REGAL CINEMAS, INC.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Regal Cinemas, Inc. ("Regal" or the "Company") is a leading regional motion
picture exhibitor in the eastern United States. Since its founding, Regal's
growth has come through the acquisition of a net of 114 theatres with 760
screens, the development of 42 theatres with 459 screens and the addition of 68
screens to existing theatres. Operations began with the acquisition of Regal's
first theatre in January 1990. As of January 2, 1997, Regal operated 156
multi-screen theatres with an aggregate of 1,287 screens and is the sixth
largest motion picture exhibitor in the United States based upon number of
screens in operation. In addition, at January 2, 1997, the Company had 14 new
theatres with 196 screens under construction and six screens under construction
at existing theatres.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee in
November 1989. The Company's principal offices are located at 7132 Commercial
Park Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee 37918, and its telephone number is (423)
922-1123.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The domestic motion picture exhibition industry is comprised of
approximately 350 exhibitors, 130 of which operate ten or more total screens. At
May 1, 1996, the five largest exhibitors operated approximately 34% of the total
screens in operation with no one exhibitor operating more than 9% of the total
screens. From 1986 through 1996 the net number of screens in operation in the
United States increased from approximately 22,000 to approximately 28,000, and
admissions revenues increased from approximately $3.8 billion to approximately
$5.8 billion. In an effort to realize greater operating efficiencies, operators
of multi-theatre circuits have emphasized the development of larger multi-screen
complexes. This trend is evidenced by the increase in the average number of
screens per location for the industry from approximately 3.5 screens in 1986 to
approximately 4.8 screens in 1996.
Theatrical motion picture exhibition is the initial way most films are made
available to the public to see. Management believes that forms of home
entertainment, such as cable television, video cassettes and pay per view, has
not adversely affected theatre admissions or the number of films released for
theatrical exhibition. Overall attendance has remained relatively stable over
the past ten years, with no single year varying more than approximately 10%
from the industry average of 1.15 billion during that period. Management
believes the number of films released for theatrical exhibition will remain
relatively stable or increase because a film's initial theatrical exhibition
success establishes the value of the film throughout its life cycle in
ancillary markets.
In recent years, there has been an increasing consolidation of the major
film production companies. During 1996, films distributed by the eight largest
film production companies accounted for approximately 92% of the domestic
admissions revenues and included 49 of the top 50 grossing films. Films are
licensed through film distributors, who typically establish geographic film
licensing zones and allocate each available film to one theatre within that
zone. See "Film Licensing."

<PAGE> 4
Historically, the motion picture exhibition industry has experienced some
seasonality, as major film distributors have generally released the films
expected to have the greatest commercial appeal during the summer and the
Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season. The seasonality of motion picture
exhibition, however, has become less pronounced in recent years as studios have
begun to release major motion pictures somewhat more evenly throughout the year.
STRATEGY
OPERATING STRATEGY. Management believes the following characteristics are
the key elements of its operating strategy:
- Multi-Screen Theatres. The Company's multi-screen theatres enable it
to offer a diverse selection of films; stagger movie starting times;
increase management's flexibility in determining the number of weeks
that a film will run and the size of the auditorium in which it is
shown; and serve patrons from common support facilities. These factors
result in increased attendance, improved utilization of theatre
seating capacity and operating efficiencies.
- Cost Control. Regal has designed prototype theatres adaptable to a
variety of locations, which management believes result in construction
and operating cost savings. The shifting of films to smaller
auditoriums within a theatre to accommodate changing attendance levels
allows the Company to exhibit films for extended periods, resulting in
lower film rental costs as a percentage of admission revenues. In
addition, a significant component of theatre level management's
compensation is based on controlling operating expenses at the theatre
level.
- Patron Satisfaction/Quality Control. Regal emphasizes conveniently
located, modern, high quality facilities that offer a wide variety
of films. To maintain quality and consistency within the Company's
theatres, Regal conducts regular inspections of each theatre and
operates a "mystery shopper" program. To enhance the movie going
experience, the Company invests in high quality projection and
stereo sound equipment, including the latest digital sound systems.
- Centralized Corporate Decision Making/Decentralized Operations.
Functions centralized through the Company's corporate office include
film licensing and concession purchasing, as well as decisions on
theatre construction and configuration. Cost controls at the theatre
level include close monitoring of concession, advertising and payroll
expenses. Regal devotes significant resources to training its theatre
managers, who are responsible for most aspects of its theatres'
day-to-day operations.
- Marketing. Regal actively markets its theatres through grand opening
promotions, including "VIP" preopening parties, direct mail campaigns,
television commercials in certain markets and promotional activities,
such as live music, spotlights and skydivers, which frequently
generate media coverage. Regal develops patron loyalty through a
number of marketing programs such as a summer children's film series
in which children's films are shown at reduced rates during the
morning hours. Regal also utilizes special marketing programs for
specific films and concession items.
GROWTH STRATEGY. Management believes that the following characteristics are
the key elements of its growth strategy:
2
<PAGE> 5
- Develop New Theatres in Existing and Target Markets. At January 2,
1997, the Company had 14 theatres with 196 screens under construction
and currently plans to develop 250 to 300 screens annually for the
next several years. Regal will seek to develop multi-screen theatres
with at least ten screens in both its existing markets and in other
mid-sized metropolitan markets and suburban growth areas of larger
metropolitan markets in the eastern United States. Management will
continue to locate theatres in areas that are under screened because
of changing demographic trends or that are served by aging theatre
facilities or by theatres having an insufficient number of screens.
Regal targets theatre locations with high visibility and convenient
roadway access in geographic film licensing zones in which it will be
the sole exhibitor. Regal continually reviews potential sites for
theatres, including both new construction and the conversion of
existing retail space.
