i. | The Company’s revenue recognition policy has been revised to: a) treat the theater system equipment (including the projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine) and certain initial services associated with the theater system equipment as a single deliverable and as a single unit of accounting, b) require specific delivery and performance conditions be met; and c) require specific customer acceptance requirements be met. These revisions impact the timing of when the Company recognizes revenue from theater system sales and leases and resulted in revenue related to 14 transactions being moved to later years (revenue and net earnings impact of $27.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively). As a consequence, revenue and net earnings of $5.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to three transactions has been deferred to be recognized in years subsequent to 2006. The most significant impact was in 2005, where revenue for 10 installations was moved to later years (revenue and net earnings impact of $17.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively). Eight installations were moved to 2006 (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $14.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively) and two installations (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively) were moved to 2007. | ||
An additional 16 transactions (revenue and net earnings impact of $25.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively) moved between quarters in the year they were originally reported. These adjustments have been included in the restated “Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)” presented on page 132. | |||
Other adjustments related to theater systems include the misallocation of consideration to elements within certain multiple element arrangements, reclassification of certain transactions from sales to sales-type leases and from sales-type leases to operating leases given remaining lien rights or non-standard contractual provisions, inappropriate deferral and allocation of revenue to elements, and improperly recognized finance income on certain transactions. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of income of $1.9 million for the period 2002 through 2006. | |||
ii. | Adjustments for inventory costs, film and income tax accounting and the impact of prior periods’ unadjusted differences resulted in a net decrease of income of $4.6 million for periods prior to 2006 including a net decrease of income of $0.8 million in periods prior to 2002, $3.1 million of these timing adjustments increased income in 2006 with the remaining $1.5 million to increase income in 2007 and thereafter. |

(1) | The Company generally enters into theater system arrangements with customers that typically contain customer payment obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater systems. During the period of time between signing and theater system installations, certain customers each year are unable to, or elect not to proceed with theater system installations for a number of reasons, including business considerations, or the inability to obtain certain consents, approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not proceed with installation, the customer and/or the Company may terminate the arrangement by default or by entering into a consensual buyout. In these situations the parties are released from their future obligations under the arrangement, and the initial payments that the customer previously made to the Company are typically not refunded and recognized as revenue. In addition, since the introduction of its IMAX MPX system configuration in 2003, the Company has agreed with several customers to terminate their obligations for another theater system configuration, which were in the Company’s backlog, and agreed to acquire or lease an IMAX MPX system configuration. Included in Other Revenues for the periods 2002 through 2006 are the following types of settlement arrangements: |

(2) | In 2003, income from equity-accounted investees included a gain of $2.3 million from the release of a financial guarantee of a term loan which had been recorded previously by the Company as a liability. | |
(3) | In 2006, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.1 million related to the impairment of assets of certain theater operations and a revision in the estimates related to the residual values of certain leased assets. Asset impairment charges amounted to less than $0.1 million, $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million in 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, after the Company assessed the carrying value of certain assets. | |
(4) | During 2001, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company began purchasing and canceling a significant amount of the Company’s convertible subordinated notes due April 1, 2003 (the “Subordinated Notes”). During 2002, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased and cancelled an aggregate of $20.5 million of the Subordinated Notes for $8.1 million, represented by $6.0 million in cash by the subsidiary and $2.1 million in common shares by the Company. The Company cancelled the purchased Subordinated Notes and recorded a gain of $11.9 million. During 2003, the Company recorded a loss of $4.9 million related to costs associated with the repurchase, retirement and refinancing of $170.8 million of the Company’s 7.875% Senior Notes due 2005 (the “Old Senior Notes”). During 2003, the Company also repaid the remaining outstanding Subordinated Notes balance of $9.1 million. During 2004, the Company recorded a loss of $0.8 million related to costs associated with the redemption of $29.2 million of the Old Senior Notes. This transaction had the effect of fully extinguishing the Old Senior Notes. | |
(5) | Included in 2004 is a gain of $0.4 million from the sale of its equity investment in Mainframe Entertainment, Inc. (“MFE”). During 2003, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with MFE, whereby the parties settled all of MFE’s indebtedness and obligations to the Company arising under the Company’s 6.0% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture due from MFE. The Company had recorded a gain of $1.9 million related to the final settlement. During 2004, the Company also recorded a charge of $0.1 million related to the writedown of an investment. | |
(6) | In 2006, the Company recorded an increase to the deferred tax valuation allowance of $6.2 million based upon the Company’s recoverability assessments of deferred tax balances carried forward from the prior year. At December 31, 2006 the Company has determined that based on the weight of available evidence, positive and negative, a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax assets was required. | |
(7) | In 2003, the Company recorded a charge as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $0.2 million in accordance with SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. | |

• | Based on an analysis of fair values of elements within arrangements, the Company determined that fair value previously allocated in certain multiple element arrangements was not appropriate and has adjusted these amounts. | ||
• | The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions, for accounting purposes when the customer was granted title to the system until all payments were made and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer; and the timing of recognition of the minimum annual payments under certain arrangements. | ||
• | Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the Company meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The Company has deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an alternate theater system configuration. | ||
• | Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the recognition of finance income until the impairment issues were resolved. |

Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to correctly assess the identification of deliverables and their aggregation into units of accounting and in certain cases the point when certain units of accounting were substantially complete to allow for revenue recognition on a theater system. In addition, the Company did not have effective controls over other aspects of such transactions including identifying the fair values of certain future deliverables, identifying certain clauses in arrangements that impact revenue recognition, accounting for warranty costs, the appropriate accounting for certain settlement agreements and the recognition of finance income on impaired receivables. | ||
2. | The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained related to the classification and accurate recording of marketing and advertising costs of co-produced film productions, production fees on co-produced films and the application of the individual-film forecast computation method to film assets, participation liabilities and deferred production fees. | ||
3. | The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over the accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained related to the classification of fees paid to a professional services firm. | ||
4. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate recording of postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant contractual provisions within its executive employment contracts. |
5. | The Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not in place such that the tax provisions were appropriately allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. This control deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to the Company’s 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting the provisions for income taxes, net earnings from discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. |

6. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to raise on a timely basis certain issues relating to observations of the installation process, any remaining installation or operating obligations, and concessions on contractual terms that may impact the accuracy and timing of revenue recognition. This control deficiency contributed to the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2005, its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2006, and audit adjustments to the Company’s 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses, financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and related disclosures. | ||
7. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Company’s financial reporting. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the status of a review of cap limits under the Company’s Stock Option Plan that affected the recording and related disclosure of stock-based compensation benefits. This control deficiency contributed to a restatement of the Company’s September 30, 2006 financial statements, affecting accrued liabilities, other equity and selling, general and administrative expenses, and related disclosures. |

