Item 1.  Business

     (a)  General Development of Business

     Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (herein referred to as the "Company" or "Carmike"),
a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, is engaged in
the motion picture exhibition business.  The Company was incorporated in April
1982 in connection with the leveraged buy-out of the Company's predecessor, the
Martin Theatres circuit, by present management of the Company.  The principal
executive offices of the Company are located at 1301 First Avenue, Columbus,
Georgia 31901-2109, and its telephone number at that location is (706)
576-3400.

     The following are several of the more significant events which have taken
place since December 31, 1995:

     (i) Acquisitions during 1996

</TABLE>


     The Company's theatre operations are under the supervision of its Vice
President - General Manager and are divided into four geographic divisions,
each of which is headed by a division manager.  The division managers are
responsible for implementing Company operating policies and supervising the
Company's seventeen operating districts.  Each operating district has a
district manager who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of
the Company's theatres.  Corporate policy development, strategic planning, site
selection and lease negotiation, theatre design and construction, concession
purchasing, film licensing, advertising, and financial and accounting
activities are centralized at the corporate headquarters of the Company.  See
"Film Licensing" with respect to the Company's film licensing operations.

     Nearly all of the Company's 2,518 screens are located in multi-screen
theatres, with over 90% of the Company's screens being located in theatres
having three or more screens.  The Company's average number of screens per
theatre is 4.9, and the Company intends to increase this ratio through the
construction of larger multi-screen theatres.  Multi-screen theatres enable the
Company to present a variety of films appealing to several segments of the
movie-going public while serving patrons from common support facilities (such
as the box office, concession areas, restrooms and lobby).  This strategy
enhances attendance, utilization of theatre capacity and operating efficiencies
(relating to theatre staffing, performance scheduling and space and equipment
utilization), and thereby enhances revenues and profitability.  Staggered
scheduling of starting times minimizes staffing requirements for crowd control,
box office and concession services while reducing congestion at the concession
area.  The Company's theatres are housed predominantly in modern facilities
equipped with quality projection and sound equipment.

                                       5


<PAGE>   6


     From time to time, the Company converts marginally profitable theatres to
"Discount Theatres" for the exhibition of films that have previously been shown
on a first-run basis.  Increased attendance at these theatres following these
conversions, combined with a lower film rental cost, normally improves such
theatres' operating profitability.  The Company also operates certain theatres
for the exhibition of first-run films at a reduced admission price.  These
theatres are typically in a smaller market where the Company is the only
exhibitor in the market.  At present, the Company operates 97 of its theatres
(302 screens) as Discount Theatres.

     The Company also sells gift certificates and offers a discount ticket plan
to attract groups of patrons to its theatres.

     The Company's revenues are generated primarily from box office receipts
and concession sales.  Additional revenues, which are not material, are
generated from electronic video games installed in the lobbies of some of the
Company's theatres and on-screen advertising.

     The Company relies upon advertisements and movie schedules published in
newspapers to inform its patrons of film selections and show times.  Newspaper
advertisements are typically displayed in a single group for all the Company's
theatres located in the newspaper's circulation area.  In addition, the Company
utilizes radio spots and promotions to further market its films.  Major
distributors frequently share the cost of newspaper and radio advertising.  The
Company also exhibits in its theatres previews of coming attractions and films
presently playing on the Company's other screens in the same market area.

     The Company's proprietary computer system, I.Q. Zero, which is presently
installed in approximately 96% of its theatres (representing approximately 98%
of its screens), allows Carmike to centralize most theatre-level administrative
functions at its corporate headquarters, creating significant operating
leverage.  I.Q. Zero allows corporate management to monitor ticket and
concession sales and box office and concession staffing on a daily basis.  The
Company's integrated MIS, centered around I.Q. Zero, also coordinates payroll,
tracks theatre invoices and generates operating reports analyzing film
performance and theatre profitability.  Accordingly, there is active
communication between the theatres and corporate headquarters, which allows
senior management to react to vital profit and staffing information on a daily
basis and perform the

                                       6


<PAGE>   7



majority of the theatre-level administrative functions, thereby enabling the
theatre manager to focus on the day-to-day operations of the theatre.