- Add Screens to Existing Theatres. To enhance profitability and
maintain competitiveness at existing theatres, the Company will
continue to add additional screens where appropriate. The Company
currently has six screens under construction at existing theatre
facilities and anticipates the addition of 10 to 20 screens to certain
of its theatres. The addition of screens to existing theatres is
designed not to disrupt operations at the theatres.
- Acquire Theatres. While management believes that a significant portion
of its future growth will come through the development of new
theatres, Regal will continue to consider strategic acquisitions of
complementary theatres or theatre circuits at which Regal can improve
profitability and increase screen counts. Since its inception through
January 2, 1997, Regal has acquired a net of 114 theatres with 760
screens, which has served to establish and enhance the Company's
presence in selected geographic markets.
- Develop Complementary Theatre Concepts. To complement the Company's
theatre development, Regal opened comprehensive family entertainment
centers in Chesapeake, Virginia, Rochester, New York and Syracuse, New
York. The Company currently has three additional FunScapes(TM) under
construction and may seek to develop additional FunScape(TM) complexes
at strategic locations.
THEATRE OPERATIONS
As of January 2, 1997, Regal operated 156 multi-screen theatres with an
aggregate of 1,287 screens in 20 states. Since inception, Regal has increased
its average screens per location from 4.8 to 8.3 screens, as compared to the
average for the five largest domestic motion picture exhibitors of approximately
5.7 screens at May 1, 1996. Multi-screen theatres enable the Company to offer a
wide selection of films attractive to a diverse group of patrons residing within
the drawing area of a particular theatre complex. Varied auditorium seating
capacities within the same theatre enable the Company to reduce film rental
costs by exhibiting films for a longer period of time through the shifting of
films to smaller auditoriums to meet changing attendance levels. In addition,
operating efficiencies are realized through the economies of having common box
office, concession, projection, lobby and rest room facilities, which enable the
Company to spread certain costs, such as payroll, advertising and rent, over a
higher revenue base. Staggered movie starting times also minimize staffing
requirements, reduce lobby congestion and contribute to more desirable parking
and traffic flow patterns.
Regal has designed prototype theatres, adaptable to a variety of locations,
which management believes result in construction and operating cost savings.
Regal's multi-screen theatre complexes, which typically contain auditoriums
having from 100 to 500 seats each, feature wall-to-wall screens, digital stereo
surround-sound, multi-station concessions, computerized ticketing systems, plush
seating with cup holders,
3
<PAGE> 6
neon-enhanced interiors and exteriors, and video game areas adjacent to the
theatre lobby. Approximately 70% of the Company's screens are less than eight
years old. In addition, the Company has a continuing program to maintain clean,
comfortable and modern facilities. Management believes that maintaining a
theatre circuit consisting primarily of modern multi-screen theatres also
enhances the Company's ability to license commercially successful modern films
from distributors. See "Film Licensing."
Functions centralized at the Company's corporate office include site
selection, lease negotiation, theatre design and construction, coordination of
film selection, concession purchasing, advertising and financial and accounting
activities. Regal's theatre operations are under the supervision of its Chief
Operating Officer and are divided into two geographic divisions, each of which
is headed by a Vice President supervising several district theatre supervisors.
The district theatre supervisors are responsible for implementing Company
operating policies and supervising the managers of the individual theatres, who
are responsible for most of the day-to-day operations of the Company's theatres.
Regal seeks theatre managers with experience in the motion picture exhibition
industry and requires all new managers to complete a training program at
designated training theatres. The program is designed to encompass all phases of
theatre operations, including the Company's philosophy, management strategy,
policies, procedures and operating standards.
Management closely monitors the Company's operations and cash flow through
daily reports generated from computerized box office terminals located in each
theatre. These reports permit the Company to maintain an accurate and immediate
count of admissions by film title and show times and provide management with the
information necessary to effectively and efficiently manage the Company's
theatre operations. To maintain quality and consistency within the Company's
theatre circuit, the district supervisors regularly inspect each theatre and the
Company operates a "mystery shopper" program, which involves unannounced visits
by unidentified customers who report on the quality of service, film
presentation and cleanliness at individual theatres. Regal has an
incentive compensation program for theatre level management which rewards
managers for controlling theatre level operating expenses while complying with
the Company's operating standards.
In addition to revenues from box office admissions, Regal receives revenues
from concession sales and video games located adjacent to the theatre lobby.
Concession sales constituted 28.2% of total revenues for fiscal 1996. Regal
emphasizes prominent and appealing concession stations designed for rapid
service and efficiency. Although popcorn, candy and soft drinks remain the best
selling concession items, the Company's theatres offer a wide range of
concession choices. Regal continually seeks to increase concession sales through
optimizing product mix, introducing special promotions from time to time and
training staff to cross sell products. In addition to traditional concession
stations, certain of the Company's existing theatres and theatres currently
under development feature specialty concession cafes serving items such as
cappuccino, fruit juices, cookies and muffins, soft pretzels and yogurt.
Management negotiates directly with manufacturers for many of its concession
items to ensure adequate supplies and to obtain competitive prices.
Regal relies upon advertisements including movie schedules published in
newspapers to inform its patrons of film selections and show times. Newspaper
advertisements are typically displayed in a single grouping for all of the
Company's theatres located in the newspaper's circulation area. Primary multi-
media advertising campaigns for major film releases are carried out and paid for
by the film distributors.
The Company conducts marketing efforts throughout the year to promote
specific films, concession items and its theatre complexes. Regal markets its
new theatres through grand opening promotions, including "VIP" preopening
parties, direct mail campaigns, radio and television commercials in certain
markets and promotional activities such as live music, spotlights and skydivers,
which frequently generate
4
<PAGE> 7
media coverage. Regal's theatres also exhibit previews of coming attractions and
films presently playing on the Company's other screens in the same market area.
