PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.                        Financial Statements. (Unaudited)

Restatement of Financial Statements

In connection with an ongoing review of its quarterly mark-to-market accounting for its liability classified stock option awards, the Company determined that its financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 needed to be restated to correct the following items:

Stock Option Awards

The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, however its parent, Marquee Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), granted options on December 23, 2004 to certain members of management to purchase Holdings stock.  Because the employees to whom the options were granted are employed by the Company, the Company has reflected the stock-based compensation expense associated with the options within its consolidated statements of operations. Due to the existence of certain put options, at the time the stock options were granted, the Company determined that the stock options for two members of management should be recorded as liabilities with changes in the estimated fair value of those options recorded through a charge or credit to the statement of operations. Holdings also has a call option relating to the options (and the underlying shares) similar to the call option referred to above.

During February 2007, the Company determined that the options held by one member of management that were previously recorded as a liability should have been recorded as a component of permanent equity because Holdings does not intend to exercise its call option on the vested options (or shares obtained upon exercise of the options) and since the put option on the vested options (or shares obtained upon exercise of options) is not within the employee's control. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 to reverse the previously recorded mark to market effects relating to the stock options awarded to this member of management that had been incorrectly classified as liabilities and to reflect these options as additional paid-in capital (rather than as liabilities). There was no impact on net cash provided by operating activities as a result of the above mentioned items.

The Company has restated its financial statements for the thirteen week period ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 to record the net effect of the adjustments referred discussed above. The net effects of the adjustments recorded to restate the financial statements are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Reclassification for Discontinued Operations

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended December 28, 2006, we have divested of certain operations that met the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to reclassify previously reported prior period financial statements to reflect the discontinued operations on a basis comparable to the current presentation. Generally accepted accounting principles require our financial statements that were included in our fiscal 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K to be updated for discontinued operations in our fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have previously provided certain financial information that has been revised in advance of filing our fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K in our Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2007 and our Form 8-K/A as filed on April 16, 2007. Annual Report on Form 10-K in our Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2007. The historical financial information included herein has been revised and updated from its original presentation to incorporate the following:

·       the reclassification of the results of operations for certain assets which we sold on May 11, 2006, that meet the criteria for discontinued operations to be presented as such in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and the addition to Note 3 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, Financial Statements (unaudited);

·       reclassifications in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

The information included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is presented in connection with the changes described above. The information, with respect to the reclassification for discontinued operations, contained in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is presented for the thirteen weeks ended as of June 29, 2006, and except as indicated above with respect to restatements, this information has not been updated to reflect financial results subsequent to that date or any other changes since the date of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 22, 2007. Other than the reclassification and footnote disclosures discussed above related to the reclassification for discontinued operations and the changes related to the restatements discussed above there is no change to the Company’s previously reported consolidated operating results.  There is no change to the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial condition or cash flows except as discussed above related to the restatement.  Therefore, this filing should be read together with other documents we have filed with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the original Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2007 and our Form 8-K/A as filed on April 16, 2007.  Information in such reports and documents updates and supersedes certain information contained in this document.

AMC ENTERTAINMENT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 29, 2006
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMCE” or the “Company”) is an intermediate holding company which, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and its subsidiaries Grupo Cinemex, S.A. de C.V. (“Cinemex”) and AMC Entertainment International, Inc. (“AMCEI”) and its subsidiaries, is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres located in the United States and Canada (“U.S. and Canada” formerly, North American theatrical exhibition) and in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, China (Hong Kong), France, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Company discontinued its operations in Japan during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition business is conducted through AMC and AMCEI. The Company’s International theatrical exhibition business is conducted primarily through Cinemex and AMCEI. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Merger with Loews on January 26, 2006.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in response to the requirements of Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year (52 weeks) ended March 30, 2006. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, results for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending March 29, 2007.

The March 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the 10-K/A, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Restatement:   In connection with an ongoing review of its quarterly mark-to-market accounting for its liability classified stock option awards, the Company determined that its financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 needed to be restated to correct the following items:

Stock Option Awards

The Company has no stock-based compensation arrangements of its own, however its parent, Holdings, granted options on December 23, 2004 to certain members of management to purchase Holdings stock.  Because the employees to whom the options were granted are employed by the Company, the Company has reflected the stock-based compensation expense associated with the options within its consolidated statements of operations. Due to the existence of certain put options, at the time the stock options were granted, the Company determined that the stock options for two members of management should be recorded as liabilities with changes in the estimated fair value of those options recorded through a charge or credit to the statement of operations. Holdings also has a call option relating to the options (and the underlying shares) similar to the call option referred to above.