     (ii)  Film Licensing

     Carmike obtains licenses to exhibit films by directly negotiating with or,
in rare circumstances, submitting bids to film distributors.  The Company
licenses films through its booking office located in Columbus, Georgia.  The
Company's Vice President - Film, in consultation with the Company's President,
directs the Company's motion picture bookings.

     Prior to negotiating or bidding for a film license, the Company's Vice
President - Film and film booking personnel evaluate the prospects for upcoming
films.  The criteria considered for each film include cast, director, plot,
performance of similar films, estimated film rental costs and expected MPAA
rating.  Successful licensing depends greatly upon the availability of
commercially popular motion pictures, knowledge of the tastes of residents in
markets served by each theatre and insight into the trends in those tastes.
The Company maintains a database that includes revenue information on films
previously exhibited in its markets.  This historical information is then
utilized by the Company to match new films with particular markets so as to
maximize revenues.

     Film licenses typically specify rental fees based on the higher of a gross
box office receipts formula or an adjusted gross box office receipts formula.
Under a gross box office receipts formula, the distributor receives a specified
percentage of box office receipts, with the percentage declining over the term
of the run.  The Company's film rental fees typically begin at 60% of admission
revenues and gradually decline to as low as 30% over a period of four to eight
weeks.  Under an adjusted gross box office receipts formula (commonly known as
a "90/10" clause), the distributor receives a specified percentage (i.e., 90%)
of the excess of box office receipts over a negotiated amount for house
expenses.  In addition, the Company is occasionally required to pay
non-refundable guarantees of film rentals, to make advance payments of film
rentals, or both, in order to obtain a license for a film.  Although not
specifically contemplated by the provisions of film licenses, the terms of film
licenses generally are adjusted or re-negotiated subsequent to exhibition of
the film in relation to its success.

                                       7


<PAGE>   8



     Film licensing zones are geographic areas (generally encompassing a radius
of three to five miles) established by film distributors where any given film
is allocated to only one theatre within that area.  In film licensing zones
where the Company has little or no competition, the Company obtains film
licenses by selecting a film from among those offered and negotiating directly
with the distributor.  In competitive film licensing zones, a distributor will
either require the exhibitors in the zone to bid for a film or will allocate
its films among the exhibitors in the zone.  When films are licensed under the
allocation process, a distributor will choose which exhibitor is offered a
movie and then that exhibitor will negotiate film rental terms directly with
the distributor for the film.  Over the past several years, distributors have
generally used the allocation rather than the bidding process to license their
films.  When films are licensed through a bidding process, exhibitors compete
for licenses based upon economic terms.  The Company currently does not bid for
films in any of its film licensing zones.

     The Company predominantly licenses "first-run" films.  If a film has
substantial remaining potential following its first-run, the Company may
license it for a subsequent run (a "sub-run").  Although average daily sub-run
attendance is often less than average daily first-run attendance, sub-run film
cost is generally less than first-run film cost.  Additionally, sub-runs enable
the Company to exhibit a variety of films during periods in which there are few
new releases.

     The Company's business is dependent upon the availability of marketable
pictures and its relationships with distributors.  While there are numerous
distributors which provide quality first-run movies to the motion picture
exhibition industry, seven major distributors accounted for approximately 92%
of the Company's admission revenues during 1996.  No single distributor
dominates the market.  Disruption in the production of motion pictures by the
major studios and/or independent producers or poor performance of motion
pictures could have an adverse effect on the business of the Company.  The
Company licenses films from a number of distributors and believes that its
relationships with distributors generally are satisfactory.

     (iii)  Competition

     The Company's operations are subject to varying degrees of competition
with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons, obtaining new theatre
sites or acquiring theatre circuits.  In markets where it is not the sole
exhibitor, the Company competes against regional and independent operators as
well as the larger theatre circuit operators.

