AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 29, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AMC Entertainment® Inc. ("AMCE" or the "Company") is an intermediate holding company, which, through its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiaries, and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. ("AMCEI") and its subsidiaries (collectively with
AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States,
Canada, China (Hong Kong), France and the United Kingdom.
AMCE
is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"), which is owned by J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and certain related investment funds ("JPMP"),
Apollo Management, L.P. and certain related investment funds ("Apollo"), affiliates of Bain Capital Partners ("Bain"), The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") and Spectrum Equity Investors ("Spectrum")
(collectively the "Sponsors").
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in response to the requirements of Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. The March 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet
included in the Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature
of the Company's business, results for the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year
(52 weeks) ending March 29, 2012. The Company manages its business under one operating segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs,
(3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket revenues. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Guest Frequency Program: On April 1, 2011, the Company fully launched AMC Stubs, a
guest frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and concessions
revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred at retail value as a reduction of admissions and concessions revenues, based on member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days
from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, rewards are recognized as revenues at retail value along with associated actual cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and
recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. The program's $12 annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the
one-year membership period.

NOTE 4STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
AMCE has one share of Common Stock issued as of September 29, 2011, which is owned by Parent.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, but Parent has adopted a stock-based compensation plan. The
Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $827,000 and $728,000 within general and administrative: other during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011, and
September 30, 2010, respectively and $1,318,000 and $864,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Compensation
expense for stock options and restricted stock are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The Company's
financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation of $1,318,000 during fiscal 2012. As of September 29, 2011, there was
approximately $6,070,000 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements expected to be recognized over a weighted average
2.5 years.
2010 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan") provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, other stock-based awards or performance-based compensation awards and permits a maximum of 39,312 shares of common stock of Parent to be issued under the
Plan. As of September 29, 2011, approximately 27,234 shares were available for grant under the Plan, including 2,914 shares awarded that have not been granted. The Company accounts for stock
options using the fair value method of accounting and has elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of "plain vanilla" share option grants, as it does not have enough
historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate. The common stock value of $755 per share was based upon a contemporaneous valuation reflecting market conditions on June 22,

2011,
which was prepared by an independent third party valuation specialist, and was used to estimate grant value of 1,346 shares of restricted stock (performance vesting) granted on June 22,
2011. The third party valuation was reviewed by management and provided to our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. In determining the fair market value of our
common stock, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors considered the valuation report and other qualitative and quantitative factors that they considered
relevant.
The
award agreements, which consisted of grants of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock (time vesting), and restricted stock (performance vesting) to certain of its
employees under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, generally have the following features, subject to discretionary approval by Parent's compensation committee:
-
- Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement: Twenty-five percent of the options will vest on each
of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant; provided, however, that the options will become fully vested and exercisable if within one year following a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan), the participant's service is terminated by the Company without cause. The stock options have a ten year term from the date of grant. During the twenty-six weeks ended
September 29, 2011, there was a stock option grant for 7 shares.
-
- Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Time Vesting): The restricted shares will become vested on the fourth anniversary of the
date of grant; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's service is terminated by the Company without
cause. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011, there was a restricted stock (time vesting) grant of 7 shares.
-
- Restricted Stock Award Agreement (Performance Vesting): In fiscal 2011, the Board approved the award of 5,542 shares of
restricted stock (performance vesting), of which 1,346 shares have been granted in fiscal 2012. Approximately twenty-five percent of the total restricted shares of 5,542 approved by the
Board will be granted each year over a four-year period starting in fiscal 2011. Each grant has a vesting term of approximately one year conditioned upon the Company meeting certain
pre-established annual performance targets; provided, however, that the restricted shares will become fully vested if within one year following a Change of Control, the participant's
service is terminated by the Company without cause. The fiscal 2012 performance target was communicated on June 22, 2011 following ASC 718-10-55-95 and the
estimated grant date fair value was $1,016,000, or approximately $755 per share.
The
number of shares of stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 29, 2011 was 35,681.418 and 19,369.198, respectively, with a weighted average exercise price per
share of $449.91 and $446.71, respectively. At March 31, 2011, the number of shares of stock options outstanding was 35,684.168 with a weighted average exercise price per share of $449.93. The
number of unvested shares of restricted stock at September 29, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was 6,709 and 5,372, respectively, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $752.60 and

