IMAX CORPORATION
PART I
Item 1. Business
GENERAL
IMAX Corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company), is one of the
worlds leading entertainment technology companies, specializing in digital and film-based motion
picture technologies and large-format two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) film
presentations. The Companys principal business is the design, manufacture, sale and lease of
theater systems based on proprietary and patented technology for large-format, 15-perforation film
frame, 70mm format (15/70-format) theaters, including commercial theaters, museums and science
centers, and destination entertainment sites. The majority of these theaters are operated by third
parties. The Company generally does not own IMAX theaters, but licenses the use of its trademarks
along with the sale or lease of its equipment. The Company refers to all theaters using the IMAX
theater system as IMAX Theaters.
The Company is also engaged in the production, digital re-mastering, post-production and
distribution of 15/70-format films, the operation of IMAX theaters and the provision of services in
support of IMAX theaters and the IMAX theater network.
The Company believes the IMAX theater network is the most extensive large-format theater
network in the world with 284 theaters operating in 40 countries as of December 31, 2006. Of these
284 theaters, 166 are located in commercial locations, such as multiplex complexes, and 118 of them
are currently located in institutional locations, such as museums and science centers. While the
Companys roots are in the institutional market, the Company believes that the commercial market is
potentially significantly larger. To increase the demand for IMAX theater systems, the Company has
positioned the IMAX theater network as a new distribution platform for Hollywood blockbuster films.
To this end, the Company has developed a technology that allows conventional 35mm movies to be
digitally converted to its 15/70-format, has introduced lower cost theater systems designed for
multiplex owners, is continuing to build strong relationships with Hollywood studios and commercial
exhibition companies and is developing a new digital projector which it believes will result in
even more Hollywood features being released to the IMAX network.
IMAX theater systems combine advanced, high-resolution projectors with film handling equipment
and automated theater control systems, sound system components and screen components as large as
eight stories high (approximately 80 feet) that extend to the edge of a viewers peripheral vision
to create immersive audio-visual experiences. As a result, audiences feel as if they are a part of
the on-screen action in a way that is more intense and exciting than in traditional theaters. In
addition, the Companys IMAX 3D theater systems combine the same theater systems with 3D images
that further increase the audiences feeling of immersion in the film.
In 2002, the Company introduced a technology that can digitally convert live-action 35mm films
to its 15/70-format at a modest incremental cost, while meeting the Companys high standards of
image and sound quality. The Company believes that this proprietary system, known as IMAX DMR
(Digital Re-Mastering), has positioned IMAX theaters as a new release window or distribution
platform for Hollywoods biggest event films. As of December 31, 2006, the Company, along with its
studio partners, had released 18 IMAX DMR films since 2002. In 2006, the Company released seven
films converted through the IMAX DMR process contemporaneous with the releases of the films to
conventional 35mm theaters, and released one film co-produced by the Company exclusively for IMAX
theaters.
In 2003, the Company introduced IMAX MPX, a new theater system designed specifically for use
by commercial multiplex operators. The IMAX MPX system, which is highly automated, was designed to
reduce the capital and operating costs required to run an IMAX theater while still offering
consumers the image and sound quality of the trademarked experience viewers derive from IMAX
theaters known as The IMAX Experience. During 2006, the Company signed agreements for 22 IMAX MPX
theater systems with North American and international commercial theater exhibitors. Four of the 22
signed IMAX MPX theater system agreements were conditional and such rights to the conditions have
now lapsed.
The Company is in the process of developing a digitally-based IMAX projector which would
operate without the need for analog film prints. The Company anticipates that its digital
projector, which will be targeted to a large portion of its commercial multiplex operators as a
replacement for the IMAX MPX projector, will be available for production and sale by early 2009.

Item 1. Business (contd)
GENERAL (contd)
The Companys goal is to create a digital product that provides a differentiated experience to
moviegoers that is consistent with what they have come to expect from the IMAX brand. The Company
believes that transitioning from a film-based platform to a digital platform for a large portion of
its customer base is compelling for a number of reasons. The savings to the studios as a result of
eliminating film prints are considerable, as the typical cost of an IMAX film print ranges from
$22.5 thousand per 2D print to $45 thousand per 3D print. Removing those costs will significantly
increase the profit of an IMAX release for a studio which, the Company believes, provides more
incentive for studios to release their films to IMAX theaters. The Company similarly believes that
economics change favorably for its exhibition clients as a result of a digital transition, since
lower print costs and the increased programming flexibility that digital delivery provides should
allow theaters to program three to four additional IMAX DMR films per year, thereby increasing both
customer choice and total box-office revenue. Finally, digital transmission allows for the
opportunity to show attractive alternate programming, such as live events like the Super Bowl or
World Cup, in the immersive environment of an IMAX theater.
The Company was formed in March 1994 as a result of an amalgamation between WGIM Acquisition
Corp. and the former IMAX Corporation (Predecessor IMAX). Predecessor IMAX was incorporated in
1967.
PRODUCT LINES
The Company is the pioneer and leader in the large-format film industry, and believes it is
the largest designer and manufacturer of specialty projection and sound system components, and a
significant producer and distributor of 15/70-format films, for large-format theaters around the
world. The Companys theater systems include a specialized IMAX projector, advanced sound systems
and specialty screens. The Company derives its revenues from IMAX theater systems (the sale and
lease of, and provision of services related to, its theater systems to large-format theaters,
including joint revenue sharing arrangements), films (production and digital re-mastering of films,
the distribution of film products to the IMAX theater network, post-production services for
large-format films), theater operations (owning, operating, managing or participating in the
profits of IMAX theaters) and other activities, which include the sale of after market parts and
camera rentals. Segmented information is provided in note 22 to the accompanying audited
consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8.
IMAX Theater Systems
The Companys primary products are its large-format theater systems. IMAX theater systems
traditionally include a unique rolling loop 15/70-format projector that offers superior image
quality and stability and a digital theater control system; a 6-channel, digital sound system
delivering up to 12,000 watts; a screen with a proprietary coating technology; and, if applicable,
3D glasses cleaning equipment. As part of the arrangement to sell or lease its theater systems, the
Company provides extensive advice on theater planning and design and supervision of installation
services. Theater systems are also leased or sold with a license for the use of the world famous
IMAX brand. The Company primarily offers its theater systems in four configurations: the GT
projection system for the largest IMAX theaters; the SR system for smaller theaters; the Companys
newest introduction, the IMAX MPX system, which is targeted for multiplex complexes; and a fourth
category of theater systems featuring heavily curved and tilted screens that are used in dome
shaped theaters. The GT, SR and IMAX MPX systems are flat screens that have a minimum of
curvature and tilt and can exhibit both 2D and 3D films, while the screen components in dome shaped
theaters are generally 2D only and are popular with the Companys institutional clients. The
Company is also currently developing a digital projector.
Screens in IMAX theaters are as large as one hundred or more feet wide and eight stories tall
and the Company believes they are the largest cinema screens in the world. Unlike standard cinema
screens, IMAX screens extend to the edge of a viewers peripheral vision to create immersive
experiences which, when combined with the Companys superior sound system components, make
audiences feel as if they are a part of the on-screen action in a way that is more intense and
exciting than in traditional theaters, a critical part of The IMAX Experience. The Companys IMAX
3D theaters further increase the audiences feeling of immersion in the film by bringing images off
the screen. All IMAX theaters, with the exception of dome configurations, have a steeply inclined
floor to provide each audience member with a clear view of the screen. IMAX holds patents on the
geometrical design of an IMAX theater.
The Companys projectors utilize the largest commercially available film format
(15-perforation film frame, 70mm), which is nearly 10 times larger than conventional film
(4-perforation film frame, 35mm) and therefore able to project significantly more detail on a
larger screen. The Company believes its projectors, which utilize the Companys rolling loop
technology, are unsurpassed in their ability to project film with maximum steadiness and clarity
with minimal film wear while substantially enhancing the quality of the projected image. As a
result, the Companys projectors deliver a higher level of clarity, detail and brightness compared
to conventional movies and competing film or digitally-based projectors.

Item 1. Business (contd)
PRODUCT LINES (contd)
IMAX Theater Systems (contd)
To complement the film technology and viewing experience, IMAX provides unique digital sound
system components. The sound system components are among the most advanced in the industry and help
to heighten the sense of realism of a 15/70-format film. IMAX sound system components are
specifically designed for IMAX theaters and are an important competitive advantage. The Company
believes it is a world leader in the design and manufacture of digital sound system components for
applications including traditional movie theaters, auditoriums and IMAX theaters.
Theater System Sales or Leases. The Companys arrangements for theater system equipment
involve either a lease or sale. As part of the arrangement for an IMAX theater system, the Company
also advises the customer on theater design, supervises the installation of the theater systems and
provides projectionists with training in using the equipment. Theater owners or operators are
responsible for providing the theater location, the design and construction of the theater
building, the installation of the system components and any other necessary improvements, as well
as the marketing and programming at the theater. The supervision of installation requires that the
equipment also be put through a complete functional start-up and test procedure to ensure proper
operation. The Companys typical arrangement also includes the trademark license rights which
commence on execution of the agreement and generally have terms of 10 to 20 years that may be
renewed. The theater system equipment components (including the projector, sound system, and screen
system and if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine), theater design support, supervision of
installation, projectionist training and trademark rights are all elements of what the Company
considers the system deliverable (the System Deliverable). For a separate fee, the Company
provides ongoing maintenance and extended warranty services for the theater system.
Leases generally have 10 to 20-year initial terms and are typically renewable by the customer
for one or more additional 10-year term. Under the terms of the typical lease agreement, the title
to the theater system equipment (including the projector, the sound system and the projection
screen) remains with the Company. The Company has the right to remove the equipment for non-payment
or other defaults by the customer. The contracts are generally not cancelable by the customer
unless the Company fails to perform its obligations. The Company also enters into sale agreements
with its customers. Under a sales arrangement, the title to the theater system remains with the
customer, however in certain instances, the Company retains title or a security interest in the
equipment until the customer has made all payments required under the agreement. Recently the
Company has entered into a number of joint revenue sharing arrangements, where the Company receives
a portion of a theaters box-office and concession revenue in exchange for placing a theater system
at the theater operators venue. Under these arrangements, the Company receives no up-front fee and
the Company retains title to the theater system. The Company has stated that it will increasingly
look to enter into such arrangements in the future, although the specific customer and location
will be important considerations in whether to do so. The Company believes that its joint revenue
sharing arrangements represent an effective way for it to deploy capital, add incremental theater
growth and realize the benefits of network economics more quickly. The Company believes that by its
contributing the theater system, with the exhibitor responsible for the theater retrofit costs, it
significantly lowers the capital cost for exhibitors to deploy an IMAX theater, which, in turn,
expands the IMAX network more rapidly and provides the Company with an increasingly significant
portion of the IMAX box office from its licensed theaters, as well as a continuing portion of the
IMAX DMR film revenue from the film studio. The Companys contracts are generally denominated in
U.S. dollars, except in Canada, Japan and parts of Europe, where contracts are sometimes
denominated in local currency.
The typical lease or sales arrangement provides for three major sources of cash flows for the
Company: (i) initial fees; (ii) ongoing minimum fixed and contingent fees and (iii) ongoing
maintenance and extended warranty fees. Initial fees generally are received over the period of time
from the date the arrangement is executed to the date the equipment is installed and customer
acceptance has been received. However, in certain cases the payments of the initial fee may be
scheduled over a period after the equipment is installed and customer acceptance has been received.
Ongoing minimum fixed and contingent fees and ongoing maintenance and extended warranty fees are
generally received over the life of the arrangement and are usually adjusted annually based on
changes in the local consumer price index. The ongoing minimum fixed and contingent fees generally
provide for a fee which is the greater of a fixed amount or a certain percentage of the theater
box-office. The terms of each arrangement vary according to the configuration of the theater system
provided and the geographic location of the customer.
Sales Backlog. Signed contracts for theater systems are listed as sales backlog prior to the
time of revenue recognition. The value of sales backlog represents the total value of all signed
theater system sales and sales-type lease agreements that are expected to be recognized as revenue
in the future. Sales backlog includes initial fees along with the present value of contractual
fixed minimum fees due over the term, but excludes contingent fees in excess of contractual
minimums and maintenance and extended warranty fees that might be received in the future. Sales
backlog does not include any anticipated revenues from theaters in which the Company has an
equity-interest, joint profit or revenue sharing arrangements, agreements covered by letters of
intent or conditional sale or lease commitments.

IMAX and IMAX Dome Systems. IMAX and IMAX Dome systems make up approximately 39% of the
Companys opened theater base. IMAX theaters, with a flat screen, were introduced in 1970, while
IMAX Dome theaters, which are designed for tilted dome screens, were introduced in 1973. There have
been several significant proprietary and patented enhancements to these systems since their
introduction.
IMAX 3D GT and IMAX 3D SR Systems. IMAX 3D theaters utilize a flat screen 3D system, which
produces realistic three-dimensional images on an IMAX screen. The Company believes that the IMAX
3D theater systems offer consumers one of the most realistic 3D experiences available today. To
create the 3D effect, the audience uses either polarized or electronic glasses that separate the
left-eye and right-eye images. The IMAX 3D projectors can project both 2D and 3D films, allowing
theater owners the flexibility to exhibit either type of film. The Company will provide upgrades to
existing theaters which have 2D IMAX theater systems, to IMAX 3D theater systems. Since the
introduction of IMAX 3D technology, the Company has upgraded 18 theaters.
In 1997, the Company launched a smaller IMAX 3D system called IMAX 3D SR, a patented theater
system configuration that combines a proprietary theater design, a more automated projector and
specialized sound system components to replicate the experience of a larger IMAX 3D theater in a
smaller space.

IMAX Theater Systems (contd)
IMAX MPX. In 2003, the Company launched its new large-format theater system designed
specifically for use in multiplex theaters. Known as IMAX MPX, this system projects 15/70-format
film onto screens which are curved and tilted forward to further immerse the audience. An IMAX MPX
theater system utilizes the Companys next generation proprietary digital sound system components,
capable of multi-channel uncompressed studio quality digital audio. The projector is capable of
playing both 2D and 3D films, and installs into a standard 35mm projection booth. The IMAX MPX
system can be installed as part of a newly-constructed multiplex, as an add-on to an existing
multiplex or as a retrofit of one or two existing stadium seat auditoriums within a multiplex. With
lower capital and operating costs, the IMAX MPX is designed to improve a multiplex owners
financial returns and allow for the installation of IMAX theater systems in markets that might
previously not have been able to support one. The Company has signed 84 agreements for IMAX MPX
theater systems since its introduction, nine of which were installed in 2006. Five of the 84 signed
agreements were for conditional deals where the conditions have since lapsed.
IMAX Digital. The Company is in the process of developing a digitally-based IMAX projector
designed to deliver 2D and 3D presentations with the high image quality and immersiveness that are
consistent with the IMAX brand, without the need for analog prints. The Company holds numerous
digital patents and relationships with key manufacturers and suppliers in digital technology. The
Company has patents, applications and licenses encompassing, among other things, a method for
synchronizing digital data, a method of generating stereoscopic (3D) imaging data from a 2D source,
a process for digitally re-mastering 35mm films into 15/70-format, a method for increasing the
dynamic range and contrast of projectors, a method for invisibly seaming or superimposing images
from multiple projectors and other inventions relating to digital projectors. The Company
anticipates that its digital projector, which will be targeted to a large portion of its commercial
theater base, will be available for production and sale by early 2009. The Companys goal is to
create a digital product that provides a differentiated experience to moviegoers that is consistent
with what they have come to expect from the IMAX brand. The Company believes that transitioning
from a film-based platform to a digital platform for a large portion of its customer base is
compelling for a number of reasons. The savings to the studios as a result of eliminating film
prints are considerable, as the typical cost of an IMAX film print ranges from $22.5 thousand per
2D print to $45 thousand per 3D print. Removing those costs will significantly increase the profit
of an IMAX release for a studio which, the Company believes, provides more incentive for studios to
release their films to IMAX theaters. The Company similarly believes that economics change
favorably for its exhibition clients as a result of a digital transition, since lower print costs
and the increased programming flexibility that digital delivery provides should allow theaters to
program three to four additional IMAX DMR films per year, thereby increasing both customer choice
and total box-office revenue. Finally, digital transmission allows for the opportunity to show
attractive alternate programming, such as live events like the Super Bowl or World Cup, in the
immersive environment of an IMAX theater.
Films
Film Production and Digital Re-mastering (IMAX DMR)
Films produced by the Company are typically financed through third parties, whereby the
Company will generally receive a film production fee in exchange for producing the film and will be
a distributor of the film. The ownership rights to such films may be held by the film sponsors, the
film investors and/or the Company. In the past, the Company often internally financed film
production, but has moved to a model utilizing third-party funding for the large-format films it
produces and distributes.
In 2002, the Company developed technology that makes it possible for 35mm live-action film to
be digitally transformed into IMAXs 15/70-format at a cost of roughly $1.0 $2.0 million per
film. This proprietary system, known as IMAX DMR, has opened the IMAX theater network up to film
releases from Hollywoods broad library of films. In a typical IMAX DMR film arrangement, the
Company will absorb its costs for the IMAX DMR re-mastering and then recoup this cost from a
percentage of the gross box-office receipts of the film, which will generally range from 10-15%.
The Company may also have certain distribution rights to the 15/70-format films produced using its
IMAX DMR technology.

Film Production and Digital Re-Mastering (IMAX DMR) (contd)
The IMAX DMR process involves the following:
|
|
|
scanning, at the highest resolution possible, each individual frame of the 35mm film
and converting it into a digital image; |
|
|
|
|
optimizing the image using proprietary image enhancement tools; |
|
|
|
|
analyzing the information contained within a 35mm frame format and enhancing the
digital image using techniques such as sharpening, color correction, grain removal and
the elimination of unsteadiness and removal of unwanted artifacts; and |
|
|
|
|
recording the enhanced digital image onto 15/70-format film. |
The first IMAX DMR film, Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience, produced in conjunction with
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment, was released in September 2002. Since the release of
that film, the Company has released an additional 17 IMAX DMR films.
The highly automated IMAX DMR system typically allows the re-mastering process to meet
aggressive film production schedules. The Company is continuing to improve the length of time it
takes to reformat a film with its IMAX DMR technology. Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience, released in
2002, was re-mastered in 16 weeks, while 300: The IMAX Experience, released in March 2007, was
re-mastered in approximately ten days. The IMAX DMR conversion of simultaneous, or day-and-date,
releases are done in parallel with the movies filming and editing, which is necessary for the
simultaneous release of an IMAX DMR film with the domestic release to conventional theaters.
The Company demonstrated its ability to convert computer generated animation to IMAX 3D with
the 1999 release of Cyberworld, the 2004 release of the full length CGI feature, The Polar Express:
The IMAX 3D Experience and the release of three CGI 3D features in 2005-2006. In addition, the
Company has developed a proprietary technology to convert live action 2D 35mm movies to IMAX 3D
films, which the Company believes can offer significant potential benefits to the Company, studios
and the IMAX theater network, and which was used to convert scenes from 2D to 3D in the film
Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience in 2006, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An
IMAX 3D Experience, released in July 2007.
For IMAX DMR releases, the original soundtrack of the 35mm film is also re-mastered for IMAXs
five or six-channel digital sound system components. Unlike conventional theater sound systems,
IMAX sound system components are uncompressed, full fidelity and use proprietary loudspeaker
systems and surround sound that ensure every theater seat is in a good listening position.
In 2006, the Company released seven films converted through the IMAX DMR process
contemporaneously with the releases of the films to conventional 35mm theaters, and released one
film, Deep Sea 3D, co-produced by the Company and made exclusively for IMAX theaters.
On March 3, 2006, IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures (WB) released Deep Sea 3D. This was shortly
followed by the release on March 17, 2006 of V for Vendetta: The IMAX Experience by the Company and
WB. On May 12, 2006, the Company and WB released Poseidon: The IMAX Experience. On June 28, 2006,
the Company and WB released Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience, an IMAX DMR version of one of
the years top grossing Hollywood films, to the IMAX theater network. On July 28, 2006, the Company
and WB released The Ant Bully: An IMAX 3D Experience. On September 29, 2006, the Company and Sony
Pictures released Open Season: An IMAX 3D Experience. On November 17, 2006, the Company and WB
released Happy Feet: The IMAX Experience. On December 22, 2006, the Company and Twentieth Century
Fox released the IMAX DMR version of the hit film Night at the Museum to IMAX theaters.
The Company believes that these releases have positioned IMAX theaters as a separate
distribution platform for Hollywood films, similar to the type created when Hollywood studios began
including the pay TV and home video media as release windows for their films.

Film Production and Digital Re-Mastering (IMAX DMR) (contd)
In 2007, the Company has thus far released three IMAX DMR films to IMAX theaters
contemporaneously with the releases of the films to conventional 35mm theaters. In March 2007, the
Company and WB released 300: The IMAX Experience. In May 2007, the Company and Sonys Columbia
Pictures released Spider-Man 3: The IMAX Experience. In July 2007, the Company, in conjunction with
WB, released Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An IMAX 3D Experience. This will be WBs
fifth film release based on the popular Harry Potter book series. In November 2007, the Company in
conjunction with Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and WB will release Beowulf: An IMAX
3D Experience. The Company has announced that it will release an IMAX DMR version of The Dark
Knight: The IMAX Experience, the next installment of WBs highly-popular Batman franchise, in July
2008, and that, in conjunction with WB, it has commenced production on a third original IMAX 3D
co-production for the release to IMAX theaters in 2009 of a sequel to Deep Sea 3D.
Film Distribution
The Company is a significant distributor of 15/70-format films. The Company generally
distributes films which it has produced or for which it has acquired distribution rights from
independent producers. As a distributor, the Company receives a fixed fee and/or a percentage of
the theater box-office receipts.
The library of 15/70-format films includes Hollywood event films converted into 15/70-format
through IMAX DMR technology, such as the 2006 (and 2007) hit Night at the Museum: The IMAX
Experience, and the 2004 (and 2005) hit The Polar Express: The IMAX 3D Experience, along with
general entertainment and educational films on subjects such as space, wildlife, music, history and
natural wonders. The library consisted of 254 films at the end of 2006, of which the Company had
distribution rights to 52 such films. 15/70-format films that have been successfully released by
the Company include Deep Sea 3D, which was released by the Company and WB in March 2006 and has
grossed more than $29.5 million to the end of 2006, SPACE STATION, which was released in April 2002
and has grossed over $93.2 million to the end of 2006, T-REX: Back to the Cretaceous, which was
released by the Company in 1998 and has grossed over $95.0 million to the end of 2006 and Fantasia
2000: The IMAX Experience, which was released by the Company and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution,
a unit of The Walt Disney Company, in 2000, and has grossed over $80.4 million to the end of 2006.
15/70-format films have significantly longer exhibition periods than conventional 35mm films and
many of the films in the large-format library have remained popular for many decades including the
films To Fly! (1976), Grand Canyon The Hidden Secrets (1984) and The Dream Is Alive (1985).
Film Post-Production
David Keighley Productions 70MM Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides film
post-production and quality control services for 15/70-format films (whether produced internally or
externally), and digital post-production services.
Theater Operations
The Company has seven owned and operated theaters. In addition, the Company has entered into
commercial arrangements with two theaters resulting in the sharing of profits and losses. The
Company also provides management services to two theaters.
Other
Cameras
The Company rents 2D and 3D 15/70-format analog cameras and provides technical and
post-production services to third-party producers for a fee. The Company has developed
state-of-the-art patented dual and single filmstrip 3D cameras which are among the most advanced
motion picture cameras in the world and are the only 3D cameras of their kind. The IMAX 3D camera
simultaneously shoots left-eye and right-eye images and its compact size allows filmmakers access
to a variety of locations, such as underwater or aboard aircraft. The Company maintains cameras and
other film equipment to support third-party producers and also offers production advice and
technical assistance to filmmakers.

For information on revenue breakdown by geographic area, see note 22 to the accompanying
audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8. No one customer represents more than 5% of the
Companys opened base of theaters. The Company has no dependence upon a single customer, the loss
of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION
The Company competes with a number of manufacturers of large-format film projectors. Most of
these competitors utilize smaller film formats, including 8-perforation film frame 70mm and
10-perforation film frame 70mm formats, which the Company believes deliver an image that is
inferior to The IMAX Experience. The IMAX theater network and the number of 15/70-format films to
which the Company has distribution rights are substantially larger than those of its 15/70-format
competitors, and IMAX DMR reformatted films are available exclusively to the IMAX theater network.
The Companys customers generally consider a number of criteria when selecting a large-format
theater including quality, reputation, brand-name recognition, configuration of system components,
features, price and service. The Company believes that its competitive strengths include the value
of the IMAX brand name, the quality and historic up-time of IMAX theater systems, the return on
investment of an IMAX theater, the number and quality of 15/70-format films that it distributes,
the quality of the sound system components included with the IMAX theater, the availability of
Hollywood event films to IMAX theaters through IMAX DMR technology and the level of the Companys
service and maintenance and extended warranty efforts. Virtually all of the best performing
large-format theaters in the world are IMAX theaters.
In 2003, the Company introduced the IMAX MPX, a new theater system designed specifically for
use in multiplex auditoriums. The IMAX MPX system is designed to reduce the capital and operating
costs required to run an IMAX theater while still offering consumers the image and sound quality of
The IMAX Experience.
The motion picture industry is in the early stages of transitioning from film projection to
digital projection, and the Company itself is developing a digitally-based projector. In recent
years, a number of companies have introduced digital 3D projection technology and a small number of
Hollywood features have been exhibited in 3D using these technologies. The Company believes that
its many competitive strengths, including the IMAX® brand name, the quality and immersiveness of
The IMAX Experience, its IMAX DMR technology and its patented theater geometry, significantly
differentiate the Companys 3D presentations from any other 3D presentations.
Page 12

Item 1. Business (contd)
THE IMAX BRAND
The IMAX brand is world famous and stands for immersive family entertainment that combines
stunning images of exceptional quality and clarity on screens up to one hundred feet wide and eight
stories tall with the Companys proprietary 6-channel digital sound system components and unique
theater designs. The Companys research shows that the IMAX brand is a significant factor in a
consumers decision to go to an IMAX theater, and that movie-goers are willing to travel
significantly farther and pay more to see films in IMAXs immersive format. In addition, the
Company believes that its significant brand loyalty among consumers provides it with a strong,
sustainable position in the exhibition industry. The IMAX brand name cuts across geographic and
demographic boundaries.
Historically, the Companys brand identity was grounded in its educational film presentations
to families around the world. With an increasing number of IMAX theaters based in multiplexes and
with a recent history of commercially successful large-format films such as The Polar Express: The
IMAX 3D Experience, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience, Batman Begins: The
IMAX Experience, Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience, Happy Feet: The IMAX Experience and Night
at the Museum: The IMAX Experience, the Company is rapidly increasing its presence in commercial
settings. The Company believes the strength of the IMAX brand will be an asset as it continues to
establish IMAX theaters as a new and desirable release window for Hollywood films.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company believes that it is one of the worlds leading entertainment technology companies
with significant in-house proprietary expertise in digital and film based projection and sound
system component design, engineering and imaging technology, particularly in 3D. The Company
believes that the motion picture industry will be affected by the development of digital
technologies, particularly in the areas of content creation (image capture), post-production
(editing and special effects), digital re-mastering (such as IMAX DMR), distribution and display.
The Company has made significant investments in digital technologies, including the development of
a proprietary, patent-pending technology to digitally enhance image resolution and quality of 35mm
motion picture films, the conversion of monoscopic (2D) to stereoscopic (3D) images and the
creation of an IMAX digital projector prototype, and holds a number of patents, patents pending and
other intellectual property rights in these areas. In addition, the Company holds numerous digital
patents and relationships with key manufacturers and suppliers in digital technology. The Company
is in the process of developing a digitally-based projector which would operate without the need
for analog film prints. The Company anticipates that its digital projector, which will be targeted
to a large portion of its commercial theater customer base, will be available for production and
sale by early 2009.
The IMAX DMR technology converts a conventional 35mm frame into its digital form at a very
high resolution. The proprietary system recreates a pristine form of the original photography. The
Company believes the proprietary process makes the images sharper than the original and the
completed re-mastered film, now nearly 10 times larger than the original, is transferred onto the
Companys 15/70 film format. Each films original soundtrack is also recreated and upgraded to
Company standards. Through its research and development program, the Company continues to refine
and enhance the capabilities of this technology.
A key to the performance and reliability of the IMAX projector is the Companys unique
rolling loop film movement. The rolling loop advances the film horizontally in a smooth,
wave-like motion, which enhances the stability of the image and greatly reduces wear of the film.
Several of the underlying technologies and resulting products and system components of the
Company are covered by patents or patent applications. Other underlying technologies are available
to competitors, in part because of the expiration of certain patents owned by the Company. The
Company, however, has successfully obtained patent protection covering several of its significant
improvements made to such technologies. The Company plans to continue to fund research and
development activity in areas considered important to the Companys continued commercial success.
For 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded research and development expenses of $3.6
million, $3.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2006, 35 of the Companys employees were connected with research and
development projects.

