Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

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 for interim reporting. As such, certain information and footnote 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, 2009 (the “March Report”) should be read in conjunction with our 2008 Annual Report which contains the latest audited financial statements and related footnotes.

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 months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

Marketable Securities

We have investments in marketable securities of $2.3 million and $3.1 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These investments are accounted for as available for sale investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities , as amended by FSP FAS 115-1/124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments , assessments of potential impairment for these investments are performed for each applicable reporting period. During the first quarter of 2009, we realized a loss of $746,000 on certain marketable securities due to an other than temporary decline in market price. There was no realized gain or loss during the first quarter of 2008. These investments have a cumulative unrealized loss of $5,000 included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our net unrealized loss on marketable securities was $2,000 and $1,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

Deferred Leasing Costs

Direct costs incurred in connection with obtaining tenants are amortized over the respective term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

Deferred Financing Costs

Direct costs incurred in connection with financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan utilizing the effective interest method, or 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 on the effective interest method.

Correction of Error

Subsequent to the issuance of the 2008 consolidated financial statements, we discovered that there was an error in the 2008 fixed asset impairment analysis related to certain cinema assets held in New Zealand. As a result of the error, impairment expense and accumulated other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2008 were overstated by $1.7 million and $66,000, respectively, and property and equipment was understated by $1.8 million. We concluded that the error is not material to the 2008 consolidated financial statements and that the errors will be corrected with the next filing of our annual financial statements. As a result of this correction, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was reduced from $18.5 million to $16.8 million and the property and equipment balance as of December 31, 2008 was increased from $153.2 million to $155.0 million. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, included in this Form 10-Q reflects this correction as an increase in property and equipment as noted above and a corresponding decrease in accumulated deficit from $71.2 million to $69.5 million.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2009

SFAS No. 141(R) and No. 160

Pronouncement Affecting the Presentation of Noncontrolling (Minority) Interests in the Company

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires that amounts formerly reported as minority interests in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be reported as noncontrolling interests. In connection with the issuance of SFAS 160, certain revisions were also made to EITF No. Topic D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities” (“EITF D-98”). These revisions clarify that noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions outside of the control of the issuer and noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common shares at the option of the issuer are subject to evaluation under EITF D-98 to determine the appropriate balance sheet classification and measurement of such instruments. This adoption resulted in modifications to the reporting of noncontrolling interests in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The adoption of SFAS 160 had an impact on the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling (minority) interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS 160, the Company will be required to reflect the change in presentation and disclosure for all periods presented in future filings.

The principal effect on the prior year balance sheet related to the adoption of SFAS 160 is an increase in total stockholders’ equity of $1.8 million due to the reclassification of the non-controlling interest to a component of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2008.

Non-controlling interest represents ownership interests not held by Reading International, Inc. in its underlying consolidated subsidiaries.

SFAS 141(R)

Pronouncement Affecting Future Operating Property Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires an acquiring entity to recognize acquired assets and assumed liabilities in a transaction at fair value as of the acquisition date and changes the accounting treatment for certain items, including acquisition costs, which will be required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is required to be applied on a prospective basis.

The adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have any effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have an impact on the cost allocation of future acquisitions and will require the Company to expense acquisition costs for future property acquisitions. While the Company believes the impact of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will not be material to the Company in the future based on recent historical acquisition activity, the impact will ultimately depend on future property acquisitions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued three Final Staff Positions (FSPs) intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and of impairments of securities. The following two of these three FSPs were relevant to our company:

FSP FAS 157-4

FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly , (“FSP FAS 157-4”) relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what Statement 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement—to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. FSP FAS 157-4 will be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating FSP FAS 157-4 but currently we believe that the adoption will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments , (“FSP FAS 107-1 & APB 28-1”) relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP now requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. FSP 107-1 & APB 28-1 will be effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FSP FAS 107-1 & APB 28-1 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. We believe the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 & APB 28-1 will not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Note 2 –Equity and Stock Based Compensation

Equity Compensation

Landplan Property Partners, Pty Ltd

As more fully described in our 2008 annual report, we have granted the President of Landplan Property Partners, Pty Ltd (“LPP”), Mr. Doug Osborne, as incentive compensation, a subordinated carried interest in certain property trusts, owned by LPP and formed to acquire and hold LPP’s real property investments. The estimated value of Mr. Osborne’s incentive interest of $168,000 at March 31, 2009 is included in the noncontrolling interest of LPP at March 31, 2009 (see Note 14 – Noncontrolling Interest ). During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we expensed $49,000 and $34,000, respectively, associated with Mr. Osborne’s interests. At March 31, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the LPP equity awards was $180,000, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of approximately 24 months. No amounts, however, will be payable unless the properties held by the property trusts, on a consolidated basis, provide returns on capital in excess of 11%, compounded annually.

