REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AMC Entertainment Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") at April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended April 1, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company restated its financial statements for its fiscal years ended April 3, 2003 and March 28, 2002.

AMC Entertainment Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended April 1, 2004, April 3, 2003 and March 28, 2002

NOTE 1—THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE") is a holding company which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") and its subsidiaries, AMC Entertainment International, Inc. ("AMCEI") and National Cinema Network, Inc. ("NCN") (collectively with AMCE, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business throughout North America and in China (Hong Kong), Japan, France, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Company's North American theatrical exhibition business is conducted through AMC and AMCEI. The Company's International theatrical exhibition business is conducted through AMCEI. The Company is also involved in the business of providing on-screen advertising and other services to AMC and other theatre circuits through a wholly-owned subsidiary, NCN.

Restatements: In connection with the annual audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company, with the concurrence of its independent registered public accounting firm, determined that its financial statements for the years ended April 3, 2003 and March 28, 2002 as previously filed needed to be restated for the following items:

Foreign deferred tax assets: The Company had previously recorded valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions when it became clear, based on theatre impairments or other factors, that it would not be profitable in those jurisdictions. The Company has now determined that full valuation allowances should be recorded against deferred tax assets in all foreign jurisdictions when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements for the years ended April 3, 2003 and March 28, 2002 and the balance of retained earnings as of March 29, 2001 to reflect additional valuation allowances on foreign deferred tax assets. The effects of such adjustments are summarized as follows:

Cumulative decrease to retained earnings at March 29, 2001	$	3,800,000
Increase in income tax provision and net loss for the year ended March 28, 2002		800,000
Increase in income tax provision and net loss for the year ended April 3, 2003	$	9,000,000

Swedish tax benefits recorded in loss from discontinued operations: In the third quarter of the year ended April 1, 2004, the Company recorded a $2,500,000 U.S. federal income tax benefit generated from a worthless stock deduction relating to the Company's Sweden operations which were sold in that quarter. The Company subsequently determined that the income tax benefit in the amount of $3,600,000 should have been recorded in the year ended March 28, 2002 (the period in which the Sweden investment was restructured and became worthless).

Additionally, in the year ended March 28, 2002, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,500,000 for asset impairments in Sweden. The Company subsequently determined that the deferred tax asset should have been reserved with a full valuation allowance.

Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended March 28, 2002 to record the net effects of such adjustments. The net effects of such adjustments (which are recorded in loss from discontinued operations) are summarized as follows:

Decrease in loss from discontinued operations and net loss for the year ended March 28, 2002

2,100,000

Straight-line contingent rentals: Rent expense for leases with rent escalation clauses are required to be recorded on a straight-line method under certain circumstances. The Company recently determined that it has one lease that has a clause for contingent rents in which case the contingency was virtually certain to occur. Rent expense for this lease should have been recorded on the straight-line method. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements for the years ended April 3, 2003 and March 28, 2002 and the balance of retained earnings as of March 29, 2001 to reflect the straight-line method of recording the contingent portion of rent expense for this one lease. The effects of such adjustments are summarized as follows:

Cumulative decrease in retained earnings at March 29, 2001	$	231,000
Increase in net loss (net of income tax benefit of $200,000) for the year ended March 28, 2002	$	210,000
Increase in net loss (net of income tax benefit of $200,000) for the year ended April 3, 2003	$	244,000

The following table sets forth the previously reported amounts and the restated amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements:

The accumulated deficit previously reported at March 30, 2001 of $156,047,000 has been restated to a deficit of $160,078,000, which is an increase of $4,031,000, to reflect the effect of the restatement adjustments for the periods prior to fiscal 2002. Such cumulative adjustments also had the corresponding effect of decreasing deferred income taxes (long-term) by $3,700,000 and increasing other long-term liabilities by $331,000 for deferred rent.

All previously reported amounts affected by the restatement that appear elsewhere in these footnotes to the consolidated financial statements have also been restated.

Discontinued Operations: The results of operations for the Company's discontinued operations have been eliminated from the Company's continuing operations and classified as discontinued operations for each period presented within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 3 Discontinued Operations.

Use of Estimates: 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 could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMCE and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year: The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal 2004 and 2002 reflect 52 week periods. Fiscal year 2003 reflects a 53 week period.

Revenues: Revenues are recognized when admissions and concessions sales are received at the theatres. The Company defers 100% of the revenue associated with the sales of discounted theatre tickets and gift certificates (no revenue or income recognition for non-presentment) until such time as the items are redeemed or the gift certificate liabilities are extinguished and the discounted theatre tickets expire. The Company recognizes revenues related to on-screen advertising over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre pursuant to the specific terms of its agreements with advertisers.

Film Exhibition Costs: Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and estimates of the final settlement to the film licenses. As of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003, the Company recorded film payables of $57,094,000 and $48,879,000, respectively. The Company recorded film exhibition costs of $649,380,000, $660,982,000 and $485,799,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Concession Costs: Generally, the Company records payments from vendors as a reduction of concession costs when earned. Revenue is recorded when it is determined that the payment was for the fair value of services provided to the vendor where the benefit to the vendor is sufficiently separable from the Company's purchase of the vendor's products. If the consideration received is in excess of fair value, then the excess is recorded as a reduction of concession costs. In addition, if the payment from the vendor is for a reimbursement of expenses, then those expenses are offset.

NCN and Other: The Company recognizes revenues related to on-screen advertising over the period the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre pursuant to the specific terms of its agreements with advertisers. Its on-screen advertising subsidiary (NCN) operates its advertising program through agreements with other theatre circuits. These circuit agreements stipulate the amount of circuit payments a theatre will receive for running on-screen slides, on-film programs and other related in-theatre products and services. The Company's circuit agreements have terms of 1 to 5 years, with an annual cancellation provision included in select agreements. Certain circuits have agreements requiring an annual minimum exhibitor share payment. The Company recognizes the minimum exhibitor share payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the agreements and any excess minimum exhibitor share payments are recognized when earned.

Loyalty Program: The Company records the estimated incremental cost of providing free concession items for awards under its Moviewatcher loyalty program when the awards are earned.

Cash and Equivalents: Cash and equivalents consist of cash on hand and temporary cash investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company invests excess cash in deposits with major banks and in temporary cash investments. Such investments are made only in instruments issued or

enhanced by high quality financial institutions (investment grade or better). Amounts invested in a single institution are limited to minimize risk.

Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified within accounts payable in the balance sheet. The amount of these checks included in accounts payable as of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003 was $19,737,000 and $39,076,000, respectively.

Property: Property is recorded at cost. The Company uses the straight-line method in computing depreciation and amortization for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods, with respect to certain assets, for income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and improvements		5 to 40 years
Leasehold improvements		1 to 20 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		1 to 10 years

Expenditures for additions (including interest during construction), major renewals and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property disposals are credited or charged to operations.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost and are comprised of lease rights, amounts assigned to theatre leases acquired under favorable terms, customer lists, non-competition and consulting agreements and trademarks, each of which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. The gross carrying amount of intangible assets was $57,719,000 and $64,230,000 as of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003, respectively. Accumulated amortization on intangible assets was $33,801,000 and $34,180,000 as of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003, respectively. Amortization expense was $6,290,000, $7,138,000 and $2,420,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The original useful lives of these assets ranged from 1 to 36 years and the remaining useful lives range from 1 to 9 years.

Investments: We account for investments in non-consolidated entities using the equity method of accounting. As of April 1, 2004, the Company holds a 50% interest in Hoyts General Cinemas South America ("HGCSA"), a partnership that operates seventeen theatres in South America. The Company has recorded an investment in HGCSA of $0 as of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003. As of April 1, 2004 the amount of underlying deficit in net assets of HGCSA was $1,988,000. The Company has not recorded its investment in HGCSA below $0 as it is not directly obligated to fund the losses of HGCSA.

Acquisitions: The Company accounts for its acquisitions of theatrical exhibition business using the purchase method. The purchase method requires that the Company estimates the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities acquired as well as various forms of consideration given including cash, common stock, senior subordinated notes and bankruptcy related claims. The Company obtained independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets and liabilities acquired for assistance in determining fair value. The Company consummated acquisitions in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 as discussed in Note 2—Acquisitions.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets related to acquisitions of theatre circuits. The Company is not required to amortize goodwill as a charge to earnings; however, the Company is required to conduct an annual review of goodwill for impairment.

The Company's recorded goodwill was $71,727,000 as of April 1, 2004. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth fiscal quarter and any time an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value for a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We consider our North American theatrical exhibition operating segment to be the reporting unit for purposes

of evaluating recorded goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value we are required to reallocate the fair value of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. We determine fair value by considering the market price of our common stock as well as multiples applied to cash flow estimates less net indebtedness which we believe is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples to be used in determining fair value and the market value of our common stock could be volatile.

Other Long-term Assets: Other long-term assets are comprised principally of costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt securities, which are being amortized over the respective lives of the issuances, and investments in real estate.

Preopening Expense: Preopening expense consists primarily of advertising and other start-up costs incurred prior to the operation of new theatres and are expensed as incurred.

