TABLE OF CONTENTS
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements included in this quarterly report may constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references to future capital
expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business and technology strategies and
measures to implement strategies, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of business,
operations and technology, plans and references to the future success of IMAX Corporation together
with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) and expectations regarding the Companys future
operating results. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses
made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate
in the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with the
expectations and predictions of the Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, general economic, market or business conditions; the opportunities
(or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; competitive actions by other
companies; U.S. or Canadian regulatory inquiries; conditions in the in-home and out-of-home
entertainment industries; changes in laws or regulations; conditions, changes and developments in
the commercial exhibition industry; the acceptance of the Companys new technologies (including in
particular its transition to digital projection technology); risks associated with investments and
operations in foreign jurisdictions and any future international expansion, including those related
to economic, political and regulatory policies of local governments and laws and policies of the
United States and Canada; the potential impact of increased competition in the markets the Company
operates within; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report are qualified by
these cautionary statements, and actual results or anticipated developments by the Company may not
be realized, and even if substantially realized, may not have the expected consequences to, or
effects on, the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise
revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
(unaudited)
1. |
|
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
IMAX Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, reports its results under United States Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). |
|
|
|
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IMAX Corporation together
with its subsidiaries (the Company), except subsidiaries which the Company has identified as
variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The nature of
the Companys business is such that the results of operations for the interim periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of
management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results
of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. |
|
|
|
The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R). The Company has six film production companies that are
VIEs. As the Company is exposed to the majority of the expected losses for one of the film
production companies, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of this entity.
The Company continues to consolidate this entity, with no material impact on the operating results
or financial condition of the Company, as this production company has total assets and total
liabilities of $nil as at March 31, 2007 (December 31, 2006
$nil). For the other five film
production companies which are VIEs, however, the Company did not consolidate these film entities
since it does not bear the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns. The
Company equity accounts for these entities. As of March 31, 2007, these five VIEs have total assets
of $0.4 million (December 31, 2006 $0.4 million) and total liabilities of $0.4 million (December
31, 2006 $0.4 million). |
|
|
|
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including all intercompany profits on
transactions with equity-accounted investees, have been eliminated. |
|
|
|
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 which should be
consulted for a summary of the significant accounting policies utilized by the Company. These
interim financial statements are prepared following accounting policies consistent with the
Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, except as noted below. |
|
2. |
|
Change in Accounting Policy |
|
|
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(an interpretation of FASB Statement Number 109), (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a more
likely than not recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also provided guidance on derecognition of a tax position, classification of a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, accounting or interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and
expanded income tax disclosures. FIN 48 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded in the first quarter of 2007 upon
adoption of FIN 48 is an increase to the tax liability of $2.1 million and a charge to opening
deficit. For additional information see note 12. |

|
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements |
|
|
|
In 2006, the Company effected a restatement of its prior period financial results due to discovery
of certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition resulting from the Companys review of its
theater system arrangements over the 5 year period ended December 31, 2006 in response to comments
received from the staff of both the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) which indicated insufficient analysis of various sales
and lease transactions and the accounting effect of certain contractual provisions within them; and
misallocations of consideration to elements within certain multiple element arrangements; (b)

adjustments related to prior periods recorded through 2006 opening retained earnings. |
|
|
|
The sections which follow present additional detail with regard to the restatement and the impact
on results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition Theater Systems |
|
|
|
The Companys revenue arrangements include multiple elements. In prior years, the Company
considered each component of its theater systems to be a separate element. As a result, revenue was
recognized when certain components were installed. As part of the review of its revenue recognition
policy, the Company concluded its policy for revenue recognition on theater systems should be
revised to treat all components of the theater system (including the projector, sound system,
screen system and, if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine), theater design support, supervision
of installation, projectionist training and the use of that IMAX brand as a single deliverable and
a single unit of accounting. In addition, the Company revised its policy to require that (i) the
projector, sound system and screen system be installed and be in full working condition, the 3D
glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, be delivered and projectionist training be completed, and
(ii) written customer acceptance thereon be received, or the public opening of the theater takes
place, before revenue can be recognized. In conjunction with these changes, the Company undertook
an extensive review of all of its revenue arrangements for theater systems for the period from 2002
to 2006. Three transactions which were originally recorded in 2005 (revenue and net earnings impact
of $5.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively) were moved to the first quarter of 2006. One
transaction which was originally recorded in the first quarter of 2006 (revenue and net earnings
impact of $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively) was moved to the second quarter of 2006. The
net impact of these adjustments was an understatement of net earnings of $2.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006. The net impact of these adjustments was an increase in revenue and
net earnings of $3.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. |

|
Revenue Recognition Other |
|
|
|
As a result of the review of the revenue arrangements, the Company identified additional errors
including the following: |
|
|
|
Based on an analysis of fair values of elements within arrangements separately priced
maintenance and warranty agreements and film licenses, the Company determined that fair value
previously allocated in certain multiple element arrangements was not appropriate and has
adjusted these amounts. |
|
|
|
|
The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in the
reclassification of: certain sales to sales-type lease transactions given lien rights were
retained; certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the
benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer and certain contractual
default clauses impacted the timing of recognition of the minimum annual payments under the
arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were
impaired. The Company has corrected the error by discontinuing the recognition of finance
income until the impairment issues were resolved. |
The impact of these adjustments was a decrease to net loss by $0.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006.
Inventory Costs
During the period from 2001 to 2006, the Company paid certain fees to a professional services firm
to assist the Company in identifying sales opportunities and provide assistance in negotiating and
concluding contracts in the developing Asian market. These fees were capitalized and allocated to
theater systems inventory for various Asian customers. The Company has determined that these fees
were promotional and selling expenses which should have been expensed as incurred as the costs were
not direct and incremental costs to a contract. The net loss has been increased by less than $0.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Film Accounting
The Company has determined that it had misclassified certain costs incurred in respect of
co-produced film productions between 2004 and the third quarter of 2006. Marketing and advertising
costs were co-mingled with film production costs, and both were capitalized to film assets, and
subsequently amortized into the income statement over the estimated total ultimate revenues
associated with the film productions. Film exploitation costs, which include marketing and
advertising costs, as defined in SOP 00-2, should be expensed in the period incurred and not
capitalized to film assets. In addition, certain costs were accrued by the Company prior to being
incurred. These costs have been moved to the period they were incurred. On certain co-produced film
productions the Company received production fees which should have been deferred and recognized
over the film ultimates. These production fees were previously recognized when production of the
film was complete. The Company also determined that it had not appropriately applied the
individual-film-forecast computation method when it amortized its film assets and deferred
production fees and accrued its participation liabilities for the periods between 2002 and the
third quarter of 2006. SOP 00-2 requires changes in estimates of ultimate revenues used in the
individual-film-forecast computation method to be adjusted prospectively from the beginning of the
year of the change. The Company had applied changes in estimates on a retroactive basis from the
original release date. In addition, the Company adjusted its amortization of prepaid print costs.
The net loss has been increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

|
Branch Level Interest Taxes |
|
|
|
The Company did not properly account for tax liabilities for branch level interest tax. For the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company failed to make timely tax elections that
would have prevented an allocation of the Companys interest expense on its long-term indebtedness
to the Companys U.S. branch income tax returns. In 2006, the Company was assessed branch level
interest taxes, interest and penalties due to the fact that these tax elections were not filed on a
timely basis. The Company has determined that an accrued liability for the tax obligations should
have been recorded at the time elections should have been filed and the taxes were due to be paid,
which was in the third quarter of each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. The net
loss has been decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
Other Adjustments |
|
|
|
During the preparation of executive compensation information for the 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K, the Company determined that the two Co-Chief Executive Officers ( Co-CEOs ) were entitled to
postretirement benefits since 2000 for which the obligation had not been included in the prior
financial statements as required under SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions. As a result the Company should have accrued $0.2 million in 2000.
SG&A has been increased by less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
Statements of Cash Flows |
|
|
|
There were no errors in the cash flow statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 other than
conforming changes to the components of the reconciliation to net cash provided by or used in
operating activities related to the restatement adjustments described above. |

As at March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding $159.0 million aggregate principal of Registered
Senior Notes and $1.0 million aggregate principal of Unregistered Senior Notes. The Registered
Senior Notes and the Unregistered Senior Notes are referred to herein as the Senior Notes.
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes require that annual and quarterly financial statements are
filed with the Trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines. If these
financial reporting covenants are breached then this is considered an event of default under the
terms of the Senior Notes and the Company has 30 days to cure this default, after which the Senior
Notes become due and payable.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the required public company filing deadline due to the discovery of
certain accounting errors, broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting
matters based on comments received by the Company from the SEC and OSC, and ultimately restated
financial statements for certain periods during those years. The filing delay resulted in the
Company being in default of a financial reporting covenant under the indenture dated as of December
4, 2003, and as thereafter amended and supplemented, governing the Companys Senior Notes due 2010
(the Indenture).

