NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

(in thousands except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. This information reflects all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006 Form 10-K”). That report includes a summary of our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our accounting policies during fiscal 2007, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—Interpretations of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) as noted below. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in which the Company does not exercise a significant controlling financial interest are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

Accounting Estimates

In the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are made when accounting for items and matters such as, but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, asset valuations, recoverability of assets, impairment assessments, lease classification, employee benefits, income taxes, reserves and other provisions and contingencies. These estimates are based on the information available when recorded. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company also assesses potential losses in relation to threatened or pending legal matters. If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes an expense for the estimated loss. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period they are realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. See note 4 for the impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring

 

6


Table of Contents

fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact that this statement will have on its results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected through earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not anticipate that this statement will have any effect on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FSP 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of FSP 48-1 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2—CERTAIN RECLASSIFICATIONS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company determined that it should correct errors in its previously issued statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The errors related to the misclassification of certain reimbursements from landlords for leasehold improvements in “Net cash provided by investing activities-purchases of property and equipment” and “Net cash used in operating activities-prepaid expenses and other assets”. The Company concluded that the errors did not materially impact the statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The following is a summary of the effects of these changes on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:

 

     Six months ended June 30, 2006

In 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole book runner, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as documentation agent, and Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $405,000.

The senior secured credit facilities consist of:

 

   

a $170,000 seven year term loan facility used to finance the transactions described below;

 

   

a $185,000 seven year delayed-draw term loan facility; and

 

   

a $50,000 five year revolving credit facility available for general corporate purposes.

In addition, the credit agreement provides for future increases (subject to certain conditions and requirements) to the revolving credit and term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000.

The interest rate for the Company’s senior secured credit agreement under its outstanding revolving and term loans, as amended, is set to a margin above the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or base rate, as the case may be, based on the Company’s corporate credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services in effect from time to time, with the margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% for loans based on LIBOR and 1.50% to 2.50% for loans based on the base rate. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate was 8.61%. The final maturity date of the revolving credit facility is May 19, 2010.

The credit agreement requires that mandatory prepayments be made from (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and dispositions and issuances of certain debt, (2) various percentages (ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio) of excess cash flow as defined in the credit agreement, and (3) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of certain equity and capital contributions.

The senior secured credit facilities contain covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability, and that of its restricted subsidiaries, to:

 

   

pay dividends or make any other restricted payments to parties other than us;

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

create liens on their assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell or otherwise dispose of their assets;

 

   

consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of their assets;

 

   

enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and

 

   

engage in any sale-leaseback, synthetic lease or similar transaction involving any of their assets.

The senior secured credit facilities also contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain specified ratios of funded debt to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. The terms governing each of these ratios are defined in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was

Table of Contents

in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Generally, the senior secured credit facilities do not place restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures. However, the Company may not make any capital expenditure if any default or event of default under the credit agreement has occurred and is continuing or would result, or if such default or event of default would occur as a result of a breach of certain financial covenants contained in the credit agreement on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the capital expenditure. However, on July 27, 2007, the Company entered into a seventh amendment to the senior secured credit agreement that limits the aggregate amount of capital expenditures that the Company may make, or commit to make, for any fiscal year, to $30 million.

The Company’s failure to comply with any of these covenants, including compliance with the financial ratios, is an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, in which case the administrative agent may, and if requested by the lenders holding a certain minimum percentage of the commitments shall, terminate the revolving credit facility with respect to additional advances and may declare all or any portion of the obligations under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facilities due and payable. Other events of default under the senior secured credit facilities include:

 

   

the Company’s failure to pay principal on the loans when due and payable, or its failure to pay interest on the loans or to pay certain fees and expenses (subject to applicable grace periods);

 

   

the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the credit agreement); or

 

   

a breach or default by the Company or its subsidiaries on the payment of principal of any Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000.

The senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries and secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of its present and future assets.

Interest Rate Cap Agreement

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company entered into and expects to maintain an interest rate cap agreement. This agreement caps the interest rate on $150,000 of aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding term loans. The Company did not designate this agreement as an accounting hedge under FASB Statement No. 133 (as subsequently amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”), accordingly changes in fair value of the cap agreement are recorded through earnings as derivative gains/(losses) and are classified within interest expense. As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of this interest rate cap was $0.

