3.  LONG-TERM DEBT
 
    In conjunction with the purchase of the Film Services Group of Visual Action
Holdings plc (see Note 6) on June 5, 1997 (the FSG Acquisition), the Company
entered into a new credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with Chase Manhattan Bank
for a maximum aggregate amount of $150.0 million. The Credit Agreement provides
for a term loan in the amount of $60.0 million and a revolving credit commitment
of up to $90.0 million. Borrowings under this agreement were used to fund the
FSG Acquisition, refinance loans outstanding under the previous credit agreement
and provide funds for general corporate purposes. At September 30, 1997,
borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $60.0 million and $60.6 million for
the term loan and the revolving facility, respectively.

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
    Principal repayments under the Credit Agreement are payable quarterly
beginning March 1998 through June 2004. Interest is payable at rates equal to
the prime rate or a margin in excess of LIBOR or PIBOR, which fluctuates
directly with the Company's total debt ratio, as defined in the Credit
Agreement. The LIBOR/PIBOR rate margins range between 0.625% and 1.25%. Of the
$60.6 million outstanding under the revolving facility, $34.6 million is
outstanding as a sterling-based loan. The Company drew down an original a
portion of the facility as sterling in order to provide a natural currency hedge
against fluctuations in the U.K. pound as the FSG Acquisition increased the
Company's U.K.-based revenue to approximately 37% of total revenue at September
30, 1997, on a pro forma basis.
 
    Under the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate
protection agreement to protect the Company from LIBOR increases. The agreement
covers a notional amount of $50.0 million which expires on June 10, 1998 and
protects the Company from LIBOR increases above 7.37%. Since the floor for this
agreement is 5.50%, in the event of a LIBOR reduction below this floor, there
would be no benefit to the Company. At September 30, 1997 the interest rate
under the Credit Agreement was 7.24%. The Company believes the carrying value of
its amounts payable under this agreement approximate fair value based upon
current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms.
 
    The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets. As of September 30, 1997 the Company
had approximately $30 million available under the Revolving Credit facility. The
Credit Agreement requires that the Company meets certain financial tests and
other restrictive covenants including maintaining certain total debt, fixed
charge and interest coverage ratio levels. As of September 30, 1997, the Company
was in compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement. In
addition, the Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders is
restricted by this agreement.
 
4.  USE OF ESTIMATES AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
 
    The Company's future results could be adversely affected by a number of
factors, including without limitation, (a) a significant reduction in the number
of feature films produced; (b) competitive pressures arising from changes in
technology, customer requirements and industry standards; (c) an increase in
expenses related to new product initiatives and product development efforts; and
(d) unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.
 
5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128 (SFAS 128), EARNINGS PER SHARE, which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997. At that time the Company will be required to change the
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods. Under the new requirements, primary and fully diluted earnings per
share will be replaced with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options and will therefore be
higher than primary earnings per share. Basic earnings per share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were, respectively, $.42, $.77 and
$.37, $.53 in 1996. The impact of

5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)
SFAS 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these
periods is not expected to be material.
 
6.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
    On June 5, 1997, the Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries,
completed its acquisition of all of the share capital of Samuelson Group
Limited, a U.K. company, from Visual Action Holdings plc. In connection with
this transaction, the Company also acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Victor Duncan, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and of Visual Action Holdings
(N.Z.) Limited, a New Zealand company. The majority of the equipment acquired as
a result of these transactions included film cameras, lenses and complementary
product accessories which rent to the filmed production community. The purchase
price was approximately $61.4 million and was reduced by the amount of certain
debt assumed by the Company.
 
    The acquisition has been recorded under the purchase method of accounting
and its operating results have been included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements since the acquisition date of June 5, 1997. The purchase
price and direct acquisition costs have been allocated to the acquired assets
and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values. The Company has
also provided approximately $6.3 million to cover the estimated costs, lease
cancellations and severance pay related to the FSG acquisition. Goodwill of
approximately $8.9 million was recognized as part of the transaction and is
being amortized over 30 years. This allocation is preliminary and subject to
adjustments as the Company completes its review and evaluation of the acquired
assets and assumed liabilities through the remainder of 1997.
 
