The Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-179970) is a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) that allows for the issuance of a variety of securities including Class A common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase Class A common stock or preferred stock, or any combination thereof, to be specified in a supplement to the registration statement at the time of sale. No specific number of shares of Class A common stock, preferred stock or warrants exercisable for either Class A common stock to preferred stock that may be issued under the Shelf Registration Statement is determinable at this time. However, the Company has added the following sentence to the cover page and page 1 in Amendment No. 1 reflecting the potential issuances:
“In addition, the Company currently has an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 relating to the future issuance and sale of its Class A Common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase Class A common stock or preferred stock, or any combination thereof, pursuant to which up to $20,000,000 of securities remain available for sale.”

Dear Ms. Jacobs:
On behalf of Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to your letter of comment dated March 15, 2012 to Mr. Christopher J. McGurk, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The numbered responses of the Company and related captions contained in this letter correspond to the numbered paragraphs and related captions in the letter of comment. The responses provided below relate to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on March 7, 2012, Registration No. 333-179970 (the “Form S-3”). This letter is being filed concurrently with an amendment to the Form S-3 (“Amendment No. 1”).
Description of Capital Stock
Common Stock, page 22
1.
Footnote 4 to the fee table indicates that the shares of Class A common stock that you are registering include certain rights issued pursuant to the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan dated as of August 10, 2009. Please revise the description of your common stock in this section to discuss these rights. Also, revise your exhibit index to incorporate by reference the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, which we note was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to your Form 8-K filed on August 19, 2009. Finally, obtain a revised opinion of counsel that opines whether the rights that accompany your common stock are binding obligations of the registrant under the law of the jurisdiction governing the rights agreement. Refer to Section II.B.1.g of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 (“SLB No. 19”).
Ms. Barbara C. Jacobs
March 27, 2012
Page Two
RESPONSE:
The requested revisions have been made in Amendment No. 1.
Item 16. Exhibits, page II-3
2.
We note the footnote to the exhibit index indicating that you will file the form of indenture as an exhibit to a report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and incorporate it by reference into your Form S-3. Indentures covering securities to be issued in a registration statement must be qualified at the time the registration statement relating to those securities becomes effective. Refer to Interpretation 201.04 of our Trust Indenture Act of 1939 Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Accordingly, please confirm that you will file the form of indenture, and provide us sufficient time for review and comment, prior to requesting effectiveness of the registration statement.
RESPONSE:
The Company has decided not to include debt securities in the Form S-3. Accordingly, no form of indenture will be filed as an exhibit and various revisions have been made in Amendment No. 1 to reflect the deletion of debt securities as a possible security to be offered.
Item 17. Undertakings, page II-3
3.
Please provide the undertakings required by paragraphs (a)(6) and (j) of Item 512 of Regulation S-K, or advise why such undertakings do not apply to your offering.
RESPONSE:
The undertaking required by Regulation S-K 512(a)(6) has been added in Amendment No. 1. In light of the deletion of debt securities as discussed in comment 2 above, the undertaking required by Regulation S-K 512(j) has not been added.
Exhibit 5.1
4.
We note the statements in the final paragraph of the opinion that it is being rendered “solely to you” and that no one may rely on it without counsel’s prior written consent. Please obtain and file a revised opinion that does not include any implication that investors are not entitled to rely on the opinion. Refer to Section II.B.3.d. of SLB No. 19.

We note your response to prior comment 6 regarding your Securities Purchase Agreement with Sageview Capital Master, L.P. Please be advised that Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of transactions that resulted in an entity becoming a 5 percent shareholder. Disclosure is also required for transactions and relationships that are ongoing after the entity becomes a 5 percent shareholder. In this regard, we note that the company has a continuing relationship with two of the director nominees of Sageview pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, we continue to believe that you should provide appropriate disclosure regarding Sageview and its director nominees under a heading entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in your annual report on Form 10-K. Please confirm that in future filings you will provide appropriate disclosure regarding your related party transactions since the beginning of the company’s last fiscal year in accordance with Item 404 of Regulation S-K, including those with Sageview and the related party transactions discussed on page F-44 of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

We note your response to prior comment 7 that the company has entered into 17 separate agreements with nine studios that account for 56.3% of the company’s consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. Please provide us with a quantitative analysis as to why you believe that you are not substantially dependent upon any one of these studio agreements. As part of your response, tell us the largest amount of revenue that you have derived from a single or series of substantially identical contracts in your last fiscal year.
RESPONSE:
The Company performs services for various studio customers under different contractual arrangements that span across the Company’s businesses. The primary revenue streams derived from the studio agreements is virtual print fees earned in the Company’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 deployment segments, and software and content delivery fees earned in the Services segment. Attached as Exhibit A is a schedule showing revenues from the studio customers with which the Company has long-term digital cinema deployment agreements, for the year ended March 31, 2010. Also shown are the revenues from these same studios in other of the Company’s businesses. Including revenues earned from discontinued operations and classified elsewhere, these revenues were 56.3% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended March 31, 2010. The largest single agreement produced $7.5 million, or 9.6%, of the Company’s consolidated revenue for the year, and the other agreements each produced revenues that were 7.6% of revenues or less. The largest single studio relationship, including all agreements, produced $7.7 million or 9.9% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year. While significant, the Company does not believe that it is substantially dependent on any single agreement. Each agreement stands on its own and is not dependent on any other agreement. Further, the revenues produced by each studio agreement are not fixed, rather they are variable and based on the number of movies that each studio displays in theaters using the Company’s digital cinema equipment. This limits the effect of each studio contract on the Company’s revenues. Theaters cannot afford to allow a screen to remain dark by not using such screen to show content. Rather, if one studio ceases to show content on a given theater’s projection equipment, such theater would show content from another studio using the Company’s equipment. The Company would then receive fees from the showing of such other content. Accordingly, the loss of a studio contract and such losses’ effect on the Company’s revenues would be mitigated. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 the impact of the Phase 2 studio agreements was relatively small, but as Phase 2 site growth accelerates, the associated revenues will grow and the revenues from Phase 1 sources will become a smaller percentage of the total.

The Company has already filed three studio agreements from its Phase 1 Deployment with the Commission, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits 10.13, 10.14 and 10.15 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, filed with the Commission on June 14, 2010. These first agreements were new and material to the Company, because the business was then new and each of the earliest studio agreements was considered material at the time. After such time, it became ordinary course for the Company to enter into agreements with studios, and no single such agreement was considered, based on its specific terms, to be material. Accordingly, the Company has deemed the studio agreements subsequently entered into to be in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and not material, and therefore has not filed such agreements with the Commission.

of the date of the most recent test;
·
Discussion of the degree of uncertainty associated with the key assumptions. The discussion regarding uncertainty should provide specifics to the extent possible (e.g., the valuation model assumes recovery from a business downturn within a defined period of time); and
·
Description of potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions.
RESPONSE:
We note the Staff’s comment and will provide narrative that appears substantially as follows, in our next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
At March 31, 2010, the date of the most recent impairment testing date, the fair value of the Services segment goodwill exceeded the carrying value by 91% and the fair value of the Content & Entertainment segment goodwill exceeded the carrying value by 63%, and accordingly, there was no impairment for either reporting segment. The Company continues to monitor events and circumstances which may affect the fair values of both reporting units, including current market conditions.
The fair values derived in our impairment testing assume significant increases in revenue and profitability the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and continued significant growth in revenue and profitability for the Services segment for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 as a result of increased systems for our Phase 2 Deployment. The number of deployed digital systems, and the use of alternative content on those systems, are the primary revenue drivers for our goodwill reporting units. Growth in the number of deployed systems is driven by many factors including audience demand for 3D content, the amount of digital content (including 3D and alternative content such as concerts and sporting events) being made available by the Hollywood studios and content owners, and the adoption rate of digital technology by exhibitors, all of which the Company sees as continuing its strong pace. The strong growth assumed, however, is the primary driver of the use of discount rates comparable to those typically applied to early-stage, venture capital backed companies. A decrease in the fiscal 2011 revenue projections of more than 17% would have resulted in a determination of impairment for the Content & Entertainment segment. Similarly, a decrease in the fiscal 2011 revenue projections of more than 32% would have resulted in a determination of impairment for the Services segment. However, management believes the discount rates and the revenue projections utilized are reasonable.
The fair value estimates also assume that the publicly-traded comparator companies utilized provide reasonable valuation metrics when adjusted for differences in size, profitability, projected growth and diversity of operations. Selection of different Publicly-traded comparative companies may or may not have resulted in an indication

of impairment, but management believes the comparator companies utilized are reasonable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 41

