Citadel Holding Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) March 31, 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citadel Holding Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Citadel" or the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In September 2000, the Company acquired Off-Broadway Theatres, Inc. ("OBI"), issuing $10,000,000 of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock to effect the acquisition, and merged OBI into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company also purchased a 1/6th membership interest in the Angelika Film Center LLC ("AFC") and acquired leasehold and management rights to operate eight cinemas (collectively referred to as the "City Cinemas") from Sutton Hill Associates ("SHA") for $4,500,000. The Company accounted for its acquisition of OBI in accordance with the purchase method of accounting, with the operations of OBI included in the Company's operations from the date of acquisition, September 20, 2000. The Company accounts for its interest in AFC using the equity method. The Company accounts for the City Cinemas' leaseholds as a ten year operating sub-lease (see Note 11), with an annual rent of $3,217,500. The Company owns, through its interest in three general partnerships (the "Agricultural Partnerships"), a 40% interest in approximately 1,600 acres of agricultural land and related improvements, located in Kern County, California, commonly known as the Big 4 Ranch. The other two partners in the Agricultural Partnerships are Visalia LLC ("Visalia," a limited liability company owned, directly or indirectly by Mr. James J. Cotter, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, and by certain members of his family) which has a 20% interest, and Big 4 Ranch, Inc., a publicly held corporation, which has the remaining 40% interest. The Company accounts for its 40% investment in the Agricultural Partnerships utilizing the equity method of accounting (see Note 4). In October 1996, the Company contributed cash in the amount of $7,000,000 to Reading Entertainment, Inc. ("REI" and collectively, with its corporate predecessors and consolidated affiliates, "Reading") in exchange for 70,000 shares of REI Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("REI Preferred Stock") and a now expired option to transfer all, or substantially all of its assets, subject to certain limitations, to REI for REI Common Stock. The Company accounts for its investment in REI at cost (see Note 3). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. 5

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information provided herein, including the information under the heading, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read, or have access to, the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which contains the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of December 31, 2000 and for the year then ended. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2001 and at December 31, 2000 are approximately $6,804,000 and $13,528,000, respectively, of funds being held in institutional money market mutual funds. Trade Receivables The Company's accounts receivable is comprised primarily of credit card receivables. Theater ticket sales charged on customer credit cards are collected upon processing of the credit card transactions. The Company has no history of bad debt losses and believes its receivables to be fully collectible. Inventory Inventory is comprised of confection goods used in theater operations and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Available-for-Sale Securities In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the securities holding in Gish Biomedical, Inc. ("Gish") is recorded at its fair value at each reporting date, and is classified as available-for-sale. Accordingly, any unrealized gains/losses, net of tax, are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Intangible Assets The Company's intangible assets consist of (1) $5,142,000 of goodwill arising from the OBI purchase less approximately $143,000 of accumulated amortization, (2) $422,000 of capitalized acquisition costs relating to the OBI less approximately $11,000 in accumulated amortization, and (3) $5,000,000 in option fee and $521,000 in acquisition costs relating to City Cinemas less approximately $306,000 in related accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its capitalized acquisition costs, goodwill and option fee over 10 to 20 years, and amortizes its capitalized leasing costs over the term of the underlying tenant lease. 6

Capitalized Leasing Costs The Company's capitalized leasing costs of $778,000 are reported net of approximately $556,000 of related amortization. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization is generally provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are generally as follows: Building and building improvements 39 years Leasehold improvement Shorter of the life of the lease or useful life Farming equipment 3 - 10 years Theater equipment 5 - 7 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Deferred Financing Costs Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a straight-line basis. The financing costs, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $38,000 and $31,000, were approximately $252,000 and $259,000 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, and were included in "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were 9,947,964 and 6,669,882, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options. Options to purchase 155,000 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2001, at a weighted average exercise price of $2.76 per share (see Note 8). Options to purchase an average of 92,000 and 23,000 shares of the Class A and Class B common stock were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the stock options were not considered dilutive as the exercise price of these options was greater than the market price. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded a net loss and therefore, the effect of these stock options would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were calculated using 9,447,964, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2001. 7

