AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 28, 2006
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS 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, Grupo Cinemex, S.A. de C.V. (“Cinemex”) and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. (“AMCEI”) and its subsidiaries, is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Canada (“U.S. and Canada” formerly, North American theatrical exhibition) and in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, China (Hong Kong), France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Company discontinued its operations in Japan during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition business is conducted through AMC and AMCEI. The Company’s international theatrical exhibition business is conducted primarily through Cinemex and AMCEI. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Merger with Loews on January 26, 2006.

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 (52 weeks) ended March 30, 2006. 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 28, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending March 29, 2007.

The March 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior period consolidated financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.

Assets held for Sale:   In conjunction with the Merger (see Note 2), the Company entered into a Final Judgment with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and judgments and consent decrees with various States. These judgments and decrees required the Company to hold separate and divest itself of 10 certain theatres. As a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of these theatres as held for sale. The Company sold six of these theatres during the 26 weeks ended September 28, 2006, exchanged two of these theatres with another theatrical exhibitor for two theatres from that exhibitor in different markets, retained one of the theatres pursuant to an agreement reached with the California Attorney General and will close one remaining theatre during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Company entered into an agreement to sell its consolidated operations in Spain and Portugal and as a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of these theatres as held for sale as of March 30, 2006. These sales were subsequently consummated on May 11, 2006.

Additionally, the Company has classified certain real estate as available for sale based on an active marketing program to sell the assets, which is recorded in noncurrent assets held for sale.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

On June 20, 2005, Marquee Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company of AMCE, entered into a merger agreement with LCE Holdings, Inc. (“LCE Holdings”), the parent of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation (“Loews”), pursuant to which LCE Holdings merged with and into Holdings, with

6




Holdings continuing as the holding company for the merged businesses, and Loews merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing after the merger (the “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”). The transaction closed on January 26, 2006. Upon completion of the Mergers, the stockholders of Holdings immediately prior to the Mergers, including affiliates of CCMP Capital Advisors LLC (formerly J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC) and Apollo Management, L.P., held approximately 60% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings, and the stockholders of LCE Holdings immediately prior to the Merger, including affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors (collectively with CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC and Apollo Management, L.P., the “Sponsors”), held approximately 40% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings.

The Company has accounted for the Merger as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, for an estimated purchase price of $537,171,000. Results of operations of Loews are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from January 26, 2006. The acquisition included 112 theatres with 1,308 screens in the United States, 40 theatres with 443 screens in Mexico (Cinemex), 4 managed/joint venture theatres with 55 screens in the United States and a 50% interest in Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. operating 27 theatres with 311 screens in Spain that is accounted for using the equity method. The Merger did not constitute a change in control.

The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of LCE Holdings based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors, including actuarial estimates for pension liabilities, estimates of fair value for issuance of common stock and a valuation assessment prepared by a valuation specialist:

Amounts recorded for goodwill were not subject to amortization, and were not considered deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill in the amount of $650,080,000 and $178,229,000 was recorded at the Company’s U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition operating segment and at the Cinemex reporting unit in the International operating segment, respectively. During the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of approximately $109 million to its preliminary allocation of purchase price related to property, which had the effect of reducing property and increasing goodwill. The adjustments to fair value resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets of $15 million for Cinemex. In connection with the adjustment to fair value, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to depreciation expense of $2.2 million. The preliminary allocation of purchase price and estimates of fair values may potentially change in the future as additional information becomes available.

NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On June 30, 2005, the Company sold one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Japan AMC Theatres Inc., including four of its five theatres in Japan. The Company sold its remaining Japanese theatre in

September 2005. The Company opened its first theatre in Japan during fiscal 1997 and since that time the Company had incurred pre-tax losses of $38,689,000, including a $4,998,000 impairment charge in fiscal 2003.

The operations and cash flows of the Japan theatres were eliminated from the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Japan theatres. The results of operations of the Japan theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the classification. The operations of the Japan theatres were previously reported in the Company’s International theatrical exhibition operating segment. Components of amounts reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during the prior fiscal year are presented in the following table:

NOTE 6—STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value method of accounting as prescribed by SFAS 123 (R) and SAB 107 and has valued the options using the Black-Scholes formula. The Company has recorded $848,000 and $(369,000) of stock-based compensation expense related to these options within General and Administrative:  Other and has recognized an income tax expense of $0 and $159,000 in its Consolidated Statements of Operations during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively. The Company has recorded $1,645,000 and $747,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to these options within General and Administrative: Other and has recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $0 and $299,000 in its Consolidated Statements of Operations during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively. Two of the holders of stock options have put rights associated with their options whereby they can require Holdings to repurchase their options and shares underlying the options and as such $1,225,000 and $425,000 of the Stock-based Compensation obligation is recorded in other long term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 28, 2006 and March 30, 2006, respectively.

During the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 the Company revised its preliminary estimated purchase price for the Merger by $3,500,000 which reduced additional paid-in capital and recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital of $846,000 related to stock-based compensation expense.

NOTE 8—RESTRUCTURING

The Company recognizes restructuring charges based upon the nature of the costs incurred. Costs resulting from one-time termination benefits where employees are not required to render future service to receive the benefits are recognized and a liability is recorded when management commits to a plan of termination which identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their job classifications, locations, expected termination dates and when the plan is communicated to the employees and establishes the detailed terms of the benefits to be received by employees.

If employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits, the benefits are measured at the fair value of the costs and related liabilities at the communication date and are recognized ratably over the future service period from the communication date.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a liability of $27,090,000 related to one-time termination benefits and other costs for the displacement of approximately 230 associates in connection with the Mergers as part of purchase accounting. The Company recorded an additional $4,845,000 liability related to closures of Loews’ duplicate administrative facilities in connection with the Mergers as part of purchase accounting. There were no restructuring activities or charges during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rate

(35.2

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS No. 109”), Accounting for Income Taxes, which 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. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be 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.

