AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 28, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AMC Entertainment® Inc. ("AMCE" or the "Company") is an intermediate holding company, which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiaries, and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. ("AMCEI") and its subsidiaries (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States, Canada, China (Hong Kong), and the United Kingdom.
AMCE is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Parent"), which is owned by J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and certain related investment funds ("JPMP"), Apollo Management, L.P. and certain related investment funds ("Apollo"), affiliates of Bain Capital Partners ("Bain"), The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") and Spectrum Equity Investors ("Spectrum") (collectively the "Sponsors").
On May 20, 2012, Parent and Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate, announced that they signed an agreement pursuant to which Wanda will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Parent. Upon the closing, Parent and the Company will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Wanda (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The transaction is valued at approximately $2.6 billion. The consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Wanda and Parent expect to complete the transaction at the end of August.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in response to the requirements of Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2012. The March 29, 2012 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending March 28, 2013. The Company manages its business under one operating segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense and (5) Gift card and packaged ticket breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Guest Frequency Program: On April 1, 2011, the Company fully launched AMC Stubs, a guest frequency program which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and concessions revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred at retail value as a reduction of admissions and concessions revenues, based on member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, rewards are recognized as revenues at retail value along

with associated actual cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.
Gift Card Breakage Income: Effective March 29, 2012, the Company changed the presentation of gift card breakage income from other income to other theatre revenues, with conforming changes made for the prior year presented.
NOTE 2DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Canada
In July of 2012, the Company sold 6 of its 8 theatres located in Canada. The operations of these 6 theatres have been eliminated from the Company's ongoing operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the related assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, two theatres with 48 screens were sold under an asset purchase agreement to Empire Theatres Limited and 4 theatres with 86 screens were sold under the share purchase agreement to Cineplex, Inc. The total net proceeds from the sales were approximately $1,421,000, and are subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in these agreements. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of these 6 theatres after the disposition. The results of operations of these 6 theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification.

On December 29, 2008, the Company sold all of its interests in Cinemex, which then operated 44 theatres with 493 screens primarily in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area, to Entretenimiento GM de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("Entretenimiento"). As of June 28, 2012, the Company estimates that it is contractually entitled to receive an additional $6,208,000 of the purchase price related to tax payments and refunds. While the Company believes it is entitled to these amounts from Cinemex, the collection

will require litigation, which was initiated by the Company on April 30, 2010. Resolution could take place over a prolonged period. In fiscal 2010, as a result of the litigation, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts related to this receivable and directly charged off the receivable amount as uncollectible. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Cinemex theatres after the disposition. The results of operations of the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

NOTE 3STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
AMCE has one share of Common Stock issued as of June 28, 2012, which is owned by Parent.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, but Parent has adopted a stock-based compensation plan. The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense of $491,000 within general and administrative: other during both of the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011. Compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The Company's financial statements reflect an increase to additional paid-in capital related to stock-based compensation of $491,000 during fiscal 2013. As of June 28, 2012, there was approximately $3,921,000 of total estimated unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements expected to be recognized over a weighted average 2.0 years.

Parent to be issued under the Plan. As of June 28, 2012, approximately 28,580 shares were available for grant under the Plan, including 2,914 shares awarded that have not been granted. The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value method of accounting and has elected to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of "plain vanilla" share option grants, as it does not have enough historical experience to provide a reasonable estimate.
The award agreements, which consisted of grants of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock (time vesting), and restricted stock (performance vesting) to certain of its employees under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, generally have the following features, subject to discretionary approval by Parent's compensation committee:

NOTE 5FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||
Level 2: |
Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |
||
Level 3: |
Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |

Consent Solicitation and Credit Agreement Amendment
The Proposed Acquisition by Wanda will constitute a "change of control" under the indentures governing the Company's outstanding Notes due 2014. If the closing of the Proposed Acquisition occurs, the Company currently intends to retire or redeem all of its outstanding Notes due 2014 at par on the earliest practicable date following the closing, using a combination of cash on hand and funds contributed to the Company by Wanda.
On June 22, 2012, the Company announced it had received the requisite consents from holders of each of its 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019") and its 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the "Notes due 2020) and, together, (the "Notes") for (i) a waiver of the requirement for AMCE to comply with the "change of control" covenant in each of the Indenture governing the Notes due 2019 and the Indenture governing the Notes due 2020 and, together, (the "Indentures") in connection with the Proposed Acquisition (the "Waivers"), including the Company's obligation to make a "change of control offer" in connection with the Proposed Acquisition with respect to each series of Notes, and (ii) certain amendments to the Indentures to reflect the change in ownership going forward by adding Wanda and its affiliates to the definition of "Permitted Holder" under each of the Indentures. The Company entered into supplemental indentures to give effect to the Waivers and certain amendments to the Indentures, which will become operative upon payment of the applicable consent fee immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Acquisition. The holders of each of the Notes due 2019 and Notes due 2020, who validly consented to the Waiver and the proposed amendments, will be eligible to receive a consent fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount at the closing date of the Proposed Acquisition.
On July 2, 2012, the Company entered into a waiver and fourth amendment to its credit agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 (the "Credit Agreement") to, among, other things: (i) waive a certain specified default that would otherwise occur upon the change of control effected by the Proposed Acquisition, (ii) permit AMCE to change its fiscal year after completion of the Proposed Acquisition, (iii) reflect the change in ownership going forward by restating the definition of "Permitted Holder" to include only Wanda and its affiliates under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Proposed Acquisition, (iv) provide for a minimum LIBOR percentage of 1.00%, from, and only after, the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, to the Credit Facility term loans due December 2016 ("Term Loan due 2016"), and (v) provide for an interest rate of L+375 basis points to the Credit Facility term loans due January 2018 ("Term Loan due 2018"), from and only after, the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The current interest rates for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 is 3.25%, which is based on LIBOR, and the interest rates for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2018 is 4.25%, which is based on LIBOR plus 3.25% and is subject to a 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate with respect to LIBOR borrowings.

NOTE 11COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.
United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99 01034 FMC (SHx), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999, the Department of Justice (the "Department") filed suit alleging that the Company's stadium style theatres violated the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged the Company had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines-of-sight comparable to the general public. The Department alleged various non-line-of-sight violations as well.

NOTE 11COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
The Company and the Department reached a settlement regarding the extent of betterments and remedies required for line-of-sight violations which the trial court approved on November 29, 2010. On January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on the non-line-of-sight matters. On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line-of-sight issues under which the Company agreed to remedy certain violations at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently the Company estimates that these betterments will be required at approximately 140 stadium-style theatres. The Company estimates that the total cost of these betterments will be approximately $60,000,000, and through June 28, 2012 the Company has incurred and capitalized approximately $53,329,000 of these costs. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date.
Michael Bateman v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. CV07-00171). In January 2007, a class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Central District of the United States District Court of California (the "District Court") alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACTA"). FACTA provides in part that neither expiration dates nor more than the last 5 numbers of a credit or debit card may be printed on receipts given to customers. FACTA imposes significant penalties upon violators where the violation is deemed to have been willful. Otherwise damages are limited to actual losses incurred by the card holder. On October 11, 2011, the District Court granted final approval of the class action settlement. The settlement did not have a material adverse impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. A Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals from the District Court's final approval order was filed by a putative class member who objected to the class settlement in the district court; the appeal is pending.
In addition to the cases noted above, the Company is also currently a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including an online ticketing vendor, concession suppliers and film distributors), landlords and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Except as described above, management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.
NOTE 12NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, ("ASU 2012-02"). Under this amendment, an entity will have an option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and

circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 will be effective for the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and is effective for the Company in fiscal 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Presentation of Comprehensive Income, ("ASU 2011-05"). This ASU provides companies with an option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two-separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminated the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-05, ("ASU 2011-12"), which defers the requirement within ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. During the deferral entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the issuance of ASU 2011-05. ASU 2011-05 and the deferrals in ASU 2011-12 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 with retrospective application required. The Company adopted these accounting standard updates as of the beginning of fiscal 2013 and included the presentation requirements in its consolidated financial statements as of the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, ("ASU 2011-04"). This ASU will require disclosures regarding transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, disclosures about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 will be effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and was effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2013. See Note 5Fair Value Measurements for the required disclosures.

