      been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
      for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
      Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all
      adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
      fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and

      The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
      with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year

      ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires

      as defined, to redeem up to an aggregate of 35% of the principal amount of
      the notes originally issued at a redemption price of 110.5% plus any

7.    INCOME TAXES

      As a result of net losses and the Company's inability to recognize a
      benefit for its deferred tax assets, the Company did not record a
      provision for income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
      1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION.

OVERVIEW

    The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations
of Silver Cinemas International ("Silver Cinemas") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Silver Cinemas, Inc. ("Silver") and Landmark Theatre Corp.
("Landmark") (collectively referred to as the "Company") should be read in
conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto included elsewhere herein.

    Since inception in May 1996, the Company has experienced rapid revenue
growth through theater acquisition and the development of new theaters. During
fiscal year 1996, the Company acquired 18 theaters with 102 screens. During
fiscal year 1997, the Company acquired eight additional theaters with a total of
52 screens, constructed one theater with ten screens and added one screen to an
existing theater. During fiscal year 1998, the Company acquired 81 theaters with
372 screens, opened three newly constructed theaters with 18 screens, closed 4
theaters with 10 screens, and terminated the management agreement on 2 theaters
with 11 screens. In the current fiscal year through March 31, 1999, the Company
acquired 1 specialty film theatre with 4 screens and sold one specialty film
theater with 3 screens (the Company will continue to operate this theater
through May 1999 on a short term lease arrangement), bringing the Company's
total theater and screen count to 106 and 538, respectively. The Company expects
that its future revenue growth will be derived primarily from the operation of
its existing theaters, the acquisition and construction of specialty film
theaters and the addition of screens and seating to existing theaters.

    In the three months ending March 31, 1999, the Company incurred a net loss
of $1.0 million compared with a net loss for the same period of 1998 of $0.5
million.

    The consolidated operating income for the first three months of 1999 was
$1.6 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.3 million for the three
months ending March 31, 1998. Revenues for the three months ending March 31,
1999 grew $23.8 million, or 495%, to $28.6 million, as a result of the Company's
acquisitions during the 1998. Expenses increased $21.9 million, or 428%.

SEGMENT DATA

    A summary of the results of operations for each of the Company's principal
business segments is displayed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

    The Company's business operations are aligned into the following two
segments: Landmark (Specialty Film) and Silver Cinemas (primarily second-run).

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1998

Information for the three months ended March 31, 1998 represents results
generated under prior ownership.

    Admissions Revenues. Admissions revenues increased $2.3 million or 18.2% to
$14.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The increased admissions revenue was primarily the
result of a 19.7% increase in attendance from 2,102,726 to 2,516,497 partially
offset by a decrease in the average ticket price from $6.01 to $5.94. Landmark
benefits from having an average ticket price that is substantially higher than
the national average ticket and strong customer loyalty due to their dedication
to the specialty film market.

    Concessions Revenues. Concessions revenues increased $0.4 million or 13.9%
to $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in concession revenue was
primarily the result of the increase in attendance, but was partially offset by
a decrease in the average concession sale per attendee from $1.34 to $1.27.

    Film Expenses. Film rental expenses as a percentage of admissions revenue
decreased from 46.9% to 42.6% as a result of the extended play weeks of several
successful releases during the fourth quarter of 1998. Landmark's film rental
rates are typically below film rental rates of first-run theaters, which average
in the low to mid 50% range.

    Cost of Concessions. Concession costs as a percentage of concession revenue
decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from 20.7% to 17.5%. The reduction is primarily
attributable the Company's negotiated volume discounts on the traditional
theater concession items including fountain drinks. The Company put most of the
volume discounts in place during the second and third quarters of 1998.


                                      -10-

    Payroll and Related Expense. Payroll expense decreased from $2.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. Payroll per attendee, a key measure for staff efficiency,
decreased from $1.17 per attendee to $0.87 per attendee. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the Company's efforts to train theater managers to
adjust their staffing levels to the level of business.

    Occupancy Costs. Occupancy costs increased from $1.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.7 million for the three months ending March
31, 1999. This increase was primarily the result of two new theaters opened in
1998.

    Advertising Expenses. Advertising expenses increased $0.3 million to $0.5
million for the three months ending March 31, 1999 compared to the three months
ending March 31, 1998. This increase was the result of increased print
advertising associated with promoting the film product.

