Item 1.  Business
-------  --------

(a) General Development of Business
    -------------------------------

United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. ("UATC" or the "Company"), a Maryland
corporation, was initially founded in 1926 by shareholders including Mary
Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Sam Goldwyn and Joe Schenck. From its founding
through its first 40 years, the Company developed its theatre operations.  In
the early 1960's, the Company, through a separate subsidiary, invested in the
cable television business.  In 1986, an indirect subsidiary of Tele-
Communications, Inc. ("TCI") acquired a controlling interest in the Company's
then parent company, United Artists Communications, Inc. ("UACI"), which owned
both the theatre and cable businesses. UACI subsequently changed its name in
1989 to United Artists Entertainment Company ("UAE") in conjunction with the
acquisition of United Cable Television Corporation.  In December 1991, TCI's
indirect subsidiary acquired the remaining outstanding shares of UAE.

On May 12, 1992, an investment fund managed by MLCP and certain institutional
investors (the "Non-Management Investors"), certain executives of UAE and
certain members of the Company's management formed OSCAR I Corporation ("OSCAR
I") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company
from TCI (the "Acquisition"). The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisition,
including liabilities assumed, was approximately $543.8 million.

Simultaneously with the Acquisition, the Non-Management Investors formed OSCAR
II Corporation ("OSCAR II"), a Delaware corporation, which separately acquired
from an affiliate of TCI all of the outstanding capital stock of United Artists
Realty Company ("UAR"), a Delaware corporation.  UAR and its subsidiaries,
United Artists Properties I Corp. ("Prop I") and United Artists Properties II
Corp. ("Prop II"), were the owners and lessors of certain operating theatre
properties leased to and operated by the Company and its subsidiaries.  Certain
mortgage debt of UAR, Prop I and Prop II (approximately $142.3 million) which
was secured by their theatre properties remained outstanding after the
acquisition of UAR by OSCAR II.

On February 28, 1995, OSCAR II was merged into OSCAR I through a one-for-one
share exchange.  As a result of this merger OSCAR II ceased to exist and OSCAR I
became the parent company of both UATC and UAR.

During December 1995, as part of a sale and leaseback transaction completed by
the Company, ten theatres owned by the Company, 17 theatres owned by Prop II and
four theatres being developed by the Company were sold and leased back to the
Company (the "1995 Sale and Leaseback") for approximately $47.1 million.
Simultaneously with the 1995 Sale and Leaseback transaction, Prop II contributed
to the Company its remaining 11 theatres and the equipment from the Prop II
theatres which were sold.  That contribution was accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests.

As a result of the transactions described above, the corporate structure of
OSCAR I and UATC are as follows:

(b)  Narrative Description of Business
     ---------------------------------

The Company is a leading motion picture exhibitor in North America and, in the
United States, operates 2,165 screens at 335 theatres located in 25 states.  The
Company licenses films from all major and substantially all independent film
distributors and derives revenues primarily from theatre admissions and
concession sales. Through its geographically diverse theatre locations, the
Company operates screens in seven of the ten largest demographic market areas
("DMAs") in the United States and approximately 50.0% of the Company's screens
are located in the top 20 DMAs.  In addition, approximately 27.5% of the
Company's screens (596 screens) have been constructed since January 1, 1992.
The Company believes that it is the largest single exhibitor, based on number of
screens, in many of its core areas of operation and that the location of its
theatres represents a competitive advantage in many of these areas.  Six states
(California, New York, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania and Louisiana) accounted for
approximately 58.0% and 57.0% of the Company's total theatres and screens,
respectively, at December 31, 1997 and 61.0% of the Company's theatrical revenue
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

In December 1996, the Company implemented a corporate restructuring and
refocused its investment strategy on its core U.S. business.  Since that time,
the Company has: (i) reduced its corporate general and administrative expenses
by 31.3%, or approximately $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996; (ii) increased its presence in its
core areas of operation through the development of new theatres and the
refurbishing or expansion of selected existing key theatres; (iii) implemented
operational improvements; and (iv) accelerated the divestitures of
underperforming and non-strategic theatres.

The Company has invested more than $332.0 million since January 1, 1992 toward
improving the quality of its asset base by, among other things, renovating
existing theatres and constructing new state-of-the-art theatres. The Company
believes that this level of investment compares favorably with other major North
American theatre exhibitors.  Almost all of the theatres the Company currently
plans to build are state-of-the-art, 12 to 18 screen multiplex theatres with
stadium seating, high-backed rocking seats, digital sound, expanded concession
areas and other state-of-the-art design features and amenities.  As compared to
the prior generation of theatres, these theatres provide a higher quality
entertainment experience for patrons and significant operating efficiencies and
improved economics for the Company.  At December 1997, approximately 86.0% of
the Company's screens were located in theatres with five or more screens.  The
Company's average number of screens per theatre has increased 35.4% from 4.8 at
January 1, 1992 to 6.5 at December 31, 1997.

Industry Overview
-----------------

More than 460 participants in the domestic motion picture theatre exhibition
business operate in excess of 31,000 screens in North America.  In 1996 the top
ten companies operated approximately 56.0% of the total screens as compared to
31.0% in 1986.  The remainder of the domestic motion picture theatre exhibition
industry is highly fragmented, with the remaining 44.0% of the screens being
operated by approximately 450 exhibitors.  The Company has one of the largest
shares of total screens with approximately 7.0% of all screens in North America.

                                       4
<PAGE>

The number of screens operated nationally has increased at an annual average
rate of approximately 4.8% since 1978, while the number of seats has increased
at a much slower rate. Exhibitors generally turned to multi-screen formats with
smaller auditoriums. Typically, multi-screen theatres ("multiplexes") have six
or more screens per theatre, although in some instances multiplexes may have as
many as 30 screens in a single theatre. The multiplex format provides numerous
benefits for theatre operators, including allowing facilities, (concession
stands and restrooms) and operating costs (lease rentals, utilities and
personnel) to be allocated over a larger base of screens and patrons.
Multiplexes have varying seating capacities (typically from 100 to 500 seats)
that allow for multiple showtimes of the same film and a variety of films with
differing audience appeal to be shown. They also provide the flexibility to
shift films to larger or smaller auditoriums depending on their popularity. To
limit crowd congestion and maximize the efficiency of floor and concession
staff, the starting times of films at multiplexes are staggered.

Certain trends in the theatre exhibition industry favor larger, better
capitalized companies, creating an environment for new construction and
consolidation.  Foremost among these trends is larger exhibitors actively
seeking and building multiplexes or megaplexes.  Moreover, many smaller theatre
owners who operate older cinemas without state-of-the-art stadium seating and
projection and sound equipment may not have the capital required to maintain or
upgrade their circuits.  The growth of the number of screens, strong domestic
consumer demand, and growing foreign theatrical and domestic and foreign
ancillary revenue opportunities have led to an increase in the volume of major
film releases.  The greater number of screens has allowed films to be produced
for and marketed to specific audience segments (e.g., horror films for
teenagers) without using capacity required for mainstream product.

The greater number of screens has also prompted distributors to increase
promotion of new films.  Not only are there more films in the market at any
given time, but the multiplex format allows for much larger simultaneous
national theatrical release.  In prior years a studio might have released 1,000
prints of a major film, initially releasing the film only in major metropolitan
areas, then gradually releasing it in smaller cities and towns nationwide. Today
studios might release over 3,000 prints of a major film and open it nationally
in one weekend. These national openings have made up-front promotion of films
critical to attract audiences and stimulate word of mouth advertising.

Motion pictures are generally made available through various distribution
methods at various dates after the theatrical release date.  The release dates
of motion pictures in these other "distribution windows" begin four to six
months after the theatrical release date with video cassette rentals, followed
generally by off-air or cable television programming including pay-per-view, pay
television, other basic cable and broadcast network syndicated programming.
These new distribution windows have given producers the ability to generate a
greater portion of a film's revenues through channels other than theatrical
release.  This increased revenue potential after a film's initial domestic
release has enabled major studios and certain independent producers to increase
film production and theatrical advertising.  The additional non-theatrical
revenue has also allowed for higher individual film production and marketing
costs.  The total cost of producing and distributing a picture averaged
approximately $53.4 million in 1997 compared with approximately $17.5 million in
1986.  The average cost to advertise and promote a picture averaged
approximately $22.2 million in 1997 as compared with $5.4 million in 1986.

These higher costs have made a large successful theatrical release more
important. Distributors strive for a successful opening run at the theatre to
establish a film and substantiate the film's revenue potential both
internationally and through other release windows. The value of home video and
pay cable distribution agreements frequently depends on the success of a film's
theatrical release. Furthermore, the studios' revenue-sharing percentage and
ability to control who views the product within each of the distribution windows
generally declines as one moves farther from the theatrical release window.
Because theatrical distribution remains the cornerstone of a film's financial
success, it is the focal distribution window for the public's evaluation of
films and motion picture promotion.

Management expects that the overall supply of films will continue to increase,
although no assurance exists concerning any such increase.  Over the past three
years there has been an increase of approximately 18.0% in the number of motion
pictures rated by the Classification and Rating Administration.  There has also
been an increase in the number of major studios and reissues of films as well as
an increased popularity of films made by independent producers.  During the past
three years the number of large budget films and the level of marketing support
provided by the production companies has risen, as evidenced by the increase in
average production costs and average advertising costs per film of 55.7% and
38.2%, respectively.

Business and Operating Strategy
-------------------------------

The Company's business and operating strategy is to continue focusing on its
core U.S. business and improving theatre level operating efficiencies.  Key
elements of this strategy include:

REFOCUS OVERHEAD AND CAPITAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY:  In December 1996, the Company
implemented a corporate restructuring and refocused its investment strategy on
its core U.S. business. The Company's core business strategy focuses
management's attention and capital resources on those geographic areas where the
Company intends to strengthen and defend its current position. The Company has
also implemented operational improvements and overhead reductions intended to
increase the Company's results of operations and has already sold or closed
several underperforming or non-strategic theatres. The corporate restructuring
plan resulted in a higher level of focus by the Company on its domestic
theatrical business and a reduction of corporate general and administrative
expenses of 31.3%, or approximately $10.8 million for the year ended December
31, 1997, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. These savings were
achieved primarily through headcount reductions and a consolidation of regional
administrative offices.

DEVELOP NEW THEATRES AND REBUILD OR EXPAND EXISTING KEY THEATRE LOCATIONS.  The
Company plans to continue increasing its number of screens and operating margins
by focusing its capital investment activities on developing new theatre
locations in the Company's core areas of operation and leveraging its favorable
theatre locations through the renovation, rebuilding or expansion of existing
theatres in those key locations.  The Company is developing higher margin
multiplexes of 12 to 18 screens and is seeking to increase concession sales
through, among other things, more efficient theatre design. The Company is also
constructing its new theatres with stadium seating, digital sound, more
comfortable seats and other state-of-the-art design features and amenities.  The
Company believes that these theatres will have an optimal relationship between
the number of screens (12 to 18) and the size of the auditoriums (125 to 400
seats).  These theatres are designed to increase the revenue per square foot
generated by the facility and reduce the cost per square foot of constructing
and operating the theatres.  This multiplex strategy, in combination with an
emphasis on concession sales, is designed to improve revenue and profitability
by enhancing attendance and concession sales, theatre utilization and operating
efficiencies and provide more efficient clustering around regional and district
management centers.  During 1997, the Company developed and opened 13 theatres
(132 screens).  During 1998 and 1999, the Company plans to open ten new theatres
(119 screens), rebuild six existing theatres (70 screens) and renovate or add
stadium seating to six other theatres.

DIVESTITURE OF UNDERPERFORMING THEATRES. The Company's 1996 corporate
restructuring was also designed to rationalize underperforming or non-strategic
assets by: (i) terminating leases for theatres that are underperforming; (ii)
selling real estate underlying non-strategic or underperforming theatres; (iii)
divesting theatres in non-core areas; and (iv) exchanging theatres in non-core
areas for theatres in core areas. During 1997, the Company received
approximately $59.5 million for the sale of substantially all of its
international assets and certain non-operating real estate assets and closed or
sold 44 underperforming or non-strategic theatres (170 screens). Many of the
theatres closed or sold were not profitable or were located in areas that are
not part of the Company's long-term strategic plans. The Company has identified
47 theatres (241 screens) that are not considered strategically important or are
underperforming. The Company currently plans to sell or close these theatres
during the next two years, although there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to accomplish such divestitures or closings.

IMPLEMENT OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. In the past two years the Company has
recognized theatre and concession operating efficiencies through an increased
focus on increasing concession sales, managing theatre payrolls and other
variable costs and increased staff training. The Company increased concession
sales per capita by approximately 7.8% in 1997 versus 1996 and 5.0% annually on
average from 1993 to 1997. Management believes that there are opportunities to
achieve additional operating efficiencies by disposing of less efficient
theatres, developing new multiplex theatres, and continuing to improve theatre
level operating expenses. Areas of focus for 1998 will include lowering
concession costs, improving entertainment center operations and implementing new
theatre point of sale computer systems and corporate level information
management systems.

MANAGE INDIVIDUAL THEATRE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. While the Company plans to
continue to develop several new state-of-the-art theatres each year, the Company
intends to seek to reduce individual theatre financial leverage and capital
requirements by also focusing on expanding, renovating and rebuilding many of
its key locations. In many cases, these existing key locations can be
transformed into state-of-the-art multiplex stadium theatres without competing
against other operators for the location and incurring higher rent excessive
higher preconstruction costs. Furthermore, existing structures can be utilized
while being refurbished to help reduce overall construction costs. In addition,

                                       6
<PAGE>
the Company's renovation of theatres in desirable locations eliminates much of
the geographic risk related to a project's success. In order to reduce the
overall investment by the Company in new theatres, the Company has entered into
"build to suit" and other landlord leasing arrangements or sale and leaseback
transactions. The Company also intends to continue to sell non-strategic and
underperforming assets (such as the sale during 1997 of the majority of its
international investments) and expects to redeploy capital to its core U.S.
business. This strategy is intended to provide increased liquidity from the
disposal of non-cash flow producing investments and theatres with limited growth
potential.