During February 2007, the Company determined that the options held by one member of management that were previously recorded as a liability should have been recorded as a component of

permanent equity because Holdings does not intend to exercise its call option on the vested options (or shares obtained upon exercise of the options) and since the put option on the vested options (or shares obtained upon exercise of options) is not within the employee’s control. Accordingly, the Company has restated its financial statements as of and for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 to reverse the previously recorded mark to market effects relating to the stock options awarded to this member of management that had been incorrectly classified as liabilities and to reflect these options as additional paid-in capital (rather than as liabilities). There was no impact on net cash provided by operating activities as a result of the above mentioned items.

The Company has restated its financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and as of March 30, 2006 to record the net effect of the adjustments referred discussed above. The net effects of the adjustments recorded to restate the financial statements are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)          As discussed in this Note, the Company restated its financial statements for stock option awards.

(2)          As discussed in Note 3—Discontinued Operations, the Company classified the results of operations of its Iberia theatres as discontinued operations during the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2006. As a result conforming classifications are made for these periods. The reclassification for discontinued operations was not an error in the prior financial statements, rather it was performed to be consistent with the treatment in the annual financial statements.

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.

12




Assets held for Sale:   In conjunction with the Merger (see Note 2), the Company entered into a Final Judgment with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and judgments and consent decrees with various States. These judgments and decrees require the Company to hold separate and divest itself of certain theatres. As a result, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities of these theatres as held for sale. The Company sold 4 of these theatres during the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2006.

Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its consolidated operations in Spain and Portugal and as a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of these theatres as held for sale as of March 30, 2006. These sales were subsequently consummated on May 11, 2006.

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

On June 20, 2005, Marquee Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company of AMCE, entered into a merger agreement with LCE Holdings, Inc. (“LCE Holdings”), the parent of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation (“Loews”), pursuant to which LCE Holdings merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the holding company for the merged businesses, and Loews merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing after the merger (the “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”). The transaction closed on January 26, 2006. Upon completion of the Mergers, the stockholders of Holdings immediately prior to the Mergers, including affiliates of J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and Apollo Management, L.P., held approximately 60% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings, and the stockholders of LCE Holdings immediately prior to the Merger, including affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors (collectively with J.P. Morgan Partners, LLC and Apollo Management, L.P., the “Sponsors”), held approximately 40% of the outstanding capital stock of Holdings.

The Company has accounted for the Merger as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, for an estimated purchase price of $540,671,000. Results of operations of Loews are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from January 26, 2006. The acquisition included 112 theatres with 1,308 screens in the United States, 40 theatres with 443 screens in Mexico (Cinemex), 4 managed/joint venture theatres with 55 screens in the United States and a 50% interest in Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. operating 27 theatres with 311 screens in Spain that is accounted for using the equity method. The Merger did not constitute a change in control.

NOTE 3—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 11, 2006, the Company sold two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AMC Entertainment Espana S.A. and Actividades Multi-Cinemeas E Espectaculos, LDA (collectively “Iberia”), which owned and operated 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain and 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal, for a cash sales price of $35,446,000. At the date of the sale these operations did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations because of continuing involvement in the region through an equity method investment in Yelmo. In December 2006, the Company disposed of its investment in Yelmo, which owned and operated 27 theatres with 310 screens in Spain, for proceeds of $52,137,000. There was no gain or loss recorded on the sale of Yelmo. The investment in Yelmo was reported within other long-term assets at June 29, 2006

14




and March 30, 2006. The Company no longer has continuing involvement in the region as a result of the sale of Yelmo and the results of the operations in Iberia have been classified as discontinued operations as the Company no longer has operations or significant cash flows from the Iberia component.

Information presented for all periods reflects the discontinued classification. The results of operations of the Iberia theatres were previously reported in the Company’s International theatrical exhibition operating segment. The Company has recorded a gain on sale of Iberia of approximately $2,609,000 which is included in discontinued operations. Goodwill of $11.7 million was allocated to the Iberia theatres in connection with the sale. The Iberia assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale at March 30, 2006.

Components of amounts reflected as earnings (loss) from discontinued operations for Iberia in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented in the following table:

On June 30, 2005, the Company sold one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Japan AMC Theatres Inc., including four of its five theatres in Japan. The Company sold its remaining Japanese theatre in September 2005. The Company opened its first theatre in Japan during fiscal 1997 and since that time the Company had incurred pre-tax losses of $38,689,000, including a $4,998,000 impairment charge in fiscal 2003.

The operations and cash flows of the Japan theatres were eliminated from the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Japan theatres. The results of operations of the Japan theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification. The operations of the Japan theatres were previously reported in the Company’s International theatrical exhibition operating

segment. Components of amounts reflected as loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations during the prior fiscal year are presented in the following table:

NOTE 8—RESTRUCTURING

The Company recognizes restructuring charges based upon the nature of the costs incurred. Costs resulting from one-time termination benefits where employees are not required to render future service to receive the benefits are recognized and a liability is recorded when management commits to a plan of termination which identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their job classifications, locations, expected termination dates and when the plan is communicated to the employees and establishes the detailed terms of the benefits to be received by employees.

If employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits, the benefits are measured at the fair value of the costs and related liabilities at the communication date and are recognized ratably over the future service period from the communication date.

During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a liability of $27,090,000 related to one-time termination benefits and other costs for the displacement of approximately 230 associates in connection with the Mergers as part of purchase accounting. The Company recorded an additional $4,845,000 liability related to closures of Loews’ duplicate administrative facilities in connection with the Mergers as part of purchase accounting.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

The difference between the effective tax rate on earnings before income taxes and the U.S. federal income tax statutory rate is as follows:

(71.0

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS No. 109”), Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized, using enacted tax rates, for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Based upon the consideration of all available evidence, the Company has provided a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets recorded beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. The Company continues to record a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate realization of those assets in all taxing jurisdictions with the exception of Mexico.

The Company determines income tax expense for interim periods by applying SFAS No. 109 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, which prescribes the use of the full year’s estimated effective tax rate in financial statements for interim periods. As such, permanent differences such as state income taxes and changes in valuation allowance impact the Company’s effective tax rate. During the current period, income tax expense differed from the expected tax benefit using the U.S. federal statutory

19




tax rate of 35% primarily due to the change in valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Additionally, income tax expense reflects the net expense related to the impact of the recently enacted Texas gross margins tax. The current year disposition of Portugal and Spain operations did not have a material impact on the income tax provision as the tax benefit derived from the sale was fully offset by an increase in valuation allowance. Non-deductible goodwill relates to the goodwill disposed of with the Japan theatres, which is discussed in Note 3.

NOTE 10—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. The Company also 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 Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan.

The Company expects to make an annual pension contribution of $1,400,000 during its second fiscal quarter of 2007.

The measurement date used to determine pension and other postretirement benefits is January 1 of the fiscal year for which measurements are made.

Net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three plans during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005 consists of the following:

The Company’s reorganization activities commencing during fiscal 2005 resulted in a partial curtailment of the Company’s postretirement deferred compensation plan. The Company defers curtailment gains until they are realized and, as such, curtailment gains of $787,000 were recognized during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 AMCE’s stadium-style theatres violate the ADA and related regulations. The Department alleged that AMCE had failed to provide persons in wheelchairs seating arrangements with lines of sight comparable to the general public. The Department alleged various non-line of sight violations as well. The Department sought 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 Justice Department on the line of sight aspects of this 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 AMCE’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.

On January 10, 2006, the trial court ruled in favor of the Department regarding the appropriate remedy in the line of sight aspects of this case. In its decision, the court issued a comprehensive order regarding line of sight and other related remedies which covers the remaining line of sight issues at the majority of the Company’s existing and all of its future construction stadium-style theatres nationwide, as well as other related forms of relief sought by the United States in this action.

AMCE estimates that the cost of the betterments related to the remedies for line of sight violations of the ADA will be $20 million, which is expected to be incurred over a 4-5 year term. Additionally, the order calls for payments of $300,000 to the United States and individual complainants. AMCE has appealed the court’s order and filed its brief.

As a result of the new order AMCE estimates the range of the loss to be between $349,350 and $443,938. Accordingly, AMCE has recorded the related liability at $349,350.

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 AMCE has violated numerous sections of the ADA and engaged in a pattern and practice of violating the ADA.

On December 5, 2003, the trial court entered a consent order and final judgment on non-line of sight issues under which AMCE agreed to remedy certain violations at twelve of its stadium-style theatres and to survey and make required betterments for its patrons with disabilities at its stadium-style theatres and at certain theatres it may open in the future. Currently AMCE estimates that these betterments will be required at approximately 140 stadium-style theatres. AMC estimates that the total cost of these betterments will be $47.5 million, which is expected to be incurred over the remaining term of the consent order of 2.7 years. Through June 29, 2006 AMCE has incurred approximately $7.1 million of these costs. The estimate is based on actual costs incurred on remediation work completed to date. The actual costs of betterments may vary based on the results of surveys of the remaining theatres.

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. v. Midwest Drywall Company, Inc., Haskell Constructors, Ltd. etal. (Case No. 00CV84908, Circuit Court of Platte County, Missouri) and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. v. Bovis

29




Construction Corp. et al. (Civil Action No. 0207139, Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania). AMCE is the plaintiff in these and related suits in which it seeks to recover damages from the construction manager, certain fireproofing applicators and other parties to correct the defective application of certain fireproofing materials at 21 theatres. AMCE currently estimates its claim for repair costs at these theatres will aggregate approximately $33.6 million of which it has expended approximately $27.4 million through June 29, 2006. The remainder is for projected costs of repairs yet to be performed. AMCE also is seeking additional damages for lost profits, interest and legal and other expenses incurred.