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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2001 financial statement presentation. Note 2 - Rental Property and Property and Equipment The table below sets forth the Company's investment in rental property and property and equipment as of the dates indicated. March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Rental Property Land $ 2,951 $ 2,951 Building and improvements 7,100 7,099 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10,051 10,050 Less accumulated depreciation (1,127) (1,021) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental property, net $ 8,924 $ 9,029 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property and Equipment Land $ 9,464 $ 4,574 Building 7,032 4,170 Leasehold interest 1,322 1,322 Construction-in-progress 737 627 Fixtures and equipment 1,926 212 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20,481 10,905 Less accumulated depreciation (246) (114) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Property and equipment, net $20,235 $10,791 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental Property At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company owned one rental property, an office building located in Glendale, California. This property does not house any of the Company's operations and is not a part of the Company's cinema exhibition or live theater businesses. The building's rental space was subject to long-term leases at each reporting date. Under the existing lease for a majority of the rental space, the Company is obligated to fund certain tenant improvements, amounting to approximately $1,985,000. Through March 31, 2001, approximately $1,567,000 of the Company's commitment had been accrued. 8

Property and Equipment The Company purchased (1) four domestic cinema assets from Reading on March 8, 2001 for $1,706,000, and (2) the fee interest in the Union Square building on February 13, 2001 for $7,751,000. As a result of the series of acquisitions that took place during Fiscal 2000 and 2001, the Company (1) owns four live theaters, (2) has leasehold interests in eight cinemas, and (3) has one cinema that is currently being fitted out. The land, building and leasehold interests acquired were recorded at their fair values and the four domestic cinemas acquired from Reading were recorded at their purchase price which approximated Reading's book value for these assets. Note 3 - Investment in Shareholder Affiliate At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company owned 70,000 shares of REI Preferred Stock. The REI Preferred Stock has (1) a liquidation preference of $100 per share, or $7,000,000 ("Stated Value"), (2) bears a cumulative dividend of 6.5%, payable quarterly, and (3) is convertible into shares of REI Common Stock at a conversion price of $11.50 per share. The closing price of REI common stock on March 31, 2001 was approximately $2.125 per share. REI may, at its option, redeem the REI Preferred Stock at any time after October 15, 2001, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to a percentage of the Stated Value (initially 108%, and decreasing 2% per annum until the percentage equals 100%). The Company has the right for a 90-day period beginning October 15, 2001, or in the event of a change of control of REI, to require REI to repurchase the REI Preferred Stock for an amount equal to its Stated Value plus accumulated dividends. In addition, if REI fails to pay dividends for four consecutive quarters, the Company has the option to require REI to repurchase the REI Preferred Stock at an amount equal to its Stated Value plus accumulated dividends. The Company accounts for its investment in REI at cost, and records as revenue dividends declared by REI on the REI Preferred Stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded as revenue, dividends of $113,750 from its investment in REI Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2001, the Company and Craig Corporation ("Craig"), a shareholder affiliate of the Company, owned securities of REI which afforded them an aggregate 83% voting interest in REI, of which Craig's holdings represented approximately 78% of the voting power of REI and the Company's holdings represented approximately 5% of such voting power. As of March 31, 2001, Reading owns 1,690,938 shares of the Company's Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and 422,734 shares of the Company's Class B Voting Common Stock, or approximately 21% of the Company's outstanding common stock, and Craig owns 876,885 shares of the Company's Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and 230,521 shares of Class B Voting Common Stock, or approximately 11% of the Company's outstanding common stock. 9