1. | Description of the Business | |
IMAX Corporation together with its consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) is an entertainment technology company specializing in digital and film based motion picture technologies, whose principal activities are the: |
• | Design, manufacture, sale and lease of proprietary theater systems for IMAX theaters principally owned and operated by commercial and institutional customers located in 40 countries as of December 31, 2006; | ||
• | Production, digital re-mastering, post-production and/or distribution of certain films shown throughout the IMAX theater network; | ||
• | Operation of certain IMAX theaters primarily in the United States and Canada; | ||
• | Provision of other services to the IMAX theater network including ongoing maintenance and extended warranty services for IMAX theater systems; and | ||
• | Other activities, which includes short term rental of cameras and aftermarket sales of projector system components. |
The Company’s revenues from equipment and product sales include revenues from the sale and sales-type leasing of its theater systems and sales of their associated parts and accessories, contingent rentals on sales-type leases and contingent additional payments on sales transactions. | ||
The Company’s revenues from services include revenues from the provision of maintenance and extended warranty, digital re-mastering services, revenues from film production and film post-production services, film distribution revenues, and revenues from the operation of its owned and operated theaters. | ||
The Company’s revenues from rentals include revenues from the lease of its theater systems that are considered operating leases, contingent rentals on operating leases, and revenues from the rental of the Company’s cameras and camera equipment and revenue from joint revenue sharing arrangements. | ||
The Company’s finance income represents interest income arising from the sales-type lease and financed sale arrangements of the Company’s theater systems. | ||
The Company’s other revenues include income from the settlement of contractual obligations with customers prior to the installation of theater systems. | ||
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: | ||
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant differences between United States and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Canadian GAAP”) are described in note 29. | ||
(a) | Basis of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which the Company has identified as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. | ||
The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). The Company has five film production companies that are VIEs. As the Company is exposed to the majority of the expected losses for one of the film production companies, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of this entity. The Company continues to consolidate this entity, with no material impact on the operating results or financial condition of the Company, as this production company has total assets and total liabilities of $nil as at December 31, 2006 (December 31, 2005 — $nil). For the other four film production companies which are VIEs, the Company did not consolidate these film entities since it does not bear the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns. The Company equity accounts for these entities. As of December 31, 2006, these four VIEs have total assets of $0.4 million (December 31, 2005 — $0.3 million) and total liabilities of $0.4 million (December 31, 2005 — $0.3 million). Earnings or (losses) of the investees included in the company’s net earnings or loss amounted to $nil for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, respectively. The carrying value of these investments in VIEs that are not consolidated is $nil at December 31, 2006 (2005 — $nil). A loss in value of an investment other than a temporary decline is recognized as a charge to earnings. |

In accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
( Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars. unless otherwise stated)
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(a) | Basis of Consolidation(cont’d) | |
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including all unrealized intercompany profits on transactions with equity-accounted investees, have been eliminated. | ||
(b) | Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to: fair values associated with the individual elements in multiple element arrangements; residual values of leased theater systems; economic lives of leased assets; allowances for potential uncollectibility of accounts receivable, financing receivables and net investment in leases; provisions for inventory obsolescence; ultimate revenues for film assets; estimates of fair values for film assets, long-lived assets and goodwill; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful lives of intangible assets; pension plan assumptions; accruals for contingencies including tax contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; and, estimates of the fair value of stock-based payment awards. | ||
(c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and any restricted cash to be cash equivalents. | ||
(d) | Short-Term Investments | |
The Company has short-term investments which have maturities of more than three months and less than one year from the date of purchase. During November 2006, the Company changed the classification of these short-term investments from ‘held to maturity’ to ‘available for sale’ because the Company sold an investment (with a carrying value of $6.4 million) before its maturity date in order to meet its cash requirements at the time. The realized gain resulting from that sale was $0.02 million. As a consequence, the Company’s short-term investments are accounted for at fair market value. Prior to November 2006, short-term investments were held at amortized cost and were classified as held to maturity based on the Company’s positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. | ||
The Company invests primarily in Canadian and U.S. government securities and commercial paper rated “A1+” by Standard & Poor’s. Income related to these securities is reported as a component of interest income. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $2.1 million (2005 — $6.1 million) invested in Canadian government securities and $nil (2005 — $2.1 million) invested in U.S. government securities. The Company recorded interest income of $0.4 million (2005 — $0.5 million) from its short-term investments. | ||
(e) | Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables | |
Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are based on the Company’s assessment of the collectibility of specific customer balances, which is based upon a review of the customer’s credit worthiness, past collection history and the underlying asset value of the equipment, where applicable. Interest on overdue accounts receivable is recognized as income as the amounts are collected. | ||
The Company monitors the performance of the theaters to which it has leased or sold theater systems which are subject to ongoing payments. When facts and circumstances indicate that there is a potential impairment in the net investment in lease or a financing receivable, the Company will evaluate the potential outcome of either renegotiations involving changes in the terms of the receivable or defaults on the existing lease or financed sale agreements. The Company will record a provision if it is considered probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the arrangement or a renegotiated lease amount will cause a reclassification of the sales-type lease to an operating lease. When the net investment in lease or the financing receivable is impaired, the Company will recognize a valuation allowance for the difference between the carrying value in the investment and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate for the net investment in the lease or the financing receivable. If the Company expects to recover the theater system, the provision is equal to the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the fair value of the equipment. When the minimum lease payments are renegotiated and the lease continues to be classified as a sales-type lease, the reduction in payments is applied to reduce unearned finance income. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(e) | Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables(cont’d) | |
These provisions are adjusted when there is a significant change in the amount or timing of the expected future cash flows or actual cash flows differ from cash flow previously expected. | ||
Once a net investment in lease or financing receivable is considered impaired, the Company does not recognize interest income until the collectibility issues are resolved. When finance income is not recognized, any payments received are applied against outstanding gross minimum lease amounts receivable or gross receivables from financed sales. | ||
(f) | Inventories | |
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost determined on an average cost basis, and net realizable value, except for raw materials, which are carried at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, theater design costs, and an applicable share of manufacturing overhead costs. | ||
The Company records provisions for obsolete inventory based upon current estimates of future events and conditions, including the anticipated installation dates for the current backlog of theater system contracts, signings in negotiation and anticipated market acceptance of the Company’s current and pending theater systems. | ||
Finished goods inventories can contain theater systems for which title has passed to the Company’s customer as the theater system has been delivered to the customer, however, the revenue recognition criteria as discussed in note 2(n) have not been met. The cost related to these theater systems are relieved from inventory when the revenue is recognized on the sale or sales-type lease arrangements. At December 31, 2006, finished goods inventory for which title had passed to the customer amounted to $0.4 million (2005 – $1.0 million). | ||
(g) | Film Assets | |
Costs of producing films, including labor, allocated overhead, capitalized interest, and costs of acquiring film rights are recorded as film assets and accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films”. Production financing provided by third parties that acquire substantive rights in the film is recorded as a reduction of the cost of the production. Film assets are amortized and participation costs are accrued using the individual-film-forecast method in the same ratio that current gross revenues bear to current and anticipated future ultimate revenues. Estimates of ultimate revenues are prepared on a title-by-title basis and reviewed regularly by management and revised where necessary to reflect the most current information. Ultimate revenue for films includes estimates of revenue over a period not to exceed ten years following the date of initial release. | ||
Film exploitation costs, including advertising costs, are expensed as incurred. | ||
Costs, including labor and allocated overhead, of digitally re-mastering films where the copyright is owned by a third party and the Company shares in the revenue of the third party are included in film assets. These costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method in the same ratio that current gross revenues bear to current and anticipated future ultimate revenues from the re-mastered film. | ||
The recoverability of film assets is dependent upon commercial acceptance of the films. If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film asset is less than the unamortized film costs, the film is written down to its fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its films using a discounted cash flow model. | ||
(h) | Property, Plant and Equipment | |
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: |
Theater system components | — | 5 to 15 years | ||
Camera equipment | — | 5 to 10 years | ||
Buildings | — | 20 to 25 years | ||
Office and production equipment | — | 3 to 5 years | ||
Leasehold improvements | — | Over the shorter of the initial term of the underlying leases plus any reasonably assured renewal terms, and the useful life of the asset |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(h) | Property, Plant and Equipment(cont’d) | |
The Company reviews the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of impairment losses is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. In 2006, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of some of its projection system components on a prospective basis to reflect the Company’s planned transition to a digital projector, for a large portion of its commercial theater customer base, resulting in increased depreciation expense of $0.3 million per year until 2010. | ||
A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs are recognized in the period in which is the liability and costs are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently amortized over the assets useful life. | ||
(i) | Other Assets | |
Other assets include unrecognized prior service pension costs for years prior to 2006, cash surrender value of life insurance policies, deferred charges on debt financing and deferred selling costs that are direct and incremental to the acquisition of sales contracts. | ||
Costs of debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt. | ||
Selling costs related to an arrangement incurred prior to recognition of the related revenue are deferred and recognized upon recognition of the contract’s theater system revenue. | ||
(j) | Goodwill | |
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flows approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any impairment loss would be immediately expensed in the consolidated statement of operations. | ||
(k) | Other Intangible Assets | |
Patents, trademarks and other intangibles are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 10 years. In 2006, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of some of its patents on a prospective basis to reflect the Company’s planned transition to a digital projector, for a large portion of its commercial theater customer base, resulting in increased amortization expense of less than $0.1 million per year until 2010. | ||
The Company reviews the carrying values of its other intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of the impairment losses is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. |

