·
|
our
EBITDA(1)
for the 2009 June quarter was $16.7 million compared to $9.2 million in
the 2008 quarter, an increase of
80.7%;
|
·
|
for
the 2009 six months our EBITDA(1)
was $21.9 million compared to $16.2 million in 2008, an increase of
35.6%;
|
·
|
we
had significant local currency cinema revenue growth in both Australia and
New Zealand, with Australia showing a 33% increase and New Zealand a 15.5%
increase over the June quarter in 2008. In Australia, in local
currency, this quarter’s revenue at AUS$27.0 million was a record
high;
|
·
|
the
first fully comparable quarter to the prior year in our US cinema
operations, since our Consolidated Entertainment acquisition resulted in a
revenue increase for such operations of $1.0 million or 3.6%, over the
prior year quarter;
|
·
|
we
reduced our general and administrative expenses by 13.8% for the quarter
and 9.7% for the half year, compared to prior
year;
|
·
|
during
first quarter of 2009, we reacquired 45.8% of our outstanding Trust
Preferred Securities (“TPS”) for $11.5 million thereby extinguishing $22.9
million of our debt related to these securities on April 30,
2009. This resulted in us recognizing an $11.5 million gain on
retirement of subordinated debt in the current quarter offset by a $0.7
million write off of deferred financing costs associated with this
transaction;
|
·
|
the
anticipated purchaser of our Auburn property elected not to proceed,
allowing us to take into income $1.5 million (AUS$2.0 million) in
previously made option payments;
|
·
|
the
decrease in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars vis-à-vis
the US dollar from $0.9562 and $0.7609, respectively, as of June 30, 2008
to $0.8055 and $0.6447, respectively, as of June 30, 2009, had
a dampening effect on our reported operational earnings for the
2009 quarter compared to the 2008 quarter even though our operational
income in the local currencies increased by 47.2% in Australia and 43.0%
in New Zealand; and
|
·
|
primarily
as a result of the stronger operating income, the TPS gain, and the fact
that both the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar have recaptured
some of their value since year end, when such currencies traded at $0.6983
and $0.5815, respectively, our stockholders’ equity has risen to $93.8
million at June 30, 2009 compared to $69.4 million at December 31,
2008.
|
·
|
the
$10.7 million gain on the retirement of our TPS
debt;
|
·
|
the
$1.5 million gain from Auburn option
payments;
|
·
|
the
$549,000 loss on transfer of
Auburn;
|
·
|
the
realized transactional currency loss of $2.2 million;
and
|
·
|
the
$1.3 million other than temporary loss on our Becker marketable
securities.
|
·
|
the
$2.5 million gain on sale of Botany;
and
|
·
|
the
$1.7 million in one-time and realized transactional currency
gains.
|
·
|
the
$10.7 million gain on the retirement of our TPS
debt;

|
the
$549,000 loss on transfer of
Auburn;
|
·

the

and
|
·
|
the
$2.1 million other than temporary loss on our Becker available-for-sale
shares.
|

|
the
$2.5 million gain on sale of Botany;
and

the
$2.8 million in one-time and realized transactional currency
gains.

development, ownership and operation of multiplex cinemas in the United
States, Australia and New Zealand;
and
|
·
|

in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, including
entertainment-themed retail centers (“ETRC”) in Australia and New Zealand
and live theater assets in Manhattan and Chicago in the United
States.
