Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Reading International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RDI” and collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries and corporate predecessors, the “Company,” “Reading” and “we,” “us,” or “our”), was founded in 1983 as a Delaware corporation and reincorporated in 1999 in Nevada. Our businesses consist primarily of:

the development, ownership and operation of multiplex cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand and

the development, ownership and operation of retail and commercial real estate in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, including entertainment-themed retail centers (“ETRC”) in Australia and New Zealand and live theatre assets in Manhattan and Chicago in the United States.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures typically required by US GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. There have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005 Annual Report”). The financial information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2006 (the “June Report”), including the information under the heading, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, should be read in conjunction with our 2005 Annual Report which contains the latest audited financial statements and related footnotes.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 have been made. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

Marketable Securities

We have investments in marketable securities primarily in Australia of $628,000 at June 30, 2006. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 our net realized gain on marketable securities was $10,000 and $17,000.

New Accounting and Tax Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on

-4-

Table of Contents

derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As the Interpretation will not affect our financials until the first quarter of 2007, we have not yet evaluated the impact of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Stock-Based Compensation

We have a long-term incentive stock option plan that provides for the grant to eligible employees and non-employee directors incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Nonvoting Common Stock. During the first quarter of 2006, we issued for cash to an employee of the corporation under this stock based compensation plan 12,000 shares and 15,000 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock at exercise prices of $3.80 and $2.76 per share, respectively.

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method as outlined in the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations while disclosing pro-forma net income and pro-forma net income per share as if the fair value method had been applied in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the intrinsic value method, we did not recognize any compensation expense when the exercise price of the stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. We issued all stock option grants with exercise prices equal to, or greater than, the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. No stock compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations through December 31, 2005.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such costs be measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense on a prospective basis for all newly granted options and any modifications or cancellations of previously granted awards. Therefore, prior period consolidated financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based payment awards, modifications to awards, and cancellations of awards, expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining vesting period of awards that had been included in pro-forma disclosures in prior periods. We estimate the valuation of stock based compensation using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula.

When the Company’s tax deduction from an option exercise exceeds the compensation cost resulting from the option, a tax benefit is created. SFAS 123(R) requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows. Had we previously adopted SFAS 123(R), there would have been no impact on our presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows because there were no recognized tax benefits relating to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, there was no impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows because there were also no recognized tax benefits during this period.

SFAS No. 123(R) requires Companies to estimate forfeitures. Based on our historical experience and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we do not currently estimate any forfeitures of vested or unvested options that would result in a cumulative adjustment from a change in accounting principle for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

In November 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in this FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the

-5-

Table of Contents

beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool or APIC pool related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), we estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility and the expected life of the options. The dividend yield is excluded from the calculation, as it is our present intention to retain all earnings. We expense the estimated grant date fair values of options issued on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

There were 20,000 options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2005. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, we used the intrinsic value method and did not recognize any compensation expense when the exercise price of the stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. For the 20,000 options granted, we estimated the fair value of these options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	2005
Stock option exercise price	$ 8.10
Risk-free interest rate	4.22%
Expected dividend yield	--
Expected option life	5.97 yrs
Expected volatility	34.70%
Weighted average fair value	$ 4.33

Using the above assumptions and in accordance with the SFAS No. 123(R) modified prospective method, we recorded $25,000 and $45,000 in compensation expense for the total estimated grant date fair value of stock options that vested for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2006, total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted was $139,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 1.85 years. The total realized value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $131,000. We recorded cash received from stock options exercised of $87,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding at June 30, 2006 was $1.6 million (including $1.5 million of intrinsic value for those options that are currently exercisable). The total fair value of the stock options that are vesting this year, but have not yet reached their vesting date, is $80,000 as of June 30, 2006.

All stock options granted have a contractual life of 10 years at the grant date. The aggregate total number of shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock authorized for issuance under the our 1999 Stock Option Plan is 1,350,000. At the time that options are exercised, at the discretion of management, we will either issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the employee or board member. Dependent on the grant letter to the employee or board member, the required service period for option vesting is between zero and four years.

We had the following stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

The weighted average remaining contractual life of all options outstanding at June 30, 2006 and 2005 were approximately 4.10 and 2.20 years, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the exercisable options outstanding at June 30, 2006 and 2005 were approximately 3.85 and 2.01 years, respectively.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income per common share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 as if we had consistently measured the compensation cost for stock option programs under the fair value method adopted on January 1, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ending June 30, 2005		Six Months Ending June 30, 2005
Net income, as reported	$	10,500	$	8,097

Note 3 - Business Segments

Our operations are organized into two reportable business segments within the meaning of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Our reportable segments are (1) cinema exhibition and (2) real estate. The cinema segment is engaged in the development, ownership and operation of multiplex cinemas. The real estate segment is engaged in the development, ownership and operation of commercial properties, including ETRC’s in Australia and New Zealand and live theatres in the United States. Historically, our development projects have included a cinema component. Incident to our real estate operations we have acquired, and continue to hold, raw land in urban and suburban centers in Australia and New Zealand.

The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our principal business segments for the three (“2006 Quarter”) and six (“2006 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2006 and the three (“2005 Quarter”) and six (“2005 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Operating expenses include costs associated with the day-to-day operations of the cinemas and live theatres and the management of rental properties.

Note 4 - Operation in Foreign Currency

We have significant assets in Australia and New Zealand. To the extent possible, we conduct our Australian and New Zealand operations on a self-funding basis. The carrying value of our Australian and New Zealand assets fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rates between the US dollar and the functional currency of Australia (Australian dollar) and New Zealand (New Zealand dollar). We have no derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposure.

Presented in the table below are the currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

	US Dollar
	June 30, 2006		December 31, 2005
Australian Dollar	$	0.7423	$	0.7342
New Zealand Dollar	$	0.6105	$	0.6845

Note 5 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued. Stock options give rise to potentially dilutive common shares.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded losses from continuing operations. As such, the incremental shares of 204,055 and 632,159 in 2006 and 2005, respectively, from stock options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because they were anti-dilutive in those periods.

Note 6 - Property Under Development and Property and Equipment

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we owned property under development summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

For the period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recorded $705,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, of capitalized interest related to our properties under development.

