NOTE 1 -- THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------------------------
Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corporation ("LCP" or the "Company", formerly LTM
Holdings, Inc.), is a major motion picture theatre exhibition company with
operations in North America and Europe. The Company conducts business under the
Loews Theatres, Sony Theatres, Cineplex Odeon Theatres, Star Theatres, Magic
Johnson Theatres and Yelmo Cineplex Theatres marquees. As of May 31, 1998, LCP
owns, or has interests in, and operates 2,794 screens at 450 theatres in 22
states and the District of Columbia, 6 Canadian provinces, Hungary and Turkey.
The Company's principal markets include New York, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore,
Dallas, Houston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington D.C., Toronto,
Montreal and Vancouver. The Company holds a 50% partnership interest in each of
the Loeks-Star Theatres ("LST") and Magic Johnson Theatres ("MJT") partnerships.
LST and MJT hold interests in and operate 12 locations, comprising a total of
149 screens. Screens and locations for the partnerships are included in the
Company amounts referred to above. Since June 10, 1998, the Company also has a
50% interest in 108 screens in 13 theatre locations in Spain through a joint
venture with Yelmo Films S.A, called Yelmo Cineplex de Espana.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information; therefore, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The business combination
with Cineplex Odeon has been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and, therefore, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the operating results of Cineplex Odeon Corporation from the date of
combination (May 15, 1998) to May 31, 1998. Operating results for the three
months ended May 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending February 28, 1999. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 1998.
NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATION
- -------------------------------
On May 14, 1998, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Agreement (the
"Master Agreement") dated September 30, 1997, LTM Holdings, Inc. and Cineplex
Odeon Corporation ("Cineplex" or "Cineplex Odeon"), another motion picture
exhibitor with operations in the U.S. and Canada, combined (the "Combination").
As called for in the Master Agreement, on the date of the Combination, the
outstanding common shares of Cineplex Odeon were exchanged for LCP shares on a
ten for one basis.
At the closing of the Combination, the Company issued 7,264,642 shares of Common
Stock and 80,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to Universal Studios,
Inc. ("Universal"), 4,324,003 shares of Common Stock and 4,000 shares of Class B
Non-Voting Common Stock to the Charles Rosner Bronfman Family Trust and certain
related shareholders (the "Claridge Group") and 6,111,269 shares of common stock
to the other shareholders of record of Cineplex Odeon Corporation, for an
aggregate value of approximately $266.8 million, in exchange for the outstanding
shares of Cineplex Odeon Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plitt
Theatres, Inc. In addition, the Company issued 4,426,607 shares of common stock
to Universal for consideration of $84.5 million as required under a subscription
agreement and 2,664,304 shares of common stock in connection with the transfer
by Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. ("SPE") of its interest in Star Theatres of
Michigan, Inc. ("Star") and S&J Theatres, Inc. ("S&J") to the Company.

NOTE 2 -- CONTINUED
- --------------------
As a result of the Combination, SPE, Universal, the Claridge Group and others
own 51.1% (49.9% voting common stock), 26.0% (26.6% voting common stock), 9.6%
and 13.3%, respectively, of LCP common stock.
The Combination has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
and, accordingly, the cost to acquire Cineplex Odeon will be allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Cineplex Odeon based on their
respective fair values, with the excess to be allocated to goodwill. The
Company has arranged for an independent valuation and other studies required to
determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These
valuations and studies have not been completed and, accordingly, the balances
reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position as of
May 31, 1998 are preliminary and subject to further revision and adjustments.
For purposes of these unaudited financial statements, the carrying value of the
Cineplex Odeon net assets acquired was assumed to approximate fair value.
Therefore, the $224.3 million of excess purchase price over the historical net
book value of the net assets of Cineplex Odeon (excluding $31million of
historical goodwill) has been classified on the unaudited balance sheet as
Excess Purchase Price and the related amortization expense reflected in the
unaudited consolidated statement of operations and the following unaudited pro
forma results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 1998 has been
recorded on a straight line basis over a forty year period.
Upon completion of the determination of fair value, the Excess Purchase Price
will be allocated to specific assets and liabilities of Cineplex Odeon. It is
anticipated that there will be reductions in the carrying value associated with
certain assets, and alternatively the fair value of certain other assets and
liabilities may exceed carrying value. Accordingly, the final valuation could
result in materially different amounts and allocations of Excess Purchase Price
from the amounts and allocations reflected in the following unaudited pro forma
results of operations and the unaudited consolidated financial statements,
primarily between goodwill, property, equipment and leaseholds and certain
liabilities resulting in corresponding changes in depreciation and amortization
amounts. For every one million dollars of Excess Purchase Price allocated to
fixed assets, depreciation and amortization will increase $25 annually (assuming
an average 20 year service life for fixed assets and straight line
depreciation). Based on preliminary estimates of fair value related to certain
assets and liabilities, additional Excess Purchase Price of between $100 million
and $150 million could result at the conclusion of the valuation. The Company
currently anticipates that the necessary valuations and related allocations will
be completed by the end of fiscal 1999.