(l) | Deferred Revenue | |
Deferred revenue represents cash received prior to revenue recognition criteria being met for theater system sales or leases, film contracts and maintenance and extended warranty services film related services and film distribution. | ||
(m) | Income Taxes | |
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized in earnings in the period in which the change is enacted. Investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense. | ||
The Company assesses realization of deferred income tax assets and based on all available evidence, concludes whether it is more likely than not that the net deferred income tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred income tax assets not considered to be realizable. | ||
(n) | Revenue Recognition | |
Multiple Element Arrangements | ||
The Company’s revenue arrangements with certain customers may involve multiple elements consisting of a theater system (projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, a 3D glasses cleaning machine); services associated with the theater system including theater design support, supervision of installation, and projectionist training; a license to use of the IMAX brand; 3D glasses; maintenance and extended warranty services; and licensing of films. The Company evaluates all elements in an arrangement to determine what are considered typical deliverables for accounting purposes and which of the deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on the applicable accounting guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS 13”); FASB Technical Bulletin No. 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance” Contracts (“FTB 90-1”); Statement of Position 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”); and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). If separate units of accounting are either required under the relevant accounting standards or determined to be applicable under EITF 00-21, the total consideration received or receivable in the arrangement is allocated based on the applicable guidance in the above noted standards. | ||
Theater Systems | ||
The Company has identified the projection system, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, the 3D glasses cleaning machine, theater design support, supervision of installation, projectionist training and the use of the IMAX brand, generally to be a single deliverable and a single unit of accounting (the “System Deliverable”). The Company generally is not responsible for the physical installation of the equipment in the customer’s facility; however, the Company supervises the installation by the customer. Generally, the customer has the right to use the IMAX brand from the date the Company and the customer enter into an arrangement. | ||
The Company’s System Deliverable arrangements involve either a lease or a sale of the theater system. The consideration in the Company’s arrangements typically consist of upfront or initial payments made before and after the final installation of the theater system equipment and ongoing payments throughout the term of the lease or over a period of time, as specified in the arrangement. The ongoing payments generally provide for a fee which is the greater of a fixed amount or a certain percentage of the theater box-office. The amounts over the fixed minimum amounts are considered contingent payments. The Company’s arrangements are generally non-cancellable, unless the Company fails to perform its obligations. In the absence of a material default by the Company, there is typically no right to any remedy for the customer under the Company’s arrangements. If a material default by the Company exists, the customer has the right to terminate the arrangement and seek a refund only if the customer provides notice to the Company of a material default and only if the Company does not cure the default within a specified period. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(n) | Revenue Recognition(cont’d) | |
Sales Arrangements | ||
For sales arrangements, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. | ||
The initial revenue recognized consists of the initial payments received and the present value of any future initial payments and fixed minimum ongoing payments that have been attributed to this unit of accounting. Contingent fees in excess of the fixed minimum ongoing payments are recognized when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured. | ||
The Company has also agreed, on occasion, to sell equipment under lease or at the end of a lease term. Consideration agreed to for these lease buyouts is included in revenues from equipment and product sales, when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. | ||
Lease Arrangements | ||
The Company uses the guidance in EITF Issue No. 01-8, “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” (“EITF 01-8”), to evaluate whether an arrangement is a lease within the scope of SFAS 13. Arrangements not within the scope of SFAS 13 are accounted for either as a sales or services arrangement, as applicable. | ||
For lease arrangements, the Company determines the classification of the lease in accordance with SFAS 13. A lease arrangement that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incident to ownership of the equipment is classified as a sales-type lease based on the criteria established by SFAS 13; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Prior to commencement of the lease term for the equipment, the Company may modify certain payment terms or make concessions. If these circumstances occur, the Company reassesses the classification of the lease based on the modified terms and conditions. | ||
For sales-type leases, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized when the lease term commences, which the Company deems to be when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided collectibility is reasonably assured. | ||
The initial revenue recognized for sales-type leases consists of the initial rents received and the present value of future initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents computed at the interest rate implicit in the lease. Contingent rents in excess of the fixed minimum rents are recognized when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured. | ||
For operating leases, initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For operating leases, the lease term is considered to commence when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater. Contingent fees in excess of fixed minimum ongoing fees are recognized as revenue when reported by theater operators, provided that collection is reasonably assured. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(n) | Revenue Recognition(cont’d) | |
Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements | ||
For joint revenue sharing arrangements, where the Company receives a portion of the a theater’s box-office and concession revenue in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater operator’s venue, revenue is recognized when reported by the theater operator, provided that collection is reasonably assured. Revenue recognized related to these arrangements for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004 included in rental revenue was $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $nil, respectively. | ||
Finance Income | ||
Finance income is recognized over the term of the lease or financed sales receivable, provided that collection is reasonably assured. The Company ceases to recognize finance income when the receivable is considered to be impaired. | ||
Improvements and Modifications | ||
Improvements and modifications to the theater system after installation are treated as separate revenue transactions, if and when the Company is requested to perform these services. Revenue is recognized for these services when the performance of the services has been completed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. | ||
Cost of Equipment Sold and Rentals | ||
Cost of equipment sold includes the cost of the equipment and costs related to project management, design, delivery and installation supervision services as applicable. These costs are recognized as a charge to cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company defers direct selling costs such as sales commissions as other assets related to these contracts until the related revenue is recognized. The Company may have warranty obligations at or after the time revenue is recognized which require replacement of certain parts that do not affect the functionality of the theater system or services. The costs for these warranty obligations are accrued for known issues based on the Company’s past historical experience and cost estimates. | ||
For theater systems and other equipment subject to an operating lease or placed in a theater operators’ venue under a joint revenue sharing arrangement, the equipment is included within property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and impairment losses, if any, are included in cost of rentals based on the accounting policy set out in note 2(h). | ||
Terminations and Consensual Buyout | ||
The Company generally enters into theater system arrangements with customers that typically contain customer payment obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater system. During the period of time between signing and the installation of the theater system, which may extend several years, certain customers may be unable to, or elect not to, proceed with the theater system installation for a number of reasons including business considerations, or the inability to obtain certain consents, approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not proceed with installation, the arrangement may be terminated under the default provisions of the arrangement or by mutual agreement between the Company and the customer (a “consensual buyout”). Terminations by default are situations when a customer does not meet the payment obligations under an arrangement and the Company retains the amounts paid by the customer which are recorded in Other revenues. Under a consensual buyout, the Company and the customer agree, in writing, to a settlement and to release each other of any further obligations under the arrangement or an arbitrated settlement is reached. Any initial payments retained or additional payment received by the Company are recognized as revenue when the settlement arrangements are executed and the cash is received, respectively. These termination and consensual buyout amounts are recognized in Other revenues. |