NOTE 5INVESTMENTS
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates and certain other investments accounted for following the equity method generally include all entities in which the Company or its
subsidiaries have significant influence, but not more than 50% voting control. Investments in non-consolidated affiliates as of September 29, 2011, include a 15.63% interest in
National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM"), a 50% interest in two U.S. theatres and one IMAX screen, a 26.22% equity interest in Movietickets.com ("MTC"), a 50% interest in Midland Empire
Partners, LLC ("MEP"), a 29% interest in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, LLC ("DCIP"), and a 50% interest in Open Road Releasing, LLC, operator of Open Road
Films, LLC ("ORF"). Indebtedness held by equity method investees is non-recourse to the Company.
RealD Inc. Common Stock
The Company holds an investment in RealD Inc. common stock, which is accounted for as an equity security, available for sale,
and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other long-term assets at fair value (Level 1). As of September 29, 2011, the amount of unrealized loss for marketable
securities, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, was approximately $15,400,000 due to the decline in fair value of the investment in RealD Inc. common stock. The Company reviewed
the unrealized loss for a possible other-than-temporary impairment and determined that the loss as of September 29, 2011 was not
other-than-temporary. Consideration was given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the length of time and extent to which the fair
value has been less than cost, and the Company's intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The
investment in RealD Inc. common stock has been in an unrealized loss position for less than three months at September 29, 2011. The impairment analysis requires significant judgment to
identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the future value of the investment. The Company will continue to monitor the fair value of its investments at
each reporting period for a possible other-than-temporary impairment.
Condensed
financial information of our non-consolidated equity method investments is shown below. Amounts are presented under U.S. GAAP for the periods of ownership by
the Company.

Equity Method Accounting for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments in NCM
On February 13, 2007, NCM, Inc., the sole manager of NCM, completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and used the net
proceeds from the IPO to purchase a 44.8% interest in NCM, paying NCM $746,100,000 and paying the Founding Members $78,500,000 for a portion of the NCM units owned by them. NCM then paid $686,300,000
of the funds received from NCM, Inc. to the Founding Members as consideration for their agreement to modify the then-existing ESA. Also in connection with the IPO, NCM used
$59,800,000 of the proceeds it received from NCM, Inc. and $709,700,000 of net proceeds from its new senior secured credit facility entered into concurrently with the completion of the IPO to
redeem $769,500,000 in NCM preferred units held by the Founding Members. The redemption distribution to the Founding Members described above related to the IPO resulted in large Members' Deficit
amounts for the Founding Members.
The
Company received approximately $259,300,000 for the redemption of all of its preferred units in NCM and approximately $26,500,000 from selling common units in NCM to NCM, Inc.
In addition, the Company received $231,300,000 as consideration for modifying the ESA.

NOTE 5INVESTMENTS (Continued)
Following
the NCM IPO, the Company will not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on the original NCM membership units (Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM's future net
earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company will recognize equity in earnings only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The
Company considers the excess distribution described above as an advance on NCM's future earnings and, accordingly, future earnings of NCM should not be recognized through the application of equity
method accounting until such time as the Company's share of NCM's future earnings, net of distributions received, exceeds the excess distribution. The Company believes that the accounting model
provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor's basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent
to recognizing an excess distribution.
The
Company has received 7,983,723 additional units in NCM subsequent to the IPO as a result of Common Unit Adjustments received from March 27, 2008 through June 14, 2010
(Tranche 2 Investments). The Company follows the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, Accounting for
Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14. Both sets of
literature indicate that
if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses.
The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the Common Unit adjustments included in its Tranche 2 Investments equates to making additional
investments in NCM. The Company has evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use its
incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. This determination was formed by considering that (i) NCM does not receive any additional funds from the
Tranche 2 Investments, (ii) both NCM and AMC record their respective increases to Members' Equity and Investment at the same amount (fair value of the units issued), (iii) the
additional investments result in additional ownership in NCM and (iv) the investments in additional common units are not subordinate to the other equity of NCM. As such, the additional common
units received would be accounted for as a Tranche 2 Investment separate from the Company's initial investment following the equity method. The Company's Tranche 2 Investments correspond
with the NCM Members' equity amounts in its capital account.

NOTE 6FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the
entity transacts. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values.
The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
|
|
|
Level 1: |
|
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2: |
|
Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |
Level 3: |
|
Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
The
following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 29, 2011:

Valuation Techniques. The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid,
and therefore
are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and
mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The unrealized gain on the mutual funds recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive
loss as of September 29, 2011 was approximately $221,000. The unrealized loss on the RealD Inc. common stock recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 29,
2011 was approximately $15,400,000. See Note 5Investments, for further information regarding RealD Inc. common stock.

Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not
recognized in the
statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value. At September 29, 2011, the carrying amount of the Company's liabilities for corporate borrowings was
approximately $2,101,547,000 and the fair value was approximately $2,010,273,000. At March 31, 2011, the carrying amount of the corporate borrowings was approximately $2,102,540,000 and the
fair value was approximately $2,212,100,000. Quoted market prices were used to value publicly held corporate borrowings. The carrying value of cash and equivalents approximates fair value because of
the short duration of those instruments.

The
accounting for income taxes requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized, using enacted tax rates, for the tax effect of temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax
bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
state tax provision was for the states that impose their income based taxes on a gross sales method, that impose a margin tax or that have suspended the use of net operating loss
carryforwards into the current tax year.
The
IRS has issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment to the Company for the 2007-2009 fiscal years related to its investment in NCM. The proposed adjustment is not expected to
materially impact the Company's financial statements and any payments of taxes and interest related to the proposed adjustment are expected to be negligible.
NOTE 9EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans generally covering all employees who, prior to the freeze,
were age 21 or older and had completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who were not covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan (medical and dental). Certain employees are eligible for subsidized
postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits is based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009.
The
Company expects to make pension contributions of approximately $967,000 per quarter for a total of approximately $3,868,000 during fiscal 2012.

NOTE 11COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters
would not

have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.
United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99 01034 FMC (SHx), filed
in the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999, the Department of Justice (the "Department") filed suit alleging that the Company's stadium style
theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged the Company had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines-of-sight
comparable to the general public. The Department alleged various non-line-of-sight violations as well.
As
to line-of-sight matters, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department as to both liability and as to the appropriate remedy. On
December 5, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court as to the appropriate remedy and remanded the case back to the trial court for findings consistent with its
decision. The Company and the Department reached a settlement regarding the extent of betterments and remedies required for line-of-sight violations which the parties believe
are consistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision. The trial court approved the settlement on November 29, 2010. As to the non-line-of-sight aspects of the
case, on January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on matters such as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp
slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on
non-line-of-sight issues under which the Company agreed to remedy certain violations at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the
future. Currently the Company estimates that remaining betterments are required at approximately 33 stadium-style theatres. The remaining unpaid costs of these betterments are not expected to have a
material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Michael Bateman v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. CV07-00171). In January 2007, a class action complaint was filed against the
Company in the Central District of the United States District Court of California (the "District Court") alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA provides
in part that neither expiration dates nor more than the last 5 numbers of a credit or debit card may be printed on receipts given to customers. FACTA imposes significant penalties upon violators where
the violation is deemed to have been willful. Otherwise damages are limited to actual losses incurred by the card holder. On October 11, 2011, the District Court granted final approval of the
class action settlement. The settlement did not have a material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On
May 14, 2009, Harout Jarchafjian filed a similar lawsuit alleging that the Company willfully violated FACTA and seeking statutory damages, but without alleging any actual
injury (Jarchafjian v. American Multi- Cinema, Inc. (C.D. Cal. Case No. CV09-03434)). The District Court granted final approval of
the class action settlement on October 3, 2011. The settlement did not have a material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In
addition to the cases noted above, the Company is also currently a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including concession suppliers and film distributors),
landlords and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can

reasonably
be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As
additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Except as described above, management believes that
the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations.
However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to
occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.
NOTE 12NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other
(Topic 350)Testing Goodwill for Impairment, ("ASU 2011-08"). Under this amendment, an entity will have an option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether
it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill
impairment test. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for the goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and is effective for the Company in
fiscal 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or
results of operations.
In
June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Presentation of Comprehensive Income, ("ASU 2011-05"). This ASU
provides companies with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement
of comprehensive income or in two-separate but consecutive statements. Companies will be required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items
that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. This ASU will
eliminate the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for fiscal years
and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2013. The Company will include the disclosures required in
its consolidated financial statements as of the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
In
May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, ("ASU 2011-04"). This ASU will require disclosures regarding transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy,
disclosures about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that
are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial

position,
but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 will be effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011
and is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2013. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will include the disclosures required in its notes to its consolidated financial
statements, effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.
NOTE 13RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amended and Restated Fee Agreement
In connection with the merger with LCE Holdings Inc., Parent, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into an Amended and Restated Fee
Agreement, which provides for an annual management fee of $5,000,000, payable quarterly and in advance to each Sponsor, on a pro rata basis, until the earliest of (i) the twelfth anniversary
from December 23, 2004, and (ii) such time as the sponsors own less than 20% in the aggregate of Parent. In addition, the fee agreement provided for reimbursements by AMCE to the
Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses and to Parent of up to $3,500,000 for fees payable by Parent in any single fiscal year in order to maintain its corporate existence,
corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees. The Amended and Restated Fee Agreement terminated on June 11, 2007, the date of the holdco merger, and was
superseded by a substantially identical agreement entered into by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., AMCE, the Sponsors and Parents' other stockholders.
Upon
the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a
fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year
term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement
date. As of September 29, 2011, the Company estimates that this amount would be $24,368,000. The Company expects to record any lump sum payment to the Sponsors as a dividend.
The
fee agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services
provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.

Overview
We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 29,
2011, we opened one theatre with 12 screens in the U.S., permanently closed ten theatres with 57 screens in the U.S., and temporarily closed and reopened one theatre with 14 screens in the U.S. to
remodel into a dine-in theatre. As of September 29, 2011, we owned, operated or had interests in 351 theatres and 5,083 screens, with 99%, or 5,028, of our screens in the U.S. and
Canada and 1%, or 55, of our screens in China (Hong Kong), France and the United Kingdom.
Our
Theatrical Exhibition revenues and income are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre concession sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary
sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from the AMC Stubs guest frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, non-presentment income
from packaged tickets sales, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies.
Box
office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from
independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable
admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established
prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box
office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.
Technical
innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as IMAX, 3D and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets'
customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology will enhance our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities. This will enable us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium
formats, and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming.
Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We will continue to broaden our content offerings through the installation of
additional IMAX, ETX (our proprietary large screen format) and RealD systems and the presentation of attractive alternative content.
We
continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions and by disposing of older screens through
closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience,
such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and enhanced seat design. We have increased our 3D enabled screens, including ETX 3D enabled screens, by 1,531 to 2,204 screens
and our IMAX screens by 21 to 118 screens since September 30, 2010; and as of September 29, 2011, approximately 45.7% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX 3D enabled
screens, and approximately 2.3% of our screens were IMAX 3D enabled screens. We are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world with a 45% market share in the United States and nearly twice the screen
count of the second largest U.S. IMAX exhibitor, and each of our IMAX local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity.
Concessions
sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different
varieties of concession items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in that particular geographic region.
32
Table of Contents
Our
strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing concessions counters designed for rapid service and efficiency including a guest friendly self-serve and grab and go experience. We design
our theatres to have more concessions capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large concessions stands within theatres increases their visibility, aids
in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the concessions stands. To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of
premium food and beverage products to include made-to-order meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, alcohol and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of
enhanced food and beverage formats, from simple, less capital-intensive concession design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options to rejuvenate theatres approaching
the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres, to more efficiently leverage their additional capacity. The costs of these conversions in some cases
are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We have successfully implemented our dine-in theatre concepts at 9 locations, which feature full kitchen facilities,
seat-side servers and a separate bar and lounge area. We plan to continue to invest in one or more enhanced food and beverage offerings across 125 to 150 theatres over the next three
years.
Our
revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar
year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of
operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
On
May 24, 2010, we completed the acquisition of 92 theatres and 928 screens from Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC ("Kerasotes"). The acquisition of Kerasotes
significantly increased our size. Accordingly, results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 are not comparable to our results for the
twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, which include approximately 18 weeks of operations of the theatres we acquired.
On
April 1, 2011, the Company fully launched AMC Stubs, a guest frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future
purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and concessions revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and concessions revenues, based on member
redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards
not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. The program's $12 annual membership fee is deferred, net of
estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.
Since
launching AMC Stubs during the current fiscal year we have experienced an initial increase in membership which has resulted in more rewards earned than redeemed. As a result of
launching AMC Stubs, our admissions and concessions revenues have been reduced during the current fiscal year,

and
because the program is new there was no similar impact in the prior fiscal year. The following table reflects AMC Stubs activity during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
September 29, 2011:

During
fiscal 2011, films licensed from our six largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 81% of our U.S. and Canada admissions revenues. Our revenues
attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's films in any given year.
During
the period from 1990 to 2010, the annual number of first-run films released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 634 in
2008, according
to Motion Picture Association of America 2010 MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics. The number of digital 3D films released annually increased to a high of 25 in 2010 from a low of 0 during this same
time period.
On
December 15, 2010, we completed the offering of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the "Notes due 2020"). Concurrently
with the initial
34
Table of Contents
Notes
due 2020 offering, we launched a cash tender offer and consent solicitation and redeemed the then outstanding $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2016 ("Notes due 2016") during fiscal 2011. Also, on December 15, 2010, we entered into a third amendment to our Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 to, among
other things: (i) extend the maturity of the term loans held by accepting lenders of $476,597,000 aggregate principal amount of term loans from January 26, 2013 to December 15,
2016 and to increase the interest rate with respect to such term loans, (ii) replace our existing revolving credit facility with a new five-year revolving credit facility (with
higher interest rates and a longer maturity than the existing revolving credit facility), and (iii) amend certain of our existing covenants therein. Primarily as a result of these transactions,
our interest expense increased $14,255,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010.
As
of September 29, 2011, the amount of unrealized loss for marketable securities, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, was approximately $15,400,000 due to the
decline in fair value of the investment in RealD Inc. common stock. We reviewed the unrealized loss for a possible other-than-temporary impairment and determined that
the loss as of September 29, 2011 was not other-than-temporary. Consideration was given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the
length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in market value. The investment in RealD Inc. common stock has been in an unrealized loss position for less than three months at September 29, 2011. The impairment
analysis requires significant judgment to identify events or circumstances that would likely have a significant adverse effect on the future value of the investment. We will continue to monitor the
fair value of our investments at each reporting period for a possible other-than-temporary impairment; should the fair value of the RealD Inc. common stock continue to
remain below cost for a prolonged period of time, we may record an impairment charge in the income statement in future periods.

(ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact

of
certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. These further adjustments
are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in
the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our
future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

represent preopening expense, theatre and other closure expense, deferred digital equipment rent expense, and disposition of assets and other gains
included in operating expenses.
- (2)
- Effective
July 1, 2011, cash distributions from non-consolidated entities were included in our Adjusted EBITDA presentation with
conforming reclassification made for the current and prior year presentation. The presentation reclassification reflects how our management evaluates our Adjusted EBITDA performance and is consistent
with treatment in our various debt covenant calculations.
- (3)
- Other
expense for fiscal 2012 is comprised of expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2016 of $54,000 and expenses related to the modification of the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $310,000.
- (4)
- The
acquisition of Kerasotes contributed approximately $20,100,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 in Adjusted
EBITDA compared to $17,600,000 during the eighteen week period of May 24, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
Adjusted
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures
37
Table of Contents
reported
by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our
value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
Adjusted
EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under
U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
-
- does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
-
- does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
-
- does not reflect the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal
payments, on our debt;
-
- excludes income tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;

Thirteen Weeks Ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Revenues. Total revenues increased 4.6%, or $29,798,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the
thirteen weeks
ended September 30, 2010. Admissions revenues increased 3.7%, or $16,932,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30,
2010, primarily due to a 4.9% increase in average ticket prices, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in attendance. Total admissions revenues were reduced by deferrals, net of rewards redeemed of
$2,526,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs are deferred and recognized in future periods upon
redemption or expiration of guest rewards. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in attendance from 3D and IMAX film product for which we are able to charge more per
ticket than for a standard 2D film, as well as increases in 3D and IMAX ticket prices. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and
before giving effect to the net deferral of admissions revenues due to the new AMC Stubs guest frequency program) increased 4.7%, or $19,501,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29,
2011 from the comparable period last year, due to increases in average ticket prices. Concessions revenues increased 4.7%, or $8,524,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011
compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010, due to a 6.0% increase in average concessions per patron, partially offset by the decrease in attendance. The increase in concessions
per patron includes the impact of concession price and size increases placed in effect during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011, and a shift in product mix to higher priced items including
our dine-in theatres. Total concessions revenues were reduced by a net amount of $3,419,000 during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs and
deferred to be recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. Other theatre revenues increased 28.3%, or $4,342,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29,
2011 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in membership fees earned through the AMC Stubs guest frequency program, ticket fee revenues, and
advertising revenues.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 2.8%, or $17,950,000, during the thirteen weeks ended
September 29, 2011
compared to the thirteen weeks ended

