FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes statements that are, or may deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2011, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference, as updated by the risk factors found under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements and information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this report.

We caution you that forward-looking statements made in this report or anywhere else are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially and adversely from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of various important factors, including, but not limited to, the substantial investment of capital required to produce and market films and television series, increased costs for producing and marketing feature films and television series, budget overruns, limitations imposed by our credit facilities and notes, unpredictability of the commercial success of our motion pictures and television programming, risks related to our acquisition strategy and integration of acquired businesses, the effects of dispositions of businesses or assets, including individual films or libraries, the cost of defending our intellectual property, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment industry, and the other risks and uncertainties discussed under Part I, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2011, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference, as updated by the risk factors found under Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Any forward-looking statements, which we make in this report, speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context requires, all references to the “Company,” “Lionsgate,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

Nature of Operations

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (the “Company,” “Lionsgate,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading global entertainment company with a strong and diversified presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution and new channel platforms.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lionsgate and all of its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (the “U.S.”) accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. The balance sheet at March 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Certain amounts presented for fiscal 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation relating to the sale of Maple Pictures (see Note 12).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to ultimate revenue and costs for investment in films and television programs; estimates of sales returns and other allowances and provisions for doubtful accounts; fair value of assets and liabilities for allocation of the purchase price of companies acquired; income taxes and accruals for contingent liabilities; and impairment assessments for investment in films and television programs, property and equipment, equity investments, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company intends to early adopt Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. ASU 2011-08 simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment and permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 would have been effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012 if not for the early adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update relating to the presentation of other comprehensive income. The accounting update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, Companies must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (which would contain the current income statement presentation followed by the components of other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income), or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to fair value measurements and disclosures to

8

improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes amendments that clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Specifically, the guidance requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements that are based on significant unobservable inputs. The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning April 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held as collateral required under our revolving film credit facility, amounts that are contractually designated for certain theatrical marketing obligations, and approximately $14.0 million held in a trust to fund the Company’s cash severance obligations that would be due to certain executive officers should their employment be terminated “without cause," in connection with a “change in control” of the Company (in each case, as defined in each of their respective employment contracts). For purposes of the employment agreements with such executive officers, a “change in control” occurred on June 30, 2010 when a certain shareholder became the beneficial owner of 33% or more of the Company’s common shares. Accordingly, the trust became irrevocable, and the Company may not withdraw any trust assets (other than once every six months in an amount that the trustee reasonably determines exceeds the remaining potential severance obligations), until any cash severance obligations that have become payable to the executives have been paid or the employment agreements with the executives expire or terminate without those obligations becoming payable.

3. Investment in Films and Television Programs

Total Acquired Libraries				$	28,553	$	31,929

The Company expects approximately 46% of completed films and television programs, net of accumulated amortization, will be amortized during the one-year period ending September 30, 2012. Additionally, the Company expects approximately 80% of completed and released films and television programs, net of accumulated amortization and excluding acquired

libraries, will be amortized during the three-year period ending September 30, 2014.

The February 28, 2009 acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the results of operations of TV Guide Network included in the Company’s consolidated results from February 28, 2009 through May 27, 2009 when a portion of the entity was sold. Subsequent to the sale of TV Guide Network, the Company’s interest in TV Guide Network is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s portion of the loss incurred by TV Guide Network for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is reflected in equity interest loss.

Investment in Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock Units. The mandatorily redeemable preferred stock carries a dividend rate of 10% compounded annually and is mandatorily redeemable in May 2019 at the stated value plus the dividend return and any additional capital contributions less previous distributions. The mandatorily redeemable preferred stock units were initially recorded based on their estimated fair value, as determined using an option pricing model methodology. The mandatorily redeemable preferred stock units and the 10% dividend are being accreted up to their redemption amount over the ten-year period to the redemption date which is recorded as income within equity interest.

The Company licenses certain films and/or television programs to TV Guide Network.

Maturity Date. The senior revolving credit facility expires July 25, 2013.

On May 13, 2011, LGEI issued approximately $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 (the “May 2011 Senior Notes,” and collectively with the October 2009 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a private offering conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The May 2011 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture among LGEI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Supplemental Indenture amended the indenture under the October 2009 Senior Notes to, among other things, enable LGEI to issue additional notes having the same terms as the October 2009 Senior Notes, except for the issue date, issue price and first interest payment, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million.

14

(carrying value — $9.9 million) of the Senior Notes in the open market. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $0.4 million, which includes $0.5 million of deferred financing costs written off. In September 2011, in connection with the common shares repurchased as discussed in Note 15, LGEI resold such Senior Notes at 99.0% of the $10.0 million face amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon from May 1, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $10.2 million.

The May 2011 Senior Notes were issued by LGEI at an initial price of 102.219% (original issue premium — 2.219%) of the principal amount, plus accrued interest thereon from May 1, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $204.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $192.4 million after fees and expenses, including $5.6 million paid in connection with the consent solicitation of holders of the October 2009 Senior Notes. The original issue discount/premium, interest and deferred financing costs are being amortized through November 1, 2016 using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining amortization period was 5.1 years.

Interest. The Senior Notes pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year at a rate of 10.25% per year.

Security. The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company, and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of both the Company and LGEI. The Senior Notes are ranked junior in right of payment to the Company’s senior revolving credit facility, ranked equally in right of payment to the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, and ranked senior to any of the Company’s unsecured debt.

Covenants. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictions and covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s common shares, make certain loans or investments, and sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets subject to certain conditions, among other limitations.

8. Participations and Residuals

The Company expects approximately 72% of accrued participations and residuals will be paid during the one-year period ending September 30, 2012.

Theatrical Slate Participation

On May 29, 2009, the Company terminated its theatrical slate participation arrangement with Pride Pictures, LLC (“Pride”), an unrelated entity. Under the arrangement dated May 25, 2007 and amended on January 30, 2008 (the “Master Picture Purchase Agreement”), Pride contributed, in general, 50% of the Company’s production, acquisition, marketing and distribution costs of theatrical feature films and participated in a pro rata portion of the pictures’ net profits or losses similar to a co-production arrangement based on the portion of costs funded. In late 2008, the administrative agent for the senior lenders under Pride’s senior credit facility took the position, among others, that the senior lenders did not have an obligation to continue to fund under the senior credit facility because the conditions precedent to funding set forth in the senior credit facility could not be satisfied. The Company was not a party to the credit facility. Consequently, Pride did not purchase the pictures The Spirit, My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Madea Goes To Jail. Thereafter, on April 20, 2009, after failed attempts by the Company to facilitate a resolution, it gave LG Film Finance I, LLC (“FilmCo”) and Pride notice that FilmCo, through Pride’s failure to make certain capital contributions, was in default of the Master Picture Purchase Agreement. On May 5, 2009, the representative for the Pride equity and the Pride mezzanine investor responded that the required amount was fully funded and

15

that it had no further obligations to make any additional capital contributions. Consequently, on May 29, 2009, the Company gave notice of termination of the Master Picture Purchase Agreement. Since May 29, 2009, there have been no developments with respect to the arrangement. The Company will no longer receive financing as provided from the participation of Pride in its films.

Amounts provided from Pride are reflected as a participation liability. The difference between the ultimate participation expected to be paid to Pride and the amount provided by Pride is amortized as a charge to or a reduction of participation expense under the individual-film-forecast method.

At September 30, 2011, $15.6 million (March 31, 2011 - $19.2 million) was payable to Pride and is included in participations and residuals in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Société Générale de Financement du Québec Filmed Entertainment Participation

On July 30, 2007, the Company entered into a four-year filmed entertainment slate participation agreement with Société Générale de Financement du Québec (“SGF”), the Québec provincial government’s investment arm. SGF was to provide up to 35% of production costs of television and feature film productions produced in Québec for a four-year period for an aggregate participation of up to $140 million, and the Company was to advance all amounts necessary to fund the remaining budgeted costs. The maximum aggregate of budgeted costs over the four-year period was $400 million, including the Company’s portion, but no more than $100 million per year. In connection with this agreement, the Company and SGF proportionally share in the proceeds derived from the productions after the Company deducts a distribution fee, recoups all distribution expenses and releasing costs, and pays all applicable third-party participations and residuals.

Amounts provided from SGF are reflected as a participation liability. The difference between the ultimate participation expected to be paid to SGF and the amount provided by SGF is amortized as a charge to or a reduction of participation expense under the individual-film-forecast method. At September 30, 2011, $6.8 million (March 31, 2011 - $7.1 million) was payable to SGF and is included in participations and residuals in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The arrangement expired on July 30, 2011.

Pennsylvania Regional Center

General. On April 9, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the Pennsylvania Regional Center, which provides for the availability of production loans up to $65.5 million on a five-year term for use in film and television productions in the State of Pennsylvania. The amount that was borrowed was limited to approximately one half of the qualified production costs incurred in the State of Pennsylvania through the two-year period ended April 2010, and is subject to certain other limitations. Under the terms of the loan, for every dollar borrowed, the Company’s production companies are required (within a two-year period) to either create a specified number of jobs, or spend a specified amount in certain geographic regions in the State of Pennsylvania.

Outstanding Amount. At September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowings of $65.5 million (fair value — $62.8 million) (March 31, 2011 — $65.5 million (fair value — $62.0 million)).

17

Company’s senior revolving credit facility, the Company is required to maintain certain collateral equal to the loans outstanding plus 5% under this facility. Such collateral can consist of cash, cash equivalents or debt securities, including the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes repurchased. As of September 30, 2011, $72.8 million principal value (fair value — $72.6 million) of the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes repurchased in December 2009 (see Note 10) was held as collateral under the Company’s senior revolving credit facility (March 31, 2011 — $72.8 million principal value, $72.4 million fair value).

Outstanding Amount. At September 30, 2011, the Company had borrowings of $44.2 million (March 31, 2011 — $20.4 million).

Availability of Funds. Currently, the Film Credit Facility provides for total borrowings up to $130 million, subject to a borrowing base, which can vary based on the amount of sales contracts in place on pictures financed under the facility. The Film Credit Facility can be increased to $200 million if additional qualified lenders or financial institutions become a party to and provide a commitment under the facility.

Maturity Date. The Film Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 16, 2013. Borrowings under the Film Credit Facility are due the earlier of (a) nine months after delivery of each motion picture or (b) April 6, 2013.

Interest. As of September 30, 2011, the Film Credit Facility bore interest of 3.25% over the “LIBO” rate (as defined in the credit agreement). The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2011 was 3.49% (March 31, 2011 — 3.49%).

Commitment Fee. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on the unused commitment under the Film Credit Facility.

Security. Borrowings under the Film Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation and are secured by interests in the related motion pictures, together with certain other receivables from other motion picture and television productions pledged by the Company, including a minimum pledge of such receivables of $25 million. Receivables pledged to the Film Credit Facility must be excluded from the borrowing base calculation under the Company’s senior revolving credit facility, as described in Note 6.

10. Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes and Other Financing Obligations

Accounting Method Description. The Company accounts for its convertible senior subordinated notes by separating the liability and equity components. The liability component is recorded at the date of issuance based on its fair value which is generally determined in a manner that will reflect an interest cost equal to the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the convertible senior subordinated notes issuance date. The amount of the proceeds less the amount recorded as the liability component is recorded as an addition to shareholders’ equity reflecting the equity component (i.e., conversion feature). The difference between the principal amount and the amount recorded as the liability component represents the debt discount. The carrying amount of the liability is accreted up to the principal amount through the amortization of the discount, using the effective interest method, to interest expense over the expected life of the note.

Fiscal 2011 and 2012 Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Transactions

May 2011 Repurchase of a Portion of October 2004 2.9375% Notes: In May 2011, LGEI paid $19.5 million to repurchase $19.4 million of aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $18.9 million) of the 2.9375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (the “October 2004 2.9375% Notes”). The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $0.5 million, which includes $0.1 million of deferred financing costs written off. The loss represented the excess of the fair value of the liability component of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes repurchased over their carrying values, plus the deferred financing costs written off. The amount of consideration recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity represents the equity component of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes repurchased.

July 2010 Refinancing Exchange Agreement: On July 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Refinancing Exchange Agreement to exchange approximately $36.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (the “February 2005 3.625% Notes”) and approximately $63.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes for equal principal amounts, respectively, of new 3.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “New 3.625% Notes”) and new 2.9375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “New 3.625% Notes”, and together with the New 3.625% Notes, the “New Notes”). The New Notes took effect immediately and all terms were identical to the February 2005 3.625% Notes and October 2004 2.9375% Notes except that the New Notes had an extended maturity date, extended put rights by two years, and were immediately convertible at an initial conversion rate of 161.2903 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes (conversion price per share of $6.20), subject to specified contingencies.

20

On July 20, 2010, the New Notes were converted into 16,236,305 common shares of the Company. As a result, the New Notes are no longer outstanding as of July 20, 2010.

As a result of the exchange transaction and related conversion, the Company recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which includes the write-off of $0.6 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, an increase to common shares equity of $106.0 million and reduction in the carrying amount of the old notes of approximately $91.2 million. The loss represented the excess of the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to conversion terms contained in the New Notes as compared to the fair value of the Company’s common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the old notes, partially offset by the excess of the carrying amount of the debt extinguished over the fair value of the Company’s common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms of the old notes.

11. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value

Accounting guidance and standards about fair value define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Accounting guidance and standards about fair value establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance and standards establish three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

22

• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s senior revolving credit facility, convertible senior subordinated notes, Pennsylvania Regional Center loan, and Senior Notes, which are priced using discounted cash flow techniques that use observable market inputs, such as LIBOR-based yield curves, three- and seven-year swap rates, and credit ratings.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The following table sets forth the carrying values and fair values (all determined using Level 2 inputs defined above) of the Company’s outstanding debt at September 30, 2011:

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
			(Level 2)
	(Amounts in thousands)
October 2004 2.9375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes	$	26,889	$	27,157
February 2005 3.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes	22,811		23,555
April 2009 3.625% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes	42,823		51,743
Pennsylvania Regional Center Loan	65,500		62,814
Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes	431,161		422,375
	$	589,184	$	587,644

12. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Maple Pictures

On August 10, 2011, the Company sold its interest in Maple Pictures Corp. (“Maple Pictures”) to Alliance Films Holdings Inc. (“Alliance”), a leading Canadian producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming and home entertainment. The sales price was approximately $35.3 million, net of a working capital adjustment.

Alliance will be responsible for all of Maple Pictures’ distribution, including Maple Pictures’ exclusive five-year output deal for Canadian distribution of the Company’s new motion picture and second window television product and Maple Pictures’ exclusive long-term arrangement for distribution of Canadian rights of the Company’s filmed entertainment library (i.e., distribution rights). The purchase price was allocated between the fair value of the distribution rights and the fair value of Maple Pictures exclusive of the distribution rights. The fair value of the distribution rights of $17.8 million was recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue by the Company as the revenues are earned pursuant to the distribution rights. The sales proceeds less the fair value of the distribution rights constitutes the proceeds allocated to the sale of Maple Pictures exclusive of the distribution rights.

The sale was treated as the disposal of an asset group rather than a discontinued operation because, due to the distribution rights, the Company will have continuing involvement in the cash flows generated pursuant to the distribution rights.

The assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and were recorded at their carrying value, which is lower than their fair value less cost to sell. At August 10, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the carrying values of the Maple Pictures assets sold pursuant to the agreement are set forth in the table below:

23

	August 10, 2011			March 31, 2011
	(Amounts in thousands)
Accounts receivable, net	$	16,789		$	29,197
Investment in films and television programs, net	13,536			13,531
Other assets	1,564			1,608
Liabilities	(13,651		)	(17,396		)
Net assets and liabilities	18,238			26,940
Participations payable to Lionsgate (1)	(24,523		)	(30,576		)
Carrying value deficit of Maple Pictures (2)	$	(6,285	)	$	(3,636	)

(1) Participation liabilities payable to the Company, which are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(2) Excludes cash held at Maple Pictures of $3.9 million and $3.6 million as of August 10, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, and the allocation of Motion Pictures segment goodwill discussed below.

Maple Pictures was included in the Company’s Motion Pictures reporting segment. A portion of Motion Pictures goodwill, amounting to $6.1 million was allocated to the asset group and included in the carrying value of the assets disposed for purposes of calculating the gain on sale. Subsequently, the Company tested for goodwill impairment using the adjusted carrying amount of the Motion Pictures reporting unit and no goodwill impairment was identified. The Company recognized a gain, net of transaction costs, on the sale of Maple Pictures of $11.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

TV Guide Network

Acquisition of TV Guide Network. On February 28, 2009, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of TV Guide Network and TV Guide.com (collectively “TV Guide Network”), a network and online provider of entertainment and television guidance-related programming, as well as localized program listings and descriptions primarily in the U.S. The Company paid approximately $241.6 million for all of the equity interest of TV Guide Network, which included a capital lease obligation of $12.1 million, and incurred approximately $1.5 million in direct transaction costs (legal fees, accountant’s fees and other professional fees).

Sale of Non-Controlling Interest in TV Guide Network. On May 28, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with One Equity Partners (“OEP”), the global private equity investment arm of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., pursuant to which OEP purchased 49% of the Company’s interest in TV Guide Network for approximately $122.4 million in cash. In addition, OEP reserved the option of buying another 1% of TV Guide Network under certain circumstances. The arrangement contains joint control rights, as evidenced in an operating agreement as well as certain transfer restrictions and exit rights. There was no gain or loss on the transaction.

The February 28, 2009 acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the results of operations of TV Guide Network included in the Company’s consolidated results from February 28, 2009 through May 27, 2009. Subsequent to the sale of TV Guide Network, and pursuant to the new accounting guidance on accounting for VIEs effective April 1, 2010, which the Company has retrospectively applied, the Company’s interest in TV Guide Network is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting (see Note 4).

Acquisition of Mandate Pictures, LLC

On September 10, 2007, the Company purchased all of the membership interests in Mandate Pictures, LLC (“Mandate”), a worldwide independent film producer and distributor. The Company paid approximately $58.6 million, comprised of $46.8 million in cash and 1,282,999 of the Company’s common shares. The value assigned to the shares for purposes of recording the acquisition was $11.8 million and was based on the average price of the Company’s common shares a few days prior and subsequent to the date of the closing of the acquisition, which is when it was publicly announced.

In addition, the Company may be obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to the purchase agreement should certain films or derivative works meet certain target performance thresholds. Such amounts, to the extent they relate to films or derivative works of films identified at the acquisition date will be charged to goodwill if the target thresholds are achieved, and such amounts, to the extent they relate to other qualifying films produced in the future, will be accounted for similar to other film participation arrangements. The amount to be paid is the excess of the sum of the following amounts over the performance threshold (i.e., the “Hurdle Amount”):

• 80% of the earnings of certain films for the longer of 5 years from the closing or 5 years from the release of the

24

pictures, plus

• 20% of the earnings of certain pictures which commence principal photography within 5 years from the closing date for a period up to 10 years, plus

• certain fees designated for derivative works which commence principal photography within 7 years of the initial release of the original picture.

The Hurdle Amount is the purchase price of approximately $56 million plus an interest cost accruing until such hurdle is reached, and certain other costs the Company agreed to pay in connection with the acquisition. Accordingly, the additional consideration is the total of the above in excess of the Hurdle Amount. As of September 30, 2011, the total earnings and fees from identified projects in process are not projected to reach the Hurdle Amount. However, as additional projects are identified in the future and current projects are released in the market place, the total projected earnings and fees from these projects could increase causing additional payments to the sellers to become payable.

The shares repurchased under the agreement are included in treasury shares in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity.

16. Accounting for Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized the following share-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	September 30, 2011			September 30, 2010		September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
	(Amounts in thousands)
Compensation Expense:
Stock Options	$	29		$	55	$	60	$	2,582
Restricted Share Units and Other Share-based Compensation	2,525			2,101		4,755		21,770
Stock Appreciation Rights	(173		)	370		172		5,432
Total	$	2,381		$	2,526	$	4,987	$	29,784

On June 30, 2010, certain unvested equity awards of certain executive officers immediately vested as a result of the triggering of “change in control” provisions in their respective employment agreements. For purposes of the employment agreements with such executive officers, a “change in control” occurred on June 30, 2010 when a certain shareholder became the beneficial owner of 33% or more of the Company’s common shares. As a result, the Company recognized $21.9 million in additional compensation expense during the six months ended September 30, 2010, which is included in the table above.

There was no income tax benefit recognized in the statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 508,510 restricted share units at a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.40.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted share unit awards at September 30, 2011 are $0.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 and 1.6 years, respectively.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company has the following stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) outstanding as of September 30, 2011:

	Grant Date
	July 14, 2008		August 14, 2008		February 5, 2009		April 6, 2009		March 17, 2010		February 15, 2011
SARs outstanding	750,000		250,000		850,000		700,000		500,000		1,000,000
Vested and exercisable	750,000		250,000		850,000		700,000		500,000		333,333

Expiration date	July 14, 2013		June 20, 2012		February 5, 2014		April 6, 2014		March 7, 2015		February 15, 2016
Fair Value as of September 30, 2011	$	0.72	$	0.10	$	2.33	$	2.55	$	2.41	$	2.59
Liability as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands)	$	537	$	26	$	1,984	$	1,782	$	1,206	$	1,605

At September 30, 2011, the Company has a stock-based compensation liability accrual in the amount of $7.1 million (March 31, 2011 — $6.1 million) included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets relating to these SARs.