We note your response to our prior comment number 7 in your response letter dated September 5, 2008. It does not appear that you have enhanced your discussion of the primary drivers in your operating activities. We repeat our prior comment, that, your discussion of cash used in operating activities appears to be a mere recitation of the changes and other information evident from the financial statements. Your disclosures should focus on the primary drivers of and other material factors necessary to provide an understanding of your cash flows. In addition, where there has been material variability in historical cash flows, your discussion should focus on the underlying reasons for the changes, as well as on their reasonably likely impact on future cash flows. Tell us what consideration you gave to providing the disclosure in accordance with the related interpretive guidance in Section IV.B of SEC Release No. 33-8350.
RESPONSE:
The Company has included a description of the drivers of its business in the second paragraph of the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of MD&A. As disclosed, the primary driver of its operating cash flow is the number of installed digital cinema systems and the pace of continued installations. However, the Company notes the Staff’s comment and agrees that it can be more specific as to the factors affecting the Company’s cash flows including the expected pace of deployments, expected working capital changes and industry trends impacting our revenues and expenses. While the actual disclosure going forward will depend on the events of the reporting period, generally changes in accounts receivable from its studio customers and others is a large component of operating cash flow, and during a period of increasing system deployments, the Company expects studio receivables to grow and negatively impact working capital and operating cash flow. During periods of fewer deployments, the Company expects receivables to decrease and positively impact cash flow, and eventually to stabilize. For the near term, the Company expects receivables to grow modestly as it continues to deploy Phase 2 systems. However, a significant portion of the current Phase 2 deployments are being made under the Exhibitor-Buyer structure, where the Company passes the majority of the studio payments to the exhibitor, less an administrative fee, and therefore operating cash flow will be largely unaffected. Changes in the Company’s trade accounts payable is also a significant factor, however even in a period of deployments, the Company does not anticipate major changes in payables activity. The Company is also subject to changes in interest expense due to increasing debt levels to fund digital cinema installations, and also has non-cash

We note that you present the results of the Pavilion Theatre as discontinued operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010. Tell us how you considered providing disclosure to discuss the facts and circumstances leading to the expected disposal, and the expected manner and timing of the disposal. Refer to ASC 205-20-50-1.a.
RESPONSE:
The Company initially presented Pavilion as discontinued operations in the Form 10-K and reclassified the historic presentation of the Pavilion operations to be comparable with the current year presentation. The Company’s Board of Directors and management decided to exit the Pavilion Theatre operations and adopted a formal plan to sell the operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Upon the purchase of the theatre in 2005, the worldwide conversion of movie theaters from presentation on 35mm film to digital was in its infancy, and the theater served as a digital cinema test site and demonstration portal for the Company’s customers. By 2009, digital cinema adoption was widespread and the Company no longer needed to use the Pavilion Theatre in this capacity. The Company’s core business is not operating movie theaters, rather it is to facilitate the conversion of movie theaters to digital and to perform various services surrounding that technology shift, and this led to the decision to sell the Pavilion Theatre. The Company has been in active negotiation with interested buyers who are in the business of operating movie theaters during the last six months and expects to finalize a sale of the Pavilion Theatre by March 31, 2011. The Company has evaluated the disclosure requirements and concluded that the presentation is appropriate under the accounting guidance. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has expanded its disclosure in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, filed on November 15, 2010, in accordance with ASC 205-20-50-1.a, as follows for Note 3:
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Pavilion Theatre generates movie theatre admission and concession revenues. Movie theatre admission revenues are recognized on the date of sale, as the related movie is viewed on that date and the Company's performance obligation is met at that time. Concession revenues consist of food and beverage sales and are also recognized on the date of sale. The Pavilion Theatre, while once a digital cinema test site and showcase for digital cinema technology, is no longer needed in that capacity due to

widespread adoption of the technology. Management decided to pursue its sale during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2010. The Company had preliminary offers from interested buyers and expects a sale to be concluded within a year. Accordingly, the Company classified the Pavilion Theatre as assets held for sale in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and reported the results of Pavilion Theatre as discontinued operation for the year ended March 31, 2010 and all prior periods.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company experienced a reduction in its estimated sales price of the Pavilion Theater as well as decline in its operating performance. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,763 and the estimate used to measure the impairment loss is a Level 3 fair value estimate. As of September 30, 2010, there is no goodwill associated with the Pavilion Theatre.
Part III (Incorporated by Reference from the Definitive Proxy Statement filed on July 29, 2010)
Item 11. Executive Compensation
5.
It appears that you have not provided a discussion of the “measures and goals” used to determine annual incentive awards nor the payout levels of the awards for each of the named executive officers. We note your statement that you believe that disclosure of the financial goals would result in competitive harm. Please provide a detailed analysis supporting your conclusion. In particular, your competitive harm analysis should justify why you do not intend to disclose what appear to be historical financial performance objectives, and it should clearly explain the nexus between disclosure of the performance objectives and the competitive harm that is likely to result from disclosure. In this regard, specify how disclosing historical financial performance objectives could provide competitors with insight or knowledge about your internal operations such that it would cause a detriment to the company and its shareholders.
RESPONSE:
The "measures and goals" used to determine the Company’s annual incentive plan award levels for the year ended March 31, 2010, and similarly for other years, were based on the achievement of the following goals: divisional, segment and consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated cash levels,
for the year ended March 31, 2010 and such other years. The goals were weighted differently for each person within the incentive plan, depending on their position within the Company, and award levels were set at a Threshold (minimum) level, Target level, and Maximum level. In total there were 51 numeric targets contained in the plan. Such target information is based on non-public information and assumptions of the Company, and if it becomes publicly available, it would (i) allow the Company's competitors, as well as other

industry professionals, to extrapolate forward looking information about the Company including, without limitation, how the Company measures its success, intends to grow and expects to perform going forward, the process by which the Company determines its trajectory for the future, the divisions in which the Company expects to see success and growth and amount of such growth and (ii) place the Company in a position of publicly disclosing future-looking financial guidance that it ordinarily does not provide but could become obligated to continue providing after such public disclosure. Lastly, disclosure of such information would alert existing or future vendors and customers to benchmarks and goals of the Company and its executive officers, which would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage when negotiating agreements with such vendors and customers, since the disclosed benchmarks may allow such parties to negotiate knowing the minimum terms the Company could or would have to accept in order to meet their benchmarks. Accordingly, disclosure of these "measures and goals" would cause the Company economic harm by upsetting the natural competitive balance of power typically present in an arms-length negotiation between two parties and could prohibit the Company from being able to nego

Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3
Filed June 18, 2010
File No. 333-166061
Dear Ms. Jacobs:
On behalf of Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp. (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to your letter of comment dated August 2, 2010 to Mr. A. Dale Mayo, former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The numbered responses of the Company and related captions contained in this letter correspond to the numbered paragraphs and related captions in the letter of comment. The responses provided below relate to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on June 18, 2010 (the “Form S-3”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Form S-3.
1.
We note that on July 26, 2010, you entered into a stock purchase agreement with Grassmere Partners related to the sale of 347,222 shares of your Class A common stock. Please provide us with a detailed analysis regarding why this concurrent offering should not be integrated into your public offering and, specifically, whether your registration statement constituted a general solicitation for purposes of your concurrent offering. Refer to Securities Act Release No. 8828 (Aug. 20, 2007) and Question 139.25 of our Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Ms. Barbara C. Jacobs
August 12, 2010
Page Two
RESPONSE:
The private offering to Grassmere Partners was a separate, privately negotiated transaction that did not originate in any way with the filing of the Form S-3 as a general solicitation. Grassmere Partners did not become familiar with the Company through the Form S-3. Peter C. Brown, the Chairman of Grassmere Partners, has worked in various capacities for approximately 20 years in theatrical exhibition and entertainment industry and the Company understands that he was aware of the Company and its role in the industry prior to the filing of the Form S-3 in April 2010. In fact, the Company was engaged in certain discussions with Mr. Brown in early 2010, prior to the initial filing of the Form S-3. Upon the retirement in June 2010 of A. Dale Mayo as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and his announcement that he would retire from the Board of Directors upon the completion of his current term, the Company began seeking candidates for the upcoming board vacancy. In this capacity, the Company contacted Mr. Brown as a potential nominee for director of the Company. As the ensuing discussions proceeded, Mr. Brown expressed an interest in making an equity investment, through Grassmere Partners, in the Company. The Company and Mr. Brown reached agreement regarding such an investment, resulting in the private placement with Grassmere Partners.
The Form S-3 seeks to register the resale by existing securityholders of Company securities. The Company is not offering to sell any securities directly pursuant to the Form S-3 and will not receive any proceeds from any sales made pursuant to the Form S-3. Even though the initial filing of the Form S-3 preceded the negotiation of the private placement, the Form S-3 was not intended to be, and in fact, as described above, did not serve as, a general solicitation with respect to the private placement. The private placement investor became interested in making the investment in the Company through a means other than the Form S-3 that did not involve a general solicitation. Grassmere Partners (1) was not identified or contacted through the marketing of the public offering being registered on the Form S-3 and (2) did not independently contact the Company as a result of any general solicitation by means of the Form S-3. Therefore, in accordance with Securities Act Release No. 8828 (Aug. 20, 2007) and Question 139.25 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, the Company believes that the Form S-3 did not serve as a form of a general solicitation and, accordingly, did not affect the availability of the Section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and further believes that the private placement to Grassmere Partners should not be integrated into the public offering being registered on the Form S-3.
2.
We note that Peter C. Brown, the chairman of Grassmere Partners, is named as a nominee for election to your board of directors in your definitive proxy statement filed on July 29, 2010. Tell us what consideration you gave to disclosing your transaction
Ms. Barbara C. Jacobs

with Grassmere Partners in your definitive proxy statement. Refer to Item 13 of Form 10-K and Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
RESPONSE:
The transaction with Grassmere was being negotiated concurrently with the finalization of the proxy statement. The terms of the Grassmere transaction were not settled in time to add language relating thereto into the proxy (which went to press in advance of its filing, posting and distribution to stockholders), as you suggest under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K (reference is made to Item 7 of Schedule 14A and Item 13 of Form 10-K). Please note that the disclosure required under Item 404(a) was made by the Company in a timely Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 30, 2010, and that this Form 8-K will be listed for incorporation by reference in the final prospectus filed for the Form S-3.

We hope this addresses all of the Commission’s comments and concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions.

The legality opinion states that the warrants “are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.” Please file a revised legality opinion that opines on whether the warrants are binding obligations. As the warrants establish contractual commitments to holders of warrants that are similar to indebtedness, counsel’s opinion should address whether the warrants are a legal and binding obligation of the company under the state contract law governing the warrant agreements.

Represents goodwill from three small acquisitions.
The
impairment charge recorded to the USM reporting unit was driven primarily by a
recent downturn in in-theatre advertising sales due to deterioration in overall
economic conditions and how this impacts future operating trends resulting
in a reduction in the forecasted discounted cash flows. The decline
in the valuation of the peer companies in this sector was also a factor in the
fair value calculation and supports the Company’s observations of the overall
economic conditions.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company revised the revenue projections
for the Pavilion Theatre reporting unit based on the impact on forecasted
operations due to current recessionary trends and its current business model
within the Company. This revision resulted in a decreased estimated
fair value for this reporting unit. Declines in the valuations of the
designated peer group companies for this reporting unit were also a factor in
the fair value calculation.
The
Bigger Picture reporting unit is distributing increasing amounts of live and
pre-recorded 2D and 3D content, including independent movies and alternative
content to digitally-equipped locations. As the nationwide (and
worldwide) conversion of theatres to digital quickens, the Company expects this
reporting unit to benefit as a result, as theatre owners for the first time can
use their screens for content other than traditional feature movies. In
particular, the Company is deploying an exclusive new product, Cinelive, into
theatres which allows
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
March 25,
2009
Page
Three
exhibitors
to display live 3D content such as concerts and sporting events. In
2008, the Bigger Picture reporting unit distributed only a fraction of the
expected content and digital screens that will be reasonably available over the
next five years. However, the Bigger Picture’s historical results to date have
been below expectations and the Company revised forecasts of revenue growth and
margins lower to reflect what it anticipates to be a competitive landscape in
the provision of alternative content. This, overall recessional
trends and its impact on future operations, resulted in a decrease of estimated
fair value for this reporting unit and an impairment charge in the December 31,
2008 quarterly period. A decline in the valuations of the designated peer group
companies for this reporting unit was also a factor in the fair value
calculation.
The
Software reporting unit, like The Bigger Picture, is a beneficiary of the
theatre industry’s conversion to digital exhibition of movies and
content. The Software reporting unit produces the only currently
viable product for theatre owners to manage their digital systems (the Theatre
Command Center), in addition to providing other software products to the movie
distribution and exhibition industry. The Theatre Command Center
(TCC) was successfully installed in theatres having 3,723 screens during the
Company’s Phase I rollout. In addition, the Company has contracts for
Phase II deployments (started December 2008) of the TCC with exhibitors, the
rate of which was used to estimate the fair value of the reporting
unit. The Software reporting unit also produces other products
for the distribution and exhibition market and continued sales of those products
are expected to continue, consistent with historical
trends. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of that reporting unit
exceeds its carrying value at December 31, 2008 and no impairment charge was
recorded.
The
Company expects to add the following disclosure, pursuant to the provisions of
paragraph 47(a) of SFAS 142, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ending March 31, 2009, keeping in mind that we are using the results
of the December 31, 2008 quarter ended impairment analysis and will update our
analysis at year end.

The
impairment charges were recorded as of December 31, 2008 following a period of
decline in the Company’s market capitalization and overall negative economic
conditions. Declines were noted in the market valuations of
designated peer group companies of each of the above reporting units and were a
significant factor in the resulting impairment
charges. The

impairment
charge recorded to the USM reporting unit was further impacted by a recent
downturn in in-theatre advertising sales due to deterioration in overall
economic conditions and a resulting reduction in the forecasted discounted cash
flows. The impairment charge recorded for the Pavilion Theatre
reporting unit was impacted by revised revenue estimates to better
align its forecasted operations due to current recessionary trends and its
current business model within the Company. Also, Bigger Picture
reporting unit’s near term forecasts were revised to reflect what is anticipated
to be a competitive landscape for the provision of alternative content, however
offset by expected rapid digital screen count growth and alternative content
availability. The impairment tests did not reveal any impairment
noted in the remaining goodwill reporting units, primarily Software, due to
historical and expected sales of software products to the theatrical market,
primarily to support the digital cinema rollout.

