1.	THE COMPANY

Description of Business

National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”) was incorporated in Delaware as a holding company with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC”). The terms “NCM”, “the Company” or “we” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include the consolidated entity. The Company operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, allowing NCM to distribute advertising, Fathom entertainment programming events and corporate events under long-term exhibitor services agreements (“ESAs”) with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMCE”), Regal Cinemas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), and Cinemark USA, Inc. (“Cinemark USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”). AMC, Regal and Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as “founding members.” NCM LLC also provides such services to certain third-party theatre circuits under “network affiliate” agreements, which expire at various dates. The Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was completed in February 2007.

At June 30, 2011, NCM LLC had 110,803,475 common membership units outstanding, of which 53,923,511 (48.7%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 22,060,262 (19.9%) were owned by Regal, 17,323,782 (15.6 %) were owned by AMC, and 17,495,920 (15.8%) were owned by Cinemark. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of NCM, Inc. in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in an annual report have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report. Therefore, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly in all material respects the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The Company’s business is seasonal and for this and other reasons operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company’s full year results or future performance. As a result of the various related-party agreements discussed in Note 4, the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties.

Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, equity-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation—NCM, Inc. consolidates the accounts of NCM LLC under the provision of ASC 810 Consolidation. Under ASC 810, a managing member of a limited liability company (“LLC”) is presumed to control the LLC, unless the non-managing members have the right to dissolve the entity or remove the managing member without cause, or if the non-managing members have substantive participating rights. The non-managing members of NCM LLC do not have either dissolution rights or removal rights. NCM, Inc. has evaluated the provisions of the NCM LLC membership agreement and has concluded that the various rights of the non-managing members are not substantive participation rights under ASC 810, as they do not limit NCM, Inc.’s ability to make decisions in the ordinary course of business.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications of previously reported amounts within operating activities in the statement of cash flows and share based compensation within the statement of equity and comprehensive income have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s annual financial statements included in Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010 contain a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Receivables—Bad debts are provided for using the allowance for doubtful accounts method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding receivables at the end of the period. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. Trade accounts receivable are uncollateralized and represent a large number of geographically dispersed debtors. At June 30, 2011 there were two advertising agency groups through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 20% and 11% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agencies were more than 10% of advertising revenue. At December 30, 2010 there were two advertising agency groups through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 21% and 17% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agencies were more than 10% of advertising revenue. The collectability risk is reduced by dealing with large, national advertising agencies who have strong reputations in the advertising industry and clients with stable financial positions.

Other Investment— Through March 15, 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in RMG Networks, Inc., (“RMG”) (formerly Danoo, Inc.) under the equity method of accounting as required by ASC 323-10 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. During the first quarter of 2010, RMG sold additional common stock to other third party investors for cash, which reduced the Company’s ownership in RMG, resulting in cost method accounting. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s ownership in RMG was approximately 19% of the issued and outstanding preferred and common stock of RMG.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to ASC 220 Comprehensive Income. Under the amendments to ASC 220, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income shall be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. ASC 220 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASC 220 on its consolidated financial statements, including the impact to the presentation of comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

2.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock options, and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. The components of basic and diluted earnings per NCM, Inc, share are as follows:


	Quarter Ended June 30, 2011		Quarter Ended July 1, 2010		Six Months Ended June 30, 2011		Six Months Ended July 1, 2010
Net Income Attributable to NCM, Inc. (in millions)	$	9.0	$	4.6	$	8.0	$	5.8

Weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic		53,912,351		42,289,915		53,801,768		42,250,029
Add: Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock		901,860		634,446		872,525		522,440

Diluted		54,814,211		42,924,361		54,674,293		42,772,469

Earnings per NCM, Inc. share:
Basic	$	0.17	$	0.11	$	0.15	$	0.14
Diluted	$	0.16	$	0.11	$	0.15	$	0.14

The effect of the 56,879,964; 62,935,711; 57,016,513 and 61,380,215 exchangeable NCM LLC common units held by the founding members for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares and earnings per NCM, Inc. share as they were antidilutive. In addition, there were 45,780; 192,906; 37,025 and 282,149 stock options and 45; 3,238; 10,296 and 6,201 non-vested (restricted) shares for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010, respectively, excluded from the calculation as they are antidilutive, primarily as exercise prices on stock options and intrinsic value of restricted stock shares were above the average market value.

3.	INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During the first quarter of 2011, NCM LLC’s founding members returned a net 322,751 common membership units to NCM LLC, which is an adjustment to the previously issued common membership units issued in exchange for the rights to exclusive access, in accordance with the ESA, to net new theatre screens and attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network. As a result, NCM LLC recorded a reduction to the intangible asset at fair value of the common membership units of $5.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2010, NCM LLC issued 2,212,219 common membership units to its founding members in exchange for the rights to exclusive access to net new theatre screens and attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network. As a result, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset at fair value of $39.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2010, NCM LLC issued 6,510,209 common membership units to a subsidiary of AMCE as a result of that subsidiary’s acquisition of Kerasotes Showplace Theatres, LLC (the “AMC Kerasotes Acquisition”). Such issuance provided NCM LLC with exclusive access, in accordance with the ESA, to the net new theatre screens and attendees added by AMCE to NCM LLC’s network since the date of the last annual common unit adjustment through the date of the AMC Kerasotes Acquisition. As a result, NCM LLC recorded an intangible asset at the market value of the common membership units equal to $111.5 million.

