NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
CARMIKE CINEMAS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On August 8, 2000 (the Petition Date), Carmike and its subsidiaries, Eastwynn Theatres, Inc. (Eastwynn), Wooden Nickel Pub, Inc. (Wooden Nickel) and Military Services, Inc. (collectively the Company) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 (the chapter 11 cases) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the chapter 11 cases, the Company reported in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7) from August 8, 2000 through January 31, 2002. SOP 90-7 requires, among other things, (i) that pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise be segregated in the Companys consolidated balance sheet as liabilities subject to compromise and (ii) the identification of all transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization of the Company in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
On January 4, 2002, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order confirming the Companys Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated as of November 14, 2001 (the Plan). The Plan became effective on January 31, 2002 (the Reorganization Date).
Further, the Companys accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and bankruptcy related items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
NOTE 2 PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 11
In the chapter 11 cases, discussed above, substantially all unsecured and partially secured liabilities as of the Petition Date were subject to compromise or other treatment until a plan of reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect repayment of all pre-chapter 11 liabilities as well as all pending litigation against the Company were stayed while the Company continued their business operations as debtors-in-possession.
The Company could not pay pre-petition debts without prior Bankruptcy Court approval during the chapter 11 cases. Immediately after the commencement of the chapter 11 cases, the Company sought and obtained several orders from the Bankruptcy Court which were intended to stabilize their business and enable the Company to continue operations as debtors-in-possession. The most significant of these orders: (i) permitted the Company to operate their consolidated cash management system during the chapter 11 cases in substantially the same manner as it was operated prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 cases; (ii) authorized payment of pre-petition wages, vacation pay and employee benefits and reimbursement of employee business
6
expenses; (iii) authorized payment of pre-petition sales and use taxes owed by the Company; (iv) authorized the Company to pay up to $2,250,000 of pre-petition obligations to critical vendors, common carriers and workers compensation insurance to aid the Company in maintaining operation of their theatres and approximately $37 million to film distributors; and (v) authorized debt service payments for the loan related to Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia.
As debtors-in-possession, the Company had the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other limitations, to assume or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases during the chapter 11 cases. In this context, assumption means that the Company agrees to perform their obligations and cure all existing defaults under the contract or lease, and rejection means that the Company is relieved from its obligations to perform further under the contract or lease but is subject to a claim for damages for the breach thereof. Any damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases were treated as general unsecured claims in the chapter 11 cases. During the chapter 11 cases, the Company received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to reject theatre leases relating to 136 theatre locations of the Company. The Company estimated the ultimate liability that may result from rejecting leases. However, the ultimate liability may differ from such estimates based on settlements of claims that have or may be filed in the future for which provisions have not yet been made.
As a result of the chapter 11 cases, no principal or interest payments were made on unsecured pre-petition debt. On October 27, 2000, the Company received Bankruptcy Court approval to make debt service payments for the loan related to Industrial Revenue Bonds issued by the Downtown Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia. The Company reached an agreement with its creditor constituencies that provides for the payment of cash collateral and adequate protection, as those terms are defined in the Bankruptcy Code. The Company made payments to the secured lenders in the amount of $8,272,821 on March 5, 2001 and made payments of $500,000 per month as adequate protection payments. All of these payments are treated as principal payments under the creditor agreement.
Additionally, after the Petition Date, the Company could not declare dividends for its Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock dividends of $7.0 million were in arrears at December 31, 2001. The terms of the Preferred Stock agreement provide, with respect to dividend arrearages, that the dividend accrual rate increases to 8.5%. In view of the Companys having ceased making scheduled dividend payments on the Preferred Stock after the Petition Date, the holders of the Preferred Stock designated two additional directors to the Companys Board of Directors.
Also, during the chapter 11 cases, the Company reached an agreement to restructure its master lease facility with MoviePlex Realty Leasing, L.L.C. (MoviePlex) and entered into the Second Amended and Restated Master Lease, dated as of September 1, 2001 (the New Master Lease). Under the New Master Lease, Carmike has entered into a new 15-year lease for the six MoviePlex properties with an option to extend the term for an additional five years. The Original MoviePlex Lease was terminated and prepetition defaults of $493,680 under the Original MoviePlex Lease were paid. The initial first twelve months base rent for the six theatres is an aggregate of $5.4 million per annum ($450,000 per month), subject to periodic increases thereafter and certain additional rent obligations such as percentage rent.