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we owned investments in property and equipment as follows (dollars in thousands):

We treat our ownership of Rialto Cinemas on a cost basis. As such, for Rialto Cinemas, we did not receive any distributions from the joint venture; therefore, we did not record any earnings for the three months or six months ending June 30, 2006.

205-209 East 57^th Street Associates, LLC

During the June 2006 Quarter, this joint venture, that has been developing a residential condominium complex in midtown Manhattan called Place 57, closed on the sale of 11 condominiums resulting in gross sales of $15.8 million and equity earnings from unconsolidated entities to us of $918,000.

Malulani Investments, Ltd.

On June 26, 2006, we acquired for $1.8 million, an 18.4% interest in a private real estate company with holdings principally in California, Texas and Hawaii including the Guenoc Winery located on approximately 22,000 acres of land located in Napa and Lake Counties in Northern California.

Berkeley Cinemas

On May 23, 2006, our Joint Venture Partner exercised his option to offer to acquire our interest in the remaining Berkeley Joint Venture cinemas, at an aggregate purchase price of $7.3 million (NZ$11.9 million). The exercise of this option has triggered our right to buy out our Joint Venture Partner at the same price. See Note 20 - Subsequent Events.

Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Subsequent to January 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we do not amortize goodwill. Instead, we perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter unless changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had goodwill consisting of the following (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2006		December 31, 2005
Segments
Cinema	$	12,126	$	9,489
Real estate		5,090		5,164
Total	$	17,216	$	14,653

The increase in goodwill in the cinema segment of $2.5 million was related to the purchase of the Queenstown and Palms Cinemas (see Note 18 - Acquisitions). We are in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation for these acquisitions, in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations. Estimates included herein are subject to adjustment when the analysis is completed.

We have intangible assets other than goodwill that are subject to amortization and are being amortized over various periods. We amortize our beneficial lease over 20 years and our option fee and other intangible assets over 10 years. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, amortization expense totaled $218,000 and $306,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the amortization expense totaled $414,000 and $611,000, respectively.

During the first six months of 2006, we drew down $5.7 million (AUS$7.6 million) to purchase the Palms - Christchurch Cinema (see Note 18 - Acquisitions), payoff the Palms - Christchurch Cinema bank debt of $2.0 million (NZ$3.1 million), and make other capital improvements to our existing cinema sites. Additionally, we drew down $2.3 million (AUS$3.1 million) on our Newmarket Construction Loan used to finance the completion of our Newmarket Shopping Centre development in Brisbane, Australia. As prescribed by the credit agreement, our Newmarket Construction Loan was combined with our Australian Corporate Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2006 in conjunction with the completion of the Newmarket project. The combined total borrowing limit of the new Australian Corporate Credit Facility is $74.0 million (AUS$99.6 million) which includes the first principal payment on the facility of $280,000 (AUS$377,500) on June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, we had drawn a total of $62.5 million (AUS$84.2 million) against this facility and issued guarantees of $3.0 million (AUS$4.0 million) leaving an available, undrawn balance of $8.5 million (AUS$11.4 million).

On February 27, 2006, we paid off the balance of our New Zealand Movieland Note Payable that we had issued in August 2004 in connection with the purchase of our Movieland Circuit. The balance of this purchase money promissory note was paid in full in the amount of $520,000 (NZ$784,000) plus $14,000 (NZ$22,000) of accrued interest.

As part of the purchase of the real property underlying our lease hold interest in the Cinemas 1, 2, & 3 we have agreed to grant an option to Sutton Hill Capital, LLC, a limited liability company beneficially owned in equal 50/50 shares by Messrs. James J. Cotter and Michael Forman to acquire, at cost, up to a 25% non-managing membership interest in the limited liability company that we formed to acquire these interests. In June 2006, Sutton Hill Capital, LLC gave us $3.0 million as a deposit on this option. We recorded this cash receipt as an option deposit and we anticipate the remaining balance of the investment to be paid during the third quarter of 2006. In relation to this option, we had previously recorded a $1.0 million call option liability in other liabilities and a corresponding increase in purchase price for the land at December 31, 2005. We have adjusted our purchase price allocation relating to the completed valuation of the option as of September 19, 2005 and have recorded an additional $1.1 million as land acquisition costs and option liability. Any change in the option value subsequent to the issuance date is recorded as other income or expense in the statement of

operations. As part of our quarterly valuation procedures, management with the assistance of our real estate appraisers updated the valuation of these property interests in Cinemas 1, 2, & 3. The value of the option at June 30, 2006 increased to $3.5 million, resulting in a charge for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 of $275,000 and $1.4 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2006, the Motion Picture Projectionists, Video Technicians and Allied Crafts Union asserted that due to the Company’s reduced reliance on union labor in New York City, there was a partial withdrawal from the union pension plan by the Company in 2003 resulting in a funding liability on the part of the Company of approximately $342,000. We believe that the estimated amount of our obligation to the Union for their pension plan is in question and disputable. For this reason, we intend to discuss further the matter with the Union. However, to reflect the Union’s asserted assessment at this time, we have recorded the $342,000 liability in our other liabilities as of June 30, 2006.

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies

Except for what is noted below regarding Tax/Audit Litigation, there have been no material changes to our litigation exposure since our Company’s 2005 Annual Report.

Tax Audit/Litigation

The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) completed its audits of the tax return of Reading Entertainment Inc. (RDGE) for its tax years ended December 31, 1996 through December 31, 1999 and the tax return of Craig Corporation (CRG) for its tax year ended June 30, 1997. With respect to both of these companies, the principal focus of these audits was the treatment of the contribution by RDGE to our wholly owned subsidiary, Reading Australia, and thereafter the subsequent repurchase by Stater Bros. Inc. from Reading Australia of certain preferred stock in Stater Bros. Inc. (the “Stater Stock”) received by RDGE from CRG as a part of a private placement of securities by RDGE which closed in October 1996. A second issue involving equipment leasing transactions entered into by RDGE (discussed below) is also involved.

By letters dated November 9, 2001, the IRS issued reports of examination proposing changes to the tax returns of RDGE and CRG for the years in question (the “Examination Reports”). The Examination Report for each of RDGE and CRG proposed that the gains on the disposition by RDGE of Stater Stock, reported as taxable on the RDGE return, should be allocated to CRG. As reported, the gain resulted in no additional tax to RDGE inasmuch as the gain was entirely offset by a net operating loss carry forward of RDGE. This proposed change would result in an additional tax liability for CRG of approximately $20.9 million plus interest of approximately $11.0 million as of June 30, 2006. In addition, this proposal would result in California tax liability of approximately $5.3 million plus interest of approximately $3.0 million as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, this proposed change represented, as at June 30, 2006, an exposure of approximately $40.2 million.

