NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Description of Business

The use of the terms “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” throughout these unaudited notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements refer to CEC Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We currently operate and franchise Chuck E. Cheese’s and Peter Piper Pizza family dining and entertainment centers (also referred to as “stores”) in a total of 47 states and 11 foreign countries and territories. Our stores provide our guests with a variety of family entertainment and dining alternatives. All of our stores utilize a consistent restaurant-entertainment format that features both family dining and entertainment areas with the same general mix of food, beverages, entertainment and merchandise. The economic characteristics, products and services, preparation processes, distribution methods and types of customers are substantially similar for each of our stores. Therefore, we aggregate each store’s operating performance into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for two periods, Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the accounting periods preceding and succeeding the completion of the merger of Q Merger Sub Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Merger Sub”) controlled by Apollo with and into CEC Entertainment on February 14, 2014 (the “Merger”). The Predecessor and Successor periods have been separated by a vertical line on the face of the Consolidated Financial Statements to highlight the fact that the financial information for such periods has been prepared under two different historical cost bases of accounting. For the purpose of presentation and disclosure, all references to the “Predecessor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger. All references to the “Successor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries, after giving effect to the Merger, for periods subsequent to the Merger. References to “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” relate to the Predecessor for periods prior to the Merger and to the Successor for periods subsequent to the Merger.

In connection with our sale leaseback transaction that occurred in August 2014, the Company assigned a portion of its rights in the resulting purchase and sale agreement to a newly formed special purpose entity, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), created by a Qualified Intermediary to facilitate a like-kind exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The assignment resulted in $12.1 million of the sales proceeds from the transaction being received by the VIE. We included the VIE in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014. In February 2015, we acquired the VIE, along with its capital improvements and remaining cash balance. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the acquired VIE are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has a controlling financial interest in International Association of CEC Entertainment, Inc. (the “Association”), a VIE. The Association primarily administers the collection and disbursement of funds (the “Association Funds”) used for advertising, entertainment and media programs that benefit both us and our franchisees. We and our franchisees are required to contribute a percentage of gross sales to these funds and could be required to make additional contributions to fund any deficits that may be incurred by the Association. We include the Association in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of its variable interests because we (a) have the power to direct the majority of its significant operating activities; (b) provide it unsecured lines of credit; and (c) own the majority of the stores that benefit from the Association’s advertising, entertainment and media expenditures. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the Association are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because the Association Funds are required to be segregated and used for specified purposes, we do not reflect franchisee contributions to the Association Funds as revenue, but rather record franchisee contributions as an offset to reported advertising expenses. Our contributions to the Association Funds are eliminated in consolidation. Contributions to the advertising, entertainment and media funds from our franchisees were $1.1 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, $0.9 million for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and $0.4 million for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014.

The preparation of these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 28, 2015 and for the six months ended June 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, and the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are unaudited and are presented in accordance with the requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our Consolidated Financial Statements include all necessary reclassification adjustments to conform prior year results to the current period presentation.

Consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted: In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). This amendment eliminates the income statement concept of extraordinary items and the requirements for entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. The amendment should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. As of June 28, 2015, we have $22.1 million of net deferred financing costs that would be reclassified from a long-term asset to a reduction in the carrying amount of our debt.

In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendment is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. Early application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods therein. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Acquisition of Peter Piper Pizza:

In October 2014, the Company acquired Peter Piper Pizza (“PPP”), a leading pizza and entertainment restaurant chain operating in the southwestern United States and Mexico, for aggregate consideration paid of $113.1 million, net of cash acquired.During the six months ended June 28, 2015, the Company made certain adjustments to the initial PPP purchase price allocation related to the final settlement of net working capital, the valuation of favorable and unfavorable lease interests and the valuation of PPP’s tradename that resulted in a net increase to goodwill of $0.5 million.

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition, as well as adjustments made during the measurement period (in thousands):

In addition, these adjustments did not have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2014.

Such amounts are being amortized over a weighted average life of 10 years, and are included in “Rent expense” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the Successor periods.

(2) In the first quarter of 2015 we recorded adjustments related to the valuation of the PPP tradename and the valuation of the favorable lease agreements intangible asset of $1.9 million and $(1.1) million, respectively, recorded in connection with the PPP Acquisition.

Current portion	(9,548		)	(9,545		)
Bank indebtedness and other long-term debt, less current portion	$	994,887		$	998,441

We were in compliance with the debt covenants in effect as of June 28, 2015 for both the Secured Credit Facilities and the senior notes. For further discussion regarding the debt covenants, see Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Unsecured Debt sections below.

Secured Credit Facilities

As of June 28, 2015, we had $752.4 million (excluding the original issue discount) outstanding under the Term loan facility, no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $10.9 million of letters of credit issued but undrawn. The Secured Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments on the term loan equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term loan from July 2014 to December 2020, with the remaining balance paid at maturity, February 14, 2021.

Borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; (ii) the prime rate of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings is 3.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings under the term loan facility and base rate borrowings and swingline borrowings under the revolving credit facility. During the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the federal funds rate ranged from 0.06% to 0.14%, the prime rate was 3.25% and the one-month LIBOR ranged from 0.17% to 0.19%.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Secured Credit Facilities was 4.6% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, and 4.8% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Secured Credit Facilities, amortization of our term loan facility original issue discount and commitment and other fees related to our Secured Credit Facilities.

As of June 28, 2015, the borrowings under the revolving credit facility were less than 30% of the outstanding commitments; therefore, the springing financial maintenance covenant under our revolving credit facility was not in effect.

Senior Unsecured Debt

Our $255.0 million aggregate principal amount borrowings of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “senior notes”) bear interest at a rate of 8.000% per year and mature on February 15, 2022.

Our obligations under the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our present and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Secured Credit Facilities.

The indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on certain assets; make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; sell assets; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and restrict

dividends from our subsidiaries.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on borrowings under our senior notes was 8.3% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015 and 8.4% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, which included amortization of debt issuance costs and other fees related to our senior notes.

(2)    The 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 includes Bridge Loan debt issuance costs of $4.7 million and interest of $0.2 million.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Secured Credit Facilities and senior notes was 5.5% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, and 6.9% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014. Excluding the impact of $4.9 million of issuance costs and interest relating to the bridge loan facility, our weighted average effective rate would have been 5.6% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014. The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Predecessor Facility for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014 was 1.6%.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The following table presents information on our financial instruments as of the periods presented:

	Successor				Successor
	June 28, 2015				December 28, 2014
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value

Financial Liabilities:
Bank indebtedness and other long-term debt, less current portion	$	994,887	$	989,877	$	998,441	$	974,084

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our Secured Credit Facilities and our senior notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The estimated fair value of our Secured Credit Facilities' term loan and senior notes was determined by using estimated market prices of our outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility and the senior notes, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

During the six months ended June 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, and the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, there were no significant transfers among level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations.

7. Commitments and Contingencies:

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various inquiries, investigations, claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. These matters typically involve claims from customers, employees or other third parties involved in operational issues common to the retail, restaurant and entertainment industries. Such matters typically represent actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, employee benefits, personal injuries and other matters. A number of such claims may exist at any given time, and there are currently a number of claims and legal proceedings pending against us.