We
note your response to prior comment no. 3 and have the following
comment. We note that you used the enterprise value for
assessing and measuring goodwill impairment. You further state
that you determined that the overall enterprise value of the company was
reasonable. Describe the method utilized to determine that the
overall enterprise value was reasonable. In
addition, indicate whether the fair value of your long-term debt used to
calculate the overall enterprise value was equal to its net book value or
at a different amount. Explain how you determined the fair
value of such debt.
RESPONSE:
To
determine the overall enterprise value, the Company used the Business Enterprise
Value (“BEV”), of the Company based on its market capitalization plus the fair
value of the Company’s debt at December 31, 2008. The Company
determined that the overall enterprise value was reasonable by first computing
the fair value of each of the four goodwill reporting units, in the impairment
testing as of December 31, 2008, and then computing the implied fair value of
the non-goodwill reporting units as the difference between the overall
enterprise value of the Company, and the goodwill reporting units’ calculated
fair value. The Company then assessed the reasonableness of the
implied fair value of the non-goodwill reporting units using market comparisons
of revenue and EBITDA multiples from a representative sample of comparable
public companies in similar industries and where applicable, similar
size. Based on the results of this comparison, the Company determined
the implied fair value of the non-goodwill reporting units, and therefore the
overall BEV of the Company, was considered reasonable. Based on this
calculation, at December 31, 2008, the Company’s BEV was determined to be $243.0
million; the fair value of the goodwill reporting units was estimated to be
$30.6 million, and the resulting value of $212.4 million represents the implied
fair value of the non-goodwill reporting units. The BEV
of $243.0 million consists of the Company’s December 31, 2008 market
capitalization of $10.3 million plus the fair value of the Company’s debt of
$232.7 million.
The
Company estimated the fair value of its long-term debt in accordance with SFAS
No.107, SFAS No. 157 and FASB Concepts Statement No. 7. The majority
of the Company’s debt is

Because
of unprecedented market conditions in the current global economy, the Company
considers that although the Company’s variable rate debt is designed to reflect
current overall market interest rates, it may not fully reflect the market
conditions in today’s economy. The Company estimated the fair value
of its debt considering the Company’s current credit profile, current market
conditions (primarily the recessional condition prevalent in the global economy)
and current market interest rates for arrangements with similar terms and
conditions Once the Company determined the estimated fair value of
the underlying debt using the aforementioned assumptions, it determined the
future cash flows of each arrangement based on their current contractual terms
then discounted those future cash flows using current estimated market rates and
conditions to determine the present value at December 31, 2008. Using
the fair value of debt, the Company has concluded that its overall BEV appears
reasonable using approach described above.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company is a party to an interest rate swap arrangement
which it entered into to limit its exposure on the variable rate debt due to
adverse interest rate changes. The swap agreement expires in August
2010, at which time we anticipate entering into a new swap agreement, since the
term of the variable rate debt continues to August 2013. The fair value of the
instrument at December 31, 2008 was a liability to the Company of $3.8 million,
based on forecasts of interest rates over the remainder of the swap
term. Changes in the fair value swap agreement are recorded to the
Company’s financial statements pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No.
133. Pursuant to paragraph 13A of FAS 107, the Company did not
consider the fair value of the interest rate swap when determining the fair
value of the variable rate debt.
In
accordance with paragraph 10 of SFAS 107, the Company will disclose the
estimated fair values of its long-term debt above, and the methods
and assumptions used in the estimate, as noted above, in the Company’s report on
Form 10-K for the year ending March 31, 2009 (please see response to item no. 4

RESPONSE:
As of the

filer. As permitted, the Company made a determination at the end of
its second fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008, that it qualified to exit
accelerated filer status after its fiscal year end on March 31, 2009 unless it
should again qualify as an accelerated filer in the future. However, Rule
12(b)(2) promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, requires that the Company continue to check the “accelerated
filer” box for the ongoing fiscal year and will file as a non-accelerated filer
and will no longer check the “accelerated filer” box after its fiscal year end

RESPONSE:
In light
of the continued decline in our market capitalization from September 30, 2008 to
December 31, 2008, caused by the depressed economic conditions, negative
investor sentiment, investor concern regarding the amount of indebtedness the
Company has incurred to fund the purchase of our digital cinema equipment, and
possible further dilution of existing equity holders , we believe this
represents a triggering event for an

assessment
of goodwill impairment. We have assessed the fair value of each
reporting unit as of December 31, 2008 and compared the fair value of the
reporting units to their respective carrying values.
The
factors that have contributed to the decline in our stock price have been
considered in our discounted cash flow projections.
While the
Company has not changed its fundamental business strategy, we realize the
current lack of capital and financing sources and the overall depressed market
conditions, have delayed execution of some of our strategic plans, such as the
large scale deployment of additional digital cinema equipment, These market
conditions have also diminished the market multiples of our comparable peer
companies, discussed in more detail in response #3. As a result of
our goodwill impairment tests as of December 31, 2008, we have recorded goodwill
impairment charges of $6.5 million, or approximately 45% of the total goodwill
that existed on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
2008.
The
Company’s management and board of directors will continue to evaluate the
drivers of future stock price declines and how and what those declines represent
to our business strategy and discounted cash flow projections.
3.
Please
clarify the portion of your response to prior comment No. 2 that states in
preparing your discounted cash flow analysis, you calculated the fair
value of each reporting unit utilizing an income approach (discounted cash
flows) and a market approach with 60% and 40% weight applied to each
method, respectively. Explain how you identify peer groups for
each reporting unit. Describe how you identify reporting units
and explain why only four reporting units represent 30% of your
revenues. Identify the other reporting
units. Further, it is unclear why you include market
capitalization of peer groups in your analysis while you do not consider
your market capitalization within your analysis of determining the fair
value of your reporting units. Explain why you believe the
market capitalization can not be directly correlated or reconciled to the
“aggregate” fair value of your reporting
units.
RESPONSE:
The
Company derives the fair value of each reporting unit by weighting an income
approach (discounted cash flow) and a market approach. The discounted
cash flow approach uses annual forecasts that extend five years into the future,
with a terminal value applied, while the market approach considers the revenue
and EBITDA multiples of peer comparable companies, and applies those median
multiples to the reporting units.
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
Febrary 9, 2009
Page Four
The
median multiples are adjusted for relative factors including size, profitability
and growth. The income approach is weighted 60% to 70% and
the market approach is weighted 40% to 30% to derive the fair value of the
reporting unit. The weightings are evaluated each time a
goodwill impairment assessment is performed and give consideration to the
relative reliability of each approach at that time.
The
discounted cash flows consider assumptions related to our strategic plans,
market conditions and market valuations. The market approach
considers individual peer companies who display reasonably similar operating and
economic characteristics of the reporting unit and uses multiples of revenue and
earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization
expense.
The
Company determines its reporting units based on the criteria in FAS 142,
“Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS
142”). Three out of the four reporting units aggregate 100% of our
content and entertainment reportable segment and the fourth reporting unit is a
component of our Media Services reportable segment. These reporting units
contain goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets as a result of
previous business acquisitions. We applied the reporting unit criteria in FAS
142 to the components of the operating segments to determine if reporting units
should be identified one level below the operating segments. We concluded that
our goodwill reporting units identified meet the following criteria in FAS 142:
1) constitutes a business as defined under EITF 98-3, “Determining Whether a
Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business
Abstract”; 2) has discrete financial information available, and 3)
operating results are reviewed by segment managers. The aggregated
revenues of these four goodwill reporting units represent approximately 30% of
our consolidated revenues for the period ended December 31,
2008. The Company’s remaining operations are derived from
“virtual print fees” earned from the Hollywood studios through the Company’s
Christie/AIX unit (60%) and the delivery of movies and other content into
theaters and other venues is through the Company’s Digital Media Services Unit
(7%).
In our
previous comment, we believed that since our goodwill reporting
units comprised less than one-third of our consolidated revenues, we did
not initially consider the market capitalization of the Company in our goodwill
impairment tests; therefore, we stated that our overall market capitalization
could not be correlated or reconciled to the reporting units. As a
method of allocating fair value to our reporting units not subject to FAS 142,
we, calculated the Company’s business enterprise value as the market
capitalization as of December 31, 2008 plus our interest bearing debt
outstanding. Because the Company’s capital structure includes significant debt
financing, we believe the business enterprise
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
Febrary 9, 2009
Page Five
value more accurately captures the Company’s total value
then market capitalization alone for purposes of allocating fair value. As
discussed in response #2, we have taken an impairment charge under FAS 142 based
on our discounted cash flows and market multiples. We compared
the implied fair value of our remaining reporting units not subject to FAS 142
to market multiples of peer companies, selected in the same way as we
did market multiples for our goodwill reporting units, and determined that the
overall business enterprise value of the Company is reasonable

