Stock-Based Compensation The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the number of shares is fixed and the exercise price of the Companys employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Flush Lv 1-TNR" FSL="Project"
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans based on the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys pro forma earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows:

An increase in revenues and operating income (earnings before other income/expense and income taxes) from our hotels/resorts division during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period last year partially offset decreases in both revenues and operating income from our theatre division during the same period. The hotels and resorts division benefited from an improving economic environment and an increase in business travel. Theatre division operating results were negatively impacted by a relatively weak slate of movies compared to the same period last year. Increases in revenues and operating income from both the theatre and hotels/resorts divisions, as well as reduced corporate expenses, contributed to the improved performance for the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period last year. As described in more detail below, increased investment income and decreased interest expense also contributed to our increased earnings from continuing operations during our fiscal 2005 second quarter and first half compared to the same periods last year.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Our investment income totaled $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, respectively, compared to $500,000 and $1.1 million during the same periods last year. The increases during the fiscal 2005 periods were the result of interest earned on proceeds received from the sale of the limited-service lodging division in September 2004. The majority of the $195.9 million of cash and cash equivalents noted on our consolidated balance sheet as of November 25, 2004, is currently invested in federal tax-exempt short-term financial instruments. Our estimated effective income tax rate for continuing operations has been lowered to reflect this current method of investment. In addition, $123.1 million in cash is currently being held by intermediaries in conjunction with potential tax deferral opportunities that we are exploring. We are earning taxable interest on these funds. Investment income will continue to exceed prior year amounts in future periods until a further determination of the potential uses of the sale proceeds is made.

Our interest expense totaled $3.8 million and $7.7 million for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $8.4 million during the same periods last year. The decrease was primarily the result of a $37.5 million, or 15.3%, reduction in our long-term debt (including current maturities) at the end of the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to the end of last years first half. Due to the fact that we have paid off all of our outstanding short-term borrowings, consisting of commercial paper, during the first half of fiscal 2005 with cash provided by operating and investing activities, we do not expect our interest expense to change substantially during the remaining quarters of fiscal 2005 other than as a result of the payment of scheduled current maturities of our long-term debt.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Our continuing operations recognized pre-tax gains on disposition of property and equipment totaling $1.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $1.4 million during the prior year same period. The fiscal 2005 gain was primarily the result of the sale of two outlots on existing theatre land parcels. Continuing operations pre-tax gains on disposition of property and equipment for the first half of fiscal 2005 were $2.2 million compared to gains of $1.4 million during the first half of fiscal 2004. The timing of periodic sales of our property and equipment may vary from quarter to quarter, resulting in variations in our gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment. We anticipate periodic additional sales of non-revenue generating property and equipment with the potential for additional gains on disposition from time to time during the remainder of fiscal 2005.

Consistent with the seasonal nature of the motion picture exhibition industry, the second quarter of our fiscal year is typically the slowest period for our theatre division. Although our theatre divisions fiscal 2005 second quarter represented our third-best second quarter results on record, the results lagged behind last years record second quarter results. Contributing to the decreased second quarter operating income and operating margin were decreased box office and concession revenues and slightly increased film rental costs. Due to a very strong summer box office, theatre division revenues for the first half of fiscal 2005 remain slightly ahead of last years comparable period, with operating income and operating margin essentially even with the prior year.