Regal operates 14 theatres with an aggregate of 86 screens, which exhibit
second run movies and charge lower admission prices (typically $1.50). These
movies are the same high quality features shown at all of Regal's theatres. The
terminology "second run" is an industry term for the showing of movies after the
film has been shown for varying periods of time at other theatres. Regal
believes that the increased attendance resulting from lower admission prices and
the lower film rental costs of second run movies compensate for the lower
admission prices and slightly higher operating costs as a percentage of
admission revenues at the Company's discount theatres. The design, construction
and equipment in the Company's discount theatres are of the same high quality as
its first run theatres. Regal's discount theatres generate theatre level cash
flows similar to Regal's first run theatres. Management does not anticipate a
significant increase in the percentage of discount theatres in its theatre
circuit.
As of January 2, 1997, Regal operated 104 of its 156 theatres pursuant to
lease agreements, owns the land and building for 37 theatres and operates
pursuant to ground leases at 15 locations. Of the 156 theatres operated by Regal
as of January 2, 1997, 114 were acquired and 42 have been developed by Regal.
FILM LICENSING
Regal licenses films from distributors on a film-by-film and
theatre-by-theatre basis. Film buyers negotiate directly with film distributors
on behalf of the Company. Prior to negotiating for a film license, the Company
and its film buyers evaluate the prospects for upcoming films. Criteria
considered for each film include cast, director, plot, performance of similar
films, estimated film rental costs and expected Motion Picture Association of
America rating. Successful licensing depends greatly upon the exhibitor's
knowledge of trends and historical film preferences of the residents in markets
served by each theatre, as well as on the availability of commercially
successful motion pictures. Historically, Tri-State Theatre Services, Inc., an
independent film booking agency which is controlled by a director of the Company
("Tri-State"), provided film licensing services for Regal. During 1996, Regal
changed its operations to perform those services internally. Tri-State will
continue to provide consulting services on film recognition and strategy.
Films are licensed from film distributors owned by major film production
companies and from independent film distributors that generally distribute films
for smaller production companies. Film distributors typically establish
geographic film licensing zones and allocate each available film to one theatre
within that zone. Film zones generally encompass a radius of three to five miles
in metropolitan and suburban markets, depending primarily upon population
density. Regal believes that approximately 72% of its theatres are now located
in film licensing zones in which they are now the sole exhibitors, permitting
the Company to exhibit many of the most commercially successful films in these
zones.
In film zones where Regal is the sole exhibitor, the Company obtains film
licenses by selecting a film from among those offered and negotiating directly
with the distributor. In film zones where there is competition, 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 bidding process to
license their films. When films are licensed through a bidding process,
exhibitors compete for licenses based upon economic terms. Regal currently does
not bid for films in any of its markets, although it may be required to do so in
the future. Although Regal
5
<PAGE> 8
predominantly licenses "first run" films, if a film has substantial remaining
potential following its first run, the Company may license it for a second run.
Film distributors establish second run availability on a national or
market-by-market basis after the release from first run theatres.
Film licenses entered into in either a negotiated or bidding process
typically specify rental fees based on the higher of a gross receipts formula or
theatre admissions revenue formula. Under a gross receipts formula, the
distributor receives a specified percentage of box office receipts, with the
percentage declining over the term of the film run. First run film rental fees
may begin at up to 70% of admission revenues and gradually decline to as low as
30% over a period of four to seven weeks. Second run film rental fees typically
begin at 35% of admission revenues and often decline to 30% after the first
week. Under a theatre admissions revenue formula, the distributor receives a
specified percentage of the excess of admission revenues over a negotiated
allowance for theatre expenses. In addition, Regal is occasionally required to
pay non-refundable guarantees of film rental fees or to make refundable advance
payments of film rental fees or both in order to obtain a license for a film.
Rental fees actually paid by the Company generally are adjusted subsequent to
the exhibition of a film in a process known as settlement. The commercial
success of a film relative to original distributor expectations is the primary
factor taken into account in the settlement process; secondarily, the past
performance of other films in a specific theatre is a factor. To date, the
settlement process has not resulted in material adjustments in the film rental
fees accrued by the Company.
Regal's business is dependent upon the availability of marketable motion
pictures and its relationships with distributors. Many distributors provide
quality first run movies to the motion picture exhibition industry; however,
eight distributors accounted for approximately 92% of industry admission
revenues during 1996, and 49 of the top 50 grossing films. No single distributor
dominates the market. Disruption in the production of motion pictures by the
major studios and/or independent producers or lack of commercial success of
motion pictures would have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business. Regal licenses films from each of the major distributors and believes
that its relationship with distributors are good. From year to year, the
revenues attributable to individual distributors will vary widely depending upon
the number and quality of films each distributes. Based on industry statistics,
Regal believes that in 1996 no single distributor accounted for more than 22% of
the films licensed by the Company, or films producing more than 22% of the
Company's admission revenues.
ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS
To complement the Company's theatre development, Regal developed and
operates comprehensive family entertainment centers in Chesapeake, Virginia,
Rochester, New York and Syracuse, New York. Each complex, includes a 13 screen
theatre and a 50,000 square foot family entertainment center. Each theatre
facility exhibits first run films, is equipped with the latest Dolby and DTS
digital sound systems, and features an oversized lobby with two concession
stands and a specialty cafe. A food court connects the theatres to the
entertainment center and features nationally recognized brand name pizza, taco,
sandwich and dessert restaurants.
The entertainment center generally will feature a 36-hole, tropical-themed
miniature golf course, a children's soft play and exercise area, multi-level
laser tag, video batting cages, a video golf course, helmet type and motion
simulator virtual reality units and a high-tech video arcade. In addition, the
center contains eight party rooms for various social gatherings. The two level
family entertainment center is totally enclosed and under roof for year-round
operation.
