Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of
IMAX Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of IMAX Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year), Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions, and Schedule of Non-exempt Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005

1.		Description of the Plan
		The following brief description of the IMAX Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. For a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions, participants should refer to the Plan agreement.
		General
		The Plan was established by IMAX Corporation (the “Company”) effective January 1, 1993. The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering all eligible employees of the Company who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code.
		Eligibility
		Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan after completing one year and at least 1,000 hours of service and are twenty-one years of age.
		Contributions
		The Plan allows participants to contribute an amount up to 60% of their annual compensation, not to exceed the ceiling imposed by the Internal Revenue Service of $15,000 for 2006, as prescribed by the Plan Agreement. Participants may contribute to the Plan any portion of lump-sum distributions received from other qualified plans when the contributions qualify as a tax-free rollover. A participant who has attained age 50 before the close of the respective Plan year, is eligible to make unmatched catch-up contributions up to a maximum of $5,000 for 2006. The Company will match 100% of the participants’ contributions, not to exceed 2% of their total compensation. Additionally, employer contributions may be contributed at the discretion of the Company’s management. In March 2007, the Company made discretionary contributions in an amount of $83,420, to the 2006, 2005 and 2004 Plan years ($51,462 for 2006; $17,475 for 2005; $14,483 for 2004). Included in these contributions are $2,347 of earnings representing the return on the contributions for the period between the grant date of the discretionary contributions and the date the contributions were made to the Plan.
		Vesting
		Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the employer contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous service as follows:

		Vesting
Years of Service		Percentage
Less than 1		0%
1		25%
2		50%
3 or more		100%

Participants will be immediately vested upon the occurrence of certain events such as reaching normal retirement age, reaching early retirement age and completing 5 years of vesting service, becoming disabled and upon death.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005

1.		Description of Plan (cont’d)
		Participant accounts
		Separate accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Participants may direct the investment of their contributions in 1% increments in any of several investment fund alternatives, which include mutual funds, a common collective trust and the IMAX stock fund.
		Participants may, in accordance with the rules of the Plan, transfer existing balances among the available investments funds, and/or redirect their current contributions into different funds, daily. A participant may increase or decrease, at any time, the percentage of salary reduction elected, effective the first day of each payroll period. Contributions may be suspended at any time.
		Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s and the Company’s contributions and investment earnings, and charged with investment losses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is equal to the amount of the participant’s vested account balance.
		Participant loans
		Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined annually by the plan administrator. The loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 bear interest rates at 5.00% — 8.25% (5.00% — 7.25% for 2005). Loans may not exceed 5 years and home loans may not exceed 10 years.
		Benefit provisions
		Normal retirement age is 65, at which time participants are entitled to 100% of their account balance. Vested amounts are distributable upon termination, death, undue financial hardship or the termination of the Plan.
		Forfeitures
		Participants not fully vested in employer contributions upon termination of employment forfeit their non-vested balances when they incur a forfeiture break in service. A forfeiture break in service is a period of five consecutive vesting service periods in which a participant completes fewer than a minimum number of hours, as defined by the Plan, in each vesting service period comprising the five-year period. The forfeitures are retained in the Plan and are used to either pay administrative expense or reduce future employer contributions payable under the Plan. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, unallocated forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $12,694 and $11,628, respectively. During 2006 and 2005, $221 and $0 of forfeited unallocated assets were used to reduce employer contributions or pay administrative expenses, respectively.
		Administrative expenses
		Administrative expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan are generally paid for by the Company. Other administrative expenses incurred related to specific transactions requested by participants and are paid for out of the respective participant accounts. The total amount of administrative expenses paid by plan participants as of December 31, 2006 was $ 1,536.
		Plan Termination
		Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become fully vested in their accounts as of the effective date of termination.

2.		Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
		Basis of accounting
		The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
		Use of estimates
		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
		Benefit payments
		Benefits are recorded when paid.
		Investment valuation and income recognition
		Investments are reported at fair value. Investments in the common stock of IMAX Corporation, which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, are valued using the last reported sales price prior to close of the Plan year. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held at the end of the Plan year. Investments in common collective trust funds are valued at fair value as reported in the year-end audited financial statements. Interest-bearing cash includes money market accounts valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
		Loans to participants are valued at cost, plus accrued interest which approximates fair value.
		Investment income of IMAX common stock, the mutual funds, and the common collective trust funds are allocated to participants based on their proportionate share of the net assets of the respective investment fund. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
		As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through a collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment in the collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. The December 31, 2005 statement of net assets has been retroactively adjusted in accordance with the FSP.
		Risk and uncertainty
		Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate and market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

