NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

1.           THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Digital Cinema Destinations Corp. (“Digiplex”) and together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 29, 2010. Digiplex is the parent of wholly owned subsidiaries, DC Westfield Cinema LLC, DC Cranford Cinema LLC, DC Bloomfield Cinema LLC, DC Cinema Centers LLC, and DC Lisbon Cinema LLC, and intends to acquire additional businesses operating in the theater exhibition industry sector.
 
In September 2012, the Company and Nehst Media Enterprises (“Nehst”) formed a joint venture called Diginext. Under the joint venture agreement, Digiplex and Nehst each have a 50% ownership interest. Nehst will supply Diginext with periodic movie content and the Company has the option to display such content at its locations on an exclusive basis, or may choose to allow non-Digiplex venues to also display the content. The Company pays film rent to Diginext as it would any other movie distributor, and any profits of Diginext, from theatrical revenues as well as net revenues from other ancillary sources will be shared equally by the owners. The Company and Nehst have each made capital contributions of $30 since inception, and the Company is using the equity method to account for its share of net income or loss from the joint venture. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Digiplex’s share of net income was not material. The balance of the Company’s equity investment at September 30, 2013 is $38 and included in other assets.

On December 10, 2012, Digiplex, together with Start Media, LLC (“Start Media”), entered into a joint venture, Start Media/Digiplex, LLC (“JV”), a Delaware limited liability company, to acquire, refit and operate movie theaters.

On July 19, 2013, JV acquired a six screen movie theater in Torrington, Connecticut (“Torrington”). Torrington is operated by Digiplex under a management agreement with JV. See Note 3 and Note 4.
 
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.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company operated 19 theaters having 184 screens (the “Theaters”).  As of September 30, 2012, the Company operated 9 theaters having 85 screens. On October 23, 2013, the Company announced the signing of asset purchase agreements relating to the acquisition of two locations having a total of 15 screens, and a lease for one location having 12 screens.  On November 7, 2013, the Company announced the signing of an asset purchase agreement to acquire one theater having 10 screens located in Londonderry, NH. The Company also announced an agreement with the landlord of the Williamsport, PA location to add 2 screens to the existing 9-screen theater, resulting in an 11-screen theater. Upon the closing of these transactions, the Company will operate 23 locations having 223 screens.  See Note 17.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC”) on September 18, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  The operating results for the interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending June 30, 2014.

The Company has incurred net losses since inception. The Company also has contractual obligations related to its debt as of September 30, 2013 and beyond. The Company may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s cash position at September 30, 2013, expected cash flows from operations, and the Company’s October 2013 issuance of Class A common stock for net proceeds of $5,200, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its obligations through September 30, 2014. Failure to generate additional revenues, raise additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Digiplex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the JV, which is a VIE. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to film rent expense settlements, depreciation and amortization, impairments, income taxes and assumptions used in connection with acquisition accounting. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues are generated principally through admissions on feature film displays and concessions sales, with proceeds received in cash or credit card at the 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 revenue consists of theater rentals for parties, camps, civic groups and other activities, advertising revenue under our advertising contract and our portion of game income, ATM fees and internet ticketing fees. Rental revenue is recognized at the time of the rental. Advertising revenue is recorded based on an expected per-patron amount and the number of patrons over the contract period as the advertising is being delivered on screen. Other revenue items are recognized as earned in the period. In addition to traditional feature films, the Company also displays concerts, sporting events, children’s programming and other non-traditional content on its screens (such content referred to herein as “alternative content”). Revenue from alternative content programming also consists of admissions and concession sales. The Company also sells theater admissions in advance of the applicable event, and sells gift cards for patrons’ future use. The Company defers the revenue from such sales until considered redeemed. The Company estimates the gift card breakage rate based on historical redemption patterns. Unredeemed gift cards are recognized as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical attendance, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations, in evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity is evaluated.

Rewards Club Program

In August 2013, the Digiplex Rewards Club was implemented, whereby members earn credits for each dollar spent at one of the Company's theaters and earn concession or ticket awards based on the number of credits accumulated. Because the Company believes that the value of the awards granted is insignificant in relation to the value of the transactions necessary to earn the award, the Company records the estimated incremental cost of providing awards at the time the awards are earned. The Company’s incremental costs of these awards are not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The awards issued under the Digiplex Rewards Club expire 90 days after issuance.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company held substantially all of its cash in checking accounts with major financial institutions, and had cash on hand at the Theaters in the normal course of business.
  
Accounts receivable
 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reports accounts receivable net of any allowance for doubtful accounts to represent management’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews collectability of accounts receivable based on the aging of the accounts and historical collection trends. When the Company ultimately concludes a receivable is uncollectible, the balance is written off. The Company has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts is not necessary at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist of food and beverage concession products and related supplies. The Company states inventories on the basis of the first-in, first-out method, stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently.
 