directors who could, at a future date, be parties to such actions, continue to adversely affect the
Companys cash position and profitability.
The informal inquiries may adversely affect the Companys ability to obtain, and/or increase
the cost of obtaining, directors and officers liability insurance, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. It may
also adversely affect the course of the pending litigation against the Company. The Company is
currently defending a consolidated class-action lawsuit in the U.S. and a class-action lawsuit in
Ontario (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings). Negative developments or outcomes in the informal
inquiries could have an adverse effect on the Companys defense of lawsuits. Finally, the SEC
and/or OSC could impose sanctions and/or fines on the Company in connection with the aforementioned
inquiries. The indenture dated as of December 4, 2003, and as thereafter amended and supplemented,
(the Indenture) governing the Companys 9.625% Senior Notes due 2010 (the Senior Notes)
contains a covenant requiring the timely filing of its financial statements with regulatory
agencies. Additional changes to the Companys accounting policies and/or additional restatements
could result in the failure of the Company to meet these deadlines and cause the holders of its
Senior Notes to accelerate payment. In addition, these informal investigations could divert
attention of the Companys management and other personnel for significant periods of time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS RECENT RESTATEMENTS AND RELATED MATTERS (contd)
Resolution of the Companys unresolved SEC and OSC staff comments and informal SEC and OSC
enforcement division inquiries may result in additional changes in accounting.
In 2006 and 2007, the staff of the SEC and OSC sent comment letters to the Company raising
questions as to the Companys revenue recognition policies and other areas, including the Companys
recognition of theater system components at different points in time. The comments also raised
questions regarding the Companys accounting for settlement income, receivable provisions and
certain transactions with Digital Projection International. In addition, the Company was asked to
enhance its disclosures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in the area of revenue
recognition policies. As noted in notes 2(n) and 4 to the accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements in Item 8, the Company revised its revenue recognition policy for theater
systems and recently restated its financial statements for the current and prior periods to reflect
the correction of errors related to revenue recognition, real estate leases and other errors. The
Company is continuing to discuss these issues with the SEC and OSC. It is possible that such
discussions could result in a further restatement of the Companys financial statements and
amendments to this report or prior Annual Reports and Quarterly Reports, filed on Form 10-K and
Form 10-Q, respectively.
The Company is subject to lawsuits that could divert its resources and result in the payment of
significant damages and other remedies.
The Companys industry is characterized by frequent claims and related litigation regarding
breach of contract and related issues. The Company is subject to a number of legal proceedings and
claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In addition, the Company is engaged as a
defendant in several class action lawsuits filed by certain shareholders of the Company and one
action filed by a bondholder of the Company. Since March 2007, this
bondholder has repeatedly and unsuccessfully attempted to trigger a
default or acceleration under the indenture governing the
Companys Senior Notes. The Company cannot assure that it will succeed in
defending any claims, that judgments will not be entered against it with respect to any litigation
or that reserves the Company may set aside will be adequate to cover any such judgments. If any of
these actions or proceedings against the Company is successful, it may be subject to significant
damages awards. In addition, the Company is the plaintiff in a number of lawsuits in which it seeks
the recovery of substantial payments. The Company is incurring significant legal fees in
prosecuting and defending its lawsuits, and it may not ultimately prevail in such lawsuits or be
able to collect on such judgments if it does.
Although the Companys directors and officers liability insurance is deemed to provide
coverage for the class-action lawsuits the Company is defending (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings),
the damages in such lawsuits could be significant. Additionally, the defense of these claims (as
with the defense or prosecution of all of the Companys litigation) could divert the attention of
the Companys management and other personnel for significant periods of time.
The Company has been the subject of anti-trust complaints and investigations in the past and
may be sued or investigated on similar grounds in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS RECENT RESTATEMENTS AND RELATED MATTERS (contd)
The Company has identified a number of material weaknesses related to its internal controls over
financial reporting. These material weaknesses could continue to impact the Companys ability to
report its financial results accurately and in a timely manner.
The Company has identified a number of material weaknesses in the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. In addition, management assessed the effectiveness of its internal
control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2006 and concluded that its internal control
over financial reporting was not effective.
The following material weaknesses were identified and included in the Companys assessment:
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over
the analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in
accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP); |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
the accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate
recording of postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the review of the accounting
implications relating to real estate lease transactions involving its owned and operated
theaters and corporate facilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the
provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between
operational departments and the Finance department related to revenue recognition for
sales and lease transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between
departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Companys
financial reporting. |
After considering these weaknesses, the Companys Co-Chief Executive Officers (Co-CEOs) and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) also concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed in the reports the Company submits is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
appropriately.
The Company is in the process of implementing remedial measures and compensating procedures to
address these material weaknesses. These material weaknesses, if left unaddressed, could result in
accounting errors such as those underlying its recent restatements, which could adversely impact
the accuracy and timing of future reports and filings the Company makes with the SEC and OSC. In
addition, the Company expects that implementation of remedial measures and full remediation of its
material weaknesses, internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and
procedures will take time given a need to implement one comprehensive remediation plan with a well
defined set of objectives and agreed upon timelines. The Company expects that its management will
continue to devote significant time to the remedial measures necessary to improve its process and
procedures, which could be time consuming and may disrupt the Companys business.
Continued negative publicity has affected and may continue to adversely affect the Companys
business and the market price of its publicly traded common shares.
The Company has been the subject of continuing negative publicity in part as a result of the
ongoing informal SEC and OSC inquiries and its prior delay in filing financial statements and
restatements of current and prior results. This delay additionally caused Company management to be
subject to a cease trade order imposed by Canadian provincial securities regulators. The negative
publicity the Company has received has contributed to declines in the prices of its publicly traded
common shares. In addition, this negative publicity has and may continue to have an effect on the
terms under which some customers and suppliers are willing to continue to do business with the
Company and could adversely affect its financial performance or financial condition. Continuing
negative publicity could continue to have an adverse effect on the business and the market price of
the Companys publicly traded securities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OR CONDITION
The Company is highly leveraged, and this impairs its ability to obtain financing and limits cash
flow available for its operations.
The Company is highly leveraged. As at December 31, 2006, its total long-term indebtedness was
$160.0 million. At December 31, 2006, the Companys shareholders deficit was $58.2 million. The
Companys high leverage has important possible consequences. It may:
|
|
|
make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its financial obligations; |
|
|
|
|
limit its ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures (such as joint revenue sharing arrangements), acquisitions or general
corporate purposes; |
|
|
|
|
require the Company to dedicate all or a substantial portion of its cash flow from
operations to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness, resulting in
less cash available for its operations and other purposes; |
|
|
|
|
impede the Companys research and development initiatives, including its development
of a digitally-based projector; |
|
|
|
|
limit its ability to rapidly adjust to changing market conditions; and |
|
|
|
|
increase its vulnerability to downturns in its business or in general economic
conditions. |
The Companys ability to satisfy its obligations and to reduce its total debt depends on its
future operating performance. The Companys future operating performance is subject to many
factors, including economic, financial and competitive factors, which may be beyond its control. As
a result, it may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow, and future financings may not be
available to provide sufficient net proceeds, to meet these obligations or to execute its business
strategy successfully.
The Company may still be able to incur more indebtedness, which could further exacerbate the risks
associated with its existing indebtedness.
The Company may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although
the agreements governing the indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional
indebtedness, debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If
additional indebtedness is added to its current indebtedness levels, the related risks that the
Company faces would be magnified.
The Company may not generate cash flow sufficient to service all of its obligations.
The Companys ability to make payments on and to refinance its indebtedness and to fund its
operations, working capital and capital expenditures, depends on its ability to generate cash in
the future. The Companys cash flow is subject to general economic, industry, financial,
competitive, technological, operating, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond its
control. The Companys business may not generate cash flow in an amount sufficient to enable it to
repay its indebtedness or to fund its other liquidity needs.
Page 18
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OR CONDITION (contd)
The agreements governing the Companys indebtedness contain significant restrictions that limit its
operating and financial flexibility.
The indenture governing the Companys indebtedness including the agreement governing its
credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, limit its ability to:
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
pay dividends and make distributions; |
|
|
|
|
repurchase stock; |
|
|
|
|
make certain investments; |
|
|
|
|
transfer or sell assets; |
|
|
|
|
create liens; |
|
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; |
|
|
|
|
issue or sell stock of subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries; and |
|
|
|
|
merge, consolidate, amalgamate or sell all or substantially all of its assets to
another person. |
In addition, the Companys agreement governing its credit facility contains a covenant
requiring the Company to maintain a certain level of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization and other defined adjustments over the prior twelve months for two
consecutive quarters. All of these covenants and restrictions may limit the Companys ability to
execute its business strategy. Moreover, if operating results fall below historical levels, the
Company may be unable to comply with these covenants. If that occurs, the Companys credit facility
lender could demand re-payment of any outstanding indebtedness. In addition, under the terms of the
Credit Facility, the Company has to comply with several reporting requirements including the
delivery of audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of the end of the fiscal
year.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for
certain periods during the fiscal years 2002 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender
waived the requirement for the company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within
120 days of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents were
delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that an
event of default would not be deemed to have occurred unless the Companys 10-K filing did not
occur by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the
Companys Indenture governing its Senior Notes which had not been cured within the applicable grace
period.
The Companys agreements governing its senior note indebtedness contain a covenant requiring
the timely filing of its quarterly and annual results with regulatory agencies. Failure to meet
these deadlines could result in holders of the Senior Notes demanding payment. The filing delay of
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulted in the
Company being in default of a financial reporting covenant under the Indenture governing the
Companys Senior Notes due 2010.
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from
holders of approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Consenting
Holders) to execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture
with the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture
waived any defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the
Indentures reporting covenant requiring that annual and quarterly financial statements are filed
with the trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines, and extended until
May 31, 2007, or at the Companys election until June 30, 2007 (the Covenant Reversion Date), the
date by which the Companys failure to comply with the reporting covenant shall constitute a
default, or be the basis for an event of default under the Indenture. The Company paid consent fees
of $1.0 million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the Company provided notice to the
holders of the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant Reversion Date to June 30, 2007.
The Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the Consenting Holders. Because the
Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by June 30, 2007, it was in
default of the reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007, and received notice of such
default on July 2, 2007. The Company cured such default under the Indenture, which provides for a
30-day cure period for defaults under the reporting covenant, by filing its Original 2006 Form10-K
and the first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q on July 20, 2007.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OR CONDITION (contd)
Certain bankruptcy and insolvency laws may impair a creditors ability to enforce remedies in an
insolvency.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of Canada, and substantially all of its assets are
located in Canada. Under bankruptcy laws in the United States, courts typically have jurisdiction
over a debtors property, wherever located, including property situated in other countries. There
can be no assurance, however, that courts outside the United States would recognize the U.S.
bankruptcy courts jurisdiction. Accordingly, difficulties may arise in administering a U.S.
bankruptcy case involving a Canadian company like the Company with property located outside the
United States, and any orders or judgments of a bankruptcy court in the United States may not be
enforceable in Canada against the Company.
The rights of a creditor to enforce remedies may be significantly impaired by the
restructuring provisions of applicable Canadian federal bankruptcy, insolvency and other
restructuring legislation if the benefit of such legislation is sought with respect to the Company.
For example, both the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and the Companies Creditors
Arrangement Act (Canada) contain provisions enabling an insolvent person to obtain a stay of
proceeding as against its creditors and others and to prepare and file a proposal for consideration
by all or some of its creditors to be voted on by the various classes of its creditors. Moreover,
this legislation permits, in certain circumstances, an insolvent debtor to retain possession and
administration of its property, even though it may be in default under the applicable debt
instrument.
The Companys stock price has historically been volatile and further declines in market price may
negatively impact its ability to raise capital, issue debt, and retain employees.
The stock markets have experienced extreme price fluctuations that have affected the market
price and trading volumes of many technology companies in particular, with potential consequential
negative effects on the trading of securities of those companies. A major decline in the capital
markets generally, or an adjustment in the market price or trading volumes of the Companys
publicly traded securities, may negatively impact its ability to raise capital, issue debt, secure
customer business or retain employees. These factors, as well as general economic and geopolitical
conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Companys publicly traded
securities.
The Companys theater system revenue can vary significantly from its cash flows under theater
system sales or lease agreements.
The Companys theater systems revenue can vary significantly from the associated cash flows.
The Company generally provides financing to customers for theater systems on a long-term basis
through long-term leases or notes receivables. The terms of leases or notes receivable are
typically 10 to 20 years. The Companys agreements typically provide for three major sources of
cash flow related to theater systems:
|
|
|
initial fees, which are paid in installments generally commencing upon the signing of
the agreement until installation of the theater systems; |
|
|
|
|
ongoing fees, which are paid monthly after all theater systems have been installed and
are generally equal to the greater of a fixed minimum amount per annum and a percentage
of box-office receipts; and |
|
|
|
|
ongoing annual maintenance and extended warranty fees, which are generally payable
commencing in the second year of theater operations. |
Initial fees generally make up a majority of cash received for a theater arrangement.
For sales and sales-type leases, the revenue recorded is generally equal to the sum of initial
fees and the present value of minimum ongoing fees due under the agreement. Cash received from
initial fees in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria for the theater systems is
recorded as deferred revenue. Contingent fees are recognized as they are reported by the theaters
after annual minimum fixed fees are exceeded.
Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership to the
customer are classified as operating leases. For these leases, initial fees and minimum fixed
ongoing fees are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent
fees are recognized as they are reported by the theaters after annual minimum fixed fees are
exceeded.
Page 20
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS
There is collection risk associated with sale or lease arrangement payments to be received over the
terms of the Companys theater system agreements.
The Company is dependent in part on the viability of its customers for collections under
long-term lease or sales financing arrangements. The Company cannot assure that exhibitors or other
operators will not experience financial difficulties in the future. The Company may not collect all
of its contracted future payments under either lease or sales financing arrangements. The Companys
revenue can vary significantly from its cash flows under theater systems sale or lease agreements,
and there is collection risk associated with future payments to be received over the terms of its
arrangements.
The Company may not convert all of its backlog into revenue and cash flows.
The Company lists signed contracts for theater systems sales or sales-type leases for which
revenue has not been recognized as sales backlog prior to the time of revenue recognition. Sales
backlog represents the total value of all signed theater system sale or lease agreements that are
expected to be recognized as revenue in the future and includes initial fees along with the present
value of fixed minimum ongoing fees due over the term, but excludes contingent fees in excess of
fixed minimum ongoing fees that might be received in the future and maintenance and extended
warranty fees. Notwithstanding the legal obligation to do so, all of the Companys customers with
which it has signed contracts may not accept delivery of theater systems that are included in the
Companys backlog. This could adversely affect the Companys future revenues and cash flows. In
addition, customers with theater system obligations in backlog sometimes request that the Company
agree to modify or reduce such obligations. The Company has in the past, under certain
circumstances, restructured backlog obligations of certain customers.
The Company depends on commercial movie exhibitors to purchase or lease its IMAX theater systems
and to provide additional revenues and venues in which to exhibit its IMAX DMR films.
A number of the Companys commercial exhibition customers emerged from bankruptcy protection
in recent years. The Company is unable to predict if or when they or other exhibitors will purchase
or lease or continue to purchase or lease IMAX theater systems from the Company or whether other
commercial movie exhibitors will experience significant financial difficulties in the future. If
exhibitors choose to reduce their levels of expansion or decide not to purchase or lease IMAX
theater systems for their existing or new theaters, the Companys revenues would not increase at an
anticipated rate and motion picture studios may be less willing to reformat Hollywood 35mm films
into the Companys 15/70 film format for exhibition in commercial IMAX theaters. As a result, the
Companys future revenues and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Page 21
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS (contd)
The Companys operating results and cash flow can vary substantially from quarter to quarter and
could increase the volatility of its share price.
The Companys operating results and cash flow can fluctuate substantially from quarter to
quarter. In particular, fluctuations in theater system installations can materially affect
operating results. Factors that have affected the Companys operating results and cash flow in the
past, and are likely to affect its operating results and cash flow in the future include, among
other things:
|
|
|
the timing of signing and installation of new theater systems; |
|
|
|
|
demand for, and acceptance of, its products and services; |
|
|
|
|
revenue recognition of sales and sales-type leases; |
|
|
|
|
classification of leases as sales-type versus operating leases; |
|
|
|
|
volume of orders received and that can be fulfilled in the quarter; |
|
|
|
|
the level of its sales backlog; |
|
|
|
|
the timing and commercial success of films produced and distributed by the Company and
others; |
|
|
|
|
the signing of film distribution agreements; |
|
|
|
|
the financial performance of IMAX theaters operated by the Companys customers and by
the Company; |
|
|
|
|
the financial difficulties, including bankruptcies, faced by customers, particularly
customers in the commercial exhibition industry; |
|
|
|
|
the magnitude and timing of spending in relation to the Companys research and
development efforts; and |
|
|
|
|
the number and timing of joint revenue sharing arrangement installations, related
capital expenditures and timing of related cash receipts. |
Most of the Companys operating expenses are fixed in the short term. The Company may be
unable to rapidly adjust its spending to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfall, which would
harm quarterly operating results. The results of any quarterly period are not necessarily
indicative of its results for any other quarter or for a full fiscal year.
The Company may not be able to generate profits in the future.
The Company may not be able to generate profits in any future period. If the Company does not
generate profits in future periods, it may be unable to finance the operations of its business or
meet its debt obligations.
The success of the IMAX theater network is directly related to the availability and success of
15/70-format films, particularly IMAX DMR films.
An important factor affecting the growth and success of the IMAX theater network is the
availability of 15/70-format films. The Company produces only a small number of 15/70-format films
and, as a result, the Company relies principally on 15/70-format films produced by third party
filmmakers and studios, particularly Hollywood features converted from 35mm format using the
Companys IMAX DMR technology. There are no guarantees that these filmmakers and studios will
continue to release 15/70 or IMAX DMR films, or that the 15/70-format films they produce will be
commercially successful.
The Companys revenues from existing customers are derived in part from financial reporting
provided by its customers, which may be inaccurate or incomplete, resulting in lost or delayed
revenues.
A portion of the Companys payments under lease or sales arrangements and its film license
fees are based upon financial reporting provided by its customers. If such reporting is inaccurate,
incomplete or withheld, the Companys ability to invoice and receive the proper amount from its
customers in a timely fashion will be impaired. The Companys contractual audits of IMAX theaters
may not rectify payments lost or delayed as a result of customers not fulfilling their contractual
requirements with respect to financial reporting.
Page 22
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS (contd)
The Company conducts business internationally which exposes it to uncertainties and risks that
could negatively affect its operations and sales.
A significant portion of the Companys sales are made to customers located outside the United
States and Canada. Approximately 36%, 42% and 41% of its revenues were derived outside of the
United States and Canada in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects its
international operations to continue to account for a significant portion of its revenues in the
future and plan to expand into new markets in the future. The Company does not have significant
experience in operating in certain foreign countries and are subject to the risks associated with
operating in those countries. The Company currently has theater systems arrangements projected in
countries where economies have been unstable in recent years. The economies of other foreign
countries important to the Companys operations could also suffer slower economic growth or
instability in the future. The following are among the risks that could negatively affect the
Companys operations and sales in foreign markets:
|
|
|
new restrictions on access to markets; |
|
|
|
|
unusual or burdensome foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes to
those laws or requirements; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in the value of foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar and potential
currency devaluations; |
|
|
|
|
new tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade
embargoes and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
|
imposition of foreign exchange controls in such foreign jurisdictions; |
|
|
|
|
dependence on foreign distributors and their sales channels; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
|
|
|
|
adverse changes in monetary and/or tax policies; |
|
|
|
|
poor recognition of intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
|
inflation; |
|
|
|
|
requirements to provide performance bonds and letters of credit to international
customers to secure system component deliveries; and |
|
|
|
|
political, economic and social instability in foreign countries. |
The Company faces risks in connection with the continued expansion of its business in China and
other parts of Asia.
The first IMAX theater system in a theater in China was installed in December 2001 and 17
additional IMAX theater systems are scheduled to be installed in China by 2009. China is now the
Companys second largest market. However, the geopolitical instability of the region comprising
China, Taiwan, North Korea and South Korea could result in economic embargoes, disruptions in
shipping or even military hostilities, which could interfere with both the fulfillment of the
Companys existing contracts and its pursuit of additional contracts in China.

IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS (contd)
The introduction of new products and technologies and changes in the way the Companys competitors
operate could harm the Companys business.
The out-of-home entertainment industry is very competitive, and the Company faces a number of
challenges. The Company competes with other large-format film projector manufacturers as well as,
less directly, conventional motion picture exhibitors. In addition to existing competitors, the
Company may also face competition in the future from companies in the entertainment industry with
new technologies and/or substantially greater capital resources. The Company also faces competition
from a number of alternative motion picture distribution channels such as home video, pay-per-view,
video-on-demand, DVD, and syndicated and broadcast television. The Company also competes for the
publics leisure time and disposable income with other forms of entertainment, including sporting
events, concerts, live theater and restaurants.
Furthermore, the out-of-home entertainment industry in general is undergoing significant
changes. Primarily due to technological developments and changing consumer tastes, numerous
companies are developing, and are expected to continue to develop, new entertainment products for
the out-of-home entertainment industry, which may compete directly with the Companys products.
Competitors may design products which are more attractive to the consumer and/or more cost
effective than the Companys and may make its products less competitive. The products that the
Company is currently developing may never be attractive to consumers or be competitive. As a result
of this competition, the Company could lose market share as demand for its products declines, which
could seriously harm its business and operating results.
The motion picture exhibition industry is in the early stages of conversion from film based
media to electronic based media. The Company is similarly developing a digital projector that can
be utilized in IMAX theaters, and is expected to be available for production and sale by mid 2008.
There are no guarantees this product will be successful (see below).
There is a technology risk associated with the Companys development of a digitally-based
projector.
The Company is in the process of developing a digital projector that will ultimately supplant
and replace its film-based projector for a large portion of its commercial theater customer base.
There are numerous risks associated with this transition. The Company may fail to develop a
production-ready digital projector that meets its high standards for image quality, resulting in
the need for additional research and development to develop a production-ready projector that does.
The digital projector developed by the Company may not be attractive to consumers or be
competitive. Competitors may design digitally-based projectors which are more attractive to the
consumer, available earlier than the Companys and/or more cost effective than the Companys, and
may make the Companys film and/or digital projectors less competitive. As a result of this
competition, the Company could lose market share as demand for its products declines, which could
seriously harm its business and operating results. In addition, the need for additional research
and development and/or for capital to finance replacement of certain theater systems and associated
conversion costs could require the Company to raise additional capital, which capital may not be
available to the Company on attractive terms, or at all. In addition, as the roll-out of the
Companys digital projectors approaches, prospective customers may delay their purchase or lease of
film-based projectors, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position and results of operations. Finally, the Companys theater system arrangements are
increasingly including provisions allowing for customer to upgrade from film-based systems to
digital systems, when available. The accounting impact of such provisions may include the deferral
of some or all of the revenue (though not the cash) associated with the arrangement beyond the
point of the full installation and customer acceptance of the film-based system. Such deferral
could result in a significant increase in the Companys deferred revenue accounts and a significant
decrease in the Companys reported profits prior to the delivery of the digital upgrade. The
Company currently expects that its digital projectors will become available by mid 2008.

Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS (contd)
An economic downturn could materially affect the Companys business by reducing demand for IMAX
theater systems and revenue generated from box-office sales.
The Company depends on the sale and lease of IMAX theater systems to commercial movie
exhibitors to generate a significant portion of its revenues. Most of the Companys agreements
provide for additional revenues based on a percentage of theater box-office receipts when
attendance at an IMAX theater exceeds a minimum threshold. The Companys joint revenue sharing
arrangements provide it with a portion of the box-office from the customers IMAX theaters.
Commercial movie exhibitors generate revenues from consumer attendance at their theaters, which are
subject to general political, social and economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to
spend discretionary money at movie theaters. If there is a prolonged economic downturn, commercial
movie exhibitors could be less willing to invest capital in new theaters resulting in a decline in
demand for new IMAX theater systems. In addition, any decline in attendance at commercial IMAX
theaters will reduce the additional revenues the Company generates from a percentage of theater
box-office receipts or under its joint revenue sharing arrangements. Institutional exhibitors may
also experience a decline in attendance given general political, social and economic conditions,
which may result in reduced revenues generated from receipts attributed to IMAX theaters at such
institutions and reduced film license fees.
The Company may experience adverse effects due to exchange rate fluctuations.
A substantial portion of the Companys revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a
substantial portion of its expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company also generates
revenues in Euros and Japanese Yen. The Company may enter into forward contracts to hedge its
exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Companys strategy may not be successful in
reducing its exposure to these fluctuations. Any material increase in the value of the Canadian
dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar compared to historic levels could have a material adverse
effect on its operating results.
The Company is subject to impairment losses on its film assets.
The Company amortizes its film assets, including IMAX DMR costs capitalized, using the
individual film forecast method, whereby the costs of film assets are amortized and participation
costs are accrued for each film in the ratio of revenues earned in the current period to
managements estimate of total revenues ultimately expected to be received for that title.
Management regularly reviews, and revises when necessary, its estimates of ultimate revenues on a
title-by-title basis, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization of the film assets
and write-downs or impairments to film assets. Results of operations in future years depend upon
the amortization of the Companys film assets and may be significantly affected by periodic
adjustments in amortization rates.
If the Companys goodwill or long lived assets become impaired the Company may be required to
record a significant charge to earnings.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company reviews its long lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required
to be tested for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate an
impairment test is required. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances include (but
are not limited to) a decline in stock price and market capitalization, future cash flows, and
slower growth rates in the Companys industry. The Company may be required to record a significant
charge to earnings in its financial statements during the period in which any impairment of its
goodwill or long lived assets is determined.
Changes in accounting and changes in managements estimates may affect the Companys reported
earnings and operating income.
U.S. GAAP and accompanying accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and
interpretations for many aspects of the Companys business, such as revenue recognition, film
accounting, accounting for pensions, accounting for income taxes, and treatment of goodwill or long
lived assets, are highly complex and involve many subjective judgments. Changes in these rules,
their interpretation, managements estimates, or changes in the Companys products or business
could significantly change its reported future earnings and operating income and could add
significant volatility to those measures, without a comparable underlying change in cash flow from
operations. See Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7.

IMAX CORPORATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors (contd)
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANYS BUSINESS (contd)
The Company relies on its key personnel, and the loss of one or more of those personnel could harm
its ability to carry out its business strategy.
The Companys operations and prospects depend in large part on the performance and continued
service of its senior management team. The Company may not find qualified replacements for any of
these individuals if their services are no longer available. The loss of the services of one or
more members of the Companys senior management team could adversely affect its ability to
effectively pursue its business strategy.
The Companys ability to adequately protect its intellectual property is limited, and competitors
may misappropriate its technology, which could weaken its competitive position.
The Company depends on its proprietary knowledge regarding IMAX theater systems and film
technology. The Company relies principally upon a combination of copyright, trademark, patent and
trade secret laws, restrictions on disclosures and contractual provisions to protect its
proprietary and intellectual property rights. These laws and procedures may not be adequate to
prevent unauthorized parties from attempting to copy or otherwise obtain the Companys processes
and technology or deter others from developing similar processes or technology, which could weaken
the Companys competitive position. The protection provided to the Companys proprietary technology
by the laws of foreign jurisdictions may not protect it as fully as the laws of Canada or the
United States. Some of the underlying technologies of the Companys products and system components
are not covered by patents or patent applications.
The Company has patents issued and patent applications pending, including those covering its
digital projector and digital conversion technology. The Companys patents are filed in the United
States often with corresponding patents or filed applications in other jurisdictions, such as
Canada, Belgium, Japan, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The patents may not be issued or
provide the Company with any competitive advantages. The patent applications may also be challenged
by third parties. Several of the Companys issued patents in the United States, Canada and Japan
for improvements to IMAX projectors, IMAX 3D Dome and sound system components expire between 2009
and 2024. Any claims or litigation initiated by the Company to protect its proprietary technology
could be time consuming, costly and divert the attention of its technical and management resources.
Because the Company is incorporated in Canada, it may be difficult for plaintiffs to enforce
against the Company liabilities based solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.
The Company is incorporated under the federal laws of Canada, some of its directors and
officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such
directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for
United States plaintiffs to effect service within the United States upon those directors or
officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize against them or the Company in
the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability
under the United States federal securities laws. In addition, it may be difficult for plaintiffs to
bring an original action outside of the United States against the Company to enforce liabilities
based solely on U.S. federal securities laws.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
The Company received comments from the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC
(the Staff) in a letter dated September 20, 2006 with respect to the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2006. The Company responded to these comments in December 2006. In a letter dated
February 12, 2007, the Staff sent the Company additional comments, particularly in the area of its
revenue recognition policies and disclosures. The Company responded to the majority of these
comments in letters dated June 20, 2007 and July 2, 2007. The Company received additional comments
from the Staff in a letter dated August 17, 2007 with respect to the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. The Company responded to these comments in September 2007.
The Company has also received comments from the OSC dated November 20, 2006, to which the Company
responded on January 19, 2007. The Company has received further comments from the OSC relating to
the Companys revenue recognition policies and disclosures in letters dated February 27, 2007,
April 9, 2007 and June 27, 2007. The Company responded to these comments on September 28, 2007. The
Company has considered the SEC and OSC comments in the preparation of this Form 10-K/A. As
discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, the Company continues to discuss these areas with the SEC and
OSC and it is possible that further comments could arise as a result of these discussions

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In March 2005, the Company, together with Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (3DMG), filed
a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division,
against In-Three, Inc. (In-Three) alleging patent infringement. On March 10, 2006, the Company
and In-Three entered into a settlement agreement settling the dispute between the Company and
In-Three. On June 12, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western
Division, entered a stay in the proceedings against In-Three pending the arbitration of disputes
between the Company and 3DMG. Arbitration was initiated by the Company against 3DMG on May 15, 2006
before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New York, alleging breaches of the
license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG. On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an
answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that the Company breached the parties
license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the Arbitration Panel unanimously denied 3DMGs Motion for
Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the Companys claims and 3DMGs counterclaims.
On October 5, 2007, 3DMG amended its counterclaims and added counterclaims from UNIPAT.ORG relating
to fees allegedly owed to UNIPAT.ORG by the Company. An evidentiary hearing on liability issues has
been set for January 2008 with further proceedings on damages issues to be scheduled if and when
necessary. The Company will continue to pursue its claims vigorously and believes that all
allegations made by 3DMG are without merit. The Company further believes that the amount of loss,
if any, suffered in connection with the counterclaims would not have a material impact on the
financial position or operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to
the ultimate outcome of the arbitration.
In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theater Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company,
commenced an arbitration seeking damages of approximately $3.7 million before the International
Court of Arbitration of the International Chambers of Commerce (the ICC) with respect to the
breach by Electronic Media Limited (EML) of its December 2000 agreement with the Company. In June
2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against EMLs affiliate, E-CITI
Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (E-Citi), seeking $17.8 million in damages as a result of E-Citis
breach of a September 2000 lease agreement. The damages sought against E-Citi included the original
claim sought against EML. An arbitration hearing took place in November 2005 against E-Citi, which
included all claims by the Company. On February 1, 2006, the ICC issued an award on liability
finding unanimously in the Companys favor on all claims. Further hearings took place in July 2006
and December 2006. On August 24, 2007, the ICC issued an award unanimously in favor of the Company
in the amount of $9.4 million, consisting of past and future rents owed to the Company under
its lease agreements, plus interest and costs. In the award, the ICC upheld the validity and
enforceability of the Companys theater system contract. The Company has now submitted its
application to the arbitration panel for interest and costs and is awaiting the Panels decision on
that issue.
In June 2004, Robots of Mars, Inc. (Robots) initiated an arbitration proceeding against the
Company in California with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to an arbitration
provision in a 1994 film production agreement between Robots predecessor-in-interest and a
subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty
and intentional interference with contract. Robots is seeking an accounting of the Companys
revenues and an award of all sums alleged to be due to Robots under
the production agreement, as
well as punitive damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the arbitration proceeding and
believes the amount of the loss, if any, that may be suffered in connection with this proceeding
will not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company,
although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such arbitration.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings (contd)
The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in eight
purported class action lawsuits filed between August 11, 2006 and September 18, 2006, alleging
violations of U.S. federal securities laws. These eight actions were filed in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of New York. On January 18, 2007, the Court consolidated all eight
class action lawsuits and appointed Westchester Capital Management, Inc. as the lead plaintiff and
Abbey Spanier Rodd Abrams & Paradis LLP as lead plaintiffs counsel. On October 2, 2007, plaintiffs
filed a consolidated amended class action complaint. The amended complaint, brought on behalf of
shareholders who purchased the Companys common stock between February 27, 2003 through July 30,
2007, alleges primarily that the defendants engaged in securities fraud by disseminating materially
false and misleading statements during the class period regarding the Companys revenue recognition
of theater system installations, and failing to disclose material information concerning the
Companys revenue recognition practices. The amended complaint
also adds PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Companys auditors,
as a defendant. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. The
lawsuit is at a very early stage and as a result the Company is not able to estimate a potential
loss exposure. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the amended complaint are
meritless and will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurances can be given with respect
to the outcome of such proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy provides
for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as
potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits and deductibles. The deadline
for defendants to respond to the amended complaint is currently December 3, 2007.
A class action lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2006 in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of
Canadian securities laws. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the
Companys securities between February 17, 2006 and August 9, 2006. The lawsuit is in a very early
stage and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs and expenses. As a
result, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss exposure. The Company believes the
allegations made against it in the statement of claim are meritless and will vigorously defend the
matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of such
proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy provides for reimbursement for
costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as potential damages awarded,
if any, subject to certain policy limits and deductibles.
On September 7, 2007, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II, a holder of the Companys Senior
Notes (Catalyst), commenced an application against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice for a declaration of oppression pursuant to s. 229 and 241 of the Canada Business
Corporations Act (CBCA) and for a declaration that the Company is in default of the Indenture
governing its Senior Notes. The allegations of oppression are substantially the same as allegations
Catalyst made in a May 10, 2007 complaint filed against the Company in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, and subsequently withdrawn on October 12, 2007, wherein Catalyst challenged the
validity of the consent solicitation through which the Company requested and obtained a waiver of
any and all defaults arising from a failure to comply with the reporting covenant under the
Indenture and alleged common law fraud. Catalyst has also requested the appointment of an inspector
and an order that an investigation be carried out pursuant to s. 229 of the CBCA. In addition,
between March 2007 and October 2007, Catalyst has sent the Company eight purported notices of
default or acceleration under the Indenture. It is the Companys position that no default or event
of default (as those terms are defined in the Indenture) has occurred or is continuing under the
Indenture and, accordingly, that Catalysts purported acceleration notice is of no force or effect.
The Company is in the process of responding to the Ontario application and a hearing is scheduled
to take place on January 15 and 16, 2008. The litigation is at a preliminary stage and as a result, the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss exposure. The Company believes this
application is entirely without merit and plans to contest it vigorously and seek costs from
Catalyst, although no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of the proceedings.
On June 19, 2007, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the Companys application to
call its Annual General Meeting between June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal
proceedings which, in the opinion of the Companys management, will not materially affect the
Companys financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given with
respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 340 registered holders of record of the
Companys common shares.
The Company has not paid within the last three fiscal years, and has no current plans to pay,
cash dividends on its common shares. The payment of dividends by the Company is subject to certain
restrictions under the terms of the Companys indebtedness (see notes 12 and 14 to the accompanying
audited financial statements in Item 8 and Liquidity and Capital Resources in Item 7). The
payment of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions
then existing, including the Companys financial condition and requirements, future prospects,
restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the
Board of Directors.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences of the ownership and disposition of the common shares by a U.S. Holder (a U.S.
Holder). A U.S. Holder generally means a holder of common shares that is an individual resident of
the United States or a United States corporation. This discussion does not discuss all aspects of
U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to investors subject to special treatment under
U.S. federal income tax law (including, for example, owners of 10.0% or more of the voting shares
of the Company).

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS (contd)
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations (contd)
Distributions on Common Shares
In general, distributions (without reduction for Canadian withholding taxes) paid by the
Company with respect to the common shares will be taxed to a U.S. Holder as dividend income to the
extent that such distributions do not exceed the current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Company (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Subject to certain limitations,
dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation as long
as the Company is considered to be a qualified foreign corporation. A qualified foreign
corporation includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of an income tax
treaty with the United States. The amount of a distribution that exceeds the earnings and profits
of the Company will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S.
Holders tax basis in the common shares and thereafter as taxable capital gain. Corporate holders
generally will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received in respect of distributions on
common shares. Subject to the limitations set forth in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, as modified
by the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Treaty, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a foreign tax credit against
their U.S. federal income tax liability for Canadian income tax withheld from dividends.
Alternatively, U.S. Holders may claim a deduction for such amounts of Canadian tax withheld.
Disposition of Common Shares
Upon the sale or other disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize
capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and such
holders tax basis in the common shares. Gain or loss upon the disposition of the common shares
will be long-term if, at the time of the disposition, the common shares have been held for more
than one year. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.
Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations
This summary is applicable to a holder or prospective purchaser of common shares who is not
(and is not deemed to be) resident in Canada, does not (and is not deemed to) use or hold the
common shares in, or in the course of, carrying on a business in Canada, and is not an insurer that
carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the
regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend such Act and regulations publicly announced
by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof and the Companys
understanding of the administrative and assessing practices published in writing by the Canada
Revenue Agency. This summary does not otherwise take into account any change in law or
administrative practice, whether by judicial, governmental, legislative or administrative action,
nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax consequences, which may
vary from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be
construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of the common shares and no representation with
respect to Canadian federal income tax consequences to any holder of common shares is made herein.
Accordingly, prospective purchasers and holders of the common shares should consult their own tax
advisers with respect to their individual circumstances.
Dividends on Common Shares
Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25.0% (subject to reduction under the provisions of any
relevant tax treaty) will be payable on dividends paid or credited to a holder of common shares
outside of Canada. Under the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), the withholding tax rate is
generally reduced to 15.0% for a holder entitled to the benefits of the treaty (or 5.0% if the
holder is a corporation that owns at least 10.0% of the common shares).
Capital Gains and Losses
Subject to the provisions of any relevant tax treaty, capital gains realized by a holder on
the disposition or deemed disposition of common shares held as capital property will not be subject
to Canadian tax unless the common shares are taxable Canadian property (as defined in the Income
Tax Act (Canada)), in which case the capital gains will be subject to Canadian tax at rates which
will approximate those payable by a Canadian resident. Common shares will not be taxable Canadian
property to a holder provided that, at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition, the
common shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which currently includes the TSX) unless
such holder, persons with whom such holder did not deal at arms length or such holder together
with all such persons, owned 25.0% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of
the Company at any time within the 60 month period immediately preceding such time. Under the
Canada-U.S. Income Tax Treaty, a holder entitled to the benefits of the treaty and to whom the
common shares are taxable Canadian property will not be subject to Canadian tax on the disposition
or deemed disposition of the common shares unless at the time of disposition or deemed disposition,
the value of the common shares is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
(In thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share amounts)
The selected financial data set forth below is derived from the consolidated financial
information of the Company. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. All financial information referred to herein is expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
noted.
The following explains the restatement adjustments that have been presented in both the
Original 2006 Form 10-K, filed on July 20, 2007 (referred to as the First Restatement), and this
Form 10-K/A (referred to as the Second Restatement). Information regarding the First Restatement
and Second Restatement are presented below under Summary Tables.
a) First Restatement
As explained in note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8,
the Company identified certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition, resulting from the
Companys review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to comments
received from the staff of both the SEC and OSC, which indicated insufficient analysis of various
sales and lease transactions and the accounting effect of certain contractual provisions within
them; and, misallocations of consideration to elements within certain multiple element
arrangements; (b) capitalization of costs into inventory and film assets and amortization of film
assets in accordance with Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films (SOP 00-2); (c) income tax liabilities resulting from failure to make certain tax
elections on a timely basis and (d) certain other items described under Other Adjustments in this
item. In addition, in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company
recorded other adjustments related to prior periods unadjusted differences that had been deemed
not to be material and adjustments related to prior periods recorded through 2002 opening retained
earnings. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods presented were restated to
reflect these error corrections under U.S. GAAP. A summary description of the more significant
items resulting in the restatement are as follows:
|
i. |
|
The Companys revenue recognition policy was revised to recognize revenue only when
all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen
system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses
cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has
been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance
certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the
completion of projection training or (b) public opening of the theater. These revisions
impact the timing of when the Company recognizes revenue from theater system sales and
leases and resulted in revenue related to 14 transactions being moved to later years
(revenue and net earnings impact of $27.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively). As a
consequence, revenue and net earnings of $5.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively,
related to three transactions has been deferred to be recognized in years subsequent to
2006. The most significant impact was in 2005, where revenue for 10 installations was
moved to later years (revenue and net earnings impact of $17.5 million and $9.7 million,
respectively). Eight installations were moved to 2006 (with a revenue and net earnings
impact of $14.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively) and two installations (with a
revenue and net earnings impact of $3.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively) were
moved to 2007. |
|
|
|
|
An additional 16 transactions (revenue and net earnings impact of $25.4 million and $14.1
million, respectively) moved between quarters in the year they were originally reported.
These adjustments have been included in the restated Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)
presented on page 146. |
|
|
|
|
Other adjustments related to theater systems include the misallocation of consideration to
elements within certain multiple element arrangements, reclassification of certain
transactions from sales to sales-type leases and from sales-type leases to operating leases
given remaining lien rights or non-standard contractual provisions, inappropriate deferral
and allocation of revenue to elements, and improperly recognized finance income on certain
transactions. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of income of $1.9 million for
the period 2002 through 2006. |
|
|
ii. |
|
Adjustments for inventory costs, film and income tax accounting and the impact of
prior periods unadjusted differences resulted in a net decrease of income of $4.6
million for periods prior to 2006 including a net decrease of income of $0.8 million in
periods prior to 2002, $3.1 million of these timing adjustments increased income in 2006
with the remaining $1.5 million to increase income in 2007 and thereafter. |