    General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $0.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily
the result of the elimination of duplicate staff positions following the
acquisition.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED

    Admissions Revenues. Admissions revenue increased $2.9 million or 112.7% to
$5.4 million during the three months ending March 31, 1999 compared to the three
months ending March 31, 1998. The increased admission revenue was primarily the
result of the addition of 31 acquired or constructed theaters representing 228
screens. The average ticket price for the circuit decreased from $1.67 to $1.62
primarily as the result of market-related price adjustments.


                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12


    Concession Revenues. Concession revenue increased $2.5 million or 115.6% to
$4.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The increased concession revenue was primarily the
result of the newly acquired and constructed theaters but was partially offset
by 1.4% decrease in the average concession sale per attendee from $1.38 to $1.36
due primarily to the implementation of the Company's reduced price concession
menu aimed at stabilizing attendance at several locations.

    Film Rental Expenses. Film rental expenses as a percentage of admissions
revenues declined from 38.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared
to 37.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the acquisition of 31 second-run theaters during 1998, which
increased the percentage of admission revenue that was contributed by second-run
theaters when compared to March 31, 1998.

    Concession Supplies Expenses. Concession costs as a percentage of concession
revenue for the period to period comparison increased from 14.5% of concession
sales to 18.4% primarily due the implementation of the Company's reduced price
concession menu at several locations. Management believes this new pricing
policy has assisted in stabilizing attendance levels at most theaters where the
policy has been implemented.

    Salaries and Wage Expenses. Payroll expense increased from $0.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 due primarily to the addition of the newly acquired and
constructed theaters. Payroll per attendee, a key measure for staff efficiency,
increased from $0.56 per attendee to $0.60 per attendee. The increase is
primarily attributable to the relative drop in attendance.

    Facility Lease Expenses. Facility leases increased $1.8 million to $2.7
million or 194.9% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $0.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in facility lease
expense is primarily attributable to the additional theaters acquired and
constructed during 1998. Included in facility lease expense for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 is noncash rent expense of $0.1 million.

    Advertising Expenses. Advertising expenses increased $0.3 million or 227.8%
from the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. Advertising expenses comprised 4.6% and 3.0% of total
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 respectively.

    Utilities and Other Expenses. Utilities and other expenses increased from
$0.8 million to $2.1 million or 152.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1999
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily
the result of the additional theaters operated at March 31, 1999 compared to
March 31, 1998.

    General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased from $0.6 million to $1.0 million or 70.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase
was primarily the result of increased payroll costs associated with the
Company's expansion.

    Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5
million to $0.9 million or 95.2% for the year ended March 31, 1999 from $0.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily
the result of theater property additions associated with the Company's expansion
efforts.

    Operating Loss. The operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999
increased by $1.5 million to $1.8 million or 17.8% of total revenues, compared
to an operating loss of $0.3 million, or 6.5% of total revenues, for the three
months ended March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Revenues are collected in cash, primarily through box office receipts and
the sale of concession items. Because revenues are received in cash prior to the
payment of related expenses, there are, in effect, no accounts receivable. This,
in combination with minimal inventory requirements, creates a negative working
capital position, which provides certain operating capital.

    During the first quarter of 1999, the Company's capital requirements were
the result of a theater acquisition, the renovation and upgrade of existing
theaters, and the continued construction of a discount theater in Joliet, IL.
Such capital expenditures were financed with a November 1998 equity sale, and
internally generated cash.

    "Same Theater" attendance at the Company's Silver theaters has declined by
approximately 12% for the three months ending March 31, 1999 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 1998. Management believes this trend is the result
of several factors including the development of megaplexes in certain markets,
changes in film and video release patterns, and the overall strength of the US
economy. If this trend continues, the Company's ability to generate liquidity
could be negatively impacted.

    The preceding statements concerning the attendance declines may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
The Company warns that many factors could, individually or in aggregate, lead to
further declines in theater attendance, including, without limitation, the
following: consumer spending trends and habits; increased competition in the
theater industry; adverse developments in economic factors influencing the
exhibition industry; and lack of demand for films by the general public. The
Company does not expect to update such forward-looking statements continually as
conditions change, and readers should consider that such statements pertain only
to the date hereof.

    On January 15, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of Landmark purchased the
stock of Dinger Brothers, Inc. which operates a 4-screen specialty-film theater,
located in Texas, for approximately $0.8 million. The purchase was financed by a
November 1998 equity sale and internally generated cash.

