Nationwide Notes

Pursuant to the terms of the notes, on February 21, 2011, we paid off our Nationwide Loan 2 of $1.5 million with its $359,000 of accrued interest and paid off the accrued interest of $134,000 included in the Nationwide Loan 1 balance.

Australian Corporate Credit Facility

On June 24, 2011, we replaced our Australian Corporate Credit Facility of $115.8 million (AUS$110.0 million) with BOS International ("BOSI") with a new credit facility from National Australia Bank ("NAB") of $110.5 million (AUS$105.0 million).  NAB provided us term debt of $94.7 million (AUS$90.0 million) and $9.5 million (AUS$9.0 million) in line of credit which we used combined with our cash of $1.6 million (AUS$1.5 million) to pay down our $105.8 million (AUS$100.5 million) of outstanding BOSI debt.  The new three-tiered credit facility from NAB (the "NAB Credit Facility") has a term of three years, due and payable June 30, 2014, and comprises a $94.7 million (AUS$90.0 million) term loan; a $10.5 million (AUS$10.0 million) revolving facility; and a $5.3 million (AUS$5.0 million) guarantee facility.  This loan to Reading Entertainment Australia commenced on June 24, 2011 with an interest rate of between 2.90% and 2.15% above the BBSY bid rate.  The collateral pledged as security under the NAB Credit Facility is equivalent to that pledged to secure the expired BOSI Facility.  The NAB Credit Facility requires annual principal payments of between $7.5 million (AUS$7.0 million) and $9.7 million (AUS$9.0 million) which, it is anticipated, will be paid from Reading Entertainment Australia operating cash flows.  The covenants of the NAB Credit Facility include a fixed charge coverage ratio, a debt service cover ratio, an operating leverage ratio, a loan to value ratio, and other financial covenants.  Additionally, the NAB Credit Facility allows us to only transfer $4.3 million (AUS$4.0 million) per year outside of Australia.  Management believes that maintaining the covenants and payment commitments over the term of the new credit facility can be achieved without any material alteration to the current operating activities of Reading Entertainment Australia.

In conjunction with this NAB Credit Facility, we entered into a five-year interest swap agreement which swaps 100% of our $96.6 million (AUS$90.0 million) variable rate term loan (decreasing in line with scheduled principal repayments) based on BBSY, for a 5.50% fixed rate.  For further information regarding our swap agreements, see Note 17 – Derivative Instruments.