On June 30, 2010, the SARs granted on February 5, 2009, April 6, 2009 and March 17, 2010 became fully vested due to the triggering of the “change in control” provisions in certain executive officer employment agreements discussed above.

On February 15, 2011, the Company granted an additional 1,000,000 SARs to a third-party producer, which vest in 333,333 SAR increments over a three-year period based on the commencement of principal photography of certain films.

SARs require that upon their exercise, the Company pay the holder the excess of the market value of the Company’s common stock at that time over the exercise price of the SAR multiplied by the number of SARs exercised. SARs can be exercised at any time subsequent to vesting and prior to expiration. The fair value of all unexercised SARs are determined at each reporting period under a Black-Scholes option pricing methodology based on the inputs in the table below and are recorded as a liability over the vesting period. With the exception of the SARs granted on July 14, 2008 and February 15, 2011, the fair value of the SARs is expensed on a pro rata basis over the vesting period or service period, if shorter. Changes in the fair value of vested SARs are expensed in the period of change. SARs granted on July 14, 2008 and February 15, 2011 were granted to a third-party producer and vest in 250,000 and 333,333 SAR increments, respectively, over a three-year period based on the commencement of principal photography of certain films. Accordingly, the pro rata portion of the fair value of SARs is recorded as part of the cost of the related films until commencement of principal photography of the motion picture (i.e., vesting) with subsequent changes in the fair value of SARs recorded to expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

	Grant Date
	July 14, 2008			August 14, 2008		February 5, 2009		April 6, 2009		March 17, 2010		February 15, 2011

18. Contingencies

On July 23, 2010, Icahn Partners LP, a limited partnership governed by the laws of Delaware and certain entities affiliated with Icahn Partners LP (collectively, the “Offeror”) filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “BC Court”) against the Company, Dr. Mark Rachesky, MHR Fund Management LLC and MHR Institutional Partners III LP (the “MHR Fund”) and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (the “BC Action”). The Offeror filed an amended petition on July 26, 2010.  Dr. Mark Rachesky, a director of the Company, is the managing member of MHR Institutional Partners III LP's general partner. Among other things, the Offeror claimed that a July 20, 2010 Refinancing Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”) between the Company and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. to exchange certain convertible notes of LGEI, as well as the Note Sale (as defined below) and Conversion (as defined below), were “oppressive” to the Offeror under British Columbia law. The Offeror sought, among other things, orders (1) declaring that the Company was oppressing its shareholders, (2) prohibiting MHR Institutional Partners III LP from transferring or voting its new shares, (3) prohibiting the Company from issuing any securities, (4) unwinding the July 20, 2010 transactions between the MHR Fund, the Company, and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (which includes the Exchange, the Note Sale and the Conversion), and (5) compensating the petitioners. The BC Court heard argument during the week of October 11, 2010. On November 1, 2010, the BC Court issued a final order and decision dismissing the Offeror's claims in their entirety and awarding costs to Company. On November 2, 2010, the Offeror announced its intent to appeal the decision.  On November 5, 2010, a single Justice of the British Columbia Court of Appeal denied the Offeror's application for an expedited appeal or, in the alternative, an order prohibiting the Company from scheduling its 2010 annual general meeting of shareholders before January 21, 2011.  The Offeror's application to vary this order was denied by a panel of the British Columbia Court of Appeal on December 7, 2010.  The British Columbia Court of Appeal heard oral argument on the Offeror's appeal from the final order and decision of the BC Court on March 24, 2011. The appeal was dismissed on May 10, 2011. The “Note Sale” means the July 20, 2010 entry into a Purchase Agreement and subsequent sale of the new notes received by Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. in the Exchange to MHR Institutional Partners III LP. Additionally, the “Conversion” means, after the consummation of the Note Sale, the July 20, 2010 exercise by MHR Institutional Partners III LP of conversion rights under the new notes whereby the new notes were converted in full into 16,236,305 common shares of the Company.

The Offeror also sought an order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) on July 22, 2010 requiring, among other things, that Dr. Rachesky, the MHR Fund, and their respective affiliates cease trading in any securities of the Company until further order of the BCSC and that the Company and each of its directors cease trading in any securities of the Company until further order of the BCSC. The Offeror alleged that the Exchange was, among other things, an unlawful defensive tactic, and that the disclosures concerning the transactions violated applicable securities laws. A hearing on the request for a temporary cease trade order was held on July 28, 2010, and the BCSC dismissed the Offeror's application for a temporary cease trade order against the Company and the MHR Fund.

On July 26, 2010, the Offeror filed suit in New York Supreme Court against the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, LGEI, Dr. Rachesky, the MHR Fund, MHR Institutional Advisors II LLC, MHR Institutional Advisors III LLC, and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. and its principal John C. Kornitzer (the “New York Action”). The Offeror claimed, among other things, that the Exchange and subsequent issuance of common shares of the Company to Dr. Rachesky's fund through the Conversion was (1) a breach of a certain July 9, 2010 letter agreement between the Company and the Offeror, (2) tortious interference with the same July 9 letter agreement, and (3) tortious interference with prospective business relationships. The complaint sought, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction rescinding the Exchange and share issuance; a preliminary injunction prohibiting all defendants from voting their shares in any election of directors or any other shareholder vote; and an award of compensatory and punitive damages.  On August 26, 2010, the defendants moved to dismiss or stay the New York Action.  On November 15, 2010, the Offeror filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The Offeror's motion for a preliminary injunction was denied on December 9, 2010. On March 30, 2011, defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint was granted in its entirety and the complaint was dismissed. The Offeror filed a notice of appeal on April 4, 2011, and sought to perfect its appeal on August 8, 2011.

On October 28, 2010, the Company filed an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Carl Icahn, Brett Icahn, and various investment vehicles controlled by Carl Icahn. The action was captioned Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. v. Carl C. Icahn, Brett Icahn, Icahn Partners LP, High River Limited Partnership, Hopper Investments LLC, Barberry Corp., Icahn Onshore LP, Icahn Offshore LP, Icahn Capital LP, IPH GP LLC, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., and Beckton Corp., No. 10-CV-8169. The complaint, filed as Exhibit (a)(8) to the Company's Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 14D-9, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2010, alleged violations of Sections 13(d), 14(a), 14(d), and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and certain rules promulgated thereunder, and tortious interference with prospective business relations under state law. The complaint sought damages and injunctive relief, including an order requiring the defendants to make corrective disclosures before the Company's 2010 annual general meeting of

31

shareholders.  On November 22, 2010, the Offeror moved to dismiss the complaint.  The Company amended its complaint on December 3, 2010.  The Offeror moved to dismiss the amended complaint on December 17, 2010.  Following oral argument on March 18, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Offeror's motion to dismiss. The Court granted the Offeror's motion to dismiss with respect to the Company's claims alleging that the Offeror violated Sections 13(d), 14(a), 14(d) (except for Section 14(d)(7) as discussed below) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and certain rules promulgated thereunder, and tortious interference with prospective business relations under state law. The Court denied the Offeror's motion to dismiss with respect to the Company's claim alleging that the Offeror violated Section 14(d)(7) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14d-10(a)(2) promulgated thereunder, by offering special consideration to a particular shareholder in the course of its tender offer when it was required to offer all shareholders the highest consideration paid to any single shareholder. The Court denied the Offeror's motion for reconsideration on June 20, 2011. 

On August 30, 2011, the Company and the Offeror entered into an agreement to dismiss all litigation and to release all claims arising out of the July 20, 2010 Exchange, Note Sale, and Conversion.  Pursuant to that agreement, on September 15, 2011, the parties voluntarily dismissed the actions pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the New York Supreme Court.  Also on September 15, 2011, the Offeror withdrew its application to the BCSC for permanent injunctive relief. 

From time to time, the Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe, based on current knowledge, that the outcome of any currently pending claims or legal proceedings in which the Company is currently involved will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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

Overview

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (“Lionsgate,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading global entertainment company with a strong and diversified presence in motion picture production and distribution, television programming and syndication, home entertainment, family entertainment, digital distribution and new channel platforms.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the Motion Pictures and Television Production segments, as described below. Our revenues are derived from the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and other foreign countries; none of the non-U.S. countries individually comprised greater than 10% of total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Motion Pictures. Motion Pictures includes “Theatrical,” “Home Entertainment,” “Television,” “International,” “Lionsgate UK,” and “Mandate Pictures” revenue.

Theatrical revenues are derived from the theatrical release of motion pictures in the U.S. and Canada which are distributed to theatrical exhibitors on a picture-by-picture basis. The financial terms that we negotiate with our theatrical exhibitors generally provide that we receive a percentage of the box office results and are negotiated on a picture-by-picture basis.

Home Entertainment revenues includes revenues from our own film and television productions and acquired or licensed films, including theatrical and direct-to-video releases, generated from the sale to retail stores and through digital media platforms. In addition, we have revenue sharing arrangements with certain rental stores which generally provide that in exchange for a nominal or no upfront sales price, we share in the rental revenues generated by each such store on a title-by-title basis. We categorized our Home Entertainment revenue as follows:

• Packaged media revenue: Packaged media revenue consists of the sale or rental of DVDs and Blu-ray devices.

• Electronic media revenue: Electronic media revenue consists of revenues generated from electronic-sell through or “EST”, digital rental, pay-per-view and video-on-demand platforms.

Television revenues are primarily derived from the licensing of our productions and acquired films to the domestic cable, satellite, and free and pay television markets.

International revenues include revenues from our international subsidiaries from the licensing and sale of our productions, acquired films, our catalog product or libraries of acquired titles and revenues from our distribution to international sub-distributors, on a territory-by-territory basis.

Lionsgate UK revenues include revenues from the licensing and sale of our productions, acquired films, our catalog product or libraries of acquired titles from our subsidiary located in the United Kingdom.

Mandate Pictures revenues include revenues from the sales and licensing of domestic and worldwide rights of titles developed or acquired by Mandate Pictures to third-party distributors and to international sub-distributors.

Television Production. Television Production includes the licensing and syndication to domestic and international markets of one-hour and half-hour drama series, television movies and mini-series and non-fiction programming, and home entertainment revenues consisting of television production movies or series.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include direct operating expenses, distribution and marketing expenses and general and administration expenses.

Direct operating expenses include amortization of film and television production or acquisition costs, participation and residual expenses, provision for doubtful accounts, and foreign exchange gains and losses. Participation costs represent contingent consideration payable based on the performance of the film to parties associated with the film, including producers, writers, directors or actors, etc. Residuals represent amounts payable to various unions or “guilds” such as the Screen Actors Guild, Directors Guild of America, and Writers Guild of America, based on the performance of the film in certain ancillary markets or based on the individual’s (i.e., actor, director, writer) salary level in the television market.