The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method, over the following estimated useful lives:
 
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of lease term or estimated asset life
Building and improvements
17 years
Digital systems and related equipment
10 years
Equipment and computer software
3 - 5 years

Goodwill
 
The carrying amount of goodwill at both September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $3,156. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as specific events or circumstances dictate. Under ASC Subtopic 350-20, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Goodwill, the Company has identified its reporting units to be the designated market areas in which the Company conducts its theater operations. The Company determines fair value by using an enterprise valuation methodology weighing the income approach and market approach by applying multiples to cash flow estimates less any net indebtedness, which the Company believes is an appropriate method to determine fair value. There is considerable management judgment with respect to future cash flow estimates and appropriate multiples and discount rates to be used in determining fair value and such management estimates fall under Level 3 within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

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

    $ -     $ -     $ 296     $ 296  
 
Earn-out from acquisitions is a liability to the seller of the Lisbon theater and is based upon meeting certain financial performance targets. Estimates of the fair values of the earn-outs were estimated by a forecast of theater level cash flow, as defined by the asset purchase agreement. That measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following summarized changes in the earn-outs during the three months ended September 30, 2013:

 
 
Total
 
 Balance as of June 30, 2013
  $ 296  
 Change in fair value of earnout liability for Lisbon acquisition
    59  
 Balance as of September 30, 2013
  $ 355  
 
Key assumptions underlying the initial Lisbon earn-out estimate include a discount rate of 12.5 percent and that Lisbon will achieve its forecasted financial performance target in the one year earn-out period ended September 28, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, the Company increased the Lisbon earn-out from $296 to $355 based on actual results compared to the threshold in the asset purchase agreement, and recognized a fair value change of $59 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and note payable approximate their fair values, due to their short term nature.
 
Deferred Rent Expense
 
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis, after considering the effect of rent escalation provisions resulting in a level monthly rent expense for each lease over its term.
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
Deferred financing costs primarily consist of unamortized debt issuance costs for the note payable, unamortized financing costs related to the formation of JV, and the fair value of warrants issued to Start Media, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective terms. The straight-line basis is not materially different from the effective interest method.

Film Rent Expense
 
The Company estimates film rent expense and related film rent payable based on 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 is adjusted to the final film settlement.

The film rent expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was reduced by virtual print fees (“VPFs”) of $290 and $244 respectively, under a master license agreement exhibitor-buyer arrangement with a third party vendor. VPFs represent a reduction in film rent paid to film distributors. Pursuant to this master license agreement, the Company will purchase and own digital projection equipment and the third party vendor, through its agreements with film distributors, will collect and remit VPFs to the Company, net of a 10% administrative fee. VPFs are generated based on initial display of titles on the digital projection equipment.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense to employees based on the fair value of the award at the grant date with expense recognized over the service period, or vesting period, using the straight-line recognition method of awards subject to graded vesting.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of warrants. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is determined by the stock fair market value on the award date. The Company recognizes an estimate for forfeitures of unvested awards. These estimates are adjusted as actual forfeitures differ from the estimate.
 
The Company also issues common stock to non-employees in exchange for services. The Company measures and records stock-based compensation at fair value at the earlier of the date the performance commitment is reached or when the performance is complete. The expense recognized is based on the closing stock price of the Company’s stock issued.
 
Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal period ended September 30, 2012 financial statements to conform to the current fiscal period ended September 30, 2013 presentation.
 
Segments
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company managed its business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations. All Company operations are located in the United States.
 
3.            ACQUISITION

On July 19, 2013, JV acquired a six screen movie theater in Torrington, Connecticut. The provisional purchase price totals $612 (assets acquired of $790, less an assumed promissory note of $178), consisting of $221 in cash, and 73,770 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $391, (based on the trading price of $5.89 on the closing date, less a ten percent discount for trading restrictions placed on the stock). Accordingly, the purchase price was provisionally allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The provisional 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 evaluation of the operating lease. The Company incurred approximately $4 in acquisition costs which was expensed and included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

4.            JOINT VENTURE

As of June 30, 2013, Digiplex contributed 887,623 shares of Class A Common Stock to the JV, and Start Media contributed $10,000 in cash. In July 2013, Start Media contributed $300 in cash and Digiplex contributed 73,770 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $391, to fund the Torrington acquisition, and both Start Media’s and Digiplex’s interest in the JV was adjusted accordingly.  JV is managed by a four person board of managers, two of whom Digiplex designates and two of whom are designated by Start Media. Majority vote is required for JV actions. At September 30, 2013, Digiplex and Start Media owned 33% and 67% of the equity of JV, respectively.
 
JV has a first right of refusal to acquire any theaters which the Company wishes to acquire, except for any theaters within a ten mile radius of existing Digiplex owned theaters. If JV does not exercise its right of first refusal, the Company has the right to make the acquisition independently. The right of first refusal does not apply to or restrict the Company’s ability to manage theaters owned by unaffiliated third-parties.

Digiplex has entered into agreements with JV (the “Management Agreements") to manage the theaters it acquires and receives 5% of the total revenue of the JV theaters’ operations annually as management fees.

Management fees earned by Digiplex for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $286 and $0, respectively.  JV records these fees as general and administrative expenses, and Digiplex records an offset to general and administrative expenses. These fees are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Under the Management Agreements, Digiplex has full day-to-day authority to operate the theaters owned by JV including: staffing, banking, content selection, vendor selection and all purchasing decisions. Digiplex is required to submit an annual operating budget to JV for each fiscal year ending June 30 for approval by the JV board of managers. In the event of any disagreements regarding the budget, there are dispute resolution procedures contained in the operating agreement (“JV Operating Agreement”).
 
Digiplex’s and Start Media’s respective percentage ownerships in JV will depend upon their respective aggregate capital contributions, in each case denominated in units of membership interests. Start Media has committed to contribute up to $20,000 to JV, inclusive of approximately $10,500 of capital contributions, of which $10,300 has been funded, through September 30, 2013, for theater acquisitions and budgeted expenses. Start Media will receive additional membership units in consideration for capital contributions in excess of its initial contribution as additional capital is required, based on the fair market value of JV determined under a formula set forth in the JV Operating Agreement (the “Formula”). Digiplex has a right, but not the obligation, to contribute additional capital to JV, which under certain circumstances may be made by the issuance and delivery of shares of Digiplex’s Class A common stock to sellers of theaters acquired by JV, and thereby acquire additional membership units based on the Formula, provided that our percentage interest does not exceed 50% as the result of our acquisition of additional units.

