NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

(unaudited)

(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 the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. 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, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”). That report includes a summary of our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes in our accounting policies during the first six months of 2010. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

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, 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period they are determined.

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations for theatres that have been disposed of or classified as held for sale are eliminated from the Company’s continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Theatres are reported as discontinued operations when the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the theatre operations and the cash flows have been eliminated, which generally occurs when the Company no longer has operations in a given market. See Note 6 – Discontinued Operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company performs its impairment analysis at the individual theatre-level, the lowest level of independent, identifiable cash flow. Management reviews all available evidence when assessing long-lived assets for impairment, including negative trends in theatre-level cash flow, the impact of competition, the age of the theatre, and alternative uses of the assets. The Company’s evaluation of negative trends in theatre-level cash flow considers the seasonality of the business, with significant revenues and cash flow generated in the summer and year-end holiday season. Absent any unusual circumstances, management evaluates new theatres for potential impairment only after a theatre has been open and operational for a sufficient period of time to allow its operations to mature.

For those assets that are identified as potentially being impaired, if the undiscounted future cash flows from such assets are less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. The fair value of the assets is primarily estimated using the discounted future cash flow of the assets with consideration of other valuation techniques and using assumptions consistent with those used by market participants. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value, and significant assumptions include attendance levels, admissions and concessions pricing, and the weighted average cost of capital. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Other Theatre Operating Costs

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $1.0 million as a result of a sales and use tax audit. The underpayment of such taxes occurred in 2005 and 2006.

NOTE 2—IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, impairment charges aggregated to $3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The impairment affected twelve theatres with 143 screens and eighteen theatres and 183 screens for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company did not record impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The impairments were primarily the result of deterioration in operating results of these theatres.

The estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $10.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively. These fair value estimates are considered Level 3 estimates and were derived primarily from discounting estimated future cash flows and reference to appraised values.

   $ 238,988      $ 248,171   
                

In January 2010, the Company entered into a $265,000 senior secured term loan facility with an interest rate of LIBOR (subject to a floor of 2.0%) plus a margin of 3.5%, or the base rate plus a margin of 2.5% (subject to a floor of 3.0%), as the Company may elect. The debt was issued with a discount of approximately $2,600, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the debt. The proceeds were used to repay the Company’s $170,000 seven year term loan that was due in May 2012 with a then outstanding balance of $139,600 and the $185,000 seven year delayed-draw term loan facility that was due in May 2012 with a then outstanding balance of $111,150. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,568 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. The Company is currently required to make 21 consecutive principal repayments of the senior secured term loan borrowings in the amount of $612 on the last day of each calendar quarter, with a balance of $230,818 due at final maturity on January 27, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company voluntarily prepaid $20,000 in debt. At June 30, 2010, and 2009, the average interest rate was 5.50% and 4.57%, respectively.

In January 2010, the Company also entered into a new $30,000 revolving credit facility with an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 4.0% (subject to a floor of 2.0%), or base rate plus a margin 3.0% (subject to a 3.0% floor), as the Company may elect. Thereafter, the applicable margins are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA as reflected in the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, with the margins ranging from 3.50% to 4.00% on LIBOR based loans, and from 2.50% to 3.00% on base rate based loans. In addition, the Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the new revolving credit facility. The commitment fee rate is initially 0.75% per annum, and is also subject to adjustment thereafter based on the Company’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA, with the rates ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%. The final maturity date of the new revolving credit facility is January 27, 2013. The new $30,000 revolving credit facility replaced the prior $50,000 revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature in May 2010.

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 the Company’s present and future assets.

Table of Contents

The Company is required as part of the new senior secured term loan facility to enter into interest rate protection to the extent necessary to provide that at least 50% of the term loan is subject to either a fixed interest rate or interest rate protection for a period of not less than three years.

Interest Rate Cap Agreement

On April 15, 2010, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate cap agreement. This agreement caps the base interest rate on $125,000 of aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding term loan at 9.5%. The Company has not designated this agreement as an accounting hedge and changes in fair value of the cap agreement will be recorded through earnings within interest expense. As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate cap was immaterial.

Debt Covenants

The senior secured term loan and revolving 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 to the Company;

 

   

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 their affiliates; and

 

   

engage in businesses other than those in which the Company is currently engaged or those reasonably related thereto.

