Certain differences in the Company's recorded investments, and its proportional ownership share resulting from the Merger where the investments were recorded at fair value, are amortized to equity in (earnings) or losses over the estimated useful lives the underlying assets and liabilities. Other non-amortizing differences are considered to represent goodwill and are evaluated for impairment annually.

(1)
Represents AMC's investment through the date of the Merger on August 30, 2012 in 4,417,042 common membership units received under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 (Predecessor Tranche 2 Investments). AMC's investment in 12,906,740 common membership units (Predecessor Tranche 1 Investment) was carried at zero cost through the date of the Merger. As of the date of the Merger, the Company's investment in NCM consisted of a single investment tranche (Tranche 1 Investment) consisting of 17,323,782 membership units recorded at fair value (Level 1). As a result of the Rave theatre acquisitions in December of 2012, and as provided under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company received 1,728,988 additional NCM common membership units in 2013 valued at $26,315,000 and is recorded in a new tranche, (Tranche 2 Investment).

(2)
Represents the unamortized portion of the Exhibitor Services Agreement ("ESA") with NCM. Such amounts are being amortized to other theatre revenues over the remainder of the 30 year term of the ESA ending in 2036, using a units-of-revenue method, as described in ASC 470-10-35 (formerly EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues). In connection with the Merger on August 30, 2012, the amounts related to the ESA were adjusted to estimated fair value.

(3)
Represents equity in earnings on the Predecessor Tranche 2 investments only through August 30, 2012. Subsequent to August 30, 2012, represents percentage of ownership equity in earnings for Successor on both Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Investments.

(4)
Two non-cash gains were recorded to adjust the Company's investment balance due to NCM's issuance of 8,688,078 common membership units to other founding members, at a price per share in excess of the Company's average carrying amount per share.

(5)
Distributions received under the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") in fiscal 2012, were allocated among the Predecessor Tranche 1 Investment and the Predecessor Tranche 2 Investments based on the ownership percentages as of the date of the related NCM, Inc. taxable year to which the distribution relates. Post Merger, the TRA was recorded at fair value as an Intangible Asset. Amortization of the TRA intangible asset and cash receipts are recorded to Investment Expense (Income).

(6)
As a result of theatre closings and a related decline in attendance, the NCM Common Unit Adjustment for calendar 2011 called for a reduction in common units. The Company elected to pay NCM $214,000 to retain 16,717 common units effective March 16, 2012. The amount paid to retain the units decreased the amount for exhibitor services agreement available for amortization to advertising income for future periods.

(7)
Certain differences between the Company's carrying value and the Company's share of NCM's membership equity have been identified and are amortized to equity in earnings over the respective lives of the assets and liabilities.

(8)
On December 26, 2013, NCM spun-off its Fathom Events business to a newly formed limited liability company, AC JV, LLC which is owned 32% by each founding member and 4% by NCM. In consideration for the sale, each of the three founding members issued promissory notes of approximately $8,333,000 to NCM. The Company's share of the gain recorded by NCM, as a result of the spin-off, has been excluded from equity in earnings and has been applied as a reduction in the carrying value of AC JV, LLC investment.