Distribution and marketing expenses primarily include the costs of theatrical “prints and advertising” (“P&A”) and of

46

DVD/Blu-ray duplication and marketing. Theatrical P&A includes the costs of the theatrical prints delivered to theatrical exhibitors and the advertising and marketing cost associated with the theatrical release of the picture. DVD/Blu-ray duplication represents the cost of the DVD/Blu-ray product and the manufacturing costs associated with creating the physical products. DVD/Blu-ray marketing costs represent the cost of advertising the product at or near the time of its release or special promotional advertising.

General and administration expenses include salaries and other overhead.

Recent Developments

Redemption of October 2004 2.9375% Notes. On October 15, 2011, certain holders of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes required LGEI to repurchase $26.6 million in aggregate principal amount (carrying value - $26.6 million) of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes, pursuant to the redemption terms of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes (see Note 10 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). LGEI paid approximately $27.0 million for the repurchase, representing a price equal to 100% of the principal amount on October 17, 2011, together with accrued and unpaid interest through October 17, 2011.

Share Repurchases. On August 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with certain shareholders, whereby the Company repurchased 11,040,493 of its common shares at a price of $7.00 per share, for aggregate cash consideration of $77.1 million. The shares repurchased under the agreement are included in treasury shares in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders' equity.

Sale of Maple Pictures. On August 10, 2011, the Company sold its interest in Maple Pictures Corp. (“Maple Pictures”) to Alliance Films Holdings Inc. (“Alliance”), a leading Canadian producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming and home entertainment. The sales price was approximately $35.3 million, net of a working capital adjustment.

Alliance will be responsible for all of Maple Pictures’ distribution, including Maple Pictures’ exclusive five-year output deal for Canadian distribution of the Company’s new motion picture and second window television product and Maple Pictures’ exclusive long-term arrangement for distribution of Canadian rights of the Company’s filmed entertainment library (i.e., distribution rights). The purchase price was allocated between the fair value of the distribution rights and the fair value of Maple Pictures exclusive of the distribution rights. The fair value of the distribution rights of $17.8 million was recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue by the Company as the revenues are earned pursuant to the distribution rights.

The sale was treated as the disposal of an asset group rather than a discontinued operation because, due to the distribution rights, the Company will have continuing involvement in the cash flows generated pursuant to the distribution rights.

The assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and were recorded at their carrying value, which was lower than their fair value less cost to sell.

Maple Pictures was included in the Company’s Motion Pictures reporting segment. A portion of Motion Pictures goodwill, amounting to $6.1 million was allocated to the asset group and included in the carrying value of the assets disposed for purposes of calculating the gain on sale. Subsequently, the Company tested for goodwill impairment using the adjusted carrying amount of the Motion Pictures reporting unit and no goodwill impairment was identified. The Company recognized a gain, net of transaction costs, on the sale of Maple Pictures of $11.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Additional Issuance of Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes. On May 13, 2011, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (“LGEI”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued approximately $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 (the “May 2011 Senior Notes”) in a private offering conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The May 2011 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture dated as of May 13, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture dated as of October 21, 2009 (the “October 2009 Indenture”), among LGEI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. LGEI had issued $236.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior secured second priority notes due 2016 (the “October 2009 Senior Notes”) under the October 2009 Indenture on October 21, 2009. The Supplemental Indenture amended the October 2009 Indenture to, among other things, enable LGEI to issue additional notes having the same terms as the October 2009 Senior Notes, except for the issue date, issue price and first interest payment, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million. The May 2011 Senior Notes were sold at 102.219% of the principal amount plus accrued interest thereon from May 1, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $204.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $192.4 million after estimated fees and expenses, including $5.6 million paid in connection with the consent solicitation of holders of the October 2009 Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. The May 2011 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10.25% per annum from May 1, 2011 and will be payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2011. The May

47

2011 Senior Notes will mature on November 1, 2016.

Repurchase and Sale of a Portion of the Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes. In August 2011, a subsidiary of LGEI paid $9.9 million to repurchase $10.0 million of aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $9.9 million) of the Senior Notes in the open market. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $0.4 million, which includes $0.5 million of deferred financing costs written off. In September 2011, in connection with the common shares repurchased as discussed in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements, LGEI resold such Senior Notes at 99.0% of the $10.0 million face amount therof, plus accrued interest thereon from May 1, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $10.2 million.

May 2011 Repurchase of a Portion of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes. In May 2011, LGEI paid $19.5 million to repurchase $19.4 million of aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $18.9 million) of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. As described more fully below, these estimates bear the risk of change due to the inherent uncertainty attached to the estimate. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. For example, accounting for films and television programs requires us to estimate future revenue and expense amounts which, due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making such estimates, are likely to differ to some extent from actual results. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. For a summary of all of our accounting policies, including the accounting policies discussed below, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Accounting for Films and Television Programs. We capitalize costs of production and acquisition, including financing costs and production overhead, to investment in films and television programs. These costs for an individual film or television program are amortized and participation and residual costs are accrued to direct operating expenses in the proportion that current year’s revenues bear to management’s estimates of the ultimate revenue at the beginning of the year expected to be recognized from exploitation, exhibition or sale of such film or television program over a period not to exceed ten years from the date of initial release. For previously released film or television programs acquired as part of a library, ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed 20 years from the date of acquisition.

Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making such estimates of ultimate revenues and expenses, these estimates have differed in the past from actual results and are likely to differ to some extent in the future from actual results. In addition, in the normal course of our business, some films and titles are more successful than anticipated and some are less successful than anticipated. Our management regularly reviews and revises when necessary its ultimate revenue and cost estimates, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization of film costs and participations and residuals and/or write-down of all or a portion of the unamortized costs of the film or television program to its estimated fair value. Our management estimates the ultimate revenue based on experience with similar titles or title genre, the general public appeal of the cast, actual performance (when available) at the box office or in markets currently being exploited, and other factors such as the quality and acceptance of motion pictures or programs that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and which may change.

An increase in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a lower amortization rate and, therefore, less film and television program amortization expense, while a decrease in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a higher amortization rate and, therefore, higher film and television program amortization expense, and also periodically results in an impairment requiring a write-down of the film cost to the title’s fair value. These write-downs are included in amortization expense within direct operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue from the theatrical release of feature films is recognized at the time of exhibition based on our participation in box office receipts. Revenue from the sale of DVDs/Blu-ray discs in the retail market, net of an allowance for estimated returns and other allowances, is recognized on the later of receipt by the customer or “street date” (when it is available for sale by the customer). Under revenue sharing arrangements, rental revenue is recognized when we are entitled to receipts and such receipts are determinable. Revenues from television licensing are recognized when the feature film or television program is available to the licensee for telecast. For television licenses that include separate availability “windows”

48

during the license period, revenue is allocated over the “windows.” Revenue from sales to international territories are recognized when access to the feature film or television program has been granted or delivery has occurred, as required under the sales contract, and the right to exploit the feature film or television program has commenced. For multiple media rights contracts with a fee for a single film or television program where the contract provides for media holdbacks (defined as contractual media release restrictions), the fee is allocated to the various media based on our assessment of the relative fair value of the rights to exploit each media and is recognized as each holdback is released. For multiple-title contracts with a fee, the fee is allocated on a title-by-title basis, based on our assessment of the relative fair value of each title. The primary estimate requiring the most subjectivity and judgment involving revenue recognition is the estimate of sales returns associated with our revenue from the sale of DVD’s/Blu-ray discs in the retail market which is discussed separately below under the caption “Sales Returns Allowance.”

Sales Returns Allowance. Revenues are recorded net of estimated returns and other allowances. We estimate reserves for DVD/Blu-ray returns based on previous returns experience, point-of-sale data available from certain retailers, current economic trends, and projected future sales of the title to the consumer based on the actual performance of similar titles on a title-by-title basis in each of the DVD/Blu-ray businesses. Factors affecting actual returns include, among other factors, limited retail shelf space at various times of the year, success of advertising or other sales promotions, and the near term release of competing titles. We believe that our estimates have been materially accurate in the past; however, due to the judgment involved in establishing reserves, we may have adjustments to our historical estimates in the future. Our estimate of future returns affects reported revenue and operating income. If we underestimate the impact of future returns in a particular period, then we may record less revenue in later periods when returns exceed the estimated amounts. If we overestimate the impact of future returns in a particular period, then we may record additional revenue in later periods when returns are less than estimated. An incremental change of 1% in our estimated sales returns rate (i.e., provisions for returns divided by gross sales of related product) for home entertainment products would have had an approximately $2.3 million and $2.6 million impact on our total revenue in the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Provisions for Accounts Receivable. We estimate provisions for accounts receivable based on historical experience and relevant facts and information regarding the collectability of the accounts receivable. In performing this evaluation, significant judgments and estimates are involved, including an analysis of specific risks on a customer-by-customer basis for our larger customers and an analysis of the length of time receivables have been past due. The financial condition of a given customer and its ability to pay may change over time or could be better or worse than anticipated and could result in an increase or decrease to our allowance for doubtful accounts, which, when the impact of such change is material, is disclosed in our discussion on direct operating expenses elsewhere in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Income Taxes. We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the U.S., and in several foreign jurisdictions. We record deferred tax assets, net of applicable reserves, related to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences. We recognize a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not or a valuation allowance is applied. In order to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets we will need to generate sufficient taxable income in the future. Because of our historical operating losses, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. However, the assessment as to whether there will be sufficient taxable income to realize our net deferred tax assets is an estimate which could change in the future depending primarily upon the actual performance of our Company. When we have a history of profitable operations sufficient to demonstrate that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized, the valuation allowance or a portion of the valuation allowance will be reversed and reflected as a benefit in the income tax provision. After that we will be required to continually evaluate the more likely than not assessment that our net deferred tax assets will be realized and if operating results deteriorate we may need to reestablish all or a portion of the valuation allowance through a charge to our income tax provision.

Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment each fiscal year or between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We perform our annual impairment test as of January 1 in each fiscal year. We performed our last annual impairment test on our goodwill as of January 1, 2011. No goodwill impairment was identified in any of our reporting units. Determining the fair value of reporting units requires various assumptions and estimates. The estimates of fair value include consideration of the future projected operating results and cash flows of the reporting unit. Such projections could be different than actual results. Should actual results be significantly less than estimates, the value of our goodwill could be impaired in the future.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes. We account for our convertible senior subordinated notes by separating the liability and equity components. The liability component is recorded at the date of issuance based on its fair value which is generally determined in a manner that will reflect an interest cost equal to our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the convertible senior subordinated notes issuance date. The amount of the proceeds less the amount recorded as the liability component is recorded as an addition to shareholders’ equity reflecting the equity component (i.e., conversion feature). The

49

difference between the principal amount and the amount recorded as the liability component represents the debt discount. The carrying amount of the liability is accreted up to the principal amount through the amortization of the discount, using the effective interest method, to interest expense over the expected life of the note. The determination of the fair value of the liability component is an estimate dependent on a number of factors including estimates of market rates for similar non convertible debt instruments at the date of issuance. A higher value attributable to the liability component results in a lower value attributed to the equity component and therefore a smaller discount amount and lower interest cost as a result of amortization of the smaller discount. A lower value attributable to the liability component results in a higher value attributed to the equity component and therefore a larger discount amount and higher interest cost as a result of amortization of the larger discount.