The Company based the fair value of the intangible assets on the market value of the common membership units when issued, which are freely convertible into the Company’s common stock.

Pursuant to ASC 350-10 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, the intangible assets have a finite useful life and the Company amortizes the assets over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs. Amortization of the asset related to Regal Consolidated Theatres will begin in the third quarter of 2011 as the Company now has access to on-screen advertising in the Regal Consolidated Theatres due to the expiration of their existing on–screen advertising agreement.

4.	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to the ESAs, the Company makes monthly theatre access fee payments to the founding members, comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen with respect to the founding member theatres included in our network.

5.	BORROWINGS

On February 13, 2007, concurrently with the closing of the IPO of NCM, Inc., NCM LLC entered into a senior secured credit facility with a group of lenders. The facility consists of a six-year $80.0 million revolving credit facility and an eight-year, $725.0 million term loan facility. The revolving credit facility portion is available, subject to certain conditions, for general corporate purposes of the Company in the ordinary course of business and for other transactions permitted under the credit agreement, and a portion is available for letters of credit. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of NCM, LLC.

The outstanding balance of the term loan facility at June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010 was $725.0 million. The outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010 was $35.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the effective rate on the term loan was 5.3% including the effect of the interest rate swaps (both the swaps accounted for as hedges and those that are not). The interest rate swaps hedged $550.0 million or 76% of the $725.0 million term loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.484% while the unhedged portion was at an interest rate of 1.75%. The applicable margin on the term loan was lowered to 1.5% from 1.75% as a result of an upgrade of the corporate credit rating by the credit rating agencies specified in the credit agreement, in the first quarter of 2011. The weighted-average interest rate on the unhedged revolver was 2.3%. Commencing with the fourth fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2009, the applicable margin for the revolving credit facility is determined quarterly and is subject to adjustment based upon a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for NCM LLC and its subsidiaries (the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, over a non-GAAP measure defined in the credit agreement). The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of covenants and financial ratio requirements, with which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 2011, including the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio. There are no borrower distribution restrictions as long as the Company’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio is below 6.5 times and the borrower is in compliance with its debt covenants. As of June 30, 2011, its consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.5 times, while the covenant was 6.5 times.

Refer to Note 11 for discussion of the amendment of the senior secured credit facility and restructuring of debt.

On March 19, 2009, the Company gave an $8.5 million note payable to Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch (“Credit Suisse”) with no stated interest rate to settle the $10.0 million contingent put obligation and to acquire the $20.7 million outstanding principal balance of debt of IdeaCast, Inc. (“IdeaCast”) (together with all accrued interest and other lender costs required to be reimbursed by IdeaCast). The note was paid in full January 15, 2011. At issuance the Company recorded the note at a present value of $7.0 million. At December 30, 2010, $1.2 million of the balance was recorded in current liabilities. Interest on the note was accreted at the Company’s estimated incremental cost of debt based on then current market indicators over the term of the loan to interest expense.

6.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Actions—The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes such claims will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Minimum Revenue Guarantees— As part of the network affiliate agreements entered in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various theatre chains other than those of the founding members of NCM LLC, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees on a per attendee basis. If an affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee if such amount paid under the revenue share arrangement is less than its guaranteed amount. The amount and term varies for each network affiliate, but terms range from two to seven years, prior to any renewal periods of which some are at the option of the Company. The maximum potential

(UNAUDITED)

amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $18.3 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. As of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010 the Company had no liabilities recorded for these obligations as such guarantees are less than the expected share of revenue paid to the affiliate.

7.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The carrying amounts of cash and other notes payable as reported in the Company’s balance sheets approximate their fair value due to their short maturity. The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its floating-rate terms. The carrying amounts and fair values of interest rate swap agreements are the same since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. The Company has estimated the fair value of its term loan based on an average of at least two non-binding broker quotes and the Company’s analysis to be $710.9 million and $713.3 million at June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010, respectively. The carrying value of the term loan was $725.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010.

The fair value of the investment in RMG networks has not been estimated at June 30, 2011 as there were no monetary equity events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment, and as it is not practicable to do so because RMG is not a publicly traded company. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment was $6.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010. Refer to Note 1.

Recurring Measurements—The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis pursuant to ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures are as follows (in millions):


				Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

Cash Equivalents— The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at estimated fair value.

(2)

Short-Term and Long-term Investments— The Company’s short-term and long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains, as well as losses that the Company considers to be temporary, reported net of tax in other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Short-term investments have effective maturity dates from three to 12 months and long-term investments have effective maturity dates greater than 12 months. The amortized cost basis approximates the aggregate fair value as of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010. For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 there was an inconsequential amount of net realized gains (losses) recognized in interest income and no net unrealized holding gains (losses) included in other comprehensive income.

8.	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

NCM LLC has interest rate swap agreements with four counterparties that, at their inception, qualified for and were designated as cash flow hedges against interest rate exposure on $550.0 million of the variable rate debt obligations under the senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap agreements have the effect of converting a significant portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 6.484%. All interest rate swaps were entered into for risk management purposes. The Company has no derivatives for other purposes.

Cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued on September 15, 2008 due to the event of default created by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”) and the inability of the Company to continue to demonstrate the swap would be effective. In accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the net derivative loss as of September 14, 2008 related to the discontinued cash flow hedge with Lehman Brothers Special Financing (“LBSF”) shall continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Accordingly, the net derivative loss is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the interest rate swap through February 13, 2015. The amount amortized during both the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 was $0.3 million and during both the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 was $0.6 million. The Company estimates approximately $1.3 million will be amortized to interest expense in the next 12 months.

Both at inception and on an on-going basis the Company performs an effectiveness test using the hypothetical derivative method. The fair values of the interest rate swaps with the counterparties other than Barclays (representing notional amounts of $412.5 million associated with a like amount of the variable rate debt) are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a liability with the change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income since the instruments were determined to be perfectly effective at June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010. There were no amounts reclassified into current earnings due to ineffectiveness during the periods presented other than as described herein.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is based on dealer quotes, and represents an estimate of the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates and the forward yield curve for 3-month LIBOR.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 30, 2010, the estimated fair value and line item caption of derivative instruments recorded were as follows (in millions):

SEGMENT REPORTING

Advertising is the principal business activity of the Company and is the Company’s reportable segment under the requirements of ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Advertising revenue accounted for 86.5%, 90.9%, 85.3% and 86.0% of consolidated revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010, respectively. Fathom Consumer Events and Fathom Business Events are operating segments under ASC 280, but do not meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting. The following table presents revenues less directly identifiable expenses to arrive at operating income net of direct expenses for the advertising reportable segment, the combined Fathom Events operating segments, and network, administrative and unallocated costs. Management does not evaluate its segments on a fully allocated cost basis. Therefore, the measure of segment operating income net of direct expenses shown below is not prepared on the same basis as

operating income in the consolidated statement of operations and the results below are not indicative of what segment results of operations would have been had it been operated on a fully allocated cost basis. Management cautions that it would be inappropriate to assume that unallocated operating costs are incurred proportional to segment revenue or any directly identifiable segment expenses. Unallocated operating costs consist primarily of network costs, general and administrative costs and other unallocated costs including depreciation and amortization. Management does not track segment assets and, therefore, segment asset information is not presented.

On July 5, 2011 NCM, LLC completed a private placement of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes (“the Notes”) due in 2021. The Notes have a maturity date of July 15, 2021 and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2012. The proceeds were used to prepay $175 million of NCM, LLC’s outstanding indebtedness under its existing senior secured credit facility, as well as payments on the existing revolving line of credit and offering costs.

On June 20, 2011, NCM, LLC, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to NCM, LLC’s senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof, the Amendment became effective upon the completion of the private placement of the Notes on July 5, 2011. Barclays Bank PLC, is administrative agent for certain lenders that are party to the Credit Facility.

Under the Amendment, among other things:

•

the existing six-year $66 million revolving credit facility that terminates on February 13, 2013, was replaced with a new $105 million revolving credit facility that will terminate on December 31, 2014;

•

the $14 million outstanding revolving loan from Lehman (not subject to pro rata prepayment or re-borrowing) remains in place and will also mature on December 31, 2014;

•

the negative covenants of LLC were amended to permit LLC to issue senior notes and other unsecured indebtedness subject to certain conditions;

•

the unused line fee increased from 0.375% per annum to 0.50% per annum;

•

the amount of permitted investments by LLC increased; and

•

the definition of available cash was amended to (i) disregard the effect of certain debt issuances and (ii) level out the impact on available cash of certain capital expenditures.

The amendment required LLC to use at least $175 million of the net proceeds of the senior notes offering to prepay the term loans under the Credit Facility. The consenting lenders further agreed that there would be no breakage costs associated with the prepayment of indebtedness from proceeds of the senior notes offering or the replacement of the revolving credit facility and the applicable margin has not changed.

All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, certain statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, may constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these “forward-looking statements” by the specific words, including but not limited to “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated in these statements as a result of certain factors as more fully discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2010. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and the audited financial statements and other disclosure included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2010. In the following discussion and analysis, the term net income refers to net income attributable to NCM, Inc.

Overview

NCM operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, for the distribution of advertising and Fathom Consumer and Business Events. Our revenue is principally derived from the sale of advertising and, to a lesser extent, from our Fathom Events business. We have long-term ESAs with NCM LLC’s founding members and multi-year agreements with several other theatre operators, whom we refer to as network affiliates. The ESAs with the founding members and network affiliate agreements grant us exclusive rights, subject to limited exceptions, to sell advertising and meeting services and distribute entertainment programming in those theatres. Our advertising and Fathom Events businesses are distributed across our proprietary digital content network (“DCN”) and live digital broadcast network (“DBN”). Approximately 94% of the aggregate founding member and network affiliate theatre attendance is generated by theatres connected to our DCN.

