Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words, “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates” or similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K include the Company’s expectations regarding digital cinema opportunities, the box office performance in 2008 and the Company’s strategies and operating goals, including its operating performance improvement plan. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of management, which in turn are based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to:

 

 

the Company’s ability to comply with covenants contained in its senior secured credit agreement;

 

 

the Company’s ability to operate at expected levels of cash flow;

 

 

the availability of suitable motion pictures for exhibition in the Company’s markets;

 

 

competition in the Company’s markets;

 

 

competition with other forms of entertainment;

 

 

identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting;

 

 

general economic conditions in the Company’s regional and national markets;

 

 

the impact of continued cost control procedures on operating results;

 

 

the effect of the Company’s leverage on its financial condition; and

 

 

other factors, including the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The Company believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of these in light of new information or future events.