Tell
us your consideration of providing disclosures in your critical accounting
policies to fully describe the estimates and assumptions included in your
assessment and evaluation of goodwill impairment. In this
respect, you should consider providing disclosures that serve as
supplement to your accounting policy for goodwill impairment
testing. We have identified several areas that we believe would
enhance your disclosures, including how you determine the weighting
applied when using multiple fair value approaches (i.e. the income
approach and the market approach), any estimates of control premiums that
are factor into your analysis, the annual goodwill impairment assessment
date and any discount rates applied when you perform a discounted cash
flows analysis, as well as how the reporting units are identified, how
goodwill is allocated to the reporting units and how the estimated fair
value of each reporting units is determined. We refer you to
Item 303(a)(3)(ii) of Regulation S-K and Financial Reporting Release No.
60 and Section V of SEC Release No. 33-8350. Please provide us
with any proposed disclosures you plan on making with respect to your
critical accounting policy for goodwill impairment
testing.
RESPONSE:
The
Company has made the following disclosure in its Form 10-Q for the period ended
December 31, 2008:
The
carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are
reviewed for possible impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). SFAS No. 142
addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible
assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company tests its
goodwill for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur
indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company
reviews possible impairment of finite lived intangible assets in accordance with
SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
The
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
Febrary 9, 2009
Page Six
Company
records goodwill and intangible assets resulting from past business
combinations.
The
Company’s process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the
determination of fair value of its four goodwill reporting units: AccessIT SW,
The Pavilion Theatre, USM and The Bigger Picture. Identification of
reporting units is based on the criteria contained in SFAS No.
142. The Company normally conducts its annual goodwill impairment
analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, measured as of March 31,
unless triggering events occur which require goodwill to be tested as of an
interim date. As discussed further below, the Company concluded that
one or more triggering events had occurred during the three months ended
December 31, 2008 and conducted impairment tests as of December 31,
2008.
Inherent
in the fair value determination for each reporting unit are certain judgments
and estimates relating to future cash flows, including management’s
interpretation of current economic indicators and market conditions, and
assumptions about the Company’s strategic plans with regard to its operations.
To the extent additional information arises, market conditions change or the
Company’s strategies change, it is possible that the conclusion regarding
whether the remaining goodwill is impaired could change and result in future
goodwill impairment charges that will have in a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The
discounted cash flow methodology establishes fair value by estimating the
present value of the projected future cash flows to be generated from the
reporting unit. The discount rate applied to the projected future cash flows to
arrive at the present value is intended to reflect all risks of ownership and
the associated risks of realizing the stream of projected future cash
flows. The discounted cash flow methodology uses our projections of
financial performance for a five-year period. The most significant
assumptions used in the discounted cash flow methodology are the discount rate,
the terminal value and expected future revenues and gross margins, which vary
among reporting units. The discount rates utilized as of the December 31, 2008
testing date range from 16.0% - 27.5% based on the estimated market
participant weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for each unit.
The market participant based WACC for each unit gives consideration to factors
including, but not limited to, capital structure, historic and projected
financial performance, and size.
The
market multiple methodology establishes fair value by comparing the reporting
unit to other companies that are similar, from an operational or industry
standpoint and considers the risk characteristics in order to determine the risk
profile relative to the
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
Febrary 9,
2009
Page Seven
comparable
companies as a group. The most significant assumptions are the market
multiplies and the control premium. The Company has elected not
to apply a control premium to the fair value conclusions for the purposes of
impairment testing.
The
Company then assigns a weighting to the discounted cash flows and market
multiple methodologies to derive the fair value of the reporting
unit. The income approach is weighted 60% to 70% and the
market approach 40% to 30% to derive the fair value of the reporting
unit. The weigh

2008. The AccessIT software reporting unit is contained within the
company’s Media Services segment, while the other three reporting

units
together comprise the Content and Entertainment segment. The Company
recognizes that a significant adverse change in the business climate, among
other examples used in Paragraph 28 of SFAS 142, requires goodwill to be tested,
if such event or circumstance would more likely than not reduce the fair value
of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has
considered the recent decline in its market capitalization, but it does not
believe that this factor alone reduced the fair value of any one of the four
reporting units described above, below its carrying amount. The
Company reviews the actual and forecasted results of each reporting unit monthly
and has noted no declines in operating performances of three of its reporting
units, with the exception of ACS, as of September 30, 2008. The
Company conducted a goodwill impairment test of the ACS reporting unit and
concluded that no impairment charge was necessary because the fair value of the
reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount.
The
Company tests all four reporting units for goodwill impairment annually, as of
each fiscal year-end and on an interim basis if certain events occur indicating
that an impairment may have occurred, using the “more likely than not” guidance
stated in SFAS 142. The Company’s market capitalization is based on
company-wide factors and varied marketplace factors. The market
capitalization currently experienced by the Company as a whole cannot be
directly correlated or reconciled to the fair value of the Company’s four
reporting units. In preparing the discounted cash flow analysis, the
Company calculates the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing an income
approach (discounted cash flows), based on expected future operating results,
and a market approach, considering the market capitalization and multiples of a
peer group, with a 60% and 40% weight assigned to each method,
respectively. The Company recognizes the existence of recent
operating losses in certain of reporting units; however, these losses include
certain non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization. The
movements in the Company’s market capitalization will continue to be part of our
impairment analysis review.

We
note your response to prior comment No. 11 indicating that the interest
rate swap arrangement was entered into on April 2, 2008 with the swap
agreement becoming effective on August 1, 2008. Please clarify
how you determined that it was appropriate to record the changes in fair
value for the interest rate swap during the three months ended June 30,
2008. In this regard, it does not appear as though changes in
fair value should be recorded until the interest rate swap agreement
became effective on August 1, 2008. In addition, please describe
your consideration of providing disclosures as outlined in paragraphs 32
and 39 of SFAS 157.

RESPONSE:
On April
2, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (“Swap”),
effective immediately, with HSBC Bank as the counterparty. At that
date, the Company recorded the Swap in accordance with SFAS No. 133, concluding
that the Swap is a derivative instrument effective on April 2,
2008. If the Swap had been settled as of June 30, 2008, the Company
would have received or paid the fair value of the Swap as of that date from the
counterparty. Therefore, the changes in fair value were appropriately recorded
for the period ended June 30, 2008.
The Swap
was entered into in order to fix the interest rate and guard against the
exposure to increases in the variable interest rate under the Company’s GE
Credit Facility. The August 1, 2008 date represented the date we
began payments on the GE Credit Facility. However, as described
above, the Company believes the Swap was effective and enforceable on
April 2, 2008, and was properly recorded in the June 30, 2008 financial
statements. In its Form 10-Q filed for the period ended September 30,
2008 the Company has properly described the Swap as being effective on April 2,
2008. The Company apologizes for the miscommunication included
in the previous response letter.
The
Company considered the disclosure requirements as outlined in paragraphs 32 and
39 of SFAS 157 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and has concluded the
following disclosure requirements under paragraph 32, and as it relates to the
disclosures required in paragraphs 33-35 (as referenced in paragraph 39), were
applicable to the Company:
Paragraph
32:
a.
The
fair value measurements at the reporting
date.
b.
The
level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements
in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1),
significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3).
e.
The
valuation technique used to measure fair value, and a discussion of
changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the
period.
Paragraph
34:
a.
The
quantitative disclosures required by this Statement shall be presented
using a tabular format.