AMCE has received settlement payments from various parties in connection with this matter of $1,350,000, $935,000, $2,610,000 and $925,000 during fiscal 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. AMCE received additional settlement payments aggregating $3,850,000 subsequent to June 29, 2006 and has entered into settlement agreements with various parties providing for additional settlement payments to AMCE aggregating $7,775,000. Gain contingencies are recognized upon receipt and recorded in disposition of assets and other gains in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Metreon Arbitration. In May 1997, Loews entered into a 21-year lease with Metreon, Inc. (“Metreon”) to operate a megaplex theatre in an entertainment/retail center developed by Metreon in San Francisco. Since that theatre opened in June 1999, Loews has had a dispute with Metreon with respect to (1) construction costs that Metreon claims are Loews’ responsibility under the lease and (2) the percentage of the center occupied by the theatre and the nature, magnitude and allocation of the costs that Metreon is seeking to include as operating expenses under the lease. The amount of operating expenses claimed by Metreon to be allocable to this theatre is based upon the landlord’s assertion that Loews occupies at least 48.5% of the center. Loews asserted that it occupied substantially less of the center and that various expenses included in operating expenses charged to Loews were improper. Loews arbitrated this dispute in June 2003 and prevailed but the award was later vacated by the California Court of Appeals. Westfield Group purchased the property in April 2006 and has renewed settlement discussions with AMCE.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on us.

NOTE 14—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term should be amortized

30




over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB agreed to issue FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event, which requires companies to consider the probability of the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employees’ control (i.e., change in control, or death or disability) in determining the classification of an employee stock option or similar instrument under FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, where the award requires or permits cash settlement upon the contingent event. The FSP requires companies to classify employee stock options and similar instruments with contingent cash settlement features as equity awards provided the contingent event that permits or requires cash settlement is not considered probable of occurring. The adoption of FSP 123 R-4 did not have an impact on consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period. FSP 13-1 clarifies there is no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Accordingly, the Company is no longer able to capitalize rental costs during the construction period and began expensing them as preopening expense prior to the theatre opening date. This FSP was effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company early adopted this FSP during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 which results in recognition of preopening expense during the “rent holiday”.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. It also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. The Company is not currently contemplating an accounting change which would be impacted by SFAS 154.

Overview

We are one of the world’s leading theatrical exhibition companies. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we sold 4 theatres in Spain with 86 screens, sold one theatre in Portugal with 20 screens, sold 4 theatres with 42 screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers discussed below, closed 4 theatres with 32 screens in the U.S., opened one new theatre with 15 screens in the U.S., added 6 screens to an existing theatre in the U.S. and opened one new theatre with 9 screens in Mexico resulting in a circuit total after giving effect to the expected disposal of 6 remaining theatres with 78 screens in connection with the approval of the Mergers of 411 theatres and 5,601 screens. As of June 29, 2006, we owned, operated or had interests in 411 theatres and 5,601 screens with 82%, or 4,586 of our screens in the U.S. and Canada, and 18%, or 1,015 of our screens in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, China (Hong Kong), France, Spain and the United Kingdom.

In connection with the Mergers as discussed below, we acquired Loews on January 26, 2006, which significantly increased our size. In the Merger, we acquired 112 theatres with 1,308 screens in the United States (included in our U.S. and Canada operating segment) and 40 theatres with 443 screens in Mexico (included in our International operating segment), that are included in our consolidated results of operations from January 26, 2006. Accordingly, results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006, which include thirteen weeks of operations of the businesses we acquired, are not comparable to our results for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. For additional information about the Mergers, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I Item 1. of this Report on Form 10-Q.

On June 20, 2005, Marquee Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company of AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMCE”), entered into a merger agreement with LCE Holdings, Inc. (“LCE Holdings”), the parent of Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation (“Loews”), pursuant to which LCE Holdings merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings continuing as the holding company for the merged businesses, and Loews merged with and into AMCE, with AMCE continuing after the merger (the “Merger” and collectively, “the Mergers”). The transactions closed on January 26, 2006. Upon completion of the Mergers, the stockholders of Holdings immediately prior to the Mergers held approximately 60% of its outstanding capital stock, and the stockholders of LCE Holdings, including affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC, The Carlyle Group and Spectrum Equity Investors, immediately prior to the Mergers held approximately 40% of Holding’s outstanding capital stock.

