(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.
(3) Primarily represents professional fees incurred in connection with start-up activities, the creation of acquisition template documents that will be used by us for future transactions, and certain other costs related to our acquisition strategy. Since we intend to acquire additional theaters, we have laid the groundwork for our acquisition program and we expect to incur reduced legal fees in connection with future acquisitions. We therefore 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 our facility lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  As these are non-cash changes, we believe it is appropriate to show TLCF and Adjusted EBITDA excluding this item.