In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, the amount of liability with respect to claims or proceedings currently pending against us is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Employment-Related Litigation: On January 27, 2014, former store employee Franchesca Ford filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in San Francisco County Superior Court, California (the “Ford Litigation”). The plaintiff claims to represent other similarly-situated hourly non-exempt employees and former employees of the Company in California who were employed during the period January 27, 2010 to the present. She alleges violations of California state wage and hour laws governing vacation pay, meal and rest period pay, wages due upon termination, and waiting time penalties, and seeks an unspecified amount in damages. In March 2014, the Company removed the Ford Litigation to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, and subsequently defeated the plaintiff’s motion to remand the case to California state court. On May 22, 2015, the parties reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit on a class-wide basis. The settlement would result in the plaintiffs’ dismissal of all claims asserted in the action, as well as certain related but unasserted claims, and grant of complete releases, in exchange for the Company’s settlement payment. The settlement currently awaits the Court’s approval. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. We currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On March 24, 2014, Franchesca Ford and Isabel Rodriguez filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, San Diego Division. The plaintiffs claim to represent other similarly-situated applicants who were subject to pre-employment background checks with the Company in California and across the United States from March 24, 2012 to the present. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the

15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

California Consumer Credit Reporting and Investigative Reporting Agencies Act. On September 23, 2014, the Company reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit on a class-wide basis. The settlement would result in the plaintiffs’ dismissal of all claims asserted in the action, as well as certain related but unasserted claims, and grant of complete releases, in exchange for the Company’s settlement payment. On July 7, 2015, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. We currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On October 17, 2014, former store employee Wiley Wright filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, claiming to represent other similarly-situated salaried exempt current and former employees of the Company in the state of New York during the period October 17, 2008, as well as similarly-situated salaried exempt current and former employees throughout the remainder of the United States during the period October 17, 2011 to the present. The lawsuit alleges that current and former Assistant Managers and Senior Assistant Managers were unlawfully classified as exempt from overtime protections and worked more than 40 hours a week without overtime premium pay in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount in damages. On December 12, 2014, plaintiff moved for conditional certification of the putative class of employees; the Company filed its response to this motion on January 19, 2015. On July 16, 2015, the Court granted conditional certification of a collective group that included only the Assistant Managers and Senior Assistant Managers who worked in the four New York stores where plaintiff worked during his employment with the Company, while permitting plaintiff to obtain further discovery from the Company relating to his original motion. We believe the Company has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and we intend to vigorously defend it. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On October 10, 2014, former store General Manager Richard Sinohui filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Riverside County (the “Sinohui Litigation”), claiming to represent other similarly-situated current and former General Managers of the Company in California during the period October 10, 2010 to the present. The lawsuit alleges current and former California General Managers were unlawfully classified as exempt from overtime protections and worked more than 40 hours a week without overtime premium pay, paid rest periods and paid meal periods, in violation of the California Labor Code, California Business and Professions Code, and the applicable Wage Order issued by the California Industrial Welfare Commission. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount in damages. On December 5, 2012, the Company removed the Sinohui Litigation to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division. On December 30, 2014, the plaintiff petitioned the court to remand the Sinohui Litigation to California state court. On February 26, 2015, the Court overruled the plaintiff’s motion to remand. The Company’s investigation is ongoing. The parties are engaged in discovery. We believe the Company has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and we intend to vigorously defend it. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Litigation Related to the Merger: Following the January 16, 2014 announcement that the Company had entered into the Merger Agreement, four putative shareholder class actions were filed in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, on behalf of purported stockholders of the Company against the Company, its directors, Apollo, Parent and Merger Sub, in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The first purported class action, styled Hilary Coyne v. Richard M. Frank et al. (the “Coyne Action”), was filed on January 21, 2014. The second, styled John Solak v. CEC Entertainment, Inc. et al. (the “Solak Action”), was filed on January 22, 2014. The third, styled Irene Dixon v. CEC Entertainment, Inc. et al. (the “Dixon Action”), was filed on January 24, 2014, and additionally names as defendants Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and the AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. The fourth, styled Louisiana Municipal Public Employees’ Retirement System v. Frank, et al. (the “LMPERS Action”), was filed on January 31, 2014, and additionally names as defendants, Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. (collectively, Coyne, Solak, and Dixon Actions shall be referred to as the “Shareholder Actions”).

Each of the Shareholder Actions alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with their consideration and approval of the Merger Agreement by, among other things, agreeing to an inadequate tender price, the adoption on January 15, 2014 of the Rights Agreement, and certain provisions in the Merger Agreement that allegedly made it less likely that the Board would be able to consider alternative acquisition proposals. The Coyne, Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board was advised by a conflicted financial advisor. The Solak, Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board was subject to material conflicts of interest in approving the Merger Agreement and that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in allowing allegedly conflicted members of management to negotiate the transaction. The Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in

16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

approving the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with the exhibits and annexes thereto, as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Statement”) filed with the SEC on January 22, 2014, which allegedly contained material misrepresentations and omissions.

Each of the Shareholder Actions allege that Apollo aided and abetted the Board’s breaches of fiduciary duties. The Solak and Dixon Actions allege that CEC also aided and abetted such breaches, and the Solak and LMPERS Actions further allege that Parent and the Merger Sub aided and abetted such actions. The LMPERS Action further alleges that Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. aided and abetted such actions.

The Shareholder Actions seek, among other things, rescission of the transactions, damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, and other unspecified relief.

On January 24, 2014, the plaintiff in the Coyne Action filed an amended complaint (the “Coyne Amended Complaint”), and on January 30, 2014, the plaintiff in the Solak Action filed an amended complaint (the “Solak Amended Complaint”) (together, the “Amended Complaints”). The Amended Complaints incorporated all of the allegations in the original complaints, added allegations that the Board-approved Statement omitted certain material information, in further violation of the Board’s fiduciary duties, and requested an order directing the Board to disclose such allegedly-omitted material information. The Solak Amended Complaint also added allegations that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in allowing an allegedly conflicted financial advisor and management to lead the sales process.

On March 7, 2014, the Coyne, Solak, Dixon and LMPERS Actions were consolidated into one action. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. The Company believes the consolidated lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the consolidated matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of the action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On July 21, 2015 a consolidated class action complaint was filed by Twin City Pipe Trades Pension Trust that continued to assert claims against CEC and its former directors; added The Goldman Sachs Group (“Goldman Sachs”) as a defendant; and removed all Apollo entities as defendants (“Consolidated Class Action Petition”). The Consolidated Class Action Petition alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with their consideration and approval of the Merger Agreement by, among other things, conducting a deficient sales process, agreeing to an inadequate tender price, agreeing to certain provisions in the Merger Agreement, and filing materially deficient disclosures regarding the transaction. The Consolidated Class Action Petition also alleges that two members of the Company’s board who also served as the senior managers of the Company had material conflicts of interest and that Goldman Sachs aided and abetted the board’s breaches as a result of various conflicts of interest facing the bank. The Company believes the Consolidated Class Action Petition is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the consolidated matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of the action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On June 10, 2014, Magnetar Global Event Driven Fund Ltd., Spectrum Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., Magnetar Capital Master Fund, Ltd., and Blackwell Partners LLC, as the purported beneficial owners of shares held as of record by the nominal petitioner Cede & Co., (the “Appraisal Petitioners”), filed an action for statutory appraisal under Kansas state law against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The Appraisal Petitioners seek appraisal of 750,000 shares of common stock. The Company answered the complaint and filed a verified list of stockholders, as required under Kansas law. The parties have completed discovery in the case. Following discovery, the scheduling order contemplates dispositive motion practice, followed thereafter, potentially, by a trial on the merits of the Appraisal Petitioners’ claims. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Our effective income tax rate of 49.9% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, 25.0% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, and 59.1% for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of non-deductible costs related to the Merger and Merger related litigation.

