NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) are leaders in the motion picture
exhibition industry in terms of both revenues and the number of screens in operation, with theatres
in the United States (U.S.), Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras,
El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. The Company also managed theatres in the
U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. was formed as the Delaware holding company of
Cinemark, Inc. On August 7, 2006, the Cinemark, Inc. stockholders entered into a share exchange
agreement pursuant to which they agreed to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for an
equal number of shares of common stock of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (Cinemark Share Exchange). The
Cinemark Share Exchange was completed on October 5, 2006 and facilitated the acquisition of Century
Theatres, Inc. (Century Acquisition) on that date. On October 5, 2006, Cinemark, Inc. became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements are reflective of the change in reporting entity that occurred as a result of
the Cinemark Share Exchange. Cinemark Holdings, Inc.s condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect the accounting basis of its stockholders for all periods presented.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the
opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to
state fairly the financial position and results of operations as of, and for, the periods
indicated. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company controls are consolidated while those
subsidiaries of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for
as affiliates under the equity method. Those subsidiaries of which the Company owns less than 20%
are generally accounted for as affiliates under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to
have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company
would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and
affiliates are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements effective with their
formation or from their dates of acquisition. Significant intercompany balances and transactions
are eliminated in consolidation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2006, included in the Prospectus filed April 24, 2007 by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1)
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the 424(b)(1) Prospectus), as amended. Operating results for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved
for the full year.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Among other
requirements, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The
statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured
at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Adoption of
this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected
financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company
beginning January 1, 2008. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact
on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Initial Public Offering
On April 24, 2007, the Company completed its initial public offering. The Company sold
13,888,889 shares of its common stock and selling stockholders sold an additional 14,111,111 shares
of common stock at a price of $17.955 ($19 per share less underwriting discounts). The net proceeds
(before expenses) received by the Company were $249,375 and the Company paid approximately $3,526
in legal, accounting and other fees, all of which are recorded in additional paid-in-capital. The
selling stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional
2,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $17.955 ($19 per share less
underwriting discounts). On May 21, 2007, the underwriters purchased an additional 269,100 shares
from the selling stockholders pursuant to this option. The Company did not receive any proceeds
from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. The Company has utilized a portion of the net
proceeds that it received from the offering to repurchase a portion of its outstanding 9 3/4% senior
discount notes. See Note 11. The Company expects to continue to use the net proceeds to repurchase
a portion of the remaining 9 3/4% senior discount notes or repay debt outstanding under the senior
secured credit facility. The 9 3/4% senior discount notes are not currently subject to repurchase at
the Companys option. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to repurchase the 9 3/4% senior discount
notes at acceptable prices, the Company expects to use a portion of the remaining net proceeds to
repay term loan debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. The Company has
significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the initial public offering. The Company
has invested the remaining net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade marketable securities or
money market obligations.
4. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average
number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding determined under the
treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share (shares in thousands):
Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

Common equivalent shares for stock options of approximately 2,220 were excluded from the
diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2007 because
they were anti-dilutive.

5. Acquisition of Century Theatres, Inc. and Related Refinancing of Certain Long-Term Debt
On October 5, 2006, the Company acquired Century Theatres, Inc. (Century), a national
theatre chain headquartered in San Rafael, California with approximately 77 theatres in 12 states,
for a purchase price of approximately $681,225 and the assumption of approximately $360,000 of debt
of Century (Century Acquisition). Of the total purchase price, $150,000 consisted of the issuance
of shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.s common stock. The Company also incurred approximately $7,448
in transaction costs.
The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The following table represents an allocation of purchase
price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Current assets (1) |
$ | 32,635 | ||
Fixed assets (2) |
548,451 | |||
Goodwill (2) |

Current liabilities |
(74,488 | ) | ||
Other long term liabilities (2) |
(229,957 | ) | ||
Total |
$ | 1,048,673 | ||
(1) | Includes cash of $7,290. | |
(2) | During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company adjusted its preliminary purchase price allocation to fixed assets (increase of $29,398), goodwill (decrease of $18,110) and other long term liabilities (increase of $11,288) due to additional information obtained regarding the fair value of these assets and liabilities acquired. |
The tradename and net unfavorable leases are presented as intangible assets on the Companys
condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2007. Goodwill
represents the excess of the costs of acquiring Century over amounts assigned to assets acquired,
including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recorded as a
result of the Century Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
On October 5, 2006, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility, which
provided for a $1,120,000 term loan and a $150,000 revolving credit line. The net proceeds of the
new term loan were used to fund a portion of the $531,225 cash portion of the purchase price, to
pay off approximately $360,000 under Centurys existing senior credit facility and to refinance
$253,500 under the Companys existing senior secured credit facility. The Company used
approximately $53,000 of its existing cash to fund the payment of the remaining portion of the
purchase price and related transaction expenses. Additionally, the Company advanced approximately
$17,000 of cash to Century to satisfy working capital obligations.
The Century Acquisition is reflected in the Companys condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the period subsequent to the transaction date and is reported in the Companys U.S.
operating segment.
6. Investment in National CineMedia and Transaction Related to its Initial Public Offering
In March 2005, Regal Entertainment Inc. (Regal) and AMC Entertainment Inc. (AMC) formed
National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM, and on July 15, 2005, the Company joined NCM, as one of the
founding members. NCM operates the largest digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing
cinema advertising and non-film events and combines the cinema advertising and non-film events
businesses of the three largest motion picture companies in the U.S. Upon joining NCM, the Company
and NCM entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising,
promotion and event services to the Companys theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia,
Inc., or NCM, Inc., a newly formed entity that now serves as a member and the sole manager of NCM,
completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with the NCM, Inc. initial
public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement with NCM and the Exhibitor Services
Agreement pursuant to which NCM

provides advertising, promotion and event services to the Companys
theatres. In connection with NCM Inc.s initial public offering and the transactions described
below (the NCM Transaction),
the Company received an aggregate of $389,003.
Prior to pricing the initial public offering of NCM Inc., NCM completed a recapitalization
whereby (1) each issued and outstanding Class A unit of NCM was split into 44,291 Class A units,
and (2) following such split of Class A Units, each issued and outstanding Class A Unit was
recapitalized into one common unit and one preferred unit. As a result, the Company received
14,159,437 common units and 14,159,437 preferred units. All existing preferred units of NCM, or
55,850,951 preferred units, held by Regal, AMC and the Company were redeemed on a pro-rata basis on
February 13, 2007. NCM utilized the proceeds of its new $725,000 term loan facility and a portion
of the proceeds it received from NCM, Inc. from its initial public offering to redeem all of its
outstanding preferred units. Each preferred unit was redeemed for $13.7782 and the Company received
approximately $195,092 as payment in full for redemption of all of the Companys preferred units in
NCM. Upon payment of such amount, each preferred unit was cancelled and the holders of the
preferred units ceased to have any rights with respect to the preferred units.
At the closing of the initial public offering, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option to purchase additional shares of common stock of NCM, Inc. at the initial public offering
price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the over-allotment option
exercise, Regal, AMC and the Company each sold to NCM, Inc. common units of NCM on a pro-rata basis
at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and expenses. The Company sold
1,014,088 common units to NCM, Inc. for proceeds of $19,910, and upon completion of this sale of
common units, the Company owned 13,145,349 common units of NCM. The net proceeds of $215,002 from
the above described stock transactions were applied against the Companys existing investment basis
in NCM of $4,069 until such basis was reduced to $0 with the remaining $210,933 of proceeds net of
$160 of transaction related costs, recorded as a gain of $210,773 in the condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
NCM also paid the Company a portion of the proceeds it received from NCM, Inc. in the initial
public offering for agreeing to modify NCMs payment obligation under the prior Exhibitor Services
Agreement. The modification agreed to by the Company reflects a shift from circuit share expense
under the prior Exhibitor Services Agreement, which obligated NCM to pay the Company a percentage
of revenue, to the monthly theatre access fee described below. The theatre access fee will
significantly reduce the contractual amounts paid to the Company by NCM. In exchange for the
Company agreeing to so modify the agreement, NCM paid the Company approximately $174,001 upon
modification of the Exhibitor Services Agreement on February 13, 2007, the proceeds of which were
recorded as deferred revenue on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company
believes this payment approximates the fair value of the Exhibitor Services Agreement modification.
The deferred revenue is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using
the units of revenue method. Regal and AMC similarly amended their exhibitor service agreements
with NCM.
In consideration for NCMs exclusive access to the Companys theatre attendees for on-screen
advertising and use of off-screen locations within the Companys theatres for the lobby
entertainment network and lobby promotions, the Company will receive a monthly theatre access fee
under the Exhibitor Services Agreement. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed payment per
patron, initially seven cents, and a fixed payment per digital screen, which may be adjusted for
certain enumerated reasons. The payment per theatre patron will increase by 8% every five years,
with the first such increase taking effect after the end of fiscal 2011, and the payment per
digital screen, initially eight hundred dollars per digital screen per year, will increase annually
by 5%, beginning after 2007. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to Regal, AMC and the
Company will not be less than 12% of NCMs Aggregate Advertising Revenue (as defined in the
Exhibitor Services Agreement), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment.
Additionally, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to the Companys beverage
concessionaire, the Company is required to purchase such time from NCM at a negotiated rate. The
Exhibitor Services Agreement has, except with respect to certain limited services, a term of 30
years.
Prior to the initial public offering of NCM Inc. common stock, the Companys ownership
interest in NCM was approximately 25% and subsequent to the completion of the offering the Company
held a 14% interest in NCM. Subsequent to NCM, Inc.s initial public offering, the Company
continues to account for its investment in NCM under the equity method of accounting due to its
ability to exercise significant control over NCM. The Company has substantial rights as a founding
member, including the right to designate a total of two nominees to the ten-member board of
directors of NCM Inc., the sole manager. So long as the Company owns at least 5% of NCMs
membership interests, approval of at