Based upon the consideration of all available evidence, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets recorded beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate realization of those assets in all taxing jurisdictions with the exception of Mexico.

The Company determines income tax expense for interim periods by applying SFAS No. 109 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, which prescribes the use of the full year’s estimated effective tax rate in financial statements for interim periods. As such, permanent differences such as state income taxes and changes in valuation allowance impact the Company’s effective tax rate. During the current period, income tax expense differed from the expected tax benefit using the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and the change in valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Additionally, income tax expense reflects the net expense related to the impact of the recently enacted Texas gross margins tax. The current year disposition of Portugal and Spain operations did not have a material impact on the income tax provision as the tax benefit derived from the sale was fully offset by an increase in valuation allowance. Non-deductible goodwill relates to the goodwill disposed of with the Japan theatres, which is discussed in Note 3.

NOTE 10—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan generally covering all employees age 21 or older who have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan (medical and dental) and a life insurance plan. Employees may become eligible for these benefits at retirement provided the employee is at least age 55 and has at least 15 years of credited service after age 40. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.

As a result of the Merger, the Company acquired two pension plans in the U.S. and one in Mexico. One of the U.S. plans is a frozen cash balance plan and neither of the U.S. plans have admitted new participants post-merger. The future existence of the U.S. plans will serve to pay benefits to the current participants under the requirements of the plan. In Mexico, a Seniority Premium and Termination

13




Indemnity for Retirement Plan (the “Mexico Plan”) is provided to all eligible employees of Servicios Cinematograficos Especializados, S.A. de C.V. (“SCE”) and a Termination Indemnity Retirement Plan to all eligible employees of Servino, S.A. de C.V. (“Servino”). Both SCE and Servino are wholly owned subsidiaries of Cinemex. The Mexico Plan establishes compensation upon retirement (pension and seniority premium) based on years of service rendered and the employee’s age and salary at the date of retirement.

The Company made its annual pension contribution of $1,400,000 during its second fiscal quarter of 2007.

The measurement date used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits is January 1 of the fiscal year for which measurements are made.

Net periodic benefit cost recognized for the Company’s plans during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005 consists of the following:

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS 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 AMCE’s stadium style theatres violate the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged that AMCE 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. The Department sought declaratory and injunctive relief regarding existing and future theatres with stadium style seating, compensatory damages in the approximate amount of $75,000 and a civil penalty of $110,000.

On November 20, 2002 the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Justice Department on the line of sight aspects of this case. The trial court ruled that wheelchair spaces located solely on the sloped floor portion of the stadium-style auditoriums fail to provide lines of sight comparable to the general public. The trial court did not address specific changes that might be required of AMCE’s existing stadium-style auditoriums, holding that per se rules are simply not possible because the requirements of comparable lines of sight will vary based on theatre layout.

On January 10, 2006, the trial court ruled in favor of the Department regarding the appropriate remedy in the line of sight aspects of this case. In its decision, the court issued a comprehensive order regarding line of sight and other related remedies which covers the remaining line of sight issues at the majority of the Company’s existing and all of its future construction stadium-style theatres nationwide, as well as other related forms of relief sought by the United States in this action.

AMCE estimates that the cost of the betterments related to the remedies for line of sight violations of the ADA will be $20 million, which is expected to be incurred over a 4-5 year term. Additionally, the order calls for payments of $300,000 to the United States and individual complainants. AMCE has appealed the court’s order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and both parties have filed their briefs.

As a result of the new order AMCE estimates the range of the loss to be between $349,350 and $443,938. Accordingly, AMCE has recorded the related liability at $349,350.

On January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on non-line of sight aspects of the case, which involve such matters as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. In its non-line of sight decision, the trial court concluded that AMCE has violated numerous sections of the ADA and engaged in a pattern and practice of violating the ADA.

On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line of sight issues under which AMCE agreed to remedy certain violations at twelve of its stadium-style theatres and to survey and make required betterments for its patrons with disabilities at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently AMCE estimates that these betterments will be required at approximately 140 stadium-style theatres. AMC estimates that the total cost of these betterments will be $47.5 million, which is expected to be incurred over the remaining term of the consent order of 2.5 years. Through September 28, 2006 AMCE has incurred approximately $9.3 million of these costs. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

American Multi Cinema, Inc. v. Midwest Drywall Company, Inc., Haskell Constructors, Ltd. etal. (Case No. 00CV84908, Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri) and American Multi Cinema, Inc. v. Bovis Construction Corp. et al. (Civil Action No. 0207139, Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County,

25




Pennsylvania). AMCE is the plaintiff in these and related suits in which it seeks to recover damages from the construction manager, certain fireproofing applicators and other parties to correct the defective application of certain fireproofing materials at 21 theatres. AMCE currently estimates its claim for repair costs at these theatres will aggregate approximately $33.6 million of which it has expended approximately $27.4 million through June 29, 2006. The remainder is for projected costs of repairs yet to be performed. AMCE also is seeking additional damages for lost profits, interest and legal and other expenses incurred.