Moreover, California has “amnesty” provisions imposing additional liability on taxpayers who are determined to have materially underreported their taxable income. While these provisions have been criticized by a number of corporate taxpayers to the extent that they apply to tax liabilities that are being contested in good faith, no assurances can be given that these new provisions will be applied in a manner that would mitigate the impact on such taxpayers. Accordingly, these provisions may cause an additional $4.0 million exposure to CRG, for a total exposure of approximately $44.2 million.

-15-

Table of Contents

IRS noted that it had offered to settle its claims against us at 30% of the proposed change, and reiterated this offer at the mediation. This offer constituted, in effect, an offer to settle for a payment of $5.5 million federal tax, plus interest, for an aggregate settlement amount of approximately $8.0 million. Based on advice of counsel given after reviewing the materials submitted by the IRS to the mediation panel, and the oral presentation made by the IRS to the mediation panel and the comments of the mediators (including the IRS mediator), we determined not to accept this offer.

Notices of deficiency (“N/D”) dated June 29, 2006 were received with respect to each of RDGE and CRG determining proposed deficiencies of $20.9 million for CRG and a total of $349,000 for RDGE for the tax years 1997, 1998 and 1999.

We intend to litigate aggressively these matters in the U.S. Tax Court by filing Petitions with the court on or before September 27, 2006 (the last day for filing). While there are always risks in litigation, we believe that a settlement at the level currently offered by the IRS would substantially understate the strength of our position and the likelihood that we would prevail in a trial of these matters.

Since these tax liabilities relate to time periods prior to the Consolidation of CDL, RDGE, and CRG into Reading International, Inc. and since RDGE and CRG continue to exist as wholly owned subsidiaries of RII, it is expected that any adverse determination would be limited in recourse to the assets of RDGE or CRG, as the case may be, and not to the general assets of RII. At the present time, the assets of these subsidiaries are comprised principally of RII securities. Accordingly, we do not anticipate, even if there were to be an adverse judgment in favor of the IRS that the satisfaction of that judgment would interfere with the internal operation or result in any levy upon or loss of any of our material operating assets. The satisfaction of any such adverse judgment would, however, result in a material dilution to existing stockholder interests.

The N/D issued to RDGE does not cover its tax year 1996 which will be held in abeyance pending the resolution of the CRG case. An adjustment to 1996 taxable income for RDGE would result in a refund of alternative minimum tax paid that year. The N/D issued to RDGE eliminated the gains booked by RDGE in 1996 as a consequence of its acquisition certain computer equipment and sale of the anticipated income stream from the lease of such equipment to third parties and disallowed depreciation deductions that we took with respect to that equipment in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Such disallowance has the effect of decreasing net operating losses but did not result in any additional regular federal income tax for such years. However, the depreciation disallowance would increase RDGE state tax liability for those years by approximately $170,000 plus interest. The only tax liability reflected in the RDGE N/D is alternative minimum tax in the total amount of approximately $350,000 plus interest. The Tax Court petition we intend to file with respect to RDGE will appeal the determinations relating to the leasing transactions.

Note 14 - Minority Interest

Minority interest is composed of the following enterprises:

50% of membership interest in Angelika Film Center LLC (“AFC LLC”) by a subsidiary of National Auto Credit, Inc.;

33% minority interest in the Elsternwick Joint Venture by Champion Pictures Pty Ltd.; and

25% minority interest in Australia Country Cinemas Pty Ltd (“ACC”) by Panorama Cinemas for the 21^st Century Pty Ltd.

Note 15 - Common Stock

During the first quarter of 2006, we issued for cash to an employee of the corporation under our stock based compensation plan 12,000 shares and 15,000 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock at exercise prices of $3.80 and $2.76 per share, respectively.

On February 27, 2006, we paid $792,000 (NZ$1.2 million) to the sellers of the Movieland Circuit in exchange for 98,949 Class A Common Nonvoting Common Stock. This transaction resulted from the exercise of their option to put back to us at an exercise price of NZ$11.94 the shares they received as part of the purchase price of the Movieland Circuit.

Note 16 - Comprehensive Income

U.S. GAAP requires that the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and/or losses on securities that are available-for-sale (“AFS”) be classified as comprehensive income.

Note 18 - Acquisitions

Malulani Investments, Ltd.

On June 26, 2006, we acquired for $1.8 million, an 18.4% interest in a private real estate company with holdings principally in California, Texas and Hawaii including, the Guenoc Winery located on approximately 22,000 acres of land located in Napa and Lake Counties in Northern California. We are still in the process of determining the purchase price allocation of the assets and liabilities associated with this acquisition.

Berkeley Cinemas

Additionally, effective April 1, 2006, we purchased the 50% share that we did not already own of the Palms joint venture cinema located in Christchurch, New Zealand for cash of $2.8 million (NZ$4.5 million) and the proportionate share of assumed debt which amounted to $993,000 (NZ$1.6 million). This 8-screen, leasehold cinema had previously been included in our Berkeley Cinemas Joint Venture investment and was not previously consolidated for accounting purposes. We drew down $4.8 million (AUS$6.3 million) on our Australian Corporate Credit Facility to purchase the Palms cinema and to payoff its bank debt of $2.0 million (NZ$3.1 million). We are in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation for this acquisition, in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations. Estimates included herein are subject to adjustment when the analysis is completed. A summary of the increased assets and liabilities relating to this acquisition is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 20 - Subsequent Events

Berkeley Cinemas

On May 23, 2006, our Joint Venture Partner exercised his option to offer to acquire our interest in the remaining Berkeley Joint Venture cinemas, at an aggregate purchase price of $7.3 million (NZ$11.9 million) plus the assumption of debt of $3.0 million (NZ$5.0 million). The exercise of this option has triggered our right to buy out our Joint Venture Partner at the same price. On July 27, 2006, we gave notice to our Joint Venture Partner that we do not intend to exercise our right to acquire the cinemas at Whangaparaoa, Takapuna and Mission Bay, and accordingly, we currently anticipate that we will sell our interest in those cinemas to our Joint Venture Partner for $4.4 million (NZ$7.2 million) in cash and the assumption of $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) in debt. We are currently still considering whether to exercise our right to acquire our Joint Venture partner’s interest in the Botany Downs cinema. If we exercise that right, the cost to acquire the 50% interest that we do not already own in that cinema would be $2.9 million (NZ$4.7 million) plus the assumption of debt estimated to be approximately $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) as of the closing date.