least 90% (80% if the board has less than 10 directors) will
be required before NCM, Inc. may take certain actions including but not limited to mergers and
acquisitions, issuance of common or preferred shares, approval of NCM, Inc.s budget, incurrence of
indebtedness, entering into or terminating material agreements, and modifications to its
articles of incorporation or bylaws. Additionally, if any of the Companys director designees are
not appointed to the Board of Directors of NCM, Inc., nominated by NCM, Inc. or elected by NCM,
Inc.s stockholders, then the Company (so long as the Company continues to own at least 5% of NCMs
membership interest) will be entitled to approve certain actions of NCM including without
limitation, approval of the budget, incurrence of indebtedness, consummating or amending material
agreements, approving dividends, amending the NCM operating agreement, hiring or termination of the
chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer or chief marketing
officer of NCM and the dissolution or liquidation of NCM.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded equity losses
of $1,284 and $1,889, respectively. The Company recognized $5,021 and $18,833 of other revenue from
NCM during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company had a
receivable due from NCM of $144 and $13,386 as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively, related to screen advertising and other ancillary revenue. The Company is entitled to
receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, the Company received distributions of approximately $4,392 and $5,754,
respectively, which were in excess of the carrying value of its investment in NCM and are reflected
as distributions from NCM on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned 13,145,349 common units of NCM. Each common unit
is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the fair market
value of the Companys shares in NCM was approximately $294,456 based on a closing price of $22.40
per share of NCM, Inc. common stock on September 28, 2007.
7. Investment in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners
On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal entered into a joint venture known as Digital
Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (DCIP) to explore the possibility of implementing digital
cinema in the Companys theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for
the implementation and financing of digital cinema. DCIP has also entered into a digital cinema
services agreement with NCM for purposes of assisting DCIP in the development of digital cinema
systems. Future digital cinema developments will be managed by DCIP, subject to the Companys
approval along with the Companys partners, AMC and Regal. During the nine months ended September
30, 2007, the Company invested $1,500 for a one-third ownership interest in DCIP. The Company is
accounting for its investment in DCIP under the equity method of accounting. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded equity losses of approximately $382 and
$617, respectively, relating to this investment. The Companys investment basis in DCIP was $883 at
September 30, 2007, which is included in investments in and advances to affiliates on the condensed
consolidated balance sheet.
8. Sale of Investment in Fandango, Inc.
In May 2007, Fandango, Inc., an on-line ticketing distributor, executed a merger agreement,
which resulted in the Company selling its investment in stock of Fandango, Inc. for approximately
$14,147 of consideration (the Fandango Transaction). Approximately $1,390 of the consideration is
in escrow to secure certain indemnification obligations contained in the merger agreement, which is
included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company paid
$2,800 of the cash consideration to Syufy Enterprises, LP in accordance with the terms of
agreements entered into as part of the Century Acquisition. The carrying value of the Companys
investment in stock of Fandango, Inc. was $2,142. As a result of the sale of its investment, the
Company recorded a gain of $9,205 in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007.
As part of the sale of its investment in stock of Fandango, Inc., the Company amended its
exclusive ticketing and distribution agreement with Fandango, Inc. Certain sections of the
agreement were modified in which the Company no longer is entitled to receive additional shares of
stock in Fandango, Inc. nor share in future adjusted profits of Fandango, Inc. In exchange for the
amendment, Fandango, Inc. paid the Company $5,000. The proceeds of $5,000 were recorded as
deferred revenue on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized
straight-line over the term of the amended ticketing and distribution agreement, which expires in
December 2011.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
In accordance with the terms of its new senior secured credit facility, the Company used
approximately $9,914 of the net
proceeds to pay down its term loan. The payment was made on August 10, 2007 and was applied
against the current portion of long-term debt.
9. Income Taxes
On May 18, 2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation to replace the current franchise tax
with a new margin tax to be effective January 1, 2008. The Company estimates the new margin tax
will not have a significant impact on its income tax expense or its deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized
an increase to its liability for uncertain tax positions of approximately $1,093, which was
accounted for as a cumulative effect on beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2007. At the
adoption date, the Company had approximately $12,084 of total unrecognized tax benefits. Of this
total, $7,931 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would
favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.
The Companys practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters
in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had $1,572 accrued for interest and/or
penalties.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction, and multiple state and foreign jurisdictions, and the Company is routinely under
audit by many different tax authorities. Management believes that its accrual for tax liabilities
is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past
experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and
may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. The Company is no longer subject to
income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2002. The Company is no
longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions
for years before 2002. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax
authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 1998.
Income tax expense of $60,054 and $69,764 was recorded for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate was 163.8%% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 32.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Income tax provisions
for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for
the effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items occurring during the interim period. As a
result of the full inclusion in the interim rate calculation of these items, the interim rate may
vary significantly from the normalized annual rate. The Companys income tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 includes the impact of the gain on the NCM transaction and the
Fandango transaction as discreet items. The tax rate on the gains was 38.3%, which resulted in
$84,310 of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The tax rate without
the NCM Transaction and the Fandango Transaction is 193.1% resulting in a benefit of $14,546 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This rate is reflective of permanent differences such as
goodwill impairment, which is recorded for financial statement purposes but not deductible for
income tax purposes.
10. Stock Options
During September 2004, Cinemark, Inc.s board of directors approved the 2004 Long Term
Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), under which 9,097,360 shares of Class A common stock are
available for issuance to selected employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 2004
Plan provided for restricted share grants, incentive option grants and nonqualified option grants.
On September 30, 2004, Cinemark, Inc. granted options to purchase 6,986,731 shares of its
common stock under the 2004 Plan at an exercise price of $7.63 per option (equal to the market
value at the date of grant). Options to purchase 692,976 shares vested immediately and the
remaining options granted in 2004 vest daily over the period ending April 1, 2009 and expire ten
years from the grant date. On January 28, 2005, the Company granted options to purchase 12,055
shares of its common stock under the 2004 Plan at an exercise price of $7.63 per option (equal to
the market value at the date of grant). The options granted during January 2005 vest daily over
five years and the options expire ten years from the grant date.