Stock Based Compensation

As part of his compensation package, Mr. John Hunter, our Chief Operating Officer, was granted $100,000 of restricted Class A Non-Voting Common Stock on February 12, 2008. This stock grant has a vesting period of two years and stock grant price of $9.70. On February 11, 2009 and 2008, $100,000 and $50,000, respectively, of restricted Class A Non-Voting Common Stock vested related to prior year grants. At March 31, 2009, 16,742 shares related to vested restricted shares have yet to be issued to him. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded compensation expense of $56,000 and $96,000, respectively, for the vesting of all our restricted stock grants.

The following table details the grants and vesting of restricted stock to our employees (dollars in thousands):

	Non-Vested Restricted Stock			Fair Value at Grant Date
Outstanding – December 31, 2008		33,621		$	574
Vested		(10,948	)	$	(150	)
Outstanding – March 31, 2008		22,673		$	424

Employee/Director Stock Option Plan

We have a long-term incentive stock option plan that provides for the grant to eligible employees and non-employee directors of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Nonvoting Common Stock.

When the Company’s tax deduction from an option exercise exceeds the compensation cost resulting from the option, a tax benefit is created. SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123(R) ”), requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there was no impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows because there were no recognized tax benefits from stock option exercises during these periods.

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate forfeitures. Based on our historical experience and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we do not currently estimate any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.

In accordance with SFAS 123(R), we estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options. The dividend yield is excluded from the calculation, as it is our present intention to retain all earnings. We expense the estimated grant date fair values of options issued on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Based on the prior years’ assumptions for options which have been granted and in accordance with the SFAS 123(R) modified prospective method, we recorded $160,000 in compensation expense for the total estimated grant date fair value of stock options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. At March 31, 2009, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted was $74,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 0.7 years. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008; therefore, no cash was received and no

value was realized from the exercise of options during those periods. No options vested during either of the three months ended March 31, 2009 or 2008; therefore, there was no grant date fair value of options vesting during either period. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding, vested and expected to vest, at March 31, 2009 was $107,000 of which 100% are currently exercisable.

All stock options granted have a contractual life of 10 years at the grant date. The aggregate total number of shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock authorized for issuance under our 1999 Stock Option Plan is 1,287,150. At the time that options are exercised, at the discretion of management, we will either issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the employee or board member. Dependent on the grant letter to the employee or board member, the required service period for option vesting is between zero and four years.

We had the following stock options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

	Common Stock Options Outstanding					Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Outstanding				Common Stock Exercisable Options				Weighted Average Price of Exercisable Options

Note 4 – Operations in Foreign Currency

We have significant assets in Australia and New Zealand. To the extent possible, we conduct our Australian and New Zealand operations on a self-funding basis. The carrying value of our Australian and New Zealand assets and liabilities fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rates between the US dollar and the functional currency of Australia (Australian dollar) and New Zealand (New Zealand dollar). We have no derivative financial instruments to hedge against the risk of foreign currency exposure.

Presented in the table below are the currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Note 5 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued. Stock options and non-vested stock awards give rise to potentially dilutive common shares. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share , these shares are included in the dilutive loss per share calculation under the treasury stock method. The following is a calculation of earnings (loss) per share (dollars in thousands, except share data):

	Three Months Ending March 31,
	2009			2008
Loss from continuing operations	$	(3,617	)	$	(300	)
Income from discontinued operations		224			74
Net loss attributable to Reading International, Inc. shareholders	$	(3,393	)	$	(226	)

Earnings (loss) per common share of Reading International, Inc. – basic and diluted:
Loss from continued operations	$	(0.16	)	$	(0.01	)
Earnings from discontinued operations		0.01			0.00
Basic and diluted loss per share attributable to Reading International, Inc. common shareholders	$	(0.15	)	$	(0.01	)
Weighted average common stock - basic		22,573,737			22,476,355
Weighted average common stock – dilutive		22,573,737			22,476,355

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded losses from continuing operations. As such, the incremental shares of 28,610 and 291,504, respectively, of exercisable stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive in those periods.

Malulani Investments, Limited

We continue to treat this investment on a cost basis by recognizing earnings as they are distributed to us. We are currently in litigation with certain controlling shareholders and directors of Malulani Investments Limited (“MIL”).