ENHANCE STUDIO/DISTRIBUTOR RELATIONSHIPS. Management intends to continue to
enhance and balance its studio relationships to obtain the optimal number of
marketable motion pictures. The Company believes that it will continue to
increase the number of prints it obtains from each studio as it increases the
number of its screens in selected key locations and leverages its attractive
theatre locations through the development of new, larger (in terms of screens),
higher margin theatres. To the extent that theatrical exhibition remains the
primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases and the overall
number of movies produced continues to increase, management believes that the
Company's focus on its core areas will provide it with access to more prints of
each motion picture.

DEVELOP ANCILLARY REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES.  The Company believes that there are
opportunities to increase its ancillary revenue from its Satellite Theatre
Network by renting theatres for seminars and business meetings, product and
customer research and other entertainment uses.  Through its VIP/Premier
program, the Company seeks to enhance theatre attendance by selling large groups
of tickets to businesses and groups through coupon books as well as gift
certificates.  On-screen advertising also provides an additional opportunity to
increase revenue and profitability.

Operations

Overview
The following table summarizes the screens and theatres in which the Company
owns more than a 50% interest at the end of each of the last five years:

</TABLE>

Through various joint venture companies, in which the Company owns a 50% or less
interest, the Company also manages six theatres (19 screens) in the United
States and operates six theatres (25 screens) in various foreign countries.

Almost all of the Company's theatres are multiplexes, with an average of 6.5
screens per theatre. In comparison to a single screen theatre, multiplex
theatres allocate facilities such as concession stands and restroom facilities,
and operating costs such as rent, utilities and personnel, over a larger base of
screens and patrons. Multiplexes allow for a variety of films with different
audience appeal to be shown in the same theatre and permit multiple showtimes of
popular films. Multiplexes also provide the flexibility to shift films to larger
or smaller auditoriums depending on the film's popularity. To limit crowd
congestion and maximize staff efficiency, the Company's theatres stagger the
starting times of films. The Company believes that multiplex theatres designed
with 12 to 18 screens generally provide the optimal balance of return on
invested capital and adequate screen numbers for patrons and film distribution
companies, as compared to even larger "megaplex" theatres (20 or more screens).

As set forth in the following table, even though the Company operates several
smaller theatres (in terms of number of screens), approximately 86.0% of the
Company's screens as of December 31, 1997 were in theatres containing five or
more screens:

</TABLE>
Revenue
-------
The Company's principal sources of revenue from its theatres are derived from
theatrical admissions and concession sales. For the year ended December 31,
1997, theatrical admissions and concession sales comprised approximately 69.0%
and 28.0% of the Company's revenue is derived from theatrical admissions and
concession sales, respectively. The remaining 3.0% of revenue for this period
was derived primarily from on-screen advertising, electronic video games located
in theatre lobbies, theatre rentals, and other miscellaneous sources. Theatre
rental revenue relates primarily to the Satellite Theatre Network business unit
that rents theatres on a networked and non-networked basis for corporate
meetings, seminars and other training/educational uses.

The Company's admissions revenue is based on the level of theatrical attendance
and the mix of tickets sold. Theatre attendance is dependent primarily upon the
ability to license the most popular films. The Company's ticket prices vary
throughout the circuit depending upon such things as local competition, whether
the theatre is showing first run or second run movies, and the local economy in
which the theatre operates. Reduced ticket prices are typically charged for
senior citizens, children and matinee showings. The mix of tickets sold is
primarily related to the types of movies available to and exhibited by the
Company. Admissions revenue is recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

Concession sales are a significant important factor in the overall profitability
of a theatre. The Company's primary concession products are varying sizes of
popcorn, soft drinks, candy and certain other products such as nachos and hot
dogs. The Company also sells pizza, pretzels, cookies, ice cream, bottled water,
fruit juices and other specialty items in many of its theatres. Popcorn, soft
drinks and packaged candy are generally sold in three or four (including
children's) sizes. Retail prices for concession items vary by the size of the
offering and are generally market sensitive. Concession sales are recorded net
of applicable sales taxes.

To further increase its concession sales, the Company has introduced new
products and initiated programs intended to increase the percentage of patrons
who purchase concessions and increase the amount of concessions purchased by
each patron. To achieve these goals the Company has implemented training
programs for all concession employees, remodeled concession stands at certain
existing theatres to make them more visible, attractive and efficient,
constructed new theatres with increased concession capacity, expanded concession
menus in selected locations, installed bulk candy stands in most theatres and
adopted certain seasonal and event-oriented promotional programs. In addition,
theatre managers and assistant managers are incentivized through concession
commission programs that represent a significant portion of their total
compensation.

Marketing and Advertising
-------------------------

The Company relies principally upon newspaper advertisements, newspaper film
schedules and word of mouth to inform its patrons of film titles and exhibition
times. The Company utilizes local newspaper advertisements to promote its
theatres and inform its patrons of the films being played and show times. The
Company typically pays for this type of advertisement. In most areas, multi-
media advertisements for upcoming film releases are paid by the film's
distributor. In selected areas there is a "co-op" arrangement whereby the
exhibitors and distributors share in the cost of film advertisement in
newspapers. Film distributors will also typically pay for radio and television
spots to promote certain motion pictures and special events.

Prior to the opening of a new theatre, the Company typically initiates a
marketing campaign that advertises and promotes the new theatre for several
weeks to several months prior to the new theatre's opening date. The costs
associated with such marketing campaigns are capitalized and expensed as other
operating expenses over the twelve months subsequent to the new theatre's
opening date. In addition, in instances in which a theatre is

                                       8
<PAGE>

performing below management's expectations, the Company may initiate a newspaper
marketing campaign with the objective of increasing attendance at the theatre.

Film Licensing
--------------

The Company obtains licenses to exhibit films by directly negotiating with film
distributors on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis.  The Company
licenses films through its booking offices located in New York and Los Angeles.
Individuals in the booking offices are responsible for booking films for
theatres in their assigned regions.  This regional film booking structure allows
the Company to maintain better relationships with the film distributors'
regional representatives and provides better insight to the film tastes of its
patrons.  The Company licenses films from all of the major and independent film
distributors and is not overly dependent on any one film distributor for film
product.

The Company licenses the majority of its first run films from distributors owned
by the major and independent film production companies.  Each film distributor
establishes geographic areas known as "film zones," and typically allocates each
of its films to only one theatre within each film zone.  In most cases where
there is more than one exhibitor in a film zone this allocation process is based
on long standing relationships between the distributor and exhibitor or is done
on an alternating basis.  In certain very limited cases where several exhibitors
operate in a single film zone, films are allocated based on an exhibitor bidding
process.  The size of a film zone is based primarily upon population density.
The Company operates in a total of 275 film zones and believes that it is the
only exhibitor in 108 of these zones, and, therefore does not currently compete
with other exhibitors for licensing specific film product at a give time in such
film zones.

Film licenses typically specify rental fees equal to the higher of a percentage
of (i) gross box office receipts or (ii) adjusted box office receipts.  Under
the gross box office receipts formula, the film distributor receives a specified
weekly percentage of the gross box office receipts. Under the adjusted box
office receipts formula, the film distributor receives a specified percentage of
the excess of box office receipts over a periodically negotiated amount of
theatre expenses.  In a very limited number of cases, the Company may be
required to pay a non-refundable guarantee or make film rental advances in order
to obtain certain film licenses.

Most terms of the film licenses (and hence the film rental costs) with many film
distributors are historically finalized after exhibition of the film in a
process known as "settlement."  The settlement process considers, among other
things, the actual success of a film relative to original expectations, an
exhibitor's commitment to the film, and the exhibitor's relationship with the
film distributor.  The Company has historically been able to license a majority
of the motion pictures available, however, there is no guarantee that this will
continue in the future.

Theatre Properties
------------------

The majority of the Company's theatres are located in free-standing buildings or
are "anchor" tenants in regional malls or strip centers.  Typically, the
Company's third-party leases have remaining terms ranging from 10 to 25 years
and provide for options to extend for up to 20 additional years at the Company's
election.  The leases provide for annual base rent and many require additional
rent based upon a percentage of the leased theatres' revenue over a certain
breakpoint.  Certain of the leases provide for escalating minimum annual rentals
during the term of the lease.  The leases typically require the Company to pay
for property taxes, insurance, and certain of the lessors' overhead costs.  The
Company expects that in the normal course of business, desirable leases that
expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases, although such renewals or
replacements may be on materially different terms.  The Company owns directly or
through its subsidiaries substantially all of the theatre equipment used in all
of its theatres.

Construction.  The Company's construction strategy focuses on selecting sites in
its existing core areas of operation and enhancing the theatre-goer's experience
by building state-of-the-art theatres.  Each new location is selected after
considering the Company's relative strength in the particular area, the number
of existing competitive screens, growth potential of the area and the minimum
threshold population within a certain radius of the theatre.  As part of its
construction strategy, the Company intends to construct or lease theatres that
have a favorable balance between the number of screens (12 to 18) and the size
of the auditoriums (125 to 400 seats).  The Company believes that this balance
will allow the Company to provide an adequate number of screens for film
distributors and increased entertainment value to patrons afforded by larger
auditoriums.  In addition to increasing the number of screens in certain
locations, the Company is also constructing theatres with stadium seating, more
comfortable seats, analog and digital stereo sound systems and other state-of-
the-art design features and amenities.

                                       9
<PAGE>

As a result of new construction and the sale or closure of older, smaller
theatres, approximately 27.5% of the Company's screens have been constructed
since January 1, 1992 and approximately 44.0% of theatres operated on January 1,
1992 have been sold or closed.  As a result of this new construction and the
sale or closure of older, smaller theatres, the Company's average number of
screens per theatre has increased 35.4% from 4.8 screens at January 1, 1992 to
6.5 screens at December 31, 1997.

The Company has historically financed, and plans to continue to finance, a
significant portion of the cost of construction of new theatres by entering into
long-term leases or sale and leaseback transactions. The Company's long-term
leases typically have initial terms of 15 to 25 years with renewal options and
require the landlord to provide a significant portion of the up-front
construction costs. As a result, capital expenditures are often only required
for equipment and certain tenant finishes thereby reducing the net capital
expenditures required for new leased theatres. Although in certain circumstances
the Company may choose to acquire an existing theatre, the Company believes that
it is generally more cost effective to add a new theatre location through
construction.

In addition to new construction, the Company also intends to devote significant
resources to adding additional screens to existing theatres and, refurbishing or
rebuilding existing theatres to strengthen its position in existing areas. The
Company believes that renovating, expanding or completely rebuilding certain of
its existing theatre locations provides it with a significant competitive
advantage in many of the large metropolitan areas where the availability of
suitable theatre sites is limited.

Geographic Positioning.  Geographic positioning and operating efficiencies are
key elements of the Company's operating strategy.  Geographic clustering at both
the regional and local levels is important in providing the Company with access
to attractive new theatre development opportunities and enhancing film buying
and operating efficiencies.  The Company achieves operating efficiencies by
concentrating regional corporate operations around fewer strategic markets and
reducing its number of less profitable, non-strategic theatres.

Theatrical exhibitors depend upon strong geographic positioning to obtain the
most attractive film rental arrangements because film bookings are negotiated on
a market by market basis.  Strong geographic positioning in terms of both number
of screens and locations enhances the attractiveness of a theatre exhibitor to
film distributors, in part due to the exhibitor's ability to influence the local
success of a film release.

The Company's theatres are located in large and medium sized metropolitan areas
in California, southern New York (primarily New York City and Long Island), New
Jersey, Florida, Texas, eastern Pennsylvania (including Philadelphia),
Louisiana, Colorado (primarily Denver), Georgia, and certain areas in North and
South Carolina. The Company believes that it has strong positions in many of
these major metropolitan areas. The states that represent the largest geographic
concentration of theatres and screens operated accounted for approximately 58%
and 57% of the Company's total theatres and screens, respectively, at December
31, 1997 and approximately 61% of the Company's theatrical revenue for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and were as follows:

Competition
-----------

The Company competes for the public's leisure time and disposable income with
all forms of entertainment including sporting events, concerts, live theatre,
and restaurants. The Company is also subject to varying degrees of competition
from other theatre circuits and independent theatres, some of which may have
greater access to capital resources. The motion picture exhibition industry is
highly competitive, particularly with respect to film licensing, attracting
patrons and acquiring or leasing new theatre sites. Some of the Company's
competitors may be better established in certain areas where the Company's
theatres are located. Competition for patrons occurs locally and depends upon
factors such as: (i) which films a particular theatre is showing; (ii) location
of theatres; (iii) comfort and quality of theatres; and (iv) ticket prices. Film
patrons are not "brand" conscious and generally choose a theatre because of film
selection, location and quality of the theatre.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Competition among theatre circuits for licensing popular films occurs locally
and is based on the prestige and location of an exhibitor's theatres, quality of
the theatres (especially projection and sound quality), seating capacity, and
the exhibitor's ability and willingness to promote the films.  The Company
believes that promoting good relations with film distribution and production
companies is important to consistently obtain the best mix of available films.

Where real estate is readily available, there are few barriers preventing
competitors from opening theatres near one of the Company's theatres, which may
have a material adverse effect on the Company's theatre.  In addition,
"megaplexes" (theatres with 20 or more screens) have been built or are planned
to be built by competitors in certain areas in which the Company operates, which
may result in excess capacity and adversely affect attendance and pricing at
other theatres in such areas.

Alternative motion picture exhibition delivery systems, including cable
television, video cassettes, satellite and pay per view, also exhibit filmed
entertainment after its theatrical release.  While the further expansion of such
delivery systems (such as video on demand) could have a material adverse effect
upon the Company's business and results of operations, no such adverse effect
has yet been experienced.

Recent consolidation in the industry has included the anticipated merger of Sony
Corp.'s Loews Theatres Exhibit Group with Cineplex Odeon Corp. announced in
October 1997; the acquisition by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., ("KKR") of Act
III Cinemas Inc., also announced in October 1997 and consummated in December
1997; and the anticipated joint acquisition of Regal Cinemas Inc. by affiliates
of KKR and Hicks, Muse, Tate and Furst, Incorporated ("Hicks Muse") announced in
January 1998. Such consolidation could increase the level of competition for the
industry.

