Material Changes
The primary material change is the creation of a direct financial obligation. On August 17, 2006, the subsidiary executed its first drawdown under the new credit facility. This represents a new liability on the balance sheet compared to the prior period before the August 1, 2006 agreement was fully utilized.
Guidance, Outlook, and Use of Proceeds
Management indicated that the proceeds from the $10 million borrowing will be used primarily to fund up to 70% of the aggregate purchase price for digital cinema systems. This includes costs associated with acquisition, receipt, delivery, construction, and installation for theater locations where master license agreements have been executed. The funds may also be used for certain other corporate purposes. The filing does not contain specific forward-looking guidance on future earnings or revenue targets.
