PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider
carefully, among other things, the information set forth under 'Risk Factors'
below. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Prospectus assumes no
exercise of the over-allotment option and gives effect to the Concurrent
Transactions (as defined below). See 'The Concurrent Transactions' and
'Description of Capital Stock.' As used in this Prospectus, unless the context
indicates otherwise, the terms 'the Company' and 'Clearview' refer to Clearview
Cinema Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
THE COMPANY
Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. is a regional motion picture exhibitor that
operates in-town multiplex theaters primarily located in affluent suburban
communities in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. The Company's theaters
offer a mix of first-run commercial, art and family-oriented films designed to
appeal primarily to sophisticated moviegoers and families with younger children.
Since its inception in December, 1994, the Company has grown from four to 17
theaters and from eight to 69 screens. From 1995 to 1996, the Company's revenues
have increased from $2.3 million to $8.2 million and theater level operating
income has increased from $344,000 to $1.6 million.
The Company's strategy is to grow primarily through the acquisition or
development of in-town multiplex theaters. The Company seeks locations in the
retail centers of suburban communities that have the characteristics of the
Company's target audiences. The Company intends to build upon its concentration
of existing theaters and to expand into retail centers in suitable communities
throughout the Middle Atlantic and New England states. The Company also will be
opportunistic when evaluating theaters and locations in communities that meet
many, but not necessarily all, of the Company's criteria. The Company intends to
grow by operating additional theaters, adding screens to its existing theaters
and developing theaters in locations not previously used for motion picture
exhibition.
The theatrical exhibition industry is fragmented. Although the fifty
largest theater circuits operated approximately 76% of the screens in use at May
1, 1995, there are a substantial number of small independent exhibitors with
four or fewer theaters. The large circuits that are growing most rapidly appear
to have begun to concentrate on building new mega-multiplex theaters, rather
than buying established theaters. The Company believes that, in the Middle
Atlantic and New England states, in-town theaters serve audiences that prefer
these theaters to the larger out-of-town multiplex theaters. The Company also
believes that in-town theaters can offer movie selections more attuned to their
local markets, better customer service and more convenience when compared to
out-of-town multiplexes. Primarily for these reasons, the Company thinks that
operating in-town theaters can be attractive, and the Company believes that
there are a large number of potential acquisition candidates. The Company seeks
to identify targets that will complement its existing theaters or provide entry
into new markets.
The Company seeks to improve the operating margins of its theaters by
controlling theater level costs through centralized management, by increased
efficiencies in concession purchasing and through film selection that is
sensitive to the local community's tastes. The Company intends to acquire or
develop clusters of theaters that will increase its flexibility by permitting
the sharing of theater managers and skilled and hourly wage personnel. Clearview
believes that its management information system and internal controls gives its
senior management timely access to comprehensive operating data, allows the
local theater managers to focus on day-to-day operations, and enables the
Company to expand its theater operations without incurring proportionate
increases in general and administrative expenses.
The Company seeks theaters that will be the sole or dominant exhibitors in
their geographic film licensing zones. A geographic film licensing zone or 'film
zone' is a geographic area, recognized by film distributors, that generally has
a three to five mile radius in metropolitan and suburban markets, in which a
film is licensed for exhibition at only one theater in that film zone.
Currently, 75% of the Company's theaters are the sole exhibitors in their film
zones.
3
Clearview's theaters are community-oriented and place a strong emphasis on
patron satisfaction and customer service. The theaters provide clean and
comfortable environments at convenient in-town locations and offer opportune
movie show times, courtesy telephones for local calls and a large variety of
specialty concession items. The Company's theaters are characterized by custom
interiors and decor designed to enhance the movie-going experience. In addition,
the Company provides party and special event facilities for community residents
and regularly participates in community fundraising and charity functions to
maintain patron loyalty.
The Company's executive offices are located at 7 Waverly Place, Madison,
New Jersey 07940 and its telephone number is (201) 377-4646.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On June 30, 1997, Clearview reacquired warrants to purchase 196,250 shares
of Common Stock (the 'Provident Warrants') from The Provident Bank
('Provident'), the Company's senior lender, for $1.0 million (or $ per
share), plus the right to receive up to an additional $300,000 (or $ per
share) under certain circumstances. The Provident Warrants were issued to
Provident in 1996 in connection with the Company's current financing
arrangements and Provident owns no additional securities of the Company. See
'Business--Recent Developments' and 'Certain Transactions.'
On July , 1997, Clearview entered into an agreement with United Artists
Theater Circuit, Inc. ('United Artists') to acquire three theaters and the
underlying real estate and the leaseholds of two additional theaters (the 'UA
Theaters') for an aggregate purchase price of $8.65 million. These five UA
Theaters have a total of 14 screens and are located in Wayne, New Jersey and
Bronxville, Larchmont, Mamaroneck and New City, New York. See 'Business--Recent
Developments.'

(2) This information is derived from the Company's audited consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1995, which is not included herein.
(3) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ('EBITDA') is
a financial measure commonly used in the Company's industry, but should not
be construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), as an indicator

from operating activities (as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) as a measure of the Company's liquidity.
(4) Theater level cash flow represents total revenues less film rental and
booking costs, cost of concessions and theater operating expenses. Theater
level cash flow is presented because the Company believes that certain
investors find it useful in analyzing companies in the motion picture
exhibition industry.
(5) Represents the aggregate redemption price (determined pursuant to formulas
set forth in the applicable agreements) for the outstanding shares of Class
A Preferred Stock and for 312,500 shares of Common Stock based on the

RISK FACTORS
The shares of Common Stock offered hereby involve a high degree of risk.
The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the
other information in this Prospectus before purchasing any of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby. This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements concerning
the Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary
statements made in this Prospectus should be read as being applicable to all
related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Prospectus. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those
discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND RESULTS
The Company was incorporated on November 23, 1994 and acquired the
leaseholds of four theaters with eight screens on December 21, 1994. The
Company, which was organized as a vehicle to acquire theaters, has acquired the
leaseholds of 10 additional theaters and two theaters and their underlying real
estate since its initial acquisition and had 60 screens in operation as of
December 31, 1996. Therefore, the Company has a limited combined operating
history. In addition, the Company had net losses of $216,316 and $267,328 in
1995 and 1996, respectively, and net losses of $14,394 and $1,378 in the first
quarters of 1996 and 1997, respectively. There can be no assurances that the
Company will have net income in the future. See 'Prospectus Summary--Summary
Consolidated Financial Data,' 'Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data' and
'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.'
EXPANSION PLANS
The Company's strategy is to acquire or develop theaters at a rapid pace
and add screens in its theaters where appropriate. The Company's ability to
implement its expansion plans will depend on a number of factors, including
obtaining any required financing, the selection and availability of suitable
locations, the hiring and training of sufficiently skilled management and other
personnel and other factors, such as general economic and demographic
conditions, that are beyond the control of the Company. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to execute this strategy at its
contemplated pace or to operate profitably the theaters that it acquires the
right to operate or develops. See 'Business--Business Plan.'
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company has entered into an agreement with United Artists to acquire
three theaters and the underlying real estate and the leaseholds of two
additional theaters for an aggregate purchase price of $8.65 million. The
Company plans to fund this acquisition by using approximately $ million from
the proceeds of the Offering (based on an estimated offering price of $ per
share) and by obtaining the remainder from the Company's cash reserves. See 'Use
of Proceeds' and 'Business--Recent Developments.' In addition, Clearview has
entered into a lease for a 10-screen theater that is being constructed and a
lease for a four-screen theater that is currently being operated by another
exhibitor. See 'Business--Acquisitions.' The Company is obligated to spend
approximately $100,000 of its own funds in connection with the renovation of
that four-screen theater. Such funds should be available from the Company's cash
reserves.
At the present time, the Company is negotiating to obtain a new credit
facility (the 'New Facility') from Provident. See 'Business--Recent
Developments.' The Company plans to use part of the New Facility to finance its
future expansion. There can be no assurances that Clearview and Provident will
be able to agree on the terms of the New Facility.
In accordance with the Company's strategic plan, Clearview intends to
continue to acquire theaters and it is pursuing the acquisition of additional
locations. Any such transactions may require the Company to secure new financing
in addition to the financing referred to above. That new financing may be in the
form of additional equity, subordinated debt or bank financing. There can be no
assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such additional financing at
the time it is needed or that such additional financing, if available, will be
on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, any such financing may
result in dilution of the interests of the then-current stockholders of the
Company.
The Company's estimates of its cash requirements to develop or acquire and
renovate theaters and service any debts incurred in connection with such
development or acquisition and renovation are and will be based upon certain
assumptions, including assumptions as to the Company's revenues and cash flow
after any such acquisition or development. There can be no assurances that such
assumptions will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen costs will not be
incurred.
7
DEPENDENCE ON ABILITY TO SECURE FAVORABLE LOCATIONS AND LEASE TERMS
The success of the Company's strategic plan is dependent on its ability to
acquire or develop theaters in favorable locations with advantageous lease
terms. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to locate or
develop theaters in appropriate communities or, if it does locate any such
theaters, lease them on favorable terms. The failure of the Company to acquire
or develop theaters in favorable locations or to lease theaters on advantageous
terms could result in an inability to fully implement its strategic plan. See
'Business--Business Plan.'
POSSIBLE RISKS IN THEATER DEVELOPMENT AND RENOVATION
In connection with the development of new theaters, the Company either will
enter into an agreement with the property owner/developer who will oversee
almost all of the construction and completion of a theater or will oversee that
construction and completion itself. When acquiring the right to operate an
existing theater (either by entering into a lease or purchasing the theater and
its underlying real estate), the Company generally will take responsibility for
the completion of any proposed renovations or the construction of new screens.
As a result, the Company will, at times, be subject to some of the risks
inherent in the development of real estate, many of which are beyond its
control. Such risks include changes in Federal, state or local laws or
regulations, strikes, adverse weather, material shortages and increases in the
costs of labor and materials. There can be no assurances that any such theater
development or renovation will be successfully completed in a timely manner.
DEPENDENCE ON PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Company's success depends upon the continued contributions of A. Dale
Mayo, its Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss
or unavailability of Mr. Mayo to the Company for an extended period of time
could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business and
development. To the extent that the services of Mr. Mayo are unavailable to the
Company for any reason, the Company will be required to hire other personnel to
manage and operate the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to locate qualified personnel to manage and operate the Company or to
employ them on acceptable terms. The Company has entered into an employment
agreement with Mr. Mayo that provides for his employment through 2003. In
addition, the Company maintains 'key man' life insurance in the amount of $10
million on the life of Mr. Mayo. It is contemplated that, after the Offering,
the face value of such insurance will be reduced to $4 million. See 'Management
and Directors.'
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION
Each of the Company's current theaters are located in the New York/New
Jersey metropolitan area and the theaters that it has agreed to or is
contemplating acquiring or developing are primarily in the same area. As a
result, negative economic or demographic changes in that area would have a
disproportionately large and adverse effect on the success of the Company's
operations when compared to the effect of any such changes on its competitors
that have a wider geographic distribution of theaters.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Brett E. Marks, who is a director of and a consultant to Clearview, is also
a licensed real estate salesman with First New York Realty Co. Inc. ('First New
York'), a New York City-based realty brokerage firm. Mr. Marks' main consulting
work for Clearview relates to the identification of theaters that could be
suitable acquisition candidates for the Company, because of their locations and
the demographics of their communities, and of communities that could be
appropriate for the development of new theaters, given their demographics and
the available locations in such communities, and the performance of due
diligence with respect thereto. If the Company decides to acquire any such
theater, First New York may be entitled to a commission from the lessor of that
theater and Mr. Marks would then be entitled to a commission from First New
York. In connection with Clearview's proposed acquisition of the leasehold of a
theater in Brooklyn, New York, First New York and Mr. Marks will be entitled to
fees of approximately $66,000 and $22,000, respectively, if the transaction is
consummated. In addition, in connection with the proposed acquisition of the UA
Theaters, First New York and Mr. Marks will be entitled to fees of approximately
$259,500 and $86,500, respectively, if the transaction is consummated. Mr. Marks
and First New York have entered into agreements with Clearview with respect to
their future business relationships. See 'Certain Transactions.'
8
COMPETITION
The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive, particularly
with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons and finding theater sites.
There are a number of well-established theater circuits with substantially
greater financial and other resources than the Company that operate in the New
York/New Jersey metropolitan area and in the Middle Atlantic and New England
states generally. Some of these theater operators have been in existence
significantly longer than the Company and may be better established in the
Company's markets and better capitalized. Moreover, alternative delivery systems
are available for the presentation of filmed entertainment, including cable
television, direct satellite delivery, video cassettes and pay-per-view
television. An expansion of such delivery systems could have a material adverse
effect on movie theater attendance in general and upon the Company's business
and results of operations in particular. See 'Business--Industry Overview' and
'--Competition.'
DEPENDENCE ON FILMS
The ability of the Company to operate successfully depends upon a number of
factors, the most important of which is the availability of marketable motion
pictures. Poor relationships with film distributors, a disruption in the
production of motion pictures or poor commercial success for motion pictures
could have a material adverse effect upon the Company. See 'Business--Film
Licensing.'
DEPENDENCE ON CONCESSION SALES
Concession sales accounted for approximately 24% and 23% of the Company's
revenues in the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively; and,
therefore, the financial success of the Company depends, to a significant
extent, on its ability to successfully generate concession sales in the future.
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Generally, the most marketable motion pictures have been released during
the summer and the Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season, so that the
motion picture exhibition industry's revenues have been seasonal. The emergence
of hit films during other periods can alter this traditional trend. In any case,
the timing of releases is likely to have a substantial effect on the Company's
results of operations and the results for any one quarter are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for subsequent quarters. See 'Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Quarterly Results and Seasonality.'
SIGNIFICANT LEVERAGE
The Company has incurred significant debt obligations in the past year in
connection with financing its acquisitions. As of March 31, 1997, Clearview's
total long-term debt, including current maturities thereof, was approximately
$10.7 million, its total assets were approximately $17.5 million and its
stockholders' equity was approximately $2.0 million (deducting approximately
$3.2 million in redeemable equity that, after the Offering, will no longer be
redeemable). During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's
interest expense equaled $358,966 and its operating income plus depreciation and
amortization ('EBITDA') was $782,599. As noted above, the Company expects to
continue incurring debt to finance future acquisitions. The Company's ability to
meet its debt service obligations, including the repayment of principal as it
comes due, will be dependent upon its future performance, which, in turn, will
be subject to general economic conditions and to financial, business and other
factors affecting the operations of the Company, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. If the Company fails to generate sufficient cash flow to
repay its debt, the Company may be required to refinance all or a portion of its
existing debt or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurances that
such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be
obtained.
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS
Certain provisions of Clearview's proposed Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the 'New Certificate') and proposed Amended and Restated
By-laws (the 'New By-laws') could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change of control of Clearview not approved by Clearview's Board of
Directors (the 'Board of Directors') or could affect the prices that investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Common Stock. These
provisions include (i) the division of the directors to be elected by the
holders of the Common Stock into three classes; (ii) the right of the holders of
the Class A Preferred Stock to elect directors separately as a class; (iii) the
requirement that any action to be taken by the holders of the Common Stock be
taken at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company; (iv) advance notice
requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations; (v) a requirement that
the holders of two-thirds of the Common Stock and the Class A Preferred Stock,
voting together, approve the amendment, alteration or repeal of certain
9
provisions of the New Certificate and the New By-laws; and (vi) the authority of
the Board of Directors to fix the rights and preferences of, and issue,
additional shares of the preferred stock, $.01 par value (the 'Preferred
Stock'), of the Company without further action by the holders of the Common
Stock. See 'The Concurrent Transactions' and 'Description of Capital Stock.'
OWNERSHIP AND SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
After consummation of the Offering, the current stockholders of the Company
will collectively own approximately __% of the outstanding Common Stock
(approximately __% if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) and
approximately __% of the Common Stock assuming the conversion of all outstanding
shares of Class A Preferred Stock (approximately __% if the over-allotment
option is exercised in full). As a result of this ownership, if the current
stockholders or some combination thereof act in concert, they will have the
ability to exert significant influence over the policies and affairs of the
Company and corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the
composition of the Board of Directors. This concentration of ownership could
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the
Company, including a business combination with an unaffiliated party, and could
also affect the prices that investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of Common Stock. See 'Management and Directors,' 'Principal Stockholders'
and 'Description of Capital Stock.'
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
Purchasers of shares of Common Stock in the Offering will experience
immediate and substantial dilution of $ in net tangible book value per
share with respect to their shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company
intends to grant options to certain officers of and a consultant to the Company
to purchase up to 155,000 shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering
price. See 'Dilution,' 'Management and Directors--1997 Incentive Plan' and
'Principal Stockholders.'
ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common Stock
and there can be no assurances that an active trading market for the Common
Stock will develop or be sustained. The initial public offering price for the
shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be determined by negotiation between
the Company and the Representative and may not be indicative of the market price
of the Common Stock after consummation of the Offering. See 'Underwriting.'
There can be no assurances that the market price of the Common Stock will not
decline below the initial public offering price. After consummation of the
Offering, the market price of the Common Stock will be subject to fluctuations
in response to a variety of factors, including variations in the Company's
operating results, changes in competitors' circumstances and general economic,
political and market conditions.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
A total of 1,301,250 shares of Common Stock held by the Company's existing
stockholders will be eligible for sale pursuant to exemptions from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), including
exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, following consummation
of the Offering. The Company has also granted registration rights to its
existing stockholders who will beneficially own 2,971,250 shares of Common Stock
following consummation of the Offering. In addition, the Company intends to
register 500,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the
1997 Incentive Plan. See 'Management and Directors--1997 Incentive Plan.' On the
other hand, the Company and its existing stockholders have agreed that they will
not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the
Representative, for a period of one year after the date of this Prospectus,
sell, offer to sell, solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell, pledge, grant
any option for the sale of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or cause the
transfer or disposition of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock,
or exercise any registration rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares
of Common Stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future
sales of any of these shares of Common Stock or the availability of these shares
for future sale will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing
from time to time. Any sales of a substantial number of these shares of Common
Stock in the public market following the Offering, or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock
and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering of
its equity securities. See 'Shares Eligible for Future Sale' and 'Underwriting.'
10
THE CONCURRENT TRANSACTIONS
As of the date of this Prospectus: (i) the Company's outstanding capital
stock consists of 1,388 shares of Common Stock and 779 shares of Class A
Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 779 shares of Common Stock); (ii)
the holders of $1.1 million aggregate principal amount of 8% subordinated
promissory notes of the Company (the '8% Notes') hold 200 warrants to purchase
up to 200 shares of Common Stock (the 'A/B Warrants'); and (iii) the holder of
the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock hold warrants to purchase 471
shares of Class A Preferred Stock (the 'Class A Warrants').
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, the New Certificate
will become effective (the 'Certificate Amendment'). Among the amendments to the
Company's current Certificate of Incorporation contained in the New Certificate
are changes to the terms of the Class A Preferred Stock that include the
following: The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will only vote separately
as a class in connection with (i) any change in the New Certificate that would
adversely affect their rights, (ii) any proposed issuance of shares of Preferred
Stock that would rank senior or pari passu to the Class A Preferred Stock with
respect to dividends or upon liquidation or dissolution, (iii) and the election
of no more than two directors of the Company. The holders of the shares of Class
A Preferred Stock will otherwise vote with the holders of the shares of Common
Stock on all matters other than the election of directors while they have the
right to elect at least one director separately. The right of the holders of the
Class A Preferred Stock to vote separately as a class with respect to the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock that rank pari passu to the Class A
Preferred Stock with respect to dividends or upon liquidation or dissolution
will terminate once the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock represent
less than % of the combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock of
Clearview. Likewise, the right of the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock to
vote separately for the election of directors will terminate once the
outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock represent less than % of the
combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock of Clearview. In those
circumstances, those holders would be entitled to vote with the holders of
shares of Common Stock for the election of directors. See 'Description of
Capital Stock.'
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, a 1250 to 1 stock
split on the Common Stock will become effective and will be accomplished by a
dividend of 1249 shares of Common Stock on each then-outstanding share of Common
Stock (the 'Stock Split').
The holders of the A/B Warrants have agreed that they will exchange 162.5
A/B Warrants for 137,500 shares of Common Stock after the Stock Split (the
'Warrant Exchange') and amend two sets of the 8% Notes, with an aggregate
principal amount of $500,000, so that they mature on October 31, 1997. At the
same time, CMNY Capital II, L.P. ('CMNY'), a holder of 75 A/B Warrants, will
terminate its right to sell, under certain circumstances, the shares of Common
Stock it owns as of the date of this Prospectus to the Company, and the Company
will terminate its right to purchase, under certain circumstances, those same
shares (the 'Put/Call Termination').
The holder of the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock, MidMark
Capital, L.P. ('MidMark'), has agreed to terminate, immediately prior to the
consummation of the Offering, its right to sell, under certain circumstances, to
the Company those shares of Class A Preferred Stock or the shares of Common
Stock into which those shares had been converted (the 'Put Termination'). In
consideration for the termination of this right, the Company will issue to
MidMark 125,000 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Put Termination,
the Class A Warrants will be amended to make them exercisable for up to 588,750
shares of Common Stock (the 'Warrant Amendment').
The Certificate Amendment, the Stock Split, the Warrant Exchange, the
Put/Call Termination, the Put Termination and the Warrant Amendment are
sometimes referred to in this Prospectus as the 'Concurrent Transactions.' The
consummation of the Offering and the Concurrent Transactions are conditioned
upon one another.
11
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated
offering expenses payable by the Company, are estimated to be approximately $
million (assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share). The
Company intends to use the net proceeds as follows:
Repayment of a senior subordinated promissory note (the 'Senior Note')......................... $ 600,000
Acquire the UA Theaters........................................................................
Pending such uses, net proceeds will be invested in short-term, interest
bearing, investment grade securities.
The Senior Note that will be repaid with a portion of the net proceeds from
the Offering was issued by the Company as part of the consideration for three
theaters acquired by the Company in December, 1996. The principal amount of the
Senior Note is $600,000 and its interest rate until December 13, 1997 is 12% per
annum and increases 2% each year thereafter to a maximum of 18%. The Senior Note
will mature at the earlier to occur of December 13, 2001 or the consummation of
an initial public offering of debt or equity securities by the Company.
As set forth above, the Company intends to use a substantial portion of the
net proceeds from the Offering for the acquisition of the UA Theaters. If, for
any reason, that acquisition is not consummated within 90 days after the
consummation of the Offering, the Company will be obligated under its current
credit agreement with Provident (the 'Current Facility') to use those net
proceeds to prepay, in part, the outstanding term loans under that agreement.
See 'Business--Recent Developments.'
DIVIDEND POLICY
Clearview currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to
support its operations and to fund the development and growth of its business
and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock or Class A
Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future. Clearview paid $30,000 in dividends
in the aggregate in 1995 and $10,000 in dividends in the aggregate in 1996. The
decision whether to pay future dividends will be in the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon the Company's earnings, financial condition,
capital requirements, level of indebtedness and other factors that the Board of
Directors deems relevant, subject to any contractual restrictions with respect
to the payment of dividends. The Current Facility does and it is likely that the
New Facility will prohibit the payment of any dividends. Payment of dividends on
the Common Stock is also subject to the requirement that the Company pay
dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock at the same time that dividends are
paid on the Common Stock in a per share amount equal to the product of the
dividend payable per share of Common Stock and the number of shares of Common
Stock into which a share of Class A Preferred Stock is then convertible.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company as of
March 31, 1997 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby (at an assumed initial public offering price of
$ per share), the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described
under 'Use of Proceeds' and the Concurrent Transactions. See 'The Concurrent
Transactions' and 'Use of Proceeds.' This table should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and