Business Acquisitions. We account for business acquisitions as a purchase, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. The excess of the purchase price over estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets is allocated to goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities requires various assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions are refined with adjustments recorded to goodwill as information is gathered and final appraisals are completed over a one-year allocation period. The changes in these estimates or different assumptions used in determining these estimates could impact the amount of assets, including goodwill and liabilities, ultimately recorded on our balance sheet and could impact our operating results subsequent to such acquisition. We believe that our assumptions and estimates have been materially accurate in the past.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We intend to early adopt Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. ASU 2011-08 simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment and permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 would have been effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012 if not for the early adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update relating to the presentation of other comprehensive income. The accounting update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. Instead, companies must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (which would contain the current income statement presentation followed by the components of other comprehensive income and a total amount for comprehensive income), or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to fair value measurements and disclosures to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes amendments that clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Specifically, the guidance requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements that are based on significant unobservable inputs. The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for our interim and annual periods beginning April 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2011, motion pictures revenue includes Maple Pictures revenue of $4.0 million through the date of sale of August 10, 2011, compared to Maple Pictures revenue of $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Subsequent to August 10, 2011, revenue generated pursuant to the distribution agreements with Alliance will be recorded net of fees and expenses.

(2) For the three months ended September 30, 2011, pay-per-view and video-on-demand revenue is included in Home Entertainment revenue rather than Television revenue in order to be consistent with the way management currently categorizes and analyzes those media types. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, $20.3 million of pay-per-view and video-on-demand revenue was reclassified from Television revenue to Home Entertainment revenue to be consistent with the current period presentation.

Home entertainment revenue of $120.4 milliondecreased$23.9 million, or 16.6%, in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in home entertainment revenue is primarily due to a decrease in the contribution of revenue from the theatrical slates as listed above, offset in part by an increase in the contribution of revenue from Direct-to-DVD, acquired and licensed brands, acquired library and other. The decrease in revenue contributed by the theatrical slates is primarily due to only one significant wide release title from our fiscal 2012 theatrical slate being released on DVD in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to three titles from the 2011 theatrical slate released on DVD in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues included in television production increased in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 mainly due to higher revenue generated from the home entertainment category of television production, and to a lesser extent, higher international revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010, offset in part by lower revenue generated from domestic series licensing.

The following table sets forth the number of television episodes and hours included in Lionsgate Television domestic series licensing revenue in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

		Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended
		September 30, 2011				September 30, 2010

				Pilots	1/2hr & 1hr	3	2.0
		22	14.0			29	20.0

Revenues included in domestic series licensing from Lionsgate Television decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 due to a decrease in the number of television episodes delivered as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Revenues included in domestic series licensing from Debmar-Mercury decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 due to decreased revenue from the deliveries of the television series Meet the Browns and The Wendy Williams Show, and the quarter ended September 30, 2010 included revenue from Big Lake, with no comparable revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

International revenue increased in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase in episodes of programming delivered internationally. International revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 included revenue from Mad Men Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Weeds Seasons 6 and 7. International revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 included revenue from Mad Men Season 2 and Season 3, Weeds Season 5, and Scream Queens Season 2.

The increase in revenue from home entertainment releases of television production is primarily driven by electronic media revenue from Mad Men Seasons 1,2,3 and 4, and electronic media revenue from Debmar Mercury's Hell's Kitchen, and to a lesser extent, continued packaged media revenue from Weeds Season 6 (released February 2011) in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as compared to packaged media revenue from Weeds Season 5 (released January 2010) and Mad Men Season 3 (released March 2010) in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Direct operating expenses as a percentage of segment revenues	49.6		%	70.3		%	57.6		%	45.7		%	71.6		%	52.2		%

Direct operating expenses of the motion pictures segment of $108.5 million for quarter ended September 30, 2011 were 49.6% of motion pictures revenue, compared to $155.7 million, or 45.7% of motion pictures revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase in direct operating expense of the motion pictures segment in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as a percent of revenue is primarily due to the change in the mix of product generating revenue compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and is primarily driven by the titles in our theatrical slates. Investment in film write-downs of the motion pictures segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 totaled approximately $1.5 million compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In the quarter ended September 30, 2011, there were no write-downs that individually exceeded $1.0 million. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, there were two write-downs that individually exceeded $1.0 million.

Direct operating expenses of the television production segment of $97.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were 70.3% of television revenue, compared to $82.5 million, or 71.6%, of television revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The direct operating expenses as a percent of television revenue were comparable to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In the quarter ended September 30, 2011, $0.2 million of charges for write-downs of television film costs were included in the amortization of television programs, compared to $1.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, approximately $1.5 million of the write-down related to one television series.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, $0.6 million of pay-per-view and video-on-demand distribution and marketing expenses were reclassified from Television to Home Entertainment distribution and marketing expenses to be consistent with the current period presentation.

In addition, approximately $2.3 million of P&A was incurred on titles that did not contribute significant revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, primarily related to P&A incurred in advance for films to be released in subsequent quarters. Domestic theatrical P&A from the motion pictures segment in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 included P&A incurred on the release of Alpha and Omega, Buried, The Expendables, and The Last Exorcism. Approximately $14.5 million of P&A was incurred on titles that did not contribute significant revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, of which $6.2 million was P&A related to titles released subsequent to that quarter including Saw 3D, The Next Three Days, and For Colored Girls.

Home entertainment distribution and marketing costs on motion pictures and television product in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $39.3 milliondecreased$8.3 million, or 17.4%, compared to $47.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to lower distribution and marketing cost associated with lower motion pictures revenues. Home entertainment distribution and marketing costs as a percentage of home entertainment revenues was 22.5% and 31.2% in the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in home entertainment distribution and marketing costs as a percentage of home entertainment revenues was primarily due to an increase in home entertainment revenue from electronic media in the television production segment, which has lower distribution and marketing costs as a percentage of home entertainment revenue, in relation to total home entertainment revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Income Tax Provision

We had an income tax expense of $1.1 million, or (4.6%), of loss before income taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a expense of $1.5 million, or (5.3%), of loss before income taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The tax expense reflected in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to deferred U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. Our actual annual effective tax rate will differ from the statutory federal rate as a result of several factors, including changes in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, non-temporary differences, foreign income taxed at different rates, and state and local income taxes. Income tax loss carryforwards, subject to certain limitations that may prevent us from fully utilizing them, amount to approximately $179.0 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over twenty years, $123.0 million for U.S. state income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over future years with varying expirations, $30.5 million for Canadian income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over 20 years with varying expirations, and $13.8 million for UK income tax purposes available indefinitely to reduce future income taxes.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $24.6 million, or basic and diluted net loss per common share of $0.18 on 133.8 million weighted average common shares outstanding.

Home entertainment revenue of $207.2 milliondecreased$68.9 million, or 25.0%, in the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010.

The decrease in revenue contributed by the theatrical slates is primarily due to only one significant wide release title from our fiscal 2012 theatrical slate being released on DVD in the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to three titles from the 2011 theatrical slate released on DVD in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Revenues included in domestic series licensing from Lionsgate Television decreased in the six months ended September 30, 2011 due to a decrease in the number of television episodes delivered as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010. Revenues included in domestic series licensing from Debmar-Mercury increased in the six months ended September 30, 2011 due to increased revenue from the deliveries of the television series Are We There Yet, House of Payne, and The Wendy Williams Show.

International revenue increased in the six months ended September 30, 2011 due to an increase in episodes of programming delivered internationally. International revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2011 included revenue from Blue Mountain State Season 2, Weeds Season6, and Mad Men Season 3 and Season 4. International revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2010 included revenue from Blue Mountain State Season 1, Crash Season 2, and Mad Men Season 2 and Season 3.

The increase in revenue from home entertainment releases of television production is primarily driven by electronic media revenue from Mad Men Seasons 1,2,3 and 4, and electronic media revenue from Debmar Mercury's Hell's Kitchen, and to a lesser extent, packaged media revenue from Weeds Season 6 (released February 2011) in the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to packaged media revenue from Weeds Season 5 (released January 2010) and Mad Men Seasons 1,2 and 3 (released July 2008, July 2009 and March 2010, respectively) in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Direct operating expenses of the motion pictures segment of $194.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were 47.4% of motion pictures revenue, compared to $270.2 million, or 44.0% of motion pictures revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in direct operating expense of the motion pictures segment in the six months ended September 30, 2011 as a percent of revenue is primarily due to the change in the mix of product generating revenue compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010, and is primarily driven by the titles in our theatrical slates. Investment in film write-downs of the motion pictures segment during the six months ended September 30, 2011 totaled approximately $1.6 million compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010. In the six months ended September 30, 2011, there were no write-downs that individually exceeded $1.0 million.

The decrease in direct operating expenses as a percent of television revenue is primarily due to the continuing success of shows like Mad Men, relative to total television revenue, and also due to lower charges for write-downs of television film costs in the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010. In the six months ended September 30, 2011, $1.9 million of charges for write-downs of television film costs were included in the amortization of television programs, compared to $5.1 million in the six months ended September 30, 2010. In the six months ended September 30, 2011, there were no write-downs that individually exceeded $1.0 million, and in the six months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $3.3 million of the write-down related to two television series.

 ____________________

(1) For the six months ended September 30, 2011, pay-per-view and video-on-demand distribution and marketing expenses are included in Home Entertainment rather than Television distribution and marketing expenses in order to be consistent with the way management currently categorizes and analyzes those media types. For the six months ended September 30, 2010, $1.3 million of pay-per-view and video-on-demand distribution and marketing expenses were reclassified from Television to Home Entertainment distribution and marketing expenses to be consistent with the current period presentation.

The majority of distribution and marketing expenses relate to the motion pictures segment. Theatrical prints and advertising (“P&A”) in the motion pictures segment in the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $107.8 milliondecreased$73.6 million, compared to $181.4 million in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

In addition, approximately $7.5 million of P&A was incurred on titles that did not contribute significant revenue in the six-month period, of which $2.6 million was P&A incurred in advance for films to be released in subsequent quarters. Domestic theatrical P&A from the motion pictures segment in the six months ended September 30, 2010 included P&A incurred on the release of Alpha and Omega, Buried, Kick-Ass, Killers, The Expendables, The Last Exorcism, and Why Did I Get Married Too?.