Item 6. Selected Financial Data (contd)
b) Second Restatement
In October 2007, the Company announced that, after a review of its real estate leases, it had
identified certain errors related to its accounting practices as they relate to such leases for
certain of the Companys owned and operated theaters and office facilities. The Company conducted
this review after performing an analysis of a rent-abatement agreement initiated in connection with
the higher level of Finance Department oversight and awareness contemplated by the Companys ongoing
remediation plan (see Item 9A). The review focused on the Companys historical accounting practice
for recording the impact of rent holidays, abatements, escalation clauses and landlord construction
allowances. The Company also reviewed its accounting for theater sponsorship revenue at its owned
and operated theaters. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that certain of its prior
practices were not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Company has restated its consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 as well as
interim quarterly results. See Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) in Item 8 for the effects of
these corrections and changes on the Companys interim quarterly periods in 2006 and 2005. The
overall net impact of these restatement errors was an increase in net loss by less than $0.1
million in 2006, a decrease in net earnings for 2005 of $0.2 million, a decrease in net earnings
for 2004 of $0.3 million, a decrease in net loss for 2003 of less than $0.1 million and a decrease
in net earnings for 2002 of $1.2 million. In addition, the net impact of the restatement for
periods prior to 2002 was a net increase in shareholders
deficit of $4.0 million as at December 31, 2001.
Furthermore, the Company identified an error relating to the classification of a theater system
arrangement. The arrangement was originally treated as a sale with contingent minimums however,
after further review of significant terms in the agreement it was determined that the arrangement
should have been treated as an operating lease. The net impact of this restatement is a decrease in
net loss of $0.1 million for 2006, an increase in net earnings of $0.1 million for 2005 and 2004,
respectively, a decrease in net loss of $0.1 million in 2003 and a decrease in net earnings of $0.8
million in 2002. This error did not have any impact on shareholders deficit as at December 31,
2001.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data (contd)

|
The Company enters into theater system arrangements with customers that typically contain
customer payment obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater systems.
During the period of time between signing and theater system installations, certain customers
each year are unable to, or elect not to, proceed with theater system installations for a
number of reasons, including business considerations, or the inability to obtain certain
consents, approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not
proceed with installation, the customer and/or the Company may terminate the arrangement by
default or by entering into a consensual buyout. In these situations the parties are released
from their future obligations under the arrangement, and the initial payments that the
customer previously made to the Company and recognized as revenue are typically not refunded.
In addition, since the introduction of its IMAX MPX system configuration in 2003, the Company
has agreed with several customers to terminate their obligations for another theater system
configuration, which were in the Companys backlog, and agreed to acquire or lease an IMAX MPX
system configuration. Included in Other Revenues for the periods 2002 through 2006 are the
following types of settlement arrangements: |

2003 (the Subordinated Notes). During 2002, the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company purchased and cancelled an aggregate of $20.5 million of the Subordinated Notes for

the Company arising under the Companys 6.0% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture due from
MFE. The Company had recorded a gain of $1.9 million related to the final settlement. During
2004, the Company also recorded a charge of $0.1 million related to the writedown of an
investment. |
|

|
In 2006, the Company recorded an increase to the deferred tax valuation allowance of $6.2
million based upon the Companys recoverability assessments of deferred tax balances carried
forward from the prior year. At December 31, 2006 the Company has determined that based on the
weight of available evidence, positive and negative, a full valuation allowance for the net
deferred tax assets was required. |

Item 6. Selected Financial Data (contd)
IMPACT OF FIRST RESTATEMENT (contd)
Revenue Recognition Theater Systems
As described in notes 1 and 2 (n) to the accompanying audited consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8, the Companys revenue arrangements includes multiple elements. In
prior years, the Company considered each component of its theater systems to be a separate element.
As a result, revenue was recognized when certain components were installed. As part of the review
of its revenue recognition policy, the Company concluded its policy for revenue recognition on
theater systems should be revised to treat all components of the theater system (including the
projector, sound system, and screen system and, if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine),
theater design support, supervision of installation, projectionist training and the use of the IMAX
brand as a single deliverable and as a single unit of accounting, the System Deliverable. In
addition, the Company revised its policy to recognize revenue only when all of the following
conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and
are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been
delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed, and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of
written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the
equipment and the completion of projection training or (b) public opening of the theater. In
conjunction with these changes, the Company undertook an extensive review of all of its revenue
arrangements for theater systems for the period from 2002 to 2006. One transaction that was
originally recorded in 2002 (revenue and net earnings impact of $4.9 million and $2.1 million,
respectively) was moved to 2005. There were no adjustments required in 2003 as a result of this
revision to the policy.
Revenue Recognition Other
As a result of the review of the revenue arrangements, the Company identified additional errors
including the following:
|
§ |
|
Based on an analysis of fair values of the elements within its arrangements, the Company
determined that the allocations of consideration received and receivable to elements of
multiple element arrangements were not updated to reflect the current fair values of
particular elements, in particular fair values of maintenance and extended warranty services
in the periods affected were not updated in accordance with the accounting guidance in
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21 and other applicable standards. This affected
allocations of consideration in various arrangements to the System Deliverable (as defined
above), maintenance and extended warranty services, 3D glasses and film license credits. In
addition, in certain arrangements, settlement income was adjusted to reflect the residual
amount based on other elements being reflected at their fair values. |
|
|
§ |
|
The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the
reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions, for
accounting purposes when the customer was not granted title to the system until all payments
were made and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the
benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer; and the timing of recognition
of the minimum annual payments under certain arrangements. |
|
|
§ |
|
Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the Company
meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The Company has
deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an alternate theater
system configuration. |
|
|
§ |
|
Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were
impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the recognition of finance
income until the impairment issues were resolved. |
The impact of these adjustments was a decrease to net earnings of $2.2 million and an increase
to net loss of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Inventory Costs
During the period from 2001 to 2006, the Company paid certain fees to a professional services
firm to assist the Company in identifying sales opportunities and provide assistance in negotiating
and concluding contracts in the developing Asian market. These fees were capitalized and allocated
to theater systems inventory for various Asian customers. The Company has determined that these
fees were promotional and selling expenses which should have been expensed as incurred as the costs
were not direct and incremental costs to a contract. The statement of operations has been adjusted
by a decrease to net earnings of $0.4 million and an increase to net loss of $0.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data (contd)
IMPACT OF FIRST RESTATEMENT (contd)
Film Accounting
On certain co-produced film productions the Company received production fees which should have
been deferred and amortized over the film ultimates. These production fees were previously recorded
as income when cash was received. The Company also determined that it had not appropriately applied
the individual-film-forecast computation method when it amortized its deferred production fees for
2003. SOP 00-2 Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films requires changes in estimates of
ultimate revenues used in the individual-film-forecast computation method to be adjusted
prospectively from the beginning of the year of the change. The Company had applied changes in
estimates on a retroactive basis from the original release date. In addition, the Company adjusted
its amortization of prepaid print costs.
Branch Level Interest Taxes
The Company did not properly account for tax liabilities for branch level interest tax. For
the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company failed to make a timely tax election that would have
prevented an allocation of the Companys interest expense on its long-term indebtedness to the
Companys U.S. branch income tax returns. In 2006, the Company was assessed branch level interest
taxes, interest and penalties due to the fact that this tax election was not filed on a timely
basis. The Company has determined that an accrued liability for the tax obligation should have been
recorded at the time the election should have been filed and the taxes were due to be paid, which
was in the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2003.
Other Adjustments
During the preparation of executive compensation information for the 2006 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, the Company determined that the two Co-CEOs were entitled to postretirement benefits
since 2000 for which the obligation had not been included in the prior financial statements as
required under SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions. As a result, the Company should have accrued $0.2 million in 2000. SG&A was understated
by less than $0.1 million in 2002 and $0.1 million in 2003 for this obligation.
As part of its restatement, the Company recorded all unadjusted differences that were deemed
to be not material when the prior periods financial statements were issued by the Company. The
following paragraphs summarize the significant adjustments. The restatements include certain
deminimus adjustments which have not been explained below which aggregated to $0.1 million in 2003
and $0.3 million in 2002.
In 2002, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $0.6 million on a return of certain
system components which the Company has decided to use as a training system. As the equipment was
designated as an asset to be held and used, the carrying value of the system was recoverable.
Accordingly, an impairment should not have been recorded and the asset should have been depreciated
over its remaining life of three years.
The Company inadvertently did not subject certain of its camera assets to depreciation in the
years ended 2002 and 2003. The restatement records this depreciation expense.
The Company accrued excess interest of three days in the amount of $0.1 million at the end of
2003 related to the Companys Senior Notes. The restatement decreased interest expense in 2003.
In 2001, the Company received funds from a sponsor for naming rights for certain films
expiring in 2003. The Companys policy is to recognize revenue and costs over the term of the
sponsorship agreement; however, for this particular agreement, the Company recognized revenues and
costs over a longer period than the agreement period. As a result, the Companys revenues were
increased in 2002 and decreased in 2003.
In 2003, the Company incorrectly valued its stock options, resulting in an increase in net
earnings.
The Company recorded certain accruals in 2001 which should not have been recorded until 2002.
These accruals were related to severance payments for employees without having communicated
termination to those employees by the year end, and other restructuring related accruals which did
not qualify for accrual under U.S. GAAP. As a result of this restatement, in 2002, cost of sales
for services, restructuring costs and asset impairments, SG&A, and interest expense were increased.
In 2002, the Company did not eliminate intercompany revenue and costs relating to intercompany
transactions involving the Companys film post-production subsidiary. As a result, in 2002, the
restatement adjustment decreased revenues from services and cost of sales from services. In 2003,
cost of sales from services was reduced.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data (contd)
IMPACT OF SECOND RESTATEMENT (contd)
Operating Leases
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS
13), and related interpretations require that rent expense related to operating leases be
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease commencing when a lessee takes
possession of or controls the use of the space. In addition, FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1, Issues
Related to Accounting for Leases, requires lease incentives, such as landlord construction
allowances received to defray construction costs incurred by the Company, be reflected as a
deferred lease incentive, amortized over the lease term as a reduction to rent expense. Previously,
the Company had recognized certain rent reductions and escalation clauses based on cash payments
beginning from the date of occupancy or lease commencement date, which had the effect of excluding
any rent expense during the build-out period. In addition, in certain cases, the Company had not
recorded landlord construction allowances as a deferred lease incentive. The Company has restated
the current and prior years consolidated financial statements to recognize net rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the period from the date the Company obtains possession and control of the
property to the end of the lease term. Net rent expense includes payments as required under the
lease adjusted for rent holidays, abatements, escalation clauses and construction allowances. In
addition, the Company adjusted depreciation and impairment charges to reflect the full cost of the
leaseholds acquired. The net impact of these restatement errors on net earnings was an increase in
the net loss of $0.1 million in 2006, a decrease in net earnings for 2005 and 2004 of $0.1 million
and $0.4 million, respectively, a decrease in net loss of $0.1 million in 2003 and a decrease in
net earnings of $1.0 million in 2002. In addition, the impact of the restatement for periods prior
to 2002 was a net increase in shareholders deficit of $4.0 million as at December 31, 2001.
Sponsorship Revenue
The Company also determined the accounting for theater sponsorship revenue should have been
recognized on a straight line basis over the contractual period of the sponsorship. Previously,
the Company recorded these revenues based on cash collections. The net impact of these restatement
errors was a decrease in net loss of less than $0.1 million in 2006, a decrease in net earnings for
2005 of $0.1 million, an increase in net earnings of $0.1 million in 2004, a decrease in net loss
of $0.1 million in 2003 and an decrease in net earnings of $0.2 million in 2002. In addition, the
net impact of the restatement for periods prior to 2002 was a net increase in shareholders deficit
of $0.1 million as at December 31, 2001.
Revenue Recognition
The Company also determined that one theater system revenue transaction had been classified as
a sale with contingent minimums, which should have been classified as an operating lease. The Company reached this conclusion
after consideration of EITF Issue No. 95-1, Revenue Recognition on Sales with Guaranteed Minimum
Resale Value and SFAS 13, since the arrangement contained an option, exercisable by the customer,
requiring the Company to repurchase the theater system equipment for a fixed amount under certain
conditions. The net impact of this restatement a decrease in net loss of $0.1 million for 2006, an
increase in net earnings of $0.1 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease in net loss of
$0.1 million in 2003 and a decrease in net earnings of $0.8 million in 2002. This correction did
not have any impact on shareholders deficit as at December 31, 2001.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
As part of the Second Restatement, the Company changed the presentation of cash flows from
discontinued operations to include cash flows related to operating and investing activities within
those respective categories. Previously, the Company presented these cash flows on a net basis as a
single caption within the statements of cash flows. Other changes to the statements of cash flows
were made to conform the components of the reconciliation to net cash provided by or used in
operating activities related to the restatement adjustments described above.

IMAX CORPORATION
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
The principal business of IMAX Corporation together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
Company) is the design, manufacture, sale or lease of theater systems for large-format theaters
including commercial theaters, museums and science centers, and destination entertainment sites. In
addition, the Company specializes in digital and film-based motion picture technologies, designs
and manufactures high-end sound systems and produces and distributes large-format films. At
December 31, 2006, there were 284 IMAX theaters operating in 40 countries.
The Company derives revenue principally from the sale or long-term lease of its theater
systems and associated maintenance and extended warranty services, the provision of film production
and digital re-mastering services, the distribution of certain films, and the provision of
post-production services. The Company also derives revenue from the operation of its own theaters,
camera rentals and the provision of aftermarket parts for its system components.
Important factors that the Companys Co-Chief Executive Officers (Co-CEOs) use in assessing
the Companys business and prospects include the signing of new theater systems arrangements,
revenue, gross margins from the Companys operating segments, earnings from operations as adjusted
for unusual items that the Company views as non-recurring and the success of strategic initiatives
such as the securing of new film projects, particularly IMAX DMR films, the signing and financial
performance of joint revenue sharing arrangements and the progress of the Companys development of
a digital projector and related technologies.
Theater Systems
The Company provides its theater systems to customers on a sales or long-term lease basis,
typically with initial terms of 10 to 20 years. These agreements typically provide for three major
sources of cash flows: initial fees, ongoing fees (which include a fixed minimum amount per annum
and contingent fees in excess of the minimum payments) and maintenance and extended warranty fees.
The initial fees vary depending on the system configuration and location of the theater and
generally are paid to the Company in installments commencing upon the signing of the agreement.
Ongoing fees are paid monthly over the term of the contract, commencing after the theater system
has been installed and are generally equal to the greater of a fixed minimum amount per annum and a
percentage of box-office receipts. Finance income is derived over the term of the sales or
sales-type lease arrangement as the unearned income on financed sales and sales-type leases is
earned. An annual maintenance and extended warranty fee is generally payable commencing in the
second year of theater operations. Both ongoing fees and maintenance and extended warranty fees are
typically indexed to the local consumer price index.
Revenue on theater system leases and sales are recognized at a different time than when cash
is collected. See Critical Accounting Policies below for further discussion on the Companys
revenue recognition policies.
As at December 31, 2006, there were 41 opened 2D flat screen system configurations, 69 opened
2D dome screen system configurations, 85 opened 3D GT system configurations, 51 opened 3D SR system
configurations, 32 opened IMAX MPX system configurations, and six 3D Dome screen system
configurations in the world. As at December 31, 2005, there were 45 opened 2D flat screen system
configurations, 68 opened 2D dome screen system configurations, 77 opened 3D GT system
configurations, 48 opened 3D SR system configurations, 21 opened IMAX MPX system configurations,
and seven 3D Dome screen system configurations in the world.
Although approximately 37% of opened IMAX system configurations are located outside of North
America and approximately 74% of IMAX theater systems arrangements in backlog are scheduled to be
installed outside of North America, the North American commercial exhibitor market represents an
important customer base for the Company in terms of both collections under existing long-term lease
and sales arrangements and potential future theater system contracts. Many large North American
exhibitors have recently consolidated with new capital raised, often in public markets. Along with
numerous international and regional operators, the Company has targeted these North American
operators for the sale and lease of its IMAX MPX system. The IMAX MPX system, launched in March
2003, is a large-format theater system designed for multiplex theaters, which can be installed as
part of a newly constructed multiplex or as a retrofit to existing commercial multiplex
auditoriums, and is designed to improve a multiplex owners financial returns through lower
operating and capital costs. Since the products introduction, the Company has signed agreements
for 84 IMAX MPX theater systems of which 31 were signed with North American exhibitors. Five of the
84 signed agreements for IMAX MPX theater systems were conditional where conditions have since
lapsed. Twelve of the IMAX MPX systems were sold or leased in 2006. While the Company is pleased
with the external developments in the North American commercial exhibitor market, there is no
assurance that they will continue or that other commercial exhibitors will not encounter additional
financial difficulties. To minimize the Companys credit risk in this area, the Company retains
title to the underlying theater systems leased, performs initial and ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers and makes ongoing provisions for its estimates of potentially uncollectible amounts.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(contd)
GENERAL (contd)
Theater Systems (contd)
The revenue earned from customers under the Companys theater system lease or sales agreements
can vary from quarter to quarter and year to year based on a number of factors including the mix of
theater system configurations sold or leased, the timing of installation of the theater systems,
the nature of the arrangement and other factors specific to individual contracts, although the
typical rent or sales price for its various theater system configurations does not generally vary
significantly from region to region. The Company has taken steps in recent years to accelerate the
growth of the global IMAX theater network and the sale or lease of its products by developing a
lower-cost theater system designed to appeal to broader customer bases, particularly in commercial
multiplex markets. Although these theater systems are lower-cost, the Company has endeavored to
successfully maintain its per unit margins on a percentage basis and to maintain the aggregate
revenues and gross margins through increased volume. The Company signed 34 theater systems
agreements in 2006 (2005 45, 2004 36), four of which were conditional, where conditions have
since lapsed.
Recently the Company has entered into a number of joint revenue sharing arrangements, where
the Company receives a portion of a theaters box-office and concession revenue in exchange for
placing a theater system at theater operators venues. Under these arrangements, the Company
receives no up-front fee, and the Company retains title to the theater system. The Company believes
that its joint revenue sharing arrangements represent an effective way for it to deploy capital,
add incremental theater growth and realize the benefits of network economics more quickly. The
Company believes that, by its contributing the theater system, with the exhibitor responsible for
the theater retrofit costs, it significantly lowers the capital cost for exhibitors to deploy an
IMAX theater, which, in turn, expands the IMAX network more rapidly and provides the Company with
an increasingly significant portion of the IMAX box office from its licensed theaters, as well as a
continuing portion of the IMAX DMR film revenue from the film studio.
The Company is in the process of developing a digitally-based IMAX projector which would
operate without the need for analog film prints. The Company anticipates that its digital
projector, which will be targeted to a large portion of its commercial multiplex operators as a
replacement for the IMAX MPX projector, will be available for production and sale by early 2009.
The Companys goal is to create a digital product that provides a differentiated experience to
moviegoers that is consistent with what they have come to expect from the IMAX brand. The Company
believes that transitioning from a film-based platform to a digital platform for a large portion of
its customer base is compelling for a number of reasons. The savings to the studios as a result of
eliminating film prints are considerable, as the typical cost of an IMAX film print ranges from
$22.5 thousand per 2D print to $45 thousand per 3D print. Removing those costs will significantly
increase the profit of an IMAX release for a studio which, the Company believes, provides more
incentive for studios to release their films to IMAX theaters. The Company similarly believes that
economics change favorably for its exhibition clients as a result of a digital transition, since
lower print costs and the increased programming flexibility that digital delivery provides should
allow theaters to program three to four additional IMAX DMR films per year, thereby increasing both
customer choice and total box-office revenue. Finally, digital transmission allows for the
opportunity to show attractive alternate programming, such as live events like the Super Bowl or
World Cup, in the immersive environment of an IMAX theater.
Sales Backlog
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company signed contracts for 34 IMAX theater
system configurations valued at $50.1 million (21 contracts valued at $34.1 million are included in
backlog as at December 31, 2006 relating to 2006 signings). At December 31, 2006, the sales
backlog, which represented contracts for 74 theater systems, totaled $118.4 million. Excluded from
the backlog are four system configurations which were conditional signings for which the conditions
have now lapsed. The Company believes that the contractual obligations for theater system
installations that are listed in sales backlog are valid and binding commitments. The sales backlog
will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the signing of new theater system arrangements,
which adds to backlog, and the installation and acceptance of theater systems and the settlement of
contracts, both of which reduce backlog. Sales backlog typically represents the fixed contracted
revenue under signed theater system sale and lease agreements that the Company believes will be
recognized as revenue as the associated theater systems are installed and accepted. Sales backlog
includes initial fees along with the present value of contractual ongoing fees due over the lease
term, but excludes amounts allocated to maintenance and extended warranty revenues as well as fees
in excess of contractual ongoing fees that might be received in the future. Operating leases and
joint revenue sharing arrangements are assigned no value in the sales backlog. The value of sales
backlog does not include revenue from theaters in which the Company has an equity interest, letters
of intent or long-term conditional theater commitments.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(contd)
GENERAL (contd)
Sales Backlog (contd)
The Companys backlog can be segregated by both territory of future installation and by
customer type. The percentage of backlog relevant to each territory (based on installed dollar
value of anticipated theater system revenue as at December 31, 2006) is as follows: Asia 43%,
North America 22%, Europe 13%, Central and South America 13%, and Middle East 9%. In
addition, 88% of backlog represents future installations to commercial theater customers and 12% to
institutional customers.
The Company estimates that approximately 22 of the 74 theater systems arrangements currently
in backlog will be recognized in 2007, with the remainder being recognized in subsequent periods.
In 2006, the Company signed agreements for the sale or lease of 34 theater system configurations.
Out of the 34 signed agreements, four of which were conditional agreements where conditions have
lapsed, 22 were for IMAX MPX theater systems. The configuration of the Companys backlog as at
December 31, 2006 by product type has been disclosed on page 8.
In the normal course of its business the Company each year will have customers who, for a
number of reasons including the inability to obtain certain consents, approvals or financing, are
unable to proceed with a theater system installation. Once the determination is made that the
customer will not proceed with installation, the agreement with the customer is generally
terminated or amended. If the agreement is terminated, upon the Company and the customer being
released from all their future obligations under the agreement, all or a portion of the initial
rents or fees that the customer previously made to the Company are recognized as revenue.
Film Production and Digital Re-Mastering (IMAX DMR)
Films produced by the Company are typically financed through third parties, whereby the
Company will generally receive a film production fee in exchange for producing the film and will be
a distributor of the film. The ownership rights to such films may be held by the film sponsors, the
film investors and/or the Company. In the past, the Company often internally financed film
production, but has moved to a model utilizing third-party funding for the large-format films it
produces and distributes. In 2006, the Company released one produced film, Deep Sea 3D, which was
co-produced with Warner Bros. Pictures (WB) (2005 1 film, Magnificent Desolation: Walking on
the Moon 3D).
The Company has developed a proprietary technology to digitally re-master 35mm live-action
films into 15/70-format film at a modest cost, for exhibition in IMAX theaters. This system, known
as IMAX DMR, digitally enhances the image resolution quality of 35mm motion picture films for
projection on IMAX screens while maintaining the visual clarity and sound quality for which The
IMAX Experience is known. This technology has opened the IMAX theater network up to releases of
Hollywood films, particularly new films which are released to IMAX theaters simultaneously with the
domestic release to conventional 35mm theaters. The Company believes that the development of this
new technology is key to helping it execute its strategy of growing its commercial theater network
by its establishment of a distribution platform for Hollywood films. In 2006, the Company released
seven films converted through the IMAX DMR process contemporaneously with the releases of the films
to conventional 35mm theaters (four films were released in 2005 that were converted through the
IMAX DMR process). The Company is developing a new digital projector system which it believes will
result in even more Hollywood features being released to the IMAX network.
While the Company is optimistic about the success of, and consumer reaction, to its IMAX DMR
technology to date, there is no guarantee that it will continue to be commercially successful, or
continue to receive widespread acceptance by film studios and audiences.
Film Distribution
The Company is a significant distributor of 15/70-format films. The Company generally
distributes films which it has produced or for which it has acquired distribution rights from
independent producers. As a distributor, the Company generally receives a percentage of the theater
box-office receipts.

Theater Operations
The Company has seven owned and operated theaters. In addition, the Company has entered into
commercial arrangements with two theaters resulting in the sharing of profits and losses. The
Company also provides management services to two theaters.
International Operations
A significant portion of the Companys sales are made to customers located outside the United
States and Canada. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately, 36%, 42% and 41% respectively, of the
Companys revenue was derived outside the United States and Canada. The Company expects that
international operations will continue to account for a substantial portion of the Companys
revenue in the future. In order to minimize exposure to exchange rate risk, the Company prices
theater systems (the largest component of revenue) in U.S. dollars except in Canada, Japan and
parts of Europe where they may be priced in local currency. Annual ongoing fees and maintenance and
extended warranty fees follow a similar currency policy.
Material Weaknesses
Over the course of the year-end audit, the Company and its independent auditors identified a
number of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition,
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as at
December 31, 2006 and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective.
The material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2006 are:
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over
the analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in
accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP); |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls,
over accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls,
over the accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate
recording of postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the review of the accounting
implications relating to lease transactions involving its owned and operated theaters
and corporate facilities in accordance with the U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of
the provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP; |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication
between operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue
recognition for sales and lease transactions; and |
|
|
|
|
the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication
between departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the
Companys financial reporting. |
After considering these weaknesses, the Companys Co-CEOs and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
have also concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to
provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company
submits is recorded, processed, summarized and reported appropriately.
The Company is in the process of implementing remedial measures and compensating procedures to
address these material weaknesses. These material weaknesses if left unaddressed, could result in
accounting errors, which could adversely impact the accuracy and timing of future reports and
filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and Ontario
Securities Commission (the OSC). In addition, the Company expects that implementation of remedial
measures and full remediation of its material weaknesses, internal control over financial reporting
and its disclosure controls and procedures will take time given a need to implement one
comprehensive remediation plan with a well defined set of objectives and agreed upon timelines. The
Company expects that its management will continue to devote significant time to the remedial
measures necessary to improve its process and procedures, which could be time consuming and may
disrupt the Companys business.

Material Weaknesses (contd)
On April 5, 2007, the Company announced its appointment of Joseph Sparacio in the position of
Executive Vice President of Finance. As expected, Mr. Sparacio assumed the duties of Chief
Financial Officer after the filing of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In October 2007, the Company announced that, after a review of its real estate leases, it had
identified certain errors related to its accounting practices as they relate to such leases for
certain of the Companys owned and operated theaters and office facilities. The Company conducted
this review after performing an analysis of a rent-abatement agreement initiated in connection with
the higher level of Finance Department oversight and awareness contemplated by Companys ongoing
remediation plan (see Item 9A). The review focused on the Companys historical accounting practice
for recording the impact of rent holidays, abatements, escalation clauses and landlord construction
allowances. The Company also reviewed its accounting for theater sponsorship revenue at its owned
and operated theaters. As a result of the review, the Company concluded that certain of its prior
practices were not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company identified an error
relating to revenue recognition, resulting from the Companys review of one theater system
arrangement which occurred in 2002, in response to comments received from the Staff of the SEC. As
a result of these errors, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 as well as interim quarterly results
(referred to as the Second Restatement).
In the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on July 20, 2007 (the Original 2006 Form
10-K), the Company identified certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition resulting from
the Companys review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to
comments received from the staff of both the SEC and OSC which indicated insufficient analysis of
various sales and lease transactions and the accounting effect of certain contractual provisions
within them; and misallocations of consideration to elements within certain multiple element
arrangements; (b) capitalization of costs into inventory and films assets and amortization of film
assets in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement Position
00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Film (SOP 00-2); (c) income tax liabilities
resulting from failure to make certain tax elections on a timely basis and (d) certain other items
described under Other Adjustments in Item 6 and note 4 to the accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements in Item 8. In addition, in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements, the Company recorded other adjustments related to prior periods unadjusted differences
that had been deemed not to be material and adjustments related to prior periods recorded through
2004 opening retained earnings. As a result of these errors, the Company has restated its
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 as
well as interim quarterly results. The corrections made in the Original 2006 Form 10-K are referred
to as the First Restatement.
The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods presented have been restated to
reflect these error corrections under U.S. GAAP. For additional discussion of this restatement see
Selected Financial Data in Item 6 and note 4 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial
statements in Item 8.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company reports its results under U.S. GAAP. Significant differences between United States
and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are summarized in note 29 to the accompanying
audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair
values associated with the individual elements in multiple element arrangements; residual values of
leased theater systems; economic lives of leased assets; allowances for potential uncollectibility
of accounts receivable, financing receivables and net investment in leases; provisions for
inventory obsolescence; ultimate revenues for film assets; estimates of fair values for film
assets, long-lived assets and goodwill; depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment; useful
lives of intangible assets; pension plan assumptions; accruals for contingencies including tax
contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets; and, estimates of the fair
value of stock-based payment awards. Management bases its estimates on historic experience, future
expectations and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the date of the
consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates due to
uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in
nature, and the differences may be material. The Companys significant accounting policies are
discussed in note 2 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
The Company considers the following critical accounting policies to have the most significant
effect on its estimates, assumptions and judgments:

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from various sources as follows:
|
|
|
Design, manufacture, sale and lease of proprietary theater systems for IMAX theaters
principally owned and operated by commercial and institutional customers located in 40
countries as of December 31, 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Production, digital re-mastering, post-production and/or distribution of certain
films shown throughout the IMAX theater network; |
|
|
|
|
Operation of certain IMAX theaters primarily in the United States and Canada; |
|
|
|
|
Provision of other services to the IMAX theater network including ongoing
maintenance and extended warranty services for IMAX theater systems; and |
|
|
|
|
Other activities, which includes short-term rental of cameras and aftermarket sales
of projector system components. |
Multiple Element Arrangements
The Companys revenue arrangements with certain customers may involve multiple elements
consisting of a theater system (projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, a 3D
glasses cleaning machine); services associated with the theater system including theater design
support, supervision of installation, and projectionist training; a license to use of the IMAX
brand; 3D glasses; maintenance and extended warranty services; and licensing of films. The Company
evaluates all elements in an arrangement to determine what are considered typical deliverables for
accounting purposes and which of the deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on
the applicable accounting guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13,
Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13); Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Technical
Bulletin No. 90-1, Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance
Contracts (FTB 90-1); Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films (SOP 00-2); and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements
with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If separate units of accounting are either required
under the relevant accounting standards or determined to be applicable under EITF 00-21, the total
consideration received or receivable in the arrangement is allocated based on the applicable
guidance in the above noted standards.
Theater Systems
The Company has identified the projection system, and sound system, screen system and, if
applicable, the 3D glasses cleaning machine, theater design support, supervision of installation,
projectionist training and the use of the IMAX brand to be a single deliverable and a single unit
of accounting (the System Deliverable). When an arrangement does not include all the elements of
a System Deliverable, the elements of the System Deliverable included in the arrangement are
considered by the Company to be a single deliverable and a single unit of accounting. The Company
is not responsible for the physical installation of the equipment in the customers facility;
however, the Company supervises the installation by the customer. The customer has the right to use
the IMAX brand from the date the Company and the customer enter into an arrangement.
The Companys System Deliverable arrangements involve either a lease or a sale of the theater
system. The consideration in the Companys arrangements consist of upfront or initial payments made
before and after the final installation of the theater system equipment and ongoing payments
throughout the term of the lease or over a period of time, as specified in the arrangement. The
ongoing payments provide for a fee which is the greater of a fixed amount or a certain percentage
of the theater box-office. The amounts over the fixed minimum amounts are considered contingent
payments. The Companys arrangements are non-cancellable, unless the Company fails to perform its
obligations. In the absence of a material default by the Company, there is no right to any remedy
for the customer under the Companys arrangements. If a material default by the Company exists, the
customer has the right to terminate the arrangement and seek a refund only if the customer provides
notice to the Company of a material default and only if the Company does not cure the default
within a specified period.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
Revenue Recognition (contd)
Sales Arrangements
For sales arrangements, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized in
accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104), when
all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen system
have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if
applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the
earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and
run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening
of the theater, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
The initial revenue recognized consists of the initial payments received and the present value
of any future initial payments and fixed minimum ongoing payments that have been attributed to this
unit of accounting. Contingent fees in excess of the fixed minimum ongoing payments are recognized
when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured.
The Company has also agreed, on occasion, to sell equipment under lease or at the end of a
lease term. Consideration agreed to for these lease buyouts is included in revenues from equipment
and product sales, when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are determinable
and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Lease Arrangements
The Company uses the guidance in EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement
Contains a Lease (EITF 01-8), to evaluate whether an arrangement is a lease within the scope of
SFAS 13. Arrangements not within the scope of SFAS 13 are accounted for either as a sales or
services arrangement, as applicable.
For lease arrangements, the Company determines the classification of the lease in accordance
with SFAS 13. A lease arrangement that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks
incident to ownership of the equipment is classified as a sales-type lease based on the criteria
established by SFAS 13; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Prior to
commencement of the lease term for the equipment, the Company may modify certain payment terms or
make concessions. If these circumstances occur, the Company reassesses the classification of the
lease based on the modified terms and conditions.
For sales-type leases, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized when the
lease term commences, which the Company deems to be when all of the following conditions have been
met (i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working
condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii)
projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written
customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment
and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided
collectibility is reasonably assured.
The initial revenue recognized for sales-type leases consists of the initial rents received
and the present value of future initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents computed at the
interest rate implicit in the lease. Contingent rents in excess of the fixed minimum rents are
recognized when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured.
For operating leases, initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents are recognized as revenue
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For operating leases, the lease term is considered to
commence when all of the following conditions have been met (i) the projector, sound system and
screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning
machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and
(iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written customer acceptance certifying the completion of
installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or
(b) public opening of the theater. Contingent fees in excess of fixed minimum ongoing fees are
recognized as revenue when reported by theater operators, provided that collection is reasonably
assured.