The senior secured credit agreement places certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures.

The senior secured term loan facility also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a ratio of funded debt to adjusted EBITDA of no more than 4.75, a ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense of no less than 1.75 and a ratio of total adjusted debt (adjusted for certain leases and financing obligations) to EBITDA plus rental expense of no more than 7.15. Beginning with the three month period ending March 31, 2011, the financial covenants contain normal and customary periodic changes in the required ratios over the life of the senior secured credit agreement.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants in its senior secured credit agreement.

NOTE 4—INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates, tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates and the impact of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. For interim financial reporting, the Company generally estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating the Company’s tax positions. This approach is known as the annual effective tax rate method and was used to calculate tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes - Interim Reporting,” to calculate taxes. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method. The estimated annual effective tax rate would not be reliable due to its sensitivity to minimal changes to forecasted annual pre-tax earnings. Under the discrete method, the Company determines the tax expense based upon actual results as if the interim period were an annual period. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 includes the effect of the application of the discrete effective rate on a year to date basis.

The Company experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “IRC”) during the fourth quarter of 2008. The ownership change has and will continue to subject the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards to an annual limitation, which will significantly restrict its ability to use them to offset taxable income in periods following the ownership change. In general, the annual use limitation equals the aggregate value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change multiplied by a specified tax-exempt interest rate.

Table of Contents

The Company determined that at the date of the ownership change, it had a net unrealized built-in loss (“NUBIL”). The NUBIL is determined based on the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s assets and their tax basis at the ownership change. Because of the NUBIL, certain deductions recognized during the five-year period beginning on the date of the IRC Section 382 ownership change (the “recognition period”) are subjected to the same limitation as the net operating loss carryforwards. Because the annual limitation is applied first against the realized built-in losses (“RBILs”), the Company does not expect to utilize any of its net operating carryforwards during the five year recognition period. The amount of RBILs limited was $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which reduced the current income tax benefit. The amount of the disallowed RBILs could increase if the Company disposes of assets with built-in losses at the date of the ownership change during the recognition period. Principally as a result of all the aforementioned limitations and the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company’s net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in the Company’s judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Company judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company has no substantial uncertain tax position liabilities at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was a negative 5.9%, which differs from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the impact of Section 382 and valuation allowance. The Company did not record an income tax provision or benefit in the three or six months ended June 30, 2009 because it did not project taxable income for the full year and due to limitations on its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company 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 uncertain, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset, increasing our income tax expense in the period that such determination is made.

NOTE 5—EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION

In March 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the Carmike Cinemas, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Incentive Stock Plan”). The Company’s 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. As of June 30, 2010, there were 365,750 shares available for future grants under the 2004 Incentive Stock Plan.

The determination of the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using option-pricing models is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and forfeiture rates. The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The dividend yield is an estimate of the expected dividend yield on the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the stock options. All stock option awards are amortized based on their graded vesting over the requisite service period of the awards.

The Company also issues restricted stock awards to certain key employees and directors. Generally, the restricted stock vests over a one to three year period and compensation expense is recognized over the one to three year period equal to the grant date value of the shares awarded to the employee. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has issued 68,000 shares of performance-based nonvested stock awards dependent on the achievement of EBITDA targets that vest over a three-year period. Performance-based nonvested stock awards are recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant and the number of shares ultimately expected to vest. The Company has determined the achievement of the performance factor is probable.

The Company’s policy is to issue new shares upon exercise of options and the issuance of stock grants.

The Company’s total stock-based compensation expense was approximately $538 and $344 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1,222 and $478 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts were recorded in general and administrative expenses. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $3,222 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s plans. This cost is expected to be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards.

Options – Market Condition Vesting

In April 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 2007 stock option grants are aligned with market performance, as one-third of these stock options each will vest when the Company achieves an increase in the trading price of its common stock (over the $25.95 exercise price) equal to 25%, 30% and 35%, respectively. The Company determined the aggregate grant date fair value of these stock options to be approximately $1,430 and such amount was expensed prior to 2009. The fair value of these options was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model and compensation expense is not subsequently adjusted for the number of shares that are ultimately vested.

