NOTE 3—ACQUISITION

        In December 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 4 theatres and 61 screens from Rave Reviews Cinemas, LLC and 6 theatres and 95 screens from Rave Digital Media, LLC, (and together "Rave"). The purchase price for the Rave theatres, paid in cash at closing, was $87,555,000, net of cash acquired, and is subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments.

        The acquisitions are being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment. The allocation of purchase price is subject to changes as an appraisal of assets and liabilities is finalized and additional information becomes available. The following is a summary of a preliminary allocation of the purchase price:

Receivables consist of trade receivables recorded at estimated fair value. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivables as a result of the acquisition of the Rave theatres.

(2)
Goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations. Amounts recorded for goodwill are not subject to amortization, but are expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

        During the period of August 31, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs for the Rave theatres of approximately $157,000, which are included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's operating results for the Transition Period were not materially impacted by this December acquisition. Approximately $315,000 of the estimated purchase price was accrued but not paid as of December 31, 2012.