Moonee Ponds

On June 21, 2006, we signed an agreement to purchase two tracks of land of 0.4 acres adjacent to our Moonee Ponds property for $2.4 million (AUS$3.3 million). As a partial fulfillment of this contract, on July 7, 2006, we made a $245,000 (AUS$330,000) deposit for these properties and we anticipate closing on these sales during the month of September 2006.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As Reading International, Inc. (RDI and collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries, “Reading” and “we,” “us” or “our”), we have historically considered ourselves to be essentially a cinema exhibition and live theatre operating company with a strong focus on the development, operation and holding of commercial real estate assets. We believe that this strategic mix coupled with our management expertise allows us to bring value to developable land by providing our own “anchor tenant” and to realize the value in older cinema sites by developing them, on an opportunistic basis, to their highest and best use. This strategy has allowed us to use our available free cash flow to build assets, while freeing us, to some extent, from the volatility that can result from a focus on simply operating cinema assets in leased facilities. Given relative opportunities for cinema expansion and for real estate development, we believe it likely that we will, as time progresses, become more and more a real estate company and less and less a cinema and live theatre operating company.

On February 20, 2006, our efforts to rezone our 50.6 acre parcel in suburban Melbourne, Australia, were rewarded, as our Burwood property was rezoned clearing the way for us to redevelop that historically industrial use property into a mixture of retail, commercial, entertainment and residential uses. Our cost basis in our Burwood property is $21.1 million (AUS$28.4 million).

It is anticipated that the complete build out of our Burwood site will be done in stages over an approximately 10 year period, and require an investment of approximately $500 million (AUS$674 million). Given the size and scope of this project, and our other ongoing projects at Moonee Ponds (also in Melbourne), Redyard (in suburban Sydney) and Courtenay Central (in Wellington, New Zealand), it is likely that an increasing proportion of our capital and human resources will be focused on the real estate segment of our business.

Our business operations currently include:

the development, ownership and operation of multiplex cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand;

the development and operation of cinema-based entertainment-themed retail centers (“ETRC”) in Australia and New Zealand;

the ownership and operation, typically as a landlord, of “Off Broadway” style live theatres in Manhattan and Chicago; and

the development, ownership and operation of commercial real estate in Australia, New Zealand and the United States typically as a business ancillary to the development and operation of cinemas, cinema-based ETRC’s and live theatres; and

the ownership and operation, typically as a landlord, of “Off Broadway” style live theatres in Manhattan and Chicago.

We manage our worldwide cinema business under various different brands:

in the US, under the Reading, Angelika Film Center and City Cinemas brands;

in Australia, under the Reading brand; and

in New Zealand, under the Reading, Berkeley Cinemas and Rialto brands.

During the six months ending June 30, 2006, we owned and operated 35 cinemas with 231 screens, had interests in certain unconsolidated entities that own an additional 10 cinemas with 59 screens and managed 3 cinemas with 14 screens.

-21-

Table of Contents

Our business plan going forward is to build-out our existing development properties, to seek out additional real estate development opportunities while continuing to use our presence in the cinema exhibition and live theatre business, to identify, develop and acquire cinema and live theatre properties. In the case of cinema and live theatre acquisitions, we intend to focus on those opportunities where we can acquire either the fee interest underlying the operating assets, or long term leases, which we believe provide flexibility with respect to the usage of such leasehold assets and to focus on the development of our existing real estate. In the near term, we are focusing principally on the operation of our existing cinema assets and on the development of five parcels of undeveloped real estate in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney in Australia and Wellington in New Zealand while taking advantage of those opportunities that may present themselves from time to time to strategically expand our existing cinema circuits.

During the first six months of 2006, our efforts on the real estate side of our business were focused in large part on:

the rezoning approval by the Victoria State Government of our 50.6 acre Burwood property (located in suburban Melbourne) from an essentially industrial to a priority use zone allowing a mixture of retail, entertainment, commercial and residential uses; and

the completion and lease-up of our 4.1 acre Newmarket Shopping Centre in Brisbane, Australia (100,000 square feet of leased retail space). That property is now approximately 98% leased, including anchor tenancies provided by a major grocery chain and a major pub operator.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in Australia and New Zealand, and as such, we are subject to a certain degree of currency risk. We do not engage in currency hedging activities. Rather, to the extent possible, we operate our Australian and New Zealand operations on a self-funding basis. Our policy in Australia and New Zealand is to match revenues and expenses, whenever possible, in local currencies. As a result, the majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand have been procured in local currencies. Due to the developing nature of our operations in Australia and New Zealand, our revenues are not yet significantly greater than our operating expenses. The resulting natural operating hedge has led to a negligible foreign currency effect on our net earnings. However, foreign currency can have a significant effect on the value of assets and liabilities with fluctuations noted in other comprehensive income. As we continue to progress with our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, we cannot assure you that the foreign currency effect on our earnings will be insignificant in the future.

We continue to acquire, to dispose of or to reposition assets in accordance with our business plan. So far, in 2006, we have made the following acquisitions:

Malulani Investments LLC

As of June 26, 2006, we acquired for $1.8 million, an 18.4% interest in a private real estate company with holdings principally in California, Texas and Hawaii including, the Guenoc Winery located on approximately 22,000 acres of land located in Napa and Lake Counties in Northern California.

Berkeley Cinemas

On May 23, 2006, our Joint Venture Partner exercised his option to acquire our interest in the remaining Berkeley Joint Venture cinemas, at an aggregate purchase price of $7.3 million (NZ$11.9 million) plus the assumption of debt of $3.0 million (NZ$5.0 million). The exercise of this option has triggered our right to buy out our Joint Venture Partner at the same price. On July 27, 2006, we gave notice to our Joint Venture Partner that we do not intend to exercise our right to acquire the cinemas at Whangaparaoa, Takapuna and Mission Bay, and accordingly, we currently anticipate that we will sell our interest in those cinemas to our Joint Venture Partner for $4.4 million (NZ$7.2 million) in cash and the assumption of $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) in debt.