Note 4 - Equity Investment and Note Receivable from Agricultural Partnerships The Company has a 40% interest in the Agricultural Partnerships, which own a 1,600-acre citrus farm in California. In addition to its equity investment, the Company has provided a $3,250,000 line-of-credit ("Crop Financing Line") to the Agricultural Partnerships. Drawdowns under the Crop Financing Line, which matured on August 1, 2000, accrue interest at the Prime Rate plus 100 basis points, payable quarterly. The Company has extended the Crop Financing Line on a day-to-day basis pending its full review of its aggregate investments in and commitments to this business. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, Citadel and Visalia have advanced, directly and indirectly through Big 4 Farming LLC ("Farming") an additional $186,000 and $47,000 to the Agricultural Partnerships, respectively. In December 1998, the Agricultural Partnerships suffered a devastating freeze which resulted in a loss of its 1998-1999 crop and, as a result, the Agricultural Partnerships had no funds with which to repay the Crop Financing Line nor the funds necessary to cover its operating expenses. Big 4 Ranch, Inc., a 40% owner spun off by the Company in 1997 to its stockholders, likewise had no funds with which to make further contributions. Accordingly, the Company wrote off its equity investment in the Agricultural Partnerships in 1998, and together with Visalia, have funded the Agricultural Partnerships' expenses by on an 80/20 basis by granting loans, directly or indirectly, from Farming. In addition, the Company has guaranteed the obligations of the Agricultural Partnerships under certain equipment leases, up to $197,000. The Company is currently reviewing the situation, but will likely continue providing the financing required to harvest the 2000-2001 crop so long as Visalia continues to fund its 20% share of such amounts and as long as the Company believes that such funds can be recovered from the proceeds of such crop. The Agricultural Partnerships have stopped all capital improvements to their properties and are limiting cultural expenditure to bring them into alignment with anticipated crop revenues. The Agricultural Partnerships are also reviewing, among other things, the disposition of all or substantially all of their properties. However, it is not currently anticipated that the properties could be sold at any material premium to the debt owed to the holder of the first trust deeds on the properties. Farming, which is owned 80% by the Company and 20% by Visalia, provides farm operation services to the Agricultural Partnerships and is paid 5% of the gross agricultural receipts, less certain expenses and reimbursement of its costs. Farming also has a contract with Cecelia Packing Corporation ("Cecelia"), an entity owned by James J. Cotter, for certain consulting, purchasing and bookkeeping services, for which Cecelia receives a fee of $6,000 per month, plus reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses. Cecelia also packs a portion of the fruit produced by the Agricultural Partnerships. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, Cecilia earned fees of $18,000 which had not yet been paid. Included astride the caption "Due to Citadel and Farming" in the condensed balance sheets of the Agricultural Partnerships which are set forth below, are $680,000 and $745,000 of expenses paid by Farming on behalf of the Agricultural Partnerships at March 31, 2001 and at December 31, 2000, respectively. The Visalia ownership of Farming is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 as "Minority interest", in the amounts of $57,000 and $54,000, respectively. Visalia's portion of Farming's net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2001 amounted to $7,000 and $1,000, respectively, and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Minority interest". At March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had fully reserved for its net investment in and advances to the Agricultural Partnerships of $3,479,000 and $3,406,000, respectively, 10

based upon the historically poor financial performance of the Agricultural Partnerships, the current negative cash flow being generated by the Agricultural Partnerships, the uncertain prospects for the current harvest, and uncertainty about the prospects for the Agricultural Partnerships to generate positive cash flow in the future. The reserve includes the advances under the Crop Financing Line, advances from Farming, and the Company's equity investment in the Agricultural Partnerships, adjusted for the Company's share of losses to date. The tables below set forth condensed financial information for the Agricultural Partnerships for the periods indicated.

Included in the "Loans Payable" above is the Prudential Purchase Money Loan in the amount of $4,050,000. The loan is secured by a lien on the property and certain other assets, has a ten-year maturity and accrues interest, payable quarterly, at a fixed rate of 7.7%. The Agricultural Partnerships have made the capital improvements required by December 31, 2000 of $500,000 but are required to make an additional $200,000 in improvements by December 31, 2001 in order to defer loan payments until January 1, 2002. The purchase money mortgage also imposes a prepayment penalty. As of March 31, 2001, the Agricultural Partnerships have made required capital expenditures for Fiscal 2000 and 2001 totaling approximately $558,000, and consisting primarily of new tree plantings and improvements to the irrigation systems. The general and administrative expenses of $106,000 and $97,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, reflect reimbursement of expenses and fees paid to Big 4 Farming. Note 5 - Notes Payable Mortgage Note Payable On December 14, 1999, the Company entered into an $11,000,000, ten-year loan agreement with an institutional lender. The loan is secured with the deed of trust to a rental property and accrues interest at 8.18% per annum. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Company began making monthly payments of approximately $86,200 per month starting February 2000, and any unpaid principal and accrued interest will become due in January 2010. The loan agreement contains various non-financial covenants regarding the use and maintenance of the property. At March 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with each of the debt covenants and payments were current. Note Payable to Sutton Hill Associates On September 1, 2000, the Company issued a term note in the amount of $4,500,000 bearing 8.25% interest to SHC, an entity owned by Michael Forman and James Cotter in exchange for a 1/6th interest in the AFC and certain rights and interests comprising the City Cinemas cinema chain. The principal plus any unpaid interest is payable in July 2002. Note Payable to Reading On February 13, 2001, the Company purchased four domestic cinemas from its affiliate, Reading, and in exchange, issued a two year promissory note in the amount of $1,706,000 bearing 8.0% interest, payable quarterly in arrears. The principal plus any unpaid interest is payable in March 2003. Note 6 - Taxes on Income - ------------------------ The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2001 amounted to $49,000 and $99,000, respectively, representing a provision for estimated federal and state taxes. 12

