THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (Digiplex) and together with its subsidiaries (the Company) was incorporated in
the State of Delaware on July 29, 2010. Digiplex is the parent of wholly owned subsidiaries, DC Westfield Cinema LLC, DC Cranford Cinema LLC, DC Bloomfield Cinema LLC, DC Cinema Centers LLC, and DC Lisbon Cinema LLC, and intends to acquire
additional businesses operating in the theater exhibition industry sector.
On April 20, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of five movie
theaters located in Pennsylvania (Cinema Centers). On September 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of a movie theater located in Lisbon, Connecticut (the Lisbon). Accordingly, the operating results of these
businesses are included in the Companys consolidated results of operations from the respective acquisition dates.
In September 2012, the Company
and Nehst Media Enterprises (Nehst) formed a joint venture called Diginext. Under the joint venture agreement, Digiplex and Nehst each have a 50% ownership interest. Nehst will supply Diginext with periodic movie content and the Company
has the option to display such content at its locations on an exclusive basis, or may choose to allow non-Digiplex venues to also display the content. The Company pays film rent to Diginext as it would any other movie distributor, and any profits of
Diginext, from theatrical revenues as well as net revenues from other ancillary sources will be shared equally by the owners. The Company and Nehst have each made capital contributions of $5 and the Company is using the equity method to account for
its share of net income or loss from the joint venture. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the net income from the joint venture was not material. On December 10, 2012, Digiplex, together with Start Media, LLC (Start Media),
entered into a joint venture, Start Media/Digiplex, LLC (JV), a Delaware limited liability company, to acquire, refit and operate movie theaters. On December 11, 2012, wholly owned subsidiaries of JV executed Asset Purchase
Agreements, which were amended on December 13, 2012, to acquire seven movie theaters (six of which are located in southern California and one of which is near Phoenix, Arizona) (collectively, the Ultrastar Acquisitions) with an
aggregate of 74 fully digital screens from sellers affiliated with one another (collectively the Ultrastar Sellers). The operating results of the Ultrastar Acquisitions are included in the Companys consolidated results of
operations from the acquisition dates of each of the Ultrastar theaters.
On January 1 and February 1, 2013, JV entered into operating leases
directly with landlords, for a three screen theater in Sparta, NJ and a 16 screen theater in Solon, Ohio, respectively. No purchase price was paid. Both theaters were equipped with digital projection systems before rent commenced. As discussed in
Note 4, the operating results of these two theaters are included in the consolidated operating results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2013 from the lease commencement dates. Both theaters, as well as the seven former Ultrastar
theaters, are operated by Digiplex under management agreements.
The Company has determined that JV is a variable interest entity (VIE), and
that the Company is the primary beneficiary of JVs operations. Therefore, the Company is presenting JVs financial statements on a consolidated basis with a non-controlling interest.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company operates 18 theaters having 178 screens (the Theaters).
The Company has incurred net losses since inception. The Company also has contractual obligations related to its debt for the year ended June 30, 2013
and beyond. The Company may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. Based on the Companys cash position at June 30, 2013, and expected cash flows from operations, management believes that the Company has the ability to
meet its obligations through June 30, 2014. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or
liquidity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Digiplex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the JV, which is a VIE. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to film rent
expense settlements, depreciation and amortization, impairments, income taxes and assumptions used in connection with acquisition accounting. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are generated
principally through admissions on feature film displays and concessions sales, with proceeds received in cash or credit card at the Companys point of sale terminals at the Theaters. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Credit card sales
are normally settled in cash within approximately three business days from the point of sale, and any credit card chargebacks have been insignificant. Other revenue consists of theater rentals for parties, camps, civic groups and other activities,
advertising revenue under our advertising contract and our portion of game income, ATM fees and internet ticketing fees. Rental revenue is recognized at the time of the rental. Advertising revenue is recorded based on an expected per-patron amount
and the number of patrons over the contract period as the advertising is being delivered on screen. Other revenue items are recognized as earned in the period. In addition to traditional feature films, the Company also displays concerts, sporting
events, childrens programming and other non-traditional content on its screens (such content referred to herein as alternative content). Revenue from alternative content programming also consists of admissions and concession sales.
The Company also sells theater admissions in advance of the applicable event, and sells gift cards for patrons future use. The Company defers the revenue from such sales until considered redeemed. The Company estimates the gift card breakage
rate based on historical redemption patterns. Unredeemed gift cards are recognized as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical attendance, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and
regulations, in evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity is evaluated.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company held substantially all of its cash in checking accounts with major financial institutions, and had
cash on hand at the Theaters in the normal course of business.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reports accounts receivable net of any allowance for doubtful
accounts to represent managements estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews collectability of accounts receivable based on the aging
F-8
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
of the accounts and historical collection trends. When the Company ultimately concludes a receivable is uncollectible, the balance is written off. The Company has determined that an allowance for
doubtful accounts is not necessary at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverage concession products and related supplies. The Company states inventories on the basis of the first-in, first-out
method, stated at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the
lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method, over the
following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Lesser of lease term or estimated asset life
|
Building and improvements
|
|
17 years (end of remaining initial lease term)
|
Digital systems and related equipment
|
|
10 years
|
Equipment and computer software
|
|
35 years
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company generally evaluates assets for impairment on an individual theater basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value.
The Company considers actual theater level cash flows, future years budgeted theater level cash flows, theater property and equipment carrying values,
amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theater, competitive theaters in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its
assessment of impairment of individual theater assets. The fair value of assets is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows or the expected selling price less selling costs for assets of which the Company expects to
dispose. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value.
Leases
All of the Companys operations are conducted in premises occupied under non-cancelable lease agreements with initial and remaining base terms that range
from 2 to 17 years. The Company, at its option, can renew the leases at defined rates for various periods. Certain leases for the Theaters provide for percentage rent based on the revenue results of the underlying theater and require the payment of
taxes, insurance, and other costs
F-9
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
applicable to the property. The majority of the Companys leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions. There are no conditions imposed upon the Company by its lease agreements or by
parties other than the lessor that legally obligate the Company to incur costs to retire assets as a result of a decision to vacate its leased properties. None of the leases require the Company to return the leased property to the lessor in its
original condition (allowing for normal wear and tear) or to remove leasehold improvements. The Company accounts for leased properties under the provisions of ASC Topic 840, Leases and other authoritative accounting literature. The Company does not
believe that exercise of the renewal options in its leases are reasonably assured at the inception date of the lease agreements because the leases: (i) provide for either (a) renewal rents based on market rates or (b) renewal rents
that equal or exceed the initial rents, and (ii) do not impose economic penalties upon our determination of whether or not to exercise the renewal option. As a result, there are not sufficient economic incentives at the inception of the leases,
or to consider that lease renewal options are reasonably assured of being exercised and therefore, the Company generally considers the initial base lease term under ASC Subtopic 840-10.
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill at
June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3,156 and $980, respectively. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Under ASC Subtopic 350-20, IntangiblesGoodwill and
OtherGoodwill, the Company has identified its reporting units to be the designated market areas in which the Company conducts its theater operations. The Company determines fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology weighing the
income approach and market approach by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less any net indebtedness, which the Company believes is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to future
cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates to be used in determining fair value and such management estimates fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.
The changes in carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows:

|
|
The Companys annual goodwill impairment assessments indicated that the fair value of each of its reporting units
exceeded their carrying value and therefore, goodwill was not deemed to be impaired for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Intangible Assets
As of June 30, 2013 and
2012, finite-lived intangible assets totaled $8,293 and $4,591, before accumulated amortization of $2,107 and $477, respectively. Intangible assets to date are the result of acquisitions, are recorded initially at fair value, and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. See Note 3. The Company did not record any impairment of finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that could potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, if held, would be included in accounts receivable. Collateral is not required on accounts receivables. It is anticipated that in the event of default, normal
collection procedures would be followed.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Fair Value of Measurements
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
|
|
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
|
|
|
Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)
|
|
|
Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the Companys own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by
market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of the
Companys financial liabilities as of June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Earn-out from acquisitions is a liability to the sellers of the Rialto, the Cranford and the Lisbon theaters and is based upon
meeting certain financial performance targets. Estimates of the fair values of the earn-outs were estimated by a forecast of theater level cash flow, as defined by the asset purchase agreements. That measure is based on significant inputs that are
not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs.
The following summarized changes in the earn-outs during the year ended June 30,
2013:

Key assumptions underlying the initial Lisbon earn-out estimate include a discount rate of 12.5 percent and that Lisbon will
achieve its forecasted financial performance target in the one year earn-out period ending September 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company reduced the Lisbon earn-out from $550 to $296 based on actual and projected results compared to
the threshold in the asset purchase agreement, and recognized a fair value change of $254. As of June 30, 2013, the Company determined that no further earn-out payment is due to the sellers of the Rialto and Cranford theaters following the end
of the two year earn-out period ended June 30, 2013 based on actual results and accordingly, the Company recognized a fair value change of $79 as of June 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and note payable approximate their fair values, due
to their short term nature.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized by the Company for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment
date. The Company records a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company expects that certain deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be recovered due to history
of taxable losses and therefore has established a valuation allowance. The Company reassesses its need for the valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis.
Additionally, income tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation, require judgment by the Company and may be challenged by the taxing authorities.
In accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, the Company recognizes a tax benefit only for tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustainable based on the technical merits of the tax position. With respect to such tax positions for
which recognition of a benefit is appropriate, the benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of the
Companys process for determining the provision for income taxes. Any interest and penalties determined to result from uncertain tax positions will be classified as interest expense and other expense.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company recognizes rent
expense on a straight-line basis, after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent expense for each lease over its term.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs
primarily consist of unamortized debt issuance costs for the note payable, unamortized financing costs related to the formation of JV, and the fair value of warrants issued to Start Media, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
respective terms. The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.
Film Rent Expense
The Company estimates film rent expense and related film rent payable based on managements best estimate of the ultimate settlement of the film costs
with the film distributors. Generally, less than one-quarter of film rent expense is estimated at period-end, with the majority being agreed to under firm terms. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate
duration of the films theatrical run, but is typically settled within one to two months of a particular films opening release. Upon settlement with the film distributors, film rent expense and the related film rent payable is
adjusted to the final film settlement.
F-12
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The film rent expense on the statement of operations of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2013
and 2012 was reduced by virtual print fees VPFs of $1,025 and $273 respectively, under a master license agreement exhibitor-buyer arrangement with a third party vendor. VPFs represent a reduction in film rent paid to film distributors. Pursuant to
this master license agreement, the Company will purchase and own digital projection equipment and the third party vendor, through its agreements with film distributors, will collect and remit VPFs to the Company, net of a 10% administrative fee.
VPFs are generated based on initial display of titles on the digital projection equipment.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The amount of advertising expense incurred by the Company for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012,
was $186 and $44, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense to employees based on the fair value of the award at the grant date with expense recognized over the
service period, or vesting period, using the straight-line recognition method of awards subject to graded vesting.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes
valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is determined by the stock fair market value on the award date. The Company recognizes an estimate for forfeitures of unvested awards. These
estimates are adjusted as actual forfeitures differ from the estimate.
The Company also issues common stock to non-employees in exchange for services.
The Company measures and records stock-based compensation at fair value at the earlier of the date the performance commitment is reached or when the performance is complete. The expense recognized is based on the closing stock price of the
Companys stock issued.
Segments
As of
June 30, 2013, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations. All Company operations are located in the United States.
Recent Accounting Standards
In June 2011, the
FASB issued ASU 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders equity. Instead, an entity will be required
to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The provisions of this
guidance are effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2012 and are required to be applied retroactively. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2012.
In July 2012, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update, which amends guidance allowing an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine
whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This assessment should be used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the
quantitative impairment test. An entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity
F-13
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
determines, based upon its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying value. The update provides further guidance of events and
circumstances that an entity should consider in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. The update also allows an entity the option to bypass the
qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. An entity will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. This
update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective October 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have
a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
On September 29, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Lisbon theater, with 12 screens
located in Lisbon, Connecticut, from a third party seller for a purchase price of $6,664, which consisted of a cash payment of $6,014, a capital lease liability of $100, and an earn-out liability calculated based upon forecasted financial results
over a 12- month period following the closing, which the Company recorded at a fair value of $550. The expected range of the earn-out liability was $0 to $1,144. Accordingly, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The goodwill of $789 represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is mainly
attributable to the assembled work force and synergies expected to arise after acquisition of the business. The allocation of the purchase price is based on managements judgment after evaluating several factors, using assumptions for the
income and royalty rate approaches and the discounted earnings approach, and projections determined by Company management. The Company incurred approximately $74 in acquisition costs which is expensed and included in general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2013.