NOTE 13RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amended and Restated Fee Agreement
In connection with the merger with LCE Holdings Inc., Parent, AMCE and the Sponsors entered into an Amended and Restated Fee Agreement, which provides for an annual management fee of $5,000,000, payable quarterly and in advance to each Sponsor, on a pro rata basis, until the earlier of (i) the twelfth anniversary from December 23, 2004, and (ii) such time as the sponsors own less than 20% in the aggregate of Parent. In addition, the fee agreement provided for reimbursements by AMCE to the Sponsors for their out-of-pocket expenses and to Parent of up to $3,500,000 for fees payable by Parent in any single fiscal year in order to maintain its corporate existence, corporate overhead expenses and salaries or other compensation of certain employees. The Amended and Restated Fee Agreement terminated on June 11, 2007, the date of the holdco merger, and was superseded by a substantially identical agreement entered into by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., AMCE, the Sponsors and Parents' other stockholders.
Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will be entitled to receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of June 28, 2012, the Company estimates that this amount would be $20,924,000.
The fee agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Sponsors against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising in connection with the management services provided by the Sponsors under the fee agreement.
Tax Sharing Arrangement with Parent
Pursuant to its tax sharing arrangement, the Company has recorded $32,500,000 due from Parent related to AMCE tax benefits utilized as part of the consolidated tax return.

Overview
We are one of the world's leading theatrical exhibition companies. During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012, we permanently closed one theatre with 10 screens in the U.S., permanently closed one theatre operated pursuant to a joint venture with 6 screens, temporarily closed two theatres with 19 screens in the U.S. to remodel into dine-in theatres, and classified 6 theatres with 134 screens located in Canada as discontinued operations. As of June 28, 2012, we owned, operated or had interests in 338 theatres and 4,865 screens.
Our Theatrical Exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre concession sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from the AMC Stubs guest frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, breakage income from gift card and packaged tickets sales, on-line ticketing fees and arcade games located in theatre lobbies.
Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors. We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.
Technical innovation has allowed us to enhance the consumer experience through premium formats such as IMAX, 3D and other large screen formats. When combined with our major markets' customer base, the operating flexibility of digital technology will enhance our capacity utilization and dynamic pricing capabilities. This will enable us to achieve higher ticket prices for premium formats and provide incremental revenue from the exhibition of alternative content such as live concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows, opera and other non-traditional programming. Within each of our major markets, we are able to charge a premium for these services relative to our smaller markets. We will continue to broaden our content offerings through the installation of additional IMAX, and ETX (our proprietary large screen format) and the presentation of attractive alternative content.
Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of concession items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in that particular geographic region. Our strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing concessions counters designed for rapid service and efficiency including a guest friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more concessions capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large concessions stands within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the concessions stands. To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of premium food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, alcohol and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, from simple, less capital-intensive concession design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options to rejuvenate theatres approaching the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres, to more efficiently leverage their additional capacity. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We have successfully implemented our dine-in theatre concepts at 8 locations, which feature full kitchen facilities, seat-side servers and a separate bar and lounge area. We plan to continue to invest in one or more enhanced food and beverage offerings over the next three years across 85 to 110 theatres.
30
Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
During fiscal 2012, films licensed from our six largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 83% of our U.S. and Canada admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's films in any given year.
During the period from 1990 to 2011, the annual number of first-run films released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 638 in 2008, according to Motion Picture Association of America 2011 MPAA Theatrical Market Statistics. The number of digital 3D films released annually increased to a high of 45 in 2011 from a low of 0 during this same time period.
We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions, substantial upgrades to seating concepts, expansion of food and beverage offerings, including dine-in theatres, and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and enhanced seat design. We have increased our 3D enabled screens, including ETX 3D enabled screens, by 24 to 2,171 screens and our IMAX screens by 14 to 124 screens since June 30, 2011; and as of June 28, 2012, approximately 47.2% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX 3D enabled screens, and approximately 2.5% of our screens were IMAX 3D enabled screens. We are the largest IMAX exhibitor in the world with a 45% market share in the United States and each of our IMAX local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. On July 16, 2012, we, along with the IMAX Corporation, announced an expansion of our existing joint revenue sharing arrangement to include the installation of 8 confirmed and up to 18 additional IMAX theatres in the United States.
Significant Events
In July of 2012, we sold 6 of the 8 theatres located in Canada. The operations of these 6 theatres have been eliminated from our ongoing operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the related assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale. During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, two theatres with 48 screens were sold under an asset purchase agreement to Empire Theatres Limited and 4 theatres with 86 screens were sold under the share purchase agreement to Cineplex, Inc. The total net proceeds from the sales were approximately $1,421,000, and are subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in these agreements. We do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of these 6 theatres after the disposition. The results of operations of these 6 theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification. We are in discussions with the landlords regarding the ongoing operations at the remaining 2 theatres located in Canada.
On May 20, 2012, Parent and Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese private conglomerate, announced that they signed an agreement pursuant to which Wanda will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Parent. Upon the closing, Parent and the Company will become wholly owned Subsidiaries of Wanda. The transaction is valued at approximately $2.6 billion. The consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Wanda and Parent expect to complete the transaction at the end of August.
On April 6, 2012, we redeemed $51,035,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the "Notes due 2014") at a price of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans (the "Term Loan due 2018"), which was borrowed on February 22, 2012, to pay for the consideration of the
31
Cash Tender Offer plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes due 2014. We recorded a loss on extinguishment related to the Cash Tender Offer of $121,000 in Other expense during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012.
On April 1, 2011, we fully launched AMC Stubs, a guest frequency program, which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and concessions revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and concessions revenues, based on member redemptions. Rewards must be redeemed no later than 90 days from the date of issuance. Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Rewards not redeemed within 90 days are forfeited and recognized as admissions or concessions revenues based on original point of sale. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.
During our launch of AMC Stubs in the prior fiscal year, admissions and concessions revenues were reduced due to the ramp up in membership causing more rewards to be earned than redeemed. AMC Stubs membership has stabilized during the current fiscal year, resulting in a much less pronounced impact on admissions and concessions revenues.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations plus (i) income tax provisions, (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this
33
presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA for incentive compensation purposes.
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 U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

