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 March 31, 2015 (the “March Report”) should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (our “2014 Annual Report”) which contains the latest audited financial statements and related notes.  The periods presented in this document are the three months ended March 31, 2015 (“2015 Quarter”) and the three months ended March 31, 2014 (“2014 Quarter”).

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 March 31, 2015 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 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

Our New Zealand corporate credit facility which would have matured on March 31, 2015 was originally extended to April 30, 2015 and as such the balance of $21.0 million (NZ$28.0 million) is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet as at  March 31, 2015. We have since received a second extension of this facility to July 30, 2015 in order to provide enough time to complete the loan documentation for our new credit facility.

Additionally, the term of our Union Square Theatre Term Loan would have matured on May 1, 2015 but has been extended to June 1, 2015. Accordingly, the outstanding balance of this debt of $6.4 million has been classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2015.

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 extended maturities.

Tax Settlement Liability

As indicated in our 2014 Annual Report, in accordance with the agreement between the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and our subsidiary, Craig Corporation, it is obligated to pay $290,000 per month $3.5 million per year) in settlement of its tax liability for the tax year ended June 30, 1997.

Liquidity

For the above-mentioned liabilities, we believe that we have the required liquidity to meet these obligations through either the extension or replacement of maturing debt or the generation of cash from our operating activities.  Together with our $39.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, we expect to meet our anticipated short-term working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

Receivables

Our receivables balance is composed primarily of credit card receivables, representing the purchase price of tickets, concessions, or coupon books sold at our various businesses.  Sales charged on customer credit cards are collected when the credit card transactions are processed.  The remaining receivables balance is primarily made up of the goods and services tax (“GST”) refund receivable from our Australian taxing authorities and the management fee receivable from the managed cinemas and property damage insurance recovery proceeds. We have no history of significant bad debt losses and we have established an allowance for accounts that we deem uncollectible.

 Marketable Securities

We had investments in marketable securities of $51,000 and $54,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $9,000 included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2015.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, our net unrealized (loss) on marketable securities was ($1,000). For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our net unrealized gain on marketable securities was $1,000.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not buy or sell any marketable securities.

Deferred Leasing Costs

We amortize direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining tenants for our properties 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 2015

No new pronouncements were adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Auditing Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-03) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs which requires unamortized debt issuance costs to be presented as a reduction of the corresponding debt liability rather than a separate asset. ASU 2015-03 will be adopted on the effective date for the Company, which is January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statement disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this update change the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modify related disclosure requirements. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date, and is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2015. However, all entities may adopt the guidance early for new disposals (or new classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard to achieve a consistent application of revenue recognition within the U.S. resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S., generally accepted accounting principles.  Under the new model, recognition of revenues occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The new standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2017; early adoption is prohibited.  The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application.  We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements.