Note 7 - Common Stock On April 11, 1997, Craig exercised its warrant to purchase 666,000 shares of the Company's treasury common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, or $1,998,000. Such exercise was consummated pursuant to delivery by Craig of its secured promissory note ("Craig Secured Note") in the amount of $1,998,000, secured by 500,000 shares of REI Common Stock owned by Craig. The Craig Secured Note is included in the Balance Sheet as a contra equity account under the caption "Note receivable from shareholder" at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears at the Prime Rate (amounting to 8.0% at March 31, 2001). Principal and accrued but unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of April 11, 2002 or 120 days following the Company's written demand for payment. Interest income from the Craig secured Note amounted to approximately $43,000 and $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The Craig Secured Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time by Craig without penalty or premium. On January 4, 2000, the Company reorganized under a new Nevada holding company. In that transaction, the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were converted into 5,335,913 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and 1,333,200 shares of Class B Voting Common Stock. On September 20, 2000, the Company issued 2,622,466 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and 655,616 shares of Class B Voting Common Stock, respectively, to acquire OBI. Note 8 - Employee Stock Option Plans Pursuant to the Citadel Holding Corporation 1996 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan effective October 1996 ("1996 Stock Option Plan"), each director of the Company who is not an employee or officer of the Company was granted, upon being named a director of Citadel, immediately vested options to purchase a total of 10,000 shares of Citadel Common Stock at an exercise price as defined in the 1996 Stock Option Plan. The 1996 Plan has been amended to provide that no further options can be granted under the 1996 Plan and as such, there are no options outstanding under the 1996 Plan. As a result of the restructure of the Company's capital stock into two classes on January 4, 2000, these options issued under the 1996 Plan have automatically converted into options to acquire 8,000 and 2,000 shares, respectively, of the Non-Voting and Voting Common Stock. The 1999 Stock Option Plan of Citadel Holding Corporation ("1999 Stock Option Plan") authorizes the grant of options to certain employees and directors of the Company or any Company "affiliate", as defined in the 1999 Plan, at exercise prices not less than the market price at the date of grant. Employees are eligible for incentive stock options ("ISOs") and employees and directors are eligible for what are commonly known as "nonqualified options" ("NQOs"). Options may only be granted for ten years from the date of the plan's adoption, and options granted under the 1999 Plan expire after ten years unless extended. The options are exercisable in installments, generally beginning one year after the date of grant, except for shares granted to directors which vest immediately. The 1999 Stock Option Plan is to be administered by an Administrator who will determine the persons to whom the options should be granted, will set the number and timing of any options granted, and will prescribe the rules and regulations applicable to the options. The Board of Directors has formed the "Stock Option Committee", to be comprised entirely of independent non-employee directors, to be the Administrator of the 1999 Plan. 13

On April 13, 2000, the Stock Option Committee granted each of the Citadel directors, other than Messrs. Cotter and Tompkins, options to acquire 20,000 shares of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock. In addition, certain officers of the Company, including Mr. Tompkins, were granted options to acquire shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock. The options granted on April 13, 2000 total 155,000 option shares. At March 31, 2001, there were 96,500 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock that had vested. All stock options granted on April 13, 2000 have an exercise price of $2.76 per share which was determined as the average stock trading price for the ten days immediately preceding the issuance date. Note 9 - Business Segments The table below sets forth certain information concerning the Company's theater, rental real estate, and agricultural operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 2001 Cinema/Live Rental Theater Real Estate Agricultural Corporate Consolidated - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $3,926 $676 $ 35 $ -- $4,637 Earnings (loss) before taxes 373 420 (183) (1,426) (816) 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ -- $563 $ 4 $ 35 $ 602 Earnings (loss) before taxes -- 414 (96) 13 331 Corporate revenues include consulting fee income from Reading. Note 10 - Comprehensive Income The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes rules for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 requires the Company to classify unrealized gains and/or losses on available-for-sale securities ("AFS") as comprehensive income. The following table sets forth the Company's comprehensive income for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, --------- 2001 2000 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net (loss) income $(872) $ 231 Other comprehensive loss 227 (87) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $(645) $ 144 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14