Home entertainment distribution and marketing costs on motion pictures and television product in the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $65.6 milliondecreased$23.2 million, or 26.1%, compared to $88.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to lower distribution and marketing cost associated with lower motion pictures revenues. Home entertainment distribution and marketing costs as a percentage of home entertainment revenues was 24.5% and 30.7% in the six months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in home entertainment distribution and marketing costs as a percentage of home entertainment revenues was primarily due to an increase in revenue from electronic media in the television production segment, which has lower distribution and marketing costs, in relation to total home entertainment revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Lionsgate UK distribution and marketing expenses in the motion pictures segment in the six months ended September 30, 2011 of $21.5 millionincreased from $18.8 million in the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Shared Services and Corporate Expenses

Shared services and corporate expenses excluding share-based compensation expense and shareholder activist matter costs decreased$1.6 million, or 6.0%, mainly due to a decrease in salary and related expenses.

Shareholder activist matter costs decreased$14.5 million as a result of less shareholder activist and related costs being incurred in the six months ended September 30, 2011. The benefit in the six months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from a negotiated settlement with a vendor of costs incurred and recorded in the prior fiscal year.

Share-based compensation expense decreased$24.8 million, mainly due to $21.9 million of expense in the six months ended September 30, 2010 associated with the immediate vesting of equity awards of certain executive officers triggered by the “change in control” provisions in their respective employment agreements.

These restricted share units will vest in two annual installments assuming annual performance targets have been met. The fair value of the 381,698 shares, whose future annual performance targets have not been set, was $2.6 million, based on the market price of our common shares as of September 30, 2011. The market value will be remeasured when the annual performance criteria are set and the value will be expensed over the remaining vesting periods once it becomes probable that the performance targets will be satisfied.

 ______________________

(1) We license certain of our theatrical releases and other films and television programs to EPIX. A portion of the profits of these licenses reflecting our ownership share in the venture are eliminated through an adjustment to the equity interest income (loss) of the venture. These profits are recognized as they are realized by the venture. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $49.9 million of revenue and $32.5 million of gross profit on the licensing of films to EPIX before eliminations. The equity interest gain for EPIX for the six months ended September 30, 2011 includes $12.9 million, which represents our share of the EPIX income of $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and $7.9 million representing the realization of a portion of the profits previously eliminated on licenses to the venture, reduced by the elimination of our share of profits on sales to EPIX of $9.9 million.

(2) We license certain films and/or television programs to TV Guide Network. A portion of the profits of these licenses reflecting our ownership share in the venture are eliminated through an adjustment to the equity interest loss of the venture. These profits are recognized as they are realized by the venture. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized $2.9 million of revenue and $0.9 million of gross profit on the licensing of television programs to TV Guide Network before eliminations.

Income Tax Provision

We had an income tax expense of $2.3 million, or (22.6%), of loss before income taxes in the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a expense of $2.3 million, or (2.5%), of loss before income taxes in the six months ended September 30, 2010. The tax expense reflected in the six months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to deferred U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. Our actual annual effective tax rate will differ from the statutory federal rate as a result of several factors, including changes in the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets, non-temporary differences, foreign income taxed at different rates, and state and local income taxes. Income tax loss carryforwards, subject to certain limitations that may prevent us from fully utilizing them, amount to approximately $179.0 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over twenty years, $123.0 million for U.S. state income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over future years with varying expirations, $30.5 million for Canadian income tax purposes available to reduce income taxes over 20 years with varying expirations, and $13.8 million for UK income tax purposes available indefinitely to reduce future income taxes.

Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes

On October 21, 2009, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (“LGEI”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $236.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 (the “October 2009 Senior Notes”) in a private offering conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

On May 13, 2011, LGEI issued approximately $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 (the “May 2011 Senior Notes”, and collectively with the October 2009 Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”) in a private offering conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The May 2011 Senior Notes were issued pursuant the Supplemental Indenture among LGEI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Supplemental Indenture amended the October 2009 Senior Notes Indenture to, among other things, enable the Issuer to issue additional notes having the same terms as the October 2009 Senior Notes, except for the issue date, issue price and first interest payment, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million.

In August 2011, LGEI paid $9.9 million to repurchase $10.0 million of aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $9.9 million) of the Senior Notes.

Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes	$	436,000	$	(4,839	)	$	431,161

Maturity Date. The Senior Notes are due November 1, 2016.

Original Issue Discount/Premium. The October 2009 Senior Notes were issued by LGEI at an initial price of 95.222% (original issue discount — 4.778%) of the principal amount. The May 2011 Senior Notes were issued by LGEI at an initial price of 102.219% (original issue premium — 2.219%) of the principal amount, plus accrued interest thereon from May 1, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $204.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $192.4 million after estimated fees and expenses, including $5.6 million paid in connection with the consent solicitation of holders of the October 2009 Senior Notes. The original issue discount/premium, interest and deferred financing costs are being amortized through November 1, 2016 using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2011 the remaining amortization period was 5.1 years.

Interest. The Senior Notes pay interest semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year at a rate of 10.25% per year.

Security. The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us, and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of both us and LGEI. The Senior Notes are ranked junior in right of payment to our senior revolving credit facility, ranked equally in right of payment to our subordinated notes, and ranked senior to any of our unsecured debt.

Covenants. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictions and covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase our common shares, make certain loans or investments, and sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets subject to certain conditions, among other limitations.

Under the terms of the Senior Notes, there are certain covenants which restrict our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, make certain “restricted payments” as defined, and other items. These covenants require certain ratios, such as the Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the indentures), to meet certain specified thresholds before such additional indebtedness, restricted payments or other items are permitted under the terms of the indenture. These ratios are partially based on the net borrowing base amount, as calculated pursuant to the indenture. The following table sets forth the total gross and net borrowing base and certain components of the borrowing base as prescribed by the indenture to the Senior Notes:

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes

As of September 30, 2011 we have convertible senior subordinated notes outstanding of $117.0 million in aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $92.5 million). In October 2011, $26.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes were redeemed (see Note 21), and in March 2012 and March 2015 $23.5 million and $66.6 million, respectively, of these convertible senior subordinated notes are redeemable by the holder.

May 2011 Repurchase of a Portion of October 2004 2.9375% Notes. In May 2011, LGEI paid $19.5 million to repurchase $19.4 million of aggregate principal amount (carrying value — $18.9 million) of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes. We recorded a loss on extinguishment in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $0.5 million, which includes $0.1 million of deferred financing costs written off. The loss represented the excess of the fair value of the liability component of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes repurchased over their carrying values, plus the deferred financing costs written off. The amount of consideration recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity represents the equity component of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes repurchased.

July 2010 Refinancing Exchange Agreement. On July 20, 2010, we entered into a Refinancing Exchange Agreement to exchange approximately $36.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the February 2005 3.625% Notes and approximately $63.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2004 2.9375% Notes for equal principal amounts, respectively, of the New 3.625% Notes and the New 2.9375% Notes. The New Notes took effect immediately and all terms were identical to the February 2005 3.625% Notes and October 2004 2.9375% Notes except that the New Notes had an extended maturity date, extended put rights by two years, and were immediately convertible at an initial conversion rate of 161.2903 of our common shares per $1,000 principal amount of New Notes (conversion price per share of $6.20), subject to specified contingencies.

On July 20, 2010, the New Notes were converted into 16,236,305 of our common shares. As a result, the New Notes are no longer outstanding as of July 20, 2010.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Production Loans and Participation Financing Arrangements

Individual Production Loans

As of September 30, 2011 amounts outstanding under individual production loans was $192.5 million. Individual productions loans represent individual loans for the production of film and television programs that we produce. Individual production loans have contractual repayment dates either at or near the expected completion date, with the exception of certain loans containing repayment dates on a longer term basis. Individual production loans of $162.5 million incur interest at rates ranging from 3.49% to 4.25%, and approximately $30.0 million of production loans are non-interest bearing.

Film Credit Facility

On October 6, 2009, we entered into a revolving film credit facility agreement, as amended effective December 31, 2009 and June 22, 2010 (the “Film Credit Facility”), which provides for borrowings for the acquisition or production of motion pictures.

Outstanding Amount. At September 30, 2011, we had borrowings of $44.2 million (March 31, 2011 — $20.4 million).

Availability of Funds. Currently, the Film Credit Facility provides for total borrowings up to $130 million, subject to a borrowing base, which can vary based on the amount of sales contracts in place on pictures financed under the facility. The Film Credit Facility can be increased to $200 million if additional qualified lenders or financial institutions become a party to and provide a commitment under the facility.

Maturity Date. The Film Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 6, 2013. Borrowings under the Film Credit Facility are due the earlier of (a) nine months after delivery of each motion picture or (b) April 6, 2013.

Interest. As of September 30, 2011, the Film Credit Facility bore interest of 3.25% over the “LIBO” rate (as defined in the credit agreement). The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2011 was 3.49% (March 31, 2011 — 3.49%).

Commitment Fee. We are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on the unused commitment under the Film Credit Facility.

Security. Borrowings under the Film Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base calculation and are secured by interests in the related motion pictures, together with certain other receivables from other motion picture and television productions

79

pledged by us, including a minimum pledge of such receivables of $25 million. Receivables pledged to the Film Credit Facility must be excluded from the borrowing base calculation under our senior revolving credit facility as described in Note 6.

Pennsylvania Regional Center

General. On April 9, 2008, we entered into a loan agreement with the Pennsylvania Regional Center which provides for the availability of production loans up to $65,500,000 on a five-year term for use in film and television productions in the State of Pennsylvania. The amount that was borrowed was limited to approximately one half of the qualified production costs incurred in the State of Pennsylvania through the two-year period ended April 2010, and is subject to certain other limitations. Under the terms of the loan, for every dollar borrowed, our production companies are required (within a two-year period) to either create a specified number of jobs, or spend a specified amount in certain geographic regions in the State of Pennsylvania.

Outstanding Amount. At September 30, 2011, we had borrowings of $65.5 million (fair value — $62.8 million) (March 31, 2011 — $65.5 million).

Availability of Funds. At September 30, 2011, there were no amounts available under this agreement (March 31, 2011 — nil).

Maturity Date. All amounts borrowed under this loan agreement with the Pennsylvania Regional Center are due April 11, 2013, five years from the date that we began to borrow under this agreement.

Interest. Amounts borrowed under the agreement carry an interest rate of 1.5%, which is payable semi-annually.

Security. The loan is secured by a first priority security interest in our film library pursuant to an intercreditor agreement with our senior lender under our senior revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the terms of our senior revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain certain collateral equal to the loans outstanding plus 5% under this facility. Such collateral can consist of cash, cash equivalents or debt securities, including our convertible senior subordinated notes repurchased. As of September 30, 2011, $72.8 million principal value (fair value — $72.6 million) of our convertible senior subordinated notes repurchased in December 2009 (see Note 10) was held as collateral under our senior revolving credit facility (March 31, 2011 — $72.8 million principal value, $72.4 million fair value).