Management focuses on several measurements that we believe provide us with the necessary metrics and key performance indicators for us to manage our business and to determine how we are performing versus our internal goals and targets, and against the performance of our competitors and other benchmarks in the marketplaces in which we operate. Senior executives hold monthly meetings with managers and staff to discuss and analyze operating results and address significant variances to budget in an effort to identify trends and changes in our business. We focus on many operating metrics including changes in operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”), Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin, as defined and discussed in “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, as some of our primary measurement metrics. In addition, we pay particular attention to our monthly advertising performance measurements, including advertising inventory utilization, pricing (CPM), local and total advertising revenue per attendee and the number of Fathom Events locations, revenue per event and location. Finally, we monitor our operating cash flow and related financial leverage (see Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) and revolving credit facility availability and cash balances to ensure that debt obligations and future declared dividends can be met and there are adequate cash reserves to operate our business.

Our operating results may be affected by a variety of internal and external factors and trends described more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011 for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 30, 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA margin are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted OIBDA excludes from OIBDA non-cash share based payment costs and deferred stock compensation. Adjusted OIBDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to evaluate operating performance and to forecast future results and as a basis for compensation. The Company believes these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on its operating performance and so highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it enables them to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that may have different depreciation and amortization policies, and non-cash share based compensation programs or different interest rates or debt levels or income tax rates. A limitation of these measures, however, is that they exclude depreciation and amortization, which represent a proxy for the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of the Company’s share based payment costs and deferred stock compensation. OIBDA or Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income, net income or as indicators of operating performance, nor should they be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA do not reflect the Regal Consolidated Theatres integration payments. Regal made Consolidated Theatre payments to NCM LLC pursuant to the revised ESAs, which were $0.5 million, $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010, respectively.

Basis of Presentation

The results of operations data for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010 were derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records of NCM, Inc. and should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010

Revenue. Total revenue of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $114.0 million compared to $99.1 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010, an increase of $14.9 million, or 15.0%. The increase in total revenue was primarily the result of an increase in total advertising revenue of $8.5 million or 9.4% (including revenue from our founding member beverage concessionaire agreements, or “beverage revenue”), in addition to the 73.0% increase in Fathom Events revenue from $8.9 million in 2010 to $15.4 million in the current quarter.

National advertising revenues of $78.4 million (including $10.7 million of beverage revenue) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 6.4% from $73.7 million (including $9.6 million of beverage revenue) for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. National advertising revenue (excluding beverage revenue) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased $3.6 million or 5.6% to $67.7 million compared to $64.1 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. This increase was due to the continued expansion of our overall client base and an increase in the allocation to the current quarter of the annual content partner spending as compared to the second quarter of 2010. In addition, the higher content partner allocation and a favorable TV advertising scatter market contributed to an increase of 2.9% in national advertising CPMs (excluding beverage revenue). There was also a 6.4% increase in national advertising impressions sold that contributed to a slight decrease versus the second quarter of 2010 in the national inventory utilization to 91.5%. This increase in impressions related to a strong theatrical box office and the addition of network affiliates. The 11.5% increase in payments from the founding members for their beverage concessionaire agreements was due primarily to a combination of the impact of the annual contractual 6% beverage revenue CPM increase and a 5.7% increase in founding member attendance due to a strong theatrical box office and the AMC Kerasotes Acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2010. Our make-good reserve balance decreased to $2.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $4.6 million at July 1, 2010 due to strong theatre attendance at the end of the current quarter. The Company anticipates this reserve will be recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2011.

Local advertising revenue increased $3.8 million or 23.2% to $20.2 million for the current quarter compared to $16.4 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of our network and an increase in the number of larger regional contracts as well as regional spending by nationally recognized clients. Local revenue per theatre attendee increased 20.0% to $0.12 per attendee for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $0.10 for the second quarter of 2010, notwithstanding the 6.4% increase in theatre attendance.

Total advertising revenue (including beverage revenue) per attendee for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 1.8% to $0.56 per attendee compared to $0.55 for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. Excluding beverage revenue, total advertising revenue per attendee increased 2.7%. The increase in the advertising revenue per attendee was due to the 9.4% increase in total advertising revenue (including beverage), offset by the 6.4% increase in theatre attendance.

Fathom Events revenue increased 73.0% to $15.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $8.9 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. Our Fathom Consumer events revenue increased 168.9% primarily due to a 123.0% increase in events versus the second quarter of 2010, including additional Metropolitan Opera programs and many other arts and entertainment and cinema events. The Fathom Business division revenue remained consistent compared to the 2010 period as the division continues to be negatively impacted by the slow economic recovery. The total number of Fathom event sites utilized during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 88.6% compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to a the increase in the number of Fathom Consumer events held and the expansion of the Fathom Events network.

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $63.8 million compared to $55.8 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. The 14.3% increase in 2011 compared to the 2010 period was primarily the result of a 73.0% increase in our Fathom Event revenue, and a 9.2% increase in our advertising revenues (excluding beverage). Set forth below is a discussion of the operating expenses.

Advertising operating costs. Advertising operating costs of $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 3.5% over the $5.7 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010 due primarily to the increase in advertising revenue.

Fathom Events operating costs. Fathom Events operating costs of $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased $4.7 million or 78.3% compared to $6.0 million during the quarter ended July 1, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the increased revenue generated by the Fathom Consumer division resulting in an increase in payments to content producers due to the mix of events, as well as the increase in the revenue share payments to our founding members and affiliates.