We are currently still considering whether to exercise our right to acquire our Joint Venture partner’s interest in the Botany Downs cinema. If we exercise that right, the cost to acquire the 50% interest that we do not already own in that cinema would be $2.9 million (NZ$4.7 million) plus the assumption of debt estimated to be approximately $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) as of the closing date.

Queenstown Cinema.

Effective February 23, 2006, we purchased a 3-screen leasehold cinema in Queenstown, New Zealand for $939,000 (NZ$1.4 million), representing the only screens in this market.

Results of Operations

At June 30, 2006, we directly operated 35 cinemas with 231 screens, had interests in certain unconsolidated entities in which we have varying interests, which own an additional 10 cinemas with 59 screens and managed 3 cinemas with 14 screens. Regarding real estate, we owned and operated during the period four ETRC’s that we developed in Australia and New Zealand; owned the fee interests in four developed commercial properties in Manhattan and Chicago, all of which are improved with live theatres comprising seven stages and, in two cases, ancillary retail and commercial space; owned the fee interests underlying one of our Manhattan cinemas and hold for development an additional five parcels (aggregating approximately 58 acres) in urbanized areas of Australia and New Zealand. Two of these parcels, Burwood and Moonee Ponds, comprise approximately 54 acres, and are in areas designated by the provincial government of Victoria, Australia as “major activity centres,” and we are currently in the planning phases of their development.

the sale effective June 8, 2005 of our Puerto Rican cinema operations;

the sale effective May 17, 2005 of our Glendale, California office building, our only commercial domestic property with no entertainment component;

the acquisition on June 1, 2005 and September 19, 2005 of the various real property interests underlying our leasehold interest in our Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 cinema;

the opening in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the occupancy of the majority of tenancies during first quarter of 2006 of our Newmarket Shopping Center, a 100,000 square foot retail center in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia;

the opening of a cinema in a suburb of Adelaide, Australia on October 20, 2005 and the acquisition of a cinema in Queenstown, New Zealand effective February 23, 2006;

Cinema revenue increased for the 2006 Quarter by $3.0 million or 14.2% compared to the same period in 2005. The 2006 Quarter increase was from improved results in our Australia and New Zealand operations of $2.4 million primarily related to increased admissions and a commensurate increase in concessions and other revenues.

Operating expense increased for the 2006 Quarter by $1.5 million or 8.8% compared to the same period in 2005. This increase followed the aforementioned increase in revenues. Overall, our operating expenses for three months year-to-year were consistent at approximately 80% of gross revenue for both 2006 and 2005.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the 2006 Quarter by $254,000 or 12.6% compared to the same period in 2005 primarily related to the increase in depreciation in the new Australian Elizabeth Cinema acquired in October 2005 offset by the decrease in the Sutton Hill Capital Option Fee amortization expense directly related to the purchase of the Cinemas 1, 2, & 3 in Sep 2005.

General and administrative expense decreased for the 2006 Quarter by $1.3 million or 70.3% compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a drop in legal costs primarily related to our anti-trust litigation associated with our Village East cinema and the purchase of the Cinemas 1, 2, & 3 which decreased the amount of rent paid to related parties.

This increase is primarily related to the new Australian Elizabeth Cinema acquired in October 2005 offset by the decrease in the Sutton Hill Capital Option Fee amortization expense directly related to the purchase of the Cinemas 1, 2, & 3 in September 2005.

General and administrative expense decreased for the 2006 Six Months by $1.6 million or 51.5% compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was due to a drop in legal costs primarily related to our anti-trust litigation associated with our Village East cinema and the purchase of the Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 which decreased the amount of rent paid to related parties.

As a result of the above, cinema segment income increased for the 2006 Six Months by $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2005.

Real Estate

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, our third-party, rental generating real estate holdings consisted of:

ETRCs at Belmont in Perth; at Auburn in Sydney; and at Newmarket in Brisbane in Australia; and Courtenay Central in Wellington, New Zealand;

three single auditorium live theatres in Manhattan (Minetta Lane, Orpheum, and Union Square) and a four auditorium live theatre complex in Chicago (The Royal George) and, in the case of the Union Square and the Royal George their accompanying ancillary retail and commercial tenants;

the ancillary retail and commercial tenants at some of our non-ETRC cinema locations; and

certain raw land, used in our historic activities.

The following tables detail our real estate segment operating results for the three months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, adjusted to reflect the sale of our Glendale property which was sold during the second quarter of 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Revenue increased for the 2006 Quarter by $137,000 or 3.5% compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily related to an enhanced rental stream from our recently opened Newmarket ETRC in Australia of $472,000 offset by the decrease in rent of $335,000 in our Domestic Live Theatres due to fewer shows during 2006 compared to 2005.

Operating expense for the real estate segment decreased for the 2006 Quarter by $299,000 or 14.5% compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease in expense was primarily related to the significant drop in operating activity in our Domestic Live Theatres.

Depreciation expense for the real estate segment increased by $42,000 or 4.4% for the 2006 Quarter compared to the same period in 2005. The majority of this increase was attributed to the Newmarket shopping center assets in Australia which were put into service during the first quarter 2006.

As a result of the above, real estate segment income increased for the 2006 Quarter by $248,000 compared to the same period in 2005.

Revenue decreased for the 2006 Six Months by $43,000 or 0.6% compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily related to an enhanced rental stream from our recently opened Newmarket ETRC in Australia offset by the decrease in rent of $602,000 in our Domestic Live Theatres.

Operating expense for the real estate segment decreased for the 2006 Six Months by $196,000 or 5.3% compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease in expense was primarily related to the significant drop in operating activity in our Domestic Live Theatres due to fewer shows during 2006 compared to 2005.

Depreciation expense for the real estate segment increased by $156,000 or 8.4% for the 2006 Six Months compared to the same period in 2005. The majority of this increase was attributed to the Newmarket shopping center assets in Australia which were put into service during the first quarter 2006.

As a result of the above, real estate segment income for the 2006 Six Months remained unchanged compared to the same period in 2005.