In December 2006, we commenced a lawsuit against certain officers and directors of Malulani Investments Limited alleging various direct and derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and waste and seeking, among other things, access to various company books and records. As certain of these claims were brought derivatively, MIL was also named as a defendant in that litigation. On March 11, 2009, we and Magoon Acquisition and Development, LLC (“Magoon LLC”) agreed to terms of settlement (the “Settlement Terms”) with respect to this lawsuit. Under the Settlement Terms, we and Magoon LLC will receive $2.5 million in cash, a $6.75 million three-year 6.25% secured promissory note (issued by The Malulani Group ("TMG")), and a ten year “tail interest” in MIL and TMG which allows us, in effect, to participate in certain distributions made or received by MIL, TMG and/or, in certain cases, the shareholders of TMG. However, the tail interest continues only for a period of ten years and no assurances can be given that we will in fact receive any distributions with respect to this Tail Interest. As of March 31, 2009, neither the cash, note receivable, nor the tail interest have been received by us and are not reflected in our balance sheet or statements of operations. For a further explanation of this agreement, see Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies .

Place 57 Retail Condominium Sale

The remaining retail condominium of our Place 57 joint venture was sold in February 2009 for approximately $4.0 million. Based on the closing statements of the sale, our share of the sales proceeds was approximately $900,000 and earnings of $304,000.

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Subsequent to January 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , we do not amortize goodwill. Instead, we perform an annual impairment review of our goodwill and other intangible assets on a reporting unit basis unless changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our U.S. cinema reporting unit (which includes the assets of Consolidated Entertainment cinemas acquired on February 22, 2008) annual goodwill impairment test was completed and goodwill was determined not to be impaired. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had goodwill consisting of the following (dollars in thousands):

Litigation

Malulani Investments Litigation

On March 11, 2009, we and Magoon LLC agreed to terms of settlement (the “Settlement Terms”) with respect to that certain lawsuit entitled Magoon Acquisition & Development, LLC; a California limited liability company, Reading International, Inc.; a Nevada corporation, and James J. Cotter vs. Malulani Investments, Limited, a Hawaii Corporation, Easton T. Mason; John R. Dwyer, Jr.; Philip Gray; Kenwei Chong (Civil No. 06-1-2156-12 (GWBC)). Under the Settlement Terms, we and Magoon LLC will receive $2.5 million in cash, a $6.75 million three year 6.25% secured promissory note (issued by TMG), and a ten year “tail interest” in MIL and TMG which allows us, in effect, to participate in certain distributions made or received by MIL, TMG and/or, in certain cases, the shareholders of TMG. However, the tail interest continues only for a period of ten years and no assurances can be given that we will in fact receive any distributions with respect to this Tail Interest.

-15-

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Settlement Terms, we will transfer all of our interests in MIL to TMG and Magoon LLC will transfer all of its interest in MIL and TMG to TMG, and there will be a mutual release of claims. Mr. Cotter, our Chairman, our Chief Executive Officer and our principal shareholder and a director of MIL, is simultaneously settling his related claims for mutual general releases and resigning from the Board of Directors of MIL.

Under the terms of our Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement with Magoon LLC, we are, generally speaking, entitled to receive, on a priority basis, 100% of any proceeds from any disposition of the shares in MIL and TMG held by us or Magoon LLC until we (Reading) have recouped substantially all of our litigation costs and the cost of our investment in MIL. Accordingly, we will receive virtually all of the cash proceeds of the settlement, plus virtually all distribution with respect to the promissory note, until such time as we have recouped both our litigation costs and the cost of our investment. Thereafter, Magoon LLC will receive some distributions under the promissory note and the Tail Interest (if any) until it has recouped its investment in MIL and TMG. Thereafter, any distributions under the Tail Interest, if any, will be shared between us and Magoon LLC in accordance with the sharing formula set forth in the Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement between ourselves and Magoon LLC. Given the secured nature of the promissory note, we believe that we will recoup the full amount of our litigation costs and our investment in MIL from the proceeds of this settlement.

50% of membership interest in Angelika Film Centers LLC (“AFC LLC”) owned by a subsidiary of DNA, Inc.;

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), we marked our interest rate swap instruments to market on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet resulting in a $243,000 increase to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009, and a $61,000 decrease to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have recorded the fair market value of our interest rate swaps of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, as an other long-term liability. In accordance with SFAS 133, we have not designated any of our current interest rate swap positions as financial reporting hedges.

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above:

·	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·	Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

·	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (were not used to value any of our assets).

Note 19 – Assets held for sale

In accordance with SFAS 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets , we report as discontinued operations real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity and have been sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale under SFAS 144. We included all results of these discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, in a separate component of operations on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations under the heading “discontinued operations.” This treatment resulted in reclassifications of the 2008 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2009 presentation.

On September 16, 2008, we entered into a sale option agreement to sell our Auburn real estate property and cinema for $28.5 million (AUS$36.0 million). The sale option agreement calls for an initial option payment of $948,000 (AUS$1.2 million), received on the agreement date, and four option installment payments of $316,000 (AUS$400,000), $265,000 (AUS$400,000), $265,000 (AUS$400,000), and $948,000 (AUS$1.2 million) payable over the subsequent 9 months. The option comes to term on November 1, 2009 at which time the balance of $25.6 million (AUS$32.4 million) is due and payable. At any time during the 13-month option, the buyer may decline to move further in the sale process resulting in a forfeiture of all previous option payments. As of March 31, 2009, we have received the initial option payment and the first two of the scheduled option installment payments indicating that the purchaser is in compliance with the terms of the option.