Participation Financing Arrangements

Theatrical Slate Participation. On May 29, 2009, we terminated our theatrical slate participation arrangement with Pride Pictures, LLC (“Pride”), an unrelated entity. The arrangement was evidenced by, among other documents, that certain Master Covered Picture Purchase Agreement (the “Master Picture Purchase Agreement”) between us and LG Film Finance I, LLC (“FilmCo”) and that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement for FilmCo by and between us and Pride, each dated as of May 25, 2007 and amended on January 30, 2008. Under the arrangement, Pride contributed, in general, 50% of our production, acquisition, marketing and distribution costs of theatrical feature films and participated in a pro rata portion of the pictures’ net profits or losses similar to a co-production arrangement based on the portion of costs funded. Amounts provided from Pride were reflected as a participation liability. In late 2008, the administrative agent for the senior lenders under Pride’s senior credit facility took the position, among others, that the senior lenders did not have an obligation to continue to fund under the senior credit facility because the conditions precedent to funding set forth in the senior credit facility could not be satisfied. We were not a party to the credit facility. Consequently, Pride did not purchase the pictures The Spirit, My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Madea Goes To Jail. Thereafter, on April 20, 2009, after failed attempts by us to facilitate a resolution, we gave FilmCo and Pride notice that FilmCo, through Pride’s failure to make certain capital contributions, was in default of the Master Picture Purchase Agreement. On May 5, 2009, the representative for the Pride equity and the Pride mezzanine investor responded that the required amount was fully funded and that it had no further obligations to make any additional capital contributions. Consequently, on May 29, 2009, we gave notice of termination of the Master Picture Purchase Agreement. Since May 29, 2009, there have been no developments with respect to the arrangement. Although we will no longer receive financing as provided from the participation of Pride in our films, we do not believe this will have a material adverse effect to our business.

Société Générale de Financement du Québec. On July 30, 2007, we entered into a four-year filmed entertainment slate participation agreement with Société Générale de Financement du Québec (“SGF”), the Québec provincial government’s investment arm. SGF will provide up to 35% of production costs of television and feature film productions produced in Québec for a four-year period for an aggregate participation of up to $140 million, and we will advance all amounts necessary to fund the remaining budgeted costs. The maximum aggregate of budgeted costs over the four-year period will be $400 million, including our portion, but no more than $100 million per year. In connection with this agreement, we and SGF will proportionally share in the proceeds derived from the productions after we deduct a distribution fee, recoup all distribution expenses and releasing costs, and pay all applicable third-party participations and residuals. Under the terms of the arrangement, $35 million was available through July 30, 2011. Of the $35 million available through July 30, 2011, $10.8 million was provided through September 30, 2011, and the remaining commitment is $0.4 million.

Filmed Entertainment Backlog. Backlog represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from contracts for the licensing of films and television product for television exhibition and in international markets.

Discussion of Operating, Investing, Financing Cash Flows

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities. Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 were $140.6 million compared to cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $94.8 million. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to increases in investment in films and television programs, the gain on sale of asset disposal group, decreases in amortization of films and television programs, non-cash stock-based compensation, accounts payable and equity interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to equity interest loss for the six months ended September 30, 2010, offset by increases in cash provided by changes in restricted cash, accounts receivable, participations and residuals, film obligations, deferred revenue and a lower net loss in the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash Flows Provided by/Used in Investing Activities. Cash flows provided by investing activities of $5.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of $9.1 million of proceeds from the sale of asset group, net of transaction costs and cash disposed of $3.9 million, offset by $1.3 million for purchases of property and equipment, $0.8 million of capital contributions to companies accounted as equity method investments, and $1.5 million for an increase in loans made to Break Media. Cash flows used in investing activities of $31.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 consisted of $15.0 million for the buy-out of the earn-out associated with the acquisition of Debmar-Mercury, $0.9 million for purchases of property and equipment and $22.7 million of capital contributions to companies accounted as equity method investments, partially offset by $7.1 million repayments on loans made to a third-party producer.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $79.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from the receipt of net proceeds of $202.0 million from the sale of Senior Notes, borrowings of $153.7 million under the senior revolving credit facility and $167.9 million under production loans, partially offset by $200.4 million repayment on the senior revolving credit facility, $132.1 million repayment of production loans, $77.1 million payment for the repurchase of common shares, $19.5 million payment for the repurchase of convertible senior subordinated notes, $9.9 million payment for the repurchase of Senior Notes, 3.0 million increase in restricted cash collateral requirement under the Film Credit Facility and $1.9 million paid for tax withholding requirements associated with our equity awards. Cash flows provided by financing activities of $134.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 resulted from borrowings of $343.0 million under the senior revolving credit facility and increased production loans of $90.3 million, partially offset by $173.0 million repayment on the senior revolving credit facility, $105.8 million repayment of production loans, $8.3 million increase in restricted cash collateral requirement under the Film Credit Facility and $12.3 million paid for tax withholding requirements associated with our equity awards.

Anticipated Cash Requirements. The nature of our business is such that significant initial expenditures are required to produce, acquire, distribute and market films and television programs, while revenues from these films and television programs are earned over an extended period of time after their completion or acquisition. We believe that cash flow from operations, cash on hand, senior revolving credit facility availability, tax-efficient financing, available production financing, and the proceeds from the issuance of our May 2011 Senior Notes will be adequate to meet known operational cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including the funding of future film and television production, film rights acquisitions and theatrical and video release schedules, and future equity method investment funding requirements. We monitor our cash flow liquidity, availability, fixed charge coverage, capital base, film spending and leverage ratios with the long-term goal of maintaining our credit worthiness.

Our current financing strategy is to fund operations and to leverage investment in films and television programs through our cash flow from operations, our senior revolving credit facility, single-purpose production financing, the Film Credit Facility, government incentive programs, film funds, and distribution commitments. In addition, we may acquire businesses or assets, including individual films or libraries that are complementary to our business. Any such transaction could be financed through our cash flow from operations, credit facilities, equity or debt financing. If additional financing beyond our existing cash flows from operations and credit facilities cannot fund such transactions, there is no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. We may also dispose of businesses or assets, including individual films or libraries, and use the net proceeds from such dispositions to fund operations or such acquisitions, or to repay debt.

(1) Film obligations include minimum guarantees and theatrical marketing obligations. Production loans represent loans for the production of film and television programs that we produce. Repayment dates are based on anticipated delivery or release date of the related film or contractual due dates of the obligation.

(2) The future repayment dates of the convertible senior subordinated notes represent the first possible redemption date by the holder for each note respectively.

(3) Distribution and marketing commitments represent contractual commitments for future expenditures associated with distribution and marketing of films which we will distribute. The payment dates of these amounts are primarily based on the anticipated release date of the film.

(4) Minimum guarantee commitments represent contractual commitments related to the purchase of film rights for pictures to be delivered in the future. Production loan commitments represent amounts committed for future film production and development to be funded through production financing and recorded as a production loan liability when incurred. Future payments under these commitments are based on anticipated delivery or release dates of the related film or contractual due dates of the commitment. The amounts include future interest payments associated with the commitment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any transactions, arrangements and other relationships with unconsolidated entities that will affect our liquidity or capital resources. We have no special purpose entities that provided off-balance sheet financing, liquidity or market or credit risk support, nor do we engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services, that could expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of our consolidated financial statements. Our commitments to fund operating leases, minimum guarantees, production loans, equity method investment funding requirements and all other contractual commitments not reflected on the face of our audited consolidated financial statements are presented in the above table.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Currency and Interest Rate Risk Management

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk results from the financial debt instruments that arise from transactions entered into during the normal course of business. As part of our overall risk management program, we evaluate and manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and currency exchange risks on an ongoing basis. Hedges and derivative financial instruments will be used in the future in order to manage our interest rate and currency exposure. We have no intention of entering into financial derivative contracts, other than to hedge a specific financial risk.

Currency Rate Risk. We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge our foreign currency exposures on future production expenses denominated in various foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2011, we had outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to buy Canadian $2.1 million in exchange for US$2.1 million over a period of five months at a weighted average exchange rate of one US$ equals Canadian $0.98. We also had outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts to sell British Pound Sterling £6.5 million in exchange for US$10.6 million over a period of five months at a weighted average exchange rate of one British Pound Sterling equals US$1.62. Changes in the fair value representing a net unrealized fair value gain on foreign exchange contracts that qualified as effective hedge contracts outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $0.7 million and are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. These contracts are entered into with a major financial institution as counterparty. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty, which is limited to the cost of replacing the contracts, at current market rates. We do not require collateral or other security to support these contracts.

Interest Rate Risk. Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under its senior revolving credit facility, certain production loans and the Film Credit Facility, are, and are expected to continue to be, at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and its net income would decrease. The applicable margin with respect to loans under the senior revolving credit facility is a percentage per annum equal to 2.50% plus an adjusted rate based on LIBOR. The applicable margin with respect to loans under the Film Credit Facility is a percentage per annum equal to 3.25% over the “LIBO” rate (as defined in the Film Credit Facility agreement). Assuming the senior revolving credit facility and the Film Credit Facility are fully drawn, based on the applicable LIBOR in effect as of September 30, 2011, each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a $0.9 million change in annual interest expense on the senior revolving credit facility and $0.3 million change in annual interest expense on the Film Credit Facility. The variable interest production loans incur interest at rates ranging from approximately 3.49% to 4.25% and applicable margins ranging from 3.25% over the one, three, or six-month LIBOR to 3.25% over the greater of the one, three or six month LIBOR or 1.0%. A quarter point increase of the interest rates on the outstanding principal amount of our variable rate production loans would result in $0.4 million in additional costs capitalized to the respective film or television asset.