    Unaudited pro forma revenue would have increased by $25.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and by $47.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, and unaudited pro forma net income and net income per
share would have decreased by $0.2 million and $.01, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and would have increased by $1.4 million and
$0.07, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 had the
acquisition occurred at the beginning of each respective period.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS
  QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
 
    Camera rental revenue increased $12.9 million, or 53.5%, to $37.0 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $24.1 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition
of the Film Services Group of Visual Action Holdings plc on June 5, 1997 (the
FSG Acquisition), which resulted in increased camera rental revenues of $10.2
million, and from the rental of newly manufactured camera systems, specialty
lenses and accessories to supply the increased demand in the North American
independent feature film, commercial and episodic television markets as well as
the U.K. feature film and commercial markets. Revenue also increased as a result
of a small increase in rental rates.
 
    Lighting rental revenue increased $3.3 million, or 53.2%, to $9.5 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $6.2 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to improved lighting rental
revenue at Lee Lighting in the U.K. of $2.2 million and at Panavision Canada of
$0.4 million, offset by a slight decrease in lighting rental revenue at
Panavision Florida of $0.2 million. The remaining increase of $0.9 million
resulted primarily from the FSG Acquisition in June 1997.
 
    Sales and other revenue increased $3.8 million, or 69.1%, to $9.3 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $5.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG Acquisition in
June 1997, which resulted in increased sales and other revenue of $4.3 million,
offset by a decrease in sales and other revenue at Lee Lighting in the U.K. of
$0.5 million.
 
    Cost of camera rental increased $6.3 million, or 66.3%, to $15.8 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $9.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG Acquisition in
June 1997.
 
    Cost of lighting rental increased $2.7 million, or 69.2% to $6.6 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $3.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to increased cost of
lighting rental at Lee Lighting of $1.0 million and the FSG Acquisition in June
1997, which resulted in increased cost of lighting rental of $0.6 million. The
remaining increase was due to other small increases in cost of lighting rental
at Panavision Canada and Panavision Florida.
 
    Cost of sales and other increased $1.7 million, or 51.5%, to $5.0 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $3.3 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG Acquisition in
June 1997.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6.1 million, or
77.2%, to $14.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $7.9
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily
due to the FSG Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased selling,
general and administrative expenses of $5.4 million. The remaining increase was
due to small increases in operating and personnel costs throughout the Company.
 
    Research and development expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 21.4%, to $1.1
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $1.4 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily due to a change in
timing of material costs for the projects within the third quarter.
 
    Net interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 12.0%, to $2.2 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $2.5 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. The decrease was due to the difference in rates between the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 and the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

                                PANAVISION INC.
 
    Net other expense remained unchanged at $0.2 million for the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996.
 
    Income before income taxes increased $4.0 million, or 56.3%, to $11.1
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $7.1 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the factors
discussed above.
 
    The effective tax rates for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1996 were 32.0% and 20.0%, respectively. The increase in the
effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was primarily due to
the reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and a higher
effective tax rate relating to income from foreign operations.
 
    Net income increased $1.9 million, or 33.3%, to $7.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 from $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1996.
 
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
  1996
 
    Camera rental revenue increased $18.4 million, or 29.3%, to $81.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $62.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG
Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased camera rental revenue of
$13.0 million and the rental of newly manufactured camera systems, specialty
lenses and accessories to supply the increased demand in the North American
independent feature film, commercial and episodic television markets as well as
the U.K. feature film and commercial markets. Revenue also increased as a result
of a small increase in rental rates.
 
    Lighting rental revenue increased $14.7 million to $22.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $7.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Lee
Lighting in July 1996, which resulted in increased lighting rental revenue of
$10.4 million, and the FSG Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased
lighting rental revenue of $1.2 million. The remaining increase was due to an
increase in lighting rental revenue at Panavision Canada and during the third
quarter of 1997 at Lee Lighting.
 
    Sales and other revenue increased $6.6 million, or 45.2%, to $21.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $14.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG
Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased sales and other revenue of
$5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and from the
acquisition of Lee Lighting in July 1996, which resulted in increased sales and
other revenue of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
remaining increase was due to an increase in filter sales at Lee Filters.
 
    Cost of camera rental increased $9.1 million, or 33.7%, to $36.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $27.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the FSG Acquisition
in June 1997, which resulted in increased cost of camera rental of $8.0 million.
The remaining increase was due to the increased rental asset depreciation.
 