On May 14, 1998, in connection with the Combination, the Company entered into a
$1 billion senior credit facility with Bankers Trust Company, as administrative
agent. The new credit facility has been used to repay all intercompany amounts
due to Sony Corporation of America and affiliates and has replaced Cineplex
Odeon's existing credit facility. This credit facility is comprised of a $750
million senior secured revolving credit facility, secured by substantially all
of the assets of LCP and its subsidiaries, and a $250 million uncommitted
facility. The credit facility bears interest, at a rate of either the current
prime rate as offered by Bankers Trust Company or an Adjusted Eurodollar rate
plus an applicable margin based on the Company's Leverage Ratio (as defined).
The senior credit facility includes various financial covenants, including a
leverage test and interest coverage test, as well as customary restrictive
covenants, including: (i) limitations on indebtedness, (ii) limitations on
dividends and other payment restrictions, (iii) limitations on asset sales, (iv)
limitations on transactions with affiliates, (v) limitations on the issuance and
sale of capital stock of subsidiaries, (vi) limitations on lines of business,
(vii) limitations on merger, consolidation or sale of assets and (viii) certain
reporting requirements. The Company's initial borrowing under the new credit
facility to fund the aforementioned transactions at the time of closing was $500
million.
The Company's revolving credit facility and Plitt Theatres, Inc. note indenture
contain certain covenants including those related to the maintenance of maximum
leverage ratios and a minimum debt service coverage ratio, as defined by the
agreements.
At February 28, 1998, the Company had debt due to a Sony Corporation of America
affiliate totaling $296,333 carrying an interest rate of 5.9%. Concurrently
with the closing of the Combination the Company repaid this debt on May 14,
1998.

NOTE 8 -- LEASES
- -----------------
The Company conducts a significant part of its operations in leased premises.
Leases generally provide for minimum rentals plus percentage rentals based upon
sales volume and also require the tenant to pay a portion of real estate taxes
and other property operating expenses. Lease terms generally range from 20 to 40
years and contain various renewal options, generally in intervals of 5 to 10
years.
Future minimum rental commitments at May 31, 1998 and February 28, 1998, related
to operating and capital leases, having an initial or remaining noncancelable
lease term of one or more years, aggregated $1,838,309 and $521,469,
respectively. The increase in future minimum lease commitments experienced
during the period was primarily due to the inclusion of the Cineplex Odeon
commitments assumed as a result of the consummation of the Combination.

NOTE 9 -- EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ----------------------------
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 replaced the
calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and
diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously
reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for
all periods have been presented, and where appropriate, restated, to conform
with the requirements of SFAS No. 128. A reconciliation of the number of shares
used in the computations for basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows:

result, the Company has a total of 3,413,633 stock options at a weighted average
exercise price of $13.05 outstanding at May 31, 1998. Of the total options
outstanding as of that date a total of 1,526,360 are currently exercisable.
NOTE 11 -- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
- ---------------------------------------
The following new pronouncement has been issued but is not yet effective:
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity," is
effective for all the Company's fiscal quarters for all fiscal years beginning
February 28, 2000. This statement standardizes the accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, by requiring that the Company recognize those items as assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them at fair
value.
The Company expects to adopt the above standard when required and does not
believe that it will have a significant impact on its financial position or
operating results.

outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 10 7/8% Senior

control" was triggered under provisions of the indenture under which the Plitt
Notes were issued (the "Plitt Indenture"). Accordingly, on June 15, 1998, Plitt
commenced an offer to purchase (the "Change of Control Offer") any and all of
the Plitt Notes for cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of
purchase.
On June 15, 1998, Plitt commenced an at-the-market tender offer and consent
solicitation (the "At-the-Market Offer" and, together with the Change of Control
Offer, the "Plitt Note Repurchase") for any and all outstanding Plitt Notes.
Under the terms of the At-the-Market Offer, as amended on June 26, 1998, Plitt
has offered to purchase the outstanding Plitt Notes for cash at a purchase price
to be determined by reference to a fixed spread of 55 basis points over the
yield to maturity of the United States Treasury 6.25% Bonds due May 31, 1999
(the "Reference Security") on the second business day preceding the expiration
date of the At-the-Market Offer (the "Rate Date"), plus accrued and unpaid
interest to (but excluding) the date of payment. The consent solicitation
sought noteholder approval to amend the indenture in order to eliminate
substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the indenture. The
consent solicitation expired on July 1, 1998, when a supplemental indenture
effecting the proposed amendments was executed. On July 2, 1998, the Company
announced that the holders of more than 95% of the outstanding principal amount
of the Plitt Notes consented, in connection with the at-the-market offer, to the
above mentioned amendments. However, the proposed amendments will only become
operative upon consummation of the At-the-Market Offer. The At-the-Market
Offer, which expires on August 4, 1998, is subject to various conditions,
including no event continuing that could materially impair the benefits to the
Company of the offer and consent solicitation contemplated at the time that the
offer was commenced.

