                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Hollywood Theater Holdings, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Hollywood Theater Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and for the period from inception (July 11, 1995)
through December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of Hollywood Theater Holdings, Inc.'s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hollywood
Theater Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and for the period from inception (July 11, 1995)
through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                HOLLYWOOD THEATER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


1. ORGANIZATION

         Hollywood Theater Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Hollywood Theaters, Inc., ("HTI") both Delaware corporations, were formed in
June 1995 to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Trans Texas Amusements,
Inc. ("TransTexas") and affiliates. Crown Theatre Corporation became a wholly
owned subsidiary of HTI after it was acquired by Hollywood Theater Holdings,
Inc. on November 1, 1996, the effective date of the purchase. Hollywood Theater
Holdings, Inc., HTI, and Crown Theatre Corporation (collectively "Holdings")
owned and operated 81 motion picture theaters at December 31, 1997. Holdings
currently operates theaters in Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, and
Texas.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hollywood
Theater Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial
institutions and petty cash held by the theaters. The Company considers all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

Deposits

         Deposits consist of funds held in escrow in accordance with certain
purchase agreements.

Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market and consist primarily of concession products and theater supplies.

Accounts Receivable

         Accounts receivable are due primarily from vendors and film companies
for reimbursable vendor promotion costs and film advertising costs. Film
advertising reimbursements are generally credited against the film rental
expense. Vendor promotion reimbursements are included in other income.

Prepaid and Other Current Assets

         Prepaid and other current assets consist of prepaid insurance and
theater start-up costs. Theater start-up costs are amortized over a one-year
period.

Property and Equipment

         Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture
and equipment and buildings is provided using the straight-line method over an
eight-year period and thirty-year period, respectively. Leasehold improvements
are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease period
or the estimated useful lives of the leasehold improvements.

                HOLLYWOOD THEATER HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995


Intangible Assets

         Intangible assets include deferred finance costs which are amortized
over the life of the related note and covenants not-to-compete which are
amortized using the straight-line method over a five year period.

Goodwill

         Goodwill is recorded as the excess of cost over fair value of assets
acquired and is amortized over 15 years. Accumulated amortization of goodwill
was approximately $4.0 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

         Holdings reviews the carrying value of goodwill at least annually on a
market-by-market basis to determine if facts and circumstances exist which would
suggest the goodwill may be impaired or that the amortization period needs to be
modified. Among the factors Holdings considers in making the evaluation are
changes in Holdings' market position, reputation, profitability and geographic
penetration. If indicators are present which may indicate impairment is
probable, Holdings will prepare a projection of the undiscounted cash flows of
the specific market and determine if goodwill is recoverable based on these
undiscounted cash flows. If impairment is indicated, then an adjustment will be
made to reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill to its fair value. Similar
reviews are made of other long-lived assets. No such adjustments were required
during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the period from inception
(July 11, 1995) through December 31, 1995.

Deferred Lease Expenses

         Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis after considering
the effect of rent escalation provisions.

Income Taxes

         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based upon estimated future tax
effects of the differences in the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities
and the related financial statement carrying amounts, using currently enacted
tax laws and rates.

Revenues

         Revenues are recognized when admissions and concessions sales are
received at the theaters. Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable
box office receipts and the terms of the film licenses. Holdings' business is
dependent upon the availability of commercially successful movies and upon its
relationship with motion picture distributors. During 1997, only one distributor
represented 25% or greater of Holdings' admission revenues.

Advertising

         Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



Reclassifications

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year statements
to conform them to the current year presentation.

Future Accounting Changes

         The Company plans to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 1998.
SFAS 131 requires a public business enterprise to report financial and
descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company is still evaluating the effects of this statement.

         The Company plans to adopt Statement of Position 98-1 ("SOP 98-1"),
"Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal-Use," effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1,
1998. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for the costs of computer
software developed or obtained for internal use and identifies the
characteristics of internal use software. The impact from adoption will be
minimal.

