In February 1999, the Company completed a private offering of $200.0 million of
9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Subordinated Notes"). The
unregistered Subordinated Notes were subsequently exchanged for registered
Subordinated Notes in July, 1999. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries have
fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the Subordinated Notes.
Additionally, on January 29, 1999 the Company amended and restated its 1997
credit agreement (as amended and restated, the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The
Revolving Credit Facility provides for revolving credit availability of $200.0
million and matures November 10, 2002. The interest rate and commitment fees on
the Revolving Credit Facility vary based on certain financial ratios as set
forth in the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement. The aggregate effective
interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 7.6% at September 30, 1999.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
CARMIKE CINEMAS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE B - INDEBTEDNESS (CONTINUED)

The Revolving Credit Facility allowed for the February 25, 1999 issuance of a
separate $75.0 million Term Loan B Facility (the "Term Loan B"). The Term Loan B
will mature March 30, 2005 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Company
used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, approximately
$193.7 million, to redeem its then outstanding Senior Notes and to reduce the
amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest accrues on the
Term Loan B at a floating rate per annum initially equal to, at Carmike's
option, either: (1) the Base Rate, as defined, plus 1.75%, or (2) the Adjusted
LIBOR Rate plus 2.75%. The applicable margins over the index used to determine
the interest rate are adjustable from time to time following the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 1999 based upon certain financial ratios as set forth in the Term
Loan B Agreement. The aggregate effective interest rate on the Term Loan B was
8.1% at September 30, 1999.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B contain certain
restrictive provisions which, among other things, limit additional indebtedness
of the Company, limit dividends and other restricted payments, require that
certain debt to capitalization ratios be maintained and require minimum levels
of cash flows.

Carmike is required to make prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility and
Term Loan B, on a pro rata basis, with the net cash proceeds of asset sales,
excess cash flows, as defined, or the sale of any new equity securities. The
maximum available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced
by the amount of any such prepayments, but in no event below $150.0 million. The
Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan B rank pari passu.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS: 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 as 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 hedge debt instrument. 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 Revolving Credit Facility. Under one interest rate
swap agreement, the Company has fixed $50.0 million of its floating rate debt
through February 7, 2003. This swap agreement was amended effective August 9,
1999. Under the amended agreement the effective rate at September 30, 1999 was
7.455%, equal to a fixed rate of 5.205% plus the margin the Company pays over
LIBOR (2.25% at September 30, 1999). Under another interest rate swap agreement,
the Company has fixed $20.0 million of its floating rate debt through February
7, 2001 at a fixed rate of 5.503% plus the margin the Company pays over LIBOR
(2.25% at September 30, 1999) for a total effective rate of 7.753%.

NOTE B - INDEBTEDNESS (CONTINUED)

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

NOTE C - RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During June 1999, the Company revised its estimate of the total costs to be
incurred for its restructuring plan approved in December 1998. The $2.7 million
decrease in estimated costs (approximately $1.7 million after income taxes or
$.15 per diluted share) was the result of a lessor initiated early buyout of a
lease included in the restructuring plan. The early lease termination provides
savings for the lease payments, utilities and other associated lease costs which
were expected to be incurred over the remaining lease period at December 31,
1998.

NOTE D - EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE

In connection with the restructuring of indebtedness discussed in Note B -
Indebtedness, the Company retired its then outstanding senior notes totaling
$79.9 million. The Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $6.3 million
($10.1 million less applicable income taxes) for (a) a prepayment premium ($9.2
million) paid in connection with the redemption of the senior notes, and (b) the
elimination of deferred debt costs ($.9 million) on retired indebtedness.

NOTE F - CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA FOR GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

The Company's principal operating subsidiaries fully, unconditionally, jointly
and severally guarantee the Company's $200 million 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes (see Note B - Indebtedness).

The guarantor subsidiaries are direct, wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries of the
Company. The Company and the guarantor subsidiaries conduct substantially all of
the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented
because, in the opinion of management, such financial statements are not
material to investors. The Company also has a partially owned subsidiary and
several unconsolidated affiliates which are not guarantors and are
inconsequential to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Following is summarized condensed combined financial information (in accordance
with Rule 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X) at September 30, 1999 and for the nine
month period then ended for the guarantor subsidiaries of the Company (in
thousands):

Item 2. 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, 1998 (the "1998 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, and the performance of films licensed by the Company;
competitive pressures in the motion picture exhibition industry, including the
increasing development of megaplexes and stadium-style theatres by some
exhibitors; the availability of opportunities for expansion; the Company's
substantial leverage, and the availability of financial resources and financing
programs; demographic changes; and general economic conditions, including
adverse changes in inflation and prevailing interest rates; as well as those
discussed or identified from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC,
including, but not limited to, the Company's 1998 Form 10-K.

                COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
                    SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased 7.5% to $144.8
million from $134.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This
increase consists of a $9.0 million increase in admissions and a $1.1 million
increase in concessions and other. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the
Company's average admission price was $4.69, its average concession sale per
patron was $1.89 and the attendance per average screen was relatively flat at
7,936 compared to 7,956 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. These factors
contributed to increasing revenue per average screen 8.8% to $53,246. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company's average admission price was
$4.21, its average concession sale per patron was $1.79 and the revenue per
average screen was $48,936. The increases are attributed to additional revenues
generated from increased ticket and concession sales per patron and improved
facilities resulting from the Company's expansion and re-screening projects.

Costs of operations (film exhibition costs, concession costs and other theatre
operating costs) increased 6.5% from $102.2 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 to $108.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
This dollar increase is due to higher admissions revenue which forced film
exhibition costs up accordingly. Concessions costs were up slightly at $6.0
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to $5.4 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Other theatre costs for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999 increased 4.4% to $51.9 million from $49.7 million for the
same period in 1998. This increase was the result of individually immaterial
increases in salaries, supplies and utilities related to higher attendance. As a
percentage of total revenues, cost of operations decreased to 75.2% of total
revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from 75.9% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998, largely due to the amount of fixed costs which do not
fluctuate with changes in revenues or attendance.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

                COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
                    SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased 1.4% to
$367.8 million from $362.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
This increase consists of a $6.5 million increase in admissions and a $1.2
million decrease in concessions and other. The increases in admissions are
primarily attributable to an increase in admission pricing as well as the mix of
tickets sold in the various pricing categories (adults, children and matinee).
These increases are partially offset by a 3.1% reduction in attendance to 56.7
million patrons for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 versus 58.5 million
patrons during the same period in 1998. The major declines in attendance
occurred in the first four months of 1999, when attendance was down 12.5% over
1998 levels. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's average
admission price was $4.50, its average concession sale per patron was $1.81 and
revenue per average screen was $134,732. For the nine months ended September 30,
1998, the Company's average admission price was $4.25, its average concession
sale per patron was $1.78 and revenue per average screen was $132,612.

Costs of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased 1.1%
from $289.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $292.3
million. This increase is directly related to higher revenue generation. Film
exhibition costs were $135.0 million, or 52.9% of admissions, as compared to
$132.1 million, or 53.1% of admissions in 1998. Concession costs decreased to
$14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $15.1 million
for the same period in 1998. This decrease is due to the lower attendance during
the first four months of 1999. Other theatre costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 were relatively flat at $142.5 million compared to $141.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. There were no individually
material changes in salaries, supplies and utilities which would require
itemized disclosure. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of operations
decreased to 79.5% in the first nine months of 1999 from 79.7% in the first nine
months of 1998.

Depreciation and amortization increased 9.2% from $9.8 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998 to $10.7 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1999. This increase is due to the newer theatres brought on line through the
period, partially offset by the reduced depreciation expense from the reduction
in asset values as a result of the impairment charge recognized in 1998.
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
increased 9.0% to $30.3 million from $27.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. This increase is also due to the reasons enumerated above.

Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased 42.6% to
$9.7 million from $6.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This
increase is due to higher levels of average indebtedness outstanding and to a
higher aggregate cost of debt of 8.5% versus the aggregate cost of debt of 6.6%
in the quarter ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 increased 33.7% to $26.2 million from $19.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 for the reasons stated above.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a decrease in the
estimated restructuring costs reported in the fourth quarter of 1998 (see the
Company's 1998 Annual Report and the 1998 Form 10-K). This credit was the result
of a lessor initiated early buyout of a lease on one of the properties included
in the restructuring plan. The amount of this credit was $2.7 million, or $1.7
million net of income taxes.

<PAGE>   12

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

During the period ended March 31, 1999, the Company recognized an extraordinary
charge of $10.1 million ($6.3 million net of income tax benefit, or $.55 per
diluted share) for the prepayment premiums paid in connection with the
redemption of senior notes and the elimination of certain deferred debt costs
related to indebtedness which was retired in February 1999.

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 had working capital
deficits of $74.2 million and $55.8 million at September 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively. These deficits are financed through the operating
"float" and through borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
At September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $5.2 million in cash and
short-term investments on hand and approximately $78.2 million was available
under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company's credit facilities contain 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.

On August 13, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock
repurchase program for the repurchase, from time to time, of approximately $4.0
million of Class A Common Stock to be held as treasury stock. As of September
30, 1999, the Company has purchased 11,800 shares of Class A Common Stock at an
average purchase price of $13.05 per share.