Network costs. Network costs of $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were consistent with $4.8 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010 due to lower maintenance costs related to the transition to the digital cinema projectors offset by costs associated with aging network equipment in theatres that have yet to install the new higher quality digital cinema equipment.

Theatre access fees. Theatre access fees were $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $13.4 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. The 10.4% increase for 2011 versus the 2010 period was primarily the result of a 5.7% increase in founding member attendance, driven in part by the attendance and screens added by the AMC Kerasotes Acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2010. The remaining increase was due to the annual increase in the amount per digital screen specified in the ESA and additional costs associated with our access to the higher quality digital cinema equipment.

Selling and marketing costs. Selling and marketing costs increased to $14.9 million, or 5.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $14.1 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. This increase is primarily due to higher personnel costs including local sales commissions related to the 23.2% increase in local advertising revenue.

Administrative and other costs. Administrative and other costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $8.4 million compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010, an increase of 12.0%. The increase is due to increased personnel and consulting costs related to the development of our core advertising, scheduling and distribution systems and additional compensation expense primarily related to a $0.5 million increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 remained consistent with $4.3 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010.

Net income. Net income generated for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $9.0 million, an increase of 95.7% over the $4.6 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010. The increase was due primarily to the 15.9% increase in operating income and a $2.5 million decrease in the charge related to the change in derivative fair value offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. The change in derivative fair value resulted in a pre-tax non-cash charge of $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to a pre-tax non-cash charge of $4.5 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2010, due to the change in the fair value of an interest rate hedge associated with our senior secured credit facility from decreases in market interest rates. The increase in the provision for income taxes of $2.7 million to $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 is due primarily to higher taxable income. Noncontrolling interest expense increased $2.0 million to $19.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 due to higher NCM LLC net income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2010

Revenue. Total revenue of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $184.8 million compared to $183.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010. This 0.6% increase for the 2011 period over the 2010 period was the result of an increase of $1.4 million, or 5.4%, in Fathom Events revenues, offset by a small decrease of 0.1%, in advertising revenue relating to lower first quarter 2011 revenue.

National advertising revenues of $124.9 million (including $18.9 million of beverage revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 3.4% from $129.3 million (including $18.8 million of beverage revenue) for the 2010 period. National advertising revenue (excluding beverage revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 4.1% to $106.0 million compared to $110.5 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the first quarter of 2010 having included a significant advertising contract from one client in the military category that was not repeated in the first quarter of 2011. Content partner commitment spending for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $3.0 million as compared to 2010. The decrease in national inventory utilization (excluding beverage revenue) to 82.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 85.4% for the six months ended July 1, 2010 was due to the decrease in national advertising revenue during the first half of 2011 as compared to the first half of 2010, offset by a 5.6% decrease in theatre attendance compared to the prior year period. The lower national inventory utilization related to the impact of the decrease in military spending, partially offset by continued expansion of our overall client base and a favorable TV advertising scatter market that contributed to a 4.0% increase in national advertising CPMs (excluding beverage revenue). The 0.5% decrease in payments from the founding members for their beverage concessionaire agreements was due primarily to a 4.7% decrease in founding member attendance due to a weaker box office during the first quarter of 2011, offset by the impact of the annual contractual 6% beverage revenue CPM increase.

Local advertising revenue increased $4.2 million or 14.7% to $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $28.6 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of our network and an increase in the number of larger regional contracts as well as regional spending by nationally recognized clients. Local revenue per theatre attendee for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 22.2% to $0.11 per attendee compared to $0.09 for the six months ended July 1, 2010 due to the increased sales revenue combined with a decrease in theatre attendance within our network of 12.0% compared to the comparable period in 2010.

Total advertising revenue per attendee (including beverage revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 6.3% to $0.51 per attendee, from $0.48 per attendee for the six months ended July 1, 2010. The increase in the advertising revenue per attendee was primarily due to the increase in local advertising revenue and the impact of the overall 5.6% decrease in attendance across our network.

Fathom Events revenue increased $1.4 million, or 5.4%, to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the 2010 period due to a 14.3% increase in Fathom Consumer revenue. This increase related to the diversification of programming categories and an increase in the number of events in the first half of 2011 versus 2010. The Fathom Business division revenue decreased slightly compared to 2010 as the division continues to be negatively impacted by the slow economic recovery. The total number of Fathom event sites utilized during the current six month period increased 42.0% compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to a 53.5% increase in the number of Fathom Consumer events held and the expansion of the Fathom Events network.

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $119.6 million compared to $114.0 million for the 2010 period through July 1, 2010. The 4.9% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 was the result of the impact of increases in local advertising and Fathom revenues and non-cash share-based compensation expenses.

Advertising operating costs. Advertising operations costs of $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased 7.8% compared to $10.2 million for the 2010 period. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in costs associated with non-digital delivery of our preshow due to the 7.3% increase in digital screens.

Fathom Events operating costs. Fathom Events operating costs of $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 7.0% compared to $17.1 million during the 2010 period. The increase was the result of additional payments to content producers and revenue share to our founding members and affiliates directly related to the increased revenue generated by the Fathom Consumer division.

Network costs. Network costs of $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were consistent with the $9.7 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010 due to lower maintenance costs related to the transition to digital cinema projectors offset by costs associated with aging network equipment in theatres that have yet to install the new higher quality digital cinema equipment.