NOTE 6 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Theatres are generally considered for closure due to an expiring lease term, underperformance, or the opportunity to better deploy invested capital. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company closed three theatres in each period, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company closed six theatres in each period. With respect to these closures during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company classified one theatre in each period as discontinued operations, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company classified one and three theatres, respectively, as discontinued operations. The Company reported the results of these operations, including gains or losses on disposal, as discontinued operations. The operations and cash flow of these theatres have been eliminated from the Company’s operations, and the Company will not have any continuing involvement in their operations.

All activity from prior years included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations has been reclassified to separately reflect the results of operations from discontinued operations through the respective date of the theatre closings. Assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations have not been segregated from assets and liabilities from continuing operations as they are not material.

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

The Company

We are one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the United States and as of June 30, 2010 we owned, operated or had an interest in 240 theatres with 2,250 screens located in 35 states. We target small to mid-size non-urban markets with the belief that they provide a number of operating benefits, including lower operating costs and fewer alternative forms of entertainment.

As of June 30, 2010, we had 224 theatres with 2,125 screens on a digital-based platform, including 197 theatres with 544 screens equipped for 3-D. We believe our leading-edge technologies allow us not only greater flexibility in showing feature films, but 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 and our 3-D capability provides a competitive advantage to us in many markets where we compete for film and patrons.

We generate revenue primarily from box office receipts and concession sales along with additional revenues from screen advertising sales, our two Hollywood Connection fun centers, video games located in some of our theatres, and theatre rentals. Our revenue depends to a substantial degree on the availability of suitable motion pictures for screening in our theatres and the appeal of such motion pictures to patrons in our specific theatre markets. A disruption in the production of motion pictures, a lack of motion pictures, or the failure of motion pictures to attract the patrons in our theatre markets will likely adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our revenue also varies significantly depending upon the timing of the film releases by distributors. While motion picture distributors now release major motion pictures more evenly throughout the year, the most marketable films are usually released during the summer months and the year-end holiday season, and we usually earn more during those periods than in other periods during the year. As a result, the timing of such releases affects our results of operations and cash flows, which may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with the prospects of a film and the box office revenues of a film. Film rental rates are generally negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis and are typically higher for blockbuster films. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, primarily represent advertisements and movie listings placed in newspapers. The cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the advertisement and the circulation of the newspaper.

Concessions costs fluctuate with our concession revenues. We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We purchase substantially all of our concession supplies, except for beverage supplies, from one supplier.

Other theatre costs consist primarily of theatre labor and occupancy costs. Theatre labor includes a fixed cost component that represents the minimum staffing needed to operate a theatre and a variable component that fluctuates in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to address changes in attendance. Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost as most of our leases require a fixed monthly rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to percentage rent clauses that require payments of amounts based on the level of revenue achieved at the theatre-level. Other occupancy costs possess both fixed and variable components such as utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, and repairs and maintenance.

The ultimate performance of our film product any time during the calendar year will have a dramatic impact on our cash needs. In addition, the seasonal nature of the exhibition industry and positioning of film product makes our needs for cash vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Generally, our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow, available funds under our credit agreement and short term float. Our ability to generate this cash will depend largely on future operations.

In light of the continuing challenging conditions in the credit markets and the wider economy, we continue to focus on operating performance improvements. This includes managing our operating costs, implementing pricing initiatives and closing underperforming theatres. We also intend to allocate our available capital primarily to improving the condition of our theatres and reducing our overall leverage. To this end, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we made voluntary pre-payments of $20 million to reduce bank debt.

For a summary of risks and uncertainties relevant to our business, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Total revenue decreased approximately 4.1% to $127.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $133.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance from 13.7 million in the second quarter of 2009 to 12.3 million for the second quarter of 2010 partially offset by an increase in average admissions per patron from $6.50 in the second quarter of 2009 to $6.89 for the second quarter of 2010 and an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $3.23 for the second quarter of 2009 to $3.47 for the second quarter of 2010. Attendance was down period over period due to a less favorable movie slate while average admissions per patron increased primarily due to premium 3-D pricing. Average concessions and other sales per patron increased primarily due to pricing increases on concession products.

Total revenue decreased approximately 1.2% to $251.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $254.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance from 26.5 million for the 2009 period to 24.3 million for the 2010 period partially offset by an increase in average admissions per patron from $6.44 for the 2009 period to $6.87 for the 2010 period and an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $3.21 for the 2009 period to $3.48 for the 2010 period.