Corporate

General and administrative expense includes expenses that are not directly attributable to other operating segments. General and administrative expense increased by $51,000 in the 2006 Quarter when compared to the 2005 Quarter and by $167,000 in the 2006 Six Months when compared to the 2005 Six Months.

Net interest expense increased by $803,000 and $1.7 million for the 2006 Quarter and the 2006 Six Months compared to last year primarily related to a higher outstanding loan balance in Australia and due to the effective completion of construction of our Newmarket Shopping Centre in early 2006 which decreased the amount of interest being capitalized. This interest increase was offset by a decrease in interest expense related to the mark-to-market adjustment of our interest rate swaps compared to the adjustment for the same period in 2005.

During the 2006 Six Months, other expense increased by $1.4 million primarily due to a $1.3 million mark-to-market charge relating to an option liability to the Sutton Hill Capital LLC to acquire a 25% non-managing membership interest in our Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 property.

A $13.6 million gain on the sale of discontinued operations and the corresponding $1.4 million loss from discontinued operations from the combination of our Puerto Rico operations and Glendale property was recognized in 2005 and not repeated in 2006.

Table of Contents

Equity earnings of unconsolidated entities increased by approximately $1.0 and $1.1 million for the 2006 Quarter and the 2006 Six Months compared to last year. The increase was primarily related to the 205-209 East 57^th Street Associates, LLC, that has been developing a residential condominium complex in midtown Manhattan called Place 57, closing on the sale of 11 condominiums resulting in gross sales of $15.8 million and equity earnings from unconsolidated entities to us of $918,000.

Consolidated Net Losses

During 2006, we recorded a net losses of $234,000 and $3.4 million for the 2006 Quarter and 2006 Six Months, respectively. During 2005, we recorded a net earnings of $10.5 million and $8.1 million for the 2005 Quarter and 2005 Six Months, respectively. This overall shift from earnings to losses is primarily due to the aforementioned sale of our Glendale property and Puerto Rico operations.

Acquisitions

Malulani Investments, Ltd.

Berkeley Cinemas

On May 23, 2006, our Joint Venture Partner exercised his option to offer to acquire our interest in the remaining Berkeley Joint Venture cinemas, at an aggregate purchase price of $7.3 million (NZ$11.9 million) plus the assumption of debt of $3.0 million (NZ$5.0 million). The exercise of this option has triggered our right to buy out our Joint Venture Partner at the same price. On July 27, 2006, we gave notice to our Joint Venture Partner that we do not intend to exercise our right to acquire the cinemas at Whangaparaoa, Takapuna and Mission Bay, and accordingly, we currently anticipate that we will sell our interest in those cinemas to our Joint Venture Partner for $4.4 million (NZ$7.2 million) in cash and the assumption of $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) in debt. We are currently considering whether to exercise our right to acquire our Joint Venture partner’s interest in the Botany Downs cinema. If we exercise that right, the cost to acquire the 50% interest that we do not already own in that cinema would be $2.9 million (NZ$4.7 million) plus the assumption of debt estimated to be approximately $1.5 million (NZ$2.5 million) as of the closing date.

Queenstown Cinema Purchase

Effective February 23, 2006, we purchased a 3-screen leasehold cinema in Queenstown, New Zealand for $939,000 (NZ$1.4 million). We funded this acquisition through internal sources.

Dispositions

We did not have any dispositions of properties or businesses during the six months ending 2006.

Business Plan, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Business Plan

Our cinema exhibition business plan is to continue to identify, develop and acquire cinema properties, focusing, where reasonably available, on those opportunities where we can acquire either the fee interest underlying such operating assets, or long-term leases, which provide flexibility with respect to the usage of such leasehold estates. Our real estate business plan is to continue to develop our existing land assets, focusing principally on uses that incorporate entertainment elements such as cinemas, and to continue to be sensitive to opportunities to convert our entertainment assets to higher and better uses - such as the ongoing redevelopment of our Sutton Cinema property into residential and retail condominium units.

We are currently concentrating our acquisitions and development activities primarily in Australia and New Zealand, as we believe that there are currently better opportunities in these markets than domestically. We continue to close under-performing cinema assets, or to sell or put to other purposes those cinema assets that have value as real estate significantly in excess of their value as cinemas.

Contractual Obligations

The following table provides information with respect to the maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our secured debt and lease obligations at June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

Estimated interest on long-term debt is based on the anticipated loan balances for future periods calculated against current fixed and variable interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities in order to meet our obligations and commitments drives our liquidity position. This is further affected by our ability to obtain adequate, reasonable financing and/or to convert non-performing or non-strategic assets into cash. We cannot separate liquidity from capital resources in achieving our long-term goals in order to meet our debt servicing requirements.

Currently, our liquidity needs arise mainly from:

·	working capital requirements;

·	debt servicing requirements; and

·	capital expenditures, centered on obtaining the right financing for the development of our Burwood property.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations was $1.7 million in the 2006 Six Months compared to $897,000 used in operations for the 2005 Six Months. The change in cash provided by operations of $2.6 million is due primarily to an increase in cash provided by our operations in the 2006 Six Months compared to the 2005 Six Months, primarily from increased cinema operational cash flow from our Australia operations and improved cash flow from our U.S. cinemas as a result of the sale of our Puerto Rico operations in June 2005.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the 2006 Six Months decreased by $3.9 million from $14.0 million to $10.2 million compared to the same period in 2005. The $10.2 million cash used for the 2006 Six Months was primarily related to:

·	$939,000 in cash used to purchase the Queenstown Cinema in New Zealand;

·	$2.8 million in cash used to purchase the 50% share that we did not already own of the Palms joint venture cinema located in Christchurch, New Zealand;

·	$4.6 million in cash used to complete the Newmarket property and for property enhancements to our Australia, New Zealand and U.S. properties; and

·	$1.8 million paid for Malulani Investments, Ltd. stock.