3.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment at December 31, 1997 and 1996, consisted of the

10 5/8% Senior Notes

         In August 1997, HTI completed an offering of $110.0 million of senior
subordinated notes (the "Offering"). The notes bear interest at 10 5/8% and are
due in 2007. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of HTI
at any time on or after August 1, 2002, at a redemption price of 105.312% in
2002, 103.542% in 2003, 101.771% in 2004, and 100% in 2005 and thereafter plus
any accrued but unpaid interest. In addition, on or before August 1, 2000, HTI
may, at its option and subject to certain requirements, use an amount equal to
the net cash proceeds from one or more public equity offerings, as defined, to
redeem up to an aggregate of 30% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes
originally issued at a redemption price of 110.625% plus any accrued but unpaid
interest. Upon a change in control of HTI, as defined in the indenture, HTI will
be required to make an offer to repurchase all or any part of each holder's
Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus
interest. The notes also include restrictive covenants relative to the
maintenance of financial ratios and the incurrence of additional indebtedness.
Holdings used the net proceeds from the Offering to repay all of the existing
indebtedness under its existing facility, to finance certain acquisitions, to
fund a portion of construction and other expenses related to the 1997 theater
building program, and for general corporate purposes.

Revolving Credit Facility

         At December 31, 1996, Holdings had a $25.0 million revolving credit
agreement and a $50.0 million term note agreement with a financial institution.
Concurrently with the consummation of the Offering, Holdings entered into a
revolving credit facility (the "Senior Bank Facility") to fund working capital
requirements and capital expenditures. The Senior Bank Facility provides for a
$50.0 million revolving credit facility with a five year term, however, the
total amount of available borrowings under the Senior Bank Facility may be less
based on leverage levels of Holdings. At December 31, 1997, Holdings was not in
compliance with two of the thirteen financial covenants in the Senior Bank
Facility. On January 7, 1998, Holdings entered into an amendment of the Senior
Bank Facility, amending among other things, certain financial covenants.
Currently, Holdings is in compliance with all financial covenants in the Senior
Bank Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Bank Facility are conditioned upon
Holdings achieving and maintaining certain financial ratios, including the
stipulation that total borrowings are not to exceed 5.75 times Holdings'
"trailing" twelve-month cash flow, as defined, and certain other restrictions.

As of December 31, 1997, no amounts were borrowed under the Senior Bank
Facility. Currently, $16.0 million is available for borrowings.

6. LEASES

         Holdings leases certain of its theater premises with lease terms of 4
to 20 years. Additionally, certain leases provide for contingent rentals based
on operating results and require the payment of taxes, insurance, and other
costs applicable to the property. Holdings, at its option, may renew a
substantial portion of the leases at defined or then fair rental rates for
various periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments
throughout the lease term. A deferred lease expense accrual of approximately
$1.2 million and $658,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively, has been provided to
account for these leases on a straight-line basis. Rent expense for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the period from inception (July 11, 1995)
to December 31, 1995, totaled approximately $9.3 million, $3.0 million and
$965,000, respectively.

         Future minimum payments under noncancelable leases with initial or
remaining terms in excess of one year at December 31, 1997, are due as follows

7. INCOME TAXES

         As of December 31, 1997, Holdings has a net operating loss (NOL)
carryforward of approximately $8.8 million for tax reporting purposes which
begins to expire in calendar year 2010. In October 1996, Holdings underwent an
ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Therefore, the
NOL carryforward to future years will be limited. Due to the lack of an earnings
history, the tax benefits normally associated with this NOL carryforward and
other tax assets have been fully valued and have not been recorded in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

         Holdings' net deferred income taxes at December 31, 1997 and 1996,

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires all entities to disclose the
estimated fair value of its financial instrument assets and liabilities. Cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value
because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. In addition, the fair
value of Holdings' long-term debt is $117.4 million which is based upon quoted
market prices and the carrying value is $110.0 million. At December 31, 1996,
Holdings' long-term debt was determined to approximate its carrying value since
it was issued at fair market value during 1996.

         Changes in the assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on these estimated fair values.

9. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK

          In November 1996, The Beacon Group III - Focus Value Fund, L.P.
("Beacon") purchased approximately $19.0 million of a new class of Series B
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). The Series
B Preferred Stock is redeemable after the seventh anniversary of the issue date
by the holders, as long as a qualifying initial public offering of the common
stock has not occurred. The preferred shares are automatically converted into
common stock, upon completion of a qualifying initial public offering. The
Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, initially on a one-for-one basis,
subject to adjustment to reflect specified antidilution events, including
without limitation, stock splits, stock combinations, certain issuances of
equity and certain business combination transactions. The holders of Series B
Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends at an annual rate of 9%. The board of
directors may elect to pay dividends in shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The
liquidation preference of each share of Series B Preferred Stock is the greater
of $175 plus accrued but unpaid dividends or the per share amount the holder
would have received upon liquidation on a converted basis plus accrued but
unpaid dividends. In addition, Holdings exchanged Series A Preferred Stock held
by Beacon, Precept Investors, Inc. ("Precept") and Stratford Capital Partners
L.P. and Stratford Equity Partners, L.P. (collectively "Stratford") for the
newly authorized Series B Preferred Stock at a ratio of 1.75/1.00 shares.