Admissions revenue decreased approximately 4.5% to $84.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $88.8 million for the same period in 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance partially offset by an increase in average admissions per patron from $6.50 in the second quarter of 2009 to $6.89 for the second quarter of 2010.

Admissions revenue decreased approximately 1.7% to $167.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $170.0 million for the same period in 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance partially offset by an increase in average admissions per patron from $6.44 for the 2009 period to $6.87 for the 2010 period.

Concessions and other revenue decreased approximately 3.4% to $42.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $44.2 million for the same period in 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance partially offset by an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $3.23 for the second quarter of 2009 to $3.47 for the second quarter of 2010.

Concessions and other revenue decreased approximately 0.2% to $84.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $84.8 million for the same period in 2009, due to a decrease in total attendance partially offset by an increase in average concessions and other sales per patron from $3.21 for the 2009 period to $3.48 for the 2010 period.

We operated 240 theatres with 2,250 screens at June 30, 2010 compared to 247 theatres with 2,285 screens at June 30, 2009.

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 as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods with more blockbuster films. Film exhibition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $48.2 million as compared to $51.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to a decrease in admissions revenue primarily as a result of a decrease in attendance. As a percentage of admissions revenue, film exhibition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were 56.8% as compared to 57.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of a lower percentage of revenues generated by top tier films. Film exhibition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was flat at $94.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of admissions revenue, film exhibition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were 56.6% as compared to 55.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of higher film rent on 3D and top-tier films partially offset by a reduction in advertising expense in the first three months of 2010.

Concession costs. Concession costs fluctuate with changes in concessions revenue and product sales mix and changes in our cost of goods sold. Concession costs increased to approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to increased product cost and lower volume based incentives from suppliers. As a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concession costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were 11.6% as compared to 10.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to an increase in cost of concession supplies and lower concession rebates compared to 2009. Concession costs increased to approximately $9.1 million compared to $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 due to a decrease in attendance partially offset by higher average concessions and other sales to patrons. As a percentage of concessions and other revenues, concession costs were 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to a decrease in concession volume rebates and an increase in the cost of concession supplies.

Other theatre operating costs. Other theatre operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $53.4 million as compared to $53.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our other theatre operating costs was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and wages expense, an increase in insurance costs and an increase in 3D equipment service charges partially offset by a decrease in repairs and replacements. Other theatre operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $107.2 million as compared to $104.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our other theatre operating costs was primarily the result of an increase in taxes and licenses, an increase in salaries and wages expense, an increase in insurance costs and an increase in 3D equipment service charges which was partially offset by a reduction in repair and maintenance costs. Taxes and licenses were negatively impacted by the recording of sales and use taxes totaling approximately $1.0 million identified as a result of an audit. The underpayment of such taxes occurred in 2005 and 2006.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $4.5 million as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in salaries and wages, incentive compensation and legal and professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $9.3 million as compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in salaries and wages and incentive compensation partially offset by a decrease in legal and professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased approximately 8% as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses resulted from a combination of a lower balance of property and equipment due to theatre closures, asset sales, prior period impairments and other property and equipment disposals, as well as a portion of our long-lived assets becoming fully depreciated.

Net loss (gain) on sales of property and equipment. We recognized a gain of $18,000 on the sales of property and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a gain of $105,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We recognized a loss of $9,000 on the sales of property and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a gain of $151,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Separation agreement charges. We recognized charges of $5.5 million for estimated expenses pertaining to the separation agreement with our former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Michael W. Patrick for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Impairment of long-lived assets. Impairment of long-lived assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively, compared to zero impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The $3.7 million of impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2010 pertained to continuing operations. The impairment charges affect 18 theatres with 183 screens and were primarily the result of deterioration in operating results.

Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 55% to $5.3 million as compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 4.1% as compared to 8.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. These fluctuations are primarily a result of the factors described above. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased 31% to $11.7 million as compared to $17.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was 4.7% as compared to 6.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These fluctuations are primarily a result of the separation agreement charges and the other factors described above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased 9% to $9.8 million from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily related to a combination of an increase in interest rates partially offset by a decrease in the average debt outstanding. Interest income, included in interest expense net, was $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $21,000 for the same period in 2009. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 5% from $17.8 million for the six months ended June 20, 2009 to $18.7 million. Interest costs were also negatively impacted due to the recording of interest costs of approximately $0.7 million associated with underpayment of sales and use taxes related to prior years.