In connection with the Merger, on January 26, 2006, AMCE entered into the following financing transactions:

·       the issuance of $325,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “Notes due 2016”);

32




·       a new senior secured credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc., Banco Nacional de México, S.A., integrante del Grupo Financiero Banamex and the lenders named therein, consisting of a $650,000,000 term loan facility and a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”);

·       the termination of AMC Entertainment’s March 25, 2004 senior secured credit facility, under which no amounts were outstanding;

·       the repayment of all outstanding amounts under Loews’ senior secured credit facility and the termination of all commitments thereunder (the “Loews Facility”); and

·       the completion of a tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer”) for all $315,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Loews’ 9.0% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

The proceeds of the financing transactions were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Loews Facility, to fund the Tender Offer, to pay related fees and expenses, and to pay fees and expenses related to the Merger.

On June 30, 2005, we sold one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Japan AMC Theatres Inc., including four of our five theatres in Japan. We sold our remaining Japan theatre on September 1, 2005. The operations and cash flows of the Japan theatres were eliminated from our ongoing operations as a result of the disposal transactions. We do not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the Japan theatres. The results of operations of the Japan theatres have been classified as discontinued operations, and information presented for all periods reflects the new classification. The operations of the Japan theatres were previously reported in our International theatrical exhibition operating segment.

We disposed of our only theatre in Hong Kong on January 5, 2006 and entered into a license agreement with the purchaser for continued use of our trademark. These operations did not meet the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations.

In May 2006, AMCEI and its subsidiary AMC Entertainment International Limited sold its interests in AMC Entertainment España S.A., which owned and operated 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain, and Actividades Multi-Cinemas E Espectáculos, LDA, which owned and operated 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal. These operations have been classified as discontinued operations as a result of our disposition of Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. (“Yelmo”) in December 2006 as we no longer have continuing involvement in the region.

In December 2006 we disposed of our equity method investment in Yelmo which owned and operated 27 theatres with 210 screens in Spain on the date of the sale.

For financial reporting purposes we have three segments, U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition (formerly, North American theatrical exhibition), International theatrical exhibition and Other, with the most significant activity in Other related to on-screen advertising.

Our U.S. and Canada and International theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre concession sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, rental of theatre auditoriums, fees and other revenues generated from the sale of gift certificates and theatre tickets and arcade games located in theatre lobbies.

Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license “first-run” motion pictures from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors.

We license films on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on either aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture or on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of

33




the picture run. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office receipts. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.

Concessions sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Concessions items include popcorn, soft drinks, candy, hot dogs and other products. We negotiate prices for our concessions products and supplies directly with concessions vendors on a national or regional basis to obtain high volume discounts or bulk rates and marketing incentives.

Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of motion picture releases by distributors. The most marketable motion pictures are usually released during the summer and the year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business can be seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

During fiscal 2006, films licensed from our ten largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 88% of our U.S. and Canada admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor’s motion pictures in any given year.

During the period from 1990 to 2005, the annual number of first-run motion pictures released by distributors in the United States ranged from a low of 370 in 1995 to a high of 535 in 2005, according to Motion Picture Association 2005 MPA Market Statistics.

We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We believe our introduction of the megaplex concept in 1995 has led to the current industry replacement cycle, which has accelerated the obsolescence of older, smaller theatres by setting new standards for moviegoers. From 1995 through March 30, 2006, AMC Entertainment and Loews added 191 theatres with 3,475 new screens, acquired 431 theatres with 3,007 screens and disposed of 666 theatres with 4,018 screens. As of June 29, 2006, approximately 69% of our screens in the U.S. and Canada were located in megaplex theatres.

Thirteen weeks Ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005

Revenues.   Total revenues increased 59.9%, or $242,032,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. This increase included approximately $203,667,000 of additional admission and concessions revenues resulting from the Merger.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition revenues increased 52.0%, or $204,345,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Admissions revenues increased 53.5%, or $142,475,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005, due to a 45.5% increase in total attendance, including the increased attendance and admissions revenues of $118,841,000 due to the Merger, and a 5.5% increase in average ticket prices. Admissions revenues at comparable theatres (theatres opened on or before April 1, 2005) increased 5.6% during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 over the comparable period last year, primarily due to a 2% increase in attendance at comparable theatres. Based upon available industry sources, box office revenues of industry comparable theatres increased 3.6% over this same period. Our admissions revenues at comparable theatres outperformed the industry primarily due to a change in the distribution and performance of films released. In certain circumstances, high grossing films cause an expansion of the overall market size due to the increase in the number of prints released. Even though our box office performance on such films increases due to the film’s popularity, the market expansion from these high grossing films can result in our overall performance against the industry being diluted. This occurred last year during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 with the release of a very popular, mainstream movie that was distributed to approximately 3,600 theatres and produced box office admissions revenues in the United States and Canada of approximately $400 million. This caused our year over year percentage change in box office during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 to be lower than the industry’s year over year percentage change. We did not experience this situation during the current thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and thus our rate of increase in admissions revenues was greater than the industry. Our improvement relative to the industry related to this change in distribution and performance of films released more than offset the continuing impact of competition from new build theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to our practice of periodically reviewing ticket prices and the discounts we offer and making selective adjustments based upon such factors as general inflationary trends and conditions in local markets. Concessions revenues increased 52.0%, or $56,233,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to a 4.5% increase in average concessions per patron related to price increases and an

36




increase in units sold per patron. Concession revenues increased by $45,374,000 due to the Merger. Other theatre revenues increased 29.8%, or $5,637,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Included in other theatre revenues are our share of on-screen advertising revenues generated by NCN and NCM. The increase in other theatre revenues was primarily due to increases in on-screen advertising revenues as a result of the Merger.