Each theatre and entertainment center totals approximately 95,000 square
feet and management believes the facility is a comprehensive entertainment
destination. The Company currently has three
6
<PAGE> 9
additional FunScape(TM) complexes under construction and may seek to develop
additional FunScape(TM) complexes at strategic locations. The $5.0 million to
$6.0 million estimated cost of construction of the entertainment center is
comparable to the cost of constructing the adjacent theatre complex. The Company
is financing the construction of the entertainment centers and the attached
theatre facility through cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowings
available under its credit facility.
COMPETITION
The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive, particularly
in licensing aspects of films, attracting patrons and finding new theatre
sites. Theatres operated by national and regional circuits and by smaller
independent exhibitors compete with the Company's theatres. Regal believes that
the principal competitive factors in film licensing include licensing terms,
the seating capacity, location and reputation of an exhibitor's theatres, the
quality of projection and sound equipment at the theatres and the exhibitor's
ability and willingness to promote the films. Competition for patrons is
dependent upon factors such as the availability of popular films, the location
of theatres, the comfort and quality of theatres and ticket prices. Regal
believes that it competes favorably with respect to each of these factors.
There are approximately 350 participants in the domestic motion picture
exhibition industry. Industry participants vary substantially in size, from
small independent operators of a single screen theatre to large national chains
of multi-screen theatres affiliated with entertainment conglomerates. Many of
the Company's competitors have been in existence significantly longer than Regal
and may be better established in certain of the markets where the Company's
theatres are located.
Other theatre operators also have sought to increase the number of
theatres and screens in operation. Such increases may cause certain local
markets or portions thereof to become over screened, resulting in a negative
impact on the earnings of the theatres involved and thus on the Company's
theatres in those markets. Concurrent with the increase in the number of
screens, there has been a reduction in the number of theatre locations and a
consolidation among exhibitors. At May 1, 1996, the five largest motion picture
exhibition companies operated approximately 34% of the total screens, the
largest of which operated less than 9% of the total screens.
The motion picture exhibition industry faces competition from a number of
motion picture exhibition delivery systems. In recent years alternative delivery
systems have been developed for the exhibition of filmed entertainment,
including cable television, video cassettes and pay per view. While the impact
of such delivery systems on movie theatres is difficult to determine precisely,
there can be no assurance that they will not adversely impact attendance at the
Company's theatres. Movie theatres also face competition from other forms of
entertainment competing for the public's leisure time and disposable income.
REGULATION
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.
Regal has never been a party to any of such cases, but the manner in which it
can license films is subject to consent decrees resulting from these cases.
Consent decrees which predate the formation of the Company, bind certain major
film distributors and require the films of such distributors to be offered and
licensed to exhibitors, including the Company, on a theatre-by-theatre basis.
Consequently, exhibitors cannot assure themselves of a supply of films by
entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must
negotiate for licenses on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.
7
<PAGE> 10
The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all current
applicable regulations relating to accommodations for the disabled. Regal
intends to comply with future regulations in that regard, and the Company does
not currently anticipate that compliance will require the Company to expend
substantial funds.
Regal's theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local
laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship, and
health and sanitation requirements and licensing. Approximately 58% of the
Company's employees are paid at the federal minimum wage and, accordingly,
the minimum wage largely determines the Company's labor costs for those
employees.
EMPLOYEES
As of fiscal year end 1996, Regal employed 4,227 persons, of which 608 were
full-time and 3,619 were part-time employees. Of the Company's employees, 131
are corporate personnel, 362 are theatre management personnel and the remainder
are hourly theatre personnel. Film projectionists at 27 of the Company's
theatres in the Cleveland, Ohio, Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Richmond, Virginia
markets are represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada
pursuant to collective bargaining agreements. These collective bargaining
agreements expire over various periods through December 1997. Regal's expansion
into new markets may increase the number of employees represented by unions.
Regal considers its employee relations to be good.
RISK FACTORS
In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is including the following cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those projected in forward looking statements
of the Company made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
Expansion Plans. Regal's continued ability to expand will depend on a
number of factors, including the selection and availability of suitable
locations, the hiring and training of sufficiently skilled management and
personnel, the availability of adequate financing and other factors, some of
which are beyond the control of the Company. There is no assurance that
all of Regal's planned new theatres can be operated profitably.
Dependence on Films. The ability of Regal to operate successfully depends
upon a number of factors, the most important of which is the availability of
marketable motion pictures. Poor relationships with distributors, a disruption
in the production of motion pictures or poor commercial success of motion
pictures could have a material adverse effect upon Regal's business.
See " - Film Licensing."
Fluctuations in Quarterly Results of Operations. Regal's revenues have been
seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major
distributors. Generally, the most marketable motion pictures have been released
during the summer and the Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season. The
unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter the
traditional trend. The timing of such releases can have a significant effect on
Regal's results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not
necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter. The seasonality of
motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced in recent years
as studios have begun to release major motion pictures somewhat more evenly
throughout the year.
Competition. The motion picture exhibition industry is highly competitive,
particularly with respect to licensing films, attracting patrons and finding new
theatre sites. There are a number of well-established competitors. Many of
Regal's competitors have been in existence significantly longer than Regal and
may be better established in the markets where Regal's theatres are or may be
located.
8
<PAGE> 11
Alternative motion picture exhibition delivery systems exist for the
exhibition of filmed entertainment, including cable television, video
cassettes and pay per view. An expansion of such delivery systems could have a
material adverse effect upon Regal's business. See " Film Licensing" and " -
Competition."
Dependence on Senior Management. Regal's success depends upon the continued
contributions of its senior management, including Michael L. Campbell, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The loss of the services
of one or more of Regal's senior management could have a material adverse effect
upon its business and development. Regal's loan agreement provides that Mr.