     The Company believes that the principal competitive factors with respect
to film licensing include licensing terms, seating capacity, location and
prestige of an exhibitor's theatres, quality of projection and sound at the
theatres and the exhibitor's ability and willingness to promote the films.  The
competition for patrons is dependent upon factors such as the availability of
popular films, location of the theatres, patron comfort, quality of projection
and sound and the ticket prices.  The Company believes that its admission
prices are competitive with admission prices of competing theatres.

     The Company's theatres face competition from a number of motion picture
exhibition delivery systems, such as pay television, pay-per-view and home
video systems.  The impact of such delivery systems on the motion picture
exhibition industry is difficult to determine precisely, and there can be no
assurance that existing or future delivery systems will not have an adverse
impact on attendance.  The Company believes that its strongest competition is
from other forms of entertainment competing for the public's outside-the-home
leisure time and disposable income.

     The Company is currently constructing its first complete entertainment
complex, which will offer a variety of forms of family entertainment.  See
"General Development of Business - Entertainment Complex".

     (iv)  Seasonality

     The major film distributors generally release during the summer and
holiday seasons, primarily Thanksgiving and Christmas, those films which they
anticipate to be the most successful.  Consequently, the Company has
historically generated higher revenues during such periods.



                                       9


<PAGE>   10



     (v)  Restaurants

     The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wooden Nickel Pub, Inc.,
operates two restaurants, one of which is adjacent to a theatre.  These
restaurants, which were opened by the Company's predecessor, offer light fare
as well as beer and wine.  These restaurants are not material to the Company's
consolidated operations.  The Company does not currently anticipate opening
additional restaurant facilities.

     (vi)  Regulatory Environment

     The distribution of motion pictures is in large part regulated by federal
and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases.
Certain consent decrees resulting from such cases bind certain major motion
picture distributors and require the motion pictures of such distributors to be
offered and licensed to exhibitors, including the Company, on a 
theatre-by-theatre basis.  Consequently, exhibitors such as the Company cannot
assure themselves of a supply of motion pictures by entering into long-term
arrangements with major distributors but must compete for licenses on a
film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.

     The Federal Americans With Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), which became
effective in 1992, prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in
public accommodations and employment.  The Company constructs new theatres to
be accessible to the disabled and believes that it is otherwise in substantial
compliance with all applicable regulations relating to accommodating the needs
of the disabled.  The Company does not currently anticipate that  ongoing
compliance with the ADA and the regulations thereunder will require the Company
to expend substantial funds.

     (vii)  Employees

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 9,874 employees.
Eighty of the Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements.  The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

     (viii)  Other Factors

     Except for historical information contained herein, certain matters set
forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward looking statements that
involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward looking statements.  Potential
risks and uncertainties include such factors as the financial strength of the
motion picture industry, the level of consumer spending, the availability of
popular motion pictures and the success of planned advertising, marketing and
promotional campaigns.  Investors are also directed to consider other risks and
uncertainties discussed in documents filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Item 2.  Properties

     At December 31, 1996, of the Company's 519 theatres , 71 were owned by the
Company, 366 were leased pursuant to building leases, 75 were leased pursuant
to ground leases, and 7 were subject to shared ownership or shared leasehold
interests with various unrelated third parties.

     The Company's leases are generally entered into on a long-term basis.  See
Note F of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference
in Item 8 herein for information with respect to the Company's lease
commitments.

     The Company owns its headquarters building in Columbus, Georgia.  The
Company occupies all of this modern five-story office building, which has
approximately 48,500 square feet.  The Company's interest in the building is
encumbered by a Deed to Secure Debt and Security Agreement in favor of the
Downtown Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia.