International theatrical exhibition revenues increased $43,128,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Admissions revenues increased by $23,845,000 due to the Merger. Overall, admissions revenues increased $23,211,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to an increase of 8,279,000 in total attendance, partially offset by a 51.9% decrease in average ticket price due primarily to the lower average ticket prices from the theatres acquired in Mexico. Concession revenues increased $15,673,000 (of which $15,606,000 resulted from the Merger) during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks year ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in attendance and a 1.5% increase in concessions per patron. International revenues were negatively impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Revenues from Other decreased 99.7%, or $5,441,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the contribution of NCN’s net assets to NCM on March 29, 2005 and the run-off of customer contracts. The revenues of NCN during fiscal 2006 and 2007 are related to run-off of customer contracts entered into prior to March 29, 2005. Our share of advertising revenues generated by NCM are included in U.S. and Canada Other theatre revenues.

Costs and expenses.   Total costs and expenses increased 55.2%, or $215,790,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. The effect of the Merger was an increase in total costs and expenses of approximately $175,432,000.

U.S. and Canada theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased 48.2%, or $157,912,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased 47.1%, or $69,171,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 52.9% in the current period as compared with 55.2% in the prior period due to more favorable film rental terms primarily from theatres acquired in the Merger. Concession costs increased 60.2%, or $6,793,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in concessions revenues and an increase in concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenues. As a percentage of concessions revenues, concession costs were 11.0% in the current period compared with 10.4% in the prior period. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 24.0% in the current period as compared to 24.3% in the prior period. Rent expense increased 44.2%, or $32,334,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to the Merger, which increased rent expense by $27,343,000. During the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006, we recognized $2,010,000 of theatre and other closure expense due primarily to the closure of one theatre with 8 screens and to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods. During the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005, we recognized $609,000 of theatre and other closure expense related primarily to accretion of the closure liability related to theatres closed during prior periods.

International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses increased $27,934,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks year ended June 30, 2005. Film exhibition costs increased $10,153,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in admissions revenues, partially offset by a decrease in the percentage of admissions paid to film distributors. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 44.2% in the current period as compared with 46.9% in the prior period due to the effect of

37




more favorable film rental terms in Mexico. Concession costs increased $3,701,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the increase in concession revenues and an increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenue from 22.6% in the prior period to 23.5% in the current period. This increase in concession costs as a percentage of revenues was due to the effect of higher concession costs as of percentage of concession revenues in Mexico caused by greater concession offerings with lower margins. As a percentage of revenues, theatre operating expense was 24.1% in the current period compared to 43.9% in the prior period. Theatre operating expense as a percentage of revenues in Mexico were 22.4% in the current period. Rent expense increased $4,180,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of the Merger. We continually monitor the performance of our international theatres and factors such as, changing consumer preferences for filmed entertainment in international markets and our ability to sublease vacant retail space could negatively impact operating results and result in future closures, sales, dispositions and theatre closure charges prior to expiration of underlying lease agreements. International theatrical exhibition costs and expenses were positively impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar, although this did not contribute materially to consolidated loss from continuing operations.

Costs and expenses from Other decreased 92.9%, or $5,544,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005 due to the contribution of net assets by NCN to NCM and run-off of customer contracts.

General and Administrative Expense:

Merger and acquisition costs.   Merger and acquisition costs increased $2,071,000 from $1,680,000 to $3,751,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Current year costs are primarily comprised of costs related to the Merger and other potential divestiture activities.

Management fees.   Management fees increased $750,000 during the current period. For fiscal 2007, management fees of $1,250,000 will be paid quarterly, in advance, to our Sponsors in exchange for consulting and other services.

Other.   Other general and administrative expense increased 56.3%, or $5,684,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. We incurred expense at Cinemex of $2,605,000 and increases in other salaries of $1,017,000 related to the Merger.

Restructuring Charges.   Restructuring charges were $0 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 as compared to $3,069,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. The prior period expenses are primarily related to one-time termination benefits and other costs related to the displacement of approximately 200 associates related to an organizational restructuring, which was completed to create a simplified organizational structure and contribution of assets by NCN to NCM.