Our liability for uncertain tax positions (excluding interest and penalties) was $2.1 million and $1.9 million as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, and if recognized would decrease our provision for income taxes by $1.3 million. Within the next twelve months, we could settle or otherwise conclude income tax audits and/or have expiring statutes of limitations. As such, it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $0.2 million as a result of settlements with certain taxing authorities and expiring statutes of limitations within the next twelve months.

The total accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, was $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets, we include current interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Accrued interest,” current penalties in “Accrued expenses” and noncurrent accrued interest and penalties in “Other noncurrent liabilities.”

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

As used in this report, the terms “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CEC Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide the readers of our Consolidated Financial Statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with (i) our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Periodic Report and (ii) Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015. Our MD&A includes the following sub-sections:

• Executive Summary;

• Overview of Operations;

• Results of Operations;

• Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources;

• Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations;

• Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates;

• Recently Issued Accounting Guidance;

• Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures; and

• Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Executive Summary

In the following MD&A, we have presented the results of operations and cash flows separately for the six months ended June 28, 2015 (the “Successor 2015 period”), the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 (the “Successor 2014 period”), and the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014 (the “Predecessor 2014 period”). The Successor and Predecessor periods have been demarcated by a solid black line.

Second Quarter2015 Overview:

• Total revenues of $212.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to total revenues of $186.6 million in the second quarter of 2014.

• Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $41.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $36.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. For our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures.”

• Net loss of $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to a net loss of $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2014.

• Cash provided by operations was $67.4 million for the Successor 2015 period compared to $16.8 million for the Successor 2014 period and $22.3 million for the Predecessor 2014 period. The increase in the Successor 2015 period was primarily driven by transaction and severance costs incurred in 2014 in connection with the Merger.

Overview of Operations

We currently operate and franchise family dining and entertainment centers under the names “Chuck E. Cheese’s” and “Peter Piper Pizza” in 47 states and 11 foreign countries and territories. Our stores provide our guests with a variety of family entertainment and dining alternatives. Our family leisure offerings include video games, skill games, rides, musical and comical shows and other attractions along with tokens, tickets and prizes for kids. Our wholesome family dining offerings are centered on made-to-order pizzas, salads, sandwiches, wings, appetizers, beverages and desserts.

 __________________

(1) During the three months ended June 29, 2014, the number of new and closed Company owned stores included one store that was relocated.

(2) During the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the number of new and closed Company owned stores included one and two stores, respectively, that were relocated.

(3) During the three and six months endedJune 28, 2015, the number of new and closed franchise stores included one store that was relocated.

(4) During the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 and the six months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the number of new and closed stores included one, one, two and two stores, respectively, that were relocated.

Comparable store sales. We define “comparable store sales” as the percentage change in sales for our domestic Company-owned stores that have been open for more than 18 months as of the beginning of each respective fiscal year or acquired stores we have operated for at least 12 months. Comparable store sales is a key performance indicator used within our industry and is a critical factor when evaluating our performance, as it is indicative of acceptance of our strategic initiatives and local economic and consumer trends.

Revenues. Our primary source of revenues is sales at our Company-owned stores (“Company store sales”), which consist of the sale of food, beverages, game-play tokens and merchandise. A portion of our Company store sales are from sales of value-priced combination packages generally comprised of food, beverage and game tokens (“Package Deals”), which we promote through in-store menu pricing, our website and coupon offerings. We allocate the revenues recognized from the sale of our Package Deals and coupons between “Food and beverage sales” and “Entertainment and merchandise sales” based upon the price charged for each component when it is sold separately, or in limited circumstances, our best estimate of selling price if a component is not sold on a stand-alone basis, which we believe approximates each component’s fair value.

Food and beverage sales include all revenues recognized with respect to stand-alone food and beverage sales, as well as the portion of revenues allocated from Package Deals and coupons that relate to food and beverage sales. Entertainment and merchandise sales include all revenues recognized with respect to stand-alone game token sales, as well as a portion of revenues allocated from Package Deals and coupons that relate to entertainment and merchandise.

30

Franchise fees and royalties are another source of revenues. We earn monthly royalties from our franchisees based on a percentage of each franchise store’s sales. We also receive development and initial franchise fees to establish new franchised stores, as well as earn revenues from the sale of equipment and other items or services to franchisees. We recognize development and franchise fees as revenues when the franchise store has opened and we have substantially completed our obligations to the franchisee relating to the opening of a store.

Company store operating costs. Certain of our costs and expenses relate only to the operation of our Company-owned stores. These costs and expenses are listed and described below:

• Cost of food and beverage includes all direct costs of food, beverages and costs of related paper and birthday supplies, less rebates from suppliers;

• Cost of entertainment and merchandise includes all direct costs of prizes provided and merchandise sold to our customers, as well as the cost of tickets dispensed to customers;

• Labor expenses consist of salaries and wages, bonuses, related payroll taxes and benefits for store personnel;

• Depreciation and amortization includes expenses that are directly related to our Company-owned stores’ property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, game and ride equipment, furniture, fixtures and other equipment;

• Rent expense includes lease costs for Company-owned stores, excluding common occupancy costs (e.g., common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges and property taxes); and

• Other store operating expenses primarily include utilities, repair and maintenance costs, liability and property insurance, CAM charges, property taxes, credit card processing fees, licenses, preopening expenses, store asset disposal gains and losses and all other costs directly related to the operation of a store.

The “Cost of food and beverage” and “Cost of entertainment and merchandise” mentioned above exclude any allocation of (a) store employee payroll, related payroll taxes and benefit costs; (b) depreciation and amortization expense; (c) rent expense; and (d) other direct store operating expenses associated with the operation of our Company-owned stores. We believe that presenting store-level labor costs, depreciation and amortization expense, rent expense and other store operating expenses in the aggregate provides the most informative financial reporting presentation. Our rationale for excluding such costs is as follows:

• our store employees are trained to sell and attend to both our dining and entertainment operations. We believe it would be difficult and potentially misleading to allocate labor costs between “Food and beverage sales” and “Entertainment and merchandise sales”; and

• while certain assets are individually dedicated to either our food service operations or game activities, we also have significant capital investments in shared depreciating assets, such as leasehold improvements, point-of-sale systems and showroom fixtures. Therefore, we believe it would be difficult and potentially misleading to allocate depreciation and amortization expense or rent expense between “Food and beverage sales” and “Entertainment and merchandise sales.”

“Cost of food and beverage” and “Cost of entertainment and merchandise,” as a percentage of Company store sales, are influenced both by the cost of products and by the overall mix of our Package Deals and coupon offerings. “Entertainment and merchandise sales” have higher margins than “Food and beverage sales.”

Advertising expense. Advertising expense includes production costs for television commercials, newspaper inserts, Internet advertising, coupons, media expenses for national and local advertising and consulting fees, partially offset by contributions from our franchisees.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses represent all costs associated with operating our corporate office, including regional and district management and corporate personnel payroll and benefits, depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, back-office support systems and other administrative costs not directly related to the operation of our Company-owned stores.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture governing our senior notes and/or our Secured Credit Facilities (see discussion of our senior notes and Secured Credit Facilities under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt Financing”). Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management to evaluate our performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information about certain trends, material non-cash items and unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items.