Terminations and Consensual Buyout(cont’d) | ||
In addition, since the introduction of the IMAX MPX theater system in 2003, the Company has agreed with several customers to convert their obligations for other theater system configurations that have not yet been installed to arrangements to acquire or lease the IMAX MPX theater system. The Company considers these situations to be a termination of the previous arrangement and origination of a new arrangement for the MPX theater system. The Company continues to defer an amount of any initial fees received from the customer such that the aggregate of the fees deferred and the net present value of the future fixed initial and ongoing payments to be received from the customer equals the fair value of the IMAX MPX theater system to be leased or acquired by the customer. Any residual portion of the initial fees received from the customer for the terminated theater system is recorded in Other Revenues at the time when the obligation for the original theater system is terminated and the IMAX MPX theater system arrangement is signed. | ||
The Company may offer certain incentives to customers to complete theater system transactions including payment concessions or free services and products such as film licenses or 3D glasses. The payment concessions generally do not affect the classification of leases. Reductions in and deferral of payments are taken into account in determining the sales price either by a direct reduction in the sales price or a reduction of unearned income in accordance with SFAS 13 or Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 21, “Interest on Receivables and Payables” (“APB 21”). Free products and services generally are accounted for as separate units of accounting. | ||
Maintenance and Extended Warranty Services | ||
Maintenance and extended warranty services may be provided under a multiple element arrangement or as a separately priced contract. Revenue related to these services are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Maintenance and extended warranty services includes maintenance of the customer’s equipment and spare replacement parts. Under certain maintenance arrangements, maintenance services may include training services to the customer’s technicians. All costs associated with this maintenance program are expensed as incurred. A loss on maintenance and extended warranty services is recognized if the expected cost of providing the services under the contracts exceeds the related deferred revenue. | ||
Film Production and IMAX DMR Services | ||
In certain film arrangements, the Company produces a film financed by third parties whereby the third party retain the copyright and the Company obtains exclusive distribution rights. Under these arrangements, the Company is entitled to receive a fixed fee or to retain as a fee the excess of funding over cost of production (the “production fee”). The third parties receive a portion of the revenues received by the Company on distributing the film which is charged to costs of revenue. The production fees are deferred and recognized as a rebate of the cost of the film based on the ratio of the Company’s distribution revenues recognized in the current period to the ultimate distribution revenues expected from the film. | ||
Revenue from film production services where the Company does not hold the associated distribution rights are recognized when performance of the contractual service is complete, provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. | ||
Revenues from digitally re-mastering (IMAX DMR) film where third parties own or hold the copyrights and the rights to distribute the film are derived in the form of processing fees and recoupments calculated as a percentage of box-office receipts generated from the re-mastered films. Processing fees are recognized as revenues when the performance of the related re-mastering service is completed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Recoupments calculated as a percentage of box-office receipts are recognized as revenue when reported by the third party that owns or holds the related film rights, provided that collection is reasonably assured. | ||
Losses on film production and IMAX DMR services are recognized in the period when it is determined that the Company’s estimate of total revenues to be realized by the Company will not exceed estimated total production costs to be expended on the film production and the cost of IMAX DMR services. |

Film Distribution | ||
Revenue from the licensing of films is recognized when a licensing arrangement exists, the film has been completed and delivered, the license period has begun, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. When license fees are based on a percentage of box-office receipts, revenue is recognized when reported by exhibitors, provided that collection is reasonably assured. | ||
Film Post-Production Services | ||
Revenues from post-production film services are recognized when performance of the contracted services is complete. | ||
Theater Operations Revenue | ||
The Company recognizes revenue from its owned and operated theaters resulting from box-office ticket and concession sales as tickets are sold, films are shown and upon the sale of various concessions. The sales generally are cash or credit card transactions with theatergoers based on fixed prices per seat or per concession item. | ||
In addition, the Company enters into commercial arrangements with third party theater owners resulting in the sharing of profits and losses which are recognized when reported by such theaters. The Company also provides management services to certain theaters and recognizes revenue over the term of such services. | ||
Other | ||
Revenues on camera rentals are recognized over the rental period. | ||
Revenue from the sale of 3D glasses is recognized when the 3D glasses have been delivered to the customer. | ||
Other service revenues are recognized when the performance of contracted services is complete. | ||
(o) | Research and Development | |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and primarily include projector and sound parts, labor, consulting fees, allocation of overheads and other related materials which pertain to the Company’s development of ongoing product and services. | ||
(p) | Foreign Currency Translation | |
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company’s operations which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at exchange rates prevalent at the transaction date. Such exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net earnings (loss) in the period in which they arise. Since 2001, the Company has not had any foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies(cont’d) | |
(q) | Stock-Based Compensation | |
The Company has certain stock-based payment award plans as further described in note 17(c). Stock-based compensation expense recovery recognized for employees of the Company in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $0.6 million expense, $0.2 million recovery and $0.1 million expense, respectively, net of recognized tax benefits of $nil for all three years. Total stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested employee stock-based payment awards not yet recognized at December 31, 2006 and the weighted average period over which the awards are expected to be recognized is $1.5 million and 3.2 years, respectively. | ||
Adoption of FAS 123R for Employee Awards | ||
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors for employee stock options based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payments” (“SAB 107”), relating to SFAS 123R. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. | ||
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006 to new awards, nonvested and outstanding awards as of January 1, 2006, or to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. No transition adjustment resulted from adopting SFAS 123R. | ||
SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of employee stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using fair value measurement techniques such as an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations if the exercise prices of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors were less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, or terms of options were modified, or for awards that were accounted for as liabilities, based on changes in the intrinsic value of the award. | ||
For the year beginning January 1, 2006, stock-based compensation expense includes compensation cost for new employee stock-based payment awards granted and employee awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2006. In addition, compensation expense includes the compensation cost, based on the grant-date fair value calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, for the portion of awards for which requires service had not been rendered that were outstanding as of January 1, 2006. Compensation expense for these employee awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if subsequent information indicated that the actual forfeitures are likely to be different from previous estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company also estimated forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods. |

4. | Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements |
i. | The Company’s revenue recognition policy has been revised to: a) treat the theater system equipment (including the projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine) and certain initial services associated with the theater system equipment as a single deliverable and as a single unit of accounting, b) require specific delivery and performance conditions be met; and c) require specific customer acceptance requirements be met. These revisions impact the timing of when the Company recognizes revenue from theater system sales and leases and resulted in revenue related to 14 transactions being moved to later years (revenue and net earnings impact of $27.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively). As a consequence, revenue and net earnings of $5.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to three transactions has been deferred to be recognized in years subsequent to 2006. The most significant impact was in 2005, when revenue for 10 installations was moved to later years (revenue and net earnings impact of $17.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively). Eight installations were moved to 2006 (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $14.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively) and two installations (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively) were moved to 2007. | ||
Other adjustments related to theater systems include the misallocation of consideration to elements within certain multiple element arrangements, reclassification of certain transactions from sales to sales-type leases and from sales-type leases to operating leases given remaining lien rights or non-standard contractual provisions, inappropriate deferral and allocation of revenue to elements, and improperly recognized finance income on certain transactions. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of income of $1.9 million for the period 2002 through 2006. | |||
ii. | Adjustments for inventory costs, film and income tax accounting and the impact of prior periods’ unadjusted differences resulted in a net decrease of income of $4.6 million for periods prior to 2006, $3.1 million of these adjustments increased income in 2006 with the remaining $1.5 million to increase income in 2007 and thereafter. |

Revenue Recognition – Theater Systems |
§ | Based on an analysis of fair values of elements within arrangements, the Company determined that fair value previously allocated in certain multiple element arrangements was not appropriate and has adjusted these amounts. | ||
§ | The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions, for accounting purposes when the customer was granted title to the system until all payments were made and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer; and the timing of recognition of the minimum annual payments under certain arrangements. | ||
§ | Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the Company meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The Company has deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an alternate theater system configuration. | ||
§ | Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the recognition of finance income until the impairment issues were resolved. |