All past due rent, additional rent, and/or other sums due to MoviePlex under the terms of the New Master Lease bear interest from the date which is five days from the due date until paid by
7
Carmike at the rate of 2% above the published prime rate of Wachovia Bank, N.A. Under the New Master Lease, Carmike pays all real estate taxes with respect to the leased premises.
When the Plan became effective on January 31, 2002, Carmike filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which cancelled all then existing Class A and Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company and established authorized capital stock of twenty million (20,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock, par value $.03 per share, and one million (1,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Company currently has only reorganized Carmike Common Stock outstanding and has 8,991,262 shares of such stock outstanding.
Material features of the Plan are:
| The Plan provides for the issuance or reservation for future issuance of ten million (10,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock in the aggregate. | |
| The holders of Carmikes cancelled Class A and Class B Common Stock received in the aggregate 22.2% of the ten million (10,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock. | |
| The holders of Carmikes cancelled Series A Preferred Stock received in the aggregate 41.2% of the ten million (10,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock. | |
| Certain holders of $45,685,000 in aggregate principal amount of the cancelled 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 issued by Carmike prior to the chapter 11 cases (the Original Senior Subordinated Notes) received in the aggregate 26.6% of the ten million (10,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock. | |
| Carmike reserved one million (1,000,000) shares of the reorganized Carmike Common Stock for issuance under a new management incentive plan (the 2002 Stock Plan). Under the 2002 Stock Plan 780,000 shares have been authorized for issuance to Michael W. Patrick pursuant to his new employment agreement as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and 220,000 shares have been authorized for issuance to seven other members of senior management. | |
| The holders of Bank Claims in the chapter 11 cases received New Bank Debt and cash in the amount of approximately $35 million plus accrued and unpaid post-petition interest on the Bank Claims from January 15, 2002 to the Reorganization Date. Bank Claims consisted of claims of certain banks arising under: (i) the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 29, 1999, and amended as of March 31, 2000 and (ii) the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of February 25, 1999, as amended as of July 13, 1999, and further amended as of March 31, 2000, and certain related documents. New Bank Debt consists of approximately $254 million and bears interest, at the greater of: (a) at the option of Carmike, (i) a specified base rate plus 3.5% or (ii) LIBOR plus 4.5%; and (b) 7.75% per annum. | |
| Carmike issued $154,315,000 of its new 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the New Senior Subordinated Notes) in exchange for $154,315,000 aggregate principal |
8
amount of the claims in the chapter 11 cases concerning the Original Senior Subordinated Notes. | ||
| 136 of Carmikes underperforming theatres were rejected. Lease terminations and settlement agreements are being negotiated for the resolution of lease termination claims, and the restructuring or other disposition of lease obligations. | |
| General unsecured creditors will receive payments in the aggregate of up to $53.8 million with an annual interest rate of 9.4% in resolution of their allowed claims in Carmike's reorganization, including claims for damages resulting from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases. Of these claims, $36.7 million are disputed. As such, the Company's ultimate liability for these claims is uncertain and is subject to bankruptcy court resolution. |
On the Reorganization Date, the Company entered into a new term loan credit agreement (the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement), which governs the terms of the New Bank Debt. The Companys subsidiaries have guaranteed the Companys obligations under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement. The lenders under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement have (i) a second priority, perfected lien on owned real property and, to the extent landlord approval was obtained or not required, leased real property of the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) a second priority, perfected security interest in the capital stock of all Company subsidiaries; and (iii) a second priority, security interest in substantially all personal property owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. All of the security interests and liens that secure the New Bank Debt under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement are junior and subordinate to the liens and security interests of the collateral agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement described below.
The final maturity date of the New Bank Debt loans under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement is January 31, 2007. The principal payments of $10 million are due June 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning June 30, 2002 and ending June 30, 2006. In addition, the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement contains covenants that require the Company, among other things, to meet certain financial ratios and that prohibit the Company from taking certain actions and entering into certain transactions. There are also provisions in the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement as to when the Company must prepay portions of the loans.