Seasonality and Variation in Quarterly Results

31

Our operating results fluctuate seasonally due to the timing of school vacations, holidays and changing weather conditions. As a result, we typically generate higher sales volumes during the first quarter of each fiscal year. School operating schedules, holidays and weather conditions may affect sales volumes in some operating regions differently than others. Because of the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Fiscal year

We operate on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Each quarterly period has 13 weeks, except during a 53 week year when the fourth quarter has 14 weeks. Our 2015 and 2014 fiscal years consist of 53 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the three and six months endedJune 28, 2015 includes results from PPP. As PPP was acquired on October 16, 2014, their results are not included in the prior year Successor or Predecessor periods.

Three months ended June 28, 2015 Compared to Three months ended June 29, 2014

Revenues

Company store sales increased$22.7 million, or 12.3%, to $208.0 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to $185.3 million during the second quarter of 2014. Total company store sales during the second quarter of 2015 include revenues from Peter Piper branded stores of $15.5 million. Total company store sales in the second quarter of 2015 reflect a 3.0%increase in comparable store sales when compared to the second quarter of 2014. Comparable store sales exclude PPP Company-owned stores as we have operated them for less than 12 months. The PPP Company-owned stores have achieved comparable store sales growth for PPP’s comparable store base of 32 company-owned stores. Comparable store sales growth for PPP for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 was 5.3%.

Company Store Operating Costs

The cost of food, beverage, entertainment and merchandise, as a percentage of Total company store sales, was 14.9% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 14.2% in the second quarter of 2014. The second quarter of 2015 includes the addition of PPP Company-owned stores, which have higher cost margins than our existing Chuck E. Cheese’s Company-owned stores.

34

Labor expenses, as a percentage of Total company store sales, were 28.5% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 29.5% in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in labor expenses on a percentage basis in the second quarter of 2015 reflects an increase in revenues that outpaced our increase in labor expenses as we were able to minimize additional labor hours required to serve the increased number of guests visiting our stores.

Depreciation and amortization was $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the basis of our property, plant and equipment increased in the Successor 2014 period. Several assets with an increased basis received short depreciable lives, which contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense in the Successor 2014 period.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense was $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. As a percentage of Total revenues, advertising expense was 6.9% and 5.1% in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The second quarter of 2015 reflects an increase in advertising directed to Moms, advertising to support our new menu launch and advertising agency fees in connection with our transition in the second quarter of 2015 to new advertising agencies for our Chuck E. Cheese’s stores. Advertising expense also increased as a result of PPP, which was acquired in October 2014 and therefore not included in the second quarter of 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $19.0 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. As a percentage of Total company sales, general and administrative expenses were 9.1% and 6.4% in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2015 is due to an increase in legal fees related to Merger and labor-related litigation, PPP integration costs, and incremental general and administrative expenses for PPP, which was acquired in October 2014 and therefore not included in the second quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes

We recorded an effective income tax rate of 43.5% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to an effective income tax rate of 36.5% for the second quarter of 2014. Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of non-deductible Merger-related litigation costs.

Successor 2015 Period Compared to Successor 2014 Period and Predecessor 2014 Period

Revenues

Total company store sales were $469.3 million in the Successor 2015 period, compared to $326.2 million in the Successor 2014 period and $113.6 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. Total company store sales in the Successor 2015 period reflect revenues from Peter Piper branded stores of $31.9 million. Total company store sales in the Successor 2015 period reflect a 1.6%decrease in comparable store sales when compared to the Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period. Comparable store sales exclude PPP Company-owned stores as we have operated them for less than 12 months. The PPP Company-owned stores have achieved comparable store sales growth for PPP’s comparable store base of 32 Company-owned stores. Comparable store sales growth for PPP for the six months endedJune 28, 2015 compared to the six months endedJune 29, 2014 was 6.1%.

Company Store Operating Costs

The cost of food, beverage, entertainment and merchandise, as a percentage of Total company store sales, was 14.6% in the Successor 2015 period, 14.4% in the Successor 2014 period and 14.1% in the Predecessor 2014 period. The Successor 2015 period includes the addition of PPP Company-owned stores, which have higher cost margins than our existing Chuck E. Cheese’s Company-owned stores.

Labor expenses, as a percentage of Total company store sales, were 26.9% in the Successor 2015 period, 26.6% in the Successor 2014 period and 28.2% in the Predecessor 2014 period. The Successor 2015 period reflects an increase in minimum wage rates in certain states over the past year, partially offset by improved labor management.

Rent expense was $48.7 million in the Successor 2015 period, $30.4 million in the Successor 2014 period and $12.4 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. The increase in rent expense in the Successor 2015 period is primarily due to an increase in non-cash rent expense as a result of the acquisition method of accounting and an increase in cash rent from new store development, expansions of existing stores and new stores acquired in the PPP Acquisition.

35

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense was $26.0 million in the Successor 2015 period, $14.7 million in the Successor 2014 period and $5.9 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. As a percentage of Total revenues, advertising expense was 5.5%, 4.5%, and 5.2%, respectively, in the Successor 2015 period, Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period. The Successor 2015 period reflects an increase in advertising directed to Moms, advertising to support our new menu launch, and in the second quarter of 2015 an increase in advertising agency fees in connection with our transition to new advertising agencies for our Chuck E. Cheese’s stores. Advertising expense also increased as a result of PPP, which was acquired in October 2014 and therefore not included in the Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $36.1 million in the Successor 2015 period, $18.8 million in the Successor 2014 period and $8.0 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. As a percentage of Total Company sales, general and administrative expenses were 7.7%, 5.8%, and 7.0%, respectively, in the Successor 2015 period, Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the Successor 2015 period is primarily due to an increase in legal fees related to Merger and labor-related litigation, PPP integration costs, and incremental general and administrative expenses for PPP, which was acquired in October 2014 and therefore not included in the Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period.

Transaction and Severance Costs

Transaction and severance costs were $0.1 million in the Successor 2015 period, $37.5 million in the Successor 2014 period and $11.6 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. The Transaction and severance costs in the Successor 2014 period include transaction costs of $31.5 million related to the Merger, and employee benefits of $6.0 million related to the departure of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer as a result of the Merger. The Transaction and severance costs in the Predecessor 2014 period include $11.1 million in accelerated stock-based compensation costs also related to the Merger.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $34.8 million in the Successor 2015 period, $27.3 million in the Successor 2014 period and $1.2 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. Interest expense for the Successor 2015 and 2014 periods includes amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Secured Credit Facilities and senior notes, amortization of our term loan facility original issue discount, and commitment and other fees related to our Secured Credit Facilities. Interest expense for the Successor 2015 period also includes interest of $5.6 million related to the Sale Leaseback that was completed in the third quarter of 2014. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 5.5% in the Successor 2015 period and 6.9% in the Successor 2014 period. Excluding the impact of $4.9 million of issuance costs and interest relating to the bridge loan facility, our weighted average effective interest rate would have been 5.6% for the Successor 2014 period.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 49.9% in the Successor 2015 period, 25.0% in the Successor 2014 period and 59.1% in the Predecessor 2014 period. Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of non-deductible costs related to the Merger and Merger-related litigation.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Liquidity

We finance our business activities through cash flows provided by our operations. The primary components of working capital are as follows:

• our store customers pay for their purchases in cash or credit cards at the time of the sale and the cash from these sales is typically received before our related accounts payable to suppliers and employee payroll becomes due;

• frequent inventory turnover results in a limited investment required in inventories; and

• our accounts payable are generally due within five to 30 days.