         The Board of Directors authorized a 9% preferred stock dividend of
Series B Preferred Stock on December 15, 1996 to the stockholders of record of
Series B Preferred Stock on December 15, 1996. The stock dividend was paid on
December 31, 1996.

         In 1997 and 1996, a total of 16,413 shares were issued to Richard M.
Durwood and the Richard M. Durwood Revocable Trust ("RMD Trust") for $2.9
million in connection with the acquisition of Crown Theater Corporation. In
addition, at any time on or after October 31, 2001, provided that an offering of
Holdings' common stock has not then occurred, Richard M. Durwood and/or the RMD
Trust may require Holdings to repurchase not less than all of the shares of
Holdings Common Stock held by each at the fair market value at the time of
repurchase.

         In April 1997, the Board of Directors approved 200,000 shares of $.01
par value Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred
Stock"). The Series C Preferred Stock is redeemable under the same conditions
and requirements as Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of Series C Preferred
Stock are entitled to dividends at an annual rate of 9%. The board of directors
may elect to pay dividends in shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The
liquidation preference of each share of Series C Preferred Stock is the greater
of $195 plus accrued but unpaid dividends or the per share amount the holder
would have received upon liquidation on a converted basis plus accrued but
unpaid dividends. Holdings issued 43,076 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to
Beacon and Stratford for approximately $8.4 million.

         In May 1997, Holdings issued 35,897 shares of Series C Preferred Stock
for approximately $7.0 million to Hoak Communications Funds ( the "Hoak
Entities").

Preferred Stock"). The Series D Preferred Stock is redeemable under the same
conditions and requirements as Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of Series D
Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends at an annual rate of 11%. The board of
directors may elect to pay dividends in shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The
liquidation preference of each share of Series C Preferred Stock is the greater
of $195 plus accrued but unpaid dividends or the per share amount the holder
would have received upon liquidation on a converted basis plus accrued but
unpaid dividends. Additionally, Holdings sold 10,257 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock for approximately $2.0 million to the Hoak Entities and
exchanged 51,283 of Series C Preferred Stock for Series D Preferred Stock at a

cash, six theaters in Texas from Cinemore, Inc. and related entities.

         In August 1996, Holdings acquired, for approximately $1.8 million in

         In November 1996, Holdings acquired 33 theaters primarily in Kansas,
Missouri, and Ohio from Crown Cinema Corporation and Crown Theatre Corporation.
Holdings issued 16,413 shares of its common stock to the seller, at a fair
market value of approximately $2.9 million, and paid cash of approximately $41.1
million to the seller for these acquisitions. The former stakeholder of Crown
Cinema Corporation is now a stockholder and consultant of Holdings. Holdings
also acquired, for $700,000 in cash, two theaters in Texas from General Cinema
Corp. of Texas.

         In November and December 1996, Holdings acquired, for approximately
$11.3 million in cash, 19 theaters in Idaho, Oklahoma, and Texas from United
Artists Theatre Circuit Inc. and related entities.

         The 1997 and 1996 acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to
the assets acquired (including all identifiable intangible assets, if material)
based upon their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition in accordance
with APB No. 16. The results of operations of the acquired theaters are included
in the consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of
acquisition. None of the acquisition agreements contain any significant earn-out
provisions with the sellers.

         The following is a summary of the net assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in connection with the foregoing acquisitions in 1997 and 1996 (in
thousands):

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Holdings, in the normal course of business, is party to various matters
of litigation. Management is of the opinion that the eventual outcome of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on Holdings' financial position
or results of operations.

15. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Precept, one of Holdings' shareholders, has been engaged by Holdings to
construct various theaters. During 1997, Precept was involved in the
construction of two theaters and improvements to three existing theaters, and
was paid approximately $14.5 million for these services. During 1996, Precept
was involved in the construction of one theater and improvements to one existing
theater, and was paid approximately $4.6 million for these services. No amounts
were owed to Precept as of December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1996,
approximately $1.2 million was owed to Precept and is included in accounts
payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheet.

         At December 31, 1996, Holdings was owed approximately $615,000 by a
current shareholder and consultant with Holdings, who is a former shareholder of
Crown Cinema Corporation and Crown Theatre Corporation. The receivable primarily
represents costs paid by Holdings for services performed prior to the
acquisition of the theaters by Holdings. The receivable was collected in 1997.