DILUTION
The net tangible book value of the Company as of March 31, 1997 was $
, or $ per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share
represents the amount of the Company's tangible assets less total liabilities
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect
to the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby (at an assumed initial
public offering price of $ per share) and after deduction of the
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company,
the Company's net tangible book value as of March 31, 1997 would have been
$ , or $ per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $ per share for existing
stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to the purchasers of
shares of Common Stock in the Offering. The following table illustrates the per
share dilution to investors in the Offering:

after the Offering from the assumed initial public offering price per share.
(4) This calculation does not include the 46,875 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the 37.5 A/B Warrants that will be outstanding after the
Concurrent Transactions or the up to 588,750 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Class A Warrants after the Concurrent Transactions.
The following table summarizes as of March 31, 1997 the differences between

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
Note 1 Theater Acquisitions:
During 1996, the Company acquired the right to operate nine theaters
located in New Jersey and New York. The acquisitions were accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
results of operations of an acquired entity are included in the Company's
historical consolidated financial statements from its acquisition date. Under
that method of accounting, acquired assets are included therein based on an
allocation of their aggregate purchase price as of their dates of acquisition.
The financial information for each of the acquired entities reflects the results
of operations of that entity for the period from January 1, 1996 to their
respective dates of acquisition. The acquisitions are described as follows:
Nelson Ferman Acquisition
The Company purchased three New Jersey theaters and one New York theater in
May, 1996 from four entities that were affiliates of Nelson Ferman, Inc. The
aggregate acquisition cost of $7.0 million was paid by means of $5.0 million in
cash and the issuance of shares of Common Stock.
Lesser Acquisition
The Company purchased two New York theaters in July, 1996 from Bedford
Cinema Corp. and Kisco Cinema, Inc. The acquisition cost of $1,499,000 was paid
in cash.
Magic Cinemas Acquisition
The Company purchased three New Jersey theaters in December, 1996 from
Magic Cinemas, LLC. The purchase price of $5.0 million was paid with a $4.4
million secured note and the Senior Note.
Note 2 Presentation and Pro forma Adjustments:
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 presented above has been prepared as if the acquisitions
described in Note 1 had been consummated as of January 1, 1996.
Pro forma adjustments have been made for the following:
(a) Depreciation expense based on the increase in the book value
of the acquired theaters' property and equipment, which resulted from the
recording of the three purchases and the depreciation of the leaseholds
over the terms of the respective leases.
(b) Amortization expense adjustments reflect, over a 15-year
period, the amortization of the excess of cost over the fair value of
assets acquired.
(c) Interest expense adjustments reflect interests costs on debt
obligations incurred as if the related acquisition financing had occurred
on January 1, 1996.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REFLECTING THE PROBABLE ACQUISITION
NOTE A-- As set forth in 'Business--Recent Developments' elsewhere in this
Prospectus, the Company intends to acquire the right to operate five
theaters from United Artists for $8.65 million in cash, funded through
the use of proceeds from the Offering. Although there is no assurance
that such transaction will be consummated, management of the Company
believes that this acquisition is likely to occur. Accordingly,
historical financial statements for the UA Theaters and these pro forma
financial statements have been presented in this Prospectus.
NOTE B-- The acquisition, as contemplated, would be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting,
the results of operations of an acquired entity are included in the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements from its
acquisition date. Under that method of accounting, the acquired assets
are included based on an allocation of their aggregate purchase price as
of their date of acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet at March 31, 1997 presented herein
has been prepared as if the Probable Acquisition had been consummated on
March 31, 1997. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996
have been prepared as if the Probable Acquisition had been consummated
as of January 1, 1996.
The Company will be acquiring the theater operations, certain real
estate or leasehold interests and the theater equipment of the five
theater locations. Cash, other current assets, amount due from the
parent or affiliates of the theaters and accounts payable and accrued
expenses of the acquired theaters will remain the property of, or
obligation of, the seller.
The net equity of the theaters to be acquired has been eliminated in
combination. The charge for the impairment of long-lived assets has been
eliminated based on the pro forma assumption that the Probable
Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996. Interest expense incurred
by the UA Theaters has also been eliminated in combination.
NOTE C-- The purchase price of the Probable Acquisition is $8.65 million, plus
estimated costs of acquisition of approximately $350,000. An estimated
allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
Land......................................................................... $2,005,000
Buildings and improvements................................................... 3,758,000
Leaseholds and improvements.................................................. 1,712,070
Equipment.................................................................... 1,000,000

Increase in goodwill....................................................... 500,000
----------
4,147,277
----------
----------
NOTE D-- The Company intends to finance the Probable Acquisition through the use
of proceeds from the Offering. For purposes of this pro forma financial
information, it has been assumed that gross proceeds from the Offering
would be $10 million, based on the sale of 1,250,000 shares of the
Common Stock at $8.00 per share. Expenses of the Offering are estimated
to be $1.5 milion. The assumed net proceeds to the Company of $8.5
million will be used to repay the Senior Note ($600,000), with the
remaining $7,900,000 used to acquire the UA Theaters. See 'Use of
Proceeds'. Clearview will use approximately $750,000 of its available
cash resources to complete this transaction.
NOTE E-- In June 1997, the Company reacquired the Provident Warrants to purchase
196,250 shares of Common Stock which were previously issued to
Provident for $1.0 million, plus up to another $300,000, under certain
circumstances. See 'Certain Transactions.' The pro forma balance sheet
gives effect to the entire $1.3 million
20
purchase price as a capital transaction. This purchase price was
financed by a term loan of $1.3 million from Provident. Pro forma
effect has also been given to interest expense based on the terms of
the $1.3 million loan. Unamortized debt discount originally recorded in
connection with the issuance of the Provident Warrants was charged to
retained earnings in the pro forma balance sheet at March 31, 1997.
NOTE F-- The pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations also give
effect to the Concurrent Transactions as if they had occurred on
January 1, 1996.
The exchange of 162.5 A/B Warrants for 137,500 shares of Common Stock
has been included as a capital transaction in the March 31, 1997 pro
forma balance sheet by recording the par value of the shares issued
with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital. The related
portion of the unamortized debt discount has been written off and
charged to retained earnings in the March 31, 1997 pro forma Balance
Sheet, as such unamortized debt discount will be charged to expense
upon consummation of the Concurrent Transactions. Pro forma effect is
also given to the termination of a certain stockholder's redemption
right.
Pro forma effect has also been given to the issuance of 125,000 shares
of Common Stock to the holder of the Class A Preferred Stock in
consideration of its termination of another redemption right.
See 'Concurrent Transactions.'