As a result of these factors, our requirement for working capital is not significant and we are able to operate with a net working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets).

Sources and Uses of Cash

The following tables present summarized consolidated cash flow information that we believe is helpful in evaluating our liquidity and capital resources as of and for the periods presented:

	Successor						Predecessor

Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $132.4 million and $111.0 million as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014 includes $7.1 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of undistributed income from our Canadian subsidiary that we consider to be permanently invested.

Sources and Uses of Cash - Successor 2015 Period Compared to Successor 2014 period and Predecessor 2014 period

Net cash provided by operating activities was $67.4 million in the Successor 2015 period, $16.8 million in the Successor 2014 period and $22.3 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. The Successor 2014 period reflects the impact of transaction and severance costs that were expensed in connection with the Merger, as well as an increase in interest expense related to the new debt issued in connection with the Merger. The net cash provided by operating activities in the Predecessor 2014 period reflects the impact of transaction costs expensed in connection with the Merger.

37

Net cash used in investing activities was $40.8 million in the Successor 2015 period, $970.7 million in the Successor 2014 period and $9.7 million in the Predecessor 2014 period. The net cash used in investing activities in the Successor 2014 period relates primarily to consideration paid in connection with the Merger of $946.9 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(4.8) million in the Successor 2015 period, $989.7 million in the Successor 2014 period and $(13.8) million in the Predecessor 2014 period. The cash provided by financing activities in the Successor 2014 period relates primarily to the proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1,011.2 million and the Apollo equity contribution of $350.0 million in connection with the Merger, partially offset by the repayment of the Predecessor facility of $348.0 million.

Debt Financing

Secured Credit Facilities

Our Secured Credit Facilities include a $760.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of February 14, 2021 (the “term loan facility”) and a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of February 14, 2019, which includes a letter of credit sub-facility and a $30.0 million swingline loan sub-facility (the “revolving credit facility”). The Secured Credit Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments on the term loan equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loan from July 2014 to December 2020, with the balance paid at maturity. As of both June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and we had $10.9 million of letters of credit issued but undrawn under the facility.

All borrowings under our revolving credit facility are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties.

On February 14, 2014, we received proceeds on the term loan facility of $756.2 million, net of original issue discount of $3.8 million, which were used to fund a portion of the Acquisition. We paid $17.8 million and $3.4 million in debt issuance costs related to the term loan facility and revolving credit facility, respectively, which we capitalized in “Deferred financing costs, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The original issue discount and deferred financing costs are amortized over the lives of the facilities and are included in “Interest expense” on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; (ii) the prime rate of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%; in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings is 3.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings under the term loan facility and base rate borrowings and swingline borrowings under the revolving credit facility. During the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the federal funds rate ranged from 0.06% to 0.14%, the prime rate was 3.25% and the one-month LIBOR ranged from 0.17% to 0.19%.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Secured Credit Facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.375% per annum to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. We are also required to pay customary agency fees, as well as letter of credit participation fees computed at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings on the dollar equivalent of the daily stated amount of outstanding letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily stated amount of each letter of credit.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Secured Credit Facilities was 4.6% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015 and 4.8% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Secured Credit Facilities, amortization of our term loan facility original issue discount and commitment and other fees related to our Secured Credit Facilities.

Our revolving credit facility includes a springing financial maintenance covenant that requires our net first lien senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed 6.25 to 1.00 (the ratio of consolidated net debt secured by first-priority liens on the collateral to last twelve month’s EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Credit Facilities). The covenant will be tested quarterly when the revolving credit facility is more than 30% drawn (excluding outstanding letters of credit) and will be a condition to drawings under the revolving credit facility that would result in more than 30% drawn thereunder. As of June 28, 2015, the borrowings under the revolving credit facility were less than 30% of the outstanding commitments; therefore, the springing financial maintenance covenant under our revolving credit facility was not in effect.

The Secured Credit Facilities also contain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, and the negative covenants limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on certain assets; make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our

38

capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; sell assets; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; change our lines of business; restrict dividends from our subsidiaries or restrict liens; change our fiscal year; and modify the terms of certain debt or organizational agreements.

All obligations under the Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Parent on a limited-recourse basis and each of our existing and future direct and indirect material, wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations are secured by a pledge of our capital stock and substantially all of our assets and those of each subsidiary guarantor, including capital stock of the subsidiary guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to exceptions. Such security interests will consist of a first priority lien with respect to the collateral.

Senior Unsecured Debt

Our Senior Unsecured debt consists of $255.0 million aggregate principal amount borrowings of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “senior notes”) bearing interest at a rate of 8.000% per year and mature on February 15, 2022. The senior notes are registered under the Securities Act, they do not bear legends restricting their transfer and they are not entitled to registration rights under our registration rights agreement. On or after February 15, 2017, we may redeem some or all of the senior notes at certain redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the senior notes (the “indenture”). Prior to February 15, 2017, we may redeem (i) up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the senior notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a price equal to 108% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or (ii) some or all of the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium set forth in the indenture.

We paid $6.4 million in debt issuance costs related to the senior notes, which we capitalized in “Deferred financing costs, net” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the senior notes and are included in “Interest expense” on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Our obligations under the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our present and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Secured Credit Facilities.

The indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on certain assets; make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; sell assets; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and restrict dividends from our subsidiaries.

Capital Expenditures

We intend to continue to focus our future capital expenditures on reinvestment into our existing Company-owned Chuck E. Cheese’s and PPP stores through various planned capital initiatives and the development or acquisition of additional Company-owned stores. During the first six months of 2015, we completed 107 game enhancements, 14 major remodels and one store expansion, and we opened two new domestic Company-owned Chuck E. Cheese’s stores, including one relocated store. We have funded and continue to fund our capital expenditures through existing cash flows from operations. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2015 totaled approximately $40.2 million.

39

The following table reconciles the approximate total capital spend by initiative to our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented:

	Successor				Predecessor
	Six Months Ended		For the 135 Day Period Ended		For the 47 Day Period Ended
	June 28, 2015		June 29, 2014		February 14, 2014
	(in thousands)
Growth capital spend (1)	$	16,687	$	9,237	$	5,102
Maintenance capital spend (2)	17,036		9,407		4,608
IT capital spend	6,476		4,995		—
Total Capital Spend	$	40,199	$	23,639	$	9,710

__________________

(1)    Growth capital spend includes major remodels, store expansions, major attractions and new store development, including relocations and franchise

acquisitions.

(2)    Maintenance capital spend includes game enhancements, general store capital expenditures and corporate capital expenditures.

We currently estimate our capital expenditures in 2015 will total $85 million to $95 million. These capital expenditures consist of the following: (i) approximately $30 million for maintenance capital which includes game enhancements and general store maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) approximately $15 million for investments in one-time information technology initiatives, which include adding Wi-Fi to all of our stores, enhancing our birthday reservation system, enhancing our financial and HR systems, and introducing a new labor management system; and (iii) approximately $40 million to $50 million for various growth initiatives. We currently expect to open an additional four to six new Company-owned Chuck E. Cheese’s and PPP stores and relocate one Company-owned store in the remainder of 2015. In addition to store openings, relocations and expansions, we expect to increase the number of stores undergoing major remodels and receiving major attractions. We are increasing the number of store remodel projects as part of an effort to re-launch Chuck E. Cheese’s to an entire regional market. We expect to fund our capital expenditures through cash flows from operations and existing cash on hand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of June 28, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements as described in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

For information regarding our contractual obligations, refer to “Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015.