Distributions of JV cash flow from operations will be made to the members at such time as determined by the JV board of managers. Start Media is entitled to a 6% preferred return on its capital contributions made to date, after which Digiplex receives a 6% preferred return on its capital contributions. Thereafter, distributions of cash flow from operations will be made pro rata in accordance with the respective membership units of the members. In the case of liquidating distributions, Start Media will receive a 6% preferred return on and the return of its capital contributions prior to the Company’s receipt of a 6% preferred return on and the return of the Company’s capital contributions, with further distributions pro rata to the respective membership units of the members.
 
Digiplex and Start Media have agreed not to transfer their membership interests, except for certain permitted transfers for a three-year period and any subsequent transfers of membership interests are subject to the right of JV and the other member to acquire the interests on such terms as a third party is willing to do so. In the event the Company experiences a change in control, as defined in the JV Operating Agreement, Start Media has a right to require the Company to acquire its membership interest in JV.
 
Digiplex is considered the primary beneficiary of the JV because it controls the operation of each JV owned theater on a day to day basis in all material respects, including: the selection of content, all staffing decisions, all cash management and paying vendors, financial reporting, obtaining all necessary permits, insurances, and to plan and perform capital improvements, to the extent such expenditures do not exceed certain levels as specified in the Management Agreements. Digiplex is also the guarantor of six of the ten leases entered into with third party landlords in the JV-owned theaters, and is using its brand name to promote the theaters. Because JV is a VIE, and Digiplex is deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company has consolidated the operations of JV.

Net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest on the statement of operations represents the portion of net loss attributable to the economic and legal interest in JV held by Start Media.

Rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases was $1,596 and $508 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Certain of the Company’s Theater leases require the payment of percentage rent if certain revenue targets are exceeded. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $23 and $15, respectively, of percentage rent expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

CAPITAL LEASES

The Company leases certain theater equipment under capital leases that expire to 2018, with imputed interest rates of 8.0% per annum. Repayment of the capital lease obligation is based on a percentage of revenue generated from the usage of the underlying theater equipment. The assets are being amortized over the shorter of their lease terms or their estimated useful lives. The applicable amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Amortization of assets under capital leases during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $21 and $0, respectively.

The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all relevant laws and regulations, and is not aware of any current, pending or threatened litigation that could materially impact the Company.
 
The Company has entered into employment contracts, to which we refer to as the “employment contracts”, with four of its current executive officers. Under the employment contracts, each executive officer is entitled to severance payments in connection with the termination of the executive officer’s employment by the Company “without cause”, by the executive officer for “good reason”, or as a result of a “change in control” of the Company (as such terms are defined in the employment contracts). Pursuant to the employment contracts, the maximum amount of payments and benefits in the aggregate, if such executives were terminated (in the event of a change of control) would be approximately $1,418.
 
A. Dale Mayo, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), is entitled to additional compensation based on the amount of revenues the Company generates, as specified in his employment contract. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $75 and $60 of compensation expense under this arrangement.
 
All of the Company’s operations as of September 30, 2013, are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Arizona and Ohio, 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 regions 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.

11.           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Capital Stock
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s authorized capital stock consisted of:
 
• 20 million shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share;
 
• 900,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share;
 
• 10 million shares preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share;


Of the authorized shares of Class A common stock, 5,642,208 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2013. Of the authorized shares of Class B common stock, 849,000 shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2013, all of which are held by the Company’s CEO. In August 2013, 16,000 shares of Class B common stock previously outstanding automatically converted into 16,000 shares of Class A common stock on transfer by the holder (as bona fide gifts) and cannot be reissued. Of the authorized shares of preferred stock, 6 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2013.  The material terms and provisions of the Company’s capital stock are described below.
 
Common Stock
 
The Class A and the Class B common stock of the Company are identical in all respects, except for voting rights and except that each share of Class B common stock is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. Each holder of Class A common stock will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Class A common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Each holder of Class B common stock will be entitled to ten votes for each outstanding share of Class B common stock owned by that stockholder on every matter submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Except as required by law, the Class A and the Class B common stock will vote together on all matters. Upon any transfer of Class B common stock by the Company’s CEO, such transferred shares will be converted to Class A shares and the converted Class B shares shall be retired and are not available for reissuance. Subject to the dividend rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to any dividend declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this purpose, and, subject to the liquidation preferences of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, all the Company’s remaining assets available for distribution to the stockholders in the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. No dividend can be declared on the Class A or Class B common stock unless at the same time an equal dividend is paid on each share of Class B or Class A common stock, as the case may be. Dividends paid in shares of common stock must be paid, with respect to a particular class of common stock, in shares of that class. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive right to become subscribers or purchasers of additional shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are, when issued and paid for, fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Preferred Stock
 
The Company’s certificate of incorporation allows the Company to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock having rights senior to those of the common stock. The Company’s board of directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these series. The issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock or could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of decreasing the market price of the Class A common stock.

Dividends
 
No dividends were declared on the Company’s common stock during the period and management does not anticipate doing so. The Company pays a quarterly dividend on its Series B preferred stock in an amount equal to 4.5% per annum.
 