Theatre and Other Closure Expense: Theatre and other closure expense is primarily related to payments made or expected to be made to landlords to terminate leases on certain of the Company's closed theatres, other vacant space or theatres where development has been discontinued. Theatre and other closure expense is recognized at the time the theatre closes, space becomes vacant or development is discontinued. Expected payments to landlords are based on actual or discounted contractual amounts. Accretion expense for exit activities initiated after December 31, 2002 is included as a component of theatre and other closure expense. The Company recorded theatre and other closure expense of $4,068,000, $5,416,000 and $2,124,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Accrued theatre and other closure expense is generally classified as current based upon management's intention to negotiate termination of the related lease obligations within one year.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions: The Company accounts for the sale and leaseback of real estate assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98 Accounting For Leases. Losses on sale leaseback transactions are recognized at the time of sale if the fair value of the property sold is less than the undepreciated cost of the property. Gains on sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term. A gain of $15,130,000 on sale and leaseback transactions for 13 theatres entered into in fiscal 1998 has been deferred and is being amortized over the remaining lease terms.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets: Management reviews long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment as part of the Company's annual budgeting process and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Management reviews internal management reports on a quarterly basis as well as monitors current and potential future competition in the markets where we operate for indicators of triggering events or circumstances that indicate potential impairment of individual theatre assets. Management evaluates its theatres using historical and projected data of theatre level cash flow as its primary indicator of potential impairment and considers the seasonality of its business when evaluating theatres for impairment. Because the Christmas and New Years holiday results comprise a significant portion of the Company's operating cash flow, the actual results from this period, which are available during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, are an integral part of the Company's impairment analysis. As a result of these analyses, if the sum of the estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use until the expected disposal date or the fair value of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The expected disposal date does not exceed the remaining lease period and is often less than the remaining lease period when management does not expect to

operate the theatre to the end of its lease term. The fair value of assets is determined as either the expected selling price less selling costs (where appropriate) or the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Fair value for furniture, fixtures and equipment has been determined using similar asset sales and in some instances independent third party valuation studies. There is considerable management judgment necessary to determine the future cash flows, fair value and the expected operating period of a theatre, and accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.

If theatres currently have sufficient estimated future cash flows to realize the related carrying amount of theatre assets, but management believes that it is not likely the theatre will be operated to the end of its lease term, the estimated economic life of the theatre assets are revised to reflect management's best estimate of the economic life of the theatre assets for purposes of recording depreciation.

Impairment losses by operating segment follows:

Impairment of long-lived assets (In thousands)	2004		2003		2002
North American theatrical exhibition	$	12,747	$	4,083	$	–
International theatrical exhibition		3,525		15,480		4,668	⁽¹⁾

Total impairments of long-lived assets	$	16,272	$	19,563	$	4,668

⁽¹⁾: Included as a component of discontinued operations.

Foreign Currency Translation: Operations outside the United States are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, except those intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, are included in net earnings and have not been material.

Loss per Share: Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The Company accounts for loss per share in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-95 Effect of Participating Convertible Securities on the Computation of Basic Earnings Per Share. Topic No. D-95 requires the inclusion of participating convertible securities in the computation of basic earnings per common share. Topic No. D-95 permits the use of either the "if-converted" or the "two-class" method: the Company has selected the "if-converted" method. The dilutive effect of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is considered in the computation of basic earnings per common share in accordance with Topic No. D-95. Under Topic No. D-95, the dilutive effect of the Series A Preferred on basic earnings per common share cannot be less than the amount that would result from the application of the "two-class" method of computing basic earnings per common share. The "two-class" method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for the common stock and the participating Series A Preferred according to dividends declared and participating rights in the undistributed earnings as if all such earnings were distributed. If dividends are paid on the common stock in any fiscal period, the holders of Series A Preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends on an "as converted" basis, to the extent such dividends are greater than the face amount of Series A Preferred dividends otherwise payable in such fiscal period. Diluted loss per share includes the effects of outstanding stock options, stock awards and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation: The Company accounts for the stock options, restricted stock awards and deferred stock units under plans that it sponsors following the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees (APB No. 25) and related interpretations. Stock-based employee compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and deferred stock units of $8,727,000, $2,011,000 and $442,000 was reflected in net loss for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. No stock-based employee compensation expense for stock options was reflected in net loss for fiscal 2004,

2003 and 2002, as all stock options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table reflects the weighted average fair value per option granted during each year, as well as the significant weighted average assumptions used in determining fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

	2004	2003	2002
Weighted average fair value on grant date	–	$8.82	$4.16
Risk-free interest rate	–	2.6%	4.7%
Expected life (years)	–	5	5
Expected volatility	–	67.7%	66.8%
Expected dividend yield	–	–	–

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value method had been applied to all stock awards and outstanding and unvested options in each period:

(In thousands, except per share data)			2004			2003 (restated)			2002 (restated)
Net loss:
	As reported		$	(10,714	)	$	(29,546	)	$	(10,378	)
		Add: Stock based compensation expense included in reported net loss, net of related tax effects		5,236			1,263			265
		Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards		(5,930	)		(3,052	)		(982	)

	Pro forma		$	(11,408	)	$	(31,335	)	$	(11,095	)

	Pro forma		$	(1.41	)	$	(1.61	)	$	(1.71	)

Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income tax return purposes are recorded by the liability method. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences of deferred income or expense items and immediately recognizes changes in income tax laws upon enactment. The income statement effect is generally derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance sheet.

Casualty Insurance: The Company is self-insured for general liability up to $400,000 per occurrence and carries a $400,000 deductible limit per occurrence for workers compensation claims. The Company utilizes actuarial projections of its ultimate losses that it will be responsible for paying. The actuarial method includes an allowance for adverse developments on known claims and an allowance for claims which have been incurred but which have not been reported. As of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003, the Company had recorded casualty insurance reserves of $20,479,000 and $19,765,000, respectively. The Company recorded expenses related to general liability and workers compensation claims of $10,581,000, $6,752,000 and $10,304,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143 Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 addresses the recognition and remeasurement of obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 became effective for the Company in fiscal 2004. Adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated below, all provisions of SFAS No. 149 should be applied prospectively. The provisions of SFAS No. 149 relating to SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters beginning prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. Adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of these instruments were previously classified as temporary equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption, transition shall be achieved by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by initially measuring the financial instruments at fair value or other measurement attribute required by SFAS No. 150. On November 5, 2003 the FASB deferred the provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. Instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity not addressed in SFAS No. 150 may be addressed in Phase 2 of the FASB's Liabilities and Equity project. Adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. This interpretation addresses the consolidation of business enterprises (variable interest entities) to which the usual condition of consolidation does not apply. This interpretation focuses on financial interests that indicate control. It concludes that in the absence of clear control through voting interests, a company's exposure (variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the variable interest entity's assets ("VIE") and activities are the best evidence of control. Variable interests are rights and obligations that convey economic gains or losses from changes in the values of the VIE's assets and liabilities. Variable interests may arise from financial instruments, service contracts, nonvoting ownership interests and other arrangements. If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary would be required to include assets, liabilities and the results of operations of the VIE in its financial statements. This interpretation applies immediately to VIE's that are created, or for which control is obtained after, January 31, 2003.

In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to FIN 46 to clarify some of the provisions and to exempt certain entities from its requirements. Under the new guidance, special effective date provisions apply to enterprises that have fully or partially applied FIN 46 prior to issuance of the revised interpretation. Otherwise, application of Interpretation 46R ("FIN 46R") is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities ("SPEs") for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than business issuers, for all other types of VIEs other than SPEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004.

The Company does not have interests in structures commonly referred to as SPEs. The Company applied FIN 46R beginning with our fourth fiscal quarter of 2004. Adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2003, the FASB published a revision to SFAS No. 132 Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106. SFAS No. 132R requires additional disclosures to those in the original SFAS No. 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The provisions of SFAS No. 132 remained in effect until the provisions of SFAS No. 132R were adopted. SFAS No. 132R is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim-period disclosures required by SFAS No. 132R are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Adoption of SFAS No. 132R did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financing position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 12, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-1, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, ("FSP No. 106-1") in response to a new law regarding prescription drug benefits under Medicare ("Medicare Part D") as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Currently, SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions("SFAS No. 106") requires that changes in relevant law be considered in current measurement of postretirement benefit costs. However, certain accounting issues related to the federal subsidy remain unclear and significant uncertainties may exist which impair a plan sponsor's ability to evaluate the direct effects of the new law and the ancillary effects on plan participants' behavior and healthcare costs. Due to these uncertainties, FSP No. 106-1 provides plan sponsors with an opportunity to elect to defer recognizing the effects of the new law in the accounting for its retiree health care benefit plans under SFAS No. 106 and to provide related disclosures until authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy is issued and clarification regarding other uncertainties is resolved. The Company has elected to defer recognition while evaluating the new law and the pending issuance of authoritative guidance and their effect, if any, on the Company's results of operations, financial position and financial statement disclosure. Therefore, any measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or the net periodic postretirement benefit cost do not reflect the effects of the new law and issued guidance could require the Company to change previously reported information. In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP No. 106-2 which provides accounting guidance for this new subsidy. The Company sponsors a postretirement benefit plan which may benefit from the subsidy and as a result, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP No. 106-2, which the Company is required to adopt in its second quarter of fiscal 2005.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue 03-06, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FAS 128", ("Issue 03-06") at its March 2004 meeting. Issue 03-06 addresses a number of questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends and earnings of the issuing entity. Such securities are contractually entitled to receive dividends when and if the entity declares dividends on common stock. The issue also provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share once it is determined that a security is participating. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The consensus is effective for the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2005 and requires retroactive application. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of Issue 03-06 on its financial statements.

Presentation: Certain amounts have been reclassified from prior period consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

On March 15, 2002, the Company acquired the operations and related assets of Gulf States Theatres ("GST") for a cash purchase price of $45,772,000 (see Note 16—Related Party Transactions). In connection with the acquisition, the Company leased five theatres with 68 screens in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. All five of the theatres feature stadium seating and have been built since 1997 and strengthen the Company's position in the New Orleans market. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired from GST, based on an independent third party valuation study:

(In thousands)
Property	$	11,396
Intangible assets		8,540
Goodwill		25,836

Total purchase price	$	45,772

Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization, are recorded at the Company's North American theatrical exhibition operating segment (the reporting unit) and are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company will pay $300,000 annually for five years in connection with consulting and non-competition agreements related to the acquisition. The annual payments will be included within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Amounts allocated to intangible assets relate to $8,200,000 for a non-competition and consulting agreement and $340,000 for an acquired trademark which are the fair values as determined by an independent third party valuation study. The valuation of the non-competition agreement was calculated as the present value of expected cash flows that would be lost due to competition if the agreement was not in place. The valuation of the trademark was based upon the estimated expenditures that a theatre incurs prior to opening in order to build brand-name awareness. The amortization periods for the non-competition and consulting agreement and trademark are seven years and 20 years, respectively. Amortization expense and accumulated amortization are as follows:

(In thousands)		2004		2003		2002
Amortization expense of non-competition and consulting agreement		$	1,171	$	1,171	$	–
Amortization expense of trademark			17		17		–

	Total	$	1,188	$	1,188	$	–

(In thousands)		2004		2003		2002
Accumulated amortization of non-competition and consulting agreement		$	2,342	$	1,171	$	–
Accumulated amortization of trademark			34		17

	Total	$	2,376	$	1,188	$	–

Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years is $1,171,000 under the non-competition and consulting agreement and $17,000 for the trademark.