Revenue Recognition (contd)
Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements
For joint revenue sharing arrangements, where the Company receives a portion of the a
theaters box-office and concession revenue in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater
operators venue, revenue is recognized when reported by the theater operator, provided that
collection is reasonably assured.
The Company believes that its joint revenue sharing arrangements represent an effective way
for it to deploy capital, add incremental theater growth and realize the benefits of network
economics more quickly. The Company believes that by contributing the theater system, with the
exhibitor responsible for the theater retrofit costs, it significantly lowers the capital cost for
exhibitors to deploy an IMAX theater, which, in turn, expands the IMAX network more rapidly and
provides the Company with an increasingly significant portion of the IMAX box office from its
licensed theaters, as well as a continuing portion of the IMAX DMR film revenue from the film
studio.
Terminations and Consensual Buyouts
The Company enters into theater system arrangements with customers that contain customer
payment obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater system. During the period of
time between signing and the installation of the theater system, which may extend several years,
certain customers may be unable to, or elect not to, proceed with the theater system installation
for a number of reasons including business considerations, or the inability to obtain certain
consents, approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not proceed
with installation, the arrangement may be terminated under the default provisions of the
arrangement or by mutual agreement between the Company and the customer (a consensual buyout).
Terminations by default are situations when a customer does not meet the payment obligations under
an arrangement and the Company retains the amounts paid by the customer which are recorded in Other
revenues. Under a consensual buyout, the Company and the customer agree, in writing, to a
settlement and to release each other of any further obligations under the arrangement or an
arbitrated settlement is reached. Any initial payments retained or additional payment received by
the Company are recognized as revenue when the settlement arrangements are executed and the cash is
received, respectively. These termination and consensual buyout amounts are recognized in Other
revenues.
In addition, since the introduction of IMAX MPX theater system components in 2003, the Company
has agreed with several customers to convert their obligations for other theater system
configurations that have not yet been installed to arrangements to acquire or lease the IMAX MPX
theater system. The Company considers these situations to be a termination of the previous
arrangement and origination of a new arrangement for the MPX theater system. The Company continues
to defer an amount of any initial fees received from the customer such that aggregate of the fees
deferred and the net present value of the future fixed initial and ongoing payments to be received
from the customer equals the fair value of the IMAX MPX theater system to be leased or acquired by
the customer. Any residual portion of the initial fees received from the customer for the
terminated theater system is recorded in Other revenues at the time when the obligation for the
original theater system is terminated and the IMAX MPX theater system arrangement is signed.
The Company may offer certain incentives to customers to complete theater system transactions
including payment concessions or free services and products such as film licenses or 3D glasses.
The payment concessions do not affect the classification of leases. Reductions in, and deferral, of
payments are taken into account in determining the sales price either by a direct reduction in the
sales price or a reduction of payments to be discounted in accordance with SFAS 13 or Accounting
Principle Board Opinion No. 21, Interest on Receivables and Payables (APB 21). Free products
and services are accounted for as separate units of accounting.

Revenue Recognition (contd)
Maintenance and Extended Warranty Services
Maintenance and extended warranty services may be provided under a multiple element
arrangement or as a separately priced contract. Revenue related to these services are deferred and
recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Maintenance and extended warranty
services includes maintenance of the customers equipment and spare replacement parts. Under
certain maintenance arrangements, maintenance services may include the provision of training
services to the customers technicians. All costs associated with this maintenance program are
expensed as incurred. A loss on maintenance and extended warranty services is recognized if the
expected cost of providing the services under the contracts exceeds the related deferred revenue.
Film Production and IMAX DMR Services
In certain film arrangements, the Company produces a film financed by third parties, whereby
the third party retains the copyright and the Company obtains exclusive distribution rights. Under
these arrangements, the Company is entitled to a fixed fee or retains as a fee the excess of
funding over cost of production (the production fee). The third parties receive a portion of the
revenues received by the Company on distributing the film, which is charged to costs of revenue.
The production fees are deferred and recognized as a rebate of the cost of the film based on the
ratio of the Companys distribution revenues recognized in the current period to the ultimate
distribution revenues expected from the film.
Revenue from film production services where the Company does not hold the associated
distribution rights are recognized when performance of the contractual service is complete,
provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable and
collection is reasonably assured.
Revenues from digitally re-mastering (IMAX DMR) film where third parties own or hold the
copyrights and the rights to distribute the film are derived in the form of processing fees and
recoupments calculated as a percentage of box-office receipts generated from the re-mastered films.
Processing fees are recognized as revenues when the performance of the related re-mastering service
is completed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Recoupments calculated as a percentage of
box-office receipts are recognized as revenue when reported by the third party that owns or holds
the related film right, provided that collection is reasonably assured.
Losses on film production and IMAX DMR services are recognized in the period when it is
determined that the Companys estimate of total revenues to be realized by the Company will not
exceed estimated total production costs to be expended on the film production and the cost of IMAX
DMR services.
Film Distribution
Revenue from the licensing of films is recognized when a licensing arrangement exists, the
film has been completed and delivered, the license period has begun, the fee is fixed and
determinable and collection is reasonably assured. When license fees are based on a percentage of
box-office receipts, revenue is recognized when reported by exhibitor, provided that collection is
reasonably assured.
Film Post-Production Services
Revenues from post-production film services are recognized when performance of the contracted
services is complete.
Theater Operations Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from its owned and operated theaters resulting from box-office
ticket and concession sales as tickets are sold, films are shown and upon the sale of various
concessions. The sales are cash or credit card transactions with theatergoers based on fixed prices
per seat or per concession item.
In addition, the Company enters into commercial arrangements with third party theater owners
resulting in the sharing of profits and losses which are recognized when reported by such theaters.
The Company also provides management services to certain theaters and recognizes revenue over the
term of such services.

Other
Revenues on camera rentals are recognized over the rental period.
Revenue from the sale of 3D glasses is recognized when the 3D glasses have been delivered to
the customer.
Other service revenues are recognized when the performance of contracted services is complete.
Allowances for Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables
Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are based on the Companys assessment of the
collectibility of specific customer balances, which is based upon a review of the customers credit
worthiness, past collection history and the underlying asset value of the equipment, where
applicable. Interest on overdue accounts receivable is recognized as income as the amounts are
collected.
The Company monitors the performance of the theaters to which it has leased or sold theater
systems which are subject to ongoing payments. When facts and circumstances indicate that there is
a potential impairment in the net investment in lease or a financing receivable, the Company will
evaluate the potential outcome of either renegotiations involving changes in the terms of the
receivable or defaults on the existing lease or financed sale agreements. The Company will record a
provision if it is considered probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
under the contractual terms of the arrangement or a renegotiated lease amount will cause a
reclassification of the sales-type lease to an operating lease. When the net investment in lease or
the financing receivable is impaired, the Company will recognize a valuation allowance for the
difference between the carrying value in the investment and the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate for the net investment in the lease or the
financing receivable. If the Company expects to recover the theater system, the provision is equal
to the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the fair value of the equipment. When
the minimum lease payments for a lease is renegotiated and the lease continues to be classified as
a sales-type lease, the reduction in payments is applied to reduce unearned finance income.
These provisions are adjusted when there is a significant change in the amount or timing of
the expected future cash flows or actual cash flows differ from cash flow previously expected.
Once a net investment in lease or financing receivable is considered impaired, the Company
does not recognize interest income until the collectibility issues are resolved. When finance
income is not recognized, any payments received are applied against outstanding gross minimum lease
amounts receivable or gross receivables from financed sales.
Inventory
In establishing the appropriate provisions for theater system and parts inventory, the Company
makes estimates of future events and conditions, including the anticipated installation dates for
the current backlog of theater system contracts, potential future signings, technology factors,
growth prospects within the customers ultimate marketplace and the market acceptance of the
Companys current and pending theater system configurations and film library. If the Companys
estimates of these events and conditions prove to be incorrect, it could result in inventory losses
in excess of the provisions determined to be adequate as at the balance sheet date.
The Company has, on occasion, reclaimed theater systems from customers who have not fulfilled
their contractual obligations. The valuation of returned theater systems is an area where
significant estimates are made by the Company. The Company considers the configuration of theater
systems returned and its current and anticipated future backlog in determining the fair value of
the returned theater systems. Returned systems from lease arrangements are valued in inventory at
the lower of original cost, carrying value of the net investment in lease or fair value. Returned
systems from sales arrangements are valued in inventory at the lower of original cost and fair
value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd)
Asset Impairments
The Company performs an impairment test on its goodwill on an annual basis, coincident with
the year-end, as well as in quarters where events or changes in circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill impairment is assessed at the reporting unit level by comparing the units carrying
value, including goodwill, to the fair value of the unit. Significant estimates are involved in the
impairment test. The carrying values of each unit are subject to allocations of certain assets and
liabilities that the Company has applied in a systematic and rationale manner. The fair value of
the Companys units is assessed using a discounted cash flow model. The model is constructed using
the Companys budget and long-range plan as a base. The Companys estimates of future cash flows
involve anticipating future revenue streams, which contain many assumptions that are subject to
variability, as well as estimates for future cash outlays, the amounts of which, and the timing of
which are both uncertain. Actual results that differ from the Companys budget and long-range plan
could result in a significantly different result to an impairment test, which could impact
earnings.
Long-lived asset impairment is performed at the lowest identifiable level of cash flows. For a
significant portion of long-lived assets, this is the reporting segment unit level used for
goodwill testing.
Pension Plan and Postretirement Benefit Obligations Assumptions
The Companys pension plan and postretirement benefit obligations and related costs are
calculated using actuarial concepts, within the framework of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension. A
critical assumption to this accounting is the discount rate. The Company evaluates this critical
assumption annually or when otherwise required to by accounting standards. Other assumptions
include factors such as expected retirement, mortality, rate of compensation increase, and
estimates of inflation.
The discount rate enables the Company to state expected future cash payments for benefits as a
present value on the measurement date. The guideline for setting this rate is a high-quality
long-term corporate bond rate. A lower discount rate increases the present value of benefit
obligations and increases pension expense. The Companys discount rate was determined by
considering the average of pension yield curves constructed of a large population of high-quality
corporate bonds. The resulting discount rate reflects the matching of plan liability cash flows to
the yield curves.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of $nil. The Companys
management assesses realization of its deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order
to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Available evidence considered by the Company includes, but is not limited to, the Companys
historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary
differences, contracted sales backlog at December 31, 2006, changing business circumstances, and
the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets through loss and tax credit carryback
strategies. At December 31, 2006, the Company has determined that based on the weight of the
available evidence, positive and negative, a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax
assets was required.
When there is a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the
realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company would adjust all or a portion of the
applicable valuation allowance in the period when such changes occur.
Tax Exposures
The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions.
Accordingly, the Company may incur additional tax expense based upon the outcomes of such matters.
In addition, when applicable, the Company adjusts tax expense to reflect both favorable and
unfavorable examination results. The Companys ongoing assessments of the probable outcomes of
examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can materially increase or decrease its
effective rate as well as impact operating results.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on
their fair values. In addition, SFAS 123R modifies certain measurement and expense recognition
provisions of SFAS 123, including the requirement to estimate employee forfeitures each period when
recognizing compensation expense and requiring that the initial and subsequent measurement of the
cost of liability-based awards each period be based on the fair value (instead of the intrinsic
value) of the award. This statement was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2006. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. As a
result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. For additional information related to SFAS 123R,
see notes 2(q) and 17(c) to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a
more likely than not recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also provided guidance on derecognition of a tax position, classification of a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, accounting or interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and
expanded income tax disclosures. FIN 48 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle to be recorded in the first quarter of 2007
upon adoption of FIN 48 is an increase to the tax liability of $2.1 million and a charge to opening
shareholders deficit.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for
interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
The FASB also issued in September 2006 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R) (SFAS 158). This Standard requires recognition of the
unfunded status of a defined benefit plan in the statement of financial position, recognition in
other comprehensive income certain actuarial gains and losses and past service costs that arise
during the period but are not recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and certain
additional disclosures. In addition, SFAS 158 requires all benefit obligations to be measured at
the Companys year-end date. The recognition and disclosure elements are effective as of the end of
the Companys 2006 year-end. and the measurement elements are effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2008. The Companys current measurement date for its defined benefit plans is
December 31. Adoption of SFAS 158 has resulted in a credit of $0.8 million net of income tax of
$0.3 million to accumulated other comprehensive income, which represents unrecognized prior service
credits of $1.7 million and net actuarial losses of $0.8 million at December 31, 2006 and a
decrease in the accrued liabilities of $0.9 related to the accrued benefit cost.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in
practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108
requires that registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach
and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant
quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 was implemented at the
end of the Companys fiscal 2006 reporting period. Due to the Companys restatement of prior period
financial statements which included booking of all prior period uncorrected errors, there was no
impact on adoption of SAB 108 on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows the irrevocable election of fair value as the
initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities and other
items on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value would be reflected in earnings as
they occur. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with
the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company recognized the following items in its 2006 discontinued operations.
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International, entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a payment of
$3.5 million. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, in income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement.
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The
Company completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater
in the first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company was estimated at
between $0.9 million and $2.3 million for which the Company accrued $0.9 million. Prior to 2006,
the Company paid out $0.8 million, with an additional $0.1 million paid in 2006. On January 5,
2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company paid out an
additional $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. This final payment of $0.8
million was accrued by the Company in 2006.

Asset Impairments
In 2006, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $1.0 million against fixed assets
after the Company assessed the carrying value of certain assets in light of their future expected
use. The Company recognized that the carrying values for the assets exceeded the expected
discounted future cash flows. In addition, during 2006 the Company revised its estimate on the
realizability of its residual values on certain of its sales-type leases and charged $0.1 million
to asset impairment. During 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of less
than $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In 2004, the value of certain camera assets were
assessed as impaired due to lower volume in 2D camera rentals. The Company recognized that the
future cash flows of these assets did not support their recoverability.
Other Significant Charges (Recoveries)
The Company recorded a net provision of $1.5 million in 2006 (2005 $0.2 million recovery,
2004 $0.1 million recovery) in accounts receivable as collectibility associated with certain
accounts was considered uncertain or settled.
In 2006, the Company recorded a charge of $1.3 million (2005 $nil, 2004 $nil) in costs of
goods, services and rentals, for inventories due to a reduced net realizable value.
In 2006, the Company also recorded a net recovery of previously provided amounts of $0.5
million in financing receivables (2005 $0.8 million, 2004 $1.4 million) as the collectibility
uncertainty associated with certain leases was resolved by amendment or settlement of the leases.

(contd)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2005
As identified in note 22 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item
8, the Company has six reportable segments identified by category of product sold or service
provided: IMAX systems; film production and IMAX DMR; film distribution; film post-production;
theater operations; and other. The IMAX systems segment designs, manufactures, sells or leases and
maintains IMAX theater projection system equipment. The film production and IMAX DMR segment
produces films and performs film re-mastering services. The film distribution segment distributes
films for which the Company has distribution rights. The film post-production segment provides film
post-production and film print services. The theater operations segment owns and operates certain
IMAX theaters. The other segment includes camera rentals and other miscellaneous items. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2 to the accompanying
audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8.
The Companys Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations have been organized and discussed with respect to the above stated segments. Management
feels that a discussion and analysis based on its segments is significantly more relevant as the
Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations captions combine results from several segments.
Revenues
The Companys revenues in 2006 were $129.5 million, compared to $135.4 million in 2005, a
decrease of 4.4% due in large part to a decrease in theater systems revenue that was partially
offset by an increase in films revenue (see below). The following table sets forth the breakdown of
revenue by category:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (contd)
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2005 (contd)
Revenues (contd)
IMAX systems revenue decreased to $72.2 million in 2006 from $88.8 million in 2005, a decrease
of 18.7%. Revenue from sales and sales-type leases decreased to $45.1 million in 2006 from $60.8
million in 2005, a decrease of 25.8%. This decrease was due almost entirely to a decrease in
settlement revenues of $14.0 million.
The Company recognized revenue on 30 theater systems which qualified as either sales or
sales-type leases in each of 2006 and 2005. There were 26 new theater systems with a value of $41.2
million recognized into revenue in 2006 compared to 21 new theater systems with a total value of
$36.4 million recognized in 2005. Four of the theater systems recognized in 2006 related to the
sale of used theater systems versus nine used theater systems in 2005. The aggregate sales value of
the used systems sold in 2006 totaled $2.8 million compared to $9.1 million for the used systems
sold in 2005.
Average revenue per sales and sales-type lease systems was consistent in 2006 and 2005 at $1.5
million. The change in mix of the theater system configurations is outlined in the table below.

Settlement revenue for 2006 was $0.3 million as compared to $14.3 million in 2005. Included in
settlement revenue are the following types of arrangements: $0.3 million related to a IMAX MPX
conversion agreement (2005 $0.6 million); $nil related to consensual buyouts for uninstalled
theater systems (2005 $11.7 million); $nil related to termination of agreements after customer
default (2005 $2.0 million). The Company anticipates that while IMAX MPX conversion agreements
may continue as IMAX MPX system configurations continue to prove popular with commercial customers,
overall revenue from consensual lease buyouts for uninstalled theater systems and terminations of
agreements by customer default will continue to remain significantly lower than in past years.
In addition, the Company installed and began recognizing revenue on one theater system that
qualified as an operating lease in 2006 versus five in 2005. The Company recognizes revenue on
operating leases over the term of the leases.
Ongoing rent revenue in 2006 decreased by 13.1% primarily due to the sale of two theater
systems which were previously treated as operating leases in 2005. These operating leases had
contributed $0.9 million to ongoing rent revenue in 2005. The decrease in ongoing rent revenue was
partially offset by revenues from new joint revenue sharing arrangements which increased from $0.7
million in 2005 to $1.1 million in 2006. The Company had the same five joint revenue sharing
arrangements in each of these years. Maintenance revenue in 2006 increased 5.5% over the prior year
due to an increase in the theater network. The Company expects to see an increase in 2007 compared
to 2006 in both ongoing rent and maintenance revenue as the Companys theater network continues to
grow in 2007.

(contd)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (contd)
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2005 (contd)
Revenues (contd)
Film revenues increased to $36.3 million in 2006 from $26.0 million in 2005. Film production
and IMAX DMR revenues increased by 63.1% in 2006 to $14.6 million from $8.9 million in 2005. The
increase in film production and IMAX DMR revenues is due primarily to the increase in IMAX DMR
revenues, which are revenues to the Company generated from the gross box-office performance and
conversion services performed on IMAX DMR films, as a result of higher overall gross box-office
performance and an increase in conversion services performed on films in 2006 compared to 2005
(seven IMAX DMR films released in 2006 as compared to four IMAX DMR films released in 2005). The
films primarily contributing to the increased IMAX DMR revenue include Superman Returns: The IMAX
3D Experience, released in June 2006, the November 2006 release of Happy Feet: The IMAX Experience
and the December 2006 release of Night at the Museum: The IMAX Experience. Films contributing to
the IMAX DMR revenue for 2005 included Robots: The IMAX Experience, released in March 2005, Batman
Begins: The IMAX Experience, released in June 2005, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The IMAX
Experience, released in July 2005, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience,
released in November 2005 and The Polar Express: The IMAX 3D Experience re-released in November
2005. Film post-production revenues increased to $6.7 million in 2006 from $5.2 million in 2005,
mainly due to an increase in third party business relating to Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D
Experience, at the Companys post-production unit. Film distribution revenues increased to $15.1
million in 2006 from $11.8 million in 2005, an increase of 27.8%, primarily due to the production
and release of Deep Sea 3D in March 2006 and the continued gross box-office performance of
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D, released in September 2005. These increases were
partially offset by a decrease in distribution revenue related to Space Station, released in April
2002 and Nascar 3D: The IMAX Experience, which was first released in March 2004.
Theater operations revenue decreased to $16.9 million in 2006 from $17.4 million in 2005 due
to a decrease in average ticket price of 1% and an overall attendance decrease of 2%.
Other revenue increased to $4.0 million in 2006 from $3.2 million in 2005, an increase of
23.4%, largely as a result of an increase in the Companys after market sales. Other revenue
primarily includes revenue generated from the Companys camera and rental business and after market
sales of projection system parts and 3D glasses.
Based on the Companys expectation of 2007 theater system installations and its estimate of
films to be released in 2007, the Company believes it will see higher revenues in 2007.
Outlook
Theater system installations slip from period to period in the course of the Companys
business, and the Company has seen a significant number of theater system installations originally
anticipated for the third and fourth quarters of 2006 move to anticipated installations for 2007
and beyond. The Company currently has 22 complete theater systems in its backlog as at December 31,
2006 that it anticipates will be installed and accepted in 2007, however it cautions that slippages
remain a recurring and unpredictable part of its business, and such slippages and delays could
impact the timing of revenue recognition (see note 2(n) to the accompanying audited consolidated
financial statements in Item 8).
The Company has signed agreements with Sony Pictures and WB respectively, for the release of
IMAX DMR versions of Spider Man 3: The IMAX Experience which was released in May of 2007, 300: The
IMAX Experience which was released in March 2007 and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: An
IMAX 3D Experience which was released in July of 2007. In November 2007, the Company in conjunction
with Paramount Pictures, Shangri-La Entertainment and WB will release Beowulf: An IMAX 3D
Experience. The Company also has an agreement with WB to release The Dark Knight: The IMAX
Experience, the next installment of WBs Batman franchise, in July 2008. In conjunction with WB,
the Company has also commenced production on a sequel to Deep Sea 3D, scheduled for release in
2009.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(contd)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (contd)
Year Ended December 31, 2006 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2005 (contd)
Outlook (contd)
The Company supplements its sale and lease of theater systems by offering clients joint
revenue sharing arrangements, whereby the Company contributes its theater systems, accounted for at
its manufactured cost for manufactured components and at the Companys cost for purchased
components. Under some arrangements, the client contributes its retrofitted auditorium and there is
a negotiated split of box-office and concession revenues. The Company believes that, by offering
such arrangements where exhibitors do not need to pay the initial capital required in a lease or a
sale, the Companys theater network can be expanded more rapidly, and provide the Company with a
significant portion of the IMAX box-office from its theaters, as well as greater revenue from the
studios releasing IMAX DMR films, for which the Company typically receives a percentage of the
studios box-office receipts.
The Company believes that digital technology has evolved sufficiently that it can develop an
IMAX digital projection system that delivers high quality imagery consistent with the Companys
brand to deliver to theaters by early 2009. The Company believes that the dramatic print cost
savings that would result from an IMAX digital system could lead to more profitability for the
Company by increasing the number of films released to the IMAX network, which in turn could result
in more theaters in the Companys network, more profits per theater and more profits for studios
amortizing their films over the network. There are a number of risks inherent in the Companys
digital strategy including the risk of exhibitors delaying theater system purchases during the
Companys transition period to digital, and the need to finance the Companys investments necessary
for implementing this strategy. In addition, the Companys theater system contracts are
increasingly including provisions providing for customer upgrades to digital systems, when
available. The accounting impact of such provisions may include the deferral of some or all of the
revenue (though not the cash) associated with such system until the time of such digital upgrade.
Such deferral could result in a significant increase in the Companys deferred revenue accounts and
a significant decrease in the Companys reported profits prior to the delivery of the digital
upgrade. No arrangements with such revisions were recognized as revenue as at December 31, 2006.
The Companys goal is to create a digital product that provides a differentiated experience to
moviegoers that is consistent with what they have come to expect from the IMAX brand. The Company
believes that transitioning from a film-based platform to a digital platform for a large portion of
its customer base is compelling for a number of reasons. The savings to the studios as a result of
eliminating film prints are considerable, as the typical cost of an IMAX film print ranges from
$22.5 thousand per 2D print to $45 thousand per 3D print. Removing those costs will significantly
increase the profit of an IMAX release for a studio which, the Company believes, provides more
incentive for studios to release their films to IMAX theaters. The Company similarly believes that
economics change favorably for its exhibition clients as a result of a digital transition, since
lower print costs and the increased programming flexibility that digital delivery provides should
allow theaters to program three to four additional IMAX DMR films per year, thereby increasing both
customer choice and total box-office revenue. Finally, digital transmission allows for the
opportunity to show attractive alternate programming, such as live events like the Super Bowl or
World Cup, in the immersive environment of an IMAX theater.
Gross Margin
The gross margin across all segments in 2006 was $52.6 million, or 40.6% of total revenue,
compared to $63.4 million, or 46.8% of total revenue in 2005. The decrease in gross margin for 2006
is almost entirely due to a decrease in settlement arrangements. Excluding the impact of settlement
arrangements, the gross margin for 2006 was 40.4% compared to 40.5% in 2005.
IMAX theater systems margin, excluding the impact of settlements, was 55.5% in 2006 which was
consistent with the 54.9% experienced in 2005. Gross margins on the sale of used systems in 2006
was 92.8% of revenues compared to 64.2% for used systems sold in 2005. Gross margins on the sale of
new systems in 2006 were 52.4% of revenues compared to 52.7% for new systems sold in 2005.
The Companys gross margin from its total film segment was $10.2 million, or 28.1% of total
Film revenue, compared to $6.0 million, or 23.1% of total Film revenue in 2005. Film distribution
margin increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to higher margins earned on the mix of films in
release during the year. Film production and IMAX DMR gross margin increased by $1.8 million, due
primarily to the higher overall gross box-office performance and conversion services performed on
Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D Experience. Post-production gross margin increased by $1.1 million,
also primarily due to the level of third party business resulting from Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D
Experience.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2005 (contd)
Gross Margin (contd)
The Companys owned and operated theater gross margin increased by $0.5 million in 2006
compared to 2005 as a result of lower rental fees paid to third parties for film, partially offset
by the impact of lower gross revenues.
The gross margin on other revenue decreased by $0.6 million in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily
as a result of the Companys decision to sell some of its after market components and upgrades at
reduced margins in anticipation of a number of theaters showing Superman Returns: An IMAX 3D
Experience. This gross margin decrease was slightly offset by the impact of an increase in gross
revenue for the category.
The Company anticipates higher gross margins in 2007 in comparison to 2006, due to a strong
film slate of DMR films released in late 2006 and 2007 and due to higher theater system
installations, as commercial exhibitors continue to install new theater systems in their
multiplexes.
Other
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $42.5 million in 2006 versus $37.5 million
in 2005. The $5.0 million increase included (i) expenses of $1.1 million in connection with the
Companys unsuccessful process of seeking strategic alternatives, (ii) an increase in legal and
professional fees of $3.3 million associated primarily with SFAS 123R implementation costs, costs
to amend the Companys Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the SERP), expenses incurred to
respond to inquiries made by the SEC and OSC and costs related to the restatement of the Companys
prior period consolidated financial statements and (iii) $1.1 million in expenses in 2006 for stock
options granted in accordance with the adoption of SFAS 123R. Compensation expenses increased by
$2.1 million during 2006 due to a higher Canadian dollar denominated salary expense on the
strengthening of the Canadian dollar compared to the prior year, and also due to increased
severance costs and employee bonus accruals. The Company also recorded a capital tax expense of
$0.4 million in 2006 compared to a $0.4 million recovery in 2005 due to refunds received in 2005
and releases of related tax reserves. Offsetting these increases, the Company amended its SERP on
March 8, 2006 to reduce certain benefits, resulting in savings of $3.1 million in compensation
expense for 2006 compared to 2005. In addition, other non-cash stock-based compensation decreased
by $0.3 million during 2006, due to a reduction in the Companys share price. The Company recorded
a foreign exchange gain of $0.2 million in 2006, compared to a loss of $0.7 million in 2005. The
Company records foreign exchange translation gains and losses primarily on a portion of its
financing receivable balances which are denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and Japanese Yen.
Receivable provisions net of recoveries for accounts receivable and financing receivables
amounted to a net provision of $1.1 million in 2006 compared to a net recovery of $1.0 million in
2005. The Company recorded a net provision of $1.4 million (2005 $0.1 million provision) in
accounts receivable as collectibility associated with certain accounts was considered uncertain.
The Company recorded a net recovery of $0.3 million (2005 $1.2 million) in financing receivables
as the collectibility uncertainty associated with certain leases was resolved by amendment or
settlement of the leases.
In 2006, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.1 million in 2006 versus less
than $0.1 million in 2005 related to the impairment of assets of certain theater operations and
property, plant and equipment and a revision in the estimates related to the residual values of
certain leased assets.
Interest income remained consistent at $1.0 million in 2006 and 2005.
Interest expense decreased slightly to $16.8 million in 2006 from $16.9 million in 2005.
Included in interest expense is the amortization of deferred finance costs in the amount of $1.1
million in 2006 and $1.2 million in 2005. The Companys policy is to defer and amortize all the
costs relating to a debt financing over the life of the debt instrument.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and will vary from year
to year primarily as a result of numerous permanent differences, investment and other tax credits,
the provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions,
enacted statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the year, changes in the Companys valuation
allowance based on the Companys recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets, and favorable
or unfavorable resolution of various tax examinations. The 2006 income tax provision of $6.2
million includes a net $7.7 million increase in the valuation allowance (taking into account a $6.2
million impairment of deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter) against deferred tax assets to
reflect revised estimates regarding the realization of the Companys deferred income tax assets
based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had
a gross deferred income tax asset of $54.6 million, against which the Company is carrying a $54.6
million valuation allowance.

Research and Development
Research and development expenses amounted to $3.6 million in 2006 compared to $3.2 million in
2005. The expenses primarily reflect research and development activities pertaining to a
development of the Companys new digitally-based theater projector. Through research and
development, the Company continues to design and develop cinema-based equipment, software and other
technologies to enhance its product offering. The Company believes that the motion picture industry
will be affected by the development of digital technologies, particularly in the areas of content
creation (image capture), post-production (editing and special effects), distribution and display.
Consequently, the Company has made significant investments in digital technologies, including the
development of proprietary, patent-pending technology related to a digital projector, as well as
technologies to digitally enhance image resolution and quality of motion picture films, and convert
monoscopic (2D) to stereoscopic (3D) images. The Company also holds a number of patents, patents
pending and intellectual property rights in these areas. In addition, the Company holds numerous
digital patents and long-term relationships with key manufacturers and suppliers in digital
technology. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be awarded patents covering
its technology or that competitors will not develop similar technologies.
In recent years, a number of companies have introduced digital 3D projection technology and a
small number of Hollywood features have been exhibited in 3D using these technologies. The Company
believes that its many competitive strengths, including the IMAX® brand name, the quality and
immersiveness of The IMAX Experience, its IMAX DMR technology and its patented theater geometry,
significantly differentiate the Companys 3D presentations from any other 3D presentations.
Discontinued Operations
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International, entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a payment of
$3.5 million. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, in income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement.
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The
Company completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater
in the first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company was estimated at
between $0.9 million and $2.3 million for which the Company accrued $0.9 million. Prior to 2006,
the Company paid out $0.8 million, with an additional $0.1 million paid in 2006. On January 5,
2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company paid out an
additional $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. This final payment of $0.8
million was accrued by the Company in 2006.
Pension Plan Amendment
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the unfunded U.S.
defined benefit pension plan, the SERP, covering its two Co-CEOs effective January 1, 2006 which
reduced the related pension expense to the Company. Under the original terms of the SERP, once
benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually to the cost of living and further provides
for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse. The Company was represented by the
independent directors (as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and Section
1.4 of Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (Independent Directors)), who retained Mercer Human
Resources Consulting (Mercer) and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses
regarding the SERP. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce the ongoing costs to the
Company, the cost of living adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs
are each reduced by 50%, subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of
control of the Company, and the net present value of the reduced benefit payments is accelerated
and paid out upon a change of control of the Company. The amendment resulted in a credit to
accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.8 million, a reduction of other assets of $3.4
million, and a reduction in the accrued pension liability of $6.2 million. The benefits were 50%
vested as of July 2000, the SERP initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a
straight-line basis from inception until age 55. The vesting percentage of a member whose
employment terminates other than by voluntary retirement or upon change of control shall be 100%.
As of December 31, 2006, one of the Co-CEOs benefits were 100% vested and the other Co-CEOs
benefits were approximately 82% vested.
A Co-CEO whose employment terminates other than for cause prior to August 1, 2010 will receive
benefits in the form of monthly annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or August
1, 2010 at which time the Co-CEO shall receive remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum
payment. A Co-CEO who retires on or after August 1, 2010 shall receive benefits in the form of a
lump sum payment.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and
directors for employee stock options based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (SAB 107), relating to SFAS 123R. The
Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. In accordance with the modified
prospective transition method, the Companys consolidated financial statements for prior periods
have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based
compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for 2006 was $1.1 million.
SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the
date of grant using fair value measurement techniques such as an option-pricing model. The value of
the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods in the Companys consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors
using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under SFAS 123. Under the
intrinsic value method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the Companys
consolidated statement of operations if the exercise prices of the Companys stock options granted
to employees and directors were less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date
of grant, or terms of options were modified, or for awards that were accounted for as liabilities,
based on changes in the intrinsic value of the award.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys Consolidated Statement of
Operations for 2006 includes compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to,
but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the stock-based payment
awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the
Company changed its method of attributing the value of stock-based compensation to expense from a
method which recognized the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term for non-graded
vesting options, or in proportion to the amount of graded options that vested in a period to the
straight-line single option method. Compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards granted
on or prior to January 1, 2006 will continue to be recognized using the historic method while
compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is
recognized using the straight-line single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense
recognized in the consolidated statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to
vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated
at the time of grant and revised, if subsequent information indicates that the actual forfeitures
are likely to be different from previous estimates. In the Companys pro forma information required
under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company also estimated forfeitures at the time of
grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods.
The Company utilizes a lattice-binomial option-pricing model (Binomial Model) to determine
the fair value of stock-based payment awards. The fair value determined by the Binomial Model is
affected by the Companys stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex
and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Companys expected
stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option
exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded
options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the
Companys employee stock options have certain characteristics that are significantly different from
traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the
estimated value, in managements opinion, the Binomial Model best provides an accurate measure of
the fair value of the Companys employee stock options. Although the fair value of employee stock
options is determined in accordance with SFAS 123R and SAB 107 using an option-pricing model, that
value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market
transaction.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation (contd)
The Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2006 that it exceeded, by approximately 1.6%,
certain cap limits for grants set by the Companys stock option plan, and that in 2006, 547,786
options (2005 241,500) were granted in excess of such caps, with a weighted average exercise
price of $10.39 (2005 $9.59). Of these options, during 2006, 37,000 options with a weighted
average exercise price of $9.89 were forfeited (2005 nil) and 3,000 with a weighted average
exercise price of $9.59 were cancelled for no consideration (2005 nil). The number of these
options outstanding as at December 31, 2006 was 749,286 (2005 241,500) with a weighted average
exercise price of $10.69 (2005 $9.59). The number of these options exercisable as at December 31,
2006 was 63,792 (2005 nil) with a weighted average exercise price of $9.89 (2005 nil). As the
Company intended to settle the obligations for a significant number of these options in cash, these
options have been treated as liability-based awards based on fair values as at December 31, 2006.
20,750 of such options were forfeited in May 2007, 195,286 of such options were voluntarily
surrendered by the Co-CEOs and members of the Board of Directors for no consideration in June 2007;
and 533,250 of such options were settled for cash in June 2007 in an amount of $0.5 million.
Compensation cost recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options
cancelled.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2004
Revenues
The Companys revenues in 2005 were $135.4 million, compared to $132.6 million in 2004, an
increase of 2.2% due primarily to an increase in systems revenue partially offset by a decrease in
films and other revenue.
The IMAX theater Systems segment revenue increased to $88.8 million in 2005 from $83.5 million
in 2004, an increase of 6.3%. Revenue from sales and sales-type leases increased to $60.8 million
in 2005 from $57.5 million in 2004, an increase of 5.7%. This increase was due primarily to an
increase in systems revenue partially offset by a decrease in settlement revenues and lower average
revenue per theater system.
The Company recognized revenue on 30 theater systems which qualified as either sales or
sales-type leases in 2005 versus 20 theater systems in 2004. There were 21 new theater systems with
a value of $36.4 million recognized into revenue in 2005 compared to 19 theater systems with a
total value of $36.9 million recognized in 2004. Nine of the theater systems recognized in 2005
related to the sale of used theater systems versus one used theater system in 2004. More
specifically, for additional cash consideration, two customers converted their operating leases
into an outright purchase resulting in the sale of seven used theater systems. In addition, the
Company sold two used theater systems to new owner/operators, upon termination of operating leases
with the original lessees in 2005, versus nil in 2004. As these transactions represent the sale of
used theater systems that were several years old, their average value is substantially lower than
that of comparable new theater systems. The aggregate sales value of the used systems sold in 2005
totaled $9.1 million compared to $1.2 million for the used system sold in 2004.
Average revenue per sales and sales-type system configurations decreased from $1.9 million in
2004 to $1.5 million in 2005 due to a greater number of used theater systems sold in 2005 and due
to a change in mix of the theater system configurations outlined in the table below.