Stock-Based Compensation and Expenses
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company issued restricted stock awards totaling 107,000 shares of its Class A common stock to employees, which vests over a period of three years, and a non-employee that vests when performance was complete.
 
The total stock-based compensation was $239 and $43 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 
The following summarizes the activity of the unvested share awards for the three months ended September 30, 2013:

 Unvested balance at June 30, 2013
    91,700  
 Issuance of awards
    107,000  
 Vesting of awards
    (15,500 )
 Unvested balance at September 30, 2013
    183,200  
 
The weighted average remaining vesting period as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 is 1.58 years for both periods. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1,019 of remaining expense associated with unvested share awards.
 
12.           NOTES PAYABLE
 
On September 28, 2012, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Northlight Trust I for $10,000 due September 28, 2017, at an interest rate equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 10.50% per annum, with a 2.5% floor (the “Northlight loan”). The Company expects the 2.5% floor to be applicable due to the current LIBOR rates. During the first 18 months from the closing date, all interest in excess of 10.00% per annum that would otherwise be paid in cash during the 18-month period may, at the Company’s option, may be paid in kind (“PIK interest”), and thereafter all interest due is payable in cash. PIK interest, if any, will be added to the principal balance of the loan. The Company primarily used the net proceeds from the Northlight loan to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Lisbon, pay the obligation to a vendor for digital systems, pay fees and expenses associated with the Northlight loan and the Lisbon acquisition, and to provide working capital. Interest and principal payments under the terms of the Northlight loan commenced on October 31, 2012. The Northlight loan is collateralized by, among other things, the Company’s membership interest in each of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and all of the operating subsidiaries’ assets, including the theater leases, and requires meeting certain financial covenant ratios. As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $20 and $0 of amortization of deferred financing costs were included in interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

13.           INCOME TAXES
 
The Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $9 and $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company's tax provision for all periods had an unusual relationship to pretax loss mainly because of the existence of a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance at the beginning of each period. This circumstance generally results in a zero net tax provision since the income tax expense or benefit that would otherwise be recognized is offset by the change to the valuation allowance. However, tax expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 included the accrual of non-cash tax expense of approximately $6 and $9, respectively of changes in the valuation allowance in connection with the tax amortization of our indefinite-lived intangible assets that was not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed a “naked credit”). The Company expects the naked credit to result in approximately $28 of additional non-cash income tax expense over the remainder of the year ending June 30, 2014.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
 
The Company calculates income tax expense based upon an annual effective tax rate forecast, including estimates and assumptions that could change during the year. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the differences between the effective tax rate of (0.9)% and (2.6)%, respectively, and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally resulted from state and local taxes, graduated federal tax rate reductions, non-deductible expenses and changes to the valuation allowance.

The total rent expense under operating leases with a landlord that owns the Rialto and Cranford premises and owns shares of the Company’s Class A common stock was $103 and $90 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
15.           NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
 
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock at any time, at the option of the holder of the Class B common stock.
 
The following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per share of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company (in millions, except share and per share data):

(1) Owned  by JV.
     
(2) Includes one IMAX screen with approximately 212 seats.

On December 10, 2012, we entered into a joint venture (“JV”) with Start Media, LLC (“Start Media”), to acquire, refit and operate movie theaters. On December 21, 2012, wholly owned subsidiaries of JV completed the acquisition of seven movie theaters (six of which are located in southern California and one of which is near Phoenix, Arizona) (collectively, the “Ultrastar Acquisitions”) with an aggregate of 74 fully digital screens from seven sellers affiliated with one another (collectively the “Ultrastar Sellers”). These seven theaters have annual attendance of over 2.0 million patrons.

The seven theaters acquired from the Ultrastar Sellers are operated by us pursuant to management agreements (the “Management Agreements”) whereby we have full day to day responsibility for all aspects of theater operations, and we receive a fee equal to 5% of the gross revenues of these theaters.
 
On July 19, 2013, JV acquired a six screen movie theater in Torrington, Connecticut.  The theater was equipped with digital projection systems before JV began operating the theater.  The theater is operated by us, under Management Agreements with JV, and included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 

At September 30, 2013, Digiplex and Start Media owned 33% and 67% of the equity of JV, respectively.
Our plan to expand our business is based on our business strategy, centered on our slogan “cinema reinvented,” and includes:
 
Acquisitions of existing historically cash flow positive theaters in free zones either directly by Digiplex or through our JV. We intend to selectively pursue multi-screen theater acquisition opportunities that meet our strategic and financial criteria. Our philosophy is to “buy and improve” existing facilities rather than “find and build” new theaters. We believe this approach provides more predictability, speed of execution and lower risk.
 
 
22

 
Creation of an all-digital theater circuit utilizing our senior management team’s extensive experience in digital cinema and related technologies, alternative programming and movie selection. We will convert the theaters we acquire to digital projection platforms (if not already converted) with an appropriate mix of RealD™ 3D auditoriums in each theater complex. Seven of our locations also offer D-Box™ motion seating available for certain movies.
 
Offering our customers a program of popular movies and alternative content such as sports, concerts, opera, ballet and video games to increase seat utilization and concession sales during off peak and some peak periods.
 
Deployment of state of the art integrated software systems for back office accounting and camera surveillance systems for theater management which enable us to manage our business efficiently and to provide maximum scheduling flexibility while reducing operational costs.
 
Active marketing of the Digiplex brand, and our joint venture, DigiNext, to release specialty movie content, and other programs to consumers using primarily new media tools such as social media, website design and regular electronic communications to our targeted audience.