Theatre access fees. Theatre access fees were $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $26.3 million for the comparable 2010 period. The 2.3% increase for the first six months of 2011 versus the first six months of 2010 was the result of the annual 5% increase per digital screen and additional costs associated with our access to the higher quality digital cinema equipment, offset by a 4.7% decrease in founding member attendance.

Selling and marketing costs. Selling and marketing costs increased to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $27.2 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010, an increase of 8.5%. This increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs including increased sales commissions for our regional and Fathom Consumer business, as well as an $0.8 million increase in non-cash share-based compensation expense.

Administrative and other costs. Administrative and other costs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $16.9 million compared to $15.2 million for the 2010 period. The 11.2% increase in the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six month period ended July 1, 2010 is primarily due to increased personnel costs of $2.2 million which included additional personnel associated with the growth of our business and a $1.6 million increase in non-cash share-based compensation, offset by lower professional services.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million to $8.9 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2010 as a result of increased amortization expense recognized on additional intangible assets recorded related to the annual and special Common Unit Adjustment. We expect full year 2011 depreciation and amortization to increase over 2010 due to the increases in amortization of the intangible assets that were recorded during 2011.

Net income. Net income generated for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 37.9% to $8.0 million compared to net income for the six months ended July 1, 2010 of $5.8 million. The increase was due primarily to a $5.4 million decrease in the charge related to the change in derivative fair value and a $2.9 million decrease in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, offset by a $4.5 million decrease in operating income. The change in derivative fair value resulted in a pre-tax non-cash charge of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a pre-tax non-cash charge of $6.2 million for the six months ended July 1, 2010, due to the change in the fair value of an interest rate hedge associated with our senior secured credit facility from decreases in market interest rates. The increase of $1.1 million to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 in the provision for income taxes is due primarily to higher pretax income. Noncontrolling interest expense decreased $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to the impact of the redemption of common membership units during the second quarter of 2010 impacting the allocation of overall higher net income to NCM, LLC (see Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document).

Known Trends and Uncertainties

The current macro-economic environment, and continued late breaking national television scatter advertising market in general, present uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, including the timing and amount of spending from our advertising clients and collections of accounts receivable. However, the impact to our business associated with these issues is mitigated somewhat due to factors including the growth in our advertising client base, the effectiveness of cinema advertising relative to other advertising mediums, and the effectiveness and increasing scale of our national network and the related increase in salable advertising impressions and Fathom live broadcast locations. During the third and fourth quarter of 2010, we added several new affiliate theatres to our national network including: Metropolitan Theatres Corporation, Great Escape Theatres and RC Theatres. In the first half of 2011 we have added Consolidated Theatres acquired by Regal in 2008, as well as several new affiliates including Rave Cinemas, LLC and Showplex Cinemas, Inc. During the third quarter of 2011 we will add Digital Cinema Destinations, Corp., VSS Southern Theatres and Coming Attractions. In total, these contracted new founding member and affiliate theatres that have joined or will join our network, are expected to add nearly 47 million new attendees on a full-year pro-forma basis, which we expect may result in up to 650 million new salable national advertising impressions. Our sales force either has integrated or will integrate these additional impressions into the advertising sales process during the remainder of 2011 and we expect that these attendees will then be additive to our revenue, operating income and cash flow. We are discussing network affiliate relationships with other theatre circuits that could be added during the remainder of 2011 or thereafter. We believe that the continued growth of our network will continue to strengthen our selling proposition and competitive positioning versus other national advertising platforms.

Under the ESAs, up to 90 seconds of the FirstLook program can be sold to our founding members to satisfy their on-screen advertising commitments under their beverage concessionaire agreements. During 2011 and in 2010, we sold 60 seconds to our founding members. We expect to continue to sell 60 seconds of time to the founding members in the remainder of 2011 and for the foreseeable future.

We remain involved in discussions with the founding member circuits to explore a restructuring of the Fathom Events business relationship. The discussions are on-going and we do not know how the existing relationship might be changed or if it will be changed. Any change to the Fathom Events business relationship with the founding members would likely have to be approved by a special independent committee of NCM, Inc’s board, nine of NCM Inc’s ten director and a majority of all independent directors.

In July 2011 we amended our credit facility agreement and completed a private placement of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due in 2021. A portion of the proceeds were used to prepay $175 million of unhedged outstanding term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. In conjunction with this bond placement we also restructured our existing revolving credit agreement by expanding the availability from $80 million to $119 million and extending the term from February 13, 2013 to December 31, 2014. As a result of these transactions, we have significantly extended the maturities of our debt structure as well as increased our liquidity. Due to the higher interest rate on the bonds versus our senior secured credit facility term loan, we expect our interest expense on borrowings to increase by $5.8 million for second half of 2011 compared to the second half of 2010.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2011, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance was $64.4 million, a decrease of $18.5 million compared to the balance of $82.9 million as of December 30, 2010. Compared to the balance at July 1, 2010 of $55.9 million, the balance at June 30, 2011 increased $8.5 million. At June 30, 2011, we had an additional $45.0 million of borrowing availability on our revolving credit facility for total liquidity availability of $109.4 million compared to $112.9 million at December 30, 2010. At July 1, 2010, our total liquidity availability was $83.9 million. Our cash balances will fluctuate due to the seasonality of our business and related timing of collections of accounts receivable balances and operating expenditure payments, as well as available cash payments (as defined) to NCM LLC’s founding members, interest payments on our term loan and principal payments on debt, income tax payments, tax sharing payments to our founding members and quarterly dividends to NCM, Inc’s common shareholders. Our net debt balances (debt balance net of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance) decreased $25.5 million compared to the balance at July 1, 2010.