Below is
the disclosure that was included in Footnote 2 to the Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2008:
ACCOUNTING
FOR DERIVATIVES
In April
2008, the Company executed an interest rate swap agreement (the “Interest Rate
Swap”) (see Note 5) to limit the Company’s exposure to changes in interest
rates. The Interest Rate Swap is a derivative financial instrument,
which the Company accounts for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended and interpreted ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair value on the balance
sheet. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are
either recognized in other comprehensive income (a component of stockholders'
equity) or net income depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge
changes in cash flows or fair value. The Company has determined that
changes in value of its Interest Rate Swap should be recorded as a component of
net income or loss (see Note 5).
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
On April
1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157),
for financial assets and liabilities. The statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The fair value measurement disclosures are
grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
· Level 1 –
quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
· Level 2 –
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar
investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)
· Level 3 –
significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in
determining the fair value of investments)
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market
approach, where prices and other relevant information is generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets or
liabilities.
The
following table summarizes the levels of fair value measurements of the
Company’s financial assets:

as much specificity as possible, and to disclose material information as soon as
appropriate, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the federal

in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section in the Form 10-Q for the

it would be premature to disclose specific details of proposed financing
arrangements that it is pursuing, but acknowledges that it will make such
disclosures, including alternatives to such plans, as appropriate in future
filings. In addition, in future filings the Company will specifically
disclose that if the Company is not successful in securing funding for its Phase
II deployment from lenders, exhibitors and hardware vendors, such deployment
would have to be delayed and thereby significantly reduce revenue
growth. The Company will update its disclosures to provide as many
specifics as possible on the actual and expected developments in this

Your
response to prior comment 5 indicates that you will add disclosures

reports to estimate the fair value of goodwill and intangible
assets. Please describe the nature and extent of the specialist
involvement in your determination of the fair value. See
Securities Act Rule 436 of Regulation
C.
RESPONSE:
The
Company has engaged third party valuation firms (“firms”) for purposes of
allocating the purchase price of assets acquired, including goodwill and
intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in accordance with SFAS 141.
The Company also utilizes these firms to assist in its periodic
impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. The nature and
extent of the firms’ involvement includes reviewing their qualifications,
supplying relevant business combination transaction documents,
management’s forecasts, cash flow analysis and other relevant data,
discussing the valuation model and results with the firms, reviewing their
results to determine if they are in line with management’s expectations of
our business, market capitalization and other management considerations.
The Company has ultimate responsibility for the values assigned to
such assets and liabilities related to business combinations and
conclusions on any goodwill or

intangible
asset impairment testing. We will not reference reliance on third
parties in future filings and will make the following disclosures with
respect to these matters:
GOODWILL
AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No.
142”), which addresses the recognition and measurement of goodwill and other
intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. Carrying values of
goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for
possible impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The Company tests its
goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment in
accordance with the applicable accounting literature annually and in interim
periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
may be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of its amortizing
intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” whenever events or changes in
business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not
be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer
appropriate. The Company estimates the fair value of goodwill and intangible
assets resulting from business combinations by reference to estimates of the
discounted future cash flows of the associated products and services and by
referencing the market multiples of identified peer group companies. It is
possible that the estimates and assumptions used in assessing the carrying value
of these assets, such as future sales and expense levels, may need to be
reevaluated in the case of continued market deterioration, which could result in
impairment of these assets.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources, page 28

We
note your response to comment 7 that you will provide an enhanced
discussion of the primary drivers of the business in future
filings. It appears that the disclosure in the Liquidity and
Capital Resources section of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2008 does not contain this enhanced disclosure. Please
advise.
RESPONSE:
As the
Company’s business is primarily driven by the emerging digital cinema
marketplace, the primary revenue driver will be the increasing number of
digitally equipped screens. There are approximately 38,000 movie theater
screens in the United States and Canada, and approximately 107,000 screens
worldwide. Approximately 5,200 of the domestic screens are equipped with
digital cinema technology, and 3,723 of those screens contain AccessIT’s
equipment and software. We anticipate the vast majority of the industry’s
screens to be converted to digital in the next 5-7 years, and we have
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian
October

Page

announced
plans to convert up to an additional 10,000 domestic screens to digital in our
“Phase II” deployment plan over the next three years. For those screens
that are deployed by AccessIT, the primary revenue source will be virtual print
fees, with the number of digital movies shown per screen, per year being the key
indicator for earning and measuring the virtual print fees, since the studios
pay such fees on a per movie, per screen basis. For all new digital
screens, whether or not deployed by AccessIT, the opportunity for other forms of
revenue also increases. The Company may generate additional software
license fee revenue (mainly the Theater Command Center software which is used by
exhibitors to aid in the operation of their systems), alternative content
distribution fees (such as concerts and sporting events) from the Company’s
Bigger Picture unit, and fees from the delivery of content via satellite or hard
drive, may also result. In all cases, the number of digitally-equipped
screens in the marketplace is the primary determinant of the Company’s possible
revenue streams, although the emerging presence of competitors for software and
content distribution and delivery may limit this growth. The Company
was commencing the process of responding to the prior comment letter at the time
the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008 was filed, and
anticipates providing further enhanced disclosure, including the factors stated
herein, in future filings.

RESPONSE:
The
Company added additional disclosure regarding the timing of and basis for
recognition of its major sources of revenue, including virtual print fees,
cinema advertising and digital content distribution fees, in its 10-Q filing for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to enhance the explanation of the Company’s
revenue recognition policy, in accordance with SAB Topic 13B, Question
1. However, as virtual print fees (“VPF”)
Mr.
Stephen Krikorian

and
in-theater advertising revenue represent the Company’s two largest revenue
streams (with VPF and in-theater advertising revenue representing approximately
50% and 24% of consolidated revenues for the year ended March 31, 2008,
respectively), the Company recognizes that further enhanced disclosure regarding
the Company’s contractual arrangements with customers and the associated revenue
recognition policies for VPF and in-theater advertising revenue would be
useful. Accordingly, the Company proposes to include additional
disclosure of VPF and in-theater advertising contractual arrangements and
revenue recognition policies, as follows:
VPFs:
“VPFs are
earned pursuant to long-term contracts with movie distributors and exhibitors,
whereby amounts are payable by the distributors to the Company according to a
fixed fee schedule, when the distributors’ movies are displayed on screens
utilizing the Company’s digital cinema equipment installed in movie
theaters. The Company is entitled to one VPF for every movie title
displayed per screen. The Company’s VPF revenue is therefore
dependent on the number of movie titles released and displayed on its equipment
in any given accounting period. The Company recognizes VPF revenue in
the period in which the movie first opens for general audience viewing in that
digitally-equipped movie theater, as the Company’s performance obligation has
been substantially met at that time.”
In-Theater
Advertising:
“The
Company has contracts with exhibitors to display pre-show advertisements on
their screens, in exchange for certain fees paid to the
exhibitors. The Company then contracts with businesses of various
types to place their advertisements in select theater locations, designs the
advertisement, and places it on-screen for specific periods of time, generally
ranging from three to twelve months. The Company recognizes revenue
from in-theater advertising ratably over the period of time the advertisement is
displayed and earned.”
In
addition to the above proposed additional disclosures, the Company evaluated the
revenue recognition policy disclosures related to all of its other revenue
streams and proposes to add the following disclosure with respect to the revenue
recognition policy for the Company’s 9-screen movie theater in Brooklyn, New
York (”the Pavilion Theater”):
“Movie
theatre admission and concession revenues are generated at the Company’s
9-screen theater in Brooklyn, New York (“the Pavilion
Theater”). Theater admission

revenues
are recognized on the date of sale, as the related movie is viewed on that date
and the Company’s performance obligation is met at that
time. Concession revenues consist of food and beverage sales and is
also recognized on the date of purchase.”
Other
than VPFs and in-theater advertising, no other revenue source accounts for more
than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue. The Company will continue to
periodically review its revenue recognition and other disclosures and add any
further information that may be helpful to readers.