Senior Notes due 2010 (contd) |
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from holders of
approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Consenting Holders) to
execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture with the
Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture waived any
defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the reporting
covenant and extended until May 31, 2007, or at the Companys election until June 30, 2007 (the
Covenant Reversion Date), the date by which the Companys failure to comply with the reporting
covenant shall constitute a default, or be the basis for an event of default under the Indenture.
The Company paid consent fees of $1.0 million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the
Company provided notice to the holders of the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant
Reversion Date to June 30, 2007. The Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the
Consenting Holders. Because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007
by June 30, 2007, it was in default of the reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007,
and received notice of such default on July 2, 2007. The Company will cure such default under the
Indenture, which provides for a 30-day cure period for defaults under the reporting covenant, by
filing its 2006 10-K and this first quarter 2007 10-Q by the end of the 30-day cure period.
On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement for a secured revolving credit
facility as amended on June 30, 2005 and as further amended by the Second Amendment to the Loan
Agreement which was entered into with effect from May 16, 2006 (the Credit Facility). The Credit
Facility is a revolving credit facility expiring on October 31, 2009 with an optional one year
renewal thereafter contingent upon approval by the lender, permitting maximum aggregate borrowings
of $40.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation which includes the Companys financing
receivables, operating leases, finished goods inventory and capital assets with certain reserve
requirements and deductions for outstanding letters of credit. As at March 31, 2007, the Companys
current borrowing capacity under such calculation is $22.4 million after deduction for outstanding
letters of credit of $10.6 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at the applicable prime rate
per annum or LIBOR plus a margin as specified therein per annum and is collateralized by a first
priority security interest in all of the current and future assets of the Company. The Credit
Facility contains typical affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the
Companys ability to: incur certain additional indebtedness; make certain loans, investments or
guarantees; pay dividends; make certain asset sales; incur certain liens or other encumbrances;
conduct certain transactions with affiliates and enter into certain corporate transactions. In
addition, the Credit Facility agreement contains customary events of default, including upon an
acquisition or a change of control that may have a material adverse effect on the Company or a
guarantor. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain, over a period of time, a
minimum level of cash collections and a minimum level of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization including film asset amortization, stock and other non-cash
compensation, write downs (recoveries), and asset impairment charges, and other non-cash uses of
funds calculated on a trailing four quarter basis, of not less than $20.0 million.
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has to comply with several reporting
requirements including the delivery of audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of
the end of the fiscal year.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for certain
periods during the fiscal years 2002 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender waived
the requirement for the Company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within 120
days of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents
are delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that
an event of default would not be deemed to have occurred unless the Companys 10-K filing does not
occur by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the
Companys Indenture governing its Senior Notes which, has not been cured within the applicable
grace period.

Contingencies and Guarantees |
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below,
which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies , the Company will make a provision for a
liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The
Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to
the claims at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impacts of negotiations,
settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case.
Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Companys
determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material
provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for
significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of
operations, cash flows, and financial position in the period or periods in which such a change in
determination, settlement or judgment occurs.
The Company expenses legal costs relating to its lawsuits, claims and proceedings as incurred.

In March 2005, the Company, together with Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (3DMG), filed
a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western
Division, against In-Three, Inc. (In-Three) alleging patent infringement. On March 10, 2006,
the Company and In-Three entered into a settlement agreement settling the dispute between the
Company and In-Three. On June 12, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California, Western Division, entered a stay in the proceedings against In-Three pending the
arbitration of disputes between the Company and 3DMG. Arbitration was initiated by the Company
against 3DMG on May 15, 2006 before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New
York, alleging breaches of the license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG.
On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that
the Company breached the parties license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the Arbitration Panel
unanimously denied 3DMGs Motion for Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the
Companys claims and 3DMGs counterclaims. An evidentiary hearing on liability issues has been
set for September 2007 with further proceedings on damages issues to be scheduled if and when
necessary. The Company will continue to pursue its claims vigorously and believes that all
allegations made by 3DMG are without merit. The Company further believes that the amount of
loss, if any, suffered in connection with the counterclaims would not have a material impact
on the financial position or operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given
with respect to the ultimate outcome of the arbitration. |

In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theater Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company,
commenced an arbitration seeking damages of approximately $3.7 million before the
International Court of Arbitration of the International Chambers of Commerce (the ICC) with
respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (EML) of its December 2000 agreement with
the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against
EMLs affiliate, E-CITI Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (E-Citi), seeking $17.8 million in
damages as a result of E-Citis breach of a September 2000 lease agreement. The arbitration
hearing on both claims took place in November 2005. On February 1, 2006, the ICC issued an
award on liability finding unanimously in the Companys favor on all claims. The ICC hearings
to determine the amount of damages to be awarded to the Company took place in July 2006, and a
further hearing took place on December 2006. The ICC panel has not yet rendered its decision
with respect to damages and no amount has yet been recorded for these damages. |

In June 2004, Robots of Mars, Inc. (Robots) initiated an arbitration proceeding against the
Company in California with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to an arbitration
provision in a 1994 film production agreement between Robots predecessor-in-interest and a
subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and intentional interference with contract. Robots is seeking an accounting of the
Companys revenues and an award of all sums alleged to be due to Robots under the production
agreement, as well as punitive damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
arbitration proceeding and believes the amount of the loss, if any, that may be suffered in
connection with this proceeding will not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such arbitration. |

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in eight
purported class action lawsuits filed between August 11, 2006 and September 18, 2006, alleging
violations of U.S. federal securities laws. These eight actions were filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuits, brought on behalf of
shareholders who purchased the Companys common stock between October 28, 2004 and August 9,
2006, allege primarily that the defendants engaged in securities fraud by disseminating
materially false and misleading statements during the class period regarding the Companys
revenue recognition of theater system installations, and failing to disclose material
information concerning the Companys revenue recognition practices. These lawsuits seek
unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. On January 18, 2007, the Court
consolidated all eight class action lawsuits and appointed Westchester Capital Management,
Inc. as the lead plaintiff and Abbey Spanier Rodd Abrams & Paradis LLP as lead plaintiffs
counsel. On April 26, 2007, the lead plaintiff and the Company entered into a stipulation
extending the time in which the lead plaintiff must file a consolidated amended complaint
until sixty days after the Company files its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The lawsuit is at a
very early stage and as a result the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss
exposure. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the
complaints are meritless and will vigorously defend this matter,
although no assurance can be given with respect to the outcome of
such proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy provides for reimbursement for
costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages
awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits. |

A class action lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2006 in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of
Canadian securities laws. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the
Companys securities between February 17, 2006 and August 9, 2006. The lawsuit is in a very
early stage and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs and
expenses. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss exposure. The
Company believes the allegations made against it in the statement of claim are meritless and
will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy
provides for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as
well as potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits. |

On May 10, 2007, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II, a holder of Senior Notes, filed a
complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County
alleging common law fraud, challenging the consent solicitation through which the Company
requested and obtained a waiver of any and all defaults arising from a failure to comply with
the reporting covenant under the indenture governing the Senior Notes, and seeking a
declaration that the consent solicitation was legally ineffective due to alleged misstatements
made by the Company. The complaint further seeks a declaration that the Company has defaulted
on its reporting obligations under the indenture as a result of its failure to timely file its
annual and quarterly reports, and the Companys stated expectation that it will restate
certain of the financial statements it filed during the 2001 through 2006 time period. The
litigation is at a preliminary stage and as a result, the Company is not able to estimate a
potential loss exposure. The Company believes this lawsuit is entirely without merit and plans
to defend it vigorously. On June 29, 2007, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint in its
entirety. The Company believes this lawsuit is entirely without merit
and plans to defend it vigorously although no assurances can be given
with respect to the outcome of such proceedings. |
|
(g) |
|
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal
proceedings which, in the opinion of the Companys management, will not materially affect the
Companys financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given
with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. |

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may contain
features that meet the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others (FIN 45) definition of a guarantee. FIN 45 defines a guarantee to be a contract
(including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Company to make payments (either in
cash, financial instruments, other assets, shares of its stock or provision of services) to a
third party based on (a) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity
or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an asset, a liability or
an equity security of the counterparty, (b) failure of another party to perform under an
obligating agreement or (c) failure of another third party to pay its indebtedness when due. |

Director/Officer Indemnification |
|
|
|
The Companys General By-law contains an indemnification of its directors/officers, former
directors/officers and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity
in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by
the Canada Business Corporations Act, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and
any amount actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they
acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The nature of
the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential
amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors and
officers liability insurance. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006, with respect to this indemnity. |
|
|
|
Other Indemnification Agreements |
|
|
|
In the normal course of the Companys operations, it provides indemnifications to counterparties in
transactions such as: theater system lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation
or servicing of the theater systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real
property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the
Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that
may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Companys breach or
non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary
based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of
agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification, however
virtually all of the Companys system lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential
liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of
indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from
making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to
counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such
indemnifications and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities. |

Income Taxes |
|
|
|
The Companys effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and will vary from year to
year primarily as a result of numerous permanent differences, investment and other tax credits, the
provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions,
enacted Statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the year, changes in the Companys valuation
allowance based on the Companys recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets, and favourable
or unfavourable resolution of various tax examinations. There was no change in the Companys
estimates of projected future earnings and the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based on
an analysis of both positive and negative evidence. |
|
|
|
As at March 31, 2007, the Company has net deferred income tax assets of $nil (December 31, 2006 -
$nil). As of March 31, 2007, the Company had a gross deferred income tax asset of $53.8 million,
against which the Company is carrying a $53.8 million valuation allowance. |
|
|
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure,
and transition. In connection with the Companys adoption of FIN 48, as of January 1, 2007, the
Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $2.1 million (including approximately $0.9
million related to accrued interest and penalties) related to the measurement of potential
international withholding tax requirements and a decrease in reserves for income taxes. As of March
31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of $3.8 million and
$3.7 comprised of (i) $3.6 million and $3.5 million for international withholding taxes,
respectively, and (ii) $0.2 million related to Large Corporations Tax as of both periods. All of
the unrecognized tax benefits could impact the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. While
the Company believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing
authorities could be greater than our accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions on
federal and foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are
made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. |
|
|
|
Consistent with its historical financial reporting, the Company has elected to classify interest
and penalties related to income tax liabilities, when applicable, as part of the interest expense
in its Consolidated Statements of Operations rather than income tax expense. In conjunction with
the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million in potential interest and
penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the three months ended March 31, 2007. |

Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
The Company has four stock-based compensation plans that are described below. The compensation
costs charged to the statement of operations for these plans were $1.0 million and $0.8 million for
the first quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No income tax benefit is recorded
in the consolidated statement of operations for these costs. |
|
|
|
Stock Option Plan |
|
|
|
The Companys Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder approved, permits the grant of options to
employees, directors and consultants. |
|
|
|
The Companys policy is to issue new shares from treasury to satisfy stock options which are
exercised. |
|
|
|
The weighted average fair value of all common share options granted to employees in the first
quarter of 2007 at the date of grant was $2.42 per share (2006
$3.75 per share). The Company
utilizes a Binomial Model to determine the fair value of common share options at the grant date.
For the three months ended March 31, the following assumptions were used: |