AMCE has received settlement payments from various parties in connection with this matter of $7,880,000, $935,000, $2,610,000 and $925,000 during fiscal 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. AMCE has entered into settlement agreements with various parties providing for additional settlement payments and has received additional payments totaling $5,250,000 subsequent to September 28, 2006. Gain contingencies are recognized upon receipt and recorded in disposition of assets and other gains in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Metreon Arbitration.   In May 1997, Loews entered into a 21-year lease with Metreon, Inc. (“Metreon”) to operate a megaplex theatre in an entertainment/retail center developed by Metreon in San Francisco. Since that theatre opened in June 1999, Loews has had a dispute with Metreon with respect to (1) construction costs that Metreon claims are Loews’ responsibility under the lease and (2) the percentage of the center occupied by the theatre and the nature, magnitude and allocation of the costs that Metreon is seeking to include as operating expenses under the lease. The amount of operating expenses claimed by Metreon to be allocable to this theatre is based upon the landlord’s assertion that Loews occupies at least 48.5% of the center. Loews asserted that it occupied substantially less of the center and that various expenses included in operating expenses charged to Loews were improper. Loews arbitrated this dispute in June 2003 and prevailed but the award was later vacated by the California Court of Appeals. Westfield Group purchased the property in April 2006. AMCE has reached an agreement in principle with the counterparties to settle this matter.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on us.

NOTE 14—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to (1) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a defined benefit postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, (2) measure a defined benefit retirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and (3) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007, for an employer without publicly traded equity securities, or April 3, 2008 for the Company. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, or April 2, 2009 for the Company. Earlier application of the recognition or measurement date provisions is encouraged; however, early application must be for all of an employer’s benefit plans. The Company believes that as of March 30, 2006, its most recent fiscal year-end, this standard would have resulted in decreased liabilities and decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $5,365,000.

In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. It does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be

26




received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. It clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, or the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate this standard having a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifiying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for companies with fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company in its fiscal year ending March 29, 2007. However, early application is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of this guidance. The Company does not anticipate an effect on its consolidated financial statements with the adoption of SAB 108.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB agreed to issue FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event, which requires companies to consider the probability of the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employees’ control (i.e., change in control, or death or disability) in determining the classification of an employee stock option or similar instrument under FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, where the award requires or permits cash settlement upon the contingent event. The FSP requires companies to classify employee stock options and similar instruments with contingent cash settlement features as equity awards provided the contingent event that permits or requires cash settlement is not considered probable of occurring. The adoption of FSP 123 R-4 did not have an impact on consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

27




In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period. FSP 13-1 clarifies there is no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Accordingly, the Company is no longer able to capitalize rental costs during the construction period and began expensing them as preopening expense prior to the theatre opening date. This FSP was effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company early adopted this FSP during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 which results in recognition of preopening expense during the “rent holiday”.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. It also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. The Company is not currently contemplating an accounting change which would be impacted by SFAS 154.

NOTE 15—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Initial Public Offering of National CineMedia, Inc.

On October 12, 2006, National CineMedia, Inc., a newly-formed entity that will serve as the sole manager of National CineMedia, LLC, announced that it filed a registration statement with the SEC for an initial public offering, or IPO, of up to $700 million of its common stock. Net proceeds from the IPO will be used to acquire newly issued equity interests from National CineMedia, LLC and National CineMedia, LLC will distribute the net proceeds to each of AMC, Cinemark and Regal on a pro rata basis in connection with modifying payment obligations for access to our theatres. In connection with the completion of the IPO, National CineMedia, LLC also intends to enter into an approximately $725 million term loan facility the net proceeds of which will be used to redeem preferred units to be held by each of AMC, Cinemark and Regal on a pro rata basis pursuant to a recapitalization of National CineMedia, LLC prior to completion of the IPO. There can be no guarantee that National CineMedia, Inc. will complete the IPO or debt transactions or that AMC will receive any of the expected proceeds.

Pension Plan Freeze

On November 7, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a proposal to freeze the Company’s Defined Benefit Retirement Income Plan, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Retirement Enhancement Plan (the “Plans”) as of December 31, 2006. Under the proposal there would be no further benefits accrued after December 31, 2006, but continued vesting (for associates with less than five years of vesting service), the Company would continue to fund existing benefit obligations and there would be no new participants in the future. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the proposed plan freeze on its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Board of Directors also approved a proposal to increase the Company’s matching in its 401(k) savings plan to 100% of an employees contribution up to 5% of the employee’s compensation.

Overview

We are one of the world’s leading theatrical exhibition companies. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006, we sold 4 theatres in Spain with 86 screens, sold one theatre in Portugal with 20 screens, disposed of 8 theatres with 100 screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers discussed below, closed 7 theatres with 54 screens in the U.S., closed one managed theatre with 6 screens in the U.S., opened two new theatres with 33 screens in the U.S., acquired two theatres with 32 screens in the U.S., added 6 screens to an existing theatre in the U.S., opened one new theatre with 9 screens in Mexico, and disposed of one theatre in Argentina with 8 screens resulting in a circuit total of 411 theatres and 5,635 screens. As of September 28, 2006, we owned, operated or had interests in 411 theatres and 5,635 screens with 82%, or 4,628 of our screens in the U.S. and Canada, and 18%, or 1,007 of our screens in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, China (Hong Kong), France, Spain and the United Kingdom.

In connection with the Mergers as discussed below, we acquired Loews on January 26, 2006, which significantly increased our size. In the Merger, we acquired 112 theatres with 1,308 screens in the United States (included in our U.S. and Canada operating segment) and 40 theatres with 443 screens in Mexico (included in our International operating segment), that are included in our consolidated results of operations from January 26, 2006. Accordingly, results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006, which include thirteen and twenty-six weeks of operations of the businesses we acquired, are not comparable to our results for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. For additional information about the Mergers, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I Item 1. of this Report on Form 10-Q.

On March 29, 2005, we along with Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”) combined our respective cinema screen advertising businesses into a new joint venture company called National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”). The company engages in the marketing and sale of cinema advertising and promotions

29




products; business communications and training services; and the distribution of digital alternative content. We record our share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by our advertising subsidiary (NCN) and NCM in other theatre revenues. We contributed fixed assets, exhibitor agreements and goodwill (recorded in connection with the merger with Marquee) of our cinema screen advertising subsidiary NCN to NCM. Additionally, we paid termination benefits related to the displacement of certain NCN associates. In consideration of the NCN contributions described above, NCM, issued a 37% interest in its Class A units of NCN. Since that date, NCN’s interest in NCM has declined to 29% due to the entry of Cinemark as an investor.

