Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The Performing Arts theater group is composed of two funds: 1) an operating fund, Fund 4190‐Oper, which includes the
Performing Arts Center Operating Fund, the Rialto Theater Fund, the Broadway Theater District Fund, and the
Pantages Theater Remodel Fund; and 2) a restricted fund, Fund 4190‐Panta, which includes the Pantages Investment
Fund.
Financial Highlights
Net operating expense is $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1.8 million in 2009.
This is primarily due to $592,000 of bad debt expense recorded in 2009 for potential non‐payment of loan, and a
reduction of labor, supplies and services in 2010.
The current operating fund cash balance is $232,000, compared to $56,000 a year ago. The increase is partly due
to an increase of $150,000 in contributions for acquisition and major repairs of capital assets.
Assets totaled $19.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $19.1 million in 2009.

Current assets
The Theaters Group Operating Fund has a cash balance of $232,000 as of December 30, 2010, which is an increase of
$176,000 from a year ago. The BCPA loan balance is $557,000. In December 2010, a payment of $60,000 was received, of
which $25,000 was applied to interest and $35,000 to principal. The loan balance was reduced to $557,000 and the
allowance for doubtful loans receivable was adjusted to $557,000 to recognize the potential non‐payment at December
31, 2010. A request for a two‐year extension to December 31, 2011 was approved by Ordinance Number 27859.
The due from other funds account increased to $31,000 in 2010 compared to $460 in 2009. The increase is from a
contribution from the Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bond Fund for the acquisition of capital assets.
Restricted assets
The cash and equity in pooled investments is $3.5 million both at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Long‐term
investments consist of U.S. Treasury Strips purchased in 2000 for $387,000 and will have a value at maturity, in 2018, of
$1.1 million. These investments are restricted to exercise the Pantages Theater purchase option in 2018 or 2028. The
current balance of unamortized discount on long‐term investments is $362,000.
Capital assets
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, are $38,000 more than in 2009. Building improvements and equipment
increased $518,000, and accumulated depreciation increased $481,000. The major projects which constitute the increase
are:
Theater On The Square rehearsal and associated rooms modification for $71,000
Pantages major water damage repairs for $183,000
Installation of new roof at Rialto for $29,000
Pantages carpet replacement for $16,000
Theater On The Square lobby lighting system upgrade for $64,000
Rialto lighting fixtures upgrade for $21,000
Pantages, Rialto, Theater On the Square HVAC system upgrade for $131,000
Other miscellaneous projects for a total of $3,000
Total liabilities
The total liabilities decreased $69,000 from 2009. The $35,000 principal loan repayment by the BCPA was applied to
reduce the Theater Fund’s loan with the General Fund, and to reduce the deferred revenue which was recorded to offset
the transaction recording the receivable from the BCPA.

Year‐to‐Date December
Operating expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the net operating expense decreased $694,000 compared to the year 2009. This is
due to a decrease in payroll, supplies and services in 2010 compared to the charge of $592,000 recorded in 2009 to
recognize the potential non‐payment of the loan.
Non‐operating revenues (expenses)
In 2010, non‐operating revenue increased $151,000 to $50,000 compared to a loss of $100,000 in 2009. This is primarily
due to an increase of $142,000 of interest earnings in the long‐term restricted investments.
Contributions from other funds
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Theaters Fund received $700,000 in General Fund contributions for
management fees and expenses which was the same amount received in 2009.
The Theaters Fund also received transfers totaled $636,000 to pay for the Theaters’ major improvement and replacement
costs of structures and systems. As of December 31, 2010, the Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) Fund contributed $596,000,
and the LTGO Bond Fund contributed $40,000. This compares to $487,000 received in 2009 for capital additions.
Footnotes
1) Investment Fund (Fund 4190–Panta) ‐ Restricted Cash Balances On November 1, 1983, the City and Pantages
Associates, a limited partnership, entered into a Lease and Leaseback transaction for the Pantages Theater. In this
transaction, Pantages Associates was able to remit to its investor’s substantial tax advantages and the City received
payment for tax credits and deductions that are redundant to a tax‐exempt entity. The term of the Lease and Leaseback
is 35 years with the provision for six five‐year extensions. The City has the right to repurchase the Pantages in year 35
or in year 45. The City and Pantages Associates exchange payments each June. The early payments were front loaded
in favor of the City so that a repurchase option could be established and an escrow (fund balance) established to fund
future City payments. Two funds were established to record the purchase lease transactions; Fund 4190 and Fund 4190‐
Panta to account for the exchange of payments and to segregate the funds for the repurchase of the Pantages Theater.

2) BCPA loan for the Pantages Theater remodel In 2005, the City of Tacoma (City) and the Broadway Center for
Performing Arts (BCPA) entered into an agreement for the Pantages Theater remodel. The total cost was estimated to be
approximately $5 million. The City invested $1.3 million in December 2005. The BCPA was to invest the remaining $3.7
million by borrowing $2.5 million from the City and contributing cash of $1.2 million from its capital campaign. The
actual cost of the remodel came in under the original amount of $5.0 million and the unspent funds of $334,000 were
used to pay down the loan. As of December 31, 2010, $557,000 in principal on the loan is still owed, and a request was
approved by Ordinance Number 27859 to authorize a due date extension to December 31, 2011.