We have generated and used cash as follows (in millions):


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2011			Six Months Ended July 1, 2010
Operating cash flow	$	52.2		$	36.4
Investing cash flow	$	(6.1	)	$	(6.3	)
Financing cash flow	$	(64.0	)	$	(67.4	)

•

Operating Activities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended July 1, 2010 was primarily due to the increase in operating income, the timing of normal operating expenses, as well as the timing of the collection of accounts receivable balances offset by the timing of payments for income taxes and taxes due under the tax sharing agreement.

•

Investing Activities. The cash used for investing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased slightly compared to the level of investing cash flow for the six months ended July 1, 2010. The decrease is a combination of the level of capital expenditures, which are offset by the proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, and the use of cash to purchase short term investments consistent with our investment policy.

•

Financing Activities. The change in financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the six months ended July 1, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in our quarterly dividend offset by a decrease in net repayments on our revolving credit agreement in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Sources of capital and capital requirements. NCM, Inc.’s primary source of liquidity and capital resources are available cash distributions from NCM LLC. NCM LLC’s primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are its operating activities and availability under its senior secured revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document and “–Known Trends and Uncertainties” above for a detailed discussion of the debt transactions in the third quarter of 2011.

Management believes that future funds generated from NCM LLC’s operations and cash on hand should be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, NCM LLC’s debt service requirements, and capital expenditure and other investing requirements, through the next 12 months. Cash flows generated by NCM LLC’s distributions to NCM, Inc. and the founding members can be impacted by the seasonality experienced in advertising revenues, changes in interest on borrowings and to a lesser extent theatre attendance. NCM LLC is required pursuant to the terms of its operating agreement to distribute its available cash, as defined in the operating agreement, to its members (the founding members and NCM, Inc.). The available cash distribution to the members of NCM LLC for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $54.3 million, of which $26.4 million was distributed to NCM, Inc. NCM, Inc. will use cash received from the available cash distributions to fund income taxes, payments associated with the tax sharing agreement with the founding members and current and future dividends as declared by the board of directors, including a dividend declared in July 2011 of $0.22 per share (approximately $12 million) which will be paid on September 1, 2011. Distributions from NCM LLC and NCM, Inc. cash balances should be sufficient to fund NCM, Inc.’s tax sharing payments to the founding member circuits, income taxes and its regular dividend for the foreseeable future at the discretion of the board of directors dependent on anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, future prospects for earnings, available cash and cash flows as well as other relevant factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and understanding of our results of operations, and that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein. As of June 30, 2011, there were no significant changes in those critical accounting estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the recent accounting pronouncements relevant to our business operations, see the information provided under Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

Related-Party Transactions

For a discussion of the related-party transactions, see the information provided under Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our operating lease obligations, which primarily include office leases, are not reflected on our balance sheet. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual and Other Obligations” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein. We do not believe these arrangements are material to our current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.

Contractual and Other Obligations

There were no material changes to our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011, however in July 2011 we completed a restructuring of our indebtedness. Refer to Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document and “–Known Trends and Uncertainties” above for a detailed discussion of the debt transactions in the third quarter of 2011.

Seasonality

Our revenue and operating results are seasonal in nature, coinciding with the timing of marketing expenditures by our advertising clients and to a lesser extent the attendance patterns within the film exhibition industry. Advertising expenditures and theatre attendance tend to be higher during the second, third, and fourth fiscal quarters and are correlated to theatre attendance levels and new product releases and advertising client marketing priorities and cycles. The actual quarterly results for each quarter could differ materially depending on these factors or other risks and uncertainties. Based on our historical experience, our first quarter typically has less revenue than the other quarters of a given year due primarily to lower advertising client demand and lower theatre industry attendance levels. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that seasonal variations will not materially affect our results of operations in the future. The following table reflects the quarterly percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years ended 2009 and 2010.


	First Quarter			Second Quarter			Third Quarter			Fourth Quarter
FY 2009		19.3	%		24.4	%		25.1	%		31.2	%
FY 2010		19.8	%		23.2	%		29.4	%		27.6	%

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. We have entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap arrangements economically hedging $550.0 million of the $725.0 million term loan outstanding at June 30, 2011 at a fixed interest rate of 6.484%. For a discussion of market risks, see Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2010 and incorporated by reference herein. At June 30, 2011, the current interest rates on that debt are lower than those implicit in the hedge, thus a 100 basis point fluctuation in market interest rates would have the effect of increasing or decreasing our cash interest expense by approximately $2.1 million for an annual period on a total of $210.0 million of unhedged debt (which includes $35.0 million outstanding on our revolver). Because each of our interest rate swaps was in a liability position at June 30, 2011, we are not currently exposed to counterparty risk related to the swaps. Due to the debt restructuring, beginning in the third quarter of 2011 we will be exposed to only the interest rate risk on the outstanding revolver balance as the remaining term loan of $550.0 million is subject to the interest rate swap arrangements described above and the $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due in 2021 will be at a fixed rate. Refer to Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document and “–Known Trends and Uncertainties” above for a detailed discussion of the debt transactions in the third quarter of 2011.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2011, our management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011 were effective.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Second Amendment to Credit Agreement

Exhibit 10.4

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of June 20, 2011 among National CineMedia, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to this Amendment, Barclays Bank PLC (as successor to Lehman Commercial Paper Inc.), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and the other parties listed on the signature pages hereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are party to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 (as the same may have been amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).