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and
financial condition should be read in conjunction with 'Prospectus
Summary--Summary Consolidated Financial Data' and the Company's consolidated
financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
The Company has achieved significant growth in theaters and screens since
its formation in December, 1994. Since inception, the Company has acquired the
right to operate 13 theaters with 55 screens, has added six screens to two
existing theaters, and is developing a new theater with 10 screens. The Company
expects that its future revenue growth will be derived primarily from the
operation of additional theaters, the development of new theaters and adding
screens to existing theaters. The Company has had no theater closings since
inception.
The Company's revenues are predominantly generated from box office
receipts, concession sales and on-screen advertising. Direct theater costs
include film rental and booking fees and the cost of concessions. Other theater
operating expenses consist primarily of theater labor and related fringe benefit
costs and occupancy costs (including rent and/or real estate taxes, utilities,
repairs and maintenance, cleaning costs and supplies). Film rental costs are
directly related to the popularity of a film and the length of time since that
film's release. Film rental costs generally decline as a percentage of box
office receipts the longer a film has been showing. As certain concession items,
such as fountain drinks and popcorn, are purchased in bulk and not prepackaged
for individual servings, the Company has significant gross profit margins on
those items.
The Company believes that any future increases in minimum wage requirements
or negotiated increases in union wages will not significantly increase its
theater operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate overhead
costs, such as management and office salaries and related fringe benefit costs,
professional fees, insurance costs and general office expenses. The Company
believes that its current internal controls and management information system
will allow the Company to expand its number of screens without incurring
proportionate increases in general and administrative expenses.
In September, 1995, the Company acquired the right to operate three
theaters with 11 screens in Nassau County, New York in an all-cash transaction.
In May, 1996, the Company purchased the leaseholds of four theaters with 19
screens in New York and New Jersey for a combination of stock and cash. In July,
1996, Clearview purchased the leaseholds of two theaters with seven screens in
Westchester County, New York for cash. In December, 1996, Clearview acquired two
more theaters with the underlying real estate and the leasehold of another
theater with a total of 13 screens in Bergen County, New Jersey for cash. See
'Business--Acquisition History.'
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
Total Revenues. Total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased
246.1% to $3,505,935 from $1,013,003 in the comparable 1996 period. The increase
in revenues resulted primarily from a 259.5% increase in attendance to 539,748
attendees from 150,121 attendees in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively. This increase is attributable primarily to the Company's operation
of nine additional theaters during 1996. For the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, the Company had a total of 60 screens and 21 screens in
operation, respectively. Average ticket prices for the Company's theaters
remained relatively constant during the first quarters of 1997 and 1996. Total
concession sales increased 228.6% for the first quarter of 1997 to $743,986 from
$226,425 in the comparable 1996 period.
Film Rental and Booking Fees. Film rental and booking fees increased
246.3% to $1,196,126 in the first quarter of 1997 from $345,411 in the first
quarter of 1996. As a percentage of box office receipts, film rental and booking
fees stayed relatively constant at 44.1% and 44.2% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
22
Cost of Concession Sales. Cost of concession sales for the first quarter
of 1997 increased 228.1% to $108,605 from $33,097 for the first quarter of 1996.
As a percentage of concession revenues, the cost of concession sales remained
constant at 14.6% for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996.
Theater Operating Expenses. Theater operating expenses increased 165.0% to
$1,226,799 in the first quarter of 1997 from $463,024 during the first quarter
of 1996. This increase is attributable solely to the nine theaters acquired in
1996, which acquisitions occurred after the first quarter of 1996. As a
percentage of total revenues, theater operating expenses decreased to 35.0% in
the first quarter of 1997 from 45.7% in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease,
as a percentage of total revenues, is primarily due to the Company's efficient
management of its variable costs, such as labor and utilities, and the lower
average per-theater fixed costs, such as occupancy costs, taxes and common area
maintenance costs, of the theaters acquired in 1996 as compared to the Company's
other theaters.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased by 100.8% to $191,806 in the first quarter of 1997 from $95,525 in the
first quarter of 1996. This increase is due principally to the hiring of
additional personnel and increases in salaries resulting from the transition
from seven locations and 21 screens at the beginning of 1996 to 16 locations and
60 screens at the beginning of 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, however,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.5% for the first quarter of
1977 from 9.4% for the first quarter of 1996. This decrease is primarily due to
the Company's internal controls and management information system which allowed
the Company to expand its number of screens without incurring proportionate
increases in general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense in
the first quarter of 1997 increased 1084.7% to $425,011 from $35,874 in the
first quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily a result of the acquisition
of the nine theaters acquired in 1996, which significantly increased the
Company's depreciable and amortizable assets.
Operating Income. Operating income for the first quarter of 1997 increased
792.4% to $357,588 from $40,072 for the comparable 1996 period. As a percentage
of total revenues, operating income increased to 10.2% from 4.0% for the first
quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Operating income increased as a
percentage of total revenues due primarily to the relatively fixed nature of
certain of the Company's other theater operating expenses, principally occupancy
costs, certain improvements in operating efficiency, the lower average occupancy
costs per-theater for the theaters acquired in 1996 as compared to the Company's
other theaters, and an increase in general and administrative expenses which was
less, on a percentage basis, than the growth in total revenues.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 559.1% in the first quarter
of 1997 to $358,966 from $54,466 in the first quarter of 1996. This increase was
attributable to the significant increase in the Company's total debt during
1996, which was primarily incurred in connection with the Company's acquisitions
in that year.
Net Loss. Net loss in the first quarter of 1997 decreased to $1,378 from a
net loss of $14,394 in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease in net loss is
attributable primarily to the additional screens operated by the Company in 1997
as a result of its acquisitions in 1996, improved theater level operating
margins and an increase in general and administrative expenses which was less,
on a percentage basis, than the growth in total revenues.
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
Total Revenues. Total revenues for 1996 increased 249.5% to $8,197,974
from $2,345,697 in 1995. This increase in total revenues was primarily a result
of an increase in attendance of 249.2% to 1,101,251 attendees from 315,406
attendees in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in attendance occurred
principally because of the addition of 39 screens during 1996 and the first full
year of operation of the 13 screens added during 1995. Revenues from those
theaters operated by the Company throughout 1995 and 1996 increased 15.67% from
$1,541,843 to $1,783,260. This increase in same theater revenues was
attributable primarily to an overall increase in attendance at two theaters and
the conversion from a single-screen to a triplex at another theater location.
Average ticket prices for the Company's theaters remained relatively constant
during 1995 and 1996. Total concession sales increased 235.5% in 1996 to
$1,861,155 from $554,671 in 1995 principally for the same reasons.
23
Film Rental and Booking Fees. Film rental and booking fees increased
266.9% for 1996 to $3,022,377 from $823,791 for 1995. As a percentage of box
office receipts, film rental and booking fees increased to 48.8% from 46.8% for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This increase is
primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of the six theaters acquired
in May and July of 1996 (film rental and booking fees as a percentage of box
office receipts are generally higher during the summer months than most of the
rest of the year).
Cost of Concession Sales. Cost of concession sales for 1996 increased
181.6% to $279,549 from $99,261 for 1995. As a percentage of concession
revenues, the cost of concession sales decreased to 15.0% from 17.9% for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's gross margin
on concession revenues improved in 1996 when compared to 1995 as a result of
obtaining volume discounts.
Theater Operating Expenses. Theater operating expenses increased 205.8% to
$3,297,825 for 1996 from $1,078,370 for 1995 primarily due to the Company's
acquisitions during 1996. As a percentage of total revenues, theater operating
expenses decreased to 40.2% from 46.0% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. This reduction was due to the Company's careful management
of its theater labor and fringe benefit costs and the lower average per-theater
fixed costs, such as occupancy costs, taxes and common area maintenance costs,
of the theaters acquired in 1996 as compared to the Company's other theaters. As
a percentage of box office receipts, theater labor and fringe benefit costs
decreased to 20.9% from 23.2% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for 1996 increased 57.2% to $589,822 from $375,262 for 1995. This increase is
due principally to the hiring of additional personnel and increases in salaries
resulting from the transition from seven locations and 21 screens at the
beginning of 1996 to 16 locations and 60 screens by the end of 1996. As a
percentage of total revenues, however, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 7.2% from 16.0% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. This decrease is primarily due to the Company's internal controls
and management information system which allowed the Company to expand its number
of screens without incurring proportionate increases in general and
administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for
1996 increased 586.5% to $684,007 from $99,632 for 1995. This increase was
primarily a result of the acquisition of the nine theaters acquired in 1996,
which significantly increased the Company's depreciable and amortizable assets.
Operating Income. Operating income for 1996 increased to $324,394 from an
operating loss of $130,619 for 1995. This increase in the Company's operating
income was primarily due to certain improvements in operating efficiency, the
lower average occupancy costs per-theater of the theaters acquired in 1996 as
compared to the Company's other theaters, and an increase in general and
administrative expenses which was less, on a percentage basis, than the growth
in total revenues.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for 1996 increased 590.5% to $591,722
from $85,697 for 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the
significant increase in the Company's total debt during 1996, which was
primarily incurred to finance the Company's acquisitions during that year.
Net Loss. Net loss for 1996 increased 23.6% to $267,328 from a net loss of
$216,316 for 1995. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the Company's
acquisitions during 1996 that resulted in a significant increase in depreciation
and amortization expense, which is a non-cash expense, and a large increase in
interest expense, which is primarily a cash expense.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from box office
receipts and concession sales and, therefore, benefits from the fact that it
has, in effect, no accounts receivable and minimal inventory requirements. On
the other hand, the Company's most significant operating expenses, film rental
and booking fees, are typically paid to distributors 30 to 45 days following the
receipt of the applicable cash ticket payments. In addition, most of the rest of
the Company's operating expenses, such as theater payroll and theater rent, are
paid bi-weekly or monthly, respectively. The periods between the receipt of cash
from operations and use of that cash to pay the related expenses provides
certain operating capital to the Company.
24
Since the Company is in an industry which is capital intensive,
substantially all of its assets are non-current. The Company's primary current
asset is cash, while inventories are relatively insignificant throughout the
fiscal year. The Company had negative working capital of $1,484,683 at March 31,
1997, $1,710,825 at December 31, 1996 and $366,841 at December 31, 1995,
respectively. The increase in negative working capital is primarily attributable
to the increase in the current portion of long-term debt.
The Company has financed its day-to-day operations principally from the
cash flow generated by its operating activities. Such cash flow totaled
$1,154,409 in 1996, as compared to $118,820 in 1995. The difference between the
Company's net income and its cash flow from operating activities are principally
due to the Company's depreciation and amortization expenses of $684,007 in 1996
and $99,632 in 1995, which are non-cash expenses, and an increase in accounts
payable. The Company's cash flow generated by its operating activities was a
negative $77,092 and a positive $780,455 in the first quarters of 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The difference between the Company's net income and its cash flow
from operating activities in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996 is primarily
due to the Company's depreciation and amortization expenses of $425,011 and
$35,874 in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, which are non-cash
expenses, and an increase in accounts payable.
The Company's capital requirements in 1995 and 1996 arose principally in
connection with theater acquisitions, the renovation of existing theaters, the
development of new theaters and the addition of screens to an existing theater.
Such capital expenditures were financed principally with bank borrowings,
seller-provided financing, equity financing and internally-generated cash.
Capital expenditures, exclusive of theater acquisitions, totaled approximately
$852,000 in 1996 and $631,000 in 1995. During 1996, the Company funded its
capital expenditures, including theater acquisitions, through approximately $4.3
million of bank borrowings, $5.0 million of seller-provided financing, $2.5
million of gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Preferred Stock and
$2.0 million from the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the seller of a
theater. In January, 1997, the Company retired $4.4 million of that
seller-provided financing with additional bank borrowings and $100,000 in cash.
The Company seeks to lease theaters rather than to purchase theaters with
their underlying real estate or to purchase properties for development as
theaters due to the significantly lower capital requirements for leasing and
because it believes that its potential return on investment when leasing a
theater is higher than its potential return on investment if it owns that
theater and the underlying real estate.
The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures, including for
acquisitions, in 1997 will be approximately $25.0 million. Of this amount,
$500,000 was used to add four screens to the Company's theater in Chester, New
Jersey, $900,000 was used to convert a part of a building into a theater in
Summit, New Jersey, $100,000 will be used to renovate a theater in Brooklyn, New
York that the Company has signed a lease to operate, but has not yet taken
possession of, and $8.65 million will be used to purchase the UA Theaters. The
Company has not entered into agreements with any other parties with respect to
the renovation, development or acquisition of any other theaters. The Company
believes that its capital needs for the acquisition, renovation and development
of additional theaters for the next 12 to 18 months will be met by means of the
New Facility, from internally-generated cash flow and from the net proceeds from
the Offering.
QUARTERLY RESULTS AND SEASONALITY
Historically, the most successful films have been released during the
summer and Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season. Consequently, motion
picture exhibitors generally have had proportionately higher revenues during
such periods, although the seasonality of motion picture exhibition revenue has
become less pronounced in recent years as studios have begun to release major
motion pictures more evenly throughout the year. The Company believes that its
regular exhibition of art films has contributed to a moderation in the
seasonality of its own revenues as compared to the seasonality of the revenues
of some of its competitors. Nevertheless, the Company's revenues and income in
any particular quarter will be substantially the result of the commercial
success of the particular films being exhibited during such quarter.
25
EFFECT OF INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations to
date.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ('SFAS') No. 121, 'Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of', requires that certain long-lived assets be reviewed for possible impairment
and written down to fair value, if appropriate. The Company adopted this
pronouncement in 1996 and adoption did not have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation', requires companies
to measure employee stock compensation plans based on a fair value method of
accounting. However, the statement allows the alternative of continued use of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees', with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share
determined as if the fair value based method had been applied in measuring
compensation cost. The Company adopted the pro forma disclosure provisions of
this new pronouncement in 1996 and such adoption did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 128, 'Earnings per Share', was issued in February 1997, and is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997. SFAS 128 requires that earnings per share be presented more in line with
earnings per share standards of other countries. The Company expects to adopt
SFAS 128 for the year ending December 31, 1997. The Company has not yet
determined the effect of adoption of this new pronouncement on its financial
statements.

