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 in 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. As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $105.8 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 $84 million of outstanding debt principal that is a part of our Content & Entertainment and Corporate segments. In May 2016, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our Class A common stock, whereby each 10 shares of our Class A common stock and common stock equivalents were converted into 1 share of Class A common stock. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. Liquidity We have incurred net losses historically and have an accumulated deficit of $347.1 million as of June 30, 2016. We also have significant contractual obligations related to our recourse and non-recourse debt for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and beyond. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. We have plans in place which, when implemented, will effectively mitigate the liquidity conditions described above and ensure the Company will have adequate resources to implement its business strategy and continue as a going-concern for at least a year after these condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. As of June 30, 2016, we had cash and restricted cash balances of $23.4 million. On July 14, 2016, we received $2.0 million of additional capital from a lead lender in the form of a second lien secured loan. In addition, we have secured an aggregate of $2.0 million of committed funds from the same lead lender and $0.5 million of committed funds from our Chief Executive Officer in the form of second secured lien loans. These additional funds are expected to be received within 60 days following the initial $2.0 million loan. We have plans to implement certain cost reduction initiatives during fiscal 2017. These plans have been approved by our board of directors and are expected to achieve savings through personnel reductions, changes to occupancy costs and other related expenses. 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. In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 6 - Notes Payable, our debt obligations have instituted certain financial and liquidity covenants and capital requirements, and from time to time, we may need to use available capital resources and raise additional capital to satisfy these covenants and requirements. As discussed above, we raised $2.0 million in second lien secured debt in July 2016. This new capital will be used for general corporate purposes. We also received a backstop commitment for an additional $2.0 million of loans from the same lender and a commitment from Christopher McGurk, our Chief Executive Officer, to invest in $500,000 of loans, in both cases within the following 60 days from the initial closing of the second lien secured debt. The proceeds of this additional financing will be used to expand our content and distribution business and support the growth of our OTT channel business. There can be no assurance that the transactions under discussion will be consummated. Failure to generate adequate revenues, raise additional capital and debt or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
