Total book value, which approximates fair value, of the non-cash consideration was approximately $19.0 million.

In connection with a May, 2004 sale of certain property and equipment, the Company received, in addition to cash proceeds, promissory notes totaling approximately $1.5 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company acquired rental equipment by entering into capital leases totaling approximately $2.4 million.

1. Basis of Preparation

The Company is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings" or "Parent"), a corporation whose sole stockholder is Ronald O. Perelman. The Company's principal business operations are conducted through its subsidiaries.

As also described in Note 2 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, on April 19, 2001, M&F Worldwide Corp. ("M&F Worldwide") purchased from PX Holding, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mafco Holdings, all 7,320,225 shares (the "Purchased Shares") of the Company's Common Stock held by PX Holding (the "M&F Purchase"). The Purchased Shares constituted approximately 83.5% of the Company's then outstanding Common Stock. As a result of the purchase, Mafco Holdings increased its indirect interest in M&F Worldwide to a majority position.

During 2001, certain shareholders of M&F Worldwide brought lawsuits against M&F Worldwide and its directors challenging the M&F Purchase as an alleged breach of fiduciary duty and sought, among other things, rescission of the M&F Purchase transaction. One of the shareholders dismissed his lawsuit pursuant to a settlement. On December 3, 2002, the remaining parties to the litigation consummated a settlement of the litigation (the "M&F Settlement"), whereby Mafco Holdings acquired, through PX Holding, (1) the shares of the Company's Common Stock that M&F Worldwide had purchased in April 2001, (2) the shares of the Company's Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, (the "Series A Preferred Stock") that M&F Worldwide acquired in December 2001, (3) the 9 5/8% Notes that a subsidiary of M&F Worldwide acquired in November 2001, and (4) the Las Palmas Note in the amount of $6.7 million that the Company issued to M&F Worldwide on its acquisition of the shares of Las Palmas (the "Las Palmas Note") (see Note 14 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A). In addition, all agreements which M&F Worldwide entered into in connection with the M&F Purchase and the December 2001 issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock were terminated.

Thus, after the consummation of the M&F Settlement, the Company ceased being a subsidiary of M&F Worldwide. Mafco Holdings, after giving effect to the M&F Settlement, indirectly controls 85.7% of the voting shares of the Company. The M&F Settlement did not have a significant impact on the recorded values of the Company's assets or liabilities since the transaction was between parties under common control.

amounts outstanding under the MacAndrews Line were retired in exchange for shares of new Series D Cumulative Pay-in-Kind Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock") and (ii) MacAndrews & Forbes increased the amount of the Second MacAndrews Line to $20.0 million and extended the maturity to April 16, 2009. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had drawn approximately $7.9 million against the Second MacAndrews line.

On June 4, 1998, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (as subsequently amended on September 30, 1998, June 30, 1999, March 15, 2002, June 14, 2002, September 30, 2002, March 25, 2003 and November 12, 2003, the "Prior Credit Agreement"). The Company's obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Prior Credit Agreement was comprised of two facilities, the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility. As of December 31, 2003, amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement were $151.8 million and $99.2 million for the Term Facility and Revolving Facility, respectively. As described below, the Prior Credit Agreement was replaced with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to the January 2004 Refinancing.

On January 16, 2004, the Company consummated a series of transactions to refinance its indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement (the "January 2004 Refinancing"). As part of the January 2004 Refinancing, the Company sold, in a private placement, $104.2 million of senior secured notes (the "Senior Notes") bearing interest at a rate of 12.50%, payable quarterly, with a maturity date of January 16, 2009. The Senior Notes were sold at an original issue discount of approximately 4% for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million. The Senior Notes are secured by a second-priority lien on substantially all of the Company's assets. The indenture pursuant to which the Senior Notes were issued (the "2004 Indenture") requires that, among other provisions, the Company achieve certain EBITDA levels and abide by certain other restrictive covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, disposition of assets, and certain restricted payments including dividends to stockholders. Upon certain events of default under the 2004 Indenture, the Senior Notes will bear interest at 2.5% above the rate otherwise applicable.