On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. was formed as the Delaware holding company of
Cinemark, Inc. Under a share exchange agreement dated August 7, 2006, each outstanding share of
Cinemark, Inc.s common stock was exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of Cinemark
Holdings, Inc. common stock. The share exchange was completed on October 5, 2006.
In November 2006, the Companys board of directors amended the 2004 Plan to provide that no
additional awards may be granted under the 2004 Plan. At that time, the board of directors and the
majority of its stockholders approved the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan
(the 2006 Plan) and all options to purchase shares of Cinemark, Inc.s common stock under the
2004 Plan were exchanged for an equal number of options to purchase shares of Cinemark Holdings,
Inc.s common stock under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is substantially similar to the 2004 Plan.
All stock option information has been adjusted to give effect to a 2.9585-for-1 stock split
effected by the Company on April 9, 2007.
A summary of Plan activity and related information for the year ended December 31, 2006 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is as follows:

The Company recorded compensation expense of $2,165 and a tax benefit of approximately
$831 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and recorded compensation expense of $2,148
and a tax benefit of approximately $753 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of
September 30, 2007, the unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options was
$4,296 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be
recognized is approximately 1.5 years. All options outstanding at September 30, 2007 have an
average remaining contractual life of approximately 7 years.
During September 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 for purposes of

11. Early Retirement of Long-Term Debt
On March 6, 2007, the Company commenced an offer to purchase for cash, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, any
and all of its 9% senior subordinated notes, of which $332,250 aggregate principal amount remained
outstanding. In connection with the tender offer, the Company solicited consents for certain
proposed amendments to the indenture to remove substantially all restrictive covenants and certain
events of default provisions. On March 20, 2007, the early settlement date, approximately $332,000
aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior subordinated notes were tendered and repurchased by the
Company for approximately $360,164, including accrued interest and premiums paid. The Company
funded the repurchase with the net proceeds received from the NCM Transaction (see Note 6).
On March 20, 2007, the Company and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as trustee to the
Indenture dated February 11, 2003, executed the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The Fourth
Supplemental Indenture became effective on March 20, 2007 and it amends the Indenture by
eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions.
On April 3, 2007, the Company repurchased an additional $66 aggregate principal amount of the
9% senior subordinated notes tendered after the early settlement date. As of September 30, 2007,
the Company had outstanding $184 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes.
During July and August 2007, the Company repurchased in six open market purchases a total of
$47,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 9 3/4% senior discount notes for approximately
$42,758, including accreted interest of $10,932. The Company funded the transactions with proceeds
from its initial public offering. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding
approximately $488,558 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 9 3/4% senior discount notes.
The Company recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $3,584 and $11,536 during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, related to the repurchases discussed above,
which consisted of tender offer repurchase costs, including premiums paid and other fees, and the
write-off of unamortized debt issue costs, partially offset by the write-off of an unamortized bond
premium.
The loss on early retirement of debt of $2,501 recorded by the Company during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 related to the repurchase of $10,000 aggregate principal amount of 9%
senior subordinated notes and the repurchase of $39,775 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 9
3/4% senior discount notes during May 2006.
12. Dividend Payment
In August 2007, the Company initiated a quarterly dividend policy. Consistent with the
disclosures in the Companys 424(b)(1) prospectus, the dividend for the second quarter of 2007 was
based on a dividend rate of $0.18 per share, prorated based on the April 27, 2007 closing of the
Companys initial public offering. Based on the above proration, the Companys Board of Directors
declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2007 of $0.13 per common share payable to
stockholders of record on September 4, 2007, which was paid on September 18, 2007.
13. Interest Rate Swap Agreements
During March 2007, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective
dates of August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to
hedge approximately $500,000 of the Companys variable rate debt obligations under its senior
secured credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays
fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375,000 and $125,000, respectively, of variable rate debt and
receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each
reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swaps for the three-month period
following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the
interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented
prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were consummated. The
interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment in accordance with SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and as such, the Company
has effectively

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
hedged its exposure to variability in the future cash flows attributable to the
3-month LIBOR on $500,000 of variable rate debt. The change in the fair values of
the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet as
an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps gains or losses
reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported
in earnings.
As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate swaps were a liability with an aggregate fair
value of approximately $3,346, which has been recorded as a component of deferred revenues and
other long-term liabilities with a corresponding amount of $3,346 ($2,062 net of deferred taxes)
recorded as a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Companys condensed
consolidated balance sheet. The interest rate swaps exhibited no ineffectiveness during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007.

The Companys goodwill was as follows:

1 | U.S. operating segment includes one theatre located in Canada. |
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company reviews
goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at fiscal year-end or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value.
As a result of the NCM Transaction discussed in Note 6, and more specifically the modification
of the NCM Exhibitor Services Agreement with the Company, which significantly reduced the
contractual amounts paid to the Company, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill
as of March 31, 2007 resulting in the majority of the goodwill impairment charges reflected above
in the table.
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (generally a
theatre) and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair
value. The evaluation is a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the estimated fair
value of a theatre and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds estimated
fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Fair values
are determined based on a multiple of undiscounted cash flows, which was eight times for the
evaluation performed as of March 31, 2007. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash
flows and fair value. Managements estimates are based on historical and projected operating
performance as well as recent market transactions. The Companys policy of allocating goodwill at
the theatre level results in more volatile impairment charges on an annual basis due to changes in
market conditions and box office performance and the resulting impact on individual theatres.

15. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully
recoverable.
The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level
cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, theatre goodwill carrying values,
amortizing intangible assets carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive
theatres in the marketplace, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of recent
ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors in its assessment of
impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an
individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there
are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash
flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatres useful life. The remainder of the
useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of
renewal periods for leased properties and a period of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the
estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived assets carrying
value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset with its estimated fair value.
Fair value is determined based on a multiple of undiscounted cash flows, which was eight times for
the evaluation performed as of September 30, 2007. When estimated fair value is determined to be
lower than the carrying value of the long-lived asset, the asset is written down to its estimated
fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Managements
estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market
transactions.
The Companys long-lived asset impairment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
were as follows:
United States theatre properties |
$ | 9,802 | ||
International theatre properties |
19 | |||
Subtotal |
$ | 9,821 | ||
Intangible assets (see Note 14) |
3,863 | |||
Goodwill (see Note 14) |
46,706 | |||
Impairment of long-lived assets |
$ | 60,390 | ||
As a result of the NCM Transaction discussed in Note 6, and more specifically the modification
of the NCM Exhibitor Services Agreement with the Company, which significantly reduced the
contractual amounts paid to the Company, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill
as of March 31, 2007 resulting in the majority of the goodwill impairment charges reflected above
in the table.
16. Foreign Currency Translation
The accumulated other comprehensive income account in stockholders equity of $33,836 and
$11,463 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, includes cumulative foreign
currency adjustments of $35,898 and $11,463, respectively, from translating the financial
statements of the Companys international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
In 2007 and 2006, all foreign countries where the Company has operations were deemed
non-highly inflationary. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency compared to the U.S. dollar results
in a foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive income account
recorded as an increase in, or reduction of, stockholders equity.
On September 30, 2007, the exchange rate for the Brazilian real was 1.8 reais to the U.S.
dollar (the exchange rate was 2.14 reais to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2006). As a result,
the effect of translating the September 30, 2007 Brazilian financial statements into U.S. dollars
is reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive
income account as an increase in stockholders equity of $23,943. At September 30, 2007, the total
assets of the Companys Brazilian subsidiaries were U.S. $195,669.
On September 30, 2007, the exchange rate for the Mexican peso was 11.0 pesos to the U.S.
dollar (the exchange rate was 10.82 pesos to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2006). As a result,
the effect of translating the September 30, 2007

19. Segments
The Company identifies its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable
operating segments. The international segment consists of operations in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. The U.S.
segment includes U.S. and Canada operations. Each segments revenue is derived from admissions and
concession sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising. Adjusted EBITDA, as
defined below in the reconciliation table, is the primary measure of segment profit and loss the
Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Companys management evaluates
the performance of its assets on a consolidated basis.