As the Company stratifies its employees into two groups in order to calculate fair value under the
Binomial Model, ranges of assumptions used are presented for equity risk premium, Beta, expected
option life and annual termination probability. The Company uses historical data to estimate option
exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that
have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The
expected volatility rate is estimated based on the Companys historical share-price volatility. The
market risk premium reflects the amount by which the return on the market portfolio exceeds the
risk-free rate, where the return on the market portfolio is based on the Standard and Poors 500
index. The Company utilizes an expected term method to determine expected option life based on such
data as vesting periods of awards, historical data that includes past exercise and post-vesting
cancellations and stock price history. |

As at March 31, 2007, the Company has reserved a total of 6,974,657 (December 31, 2006
6,974,657) common shares for future issuance under the Stock Option Plan, of which options in
respect of 5,087,985 common shares are outstanding at March 31, 2007. Options are generally granted
with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Companys stock at the grant date. The
options generally vest between one and five years and expire 10 years or less from the date
granted. The Plan provides that vesting will be accelerated if there is a change of control, as
defined in the plan. At March 31, 2007, options in respect of 4,625,132 common shares were vested
and exercisable. |

In the first quarter of 2007, the Company cancelled 13,050 stock options from its Stock Option Plan
(2006 2,467) surrendered by Company employees for $nil consideration. |
|
|
|
As at March 31, 2007 4,945,309 options are fully vested or are expected to vest with a weighted
average exercise price of $7.09, aggregate intrinsic value of $1.7 million and weighted average
remaining contractual life of 4.3 years. As at March 31, 2007, options that are exercisable have an
intrinsic value of $1.7 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.2 years. The
intrinsic value of options exercised in the first quarter of 2006 was $0.4 million. |
|
|
|
Not included in the table above are 502,500 options granted in the first quarter of 2006 that the
Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2006, exceeded, by approximately 1.6%, certain cap
limits for grants set by its Stock Option Plan. These options were granted with a weighted average
exercise price of $10.43. Of these options, 10,000 options with a weighted average exercise price
of $10.69 were forfeited. The number of these options outstanding as at March 31, 2007 was 492,500
(2006 502,500) with a weighted average exercise price of $10.42 (2006 $10.43). The number of
these options exercisable as at March 31, 2007 was 216,250 (2006 nil) with a weighted average
exercise price of $10.63 (2006 nil ). As the Company intended to settle the obligations for a
significant number of these options in cash, these options have been treated as liability-based
awards based on fair values as at March 31, 2007. 5,000 of these options were forfeited in May
2007, 150,000 of these options were voluntarily surrendered by the Co-CEOs for no consideration in
June 2007; and 337,500 of these options were settled for cash in June 2007 in an amount of $0.3
million. Compensation cost recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options
cancelled. |
|
|
|
Options to Non-Employees |
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2007, an aggregate of 8,890 (2006 23,335) options to purchase the
Companys common stock with an average exercise price of $4.31 (2006 $8.75) were issued to
certain advisors and strategic partners of the Company. These options have a maximum contractual
life of seven years. Certain of these options vest immediately and others upon the occurrence of
certain events. These options were granted under the Stock Option Plan. |

|
|
|
Restricted Common Shares |
|
|
|
Under the terms of certain employment agreements dated July 12, 2000, the Company is required to
issue either 160,000 restricted common shares or pay their cash equivalent. The restricted shares
are required to be issued, or payment of their cash equivalent, upon request by the employees at
any time. The aggregate intrinsic value of the awards outstanding is $0.8 million. The Company
accounts for the obligation as a liability, which is classified within accrued liabilities. The
Company has recorded an expense of $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (2006 $0.5
million), due to the changes in the Companys stock price during the period. |
|
|
|
Stock Appreciation Rights |
|
|
|
On February 15, 2007, 600,000 stock appreciation rights with an exercise price of $4.34 per
right were granted to Company executives. Half of the rights vested and were exercisable
immediately and the other 300,000 rights will vest and be exercisable by the end of 2007. These
rights were measured at fair value at the date of grant and are remeasured each period until
settled. At March 31, 2007, these rights had weighted average fair value of $1.12 based on the fair
value of $nil for the rights that vested on date of grant and a fair value of $2.23 for the rights
that vest during 2007. The Company has recorded a charge of $0.3 million to SG&A related to these
rights. The following assumptions were used at March 31, 2007 for measuring the fair value of the

Discontinued Operations |
|
(a) |
|
Miami Theater LLC |
|
|
|
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The Company
completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater in the
first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company had been estimated
as between $0.9 million and $2.3 million. Prior to 2006, the Company paid out $0.8 million with
respect to amounts owing to the landlord. The Company paid out an additional $0.1 million and also
accrued $0.8 million in net loss from discontinued operations related to Miami IMAX Theater in the
fourth quarter of 2006. On January 4, 2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both
parties, the Company paid out a final $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. |
|
(b) |
|
Digital Projection International |
|
|
|
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International (DPI), entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a
payment of $3.5 million. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized $2.3 million in
income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement. The other $1.2 million was
recognized in 2005. |

Employees Pension and Postretirement Benefits |
|
(a) |
|
Defined Benefit Plan |
|
|
|
The Company has an unfunded U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the SERP), covering its two Co-CEOs. The SERP provides for a lifetime retirement
benefit from age 55 determined as 75% of the members best average 60 consecutive months of
earnings during the 120 months preceding retirement. |
|
|
|
Under the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually
to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse.
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP effective January
1, 2006, which reduced the related pension expense to the Company. The Company was represented by
the independent directors (as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and
Section 1.4 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (Independent Directors)), who retained Mercer Human
Resources Consulting (Mercer) and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses
regarding the SERP. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, the cost of living adjustment and
surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs are each reduced by 50%, subject to a
recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of control of the Company, and the net
present value of the reduced pension benefit payments is accelerated and paid out upon a change of
control of the Company. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the SERP initiation date. The
vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception until age 55. The vesting
percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than by voluntary retirement or upon a
change in control shall be 100%. The actuarial liability was remeasured as of March 8, 2006 to
reflect the SERP changes adopted. As of March 31, 2007, one of the Co-CEOs benefits was 100%
vested and the other Co-CEOs benefits were approximately 83% vested. |

|
Defined Benefit Plan (contd) |
|
|
|
The following benefit payments are expected to be made as per the current SERP assumptions and the
terms of the SERP in each of the next five years, and in the aggregate over the five years
thereafter: |

At the time the Company established the SERP, it also took out life insurance policies on its two
Co-CEOs with coverage amounts of $21.5 million in aggregate. The Company intends to use the cash
surrender value proceeds of life insurance policies taken on its Co-CEOs to be applied towards the
benefits due and payable under the SERP, although there can be no assurance that the Company will
ultimately do so. At March 31, 2007, the cash surrender value of the insurance policies is $4.5
million (December 31, 2006 $4.3 million) and has been included in other assets. |
|
(b) |
|
Defined Contribution Plan |
|
|
|
The Company also maintains defined contribution pension plans for its employees, including its
executive officers. The Company makes contributions to these plans on behalf of employees in an
amount up to 5% of their base salary subject to certain prescribed maximums. During the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company contributed and expensed an aggregate of $0.2
million and $0.2 million, respectively, to its Canadian plan and an aggregate of $0.1 million and
$0.1 million, respectively, to its defined contribution employee pension plan under Section 401(k)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. |
|
(c) |
|
Postretirement Benefits |
|
|
|
The Company has an unfunded postretirement plan covering its two Co-CEOs. The plan provides that
the Company will maintain health benefits for the Co-CEOs until they become eligible for Medicare
and, thereafter, the Company will provide Medicare supplement coverage as selected by the Co-CEO.
The postretirement benefits obligation as of March 31, 2007 is $0.4 million. |

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for
interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this statement. |
|
|
|
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows the irrevocable election of fair value as the
initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities and other
items on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value would be reflected in earnings as
they occur. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with
the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items. |

balance. As a result of applying equity accounting, the parent company has consequently reduced
intercompany receivable balances with respect to these Guarantor Subsidiaries in the amounts of
$27.1 million as at March 31, 2007. |

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
OVERVIEW
The principal business of IMAX Corporation together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
Company) is the design, manufacture, sale or lease of theater systems for large-format theaters
including commercial theaters, museums and science centers, and destination entertainment sites. In
addition, the Company specializes in digital and film based motion picture technologies, designs
and manufactures high-end sound systems and produces and distributes large-format films. At March
31, 2007, there were 284 IMAX theaters operating in 40 countries.
The Company derives revenue principally from the sale or long-term lease of its theater systems and
associated maintenance and extended warranty services, the provision of film production and digital
re-mastering services, the distribution of certain films, and the provision of post-production
services. The Company also derives revenue from the operation of its own theaters, camera rentals
and the provision of aftermarket parts for its system components.
Important factors that the Companys Co-Chief Executive Officers (Co-CEOs) use in assessing the
Companys business and prospects include the signing of new theater systems arrangements, revenue,
gross margins from the Companys operating segments, earnings from operations as adjusted for
unusual items that the Company views as non-recurring and the success of strategic initiatives such
as the securing of new film projects, particularly IMAX DMR films, the signing and financial
performance of joint revenue sharing arrangements and the progress of the Companys development of
a digital projector and related technologies.
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company reports its results under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S.
GAAP).
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing
basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, net
investment in leases, inventories, property, plant and equipment, film assets, investments, other
assets, intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its
estimates on historical experience, future expectations and other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may
differ from these estimates due to uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time,
events which are continuous in nature, and the differences may be material. The Companys
significant accounting policies are discussed in note 2 to its audited consolidated financial
statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and
are summarized below.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In 2006, the Company has identified certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition resulting
from the Companys review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years period ended
December 31, 2006 in response to comments received from the staff of both the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) which
indicated insufficient analysis of various sales and lease transactions and the accounting effect
of certain contractual provisions within them; and misallocations of consideration to elements
within certain multiple element arrangements; (b) capitalization of costs into inventory and films
assets and amortization of film assets in accordance with SOP 00-2 Accounting by Producers or
Distributors of Films (SOP 00-2); (c) income tax liabilities resulting from failure to make
certain tax elections on a timely basis and (d) certain other items in note 3 of the condensed
consolidated financial statements. In addition, in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded other adjustments related to
prior periods unadjusted differences that had been deemed not to be material and adjustments
related to prior periods recorded through 2006 opening retained earnings. The condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 have been restated to
reflect these error corrections under U.S. GAAP. See note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements for additional details.