1.
You
disclose that five customers each represented 10% or more of AccessIT DC’s
revenues and AccessIT DC’s customers comprised 78.7% of Media Services’
revenues. In addition, you disclose that Overture Films, Summit
Entertainment, and 20th Century Fox each comprised approximately 41.9%,
12.4%, and 11.8%, respectively, of AccessIT SW’s revenues for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2008. Please disclose whether any of your customers
represented 10% or more of the company’s consolidated revenues. Discuss
your relationship with any such customers and provide us with an analysis
as to why you have determined that your agreements, if any, with these
customers do not need to be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of
Regulation S-K.
RESPONSE:
The
Company advises the United States Securities Exchange Commission staff (the
“Staff”) that none of the Company’s customers represented 10% or more of the
Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended March 31, 2008.
The
Company does not have any specific relationships with its
customers. The Company’s customer agreements with its customers were
not filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K as they were made in the
ordinary course of business and are not material to the Company on a
consolidated basis.

RESPONSE:
The
persons referred to on page 21 were the purchasers of the Company’s senior notes
issued in August 2007 (referred to as the 2007 Senior Notes). The
shares so described were issued as payment of interest on the 2007 Senior

Management’ s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
4.
Please
consider expanding this section to include known trends, demands,
commitments, events and uncertainties. This disclosure should provide
material historical and prospective disclosure enabling investors to
assess the financial condition and results of your operations, with
particular emphasis on your prospects for the future. Disclosure should be
based on financial, operational, and other information known to you as
well as known trends and uncertainties and assessment of whether these
trends and uncertainties will have, or are reasonably likely to have, a
material impact on your liquidity, capital resources, or results of
operations. See SEC Release No. 33-8350. For example, consider discussing
the impact of the Phase II deployment and the working capital that you
will need and expect to raise in order to implement the Phase II
deployment. Discuss the financing that you intend to enter into and your
course of action if you are unable to secure
financing.
RESPONSE:
The
Company acknowledges the requirement to provide such information, and will make
additional Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of

Operations
(“MD&A”) disclosures in future filings as necessary. In the Form
10-Q the Company has made certain additional disclosures, for example, regarding
its Phase II deployment the Company has disclosed the following:
“Our
Phase II Deployment would require the purchase of up to 10,000 digital cinema
projection systems, which together with installation and related costs, could
aggregate approximately $700 million. The cost of such equipment is
expected to be funded with a combination of long term debt and payments from
exhibitors and other third parties. The Company is currently pursuing
various financing options with private parties in connection with the proposed
Phase II Deployment. If none of such options is successful, the
Company will reconsider alternatives.”
As
further discussed in the response to Comment 7, the Company is operating in an
emerging industry area, and will also consider making additional disclosure of
key metrics and drivers in the businesses in which it operates, that are
expected to impact the Company’s financial condition.
Critical Accounting
Policies, page 23
5.
Your
critical accounting policies should describe your estimates and
assumptions that are highly uncertain or susceptible to change and the
related material impact on financial condition or operating performance.
For instance, you should provide an enhanced discussion of the estimates
and assumptions used in your customized software development contracts
accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis. Also, consider
providing a discussion of impairment testing on goodwill, intangible
assets and fixed assets since your disclosures on page F-10 appear to
indicate these areas require significant estimates and judgment.
Disclosure should be considered as to why these material accounting
estimates and assumptions bear the risk of change, how you arrived at the
estimate, the accuracy of the estimate/assumption in the past, how they
have changed, and any reasonably likely future changes. We refer you to
Section V of SEC Release No. 33-8350, Commission Guidance Regarding
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
RESPONSE:
The
Company notes the Staff’s comment and will expand its disclosure in future
filings for revenue recognition, goodwill and other items in accordance with
Section V of SEC Release No 33-8350, regarding estimates and assumptions
associated with such critical accounting policies. The Company has
already made certain additions to the accounting

Stephen Krikorian

policy
disclosure in the Form 10-Q. The percentage of completion basis of
accounting relates to only one particular contract, for a custom software
application, which is not material to the Company as a whole. The
Company will revise its disclosure in future filings to indicate this fact, and
it will provide details of the amounts involved. An example of the
additional disclosure that the Company plans to add in future filings, in the
case of goodwill impairment testing and fixed assets, is as
follows:
Goodwill and intangible
assets: Carrying values of goodwill and other intangible
assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for possible impairment in accordance
with SFAS No. 142. We test our goodwill for impairment in accordance
with the applicable accounting literature. We test our goodwill for
impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating
that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. We review the
value of our fixed assets and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144
whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of
these assets are no longer appropriate. We estimate the fair value of
goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations, primarily
relying upon third party valuation reports which utilize discounted future cash
flows of the associated products and services. It is possible that
the estimates and assumptions used in assessing the carrying value of these
assets, such as future sales and expense levels, may need to be reevaluated in
the case of continued market deterioration, which could result in impairment of
these assets.
Fixed
Assets: Useful lives are determined based on an estimate of
either physical or economic obsolescence, or both. During the last
three fiscal years the Company has not made any revisions to estimated useful
lives, nor recorded any impairment charges on its fixed assets.
Results of Operations, page

6.
We
note instances where two or more sources of a material change have been
identified, but the quantification of the amount that each source
contributed to the change is not disclosed. As an example, your disclosure
on page 25 indicates that the $30.3 million increase in revenues during
fiscal 2007 was driven largely by the ACS Acquisition, VPF revenues,
license fees earned for your TCC software and the Bigger Picture
Acquisition offset by revenues from your IDCs. As another example, your
disclosure on page 27 indicates that the $4.4 million increase in direct
operating costs during fiscal 2008 was due to the acquisition of ACS,
minimum guaranteed obligations under the theatre advertising agreements
with exhibitors for displaying cinema adverting, the acquisition of The
Bigger Picture and the IDC disposition. Tell us your consideration of

RESPONSE:
The
Company notes the Staff’s comment, and will provide additional quantification of
changes in key financial statement items in future filings, in accordance with
SEC Release 33-6835. For example, the Company has enhanced certain
disclosures to the Form 10-Q, as shown below.

increased $2.4 million or 13%. The increase in revenues was primarily
due to a 40% increase in VPF revenues, in the Media Service segment,
attributable to the increased number of Systems installed in movie theatres,
following the completion of our Phase I Deployment. We also
experienced a 35% increase in revenues from delivery of movies to digitally
equipped theatres, due to the increase in the number of such theatres over the
last year. The gains were partially offset by a 17% decline in
in-theatre advertising revenues, in the Content & Entertainment segment,
mostly attributable to the elimination of various under performing customer
contracts. We also experienced a decline in software revenues, due to
one-time license fees from our Theater Command Center software realized during
the Phase I Deployment. We expect these software license fees to
resume upon either an anticipated further domestic deployment of Systems (“the
Phase II Deployment”), or an international deployment of Systems. There were
2,692 Systems installed at June 30, 2007 compared to 3,723 Systems installed at
June 30, 2008. We expect revenues to generally remain near current
levels until there is an increase in the number of Systems deployed from our
anticipated Phase II Deployment, due to the resultant VPFs and other revenue
sources including content delivery and distribution of alternative content
generated from digitally equipped movie theatres.
The
Company also recognizes the requirement to further specify the dollar amount of
material changes and will do so in future filings in addition to a textual
discussion of the changes.

statements. Your disclosures should focus on the primary drivers of and
other material factors necessary to provide an understanding of your cash
flows and the indicative value of historical cash flows. In addition,
where there has been material variability in historical cash flows, your
discussion should focus on the underlying reasons for the changes, as well