On December 21, 2012, the Company completed the Ultrastar Acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$13,131, consisting of $8,108 in cash, 887,623 shares of Digiplexs Class A common stock and capital lease liabilities of $309. The fair value of the 887,623 shares issued was $4,714, based on the trading price of the Digiplex Class A
common stock on the acquisition dates, less a 10% discount for restrictions on the sale of
F-14

the stock. The stock issued is the subject of a 180 day lock-up agreement, with further restrictions beyond that point. The JV assumed the operating leases for the theater premises, subject to
certain amendments of the leases and, in one case, executed a new lease with the landlord. The JV assumed certain capital leases and service contracts related to theater equipment. All other liabilities were retained by the sellers. The goodwill of
$1,387 represents the premium the Company paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is mainly attributable to the assembled work force and synergies expected to arise after acquisition of the business. The
allocation of the purchase price is based on managements judgment after evaluating several factors, using assumptions for the income and royalty rate approaches and the discounted earnings approach, and projections determined by Company
management. The Company incurred approximately $361 in acquisition costs which is expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Digiplexs initial contribution to JV in December 2012 was 615,204 shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and
Start Media contributed $8,000 in cash. These capital contributions were used for the Ultrastar Acquisitions. Digiplex contributed an additional 272,419 shares to the JV that were then issued to the
F-15
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Ultrastar sellers related to the post-closing adjustments. In January 2013 and May 2013, Start Media contributed $1,306 and $694 in cash, to fund anticipated capital expenditures for the
theaters. Digiplexs and Start Medias interest in the JV was adjusted accordingly. On January 1 and February 1, 2013, JV entered into operating leases, directly with landlords, for a three screen theater in Sparta, NJ and a 16
screen theater in Solon, Ohio, respectively. JV is managed by a four person board of managers, two of whom Digiplex designates and two of whom are designated by Start Media. Majority vote is required for JV actions. At June 30, 2013, Digiplex
and Start Media owned 33% and 67% of the equity of JV, respectively.
JV has a first right of refusal to acquire any theaters which the Company wishes to
acquire, except for any theaters within a ten mile radius of existing Digiplex owned theaters. If JV does not exercise its right of first refusal, the Company has the right to make the acquisition independently. The right of first refusal does not
apply to or restrict the Companys ability to manage theaters owned by unaffiliated third-parties. Digiplex has entered into agreements with JV (the Management Agreements) to manage the theaters it acquires and receives 5% of the
total revenue of the JV theaters operations annually as management fees. Management fees earned by Digiplex for the year ended June 30, 2013 were $543. JV records these fees as general and administrative expenses, and Digiplex records an
offset to general and administrative expenses. These fees are eliminated in consolidation.
Under the Management Agreements, Digiplex has full day-to-day
authority to operate the theaters owned by JV including: staffing, banking, content selection, vendor selection and all purchasing decisions. Digiplex is required to submit an annual operating budget to JV for each fiscal year ending June 30
for approval by the JV board of managers. In the event of any disagreements regarding the budget, there are dispute resolution procedures contained in the operating agreement (JV Operating Agreement).
Digiplexs and Start Medias respective percentage ownerships in JV will depend upon their respective aggregate capital contributions, in each case
denominated in units of membership interests. Start Media has committed to contribute up to $20,000 to JV, inclusive of the $10,000 capital contributions it had funded through June 30, 2013, for theater acquisitions and budgeted expenses. Start
Media will receive additional membership units in consideration for capital contributions in excess of its initial contribution as additional capital is required, based on the fair market value of JV determined under a formula set forth in the JV
Operating Agreement (the Formula). Digiplex has a right, but not the obligation, to contribute additional capital to JV, which under certain circumstances may be made by the issuance and delivery of shares of Digiplexs Class A
common stock to sellers of theaters acquired by JV, and thereby acquire additional membership units based on the Formula, provided that our percentage interest does not exceed 50% as the result of our acquisition of additional units.
Distributions of JV cash flow from operations will be made to the members at such time as determined by the JV board of managers. Start Media is entitled to a
6% preferred return on its capital contributions made to date, after which Digiplex receives a 6% preferred return on its capital contributions. Thereafter, distributions of cash flow from operations will be made pro rata in accordance with the
respective membership units of the members. In the case of liquidating distributions, Start Media will receive a 6% preferred return on and the return of its capital contributions prior to the Companys receipt of a 6% preferred return on and
the return of the Companys capital contributions, with further distributions pro rata to the respective membership units of the members.
Digiplex
and Start Media have agreed not to transfer their membership interests, except for certain permitted transfers for a three-year period and any subsequent transfers of membership interests are subject to the right of JV and the other member to
acquire the interests on such terms as a third party is willing to do so. In the event the Company experiences a change in control, as defined in the JV Operating Agreement, Start Media has a right to require the Company to acquire its membership
interest in JV.
F-16
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Digiplex is considered the primary beneficiary of the JV because it controls the operation of each JV owned
theater on a day to day basis in all material respects, including: the selection of content, all staffing decisions, all cash management and paying vendors, financial reporting, obtaining all necessary permits, insurances, and to plan and perform
capital improvements, to the extent such expenditures do not exceed certain levels as specified in the Management Agreements. Digiplex is also the guarantor of six of the nine leases entered into with third party landlords in the JV-owned theaters,
and is using its brand name to promote the theaters. Because JV is a VIE, and Digiplex is deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the operations of JV.
Net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest on the statement of operations represents the portion of net loss attributable to the economic and legal
interest in JV held by Start Media.
In January 2013, JV entered into an agreement to pay a third party $450 as an advisory fee for services rendered in
connection with the formation of the JV and related agreements. Digiplex and Start Media have each agreed to fund $225 to the JV as a capital contribution and the JV will in turn pay the advisory fee in twelve monthly installments commencing January
2013. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining $225 due to the third party is reflected in accrued expenses and as a receivable from Start Media, and $450 is reflected in deferred financing costs and as investments in the JV by Digiplex and Start
Media.

Rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases was $4,510 and $885 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. Certain of the Companys Theater leases require the payment of percentage rent if certain revenue targets are exceeded. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $149 and $25, respectively, of
percentage rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
CAPITAL LEASES
The Company leases certain theater equipment under capital leases that expire to 2018, with imputed interest rates of 8.0% per annum. Repayment of the
capital lease obligation is based on a percentage of revenue generated from the usage of the underlying theater equipment. The assets are being amortized over the shorter of their lease terms or their estimated useful lives. The applicable
amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of assets under capital leases during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $54 and $0, respectively.
The following is a summary of property held under capital leases included in property and equipment:

In connection with the acquisition of the Cinema Centers theaters on April 20, 2012, the Company issued to the seller a note payable
for $1,000, due on September 17, 2012 and bearing interest at 6.0% per annum. The note payable was repaid on September 17, 2012, less $168 in offsets related to repairs and replacements of equipment and leasehold improvements the
Company made subsequent to the closing of the acquisition. In November 2012, the Company and the seller agreed to share these costs equally, and the Company paid the seller $84 to settle the matter in full satisfaction of the note payable.
On September 28, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Northlight Trust I for $10,000 due September 28, 2017, at an interest rate
equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 10.50% per annum, with a 2.5% floor (the Northlight loan). The Company expects the 2.5% floor to be applicable due to the current LIBOR rates. During the first 18 months from the closing date, all interest
in excess of 10.00% per annum that would otherwise be paid in cash during the 18-month period may, at the Companys option, be paid in kind (PIK interest), and thereafter all interest due is payable in cash. PIK interest, if
any, will be added to the principal balance of the loan. The Company primarily used the net proceeds from the Northlight loan to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Lisbon, pay the obligation to a vendor for digital systems, pay
fees and expenses associated with the Northlight loan and the Lisbon acquisition, and to provide working capital. Interest and principal payments under the terms of the Northlight loan commenced on October 31, 2012. The Northlight loan is
collateralized by, among other things, the Companys membership interest in each of the Companys operating subsidiaries and all of the operating subsidiaries assets, including the theater leases, and requires meeting certain
financial covenant ratios. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. Total deferred financing costs recorded as of June 30, 2013 was $374. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $56 and $0
of amortization expense was included in interest expense on the statement of operations
.
The principal payments due as of June 30, 2013 over
the remainder of the term of the Northlight loan are summarized as follows, in fiscal years:

At June 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of
approximately $4,656 with expiration commencing in 2018 for state and 2031 for federal. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, certain substantial changes in the Companys ownership may result in a limitation on the amount of net
operating losses that may be utilized in future years.
F-22
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
In assessing the realizable value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which these temporary differences become
deductible. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013 and 2012, totaling approximately $2,842 and $1,125 respectively, as management believes it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax
assets will not be realized in future tax periods. Future reductions in the valuation allowance associated with a change in managements determination of the Companys ability to realize these deferred tax assets will result in a decrease
in the provision for income taxes. Management will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets at each interim and annual balance sheet date based on actual and forecasted operating results.
The Companys tax provisions for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, had an unusual relationship to pretax loss mainly because of the existence
of a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance at the beginning of each year. This circumstance generally results in a zero net tax provision since the income tax expense or benefit that would otherwise be recognized is offset by the change to the
valuation allowance. However, tax expense recorded for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 included the accrual of non-cash tax expense of approximately $160 and $27, respectively, of additional valuation allowance in connection with the tax
amortization of indefinite-lived intangible assets that was not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed a naked credit).
The
Company utilizes accounting principles under ASC Subtopic 740-10 to assess the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in income taxes. As of and for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax
benefits. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Companys years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 remain open for
examination by the tax authorities.
Goodwill expected to be deductible for income tax purposes for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was $75
and $59, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and is not aware of any current, pending
or threatened litigation that could materially impact the Company.
The Company has entered into employment contracts, to which we refer to as the
employment contracts, with four of its current executive officers. Under the employment contracts, each executive officer is entitled to severance payments in connection with the termination of the executive officers employment by
the Company without cause, by the executive officer for good reason, or as a result of a change in control of the Company (as such terms are defined in the employment contracts). Pursuant to the employment
contracts, the maximum amount of payments and benefits in the aggregate, if such executives were terminated (in the event of a change of control) would be approximately $1,505.
A. Dale Mayo, the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is entitled to additional compensation based on the amount of revenues the Company
generates, as specified in his employment contract. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $382 of compensation expense under the agreement, consisting of $260 in cash and $122 in non-cash compensation in the form of
21,367 shares of Class A common stock at $5.71 per share, based on the closing price as of June 28, 2013, the last trading day of the fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $53 of compensation
expense in the form of cash under this arrangement.

Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Class A common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Each holder of Class B common stock will be
entitled to ten votes for each outstanding share of Class B common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Except as required by law, the Class A and the Class B common stock will vote
together on all matters. Upon any transfer of Class B common stock by the Companys CEO, such transferred shares will be converted to Class A shares and the converted Class B shares shall be retired and are not available for reissuance.
Subject to the dividend rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose, and, subject to the liquidation
preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all the Companys remaining assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of the Companys
liquidation, dissolution or winding up. No dividend can be declared on the Class A or Class B common stock unless at the same time an equal dividend is paid on each share of Class B or Class A common stock, as the case may be. Dividends
paid in shares of common stock must be paid, with respect to a particular class of common stock, in shares of that class. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to

become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any class of the Companys capital stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued and paid for, fully paid and
nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
The Companys certificate of
incorporation allows the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock. The Companys board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series and the designations of these series. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Class A common stock. Prior to April 20, 2012, the Company had outstanding 1,972,500
shares of Series A preferred stock which earned dividends at a rate of 8% per annum. The Series A preferred stock was originally convertible into Class A Common Stock at any time, at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis.
However, following the one-for-two reverse stock split, the Series A preferred stock became convertible into one share for every two shares of Series A preferred stock. The Series A preferred stock was required to be converted into Class A
Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as an IPO of the Companys common stock at a price greater than 150% of the original issue price of the Series A preferred stock, as adjusted. The original issue price was $2.00 per
share, and was adjusted to $4.00 per share following the one-for-two reverse split, making the price at which the Series A preferred stock was mandatorily convertible, at $6.00 per common share.
Upon completion of the IPO at $6.10 per share, all of the Series A preferred stock converted into 986,250 shares of Class A common stock. In addition,
the Company issued 66,191 shares of Class A common stock in payment for a portion of the dividends the holders were entitled to, with the remaining dividends paid in cash of $102.
In September 2012, the Company created a new class of preferred stock (the Series B preferred stock) and on September 20, 2012 sold six
shares of Series B preferred stock to two investors for total proceeds of $450, or $75,000 per share. Dividends are payable quarterly in cash at the rate of 4.5% per annum. The Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into the Companys
Class A common stock at the option of the holder at any time after nine months from the date of issue without the payment of additional consideration by dividing the original purchase price per share of Preferred Stock, as adjusted (the
Issue Price), by the conversion price of $7.50 per share, as adjusted. Commencing nine months from the date of issue, the Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible in the event that the daily volume weighted average price of
the Companys Class A Common Stock for a consecutive 30 day trading period is not less than $10.00 per share. The Company has the sole option to redeem the Series B preferred stock any time after one year from the date of issue at a price
equal to 150% of the $75,000 Issue Price ($112,500 per share), subject to adjustments, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.
Dividends
No dividends were declared on the Companys common stock during the year and management does not anticipate doing so. As described above, the
Company paid dividends on the Series A preferred stock prior to its conversion into Class A common stock, and will pay dividends on its Series B preferred stock.