Depreciation and Amortization.   Depreciation and amortization increased 77.8%, or $27,949,000, compared to the prior period, due primarily to increased asset values associated with fair value adjustments recorded as a result of the Merger.

Disposition of Assets and Other Gains.   Disposition of assets and other gains were $1,436,000 in the current period compared to $(667,000) in the prior period. The current and prior periods include $1,350,000 and $675,000, respectively, of settlements received related to fireproofing claims at various theatres (see Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies to Consolidated Financial Statements). The current period includes a loss on the U.S. dispositions as required by and in connection with the Mergers of $2,570,000.

38




Other Income.   Other income includes $1,460,000 and $1,116,000 of income related to the derecognition of stored value card liabilities where we believe future redemption to be remote, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense increased 97.5%, or $25,351,000, primarily due to increased borrowings.

On January 26, 2006, we issued $325,000,000 of 11% senior subordinated notes due 2016 (“Notes due 2016”) and secured the new Senior Secured Credit Facility for $850,000,000, of which $648,375,000 is currently outstanding as a variable rate term note. We also incurred interest expense related to debt held by Cinemex of $3,152,000 during fiscal 2007.

Investment Expense (Income).   Investment income was $322,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to expense of $540,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. Interest income increased $2,263,000 from the prior period due primarily to larger amounts of cash and equivalents available for investment. Equity in losses of non-consolidated entities were $2,157,000 in the current period compared to losses of $646,000 in the prior period. Current year equity in losses related to our investments in NCM and Yelmo Cineplex, S.L. were $1,308,000 and $1,093,000, respectively.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit).   The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $300,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 compared to a benefit of $6,400,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings (loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net.   On May 11, 2006, we sold AMC Entertainment España S.A. and Actividades Multi-Cinemeas E Espectaculos, LDA (collectively “Iberia”), including 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain and 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal. At the date of the sale these operations did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations because of continuing involvement in the region through an equity method investment in Yelmo. In December 2006, we disposed of our investment in Yelmo, including 27 theatres with 310 screens in Spain, and the results of the operations in Iberia have now been classified as discontinued operations. On June 30, 2005, we sold Japan AMC Theatres, Inc., including four theatres in Japan with 63 screens, and classified its operations as discontinued operations. The information presented for all fiscal 2007 and 2006 reflects the new classifications. See Note 3—Discontinued Operations for the components of the earnings (loss) from discontinued operations.

Net Loss.   Net loss was $8,001,000 and $27,707,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and theatre concessions sales. We have an operating “float” which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.

Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $95,889,000 and $32,670,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The increase in operating cash flows during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 is primarily due to increases in attendance and improvement in operating results, including amounts related to the Merger. We had working capital deficits as of June 29, 2006 and March 30, 2006 of $26,707,000 and $116,201,000, respectively. We have the ability to borrow against our credit facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments) and had approximately $89,000,000 and $90,000,000 available on our credit facility to meet these obligations for the periods ended June 29, 2006 and March 30, 2006, respectively.

39




During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we sold 4 theatres in Spain with 86 screens, sold one theatre in Portugal with 20 screens, sold 4 theatres with 42 screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers, closed 4 theatres with 32 screens in the U.S., opened one new theatre with 15 screens in the U.S., added 6 screens to an existing theatre in the U.S. and opened one new theatre with 9 screens in Mexico resulting in a circuit total after giving effect to the expected disposal of 6 remaining theatres with 78 screens in connection with the approval of the Mergers of 411 theatres and 5,601 screens.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows were $28,828,000 and $20,069,000, during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. As of June 29, 2006, we had construction in progress of $30,068,000. We had 7 U.S. theatres with a total of 102 screens and one Mexico theatre with 12 screens under construction on June 29, 2006 that we expect to open in fiscal 2007. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $32,843,000 and $16,072,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. We expect that our gross capital expenditures in fiscal 2007 will be approximately $141,000,000.

In May 2006, AMCEI and its subsidiary AMC Entertainment International Limited sold its interests in AMC Entertainment España S.A., which owned and operated 4 theatres with 86 screens in Spain, and Actividades Multi-Cinemas E Espectáculos, LDA, which owned and operated 1 theatre with 20 screens in Portugal for a net sales price of approximately $35,446,000.

During the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006, we sold four theatres with 42 screens in the U.S. as required by and in connection with the approval of the Mergers for an aggregate sales price of $30,667,000.

On June 30, 2005, we disposed of Japan AMC Theatres, Inc., including four theatres, for a cash sales price of $44,861,000.

We fund the costs of constructing new theatres using existing cash balances, cash generated from operations or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for a portion of the construction costs. However, we may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.