NOTE 13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------
The Company has entered into commitments for the future development and
construction of theatre properties aggregating approximately $290.0 million
(including letters of credit in the amount of $23.1 million). The Company has
also guaranteed an additional $45.4 million related to obligations under lease
agreements entered into by MJT. The Company is of the opinion that MJT will be
able to perform under its respective obligations and that no payment will be
required and no losses will be incurred under these guarantees.
Additionally, the Company is committed, under the terms of the joint venture
agreement dated June 10, 1998 with Yelmo Films S.A., to provide funding for the
future development and construction of theatre properties aggregating up to
approximately $50 million. This acquisition will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and the operating results of the joint venture
will be included from the date of acquisition.
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of
business and is involved in certain environmental matters. It is the opinion of
management that any liability to the Company which may arise as a result of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and operating
results should be read in conjunction with selected historical financial data
and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three
month periods ended May 31, 1998 and 1997. The information presented below
includes the results of Cineplex Odeon Corporation, which became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company on May 14, 1998, for the 17 day period ended May 31,
1998.
This discussion incorporates operating results of partnerships in which the
Company has interests to the extent of its equity share as required by the
equity method of accounting.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1997
Operating Revenues of approximately $117.8 million for the three months ended
May 31, 1998 were $24.6 million, or 26.4%, higher than the comparable period of
the prior year. Operating revenues are generated primarily from admission
revenues and concession sales. Admission revenues for the three months ended
May 31, 1998 of approximately $83.2 million were $15.8 million, or 23.4%,
higher, and concession revenues of approximately $31.2 million were $7.7
million, or 32.8%, higher, in comparison to the three months ended May 31, 1997.
The increases in revenue for the quarter were primarily due to the inclusion of
17 days of operating results for Cineplex Odeon of $26.5 million.
Operating Costs of approximately $89.9 million for the three months ended May
31, 1998 were approximately $18.8 million, or 26.4%, higher than the three
months ended May 31, 1997, due primarily to the inclusion of 17 days of
operating results for the Cineplex Odeon theatres of $21.1 million.
General and Administrative Costs of approximately $7.9 million for the three
months ended May 31, 1998 were $2.0 million higher than the three months ended
May 31, 1997 due primarily to the inclusion of 17 days of operating results for
Cineplex Odeon and start up costs associated with the Company's international
operations.
Depreciation and Amortization Costs of approximately $14.7 for the three months
ended May 31, 1998 were $2.1 million higher than for the three months ended May
31, 1997 due to the inclusion of 17 days of operating results for the Cineplex
Odeon theatres.
Interest Expense of approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended May
31, 1998 was $2.5 million higher than for the three months ended May 31, 1997
due primarily to the inclusion of 17 days of results for Cineplex Odeon and the
impact of additional borrowings under the Company's new credit facility.
Modified EBITDA for the three months ended May 31, 1998 of $19.9 million
increased $3.7 million in comparison to the three months ended May 31, 1997
primarily due to the inclusion of 17 days of results for Cineplex Odeon.
Modified EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
and gains/losses on asset disposal or sales) is a measure of financial
performance that management uses in measuring the Company's financial
performance. Modified EBITDA measures the amount of cash that a company has
available for investment or other uses and is used by the Company as a measure
of performance. Modified EBITDA is primarily a management tool and only one
measure of financial performance to be considered by the investment community.
Modified EBITDA is not an alternative to measuring operating results or cash
flow under U.S. GAAP.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow from operations for the three months ended May 31, 1998 was
approximately $27.3 million, which was approximately $17.3 million higher than
for the three months ended May 31, 1997. The Company derives substantially all
of its revenues from cash collected at the box office and through concession
sales. Generally, this provides the Company with a working capital operating
float since cash revenues are generally collected in advance of the payment of
related expenses.
On May 14, 1998 and in connection with the Combination, the Company repaid all
amounts outstanding under the Sony Corporation of America Credit Facility ("Sony
Facility"). At February 28, 1998, LTM Holdings Inc.'s outstanding balance
against the Sony Facility was approximately $296.3 million.
For periods prior to the closing of the Combination, the Company was included in
the consolidated federal income tax returns of SCA. For financial reporting
purposes, the Company reports its federal income tax expense and related
liability as if it filed a separate income tax return. The resultant liability
(or benefit) is treated as an intercompany payable (or receivable).
The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to realize, improved
operating results as a result of investments in theatres over the last five
years (including new builds, reconfigurations of existing theatres and closing
unprofitable or uncompetitive theatres). At May 31, 1998, the Company had
capital spending commitments for the future development and construction of 41
theatre properties comprising 608 screens aggregating approximately $290.0
million.
Additionally, the Company is committed, under the terms of the joint venture
agreement dated June 10, 1998 with Yelmo Films S.A., to provide funding for the
future development and construction of theatre properties aggregating
approximately $50 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - (POST-COMBINATION)
In connection with the Combination, the Company entered into a $1 billion senior
credit facility with Bankers Trust Company, as administrative agent. The new
credit facility, together with funds provided by Universal under the
Subscription Agreement, replaced the Sony Credit Facility and Cineplex Odeon's
existing credit facility, funded cash paid to SPE and/or its affiliates upon
closing of the Combination and will provide ongoing financing to the Company to
fund the Company's further expansion in North America and internationally. This
credit facility is comprised of a $750 million senior secured revolving credit
facility, secured by substantially all of the assets of LCP and its
subsidiaries, and a $250 million uncommitted facility. The credit facility bears
interest at a rate of either the current prime rate as offered by Bankers Trust
Company or an Adjusted Eurodollar (as defined therein) rate plus an applicable
margin based on the Company's Leverage Ratio (as defined therein).
The Company's borrowings under the new credit facility at May 31, 1998 totaled
$473 million.
As a result of the Combination, Plitt Theatres, Inc. ("Plitt"), Cineplex Odeon's
U.S. theatre group, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Plitt has
outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 10 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Plitt Notes"). As a result of the
Combination, a "change of control" was triggered under provisions of the
indenture under which the Plitt Notes were issued (the "Plitt Indenture").
Accordingly, on June 15, 1998, Plitt commenced an offer to purchase (the "Change
of Control Offer") any and all of the Plitt Notes for cash in an amount equal to
101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but
excluding) the date of purchase.