Refer to Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Periodic Report for a description of recently issued accounting guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by management to assess operating performance, is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture and/or the Secured Credit Facilities.

We have provided Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we believe it provides investors with additional information to measure our performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance and understanding certain significant items.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, or cash flows as measures of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

• excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

40

• does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

• does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;

• does not include one-time expenditures;

• excludes the impairment of Company-owned stores or impairments of long-lived assets and gains or losses upon disposal of property or equipment;

• excludes non-cash equity based compensation expense;

• reflects the removal of the non-cash portion of rent expense relating to the impact of straight-line rent and the amortization of cash incentives and allowances received from landlords, plus the actual cash received from landlords incentives and allowances in the period;

• reflects franchise fees received on a cash basis post-acquisition;

• excludes the purchase accounting impact to unearned revenue at the time of the acquisition;

• excludes start-up and marketing costs incurred prior to the opening of new Company-owned stores;

• excludes non-recurring income and expenses primarily related to (i) non-recurring franchise fee income; (ii) severance costs; (iii) employee and other legal claims and settlements; (iv) sales and use tax refunds; (v) miscellaneous professional fees; and (vi) certain insurance recoveries relating to prior year expense;

• includes estimated cost savings, including some adjustments not permitted under Article 11 of Regulation S-X; and

• does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we, the initial purchasers of the senior notes, the current holders of the senior notes or the lenders under the Secured Credit Facilities may consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

41

Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash and non-recurring charges or costs that are deducted in calculating Net income. However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. They can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, certain of these expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Because of these limitations, we rely primarily on our GAAP results and use Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental information.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are exposed to various types of market risk in the normal course of business, including the impact of interest rates, commodity price changes and foreign currency fluctuation.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in the variable interest rates related to borrowings from our Secured Credit Facilities. All of our borrowings outstanding under the Secured Credit Facilities as of June 28, 2015 of $752.4 million accrue interest at variable rates. Assuming the revolving credit facility remains undrawn, each 1% change in assumed interest rates, excluding the impact of our 1% interest rate floor, would result in a $7.5 million change in annual interest expense on indebtedness under the Secured Credit Facilities.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to commodity price changes related to certain food products that we purchase, primarily related to the prices of cheese and dough, which can vary throughout the year due to changes in supply, demand and other factors. We have not entered into any hedging arrangements to reduce our exposure to commodity price volatility associated with such commodity prices; however, we typically enter into short-term purchasing contracts, which may contain pricing arrangements designed to minimize the impact of commodity price fluctuations, and derivative instruments such as futures contracts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price fluctuations. For the three months endedJune 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the average cost of a block of cheese was $1.71 and $2.13, respectively. The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical 10% increase in the average cost of a block of cheese would have been $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months endedJune 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. For the three months endedJune 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, the average cost of dough per pound was $0.48, and $0.50, respectively. The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical 10% increase in the average cost of dough per pound would have been $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months endedJune 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, respectively. For the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014 the average cost of a block of cheese was $1.68 , $2.37 and $2.43, respectively. The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical 10% increase in the average cost of a block of cheese would have been $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, respectively. For the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014 the average cost of dough per pound was $0.48, $0.50 and $0.50, respectively. The estimated increase in our food costs from a hypothetical 10% increase in the average cost of dough per pound would have been $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk associated with changes in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the United States dollar as we operate a total of 14 Company-owned stores in Canada. For the three and six months endedJune 28, 2015 our Canadian stores generated $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of operating loss compared to our consolidated operating income (loss) of $(0.1) million and $44.5 million, respectively.

Changes in the currency exchange rate result in cumulative translation adjustments and are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and potentially result in transaction gains or losses, which are included in our earnings. The low and high currency exchange rates for a Canadian dollar into a United States dollar for the six months endedJune 28, 2015 were $0.782 and $0.862, respectively. A hypothetical 10% devaluation in the average quoted U.S. dollar-equivalent of the Canadian dollar exchange rate during the three and six months endedJune 28, 2015 would have decreased our reported consolidated operating results by $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarterly period covered by this report there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Description of Business

The use of the terms “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” throughout these unaudited notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements refer to CEC Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We currently operate and franchise Chuck E. Cheese’s and Peter Piper Pizza family dining and entertainment centers (also referred to as “stores”) in a total of 47 states and 11 foreign countries and territories. Our stores provide our guests with a variety of family entertainment and dining alternatives. All of our stores utilize a consistent restaurant-entertainment format that features both family dining and entertainment areas with the same general mix of food, beverages, entertainment and merchandise. The economic characteristics, products and services, preparation processes, distribution methods and types of customers are substantially similar for each of our stores. Therefore, we aggregate each store’s operating performance into one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for two periods, Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the accounting periods preceding and succeeding the completion of the merger of Q Merger Sub Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Merger Sub”) controlled by Apollo with and into CEC Entertainment on February 14, 2014 (the “Merger”). The Predecessor and Successor periods have been separated by a vertical line on the face of the Consolidated Financial Statements to highlight the fact that the financial information for such periods has been prepared under two different historical cost bases of accounting. For the purpose of presentation and disclosure, all references to the “Predecessor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger. All references to the “Successor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries, after giving effect to the Merger, for periods subsequent to the Merger. References to “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” relate to the Predecessor for periods prior to the Merger and to the Successor for periods subsequent to the Merger.

In connection with our sale leaseback transaction that occurred in August 2014, the Company assigned a portion of its rights in the resulting purchase and sale agreement to a newly formed special purpose entity, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), created by a Qualified Intermediary to facilitate a like-kind exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The assignment resulted in $12.1 million of the sales proceeds from the transaction being received by the VIE. We included the VIE in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014. In February 2015, we acquired the VIE, along with its capital improvements and remaining cash balance. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the acquired VIE are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has a controlling financial interest in International Association of CEC Entertainment, Inc. (the “Association”), a VIE. The Association primarily administers the collection and disbursement of funds (the “Association Funds”) used for advertising, entertainment and media programs that benefit both us and our franchisees. We and our franchisees are required to contribute a percentage of gross sales to these funds and could be required to make additional contributions to fund any deficits that may be incurred by the Association. We include the Association in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of its variable interests because we (a) have the power to direct the majority of its significant operating activities; (b) provide it unsecured lines of credit; and (c) own the majority of the stores that benefit from the Association’s advertising, entertainment and media expenditures. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the Association are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because the Association Funds are required to be segregated and used for specified purposes, we do not reflect franchisee contributions to the Association Funds as revenue, but rather record franchisee contributions as an offset to reported advertising expenses. Our contributions to the Association Funds are eliminated in consolidation. Contributions to the advertising, entertainment and media funds from our franchisees were $1.1 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, $0.9 million for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and $0.4 million for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014.

The preparation of these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 28, 2015 and for the six months ended June 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, and the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are unaudited and are presented in accordance with the requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our Consolidated Financial Statements include all necessary reclassification adjustments to conform prior year results to the current period presentation.

Consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted: In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). This amendment eliminates the income statement concept of extraordinary items and the requirements for entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. The amendment should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. As of June 28, 2015, we have $22.1 million of net deferred financing costs that would be reclassified from a long-term asset to a reduction in the carrying amount of our debt.

