NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Reservoir Media, Inc. (formerly known as Roth CH Acquisition II Co. ("ROCC")), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is an independent music company based in New York City, New York and with offices in Los Angeles, Nashville, Toronto, London and Abu Dhabi.

On July 28, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), ROCC consummated the acquisition of Reservoir Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RHI"), pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 14, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among ROCC, Roth CH II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCC ("Merger Sub"), and RHI. On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into RHI, with RHI surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCC (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, "Roth CH Acquisition II Co." was renamed "Reservoir Media, Inc." effective as of the Closing Date. The common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and warrants are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") under the ticker symbols "RSVR" and "RSVRW," respectively.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with RHI determined to be the accounting acquirer and the Company as the acquired company for accounting purposes. All historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of RHI and its consolidated subsidiaries as if RHI is the predecessor to the Company. See Note 4, "Business Combination and PIPE Investment" for additional information with respect to the Business Combination and related transactions.

The Company's activities are organized into two operating segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. Operations of the Music Publishing segment involve the acquisition of interests in music catalogs from which royalties are earned as well as signing songwriters to exclusive agreements which give the Company an interest in the future delivery of songs. The publishing catalog includes ownership or control rights to more than 140,000 musical compositions that span across historic pieces, motion picture scores and current award-winning hits. Operations of the Recorded Music segment involve the acquisition of sound recording catalogs as well as the discovery and development of recording artists and the marketing, distribution, sale and licensing of the music catalog. The Recorded Music operations are primarily conducted through the Chrysalis Records platform and Tommy Boy Music, LLC ("Tommy Boy"), acquired in June 2021, and include the ownership of over 36,000 sound recordings. See Note 6, "Acquisitions" for additional information with respect to the Tommy Boy acquisition.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Government-imposed restrictions and general behavioral changes in response to the pandemic adversely affected the Company's results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. This included performance revenue generated from retail, restaurants, bars, gyms and live shows, synchronization revenue, and the release schedule of physical product. Even as government restrictions are lifted and consumer behavior starts to return to pre-pandemic norms, it is unclear for how long and to what extent the Company's operations will continue to be affected.

Although the Company has not made material changes to any estimates or judgments that impact its consolidated financial statements as a result of COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Future developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect the Company's operating results, including reductions in revenue and cash flow and could impact the Company's impairment assessments of accounts receivable or intangible assets, which may be material to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including certain notes required by US GAAP on an annual reporting basis.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 or any other period.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant estimates are used for, but not limited to, determining useful lives of intangible assets, intangible asset recoverability and impairment and accrued revenue. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-03, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-03"), which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current US GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. Subsequent to ASU 2016-03, the FASB has issued several related ASUs amending the original ASU 2016-03. The updates are intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. For public entities, ASU 2016-03 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that annual reporting period. For the Company, ASU 2016-03 is effective beginning April 1, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-03 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting; particularly as it relates to the risk of cessation of LIBOR. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The discontinuation of LIBOR will impact the Senior Credit Facility as well as the Interest Rate Swaps which will be outstanding as of the effective date of the discontinuation. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it will have a material effect.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which established a new ASC Topic 842, "Leases" ("ASC 842") that introduced a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of income. The Company adopted the new standard beginning April 1, 2022 (the "effective date"), using a modified retrospective transition approach with application as of the effective date as the date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements.

The new guidance also provides several practical expedients and policies that companies may elect. The Company elected the package of practical expedients under which it did not reassess the classification of its existing leases, reevaluate whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases or reassess initial direct costs under the new guidance. Rather, the Company retained the conclusions reached for these items under ASC Topic 840, Leases. Additionally, the Company elected a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from lease components. The Company did not elect the practical expedient that permits a reassessment of lease terms for existing leases.

Upon its transition to the new guidance, the Company recognized approximately $2.1 million of operating lease liabilities and corresponding ROU assets. As the rates implicit in the Company's leases are not readily determinable, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the effective date to determine the present value of lease payments. This rate is based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments. The adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on the amount or timing of the Company's cash flows or liquidity.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" ("ASU 2019-12"). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on April 1, 2022 and this adoption did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or the Company's disclosures.