20. Related Party Transactions
The Company entered into an amended and restated profit participation agreement on March 12,
2004 with its CEO, Alan Stock, which became effective on April 2, 2004, and amended the profit
participation agreement with Mr. Stock in effect since May 2002. Under the agreement, Mr. Stock
received a profit interest in two theatres once the Company recovered its capital investment in
these theatres plus its borrowing costs. After the Companys initial public offering, the Company
exercised its option to terminate the amended and restated profit participation agreement and
purchased Mr. Stocks interest in the theatres on May 3, 2007 for a price of $6,853 pursuant to the
terms of the agreement. The Company also paid payroll taxes of approximately $99 related to the
payment made to terminate the amended and restated profit participation agreement. The aggregate
amount paid of $6,952 is reflected within cost of operations in the Companys condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and the agreement
with Mr. Stock has been terminated.
The Company leases 25 theatres and two parking facilities from Syufy Enterprises, LP (Syufy)
or affiliates of Syufy, which owns approximately 7.7% of the Companys issued and outstanding
shares of common stock as of September 30, 2007. Raymond Syufy is one of the Companys directors
and is an officer of the general partner of Syufy. Of these 27 leases, 22 have fixed minimum
annual rent in an aggregate amount of approximately $23,500. Of these 22 leases with fixed minimum
annual rent, 17 have a remaining lease term plus extension option(s) that exceed 30 years, four
have a remaining lease term plus extension option(s) that exceed 18 years, and one has a remaining
lease term of approximately three years. Three of these 22 leases have triggering events that allow
the Company to convert the fixed minimum rent to a fixed percentage of gross sales as defined in
the lease with the further right to terminate the lease if the theatre level cash flow drops below
$0. Five of these 22 leases have triggering events that allow the Company to terminate the lease
prior to expiration of the term. The five leases without minimum annual rent have rent based upon a
specified percentage of gross sales as defined in the lease with no minimum annual rent. Four of
these percentage rent leases have remaining terms of 12 months plus automatic 12-month renewal
options, and the Company has the right to terminate the lease if the theatre level cash flow drops
below $0. One of these percentage rent leases has a remaining term of 12 months, and Syufy has the
right to terminate this lease prior to the end of the term.
The Company also has an office lease with Syufy for corporate office space in San Rafael,
California. The lease will expire in September 2008. The lease has a fixed minimum annual rent of
approximately $300.

Prior to the completion of the Century Acquisition, Century Theatres, Inc. owned certain
shares of Fandango, Inc., an on-line ticketing distributor. In connection with the Century
Acquisition, the Company agreed to pay Syufy the cash proceeds received by the Company in
connection with any sale of such shares of Fandango, Inc. up to a maximum amount of $2,800. As
discussed in Note 8, the Company sold all of its shares of Fandango, Inc. stock during May 2007 for
approximately $14,147 of consideration and paid $2,800 of the cash consideration to Syufy in
accordance with the Century Acquisition agreement.
The Company manages one theatre for Laredo Theatre, Ltd. (Laredo). The Company is the sole
general partner and owns 75% of the limited partnership interests of Laredo. Lone Star Theatres,
Inc. owns the remaining 25% of the limited partnership interests in Laredo and is 100% owned by Mr.
David Roberts, Lee Roy Mitchells son-in-law. Under the agreement, management fees are paid by
Laredo to the Company at a rate of 5% of annual theatre revenues up to $50,000 and 3% of annual
theatre revenues in excess of $50,000. The Company recorded $63 of management fee revenues during
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. All such amounts are included in the Companys condensed
consolidated financial statements with the intercompany amounts eliminated in consolidation.
The Company leases one theatre from Plitt Plaza Joint Venture (Plitt Plaza). Plitt Plaza is
indirectly owned by Lee Roy Mitchell. Annual rent is approximately $118 plus certain taxes,
maintenance expenses and insurance. The Company recorded $91 of facility lease expense payable to
Plitt Plaza joint venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
21. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the
ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters and
contractual disputes, most of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential
liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the
aggregate, to the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
22. Subsequent Event Dividend Declaration
On November 9,
2007, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third
quarter of 2007 of $0.18 per common share payable to stockholders of record on December 3, 2007.
The dividend will be paid on December 18, 2007.
23. Subsequent Event Repurchase of Senior Discount Notes
On November 6, 2007, as part of an open market purchase, the Company repurchased $22,155
aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 9 3/4% senior discount notes for approximately $20,936.
The Company funded the transaction with proceeds from its initial public offering. As a result
of the transaction, the Company will record a loss on early retirement of debt of approximately
$1,920, which includes premiums paid and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs related to
the repurchased notes.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this
report.
We are one of the leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry, in terms of both revenues
and the number of screens in operation, with theatres in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
For financial reporting purposes at September 30, 2007, we have identified two reportable operating
segments; our U.S. operations and our international operations.
We generate revenues primarily from box office receipts and concession sales with additional
revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as vendor marketing
programs, pay phones, ATM machines and electronic video games located in some of our theatres. Our
investment in NCM has assisted us in expanding our offerings to advertisers, exploring ancillary
revenue sources such as digital video monitor advertising, third party branding, and the use of
theatres for non-film events. In addition, we are able to use theatres during non-peak hours for
concerts, sporting events, and other cultural events. Successful films released during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 included Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, Pirates of the Caribbean:
At Worlds End and Transformers, which all grossed over $300 million; Harry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix, Bourne Ultimatum, Ratatouille, and 300, which all grossed over $200 million; and
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, Knocked Up, Rush
Hour 3, and The Simpsons Movie. Film releases expected to drive the box office for the remainder of
2007 include Bee Movie, American Gangster, Fred Claus, Beowulf, Golden Compass, and National
Treasure: Book Of Secrets. Our revenues are affected by changes in attendance and average
admissions and concession revenues per patron. Attendance is primarily affected by the quality and
quantity of films released by motion picture studios.
Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenues. Film
rental costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster
films are released. Film rental costs can also vary based on the length of a films run.
Generally, a film that runs for a longer period results in lower film rental costs as a percentage
of revenues. Film rental rates are negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.
Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily fixed at the theatre level as
daily movie directories placed in newspapers represent the largest component of advertising costs.
The monthly cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the directory
and the frequency and size of the newspapers circulation.
Concession supplies expense is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenues.
We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We negotiate prices for concession
supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain bulk rates.
Although salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e. the minimum staffing costs to
operate a theatre facility during non-peak periods), salaries and wages move in relation to
revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to address changes in attendance.
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility
leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment, many of which are also subject to percentage
rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. Certain
of our leases are subject to percentage rent only. Facility lease expense as a percentage of
revenues is also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases versus the number of
theatres under capital leases and the number of fee-owned theatres.
Utilities and other costs include certain costs that are fixed such as property taxes, certain
costs that are variable such as supplies, and certain costs that possess both fixed and variable
components such as utilities, repairs and maintenance and security services.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make
certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information
available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
periods
presented. The significant accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to aid
in fully understanding and evaluating our reported condensed consolidated financial results,
include the following:
21
Table of Contents
Revenue and Expense Recognition
Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office.
Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized
over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. We record
proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current
liabilities and recognize admissions and concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or
certificate. We recognize unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as
revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood
of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood
of redemption, we consider the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the
period of inactivity.
Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either the
mutually agreed upon firm terms established prior to the opening of the picture or estimates of the
final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the picture run, subject
to the film licensing arrangement. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film over the
length of its run in theatres. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after
a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final
settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the
estimate is made and the expected success of a film over the length of its run in theatres can
typically be estimated early in the films run. The final film settlement amount is negotiated at
the conclusion of the films run based upon how a film actually performs. If actual settlements are
higher than those estimated, additional film rental costs are recorded at that time. We recognize
advertising costs and any sharing arrangements with film distributors in the same accounting
period. Our advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility
leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to monthly
percentage rent only, which is accrued each month based on actual revenues. Certain of our other
theatres require payment of percentage rent in addition to fixed monthly rent if a target annual
revenue level is achieved. Percentage rent expense is recorded for these theatres on a monthly
basis if the theatres historical performance or forecasted performance indicates that the annual
target will be reached. The estimate of percentage rent expense recorded during the year is based
on a trailing twelve months of revenues. Once annual revenues are known, which is generally at the
end of the year, the percentage rent expense is adjusted based on actual revenues.
Theatre properties and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives of our theatre properties and equipment, we
have relied upon our experience with such assets and our historical replacement period. We
periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust them as necessary. Adjustments to
the expected lives of assets are accounted for on a prospective basis through depreciation expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess
many factors including the following to determine whether to impair individual theatre assets:
| actual theatre level cash flows; | ||
| future years budgeted theatre level cash flows; | ||
| theatre property and equipment carrying values; | ||
| goodwill carrying values; | ||
| amortizing intangible asset carrying values; | ||
| the age of a recently built theatre; | ||
| competitive theatres in the marketplace; | ||
| changes in foreign currency exchange rates; | ||
| the impact of recent ticket price changes; | ||
| available lease renewal options; and | ||
| other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. |