NOTE 4—INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and implemented the guidance of FSP FIN 48-1 with no impact on beginning retained earnings. As of the date of adoption, the Company had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits aggregating $3,326. The adoption of FIN 48 required the Company to reclassify certain amounts related to uncertain tax positions. As a result, the Company increased its deferred tax assets by $1,486, and increased liabilities for FIN 48 by $1,486 on the adoption date.

As of January 1, 2007, there are no tax positions the disallowance of which would affect the annual effective income tax rate.

The Company files consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in many state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for years before 2000 and is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 1997.

The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within its income tax expense. Due to its net operating loss carryforward position, the Company recognized no interest and penalties at January 1, 2007. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized no potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 the Company’s consolidated net deferred tax assets were $57,743 and $55,903, respectively, before the effects of any valuation allowance. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”), the Company regularly assesses whether it is more likely than not that its deferred tax asset balances will be recovered from future taxable income, taking into account such factors as earnings history, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. When sufficient evidence exists that indicates that recovery is unlikely, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets, increasing the Company’s income tax expense in the period that such conclusion is made.

A significant factor in the recoverability assessment of the Company’s deferred tax asset is its history of cumulative losses during the current and two prior periods. As a result of significant income in 2004, the Company did not have cumulative losses in the three year period ended December 31, 2006; furthermore, the Company’s outlook at March 31, 2007 did not include an expectation of cumulative losses in the three year period to include 2007. However, box office results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were significantly lower than industry expectations. As a result, at June 30, 2007, the Company concluded that the recoverability of the deferred tax assets was now unlikely based upon cumulative losses in the current period and the preceding two years and determined that a valuation allowance was necessary to fully reserve its deferred tax assets.

The Company recognized an income tax expense of $55,903 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 principally to record such valuation allowance. Income tax expense of $ 58,505 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 also includes a charge to reverse the tax benefit recorded during the first quarter of 2007. The Company expects that it will not recognize income tax benefits in the future until a determination is made that a valuation allowance for all or some portion of the deferred tax assets is no longer required.

Because the Company’s uncertain tax position will be fully absorbed by net operating loss carryforwards, the FIN 48 liabilities were classified within deferred tax assets at June 30, 2007.

NOTE 5—EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s equity based compensation program is a long-term retention program that is intended to attract, retain and provide incentives for directors, officers and employees in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. These plans are described in more detail below. The Board of Directors (as delegated to the Compensation and Nominating Committee) has the sole authority to determine who receives such grants, the type, size and timing of such grants, and to specify the terms of any non-competition agreements relating to the grants.

General Stock Option Information

In 2002, the Board of Directors adopted the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Directors Incentive Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders. There were a total of 75,000 shares reserved under the Directors Incentive Plan. The Company granted to certain of its directors 20,000 shares in the aggregate during 2002, 2003 and 2004, and these grants represent the only stock options outstanding under the Directors Incentive Plan prior to the plan being superseded in May 2004, the effective date of the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Incentive Stock Plan”).

In July 2002, the Board of Directors adopted the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. Employee and Consultant Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “Employee Incentive Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders. There were a total of 500,000 shares reserved under the Employee Incentive Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 150,000 options pursuant to this plan in March 2003 to three members of senior management. The exercise price for the 150,000 options is $21.79, and 75,000 shares vested on December 31, 2005 and 75,000 shares vested on December 31, 2006. In 2003, the Company granted an aggregate of 180,000 options to six members of management. The exercise price for the 180,000 options is $35.63, and they vest ratably over three years beginning January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007. These grants of 330,000 options in the aggregate during 2003 represent the only stock options granted under the Employee Incentive Plan prior to the plan being superseded in May 2004, the effective date of the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan.