Stock-Based Compensation and Expenses
During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued restricted stock awards totaling 91,700 shares of its Class A common stock to employees and a
non-employee that vest over a period of one to three years on an annual basis.
The total stock-based compensation was $549 and $204 for the years ended
June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
The
following summarizes the activity of the unvested share awards for the year ended June 30, 2013:

The weighted average remaining vesting period as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 is 1.02 and 1.0 years, respectively. As of
June 30, 2013, there was $415 of remaining expense associated with unvested share awards.
In connection with the Companys IPO in April 2012, as part of the underwriters compensation for the IPO, the underwriters
received warrants to purchase a total of 44,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price equal to 110% of the initial public offering price, or $6.71 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning six months after issuance and for five
years thereafter. The warrants carry piggyback registration rights, should the Company register other shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company concluded that the warrants had a value of $83 at issuance based on a black-scholes
calculation and recorded the value as common stock issuance costs and to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012. The following key assumptions were used in determining the value of the warrants:
expected life, 5.0 years; volatility 42%, risk free rate 0.86%. As of June 30, 2013, the warrants have not been exercised.
Start Media
Warrants
On December 10, 2012, Digiplex issued warrants to Start Media, which entitles the holder to purchase up to 500,000 shares of
Digiplexs Class A common stock (the Start Media Warrants). The Start Media Warrants were issued in connection with the creation of JV, are immediately exercisable from the issuance date, at a price of $6.10 per share and have
an exercise period of 5 years. The Start Media Warrants have fixed settlement terms, do not require Digiplex to mandatorily redeem the warrants at any time, and the warrants have no cashless exercise provisions. The fair value of the Start Media
Warrants was determined to be $954 based on a Black-Scholes calculation using the following key assumptions: expected life, 5.0 years, volatility 40.8%, risk free rate 0.78%. The Company recorded this as deferred financing costs and an increase to
additional paid-in-capital for the fair value of $954, to be amortized over the five year life of the warrant. Amortization expense included in interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was $95. Upon any exercise of the Start
Media Warrants, the Company will record the par value of the common stock issued and additional paid in capital. As of June 30, 2013, the warrants have not been exercised.

The total rent expense under operating leases with a landlord that owns the Rialto and Cranford premises and owns shares of the
Companys Class A common stock was $420 and $408 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
|
The Company sponsors an employee benefit plan, the Digiplex 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) under section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the benefit of all full-time employees. The Plan provides that participants may contribute up to 100% of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Plan allows employer
discretionary matching contributions, pursuant to a formula. The Company contributed $25 and $1 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also provides medical and dental benefit plans for its full time corporate
employees with employer and employee cost sharing of premiums.
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the year.
The rights,
including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Companys Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A
common stock at any time, at the option of the holder of the Class B common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per
share of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company:

DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1.
|
THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (Digiplex) was incorporated in Delaware in July 2010 and had its initial public offering in
April 2012. Digiplex and its consolidated subsidiaries and entities (collectively, the Company), currently operate 20 theaters with 192 screens in seven states (the Theaters). The Company intends to acquire
additional businesses operating in the theater exhibition industry sector. Digiplex, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and those of Start Media/Digiplex, LLC (JV), is also referred to herein as the Company.
In September 2012, the Company and Nehst Media Enterprises (Nehst) formed a joint venture called Diginext. Under the joint venture agreement,
Digiplex and Nehst each have a 50% ownership interest. Nehst will supply Diginext with periodic movie content and the Company has the option to display such content at its locations on an exclusive basis, or may choose to allow non-Digiplex venues
to also display the content. The Company pays film rent to Diginext as it would any other movie distributor, and any profits of Diginext, from theatrical revenues as well as net revenues from other ancillary sources will be shared equally by the
owners. The Company and Nehst have each made capital contributions of $50 since inception, and the Company is using the equity method to account for its share of earnings from the joint venture. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014,
Digiplexs share of Diginext net income was $53. The balance of the Companys equity investment at March 31, 2014 is $103 and included in other assets.
On December 10, 2012, Digiplex, together with Start Media, LLC (Start Media), formed JV, a Delaware limited liability company, to acquire,
refit and operate movie theaters. The Company has determined that JV is a variable interest entity (VIE), and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of JVs operations. Therefore, the Company is presenting JVs financial
statements on a consolidated basis with a non-controlling interest.
On July 19, 2013, JV acquired a nine screen movie theater in Torrington, Ct.
(Torrington). Torrington is operated by Digiplex under a management agreement with JV. See Note 3 and Note 4.
On December 19, 2013, the
Company acquired an eight screen movie theater in Mechanicsburg, Pa. (Mechanicsburg). On March 21, 2014, the Company acquired a seven screen theater in Bel Air, Md (Churchville). Together, these two theaters are referred
to as the Flagship theaters. The operating results of the Flagship theaters are included in the Companys consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. See Note 3.
On February 14, 2014, JV sold the seven screen Mission Valley theater in San Diego, Ca. See Note 5.
Although the Company has announced the signing of asset purchase agreements and/or leases for additional locations, all are subject to further diligence,
financing and other closing conditions. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will complete these planned transactions.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) on
September 18, 2013 (the Form 10-K). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending June 30, 2014.
F-32
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company has incurred net losses since inception. The Company also has contractual obligations related to
its debt as of March 31, 2014 and beyond. The Company expects to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. Based on the Companys cash position at March 31, 2014, expected cash flows from operations, and the Companys
October 2013 issuance of Class A common stock for net proceeds of $5,200, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through March 31, 2015. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional
capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Principles of Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Digiplex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the JV, which is a VIE. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include,
but are not limited to, those related to film rent expense settlements, depreciation and amortization, impairments, income taxes and assumptions used in connection with acquisition accounting. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are generated
principally through admissions on feature film displays and concessions sales, with proceeds received in cash or credit card at the Companys point of sale terminals at the Theaters. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Credit card sales
are normally settled in cash within approximately three business days from the point of sale, and any credit card chargebacks have been insignificant. Other revenue consists of theater rentals for parties, camps, civic groups and other activities,
advertising revenue under our advertising contract and our portion of game income, ATM fees and internet ticketing fees. Rental revenue is recognized at the time of the rental. Advertising revenue is recorded based on an expected per-patron amount
and the number of patrons over the contract period as the advertising is being delivered on screen. Other revenue items are recognized as earned in the period. In addition to traditional feature films, the Company also displays concerts, sporting
events, childrens programming and other non-traditional content on its screens (such content referred to herein as alternative content). Revenue from alternative content programming also consists of admissions and concession sales.
The Company also sells theater admissions in advance of the applicable event, and sells gift cards for patrons future use. The Company defers the revenue from such sales until considered redeemed. The Company estimates the gift card breakage
rate based on historical redemption patterns. Unredeemed gift cards are recognized as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical attendance, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and
regulations, in evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity is evaluated.
Rewards Club Program
In August 2013, the Digiplex
Rewards Club was implemented, whereby members earn credits for each dollar spent at one of the Companys theaters and earn concession or ticket awards based on the number of credits
F-33
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
accumulated. Because the Company believes that the value of the awards granted is insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award, the Company records the
estimated cost of providing awards at the time the awards are redeemed. The Companys costs of these awards are not significant for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The awards issued under the Digiplex Rewards Club expire 90 days
after issuance.
Cash Equivalents
The Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company held substantially all of its cash in bank accounts with major
financial institutions, and had cash on hand at the Theaters in the normal course of business.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reports accounts receivable net of any allowance for doubtful
accounts to represent managements estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews collectability of accounts receivable based on the aging of the accounts and historical collection trends. When the Company
ultimately concludes a receivable is uncollectible, the balance is written off. The Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
Inventories
Inventories consist of food and
beverage concession products and related supplies. The Company states inventories on the basis of the first-in, first-out method, stated at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are
stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method, over the following estimated useful lives:
|
|
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5 years
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Lesser of lease term or estimated asset life
|
Building and improvements
|
|
17 years
|
Digital systems and related equipment
|
|
10 years
|
Equipment and computer software
|
|
3 - 5 years
|
Goodwill
The
carrying amount of goodwill at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $4,314 and $3,156, respectively. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Under ASC Subtopic
350-20, IntangiblesGoodwill and Otherthe Company has identified its reporting units to be the regions in which the Company conducts its theater operations.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
The Company determines fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology weighing the income approach
and market approach by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less any net indebtedness, which the Company believes is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to future cash flow
estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates to be used in determining fair value and such management estimates fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that could potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, if held, would be included in accounts receivable. Collateral
is not required on trade accounts receivables. It is anticipated that in the event of default, normal collection procedures would be followed.
Fair
Value of Measurements
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
|
|
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
|
|
|
Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs)
|
|
|
Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the Companys own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis use the market approach, where prices and other relevant information are generated by
market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The following tables summarize the levels of fair value measurements of the
Companys financial liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Earnout from theater acquisitions is a liability to the seller of the Lisbon theater and is based upon
meeting certain financial performance targets. Estimates of the fair values of the earnout was estimated by a forecast of theater level cash flow, as defined by the asset purchase agreement. That measure is based on significant inputs that are not
observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs.
The following summarized changes in the earnout during the nine months ended
March 31, 2014:

Key assumptions underlying the initial Lisbon earnout estimate include a discount rate of 12.5 percent and that Lisbon will
achieve its forecasted financial performance target in the one year earnout period ended September 28, 2013. The Company increased the Lisbon earnout from $296 to $350 based on actual results compared to the threshold in the asset purchase
agreement. A fair value change of $0 and $54 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 was recognized and the $350 was paid to the seller in February 2014.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying
amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and note payable approximate their fair values, due to their short term nature.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company recognizes rent
expense on a straight-line basis, after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent expense for each lease over its term.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs
primarily consist of unamortized debt issuance costs for the note payable, unamortized financing costs related to the formation of JV, and the fair value of warrants issued to Start Media, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
respective terms. The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.
Film Rent Expense
The Company estimates film rent expense and related film rent payable based on managements best estimate of the ultimate settlement of the film costs
with the film distributors. Generally, less than one-quarter of film rent expense is estimated at period-end, with the majority being agreed to under firm terms. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate
duration of the films theatrical run, but is typically settled within one to two months of a particular films opening release. Upon settlement with the film distributors, film rent expense and the related film rent payable is
adjusted to the final film settlement.
The film rent expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three
months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was reduced by virtual print fees (VPFs) of $268 and $259,
F-36
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
respectively, under a master license agreement exhibitor-buyer arrangement with third party vendors. VPFs for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $850 and $763, respectively.
VPFs represent a reduction in film rent paid to film distributors. Pursuant to the master license agreements, the Company will purchase and own digital projection equipment and the third party vendor, through its agreements with film distributors,
will collect and remit VPFs to the Company, net of administrative fees. VPFs are generated based on initial display of titles on the digital projection equipment.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes
stock-based compensation expense to employees based on the fair value of the award at the grant date with expense recognized over the service period, or vesting period, using the straight-line recognition method of awards subject to graded vesting.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is determined
by the stock fair market value on the award date. The Company recognizes an estimate for forfeitures of unvested awards. These estimates are adjusted as actual forfeitures differ from the estimate.
The Company also issues common stock to non-employees in exchange for services. The Company measures and records stock-based compensation at fair value at the
earlier of the date the performance commitment is reached or when the performance is complete. The expense recognized is based on the closing stock price of the Companys stock issued.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have
been made to the fiscal period ended March 31, 2013 financial statements to conform to the current fiscal period ended March 31, 2014 presentation.
Segments
As of March 31, 2014, the Company
managed its business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations. All Company operations are located in the United States.
Recent
Accounting Standard
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08,
Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property,
Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.
The amendments contained in this update change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhances the
reporting requirements for discontinued operations. Under the revised standard, a discontinued operation must represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results: The revised
standard will also allow an entity to have certain continuing cash flows or involvement with the component after the disposal. Additionally, the standard requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial
statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities and expenses of discontinued operations. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted, but only for
disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issue. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2014. See Note 5.