Table of Contents
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we
believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The evaluation
is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the
theatres useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining
lease period, which includes the possibility of renewal periods, for leased properties and a period
of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not
sufficient to recover a long-lived assets carrying value, we then compare the carrying value of
the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined based on a
multiple of undiscounted cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during
2007. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset
group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant
judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Managements estimates are based on
historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We evaluate goodwill and tradename for impairment annually at fiscal year-end and any time
events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the goodwill
and tradename may not
be fully recoverable. As a result of the NCM transaction discussed in Note 6, and more specifically
the modification of the NCM Exhibitor Services Agreement, which significantly reduced the
contractual amounts paid to us, we evaluated the carrying value of our goodwill as of March 31,
2007 (see Note 14). We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (generally a
theatre) and have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative
fair value. The evaluation is a two-step approach requiring us to compute the estimated fair value
of a theatre and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated
fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Fair values
are determined based on a multiple of undiscounted cash flows, which was eight times for the
evaluation performed as of March 31, 2007. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash
flows and fair value. Managements estimates are based on historical and projected operating
performance as well as recent market transactions. Our policy of allocating goodwill at the theatre
level results in more volatile impairment charges on an annual basis due to changes in market
conditions and box office performance and the resulting impact on individual theatres.
Acquisitions
We account for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS
No. 141, Business Combinations. The purchase method requires that we estimate the fair value of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocate consideration paid accordingly. For
significant acquisitions, we obtain independent third party valuation studies for certain of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist us in determining fair value. The estimation of
the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and
assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded.
Income Taxes
We use an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.
Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with
respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation
allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely
than not those assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from
foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes
have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The related tax accruals are recorded in
accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income
taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken in income tax returns. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a
two-step process. The first step is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more
likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any
related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In
evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the
enterprise should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority
that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the
amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate
23
Table of Contents
settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the
financial statements will generally result in (1) an increase in a liability for income taxes
payable or (2) a reduction of an income tax refund receivable or a reduction in a deferred tax asset or
an increase in a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2).
Recent Developments
On November 6, 2007, as part of an open market purchase, we repurchased $22,155 aggregate principal amount at maturity of our
9 3/4% senior discount notes for approximately $20,936. We funded the transaction with proceeds from our initial public offering.
As a result of the transaction, we will record a loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $1,920, which includes
premiums paid and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs related to the repurchased notes.
On November 9, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2007 of $0.18 per common share
payable to stockholders of record on December 3, 2007. The
dividend will be paid on December 18, 2007.

| Consolidated. The increase in admissions revenues of $130.3 million was attributable to a 33.5% increase in attendance from 45.1 million patrons for the third quarter of 2006 to 60.2 million patrons for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $66.7 million, and a 29.7% increase in average ticket price from $3.94 for the third quarter of 2006 to $5.11 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $63.6 million. The increase in concession revenues of $54.0 million was attributable to the 33.5% increase in attendance, which contributed $35.4 million, and a 20.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.00 for the third quarter of 2006 to $2.40 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $18.6 million. The increases in admissions revenues, concession revenues, attendance, average ticket prices and concession revenues per patron were the result of a strong and diverse film slate, increased pricing and the addition of the 77 Century theatres acquired during the fourth quarter of 2006. The $0.8 million, or 4.0% decrease in other revenues was primarily attributable to reduced screen advertising revenues which resulted from the NCM transaction and related Exhibitor Services Agreement amendment. | |
| U.S. The increase in admissions revenues of $121.0 million was attributable to a 50.3% increase in attendance from 28.6 million patrons for the third quarter of 2006 to 43.0 million patrons for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $64.1 million, and a 29.5% increase in average ticket price from $4.47 for the third quarter of 2006 to $5.79 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $56.9 million. The increase in concession revenues of $49.6 million was attributable to the 50.3% increase in attendance, which contributed $34.3 million, and a 15.1% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.39 for the third quarter of 2006 to $2.75 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $15.3 million. The increases in admissions revenues, concession revenues, attendance, average ticket prices and concession revenues per patron were the result of a strong and diverse film slate, increased pricing and the addition of the 77 Century theatres acquired. The $3.2 million, or 23.2% decrease in other revenues was primarily attributable to reduced screen advertising revenues, which resulted from the NCM transaction and related Exhibitor Services Agreement amendment. | |
| International. The increase in admissions revenues of $9.3 million was attributable to a 12.9% increase in average ticket price from $3.02 for the third quarter of 2006 to $3.41 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $6.7 million, |

and a 4.2% increase in attendance, which contributed $2.6 million. The increase in concession revenues of $4.4 million was attributable to a 14.3% increase in concession revenues per patron from $1.33 for the third quarter of 2006 to $1.52 for the third quarter of 2007, which contributed $3.3 million, and the 4.2% increase in attendance, which contributed $1.1 million. The increases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were primarily due to price increases and exchange rates. The increase in attendance was primarily due to a strong and diverse film slate and new theatre openings. |

The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $71.0 million is due to a $130.3 million increase in admissions revenues, and an increase in our film rentals and advertising rate. While the film rentals and advertising rate for our U.S. operating segment was down, the increase in consolidated film rentals and advertising costs as a percentage of admissions revenues is primarily due to the increased relative weight of our U.S. operating segment, which has a higher film rentals and advertising rate than our international operating segment.

increased to $13.6 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $12.1 million for the third
quarter of 2006 primarily due to new theatre openings. Utilities and other costs increased to
$12.2 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2006
primarily due to new theatre openings.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $20.6
million for the third quarter of 2007 from $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2006. The
increase was primarily due to increased salaries, consulting fees, and service charges related to
credit card activity, all of which increased, in part, as a result of the Century Acquisition.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization
of favorable leases, increased to $38.3 million for the third quarter of 2007 from $21.4 million
for the third quarter of 2006 primarily due to the 77 Century theatres acquired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used
of $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $4.3 million during the third quarter of
2006. Impairment charges for the third quarter of 2007 consisted of $1.8 million of theatre
properties, $1.6 million of goodwill associated with theatre properties and $0.2 million of
intangible assets associated with theatre properties. We record goodwill at the theatre level,
which results in more volatile impairment charges on an annual basis due to changes in market
conditions and box office performance and the resulting impact on individual theatres. Significant
judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Managements estimates are based on
historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions. See notes 14
and 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $0.9
million during the third quarter of 2007 compared to a loss of $3.8 million during the third
quarter of 2006. The loss recorded during the third quarter of 2006 primarily related to a loss on
the exchange of a theatre in the United States with a third party and the write-off of intangible
assets for closed theatres.
Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, was
$35.0 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to $22.5 million for the third quarter of
2006. The increase was primarily due to the increased long-term debt related to the financing of
the Century Acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Interest Income. We recorded interest income of $5.6 million during the third quarter of 2007
compared to interest income of $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2006. The increase in
interest income is due to the increase in cash, which was primarily a result of the proceeds from
our initial public offering.
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $3.6
million during the third quarter of 2007, which consisted of repurchase costs, including premiums
paid and other fees, and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the
repurchase of approximately $47.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior
discount notes. See Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $4.4 million during the
third quarter of 2007, which were in excess of the carrying value of our investment. See Note 6 to
our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $60.1 million for the third quarter of 2007
compared to $5.7 million recorded for the third quarter of 2006. The effective tax rate was 163.8%
for the third quarter of 2007 and 71.4% for the third quarter of 2006. Income tax provisions for
interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for the
effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items occurring during the interim period. As a
result, the interim rate may vary significantly from the normalized annual rate. See Note 9 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Consolidated. The increase in admissions revenues of $320.9 million was attributable to a 28.5% increase in attendance from 128.5 million patrons for the 2006 period to 165.1 million patrons for the 2007 period, which contributed $164.3 million, and a 26.5% increase in average ticket price from $4.00 for the 2006 period to $5.06 for the 2007 period, which contributed $156.6 million. The increase in concession revenues of $137.7 million was attributable to the 28.5% increase in attendance, which contributed $87.8 million, and an 18.7% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.03 for the 2006 period to $2.41 for the 2007 period, which contributed $49.9 million. The increases in admissions revenues, concession revenues, attendance, average ticket prices and concession revenues per patron were the result of a strong and diverse film slate, increased pricing and the addition of the 77 Century theatres acquired during the fourth quarter of 2006. The 3.5% increase in other revenues was primarily attributable to increased screen advertising revenues from our international operating segment. | |
| U.S. The increase in admissions revenues of $301.2 million was attributable to a 43.1% increase in attendance from 81.6 million patrons for the 2006 period to 116.8 million patrons for the 2007 period, which contributed $160.0 million, and a 26.7% increase in average ticket price from $4.54 for the 2006 period to $5.75 for the 2007 period, which contributed $141.2 million. The increase in concession revenues of $127.3 million was attributable to the 43.1% increase in attendance, which contributed $86.0 million, and a 14.3% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.44 for the 2006 period to $2.79 for the 2007 period, which contributed $41.3 million. The increases in admissions revenues, concession revenues, attendance, average ticket prices and concession revenues per patron were the result of a strong and diverse film slate, increased pricing and the addition of the 77 Century theatres acquired. |
International. The increase in admissions revenues of $19.7 million was attributable
to a 10.5% increase in average ticket price from $3.06 for the 2006 period to $3.38 for the 2007
period, which contributed $15.4 million, and a 3.0% increase in attendance from 46.9 million
patrons for the 2006 period to 48.3 million patrons for the 2007 period, which contributed $4.3
million. The increase in concession revenues of $10.4 million was attributable to a 13.8% increase
in
28