The $14.0 million cash used for the 2005 Six Months was primarily related to:

·	$13.5 million in purchases of property and equipment for the most part related to the construction work on our Newmarket development in Brisbane, Australia;

·	$963,000 increase in our investment in the 205-209 East 57^th Street Associates, LLC;

·	$1.0 million in purchases of property and equipment mainly in New Zealand;

·	$700,000 deposit paid to secure a contract to acquire a 50% interest in an unincorporated joint venture that owns 20 screens; and

·	$11.5 million paid for the acquisition of the fee interest in the Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 property in New York City.

offset by

·	$12.6 million in net proceeds from the sales of our Glendale office building and Puerto Rico operations; and

·	$833,000 decrease in restricted cash.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the 2006 Six Months decreased by $9.0 million from $14.9 million to $5.9 million compared to the same period in 2005. The $5.9 million in cash provided in the 2006 Six Months was primarily related to:

·	$8.0 million of new borrowings on our Australian Corporate Credit Facility;

·	$3.0 million of a deposit paid by Sutton Hill Capital, LLC of the option to purchase a 25% non-managing membership interest in the limited liability company that owns the Cinemas 1, 2 & 3;

$2.9 million of cash used to pay down long-term debt which was primarily related to the final payoff of the Movieland purchase note payable of approximately $512,000; the payoff of the Palms - Christchurch Cinema bank debt of approximately $1.9 million; and we made the first principal payment on our Australian Corporate Credit Facility of $280,000;

$792,000 of cash used to repurchase the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock (these shares were previously issued to the Movieland sellers who exercised their put option during the 2006 Six Months to sell back to us the shares they had received in partial consideration for the sale of the Movieland cinemas); and

·	$1.5 million in distributions to minority interests.

Cash provided by financing activities was $14.9 million for the first six months of 2005 and was attributable to our increase in borrowings of approximately $15.3 million primarily used to finance the 2005 construction work on our Newmarket development in Brisbane, Australia.

Summary

Our cash position at June 30, 2006 was $6.1 million compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2005. The majority of the $2.4 million change related to the following transactions:

·	$1.7 million net cash provided by operating activities;

·	$8.0 million of new borrowings on our Australian Corporate Credit Facility; and

·	$3.0 million of a deposit paid by Sutton Hill Capital, LLC of the option to purchase a 25% non-managing membership interest in the limited liability company that owns the Cinemas 1, 2, & 3;

·	$1.8 million paid for Malulani Investments, Ltd. stock; and

·	$1.5 million in distributions to minority interests.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and the most demanding in their calls on judgment. Although accounting for our core business of

-34-

Table of Contents

cinema and live theatre exhibition with a real estate focus is relatively straightforward, we believe our most critical accounting policies relate to:

·	impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets;

·	tax valuation allowance and obligations; and

·	legal and environmental obligations.

These critical accounting policies are fully discussed in our 2005 Annual Report and you are advised to refer to that discussion.

Financial Risk Management

Our internally developed risk management procedure, seeks to minimize the potentially negative effects of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates on the results of operations. Our primary exposure to fluctuations in the financial markets is currently due to changes in foreign exchange rates between U.S and Australia and New Zealand, and interest rates.

As our operational focus continues to shift to Australia and New Zealand, unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses could materially affect our financial position. We currently manage our currency exposure by creating natural hedges in Australia and New Zealand. This involves local country sourcing of goods and services as well as borrowing in local currencies.

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises out of our long-term debt obligations. Consistent with our internally developed guidelines, we seek to reduce the negative effects of changes in interest rates by changing the character of the interest rate on our long-term debt, converting a variable rate into a fixed rate. Our internal procedures allow us to enter into derivative contracts on certain borrowing transactions to achieve this goal. Our Australian credit facilities provide for floating interest rates but require that not less than a certain percentage of the loans be swapped into fixed rate obligations using the derivative contracts.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, we marked our Australian interest swap instruments to market on the consolidated balance sheet resulting in an $442,000 (AUS$621,000) and $553,000 (AUS$755,000) decrease to interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and a $492,000 (AUS$640,000) and $21,000 (AUS$27,000) increase to interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we have recorded the fair market value of our interest rate swaps of $86,000 (AUS$115,000) and $638,000 (AUS$870,000), respectively, as an other long-term liability. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, we have not designated any of our current interest rate swap positions as financial reporting hedges.

Inflation

We continually monitor inflation and the effects of changing prices. Inflation increases the cost of goods and services used. Competitive conditions in many of our markets restrict our ability to recover fully the higher costs of acquired goods and services through price increases. We attempt to mitigate the impact of inflation by implementing continuous process improvement solutions to enhance productivity and efficiency and, as a result, lower costs and operating expenses. In our opinion, the effects of inflation have been managed appropriately and as a result, have not had a material impact on our operations and the resulting financial position or liquidity.

Litigation

We are currently, and are from time to time, involved with claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. Some examples of the types of claims are:

·	contractual obligations;

·	insurance claims;

·	IRS claims;

·	employment matters; and

·	anti-trust issues.

Where we are the plaintiffs, we expense all legal fees on an on-going basis and make no provision for any potential settlement amounts until received. In Australia, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its attorneys fees, which typically works out to be approximately 60% of the amounts actually spent where first class legal counsel is engaged at customary rates. Where we are a plaintiff, we have likewise made no provision for the liability for the defendant’s attorneys' fees in the event we were determined not to be the prevailing party.

Where we are the defendants, we accrue for probable damages, which may not be covered by insurance, as they become known and can be reasonably estimated. In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity. However, we do not give any assurance as to the ultimate outcome of such claims and litigation. The resolution of such claims and litigation could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. There have been no material changes to our litigation exposure since our Company’s 2005 Annual Report.

Except for what is noted below regarding Tax/Audit Litigation, there have been no material changes to our litigation exposure since our Company’s 2005 Annual Report.

Tax Audit/Litigation

By letters dated November 9, 2001, the IRS issued reports of examination proposing changes to the tax returns of RDGE and CRG for the years in question (the “Examination Reports”). The Examination Report for each of RDGE and CRG proposed that the gains on the disposition by RDGE of Stater Stock, reported as taxable on the RDGE return, should be allocated to CRG. As reported, the gain resulted in no additional tax to RDGE inasmuch as the gain was entirely offset by a net operating loss carry forward of RDGE. This proposed change would result in an additional tax liability for CRG of approximately $20.9 million plus interest of approximately $11.0 million as of June 30, 2006. In addition, this proposal would result in California tax liability of approximately $5.3 million plus interest of approximately $3.0 million as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, this proposed change represented, as at the June 30, 2006, an exposure of approximately $40.2 million.