On March 29, 2002, the Company acquired GC Companies, Inc. ("GC") pursuant to a plan of reorganization sponsored by the Company for a purchase price of $168,931,000 (net of $6,500,000 from the sale of GC's portfolio of venture capital investments on the effective date), which included anticipated cash

payments of $68,472,000, the issuance of $72,880,000 aggregate principal amount of 9¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 with a fair value of $71,787,000 and the issuance of 2,578,581 shares of common stock, with an aggregate fair value of $35,172,000 based on a fair value of $13.64 per share (the closing price per share on the effective date of the plan). The acquisition included 66 theatres with 621 screens in the United States, 3 managed theatres with 20 screens in the United States and a 50% interest in Hoyts General Cinemas South America which operates 17 theatres with 160 screens in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay that is accounted for using the equity method.

As of April 1, 2004, $2,354,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price was unpaid and 148,148 shares of the common stock portion of the purchase price with a fair value of $2,020,000 were unissued. The final purchase price for GC Companies was not determinable until all creditor claims disputed by the GC Companies post-confirmation unsecured creditors committee were consensually resolved or determined by the bankruptcy court. That process was recently completed, and the GC Companies bankruptcy case was closed on May 26, 2004. Through April 1, 2004, we had issued $72,880,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior subordinated notes due 2011 and 2,430,433 shares of our common stock and paid approximately $66,118,000 in cash to creditors of GC Companies. Acquisition of GC's theatre circuit expanded the Company's national footprint of industry-leading theatres, especially in key markets in the Northeast and upper Midwest.

The GC subsidiary which held its interest in the South American theatre joint venture was not subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court and the joint venture's lenders retain liens on the Argentine and Chilean entities. Prior to the Company's acquisition of GC, its joint venture defaulted on its Argentine and Chilean loan agreements as the debts thereunder became due in December 2001 and payment was not made in accordance with the agreements. However, in connection with the plan of reorganization, one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries acquired, at par, a 25% undivided, non-voting, economic participation interest in the joint venture's loans for an aggregate purchase price of $10.96 million, whereupon the GC guaranties were released and the lenders agreed to extend the final maturity date of the loans. The joint venture is currently renegotiating payment terms related to these loans. Non-compliance with covenants applicable to these loans could result in an acceleration of the loan payment terms or default. Because of such considerations the Company attributes no value to its investment in the joint venture and participation interest in the joint venture's loans. The Company accounted for the payment above as part of the total purchase price for GC. The amount of the purchase price allocated to the participation interest in the joint venture's loans was estimated to be $0 based on the final valuation study performed by an independent third party, which took into account, among other things, the effect that the massive devaluation of the Argentine peso would have on the Argentine operating company's ability to repay US dollar denominated debt and continuing defaults under the joint venture's loans.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities of GC based on estimates of fair value from an independent third party valuation study and the final settlement of liabilities assumed from GC:

(In thousands)
Cash and equivalents	$	10,468
Current assets		12,828
Property		133,509
Intangible assets		23,318

Deferred income taxes		35,700
Other long-term assets		7,738
Current liabilities		(32,113	)
Other long-term liabilities		(57,141	)

Total purchase price	$	168,931

Amounts allocated to intangible assets relate to $19,664,000 of favorable leases assumed from GC and gift certificate and discount ticket customer lists of $3,654,000 which are the fair values as determined by an independent third party valuation study. The weighted average amortization period for favorable leases and customer lists is approximately 10 years and 2 years, respectively. Amortization expense and accumulated amortization are as follows:

(In thousands)		2004		2003		2002
Amortization expense of favorable leases		$	2,031	$	2,241	$	–

On December 19, 2003, the Company acquired certain of the operations and related assets of MegaStar Cinemas, L.L.C. ("MegaStar") for an estimated cash purchase price of $14,950,000. In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed leases on three theatres with 48 screens in Minneapolis and Atlanta. All three of the theatres feature stadium seating, have been built since 2000 and strengthen

the Company's position in the Minneapolis and Atlanta markets. As of April 1, 2004, $1,536,000 of the estimated total purchase price was unpaid. The results of operations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from December 19, 2003. The Company believes the results of operations of the acquired theatres are not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and pro forma information is not included herein. The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired from MegaStar based on management estimates of fair value and an independent third party valuation study:

(In thousands)
Cash and equivalents	$	40
Current assets		94
Property		6,946
Other long-term assets		84
Goodwill		7,786

Total purchase price	$	14,950

Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization, were recorded at the Company's North American theatrical exhibition operating segment (the reporting unit) and are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 4, 2003, the Company sold its only theatre in Sweden and incurred a loss on sale of $5,591,000 which included a $5,252,000 payment to the purchaser to release the Company from future lease obligations related to the theatre. The Company opened its theatre in Sweden during fiscal 2001 and since that time the Company has incurred pre-tax losses of $17,210,000, including a $4,668,000 impairment charge in fiscal 2002 and a $5,591,000 loss on sale in fiscal 2004.

The operations and cash flows of the Sweden theatre have been eliminated from the Company's ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Sweden theatre after the disposal transaction. The results of operations of the Sweden theatre have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification. The operations of the Sweden theatre were previously reported in the Company's International operating segment. Components of amounts reflected

as loss from discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented in the following table:

Credit Facility due 2009

On March 26, 2004, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with The Bank of Nova Scotia, Citicorp North America, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation, Bank of America, N.A. and various other financial institutions. The Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 10, 1997 which was terminated in connection with the execution of the Credit Facility and in any event was scheduled to mature on April 10, 2004.

The $175,000,000 credit facility permits borrowings at interest rates based on either the bank's base rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% on base rate loans and from 2.0% to 3.0% on LIBOR loans and requires an annual commitment fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the commitment. The Credit Facility matures on April 9, 2009. The total commitment under the Credit Facility as of April 1, 2004 is $175,000,000; however, the Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur debt. As of April 1, 2004, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and approximately $163,000,000 was available for borrowing under the Credit Facility.

Covenants under the Credit Facility impose limitations on indebtedness, creation of liens, change of control, transactions with affiliates, mergers, investments, guaranties, asset sales, dividends, business

activities, repurchase of capital stock or subordinated debt and pledges. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants. As of April 1, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Credit Facility.

Costs related to the establishment of the Credit Facility were capitalized and are charged to interest expense over the life of the Credit Facility. Unamortized issuance costs of $3,844,000 as of April 1, 2004 are included in other long-term assets.

Notes Due 2009

On March 19, 1997, the Company sold $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Notes due 2009"). The Notes due 2009 bear interest at the rate of 9¹/2% per annum, payable in March and September. The Notes due 2009 are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2002 at 104.75% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after March 15, 2006, plus in each case interest accrued to the redemption date.

On March 25, 2004, the Company redeemed the $200,000,000 of the Notes due 2009 for $204,750,000. A loss of $8,590,000 was recognized in connection with the redemption, including a call premium of $4,750,000, unamortized issue costs of $3,291,000 and unamortized discount of $549,000. The loss is included within other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended April 1, 2004.

Notes Due 2011

Capital and Financing Lease Obligations

Occasionally, the Company is responsible for the construction of leased theatres and for paying project costs that are in excess of an agreed upon amount to be reimbursed from the developer. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 97-10 The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction requires

NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding, Common Stock and Class B Stock, which do not provide for different dividend rates or other preferences, other than voting rights, between the two classes of common stock.

Voting Rights

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and, except for the election of directors, vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company's Class B Stock and holders of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock who are entitled to vote their shares, on an as-converted basis, subject to the right to vote as a separate class as required by law and on certain charter amendments affecting the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value or relative powers, preferences or special rights thereof.

The holders of Class B Stock are entitled to ten votes per share and, except for the election of directors, vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and holders of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock who are entitled to vote their shares, on an as-converted basis, subject to the right to vote as a separate class as required by law and on certain charter amendments affecting the number of authorized shares of Class B Stock or the par value or relative powers, preferences or special rights thereof.

Under the Company's investment agreement with the initial purchasers of the Company's Preferred Stock, the Company cannot change the size of the Board of Directors, which presently has eight members, without the approval of the initial purchasers as long as they continue to own at least 117,500 shares of Preferred Stock. Also, so long as the initial purchasers continue to hold this and other preferred stock approval rights, the initial purchasers will have the right to elect three directors to the Company's Board of Directors. The remaining members of the board are elected by the holders of Common Stock and Class B stock. Under the Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation, presently holders of Common Stock, voting separately as a class, have the right to elect two directors, and the holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock, voting together as a single class, with each share of Common Stock having one vote per share and each share of Class B Stock having ten votes per share, have the right to elect three directors. In the event that no shares of Class B Stock remain outstanding, the holders of Common Stock may elect all of the members of the Board of Directors to be elected by holders other than holders of Preferred Stock, with each share having one vote for such purpose. Holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in elections of directors.

Upon transfer of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to a transferee that is not an affiliate of the initial purchasers, the transferee holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Company's Common Stock and Class B Stock on all matters except the election of directors and any matter reserved by law or the Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation for consideration exclusively by the holders of Common Stock or Class B Stock. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock also have the right to vote as a class on the creation, authorization or issuance of any class, series or shares of senior stock, parity stock or junior

stock (if the junior stock may be redeemed at the option of the holders thereof prior to April 19, 2011) and on any adverse change to the preference, rights and powers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

If an event of default with respect to the Company's Preferred Stock (as defined below) occurs and is not cured or waived within 45 days, then the holders of Preferred Stock will have the right to elect that number of directors that, when added to those directors already elected by the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. An "event of default" is defined as (i) an event of default under the Company's credit facility, the note indentures or any other indebtedness in excess of $10 million, (ii) the Company's failure to pay cash dividends on the Preferred Stock when required under the terms thereof or (iii) the Company's violation of the provisions of the investment agreement relating to the preferred stock approval rights.