Campbell or a successor reasonably acceptable to Regal's lenders must be
employed as Chief Executive Officer. Regal has an employment agreement with Mr.
Campbell.
Volatility of Market Price. From time to time, there may be significant
volatility in the market price for Regal common stock. Quarterly operating
results of Regal or of other motion picture exhibitors, changes in general
conditions in the economy, the financial markets or the motion picture industry,
natural disasters or other developments affecting Regal or its competitors could
cause the market price of the Regal common stock to fluctuate substantially. In
addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market
prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their
operating performance.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of January 2, 1997, Regal operated 104 of its 156 theatres pursuant to
lease agreements, owns the land and buildings for 37 theatres and operates
pursuant to ground leases at 15 locations. Of the 156 theatres operated by Regal
as of January 2, 1997, 114 were acquired as existing theatres and 42 have been
developed by Regal.
The majority of Regal's leased theatres are subject to lease agreements
with original terms of 20 years or more and, in most cases, renewal options for
up to an additional ten years. The renewal options generally provide for
increased rent. These leases provide for minimum annual rentals. Under certain
conditions, further rental payments may be based on a percentage of revenues
above specified amounts. A significant majority of the leases are net leases,
which require Regal to pay the cost of insurance, taxes and a portion of the
lessor's operating costs.
Regal's corporate office is located in approximately 40,000 square feet of
space in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Company purchased the corporate office
property in the second quarter of 1994.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of Regal Cinemas, Inc. ("Regal") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Litchfield
Theatres, Ltd. ("Litchfield"), Neighborhood Entertainment, Inc. ("Neighborhood")
and Georgia State Theatres, Inc. ("GST") (collectively referred to as the
"Company") should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. Regal
consummated the acquisitions of Litchfield, Neighborhood, and GST on June 15,
1994, April 17, 1995, and May 30, 1996, respectively. These three acquisitions
have been accounted for as poolings of interests.
BACKGROUND OF REGAL
Regal has achieved significant growth in theatres and screens since its
formation in November of 1989. Since inception through January 2, 1997, Regal
acquired 114 theatres with 760 screens, developed 42 new theatres with 459
screens and added 68 new screens to acquired theatres. Theatres developed by
Regal typically generate positive theatre level cash flow within the first three
months following commencement of operation and reach a mature level of
attendance within one to three years following commencement of operation. Regal
does not defer any pre-opening costs associated with opening its theatres and
expenses such costs in the periods incurred. Theatre closings have had no
significant effect on the operations of Regal.
On April 8, 1994, Regal completed the acquisition of 13 theatres from
National Theatre Holdings Corp. The purchase price of the acquisition was
approximately $24.5 million and the assumption of certain obligations totaling
$500,000, which Regal funded from cash on hand and borrowings available under
the then $60 million revolving credit facility. On April 28, 1995, the Company
completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets of three companies
which held four theatres with 40 screens. Consideration for the transaction was
approximately $14.3 million cash and other consideration and 241,313 shares of
Regal common stock. On September 13, 1996, Regal completed the purchase of
assets consisting of eight theatres with 69 screens in California from an
individual, George Krikorian and corporations controlled by him (collectively
"Krikorian"). The purchase price was approximately $14.0 million cash and
703,241 shares of Regal common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenues are generated primarily from box office receipts and
concession sales. Additional revenues are generated by electronic video games
located adjacent to the lobbies of certain of the Company's theatres and by
on-screen advertisements and revenues from the Company's three entertainment
centers which are adjacent to theatre complexes. Direct theatre costs consist of
film rental costs, costs of concessions and theatre operating expenses. Film
rental costs are related to the popularity of a film and the length of time
since the film's release and generally decline as a percentage of admission
revenues the longer a film has been released. Because certain concession items,
such as fountain drinks and popcorn, are purchased in bulk and not pre-packaged
for individual servings, the Company is able to improve its margins by
negotiating volume discounts. Theatre operating expenses consist primarily of
theatre labor and occupancy costs. Future increases in minimum wage requirements
or legislation requiring additional employer funding of health care, among other
things, may increase theatre operating expenses as a percentage of total
revenues.

FISCAL YEARS ENDED JANUARY 2, 1997 AND DECEMBER 28, 1995
Total Revenues. Total revenues increased in 1996 by 32.7% to $269.8 million
from $203.4 million in 1995. This increase was due to a 22.8% increase in
attendance attributable primarily to the net addition of 252 screens in 1996. Of
the $66.4 million increase for 1996, $38.5 million was attributed to theatres
previously operated by the Company, $11.5 million was attributed to theatres
acquired by the Company, and $16.4 million was attributed to new theatres
constructed by the Company. Average ticket prices increased 7.0% during the
period, reflecting an increase in ticket prices and a greater proportion of
larger market theatres in 1996 than in the same period in 1995. Average
concession sales per customer increased 7.2% for the period, reflecting both an
increase in consumption and, to a lesser extent, an increase in concession
prices.
Direct Theatre Costs. Direct theatre costs in 1996 increased by 29.6% to
$192.6 million from $148.6 million in 1995. Direct theatre costs as a percentage
of total revenues decreased to 71.4% in 1996 from 73.0% in 1995. The decrease of
direct theatre costs as a percentage of total revenues was primarily
attributable to better monitoring and control of costs at the Company's
theatres, and, to a lesser extent, to a decrease in occupancy expense as a
percentage of total revenues, reflecting a higher mix of owned versus leased
properties.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased in 1996 by 19.4% to $9.3 million from $7.8 million in 1995,
representing administrative costs associated with the 1996 theatre openings and
projects under construction. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 3.4% in 1996 from 3.8% in 1995.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased in 1996 by 37.4% to $15.0 million from $10.9 million in 1995. This
increase was primarily the result of theatre property additions associated with
the Company's expansion efforts.