In 2005, the Company recognized $14.3 million in settlement revenue compared to $18.4 million
in 2004. In addition, since the introduction of its IMAX MPX system configuration in 2003, the
Company has agreed with several customers to terminate their existing agreements which were in the
Companys backlog and sign new IMAX MPX system configuration agreements. The settlement amounts are
detailed as follows: $0.6 million in 2005 related to IMAX MPX conversion agreements compared to
$5.2 million in 2004; $11.7 million in 2005 related to consensual buyouts for uninstalled theater
systems compared to $12.4 million in 2004; and $2.0 million in 2005 related to termination of
agreements after customer default compared to $0.8 million in 2004.

Revenues (contd)
In addition, five theater systems installations were recognized as joint revenue sharing
arrangements in 2005 and commenced generating rental income versus one in 2004. The Company
recognizes revenue on joint revenue sharing arrangements over the term of the arrangements.
Ongoing rent revenue in 2005 increased 14.1% due to the increase in operating leases installed
in 2005 compared to 2004 as indicated above. Maintenance revenue also increased 2.7% as the
Companys theater network continued to grow in 2005.
Film segment revenues decreased to $26.0 million in 2005 from $27.7 million in 2004. Film
production and IMAX DMR revenues, which are revenues to the Company generated from the gross
box-office performance of IMAX DMR films, increased to $8.9 million in 2005 from $7.7 million in
2004. The increase in film production and IMAX DMR revenues was due to the successful launch and
performance of four new IMAX DMR films in 2005 versus three new IMAX DMR films in 2004. The 2005
IMAX DMR films included the March 2005 release of Robots: The IMAX Experience, the June 2005
release of Batman Begins: The IMAX Experience, the July 2005 release of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory: The IMAX Experience, and the November 2005 release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
The IMAX Experience. The increase in film production and IMAX DMR revenues was partially offset by
a decrease in film distribution revenues and film post-production revenues. Film distribution
revenues are revenues related to the release of films in the IMAX 15/70-format library or new
15/70-format productions to which the Company has distribution rights. Film distribution revenues
decreased to $11.8 million in 2005 from $13.4 million in 2004, a decrease of 11.7%, primarily due
to the timing of new film releases. The 2004 film NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience was released
during the early portion of the year (March 2004), whereas the 2005 film Magnificent Desolation:
Walking on the Moon 3D was released in the late part of the year (September 2005). Post-production
revenues decreased to $5.2 million in 2005 from $6.6 million in 2004, a decrease of 21.3% mainly
due to a decrease in third party business at the Companys post-production unit.
Theater operations revenue decreased slightly to $17.4 million in 2005 from $17.5 million in
2004 due to an overall attendance decrease of 6.2% and lower sponsorship revenues partially offset
by an increase in average ticket prices of 7.1%.
Other revenue decreased to $3.2 million in 2005 from $3.9 million in 2004, a decrease of
16.7%, largely as a result of a decrease in after market sales.
Gross Margin
The gross margin across all segments in 2005 was $63.4 million, or 46.8% of total revenue,
compared to $63.9 million, or 48.2% of total revenue in 2004. The decrease in gross margins for
2005 is primarily due to a decrease in settlement arrangements. Excluding the impact of settlement
arrangements, the gross margin in 2005 was 40.5% compared to 39.9% in 2004.
IMAX systems margin, excluding the impact of settlements, was 54.9% in 2005 compared to 60.5%
in 2004 due to a change in mix of the theater system configurations. Gross margins on the sale of
used systems in 2005 were 64.2% of revenues compared to 48.4% for the one used system sold in 2004.
Gross margins on the sale of new systems in 2005 were 52.7% of revenues compared to 62.2% for new
systems sold in 2004.
The Companys gross margin from its total film segment was $6.0 million in 2005, or 23.1% of
total Film revenue, compared to $4.6 million, or 16.7% of total Film revenue in 2004. The Companys
film production and IMAX DMR gross margin increased by $1.8 million primarily due to the strong
box-office results from the 2005 release of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory: The IMAX Experience
and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The IMAX Experience, along with the continued strong
performance of The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D Experience, which was re-released in 2005. The
Companys film distribution gross margin decreased by $1.0 million primarily due to marketing
expenses related to Deep Sea 3D and offset by the release of Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the
Moon 3D in September 2005, and due to the continued success of Nascar 3D: The IMAX Experience.
Post-production gross margin increased by $0.5 million in 2005 compared to 2004 mainly due to
higher margins from consulting services and increased supplier volume rebates.
The Companys owned and operated theater gross margin decreased by $0.7 million in 2005 in
comparison to 2004 as a result of higher rental fees paid to third parties for film.
The gross margin on other revenue increased significantly in 2005 primarily due to the
increased revenues related to the rental of 2D and 3D cameras, and a write down of camera assets in
2004. As a result, there was a minimal amount of camera assets to depreciate in 2005.

Other
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $37.5 million in the 2005 versus $36.4
million in 2004. Legal fees for 2005 increased by $2.4 million as the Company incurred legal costs
related to patent infringement matters and settled certain litigation matters. Other professional
fees decreased by $0.8 million in 2005 due to lower costs incurred during the year to comply with
Sarbanes-Oxley regulations in comparison to 2004 the year of adoption. Non-cash stock-based
compensation decreased by $0.2 million in 2005 due to changes in the Company share price. The
Company recorded a net capital tax recovery of $0.4 million in 2005 due to refunds received in the
year and releases of related tax reserve and expensed $0.7 million for capital taxes paid in 2004.
The Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million in 2005 compared to a gain of $0.4
million in 2004 primarily due to the impact of a stronger U.S dollar on Euro receivable balances.
The Company records foreign exchange translation gains and losses primarily on a portion of its
financing receivable balances which are denominated in Canadian dollars, Euros and Japanese Yen.
Amortization of intangibles increased to $0.9 million in 2005 from $0.7 million in 2004.
Receivable provisions net of recoveries for accounts receivable and financing receivables
amounted to a net recovery of $1.0 million in 2005, compared to a net recovery of $1.5 million in
2004, due to favorable outcomes on lease amendments for both periods.
The Company recorded an asset impairment charge of less than $0.1 million in 2005. The Company
took in asset impairment charge of $0.8 million in 2004 after the Company reduced the carrying
value of certain of its camera assets in 2004 due to lower volume in 2D camera rentals. The Company
assessed that the future cash flows of these assets did not support their recoverability.
Interest income increased to $1.0 million in 2005 from $0.8 million in 2004 primarily due to
higher average cash and short-term investment balances along with higher yields throughout 2005
compared to 2004.
Interest expense decreased to $16.9 million in 2005 from $17.1 million in 2004. Included in
interest expense is the amortization of deferred finance costs in the amount of $1.2 million in
2005 and 2004. The Companys policy is to defer and amortize all the costs relating to a debt
financing over the life of the debt instrument.
In 2004, the Company recorded a gain of $0.3 million from the sale of its equity investment in
MFE. The Company did not have any interests in long-term investments in 2005.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and will vary from year
to year primarily as a result of numerous permanent differences, investment and other tax credits,
the provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions,
enacted statutory tax rate increases or reductions in the year, changes in the Companys valuation
allowance based on the Companys recoverability assessments of deferred tax assets, and favorable
or unfavorable resolution of various tax examinations. The 2005 income tax provision of $1.1
million includes a net $0.5 million decrease in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets
to reflect revised estimates at the time regarding the realization of the Companys deferred income
tax assets based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence. The Company also favorably
resolved certain tax audits in the year resulting in tax recoveries of $0.2 million and the release
of related tax reserves of $0.2 million to the income tax provision. In addition, the Company
concluded an examination by the provincial authorities for the 1999 and 2000 taxation years. The
audit resulted in a net cash tax recovery of $0.3 million in the year. The recovery was recorded in
two parts. An amount of $0.4 million has been charged through the current income tax provision
offset by a recovery of provincial capital taxes in the amount of $0.7 million through selling,
general and administrative expenses in the year and the release of related capital tax reserves of
$0.3 million. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a gross deferred income tax asset of $52.4
million, against which the Company is carrying a $46.3 million valuation allowance.
Loss on Retirement of Notes
During 2004, the Company recorded a loss of $0.8 million related to costs associated with the
redemption of $29.2 million of the Companys 7.875% Senior Notes due 2005 (the Old Senior Notes).
This transaction had the effect of fully extinguishing the Old Senior Notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (contd)
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Versus Year Ended December 31, 2004 (contd)
Discontinued Operations
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International, entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a payment of
$3.5 million. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, in income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement.
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The
Company completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater
in the first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company was estimated at
between $0.9 million and $2.3 million for which the Company accrued $0.9 million. Prior to 2006,
the Company paid out $0.8 million, with an additional $0.1 million paid in 2006. On January 5,
2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company paid out an
additional $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. This final payment of $0.8
million was accrued by the Company in 2006.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $3.2 million in 2005 versus $4.0 million in 2004. The
lower level of expenses in 2005 primarily reflects lower research and development expenses
pertaining to the Companys IMAX MPX theater projection system, which is now complete. Through
research and development, the Company continues to design and develop cinema-based equipment,
software and other technologies to enhance its product offering, including the continued
enhancement of a method of generating stereoscopic (3D) imaging data from a monoscopic (2D) source.
The Company believes that the motion picture industry will be affected by the development of
digital technologies, particularly in the areas of content creation (image capture),
post-production (editing and special effects), digital re-mastering, distribution and display.
Consequently, the Company has made significant investments in digital technologies, including the
development of a proprietary, patent-pending technology to digitally enhance image resolution and
quality of motion picture films, the conversion of monoscopic (2D) to stereoscopic (3D) images and
the development of an IMAX digital projector, and holds a number of patents, patents pending and
intellectual property rights in these areas. In addition, the Company holds numerous digital
patents and long-term relationships with key manufacturers and suppliers in digital technology.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be awarded patents covering its technology
or that competitors will not develop similar technologies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Credit Facility
Under the indenture governing the Companys 9.625% Senior Notes due December 1, 2010 (the Senior
Notes) (the Indenture), the Company is permitted to incur indebtedness pursuant to a credit
agreement, or the refinancing or replacement of a credit facility, provided that the aggregate
principal amount of indebtedness thereunder outstanding at any time does not exceed the greater of
a) $30,000,000 minus the amount of any such indebtedness retired with the proceeds of an Asset Sale
and (b) 15% of Total Assets of the Company, as defined in the Indenture. The Indenture also permits
the Company to incur indebtedness solely in respect of performance, surety or appeal bonds, letters
of credit and letters of guarantee as required in the ordinary course of business in accordance
with customary industry practices. On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement
for a secured revolving credit facility as amended on June 30, 2005 and as further amended by the
Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement which was entered into with effect from May 16, 2006 (the
Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility expiring on October 31, 2009
with an optional one year renewal thereafter contingent upon approval by the lender, permitting
maximum aggregate borrowings equal to the lesser of (i) $40.0 million, (ii) a collateral
calculation based on percentages of the book values for the Companys net investment in sales-type
leases, financing receivables, finished goods inventory allocated to backlog contracts and the
appraised values of the expected future cash flows related to operating leases and of the Companys
owned real property, reduced by certain accruals and accounts payable and (iii) a minimum level of
trailing cash collections in the preceding twentysix week period ($49.9 million as of December 31,
2006), reduced for outstanding letters of credit. As at December 31, 2006, the Companys current
borrowing capacity under such calculation is $28.7 million after deduction for outstanding letters
of credit of $9.4 million. The Credit Facility bears interest at the applicable prime rate per
annum or LIBOR plus a margin as specified therein per annum and is collateralized by a first
priority security interest in all of the current and future assets of the Company. The Credit
Facility contains typical affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the
Companys ability to: incur certain additional indebtedness; make certain loans, investments or
guarantees; pay dividends; make certain asset sales; incur certain liens or other encumbrances;
conduct certain transactions with affiliates and enter into certain corporate transactions. In
addition, the Credit Facility agreement contains customary events of default, including upon an
acquisition or a change of control that may have a material adverse effect on the Company or a
guarantor. The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain, over a period of time, a
minimum level of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization including
film asset amortization, stock and other non-cash compensation, write downs (recoveries), and asset
impairment charges, and other non-cash uses of funds on a trailing four quarter basis calculated
quarterly, of not less than $20.0 million. In the event that the Companys available borrowing base
falls below the amount borrowed against the Credit Facility, the excess above the available
borrowing base becomes due upon demand by the lender. If the Credit Facility were to be terminated
by either the Company or the lender, the Company would have the ability to pursue another source of
financing pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The failure to comply with this particular adjusted EBITDA covenant for a single quarter will
result in a cash dominion event. Failure to comply for two or more successive quarters result in an
event of default.
The Company is in compliance with its adjusted EBITDA covenant for December 31, 2006. The

See note 21 to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8. |
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has to comply with several reporting
requirements including the delivery of audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of
the end of the fiscal year.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for
periods during the fiscal years 2002 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender waived
the requirement for the Company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within 120
days of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents
are delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that
an event of default would not be deemed to have occurred unless the Companys 2006 Form 10-K filing
did not occur by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under
the Companys Indenture governing its Senior Notes which goes uncured within the applicable grace
period. The Company cured such default under the Indenture by filing its Original 2006 Form 10-K
and first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q on July 20, 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As at December 31, 2006, the Companys principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash
equivalents of $25.1 million, short-term investments of $2.1 million, the Credit Facility, trade
accounts receivable of $26.0 million and anticipated collection from financing receivables due in
the next 12 months of $11.8 million. As at December 31, 2006, the Company has not drawn down on the
Credit Facility, and has letters of credit for $9.4 million outstanding secured by the Credit
Facility arrangement.
The Company believes that cash flow from operations together with existing cash and borrowing
available under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund the Companys business operations,
including its strategic initiatives relating to joint revenue sharing arrangements and to fund the
development of its digitally-based projection system. The Company similarly believes it will be
able to continue to meet customer commitments for at least the 12 month period commencing December
31, 2006. However, the Companys operating cash flow will be adversely impacted if managements
projections of future signings and installations are not realized. The Company forecasts its
short-term liquidity requirements on a quarterly and annual basis. Since the Companys future cash
flows are based on estimates and there may be factors that are outside of the Companys control
(see Risk Factors in Item 1A.), there is no guarantee the Company will continue to be able to
fund its operations through cash flows from operations. Under the terms of the Companys typical
theater system lease agreement, the Company receives substantial cash payments before the Company
completes the performance of its obligations. Similarly, the Company receives cash payments for
some of its film productions in advance of related cash expenditures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (contd)
Cash and Cash Equivalents (contd)
The Companys net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is impacted by a number of
factors, including the proceeds associated with new signings of theater system lease and sale
agreements in the year, costs associated with contributing systems under joint revenue sharing
arrangements, the box-office performance of films distributed by the Company and/or exhibited in
the Companys theaters, increases or decreases in the Companys operating expenses, including
research and development, and the level of cash collections received from its customers.
Cash used in operating activities amounted to $5.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2006. Changes in other non-cash operating assets as compared to December 31, 2005 include: an
increase of $2.5 million in financing receivables; a $8.6 million increase in accounts receivable
principally relating to recoupments payable by the studios related to the Companys percentage
interests in gross box-office; a decrease of $0.1 million in inventories; and a $0.2 million
decrease in prepaid expenses, which mostly relates to prepaid film print costs which will be
expensed over the period to be benefited. Changes in other non-cash operating liabilities as
compared to December 31, 2005 include: a decrease in deferred revenue of $3.1 million related to
current year signings and backlog payments thereon, less amounts relieved from deferred revenue
related to theater system installations in the year; an increase in accounts payable of $4.0
million due mainly to amounts owing to the Companys film print supplier relating to the volume of
prints ordered and delivered for Open Season: An IMAX 3D Experience and Night at the Museum: The
IMAX Experience, and an increase of $3.5 million in accrued liabilities. Included in accrued
liabilities at December 31, 2006, were less than $0.1 million in film finance proceeds which are
required to be spent on a specific film project and an amount of $26.1 million in respect of
accrued pension obligations which are mainly long-term in nature.
Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $6.5 million in 2006, which includes
purchases of short-term investments of $20.9 million, proceeds from maturities of short-term
investments of $27.3 million, purchases of $2.0 million in property, plant and equipment, an
increase in other assets of $0.9 million relating to the increase in the cash surrender value of
life insurance policies and commissions related to backlog contracts, an increase of other
intangible assets of $0.4 million and proceeds from settlement of a note receivable of $3.5 million
from discontinued operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 amounted to $0.3 million due to the issuance
of common shares through the exercise of stock options.
Capital expenditures including the purchase of property, plant and equipment and investments
in film assets were $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1.8 million in the year ended December
31, 2005. Changes in other non-cash operating assets and liabilities included a decrease in
deferred revenue of $2.0 million, a decrease in accrued liabilities of $7.8 million, a $0.5 million
increase in financing receivables, an increase of $2.7 million in accounts receivable and increase
in inventory of $1.8 million. Net cash used by investing activities in the year ended December 31,
2005 amounted to $9.9 million, primarily consisting of $31.3 million invested in short-term
investments and $23.5 million received from proceeds from maturities of short-term investments and
the Company also received $0.8 million in cash on a note receivable from a discontinued operation.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 includes $3.6 million received from the issuance
of common shares through the exercise of stock options. Capital expenditures including the purchase
of property, plant and equipment net of sales proceeds and investments in film assets were $9.3
million in the year ended December 31, 2005.
Letters of Credit and Other Commitments
As at December 31, 2006, the Company has letters of credit of $9.4 million outstanding, of
which the entire balance has been secured by the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company has
performance guarantees outstanding of $0.6 million that have been guaranteed through Export
Development Canada. The Company is also required to expend $0.1 million included in accrued
liabilities towards the distribution of a motion picture title.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (contd)
Senior Notes due 2010
In December 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $160.0 million principal of
9.625% Senior Notes due December 1, 2010 (the Unregistered Senior Notes) to a group of initial
purchasers. In November 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer wherein $159.0 million of the
Companys Unregistered Senior Notes were exchanged for Senior Notes registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Registered Senior Notes). Apart from the fact that the Registered
Senior Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, the Unregistered Senior Notes and the
Registered Senior Notes are substantially identical and are referred to herein as the Senior
Notes.
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.625% per annum and are unsecured obligations
that rank equally with any of the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to
all of the Companys existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by certain of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to
redemption for cash by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 1, 2007,
at redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount for each 12-month period
commencing December 1 of the years indicated: 2007 104.813%; 2008 102.406%; 2009 and thereafter
- 100.000%, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. If certain
changes were to result in the imposition of withholding taxes under Canadian law, the Senior Notes
are subject to redemption at the Companys option, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price
of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In the event of a change in control, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase
the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. In addition, prior to December 1, 2006, under certain
conditions, the Company could have redeemed up to 35% of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of
certain equity offerings at 109.625% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes impose certain restrictions on its operating and
financing activities, including certain restrictions on the Companys ability to: incur certain
additional indebtedness; make certain distributions or certain other restricted payments; grant
liens; create certain dividend and other payment restrictions affecting the Companys subsidiaries;
sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies; and enter into certain transactions with
affiliates. The Company believes these restrictions will not have a material impact on its
financial condition or results of operations.
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding $159.0 million aggregate principal of
Registered Senior Notes and $1.0 million aggregate principal of Unregistered Senior Notes.
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes require that annual and quarterly financial statements
are filed with the Trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines. If these
financial reporting covenants are breached then this is considered an event of default under the
terms of the Senior Notes and the Company has 30 days to cure this default, after which the Senior
Notes become due and payable.
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 beyond the required public company filing deadline due to the discovery of
certain accounting errors, broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting
matters based on comments received by the Company from the SEC and OSC, and ultimately restated
financial statements for certain periods during those years. The filing delay resulted in the
Company being in default of a financial reporting covenant under the Indenture governing the
Companys Senior Notes.

Senior Notes due 2010 (contd)
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from
holders of approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Consenting
Holders) to execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture
with the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture
waived any defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the
Indentures reporting covenant requiring that annual and quarterly financial statements are filed
with the trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines, and extended until
May 31, 2007, or at the Companys election until June 30, 2007 (the Covenant Reversion Date), the
date by which the Companys failure to comply with the reporting covenant shall constitute a
default, or be the basis for an event of default under the Indenture. The Company paid consent fees
of $1.0 million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the Company provided notice to the
holders of the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant Reversion Date to June 30, 2007.
The Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the Consenting Holders. Because the
Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by June 30, 2007, it was in
default of the reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007, and received notice of such
default on July 2, 2007. The Company cured such default under the Indenture, which provides for a
30-day cure period for defaults under the reporting covenant, by filing its Original 2006 Form 10-K
and the first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q by the end of the 30-day cure period.
Old Senior Notes due 2005
In December 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million of Senior Notes due December 1, 2005
bearing interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum (the Old Senior Notes).
During 2003, the Company retired an aggregate of $47.2 million principal amount of the Old
Senior Notes and accrued interest of $0.7 million in exchange for the issuance of 5,838,353 of its
common shares at an average value of $8.28 per share. The Company recorded additional charges of
$0.3 million related to costs associated with this retirement. These transactions had the effect of
reducing the principal amount of the Companys outstanding Old Senior Notes to $152.8 million. In
December 2003, the Company completed a tender offer and consent solicitation for its remaining
$152.8 million of the Old Senior Notes. In December 2003, $123.6 million in principal of the Old
Senior Notes were redeemed pursuant to the tender offer. Notice of Redemption for all remaining
outstanding Old Senior Notes was delivered on December 4, 2003 and the remaining $29.2 million of
outstanding Old Senior Notes were redeemed on January 2, 2004. A loss of $0.8 million related to
the retirement was recorded in 2004.

Pension and Postretirement Obligations
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan, the SERP, covering its two Co-CEOs. As at
December 31, 2006, the Company had an unfunded and accrued projected benefit obligation of
approximately $26.1 million (December 31, 2005 $31.1 million) in respect of the SERP. At the time
the Company established the SERP, it also took out life insurance policies on its two Co-CEOs with
coverage amounts of $21.5 million in aggregate. The Company intends to use the proceeds of life
insurance policies taken on its Co-CEOs to be applied towards the benefits due and payable under
the SERP, although there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately do so. As at December
31, 2006, the cash surrender value of the insurance policies is $4.3 million (December 31, 2005 -
$3.3 million).

Pension and Postretirement Obligations (contd)
In July 2000, the Company agreed to maintain health benefits for its two Co-CEOs upon
retirement. As at December 31, 2006, the Company had an unfunded benefit obligation of $0.4 million
(December 31, 2005 $0.4 million).
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP covering its
two Co-CEOs effective January 1, 2006 which reduced the related pension expense to the Company.
Under the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually
to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse.
The Company represented by the Independent Directors, who retained Mercer Human Resources
Consulting (Mercer) and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses regarding the
SERP. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce the ongoing costs to the Company, the cost
of living adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs are each reduced
by 50%, subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of control of the
Company, and the net present value of the reduced benefit payments is accelerated and paid out upon
a change of control of the Company. The amendment resulted in a credit to accumulated other
comprehensive income of $2.8 million, a reduction of other assets of $3.4 million, and a reduction
in the accrued pension liability of $6.2 million. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the
plan initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception
until age 55. The vesting percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than by
voluntary retirement or upon change of control shall be 100%. As of December 31, 2006, one of the
Co-CEOs benefits were 100% vested and the other Co-CEOs benefits were approximately 82% vested.
A Co-CEO whose employment terminates other than for cause prior to August 1, 2010 will receive
SERP benefits in the form of monthly annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or
August 1, 2010 at which time the Co-CEO shall receive remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum
payment. A Co-CEO who retires on or after August 1, 2010 shall receive SERP benefits in the form of
a lump sum payment.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company does
not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
A majority of the Companys revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars while a significant portion
of its costs and expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the Companys net U.S.
dollar flows is converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot
market. In Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations. Net
Japanese yen cash flows are converted to U.S. dollars through the spot market. The Company also has
cash receipts under leases denominated in Japanese yen, Euros and Canadian dollars. In 2006, the
Company recorded translation gains of $0.2 million (2005 $0.7 million loss) primarily from the
receivables associated with leases denominated in Euros, as the value of the U.S. dollar declined
in relation to the Euro. The value of the U.S. dollar declined in relation to the Canadian dollar
and therefore had a negative impact on working capital. The Company plans to convert Japanese yen
and Euros lease cash flows to U.S. dollars through the spot markets on a go-forward basis.

IMAX CORPORATION
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of IMAX Corporation:
We have completed integrated audits of IMAX Corporations consolidated financial statements
and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based
on our audits, are presented below.
Consolidated Financial Statements And Financial Statement Schedule
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IMAX Corporation (the Company) and
its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index under Item 15(a) (2)
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in
conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
As described in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004 have been restated.
As described in note 2 (q) and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed
its accounting policies for the stock option plans and the defined benefit pension plan,
respectively.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Also, we have audited managements assessment, included in Managements Annual Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company did not
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, due to
certain material weaknesses that have been discussed therein, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on managements
assessment and on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal
control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2006, the following
material weaknesses have been identified and included in managements assessment:
|
1. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over the
analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to correctly assess
the identification of deliverables and their aggregation into units of accounting and in
certain cases the point when certain units of accounting were substantially complete to
allow for revenue recognition on a theater system. In addition, the Company did not have
effective controls over other aspects of such transactions including identifying the fair
values of certain future deliverables, identifying certain clauses in arrangements that
impact revenue recognition, accounting for warranty costs, the appropriate accounting for
certain settlement agreements and the recognition of finance income on impaired
receivables. |
|
|
2. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective
controls were not maintained related to the classification and accurate recording of
marketing and advertising costs of co-produced film productions, production fees on
co-produced films and the application of the individual-film forecast computation method to
film assets, participation liabilities and deferred production fees. |
|
|
3. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
the accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained related to the classification of fees paid to a
professional services firm. |
|
|
4. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate recording
of postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant
contractual provisions within its executive employment contracts. |
|
|
5. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including
period-end controls, over the complete and accurate recording
of transactions related to real estate lease arrangements for owned and operated theaters
or corporate offices in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were
not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant contractual provisions
including lease inducements, construction allowances, rent holidays, escalation clauses and
lease commencement dates. In addition, adequate controls were not maintained over the
accurate recording of rent abatements received in subsequent periods.
|
Each of the control deficiencies referred to above contributed to the restatement of the
Companys consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2002 through 2006, its
consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and
its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and
September 30, 2006, and audit adjustments to the Companys 2006 annual consolidated financial
statements, affecting principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and
administrative expenses, accounts receivable, financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses,
film assets, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred
revenue, and related disclosures including postretirement benefits.
|
6. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the
provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls
were not in place such that the tax provisions were appropriately allocated to continuing
operations, discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. This
control deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to the Companys 2006 annual
consolidated financial statements, affecting the provisions for income taxes, net earnings
from discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. |

IMAX CORPORATION
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
7. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between
operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue recognition for sales
and lease transactions. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to raise on a
timely basis certain issues relating to observations of the installation process, any
remaining installation or operating obligations, and concessions on contractual terms that
may impact the accuracy and timing of revenue recognition. This control deficiency
contributed to the restatement of the Companys consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2002 through 2005, its consolidated financial statements for each
of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and its consolidated financial
statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2006, and
audit adjustments to the Companys 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting
principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses,
financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, other assets, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and related disclosures. |
|
|
8. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between
departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Companys
financial reporting. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the status
of a review of cap limits under the Companys Stock Option Plan that affected the recording
and related disclosure of stock-based compensation benefits. This control deficiency
contributed to a restatement of the Companys September 30, 2006 financial statements,
affecting accrued liabilities, other equity and selling, general and administrative
expenses, and related disclosures. |
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of
audit tests applied in our audit of the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements, and
our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
COSO. Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weaknesses described above on
the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
Management
and we previously concluded that the Company did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2006 because of the material weaknesses described
in items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 above. However, management has
subsequently determined that the material weakness described in
item 5 above also existed as of December 31, 2006.
Accordingly, Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and our opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting have been restated to include this
additional material weakness.
We
do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on
managements statements referring to the Companys
remediation plan or changes in internal control over financial
reporting included in Managements Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows: |
|
|
|
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Significant differences between United
States and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP) are described in
note 29. |
|
(a) |
|
Basis of Consolidation |
|
|
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company together with its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for subsidiaries which the Company has identified as variable
interest entities (VIEs) where the Company is not the primary beneficiary. |
|
|
|
The Company has evaluated its various variable interests to determine whether they are VIEs in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46R,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R). The Company has five film production
companies that are VIEs. As the Company is exposed to the majority of the expected losses for one
of the film production companies, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of
this entity. The Company continues to consolidate this entity, with no material impact on the
operating results or financial condition of the Company, as this production company has total
assets and total liabilities of $nil as at December 31, 2006 (December 31, 2005 $nil). For the
other four film production companies which are VIEs, the Company did not consolidate these film
entities since it does not bear the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns.
The Company equity accounts for these entities. As of December 31, 2006, these four VIEs have total
assets of $0.4 million
(December 31, 2005 $0.3 million) and total liabilities of $0.4 million (December 31, 2005 $0.3
million). Earnings or (losses) of the investees included in the companys net earnings or loss
amounted to $nil for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, respectively. The carrying
value of these investments in VIEs that are not consolidated is $nil at |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) |
|
(a) |
|
Basis of Consolidation (contd) |
|
|
|
December 31, 2006 (2005 $nil). A loss in value of an investment other than a temporary decline is
recognized as a charge to earnings. |
|
|
|
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including all unrealized intercompany
profits on transactions with equity-accounted investees, have been eliminated. |
|
(b) |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. Significant estimates made by
management include, but are not limited to: fair values associated with the individual elements in
multiple element arrangements; residual values of leased theater systems; economic lives of leased
assets; allowances for potential uncollectibility of accounts receivable, financing receivables and
net investment in leases; provisions for inventory obsolescence; ultimate revenues for film assets;
estimates of fair values for film assets, long-lived assets and goodwill; depreciable lives of
property, plant and equipment; useful lives of intangible assets; pension plan assumptions;
accruals for contingencies including tax contingencies; valuation allowances for deferred income
tax assets; and, estimates of the fair value of stock-based payment awards. |
|
(c) |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less and any restricted cash to be cash equivalents. |
|
(d) |
|
Short-Term Investments |
|
|
|
The Company has short-term investments which have maturities of more than three months and less
than one year from the date of purchase. During November 2006, the Company changed the
classification of these short-term investments from held to maturity to available for sale
because the Company sold an investment (with a carrying value of $6.4 million) before its maturity
date in order to meet its cash requirements at the time. The realized gain resulting from that sale
was $0.02 million. As a consequence, the Companys short-term investments are accounted for at fair
market value. Prior to November 2006, short-term investments were held at amortized cost and were
classified as held to maturity based on the Companys positive intent and ability to hold the
securities to maturity. |
|
|
|
The Company invests primarily in Canadian and U.S. government securities and commercial paper rated
A1+ by Standard & Poors. Income related to these securities is reported as a component of
interest income. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $2.1 million (2005 $6.1 million) invested
in Canadian government securities and $nil (2005 $2.1 million) invested in U.S. government
securities. The Company recorded interest income of $0.4 million (2005 $0.5 million) from its
short-term investments. |
|
(e) |
|
Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables |
|
|
|
Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable are based on the Companys assessment of the
collectibility of specific customer balances, which is based upon a review of the customers credit
worthiness, past collection history and the underlying asset value of the equipment, where
applicable. Interest on overdue accounts receivable is recognized as income as the amounts are
collected. |

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) |
|
(e) |
|
Accounts Receivable and Financing Receivables (contd) |
|
|
|
The Company monitors the performance of the theaters to which it has leased or sold theater systems
which are subject to ongoing payments. When facts and circumstances indicate that there is a
potential impairment in the net investment in lease or a financing receivable, the Company will
evaluate the potential outcome of either renegotiations involving changes in the terms of the
receivable or defaults on the existing lease or financed sale agreements. The Company will record a
provision if it is considered probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
under the contractual terms of the arrangement or a renegotiated lease amount will cause a
reclassification of the sales-type lease to an operating lease. When the net investment in lease or
the financing receivable is impaired, the Company will recognize a valuation allowance for the
difference between the carrying value in the investment and the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate for the net investment in the lease or the
financing receivable. If the Company expects to recover the theater system, the provision is equal
to the excess of the carrying value of the investment over the fair value of the equipment. When
the minimum lease payments are renegotiated and the lease continues to be classified as a
sales-type lease, the reduction in payments is applied to reduce unearned finance income. |
|
|
|
These provisions are adjusted when there is a significant change in the amount or timing of the
expected future cash flows or actual cash flows differ from cash flow previously expected. |
|
|
|
Once a net investment in lease or financing receivable is considered impaired, the Company does not
recognize interest income until the collectibility issues are resolved. When finance income is not
recognized, any payments received are applied against outstanding gross minimum lease amounts
receivable or gross receivables from financed sales. |
|
(f) |
|
Inventories |
|
|
|
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost determined on an average cost basis, and net
realizable value, except for raw materials, which are carried at the lower of cost and replacement
cost. Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials, direct labor, theater
design costs, and an applicable share of manufacturing overhead costs. |
|
|
|
The Company records provisions for obsolete inventory based upon current estimates of future events
and conditions, including the anticipated installation dates for the current backlog of theater
system contracts, signings in negotiation and anticipated market acceptance of the Companys
current and pending theater systems. |
|
|
|
Finished goods inventories can contain theater systems for which title has passed to the Companys
customer as the theater system has been delivered to the customer, however, the revenue recognition
criteria as discussed in note 2(n) have not been met. The cost related to these theater systems are
relieved from inventory when the revenue is recognized on the sale or sales-type lease
arrangements. At December 31, 2006, finished goods inventory for which title had passed to the
customer amounted to $0.4 million (2005 $1.0 million). |
|
(g) |
|
Film Assets |
|
|
|
Costs of producing films, including labor, allocated overhead, capitalized interest, and costs of
acquiring film rights are recorded as film assets and accounted for in accordance with American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 00-2, Accounting by Producers or
Distributors of Films. Production financing provided by third parties that acquire substantive
rights in the film is recorded as a reduction of the cost of the production. Film assets are
amortized and participation costs are accrued using the individual-film-forecast method in the same
ratio that current gross revenues bear to current and anticipated future ultimate revenues.
Estimates of ultimate revenues are prepared on a title-by-title basis and reviewed regularly by
management and revised where necessary to reflect the most current information. Ultimate revenue
for films includes estimates of revenue over a period not to exceed ten years following the date of
initial release. |
|
|
|
Film exploitation costs, including advertising costs, are expensed as incurred. |
|
|
|
Costs, including labor and allocated overhead, of digitally re-mastering films where the copyright
is owned by a third party and the Company shares in the revenue of the third party are included in
film assets. These costs are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method in the same ratio
that current gross revenues bear to current and anticipated future ultimate revenues from the
re-mastered film. |
|
|
|
The recoverability of film assets is dependent upon commercial acceptance of the films. If events
or circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film asset is less than the unamortized film
costs, the film is written down to its fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its
films using a discounted cash flow model. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) |
|
(h) |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment |
|
|
|
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
Theater system components
|
|
|
|
5 to 15 years |
Camera equipment
|
|
|
|
5 to 10 years |
Buildings

