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 Company's 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 Company’s 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.

1.     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.
 
2.      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.

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 Company’s 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
3 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 10 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.

THEATERS OF ULTRASTAR CINEMAS
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(in thousands)
 
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 Company’s 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 Company's 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 management’s 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 film’s theatrical run, but is typically “settled” within one to two months of a particular film’s 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 Company’s 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.

5.      LEASES

OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases six and seven theater facilities under operating leases for initial terms of 10-20 years until 2028, at December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Each lease provides for monthly payments subject to rent escalations at each renewal date. Each lease offers options to renew for periods ranging from 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 $3,685 and $3,107 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was no percentage rent for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

7.      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 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 Company’s 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.

8.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management believes that it is in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations that apply to the Company, and is not aware of any current, pending or threatened litigation that could materially impact the Company.

All of the Company’s current operations are located in Arizona and California, with the customer base being public attendance. The Company’s main suppliers are the major movie studios, primarily located in the greater Los Angeles area. Any events impacting the region the Company operates in, or impacting the movie studios, who supply movies to the Company, could significantly impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company executed a master license agreement with Cinedigm on December 16, 2005.  The agreement calls for license and installation of digital screens in the theaters, and for the Company to enter into a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer for annual maintenance services.

13.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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 Digiplex’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s obligation as of September 24, 2012.

1. 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.

2. 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 Company’s 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 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
3 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 10 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 Company’s 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 Company's 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 management’s 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 film’s theatrical run, but is typically “settled” within one to two months of a particular film’s 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 Company’s 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.

On September 24, 2012, the landlord settled and relieved the Company for the $2,796 promissory note and payables of $100 through the Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

7.      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. 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 Company’s 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.

8.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management believes that it is in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations that apply to the Company, and is not aware of any current, pending or threatened litigation that could materially impact the Company.

All of the Company’s current operations are located in Arizona and California, with the customer base being public attendance. The Company’s main suppliers are the major movie studios, primarily located in the greater Los Angeles area. Any events impacting the region the Company operates in, or impacting the movie studios, who supply movies to the Company, could significantly impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company executed a master license agreement with Cinedigm on December 16, 2005.  The agreement calls for license and installation of digital screens in the theaters, and for the Company to enter into a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer for annual maintenance services.

12.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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 Digiplex’s 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.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet presents Digital Cinema Destinations Corp's ("Our" or the "Company") financial position as of September 30, 2012, assuming that the acquisition of certain assets, assumption of certain liabilities and operating leases of Theaters of Ultrastar Cinema (“Ultrastar”) had been completed as of September 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations include the results of operations of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2012 and the twelve months results of operations (October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012) of Ultrastar as if the acquisition had been consummated on July 1, 2011.  Also presented are the interim unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations, which include the Company's and Ultrastar’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as if the acquisition had been consummated on July 1, 2011.

These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and factually supportable. Our unaudited pro forma combined financial information and explanatory notes present how our combined financial statements may have appeared had the businesses actually been combined as of the dates noted above. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information shows the impact on the combined balance sheets and the combined statements of operations under acquisition accounting with the Company treated as the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets purchased and liabilities assumed of the acquiree are recorded by the Company, at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

It is anticipated that the acquisition of certain assets, assumption of certain liabilities and assumption of operating leases of Ultrastar will provide financial benefits such as, among other factors, possible expense efficiencies; however, we cannot assure you that such benefits will actually be achieved. These benefits have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information. As required, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes adjustments for events that are directly attributable to the transaction, expected to have a continuing impact and are factually supportable; as such, any planned adjustments affecting the balance sheet, statement of operations, or shares of Class A or Class B common stock outstanding subsequent to the assumed acquisition completion dates are not included. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined businesses had they actually been combined on the dates noted above. However, management believes that the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the combined pro forma information, that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information.

The allocation of the purchase price for the Ultrastar acquisition that is reflected in our pro forma combined financial information is subject to adjustment. The actual purchase price allocation will be recorded based upon final estimated fair values of the assets acquired, certain liabilities assumed and operating leases assumed, which are likely to vary from the purchase price allocations adopted in the pro forma combined financial statements. In addition, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation for the Ultrastar acquisition as additional information becomes available.

PRO FORMA BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 10, 2012, the Company, 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 Asset Purchase Agreements, which were amended on December 13, 2012, to acquire seven movie theaters from Ultrastar (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 JV completed the Ultrastar Acquisitions on four separate dates in December 2012.
 
The Company has determined that JV is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of JV’s operations.  Therefore, the Company is presenting JV’s financial statements on a consolidated basis with a non-controlling interest.
 
The Ultrastar acquisition is reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements as being accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805. Under the acquisition method, the total estimated purchase price of the acquired company is allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Company has made significant estimates and assumptions in determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. These estimates are based on key assumptions of the acquisition. Due to the fact that the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The allocation of purchase consideration is subject to change based on further review of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 and the three months ended September 30, 2012 assume the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, assumes the acquisition had been completed on September 30, 2012.   The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Ultrastar.

Under ASC 805, acquisition costs (such as advisory, legal, valuation or other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred and have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations. The Company expects to incur total acquisition costs of approximately $300.

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 separate historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and of Ultrastar 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 the Company.  The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are as follows:

(a) To record the Ultrastar preliminary fair value of assets acquired for a purchase price of $12.8 million based on estimated fair value.  The purchase price consists of $8.1 million in cash ($8.0 million of which was funded by Start Media) plus 615,203 shares of our Class A common stock issued in December 2012, and 272,419 shares related to post-closing adjustments that will be issued in March 2013. The fair value of all 887,622 shares issued or issuable was determined to be $4,714, based on the trading price of the our Class A common stock on the acquisition dates, less a 10% discount for restrictions on the sale of the stock. The stock issued is the subject of a six month 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 only certain capital leases related to theater equipment.   All other liabilities are being retained by the sellers. The goodwill of $2,574 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 provisional purchase price is based on management’s 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 evaluations of operating leases and capital leases and capital lease obligations.
 
The provisional purchase price for the Ultrastar Acquisitions was allocated as follows:
 
   
Ultrastar

Issuance of Class A common stock
    4,714  
Total purchase price paid in cash
  $ 8,108  
 
(b) To remove the components of Ultrastar not acquired by us.

(c) To remove historical depreciation of $300 and $1,201 for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2012, respectively and record estimated depreciation and amortization of $282 and $1,129 for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As noted above, depreciation and amortization may change based on the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired.

(d) To remove historical interest expense of Ultrastar, as there was no assumption of debt on the acquisition dates.

(e) To record the fair value of 887,622 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued on the acquisition dates as noted in footnote (a), and to record the fair value of a warrant the Company issued to Start Media to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, as further described below.

On December 10, 2012, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to Start Media, which entitles the holder to purchase up to 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock (the “Start Media Warrants”).   The Start Media Warrants were issued in connection with the creation of the joint venture and the Ultrastar Acquisitions, are exercisable at $6.10 per share and have an exercise period of 5 years. The Start Media Warrants have fixed settlement terms, do not require us to mandatorily redeem the warrants at any time, and the warrants have no cashless exercise provisions.  The preliminary fair value of the Start MediaWarrants 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.
 
(f) 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 70% interest in the JV, and accordingly the non-controlling interest is calculated using this percentage.
 
(g) To record amortization of the deferred financing cost that results from the fair value of the warrant of $191 and $48 for the annual and interim periods, respectively.