Equity Securities

The authorized common stock of AMCE consists of two classes of stock: Common Stock (66²/3¢ par value; 200,000,000 shares authorized) and Class B Stock (66²/3¢ par value; 30,000,000 shares authorized). Holders of Class B Stock may elect to convert at any time on a share-for-share basis into Common Stock.

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (66²/3¢ par value), of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated under the Company's Certificate of Designations as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred") and 2,000,000 shares have been designated as Series B Exchangeable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred", and collectively with the Series A Preferred, the "Preferred Stock"). As of April 1, 2004, 299,477 Series A Preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

On March 29, 2002, the Company acquired GC pursuant to a plan of reorganization sponsored by the Company for purchase price of $168,931,000 (net of $6,500,000 from the sale of GC's portfolio of venture capital investments on the effective date), which includes the issuance of 2,578,581 shares of Common Stock, with an aggregate fair value of $35,172,000 based on a fair value of $13.64 per share (the closing price per share on the effective date of the plan).

On March 19, 2002, the Company completed a public offering of 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a public offering price of $10.50 per share and granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase an additional 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.50 per share to cover over-allotments. On March 28, 2002, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase these shares. Net proceeds from the offering of the shares of Common Stock of $100,800,000 were used to fund the acquisition of GC and will be used to pursue the Company's current business strategy including acquisitions of other theatres and theatre circuits.

On April 19, 2001, the Company issued 92,000 shares of Series A Preferred and 158,000 shares of Series B Preferred at a price of $1,000 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance of approximately $225,000,000 were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility. On September 13, 2001, all shares of Series B Preferred were exchanged for an equal number of shares of Series A Preferred. The Preferred Stock has preference in liquidation equal to the greater of $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, or the amount that would have been payable if the Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock.

The Series A Preferred is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $7.15 per Common Stock share (as adjusted, the "Conversion Price") resulting in a current conversion rate of 139.86 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred.

Dividends on the Series A Preferred accumulate at an annual rate of 6.75% and are payable when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends on the Series A Preferred must be paid with additional Series A Preferred shares for the first three years from April 19, 2001. Between April 20, 2004 and April 19, 2008, dividends may be paid in either additional Series A Preferred shares or cash, at

the Company's option, and must be paid in cash after April 19, 2008, unless prohibited by the Indentures for the Notes due 2011, in which case such dividends are payable in additional Series A Preferred shares.

Preferred Stock dividends paid in shares of Preferred Stock are recorded at their estimated fair value on the date of declaration. The carrying value of Series A Preferred is accreted to its redemption price (including any accrued and unpaid dividends) over ten years (the period from initial issuance until redemption first becomes available to the holder of the security) using the interest method. During fiscal 2004, the Company recorded dividends of 19,697 shares of Series A Preferred valued at $40,277,000. During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded dividends of 18,422 shares of Series A Preferred valued at $27,165,000.

The holders of Series A Preferred shares are also entitled to a special dividend of additional Series A Preferred shares if a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of the Company occurs prior to April 19, 2006 equal to the dividends that they would have received through April 19, 2006 if the Change of Control had not occurred. If dividends are paid on the Common Stock in any fiscal period, the holders of Series A Preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends on an "as converted" basis to the extent such dividends are greater than the Series A Preferred dividends otherwise payable in such fiscal period.

The Preferred Stock may be redeemed in whole and not in part by the Company at the Company's option at any time after April 19, 2006 for cash equal to the liquidation preference, provided that the average Common Stock closing price for the 20 trading days preceding the notice of redemption exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price. The Series A Preferred must be redeemed by the Company at the option of a holder at any time after April 19, 2011 for cash or Common Stock, at the Company's option, at a price equal to the Series A Preferred liquidation preference.

The initial purchasers of the Preferred Stock have the right to approve the payment of dividends on the Company's other capital stock.

In addition, during the period that they are entitled to elect three Directors, the initial purchasers of the Company's Preferred Stock must approve certain corporate actions before the Company may take them. These Preferred Stock Approval Rights include but are not limited to, limitations on the Company's ability to:

•: amend the Company's restated and amended certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
•: create, authorize or issue any class, series or shares of capital stock;
•: merge, consolidate or consummate a similar transaction;
•: incur debt or amend or alter the material terms of any existing or future material senior debt; and
•: acquire or dispose of any material business or assets.

During fiscal 1999, the Company loaned one of its executive officers $5,625,000 to purchase 375,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company in a secondary offering. During fiscal 1999, the Company also loaned $3,765,000 to another of its executive officers to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The 250,000 shares were purchased in the open market and unused proceeds of $811,000 were repaid to the Company leaving a remaining unpaid principal balance of $2,954,000. The loans were unsecured and were due in August and September of 2003, respectively, could be prepaid in part or full without penalty and were represented by promissory notes which bore interest at a rate (6% per annum) at least equal to the applicable federal rate prescribed by Section 1274 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect on the date of such loans, payable at maturity. Based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, on May 13, 2002 the Company's Board of Directors approved the forgiveness of $10,538,000 of principal and accrued interest on the loans to the two executive officers together with the payment of $8,712,000 of federal, state and payroll related taxes on behalf of the

executive officers in connection with the loan forgiveness and recorded these amounts as general and administrative expense. Such loan forgiveness was effective as of June 6, 2002 pursuant to agreements between the Company and each of the executive officers in which the officers agreed not to sell shares of Common Stock purchased in fiscal 1999 with proceeds of the loans for 18 months.

Stock-Based Compensation

In November 1994, AMCE adopted a stock option and incentive plan (the "1994 Plan"). This plan expired in fiscal 1999 except as to outstanding non-qualified stock options. The 1994 Plan provided that the option exercise price for stock options may not have been less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant and unexercised options expire no later than ten years after date of grant. Options issued under the 1994 Plan during fiscal 2000 vested 50% at issuance and 50% one year from issuance; options issued under the 1994 Plan during fiscal 1999 vested immediately; and all other options issued under the 1994 Plan vested two years from the date of issuance.

In December 1999, AMCE adopted a stock option and incentive plan for Outside Directors (the "1999 Outside Directors Plan"). This plan, which was terminated in fiscal 2004 except as to outstanding awards, provided for a one-time grant to outside directors of non-qualified stock options and permitted directors to receive up to all of their annual cash retainer in options in lieu of cash. The 1999 Outside Directors Plan provided that the option exercise price for stock options be equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant and unexercised options expire no later than ten years after date of grant. Options issued under the 1999 Outside Directors Plan during fiscal 2002 and 2001 vest one year from the date of issuance.

In December 1999, AMCE adopted a stock option and incentive plan (the "1999 Plan"). This plan expired in fiscal 2003 except as to outstanding non-qualified stock options and grants of restricted stock awards. The 1999 Plan provided that the option exercise price for stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant and unexercised options expire no later than ten years after date of grant. Options issued under the 1999 Plan during fiscal 2003 and 2002 vest 50% one year from issuance and 50% two years from issuance.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company's Shareholders approved and the Company adopted the 2003 AMC Entertainment Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2003 LTIP"). The 2003 LTIP provides for five basic types of awards: (i) grants of stock options which are either incentive or non-qualified stock options, (ii) grants of restricted stock awards, (iii) grants of deferred stock units, (iv) grants of deferred cash awards and (v) performance grants which may be settled in stock options, shares of common stock, restricted stock, deferred stock units, deferred cash awards, or cash, or any combination thereof. The number of shares of Common Stock which may be sold or granted under the plan may not exceed 6,500,000 shares. The 2003 LTIP provides that the option exercise price for stock options may not be less than the fair market value of stock at the date of grant, options may not be repriced and unexercised options expire no later than ten years after date of grant. No options have been issued under the 2003 LTIP as of April 1, 2004.

On September 18, 2003, the Board of Directors made performance grants with award opportunities having an aggregate value of $10,124,000. These grants are subject to the satisfaction of performance measures during fiscal 2004 and/or the exercise of discretion by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Performance grants will be settled with up to $1,657,000 in deferred cash awards and the balance (up to $8,467,000) in deferred stock units, which will entitle the holder to one share of Common Stock for each deferred stock unit at the end of a deferral period. The number of deferred stock units issuable in connection with these performance grants will be based on the average closing prices of the Company's common stock over the ten trading days ending on the last day of the fiscal year. With an average price of $15.12, the average closing stock price over the ten trading days ending on April 1, 2004, up to 559,987 deferred stock units could be issuable with respect to fiscal 2004 if all performance measures

are met and all discretionary awards are made. The deferred stock units will be subject to three-year vesting and deferral periods which will run concurrently. Participants may elect to further defer receipt for specified periods after the end of the initial three year deferral period. Expenses related to the awards will be recognized over the service period in fiscal 2004.

The Company has recorded $8,021,000 and $1,605,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities related to grants of deferred stock units and deferred cash awards, respectively, under the 2003 LTIP as of April 1, 2004. On June 11, 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the accrued distributions under the 2003 LTIP.

On May 13, 2002, the Company granted stock awards on 170,710 shares of Common Stock with a fair value of $2,593,000 which vest 50% one year from issuance and 50% two years from issuance. As of April 1, 2004, 11,497 of these shares were forfeited prior to vesting.

The Company recognized $706,000 and $2,011,000 of compensation expense during fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to stock awards.

The Company's federal income tax loss carryforward of $97,500,000 will begin to expire in 2019 and will completely expire in 2022 and will be limited to approximately $17,800,000 annually due to the sale of Preferred Stock and the acquisition of GC. The Company's state income tax loss carryforwards of $38,800,000 may be used over various periods ranging from 5 to 20 years.

The Company's foreign subsidiaries had losses before income taxes of $20,900,000, $30,000,000 and $17,500,000 during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

As of April 1, 2004, management believed it was more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets related to non-current state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards and non-current foreign temporary differences would not be realized due to uncertainties as to the timing and amounts of future taxable income. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions of $25,947,000 and a partial valuation allowance of $538,000 related to state net operating loss carryforwards as of April 1, 2004.