In March 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan, which was subsequently

approved by the stockholders. The 2004 Incentive Stock Plan replaced the Employee Incentive Plan and the Directors Incentive Plan. The Compensation and Nominating Committee (or similar committee) may grant stock options, stock grants, stock units, and stock appreciation rights under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan to certain eligible employees and to outside directors. There are 830,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to grants made under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. In addition, 225,000 unissued shares that were previously authorized for issuance under the Employee Incentive Plan and the Directors Incentive Plan and the shares of stock subject to grants under the Employee Incentive Plan and the Directors Incentive Plan which may be forfeited or expire on or after the effective date of the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan are also reserved for issuance under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan. No further grants may be made under the Employee Incentive Plan or Directors Incentive Plan.

On April 13, 2007, the Compensation and Nominating Committee approved (pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan) the grant of an aggregate of 260,000 stock options, at an exercise price equal to $25.95 per share, to a group of eight senior executives. The April 13, 2007 stock option grants are specifically meant to enhance stockholder value as one-third of these stock options will vest when the Company achieves an increase in the trading price of its common stock equal to 25%, 30% and 35%, respectively. The Company, with the assistance of valuation specialists, determined the aggregate grant date fair value of these stock options to be approximately $1,430.

The fair value of the options granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model generates the fair value of the award at the grant date and compensation expense is not subsequently adjusted for the number of shares that are ultimately vested. The inputs for expected volatility, expected dividends, and risk-free rate used in estimating fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 are as follows:

 

Risk-free interest rate

   4.7 %

Dividend yield

Restricted Stock Plans

In 2002 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new management incentive plan, the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. 2002 Stock Plan (the “2002 Stock Plan”). The Board of Directors approved the grant of 780,000 shares under the 2002 Stock Plan to Michael W. Patrick, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Patrick’s employment agreement dated January 31, 2002 these shares were delivered in three equal installments on January 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. In May 2002, the Company’s Stock Option Committee (which administered the 2002 Stock Plan prior to August 2002) approved grants of the remaining 220,000 shares to a group of seven other members of senior management. These shares were earned over a three year period, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2002, with the shares being earned as the executive achieved specific performance goals set for the executive during each of these years. In some instances, the executive earned partial amounts of his or her stock grant based on graded levels of performance. Shares earned each year vest and are receivable approximately two years after the calendar year in which they were earned, provided, with certain exceptions, the executive remains an employee of the Company.

Of the 220,000 shares granted to members of senior management, 204,360 shares have been earned as of June 30, 2007, and 15,640 shares have been forfeited.

The Company delivered 293,000 shares, including 277,500 shares that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2007, to management on January 31, 2007 and 324,110 shares to management on January 31, 2006 in conjunction with the 2002 Stock Plan. In order to satisfy the federal and state withholding requirements on these shares, the Company retained 118,064 and 134,344 of these shares at January 31, 2007 and 2006 at $22.34 and $22.69 respectively in treasury and remitted the corresponding tax withholding in cash on behalf of the stock recipients.

On April 13, 2007, the Compensation and Nominating Committee approved (pursuant to the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan) the grant of an aggregate of 156,000 shares of restricted stock, with a grant date fair value of $25.95, to a group of 52 employees. All 156,000 shares of restricted stock will vest in full on April 13, 2010.

The following table sets forth the summary of activity for grants under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Stock Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2007:

NOTE 6—LITIGATION

From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, contractual disputes and claims alleging Americans with Disabilities Act violations. Currently, there is no pending litigation or proceedings that the Company believes will have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on its business or financial condition.

NOTE 7—NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is presented in conformity with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“SFAS 128”), for all periods presented. In accordance with SFAS 128, basic net income (loss) per common share has been computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding. However, as a result of the Company’s net losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share given their anti-dilutive affect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the United States and we own, operate or have an interest in 276 theatres with 2,399 screens located in 37 states. We target small to mid-size non-urban markets and estimate that more than 80% of our theatres are located in communities with populations of fewer than 100,000 people. We believe there are several benefits of operating in small to mid-size markets, including less competition, lower operating costs and fewer alternative forms of entertainment. Our operating strategy is designed around the belief that secondary and tertiary markets are less attractive to our competitors.