September 30,
2010. Film exhibition costs increased 5.8%, or $14,061,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30,
2010 due to the increase in admissions revenues and an increase in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were
53.9% in the current period and 52.8% in the prior period. Film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues increased primarily due to the net deferral of admissions revenues of $2,526,000
during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the new AMC Stubs guest frequency program. Concession costs increased 7.6%, or $1,801,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011
compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in concession revenues and the increase in concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues. As a percentage
of concessions revenues, concession costs were 13.6% in the current period compared with 13.2% in the prior period, primarily due to the net deferral of concession revenues of $3,419,000 during the
second quarter of fiscal 2012 related to the new AMC Stubs guest frequency program. As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 27.6% in the current period as compared to 26.6% in the prior
period, primarily due to increases in repairs and maintenance, theatre salaries, advertising, and theatre and other closure expense. The increase in repairs and maintenance expense was due to
increases in the number of digital projection systems. Rent expense decreased 2.6%, or $3,182,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the thirteen weeks ended
September 30, 2010, primarily due to decreases in rent due to the closure of screens.
General and Administrative Expense:
Merger, Acquisition and Transaction Costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs decreased $4,495,000 during the thirteen weeks
ended
September 29, 2011 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010. Prior year costs primarily consisted of costs related to the acquisition of Kerasotes.
Management Fees. Management fees were unchanged during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011. Management fees of $1,250,000
are paid
quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.
Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased 23.3%, or $4,186,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011
compared to
the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010 due primarily to decreases related to a union-sponsored pension plan and decreases in professional and consulting expenses. During the thirteen weeks
ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $2,661,000 of expense related to our complete withdrawal from a union-sponsored pension plan.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 1.9%, or $1,002,000, compared to the prior period resulting from
the declining
net book value of theatre assets.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense (income) includes $9,456,000 and $7,614,000 of income related to the derecognition of gift card
liabilities
during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, as to which we believe future redemption to be remote.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 21.3%, or $7,308,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to
the thirteen
weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in indebtedness and related interest expense due to the $600,000,000 issuance of our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the
"Notes due 2020") on December 15, 2010 and the increases in interest expense related to the modification of our Senior Secured Credit Facility on December 15, 2010, partially offset by
the extinguishment of $325,000,000 of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 redeemed with payments made on December 15, 2010 and February 1, 2011.

Earnings from Discontinued Operations, Net. On December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493
screens. The
results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

September 30, 2010, respectively. Net loss during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 was impacted by the equity in losses of Open Road Releasing, LLC of $11,065,000, the
increased interest expense of $7,308,000, and the reduced admissions and concessions revenues of $5,945,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2011 related to the new AMC Stubs guest
frequency program. Net earnings during the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2010 were positively impacted by a gain on sale of NCM, Inc. shares of $64,648,000 and negatively impacted
by increased merger and acquisition costs of approximately $5,176,000, primarily due to the acquisition of Kerasotes.
Twenty-six Weeks Ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010
Revenues. Total revenues increased 6.1%, or $78,982,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the
twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010. The increase in total revenues included $39,400,000 resulting from the acquisition of Kerasotes. Admissions revenues increased 5.1%, or
$46,425,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to a 3.5% increase in
average ticket prices and a 1.5% increase in attendance. The increase in total admissions revenues included the additional attendance and admissions revenues resulting from the acquisition of
Kerasotes of approximately $26,500,000. Total admissions revenues were reduced by deferrals, net of rewards redeemed of $5,444,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29,
2011, related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. The increase
in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in attendance from 3D film product for which we are able to charge more per ticket than for a standard 2D film, as well as increases in 3D and
2D ticket prices. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before fiscal 2011 and before giving effect to the net deferral of admissions revenues due to the new AMC Stubs
guest frequency program) increased