On June 20, 2005, Marquee Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company of AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMCE”), entered into a merger agreement with LCE Holdings, Inc. (“LCE Holdings”), the parent of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation (“Loews”), pursuant to which LCE Holdings merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the holding company for the merged businesses, and Loews merged with and into AMCE, with AMCE continuing after the merger (the “Merger” and collectively, “the Mergers”). The transactions closed on January 26, 2006. Upon completion of the Mergers, the stockholders of Holdings immediately prior to the Mergers held approximately 60% of its outstanding capital stock, and the stockholders of LCE Holdings, including affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors, immediately prior to the Mergers held approximately 40% of Holding’s outstanding capital stock.

In connection with the Merger, on January 26, 2006, AMCE entered into the following financing transactions:

·       the issuance of $325,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Notes due 2016”);

·       a new senior secured credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc., Banco Nacional de México, S.A., integrante del Grupo Financiero Banamex and the lenders named therein, consisting of a $650,000,000 term loan facility and a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”);

·       the termination of the Company’s March 25, 2004 senior secured credit facility, under which no amounts were outstanding;

·       the repayment of all outstanding amounts under Loews’ senior secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments thereunder (the “Loews Facility”); and

·       the completion of a tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer”) for all $315,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Loews’ 9.0% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

The proceeds of the financing transactions were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Loews Facility, to fund the Tender Offer, to pay related fees and expenses, and to pay fees and expenses related to the Merger.

On June 30, 2005, we sold one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Japan AMC Theatres Inc., including four of our five theatres in Japan. We sold our remaining Japan theatre on September 1, 2005. The operations and cash flows of the Japan theatres were eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transactions. We do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Japan theatres. The results of operations of the Japan theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification. The operations of the Japan theatres were previously reported in our International theatrical exhibition operating segment.

We disposed of our only theatre in Hong Kong on January 5, 2006 and entered into a license agreement with the purchaser for continued use of our trademark. These operations did not meet the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations.

30




In May 2006, AMCEI and its subsidiary, AMC Entertainment International Limited sold, its interests in AMC Entertainment España S.A., which owned and operated 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain, and Actividades Multi-Cinemas E Espectáculos, LDA, which owned and operated 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal. These operations did not meet the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations because we have continuing involvement with another circuit in this region.

For financial reporting purposes we have three segments, U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition (formerly, North American theatrical exhibition), International theatrical exhibition and Other, with the most significant activity in Other related to on-screen advertising.

Our U.S. and Canada and International theatrical exhibition revenues 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, rental of theatre auditoriums, fees and other revenues generated from the sale of gift certificates and theatre tickets and arcade games located in theatre lobbies.

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license “first-run” motion pictures 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 receipts. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items include popcorn, soft drinks, candy, hot dogs and other products. We negotiate prices for our concessions products and supplies directly with concessions vendors on a national or regional basis to obtain high volume discounts or bulk rates and marketing incentives.

Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of motion picture releases by distributors. The most marketable motion pictures are usually released during the summer and the year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business can be 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.

During fiscal 2006, films licensed from our ten largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 88% 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 motion pictures in any given year.

During the period from 1990 to 2005, the annual number of first-run motion pictures released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 535 in 2005, according to Motion Picture Association 2005 MPA Market Statistics.

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 believe our introduction of the megaplex concept in 1995 has led to the current industry replacement cycle, which has accelerated the obsolescence of older, smaller theatres by setting new standards for moviegoers. From 1995 through March 30, 2006, AMC Entertainment and Loews added 191 theatres with 3,475 new screens, acquired 431 theatres with 3,007 screens and disposed of 666 theatres with 4,018 screens. As of September 28, 2006, approximately 71% of our screens in the U.S. and Canada were located in megaplex theatres.

Thirteen weeks Ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005

Revenues.   Total revenues increased 58.3%, or $232,614,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. This increase included approximately $189,655,000 of additional admission and concessions revenues resulting from the Merger.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition revenues increased 55.2%, or $208,294,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Admissions revenues increased 54.3%, or $140,314,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005, due to a 46.1% increase in total attendance, including the increased attendance and admissions revenues of $111,877,000 due to the Merger, and a 5.6% increase in average ticket prices. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the second quarter of fiscal 2006) increased 6.8% during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 over the comparable period last year, primarily due to a 3.4% increase in attendance at comparable theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to our practice of periodically reviewing ticket prices and the discounts we offer and making selective adjustments based upon such factors as general inflationary trends and conditions in local markets. Based upon available industry sources, box office revenues of our comparable theatres (including comparable theatres acquired in the Merger) performed in line with overall performance of industry comparable theatres in the markets where we operate. Concessions revenues increased 58.8%, or $59,801,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in attendance and an 8.7% increase in average concessions per patron related primarily to price increases. Concession revenues increased by $42,252,000 due to the Merger. Other theatre revenues increased 47.9%, or $8,179,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Included in other theatre revenues are our share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCN and NCM. The increase in other theatre revenues was primarily due to increases in on-screen advertising revenues as a result of the Merger.

International theatrical exhibition revenues increased $29,396,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Admissions revenues increased by $21,345,000 due to the theatres acquired in Mexico in the Merger, partially offset by a decline in admissions revenues of $9,880,000 due to the theatres we sold in Spain and Portugal. Overall, admissions revenues increased $11,845,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the

33




thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to an increase of 274.7% in total attendance, partially offset by a 47.2% decrease in average ticket price due primarily to the lower average ticket prices from the theatres acquired in Mexico. Concessions revenues increased $14,181,000 due to the theatres acquired in Mexico in the Merger, partially offset by a decline in concessions revenues of $3,177,000 due to the theatres we sold in Spain and Portugal. Overall, concession revenues increased $11,265,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in attendance and a 1.0% increase in concessions per patron. International revenues were negatively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Revenues from Other decreased 99.6%, or $5,076,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the contribution of NCN’s net assets to NCM on March 29, 2005 and the related run-off of customer contracts. The revenues of NCN during fiscal 2006 and 2007 are comprised of customer contracts entered into prior to March 29, 2005. Our share of advertising revenues generated by NCM are included in U.S. and Canada Other theatre revenues.