     The Company also owns and occupies a four-story building in Columbus,
Georgia that has approximately 48,000 square feet.  The Company uses this
building for storage and refurbishment of theatre equipment.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation and legal
proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, such as personal injury
claims, employment matters and contractual disputes.  Currently, the Company
does not have pending any litigation or proceedings that

                                       11

management believes will have a material adverse effect, either individually or
in the aggregate, upon the Company.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
last quarter of the year ended December 31, 1996.

December 31, 1996

NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The primary business of the Company is the operation of motion picture theatres
which generate revenues principally through admissions and concessions sales.
Such revenues are received in cash at the point of sale. Seven major
distributors in the motion picture industry accounted for films producing
approximately 92% of the Company's admission revenues in 1996.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

OPERATING AGREEMENTS: The Company jointly owns or leases certain theatres which
it operates under the terms of operating agreements related to the other
participants' undivided interest in such theatres. The Company consolidates the
results of operations of these theatres in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations.

CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments consisting
primarily of money market accounts and investment grade, short-term debt
instruments and have maturities at the date of purchase of less than three
months. The Company limits the amount of its credit exposure to any one
commercial issue of debt instruments. Cash equivalents are stated at cost which
represents the deposit amount plus interest credited to the account. Deposits
with banks are federally insured in limited amounts.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: Short-term investments consist principally of U.S.
Government securities with maturity dates less than one year from date of
purchase and are stated at cost which approximates market.

INVENTORIES: Inventories, principally concessions and theatre supplies, are
stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIPS: The Company is a partner in three partnerships
which operate motion picture theatres. The investments in these partnerships
are accounted for by the equity method whereby the cost of the investment is
adjusted to reflect the Company's equity in the earnings or losses of the
partnership less withdrawals made by the Company. The Company's equity in the
earnings of these partnerships was approximately $399,000, $405,000, and
$568,000 for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are carried at cost.
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes as follows: 30 years for buildings and improvements; 1-30 years for
leasehold interests and leasehold improvements; and 5-15 years for equipment.
The Company uses accelerated methods of depreciation for income tax purposes.
Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included with
depreciation expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

ACCRUED EXPENSES: Accrued expenses include accrued property taxes of 
approximately $2.7 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

ADVERTISING"  The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

EXCESS OF PURCHASE PRICE OVER NET ASSETS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED: The excess of
purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired is amortized on a
straight-line basis over a 40 year period.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the excess of purchase
price over net assets of businesses acquired may be impaired, an evaluation of
continuing value would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the
estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with this asset would be
compared to its carrying amount to determine if a write down to market value or
discounted cash flow value is required.

BENEFIT PLANS: The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for
certain of its executive officers. Under this plan, the Company contributes ten
percent of the employee's taxable compensation to a trust designated for the
employee. The Company also has a discretionary benefit plan for certain
non-executive employees. Contri-butions to this plan are at the discretion of
the Company's executive management.

Expenses related to these plans are not material to the Company's operations.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The Company grants stock options to employees for a
fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the
shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option
grants.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Primary earnings per common share are based on the
weighted average common shares outstanding, adjusted for the incremental shares
attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock which are calculated
using the treasury stock method.

In November 1994, the Company sold 2,875,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock
pursuant to a public offering. Net proceeds of approximately $58.2 million were
used, in part, to retire certain outstanding debt of the Company. If the
transaction had occurred as of January 1, 1994, the net earnings per share
would have been $1.80 per share for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED

NOTE B--IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 121 ("Statement
121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of", as of January 1, 1996. The Company reviews for
impairment long-lived assets, and goodwill related to those assets, to be held
and used in the business whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset or a group of assets may not be
recoverable. The Company considers a trend of operating results that are not in
line with management's expectations to be its primary indicator of potential
impairment. For purposes of Statement 121, assets are evaluated for impairment
at the theatre level, which management believes is the lowest level for which
there are identifiable cash flows. The Company deems a theatre to be impaired
if a forecast of undiscounted future operating cash flows directly related to
the theatre, including disposal value if any, is less than its carrying amount.
If a theatre is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount
by which the carrying amount of the theatre exceeds its fair value. Fair value
is based on management's estimates which are based on using the best
information available, including prices for similar theatres or the results of
valuation techniques such as discounting estimated future cash flows as if the
decision to continue to use the impaired theatres was a new investment
decision. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted
future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from
such estimates.