The assets of the Auburn real estate and cinema are as follows:

Note 20 – Subsequent Events

TPS Retirement of Debt

In January and February 2009, Reading reacquired approximately $22.9 million of the trust preferred securities in exchange for certain marketable securities. On April 30, 2009, Reading extinguished $22.9 million of these trust preferred securities, which will result in a second quarter gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $11.5 million.

Place 57 Distribution

On April 11, 2009, we received $1.2 million in association with our investment in the Place 57 joint venture representing a return of substantially all of our initial investment.

Manukau Land Purchase

On April 30, 2009, we entered into an agreement to purchase for $2.9 million (NZ$5.2 million) a property adjacent to our Manukau property. The agreement is conditioned upon us getting regulatory approval and calls for a deposit of $147,000 (NZ$258,000) to be paid immediately which is returnable to us if we are unable to get regulatory approval, a second deposit to be made of $440,000 (NZ$773,000) upon regulatory approval, and the remaining balance to be paid on the settlement date of March 31, 2010.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are an internationally diversified company principally focused on the development, ownership, and operation of entertainment and real property assets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Currently, we operate in two business segments:

cinema exhibition, through our 58 multiplex theatres, and

real estate, including real estate development and the rental of retail, commercial and live theatre assets.

We believe that these two business segments can complement one another, as the comparatively consistent cash flows generated by our cinema operations can be used to fund the front-end cash demands of our real estate development business.

We manage our worldwide cinema businesses under various different brands:

in the US, under the Reading, Angelika Film Center, Consolidated Amusements, and City Cinemas brands;

in Australia, under the Reading brand; and

in New Zealand, under the Reading and Rialto brands.

We believe cinema exhibition to be a business that will likely continue to generate fairly consistent cash flows in the years ahead. This is based on our belief that people will continue to spend some reasonable portion of their entertainment dollar on entertainment outside of the home and that, when compared to other forms of outside the home entertainment, movies continue to be a popular and competitively priced option. In keeping with our business plan of being opportunistic in adding to our existing cinema portfolio, on February 22, 2008, we acquired 15 cinemas with 181 screens in Hawaii and California (the “Consolidated Entertainment” acquisition) and we continue to consider the acquisition of cinema assets currently being offered for sale in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Also, in April 2008 and in August 2008, we opened two leased cinemas in Rouse Hill and Dandenong, Australia with 9 and 6 screens, respectively. Nevertheless, we believe it is likely that, over the long term, we will be reinvesting the majority our free cash flow into our general real estate development activities. We anticipate that our cinema operations will continue as our main source of cash flow and will support our real estate oriented activities.

In short, while we do have operating company attributes, we see ourselves principally as a hard asset company and intend to add to shareholder value by building the value of our portfolio of tangible assets.

In addition, we may from time to time identify opportunities to expand our existing businesses and asset base, or to otherwise profit, through the acquisition of interests in other publicly traded companies, both in the United States and in the overseas jurisdictions in which we do business. At March 31, 2009, our investments in the securities of other public companies aggregated $2.3 million, based on the closing price of such securities on that date. We may also, in addition to our investments in various private cinema joint ventures, take positions in private companies.

At March 31, 2009, we owned and operated 52 cinemas with 427 screens, had interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures and entities that own an additional 4 cinemas with 32 screens and managed 2 cinemas with 9 screens.

While remaining opportunistic in our acquisitions of cinema assets, our business plan going forward is to build-out our existing development properties and to seek out additional real estate development opportunities

-21-

Table of Contents

while continuing to use and judiciously expand our presence in the cinema exhibition and live theatre business, by identifying, developing, and acquiring cinema and live theatre properties when and where appropriate.

We continue to acquire, to dispose of, or to reposition assets in accordance with our business plan.

Results of Operations

As previously stated, with the purchase of the Consolidated Entertainment cinemas in February 2008 and the addition of our newly opened Rouse Hill and Dandenong cinemas in Australia, at March 31, 2009, we owned and operated 52 cinemas with 427 screens, had interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures and entities that own an additional 4 cinemas with 32 screens and managed 2 cinemas with 9 screens. Regarding real estate, we owned and operated during the period four ETRC’s that we have developed in Australia and New Zealand; owned the fee interests in four developed commercial properties in Manhattan and Chicago, all of which are improved with live theatres, which together comprise seven stages and, in two cases, ancillary retail and commercial space; owned the fee interests underlying one of our Manhattan cinemas and hold for development an additional seven parcels (aggregating approximately 123 acres) located principally in urbanized areas of Australia and New Zealand. Two of these parcels, Burwood and Moonee Ponds, comprise approximately 54 acres, and are in areas designated by the provincial government of Victoria, Australia as “major principal activity centres.” We are currently in the planning phases of their development.