Note 11 - Acquisitions of Cinema and Live Theatre Assets Acquisition of Theater Property On February 13, 2001, the Company purchased the fee interest in the Union Square building which houses the Union Square Theatre for $7,700,000. Acquisition of Domestic Cinema Assets On March 8, 2001, the Company acquired from Reading four cinemas with 20 screens. (Two of these cinemas were already being managed by the Company, such management rights having been obtained as a part of the City Cinemas Transaction.) The purchase price paid was $1,706,000, representing six times the aggregate cinema EBITDA of the four properties, and was paid through the issuance by the Company of a two year promissory note, accruing interest, and payable quarterly in arrears, at 8.0% per annum. In addition, the Company has assumed the liabilities of these cinemas and Reading, in exchange, has agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $1,162,000 representing the difference between the liabilities assumed and the amount of inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet as of the closing date. Note 12 - Proposed Consolidation of the Companies On March 15, 2001, the Boards of Directors of each of CHC, Craig Corp. and REI considered management's proposal to consolidate CHC, Craig Corp. and Reading into a single public company and determined that it would be in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to consummate such a consolidation transaction, so long as the allocation of ownership of the resultant consolidated entity among the equity holders of the constituent entities was fair. However, in light of the overlapping management and membership of the Boards of Directors of each companies, and Mr. Cotter's status as a controlling stockholder of each of the three companies, it was determined to be appropriate to delegate management's proposal to the Conflicts Committees of the three companies. Accordingly, the Boards of Directors of each of the three companies delegated to their respective Conflict Committees authority and responsibility to review and take such action as they determined appropriate with respect to management's consolidation proposal, and authorized such committees to retain such professional advisors as they may require to carry out such delegated authority. These committees are composed entirely of independent outside directors. The Committees hired Marshall & Stevens to serve as the financial advisors and to assist them in determining a fair allocation of the ownership of the consolidated company. It is hoped that these committees will complete their work by the end of the second quarter of 2001. 15

Note 13 - Subsequent Events The Company has entered into the U.S. cinema exhibition business principally due to the attractiveness of that business as a way to acquire and hold real estate, for potential development for higher and better uses. In September 2000, the Company acquired leasehold and options rights with respect to the Murray Hill Cinema as a part of its acquisition of the Manhattan based City Cinemas cinema chain. On May 4, 2001, the Company entered into agreements with Sutton Hill Capital, LLC ("SHC"), certain affiliates of SHC, and East 34th Street Development, LLC (referred to herein collectively with its successors and assignees as the "Purchaser") to transfer to the Purchaser 100% of the fee title in and possessory interests to the Manhattan property commonly known as the Murray Hill Cinema for $10,000,000, plus certain option rights to invest in the project to be developed on that property (the "Project"). The agreements contemplate a closing date of October 22, 2001. The Purchaser has made a $1,000,000 deposit, which will be forfeited in the event of a default by the Purchaser resulting in a termination of its agreement to purchase the Murray Hill Cinema (the Company's portion of any such amount being $500,000). SHC is the Company's landlord in the Murray Hill and certain other of the Company's Manhattan Cinemas, and is owned by Messrs. James J. Cotter and Michael Forman. Messrs. Cotter and Forma each own approximately 16.5% of the equity of the Company. In consideration of its transfer of its rights with respect to the Murray Hill Cinema, the Company will receive the following benefits: . The Company's rent payments under the City Cinemas Operating Lease will be reduced by $825,000 per year, from $3,547,500 to $2,722,500. . The amount of the Company's obligation under its commitment to fund, beginning in 2007, certain loans to SHC will be reduced by $10,000,000 from $28,000,000 to $18,000,000. . An option, exercisable at any time prior to the earlier or (a) the second anniversary of the acquisition of the Murray Hill Cinema by the Purchaser and (b) thirty days following substantial completion of the foundation for the Project, to either (c) receive a payment of $500,000 or (d) make an investment in the Purchaser equating to a 25% equity interest in the Purchaser. In the event the Company elects the investment alternative, its required capital contribution would be an amount equal to the sum of (e) 33% of the aggregate equity capital of the Purchaser (calculated immediately prior to the making of the investment by the Company), plus (f) a time value of money adjustment amount, calculated at 8.0% per annum, from the date of the acquisition of the Murray Hill Cinemas by the Purchaser. Since trailing 12 month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") generated by the Murray Hill Cinema was only approximately $401,000, as calculated at March 31, 2001, it is anticipated that the transaction will improve the Company's cash flow by approximately $424,000 per year. 16