Historically, we have either paid for or leased the equipment used in a theatre. We may purchase leased equipment from lessors, if prevailing market conditions are favorable.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were $(14,181,000) and $1,459,000 during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2006 for certain information about our New Credit Facility, the Cinemex Credit Facility, our Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, Notes due 2016, Fixed Notes due 2012 and Floating Notes due 2010.

The New Credit Facility is with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions and provides financing of up to $850,000,000, consisting of a $650,000,000 term loan facility with a maturity of seven years and a $200,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity of six years. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity available for Mexican peso-denominated revolving loans, for letters of credit

40




and for swingline borrowings on same-day notice. As of June 29, 2006, we had no borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $648,375,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings, and the initial applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility is 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.125% with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin for such borrowings may be reduced, subject to AMCE attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.375% (subject to reduction upon attainment of certain leverage ratios). We will also pay customary letter of credit fees. We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. We are required to repay $1,625,000 of the term loan quarterly, beginning March 30, 2006 through September 30, 2012, with any remaining balance due on January 26, 2013.

The indentures relating to our outstanding notes allow us to incur all permitted indebtedness (as defined therein) without restriction, which includes all amounts borrowed under our credit facility. The indentures also allow us to incur any amount of additional debt as long as we can satisfy the coverage ratio of each indenture, both at the time of the event (under the indenture for the Notes due 2011) and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (under the indentures for the Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Fixed Notes due 2012 and Floating Notes due 2010). Under the indenture relating to the Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014 and 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (“Notes due 2016”), the most restrictive of the indentures, we could not borrow any amounts as of June 29, 2006 in addition to permitted indebtedness. If we cannot satisfy the coverage ratios of the indentures, generally we can incur, in addition to amounts borrowed under the credit facility, no more than $100,000,000 of new “permitted indebtedness” under the terms of the indentures relating to the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2016 notes.

The indentures relating to the above-described notes also contain covenants limiting dividends, purchases or redemptions of stock, transactions with affiliates, and mergers and sales of assets, and require us to make an offer to purchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the indentures. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indentures), we would be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding, Notes due 2016, Notes due 2011, Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, Fixed Notes due 2012 and Floating Notes due 2010 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

As of June 29, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the New Credit Facility, the Cinemex Credit Facility, the Notes due 2016, the Notes due 2011, the Notes due 2012, Notes due 2014, the Fixed Notes due 2012 and the Floating Notes due 2010.

We believe that cash generated from operations and existing cash and equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures and potential acquisitions for at least the next twelve months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the new Credit Facility and the notes.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position

41




taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We expect to adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB agreed to issue FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event, which requires companies to consider the probability of the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employees’ control (i.e., change in control, or death or disability) in determining the classification of an employee stock option or similar instrument under FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, where the award requires or permits cash settlement upon the contingent event. The FSP requires companies to classify employee stock options and similar instruments with contingent cash settlement features as equity awards provided the contingent event that permits or requires cash settlement is not considered probable of occurring. The adoption of FSP 123 R-4 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 13-1, Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period. FSP 13-1 clarifies there is no distinction between the right to use a leased asset during the construction period and the right to use that asset after the construction period. Accordingly, we are no longer able to capitalize rental costs during the construction period and began expensing them as preopening expense prior to the theatre opening date. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. We have adopted this FSP during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 which results in recognition of preopening expense during the “rent holiday”.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154), which requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. It also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle. We are not currently contemplating an accounting change which would be impacted by SFAS 154.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by AMC Entertainment Inc.

42




in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 29, 2006, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as other key members of our management. As a result of the identification of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 29, 2006.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of June 29, 2006, we identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:

·       The Company did not maintain effective internal controls to ensure that its stock-based compensation awards and management-purchased shares are appropriately recorded in its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, the Company did not appropriately and timely identify the relevant characteristic of certain put rights which resulted in the Company's failure to properly identify the appropriate financial statement classification of certain options and shares as a component of equity (as opposed to liabilities) which resulted in the inappropriate application of mark-to-market accounting and incorrect expense recognition in the income statement. This control deficiency resulted in misstatements in the consolidated financial statements for the annual and interim periods included in this filing. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in material misstatements to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company will take actions to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting surrounding the application of generally accepted accounting principles with respect to stock-based compensation and management-purchased shares for the reporting period ending March 29, 2007. Specifically, the Company will make improvements with respect to the design, precision and rigor of review controls over the application of stock-based compensation and management-purchased shares accounting in that appropriate levels of management and legal counsel now review proposed accounting for all newly issued stock-based compensation awards and management-purchased shares. Further, management will consider using a qualified independent third-party advisor, as deemed appropriate, with respect to more complex stock-based compensation transactions. In addition, the put rights associated with the stock options and underlying shares which resulted in previous awards being inappropriately classified as liabilities and subject to mark-to-mark accounting in the income statement were cancelled and terminated during the period ended March 29, 2007.

(b) Changes in internal controls.

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