BUSINESS
GENERAL
Clearview is a regional motion picture exhibitor that operates in-town
multiplex theaters primarily located in affluent suburban communities in the New
York/New Jersey metropolitan area. The Company's theaters offer a mix of
first-run commercial, art and family-oriented films designed to appeal primarily
to sophisticated moviegoers and families with younger children. Since its
inception in December, 1994, the Company has grown from four to 17 theaters and
from eight to 69 screens. From 1995 to 1996, the Company's revenues have
increased from $2.3 million to $8.2 million and theater level operating income
has increased from $344,000 to $1.6 million.
The Company's strategy is to grow primarily through the acquisition or
development of in-town multiplex theaters. The Company seeks locations in the
retail centers of suburban communities that have the characteristics of the
Company's target audiences. The Company intends to build upon its concentration
of existing theaters and to expand into retail centers in suitable communities
throughout the Middle Atlantic and New England states. The Company also will be
opportunistic when evaluating theaters and locations in communities that meet
many, but not necessarily all, of the Company's criteria. The Company intends to
grow by operating additional theaters, adding screens to its existing theaters
and developing theaters in locations not previously used for motion picture
exhibition.
The theatrical exhibition industry is fragmented. Although the fifty
largest theater circuits operated approximately 76% of the screens in use at May
1, 1995, there are a substantial number of small independent exhibitors with
four or fewer theaters. The large circuits that are growing most rapidly appear
to have begun to concentrate on building new mega-multiplex theaters, rather
than buying established theaters. The Company believes that, in the Middle
Atlantic and New England states, in-town theaters serve audiences that prefer
these theaters to the larger out-of-town multiplex theaters. The Company also
believes that in-town theaters can offer movie selections more attuned to their
local markets, better customer service and more convenience when compared to
out-of-town multiplexes. Primarily for these reasons, the Company thinks that
operating in-town theaters can be attractive, and the Company believes that
there are a large number of potential acquisition candidates. The Company seeks
to identify targets that will complement its existing theaters or provide entry
into new markets.
The Company seeks to improve the operating margins of its theaters by
controlling theater level costs through centralized management, by increased
efficiencies in concession purchasing and through film selection that is
sensitive to the local community's tastes. The Company intends to acquire or
develop clusters of theaters that will increase its flexibility by permitting
the sharing of theater managers and skilled and hourly wage personnel. Clearview
believes that its management information system and internal controls gives its
senior management timely access to comprehensive operating data, allows the
local theater managers to focus on day-to-day operations, and enables the
Company to expand its theater operations without incurring proportionate
increases in general and administrative expenses.
The Company seeks theaters that will be the sole or dominant exhibitors in
their geographic film licensing zones. A geographic film licensing zone or 'film
zone' is a geographic area, recognized by film distributors, that generally has
a three to five mile radius in metropolitan and suburban markets, in which a
film is licensed for exhibition at only one theater in that film zone.
Currently, 75% of the Company's theaters are the sole exhibitors in their film
zones.
Clearview's theaters are community-oriented and place a strong emphasis on
patron satisfaction and customer service. The theaters provide clean and
comfortable environments at convenient in-town locations and offer opportune
movie show times, courtesy telephones for local calls and a large variety of
specialty concession items. The Company's theaters are characterized by custom
interiors and decor designed to enhance the movie-going experience. In addition,
the Company provides party and special event facilities for community residents
and regularly participates in community fundraising and charity functions to
maintain patron loyalty.
27
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Theatrical exhibition is the primary initial distribution channel for new
motion pictures. The Company believes that the success of most films produced in
the United States during their domestic theatrical exhibition remains the best
indicator of their overall success. Other forms of delivery systems, such as
cable television, direct satellite delivery, video cassettes and pay-per-view
television, do not appear to have adversely affected the level of theater
admissions in the United States or the number of films released for theatrical
exhibition in the United States. This is evidenced by the relatively stable
theater attendance numbers and the increase in the number of films released for
theatrical exhibition in recent years. The Company believes that the
proliferation of distribution channels and the growth of the overseas markets
for films produced in the United States have, in fact, raised the potential
revenues that successful U.S. films can generate. The Company also believes,
therefore, that the film industry will continue to increase the number of films
available for theatrical exhibition which will permit the U.S.-based theater
industry to continue to expand.
The National Association of Theater Owners estimates that there were
approximately 360 theatrical motion picture exhibitors in the United States at
the end of 1995. Of these, 235 operated four or fewer theaters. In the five-year
period 1991 to 1995, the average ticket price for movies shown by
publicly-traded exhibitors has increased approximately 6%; compared to the U.S.
Consumer Price Index, which has increased by approximately 12%. During the same
period, admission revenues for these exhibitors increased from approximately
$1.37 billion to approximately $2.32 billion.
The multiplex theater was introduced to the moviegoing public in the 1960's
and multiplexing is now considered the industry standard. The advantages of a
multiplex theatrical format include the following: (i) the ability to play a
range of movies to fit the various tastes of the moviegoing public; (ii) the
ability to accommodate the expected size of the audience for a particular movie;
(iii) the ability to run a popular movie for a longer period of time and to
exhibit newer films immediately upon their release; and (iv) the ability to show
a single film in two auditoriums simultaneously, thereby effectively increasing
the viewing capacity for a popular film.
BUSINESS PLAN
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company intends to acquire or develop primarily in-town, four to eight
screen, multiplex theaters in affluent suburban communities in the New York/New
Jersey metropolitan area in retail centers that are the focus of community life
or are being revitalized. The Company also plans to expand its operations into
other Middle Atlantic and New England states.
o Selectively Acquire Theater Operations
The Company believes that one of its strengths is its ability to
successfully identify available theaters in appropriate locations. A significant
number of theaters in the types of communities in which Clearview would want to
operate a theater are closely-held businesses that often do not have sufficient
capital to expand or renovate or are not managed as efficiently as possible. In
addition, because many of the major movie theater circuits are focused on
acquiring or developing mega-multiplex theaters, the Company believes that it
can offer an attractive 'exit strategy' for small independent operators. The
Company has also identified certain larger motion picture circuits with theaters
that may be suitable for acquisition.
o Add Screens to Existing Theaters
The Company plans to add screens to existing theaters when the Company
believes that this will increase revenues and cash flow. By adding screens, the
Company is able to offer a larger selection of films that can attract more
patrons. Dividing an auditorium into two or more smaller auditoriums, thus, can
create additional revenue with only a marginal increase in expenses.
28
o Develop New Theaters
The Company believes that it can successfully identify locations in
suitable communities that can be developed into theaters. Opportunities have
been presented by real estate developers who wish to enhance their properties
with the presence of a movie theater, which opportunities often would require
limited direct investment by the Company. In addition, Clearview has been
approached by the governments or community development agencies of towns in the
New York/New Jersey metropolitan area that are interested in revitalizing parts
of their communities and believe that a movie theater could provide impetus to
such redevelopment.
OPERATING STRATEGY
The Company believes that there are several aspects of its operating
strategy that help to differentiate it from other exhibitors.
o Theater Facilities/Environment
Clearview's theaters are located in towns and communities rather than in
shopping malls or on highways. Each of the Company's theaters is located on a
major street in its town and is easily accessible. They are generally surrounded
by upscale stores and restaurants and parking is typically available at each
location. An important aspect of Clearview's operating strategy is to provide a
clean, comfortable and visually appealing environment, which usually includes
silk flower arrangements, chandeliers and a decorative fireplace. When Clearview
acquires a theater it typically refurbishes the existing seats and equips them
with cup holders. In addition, Clearview will generally redecorate the lobby,
upgrade the concession stand and provide a courtesy phone so that patrons can
make local telephone calls. The concession stand at each theater offers
high-margin snack and food items, such as fruit juices, bottled water, ice
cream, cappuccino and Swiss chocolates, as well as soft drinks, popcorn and an
assortment of candy items.
o Film Selection
The Company believes that its mix of films is unique among the larger
motion picture circuits. By concurrently showing first-run commercial, art and
family-oriented films, Clearview seeks to appeal to three main groups: families
with younger children (10 years of age and younger), baby boomers generally and
older moviegoers in affluent suburban communities. Because Clearview regularly
plays art films in most of its theaters throughout the year, it has been able to
establish good relationships with the distributors of those types of films.
These relationships, in turn, have resulted in increased flexibility concerning
the movement of prints, length of run and film rent. Clearview is sensitive to
the tastes of its audience in each community and adjusts its mix of films
accordingly.
o Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is one of Clearview's highest priorities. Clearview
believes that its theaters are perceived as good neighbors and it encourages
community involvement through regular participation in community fundraising and
charity functions. Most of the Company's theaters accommodate birthday parties
and other special events. Typically, food and beverages are provided by the
theater at such events. As a service-oriented business where cleanliness,
upkeep, safety and interaction with the general public are integral to success,
Clearview believes that it is vital that its employees be dedicated and
energetic. The Company mandates an extensive set of procedures to keep its
theaters clean and to ensure proper film presentation. Adherence to employee
dress and appearance codes and to specific rules of behavior is also required of
all its theater employees.
o Centralized Decision Making
The Company has developed sophisticated internal controls and installed a
computerized management information system of the type used by some of the
largest movie circuits to control and account for all aspects of their
day-to-day operations. Clearview believes that its internal controls and
management information system enable it to expand the number of locations and
screens in its circuit without a proportionate increase in general and
administrative expenses. The Company can closely track and manage theater and
concession revenues. The
29
management information system has on-line capabilities to collect information
concerning box office receipts, ticketing, concession sales, inventory control
and booking.
o Operating Efficiencies
The Company seeks to acquire or develop theaters in communities that are
close to the communities where the Company's existing theaters are located. This
enables theaters to share skilled personnel and for the appropriate district
manager to coordinate the theaters' activities. In addition, the Company has
begun experimenting with advertising theaters in communities that are close to
each other under a single 'umbrella' to increase awareness and occupancy levels.
Adding screens at theaters that the Company acquires the right to operate will
enable it to offer a diverse selection of films, serve patrons from common
support facilities, and stagger movie showing times to increase attendance and
improve the utilization of seating capacity.
ACQUISITIONS
Since its initial acquisition of the leaseholds of four theaters in
December, 1994, Clearview has completed four transactions. From December 31,
1994 through the date of this Prospectus, the number of Clearview theaters has
increased from four to 17 and the number of Clearview screens has increased from
eight to 69. A summary of Clearview's acquisitions (both completed and pending)
is set forth in the following table.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On June 30, 1997, Clearview reacquired the Provident Warrants from
Provident for $1.0 million (or $ per share), plus the lesser of $300,000 (or
$ per share) or the product of (x) 186,250 and (y) the difference between
the initial public offering price in the Offering and $ per share. At the
same time, Clearview and Provident amended the Current Facility between them to
provide a term loan to Clearview of $1.3 million, of which $1.0 million was used
to pay the initial purchase price for the Provident Warrants and $300,000 was to
be used to pay some of the costs already incurred or to be incurred by the
Company in connection with the Offering. See 'Certain Transactions.'
On July , 1997, Clearview entered into an agreement with United Artists
to acquire either all the UA Theaters for an aggregate purchase price of $8.65
million or one theater in New City, New York for $1.4 million and paid United
Artists a $75,000 non-refundable deposit. These five UA Theaters have a total of
14 screens and are located in Wayne, New Jersey and Bronxville, Larchmont,
Mamaroneck and New City, New York. Clearview can exercise its right to acquire
the UA theaters at any time until October , 1997. If the Company exercises
that right by that date and does not consummate the acquisition by November ,
1997, it will have the right to delay the closing for an additional 90 days upon
payment of $75,000 to United Artists. If Clearview does not exercise that right
prior to October , 1997, it has no further obligation to United Artists.
FILM LICENSING
The Company licenses films from distributors on a film-by-film and
theater-by-theater basis. Prior to negotiating for film licenses, senior
management of Clearview, working with three outside film buyers, evaluates the
prospects for upcoming films using many factors, including cast, director, plot,
performance of similar films, estimated film rental costs and expected Motion
Picture Association of America rating. Senior management makes the final
determination regarding which films to license. Clearview's success when
licensing particular films depends in large part upon its knowledge of trends
and the historical film preferences of the residents in the markets served by
its theaters, as well as on the availability of motion pictures that the Company
believes will be successful in those markets.
A film is licensed from one of the film distributors owned by the major
film production companies or from one of the independent film distributors that
generally distribute films for smaller production companies for exhibition at
only one theater in a particular film licensing zone. Film distributors
typically recognize geographic film licensing zones with radii of three to five
miles in metropolitan and suburban markets, depending primarily on population
density. Of Clearview's current theaters, 75% are the sole exhibitors in their
film zones, permitting the Company to choose which films it wishes to exhibit at
these theaters.
In film zones where Clearview is the sole exhibitor, a film license is
generally obtained by Clearview after selecting a film from among those offered
and negotiating directly with its distributor. In film zones where there are
multiple exhibitors, a distributor will either require the exhibitors in the
film zone to bid for a film or will allocate films among the exhibitors in the
film zone. When films are licensed under the allocation process, a distributor
will choose which exhibitor is to be offered a movie and then that exhibitor
will have to negotiate film rental terms directly with that distributor. Over
the past several years, distributors have almost exclusively used the allocation
process rather than the bidding process to license their films in the New
York/New Jersey metropolitan area. When films are licensed through a bidding
process, exhibitors compete for licenses based upon the film rental fees to be
paid. The Company currently does not bid for films in any of its film zones,
although it may be required to do so in the future.
31
Clearview predominantly licenses 'first run' films. If the Company believes
that a film has substantial remaining potential following its first run, it may
license that film for a 'second run.' Second runs enable Clearview to exhibit a
variety of films during periods in which there are few new releases and to offer
its target audience an opportunity to see a film that did not fit into
Clearview's first run schedule. Film distributors establish second run
availability on a national or market-by-market basis after a film's release from
first run theaters and generally permit each theater within a market to exhibit
that film.
Each film license typically specifies that the rental fee is based on
either a gross box office receipts formula or a theater admissions revenue
formula depending upon which one results in the larger amount. In addition, if a
distributor deems a film to be extremely promising, exhibitors may be required
to pay non-refundable guarantees of film rental fees or to make refundable
advance payments of film rental fees or both in order to obtain a license for
that film. Under a gross box office receipts formula, the distributor receives a
specified percentage of box office receipts from the licensed film, with the
percentage declining over the term of the film run. First run commercial and
family-oriented film rental fees typically begin at approximately 70% to 50% of
box office receipts for the licensed film (depending on the type of film and its
distributor) and gradually decline, over a period of four to seven weeks, to as
low as 30% of box office receipts. First run art film rental fees and second run
commercial and family-oriented film rental fees typically begin at 35% of box
office receipts for the licensed film and often decline to 30% of box office
receipts after the first week. Under a theater admissions revenue formula
(commonly known as a '90/10' clause), the distributor receives a specified
percentage (i.e., 90%) of the excess of box office receipts for a given film
over a negotiated allowance for theater overhead expenses. Although generally
not specifically contemplated by the provisions of film licenses, the terms of a
film license often is adjusted or renegotiated subsequent to the initial release
of the film.
The Company's business is dependent upon the availability of marketable
first run commercial, family-oriented and art motion pictures and its
relationships with distributors. Many distributors provide first run movies to
the motion picture exhibition industry; however, distribution has been
historically dominated by a limited number of distributors (Warner Brothers,
Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal, Disney/Touchstone, MGM/UA and
Columbia/Tri-Star) which, since 1989, have typically accounted for well over 75%
of domestic admission revenues and virtually every one of the top 25 grossing
films in a given year. No single major distributor dominates the market.
Disruption in the production of motion pictures by the major studios and/or
independent producers, poor commercial success of motion pictures or poor
relationships with distributors could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business and results of operations.
The Company licenses films from each of the major distributors and believes
that its relationships with these distributors are good. The Company also
licenses films from independent film distributors on a consistent basis. Because
these distributors often have difficulty licensing films at theaters that are
well-maintained and technologically up-to-date, these distributors have
cooperated with the Company when it seeks to move prints, modify the length of a
film's run or change a film's rent. From year to year, the box office revenues
of the Company attributable to individual distributors will vary depending upon
the films they distribute. Set forth below are the top fifteen distributors for
the Company for 1995 and 1996, ranked by the number of films shown.