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview As further described in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during the three months ended March 31, 2001 ("2001 Quarter") and the third quarter of Fiscal 2000, the Company completed a series of transactions that caused reported results for the 2001 Quarter and three month periods ended March 31, 2000 ("2000 Quarter") to lack comparability. . On March 8, 2001, the Company acquired four domestic cinemas from Reading. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include three weeks of operations from these four cinemas. . On February 13, 2001, the Company acquired the fee interest in the Union Square building. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include approximately 6 weeks of rental income from the Union Square building. . In September 2000, the Company acquired certain leasehold and management rights in connection with the City Cinemas circuit in Manhattan. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include operation of the acquired interests and the related lease payment to the seller. . In September 2000, the Company acquired the Royal George Theatre. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include the operations of Royal George Theatre. . In September 2000, the Company acquired OBI. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include the operations of the Minetta, Orpheum and Union Square theaters. . During 2000, substantially all of the general and administrative employees of Citadel became employees of Craig, and the cost of such employees has been allocated between the Company, Craig, and Reading based on the amount of time spent by such employees on the business of each of the respective companies. Accordingly, the 2001 Quarter results include an increased general and administrative allocation from Craig. Results of Operations The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of the Company's principal business for the 2001 Quarter and the 2000 Quarter (dollars in thousands). Operating costs include costs associated with the day-to-day management of the theaters and rental property. Operating expenses include depreciation and amortization charges as well as general and administrative expenses. 2001 Quarter Theater Real Estate Agriculture Corporate Total - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $3,926 $676 $ 35 $ -- $4,637 Operating costs 2,717 256 -- -- 2,973 Operating expenses 887 -- -- 1,548 2,435 Non-operating expense -- -- 218 (173) 45 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings (loss) before minority interest $ 322 $420 $(183) $(1,375) $ (816) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17

2001 Quarter Theater Real Estate Agriculture Corporate Total - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues $ -- $563 $ 4 $ 35 $ 602 Operating costs -- 149 -- -- 149 Operating expenses -- -- -- 305 305 Non-operating expense -- -- 100 (283) (183) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earnings (loss) before minority interest $ -- $414 $(96) $ 13 $ 331 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Theater The 2001 Quarter theater operating income of $322,000 from the Company's eight cinemas and four theaters reflects the substantial decline in cinema attendance during the 2001 Quarter as compared with the 2000 Quarter (before the Company had any interest in the cinemas). This decline in attendance has afflicted the entire cinema exhibition industry and appears to be the result of generally poorly received films and over the past several years, continued growth in the number of theaters. These two factors have contributed to the recent bankruptcy filings by a number of large cinema exhibitors, including Loews (the principal exhibitor in Manhattan and elsewhere), Edwards, General Cinema, Carmike, United Artists, and Mann circuits. Further, most other large exhibitors, including AMC and Regal, are reported to be suffering from poor attendance, high debt costs and declining operating results. In the case of the Company's cinemas, attendance was affected by, among other things, increased competition from new state-of-the-art multiplex cinemas constructed in Manhattan over the past two years. Real Estate The Company has one rental property, an office building located in Glendale, California. The 2001 Quarter real estate operating income of $420,000 remained comparable to that of the 2000 Quarter. Agriculture In the third quarter of 2000, the Company's management determined that future collection on its remaining recorded investment in and advances to the Agricultural Partnerships was unlikely. Accordingly, such remaining amounts were either written off or fully reserved for at December 31, 2000. The Company's decision to reduce the carrying value of its investment in and advances to the Agricultural Partnerships was premised upon (1) the very poor performance of the Agricultural Partnerships since 1997, (2) uncertainties surrounding market conditions which may be extant when the current crop is harvested and sold, and (3) uncertainty about the potential value of the underlying net assets of the Agricultural Partnerships. The $183,000 of 2001 Quarter operating loss is due the Company's write off of the $186,000 of funds advance to the Agricultural Partnerships during the 2001 Quarter and the equity in operating loss of the Agricultural Partnerships, partially offset by farming management fees. 18