(contd) |
OVERVIEW (contd)
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair
values associated with the individual elements in multiple element arrangements; residual values of
leased theater systems; economic lives of leased assets; allowances for potential uncollectibility
of accounts receivable, financing receivables and net investment in leases; provisions for
inventory obsolescence; ultimate revenues for film assets; estimates of fair values for film
assets, long-lived assets and goodwill; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful
lives of intangible assets; pension plan assumptions; accruals for contingencies including tax
contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; and, estimates of the fair
value of stock-based payment awards. Management bases its estimates on historic experience, future
expectations and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the date of the condensed
consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to
uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in
nature, and the differences may be material. The Companys significant accounting policies are
discussed in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Company considers the following critical accounting policies to have the most significant
effect on its estimates, assumptions and judgments:
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from various sources as follows:
|
|
|
Design, manufacture, sale and lease of proprietary theater systems for IMAX theaters
principally owned and operated by commercial and institutional customers located in 40
countries as of March 31, 2007; |
|
|
|
|
Production, digital re-mastering, post-production and/or distribution of certain films
shown throughout the IMAX theater network; |
|
|
|
|
Operation of certain IMAX theaters primarily in the United States and Canada; |
|
|
|
|
Provision of other services to the IMAX theater network including ongoing maintenance and
extended warranty services for IMAX theater systems; and |
|
|
|
|
Other activities, which includes short-term rental of cameras and aftermarket sales of
projector system components. |
Multiple Element Arrangements
The Companys revenue arrangements with certain customers may involve multiple elements consisting
of a theater system (projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, a 3D glasses
cleaning machine); services associated with the theater system including theater design support,
supervision of installation, and projectionist training; a license to use of the IMAX brand; 3D
glasses; maintenance and extended warranty services; and licensing of films. The Company evaluates
all elements in an arrangement to determine what are considered typical deliverables for accounting
purposes and which of the deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on the
applicable accounting guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting
for Leases (SFAS 13); FASB Technical Bulletin No. 90-1, Accounting for Separately Priced
Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts (FTB 90-1); American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films
(SOP 00-2); and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If separate units of accounting are either required under
the relevant accounting standards or determined to be applicable under EITF 00-21, the total
consideration received or receivable in the arrangement is allocated based on the applicable
guidance in the above noted standards.

(contd)
OVERVIEW (contd)
Critical Accounting Policies (contd)
Revenue Recognition (contd)
Theater Systems
The Company has identified the projection system, sound system, screen system and, if applicable,
the 3D glasses cleaning machine, theater design support, supervision of installation, projectionist
training and the use of the IMAX brand, generally to be a single deliverable and a single unit of
accounting (the System Deliverable). The Company generally is not responsible for the physical
installation of the equipment in the customers facility; however, the Company supervises the
installation by the customer. Generally, the customer has the right to use the IMAX brand from the
date the Company and the customer enter into an arrangement.
The Companys System Deliverable arrangements involve either a lease or a sale of the theater
system. The consideration in the Companys arrangements typically consist of upfront or initial
payments made before and after the final installation of the theater system equipment and ongoing
payments throughout the term of the lease or over a period of time, as specified in the
arrangement. The ongoing payments generally provide for a fee which is the greater of a fixed
amount or a certain percentage of the theater box-office. The amounts over the fixed minimum
amounts are considered contingent payments. The Companys arrangements are generally
non-cancellable, unless the Company fails to perform its obligations. In the absence of a material
default by the Company, there is typically no right to any remedy for the customer under the
Companys arrangements. If a material default by the Company exists, the customer has the right to
terminate the arrangement and seek a refund only if the customer provides notice to the Company of
a material default and only if the Company does not cure the default within a specified period.
Sales Arrangements
For sales arrangements, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized in accordance
with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), when all of the
following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been
installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable,
has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a)
receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing
of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater,
provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable and
collectibility is reasonably assured.
The initial revenue recognized consists of the initial payments received and the present value of
any future initial payments and fixed minimum ongoing payments that have been attributed to this
unit of accounting. Contingent fees in excess of the fixed minimum ongoing payments are recognized
when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured.
The Company has also agreed, on occasion, to sell equipment under lease or at the end of a lease
term. Consideration agreed to for these lease buyouts is included in revenues from equipment and
product sales, when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are determinable and
collectibility is reasonably assured.
Lease Arrangements
The Company uses the guidance in EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains
a Lease (EITF 01-8), to evaluate whether an arrangement is a lease within the scope of SFAS 13.
Arrangements not within the scope of SFAS 13 are accounted for either as a sales or services
arrangement, as applicable.
For lease arrangements, the Company determines the classification of the lease in accordance with
SFAS 13. A lease arrangement that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incident to
ownership of the equipment is classified as a sales-type lease based on the criteria established by
SFAS 13; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Prior to commencement of the
lease term for the equipment, the Company may modify certain payment terms or make concessions. If
these circumstances occur, the Company reassesses the classification of the lease based on the
modified terms and conditions.

Lease Arrangements (contd)
For sales-type leases, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized when the lease
term commences, which the Company deems to be when all of the following conditions have been met
(i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working
condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii)
projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written
customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment
and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided
collectibility is reasonably assured.
The initial revenue recognized for sales-type leases consists of the initial rents received and the
present value of future initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents computed at the interest rate
implicit in the lease. Contingent rents in excess of the fixed minimum rents are recognized when
reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured.
For operating leases, initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents are recognized as revenue on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. For operating leases, the lease term is considered to
commence when all of the following conditions have been met (i) the projector, sound system and
screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning
machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and
(iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written customer acceptance certifying the completion of
installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or
(b) public opening of the theater. Contingent fees in excess of fixed minimum ongoing fees are
recognized as revenue when reported by theater operators, provided that collection is reasonably
assured.
Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements
For joint revenue sharing arrangements, where the Company receives a portion of the a theaters
box-office and concession revenue in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater
operators venue, revenue is recognized when reported by the theater operator, provided that
collection is reasonably assured. Revenue recognized related to these arrangements for the quarters
ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 included in rental revenues was $0.4 million and $0.1
million, respectively.
The Company believes that its joint revenue sharing arrangements represent an effective way for it
to deploy capital, add incremental theater growth and realize the benefits of network economics
more quickly. The Company believes that by contributing the theater system, with the exhibitor
responsible for the theater retrofit costs, it significantly lowers the capital cost for exhibitors
to deploy an IMAX theater, which, in turn, expands the IMAX network more rapidly and provides the
Company with an increasingly significant portion of the IMAX box office from its licensed theaters,
as well as a continuing portion of the IMAX DMR film revenue from the film studio.
Terminations and Consensual Buyouts
The Company generally enters into theater system arrangements with customers that typically contain
customer payment obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater system. During the
period of time between signing and the installation of the theater system, which may extend several
years, certain customers may be unable to, or elect not to, proceed with the theater system
installation for a number of reasons including business considerations, or the inability to obtain
certain consents, approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not
proceed with installation, the arrangement may be terminated under the default provisions of the
arrangement or by mutual agreement between the Company and the customer (a consensual buyout).
Terminations by default are situations when a customer does not meet the payment obligations under
an arrangement and the Company retains the amounts paid by the customer which are recorded in Other
revenues. Under a consensual buyout, the Company and the customer agree, in writing, to a
settlement and to release each other of any further obligations under the arrangement or an
arbitrated settlement is reached. Any initial payments retained or additional payments received by
the Company are recognized as revenue when the settlement arrangements are executed and the cash is
received, respectively. These termination and consensual buyout amounts are recognized in Other
revenues.

Terminations and Consensual Buyouts (contd)
In addition, since the introduction of IMAX MPX theater system components in 2003, the Company has
agreed with several customers to convert their obligations for other theater system configurations
that have not yet been installed to arrangements to acquire or lease the IMAX MPX theater system.
The Company considers these situations to be a termination of the previous arrangement and
origination of a new arrangement for the IMAX MPX theater system. The Company continues to defer an
amount of any initial fees received from the customer such that aggregate of the fees deferred and
the net present value of the future fixed initial and ongoing payments to be received from the
customer equals the fair value of the IMAX MPX theater system to be leased or acquired by the
customer. Any residual portion of the initial fees received from the customer for the terminated
theater system is recorded in Other revenues at the time when the obligation for the original
theater system is terminated and the IMAX MPX theater system arrangement is signed.
The Company may offer certain incentives to customers to complete theater system transactions
including payment concessions or free services and products such as film licenses or 3D glasses.
The payment concessions generally do not affect the classification of leases. Reductions in, and
deferral, of payments are taken into account in determining the sales price either by a direct
reduction in the sales price or a reduction of payments to be discounted in accordance with SFAS 13
or Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 21, Interest on Receivables and Payables (APB 21).
Free products and services generally are accounted for as separate units of accounting.
Maintenance and Extended Warranty Services
Maintenance and extended warranty services may be provided under a multiple element arrangement or
as a separately priced contract. Revenue related to these services are deferred and recognized on a
straight-line basis over the contract period. Maintenance and extended warranty services includes
maintenance of the customers equipment and spare replacement parts. Under certain maintenance
arrangements, maintenance services may include the provision of training services to the customers
technicians. All costs associated with this maintenance program are expensed as incurred. A loss on
maintenance and extended warranty services is recognized if the expected cost of providing the
services under the contracts exceeds the related deferred revenue.
Film Production and IMAX DMR Services
In certain film arrangements, the Company produces a film financed by third parties, whereby the
third party retains the copyright and the Company obtains exclusive distribution rights. Under
these arrangements, the Company is entitled to a fixed fee or retains as a fee the excess of
funding over cost of production (the production fee). The third parties receive a portion of the
revenues received by the Company on distributing the film, which is charged to costs of revenue.
The production fees are deferred and recognized as a rebate of the cost of the film based on the
ratio of the Companys distribution revenues recognized in the current period to the ultimate
distribution revenues expected from the film.
Revenue from film production services where the Company does not hold the associated distribution
rights are recognized when performance of the contractual service is complete, provided there is
persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably
assured.
Revenues from digitally re-mastering (IMAX DMR) film where third parties own or hold the copyrights
and the rights to distribute the film are derived in the form of processing fees and recoupments
calculated as a percentage of box-office receipts generated from the re-mastered films. Processing
fees are recognized as revenues when the performance of the related re-mastering service is
completed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection is reasonable assured. Recoupments calculated as a percentage of
box-office receipts are recognized as revenue when reported by the third party that owns or holds
the related film right, provided that collection is reasonably assured.
Losses on film production and IMAX DMR services are recognized in the period when it is determined
that the Companys estimate of total revenues to be realized by the Company will not exceed
estimated total production costs to be expended on the film production and the cost of IMAX DMR
services.