Income tax. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million and $0.6 million. We did not record an income tax provision or benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2009 because we did not project taxable income for the full year and due to the limitations on our net operating loss carryforwards. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company has utilized the discrete tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes - Interim Reporting” to calculate taxes. The Company believes that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method. The estimated annual effective tax rate would not be reliable due to its sensitivity to minimal changes to forecasted annual pre-tax earnings. Under the discrete method, the Company determines the tax expense based upon actual results as if the interim period were an annual period. The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 includes the effect of the application of the discrete effective rate on a year to date basis.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our consolidated net deferred tax assets were $63.2 million, before the effects of any valuation allowance. We regularly assess 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 uncertain, a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset, increasing our income tax expense in the period that such determination is made.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit. Theatres are generally considered for closure due to an expiring lease term, underperformance, or the opportunity to better deploy invested capital. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we closed three theatres in each period, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we closed six theatres in each period. With respect to these closures during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we classified one theatre in each period as discontinued operations, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we classified one and three theatres, respectively, as discontinued operations. We reported the results of these operations, including gains or losses on disposal, as discontinued operations. The operations and cash flow of these theatres have been eliminated from our operations, and we will not have any continuing involvement in their operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations separately show the results from discontinued operations through the respective dates of the theatre closings. Assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations have not been segregated from assets and liabilities from continuing operations as they are not material. We recorded income from discontinued operations, net of tax benefit, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 of $154,000 and $111,000, respectively, as compared to a loss of $161,000 and $476,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The results from discontinued operations include a gain of $260,000 and $301,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, on disposal of assets, net of taxes, and a loss on disposal of assets of $75,000 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We typically maintain current liabilities in excess of our current assets which results in a working capital deficit. We are able to operate with a substantial working capital deficit because our operating revenues are primarily received on a cash basis. Rather than maintain significant cash balances that would result from this pattern of operating cash flows, we utilize operating cash flows in excess of those required for investing activities to make discretionary payments on our debt balances. We had a working capital deficit of $31.2 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to a working capital deficit of $23.3 million at December 31, 2009.

At June 30, 2010, we had available borrowing capacity of $30 million under our revolving credit facility and approximately $18.4 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand as compared to $25.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009. On January 27, 2010, we terminated our prior $50.0 million revolving credit facility and entered into our existing $30.0 million three year revolving credit facility. The material terms of our new revolving credit facility (including limitations on our ability to freely use all the available borrowing capacity) are described below in “Credit Agreement and Covenant Compliance.”

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in our cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to lower operating results and a reduction in accrued expenses and other liabilities as compared to the prior period. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. 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 a decrease in proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Capital expenditures were $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to no theatres being under development in 2010. Net cash used in financing activities was $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in our net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to $20.0 million of unscheduled prepayments of long-term debt in the first six months of 2010 as compared to $5.0 million of unscheduled prepayments of long-term debt in the first six months of 2009 and the incurrence of $9.0 million of debt issuance costs in the first six months of 2010.

Our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow and availability under our senior secured credit agreement. 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 flow.

We from time to time close older theatres or do not renew the leases, and 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. In the first six months of 2010, we closed six of our underperforming theatres and estimate closing up to an aggregate of ten theatres in 2010.

We plan to make a total of approximately $15 million to $20 million in capital expenditures for calendar year 2010. Pursuant to our January 2010 senior secured credit agreement, the aggregate capital expenditures that we may make, or commit to make for any fiscal year is limited to $22 million, provided that up to $5 million of the unused capital expenditures in a fiscal year may be carried over to the succeeding fiscal year. The Company has announced plans to install its own large digital format screen. The BigD-Large Format Digital Experience will include a larger screen, enhanced sound and premium seating accommodations. The Company intends to roll out the BigD-Large Format Digital Experience at up to 24 locations by the end of 2011.

Credit Agreement and Covenant Compliance

On January 27, 2010, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among us, as borrower, and several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement, as lenders. Our new long-term debt obligations consist of the following:

 

   

a $265.0 million six year term loan facility (issued at a $2.6 million discount) that matures on January 27, 2016; and

 

   

a $30.0 million three year revolving credit facility that matures on January 27, 2013.