Enhancing our alternative content programs with themed costuming for our theater personnel, food packages, scripted introductions by theater managers, and the use of selected staff members called “ambassadors” to employ various social media tools before, during and after each event to promote the event and the Digiplex brand.

Creation of strategic relationships to acquire exclusive distribution rights to content which (i) can play at both our own theaters, and at additional non-competing theaters, and (ii) can be the source of additional revenues from non-theatrical revenue streams (such as DVD sales, digital downloads, cable TV, etc.).
 
Other than the funds resulting from our capital raised to date, there can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to secure financing necessary to implement our business strategy, including to acquire additional theaters or to renovate and digitalize the theaters we do acquire.

We manage our business under one reportable segment: theater exhibition operations.

Components of Operating Results
  
Revenues
 
We generate revenues primarily from admissions and concession sales, with additional revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as theater rentals and private parties. Our advertising agreement with National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”) has assisted us in expanding our offerings to domestic advertisers and will be broadening ancillary revenue sources, such as digital video monitor advertising and third party branding. Our alternative content agreements with NCM and others has assisted us in expanding our alternative content offerings, such as live and pre-recorded concert events, opera, ballet, sports programs, and other cultural events. In addition to NCM, we select, market and exhibit alternative content from a variety of other sources, including Emerging Pictures, Cinedigm Corp., Screenvision, DigiNext, and others as they offer their programs to us. Our 19 theaters are located in “free zones,” or areas that permit us to acquire movies from any distributor. As such, we display all of the leading movies and can tailor our offerings to each of our markets.
 
 
23

 
Our revenues are affected by changes in attendance and concession revenues per patron. Attendance is primarily affected by the quality and quantity of films released by motion picture studios. Our revenues are seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, motion picture studios release the most marketable motion pictures during the summer and holiday seasons. The unexpected emergence or continuance of a “hit” film during other periods can alter the traditional pattern. The timing of movie releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for the next or any other fiscal quarter. The seasonality of motion picture exhibition, however, has become less pronounced as motion picture studios are releasing motion pictures somewhat more evenly throughout the year. Our operations may be impacted by the effects of rising costs of our concession items, wages, energy and other operating costs. We would generally expect to offset those increased costs with higher costs for admission and concessions.
 
Expenses
 
Film rent expenses are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenues. Film rent expense as a percentage of revenues is generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster films are released. Film rent expense can also vary based on the length of a film’s run and are generally negotiated on a film-by-film and theater-by-theater basis. Film rent expense is higher for mainstream movies produced by the Hollywood studios, and lower for art and independent product. Film rent expense is reduced by virtual print fees (“VPFs”) that we record from motion picture distributors under an exhibitor-buyer agreement that entitles us to payments for the display of digital movies.

Cost of concessions is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenues. We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates. Because we purchase certain concession items, such as fountain drinks and popcorn, in bulk and not pre-packaged for individual servings, we are able to improve our margins by negotiating volume discounts.
 
Salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e., the minimum staffing costs to operate a theater facility during non-peak periods) and a variable component in relation to revenues as theater staffing is adjusted to respond to changes in attendance.
 
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theater level as most of our facility operating leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Our leases are also subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved.

Utilities and other expenses include certain costs that have both fixed and variable components such as utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs and maintenance, and security services.
 
Significant Events and Outlook
 
 
JV agreement and JV Acquisitions. As noted in Overview, in December 2012 we entered into a joint venture relationship with Start Media and the JV acquired 7 theaters from the Ultrastar Sellers in California and Arizona. The total purchase price for the Ultrastar Acquisitions was $13,131; with $8,108 in cash, of which $8,000 was provided by Start Media, 887,623 shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $4,714 provided by us, and the assumption of a capital equipment lease. Both the cash and stock elements constitute our respective initial capital contributions to the JV. Certain operating leases for the theater facilities, and certain capital leases and service contracts related to theater equipment were assumed. No other liabilities were assumed from the Ultrastar Sellers. On January 1 and February 1, 2013, JV entered into operating leases for a three screen theater in Sparta, NJ and a 16 screen theater in Solon, Ohio, respectively, and in July 2013 JV acquired one theater in Torrington, Connecticut having six screens. We expect to acquire other theaters through the JV, although this cannot be assured.
 
 
24

 
 
Management Agreements. We have entered into agreements (the “Management Agreements”) to manage the theaters JV acquires, and we receive 5% of the total revenue of the theaters in each year as management fees in consideration for these management services. Under the Management Agreements, we have full day-to-day authority to operate the theaters owned by JV including: staffing, banking, content selection, vendor selection and all purchasing decisions. We are required to submit an annual operating budget to JV for each fiscal year ending June 30 for approval by the JV board of managers (which is comprised of four seats, two of which are controlled by us, and two by Start Media). In the event of any disagreements regarding the budget, there are dispute resolution procedures contained in the JV operating agreement.

 
Northlight Term Loan. On September 28, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement for $10,000 with Northlight Trust I (“Northlight”). The Northlight loan was used to fund our acquisition of the Lisbon theater for $6,014, pay for previously installed digital systems of $3,334, pay fees associated with the Northlight loan and the Lisbon acquisition, and to provide working capital.
 
 
Shelf Registration. In May 2013, we filed a $10,500 registration statement (the maximum amount is subject to adjustment), which has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and permits the issuance of a broad range of securities. Any proceeds can be used for a variety of items, including acquisitions, debt repayment and general corporate purposes. In October 2013, we sold 1.1 million shares of our Class A Common Stock to several investors under the registration statement and received net proceeds of approximately $5,200.