(2) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, the Revolving Credit Lenders and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. (“Lehman”) are party to the Amendment, Resignation, Waiver, Consent and Appointment Agreement entered into as of March 31, 2010, whereby, amongst other things, the Revolving Credit Commitments of Lehman were reduced to zero ($0.00) and the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans held by Lehman at such time (the “Lehman Revolving Credit Loans”) were to be paid on the Final Revolving Termination Date (as defined therein).

(3) The Borrower and each party to this Amendment designated as a “Replacement Revolving Credit Lender” on its signature page hereto (each, a “Replacement Revolving Credit Lender”) wish to establish new Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) on the terms set forth herein to replace in full the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

(4) The Borrower and the Required Lenders party hereto have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to effect the changes described above and other changes as hereinafter set forth.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Replacement Revolving Credit Facility.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, there is hereby established, effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined below), replacement Revolving Credit Commitments under the Credit Agreement (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”) and the loans extended thereunder, together with the Lehman Revolving Credit Loans (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Loans”). The amount of the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments or Replacement Revolving Credit Loans of each Replacement Revolving Credit Lender shall be the amount set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite such Replacement Revolving Credit Lender’s name.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and the Replacement Revolving Credit Loans shall become effective and available (other than the Lehman Revolving Credit Loans) on a fully revolving basis during

the period from and including the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date until December 31, 2014 or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day (the “Replacement Revolving Credit Termination Date”). The Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and the Replacement Revolving Credit Loans are collectively referred to as the “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility.”

Subject to the amendments to the Credit Agreement set forth in Section 2 below, the terms and conditions applicable to the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments and the Replacement Revolving Credit Loans shall be identical to the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans, and, with respect to matters arising following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, references in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Revolving Credit Commitment,” “Revolving Credit Facility,” “Revolving Credit Loan,” “Revolving Credit Lender” and “Revolving Credit Termination Date” shall apply to the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Replacement Revolving Credit Lenders under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility as though such terms referred to the “Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments,” the “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility,” the “Replacement Revolving Credit Loans,” the “Replacement Revolving Credit Lenders” and the “Replacement Revolving Credit Termination Date”.

Any Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date shall automatically be deemed to be issued and outstanding under the Replacement Revolving Credit Facility from and after the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date.

Any Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (excluding the Lehman Revolving Credit Loans) shall be reallocated on such date in accordance with the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date Reallocation”). It is understood and agreed that prior to the earlier of (x) the Replacement Revolving Credit Termination Date or (y) such other date as the Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated in full, no prepayments of Replacement Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in respect of the outstanding Replacement Revolving Credit Loans held by Lehman and that Lehman’s ratable share of any such prepayment shall be allocated to the other Replacement Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages.

“(k) (x) repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or the grant, vesting or payment of other equity compensation awards if the Capital Stock represents all or a portion of the exercise price thereof or is to pay related withholding taxes upon exercise of options or upon the grant, vesting or payment of other equity compensation awards (whether such Capital Stock is withheld from the Capital Stock otherwise issuable or is delivered by the holder of the option or other award in satisfaction of any obligation), including, without limitation, repurchases of Capital Stock in connection with equity compensation described in Section 3.5(c) of the Borrower LLC Operating Agreement (as in effect on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date), and (y) Restricted Payments by the Borrower to allow the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional Capital Stock upon the exercise of options or warrants, upon the conversion or exchange of Capital Stock of the Borrower or in connection with the common unit adjustment pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement (as in effect on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date).”.

SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment No. 2. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”) when, and only when, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and the requisite Lenders constituting Required Lenders or, as to any of the Lenders, written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment.

(b) The Agents shall have received evidence that all fees and expenses of the Agents for which invoices have been presented (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent) shall have been paid.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have received the results of a recent lien search in each of the jurisdictions where the Loan Parties are organized, and such search shall reveal no liens on any of the assets of the Loan Party, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each document (including, without limitation, any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement) required by the Security Documents or under law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to be filed, registered or recorded in order to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected Lien on the Collateral described therein, prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement), shall have been filed, registered or recorded or shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in proper form for filing, registration or recordation.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received the executed legal opinion of Holme Roberts & Owen LLP, counsel to the Borrower, substantially in the form as delivered on the Closing Date. Such legal opinion shall cover such other matters incident to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require and shall be addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

(d) The Borrower hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents (as amended hereby) to which it is a party and (ii) ratifies and reaffirms each grant of a lien on, or security interest in, its property made pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the grant of security made by the Borrower pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) and confirms that such liens and security interests continue to secure the Obligations under the Loan Documents, subject to the terms thereof.
