NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Regal Cinemas, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the "Company," operates multi-screen motion picture theatres principally throughout the eastern and northwestern United States. The Company formally operates on a fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to December 31. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 1999, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 1, 1999 and April 2, 1998 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 1999 and April 2, 1998 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The December 31, 1998 information has been derived from the audited December 31, 1998 balance sheet of Regal Cinemas, Inc. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K dated March 31, 1999. The results of operations for the three-month period ended April 1, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. 2. RECAPITALIZATION On May 27, 1998, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") and an affiliate of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks Muse") merged with and into Regal Cinemas, Inc., with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the "Merger"). The Merger and related transactions have been recorded as a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization"). In the Recapitalization, the Company's existing shareholders received cash for their shares of common stock. In addition, in connection with the Recapitalization, the Company canceled options and repurchased warrants held by certain former directors, management and employees of the Company (the "Option/Warrant Redemption"). The aggregate amount paid to effect the Merger and the Option/Warrant Redemption was approximately $1.2 billion. The net proceeds of a $400 million senior subordinated note offering, initial borrowings of $375.0 million under its senior credit facilities and the proceeds of $776.9 million from the investment by KKR, Hicks Muse, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. and affiliated funds ("DLJ") and management in the Company were used: (i) to fund the cash payments required to effect the Merger and the Option/Warrant Redemption; (ii) to repay and retire the Company's existing senior credit facilities; (iii) to repurchase the Company's then existing senior subordinated notes; and (iv) to pay related fees and expenses. Upon consummation of the Merger, KKR owned $287.3 million of the Company's equity securities, Hicks Muse owned $437.3 million of the Company's equity securities and DLJ owned $50.0 million of the Company's equity securities. Each investor received securities 5 7 REGAL CINEMAS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED ----------------------------------------------------------------- consisting of a combination of the Company's common stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), and the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value ("Convertible Preferred Stock"), which was converted into Common Stock on June 3, 1998. To equalize KKR's and Hicks Muse's investments in the Company at $362.3 million each, Hicks Muse exchanged $75.0 million of Convertible Preferred Stock, with KKR for $75.0 million of common stock of Act III Cinemas, Inc. ("Act III"). As a result of the Recapitalization and the Act III merger (see Note 3), KKR and Hicks Muse each own approximately 46.3% of the Company's Common Stock, with DLJ, management and other minority holders owning the remainder. During the last three quarters of fiscal 1998, nonrecurring costs of approximately $65.7 million, including approximately $41.9 million of compensation costs, were incurred in connection with the Recapitalization. Financing costs of approximately $34.2 million were incurred and classified as deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the lives of the new debt facilities (see Note 4). Of the total Merger and Recapitalization costs above, an aggregate of $19.5 million was paid to KKR and Hicks Muse. 3. ACQUISITIONS On August 26, 1998, the Company acquired Act III Cinemas, Inc. (the "Act III merger"). Total purchase cost was approximately $312.2 million, representing primarily the value of 60,383,388 shares of the Company's common stock issued to acquire each share of Act III's outstanding common stock and the value of 5,195,598 options of the Company issued for Act III options. In connection with the Act III merger, the Company also amended its credit facilities and borrowed $383.3 million thereunder to repay Act III's borrowings and accrued interest under Act III's existing credit facilities and two senior subordinated notes totaling $150.0 million. The Act III merger has been accounted for as a purchase, applying the applicable provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. Allocation of the purchase price as of April 1, 1999 is as follows:
($'s in thousands) Property, plant and equipment $ 343,694 Long-term debt assumed (411,337) Net working capital acquired (17,167) Excess purchase cost over fair value of net assets acquired 396,967 --------- Total purchase cost $ 312,157 =========