​

NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND PIPE INVESTMENT

As discussed in Note 1, "Description of Business," on the Closing Date, the Company consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP, primarily because former shareholders of RHI continue to control the Company upon closing of the Business Combination. Under this method of accounting, the Company is treated as the "acquired" company for accounting purposes and the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of RHI issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. In addition, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of RHI and its consolidated subsidiaries as if RHI is the predecessor to the Company.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of RHI (the "RHI Preferred Stock") that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of RHI (the "RHI Common Stock") at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant RHI's second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "RHI Preferred Stock Conversion"). Additionally, each share of RHI Common Stock (including the RHI Common Stock resulting from the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination was canceled and converted into the right to receive 196.06562028646 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, each option to acquire a share of RHI Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination became fully vested in accordance with the original terms of the awards and was converted into an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (each option,

​

an "RMI Exchanged Option"), with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the options and exercise price of each RMI Exchanged Option adjusted commensurately with the Exchange Ratio.

In connection with the Business Combination, ROCC entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors (the "PIPE Investors"), pursuant to which ROCC issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of ROCC (the "ROCC Common Stock") at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million (the "PIPE Investment"). ROCC consummated the PIPE Investment immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Approximately $20,900,000 of transaction fees and expenses were incurred in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, which have been accounted for as a reduction in proceeds.

A portion of the proceeds from the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment was used to pay transaction fees and expenses, and approximately $81,300,000 was used to retire the Tommy Boy Related Party Notes (as defined below) and related accrued interest, repay the secured loan outstanding in an amount of $18,250,000 and make a payment totaling $36,750,000 on the secured line of credit in connection with a refinancing of the Previous Credit Facilities. See Note 9, "Secured Line of Credit" for additional information with respect to the Company's financing arrangements.

On the Closing Date, the Company also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to adjust the number of its authorized shares of capital stock to 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

​

​

NOTE 5. REVENUE RECOGNITION

For the Company's operating segments, Music Publishing and Recorded Music, the Company accounts for a contract when it has legally enforceable rights and obligations and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company identifies the performance obligations and determines the transaction price associated with the contract. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company's customers, and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is contractually due in exchange for those services or goods. Certain of the Company's arrangements include licenses of intellectual property with consideration in the form of sales- and usage-based royalties. Royalty revenue is recognized when the subsequent sale or usage occurs using the best estimates available of the amounts that will be received by the Company. The Company recognized revenue of $1,038,536 and $82,148 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 6. ACQUISITIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly acquires publishing and recorded music catalogs, which are typically accounted for as asset acquisitions. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company completed such acquisitions totaling $3,391,376 and $111,070,099, respectively, inclusive of deferred acquisition payments.

The Company did not complete any individually significant acquisition transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2022. On June 2, 2021, the Company acquired U.S. based record label and music publishing company Tommy Boy for approximately $100 million, which was the most significant acquisition transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Two members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board") were also members of Tommy Boy's board of managers and had an equity interest in both companies. The acquisition of Tommy Boy was accounted for as an asset acquisition as a result of the significant concentration of the fair value of gross assets acquired in a recorded music catalog intangible asset (weighted average useful life of 30 years).

Credit Facilities

On December 19, 2014, Reservoir Media Management, Inc. ("RMM"), a subsidiary of RHI, entered into a credit agreement (the "RMM Credit Agreement") governing RMM's secured term loan (the "Secured Loan") and secured revolving credit facility (the "Secured Line of Credit" and together with the Secured Loan, the "Credit Facilities"). The Credit Facilities were subsequently amended multiple times and were refinanced in July 2021 in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021 (the "Debt Refinancing"). On December 7, 2021, RMM entered into an amendment (the "First Amendment") to the RMM Credit Agreement. The First Amendment amended the RMM Credit Agreement to increase RMM's senior secured revolving credit facility from $248,750,000 to an aggregate amount of $350,000,000 (the "Senior Credit Facility") and modified certain covenants (discussed below).

The Senior Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 16, 2024. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% or the sum of a LIBO rate plus a margin of 2.25%. RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the Senior Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per annum. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, RHI, RMM and the other subsidiary guarantors are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the RMM Credit Agreement.

The RMM Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company, RHI, RMM and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the Company, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, must comply with financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a total leverage ratio (net of up to $20,000,000 of certain cash balances) of no greater than 7.50:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period, and (iii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of 0.475, subject to certain adjustments. If RMM does not comply with the covenants in the RMM Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior Credit Facility also includes an "accordion feature" that permits RMM to seek additional commitments in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 that would increase the Senior Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Senior Credit Facility had a borrowing capacity of $350,000,000, with remaining borrowing availability of $67,354,285.