Critical Accounting Policies (contd)
Revenue Recognition (contd)
Film Distribution
Revenue from the licensing of films is recognized when a licensing arrangement exists, the film has
been completed and delivered, the license period has begun, the fee is fixed and determinable and
collection is reasonably assured. When license fees are based on a percentage of box-office
receipts, revenue is recognized when reported by exhibitor, provided that collection is reasonably
assured.
Film Post-Production Services
Revenues from post-production film services are recognized when performance of the contracted
services is complete.
Theater Operations Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from its owned and operated theaters resulting from box-office
ticket and concession sales as tickets are sold, films are shown and upon the sale of various
concessions. The sales generally are cash or credit card transactions with theatergoers based on
fixed prices per seat or per concession item.
In addition, the Company enters into commercial arrangements with third party theater owners
resulting in the sharing of profits and losses which are recognized when reported by such theaters.
The Company also provides management services to certain theaters and recognizes revenue over the
term of such services.
Other
Revenues on camera rentals are recognized over the rental period.
Revenue from the sale of 3D glasses is recognized when the 3D glasses have been delivered to the
customer.
Other service revenues are recognized when the performance of contracted services is complete.
Allowances for Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables
Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are based on the Companys assessment of the
collectibility of specific customer balances, which is based upon a review of the customers credit
worthiness, past collection history and the underlying asset value of the equipment, where
applicable. Interest on overdue accounts receivable is recognized as income as the amounts are
collected.
The Company monitors the performance of the theaters to which it has leased or sold theater systems
which are subject to ongoing payments. When facts and circumstances indicate that there is a
potential impairment in the net investment in lease or a financing receivable, the Company will
evaluate the potential outcome of either renegotiations involving changes in the terms of the
receivable or defaults on the existing lease or financed sale agreements. The Company will record a
provision if it is considered probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
under the contractual terms of the arrangement or a renegotiated lease amount will cause a
reclassification of the sales-type lease to an operating lease. When the net investment in lease or
the financing receivable is impaired, the Company will recognize a valuation allowance for the
difference between the carrying value in the investment and the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate for the net investment in the lease or the
financing receivable. If the Company expects to recover the theater system, the provision is equal
to the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the fair value of the equipment. When
the minimum lease payments for a lease are renegotiated and the lease continues to be classified as
a sales-type lease, the reduction in payments is applied to reduce unearned finance income.
These provisions are adjusted when there is a significant change in the amount or timing of the
expected future cash flows or actual cash flows differ from cash flow previously expected.
Once a net investment in lease or financing receivable is considered impaired, the Company does not
recognize interest income until the collectibility issues are resolved. When finance income is not
recognized, any payments received are applied against outstanding gross minimum lease amounts
receivable or gross receivables from financed sales.

OVERVIEW (contd)
Critical Accounting Policies (contd)
Inventory
In establishing the appropriate provisions for theater system and parts inventory, the Company
makes estimates of future events and conditions, including the anticipated installation dates for
the current backlog of theater system contracts, potential future signings, technology factors,
growth prospects within the customers ultimate marketplace and the market acceptance of the
Companys current and pending theater system configurations and film library. If the Companys
estimates of these events and conditions prove to be incorrect, it could result in inventory losses
in excess of the provisions determined to be adequate as at the balance sheet date.
The Company has, on occasion, reclaimed theater systems from customers who have not fulfilled their
contractual obligations. The valuation of returned theater systems is an area where significant
estimates are made by the Company. The Company considers the configuration of theater systems
returned and its current and anticipated future backlog in determining the fair value of the
returned theater systems. Returned systems from lease arrangements are valued in inventory at the
lower of original cost carrying value or fair value. Returned systems from sales arrangements are
valued in inventory at the lower of carrying cost and fair value.
Asset Impairments
The Company performs an impairment test on its goodwill on an annual basis, coincident with the
year-end, as well as in quarters where events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level by comparing the units carrying value,
including goodwill, to the fair value of the unit. Significant estimates are involved in the
impairment test. The carrying values of each unit are subject to allocations of certain assets and
liabilities that the Company has applied in a systematic and rationale manner. The fair value of
the Companys units is assessed using a discounted cash flow model. The model is constructed using
the Companys budget and long-range plan as a base. The Companys estimates of future cash flows
involve anticipating future revenue streams, which contain many assumptions that are subject to
variability, as well as estimates for future cash outlays, the amounts of which, and the timing of
which are both uncertain. Actual results that differ from the Companys budget and long-range plan
could result in a significantly different result to an impairment test, which could impact
earnings.
Long-lived asset impairment is performed at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. For a
significant portion of long-lived assets, this is the reporting segment unit level used for
goodwill testing.
Pension Plan and Postretirement Benefit Obligations Assumptions
The Companys pension plan and postretirement benefit obligations and related costs are calculated
using actuarial concepts, within the framework of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
87, Employers Accounting for Pensions and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension. A critical assumption to
this accounting is the discount rate. The Company evaluates this critical assumption annually or
when otherwise required to by accounting standards. Other assumptions include factors such as
expected retirement, mortality, rate of compensation increase, and estimates of inflation.
The discount rate enables the Company to state expected future cash payments for benefits as a
present value on the measurement date. The guideline for setting this rate is a high-quality
long-term corporate bond rate. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit
obligations and increases pension expense. The Companys discount rate was determined by
considering the average of pension yield curves constructed of a large population of high-quality
corporate bonds. The resulting discount rate reflects the matching of plan liability cash flows to
the yield curves.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation
As at March 31, 2007, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of $nil. The Companys
management assesses realization of its deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order
to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Available evidence considered by the Company includes, but is not limited to, the Companys
historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary
differences, contracted sales backlog at March 31, 2007, changing business circumstances, and the
ability to realize certain deferred tax assets through loss and tax credit carryback strategies. At
March 31, 2007, the Company has determined that insufficient positive evidence exists to conclude
that the deferred tax assets will be realized within the evaluation period.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation (contd)
When there is a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of
the deferred tax assets, the Company would adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation
allowance in the period when such changes occur.
Tax Exposures
The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Company may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters.
In addition, when applicable, the Company adjusts tax expense to reflect both favorable and
unfavorable examination results. The Companys ongoing assessments of the probable outcomes of
examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can materially increase or decrease its
effective rate as well as impact operating results.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109), (FIN 48), which clarifies the relevant criteria
and approach for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48
was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. The Company has assessed the effects of
the provisions of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle to be
recorded in the first quarter of 2007 is $2.1 million.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for
interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows the irrevocable election of fair value as the
initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities and other
items on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value would be reflected in earnings as
they occur. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with
the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As identified in note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has six
reportable segments identified by category of product sold or service provided: IMAX systems; film
production and IMAX DMR; film distribution; film post-production; theater operations; and other.
The IMAX systems segment designs, manufactures, sells or leases and maintains IMAX theater
projection system equipment. The film production and IMAX DMR segment produces films and performs
film re-mastering services. The film distribution segment distributes films for which the Company
has distribution rights. The film post-production segment provides film post-production and film
print services. The theater operations segment owns and operates certain IMAX theaters. The other
segment includes camera rentals and other miscellaneous items. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Companys Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
have been organized and discussed with respect to the above stated segments. Management feels that
a discussion and analysis is based on its segments is significantly more relevant as the Companys
consolidated statements of operations caption combine results from several segments.

IMAX systems revenue increased to $13.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $12.8 million in
the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 2.5%. Revenue from sales and sales-type leases decreased
to $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2006, a
decrease of 5.5%, mainly due to the mix of theater system sales in the quarter. The Company also
recognized $nil in settlement revenue during each of the first quarters of 2007and 2006.
The Company recognized revenue on five theater systems which qualified as either sales or
sales-type leases in each of the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. There were four new theater
systems with a value of $5.8 million recognized into revenue in the first quarter of 2007 compared
to three new theater systems with a total value of $5.4 million recognized in the first quarter of
2006. One of the theater systems recognized in 2007 related to the sale of a used theater system
versus two used theater systems in the first quarter of 2006. The aggregate sales value of the used
systems sold in 2007 totaled $0.5 million compared to $1.2 million for the used systems sold in the
first quarter of 2006.
Average revenue per sales and sales-type lease systems was consistent in each of the first quarters
of 2007 and 2006 at $1.3 million.