Satellite Theatre Network/TM/
-----------------------------

In an effort to utilize its existing theatres more effectively during periods of
low attendance (such as mornings and weekdays), the Company has developed a
business unit called the Proteus Network/TM/ or Satellite Theatre Network/TM/.
The Satellite Theatre Network/TM/ rents theatre auditoriums for seminars,
corporate training, business meetings and other educational or communication
uses, product and customer research and other entertainment uses.  Theatre
auditoriums are rented individually or on a networked basis.  To provide the
"broadcasting" network or "teleconferencing" equipment, a network of theatres
has been created by installing high quality (high definition-like) video
projection equipment within theatres that are networked via the combination of
satellite delivery from a single location or multiple location and telephonic
communication.

As of December 31, 1997, the Satellite Theatre Network/TM/ included 31 theatres
equipped with electronic video capability and additional 304 theatres that were
being rented for individual non-networked uses.  All of the Company's theatres
can be "networked" through the use of temporary equipment.  Because the
Satellite Theatre Network/TM/ operations within the theatre are managed by
existing personnel, very little incremental personnel expenditures are required.
Marketing of the Satellite Theatre Network/TM/ services is performed on a
national basis by staff located in  Englewood, Colorado.  The Company recorded
$6.2 million, $6.0 million and $1.6 million of revenue from the Satellite
Theatre Network/TM / for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Management
----------

The Company operates its theatres from its Englewood, Colorado corporate
headquarters, three regional operating offices, thirteen district operating
offices and two film booking offices.  All of the Company's district offices and
two of the regional operating offices are located within theatres.

There is active communication between the theatres and division management and
corporate management, which allows management to react on a daily basis to
revenue and staffing information.  Division management provides guidance in
scheduling, staffing, screen allocation, and other operating decisions.
Management personnel with the Company's marketing and concessions operations are
also continually involved with theatre management to promote strong performance
in those areas.  This structure allows the theatre manager to focus solely on
the day-to-day operations of the theatre.  A primary responsibility of the
theatre manager is improving efficiency and managing costs at the local theatre
level.

Corporate and divisional management assists in the daily operations of the
Company's theatres by booking and settling films, training new and existing
employees, setting admission and concessions pricing policies, selecting
concession products, advertising theatres and showtimes, selecting new theatre
sites and negotiating

                                       11
<PAGE>

national purchasing contracts. Corporate management also assists in theatre
development and construction and capital raising activities and provides cash
management, accounting, tax and management information services.

The Company's reporting systems provide management and each theatre manager with
weekly and monthly operating reports for individual theatres.  This allows
management to monitor theatre manager performance and progress in attaining
certain identifiable goals.  The Company's computer system, installed in all of
its theatres, allows the Company to centralize all theatre-level administrative
functions at its three regional operating offices and corporate headquarters.
The system allows regional and corporate management to monitor ticket revenue
and concession sales.  All accounting, reporting and management information
systems are centralized at the Company's corporate headquarters.  The Company is
currently upgrading its corporate and theatre level computer systems to improve
its reporting and point of sale capabilities.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company employed approximately 10,000 employees, of
which approximately 1,300 were full-time.  Approximately 45.0% of the Company's
employees (substantially all of whom are part-time employees who work in the
theatres) are paid based on the applicable state and Federal minimum wage
regulations.  Approximately 100 employees (primarily consisting of film
projectionists) are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Seasonality
-----------

The Company's theatrical results of operations are subject to seasonal
fluctuations in theatre attendance, which corresponds to holiday school vacation
periods, and a greater availability of popular motion pictures during the period
from Memorial Day through Labor Day and during the Easter, Thanksgiving and
Christmas holidays.

Government Regulation
---------------------

The distribution of motion pictures is regulated by Federal and state anti-trust
laws and has been the subject of numerous anti-trust cases.  Consent decrees
resulting from one of the most significant cases, to which the Company was not a
party, have an impact on the theatrical exhibition business.  Those consent
decrees bind certain major film distributors and require the films of such
distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including the Company, on
a theatre-by-theatre basis.  Consequently, the Company cannot assure itself of a
supply of films by entering into long-term agreements with  major film
distributors, but must compete for its film licenses on a film-by-film and
theatre-by-theatre basis.

The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), and certain state statutes
among other things, require that places of public accommodation, including
theatres (both existing and newly constructed), be accessible to and that
assistive listening devices be available for use by certain patrons with
disabilities.  With respect to access to theatres, the ADA may require that
certain modifications be made to existing theatres to make such theatres
accessible to certain theatre patrons and employees who are disabled.  The ADA
requires that theatres be constructed in such a manner that persons with
disabilities have full use of the theatre and its facilities and reasonable
access to work stations.  The ADA provides for a private right of action and
reimbursement of plaintiff's attorneys' fees and expenses under certain
circumstances.  The Company has established a program to review and evaluate the
Company's theatres and to make any changes that may be required by the ADA.  In
1995, the Company settled the lawsuit styled Connie Arnold et al. vs. UATC,
filed in 1991.  This lawsuit involved allegations that certain of the Company's
theatres lacked accessibility to persons with mobility disabilities in violation
of the ADA.  In the settlement agreement, the Company, the plaintiffs and the
Department of Justice established standards of modifications that must be made
to the Company's theatres throughout the United States to make them more
accessible to persons with disabilities.  The Company believes that the cost of
complying with the ADA and the settlement agreement in the Connie Arnold case
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
liquidity or results of operations.

Other
-----
The Company has not expended material amounts on research and development during
the past three years.

There is no customer or affiliated group of customers to which sales are made in
an amount that exceeds 10% of the Company's consolidated revenue.

Compliance with Federal, state and local laws and regulations which have been
enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment,
or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has had no material
effect upon the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of
operations.

</TABLE>

Of the 335 owned and operated theatres, nine theatres (30 screens) are held
through two corporations that are owned 75% by the Company and two theatres (19
screens) are held by two partnerships, each owned 51% by the Company.  The
remaining owned and operated theatres are held directly by the Company or its
wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The managed theatres include six theatres (19
screens) located in the United States and the rest are in countries outside of
the United States and are all held by corporations owned 50% or less by the
Company.  Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company opened one theatre (nine
screens) in Thailand.

The Company leases the land, building and equipment in the theatres owned by UAR
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Prop I and Prop II (prior to December 1995),
in accordance with two master affiliate leases.  In conjunction with the 1995
Sale and Leaseback, the Prop II master lease was canceled.  The UAR and Prop I
master leases expire in 2003 and provide for options to extend the leases at the
Company's option for up to an additional ten years.

The Company owns directly or through its subsidiaries substantially all of the
theatre equipment used in its fee-owned theatres and theatres leased from
unaffiliated third parties.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-------------------------

The Company is involved in various pending and threatened legal proceedings
involving allegations concerning contract breaches, torts, employment matters,
environmental issues, anti-trust violations, local tax disputes and
miscellaneous other matters. In addition, there are other various claims against
the Company relating to certain of the leases held by the Company. Although it
is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, the Company
believes that such legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holder
----------------------------------------------------------

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the security holder during the
quarter ended December 31, 1997.

-------  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's common stock is held entirely by OSCAR I and there is no market
for the common stock.

The Company has not paid a cash dividend on its common stock during the past two
years.  The Company is restricted by its senior credit facilities as to the
amount of dividends that it can declare and pay on its common stock.

      REVENUE FROM OPERATING THEATRES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
      --------------------------------------------------------------------
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

ADMISSIONS:  Admissions revenue increased 1.6% during 1997 as compared to 1996,
despite a 10.4% decline in the average number of theatres operated.  This
increase was primarily due to a 7.0% increase in the average ticket price,
partially offset by a 5.0% decrease in attendance.  The increase in the average
ticket price for 1997 was primarily due to an increase in the percentage of full
priced tickets purchased and certain selective increases in ticket prices during
1997 and late 1996.  The decrease in attendance for 1997 was primarily due to
decreases in the number of weighted average theatres and screens operated during
the year.  Admissions per weighted average operating theatre and screen
increased 13.4% and 6.0%, respectively, during 1997 as compared to 1996.  These
admissions increases were primarily due to an increase in the number of films
released and the success of those films and the opening of several new theatres,
which have higher admissions per theatre and screen, the sale or closure of
several less productive theatres, and the 1997 and late 1996 increases in ticket
prices, partially offset by decreased attendance.

CONCESSION SALES:  Concession sales revenue increased 2.4% during 1997 as
compared to 1996.  This increase was primarily due to a 7.8% increase in the
average concession sale per patron, partially offset by the decreased attendance
discussed above.  Concession sales per weighted average operating theatre
increased 14.3% during 1997 as compared to 1996.  The increases in the average
concession sale per patron and concession sales per weighted average operating
theatre were primarily due to certain selective price increases during 1997 and
late 1996, the Company's increased emphasis on sales staff training, the opening
of several new theatres with more efficient concession operations, the sale or
closure of several less productive theatres and the introduction of new
concession menu items at certain theatres.

The following table sets forth the admissions and concession sales revenue for
theatres operated throughout all of 1997 and 1996 (dollars in millions):

</TABLE>
This "same theatre" analysis eliminates the effect of new theatre openings,
sales or closures during 1997 or 1996.

OTHER:  Other revenue is derived primarily from on-screen advertising,
electronic video games located in theatre lobbies, theatre rentals, the rental
of theatres on a networked and non-networked basis for corporate meetings,
seminars and other training/educational uses by the Satellite Theatre Network,
and other miscellaneous sources.  Other revenue decreased 16.6% during 1997 as
compared to 1996 primarily as a result of the Company operating fewer weighted
average operating theatres and a decrease in revenue from on-screen advertising.

      REVENUE FROM OPERATING THEATRES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

ADMISSIONS:  Admissions revenue increased 2.1% during 1996 as compared to 1995.
This increase was primarily the result of a 2.7% increase in average ticket
prices, partially offset by a 0.6% decrease in attendance.  The increase in
average ticket prices was due primarily to a decline in the number of tickets
sold for lower priced matinee shows and to an increase in ticket prices during
late 1996.  The decrease in attendance for 1996 was primarily related to the
release of a fewer number of "blockbuster" films during the Summer Olympic Games
and the adverse effect of the Olympics on films which were being shown.  While
Independence Day and A Time to Kill performed very well during the Olympics, the
attendance for several other films in the marketplace during July and August
appeared to be adversely impacted.  Admissions per weighted average operating
theatre and screen increased 5.7% and 0.8%, respectively, during 1996 as
compared to 1995 primarily as a result of several new theatres opened by the
Company which have higher admissions per screen, the sale or closure of several
smaller (in terms of screens) less productive theatres, and the average ticket
prices and attendance fluctuations discussed above.

<PAGE>

CONCESSION SALES:  Concession sales revenue increased 3.9% during 1996 as
compared to 1995 primarily as a result of a 4.5% increase in the average
concession sale per patron, partially offset by the decreased attendance
discussed above.  Concession sales per weighted average operating theatre
increased 7.6% during 1996 as compared to 1995.  The increases in average
concession sales per patron and concession sales per weighted average operating
theatre were primarily attributable to certain selective price increases in late
1996, the Company's increased emphasis on training, the installation of bulk
candy stands in May 1995, the renovation of concession stands at certain
existing theatres, the opening of several new theatres and the closure of
certain less efficient older, smaller theatres.

The following table sets forth the admissions and concession sales revenue for
theatres operated throughout all of 1996 and 1995 (dollars in millions):

  Concession sales                                   163.1 157.2     3.8
</TABLE>

OTHER:  Other revenue increased 94.7% (or $12.6 million) during 1996 as compared
to 1995 primarily as a result of increased revenue from the Company's on-screen
advertising and Satellite Theatre Network.

            OPERATING EXPENSES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

FILM RENTAL AND ADVERTISING EXPENSES:  Film rental and advertising expenses
increased 2.1% during 1997 as compared to 1996.  Film rental and advertising
expenses as a percentage of admissions revenue were 55.4% for 1997 and 55.1% for
1996.  The increase in film rental and advertising expenses as a percentage of
admissions revenue for 1997 was primarily due to the shorter run of several
major films released in the second quarter of 1997, partially offset by slightly
lower advertising expenses.  Typically, film rental as a percentage of
admissions revenue increases when a higher percentage of a film's total
admissions is collected in the opening weeks of a film's run.  Advertising
expenses were lower as a result of more efficient buying of print advertising by
the Company and distributors and to fewer number of theatres operated.

CONCESSION COSTS:  Concession costs include direct concession product costs and
concession promotional expenses.  Such costs increased 3.1% during 1997 as
compared to 1996.  Concession costs as a percentage of concession sales were
15.9% for 1997 and 15.8% for 1996.  The slight increase in concession costs as a
percentage of concession sales for 1997 was primarily due to an increase in the
cost of certain commodity priced items such as corn seed and oil.

PERSONNEL EXPENSE:  Personnel expense includes the salary and wages of the
theatre manager and all theatre staff, commissions on concession sales, payroll
taxes and employee benefits.  Personnel expense decreased 0.9% during 1997 as
compared to 1996.  This decrease in personnel expense in 1997 was primarily due
to more efficient theatre staffing and fewer weighted average operating
theatres, partially offset by the increases in the Federal (and certain state)
minimum wage in late 1996 and late 1997.  These increases resulted in a 7.4%
increase in the average hourly wage paid to theatre staff in 1997 versus 1996.
Despite the increases in the Federal minimum wage in 1997 and 1996, personnel
expense as a percentage of admissions and concession sales revenue decreased to
14.4% in 1997 from 14.8% in 1996.  These improved payroll statistics relate to
more efficient staffing and some increases in ticket and concession sales.
Additionally, the Company's personnel expense efficiencies have been positively
impacted by the closure or sale of several less efficient theatres and the
opening of several new larger, more efficient multiplex theatres and reduced
expenses for fringe benefits.

OCCUPANCY EXPENSE:  The Company's typical theatre lease arrangement provides for
a base rental as well as contingent rental that is a function of the underlying
theatre's revenue over an agreed upon breakpoint.  Total occupancy expense
increased 5.3% during 1997 as compared to 1996.  This increase in 1997 relates
to higher contingent rentals, rentals on newly opened theatres and rentals
related to the sale and leaseback transaction completed in late 1996, partially
offset by the decrease in the number of weighted average operating theatres.
Occupancy expense includes non-cash charges relating to the effect of escalating
leases which have been "straight lined" for accounting purposes of $3.7 million
and $3.1 million for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATING EXPENSES:  Miscellaneous operating expenses consist of
utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, real estate and other taxes,
supplies and other miscellaneous operating expenses.  Miscellaneous operating
expenses decreased 0.5% during 1997 as compared to 1996.  This decrease in 1997
relates primarily to reduced utilities, repairs and maintenance and insurance
associated with fewer weighted average theatres, partially offset by additional
expenses associated with the Company's Satellite Theatre Network.