Operating Income. Operating income for 1996 increased by 46.8% to $51.2
million, or 19.0% of total revenues, from $34.9 million, or 17.2% of total
revenues, in 1995. Before the $1.6 million and $1.2 million of nonrecurring
merger expenses for 1996 and 1995, respectively, operating income was 19.6% and
17.8% of total revenues.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased in 1996 by 30.1% to $3.5
million from $5.0 million in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to lower
average borrowings outstanding.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased in 1996 by 58.7% to
$19.6 million from $12.3 million in 1995. The effective tax rate was 39.4% in
1996 as compared to 39.9% in 1995.
Net Income. Net income in 1996 increased by 65.9% to $30.0 million from
$18.1 million in 1995. Before nonrecurring merger expenses and extraordinary
items, net income was $31.2 million and $19.6 million for 1996 and 1995,
respectively, reflecting a 59.2% increase.

FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1995 AND DECEMBER 29, 1994
Total Revenues. Total revenues increased in 1995 by 19.0% to $203.4 million
from $170.9 million in 1994. This increase was the result of a 9.9% increase in
attendance attributable primarily to the net addition of 169 screens in 1995. Of
the $32.5 million increase for 1995, $11.4 million was attributed to theatres
previously operated by the Company, $7.1 million was attributed to theatres
acquired by the Company, and $14.0 million was attributed to new theatres
constructed by the Company. Average ticket prices increased 6.6% during the
period, reflecting a smaller proportion of discount theatres in 1995 than in the
same period in 1994 and, to a lesser degree, an increase in ticket prices.
Average concession sales per customer increased 7.8% for the period, reflecting
both an increase in consumption and, to a lesser extent, an increase in
concession prices.
Direct Theatre Costs. Direct theatre costs in 1995 increased by 14.6% to
$148.6 million from $129.7 million in 1994. Direct theatre costs as a percentage
of total revenues decreased to 73.0% in 1995 from 75.9% in 1994. The decrease of
direct theatre costs as a percentage of total revenues was primarily
attributable to better monitoring and control of costs at the Company's
theatres, especially acquired theatres, and, to a lesser extent, to a decrease
in occupancy expense as a percentage of total revenues, reflecting a higher mix
of owned versus leased properties.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased in 1995 by 6.1% to $7.8 million from $7.3 million in 1994,
representing administrative costs associated with the 1995 theatre openings and
projects under construction. As a percentage of total revenues, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 3.8% in 1995 from 4.3% in 1994.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased in 1995 by 37.9% to $10.9 million from $7.9 million in 1994. This
increase was primarily the result of theatre property additions associated with
the Company's expansion efforts.
Operating Income. Operating income for 1995 increased by 67.4% to $34.9
million, or 17.2% of total revenues, from $20.9 million, or 12.2% of total
revenues, in 1994. Before the $1.2 million and $5.1 million of nonrecurring
merger expenses for 1995 and 1994, respectively, operating income was 17.8% and
15.2% of total revenues.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased in 1995 by 19.5% to $5.0
million from $4.2 million in 1994. The increase was due to higher average
borrowings outstanding net of capitalized interest totaling $1.2 million during
1995, relating to projects under construction.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased in 1995 by 77.1% to
$12.3 million from $7.0 million in 1994. The effective tax rate was 39.9% in
1995 as compared to 40.4% in 1994.
Net Income. Net income in 1995 increased by 112.3% to $18.1 million from
$8.5 million in 1994. Before nonrecurring merger expenses and extraordinary
items, net income was $19.6 million and $13.9 million for 1995 and 1994,
respectively, reflecting a 41.0% increase.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from cash box
office receipts and concession sales, while film rental fees are ordinarily paid
to distributors 15 to 45 days following receipt of admission revenues. The
Company thus has an operating cash "float" which partially finances its
operations, reducing the Company's needs for external sources of working
capital.
16
<PAGE> 19
The Company's capital requirements have arisen principally in connection
with acquisitions of existing theatres, new theatre openings and the addition of
screens to existing theatres and have been financed with borrowings under the
Company's loan agreement, equity financings and internally generated cash. On
September 30, 1996, the Company amended its $150 million revolving credit
facility. The amendments to the loan agreement require that the indebtedness
under the facility be amortized at a rate of $7.5 million per quarter commencing
with the quarter ending September 30, 1999, and at a rate of $11.3 million per
quarter commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2001. The loan
agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial and other
covenants, including maintaining a minimum net worth of not less than $230.0
million plus 50%of the Company's net income for each quarter commencing with the
quarter ending June 27, 1996. On January 2, 1997, $51.0 million was outstanding
under the Company's loan agreement.
On April 17, 1995, Regal consummated the acquisition of Neighborhood for
814,755 shares of Regal common stock. In conjunction with this transaction, the
Company refinanced approximately $10 million of debt on Neighborhood's balance
sheet under the Company's revolving credit facility, and Neighborhood redeemed
its preferred stock for $1,150,000.
On April 28, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of two theatres
with 18 screens, one theatre with 14 screens and one theatre with eight screens
from Southern Cinemas, Inc., South Asheville Cinemas, Inc. and Cinemas South,
Inc., respectively. The respective theatres are located in Aiken and Charleston,
South Carolina, Asheville, North Carolina and Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Consideration for the transaction was approximately $14,300,000 cash and other
consideration and 241,313 shares of Regal common stock.
On May 30, 1996, the Company consummated the acquisition of GST for
1,410,213 shares of Regal common stock. In conjunction with the transaction, the
Company refinanced approximately $3 million of GST's debt under the Company's
revolving credit facility.