20 to 25 years |
Office and production equipment
|
|
|
|
3 to 5 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
|
|
over the shorter of the initial term of the underlying leases plus any
reasonably assured renewal terms, and the useful life of the asset |
|
|
The Company reviews the carrying values of its property, plant and equipment for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset
group might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash
flows are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its
review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is
recognized. Measurement of impairment losses is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the
asset or asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. In
2006, the Company adjusted the estimated useful life of some of its projection system components on
a prospective basis to reflect the Companys planned transition to a digital projector, for a large
portion of its commercial theater customer base, resulting in increased depreciation expense of
$0.3 million per year until 2010. |
|
|
|
A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs are recognized in the period
in which is the liability and costs are incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be
made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset and subsequently amortized over the assets useful life. |
|
(i) |
|
Other Assets |
|
|
|
Other assets include unrecognized prior service pension costs for years prior to 2006, cash
surrender value of life insurance policies, deferred charges on debt financing and deferred selling
costs that are direct and incremental to the acquisition of sales contracts. |
|
|
|
Costs of debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt. |
|
|
|
Selling costs related to an arrangement incurred prior to recognition of the related revenue are
deferred and recognized upon recognition of the contracts theater system revenue. |
|
(j) |
|
Goodwill |
|
|
|
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets
acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested
for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the
reporting units carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The
fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flows approach. If the
carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step is performed to
measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any impairment loss would be immediately expensed in
the consolidated statement of operations. |
|
(k) |
|
Other Intangible Assets |
|
|
|
Patents, trademarks and other intangibles are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 4 to 10 years. In 2006, the Company adjusted the
estimated useful life of some of its patents on a prospective basis to reflect the Companys
planned transition to a digital projector, for a large portion of its commercial theater customer
base, resulting in increased amortization expense of less than $0.1 million per year until 2010. |

Other Intangible Assets (contd) |
|
|
|
The Company reviews the carrying values of its other intangible assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group
might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows
are largely independent when testing for, and measuring for, impairment. In performing its review
for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized.
Measurement of the impairment losses is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or
asset group over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows. |
|
(l) |
|
Deferred Revenue |
|
|
|
Deferred revenue represents cash received prior to revenue recognition criteria being met for
theater system sales or leases, film contracts, maintenance and
extended warranty services, film
related services and film distribution. |
|
(m) |
|
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years
in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized in earnings in the
period in which the change is enacted. Investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction of
income tax expense. |
|
|
|
The Company assesses realization of deferred income tax assets and based on all available evidence,
concludes whether it is more likely than not that the net deferred income tax assets will be
realized. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred income tax assets not
considered to be realizable. |

Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
Multiple Element Arrangements |
|
|
|
The Companys revenue arrangements with certain customers may involve multiple elements consisting
of a theater system (projector, sound system, screen system and, if applicable, a 3D glasses
cleaning machine); services associated with the theater system including theater design support,
supervision of installation, and projectionist training; a license to use of the IMAX brand; 3D
glasses; maintenance and extended warranty services; and licensing of films. The Company evaluates
all elements in an arrangement to determine what are considered typical deliverables for accounting
purposes and which of the deliverables represent separate units of accounting based on the
applicable accounting guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, Accounting
for Leases (SFAS 13); FASB Technical Bulletin No. 90-1, Accounting for Separately Priced
Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts (FTB 90-1); Statement of Position 00-2,
Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films (SOP 00-2); and Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). If
separate units of accounting are either required under the relevant accounting standards or
determined to be applicable under EITF 00-21, the total consideration received or receivable in the
arrangement is allocated based on the applicable guidance in the above noted standards. |
|
|
|
Theater Systems |
|
|
|
The Company has identified the projection system, sound system, and screen system and, if
applicable, the 3D glasses cleaning machine, theater design support, supervision of installation,
projectionist training and the use of the IMAX brand to be a single deliverable and a single unit
of accounting (the System Deliverable). When an arrangement does not include all the elements of
a System Deliverable, the elements of the System Deliverable included in the arrangement are
considered by the Company to be a single deliverable and a single unit of accounting. The Company
is not responsible for the physical installation of the equipment in the customers facility;
however, the Company supervises the installation by the customer. The customer has the right to use
the IMAX brand from the date the Company and the customer enter into an arrangement. |

|
Revenue Recognition (contd) |
|
|
|
Theater Systems (contd) |
|
|
|
The Companys System Deliverable arrangements involve either a lease or a sale of the theater
system. The consideration in the Companys arrangements consist of upfront or initial payments made
before and after the final installation of the theater system equipment and ongoing payments
throughout the term of the lease or over a period of time, as specified in the arrangement. The
ongoing payments provide for a fee which is the greater of a fixed amount or a certain percentage
of the theater box-office. The amounts over the fixed minimum amounts are considered contingent
payments. The Companys arrangements are non-cancellable, unless the Company fails to perform its
obligations. In the absence of a material default by the Company, there is no right to any remedy
for the customer under the Companys arrangements. If a material default by the Company exists, the
customer has the right to terminate the arrangement and seek a refund only if the customer provides
notice to the Company of a material default and only if the Company does not cure the default
within a specified period. |
|
|
|
Sales Arrangements |
|
|
|
For sales arrangements, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized in accordance
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue
Recognition (SAB 104), when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector,
sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D
glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been
completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the
completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist
training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided there is persuasive evidence of an
arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
The initial revenue recognized consists of the initial payments received and the present value of
any future initial payments and fixed minimum ongoing payments that have been attributed to this
unit of accounting. Contingent fees in excess of the fixed minimum ongoing payments are recognized
when reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
The Company has also agreed, on occasion, to sell equipment under lease or at the end of a lease
term. Consideration agreed to for these lease buyouts is included in revenues from equipment and
product sales, when the persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
Lease Arrangements |
|
|
|
The Company uses the guidance in EITF Issue No. 01-8, Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains
a Lease (EITF 01-8), to evaluate whether an arrangement is a lease within the scope of SFAS 13.
Arrangements not within the scope of SFAS 13 are accounted for either as a sales or services
arrangement, as applicable. |
|
|
|
For lease arrangements, the Company determines the classification of the lease in accordance with
SFAS 13. A lease arrangement that transfers substantially all of the benefits and risks incident to
ownership of the equipment is classified as a sales-type lease based on the criteria established by
SFAS 13; otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. Prior to commencement of the
lease term for the equipment, the Company may modify certain payment terms or make concessions. If
these circumstances occur, the Company reassesses the classification of the lease based on the
modified terms and conditions. |
|
|
|
For sales-type leases, the revenue allocated to the System Deliverable is recognized when the lease
term commences, which the Company deems to be when all of the following conditions have been met:
(i) the projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working
condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii)
projectionist training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written
customer acceptance certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment
and the completion of projectionist training or (b) public opening of the theater, provided
collectibility is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
The initial revenue recognized for sales-type leases consists of the initial rents received and the
present value of future initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents computed at the interest rate
implicit in the lease. Contingent rents in excess of the fixed minimum rents are recognized when
reported by theater operators, provided collection is reasonably assured. |

Revenue Recognition (contd) |
|
|
|
Lease Arrangements (contd) |
|
|
|
For operating leases, initial rents and fixed minimum ongoing rents are recognized as revenue on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. For operating leases, the lease term is considered to
commence when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and
screen system have been installed and in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning
machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed and
(iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of the written customer acceptance certifying the completion of
installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of projectionist training or
(b) public opening of the theater. Contingent fees in excess of fixed minimum ongoing fees are
recognized as revenue when reported by theater operators, provided that collection is reasonably
assured. |
|
|
|
Joint Revenue Sharing Arrangements |
|
|
|
For joint revenue sharing arrangements, where the Company receives a portion of a theaters
box-office and concession revenue in exchange for placing a theater system at the theater
operators venue, revenue is recognized when reported by the theater operator, provided that
collection is reasonably assured. Revenue recognized related to these arrangements for the years
ended 2006, 2005 and 2004 included in rental revenue was $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $nil,
respectively. |
|
|
|
Finance Income |
|
|
|
Finance income is recognized over the term of the lease or financed sales receivable, provided that
collection is reasonably assured. The Company ceases to recognize finance income when the
receivable is considered to be impaired. |
|
|
|
Improvements and Modifications |
|
|
|
Improvements and modifications to the theater system after installation are treated as separate
revenue transactions, if and when the Company is requested to perform these services. Revenue is
recognized for these services when the performance of the services has been completed, provided
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is
reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
Cost of Equipment Sold and Rentals |
|
|
|
Cost of equipment sold includes the cost of the equipment and costs related to project management,
design, delivery and installation supervision services as applicable. These costs are recognized as
a charge to cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company defers direct
selling costs such as sales commissions as other assets related to these contracts until the
related revenue is recognized. The Company may have warranty obligations at or after the time
revenue is recognized which require replacement of certain parts that do not affect the
functionality of the theater system or services. The costs for these warranty obligations are
accrued for known issues based on the Companys past historical experience and cost estimates. |
|
|
|
For theater systems and other equipment subject to an operating lease or placed in a theater
operators venue under a joint revenue sharing arrangement, the equipment is included within
property, plant and equipment. Depreciation and impairment losses, if any, are included in cost of
rentals based on the accounting policy set out in note 2(h). |
|
|
|
Terminations and Consensual Buyout |
|
|
|
The Company enters into theater system arrangements with customers that contain customer payment
obligations prior to the scheduled installation of the theater system. During the period of time
between signing and the installation of the theater system, which may extend several years, certain
customers may be unable to, or elect not to, proceed with the theater system installation for a
number of reasons including business considerations, or the inability to obtain certain consents,
approvals or financing. Once the determination is made that the customer will not proceed with
installation, the arrangement may be terminated under the default provisions of the arrangement or
by mutual agreement between the Company and the customer (a consensual buyout). Terminations by
default are situations when a customer does not meet the payment obligations under an arrangement
and the Company retains the amounts paid by the customer which are recorded in Other revenues.
Under a consensual buyout, the Company and the customer agree, in writing, to a settlement and to
release each other of any further
obligations under the arrangement or an arbitrated settlement is reached. Any initial payments
retained or additional payment received by the Company are recognized as revenue when the
settlement arrangements are executed and the cash is received, respectively. These termination and
consensual buyout amounts are recognized in Other revenues. |

|
|
In addition, since the introduction of the IMAX MPX theater system in 2003, the Company has agreed
with several customers to convert their obligations for other theater system configurations that
have not yet been installed to arrangements to acquire or lease the IMAX MPX theater system. The
Company considers these situations to be a termination of the previous arrangement and origination
of a new arrangement for the MPX theater system. The Company continues to defer an amount of any
initial fees received from the customer such that the aggregate of the fees deferred and the net
present value of the future fixed initial and ongoing payments to be received from the customer
equals the fair value of the IMAX MPX theater system to be leased or acquired by the customer. Any
residual portion of the initial fees received from the customer for the terminated theater system
is recorded in Other Revenues at the time when the obligation for the original theater system is
terminated and the IMAX MPX theater system arrangement is signed. |
|
|
|
The Company may offer certain incentives to customers to complete theater system transactions
including payment concessions or free services and products such as film licenses or 3D glasses.
The payment concessions do not affect the classification of leases. Reductions in and deferral of
payments are taken into account in determining the sales price either by a direct reduction in the
sales price or a reduction of unearned income in accordance with SFAS 13 or Accounting Principle
Board Opinion No. 21, Interest on Receivables and Payables (APB 21). Free products and services
are accounted for as separate units of accounting. |
|
|
|
Maintenance and Extended Warranty Services |
|
|
|
Maintenance and extended warranty services may be provided under a multiple element arrangement or
as a separately priced contract. Revenue related to these services are deferred and recognized on a
straight-line basis over the contract period. Maintenance and extended warranty services includes
maintenance of the customers equipment and spare replacement parts. Under certain maintenance
arrangements, maintenance services may include training services to the customers technicians. All
costs associated with this maintenance program are expensed as incurred. A loss on maintenance and
extended warranty services is recognized if the expected cost of providing the services under the
contracts exceeds the related deferred revenue. |
|
|
|
Film Production and IMAX DMR Services |
|
|
|
In certain film arrangements, the Company produces a film financed by third parties whereby the
third party retain the copyright and the Company obtains exclusive distribution rights. Under these
arrangements, the Company is entitled to receive a fixed fee or to retain as a fee the excess of
funding over cost of production (the production fee). The third parties receive a portion of the
revenues received by the Company on distributing the film which is charged to costs of revenue. The
production fees are deferred and recognized as a rebate of the cost of the film based on the ratio
of the Companys distribution revenues recognized in the current period to the ultimate
distribution revenues expected from the film. |
|
|
|
Revenue from film production services where the Company does not hold the associated distribution
rights are recognized when performance of the contractual service is complete, provided there is
persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably
assured. |
|
|
|
Revenues from digitally re-mastering (IMAX DMR) film where third parties own or hold the copyrights
and the rights to distribute the film are derived in the form of processing fees and recoupments
calculated as a percentage of box-office receipts generated from the re-mastered films. Processing
fees are recognized as revenues when the performance of the related re-mastering service is
completed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Recoupments calculated as a percentage of
box-office receipts are recognized as revenue when reported by the third party that owns or holds
the related film rights, provided that collection is reasonably assured. |
|
|
|
Losses on film production and IMAX DMR services are recognized in the period when it is determined
that the Companys estimate of total revenues to be realized by the Company will not exceed
estimated total production costs to be expended on the film production and the cost of IMAX DMR
services. |

|
Film Post-Production Services |
|
|
|
Revenues from post-production film services are recognized when performance of the contracted
services is complete. |
|
|
|
Theater Operations Revenue |
|
|
|
The Company recognizes revenue from its owned and operated theaters resulting from box-office
ticket and concession sales as tickets are sold, films are shown and upon the sale of various
concessions. The sales are cash or credit card transactions with theatergoers based on fixed prices
per seat or per concession item. |
|
|
|
In addition, the Company enters into commercial arrangements with third party theater owners
resulting in the sharing of profits and losses which are recognized when reported by such theaters.
The Company also provides management services to certain theaters and recognizes revenue over the
term of such services. |
|
|
|
Other |
|
|
|
Revenues on camera rentals are recognized over the rental period.
Revenue from the sale of 3D glasses is recognized when the 3D glasses have been delivered to the customer.
Other service revenues are recognized when the performance of contracted services is complete.

Foreign Currency Translation |
|
|
|
Monetary assets and liabilities of the Companys operations which are denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange
rates prevailing at the end of the period. Non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange
rates. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at exchange rates prevalent at the
transaction date. Such exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net earnings
(loss) in the period in which they arise. Since 2001, the Company has not had any foreign
subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. |

Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
The Company has certain stock-based payment award plans as further described in note 17(c).
Stock-based compensation expense recovery recognized for employees of the Company in 2006, 2005 and
2004 was $0.6 million expense, $0.2 million recovery and $0.1 million expense, respectively, net of
recognized tax benefits of $nil for all three years. Total stock-based compensation expense related
to nonvested employee stock-based payment awards not yet recognized at December 31, 2006 and the
weighted average period over which the awards are expected to be recognized is $1.5 million and 3.2
years, respectively. |
|
|
|
Adoption of FAS 123R for Employee Awards |
|
|
|
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors for employee stock
options based on estimated fair values. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107, Share-Based Payments (SAB 107), relating to SFAS 123R. The Company has applied the
provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. |
|
|
|
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the
application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006 to new awards, nonvested and
outstanding awards as of January 1, 2006, or to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled. In
accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Companys consolidated financial
statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of
SFAS 123R. No transition adjustment resulted from adopting SFAS 123R. |
|
|
|
SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of employee stock-based payment awards on
the date of grant using fair value measurement techniques such as an option-pricing model. The
value of the portion of the employee award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods in the Companys consolidated statement of operations.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and
directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), as allowed under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123).
Under the intrinsic value method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the Companys
consolidated statement of operations if the exercise prices of the Companys stock options granted
to employees and directors were less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date
of grant, or terms of options were modified, or for awards that were accounted for as liabilities,
based on changes in the intrinsic value of the award. |
|
|
|
For the year beginning January 1, 2006, stock-based compensation expense includes compensation cost
for new employee stock-based payment awards granted and employee awards modified, repurchased or
cancelled after January 1, 2006. In addition, compensation expense includes the compensation cost,
based on the grant-date fair value calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, for the
portion of awards for which requires service had not been rendered that were outstanding as of
January 1, 2006. Compensation expense for these employee awards is recognized using the
straight-line single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2006 is based
on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R
requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if subsequent information
indicated that the actual forfeitures are likely to be different from previous estimates. In the
Companys pro forma information required under SFAS 123 for the periods prior to 2006, the Company
also estimated forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods. |

Stock Option Plans
The weighted average fair value of all common share options, excluding those in excess of cap
limits discussed below, granted to employees in 2006 at the date of grant was $3.70 per share (2005
- $3.59 per share, 2004 $2.12 per share). The Company utilizes a Binomial Model to determine the
fair value of common share options at the grant date. For the years ended December 31, the
following assumptions were used:

As the Company stratifies its employees into two groups in order to calculate fair value under the
Binomial Model, ranges of assumptions used are presented for equity risk premium, Beta, expected
option life and annual termination probability. The Company uses historical data to estimate option
exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that
have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The
expected volatility rate is estimated based on the Companys historical share-price volatility. The
market risk premium reflects the amount by which the return on the market portfolio exceeds the
risk-free rate, where the return on the market portfolio is based on the Standard and Poors 500
index. The Company utilizes an expected term method to determine expected option life based on such
data as vesting periods of awards, historical data that includes past exercise and post-vesting
cancellations and stock price history.

Stock-Based Compensation (contd) |
|
|
|
Stock Option Plans (contd) |
|
|
|
The Companys policy is to issue new shares from treasury to satisfy stock options which are
exercised. |
|
|
|
The Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2006 that it exceeded, by approximately 1.6%,
certain cap limits for grants set by the Companys stock option plan, as discussed in note 17(c).
The Company has separately disclosed information relating to these options issued in excess of the
cap limits in note 17(c). These options have been treated as liability-based awards effective from
September 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
In June 2007, 195,286 of such options were voluntarily surrendered by the Co-Chief Executive
Officers (Co-CEOs) and members of the Board of Directors for no consideration. No compensation
cost was reversed for this surrender. In May 2007, 20,750 were forfeited for which compensation
cost was reversed as applicable in the second quarter of 2007. The remaining 533,250 options were
cancelled and settled in cash in June 2007 in an amount of $0.5 million. |
|
|
|
The weighted average fair value of the common share options granted in excess of the caps in 2006
at the time of grant was $3.74 per share (2005 $3.73 per share). |
|
|
|
Restricted Common Shares |
|
|
|
The Companys restricted common shares have been classified as liabilities in accordance with both
FAS 123R and FAS 123. The Company utilizes the Binomial Model to determine the value of restricted
common shares settleable in cash until the rights are exercisable by the employee, at which time
the fair value is based on the intrinsic value of the awards. |
|
|
|
Stock Appreciation Rights |
|
|
|
There were no stock appreciation rights issued during the three years ended December 31, 2006 or
outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. |
|
|
|
On February 15, 2007, 600,000 stock appreciation rights with an exercise price of $4.34 per right
were granted to Company executives. Half of the rights vested and were exercisable immediately and
the other 300,000 rights will vest and be exercisable by the end of 2007. These rights were
measured at fair value at the date of grant and are remeasured each period until settled. At the
grant date, these rights had weighted average fair value of $1.02 based on the fair value of $nil
for the rights that vested on date of grant and a fair value of $2.04 for the rights that vest
during 2007. The following assumptions were used at the time of grant for measuring the fair value

to Non-Employees
Stock-based awards for services provided by non-employees are accounted for based on the fair value

fair value of the stock-based award is used, the fair value is measured at the date of the award
and remeasured until the earlier of the date that the Company has a performance commitment from the
non-employees, the date performance is completed, or the awards
vest.

Pension Plans and Postretirement Benefits |
|
|
|
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the
SERP). As the Companys SERP is unfunded, as at December 31, 2006, a liability is recognized for
the projected benefit obligation. Assumptions used in computing the defined benefit obligations
are regularly reviewed by management in consultation with its actuaries and adjusted for current
conditions. As at December 31, 2006, gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise
during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefits cost are
recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Amounts recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income including unrecognized gains or losses and prior service costs are adjusted
as they are subsequently recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost. Prior service
costs resulting from the pension plan inception or amendments are amortized over the expected
future service life of the employees, cumulative actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of
the projected benefit obligation are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of
the employees, and current service costs are expensed when earned. The remaining weighted average
future service life of the employees for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 2.8 years |
|
|
|
For defined contribution pension plans, amounts contributed by the Company are recorded as an
expense. |
|
|
|
A liability is recognized for unfunded accumulated benefit obligation of the postretirement
benefits plan. Assumptions used in computing the accumulated benefit obligation are reviewed by
management in consultation with its actuaries and adjusted for current conditions. Current service
cost is recognized as earned and actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated
statement of operations immediately. |
|
(s) |
|
Guarantees |
|
|
|
FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45) requires a guarantor to
recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of a guarantee.
Disclosures as required under FIN 45 have been included in note 16(h). |
|

|
Accounting Changes |
|
|
|
As noted in note 2(q), the Company has changed its method of accounting for stock-based
compensation by adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition
method. |
|
|
|
The FASB also issued in September 2006 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment
of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R) (SFAS 158). This Standard requires recognition of
the unfunded status of a defined benefit plan in the statement of financial position, recognition
in other comprehensive income of certain actuarial gains and losses and past service costs that
arise during the period but are not recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and the
addition of certain disclosures. In addition, SFAS 158 requires all benefit obligations to be
measured at the Companys year-end date. The recognition and disclosure elements are effective as
of the end of the Companys 2006 year-end and the measurement elements are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2008. The Companys current measurement date for its defined
benefit plans is December 31. Adoption of SFAS 158 has resulted in a credit of $0.8 million net of
income tax of $0.3 million to accumulated other comprehensive income, which represents
unrecognized prior service credits of $1.7 million and net actuarial losses of $0.9 million at
December 31, 2006 and a decrease in the accrued liabilities of $0.8 related to the accrued benefit
cost. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the
Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity in practice
surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that
registrants quantify errors using both a balance sheet and income statement approach and evaluate
whether either approach results in a misstated amount that, when all relevant quantitative and
qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 was implemented by the end of the
Companys fiscal 2006 reporting period. The Company has restated its prior period financial
statements as described in note 4. As part of the restatement, the Company has recorded all prior
period uncorrected errors, including those previously considered immaterial. The Company believes
the approach used in the restatement is consistent with the principles in SAB 108. |

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements |
|
|
|
As a result of certain transactions occurring during the 2007 fiscal year, the Company identified
certain errors related to operating leases for its facilities and sponsorship revenues associated
with its owned and operated theaters. In addition, the Company identified an error relating to
revenue recognition, resulting from the Companys review of one theater system arrangement which
occurred in 2002, in response to comments received from the Staff of the SEC. As a result, the
previously issued consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the
three years ended December 31, 2006, have been restated (the Second Restatement). The previously
issued consolidated financial statements included in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
previously filed on July 20, 2007 (the Original 2006 Form 10-K), had included restatements
related to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2005 and for the two years
ended December 31, 2005 (the First Restatement). |
|
(a) |
|
First Restatement |
|
|
|
The Company identified certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition resulting from the
Companys review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to comments
received from the staff of both the SEC and Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) which indicated
insufficient analysis of various sales and lease transactions and the accounting effect of certain
contractual provisions within them; and misallocations of consideration to elements within certain
multiple element arrangements; (b) capitalization of costs into inventory and film assets and
amortization of film assets in accordance with SOP 00-2; (c) income tax liabilities resulting from
failure to make certain tax elections on a timely basis and (d) certain other items described under
Other Adjustments in this note. In addition, in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements, the Company recorded other adjustments related to prior periods unadjusted differences
that had been deemed not to be material and adjustments related to prior periods recorded through
2004 opening retained earnings. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods
presented were restated to reflect these error corrections under U.S. GAAP. A summary description
of the more significant items resulting in the restatement are as follows: |
|
i. |
|
The Companys revenue recognition policy was revised to recognize revenue only when all
of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system and screen
system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses cleaning
machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been completed
and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the
completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of
projection training or (b) public opening of the theater. These revisions impact the timing
of when the Company recognizes revenue from theater system sales and leases and resulted in
revenue related to 14 transactions being moved to later years (revenue and net earnings
impact of $27.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively). As a consequence, revenue and net
earnings of $5.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to three transactions has
been deferred to be recognized in years subsequent to 2006. The most significant impact was
in 2005, where revenue for 10 installations was moved to later years (revenue and net
earnings impact of $17.5 million and $9.7 million, respectively). Eight installations were
moved to 2006 (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $14.1 million and $7.5 million,
respectively) and two installations (with a revenue and net earnings impact of $3.4 million
and $2.2 million, respectively) were moved to 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Other adjustments related to theater systems include the misallocation of consideration to
elements within certain multiple element arrangements, reclassification of certain
transactions from sales to sales-type leases and from sales-type leases to operating leases
given remaining lien rights or non-standard contractual provisions, inappropriate deferral
and allocation of revenue to elements, and improperly recognized finance income on certain
transactions. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease of income of $1.9 million for the
period 2002 through 2006. |
|
|
ii. |
|
Adjustments for inventory costs, film and income tax accounting and the impact of prior
periods unadjusted differences resulted in a net decrease of income of $4.6 million for
periods prior to 2006, $3.1 million of these adjustments increased income in 2006 with the
remaining $1.5 million to increase income in 2007 and thereafter. |

Second Restatement |
|
|
|
In October 2007, the Company announced that, after a review of its real estate leases, it had
identified certain errors related to its accounting practices as they relate to such leases for
certain of the Companys owned and operated theaters and office facilities. The Company conducted
this review after performing an analysis of a rent-abatement agreement initiated in connection with
the higher level of Finance Department oversight and awareness contemplated by the Companys ongoing
remediation plan (see Item 9A). The review focused on the Companys historical accounting practice
for recording the impact of rent holidays, abatements, escalation clauses and landlord construction
allowances. The Company also reviewed its accounting for theater sponsorship revenue at its owned
and operated theaters. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that certain of its prior
practices were not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Company has restated its Consolidated
Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. The overall
net impact of these restatement errors was an increase in the loss by less than $0.1 million in
2006, a decrease in net earnings for 2005 of $0.2 million and a decrease in net earnings for 2004
of $0.3 million. In addition, the net impact of the restatement for periods prior to 2004 was a net
increase in shareholders deficit of $5.1 million as at December 31, 2003. |
|
|
|
Furthermore, the Company identified an error relating to the classification of a theater system
arrangement. The arrangement was originally treated as a sale with contingent minimums however,
after further review of significant terms in the agreement it was determined that the arrangement
should have been treated as an operating lease. The net impact of this restatement is a decrease in
net loss of $0.1 million for 2006, an increase in net earnings for 2005 and 2004 of $0.1 million,
respectively, and an increase in shareholders deficit of $0.7 million as at December 31, 2003. |

Impact of First Restatement |
|
|
|
The sections which follow present additional detail with regard to the First Restatement and the
impact on results of operations for the years ended 2005 and 2004. This information is as reported
in the previously issued consolidated financial statements included in the Original 2006 Form 10-K
filed on July 20, 2007. |
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition Theater Systems |
|
|
|
As described in notes 1 and 2 (n) of these audited consolidated financial statements, the Companys
revenue arrangements include multiple elements. In prior years, the Company considered each
component of its theater systems to be a separate element. As a result, revenue was recognized when
certain components were installed. As part of the review of its revenue recognition policy, the
Company concluded its policy for revenue recognition on theater systems should be revised to treat
all components of the theater system (including the projector, sound system, and screen system and,
if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine), theater design support, supervision of installation,
projectionist training and the use of that IMAX brand as a single deliverable and as a single unit
of accounting, the System Deliverable. In addition, the Company revised its policy to recognize
revenue only when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the projector, sound system
and screen system have been installed and are in full working condition, (ii) the 3D glasses
cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) projectionist training has been
completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance certifying the
completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of the projection
training or (b) public opening of the theater. In conjunction with these changes, the Company
undertook an extensive review of all of its revenue arrangements for theater systems for the period
from 2002 to 2006. Two transactions which were originally recorded in 2004 (revenue and net
earnings impact of $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively) were moved to 2005 and 2006. Eight
transactions which were originally recorded in 2005 (revenue and net earnings impact of $14.1
million and $7.5 million, respectively) were moved to 2006 and two transactions which were
originally recorded in 2005 were moved to 2007 (revenue and net earnings impact of $3.4 million and
$2.2 million, respectively). In addition, one transaction recorded in 2002 was moved to 2005
(revenue and net earnings impact of $4.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively) and one
transaction recorded in 2006 was moved to 2007 (revenue and net earnings impact of $1.7 million and
$0.6 million, respectively). |

Revenue Recognition Other |
|
|
|
As a result of the review of the revenue arrangements, the Company identified additional errors
including the following: |
|
§
|
|
Based on an analysis of fair values of the elements within its arrangements, the Company
determined that the allocations of consideration received and receivable to elements of
multiple element arrangements were not updated to reflect the current fair values of
particular elements, in particular, the fair values of maintenance and extended warranty
services in the periods affected were not updated in accordance with the accounting guidance
in EITF 00-21 and other applicable standards. This affected allocations of consideration in various
arrangements to the System Deliverable, maintenance and extended warranty services, 3D glasses and film license credits.
In addition, in certain arrangements, settlement income was adjusted to reflect the residual
amount based on other elements being reflected at their fair values. |
|
|
§
|
|
The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the
reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions, for
accounting purposes when the customer was not granted title to the system until all payments
were made and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given substantially all of the
benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the customer; and the timing of recognition
of the minimum annual payments under certain arrangements. |
|
|
§
|
|
Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the Company
meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The Company has
deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an alternate theater
system configuration. |
|
|
§
|
|
Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables were
impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the recognition of finance
income until the impairment issues were resolved. |
|
|
The impact of these adjustments was a decrease in income in 2004 of $0.6 million and an increase to
income in 2005 of $0.9 million. |
|
|
|
Inventory Costs |
|
|
|
During the period from 2001 to 2006, the Company paid certain fees to a professional services firm
to assist the Company in identifying sales opportunities and provide assistance in negotiating and
concluding contracts in the developing Asian market. These fees were capitalized and allocated to
theater systems inventory for various Asian customers. The Company has determined that these fees
were promotional and selling expenses which should have been expensed as incurred as the costs were
not direct and incremental costs to a contract. The statement of operations has been adjusted by a
decrease to net earnings of $0.2 million and an increase to net earnings of $0.3 million for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. |
|
|
|
Film Accounting |
|
|
|
The Company has determined that it had misclassified certain costs incurred in respect of
co-produced film productions between 2004 and the third quarter of 2006. Marketing and advertising
costs were co-mingled with film production costs, and both were capitalized to film assets, and
subsequently amortized into the income statement over the estimated ultimate revenues associated
with the film productions. Film exploitation costs, which include marketing and advertising costs,
as defined in SOP 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films, should be expensed in
the period incurred and not capitalized to film assets. In addition, certain costs were accrued by
the Company prior to being incurred. These costs have been moved to the period in which they were
incurred. On certain co-produced film productions the Company received production fees which should
have been deferred and recognized over the estimated ultimate revenues. These production fees were
previously recognized when production of the film was complete. The Company also determined that it
had not appropriately applied the individual-film-forecast computation method when it amortized its
film assets and deferred production fees and accrued its participation liabilities for the periods
between 2002 and the third quarter of 2006. SOP 00-2 requires changes in estimates of ultimate
revenues used in the individual-film-forecast computation method to be adjusted prospectively from
the beginning of the year of the change. The Company had applied changes in estimates on a
retroactive basis from the original release date. In addition, the Company adjusted its
amortization of prepaid print costs. The statement of
operations has been adjusted by an increase to net earnings of $0.3 million and a decrease to net
earnings of $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. |