CREDIT FACILITIES (In thousands) -- In connection with the Merger and Recapitalization, the Company entered into credit facilities provided by a syndicate of financial institutions. Such credit facilities, as amended (the "Credit Facilities"), now include a $500,000 Revolving Credit Facility (including the availability of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Letters of Credit) and three term loan facilities: Term A, Term B, and Term C (the "Term Loans"). The Company must pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.2% to 0.425%, depending on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Facilities, of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings of $80,000 were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at April 1, 1999. Such facility expires in June 2005. Borrowings under the Term A Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility can be made at the "Base Rate" plus a margin of 0% to 1%, or the "LIBOR Rate," plus .625% to 2.25%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The Base Rate on revolving loans is the rate established by the Administrative Agent in New York as its base rate for dollars loaned in the United States. The LIBOR Rate is based on the LIBOR rate for the corresponding length of loan. The outstanding balance amounted to $240,000 at April 1, 1999, and one percent of the outstanding balance is due annually through 2004, with the balance of the loan due in 2005. Borrowings under the Term B Loan can be made at the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.25% or the LIBOR Rate plus 2.0% to 2.5%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The outstanding balance amounted to $137,500 at April 1, 1999, and the outstanding balance is due in 2006. Borrowings under the Term C Loan can be made at the Base Rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.5% or the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% to 2.75%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The outstanding balance amounted to $135,000 at April 1, 1999, and one percent of the outstanding balance is due annually through 2006, with the balance of the loan due in 2007. The Credit Facilities contain customary covenants and restrictions on the Company's ability to issue additional debt, pay dividends or engage in certain activities and include customary events of default. In addition, the Credit Facilities specify that the Company must meet or exceed defined fixed charge coverage ratios and must not exceed defined leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with such covenants at April 1, 1999. The Credit Facilities are collateralized by a pledge of the stock of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Company's payment obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by its direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries. 8 10 REGAL CINEMAS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended April 1, 1999 differs from the statutory income tax rate principally due to nondeductible goodwill amortization and the inclusion of state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended April 2, 1998 differs from the statutory income tax rate principally due to the inclusion of state income taxes. The Company's effective tax rates for the three-month period ended April 1, 1999 and April 2, 1998 were 34.9% and 39.0%, respectively. 6. CAPITAL STOCK Earnings per share information is not presented herein as the Company's shares do not trade in a public market. After the Recapitalization, the Company effected a stock split in the form of a stock dividend resulting in a price per share of $5.00, which $5.00 per share price is equivalent to the $31.00 per share consideration paid in the Merger. The Company's common shares issued and outstanding throughout the accompanying financial statements and notes reflect the retroactive effect of the Recapitalization stock split. 7. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial statements to conform with the 1999 presentation. 9 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Regal Cinemas, Inc. (the "Company"), should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein. BACKGROUND OF REGAL The Company has achieved significant growth in theatres and screens since its formation in November of 1989. Since inception through April 1, 1999 the Company has acquired 308 theatres with 2,307 screens (net of subsequently closed locations), developed 99 new theatres with 1,288 screens and added 101 new screens to existing theatres. Theatres developed by the Company typically generate positive theatre level cash flow within the first six months following commencement of operation and reach a mature level of attendance within one to three years following commencement of operation. Theatre closings have had no significant effect on the operations of the Company. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's revenues are generated primarily from admissions and concession sales. Additional revenues are generated by electronic video games located adjacent to the lobbies of certain of the Company's theatres and by on-screen advertisements, rebates from concession vendors, and revenues from the Company's eight entertainment centers which are adjacent to theatre complexes. Direct theatre costs consist of film rental and advertising costs, costs of concessions and theatre operating expenses. Film rental costs are related to the popularity of a film and the length of time since the film's release and generally decline as a percentage of admission revenues the longer a film has been released. Because certain concession items, such as fountain drinks and popcorn, are purchased in bulk and not pre-packaged for individual servings, the Company is able to improve its margins by negotiating volume discounts. Theatre operating expenses consist primarily of theatre labor and occupancy costs. At April 1, 1999, approximately 38% of the Company's employees were paid at the federal minimum wage and, accordingly, the minimum wage largely determines the Company's labor costs for those employees. Future increases in minimum wage requirements or legislation requiring additional employer funding of health care, among other things, may increase theatre operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues. 10 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED The following table sets forth for the fiscal periods indicated the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

11 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 1, 1999 AND APRIL 2, 1998 TOTAL REVENUES -- Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased by 39.5% to $198.3 million from $142.1 million in the comparable 1998 period. This increase was due to a 35.0% increase in attendance attributable primarily to the net addition of 1,359 screens in the last 12 months (853 screens were added August 26, 1998, as a result of the merger with Act III Cinemas, Inc. ("Act III")). Of the $56.2 million net increase in revenues for the period, a $28.0 million decrease was attributed to theatres continuously operated by the Company, a $53.6 million increase was attributed to theatres acquired by the Company, and a $30.6 million increase was attributed to new theatres constructed by the Company. Average ticket prices increased 2.5% during the period, reflecting an increase in ticket prices and a greater proportion of newer multiplex theatres in the 1999 period than in the same period in 1998. Average concession sales per customer increased 2.7% for the period, reflecting both an increase in consumption and, to a lesser degree, an increase in concession prices. DIRECT THEATRE COSTS -- Direct theatre costs increased by 53.2% to $160.7 million in the first quarter 1999 from $104.9 million in the first quarter 1998. Direct theatre costs as a percentage of total revenues increased to 81.0% in the 1999 period from 73.8% in the 1998 period. The increase of direct theatre costs as a percentage of total revenues was primarily attributable to increased occupancy costs resulting from the additional theatre locations associated with the Act III merger and the Company's expansion efforts. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES -- General and administrative expenses increased by 80% to $7.6 million in the first quarter 1999 from $4.2 million in the first quarter 1998. The increase reflects additional costs related to the Act III merger included in the Company's results subsequent to the Act III merger. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 3.8% in the 1999 period from 3.0% in the 1998 period. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION -- Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the first quarter 1999 by 103.8% to $19.5 million from $9.6 million in the first quarter 1998. This increase was primarily the result of theatre property additions associated with the Company's expansion efforts and the Act III merger. OPERATING INCOME -- Operating income for the first quarter 1999 decreased to $10.5 million, or 5.4% of total revenues, from $23.5 million, or 16.5% of total revenues, in the first quarter 1998. INTEREST EXPENSE -- Interest expense increased in the first quarter 1999 to $30.2 million from $4.8 million in the first quarter 1998. The increase was primarily due to higher average borrowings outstanding associated with the recapitalization of the Company and the Act III merger. INCOME TAXES -- The (provision for) benefit from income taxes in the first quarter 1999 was $6.7 million as compared to $(7.3) million in the first quarter 1998. The effective tax rate was 34.8% in the 1999 period as compared to 39.0% in the 1998 period as the 1999 period reflected certain goodwill amortization costs which were not deductible for tax purposes. Both periods also differ from the expected statutory rates due to the inclusion of state income taxes. NET INCOME (LOSS) -- The net loss in the first quarter 1999 was $(12.6) million as compared to $11.3 million net income in the first quarter 1998. Net income (loss) was (6.3)% of total revenues in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to 7.9% of total revenues in the 1998 period. 12 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from cash box office receipts and concession sales, while film rental fees are ordinarily paid to distributors 15 to 45 days following receipt of admission revenues. The Company thus has an operating cash "float" which partially finances its operations, reducing the Company's needs for external sources of working capital. The Company's capital requirements have arisen principally in connection with acquisitions of existing theatres, new theatre openings and the addition of screens to existing theatres and have been financed with equity (including equity issued in connection with acquisitions and public offerings), debt and internally generated cash.