 
Digital Projector Installation. At September 30, 2013, all of our 184 screens were equipped with digital projectors and related hardware and software. 120 of the 184 systems had been installed before our acquisition of the theaters, and the remaining 64 systems were installed under our ownership, at a total cost of approximately $6,400. We earn VPFs, described under Components of Operating Results, on 91 systems and do not earn VPFs on 93 digital systems, as these systems are owned by an unrelated digital cinema integrator. However, we have full use of these systems under a master license agreement, and we have the option to purchase these systems at fair market value after the systems have been in use for a ten-year period.
 
 
Alternative Content Program Launch. Along with the continued display of traditional feature movies, a cornerstone of our business strategy is to exhibit opera, ballet, concerts, and sporting events, children’s programming and other forms of alternative content in our theaters. Using our 184 digital systems (72 of which are equipped to show 3D events), we can show live and pre-recorded 2D and 3D events at off-peak times to increase the utilization of our theaters. Going forward we expect at least 40% of any new screens to be 3D-enabled.
 
 
Acquisition Strategy. We plan to acquire existing movie theaters in free zones over the next 12 months and beyond. We generally seek to pay a multiple of 4.5 times to 6.0 times Theater Level Cash Flow (“TLCF”) for theaters we acquire. TLCF is calculated as revenues minus theater operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items).

TLCF is a non-GAAP financial measure. TLCF is a common financial metric in the theater industry, used to gauge profitability at the theater level, before the effect of depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, deferred rent, interest, taxes or other income and expense items. While TLCF is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe that this measure is useful in assessing our cash flow and working capital requirements. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. See page 30-32 for TLCF reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We use adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure because we find it useful to understand and evaluate our results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, other non-cash items, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to our consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
 
At September 30, 2013, we operated 19 theaters located in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, California, Arizona and Ohio consisting of 184 screens. We operated eight theaters with 73 screens for the entire three month period ended September 30, 2012. Therefore, many comparisons of the 2013 and 2012 periods will be skewed accordingly.  Our theaters had over 1,077,000 and 416,000 attendees for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (for the portions of the periods we operated them). According to Box Office Mojo, the overall North American box office results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 had increased by approximately 6.4% from the comparable 2012 period.
 
Admissions and Concessions. Our admissions and concessions revenues increased by 164%, due to our increased screen count in the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012.  In addition, our emphasis on alternative content programming has resulted in incremental admissions and concessions revenue. Our average ticket and concession price increases was due to our entry into new markets with higher prices generally, our continued focus on alternative programming which generally has higher admission pricing, and new concession menu offerings.
 
Other Revenues. Other revenues consist of advertising revenues, theater rentals for parties, festivals, camps, ATM and game machine fees and other activities. Advertising revenue was $232 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 period compared to $107 in the 2012 period.
 
Film Rent Expense. Film rent expense is a variable cost that fluctuates with box office revenues. We generally expect film rent expense (excluding VPF’s) to range from 50% to 60% of admissions revenues, with art and independent titles at the lower end of the range and mainstream movie titles at the middle to high end of the range. Film rent expense as a percentage of box office revenues was 49% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 period as compared to 48% of box revenues in 2012.  Our increased film rent expense was primarily because 93 systems are owned by a third party integrator for which we receive no VPFs. Included as a reduction of film rent expense in the 2013 period on the systems we own is $290 of VPFs that we receive from a third party vendor, associated with digital titles that we play from the studios, as compared to $244 in 2012. Excluding VPFs, film rent expense would have been 53% and 56% of admissions revenues in the 2013 and 2012 periods, respectively. The decrease was largely due to the mix of content shown versus last year.

Cost of Concessions. At 18% and 14% of our concessions revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we believe our cost of concessions is close to the industry average of 15% to 20%. Our concession costs as a percentage of concessions revenue can fluctuate based on the mixture of concession products sold and changes in our supply pricing. In the current fiscal period, the cost of product promotions, giveaways, and concession supplies has increased over the prior period.
 
Salaries and Wages. Our theater employees are mostly part-time hourly employees, supervised by one or more full-time managers at each location. Our payroll expenses contain a fixed component but are also variable and will fluctuate, being generally higher during the peak summer and holiday periods, and also during alternative content events, and lower at other times. The increase from the 2012 period is due to our operation of a larger number of theaters during the three months ended September 30, 2013 versus 2012. However, as a percentage of revenue, the amounts are consistent from period to period.
 
Facility Lease Expense. Each of our facilities is operated under operating leases that contain renewal options upon expiration. The leases contain provisions that increase rents in certain amounts and at certain times during the initial term, and the leases for certain theaters require percentage rent to be paid upon the achievement of certain revenue targets. We incurred $23 in percentage rent expense as a result of these lease provisions during the three months ended September 30, 2013, and $15 in the 2012 period. The increase from the 2012 period is due to our operation of more theaters in the 2013 period. However, as a percentage of revenue, the amounts are consistent from period to period.
 