On December 19, 2013 and March 21, 2014, the Company completed the acquisitions of theaters in Mechanicsburg, Pa. and Bel Air, Md
respectively, from Flagship Theaters. The provisional purchase price of the theaters totals $3,860 (assets acquired of $4,459 less assumed capital leases payable of $599), consisting of $1,828 in cash, and 412,330 shares of the Companys
Class A common stock valued at $2,032 in total (based on the trading prices on the closing dates, less a ten percent discount for trading restrictions placed on the stock). The purchase price was provisionally allocated to the identifiable
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The provisional allocation of the purchase price is based on managements judgment after evaluating several factors, using assumptions for
the income and royalty rate approaches and the discounted earnings approach, and projections determined by Company management. The Company is in the process of finalizing the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including
evaluation of the operating lease. The Company incurred approximately $30 in acquisition costs which was expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months
ended March 31, 2014.

On July 19, 2013, JV acquired a nine screen movie theater in Torrington, Connecticut. The purchase price totals $612
(assets acquired of $790, less an assumed promissory note of $178), consisting of $221 in cash, and 73,770 shares of the Companys Class A common stock valued at $391, (based on the trading price of $5.89 on the closing date, less a ten
percent discount for trading restrictions placed on the stock). Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The allocation
of the purchase price is based on managements judgment after evaluating several factors, using assumptions for the income and royalty rate approaches and the discounted earnings approach, and projections determined by Company management.

START MEDIA/ DIGIPLEX JOINT VENTURE
|
As of June 30, 2013, Digiplex contributed 887,623 shares of Class A Common Stock to the JV, and Start Media contributed $10,000 in
cash. In July 2013, Start Media contributed $300 in cash and Digiplex contributed 73,770 shares of the Companys Class A common stock valued at $391, to fund the Torrington acquisition, and both Start Medias and Digiplexs
interest in the JV was adjusted accordingly. In November 2013, Start Media and Digiplex contributed $135 and $100 in cash, respectively. In February 2014, JV sold one theater and received 361,599 shares of Digiplex Class A common stock as
the primary consideration. See Note 5. JV is managed by a four person board of managers, two of whom Digiplex designates and two of whom are designated by Start Media. Majority vote is required for JV actions. At March 31, 2014, Digiplex
and Start Media owned 34% and 66% of the equity of JV, respectively.
JV has a first right of refusal to acquire any theaters which the Company wishes to
acquire, except for any theaters within a ten mile radius of existing Digiplex owned theaters. If JV does not exercise its right of first refusal, the Company has the right to make the acquisition independently. The right of first refusal does not
apply to or restrict the Companys ability to manage theaters owned by unaffiliated third-parties. Digiplex has entered into agreements with JV (the Management Agreements) to manage the theaters it acquires and receives 5% of the
total revenue of the JV theaters operations annually as management fees.
F-39
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Management fees earned by Digiplex for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $245 and
$203, respectively. Management fees earned by Digiplex for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $805 and $255, respectively. JV records these fees as general and administrative expenses, and Digiplex records an offset to general
and administrative expenses. These fees are eliminated in consolidation.
Under the Management Agreements, Digiplex has full day-to-day authority to
operate the theaters owned by JV including: staffing, banking, content selection, vendor selection and all purchasing decisions. Digiplex is required to submit an annual operating budget to JV for each fiscal year ending June 30 for approval by
the JV board of managers. In the event of any disagreements regarding the budget, there are dispute resolution procedures contained in the operating agreement (JV Operating Agreement).
Digiplexs and Start Medias respective percentage ownerships in JV will depend upon their respective aggregate capital contributions, in each case
denominated in units of membership interests. Start Media has committed to contribute up to $20,000 to JV, inclusive of approximately $10,435 of capital contributions previously made, for theater acquisitions and budgeted expenses. Start Media will
receive additional membership units in consideration for capital contributions in excess of its initial contribution as additional capital is required, based on the fair market value of JV determined under a formula set forth in the JV Operating
Agreement (the Formula). Digiplex has a right, but not the obligation, to contribute additional capital to JV, which under certain circumstances may be made by the issuance and delivery of shares of Digiplexs Class A common
stock to sellers of theaters acquired by JV, and thereby acquire additional membership units based on the Formula, provided that our percentage interest does not exceed 50% as the result of our acquisition of additional units. While Start Media
has the right to participate in future theater acquisitions, it is not obligated to do so. Distributions of JV cash flow from operations will be made to the members at such time as determined by the JV board of managers. Start Media is entitled to a
6% preferred return on its capital contributions made to date, after which Digiplex receives a 6% preferred return on its capital contributions. Thereafter, distributions of cash flow from operations will be made pro rata in accordance with the
respective membership units of the members. In the case of liquidating distributions, Start Media will receive a 6% preferred return on and the return of its capital contributions prior to the Companys receipt of a 6% preferred return on and
the return of the Companys capital contributions, with further distributions pro rata to the respective membership units of the members.
Digiplex
and Start Media have agreed not to transfer their membership interests, except for certain permitted transfers for a three-year period and any subsequent transfers of membership interests are subject to the right of JV and the other member to
acquire the interests on such terms as a third party is willing to do so. In the event the Company experiences a change in control, as defined in the JV Operating Agreement, Start Media has a right to require the Company to acquire its membership
interest in JV.
Digiplex is considered the primary beneficiary of the JV because it controls the operation of each JV owned theater on a day to day basis
in all material respects, including: the selection of content, all staffing decisions, all cash management and paying vendors, financial reporting, obtaining all necessary permits, insurances, and to plan and perform capital improvements, to the
extent such expenditures do not exceed certain levels as specified in the Management Agreements. Digiplex is also the guarantor of nine of the ten leases entered into with third party landlords in the JV-owned theaters, and is using its brand name
to promote the theaters. Because JV is a VIE, and Digiplex is deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the operations of JV.
Net loss
attributable to the non-controlling interest on the statement of operations represents the portion of net loss attributable to the economic and legal interest in JV held by Start Media.

JV originally purchased seven theaters from Ultrastar Theaters in December 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $12,822, consisting of
$8,108 in cash and 887,623 shares of Digiplexs Class A common stock with a fair value of $4,714 on the acquisition date. Following discussions with Ultrastar regarding the performance of the Mission Valley theater and the ability of the
landlord to terminate the lease with little notice, JV sold Mission Valley back to Ultrastar Theaters on February 14, 2014 in exchange for 361,599 shares of Digiplex Class A common stock and $38 in cash. The total sale price
amounted to $1,842, resulting in a gain on sale of $950 and treasury stock of $1,804 on the March 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet. The value of the common stock was determined based on its trading value on the closing date, less a ten
percent discount for the lock up period. The Company concluded that the sale of Mission Valley does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Companys operations and therefore has not classified the sale as
discontinued operations. Accordingly, the net assets sold were removed and the gain from the sale is included as part of operating loss in the consolidated statement of operations.

At March 31, 2014, the Company adjusted the provisional fair values of the favorable leasehold interest and covenants not
to compete acquired in the acquisition of the Mechanicsburg theater from Flagship theaters during the measurement period. The fair value of these intangible assets at the acquisition date decreased by $924 which increased goodwill for the same
amount.
The weighted average remaining useful life of the Companys trade names, covenants not to compete, and favorable leasehold interests is 2.82
years, 1.63 years and 12.03 years, respectively, as of March 31, 2014.

Certain of the Companys theater leases require the payment of percentage rent if certain revenue targets are exceeded.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $18 and $16, respectively, of percentage rent expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $63 and $104 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
CAPITAL LEASES
The Company leases certain theater equipment under capital leases that expire through fiscal year 2018, with imputed interest rates of 5.5% to 8.0% per
annum. Repayment of the capital lease obligation is based on a percentage of revenue generated from the usage of the underlying theater equipment. The assets are being amortized over the shorter of their lease terms or their estimated useful lives.
The applicable amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of assets under capital leases during the three months ended March 31,
2014 and 2013 was $38 and $5 respectively. Amortization of assets under capital leases during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $91 and $10 respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|
The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and is not aware of any current, pending
or threatened litigation that could materially impact the Company.
The Company has entered into employment contracts, to which we refer to as the
employment contracts, with four of its current executive officers. Under the employment contracts, each executive officer is entitled to severance payments in connection with the termination of the executive officers employment by
the Company without cause, by the executive officer for good reason, or as a result of a change in control of the Company (as such terms are defined in the employment contracts). Pursuant to the employment
contracts, the maximum amount of payments and benefits in the aggregate, if such executives were terminated (in the event of a change of control) would be approximately $1,212.
A. Dale Mayo, the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is entitled to additional compensation based on the amount of revenues the Company
generates, as specified in his employment contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $70 and $65 of compensation expense under this arrangement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and
2013, the Company recorded $210 and $185 under this arrangement.
All of the Companys operations as of March 31, 2014, are located in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Maryland, Arizona and Ohio, with the customer base being public attendance. The Companys main suppliers are the major movie studios, primarily located in the greater Los Angeles area. Any
events impacting the regions the Company operates in, or impacting the movie studios, who supply movies to the Company, could significantly impact the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
Of the authorized shares of Class A common stock, 7,214,073 shares were issued and outstanding as of
March 31, 2014. Of the authorized shares of Class B common stock, 849,000 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014, all of which are held by the Companys CEO. Of the authorized shares of preferred stock, 6 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014. The material terms and provisions of the Companys capital stock are described below.
Common Stock
The Class A and the Class B
common stock of the Company are identical in all respects, except for voting rights and except that each share of Class B common stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. Each holder of
Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Class A common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Each holder of Class B common stock will be
entitled to ten votes for each outstanding share of Class B common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Except as required by law, the Class A and the Class B common stock will vote
together on all matters. Upon any transfer of Class B common stock by the Companys CEO, such transferred shares will be converted to Class A shares and the converted Class B shares shall be retired and are not available for reissuance.
Subject to the dividend rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose, and, subject to the liquidation
preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all the Companys remaining assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of the Companys
liquidation, dissolution or winding up. No dividend can be declared on the Class A or Class B common stock unless at the same time an equal dividend is paid on each share of Class B or Class A common stock, as the case may be. Dividends
paid in shares of common stock must be paid, with respect to a particular class of common stock, in shares of that class. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any class
of the Companys capital stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued and paid for, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of
the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.
In October 2013, the Company sold
1,141,000 shares of Class A common stock to several investors for $5.00 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $5,200. Such issuance took place pursuant to a May 2013 shelf registration statement the Company had filed with
the SEC.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued 25,000 fully vested shares of Class A common stock to vendors for
services rendered in the ordinary course of business and recognized expense of $144.
As discussed in Note 3, the Company issued a total of 486,100 of
Class A Common Stock as consideration for acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.
As discussed in Note 5, on
February 14, 2014, JV sold one theater and received 361,599 shares of the Companys Class A common stock as the primary consideration which has been recorded as treasury stock.
Preferred Stock
The Companys certificate of
incorporation allows the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock. The Companys board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights,
F-45

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares
constituting any series and the designations of these series. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers,
including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Class A common stock.
Dividends
No dividends were declared on the
Companys common stock during the period and management does not anticipate doing so. The Company pays a quarterly dividend on its Series B preferred stock in an amount equal to 4.5% per annum.
Stock-Based Compensation and Expenses
During the
three months ended March 31, 2014, the Companys 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, (The Plan) was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock that can be issued under the plan, from 400,000 to
550,000.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued restricted stock awards totaling 174,500 shares of its Class A common
stock to employees, which vests over a period of three years. Total stock-based compensation was $132 and $78 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total
stock-based
compensation was $494 and $148 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

On September 28, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Northlight Trust I for $10,000 due September 28, 2017, at an
interest rate equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 10.50% per annum, with a 2.5% floor (the Northlight loan). The Company expects the 2.5% floor to be applicable due to the current LIBOR rates. During the first 18 months from the closing
date, all interest in excess of 10.00% per annum that would otherwise be paid in cash during the 18-month period may, at the Companys option, may be paid in kind (PIK interest), and thereafter all interest due is payable in
cash. PIK interest, if any, will be added to the principal balance of the loan. The Company primarily used the net proceeds from the Northlight loan to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Lisbon, pay to a vendor for digital
systems, pay fees and expenses associated with the Northlight loan and the Lisbon acquisition, and to provide working capital. Interest and principal payments under the terms of the Northlight loan commenced on October 31, 2012. The Northlight
loan is collateralized by,

among other things, the Companys membership interest in each of the Companys operating subsidiaries and all of the operating subsidiaries assets, including the theater leases,
and requires meeting certain financial covenant ratios. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, $13 and $17 of amortization of deferred financing
costs for the Northlight loan were included in interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, $33 and $17 of amortization of deferred
financing costs for the Northlight loan were included in interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations
.