Please disclose whether any of your customers represented 10% or more of the company’ s consolidated revenues. Discuss your relationship with any such customers and pr ovide us with an analysis as to why you have determined that your agreements, if any, with these customers do not need to be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K. Other, page 11 2. Please consider adding a corporate organi zation chart that provides a graphic representation of the company’s business a nd its three reporting segments. To the extent material, please include the co mpany’s subsidiaries to show the relationship between the company and the en tities you discuss in this section. Item 5.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Fi nancial Condition and Results of Operations 4. Please consider expanding this secti on to include known trends, demands, commitments, events and uncertainties. Th is disclosure should provide material historical and prospective disclosure enabling investors to assess the financial condition and results of your operations, with particular emphasis on your prospects for the future. Disclosure shoul d be based on financial, operational, and other information known to you as well as known trends and uncertainties and assessment of whether these trends and uncertainties will have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on your liq uidity, capital resour ces, or results of operations. See SEC Release No. 33-8350. For example, consider discussing the impact of the Phase II deployment and the working capital that you will need and expect to raise in order to implemen t the Phase II deployment. Discuss the financing that you intend to enter into and your course of action if you are unable to secure financing. A. Dale Mayo Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. August 6, 2008 Page 3 Critical Accounting Policies, page 23 5. Your critical accounting policies should describe your estimates and assumptions that are highly uncertain or susceptible to change and the related material impact on financial condition or operating performance. For instance, you should provide an enhanced discussion of the estimates and assumptions used in your customized software development cont racts accounted for on a percentage-of- completion basis. Also, consider provi ding a discussion of impairment testing on goodwill, intangible assets and fixed asse ts since your disclosures on page F-10 appear to indicate these areas require significant estimates and judgment. Disclosure should be considered as to why these material accounting estimates and assumptions bear the risk of change, how you arrived at the estimate, the accuracy of the estimate/assumption in the past, how they have changed, and any reasonably likely future changes. We refer you to Section V of SEC Release No. 33-8350, Commission Guidance Regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditi on and Results of Operations. Results of Operations, page 25 6. We note instances where two or more sour ces of a material change have been identified, but the quantification of the amount that each source contributed to the change is not disclosed. As an example, your disclosure on page 25 indicates that the $30.3 million increase in revenues duri ng fiscal 2007 was driven largely by the ACS Acquisition, VPF revenues, license fees earned for your TCC software and the Bigger Picture Acquisition offset by revenues from your IDCs. As another example, your disclosure on page 27 indicates that the $4.4 million increase in direct operating costs during fiscal 2008 was due to the acquisition of ACS, minimum guaranteed obligations unde r the theatre advertising agreements with exhibitors for displaying cinema adverting, the acquisition of The Bigger Picture and the IDC disposition. Tell us your consideration of quantifying each source that contributed to a material ch ange pursuant to the requirements of the related interpretive guidance in Section III. D of SEC Release 33-6835 Interpretation: Management’s Discussi on and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when preparing your MD&A discussion. Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 28 7. Your discussion of cash used in opera ting activities appears to be a mere recitation of changes and other information evident from the financial statements. Your disclosures should focus on the primar y drivers of and other material factors necessary to provide an unde rstanding of your cash flow s and the indicative value of historical cash flows. In addition, where there has b een material variability in historical cash flows, your discussion should focus on the underlying reasons for the changes, as well as on their reasonably likely impact on future cash flows. A. Dale Mayo Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. August 6, 2008 Page 4 Tell us what consideration you gave to providing the disclosure in accordance with the related interpretive guidance in to Section IV.B of SEC Release No. 33- 8350.

You disclose that in May 2008, the comp any “filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register an additional 50 0,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for future interest payments on the 2007 Senior Notes.” Please revise this disclosure to clarify that the registration statement was for the resale of the 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock by certain selling sh areholders and not an issuance by the company. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, page 32 9. Please provide the quantitative disclosure re garding the interest rate risk that you disclose as required by Item 305(a) of Regulation S-K or tell us why disclosure is not warranted.

You
currently have several outstanding effective registration
statements. In the interest of simplified disclosure, please
consider the application of Securities Act Rule 429. You may
wish to rely upon this rule by filing an amendment that contains a single
prospectus relating to the shares in this offering and in your other
outstanding offerings. Absent the use of Rule 429, please
revise the cover page of the registration statement to reference concisely
your concurrent offerings.
ANSWER:
The
Company does not wish to combine prospectuses under Rule 429 at this time and
will make appropriate disclosure in the registration statement.

Page

Use
of the term “kicker shares” on the cover page and in the summary is
inconsistent with Rule 421(d), which requires that registrations avoid the
use of legal jargon in the forepart of the prospectus. Either
provide a brief definition of the term on the cover page and in the
summary of the prospectus or delete the
term.
ANSWER:
The
Company will add a brief definition of the term “Kicker Shares” on the cover
page and in the summary of the prospectus. The definition will be as
follows:
“Kicker
Shares” are shares of AccessIT’s Class A Common Stock that are payable to the
holders of the 2007 Senior Notes under the terms of the 2007 Senior Notes, in
addition to interest at the annual rate of 10% (which may be paid, at the
Company’s option, in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock), calculated as set
forth in the 2007 Senior Notes.

Please
tell us whether any of the selling stockholders that are legal entities
are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers. If any
selling stockholders are registered broker-dealers who acquired their
shares as investments, rather than as transaction-based compensation for
the performance of investment banking or similar services, they should be
named as underwriters. With respect to any affiliates of
registered broker-dealers, expand the prospectus to indicate whether they
acquired the securities to be resold in the ordinary course of
business. Also indicate whether at the time of the acquisition
they had any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any other
persons, either directly or indirectly, to dispose of the
securities.

ANSWER:
Two
holders, Silver Oak Capital, L.L.C. and Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., are
affiliates of registered broker-dealers by virtue of being under common control
with them. No broker-dealer was involved in the purchase of the
relevant shares of Class A Common Stock, and no broker-dealer will be involved
in the sale of such shares. Silver Oak Capital, L.L.C. and Goldman
Sachs Credit Partners L.P. purchased such shares in the ordinary course of their
businesses, and neither is a party to any agreement or other understanding to
distribute the shares, directly or indirectly. Such disclosure will be added to
the Registration Statement.

definition
that you recite in this section. In future filings, please tie
the effectiveness conclusion to the definition of disclosure controls and
procedures set out in Rule 13a-15(e), or recite the entire
definition.
ANSWER:
The
evaluation of effectiveness was conducted with respect to the complete
definition and the Company will recite the entire definition in future
filings as follows:
As
of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
We hope this addresses all of the
Commission’s comments and concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact
us with any further questions.
Sincerely,
/s/ Carol W. Sherman

Where indicated, we think you should revise your filings in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filings. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. A. Dale Mayo Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. June 2, 2008 Page 2 Form S-3 General 1. You currently have several outstanding effective registration statements. In the interest of simplified disclosure, please consider the application of Securities Act Rule 429. You may wish to rely upon this rule by filing an amendment that contains a single prospectus relating to the shares in this offering and in your other outstanding offerings. Absent the use of Rule 429, please revise the cover page of the registration statement to reference concisely your concurrent offerings. Cover Page 2. Use of the term “kicker shares” on the cover page and in the summary is inconsistent with Rule 421(d), which requires that registrants avoid the use of legal jargon in the forepart of the prospectus. Either provide a brief definition of the term on the cover page and in the summary of the prospectus or delete the term. Selling Stockholders, page 15 3. Please describe in materially complete terms the transactions whereby the shares to be resold by the selling shareholders were issued. Please discloses the basic terms of all such issuance transactions, including the dates the transactions took place, the material terms of the transactions, the parties who participated in the transactions and the number of shares received by them. 4. For each selling security holder that is a legal entity, please ensure that your document discloses the natural person or persons who exercise the sole or shared voting and/or dispositive powers with respect to the shares to be offered by that shareholder. Refer to Interp. I.60 of Telephone Interp. Manual (July 1997) and Interp.4S of Reg. S-K section of 3/99 Supp. to Manual. 5. Please tell us whether any of the selling stockholders that are legal entities are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers. If any selling stockholders are registered broker-dealers who acquired their shares as investments, rather than as transaction-based compensation for the performance of investment banking or similar services, they should be named as underwriters. With respect to any affiliates of registered broker-dealers, expand the prospectus to indicate whether they acquired the securities to be resold in the ordinary course of business.