Recoverability of other long-lived assets, primarily investments in 
unconsolidated affiliates and goodwill not identified with impaired theatres 
covered by the above paragraph, will continue to be evaluated on a recurring 
basis. The primary indicator of recoverability is the forecasted profitability 
over the estimated remaining life of these assets. If recoverability is 
unlikely based on the evaluation, the carrying amount is written down to the 
fair value. In the future, additional adjustments could be required.

The initial non-cash charge upon the Company's adoption of Statement 121 was
approximately $45.4 million ($28.2 million after tax or $2.50 per share) to
reduce the carrying amount of 138 of the Company's theatres. This initial
charge resulted from evaluating the recoverability of individual theatres,
which is at a lower level than under the Company's previous accounting policy
for measuring impairment. Under the Company's previous policy, the Company's
long-lived assets were evaluated on a market by market basis for impairment.

As a result of the reduced carrying amount of the impaired assets, depreciation
and amortization expense for 1996 was reduced by approximately $4.2 million
($2.6 million after tax or $.23 per share). Statement 121 also requires, among
other provisions, that long-lived assets held for disposal and certain
identified intangibles be reported at the lower of the asset's carrying amount
or its fair value less costs to sell. The impact of adopting Statement 121 on
assets held for disposal was not material.

The Company's policy is to perform its impairment calculations and evaluations
in the fourth quarter of each year.

NOTE C--ACQUISITIONS

The Company's acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of operations
of the acquired businesses are included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of their respective acquisition dates. The assets and
liabilities of acquired businesses are included based on an allocation of the
purchase prices.

In separate transactions, the Company acquired certain assets and businesses as

On April 23, 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with four banks to provide a revolving line of credit of up to $175
million for working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
The Credit Agreement has a three year revolving credit period, which can be
extended, upon the mutual consent of the Company and the banks, for one year
periods, and will convert to a four year term loan at the end of the revolving
credit period. The Company has the option to borrow at interest rates based on
either the bank base rate or LIBOR plus .40% (effective rate of 6.27% at
December 31, 1996) and is required to pay annual commitment fees of .20% on the
full amount of the facility. The interest rate, facility fees and commitment
fees are subject to adjustment based upon the Company's ratio of total debt to
defined cash flows. At December 31, 1996, the Company had $53.0 million
available for borrowing under this facility. The Company has classified all
amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement as long-term in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive
provisions which, among other things, limit additional indebtedness of the
Company, limit the payment of dividends and other defined restricted payments,
require that certain debt to capitalization ratios be maintained and require
minimum levels of cash flows.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to modify the
interest characteristics of a portion of its outstanding debt. The agreements
involve the exchange of amounts based on a variable interest rate for amounts
based on a fixed interest rate over the life of the agreements without an
exchange of the notional amounts upon which the payments are based. The Company
specifically designates interest rate swaps on hedges of debt instruments and
recognizes interest differentials as adjustments to interest expense in the
period they occur. The differential to be paid or received as interest rates
change is accrued and recognized as an adjustment of interest expense related
to the debt (the accrual accounting method). The related amount payable to, or
receivable from, counter-parties is included in other liabilities or assets.
The fair value of the swap agreements is not recognized in the financial
statements. If, in the future, an interest rate swap agreement were terminated,
any resulting gain or loss would be deferred and amortized to interest expense
over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement. In the event of
early extinguishment of a designated debt obligation, any realized or
unrealized gain or loss from the swap would be recognized in income coincident
with the extinguishment.