Ongoing rent revenue increased to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $2.2 million in
2006 an increase of 17.2%. Revenues from joint revenue sharing arrangements, included in ongoing
rent, increased from $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $0.4 million in the first quarter
of 2007. The Company had the same five joint revenue sharing arrangements in each of these periods.
Maintenance revenue increased 8.5% to $4.1 million over the prior year due to an increase in the
theater network. The Company expects to see an increase in 2007 compared to 2006 in both ongoing
rent and maintenance revenue as the Companys theater network continues to grow in 2007.
Film segment revenues increased to $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $6.0 million in
the first quarter of 2006, due primarily to an increase in IMAX DMR, slightly offset by a decrease
in film post-production revenues. Film production and IMAX DMR revenues increased to $4.6 million
in the first quarter of 2007 from $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in film
production and IMAX DMR revenues was due primarily to IMAX DMR revenues gross box office
performance of 300: An IMAX Experience, released in March 2007 and the continued success of Night
at the Museum: An IMAX Experience, released in December 2006, which together performed better than
the 2006 release of V for Vendetta: An IMAX Experience, released in March 2006, and the first
quarter performance of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience, released in
November 2005. Film distribution revenues remained consistent at $3.4 million in both first
quarters of 2007 and 2006. Film post-production revenues decreased to $1.1 million in the first
quarter of 2007 from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2006, mainly due to a decrease in third
party business at the Companys post-production unit.
Theater operations revenue increased to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 from $3.7 million
in the first quarter of 2006, due to an increase in attendance and average ticket prices of
approximately 1.8% and 21.4%, respectively.
Other revenue decreased to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $0.8 million in
the same period in 2006. Other revenue primarily includes revenue generated from the Companys
camera and rental business and after market sales of projection system parts.
Outlook
Theater system installations slip from period to period in the course of the Companys business,
and the Company has seen a significant number of theater system installations originally
anticipated for the third and fourth quarters of 2006 move to anticipated installations for 2007
and beyond. The Company currently has 22 complete theater systems in its backlog that it
anticipates will be installed in 2007, however it cautions that slippages remain a recurring and
unpredictable part of its business.
The Company has signed agreements with Sony Pictures and WB respectively, for the release of IMAX
DMR versions of Spider Man 3: The IMAX Experience which was released in May of 2007, 300: The IMAX
Experience which was released in March 2007 and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An IMAX
3D Experience which was released in July of 2007. In November 2007, the Company in conjunction with
Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and WB will release Beowulf: An IMAX 3D Experience.
The Company also has an agreement with WB to release The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience, the next
installment of WBs Batman franchise, in July 2008. In conjunction with WB, the Company has also
commenced production on a sequel to Deep Sea 3D, scheduled for release in 2009.

Outlook (contd)
The Company supplements its sale and lease of theater systems by offering clients joint revenue
sharing arrangements, whereby the Company contributes its theater systems, accounted for at its
manufactured cost for manufactured components and at the Companys replacement cost for purchased
components. Under some arrangements, the client contributes its retrofitted auditorium and there is
a negotiated split of box-office revenues and concession revenues. The Company believes that, by
offering such arrangements where exhibitors do not need to pay the initial capital required in a
lease or a sale, the Companys theater network can be expanded more rapidly, and provide the
Company with a significant portion of the IMAX box-office from its theaters, as well as greater
revenue from the studios releasing IMAX DMR films, for which the Company typically receives a
percentage of the studios box-office receipts. In addition to the 5 joint revenue sharing
arrangements in operation at the end of the first quarter 2007, the Company installed three
additional joint revenue sharing theaters during the second quarter of 2007.
The Company believes that digital technology has evolved sufficiently that it can develop an IMAX
digital projection system that delivers high quality imagery consistent with the Companys brand to
deliver to theaters by early 2009. The Company believes that the dramatic print cost savings that
would result from an IMAX digital system could lead to more profitability for the Company by
increasing the number of films released to the IMAX network, which in turn could result in more
theaters in the Companys network, more profits per theater and more profits for studios amortizing
their films over the network. There are a number of risks inherent in the Companys digital
strategy including the risk of exhibitors delaying theater system purchases during the Companys
transition period to digital, and the need to finance the Companys investments necessary
for implementing this strategy. In addition, the Companys theater system contracts are
increasingly including provisions providing for customer upgrades to digital systems, when
available. The accounting impact of such provisions may include the deferral of some or all of the
revenue (though not the cash) associated with such system until the time of such digital upgrade.
Such deferral could result in a significant increase in the Companys deferred revenue accounts and
a significant decrease in the Companys reported profits prior to the delivery of the digital
upgrade. The Companys goal is to create a digital product that provides a differentiated
experience to moviegoers that is consistent with what they have come to expect from the IMAX brand.
The Company believes that transitioning from a film-based platform to a digital platform for a
large portion of its customer base is compelling for a number of reasons. The savings to the
studios as a result of eliminating film prints are considerable, as the typical cost of an IMAX
film print ranges from $22.5 thousand per 2D print to $45 thousand per 3D print. Removing those
costs will significantly increase the profit of an IMAX release for a studio which, the Company
believes, provides more incentive for studios to release their films to IMAX theaters. The Company
similarly believes that economics change favorably for its exhibition clients as a result of a
digital transition, since lower print costs and the increased programming flexibility that digital
delivery provides should allow theaters to program three to four additional IMAX DMR films per
year, thereby increasing both customer choice and total box-office revenue. Finally, digital
transmission allows for the opportunity to show attractive alternate programming, such as live
events like the Super Bowl or World Cup, in the immersive environment of an IMAX theater.
Gross Margin
The gross margin across all segments in the first quarter of 2007 was $11.4 million, or 41.9% of
total revenue, compared to $8.0 million, or 34.3% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2006.
The increase in gross margin for the first quarter of 2007 is largely driven by the improved
performance in the film segment.
IMAX theater systems margin was 57.7% in the first quarter of 2007, which was consistent with 57.5%
experienced in the first quarter of 2006. Gross margins on sale of new systems was 54.4% in the
first quarter of 2007 compared to 47.3% in the prior year quarter. Gross margins on the sale of
used system in the first quarter of 2007 was 100% compared to 95.3% for the two used systems
recognized in the prior year quarter.
The Companys gross margin from its film segment increased in the first quarter of 2007 by $3.4
million. Film production and IMAX DMR gross margin increased by $2.9 million due primarily to the
successful releases of 300: An IMAX Experience and Night at the Museum: An IMAX Experience. Film
distribution margin increased by $0.8 million primarily due to higher margins earned on the mix of
films in release during the current quarter versus the prior year quarter. Film post-production
gross margin decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to a change in mix between internal and third
party business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (contd)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 (contd)
Gross Margin (contd)
Theatre operations margin decreased $0.1 million in Q1 2007 as compared to first quarter of 2006
primarily due to higher film rentals fees (related to the strong box office performance of 300: The
IMAX Experience) partially offset by the impact of higher revenues.
Other gross margin decreased slightly by $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, primarily as a
result of increased activity from the Companys camera and rental business.
Other
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 which
included $0.8 million of legal fees as the Company incurred costs to respond to inquiries made by
the SEC and OSC. Excluding these costs, selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.5
million in the first quarter of 2007 versus $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2006. The $1.1
million decrease included a decrease in the Companys SERP as it amended its Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the SERP) on March 8, 2006 to reduce certain benefits, resulting in savings of
$0.5 million in compensation expense for first quarter of 2007 compared to same quarter in 2006.
There was also a decrease in professional fees of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2007 as the
Company incurred SFAS 123R implementation costs and costs to amend the SERP in the prior year
period. Compensation expenses decreased by $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2007 as the
Company incurred lower severance costs and employee bonus accruals. Partially offsetting these
decreases was an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation for employees of $0.2 million during
the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year quarter. Non-cash stock-based compensation
includes stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted
shares issued to employees. The
Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to
a gain of less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2006. The Company records foreign exchange
translation gains and losses primarily on a portion of its financing receivable balances which are
denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and Japanese Yen.
Receivable
provisions net of recoveries for accounts receivable and financing
receivables amounted to a net provision of less
than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared to a net provision of $0.1 million in the
first quarter of 2006.
Interest income decreased slightly to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $0.3
million in the prior year quarter.
Interest expense remained consistent $4.2 million for both first quarters of 2007 and 2006.
Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred finance costs in the amount of $0.2
million and $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, relating to the
Senior Notes due 2010. The Companys policy is to defer and amortize all the costs relating to a
debt financing over the life of the debt instrument.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and will vary from year to
year primarily as a result of numerous permanent differences, investments and other tax credits,
the provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions,
enacted statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the year, changes in the Companys valuation
allowance based on the Companys recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets, and favorable
or unfavorable resolution of various tax examinations. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had a
gross deferred income tax asset of $53.8 million, against which the Company is carrying a $53.8
million valuation allowance.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses amounted to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007
compared to $0.9 million in 2006. The expenses primarily reflect research and development
activities pertaining to a new digitally-based theater projector. Through research and development,
the Company continues to design and develop cinema-based equipment, software and other technologies
to enhance its product offering. The Company believes that the motion picture industry will be
affected by the development of digital technologies, particularly in the areas of content creation (image capture),
post-production (editing and special effects), distribution and display. Consequently, the Company
has made significant investments in digital technologies, including the development of proprietary,
patent-pending technology related to a digitally-based projector, as well as technologies to
digitally enhance image resolution and quality of motion picture films, and convert monoscopic (2D)
to stereoscopic (3D) images. The Company also holds a number of patents, patents pending and
intellectual property rights in these areas.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Versus Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 (contd)
Research and Development (contd)
The motion picture industry is in the early stages of transitioning from film projection to digital
projection, and the Company itself is developing a digitally-based projector. In recent years, a
number of companies have introduced digital 3D projection technology and a small number of
Hollywood features have been exhibited in 3D using these technologies. The Company believes that
its many competitive strengths, including the IMAX® brand name, the quality and immersiveness of
The IMAX Experience, its IMAX DMR technology and its patented theater geometry, significantly
differentiate the Companys 3D presentations from any other 3D presentations.
Discontinued Operations
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The Company
completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater in the
first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company had been estimated
as between $0.9 million and $2.3 million. Prior to 2006, the Company paid out $0.8 million with
respect to amounts owing to the landlord. The Company paid out an additional $0.1 million and also
accrued $0.8 million in net loss from discontinued operations related to Miami IMAX Theater in
2006. On January 4, 2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company
paid out a final $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord.
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International (DPI), entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a
payment of $3.5 million. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recognized $2.3 million in
income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement.
Pension Plan Amendment
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the unfunded U.S. defined
benefit pension plan, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the SERP ) covering its two
Co-CEOs which reduced the related pension expense to the Company. Under the original terms of the
SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually to the cost of living and
further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse. The Company was represented
by the independent directors (as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and
Section 1.4 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (Independent Directors)), who retained Mercer Human
Resources Consulting (Mercer) and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses
regarding the SERP. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce the ongoing costs to the
Company, the cost of living adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs
are each reduced by 50%, subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of
control of the Company, and the net present value of the reduced benefit payments is accelerated
and paid out upon a change of control of the Company. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000,
the SERP initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception
until age 55. The vesting percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than by
voluntary retirement or upon change of control shall be 100%. As of March 31, 2007, one of the
Co-CEOs was 100% vested and the other Co-CEOs was approximately 83% vested.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Facility
On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement for a secured revolving credit
facility as amended on June 30, 2005 and as further amended by the Second Amendment to the Loan
Agreement which was entered into with effect from May 16, 2006 (the Credit Facility). The Credit
Facility is a revolving credit facility expiring on October 31, 2009 with an optional one year
renewal thereafter contingent upon approval by the lender, permitting maximum aggregate borrowings
of $40.0 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation which includes the Companys financing
receivables, operating leases, finished goods inventory and capital assets with certain reserve
requirements and deductions for outstanding letters of credit. As at March 31, 2007, the Companys
current borrowing capacity under such calculation is $22.4 million after deduction for outstanding
letters of credit of $10.6 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at the applicable prime rate
per annum or LIBOR plus a margin as specified therein per annum and is collateralized by a first
priority security interest in all of the current and future assets of the Company. The Credit
Facility contains typical affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the
Companys ability to: incur certain additional indebtedness; make certain loans, investments or
guarantees; pay dividends; make certain asset sales; incur certain liens or other encumbrances;
conduct certain transactions with affiliates and enter into certain corporate transactions. In
addition, the Credit Facility agreement contains customary events of default, including upon an
acquisition or a change of control that may have a material adverse effect on the Company or a
guarantor. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain, over a period of time, a
minimum level of cash collections and a minimum level of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization including film asset amortization, stock and non-cash compensation,
write downs (recoveries), and asset impairment charges, and other non-cash uses of funds trailing
four quarter basis on a calculated quarterly, of not less than $20.0 million.
The Company was in compliance with its adjusted EBITDA covenant as of March 31, 2007.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for certain
periods during fiscal years 2002 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender waived the
requirement for the Company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of
the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents are
delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that an
event of default would not deemed to have occurred unless the Companys 10-K filing does not occur
by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Companys
indenture governing its Senior Notes, which goes uncured within the application grace period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As at March 31, 2007, the Companys principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash
equivalents of $25.3 million, short-term investments of $2.1 million, the Credit Facility, trade
accounts receivable of $18.7 million and anticipated collection from financing receivables due in
the next 12 months of $11.9 million. As at March 31, 2007, the Company has not drawn down on the
Credit Facility, and has letters of credit for $10.6 million secured by the Credit Facility
arrangement.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations together with existing cash and borrowing
available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund the Companys business operations,
including its strategic initiatives relating to joint revenue sharing arrangements and to fund the
development of its digitally-based projection system. The Company similarly believes it will be
able to continue to meet customer commitments for at least the 12 month period commencing December
31, 2006. However, the Companys operating cash flow will be adversely impacted if managements
projections of future signings and installations are not realized. The Company forecasts its
short-term liquidity requirements on a quarterly and annual basis. Since the Companys future cash
flows are based on estimates and there may be factors that are outside of the Companys control
(see Risk Factors in Item 1A in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006), there is no guarantee the Company will continue to be able to fund its
operations through cash flows from operations. Under the terms of the Companys typical theater
system component lease agreement, the Company receives substantial cash payments before the Company
completes the performance of its obligations. Similarly, the Company receives cash payments for
some of its film productions in advance of related cash expenditures.
The Companys net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is impacted by a number of
factors, including the proceeds associated with new signings of theater system component lease and
sale agreements in the year, costs associated with contributing systems under joint box-office
sharing arrangements, the box-office performance of large-format films distributed by the Company
and/or exhibited in the Companys theaters, increases or decreases in the Companys operating
expenses, including research and development, and the level of cash collections received from its
customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (contd)
Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $0.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2007.
Changes in other non-cash operating assets as compared to December 31, 2006 include a $0.2 million
increase in commissions and other deferred selling expenses, a decrease of $0.2 million in
inventories, a decrease of $0.1 million in financing receivables, a $7.3 million decrease in
accounts receivable and a $0.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses, which mostly relates to
prepaid film print costs that will be expensed over the period to be benefited. Changes in other
non-cash operating liabilities as compared to December 31, 2006 include an increase in deferred
revenue of $1.0 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $6.2 million and a decrease of $1.0
million in accrued liabilities. Included in accrued liabilities for the period ended March 31, 2007
were $26.4 million in respect of accrued pension obligations which are mostly long-term in nature.
Investments in film assets were $1.3 million.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, which
includes purchases of short-term investments of $2.1 million, proceeds from maturities of
short-term investments of $2.1 million, purchases of $0.1 million in fixed assets, an increase in
other assets of $0.3 million and an increase in other intangible assets of $0.1 million.
Cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2007 amounted to $nil million.
Capital expenditures including the purchase of fixed assets and investments in film assets were
$1.4 million for the first quarter of 2007.
Cash used in operating activities amounted to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Changes in other non-cash operating assets and liabilities include a decrease in accounts payable
of $1.6 million, an increase in accrued liabilities of $2.2 million, an increase in deferred
revenue of $0.3 million, and an increase of $2.4 million in inventories. Cash used by investing
activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 amounted to $0.4 million, primarily consisting of
$4.1 million invested in short-term investments and $4.1 million received from proceeds of
short-term investments. Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $0.3 million due to the
issuance of common shares through the exercise of stock options. Capital expenditures including the
purchase of fixed assets net of sales proceeds and investments in film assets were $1.7 million for
the first quarter of 2006.
Letters of Credit and Other Commitments
As at March 31, 2007, the Company has letters of credit of $10.6 million outstanding, of
which the entire balance has been secured by the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company has
performance guarantees outstanding of $0.6 million that have been guaranteed through Export
Development Canada.
Senior Notes due 2010
As at March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding $159.0 million aggregate principal of Registered
Senior Notes and $1.0 million aggregate principal of Unregistered Senior Notes. The Registered
Senior Notes and the Unregistered Senior Notes are referred to herein as the Senior Notes.
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes impose certain restrictions on its operating and financing
activities, including certain restrictions on the Companys ability to: incur certain additional
indebtedness; make certain distributions or certain other restricted payments; grant liens; create
certain dividend and other payment restrictions affecting the Companys subsidiaries; sell certain
assets or merge with or into other companies; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
The Company believes these restrictions will not have a material impact on its financial condition
or results of operations.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the required public company filing deadline due to the discovery of
certain accounting errors, broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting
matters based on comments received by the Company from the SEC and OSC, and ultimately restated
financial statements for certain periods during those years. The filing delay resulted in the
Company being in default of a financial reporting covenant under the indenture dated as of December
4, 2003, and as thereafter amended and supplemented, governing the Companys Senior Notes due 2010
(the Indenture).
Page 46