("KKR") and an affiliate of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated ("Hicks Muse") merged with and into the Company (the "Regal Merger"), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. The consummation of the Regal Merger resulted in a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization") of the Company. In the Recapitalization, existing holders of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") received cash for their shares of Common Stock, and KKR, Hicks Muse, DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. and affiliated funds ("DLJ") and certain members of the Company's management acquired the Company. In addition, in connection with the Recapitalization, the Company canceled options and repurchased warrants held by certain directors, management and employees of the Company (the "Option/Warrant Redemption"). The aggregate purchase price paid to effect the Regal Merger and the Option/Warrant Redemption was approximately $1.2 billion. In connection with the Regal Merger and Recapitalization, the Company entered into credit facilities provided by a syndicate of financial institutions. Such credit facilities, as amended (the "Senior Credit Facilities"), now include a $500,000 revolving credit facility (including the availability of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, and Letters of Credit) (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and three term loan facilities: Term A, Term B and Term C (the "Term Loans"). The Company must pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.2% to 0.425% depending on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio, as defined, of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility expires in June 2005. Borrowings under the Term A Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility can be made at the "Base Rate" plus a margin of 0% to 1%, or the "LIBOR Rate," plus 0.625% to 2.25%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The Base Rate on revolving loans is the rate established by the Administrative Agent in New York as its base rate for dollars loaned in the United States. The LIBOR Rate is based on LIBOR for the corresponding length of loan. The outstanding balance amounted to $240,000 at April 1, 1999, and one percent of the outstanding balance on the Term A Loan is due annually through 2004 with the balance of the Term A Loan due in 2005. Borrowings under the Term B Loan can be made at the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.25% or the LIBOR Rate plus 2.0% to 2.5%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The outstanding balance amounted to $137,500 at April 1, 1999, and the outstanding balance is due in 2006. Borrowings under the Term C Loan can be made at the Base Rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.5% or the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% to 2.75%, both depending on the Total Leverage Ratio. The outstanding balance amounted to $135,000 at April 1, 1999, and one percent of the outstanding balance is due annually through 2006, with the balance of the loan due in 2007. Additionally, on May 27, 1998, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Original Notes"). The net proceeds from the sale of the Original Notes, initial borrowings of $375.0 million under the Company's Senior Credit Facilities and $776.9 13 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED million in proceeds from the investment by KKR, Hicks Muse, DLJ and management in the Company were used: (i) to fund the cash payments required to effect the Regal Merger and the Option/Warrant Redemption; (ii) to repay and retire the Company's then existing senior credit facilities; (iii) to repurchase all of the Company's then existing senior subordinated notes (the "Old Regal Notes"); and (iv) to pay related fees and expenses. On August 26, 1998, the Company acquired Act III. In the Act III merger, Act III became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each share of Act III's outstanding common stock was converted into the right to receive one share of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the Act III merger, the Company amended its Senior Credit Facilities and borrowed $383.3 million thereunder to repay Act III's then existing bank borrowings and two senior subordinated promissory notes, each in the aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million, which were owned by KKR and Hicks Muse. On November 10, 1998, the Company issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Tack-On Notes") under the same indenture governing the Original Notes. The proceeds of the offering of the Tack-On Notes were used to repay and retire portions of the Senior Credit Facilities. (The Original Notes and the Tack-On Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Regal Notes".) On December 16, 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2010 (the "Regal Debentures"). The proceeds of the offering of the Regal Debentures were used to repay all of the then outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility and the excess was used for working capital purposes. Interest payments on the Regal Notes and the Regal Debentures and interest payments and amortization with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company. During the three months ended April 1, 1999, the Company opened 10 new theatres with 142 screens. The Company intends to develop approximately 800 screens during fiscal 1999. The Company expects that the capital expenditures in connection with its development plan will aggregate approximately $350.0 million to $400.0 million during 1999. The Company believes that its capital needs for completion of theatre construction and development for at least the next 6 to 12 months will be satisfied by available credit under the Senior Credit Facilities and