Operating expense includes costs associated with the day-to-day operations of the cinemas and live theatres and the management of rental properties. Our year-to-year results of operation were principally impacted by the following:

the above mentioned acquisition on February 22, 2008 of 15 cinemas with 181 screens in Hawaii and California as part of the Consolidated Entertainment acquisition; and

the fluctuation in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars vis-à-vis the US dollar resulting in a general decrease in results of operations for our foreign operations for 2009 compared to 2008.

Cinema revenue increased for the 2009 Quarter by $8.4 million or 24.5% compared to the same period in 2008. The 2009 Quarter increase was primarily a result of $12.0 million of revenue from our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas offset by decreased results from our Australia and New Zealand operations primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates (see below) including $3.2 million from admissions and $1.1 million from concessions and other revenues.

Operating expense increased for the 2009 Quarter by $7.6 million or 27.1% compared to the same period in 2008. This increase followed the aforementioned increase in revenues. Overall, our operating expenses as a ratio to gross revenue increased from 82% to 84% for the 2008 and 2009 Quarters, respectively. This increase in cinema costs was driven by the US and primarily related to higher film rent expense associated with our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas whose film product is primarily wide release films resulting in higher film rent cost compared to our predominately pre-acquisition art cinemas in the United States, which generally have lower film rent costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the 2009 Quarter by $308,000 or 11.9% compared to the same period in 2008 primarily related to our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas.

General and administrative costs increased for the 2009 Quarter by $32,000 or 4.2% compared to the same period in 2008 primarily related to the purchase and operations of our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas and legal matters associated with our cinema assets.

For our statement of operations, Australia and New Zealand quarterly average exchange rates have decreased by 26.7% and 32.5%, respectively, since 2008, which had an impact on the individual components of our income statement.

Because of the above, cinema segment income increased for the 2009 Quarter by $464,000 compared to the same period in 2008.

Real estate revenue increased for the 2009 Quarter by $139,000 or 2.5% compared to the same period in 2008. Revenues increased in the U.S. primarily related to rental revenues from our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas that have ancillary real estate associated with them. This increase was offset by decreased real estate revenues from our Australia and New Zealand properties primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates (see below).

Operating expense for the real estate segment increased for the 2009 Quarter by $916,000 or 49.6% compared to the same period in 2008. This increase in expense was primarily related to our newly acquired Consolidated Entertainment cinemas that have ancillary real estate coupled with increasing utility and other operating costs primarily in our US properties.

Depreciation expense for the real estate segment decreased by $204,000 or 23.1% for the 2009 Quarter compared to the same period in 2008.

General and administrative costs decreased for the 2009 Quarter by $66,000 or 26.7% compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates (see below).

For our statement of operations, Australia and New Zealand quarterly average exchange rates have decreased by 26.7% and 32.5%, respectively, since 2008, which had an impact on the individual

Table of Contents

components of our income statement.

As a result of the above, real estate segment income decreased for the 2009 Quarter by $507,000 compared to the same period in 2008.

Corporate

General and administrative expense includes expenses that are not directly attributable to other operating segments. General and administrative expense decreased by $219,000 in the 2009 Quarter compared to the 2008 Quarter. This decrease is primarily related to decreases in professional and outside services and lower travel costs in 2009 compared to the 2008 Quarter. Travel costs were higher in the 2008 Quarter primarily related to our acquisition of the Consolidated Entertainment cinemas.

Net interest expense increased by $1.6 million for the 2009 Quarter compared to the 2008 Quarter primarily related to our discontinuing of capitalizing interest on our development properties, where development has been substantially curtailed.

Other expense was $795,000 for the 2009 Quarter compared to other income of $1.4 million for the 2008 Quarter. The quarterly swing was primarily related to a realized loss in marketable securities of $746,000 during the 2009 Quarter and to one-time settlements on our Burstone litigation and credit card dispute in 2008 that were not repeated in 2009.

Equity earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures and entities increased by approximately $136,000 for the 2009 Quarter compared to the same period last year primarily related to $304,000 of earnings from our Place 57 investment for the sale of its retail condominium in February 2009 offset by lower cinema earnings from our Mt. Gravatt and Rialto Distribution investments coupled with the sale of our Botany Cinema investment in June 2008 for which we had earnings in 2008 but not repeated in 2009.