Also on the Reorganization Date, the Company closed on a revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) totaling $50 million. The proceeds of advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be used to provide working capital financing to the Company and its subsidiaries and for funds for other general corporate purposes of the Company. The Company, on the Reorganization Date, borrowed $20 million of the Revolving Credit Agreement in partial repayment of its obligations owing to the banks under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has repaid the borrowed $20 million and has no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is set from time to time at the Companys option (subject to certain conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement) at either: (i) the Index Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus 1.75% per annum or (ii) the applicable LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus 3.25% per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) outstanding from time to time. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all tangible or intangible property of the Company (but does not include certain equipment or real estate constituting premises subject to the master leasing agreement with MoviePlex Realty
9
Leasing, L.L.C.). The Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, prohibit the Company from taking certain actions and entering into certain transactions. There are also provisions in the Revolving Credit Agreement as to when the Company must prepay portions of the loans.
In addition, on the Reorganization Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued $154,315,000 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the New Senior Subordinated Notes), in exchange for $154,315,000 aggregate principal amount of the Original Senior Subordinated Note Claims in the Companys bankruptcy case relating to the Companys former 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the Original Senior Subordinated Notes); the remaining $45,685,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes were exchanged under the Plan for shares of reorganized Company Common Stock, as previously reported. The New Senior Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2002, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the Indenture). The Companys subsidiary guarantees of the New Senior Subordinated Notes are junior and subordinated on the same basis as the New Senior Subordinated Notes are junior and subordinated to the Companys Senior Debt (as defined in the Indenture and includes the debt described above under the Post-Confirmation and Revolving Credit Agreements). Interest at 10 3/8% per annum from the issue date to maturity is payable on the New Senior Subordinated Notes each February 1 and August 1, with the first interest payment date being February 1, 2002. The New Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the Companys option under certain conditions after February 1, 2004. Further, the Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restricts the Company in connection with the incurrence of additional indebtedness not including the debt incurred under the Post-Confirmation and Revolving Credit Agreements as described above, asset sales, changes of control and transactions with affiliates.
The reorganization value of the assets of the Company immediately before the Reorganization Date was greater than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and the Plan does not result in a change in ownership as defined by Statement of Position 90-7; accordingly, the Company will continue to recognize its historical basis of accounting.

(1) | On the Reorganization Date, Carmike entered into the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement that replaced the existing Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B. The lenders under the Credit Facility have certain security interests and liens on substantially all of Carmikes assets. All of the security interests and liens that secure the Credit Facility are junior and subordinate to the liens and security interests of the collateral agent under the Revolving Credit Agreement described below. | |
The final maturity date of the Credit Facility is January 31, 2007. Principal payments of $10 million are due June 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning June 30, 2002 and ending June 30, 2006. The Credit Facility bears interest at the greater of (a) at the option of Carmike, a specified base rate plus 3.5% or an adjusted LIBOR plus 4.5%, and (b) 7.75% per annum. In addition, the Credit Facility contains covenants that require the Company, among other things, to meet certain financial ratios and that also prohibit the Company from taking certain actions and entering into certain transactions. |
11
(2) | Also on the Reorganization Date, the Company entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement totaling $50 million. The proceeds of advances under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be used to provide working capital financing to the Company and its subsidiaries and for funds for other general corporate purposes of the Company. The Company, on the Reorganization Date, borrowed $20 million of the Revolving Credit Facility in partial repayment of its obligations owing to the banks under the Post-Confirmation Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has repaid the $20 million and has no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Agreement. | |
The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement is set from time to time at the Companys option (subject to certain conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement) at either: (i) a specified base rate plus 1.75% per annum or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) outstanding from time to time. The lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement have certain security interests and liens on substantially all of Carmikes assets. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, prohibit the Company from taking certain actions and entering into certain transactions. The Revolving Credit Agreement terminates on October 31, 2006. | ||
(3) | In addition, on the Reorganization Date and pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued $154,315,000 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009, in exchange for $154,315,000 aggregate principal amount of the 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes; the remaining $45,685,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 9 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes were exchanged under the Plan for shares of reorganized Company Common Stock. Interest from the issue date to maturity is payable on the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes each February 1 and August 1, with the first interest payment date being February 1, 2002. The 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the Companys option under certain conditions after February 1, 2004. Further, the Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restricts the Company in connection with the incurrence of additional indebtedness not including the debt incurred under the Revolving Credit Agreement as described above, asset sales, changes of control and transactions with affiliates. |
NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
When the Plan became effective on January 31, 2002, Carmike filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Restated Certificate), which cancelled all then existing Class A and Class B Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company and established authorized capital stock of twenty million (20,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock, par value $.03 per share, and one million (1,000,000) shares of reorganized Carmike Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Company currently has 8,991,262 shares of reorganized Carmike Common Stock outstanding.