Thirteen Weeks Ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011
Revenues. Total revenues decreased 0.3%, or $1,951,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011. Admissions revenues decreased 2.6%, or $11,957,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to a 4.8% decrease in attendance, partially offset by a 2.4% increase in average ticket prices. Total admissions revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $760,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs and admissions revenues were reduced by deferrals, net of rewards redeemed, of $2,918,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 related to awards accumulated under AMC Stubs. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in attendance from 3D and IMAX film product for which we are able to charge more per ticket than for a standard 2D film. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and before giving effect to the net deferral of admissions revenues due to the AMC Stubs guest frequency program) decreased 2.8%, or $12,939,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 from the comparable period last year, due to decreases in attendance, partially offset by increases in average ticket prices. Concessions revenues increased 0.7%, or $1,289,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011, due to the decrease in net deferral of concession revenues related to the AMC Stubs guest frequency program and a 5.9% increase in average concessions per patron, partially offset by the decrease in attendance. The increase in concessions per patron includes the impact of the decrease in net deferral of concession revenue related to AMC Stubs, concession price increases and the opening of new concession stands with broader and more diverse food and beverage offerings. Total concessions revenues were reduced by a net amount of $1,449,000 and $4,675,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, respectively, related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs and deferred to be recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of guest rewards. Other theatre revenues increased 40.3%, or $8,717,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to increases in membership fees earned through the AMC Stubs guest frequency program and gift card breakage income recognized under the Proportional Method. During the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011, gift card breakage income was recognized under the Remote Method.
Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased 1.9%, or $11,977,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011. Film exhibition costs decreased 3.5%, or $8,770,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to the decrease in admissions revenues and the decrease in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admission revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 53.7% in the current period and 54.2% in the prior period. Concession costs increased 4.9%, or $1,261,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011 due to the increase in concession costs as a percentage of concession revenues and the increase in concession revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 14.1% in the current period compared with 13.6% in the prior period, primarily due to concession cost increases, size increases and a shift in product mix to premium items that generate higher sales and lower percentage margins. As a percentage of revenues,
35
operating expense was 25.5% in the current period as compared to 25.8% in the prior period, primarily due to decreases in theatre salaries and property taxes, partially offset by increases in repairs and maintenance (due to increases in the number of digital projection systems), RealD license fees and IMAX expense. Rent expense increased 0.5%, or $509,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011.
General and Administrative Expense:
Merger, Acquisition and Transaction Costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $308,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to $612,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011.
Management Fees. Management fees were unchanged during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012. Management fees of $1,250,000 are paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.
Other. Other general and administrative expense increased 6.1%, or $876,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011 due primarily to increases in annual incentive compensation expense and pension expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased 6.3%, or $3,257,000, compared to the prior period resulting from theatre closures and the declining net book value of theatre assets.
Other Expense. Other expense for fiscal 2013 is comprised of expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our Notes due 2014 of $121,000. Other expense for fiscal 2012 is comprised of expenses on extinguishment of indebtedness related to the redemption of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 of $42,000 and expenses related to the modification of the Senior Secured Credit Facility of $298,000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was essentially unchanged for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Equity in Earnings of Non-Consolidated Entities. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities were $8,753,000 in the current period compared to equity in earnings of $496,000 in the prior period. The increase in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities was primarily due to equity earnings related to Open Road Releasing, LLC as a result of the DVD film release, The Grey, and increases in earnings from DCIP, partially offset by decreases in earnings and distributions received from NCM. See Note 4Investments for further information.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations was a provision of $400,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and $525,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2011. See Note 7Income Taxes for further information.
Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net. In July of 2012, we sold 6 of the 8 theatres located in Canada. In addition, on December 29, 2008, we sold our operations in Mexico, including 44 theatres and 493 screens. The results of operations of the 6 Canada theatres and the Cinemex theatres have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 2Discontinued Operations for further information.
Net Income. Net income was $18,184,000 and $285,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Net income during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 was positively impacted by the increase in AMC Stubs membership fees earned, the increase in gift card breakage income recognized under the Proportional Method, the decrease in depreciation and amortization, and the increase in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities. Net income was negatively impacted by the decrease in attendance during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012.
36
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and theatre concessions sales. We have an operating "float" which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.
The Proposed Acquisition by Wanda will constitute a "change of control" under the indentures governing our outstanding Notes due 2014. If the closing of the Proposed Acquisition occurs, we currently intend to retire or redeem all of our outstanding Notes due 2014 at par on the earliest practicable date following the closing, using a combination of cash on hand and funds contributed to us by Wanda.
On June 22, 2012, we announced we had received the requisite consents from holders of each of our Notes due 2019 and our Notes due 2020 and, together, (the "Notes") for (i) a waiver of the requirement for us to comply with the "change of control" covenant in each of the Indenture governing the Notes due 2019 and the Indenture governing the Notes due 2020 and, together, (the "Indentures") in connection with the Proposed Acquisition (the "Waivers"), including the Company's obligation to make a "change of control offer" in connection with the Proposed Acquisition with respect to each series of Notes, and (ii) certain amendments to the Indentures to reflect the change in ownership going forward by adding Wanda and its affiliates to the definition of "Permitted Holder" under each of the Indentures. We entered into supplemental indentures to give effect to the Waivers and certain amendments to the Indentures, which will become operative upon payment of the applicable consent fee immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Acquisition. The holders of each of the Notes due 2019 and Notes due 2020, who validly consented to the Waiver and the proposed amendments, will be eligible to receive a consent fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount at the closing date of the Proposed Acquisition.
On July 2, 2012, we entered into a waiver and fourth amendment to our credit agreement dated as of January 26, 2006 (the "Credit Agreement") to, among, other things: (i) waive a certain specified default that would otherwise occur upon the change of control effected by the Proposed Acquisition, (ii) permit us to change our fiscal year after completion of the Proposed Acquisition, (iii) reflect the change in ownership going forward by restating the definition of "Permitted Holder" to include only Wanda and its affiliates under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Proposed Acquisition, (iv) provide for a minimum LIBOR percentage of 1.00%, from, and only after, the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, to the Credit Facility term loans due December 2016 ("Term Loan due 2016"), and (v) provide for an interest rate of L+375 basis points to the Credit Facility term loans due January 2018 ("Term Loan due 2018"), from and only after, the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The current applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2016 is 3.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan due 2018 is 4.25%, which is based on LIBOR plus 3.25% and is subject to a 1.00% minimum LIBOR rate with respect to LIBOR borrowings.
Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction or an initial public offering, each of the Sponsors will be entitled to receive, in lieu of quarterly payments of the annual management fee, a fee equal to the net present value of the aggregate annual management fee that would have been payable to the Sponsors during the remainder of the term of the fee agreement (assuming a twelve year term from the date of the original fee agreement), calculated using the treasury rate having a final maturity date that is closest to the twelfth anniversary of the date of the original fee agreement date. As of June 28, 2012, the Company estimates that this amount would be $20,924,000. As a result of a
37
change of control transaction, the Company would no longer pay the annual management fee of $5,000,000 to the Sponsors.
We believe that cash generated from operations, existing cash and equivalents and funds contributed to us by Wanda will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures and debt retirements for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility and our Notes due 2014, 8.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes due 2019"), and 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the "Notes due 2020").
Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $20,904,000 and $75,327,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 was primarily due to an increase in payments on film rent payables, accounts payables, annual incentive compensation, accrued interest payable, and a decrease in deferred revenues. We had working capital deficit as of June 28, 2012 and March 29, 2012 of $152,050,000 and $177,720,000, respectively. Working capital includes $165,604,000 and $174,355,000 of deferred revenues and income as of June 28, 2012 and March 29, 2012, respectively. We have the ability to borrow against our credit facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments) and could incur indebtedness of $180,402,000 on our Credit Facility to meet these obligations as of June 28, 2012.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $17,015,000 and $51,754,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $19,070,000 and $32,018,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of maintaining our theatre circuit, technology upgrades, strategic growth initiatives and remodels. We expect that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $110,000,000 to $130,000,000 for fiscal 2013.
