Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash or cash equivalents.
Film Costs
In accordance with ASC 926, Entertainment-Films, the Company reports production costs incurred as a separate asset on its condensed consolidated balance sheets ("Film costs"). Production costs include all direct negative costs incurred in the physical production of a film, such as compensation of cast and rental facilities on location, as well as allocations of production overhead and capitalized interest (if any). Further, costs incurred related to significant changes to a film  are added to production costs and subsequently charged to expense when the Company recognizes the related revenue.
Amortization of Production Costs
As the Company's films are monetized on their own, the Company amortizes production costs using the individual-film-forecast-computation method. Pursuant to that method, unamortized production costs as of the beginning of the current fiscal year are multiplied by the individual-film-forecast-computation method fraction. To that extent, the Company will begin amortization of capitalized production costs when a film is released, and it begins to recognize revenue from that film. The Company will review and revise its estimate of ultimate revenue as of each reporting date to reflect the most currently available information. Changes to the estimate of ultimate revenue, if any, are accounted for prospectively. Amortization of production costs is presented as production cost amortization on the face of our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of Capitalized Production Costs
The Company will test its unamortized production costs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film may be less than its unamortized costs. If the Company determines that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized production costs, then the unamortized capitalized costs for the film will be written down by the amount exceeding the film’s fair value. The unit of account for impairment testing is the individual film being produced and the fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique.
Recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with the core principle outlined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Specifically, “to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those