Also as part of the January 2004 Refinancing, the Company issued to PX Holding 215,274 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in exchange for (a) 159,644 shares of Series C Cumulative Pay-in-kind Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), of the Company, held by PX Holding (together with approximately $13.2 million of accumulated dividends thereon); (b) $23.0 million in cash; (c) the retirement of all principal and interest (an aggregate of $10,180,930) owed as of January 16, 2004 under the MacAndrews Line; (d) 33.3 shares of common stock of PANY Rental, Inc. ("PANY Rental"), having a fair market value of $0.7 million (such that, as of January 16, 2004, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding shares of PANY Rental); (e) the retirement of all amounts (consisting of $630,780 in principal and $82,913 in accrued and unpaid interest) owed by PANY Rental to PX Holding pursuant to a certain promissory note held by PX Holding; and (f) the retirement of all amounts (consisting of $7.8 million in principal and unpaid interest) owed to Mafco Holdings under a certain promissory note in the principal amount of $6.7 million, dated July 1, 2002, issued by the Company to M & F Worldwide and subsequently acquired by Mafco Holdings. The Company also issued to PX Holding 1,381,690 shares of new Series E Non-Cumulative Perpetual Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "Series E Preferred Stock") in exchange for 1,381,690 shares of Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). As a result of the January 2004 Refinancing transactions, all of the outstanding shares of Series A and Series C Preferred Stock were transferred to the Company and a Certificate of Elimination was filed for each series. In addition, MacAndrews & Forbes increased the amount of the Second MacAndrews Line to $20.0 million and extended the maturity to April 16, 2009.

4. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

The Company used proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes and the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock to reduce the indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement by $115.4 million, and replaced the Prior Credit Agreement with an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") with the lenders under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a single term loan facility in the principal amount of $135.6 million repayable in quarterly installments with a final maturity of January 12, 2007, except that the term facility shall be due on September 5, 2005 if any of the 9 5/8% Notes remain outstanding on that date. The term facility bears interest at either the ABR or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 5.25% in the case of ABR loans or 6.25% in the case of Eurodollar Loans. The term facility under the Amended Credit Agreement is secured on substantially the same basis as indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement. In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company paid fees to lenders and professional advisors of approximately $3.5 million, including an original issue discount fee of approximately $2.0 million. Approximately $3.1 million of the fees paid were expensed in 2004.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to repay $5.0 million in principal during 2004 in payments of $1.25 million due at the end of each quarter, whereas under the Prior Credit Agreement the Company would have been required to make principal payments of approximately $221.1 million in 2004. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement revised certain financial tests and other restrictive covenants set forth in the Prior Credit Agreement, including required EBITDA (as defined), limitations on indebtedness, and other provisions. As defined in the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture, EBITDA includes adjustments for severance expense, refinancing expense, foreign exchange gain or loss, and other non-cash charges. As of June 30, 2004, $133.1 million was outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement.

As a result of the refinancing, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 6, "Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced" ("SFAS 6"), the Company reclassified $246.0 million of the refinanced debt to long-term debt as of December 31, 2003.

5. Preferred Stock Transactions

In connection with a March 2003 amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement, all the Series B Preferred Stock was contributed back to the Company and 102,220 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were issued. The Series C Preferred Stock was non-voting; had a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends; and entitled the holder to cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum regardless of whether declared or earned. In addition, the Series C Preferred Stock was subject to redemption in certain circumstances upon a change of control.

On January 16, 2004, as part of the January 2004 Refinancing, the Company issued to PX Holding 215,274 shares of new Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting, has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and entitles the holder to cumulative dividends at a rate of 10% per annum regardless of whether declared or earned. Additionally, the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to redemption in certain circumstances upon a change of control. The Company also issued to PX Holding 1,381,690 shares of Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for 1,381,690 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share, voting together with the Common Stock as a single class, has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and has the same dividend rights as the Series A Preferred Stock, described below.

The Series A Preferred Stock was voting and was entitled to non-cumulative dividends at a rate of $0.05 per share per annum payable, if declared, quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30

and December 31. In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock had also participated pro rata on a share-for-share basis with the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") with respect to any dividends declared or paid on the Common Stock.

As a result of the January 2004 Refinancing transactions, all of the outstanding shares of Series A and Series C Preferred Stock were transferred to the Company.