The Northlight loan is mandatorily pre-payable from 25% of the Companys Excess Cash Flow (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, as adjusted, as further defined in the Northlight loan agreement) beginning on September 30, 2013 and annually thereafter. No payment was due with the 2013 calculation.
In connection with the acquisition of Torrington, the Company assumed a promissory note for certain digital projection equipment, with an outstanding balance
as of March 31, 2014 of $147. The note is payable monthly, is due March 2017 and has an interest rate of 7%.
The principal payments due as of
March 31, 2014 over the remainder of the term of the Torrington promissory note are summarized as follows, in fiscal years:
The Company recorded income tax expense/(benefit) of $22 and $(22) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and
$40 and $42 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Companys tax provision for all periods had an unusual relationship to pretax loss mainly because of the existence of a full deferred tax asset valuation
allowance at the beginning of each period. This circumstance generally results in a zero net tax provision since the income tax expense or benefit that would otherwise be
F-47
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
recognized is offset by the change to the valuation allowance. However, tax expense recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included the accrual of non-cash tax expense of
approximately $31 and $36, respectively of additional valuation allowance in connection with the tax amortization of our indefinite-lived intangible assets that was not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed a naked
credit). The Company expects the naked credit to result in approximately $20 of additional non-cash income tax expense over the remainder of the year ending June 30, 2014.
The Company calculates income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the
year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the differences between the effective tax rate of (1.4)% and (1.2)%, respectively, and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally resulted from state and local taxes, graduated
federal tax rate reductions, non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance.
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
The
rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Companys Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of
Class A common stock at any time, at the option of the holder of the Class B common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic
net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company (in millions, except share and per share data):

Rate. Prior to the Merger completion, the holders of Series B preferred stock will receive a total of $675 in cash from Digiplex, representing 150% of the initial investment, plus accrued dividends, pursuant to the Series B preferred stock
certificate of designations. In addition, Digiplex has entered into agreements or a term sheet to acquire certain theaters. In the event a proposed acquisition is terminated, a downward adjustment would occur to the Exchange Rate (not to
exceed 0.014x in the aggregate) unless the terminated transaction were replaced with another transaction acceptable to Carmike. The closing of the Merger is subject to stockholder approval and other conditions and is expected to be completed in
the third calendar quarter of 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders of Ultrastar Cinema
We have audited the
accompanying combined balance sheets of the Theaters of Ultrastar Cinemas (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related combined statements of operations, combined deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 2011. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 combined financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
These accompanying combined financial statements include the operations of six theaters as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010
and seven theaters as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 for Ultrastar Cinemas (Ultrastar). The combined financials as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 include the operations of Surprise Pointe 14 theater
(located in Surprise, Arizona), Apply Valley theater, Mission Marketplace theater, Temecula Tower Cinemas, Poway theater, Mission Valley theater and River Village theater (collectively the Theaters or the Company). The
last six theaters listed are located in California. The combined financials as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes the operations of Surprise Pointe 14 theater, Apply Valley theater, Mission Marketplace theater, Poway theater,
Mission Valley theater and River Village theater. The Temecula Tower Cinemas was incorporated on December 31, 2010 and operations commenced January 1, 2011. The Theaters are in the movie exhibition business. Ultrastar
is a group of related entities under common ownership that own and operate a group of movie theaters. These combined financial statements reflect the operations of the specific entities where StartMedia/Digiplex, LLC (Digiplex)
acquired certain assets, assumed certain liabilities and assumed operating leases and does not reflect the other entities under common ownership of Ultrastar. In December 2012, Digiplex purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
of the Theaters. See Note 13.
The accompanying combined financial statements reflect various direct and indirect expense allocations from Ultrastar
recorded in the financial statements of the Theaters to reflect the financial results of the Theaters business for the years presented. Ultrastar charged a management fee of $1,539 and $1,324 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, under management agreements with the Theaters for management of the theater business. The management fee represents the costs of executive management, accounting, human resources, information technology and other general and
administrative expenses. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses on the combined statement of operations. Other indirect costs incurred on Ultrastar have been reflected but are not material.
The theaters have cash advances to and from other theaters under common ownership but not included in these combined financial statements. The resulting
due from affiliates are classified as part of the combined deficit as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. See note 9.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to film
rent expense settlements, depreciation and amortization, impairments and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles
of Combination
The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Theaters. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
combination.
F-55
THEATERS OF ULTRASTAR CINEMAS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(in thousands)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are generated principally through admissions and concessions sales for feature films with proceeds received in cash or credit card at the
Companys point of sale terminals at the Theaters. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Credit card sales are normally settled in cash within approximately three business days from the point of sale, and any credit card chargebacks have
been insignificant. Other operating revenues consist of amounts earned from advertising, vending commissions, game revenue, and theater rentals for parties and film festivals, which are recognized as services are performed or earned under
contractual terms. The Company also sells theater admissions in advance of the applicable event, and sells gift cards for patrons future use. The Company defers the revenue from gift cards until considered redeemed.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held substantially all of its cash at the theaters in the normal course of business.
Inventory
Inventory consisted of concession
products and related supplies. The Company states inventory on the basis of first-in, first-out method, stated at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
The Company states
property and equipment at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. The Company records depreciation and
amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives:
|
|
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset
|
Machinery and equipment
|
|
310 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
310 years
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be
fully recoverable. The Company generally evaluates assets for impairment on an individual theater basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows,
undiscounted and without interest charges is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value.
The Company considers actual theater level cash flows, future years budgeted theater level cash flows, theater property and equipment carrying values, the age
of a recently built theater, competitive theaters in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theater assets. The
fair value of assets is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows or the expected selling price less selling costs for assets of which the Company expects to dispose. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash
flows and fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Leases
All of the Companys theater operations are conducted in premises occupied under non-cancelable lease agreements. The Company, at its option, can renew
the leases at defined rates for various periods. Certain leases for Company theaters provide for contingent rentals based on the revenue results of the underlying theater and require the payment of taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the
property. Also, certain leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions. There are no conditions imposed upon the Company by its lease agreements or by parties other than the lessor that legally obligate the Company to incur costs to retire
assets as a result of a decision to vacate its leased properties. None of the leases require the Company to return the leased property to the lessor in its original condition (allowing for normal wear and tear) or to remove leasehold improvements.
The Company accounts for all of its facility leases as operating leases. The Company accounts for its leases under the provisions of ASC Topic 840, Leases and other authoritative accounting literature. The Company does not believe that exercise of
the renewal options in its leases are reasonably assured at the inception date of the lease agreements because the leases: (i) provide for either (a) renewal rents based on market rates or (b) renewal rents that equal or exceed the
initial rents, and (ii) do not impose economic penalties upon our determination whether or not to exercise the renewal option. As a result, there are not sufficient economic incentives at the inception of the leases, to consider that lease
renewal options are reasonably assured of being exercised and therefore, the Company generally consider the initial base lease term under ASC Subtopic 840-10.
The Company leases certain equipment for use in its theaters, under agreements that expire through 2017. The Company accounts for these leases as capital
leases.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values, due to their short term nature.
Income Taxes
No provision has been made in
the financial statements for income taxes because the Company reports its income and expenses as a Subchapter S Corporation whereby all income and losses are taxed at the shareholder level. Income tax rules and regulations are subject to
interpretation, require judgment by the Company and may be challenged by the taxation authorities. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, the Company recognizes a tax benefit only for tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not
sustainable based on the technical merits of the tax position. With respect to such tax positions for which recognition of a benefit is appropriate, the benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of the Companys process for determining the provision for income taxes. Any interest and penalties determined to result from uncertain tax
position will be classified as interest expense and other expense.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent
expense for each lease over its term.
Film Rent Expense
The Company estimates film rent expense settlements and related film rent payable based on managements best estimate of the ultimate settlement of the
film costs with the film distributors. Generally, less than one-quarter of
F-57
THEATERS OF ULTRASTAR CINEMAS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(in thousands)
film rent expense is estimated at period-end, with the majority being agreed to under firm terms. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate duration of
the films theatrical run, but is typically settled within one to two months of a particular films opening release. Upon settlement with the film distributors, film rent expense and the related film rent payable are adjusted
to the final film settlement.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs incurred for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $209 and $181,
respectively.
Segments
As of
December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations. All of the Companys operations are located in the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the
FASB issued ASU 2011-4, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS, to substantially converge the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance in US GAAP and IFRS. The
most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt this
standard January 1, 2012 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
In
June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders equity. Instead, an entity
will be required to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The
Company will adopt this standard as of January 1, 2012 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update
requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income or loss of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles to be reclassified in its entirety to net income or loss in the same reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No provision has been made in the financial statements for income taxes because the Company reports its income and expenses as a Subchapter
S Corporation whereby all income and losses are taxed at the shareholder level. Income tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation, require judgment by the Company and may be challenged by the taxation authorities. In July
2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740-10 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax
positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740-10 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and had no impact on

(in thousands)
the Companys financial statements. The Company has filed income tax returns in the United States, California and Arizona. All tax years prior to 2009 are closed by expiration of the statute
of limitations. The years ended December 31, 2009 through and including 2011, are open for examination. If the Company did incur any uncertain tax positions for the years the Company was a Subchapter S Corporation, the liability would be the
responsibility of the shareholders of the Company.

On December 21, 2012, Digiplex completed the acquisitions of the Theaters of Ultrastar Cinemas for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $12.8 million (subject to post-closing adjustments), consisting of $8.1 million in cash plus 887,622 shares of Digiplexs Class A common stock. The stock issued is the subject of a six month lock-up
agreement, with further restrictions beyond that point. Digiplex assumed the operating leases for the theater premises, subject to certain amendments of the leases and, in one case, executed a new lease with the landlord. Digiplex assumed certain
capital leases related to theater equipment. All other liabilities are being retained by the sellers. The funds from the sale were put in escrow, where the escrow agent used it to pay down the sellers bank debt and other obligations.
On September 24, 2012, the landlord settled and relieved the Company for the $2,796 promissory note and $100 of common area payables through the
Companys payment of a $300 settlement fee, under an amendment to the lease agreement. The amendment does not impact future rent payments. The Company paid this amount by August 2012 and the landlord released the Companys
obligation as of September 24, 2012.

THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
These accompanying combined financial statements include the operations of seven theaters as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011 for Ultrastar Cinemas (Ultrastar). The combined financials include the operations of Surprise Pointe 14 theater (located in Surprise, Arizona), Apply Valley theater, Mission Marketplace theater, Temecula
Tower Cinemas, Poway theater, Mission Valley theater and River Village theater (collectively the Theaters or the Company). The last six theaters listed are located in California. The Theaters are in the movie
exhibition business. Ultrastar is a group of related entities under common ownership that own and operate group of movie theaters. These combined financial statements reflect the operations of the specific entities where
StartMedia/Digiplex, LLC (Digiplex) acquired certain assets, assumed certain liabilities and assumed operating leases and does not reflect the other entities under common ownership of Ultrastar. In December 2012, Digiplex purchased
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Theaters. See Note 12.
The financial statements reflect various direct and indirect expense
allocations from Ultrastar recorded in the financial statements of the Theaters to reflect the financial results of the Theaters business for the years presented. Ultrastar charged a management fee of $987 and $1,259 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, under management agreements with the Theaters for management of the theater business. The management fee represents the costs of executive management, accounting, human resources, information
technology and other general and administrative expenses. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses on the combined statement of operations. Other indirect costs incurred on Ultrastar have been reflected but are not material.
The Theaters have cash advances to and from other theaters under common ownership but not included in these combined financial statements. The resulting
due from affiliates of $5,988 and $6,237 are classified as part of the combined deficit as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the full year ending December 31, 2012.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to film
rent expense settlements, depreciation and amortization, impairments and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles
of Combination
The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Theaters. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
combination.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues
are generated principally through admissions and concessions sales for feature films with proceeds received in cash or credit card at the Companys point of sale terminals at the Theaters. Revenue is recognized at
F-67
THEATERS OF ULTRASTAR CINEMAS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
(in thousands)
the point of sale. Credit card sales are normally settled in cash within approximately three business days from the point of sale, and any credit card chargebacks have been insignificant. Other
operating revenues consist of amounts earned from advertising, vending commissions, game revenue, and theater rentals for parties and film festivals, which are recognized as services are performed or earned under contractual terms. The Company also
sells theater admissions in advance of the applicable event, and sells gift cards for patrons future use. The Company defers the revenue from gift cards until considered redeemed.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held substantially all of its cash at the theaters in the normal course of business.
Inventory
Inventory consisted of concession
products and related supplies. The Company states inventory on the basis of first-in, first-out method, stated at the lower of cost or market.
Property and Equipment
The Company states
property and equipment at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives:
|
|
|
Leasehold improvements
|
|
lesser of lease term or estimated useful life of asset
|
Machinery and equipment
|
|
310 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
310 years
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be
fully recoverable. The Company generally evaluates assets for impairment on an individual theater basis, which management believes is the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows,
undiscounted and without interest charges is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment charge in the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair market value.
The Company considers actual theater level cash flows, future years budgeted theater level cash flows, theater property and equipment carrying values, the age
of a recently built theater, competitive theaters in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theater assets. The
fair value of assets is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows or the expected selling price less selling costs for assets of which the Company expects to dispose. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash
flows and fair value. There were no impairment charges recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Leases
All of the Companys theater operations are conducted in premises occupied under non-cancelable lease agreements. The Company, at its option, can renew
the leases at defined rates for various periods. Certain leases for Company theaters provide for contingent rentals based on the revenue results of the underlying theater and require the payment of taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the
property. Also, certain leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions. There are no conditions imposed upon the Company by its lease agreements or by parties other than the lessor that legally obligate the Company to incur costs to retire
assets as a result of a decision to vacate its leased properties. None of the leases require the Company to return the leased property to the lessor in its original condition (allowing for normal wear and tear) or to remove leasehold improvements.
The Company accounts for all of its facility leases as operating leases. The Company accounts for its leases under the provisions of ASC Topic 840, Leases and other authoritative accounting literature. The Company does not believe that exercise of
the renewal options in its leases are reasonably assured at the inception date of the lease agreements because the leases: (i) provide for either (a) renewal rents based on market rates or (b) renewal rents that equal or exceed the
initial rents, and (ii) do not impose economic penalties upon our determination whether or not to exercise the renewal option. As a result, there are not sufficient economic incentives at the inception of the leases, to consider that lease
renewal options are reasonably assured of being exercised and therefore, the Company generally consider the initial base lease term under ASC Subtopic 840-10.
The Company leases certain equipment for use in its theaters, under agreements that expire through 2017. The Company accounts for these leases as capital
leases.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values, due to their short term nature.
Income Taxes
No provision has been made in the
financial statements for income taxes because the Company reports its income and expenses as a Subchapter S Corporation whereby all income and losses are taxed at the shareholder level. Income tax rules and regulations are subject to interpretation,
require judgment by the Company and may be challenged by the taxation authorities. In accordance with ASC Subtopic 740-10, the Company recognizes a tax benefit only for tax positions that are determined to be more likely than not sustainable based
on the technical merits of the tax position. With respect to such tax positions for which recognition of a benefit is appropriate, the benefit is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. Tax positions are evaluated on an ongoing basis as part of the Companys process for determining the provision for income taxes. Any interest and penalties determined to result from uncertain tax position will be classified
as interest expense and other expense.
Deferred Rent Expense
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent
expense for each lease over its term.
Film Rent Expense
The Company estimates film rent expense settlements and related film rent payable based on managements best estimate of the ultimate settlement of the
film costs with the film distributors. Generally, less than one-quarter of
F-69
THEATERS OF ULTRASTAR CINEMAS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
(in thousands)
film rent expense is estimated at period-end, with the majority being agreed to under firm terms. The length of time until these costs are known with certainty depends on the ultimate duration of
the films theatrical run, but is typically settled within one to two months of a particular films opening release. Upon settlement with the film distributors, film rent expense and the related film rent payable are adjusted
to the final film settlement.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $103 and $168,
respectively.
Segments
As of
September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations. All of the Companys operations are located in the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the
FASB issued ASU 2011-4, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS, to substantially converge the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance in US GAAP and IFRS. The
most significant change in disclosures is an expansion of the information required for Level 3 measurements based on unobservable inputs. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has adopted
this standard on January 1, 2012, and it did not have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2011, the
FASB issued ASU 2011-5, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders equity. Instead, an entity will be required
to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has
adopted this standard as of January 1, 2012, and it did not have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
In
February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income or loss of
significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be reclassified in its entirety to net income or loss in the same
reporting period. ASU 2013-02 is effective prospectively for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amended guidance to have
a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases
seven theater facilities under operating leases for initial terms of 10-20 years until 2028. Each lease provides for monthly payments subject to rent escalations at each renewal date. Each lease offers options to renew for periods up to 5 years. The
Company is also required to pay real property taxes and common maintenance expenses. In addition, rent includes an amount equal to a percentage of revenue generated in excess of a base amount of total sales. Lease rent expense amounted to
$2,590 and $2,512 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was no percentage rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

CAPITAL LEASES
The Company leases certain equipment under capital leases that expire through 2017 with an imputed interest rate of 8% per annum. The assets are being
amortized over the shorter of their lease terms or their estimated useful lives. The applicable amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying combined financial statements. Amortization of assets under capital
leases charged to expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $38 for each period.

The equipment financing is for various equipment items. The notes have interest rates ranging from 10 to
12% and are due by 2013.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had a promissory note with the landlord of Surprise Point 14 Theater for past due rent
and payables for common area expenses. The note was due in 2015 and had an interest rate of 12%. On September 24, 2012, the landlord settled and relieved the Company for the $2,796 promissory note and payables of
$100 through the Companys payment of a $300 settlement fee, under an amendment to the lease agreement. The amendment does not impact future rent payments. The Company paid this amount by August 2012 and the landlord released the
Companys obligation as of September 24, 2012. A net gain of $2,596 for extinguishment of debt was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The bank debt represents debt from various lending institutions. The interest rates on this debt range from 9% to 17%. This debt has been classified
as current.

No provision has been made in the financial statements for income taxes because the Company reports its income and expenses as a Subchapter
S Corporation whereby all income and losses are taxed at the shareholder level. In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740-10 provides
guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740-10 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and had no impact on the Companys
financial statements. The Company has filed income tax returns in the United States, California and Arizona. All tax years prior to 2009 are closed by expiration of the statute of limitations. The years ended December 31, 2009 through and
including 2011, are open for examination. If the Company did incur any uncertain tax positions for the years the Company was a Subchapter S Corporation, the liability would be the responsibility of the shareholders of the Company.

On December 21, 2012, Digiplex completed the acquisitions of the Theaters of Ultrastar Cinemas for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $12.8 million (subject to post-closing adjustments), consisting of $8.1 million in cash plus 887,622 shares of Digiplexs Class A common stock issued. The stock issued is the subject of a six month lock-up
agreement, with further restrictions beyond that point. Digiplex assumed the operating leases for the theater premises, subject to certain amendments of the leases and, in one case, executed a new lease with the landlord. Digiplex assumed certain
capital leases related to theater equipment. All other liabilities are being retained by the sellers. The funds from the sale were put in escrow, where the escrow agent used it to pay down the sellers bank debt and other obligations.

INDEX TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
F-75
DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On December 10, 2012, Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (Digiplex), together with Start Media, LLC (Start Media), entered into a
joint venture, Start Media/Digiplex, LLC (JV), to acquire, refit and operate movie theaters. On December 11, 2012, wholly owned subsidiaries of JV executed agreements, to acquire seven movie theaters from Ultrastar Theaters
(Ultrastar). The Ultrastar acquisition was completed on four separate dates in mid-December 2012.
The following unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations include the results of operations of Digiplex for the year ended June 30, 2013 (including those of the acquired Ultrastar theaters since the closing dates in December, 2012) and the results of operations of the acquired
Ultrastar theaters from July 1, 2012 through the closing dates in December 2012, as if the acquisition had been consummated on July 1, 2012.
The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information shows the impact on the combined statements of operations under acquisition accounting with Digiplex treated as the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed of the acquired Ultrastar theaters are recorded by Digiplex, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not include the realization of any cost savings
from anticipated operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities which might result from the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes of Digiplex and of the acquired Ultrastar theaters that are included herein. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results
of operations or financial condition of the combined company that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and further should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of
operations or financial condition of Digiplex.

DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Ultrastar results of operations for the period from July 1, 2012 through the closing dates in December 2012 contain estimates, based
on unaudited interim results of operations. Digiplex management believes that the estimates used approximate the actual results that the Ultrastar theaters experienced during the time period presented.
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are as follows:
|
(a)
|
To remove the components of Ultrastar not acquired by Digiplex.
|
|
(b)
|
To remove historical depreciation of $512 and record estimated depreciation and amortization of $800 for the period from July 1, 2012 to the closing dates in December 2012.
|
|
(c)
|
To adjust income tax expense for the impact of the pro forma adjustments recorded.
|
|
(d)
|
To record the non-controlling interest that Start Media holds in the JV for the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. Start Media holds a 67% interest in the JV, and accordingly
the non-controlling interest is calculated using this percentage.
|
|
(e)
|
To adjust the weighted average shares outstanding to reflect the shares issued in connection with the acquisition of the Ultrastar theaters as of July 1, 2012.

iii
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER,
dated as of May 15, 2014 (the
Agreement
), by and among CARMIKE CINEMAS, INC., a
Delaware corporation (
Parent
). BADLANDS ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (
Merger Sub
), and DIGITAL CINEMA DESTINATIONS CORP., a Delaware corporation
(the
Company
). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in
Section 9.11.
WHEREAS
, the Company Board has declared that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to
consummate, and has approved, this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the
Merger
);
WHEREAS
, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the stockholder party named therein (the
Stockholder Party
) have entered into the agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A
(the
Voting Agreement
) pursuant to which, and subject to the terms thereof, the Stockholder Party has agreed, among other
things, to vote certain of his shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and to prescribe
certain conditions to the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations,
warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1
The
Merger
.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company. The Company shall continue as the surviving entity (the
Surviving Entity
), and the separate corporate existence
of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.
(b) Parent and Merger Sub may at any time change the method of effecting the combination, and the Company shall
cooperate in such efforts, including by entering into an appropriate amendment to this Agreement (to the extent such amendment only changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not substantively affect this Agreement or the
rights and obligations of the parties or their respective stockholders); provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 1.6(a)) provided for in this Agreement,
(ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Company Stockholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or the Tax treatment of any party pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
1.2
Closing; Effective Time
.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
closing of the Merger (the
Closing
) will take place at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, 1180 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, at 10:00
a.m., local time, on a date (the
Closing Date
) specified by the parties, which shall be no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law) of the latest to occur of the
conditions set forth in
Article VII
(other than those conditions that relate to action to be taken at the Closing, subject to the satisfaction of such
conditions (or, to the extent legally permitted, waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions) at the Closing), unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated
pursuant to its terms or unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties. As soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in
Article VII
, the Merger shall become effective upon the filing, or such later
time as specified therein, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of a certificate of merger or other appropriate document (the
Certificate of Merger
), and the parties shall make all other filings or recordings
required by the DGCL. The term
Effective Time
shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Certificate of Merger. The
Effective Date
shall mean the date on which the Effective
Time occurs.
1.3
Effects of the Merger
.
At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in
this Agreement and in the appropriate provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall possess all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises, and be subject to all of the restrictions, disabilities and duties, of the Company and Merger Sub, as provided under the DGCL.
1.4
Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Officers of the Surviving Entity
.
(a) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended to be
identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the
Surviving Entity Certificate
). The bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect at the Effective Time shall be the bylaws
of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law (the
Surviving Entity Bylaws
).
(b) From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers
of the Surviving Entity, until their successors shall have been duly elected, appointed or qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Entity Certificate and the Surviving Entity Bylaws.
1.5
Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock
.
The Company shall take all necessary action to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock
in accordance with Section 7(g) of the Series B Certificate. Without limiting the foregoing, promptly following the date hereof and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall provide a notice of
redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 7(g) of the Series B Certificate, which notice shall state that all issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of
Section 7(g) of the Series B Certificate on the date (the
Redemption Date
) specified in such notice (which shall be thirty (30) days following the delivery of such redemption notice), and thereafter, on the Redemption
Date, the Company shall redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the redemption notice and the Series B Certificate.
1.6
Conversion of Company Capital Stock
.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of
Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any of the following securities:
(a) Subject to
Section 2.2(e)
, each share of Company Common Stock, except for shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall be converted into the right to receive, without
interest, that fraction of a fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Common Stock (the
Merger Consideration
) equal to 0.1775 (the
Exchange Ratio
). Except for shares of Company Common Stock held by the
Start Media Joint Venture (which shall survive the Merger and shall not be exchanged for shares of Parent Common Stock), all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(b) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this
Article I
shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled
2
and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time and each certificate previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (each a
Certificate
) shall thereafter
represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this
Section 1.6
and
Section 2.2(e)
, and (iii) any dividends or distributions to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled in accordance with
Section 2.2(b)
. If, prior to the Effective Time, the
outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio.
1.7
Parent Common Stock
.
At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent capital stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.
1.8
Company Equity and
Equity-Based Awards
.
At the Effective Time, each award (each, a
Company Restricted Stock Unit Award
) of restricted stock units (
Company Restricted Stock Units
) that is then outstanding under the
Companys 2012 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
Company Stock Plan
), whether or not vested, shall be canceled, automatically and without any action on behalf of the holder or beneficiaries thereof, and each holder of any
such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award shall receive the Merger Consideration equal to the product of the Exchange Ratio and the number of Company Restricted Stock Units awarded under such Company Restricted Stock Unit Award. Prior to the
Effective Time, the Company shall obtain any consents and make any amendments to the Company Stock Plan and the terms of any outstanding awards under the Company Stock Plan as may be necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this
Section 1.8
.
1.9
Intended Tax Treatment
.
It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
1.10
Pipeline Transactions
.
Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has entered into an
agreement or term sheet (a
Pipeline Transaction Purchase Agreement
) to acquire each of the theaters set forth on
Schedule 1.10
(each, a
Pipeline Transaction
and collectively the
Pipeline
Transactions
). If a Pipeline Transaction Purchase Agreement (a) is terminated prior to the Effective Time or (b) does not expressly provide pursuant to its terms that the Company or its Subsidiary have at least forty-five
(45) days following the Closing Date to consummate the Pipeline Transaction (each of (a) and (b), a
Terminated Pipeline Transaction
), then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted downward by the amount that corresponds to
such Terminated Pipeline Transaction as set forth on
Schedule 1.10
, and such adjusted Exchange Ratio shall be deemed the Exchange Ratio for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company shall have the opportunity to present to
Parent a new pipeline transaction (a
New Pipeline Transaction
) to replace any Terminated Pipeline Transaction on
Schedule 1.10
; provided that (i) such New Pipeline Transaction must be of equal or greater value than
such Terminated Pipeline Transaction and (ii) the final determination of whether to accept such New Pipeline Transaction shall be made by Parent in its sole discretion.
ARTICLE II
EXCHANGE OF
SHARES
2.1
Parent to Make Merger Consideration Available
.
As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time,
Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to each of the Company and Parent (the
Exchange Agent
), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in
accordance with this
Article II
, (a) certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration, (b) immediately available funds equal to any dividends
3
or distributions payable in accordance with
Section 2.2(b)
, and (c) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and certificates for shares of Parent Common Stock,
collectively being referred to as the
Exchange Fund
), to be issued pursuant to
Section 1.6
and paid pursuant to
Section 2.2(e)
in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.
2.2
Exchange of Shares.
(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more
Certificates a letter of transmittal in customary form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall
pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of
Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 2.2(b)
. Upon proper
surrender of a Certificate or Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive
in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of
Article I
,
(ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this
Article II
, and
(iii) a check representing the amount of any dividends or distributions then payable pursuant to
Section 2.2(b)(i)
, and the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued
on any cash in lieu of fractional shares or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the
Merger Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or distributions as contemplated by
Section 2.2(b)
.
(b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any
unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this
Article II.
After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this
Article II
, the record holder thereof shall be
entitled to receive (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid, without any interest thereon, with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such
Certificate, and (ii), at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender, with respect to shares of Parent
Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(c) If any certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be
issued in, or any cash is paid to, a name other than that in which the Certificate or Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance or payment thereof that the Certificate or Certificates
so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or
other Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange
Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