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations(contd)
Senior Notes due 2010 (contd)
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from holders of
approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Consenting Holders) to
execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture with the
Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture waived any
defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the reporting
covenant and extended until May 31, 2007, or at the Companys election until June 30, 2007 (the
Covenant Reversion Date), the date by which the Companys failure to comply with the reporting
covenant shall constitute a default, or be the basis for an event of default under the Indenture.
The Company paid consent fees of $1.0 million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the
Company provided notice to the holders of the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant
Reversion Date to June 30, 2007. The Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the
Consenting Holders. Because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007
by June 30, 2007, it was in default of the reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007,
and received notice of such default on July 2, 2007. The Company will cure such default under the
Indenture, which provides for a 30-day cure period for defaults under the reporting covenant, by
filing the 10-K and this 10-Q by the end of the 30-day cure period.
Pension and Postretirement Obligations
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan, the SERP, covering its two Co-CEOs. As at March 31,
2007, the Company had an unfunded and accrued projected benefit obligation of approximately $26.4
million (December 31, 2006 $26.1 million) in respect of the SERP. At the time the Company
established the SERP, it also took out life insurance policies on its two Co-CEOs with coverage
amounts of $21.5 million in aggregate. The Company intends to use the proceeds of life insurance
policies taken on its Co-CEOs to be applied towards the benefits due and payable under the SERP,
although there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately do so. As at March 31, 2007,
the cash surrender value of the insurance policies is $4.5 million (December 31, 2005 $4.3
million).
In July 2000, the Company agreed to maintain health benefits for its two Co-CEOs upon retirement.
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had an unfunded benefit obligation of $0.4 million (December
31, 2005 $0.4 million).
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP covering its two
Co-CEOs effective January 1, 2006 which reduced the related pension expense to the Company. Under
the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually to the
cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse. The
Company represented by the Independent Directors, who retained Mercer Human Resources Consulting
(Mercer) and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses regarding the SERP. Under
the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce the ongoing costs to the Company, the cost of living
adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs are each reduced by 50%,
subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of control of the Company,
and the net present value of the reduced benefit payments is accelerated and paid out upon a change
of control of the Company. The amendment resulted in a credit to accumulated other comprehensive
income of $2.8 million, a reduction of pension assets of $3.4 million, and a reduction in the
accrued pension liability of $6.2 million. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the SERP
initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception until age
55. The vesting percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than by voluntary
retirement or upon change of control shall be 100%. As of March 31, 2007, one of the Co-CEOs
benefits were 100% vested and the other Co-CEOs benefits were approximately 83% vested.
A Co-CEO who retires prior to August 1, 2010 will receive SERP benefits in the form of monthly
annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or August 1, 2010 at which time the
Co-CEO shall receive remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum payment. A Co-CEO who retires on
or after August 1, 2010 shall receive SERP benefits in the form of a lump sum payment.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future material effect on the Companys financial condition.