Net Loss Attributable to Reading International, Inc. Common Shareholders

During 2009, we recorded net loss of $3.4 million for the 2009 Quarter compared to a net loss of $226,000 for the 2008 Quarter. As noted above, the larger loss is primarily related to increased interest and a one time other income in the 2008 Quarter not repeated in 2009.

Business Plan, Capital Resources, and Liquidity

Business Plan

Our cinema exhibition business plan is to continue to identify, develop, and acquire cinema properties, where reasonably available, that allow us to leverage our cinema expertise and technology over a larger operating base. Our real estate business plan is to continue to develop our existing land assets, focusing principally on uses that incorporate entertainment elements such as cinemas, to continue to be sensitive to opportunities to convert our entertainment assets to higher and better uses, or, when appropriate, dispose of such assets. In addition, we will actively seek out potential real estate sites in Australia and New Zealand that show profitable redevelopment opportunities.

Estimated interest on long-term debt is based on the anticipated loan balances for future periods calculated against current fixed and variable interest rates.

We adopted FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. As of adoption, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $12.5 million increasing to $14.6 million as of March 31, 2009. We do not expect a significant tax payment related to these obligations within the 12 months.

Unconsolidated Debt

Total debt of unconsolidated joint ventures and entities was $772,000 and $785,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Our share of unconsolidated debt, based on our ownership percentage, was $257,000 and $261,000 as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. This debt is without recourse to Reading as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in the financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Currency Risk

A significant portion of our business is conducted in Australia and New Zealand, and as such, we are subject to currency risk. Set forth below is a chart indicating the various exchange rates at certain points in time for the Australian and New Zealand Dollar vis-à-vis the US Dollar over the past 20 years.

-27-

Table of Contents

We do not engage in currency hedging activities. Rather, to the extent possible, we operate our Australian and New Zealand operations on a self-funding basis. Our policy in Australia and New Zealand is to match revenues and expenses, whenever possible, in local currencies. As a result, the majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand have been procured in local currencies. Due to the developing nature of our operations in Australia and New Zealand and our historic practice of funding our asset growth through local borrowings, our revenues are not yet significantly greater than our operating expenses and interest charges in these countries. The resulting natural operating hedge has led, historically, to a negligible foreign currency effect on our net earnings. However, with the reductions in our New Zealand and Australia debt as a result of the application of the proceeds of the US subordinated debt placement in the first quarter of 2007, we have virtually eliminated all interest expense in New Zealand and reduced our borrowings in Australia while increasing the interest payments which must be made in US Dollars, which will likely increase the impact of currency fluctuations on our net earnings. Also as a result of our decision to use US debt to pay off certain New Zealand debt and to reduce our Australian debt, foreign currency will likely have a more significant effect on the value of our assets and liabilities than during periods when we had a closer matching of our overseas assets and liabilities, with fluctuations noted in other comprehensive income. This situation has been somewhat offset by our use of New Zealand borrowing of $6.8 million (NZ$11.8 million) to repurchase our trust preferred securities at a 50% discount. As we continue to progress with our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, the effect of variations in currency values will likely increase. Continued strengthening of the US Dollar vis-à-vis the Australian and New Zealand Dollar will continue to adversely impact both our net income and our net asset value. In the mean time, we continue to monitor the situation, including without limitation the impact of these currency declines on our various debt covenants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities in order to meet our obligations and commitments drives our liquidity position. This is further affected by our ability to obtain adequate, reasonable financing and/or to convert non-performing or non-strategic assets into cash.

-28-

Table of Contents

Currently, our liquidity needs arise mainly from:

working capital requirements; and

debt servicing requirements.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operations was $730,000 in the 2009 Quarter compared to $9.1 million provided by operations for the 2008 Quarter. The decrease in cash provided by operations of $9.8 million is due primarily to:

increased cinema operational cash flow primarily from our domestic acquisition operations;

offset by

$3.2 million of cash used in operating assets and liabilities for 2009 compared to $4.6 million of cash provided by operating assets and liabilities for 2008. The cash provided by operating assets and liabilities in 2008 was primarily associated with the timing of cash receipts compared to cash payments for our newly acquired U.S. cinemas.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the 2009 Quarter decreased by $42.7 million to $12.6 million from $55.3 million compared to the same period in 2008. The $12.6 million cash used for the 2009 Quarter was primarily related to:

$1.8 million in property enhancements to our existing properties; and

$11.5 million to purchase marketable securities to exchange for our Reading International Trust I securities;

offset by

$433,000 of change in restricted cash; and

$265,000 receipt of an option payment for the Auburn property.

The $55.3 million cash used for the 2008 Quarter was primarily related to:

$49.2 million to purchase the assets of the Consolidated Cinemas circuit;

$2.5 million to purchase real estate assets acquired through LPP; and

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the 2009 Quarter was $1.9 million compared to $55.4 million of cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2008 resulting in a decrease of $57.3 million. The $1.9 million in cash used in the 2009 Quarter was primarily related to:

$1.2 million of borrowing on our Australia credit facilities;

offset by

$3.1 million of loan repayments.