Certificate the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing or the other transactions contemplated herein or avoid the commencement of any Action to prohibit the Merger or any other
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or if already commenced, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Action so as to enable the Closing to occur.
(e) If Parent elects to propose, negotiate, or offer to commit to and effect by consent decree, hold separate order, or
otherwise, any sale, divestiture, license, disposition, prohibition or limitation or other action of a type described in

(vi) take any action to make the provisions of any fair price, moratorium, control share acquisition, business combination or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation (including any

(c) Notwithstanding
Section 6.4(b)
, from the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholders
Approval, if (i) the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes, or is
reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Company Board concludes in good faith, after receiving advice from its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to take such action with respect to such
Acquisition Proposal would reasonably be likely to result in a breach of the Company Boards fiduciary obligations to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law, (iii) such Acquisition Proposal was not solicited in violation of this
Section 6.4
and (iv) the Company timely provides to Parent in accordance with
Section 6.4(f)
the information required under
Section 6.4(f)
to be delivered by the Company to Parent, then the Company may take
the following actions (and only the following actions): (x) furnish information to the third party making such Acquisition Proposal (a
Qualified Bidder
),
provided that
(A) the Company receives from the Qualified
Bidder an executed confidentiality agreement (the terms of which are no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement), (B) such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an
exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and may not restrict the Company in any way from complying with this Agreement, including prohibiting the Company from providing information or written materials to Parent and (C) all such
information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person; and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with the Qualified Bidder and its Representatives with respect
to such Acquisition Proposal.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.4(e)
, neither the Company Board
nor any committee of the Company Board may (i) withdraw or withhold, amend, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, withhold, amend, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation
(it being understood that, subject to and without limitation of
Section 6.4(g)
, taking a neutral position or no position with respect to any Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an amendment or modification), (ii) approve,
adopt, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in
clause (i)
,
(ii)
or
(iii)
, whether taken by the Company
Board or any committee thereof, being referred to as an
Adverse Recommendation Change
).
33
(e) Notwithstanding
Section 6.4(d)
, at any time prior to the receipt
of the Company Stockholders Approval, the Company Board may in response to a Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach by Company of this
Section 6.4
, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board
determines in good faith, after receiving advice from the Companys outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to do so would reasonably be likely to result in a breach of the Company Boards fiduciary obligations to the
Company Stockholders under applicable Law;
provided
,
however
, that such action may only be taken (i) at a time that is after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Parents receipt of written notice from the Company that
the Company Board is prepared to take such action (the
Subsequent Determination Notice
), which notice will specify the terms of the applicable Acquisition Proposal, identify the Person making such Superior Proposal and set forth
the Companys reason for delivery of the Subsequent Determination Notice and (ii) if, at the end of such period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after taking into account all amendments or revisions committed to by Parent and
after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal. During any such five (5) Business Day period, Parent shall be entitled to deliver to the Company one or more
counterproposals to such Acquisition Proposal, and the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to meet and negotiate with the Company and its Representatives, who shall negotiate in good faith with Parent regarding any revisions to the terms of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal. If a Superior Proposal is revised, including any revision to price, then the Company shall deliver to Parent a new Subsequent Determination
Notice and again comply with the requirements of this
Section 6.4(e)
with respect to such revised Superior Proposal, on each occasion on which a revised Superior Proposal is submitted.
(f) From and after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in any event within
twenty-four (24) hours) orally and in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, discussions, negotiations, proposals or expressions of interest with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, including providing the identity of the third party making,
submitting, inquiring about or expressing interest with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, and (i) if it is in writing, a copy of such Acquisition Proposal and any related draft agreements and other written material setting forth the terms
and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and (ii) if oral, a detailed summary thereof that is made or submitted by any third party during the period between the date hereof and the Closing. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed on a
prompt and timely basis of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal and with respect to any change to the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal within twenty-four (24) hours of any such change. The Company shall not,
and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is or shall become party to any agreement, in each case, that prohibits
the Company from providing such information to Parent.
(g) Nothing in this
Section 6.4
shall be deemed to
prohibit the Company from complying with Rule 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after receiving advice from its
outside legal counsel, failing to take such action would be inconsistent with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, any stop, look and listen
communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders, shall not in and of itself constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change;
provided
,
however
, that
any disclosure of a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act other than (i) a stop, look and listen communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f)
under the Exchange Act, (ii) any express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any express reaffirmation of its recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the Merger shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation
Change.
(h) For purposes of this Agreement,
Superior Proposal
shall mean any bona fide written
Acquisition Proposal (with all references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) made by a third party that the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its
outside legal counsel and financial advisors, would be more favorable to the
34
Company Stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger, taking into account (i) any proposal by Parent to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the identity of
the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and (iii) the terms, conditions, timing, likelihood of consummation and legal, financial, and regulatory aspects of such Acquisition Proposal.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement,
Acquisition Proposal
means any inquiry, proposal, offer, plan,
arrangement or other expression or indication of interest for any transaction or series of related transactions involving (i) a merger, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution,
business combination or consolidation, or any similar transaction, involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) a sale, lease, license, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other acquisition or disposition of assets that constitute
or account for at least 15% of the consolidated net revenues, net income or assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a purchase, tender offer or other acquisition (including
by way of merger, consolidation, stock exchange or otherwise) of beneficial ownership (the term beneficial ownership for purposes of this Agreement having the meaning assigned thereto in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder) of securities representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided
,
however
, that the term Acquisition Proposal shall not include the Merger or
the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.5
Access to Information.
(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the date on which this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 8.1
, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other Representatives, reasonable access during
normal business hours to all of its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records upon reasonable prior notice. The Company shall also provide Parent with such access to the appropriate individuals (including management personnel, attorneys,
accountants and other professionals) for discussion of the Companys business, properties, prospects and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. No investigation pursuant to this
Section 6.5
shall affect any representation or
warranty in this Agreement of the Company or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto. The Company shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would contravene any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, decree, or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to violate or result in a loss or impairment of any attorney-client or work product privilege. The Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
(b) With respect to all information furnished by one party to the other party or its Representatives under this Agreement, the
parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.
6.6
Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that any rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of, and all limitations
on the personal liability of each present and former director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company and its Subsidiaries provided for in the respective organizational documents, in effect as of the date hereof shall continue in full
force and effect (and with respect to the Surviving Entity, shall be reflected in the applicable organizational documents of such entity), for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time. During such period, Parent shall not, nor shall
it permit the Surviving Entity to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions for indemnification in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individual who at any time on or prior to the Effective
Time was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including,
35
without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless such modification is required by Law;
provided
,
however
, that in the event any claim or claims are
asserted or made either prior to the Effective Time or within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims.
(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to either (i) cause to be obtained a tail insurance policy with
respect to Companys and its Subsidiaries directors and officers liability insurance as in effect as of the Effective Time (a
D&O Tail Policy
), which D&O Tail Policy (A) shall have a claims
period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to the Indemnified Parties covered by the Companys and its
Subsidiaries directors and officers liability insurance as of the Effective Time and (B) shall contain terms with respect to scope of coverage and amount generally no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those in the
Companys and its Subsidiaries existing directors and officers liability insurance policies as of the Effective Time, or (ii) maintain the existing officers and directors liability insurance policies
maintained by the Company (provided that Parent may cause the Surviving Entity to substitute therefor policies of at least the same scope of coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are generally not less favorable, in the
aggregate, to the Indemnified Parties) for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time;
provided
,
however
, that in no event shall the Parent or the Surviving Entity be required to expend in the aggregate in excess of 200%
of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage, and if such premium would at any time exceed 200% of such amount, then the Parent or the Surviving Entity shall maintain insurance policies which provide the maximum and best
coverage available at an annual premium equal to 200% of such amount
Section 6.6(b)
of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the current premium paid by the Company for such insurance.
(c) The obligations under this
Section 6.6
shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely
affect any indemnitee to whom this
Section 6.6
applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this
Section 6.6
applies shall be third party beneficiaries of
this
Section 6.6
and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).
(d) In the event Parent or
the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or
(ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Entity, as the
case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.6
.
6.7
Additional Agreements
.
In case at any
time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of
the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Parent.
6.8
Publicity
.
Except with respect to any action taken pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Section 6.4
, so long as
this Agreement is in effect, neither Parent nor the Company shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to, or otherwise make any public statement
concerning, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as may be required by applicable Law or the applicable rules of any stock
exchange, in which event such party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other parties to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement and shall give due
consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto.
6.9
Rule 16b-3 Actions
.
Parent and the
Company agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain those officers and directors of the Company who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a)
36
of the Exchange Act in connection with the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that such Persons not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this
Section 6.9