6. New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 requires an investor with a majority of the variable interests ("primary beneficiary") in a variable interest entity ("VIE") to consolidate the entity and also requires majority and significant variable interest investors to provide certain disclosures. A VIE is an entity in which the voting equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest, or the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the entity's activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. For arrangements entered into with VIEs created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 were originally effective as of the beginning of the three months ended September 30, 2003; however, the FASB subsequently delayed the effective date of this provision until the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for entities that have interests in structures that are commonly referred to as special-purpose entities and for periods ending after March 15, 2004 for all other types of variable interest entities. The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into with new VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The Company identified one VIE but did not consolidate the entity as the impact on the Company's financial statements was not material.

7. Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments: the rental of camera systems, lighting systems and other equipment, and the sales of related products (Rental and Sales); and the high-resolution scanning of film, digital color timing, laser film recording of digital video and high definition images to film, and digital mastering services (Post Production).

Potential common shares, consisting of outstanding stock options and warrants, are not included in the diluted loss per share calculation since they are antidilutive.

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), which permits the Company to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS 148"), which amends SFAS 123. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The Company has complied with the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148.

Had the Company applied the fair value recognition provision of FASB No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation, there would have been no effect on reported net loss or net loss per share for the three-month and six- month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

12. Acquisition of Minority Interest in PANY Rental, Inc.

On May 30, 2003, the Company purchased an additional 1/3 interest in PANY Rental for a combined purchase price of $333,000, increasing the Company's ownership interest from a 1/3 interest to a 2/3 interest. As a result of this increased ownership interest, the Company consolidated the financial position and results of operations of PANY Rental in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the effects of which were immaterial. In addition, on May 30, 2003, PX Holding purchased the remaining 1/3 interest in PANY Rental for a purchase price of $700,000 and purchased a promissory note payable by PANY Rental with a principal amount plus accrued interest of approximately $700,000. The purchase price for this promissory note plus accrued interest was approximately $700,000.

As discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as part of the January 2004 Refinancing, the Company issued to PX Holding 215,274 shares of Series D Preferred Stock in exchange for, among other items, the remaining 1/3 interest in PANY Rental. As a result, as of January 16, 2004, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding shares of PANY Rental.

PANY Rental holds an exclusive license to rent the Company's camera systems in the New York market and a license to use the Panavision trademark in connection with the rental of camera systems and related equipment to customers.

13. Recent Developments

On August 6, 2004, the Company sold its 80% interest in EFILM, LLC, ("EFILM') to Deluxe Laboratories, Inc. ("Deluxe"), the holder of the remaining 20% interest in EFILM, for total consideration of $32.5 million, including $27.5 million in cash and a promissory note for $5 million (the "EFILM Sale"). The Company estimates it will recognize a gain on the sale in the range of $15 million.

13. Recent Developments (Continued)

3^rd Quarter of 2004, as permitted under the Company's Amended Credit Agreement and the 2004 Indenture, should enable the Company to remain in compliance with its minimum EBITDA and other financial covenants. In the absence of such reinvestment, however, it is possible that the Company may not be in compliance with the financial covenants for the four-quarter period ending September 30, 2004 as a result of the EFILM EBITDA elimination and potential lower-than-expected motion picture industry activity. In the event that the Company is unable to meet its required covenants for the period ending September 30, 2004, the Company would be required to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture. Although the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture have accommodated the Company to date and the Company believes that the lenders will continue to do so, there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so nor can there be any assurance that the Company could successfully effect any alternate financing to replace the Amended Credit Agreement or other debt if repayment is accelerated

Principally to provide a mechanism for the reinvestment of the proceeds of the EFILM Sale, on August 11, 2004, the Company and the other parties to the Amended Credit Agreement entered into an amendment and waiver to the Amended Credit Agreement ("First Amendment and Waiver"). Such reinvestment includes the Company's recent acquisition of Technovision France, a supplier of camera systems to the motion picture, television and television commercials markets in France. To provide a similar mechanism for the reinvestment of the proceeds of the EFILM Sale under the 2004 Indenture, on August 11, 2004, the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee, entered into a supplemental indenture ("Supplemental Indenture").

