NOTES:

(a)  Total EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus loss on sale/disposals of theatres and
     includes 100% of the operating results of the Company's partnerships. Total
     EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as
     determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), as a measure of the Company's
     operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
     activities (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP), as a measure of
     the Company's liquidity. In addition, the Total EBITDA measure presented
     herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
     companies. Total 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 its performance. The Company believes that Total EBITDA is an
     important measure, in addition to cash flow from operations and EBITDA, in
     viewing its overall liquidity and borrowing capacity.

(b)  Attributable EBITDA consists of Total EBITDA less partners' share of Total
     EBITDA.

(c)  All per screen and location ratios are based upon the weighted average
     number of screens and locations in operation during the period and include
     100% of the results of the significant partnerships in which the Company
     has a 50% interest.