Branch Level Interest Taxes |
|
|
|
The Company did not properly account for tax liabilities for branch level interest tax. For the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the Company failed to make timely tax elections that
would have prevented an allocation of the Companys interest expense on its long-term indebtedness
to the Companys U.S. branch income tax returns. In 2006, the Company was assessed branch level
interest taxes, interest and penalties due to the fact that these tax elections were not filed on a
timely basis. The Company has determined that an accrued liability for the tax obligations should
have been recorded at the time elections should have been filed and the taxes were due to be paid,
which was in the third quarter of each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. The
statement of operations has been adjusted by a decrease to net earnings of $0.3 million and $0.3
million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. |
|
|
|
Other Adjustments |
|
|
|
During the preparation of executive compensation information for the 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K, the Company determined that the two Co-CEOs were entitled to postretirement health benefits
since 2000 for which the obligation had not been included in the prior financial statements as
required under SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions. As a result the Company should have accrued $0.2 million in 2000. SG&A was understated
by less than $0.1 million in each of 2004 and 2005 for this obligation. |
|
|
|
As part of its restatement, the Company adjusted for all unadjusted differences that were deemed to
be not material when the prior periods financial statements were issued by the Company. The
following paragraphs summarize these adjustments. |
|
|
|
In 2002, the Company recorded an asset impairment of $0.6 million on a return of certain system
components which the Company decided to use as a training system. As the equipment was designated
as an asset to be held and used, the carrying value of the system was recoverable. Accordingly, an
impairment should not have been recorded and the asset should have been depreciated over its
remaining life of three years. Depreciation expense should have been $0.2 million and $0.1 million
higher for 2004 and 2005, respectively. The related expense was included in Cost of Sales
Services. |
|
|
|
The Company inadvertently did not subject certain of its camera assets to depreciation in the years
ended 2002 and 2003. The Company originally corrected this error by booking excess depreciation of
$0.3 million in 2004 which related to prior periods. The restatement increased depreciation on the
camera assets, which is included in Cost of Sales Rentals, in the appropriate periods and
decreased depreciation expense in 2004 by $0.3 million. |
|
|
|
The Company accrued excess interest of three days in the amount of $0.1 million at the end of 2003
related to the Companys 9.625% Senior Notes due December 1, 2010 (the Senior Notes). The
restatement increased interest expense in 2004 by $0.1 million. |
|
|
|
In 2001, the Company received funds from a sponsor for naming rights for certain films. The
Companys policy is to recognize revenue and costs over the term of the sponsorship agreement;
however, for this particular agreement, the Company recognized revenues and costs over a longer
period than the agreement period. As a result, the Companys revenues reduced by $0.2 million in
2004. |
|
|
|
In 2003, the Company incorrectly valued its stock options, resulting in an increase in net
earnings. As a result, shareholders deficit was decreased by $0.2 million as of December 31, 2004. |

d) |
|
Impact of Second Restatement |
|
|
|
The sections which follow present additional detail with regard to the Second Restatement and the
impact on results of operations for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004. |
|
|
|
Operating Leases |
|
|
|
FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases (SFAS 13), and related interpretations require
that rent expense related to operating leases to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease commencing when a lessee takes possession of or controls the use of the space. In
addition, FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1, Issues Related to Accounting for Leases, requires lease
incentives, such as landlord construction allowances received to defray construction costs incurred
by the Company, be reflected as a deferred lease incentive, amortized over the lease term as a
reduction to rent expense. Previously, the Company had recognized certain rent reductions and
escalation clauses based on cash payments beginning from the date of occupancy or lease
commencement date, which had the effect of excluding any rent expense during the build-out period.
In addition, in certain cases, the Company had not recorded landlord construction allowances as a
deferred lease incentive. The Company has restated the current and prior years consolidated
financial statements to recognize net rent expense on a straight-line basis over the period from
the date the Company obtains possession and control of the property to the end of the lease term.
Net rent expense includes payments as required under the lease adjusted for rent holidays,
abatements, escalation clauses and construction allowances. In addition, the Company adjusted
depreciation and impairment charges to reflect the full cost of the leaseholds acquired. The net
impact of these restatement errors on net earnings was an increase in net loss of $0.1 million in
2006, a decrease in net earnings of $0.1 million in 2005 and a decrease in net earnings of $0.4
million in 2004. In addition, the impact of the restatement for periods prior to 2004 was a net
increase in the deficit of $5.0 million as at December 31, 2003. |
|
|
|
Sponsorship Revenue |
|
|
|
The Company also determined the accounting for theater sponsorship revenue should have been
recognized on a straightline basis over the contractual period of the sponsorship. Previously, the
Company recorded these revenues based on cash collections. The net impact of these restatement
errors was a decrease in net loss of less than $0.1 million in 2006, a decrease in net earnings of
$0.1 million in 2005 and an increase in net earnings of $0.1 million in 2004. In addition, the net
impact of the restatement for periods prior to 2004 was a net increase in shareholders deficit of
$0.1 as at December 31, 2003. |
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
|
|
The Company also determined that one theater system revenue transaction had been classified as a
sale with contingent minimums, which should have been classified as an operating lease. The Company reached this conclusion
after consideration of EITF 95-1, Revenue Recognition on Sales with Guaranteed Minimum Resale
Value, and SFAS 13, since the arrangement contained an option, exercisable by the customer,
requiring the Company to repurchase the theater system equipment for a fixed amount under certain
conditions. The net impact of this restatement was a decrease in net loss of $0.1 million for 2006,
an increase in net earnings for 2005 and 2004 of $0.1 million, respectively, and an increase in
shareholders deficit of $0.7 million as at December 31, 2003. |

deficit of $5.7 million in the aggregate. The following tables present the impact of the Second
Restatement adjustments on the Companys previously issued consolidated balance sheet, consolidated
statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows presented as comparative to the

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows |

As part of the Second Restatement the Company changed the presentation of cash flows from
discontinued operations to include cash flows related to operating and investing activities within
those respective categories. Previously, the Company presented these cash flows on a net basis as a
single caption with the statements of cash flows. |
|
|
|
There were no other errors in the cash flow statements other than conforming changes to the components of the
reconciliation to net cash provided by or used in operating activities related to the restatement
adjustments described above. |

Financing Receivables |
|
(a) |
|
General Terms of Lease Arrangements |
|
|
|
A substantial majority of the Companys leases are classified as sales-type leases. Certain
arrangements that are legal sales are also classified as sales-type leases as certain clauses
within the arrangements limit transfer of title or provides the Company with conditional rights to
the system. The customers rights under the Companys lease arrangements are described in note 2
(n). The Company classifies its lease arrangements at inception of the arrangement to determine
whether they are sales-type leases or operating leases. Under the Companys lease arrangement, the
customer has the ability and the right to operate the hardware components or direct others to
operate them in a manner determined by the customer. The Companys lease terms are typically
non-cancellable for 10 to 20 years with renewal provisions. Except for those sales arrangements
that are classified as sales-type leases, the Companys leases generally do not contain an
automatic transfer of title at the end of the lease term. The Companys lease arrangements do not
contain a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay
for executory costs such as insurance and taxes and is required to pay the Company for maintenance
and extended warranty generally after the first year of the lease. The customer is responsible for
obtaining insurance coverage for the theater systems commencing on the date specified in the
arrangements shipping terms and ending on the date the theater systems are delivered back to the
Company. |

|
Senior Notes due 2010 |
|
|
|
In December 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $160.0 million principal amount of
9.625% Senior Notes due December 1, 2010 (the Unregistered Senior Notes) to a group of initial
purchasers. In November 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer wherein $159.0 million of the
Companys Unregistered Senior Notes were exchanged for Senior Notes registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Registered Senior Notes). Apart from the fact that the Registered
Senior Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, the Unregistered Senior Notes and the
Registered Senior Notes are substantially identical and are referred to herein as the Senior
Notes. |
|
|
|
The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.625% per annum and are unsecured obligations that
rank equally with any of the Companys existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of
the Companys existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The payment of principal, premium, if
any and interest on the Senior Notes is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by
certain of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption for
cash by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 1, 2007, at redemption
prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount for each 12-month period commencing
December 1 of the years indicated: 2007 104.813%; 2008 102.406%; 2009 and thereafter -
100.000%, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. If certain
changes were to result in the imposition of withholding taxes under Canadian law, the Senior Notes
are subject to redemption at the Companys option, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price
of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
In the event of a change in control, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase
the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. In addition, prior to December 1, 2006, under certain
conditions, the Company could have redeemed up to 35% of the Senior Notes with the proceeds of
certain equity offerings at 109.625% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. |
|
|
|
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes impose certain restrictions on its operating and financing
activities, including certain restrictions on the Companys ability to: incur certain additional
indebtedness; make certain distributions or certain other restricted payments; grant liens; create
certain dividend and other payment restrictions affecting the Companys subsidiaries; sell certain
assets or merge with or into other companies; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. |
|
|
|
As at December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding $159.0 million (2005 $159.0 million)
aggregate principal of Registered Senior Notes and $1.0 million (2005 $1.0 million) aggregate
principal of Unregistered Senior Notes. |
|
|
|
The terms of the Companys Senior Notes require that annual and quarterly financial statements are
filed with the Trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines. If these
financial reporting covenants are breached then this is considered an event of default under the
terms of the Senior Notes and the Company has 30 days to cure this default, after which the Senior
Notes become due and payable. |

Senior Notes due 2010 (contd) |
|
|
|
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the required public company filing deadline due to the discovery of
certain accounting errors, broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting
matters based on comments received by the Company from the SEC and OSC, and ultimately restated
financial statements for certain periods. The filing delay resulted in the Company being in default
of a financial reporting covenant under the indenture dated as of December 4, 2003, and as
thereafter amended and supplemented, governing the Companys Senior Notes due 2010 (the
Indenture). |
|
|
|
On April 16, 2007 the Company completed a consent solicitation, receiving consents from holders of
approximate 60% aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the Consenting Holders) to
execute a ninth supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the Indenture with the
Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association. The Supplemental Indenture waived any
defaults existing at such time arising from a failure by the Company to comply with the Indentures
reporting covenant requiring that annual and quarterly financial statements are filed with the
trustee within 15 days of the required public company filing deadlines, and extended until May 31,
2007, or at the Companys election until June 30, 2007 (the Covenant Reversion Date), the date by
which the Companys failure to comply with the reporting covenant shall constitute a default, or be
the basis for an event of default under the Indenture. The Company paid consent fees of $1.0
million to the Consenting Holders. On May 30, 2007, the Company provided notice to the holders of
the Senior Notes of its election to extend the Covenant Reversion Date to June 30, 2007. The
Company paid additional consent fees of $0.5 million to the Consenting Holders. Because the Company
did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 by June 30, 2007, it was in default of the
reporting covenant under the Indenture on July 1, 2007, and received notice of such default on July
2, 2007. The Company cured such default under the Indenture by filing its Original 2006 Form 10-K
and first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q on July 20, 2007. See note 16(f) for more information. |

|
Old Senior Notes due 2005 |
|
|
|
In December 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million of Senior Notes due December 1, 2005 bearing
interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum (the Old Senior Notes). |
|
|
|
During 2003, the Company retired an aggregate of $47.2 million principal amount of the Old Senior
Notes and completed a tender offer and consent solicitation for its remaining $152.8 million of the
Old Senior Notes. In December 2003, $123.6 million in principal of the Old Senior Notes were
redeemed pursuant to the tender offer. Notice of Redemption for all remaining outstanding Old
Senior Notes was delivered on December 4, 2003 and the remaining $29.2 million of outstanding Old
Senior Notes were redeemed on January 2, 2004. A loss of $0.8 million related to the retirement was
recorded in 2004. |
|
|
|
Interest expense on the Old Senior Notes amounted to less than $0.1 million in 2004. |

Credit Facility |
|
|
|
Under the Indenture governing the Companys Senior Notes, the Company is permitted to incur
indebtedness pursuant to a credit agreement, or the refinancing or replacement of a credit
facility, provided that the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness thereunder outstanding at
any time does not exceed the greater of a) $30,000,000 minus the amount of any such indebtedness
retired with the proceeds of an Asset Sale and (b) 15% of Total Assets of the Company, as defined
in the Indenture. The Indenture also permits the Company to incur indebtedness solely in respect of
performance, surety or appeal bonds, letters of credit and letters of guarantee as required in the
ordinary course of business in accordance with customary industry practices. On February 6, 2004,
the Company entered into a Loan Agreement for a secured revolving credit facility as amended on
June 30, 2005 and as further amended by the Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement which was
entered into with effect from May 16, 2006 (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is a
revolving credit facility expiring on October 31, 2009 with an optional one year renewal thereafter
contingent upon approval by the lender, permitting maximum aggregate borrowings equal to the lesser
of (i) $40.0 million, (ii) a collateral calculation based on percentages of the book values for the
Companys net investment in sales-type leases, financing receivables, finished goods inventory
allocated to backlog contracts and the appraised values of the expected future cash flows related
to operating leases and of the Companys owned real property, reduced by certain accruals and
accounts payable and (iii) a minimum level of trailing cash collections in the preceding twentysix
week period ($49.9 million as of December 31, 2006), reduced for outstanding letters of credit. As
at December 31, 2006, the Companys current borrowing capacity under such calculation is $28.7
million after deduction for outstanding letters of credit of $9.4 million. The Credit Facility
bears interest at the applicable prime rate per annum or LIBOR plus a margin as specified therein
per annum and is collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the current and
future assets of the Company. The Credit Facility contains typical affirmative and negative
covenants, including covenants that restrict the Companys ability to: incur certain additional
indebtedness; make certain loans, investments or guarantees; pay dividends; make certain asset
sales; incur certain liens or other encumbrances; conduct certain transactions with affiliates and
enter into certain corporate transactions. In addition, the Credit Facility agreement contains
customary events of default, including upon an acquisition or a change of control that may have a
material adverse effect on the Company or a guarantor. The Credit Facility also requires the
Company to maintain, over a period of time, a minimum level of adjusted earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization including film asset amortization, stock and other non-cash
compensation, write downs (recoveries), and asset impairment charges, and other non-cash uses of
funds on a trailing four quarter basis calculated quarterly, of not less than $20.0 million. In the
event that the Companys available borrowing base falls below the amount borrowed against the
Credit Facility, the excess above the available borrowing base becomes due upon demand by the
lender. If the Credit Facility were to be terminated by either the Company or the lender, the
Company would have the ability to pursue another source of financing pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture. |
|
|
|
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has to comply with several reporting
requirements including the delivery of audited consolidated financial statements within 120 days of
the end of the fiscal year. |
|
|
|
In March 2007, the Company delayed the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 beyond the filing deadline in order to restate financial statements for certain
periods during the fiscal years 2002 2006. On March 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender waived
the requirement for the Company to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within 120
days of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, provided such statements and documents
were delivered on or before June 30, 2007. On June 27, 2007, the Credit Facility lender agreed that
an event of default would not be deemed to have occurred unless the Companys 2006 Form 10-K filing
did not occur by July 31, 2007 or upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under
the Companys Indenture governing its Senior Notes, which has not been cured within the applicable
grace period. The Company cured such default under the Indenture by filing its Original 2006 Form
10-K and first quarter 2007 Form 10-Q on July 20, 2007. |

Contingencies and Guarantees |
|
|
|
The Company is involved in lawsuits, claims, and proceedings, including those identified below,
which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company will make a provision for a
liability when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. The
Company reviews these provisions in conjunction with any related provisions on assets related to

settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other pertinent information related to the case.
Should developments in any of these matters outlined below cause a change in the Companys
determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material
provision, or, should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for

In March 2005, the Company, together with Three-Dimensional Media Group, Ltd. (3DMG), filed
a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western
Division, against In-Three, Inc. (In-Three) alleging patent infringement. On March 10, 2006,
the Company and In-Three entered into a settlement agreement settling the dispute between the
Company and In-Three. On June 12, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California, Western Division, entered a stay in the proceedings against In-Three pending the
arbitration of disputes between the Company and 3DMG. Arbitration was initiated by the Company
against 3DMG on May 15, 2006 before the International Centre for Dispute Resolution in New
York, alleging breaches of the license and consulting agreements between the Company and 3DMG.
On June 15, 2006, 3DMG filed an answer denying any breaches and asserting counterclaims that
the Company breached the parties license agreement. On June 21, 2007, the Arbitration Panel
unanimously denied 3DMGs Motion for Summary Judgment filed on April 11, 2007 concerning the
Companys claims and 3DMGs counterclaims. On October 5, 2007, 3DMG amended its counterclaims
and added counterclaims from UNIPAT.ORG relating to fees allegedly owed to UNIPAT.ORG by the
Company. An evidentiary hearing on liability issues has been set for January 2008 with further
proceedings on damages issues to be scheduled if and when necessary. The Company will continue
to pursue its claims vigorously and believes that all allegations made by 3DMG are without
merit. The Company further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in connection
with the counterclaims would not have a material impact on the financial position or
operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate
outcome of the arbitration. |

In January 2004, the Company and IMAX Theater Services Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company,
commenced an arbitration seeking damages of approximately $3.7 million before the
International Court of Arbitration of the International Chambers of Commerce (the ICC) with
respect to the breach by Electronic Media Limited (EML) of its December 2000 agreement with
the Company. In June 2004, the Company commenced a related arbitration before the ICC against
EMLs affiliate, E-CITI Entertainment (I) PVT Limited (E-Citi), seeking $17.8 million in
damages as a result of E-Citis breach of a September 2000 lease agreement. The damages sought
against E-Citi included the original claim sought against EML. An arbitration hearing took
place in November 2005 against E-Citi, which included all claims by the Company. On February
1, 2006, the ICC issued an award on liability finding unanimously in the Companys favor on
all claims. Further hearings took place in July 2006 and December 2006. On August 24, 2007,
the ICC issued an awarded unanimously in favor of the Company in the amount of $9.4
million, consisting of past and future rents owed to the Company under its lease agreements,
plus interest and costs. In the award, the ICC upheld the validity and enforceability of the
Companys theater system contract. The Company has now submitted its application to the
arbitration panel for interest and costs and is awaiting the Panels decision on that issue. |

In June 2004, Robots of Mars, Inc. (Robots) initiated an arbitration proceeding against the
Company in California with the American Arbitration Association pursuant to an arbitration
provision in a 1994 film production agreement between Robots predecessor-in-interest and a
subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and intentional interference with contract. Robots is seeking an accounting of the
Companys revenues and an award of all sums alleged to be due to
Robots under the production
agreement, as well as punitive damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
arbitration proceeding and believes the amount of the loss, if any, that may be suffered in
connection with this proceeding will not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such arbitration. |

The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in eight
purported class action lawsuits filed between August 11, 2006 and September 18, 2006, alleging
violations of U.S. federal securities laws. These eight actions were filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. On January 18, 2007, the Court
consolidated all eight class action lawsuits and appointed Westchester Capital Management,
Inc. as the lead plaintiff and Abbey Spanier Rodd Abrams & Paradis LLP as lead plaintiffs
counsel. On October 2, 2007, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint.
The amended complaint, brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Companys common
stock between February 27, 2003 through July 30, 2007, alleges primarily that the defendants
engaged in securities fraud by disseminating materially false and misleading statements during
the class period regarding the Companys revenue recognition of theater system installations,
and failing to disclose material information concerning the Companys revenue recognition
practices. The amended complaint also adds PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, the Companys auditors, as a defendant. The
lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages, costs, and expenses. The lawsuit is at a very
early stage and as a result the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss exposure. The
Company believes the allegations made against it in the amended complaint are meritless and
will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
outcome of such proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy provides
for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as well as
potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits and deductibles. The
deadline for defendants to respond to the amended complaint is currently December 3, 2007. |

A class action lawsuit was filed on September 20, 2006 in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, alleging violations of
Canadian securities laws. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of shareholders who acquired the
Companys securities between February 17, 2006 and August 9, 2006. The lawsuit is in a very
early stage and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs and
expenses. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate a potential loss exposure. The
Company believes the allegations made against it in the statement of claim are meritless and
will vigorously defend the matter, although no assurance can be given with respect to the
ultimate outcome of such proceedings. The Companys directors and officers insurance policy
provides for reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred in connection with this lawsuit as
well as potential damages awarded, if any, subject to certain policy limits and deductibles. |

On September 7, 2007, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II, a holder of the Companys Senior
Notes (Catalyst), commenced an application against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of
Justice for a declaration of oppression pursuant to s. 229 and 241 of the Canada Business
Corporations Act (CBCA) and for a declaration that the Company is in default of the Indenture
governing its Senior Notes. The allegations of oppression are substantially the same as allegations
Catalyst made in a May 10, 2007 complaint filed against the Company in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, and subsequently withdrawn on October 12, 2007, wherein Catalyst challenged the
validity of the consent solicitation through which the Company requested and obtained a waiver of
any and all defaults arising from a failure to comply with the reporting covenant under the
Indenture and alleged common law fraud. Catalyst has also requested the appointment of an inspector
and an order that an investigation be carried out pursuant to s. 229 of the CBCA. In addition,
between March 2007 and October 2007, Catalyst has sent the Company eight purported notices of
default or acceleration under the Indenture. It is the Companys position that no default or event
of default (as those terms are defined in the Indenture) has occurred or is continuing under the
Indenture and, accordingly, that Catalysts purported acceleration notice is of no force or effect.
The Company is in the process of responding to the Ontario application and a hearing is scheduled
to take place on January 15 and 16, 2008. The litigation is at a
preliminary stage and as a result, the Company is not able to estimate a potential loss exposure. The Company believes this
application is entirely without merit and plans to contest it vigorously and seek costs from
Catalyst, although no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of the proceedings. |
|
(g) |

In addition to the matters described above, the Company is currently involved in other legal
proceedings which, in the opinion of the Companys management, will not materially affect the
Companys financial position or future operating results, although no assurance can be given
with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings. |

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may contain
features that meet the FIN 45 definition of a guarantee. FIN 45 defines a guarantee to be a
contract (including an indemnity) that contingently requires the Company to make payments
(either in cash, financial instruments, other assets, shares of its stock or provision of
services) to a third party based on (a) changes in an underlying interest rate, foreign
exchange rate, equity or commodity instrument, index or other variable, that is related to an
asset, a liability or an equity security of the counterparty, (b) failure of another party to
perform under an obligating agreement or (c) failure of another third party to pay its
indebtedness when due. |

Director/Officer Indemnifications |
|
|
|
The Companys General By-law contains an indemnification of its directors/officers, former
directors/officers and persons who have acted at its request to be a director/officer of an entity
in which the Company is a shareholder or creditor, to indemnify them, to the extent permitted by
the Canada Business Corporations Act, against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, fines and
any amount actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding in which the directors and/or officers are sued as a result of their service, if they
acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company. The nature of
the indemnification prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential
amount it could be required to pay to counterparties. The Company has purchased directors and
officers liability insurance. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2006, with respect to this indemnity. |
|
|
|
Other Indemnification Agreements |
|
|
|
In the normal course of the Companys operations, it provides indemnifications to counterparties in
transactions such as: theater system lease and sale agreements and the supervision of installation
or servicing of the theater systems; film production, exhibition and distribution agreements; real
property lease agreements; and employment agreements. These indemnification agreements require the
Company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of litigation claims that
may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction or the Companys breach or
non-performance under these agreements. While the terms of these indemnification agreements vary
based upon the contract, they normally extend for the life of the agreements. A small number of
agreements do not provide for any limit on the maximum potential amount of indemnification, however
virtually all of the Companys system lease and sale agreements limit such maximum potential
liability to the purchase price of the system. The fact that the maximum potential amount of
indemnification required by the Company is not specified in some cases prevents the Company from
making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to
counterparties. Historically, the Company has not made any significant payments under such
indemnifications and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements with respect to the contingent aspect of these indemnities. |

In 2006, the Company cancelled 103,083 stock options from its Stock Option Plan (2005 28,402,
2004 1,305,134) surrendered by Company employees for $nil consideration. Compensation cost
recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options cancelled. As at December
31, 2006, 4,954,174 options are fully vested or are expected to vest with a weighted average
exercise price of $7.10, aggregate intrinsic value of $0.4 million and weighted average remaining
contractual life of 4.5 years. As at December 31, 2006, options that are exercisable have an
intrinsic value of $0.4 million and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 1.9 years. The
intrinsic value of options exercised in 2006 was $0.5 (2005 $3.4 million, 2004 $0.6 million).
Not included in the table above are 547,786 options granted during the year ended December 31, 2006
(2005 241,500) that the Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2006, exceeded, by
approximately 1.6%, certain cap limits for grants set by its Stock Option Plan. These options were
granted with a weighted average exercise price of $10.39 (2005 $9.59). Of these options, during
2006, 37,000 options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.89 were forfeited (2005 nil)
and 3,000 with a weighted average exercise price of $9.59 were cancelled for no consideration (2005
- nil). The number of these options outstanding as at December 31, 2006 was 749,286 (2005
241,500) with a weighted average exercise price of $10.69 (2005 $9.59). The number of these
options exercisable as at December 31, 2006 was 63,792 (2005 nil) with a weighted average
exercise price of $9.89 (2005 nil). As the Company intended to settle the obligations for a
significant number of these options in cash, these options have been treated as liability-based
awards as at December 31, 2006 with an amount of $0.3 included in accrued liabilities. 20,750 of
such options were forfeited in May 2007, 195,286 of such options were voluntarily surrendered by
the Co-CEOs and members of the Board of Directors for no consideration in June 2007; and 533,250 of
such options were settled for cash in June 2007 in an amount of $0.5 million. Compensation cost
recognized up to the cancellation date was not reversed for the options cancelled.

Restricted Common Shares |
|
|

Under the terms of certain employment agreements dated July 12, 2000, the Company is required to
issue either 160,000 restricted common shares for no consideration or pay their cash equivalent.
The restricted shares are required to be issued, or payment of their cash equivalent, upon request
by the employees at any time. The aggregate intrinsic value of the awards outstanding is $0.6
million. The Company accounts for the obligation as a liability, which is classified within accrued
liabilities. The Company has recorded a recovery of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2006 (2005 $0.2 million recovery, 2004 $0.1 million expense), due to the changes in the
Companys stock price during the period. |

Options and Warrants Granted to Non-Employees |
|
|
|
In 2006, an aggregate of 76,654 (2005 53,340, 2004 53,340) options to purchase the Companys
common shares with an average exercise price of $7.79 (2005 $9.74, 2004 $6.09) were issued to
certain advisors and strategic partners of the Company. The options have a maximum contractual life
of seven years. Certain of these options vest immediately and the remainder upon the occurrence of
certain events. These options were granted under the Stock Option Plan. As at December 31, 2006,
non-employee options outstanding amounted to 116,659 options (2005 40,005) with a
weighted-average exercise price of $8.54 (2005 $9.96). 106,659 options (2005 40,005) were
exercisable with an average weighted exercise price of $8.50 (2005 $9.96) and the vested options
have an aggregate intrinsic value of less than $0.1 million. The Company has calculated the fair
value of these options to non-employees to be $0.3 million (2005 $0.3 million, 2004 $0.2
million), utilizing a Binomial option-pricing model with the following underlying assumptions for
the year ended December 31: |

During 2006, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $1.1 million (2005 $nil, 2004 -
$0.8 million) consisting of asset impairment charges of $0.1 million relating to an owned and
operated theater and $1.0 million relating to property, plant and equipment upon the determination
that certain assets were no longer in use by the Company or that the expected future use would be
significantly reduced as a result of the Companys current business plans. In addition, during 2006
the Company revised its estimate on the realizability of its residual values on certain of its
sales-type leases and charged $0.1 million to asset impairment. An asset impairment charge of $0.8
million was recorded in 2004 due to lower volumes relating to 2D Camera rentals. The expected
future cash flows of these assets did not support their recoverability.

accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2. The Company has
revised its segment information in the current year. The prior years information has been restated
to conform to the current presentation. |
|
|
|
Transactions between the film production and IMAX DMR segment and the film post-production segment
are valued at exchange value. Inter-segment profits are eliminated upon consolidation, as well as
for the disclosures below. |
|
|
|
Transactions between the other segments are not significant. |
|
|
|
The Companys Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODM), as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
(SFAS 131), assess segment performance based on segment revenues and gross margins. Selling,
general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, amortization of intangibles,
receivables provisions (recoveries), interest revenue, interest expense and tax provision
(recovery) are not allocated to the segments. |

Financial Instruments |
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The
Companys cash is invested with highly rated financial institutions.
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency rates. A majority portion of
the Companys revenues is denominated in U.S. dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and
expenses is denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar cash flows of the
Company is periodically converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the
spot market. In Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses related to its operations. Net
Japanese yen cash flows are converted to U.S. dollars generally through the spot markets. The
Company also has cash receipts under leases denominated in Japanese yen and Euros which are
converted to U.S. dollars generally through the spot market. As at December 31, 2006, no foreign
currency forward contracts are outstanding. The Company does not use financial instruments for
trading or other speculative purposes.
The carrying values of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts
receivable, financing receivables due within one year, accounts payable and certain accrued
liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The
Companys other financial instruments at December 31 are comprised of the following:

The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes due 2010 are estimated based on traded prices as at
December 31, 2006 and long-term receivables are estimated based on discounting at currently
available interest rates as at December 31, 2006, for loans with similar terms.
The Companys accounts receivables and financing receivables are subject to credit risk. The
Companys accounts receivables and financing receivables are concentrated with the theater
exhibition industry and filmed entertainment industry.
To minimize the Companys credit risk, the Company retains title to underlying theater systems
leased, performs initial and ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and makes ongoing
provisions for its estimate of potentially uncollectible amounts. The Company believes it has
adequately provided for related exposures surrounding receivables and contractual commitments.

Employee Pensions and Postretirement Benefits |
|
(a) |
|
Defined Benefit Pension Plan |
The Company has an unfunded U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the SERP, covering its two Co-CEOs.
The SERP provides for a lifetime retirement benefit from age 55 determined as 75% of the members
best average 60 consecutive months of earnings during the 120 months preceding retirement.

|
Employee Pensions and Postretirement Benefits (contd) |
|
(a) |
|
Defined Benefit Pension Plan (contd) |
Under the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed annually
to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving spouse.
On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP which reduced the
related pension expense to the Company. Under the terms of the SERP amendment, to reduce ongoing
costs to the Company, the cost of living adjustment and surviving spouse benefits previously owed
to the Co-CEOs are each reduced by 50%, subject to a recoupment of a percentage of such benefits
upon a change of control of the Company, and the net present value of the reduced pension benefit
payments is accelerated and paid out upon a change of control of the Company. The amendment
resulted in reduction of the accrued pension liability by $6.2 million, a reduction in other assets
of $3.4 million and a past services credit of $2.8 million. The benefits were 50% vested as of July
2000, the SERP initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a straight-line basis from
inception until age 55. The vesting percentage of a member whose employment terminates other than
by voluntary retirement or upon a change in control shall be 100%. As of December 31, 2006, one of
the Co-CEOs benefits was 100% vested while the other Co-CEOs benefits were approximately 82%
vested.
Effective March 1, 2006, the Company changed the form of benefit payment. A Co-CEO whose employment
terminates other than for cause prior to August 1, 2010 will receive benefits in the form of
monthly annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or August 1, 2010 at which time
the Co-CEO shall receive the remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum payment. A Co-CEO who
retires on or after August 1, 2010 shall receive benefits in the form of a lump sum payment.
The following assumptions were used in determining the obligation and cost status of the Companys
SERP at the plan measurement dates of December 31:

Prior service costs of $3.6 million and $5.0 million were
included in other assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The unrecognized actuarial loss for the years ended December 2005 and
2004 represents the portion of the additional minimum liability in
excess of unrecognized prior service costs recognized as other assets. |
No contributions are expected to be made for the SERP during 2007. The Company expects prior
services credits of $0.9 million to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in
2007.
The following benefit payments are expected to be made as per the current SERP assumptions and the
terms of the SERP in each of the next five years, and in the aggregate:

Each of the Co-CEOs shall receive a lump sum payment in
2010 provided he retires prior to August 1, 2010. The SERP assumptions
include the payment of a lump sum payment. |
At the time the Company established the SERP, it also took out life insurance policies on its
two Co-CEOs with coverage amounts of $21.5 million in aggregate to which the Company is the
beneficiary. The Company intends to use the cash surrender value proceeds of life insurance
policies taken on its Co-CEOs to be applied towards the benefits due and payable under the SERP,
although there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately do so. At December 31, 2006,
the cash surrender value of the insurance policies is $4.3 million (2005 $3.3 million) and has
been included in other assets.
(b) |
|
Defined Contribution Pension Plan |
The Company also maintains defined contribution pension plans for its employees, including its
executive officers. The Company makes contributions to these plans on behalf of employees in an
amount up to 5% of their base salary subject to certain prescribed maximums. During 2006, the
Company contributed and expensed an aggregate of $0.8 million (2005 $0.6 million, 2004 $0.5
million) to its Canadian plan and an aggregate of $0.7 million (2005 $0.2 million, 2004 $0.1
million) to its defined contribution employee pension plan under Section 401(k) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code.
(c) |
|
Postretirement Benefits |
The Company has an unfunded postretirement plan covering its two Co-CEOs. The plan provides that
the Company will maintain health benefits for the Co-CEOs until they become eligible for medicare
and, thereafter, the Company will provide Medicare supplement coverage as selected by the Co-CEO.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) (FIN 48). This interpretation prescribes a more
likely than not recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also provided guidance on derecognition of a tax position, classification of a liability for
unrecognized tax benefits, accounting or interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and
expanded income tax disclosures. FIN 48 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle to be recorded in the first quarter of 2007
upon adoption of FIN 48 is an increase to the tax liability of $2.1 million and a charge to opening
shareholders deficit.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (contd) |
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for
interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of this statement.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB
Statements No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows the irrevocable election of fair value as the
initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities and other
items on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Changes in fair value would be reflected in earnings as
they occur. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with
the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The
Company is currently evaluating if it will elect the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items.

Discontinued Operations |

(a) |
|
Miami Theater LLC |
On December 23, 2003, the Company closed its owned and operated Miami IMAX theater. The Company
completed its abandonment of assets and removal of its projection system from the theater in the
first quarter of 2004, with no financial impact. The Company was involved in an arbitration
proceeding with the landlord of the theater with respect to the amount owing to the landlord by the
Company for lease and guarantee obligations. The amount of loss to the Company was estimated at
between $0.9 million and $2.3 million for which the Company accrued $0.9 million. Prior to 2006,
the Company paid out $0.8 million, with an additional $0.1 million paid in 2006. On January 5,
2007, as a result of a settlement negotiated between both parties, the Company paid out an
additional $0.8 million, extinguishing its obligations to the landlord. This final payment of $0.8
million was accrued by the Company in 2006.
(b) |

Digital Projection International |
On December 29, 2005, the Company and a previously wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Projection
International (DPI), entered into an agreement to settle its loan agreements in exchange for a
payment of $3.5 million. During 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $1.2
million, respectively, in income from discontinued operations as a result of this settlement.

In certain Guarantor Subsidiaries, accumulated losses have exceeded the original investment
balance. As a result of applying equity accounting, the parent company has consequently reduced
intercompany receivable balances with respect to these Guarantor Subsidiaries in the amounts of
$29.4 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
29. |
|
Summary of Significant Differences Between Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in
the United States and Canada |
The accounting principles followed by the Company conform with U.S. GAAP. Significant differences
affecting the Company between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP are summarized below.
(a) |
|
Fixed Asset Impairments |
The amount of fixed asset impairments under U.S. GAAP are calculated based on a discounted future
cash flow basis. Under Canadian GAAP, prior to January 1, 2002, the amount of impairments were
calculated based on an undiscounted future cash flow basis. Any differences resulted in higher
depreciation for the remaining useful life of the assets.
(b) |
|
Stock-Based Compensation |
Under U.S. GAAP, prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under
the intrinsic value method set out in APB 25 and has made pro forma disclosures of net earnings
(loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the methodology prescribed by SFAS 123 had been adopted.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Company adopted the fair value provisions of CICA Section 3870,
Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments (CICA Section 3870), effective January
1, 2003. As of this date, stock options granted to employees or directors are recorded as an
expense in the consolidated statement of operations and credited to other equity.
Effective January 1, 2006, under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective transition method. The Companys consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition
method, the Companys consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to
reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. There were no differences between stock-based
compensation expense recognized by the Company under SFAS 123R and under CICA Section 3870 for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
(c) |
|
Pension Asset and Liability |
Effective December 31, 2006, under U.S. GAAP, the Company adopted SFAS 158 which resulted in an
increase of $0.8 million, net of income tax of $0.3 million, to accumulated other comprehensive
income, representing unrecognized prior service credits of $0.8 million. Under Canadian GAAP, the
unrecognized net losses, prior service credits and the corresponding amounts in accumulated other
comprehensive income are not recorded.
As at December 31, 2005, under U.S. GAAP, included in accrued liabilities is a minimum pension
liability of $6.4 million representing unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized actuarial
gains or losses. An amount of $3.6 million at December 31, 2005 was included in other assets,
representing unrecognized prior service costs. Under U.S. GAAP, an amount $2.8 million as at
December 31, 2005 is recorded against accumulated other comprehensive income, resulting from an
unrecognized actuarial loss. Under Canadian GAAP, the minimum pension liability, and the
corresponding amounts included in other assets and accumulated other comprehensive income are not
recorded.
As described in note 4, the Company has restated its 2004, 2005 and 2006 financial statements for
certain errors. The 2004, 2005 and 2006 Reconciliation to Canadian GAAP has also been restated for
the same items as described in note 4.

QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)
The following financial data presents the impact of the Companys restatement of its previous
issued consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for each of the quarters ended March
31, 2006; June 30, 2006; September 30, 2006; March 31, 2005; June 30, 2005; September 30, 2005; and
December 31, 2005 (refer to note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a
description of the nature of the adjustments). The quarter ended December 31, 2006 has not been
previously reported.
The Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
periods presented have been made. These amounts have been restated to reflect the correction of
errors identified in the Companys restatements.
Certain previously reported figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted
in the current year. Specifically, commissions and other deferred selling costs have been
reclassified from finished goods and work in process inventory to other assets and accrued
liabilities. Also, billed receivables and related provisions have been reclassified from accounts
receivable to financing receivables.
Consolidated Balance Sheets
(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
The following tables summarize the adjustments to the consolidated balance sheets (refer to note 4

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, to allow
timely discussions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the
effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of
human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even
effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their control objectives.
The Companys management, with the participation of its Co-CEOs and its CFO have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2006. Based on that
evaluation and because of the identification of certain material weaknesses in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting, as discussed in Managements Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting below, the Co-CEOs and the CFO have concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2006
BACKGROUND
In March 2007, the Company announced that it would delay the filing of the Original 2006 Form
10-K and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 due to the
discovery of certain accounting errors, mostly in the area of film accounting and inventory
capitalization.
The Company subsequently broadened its accounting review to include certain other accounting
matters, based on comments the Company received from the SEC and OSC. In connection with this
review, the Company has identified certain errors related to: (a) revenue recognition resulting
from the Companys review of its theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to
the aforementioned comments, which indicated insufficient analysis of various sales and lease
transactions and the accounting effect of certain contractual provisions within them; and
misallocations of consideration to elements within certain multiple element arrangements; (b)
capitalization of costs into inventory and films assets and amortization of film assets in
accordance with SOP 00-2; (c) income tax liabilities resulting from failure to make certain tax
elections on a timely basis and (d) certain other items described under Other Adjustments in note 4
of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8. The consolidated financial
statements for the prior periods presented have been restated to reflect these error corrections
under U.S. GAAP. (The more significant items resulting in the restatement are described more fully
in both Item 6 and note 4 of the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements in Item 8.)
These errors were identified during the Companys accounting review and in conjunction with
the Companys year-end audit. Over the course of such audit, the Company and its independent
auditors identified a number of material weaknesses in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting, as discussed more fully below.
During the Companys accounting review, it concluded its policy for revenue recognition on
theater systems should be revised to treat all components of the theater system (including the
projector, sound system, and screen system and, if applicable, 3D glasses cleaning machine),
theater design support, supervision of installation, projectionist training and the use of the IMAX
brand as a single deliverable and a single unit of accounting. In addition, the Company revised its
policy to recognize revenue only when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the
projector, sound system and screen system have been installed and are in full working condition,
(ii) the 3D glasses cleaning machine, if applicable, has been delivered, (iii) the projectionist
training has been completed and (iv) the earlier of (a) receipt of written customer acceptance
certifying the completion of installation and run-in testing of the equipment and the completion of
projection training or (b) public opening of the theater. For additional information regarding the
revised revenue recognition policy, see note 2 of the accompanying audited consolidated financial
statements in Item 8.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (contd)
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (contd)
In October 2007,
the Company announced that it would amend the Original 2006 Form 10-K due to
the discovery of an accounting error related to its treatment of certain real estate lease
arrangements. As a result of the assessment, in late August 2007, of the accounting treatment of a
recent rent abatement agreement relating to one of the Companys owned and operated theaters, the
Company conducted a review of all of its real estate lease arrangements and determined that
historically it had recorded similar rent reductions in
the period in which such reductions were received, rather than on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. The Companys review also identified errors in the accounting for certain leasehold
incentives. These errors resulted in the further restatement of the Companys financial statements
reflected in this Form 10-K/A. The Companys review of the above
mentioned rent-abatement agreement was initiated in connection with
the higher level of Finance Department oversight and awareness.
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for the Company.
Management has used the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework to assess the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that such internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2006 due to the material weaknesses identified and
discussed below.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material
weaknesses have been identified and included in managements assessment as of December 31, 2006:
Page 161
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (contd)
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (contd)
Application of U.S. GAAP
Six of the Companys material weaknesses relate to controls over the analysis and review of
certain transactions to be able to correctly apply U.S. GAAP to record those transactions. The
financial impact of these material weaknesses on the Companys restated financial results was
principally related to the analysis and review of transactions which were complex or nonstandard.
These material weaknesses are:
|
1. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over the
analysis and review of revenue recognition for sales and lease transactions in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to correctly assess the
identification of deliverables and their aggregation into units of accounting and in certain
cases the point when certain units of accounting were substantially complete to allow for
revenue recognition on a theater system. |
|
|
|
|
After reviewing its revenue recognition policy in conjunction with the announced review of its
theater system arrangements over the past 5 years in response to comments received from the
staff of both the SEC and the OSC, the Company concluded that it had incorrectly assessed the
determination of deliverables in its theater systems arrangements. The term deliverables is
not explicitly defined in any accounting literature. The determination of a deliverable
requires significant judgment and can be influenced by the terms of the arrangement between a
vendor and its customer, the customers perspective of the deliverables, the interaction of
the separate elements that could make up a single deliverable and other facts and
circumstances unique to a transaction. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, in connection with its review of system sale and lease transactions during the
period 2002 through 2006, the Company identified additional errors resulting from ineffective
controls relating to the following, among others: |
|
§ |
|
Based on an analysis of fair values of elements within its arrangements, the
Company determined that the allocations of consideration received and receivable to
elements of multiple element arrangements were not updated to reflect the current
fair values of particular elements, in particular fair values of maintenance and
extended warranty services in the periods affected were not updated in accordance
with the accounting guidance in EITF 00-21 and other applicable standards. This
affected allocations to the System Deliverable, maintenance and extended warranty
services, 3D glasses and film license credits. In addition, in certain arrangements,
settlement income was adjusted to reflect the residual amount based on other elements
being reflected at their fair values. |
|
|
§
|
|
The existence of certain non-standard contractual provisions resulted in: the
reclassification of certain sales arrangements to sales-type lease transactions for
accounting purposes when the customer was not granted title to the system until all
payments were made, and certain sales-type leases to operating leases given
substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership had not passed to the
customer; and the timing of recognition of the minimum annual payments under certain
arrangements. |
|
|
§
|
|
Settlement revenue was recognized on a MPX upgrade which was conditional upon the
Company meeting certain conditions which were ultimately not met during the year. The
Company has deferred the amount of settlement revenue awaiting installation of an
alternate theater system configuration. |
|
|
§
|
|
Finance income continued to be recognized when the related financing receivables
were impaired. The Company has revised its procedures and discontinued the
recognition of finance income until the impairment issues were resolved. |

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (contd)
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (contd)
|
2. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over
accounting for film transactions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective
controls were not maintained related to the classification and accurate recording of
marketing and advertising costs of co-produced film productions, production fees on
co-produced films and the application of the individual-film forecast computation method to
film assets, participation liabilities and deferred production fees. |
|
|
|
|
The Company determined that it had misclassified certain costs incurred in respect of
co-produced film productions between 2004 and 2006. Marketing and advertising costs were
co-mingled with film production costs, and both were capitalized to film assets and
subsequently amortized into the income statement over the estimated total ultimate revenues
associated with the film productions. Film exploitation costs, which include marketing and
advertising costs, as defined in SOP 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films,
should be expensed in the period incurred and not capitalized to film assets. In addition,
certain costs were accrued by the Company prior to being incurred. These costs have been moved
to the period in which they were incurred. On certain co-produced film productions the Company
received production fees which should have been deferred and recognized over the estimated
ultimate revenues. These production fees were previously recognized when production of the
film was complete. The Company also determined that it had not correctly applied the
individual-film-forecast computation method when it amortized its film assets and deferred
production fees and accrued its participation liabilities for the periods between 2002 and
2006. SOP 00-2 requires changes in estimates of ultimate revenues used in the
individual-film-forecast computation method to be adjusted prospectively from the beginning of
the year of the change. The Company had applied changes in estimates on a retroactive basis
from the original release date. In addition, the Company adjusted its amortization of prepaid
print costs. A related material weakness was previously identified in the Companys June 30,
2006, Form 10-Q filing, and had not yet been remediated as at December 31, 2006. |
|
|
3. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls, including period-end controls, over the
accounting for contract origination costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained related to the classification of fees paid to a
professional services firm. |
|
|
|
|
During the period from 2001 to 2006, the Company paid certain fees to a professional services
firm to assist the Company in identifying sales opportunities and provide assistance in
negotiating and concluding contracts in the developing Asian market. These fees were
capitalized and allocated to theater systems inventory for various Asian customers. The
Company has determined that these fees were promotional and selling expenses which should have
been expensed as incurred as the costs were not direct and incremental costs to a contract. |
|
|
4. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the complete and accurate recording of
postretirement benefits other than pensions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant
contractual provisions within its executive employment contracts. During the preparation of
executive compensation information for the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company
determined that the two Co-CEOs were entitled to postretirement health benefits since 2000
for which the obligation had not been included in the prior financial statements as required
under SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions. |
|
5. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls, including period-end controls, over the
complete and accurate recording of transactions related to real estate lease arrangements for
owned and operated theaters and corporate offices in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically,
effective controls were not maintained over the complete identification of all relevant
contractual provisions including lease inducements, construction allowances, rent holidays,
escalation clauses and lease commencement dates. In addition, adequate controls were not
maintained over the accurate recording of rent abatements received in subsequent periods. |
Each of the control deficiencies referred to above contributed to the restatement to the
Companys consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2002 through 2006, its
consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and
its consolidated financial statements for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and
September 30, 2006, and an audit adjustment to the Companys 2006 annual consolidated financial
statements, affecting principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and
administrative expenses, accounts receivable, financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses,
film assets, fixed assets, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred
revenue, and related disclosures including postretirement benefits.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (contd)
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING (contd)
|
6. |
|
The Company did not maintain effective controls over the intraperiod allocation of the
provision for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, effective controls
were not in place such that the tax provisions were appropriately allocated to continuing
operations, discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. This control
deficiency resulted in an audit adjustment to the Companys 2006 annual consolidated
financial statements, affecting the provisions for income taxes, net earnings from
discontinued operations, and accumulated other comprehensive income. |
Cross-departmental Communication
Two of the Companys material weaknesses relate to controls over the lines of communication
between different departments. These material weaknesses are:
|
7. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the lines of communication between
operational departments and the Finance Department related to revenue recognition for sales
and lease transactions. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained to raise on a
timely basis certain issues relating to observations of the installation process, any
remaining installation or operating obligations, and concessions on contractual terms that
may impact the accuracy and timing of revenue recognition. This control deficiency
contributed to the restatement to the Companys consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2002 through 2005, its consolidated financial statements for each of
the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2005 and its consolidated financial statements
for each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2006, and audit
adjustments to the Companys 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, affecting
principally revenues, costs of goods sold, selling, general, and administrative expenses,
financing receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, other assets, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, and related disclosures. |
|
|
8. |
|
The Company did not maintain adequate controls over the timely communication between
departments of information relating to developing issues that may impact the Companys
financial reporting. Specifically, effective controls were not maintained over the status of
a review of cap limits under the Companys Stock Option Plan that affected the recording and
related disclosure of stock-based compensation benefits. In October 2006, the Company
initiated an internal review and involved external legal counsel to review the definitions
within the Stock Option Plan and the various stock exchanges upon which the Companys shares
are issued to determine whether or not certain grants had, by definition, exceeded certain
cap limits under its Stock Option Plan. Although analysis was still ongoing, this issue
should have been communicated to the Finance Department while financial statements were being
prepared for the September 30, 2006, Form 10-Q filing. This control deficiency contributed to
a restatement of the Companys September 30, 2006 financial statements, affecting accrued
liabilities, other equity and selling, general and administrative expenses, and related
disclosures. |
In addition to the restatements and audit adjustments referred to above, each of these control
deficiencies above could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or
disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial
statements that would not be prevented or detected. Management determined that each of these
control deficiencies discussed above constitutes a material weakness at December 31, 2006.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP,
which has audited the Companys consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2006, has also audited managements assessment of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting under Auditing Standard No. 2 of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board. See Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm on pages 76
to 78.

REMEDIATION PLAN
The Companys management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, are committed to remediating its
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting by enhancing existing controls and
introducing new controls in all necessary areas. The smooth functioning of the Companys finance
area is of the highest priority for the Companys management. Remediation activities will include
the following specifics:
The Company will strengthen U.S. GAAP awareness throughout all levels of the Finance
Department to help prevent material misstatements. The objective of strengthening U.S. GAAP
awareness is to enable personnel throughout all levels of the Finance department to recognize
complex or atypical situations in the day-to-day operations which may require further analysis.
Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective effectively.
The Company will enhance cross-functional communications to assist in preventing material
misstatements. The objective of enhancing cross-functional communications is to provide an
effective forum through which all relevant information pertaining to transactions could be sought
by, and communicated to, the Finance Department for consideration of accounting implications.
Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective most effectively and
efficiently.
The Company has revised its revenue recognition policy in the second quarter of 2007. The
Company will enhance its controls in this area by documenting a detailed analysis for all sales and
lease transactions to help ensure that the timing of revenue recognition is appropriate, and that
all contractual provisions have been sufficiently considered in determining the timing and amounts
of revenues to be recognized. As well, to assist in detecting material misstatements, the Company
will enhance its period-end reviews of sales and lease transactions to specifically consider
whether the accounting for these transactions is in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for film transactions. To assist in
preventing material misstatements, the Company will enhance its review of new film transactions for
complexities that may impact the accounting for the transaction and treatment within the films
ultimate model. As well, to assist in detecting material misstatements, the Company will enhance
its period-end reviews of film accounting to specifically consider whether revenues and costs are
being treated in accordance with SOP 00-2.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for costs related to inventory. To assist
in preventing material misstatements, the Company will develop guidelines regarding the nature of
costs that could be capitalized to inventory with appropriate references to U.S. GAAP, which would
be distributed to personnel involved with inventory costs. As well, to assist in detecting material
misstatements, the Company will enhance its period-end reviews of the inventory balances to
specifically consider whether the nature of the costs that comprise inventory balances are in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company will enhance its controls to capture all postretirement benefits other than
pensions included within executive employment contracts. Management is currently considering
various ways of meeting this objective efficiently and effectively.
The Company will enhance its controls in accounting for intraperiod allocations of income
taxes. Management is currently considering various ways of meeting this objective effectively.
The Company will enhance its controls in reviewing its real estate lease arrangements to
determine the correct accounting treatment. Management is currently considering various ways of
meeting this objective effectively.
The Companys management, including the Co-CEOs and CFO, is committed to implementing its
remediation plan as soon as practicable.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Companys compensation programs are designed to attract and retain key employees,
motivating them to achieve and reward them for superior performance. The Company believes that the
most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of
annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns the executives interests
with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate
objective of improving stockholder value. The Company evaluates both performance and compensation
to ensure that the Companys compensation philosophy and objectives are met and that compensation
provided to the executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly
situated executives. To that end, the Company believes executive compensation packages provided to
its executives, including the Named Executive Officers, as defined in the Summary Compensation
Table below, should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as
measured against established goals.
Based on the foregoing philosophy and objectives, the Company has structured its annual and
long-term incentive-based cash and non-cash executive compensation to motivate executives to
achieve the business goals set by the Company and reward the executives for achieving such goals.
Executive Compensation Components and Process
Compensation decisions for the Co-CEOs with respect of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006, and the renewal of the Co-CEOs employment agreements in February 2007, were made by the
Independent Directors acting as the Compensation Committee. The following five board members are
Independent Directors: Messrs. Braun, Copland, Girvan, Leebron and Utay.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting objectives for the Co-CEOs, assessing
their performance on a periodic basis and recommending compensation arrangements to the Board of
Directors. The Compensation Committee operates under a written mandate, the Compensation Committee
Charter, adopted by the Companys Board of Directors. In 2006, the Compensation Committee was
composed of Messrs. Girvan and Fuchs, both Independent Directors. Mr. Fuchs did not stand for
re-election to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting of shareholders on April 12, 2006.
Following that date, the duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee were and
continue to be performed by the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors participated in
all decisions concerning the renewal of the employment agreements of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler
and the fixing of their compensation in respect of 2006.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Mercer Human Resources Consulting (Mercer)
was retained by the Independent Directors in reviewing various aspects of the compensation packages
for the Co-CEOs in connection with the renewal of their employment agreements and certain analyses
regarding the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.
Page 169
IMAX CORPORATION
Item 11. Executive Compensation (contd)
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (contd)
Executive Compensation Components and Process (contd)
The compensation of the Companys employees was established through guidelines set by the
Board of Directors. Decisions regarding the equity and non-equity compensation of other executive
officers are made by the Co-CEOs and in the case of equity incentive compensation approved by the
Options Committee. The Co-CEOs annually review the performance of each member of the executive
team, including the Named Executive Officers, and certain conclusions are reached and
recommendations based on these reviews, including decisions with respect to base salary,
performance-based incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation are
implemented by the Company.
In making compensation decisions, the Company compares each element of total compensation
against a peer group of publicly-traded companies. The Company uses general peer group survey data
provided by Mercer, which includes data from comparator companies based on headcount, geography and
total revenue. The Company competes with many larger companies for top executive-level talent. As
such, the Company generally sets compensation for executives at the 75th percentile of compensation
paid to similarly situated executives of the companies comprising the peer group. Variations to
this objective may occur as dictated by the experience level of the individual and market factors.
A significant percentage of total compensation is allocated to incentives as a result of the
philosophy mentioned above. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between
either cash and non-cash or short-term and long-term incentive compensation. Rather, the Company
annually determines the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation. Income from such
incentive compensation is realized as a result of the performance of the Company or the individual,
depending on the type of award, compared to established goals.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the principal components of compensation for
Named Executive Officers were:
|
|
|
base salary; |
|
|
|
|
performance-based incentive compensation; |
|
|
|
|
long-term equity incentive compensation; |
|
|
|
|
pension plans; and |
|
|
|
|
other personal benefits and perquisites. |
Base Salary
The Company provides employees, including the Named Executive Officers, with base salary to
compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary ranges for Named
Executive Officers are determined for each executive based on his or her position and
responsibility by using market data. Base salary ranges are designed so that salary opportunities
for a given position will be between 80% and 110% of the midpoint of the base salary established
for each range.
During its review of base salaries for executives, the Company primarily considers: market
data provided by the Companys outside consultants; internal review of the executives
compensation, both individually and relative to other executive officers; and individual
performance of the executive.
Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of the Companys performance review
process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Merit based increases to
salaries of the Co-CEOs are based on the Compensation Committees assessment of the individuals
performance.
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
The Named Executive Officers, other than the Co-CEOs, receive a portion of their annual
compensation in the form of cash bonuses under the Management Bonus Plan. Bonuses are awarded under
this plan based on the Company achieving annual operating objectives targets and the participating
employees achievement of personal performance standards.
50% of a participating Named Executive Officers bonus is based upon achievement of corporate
financial and operational objectives typically relating to earnings per share, theater signings and
installations, film performance, technology development and strategic initiatives. Upon completion
of the fiscal year, the Company assesses the performance of the Company for each corporate
financial and operational objective, comparing the actual fiscal year results to the stated
objectives.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, each of the participating Named Executive
Officers received payments under the personal achievement portion of the Management Bonus Plan.

Item 11. Executive Compensation (contd)
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (contd)
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
The Companys long-term incentive compensation for certain employees, including the Named
Executive Officers, is provided through grants of stock options. The Company has a stock option
plan (the Stock Option Plan) under which the Company may grant options to officers, employees,
consultants and eligible directors (the Participants) to purchase common shares on terms that may
be determined.
The Stock Option Plan received shareholder approval and is administered by the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility of administering the Stock
Option Plan to the Option Committee. The Option Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Utay and
Girvan, both Independent Directors. The Option Committee is responsible for performing the
functions required of it under the Stock Option Plan, including the grant of options to
Participants under the Stock Option Plan, from time to time, subject to guidelines determined by
the Companys human resources department and the Compensation Committee.
The number of stock options granted is determined by a competitive compensation analysis and
is based on each individuals salary range and responsibility. All awards of stock options are made
at the fair market value of the Companys common shares on the date of the grant. Any options will
generally be exercisable for a maximum period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to
earlier termination if the Participants employment, consulting arrangement or term of office with
the Company terminates. The Board of Directors or the Option Committee determines vesting
requirements. If a Participants employment, consulting arrangement or term of office with the
Company terminates for any reason, any options which have not vested will generally be surrendered
for cancellation without any consideration being paid therefore.
If the Participants employment, consulting arrangement or term of office is terminated
without cause or by reason of such Participants resignation, death or permanent disability, the
Participant (or the Participants estate) will generally be entitled to exercise the Participants
vested options for a period thereafter. If the Participants employment, consulting arrangement or
term of office is terminated for cause, such Participants vested options will be surrendered for
cancellation. All options granted will immediately vest and become fully exercisable upon a change
of control and the occurrence of other stated events. If the Participant is a party to an
employment agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and breaches any of the
restrictive covenants in such agreement, such Participant will be required to surrender all
unexercised options for cancellation without any consideration being paid therefore and will be
obligated to pay to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate profit realized by such
Participant with respect to any prior option exercises. In determining the number of options to
grant to the Named Executive Officers, consideration was given to information about stock option
grants to executive officers in comparable companies of similar revenue, size and market segment or
industry. In addition, consideration is given to the number of options granted to the Companys
other executive officers. The Option Committee approves annual awards of stock options to executive
officers. Eligible newly hired or promoted executives receive their award of stock options as soon
as practicable following their hire or promotion. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Company began
accounting for stock-based payments including its Stock Option Plan in accordance with the
requirements of Financial Accounting Standards No.123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
Stock Appreciation Rights
The Company may from time to time grant stock appreciation rights (SARs) to certain Named
Executive Officers. The SARs entitle recipients to receive in cash from the Company any increase in
the fair market value of the common shares of the Company from the fair market value thereof on the
date of grant to the date of exercise of the SARs. The Company shall have the right but not the
obligation to cancel at any time all, or from time to time any part, of the SARs and to replace the
cancelled SARs with stock options, or in the Companys discretion, restricted shares.

Item 11. Executive Compensation (contd)
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (contd)
Retirement and Pension Plans
The Company has an unfunded U.S. defined benefit pension plan covering its two Co-CEOs, the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the SERP). The SERP provides for a lifetime retirement
benefit from age 55 determined as 75% of the members best average 60 consecutive months of
earnings during the 120 months preceding retirement.
Under the original terms of the SERP, once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed
annually to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance for life to the surviving
spouse. On March 8, 2006, the Company and the Co-CEOs negotiated an amendment to the SERP effective
January 1, 2006 which reduced the related pension expense to the Company. The Company was
represented by the Independent Directors, who retained Mercer Human Resources Consulting (Mercer)
and outside legal counsel to advise them on certain analyses regarding the SERP. Under the terms of
the SERP amendment, to reduce ongoing costs to the Company, the cost of living adjustment and
surviving spouse benefits previously owed to the Co-CEOs are each reduced by 50%, subject to a
recoupment of a percentage of such benefits upon a change of control of the Company, and the net
present value of the reduced pension benefit payments is accelerated and paid out upon a change of
control of the Company. The amendment resulted in a credit to accumulated other comprehensive
income of $2.8 million, a reduction of other assets of $3.4 million, and a reduction in accrued
liabilities of $6.2 million. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the SERP initiation
date. The benefits were 50% vested as of July 2000, the SERP initiation date. The vesting
percentage increases on a straight-line basis from inception until age 55. The vesting percentage
of a member whose employment terminates other than by voluntary retirement or upon a change in
control shall be 100%. As of December 31, 2006, one of the Co-CEOs benefits were 100% vested while
the other Co-CEOs benefits were approximately 82% vested.
A Co-CEO whose employment terminates other than for cause prior to August 1, 2010 will receive
benefits in the form of monthly annuity payments until the earlier of a change of control or August
1, 2010 at which time the Co-CEO shall receive remaining benefits in the form of a lump sum
payment. A Co-CEO who retires on or after August 1, 2010 shall receive benefits in the form of a
lump sum payment.
The Company maintains defined contribution pension plans for its employees, including its
Named Executive Officers. The Company makes contributions to these pension plans on behalf of
employees in an amount up to 5% of their base salary, subject to certain prescribed maximums.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company contributed an aggregate of $11,229 to
the Companys Canadian defined contribution plan on behalf of Mr. MacNeil and an aggregate of
$26,400 to the Companys defined contribution employee pension plan under Section 401(k) of the
U.S. Internal Revenue Code on behalf of Messrs. Gelfond, Wechsler, Joyce, Foster, Lister and
Keighley.
Other Personal Benefits and Perquisites
The Company provides Named Executive Officers with other personal benefits and perquisites
that the Company believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to
better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Company
periodically reviews the levels of other personal benefits and perquisites provided to Named
Executive Officers to ensure competitiveness and value to employees.
The Named Executive Officers are provided use of company automobiles, or car allowances, and
participation in the retirement and pension plans described above.
The Named Executive Officers are entitled to receive a cash payment upon the executives death
through the Companys life insurance policies. In the event of the executives death prior to
actual retirement at age 65, the executives designated beneficiaries would be entitled to receive
a lump sum payment amount equal to one or two times his or her base salary, subject to prescribed
maximums.
Attributed costs to the Company of the personal benefits and perquisites described above for
the Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, are reported in the All
Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table below.
Change of Control Severance Agreements
The Company has entered into change of control severance agreements with certain key
employees, including certain of the Named Executive Officers. The change of control severance
agreements are designed to promote stability and continuity of senior management. Information
regarding these agreements for the Named Executive Officers is provided below in Employment
Agreements and Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler
On November 3, 1998, the Company entered into renewal employment agreements (the 1998
Agreements) with each of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler, the Co-CEOs. Under the 1998 Agreements,
each of the Co-CEOs is to perform such services with respect to the Companys business as may be
reasonably requested from time to time by the Board of Directors and which are consistent with his
position as Co-CEO. In addition, the Company is to use its best efforts to cause the Co-CEOs to be
elected to the Board of Directors. In addition, a provision contained in their original employment
agreements, dated March 1, 1994, was continued, whereby each of the Co-CEOs is also entitled to
receive, upon a sale of the Company, a cash bonus (Sale Bonus) in an amount equal to the product
of (a) 0.375% and (b) the amount by which the sale or liquidation transaction imputes an equity
value in excess of Canadian $150,000,000 to the common shares originally issued by the Company (on
a fully diluted basis but excluding the common shares issued upon the conversion of the Class B
convertible preferred shares of the Company formerly outstanding which were converted into common
shares on June 16, 1994 and the common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants owned by each
of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler). Under the 1998 Agreements, the Company is to equalize the Co-CEOs
to the taxes which each of the Co-CEOs would have paid had he earned his employment compensation
and paid taxes thereon solely in the United States. The employment agreements also contain
non-competition provisions.
On July 12, 2000, the Company entered into amendments to the employment agreements of the
Co-CEOs (the 2000 Amendments). Pursuant to the 2000 Amendments, the Co-CEOs were each granted
180,000 restricted shares which, in the event that regulatory or shareholder approval is not
obtained, are deemed phantom stock, all of which are fully vested. 80,000 of the phantom stock
granted to each Co-CEOs remain outstanding. Under the 2000 Amendments, the Company agreed to create
a defined benefit plan, to provide retirement benefits for the Co-CEOs, see Compensation
Discussion and Analysis Retirement and Pension Plans above for a description of the Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan, the SERP. The Company agreed to maintain health benefits for the Co-CEOs
until they become eligible for Medicare and, thereafter, the Company will provide Medicare
supplement coverage as selected by the Co-CEO. The 2000 Amendments further provide for the
extension of the Co-CEOs non-competition covenants to four years beyond termination of employment
and for the agreement by the Co-CEOs to consult with the Company for three years following the end
of their employment with the Company.

Item 11. Executive Compensation (contd)
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL (contd)
Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler (contd)
On March 8, 2006, the Company entered into amendments to the employment agreements of the
Co-CEOs (the 2006 Amendments). The 2006 Amendments provided that each of the Co-CEOs would be
paid a base salary of $500,000 for 2006 and be considered for a bonus payable in 2007 based upon
performance to December 31, 2006, with a guaranteed bonus of $750,000 paid for 2006 in the event of
a change of control of the Company. Pursuant to the 2006 Amendments, on March 10, 2006 the Co-CEOs
were each granted 75,000 options to purchase common shares, which options were subsequently
cancelled by the Company on June 13, 2007 for no consideration. In addition, if there is a change
of control of the Company on or before March 10, 2008, the Co-CEOs will each receive an incentive
bonus equal to the product of (a) 225,000 and (b) the difference between the closing price of the
Companys common shares upon such change of control and the closing price of the Companys shares
on March 10, 2006. The 2006 Amendments provide that if a Co-CEOs employment is terminated without
cause prior to the end of the employment term, or if his agreement is not renewed, the Company must
continue to pay the Co-CEO his annual salary and bonus for twelve months. In conjunction with the
2006 Amendments, the Co-CEOs and the Company agreed to amend the SERP as more fully described above
in Compensation Discussion and Analysis Retirement and Pension Plans .
On February 15, 2007, the Company entered into amendments to the employment agreements of each
of the Co-CEOs, which extended their respective employment terms through December 31, 2007 (the
2007 Amendments). The 2007 Amendments provided that each of the Co-CEOs would be paid a base
salary of $500,000 for 2007 and be considered for a bonus based upon performance to December 31,
2007. If the Co-CEOs employment is terminated without cause prior to the end of the term, he shall
be entitled to no less than a pro-rata portion of his median bonus target (i.e. one times salary).
Pursuant to the 2007 Amendments, on February 15, 2007 the Co-CEOs were each granted 300,000 stock
appreciation rights (SARs), which shall entitle each Co-CEO to receive in cash from the Company
any increase in the fair market value of the common shares of the Company from the fair market
value thereof on February 15, 2007 to the date of exercise of the SARs. 50% of the SARs vested
immediately and 50% shall vest on December 31, 2007. The SARs expire on February 15, 2017, and
vesting accelerates on a change of control. The Company shall have the right but not the obligation
to cancel at any time all, or from time to time any part, of the SARs and to replace the cancelled
SARs with stock options, or in the Companys discretion, restricted shares. The restrictive
covenants, including non-competition provisions, of the Co-CEOs existing employment agreements, as
well as other provisions not modified by the 2007 Amendments, remain in force.
If either Mr. Gelfonds or Mr. Wechslers employment had been terminated without cause as at
December 31, 2006, they would have been entitled to receive estimated payments of $18,238,312 and
$17,373,482, respectively. Theses amounts include lump sum payments for salary and bonus, payments
under the SERP, and provision of health benefits.
If either Mr. Gelfond or Mr. Wechsler elected voluntary retirement as at December 31, 2006,
they would have been entitled to receive estimated lump sum payments of $13,971,372 and
$16,155,482, respectively under the SERP.
If there had been a change of control and either Mr. Gelfonds or Mr. Wechslers employment
had been terminated involuntarily as at December 31, 2006, they would have been entitled to receive
estimated lump sum payments of $21,186,570 and $20,417,834, respectively. These amounts include
lump sum payments for salary and bonus; payments under the SERP, and provision of health benefits,
but not the Sale Bonus under the 1998 Agreements. For each Co-CEO, such Sale Bonus is estimated to
be between $nil and $37,000, depending upon the equity assumptions that go into the relevant
calculations.
If there had been a change of control and either Mr. Gelfond or Mr. Wechsler had elected
voluntary retirement as at December 31, 2006, they would have been entitled to receive estimated
payments of $16,173,742 and $18,949,834, respectively under the SERP.
In addition to the above payments, if there had been a change of control as at December 31,
2006, there would have been a payment obligation for each of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler of
$64,500 in connection with the cancellation of certain stock options, however in June 2007, both
Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler voluntarily surrendered such stock options for no consideration.
Mr. Joyce
Francis T. Joyce served as Chief Financial Officer from May 9, 2001 to September 12, 2006.
During that time, his employment agreements provided for an annual base salary and annual bonuses
as well as a discretionary bonus based on a percentage of base salary throughout the employment
term. Mr. Joyce had agreed to restrictive covenants, including confidentiality and non-competition
covenants.

Mr. MacNeil
On August 21, 2006 the Company appointed Edward MacNeil as Chief Financial Officer, on an
interim basis. On November 6, 2006, the Company and Edward MacNeil entered into an employment
arrangement. During his term as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. MacNeil will receive an
annualized salary of Cdn$345,000. Under the arrangement, Mr. MacNeil was entitled to receive a
guaranteed bonus of Cdn$50,000, in respect of the year ending December 31, 2006.
If Mr. MacNeils employment had been terminated without cause as at December 31, 2006, he
would have been entitled to receive an estimated payment of $322,705. This amount includes
continuance or lump sum payment of salary, guaranteed bonus, perquisites, provision of benefits and
a payment obligation in connection with the cancellation of certain stock options. If Mr. MacNeil
resigned as of December 31, 2006, he would have been entitled to receive Cdn$50,000 in respect of
the guaranteed bonus for 2006.
If there had been a change of control and Mr. MacNeils employment had been terminated without
cause as at December 31, 2006, he would have been entitled to receive an estimated payment of
$404,977. This amount includes continuance or lump sum payment of salary, guaranteed bonus,
retention bonus, perquisites; provision of benefits and a payment obligation in connection with the
cancellation of certain stock options.
Mr. Foster
On March 9, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Foster, which
replaced Mr. Fosters previous employment agreement with the Company. Under the agreement, Mr.
Fosters employment term was extended to June 30, 2008, and Mr. Foster receives an annual salary of
$700,000 effective March 1, 2006, which is, thereafter, subject to annual review. The agreement
further provides that Mr. Foster is entitled to receive a minimum annual bonus of 50% of his base
salary for the year ending December 31, 2006 and the year ending December 31, 2007, and a prorated
bonus in respect of the year ending December 31, 2008. In addition, if there is a change of control
of the Company on or before March 10, 2008, Mr. Foster shall receive an incentive bonus equal to
the product of (a) 75,000 and (b) the difference between the closing price of the Companys common
shares upon such change of control and the closing price of the Companys shares on March 10, 2006,
which shall be paid out in either a lump-sum or three installments, depending upon certain events.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence (contd)
REVIEW, APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
On a regular basis, the Company requires its directors, nominees for director, and executive
officers to identify to the Board of Directors, transactions and/or relationships which could
constitute a transaction with a related person as defined in Regulation S-K 404(a). For any
potential transaction in which a director, executive officer or related person would have a
material interest, such transaction is reviewed, in advance, by the Companys General Counsel and
Chief Compliance Officer to ensure compliance with the Companys Code of Ethics and to evaluate the
disclosure requirements under Regulation S-K 404(a). In addition, in the event any transaction or
agreement occurs in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest, the
director or executive officer must recuse himself from voting on that matter and remove himself
from the meeting while the transaction at issue is being considered by the Board of Directors. The
minutes of the Board of Directors meeting would reflect the nature of the interest disclosed and
the fact of the recusal.