            OPERATING EXPENSES FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
                  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

FILM RENTAL AND ADVERTISING EXPENSES:  Film rental and advertising expenses
increased 3.5% during 1996 as compared to 1995.  Film rental and advertising
expenses as a percentage of admissions revenue were 55.1% for 1996 and 54.4% for
1995.  The increase in film rental and advertising expense as a percentage of
admissions revenue for 1996 related primarily to an increase in the percentage
of revenue from higher cost "blockbuster" films released during 1996 and the
absence of many very successful lower budget films.  In addition, due to an
increase in the number of films released and the effect of the Summer Olympic
Games during the summer of 1996, several films had shorter runs with a higher
percentage of their total admissions falling during the opening weeks.

DIRECT CONCESSION COSTS:  Direct concession costs decreased 0.7% during 1996 as
compared to 1995.  Direct concession costs as a percentage of concession sales
revenue were 15.8% for 1996 and 16.6% for 1995.  The decrease in direct
concession costs during 1996 was primarily due to the sale of advertising on
popcorn and soft drink containers, partially offset by higher concession sales
revenue and costs attributable to increased sales of bulk candy.

PERSONNEL EXPENSE:  Personnel expense increased 1.3% during 1996 as compared to
1995.  The increase in personnel expense in 1996 is primarily attributable to
the increase of the Federal minimum wage law increase which went into effect on
October 1, 1996 and to an increase in the number of weighted average operating
screens, offset by more efficient theatre staffing.  While the increase in the
Federal minimum wage affected a large number of the Company's theatres, it had a
significant impact on the average hourly wage paid to the Company's theatre
employees located in smaller and mid-sized markets.  Personnel expense as a
percentage of admissions and concession sales revenue declined in 1996 to 14.8%
as compared to 15.0% in 1995.  This decrease was primarily attributable to
changes in the theatre manager commission structure, which focused on more
efficient staffing of theatres.

OCCUPANCY EXPENSE:  Total occupancy expense increased 17.4% during 1996 as
compared to 1995.  This increase in 1996 relates primarily to $11.1 million of
incremental rent in 1996 associated with those theatres that were part of the
1995 Sale and Leaseback and the 1996 sale and leaseback transaction and
incremental base rentals associated with newly opened theatres, partially offset
by fewer weighted average operating theatres.  Additionally, occupancy expense
includes non-cash charges relating to the effect of escalating leases which have
been "straight-lined" for accounting purposes of $3.1 million and $2.0 million
for 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Excluding the rent associated with the 1995
Sale and Leaseback and the 1996 sale and leaseback transaction and the non-cash
rent, occupancy expense would have increased only 0.8% during 1996 as compared
to 1995.

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATING EXPENSES:  Miscellaneous operating expenses increased
6.7% during 1996 as compared to 1995.  This increase relates primarily to
increased operating expenses associated with the Satellite Theatre Network and
normal inflationary increases.

        OTHER EXPENSES FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 1997, 1996 AND 1995

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
-----------------------------------------------------------

General and administrative expense consists primarily of costs associated with
corporate theatre administrative and operating personnel, international staff,
Satellite Theatre Network sales and marketing staff and other support functions
located at the Company's corporate headquarters, two film booking and three
regional operating offices and 13 district theatre operations offices (generally
located in theatres).  At the end of 1996, the Company initiated a corporate
restructuring plan intended to provide a higher level of focus on the Company's
domestic theatrical business at a lower annual cost.  As a result of this
corporate restructuring plan, which was substantially completed in January 1997,
general and administrative expenses decreased $10.8 million in 1997, or 31.3%,
as compared to 1996.  During 1996, administrative costs decreased $0.1 million

                                       18
<PAGE>

primarily as a result of $2.1 million of non-recurring severance and litigation
charges accrued in 1995, partially offset by normal annual salary adjustments,
as well as increased professional and legal fees.  During 1997 and 1996, the
Company recorded $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of restructuring
charges relating to severance and other related expenses associated with the
Company's corporate restructuring.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION AND PROVISIONS FOR ASSET IMPAIRMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------

Depreciation and amortization expense includes the depreciation of theatre
buildings and equipment, the amortization of theatre lease costs and certain
non-compete agreements and non-cash provisions for asset impairments.  The
provision for asset impairments relates to non-cash charges for the difference
between the historical book value of individual theatres (in some cases, groups
of theatres) and the net discounted cash flow expected to be received from the
operation or future sale of the individual theatre (or groups of theatres).
Depreciation and amortization increased $8.6 million in 1997 as compared to 1996
and decreased $6.3 million in 1996 as compared to 1995.  The 1997 increase was
primarily due to $31.4 million of non-cash provisions for asset impairments
offset by lower amortization of non-compete agreements. The 1996 decrease was
primarily due to a decline in the amount of non-cash provisions for asset
impairments from $21.0 million in 1995 to $8.7 million in 1996, offset by
depreciation charges on the Company's newly opened theatres. Included in
depreciation and amortization expense for each of the years ending December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995 was $9.0 million, $24.0 million and $24.0 million,
respectively, relating to certain assets, non-compete agreements and other
assets acquired as part of the Acquisition which were being amortized over a
five year life. In May 1997, such assets were fully amortized and, as a result,
no further amortization expense will be recorded related to those assets.

OPERATING LOSS
--------------

The Company incurred operating losses of $5.6 million, $7.1 million, and $11.9
million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As
shown in the table below, prior to the Company recording non-cash provisions for
asset impairments, the Company recognized operating income of $25.8 million,
$1.6 million and $9.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively ($ in millions).

</TABLE>

The increase in operating income before non-cash provisions for asset
impairments in 1997 was primarily due to the operating improvements discussed
above, savings associated with the Company's corporate restructuring in December
1996 and reduced depreciation and amortization expenses in 1997 versus 1996.
The reduction in operating income before non-cash provisions for asset
impairments in 1996 was primarily due to $11.1 million of incremental rent
associated with the 1995 Sale and Leaseback, partially offset by increased
operating margins.

INTEREST, NET
-------------

Interest, net increased $0.2 million in 1997 as compared to 1996 and decreased
$2.3 million in 1996 as compared to 1995.  The 1997 increase was primarily due
to a slightly higher average outstanding debt balance. The 1996 decrease was
primarily due to lower market interest rates on floating rate borrowings
partially offset by a slightly higher average outstanding debt balance.

GAIN (LOSS) ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS, NET
-----------------------------------------

During April 1997, the Company sold its 50% interest in a Hong Kong theatre
company to its partner for approximately $17.5 million and during September
1997, the Company sold its theatre investments in Mexico and the majority of its
theatre assets in Argentina for approximately $25.0 million.  In addition,
various non-strategic or underperforming operating theatres and real estate
assets were sold for net cash proceeds of approximately $17.0 million.  In
conjunction with these sales, the Company recognized $21.9 million of gains.
During 1996, the Company sold certain theatres for which cash proceeds of $20.5
million were received.  In conjunction with these sales, the Company recognized
$1.3 million of gains.  During 1995, the Company incurred losses on the
disposition of assets of $13.9 million.  These losses relate primarily to the
sale of certain theatres for which net cash proceeds of $7.7 million were
received, and the termination or non-renewal of leases related to theatres,
which were closed. The theatres sold and closed were primarily non-strategic or
underperforming.

                                       19
<PAGE>

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
------------------
Income tax expense consists of current state and Federal income taxes of the
Company's less than 80%-owned consolidated subsidiaries.  At December 31, 1997,
the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $214.0
million.  The income tax returns of OSCAR I are currently being audited by the
Internal Revenue Service.  The outcome of this audit may reduce the amount of
OSCAR I's net operating loss carryforward and/or change the basis (and thus
future tax depreciation) related to certain assets.  The Company believes that
the result of the audit will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.

NET LOSS
--------
During 1997, the Company incurred a net loss of $27.8 million as compared to
$46.6 million in 1996.  This decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to
an increase in the operating margins at the Company's theatres and the gain
recognized on the sale of certain of the Company's international theatre
operations and certain other operating theatres and real estate assets, offset
by non-cash provisions for asset impairments. During 1996, the Company incurred
a net loss of $46.6 million as compared to $68.9 million in 1995.  This decrease
in net loss was due to a decrease in operating loss and to $13.9 million of
losses recognized on the disposition of assets during 1995.  Despite the $11.1
million increase in occupancy costs during 1996 associated with various sale
leaseback transactions, operating loss decreased primarily as a result of a 4.5%
increase in total operating revenue and a $6.3 million decrease in depreciation
and amortization.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the year ended December 31, 1997, net cash provided by the Company's
operating activities increased to $48.7 million from $28.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996.  This net cash provided by operating activities was
$34.0 million in excess of cash used in investing activities, which provided for
a $28.3 million reduction in net debt balances.  During 1996, the net cash
provided by operating activities was $30.3 million less than cash used in
investing activities.

Substantially all of the Company's admissions and concession sales revenue is
collected in cash. Due to the unfavorable interest rate spread between bank
facility borrowings and cash investments, the Company seeks to use all of its
available cash to repay its revolving bank borrowings and borrow under those
facilities as cash is required.  The Company benefits from the fact that film
expenses (except for films that require advances) are usually paid 15 to 45 days
after the admissions revenue is collected.

On December 13, 1995, the Company entered into the 1995 Sale and Leaseback
pursuant to which ten of its operating theatres and the associated land and
buildings and four theatres and a four screen addition under development were
sold to, and leased back from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately
$47.1 million.  At December 31, 1996, approximately $7.8 million of sales
proceeds were held in escrow for the final theatre and the screen addition under
construction.  These proceeds were paid to the Company in 1997 when construction
of the remaining theatre and the screen addition was completed.

In November 1996, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction
pursuant to which three of its operating theatres and the associated land and
buildings and two theatres under development were sold to, and leased back from,
an unaffiliated third party for approximately $21.5 million.  The sales proceeds
related to the two theatres under development (approximately $12.3 million) were
deposited into an escrow account to be used to fund the related construction
costs.  During 1997, the Company opened one of the theatres under development
and received approximately $10.8 million of proceeds from the escrow account.

On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction
whereby two theatres currently under development were sold to, and leased back
from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately $18.1 million.  At December
31, 1997, approximately $13.5 million of the sales proceeds were deposited into
an escrow account and are to be paid under the terms of the sale and leaseback
to fund certain of the construction costs associated with the two theatres.

                                       20
<PAGE>

In December 1996, the Company initiated a new investment strategy that focuses
on the development of new theatres and renovation and expansion of existing high
revenue theatres in the United States where the Company has a significant
operating presence.  As part of this increased focus on its U.S. operations, the
Company restructured and realigned its corporate overhead functions and has sold
most of its international investments.  The proceeds received from the sale of
international investments and corporate overhead savings were redeployed into
new theatre developments or the renovation of existing key theatres in the
Company's core markets and used to repay existing debt. The international
investments sold included the Company's Hong Kong, Mexico and certain of its
Argentina theatre investments. Proceeds related to these sales were
approximately $42.5 million. The Company currently has an agreement to sell a
portion of its investments in Singapore and Thailand for $8.1 million. After the
consummation of such sale, the Company will retain a 10.0% interest in four
theatres in Singapore and Thailand.

As part of its strategic plan, the Company intends to continue to dispose of,
through sale or lease terminations, certain of its non-strategic or
underperforming operating theatres and real estate.   Net proceeds, if any, from
these increased disposition efforts are also expected to be used to repay
existing debt or to be redeployed into new, larger (in terms of screens), higher
margin theatres.  While there can be no assurance that such sales or lease
termination efforts will be successful, negotiations are ongoing with respect to
several other theatres and parcels of real estate.  During the year ended
December 31, 1997, the Company closed or sold 44 theatres (170 screens).  The
theatres that were closed or sold were primarily non-strategic or
underperforming.

In an effort to limit the amount of investment exposure on any one project, the
Company typically develops theatre projects where both the land and building are
leased through long-term operating leases. Where such lease transactions are
unavailable, however, the Company will invest in the land and development of the
entire theatre facility (fee owned) and then seek to enter into a sale and
leaseback transaction.  Regardless of whether the theatre is leased or fee
owned, in most cases the equipment and other theatre fixtures are owned by the
Company.  For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company invested
approximately $65.8 million on the development of 13 new theatres (132 screens)
that opened during the period, construction on ten new theatres (119 screens)
and screen additions or renovations to 12 theatres expected to open during 1998
or 1999 and recurring maintenance on certain existing theatres.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had entered into construction or lease
agreements for ten new theatres and for screen additions or renovations to 12
existing theatres that the Company intends to open or renovate during the next
two years. The Company estimates that capital expenditures associated with these
theatres will aggregate approximately $100.0 million. Such amounts relate only
to projects in which the Company has executed a definitive lease and all
significant lease contingencies have been satisfied. The Company expects
additional capital expenditures to be made as other projects are finalized. Of
the committed amount, approximately $15.0 million will be funded from proceeds
of certain sale and leaseback transactions currently held in escrow.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $226.5 million of
indebtedness outstanding under its bank credit facility and approximately $55.8
million of unused revolving loan commitments thereunder (of which $11.1 million
of which had been used for the issuance of letters of credit).

The Company is party to interest rate cap agreements on $100.0 million of
floating rate debt which provide for a LIBOR interest rate cap of 7 1/2% per
annum and expire at various dates through 1999.  The terms of the Company's bank
credit facility require the Company to obtain interest rate hedges on a certain
portion of its indebtedness thereunder.  The Company amortizes the cost of its
interest rate cap agreements to interest expense over the life of the underlying
agreement.  Amounts received from the counterparties to the interest rate cap
agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense.