The interest rate swap agreements changed floating interest rate expense on
amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Under one interest rate swap
agreement, the Company has fixed $50.0 million of the Company's floating rate
debt for seven years. The effective rate at December 31, 1996 was 6.105%, equal
to a fixed rate of 5.705% plus the margin of .40% the Company presently pays
over

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

LIBOR. Under another interest rate swap agreement, the Company has fixed $20.0
million of its floating rate debt for five years at a fixed rate of 5.51% plus
the margin the Company pays over LIBOR (.40% at December 31, 1996) for a total
effective rate of 5.91%.

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by
counter-parties on interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not believe
there is a significant risk of nonperformance by any of the counter-parties to
these instruments and the Company monitors the financial stability of such
parties on a periodic basis.

On December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $40.1 million of
unrestricted retained earnings available for dividends under the most
restrictive debt agreement.

NOTE J--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company.

NOTE K--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash investments and short-term investments.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and
certain other financial instruments with various financial institutions. These
financial institutions are located in the southeast and Company policy is
designed to limit exposure to any one institution. The Company performs
periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial
institutions that are considered in the Company's investment strategy.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The Company's short-term investments consist of U.S.
Treasury Notes with maturities of less than one year. The carrying value
approximates market at December 31, 1996 and 1995. 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating 
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets 
for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE: The carrying amounts reported in the 
balance sheets for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their 
fair value.

LONG-TERM DEBT: The carrying amounts of the Company's long-term debt borrowings
approximate their fair value. The fair values of the Company's long-term debt
are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. 

SENIOR NOTES: The cumulative fair value of the Company's Senior Notes at 
December 31, 1996 is estimated to be approximately $113.4 million. This 
estimate is based on a discounted cash flow analysis using the Company's
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of agreements. The
Company does not anticipate settlement of this debt at fair value and currently
intends to hold the Senior Notes through maturity. 

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS: The unrealized gain for the interest rate swap 
agreements was approximately $2.2 million at December 31, 1996 based on 
evaluations made by the counter-parties to the interest rate swap agreements. 
The Company does not anticipate realization of this gain as the Company 
intends to hold the interest rate swap agreements to maturity.

                                                           INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carmike
Cinemas, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Carmike Cinemas,
Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, in 1996 the Company changed
its method of accounting for long-lived assets.

SELECTED FINANCIAL
AND OPERATING DATA

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the financial information
included herein and the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996 (the "1996 Form 10-K") as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Except for the historical
information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors which
could cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially
include, but are not limited to, the availability of suitable motion pictures
for exhibition in the Company's markets, the availability of opportunities for
expansion, and competition with other forms of entertainment, as well as other
factors discussed or identified from time to time in the Company's filings with
the SEC, including, but not limited to, the Company's 1996 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased 17.0% to
$426,726,000 from $364,749,000. This increase consists of a $42,938,000
increase in admissions and a $19,039,000 increase in concessions and other.
Overall attendance increased 14.3% due to the additional screens in operation 
which were acquired in 1995 and 1996 (see Note C of Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements). Attendance on a same screen comparison was basically 
the same for 1996 as 1995. Average admission prices increased 2.3% to $4.00 
from $3.91 and average concession sales per person increased 2.5% from $1.58 
to $1.62.

Cost of theatre operations (film exhibition costs, concession costs and other
theatre operating costs) increased 15.0% to $338,369,000 from $294,295,000 due
to the increased number of screens in operation and the increase in attendance.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of theatre operations decreased from 80.7% of
total revenues to 79.3%. This percentage decrease is due primarily to a lower
level of salaries at the Company.

General and administrative costs increased 8.7% from $5,482,000 in 1995 to
$5,959,000 in 1996 reflecting additional general and administrative costs
incurred to properly integrate the new screens acquired in 1995 and 1996. As a
percentage of total revenues, general and administrative costs decreased from
1.5% to 1.4%.

Depreciation and amortization increased 4.4% to $28,408,000 from $27,216,000 as
a result of the increased screens in operation which were acquired in 1995 and
1996 (see Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) combined with
the additional screens added through internal construction. This amount has
also been reduced from the impact of adopting Statement 121 (see Note B of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As a percentage of total revenues,
depreciation and amortization decreased from 7.5% of total revenues to 6.7% of
total revenues.