We are continuing to install digital cinema projection systems in our theatre circuit. As of June 30, 2007, we had 1,911 screens on a digital-based platform. We believe the implementation of digital cinema projection will allow us not only greater flexibility in showing feature films, but will also provide us with the capability to explore revenue enhancing alternative content programming. Digital film content can be easily moved to and from auditoriums in our theatres to maximize attendance. The superior quality of digital cinema could provide a competitive advantage to us in markets where we compete for film and patrons.

At June 30, 2007, we concluded that the recoverability of our deferred tax assets was unlikely based on available evidence, including cumulative losses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the two preceding years. At June 30, 2007, we recorded a valuation allowance to fully reserve our deferred tax assets. See further discussion in the results of operations section that follows.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006

Revenues. We collect substantially all of our revenues from the sale of admission tickets and concessions. The table below provides a comparative summary of the operating data for this revenue generation.

Total revenues (in thousands)

   $ 130,135    $ 130,204    $ 240,744    $ 241,798

Total revenues decreased less than 1% to $130.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $130.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to decreases in admissions, partially offset by an increase in concessions and other revenues. Total revenues decreased less than 1% to $240.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $241.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to a decrease in concessions and other revenues. Admissions revenue decreased less than 1% to $84.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $84.9 million for the same period in 2006. This decrease is largely due to a decrease in attendance; partially offset by an increase in our average admissions per patron. Admissions revenue was $157.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Concessions and other revenue increased less than 1% to $45.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $45.3 million for the same period in 2006, due to the increase in our average concessions and other sales per patron during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Concessions and other revenue decreased 1% to $83.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $84.4 million for the same period in 2006, due to the decrease in our attendance during the six months ended June 30, 2007, which was partially offset by the increase in the average concessions and other sales per patron.

Film exhibition costs. Film exhibition costs fluctuate in direct relation to the increases and decreases in admissions revenue and the mix of aggregate and term film deals. Film exhibition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $48.0 million as compared to $47.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, principally due to an increase in the per film rental rate. As a percentage of admissions revenue, film exhibition costs were 57% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 56% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Film exhibition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $86.8 million as compared to $85.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of admissions revenue, film exhibition costs were 55% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 54% for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Concessions costs. Concessions costs fluctuate with changes in concessions revenue and sales mix and changes in our cost of goods sold. Concession costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $5.1 million as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concession costs were 11% and 12% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Concession costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $8.8 million as compared to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concession costs were 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our focus continues to be a limited concessions offering of high margin products such as soft drinks, popcorn and individually packaged candy, to maximize our profit potential.

Other theatre operating costs. Other theatre operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $50.9 million as compared to $49.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of increased occupancy, insurance and other administrative costs. Other theatre operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $98.3 million as compared to $100.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 deceased to $5.4 million as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses is due primarily to lower professional fees and costs. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 deceased to $11.4 million compared to $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

We recognized a gain of $2.1 million on the sales of property and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to a gain of $437,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 54% to $11.8 million as compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 9% as compared to 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 52% to $17.3 million as compared to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 3% to $11.9 million from $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 8% to $23.7 million from $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increases are primarily related to the higher interest rate of our senior secured credit facility. Interest income, included in interest expense, net, was $98,000 and $267,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, as compared to $126,000 and $276,000 for the same periods in 2006.

Gain on sale of investments. We recognized a gain on investments of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from the sale of our investment in a third party ticket distributor.

Income tax. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, with no impact on beginning retained earnings. As of the date of adoption we had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits aggregating $3.3 million. The adoption of FIN 48 required us to reclassify certain amounts related to uncertain tax positions. As a result, we increased our deferred tax asset by $1.5 million, and increased liabilities for FIN 48 by $1.5 million. As of January 1, 2007, there were no tax positions the disallowance of which would affect our annual effective income tax rate.

At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007 our consolidated net deferred tax assets were $57.7 million and $55.9 million, respectively, before the effects of any valuation allowance. In accordance with SFAS 109 we regularly assesses whether it is more likely than not that our deferred tax asset balance will be recovered from future taxable income, taking into account such factors as our earnings history, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax planning strategies. When sufficient evidence exists that indicates that recovery is unlikely, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset, increasing our income tax expense in the period that such conclusion is made.