Table of Contents
4.1%,
or $33,690,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 from the comparable period last year, primarily due to increases in average ticket prices. Concessions
revenues increased 7.1%, or $25,129,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, due to a
5.6% increase in average concessions per patron and the increase in attendance. The increase in concession revenues included approximately $12,400,000 resulting from the acquisition of Kerasotes. The
increase in concessions per patron includes the impact of concession price and size increases placed in effect during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011, and a shift in product mix to higher
priced items, including our dine-in theatres. Total concessions revenues were reduced by a net amount of $8,094,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011,
related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs and deferred to be recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. Other theatre revenues increased 23.4%, or $7,428,000,
during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in membership fees
earned through the AMC Stubs guest frequency program, non-presentment income from package ticket sales, and advertising revenues. The increases in other theatre revenues included
approximately $500,000 resulting from the acquisition of Kerasotes.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 6.4%, or $78,344,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended
September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010. The increase in operating costs and expenses included approximately $33,900,000 resulting from
the acquisition of Kerasotes. Film exhibition costs increased 7.2%, or $34,453,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks
ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in admissions revenues and an increase in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film
exhibition costs were 54.1% in the current period and 53.0% in the prior period. Film exhibition costs as a percentage of admissions revenues increased primarily due to the net
deferral of admissions revenues of $5,444,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011, related to the new AMC Stubs guest frequency program. Concession costs increased
17.1%, or $7,561,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010 due to the increase in
concession revenues and the increase in concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 13.6% in the current period compared
with 12.5% in the prior period, primarily due to the concession price and size increases, a shift in product mix to items that generate higher sales but lower percentage margins, and the net deferral
of concessions revenues of $8,094,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011, related to the new AMC Stubs guest frequency program. As a percentage of revenues,
operating expense was 26.8% in the current period as compared to 24.8% in the prior period. Gains were recorded on disposition of assets during the twenty-six weeks ended
September 30, 2010 which reduced operating expenses by approximately $9,983,000, primarily due to the sale of a divested AMC theatre in conjunction with the acquisition of Kerasotes. Rent
expense decreased 0.2%, or $479,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due
to decreases in rent due to the closure of screens, partially offset by increased rent as a result of the acquisition of Kerasotes on May 24, 2010.
General and Administrative Expense:
Merger, Acquisition and Transaction Costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs decreased $9,639,000 during the twenty-six weeks
ended September 29, 2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010. Prior year costs primarily consisted of costs related to the acquisition of Kerasotes.

Management Fees. Management fees were unchanged during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011. Management fees of
$1,250,000 are paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.
Other. Other general and administrative expense decreased 9.0%, or $2,807,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29,
2011 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to decreases related to a union-sponsored pension plan and decreases in professional and consulting
expenses and legal fees, partially offset by increases in salaries and payroll tax expense and expected annual incentive compensation expense. During the twenty-six weeks ended
September 30, 2010, we recorded $2,661,000 of expense related to our complete withdrawal from a union-sponsored pension plan.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 2.2%, or $2,213,000, compared to the prior period. Increases in
depreciation
and amortization expense during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 are the result of increased net book value of theatre assets primarily due to the acquisition of
Kerasotes, which contributed an increase of $6,600,000 of depreciation expense, partially offset by decreases resulting from the declining net book value of AMC theatre assets.
Other Expense (Income). Other expense (income) includes $11,893,000 and $9,553,000 of income related to the derecognition of gift card
liabilities
during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively, as to which we believe future redemption to be remote. During fiscal 2012, other
income is partially offset by expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 of $54,000 and expenses related to the modification of
the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $310,000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 20.7%, or $14,255,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 compared
to the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in indebtedness and related interest expense due to the $600,000,000 issuance of our Notes due 2020 on
December 15, 2010 and the increases in interest expense related to the modification of our Senior Secured Credit Facility on December 15, 2010, partially offset by the extinguishment of

