Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
NATURE OF OPERATIONS	NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY Cinedigm Corp. ("Cinedigm," the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We are (i) a leading distributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles and episodes released across digital, physical, theatrical, home and mobile entertainment platforms and (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets for over 12,000 movie screens in both North America and several international countries. We report our financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment group (“Content & Entertainment” or "CEG"). The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for our digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres throughout the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. Our Services segment provides fee based support to over 12,000 movie screens in our Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments, as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers, in the form of monitoring, billing, collection and verification services. Our Content & Entertainment segment is focused on: (1) ancillary market aggregation and distribution of entertainment content and; (2) a branded and curated over-the-top ("OTT") digital network business, providing entertainment channels and applications. We are structured so that our digital cinema business (collectively, the Phase I Deployment, Phase II Deployment and Services segments) operates independently from our Content & Entertainment segment. Liquidity and Retirement of the Convertible Notes We have incurred net losses historically and have an accumulated deficit of $373.2 million as of September 30, 2017. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. In addition, we have significant debt related contractual obligations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and beyond. We continue to expect cash flows from our Phase I and II deployment operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and contractual requirements that are linked to these operations. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $48.8 million of outstanding debt principal that relates to, and is serviced by, our digital cinema business and is non-recourse to us. We also had approximately $74.6 million of outstanding debt principal that is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments of which $46.8 million was retired subsequent to September 30, 2017. See Note 10 “Subsequent Events” for further discussion. On November 1, 2017, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement with a strategic partner, (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") we sold 20,000,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, of which 19,666,667 shares were sold to the strategic partner, and 333,333 shares were sold to the CEO of the Company. In addition, we consummated exchange agreements with holders of Convertible Notes, representing approximately 99% of the principal amount of our outstanding 5.5% Convertible Notes due 2035, whereby $46.3 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes were exchanged for a combination of $17.1 million cash and 2,221,457 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Convertible Notes were immediately retired. On November 7, 2017, we exchanged the remaining balance of $0.5 million of Convertible Notes with the holder in exchange for cash and the Convertible Notes were immediately retired. As a result of the of the transactions described above, the strategic partner became a majority holder of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and is entitled to designate two (2) members of the Company’s Board of Directors, the size of which is set at seven (7) members. See Note 10 "Subsequent Events" for further discussion. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we exchanged $3.8 million of Convertible Notes for 1,315,326 shares of Class A Common Stock and $1.5 million of Second Lien Loans under two exchange agreements. We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and restricted cash balances at September 30, 2017, (ii) implemented and planned cost reduction initiatives, (iii) the availability of debt financing secured in 2017, (iv) the close of the transaction of the strategic partner discussed above, and (v) expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and capital requirements for at least a year after these consolidated interim financial statements are issued. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to develop and formulate operating plans with our new strategic partner to use available capital resources and raise additional capital. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