    Cost of lighting rental increased $11.4 million to $16.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Lee
Lighting in July 1996, which resulted in increased cost of lighting rental of
$8.1 million, and the FSG Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased
cost of lighting rental of $0.8 million. The remaining increase was due to
increased cost of lighting rental at Panavision Canada and Lee Lighting.
 
    Cost of sales and other increased $3.1 million, or 36.5%, to $11.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was

primarily due to the FSG Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased
cost of sales and other of $2.3 million and the acquisition of Lee Lighting in
July 1996, which resulted in increased cost of sales and other of $0.5 million.
The remaining increase was due to increased cost of filter sales at Lee Filters.
 
    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.7 million, or
49.3%, to $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $21.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was
primarily due to the FSG Acquisition in June 1997, which resulted in increased
selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.1 million, and the
acquisition of Lee Lighting in July 1996, which resulted in increased selling,
general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million. The remaining increase was
due to small increases in operating and personnel costs throughout the Company.
 
    Research and development expenses increased $0.5 million, or 15.2%, to $3.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in research and development staff and increased consulting costs
related to the Company's ongoing development projects.
 
    Net interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 23.2%, to $4.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The decrease was due to the repayment of debt
subsequent to the Company's initial public offering in November 1996.
 
    Net other income decreased $0.2 million to $0.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $0.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The decrease was due to greater gains from disposals of fixed assets
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
 
    Income before income taxes increased $10.4 million, or 103.0%, to $20.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $10.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
factors discussed above, as well as the elimination of the charge for the non-
controlling partner's interest for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, due to
the May 1996 recapitalization which eliminated the non-controlling partners'
interest.
 
    The effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1996 were 32.0% and 19.9%, respectively. The increase in the
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily
due to the reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and a
higher effective tax rate relating to income from foreign operations.
 
    Net income increased $5.9 million, or 72.8%, to $14.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.

    The Company relies primarily upon cash provided by operations to finance its
operations, repay long-term indebtedness and fund capital expenditures primarily
for manufacturing camera systems, lenses and accessories and purchasing other
rental equipment.
 
    For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, cash provided by operating
activities was $34.5 million. Net income of $14.0 million, adjusted for
depreciation and amortization of $19.3 million, provided $33.3 million, which
was increased by a source of $1.9 million, resulting from the net change in
non-cash working capital items, which was partially offset by miscellaneous
non-cash items of $0.7 million. Total investing activities of $95.2 million were
comprised of capital expenditures of $36.4 million, partially offset by $1.0
million of proceeds received from the disposition of certain equipment. The
majority of the capital expenditures were used to manufacture camera rental
systems and to purchase other rental equipment. In addition, $59.8 million was
used to complete the FSG Acquisition. Cash provided in financing activities of
$60.1 million was a result of the $68.3 million of borrowings under the Credit
Agreement, partially offset by $7.3 million of cash used as a reduction of
outstanding borrowings, and other changes of $0.9 million.
 
    For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities was $17.6 million. Net income of $8.1 million, adjusted for
depreciation and amortization of $13.7 million and the non-controlling partners'
interest of $4.5 million, provided $26.3 million, which was partially offset by
a use of $8.2 million resulting from the net change in non-cash working capital
items, and miscellaneous non-cash items of $0.5 million. Total investing
activities of $22.5 million were comprised of capital expenditures of $16.6
million, partially offset by $1.2 million of proceeds received from the
disposition of certain equipment. The majority of capital expenditures were used
to manufacture camera rental systems and to purchase other rental equipment. The
net investing activities also reflect a benefit of $1.0 million for cash on the
balance sheet of Lee Lighting which was acquired in July 1996. In addition, $8.1
million was used to acquire the non-controlling partners' interest in PILP. Cash
used in financing activities of $18.2 million was comprised of the reduction in
outstanding borrowings in connection with the recapitalization in May 1996 and
$1.5 million of distributions to taxing authorities on behalf of the partners in
PILP.
 
    Additional cash flow provided by operating activities will be used to repay
debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Company believes that its
existing working capital together with borrowings under the Credit Agreement and
anticipated cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its
expected operating and capital spending requirements for at least the next year.
