On January 30, 2003, Cinemark USA, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"),
announced that it intends to issue, subject to market and other conditions,

- ---------------

(1) EBITDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization,
    asset impairment loss, (gain) loss on sale of assets and other, changes in
    deferred lease expense and accrued and unpaid compensation expense relating
    to any stock option plans. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly
    used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net
    income or operating income as an indicator of operating performance or as an
    alternative to cash flows for operating activities as a measure of liquidity
    (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    in the U.S.). EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
    reported by other companies. EBITDA for 2002 includes a non-recurring charge
    of approximately $3.1 million related to legal, accounting and other
    professional fees and costs associated with the proposed initial public
    offering of Cinemark, Inc., the parent company of Cinemark USA, Inc., the
    closing of which was postponed due to unfavorable market conditions.

(2) Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

(3) The restrictive covenants in the Company's senior subordinated note
    indentures apply only to Cinemark USA, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries
    (the "Restricted Group"). This data presents certain information with
    respect to the Restricted Group only.

     The Company's estimated unaudited results for 2002 were consistent with the
strong U.S. box office performance in 2002, however, historical results are not
necessarily indicative of future results. Additionally, the audit of the
Company's 2002 results has not yet been completed and, accordingly, the amounts
the Company reports following the completion of its audit may differ from these
estimates. The Company generally incurs indebtedness under its revolving credit
facility during the first quarter of each year and repays these amounts during
the subsequent quarters of the year.