On June 10, 1996, the Company completed a secondary stock offering of
4,312,500 shares of the Company's common stock at $30.83 per share. The total
proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $126.5 million, net
of the underwriting discount and other expenses of $6.5 million and were used to
repay amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.
On September 13, 1996, the Company completed the purchase of assets
consisting of 8 theatres with 69 screens in California from an individual,
George Krikorian, and corporations controlled by him (collectively "Krikorian")
for consideration of 703,241 shares of Regal common stock and approximately
$14.0 million in cash.
At January 2, 1997, the Company had 156 multi-screen theatres with an
aggregate of 1,287 screens. At such date, the Company had 14 new theatres with
196 new screens and 6 new screens at one existing location under construction.
The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures over the next twelve
months will approximate $125 - $150 million. The Company believes that its
capital needs for completion of theatre construction and development for at
least the next 12 to 18 months will be satisfied by available credit under the
loan agreement, as amended, internally generated cash flow and available cash
and equivalents.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No.
128, Earnings Per Share (EPS). The Statement simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share by replacing the presentation of primary earnings
per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share. Additionally, the
Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the diluted EPS calculation. The Company plans to adopt the provisions of the
Statement 128 in fiscal year 1997 and the impact on the Company's financial
statements has not been determined.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors
Regal Cinemas, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regal Cinemas,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 28, 1995 and January 2, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January
2, 1997. 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. The consolidated financial statements give
retroactive effect to certain acquisitions, including Neighborhood
Entertainment, Inc., which have been accounted for as poolings of interests as
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. We did not audit
the financial statements of Neighborhood Entertainment, Inc. for 1994, which
statements reflect total revenues constituting 14% in 1994, of the related
consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Neighborhood Entertainment, Inc. is based solely on the
report of the other auditor.
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 and the report of the other auditor provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Regal Cinemas, Inc.
and Subsidiaries as of December 28, 1995 and January 2, 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January 2, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Regal Cinemas, Inc. (Regal) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Litchfield
Theatres, Ltd. (Litchfield), Neighborhood Entertainment Inc.
(Neighborhood), and Georgia State Theatres, Inc. (GST), collectively
referred to as the "Company" operate multi-screen motion picture theatres
principally throughout the eastern United States. The Company formally
operates on a fiscal year ending on the Thursday closest to December 31.
On June 15, 1994, Regal issued 8,706,068 shares of its common stock for all
of the outstanding common stock of Litchfield. On April 17, 1995, Regal
issued 814,755 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding common
stock of Neighborhood. On May 30, 1996, Regal issued 1,410,213 shares of
its common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of GST. The
mergers have been accounted for as poolings of interests and, accordingly,
these consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods
to include the results of operations and financial positions of Litchfield,
Neighborhood and GST.
Separate results of the combining entities for the years ended 1994, 1995
and 1996, are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Regal and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the
consolidated financial statements.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Repairs
and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from
disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense
when realized. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets. The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment
and intangibles for impairment losses by analyzing the operating
performance and future cash flows for each theatre. The Company adjusts the
net book value of the underlying assets if the sum of expected future cash
flows is less than book value.
CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. At December 28, 1995 and January 2, 1997, the Company held
approximately $3,850,000 and $12,916,000, respectively, in temporary cash
investments (valued at cost, which approximates market) in the form of
certificates of deposit and variable rate investment accounts with major
financial institutions.
INCOME TAXES - Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on
the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
INVENTORIES - Inventories consist of concession products and theatre
supplies and are stated on the basis of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost,
which is not in excess of net realizable value.
DEBT ACQUISITION AND LEASE COSTS (INCLUDED IN OTHER ASSETS) - Debt
acquisition and lease costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of
the related agreements.
DEFERRED RENT (INCLUDED IN OTHER LIABILITIES) - Rent expense is recognized
on a straight-line basis after considering the effect of rent escalation
provisions and rent holidays for newly opened theatres resulting in a level
monthly rent expense for each lease over its term.
DEFERRED REVENUE (INCLUDED IN OTHER LIABILITIES) - Deferred revenue relates
primarily to vendor rebates. Rebates are recognized as a reduction of costs
of concessions as earned.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS - Interest rate swaps are entered into as a hedge
against interest exposure of variable rate debt. The differences to be paid
or received on swaps are included in interest expense. The fair value of
the Company's interest rate swap agreements is based on dealer quotes.
These values represent the amounts the Company would receive or pay to
terminate the agreements taking into consideration current interest rates.
ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Unless indicated otherwise, the fair value of the Company's financial
instruments approximates carrying value.

3. ACQUISITIONS
In addition to the Litchfield, Neighborhood and GST mergers described in
Note 1, the Company completed the purchase of substantially all of the
assets of three companies which held four theatres with 40 screens in April
1995. The purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $14.3 million
cash and other consideration and 241,313 shares of Regal common stock.
Also, in September 1996, Regal completed the purchase of assets consisting
of eight theatres with 69 screens from an individual, George Krikorian, and
corporations controlled by him (collectively, "Krikorian") for
consideration of 703,241 shares of Regal common stock and approximately
$14.0 million cash.
These transactions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated at fair
value to the separately identifiable assets (principally property,
equipment, and leasehold improvements) of the respective theatre locations,
with the remaining balance allocated to goodwill, which is being amortized
on a straight line basis generally over twenty to thirty years. The results
of operations of these theatre locations have been included in the
financial statements for the periods subsequent to the acquisition date.
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for all periods
presented assume the individual acquisitions occurred as of the beginning
of the respective periods after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including depreciation, increased interest expense on acquisition debt and
related income tax effects. The pro forma results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of
operations which would actually have occurred had the combination been in
effect on the dates indicated, or which may occur in the future.