The $55.4 million in cash provided in the 2008 Quarter was primarily related to:

$48.0 million of net proceeds from our new GE Capital Term Loan used to finance the Consolidated Entertainment transaction;

$6.6 million of net proceeds from our new Liberty Theatres loan; and

$1.1 million of borrowing on our Australia credit facilities;

offset by

$159,000 in distributions to noncontrolling interests.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and the most demanding in their calls on judgment. Although accounting for our core business of cinema and live theatre exhibition with a real estate focus is relatively straightforward, we believe our most critical accounting policies relate to:

impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets;

tax valuation allowance and obligations; and

legal and environmental obligations.

These critical accounting policies are fully discussed in our 2008 Annual Report and you are advised to refer to that discussion.

Financial Risk Management

Our internally developed risk management procedure, seeks to minimize the potentially negative effects of changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates on the results of operations. Our primary exposure to fluctuations in the financial markets is currently due to changes in foreign exchange rates between U.S and Australia and New Zealand, and interest rates.

As our operational focus continues to shift to Australia and New Zealand, unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses could materially affect our financial position. We currently manage our currency exposure by creating, whenever possible, natural hedges in Australia and New Zealand. This involves local country sourcing of goods and services as well as borrowing in local currencies.

Our exposure to interest rate risk arises out of our long-term debt obligations. Consistent with our internally developed guidelines, we seek to reduce the negative effects of changes in interest rates by changing the character of the interest rate on our long-term debt, converting a variable rate into a fixed rate. Our internal procedures allow us to enter into derivative contracts on certain borrowing transactions to achieve this goal. Our Australian credit facilities provide for floating interest rates but require that not less than a certain percentage of the loans be swapped into fixed rate obligations using the derivative contracts.

Inflation

We continually monitor inflation and the effects of changing prices. Inflation increases the cost of goods and services used. Competitive conditions in many of our markets restrict our ability to recover fully the higher costs of acquired goods and services through price increases. We attempt to mitigate the impact of inflation by implementing continuous process improvement solutions to enhance productivity and efficiency and, as a result, lower costs and operating expenses. In our opinion, the effects of inflation have been managed appropriately and as a result, have not had a material impact on our operations and the resulting financial position or liquidity.

Litigation

We are currently, and are from time to time, involved with claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business. Some examples of the types of claims are:

contractual obligations;

insurance claims;

IRS claims;

employment matters;

environmental matters; and

anti-trust issues.

Where we are the plaintiffs, we expense all legal fees on an on-going basis and make no provision for any potential settlement amounts until received. In Australia, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its attorneys fees, which typically works out to be approximately 60% of the amounts actually spent where first class legal counsel is engaged at customary rates. Where we are a plaintiff, we have likewise made no provision for the liability for the defendant’s attorneys' fees in the event we were determined not to be the prevailing party.

Where we are the defendants, we accrue for probable damages, which may not be covered by insurance, as they become known and can be reasonably estimated. In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. However, we do not give any assurance as to the ultimate outcome of such claims and litigation. The resolution of such claims and litigation could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period. There have been no material changes to our litigation exposure since our Company’s 2008 Annual Report.

Forward-Looking Statements

Our statements in this interim quarterly report contain a variety of forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect only our expectations regarding future events and operating performance and necessarily speak only as of the date the information was prepared. No guarantees can be given that our expectation will in fact be realized, in whole or in part. You can recognize these statements by our use of words such as, by way of example, “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” and “anticipate” or other similar terminology.

These forward-looking statements reflect our expectation after having considered a variety of risks and uncertainties. However, they are necessarily the product of internal discussion and do not necessarily completely reflect the views of individual members of our Board of Directors or of our management team. Individual Board members and individual members of our management team may have different view as to the risks and uncertainties involved, and may have different views as to future events or our operating performance.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or underlying our forward-looking statements are the following:

With respect to our cinema operations:

The number and attractiveness to movie goers of the films released in future periods;

The amount of money spent by film distributors to promote their motion pictures;

The licensing fees and terms required by film distributors from motion picture exhibitors in order to exhibit their films;

The comparative attractiveness of motion pictures as a source of entertainment and willingness and/or ability of consumers (i) to spend their dollars on entertainment and (ii) to spend their entertainment dollars on movies in an outside the home environment;

The extent to which we encounter competition from other cinema exhibitors, from other sources of outside of the home entertainment, and from inside the home entertainment options, such as “home theaters” and competitive film product distribution technology such as, by way of example, cable, satellite broadcast, DVD and VHS rentals and sales, and so called “movies on demand;” and

The extent to and the efficiency with which, we are able to integrate acquisitions of cinema circuits with our existing operations.

