The Company	Jun. 27, 2013
The Company [Abstract]
The Company	1. THE COMPANY Description of Business National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC” or “the Company”) commenced operations on April 1, 2005 and is owned by National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”, “manager” or “managing member”), 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”). NCM LLC operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, allowing NCM LLC to sell advertising and Fathom Events (the “Services”) under long-term exhibitor services agreements (“ESAs”) with AMC, Regal and Cinemark. AMC, Regal and Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as “founding members”. NCM LLC also provides the Services to certain third-party theatre circuits under network affiliate agreements referred to in this document as “network affiliates”, which expire at various dates. As of June 27, 2013, NCM LLC had 122,750,356 common membership units outstanding, of which 55,366,929 (45.1%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 24,332,152 (19.8%) were owned by Regal, 23,998,505 (19.6%) were owned by Cinemark and 19,052,770 (15.5%) were owned by AMC. The membership units held by the founding members are exchangeable into NCM, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company restructured Fathom Events. The Company continued to operate the Fathom Business Events division for a portion of the first quarter of 2012 to satisfy contractual obligations for events and has continued to execute business events on a periodic basis for existing long-term Fathom clients, or if requested by the founding members or to support events staged for NCM’s major advertising clients. On August 1, 2013, a non-binding letter of intent was executed to spin-off Fathom Events, as described further in Note 9 – Subsequent Event. Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes of NCM LLC 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. The balance sheet as of December 27, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM LLC. Therefore, the unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the NCM LLC audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2012. 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings. 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 3-Related-Party Transactions, 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, share-based compensation and interest rate swaps. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s annual financial statements included in Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2012 contain a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies. Revenue Recognition— The Company derives revenue principally from advertising revenue, which includes on-screen advertising, lobby network (LEN) and lobby promotions and advertising on entertainment websites and mobile applications owned by other companies. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. On-screen advertising consists of national and local advertising. National advertising is sold on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) basis, while local and regional advertising is sold on a per-screen, per-week basis. The Company recognizes national advertising as impressions (or theatre attendees) are delivered and recognizes local on-screen advertising revenue during the period in which the advertising airs. The Company recognizes revenue derived from lobby network and promotions when the advertising is displayed in theatre lobbies and recognizes revenue from branded entertainment websites and mobile applications when the online or mobile impressions are served. The Company may make contractual guarantees to deliver a specified number of impressions to view the customers’ advertising. If those contracted number of impressions are not delivered, the Company will either run additional advertising to deliver the contracted impressions at a later date, which the Company refers to as a make-good provision, or the Company will refund the fee related to the undelivered impressions. The Company defers the revenue associated with the make-good until the advertising airs to the theatre attendance specified in the advertising contract. The make-good provision is recorded within accrued expenses in the Condensed Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of being earned and is classified as a current liability as it is expected to be earned within the next twelve months. Fathom Events revenue is recognized in the period in which the event is held. 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. Fathom Events is an operating segment under ASC 280, but does not meet the annual quantitative thresholds for segment reporting. The Company does not evaluate its segments on a fully allocated cost basis, nor does the Company track segment assets separately. Therefore, the measure of segment operating income net of direct expenses presented herein is not prepared on the same basis as operating income in the statements of income and the results are not indicative of what segment results of operations would have been had it been operated on a fully allocated cost basis. The Company cautions that it would be inappropriate to assume that unallocated operating costs are incurred proportional to segment revenue or any directly identifiable segment expenses. Refer to Note 8-Segment Reporting. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers— 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. 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. As of June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012, there were no advertising agency groups or individual customers through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2013 and June 28, 2012, the Company had no customers which accounted for more than 10% of revenue. Income Taxes— NCM LLC’s fiscal year 2007 and 2008 tax returns are currently under examination by the IRS and in September 2011, NCM LLC received a NOPA for the calendar year 2007 examination primarily related to characterization of the cash received by the founding members at or around the date of the Company’s IPO. As NCM LLC is a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, there will be no direct impact to the financial statements of NCM LLC. NCM, Inc., in its capacity as tax matters partner for NCM LLC, submitted its written letter of protest to the IRS in July 2012, and in December 2012 NCM LLC was notified by the IRS that its case had formally been transferred from examination to administrative appeals. An appeals conference was held on May 14, 2013. We believe, based on discussions with the IRS, that all issues will be resolved in our favor; however, the matter remains open pending receipt of documentation from the IRS formally closing it. Share-Based Compensation—NCM, Inc. issues two types of share-based compensation awards: stock options and non-vested (restricted) stock. Restricted stock vests upon the achievement of NCM, Inc. performance measures and service conditions or only service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock that vests upon the achievement of NCM, Inc. performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares expected to vest. Ultimately, NCM, Inc. adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued quarterly on all unvested restricted stock and are only paid when the shares vest. Compensation cost of stock options is based on the estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires that NCM, Inc. make estimates of various factors. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company recognizes share-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and therefore only recognizes compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. The recognized expense, including equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees, is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. Upon the exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock, NCM, Inc. has the right to acquire from NCM LLC a number of common units equal to the number of NCM, Inc. shares being issued. In consideration for such units, NCM, Inc. contributes to NCM LLC the consideration received for the exercise of options or vesting of shares. For the three and six months ended June 27, 2013, NCM, Inc. acquired 505,866 and 880,670 units, respectively, due to the vesting of restricted stock and exercise of stock options and contributed $3.7 million and $4.3 million to NCM LLC for the three and six months ended June 27, 2013, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” (“ASU 2013-02”). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 seeks to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This accounting standard update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Refer to Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for the Company’s disclosures. 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 condensed financial statements.

Intangible Assets [Abstract]
Intangible Assets	2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS In accordance with NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement with its founding members, on an annual basis NCM LLC determines the amount of common membership units to be issued to or returned by the founding members based on theatre additions or dispositions during the previous year. During the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, NCM LLC issued 4,536,014 and 651,612 common membership units to its founding members, respectively, for the rights to exclusive access to net new theatre screens and attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network during the previous year. NCM LLC recorded a net intangible asset of $69.0 million and $9.9 million during the first quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively, as a result of the common unit adjustments. In lieu of surrendering 16,727 units in 2012, AMC paid NCM LLC $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. In addition, NCM LLC’s Common Unit Adjustment Agreement requires that a Common Unit Adjustment occur for a specific founding member if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or cumulatively since the most recent Common Unit Adjustment, results in an attendance increase or decrease in excess of two percent of the annual total attendance at the prior date. In June 2013, NCM LLC issued 5,315,837 common membership units to Cinemark for attendees added in connection with Cinemark’s acquisition of Rave Cinemas (“Rave”) on May 28, 2013. NCM LLC recorded a net intangible asset of $91.2 million during the three months ended June 27, 2013 for this common unit adjustment. In addition, Rave had pre-existing advertising agreements for some of the theatres it owned prior to the acquisition by Cinemark, as well as prior to the acquisition of certain Rave theatres by AMC in December 2012. As a result, AMC and Cinemark will make integration payments pursuant to the ESAs on a quarterly basis in arrears in accordance with certain run-out provisions. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2013, NCM LLC recorded a reduction to net intangible assets of $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to integration payments due from AMC and Cinemark. During the three months and six months ended June 27, 2013, the founding members paid $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in integration payments. The other $0.9 million of integration payments will be paid in the third quarter of 2013. The Company’s intangible assets with its founding members are recorded at the fair market value of NCM, Inc.’s publicly traded stock as of the date on which the common membership units were issued. The NCM LLC common membership units are fully convertible into NCM, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, the Company records intangible assets for up-front fees paid to network affiliates upon commencement of a network affiliate agreement. The Company’s intangible assets have a finite useful life and the Company amortizes the assets over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs or the term of the contract with the network affiliate. If common membership units are issued to a founding member for newly acquired theatres that are subject to an existing on-screen advertising agreement with an alternative provider, the amortization of the intangible asset commences after the existing agreement expires and NCM LLC can utilize the theatres for all of its services. Integration payments are calculated based upon the advertising cash flow that the Company would have generated if it had exclusive access to sell advertising in the theatres with pre-existing advertising agreements.

____________

(1)	A portion of the revolving credit facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2014, as described in further detail below.

(2)	The interest rates on the revolving credit facility and term loan are described below.

Senior Secured Credit Facility— The Company’s senior secured credit facility consists of a $124.0 million revolving credit facility and a $270.0 million term loan. On May 2, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of its senior secured credit facility whereby the facility was increased from $265.0 million to $270.0 million. In connection with the amendment, the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and term loans were reduced as described further below. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $0.5 million for the write-off of net deferred issuance costs associated with the prior agreement and recorded approximately $0.7 million for certain new fees. The obligations under the facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Revolving Credit Facility— The revolving credit facility portion of the Company’s total borrowings 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 senior secured credit facility, and a portion is available for letters of credit.

The Company’s total availability under the revolving credit facility is $124.0 million. The unused line fee is 0.50% per annum. Of the total available, $14.0 million outstanding principal of the revolving credit facility formerly held by Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) will not be repaid in connection with any future prepayments of the revolving credit facility amounts, but rather Lehman’s share of the revolving credit facility will be paid in full by the Company to the successor lenders, along with any accrued and unpaid fees and interest, on the revolving credit facility termination date of December 31, 2014. The maturity date applicable to any remaining outstanding principal is November 26, 2017.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the Company’s option of either the LIBOR index plus an applicable margin or the base rate (Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the senior secured credit facility) plus an applicable margin. 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 the Company (the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, over a non-GAAP measure defined in the credit facility). On May 2, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment of its senior secured credit facility whereby the applicable margins on the $110.0 million portion of the revolving credit facility decreased by 25 basis points to the LIBOR index plus 2.00% or the base rate plus 1.00%. The margins on the $14.0 million portion of the revolving credit facility remained unchanged at the LIBOR index plus 1.50% or the base rate plus 0.50%. The weighted-average interest rate on the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility as of June 27, 2013 was 1.70%.

Term Loans— In connection with the amendment of its senior secured credit facility on May 2, 2013, the interest rate on the term loans decreased by 50 basis points to a rate at the Company’s option of either the LIBOR index plus 2.75% or the base rate (Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as defined in the senior secured credit facility) plus 1.75%. The weighted-average interest rate on the term loans as of June 27, 2013 was 2.95%. Interest on the term loans is currently paid monthly.

The senior secured credit facility contains a number of covenants and financial ratio requirements, with which the Company was in compliance as of June 27, 2013, including maintaining a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio of equal to or less than 6.5 times on a quarterly basis. In addition, 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 Company is in compliance with its debt covenants. As of June 27, 2013, the Company’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio was 2.9 times (versus the covenant of 6.5 times).

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021— On July 5, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Unsecured Notes (“Senior Unsecured Notes”) for which the registered exchange offering was completed on September 22, 2011. The Senior Unsecured Notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, which commenced January 15, 2012. The notes are subordinated to all existing and future secured debt, including indebtedness under the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility and the Senior Secured Notes defined below. The Senior Unsecured Notes contain certain covenants with which the Company was in compliance as of June 27, 2013.

Senior Secured Notes due 2022— On April 27, 2012, the Company completed a private placement of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) for which the registered exchange offering was completed on November 26, 2012. The Senior Secured Notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, which commenced October 15, 2012. The Senior Secured Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company, rank the same as the Company’s senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions, and share in the same collateral that secures the Company’s obligations under the senior secured credit facility. The Senior Secured Notes contain certain covenants with which the Company was in compliance as of June 27, 2013.

Commitments And Contingencies	5. 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, results of operations or cash flows. Minimum Revenue Guarantees― As part of the network affiliate agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business under which the Company sells advertising for display in various network affiliate theatre chains, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees on a per attendee basis. If a network 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 three to 20 years, prior to any renewal periods of which some are at the option of the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $34.0 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. As of June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these obligations as such guarantees are less than the expected share of revenue paid to the affiliate.

Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The carrying amount of the revolving credit facility is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value due to its floating-rate terms.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments where carrying values do not approximate fair value are as follows:



	As of June 27, 2013				As of December 27, 2012
($ in millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value (1)		Carrying Value		Fair Value (1)
Term Loans	$	270.0	$	268.1	$	265.0	$	265.8
Senior Unsecured Notes		200.0		217.2		200.0		222.0
Senior Secured Notes		400.0		411.0		400.0		425.5

(1)	The Company has estimated the fair value on an average of at least two non-binding broker quotes and the Company’s analysis. If the Company were to measure the borrowings in the above table at fair value on the balance sheet they would be classified as Level 2.

During the fourth quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012, the Company received equity securities in a privately held company as consideration for an advertising contract, which the Company accounted for as a cost method investment. The fair value of the investment has not been estimated as of June 27, 2013 or December 27, 2012 as there were no identified events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and it is not practicable to do so because the equity securities are not in a publicly traded company. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment was $0.8 million and $0.8 million as of June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012, respectively.

As of June 27, 2013, there was approximately $16.7 million outstanding related to these discontinued cash flow hedges which continues to be reported in AOCI, as the underlying debt transactions (interest payments) remain probable of occurring, and will be amortized in the Condensed Statements of Income over the remaining swap agreement term, or February 13, 2015.

During the three and six months ended June 28, 2012, the Company also recorded changes in the fair value and amortization of AOCI related to an interest rate swap on its term loan in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting in 2008 due to the bankruptcy of its counterparty.

Subsequent Event	6 Months Ended
Subsequent Event	Jun. 27, 2013
Subsequent Event [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 1, 2013, a non-binding letter of intent was signed amongst NCM LLC, Regal, Cinemark and AMC whereby NCM LLC will contribute the assets of its Fathom Events division to a new entity to be formed by the founding members in exchange for an interest-bearing $25 million promissory note guaranteed by the founding members. NCM LLC will retain a 10% ownership in the new entity and Regal, Cinemark and AMC will own the remaining 90%. The letter of intent provides for a transition services agreement whereby NCM LLC will agree to provide certain corporate overhead services to the new entity for a period of nine months following the closing for a fee. The closing of the transaction is expected late in the third quarter of 2013 or early in the fourth quarter of 2013. Due to the related party nature of this transaction, the Company formed a committee of independent directors which is being advised by an independent investment banking advisory firm.

The Company (Policy)	6 Months Ended
The Company (Policy)	Jun. 27, 2013
The Company [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company has prepared the unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes of NCM LLC 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. The balance sheet as of December 27, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements of NCM LLC. Therefore, the unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the NCM LLC audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2012. 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings. 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 3-Related-Party Transactions, 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	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, share-based compensation and interest rate swaps. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition— The Company derives revenue principally from advertising revenue, which includes on-screen advertising, lobby network (LEN) and lobby promotions and advertising on entertainment websites and mobile applications owned by other companies. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. On-screen advertising consists of national and local advertising. National advertising is sold on a cost per thousand (“CPM”) basis, while local and regional advertising is sold on a per-screen, per-week basis. The Company recognizes national advertising as impressions (or theatre attendees) are delivered and recognizes local on-screen advertising revenue during the period in which the advertising airs. The Company recognizes revenue derived from lobby network and promotions when the advertising is displayed in theatre lobbies and recognizes revenue from branded entertainment websites and mobile applications when the online or mobile impressions are served. The Company may make contractual guarantees to deliver a specified number of impressions to view the customers’ advertising. If those contracted number of impressions are not delivered, the Company will either run additional advertising to deliver the contracted impressions at a later date, which the Company refers to as a make-good provision, or the Company will refund the fee related to the undelivered impressions. The Company defers the revenue associated with the make-good until the advertising airs to the theatre attendance specified in the advertising contract. The make-good provision is recorded within accrued expenses in the Condensed Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue consists of payments received in advance of being earned and is classified as a current liability as it is expected to be earned within the next twelve months. Fathom Events revenue is recognized in the period in which the event is held.
Segment Reporting	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. Fathom Events is an operating segment under ASC 280, but does not meet the annual quantitative thresholds for segment reporting. The Company does not evaluate its segments on a fully allocated cost basis, nor does the Company track segment assets separately. Therefore, the measure of segment operating income net of direct expenses presented herein is not prepared on the same basis as operating income in the statements of income and the results are not indicative of what segment results of operations would have been had it been operated on a fully allocated cost basis. The Company cautions that it would be inappropriate to assume that unallocated operating costs are incurred proportional to segment revenue or any directly identifiable segment expenses. Refer to Note 8-Segment Reporting.
Concentration Of Credit Risk And Significant Customers	Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers— 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. 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. As of June 27, 2013 and December 27, 2012, there were no advertising agency groups or individual customers through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance. During the three and six months ended June 27, 2013 and June 28, 2012, the Company had no customers which accounted for more than 10% of revenue.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes— NCM LLC’s fiscal year 2007 and 2008 tax returns are currently under examination by the IRS and in September 2011, NCM LLC received a NOPA for the calendar year 2007 examination primarily related to characterization of the cash received by the founding members at or around the date of the Company’s IPO. As NCM LLC is a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, there will be no direct impact to the financial statements of NCM LLC. NCM, Inc., in its capacity as tax matters partner for NCM LLC, submitted its written letter of protest to the IRS in July 2012, and in December 2012 NCM LLC was notified by the IRS that its case had formally been transferred from examination to administrative appeals. An appeals conference was held on May 14, 2013. We believe, based on discussions with the IRS, that all issues will be resolved in our favor; however, the matter remains open pending receipt of documentation from the IRS formally closing it.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation—NCM, Inc. issues two types of share-based compensation awards: stock options and non-vested (restricted) stock. Restricted stock vests upon the achievement of NCM, Inc. performance measures and service conditions or only service conditions. Compensation expense of restricted stock that vests upon the achievement of NCM, Inc. performance measures is based on management’s financial projections and the probability of achieving the projections, which require considerable judgment. A cumulative adjustment is recorded to share-based compensation expense in periods that management changes its estimate of the number of shares expected to vest. Ultimately, NCM, Inc. adjusts the expense recognized to reflect the actual vested shares following the resolution of the performance conditions. Dividends are accrued quarterly on all unvested restricted stock and are only paid when the shares vest. Compensation cost of stock options is based on the estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires that NCM, Inc. make estimates of various factors. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, the Company recognizes share-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and therefore only recognizes compensation cost for those shares expected to vest over the requisite service period of the award. The recognized expense, including equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees, is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. Upon the exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock, NCM, Inc. has the right to acquire from NCM LLC a number of common units equal to the number of NCM, Inc. shares being issued. In consideration for such units, NCM, Inc. contributes to NCM LLC the consideration received for the exercise of options or vesting of shares. For the three and six months ended June 27, 2013, NCM, Inc. acquired 505,866 and 880,670 units, respectively, due to the vesting of restricted stock and exercise of stock options and contributed $3.7 million and $4.3 million to NCM LLC for the three and six months ended June 27, 2013, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)” (“ASU 2013-02”). The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 seeks to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This accounting standard update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Refer to Note 7 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for the Company’s disclosures. 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 condensed financial statements.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for income taxes, which may include its accounting policies for recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, recognizing investment tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other carryforwards, methodologies for determining its effective income tax rate and the characterization of interest and penalties in the financial statements.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.