The level of continued investing activities by the Company is dependent on,
among other factors, its on-going operating liquidity and other sources of
liquidity.  One measure commonly used in the theatrical industry to measure
operating liquidity is referred to as "Interest Coverage."  Interest Coverage is
the ratio of Operating Cash Flow or EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and other non-recurring or non-cash operating credits
or charges) to interest expense (excluding amortization of deferred loan costs).
As described previously, several non-recurring or non-cash operating charges
were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 1997, 1996 and
1995 which adversely affected the Company's Operating Income for such years.
Following is a calculation of Operating Cash Flow and Interest Coverage for each
of the last three years, including a reconciliation of Operating Income to
Operating Cash Flow ($ in millions):

</TABLE>

As shown above, the Company's interest coverage increased during 1997 as
compared to 1996 primarily because of increased Operating Cash Flow.  The
Company's interest coverage increased during 1996 as compared to 1995 due
primarily to lower interest expense, despite $11.1 million of incremental sale
and leaseback rentals.  The lower interest expense in 1996 was due to lower
market interest rates.

Operating Cash Flow is one measure of value and borrowing capacity commonly used
in the theatrical exhibition industry and is not intended to be a substitute for
Operating Cash Flow as defined in the Company's debt agreements or for cash
flows provided by operating activities, a measure of performance provided herein
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be
relied upon as such.  The Operating Cash Flow as set forth above does not take
into consideration certain costs of doing business, and as such, should not be
considered in isolation to other measures of performance.

Another measure of liquidity is net cash provided by operating activities as
reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.  Net cash
provided by operating activities was $48.7 million, $28.4 million and $42.0
million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
This measurement sets forth the net cash from the operations of the Company
which was available for the Company's liquidity needs after taking into
consideration certain additional costs of doing business which are not reflected
in the Operating Cash Flow calculations discussed above.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, net cash provided by operating activities
exceed net cash used in investing activities by $34.0 million, as compared to
deficits of $30.3 million and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

Certain notes of Prop I outstanding pursuant to an Indenture of Mortgage, dated
October 1, 1988 ("the "Prop I Mortgage Notes"), will mature on November 1, 1998.
The outstanding principal balance of the Prop I Mortgage Notes on the maturity
date will be approximately $45.7 million.  Management believes that the proceeds
necessary to repay the Prop I Mortgage Notes at the maturity date will be
provided by the Company's operating activities or such Prop I Mortgage Notes may
be refinanced by a new debt facility or a new sale and leaseback transaction or
otherwise.

The Company believes that the net cash provided by operations and borrowings
available under bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its future
cash requirements.  The Company expects that future cash requirements will
principally be for repayments of indebtedness, working capital requirements and
capital expenditures.  The Company's future operating performance and ability to
service or refinance its current indebtedness will be subject to future economic
conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are
beyond the Company's control. Additionally, the Company's ability to incur
additional indebtedness may be limited by the 1995 Sale and Leaseback
agreements.

From time to time, the Company evaluates the value of its theatres and other
assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." To the extent such
values are less than the recorded amounts for such assets, the Company may
recognize a non-cash charge to reflect an impairment.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On November 19, 1997, OSCAR I entered into a definitive recapitalization
agreement (the "Recapitalization Agreement") with an affiliate of Hicks Muse.
The Recapitalization Agreement provided for (i) the sale of newly-issued common
stock of OSCAR I to Hicks Muse for $266.0 million and the simultaneous
repurchase by OSCAR I of approximately the same number of shares of common stock
of OSCAR I owned by its existing stockholders (including management), after
which sale and repurchase Hicks Muse would own approximately

                                       22

88.8% of the outstanding common stock of OSCAR I; (ii) the redemption of OSCAR
I's preferred stock; (iii) the redemption of the Company's senior secured notes
(the "Senior Secured Notes") with a new subordinated debt issue; and (iv) the
establishment of a new bank credit facility to refinance the Company's existing
bank credit facility and provide additional working capital. In late January
1998, just prior to the scheduled closing date, Hicks Muse indicated that they
were unwilling to close on the terms of the Recapitalization Agreement. Due to
the failure by Hicks Muse to close on the agreed terms, MLCP terminated the
Recapitalization Agreement on February 20, 1998.

After the termination, the Company decided to pursue a refinancing of its
existing bank credit facility and the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes and
the preferred stock of OSCAR I. This refinancing is expected to involve the
issuance of $275.0 million of new senior subordinated debt securities and a new
senior bank credit facility of $400-$450 million. It is expected that these new
debt securities will be issued by OSCAR I with a guarantee by the Company of the
new senior bank credit facility. There can be no assurance as to whether or when
any such refinancing and redemption will be completed. While it is not possible
to predict the final terms of the new debt securities or new bank credit
facility, the Company expects the new bank credit facility will provide the
Company with additional borrowing availability and expects them to have a lower
overall interest rate than the interest rate on the Company's current bank
credit facility and dividend rate on the OSCAR I preferred stock. While there
can be no assurance as to the timing of the refinancing and redemption, the
Company expects to complete such transactions during the second quarter of 1998.
The offering of such new debt securities will not be registered under the
Securities Act and such new debt securities may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.

The Company's revenues have been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of
releases of motion pictures by the major distributors.  Generally, the most
successful motion pictures have been released during the summer extending from
Memorial Day to Labor Day and the holiday season extending from Thanksgiving
through year-end.  The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods
can alter this traditional trend.  The timing of such film releases can have a
significant effect on the Company's results of operations, and the results of
one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or
for the same period in the following year.  In the first quarter of 1997, the
Company experienced favorable operating results compared to the prior period,
principally due to the release of several popular motion pictures and the
occurrence of Easter in such quarter. Although the Company's operating results
for the first two months of 1998 exceeded those for the first two months of 1997
the Company does not expect its operating results for the first quarter of 1998
to equal those achieved in the first quarter of 1997. Historically, the
principal impact of inflation and changing prices upon the Company has been with
respect to the construction of new theatres, the purchase of theatre equipment
and the utility and labor costs incurred in connection with continuing theatre
operations. Film rental fees, which are the largest operating expense incurred
by the Company, are customarily paid as a percentage of admissions revenue and
hence while the film rental fees may increase on an absolute basis the
percentages are not directly affected by inflation. Inflation and changing
prices have not had a significant impact on the Company's total revenues and
results of operations.

The Company has initiated a review of its internal information systems for Year
2000 transition problems and, although such review is still in progress,
believes that conversion requirements will not result in significant disruption
of the Company's business operations or have a material adverse effect on its
future liquidity or results of operations.  The Company has not extensively
investigated the Year 2000 compliance of its customers, suppliers and other
third parties with whom it has business relationships, but intends to make
selected inquiries.  Compliance by such third parties is voluntary and failures
could occur, in which case there is the possibility of a material adverse effect
on the Company.  However, the nature of the Company's business and its business
relationships are not such that the Company considers the potential Year 2000
compliance failure of a third party with whom it has a direct business
relationship likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

(1)  ORGANIZATION

     On May 12, 1992, United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. and substantially
     all of its then existing subsidiaries (the "Company") were acquired (the
     "Acquisition") by OSCAR I Corporation ("OSCAR I") from an indirect
     subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI").  OSCAR I is owned by an
     investment fund managed by affiliates of Merrill Lynch Capital Partners,
     Inc., ("MLCP") and certain institutional investors (collectively the "Non-
     Management Investors"), and certain members of the Company's management.

     In addition to owning all of the outstanding capital stock of the
     Company, OSCAR I also owns all of the outstanding capital stock of United
     Artists Realty Company ("UAR").  UAR and its subsidiary United Artists
     Properties I Corp. ("Prop I") are the owners and lessors of certain
     operating theatre properties leased to and operated by the Company.  Prior
     to December 13, 1995, UAR's other subsidiary, United Artists Properties II
     Corp. ("Prop II"), was also the owner and lessor of certain theatre
     properties leased to and operated by the Company.

(2)  SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

     On December 13, 1995, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback
     transaction (the "1995 Sale and Leaseback") whereby the buildings and land
     underlying ten of its  operating theatres and four theatres under
     development were sold to, and leased back from, the 1995-A United Artists
     Pass Through Trust (the "Pass Through Trust"), an unaffiliated third party,
     for approximately $47.1 million. A portion of the sale proceeds were used
     to pay certain transaction expenses and repay the outstanding revolving
     bank debt of the Company and the remainder was held in short-term cash
     investments at December 31, 1995.  The proceeds related to three of the
     theatres under development (approximately $14.2 million) were initially
     deposited into an escrow account and were paid to the Company during 1996
     after construction of the theatres was completed.  The proceeds related to
     one of the new theatres and a four-screen addition to an existing theatre
     under development (approximately $7.8 million) were deposited into the same
     escrow account and were paid to the Company in 1997 when construction of
     the new theatre and the screen addition was completed.  The 1995 Sale and
     Leaseback requires the Company to lease the underlying theatres for a
     period of 21 years and one month, with the option to extend for up to an
     additional 10 years.  An agreement with the Pass Through Trust requires the
     maintenance of certain financial covenants by the Company.

     On November 8, 1996, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback
     transaction whereby the buildings and land underlying three of its
     operating theatres and two theatres under development were sold to, and
     leased back from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately $21.5
     million.  The sales proceeds relating to the three operating theatres
     (approximately $9.2 million) were used to pay certain transaction expenses
     and repay outstanding bank debt.  The sales proceeds related to the two
     theatres under development (approximately $12.3 million) were deposited
     into an escrow account and are to be paid under the terms of the sale and
     leaseback to fund certain of the construction costs associated with the two
     theatres.  During 1997, the Company opened one of the theatres under
     development and received approximately $10.8 million of proceeds from the
     escrow account. The lease has a term of 20 years and nine months with
     options to extend for an additional 10 years.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

(2)  SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED

     On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback
     transaction whereby two theatres currently under development were sold to,
     and leased back from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately $18.1
     million.  At December 31, 1997, approximately $13.5 million of the sales
     proceeds were deposited into an escrow account and are to be paid under the
     terms of the sale and leaseback to fund certain of the construction costs
     associated with the two theatres.  The lease has a term of 22 years with
     options to extend for an additional 10 years.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a)  Principles of Consolidation
          ---------------------------

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.  All significant
          intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
          consolidation.

     (b)  Nature of Operations
          --------------------
          The Company is principally engaged in the operation of motion
          picture theatres.

     (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
          -------------------------

          The Company considers investments with initial maturities of three
          months or less to be cash equivalents.  Transactions effected through
          intercompany accounts are considered to be constructive cash receipts
          and payments.

     (d)  Investments
          -----------

          Investments in which the Company's ownership is 20% to 50% are
          accounted for using the equity method.  Under this method, the
          investment, originally recorded at cost,  is adjusted to recognize
          dividends received and the Company's share of net earnings or losses
          of the investee as they occur.  Investments in which the Company's
          ownership is less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method.
          Under this method, the investments are recorded at cost and any
          dividends received are recorded as income.

     (e)  Property and Equipment
          ----------------------

          Property and equipment are stated at cost, including acquisition
          costs allocated to tangible assets acquired.  Construction costs,
          including applicable direct overhead, are capitalized. Repairs and
          maintenance are charged to operations.

          Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
          estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years.
          Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the leases,
          including certain renewal periods or, in the case of certain
          improvements, the estimated useful lives of the assets, if shorter.
          Costs associated with new theatre construction are depreciated once
          such theatres are placed in service.

     (f)  Intangible Assets
          -----------------

          Intangible assets consist of theatre lease acquisition costs and
          non-compete agreements.  Amortization of theatre lease acquisition
          costs and non-compete agreements is calculated on a straight-line
          basis over the terms of the underlying leases including certain
          renewal periods (weighted average life of approximately 17 years) and
          non-compete agreements (primarily 5 years).  During 1997,
          approximately $100 million of non-compete agreements relating to the
          Acquisition were fully amortized.  Intangible assets and related
          accumulated amortization are summarized as follows (amounts in
          millions):

     (g)  Other Assets
          ------------

          Other assets primarily consist of deferred loan and acquisition
          costs.  Amortization of the deferred loan costs is calculated on a
          straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying loan agreements
          (average life of approximately seven years) and is included as a
          component of interest expense.  Amortization of the deferred
          acquisition costs is calculated on a straight line basis over five
          years.  During 1997, approximately $18.4 million of deferred
          acquisition costs relating to the Acquisition and approximately $7.2
          million of other assets were fully amortized.  Other assets and
          related accumulated amortization are summarized as follows (amounts in

     (h)  Operating Costs and Expenses
          ----------------------------

          Film rental and advertising expenses include film rental and co-op
          and directory advertising costs. Film advertising costs are expensed
          as incurred.  Direct concession costs include direct concession
          product costs and concession promotional expenses.  Concession
          promotional expenses are expensed as incurred.  Other operating
          expenses include joint facility costs such as employee costs, theatre
          rental and utilities, which are common to both ticket sales and
          concession operations. As such, other operating expenses are reported
          as a combined amount as the allocation of such costs to exhibition and
          concession activities would be arbitrary and not meaningful.  Rental
          expense for operating leases which provide for escalating minimum
          annual rentals during the term of the lease are accounted for on a
          straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying leases.

     (i)  Estimates
          ---------

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
          estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
          and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
          reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(4)  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     Cash payments for interest for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
     and 1995, were $36.3 million, $37.3 million and $35.0 million,
     respectively.

     Cash payments by certain less than 80% owned entities for income taxes
     for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, were $1.4 million,
     $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

     The Company accrued $23.8 million, $20.9 million and $18.3 million of
     dividends during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, on its preferred stock (see note 7).

     During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred $1.1 million, $1.4
     million and $2.4 million, respectively, of capital lease obligations
     relating to new equipment.

     During 1995, Prop II transferred equipment with a net historical basis
     of $6.1 million to the Company.

</TABLE>

     (a)  The Company's bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility")
          provides for term loans aggregating $203.5 million (the "Term Loans"),
          a reducing revolving loan with commitments aggregating $78.8 million
          (the "Revolving Facility") and standby letters of credit aggregating
          $12.5 million (the "Standby Letters of Credit").  Principal on the
          Term Loans is payable in escalating semi-annual installments through
          March 31, 2002.  The aggregate commitments available for borrowing
          under the Revolving Facility decline $8.75 million at December 31,
          1998, $13.125 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000 and $21.875
          million at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002.  Borrowings under the
          Bank Credit Facility provide for interest to be accrued at varying
          rates depending on the ratio of indebtedness to annualized operating
          cash flow, as defined.  Interest is payable at varying   dates
          depending on the type of rate selected by the Company, but no less
          frequently than once each quarter.  The Bank Credit Facility contains
          certain provisions that require the maintenance of certain financial
          ratios and place limitations on additional indebtedness, disposition
          of assets, capital expenditures and payment of dividends.  The Bank
          Credit Facility is secured by the stock of the Company and
          substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by
          OSCAR I and substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries.  During
          1997, the Company repaid $10.8 million on the Term Loans in
          conjunction with certain asset dispositions.  This repayment will be
          applied pro rata against the remaining semi-annual Term Loan principal
          installments.