The Company's capital expenditures arise principally in connection with the
development of new theatres, renovation and expansion of existing theatres and
theatre acquisitions. During the first nine months of 1999, such capital
expenditures totaled $141.9 million. The Company estimates that total capital
expenditures for 1999 will be approximately $155.0 million. The Company's
expansion plans for 1999 continue to focus on small to mid-sized communities
ranging in population size from 75,000 to 250,000 which can support the
development of multiplex theatres. The Company's prototype multiplex theatre can
be adapted and sized to fit varying populations and is designed to support a
community base of 40,000 people per screen.

Cash provided by operating activities was $33.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to cash provided by operating activities of
$37.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in cash
flow from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable and prepaid expenses which was partially offset by an increase in
accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities was $137.5 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $103.4 million in the
prior year period. This increase in cash used in investing activities was
primarily due to the increased level of capital expenditures. For the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, cash provided by financing activities
was $91.7 million and $55.3 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided
by financing activities was primarily due to the sale of $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and
borrowings of $75.0 million under the new Term Loan B facility, net of
repayments on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company believes that its presently anticipated capital needs for theatre
construction, renovation, stock repurchase and possible acquisitions will be
satisfied by the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand,
borrowings under the revolving credit line (see Note B of the Notes to Condensed


                                       12

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated Financial Item Statements (Unaudited) herein), additional sale of
debt and/or equity securities, additional bank financings and other forms of
long-term debt, internally generated cash flow and, where appropriate, future
lease financings or sale/leasebacks of theatre properties. On October 31, 1999,
the Company had approximately $7.1 million in cash and short term investments on
hand and approximately $45 million was available under the Company's revolving
credit line. No assurance can be given that the Company's business will generate
sufficient cash flows from operations, that currently anticipated revenue growth
and operating improvements will be realized or that future capital will be
available to the Company in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to pay
its indebtedness or to fund its other liquidity needs.


YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue refers generally to the data structure and processing
problem that may prevent systems from properly recognizing dates after the year
1999. The Year 2000 issue affects information technology ("IT") systems, such as
computer programs and various types of electronic equipment that process date
information by using only two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year, and thus may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. The issue also affects some non-IT systems, such as
devices which rely on a microcontroller to process the date information. The
Year 2000 issue could result in system failures or miscalculations, causing
disruptions of a company's operations. Moreover, even if a company's systems are
Year 2000 compliant, a problem may exist to the extent that the data that such
systems process is not.

Carmike implemented a Year 2000 compliance program designed to ensure that
Carmike's computer systems and applications will function properly beyond 1999.
Carmike's Year 2000 compliance program has three phases: (1) identification, (2)
remediation (including modification, upgrading and replacement) and (3) testing.
Carmike's Year 2000 compliance program is an ongoing process involving continual
evaluation and may be subject to a change in response to new developments.

Carmike has three material internal IT systems: (1) its accounting system, (2)
its proprietary IQ-Zero point-of-sale system and (3) a film system through which
Carmike manages the booking of the films shown in its theatres. Carmike has
completed the identification, remediation and testing phases with respect to all
three of these systems. Carmike has conducted a survey of its theatres and has
not identified any non-IT systems the failure of which to be Year 2000 compliant
would have a material adverse effect on Carmike's business, operating results or
financial condition. Carmike has surveyed its material vendors and suppliers
(including concession, technical and film suppliers) and the financial
institutions with whom it has material relationships. Based on such survey,
Carmike is not aware of any material third-party Year 2000 risks.

The cost of remediation of problems related to Year 2000 issues was less than
$50,000. This cost includes the cost of upgrading the Company's film system. As
of September 30, 1999, this plan has been completed and all components are in
compliance with Year 2000 issues.

If Carmike's internal IT systems do not function properly beyond 1999, Carmike
plans to operate such systems manually until any Year 2000 issues are
remediated. Such remediation may result in loss of data and information and
increased costs of operations. In addition, if the IQ-Zero system failed to
operate properly due to Year 2000 problems, local management staff may not be
able to focus their attention on their customers and theatre needs. Carmike
expects to maintain close contact with the third parties with whom Carmike has
material

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

relationships, such as vendors, suppliers and financial institutions, to ensure
that such third parties' Year 2000 issues do not affect Carmike's operations.


Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's fixed interest rate risk for long-term debt is limited to the
Company's $200 million 9 3/8% senior subordinated notes. As of September 30,

<F1>Extraordinary item - In connection with the restructuring indebtedness the
Company recognized a charge of $6.3 million ($10.1 million less applicable
income taxes) for (a) a prepayment premium (9.2 million) paid in connection
with the redemption of the senior notes, and (b) the elimination of deferred
debt costs ($.9 million) on retired indebtedness.
<F2>Other expenses - The Company revised its estimate of the total costs to be
incurred for its restructuring plan approved in December 1998. The $2.7
million decrease in estimated costs (approximately $1.7 million after income
taxes or $.15 per diluted share) was the result of a lessor initiated early
buyout of a lease included in the restructuring plan.