Corporate All general and administrative, depreciation and amortization expenses of the Company are regarded as corporate expenses, with the exception of the $295,625 per month beneficial lease payments made to Sutton Hill under the City Cinemas agreement which are recorded as general and administrative expenses of the Theater operation. The Company's total general and administrative expense of $1,951,000 for the 2001 Quarter is comprised of (1) $887,000 of beneficial lease payments to Sutton Hill, and (2) approximately $1,102,000 of general and administrative expenses incurred by the operations, which includes approximately $522,000 of allocated expenses from Craig under the management service agreement. The increase in general and administrative expenses from the 2000 Quarter is due to the acquisition of cinemas and theaters in the third quarter of 2000 and the increased allocation of costs from Craig reflecting the manpower needed to support the Company's expanded operations. Business Plan, Capital Resources and Liquidity Business Overview During the past several years, the Company has been principally engaged in the management of real estate assets acquired during the mid-1990's as part of certain transactions involving the Company and its then subsidiary, Fidelity Federal Bank, FSB. During the past year, management has determined to re-deploy the Company's assets into the cinema exhibition and live theater businesses, each of which are businesses familiar to the Company's principal shareholder, its Chairman and its senior management. Consistent with this strategic decision, during the first quarter of 2001 and third and fourth quarters of 2000, the Company (1) acquired four domestic cinema assets from its affiliate Reading, (2) purchased the Union Square building, (3) acquired a 1/6th interest in AFC, (4) entered into various agreements under which it now operates the City Cinemas cinema chain, (5) acquired three live theaters located in Manhattan, (6) acquired the Royal George Theatre in Chicago, and (7) acquired the rights, previously held by Reading, to complete the fit out and to then operate a cinema complex located in Dallas. Consistent with its current activities, the Company may seek to deploy certain of its remaining liquidity to acquire one or more cinema or live theater assets. With respect to the Company's agricultural operations and the Company's investment in the Agricultural Partnerships, the Company is currently reviewing the situation but will likely continue providing the funding required to harvest the 2000-2001 crop as long as Visalia continues to fund its 20% share of such amounts and as long as the Company believes that such funds can be recovered from the proceeds of such crop. The Agricultural Partnerships have stopped all capital improvements to their properties and are limiting cultural expenditure to bring them into alignment with anticipated crop revenues. The Agricultural Partnerships are also reviewing, among other things, the disposition of all or substantially all of their properties. However, it is not currently anticipated that the properties could be sold at any material premium to the debt owed to the holder of the first trust deeds on the properties. 19

Capital Resources and Liquidity Since December 31, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents have decreased from $24,732,000 to $8,078,000 at March 31, 2001, principally due to the Company's acquisition of various cinema and live theater assets. In the near term, the Company expects to utilize a portion of its remaining liquidity to (1) complete the fit out of its Dallas cinema, (2) to complete tenant improvements required to be made to its remaining rental property, and (3) to fund working capital as needed. Though the Company has historically funded, with Visalia, the operating losses of the Agricultural Partnerships, the Company and Visalia currently intend to operate the Big 4 Properties at a level consistent with the cash flows produced from those properties as discussed above. At March 31, 2001, the Company does not maintain any credit facilities with financial institutions, other than the mortgage secured by the Company's rental property. Currently, however, the Company is pursuing financing for a portion of the Union Square building acquisition price and additional credit facilities. The Company also has two term notes totaling approximately $6,206,000 with Sutton Hill and Reading. Although no assurance can be given in this respect, the Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its current debt obligation from the cash flows generated by the Company's operations. Forward-Looking Statements From time to time, the Company or its representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing, including those contained herein. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, without limitation, reports to stockholders, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Company and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