Quantitative and Qualitative Factors about Market Risk |
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company does
not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
A majority of the Companys revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars while a significant portion of
its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the Companys net U.S.
dollar flows is converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot
market. In Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations. Net
Japanese yen cash flows are converted to U.S. dollars through the spot market. The Company also has
cash receipts under leases denominated in Japanese yen, Euros and Canadian dollars. The Company
plans to convert Japanese yen and Euros lease cash flows to U.S. dollars through the spot markets
on a go-forward basis.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, to allow
timely discussions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the
effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of
human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even
effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their control objectives.
The Companys management, with the participation of its Co-CEOs and its CFO, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2007. Based on that evaluation,
the Co-CEOs and the CFO have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective as at March 31, 2007. In making this evaluation, management considered, among other
matters: the identification of certain material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting, as discussed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K (and as described below); and the
conclusion of the Co-CEOs and the CFO that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as at
December 31, 2006 were not effective, as discussed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K.
MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated
financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of the Companys 2006 Form 10-K, the Companys Co-CEOs and CFO
assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and
concluded that the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
existed as at December 31, 2006, all of which had not yet been
remediated as at March 31, 2007:

MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (contd)
Application of U.S. GAAP
Five of the Companys material weaknesses relate to controls over the analysis and review of
certain transactions to be able to correctly apply U.S. GAAP to record those transactions. The
financial impact of these material weaknesses on the Companys restated financial results was
principally related to the analysis and review of transactions which were complex or
nonstandard. These material weaknesses are:
|
1. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over the
analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in accordance with
U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to correctly assess the
identification of deliverables and their aggregation into units of accounting and in certain
cases the point when certain units of accounting were substantially complete to allow for
revenue recognition on a theatre system. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, the Company did not have effective controls over other aspects of such transactions
including identifying the fair values of certain future deliverables,
identifying certain clauses in arrangements that impact revenue
recognition accounting for warranty costs, the appropriate accounting for certain settlement agreements and the recognition of
finance income on impaired receivables. |
|
|
2. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective
controls were not maintained related to the classification and accurate recording of marketing
and advertising costs of co-produced film productions, production fees on co-produced films
and the application of the individual-film forecast computation method to film assets,
participation liabilities and deferred production fees. |
|
|
3. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over the
accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained related to the classification of fees paid to a
professional services firm. |
|
|
4. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate recording of
post-retirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant
contractual provisions within its executive employment contracts. |
|
|
5. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the
provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were
not in place such that the tax provisions were appropriately allocated to continuing
operations, discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. |
Cross-departmental communication
Two of the Companys material weaknesses relate to controls over the lines of communication
between different departments. These material weaknesses are:
|
|
6. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between
operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue recognition for sales
and lease transactions. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to raise on a
timely basis certain issues relating to observations of the installation process, any
remaining installation or operating obligations, and concessions on contractual terms that may
impact the accuracy and timing of revenue recognition. |
|
|
7. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between
departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Companys
financial reporting. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the status of a
review of cap limits under the Companys Stock Option Plan that affected the recording and
related disclosure of stock-based compensation benefits. |
|
|
|
|
In addition to the restatements and audit adjustments discussed in the Companys 2006 Form 10-K,
each of these control deficiencies above could result in a misstatement of certain account
balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Management determined that each of
these control deficiencies set forth above constitutes a material weakness at March 31, 2007. |

Controls and Procedures (contd)
REMEDIATION PLAN
The Companys management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, are committed to remediating its material
weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting by enhancing existing controls and
introducing new controls in all necessary areas. The smooth functioning of the Companys finance
area is of the highest priority for the Companys management. Remediation activities will include
the following specifics:
The Company will strengthen U.S. GAAP awareness throughout all levels of the Finance Department to
help prevent material misstatements. The objective of strengthening U.S. GAAP awareness is to
enable personnel throughout all levels of the Finance Department to recognize complex or atypical
situations in the day-to-day operations which may require further
analysis. Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective effectively.
The Company will enhance cross-functional communications to assist in preventing material
misstatements. The objective of enhancing cross-functional communications is to provide an
effective forum through which all relevant information pertaining to transactions could be sought
by, and communicated to, the Finance Department for consideration of accounting implications.
Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective most effectively and
efficiently.
The Company has revised its revenue recognition policy in the second quarter of 2007. The Company
will enhance its controls in this area by documenting a detailed analysis for all sales and lease
transactions to help ensure that the timing of revenue recognition is appropriate, and that all
contractual provisions have been sufficiently considered in determining the timing and amounts of
revenues to be recognized. As well, to assist in detecting material misstatements, the Company
will enhance its period-end reviews of sales and lease transactions to specifically consider
whether the accounting for these transactions is in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for film transactions. To assist in preventing
material misstatements, the Company will enhance its review of new film transactions for
complexities that may impact the accounting for the transaction and treatment within the films
ultimate model. As well, to assist in detecting material misstatements, the Company will enhance
its period-end reviews of film accounting to specifically consider whether revenues and costs are
being treated in accordance with SOP 00-2.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for costs related to inventory. To assist in
preventing material misstatements, the Company will develop guidelines regarding the nature of
costs that could be capitalized to inventory with appropriate references to U.S. GAAP, which would
be distributed to personnel involved with inventory costs. As well, to assist in detecting
material misstatements, the Company will enhance its period-end reviews of the inventory balances
to specifically consider whether the nature of the costs that comprise inventory balances are in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company will enhance its controls to capture all post-retirement benefits other than pensions
included within executive employment contracts. Management is currently considering various ways
of meeting this objective efficiently and effectively.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for intraperiod allocations of income taxes.
Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective effectively.
The Companys management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, is committed to implementing its
remediation plan as soon as practicable.
CHANGES IN INTENRAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings |
(a) |
|
In March 2005, the Company, together with Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (3DMG),
filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western
Division, against In-Three, Inc. (In-Three) alleging patent infringement. On March 10, 2006,
the Company and In-Three entered into a settlement agreement settling the dispute between the
Company and In-Three. On June 12, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California, Western Division, entered a stay in the proceedings against In-Three pending the
arbitration of disputes between the Company and 3DMG. Arbitration was initiated by the Company
against 3DMG on May 15, 2006 before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New
York, alleging breaches of the license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG.
On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that
the Company breached the parties license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the Arbitration Panel
unanimously denied 3DMGs Motion for Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the
Companys claims and 3DMGs counterclaims. An evidentiary hearing on liability issues has been
set for September 2007 with further proceedings on damages issues to be scheduled if and when
necessary. The Company will continue to pursue its claims vigorously and believes that all
allegations made by 3DMG are without merit. The Company further believes that the amount of
loss, if any, suffered in connection with the counterclaims would not have a material impact
on the financial position or operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given
with respect to the ultimate outcome of the arbitration. |
|
(b) |
|
In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theater Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company,
commenced an arbitration seeking damages of approximately $3.7 million before the
International Court of Arbitration of the International Chambers of Commerce (the ICC) with
respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (EML) of its December 2000 agreement with
the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against
EMLs affiliate, E-CITI Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (E-Citi), seeking $17.8 million in
damages as a result of E-Citis breach of a September 2000 lease agreement. The arbitration
hearing on both claims took place in November 2005. On February 1, 2006, the ICC issued an
award on liability finding unanimously in the Companys favor on all claims. The ICC hearings
to determine the amount of damages to be awarded to the Company took place in July 2006, and a
further hearing took place on December 2006. The ICC panel has not yet rendered its decision
with respect to damages and no amount has yet been recorded for these damages. |
|
(c) |

In June 2004, Robots of Mars, Inc. (Robots) initiated an arbitration proceeding against the
Company in California with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to an arbitration
provision in a 1994 film production agreement between Robots predecessor-in-interest and a
subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and intentional interference with contract. Robots is seeking an accounting of the
Companys revenues and an award of all sums alleged to be due to Robots under the production
agreement, as well as punitive damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
arbitration proceeding and believes the amount of the loss, if any, that may be suffered in
connection with this proceeding will not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such arbitration. |
|
(d) |
|
The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in eight
purported class action lawsuits filed between August 11, 2006 and September 18, 2006, alleging
violations of U.S. federal securities laws. These eight actions were filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuits, brought on behalf of
shareholders who purchased the Companys common stock between October 28, 2004 and August 9,
2006, allege primarily that the defendants engaged in securities fraud by disseminating
materially false and misleading statements during the class period regarding the Companys
revenue recognition of theater system installations, and failing to disclose material
information concerning the Companys revenue recognition practices. These lawsuits seek
unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. On January 18, 2007, the Court
consolidated all eight class action lawsuits and appointed Westchester Capital Management,
Inc. as the lead plaintiff and Abbey Spanier Rodd Abrams & Paradis LLP as lead plaintiffs
counsel. On April 26, 2007, the lead plaintiff and the Company entered into a stipulation
extending the time in which the lead plaintiff must file a consolidated amended complaint
until sixty days after the Company files its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The lawsuit is at a
very early stage and as a result the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss
exposure. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the complaints are meritless
and will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurances can be given with respect to the
outcome of such proceedings. The Company expects to receive reimbursement for costs and
expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages awarded, if
any, subject to certain policy limits. |

A class action lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2006 in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of
Canadian securities laws. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the
Companys securities between February 17, 2006 and August 9, 2006. The lawsuit is in a very
early stage and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs and
expenses. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss exposure. The
Company believes the allegations made against it in the statement of claim are meritless and
will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such proceedings. The Company expects to receive reimbursement for costs
and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages awarded, if
any, subject to certain policy limits. |

On May 10, 2007, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II, a holder of the Companys Senior
Notes, filed a complaint against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
New York County alleging common law fraud, challenging the consent solicitation through which
the Company requested and obtained a waiver of any and all defaults arising from a failure to
comply with the reporting covenant under the Indenture governing the Senior Notes, and seeking
a declaration that the consent solicitation was legally ineffective due to alleged
misstatements made by the Company. The complaint further seeks a declaration that the Company
has defaulted on its reporting obligations under the Indenture as a result of its failure to
timely file its annual and quarterly reports, and the Companys stated expectation that it
will restate certain of the financial statements it filed during the 2001 through 2006 time
period. The litigation is at a preliminary stage and as a result, the Company is not able to
estimate a potential loss exposure. On June 29, 2007, the Company moved to dismiss the
complaint in its entirety. The Company believes the complaint is completely without merit and
intends to vigorously defend the case, although no assurances can be given with respect to the
outcome of such proceedings. |
|
(g) |
|
|
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal
proceedings which, in the opinion of the Companys management, will not materially affect the
Companys financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given
with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. |
There have been no material changes to the factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