The Plan provides for the issuances of reorganized Carmike Common Stock as follows:

NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under Statement No. 109, the liability method is used in
13
accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
In connection with the reorganization, it is anticipated that the Company may undergo an ownership change or changes within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, the ability of the Company to use the net operating losses and credits may be severely limited and will be subject to an annual limitation based on the product of the fair value of the Company immediately before reorganization multiplied by the federal long-term tax exempt bond rate.
For tax purposes, the discharge of the liabilities pursuant to the chapter 11 cases may result in income that is excluded from the Companys taxable income. However, certain of the Companys tax attributes, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits, may be reduced by the amount of cancellation of debt income. To the extent the amount excluded exceeds these tax attributes, the tax basis in the Companys property must be reduced by the amount of the excluded cancellation of debt income. It is estimated that after the reorganization and the items discussed below, the Company will have approximately $127.1 million in federal and state net operating loss carryovers.
The Company has recorded a benefit for taxes refundable under the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (the Act) of $14.7 million. The Act became effective on March 9, 2002 and among other things extends the carryback period for net operating losses from two to five years for taxpayers with net operating losses for any tax year ending during 2001 or 2002. The new provision also temporarily suspends the 90% limitation found in Internal Revenue Code Section 56(d)(1) on the use of net operating loss carrybacks arising in tax years ending in 2001 and 2002 for alternative minimum tax purposes. Therefore, taxpayers that have paid alternative minimum tax during any tax year in the carryback period, because of the 90% limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset alternative minimum taxable income, can utilize this provision to obtain a refund.
The Company has offset in its U.S. Federal income returns Federal net operating loss carryback claims for the tax years 1996, 1997, and 1998 to obtain refunds (which were received in July 2002) of regular tax and alternative minimum tax of $8.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The alternative minimum tax credit carryover of $6.0 million will be reduced to zero as a result of the net operating loss carryback claims.
NOTE 8 STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the 2002 Stock Plan, the Company granted the President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael W. Patrick, 780,000 shares of Common Stock on January 31, 2002, which will vest during a five year time period. The Company is recording compensation expense associated with this grant ratably over the five year time period. Compensation expense amounted to $534,000 and $801,000 in the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
In addition, in May 2002 the Company granted stock awards for up to 220,000 shares of Common Stock to certain key employees. The employees must attain certain performance measures in each of the next three years and the stock awards vest twenty-five months after the
14
applicable annual performance measures are met. Compensation expense amounted to $199,000 in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002.
NOTE 9 CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA FOR GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES
Carmikes subsidiaries, Eastwynn, Wooden Nickel and Military Services, fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee Carmikes payment on the $154 million principal amount of New Senior Subordinated Notes.
Eastwynn, Wooden Nickel and Military Services are direct, U.S. subsidiaries of Carmike. Carmike and the guarantor subsidiaries conduct substantially all of their operations on a consolidated basis. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because, in the opinion of management, such financial statements are not material to investors. Carmike also has several unconsolidated affiliates which are not guarantors of the New Senior Subordinated Notes and are inconsequential to Carmike on a consolidated basis.

NOTE 10 IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On January 1, 2002 we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 provided that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer to be amortized. These assets are to be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001 continued through December 31, 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, we determined that
15
the required impairment testing related to the Companys goodwill and other intangible assets did not require write-down of any such assets.
The impact of goodwill amortization on net income (loss) was as follows:

SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121, and applies to all long-lived assets (including discontinued operations). Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, which did not have a material effect on its results of operations.

| Carmike faces uncertainties related to digital cinema; | ||
| A prolonged economic downturn could materially affect the Companys business by reducing amounts consumers spend on attending movies; | ||

and the other factors detailed from time to time in Carmikes filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Carmikes Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
By making these forward-looking statements, the Company does not undertake to update them in any manner except as may be required by its disclosure obligations in filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Federal securities laws.