With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:

The rental rates and capitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own;

The extent to which we can obtain on a timely basis the various land use approvals and entitlements needed to develop our properties;

The risks and uncertainties associated with real estate development;

The availability and cost of labor and materials;

Competition for development sites and tenants;

Environmental remediation issues; and

The extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenant which will, in turn, be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations; and

-32-

Table of Contents

With respect to our operations generally as an international company involved in both the development and operation of cinemas and the development and operation of real estate; and previously engaged for many years in the railroad business in the United States:

Our ongoing access to borrowed funds and capital and the interest that must be paid on that debt and the returns that must be paid on such capital;

The relative values of the currency used in the countries in which we operate;

Changes in government regulation, including by way of example, the costs resulting from the implementation of the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley;

Our labor relations and costs of labor (including future government requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave);

Our exposure from time to time to legal claims and to uninsurable risks such as those related to our historic railroad operations, including potential environmental claims and health related claims relating to alleged exposure to asbestos or other substances now or in the future recognized as being possible causes of cancer or other health related problems;

Changes in future effective tax rates and the results of currently ongoing and future potential audits by taxing authorities having jurisdiction over our various companies; and

Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.

The above list is not necessarily exhaustive, as business is by definition unpredictable and risky, and subject to influence by numerous factors outside of our control such as changes in government regulation or policy, competition, interest rates, supply, technological innovation, changes in consumer taste and fancy, weather, and the extent to which consumers in our markets have the economic wherewithal to spend money on beyond-the-home entertainment.

Given the variety and unpredictability of the factors that will ultimately influence our businesses and our results of operation, it naturally follows that no guarantees can be given that any of our forward-looking statements will ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results will undoubtedly vary and there is no guarantee as to how our securities will perform either when considered in isolation or when compared to other securities or investment opportunities.

Finally, please understand that we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any of our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. Accordingly, you should always note the date to which our forward-looking statements speak.

Additionally, certain of the presentations included in this interim quarterly report may contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” In such case, a reconciliation of this information to our GAAP financial statements will be made available in connection with such statements.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that registrants include information about potential effects of changes in currency exchange and interest rates in their filings. Several alternatives, all with some limitations, have been offered. The following discussion is based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. This analysis is constrained by several factors, including the following:

It is based on a single point in time.

It does not include the effects of other complex market reactions that would arise from the changes modeled.

Although the results of such an analysis may be useful as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as forecasts.

At March 31, 2009, approximately 42% and 16% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand), respectively, including approximately $8.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2008, approximately 44% and 18% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand) including approximately $19.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Our policy in Australia and New Zealand is to match revenues and expenses, whenever possible, in local currencies. As a result, a majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand have been procured in local currencies. Due to the developing nature of our operations in Australia and New Zealand, our revenue is not yet significantly greater than our operating expense. The resulting natural operating hedge has led to a somewhat negligible foreign currency effect on our current earnings. Although foreign currency has had a nominal effect on our current earnings, the effect of the translation adjustment on our assets and liabilities noted in our other comprehensive income was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. As we continue to progress our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, we cannot assure you that the foreign currency effect on our earnings will be insignificant in the future.

Historically, our policy has been to borrow in local currencies to finance the development and construction of our ETRC’s in Australia and New Zealand whenever possible. As a result, the borrowings in local currencies have provided somewhat of a natural hedge against the foreign currency exchange exposure. Even so, and as a result of our issuance of fully subordinated notes described below, approximately 44% and 71% of our Australian and New Zealand assets, respectively, remain subject to such exposure unless we elect to hedge our foreign currency exchange between the US and Australian and New Zealand dollars. If the foreign currency rates were to fluctuate by 10% the resulting change in Australian and New Zealand assets would be $6.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and the change in our quarterly net income would be $17,000 and $58,000, respectively. At the present time, we have no plan to hedge such exposure.

We record unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses that could materially affect our financial position. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have recorded a cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $6.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

Historically, we maintained most of our cash and cash equivalent balances in short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Some of our money market investments may decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to the short-term nature of such investments, a change of 1% in short-term interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition.

While we have typically used fixed rate financing (secured by first mortgages) in the U.S., fixed rate financing is typically not available to corporate borrowers in Australia and New Zealand. The majority of our Australian and New Zealand bank loans have variable rates. The Australian facilities provide for floating interest rates, but require that not less than a certain percentage of the loans be swapped into fixed rate obligations (see Financial Risk Management above). If we consider the interest rate swaps, a 1% increase or decrease in short-term interest rates would have resulted in approximately $286,000 increase or decrease in our 2009 Quarter Australian and New Zealand interest expense.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