The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $26,485,000, $20,592,000, $10,254,000, $9,361,000 and $4,330,000 as of April 1, 2004, April 3, 2003, March 28, 2002, March 29, 2001 and March 30, 2000, respectively. All changes in the valuation allowance were recorded in the income tax provision except for $2,600,000 which was recorded in loss from discontinued operations in the year ended March 28, 2002.

Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will generate future taxable income to realize its recorded deferred tax assets. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the future if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

NOTE 10—LEASES

The majority of the Company's operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging generally from 10 to 25 years, with certain leases containing options to extend the leases for up to an additional 20 years (see Note 16—Related Party Transactions). The leases provide for fixed rentals and/or rentals based on revenues with a guaranteed minimum. The majority of the leases provide that the Company will pay all, or substantially all, taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses. Assets held under capital lease obligations are included in property.

During fiscal 1998, the Company sold the real estate assets associated with 13 theatres to Entertainment Properties Trust ("EPT") for an aggregate purchase price of $283,800,000 (the "Sale and Lease Back Transaction"). The Company leased the real estate assets associated with the theatres from EPT pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases with terms ranging from 13 to 15 years at an initial lease rate of 10.5% with options to extend for up to an additional 20 years. The leases are triple net leases that require the Company to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the theatres, such as taxes and other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, service, maintenance and any ground lease payments. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a sale and leaseback in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98 Accounting for Leases. The land and building improvements have been removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and a gain of $15,130,000 on the sales has been deferred and is being amortized to rent expense over the life of the leases. During fiscal 2000, the Company sold the building and improvements associated with one of the Company's theatres to EPT for proceeds of $17,600,000 under terms similar to the above Sale and Leaseback Transaction. During fiscal 2002, the Company sold the land at this theatre to EPT for proceeds of $7,500,000 under terms similar to the above Sale and Leaseback Transaction and at an initial lease rate of 10.75%. During fiscal 2003, the Company sold the real estate assets associated with 2 theatres to EPT for proceeds of $43,665,000 and then leased the real estate assets associated with these theatres pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases with terms of 20 years at an initial lease rate of 11% with options to extend for up to an additional 15 years. On March 30, 2004, the Company sold the real estate assets associated with 3 theatres to EPT for proceeds of $63,911,000 and then leased the real estate assets associated with these theatres pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases with terms of 20 years at an initial lease rate of 9.5% with options to extend for up to 15 additional years. The Company currently has 2 theatre locations that it believes could be sold and leased back for estimated proceeds of $52,000,000 should the Company elect to do so, and if allowed under the financial covenants of its existing debt instruments.

Following is a schedule, by year, of future minimum rental payments required under existing operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year and provisions to repurchase certain theatre equipment and leasehold improvements as of April 1, 2004:

(In thousands)	Minimum operating lease payments		FF&E and Leasehold Repurchase Provisions		Total

Total minimum payments required	$	4,094,452	$	25,292	$	4,119,744

The Company has also entered into agreements to lease space for the operation of theatres not yet fully constructed. The future minimum rental payments required under the terms of these leases included above total approximately $89,000,000. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Included in long-term liabilities as of April 1, 2004 and April 3, 2003 is $113,171,000 and $112,842,000, respectively, of deferred rent representing pro rata future minimum rental payments for leases with scheduled rent increases and unfavorable lease liabilities acquired from GC.

NOTE 11—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan generally covering all employees age 21 or older who have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Under the plan, benefits are integrated with Social Security and paid to participants at retirement based primarily upon years of credited service with the Company (not exceeding thirty-five) and the employee's highest five year average compensation. Contributions to the plan reflect benefits attributed to employees' services to date, as well as services expected to be earned in the future. The Company expects to contribute $1,541,000 to the defined benefit pension plan during fiscal 2005. Plan assets are invested in pooled separate accounts with an insurance company pursuant to which the plan's benefits are paid to retired and terminated employees and the beneficiaries of deceased employees. The Company also sponsors two non-contributory nonqualified deferred compensation plans which provide additional pension benefits to certain eligible employees.

The Company currently offers eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan (medical and dental) and a life insurance plan. Employees may become eligible for these benefits at retirement provided the employee is at least age 55 and has at least 15 years of credited service after age 40. The health plan is contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. The accounting for the health plan currently anticipates future modifications to the cost-sharing provisions to provide for retiree premium contributions of approximately 20% of total premiums, increases in deductibles and co-insurance at the medical inflation rate and coordination with Medicare. The retiree health plan is not funded. The Company is amortizing the transition obligation on the straight-line method over a period of 20 years.

During fiscal 2003, the Company acquired GC including its defined benefit pension plan (See Note 2—Acquisition). The fair value of plan assets acquired was $21,488,000 and the benefit obligation assumed was $15,550,000.

During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded postretirement obligations of $6,676,000 related to the GC acquisition.

The measurement date used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits is January 1 of the fiscal year for which measurements are made. The assumptions to determine benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the one qualified and two nonqualified pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $67,477,000, $51,421,000 and $39,833,000, respectively, as of April 1, 2004; and $54,297,000, $41,533,000 and $34,251,000, respectively, as of April 3, 2003.

For its Defined Benefit Pension Plan investments, the Company employs a long-term risk-controlled approach using diversified investment options with minimal exposure to volatile investment options like derivatives. The Company uses a diversified allocation of equity, debt, and real estate exposures that are customized to the Plan's cash flow benefit needs with a current target asset allocation of 60% equity securities, 32% debt securities and 8% real estate investments. The percentage of plan assets by category for fiscal 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

	April 1, 2004	April 3, 2003
Equity Securities	62%	62%
Debt Securities	30%	30%
Real Estate Investments	8%	8%

	100%	100%

The expected rate of return on plan assets was 8.50% for fiscal 2004 and 2003. The rate used is based upon analysis of actual returns on plan assets in prior years including analysis provided by the Plan Administrator.

The following table provides investments of the defined benefit pension plan by security type:

		Pension Assets

	Small Company Equity		2,096		3,393
	International Equity		4,044		3,825
	Preferred Securities		1,176		1,031

Fair value of plan assets		$	39,833	$	34,251

For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits assumed for 2004 was 11.0% for medical and 4.0% for dental. The rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.0% for medical in 2009 and 3.0% for dental in 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of April 1, 2004 by $2,686,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for fiscal 2004 by $322,000. Decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement obligation for fiscal 2004 by $2,206,000 and the aggregate service and interest cost components of postretirement expense for fiscal 2004 by $260,000.

See Note 1 New Accounting Pronouncements to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.

The Company sponsors a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering eligible employees after one year of service and age 21. From the inception of the savings plan and until December 31, 2001, the Company matched 50% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 6% of the employee's pay (i.e., a maximum match of 3%). Effective January 1, 2002, the Company began matching 100% of each eligible employee's elective contributions up to 3% of the employee's compensation and 50% of each eligible employee's elective contributions on the next 2% of the employees pay. The Company's expense under the 401(k) savings plan was $2,175,000, $2,007,000 and $1,591,000 for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company's on-screen advertising subsidiary (NCN) operates its advertising program through agreements with theatre circuits. These circuit agreements stipulate the amount of circuit payments a theatre will receive for running on-screen slides, on-film programs and other related in-theatre products and services. The Company's circuit agreements have terms of 1 to 5 years, with an annual cancellation provision included in select agreements. Certain circuits have agreements requiring an annual minimum exhibitor share payment. The Company recognizes the minimum exhibitor share payments as an expense on a straight line basis over the terms of the agreements. NCN's total future exhibitor share commitment as of April 1, 2004, totals $17,682,000, which will be paid over the next 3 years.

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to various legal actions. Except as described below, management believes that the potential exposure, if any, from such matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company.

United States of America v. AMC Entertainment Inc. and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (No. 99-01034 FMC (SHx), filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). On January 29, 1999 the Department of Justice (the "Department") filed suit alleging that the Company's stadium-style theatres

violate the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleges that the Company has failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines of sight comparable to the general public. The Department alleges various non-line of sight violations as well. The Department seeks declaratory and injunctive relief regarding existing and future theatres with stadium-style seating, compensatory damages in the approximate amount of $75,000 and a civil penalty of $110,000.

On November 20, 2002, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on the line of sight aspects of the case. The trial court ruled that wheelchair spaces located solely on the sloped floor portion of the stadium-style auditoriums fail to provide lines of sight comparable to the general public. The trial court did not address specific changes that might be required of the Company's existing stadium-style auditoriums, holding that per se rules are simply not possible because the requirements of comparable lines of sight will vary based on theatre layout. The Company filed a request for interlocutory appeal on January 23, 2003. The trial court denied the Company's request but postponed any further line of sight proceedings pending the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling in a case with similar facts and issues, Oregon Paralyzed Veterans of America v. Regal Cinemas, Inc. In Regal, the Oregon District Court held that the exhibitor had provided comparable lines of sight to its wheelchair-bound patrons. On August 13, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the Oregon District Court. Regal filed its Petition for Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court on October 27, 2003. The Supreme Court is expected to grant or deny certiorari this fall. The Company's line of sight proceedings are postponed pending Regal's outcome before the Supreme Court.

The Company has recorded a liability related to estimated losses for the Department of Justice line-of-sight aspect of the case in the amount of $179,350 (comprised primarily of compensatory damages and the civil penalty) and estimates the range of loss to be between $179,350 and $273,938 at this time. An estimate of the cost of any betterments that might be required related to the line-of-sight aspect of the case cannot be made at this time and will depend on Regal's petition for certiorari to the United States Supreme Court.

On January 21, 2003, the trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the Department on non-line of sight aspects of the case, which involve such matters as parking areas, signage, ramps, location of toilets, counter heights, ramp slopes, companion seating and the location and size of handrails. In its non-line of sight decision, the trial court concluded that the Company has violated numerous sections of the ADA and engaged in a pattern and practice of violating the ADA.