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company's revenue is derived from three sources: (i) camera rental operations, (ii) lighting rental operations, and (iii) sales and other revenue. Revenue from camera rental operations consists of the rental of camera systems, lenses and accessories to the motion picture and television industries through a network of rental offices located throughout North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

The Company's lighting rental operations generate revenue through the rental of lighting, lighting grip, transportation and distribution equipment, as well as mobile generators, which are all used in the production of feature films, television programs, commercials and other events. The Company owns and operates lighting rental facilities in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Revenue generated by Lee Lighting, the Company's lighting rental facility located in the United Kingdom, generates the majority of the Company's lighting rental operations revenue.

Sales and other revenue is comprised of: (i) the manufacture and sale of lighting filters through Lee Filters in the United Kingdom and the United States; (ii) operations of EFILM, LLC, ("EFILM"), which provides high-resolution scanning of film, digital color timing, laser film recording of digital video and high definition images to film, and digital mastering services to the motion picture and television industries, and (iii) sales of various consumable products, such as film stock, light bulbs and gaffer tape, which are used in all types of productions. In August, 2004 the Company sold its interest in EFILM.

The Company considers revenue from international business to be that revenue which is generated from the rental of its equipment by productions that are located at production sites outside of the United States.

This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed under Item 7 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis includes the Company's consolidated results of operations for 2004 as compared to 2003.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2003

Camera Rental Operations


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
	2004			2003						%
Rental revenue	$	26,755		$	26,098		$	657			2.5	%
Cost of rentals		16,125			15,441			684			4.4	%
Gross margin	$	10,630		$	10,657		$	(27	)		(0.3	%)
Cost %		60.3	%		59.2	%

The increase in camera rental revenue principally reflects a positive translation effect of foreign exchange rate changes of approximately $1 million and, to a lesser degree, the inclusion of revenue from PANY Rental, Inc. ("PANY Rental") as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY Rental's results of operations from the date it increased its ownership of PANY Rental to 67% in May 2003, partially offset by decreased revenues in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

PANAVISION INC.

The increase in cost of rentals occurred due to higher international expenses attributable to foreign exchange rate changes and the inclusion of expenses from PANY Rental as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY Rental's results of operations, as well as higher personnel and other costs to enhance customer service consistent with the Company's strategy. The increases were partially offset by decreased commissions paid to the Company's third party agents due to decreased revenues from these agents.

Lighting Rental Operations


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
	2004			2003					%
Rental revenue	$	10,955		$	9,470		$	1,485		15.7	%
Cost of rentals		9,837			8,685			1,152		13.3	%
Gross margin	$	1,118		$	785		$	333		42.4	%
Cost %		89.8	%		91.7	%

The primary factor causing the increase in lighting rental revenue was an increase in lighting rental revenues of $1.7 million from PANY Rental as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY Rental's results of operations since June 1, 2003, and the positive effect of foreign exchange rate changes on revenues from international operations, partially offset by decreased revenues at Lee Lighting in the United Kingdom. Cost of rentals increased primarily due to increased expenses of $0.9 million related to consolidation of PANY Rental's lighting business and inclusion of the translation effect of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by decreased expenses from Lee Lighting in the United Kingdom. The decreased expenses at Lee Lighting relate to the decreased revenues discussed above.

Sales and Other


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
	2004			2003					%
Sales	$	16,249		$	12,866		$	3,383		26.3	%
Cost of sales		8,563			7,265			1,298		17.9	%
Gross margin	$	7,686		$	5,601		$	2,085		37.2	%
Cost %		52.7	%		56.5	%

The increase in sales and other was primarily due to continued growth in EFILM revenue of $2.7 million. The balance of the change was primarily due to international operations, principally attributable to the positive effect of foreign exchange rate changes on revenues. Costs increased $0.8 million due to the continued growth in revenue at EFILM, with the remaining increase due to higher translated expenses associated with the higher international revenues.

Operating Costs


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2004		2003				%
Selling, general and administrative	$	19,039	$	15,716	$	3,323		21.1	%
Research and development		1,460		1,330		130		9.8	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased due to additional expenses at PANY of $0.8 million as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY results since June 1, 2003; increased expenses at EFILM of $0.4 million related to increased activity; increased expenses of $1.1

PANAVISION INC.

million due to higher infrastructure costs, principally personnel related in support of future growth initiatives; and increases attributable to foreign exchange rate changes of approximately $0.8 million, consistent with the increase in international revenues as discussed earlier. Research and development expenses increased because of the Company's strategy to expand new product development efforts.