Interest Rate Swaps

At March 31, 2022, RMM had the following interest rate swaps outstanding, under which it pays a fixed rate and receives a floating interest payment from the counterparty based on LIBOR with reference to notional amounts adjusted to match the original scheduled principal repayments pursuant to the indenture agreement:

​

On March 10, 2022, two previous interest rate swaps expired with original notional amounts of $40,228,152 and $59,325,388. Through the expiration date of these previous interest rate swaps, RMM paid fixed rates of 2.812% and 2.972%, respectively, to the counterparty and received a floating interest payment from the counterparty based on LIBOR with reference to notional amounts adjusted to match the original scheduled principal repayments pursuant to the indenture agreement.

These agreements cover services such as IT support and re-billed services of staff who perform services across multiple entities. Amounts due to this shareholder and other affiliated entities totaled $0 as of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

The acquisition of Tommy Boy was financed using cash on hand and borrowings from related parties (the "Tommy Boy Related Party Notes"). The Tommy Boy Related Party Notes bore interest of 4.66% per year and were payable upon the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination and December 21, 2021. The Tommy Boy Related Party Notes and accrued interest were paid on the Closing Date. See Note 4, "Business Combination and PIPE Investment" for additional information with respect to the consummation of the Business Combination.

​

​

NOTE 13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity reflect the reverse capitalization as of the Closing Date. Because RHI was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse capitalization with ROCC, all periods prior to the Closing Date reflect the balances and activity of RHI. The consolidated balances, share activity and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated statements of equity were retroactively adjusted, where applicable, using the Exchange Ratio. See Note 1, "Description of Business" and Note 4, "Business Combination and PIPE Investment" for additional information.

RHI Preferred Stock

Prior to the Business Combination, RHI had 16,175,406 shares of RHI Preferred Stock outstanding. The RHI Preferred Stock was convertible into an equal number of shares of RHI Common Stock at the option of the preferred shareholder and was mandatorily converted into an equal number of shares of RHI Common Stock upon a qualified public offering of RHI Common Stock. Immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, each share of RHI Preferred Stock that was issued and outstanding was automatically converted into a number of shares of RHI Common Stock pursuant to the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion. See Note 4, "Business Combination and PIPE Investment" for additional information with respect to the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion.

​

While outstanding, the RHI Preferred Stock participated in dividends declared on common shares, if any, on the basis as if the shares of RHI Preferred Stock were converted into shares of RHI Common Stock. The Company did not declare any dividends subsequent to the issuance of RHI Preferred Stock through the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion.

As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had no shares of RHI Preferred Stock outstanding.

Warrants

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's outstanding warrants included 5,750,000 publicly-traded warrants (the "Public Warrants"), which were issued during ROCC's initial public offering on December 15, 2020, and 137,500 warrants sold in a private placement to ROCC's sponsor (the "Private Warrants" and together with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"), which were assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination and exchanged into warrants for shares of Common Stock. Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a registered holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the registered holders. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder's option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), and in accordance with its accounting policies, concluded they meet the criteria to be equity classified as they were determined to be indexed in the Company's stock and meet the requirements for equity classification.

NOTE 14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Incentive Plan

On July 28, 2021, in connection with the Business Combination, the Company adopted the Reservoir Media, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2021 Incentive Plan"), which became effective on such date. In addition, pursuant to terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Business Combination, options previously granted under the Reservoir Holdings, Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan") to purchase shares of RHI Common Stock were converted into options to purchase 1,494,848 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2021 Incentive Plan.

As of the effective date of the 2021 Incentive Plan, no further stock awards have been or will be granted under the Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan, and the Previous RHI 2019 Incentive Plan is no longer in effect.

Share-based compensation expense totaled $765,503 ($590,032, net of taxes) and $25,675 ($19,791, net of taxes) during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is classified as "Administration expenses" in

the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The increase in share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 reflects the restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted subsequent to the Merger.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted RSUs to satisfy previous obligations to issue a variable number of equity awards based on a fixed monetary amount. Prior to the issuance of these RSUs, the Company classified these awards as liabilities. Upon issuance of the RSU's the awards became equity-classified as they no longer met the criteria to be liability-classified and a liability of $961,429 was reclassified from accounts payable and accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 15. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

​

​

Because of their anti-dilutive effect, 5,887,500 shares of Common Stock equivalents comprised of warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Prior to the RHI Preferred Stock Conversion in connection with the Business Combination, shares of the RHI Preferred Stock were considered participating securities. The RHI Preferred Shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as they did not have an obligation to share or fund in the Company's net losses and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, because of their anti-dilutive effect, 1,494,848 shares of Common Stock equivalents comprised of stock options have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

​

NOTE 16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to the following risks related to its financial instruments:

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the Company's debtors may be unable to fulfill their financial obligations. Revenues earned from publishing and distribution companies are concentrated in the music and entertainment industry. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk on a regular basis.