(5)  DEBT, CONTINUED

     (b)  The senior secured notes (the "Senior Secured Notes") are due May
          1, 2002 and require repayments prior to maturity of $31.25 million on
          May 1, 2000 and on May 1, 2001.  The Senior Secured Notes accrue
          interest at 11 1/2% per annum, which is payable semi-annually. The
          Senior Secured Notes place limitations on, among other things,
          additional indebtedness, disposition of assets and payment of
          dividends.  The Senior Secured Notes are secured on a pari-passu basis
                                                                ----------
          with the Bank Credit Facility by the stock of the Company and
          substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries, and are guaranteed on
          a pari-passu basis with the Bank Credit Facility by OSCAR I and
            ----------
          substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries.  The Senior Secured
          Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company.  The redemption
          price of the Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 1997 was 104.313% of
          the outstanding principal balance.

     (c)  Other debt at December 31, 1997, consists of various term loans,
          mortgage notes, capital leases and other borrowings.  This other debt
          carries interest rates ranging from 7% to 12%. Principal and interest
          are payable at various dates through June 2007.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company was party to interest rate cap
     agreements on $100.0 million of floating rate debt which provide for a
     LIBOR interest rate cap of 7 1/2% and expire at various dates through July
     1999.  The Company is subject to credit risk exposure from non-performance
     of the counterparties to the interest rate cap agreements.  As the Company
     has historically received payments relating to its interest rate cap
     agreements, it does not anticipate such non-performance in the future.  The
     Company amortizes the cost of its interest rate cap agreements to interest
     expense over the life of the underlying agreement.  Amounts received from
     the counterparties to the interest rate cap agreements are recorded as a
     reduction of interest expense.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $55.8 million of
     unused revolving loan commitments pursuant to the Bank Credit Facility,
     $11.1 million of which has been used for the issuance of letters of credit.
     The Company pays commitment fees of 3/8% per annum on the average unused
     revolver commitments.

     Annual maturities of debt for each of the next five years and
     thereafter are summarized as follows (amounts in millions):

</TABLE>

     Bank Credit Facility and Other Debt:  The carrying amount of the
     Company's borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility and other debt
     approximates fair value because the interest rates on the majority of this
     debt floats with market interest rates.

     Senior Secured Notes:  The fair value of the Company's Senior Secured
     Notes is estimated based upon quoted market prices at December 31, 1997.

     Interest Rate Cap Agreements:  The fair value of the Company's interest
     rate cap agreements is estimated based upon dealer quotes for similar
     agreements at December 31, 1997.

(7)  PREFERRED STOCK

     The Company's preferred stock is redeemable at any time at the option
     of the Company at its stated liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid
     dividends.  Dividends accrue at a rate of 8% through December 31, 1995, 9%
     through December 31, 1996 and 14% thereafter, and are payable in cash or in
     kind through December 31, 1996.  Cash dividends are required for periods
     subsequent to December 31, 1996, provided that no provisions exist in any
     senior debt facility, which restricts such cash payments.  Currently, such
     restrictions exist.  Due to the perpetual nature of the preferred stock and
     the escalating terms of the required dividend rates, for financial
     reporting purposes, dividends have been accrued at a 14% per annum rate for
     all periods since issuance. At December 31, 1997, the actual redemption
     value in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock was approximately
     $152.1 million, or approximately $41.8 million less than the carrying
     amount at December 31, 1997.

(8)  COMMON STOCK

     The Company is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of its $1.00 par value
     common stock.  At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had 100 shares of
     common stock outstanding, all of which were held by OSCAR I.

     At December 31, 1997, OSCAR I had three stock-based compensation plans,
     which are described more fully in OSCAR I's financial statement footnotes,
     a copy of which is attached hereto.  The Company applies the provisions of
     Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
     Employees," and related Interpretations in accounting for OSCAR I's stock
     option plans.  No compensation cost has been recognized by the Company for
     any of OSCAR I's stock option plans.  The Company's compensation expense
     would not have been materially different had the Company recorded
     compensation expense for these three stock option plans in accordance with
     SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."

(9)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company leases certain of its theatres from UAR, Prop I and Prop II
     (prior to December 13, 1995) in accordance with three master leases. The
     master leases provide for basic monthly rentals and may require additional
     rentals, based on the revenue of the underlying theatre.  The lease
     arrangements with Prop I and Prop II  were entered into in conjunction with
     the placement of mortgage debt financing in 1988 and 1989, respectively.
     In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company issued $25.0 million of
     Standby Letters of Credit as part of its Bank Credit Facility.  In
     conjunction with the 1995 Sale and Leaseback, the Prop II mortgage debt was
     prepaid, the Prop II master lease was terminated and $12.5 million in
     Standby Letters of Credit issued by the Company were canceled.

     In order to fund the cost of additions and/or renovations to the
     theatres leased by the Company from UAR or Prop I, the Company has
     periodically made advances to UAR.  Interest on these advances accrues at
     the prime rate and amounted to $1.4 million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million
     for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     During 1997, the Company exchanged two fee-owned theatre properties
     with Prop I in return for a fee-owned property and a $2.7 million note.
     During 1996, the Company exchanged a fee-owned theatre property with Prop I
     in return for two fee-owned theatre properties and a $1.5 million note.
     The notes bear interest at the prime rate plus 1 1/2% and are due upon
     demand.

     In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a
     management agreement with UAR. Such management agreement provides for a fee
     to be paid to the Company in return for certain accounting and management
     services.  These fees are recorded as a reduction of general and
     administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements and approximated $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million for
     the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     At the end of 1996, the Company initiated a corporate restructuring
     plan intended to provide a higher level of focus on the Company's domestic
     theatrical business at a lower annual cost.  This corporate restructuring
     was substantially completed in January 1997.  In conjunction with this
     corporate restructuring plan, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $1.9
     million of restructuring charges in 1997 and 1996, respectively, for
     severance and other related expenses.

(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The UATC 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") provides that
     employees may contribute up to 10% of their compensation, subject to IRS
     limitations, to the Savings Plan.  Employee contributions are invested in
     various investment funds based upon elections made by the employee.  Prior
     to January 1, 1997, the Company matched 100% of each employee's
     contributions up to 10% of an employee's compensation.  As part of the
     corporate restructuring plan (see note 10), effective January 1, 1997, the
     Savings Plan was amended to provide for a Company match of 100% of each
     employee's contribution up to 3% of their compensation. Employees vest in
     the Company's matching contributions 20% per year for every year of
     service, as defined.

(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, CONTINUED

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company established the UATC
     Supplemental 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Supplemental Plan") for certain
     employees who are highly compensated as defined by the IRS and whose
     elective contributions to the Savings Plan exceed the IRS limitations.
     Through December 31, 1996, such employees were allowed to contribute to the
     Supplemental Plan provided that the aggregate contributions to the Savings
     Plan and Supplemental Plan did not exceed 10% of their compensation.  As
     part of the corporate restructuring plan (see note 10), effective January
     1, 1997, the Company suspended the Supplemental Plan.  The Company matched
     100% of the employee's contributions through the date of suspension of the
     Supplemental Plan.  Employees vest ratably in the Company's matching
     contributions over 5 years from the date of participation in the
     Supplemental Plan.

     Contributions to the various employee benefit plans for the years ended
     December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $0.6 million, $2.3 million and $2.1
     million, respectively.

(12) PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
     Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," during
     1995.  Upon adoption of SFAS No. 121 in 1995, a non-cash charge of $21.0
     million was recorded by the Company.  During 1997 and 1996, the Company
     recorded non-cash charges for the impairment of its long-lived assets of
     $31.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively.  These non-cash charges
     relate to the difference between the historical book value of the
     individual theatres (in some cases groups of theatres) and the discounted
     cash flow expected to be received from the operation or future sale of the
     individual theatres (or groups of theatres).

(13) GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     During April 1997, the Company sold its 50% interest in Hong Kong theatre
     company to its partner for approximately $17.5 million and, during
     September 1997, the Company sold its theatre investments in Mexico and the
     majority of its theatre assets in Argentina for approximately $25.0
     million.  During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company sold various
     other non-strategic or underperforming theatres for net cash proceeds of
     approximately $17.0 million.  Additionally, the Company has entered into an
     agreement to sell a portion of its theatre investments in Singapore and
     Thailand for approximately $8.1 million.

(14) INCOME TAXES

     The Company and each of its 80% or more owned subsidiaries are included
     in OSCAR I's consolidated Federal income tax return.  Pursuant to a tax
     sharing agreement with OSCAR I, the Company and each of its 80% or more
     owned consolidated subsidiaries are allocated a portion of OSCAR I's
     current Federal income tax expense (benefit). Such allocations are
     determined as if the Company and each of its 80% or more owned consolidated
     subsidiaries were separate tax paying entities within the consolidated
     group.  For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company
     and each of its 80% or more owned consolidated subsidiaries were allocated
     no current Federal income tax expense (benefit) pursuant to such tax
     sharing agreement as a result of the group's overall net loss position.

(14) INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
     approximately $200.0 million. The income tax returns of OSCAR I are
     currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The outcome of
     this audit may reduce the amount of OSCAR I's net operating loss
     carryforward and/or change the basis (and thus future depreciation) related
     to certain assets. Management believes that the result of the audit will
     not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
     operations of the Company.

(15) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     As discussed in note 9, in conjunction with the Acquisition, at
     December 31, 1997 the Company issued $12.5 million of Standby Letters of
     Credit related to certain indebtedness of Prop I.  Should Prop I default on
     such indebtedness, the Company may be liable for up to $12.5 million under
     the Standby Letters of Credit.

     The Company conducts a significant portion of its theatre and corporate
     operations in leased premises. These leases have noncancelable terms
     expiring at various dates after December 31, 1997.  Many leases have
     renewal options.  Most of the leases provide for contingent rentals based
     on the revenue results of the underlying theatre and require the payment of
     taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the property.  Also,
     certain leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions that have been
     accounted for on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the leases.

     Rent expense for theatre and corporate operations is summarized as
     follows (amounts in millions):

     Included in the future minimum lease payments table above are lease
     payments relating to theatres which the Company intends to sell or close.
     To the extent the Company is successful in disposing of these theatres, the
     future minimum lease payments will be decreased.

     It is expected that in the normal course of business, desirable leases
     that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had entered into theatre construction
     and equipment commitments aggregating approximately $100 million for ten
     new theatres and screen additions or renovations to 12 existing theatres
     which the Company intends to open during the next two years. Such amount
     relates only to projects in which the Company had executed a definitive
     lease agreement and all significant lease contingencies have been
     satisfied.  Of the committed amount, approximately $15.0 million will be
     reimbursed to the Company from proceeds of the sale and leaseback
     transactions currently held in escrow (see note 2).  The lease agreements
     have terms of between 15 and 20 years and, upon the opening of the
     theatres, require future minimum lease payments over the terms of the
     leases averaging $13.8 million per annum.

     The Company is involved in various pending and threatened legal proceedings
     involving allegations concerning contract breaches, torts, employment
     matters, environmental issues, anti-trust violations, local tax disputes
     and miscellaneous other matters. In addition, there are various claims
     against the Company relating to certain of the leases held by the Company.
     Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings,
     the Company believes that such legal proceedings will not have a material
     adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of
     operations.

     The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), and certain
     state statutes among other things, require that places of public
     accommodation, including theatres (both existing and newly constructed) be
     accessible to and that assistive listening devices be available for use by
     certain patrons with disabilities.  With respect to access to theatres, the
     ADA may require that certain modifications be made to existing theatres to
     make such theatres accessible to certain theatre patrons and employees who
     are disabled.  The ADA requires that theatres be constructed in such a
     manner that persons with disabilities have full use of the theatre and its
     facilities and reasonable access to work stations.  The ADA provides for a
     private right of action and reimbursement of plaintiff's attorneys' fees
     and expenses under certain circumstances.  The Company has established a
     program to review and evaluate the Company's theatres and to make any
     changes that may be required by the ADA.  In 1995, the Company settled the
     lawsuit styled Connie Arnold et al. vs. UATC, filed in 1991.  This lawsuit
     involved allegations that certain of the Company's theatres lacked
     accessibility to persons with mobility disabilities in violation of the
     ADA.  In the settlement agreement, the Company, the plaintiffs and  the
     Department  of  Justice  established  standards  of  modifications  that
     must  be  made  to  the

     financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

TO OSCAR I CORPORATION:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OSCAR I
Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
(deficit) and cash flow for the years then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OSCAR I Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their
operations and their cash flow for the years then ended  in conformity with

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
OSCAR I CORPORATION:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flow of OSCAR I Corporation and subsidiaries (the

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

(1) ORGANIZATION

    OSCAR I Corporation ("OSCAR I"), a Delaware corporation, was formed in
    February 1992 for the purpose of purchasing United Artists Theatre Circuit,
    Inc. ("UATC") from an affiliate of Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"). OSCAR
    I is owned by an investment fund managed by affiliates of Merrill Lynch
    Capital Partners, Inc. ("MLCP") and certain institutional investors
    (collectively, the "Non-Management Investors"), and certain members of
    UATC's management. On May 12, 1992, OSCAR I purchased all of the outstanding
    common stock of UATC from an affiliate of TCI (the "Acquisition").

    Simultaneously with the Acquisition, the Non-Management Investors
    formed OSCAR II Corporation, ("OSCAR II"), a Delaware corporation, and
    acquired from an affiliate of TCI all of the outstanding capital stock of
    United Artists Realty Company ("UAR") and its subsidiaries, United Artists
    Properties I Corp. ("Prop I") and United Artists Properties II Corp. ("Prop
    II").  UAR, Prop I and Prop II were the owners and lessors of certain
    operating theatre properties leased to and operated by UATC and its
    subsidiaries. On February 28, 1995, OSCAR II was merged into OSCAR I
    effected by a one-for-one share exchange.