Costs and expenses.   Total costs and expenses increased 53.0%, or $207,030,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. The effect of the Merger was an increase in total costs and expenses of approximately $170,461,000.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased 52.7%, or $168,801,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased 51.8%, or $71,268,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 52.4% in the current period as compared with 53.3% in the prior period due to more favorable film rental terms primarily from theatres acquired in the Merger. Concession costs increased 52.2%, or $5,823,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in concessions revenues and a decrease in concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 10.5% in the current period compared with 11.0% in the prior period. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 25.8% in the current period as compared to 26.0% in the prior period. Rent expense increased 44.3%, or $32,210,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 primarily due to the Merger, which increased rent expense by approximately $25,528,000. During the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006, we recognized $5,680,000 of theatre and other closure expense due primarily to the closure of two theatres with 14 screens and to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods. During the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005, we recognized $322,000 of theatre and other closure expense related primarily to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods.

International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased $16,168,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks year ended September 29, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased $4,407,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, partially offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 43.0% in the current period as compared with 48.6% in the prior period due to the effect of more favorable film rental terms in Mexico. Concession costs increased $2,915,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in concession revenues and an increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenue from 21.8% in the prior period to 24.8% in the current period. This increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenues was due to the effect of higher concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues in

34




Mexico caused by a higher number of concession products offered for sale with lower margins. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 25.1% in the current period compared to 27.9% in the prior period. Theatre operating expense as a percentage of revenues in Mexico were 22.4% in the current period. Rent expense increased 29.5%, or $1,537,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 primarily as a result of the Merger. We continually monitor the performance of our international theatres, and factors such as changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment in international markets and our ability to sublease vacant retail space could negatively impact operating results and result in future closures, sales, dispositions and theatre closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements. International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses were negatively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Costs and expenses from Other decreased 90.0%, or $4,692,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the contribution of net assets by NCN to NCM and run-off of customer contracts.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger and acquisition costs.   Merger and acquisition costs increased $1,010,000 from $960,000 to $1,970,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Current year costs are primarily comprised of professional and consulting, repairs and maintenance to update certain of the Loews theatres and salaries costs related to the Merger and other potential divestiture activities.

Management fees.   Management fees increased $750,000 during the current period. For fiscal 2007, management fees of $1,250,000 will be paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other.   Other general and administrative expense increased 76.4%, or $6,098,000, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. We incurred expense at Cinemex of $2,513,000, incentive-based compensation increased $1,485,000 due to improvements in operating results and we experienced increases in other salaries of $782,000 primarily related to the Merger.

Restructuring Charges.   Restructuring charges were $0 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 as compared to $839,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. The prior period expenses are primarily related to one-time termination benefits and other costs related to the displacement of approximately 200 associates related to an organizational restructuring, which was completed to create a simplified organizational structure and contribution of assets by NCN to NCM.

Depreciation and Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization increased 70.3%, or $26,678,000, compared to the prior period, due primarily to increased asset values associated with fair value adjustments recorded as a result of the Merger. See Note 2—Acquisitions for discussion of the cumulative adjustment recorded during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006.

Disposition of Assets and Other Gains.   Disposition of assets and other gains were $7,047,000 in the current period compared to $103,000 in the prior period. The current and prior periods include $6,530,000 and $0, respectively, of settlements received related to fireproofing claims at various theatres (see Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies to Consolidated Financial Statements). The current period includes a gain on U.S. dispositions of theatres as required by and in connection with the Mergers of approximately $517,000.

35




Other Income.   Other income includes $5,974,000 and $4,931,000 of income related to the derecognition of stored value card liabilities where we believe future redemption to be remote, during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense increased 97.2%, or $25,363,000, primarily due to increased borrowings.

On January 26, 2006, we issued $325,000,000 of the Notes due 2016 and entered into the New Credit Facility for $850,000,000, of which $646,750,000 is currently outstanding as a variable rate term note. We also incurred interest expense related to debt held by Cinemex of $3,159,000 during the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006.

Investment Income.   Investment income was $3,184,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to income of $912,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. Interest income increased $3,071,000 from the prior period due primarily to larger amounts of cash and equivalents available for investment. Equity in losses of non-consolidated entities were $298,000 in the current period compared to $13,000 in the prior period. Current year equity in losses related to our investment in NCM and (earnings) related to Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. were $1,224,000 and ($783,000), respectively.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit).   The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $2,300,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to a benefit of $4,000,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005. See Note 9—Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net.   On June 30, 2005 we sold Japan AMC Theatres, Inc., including four theatres in Japan with 63 screens. The results of operations of these theatres are classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, on September 1, 2005 we sold the remaining Japan theatre with 16 screens and classified its operations as discontinued operations. The information presented for all fiscal 2006 reflects the new classification. See Note 3-Discontinued Operations to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the components of the loss from discontinued operations.

Net Loss.   Net loss was $10,711,000 and $10,717,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2006 and the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2005, respectively.