Special Committee for the Badlands
Transaction
c/o the Board of Directors
Digital Cinema
Destinations Corp.
250 East Broad Street
Westfield, NJ
07090
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have
requested our opinion (the Opinion), as investment bankers, as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the holders of the outstanding securities (the Securities), of Digital Cinema Destinations Corp.
(DCIN or the Company), subject to DCIN being acquired by Carmike Cinemas, Inc. (Carmike), (the Transaction) (hereafter DCIN and Carmike are collectively referred to herein as the Parties).
The terms and conditions of the Transaction are set forth in a form of agreement and plan of merger entered into between DCIN and Carmike, which form has been provided to Maxim by DCIN (the Acquisition Agreement). Pursuant to the
Acquisition Agreement: (i) Carmike will/has created a direct wholly-owned subsidiary (the Merger Sub). The Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company. The Company shall continue as the surviving entity (the Surviving
Entity), and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Transaction. Upon consummation of the Transaction, the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub shall terminate. The surviving entity shall possess all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and be subject to all of the restrictions, disabilities and duties, of the Company and Merger Sub,
(ii) each share of the Companys common stock, except for shares of the Companys common stock owned by Carmike, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, shall be converted into the right to receive, without
interest, that fraction of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Carmikes common stock equal to the following exchange ratio 0.1775:1. All shares of the Companys common stock that are owned by Carmike, Merger Sub, the Company or any of
their respective subsidiaries, immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange thereof, (iii) the Company shall also take all
necessary action to redeem their Series B Preferred Stock (iv) Carmike to purchase all JV membership interests of Start Media and (v) the potential for the third-party pipeline transactions as referred in the Acquisition Agreement (the
Pipeline), in Carmikes discretion, not to be suitably delivered at closing, the Pipeline could result in an exchange ratio adjustment of up to 0.014:1. The Opinion is based upon, among the other maters addressed herein, the parameters,
assumptions and calculations set forth in the materials attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Materials). The Opinion is also subject to the following assumptions, conditions, qualifications, notices and disclaimers.
Maxim Group LLC (Maxim) provides a multitude of financial services including investment banking; private wealth management; and
global institutional equity, fixed-income and derivatives sales and trading as well as equity research. Maxim and its affiliates, or other related entities or individuals, may at any time purchase, sell, hold or vote long or short positions and
investments in securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments of the Company, or Carmike, and any of their respective affiliates and third parties, or any currency or commodity that may
be involved in the Transaction. Maxim will receive a fee from the Company for delivering this Opinion as well as reimbursement of certain expenses, and a significant portion of the fee is contingent upon a successful completion of the Transaction.
The Company has agreed to indemnify Maxim against certain liabilities, and to reimburse it for certain liabilities in connection with Maxim providing the Opinion. No controlling person of Maxim is directly personally receiving compensation or other
remuneration from any of the Parties. Maxim has previously provided investment banking
|
|
|

|
|
|
and financial advisory services to the Company and its affiliates for which our Investment Banking Division has received, and may in the future receive additional compensation. Specifically,
Maxim was the Companys book runner in its initial public offering on or around April, 2012, and the Company is currently the subject of published research by an analyst at Maxim. Maxim may also in the future provide investment banking services
or other services to the Parties for which Maxim may receive compensation.
In connection with this Opinion, we have reviewed, including
but not limited to, the following information/documents: the Acquisition Agreement, Annual Reports to stockholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of the Company since its initial public offering in April of 2012; certain interim reports to
stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of the Company since its initial IPO in April 2012; certain publicly available research analyst reports for the Company; internal business plans and presentations; business agreements; and certain
internal financial analyses and forecasts for DCIN prepared by DCINs management team, as approved for our use by the Company as the case may be (the Forecasts). We reviewed the reported price and trading activity for the
Securities; compared certain financial and stock market information for the Company with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; reviewed the financial terms of certain recently closed strategic
transactions, business combinations, and acquisitions within the motion picture exhibitor / movie theatre industry. In rendering this Opinion, we have assumed that the definitive Acquisition Agreement will not differ materially from the draft that
we reviewed, and that there will be no change to the contemplated structure of the Transaction by the Parties.
In order to render this
Opinion, we have relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other documentation and information provided to,
discussed with, or reviewed by us and have, with your consent, relied on such information as being complete and accurate in all material respects, including any documentation and information originally produced by the Parties and provided by the
Company to Maxim. In that regard, we have assumed with your consent that the Forecasts have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company and those financial
projections originally produced by DCIN and provided by the Company to Maxim. We have assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, reserves, business operations since the date of
the financial statements referenced herein. Moreover, it is understood that the Forecasts are based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including without limitation, factors related to general economic, market and
competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such Forecasts, and as noted previously, Maxim has relied on these Forecasts without independent verification or analyses and does not in any
respect assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any joint ventures, contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets
and liabilities) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, joint ventures and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. We have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the
consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the expected benefits of the Transaction in any way meaningful to our analysis. We are not actuaries and our services did not include any actuarial determination or
evaluation by us or any attempt to evaluate actuarial assumptions, and we have relied on the Company with respect to the appropriateness and adequacy of reserves of the Company and actuarial assumptions used by the Company in connection with the
Forecasts. In that regard, we have made no analysis of, and express no opinion as to, the appropriateness or adequacy of reserves or actuarial assumptions. Maxim has relied upon assurances by the Parties that they are unaware of any facts that would
make their respective information incomplete or misleading. Maxim has no obligation to update or modify the Opinion.

Our Opinion does not address the underlying business decision of the Company to engage in the
Transaction, or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company; nor does it address any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting matters. The Opinion also does not take into account
DCINs pipeline of proposed acquisition targets. Should the third-party Pipeline, in Carmikes discretion, not to be suitably delivered at closing, the Pipeline could result in an exchange ratio adjustment of up to 0.014:1. This Opinion
addresses only the fairness from a financial point of the Transaction to the holders of the Securities, as of the date hereof as described below. We do not express any view on, and our Opinion does not address, any other term or aspect of the
Acquisition Agreement or Transaction or any term or aspect of any other agreement or instrument contemplated by the Agreements or entered into or amended in connection with the Transaction, including the fairness of the Transaction to, or any
consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company; nor as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be paid or payable to any of
the officers, directors, or employees of the Company or class of such persons, in connection with the Transaction, whether relative to the Contribution pursuant to the Agreements or otherwise. Our Opinion is necessarily based on the economic,
monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof and we assume no responsibility for updating, revising or reaffirming this Opinion based on circumstances, developments or events
occurring after the date hereof. Our Opinion does not compare the relative merits of the Transaction with any other alternative transaction or business strategy which may have been available to or considered by the Special Committee, DCIN or its
Board, or address the underlying business decision of the Special Committee, DCIN or its Board to proceed with the Transaction. Maxim was not requested to, and did not, explore alternatives to the Transaction or solicit interest of any other parties
in pursuing transactions with DCIN.
The Opinion has been prepared exclusively for the use of the Special Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company in its deliberation of the Transaction and may not be used for any other purpose including the
S-4
and Proxy without our prior written consent, except unless required to be produced
pursuant to a valid legal or regulatory request. The Opinion has not been prepared for the Company or its shareholders, nor will it grant them any rights or remedies. The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how the Special Committee,
Board or any holder of Securities should vote with respect to such Transaction or any other matter. This Opinion has been approved by a committee of Maxim investment banking and other professionals in accordance with our customary practice.

We have relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other documentation and
information provided to, discussed with, or reviewed by us and have, with your consent, relied on such information as being complete and accurate in all material respects, including any documentation and information originally produced by the
Parties and provided by the Company to Maxim.
|
|
|
We have assumed with your consent that the Forecasts have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company and those financial
projections originally produced by DCIN and provided by the Company to Maxim.
|
|
|
Assumptions utilized by the Company and provided by the Companys management for developing the financial projections include:
|
|
|
|
The model includes actual monthly results for each theater from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2014 (unaudited, except as contained in the Companys audited financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2013).
|
|
|
|
The Torrington, Mechanicsburg and Churchville theaters were not operated by the Company for the 12 month period ended March 31, 2014. As such, forecasted results for these theaters are based on a combination of
historical results from the sellers, and the Companys historical results for the periods operated.
|
|
|
|
Monthly forecasts were created assuming a 3.0% annual increase in revenues, from a combination of price increases and other organic growth (alternative content, other attendance growth, new concession offerings,
pricing & product promotions, etc.). Historical attendance figures were used to forecast future periods and were left unchanged. Management believes 3.0% growth is a conservative assumption, consistent with inflationary price increases and
in response to price increases competitors would enact over time. All future periods assumed a 3.0% growth rate except as noted below:
|
|
|
|
During the month of April 2014 the Company assumed a 15.0% growth rate for all revenues and expenses; and
|
|
|
|
During the months of May and June of 2014 the Company assumed a 5.0% decrease for all revenues and expenses.
|
|
|
|
As has been experienced historically, film rent and cost of concession sales were assumed to grow at the same percentage of revenues. A 2.0% growth rate was assumed for certain other variable costs such as personnel and
utilities to assume modest inflationary increases. Other expenses were left unchanged and based on historical results as the Company does not foresee significant cost increases that would accompany a conservative 3.0% annual revenue increase.
|
|
|
|
The Company undergoes annual audits, and quarterly reviews, from its outside auditing firm EisnerAmper LLP. The auditors propose certain adjustments to the Companys financial statements based upon their audits and
reviews. Some of these adjustments are to reclassify amounts among financial statement line items, other adjustments relate to expense accruals or recognition of income. Historically these amounts have been immaterial, but the Company has always
made the proposed adjustments. However, some of these adjustments were recorded topside to the financials but were not recorded to the Companys general ledger system. Upon re-running the numbers for any purpose, the historical
financials may not tie to the financials filed with the SEC. However such differences are immaterial in comparison to the overall numbers.
|
|
|
The Northlight loan was assumed to be repaid according to its existing terms and paid off during 2017 with cash on hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
|
|
No new acquisition, nor any equity or debt financings were assumed.
|
|
|
The forecasts were extended until March 31, 2019. For modeling purposes, figures through December 31, 2018 were used throughout this presentation.
|
|
|
The Opinion also does not take into account DCINs pipeline of proposed acquisition targets. Should the third-party Pipeline, in Carmikes discretion, not to be suitably delivered at closing, the Pipeline
could result in an exchange ratio adjustment of up to 0.014:1.

Public Comparable Company Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
This method applies the public market information of companies comparable to DCIN. The methodology assumes
that companies in the same industry share similar markets. The potential for revenue and earnings growth is usually dependent upon the characteristics of the growth rates of these markets, and companies in the same industry experience similar
operating characteristics. The underlying components in the comparable company analysis assume both DCIN and the Comparable Companies are ongoing concerns.
Using publicly available information, Maxim compared selected financial data of DCIN with similar data of the publicly traded Motion Picture Theater Companies
considered by Maxim to be comparable to DCIN. In this regard, Maxim noted that although such companies were considered similar, none of the companies has the same management, makeup, size or combination of business as DCIN. The comparable group
includes: Cinemark Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CNK), Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC), AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC), IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX), Carmike Cinemas Inc. (Nasdaq: CKEC), The Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS), Reading
International, Inc. (Nasdaq: RDI) (collectively, the Comparable Companies).
Maxim analyzed the following financial data for each of the
Comparable Companies: (1) the total enterprise value (TEV) (defined as the market value of common stock (the number of diluted shares multiplied by the closing price of the common stock), plus total debt, plus preferred
stock, plus minority interest, less cash) as a multiple of the last twelve months (LTM) and 2014 estimated adjusted EBITDA (a mean consensus of research analysts Adjusted EBITDA estimates as reported by Bloomberg); (2) TEV as
a multiple of LTM and 2014 estimated Revenue; and (3) TEV as a multiple of theater screens owned (as reflected in each Comparable Companies latest filed financial statement).

Precedent Transaction Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
Maxim reviewed certain publicly available information for closed precedent motion picture theater
acquisitions for the period of April 15, 2011 to April 30, 2014. Maxim identified 31 relevant transactions involving purchases of similar motion picture theaters (the Comparable Transactions). The information we reviewed in the
selected transactions consisted of the total transaction value (implied enterprise value) divided by the targets prior twelve months of revenue, prior twelve months of adjusted EBITDA, and screens owned at the time of acquisition. Of the 31
transactions identified, twenty-one (21) contained data for screens owned as of the acquisition date by the target, five (5) contained prior twelve month revenues, and four (4) contained prior twelve months of adjusted EBITDA.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (DCF)
|
|
|
|
|
Maxim utilized a discounted cash flow analysis that calculates the present value of DCIN based on the sum of
the present values of the projected available cash flow streams and the terminal value of the equity.
Maxim utilized the Companys financial
projections, provided by DCINs management (based on financial and operational data and assumptions), of the cash flow from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2018. The projected future values were discounted using a discount rate
or 17.3% (equivalent to DCINs weighted average cost of capital (WACC)).
Maxim determined the terminal value using two methodologies,
(1) assuming a Growth in Perpetuity percentage of 3%; and (2) applying the 2014 average adjusted EBITDA multiple from the trading comparables (noted on page 18 of this presentation) to projected 2018 EBITDA, which yielded an implied
enterprise value range of $11.1 million to $44.5 million.
In determining the discount rates used in the discounted cash flow analysis, we noted, among
other things, factors such as inflation, prevailing market interest rates, and the inherent business risk and rates of return required by investors. In determining the appropriate adjusted EBITDA multiple used in calculating DCINs projected future
enterprise value, Maxim noted, among other things, the multiples at which public companies which Maxim deemed comparable to DCIN currently traded.

Summary of Valuation Methodologies and Analysis
|
|
|
|
|
In determining the summary enterprise value ranges below, Maxim applied 2 methodologies to determine the
ranges of enterprise value: (i) weighted average weighting to what Maxim believes may be the relevant valuation metrics based on their level of significance to valuation for Motion Picture Theater companies; and (ii) an equal weighting to
the same valuation metrics utilized in the weighted average methodology articulated in section (i) of this paragraph.