The interest rate for borrowings under the new term loan facility is LIBOR (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus a margin of 3.50%, or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (subject to a 3.00% floor) plus a margin of 2.50%, as we may elect.

The interest rate for borrowings under the new revolving credit facility is LIBOR (subject to a 2.00% floor) plus an initial margin of 4.00%, or Base Rate (subject to a 3.00% floor) plus margin of 3.00%, as we may elect. Thereafter, the applicable margins are subject to adjustment based on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA as reflected in our quarterly or annual financial statements, with the margins ranging from 3.50% to 4.00% on LIBOR based loans, and from 2.50% to 3.00% on Base Rate based loans.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement requires that mandatory prepayments be made from (1) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales, dispositions or issuances of certain debt obligations, (2) 100% of the net cash proceeds from sales-leaseback transactions, (3) various percentages (ranging from 0% to 75% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio) of excess cash flow as defined in the credit agreement, and (4) 50% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of certain equity and capital contributions.

The senior secured term loan and revolving 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.

Debt Covenants

The senior secured term loan and revolving credit facilities contain covenants which, among other things, limit our ability, and that of our subsidiaries, to:

 

   

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

 

   

incur additional indebtedness and financing obligations;

 

   

create liens on our assets;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

sell or otherwise dispose of our assets other than in the ordinary course of business;

 

   

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

 

   

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

engage in businesses other than those in which we are currently engaged or those reasonably related thereto.

The Credit Agreement imposes an annual limit of $22.0 million on our ability to make capital expenditures, plus a carryforward of $5.0 million of any unused capital expenditures from the prior year. In addition to the dollar limitation, we may not make any capital expenditure if any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or if a breach of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement would result on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the capital expenditure.

Debt Service

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 and our 2010 business plan, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. However, the possibility exists that, if our operating performance is less than expected, we could come into default under our debt instruments, causing our lenders to accelerate maturity and declare all payments immediately due and payable.

We are required to make principal repayments of our term loan borrowings in 21 consecutive quarterly installments, each in the amount of $612,249, with the balance of $230,817,776 due at final maturity on January 27, 2016. Any amounts that may become outstanding under our revolving credit facility would be due and payable on January 27, 2013.

Debt Covenant Compliance

The new Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a ratio of funded debt to adjusted EBITDA (“leverage ratio”) of no more than 4.75, a ratio of adjusted EBITDA to interest expense (“interest coverage ratio”) of no less than 1.75 and a ratio of total adjusted debt (adjusted for certain leases and financing obligations) to EBITDA plus rental expense (“EBITDAR ratio”) of no more than 7.15.

As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants in Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2010, our leverage, interest coverage and EBITDAR ratios were 3.72, 2.55, and 6.15, respectively.

While we currently believe we will remain in compliance with these financial covenants through December 31, 2010 based on current projections, it is possible that we may not comply with some or all of our financial covenants. In order to avoid such non-compliance, we have the ability to reduce, postpone or cancel certain identified discretionary spending. We could also seek waivers or amendments to the credit agreement in order to avoid non-compliance. However, we can provide no assurance that we will successfully obtain such waivers or amendments from our lenders. If we are unable to comply with some or all of the financial or non-financial covenants and if we fail to obtain future waivers or amendments to the credit agreement, the lenders may terminate our 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.

Table of Contents

Other events of default under the new senior secured credit facilities include:

 

   

our 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);

 

   

a breach or default by us or our subsidiaries on the payment of principal of any other indebtedness in an aggregate amount greater than $10 million;

 

   

a breach of representations or warranties in any material respect; or

 

   

a failure to perform other obligations under the Credit Agreement and the security documents for the senior secured credit facilities (subject to applicable cure periods).

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, 2009.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. This guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain items in this report are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, we, or our executive officers on our behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents we file with the SEC or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors or others. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussion of future operating or financial performance. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our future operating results, our strategies, sources of liquidity, debt covenant compliance, the availability of film product, our capital expenditures, and the opening and closing of theatres. These statements are based on the current expectations, estimates or projections of management and do not guarantee future performance. The forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these statements. As a result, these statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Our actual results and future trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including:

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, as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