One of the three film buyers with whom the Company works is employed by
Cineplex Odeon. Some of the Company's theaters, excluding any theaters for which
that buyer helps acquire films, compete with theaters owned by Cineplex Odeon.
The Company believes that, to date, this arrangement has been beneficial.
COMPETITION
The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive, particularly
with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons and acquiring or developing
theaters to operate. The Company's theaters compete with theaters operated by
national and regional circuits and by smaller independent exhibitors. The
Company believes that the principal competitive factors with respect to film
licensing include licensing terms, the seating capacity, location and reputation
of an exhibitor's theaters, the quality of projection and sound equipment at an
exhibitor's theaters and an exhibitor's ability and willingness to promote
films. Competition for patrons is dependent upon factors such as the
availability of popular films, the location of theaters, the comfort and quality
of theaters and ticket prices. The Company believes that it competes favorably
with respect to each of these factors.
There were approximately 360 domestic motion picture exhibitors at the end
of 1995. Motion picture exhibitors vary substantially in size, from small
independent operators of single screen theaters to large national chains of
multi-screen theaters. Many of the Company's larger competitors have been in
existence significantly longer than the Company and may be better established in
the markets where the Company's theaters are or may, in the future, be located.
Certain of the Company's larger competitors have sought to increase the number
of theaters and screens in operation in particular markets. Such increases may
cause those markets or portions thereof to become overscreened, which could
negatively impact the earnings of the Company's theaters, if any, in those
markets.
The Company analyzes the level of competition in a geographic area prior to
and in the early stages of the negotiation of any development or acquisition of
a theater. This analysis is crucial as many of the Company's potential theater
locations are primarily in well-established communities that have previously
experienced the building of large out-of town multiplexes and the addition of
screens to in-town theaters.
The Company's theaters also face competition from a number of other motion
picture delivery systems, such as cable television, direct satellite delivery,
video cassettes and pay-per-view television. The impact of such delivery systems
on the motion picture exhibition industry is difficult to determine precisely,
and there can be no assurances that existing or future delivery systems will not
have an adverse impact on attendance at movie theaters. The Company believes
that the public will continue to recognize the advantages of viewing a movie on
a large screen with superior audio-visual quality as a shared experience in a
public forum and that alternative delivery systems do not provide an experience
comparable to the out-of-home entertainment experience of attending a movie in a
theater. The Company believes that movie theaters also face competition from
other forms of outside-the-home entertainment that compete for the public's
leisure time and disposable income. Clearview believes that movie exhibition is
priced competitively relative to other out-of-home entertainment options, such
as music concerts, sporting events and live theater.
EMPLOYEES
As of April 30, 1997, the Company had 300 employees, of which seven worked
at the corporate headquarters, 38 are theater managers and projectionists and
255 are hourly employees. Clearview employs one primary manager and one or more
relief managers at each of its theaters. In most of its theaters, each shift
(which is five to six hours) has a manager and a projectionist or a single
manager/projectionist. Generally, the theater manager serves as the
projectionist if the applicable theater has four or fewer screens. In the larger
theaters there are separate managers and projectionists. In addition, each of
the Company's four district managers, who is also a manager of a theater in his
district, has certain supervisory obligations. The Company has entered into an
agreement with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees union
that provides for a skilled projectionist for every shift at a substantial
number of its theaters. The Company believes that its relationship with such
union is good.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
The distribution of motion pictures is in large part regulated by federal
and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases.
The Company has never been a party to any of such cases or the resulting
decrees, but its licensing operations are subject to those decrees. The consent
decrees resulting from such cases
33
bind certain major motion picture distributors and require the films of those
distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including the Company, on
a film-by-film and theater-by-theater basis. Consequently, exhibitors, such as
the Company, cannot assure themselves of a supply of films by entering into
long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must negotiate for licenses
on a film-by-film and theater-by-theater basis.
The Federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the 'Disabilities Act')
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations and
employment. The Disabilities Act became effective as to public accommodations in
January, 1992 and as to employment in July, 1992. The Company will have new
theaters constructed to be accessible to the disabled and believes that it is
otherwise in substantial compliance with all current applicable regulations
relating to accommodations for the disabled. The Company intends to comply with
any future regulations relating to accommodating the needs of the disabled, and
the Company does not currently anticipate that such compliance will require the
Company to expend substantial funds.
The Company's theater operations are also subject to federal, state and
local laws governing such matters as wages and working conditions, health and
sanitation requirements and licensing. A significant portion of the Company's
employees are paid just above the federal minimum wage and, accordingly, already
adopted and further increases in that minimum wage could increase the Company's
labor costs.
In connection with the construction, renovation and operation of its
theaters, the Company and its contractors and landlords are required to obtain
proper building and operating permits and to comply with the other requirements
of local zoning and other laws and regulations. The Company does not anticipate
that compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material adverse
effect on its business.
PROPERTIES
The Company leases or sub-leases all of its theaters other than the two
theaters in Tenafly and Bergenfield, New Jersey, which are owned by the Company.
The three theaters in Nassau County are being operated under agreements under
which the Company pays rent to the landlords and has the right beginning in
September, 1997 to acquire the underlying leaseholds and related theater
equipment upon paying the optionor an amount to be calculated based on the
operating cash flow of the theaters. The option will expire in September, 2000
if not exercised, and the three theaters would then be returned to the optionor.
When a theater is developed for Clearview or Clearview acquires a theater
from a landlord, the term of the relevant lease, including all renewal options,
is usually about forty years. If a lease is acquired from an exhibitor,
typically the lease is assigned to Clearview and still has a substantial term.
Most of Clearview's current leases have terms, including all renewal options, of
at least twenty years and provide for periodic rent increases. Only one theater
that is leased by the Company has a lease that expires in the next five years
and that theater is not material to the Company's business and future

MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Under the Company's current Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws,
members of the Board of Directors serve one-year terms and are elected by the

Directors will be divided into two groups, one group to be elected by the
holders of the Common Stock (the 'Common Directors') and the other group to be
elected by the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock (the 'Preferred
Directors'). Furthermore, under those organizational documents, the Common
Directors will be divided into three classes, with the classes as nearly equal
in the number of directors as possible, while the Preferred Directors will not.
At each annual meeting of stockholders, Common Directors will be elected for
three-year terms to succeed the Common Directors of the class whose terms are
expiring, while Preferred Directors will be elected for one-year terms. See

36
1997 INCENTIVE PLAN
The Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the '1997
Incentive Plan') is intended to assist the Company in attracting and retaining
highly competent key employees and consultants and to act as an incentive for
such individuals to achieve long-term Company objectives. The 1997 Incentive
Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors.
The 1997 Incentive Plan provides for awards of up to 500,000 shares of
Common Stock. The number of shares available for issuance under the 1997
Incentive Plan will be subject to adjustment for changes in Clearview's capital
structure or upon the occurrence of certain significant corporate events such as
mergers. All key employees and consultants of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries will be eligible to participate, including officers who are also
directors of the Company. No participant can receive awards under the 1997
Incentive Plan in any calendar year in respect of more than 150,000 shares of
Common Stock.
The 1997 Incentive Plan has no fixed expiration date. The Board of
Directors will establish expiration and exercise dates for awards under the 1997
Incentive Plan on an award-by-award basis. However, for the purpose of awarding
incentive stock options ('incentive stock options') under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the 'Code'), the 1997 Incentive Plan
will expire ten years from its effective date. In addition, certain provisions
of the 1997 Incentive Plan relating to 'performance-based' compensation under
Section 162(m) of the Code will expire five years from that effective date.
The Board of Directors may grant incentive stock options, options that do
not qualify as incentive stock options ('non-qualified stock options') or a
combination thereof. The terms and conditions of any stock options granted,
including the quantity, price, waiting periods and other conditions on exercise,
will be determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price for each stock
option will be determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion; provided,
that the exercise price per share for each stock option will be at least equal
to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date when that
stock option is granted.
Stock appreciation rights ('SARs') and limited SARs may be granted by the
Board of Directors either separately from or in tandem with non-qualified stock
options or incentive stock options. A SAR entitles its holder to receive, upon
its exercise, a payment equal to (i) the excess of the fair market value of a
share of Common Stock on its exercise date over the SAR exercise price, times
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is
exercised. Upon exercise of a SAR, payment will be made in cash, shares of
Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors may also award shares of Common Stock subject to
restrictions specified by the Board of Directors in its discretion ('Restricted
Shares'). Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture if their holder does not
meet certain conditions such as continued employment over a specified forfeiture
period (the 'Forfeiture Period') and/or the attainment of specified performance
targets over the Forfeiture Period. Any performance targets will be determined
by the Board of Directors and may, but need not, include specified levels of one
or more of operating income, earnings per share, return on investment, return on
stockholders' equity or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization.
The Board of Directors may grant performance awards upon such terms and
conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. A performance award
would entitle its recipient to receive a payment from the Company, the amount of
which is based upon the attainment of predetermined performance targets over a
specified award period. Performance awards may be paid in cash, shares of Common
Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board of Directors. Any
award periods will be established at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The performance targets will also be determined by the Board of Directors and
may, but need not, include specified levels of one or more of operating income,
earnings per share, return on investment, return on stockholders' equity or
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. When
circumstances occur which cause predetermined performance targets to be an
inappropriate measure of achievement, the Board of Directors, in its discretion,
may adjust the performance targets.
In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 1997 Incentive
Plan), all stock options and SARs will immediately become exercisable, the
restrictions on all Restricted Shares will immediately lapse and all performance
awards will immediately become payable.
37
Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will grant to the executive
officers of the Company and one consultant to the Company options for an
aggregate of 155,000 shares of Common Stock under the 1997 Incentive Plan. The
Board of Directors has determined to distribute those options as follows: Mr.
Mayo--an option to purchase 75,000 shares; Mr. Kay--an option to purchase 40,000
shares; Ms. Mayo--an option to purchase 20,000 shares; Ms. Romine--an option to
purchase 10,000 shares; and Mr. Marks--an option to purchase 10,000 shares.
Those options will (i) have an exercise price equal to the initial public
offering price (before underwriting discounts), (ii) provide for vesting on a
pro rata basis over a period of [four] years, subject to earlier vesting or
termination in certain circumstances, (iii) be exercisable for a period of ten
years, subject to earlier termination in certain circumstances, and (iv)
constitute incentive stock options to the maximum extent permitted under
applicable law and otherwise be non-statutory stock options.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
Pursuant to an Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Mayo
dated May 29, 1996 (the 'Employment Agreement'), Mr. Mayo has agreed to serve as
Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. As
compensation, Mr. Mayo is to receive an annual base salary of not less than
$120,000, plus an annual bonus equal to one percent of the Company's gross
revenues in excess of $7,000,000; provided, however, that such total
compensation may not exceed $750,000 in any one year. The initial term of the
Employment Agreement expires on May 29, 2003. Thereafter, the term of the
Employment Agreement will be automatically extended for successive one-year
periods ending on May 29, unless terminated by either party upon at least six
months' advance notice. The Employment Agreement also provides that, for a
period of three years after its termination, Mr. Mayo may not, directly or
indirectly, engage, have a financial interest in or become interested in any
other businesses similar to or in competition with the Company within a
fifty-mile radius of any theater owned or operated by the Company as of the date
of that termination.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange Agreement dated December 21, 1994,
the Company issued to A. Dale Mayo ('Mayo') and Brett E. Marks ('Marks') 687,500
and 250,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in exchange for (i) all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Clearview Theater Group, Inc., CCC
Madison Triple Cinema Corp., CCC Chester Twin Cinema Corporation and CCC
Manasquan Cinema Corporation (collectively, the 'Subsidiaries') and (ii)
promissory notes of certain Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount of
$250,000. The principal assets of the Subsidiaries were the leases for the movie
theaters in Bernardsville, Chester, Madison and Manasquan, New Jersey and the
related leasehold improvements and equipment. Concurrently with that
contribution, pursuant to an Investment and Stockholders Agreement dated
December 21, 1994, the Company sold 312,500 shares of Common Stock to CMNY for
an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 in cash.
Mayo had formed CCC Chester Twin Cinema Corporation in August, 1993 to be
the lessee of the Chester Twin Theater. In September, 1993, as part of the
consideration in the sale of Clearview Cinema Corp., Mayo acquired the capital
stock of Clearview Theater Group, Inc. The terms of that sale were negotiated at
arm's length between the owners of Clearview Cinema Corp. and the purchaser. In
February, 1994, Mayo sold to Marks 49% of the capital stock of CCC Madison
Triple Cinema Corp. and of CCC Chester Twin Cinema Corporation for $10,000 and
$5,000, respectively. Simultaneously, Marks loaned CCC Madison Triple Cinema
Corp. $125,000 and received a promissory note in exchange. In May, 1994, Mayo
formed CCC Manasquan Cinema Corporation to be the lessee of the Algonquin
Theater in Manasquan, New Jersey.
No third party was retained by Clearview, Mayo, Marks or CMNY to value the
interests being exchanged by Mayo and Marks for shares of Common Stock or to
determine the relationship between those values and the purchase price paid by
CMNY for its shares of Common Stock. The valuation to be placed on those
interests and that relationship was determined by the arm's length negotiations
between Mayo and Marks and a representative of CMNY. Under the Investment and
Stockholders Agreement, CMNY has the right to sell its shares of Common Stock to
the Company for a 30-day period commencing in 2002 at a price based upon a
formula set forth therein and, if CMNY does not exercise that right, the Company
has the right to purchase those shares of Common Stock from CMNY for the 90-day
period commencing after the expiration of that 30-day period at a price based
upon
38
the same formula. CMNY and Clearview have agreed to terminate those rights in
connection with the Offering. See 'The Concurrent Transactions.'
As of June 1, 1997, Marks and the Company entered into a consulting and
confidentiality agreement pursuant to which Marks as a consultant will assist
the Company in the identification of possible locations for the development of
theaters and of theaters that are potential acquisition candidates and provide
other services as requested by the Company. Marks is also an executive vice
president of First New York. To the extent, if any, that Marks identifies any
person who is interested in leasing a site to Clearview in his capacity as an
employee of First New York and Clearview determines to lease that site, First
New York could be entitled to a commission from that person and Marks would then
be entitled to a commission from First New York. In connection with the
Company's proposed acquisition of the leasehold of a theater in Brooklyn, New
York, First New York and Marks will be entitled to commissions of $66,000 and
$22,000, respectively, if the transaction is consummated. In addition, in
connection with the proposed acquisition of the UA Theaters, First New York and
Marks will be entitled to commissions of $259,500 and $86,500, if the
transaction is consummated. In order to formalize the relationships among the
parties, First New York, Marks and Clearview have entered into an agreement
dated as of May 23, 1997. In that agreement, First New York has acknowledged
that Marks, as a consultant to Clearview, will be engaged in activities that
might, under other circumstances, result in commissions being earned by First
New York and Marks, but that it will be within Clearview's sole discretion to
determine whether any such activity will result in commissions being payable to
them.
Robert G. Davidoff ('Davidoff'), a director of the Company, is a general
partner of CMNY and a managing director of CMCO, Inc. ('CMCO'). On August 31,
1995, CMNY, CMCO and Davidoff each purchased from the Company 8% Notes with the
principal amounts of $300,000, $50,000 and $50,000, respectively. Each of these
8% Notes matures on August 31, 1997, which term is to be amended in connection
with the Put/Call Termination to October 31, 1997. In connection with the sale
of these 8% Notes, the Company issued each purchaser two A/B Warrants to
purchase in the aggregate 93,750 shares, 15,625 shares and 15,625 shares of
Common Stock, respectively. See 'The Concurrent Transactions' and 'Description
of Capital Stock--Warrants.'
On October 11, 1995, Davidoff and CMCO each purchased an additional 8% Note
with a principal amount of $50,000 each. Each of these 8% Notes matures on
October 11, 1997, which term is to be amended in connection with the Put/Call
Termination to October 31, 1997. In connection with the sale of these 8% Notes,
the Company issued each purchaser two A/B Warrants to purchase in the aggregate
15,625 shares and 15,625 shares of Common Stock, respectively. See 'The
Concurrent Transactions' and 'Description of Capital Stock--Warrants.'
On December 13, 1996, Davidoff and CMCO each purchased an additional 8%
Note with a principal amount of $300,000 each. Each of these 8% Notes matures on
December 13, 1998. In connection with the sale of these 8% Notes, the Company
issued each purchaser two A/B Warrants to purchase in the aggregate 46,875
shares and 46,875 shares of Common Stock, respectively. See 'Description of
Capital Stock--Warrants'
If the Company does not pay the 8% Notes that are due on August 31, 1997
and October 31, 1997 (or, after their amendment, October 31, 1997), the Company
will extend the term of those 8% Notes an additional five years. If that occurs,
the Company must issue to each holder of one of those 8% Notes a warrant with
terms substantially similar to the A/B Warrants. Each of those holders would
receive warrants exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock set forth
below:
AUGUST 31, 1995 8% NOTES OCTOBER 11, 1995 8% NOTES
------------------------ -------------------------
CMNY 93,750 --
CMCO 15,625 15,625
Davidoff 15,625 15,625
If the Company pays the 8% Notes that are due on December 13, 1998 by
December 13, 1997, then one of the A/B Warrants owned by each of Davidoff and
CMCO exercisable for 23,437.50 shares of Common Stock each will terminate. If
the Company does not pay those 8% Notes on December 13, 1998 and, instead
extends their term, the Company will have an obligation to issue new warrants to
Davidoff and CMCO exercisable for 46,875 shares of Common Stock each, which is
similar to the obligation described in the preceding paragraph.
39
The Company intends to pay all of the 8% Notes in 1997 from borrowings
under the New Credit Facility.
The terms of the 8% Notes and the A/B Warrants were negotiated at arm's
length by Davidoff, a representative of CMNY and CMCO, and the Company. In
connection with the consummation of the Offering, the Company, CMNY, CMCO and
Davidoff have agreed to exchange 162.5 of the A/B Warrants for an aggregate of
137,500 shares of Common Stock. See 'The Concurrent Transactions.'
Wayne L. Clevenger and Denis Newman, each of whom is a director of the
Company, are managing directors of MidMark Associates, Inc., which is the
general partner of MidMark. MidMark has acquired from the Company a total of 779
shares of Class A Preferred Stock and two Class A Warrants to purchase a total
of 588,750 shares of Common Stock. See 'The Concurrent Transactions,'
'Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock--Class A Preferred Stock' and
'--Warrants--Class A Warrants.' Pursuant to the two Preferred Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreements under which MidMark acquired its shares of Class A Preferred
Stock and Class A Warrants, MidMark has the right exercisable on or after June
1, 2001 to sell to the Company all of those shares or the shares of Common Stock
into which they have been converted at a purchase price determined in accordance
with a formula set forth in those agreements that is based on the Company's
gross revenues or six times the Company's combined income for its theater
operations (excluding general and administrative expenses, interest and taxes,
but including depreciation and amortization). In connection with the Offering,
MidMark has agreed to terminate this right. See 'The Concurrent Transactions'
and 'Shares Eligible for Future Sale.' If the Company issues additional warrants
in connection with the extension of the maturity of any 8% Notes, the Company
would be obligated under the agreements with MidMark to issue additional shares
of Class A Preferred Stock and Class A Warrants for no additional payment.
Pursuant to a Management Consulting Agreement by and between MidMark
Associates, Inc. ('MidMark Associates') and the Company dated May 23, 1997 (the
'Consulting Agreement'), MidMark Associates will provide the Company with
business and organizational strategy and financial and investment management
advice for a fee equal to $60,000 per year. The Consulting Agreement terminates
on ___________, _____________ unless renewed.
Pursuant to an agreement by and among the Company, Roxbury Cinema, Inc.
(which owns the Cinema Ten Succasunna Theater), F&N Cinema, Inc. (which owns the
Parsipanny Twelve Theater), and John Nelson, Seth Ferman and Pamela Ferman, the
Company purchased a right of first refusal from each of those persons for
$200,000 with respect to those two theaters. The right must be exercised, if at
all, within a short period after any of the above persons delivers to Clearview
a notice of his, her or its desire to transfer any rights in these theaters. The
right of first refusal will expire on May 29, 1999 if not previously exercised.
In accordance with the agreement pursuant to which Clearview consummated
the acquisition of the leaseholds of four theaters in May, 1996, Mr. Nelson, Mr.
Ferman and Ms. Ferman entered into a Non-Competition Agreement with the Company,
in which they agreed not to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage or become
interested in the operation of any movie theater within a seven and one-half
mile radius of any of those theaters or (ii) disclose to anyone, or use in
competition with the Company, any information with respect to any confidential
or secret aspect of the operations of those theaters.
On June 30, 1997, Clearview reacquired the Provident Warrants from
Provident for $1.0 million (or $ per share), plus the lesser of $300,000
(or $ per share) or the product of (x) 186,250 and (y) the difference
between the initial public offering price in the Offering and $ per share.
Under the terms of the Provident Warrants, Provident had the right to sell
Provident Warrants exercisable for 186,250 shares of Common Stock to the Company
immediately following the consummation of the Offering for an amount based on
the highest of (i) the initial public offering price, (ii) an appraised value
per share for the Common Stock or (iii) a value per share calculated based on
the Company's cash flow. Following that transaction, Provident Warrants
exercisable for 10,000 shares would have remained outstanding.
At that time, Clearview and Provident amended the Current Facility to
provide a term loan to Clearview of $1.3 million, of which $1.0 million was used
to pay the initial purchase price for the Provident Warrants and $300,000 was to
be used to pay some of the costs already incurred or to be incurred by the
Company in connection with the Offering. This new term loan does not begin to
accrue interest until September 29, 1997 and has an interest rate equal to
Provident's prime rate. If the Offering is consummated, the Company is obligated
to
40
pay this term loan within 90 days thereafter. Provident and Clearview also
modified the Current Facility in other ways in connection with the Offering, the
most significant of which was to provide that, if the Offering is consummated
and the acquisition of the UA Theaters is consummated within 90 days thereof,
Clearview's obligation to prepay all the term loans under the Current Facility
with the net proceeds of the Offering will be permanently waived.
All of these transactions were negotiated at arm's length among the various
parties thereto and the Company believes that all of these transactions have
terms that would be appropriate in a transaction between unaffiliated parties
and that are fair to the Company as a whole. Following consummation of the
Offering, Clearview plans to have any transaction with an affiliated party
reviewed and approved by the directors of the Company who have no relationship
with that party or that transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a description of the material provisions of the New
Certificate, the New By-laws, the A/B Warrants and the Class A Warrants but does
not purport to be complete. Copies of the New Certificate, the New By-laws, the
A/B Warrants and the Class A Warrants have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, the authorized
capital stock of the Company will consist of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock
and 2,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock
and the Class A Preferred Stock and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets of the Company
available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company,
subject to the prior rights of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. Holders of
shares of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or
conversion rights. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of
Common Stock offered in the Offering will be, when issued and paid for, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of
holders of shares of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of shares of the Class A Preferred Stock or any
other series of Preferred Stock the Company may designate and issue in the
future.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the
stockholders, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to
fix the number of shares, designations, voting powers, preferences, optional and
other special rights and the restrictions or qualifications thereof, subject to
the rights of the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock discussed below. The
rights, preferences, privileges and powers of each series of Preferred Stock may
differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting
rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and
other matters. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock could decrease the
amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of
Common Stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting
rights, of holders of shares of Common Stock. The existence of authorized and
undesignated shares of Preferred Stock may also have a depressive effect on the
market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the issuance of any shares of
Preferred Stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change of control of the Company by a third party. Upon consummation of the
Offering, no shares of Preferred Stock other than the Class A Preferred Stock
will be outstanding, and the Company has no current intention to issue any
additional shares of Preferred Stock.
CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK
The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
preferential dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, in a per
share amount equal to the product of the dividend payable per share of Common
Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class A
Preferred Stock is then convertible. So long as any shares of Class A Preferred
Stock are outstanding, unless all dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock have
been paid, no dividend or other distribution may be paid or made on the Common
Stock or any other capital stock of the Company ranking junior as to dividends
to the Class A Preferred Stock and no such capital stock may be acquired by the
Company, other than by means of a distribution or exchange of capital stock of
the Company ranking junior to the Class A Preferred Stock.
In the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company or any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per
share equal to the Liquidation Value (as defined below) plus all declared but
unpaid dividends per share on the Class A Preferred Stock, prior to any
distribution to holders of the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the
Company ranking junior upon liquidation or dissolution to the Class A Preferred
Stock. Liquidation Value
43
is equal to $2,558.85 per share, subject to adjustment upon any changes in the
Class A Preferred Stock by means of dividends of shares of Class A Preferred
Stock or subdivisions or combinations of the Class A Preferred Stock.
Generally, the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will vote with the
holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders of the Company other than the election of members of the Board of
Directors for so long as those holders vote separately for Preferred Directors.
The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will vote separately as a class for
two Preferred Directors so long as the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred
Stock represent more than ___% of the combined voting power of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company or for one Preferred Director so long as the
outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock represent at least ___% and no
less than ___% of the combined voting power of the outstanding capital stock of
the Company. The holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will vote separately as
a class with respect to any proposed amendment to the New Certificate that would
affect their rights as such holders adversely and with respect to any proposed
issuance of capital stock of the Company ranking senior to the Class A Preferred
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation or dissolution. The holders of the
Class A Preferred Stock will also vote separately as a class with respect to any
proposed issuance of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock)
ranking pari passu to the Class A Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation or dissolution so long as the outstanding shares of Class A
Preferred Stock represent more than ___% of the combined voting power of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company.
The shares of Class A Preferred Stock are convertible at any time at the
option of the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio
of 1250 as of the consummation of the Offering which is equal to the Liquidation
Value divided by the Conversion Price of $2.047 as of the consummation of the
Offering. Upon the occurrence of any Qualifying Liquidity Event, the shares of
Class A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock.
A Qualifying Liquidity Event includes a bona fide unconditional offer to
purchase those shares at a price equal to the product of the conversion ratio
and four times the then-current Conversion Price from the Company, a third party
or an underwriter or the ability to sell the shares of Common Stock into which
such shares of Class A Preferred Stock are convertible on the open market so
long as certain trading price and liquidity conditions are met. The Conversion
Price is subject to adjustment if the Company pays a dividend in shares of the
Common Stock, subdivides or combines the Common Stock, reclassifies the Common
Stock or issues or is deemed to have issued shares of Common Stock for a
consideration per share less than the then-current Conversion Price.
WARRANTS
The Company has outstanding the following warrants to acquire shares of
Common Stock as of the date of this Prospectus.
SECURITIES ISSUABLE NUMBER ISSUABLE
TITLE OR SERIES EXPIRATION DATE EXERCISE PRICE UPON EXERCISE UPON EXERCISE
- ---------------------------------- ------------------ --------------- -------------------- ---------------
A/B Warrant....................... August 31, 2000 $1.60/share Common Stock 62,500
A/B Warrant....................... August 31, 2001 $1.60/share Common Stock 62,500