2.		Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)
		New Accounting Pronouncement
		In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, Fair Value Measurements (the “Standard”). The Standard defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. The Standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating what impact the adoption of the Standard will have on the financial statements.
3.		Investments
		On December 31, the following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets at fair value:

		2006				2005
ABN AMRO Income Plus		$	393,898			$	649,798
ABN AMRO S&P 500 Index			—				877,589
Aston Balanced N Fund			423,398				601,057
Aston/ABM AMRO Growth N Fund			1,264,833				1,538,796
Calvert Social Inv Fund EQ			660,297				712,579
Columbia Acorn A Fund			420,741				342,688
Evergreen Special Value A			518,690				427,497
Mutual Discovery R			423,913				319,148
MFS Research International A			1,045,580				782,593
Principal S&P 500 Index			965,512				—

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments, which consists of the realized gains and losses from the sale of investments and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The Plan’s investments appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows:

IMAX common stock			(2,561	)
		$	207,840

December 31, 2006 and 2005

4.		Related Party Transactions
		Effective July 1, 2004, the Plan allowed participants to invest in shares of the IMAX Stock Fund. The Fund normally keeps over 95% of the assets in IMAX common stock with the remaining assets held in a money market fund. As at December 31, 2006, there were 593 (2005 — 1,330) shares outstanding in IMAX common stock. During 2006, 380 (2005 — 1,430) shares of IMAX Common Stock were purchased and 1,117 (2005 — 100) shares were sold.
		Loans to participants as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $72,686 and $39,275, respectively and are also considered party in interest transactions.
5.		Tax Status
		The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a favorable determination letter on October 9, 2003 regarding the qualified and tax-exempt status of the Plan under Section 401 and 501 of the Internal Revenue Code. Subsequent to receipt of the favorable determination letter, the Plan was amended. The plan administrator and the Plans tax counsel are of the opinion that the amendments did not affect the qualified and tax-exempt status of the Plan and, accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes.
		Participants are not subject to federal or state income tax on employer matching contributions and pre-tax participant salary reduction contributions until such contributions are withdrawn or distributed. Participants are also not subject to federal or state income tax on the earnings and appreciation of the assets of the Plan until such amounts are withdrawn or distributed.
6.		Distributions of Excess Participants Contributions
		For purposes of complying with the participation and discrimination rules set forth in Section 401(k)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, certain contributions from “highly compensated” participants were deemed to exceed allowable deferral limits for the year ended December 31, 2004 by $23,797. These excess contributions were refunded during 2005. In 2006, $6,720 of excess contributions occurred and were refunded in 2007.
7.		Non-Exempt Transactions
		The Company was not in compliance with Regulation 2510.3-102 of the Department of Labor regarding the timely remittance of employee contributions withheld in February 2005, April 2005, and August 2005 to the Plan. Regulation 2510.3-102 requires that contributions by employees be remitted to the Trustee as soon as possible but no later than the 15th business day following the end of the month. The Company remitted the employee contributions for February 2005 in March 2005, for April 2005 in May 2005, and for August 2005 in September 2005, and was therefore not in compliance. The Company filed Form 5330 on September 1, 2006. All penalties and interest were paid. Lost earnings of $399 were remitted to the Plan by the Company on July 6, 2006.
		In addition, the Company was not in compliance with Regulation 2510.3-102 of the Department of Labor regarding the timely remittance of discretionary employer contributions relating to the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Plan years. The Company remitted corrections to the discretionary contributions in February of 2007. All penalties and interest were paid. Lost earnings of $2,347 were remitted to the Plan on February 8, 2007.

8.		Unregistered Sale of IMAX Common Stock
		The Plan has offered IMAX common stock to participants as an investment option effective July 1, 2004. The stock was required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to offering to participants. The Company filed a Form S-8 on June 7, 2006 to register the shares to be offered under the Plan. The Plan sponsor may be subject to claims for rescission of acquisitions of shares of the Plan sponsor’s common stock under applicable securities laws during the one year following the date of acquisition of the shares, the statute of limitations period that the Plan sponsor believes may apply to claims for rescission under applicable federal laws. The prospectus mailed to participants included disclosure of this matter. No actions have been taken by participants as of March 31, 2008.
9.		Reconciliation to Schedule H of Form 5500
		Investments are presented in the Company’s financial statements at their fair value. Schedule H of Form 5500 presents investments at contract value. As disclosed in the Company’s Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits, the adjustment from fair value to contract value is $6,341 at December 31, 2006.
