NOTES:
(a) Total EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus loss on sale/disposals of theatres and
includes 100% of the operating results of the Company's partnerships. Total
EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as
determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), as a measure of the Company's
operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), as a measure of
the Company's liquidity. In addition, the Total EBITDA measure presented
herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Total EBITDA measures the amount of cash that a company has
available for investment or other uses and is used by the Company as a
measure of its performance. The Company believes that Total EBITDA is an
important measure, in addition to cash flow from operations and EBITDA, in
viewing its overall liquidity and borrowing capacity.
(b) Attributable EBITDA consists of Total EBITDA less partners' share of Total
EBITDA.
(c) All per screen and location ratios are based upon the weighted average
number of screens and locations in operation during the period and include
100% of the results of the significant partnerships in which the Company
has a 50% interest.