On December 5, 2003 a consent order and final judgment on non-line of sight issues was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The consent order and final judgment resolves matters regarding the non-line of sight aspects of the case. Under the terms of the consent order and final judgment, the Company agreed to remedy certain violations at twelve stadium-style theatres surveyed by the Department. Additionally, the Company has agreed to survey and make required betterments for its patrons with disabilities at 101 stadium-style theatres across the country and at certain theatres it may open or acquire in the future. The Company has not recorded any losses for the consent order and final judgment related to the non-line of sight aspects of the case. The Company estimates that the cost of these betterments will be $21.0 million, which is expected to be incurred over the term of the consent order of five years. The estimate is based on deviations at the twelve theatres surveyed by the Department. The actual cost of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

Conrad Grant v. American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and DOES 1 to 100; Orange County California Superior Court, Case No: 03CC00429. On September 26, 2003, plaintiff filed this suit as a proported class action on behalf of himself and other current and former "senior managers", "salary operations managers" and persons holding similar positions who claim that they were improperly classified by the Company as exempt employees over the prior four years. Plaintiff alleges violations of the California Labor Code and unfair business practices and seeks (i) overtime pay, (ii) pay for meal and rest periods, (iii) statutory penalties, including (a) penalties of up to $100 per underpaid employee per pay period in which he or she

was underpaid or any other violation and (b) waiting time penalties of up to 30 days wages for former employees, (iv) prejudgment interest, (v) attorneys fees and (vi) costs. Plaintiff also seeks declaratory and injunctive relief.

In addition to the cases noted above, the Company, is also currently a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including concession suppliers and motion picture distributors), landlords and suppliers and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Except as described above, management believes that the ultimate outcome of such other matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. An unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. v. Midwest Drywall Company, Inc., Haskell Constructors, Ltd. et al. (Case No. 00CV84908, Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri) and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. v. Bovis Construction Corp. et al. (Civil Action No. 0207139, Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania). The Company is the plaintiff in these and related suits in which we seek to recover damages from the construction manager, the architect, certain fireproofing applicators and other parties to correct the defective application of certain fireproofing materials at 23 theatres. The Company currently estimates its claim for repair costs at these theatres will aggregate approximately $36,100,000, of which it has expended approximately $23,400,000 through the end of fiscal 2004. The remainder is for projected costs of repairs yet to be performed. The Company also is seeking additional damages for lost profits, interest and legal and other expenses incurred.

Certain parties to the Missouri litigation have filed counterclaims against the Company, including Ammon Painting Company, Inc. which asserts claims to recover monies for services provided in an amount not specified in the pleadings but which it has expressed in discovery to aggregate to approximately $950,000. The Company currently estimates that its claim against Ammon is for approximately $6,000,000. Based on presently available information, the Company does not believe such matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. During the fifty-two weeks ended April 1, 2004 the Company received settlement payments of $925,000 related to two theatres from various parties in connection with this matter. On May 18, 2004 the Company received additional settlement payments of $2,310,020 from various parties in connection with this matter.

NOTE 13—THEATRE AND OTHER CLOSURE AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

The Company has provided reserves for estimated losses from theatres which have been closed and from terminating the operation of fast food and other restaurants operated adjacent to certain of the Company's theatres. During fiscal 2004, the Company terminated operation of 16 North American theatres with 124 screens. As of April 1, 2004, the Company has reserved $17,870,000 for lease terminations which have either not been consummated or paid, related primarily to three of these North American theatres with 20 screens and vacant restaurant space. The Company is obligated under long-term lease commitments with remaining terms of up to 16 years for theatres which have been closed. As of April 1, 2004, base rents aggregated approximately $8,096,000 annually and $23,270,000 over the remaining terms

of the leases. A rollforward of reserves for theatre and other closure and the discontinuing operation of fast food restaurants is as follows:

NOTE 14—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value.

The carrying value of cash and equivalents approximates fair value because of the short duration of those instruments. The fair value of publicly held corporate borrowings was based upon quoted market prices. For other corporate borrowings, the fair value was based upon rates available to the Company from bank loan agreements or rates based upon the estimated premium over U.S. treasury notes with similar average maturities.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

		2004				2003
(In thousands)		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
	Cash and equivalents	$	333,248	$	333,248	$	244,412	$	244,412
Financial liabilities:
	Cash overdrafts	$	19,737	$	19,737	$	39,076	$	39,076
	Corporate borrowings		686,431		711,339		668,661		676,744

NOTE 15—OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has identified three reportable segments around differences in products and services and geographical areas. North American and International theatrical exhibition operations are identified as separate segments based on dissimilarities in international markets from North America. NCN and other is identified as a separate segment due to differences in products and services offered.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary measure is Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization and adjusted for preopening expense, theatre and other closure expense, disposition of assets and other gains, investment income, other expense, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of long-lived assets and special compensation expense. The Company evaluates Adjusted EBITDA generated by its segments in a number of manners, of which the primary measure is a comparison of segment Adjusted EBITDA to segment property, intangibles and goodwill.

The Company's segments follow the same accounting policies as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Information about the Company's operations by operating segment is as follows:

NOTE 16—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to his resignation on October 30, 2002 as successor co-trustee with shared voting powers over shares held in the Durwood Voting Trust (the "Voting Trust"), Mr. Raymond F. Beagle, Jr. may be deemed to have been a related party to the Company. He became successor co-trustee on July 14, 1999 as a result of the death of Stanley H. Durwood.

Mr. Beagle provided legal services to the Company for more than 30 years and served as general counsel under a series of retainer agreements dating back to 1986. In these agreements, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Beagle an annual retainer and to make deferred compensation payments to him over a period of years. In 1997, Mr. Beagle's retainer agreement was amended to provide for the deferral of any annual bonus paid to him, which amount was added to his deferred compensation account. The Company also agreed to annually credit Mr. Beagle's deferred compensation account with interest in an amount equal to the prime rate plus 1%. In 1997, the Company also determined to fund its deferred payment obligations to Mr. Beagle through the creation of a rabbi trust, the assets of which remain subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of its insolvency. When Mr. Beagle became a voting trustee of the Durwood Voting Trust in 1999, the amount of his deferred compensation account was approximately $2,400,000. Mr. Beagle retired as General Counsel on March 31, 2003, at which time the amount of his deferred compensation account was approximately $3,800,000. Mr. Beagle began receiving payments from his compensation account of approximately $41,255 per month (for a period of twelve years) upon retirement as general counsel on March 31, 2003. The monthly payments are based on estimates of the prime interest rate over twelve years and could increase or decrease depending on changes in that rate.

Amounts paid by the Company to Mr. Beagle as a retainer for serving as General Counsel were $0 in fiscal 2004, $450,000 in fiscal 2003 and $400,000 in fiscal 2002. Deferred bonuses awarded to Mr. Beagle, which awards were made in the first quarter of each fiscal year, were $0 in fiscal 2004, $350,000 in fiscal 2003 and $150,000 in fiscal 2002.

Lathrop & Gage L.C., a law firm of which Mr. Beagle is a member, renders legal services to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company paid Lathrop & Gage L.C. $6,872,000 for its services in fiscal 2003 and $4,058,000 in fiscal 2002.

During fiscal 2003, the Company reimbursed the initial purchasers of Preferred Stock approximately $650,000 for expenses related to the acquisitions of GC Companies, Inc. and Gulf States Theatres, the issuance of the Notes due 2012 and the issuance of Common Stock and other business matters related to the Company. During fiscal 2002, the Company reimbursed the initial purchasers of Preferred Stock $3,754,000 for their issuance costs related to the Preferred Stock offering.

On December 23, 2003 the Company's Board of Directors approved payment by the Company of legal fees in the amount of $590,000 and reimbursement of other out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $170,000 on behalf of the initial purchasers of Preferred Stock. On November 18, 2003 and December 23, 2003 the Company's Board of Directors approved payment by the Company of legal fees in the amount of $190,000 on behalf of the Company's Class B Stockholder. The costs were incurred in connection with the consideration of a possible business combination between the Company and Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation.

On January 22, 2004 the Company announced that its previously announced discussions with Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation relating to a possible business combination have been terminated.

The Company leases certain of its theatres from Entertainment Properties Trust ("EPT"). The Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMCE was also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of EPT until May of 2003 at which time his term expired and he did not stand for reelection to the Board of Trustees of EPT. Payments to EPT for rent were approximately $65,000,000, $61,000,000 and $52,000,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of GST, the Company entered into leases with EPT for the real estate assets associated with the five theatres with EPT, for a term of 20 years. Of the $45,772,000 purchase price, approximately $5,800,000 was paid to EPT for specified non-real estate assets which EPT acquired from GST and resold to the Company at cost.

NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Unaudited)

On July 29, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Consent with the holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to relinquish its right to redeem the Preferred Stock during such time as an "Event of Default" (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Preferred Stock) exists and remains uncured and the holders of the Preferred Stock have exercised their right to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company pursuant to the rights granted by the Certificate of Designations.

As a result, the Company believes that there are no circumstances that would require the Preferred Stock to be redeemed for cash or other assets upon the occurrence of an event that is outside the control of the Company. The Company will continue to classify its Preferred Stock within permanent stockholders' equity in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a): Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were adequately designed and operating effectively at such time.