4. LEASES
Leases entered into by the Company, principally for theatres, are accounted
for as operating leases. The Company, at its option, can renew a
substantial portion of the leases at defined or then fair rental rates for
various periods. Minimum rentals payable under all noncancelable operating
leases with terms in excess of one year as of January 2, 1997, are
summarized for the following fiscal years:

Draw capability will expire on June 30, 1999. Repayment
of the outstanding balance on the credit facility will begin
September 30, 1999, and consist of 5% of the outstanding
balance on a quarterly basis through June 30, 2001.

Regal's credit facility contains various restrictive covenants which
require Regal to maintain certain financial ratios. During 1996, the
Company amended its Loan Agreement to decrease the interest rate, extend
the maturity of the facility to June 30, 2003, and modify certain financial
covenants.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT, CONTINUED
Upon consummation of the Litchfield and Neighborhood mergers, Regal
refinanced all existing debt of the respective acquired companies,
recognizing losses on extinguishments of debt (net of applicable income
taxes) of $1,752,000 in 1994 and $448,000 in 1995. Such losses are reported
as extraordinary items in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income.
The Company's debt at January 2, 1997, is scheduled to mature as follows:

========
</TABLE>
In March 1995, Regal entered into a seven-year interest rate swap agreement
for the management of interest rate exposure. At January 2, 1997, the
agreement had effectively converted $20 million of LIBOR floating rate debt
under the reducing revolving credit facility to a 7.32% fixed rate
obligation. Regal continually monitors its position and the credit rating
of the interest swap counterparty. The fair value of the interest swap
agreement was $(709,000) at January 2, 1997.
6. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
COMMON STOCK - Regal's common shares authorized, issued and outstanding
throughout the financial statements and notes reflect the retroactive
effect of stock issued in connection with the pooling transactions
described in Note 1 and the authorization of additional shares and the
effect of the three 3-for-2 stock splits authorized on November 14, 1994,
December 13, 1995 and September 16, 1996, respectively.
PREFERRED STOCK - The Company currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock authorized with none issued. The Company may issue the preferred
shares from time to time in such series having such designated preferences
and rights, qualifications and limitations as the Board of Directors may
determine.

In addition, the Company has the 1993 Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "1993 Directors' Plan"). Directors' stock options for the purchase of
20,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.30, 20,250 shares
at an exercise price of $12.33, and 20,250 shares at an exercise price of
$29.59 were granted during 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The exercise
price of all options granted under the 1993 Directors' Plan vest over 3
years and expire 10 years after the respective grant dates.
Warrants to purchase 158,455 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$1.21 per share expire in 1998. The Company has reserved a sufficient
number of shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the authorized
options and warrants.
The Company makes awards of restricted stock under its employee stock plans
as part of certain employees' incentive compensation. In general, the
restrictions lapse in the year following grant. Restricted stock awards
totaled 72,087 shares, 25,517 shares and 7,500 shares pursuant to 1994,
1995 and 1996 bonus awards, respectively.
Regal has elected to continue following Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans and its
outside directors' plan rather than the alternative fair value accounting
provided for under FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (Statement 123). Under APB 25, because the exercise price of
the Company's employee and director stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

6. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK, CONTINUED
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company has
accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for the employee and directors options granted
during fiscal years 1995 and 1996, was estimated at the date of grant using
a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.9% to 6.6% for 1995
grants and 6.0% to 6.9% for 1996 grants; volatility factors of the expected
market price of the Company's common stock of 32.8% and a weighted average
expected life of 5 years for employee options and 7 years for outside
director options. Additionally, the weighted average grant date fair value
of options granted in fiscal years 1995 and 1996 was $5.67 and $10.34 per
share, respectively.
As of January 2, 1997, Regal has 632,432, 792,705, 808,875, and 945,546
shares under option with exercise prices ranging from $1.21 - $3.86, $9.78
- $10.08, $12.34 - $17.06 and $22.00 - $29.75, respectively.
The option valuation model used by the Company was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the
expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee and
director options have characteristics significantly different from those of
traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the
fair values of its stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The pro
forma results do not purport to indicate the effects on reported net income
for recognizing compensation expense which are expected to occur in future
years. The Company's pro forma information for all 1995 and 1996 option
grants follows:

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors an employee benefit plan under section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code for the benefit of substantially all full-time
employees. The Company made discretionary contributions of approximately
$37,000 and $117,000 to the plans in 1995 and 1996, respectively. All
full-time employees are eligible to participate in the plan upon completion
of twelve months of employment with 1,000 or more hours of service, subject
to a minimum age of 21.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Primary earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income
applicable to common stock (net income less dividend requirements for
preferred stock) by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Shares issued in
connection with the Litchfield, Neighborhood and GST mergers have been
included in shares outstanding for all periods presented. Common equivalent
shares relating to options issued during the 12-month period preceding the
initial public offering have been calculated using the treasury stock
method assuming that the options were outstanding during each period
presented and that the fair value of the Company's common stock during each
period was equal to the initial public offering price. Common equivalent
shares relating to options issued subsequent to the initial public offering
have been calculated using the treasury stock method for the portion of
each period for which the options were outstanding and using the fair value
of the company's common stock for each of the respective periods. All per
share data has also been adjusted to give effect to the November 1994,
December 1995 and September 1996, respectively, common stock splits. After
giving effect to the items described above, primary earnings per common
share have been computed based on the assumed weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding in each period ((in
thousands) 26,658 shares in 1994; 28,473 shares in 1995; and 31,962 shares
in 1996). Fully diluted earnings per common share utilizes net income
before preferred dividends based on the assumed weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding in each period ((in
thousands) 26,831 shares in 1994; 28,644 shares in 1995; and 32,054 shares
in 1996).
