Commitments and Contingencies |
11. Commitments and Contingencies During 2015, we were involved in various legal disputes with Cinedigm Corp. and Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC (together, “Cinedigm”) in connection with our sale of GVE Newco, LLC (“GVE”) to Cinedigm. The disputes were fully settled at the end of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $0.5 million for legal costs associated with the disputes. The expenses associated with the disputes have all been included in Loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. Claimed amounts against us may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, it is reasonably possible that some legal proceedings may be disposed of or decided unfavorably to us and in excess of the amounts currently accrued. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, which are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at March 31, 2016 and can be reasonably estimated are reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