    On March 5, 1999, the Company sold its specialty theater in Sacramento, CA
to a non-theater entity for approximately $1.6 million. The Company will
continue to operate this theater on a month-to-month basis through May 1999 as
the new owner completes plans to redevelop the site. On April 2, 1999, the
Company sold its first-run theater in Burton, MI for approximately $2.0 million.
The net proceeds from both sales are being used to continue the Company's
new-build expansion program.

    On April 6, 1999 the Company entered into a Letter of Credit and
Reimbursement Agreement between the Company and NationsBank, N.A. The agreement
allows the Company to enter into up to $5.3 million in letters of credit
associated with specific to-be-built theaters. Under certain circumstances,
including the failure of the Company to pay amounts drawn under the letters of
credit, Brentwood Associates Buyout Fund II, L.P has agreed to purchase a
participation from the bank in outstanding letters of credit and reimbursement
obligations. This agreement released approximately $3.4 million in cash that was
securing previously issued letters of credit.

    In April 1998 the Company obtained a commitment for a $40.0 revolving line
of credit from DLJ Capital Funding, Inc. which expires on June 30, 1999. The
terms of the commitment were based on assumptions of the business prior to the
acquisitions of Landmark and StarTime in April 1998. Due to recent attendance
trends in the second-run segment, which have impacted the Company's performance,
the terms of the commitment are no longer economically beneficial. Therefore,
the Company does not anticipate entering into a revolving credit facility under
the existing terms. As such, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette has been retained to
evaluate potential alternative sources of capital to complete the Company's
new-build program, pursue selected acquisitions and for general corporate
purposes.

    As of March 31, 1999, the Company had $3.4 million of Series A Preferred
Stock dividends in arrears.

INFLATION

    Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations to
date.

SEASONALITY

    The Company's quarterly results of operations tend to be affected by film
release patterns by producers and distributors, and the commercial success of
films. In the past the year-end holiday season and the summer resulted in
higher-than-average quarterly revenues for the Company.

YEAR 2000

    The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs that use two digits
instead of four to record the applicable year. Computer programs that have
date-sensitive software might recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900
instead of the Year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including among other events,
a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in similar normal
business activities. The Year 2000 is a leap year, which may also lead to
incorrect calculations, functions or system failure. The Company has established
a committee, which is currently gathering, testing and producing information
about the Company's operations systems impacted by the Year 2000 transition. At
the present time, the Company has completed its assessment of the day-to-day
operating and reporting systems for all theaters and has contacted the various
vendors to ensure that all necessary modifications and upgrades will be
available for implementation by June 30, 1999. The Company's financial reporting
and operational databases associated with the corporate offices have been
tested, and modified as needed to ensure compliance with the Year 2000. All
projects to modify the existing systems to ensure Year 2000 compliance are
expected to be completed by September 30, 1999. Related costs are not
anticipated to exceed $0.1 million at the completion of the project, and will be
funded through internally generated cash flow.

    Under the "most reasonably likely worst case scenario" the Company's point
of sale equipment will fail to operate at the theater level. In this event, the
Company could return to a manual system of recording daily admission and
concession revenues, which are primarily received in cash. Given the Company's
daily reliance on point of sale equipment, theaters are currently trained in
operating within a manual system when the point of sale equipment is
occasionally inoperable. The impact from a system failure at the corporate
office would only effect financial reporting and analysis of operating results.

    The Company is still in the assessment phase with respect to its significant
suppliers and critical business partners to determine the extent to which the
Company may be vulnerable in the event that those parties fail to properly
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The major third party vendors include
financial institutions, utility suppliers, providers of communication services
and parties that provide goods or services that are essential to the Company's
operations. While the Company is not presently aware of any such significant
exposure, there can be no guarantees that the systems of third-parties on which
the Company relies will be converted in a timely manner, or that failure to
properly convert by another company would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company. The Company will develop appropriate contingency plans in the event
that a significant exposure is identified relative to the dependence on
third-party systems.

    Although the Year 2000 assessment has not been completed, management
currently believes, based on available information, that resolving these matters
will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

    The preceding statements concerning the Company's efforts and management's
expectations, relating to year 2000 compliance and the incremental costs
associated therewith may constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. The Company warns that many factors
could, individually or in aggregate, adversely impact the company's ability to
achieve year 2000 compliance including without limitation, the availability and
costs of programming and testing resources, vendors' ability to modify
proprietary software and unanticipated problems identified in the ongoing
compliance review. The Company does not expect to update such forward-looking
statements continually as conditions change, and readers should consider that
such statements pertain only to the date hereof.