The following table presents our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table also presents the cash flows of the principal amounts of the financial instruments with the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates and the fair value of the instrument as of September 30, 2011:

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of September 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also evaluated whether any changes occurred to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On July 23, 2010, Icahn Partners LP, a limited partnership governed by the laws of Delaware and certain entities affiliated with Icahn Partners LP (collectively, the “Offeror”) filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “BC Court”) against the Company, Dr. Mark Rachesky, MHR Fund Management LLC and MHR Institutional Partners III LP (the “MHR Fund”) and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (the “BC Action”). The Offeror filed an amended petition on July 26, 2010.  Dr. Mark Rachesky, a director of the Company, is the managing member of MHR Institutional Partners III LP's general partner. Among other things, the Offeror claimed that a July 20, 2010 Refinancing Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”) between the Company and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. to exchange certain convertible notes of Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (“LGEI”), as well as the Note Sale (as defined below) and Conversion (as defined below), were “oppressive” to the Offeror under British Columbia law. The Offeror sought, among other things, orders (1) declaring that the Company was oppressing its shareholders, (2) prohibiting MHR Institutional Partners III LP from transferring or voting its new shares, (3) prohibiting the Company from issuing any securities, (4) unwinding the July 20, 2010 transactions between the MHR Fund, the Company, and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (which includes the Exchange, the Note Sale and the Conversion), and (5) compensating the petitioners. The BC Court heard argument during the week of October 11, 2010. On November 1, 2010, the BC Court issued a final order and decision dismissing the Offeror's claims in their entirety and awarding costs to Company. On November 2, 2010, the Offeror announced its intent to appeal the decision.  On November 5, 2010, a single Justice of the British Columbia Court of Appeal denied the Offeror's application for an expedited appeal or, in the alternative, an order prohibiting the Company from scheduling its 2010 annual general meeting of shareholders before January 21, 2011.  The Offeror's application to vary this order was denied by a panel of the British Columbia Court of Appeal on December 7, 2010.  The British Columbia Court of Appeal heard oral argument on the Offeror's appeal from the final order and decision of the BC Court on March 24, 2011. The appeal was dismissed on May 10, 2011. For purposes of this Item 1, the “Note Sale” means the July 20, 2010 entry into a Purchase Agreement and subsequent sale of the new notes received by Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. in the Exchange to MHR Institutional Partners III LP. Additionally, the “Conversion” means, after the consummation of the Note Sale, the July 20, 2010 exercise by MHR Institutional Partners III LP of conversion rights under the new notes whereby the new notes were converted in full into 16,236,305 common shares of the Company.

The Offeror also sought an order from the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) on July 22, 2010 requiring, among other things, that Dr. Rachesky, the MHR Fund, and their respective affiliates cease trading in any securities of the Company until further order of the BCSC and that the Company and each of its directors cease trading in any securities of the Company until further order of the BCSC. The Offeror alleged that the Exchange was, among other things, an unlawful defensive tactic, and that the disclosures concerning the transactions violated applicable securities laws. A hearing on the request for a temporary cease trade order was held on July 28, 2010, and the BCSC dismissed the Offeror's application for a temporary cease trade order against the Company and the MHR Fund.

On July 26, 2010, the Offeror filed suit in New York Supreme Court against the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company, LGEI, Dr. Rachesky, the MHR Fund, MHR Institutional Advisors II LLC, MHR Institutional Advisors III LLC, and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. and its principal John C. Kornitzer (the “New York Action”). The Offeror claimed, among other things, that the Exchange and subsequent issuance of common shares of the Company to Dr. Rachesky's fund through the Conversion was (1) a breach of a certain July 9, 2010 letter agreement between the Company and the Offeror, (2) tortious interference with the same July 9 letter agreement, and (3) tortious interference with prospective business relationships. The complaint sought, among other things, a preliminary and permanent injunction rescinding the Exchange and share issuance; a preliminary injunction prohibiting all defendants from voting their shares in any election of directors or any other shareholder vote; and an award of compensatory and punitive damages.  On August 26, 2010, the defendants moved to dismiss or stay the New York Action.  On November 15, 2010, the Offeror filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. The Offeror's motion for a preliminary injunction was denied on December 9, 2010. On March 30, 2011, defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint was granted in its entirety and the complaint was dismissed. The Offeror filed a notice of appeal on April 4, 2011, and sought to perfect its appeal on August 8, 2011.

On October 28, 2010, the Company filed an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Carl Icahn, Brett Icahn, and various investment vehicles controlled by Carl Icahn. The action was captioned Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. v. Carl C. Icahn, Brett Icahn, Icahn Partners LP, High River Limited Partnership, Hopper Investments LLC, Barberry Corp., Icahn Onshore LP, Icahn Offshore LP, Icahn Capital LP, IPH GP LLC, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., and Beckton Corp., No. 10-CV-8169. The complaint, filed as Exhibit (a)(8) to the Company's Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 14D-9, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2010, alleged violations of Sections 13(d), 14(a), 14(d), and 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and certain rules promulgated thereunder, and tortious interference with prospective business relations under state law. The complaint sought damages and injunctive relief, including an order requiring the defendants to make corrective disclosures before the Company's 2010 annual general meeting of

87

shareholders.  On November 22, 2010, the Offeror moved to dismiss the complaint.  The Company amended its complaint on December 3, 2010.  The Offeror moved to dismiss the amended complaint on December 17, 2010.  Following oral argument on March 18, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the Offeror's motion to dismiss. The Court granted the Offeror's motion to dismiss with respect to the Company's claims alleging that the Offeror violated Sections 13(d), 14(a), 14(d) (except for Section 14(d)(7) as discussed below) and 14(e) of the Exchange Act, and certain rules promulgated thereunder, and tortious interference with prospective business relations under state law. The Court denied the Offeror's motion to dismiss with respect to the Company's claim alleging that the Offeror violated Section 14(d)(7) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14d-10(a)(2) promulgated thereunder, by offering special consideration to a particular shareholder in the course of its tender offer when it was required to offer all shareholders the highest consideration paid to any single shareholder. The Court denied the Offeror's motion for reconsideration on June 20, 2011. 

On August 30, 2011, the Company and the Offeror entered into an agreement to dismiss all litigation and to release all claims arising out of the July 20, 2010 Exchange, Note Sale, and Conversion.  Pursuant to that agreement, on September 15, 2011, the parties voluntarily dismissed the actions pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the New York Supreme Court.  Also on September 15, 2011, the Offeror withdrew its application to the BCSC for permanent injunctive relief. 

From time to time, the Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe, based on current knowledge, that the outcome of any currently pending claims or legal proceedings in which the Company is currently involved will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Other than as set forth below, there were no other material changes to the risk factors previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

An increase in the ownership of our common shares by certain shareholderscould trigger a change in control under the agreements governing our long-termindebtedness.

The agreements governing certain of our long-term indebtedness contain change in control provisions that are triggered when any of our shareholders, directly or indirectly, acquires ownership or control in excess of a certain percentage of our common shares. As of October 17, 2011, two of our shareholders, Mark H. Rachesky, M.D. and Capital Research Global Investors and their respective affiliates, beneficially owned approximately 37.4% and 9.1%, respectively, of our outstanding common shares.

Under certain circumstances, including the acquisition of ownership or control by a person or group in excess of 50% of our common shares, the holders of our senior secured notes and our convertible senior subordinated notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of such notes upon a change in control and the holders of our convertible senior subordinated notes may be entitled to receive a make whole premium based on the price of our common shares on the change in control date. We may not be able to repurchase these notes upon a change in control because we may not have sufficient funds. Further, we may be contractually restricted under the terms of our senior secured credit facility and the Film Credit Facility, from repurchasing all of the notes tendered by holders upon a change in control. Our failure to repurchase our senior secured notes upon a change in control would cause a default under the indentures governing the senior secured notes and the convertible senior subordinated notes and a cross-default under the senior secured credit facility and the Film Credit Facility.

Our senior secured credit facility and the Film Credit Facility also provide that a change in control, which includes a person or group acquiring ownership or control in excess of 50% of our outstanding common shares, will be an event of default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder and to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase our outstanding senior secured note and convertible senior subordinated notes. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar provisions.

Our results of operations are difficult to predict and depend on a variety of factors

Our results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures and television programming that we distribute, which cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future periods. Our results of operations also fluctuate due to the timing, mix, number and availability of our theatrical motion picture and home entertainment releases, as well as license periods for our content. Our operating results may increase or decrease during a particular period or fiscal year due to differences in the number and/or mix of films released compared to the corresponding period in the prior year

88

or prior fiscal year. Our operating results also fluctuate due to our accounting practices (which are standard for the industry) which may cause us to recognize the production and marketing expenses in different periods than the recognition of related revenues, which may occur in later periods. For example, in accordance with GAAP and industry practice, we are required to expense film advertising costs as incurred, but are also required to recognize the revenue from any motion picture or television program over the entire revenue stream expected to be generated by the individual picture or television program. In addition, we amortize film and television programming costs using the "individual-film-forecast" method. Under this accountingmethod, we amortize film and television programming costs for each film or television program based on the following ratio:

Revenue earned by title in the current period 

Estimated total future revenues by 

title as of the beginning of the year

We regularly review, and revise when necessary, our total revenue estimates on a title-by-title basis. This review may result in a change in the rate of amortization and/or a write-down of the film or television asset to its estimated fair value. Results of operations in future years depend upon our amortization of our film and television costs. Periodic adjustments in amortization rates may significantly affect these results.

In addition, the comparability of our results may be affected by changes in accounting guidance or changes in our ownership of certain assets and businesses. For example, in fiscal 2011, we retrospectively deconsolidated our interest in TV Guide Network due to new accounting guidance and now account for our holding in that business under the equity method of accounting. Further, in August 2011, we sold our majority interest in Maple Pictures Corp. and therefore no longer include the results of operations of that business in our consolidated results of operations although we will record the amounts reported to us from the distribution of our products net of certain distribution fees and expenses, as revenue. Accordingly, our results of operations from year to year may not be directly comparable to prior reporting periods.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future period.

Our results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures and television programming that we distribute, and underperformance at the box office of one or more motion pictures in any period can cause our results to be less than anticipated

Our results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion pictures and television programming that we distribute, which cannot be predicted with certainty. In particular, the underperformance at the box office of one or more motion pictures in any period may cause our revenue and earnings results for that period (and potentially, subsequent periods) to be less than anticipated, in some instances to a significant extent.

Due to the difficulty of predicting our results of operations and the other factors, it is difficult for industry or financial analysts to accurately forecast our results. The trading market for our common shares is influenced by the research and reports that such industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If an analyst who covers us changes his or her financial estimates or investment recommendation, or if our results of operations fall short of their estimates, the price of our common shares could decline.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Securities

On May 31, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of our common shares. Thereafter, on each of May 29, 2008 and November 6, 2008, as part of its regularly scheduled meetings, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase up to an additional $50 million of our common shares, subject to market conditions. The additional resolutions increased the total authorization to $150 million. The common shares may be purchased, from time to time, at the Company's discretion, including the quantity, timing and price thereof. Such purchases will be structured as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. During the period from the authorization date through December 31, 2010, 2010, 6,787,310 shares have been repurchased at a cost of approximately $65.2 million (including commission costs). The share repurchase program has no expiration date.

On August 30, 2011, we, along with two of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with

89

Carl C. Icahn and Brett Icahn (together with their affiliates, “Icahn”). Pursuant to the Agreement, among other things, we purchased 11,040,493 common shares of the Company from Icahn at a price of $7.00 per share, for aggregate cash consideration of $77,283,451.00 (the “Icahn Repurchase”). The Icahn Repurchase is more fully described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2011.