internally generated cash flow. The Company's Senior Credit Facilities provide for borrowings of up to $1,012.5 million in the aggregate, consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility, which permits the Company to borrow up to $500.0 million on a revolving basis and $512.5 million, in the aggregate, of term loan borrowings under three separate term loan facilities. As of April 1, 1999, the Company had approximately $414.0 million of capacity available under the Senior Credit Facilities. Based on the current level of operations and anticipated future growth (both internally generated as well as through acquisitions), the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities should be sufficient to meet its anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditure, interest payments and scheduled principal payments. The Company's future operating performance and ability to service or refinance the Regal Notes, the Regal Debentures and to extend or refinance the Senior Credit Facilities will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. 14 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED The Regal Notes, Regal Debentures and Senior Credit Facilities impose certain restrictions on the Company's ability to make capital expenditures and limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such restrictions could limit the Company's ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments or to take advantage of business or acquisition opportunities. The covenants contained in the Senior Credit Facilities and/or the indentures governing the Regal Notes and the Regal Debentures also, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to dispose of assets, repay indebtedness or amend other debt instruments, pay distributions, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make loans or advances and make acquisitions. INFLATION; ECONOMIC DOWNTURN The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In times of recession, attendance levels experienced by motion picture exhibitors may be adversely affected. For example, revenues declined for the industry in 1990 and 1991. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS During fiscal 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") released EITF Issue No. 97-10, The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction. The EITF addresses how an entity (lessee) that is involved with the construction of an asset that the entity subsequently plans to lease when construction is completed should determine whether it should be considered the owner of that asset during the construction period. The Task Force reached a consensus that a lessee should be considered the owner of a real estate project during the construction period if the lessee has substantially all of the construction period risk. As the Company's construction project agreements are currently structured, management believes the Company would be considered the owner of certain pending construction projects. As a result, management believes the Company may be required to reflect these lease agreements as on balance sheet financing transactions. The EITF is applicable to all construction projects committed to subsequent to May 21, 1998 and to all construction projects committed to on May 21, 1998 if construction does not commence prior to December 31, 1999. The Company is currently pursuing various alternatives including the amendment of certain existing construction project agreements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of EITF Issue 97-10 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative and Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes a new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities based on these fundamental principles: (i) derivatives represent assets and liabilities that should be recognized at fair value on the balance sheet; (ii) derivative gains and losses do not represent liabilities or assets and, therefore, should not be reported on the balance sheet as deferred credits or deferred debits; and (iii) special hedge accounting should be provided only for transactions that meet certain specified criteria, which include a requirement that the change in the fair value of the derivative be highly effective in offsetting the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS No. 133 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. During fiscal 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use ("SOP 98-1") and SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-1 requires companies to capitalize certain internal-use software costs once certain criteria are met. SOP 98-5 requires 15 17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED costs of start-up activities to be expensed when incurred. Adoption of these statements did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. SEASONALITY The Company's revenues are usually seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most marketable motion pictures are released during the summer and the Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on the Company's results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced in recent years as studios have begun to release major motion pictures somewhat more evenly throughout the year. YEAR 2000 - STATE OF READINESS Potential Impact on the Company. The failure of information technology ("IT") and embedded, or "non-IT" systems, because of the Year 2000 issue or otherwise could adversely affect the Company's operations. If not corrected, many computer-based systems and theatre equipment, such as air conditioning systems and fire and sprinkler systems, could encounter difficulty differentiating between the year 1900 and the year 2000 and interpreting other dates, resulting in system malfunctions, corruption of date or system failure. Additionally, the Company