A significant factor in the recoverability assessment of our deferred tax asset is our history of cumulative losses during the current and two prior periods. As a result of significant income in 2004, we did not have cumulative losses in the three year period ended December 31, 2006; furthermore, our outlook at March 31, 2007 did not include an expectation of cumulative losses in the three year period to include 2007. However, box office results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were significantly lower than industry expectations. As a result, at June 30, 2007, we concluded that the recoverability of the deferred tax assets was now unlikely based upon cumulative losses in the current period and the preceding two years and determined that a valuation allowance was necessary to fully reserve our deferred tax assets.

Income tax expense was $58.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and includes a charge to reverse the tax benefit recorded during the first quarter of 2007, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. We recognized an income tax expense of $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, principally to record such valuation allowance, as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We expect that we will not recognize income tax benefits in the future until a determination is made that a valuation allowance for all or some portion of the deferred tax assets is no longer required.

Because our uncertain tax position will be fully absorbed by net operating loss carryforwards, the FIN 48 liabilities were classified within deferred tax assets at June 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our revenues are collected in cash and credit card payments. Because we receive our revenues in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, we have an operating “float” which partially finances our operations. We had a working capital deficit of $24.3 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to working capital deficit of $23.5 million at December 31, 2006.

At June 30, 2007, we had available borrowing capacity of $50 million under our revolving credit facility and approximately $24.2 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand. The material terms of our

 

16


Table of Contents

revolving credit facility (including limitation on our ability to freely use all the available borrowing capacity) are described below in “Material Credit Agreements and Covenant Compliance.”

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in our cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to increased profits from operations, partially offset by a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in our net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in cash used for the purchases of property and equipment and an increase in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment during 2007. Capital expenditures were $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 net cash used in financing activities was $7.9 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our financing activities include $4.4 million and $4.3 million of dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow, availability under our credit agreements and short term float. The exhibition industry is seasonal with the studios normally releasing their premiere film product during the holiday season and summer months. This seasonal positioning of film product makes our needs for cash vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Additionally, the ultimate performance of the films any time during the calendar year will have a dramatic impact on our cash needs.

We plan to make approximately $25 million in capital expenditures for calendar year 2007. Pursuant to the seventh amendment to our senior secured credit agreement, the aggregate capital expenditures that we may make, or commit to make for any fiscal year is limited to $30 million. We anticipate we will add one theatre during the course of 2007 and potentially close some of our older theatres where leases will not be renewed. The expenses associated with exiting these closed theatres typically relate to costs associated with removing owned equipment for redeployment in other locations and are not material to our operations.

Our ability to service our indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate this cash will depend largely on future operations. Based upon our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and borrowings under our credit agreements will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. However, the possibility exists that, if our liquidity needs are not met and we are unable to service our indebtedness, we could come into default under our debt instruments, causing the agents or trustees to accelerate maturity and declare all payments immediately due and payable.

We cannot make assurances that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our liquidity needs. We are dependent to a large degree on the public’s acceptance of the films released by the studios. We are also subject to a high degree of competition and low barriers of entry into our industry. In the future, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot make assurances that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness or raise additional capital through other means, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we have insufficient cash flow to fund our liquidity needs and are unable to refinance our indebtedness or raise additional capital, we could come into default under our debt instruments as described below. In addition, we may be unable to pursue growth opportunities in new and existing markets and to fund our capital expenditure needs.

Material Credit Agreements and Covenant Compliance

We entered into a credit agreement with Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as sole lead arranger and sole book runner, Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as documentation agent, and Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $405,000.

 

17


Table of Contents

The senior secured credit facilities consist of:

 

   

a $170,000 seven year term loan facility used to finance the transactions described below;

 

   

a $185,000 seven year delayed-draw term loan facility; and

 

   

a $50,000 five year revolving credit facility available for general corporate purposes.

In addition, the credit agreement provides for future increases (subject to certain conditions and requirements) to the revolving credit and term loan facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125,000.

The interest rate for our senior secured credit agreement under the outstanding revolving and term loans, as amended, is set to a margin above the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or base rate, as the case may be, based on our corporate credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services in effect from time to time, with the margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% for loans based on LIBOR and 1.50% to 2.50% for loans based on the base rate. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate was 8.61%. The final maturity date of the revolving credit facility is May 19, 2010.

The credit agreement requires that mandatory prepayments be made from (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and dispositions and issuances of certain debt, (2) various percentages (ranging from 75% to 0% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio) of excess cash flow as defined in the credit agreement, and (3) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of certain equity and capital contributions.

The senior secured credit facilities contain covenants which, among other things, restrict our ability, and that of our restricted subsidiaries, to:

 

   

pay dividends or make any other restricted payments to parties other than us;

 

   

incur additional indebtedness;

 

   

create liens on our assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell or otherwise dispose of our assets;

 

   

consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of our assets;

 

   

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

engage in any sale-leaseback, synthetic lease or similar transaction involving any of our assets.

The senior secured credit facilities also contain financial covenants that require us to maintain specified ratios of funded debt to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to interest expense. The terms governing each of these ratios are defined in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

Generally, the senior secured credit facilities do not place restrictions on our ability to make capital expenditures. However, we may not make any capital expenditure if any default or event of default under the credit agreement has occurred and is continuing or would result, or if such default or event of default would occur as a result of a breach of certain financial covenants contained in the credit agreement

 

18


Table of Contents

on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the capital expenditure. However, on July 27, 2007, we entered into a seventh amendment to the senior secured credit agreement that limits the aggregate amount of capital expenditures that we may make, or commit to make, for any fiscal year, to $30 million.

Our failure to comply with any of these covenants, including compliance with the financial ratios, is an event of default under the senior secured credit facilities, in which case, the administrative agent may, and if requested by the lenders holding a certain minimum percentage of the commitments shall, terminate the revolving credit facility with respect to additional advances and may declare all or any portion of the obligations under the revolving credit facility and the term loan facilities due and payable. Other events of default under the senior secured credit facilities include:

 

   

our failure to pay principal on the loans when due and payable, or our failure to pay interest on the loans or to pay certain fees and expenses (subject to applicable grace periods);

 

   

the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the credit agreement); or

 

   

a breach or default by us or our subsidiaries on the payment of principal of any Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) in an aggregate amount greater than $5.0 million.

The senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of our present and future assets.

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in which the FASB previously concluded that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute and appropriately, the new statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will be required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008. We have not yet evaluated the impact that this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected through earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not anticipate that this statement will have any effect on our results of operations or financial position.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FSP 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of FSP 48-1 had no impact on our results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 3. QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act, include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.

As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, in light of the material weaknesses described below, as of June 30, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

As a result of these control deficiencies, management performed additional procedures to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2006, we had identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which continued to exist on June 30, 2007:

1. We did not maintain a formal financial reporting process to enable us to properly prepare our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, nor do we have controls and procedures to ensure the appropriateness and proper recording of journal entries. Specifically, the following represent deficiencies that in the aggregate represent a material weakness:

 

   

Lack of documentation and understanding of accounting policies for non-routine events or transactions, such as accounting for leases, and GAAP disclosures;

 

   

Inadequate processes to identify changes in GAAP and the business practices that may affect the method or processes of recording transactions and the proper application of GAAP;

 

   

Lack of proper review and oversight of third party consultants engaged to assist in the application of GAAP and presentation of financial statements;

 

   

Ineffective controls over critical spreadsheets used in the preparation of accounting and financial information; and

 

21


Table of Contents
   

Lack of adequate financial analysis to timely detect significant misstatements in the financial statements.

The control deficiencies detailed above resulted in the delayed filing of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30 2006, and in significant misstatements in lease and property, plant and equipment related accounts (see next item), and in the presentation and disclosures in the draft 2006 financial statements. These deficiencies have not been fully remediated. Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies continue to constitute a material weakness at June 30, 2007.