concession revenues per patron from $1.30 for the 2006 period to $1.48 for the 2007 period,
which contributed $8.6 million, and the 3.0% increase in attendance, which contributed $1.8
million. The increases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were primarily
due to price increases and exchange rates. The increase in attendance was primarily due to a strong
and diverse film slate and new theatre openings.
Theatre Operating Costs (excludes depreciation and amortization expense). Theatre operating
costs were $952.0 million, or 73.8% of revenues, for the 2007 period compared to $609.9 million, or
73.6% of revenues, for the 2006 period. The table below, presented by reportable operating segment,

Film rentals and advertising costs were $454.2 million, or 54.4% of admissions revenues, for the 2007 period compared to $275.0 million, or 53.5% of admissions revenues, for the 2006 period. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $179.2 million is due to a $320.9 million increase in admissions revenues and an increase in our film rentals and advertising rate. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs as a percentage of admissions revenues was due to higher film rental rates on certain films in the 2007 period compared with the 2006 period.

Salaries and wages increased to $19.7 million for the 2007 period from $16.8 million for the
2006 period primarily due to new theatre openings. Facility lease expense increased to $38.3
million for the 2007 period from $34.7 million for the 2006 period primarily due to new theatre
openings. Utilities and other costs increased to $34.0 million for the 2007 period from $28.6
million for the 2006 period primarily due to new theatre openings.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $57.7
million for the 2007 period from $46.0 million for the 2006 period. The increase was primarily due
to increased salaries, consulting fees, and service charges related to credit card activity, all of
which increased, in part, as a result of the Century Acquisition.
Termination of Profit Participation Agreement. Upon consummation of our initial public
offering on April 24, 2007, we exercised our option to terminate the amended and restated profit
participation agreement with our CEO Alan Stock and purchased Mr. Stocks interest in the theatres
on May 3, 2007 for a price of $6.9 million pursuant to the terms of the agreement. In addition, the
Company incurred $0.1 million of payroll taxes related to the termination. See Note 20 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization
of favorable leases, was $113.4 million for the 2007 period compared to $64.5 million for the 2006
period primarily due to the 77 Century theatres acquired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used
of $60.4 million for the 2007 period compared to $5.2 million during the 2006 period. Impairment
charges for the 2007 period consisted of $9.8 million of theatre properties, $46.7 million of
goodwill associated with theatre properties and $3.9 million of intangible assets associated with
theatre properties. We record goodwill at the theatre level, which results in more volatile
impairment charges on an annual basis due to changes in market conditions and box office
performance and the resulting impact on individual theatres. Significant judgment is involved in
estimating cash flows and fair value. Managements estimates are based on historical and projected
operating performance as well as recent market transactions. See notes 6, 14 and 15 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements. See also discussion of gain on NCM transaction.
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a gain on sale of assets and other of
$0.6 million during the 2007 period compared to a loss of $5.3 million during the 2006 period. The
gain for the 2007 period was primarily due to a gain recorded on the sale of two U.S. theatres,
partially offset by losses associated with theatre closures. The loss recorded during the 2006
period primarily related to a loss on the exchange of a theatre in the United States with a third
party, the write-off of intangible assets for closed theatres, lease termination fees incurred due
to theatre closures and the replacement of certain theatre assets.
Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, was
$111.8 million for the 2007 period compared to $67.1 million for the 2006 period. The increase was
primarily due to the increased long-term debt related to the financing of the Century Acquisition
during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Interest Income. We recorded interest income of $13.9 million during the 2007 period compared
to interest income of $5.6 million during the 2006 period. The increase in interest income is due
to the increase in cash, which was primarily a result of the proceeds from our initial public
offering.
Gain on NCM transaction. We recorded a gain of $210.8 million on the sale of a portion of our
equity investment in NCM in conjunction with the initial public offering of NCM, Inc. during the
2007 period. Our ownership interest in NCM was reduced from approximately 25% to approximately 14%
as part of this sale of stock in the offering. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements.

Table of Contents
Gain on Fandango transaction. We recorded a gain of $9.2 million as a result of the sale of
our investment in stock of Fandango, Inc. See Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $11.5
million during the 2007 period, which consisted of tender offer repurchase costs, including
premiums paid and other fees, and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs, partially offset
by the write-off of the unamortized bond premium, associated with the repurchase of a total of
$332.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes during March and
April 2007 and the repurchase of $47.0 million aggregate
principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4%
senior discount notes during July and August 2007. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt
of approximately $2.5 million during the 2006 period related to the repurchase of $10.0 million
aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes and $39.8 million aggregate
principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior discount notes. See Note 11 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $5.8 million during the
2007 period, which were in excess of the carrying value of our investment. See Note 6 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $69.8 million for the 2007 period compared to
$9.6 million recorded for the 2006 period. The effective tax rate was 32.8% for the 2007 period and
31.1% for the 2006 period. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of
concession supplies. In addition, a majority of our theatres provide the patron a choice of using a
credit card in place of cash, which we convert to cash over a range of one to six days. Because our
revenues are received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, we have an operating
float and historically have not required traditional working capital financing. Cash provided by
operating activities was $204.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to
$75.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities is primarily due to the proceeds received from NCM for the modification of our
Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. See Note 6
to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the NCM Transaction.
Since the issuance of the 9 3/4% senior discount notes on March 31, 2004, interest has accreted
rather than been paid in cash, which has benefited our operating cash flows for the periods
presented. Interest will be paid in cash commencing September 15, 2009, at which time our operating
cash flows will be impacted by these cash payments.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have been principally related to the development and acquisition of
additional theatres. New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have been financed with
internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under our senior secured
credit facility. Cash provided by investing activities was $128.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 compared to cash used for investing activities of $76.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily
due to the proceeds received as a result of the sale of a portion of our investment in NCM. See
Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the NCM
Transaction.