The decrease in our box office receipts and concession revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period last year was due to a decrease in attendance. Our average ticket price increased 2.1% and 2.4%, respectively, during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, partially offsetting the attendance decreases. These increases in our average ticket price were attributable primarily to modest ticket price increases and occurred despite the fact that this years film mix has included more family-orientated movies. Such film fare typically results in more child admissions and a resulting lower average ticket price, compared to last years film product mix which included an unusually high number of R-rated movies. Our average concession sales per person during our fiscal 2005 second quarter and first half increased 8.7% and 5.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. Films that appeal to families and teenagers generally produce greater concession sales compared to more adult-oriented films. Other revenues, which include management fees and pre-show advertising income, were essentially even with last years second quarter, but have decreased during the first half of fiscal 2005 due to the fact that last years revenues (and resulting operating income and operating margin) were favorably impacted by an insurance settlement of approximately $400,000 related to a fire that occurred several years ago at one of our Milwaukee-area theatres. Overall, excluding this settlement, we expect other revenues to meet or exceed prior year levels during fiscal 2005.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Total theatre attendance decreased 10.2% during the second quarter compared to the same period last year. For the first half of fiscal 2005, total attendance was down 1.6% compared to the first half of fiscal 2004. Attendance was particularly weak during September, historically the slowest month of the film year, and October. The second quarter ended with a strong box office week leading up to the traditionally strong movie-going Thanksgiving Day weekend. Overall, however, the audience appeal of this years second quarter films, which included top grossing films The Incredibles and Shark Tale , was not as strong as last years second quarter films, which included Elf , The Matrix Revolutions , Scary Movie 3 and The School of Rock .
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Despite a strong Thanksgiving Day weekend and solid performances by holiday season films such as National Treasure , The Polar Express , Oceans 12 and Meet the Fockers , film product for the third quarter has thus far underperformed compared to the prior year third quarter. Last years third quarter results benefited from the final installment of Lord of the Rings , which was our top grossing movie during fiscal 2004, providing a difficult comparison for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, comparisons to last years results will be negatively impacted by the fact that during this years holiday season, Christmas Eve (the only night of the year on which our theatres close) and Christmas Day were on a Friday and Saturday, which are normally the two biggest movie-going days of the week. As a result, we currently do not expect our fiscal 2005 third quarter operating results for our theatre division to equal last years third quarter results. We also anticipate challenging comparisons to last years results at the beginning of our fiscal 2005 fourth quarter due to the very strong performance of The Passion of The Christ last year. The extended outlook for film product begins to look better in May and beyond, beginning with the final Star Wars installment, which is due to open next May. Revenues for the theatre business and the motion picture industry in general are heavily dependent upon the general audience appeal of available films, together with studio marketing, advertising and support campaigns, all factors over which we have no control.

During the fiscal 2005 second quarter, we opened four additional screens at an existing theatre in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, converted our largest screen in Columbus, Ohio into our fifth Ultra Screen® and closed a three-screen theatre in LaCrosse. We opened three additional screens at a theatre in Oshkosh, Wisconsin early in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 and construction continues on a new Ultra Screen® at our theatre in Oakdale, Minnesota, and a new 12-screen theatre in Saukville, Wisconsin. We expect these 13 new screens to open during our third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2005. We continue to review additional opportunities to add new screens to existing locations and to develop or acquire new locations in and around our existing markets, including recently announced new multi-screen theatres in Green Bay, Racine and East Troy, Wisconsin.

Our hotels and resorts division recognized record revenues for our fiscal 2005 second quarter and its highest second quarter operating income since fiscal 2001. Continued improvement in business travel, particularly from the group travel segment, contributed to the improved results during the second quarter. Food and beverage revenues at our hotels and resorts increased 8.4% during the fiscal 2005 second quarter compared to the same period last year due primarily to the increases in group travel and the resulting increases in catering business. Total revenues and operating income have also increased during the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to the same period last year, with the largest increases coming from our hotels that focus on the individual business traveler (the Pfister and the Hotel Phillips). Operating income increased during the fiscal 2005 second quarter and first half compared to the same periods of fiscal 2004 despite reduced earnings from our timeshare operations due to increased marketing and selling costs and approximately $330,000 and $560,000, respectively, of start-up and preopening costs associated with our Las Vegas condominium hotel and downtown Chicago hotel projects.