2. We did not maintain effective controls over the accounting for leases and property, plant and equipment. Specifically, the following represent deficiencies that in the aggregate represent a material weakness:

 

   

Ineffective controls related to the preparation, evaluation, documentation and review related to accounting for new, renewed and modified leases;

 

   

Ineffective controls related to establishing and maintaining proper useful lives for owned and leased assets and amortization periods for prepaid rent;

 

   

Ineffective controls related to the accounting for deferred rent, including rent holidays;

 

   

Insufficient understanding and monitoring of accounting policies related to the effect of lessee involvement in asset construction, lease modifications, amortization of leasehold improvements, and deferred rent for new and existing leases;

 

   

Lack of adequate controls to ensure timely dissemination of information by the real estate and lease administration departments to the accounting department;

 

   

Lack of a formal process over the proper classification and approval of capitalized items;

 

   

Ineffective controls over recording of disposals and transfers related to fixed assets and construction-in-progress; and

 

   

Inadequate fixed assets information system, which has limited abilities to track and analyze changes in fixed assets and additions, including acquisitions, transfers and disposals.

The control deficiencies detailed above resulted in the delayed filing of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q quarterly reports for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30 2006, and to significant misstatements in the draft 2006 consolidated financial statements related to assets owned and, under lease, financing obligations, deferred rent, rent expense, interest expense and depreciation expense. These deficiencies have not been fully remediated. Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies continue to constitute a material weakness at June 30, 2007.

Plan of Remediation for Identified Material Weaknesses

Management has prepared an action plan for all identified deficiencies at December 31, 2006, including assigning responsibility and due dates. The status of the plan is being monitored by management and reviewed by the Audit Committee periodically. The 2007 goals of each management member include specific responsibilities related to the remediation and maintenance of effective internal control. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we had not fully implemented all remediation steps related to material weaknesses described above. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the end of the second quarter of 2007.

An update on more significant activities related to the remediation of material weaknesses described above is as follows:

1. We documented our existing financial accounting policies and procedures, including those related to leases and fixed assets, and continue to implement a process to timely identify and address new or emerging changes in GAAP and to ensure the appropriate and consistent application of them. We implemented a formal process to prepare and review a GAAP disclosure checklist.

 

22


Table of Contents

2. We purchased a fixed asset software solution to replace our existing legacy system, to enhance our abilities in tracking and analyzing changes in fixed assets and additions, including all acquisitions, transfers and disposals. We expect to complete the implementation of the new system during the third quarter of 2007.

3. We implemented a new general ledger software solution on January 1, 2007, to replace our legacy accounting system. This system provides us with the ability to facilitate more timely and comprehensive review of our results of operations, to detect errors and assist us in improving the accounting process for non-routine transactions.

4. We continue to develop formal analytical processes and tools to enhance our internal review of the financial statements for each quarter-end to include the review by each of the management team and documentation of detailed analysis of all significant variances to the budget and to prior period results.

5. We are implementing a process to ensure a timely communication of relevant information from the real estate and lease administration departments. Additionally, we are implementing processes and procedures to prepare, document, evaluate and review the accounting implications related to leases and property, plant and equipment transactions.

6. Although we significantly reduced our reliance on outside consultants, we are in the process of formalizing the responsibility, review and oversight of outside consultant activities.

7. Although the number of spreadsheets is expected to be reduced due to the implementation of new financial application systems, we are in the process of implementing policies and procedures to effectively control the integrity and data input in our significant spreadsheets.

8. We are in the process of formalizing our capitalization and disposals policy and implementing the procedure to ensure proper classification.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We continue to work on our efforts to improve the internal control over financial reporting, including the remediation of the material weaknesses listed above. There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting for the three months ended June 30, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Other than as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

If we determine that our surplus 35 millimeter projection systems are impaired, we will be required to recognize a charge to earnings in future periods.

We continue to install digital cinema projection systems in our theatre circuit. As of June 30, 2007, we had 1,911 screens on a digital-based platform. As a result of this conversion process, we will no longer need all of our 35 millimeter projection systems. We plan to market these surplus 35 millimeter projection systems for resale. While we do not regularly engage in the resale of projection equipment, we believe an adequate market exists for the resale of our 35 millimeter projection systems. However, we may face some competition as other theatre companies may have a need to dispose of their surplus 35 millimeter projection equipment. We cannot be certain that we will be able to resell our 35 millimeter projection systems for consideration equal to or greater than the systems’ book value or at all, which could lead to the impairment of these assets. If we determine that assets are impaired, we will be required to recognize a charge to earnings in future periods.
