THE COMPANY
 
Point.360 and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) provides high definition and standard definition digital mastering, data conversion, video and film asset management, distribution and other services to owners, producers and distributors of entertainment and advertising content. The Company provides the services necessary to edit, master, reformat, convert, archive and ultimately distribute its clients’ film and video content, including television programming feature films and movie trailers. The Company’s interconnected facilities provide service coverage to all major U.S. media centers. Clients include major motion picture studios and independent producers. The Company also rents and sells DVDs and video games directly to consumers through its Movie>Q retail stores.
 
The Company operates in two business segments from three post production and three Movie>Q locations. Each post production location is electronically tied to the others and serves the same customer base. Depending on the location size, the production equipment consists of tape duplication, editing, encoding, standards conversion, and other machinery. Each location employs personnel with the skills required to efficiently run the equipment and handle customer requirements. While all locations are not exactly the same, an order received at one location may be fulfilled at one or more “sister” facilities to use resources in the most efficient manner.
 
Typically, a feature film or television show or related material will be submitted to a facility by a motion picture studio, independent producer, advertising agency, or corporation for processing and distribution. A common sales force markets the Company’s capability for all facilities. Once an order is received, the local customer service representative determines the most cost-effective way to perform the services considering geographical logistics and facility capabilities.
 
In fiscal 2010, the Company purchased assets and intellectual property for a research and development project to address the viability of the DVD and video game rental business being abandoned by the closure of Movie Gallery/Hollywood Video and Blockbuster stores. The DVD rental market consists principally of online services (Netflix), vending machines (Redbox) and other video stores.
 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had opened three Movie>Q stores in Southern California. The stores employ an automated inventory management (“AIM”) system in a 1,200-1,600 square foot facility. By saving space and personnel costs which caused the big box stores to be uncompetitive with lower priced online and vending machine rental alternatives, Movie>Q can offer up to 10,000 unit selections to a customer at competitive rental rates. Movie>Q provides online reservations, an in-store destination experience, first run movie titles and a large unit selection (as opposed to 400-700 for a Redbox vending machine).
 
Based on the success of the proof-of-concept, the Company may seek to rapidly expand the number of Movie>Q stores while further streamlining the design and production of the AIM system. Movie>Q provides the Company with a content distribution capability complimentary to the Company’s post production business.