​

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on its secured loan. As described in Note 9, "Secured Line of Credit," the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its Credit Facilities.

The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps was a $5,562,139 asset as of June 30, 2022 and a $3,991,802 asset as of March 31, 2022. Fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, which are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $1,570,337 was recorded as a gain on changes in fair value of derivative instruments. The change in the unrealized fair value of the swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $547,488 was recorded as a gain on changes in fair value of derivative instruments.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in fluctuations of currency rates on its revenue from royalties, writers' fees and its subsidiaries' operations.

Financial instruments not described elsewhere include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, secured loans payable and borrowing under its line of credit. The carrying values of these instruments as of June 30, 2022 do not differ materially from their respective fair values due to the immediate or short-term duration of these items or their bearing market-related rates of interest.

The fair value of amounts due from and owed to related parties are impracticable to determine due to the related party nature of such amounts and the lack of a readily determinable secondary market.

NOTE 17. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company leases its business premises under operating leases which have expiration dates between 2022 - 2027. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. Beginning April 1, 2022, the Company recognizes on the balance sheet a lease liability for its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and a corresponding ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying asset over the period of use based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the lease commencement date in accordance with ASC 842.

Certain leases contain fixed rent escalations and/or renewal options. None of the Company's operating leases include variable lease payments. Subsequent amortization of the ROU asset and accretion of the lease liability for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost, on a straight-line basis, over the lease term. Reductions of the ROU asset and the change in the lease liability are included in changes in Other assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company extended one operating lease by two months. The resulting increase to the lease liability totaled approximately $74,000, with a corresponding increase to the ROU asset.

In April 2022, the Company entered into an agreement for its new headquarter office facility consisting of 12,470 square feet of leased office space at 200 Varick Street, Suite 801A, New York, NY (the "New HQ Lease"). The New HQ Lease is expected to commence during the Company's third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. The total commitment of approximately $8.4 million will be payable monthly with escalating rental payments over the 130-month lease term.

The Company is subject to claims and contingencies in the normal course of business. To the extent the Company cannot predict the outcome of the claims and contingencies or estimate the amount of any loss that may result, no provision for any contingent liabilities has been made in the consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that losses resulting from these matters, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. All such matters which the Company concludes are probable to result in a loss and for which management can reasonably estimate the amount of such loss have been accrued for within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company's business is organized in two reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. The Company identified its Chief Executive Officer as its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's CODM evaluates financial performance of its segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is operating income before depreciation and amortization ("OIBDA").

The accounting policies of the Company's business segments are consistent with the Company's policies for the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have sales between segments.

The following tables present total revenue and reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 19. CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS

​

As previously disclosed in Note 19 to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company identified prior period accounting errors that the Company has concluded are not material to the Company's previously reported consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on management's evaluation of the accounting errors in consideration of the SEC Staff's Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 ("SAB 99") and 108 ("SAB 108") and interpretations therewith, the Company concluded the errors are not material, on an individual or aggregate basis, to the Company's previously reported annual and interim consolidated financial statements affected by the errors, which includes the Company's previously reported unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (the "previously reported financial statements"). However, the Company further concluded the accounting errors cannot be corrected as an out-of-period adjustment in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, because to do so would cause a material misstatement in those financial statements. Accordingly, the Company referred to the guidance prescribed by SAB 108 which specifies that the errors must be corrected the next time the previously reported financial statements are filed. Therefore, the Company corrected the accounting errors in all of the Company's previously reported annual and interim consolidated financial statements impacted by the errors, which includes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The following is a description of the accounting errors and their impact on the Company's previously reported financial statements:

The Company identified certain accounting errors that originated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 related to the recognition of royalty revenue associated with royalties generated from the pre-acquisition usage of intellectual property rights that the Company acquired in certain of its music catalog acquisitions for which the Company was entitled to collect pre-acquisition royalties from the sellers for a specified period prior to the closing date of these acquisitions. The Company's historical accounting practice with respect to pre-acquisition royalties was to recognize revenue upon closing of the acquisitions. Upon further review, the Company concluded that the pre-acquisition royalties should have been accounted for as reduction of the purchase price of the acquired music catalogs, as prescribed by ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues ("ASC 805-50") rather than recognized as revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606").