The Company expects to amortize approximately $0.5 million of other intangible assets for each of the next 5 years. Fully amortized other intangible assets are still in use by the Company. | ||
12. | Senior Notes due 2010 | |
In December 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $160.0 million principal amount of 9.625% Senior Notes due December 1, 2010 (the “Unregistered Senior Notes”) to a group of initial purchasers. In November 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer wherein $159.0 million of the Company’s Unregistered Senior Notes were exchanged for Senior Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registered Senior Notes”). Apart from the fact that the Registered Senior Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, the Unregistered Senior Notes and the Registered Senior Notes are substantially identical and are referred to herein as the “Senior Notes”. | ||
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.625% per annum and are unsecured obligations that rank equally with any of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The payment of principal, premium, if any and interest on the Senior Notes is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption for cash by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 1, 2007, at redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount for each 12-month period commencing December 1 of the years indicated: 2007 – 104.813%; 2008 – 102.406%; 2009 and thereafter - 100.000%, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. If certain changes were to result in the imposition of withholding taxes under Canadian law, the Senior Notes are subject to redemption at the Company’s option, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In the event of a change in control, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. In addition, prior to December 1, 2006, under certain conditions, the Company could have redeemed up to 35% of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at 109.625% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. | ||
The terms of the Company’s Senior Notes impose certain restrictions on its operating and financing activities, including certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to: incur certain additional indebtedness; make certain distributions or certain other restricted payments; grant liens; create certain dividend and other payment restrictions affecting the Company’s subsidiaries; sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. | ||
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding $159.0 million (2005 – $159.0 million) aggregate principal of Registered Senior Notes and $1.0 million (2005 – $1.0 million) aggregate principal of Unregistered Senior Notes. | ||
The terms of the Company’s Senior Notes require that annual and quarterly financial statements are filed with the Trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines. If these financial reporting covenants are breached then this is considered an event of default under the terms of the Senior Notes and the Company has 30 days to cure this default, after which the Senior Notes become due and payable. |

12. | Senior Notes due 2010(cont’d) | |
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 beyond the required public company filing deadline due to the discovery of certain accounting errors, broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting matters based on comments received by the Company from the SEC and OSC, and ultimately restated financial statements for certain periods. The filing delay resulted in the Company being in default of a financial reporting covenant under the indenture dated as of December 4, 2003, and as thereafter amended and supplemented, governing the Company’s Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Indenture”). | ||
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from holders of approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the “Consenting Holders”) to execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture with the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture waived any defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the Indenture’s reporting covenant requiring that annual and quarterly financial statements are filed with the trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines, and extended until May 31, 2007, or at the Company’s election until June 30, 2007 (the “Covenant Reversion Date”), the date by which the Company’s failure to comply with the reporting covenant shall constitute a default, or be the basis for an event of default under the Indenture. The Company paid consent fees of $1.0 million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the Company provided notice to the holders of the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant Reversion Date to June 30, 2007. The Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the Consenting Holders. Because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by June 30, 2007, it was in default of the reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007, and received notice of such default on July 2, 2007. The Company expects to cure such default under the Indenture, which provides for a 30-day cure period for defaults under the reporting covenant, by filing this 10-K and the first quarter 2007 10-Q by the end of the 30-day cure period. | ||
13. | Old Senior Notes due 2005 | |
In December 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million of Senior Notes due December 1, 2005 bearing interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum (the “Old Senior Notes”). | ||
During 2003, the Company retired an aggregate of $47.2 million principal amount of the Old Senior Notes and completed a tender offer and consent solicitation for its remaining $152.8 million of the Old Senior Notes. In December 2003, $123.6 million in principal of the Old Senior Notes were redeemed pursuant to the tender offer. Notice of Redemption for all remaining outstanding Old Senior Notes was delivered on December 4, 2003 and the remaining $29.2 million of outstanding Old Senior Notes were redeemed on January 2, 2004. A loss of $0.8 million related to the retirement was recorded in 2004. | ||
Interest expense on the Old Senior Notes amounted to less than $0.1 million in 2004. | ||
14. | Credit Facility | |
On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement for a secured revolving credit facility as amended on June 30, 2005 and as further amended by the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement which was entered into with effect from May 16, 2006 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility expiring on October 31, 2009 with an optional one-year renewal thereafter contingent upon approval by the lender, permitting maximum aggregate borrowings of $40.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation which includes the Company’s financing receivables, operating leases, finished goods inventory and capital assets with certain reserve requirements and deductions for outstanding letters of credit. As at December 31, 2006, the Company’s current borrowing capacity under such calculation is $23.6 million after deduction for outstanding letters of credit of $9.4 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at the applicable prime rate per annum or LIBOR plus a margin as specified therein per annum and is collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the current and future assets of the Company. The Credit Facility contains typical affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to: incur certain additional indebtedness; make certain loans, investments or guarantees; pay dividends; make certain asset sales; incur certain liens or other encumbrances; conduct certain transactions with affiliates and enter into certain corporate transactions. In addition, the Credit Facility agreement contains customary events of default, including upon an acquisition or a change of control that may have a material adverse effect on the Company or a guarantor. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain, over a period of time, a minimum level of cash collections and a minimum level of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization including film asset amortization, stock and other non-cash compensation, write downs (recoveries), and asset impairment charges, and other non-cash uses of funds calculated on a trailing four quarter basis, of not less than $20.0 million. |

14. | Credit Facility(cont’d) | |
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has to comply with several reporting requirements including the delivery of audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year. | ||
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for certain periods during the fiscal years 2002 – 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender waived the requirement for the Company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents were delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that an event of default would not be deemed to have occurred unless the Company’s 10-K filing does not occur by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Company’s Indenture governing its Senior Notes, which has not been cured within the applicable grace period. | ||
15. | Commitments | |
(a) | The Company’s lease commitments consist of rent and equipment under operating leases. The Company accounts for any incentives provided over the term of the lease. Total minimum annual rental payments to be made by the Company under operating leases are as follows: |
2007 | $ | 5,824 | ||
2008 | 5,651 | |||
2009 | 5,511 | |||
2010 | 5,656 | |||
2011 | 5,793 | |||
Thereafter | 14,293 | |||
$ | 42,728 | |||
Rent expense was $5.1 million for 2006 (2005 – $4.8 million, 2004 – $4.5 million), net of sublease rental of $0.7 million (2005 – $0.6 million, 2004 – $0.6 million). | ||
(b) | As at December 31, 2006, the Company has letters of credit of $9.4 million outstanding under the Company’s credit facility arrangement (see note 14). In addition, as at December 31, 2006, the Company has Performance Security Guarantees of $0.6 million outstanding that have been guaranteed through Export Development Canada. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had letters of credit of $7.6 million outstanding, which had been collateralized by cash deposits. | |
(c) | The Company compensates its sales force with both fixed and variable compensation. Commissions on the sale or lease of the Company’s theater systems are payable in graduated amounts from the time of collection of the customer’s first payment to the Company up to the collection of the customer’s last initial payment. At December 31, 2006, $0.3 million (2005 - $0.4 million, 2004 – $0.2 million) of commissions will be payable in future periods if the Company collects its initial payments as anticipated. | |
16. | Contingencies and Guarantees | |
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, the Company will make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to the claims at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case. Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Company’s determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such a change in determination, settlement or judgment occurs. | ||
The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred. |