In reaching the conclusion set forth above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer considered the restatement of the Company's financial statements for certain prior periods, as discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the circumstances giving rise to the restatements were not reflective of any material weakness in the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, and that such disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively throughout the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

(b): Changes in internal controls.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Board has determined that Mr. Garin is independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in the American Stock Exchange listing standards applicable to audit committees. Under SEC regulations, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for purposes of section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. Further, the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose any duties, obligations or liability on such person that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification and does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

Procedures for stockholders to follow when making nominations

The Board of Directors has two nominating committees, one to nominate directors elected by holders of common stock, voting as a class, and one to nominate directors elected by holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock, voting as a class. If there is an annual meeting in 2005, stockholders who wish to recommend candidates for consideration by a nominating committee in connection with such annual meeting should submit the candidate's name and related information in writing to the chairperson of the nominating committee in care of Kevin Connor, Secretary and General Counsel by April 19, 2005. In addition to the name of the candidate, a stockholder should submit:

•: his or her own name and address as they appear on the company's records;
•: if not the record owner, a written statement from the record owner of the shares that verifies the recommending stockholder's beneficial ownership and period of ownership and that provides the record holder's name and address as they appear on the Company's records;
•: a statement disclosing whether such recommending stockholder is acting with or on behalf of any other person, entity or group and, if so , the identity of such person, entity or group;
•: the written consent of the person being recommended to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee if nominated and to serving as a director if elected; and

pertinent information concerning the candidate's background and experience, including information regarding such person required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Candidates for the Board should be a person known for his or her integrity and honesty and should have, by education or experience, knowledge or skills which may be helpful to the Board in exercising its oversight responsibilities. A sufficient number of Board members must meet the tests for independence set forth in applicable rules of the American Stock Exchange and Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to permit the Company to satisfy applicable stock exchange and legal requirements. The Board believes it is desirable for a least one Board member to be an "audit committee financial expert", as defined in Rule 401(h) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Nominees for election by the holders of Common Stock, voing as a class, must satisfy the requirements of an "Independent Director" as defined in Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and may not be or have been an officer or employee of any of the Company, Apollo, the Apollo Purchasers or any of their affiliates or any entity which derived substantial revenues from any such person. Further, such nominees may have no relationship or affiliation or compensation, consulting or contracting arrangement with the Company, Apollo, the Apollo Purchasers, the Trustees of the Durwood Voting Trust, the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation or any other entity that a reasonable person could regard as likely to be unduly influenced by any such persons.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's Executive Officers and Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the American Stock Exchange. Executive Officers, Directors and greater-than-10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that during fiscal 2004 its Executive Officers, Directors and greater-than-10% beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements except that Mr. Richard M. Fay (an Executive officer) failed to timely report on Form 4 one transaction attributable to him. Mr. Fay's spouse purchased 200 shares of the Company's Common Stock in fiscal 1999. This transaction was reported on a Form 5, which was filed on April 15, 2004.

Mr. Singleton repaid unused proceeds of $811,710, leaving a remaining unpaid principal balance of $2,953,290. Such loans were unsecured and bore interest at a rate at least equal to the applicable federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect on the date of such loan (6% per annum for the loans to Messrs. Brown and Singleton). Interest on these loans accrued and was added to principal annually on the anniversary date of such loan, and the full principal amount and all accrued interest was due and payable on the fifth anniversary of such loan. Based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, on May 13, 2002 the Company's Board of Directors approved the forgiveness of $6,921,244 of principal and accrued interest on the loan made to Mr. Peter C. Brown, together with the payment of $5,722,607 of Federal, state and payroll related taxes on his behalf, and the forgiveness of $3,616,399 of principal and accrued interest on the loan made to Mr. Philip M. Singleton, together with the payment of $2,990,103 of Federal, state and payroll related taxes on his behalf. Such loan forgiveness was effective as of June 6, 2002. Mr. Brown and Mr. Singleton agreed not to sell the shares acquired with proceeds of the loans prior to March 6, 2004.

Defined Benefit Retirement and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan which provides benefits to certain of the Company's employees based upon years of credited service and the highest consecutive five-year average annual remuneration for each participant. For purposes of calculating benefits, average annual compensation is limited by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is based upon wages, salaries and other amounts paid to the employee for personal services, excluding certain special compensation. A participant earns a vested right to an accrued benefit upon completion of five years of vesting service.

The Company also sponsors a supplemental executive retirement plan to provide the same level of retirement benefits that would have been provided under the retirement plan had the federal tax law not been changed in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, which reduced the amount of compensation which can be taken into account in a qualified retirement plan from $235,840 (in 1993), the old limit, to $205,000 (in 2004).

The following table shows the total estimated annual pension benefits (without regard to minimum benefits) payable to a covered participant under the Company's retirement plan and the supplemental executive retirement plan, assuming retirement in calendar 2003 at age 65, payable in the form of a single

life annuity. The benefits are not subject to any deduction for social security or other offset amounts. The following table assumes the old limit would have been increased to $300,000 in 2004.

300,000		43,350		57,800		72,251		86,701		101,151

As of April 1, 2004, the years of credited service under the retirement plan for each of the Named Executive Officers were: Mr. Peter C. Brown, 13 years; Mr. Philip M. Singleton—30 years; Mr. Richard T. Walsh—29 years; Mr. John D. McDonald—29 years; and Mr. Craig R. Ramsey—9 years.

The Company has established a retirement enhancement plan for the benefit of officers who from time to time may be designated as eligible participants therein by the board of directors. The retirement enhancement plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan designed to provide an unfunded retirement benefit to an eligible participant in an amount equal to (i) sixty percent (60%) of his or her average compensation (including paid and deferred incentive compensation) during the last three full years of employment, less (ii) the sum of (A) such participant's benefits under the retirement plan and social security, and (B) the amount of a straight life annuity commencing at the participant's normal retirement date attributable to the Company's contributions under the supplemental executive retirement plan, the 401(k) savings plan and the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Executive Savings Plan was terminated as of January 1, 2002 and therefore is no longer included in the computation of the retirement enhancement plan benefit. The base amount in clause (i) will be reduced on a pro rata basis if the participant completes fewer than 25 years of service. The retirement enhancement plan benefit vests upon the participant's attainment of age 55 or completion of 15 years of service, whichever is later, and may commence to a vested participant retiring on or after age 55 (who has participated in the plan for at least five years) on an actuarially reduced basis (6²/3% for each of the first five years by which commencement precedes age 65 and an additional 3¹/3% for each year by which commencement precedes age 60). Benefits commence at a participant's normal retirement date (i.e., the later of age 65 or the participant's completion of five years of service) whether or not the participant continues to be employed by the Company. The accrued benefit payable upon total and permanent disability is not reduced by reason of early commencement. Participants become fully vested in their rights under the retirement enhancement plan if their employment is terminated without cause or as a result of a change of control, as defined in the retirement enhancement plan. No death, disability or retirement benefit is payable prior to a participant's early retirement date or prior to the date any severance payments to which the participant is entitled cease.

Mr. Peter C. Brown and Mr. Philip M. Singleton have been designated as eligible to participate in the retirement enhancement plan. The estimated monthly amounts that Mr. Brown and Mr. Singleton will be eligible to receive under the retirement enhancement plan at age 65 are $88,346 and $31,995, respectively. These amounts are based on certain assumptions respecting their future compensation amounts and the amounts of the Company's contributions under other plans. Actual amounts received by such individuals under the retirement enhancement plan may be different than those estimated.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Peter C. Brown, Philip M. Singleton, Richard T. Walsh, John D. McDonald and Craig R. Ramsey each dated as of July 1, 2001. The employment agreements provide for annual base salaries of no less than the following amounts: Mr. Brown—$728,300; Mr. Singleton—$468,200; Mr. Walsh—$338,200; Mr. Ramsey—$331,500; and Mr. McDonald—$312,200. The employment agreements also provide for discretionary bonuses, an automobile allowance, reimbursement of reasonable travel and entertainment expenses and other benefits offered from time to time to other executive officers. The employment agreement of Mr. Brown has a term of five years, that of Mr. Singleton has a term of three years and those of Mr. Walsh, Mr. Ramsey and Mr. McDonald have terms of two years. On the anniversary date of each employment agreement, one year is added to its term, so that each employment agreement always has a five year, three year or two year term, as the case may be, as of each anniversary date. Each employment agreement terminates generally without severance if such employee is terminated for cause or upon such employee's resignation, each as defined in his employment agreement. The Company will pay the employee a pro rata portion of the bonus he would otherwise be eligible to receive upon termination by reason of the employee's retirement. If any of Messrs. Walsh, McDonald or Ramsey dies or is terminated without cause or following his disability or terminates his agreement subsequent to specified changes in his responsibilities, annual base salary or benefits following a change of control, each as defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to two years annual base salary. If either Mr. Brown or Mr. Singleton dies or is terminated without cause or following his disability or terminates his agreement for good reason or following a change of control, each as defined in the agreement, he will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to such employee's then annual base salary for the remainder of the term of the agreement plus the bonus such employee would be entitled to receive as if the target level had been obtained multiplied by the number of years remaining in the term of the employment agreement and (ii) a cash payment equal to the difference between (a) the value of all vested and unvested stock options granted to the employee which have an exercise price per share less than the closing price per share of the Company's Common Stock on the date of termination and (b) the exercise price of such options. The amounts payable to the Named Executive Officers under these employment agreements, assuming termination by reason of a change of control as of July 1, 2004, were as follows: Mr. Brown—$6,091,500; Mr. Singleton—$2,340,600, Mr. Walsh—$676,400, Mr. Ramsey—$663,000; and Mr. McDonald—$624,400. The values of outstanding employee stock options that would be payable to the Named Executive Officers under these employment agreements, assuming termination by reason of a change of control as of July 1, 2004, were as follows: Mr. Brown—$809,000 and Mr. Singleton—$333,000. Mr. Brown and Mr. Singleton have each waived their right to termination payments that would otherwise be payable in connection with a change of control as a result of the Merger, subject to (i) our adoption within 60 days following the consummation of the Merger of a new management stock option plan for approximately 6% of the number of fully-diluted shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of the date of the Merger and (ii) the opportunity to directly purchase our shares at or around the time of the consummation of the Merger. Mr. Brown and Mr. Singleton will be granted options to purchase approximately ¹/3 and ¹/6, respectively, of the shares initially reserved under the new option plan, at an exercise price equal to the effective per share price paid by the sponsors in the Merger. Such options will vest 20% per year subject to the executive's continued employment and will vest in full upon consummation of a change of control of us or Marquee Holdings Inc.

As permitted by the AMC Entertainment Inc. 1994 and 1999 stock option and incentive plans, stock options granted to participants thereunder provide for acceleration upon the termination of employment within one year after the occurrence of certain change of control events, whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary, or with or without cause. In addition, the compensation committee may permit acceleration upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary transactions which may not constitute a change of control.