As part of its review, the Company further concluded that certain royalty revenue generated from pre-acquisition usage that remained uncollected at closing, as well as the related royalties due to certain artists or songwriters associated with each of the acquired music catalogs, should have been recognized as accounts receivable and royalties payable, respectively, on the closing date of the acquired music catalog based on the Company's best estimate of the uncollected royalties due to the Company and payables due to the artists or songwriters on the closing date. The Company's historical accounting practice associated with these uncollected royalties and royalties payable was to recognize the uncollected royalties as revenue under ASC 606 as they were collected after the closing date, and to recognize cost of revenue as the royalties due to the artists or songwriters when the related royalty revenue was collected. The Company also concluded that the acquired accounts receivable and royalties payable assumed on the date of closing should have been included in the purchase price allocation of the Company's acquired music catalogs, as prescribed by ASC 805-50. The financial tables below present the impact of correcting the accounting errors on the Company's previously reported financial statements.

NOTE 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

​

In July 2022, the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board ("CRB"), which is charged with setting statutory rates for mechanical royalties in the United States, issued their "Initial Ruling and Order After Remand" (the "Initial Ruling"). While specific details of how the Initial Ruling will impact the music industry have not yet been released by the CRB, it has been widely expected that the CRB will affirm an increase to the all-in headline royalty rates that it previously set for the period 2018 to 2022. Other aspects of the ruling are expected to clarify further components of the royalty calculation, such as the Total Content Cost. In connection with issuing the Initial Ruling, the Copyright Royalty Judges ordered the parties to respond in writing to their adversary's Submission of Regulatory Provisions. Once this regulatory process is concluded, the CRB will issue a Final Determination, which will include the language of the new federal regulations, including the compulsory rates and terms.

For much of the period between 2018 and 2022, most digital service providers ("DSPs") have accounted and submitted payment to the Company using the applicable 2017 rate while the remand process takes place. Once the Initial Ruling is formalized into a Final Determination and added to the Federal Register, and if the increased royalty rates are upheld, the DSPs will be required to make retroactive adjustments to apply the final rate structure to the period between 2018 and 2022. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has not recognized an estimate of any effects potentially arising from the Initial Ruling. The Company will continue to evaluate information issued by the CRB and factor this information into its estimates of revenues and cost of revenues in future periods.

Introduction

We are a holding company that conducts substantially all of our business operations through Reservoir Media Management, Inc. ("RMM") and RMM's subsidiaries. Our activities are generally organized into two operating segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. Operations of the Music Publishing segment involve the acquisition of interests in music catalogs from which royalties are earned as well as signing songwriters to exclusive agreements, which gives us an interest in the future delivery of songs. Operations of the Recorded Music segment involve the acquisition of sound recording catalogs as well as the discovery and development of recording artists and the marketing, distribution, sale and licensing of the music catalogs.

This management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is organized as follows:

21

Table of Contents

Business Overview

We are an independent music company operating in music publishing and recorded music. We represent over 140,000 copyrights in our publishing business and over 36,000 master recordings in our recorded music business. Both of our business areas are populated with hit songs dating back to the early 1900s representing an array of artists across genre and geography. Consistent with how we classify and operate our business, our company is organized in two operating and reportable segments: Music Publishing and Recorded Music. A brief description of each segment's operations is presented below.

Music Publishing Segment

Music Publishing is an intellectual property business focused on generating revenue from uses of the musical composition itself. In return for promoting, placing, marketing and administering the creative output of a songwriter or engaging in those activities for other rightsholders, our Music Publishing business garners a share of the revenues generated from use of the musical compositions.

The operations of our Music Publishing business are conducted principally through RMM, our global music publishing company headquartered in New York City, with operations in multiple countries through various subsidiaries, affiliates and non-affiliated licensees and sub-publishers. We own or control rights to more than 140,000 musical compositions, including numerous pop hits, American standards, folk songs and motion picture and theatrical compositions. Assembled over many years, our current award-winning active songwriters exceed 100, while the catalog includes over 5,000 clients representing a diverse range of genres, including pop, rock, jazz, classical, country, R&B, hip-hop, rap, reggae, Latin, folk, blues, symphonic, soul, Broadway, techno, alternative and gospel.