16. | Contingencies and Guarantees(cont’d) | |
(a) | In March 2005, the Company, together with Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (“3DMG”), filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, against In-Three, Inc. (“In-Three”) alleging patent infringement. On March 10, 2006, the Company and In-Three entered into a settlement agreement settling the dispute between the Company and In-Three. On June 12, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, entered a stay in the proceedings against In-Three pending the arbitration of disputes between the Company and 3DMG. Arbitration was initiated by the Company against 3DMG on May 15, 2006 before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New York, alleging breaches of the license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG. On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that the Company breached the parties’ license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the Arbitration Panel unanimously denied 3DMG’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the Company’s claims and 3DMG’s counterclaims. An evidentiary hearing on liability issues has been set for September 2007 with further proceedings on damages issues to be scheduled if and when necessary. The Company will continue to pursue its claims vigorously and believes that all allegations made by 3DMG are without merit. The Company further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in connection with the counterclaims would not have a material impact on the financial position or operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of the arbitration. | |
(b) | In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theater Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced an arbitration seeking damages of approximately $3.7 million before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chambers of Commerce (the “ICC”) with respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (“EML”) of its December 2000 agreement with the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against EML’s affiliate, E-CITI Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (“E-Citi”), seeking $17.8 million in damages as a result of E-Citi’s breach of a September 2000 lease agreement. The arbitration hearing on both claims took place in November 2005. On February 1, 2006, the ICC issued an award on liability finding unanimously in the Company’s favor on all claims. The ICC hearings to determine the amount of damages to be awarded to the Company took place in July 2006, and a further hearing took place on December 2006. The ICC panel has not yet rendered its decision with respect to damages and no amount has yet been recorded for these damages. | |
(c) | In June 2004, Robots of Mars, Inc. (“Robots”) initiated an arbitration proceeding against the Company in California with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to an arbitration provision in a 1994 film production agreement between Robots’ predecessor-in-interest and a subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and intentional interference with contract. Robots is seeking an accounting of the Company’s revenues and an award of all sums alleged to be due to Robots under the production agreement, as well as punitive damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the arbitration proceeding and believes the amount of the loss, if any, that may be suffered in connection with this proceeding will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such arbitration. | |
(d) | The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in eight purported class action lawsuits filed between August 11, 2006 and September 18, 2006, alleging violations of U.S. federal securities laws. These eight actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuits, brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between October 28, 2004 and August 9, 2006, allege primarily that the defendants engaged in securities fraud by disseminating materially false and misleading statements during the class period regarding the Company’s revenue recognition of theater system installations, and failing to disclose material information concerning the Company’s revenue recognition practices. These lawsuits seek unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. On January 18, 2007, the Court consolidated all eight class action lawsuits and appointed Westchester Capital Management, Inc. as the lead plaintiff and Abbey Spanier Rodd Abrams & Paradis LLP as lead plaintiff’s counsel. On April 26, 2007, the lead plaintiff and the Company entered into a stipulation extending the time in which the lead plaintiff must file a consolidated amended complaint until sixty days after the Company files this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The lawsuit is at a very early stage and as a result the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss exposure. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the complaints are meritless and will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of such proceedings. The Company’s directors and officers insurance policy provides for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits. |

16. | Contingencies and Guarantees(cont’d) | |
(e) | A class action lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2006 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of Canadian securities laws. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the Company’s securities between February 17, 2006 and August 9, 2006. The lawsuit is in a very early stage and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs and expenses. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss exposure. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the statement of claim are meritless and will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such proceedings. The Company’s directors and officers insurance policy provides for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits. | |
(f) | On May 10, 2007, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II, a holder of Senior Notes, filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County alleging common law fraud, challenging the consent solicitation through which the Company requested and obtained a waiver of any and all defaults arising from a failure to comply with the reporting covenant under the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and seeking a declaration that the consent solicitation was legally ineffective due to alleged misstatements made by the Company. The complaint further seeks a declaration that the Company has defaulted on its reporting obligations under the indenture as a result of its failure to timely file its annual and quarterly reports, and the Company’s stated expectation that it will restate certain of the financial statements it filed during the 2001 through 2006 time period. The litigation is at a preliminary stage and as a result, the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss exposure. On June 29, 2007, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The Company believes this lawsuit is entirely without merit and plans to defend it vigorously, although no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of such proceedings. | |
(g) | In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal proceedings which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, will not materially affect the Company’s financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. | |
(h) | In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may contain features that meet the FIN 45 definition of a guarantee. FIN 45 defines a guarantee to be a contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Company to make payments (either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, shares of its stock or provision of services) to a third party based on (a) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (b) failure of another party to perform under an obligating agreement or (c) failure of another third party to pay its indebtedness when due. | |
Financial Guarantees | ||
The Company has provided no significant financial guarantees to third parties. | ||

16. | Contingencies and Guarantees(cont’d) | |
Director/Officer Indemnifications | ||
The Company’s General By-law contains an indemnification of its directors/officers, former directors/officers and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by theCanada Business Corporations Act, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and any amount actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The nature of the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, with respect to this indemnity. | ||
Other Indemnification Agreements | ||
In the normal course of the Company’s operations, it provides indemnifications to counterparties in transactions such as: theater system lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation or servicing of the theater systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Company’s breach or non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification, however virtually all of the Company’s system lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities. | ||
17. | Capital Stock | |

Stock Option Plan | ||
The Company’s Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to employees, directors and consultants. | ||
As at December 31, 2006, the Company has reserved a total of 6,974,657 (2005 – 7,046,689) common shares for future issuance under the Stock Option Plan, of which options in respect of 5,100,995 common shares are outstanding at December 31, 2006. Options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s stock at the grant date. The options generally vest between one and five years and expire 10 years or less from the date granted. The Plan provides that vesting will be accelerated if there is a change of control, as defined in the plan. At December 31, 2006, options in respect of 4,474,425 common shares were vested and exercisable. | ||

In 2006, the Company cancelled 103,083 stock options from its Stock Option Plan (2005 – 28,402, 2004 – 1,305,134) surrendered by Company employees for $nil consideration. Compensation cost recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options cancelled. As at December 31, 2006, 4,954,174 options are fully vested or are expected to vest with a weighted average exercise price of $7.10, aggregate intrinsic value of $0.4 million and weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.5 years. As at December 31, 2006, options that are exercisable have an intrinsic value of $0.4 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.9 years. The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2006 was $0.5 (2005 – $3.4 million, 2004 – $0.6 million). | ||
Not included in the table above are 547,786 options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 – 241,500) that the Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2006, exceeded, by approximately 1.6%, certain cap limits for grants set by its Stock Option Plan. These options were granted with a weighted average exercise price of $10.39 (2005 – $9.59). Of these options, during 2006, 37,000 options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.89 were forfeited (2005 – nil) and 3,000 with a weighted average exercise price of $9.59 were cancelled for no consideration (2005 - - nil). The number of these options outstanding as at December 31, 2006 was 749,286 (2005 – 241,500) with a weighted average exercise price of $10.69 (2005 – $9.59). The number of these options exercisable as at December 31, 2006 was 63,792 (2005 – nil) with a weighted average exercise price of $9.89 (2005 – nil). As the Company intended to settle the obligations for a significant number of these options in cash, these options have been treated as liability-based awards as at December 31, 2006 with an amount of $0.3 included in accrued liabilities. 20,750 of such options were forfeited in May 2007, 195,286 of such options were voluntarily surrendered by the Co-CEOs and members of the Board of Directors for no consideration in June 2007; and 533,250 of such options were settled for cash in June 2007 in an amount of $0.5 million. Compensation cost recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options cancelled. |

Restricted Common Shares | ||
Under the terms of certain employment agreements dated July 12, 2000, the Company is required to issue either 160,000 restricted common shares for no consideration or pay their cash equivalent. The restricted shares are required to be issued, or payment of their cash equivalent, upon request by the employees at any time. The aggregate intrinsic value of the awards outstanding is $0.6 million. The Company accounts for the obligation as a liability, which is classified within accrued liabilities. The Company has recorded a recovery of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 (2005 – $0.2 million recovery, 2004 – $0.1 million expense), due to the changes in the Company’s stock price during the period. | ||
Options and Warrants Granted to Non-Employees | ||
In 2006, an aggregate of 76,654 (2005 – 53,340, 2004 – 53,340) options to purchase the Company’s common shares with an average exercise price of $7.79 (2005 – $9.74, 2004 – $6.09) were issued to certain advisors and strategic partners of the Company. The options have a maximum contractual life of seven years. Certain of these options vest immediately and the remainder upon the occurrence of certain events. These options were granted under the Stock Option Plan. As at December 31, 2006, non-employee options outstanding amounted to 116,659 options (2005 – 40,005) with a weighted-average exercise price of $8.54 (2005 – $9.96). 106,659 options (2005 – 40,005) were exercisable with an average weighted exercise price of $8.50 (2005 – $9.96) and the vested options have an aggregate intrinsic value of less than $0.1 million. The Company has calculated the fair value of these options to non-employees to be $0.3 million (2005 – $0.3 million, 2004 – $0.2 million), utilizing a Binomial option-pricing model with the following underlying assumptions for the year ended December 31: |
2006 | 2005 | 2004 | ||||||||||
Average risk-free interest rate | 4.82 | % | 4.06 | % | 3.40 | % | ||||||