Twenty-six weeks Ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005

Revenues.   Total revenues increased 58.0%, or $471,022,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. This increase included approximately $385,142,000 of additional admission and concessions revenues resulting from the Merger.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition revenues increased 53.6%, or $412,639,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the tweny-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Admissions revenues increased 53.9%, or $282,789,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005, due to a 45.8% increase in total attendance, including the increased attendance and admissions revenues of $224,695,000 due to the Merger, and a 5.6% increase in average ticket prices. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of fiscal 2006) increased 6.2% during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 over the comparable period last year, primarily due to a 2.8% increase in attendance at comparable theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to our practice of periodically reviewing ticket prices and the discounts we offer and making selective adjustments based upon such factors as general inflationary trends and conditions in local markets. Based upon available industry sources, box office revenues of our comparable theatres (including comparable theatres acquired in the Merger) performed in line with overall performance of industry comparable theatres in the markets where we operate. Concessions revenues increased 55.3%, or $116,034,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended

36




September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in attendance and a 6.5% increase in average concessions per patron related primarily to price increases. Concession revenues increased by $85,470,000 due to the Merger. Other theatre revenues increased 38.4%, or $13,816,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Included in other theatre revenues are our share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCN and NCM. The increase in other theatre revenues was primarily due to increases in on-screen advertising revenues as a result of the Merger.

International theatrical exhibition revenues increased $68,900,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Admissions revenues increased by $45,190,000 due to the theatres acquired in Mexico in the Merger, partially offset by a decline in admissions revenues of $13,741,000 due to the theatres we sold in Spain and Portugal. Overall, admissions revenues increased $32,496,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to an increase of 359.5% in total attendance, partially offset by a 46.3% decrease in average ticket price due primarily to the lower average ticket prices from the theatres acquired in Mexico. Concessions revenues increased $29,787,000 due to the theatres acquired in Mexico in the Merger, partially offset by a decline in concessions revenues of $4,263,000 due to the theatres we sold in Spain and Portugal. Overall, concession revenues increased $26,035,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in attendance, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in concessions per patron. International revenues were positively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Revenues from Other decreased 99.7%, or $10,517,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the contribution of NCN’s net assets to NCM on March 29, 2005 and the related run-off of customer contracts. The revenues of NCN during fiscal 2006 and 2007 are comprised of customer contracts entered into prior to March 29, 2005. Our share of advertising revenues generated by NCM are included in U.S. and Canada Other theatre revenues.

Costs and expenses.   Total costs and expenses increased 52.3%, or $414,358,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. The effect of the Merger was an increase in total costs and expenses of approximately $345,893,000.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased 50.4%, or $326,713,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased 49.3%, or $140,439,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 52.6% in the current period as compared with 54.2% in the prior period due to more favorable film rental terms primarily from theatres acquired in the Merger. Concession costs increased 56.2%, or $12,616,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in concessions revenues and an increase in concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 10.8% in the current period compared with 10.7% in the prior period. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 24.9% in the current period as compared to 25.1% in the prior period. Rent expense increased 44.2%, or $64,544,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 primarily due to the Merger, which increased rent expense by $50,409,000. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006, we recognized $7,690,000 of theatre and other closure expense due primarily to the closure of three theatres with 22 screens and to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods. During the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005, we recognized $931,000 of

37




theatre and other closure expense related primarily to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods.

International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased $39,811,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased $13,371,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, partially offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 44.0% in the current period as compared with 48.1% in the prior period due to the effect of more favorable film rental terms in Mexico. Concession costs increased $6,663,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the increase in concession revenues and an increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenue from 18.2% in the prior period to 24.0% in the current period. This increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenues was due to the effect of higher concession costs as of percentage of concession revenues in Mexico caused by a higher number of concession products offered for sale with lower margins. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 24.5% in the current period compared to 31.7% in the prior period. Theatre operating expense as a percentage of revenues in Mexico were 22.8% in the current period. Rent expense increased 39.8%, or $4,246,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 primarily as a result of the Merger. We continually monitor the performance of our international theatres, and factors such as changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment in international markets and our ability to sublease vacant retail space could negatively impact operating results and result in future closures, sales, dispositions and theatre closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements. International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses were negatively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Costs and expenses from Other decreased 91.5%, or $10,236,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005 due to the contribution of net assets by NCN to NCM and run-off of customer contracts.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger and acquisition costs.   Merger and acquisition costs increased $3,081,000 from $2,640,000 to $5,721,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Current year costs are primarily comprised of professional and consulting, repairs and maintenance to update certain of the Loews theatres and salaries costs related to the Merger and other potential divestiture activities.

Management fees.   Management fees increased $1,500,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006. For fiscal 2007, management fees of $1,250,000 will be paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other.   Other general and administrative expense increased 63.4%, or $11,519,000, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. We incurred expense at Cinemex of $5,118,000, incentive-based compensation increased $2,283,000 due to improvements in operating results and we experienced increases in other salaries of $1,151,000 primarily related to the Merger.

Restructuring Charges.   Restructuring charges were $0 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 as compared to $3,908,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. The prior period expenses are primarily related to one-time termination benefits and other costs related to the displacement of approximately 200 associates related to an organizational restructuring, which was completed to create a simplified organizational structure and contribution of assets by NCN to NCM.

38




Depreciation and Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization increased 71.0%, or $53,608,000, compared to the prior period, due primarily to increased asset values associated with fair value adjustments recorded as a result of the Merger. See Note 2—Acquisitions for discussion of the cumulative adjustment recorded during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006.

Disposition of Assets and Other Gains.   Disposition of assets and other gains were $8,500,000 in the current period compared to $770,000 in the prior period. The current and prior periods include $7,880,000 and $675,000, respectively, of settlements received related to fireproofing claims at various theatres (see Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies to Consolidated Financial Statements). The current period includes a gain on disposition of the Spain and Portugal theatres and the U.S. dispositions of theatres as required by and in connection with the Mergers of $620,000.

