The aggregate net cash purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired for each of the respective theatre locations based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. The allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors. The results of operations of the five acquired theatres have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the acquisition date.
