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.

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 ("SEC") for interim reporting.  As such, certain information and disclosures typically required by US GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  The financial information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011 (the "June Report") should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report which contains the latest audited financial statements and related notes.  The periods presented in this document are the three ("2011 Quarter") and six ("2011 Six Months") months ended June 30, 2011 and the three ("2010 Quarter") and six ("2010 Six Months") months ended June 30, 2010.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been made.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

Marketable Securities

We had investments in marketable securities of $3.1 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  We account for these investments as available for sale investments.  We assess our investment in marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 320-10 for each applicable reporting period.  These investments have a cumulative unrealized gain (loss) of $126,000 and $(43,000) included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, our net unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities was $(219,000) and $106,000, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, our net unrealized loss on marketable securities was $474,000 and $256,000, respectively.

Refinanced Long-Term Debt

           On June 24, 2011, we replaced our Australian Corporate Credit Facility with BOS International ("BOSI") of $115.8 million (AUS$110.0 million) with the proceeds from a new credit facility from National Australia Bank ("NAB") of $110.5 million (AUS$105.0 million).  See Note 11 – Notes Payable and Subordinated Debt (Trust Preferred Securities).
 
Plans to Refinance Credit Facility

The term of our New Zealand Credit Facility with Westpac matures on March 31, 2012.  Accordingly, the June 30, 2011 outstanding balance of this debt of $23.2 million (NZ$28.0 million) is classified as current on our balance sheet.  We have started discussions with our current lender as to the renewal of this facility.

Other Income/Expense

For the 2011 Quarter, we recorded an other income of $91,000 compared to an other expense of $129,000 for the 2010 Quarter.  The 2011 Quarter other income was primarily related to a gain on the sale of marketable securities and a change in certain long term liabilities and in the 2010 Quarter, the $129,000 other loss included offsetting settlements related to our Burstone litigation and the 2008 sale of our interest in the Botany Downs cinema.

 
For the 2011 Six Months, we recorded an other income of $75,000 compared to an other expense of $713,000 for the 2010 Six Months.  The 2011 Six Months other expense was primarily to a gain on the sale of marketable securities and a change in certain long term liabilities and the 2010 Six Months other expense of $713,000 included offsetting settlements related to our Burstone litigation and the 2008 sale of our interest in the Botany Downs cinema and a $605,000 loss associated our Mackie litigation.

Deferred Leasing Costs

We amortize direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining tenants over the respective term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

Deferred Financing Costs

We amortize direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing over the term of the loan using the effective interest method, or the straight-line method, if the result is not materially different.  In addition, interest on loans with increasing interest rates and scheduled principal pre-payments, is also recognized using the effective interest method.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2011

FASB ASU 2010-06 – Fair Value Measurements

ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about the transfers of classifications among the fair value classification levels and the reasons for those changes and separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the presentation of the roll forward of Level 3 assets and liabilities.  Those disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this portion of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There were no other new accounting pronouncements issued during the 2011 Six Months that will have a material impact on our financial statements.