In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendment is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. Early application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods therein. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Liabilities:
Bank indebtedness and other long-term debt, less current portion	$	994,887	$	989,877	$	998,441	$	974,084

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our Secured Credit Facilities and our senior notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The estimated fair value of our Secured Credit Facilities' term loan and senior notes was determined by using estimated market prices of our outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility and the senior notes, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

During the six months ended June 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, and the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014, there were no significant transfers among level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations.

We were in compliance with the debt covenants in effect as of June 28, 2015 for both the Secured Credit Facilities and the senior notes. For further discussion regarding the debt covenants, see Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Unsecured Debt sections below.

Secured Credit Facilities

As of June 28, 2015, we had $752.4 million (excluding the original issue discount) outstanding under the Term loan facility, no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $10.9 million of letters of credit issued but undrawn. The Secured Facilities require scheduled quarterly payments on the term loan equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term loan from July 2014 to December 2020, with the remaining balance paid at maturity, February 14, 2021.

Borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) a London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowings, adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a 1.00% floor in the case of term loans or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%; (ii) the prime rate of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch; and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings is 3.00% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 2.00% with respect to base rate borrowings under the term loan facility and base rate borrowings and swingline borrowings under the revolving credit facility. During the six months endedJune 28, 2015, the federal funds rate ranged from 0.06% to 0.14%, the prime rate was 3.25% and the one-month LIBOR ranged from 0.17% to 0.19%.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Secured Credit Facilities was 4.6% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, and 4.8% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs related to our Secured Credit Facilities, amortization of our term loan facility original issue discount and commitment and other fees related to our Secured Credit Facilities.

As of June 28, 2015, the borrowings under the revolving credit facility were less than 30% of the outstanding commitments; therefore, the springing financial maintenance covenant under our revolving credit facility was not in effect.

Senior Unsecured Debt

Our $255.0 million aggregate principal amount borrowings of 8.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “senior notes”) bear interest at a rate of 8.000% per year and mature on February 15, 2022.

Our obligations under the senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our present and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Secured Credit Facilities.

The indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; create liens on certain assets; make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; sell assets; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and restrict

dividends from our subsidiaries.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on borrowings under our senior notes was 8.3% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015 and 8.4% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, which included amortization of debt issuance costs and other fees related to our senior notes.

(2)    The 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 includes Bridge Loan debt issuance costs of $4.7 million and interest of $0.2 million.

The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Secured Credit Facilities and senior notes was 5.5% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, and 6.9% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014. Excluding the impact of $4.9 million of issuance costs and interest relating to the bridge loan facility, our weighted average effective rate would have been 5.6% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014. The weighted average effective interest rate incurred on our borrowings under our Predecessor Facility for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014 was 1.6%.

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	4,826		$	(8,898	)	$	1,018
Effective rate	49.9		%	25.0		%	59.1		%

Our effective income tax rate of 49.9% for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, 25.0% for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, and 59.1% for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of non-deductible costs related to the Merger and Merger related litigation.

Our liability for uncertain tax positions (excluding interest and penalties) was $2.1 million and $1.9 million as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, and if recognized would decrease our provision for income taxes by $1.3 million. Within the next twelve months, we could settle or otherwise conclude income tax audits and/or have expiring statutes of limitations. As such, it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could decrease by as much as $0.2 million as a result of settlements with certain taxing authorities and expiring statutes of limitations within the next twelve months.

The total accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of June 28, 2015 and December 28, 2014, was $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets, we include current interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Accrued interest,” current penalties in “Accrued expenses” and noncurrent accrued interest and penalties in “Other noncurrent liabilities.”

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various inquiries, investigations, claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. These matters typically involve claims from customers, employees or other third parties involved in operational issues common to the retail, restaurant and entertainment industries. Such matters typically represent actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, employee benefits, personal injuries and other matters. A number of such claims may exist at any given time, and there are currently a number of claims and legal proceedings pending against us.

In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, the amount of liability with respect to claims or proceedings currently pending against us is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Employment-Related Litigation: On January 27, 2014, former store employee Franchesca Ford filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in San Francisco County Superior Court, California (the “Ford Litigation”). The plaintiff claims to represent other similarly-situated hourly non-exempt employees and former employees of the Company in California who were employed during the period January 27, 2010 to the present. She alleges violations of California state wage and hour laws governing vacation pay, meal and rest period pay, wages due upon termination, and waiting time penalties, and seeks an unspecified amount in damages. In March 2014, the Company removed the Ford Litigation to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, and subsequently defeated the plaintiff’s motion to remand the case to California state court. On May 22, 2015, the parties reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit on a class-wide basis. The settlement would result in the plaintiffs’ dismissal of all claims asserted in the action, as well as certain related but unasserted claims, and grant of complete releases, in exchange for the Company’s settlement payment. The settlement currently awaits the Court’s approval. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. We currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On March 24, 2014, Franchesca Ford and Isabel Rodriguez filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, San Diego Division. The plaintiffs claim to represent other similarly-situated applicants who were subject to pre-employment background checks with the Company in California and across the United States from March 24, 2012 to the present. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the California Consumer Credit Reporting and Investigative Reporting Agencies Act. On September 23, 2014, the Company reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit on a class-wide basis. The settlement would result in the plaintiffs’ dismissal of all claims asserted in the action, as well as certain related but unasserted claims, and grant of complete releases, in exchange for the Company’s settlement payment. On July 7, 2015, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. We currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On October 17, 2014, former store employee Wiley Wright filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, claiming to represent other similarly-situated salaried exempt current and former employees of the Company in the state of New York during the period October 17, 2008, as well as similarly-situated salaried exempt current and former employees throughout the remainder of the United States during the period October 17, 2011 to the present. The lawsuit alleges that current and former Assistant Managers and Senior Assistant Managers were unlawfully classified as exempt from overtime protections and worked more than 40 hours a week without overtime premium pay in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount in damages. On December 12, 2014, plaintiff moved for conditional certification of the putative class of employees; the Company filed its response to this motion on January 19, 2015. On July 16, 2015, the Court granted conditional certification of a collective group that included only the Assistant Managers and Senior Assistant Managers who worked in the four New York stores where plaintiff worked during his employment with the Company, while permitting plaintiff to obtain further discovery from the Company relating to his original motion. We believe the Company has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and we intend to vigorously defend it. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On October 10, 2014, former store General Manager Richard Sinohui filed a purported class action lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, Riverside County (the “Sinohui Litigation”), claiming to represent other similarly-situated current and former General Managers of the Company in California during the period October 10, 2010 to the present. The lawsuit alleges current and former California General Managers were unlawfully classified as exempt from overtime protections and worked more than 40 hours a week without overtime premium pay, paid rest periods and paid meal periods, in violation of the California Labor Code, California Business and Professions Code, and the applicable Wage Order issued by the California Industrial Welfare Commission. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount in damages. On December 5, 2012, the Company removed the Sinohui Litigation to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division. On December 30, 2014, the plaintiff petitioned the court to remand the Sinohui Litigation to California state court. On February 26, 2015, the Court overruled the plaintiff’s motion to remand. The Company’s investigation is ongoing. The parties are engaged in discovery. We believe the Company has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and we intend to vigorously defend it. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Litigation Related to the Merger: Following the January 16, 2014 announcement that the Company had entered into the Merger Agreement, four putative shareholder class actions were filed in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, on behalf of purported stockholders of the Company against the Company, its directors, Apollo, Parent and Merger Sub, in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The first purported class action, styled Hilary Coyne v. Richard M. Frank et al. (the “Coyne Action”), was filed on January 21, 2014. The second, styled John Solak v. CEC Entertainment, Inc. et al. (the “Solak Action”), was filed on January 22, 2014. The third, styled Irene Dixon v. CEC Entertainment, Inc. et al. (the “Dixon Action”), was filed on January 24, 2014, and additionally names as defendants Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and the AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. The fourth, styled Louisiana Municipal Public Employees’ Retirement System v. Frank, et al. (the “LMPERS Action”), was filed on January 31, 2014, and additionally names as defendants, Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. (collectively, Coyne, Solak, and Dixon Actions shall be referred to as the “Shareholder Actions”).