Interest, Taxes and Other


(in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Favorable (Unfavorable)
	2004			2003						%
Interest expense	$	(7,907	)	$	(7,280	)	$	(627	)		(8.6	)%
Interest income		30			67			(37	)		(55.2	)%
Foreign exchange gain		234			211			23			10.1	%
Other income, net		1,441			796			645			81.0	%
Income tax (provision) benefit		(280	)		2,527			(2,807	)		(111.1	)%

The increase in net interest expense primarily reflects higher effective interest rates in 2004, offset in part by lower debt balances compared to the prior quarter. The lower debt balances result from the March 2003 contribution of $90.9 million principal amount of the 9 5/8% Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2006 ("9 5/8% Notes") owned by Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Mafco Holdings") in exchange for equity and the January 2004 Refinancing (defined below in "Long-Term Debt"), as well as payments of scheduled amortization.

Other income, net increased principally due to a $1.5 million gain on sale on the disposition of property and equipment in May 2004. The primary component for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was a $0.7 million gain related to an insurance settlement for flood-damaged equipment.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a $2.7 million tax benefit associated with domestic tax losses. In assessing the recoverability of the related increase to deferred tax assets, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $2.0 million, resulting in a net domestic tax benefit of $0.7 million. This was offset by a $1.0 million provision relating to profitable foreign operations, based on application of the Company's effective tax rate on full-year income, and foreign taxes withheld at source. See Note 6 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K/A for a discussion of the Company's Tax Sharing Agreements.

Under applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations, as a result of the M&F Settlement (defined in Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), the Company may not join in filing a consolidated federal income tax return with either Mafco Holdings or the Company's subsidiaries until May 2006 without consent from the Internal Revenue Service. Accordingly, from the effective date of the M&F Settlement of March 3, 2002, the Company will file separate federal income tax returns for the Company and incorporated subsidiaries. The Company does not believe that deconsolidation of its federal income tax returns will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

Cost %		56.5	%		54.6	%

The increase in camera rental revenue principally reflects a positive translation effect of foreign exchange rate changes of approximately $3 million and the inclusion of revenue of $1.0 million from PANY Rental as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY Rental's results of operations from the date it increased its ownership of PANY Rental to 67% in May 2003, partially offset by decreased revenues in the U.S. and Asia Pacific region.

Gross margin	$	1,496		$	749		$	747		99.7	%
Cost %		92.3	%		95.4	%

The primary factor causing the increase in lighting rental revenue was an increase in lighting rental revenues of $3.3 million from PANY Rental as a result of the Company's consolidation of PANY Rental's results of operations since June 1, 2003, and the positive effect of foreign exchange rate changes on revenues from international operations, partially offset by decreased revenues at Lee Lighting in the United Kingdom.

The increase in sales and other was primarily due to continued growth in EFILM revenue of $6.2 million. The balance of the change was primarily due to international operations, principally attributable to the positive effect of foreign exchange rate changes on revenues. Costs increased $2.0 million due to the continued growth in revenue at EFILM, with the remaining increase principally due to higher translated expenses associated with the higher international revenues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004 the Company recorded a $6.9 million tax benefit associated with domestic tax losses. In assessing the recoverability of the related increase to deferred tax assets, the Company increased its valuation allowance by $5.3 million, resulting in a net domestic tax benefit of $1.6 million. This was offset by a $3.4 million provision relating to profitable foreign operations, based on application of the Company's effective tax rate on full-year income, and foreign taxes withheld at source.

In connection with an amendment to the Company's Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below), on November 12, 2003, MacAndrews & Forbes agreed to provide a second revolving line of credit (the "Second MacAndrews Line") in the amount of $10.0 million at a rate equal to 50 basis points above the rate provided for in the revolving facility pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement and a maturity of April 15, 2004.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to repay $5.0 million in principal in 2004, whereas under the Prior Credit Agreement the Company would have been required to make principal payments of approximately $221.1 million in 2004.

Recent Events

On August 6, 2004, the Company sold its 80% interest in EFILM to Deluxe Laboratories, Inc. ("Deluxe"), the holder of the remaining 20% interest in EFILM, for total consideration of $32.5 million, including $27.5 million in cash and a promissory note for $5 million (the "EFILM Sale").

PANAVISION INC.