Class A Warrants.................. June 1, 2006 $.01/share Common Stock 588,750
A/B WARRANTS
All of the A/B Warrants are currently exercisable through their respective
expiration dates except for two A/B Warrants issued on December 13, 1996 which
will be cancelled if the Company pays the 8% Notes issued on that day in full no
later than December 13, 1997. The exercise price of the A/B Warrants and the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the A/B Warrants are
subject to adjustment for subdivisions of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
or dividends in stock on the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
44
CLASS A WARRANTS
The Class A Warrants are not exercisable until June 1, 2001 unless, prior
to that date, the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets,
liquidates, dissolves or winds up or merges or consolidates with another
corporation in a transaction immediately after which persons who held voting
securities of the Company having more than 50% of the combined voting power of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company do not hold voting securities
of the surviving corporation having more than 50% of the combined voting power
of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving corporation or a majority
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are acquired by a single person or
group of affiliated persons. The number of shares of Common Stock for which the
Class A Warrants are exercisable will be subject to reduction if any of the
events described in the preceding sentence occur or if there is an underwritten
public offering of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or if the Common Stock is listed on a
national securities exchange or registered as a class under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act'), and the Fair Market Value
(as defined below) of the Common Stock is greater than the Floor Price (at the
time of the closing of the Offering this will be equal to $5.46 per share). Fair
Market Value for purposes of any of such transactions is equal to the
consideration paid or payable to the holders of the Common Stock assuming the
exercise of all warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and the conversion
of all securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (other than the Class
A Warrants). Fair Market Value for purposes of a public offering or any listing
or registration of the Common Stock is based on the average closing prices or
last bid prices for the Common Stock for any 120-day trading period following
the closing of such offering or listing or registration, so long as the closing
price or bid price on each day in that period exceeds the Floor Price. The
reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of
the Class A Warrants is based upon a formula and, if the Fair Market Value is
high enough, could result in the Class A Warrants not being exercisable for any
shares. The Floor Price and the number of shares of Common Stock that the Class
A Warrants are exercisable for are also subject to adjustment for subdivisions
or combinations of the Common Stock, the issuance of shares of Common Stock as a
dividend and certain capital reorganizations and reclassifications, mergers and
consolidations.
PROVISIONS OF THE NEW CERTIFICATE AND THE NEW BY-LAWS
The New Certificate and the New By-laws contain a number of provisions
relating to corporate governance and the rights of stockholders. Certain of
these provisions may be deemed to have a potential 'anti-takeover' effect
insofar as such provisions may delay, defer or prevent a change of control of
the Company, including, but not limited, to the following provisions:
The New Certificate provides that the holders of the Common Stock may only
take action at a duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company and may
not act by written consent.
The New By-laws contain certain notification requirements relating to
nominations to the Board of Directors and to the raising of business matters at
stockholder meetings. Such requirements provide that a notice of proposed
stockholder business must be timely given in writing to the Secretary of the
Company prior to the appropriate meeting. To be timely, notice relating to an
annual meeting must be given not less than 60, nor more than 90, days in advance
of such meeting; provided, that if the date of the annual meeting is changed by
more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the prior annual meeting, written
notice must be given no later than the fifth day after the first public
disclosure of the date of the meeting. The New By-laws provide that special
meetings of stockholders may be called only by certain officers of the Company
or the Board of Directors.
The New Certificate contains certain provisions permitted under the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the 'DCL') regarding the liability of
directors. These provisions eliminate the personal liability of a director to
the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director other than for any breach of that director's duty of loyalty,
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit or for an unlawful payment of dividends or
redemption of stock. Those provisions do not affect the availability of
equitable remedies such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction
involving a breach of fiduciary duty. The New By-laws provide that the Company
will indemnify its directors and officers, and may indemnify any authorized
representative of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the DCL. The
45
Company believes that such provisions will assist the Company in attracting and
retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.
The New By-laws provide that the number of directors constituting the
entire Board of Directors will be established by the Board of Directors except
as otherwise provided in the New Certificate, but will consist of not less than
three Common Directors. Common Directors may be removed by the holders of the
Common Stock only for cause and new Common Directors may be elected
simultaneously with such removal. The New By-laws further provide that any
amendment of the New By-laws to permit the removal of Common Directors without
cause by the holders of the Common Stock will not apply to any incumbent
director for the balance of his or her term.
The New Certificate provides that the Common Directors will be divided into
three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Each class will consist, as
nearly as possible, of one-third of the whole number of Common Directors. The
classification of the Common Directors and the separate voting for the Preferred
Directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change
the composition of the Board of Directors in a relatively short period of time.
At least three annual meetings of stockholders will generally be required to
effect a change in a majority of the Board of Directors.
The New By-laws may be amended by a majority of the Board of Directors,
subject to the right of the stockholders to amend the New By-laws by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock voting as a single class. The New
Certificate may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock voting as
a single class, except that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds of such shares is required to amend certain provisions, including the
provisions establishing a classified board and prohibiting action by written
consent.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is The Bank of New
York.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon completion of the Offering, ________ shares of Common Stock will be
outstanding (_______ shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full).
Of these shares, the _________ shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering
(___________ shares if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be
freely tradeable under the Securities Act, except that any shares of Common
Stock purchased by affiliates of the Company ('Affiliates'), as that term is
defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act ('Rule 144'), may generally be sold
only in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 described below. The
remaining 1,997,500 shares of Common Stock (the 'Restricted Shares') held by
existing stockholders were sold by the Company in reliance on exemptions from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and may be restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning after the
effective date of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
a stockholder, including an Affiliate, who has beneficially owned his or her
Restricted Shares for at least one year from the date those Restricted Shares
were acquired from the Company or an Affiliate, is entitled to sell, within any
three-month period, a number of such shares that does not exceed certain volume
restrictions; provided, that certain requirements concerning availability of
public information, manner of sale and notice of sale are satisfied. In
addition, under Rule 144(k), if a period of at least two years has elapsed from
the date any Restricted Shares were acquired from the Company or an Affiliate, a
stockholder that is not an Affiliate at the time of sale and has not been an
Affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale is entitled to sell those
shares without compliance with the above-referenced requirements of Rule 144. An
Affiliate must comply with the volume restrictions and the other requirements
referred to above whenever that Affiliate sells any securities of the Company.
Following consummation of the Offering, the Company intends to register on
Form S-8 under the Securities Act 500,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the 1997 Incentive Plan. Shares registered on
46
Form S-8 will be available for resale in the open market subject to the
limitations applicable to Affiliates as provided in Rule 144.
The Company and its existing stockholders have agreed that they will not,
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Representative,
for a period of one year after the date of this Prospectus sell, contract to
sell, pledge, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise transfer or dispose
of, or cause the transfer or disposition of, any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of
Common Stock or exercise any registration rights with respect to any shares of
Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for any shares of Common Stock. The Representative may, in its sole discretion
and at any time without notice, release all or a portion of the shares subject
to such restrictions therefrom, although it has no present intention of doing
so. See 'Underwriting.'
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales
of shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Shares, or the availability of
shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Shares, for future sale, will have
on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of a
substantial number of Restricted Shares in the public market following the
Offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect
prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's
ability to raise capital through an offering of its equity securities.
Under a registration rights agreement that will be effective following
consummation of the Offering, Mayo, CMNY and MidMark will each have the right to
have the Company prepare and file up to two registrations statements for him or
it at any time after the first anniversary of the consummation of the Offering,
subject to certain conditions. In addition those stockholders and the other
stockholders who are parties to that agreement will have unlimited piggyback
registration rights so long as they are not eligible to sell shares of Common
Stock in accordance with Rule 144(k) and subject to customary 'cutback'
provisions. This agreement contains customary provisions relating to the
expenses of any such registration and the rights to indemnification among the
parties and the Company.
UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting
Agreement, the form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part (the 'Underwriting Agreement'),
the Underwriters named below, acting through Prime Charter Ltd. as the
Representative, have severally agreed to purchase from the Company, and the
Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, an aggregate of __ shares of
Common Stock. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters'
obligations to pay for and accept delivery of those shares of Common Stock are
subject to certain conditions precedent, and that the Underwriters are committed
to purchase all of those shares of Common Stock if any shares are purchased.
Under certain circumstances, the commitments of non-defaulting Underwriters may
be increased as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

The Underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby to the public at the offering price set forth on the front cover
page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession
not in excess of $________ per share. The Underwriters may allow, and such
dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $____________ per share to
certain other dealers. After the Offering, the public offering price, concession
and reallowance may be changed by the Underwriters.
47
The Company has agreed to pay to the Representative on behalf of the
Underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2 1/2% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering, $100,000 of which has already been paid by the Company
to cover some of the underwriting costs and due diligence expenses related to
the Offering.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable during
the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
____________ additional shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering
price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions and a pro-rata portion of
the non-accountable expense allowance. The Underwriters may exercise this option
solely to cover over-allotments, if any, made in the sale of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby. To the extent that this option is exercised, each
Underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage of such additional shares of Common Stock as
the percentage of shares of Common Stock it was originally obligated to purchase
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
At the request of the Company, the Underwriters have reserved up to
_________ shares of Common Stock for sale at the initial offering price to
certain directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The number of shares of Common Stock available to the general
public will be reduced to the extent that those persons purchase reserved
shares. Any reserved shares that are not so purchased by those persons at the
closing of the Offering will be offered by the Underwriters to the general
public on the same terms as the other shares offered by this Prospectus.
The Company has agreed to sell to the Representative or its designees, for
nominal consideration, the Underwriter Warrants to purchase an aggregate of
________ shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock subject to the
Underwriter Warrants will be in all respects identical to the shares of Common
Stock offered to the public hereby. The Underwriter Warrants will be exercisable
for a four-year period commencing one year after the effective date of the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part at a per share
exercise price equal to 120% of the initial offering price. During the period
beginning one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement and
ending five years after such effective date, the Company has agreed at its
expense to register under the Securities Act the shares of Common Stock issued
or issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter Warrants and, for the period
beginning one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement and
ending seven years after such effective date, to include such shares of Common
Stock in any appropriate registration statement which is filed by the Company.
The Underwriter Warrants will contain anti-dilution provisions providing for
appropriate adjustment of the exercise price and number of shares that may be
purchased upon the occurrence of certain events. The Underwriter Warrants may be
exercised by paying the exercise price in cash, through the surrender of shares
of Common Stock, through a reduction in the number of shares covered thereby, or
by using a combination of such methods.
The Company and its existing stockholders have agreed that they will not,
directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Representative,
for a period of one year after the date of this Prospectus sell, offer to sell,
solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option for the sale
of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of or cause the transfer or disposition of,
any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any shares of Common Stock or exercise any registration rights
with respect to any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock. See 'Shares Eligible
for Future Sale.'
The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the ASE, subject to
official notice of issuance.
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. Accordingly, the initial public offering price for the shares of Common
Stock offered hereby will be determined by negotiation between the Company and
the Representative. In determining that price, consideration will be given to
various factors, including market conditions for initial public offerings, the
history of and prospects for the Company's business, the Company's past and
present operations, its past and present earnings and current financial
position, an assessment of the Company's management, the market for securities
of companies in businesses similar to those of the Company, the general
condition of the securities markets and other relevant factors. There can be no
assurances, however, that the initial public offering price will correspond to
the prices at which the Common
48
Stock will trade in the public market subsequent to the Offering or that an
active trading market for the Common Stock will develop and continue after the
Offering.

legal matters relating to the Offering will be passed upon for the Company by

Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Clearview
Cinema Group, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

CLEARVIEW CINEMA GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Information after February 10, 1997 is unaudited)
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. ('Clearview') and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as 'the Company'). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of the Business--The Company is a regional motion picture exhibitor
that operates in-town multiplex theaters primarily located in affluent suburban
communities in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. The Company's theaters
show a mix of first-run commercial, art and family-oriented films that is
designed to appeal primarily to sophisticated moviegoers and families with
younger children.
The Company has a limited operating history. Its future success is
dependent upon, among other things, its ability to secure favorable leases,
develop new theaters, obtain significant financing, and continue the employment
of its Chief Executive Officer. See 'Risk Factors' elsewhere in this Prospectus
concerning these and other risks.
Revenues and Film Rental Costs--The Company recognizes revenues from box
office admissions and concession sales at the time of sale. Film rental costs
are based on a film's box office receipts and length of a film's run.
Seasonality--The Company's business is seasonal with a substantial portion
of its revenues and profits being derived during the summer months (June through
August) and the holiday season (November and December).
Estimates and Uncertainties--The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date,
could differ from those estimates.
Inventories--Inventories consist of concession products and are stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment--Property and equipment are stated at cost. Acquired
assets are included based on an allocation of their respective aggregate
purchase prices (see Note 7). Buildings and improvements, theater equipment and
office furniture and equipment are depreciated using straight line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. In general,
the estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and amortization are:
buildings and improvements--39 years; theater equipment--5 to 7 years; office
furniture and equipment--5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized
using the straight-line method over the term of the respective lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is less. Leaseholds are amortized
using the straight-line method over the term of the respective leases.
Intangible Assets--Intangible assets consist of cost in excess of fair
value of businesses acquired (goodwill), organization costs, covenant not
compete, and debt issuance costs. Costs are amortized on a straight line basis
over the following lives: goodwill--15 years, organization costs--5 years and
covenant not to compete--3 years.
Costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized. Debt issuance costs
and debt discounts are amortized over the term of the related debt.
Deferred Offering Costs--Offering costs have been deferred, pending the
outcome of the offering contemplated herein. If the offering is successful,
these costs will be charged against additional paid-in capital; otherwise, they
will be charged to expense.
Rent Expense--Certain of the Company's theaters have operating leases that
contain predetermined increases in the rentals payable during the terms of such
leases. For these leases, the aggregate rental expense over the lease term is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The differences between
the expense charged to operations and amounts payable under such leases are
recorded annually as deferred rent expense, which will ultimately reverse over
the lease term.

CLEARVIEW CINEMA GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(Information after February 10, 1997 is unaudited)
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES:--(CONTINUED)
Additional rent is paid for common area maintenance and may also be charged
based on a percentage of net revenue in excess of a predetermined amount.
Financial Instruments--Financial instruments include cash, other assets,
subordinated notes and accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt.
The amounts reported for financial instruments are considered to be reasonable
approximations of their fair values, based on market information concerning
financial instruments with similar characteristics available to management. The
use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk--The Company maintains its cash balances in
several financial institutions in accounts which are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $100,000 each. At December 31, 1996, the
Company had uninsured balances totaling approximately $763,000.
Income Taxes--Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for
temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amounts expected to be realized.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share--Net income (loss) per common share is
based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. However,
common shares, preferred shares and warrants issued after December 31, 1995 have
been treated as outstanding for all reported periods due to their per share
prices being significantly less than the price of the shares in the offering
contemplated herein.
Had the offering contemplated in this Prospectus been consummated as of
January 1, 1997 and a portion of its proceeds used to retire the $600,000
subordinated note payable (see Note 5), earnings per share for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 would remain unchanged.
Interim Reporting--The interim financial statements included herein reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments
consist solely of normal recurring accruals. Results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements--Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
('SFAS') No. 121, 'Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of', requires that certain long-lived assets be
reviewed for possible impairment and written down to fair value, if appropriate.
The Company adopted this pronouncement in 1996 and adoption did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 123, 'Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation', requires companies
to measure employee stock compensation plans based on a fair value method of
accounting. However, the statement allows the alternative of continued use of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, 'Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees', with pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share
determined as if the fair value based method had been applied in measuring
compensation cost. The Company adopted the pro forma disclosure provisions of
this new pronouncement in 1996 and such adoption did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial statements.
SFAS No. 128, 'Earnings per Share', was issued in February 1997, and is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997. SFAS 128 requires that earnings per share be presented more in line with
earnings per share standards of other countries. The Company expects to adopt
SFAS 128 for the year ending December 31, 1997. The Company has not yet
determined the effect of adoption of this new pronouncement on its financial
statements.

The notes payable to the bank are collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the related credit agreement contains various
restrictive covenants, including maintenance of specified levels of net worth
and debt coverage ratios.
Refinancing--In January 1997, seller-financing of $4,400,000 was paid with
$100,000 from the Company's operating cash and the proceeds from a $4,300,000
bank term note, issued under the Company's credit agreement with its principal
lender. The bank term note bears interest at 2% above the bank's prime rate
(payable monthly), with quarterly principal payments, commencing in July 1997
and ending October 2001, with a balloon payment of $1,225,000 due in December
2001. Accordingly, the note payable at December 31, 1996 has been classified in
accordance with the terms of this new bank term note.
Under a second amendment to this credit agreement with its principal
lender, the Company has additional borrowing availability of $1,250,000, of
which $625,000 was drawn in March 1997.
In accordance with this credit agreement, the Company maintains a
$10,000,000 key-man life insurance policy on its President and Chief Executive

NOTE 6--INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The principal temporary difference
arises from the net operating loss carryforwards and results in a non-current
deferred tax asset of approximately $175,000 at December 31, 1996 and $85,000 at
December 31, 1995.
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has
determined, based on its recurring net losses since inception, that a full
valuation allowance is appropriate at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
A reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes computed at
the federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective tax rate of income (loss)
before income taxes is as follows:

The Company has available at December 31, 1996 net operating loss
carryforwards totaling approximately $454,000 that may be applied against future
consolidated federal taxable income and the future state taxable income of the
respective subsidiary companies. The loss carryforwards will expire through
2011.
Current tax law limits the use of net operating loss carryforwards after
there has been a substantial change in ownership (as defined) during a
three-year period. Because of the possible future changes in common stock
ownership, the use of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards may be
subject to an annual limitation. To the extent amounts available under the
annual limitation are not used, they may be carried forward for the remainder of
15 years from the year the losses were originally incurred.
NOTE 7--THEATER ACQUISITIONS:
During 1996, the Company acquired the leaseholds of seven theaters and two
theaters and the underlying real estate, all located in New Jersey and New York.
The acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price for each
transaction has been allocated at fair value to the separately identifiable
assets (principally property, equipment and leaseholds) of the respective
theater locations with the remaining balance allocated to goodwill. Also, the

$5,000,000 in cash and the issuance of 433,750 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, valued at $2,000,000. The total cost was allocated as follows:

December 1996--The Company purchased two theaters and the underlying real
estate and the leasehold of another theater in New Jersey in December 1996. The
total cost of $5,000,000 was paid with a $4,400,000 secured note and $600,000
subordinated note (see Note 5). The purchase price was allocated as follows:
$400,000--land, $1,300,000--buildings and leasehold improvements,
$832,000--theater equipment, $848,000--leasehold interests and
$1,620,000--goodwill.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1996 assume all
of the Company's acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 1995 after giving effect
to certain adjustments, including depreciation and increased interest expense on
acquisition debt. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative
purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations which
would actually have occurred had the combinations been in effect on the dates
indicated, or which may occur in the future.