Each of the Shareholder Actions alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with their consideration and approval of the Merger Agreement by, among other things, agreeing to an inadequate tender price, the adoption on January 15, 2014 of the Rights Agreement, and certain provisions in the Merger Agreement that allegedly made it less likely that the Board would be able to consider alternative acquisition proposals. The Coyne, Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board was advised by a conflicted financial advisor. The Solak, Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board was subject to material conflicts of interest in approving the Merger Agreement and that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in allowing allegedly conflicted members of management to negotiate the transaction. The Dixon and LMPERS Actions further allege that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in approving the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with the exhibits and annexes thereto, as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Statement”) filed with the SEC on January 22, 2014, which allegedly contained material misrepresentations and omissions.

Each of the Shareholder Actions allege that Apollo aided and abetted the Board’s breaches of fiduciary duties. The Solak and Dixon Actions allege that CEC also aided and abetted such breaches, and the Solak and LMPERS Actions further allege that Parent and the Merger Sub aided and abetted such actions. The LMPERS Action further alleges that Apollo Management VIII, L.P. and AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P. aided and abetted such actions.

The Shareholder Actions seek, among other things, rescission of the transactions, damages, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs, and other unspecified relief.

On January 24, 2014, the plaintiff in the Coyne Action filed an amended complaint (the “Coyne Amended Complaint”), and on January 30, 2014, the plaintiff in the Solak Action filed an amended complaint (the “Solak Amended Complaint”) (together, the “Amended Complaints”). The Amended Complaints incorporated all of the allegations in the original complaints, added allegations that the Board-approved Statement omitted certain material information, in further violation of the Board’s fiduciary duties, and requested an order directing the Board to disclose such allegedly-omitted material information. The Solak Amended Complaint also added allegations that the Board breached its fiduciary duties in allowing an allegedly conflicted financial advisor and management to lead the sales process.

On March 7, 2014, the Coyne, Solak, Dixon and LMPERS Actions were consolidated into one action. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. The Company believes the consolidated lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the consolidated matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of the action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On July 21, 2015 a consolidated class action complaint was filed by Twin City Pipe Trades Pension Trust that continued to assert claims against CEC and its former directors; added The Goldman Sachs Group (“Goldman Sachs”) as a defendant; and removed all Apollo entities as defendants (“Consolidated Class Action Petition”). The Consolidated Class Action Petition alleges that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with their consideration and approval of the Merger Agreement by, among other things, conducting a deficient sales process, agreeing to an inadequate tender price, agreeing to certain provisions in the Merger Agreement, and filing materially deficient disclosures regarding the transaction. The Consolidated Class Action Petition also alleges that two members of the Company’s board who also served as the senior managers of the Company had material conflicts of interest and that Goldman Sachs aided and abetted the board’s breaches as a result of various conflicts of interest facing the bank. The Company believes the Consolidated Class Action Petition is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of the consolidated matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of the action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

On June 10, 2014, Magnetar Global Event Driven Fund Ltd., Spectrum Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., Magnetar Capital Master Fund, Ltd., and Blackwell Partners LLC, as the purported beneficial owners of shares held as of record by the nominal petitioner Cede & Co., (the “Appraisal Petitioners”), filed an action for statutory appraisal under Kansas state law against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas. The Appraisal Petitioners seek appraisal of 750,000 shares of common stock. The Company answered the complaint and filed a verified list of stockholders, as required under Kansas law. The parties have completed discovery in the case. Following discovery, the scheduling order contemplates dispositive motion practice, followed thereafter, potentially, by a trial on the merits of the Appraisal Petitioners’ claims. The Company has accrued for all probable and reasonably estimable losses associated with this claim. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, we currently believe that the final resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for two periods, Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the accounting periods preceding and succeeding the completion of the merger of Q Merger Sub Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Merger Sub”) controlled by Apollo with and into CEC Entertainment on February 14, 2014 (the “Merger”). The Predecessor and Successor periods have been separated by a vertical line on the face of the Consolidated Financial Statements to highlight the fact that the financial information for such periods has been prepared under two different historical cost bases of accounting. For the purpose of presentation and disclosure, all references to the “Predecessor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger. All references to the “Successor” relate to CEC Entertainment and its subsidiaries, after giving effect to the Merger, for periods subsequent to the Merger. References to “CEC Entertainment,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” relate to the Predecessor for periods prior to the Merger and to the Successor for periods subsequent to the Merger.

In connection with our sale leaseback transaction that occurred in August 2014, the Company assigned a portion of its rights in the resulting purchase and sale agreement to a newly formed special purpose entity, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), created by a Qualified Intermediary to facilitate a like-kind exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. The assignment resulted in $12.1 million of the sales proceeds from the transaction being received by the VIE. We included the VIE in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014. In February 2015, we acquired the VIE, along with its capital improvements and remaining cash balance. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the acquired VIE are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has a controlling financial interest in International Association of CEC Entertainment, Inc. (the “Association”), a VIE. The Association primarily administers the collection and disbursement of funds (the “Association Funds”) used for advertising, entertainment and media programs that benefit both us and our franchisees. We and our franchisees are required to contribute a percentage of gross sales to these funds and could be required to make additional contributions to fund any deficits that may be incurred by the Association. We include the Association in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as we concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of its variable interests because we (a) have the power to direct the majority of its significant operating activities; (b) provide it unsecured lines of credit; and (c) own the majority of the stores that benefit from the Association’s advertising, entertainment and media expenditures. The assets, liabilities and operating results of the Association are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because the Association Funds are required to be segregated and used for specified purposes, we do not reflect franchisee contributions to the Association Funds as revenue, but rather record franchisee contributions as an offset to reported advertising expenses. Our contributions to the Association Funds are eliminated in consolidation. Contributions to the advertising, entertainment and media funds from our franchisees were $1.1 million for the six months endedJune 28, 2015, $0.9 million for the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014 and $0.4 million for the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014.

The preparation of these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 28, 2015 and for the six months ended June 28, 2015, the 135 day period endedJune 29, 2014, the 47 day period endedFebruary 14, 2014, and the three months ended June 28, 2015 and June 29, 2014 are unaudited and are presented in accordance with the requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our Consolidated Financial Statements include all necessary reclassification adjustments to conform prior year results to the current period presentation.

Consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015.

Acquisition

The Acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair market values on the Merger date. Fair value measurements have been applied based on assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability. The purchase price allocation could change in subsequent periods, up to one year from the Merger date. Any subsequent changes to the purchase price allocation that result in material changes to our Consolidated Financial Statements will be adjusted retroactively.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted: In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). This amendment eliminates the income statement concept of extraordinary items and the requirements for entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This amendment requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this amendment. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods therein. The amendment should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. As of June 28, 2015, we have $22.1 million of net deferred financing costs that would be reclassified from a long-term asset to a reduction in the carrying amount of our debt.

In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendment is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. Early application is permitted, but only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods therein. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this new guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