We continue to expand our U.S. theatre circuit. During the nine months ended September 30,
2007, we opened nine theatres with 139 screens in domestic markets, closed three theatres with 22
screens and sold two theatres with 34 screens. At September 30, 2007 we had 285 theatres with 3,606
screens (including 1 theatre with 12 screens in Canada) in domestic markets. At September 30, 2007,
we had signed commitments to open four new theatres with 62 screens in domestic markets during the
remainder of 2007 and open 12 new theatres with 168 screens subsequent to 2007. We estimate the
remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 230 domestic screens will be
approximately $100 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions
are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.
We also continue to expand our international theatre circuit. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we opened five theatres with 35 screens in international markets and closed one
theatre with ten screens. At September 30, 2007 we had 119 theatres with 990 screens in
international markets. At September 30, 2007, we had signed commitments to open two new theatres
with 21 screens in international markets during the remainder of 2007 and open two new theatres
with 15 screens subsequent to 2007. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the
development of these 36 international screens will be approximately $16 million. Actual
expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon
the availability of attractive opportunities.
We plan to fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from
operations, borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility, subordinated note borrowings,
proceeds from sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.
During June 2007, we invested $1.5 million in a joint venture with AMC and Regal called
Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (DCIP). We are accounting for our investment in DCIP
under the equity method of accounting. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities was $150.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 compared to $38.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in cash
used for financing activities was primarily due to the repurchase of $332.1 million aggregate
principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes and $47.0 million aggregate principal amount
at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior discount notes, which were partially offset by the net proceeds from
our initial public offering of approximately $245.9 million.
On March 6, 2007, we commenced an offer to purchase for cash, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, any and all of our
9% senior subordinated notes, of which $332.2 million aggregate principal amount remained
outstanding. In connection with the tender offer, we solicited consents for certain proposed
amendments to the indenture to remove substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of
default provisions. On March 20, 2007, the early settlement date, approximately $332.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior subordinated notes were tendered and repurchased by us
for approximately $360.2 million including accrued interest and premiums paid. We funded the
repurchase with the net proceeds received from the NCM Transaction (see Note 6). On March 20, 2007,
we and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.. as trustee to the Indenture dated February 11,
2003, executed the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture became
effective on March 20, 2007 and it amends the Indenture by eliminating substantially all
restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On April 3, 2007, we repurchased an
additional $0.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered
after the early settlement date.

Table of Contents
On April 24, 2007, we completed our initial public offering. We sold 13,888,889 shares of our
common stock and selling stockholders sold an additional 14,111,111 shares of common stock at a
price of $17.955 ($19 per share less underwriting discounts). The net proceeds (before expenses) we
received were $249.4 million and we paid approximately $3.5 million in legal, accounting and other
fees. The selling stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an
additional 2,800,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $17.955 ($19 per share less
underwriting discounts). On May 21, 2007, the underwriters purchased an additional 269,100 shares
from the selling stockholders pursuant to this option. We did not receive any proceeds from the
sale of shares by the selling stockholders. We have utilized a portion of the net proceeds to
repurchase a portion of our 9 3/4% senior discount notes and we expect to continue to use the
remaining net proceeds from the offering to repurchase a portion of the remaining outstanding 9 3/4%
senior discount notes or repay debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. The 9 3/4%
senior discount notes are not currently subject to repurchase at our option. Accordingly, if we are
unable to repurchase the 9 3/4% senior discount notes at acceptable prices, we expect to use the net
proceeds to repay term loan debt outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. We have
significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds from our initial public offering. We have
invested the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade marketable securities or money market
obligations.
During July and August 2007, we repurchased in six open market purchases a total of $47.0
million aggregate principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior discount notes for approximately
$42.8 million, including accreted interest of $10.9 million. We funded the transactions with
proceeds from our initial public offering. As of September 30, 2007, we had outstanding
approximately $488.6 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior discount
notes.
In August 2007, we initiated a quarterly dividend policy. Consistent with the disclosures in
our 424(b)(1) prospectus, the dividend for the second quarter of 2007 was based on a dividend rate
of $0.18 per share, prorated based on the April 27, 2007 closing of our initial public offering.
Based on the above proration, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the second
quarter of 2007 of $0.13 per common share to stockholders of record on September 4, 2007, which was
paid with available cash on September 18, 2007.
We may from time to time, subject to compliance with our debt instruments, purchase on the
open market our debt securities depending upon the availability and prices of such securities.
Long-term debt consisted of the following as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

As of September 30, 2007, we had borrowings of $1,101.7 million outstanding on the term loan
under our new senior secured credit facility, $425.3 million accreted principal amount outstanding
under our 9 3/4% senior discount notes and approximately $0.2 million aggregate principal amount
outstanding under the 9% senior subordinated notes, respectively, and had approximately $149.9
million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. We were in full
compliance with all covenants governing our outstanding debt at September 30, 2007.
During March 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective dates of
August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to hedge
approximately $500.0 million of our variable rate debt obligations. Under the terms of the interest
rate swap agreements, we pay fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375.0 million and $125.0 million,
respectively, of variable rate debt and receive interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month
LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest
rate-swaps for the three-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred
upon us entering into the interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest
rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps
were consummated. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting
treatment in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and as
33
Table of Contents
such, we have effectively hedged our exposure to variability in the future cash
flows attributable to the 3-month LIBOR on approximately $500.0 million of debt. The change in the
fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as an
asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps gains or losses reported
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in
earnings. At September 30, 2007, the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps was a
liability of approximately $3.4 million.
As of September 30, 2007, our long-term debt obligations, scheduled interest payments on
long-term debt, future minimum lease obligations under non-cancelable operating and capital leases,
scheduled interest payments under capital leases, outstanding letters of credit, obligations under
employment agreements and purchase commitments for each period indicated are summarized as follows:

Cinemark, Inc. 9 3/4% Senior Discount Notes
On March 31, 2004, Cinemark, Inc. issued approximately $577.2 million aggregate principal
amount at maturity of 9 3/4% senior discount notes due 2014. Interest on the notes accretes until
March 15, 2009 up to their aggregate principal amount. Cash interest will accrue and be payable
semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2009. Due to
Cinemark, Inc.s holding company status, payments of principal and interest under these notes will
be dependent on loans, dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries. Cinemark, Inc. may
redeem all or part of the 9 3/4% senior discount notes on or after March 15, 2009.
On September 22, 2005, Cinemark, Inc. repurchased $1.8 million aggregate principal amount at
maturity of its 9 3/4% senior discount notes as part of an open market purchase for approximately
$1.3 million, including accreted interest. During May 2006, as part of four open market purchases,
Cinemark, Inc. repurchased $39.8 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 9 3/4%
senior discount notes for approximately $31.7 million, including accreted interest of $5.4 million.
Cinemark, Inc. funded these transactions with available cash from its operations.