Overview
Carmike is one of the largest motion picture exhibitors in the United States. The Company currently operates 309 theatres with 2,264 screens located in 35 states, making it the second largest exhibitor in the country by number of theatres and the third largest by number of screens. Of the Companys 309 theatres, 270 theatres are theatres that show films on a first-run basis, and
18
the remaining 39 theatres are discount theatres. Carmike targets small- to mid-size non-urban markets. More than 80% of its theatres are located in communities with populations of fewer than 100,000.
Chapter 11 Cases
On August 8, 2000, Carmike and its subsidiaries Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., Wooden Nickel Pub, Inc. and Military Services, Inc. filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the Chapter 11 Cases). The Companys chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization became effective on January 31, 2002.
Ten million shares of Carmike Common Stock were reserved for issuance on January 31, 2002 or on a date later contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization; Carmike currently has 8,991,262 shares of a single class of Common Stock outstanding. On January 31, 2002, Carmike also entered into a new $254.5 million term loan credit agreement and closed on a revolving credit agreement totaling $50 million. The proceeds of advances under the revolving credit agreement will be used to provide working capital financing to the Company and for funds for its other general purposes. Carmike borrowed $20 million of the revolving credit agreement in partial repayment of its obligations owing to the banks under the term loan credit agreement, and Carmike has since repaid all outstanding amounts under the revolving credit agreement.
Recent Developments
On June 7, 2002, Carmike filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was amended on July 17, 2002 and may be further amended, to register the sale through an underwritten public offering of up to 3,750,000 shares of its Common Stock (which includes 750,000 shares to be offered by certain selling stockholders), plus up to an additional 562,500 shares pursuant to an underwriters over-allotment option. Under the June 21, 2002 amendment to Carmikes revolving credit agreement, the agent and the lenders agreed to waive any requirement for any reduction in the commitments under the agreement as a result of the issuance by Carmike of shares of Common Stock in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that closes no later than September 30, 2002. Additionally, certain amendments have been tentatively worked out among the parties to a certain Stockholders Agreement and a certain Registration Rights Agreement, both dated January 31, 2002, to permit the sale of shares in the offering by the selling stockholders.
If Carmike is able to successfully complete the public offering, the Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the offering to reduce its existing debt. The Company had expected to complete the public offering during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2002. However, market conditions have already delayed the offering and a continuation of poor market conditions or other unanticipated events could further delay the public offering or cause the Company to postpone or cancel the offering. The Company cannot assure you when or if it will be able to complete the proposed public offering.

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended
June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001
Results Of Operations
Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $137.5 million, an increase of 26.3% from $108.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, because of the patron acceptance of films exhibited and higher concession sales. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Companys average admission price was $4.70, its average concession sale per patron was $2.22 and the attendance per average screen was 8,428. For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Companys average admission price was $4.76, its average concession sale per patron was $2.16 and the attendance per average screen was 6,500. The increase in per screen attendance resulted in the increase of total revenue. As a result of these increases, the Companys average revenue per screen increased by 30.4% to approximately $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
Carmike operated 309 theatres with 2,264 screens at June 30, 2002 compared to 330 theatres with 2,366 screens at June 30, 2001.