Utilities and Other. Utilities and other expenses consist of utility charges, real estate taxes incurred pursuant to the operating leases for our theaters, and various other costs of operating the theaters. We expect these costs, which are largely fixed in nature, to remain relatively constant for the theaters, with growth in these expenses as we acquire more theaters. The increase in these expenses is due to the operation of more screens during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 2012. As a percentage of revenue, the increase is due to higher utility charges at our more recently acquired theaters, particularly in California.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of salaries and wages for our corporate staff, legal, accounting and professional fees associated including those associated with our acquisition of theaters, marketing, and information technology related expenses. The increase in these expenses is due to additional personnel hired to manage our actual and planned growth, along with professional fees for auditing, legal, marketing and information technology. We expect these costs to decrease as a percentage of revenue as we grow and realize increased economies of scale, as was evidenced by the decline from 17 percent of revenue last year, to 11 percent this year. Included in general and administrative expenses is stock compensation expense of $239 and $43  in the 2013 and 2012 periods, respectively, related to issuance of Class A common stock to employees and non-employees for services rendered. We expect to grant additional stock-based awards in the future under our 2012 stock option and incentive plan that was adopted in conjunction with our IPO. Awards may consist of stock options or restricted stock, with or without vesting periods. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we had 17 and 11 employees, respectively, on our corporate staff, including our chief executive officer and other officers and staff to support our business development, technology, accounting, and marketing activities.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company increased the Lisbon earn-out from $296 to $355 based on actual results compared to the threshold in the asset purchase agreement, and recognized a fair value change of $59 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Depreciation and Amortization. The increase from 2012 is due to our increased asset base, resulting from our acquisitions and subsequent investments in our theaters, including the addition of assets such as digital projection equipment, and other capital improvements we made. We record depreciation and amortization for property and equipment and intangible assets over the estimated useful life of each asset class on a straight line basis. Our largest fixed asset is our digital projection equipment, which had a gross cost of approximately $6,400 as of September 30, 2013 and is being depreciated over a 10-year estimated useful life. We expect digital projection equipment to be a large component of our asset base going forward following any acquisitions that we may consummate, along with other theater equipment and leasehold improvements.
 
 
28

 
Interest Expense. The increase in interest expense is due to the Northlight loan, which was outstanding for the entire three months ended September 30, 2013 and only for two days in the 2012 period.

Operating Loss. The increased operating loss was primarily attributable to the higher general and administrative and depreciation and amortization costs, associated with the increased asset base and larger corporate infrastructure which will support our future growth.
 
Impact of Inflation.  We believe that our results of operations are not materially impacted by the recent moderate changes in the inflation rate.  Inflation and changing prices did not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Income Taxes.  For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we had tax expense of $9 and $17, respectively. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On September 20, 2012, we sold 6 shares of Series B preferred stock and raised $450.
 
On September 28, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement for $10,000 with Northlight.  The Northlight loan was used to fund our acquisition of the Lisbon theater for $6,014, pay for previously installed digital systems of $3,334, pay fees associated with the Northlight loan and the Lisbon acquisition, and to provide working capital.

On December 10, 2012, we, together with Start Media, entered into a joint venture to acquire, refit and operate movie theaters.  Start Media has committed to contribute up to $20,000 to JV, including approximately $10,500 contributed through September 30, 2013, of which $10,300 has been funded. In December 2012, JV acquired seven movie theaters (nine of which are located in southern California and one of which is near Phoenix, Arizona) with an aggregate of 74 fully digital screens, for an aggregate purchase price of $13,131, consisting of $8,108 in cash, of which $8,000 was funded by Start Media, plus 887,623 shares of our Class A common stock with a fair value of $4,714 issued, and the assumption of a capital lease for theater equipment. In January and May 2013, Start Media contributed an additional $1,306 and $694 in cash, respectively, to fund anticipated capital expenditures for the JV theaters. In July 2013, Start Media contributed $300 to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Torrington theater.

On May 1, 2013, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was later declared effective.  The shelf registration statement, with a maximum aggregate offering of approximately $10,500, allows for the future issuance of Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units.  We may use any proceeds from the shelf offering for various reasons including general corporate purposes, debt repayment, capital expenditures, or future theater acquisitions. In October 2013 we sold 1.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock to several investors for $5.00 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $5,200.

We expect our primary uses of cash to be for additional theater acquisitions, operating expenses, capital expenditures (for digital projection equipment and otherwise), corporate operations, possible debt service and/or payments with respect to capital leases that we may incur in the future. We expect our principal sources of liquidity to be from cash generated from operations, cash on hand, and anticipated proceeds from equity or debt issuances.

 Financing activities
    (150 )     9,251  
 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
  $ (2,270 )   $ (588 )
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled approximately ($1,777) and ($3,737) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. While our net loss was impacted by general and administrative costs which grew in 2013 due to the addition of theaters and the growth of our corporate infrastructure, a payment to our primary vendor of digital systems of $3,334 in the 2012 period was the primary cause of the difference in operating cash from 2013 to 2012.

Investing Activities
 
Our capital requirements have arisen principally in connection with our acquisitions of theaters, upgrading our theater facilities post-acquisition and replacing equipment. Cash used in investing activities totaled ($343) and ($6,102) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease from 2012 is due to the cash purchase price for the Lisbon theater acquired in 2012, totaling $6,014.   In the 2013 period, the amount represents the cash purchase price of the Torrington theater. We may also incur significant capital outlays in connection with other acquisitions that we may consummate in the next 12 months, including digital projection equipment and other theater upgrades.  We intend to continue to grow our theater circuit either directly by us or through our JV through selective expansion and acquisitions.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled ($150) and $9,251 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The 2013 decrease to net cash provided by financing activities was due mainly to the proceeds of the Northlight loan of $10,000, proceeds from issuance of preferred stock of $450, offset in part by the payment of a note to the seller of Cinema Centers for $832 and payment of financing costs related to the Northlight loan in 2012. We expect to issue equity and debt instruments in the future in connection with our business plan.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Theater Level Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA
 
TLCF is a common financial metric in the theater industry, used to gauge profitability at the theater level, before the effect of depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes or other income and expense items. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental liquidity measure because we find it useful to understand and evaluate our results excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to our consideration of the impacts of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. We believe that TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors for these purposes as well.
 
TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, GAAP measures such as net cash provided by operating activities. Because these measures exclude depreciation and amortization and they do not reflect any cash requirements for the replacement of the assets being depreciated and amortized, which assets will often have to be replaced in the future. Further, because these metrics do not reflect the impact of income taxes, cash dividends, capital expenditures and other cash commitments from time to time as described in more detail elsewhere in this report, they do not represent how much discretionary cash we have available for other purposes. Nonetheless, TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA are key measures used by us. We also evaluate TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA because it is clear that movements in these measures impact our ability to attract financing. TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

_________
 
(1)   
TLCF is intended to be a measure of theater profitability. Therefore, our corporate general and administrative expenses have been excluded.
 
(2)   
Represents the fair value of shares of Class A common stock and restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employees for services rendered. As these are non-cash charges, we believe that it is appropriate to show Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item. The increase from the prior year is due to the magnitude of the Lisbon and Ultrastar acquisitions.
 
 
31

 
(3)   
Primarily represents professional fees incurred in connection with specific acquisitions. Since the amounts will vary depending on the size and quantity of any acquisition, and are not part of ongoing operations of our theaters, we believe that it is appropriate to exclude these items from Adjusted EBITDA.
   
 (4)   
To add back management fees to Digiplex from JV.
   
(5)   
Represents non-cash deferred rent expense which is included in facility lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As these are non-cash charges, we believe it is appropriate to show TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item.
 
 Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported consolidated financial results, include the following:
 
Revenue and Film Rent Expense Recognition
 
Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising, theater rentals and parties. Sales are made either in cash or in the form of credit cards, which settle in cash within three days. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen. Theater rentals and party revenue are recognized at the time of the event. We record proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognize admissions and concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. We recognize unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience that the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, we consider the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity.
 
Film rent expenses are accrued based on the applicable admissions and either mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are generally established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time.

Under our Exhibitor-Buyer Master License Agreement, we earn VPFs fees from the movie studios when a new digital title is shown on our screens. We may receive virtual print fees for up to the total costs of our digital systems, less a base amount of $9 thousand per system, but including any financing costs we may incur, over a maximum period of ten years from the date of our installations. We are eligible to receive these payments for approximately ten years, or until the amount of cumulative VPFs is equal to our costs. VPFs are treated as a reduction of film rent expense in our statements of operations. Below is a summary of the costs we incurred relating to the purchase of our digital projection systems to date less the base amount, the VPFs we have earned, and the administrative fees incurred (which add to the amounts we can receive for virtual print fees). We have incurred financing costs in connection with the acquisition of these systems, which is shown below.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Theater property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives, we have relied upon our experience with such assets. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust them as necessary. Adjustments to the expected lives of assets are accounted for on a prospective basis through depreciation expense. Leasehold improvements for which we pay and to which we have title are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors including the following to determine whether to impair long-lived assets:
 
• 
actual theater level cash flows;
 
• 
future years budgeted theater level cash flows;
 
• 
theater property and equipment carrying values;
 
• 
amortizing intangible asset carrying values;
 
• 
competitive theaters in the marketplace;
 
• 
the impact of recent ticket price changes;
 
• 
available lease renewal options; and
 
• 
other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theater assets.
  
 
33

 
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theater basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theater’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties.
 
Impairment of Goodwill and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
 
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment for each theater as a reporting unit, based on an estimate of its relative fair value.

Finite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.
 
Income Taxes
 
We use an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Other than the operating leases described herein, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
We do not hold instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices. Therefore, we believe that we are not materially exposed to market risks resulting from fluctuations from such rates or prices.
 
Subsequent Events

On October 4, 2013, we entered into Subscription agreements (collectively, the "Subscription Agreements") with investors in a private placement, who agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,141,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share, for a purchase price of $5.00 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $5,705 in gross proceeds. Barrington Research Associates, Inc. ("Barrington") acted as placement agent for the offering of the Shares (the "Offering"). We paid Barrington a commission of 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, or an aggregate of $342. The Shares were offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus, dated May 21, 2013, a prospectus supplement dated October 4, 2013, and the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective on May 21, 2013. The closing of the Offering was on October 9, 2013.  We also agreed to reimburse Barrington for its out-of-pocket expenses, in an amount not to exceed $110, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.

On October 23, 2013, we announced the signing of asset purchase agreements to acquire two theater locations – an 8-screen multiplex in Mechanicsburg, PA and a 7-screen multiplex located in Churchville, MD, from Flagship Cinemas. Consideration for these two theaters will be a combination of cash and our Class A common stock.  We also announced the signing of a theater operating lease beginning April 1, 2014, for a 12-screen theater located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, following our completion of digital projection system installations. The two theaters being acquired from Flagship will be owned and operated by Digiplex and the New Smyrna Beach complex will fall under Digiplex’s theater management agreement with JV.
 
On November 7, 2013, the Company announced the signing of an asset purchase agreement to acquire one theater having 10 screens located in Londonderry, NH. We also announced an agreement with the landlord of the Williamsport, PA location to add 2 screens to the existing 9-screen theater, resulting in an 11-screen theater.