Additionally, on June 15, 1998, Plitt commenced an at-the-market tender offer
and consent solicitation (the "At-the-Market Offer" and, together with the
Change of Control Offer, the "Plitt Note Repurchase") for any and all
outstanding Plitt Notes. Under the terms of the At-the-Market Offer, as amended
on June 26, 1998, Plitt has offered to purchase the outstanding Plitt Notes for
cash at a purchase price to be determined by reference to a fixed spread of 55
basis points over the yield to maturity of the United States Treasury 6.25%
Bonds due May 31, 1999 (the "Reference Security") on the second business day
preceding the expiration date of the At-the-Market Offer (the "Rate Date"), plus
accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of payment. The consent
solicitation sought noteholder approval to amend the indenture in order to
eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained in the
indenture. The consent solicitation expired July 1, 1998, when a supplemental
indenture effecting the proposed amendments was executed. On July 2, 1998, the
Company announced that the holders of more than 95% of the outstanding principal
amount of the Plitt Notes consented, in connection with the at-the-market offer,
to the above mentioned amendments. However, the proposed amendments will only
become operative upon consummation of the At-the-Market Offer. The At-the-
Market Offer, which expires August 4, 1998, is subject to various conditions,
including no event continuing that could materially impair the benefits to the
Company of the offer and consent solicitation contemplated at the time the offer
was commenced.
On June 15, 1998, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 under
the Securities Act of 1933 offering to sell 10 million shares of Common Stock,
plus up to an additional 1.5 million shares under an over-allotment option to be
granted to the underwriters.
If the offering is consummated, the Company may be obligated to issue additional
shares of common stock to Universal for no additional consideration pursuant to
anti-dilution provisions in the Company's subscription agreement with Universal.
On June 17, 1998, the Company commenced an offering of $200 million aggregate
principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has determined that one new pronouncement that has been issued but
is not yet effective is applicable to the Company, and may have an impact on its
financial statements:
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity," is
effective for all the Company's fiscal quarters for all fiscal years beginning
February 28, 2000. This statement standardizes the accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts by requiring that the Company to recognize those items as assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them at fair
value.
The Company expects to adopt the above standard when required and does not
believe that it will have a significant impact on its financial position or
operating results.

Plitt Tender Offer
- ------------------
As a result of the Combination, Plitt Theatres, Inc. ("Plitt"), Cineplex Odeon's
U.S. theatre group became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Plitt has
outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 10 7/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "Plitt Notes"). Additionally, a "change of

Notes were issued (the "Plitt Indenture"). Accordingly, on June 15, 1998, Plitt
commenced an offer to purchase (the "Change of Control Offer") any and all of
the Plitt Notes for cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date of

On June 15, 1998, Plitt commenced an at-the-market tender offer and consent

Under the terms of the At-the-Market Offer, as amended on June 26, 1998, Plitt
