Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
     This current report including the exhibits attached hereto may contain “forward-looking statements” including, but not limited to, references to future capital expenditures, business and technology strategies and measures to implement strategies, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of business and operations, plans and references to the future success of the Company and expectations regarding the Company’s 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, actual results and developments are 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; conditions in the in-home and out-of-home entertainment industries; changes in laws or regulations; conditions and developments in the commercial exhibition industry; the acceptance of the Company’s new technologies; 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. All of the forward-looking statements made in this current 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. These and other risk factors are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and in the subsequent reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