Costs of operations (film exhibition costs, concession costs and other theatre operating costs) increased 15.6% from $91.1 million to $105.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Film exhibition costs increased to $52.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $41.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 due to increased sales volume associated with increased attendance. Concessions costs increased slightly to $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $5.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Other theatre operating costs, consisting primarily of occupancy costs, salaries, supplies and utilities, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased 4.2% to $46.9 million from $45.0 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was the result of fewer theatres and the effect of rejected leases approved by the Bankruptcy Court through the Chapter 11 Cases. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of operations decreased to 77% of total revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from 84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 21.7% to $253.9 million from $208.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase consists of a $28.5 million increase in admissions and a $16.9 million increase in concessions and other. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Companys average admission price was $4.82, its average concession sale per patron was $2.18 and the attendance per average screen was 15,464. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Companys average admission price was $4.78, its average concession sale per patron was $2.09 and the attendance per average screen was 12,370. The increase in per screen attendance as well as per patron admissions and concessions, slightly offset by the lower screen count, resulted in the increase of total revenue. The average revenue per screen increased by 28% to $111,178 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $86,836 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Costs of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 10.8% from $176.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $195.6 million. Film exhibition costs increased to $92.8 million from $75.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to increased sales volume associated with increased attendance. Concession costs were $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $9.2 million for the six
20
months ended June 30, 2001. Other theatre costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 0.7% to $92.0 million from $91.4 million for the same period in 2001. This increase was the result of higher labor costs due to increased sales volume. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of operations decreased to 77.0% of total revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 84.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1.6 million for the same period last year. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002 general and administrative expenses were $5.5 million compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increases are due to non-cash charges related to the stock grants for the Companys CEO and other key employees under the 2002 Stock Plan. Included in general and administrative expenses was $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 24.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 at $8.1 million compared $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This decrease primarily results from the Companys lowering the carrying values of property and equipment as discussed in Note 4 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 as well as the Companys ceasing to record amortization on goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased 600% to $11.2 million from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The Company had stopped recording interest expense relating to substantially all of its debt facilities effective August 8, 2000 through January 31, 2002 in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities In Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.
The Company has recorded a benefit for taxes refundable under the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 (the Act) of $14.7 million. The Act became effective on March 9, 2002 and among other things extends the carryback period for net operating losses from two to five years for taxpayers with net operating losses for any tax year ending during 2001 or 2002. The new provision also temporarily suspends the 90% limitation found in Internal Revenue Code Section 56(d)(1) on the use of net operating loss carrybacks arising in tax years ending in 2001 and 2002 for alternative minimum tax purposes. Therefore, taxpayers that have paid alternative minimum tax during any tax year in the carryback period, because of the 90% limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset alternative minimum taxable income, can utilize this provision to obtain a refund.
The Company has offset in its U.S. Federal income returns Federal net operating loss carryback claims for the tax years 1996, 1997, and 1998 to obtain refunds (which were received in July 2002) of regular tax and alternative minimum tax of $8.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The alternative minimum tax credit carryover of $6.04 million will be reduced to zero as a result of the net operating loss carryback claims.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys revenues are collected in cash and credit cards, principally through admissions and theatre concessions. Because the Company receives its revenues in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, it has an operating float which partially finances its
21
operations. The Company had a working capital deficit of $21.3 million as of June 30, 2002, compared to working capital of $33.4 million at June 30, 2001. The decreased working capital recorded as of June 30, 2002 reflects the payment of interest and fees at the completion of the Companys reorganization. At December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $94.2 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand, substantially all of which was used to repay pre-petition liabilities and associated interest on the effective date of the Companys reorganization. As of August 5, 2002, the Company had approximately $56.8 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Carmikes capital expenditures arise principally in connection with the development of new theatres, renovation and expansion of existing theatres and theatre acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, such capital expenditures totaled $1.7 million. In connection with the Companys credit agreements, the Company will be limited to capital expenditures, as defined, of $20 million in 2002, $15 million in 2003, $10 million in 2004 and $15 million in each of 2005 and 2006. However, beginning in 2003, these limits may increase each year up to $5 million for any given year.
Cash used by operating activities was $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to interest and fees paid at the completion of the Companys reorganization. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to cash provided in investing activities of $3.2 million in the prior year. This decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the decreased level of capital expenditures and receipt of proceeds from sales of long-term assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 cash used by financing activities was $28.5 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million for the previous year. The increase was primarily due to payments made at the effective date of the Companys reorganization.
The Companys liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flow, sales of surplus assets, availability under the revolving credit agreement and short term float. The exhibition industry is very seasonal with the studios normally releasing their premiere film product during the holiday season and summer months. This seasonal positioning of film product makes the Companys needs for cash vary significantly from period to period. Additionally, the ultimate performance of the film product, any time during the calendar year, will have the most dramatic impact on the Companys cash needs.
The Companys ability to service its indebtedness will require a significant amount of cash. The Companys ability to generate this cash will depend largely on future operations. Based upon the Companys current level of operations, it believes that cash flow from operations, available cash, sales of surplus assets and borrowings under the Companys credit agreements will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs. However, the possibility exists that, if the Companys liquidity needs are not met and the Company is unable to service its indebtedness, it could come into technical default under any of its debt instruments, causing the agents or trustees for those instruments to declare all payments due immediately or, in the case of the senior debt, to issue a payment blockage to the more junior debt. A similar situation contributed to the circumstances that led Carmike to file its voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2000.