The total revenue per available room, or RevPAR, for comparable company-owned properties (excluding the Miramonte Resort) increased 0.8% and 2.0%, respectively, during our fiscal 2005 second quarter and first half compared to the same periods last year. The increases in RevPAR were due entirely to increases in occupancy percentage (number of occupied rooms as a percentage of available rooms) of 2.7 and 2.8 percentage points, respectively, during these same periods. Our overall average daily room rate (ADR) for these comparable properties decreased 3.3% and 1.9%, respectively, during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005, compared to the same periods last year. The improvements in group business travel, which often involve lower negotiated room rates, contributed to the small decline in our ADR during fiscal 2005 to date. As we indicated in prior discussions, we have attempted to retain the integrity of our rate structure during the past several years (a period when others in the industry were heavily discounting), believing that this strategy was in our best long-term interest. As a result, according to data from outside industry sources such as Smith Travel Research, our comparative changes in RevPAR during calendar 2002 and 2003 consistently outperformed others in our segment of the industry. As the economy and the industry recover, it appears that those that heavily discounted or operated in markets that were impacted more severely by the economic downturn are generally now experiencing larger increases in RevPAR and ADR than our hotels and resorts.

The current near-term outlook for the future performance of our hotels and resorts division remains promising. The improvement we experienced during our fiscal 2005 second quarter at our hotels that cater to the group business traveler was very encouraging, as this is a segment of our customer base that typically provides non-room revenues to our hotels and resorts that are a key to returning this division to prior profitability levels. In addition, the individual business travel segment, which was the strength of our fiscal 2005 first quarter, continues to show steady improvement. We remain pleased with the advanced booking pace at our hotels, with our fiscal 2005 fourth quarter in particular looking very encouraging, based upon business already booked for this time period. As a result, based on the current trends and subject to continued improvement in economic conditions, we currently expect our division operating results to continue to improve during the remainder of fiscal 2005, with cost controls remaining a high priority.

Construction on our Las Vegas condominium hotel joint venture, the Platinum Suite Hotel & Spa, is about to begin, with a targeted opening date in Spring 2006. Construction continues on a company-owned hotel in downtown Chicago, Illinois that was originally expected to be a Baymont Inn & Suites. This project was not included in the sale of our limited-service lodging division and has been taken over by our hotels and resorts division. We expect to determine the proper brand for this location in the very near future. With a targeted opening date in Spring 2005, we expect to incur additional preopening expenses and other initial start-up losses from this hotel and the Las Vegas project during the second half of fiscal 2005. We also continue to pursue several new growth opportunities, with a focus on expanding our hotel management business. A number of the projects that we are currently exploring may also include some small equity investments.

Discontinued Operations
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
On September 3, 2004, we sold substantially all of the assets of our limited-service lodging division to La Quinta Corporation of Dallas, Texas for a total purchase price of approximately $415 million in cash. La Quinta purchased our Baymont Inns & Suites, Woodfield Suites and Budgetel Inns brands, substantially all of the divisions real estate and related assets and assumed the operation of 90 company-owned and operated Baymont Inns & Suites, seven Woodfield Suites, one Budgetel Inn and the 87-unit Baymont franchise system (including four joint venture Baymont Inns & Suites that were excluded from the transaction and have become franchisees). Our net proceeds to the Company as of the end of the fiscal 2005 second quarter, before the payment of income taxes resulting from the gain on sale, were approximately $345 million, net of transaction costs and excluding approximately $40 million in proceeds held in escrow pending completion of certain customary transfer requirements on nine locations. The net proceeds amount above excludes approximately $19 million of proceeds related to the sale of four joint venture properties. The assets sold to date consist primarily of land, buildings and equipment with a net book value of approximately $232 million. As a result, we reported an after-tax gain on sale of discontinued operations of approximately $71 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Upon completion of the transfer requirements associated with the $40 million in funds currently held in escrow, assets with a net book value of approximately $25 million will be sold and we would expect to report additional after-tax gains on sale of approximately $8 to 9 million in future periods.