Earnings from Discontinued Operations, Net. On December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493
screens. The
results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Net Earnings (Loss). Net earnings (loss) were $(9,938,000) and $69,690,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and
September 30, 2010, respectively. Net loss during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 was impacted by the increased interest expense of $14,255,000, the reduced
admissions and concessions revenues of $13,538,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 related to the new AMC Stubs guest
frequency program, and the equity in losses of Open Road Releasing, LLC of $12,197,000. Net earnings during the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010 were positively
impacted by a gain on sale of NCM, Inc. shares of $64,648,000 and a gain on disposition of assets of approximately $9,983,000 and negatively impacted by merger and acquisition costs of
approximately $10,754,000, primarily due to the acquisition of Kerasotes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and theatre concessions sales. We
have an operating "float" which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues
are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film
distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such
periods.
We
believe that cash generated from operations and existing cash and equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next
12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and our 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Notes due 2014"), 8.75% Senior
Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019"), and Notes due 2020.
Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $107,741,000 and
$24,990,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the
twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in payments on film rent payables, annual incentive compensation, current liabilities acquired from
Kerasotes, and increases in deferred revenues related to AMC Stubs. We had working capital deficit as of September 29, 2011 and March 31, 2011 of $23,556,000 and $39,596,000,
respectively. Working capital includes $147,840,000 and $141,237,000 of deferred revenues and income as of September 29, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in deferred
revenues as of September 29, 2011 is primarily due to increases in AMC Stubs deferred revenues of $23,249,000 as the level of awards granted have exceeded redemptions and expirations during
this period in which membership has increased. We have the ability to borrow against our credit facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness
in our various debt instruments) and could incur indebtedness of $181,993,000 on our Credit Facility to meet these obligations as of September 29, 2011.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $76,690,000 and $169,151,000,
during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of
43
Table of Contents
$56,508,000
and $46,711,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of
maintaining our theatre circuit, technology upgrades, strategic growth initiatives and remodels. We expect that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $140,000,000 to
$150,000,000 for fiscal 2012.
We
made partnership investments in non-consolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of approximately $21,699,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended
September 29, 2011.
During
the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, we paid $280,606,000 for the purchase of Kerasotes theatres at closing, net of cash acquired. The purchase
included working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the Unit Purchase Agreement.
During
the twenty-six weeks ended September 30, 2010, we received net proceeds of $102,224,000 from the sale of 6,655,193 shares of common stock of NCM, Inc.
for $16.00 per share.
We
received $55,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of certain theatres required to be divested in connection with the Kerasotes acquisition during the twenty-six weeks
ended September 30, 2010 and received $991,000 for the sale of real estate acquired from Kerasotes.
We
fund the costs of constructing new theatres using existing cash balances; cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to
long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real
estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were $8,273,000 and $24,125,000
during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. Financing activities consist of construction payables, deferred financing costs,
and principal payments under the Term Loan and capital and financial lease obligations.
Reference
is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for certain information about our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our Notes due 2014, our Notes due 2019, our Notes due
2020, and for certain information about our Parent's Term Loan Facility.
The
indentures relating to our notes (Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020) and the Parent Term Loan Facility allow us to incur specified permitted indebtedness (as defined
therein) without restriction, including borrowings under the revolving portion of our Senior Secured Credit Facility. The indentures and the Parent Term Loan Facility also allow us to incur any amount
of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the applicable coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the event on a pro forma basis. Under the indentures, we are limited to
$100,000,000 of new "permitted indebtedness" in addition to specified permitted indebtedness.
As
of September 29, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2014, the Notes due 2019, and
the Notes due 2020.
Investment in NCM LLC
We hold an investment in 15.63% of NCM LLC accounted for following the equity method as of September 29, 2011. The fair
market value of these shares is approximately $255,872,000 as of September 29, 2011. Because we have little tax basis in these units, the sale of all these units at
44
Table of Contents
September 29,
2011 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $404,742,000, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. Our investment in
NCM LLC is a source of liquidity for us and we expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We
have available net operating loss carryforwards which could reduce any related tax liability.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has commitments and contingencies for capital and financing leases, corporate borrowings, operating leases, capital related
betterments and pension funding that were summarized in a table in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011. Since March 31, 2011 there have been no
material changes to the commitments and contingencies of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 12New Accounting Pronouncements to these condensed consolidated financial statements for further
information regarding recently issued accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. We maintain a Senior Secured Credit Facility, comprised of a $192,500,000 revolving
credit facility and a $650,000,000 term loan facility, which permits borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. Increases in market interest
rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted
average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. We had no borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of September 29, 2011 and had
$614,250,000 outstanding under the term loan facility on September 29, 2011. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior
Secured Credit Facility by $3,075,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011.
Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in current maturities and long-term corporate borrowings are
principal amounts of $300,000,000 of our Notes due 2014, $600,000,000 of our Notes due 2019, and $600,000,000 of our Notes due 2020. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease
in the fair value of the Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020 and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the Notes due 2014, Notes due
2019, and Notes due 2020.
Foreign currency exchange rates. We currently operate theatres in Canada, France and the United Kingdom. As a result of these
operations, we have
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes a decrease in the carrying values of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in such foreign currencies and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes an increase in the carrying values of these
items. The increases and decreases in assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also impact the
comparability of earnings in these countries on a year-to-year basis. As the U.S. dollar strengthens, comparative translated earnings decrease, and as the U.S. dollar weakens,
comparative translated earnings from foreign operations increase. A 10%

increase
in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would increase earnings before income taxes by approximately $288,000 for the
twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2011 and decrease accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $9,595,000 as of September 29, 2011. A 10% decrease in the value
of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would decrease earnings before income taxes by approximately $94,000 for the twenty-six
weeks ended September 29, 2011 and increase accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $11,727,000 as of September 29, 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
- (a)
- Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures.
The
Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
- (b)
- Changes
in internal controls.
There
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