Financial Covenant Compliance
Term Loan Credit Agreement
The term loan credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $254.5 million, of which $222.9 million were outstanding at June 30, 2002. The interest rate for borrowings under the term loan credit agreement is the greater of (i) at Carmikes option, a specified base rate plus 3.5% or an adjusted LIBOR plus 4.5%, and (ii) 7.75%. The final maturity date of the loans under the term loan credit agreement is January 31, 2007. The principal payment dates are June 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning June 30, 2002 and ending June 30, 2006.
The term loan credit agreement contains covenants which, among other things, restrict Carmikes ability to:
| Pay dividends or make any other restricted payments; | ||
| Create liens on Carmikes assets; | ||
| Make certain investments; and | ||
| Consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of Carmikes assets. |
In addition, the term loan credit agreement contains financial covenants that requires Carmike to maintain specified ratios of funded debt to EBITDA, EBITDA to interest expense on funded debt and EBITDAR to fixed charges. The term loan credit agreement defines the terms used in these covenants. It also limits Carmikes annual capital expenditures, which may not exceed $20.0 million in 2002, $15.0 million in 2003, $10.0 million in 2004 and $15.0 million in 2005 and 2006. However, beginning in 2003, these limits will increase each year by the amount of the unused capital expenditure allowance from the previous year, up to $5.0 million for any given year.
Carmikes failure to comply with any of the required financial ratios for two consecutive fiscal quarters or its failure to comply with the limitation on capital expenditures are events of default under the term loan credit agreement, in which case, if requested by lenders holding at least 51% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the agreement, the administrative agent shall declare the notes (together with any accrued interest) and all other amounts payable due. Other events of default under the term loan credit agreement include:
| Carmikes failure to pay principal or interest on the loans when due and payable, or Carmikes failure to pay certain expenses; | ||
| the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the agreement; or | ||
| the guaranty by Carmikes subsidiaries ceases to be in full force and effect. |
The lenders under the term loan credit agreement have (i) a second priority, perfected lien on owned real property and, to the extent landlord approval was obtained or not required, leased real property of Carmike and its subsidiaries; (ii) a second priority, perfected security interest in the
23
equity interests of Carmike subsidiaries or 50% owned entities; and (iii) a second priority, security interest in substantially all personal property and specified small receivables owned by Carmike and its subsidiaries. All of the security interests and liens that secure the new bank debt under the term loan credit agreement are junior and subordinate to the liens and security interests of the collateral agent under the revolving credit agreement. Carmikes subsidiaries have guaranteed Carmikes obligations under the term loan credit agreement.
Revolving Credit Agreement
The revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $50.0 million. Carmike has no amounts outstanding under this facility. The interest rate for borrowings under the revolving credit agreement is set from time to time at Carmikes option (subject to certain conditions set forth in the revolving credit agreement) at either: (i) a specified base rate plus 1.75% per annum or (ii) an adjusted LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum, based on the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances (as defined in the revolving credit agreement) outstanding from time to time.
The revolving credit agreement contains covenants which, among other things, restrict Carmikes ability to:
| Amend the terms of its supply contracts with Showtime Concession Supply Company and The Coca-Cola Company; | ||
| Amend Michael W. Patricks Chief Executive Officer employment agreement; | ||
| Pay dividends or make any other restricted payments; | ||
| Create liens on Carmikes assets; | ||
| Make certain investments; | ||
| Consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or any substantial part of Carmikes assets; | ||
| Incur additional indebtedness; | ||
| Enter into transactions with Carmikes affiliates; | ||
| Engage in any sale-leaseback, synthetic lease or similar transaction involving any of Carmikes assets; and | ||
| Enter into any operating lease for real estate that would result in an increase in excess of 10% of its aggregate liabilities and those of Carmikes subsidiaries under all existing leases, subject to certain exceptions. |
In addition, the revolving credit agreement contains financial covenants that require Carmike to maintain specified ratios of funded debt to EBITDA, EBITDA to interest expense and revolving credit advances to EBITDA. The terms governing each of these ratios are defined in the revolving credit agreement. That agreement also limits annual capital expenditures, which may not exceed $20.0 million in 2002, and $15.0 million in each year thereafter, provided that,
24
beginning in 2003, the amount of allowable capital expenditures is subject to increases of no more than $5.0 million in any given year.