Interest expense increased 26.6% to $20,289,000 from $16,031,000 in 1995. This
increase reflects a higher average amount of debt outstanding for 1996.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 121 ("Statement
121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,"
as of January 1, 1996 (see Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). The initial non-cash charge upon the Company's adoption of
Statement 121 was approximately $45,447,000 ($28,177,000 after tax, or $2.50
per share) to reduce the carrying value of 138 theatres, constituting
approximately 26% of the Company's theatres. This charge resulted from the
evaluation of asset impairment on an individual theatre level rather than on a
market level, which had been the Company's previous accounting policy for
evaluating and measuring impairment. As noted above, the write-down of assets
under Statement 121 resulted in a reduction in depreciation and amortization
expense in the year ended December 31, 1996.

The Company grouped its theatres into corporations in 1995 to achieve business
and tax efficiencies. As a result of these changes, management cost is more
appropriately allocated among the operations and the Company's effective tax
rate declined from approximately 40% to approximately 38%.

                                                             AND OPERATING DATA

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995
and December 31, 1994

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 11.3% to
$364,749,000 from $327,619,000. This increase consists of a $21,557,000
increase in admissions and a $15,573,000 increase in concessions and other.
Overall attendance increased 8.9% due to the additional screens in operation
which were acquired in 1994 and 1995 (see Note C of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements); however, attendance for 1995 on a same screen comparison
decreased 7.9%, reflecting fewer blockbuster type movies in 1995. Average
admission prices increased .5% to $3.91 and average concession sales per patron
increased 8.2% from $1.46 to $1.58.

Cost of theatre operations (film exhibition costs, concession costs and other
theatre operating costs) increased 15.5% to $294,295,000 due to the increased
number of screens in operation and the increase in attendance. As a percentage
of revenues, cost of theatre operations increased from 77.8% of total revenues
to 80.7% of total revenues. This percentage increase is due primarily to a
higher level of occupancy expense and to a lesser degree salaries included in
this expense category that do not fluctuate proportionately with decreases in
attendance levels.

General and administrative costs increased 7.7% from $5,092,000 to $5,482,000
in 1995 reflecting additional general and administrative costs incurred to
properly integrate the new screens acquired in 1994 and 1995. As a percentage
of total revenues, general and administrative costs decreased from 1.6% of
total revenues to 1.5% of total revenues.

Depreciation and amortization increased 20.7% to $27,216,000 from $22,544,000
as a result of the increased screens in operation which were acquired in 1994
and 1995 (see Note C of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) combined
with the additional screens added through internal construction. As a
percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization increased from 6.8%
of total revenues to 7.5% of total revenues.

Interest expense decreased 5.9% to $16,031,000 from $17,028,000 in 1994. This
decrease reflects a lower average amount of debt outstanding for most of 1995.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

The major film distributors generally release those films which they anticipate
to be the most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently,
the Company has historically generated higher revenues during such periods.

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the operations of the Company in
any of the periods discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's revenues are collected in cash, principally through box office
admissions and theatre concessions. Because its revenues are received in cash
prior to the payment of related expenses, the Company has an operating "float"
which partially finances its operations. 

The Company's capital requirements arise principally in connection with new
theatre openings and acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits.
New theatre openings and acquisitions typically have been financed with
internally generated cash and by debt financings, including borrowings under
the Company's revolving credit facility.

The Company believes that its capital needs for theatre construction and
possible acquisitions should be satisfied by internally generated cash flow,
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, borrowings under
the revolving credit line (see Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), additional sale of debt and/or equity securities, additional bank
financing and other forms of long-term debt and, where appropriate, future
lease financing. At March 12, 1997, the Company had approximately $8.7 million
in cash and short-term investments on hand and approximately $35.5 million was
available under the Company's revolving credit facility.
