Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares are held by James J. Cotter Living Trust.

2. Mr. Cotter is the general partner of a limited partnership which is, in turn, the general partner of Hecco Ventures, a California partnership. Mr. Cotter has voting power over the shares owned by Hecco Ventures. His interest varies from time to time depending upon the extent of his capital account in the limited partnership and of the limited partnership's capital account in Hecco Ventures.

3. Right to buy.

4. These options were originally 460,000 shares of Reading Entertainment, Inc. common stock. 90,000 of these shares were to become exercisable conditional upon an Asset Put exercise, which lapsed unexercised. The remaining 370,000 shares were converted into 462,500 shares of Reading International, Inc. Class A Nonvoting stock, based on a conversion rate of 1.25 per share. Of these shares, 325,000 shares lapsed unexercised because they were to be granted upon the condition that Reading Entertainment convertible preferred shares held by Craig Corporation and Reading International, Inc. were converted into the common stock of Reading Entertainment, Inc., which did not occur. The remaining 137,500 shares vested in equal installments over four years, the first 25% vesting on April 18, 1998, the first anniversary of the grant.