Average expected volatility | 60 | % | 62 | % | 62 | % | ||||||

In 2006, the Company has recorded a charge of $0.3 million (2005 – $0.3 million, 2004 – $0.2 million) to film cost of sales related to the non-employee stock options. | ||
During 2003, 550,000 warrants were issued with a weighted average exercise price of $6.06 . During 2005, 80,872 common shares were issued upon exercise of 200,000 warrants with no additional cash consideration. All remaining warrants have expired. Upon exercise of warrants in 2005, $1.1 million representing the fair value of the original warrants issued was transferred to capital stock from other equity to reflect the value of the shares issued within capital stock. | ||

In addition, during 2006 the Company revised its estimate on the realizability of its residual values on certain of its sales-type leases and charged $0.1 million to asset impairment. An asset impairment charge of $0.8 million was recorded in 2004 due to lower volumes relating to 2D Camera rentals. The expected future cash flows of these assets did not support their recoverability. |

23. | Financial Instruments | |
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company’s cash is invested with highly rated financial institutions. | ||
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. A majority portion of the Company’s revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar cash flows of the Company is periodically converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot market. In Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations. Net Japanese yen cash flows are converted to U.S. dollars generally through the spot markets. The Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in Japanese yen and Euros which are converted to U.S. dollars generally through the spot market. As at December 31, 2006, no foreign currency forward contracts are outstanding. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. | ||
The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, financing receivables due within one year, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments at December 31 are comprised of the following: |
2006 | 2005 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying | Estimated | Carrying | Estimated | |||||||||||||

Senior Notes due 2010 | $ | 160,000 | $ | 139,200 | $ | 160,000 | $ | 166,400 | ||||||||
Financed sale receivables | $ | 7,908 | $ | 8,035 | $ | 7,763 | $ | 8,060 |
The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes due 2010 are estimated based on traded prices as at December 31, 2006 and long-term receivables are estimated based on discounting at currently available interest rates as at December 31, 2006, for loans with similar terms. | ||
The Company’s accounts receivables and financing receivables are subject to credit risk. The Company’s accounts receivables and financing receivables are concentrated with the theater exhibition industry and filmed entertainment industry. | ||
To minimize the Company’s credit risk, the Company retains title to underlying theater systems leased, performs initial and ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and makes ongoing provisions for its estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company believes it has adequately provided for related exposures surrounding receivables and contractual commitments. | ||
24. | Employee Pensions and Postretirement Benefits | |
(a) | Defined Benefit Pension Plan | |
The Company has an unfunded U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the SERP, covering its two Co-CEOs. The SERP provides for a lifetime retirement benefit from age 55 determined as 75% of the member’s best average 60 consecutive months of earnings during the 120 months preceding retirement. |

24. | Employee Pensions and Postretirement Benefits(cont’d) | |
(a) | Defined Benefit Pension Plan(cont’d) | |
Under the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse. On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP which reduced the related pension expense to the Company. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce ongoing costs to the Company, the cost of living adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs are each reduced by 50%, subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of control of the Company, and the net present value of the reduced pension benefit payments is accelerated and paid out upon a change of control of the Company. The amendment resulted in reduction of the accrued pension liability by $6.2 million, a reduction in other assets of $3.4 million and a past services credit of $2.8 million. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the SERP initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception until age 55. The vesting percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than by voluntary retirement or upon a change in control shall be 100%. As of December 31, 2006, one of the Co-CEO’s benefits were 100% vested while the other Co-CEO’s benefits were approximately 82% vested. | ||
Effective March 1, 2006, the Company changed the form of benefit payment. A Co-CEO who retires prior to August 1, 2010 will receive benefits in the form of monthly annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or August 1, 2010 at which time the Co-CEO shall receive the remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum payment. A Co-CEO who retires on or after August 1, 2010 shall receive benefits in the form of a lump sum payment. | ||
The following assumptions were used in determining the obligation and cost status of the Company’s SERP at the plan measurement dates of December 31: |
2006 | 2005 | |||||||
Discount rate | 5.18 | % | 5.50 | % | ||||

24. | Employee Pensions and Postretirement Benefits(cont’d) | |
(a) | Defined Benefit Pension Plan(cont’d) | |
At December 31, 2006, the following amounts were included in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in future periods: |
2006 | 2005(1) | 2004(1) | ||||||||||
Minimum pension liability | $ | — | $ | 2,773 | $ | 1,584 | ||||||

Unrecognized actuarial loss | 909 | — | — | |||||||||
$ | (790 | ) | $ | 2,773 | $ | 1,584 | ||||||
(1) | Prior service costs of $3.6 million and $5.0 million were included in other assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The unrecognized actuarial loss for the years ended December 2005 and 2004 represents the portion of the additional minimum liability in excess of unrecognized prior service costs recognized as other assets. |
No contributions are expected to be made for the SERP during 2007. The Company expects prior services credits of $0.9 million to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in 2007. |
The following benefit payments are expected to be made as per the current SERP assumptions and the terms of the SERP in each of the next five years, and in the aggregate: |
2007 | $ | — | ||
2008 | 1,007 | |||
2009 | 1,016 | |||
2010 | 31,894 | (1) | ||
2011 | — | |||
2012 to 2016 | — | |||
$ | 33,917 | |||
(1) | Each of the Co-CEOs shall receive a lump sum payment in 2010 provided he retires prior to August 1, 2010. The SERP assumptions include the payment of a lump sum payment. |
At the time the Company established the SERP, it also took out life insurance policies on its two Co-CEOs with coverage amounts of $21.5 million in aggregate to which the Company is the beneficiary. The Company intends to use the cash surrender value proceeds of life insurance policies taken on its Co-CEOs to be applied towards the benefits due and payable under the SERP, although there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately do so. At December 31, 2006, the cash surrender value of the insurance policies is $4.3 million (2005 – $3.3 million) and has been included in other assets. | ||
(b) | Defined Contribution Pension Plan | |
The Company also maintains defined contribution pension plans for its employees, including its executive officers. The Company makes contributions to these plans on behalf of employees in an amount up to 5% of their base salary subject to certain prescribed maximums. During 2006, the Company contributed and expensed an aggregate of $0.8 million (2005 – $0.6 million, 2004 – $0.5 million) to its Canadian plan and an aggregate of $0.7 million (2005 – $0.2 million, 2004 – $0.1 million) to its defined contribution employee pension plan under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. | ||
(c) | Postretirement Benefits | |
The Company has an unfunded postretirement plan covering its two Co-CEOs. The plan provides that the Company will maintain health benefits for the Co-CEOs until they become eligible for medicare and, thereafter, the Company will provide Medicare supplement coverage as selected by the Co-CEO. |

25. | Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) (“FIN 48”). This interpretation prescribes a more likely than not recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provided guidance on derecognition of a tax position, classification of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, accounting or interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and expanded income tax disclosures. FIN 48 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle to be recorded in the first quarter of 2007 upon adoption of FIN 48 is an increase to the tax liability of $2.1 million and a charge to opening deficit. |

25. | Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements(cont’d) | |
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. | ||
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows the irrevocable election of fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities and other items on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value would be reflected in earnings as they occur. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible financial instruments and other items. | ||
26. | Discontinued Operations | |
(a) | Miami Theater LLC | |
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The Company completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater in the first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company was estimated at between $0.9 million and $2.3 million for which the Company accrued $0.9 million. Prior to 2006, the Company paid out $0.8 million, with an additional $0.1 million paid in 2006. On January 5, 2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company paid out an additional $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. This final payment of $0.8 million was accrued by the Company in 2006. | ||
(b) | Digital Projection International | |
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection International (“DPI”), entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a payment of $3.5 million. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement. | ||
(c) | Consolidated Statement of Operations for Miami Theater and DPI | |
The net earnings from discontinued operations summarized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, for the years ended December 31, was comprised of the following: |

(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
29. | Summary of Significant Differences Between Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States and Canada | |
The accounting principles followed by the Company conform with U.S. GAAP. Significant differences affecting the Company between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP are summarized below. | ||
(a) | Fixed Asset Impairments | |
The amount of fixed asset impairments under U.S. GAAP are calculated based on a discounted future cash flow basis. Under Canadian GAAP, prior to January 1, 2002, the amount of impairments were calculated based on an undiscounted future cash flow basis. Any differences resulted in higher depreciation for the remaining useful life of the assets. | ||
(b) | Stock-Based Compensation | |
Under U.S. GAAP, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method set out in APB 25 and has made pro forma disclosures of net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the methodology prescribed by SFAS 123 had been adopted. Under Canadian GAAP, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of CICA Section 3870, “Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments” (“CICA Section 3870”), effective January 1, 2003. As of this date, stock options granted to employees or directors are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations and credited to other equity. | ||
Effective January 1, 2006, under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. There were no differences between stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company under SFAS 123R and under CICA Section 3870 for the year ended December 31,2006. | ||
(c) | Pension Asset and Liability | |
Effective December 31, 2006, under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS 158 which resulted in an increase of $0.8 million, net of income tax of $0.3 million, to accumulated other comprehensive income, representing unrecognized prior service credits of $0.8 million. Under Canadian GAAP, the unrecognized net losses, prior service credits and the corresponding amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are not recorded. | ||
As at December 31, 2005, under U.S. GAAP, included in accrued liabilities is a minimum pension liability of $6.4 million representing unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized actuarial gains or losses. An amount of $3.6 million at December 31, 2005 was included in other assets, representing unrecognized prior service costs. Under U.S. GAAP, an amount $2.8 million as at December 31, 2005 is recorded against accumulated other comprehensive income, resulting from an unrecognized actuarial loss. Under Canadian GAAP, the minimum pension liability, and the corresponding amounts included in other assets and accumulated other comprehensive income are not recorded. | ||
(d) | Correction of Errors | |
As described in note 4, the Company has restated its 2004 and 2005 financial statements for certain errors. The 2004 and 2005 Reconciliation to Canadian GAAP has also been restated for the same items as described in note 4. |

1. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over the analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to correctly assess the identification of deliverables and their aggregation into units of accounting and in certain cases the point when certain units of accounting were substantially complete to allow for revenue recognition on a theater system. | ||
After reviewing its revenue recognition policy in conjunction with the announced review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to comments received from the staff of both the SEC and the OSC, the Company concluded that it had incorrectly assessed the determination of deliverables in its theater systems arrangements. The term “deliverables” is not explicitly defined in any accounting literature. The determination of a deliverable requires significant judgment and can be influenced by the terms of the arrangement between a vendor and its customer, the customer’s perspective of the deliverables, the interaction of the separate elements that could make up a single deliverable and other facts and circumstances unique to a transaction. | |||
In addition, in connection with its review of system sale and lease transactions during the period 2002 through 2006, the Company identified additional errors resulting from ineffective controls relating to the following, among others: |
§ | Based on an analysis of fair values of elements within arrangements, the Company determined that fair value previously allocated in certain multiple element arrangements was not appropriate and has adjusted these amounts. | ||
§ | The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions for accounting purposes when the customer was not granted title to the system until all payments were made, and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer; and the timing of recognition of the minimum annual payments under certain arrangements. | ||
§ | Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the Company meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The Company has deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an alternate theatre system configuration. | ||
§ | Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the recognition of finance income until the impairment issues were resolved. |

2. | The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained related to the classification and accurate recording of marketing and advertising costs of co-produced film productions, production fees on co-produced films and the application of the individual-film forecast computation method to film assets, participation liabilities and deferred production fees. | ||
The Company determined that it had misclassified certain costs incurred in respect of co-produced film productions between 2004 and 2006. Marketing and advertising costs were co-mingled with film production costs, and both were capitalized to film assets and subsequently amortized into the income statement over the estimated total ultimate revenues associated with the film productions. Film exploitation costs, which include marketing and advertising costs, as defined in SOP 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films”, should be expensed in the period incurred and not capitalized to film assets. In addition, certain costs were accrued by the Company prior to being incurred. These costs have been moved to the period in which they were incurred. On certain co-produced film productions the Company received production fees which should have been deferred and recognized over the estimated ultimate revenues. These production fees were previously recognized when production of the film was complete. The Company also determined that it had not correctly applied the individual-film-forecast computation method when it amortized its film assets and deferred production fees and accrued its participation liabilities for the periods between 2002 and 2006. SOP 00-2 requires changes in estimates of ultimate revenues used in the individual-film-forecast computation method to be adjusted prospectively from the beginning of the year of the change. The Company had applied changes in estimates on a retroactive basis from the original release date. In addition, the Company adjusted its amortization of prepaid print costs. A related material weakness was previously identified in the Company’s June 30, 2006, Form 10-Q filing, and had not yet been remediated as at December 31, 2006. | |||
3. | The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over the accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained related to the classification of fees paid to a professional services firm. | ||
During the period from 2001 to 2006, the Company paid certain fees to a professional services firm to assist the Company in identifying sales opportunities and provide assistance in negotiating and concluding contracts in the developing Asian market. These fees were capitalized and allocated to theater systems inventory for various Asian customers. The Company has determined that these fees were promotional and selling expenses which should have been expensed as incurred as the costs were not direct and incremental costs to a contract. | |||
4. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate recording of postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant contractual provisions within its executive employment contracts. During the preparation of executive compensation information for the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company determined that the two Co-CEOs were entitled to postretirement health benefits since 2000 for which the obligation had not been included in the prior financial statements as required under SFAS No. 106, “Employer’s Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions”. | ||
Each of the control deficiencies referred to above contributed to the restatement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2005, its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2006, and an audit adjustment to the Company’s 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses, accounts receivable, financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, film assets, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and related disclosures including postretirement benefits. | |||
5. | The Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not in place such that the tax provisions were appropriately allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. This control deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to the Company’s 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting the provisions for income taxes, net earnings from discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. |

Cross-departmental Communication | |||
Two of the Company’s material weaknesses relate to controls over the lines of communication between different departments. These material weaknesses are: | |||
6. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to raise on a timely basis certain issues relating to observations of the installation process, any remaining installation or operating obligations, and concessions on contractual terms that may impact the accuracy and timing of revenue recognition. This control deficiency contributed to the restatement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2005, its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2006, and audit adjustments to the Company’s 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses, financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and related disclosures. | ||
7. | The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Company’s financial reporting. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the status of a review of cap limits under the Company’s Stock Option Plan that affected the recording and related disclosure of stock-based compensation benefits. In October 2006, the Company initiated an internal review and involved external legal counsel to review the definitions within the Stock Option Plan and the various stock exchanges upon which the Company’s shares are issued to determine whether or not certain grants had, by definition, exceeded certain cap limits under its Stock Option Plan. Although analysis was still ongoing, this issue should have been communicated to the Finance Department while financial statements were being prepared for the September 30, 2006, Form 10-Q filing. This control deficiency contributed to a restatement of the Company’s September 30, 2006 financial statements, affecting accrued liabilities, other equity and selling, general and administrative expenses, and related disclosures. |