The Company maintains a severance pay plan for full-time salaried nonbargaining employees with at least 90 days of service. For an eligible employee who is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime pay requirements, referred to as a "nonexempt eligible employee", the plan provides for severance pay in the case of involuntary termination of employment due to layoff of the greater of two week's basic pay or one week's basic pay multiplied by the employee's full years of service up to no more than twelve weeks' basic pay. There is no severance pay for a voluntary termination, unless up to two weeks' pay is authorized in lieu of notice. There is no severance pay for an involuntary termination due to an employee's misconduct. Only two weeks' severance pay is paid for an involuntary termination due to substandard performance. For an eligible employee who is exempt from the overtime pay requirements, severance pay is discretionary (at the department head/supervisor level), but will not be less than the amount that would be paid to a nonexempt eligible employee.

Compensation of Directors

The Company pays each non-employee director $65,000 annually for service on the board of directors and, in addition, $1,500 for each board meeting and $1,000 for each board committee meeting which he attends. Each director is eligible to participate in the Company's matching gift program with an annual cap of $12,000 in matching gifts per director. Directors elected by the Apollo Purchasers could elect not to receive their fees but instead could designate charitable purposes to which such fees would be applied until January 1, 2004. Subsequent to January 1, 2004, directors fees are paid in cash.

Following the consummation of the Merger, entities controlled by Apollo and J.P.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, Marquee Holdings Inc. and Marquee Inc. The consummation of the Merger is subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable law) by the Company, Marquee Holdings Inc. or Marquee Inc., as the case may be, of the following conditions, in addition to other customary conditions:

•: the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act shall have expired or been terminated; and
•: the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement shall be true and correct, with certain customary qualifications.

In addition, under separate agreements and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Apollo Group and the Durwood Voting Trust, two significant shareholders of the Company, have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by the parties for various reasons set forth therein, including if the Merger is not consummated prior to January 31, 2005.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company seeks to ensure that all transactions with related parties are fair, reasonable and in its best interest. In this regard, generally the Company's board of directors or one of its committees reviews material transactions between the Company and related parties to determine that, in their best business judgment, such transactions meet that standard. The Company believes that each of these transactions was on terms at least as favorable to the Company as could have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Set forth below is a description of significant transactions which have occurred since April 4, 2003 or which involve obligations that remain outstanding as of April 1, 2004.

In connection with the Company's 1997 merger with Durwood, Inc., the Company agreed to pay Mr. Stanley H. Durwood's estate any credit amounts arising after March 31, 2000 that result from net tax benefits that the Company realizes from the utilization of alternative minimum tax credit carry-forwards and Missouri operating loss carry-forwards of Durwood, Inc. The maximum amount of credit amounts that could be paid to Mr. Durwood's estate is approximately $1.1 million. As of April 1, 2004, the Company has not realized any of Durwood, Inc.'s net tax benefits on the tax returns it has filed since 1998.

The Company leases certain of its theatres from Entertainment Properties Trust ("EPT"). Mr. Peter C. Brown, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMCE was also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of EPT until May of 2003 at which time his term expired and he did not stand for reelection to the Board of Trustees of EPT. Payments to EPT for rent were approximately $65,000,000 in fiscal 2004.

During fiscal 2004, the Company sold the real estate assets associated with 3 theatres to EPT for an aggregate purchase price of $63,911,000 (the "Sale and Lease Back Transaction") and then leased the real estate assets associated with the theatres from EPT pursuant to non-cancelable operating leases with terms of 20 years at an initial lease rate of 9.5% with options to extend for up to an additional 15 years. The leases are triple net leases that require the Company to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the theatres, such as taxes and other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, service, maintenance and any ground lease payments.

On December 23, 2003 and January 29, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors approved payment by the Company of legal fees in the amount of $590,000 and reimbursement of other out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $170,000 on behalf of the Apollo Purchasers. On November 18, 2003, December 23, 2003 and May 25, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors approved payment by the Company of legal fees in the aggregate amount of $235,000 on behalf of the Company's Class B Stockholder. The costs were incurred in connection with the consideration of a possible business combination between the Company and Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation.

For a description of certain employment agreements between the Company and Messrs. Peter C. Brown, Philip M. Singleton, John D. McDonald, Richard T. Walsh and Craig R. Ramsey, see "Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements."

On April 19, 2001, we entered into an investment agreement and certain related agreements with certain affiliates of the Apollo Group. Pursuant to that agreement, we sold the Apollo Group an aggregate of 92,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and 158,000 shares of Series B exchangeable preferred stock. All outstanding Series B exchangeable preferred stock was subsequently exchanged for Series A convertible preferred stock. As of July 1, 2004, the Apollo Group owned 94.1% of our Series A convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to our agreements with the Apollo Group, we may not take certain corporate actions, including the consummation of the Merger and the issuance of these notes, without the prior consent of the Apollo Group. We refer to these approval rights granted to the Apollo Group as the "preferred stock approval rights."

On July 22, 2004, Marquee Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marquee Inc., which are newly-formed corporations organized by entities controlled by Apollo and J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC, entered into the Merger Agreement with the Company pursuant to which: (i) Marquee Inc. will merge with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marquee Holdings Inc. following the Merger and (ii) the common stockholders of the Company (including, on an as-converted basis, the holders of the Company's preferred stock and Class B Stock) will receive $19.50 per share in cash in exchange for their shares in the Company. Following the consummation of the Merger, entities controlled by Apollo and J.P. Morgan Partners LLC will own substantially all of the outstanding stock of Marquee Holdings Inc. and will control the boards of directors of Marquee Holdings Inc. and the Company.

The Apollo Group has consented to the Merger for purposes of its preferred stock approval rights. See "Apollo and Durwood voting agreements" below. In connection with the Merger, stockholders affiliated with Apollo will receive up to an aggregate amount of cash proceeds for their AMCE shares of approximately (i) $869.8 million if the Merger is consummated on or after October 1, 2004 up to and including December 31, 2004, including $85.7 million attributable to one-time "in-kind" distributions payable to such stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock, and (ii) due to the timing of dividend payments at the end of each calendar quarter for the Series A convertible preferred stock, $855.3 million if the Merger is consummated on or after January 1, 2005 up to and including January 31, 2005, including $71.3 million attributable to one-time "in-kind" distributions payable to Apollo pursuant to the terms of the Series A convertible preferred stock. Additionally, Apollo and JPMorgan Partners, as sponsors of the transaction, will receive $20.0 million in the aggregate in payment of transaction fees in connection with the transactions. Upon consummation of the Merger, J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and Apollo will own a majority, and certain members of management will own a portion, of the voting stock of Marquee Holdings Inc., and Marquee Holdings Inc. will own all of our common stock.

Apollo and Durwood voting agreements

In connection with the Merger and related financing transactions, we entered into voting agreements with the Apollo Group and certain of its affiliates as well as the Durwood Voting Trust. Under each of their respective agreements, the Apollo Group and the Durwood Voting Trust each agreed to vote, with respect to the Apollo Group and its affiliates, their respective shares of common stock, including any common stock received upon the conversion of preferred stock and, with respect to the Durwood Voting Trust, its shares of Class B common stock, in favor of the Merger and related transactions and against any action that the Apollo Group or the Durwood Voting Trust, as the case may be, is aware would result in a breach of the Merger Agreement or would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition to the Merger Agreement. The Company also granted a waiver of certain restrictions under existing agreements, allowing the Apollo Group to convert their shares of preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to the Merger in accordance with the Company's certificate of designations relating to the preferred stock. In addition, pursuant to the Apollo Group voting agreement, the Apollo Group has consented to the Merger for purposes of its "preferred stock approval rights" granted to it pursuant to the April 2001 investment agreement. Both of the Apollo Group and Durwood voting agreements terminate in the event the Company's Independent Committee or Board of Directors changes its recommendation of the Merger to the shareholders or in the event the Merger Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

Tax sharing agreement

The Company will enter into a tax sharing agreement with Marquee Holdings Inc. under which it will make cash payments to Marquee Holdings Inc. to enable it to pay any (i) Federal, state or local income taxes to the extent that such income taxes are directly attributable to the Company's or its subsidiaries' income and (ii) franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain Holdings' legal existence as well as up to $3.5 million in any fiscal year to permit Marquee Holdings Inc. to pay its corporate overhead expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business and salaries or other compensation of employees who perform services for both the Company and Marquee Holdings Inc.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit And Certain Other Fees Paid To Accountants

The following table shows the fees that the Company was billed for the audit and other services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for fiscal years 2004 and 2003. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and determined they were compatible. The Audit Committee has the sole

right to engage and terminate the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, to pre-approve their performance of audit services and permitted non-audit services, and to approve all audit and non-audit fees.

Type of Fee		2004		2003
Audit Fees		$	499,426	$	443,244
Audit-Related Fees			749,096		195,736
Tax Fees			906,942		648,032
All Other Fees			447,130		903,988

	Total	$	2,602,594	$	2,191,000

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by its independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm's independence. The policies provide general pre-approval for certain types of services, as well as approved costs for those services. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval unless the Audit Committee specifies otherwise. Any costs or services that are not given general pre-approval require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The policy directs that, if management must make a judgment as to whether a proposed service is a pre-approved service, management should seek approval of the Audit Committee before such service is performed.

Requests to provide services that requires specific approval by the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and management, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.

The policies provide that de minimis services, consisting of audit-related, tax and other services, which were not recognized by the Company to be non-audit services at the time the outside auditor was engaged to perform them are permitted. However, the aggregate amount of all such services may not exceed more than the lesser of 5% of annual fees paid to the outside auditor or $50,000, for a particular engagement. These de minimis services may be performed without pre-approval, provided that they are approved by the Audit Committee or delegated member prior to completion of the engagement and are otherwise provided in accordance with regulations issued pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There were no fees that related to audit-related, tax and other services for which the pre-approval requirement was waived under the de minimis exception for fiscal year 2004.

Audit Fees

This category includes the audit of the Company's annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees

This category consists of assurance and related services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and are not reported above under "Audit Fees". The services for the fees disclosed under this category include other accounting, consulting and employee benefit plan audits.

Tax Fees

This category consists of professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for tax preparation and tax compliance.

All Other Fees

This category consists of services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for technical tax advice.