Music Publishing revenues are derived from five main sources:

The principal costs associated with our Music Publishing business are as follows:

Table of Contents

Recorded Music Segment

Our Recorded Music business consists of three primary areas of sound recording ownership. First is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and licensing of newly created frontline sound recordings from Current Artists that we own and control. This is a new area of focus for us and does not yet produce significant revenue. The second is the active marketing, promotion, distribution, sale and license of previously recorded and subsequently acquired Catalog recordings. The third is acquisition of full or partial interests in existing record labels, sound recording catalogs or income rights to a royalty stream associated with an established recording artist or producer contract in connection with existing sound recordings. Acquisition of these income participation interests are typically in connection with recordings that are owned, controlled, and marketed by other record labels.

Our Current Artist and Catalog recorded music businesses are both primarily handled by our Chrysalis Records label based in London and our Tommy Boy record label based in New York City. In the United States, we also manage some select Catalog recorded music under our Philly Groove Records and Reservoir Records labels. We also own income participation interests in recordings by The Isley Brothers, The Commodores, Wisin and Yandel, Alabama and Travis Tritt, and an interest in the Loud Records catalog containing recordings by the Wu-Tang Clan. Our core Catalog includes recordings under the Chrysalis Records label by artists such as Sinéad O'Connor, The Specials, Generation X and The Waterboys, as well as recordings under the Tommy Boy record label by artists such as De La Soul, Coolio, House of Pain, Naughty By Nature, and Queen Latifah.

Our Current Artist and Catalog recorded music distribution is handled by a network of distribution partners. Chrysalis Records current artist releases are distributed through PIAS while our Chrysalis Records and Tommy Boy catalogs are distributed via our membership with MERLIN, AMPED and other partners.

Through our distribution network, our music is being sold in physical retail outlets as well as in physical form to online physical retailers, such as amazon.com, and distributed in digital form to an expanding universe of digital partners, including streaming services such as Amazon, Apple, Deezer, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and YouTube, radio services such as iHeart Radio and SiriusXM, and download services. We also license music digitally to fitness platforms such as Apple Fitness+, Equinox, Hydrow and Peloton and social media outlets, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snap.

Recorded Music revenues are derived from four main sources:

The principal costs associated with our Recorded Music business are as follows:

Business Combination

On July 28, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), we consummated the previously announced business combination (the "BusinessCombination") by and among Roth CH Acquisition II Co., a Delaware corporation ("ROCC"), Roth CH II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCC ("Merger Sub") and Reservoir Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("RHI"). On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into RHI, with RHI surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROCC (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, "Roth CH Acquisition II Co." was renamed "Reservoir Media, Inc." effective as of the Closing Date. Our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock") and warrants are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") under the ticker symbols "RSVR" and "RSVRW," respectively.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse capitalization. Under this method of accounting, ROCC was treated as the "acquired" company for accounting purposes, and the Business Combination was accounted as the equivalent of RHI issuing stock for the net assets of ROCC, accompanied by a recapitalization. RHI is deemed to be the accounting predecessor of the combined business and the successor SEC registrant, meaning that RHI's financial statements for periods prior to the closing date are disclosed in periodic reports filed with the SEC. See Note 4, "Business Combination and PIPE Investment" to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information with respect to the Business Combination and related transactions.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In January 2020, a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. The global pandemic and governmental responses thereto have disrupted physical and manufacturing supply chains and required the closures of physical retailers. Additionally, stay-at-home orders, limited indoor and outdoor gatherings and other restrictions have negatively affected our business in other ways, such as, making it impossible to hold live concert tours, delaying the release of new recordings and disrupting the production and release of motion pictures and television programs. However, the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic may have accelerated growth of other revenue streams such as fitness and interactive gaming (including augmented reality and virtual reality).

Factors Affecting Results of Operations and Comparability

Throughout our history, we have constantly acquired new assets and subsidiaries and signed new writers and more recently new recording artists. These investing activities have had the largest impact on our growth over time. We have also invested in our operations to create a platform for the Music Publishing and Recorded Music segments to scale and grow. We did not complete any individually significant acquisition transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2022. On June 2, 2021, we acquired, through a membership interest purchase agreement, Tommy Boy Music, LLC ("Tommy Boy"), a 40-year-old record label, which included a diverse catalog of primarily recorded music rights and some music publishing rights.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). However, this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist readers in understanding our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures either exclude or include amounts that are not reflected in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, we have provided the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, a reconciliation to GAAP measures and a discussion of the reasons why management believes this information is useful to it and may be useful to investors.