NOTE 8--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Stock Split--In May 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 1,250 to 1
stock split which has been retroactively reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Preferred Stock--The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the
issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is
authorized to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more
series and to establish and designate any such series and to fix the number of
shares and the relative conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption
and liquidation.
During May and July 1996, the Company sold a total of 779 shares of Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock and preferred warrants for $2,500,000. The warrants,
which expire in June 2006, entitle the holder to purchase up to 471 shares of
Class A Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price defined in the
warrants.
The holders of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive preferential dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors.
So long as any shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding,
unless all dividends on the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid,
no dividend or other distribution may be paid or made on the Common Stock or any
other capital stock of the Company ranking junior as to dividends to the Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of any sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company or any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, the holders of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive an amount per share equal to a Liquidation Value (as
defined) plus all declared but unpaid dividends per share on the Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock, prior to

CLEARVIEW CINEMA GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 8--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:--(CONTINUED)
any distribution to holders of the Common Stock or any other capital stock of
the Company ranking junior upon liquidation or dissolution to the Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock
are convertible at any time at the option of the holders thereof into shares of
Common Stock at a conversion ratio of 1,250 to 1 as of the consummation of the
offering contemplated herein. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the shares
of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of
common stock.
The preferred warrants are not exercisable until June 1, 2001 unless, prior
to that date, the Company sells all or substantially all of its assets,
liquidates, dissolves or winds up or merges or consolidates with another
corporation in a transaction in which certain voting rights are not maintained
by the holders of the Company's voting stock. The number of shares of Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock for which the preferred warrants are exercisable
will be subject to reduction upon the occurrence of certain events. See 'The
Concurrent Transactions' and 'Description of Capital Stock' included elsewhere
in this Prospectus for additional information.
Redemption Rights--A certain common stockholder has the right to sell its
shares of Common Stock to the Company for a 30-day period commencing in 2002 at
a redemption price based upon a formula. If such stockholder does not exercise
that right, the Company has the right to purchase those shares of Common Stock
from such stockholder for the 90-day period commencing after the expiration of
that 30-day period at a price based upon the same formula. Those rights
terminate upon the occurrence of certain events. Such stockholder and the
Company have agreed to terminate those rights in connection with the offering
contemplated herein.
The holder of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock has the right,
exercisable on or after June 1, 2001, to sell to the Company all of those shares
or the shares of Common Stock into which they have been converted at a
redemption price determined in accordance with a specified formula. In
connection with the offering contemplated in this Prospectus, such holder has
agreed to terminate this right.
The Company reports this redeemable stock at the current redemption value
separately between liabilities and stockholders' equity, since redemption is
outside of the Company's control. A corresponding reduction is made to
stockholders' equity, as the equivalent of treasury stock. The per share
redemption value of the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is based on the
greater of gross revenues (as defined) or six times theater operating income
before general and administrative expenses, interest and taxes for the preceding
twelve months divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issued and, as if
converted or exercised, all convertible securities, options, warrants and
similar instruments. The redemption value of the Common Stock is based on book
value per share computed on a fully diluted basis.
As described above, the Company and the respective stockholders have agreed
to terminate their redemption rights in connection with the offering
contemplated in this Prospectus. See 'The Concurrent Transactions' included
elsewhere in this Prospectus for additional information.
Other Warrants--In connection with the bank financing as described in Note
5 and pursuant to a May 1996 warrant agreement (amended in December 1996), the
Company issued seven-year warrants in May and December 1996 to its principal
lender to purchase 91,250 and 105,000 shares of the Common Stock, respectively,
at an exercise price of $.01 per share. The warrants issued in connection with
the bank financing and the related debt discount have been recorded based upon
their estimated fair values.
NOTE 9--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Theater Leases--Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have entered into
lease arrangements for their respective theater facilities. The following is a
schedule of future minimum rental payments required for all

Rent expense for theater operating leases in 1996 and 1995 was
approximately $802,000 and $290,000, respectively.
In addition, the Company leases its administrative facilities under a
lease, expiring in February 1998, which requires minimum annual payments of
$22,200.
Lease, Project Acquisition Costs and Escrow Deposits--During September
1995, the Company entered into an option agreement providing for the lease of
three New York theater locations with the option to purchase certain assets
relating to the three theaters. In consideration of the option granted by the
agreement, the Company made an initial $200,000 payment which was financed by
the potential seller. The option to purchase the assets for $1,500,000 is
initially exercisable in September 1997. Until then, the Company is required to
make two annual payments of at least $150,000, which it considers to be the
equivalent of interest expense. An annual payment of $186,402 was made in 1996.
If the Company does not exercise the option in 1997, it will be required to make
three additional annual payments of at least $150,000 through the second
exercisable date of September 2000. However, if, at the first exercisable date,
revenues generated from the three theaters do not reach levels specified by the
agreement, the Company has the right to terminate the agreement and would no
longer be obligated for any remaining payments. The agreement also requires the
Company to maintain an escrow deposit, which totaled approximately $294,000 at
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997. Capitalized costs related to this project
were approximately $274,000 at December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997 and are
included in project acquisition costs. It is the Company's present intention to
ultimately exercise this option.
The Company has also incurred certain costs associated with the development
of an additional theater location, principally architect, legal and engineering
fees. At December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, these project costs amounted to
approximately $160,000 and $140,000, respectively.
Employment Agreement--The Company is obligated through May 2003 to pay its
President and Chief Executive Officer an annual base salary of $120,000, plus an
additional amount based on gross revenue, such total not to exceed $750,000.
Consulting Agreement--The Company has entered a consulting agreement with
an affiliate of a stockholder, wherein for certain management services, the
Company will pay $50,000 per year through May 1998, then at the rate of 50% of
the Chief Executive Officer's base salary through May 2003 or until the
shareholder should sell its shares.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Clearview Cinema Group, Inc.
We have audited the combined statements of income of the Nelson Ferman Theaters
at Emerson, New City, Allwood and Washington Township, movie theaters formerly
owned by affiliates of Nelson Ferman, Inc., for the period of January 1, 1996
through May 29, 1996 (date of sale) and the year ended December 31, 1995. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the
Nelson Ferman Theaters. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, combined financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the results of operations of Nelson Ferman Theaters at
Emerson, New City, Allwood and Washington Township, for the periods then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NELSON FERMAN THEATERS AT EMERSON, NEW CITY,
ALLWOOD AND WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP
NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Combination and Nature of the Business--The combined
financial statements include the accounts of four theater affiliates of Nelson
Ferman, Inc. ('Nelson Ferman'): Emerson ('Emerson'), New City ('New City'),
Allwood ('Allwood') and Washington Township ('Washington'), collectively, the
'NF Theater Group'. Until May 29, 1996, these theaters were part of an
independent theater circuit with locations in New Jersey and New York. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
combination.
The NF Theater Group operated multi-screen first run theaters in New Jersey
and New York.
Revenue Recognition--The NF Theater Group recognizes revenue from ticket
sales at the time of sale. Concessions sales are recognized as a commission from
a third party, when earned.
Estimates and Uncertainties--The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date,
could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment--Property and equipment are stated at cost. Theater
equipment is depreciated over a period of 5 to 7 years using straight line and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the
related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is less.
Rent Expense--The NF Theater Group leased its theater facilities pursuant
to various long-term leases. Additional rent was paid for common area
maintenance and was also charged based on a percentage of net revenue in excess
of a predetermined amount. Rent for the NF Theater Group amounted to
approximately $162,000 for the period ended May 29, 1996 and $344,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995.
Income Taxes--The members of the NF Theater Group had elected under Section
1361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be taxed as 'S'
corporations. Under those provisions, all earnings and losses of the members of
the NF Theater Group were reported on the tax returns of their shareholders.
Accordingly, no provisions have been made for federal income tax reporting
purposes. The NF Theater Group continues to be subject to state income taxes at
reduced rates.
NOTE 2--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Operating Expenses and Management Fees--The NF Theater Group's operations
through the date of sale were significantly controlled by Nelson Ferman. In that
regard, the cash deposited in the operating accounts of each theater was
transferred to Nelson Ferman, which used the funds to pay operating expenses,
along with the funds from other Nelson Ferman affiliated theaters, using an
integrated system.
In addition to the normal operating expenses, the NF Theater Group was
allocated a management fee from Nelson Ferman based on total corporate overhead.
The management fee allocation amounted to approximately $705,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and $282,000 for the period ended May 29, 1996.
NOTE 3--SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
On May 29, 1996, substantially all of the NF Theater Group's assets,
including leasehold interests, equipment and various operating contracts were
sold to Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. ('Clearview') for $7,000,000, including
$5,000,000 in cash and $2,000,000 in shares of common stock of Clearview.
The theaters began operating, effective May 30, 1996, as Clearview theaters
at which time the third party concession commission arrangements were
discontinued and Clearview commenced operating the concession facilities. The
results of operations of the NF Theater Group subsequent to the acquisition are
included in Clearview's results of operations.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Combination and Nature of the Business--The combined
financial statements include the accounts of three theater divisions of Magic
Cinemas, LLC: Bergenfield ('Bergenfield'), Tenafly ('Tenafly') and Closter
('Closter'), collectively, the 'Magic Theater Group'. Until December 13, 1996,
these theaters were divisions of Magic Cinemas, LLC ('Magic'), an independent
theater circuit with locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
The Magic Theater Group operated multi-screen first run theaters in New
Jersey.
Revenue Recognition--The Magic Theater Group recognizes revenue from ticket
and concessions sales at the time of sale. Rental income is recognized in the
month that it is earned.
Estimates and Uncertainties--The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date,
could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment--Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Buildings and improvements, theater equipment and office furniture and equipment
are depreciated using straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. In general, the estimated useful lives used in
computing depreciation and amortization are: buildings and improvements--39
years; theater equipment--5 to 7 years; office furniture and equipment--5 to 7
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset,
whichever is less.
Rent Expense--The Closter facility has an operating lease which contains
predetermined increases in the rental payable during the term of such lease. For
this lease, the aggregate rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. The differences between the expense charged to operations
and amounts payable under such leases are recorded annually as deferred rent
expense, which will ultimately reverse over the lease term. Additional rent is
paid for common area maintenance and may also be charged based on a percentage
of net revenue in excess of a predetermined amount.
Rent expense for the Closter theater amounted to approximately $77,000 for
the period ended December 13, 1996 and $50,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995.
Theaters located in Bergenfield and Tenafly were owned by the Magic Theater
Group.
Income Taxes--For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Magic Theater Group
had elected under Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
to be taxed as 'S' corporations and, for the period ended December 13, 1996,
Magic was treated as a partnership for Federal and New Jersey state income tax
reporting purposes. Under these provisions, all earnings and losses were
reported on the tax returns of the respective shareholders, partners or members.
Accordingly, no provisions have been made for federal income tax reporting
purposes.
NOTE 2--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Operating Expenses and Management Fees--The Magic Theater Group's
operations through the date of sale by Magic were significantly controlled by
Magic. In that regard, the cash deposited to the Magic Theater Group's operating
accounts was transferred to Magic which used the funds to pay operating
expenses, along with funds from other Magic-owned theaters, on a company-wide
basis using an integrated system.
In addition to the normal operating expenses, the Magic Theater Group was
allocated a management fee from the corporate division of Magic based on
corporate overhead. The management fee amounted to approximately $149,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995. For the period ended December 13, 1996, an
administrative charge was provided based on Magic's historical percentage of
corporate overhead.

restructured into equity.
NOTE 3--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On December 13, 1996, substantially all of the Magic Theater Group's
assets, including land, building, equipment and various operating contracts and
leases were sold to Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. ('Clearview') at a sale price

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Clearview Cinema Group, Inc.
We have audited the combined balance sheet of the United Artist Theatre Circuit,
Inc. Theaters at Bronxville, Larchmont, Wayne, New City and Mamaroneck (the 'UA
Theaters'), as of December 31, 1996 and the related combined statements of
income and divisional equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1996. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of United Artist Theatre Circuit, Inc. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the UA Theaters at
December 31, 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, United Artist
Theatre Circuit, Inc. changed its method of accounting for impairment of
long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 121 in 1996.

UNITED ARTIST THEATRE CIRCUIT, INC. CINEMAS AT
BRONXVILLE, LARCHMONT, WAYNE, NEW CITY AND MAMARONECK
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Data relating to March 31, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited)
NOTE 1--NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Combination--The combined financial statements include the
accounts of the United Artist Theatre Circuit, Inc. theaters at Bronxville,
Larchmont, Wayne, New City and Mamaroneck (the 'UA Theaters'). All significant
inter-location balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.
Nature of the Business--The UA Theaters are regional motion picture houses
located in suburban communities in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
Revenues and Film Rental Costs--The UA Theaters recognize revenues from box
office admissions and concession sales at the time of sale. Film rental costs
are based a film's box office receipts and length of a film's run.
Seasonality--The UA Theaters' business is seasonal with a large portion of
their revenues and profits being derived during the summer months (June through
August) and the holiday season (November and December).
Estimates and Uncertainties--The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date,
could differ from those estimates.
Inventories--Inventories consist of concession products and are stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment--Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Buildings and improvements, theater equipment and office furniture and equipment
are depreciated using straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. In general, the estimated useful lives used in
computing depreciation and amortization are: buildings and improvements--39
years; theater equipment--5 to 10 years; office furniture and equipment--5 to 10
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset,
whichever is less.
Rent Expense--The Wayne theater included in the combined financial
statements is operated under a lease that contains predetermined increases in
the rent payable during the term of such lease. For this lease, the aggregate
rental expense over the lease term is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. The differences between the expense charged to operations and
the amount payable under that lease are recorded annually as deferred rent
expense, which will ultimately reverse over the lease term.
Additional rent is paid for common area maintenance and may also be charged
based on a percentage of net revenue in excess of a predetermined amount.
Financial Instruments--Financial instruments include cash, security
deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses The amounts reported for
financial instruments are considered to be reasonable approximations of their
fair values, based on market information concerning financial instruments with
similar characteristics available to management.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets--In 1996, the United Artists Theatre
Circuit, Inc. ('UA') adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
('SFAS') No. 121, 'Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of' (See Note 4). SFAS No. 121 prescribes that
an impairment loss is recognized in the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

PART II--INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Reference is hereby made to Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (the 'DCL'), which provides that a corporation will have
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a 'proceeding'), by
reason of the fact the he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, with respect to the payment of certain
amounts under certain circumstances.
Article V ('Article V') of the proposed Amended and Restated By-laws of
Clearview Cinema Group, Inc. (the 'Company') provides that the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is
otherwise involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or a person
for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the
Company or is or was a director or officer of the Company and is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or
non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans.
Any indemnification pursuant to Article V (unless ordered by a court) will
be made by the Company only upon a determination that indemnification is proper
in the circumstances because the director or officer, as the case may be, has
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Article V. Such
determination will be made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or
(b) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders. To
the extent, however, that a director or officer of the Company has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a proceeding, or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she will be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or
her in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the
specific case. Except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification
(which are governed by Section 5.5 of Article V), the Company is not obligated
to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by that person unless that proceeding was authorized or
consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in
defending or investigating any threatened or pending civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding will be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of that director or officer to
repay those amounts if it ultimately is determined that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in Article V, if such an
undertaking is required at the time by the DCL. In addition, the Board of
Directors of the Company, without approval from the stockholders, may borrow
money on behalf of the Company from time to time to discharge the Company's
obligations with respect to indemnification, the advancement and reimbursement
of expenses, and the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of any
person, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to
indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of Article V.
Article V provides that the rights to indemnification and advancement of
expenses conferred by Article V are not exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may otherwise be
entitled. Article V further provides that the Board of Directors of the Company
is authorized to provide rights to indemnification and the advancement of
expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred in
Article V on directors and officers of the Company. Nothing in Article V
precludes the indemnification of any person whom the Company has the power or
obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DCL, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Section 145 thereof, or otherwise.
Article V states that any repeal or modification of the Article will not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing
at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions
occurring prior to such repeal or modification. Further, the rights conferred by
Article V, unless otherwise
II-1
provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to any person who has ceased
to be a director of the Company and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such person.
Article IX ('Article IX') of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company provides that the personal liability of a
director of the Company is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Section
102(b)(7) of the DCL, as the same may be amended and supplemented. Article IX
states that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no director will
be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DCL (relating to
unlawful distributions and redemptions of shares), or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The rights conferred by Article IX are presumed to have been relied upon by
directors of the Company in serving or continuing to serve the Company and are
enforceable as contract rights. Those rights are not exclusive of any other
rights to which the directors of the Company may otherwise be entitled. The
Company may enter into contracts to provide the directors of the Company with
rights to indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the DCL. The
Company may create trust funds, grant security interests in the assets of the
Company, obtain letters of credit or use other means to ensure payment of such
amounts as may be necessary to perform the obligations provided for in Article
IX, the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company or any such contract.
The rights conferred by Article IX continue as to any person who has ceased
to be a director of the Company and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of such person. Any repeal or modification of Article IX by
the stockholders of the Company will not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or
modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or
modification.

construed by the United States Supreme Court in Securities and Exchange

purchasers who were knowledgeable about the Company due to their relationships

addition, each purchaser possessed the experience and skills necessary to
evaluate the risks involved with the purchase of securities of the Company.

officers and Paul Kay was an officer of the Company. MidMark and CMNY are small
business investment companies licensed by the Small Business Administration
under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. In addition,

director of the Company at the time CMCO purchased securities of the Company.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
described under Item 24 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the question has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

statement on Form SB-2 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
