How We Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
Content Amortization
As disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements “Organization and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies", the Company acquires, licenses and produces content, including original programming
("Content"). The Company amortizes Content based on factors including historical and estimated viewing
patterns.
Auditing the amortization of the Company's Content is complex and subjective due to the judgmental nature of
amortization which is based on an estimate of future viewing patterns. Estimated viewing patterns are based on
historical and forecasted viewing. If actual viewing patterns differ from these estimates, the pattern and/or period
of amortization would be changed and could affect the timing of recognition of content amortization.
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the
content amortization process. For example, we tested controls over management's review of the content
amortization method and the significant assumptions, including the historical and forecasted viewing hour
consumption, used to develop estimated viewing patterns. We also tested management's controls to determine
that the data used in the model was complete and accurate.
To test content amortization, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the content amortization
method, testing the significant assumptions used to develop the estimated viewing patterns and testing the
completeness and accuracy of the underlying data. For example, we assessed management's assumptions by
comparing them to current viewing trends and current operating information including comparing previous
estimates of viewing patterns to actual results. We also performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the potential
changes in the content amortization recorded that could result from changes in the assumptions.
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2012.
