Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP”) and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 9, 2024. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses and other comprehensive income/(loss) that are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the assumptions, judgments and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
The following is provided to update the Company’s significant accounting policies previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
As of March 31, 2024, the gross amounts of FX forwards in an asset and liability position subject to a master netting arrangement resulted in a net liability of $0.2 million recorded within Other Current Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total net change in fair value of $0.2 million and an insignificant realized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is recorded as an unrealized loss within Production Services Revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Loss
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an allowance for credit loss of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Tax Credits Receivable
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $12.0 million and $20.7 million, respectively, in current tax credit receivables related to Wow’s film and television productions were recorded, net of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, recorded as an allowance for credit loss. It is estimated that the Company will collect the receivables balance; therefore, no additional reserve was recorded.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) or the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“CDIC”) insured amounts. Balances on interest bearing deposits at banks in the United States are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per account and deposits in banks in Canada are insured by the CDIC up to CAD 100,000. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the
Company had eleven and ten bank deposit accounts with an aggregate uninsured balance of $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
The Company has a managed account with a financial institution. The managed account maintains its investments in marketable securities of approximately $9.4 million and $12.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Assets in the managed account are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $500,000 (with a limit of $250,000 for cash). In addition, the financial institution provides additional “excess of SIPC” coverage which insures up to $1.0 billion. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have account balances held at this financial institution that exceed the insured balances.
The Company’s investment portfolio consists of investment-grade securities diversified among security types, industries and issuers. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one security issue or issuer and the Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these investments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had two customers, whose total revenue exceeded 10% of the total condensed consolidated revenue. These customers accounted for 61.7% of the total revenue. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two customers whose total accounts receivable exceeded 10% of the total accounts receivable. These customers accounted for 52.8% of the total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had three customers whose total revenue exceeded 10% of the total condensed consolidated revenue. These customers accounted for 71.9% of the total revenue.
There is significant financial risk associated with a dependence upon a small number of customers. The Company periodically assesses the financial strength of these customers and establishes allowances for any anticipated credit losses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table summarizes the marketable securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands):
Level 1 Level 2 Total Fair Value
Investments in Marketable Securities:
Corporate Bonds $ 4,898  $ –  $ 4,898 
U.S. agency and government sponsored securities –  1,851  1,851 
U.S. states and municipalities –  2,633  2,633 
Total $ 4,898  $ 4,484  $ 9,382 
Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. The Company’s marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale investments as defined under FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. An allowance for credit loss was not recorded for the marketable securities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 5 for additional details.
New Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements. The new guidance clarifies or improves disclosure and presentation requirements on a variety of topics in the codification. The amendments will align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments are effective prospectively on the date each individual amendment is effectively removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is not expected to be material.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures. The amendments enhance disclosures of significant segment expenses by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), extend certain annual disclosures to interim periods, and permit more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, including adoption in any interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have to the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, which is expected to result in enhanced disclosures.