relies upon outside third parties ("business partners") to supply many of the products and services that it needs in its business. Such products include films which it exhibits and concession products which it sells. Attendance at the Company's theatres could be severely impacted if one or more film producers are unable to produce new films because of Year 2000 issues. The Company could suffer other business disruptions and loss of revenues if any other types of material business partners fail to supply the goods or services necessary for the Company's operations. IT Systems. The Company utilizes a weighted methodology to evaluate the readiness of its corporate and theatre level IT systems. For this purpose, corporate and theatre system types include commercial off-the-shelf software, custom in-house developed software, ticketing system software, concession system software and hardware systems such as workstations and servers. The Company has weighted each corporate and theatre system based on its overall importance to the organization. The Company's readiness is evaluated in terms of a five-phase process utilized in the Year 2000 strategic plan (the "Plan") with appropriate weighting given to each phase based on its relative importance to IT system Year 2000 readiness. The phases may generally be described as follows: (i) develop company-wide awareness; (ii) inventory and assess internal systems and business partners and develop contingency plans for systems that cannot be renovated; (iii) renovate critical systems and contact material business partners; (iv) validate and test critical systems, analyze responses from critical business partners and develop contingency plans for non-compliant partners; and (v) implement renovated systems and contingency plans. The Company has placed a high level of importance on its corporate and theatre software systems and a lesser degree of importance on its hardware systems when evaluating Year 2000 readiness. As a result, the Company has focused more of its initial efforts toward Year 2000 readiness with respect to its software systems than it has with respect to its hardware systems. Additionally, the Company believes that the assessment, validation and testing and implementation phases are the most important phases in the Plan. Based on the weighting methodology described above, the Company has assessed all of its corporate IT systems and, as of April 1, 1999, has renovated 95% of those systems that require renovation as a result 16 18 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED of the Year 2000 issue. In the aggregate, as of April 1, 1999, 95% of the Company's corporate IT systems have been tested and verified as being Year 2000 ready. The percentage of corporate IT systems that has been tested and verified as being Year 2000 ready assumes that a significant component of commercial-off- the-shelf software, the Global Software, Inc. financial applications, is Year 2000 ready. This system was warranted to be Year 2000 ready when purchased. Although the Company has plans to test and verify Global Software, Inc.'s financial applications to validate that the implementation is in fact Year 2000 ready, it does not believe that it has a significant risk with respect to such software. Based on the weighting methodology described above, the Company has also assessed all of its theatre IT systems and, as of April 1, 1999, has renovated 85% of those systems that require renovation as a result of the Year 2000 issue. In the aggregate, as of April 1, 1999, 85% of the Company's theatre IT systems have been tested and verified as being Year 2000 ready. Overall, the Company has assessed the Plan with respect to IT systems as being 95% complete as of April 1, 1999. Although, no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that it has material exposure to the Year 2000 issue with respect to its internal IT systems. Non-IT Systems. The Company is in the process of identifying and assessing potential Year 2000 readiness risks associated with its non-IT systems and with systems of its business partners. Based on budgeted and expended personnel hours, assessment of the Company's non-IT systems and with systems of its business partners was substantially complete as of December 31, 1998. Costs. Although a definitive estimate of costs associated with required modifications to address the Year 2000 issue cannot be made until the Company has at least completed the assessment phase of the Plan, management presently does not expect such costs to be material to the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The total amount expended from January 1, 1996 through April 1, 1999, was approximately $1,500,000. Based on information presently known, the total amount expected to be expended on the Year 2000 effort for IT systems is approximately $2,500,000, primarily comprised of software upgrades and replacement costs, internal personnel hours and consulting costs. To date, the Year 2000 effort has been funded primarily from the existing IT budget. The following special factors could affect the Company's ability to be Year 2000 ready: (i) the Company's ability to implement the Plan; (ii) cooperation and participation by business partners; (iii) the availability and cost of trained personnel and the ability to recruit and retain them; and (iv) the ability to locate all system coding requiring correction. 17 19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Rate Sensitivity. The table below provides information about the Company's derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The Company's fixed rate obligations consist primarily of $600 million senior subordinated notes due June 1, 2008 and $200 million senior subordinated debentures due December 15, 2010. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date. ($'s in thousands) DEBT OBLIGATIONS:
