IMAX Corporation (the "Company") is filing this amendment no.1 on Form 10-K/A
(the "Form 10-K/A") to amend Items 6, 7 and 8 of Part II and Item 15(a) of Part
IV of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2002, which was originally filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on March 7, 2003 (the "Form 10-K"). No other information included in the
original Form 10-K is amended hereby.

     Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of
FAS 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002" ("FAS 145"), under which
gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be classified as
extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the
Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"). Under FAS 145, the
Company was required to reclassify any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt
that was classified as an extraordinary item to net earnings from continuing
operations before income taxes for 2003 and all prior period presentations. The
Company has reclassified the extraordinary gains on the repurchase of its
convertible subordinated notes in 2002 and 2001 as net earnings from continuing
operations before income taxes. The Company has applied FAS 145 within this Form
10-K/A for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 which had the
effect of reclassifying gains on the retirement of notes of $8.3 million, net of
income tax expense of $3.6 million, $38.7 million, net of income tax expense of
$16.8 million, and $nil, respectively from extraordinary items to net earnings
from continuing operations before income taxes.

     The Company has also reclassified foreign exchange gains (losses) to be
included within selling general and administrative expenses for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in the amounts of $0.4 million, $(1.4)
million, and $(1.8) million, respectively. The Company has also reclassified
receivable provisions (recoveries) previously included within selling, general
and administrative expenses and restructuring costs and asset impairment
(recoveries) to be separately reported as receivable provisions, net of
(recoveries) in the amounts of $(1.2) million, $17.3 million, and $13.1 million,
respectively.

     The information included in this Form 10-K/A has not been updated for any
events that have occurred subsequent to the originally filed Form 10-K on March
7, 2003. For a discussion of events and developments subsequent to December 31,
2002, see the Company's reports filed with the SEC since March 7, 2003.

EXCHANGE RATE DATA

     Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this document are

                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

     IMAX Corporation together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") is one of the world's leading entertainment technology companies,
specializing in large-format film images, three-dimensional ("3D") film
presentations and large-format post-production. The Company's primary business
is the design, manufacture and lease of projection and sound systems for
giant-screen, 15-perforation film frame, 70mm format ("15/70-format") theaters
based on proprietary and patented technology. The Company is also a major
distributor of films for giant-screen theaters (IMAX theaters). The majority of
IMAX theaters are operated by third parties under lease agreements with the
Company.

     The Company is also engaged in the production, post-production, digital
re-mastering and distribution of 15/70 format films, the operation of IMAX
theaters and other operations in support of IMAX theaters and the IMAX theater
network.

     The Company believes the IMAX theater network is the most extensive
large-format theater network in the world with 232 theaters operating in more
than 30 countries as of December 31, 2002. Of these 232 theaters, 112 of them
are currently located in institutional locations and 120 in commercial
locations. While the Company's roots are in the institutional market, the
Company believes that the commercial market is potentially larger. To increase
the demand for IMAX theater systems, the Company is currently working to
position the IMAX theater network as a new window for Hollywood event films. To
this end the Company has both developed a technology that allows standard 35mm
movies to be converted to its format and is also working to build strong
relationships with Hollywood studios and commercial exhibition companies.

     In 2000, Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, a unit of The Walt Disney
Company, released Disney's animated feature Fantasia 2000: The IMAX
Experience(R) to 75 IMAX theaters around the world. Fantasia 2000 was the first
theatrical full-length feature film to be reformatted into 15/70-format film and
became the fastest grossing large-format film in history. In January 2002,
Disney released Beauty and the Beast to 77 IMAX theaters around the world and
has stated that it will release an additional three films over the next 12
months. The Company believes that the commercial success of Fantasia 2000 and
Beauty and the Beast coupled with its new digital re-mastering technology has
the potential to lead to the release of additional Hollywood films into IMAX
theaters which could create further demand worldwide for commercial IMAX
theaters.

     In March 2002, the Company introduced a technology that can convert
live-action 35mm films to IMAX's 15/70-format film, transforming it into the
image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience(R). The Company believes that
this proprietary system, know as IMAX(R) Digital Re-Mastering(TM) (IMAX(R)
DMR(TM)), could position IMAX theaters as a new window for Hollywood event
films. Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience, was released in conjunction with
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment in September 2002, and was the
first film to use this technology. Subsequently, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of
the Clones - The IMAX Experience debuted on November 1, 2002.

     The Company generally does not own IMAX theaters but leases its projection
and sound systems, and licenses the use of its trademarks. IMAX theater systems
combine advanced, high-resolution projection systems, sound systems and screens
as large as eight stories high (approximately 80 feet) that extend to the edge
of a viewer's peripheral vision to create immersive audio-visual experiences. As
a result, audiences feel as if they are a part of the on-screen action in a way
that is more intense and exciting than in traditional theaters. In addition, the
Company's IMAX 3D theater systems combine the same projection and sound systems
and up to eight story screens with 3D images that further increase the
audience's feeling of immersion in the film. The Company believes that the
network of IMAX 3D theaters is the largest out-of-home, 3D-distribution network
in the world.

     The Company was formed in March 1994 as a result of an amalgamation between
WGIM Acquisition Corp. and the former IMAX Corporation ("Predecessor IMAX").
Predecessor IMAX was incorporated in 1967.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (cont'd)

PRODUCT LINES

     The Company believes it is the largest designer and manufacturer of
specialty projection and sound systems and a significant producer and
distributor of 15/70-format films for giant-screen theaters. The Company's
theater systems include specialized projection equipment, advanced sound
systems, specialty screens, theater automation control systems and film handling
equipment. The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from the
sale and lease of its theater systems to giant-screen theaters and related film
products and services. Segmented information is provided in note 19 to the
audited financial statements contained in Item 8.

IMAX SYSTEMS

     IMAX THEATERS

     The Company is the pioneer and leader in the giant-screen, large-format
film industry. The IMAX theater network has the largest installed base of
giant-screen theater systems, with systems located in 232 theaters in more than
30 countries as of December 31, 2002. IMAX theaters have flat or dome shaped
screens for two-dimensional ("2D") and 3D presentations which are many times
larger than conventional theaters, extending to the edge of the viewer's
peripheral vision. The theaters have a steeply inclined floor to provide all
audience members a clear view of the screen and typically seat 250 to 500
people.

     The Company's projection systems utilize the largest commercially available
film format (15-perforation film frame, 70mm), which is nearly 10 times larger
than conventional film (4-perforation film frame, 35mm) and therefore are able
to project significantly more detail on a larger screen. The Company believes
its projectors, which utilize the Company's rolling loop technology, are
unsurpassed in their ability to project film with maximum steadiness and clarity
with minimal film wear while substantially enhancing the quality of the
projected image. As a result, the Company's projection systems deliver a higher
level of clarity, detail and brightness compared to conventional movies and
competing systems.

     To complement the film technology and viewing experience, IMAX theater
systems feature unique digital sound systems. The sound systems are among the
most advanced in the industry and help to heighten the sense of realism of a
15/70-format film. IMAX sound systems are specifically designed for IMAX
theaters and are an important competitive advantage of IMAX systems.

     THEATER SYSTEM LEASES. The Company's system leases generally have 10 to
20-year initial terms and are typically renewable by the customer for one or
more additional 10-year terms. As part of the lease agreement, the Company
advises the customer on theater design, custom assemblies and supervises the
installation of the theater system, provides training in using the equipment to
theater personnel and for a separate fee provides ongoing maintenance to the
system. Prospective theater owners are responsible for providing the theater
location, the design and construction of the theater building, the installation
of the system and any other necessary improvements. Under the terms of the
typical lease agreement, the title to all theater system equipment (including
the projection screen, the projector and the sound system) remains with the
Company. The Company has the right to remove the equipment for non-payment or
other defaults by the customer. The contracts are generally not cancelable by
the customer unless the Company fails to perform its obligations. The contracts
are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, except in Canada and Japan, where
contracts are generally denominated in Canadian dollars and Japanese Yen,
respectively.

     The typical lease agreement provides for three major sources of revenue:
(i) initial rental fees, (ii) ongoing additional rental payments and (iii)
ongoing maintenance fees. Rental payments and maintenance fees are generally
received over the life of the contract and are usually adjusted annually based
on changes in the local consumer price index. The terms of each lease agreement
vary according to the system technology provided and the geographic location of
the customer.

     SALES BACKLOG. Signed contracts for theater system installations are listed
as sales backlog prior to the time of revenue recognition. Sales backlog
represents the total value of all signed system sales and lease agreements that
are contracted to be recognized as revenue in the future. Sales backlog includes
initial rental fees along with the present value of contractual minimum rents
due over the lease term, but excludes maintenance revenues as well as rents in
excess of contractual minimums that might be received in the future. Sales
backlog does not include revenues from theaters in which the Company has an
equity-interest, agreements covered by letters of intent or conditional theater
commitments.

IMAX SYSTEMS (cont'd)

     IMAX THEATERS (cont'd)

     The Company believes that all of the contractual obligations of customers
whose systems are listed in sales backlog are valid and binding commitments.
However, there can be no assurances that customers will ultimately honor such
obligations, or that the Company will be successful if it litigated to enforce
such obligations. In addition, customers with system obligations in backlog
sometimes request that the Company agree to modify or reduce such obligations.
The Company has, from time-to-time, agreed to restructure certain lease
obligations of its customers under certain circumstances, and there can be no
assurances that other backlog obligations of customers will not be modified,
reduced or otherwise restructured in the future.

     The following chart shows the number of the Company's theater systems by
product, installed base and backlog as of December 31:

     The Company's sales backlog was $154.9 million at December 31, 2002 (2001 -
$157.0 million) which represented contracts for 63 theater systems (2001 - 60
theater systems). The Company expects to install between 15 to 20 theater
systems from its sales backlog in 2003 (2002 - 13 theater systems). The Company
installed 3 theater systems in 2002, that were not included in the December 31,
2001 backlog total.

     IMAX AND IMAX DOME SYSTEMS. IMAX and IMAX Dome systems make up the largest
component of the Company's installed theater base. IMAX theaters, with a flat
screen, were introduced in 1970, while IMAX Dome theaters (2D and 3D), which are
designed for tilted dome screens, were introduced in 1973. There have been
several significant proprietary and patented enhancements to these systems since
their introduction.

     IMAX 3D AND IMAX 3D SR SYSTEMS. IMAX 3D theaters utilize a flat screen 3D
system which produces realistic three-dimensional images on a giant IMAX screen.
The Company believes that the IMAX 3D system offers consumers one of the most
realistic 3D experiences available today. To create the 3D effect, the audience
uses either polarized or electronic glasses that separate the left-eye and
right-eye images. The IMAX 3D projectors can project both 2D and 3D films,
allowing theater owners the flexibility to exhibit either type of film. The
Company offers upgrades to existing theaters which have 2D IMAX projection
systems to IMAX 3D projection systems. Since the introduction of IMAX 3D
technology, the Company has upgraded 14 theater systems.

     In 1997, the Company launched a smaller IMAX 3D system called IMAX 3D SR, a
patented theater system that combines a proprietary theater design, a more
automated projection system and specialized sound system to replicate the
experience of a larger IMAX 3D theater in a smaller space (up to 270 seats). The
IMAX 3D SR theater system is designed to be located primarily in multiplexes in
smaller cities and to operate at lower costs than the larger IMAX 3D theater
system.

     SOUND SYSTEMS

     The Company believes it is a world leader in the design and manufacture of
sound systems for all applications including traditional movie theaters,
auditoriums and specialized uses including the development of 3D sound
capabilities and manufacturing of the sound systems for IMAX theaters. In
February 2001, the Company decided to relocate the manufacture of sound systems
from Birmingham, Alabama to the Company's headquarters near Toronto, Canada.

FILMS

     FILM PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND POST-PRODUCTION

     The Company produces films which are financed internally and through third
parties. With respect to films financed by third parties, the Company generally
receives a film production fee in exchange for producing the films and is
appointed the exclusive distributor of the film. When the Company produces
films, it typically hires production talent and specialists on a
project-by-project basis allowing the Company to retain creative and quality
control without the burden of significant ongoing overhead expenses. Typically,
the ownership rights to films produced for third parties are held by the film
sponsors, the film investors and the Company.

     The Company is a significant distributor of 15/70-format films. The Company
generally distributes films which it produces and has acquired distribution
rights to films produced by independent producers. The Company has distribution
rights to more 15/70-format films than any competing distributor. As
distributor, the Company generally receives a percentage of the theater box
office receipts.

     The library of 15/70-format films includes general entertainment and
educational films on subjects such as space, wildlife, music, history and
natural wonders, and consisted of 200 films at the end of 2002, of which the
Company had distribution rights to 59 such films. In recent years, several
15/70-format commercial films have been successfully released, including SPACE
STATION which was released in April 2002 and has grossed over $39.0 million as
of December 31, 2002, T-REX: Back to the Cretaceous, which was released by the
Company in 1998 and has grossed over $72.5 million to date, Everest, which was
released by MacGillivray Freeman Films in 1998 and has grossed over $120.6
million to date and Fantasia 2000: The IMAX Experience(R) which was released by
the Company and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, a unit of The Walt Disney
Company in 2000. Fantasia 2000, the first theatrical full-length feature film to
be reformatted into 15/70-format film and became the fastest grossing
large-format film in history and has grossed over $80.5 million to date.
15/70-format films have significantly longer exhibition periods than
conventional 35mm films and many of the films in the library have remained
popular for significantly longer periods including the films To Fly! (1976),
Grand Canyon - The Hidden Secrets (1984) and The Dream Is Alive (1985). In 2002,
there were 21 new films released in the 15/70-format by all distributors.

     In 2002, the Company commenced production of 15/70-format films, which are
re-mastered from 35mm studio films using the Company's IMAX DMR technology. The
Company generally receives a processing fee for IMAX DMR re-mastering, the cost
of which is borne by the rights holder of the 35mm film. The Company may also
receive distribution rights to the 15/70-format films produced using the IMAX
DMR technology.

     The Company released the first film using IMAX DMR, Imagine Entertainment's
Apollo 13: The IMAX Experience, in 22 theaters in September 2002. The Company
produced its second IMAX DMR re-mastered film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of
the Clones - The IMAX Experience, which was released by 20th Century Fox in
November 2002 in 58 theaters.

     FILM PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION AND POST-PRODUCTION (cont'd)

     David Keighley Productions 70MM Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, provides film post-production and quality control services for
15/70-format films (whether produced internally or externally), and digital
post-production services.

     DIGITAL RE-MASTERING ("IMAX DMR")

     The Company has developed technology that makes it possible for any 35mm
live-action film to be transformed into the unparalleled image and sound quality
of The IMAX Experience. This patent-pending, proprietary system, known as IMAX
DMR, opens the IMAX theater network up to releases from Hollywood's massive
library of films ranging from well-known classics to today's event films. The
resulting images are as large, sharp and visually stunning as the classic IMAX
films audiences historically associate with the IMAX brand.

     The IMAX DMR process involves the following:

     o    scanning, at the highest resolution possible, each individual frame of
          the 35mm film and converting it into a digital image;

     o    optimizing the image using proprietary image enhancement tools
          developed and refined over many years;

     o    analyzing the information contained within a 35mm frame format and
          enhancing the digital image using techniques such as sharpening, color
          correction, grain removal and the elimination of unsteadiness; and

     o    recording the enhanced digital signal onto 15/70-format film.

     During the re-mastering process, IMAX DMR technology introduces no
perceptible digital artifacts and the highly automated system allows the process
to meet rigorous film production schedules.

     For IMAX DMR releases, the original soundtrack of the 35mm film is
re-mastered for IMAX's six-channel loudspeaker system. Unlike conventional
theater sound systems, IMAX sound systems are uncompressed, full fidelity and
use proprietary loudspeaker systems that ensure every theater seat is in a good
listening position with surround sound that puts audiences in the picture. With
IMAX DMR the Company can create that immersive experience with clear,
distortion-free soundtracks for films originally produced in 35mm. While the
Company can only convert 35mm images into IMAX's 15/70-format film in 2D today,
the Company has a research and development program underway focused on
converting live action 35mm film to IMAX 3D. However, the Company currently has
the ability to convert computer generated animation to IMAX 3D and have done so
successfully with the 1999 release of Cyberworld.

OTHER

     THEATER OPERATIONS AND INVESTMENTS

     The Company has seven owned and operated theaters and four theaters in
which the Company has entered into commercial arrangements with third parties to
operate the theaters and share in profits and losses.

     In the case of third-party theaters, the Company generally contributes the
projection and sound system to the theater in exchange for a percentage of the
theater revenues and/or profits and losses. The Company's partner is generally
responsible for constructing and outfitting the theater. The Company may also
provide management services in return for a fee or a percentage of theater
revenues as part of the equity interest.

     CAMERAS

     The Company rents 2D and 3D 15/70-format cameras and provides technical and
post-production services to third-party producers for a fee. The Company
maintains cameras and other film equipment to support third-party producers and
also offers production advice and technical assistance to filmmakers.

     The Company has developed state-of-the-art patented dual and single
filmstrip 3D cameras which are among the most advanced motion pictures cameras
in the world and are the only 3D cameras of their kind. The IMAX 3D camera
simultaneously shoots left-eye and right-eye images and its compact size allows
filmmakers access to a variety of locations, such as underwater or aboard
aircrafts. The Company has dual filmstrip cameras available for rent.

MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS

     The Company markets its theater systems through a direct sales force and
marketing staff located in offices in Canada, the United States, Europe, China
and Japan. In addition, the Company has agreements with consultants, business
brokers and real estate professionals to locate potential customers and theater
sites for the Company on a commission basis.

     The Company has experienced an increase in the number of commercial theater
signings and international signings since 1995. The commercial theater segment
of the Company's theater network is now its largest segment with a total of 120
theaters opened. At December 31, 2002, 38.0% of all opened theaters are for
locations outside of North America. The Company's institutional customers
include science and natural history museums, zoos, aquaria and other educational
and cultural centers. The Company also leases its systems to theme parks,
tourist destination sites, fairs and expositions. The following tables outlines
the breakdown of installations by geographic segment as at December 31:

ITEM 1. BUSINESS (cont'd)

INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION

     The Company competes with a number of manufacturers of large-format film
projection systems; most of which utilize smaller film formats, including
8-perforation film frame, 70mm and 10-perforation film frame, 70mm formats,
which the Company believes delivers an image that is inferior to The IMAX
Experience. The IMAX theater network and the number of 15/70-format films to
which the Company has distribution rights are substantially larger than those of
its 15/70-format competitors, and IMAX DMR reformatted films are available
exclusively to the IMAX theater network. The Company's customers generally
consider a number of criteria when selecting a large-format theater including
quality, reputation, brand name recognition, type of system, features, price and
service. The Company believes that its competitive strengths include the value
of the IMAX(R) brand name, the quality and historic up-time of IMAX theater
systems, the number and quality of 15/70-format films that it distributes, the
quality of the sound system included with the IMAX theater, the potential
availability of Hollywood event films to IMAX theaters through IMAX DMR
technology and the level of the Company's service and maintenance efforts.
Virtually all of the best performing large format theaters in the world are IMAX
theaters.

     The commercial success of the Company's products is ultimately dependent
upon consumer preferences. The out-of-home entertainment industry in general
continues to go through significant changes, primarily due to technological
developments and changing consumer tastes. Numerous companies are developing new
entertainment products for the out-of-home entertainment industry and there are
not guaranties that some of these new products will not be competitive with,
superior to or more cost effective than the Company's products.

THE IMAX BRAND

     The IMAX brand is world famous and stands for immersive family
entertainment that combines stunning images of exceptional quality and clarity
on screens up to one-hundred feet wide and eight stories tall with the Company's
proprietary 6-channel digital sound systems and unique theater designs. The
Company believes that like Disney, IMAX is one of the few brands generally
recognized by consumers in filmed entertainment. The Company's research shows
that moviegoers decide to take their families specifically to an IMAX theater
and consider it a special event. In addition, the Company believes that its
significant brand loyalty among consumers provides it with a strong, sustainable
position in the large-format theater industry. The IMAX brand name cuts across
geographic and demographic boundaries.

     Historically, the Company's brand identity was grounded in its educational
film presentations to families around the world. With an increasing number of
IMAX theaters based in multiplexes and with a recent history of commercially
successful films such as Everest, Fantasia 2000: The IMAX Experience and Beauty
and the Beast, IMAX is rapidly increasing its commercial presence. The Company
believes the strength of the IMAX brand will be an asset as it seeks for IMAX
theaters to become a new window for Hollywood films. The Company believes that
people will see the IMAX presentation of these films as a special, high-quality
experience.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     The Company believes that it is one of the world's leading entertainment
technology companies with significant in-house proprietary expertise in
projection system, camera and sound system design, engineering and imaging
technology. The Company believes that the motion picture industry will be
affected by the development of digital technologies, particularly in the areas
of content creation (image capture), post-production (editing and special
effects), digital re-mastering (such as IMAX DMR), distribution and display. The
Company has made significant investments in digital technologies, including the
development of a proprietary, patent-pending technology to digitally enhance
image resolution and quality of 35mm motion picture films, and has a number of
patents pending and intellectual property rights in these areas.

     A key to the performance and reliability of the IMAX projector system is
the Company's unique "rolling loop" film movement. The rolling loop advances the
film horizontally in a smooth, wave-like motion, which enhances the stability of
the image and greatly reduces wear of the film.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (cont'd)

     In 1997, the Company introduced the IMAX 3D SR projector, which was
designed especially for multiplex operators and significantly lowered the
capital and operating costs of IMAX theaters. The introduction of the SR theater
system opened up new markets for the Company as the SR system requires a smaller
attendance draw to earn a required financial return. IMAX believes that there
are still significant operation and capital cost savings to be achieved in
building and operating IMAX theater systems and the Company is currently
involved in a research and development project focused on this area.

     The IMAX DMR technology converts a 35mm frame into its digital form at a
very high resolution. The proprietary system recreates a pristine form of the
original photography. The Company believes the proprietary computer process
makes the images sharper than the original and the completed re-mastered film,
now nearly 10 times larger than the original, is transferred onto the world's
largest film format, 15/70-format. Each film's original soundtrack is also
recreated and upgraded to Company standards.

     Several of the underlying technologies and resulting products and systems
of the Company are covered by patents or patent applications. Other underlying
technologies are available to competitors, in part because of the expiration of
certain patents owned by the Company. The Company, however, has successfully
obtained patent protection covering several of its significant improvements made
to such technologies. The Company plans to continue to fund research and
development activity in areas considered important to the Company's continued
commercial success.

     As of December 31, 2002, 27 of the Company's employees were connected with
research and development projects.

MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE

PROJECTION SYSTEMS MANUFACTURING

     The Company assembles its giant-screen projection systems at its Corporate
Headquarters and Technology Center in Mississauga, Canada (near Toronto). A
majority of the components for the Company's systems are purchased from outside
vendors. The Company develops and designs all the key elements for the
proprietary technology involved in its projector and camera systems. Fabrication
of these components is then subcontracted to a group of carefully pre-qualified
suppliers. Manufacture and supply contracts are signed for the delivery of
components on an order-by-order basis. The Company has developed long-term
relationships with a number of significant suppliers, and the Company believes
its existing suppliers will continue to supply quality products in quantities
sufficient to satisfy its needs. The Company inspects all components and
sub-assemblies, completes the final assembly and then subjects the systems to
comprehensive testing prior to shipment. IMAX theater systems have had
historical operating uptimes based on scheduled shows of approximately 99.9%.

SOUND SYSTEMS MANUFACTURING

     The Company develops, designs and assembles the key elements of its theater
sound systems. The standard IMAX theater sound system comprises components from
a variety of sources with approximately 50% of the materials cost of each system
attributable to proprietary components provided under original equipment
manufacturers agreements with outside vendors. These proprietary components
include custom loudspeaker enclosures and horns and specialized amplifiers,
signal processing and control equipment. In February 2001, the Company decided
to relocate the manufacture of sound systems from Birmingham, Alabama to the
Company's headquarters near Toronto, Canada.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

     The Company provides key services and support functions for the IMAX
theater network and for filmmakers. To support the IMAX theater network, the
Company has personnel stationed in major markets who provide periodic and
emergency service and maintenance on existing systems throughout the world. The
Company's personnel typically visit each theater every three months to service
the projection and sound systems. The Company also provides theater design
expertise for both the visual and audio aspects of the theater, as well as
system installation and equipment training.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In November 2001, the Company filed a complaint with the High Court of
Munich (the "Court") against Big Screen, a German large-screen cinema owner in
Berlin ("Big Screen"), demanding payment of rental payments and certain other
amounts owed to the Company. Big Screen has raised a defense based on alleged
infringement of German antitrust rules, relating mainly to an allegation of
excessive pricing. Big Screen is also a member of Euromax, an association of
European large-screen cinema owners that filed a complaint in 2000 with the
European Commission based on European Community ("EC") competition rules, which
was dismissed in its entirety by the EC in July 2002. Euromax is entitled to a
decision in appealable form, therefore the Company expects the EC to confirm its
rejection of the complaint in the form of an appealable decision. Big Screen had
brought a number of motions for restraining orders in this matter relating to
the Company's provision of films and maintenance, all of which have been
rejected by the courts, including the Berlin Court of Appeals, and for which all
appeals have been exhausted. The Company believes that all of the allegations in
Big Screen's individual defense are meritless and will accordingly continue to
prosecute this matter vigorously. The Company believes that the amount of the
loss, if any, suffered in connection with this dispute would not have a material
impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company,
although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any
such litigation.

     In June 2000, a complaint was filed against the Company and a third party
by Mandalay Resort Group formerly known as Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc.,
alleging breach of contract and express warranty, fraud and misrepresentation in
connection with the installation of certain motion simulation bases in Nevada.
The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada.
The complainant is seeking damages in excess of $4.0 million. The Company has
brought a third party action against Tri-Tech International, Inc. ("Tri-Tech")
claiming that any liability of the Company would be due to Tri-Tech's
non-performance. The Company believes that the allegations made against it in
the complaint are meritless and will accordingly defend the matter vigorously.
The Company further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in
connection with this lawsuit would not have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can be
given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such litigation.

     In December 2000, the Company filed a complaint against George Krikorian
Premiere Theaters LLC and certain other related parties (collectively
"Krikorian") in the U.S. Central District of California, alleging breach of
contract, negligent misrepresentation and fraud resulting in damages to the
Company. In February 2001, Krikorian filed counterclaims against the Company
alleging, among other things, fraudulent inducement and negligent
misrepresentation, which counterclaims were subsequently dismissed and then
amended. Further counterclaims were filed in May 2001. On October 23, 2002, the
parties entered into an agreement to settle all existing litigation.

     In March 2001, a complaint was filed against the Company by Muvico
Entertainment, L.L.C. ("Muvico"), alleging misrepresentation and seeking
rescission in respect of the system lease agreements between the Company and
Muvico. The Company filed counterclaims against Muvico for breach of contract,
unjust enrichment unfair competition and/or deceptive trade practices and theft
of trade secrets, and brought claims against MegaSystems, Inc. ("MegaSystems"),
a large-format theater system manufacturer, for tortious interference and unfair
competition and/or deceptive trade practices and to enjoin Muvico and
MegaSystems from using the Company's confidential and proprietary information.
The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of
Florida, Miami Division. The Company moved for summary judgement on its contract
claims against Muvico in September 2002 and is awaiting a ruling by the court.
The Company believes that the allegations made by Muvico in its complaint are
entirely without merit and will accordingly defend the claims vigorously. The
Company further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in connection
with this lawsuit would not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operation of the Company, although no assurance can be given with
respect to the ultimate outcome of any such litigation.

     In August 2000, Edwards Theaters Circuit, Inc. and related companies
("Edwards") filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
bankruptcy code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of
California, Santa Ana Division. On August 2, 2001, the Company filed a proof of
claim in the amount of $28.9 million for amounts due and owing to the Company at
the time of the commencement of the bankruptcy and for damages arising from
Edwards' rejection of certain IMAX equipment leases pursuant to section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code. On October 29, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement
with Regal Entertainment Group, Inc., an affiliate of Edwards, resolving all
litigation and bankruptcy claims between the Company and Edwards.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (cont'd)

     The Company has received requests for information from the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in connection with an
informal inquiry by the Commission into certain trading in the equity securities
of the Company in January 2002. The Company is co-operating fully with the
Commission's requests and does not believe that it is the target of the
Commission's inquiry or that such inquiry will have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation.

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


ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     In 2002, the Company and a subsidiary of the Company purchased an
additional $20.5 million in the aggregate of the Company's 5.75% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2003 (the "Subordinated Notes") for $8.1 million
consisting of $6.0 million in cash and 1,000,000 common shares of the Company
valued at $2.1 million. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources in Item 7).

     On January 7, 2002, the Company issued 1,000,000 common shares of the
Company to holders of the Company's Subordinated Notes, in connection with the
purchase by the Company and a subsidiary of the Company of $19.5 million in the

shares were exchanged by the Company exclusively with its existing security
holders.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

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

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
         MATTERS (cont'd)

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS (cont'd)

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS (cont'd)

     DISTRIBUTIONS ON COMMON SHARES

     In general, distributions (without reduction for Canadian withholding
taxes) paid by the Company with respect to the common shares will be taxed to a
U.S. Holder as ordinary income to the extent that such distributions do not
exceed the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company (as
determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). The amount of a distribution
that exceeds the earnings and profits of the Company will be treated first as a
non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in
the common shares and thereafter as taxable capital gain. Corporate holders
generally will not be allowed a deduction for dividends received in respect of
distributions on common shares. Subject to the limitations set forth in the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code, as modified by the United States-Canada income tax
treaty, U.S. Holders may elect to claim a foreign tax credit against their U.S.
federal income tax liability for Canadian income tax withheld from dividends.
Alternatively, U.S. Holders may claim a deduction for such amounts of Canadian
tax withheld.

     DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES

     Upon the sale or other disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between
the amount realized on the sale and such holder's tax basis in the common
shares. Gain or loss upon the disposition of the common shares will be long-term
if, at the time of the disposition, the common shares have been held for more
than one year. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.

CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     This summary is of a general nature only and it is not intended to be, nor
should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of the common
shares and no representation with respect to Canadian federal income tax
consequences to any holder of common shares is made herein. Accordingly,
prospective purchasers and holders of the common shares should consult their own
tax advisers with respect to their individual circumstances.

     DIVIDENDS ON COMMON SHARES

     Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25.0% (subject to reduction under the
provisions of any relevant tax treaty) will be payable on dividends paid or
credited to a holder of common shares. Under the Canada-U.S. income tax treaty,
the withholding tax rate is generally reduced to 15.0% for a holder entitled to
the benefits of the treaty (or 5.0% if the holder is a corporation that owns at
least 10.0% of the common shares).

     CAPITAL GAINS AND LOSSES

     Subject to the provisions of a relevant tax treaty, capital gains realized
by a holder on the disposition or deemed disposition of common shares held as
capital property will not be subject to Canadian tax unless the common shares
are taxable Canadian property (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)), in
which case the capital gains will be subject to Canadian tax at rates which will
approximate those payable by a Canadian resident. Common shares will not be
taxable Canadian property to a holder provided that, at the time of the
disposition or deemed disposition, the common shares are listed on a prescribed
stock exchange (which currently includes The Toronto Stock Exchange) unless such
holder, persons with whom such holder did not deal at arm's length or such
holder together with all such persons, owned 25.0% or more of the issued shares
of any class or series of shares of the Company at any time within the 60 month
period immediately preceding such time.

     Under the Canada-United States income tax treaty, a holder who is a
resident of the United States for purposes of such treaty and to whom the common
shares are taxable Canadian property will not be subject to Canadian tax on the
disposition or deemed disposition of the common shares unless at the time of
disposition or deemed disposition, the value of the common shares is derived
principally from real property situated in Canada.

     December 31, 2000 included a $8.6 million charge which related to the
     write-down of certain films in distribution. The year ended December 31,
     1998 included a $7.9 million charge related to rationalization of the

     share of the loss of Forum Ride Associates and a provision against the
     remaining carrying value of the Company's equity investment in Forum Ride
     Associates totaling $6.1 million and a $0.5 million provision against an
     equity investment in a motion simulation ride.

(6)  In 2001, restructuring costs and asset impairments (recoveries) included a
     charge of $16.3 million as part of the Company's efforts to streamline the
     business by reducing its overall corporate workforce and relocate its

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Company is one of the world's leading entertainment technology
companies and is known for presenting the world's best cinematic presentations
together with IMAX and IMAX 3D. The IMAX(R) brand is recognized throughout the
world for extraordinary and immersive family experiences. As of December 2002,
there were 232 theaters operating in more than 30 countries.

     The Company derives revenue principally from long-term theater system lease
agreements, maintenance agreements, the distribution of films and film
production agreements. The Company also derives revenue from its owned and
operated theaters, camera rentals and post-production services.

THEATER SYSTEMS

     The Company generally provides its theater systems to customers on a
long-term lease basis with initial lease terms of typically 10 to 20 years.
Lease agreements typically provide for three major sources of revenue: (i)
initial rental fees; (ii) ongoing rental payments which include annual
contractual minimum payments; and (iii) maintenance fees. The initial rental
fees vary depending on the type of system and location and generally are paid to
the Company in installments commencing upon the signing of the agreement.
Ongoing rental payments are paid monthly over the term of the contract,
commencing after system installation and are generally equal to the greater of a
fixed minimum amount per annum or a percentage of box office receipts. An annual
maintenance fee is generally payable commencing in the second year of theater
operations. Both minimum rental payments and maintenance fees are typically
indexed to the consumer price index.

     Theater system leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and
risks of ownership to customers are classified as sales-type leases as a result
of meeting the criteria established by FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13 "Accounting for Leases". All other leases are treated as
operating leases. Revenue from sales-type leases is recorded at the time the
installation process is complete when; persuasive evidence of an agreement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Upon revenue recognition, the initial rental fees due under the contract, along
with the present value of minimum ongoing rental payments are recorded as
revenues and the related projector costs including installation expenses are
recorded in cost of goods and services. The Company recognizes revenue on
theater systems, sales-type leases and sales at the time that installation is
complete. The Company in certain circumstances sells its theater systems.

     Cash received in advance of installation is recorded as deferred revenue.
The associated costs of manufacturing the theater system are recorded as
inventory. At the time of installation, the deferred revenue is recognized in
income, and the inventory costs are fully expensed.

     The Company is dependent in part on the viability of the North American
commercial exhibitor market for collections under long-term leases and for
future system contracts. In the last few years, many of the North American
commercial exhibitor chains faced financial difficulties due to over-expansion,
which in some cases led to bankruptcy proceedings and/or consolidations.
Recently, many of these exhibitors have emerged from those proceedings with new
capital. Some have raised capital in the public markets, while others have plans
to do so. While the Company views these recent developments in the North
American commercial exhibitor market as positive, there is no guarantee that
they will continue.

FILM PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION

     In accordance with SOP 00-2 "Accounting by Producers or Distributors of
Films", the Company recognizes revenue from licensing of exhibition rights to
motion pictures produced or distributed by the Company when the film is complete
and has been delivered, the license period has begun, the fee is fixed or
determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Where the license fees are
based on a share of the customer's revenue, and all other revenue recognition
criteria are met, the Company recognizes revenue as the customer exhibits the
film. Costs of producing films and acquiring film distribution rights are
capitalized and amortized using the individual film-forecast-computation method,
which amortizes film costs and accrues participation costs in the same ratio
that current period actual revenue bears to estimated remaining unrecognized
ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the fiscal year. All advertising,
exploitation costs and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

     The Company has developed a proprietary, patent-pending technology to
digitally re-master 35mm live-action films into 15/70-format film for exhibition
in IMAX theaters. This system, known as IMAX DMR, digitally enhances image
resolution quality of 35mm motion picture films for projection on screens up to
eight stories high and up to 120 feet wide, while maintaining the visual clarity
and sound quality for which IMAX films are known. The Company believes that this
technology has opened the IMAX theater network up to potential releases of
Hollywood films including both library titles and simultaneous new releases. The
Company believes that the development of this new technology is key to helping
it execute on its strategy of growing its commercial theater network by becoming
a new window for Hollywood films. While the Company is optimistic about the IMAX
DMR technology, there is no guarantee that it will be commercially successful.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

     A significant portion of the Company's sales are made to customers located
outside of the United States and Canada. During 2002, 2001 and 2000, 36.6%,
35.2%, and 47.2%, respectively, of the Company's revenues were derived outside
the United States and Canada. The Company expects that international operations
will continue to account for a substantial portion of its revenues in the
future. The Company is subject to risks associated with operating in foreign
countries. In order to minimize exposure to exchange rate risk, the Company
prices theater systems (the largest component of revenues) in U.S. dollars
except in Canada and Japan where they are priced in Canadian dollars and
Japanese Yen, respectively. Annual minimum rental payments and maintenance fees
follow a similar currency policy.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

     The Company reports its results under both United States Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The financial statements and results referred to herein are reported
under U.S. GAAP.

     The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates
its estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, net investment in
leases, inventories, fixed and film assets, investments, intangible assets,
income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience, future expectations and other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results may differ from these estimates due to uncertainty involved in
measuring, at a specific point in time, events that are continuous in nature.
The Company's significant accounting policies are discussed in note 2 of the
audited financial statements in Item 8.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

GENERAL (cont'd)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Management considers the following critical accounting policies to have the
most significant effect on its estimates, assumptions and judgements:

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     SALES-TYPE LEASES OF THEATER SYSTEMS

     Theater system leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and
risks of ownership to customers are classified as sales-type leases as a result
of meeting the criteria established by FASB Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" ("FAS 13"). When revenue is
recognized, the initial rental fees due under the contract, along with the
present value of minimum ongoing rental payments, are recorded as revenues for
the period, and the related projector costs including installation expenses are
recorded as cost of goods and services. Additional ongoing rentals in excess of
minimums are recognized as revenue when reported by the theater operator,
provided that collection is reasonably assured.

     The Company recognizes revenues from sales-type leases upon installation of
the theater system. Revenue associated with a sales-type lease is recognized
when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement
exists; the price is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably
assured. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Company recognized revenue using the same
criteria, except that the time of delivery rather than completion of
installation was used as the point at which revenue was recognized.

     The timing of installation of the theater system is largely dependent on
the timing of the construction of the customer's theater. Therefore, while
revenue for theater systems is generally predictable on a long-term basis, it
can vary from quarter to quarter or year to year depending on the timing of
installation.

     The Company monitors the performance of the theaters to which it has leased
equipment. When facts and circumstances indicate that it may need to change the
terms of a lease which had previously been recorded as a sales-type lease, the
Company evaluates the likely outcome of such negotiations. A provision is
recorded against the net investment in leases if the Company believes that it is
probable that the negotiation will result in a reduction in the minimum lease
payments such that the lease will be reclassified as an operating lease. The
provision is equal to the excess of the carrying value of the net investment in
lease over the fair value of the equipment.

     If the Company and a lessee agree to change the terms of the lease, other
than by renewing the lease or extending its terms, management evaluates whether
the new agreement would be classified as a sales-type lease or an operating
lease under the provisions of FAS 13. Any adjustments which result from a change
in classification from a sales-type lease to an operating lease are reported as
a charge to income during the period the change occurs.

     From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings relating to
terminated lease agreements. When settlements are received, the Company will
allocate the total settlement to each of the elements based on their relative
fair value.

     OPERATING LEASES OF THEATER SYSTEMS

     Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of
ownership to the customer are classified as operating leases. For these leases,
initial rental fees and minimum lease payments are recognized as revenue on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. Additional rentals in excess of minimum
annual amounts are recognized as revenue when reported by theater operators,
provided that collection is reasonably assured.

GENERAL (cont'd)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES

     The allowance for doubtful accounts and provision against the net
investment in leases are based on the Company's assessment of the collectibility
of specific customer balances and the underlying asset value of the equipment
under lease where applicable. If there is a deterioration in a customer's credit
worthiness or actual defaults under the terms of the leases are higher than the
Company's historical experience, the Company's estimates of recoverability for
these assets could be adversely affected.

     INVENTORIES

     In establishing the appropriate provisions for theater systems inventory,
management must make estimates of future events and conditions including the
anticipated installation dates for the current backlog of theater system
contracts, potential future signings, general economic conditions, technology
factors, growth prospects within the customers' ultimate marketplace and the
market acceptance of the Company's current and pending projection systems and
film library. If management estimates of these events and conditions, proves to
be incorrect, it could result in inventory losses in excess of the provisions
determined to be adequate as at the balance sheet date.

     GOODWILL

     The Company adopted FAS 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" effective
January 1, 2002 (see note 3 of the audited financial statements in Item 8). Upon
adoption of this standard, no impairment in goodwill was found to exist.

     The Company performs an impairment test on at least an annual basis and
additionally, whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the
reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit's carrying amount,
including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values of
the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flows approach. If the
carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step
is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Any impairment
loss would be expensed in the statement of operations.

     FIXED ASSETS

     Management reviews the carrying values of its fixed assets for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset might not be recoverable. In performing its review for recoverability,
management estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of
the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash
flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
recognized. Measurement of impairment losses is based on the excess of the
carrying amount of the asset over the fair value calculated using discounted
expected future cash flows. If the actual future cash flows are less than the
Company's estimates, future earnings could be adversely affected.

     TAX ASSET VALUATION

     As at December 31, 2002, the Company has net deferred income tax assets of
$3.8 million, comprised of tax credit carryforwards, net operating loss and
capital loss carryforwards and other deductible temporary differences, which can
be utilized to reduce either taxable income or taxes otherwise payable in future
years. Management assesses realization of these net deferred income tax assets
based on all available evidence and has concluded that it is more likely than
not that these net deferred income tax assets will be realized. Positive
evidence includes, but is not limited to, the Company's projected future
earnings based on contracted sales backlog at December 31, 2002, and the ability
to realize certain deferred income tax assets through loss and tax credit
carryback strategies. However, if the Company's projected future earnings do not
materialize, these net deferred income tax assets may not be realizable and the
Company may need to establish additional valuation allowances for all or a
portion of the net deferred income tax assets. As of December 31, 2002, the
Company had a net deferred income tax asset of $47.5 million, against which the
Company is carrying a $43.7 million valuation allowance.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS 146 which replaces EITF 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit
and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". EITF 94-3
required an entity to record a liability for certain termination costs when it
adopted a plan to restructure operations. The FASB has concluded that an
entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a liability. Under the
new rules, exit costs and restructuring liabilities generally will be recognized
only when incurred. The provisions are effective for exit or disposal activities
that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier application encouraged.
The pronouncement has no current impact on the Company's financial statements.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure" ("FAS 148"), which provides alternate methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation prescribed by FAS 123. In addition, FAS 148 requires
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method of accounting and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
Company has adopted FAS 148 for disclosure purposes only effective December 31,
2002. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Based on the
Company's experience and its perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes
are appropriate under the circumstances, it has elected to utilize a lower
expected volatility percentage than it has in recent years, though there can be
no assurances that this volatility percentage will be accurate. The Company
intends to continue investigating alternative option-pricing models in the next
fiscal year as further discussions on this topic continue in the marketplace.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon
issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair
value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires
additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The
recognition provisions of FIN 45 will be effective for any guarantees that are
issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements will be
effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company is currently
evaluating the effects of FIN 45; however, it does not expect that the adoption
will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities," ("FIN 46") which addresses consolidation by
business enterprises of variable interest entities. In general, a variable
interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal
structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity
investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide
sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A
variable interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or
receivables, real estate or other property. A variable interest entity may be
essentially passive or it may engage in research and development or other
activities on behalf of another company. The objective of FIN 46 is not to
restrict the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial
reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, a
company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial
statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46
changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a
company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the
variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46
apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003.
The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year
or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure
requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003,
regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. Adoption is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS (RECOVERIES)

     During 2001 the Company rationalized its operations, reduced staffing
levels, wrote-down certain assets to be disposed of, and recorded a
restructuring charge of $16.3 million in 2001 (2000 - $nil). During 2002, the
Company recovered $0.5 million of restructuring accrued liabilities for
terminated employees who obtained employment prior to the completion of their
severance period. In 2001, the Company also recorded asset impairment charges of
$29.9 million (2000 - $11.2 million) after assessing the carrying value of
certain of the Company's assets. The 2001 asset impairment charge consisted of
$26.7 million against fixed assets (2000 - $11.2 million) and $3.3 million
against other assets (2000 - $nil) as the carrying values for the assets
exceeded the discounted future cash flows expected from the assets. During 2002,
the Company incurred an additional $0.4 of asset impairment charges relating to
fixed assets.

     The Company believes its restructuring plan and related write-downs were
necessary in light of market trends and industry-wide economic and financial
conditions. As of December 31, 2001, the restructuring plan was complete. Of the
$16.3 million for restructuring, $14.4 million has been spent as of December 31,
2002, and $1.4 million represented severance costs for severed employees to be
paid out over the next 24 months.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHARGES (RECOVERIES)

     Due to industry-wide economic and financial difficulties faced by many of
the Company's customers, the Company also recorded the following charges as part
of its ongoing review of the carrying value of the Company's assets.

     Included in receivables provisions, net of recoveries, the Company recorded
a charge of $4.5 million in 2001 (2000 - $13.1 million) relating to the
Company's accounts receivable, as collectibility on certain accounts was
considered uncertain. During 2002, the Company recorded recoveries of $1.9
million relating to the Company's accounts receivable. In 2002, the Company also
recorded a charge of $0.7 million (2001 - $13.6 million, 2000 - $nil) relating
to the Company's net investment in leases as collectibility of certain leases
was considered uncertain.

     Within costs of goods and services, the Company recorded a charge of $16.5
million in 2001 (2000 - $8.6 million) based on the reduced fair values of the
Company's film assets. In 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $1.2 million
(2001 - $4.1 million, 2000 - $nil) for inventories, due to a reduced net
realizable value and fixed assets of $2.8 million (2001 - $nil, 2000 - $nil) as
the carrying value for the fixed assets exceeded the discounted future cash
flows expected from the assets.

declines in the value of these investments that are considered to be other than
temporary. There were no charges recorded in 2002.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (cont'd)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

REVENUES (cont'd)

     Systems revenue decreased to $71.0 million in 2002 from $76.6 million in
2001, a decrease of 7.3%. Revenue from sales and leases in 2002 decreased to
$46.7 million in 2002 from $53.4 million in 2001, a decrease of 12.6%. In 2002,
16 theater systems were installed, of which one was an operating lease, as
compared to 15 theater systems installed, of which one was an operating lease in
2001. In addition, for 2001 the Company recognized revenue on 2 systems that
were converted from operating leases to sales-type leases. Ongoing rental
revenue in 2002 increased 8.7% from 2001 primarily due to the increased number
of theaters in the network in the current year. Maintenance revenue in 2002
increased 2.5% over the prior year principally due to the increased number of
theater systems in the network.

     Films revenues increased to $40.6 million in 2002 from $29.9 million in
2001. Film distribution revenues increased to $20.7 million in 2002 from $16.6
million in 2001, an increase of 24.3%, and film post-production revenues
increased to $16.8 million in 2002 from $13.3 million in 2001, an increase of
26.9%. The increase in film post-production revenues was mainly due to the
release of SPACE STATION and Star Wars: Episode II Attack of The Clones in 2002
versus 2001, while the increase in film distribution revenues was primarily due
to stronger performance of films distributed in 2002 especially SPACE STATION
which had gross box office of more than $39.0 million in 2002. Film production
and DMR revenues increased to $1.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively in
2002, as new film services were provided.

     Other revenue increased to $19.1 million in 2002 from $12.2 million in
2001, an increase of 57.4%, largely as a result of stronger performance from the
Company's owned and operated theaters. In 2002, the Company's owned and operated
theaters benefited from the strong performance of SPACE STATION and Star Wars:
Episode II Attack of The Clones.

     The Company believes it will see higher revenues in 2003 due to a
combination of higher system installations and higher attendance throughout the
IMAX theater network.

GROSS MARGIN

     Gross margin in 2002 was $52.2 million versus $21.3 million in 2001. Gross
margin increased largely due to the stronger performance of films in 2002
primarily SPACE STATION and Star Wars: Episode II Attack of The Clones, compared
to 2001. In addition, gross margin in 2001 was reduced by $16.5 million
associated with the write-down of the value of certain films in the Company's
library and a $4.1 million write-down due to the reduced net realizable value of
the Company's inventories. Gross margin as a percentage of total revenues was
40.0% in 2002 compared to 17.9% in 2001.

     The Company believes it will see higher gross margin in 2003 due to a
combination of higher system installations and higher attendance throughout the
IMAX theater network.

OTHER

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.9 million in 2002
versus $46.7 million in 2001. The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of
$0.4 million in 2002 compared to a loss of $1.4 million in 2001. The foreign
exchange gains and losses resulted primarily from fluctuations in exchange rates
on Canadian dollar cash balances and Canadian dollar and Japanese Yen
denominated net investment in leases. The 2001 selling, general and
administrative expenses also includes a non-cash item of $2.6 million in
connection with a stock compensation grant. The Company anticipates that
selling, general and administrative expenses will decline in 2003 due to the
reductions in staff costs, legal fees and other expenses.

     Amortization of intangibles decreased to $1.4 million in 2002, from $3.0
million in 2001 due to the Company's adoption of FAS 142 which does not require
the amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002.

     Interest income decreased to $0.4 million in 2002 from $0.8 million in 2001
due mainly to a decline in the average rate of returns on cash and cash
equivalents.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (cont'd)

OTHER (cont'd)

     Interest expense decreased to $17.6 million in 2002, from $22.0 million in
2001 due to the repurchases of the Company's Subordinated Notes (see Gain (loss)
on retirement of notes and Liquidity and Capital Resources, below).

     In performing its assessment of the recoverability of long-term
investments, the Company recorded a $5.6 million charge in 2001. During 2002, no
additional charges were taken.

     The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and
will vary from year to year primarily as a result of numerous permanent
differences, the Canadian manufacturing and processing profits deduction, the
provision for income taxes at different rates in foreign and other provincial
jurisdictions, enacted statutory tax rate reductions in the year, and changes in
the Company's valuation allowance. The 2002 deferred income tax recovery
included a $1.8 million decrease in the valuation allowance to reflect revised
estimates regarding the realization of the Company's deferred income tax assets
and the utilization of loss carryforwards directly against gains from the
repurchase of convertible notes. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had a net
deferred income tax asset of $47.5 million, against which the Company is
carrying a $43.7 million valuation allowance.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development expenses were $2.4 million in 2002 versus $3.4
million in 2001. The lower level of expenses in 2002 was due partly to staff
reductions in 2001 and partly due to management's decision to focus on a smaller
number of projects with a higher potential of success and minimal capital
outlay. The Company believes that the motion picture industry will be affected
by the development of digital technologies, particularly in the areas of content
creation (image capture), post-production (editing and special effects), digital
re-mastering distribution and display. Consequently, the Company has made
significant investments in digital technologies, including the development of a
proprietary, patent-pending technology to digitally enhance image resolution and
quality of 35mm motion picture films and has a number of patents pending and
intellectual property rights in these areas. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be awarded patents covering this technology or that
competitors will not develop similar technologies.

GAIN (LOSS) ON RETIREMENT OF NOTES

     During 2002, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary purchased an
additional $20.5 million in the aggregate of the Company's Subordinated Notes
for $8.1 million, consisting of $6.0 million in cash and common shares of the
Company valued at $2.1 million. The Company cancelled the purchased Subordinated
Notes and recorded a gain of $11.9 million. These transactions had the effect of
reducing the principal of the Company's outstanding Subordinated Notes to $9.1
million as at December 31, 2002.

     During 2001, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
purchased an aggregate of $70.4 million of the Company's $100.0 million
aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes for $13.7 million, consisting
of $12.5 million in cash and common shares of the Company valued at $1.2
million. The Company cancelled the purchased Subordinated Notes and recorded a
gain of $55.6 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 (cont'd)

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     The Company's 2001 discontinuance of its digital projection systems
operations was completed December 11, 2001 through the sale of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Digital Projection International, including its subsidiaries
(collectively "DPI"), to a company owned by members of DPI management. As part
of the transaction, the Company restructured its advances to DPI, releasing DPI
from obligations to repay any amounts in excess of $12.7 million previously
advanced by the Company, and reorganized the remaining $12.7 million of debt
owing to the Company into two separate loan agreements. The loans receivable are
collateralized by fixed and floating charges over all of DPI's assets including
intellectual properties. One of the loans is convertible, upon the occurrence of
certain events, into shares representing 49% of the total share capital of DPI.
DPI also agreed to release the Company from its ongoing obligations to DPI.

     The Company recorded an after-tax charge of $50.9 million in 2001, relating
to operational losses of $8.5 million and a loss of $42.3 million on disposal of
DPI's net assets. Included in the loss on disposal is a provision of $12.7
million to reflect the uncertainty associated with the collectibility of the
loans receivable. In 2002, the Company recorded a recovery of $2.1 million
relating to future obligations that have been eliminated.


YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

     Systems revenue decreased to $76.6 million in 2001 from $113.2 million in
2000, a decrease of 32.4%. Revenue from sales and leases decreased to $53.4
million in 2001 from $87.4 million in 2000, a decrease of 38.9%. In 2001, 15
theater systems were installed, of which one was an operating lease, as compared
to 24 theater systems installed in 2000. Ongoing rental revenue decreased 25.9%
from 2000 primarily due to lower ongoing rents in excess of minimums received in
the current year. Maintenance revenue increased 3.3% over the prior year
principally due to the increased number of theater systems in the network.

     Films revenues decreased to $29.9 million in 2001 from $41.7 million in
2000. Film distribution revenues decreased to $16.6 million in 2001 from $21.2
million in 2000, a decrease of 21.6%, and film post-production activities
decreased to $13.3 million in 2001 from $20.5 million in 2000, a decrease of
35.2%. The decrease in film post-production revenues was due to a decline in the
number of films in release in 2001 versus 2000, while the decrease in film
distribution revenues was primarily due to both a smaller number of films in
release and poorer performance of films distributed by the Company in 2001.

     Other revenue decreased to $12.2 million in 2001 from $18.2 million in
2000, a decrease of 33.1%, primarily related to decreased owned and operated
theater operations revenue in 2001 versus 2000, which included the strong
performance of Fantasia 2000.

GROSS MARGIN

     Gross margin in 2001 was $21.3 million versus $60.5 million in 2000. Gross
margin in 2001 was reduced by $16.5 million associated with the write-down of
the value of certain films in the Company's library as compared to a write-down
of $8.6 million in 2000, and a $4.1 million write-down due to the reduced net
realizable value of the Company's inventories.

     The decline in the gross margin in 2001 over 2000 is primarily due to lower
system revenues on 15 theater systems, of which one was an operating lease, in
2001, versus 24 theater systems in 2000, and the provisions noted above. Gross
margin as a percentage of total revenues was 17.9% in 2001 compared to 34.9% in
2000.

OTHER

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $46.7 million in 2001
versus $42.1 million in 2000. The 2001 expense included a non-cash item of $2.6
million in connection with a stock compensation grant. We experienced a foreign
exchange loss of $1.4 million in 2001 compared to a loss of $1.8 million in
2000. The foreign exchange losses resulted primarily from fluctuations in
exchange rates on Canadian dollar cash balances and Canadian dollar and Japanese
Yen denominated net investment in leases.

     Interest income decreased to $0.8 million in 2001 from $3.3 million in 2000
due mainly to a decline in the average balance of cash, cash equivalents and
investments in marketable debt securities held.

OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 (cont'd)

OTHER (cont'd)

     In performing its assessment of the carrying value of long-term
investments, the Company recorded a charge of $5.6 million in 2001, as compared
to $4.1 million in 2000 for declines in the value of these investments that are
considered to be other than temporary.


     The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate and
will vary from year to year primarily as a result of the amortization of
goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes, the Canadian manufacturing
and processing profits deduction, the provision for income taxes at different
rates in foreign and other provincial jurisdictions, enacted statutory tax rate
reductions in the year and movements in the Company's valuation allowance. The
2001 deferred income tax expense included a $41.2 million increase in the
valuation allowance to reflect uncertainties associated with the realization of
the Company's deferred income tax asset. As of December 31, 2001, the Company
had a deferred income tax asset of $48.5 million which was largely provided
against through the Company's valuation allowance of $45.5 million.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development expenses were $3.4 million in 2001 versus $6.5
million in 2000. The lower level of expenses in 2001 was due partly to staff
reductions and management's decision to focus on a smaller number of projects
with a higher potential of success and minimal capital outlay.

GAIN (LOSS) ON RETIREMENT OF NOTES

     During 2001, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
purchased an aggregate of $70.4 million of the Company's $100.0 million
aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes for $13.7 million, consisting
of $12.5 million in cash by the subsidiary and common shares by the Company
valued at $1.2 million. The Company cancelled the purchased Subordinated Notes
and recorded a gain of $55.6 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     The Company's 2001 discontinuance of its digital projection systems
operations was completed December 11, 2001 through the sale of its wholly owned
subsidiary, Digital Projection International, including its subsidiaries

     The Company recorded an after-tax charge of $50.9 million in 2001, relating
to operational losses of $8.5 million and a loss of $42.3 million on disposal of
DPI's net assets. Included in the loss on disposal is a provision of $12.7
million to reflect the uncertainty associated with the collectibility of the
loans receivable. In 2000, the Company recorded digital projection systems
operating losses of $2.1 million. The Company restated the financial statements
to segregate the discontinued operations for all comparative years.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At December 31, 2002, the Company's principal source of liquidity included
cash and cash equivalents of $37.1 million, trade accounts receivable of $16.9
million and net investment in leases due within one year of $5.1 million.

     In September 2001, the Company's demand facility with Toronto Dominion Bank
Financial Group matured. At the time of maturity, the Company had no cash
advances outstanding under the facility, which had been used in the past to
facilitate U.S. and Canadian letters of credit and cross currency swaps which
were entered into by the Company in connection with the sale of projection
systems. This line was secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory,
certain real estate and other assets of the Company. As of December 31, 2002,
the Company has letters of credit of $3.3 million outstanding, which have been
collateralized by cash deposits.

     In December 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million of 7.875% Senior Notes
due December 1, 2005 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are subject to
redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December
1, 2002 at redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount
for each 12-month period commencing December 1 of the years indicated: 2003 -
101.969%; 2004 and thereafter - 100.000% together with interest accrued thereon
to the redemption date. If certain changes result in the imposition of
withholding taxes under Canadian law, the Senior Notes may be redeemed by the
Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption. In the event of a change in control, holders
of the Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or part of the
Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest to the date of repurchase.

     The terms of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes impose certain
restrictions on its operating and financing activities, including restrictions
on its ability to:

     o issue additional debt;
     o create liens;
     o make investments;
     o enter into transactions with affiliates;
     o effect sales of assets;
     o declare or pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders; and
     o effect consolidations, amalgamations and mergers.

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company has $9.1 million outstanding on its
Subordinated Notes. In April 1996, the Company completed a private placement of
$100.00 million of the Company's Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes are
convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at a
conversion price of $21.406 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of
46.7154 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes) at any time
prior to maturity. The Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company after April 1, 1999, plus accrued interest. The Subordinated Notes may
be redeemed at any time on or after April 1, 2001 without limitation. During
2001, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company purchased an
aggregate of $70.4 million of the Company's Subordinated Notes for $13.7 million
consisting of $12.5 million in cash and common shares of the Company valued at
$1.2 million. The Company cancelled the purchased Subordinated Notes and
recorded a gain of $55.6 million. During 2002, the Company and the subsidiary of
the Company purchased an additional $20.5 million in the aggregate of the
Company's Subordinated Notes for $8.1 million consisting of $6.0 million in cash
and common shares of the Company valued at $2.1 million. The Company cancelled
the purchased Subordinated Notes and recorded a gain of $11.9 million.

                                                               ========
             

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company has an unfunded and accrued projected
benefit obligation of approximately $17.2 million (2001 - $13.8 million) in
respect of its defined benefit pension plan. The Company intends to use the
proceeds of life insurance policies taken on its Co-Chief Executive Officers to
satisfy, in whole or in part, the survivor benefits due and payable under the
plan, although there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately do so.

     The Company substantially funds its operations through cash flow from
operations. Under the terms of the Company's typical theater system lease
agreement, the Company receives substantial cash payments before it completes
the performance of its obligations. Similarly, the Company receives cash
payments for some of its film productions in advance of related cash
expenditures.

     Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $20.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002 after the payment of $16.9 million of interest and
other working capital requirements. Changes in other non-cash operating assets
and liabilities include $2.4 million that was invested in film assets, a
decrease in accounts receivables of $3.4 million, and a decrease of $8.1 million
in inventories in 2002. Cash used by investing activities in 2002 amounted to
$3.2 million, primarily consisting of $1.5 million invested in fixed assets.
Cash used in financing activities in 2002 amounted to $5.9 million mainly
related to the $6.0 million repurchase by a subsidiary of a portion of the
Company's Subordinated Notes. Capital expenditures including the purchase of
fixed assets and investments in film assets were $4.0 million in 2002 and the
Company anticipates a similar expenditure amount in 2003.

     Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $2.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2001 after the payment of $21.9 million of interest and other
working capital requirements. Changes in other non-cash operating assets and
liabilities included a decrease of $1.3 million in accounts receivable and a
decrease of $5.7 million in net investment in leases in 2001. Investment in film
assets was $8.3 million. Cash provided by investing activities in 2001 amounted
to $5.7 million. Of this amount, $7.5 million was received from the sale of
investments in marketable debt securities, and $1.1 million was invested in
fixed assets. Cash used in financing activities amounted to $12.5 million in
2001, related to the repurchase by a subsidiary of a portion of the Company's
Subordinated Notes.

     Cash used in operating activities amounted to $54.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000 after the payment of $21.5 million of interest, $33.6
million of income taxes and working capital requirements. Changes in other
non-cash operating assets and liabilities included an increase of $0.1 million
in accounts receivable, an increase of $9.3 million in net investment in leases
and a decrease of $42.6 million in current taxes payable due to tax payments in
connection with the reorganization of the Company's lines of business in 1999.
Investment in film assets was $19.7 million. Cash provided by investing
activities in 2000 amounted to $45.3 million. Of this amount, $81.5 million was
received from the sale of investments in marketable debt securities, $27.6
million was invested in fixed assets, principally for owned and operated
theaters and theater systems contributed to joint ventured theaters, and
facilities, and $6.2 million was invested in other assets including patents,
trademarks and software. Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2.5
million, which included proceeds of $1.4 million from the issuance of common
shares pursuant to the Company's stock option plan.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (cont'd)

     The Company believes that cash flow from operations together with existing
cash will be sufficient to meet cash requirements for the next several years.
The Company's accounts receivable, inventory, certain fixed assets and net
investment in leases are currently unsecured and available as collateral for
future borrowing. The Company believes it has access to other sources of
liquidity, however, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in
securing additional financing. In addition, if management's projections of
future signings and installations are not realized, there is no guarantee the
Company will continue to be able to fund its operations through cash flows from
operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency
rates. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other
speculative purposes.

     A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are denominated in U.S.
dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and expenses denominated in
Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar flows of the Company are
converted to Canadian dollars to fund Canadian dollar expenses through the spot
market. The Company plans to convert Canadian dollar expenses to U.S. dollars
through the spot market on a go-forward basis. In Japan, the Company has ongoing
operating expenses related to its operations. Net Japanese Yen flows are
converted to U.S. dollars through the spot market. The Company also has cash
receipts under leases denominated in Japanese Yen and Euros. The Company plans
to convert Japanese Yen and Euros lease cash flows to U.S. dollars through the
spot market on a go-forward basis.

    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF IMAX CORPORATION

       We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IMAX
Corporation (the "Company") as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity
(deficit) for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. These
financial statements and the financial statement schedule listed in the index
appearing under Item 15(a)(2) of this Form 10-K/A are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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

       In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002 in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

       In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to
above presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements .

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

      IMAX Corporation together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
      "Company") is an entertainment technology company whose principal
      activities are:

          o    the design, manufacture, marketing and leasing of proprietary
               projection and sound systems for IMAX theaters principally owned
               and operated by institutional and commercial customers located in
               more than 30 countries as of December 31, 2002;

          o    the development, production, digital re-mastering,
               post-production and distribution of certain films shown in the
               IMAX theater network;

          o    the operation of certain IMAX theaters located primarily in the
               United States and Canada; and

          o    the provision of other services to the IMAX theater network
               including designing and manufacturing IMAX camera equipment for
               rental to filmmakers and providing ongoing maintenance services
               for the IMAX projection and sound systems.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United
     States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make
     estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could be materially
     different from these estimates. Significant estimates made by management
     include allowances for potential uncollectibity of accounts receivable and
     net investment in leases, provisions for inventory obsolescence, ultimate
     revenues for film assets, estimates of future cash flows associated with
     long-lived assets, goodwill, accruals for contingencies and valuation
     allowances for deferred income tax assets. Significant accounting policies
     are summarized as follows:

(a)  BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
     together with its wholly owned subsidiaries.

(b)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
     maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c)  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND NET INVESTMENT IN LEASES

     Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and net investment in leases
     are based on the Company's assessment of the collectibility of specific
     customer balances which is based upon a review of the customer's credit
     worthiness, past collection history and the underlying asset value of the
     equipment under lease where applicable. When facts and circumstances
     indicate that there is a potential impairment in the net investment in
     lease owing from a customer, the Company will evaluate the potential
     outcome of either renegotiations or defaults on the original lease
     agreement and will record a provision if it is considered probable that the
     renegotiated lease amount will cause a reclassification of a sales-type
     lease to an operating lease. The provision is equal to the excess of the
     carrying value of the net investment in lease over the fair value of the
     equipment. Interest on overdue accounts is recognized as income as the
     amounts are collected.

    IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(d)  INVENTORIES

     Inventories are carried at the lower of cost, and net realizable value.
     Finished goods and work-in-process include the cost of raw materials,
     direct labor, design costs and, an applicable share of manufacturing
     overhead costs.

     The Company records appropriate provisions for theater systems inventory,
     based upon current estimates of future events and conditions including the
     anticipated installation dates for the current backlog of theater system
     contracts, potential future signings, general economic conditions, growth
     prospects within the customers' ultimate marketplace and the market
     acceptance of the Company's current and pending projection systems.

(e)  FILM ASSETS

     Costs of producing films, including capitalized interest, and costs of
     acquiring film rights are recorded as film assets and accounted for in
     accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers
     or Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). Film assets are amortized and
     participation costs are accrued using the individual-film-forecast method
     in the same ratio that current gross revenues bear to anticipated total
     ultimate revenues. Estimates of ultimate revenues are prepared on a
     title-by-title basis and reviewed regularly by management and revised where
     necessary to reflect most current information. Ultimate revenue for films
     includes estimates of revenue over a period not to exceed ten years
     following the date of initial release.

     Film exploitation costs, including advertising costs, are expensed as
     incurred. Costs of film prints are capitalized and expensed over a period
     of three months.

     The recoverability of film costs is dependent upon commercial acceptance of
     the films. If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of a
     film is less than the unamortized film costs, the film is written down to
     fair value by a charge to earnings. The Company determines the fair value
     of its films using a discounted cash flow model.

(f)  FIXED ASSETS

     Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line
     basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:


                                                
          Projection equipment               --       10 to 15 years
          Camera equipment                   --       5 to 10 years
          Buildings                          --       20 to 25 years
          Office and production equipment    --       3 to 5 years
          Leasehold improvements             --       Over the term of the underlying leases


     The Company reviews the carrying values of its fixed assets for impairment
     whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
     amount of an asset might not be recoverable. In performing its review for
     recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to
     result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum
     of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
     asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of impairment losses
     is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over the fair
     value calculated using discounted expected future cash flows.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(g)  OTHER ASSETS

     Other assets include investments, unrecognized prior service pension costs
     and deferred charges on debt financing.

     Costs of debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the
     debt.

     Investments in marketable debt securities categorized as available-for-sale
     securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses
     included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Investments in
     marketable debt securities categorized as held-to-maturity securities are
     carried at amortized cost. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for
     by the equity method of accounting under which net earnings (loss) include
     the Company's share of earnings or losses of the investees. A loss in value
     of an investment, which is other than a temporary decline, is recognized as
     a charge to earnings.

(h)  GOODWILL

     The Company adopted FASB Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 "Goodwill
     and Other Intangibles" ("FAS 142") effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill
     represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable
     assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is not subject
     to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently
     if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
     Impairment is tested by comparing the fair value of goodwill assigned to a
     particular reporting unit to its carrying value.

     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. The
     Company performs an impairment test on at least an annual basis and
     additionally, whenever events in changes and circumstances suggest that the
     carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill is tested at
     the reporting unit level by comparing the recording unit's carrying amount,
     including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair
     values of the reporting units are estimated using a discounted cash flows
     approach. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair
     value, then a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment
     loss, if any. Any impairment loss would be expensed in the statement of
     operations.

(i)  OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Patents, trademarks and other intangibles are recorded at cost and are
     amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
     7 to 10 years.

     The Company reviews the carrying values of its other intangible assets for
     impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
     carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. In performing its
     review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows
     expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
     If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
     amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of
     impairment losses is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the
     asset over the fair value calculated using discounted expected future cash
     flows.

(j)  DEFERRED REVENUE

     Deferred revenue represents cash received under theater system, film
     contracts and for various services not yet recognized as revenue.

(k)  INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method whereby deferred
     income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
     tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting and tax
     bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
     are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
     the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
     settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a
     change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period in which the
     change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded where there is
     uncertainty of realization of a deferred income tax asset. Investment tax
     credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense in the year the
     credit is earned.

     The Company assesses realization of net deferred income tax assets and
     based on all available evidence, concludes whether it is more likely than
     not that the net deferred income tax assets will be realized.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(l)  REVENUE RECOGNITION

     SALES-TYPE LEASES OF THEATER SYSTEMS

     Theater system leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and
     risks of ownership to customers are classified as sales-type leases as a
     result of meeting the criteria established by FASB Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" ("FAS 13"). When
     revenue is recognized, the initial rental fees due under the contract,
     along with the present value of minimum ongoing rental payments, are
     recorded as revenues for the period, and the related projector costs
     including installation expenses are recorded as cost of goods and services.
     Additional ongoing rentals in excess of minimums are recognized as revenue
     when reported by the theater operator, provided that collection is
     reasonably assured.

     The Company recognizes revenues from sales-type leases upon installation of
     the theater system when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive
     evidence of an agreement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; and
     collection is reasonably assured.

     Cash installments of initial rents received in advance of the time at which
     revenue is recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. The associated
     costs of constructing the theater systems not yet recognized as revenue are
     included in inventories.

     If the Company and a lessee agree to change the terms of the lease, other
     than by renewing the lease or extending its terms, management evaluates
     whether the new agreement would be classified as a sales-type lease or an
     operating lease under the provisions of FAS 13. Any adjustments which
     result from a change in classification from a sales-type lease to an
     operating lease are recorded as a charge to earnings during the period in
     which the change occurs.

     The Company is periodically involved in settlements and legal proceedings
     relating to terminated lease agreements with customers. When settlement
     amounts are received, the Company allocates the total proceeds to the
     underlying elements based on their relative fair value.

     OPERATING LEASES OF THEATER SYSTEMS

     Leases that do not transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of
     ownership to the customer are classified as operating leases. For these
     leases, initial rental fees and minimum lease payments are recognized as
     revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additional rentals in
     excess of minimum annual amounts are recognized as revenue when the
     contracted portions of theater admissions due to the Company reported by
     theater operators exceed the minimum amounts, provided that collection is
     reasonably assured.

     SALES OF THEATER SYSTEMS

     Revenue from sales of theater systems is recognized when all of the
     following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; the
     price is fixed or determinable; title passes to the customer; installation
     of the system is complete; and collection is reasonably assured.

     FILM LICENSING

     Revenue from licensing of films is recognized when a contractual licensing
     arrangement exists, the film has been completed and delivered, the license
     period has begun, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is
     reasonably assured. Where the license fees are based on a share of the
     customer's revenue, and all other revenue recognition criteria stated in
     the preceding sentence are met, the Company recognizes revenue as the
     customer exhibits the film.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

(l)  REVENUE RECOGNITION (cont'd)

     MAINTENANCE AND OTHER SERVICES

     Maintenance revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
     maintenance period. Revenues from digital re-mastering and post-production
     film services are recognized as the service is performed. Revenues on
     camera rentals are recognized over the rental period. Theater admission
     revenues are recognized on the date of the exhibition. Other service
     revenues are recognized when the services are performed.

(m)  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

(n)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company's operations, which are
     denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, are
     translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at
     the end of the period. Non-monetary items are translated at historical
     exchange rates. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at exchange
     rates prevalent at the transaction date. Such exchange gains and losses are
     included in the determination of net earnings (loss) in the period in which
     they arise. For foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than
     the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end
     exchange rates and revenue and expense items are translated at the average
     rate for the period, with translation gains and losses being included in
     other comprehensive income.

(o)  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value
     method set out in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
     for Stock Issued to Employees", and its related interpretations, and has
     made pro forma disclosures of net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per
     share in note 15 as if the methodology prescribed by FASB Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation" ("FAS 123"), had been adopted.

(p)  PENSION PLANS

     Defined benefit pension plan liabilities are recorded as the excess of the
     accumulated projected benefit obligation over the fair value of plan
     assets. Assumptions used in computing defined benefit obligations are
     regularly reviewed by management in consultation with its actuaries and
     adjusted for market conditions. Prior service costs resulting from plan
     inception or amendments are amortized over the expected future service of
     the employees while current service costs are expensed when earned.

     For defined contribution pension plans, amounts contributed by the Company
     are recorded as an expense.

3.   ACCOUNTING CHANGE

     The Company adopted FAS 142, effective January 1, 2002 under which goodwill
     and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are
     reviewed at least annually for impairment. If the Company had continued to
     amortize goodwill, the charge for 2002 would have been $2.3 million.
     Pursuant to FAS 142, the Company completed its test for goodwill impairment
     effective January 1, 2002. The Company identified its reporting units to be
     the same as its operating segments. The carrying values of assets,
     liabilities, goodwill and other intangible assets were assigned to each of
     these reporting units. To test for impairment in accordance with FAS 142,
     the fair value of each reporting unit was determined and compared to the
     carrying value of each unit. The Company completed the process for each
     reporting unit and determined that the fair value exceeded the carrying
     value and thus, concluded that there was no impairment in goodwill.

11.  SENIOR NOTES DUE 2005

     In December 1998, the Company issued $200.0 million of Senior Notes due
     December 1, 2005 (the "Senior Notes") bearing interest at 7.875% per annum
     with interest payable in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year,
     commencing June 1, 1999. The Senior Notes are the senior unsecured
     obligation of the Company, ranking pari passu in right of payment to all
     existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the
     Company and senior in right of payment to any subordinated indebtedness of
     the Company.

     The Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the
     ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or
     make other distributions, make certain investments, create certain liens,
     engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in certain sale and
     leaseback transaction or engage in mergers, consolidations or the transfer
     of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Senior Notes
     are subject to redemption by the Company, in whole or in part, at any time
     on or after December 1, 2002, at redemption prices expressed as percentages
     of the principal amount for each 12-month period commencing December 1 of
     the years indicated: 2003 - 101.969%, 2004 and thereafter - 100.000%,
     together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date. If certain
     changes result in the imposition of withholding taxes under Canadian law,
     the Senior Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in
     whole but not in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal
     amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. In the
     event of a change in control, holders of the Senior Notes may require the
     Company to repurchase all or part of the Senior Notes at a price equal to
     101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of
     repurchase.

     Interest expense on the Senior Notes amounted to $15.8 million in 2002
     (2001 - $15.8 million, 2000 - $15.8 million).

12.  CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2003

     In April 1996, the Company issued $100.0 million of 5.75% Convertible
     Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2003 (the "Subordinated Notes") payable in
     arrears on April 1 and October 1. The Subordinated Notes, subordinate to
     present and future senior indebtedness of the Company, are convertible into
     common shares of the Company at the option of the holder at a conversion
     price of $21.406 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 46.7154
     shares per $1,000 principal amount of Subordinated Notes) at any time prior
     to maturity.

     The Subordinated Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company after
     April 1, 1999, without limitation equal to the principal amount plus
     accrued interest.

     During 2001, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
     purchased an aggregate of $70.4 million of the Company's Subordinated Notes
     for $13.7 million, consisting of $12.5 million in cash, and common shares
     of the Company valued at $1.2 million. The Company cancelled the purchased
     Subordinated Notes and recorded a gain of $55.6 million.

     During 2002, the Company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
     purchased an additional $20.5 million in the aggregate of the Company's
     Subordinated Notes for $8.1 million, consisting of $6.0 million in cash,
     and common shares of the Company valued at $2.1 million. The Company
     cancelled the purchased Subordinated Notes and recorded a gain of $11.9
     million. This transaction had the effect of reducing the principal amount
     of the Company's outstanding Subordinated Notes as at December 31, 2002 to
     $9.1 million.

14.  CONTINGENCIES

(a)  In November 2001, the Company filed a complaint with the High Court of
     Munich (the "Court") against Big Screen, a German large-screen cinema owner
     in Berlin ("Big Screen"), demanding payment of rental payments and certain
     other amounts owed to the Company. Big Screen has raised a defense based on
     alleged infringement of German antitrust rules, relating mainly to an
     allegation of excessive pricing. Big Screen is also a member of Euromax, an
     association of European large-screen cinema owners that filed a complaint
     in 2000 with the European Commission based on European Community ("EC")
     competition rules, which was dismissed in its entirety by the EC in July
     2002. Euromax is entitled to a decision in appealable form, therefore the
     Company expects the EC to confirm its rejection of the complaint in the
     form of an appealable decision. Big Screen had brought a number of motions
     for restraining orders in this matter relating to the Company's provision
     of films and maintenance, all of which have been rejected by the courts,
     including the Berlin Court of Appeals, and for which all appeals have been
     exhausted. The Company believes that all of the allegations in Big Screen's
     individual defense are meritless and will accordingly continue to prosecute
     this matter vigorously. The Company believes that the amount of the loss,
     if any, suffered in connection with this dispute would not have a material
     impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company,
     although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of
     any such litigation.

(b)  In June 2000, a complaint was filed against the Company and a third party
     by Mandalay Resort Group formerly known as Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc.,
     alleging breach of contract and express warranty, fraud and
     misrepresentation in connection with the installation of certain motion
     simulation bases in Nevada. The case is being heard in the U.S. District
     Court for the District of Nevada. The complainant is seeking damages in
     excess of $4.0 million. The Company has brought a third party action
     against Tri-Tech International, Inc. ("Tri-Tech") claiming that any
     liability of the Company would be due to Tri-Tech's non-performance. The
     Company believes that the allegations made against it in the complaint are
     meritless and will accordingly defend the matter vigorously. The Company
     further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in connection
     with this lawsuit would not have a material impact on the financial
     position or results of operations of the Company, although no assurance can
     be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such litigation.

(c)  In March 2001, a complaint was filed against the Company by Muvico
     Entertainment, L.L.C. ("Muvico"), alleging misrepresentation and seeking
     rescission in respect of the system lease agreements between the Company
     and Muvico. The Company filed counterclaims against Muvico for breach of
     contract, unjust enrichment unfair competition and/or deceptive trade
     practices and theft of trade secrets, and brought claims against
     MegaSystems, Inc. ("MegaSystems"), a large-format theater system
     manufacturer, for tortious interference and unfair competition and/or
     deceptive trade practices and to enjoin Muvico and MegaSystems from using
     the Company's confidential and proprietary information. The case is being
     heard in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, Miami
     Division. The Company moved for summary judgement on its contract claims
     against Muvico in September 2002 and is awaiting a ruling by the court. The
     Company believes that the allegations made by Muvico in its complaint are
     entirely without merit and will accordingly defend the claims vigorously.
     The Company further believes that the amount of loss, if any, suffered in
     connection with this lawsuit would not have a material impact on the
     financial position or results of operation of the Company, although no
     assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such
     litigation.

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

(e)  As of December 31, 2002, the Company has letters of credit of $3.3 million
     outstanding, which have been collateralized by cash deposits.

     The weighted average fair value of common share options granted in 2002 at
     the time of grant was $2.2 million (2001 - $3.2 million, 2000 - $24.1
     million). The fair value of common share options granted is estimated at
     the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
     following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, an average risk free interest
     rate of 2.6% (2001 - 4.5%, 2000 - 6.0%), 20% forfeiture of options vesting
     greater than two years, expected life of one to seven years and expected
     volatility of 50% (2001 - 200%, 2000 - 200%).

(1)  During 2001, the Company reduced its expenses and changed its corporate
     structure to reflect industry-wide economic and financial difficulties
     faced by certain of the Company's customers. During the year ended December
     31, 2001, the Company relocated its Sonics sound-system facility in
     Birmingham, Alabama to the Company's current facilities near Toronto,
     Canada, and reduced its overall corporate workforce by 208 employees. In
     2001, the Company recorded expenses of $12.6 million for staff severances
     and $3.7 million for premises relocation charges. During 2002, the Company
     recovered $0.5 million of restructuring liabilities for terminated
     employees who obtained employment prior to the completion of their
     severance period. As at December 31, 2002 the Company has accrued
     liabilities of $1.4 million (2001 - $5.1 million, 2000 - $nil) for costs of
     severed employees to be paid over the next two years. During 2002, the
     Company paid out $3.2 million of termination benefits.
(2)  The Company, in assessing the carrying value of its long-lived assets
     recorded write-downs of $0.4 million in 2002 (2001 - $26.7 million, 2000 -
     $11.2 million) relating to fixed assets as estimated discounted future cash
     flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset.

19.  SEGMENTED AND OTHER INFORMATION

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company has three reportable segments: IMAX
     systems, films and other. The Company's digital projection systems
     operating segment was disposed of effective December 11, 2001 and has been
     reflected as discontinued operations (see note 23). The IMAX systems
     segment designs, manufactures, sells or leases and maintains IMAX theater
     projection systems. The films segment produces and distributes films, and
     performs film post-production services. The other segment includes camera
     rentals and theater operations. The accounting policies of the segments are
     the same as those described in note 2. Segment performance is evaluated
     based on gross margin less selling, general and administrative expenses,
     research and development expenses, amortization of intangibles, loss
     (income) from equity-accounted investees and restructuring costs and asset
     impairments (recoveries). Inter-segment transactions are not significant.

    IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

20.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency
     rates. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other
     speculative purposes. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with
     various major financial institutions. The Company's cash is invested with
     highly rated financial institutions.

     A substantial portion of the Company's revenues are denominated in U.S.
     dollars while a substantial portion of its costs and expenses are
     denominated in Canadian dollars. A portion of the net U.S. dollar cash
     flows of the Company is periodically converted to Canadian dollars to fund
     Canadian dollar expenses through the spot market. The Company plans to
     convert Canadian dollar expenses to U.S. dollars through the spot markets
     on a go-forward basis. In Japan, the Company has ongoing operating expenses
     related to its operations. Net Japanese Yen flows are converted to U.S.
     dollars generally through the spot markets. The Company also has cash
     receipts under leases denominated in Japanese Yen and Euros which were
     converted to U.S. dollars generally through the spot market. The Company
     plans to convert Japanese Yen and Euros lease cash flows to U.S. dollars
     through the spot markets on a go-forward basis. As at December 31, 2002, no
     foreign currency forward contracts are outstanding.

     The Company's adoption of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities",
     effective January 1, 2001, did not have a significant impact on the
     accounts.

     The carrying values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts
     receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair
     values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company's
     other financial instruments at December 31, comprise of the following:

     
     
                                                                     2002                            2001

     The fair values of the Company's Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes are
     estimated based on quoted market prices for the Company's debt.

     A substantial proportion of the Company's revenues are generated from
     customers in the commercial exhibition industry, which experienced
     significant deterioration in financial condition in 2001 and 2000. To
     minimize its credit risk in this area, the Company retains title to
     underlying theater systems leased, registers theater systems sold as
     collateral, performs initial and ongoing credit evaluations of its
     customers and makes ongoing provisions for its estimate of potentially
     uncollectible amounts.

21.  EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS

(a)  DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

     On July 12, 2000, the Company established a defined benefit pension plan
     covering its two Co-Chief Executive Officers. The plan provides for a
     lifetime retirement benefit from age 55 determined as 75% of the member's
     best average 60 consecutive months of earnings during the 120 months
     preceding retirement. Once benefit payments begin, the benefit is indexed
     annually to the cost of living and further provides for 100% continuance
     for life to the surviving spouse. The benefits were 50% vested as at July
     12, 2000, the plan initiation date. The vesting percentage increases on a
     straight-line basis from inception until age 55. The vesting percentage of
     a member whose employment terminates other than by voluntary retirement
     shall be 100%. Also, upon the occurrence of a change in control of the
     Company prior to termination of a member's employment, the vesting
     percentage shall become 100%. The following assumptions were used in
     determining the unfunded status of the Company's defined benefit pension
     plan at December 31:

     
     
                                                                         2002             2001              2000

     Discount rate                                                           6.0%             7.0%              7.0%

     At the time the Company established the defined benefit pension plan, it
     also took out life insurance policies on its two Co-Chief Executive
     Officers. The Company intends to use the proceeds of such insurance
     policies to satisfy, in whole or in part, the survival benefits due and
     payable under the plan, although there can be no assurance that the Company
     will ultimately do so. At December 31, 2002, the cash surrender value of
     the insurance policies is $0.9 million (2001 - $0.4 million).

21.  EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS (cont'd)

(b)  DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

     The Company also maintains defined contribution employee pension plans for
     its employees, including its executive officers. The Company makes
     contributions to these plans on behalf of employees in an amount equal to
     5% of their base salary subject to certain prescribed maximums. During
     2002, the Company contributed and expensed an aggregate of $0.4 million
     (2001 - $0.5 million, 2000 - $0.6 million) to its Canadian plan and an
     aggregate of $0.1 million (2001 - $0.3 million, 2000 - $0.4 million) to its
     Company's defined contribution employee pension plan under Section 401(k)
     of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.


22.  IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(a)  FASB STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 144, "ACCOUNTING FOR
     THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS" ("FAS 144")

     FAS 144 supercedes FAS 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of
     APB 30 for segments of a business to be disposed of. The pronouncement was
     effective January 1, 2002, and has been adopted by the Company. The
     pronouncement has no current impact on the Company's financial position or
     results of operations.

(b)  FASB STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 146, "ACCOUNTING FOR
     COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES" ("FAS 146")

     In June 2002, the FASB issued FAS 146 which replaces EITF 94-3, "Liability
     Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to
     Exit and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)".
     EITF 94-3 required an entity to record a liability for certain termination
     costs when it adopted a plan to restructure operations. The FASB has
     concluded that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create
     a liability. Under the new rules, exit costs and restructuring liabilities
     generally will be recognized only when incurred. The provisions are
     effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
     31, 2002. The pronouncement has no current impact on the Company's
     financial position or results of operations.


(c)  FASB STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 148 "ACCOUNTING FOR
     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE" ("FAS 148")

     In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS 148 which provides alternate methods
     of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
     accounting for stock-based employee compensation prescribed by FAS 123. In
     addition, FAS 148 requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
     financial statements about the method of accounting and the effect of the
     method used on reported results. The Company has adopted FAS 148 effective
     December 31, 2002, for disclosure purposes only. The Company intends to
     continue investigating alternative option-pricing models in the next fiscal
     year as further discussions on this topic continue in the marketplace.

     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


22.  IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (cont'd)

(d)  FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 45, "GUARANTOR'S ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE
     REQUIREMENTS FOR GUARANTEES, INCLUDING INDIRECT GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS
     OF OTHERS" ("FIN 45")

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45 which requires that upon issuance
     of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value
     of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional
     disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements
     about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition
     provisions of FIN 45 will be effective for any guarantees that are issued
     or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements will be
     effective for the third quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company is currently
     evaluating the effects of FIN 45; however, it does not expect that the
     adoption will have a material impact on the results of operations or
     financial position.

(e)  FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 46, "CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES",
     ("FIN 46")

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 which addresses consolidation by
     business enterprises of variable interest entities. In general, a variable
     interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal
     structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity
     investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not
     provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its
     activities. A variable interest entity often holds financial assets,
     including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. A variable
     interest entity may be essentially passive or it may engage in research and
     development or other activities on behalf of another company. The objective
     of FIN 46 is not to restrict the use of variable interest entities but to
     improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest
     entities. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its
     consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through
     voting interests. FIN 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest
     entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
     majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities
     or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both.
     The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable
     interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation
     requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim
     period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure
     requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31,
     2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established.
     Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company.

23.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Effective December 11, 2001, the Company completed the sale of its wholly
     owned subsidiary, Digital Projection International, including its
     subsidiaries (collectively "DPI"), to a company owned by members of DPI
     management. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30,
     "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of
     a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
     Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB 30"), the Company has segregated
     the discontinued operations for all comparative periods presented.

     As part of the transaction, the Company restructured its advances to DPI,
     releasing DPI from obligations to repay any amounts in excess of $12.7
     million previously advanced by the Company, and reorganized the remaining
     $12.7 million of debt owing to the Company into two separate loan
     agreements. The loans receivable are collateralized by fixed and floating
     charges over all DPI assets including intellectual properties. One of the
     loans is convertible, upon the occurrence of certain events, into shares
     representing 49% of the total share capital of DPI. DPI also agreed to
     release the Company from its ongoing obligations to DPI.

         (1)  During 2002, the Company recorded earnings of $2.1 million from
              discontinued operations relating to future obligations that have
              been eliminated.

24.  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A)  SEC STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN NO. 101, "REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL
     STATEMENTS" ("SAB 101")

     In accordance with the interpretive guidance of SAB 101, the Company,
     effective January 1, 2000, recognizes revenue on theater systems, whether
     pursuant to sales-type leases or sales, at the time that installation is
     complete. Prior to January 1, 2000, the Company recognized revenue from
     sales-type leases and sales of theater systems at the time of delivery. The
     effect of applying this change in accounting principle was a fiscal 2000
     non-cash charge of $54.5 million, net of income taxes of $33.4 million, or
     $1.82 per share, representing the cumulative impact on retained earnings as
     at December 31, 1999.

(B)  AICPA STATEMENT OF POSITION 00-2, "ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS
     OF FILMS" ("SOP 00-2")

     Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted SOP 00-2. Prior to January
     1, 2000, film costs and associated licensing revenues were recognized in
     accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 53,
     "Financial Reporting by Producers and Distributors of Motion Picture Films"
     and exploitation costs were capitalized and amortized. As a result of
     adopting SOP 00-2, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $6.6 million,
     net of income taxes of $3.9 million, or $0.22 per share, to fiscal 2000
     earnings, representing the cumulative impact on retained earnings as at
     December 31, 1999.

25.  FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the
     presentation adopted in the current year.

    IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
     (Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


26. AMENDMENTS

     Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FAS Nos. 4, 44, and 64,
     Amendment of FAS 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002" ("FAS
     145"), under which gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be
     classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in APB 30.
     Under FAS 145, the Company was required to reclassify any gain or loss on
     extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item to net
     earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for 2003 and all
     prior period presentations. The Company has reclassified the extraordinary
     gain on repurchase of Subordinated Notes in 2002 and 2001 within net
     earnings from continuing operations before income taxes. The Company has
     applied FAS 145 within this Form 10-K/A for the fiscal years ended December
     31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 which had the effect of reclassifying gains on the
     retirement of notes of $8.3 million, net of income tax expense of $3.6
     million, $38.7 million, net of income tax expense of $16.8 million, and
     $nil, respectively from extraordinary items to net earnings from continuing
     operations before income taxes.


     The Company has also reclassified foreign exchange gains (losses) to be
     included within selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal
     years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in the amounts of $0.4
     million, $(1.4) million, and $(1.8) million, respectively. The Company has
     also reclassified receivable provisions (recoveries) previously included
     within selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring costs
     and asset impairment (recoveries) to be separately reported as receivable
     provisions, net of (recoveries) in the amounts of $(1.2) million, $17.3
     million, and $13.1 million, respectively.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires the Company's directors and executive officers and
persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity
securities (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") to file reports of ownership
on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Reporting Persons are also required by the Exchange Act
to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

     Based solely upon review of Forms 3 and 4 (and amendments thereto) received
from or written representations by the Reporting Persons, in respect of the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Company believes that an initial report
on Form 3 may not have been timely filed for Wasserstein Management Partners,

King, and Ziebold filed a late Form 4 relating to one grant of options. Mr. Utay

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS (cont'd)

SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENTS

     IMAX Corporation (the "Corporation"), Wasserstein Perella Partners, L.P.,
Wasserstein Perella Offshore Partners, L.P., WPPN, Inc., and the Michael J.
Biondi Voting Trust (collectively "WP"), and each of Messrs. Gelfond and
Wechsler are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement
(the "Shareholders' Agreement") dated as of February 9, 1999, which amends and
restates the previous amended and restated shareholders' agreement among those
parties dated June 16, 1994. The Shareholders' Agreement includes, among other
things, certain restrictions on transfers of common shares, take-along rights
and come-along rights. If WP holds at least 35% of their original holdings and
WP desires to transfer all of their securities in a transaction in which a
majority of the shares of outstanding common stock are to be sold, then Messrs.
Gelfond and Wechsler will be required to sell their securities on the same terms
as WP sells its securities.

     The Shareholders' Agreement also contains provisions related to the
composition of the Board of Directors and committees thereof. WP is entitled,
but not required, to designate individuals to be nominated for election as
directors as follows: so long as WP holds 3,685,759 or more common shares, it
may designate six nominees, of whom three may be employees of WP and its
affiliates (the "WP Employee Designees") and three shall be independent persons
and resident Canadians. If WP holds less than 3,685,759 common shares, but
1,842,879 or more common shares, it may designate four nominees, of whom two may
be WP Employee Designees and two shall be independent persons and resident
Canadians. If WP holds less than 1,842,879 common shares but 921,439 or more
common shares, it may designate two nominees, one of whom may be a WP Employee
Designee and the other of whom shall be an independent person and shall be a
resident Canadian. In addition to these provisions, each of Messrs. Gelfond and
Wechsler is entitled to be a director of the Corporation so long as he is either
a Co-Chief Executive Officer or is the Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation or Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler own more than 375,000 common shares.
In addition, Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler are collectively entitled, but not
required, to designate individuals to be nominated for election as directors as
follows: so long as they hold 1,628,000 or more common shares, they may
designate three nominees, all of whom shall be independent persons and resident
Canadians. If they hold less than 1,628,000 common shares, but 1,075,000 or more
common shares, they may designate two nominees, both of whom shall be
independent and resident Canadians. If they hold less than 1,075,000 common
shares but 375,000 or more common shares, they may designate one nominee who
shall be an independent person and resident Canadian. If the requirement that
the Corporation have 'resident Canadian' directors is changed, then neither WP
nor Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler will be required to designate resident Canadian
nominees.

     The Shareholders' Agreement also provides that the Corporation, WP and each
of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler shall use their best efforts to cause the
Corporation to establish a nominating committee of the Board of Directors
consisting of two directors, one designated by WP and the other designated by
Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler. In addition, WP has the right, subject to the
approval of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler, to designate a WP Employee Designee
for appointment by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as the
Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, as long as WP holds at least 2,948,607
common shares. W. Townsend Ziebold has been approved as such designee. If Mr.
Ziebold no longer holds that position, then WP is to propose three replacements
and Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler shall select one of those proposed for
appointment by the Board as the Non-Executive Chairman. Each of Messrs. Gelfond
and Wechsler is entitled to be appointed as a Co-Chairman or Chairman of the
Corporation as long as he is a Co-Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation. The Agreement provides that the duties of the
Non-Executive Chairman and the Co-Chief Executive Officers shall be as set forth
in the Bylaws, including the requirement that the following actions be approved
by the Non-Executive Chairman and at least one of the Co-Chief Executive
Officers: setting the dates and times of meetings of the directors and
shareholders (other than normal quarterly Board of Directors, and annual
shareholders' meetings), setting the agenda of such meetings, and appointing
members of committees of the Board of Directors other than persons designated by
WP and Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler as provided in the Shareholders' Agreement.
Each of WP and Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler have the right to designate one
director to serve on each committee of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation, provided that each such person meets applicable regulatory
requirements.

All of the WP Employee Designees were elected as directors at the Corporation's
annual and special meeting of shareholders held June 7, 1999 and the CEO
Advisors were disbanded in June 1999.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     The Corporation, WP and Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler also entered into a
registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") dated as of
February 9, 1999, which carried forward the corresponding provisions of the June
16, 1994 shareholders' agreement, and pursuant to which each of WP and Messrs.
Gelfond and Wechsler have certain rights to cause the Corporation to use its
best efforts to register their securities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.
WP is entitled to effect up to four demand registrations and Messrs. Gelfond and
Wechsler are entitled to make two such demand registrations. WP and Messrs.
Gelfond and Wechsler also have unlimited piggyback rights to register their
securities under the Registration Rights Agreement whenever the Corporation
proposes to register any securities under the U.S. Securities Act, other than
the registration of securities pursuant to an initial public offering or the
registration of securities upon Form S-4 or S-8 under the U.S. Securities Act or
filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely
to the Corporation's existing shareholders. In addition to these provisions, if
Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler hold at least 25% of their original holdings, WP
has recouped its original investment plus a 30% compounded annual return on such
investment, and WP initiates the sale of the Corporation, then for 60 days
thereafter, WP will enter into exclusive negotiations with Messrs. Gelfond and
Wechsler for this sale of the Company, and for another 60 days thereafter WP may
not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Corporation to a third party.

     The former shareholders of the Corporation have substantially similar
piggyback registration rights that commenced on March 1, 1996 pursuant to the
terms of the Selling Shareholders' Agreement (as defined below).

     WP, Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler, and the former shareholders of
Predecessor IMAX have entered into another shareholders' agreement (the "Selling
Shareholders' Agreement") which includes, among other things, registration
rights, tag along rights and drag along rights.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

STANDSTILL AGREEMENT

     On July 9, 2001 pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv) of the Shareholders'
Agreement, the Corporation and each of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler entered into
a Standstill Agreement (the "GW Standstill Agreement"). Under the terms of the
GW Standstill Agreement, each of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler agreed to vote in
any election for directors in favor of each person nominated by the then current
Board of Directors, not to participate in or facilitate proxy contests, not to
deposit into a voting trust or subject voting securities to an agreement with
respect to voting such securities, not to acquire or effect or attempt to
acquire or effect control of the Corporation or to participate in a "group" as
defined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
which owns or seeks to acquire beneficial ownership or control of the
Corporation, and not to attempt to influence the Corporation except through
normal Board of Directors' processes; provided, however, that the GW Standstill
Agreement does not prevent either of Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler from taking
any action in his capacity as an officer or employee of the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries, including as Co-Chief Executive Officer or Co-Chairman of
the Corporation. As a result of entering into the GW Standstill Agreement, in
the event of the resignation, death, disqualification under the Canada Business
Corporations Act or the removal or expiration of the term of any director
designated by Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler pursuant to the Shareholders'
Agreement, Messrs. Gelfond and Wechsler shall have the right to designate a
replacement for such director pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders'
Agreement, and WP shall use its best efforts to cause each such designated
director to be elected or appointed as a director of the Corporation. The GW
Standstill Agreement expires on July 8, 2003, and provides that Messrs. Gelfond
and Wechsler may, from time to time, extend the term of the GW Standstill
Agreement for additional one year terms thereafter (but in no event beyond March
1, 2004).

     The Articles of the Corporation set forth the requirement that certain
matters be approved by 75% of the directors then in office. These matters are:
(i) hiring or terminating the employment of the Chief Executive Officer or any
Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; (ii) issuing any shares of
capital stock for a purchase price, or incurring indebtedness, in an amount of
$25.0 million or more; (iii) disposing of any material single asset, or all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or approving the sale or
merger of the Corporation; (iv) acquiring a substantial interest in any other
entity or entering into any major strategic alliance; and (v) entering into or
changing the terms of any agreement or transaction with WP or Messrs. Gelfond
and Wechsler (other than agreements in the ordinary course of business, such as
employment agreements).

     On December 4, 2002, the Company granted to Marc Utay, a director of the
Company, options to acquire 150,000 common shares, in accordance with the
Company's Stock Option Plan, in consideration of the services rendered by Mr.
Utay in connection with the purchase by the Company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company of certain Subordinated Notes in 2002 (see Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities in Item 5).

ITEM 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report (the "Evaluation
Date"), the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
"disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d- 14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934). Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that as of the
Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those
entities.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

     There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or, to
the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company's internal controls subsequent to Evaluation Date. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal
controls and as a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
