Basis Of Presentation

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, 2013 (the “June Report”) should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (our “2012 Annual Report”) which contains the latest audited financial statements and related notes.  The periods presented in this document are the three (“2013 Quarter”) and six (“2013Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2013 and the three (“2012 Quarter”) and six (“2012Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2012.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of June 30, 2013 and our results of our operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been made.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

Expiring Debt and Liquidity Requirements

Expiring Long-Term Debt

As indicated in our 2012 Annual Report, the term of our Australian NAB Corporate Term Loan matures on June 30, 2014.  Accordingly, the outstanding balance of this debt of $62.3 million (AUS$68.0 million) is classified as current on our June 30, 2013 balance sheet.  The Australian NAB Corporate Term Loan is secured by the majority of our theater and entertainment-themed retail center (“ETRC”) properties in Australia. 

Additionally, the term of our US Cinema 1, 2, 3 Term Loan matures on June 27, 2014.  Accordingly, the outstanding balance of this debt of $15.0 million is classified as current on our June 30, 2013 balance sheet.

We are currently in the process of renegotiating these loans with our current lenders while also seeking possible replacement loans with other lenders.  While no assurances can be given that we will be successful, we currently anticipate that these loans will either be extended or replaced prior to their maturities.

Liberty Theatre Term Loans

On May 29, 2013, we replaced our Liberty Theater Term Loan with a loan securitized by our Orpheum and Minetta Lane theaters with a note balance of $7.5 million.  For more details on this new loan, see Note 11 – Notes Payable.

Tax Settlement Liability

As indicated in our 2012 Annual Report, in accordance with the agreement between the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and our subsidiary, Craig Corporation, we are obligated to pay $290,000 per month, $3.5 million per year, in settlement of our tax liability for the tax year ended June 30, 1997.

For the abovementioned liabilities, we believe that we have sufficient borrowing capacity under our various credit facilities, together with our $42.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, to meet our anticipated short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Marketable Securities

We had investments in marketable securities of $58,000 and $55,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10 for each applicable reporting period.  These investments have a cumulative gain of $14,000 included in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2013.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our net unrealized gain on marketable securities was $6,000 and $5,000, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our net unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities was $3,000 and ($7,000), respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold $3.0 million of our marketable securities with a realized gain of $3,000.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we did not buy or sell any marketable securities.

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.