(2) SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

    On December 13, 1995, OSCAR I entered into a sale and leaseback transaction
    (the "1995 Sale and Leaseback") whereby the buildings and land underlying 27
    of its operating theatres and four theatres currently under development were
    sold to, and leased back from, the 1995-A United Artists Pass Through Trust
    (the "Pass Through Trust"), an unaffiliated third party, for approximately
    $97.6 million. A portion of the sale proceeds were used to pay certain
    transaction expenses, repay certain existing indebtedness and the remainder
    was held in short-term cash investments. The proceeds related to three of
    the theatres under development (approximately $14.2 million) were initially
    deposited into an escrow account and were funded during 1996 after
    construction of the theatres was completed. The proceeds related to one of
    the new theatres and a four screen addition to an existing theatre under
    development (approximately $7.8 million) were deposited into the same escrow
    account and were paid to the Company in 1997 when construction of the new
    theatre and the screen addition was completed.

    The net book value of the land and buildings included in the 1995 Sale and
    Leaseback was approximately $85.5 million, and OSCAR I realized a net gain
    of approximately $12.1 million as a result of the Sale and Leaseback. For
    financial statement purposes, this gain has been deferred and will be
    recognized over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. The
    1995 Sale and Leaseback requires UATC to lease the underlying theatres for a
    period of 21 years and one month, with the option to extend for up to an
    additional 10 years. An agreement with the Pass Through Trust requires the
    maintenance of certain financial covenants by UATC.

    On November 8, 1996, OSCAR I entered into a sale and leaseback transaction
    whereby the buildings and land underlying three of its operating theatres
    and two theatres currently under development were sold to, and leased back
    from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately $21.5 million. The sales
    proceeds relating to the three operating theatres (approximately $9.2
    million) were used to pay certain transaction expenses and repay outstanding
    bank debt of UATC. The sales proceeds related to the two theatres under
    development (approximately $12.3 million) were deposited into an escrow
    account and are to be paid under the terms of the sale and leaseback to fund
    certain of the construction costs associated with the two theatres. During
    1997, OSCAR I opened one of the theatres under development and received
    approximately $10.8 million of proceeds from the escrow account. The lease
    has a term of 20 years and nine months with options to extend for an
    additional 10 years.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

(2)  SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED

     On December 31, 1997, OSCAR I entered into a sale and leaseback
     transaction whereby two theatres currently under development were sold to,
     and leased back from, an unaffiliated third party for approximately $18.1
     million.  At December 31, 1997, approximately $13.5 million of the sales
     proceeds were deposited into an escrow account and are to be paid under the
     terms of the sale and leaseback to fund certain of the construction costs
     associated with the two theatres.  The lease has a term of 22 years with
     options to extend for an additional 10 years.

(3)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a)  Principles of Consolidation
          ---------------------------

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
          OSCAR I and its majority owned subsidiaries.  All significant
          intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
          consolidation.

     (b)  Nature of Operations
          --------------------
          OSCAR I, through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the
          operation and ownership of motion picture theatres.

     (c)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
          -------------------------
          OSCAR I considers investments with initial maturities of three
          months or less to be cash equivalents.

     (d)  Investments
          -----------

          Investments in which OSCAR I's ownership is 20% to 50% are
          accounted for using the equity method.  Under this method, the
          investment, originally recorded at cost,  is adjusted to recognize
          dividends received and OSCAR I's share of net earnings or losses of
          the investee as they occur.  Investments in which OSCAR I's ownership
          is less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method.  Under this
          method, the investments are recorded at cost and any dividends
          received are recorded as income.

     (e)  Property and Equipment
          ----------------------

          Property and equipment are stated at cost, including acquisition
          costs allocated to tangible assets acquired.  Construction costs,
          including applicable direct overhead, are capitalized. Repairs and
          maintenance are charged to operations.

          Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
          estimated useful lives of the assets that range from 3 to 40 years.
          Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the leases,
          including certain renewal periods or, in the case of certain
          improvements, the estimated useful lives of the assets, if shorter.
          Costs associated with new theatre construction are depreciated once
          such theatres are placed in service.

     (f)  Intangible Assets
          -----------------

          Intangible assets consist of theatre lease acquisition costs and
          non-compete agreements. Amortization of theatre lease acquisition
          costs and non-compete agreements is calculated on a straight-line
          basis over the terms of the underlying leases including certain
          renewal periods (weighted average life of approximately 17 years) and
          non-compete agreements (primarily 5 years).  During 1997,
          approximately $100 million of non-compete agreements relating to the
          Acquisition were fully amortized.  Intangible assets and related
          accumulated amortization are summarized as follows (amounts in
          millions):

</TABLE>
     (g)  Other Assets
          ------------

          Other assets primarily consist of deferred loan and acquisition
          costs.  Amortization of the deferred loan costs is calculated on a
          straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying loan agreements
          (average life of approximately seven years) and is included as a
          component of interest expense.  Amortization of the deferred
          acquisition costs is calculated on a straight line basis over five
          years. During 1997, approximately $18.4 million of deferred
          acquisition costs relating to the Acquisition and approximately $7.2
          million of other assets were fully amortized.  Other assets and
          related accumulated amortization are summarized as follows (amounts in
          millions):

     (h)  Operating Costs and Expenses
          ----------------------------

          Film rental and advertising expenses include film rental and co-op
          and directory advertising costs. Film advertising costs are expensed
          as incurred.  Direct concession costs include direct concession
          product costs and concession promotional expenses.  Concession
          promotional expenses are expensed as incurred.  Other operating
          expenses include joint facility costs such as employee costs, theatre
          rental and utilities that are common to both ticket sales and
          concession operations. As such, other operating expenses are reported
          as a combined amount as the allocation of such costs to exhibition and
          concession activities would be arbitrary and not meaningful.  Rental
          expense for operating leases which provide for escalating minimum
          annual rentals during the term of the lease are accounted for on a
          straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying leases.

     (i)  Estimates
          ---------

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
          estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
          and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
          reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (j)  Reclassification
          ----------------
          Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for
          comparability with the 1997 presentation.

</TABLE>
     (a)  UATC's bank credit facility (the "Bank Credit Facility") currently
          provides for term loans aggregating $203.5 million (the "Term Loans),
          a reducing revolving loan with commitments aggregating $78.8 million
          (the "Revolving Facility") and standby letters of credit aggregating
          $12.5 million (the "Standby Letters of Credit").  Principal on the
          Term Loans is payable in escalating semi-annual installments through
          March 31, 2002.  The aggregate commitments available for borrowing
          under the Revolving Facility decline $8.75 million at December 31,
          1998, $13.125 million at December 31, 1999 and 2000 and $21.875
          million at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002.  Borrowings under the
          Bank Credit Facility provide for interest to be accrued at varying
          rates depending on the ratio of indebtedness to annualized operating
          cash flow, as defined. Interest is payable at varying dates depending
          on the type of rate selected by UATC, but no less frequently than once
          each quarter. The Bank Credit Facility contains certain provisions
          that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and place
          limitations on additional indebtedness, disposition of assets, capital
          expenditures and payment of dividends. The Bank Credit Facility is
          secured by the stock of UATC and substantially all of UATC's
          subsidiaries and is guaranteed by OSCAR I and substantially all of
          UATC's subsidiaries.  During 1997, UATC repaid $10.8 million on the
          Term Loans in conjunction with certain asset dispositions. This
          repayment will be applied pro rata against the remaining semi-annual
          Term Loan principal installments.

(5)  DEBT, CONTINUED

     (b)  The senior secured notes (the "Senior Secured Notes") are due May
          1, 2002 and require repayments prior to maturity of $31.25 million
          on May 1, 2000 and on May 1, 2001.  The Senior Secured Notes
          accrue interest at 11 1/2% per annum, which is payable semi-
          annually.  The Senior Secured Notes place limitations on, among
          other things, additional indebtedness, disposition of assets and
          payment of dividends.  The Senior Secured Notes are secured on a
          pari-passu basis with the Bank Credit Facility by the stock of
          ----------
          UATC and substantially all of UATC's subsidiaries, and are
          guaranteed on a pari-passu basis with the Bank Credit Facility by
                          ----------
          OSCAR I and substantially all of UATC's subsidiaries.  The Senior
          Secured Notes are redeemable at the option of UATC.  The
          redemption price of the Senior Secured Notes at December 31, 1997
          was 104.313% of the outstanding principal balance.

     (c)  UATC's other debt at December 31, 1997 consists of various term
          loans, mortgage notes, capital leases and other borrowings.  This
          other debt carries interest rates ranging from 7% to 12%.  Principal
          and interest are payable at various dates through June 2007.

     (d)  In conjunction with the acquisitions of certain theatres prior to
          the Acquisition, UAR issued non-interest bearing promissory notes to
          the sellers.  Principal on the promissory notes is due quarterly
          through October 1999.  For financial statement purposes, the
          promissory notes were discounted at UAR's effective borrowing rate on
          the date the promissory notes were executed. The undiscounted amount
          payable under the promissory notes at December 31, 1997 was
          approximately $6.2 million.

     (e)  The Prop I first mortgage notes (the "Prop I Notes") bear interest
          at 11.15% per annum. Principal and interest are payable in monthly
          installments, with a lump sum payment of principal and accrued, but
          unpaid, interest due on November 1, 1998.  The Prop I Notes are
          secured by a first mortgage on Prop I's theatre properties, an
          assignment of the lease agreement with UATC, and $12.5 million of bank
          Standby Letters of Credit provided by UATC. The Indenture of Mortgage,
          among its other provisions, contains limitations on the sale and/or
          substitution of properties and a limitation on any additional debt
          incurred by Prop I other than intercompany advances.

     At December 31, 1997, UATC was party to interest rate cap agreements on
     $100.0 million  of  floating rate debt which provide for a LIBOR interest
     rate cap of 7 1/2% and expire at various dates through July 1999.  UATC is
     subject to credit risk exposure from non-performance of the counterparties
     to the interest rate cap agreements.  As UATC  has historically received
     payments relating to such interest rate cap agreements, it does not
     anticipate such non-performance in the future. UATC amortizes the cost of
     its interest rate cap agreements to interest expense over the life of the
     underlying agreement.  Amounts received from the counterparties to the
     interest rate cap agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest
     expense.

     At December 31, 1997, UATC had approximately $55.8 million of unused
     revolving loan commitments pursuant to the Bank Credit Facility, $11.1
     million of which has been used for the issuance of letters of credit.
     Commitment fees of 3/8% per annum are paid on the average unused revolver
     commitments.

     thereafter are as follows (amounts in millions):

     UATC Bank Credit Facility and Other Debt:  The carrying amount of
     UATC's borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility and other debt
     approximates fair value because the interest rates on the majority of this
     debt floats with market interest rates.

     UATC Senior Secured Notes:  The fair value of the Senior Secured Notes
     is estimated based upon quoted market prices at December 31, 1997.

     UAR Promissory Notes:  The fair value of the UAR Promissory Notes is
     estimated based upon dealer quotes for similar agreements at December 31,
     1997.

     Prop I Mortgage Notes:  The fair value of the Prop I Mortgage Notes is
     estimated based upon dealer quotes for similar agreements at December 31,
     1997.

     Interest Rate Cap Agreements:  The fair value of the interest rate cap
     agreements is estimated based upon dealer quotes for similar agreements at
     December 31, 1997.

(7)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Preferred Stock
     ---------------

     The OSCAR I preferred stock is redeemable any time at the option of OSCAR I
     at its stated liquidation value plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
     Dividends accrue at a rate of 8% through December 31, 1995, 9% through
     December 31, 1996 and 14% thereafter, and are payable in cash or in kind
     through December 31, 1996. Dividends subsequent to December 31, 1996 are
     required to be paid in cash unless any senior debt facility of OSCAR I or
     UATC restricts such cash payment. Currently, such restrictions exist. The
     preferred stock contains certain restrictions on, among other things, the
     incurrence of additional indebtedness by OSCAR I or its subsidiaries. Due
     to the perpetual nature of the preferred stock and the escalating terms of
     the required dividend rates, for financial reporting purposes dividends
     have been accrued at a 14% per annum rate for all periods since issuance.
     At December 31, 1997, the actual redemption value in accordance with the
     terms of the preferred stock was approximately $152.1 million, or
     approximately $41.8 million less than the carrying amount at December 31,
     1997.

     OSCAR I is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

     Common Stock
     ------------

     At December 31, 1997, OSCAR I had outstanding 11,551,383 shares of Class A
     common stock, $0.01 par value per share, 48,425 shares of Class B common
     stock, $0.01 par value per share and has granted 15,462 shares of Class C
     common stock, $0.01 par value to certain members of management. The Class A
     and Class B shares are identical except that the Class B shares do not have
     any voting rights. The Class C shares vest over a four-year period and are
     identical to the Class B common stock except for a $9.50 per share
     liquidation preference in favor of the holders of the Class A and Class B
     common stock. As of December 31, 1997, 13,001 shares of the Class C common
     stock had vested.

     OSCAR I is authorized to issue 23,200,000 shares of Class A common stock,
     1,818,000 shares of Class B common stock and 57,000 shares of Class C
     common stock.

     Stock Options
     -------------

     In connection with the Acquisition, the OSCAR I Management Stock Plan was
     established. The OSCAR I Management Stock Plan established three types of
     options, those being: the Incentive Options (the "Incentive Plan"),
     Performance Options (the "Performance Plan"), and Premium Options (the
     "Premium Plan" and collectively, the "Option Plans"). The options covered
     under the Incentive Plan vest in equal amounts each year through the fifth
     anniversary of the date of grant, while options covered under the
     Performance and Premium Plans vest based on certain calculations of UATC's
     value or the investment returns received by the Class A common
     stockholders. Each option granted under either the Incentive or Performance
     Plans may be exercised for one Class B share at an exercise price equal to
     the estimated market value of the Class B share at the date of grant
     provided that such options have been vested under the terms of the
     respective plan. Each option granted under the Premium Plan may be
     exercised for one Class B share at an exercise price, which increases from
     $30 to $233, provided that such options have vested under the terms of the
     Premium Plan. All options granted expire 10 years after the date of grant.