We made partnership investments (received returns of capital) in non-consolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of approximately $(1,522,000) and $19,509,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
We fund the costs of constructing new theatres using existing cash balances; cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were $74,600,000 and $9,819,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Financing activities consist of construction payables, deferred financing costs, and principal payments under the Notes due 2014, Term Loan and capital and financial lease obligations.
During the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012, we made principal payments of $51,035,000 related to our Notes due 2014 Cash Tender Offer. See Note 9Corporate Borrowings for further information.
38
Reference is made to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital Resources in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2012 for certain information about our Senior Secured Credit Facility, our Notes due 2014, our Notes due 2019, and our Notes due 2020.
Each indenture relating to our notes (Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020) allows us to incur specified permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction. Each indenture also allows us to incur any amount of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the applicable coverage ratio of each indenture, after giving effect to the event on a pro forma basis. Under the indenture for the Notes due 2014 (our most restrictive indenture), we could borrow approximately $330,100,000 (assuming an interest rate of 8.75% per annum on the additional indebtedness) in addition to specified permitted indebtedness at June 28, 2012. If we cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally we can incur, in addition to amounts borrowed under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, no more than $100,000,000 of new "permitted indebtedness" under the terms of the indentures relating to the Notes due 2014.
As of June 28, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2014, the Notes due 2019, and the Notes due 2020.
Investment in NCM LLC
We hold an investment in 15.47% of NCM LLC accounted for following the equity method as of June 28, 2012. The estimated fair market value of these units was approximately $250,675,000, based upon the publically quoted price per share of NCM, Inc. on June 28, 2012 of $14.47 per share. Because we have little tax basis in these units, the sale of all these units at June 28, 2012 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $355,669,000, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. Our investment in NCM LLC is a source of liquidity for us and we expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We have available net operating loss carryforwards which could reduce any related tax liability.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has commitments and contingencies for capital and financing leases, corporate borrowings, operating leases, capital related betterments and pension funding that were summarized in a table in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2012. Since March 29, 2012 there have been no material changes to the commitments and contingencies of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. We maintain a Senior Secured Credit Facility comprised of a $192,500,000 revolving credit facility and Senior Secured Term Loans due 2016 and 2018. The senior Secured Credit Facility permits borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding
39
borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. We had no borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of June 28, 2012 and had an aggregate principal of $768,342,000 outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Loans due 2016 and 2018 as of June 28, 2012. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facility by $1,942,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012.
Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in long-term corporate borrowings are outstanding principal amounts of $140,000,000 of our Notes due 2014, $600,000,000 of our Notes due 2019, and $600,000,000 of our Notes due 2020. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease in the fair value of the Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020 and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020.
Foreign currency exchange rates. We currently operate theatres in Canada and the United Kingdom. As a result of these operations, we have assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes a decrease in the carrying values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in such foreign currencies and the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the respective currencies causes an increase in the carrying values of these items. The increases and decreases in assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also impact the comparability of earnings in these countries on a year-to-year basis. As the U.S. dollar strengthens, comparative translated earnings decrease, and as the U.S. dollar weakens, comparative translated earnings from foreign operations increase. A 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would increase earnings before income taxes by approximately $252,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and decrease accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $9,059,000 as of June 28, 2012. A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies of countries where we currently operate theatres would decrease earnings before income taxes by approximately $308,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2012 and increase accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $11,072,000 as of June 28, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