Table of Contents

In early February 2005, we had a mediation conference with the IRS concerning this proposed change. The mediation was conducted by two mediators, one of whom was selected by the taxpayer from the private sector and one of whom was an employee of the IRS. In connection with this mediation, we and the IRS each prepared written submissions to the mediators setting forth our respective cases. In its written submission, the IRS noted that it had offered to settle its claims against us at 30% of the proposed change, and reiterated this offer at the mediation. This offer constituted, in effect, an offer to settle for a payment of $5.5 million federal tax, plus interest, for an aggregate settlement amount of approximately $8.0 million. Based on advice of counsel given after reviewing the materials submitted by the IRS to the mediation panel, and the oral presentation made by the IRS to the mediation panel and the comments of the mediators (including the IRS mediator), we determined not to accept this offer.

Forward-Looking Statements

Our statements in this interim quarterly report contain a variety of forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect only our expectations regarding future events and operating performance and necessarily speak only as of the date the information was prepared. No guarantees can be given that our expectation will in fact be realized, in whole or in part. You can recognize these statements by our use of words such as, by way of example, “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” and “anticipate” or other similar terminology.

These forward-looking statements reflect our expectation after having considered a variety of risks and uncertainties. However, they are necessarily the product of internal discussion and do not necessarily completely reflect the views of individual members of our Board of Directors or of our management team. Individual Board members and individual members of our management team may have different view as to the risks and uncertainties involved, and may have different views as to future events or our operating performance.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements are the following:

With respect to our cinema operations:

The number and attractiveness to movie goers of the films released in future periods;

The amount of money spent by film distributors to promote their motion pictures;

The licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;

The comparative attractiveness of motion pictures as a source of entertainment and willingness and/or ability of consumers (i) to spend their dollars on entertainment and (ii) to spend their entertainment dollars on movies in an outside the home environment; and

The extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema exhibitors, from other sources of outside of the home entertainment, and from inside the home entertainment options, such as “home theaters” and competitive film product distribution technology such as, by way of example, cable, satellite broadcast, DVD and VHS rentals and sales, and so called “movies on demand;”

With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:

The rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;

The extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;

The availability and cost of labor and materials;

Competition for development sites and tenants; and

The extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenant which will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations; and

With respect to our operations generally as an international company involved in both the development and operation of cinemas and the development and operation of real estate; and previously engaged for many years in the railroad business in the United States:

Our ongoing access to borrowed funds and capital and the interest that must be paid on that debt and the returns that must be paid on such capital;

The relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we operate;

-38-

Table of Contents

Changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs resulting from the implementation of the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;

Our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave);

Our exposure from time to time to legal claims and to uninsurable risks such as those related to our historic railroad operations, including potential environmental claims and health related claims relating to alleged exposure to asbestos or other substances now or in the future recognized as being possible causes of cancer or other health related problems;

Changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having jurisdiction over our various companies; and

Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.

The above list is not necessarily exhaustive, as business is by definition unpredictable and risky, and subject to influence by numerous factors outside of our control such as changes in government regulation or policy, competition, interest rates, supply, technological innovation, changes in consumer taste and fancy, weather, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment.

Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, it naturally follows that no guarantees can be given that any of our forward-looking statements will ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results will undoubtedly vary and there is no guarantee as to how our securities will perform either when considered in isolation or when compared to other securities or investment opportunities.

Finally, please understand that we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. Accordingly, you should always note the date to which our forward-looking statements speak.

Additionally, certain of the presentations included in this interim quarterly report may contain “pro forma” information or “non-GAAP financial measures.” In such case, a reconciliation of this information to our GAAP financial statements will be made available in connection with such statements.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that registrants include information about potential effects of changes in currency exchange and interest rates in their filings. Several alternatives, all with some limitations, have been offered. The following discussion is based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. This analysis is constrained by several factors, including the following:

It is based on a single point in time.

It does not include the effects of other complex market reactions that would arise from the changes modeled.

Although the results of such an analysis may be useful as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as forecasts.

At June 30, 2006, approximately 51% and 22% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand), respectively, including approximately $4.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2005, approximately 50% and 23% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand) including approximately $6.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Our policy in Australia and New Zealand is to match revenues and expenses, whenever possible, in local currencies. As a result, a majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand have been procured in local currencies. Due to the developing nature of our operations in Australia and New Zealand, our revenue is not yet significantly greater than our operating expense. The resulting natural operating hedge has led to a somewhat negligible foreign currency effect on our earnings. As we continue to progress our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, we cannot assure you that the foreign currency effect on our earnings will be insignificant in the future.

Our policy is to borrow in local currencies to finance the development and construction of our ETRC’s in Australia and New Zealand whenever possible. As a result, the borrowings in local currencies have provided somewhat of a natural hedge against the foreign currency exchange exposure. Even so, approximately 48% and 22% of our Australian and New Zealand assets, respectively, remain subject to such exposure unless we elect to hedge our foreign currency exchange between the US and Australian and New Zealand dollars. If the foreign currency rates were to fluctuate by 10% the resulting change in Australian and New Zealand assets would be $6.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and the change in our quarterly net income would be $217,000 and $16,000, respectively. At the present time, we have no plan to hedge such exposure.

We record unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses which could materially affect our financial position. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we have recorded a cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $27.6 million and $28.6 million, respectively.

Historically, we maintained most of our cash and cash equivalent balances in short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Some of our money market investments may decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to the short-term nature of such investments, a change of 1% in short-term interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition.

Item 3A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Interest Risk

The majority of our U.S. bank loans have fixed interest rates; however, one of our domestic loans has a variable interest rate and a change of approximately 1% in short-term interest rates would have resulted in an approximately $5,000 increase or decrease in our 2006 Quarter interest expense.

While we have typically used fixed rate financing (secured by first mortgages) in the U.S., fixed rate financing is typically not available to corporate borrowers in Australia and New Zealand. The majority of our Australian and New Zealand bank loans have variable rates. The Australian facilities provide for floating interest rates, but require that not less than a certain percentage of the loans be swapped into fixed rate obligations (see Financial Risk Management above). If we consider the interest rate swaps, a 1% increase in short-term interest rates would have resulted in approximately $76,000 increase in our 2006 Quarter Australian and New Zealand interest expense while a 1% decrease in short-term interest rates would have resulted in approximately $79,000 decrease the 2006 Quarter of Australian and New Zealand interest expense.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