Carmikes failure to comply with any of these financial ratios or the limitation on capital expenditures is an event of default under the revolving credit agreement, in which case, the agent may, and if requested by the lenders holding at least 66 2/3% of the commitments shall, terminate the revolving credit agreement with respect to additional advances and may declare all or any portion of the obligations due and payable. Other events of default under the revolving credit agreement include:
| Carmikes failure to pay principal or interest on the loans when due and payable, or its failure to pay certain expenses; | ||
| the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the agreement; | ||
| a breach or default by Carmike or its subsidiaries under, or the termination of, the Indenture; | ||
| an event of default under the term loan credit agreement; or | ||
| the termination of the Companys supply contracts with Showtime Concession Supply Company or The Coca-Cola Company. |
Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of Carmikes tangible or intangible property (but does not include certain equipment or real estate constituting premises subject to the master leasing agreement with MoviePlex). Carmikes subsidiaries have guaranteed Carmikes obligations under the revolving credit agreement.
10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
Carmikes new 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 31, 2002, among its subsidiary guarantors named therein, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, and Carmike.
The indenture contains covenants which, among other things, restrict Carmikes ability to:
| Pay dividends or make any other restricted payments; | ||
| Consolidate, merge or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of Carmikes assets; | ||
| Incur additional indebtedness; | ||
| Issue certain types of stock; and | ||
| Enter into transactions with affiliates. |
25
In addition, under the terms of the indenture, Carmike is prohibited from incurring any subordinated debt that is senior in any respect in right of payment to the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.
Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, subject to certain exceptions, Carmike is required to offer to repurchase from each holder all or any part of each holders 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
The indenture contains customary events of default for agreements of this type, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and bankruptcy defaults. If any event of default under the indenture occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes may declare all the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Carmikes subsidiaries have issued guarantees of the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes that are junior and subordinated to the subsidiary guarantees of Carmikes senior debt on the same basis as the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are junior and subordinated to the senior debt (as defined in the indenture and includes the debt described above under Carmikes term loan and revolving credit agreements). Interest at 10 3/8% per annum from the issue date to maturity is payable on the 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes each February 1 and August 1. The 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable at Carmikes option under certain conditions after February 1, 2004.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company is in compliance with all aforementioned covenants.
Seasonality
The Companys revenues are usually seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most marketable motion pictures are released during the summer and the Thanksgiving through year-end holiday season. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter the traditional trend. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on the Companys results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest paid on the Companys debt is largely subject to changes in interest rates in the market. The revolving credit agreement and the new bank debt governed by the term loan credit agreement are based on a structure that is priced over an index or LIBOR rate option.
A substantial number of the Companys theatre leases are off-balance sheet as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for Operating Leases. The cash commitments required for these leases have been included in the contractual obligations schedule included in Carmikes Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and Carmike does not believe that the market risk the Company faces related to these leases is materially different than it was at the date of the Annual Report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Chapter 11 Cases
On August 8, 2000, the Company and its subsidiaries Eastwynn Theatres, Inc., Wooden Nickel Pub, Inc. and Military Services, Inc. filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On January 4, 2002, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order confirming the Companys Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated as November 14, 2001. The Plan of Reorganization became effective on January 31, 2002. Certain claims from the bankruptcy reorganization remain unsettled and are subject to ongoing negotiation and possible litigation. Carmike estimates the amount of these claims at June 30, 2002 to be $40.2 million; however, the final amounts Carmike pays in satisfaction of the claims depend on the Bankruptcy Courts determination.
From time to time, Carmike is involved in routine litigation and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, contractual disputes and claims alleging ADA violations. During the Chapter 11 Cases, litigation claimants against the Company in these cases were treated as unsecured creditors with disputed claims and the cases were stayed. Since the Effective Date, such cases may be settled or adjudicated in jurisdictions in which they were brought. Currently, Carmike does not have pending any litigation or proceedings that management believes will have a material adverse effect, either individually or in the aggregate, upon Carmike.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