Our fiscal 2005 second quarter operating results included one week of operations prior to completion of the sale, as well as results from four of our joint venture Baymont Inns & Suites that were excluded from the transaction and are now operating as Baymont franchises. One of the four remaining joint venture properties was sold early in our fiscal 2005 third quarter and we are currently exploring opportunities to sell the remaining three properties. The limited-service lodging divisions operating loss and loss from discontinued operations, net of applicable taxes, during the fiscal 2005 second quarter included various costs associated with exiting the business, including approximately $1.8 million of severance related costs.

Operating results for the Miramonte Resort for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2005 increased slightly over prior year results primarily due to an increase in revenues as a result of the recently opened spa. Our fiscal 2005 third quarter results will only include one week of operations of the Miramonte Resort prior to completion of the sale.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Our movie theatre and hotels/resorts businesses each generate significant and consistent daily amounts of cash because each segments revenue is derived predominantly from consumer cash purchases. We believe that these relatively consistent and predictable cash sources, together with the funds from our sale of the limited-service lodging division and the sale of our Miramonte Resort, as well as the availability of $125 million of unused credit lines as of the end of the second quarter, should be adequate to support the near-term anticipated ongoing operational liquidity needs of our businesses.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $39.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2005 to $9.7 million, compared to $49.5 million during the prior years first half. The decrease was due primarily to $46.3 million in income taxes related to the gain on sale of the limited-service lodging division as well as the collection of a large note receivable last year, resulting in an unfavorable comparison in collections of accounts and notes receivable, partially offset by improved operating results.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Net cash provided by investing activities during the fiscal 2005 first half totaled $202.2 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $18.7 million during the fiscal 2004 first half. Our fiscal 2005 results include $345.1 million of net proceeds from the disposal of our limited-service lodging division, of which $123.1 million was invested with intermediaries in conjunction with potential tax deferral opportunities that we are exploring. Capital expenditures totaled $24.0 million during the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to $20.3 million during the prior years first half. Fiscal 2005 first half capital expenditures included $10.5 million incurred in our hotels and resorts division, the majority of which was related to the downtown Chicago development recently absorbed by that division. In addition, we incurred capital expenditures of approximately $9.0 million in our theatre division related to the previously identified growth projects and $3.5 million in our limited-service lodging division related to previously committed capital projects.

Net cash used in financing activities during the first half of fiscal 2005 totaled $25.7 million compared to $29.7 million during the first half of fiscal 2004. Excess cash available during the first half of both fiscal years was used to reduce our outstanding commercial paper borrowings during the periods. Our principal payments on notes payable and long-term debt totaled $37.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2005 compared to $27.7 million during the same period last year. New debt of $10.5 million related to the Chicago project was added during the first half of fiscal 2005, compared to no new debt added during the same period last year. Our debt capitalization ratio (long-term debt, including current maturities, divided by shareholders equity plus long-term debt, including current maturities) was 0.30 at November 25, 2004, compared to 0.38 at the prior fiscal year-end, with the decrease attributable to reduced debt levels and an increase in shareholders equity due to the significant gain on sale of the limited-service lodging division.
MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project"
Based upon our current expectations for fiscal 2005 capital expenditure levels and the receipt of asset sales proceeds from the Miramonte sale and funds currently held in escrow from the limited-service lodging division, we currently anticipate that our debt-capitalization ratio will decrease further during the remainder of fiscal 2005. Our actual long-term debt total and debt-capitalization ratio at the end of fiscal 2005 will be dependent upon our decisions regarding the use of the limited-service lodging division sale proceeds. We are actively evaluating the potential uses of the sale proceeds. We are committed to growing our two remaining divisions and we will also consider other opportunities and uses of the proceeds. We intend to be patient in assessing these opportunities to ensure that all uses of the proceeds are in the best interests of our shareholders.

The actual timing and extent of the implementation of our current expansion plans will depend in large part on industry and general economic conditions, our financial performance and available capital, the competitive environment, evolving customer needs and trends and the availability of attractive opportunities.
