PART I

Item 1. Business

(a) General Development of Business

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

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

(b) Narrative Description of Business

(i) Theatre Operations

The Company is the largest motion picture exhibitor in the United States
in terms of number of theatres and screens operated. As of December 31, 1996,
the Company operated 519 theatres with an aggregate of 2,518 screens located in
33 states. The Company's screens are located principally in communities where
the Company is the sole or leading exhibitor. For the year ended December 31,
1996, aggregate attendance at the Company's theatres was approximately 74.2
million people.


The Company's theatres are located in the following states:

=== =====



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6


7



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

(ii) Film Licensing

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

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

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

8



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

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

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

(iii) Competition

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

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

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

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

(iv) Seasonality

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



9


10



(v) Restaurants

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

(vi) Regulatory Environment

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

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

(vii) Employees

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

(viii) Other Factors

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

Item 2. Properties

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

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

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

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

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

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

11


12




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

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

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