     OSCAR I applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
     No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
     Interpretations in accounting for its Option Plans.  No compensation cost
     has been recognized by OSCAR I for any of the Option Plans.  OSCAR I's
     compensation expense would not have been materially different had OSCAR I
     recorded compensation expense for its Option Plans in accordance with SFAS
     No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," and accordingly, the
     pro forma net loss disclosure as if SFAS No. 123 had been applied are not
     presented.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

(7)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED

     As of December 31, 1997, the 56,431 Premium Plan options had an
     exercise price of $66.00 and a weighted average remaining contractual life
     of 5.0 years.

(8)  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

     At the end of 1996, OSCAR I initiated a corporate restructuring plan
     intended to provide a higher level of focus on OSCAR I's domestic
     theatrical business at a lower annual cost.  This corporate restructuring
     was substantially completed in January 1997.  In conjunction with this
     corporate restructuring plan, OSCAR I recorded $0.8 million and $1.9
     million restructuring charges in 1997 and 1996, respectively, for severance
     and other related expenses.

(9)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The UATC 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") provides that
     employees may contribute up to 10% of their compensation, subject to IRS
     limitations, to the Savings Plan.  Employee contributions are invested in
     various investment funds based upon elections made by the employee.  Prior
     to January 1, 1997, OSCAR I matched 100% of each employee's contributions
     up to 10% of an employee's compensation.  As part of the corporate
     restructuring plan (see note 8), effective January 1, 1997, the Savings
     Plan was amended to provide for an OSCAR I match of 100% of each employee's
     contribution up to 3% of their compensation. Employees vest in OSCAR I's
     matching contributions 20% per year for every year of service, as defined.

     Effective January 1, 1993, OSCAR I established the UATC Supplemental
     401(k) Savings Plan (the "Supplemental Plan") for certain employees who are
     highly compensated as defined by the IRS and whose elective contributions
     to the Savings Plan exceed the IRS limitations.  Through December 31, 1996,
     such employees were allowed to contribute to the Supplemental Plan provided
     that the aggregate contributions to the Savings Plan and Supplemental Plan
     did not exceed 10% of their compensation. As part of the corporate
     restructuring plan (see note 8), effective January 1, 1997, OSCAR I
     suspended the Supplemental Plan.  OSCAR I matched 100% of the employee's
     contributions through the date of suspension of the Supplemental Plan.
     Employees vest ratably in OSCAR I's matching contributions over 5 years
     from the date of participation in the Supplemental Plan.

     Contributions to the various employee benefit plans for the years ended
     December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, were $0.6 million, $2.3 million and $2.1
     million, respectively.

(10) PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT

     OSCAR I adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
     Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," during 1995.
     Upon adoption of SFAS No. 121 in 1995, a non-cash charge of $21.0 million
     was recorded by OSCAR I.  During 1997 and 1996, OSCAR I recorded non-cash
     charges for the impairment of its long-lived assets of $36.0 million and
     $9.5 million, respectively. These non-cash charges relate to the difference
     between the historical book value of the individual theatres (in some cases
     groups of theatres) and the discounted cash flow expected to be received
     from the operation or future sale of the individual theatres (or groups of
     theatres).

(11) GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     During April 1997, OSCAR I sold its 50% interest in Hong Kong theatre
     company to its partner for approximately $17.5 million and, during
     September 1997, OSCAR I sold its theatre investments in Mexico and the
     majority of its theatre assets in Argentina for approximately $25.0
     million.  During the year ended December 31, 1997, OSCAR I sold various
     other non-strategic or underperforming theatres for net cash proceeds of
     approximately $27.5 million.  Additionally, OSCAR I has entered into an
     agreement to sell a portion of its theatre investments in Singapore and
     Thailand for approximately $8.1 million.

(12) INCOME TAXES

     Consolidated subsidiaries in which OSCAR I owns less than 80% file
     separate Federal income tax returns.  The current and deferred Federal and
     state income taxes of such subsidiaries are calculated on a separate return
     basis and are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements of OSCAR I.

     The current state income tax expense of OSCAR I and Federal income tax
     expense of OSCAR I's less than 80%-owned consolidated subsidiaries and
     deferred state and Federal income tax expense are as follows (amounts in

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED


(12) INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

     At December 31, 1997, OSCAR I had a net operating loss carryforward of
     approximately $200 million. The income tax returns of OSCAR I are currently
     being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The outcome of this audit
     may reduce the amount of OSCAR I's net operating loss carryforward and/or
     change the basis (and thus future depreciation) related to certain assets.
     Management believes that the result of the audit will not have a material
     adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of OSCAR
     I.

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     OSCAR I conducts a significant portion of its theatre and corporate
     operations in leased premises.  These leases have noncancelable terms
     expiring at various dates after December 31, 1997.  Many leases have
     renewal options.  Most of the leases provide for contingent rentals based
     on the revenue results of the underlying theatre and require the payment of
     taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the property.  Also,
     certain leases contain escalating minimum rental provisions that have been
     accounted for on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the leases.

     Rent expense for theatre and corporate operations is summarized as
     follows (amounts in millions):

     Approximately $12.8 million, $11.0 million and $0.5 million of the
     minimum rentals reflected in the preceding table for the years ended
     December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were incurred pursuant to
     the sale and leaseback transactions (see note 2).

     Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases for
     each of the next five years and thereafter are summarized as follows

     Included in the future minimum lease payments table above are lease
     payments relating to theatres which OSCAR I intends to sell or close.  To
     the extent OSCAR I is successful in disposing of these theatres, the future
     minimum lease payments will be decreased.

     It is expected that in the normal course of business, desirable leases
     that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED

     At December 31, 1997, OSCAR I had entered into theatre construction and
     equipment commitments aggregating approximately $100 million for ten new
     theatres and screen additions or renovations to 12 existing theatres which
     OSCAR I intends to open during the next two years. Such amount relates only
     to projects in which OSCAR I had executed a definitive lease agreement and
     all significant lease contingencies have been satisfied.  Of the committed
     amount, approximately $15.0 million will be reimbursed to OSCAR I from
     proceeds of the sale and leaseback transactions currently held in escrow
     (see note 2).  The lease agreements have terms of between 15 and 20 years
     and, upon the opening of the theatres, require future minimum lease
     payments over the terms of the leases averaging $13.8 million per annum.

     OSCAR I and/or its subsidiaries are involved in various pending and
     threatened legal proceedings involving allegations concerning contract
     breaches, torts, employment matters, environmental issues, anti-trust
     violations, local tax disputes and miscellaneous other matters. In
     addition, there are various claims against OSCAR I and/or its subsidiaries
     relating to certain of the leases held by OSCAR I and/or its subsidiaries.
     Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings,
     OSCAR I believes that such legal proceedings will not have a material
     adverse effect on OSCAR I's financial position, liquidity or results of
     operations.

     The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), and certain
     state statutes among other things, require that places of public
     accommodation, including theatres (both existing and newly constructed) be
     accessible to and that assistive listening devices be available for use by
     certain patrons with disabilities.  With respect to access to theatres, the
     ADA may require that certain modifications be made to existing theatres to
     make such theatres accessible to certain theatre patrons and employees who
     are disabled.  The ADA requires that theatres be constructed in such a
     manner that persons with disabilities have full use of the theatre and its
     facilities and reasonable access to work stations.  The ADA provides for a
     private right of action and reimbursement of plaintiff's attorneys' fees
     and expenses under certain circumstances.  OSCAR I has established a
     program to review and evaluate OSCAR I's theatres and to make any changes
     which may be required by the ADA.  In 1995, OSCAR I settled the lawsuit
     styled Connie Arnold et al. vs. UATC, filed in 1991.  This lawsuit involved
     allegations that certain of OSCAR I's theatres lacked accessibility to
     persons with mobility disabilities in violation of the ADA.  In the
     settlement agreement, OSCAR I, the plaintiffs and the Department of Justice
     established standards of modifications that must be made to OSCAR I
     theatres throughout the United States to make them more accessible to
     persons with disabilities.  OSCAR I believes that the cost of complying
     with the ADA and the settlement agreement in the Connie Arnold case will
     not have a material adverse effect on the OSCAR I's financial position,
     liquidity or results of operations.

(d)      Long-Term Incentive Awards
         --------------------------

No long-term incentive awards were granted to executive officers of the Company
during 1997.

(e)      Compensation of Directors
         -------------------------

Mr. Boyle received 10,000 performance options ($12.00 strike price) and $20,000
for his services as a director during 1997. No other directors of the Company
and OSCAR I received any compensation for their services as directors or
committee members.

(f)      Employee Benefits Plan
         ----------------------

The Company established the United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. 401(k) Savings
Plan (the "Savings Plan") which allows electing employees to contribute up to
10.0% of their compensation, subject to certain IRS limitations.  Prior to
January 1, 1997, the Company matched 100.0% of the electing employee's
contributions up to 10.0% of an employee's compensation.  As part of the
corporate restructuring plan, effective January 1, 1997, the Savings Plan was
amended to provide for a Company match of 100.0% of each employee's contribution
up to 3.0% of their compensation.  Employees vest in the Company's matching
contributions 20.0% per year for every year of service, as defined.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company established the United Artists Theatre
Circuit, Inc. Supplemental 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Supplemental Plan") for
certain employees who are highly compensated as defined by the IRS and whose
elective contributions to the Savings Plan exceed the IRS limitations.  Through
December 31, 1996, such employees were allowed to contribute to the Supplemental
Plan, provided that the aggregate contributions to the Savings Plan and
Supplemental Plan did not exceed 10.0% of their compensation.  As part of the
corporate restructuring plan, effective January 1, 1997, the Company suspended
the Supplemental Plan.  The Company matched 100.0% of the employee's
contributions through the date of suspension of the Supplemental Plan.
Employees vest ratably in the matching contributions over five years from the
date of participation in the Supplemental Plan.

Matching contributions to the Savings Plan and the Supplemental Plan for the
president and chief executive officer and the four other highest paid executives
have been included in the summary compensation table.

During 1997, the Company's board established a bonus plan for all non-
commissioned corporate employees that is based upon the Company achieving its
operating budgets and other financial and operating goals and the employee
achieving certain specified goals.

(g)      Employment Agreements
         ---------------------

The Company entered into employment agreements (each an "Employment Agreement"
and collectively, the "Employment Agreements") with each of Kurt C. Hall, Edward
C. Cooper, Dennis R. Daniels, Gene Hardy, Robert A. McCormick, Michael L. Pade,
Jim Ruybal and Bruce M. Taffet.  The Employment Agreements with Messrs. Daniels,
Hardy, Ruybal and Taffet expire on May 12, 1998.  The Employment Agreements with
Messrs. Cooper and McCormick expire on February 20, 1999.  The Employment
Agreement with Mr. Hall expires on February 21, 1999.  The Employment Agreement
with Mr. Pade expires on September 30, 2000.

Under the Employment Agreements, the employee receives a base salary (as defined
in the Employment Agreements) and certain customary benefits, including health
and disability insurance, participation in employee benefit plans and certain
perquisites.  Each Employment Agreement provides that the employee will be
eligible to receive annual bonuses during the term of employment, as determined
by the Board of Directors.

In the event that Mr. Hall or Mr. Pade is terminated without cause, such
individual will be entitled to his base salary for two years and annual bonuses
for two years, in an amount based upon the average of the annual bonuses awarded
to him over the preceding two fiscal years.

In the event that Mr. McCormick or Mr. Cooper is terminated without cause, such
individual will be entitled to his base salary for the remainder of the term of
his employment agreement following his termination but not less than 12 months
and annual bonuses for the remainder of the term of his employment agreement but
not less than 12 months, in an amount based upon the average bonuses paid to him
over the preceding two fiscal years.

                                       65
<PAGE>

In the event that Mr. Daniels, Mr. Ruybal, Mr. Hardy or Mr. Taffet is terminated
without cause, such individual will be entitled to his base salary for the
lesser of two years or the remainder of the term of his employment agreement
following termination, but not less than 12 months and annual bonuses for the
lesser of two years or the remainder of the term of his employment agreement
following termination, but not less than 12 months, in an amount based upon the
average bonuses paid to him over the preceding two fiscal years.

prior to their expiration dates. The terms of the Employment Agreements, as
amended or extended, may be different from those currently in place.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
-------------------------------------------------------

The Company leases four theatres from UAR and 32 theatres from Prop I.  The
common stock of UAR is owned 100% by OSCAR I.

The lease agreements between the Company and UAR and Prop I provide for annual
base rentals of approximately $2.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as
well as taxes, insurance, maintenance and other related charges.  In addition,
the leases provide for additional rentals based upon a percentage of the leased
theatres' revenue.  The leases between the Company and UAR and Prop I expire on
October 4, 2003 and October 31, 2003, respectively, and provide for options to
extend the leases at the Company's option for up to ten years.

Pursuant to an indenture and mortgage notes entered into by Prop I on October 1,
1988, the 32 theatres leased by the Company from Prop I are mortgaged for the
benefit of the respective holders of the Prop I mortgage notes.  In conjunction
with the issuance of the Prop I mortgage notes, UAE issued a $12.0 million
residual value guaranty.  In conjunction with the Acquisition, standby letters
of credit of $12.5 million were issued as part of the Company's Bank Credit
Facility in order to release UAE from certain of its obligations under the
guarantees.

In order to fund the cost of additions and/or renovations to the theatres leased
by the Company from UAR or Prop I, the Company has periodically made advances to
UAR.  Interest on the advances accrues at the prime rate and amounted to $1.4
million, $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

During 1997, the Company exchanged two fee-owned theatre properties with Prop I
in return for a fee-owned theatre property and a $2.7 million note.  During
1996, the Company exchanged a fee-owned theatre with Prop I in return for two
fee-owned theatre properties and a $1.5 million note.  The note bears interest
at the prime rate plus 1 1/2% and is due upon demand.

Pursuant to a management agreement entered into between the Company and UAR on
May 12, 1992, the Company charges UAR a management fee.  This management fee
represents the cost of managing and accounting for UAR's properties.  For each
of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, such management fees were
approximately $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Entities affiliated with MLCP own approximately 89.3% of the OSCAR I Shares.
Through a management agreement with MLCP, Stonington Partners, Inc. manages the
portfolio of companies owned by MLCP, including OSCAR I.