Table of Contents
During July and August 2007, we repurchased in six open market purchases a total of $47.0
million aggregate principal amount at maturity of our 9 3/4% senior discount notes for approximately
$42.8 million, including accreted interest of $10.9 million. We funded the transactions with
proceeds from our initial public offering.
As of September 30, 2007, the accreted principal balance of the notes was approximately $425.3
million and the aggregate principal amount at maturity was approximately $488.6 million.
The indenture governing the 9 3/4% senior discount notes contains covenants that limit, among
other things, dividends, transactions with affiliates, investments, sales of assets, mergers,
repurchases of our capital stock, liens and additional indebtedness. The dividend restriction
contained in the indenture prevents Cinemark, Inc. from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing
cash to its stockholders unless (1) it is not in default, and the distribution would not cause it
to be in default, under the indenture; (2) it would be able to incur at least $1.00 more of
indebtedness without the ratio of its consolidated cash flow to its fixed charges (each as defined
in the indenture, and calculated on a pro forma basis for the most recently ended four full fiscal
quarters for which internal financial statements are available, using certain assumptions and
modifications specified in the indenture, and including the additional indebtedness then being
incurred) falling below two to one (the senior notes debt incurrence ratio test); and (3) the
aggregate amount of distributions made since March 31, 2004, including the distribution proposed,
is less than the sum of (a) half of its consolidated net income (as defined in the indenture) since
February 11, 2003, (b) the net proceeds to it from the issuance of stock since April 2, 2004, and
(c) certain other amounts specified in the indenture, subject to certain adjustments specified in
the indenture. The dividend restriction is subject to certain exceptions specified in the
indenture.
Upon certain specified types of change of control of Cinemark, Inc., Cinemark, Inc. would be
required under the indenture to make an offer to repurchase all of the 9 3/4% senior discount notes
at a price equal to 101% of the accreted value of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, through the date of repurchase.
New Senior Secured Credit Facility
On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Cinemark USA, Inc., entered into a new senior secured credit facility. The new senior secured
credit facility provides for a seven year term loan of $1.12 billion and a $150 million revolving
credit line that matures in six years unless our 9% senior subordinated notes have not been
refinanced by August 1, 2012 with indebtedness that matures no earlier than seven and one-half
years after the closing date of the new senior secured credit facility, in which case the maturity
date of the revolving credit line becomes August 1, 2012. The net proceeds of the term loan were
used to finance a portion of the $531.2 million cash portion of the Century Acquisition, repay in
full the $253.5 million outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility, repay
approximately $360.0 million of existing indebtedness of Century and to pay for related fees and
expenses. The revolving credit line was left undrawn at closing. The revolving credit line is used
for our general corporate purposes.
At September 30, 2007, there was $1,101.7 million outstanding under the term loan and no
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. Approximately $149.9 million was available
for borrowing under the revolving credit line, giving effect to a $0.1 million letter of credit
outstanding. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the new senior secured
credit facility at September 30, 2007 was 7.0% per annum.
Under the term loan, principal payments of $2.8 million are due each calendar quarter
beginning December 31, 2006 through September 30, 2012 and increase to $263.2 million each calendar
quarter from December 31, 2012 to maturity at October 5, 2013. Prior to the amendment to the senior
secured credit facility discussed below, the term loan accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.s
option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the
British Banking Association Telerate page 5 or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to
time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a eurodollar
rate plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to
Cinemark USA, Inc.s corporate credit rating. Borrowings under the revolving credit line bear
interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime
lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal
funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00%
per annum, or (B) a eurodollar rate plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in
each case as adjusted pursuant to Cinemark USA, Inc.s consolidated net senior secured leverage
ratio as defined in the credit agreement. Cinemark USA, Inc. is required to pay a commitment fee
calculated at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the new revolving
credit line, payable quarterly in arrears, which rate decreases to 0.375% per annum for any fiscal
quarter in which Cinemark
USA, Inc.s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio on the last day of such fiscal
quarter is less than 2.25 to 1.0.
35
Table of Contents
On March 14, 2007, Cinemark USA, Inc. amended its new senior secured credit facility to, among
other things, modify the interest rate on the term loans under the new senior secured credit
facility, modify certain prepayment terms and covenants, and facilitate the tender offer for the 9%
senior subordinated notes. The term loans now accrue interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.s option, at:
(A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British
Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus
0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum, or (B) a eurodollar rate plus a
margin that ranges from 1.50% to 1.75%, per annum. In each case, the margin is a function of the
corporate credit rating applicable to the borrower. The interest rate on the revolving credit line
was not amended. Additionally, the amendment removed any obligation to prepay amounts outstanding
under the new senior secured credit facility in an amount equal to the amount of the net cash
proceeds received from the NCM transaction or from excess cash flows, and imposed a 1% prepayment
premium for one year on certain prepayments of the term loans.
Cinemark USA, Inc.s obligations under the new senior secured credit facility are guaranteed
by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Cinemark, Inc., CNMK Holding, Inc., and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.s
domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and
security interests in substantially all of Cinemark USA, Inc.s and the guarantors personal
property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of Cinemark USA, Inc.s capital stock, all
of the capital stock of Cinemark, Inc., CNMK Holding, Inc. and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.s
domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
The new senior secured credit facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for
agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Cinemark USA, Inc.s
ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.s, Cinemark,
Inc.s and CNMK Holding, Inc.s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve;
substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or
incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and voluntarily repurchase or
redeem the 9 3/4% senior discount notes; and make capital expenditures and investments. The new
senior secured credit facility also requires Cinemark USA, Inc. to satisfy a consolidated net
senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the new senior secured
credit facility. The dividend restriction contained in the new senior secured credit facility
prevents us and any of our subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to
its stockholders unless (1) we are not in default, and the distribution would not cause us to be in
default, under the new senior secured credit facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain
dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since October 5,
2006, including the distribution currently proposed, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate
amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc. as
common equity since October 5, 2006, (b) Cinemark USA, Inc.s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times
its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the new senior secured credit facility, since
October 1, 2006, (c) $150 million and (d) certain other amounts specified in the new senior secured
credit facility, subject to certain adjustments specified in the new senior secured credit
facility. The dividend restriction is subject to certain exceptions specified in the new senior
secured credit facility.
The new senior secured credit facility also includes customary events of default, including,
among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty,
bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, certain types of change of control, material
money judgments and failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees. If an event of default occurs, all
commitments under the new senior secured credit facility may be terminated and all obligations
under the new senior secured credit facility could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans
outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due
and payable. The Cinemark Holdings, Inc. initial public offering is not considered a change of
control under the new senior secured credit facility.
Cinemark USA, Inc. 9% Senior Subordinated Notes
On February 11, 2003, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of 9%
senior subordinated notes due 2013 and on May 7, 2003, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued an additional $210
million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013, collectively referred
to as the 9% senior subordinated notes. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each
year.
On April 6, 2004, as a result of the MDP Merger and in accordance with the terms of the
indenture governing the 9% senior subordinated notes, Cinemark USA, Inc. made a change of control
offer to purchase the 9% senior subordinated
36
Table of Contents
notes at a purchase price of 101% of the aggregate
principal amount. Approximately $17.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior
subordinated notes were tendered. The payment of the change of control price was funded with
available cash by Cinemark USA, Inc. on June 1, 2004.
During May 2006, as part of three open market purchases, Cinemark USA, Inc. repurchased $10.0
million aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior subordinated notes for approximately $11.0
million, including accrued and unpaid interest. The transactions were funded by Cinemark USA, Inc.
with available cash from operations.
On March 6, 2007, Cinemark USA, Inc. commenced an offer to purchase for cash any and all of
its then outstanding $332.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. In
connection with the tender offer, Cinemark USA, Inc. solicited consents for certain proposed
amendments to the indenture to remove substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of
default provisions. On March 20, 2007, the early settlement date, Cinemark USA, Inc. repurchased
$332.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes and executed a
supplemental indenture removing substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events
of default. Cinemark USA, Inc. used the proceeds from the NCM transaction and cash on hand to
purchase the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered pursuant to the tender offer and consent
solicitation. On March 20, 2007, we and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.. as trustee to the
Indenture dated February 11, 2003, executed the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The Fourth
Supplemental Indenture became effective on March 20, 2007 and it amends the Indenture by
eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On
April 3, 2007, the Company repurchased an additional $0.1 million aggregate principal amount of the
9% senior subordinated notes tendered after the early settlement date.
As of September 30, 2007, Cinemark USA, Inc. had outstanding approximately $0.2 million
aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the
remaining 9% senior subordinated notes on or after February 1, 2008.
Seasonality
Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion
pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been
released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season,
extending from November through year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other
periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant
effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative
of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and other relevant market prices.
Interest Rate Risk
We are currently party to variable rate debt facilities. An increase or decrease in interest
rates would affect interest costs relating to our variable rate debt facilities. At September 30,
2007, there was an aggregate of approximately $609.2 million of variable rate debt outstanding
under these facilities (net of $500.0 million of debt subject to the interest rate swaps discussed
below). Based on the interest rate levels in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at
September 30, 2007, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual
interest expense by approximately $6.1 million.
During March 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective dates of
August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to hedge
approximately $500.0 million of our variable rate debt obligations. Under the terms of the interest
rate swap agreements, we pay fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375.0 million and $125.0 million,
respectively, of variable rate debt and receive interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month
LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest
rate-swaps for the three-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred
upon us entering into the interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest
rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps
were consummated. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
as such, we have effectively hedged our exposure to variability in the future cash flows
attributable to the 3-month LIBOR on approximately $500.0 million of debt. The change in the fair
values of the interest rate swaps is recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as an
asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps gains or losses reported
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in
earnings. At September 30, 2007, the estimated fair value of the interest rate swaps was a
liability of approximately $3.4 million.
The tables below provide information about our fixed rate and variable rate long-term debt

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as
a result of our international operations. Generally, we export from the U.S. certain of the
equipment and construction interior finish items and other operating supplies used by our
international subsidiaries. Principally all the revenues and operating expenses of our
international subsidiaries are transacted in the countrys local currency. Generally accepted
accounting principles in the U.S. require that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary
economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If our subsidiaries
operate in a highly inflationary economy, generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
require that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for the subsidiary. Currency
fluctuations result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation
adjustments relating to our international subsidiaries depending on the inflationary environment of
the country in which we operate. Based upon our equity ownership in our international subsidiaries
as of September 30, 2007, holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate unfavorable change in
each of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed would decrease the net fair
value of our investments in our international subsidiaries by approximately $35 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Exchange Act), as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. These disclosure
controls and procedures have been evaluated under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer for the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluations, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely basis to material information relating to the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no material changes in our system of internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect internal controls within the period covered by this report.