Other Income.   Other income includes $7,434,000 and $6,047,000 of income related to the derecognition of stored value card liabilities where we believe future redemption to be remote, during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense increased 95.9%, or $50,448,000, primarily due to increased borrowings.

On January 26, 2006, we issued $325,000,000 of the Notes due 2016 and entered into the New Credit Facility for $850,000,000, of which $646,750,000 is currently outstanding as a variable rate term note. We also incurred interest expense related to debt held by Cinemex of $6,311,000 during fiscal 2007.

Investment Income.   Investment income was $3,510,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to income of $372,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. Interest income increased $5,338,000 from the prior period due primarily to larger amounts of cash and equivalents available for investment. Equity in losses of non-consolidated entities were $2,455,000 in the current period compared to losses of $659,000 in the prior period. Current year equity in losses related to our investments in NCM and Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. were $2,532,000 and $311,000, respectively.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit).   The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $2,600,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 compared to a benefit of $10,300,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005. See Note 9—Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loss From Discontinued Operations, Net.   On June 30, 2005 we sold Japan AMC Theatres, Inc., including four theatres in Japan with 63 screens. The results of operations of these theatres are classified as discontinued operations. Additionally, on September 1, 2005 we sold the remaining Japan theatre with 16 screens and classified its operations as discontinued operations. The information presented for all fiscal 2006 reflects the new classification. See Note 3-Discontinued Operations to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the components of the loss from discontinued operations.

Net Loss.   Net loss was $(18,489,000) and $(38,424,000) for the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and the twenty-six weeks ended September 29, 2005, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our 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.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $65,554,000 and $(4,312,000) during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 is primarily due to increases in attendance and improvement in operating results, including amounts related to the Merger. We had a working capital surplus and (deficit) as of September 28, 2006 and March 30, 2006 of $19,432,000 and $(116,201,000), respectively. We received fireproofing checks totaling $7,880,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006. Subsequent to September 28, 2006 we received additional fireproofing checks totaling $5,250,000. 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 had approximately $151,000,000 and $90,000,000 available on our credit facility to meet these obligations for the periods ended September 28, 2006 and March 30, 2006, respectively.

During the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006, we sold 4 theatres in Spain with 86 screens, sold one theatre in Portugal with 20 screens, disposed of 8 theatres with 100 screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers, closed 7 theatres with 54 screens in the U.S., closed one managed theatre with 6 screens in the U.S., opened 2 new theatres with 33 screens in the U.S., acquired 2 theatres with 32 screens in the U.S., added 6 screens to an existing theatre in the U.S., opened one new theatre with 9 screens in Mexico and disposed of one theatre in Argentina with 8 screens resulting in a circuit total of 411 theatres and 5,635 screens.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by (used in) investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were $27,339,000 and $(1,395,000), during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively. As of September 28, 2006, we had construction in progress of $28,257,000. We had 8 U.S. theatres with a total of 117 screens and one Mexico theatre with 12 screens under construction on September 28, 2006 that we expect to open in fiscal 2007. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $64,105,000 and $44,437,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively. We expect that our gross capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 will be approximately $143,000,000.

In May 2006, AMCEI and its subsidiary AMC Entertainment International Limited sold its interests in AMC Entertainment España S.A., which owned and operated 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain, and Actividades Multi-Cinemas E Espectáculos, LDA, which owned and operated 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal for a net sales price of approximately $35,446,000.

During the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006, we sold six theatres with 68 screens, exchanged two theatres with 32 screens, and closed one theatre with eight screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers for an aggregate sales price of $64,193,000.

On June 30, 2005, we disposed of Japan AMC Theatres, Inc., including four of our five theatres in Japan, for a cash sales price of $44,861,000 and on September 1, 2005, sold our remaining Japan theatre for a sales price of $8,595,000.

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 a portion of the construction costs. However, 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.

Historically, we have either paid for or leased the equipment used in a theatre

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 28, 2006, National CineMedia, Inc., a newly-formed entity that will serve as the sole manager of National CineMedia, LLC, announced that it filed a registration statement with the SEC for an initial public offering, or IPO, of up to $700 million of its common stock. Net proceeds from the IPO will be used to acquire newly issued equity interests from National CineMedia, LLC, and National CineMedia, LLC will distribute the net proceeds to each of AMC, Cinemark and Regal on a pro rata basis in connection with modifying payment obligations for access to our theatres. In connection with the completion of the IPO, National CineMedia also intends to enter into an approximately $725 million term loan facility the net proceeds of which will be used to redeem preferred units to be held by each of AMC, Cinemark and Regal on a pro rata basis pursuant to a recapitalization of National CineMedia, LLC prior to completion of the IPO. AMC expects to receive net IPO and debt proceeds upon completion of such transactions of approximately $425-$475 million. AMC is currently exploring alternatives for using the IPO and debt proceeds, and may use some or all of the proceeds to reduce debt or other discretionary transactions. There can be no guarantee that National CineMedia, Inc. will complete the IPO or debt transactions or that AMC will receive any of the expected proceeds.

In connection with the completion of the IPO, AMC intends to amend and restate its existing services agreement with National CineMedia, LLC whereby in exchange for our pro rata share of the IPO proceeds, AMC will agree to a modification of National CineMedia, LLC’s payment obligation under the existing agreement. The modification will extend the term of the agreement to 30 years, provide National CineMedia, LLC with a five year right of first refusal beginning one year prior to the end of the term and change the basis upon which AMC is paid by National CineMedia, LLC from a percentage of revenues associated with advertising contracts entered into by National CineMedia, LLC to a monthly theatre access fee. The theatre access fee would be composed of a fixed payment per patron and a fixed payment per digital screen, which would increase by 8% every five years starting at the end of fiscal 2011 for payments per patron and by 5% annually starting at the end of fiscal 2007 for payments per digital screen. Additionally, AMC will enter into the Loews Screen Integration Agreement with National CineMedia, LLC pursuant to which AMC will pay National CineMedia, LLC an amount that approximates the EBITDA that National CineMedia, LLC would generate if it were able to sell advertising in the Loews theatre chain on an exclusive basis commencing upon the completion of this IPO, and National CineMedia, LLC will issue to AMC common membership units in National CineMedia, LLC increasing its expected ownership interest to appproximately 34%; such Loews payments will be made quarterly until May 2008. Also, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to our beverage concessionaire, AMC would be required to purchase such time from National CineMedia, LLC at a negotiated rate. In addition, after completion of the IPO, AMC expects to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from National CineMedia, LLC. There can be no guarantee that the amendment to the existing services agreement will occur.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were $(11,267,000) and $6,455,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006 and September 29, 2005, respectively.

Reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2006 for certain information about our New Credit Facility, the Cinemex Credit Facility, our Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, Notes due 2016, Fixed Notes due 2012 and Floating Notes due 2010.

The New Credit Facility is with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provides financing of up to $850,000,000, consisting of a $650,000,000 term loan facility with a maturity of seven years

41




and a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity of six years. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for Mexican peso-denominated revolving loans, for letters of credit and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice. As of September 28, 2006, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $646,750,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings, and the initial applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility is 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.125% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin for such borrowings may be reduced, subject to AMCE attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.375% (subject to reduction upon attainment of certain leverage ratios). We will also pay customary letter of credit fees. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. We are required to repay $1,625,000 of the term loan quarterly, beginning March 30, 2006 through September 30, 2012, with any remaining balance due on January 26, 2013.

The indentures relating to our outstanding notes allow us to incur all permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction, which includes all amounts borrowed under our credit facility. The indentures also allow us to incur any amount of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, both at the time of the event (under the indenture for the Notes due 2011) and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (under the indentures for the Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Fixed Notes due 2012, Floating Notes due 2010, Notes due 2014 and Notes due 2016). Under the indentures relating to the Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014 and Notes due 2016, the most restrictive of the indentures, we could borrow approximately $163,000,000 and $6,300,000 in addition to permitted indebtedness (assuming an interest rate of 10% per annum on the additional borrowings) as of September 28, 2006 and March 30, 2006, respectively. If we cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally we can incur, in addition to amounts borrowed under the credit facility, no more than $100,000,000 of new “permitted indebtedness” under the terms of the indentures relating to the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2016 notes.

The indentures relating to the above-described notes also contain covenants limiting dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates, and mergers and sales of assets, and require us to make an offer to purchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the indentures. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indentures), we would be required to make offers to repurchase all of the outstanding notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

As of September 28, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the New Credit Facility, the Cinemex Credit Facility, the Notes due 2016, the Notes due 2011, the Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, the Fixed Notes due 2012 and the Floating Notes due 2010.

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 twelve months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the new Credit Facility.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to (1) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a defined benefit

42




postretirement plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status, (2) measure a defined benefit retirement plan’s assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year, and (3) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2007, for an employer without publicly traded equity securities, or April 3, 2008 for AMCE. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, or April 2, 2009 for AMCE Earlier application of the recognition or measurement date provisions is encouraged; however, early application must be for all of an employer’s benefit plans. We believe that as of March 30, 2006, our most recent fiscal year-end, this standard would have resulted in decreased liabilities and decreased accumulated other comprensive loss of approximately $5,365,000.

In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. It does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Under the standard, 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 reporting entity transacts. It clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, or the first quarter of fiscal 2009 for AMCE. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate this standard having a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for companies with fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by us in our fiscal year ending March 29, 2007. However, early application is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of this guidance. We do not anticipate an effect on our consolidated financials statements with the adoption of SAB 108.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We expect to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or

Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB agreed to issue FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event, which requires companies to consider the probability of the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employees’ control (i.e., change in control, or death or disability) in determining the classification of an employee stock option or similar instrument under FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, where the award requires or permits cash settlement upon the contingent event. The FSP requires companies to classify employee stock options and similar instruments with contingent cash settlement features as equity awards provided the contingent event that permits or requires cash settlement is not considered probable of occurring. The adoption of FSP 123 R-4 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period. FSP 13-1 clarifies there is no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Accordingly, we are no longer able to capitalize rental costs during the construction period and began expensing them as preopening expense prior to the theatre opening date. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We have adopted this FSP during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 which results in recognition of preopening expense during the “rent holiday”.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. It also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. We are not currently contemplating an accounting change which would be impacted by SFAS 154.

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. We do not hold any significant derivative financial instruments.

Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments.   We maintain an $850,000,000 New Credit Facility comprised of a $200,000,000 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 new revolving credit facility as of September 28, 2006 and had $646,750,000 outstanding under the term loan facility; therefore, a 100 basis point fluctuation in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the new credit facility by approximately $3,202,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006. Also included in long-term debt are $205,000,000 of our Floating Notes due 2010. A 100 basis point fluctuation in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Floating Notes due 2010 by $1,025,000 during the twenty-six weeks ended September 28, 2006.

Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments.   Included in long-term debt are $325,000,000 of our Notes due 2016, $212,811,000 of our Notes due 2011, $175,000,000 of our Notes due 2012, $300,000,000 of our Notes due 2014 and $250,000,000 of our Fixed Notes due 2012. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease in the fair value of the Notes due 2016, Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014 and Fixed Notes due 2012 and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the Notes due 2016, Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, and Fixed Notes due 2012.

Foreign currency exchange rates.   We currently operate or have interests in theatres in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Canada. 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 income. 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. Although we do not currently hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk, we do not intend to repatriate funds from the operations of our international theatres but instead intend to use them to fund current and future operations. A 10% fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would either increase or decrease loss before income taxes and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by approximately $0.3 million and $44 million, respectively.

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.