The EFILM Sale will result in the elimination of EFILM's EBITDA from the EBITDA counted for the purposes of the minimum EBITDA and other financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture. Although there can be no assurance, the Company anticipates that additional EBITDA resulting from the reinvestment of the proceeds from the EFILM Sale during the 3^rd Quarter of 2004, as permitted under the Company's Amended Credit Agreement and the 2004 Indenture, should enable the Company to remain in compliance with its minimum EBITDA and other financial covenants. In the absence of such reinvestment, however, it is possible that the Company may not be in compliance with the financial covenants for the four-quarter period ending September 30, 2004 as a result of the EFILM EBITDA elimination and potential lower-than-expected motion picture industry activity. In the event that the Company is unable to meet its required covenants for the period ending September 30, 2004, the Company would be required to seek waivers or amendments of such covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture. Although the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement and 2004 Indenture have accommodated the Company to date and the Company believes that the lenders will continue to do so, there can be no assurance that they will continue to do so nor can there be any assurance that the Company could successfully effect any alternate financing to replace the Amended Credit Agreement or other debt if repayment is accelerated.

Capital Expenditures

The Company intends to use cash provided by operating activities and its revolving lines of credit to make additional capital expenditures primarily to manufacture camera systems and accessories and purchase other rental equipment. Based on projected revenues in 2004 and beyond, the Company anticipates incurring a higher level of capital expenditures in 2004 as compared to 2003. Consistent with the Company's view of the market and its related strategy, a higher percentage of such spending will pertain to the Company's core film business as compared to recent years. In addition, a higher level of spending for new products for the core film business is projected relative to recent years.

Liquidity Requirements

Panavision is a holding company whose principal material asset is the ownership interest in its subsidiaries. The Company's principal business operations are conducted by its subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company's source of cash to pay its obligations is expected to be distributions with respect to its ownership interests in its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that its subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow to pay dividends or distribute funds to the Company or that applicable state or foreign law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants contained in the debt instruments of such subsidiaries, will permit such dividends or distributions.

Although there can be no assurance, the Company expects that cash flows from operations, borrowings under the revolving line of credit, and cash equity contributions and advances from affiliates will be sufficient to enable the Company to meet its anticipated operating, capital spending and debt service requirements through at least the next twelve months, subject to the discussion above under Recent Events.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Seasonality

The Company's revenue and net income are subject to seasonal fluctuations. In North America, episodic television programs cease filming in the second quarter for several months, and typically resume production in August. Feature film production activity typically reaches its peak in the third and fourth quarters.

SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," ("SFAS 142") on January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets not be amortized but, instead, tested at least annually for impairment while intangible assets that have finite useful lives continue to be amortized over their respective useful lives.

The Company performed an impairment test relating to its goodwill and tradename as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003, and found that the fair values of its goodwill and its tradename are in excess of carrying value.

The Company will perform its annual impairment tests of goodwill and tradename during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 in connection with the Company's planning efforts for 2005. As the Company has not yet determined what the effects of these tests will be on its earnings and financial position, these effects, which may have a material impact, will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2004.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, as well as certain of the Company's other public documents and statements and oral statements, contain forward-looking statements that reflect management's current assumptions and estimates of future performance and economic conditions. Such statements are made in reliance upon safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions investors that forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and future trends to differ materially from those projected, stated, or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition, estimates of cost savings included in this Form 10-Q are based on various assumptions that are subject to inherent uncertainty and actual cost savings could vary from these estimates. Further, the Company encourages investors to read the summary of its critical accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003.

In addition to factors described in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings and others, the following factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company: (a) a significant reduction in the number of feature film, commercial or series television productions; (b) competitive pressures arising from changes in technology, customer requirements, price competition and industry standards; (c) an increase in expenses related to new product initiatives and product development efforts; (d) unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations; (e) significant increases in interest rates; (f) lower-than-expected cash flows from operations; (g) difficulties or delays in developing and introducing new products or failure of the Company's customers to accept new product offerings; (h) difficulties or delays in implementing improvements in operating efficiencies; (i) the inability to secure capital contributions or loans from affiliates, refinance its indebtedness or sell its equity securities; or (j) failure to reinvest the proceeds of the EFILM Sale as planned. The Company assumes no responsibility to update the forward-looking statements contained in this filing.
