We are currently inexclusive lease negotiations for long term leases withrespect to approximately 90% of the net rentable areaof the building and, while no assurances can be given,it is currently anticipated that our base building will beready for tenant improvement work before the end ofthe second quarter of this year.44 Union Square AustraliaLocated on 203,287 square feet of land in suburbanBrisbane, the center is currently comprised ofapproximately 146,905 square feet of net rentable areaand is 98% leased.

The center is currently comprisedof approximately 519,992 square feet of land and75,492 square feet of net rentable area, serviced by a727 space subterranean parking garage, and is 83%leased.

New ZealandLocated in the heart of Wellington – New Zealand’scapital city – this center is comprised of 161,071 squarefeet of land situated proximate to the Te PapaTongarewa Museum (attracting over 1.5 million visitorsannually), across the street from the site of Wellington’snewly announced convention center (estimated to openits doors in 2022) and at a major public transit hub. Damage from the 2016 earthquake necessitateddemolition of our nine-story parking garage at the site,and unrelated seismic issues have caused us to closeportions of the existing cinema and retail structurewhile we reevaluate the center for redevelopment as anentertainment themed urban center with a major foodand grocery component. Wellington continues to be rated as one of the top citiesin the world in which to live, and we continue tobelieve that the Courtenay Central site is located in oneof the most vibrant and growing commercial andentertainment sections of Wellington. Courtenay Central Real Estate /Live TheatreUnited StatesWe continue to operate three (3) off-Broadway livetheatres, one (1) in Chicago and two (2) in Manhattan,New York, under the Liberty Theatres tradename. In2018, we entered into a license with Audible, asubsidiary of Amazon, pursuant to which our MinettaLane Theatre serves as Audible’s live theatre home inNew York City.Liberty Theatres We synergistically bring together cinema based entertainment and real estate and believe that these two business segments complement oneanother, as our cinemas have historically provided the steady cash flows that allow us to be opportunistic in acquiring and holding realestate assets (including non-income producing land) and support our real estate development activities. Our real estate allows us todevelop an asset base that we believe will stand the test of time and one that is capable of providing financial leverage. More specifically,the combination of these two segments provides a variety of business advantages including the following:·Cinema Anchor Tenancy. Cinemas can be used as anchors for larger retail developments (referred to as entertainment-themedcenters, or “ETCs”), and our involvement in the cinema business can give us an advantage over other real estate developers orredevelopers who must identify and negotiate with third party anchor tenants. We have used cinemas to create our own anchors atour five (5) ETCs.·Reduced Pressure to Deliver Cinema Business Growth. Pure cinema operators can encounter financial difficulty as demands uponthem to produce cinema-based earnings growth tempt them into reinvesting their cash flow into increasingly marginal cinemasites, overpaying for existing cinemas or entering into high-rent leases. While we believe that there will continue to be attractiveopportunities to acquire cinema assets and/or to develop upper-end specialty type theaters in the future, we do not feel pressure tobuild or acquire cinemas for the sake of adding units or building gross cinema revenues. This strategy has, over the years, allowedus to acquire cinemas at multiples of trailing theater cash flow below those paid by third parties in recent acquisitions. We intendto focus our use of cash flow on our real estate development and operating activities, to the extent that attractive cinemaopportunities are not available to us or that such funds are not needed for reinvestment to maintain our cinemas in a competitiveposition. In 2018, we invested approximately $24.0 million in the upgrading and repositioning of our historic cinema assets oradding new cinemas, and approximately $30.7 million in the acquisition or development of our non-cinema real estate assets.·Flexibility in Property Use. We are always open to the idea of converting an entertainment property to another use, if there is ahigher and better use for the property, or to sell individual assets if an attractive opportunity presents itself. Our Union Squareproperty, which is in the final stages of redevelopment was initially acquired as an entertainment property.Insofar as we are aware, we are the only publicly traded company in the world to apply this two-track, synergistic approach to the cinemaand real estate development businesses on an international basis. None of the major cinema exhibition companies (other than MarcusTheatres) have any material landholdings as they operate predominantly on a leased-facility model.Business Mix and Impact of Foreign Currency FluctuationsWe have worked to maintain a balance both between our cinema and real estate assets and between our U.S. and our Australian and NewZealand assets. In 2018, we invested approximately $40.6 million in our U.S. assets: $23.4 million for the development of our real estateassets (principally construction of our Union Square property) and $17.2 million for the improvements of our cinema assets (principallyupgrading our offerings at our existing cinemas). We invested approximately $12.3 million in our Australian assets: $6.4 million for thedevelopment of our real estate assets (principally at our Auburn (Sydney) shopping centers), and $6.0 million for the development of ourcinema assets (principally renovations of our cinemas at Auburn, Elizabeth, and Charlestown and the upgrade of certain other cinemas).

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.real estate assets (principally towards the redevelopment of our Courtenay Central assets), and approximately $817,000 for thedevelopment of cinema assets (principally upgrades). As shown in the chart set forth the International Business Risks section below, exchange rates for the currencies of these jurisdictions havevaried, sometimes materially. These ratios naturally have an impact on our revenues and asset values, which are reported in USD. Notwithstanding these fluctuations, we continue to believe that, over the long term, operating in Australia and New Zealand is a prudentdiversification of risk. Australia has been identified by the United Nations as among the Top 10 countries in the World in terms of naturalresources per person. Deutsche Bank has twice named Wellington the best place in the world to live. In 2013, the Organization forEconomic Co-operation and Development rated Australia as the best place to live and work in the world. In our view, the economies ofAustralian and New Zealand are stable economies and their lifestyles support our entertainment/lifestyle focus.At December 31, 2018, the book value of our assets was $439.0 million, and, as of that same date, we had a consolidated stockholders’ bookequity of $180.5 million. Calculated based on book value, $138.9 million, or 32% of our assets, relate to our cinema exhibition activitiesand $263.8 million, or 60%, of our assets, relate to our real estate activities. For additional segment financial information, please see Note 1 – Description of Business and Segment Reporting to our 2018 consolidatedfinancial statements. We have diversified our assets among three countries: the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Based on book value, at December 31,2018, we had approximately 50% of our assets in the United States, 36% in Australia and 14% in New Zealand compared to 45%, 40%, and15% respectively, at the end of 2017. This increase in U.S. assets is principally due to our investments in the redevelopment of UnionSquare and the upgrades to our domestic cinema assets, as well as the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Australianand the New Zealand dollar.At December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.1 million, which are treated as a corporate assets. Our cash included$7.6 million denominated in U.S. dollars, $3.5 million (AU $4.9 million) in Australian dollars, and $2.0 million (NZ$3.0 million) in NewZealand dollars. We had total worldwide non-current assets of $408.7 million, distributed as follows: $203.8 million in the United States,$147.4 million (AU$209.2 million) in Australia and $57.5 million (NZ$85.7 million) in New Zealand. We had $55.6 unused capacity ofavailable and unrestricted corporate credit facilities at December 31, 2018.For 2018, our gross revenues in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand were $165.8 million, $111.7 million, and $31.9 million,respectively, compared to $143.8 million, $106.5 million, and $29.7 million for 2017. All three countries posted revenue increases in 2018as a result of higher cinema attendance in all three of our circuits. - 15 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Gravatt, Queensland managed by Event Cinemas.(2)The Company is a 50% joint venture partner in two (2) New Zealand Rialto cinemas. We are responsible for the booking of these cinemas and our jointventure partner, Event Cinemas, manages their day-to-day operations.(3)Our New York statistics include one (1) managed cinema.In January of 2019, we acquired our first cinema in Tasmania, a well-established 4 screen cinema (with liquor license) in Devonport,bringing our current cinema count up to 60. In addition, as of today, we have entered into four lease agreements, providing for thedevelopment of an additional 25 state-of-the-art screens. While no assurances can be given, the completion of these four new complexes isanticipated to increase our cinema count to 64 before the end of 2021.We continue to focus on upgrading our existing cinemas and developing new cinema opportunities to provide our customers with premiumofferings, including luxury seating, state-of-the-art presentation including sound, lounges, cafés and bar service, and other amenities. Since2017 and continuing through 2018, we increased the number of auditoriums featuring recliner seating from 58 to 136. In addition, weadded large format TITAN XC or LUXE screen offerings to 18 of our cinemas. Our circuit has been completely converted to digitalprojection and sound systems. In 2018, we upgraded two of our auditoriums to feature Dolby ATMOS sound which we consider to be thebest in the industry at this time.Attendance and gross box office was significantly higher for the exhibition industry in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand for 2018,compared to 2017. We believe that the cinema exhibition business will continue to generate increasing cash flows in the years ahead, evenin recessionary or inflationary environments, because people will continue to spend a reasonable portion of their entertainment dollars onentertainment outside of the home. When compared to other forms of outside-the-home entertainment, movies continue to be a popular andcompetitively priced option. We believe that the advent of an array of streaming and mobile video services is a threat to traditional in-home forms of entertainment (such as traditional cable and satellite providers), the creation of new sources of program production willultimately be beneficial to our industry, as cinema exhibition becomes an increasingly important point of differentiation for the marketingof such product.Recognizing that the cinema exhibition business is considered a mature business, we continue to see growth opportunities in our cinemaexhibition business principally from (i) the enhancement of our existing cinemas, (ii) the development in select markets of art and specialtycinemas, (iii) the development of new state-of-the-art cinemas on land that we already own or may in the future acquire, and (iv) thedevelopment of new mainstream cinemas in selected markets.

Our philosophy is not one of growth at any cost and our goal isnot to have more screens than anyone else. Rather, our goal is to have high quality, consistently grossing cinemas, and to grow on a steadyand sustainable basis. During 2018, we continued working on the refurbishment of several of our cinema locations including Manville andMililani in the U.S., and Charlestown, Elizabeth, and Auburn in the Australia and New Zealand circuits. At the end of 2017, we opened anew cinema at our Newmarket Village Shopping Center in Brisbane, Australia, and re-opened our Cal Oaks cinema, located in Murrieta,California which now features our new “Spotlight” level of service in 6 out of the 17 auditoriums. “Spotlight” puts focus directly on ourcustomers by providing an in-auditorium, waitered, enhanced F&B experience for their enjoyment. We also upgraded 54 of our screens toluxury seating and extended our enhanced food offerings to 25 of our cinemas in 2017. In 2016, we opened an eight-screen, state-of-the-artcinema, branded Olino by Consolidated Theatres, our ninth theatre and first to break ground since 2001 in the state of Hawaii. In 2015, weopened a new state-of-the-art cinema (eight screens) in Auckland, New Zealand, completed the renovation and rebranding as an “Angelika”luxury art cinema of our conventional cinema at the Carmel Mountain Plaza in San Diego, California, completely renovated our fourteen-screen Harbourtown cinema in Queensland, Australia, and added the first IMAX screen to our circuit.Since 2015, we have consistently executed our strategic priority of upgrading the food and beverage menu at a number of our U.S. cinemas.We are focused on the renovation and upgrading of our existing U.S. cinemas, along the lines of our Carmel Mountain cinema. Workingwith Bruce Seidel (veteran Food Network executive) of Hot Lemon Productions and chef Santos Loo, we are continuing to upgrade ourfood and beverage offerings. During 2017, we created our “Spotlight” service concept, which we implemented at our Cal Oaks cinemaduring 2018. At year-end 2018, we currently have beer and wine, and in some cases liquor, licenses for 14 of our venues in the U.S. and arein the application process for an additional 5 venues. As a result we are currently offering alcoholic beverages at 12 of our U.S. cinemas andtwo of our live theatres. In our international cinema operations, we offer alcoholic beverages for 11 of our cinemas in Australia and five ofour cinemas in New Zealand (which includes the joint ventures).Operating InformationAt December 31, 2018, our principal tangible assets included:·interests in 59 cinemas comprising some 478 screens;·fee interests in three live theaters (the Orpheum and Minetta Lane in Manhattan and the Royal George in Chicago);·fee interest in one cinema (the Cinemas 1,2,3), in New York City;·fee interests in two cinemas in Australia (Bundaberg and Maitland) and four cinemas in New Zealand (Dunedin, Invercargill,Napier and Rotorua);·fee interest in our Union Square property, previously used by us as a live theater venue and for rental to third parties and now inthe final stages of redevelopment for retail and office uses;·our ETCs in Sydney (Redyard Center), Brisbane (Newmarket Village Center), Townsville (Cannon Park), Perth (Belmont) andWellington (Courtenay Central), each of which includes a Reading Cinema;·fee interest in 70.4 acres of developable land located between Auckland and the airport, zoned for light industrial and heavyindustrial purposes;·a 50% interest in a special purpose entity holding the fee interest in 202 acres of developable land located in Coachella, Californiazoned for residential and mixed use purposes;·fee interest in 2 office buildings, our corporate office in Culver City, Los Angeles as well as an office in Melbourne, Australia.Both buildings are mixed use assets, housing our corporate staff with any surplus space rented, or available to rent to third parties;·in addition to the fee interests described immediately above, fee ownership of approximately 20.7million square feet of developedand undeveloped real estate in the United States, Australia and New Zealand; and·cash and cash equivalents, aggregating $13.1 million.Although we operate cinemas in three jurisdictions, the general nature of our operations and operating strategies does not vary materiallyfrom jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction. In each jurisdiction, our gross receipts are primarily from box office receipts, food and beverage sales, andscreen advertising. Our ancillary revenue is created principally from theater rentals (for example, for film festivals and special events), andancillary programming (such as concerts and sporting events).Our cinemas generated approximately 64% of their 2018 revenue from box office receipts. Ticket prices vary by location, and in selectedlocations we offer reduced rates for senior citizens, children and, in certain markets, military and students.- 17 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Show times and features are placed in advertisements on our various websites, on internet sites and, in some markets, in local newspapers.We are increasing our presence in social media, thereby, reducing our dependency on print advertising. Film distributors may alsoadvertise certain feature films in various print, radio and television media, as well as on the internet, and distributors generally pay thosecosts.F&B sales accounted for approximately 29% of our total 2018 cinema revenue. Although certain cinemas have licenses for the sale and on-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages, historically F&B products have been primarily popcorn, candy, and soda. This is changing,as more of our theaters are offering expanded food and beverage offerings. One of our strategic focuses is to upgrade our existing cinemaswith expanded F&B offerings.Screen advertising and other revenue contribute approximately 7% of our total 2018 cinema revenue. With the exception of certain rightsthat we have retained to sell to local advertisers, generally speaking, we are not in the screen advertising business and nationallyrecognized screen-advertising companies’ contract with us for the right to show such advertising on our screens.Management of CinemasWith the exception of our three unconsolidated cinemas, we manage our cinemas with executives located in Los Angeles and Manhattan inthe U.S.; Melbourne, Australia; and Wellington, New Zealand. Our two New Zealand Rialto cinemas are owned by a joint venture in whichReading New Zealand is a 50% joint venture partner. While we assist in the booking of these two cinemas, our joint venture partner, EventCinemas, manages their day-to-day operations. In addition, we have a passive one-third interest in a 16-screen Brisbane cinema managedby Event Cinemas.Licensing and PricingFilm product is available from a variety of sources, ranging from the major film distributors, such as Paramount Pictures, Twentieth CenturyFox, Warner Bros, Buena Vista Pictures (Disney), Sony Pictures Releasing, Universal Pictures and Lionsgate, to a variety of smallerindependent film distributors. In Australia and New Zealand, some of those major distributors distribute through local unaffiliateddistributors. Worldwide, the major film distributors dominate the market for mainstream conventional films. In the U.S., art and specialtyfilm is distributed through the art and specialty divisions of these major distributors, such as Fox Searchlight and Sony Pictures Classics,and through independent distributors such as A24. Film payment terms are generally based upon an agreed-upon percentage of box officereceipts that will vary from film-to-film.Competition Film is allocated by the applicable distributor among competitive cinemas. Accordingly, from time-to-time, we may be unable to licenseevery film that we desire to play. In the Australian and New Zealand markets, we generally have access to all film product in the market.Competition for films may be intense, depending upon the number of cinemas in a particular competitive market. Our ability to obtain topgrossing first run feature films may be adversely impacted by our comparatively small size, and the limited number of screens and marketsthat we can supply to distributors. Moreover, because of the dramatic consolidation of screens into the hands of a few very large andpowerful exhibitors such as Cineworld (the new owners of Regal), AMC (including the newly acquired Carmike), Cinemark, and GalaxyCinemas, who control 64% of the North American market, these mega-exhibition companies are in a position to offer distributors access tomany more screens in major markets than we can. Also, the majors have a significant number of markets where they operate withoutmaterial competition, meaning that the distributors have no alternative exhibitor for their films in these markets. Accordingly, distributorsmay decide to give preference to these mega-exhibitors when it comes to licensing top-grossing films, rather than deal with independentssuch as ourselves. The situation is different in Australia and New Zealand, where typically every major multiplex cinema has access to all ofthe film currently in distribution, regardless of the ownership of that multiplex cinema. However, on the reverse side, we have sufferedsomewhat in these markets from competition from boutique operators, who are able to book top grossing commercial films for limited runs,thus increasing competition for customers wishing to view such top grossing films.The availability of state-of-the-art technology and/or luxury seating can also be a factor in the preference of one cinema over another. Inrecent periods, a number of cinemas have opened or re-opened featuring luxury seating and/or expanded food and beverage service,including the sale of alcoholic beverages and food served to the seat. We have, for a number of years, offered alcoholic beverages in certainof our Australia and New Zealand cinemas and at certain of our Angelika Film Centers in the U.S. We are currently working to upgrade theseating and food and beverage offerings (including the offering of alcoholic beverages) at a number of our existing cinemas. We now offeralcoholic beverages at 28 of our worldwide cinemas.The film exhibition markets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand are to a certain extent dominated by a limited number ofmajor exhibition companies. The principal exhibitors in the United States are AMC (with 11,247 screens in 1,027 cinemas, which includesthe information of newly acquired Carmike), Regal (with 7,315 screens in 561 cinemas), recently acquired by Cineworld- 18 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

As of December 31, 2018, we were the 11thlargest exhibitor with 1% of the box office in the United States with 245 screens in 27 cinemas under management.The principal exhibitors in Australia are Greater Union, which does business under the Event Cinemas name (a subsidiary of AmalgamatedHoldings Limited) (“Event”), Hoyts Cinemas (“Hoyts”), and Village Cinemas (“Village”). The major exhibitors control approximately 78%of the total cinema box office: Event 43%, Hoyts 22%, and Village 13%. Event has 566 screens nationally, Hoyts 354 screens, and Village210 screens. By comparison, our 149 screens (excluding any partnership theaters) represent approximately 7% of the total box office.The principal exhibitors in New Zealand are Event Cinemas with 116 screens nationally and Hoyts with 70 screens. Reading has 54 screens(excluding its interest in unconsolidated joint ventures). The major exhibitors in New Zealand control approximately 52% of the total boxoffice: Event 31% and Hoyts 21%. Reading has 16% of the market (Event and Reading market share figures exclude any partnershiptheaters) and we were the third largest exhibitor in New Zealand.In Australia and New Zealand, the industry is somewhat vertically integrated in that Roadshow Film Distributors, a subsidiary of Village,serves as a distributor of film in Australia and New Zealand for Warner Brothers.Many of our competitors have substantial financial resources which could allow them to operate in a more competitive manner than us.In-Home, Streaming and Mobile Device CompetitionThe “in-home,” streaming and mobile device entertainment industry has experienced significant leaps in recent periods in both the qualityand affordability of in-home and mobile device entertainment systems and in the accessibility to, and quality of, entertainmentprogramming through cable, satellite, internet distribution channels, and Blu-ray/DVD. The success of these alternative distributionchannels and the entrance of new sources of product (like Netflix and Amazon) who are producing product competitive with films producedfor theatrical release puts additional pressure on film distributors to reduce and/or eliminate the time period between theatrical andsecondary release dates. With the acquisition of Fox, Disney is now poised to enter this market.To a certain extent, it appears that consumers are willing to choose convenience over presentation quality. We are responding to thischallenge generally by increasing the comfort and service levels available at our cinemas, by offering convenient on-line ticketreservations services with guaranteed seating, by investing in larger screens and enhanced audio, by offering more specialized andalternative product to our audiences and by providing value for the movie goer’s dollar. We are focusing on the fact that going to themovies is a social experience, and we are working to make that experience the best that it can be. Also, that we must differentiate ourselvesfrom other forms of video entertainment by emphasizing the special nature of seeing video presentations in a cinema environment and bydeveloping ways to position ourselves to take advantage in the increased output of film and feature product. These are issues common toboth our U.S. and international cinema operations. Competitive issues are discussed in detail under the caption, Item 1A – Risk Factors.SeasonalityMajor films are generally released to coincide with holidays. With the exception of Christmas and New Year’s Days, this fact provides somebalancing of our revenue because there is no material overlap between holidays in the United States and those in Australia and NewZealand. Distributors will delay, in certain cases, releases in Australia and New Zealand to take advantage of Australian and New Zealandholidays that are not celebrated in the United States. However, the deferral of releases is becoming increasingly less common, given theneed to address internet and other channels of distribution that operate on a worldwide basis. REAL ESTATEOverallWe engage in real estate development and the ownership and rental or licensing to third parties of retail, commercial and live theater assets.We own the fee interests in all of our live theaters, and in 12 of our cinemas (as presented in the preceding table within the “CinemaExhibition” section). Our real estate business creates long-term value for our stockholders through the continuous improvement anddevelopment of our investment and operating properties, including our ETCs.Our real estate activities have historically consisted principally of:·the ownership of fee or long-term leasehold interests in properties used in our cinema exhibition activities or which were acquiredfor the development of cinemas or cinema-based real estate development projects;·the acquisition of fee interests in land for general real estate development;·the licensing to production companies of our live theaters; and- 19 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Over 2016 and 2017, we added 25,635 square feet of newly constructed net rentable space to our existing ETCs (calculated exclusive ofcinema space), of which 24,924 square feet has been rented.In light of the geographic reach of our business, and the highly localized nature of the real estate business, we have historically made use ofthird party contractors to provide on-site management of our real estate development and management activities. We have begun, however,in recent periods to selectively build our internal resources in this regard, concentrating on Australia and New Zealand where we haveincreased our overall real estate team from 3 to 7 full time employees over the last 3 years.In 2016, we began the construction phase of the redevelopment of our Union Square property into approximately 73,322 square feet of netleasable area (inclusive of anticipated BOMA adjustments), comprised of retail and office space. While no assurances can be given, wecurrently anticipate that the building will be ready for the commencement of the construction of tenant improvements during the secondquarter of 2019. We are currently negotiating, on an exclusive basis, leases representing approximately 90% of the net leasable area of thebuilding. A short video on this project can be seen at www.44unionsquare.com.Regarding our Cinemas 1,2,3 property in Manhattan, we have received the consent of the 25% minority member of the ownership entity forthe redevelopment of the property. We are evaluating the potential to redevelop the property as a mixed use property. While we are stilltalking with the owner of the adjacent property about a possible joint venture development, we have not been able to come to an agreementas to the terms of that joint venture. Accordingly, we have shifted our strategic plan with respect to that property and have commenced themaster-planning for a go-it-alone development. The Cinemas 1,2,3, is a cash flowing contributor to our domestic cinema operations. OnAugust 31, 2016, we secured a new three-year mortgage loan ($20.0 million) with Valley National Bank, with a one year option to extendthrough August 31, 2020, the proceeds of which were used to repay the then existing mortgage on the property, and to repay certain inter-company indebtedness, and for working capital purposes. On April 11, 2016, we purchased for $11.2 million a 24,000 square foot office building with 72 parking spaces located at 5995 SepulvedaBoulevard in Culver City, California. We currently use approximately 50% of the leasable area for our headquarters offices and endeavorto lease the remainder to unaffiliated third parties. Culver City has in recent years developed as a center of entertainment and high-techactivity in Los Angeles County. We moved into the building in February, 2017, and have obtained $8.4 million in financing on theproperty pursuant to a 10-year, fixed rate mortgage loan at an interest rate of 4.64% per annum and in June 2017 we obtained an additional$1.5 million in financing due to a reappraisal of the property, at an interest rate of 4.44%. Currently, we own essentially all of the officespace from which we conduct our executive and administrative operations. All of our leasehold interests are cinema operating properties.All of our leasehold interests are cinema operating properties.Overseas, on December 23, 2015, we acquired two adjoining properties in Townsville, Queensland, Australia for a total of $24.1 million(AU$33.4 million) comprising approximately 5.6 acres. The total gross leasable area of the two properties, the Cannon Park City Centre andthe Cannon Park Discount Centre, is 133,000 square feet. Our multiplex cinema at the Cannon Park City Centre is the anchor tenant of thatcenter. This acquisition is consistent with our business plan to own, where practical, the land underlying our entertainment assets. Weoperate these two (2) properties as a single ETC. This acquisition was funded internally. For additional information, see Note 4 – RealEstate Transactions. We continue to work on the expansion and upgrading of our Auburn/Redyard in Sydney, Australia and Newmarket Village in Brisbane,Australia and to master-plan the expansion and enhancement of our Cannon Park ETC in Townsville, Australia through the expansion orimprovement of our Reading Cinemas at each of these centres and additional food and beverage focused space.At Auburn/RedYard, since the beginning of 2016, we have constructed and entered into leases representing approximately 15,000 squarefeet of additional retail space, which increased the square footage of that center from approximately 117,000 to approximately 132,000square feet. Of this 15,000 square feet, 9,600 square feet was completed in 2016, and the remaining 5,900 square feet was completed in Q42017. In 2018, we acquired a 20,870 square foot in-fill property, currently improved with a 16,830 square foot office building, leased toTelstra through July 2022. This increased our frontage on Parramatta Road to 1,620 of uninterrupted square feet. The center is nowcomprised of 519,992 square feet of land, 75,492 square feet of retail improvements, surface parking for 367 vehicles and subterraneanparking for 727 vehicles and is 83% leased. The center also has approximately 10,586 square foot of additional land available fordevelopment. This expansion was funded internally.At Newmarket Village, we added a state-of-the art eight-screen Reading Cinema, 10,150 square feet of additional retail space and 124additional parking spaces. On November 30, 2015, we acquired an approximately 23,000 square foot parcel adjacent to our tenant Colessupermarket. This property is currently improved with an office building, which is now fully leased. These leases have early developmentprovisions allowing us to terminate these arrangements in connection with a redevelopment of the property. We intend to ultimatelydemolish this office building and to integrate this parcel into Newmarket Village. This will increase our Newmarket- 20 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Our Newmarket Village project wasfunded internally and is currently approximately 98% leased.Located in the heart of Wellington – New Zealand’s capital city – this center is comprised of 161,071 square feet of land situated proximateto the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum (attracting over 1.5 million visitors annually), across the street from the site of Wellington’s newlyannounced convention center (estimated to open its doors in 2022) and at a major public transit hub. Damage from the 2016 earthquakenecessitated demolition of our nine-story parking garage at the site, and unrelated seismic issues have caused us to close portions of theexisting cinema and retail structure while we reevaluate the center for redevelopment as an entertainment themed urban center with a majorfood and grocery component. Wellington continues to be rated as one of the top cities in the world in which to live, and we continue to believe that the CourtenayCentral site is located in one of the most vibrant and growing commercial and entertainment sections of Wellington.In addition to certain historic railroad properties (such as our 6.8 acre Viaduct Property in downtown Philadelphia and certain adjacentcommercial properties) and certain expansion space associated with our existing ETCs, we have two unimproved properties that weacquired for, and are currently being held for, development: (i) our 50% interest in a 202-acre parcel in Coachella, California (near thegrounds where the Coachella Music Festival is held), currently zoned for residential and mixed-use uses, and (ii) our 70.4–acre parcel inManukau, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand (located adjacent to the Auckland Airport) currently zoned for a mixture of light and heavyindustrial uses.Our Coachella property was acquired as a long term land hold in a foreclosure auction by the Resolution Trust Corporation as the liquidatorof the lender with the first mortgage on the property. The zoning has been established and the property freed of a burdensomedevelopment agreement. We are monitoring developments in the area, and believe that this property is likely a candidate forsale. Development activity in the vicinity appears to be strengthening. In 2016, the Auckland City Council revised the zoning of the agricultural portion of our property in Manukau (approximately 64.0 acres)to light industrial uses. The remaining 6.4 acres of our Manukau property were already zoned for heavy industrial use. Light industrialuses include certain manufacturing, production, logistic, transportation, warehouse and wholesale distribution activities and, on anancillary basis, certain office, retail and educational uses. Now that our zoning enhancement goal has been achieved, we are working withother major landowners in the area on the development of a master plan for the construction of needed infrastructure works, while wecontinue to develop our long range plans for the property.While we report our real estate as a separate segment, it has historically operated as an integral portion of our overall business and,historically, has principally been in support of that business. We have, however, acquired or developed certain properties that do notcurrently have any cinema or other entertainment component.Our real estate activities, holdings and developments are described in greater detail in Item 2 – Properties. EMPLOYEESAs of December 31, 2018, we had 104 full-time executive and administrative employees, 113 live theatre employees, 8 Real Estateemployees and 2,719 cinema employees. A small number of our cinema employees in New Zealand are union members, as are ourprojectionists in Hawaii. None of our Australian-based employees or other employees are subject to union contracts. Overall, we are of theview that the existence of these collective-bargaining agreements does not materially increase our costs of labor or our ability to compete.FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTSOur statements in this annual report, including the documents incorporated herein by reference, contain a variety of forward-lookingstatements as defined by the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Set forth below is a summary of various risk factors that you should consider in connection withyour investment in our Company. This summary should be considered in the context of our overall Annual Report on Form 10-K, as manyof the topics addressed below, and our plans to address or mitigate the risks involved, are discussed in significantly greater detail in thecontext of specific discussions of our business plan, our operating results, and the various competitive forces that we face.BUSINESS RISK FACTORSWe are currently engaged principally in the cinema exhibition and real estate businesses. Because we operate in two business segments(cinema exhibition and real estate), we discuss separately below the risks we believe to be material to our involvement in each of thesesegments. We have discussed separately certain risks relating to the international nature of our business activities, our use of leverage, andour status as a controlled corporation. Please note that, while we report the results of our live theater operations as real estate operations –because we are principally in the business of renting space to producers rather than in producing plays ourselves – the cinema exhibitionand live theater businesses share certain risk factors and are, accordingly, discussed together below.Cinema Exhibition and Live Theater Business Risk FactorsWe operate in a highly competitive environment with many competitors who are significantly larger and may have significantly betteraccess to funds than we do. We are a comparatively small cinema operator and face competition from much larger cinemaexhibitors. These larger exhibitors are able to offer distributors more screens in more markets – including markets where they may be theexclusive exhibitor – than can we. Faced with such competition, we may not be able to get access to all of the films we want, which mayadversely affect our revenue and profitability. While we are concerned about the use of larger competitors of national and internationalbooking power to limit our access to film, there is little we can do to mitigate this risk as antitrust litigation is very expensive and typicallylong lived. While several private lawsuits are currently pending challenging the practice of certain competitors to prevent or limit theiraccess to film product, these are private lawsuits. We have no control over the prosecution of such lawsuits or the terms on which they maybe privately resolved or settled. While several distributors have announced that they will generally provide access of film to all who desireit, this practice is not universal. Also, for major films, the terms of exhibition as a practical matter limited the competitors who couldexhibit the film. This competitive disadvantage has been, in our view, exacerbated in recent periods with the further concentration of thecinema exhibition industry, for example, Cineworld Group Plc’s acquisition of Regal Entertainment Group and Dalian Wanda’sacquisition of AMC Entertainment, which has now acquired Carmike Cinemas, Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group and Nordic Cinema Group.These larger competitors may also enjoy (i) greater cash flow, which can be used to develop additional cinemas, including cinemas thatmay be competitive with our existing cinemas, (ii) better access to equity capital and debt, (iii) better visibility to landlords and real estatedevelopers, and (iv) better economies of scale than us.In the case of our live theaters, we compete for shows not only with other “for profit” Off-Broadway theaters, but also with “not-for-profit”operators and, increasingly, with Broadway theaters. We believe our live theaters are generally competitive with other Off-Broadwayvenues. However, due to the increased cost of staging live theater productions, we are seeing an increasing tendency for plays that wouldhistorically have been staged in an Off-Broadway theater moving directly to larger Broadway venues. In 2016, we closed our principal livetheater in New York, the Union Square incident to our redevelopment of that property.We face competition from other sources of entertainment and other entertainment delivery systems. Both our cinema and live theateroperations face competition from “in-home” and mobile device sources of entertainment. These include competition from network, cableand satellite television, internet streaming video services, Video on Demand, Blu-ray/DVD, the internet, video games and other sources ofentertainment. The quality of “in-home” and mobile entertainment systems, as well as programming available on an in-home and mobilebasis, has increased, while the cost to consumers of such systems (and such programming) has decreased in recent periods, and someconsumers may prefer the security and/or convenience of an “in-home” or mobile entertainment experience to the more public andpresentation oriented experience offered by our cinemas and live theaters. Film distributors have been responding to these developmentsby, in some cases, decreasing or eliminating the period of time between cinema release and the date such product is made available to “in-home” or mobile forms of distribution. The competitive pressure from streaming video may increase as a result of the acquisition of Fox byDisney.In order to compete with these in-home and mobile forms of distribution, it is likely that we will make material capital improvements to ourcinemas to increase the amenities and quality of presentation delivered. It may also be necessary to reduce admission prices.There is the risk that, over time, distributors may move towards simultaneous release of motion picture product in multiple channels ofdistribution. Also, some traditional in-home and mobile distributors have begun the production of full-length movies, specifically for thepurpose of direct or simultaneous release to the in-home and mobile markets. These factors may adversely affect the competitive advantageenjoyed by cinemas over “in-home” and mobile forms of entertainment, as it may be that the cinema market and the “in-home” and mobilemarkets will have simultaneous access to the same motion picture product. In recent times, a number of movies- 24 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.were released on a simultaneous basis to movie exhibitors and to in-home and mobile markets. It is likely that this trend will continue,making it, in our view, increasingly important for exhibitors to enhance the convenience and quality of the theater-going experience. Thiscan require substantial capital outlays and increased labor expense, which exhibitors may not be able to fully pass on to theircustomers. Also, the amount of programming (including without limitation, the live streaming of sporting, theatrical and political events)available on an “in-home” and mobile basis continues to increase.The narrowing and/or elimination of this so-called “window” for cinema exhibition may be problematic for the cinema exhibitionindustry. However, to date, attempts by the major film distributors to continue to narrow or eliminate the window have been strenuouslyresisted by the cinema exhibition industry, and we view the total elimination of the cinema exhibition window by major film distributors,while theoretically possible, to be unlikely.We also face competition from various other forms of “beyond-the-home” entertainment, including sporting events, concerts, restaurants,casinos, video game arcades, and nightclubs. Our cinemas also face competition from live theaters and vice versa. Also, social mediaofferings – such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat – appear to be commanding increasing portions of the recreational time of ourpotential audience.Our cinema and live theater businesses may be vulnerable to fears of terrorism and random shooter incidents which could causecustomers to avoid public assembly seating, and natural disasters. Political events, such as terrorist attacks, random shooter incidents andhealth-related epidemics, such as flu outbreaks, could cause patrons to avoid our cinemas or other public places where large crowds are inattendance. In addition, a natural disaster, such as a typhoon or an earthquake, could impact our ability to operate certain of our cinemas,which could adversely affect our results of operations.Our cinema operations depend upon access to film and alternative entertainment product that is attractive to our patrons, and our livetheater operations depend upon the continued attractiveness of our theaters to producers. Our ability to generate revenue and profits islargely dependent on factors outside of our control, specifically, the continued ability of motion picture, alternative entertainment and livetheater producers to produce films, alternative entertainment and plays that are attractive to audiences, the amount of money spent by filmand alternative entertainment distributors and theatrical producers to promote their motion pictures, alternative entertainment and plays,and the willingness of these distributors and producers to license their films and alternative entertainment on terms that are financiallyviable to our cinemas and to rent our theaters for the presentation of their plays. To the extent that popular movies, alternativeentertainment and plays are produced, our cinema and live theater activities are ultimately dependent upon our ability, in the face ofcompetition from other cinema and live theater operators to book such movies, alternative entertainment and plays into our facilities, andto provide a superior customer offering.Distribution of film is in the discretion of the film distribution companies. Accordingly, we are at risk that the distributors may not give usall of the film we request.Adverse economic conditions could materially affect our business by reducing discretionary income and by limiting or reducing sourcesof film and live theater funding. Cinema and live theater attendance is a luxury, not a necessity. Furthermore, consumer demand for betterand better amenities and food offerings have resulted in an increase of the cost of a night at the movies. Accordingly, a decline in theeconomy resulting in a decrease in discretionary income, or a perception of such a decline, may result in decreased discretionary spending,which could adversely affect our cinema and live theater businesses. Adverse economic conditions can also affect the supply side of ourbusiness, as reduced liquidity can adversely affect the availability of funding for movies and plays. This is particularly true in the case ofOff-Broadway plays, which are often times financed by high net worth individuals (or groups of such individuals) and that are very riskydue to the absence of any ability to recoup investment in secondary markets like Blu-ray/DVD, cable, satellite or internet distribution.Our screen advertising or auditorium leasing revenue may decline. Over the past several years, cinema exhibitors have been lookingincreasingly to screen advertising and auditorium leasing as a way to improve income. No assurances can be given that this source ofincome will be continuing, or that the use of screen advertising will not ultimately prove to be counterproductive, by giving consumers adisincentive to choose going to the movies over “in-home” or mobile entertainment alternatives.We face uncertainty as to the timing and direction of technological innovations in the cinema exhibition business and as to our access tothose technologies. We have converted all of our cinema auditoriums to digital projection. However, no assurances can be given that othertechnological advances will not require us to make further material investments in our cinemas or face loss of business. Also, equipment iscurrently being developed for holographic or laser projection. The future of these technologies in the cinema exhibition industry isuncertain.We face competition from competitors offering food and beverage and luxury seating as an integral part of their cinema offerings. Anumber of our competitors offering an expanded food and beverage menu (including the sale of alcoholic beverages) and luxury seating,have emerged in recent periods. In addition, some competitors such as AMC are converting existing cinemas to provide such expandedmenu offerings and in-theater dining options. The existence of such cinemas may alter traditional cinema selection practices of moviegoers,as they seek out cinemas with such expanded offerings as a preferred alternative to traditional cinemas. In order to- 25 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.compete with these new cinemas, the Company has begun to materially increase its capital expenditures to add such features to many ofour cinemas and to take on additional and more highly trained (and, consequently, compensated) staff. Also, the conversion to luxuryseating typically requires a material reduction in the number of seats that an auditorium can accommodate which may translate into fewermovie tickets being sold.Our failure to obtain and maintain liquor licenses at any of our cinemas could adversely affect our business, results of operations orfinancial condition. Each of our cinemas offering beer and wine, and in some cases liquor, is subject to licensing and regulation by thealcoholic beverage control agency in the state, county and municipality in which the cinema is located. Each cinema is required to obtain alicense to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises from a state authority and, in certain locations, county and municipal authorities.Typically, licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic beverage controlregulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operations of each store, including minimum age of patrons and employees, hours ofoperation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and handling and storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. Thefailure to receive or retain a liquor license, or any other required permit or license, in a particular location, or to continue to qualify for, orrenew licenses, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, our ability to attract patrons, and our ability to obtain such a liquorlicense in other locations.We may be subject to increased labor and benefits costs generally. We are subject to laws governing such matters as minimum wages,working conditions and overtime. As minimum wage rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wages of our minimum wageemployees, but also the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above minimum wage. Labor shortages, increased employeeturnover and health care mandates could also increase our labor costs. This in turn could lead us to increase prices which could impact oursales. Conversely, if competitive pressures or other factors prevent us from offsetting increased labor costs by increases in prices, our resultsof operations may be adversely impacted.Cyber security threats and our failure to protect our electronically stored data could adversely affect our business. We store and maintainelectronic information and data necessary to conduct our business. Data maintained in electronic form is subject to the risk of intrusion,tampering and theft. While we have adopted industry-accepted security measures and technology to protect the confidential andproprietary information, the development and maintenance of these systems is costly and require ongoing monitoring and updating astechnologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. As such, we may be unable to anticipate andimplement adequate preventive measures in time. This may adversely affect our business, including exposure to government enforcementactions and private litigation, and our reputation with our customers and employees may be injured. In addition to Company-specific cyberthreats or attacks, our business and results of operations could also be impacted by breaches affecting our peers and partners within theentertainment industry, as well as other retail companies.Real Estate Development and Ownership Business RisksWe operate in a highly competitive environment in which we must compete against companies with much greater financial and humanresources than we have. We have limited financial and human resources, compared to our principal real estate competitors. In recentperiods, we have relied heavily on outside professionals in connection with our real estate development activities. Many of ourcompetitors have significantly greater resources and may be able to achieve greater economies of scale than we can. Given our structure asa taxable corporation, our cost of capital is typically higher than other real estate investment vehicles such as real estate investment trusts.Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry GenerallyOur financial performance will be affected by risks associated with the real estate industry generally. Events and conditions generallyapplicable to developers, owners, and operators of real property will affect our performance as well. These include (i) changes in thenational, regional and local economic climate, (ii) local conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, commercialspace and/or entertainment-oriented properties, (iii) reduced attractiveness of our properties to tenants, (iv) the rental rates andcapitalization rates applicable to the markets in which we operate and the quality of properties that we own, (v) competition from otherproperties, (vi) inability to collect rent from tenants, (vii) increased operating costs, including labor, materials, real estate taxes, insurancepremiums, and utilities, (viii) costs of complying with changes in government regulations, (ix) the relative illiquidity of real estateinvestments, and (x) decreases in sources of both construction and long-term lending as traditional sources of such funding leave or reducetheir commitments to real estate-based lending. In addition, periods of rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate (for example,due to competition from internet sellers the demand for brick and mortar retail spaces may decline, and due to the increasing popularity oftele-commuting demand for traditional office space may decline), or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could resultin declining rents or increased lease defaults. Increasing cap rates can result in lower property values. Also, we have holdings in areas thatare subject to earthquake, storm and flooding risk.We may incur costs complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar laws. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act andsimilar statutory regimes in Australia and New Zealand or under applicable state or local law, all places of public accommodation(including cinemas and theaters) are required to meet certain governmental requirements related to access and use by persons withdisabilities. A determination that we are not in compliance with those governmental requirements with respect to any of- 26 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.our properties could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The cost of addressing these issues couldbe substantial. Illiquidity of real estate investments could impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties. Realestate investments are relatively illiquid and, therefore, tend to limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes ineconomic or other conditions. Many of our properties are either (i) “special purpose” properties that could not be readily converted togeneral residential, retail or office use, or (ii) undeveloped land. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated with real estateinvestment, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income fromthe investment, and competitive factors may prevent the pass-through of such costs to tenants.Real estate development involves a variety of risks. Real estate development involves a variety of risks, including the following:·The identification and acquisition of suitable development properties. Competition for suitable development properties is intense.Our ability to identify and acquire development properties may be limited by our size and resources. Also, as we and our affiliatesare considered to be “foreign owned” for purposes of certain Australian and New Zealand statutes, we have been in the past, andmay in the future be, subject to regulations that are not applicable to other persons doing business in those countries.·The procurement of necessary land use entitlements for the project. This process can take many years, particularly if opposed bycompeting interests. Competitors and community groups (sometimes funded by such competitors) may object based on variousfactors, including, for example, impacts on density, parking, traffic, noise levels and the historic or architectural nature of thebuilding being replaced. If they are unsuccessful at the local governmental level, they may seek recourse to the courts or othertribunals. This can delay projects and increase costs. ·The construction of the project on time and on budget. Construction risks include the availability and cost of financing; theavailability and costs of material and labor; the costs of dealing with unknown site conditions (including addressing pollution orenvironmental wastes deposited upon the property by prior owners); inclement weather conditions; and the ever-present potentialfor labor-related disruptions.·The leasing or sell-out of the project. Ultimately, there are risks involved in the leasing of a rental property or the sale of acondominium or built-for-sale property. For our ETCs, the extent to which our cinemas can continue to serve as an anchor tenantwill be influenced by the same factors as will influence generally the results of our cinema operations. Leasing or sale can beinfluenced by economic factors that are neither known nor knowable at the commencement of the development process and bylocal, national, and even international economic conditions, both real and perceived.·The refinancing of completed properties. Properties are often developed using relatively short-term loans. Upon completion ofthe project, it may be necessary to find replacement financing for these loans. This process involves risk as to the availability ofsuch permanent or other take-out financing, the interest rates, and the payment terms applicable to such financing, which may beadversely influenced by local, national, or international factors. The ownership of properties involves risk. The ownership of investment properties involves risks, such as: (i) ongoing leasing and re-leasing risks, (ii) ongoing financing and re-financing risks, (iii) market risks as to the multiples offered by buyers of investment properties,(iv) risks related to the ongoing compliance with changing governmental regulation (including, without limitation, environmental laws andrequirements to remediate environmental contamination that may exist on a property (such as, by way of example, asbestos), even thoughnot deposited on the property by us), (v) relative illiquidity compared to some other types of assets, and (vi) susceptibility of assets touninsurable risks, such as biological, chemical or nuclear terrorism, or risks that are subject to caps tied to the concentration of such assetsin certain geographic areas, such as earthquakes. Furthermore, as our properties are typically developed around an entertainment use, theattractiveness of these properties to tenants, sources of finance and real estate investors will be influenced by market perceptions of thebenefits and detriments of such entertainment-type properties.A number of our assets are in geologically active areas, presenting risk of earthquake and land movement. We have properties inCalifornia and New Zealand, areas that present a greater risk of earthquake and/or land movement than other locations. New Zealand has inrecent periods had several major earthquakes damaging our facilities in Christchurch and Wellington. The ability to insure for suchcasualties is limited and may become more difficult and/or more expensive in future periods.We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations. We own and operate a large number of cinemas and otherproperties within the U.S. and internationally, which may be subject to various foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relatingto the protection of the environment or human health. Such environmental laws and regulations include those that impose liability for theinvestigation and remediation of spills or releases of hazardous materials. We may incur such liability, including for any currently orformerly owned, leased or operated property, or for any site, to which we may have disposed, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardousmaterials or wastes. Certain of these laws and regulations may impose liability, including on a joint and several liability, which can result ina liable party being obliged to pay for greater than its share, regardless of fault or the legality of the- 27 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.original disposal. Environmental conditions relating to our properties or operations could have an adverse effect on our business and resultsof operations and cash flows.Legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change concerns may negatively impact our business. Recently,there has been an increasing focus and continuous debate on global climate change including increased attention from regulatory agenciesand legislative bodies. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as yet unspecified array of environmentalmatters. Legislative, regulatory or other efforts in the U.S. to combat climate change could result in future increases in the cost of rawmaterials, taxes, transportation and utilities for our vendors and for us which would result in higher operating costs for the Company. Also,compliance by our cinemas and accompanying real estate with new and revised environmental, zoning, land-use or building codes, laws,rules or regulations, could have a material and adverse effect on our business. However, we are unable to predict at this time, the potentialeffects, if any, that any future environmental initiatives may have on our business.Changes in interest rates may increase our interest expense. Because a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates, increases ininterest rates could materially increase our interest expense. In each of March, June, September and December 2018, the U.S. FederalReserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, with additional increases expected to come over the next year.If interest rates continue increasing, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amountborrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, willcorrespondingly decrease. Based on our debt outstanding as of December 31, 2018, if interest rates were to increase by 1%, thecorresponding increase in interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.4million per year. Potential future increases in interest rates may therefore negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations,and reduce our access to the debt or equity capital markets.In addition, some of our variable rate indebtedness uses LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate. LIBOR is the subject of recentnational, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial ConductAuthority announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR todisappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, butcould include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.- 28 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.International Business RisksOur international operations are subject to a variety of risks, including the following:·Currency Risk: while we report our earnings and net assets in U.S. dollars, substantial portions of our revenue and of ourobligations are denominated in either Australian or New Zealand dollars. The value of these currencies can vary significantlycompared to the U.S. dollar and compared to each other. We do not hedge the currency risk, but rather have relied upon the naturalhedges that exist as a result of the fact that our film costs are typically fixed as a percentage of the box office, and our localoperating costs and obligations are likewise typically denominated in local currencies. However, we do have intercompany debtand our ability to service this debt could be adversely impacted by declines in the relative value of the Australian and NewZealand dollar compared to the U.S. dollar. Also, our use of local borrowings to mitigate the business risk of currency fluctuationshas reduced our flexibility to move cash between jurisdictions. Set forth below is a chart of the exchange ratios between thesethree currencies since 1996: In recent periods, we have repaid intercompany debt and used the proceeds to fund capital investment in the United States. Accordingly,our debt levels in Australia are higher than they would have been if funds had not been returned for such purposes. On a company widebasis, this means that a reduction in the relative strength of the US dollar versus the Australian Dollar and/or the New Zealand dollar willeffectively raise the overall cost of our borrowing and capital and make it more expensive to return funds from the United States to Australiaand New Zealand.·Risk of adverse government regulation: currently, we believe that relations between the United States, Australia, and New Zealandare good. However, no assurances can be given that these relationships will continue and that Australia and New Zealand will notin the future seek to regulate more highly the business done by U.S. companies in their countries. ·Risk of adverse labor relations: deterioration in labor relations could lead to an increased cost of labor (including futuregovernment requirements with respect to pension liabilities, disability insurance and health coverage, and vacations and leave).- 29 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Trade disputes and geopolitical instability outside of the U.S. may adversely impact the U.S. and global economies. In 2018, globalgrowth weakened, trade tensions heightened, and several emerging markets experienced significant downturns as macroeconomic andgeopolitical developments weighed on market sentiments. Governmental policies of developed economies, such as the U.S., have asubstantial effect on emerging markets, and the consequences of a trade war between two developed countries, like that of the U.S. andChina, could further contribute to the adverse economic and political conditions of emerging and other developed economies.Additionally, North Korea’s nuclear weapons capabilities continue to be an ongoing security concern and worsening relations between theU.S. and North Korea continue to create a global security issue that may adversely affect international business and economic conditions.While it is difficult for us to predict the effect of such trade wars and heightened geopolitical and economic instability on our business, theycould lead to currency devaluation, economic and political turmoil, market volatility, and a loss of consumer confidence in the broader U.S.economy.Risks Associated with Certain Discontinued OperationsCertain of our subsidiaries were previously in industrial businesses. As a consequence, properties that are currently owned or may have inthe past been owned, by these subsidiaries may prove to have environmental issues. Where we have knowledge of such environmentalissues and are in a position to make an assessment as to our exposure, we have established what we believe to be appropriate reserves, butwe are exposed to the risk that currently unknown problems may be discovered. These subsidiaries are also exposed to potential claimsrelated to exposure of former employees to coal dust, asbestos, and other materials now considered to be, or which in the future may befound to be, carcinogenic or otherwise injurious to health. Operating, Financial Structure and Borrowing RiskFrom time to time, we may have negative working capital. In recent years, as we have invested our cash in new acquisitions and thedevelopment of our existing properties, we have had negative working capital. This negative working capital is typical in the cinemaexhibition industry because our short-term liabilities are in part financing our long-term assets instead of long-term liabilities financingshort-term assets, as is the case in other industries such as manufacturing and distribution.We are subject to complex taxation, changes in tax rates, adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation and disagreements withtax authorities that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We are subject to many differentforms of taxation in both the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions where we operate, such as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law inDecember 2017. The new laws are still evolving and require we interpret the provisions of the law as we try to comply with them. The costsof compliance with these laws and regulations are high and are likely to increase in the future. Any failure on our part to comply with theselaws and regulations can result in negative publicity and diversion of management time and effort and may subject us to significantliabilities and other penalties.Changes in U.S. accounting standards may adversely impact our business. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 Leases (ASC 842). This ASU was a joint effort by FASB and the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB) to improve the financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring companies to recognize leaseassets and lease liabilities on their balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 could require significant changes to our balance sheet relating to therecognition of operating leases as assets or liabilities based on existing lease terms and whether we are the lessor or lessee. Although thesestandards become effective in 2019, these changes in accounting standards could have a material effect on our financial condition or resultsof operations which, ultimately, could materially impact the price of our stock.We have substantial short to medium term debt. Generally speaking, we have historically financed our operations through relatively short-term debt. No assurances can be given that we will be able to refinance this debt, or if we can, that the terms will be reasonable. However,as a counterbalance to this debt, we have certain unencumbered real property assets, which could be sold to pay debt or encumbered toassist in the refinancing of existing debt, if necessary. We have substantial lease liabilities. Most of our cinemas operate in leased facilities. These leases typically have “cost of living” or otherrent adjustment features and require that we operate the properties as cinemas. A downturn in our cinema exhibition business might,depending on its severity, adversely affect the ability of our cinema operating subsidiaries to meet these rental obligations. Even if ourcinema exhibition business remains relatively constant, cinema level cash flow will likely be adversely affected unless we can increase ourrevenue sufficiently to offset increases in our rental liabilities.Our stock is thinly traded. Our stock is thinly traded, with an average daily volume in 2018 of only approximately 45,123 Class AStock. Our Class B Stock is very thinly traded with even less volume. This can result in significant volatility, as demand by buyers andsellers can easily get out of balance.Ownership and Management Structure, Corporate Governance, and Change of Control Risks Pending disputes among the heirs of James J.

Up until his death on September 13, 2014, James J. Cotter, Sr., the father of Ellen Cotter, James J. Cotter, Jr.and Margaret Cotter, was our controlling stockholder, having the sole power to vote approximately 66.9% of the outstanding voting stockof the Company. Under applicable Nevada Law, a stockholder holding more than 2/3rds of the Company’s voting stock has the power atany time, with or without cause, to remove any one or more directors (up to and including the entire board of directors) by written consenttaken without a meeting of the stockholders.Since his death, disputes have arisen among Ellen Cotter, James J. Cotter, Jr. and Margaret Cotter concerning the voting control of thoseshares and regarding the exercise by the Estate of James J. Cotter, Sr. Deceased (the “Cotter Estate”) of options to acquire an additional100,000 shares of Class B Stock. At the present time, Ellen Cotter is the Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of ourCompany. Margaret Cotter is the Vice-Chair of our Company, Executive Vice-President – Real Estate Management and Development,NYC and the President of Liberty Theaters, LLC, the company through which we own and operate our live theaters. She heads up themanagement and redevelopment of our New York properties. James J. Cotter, Jr., from June 2013 until June 12, 2015 was the President andfrom August 7, 2014 until June 12, 2015 was the Chief Executive Officer of our Company, having been removed from those positions byBoard action on June 12, 2015. From 2002 until November 7, 2018, Mr. Cotter, Jr., was also a director of our Company.As of December 31, 2018, according to the books of the Company, the Living Trust established by the Declaration of Trust dated June 5,2013, by James J. Cotter, Sr. (the “Cotter Trust”), held of record 696,080 shares of our Class B Stock constituting approximately 41.4% ofthe voting power of our outstanding capital stock. According to the books of the Company, the Cotter Estate as of that date held of recordan additional 427,808 shares of Class B Stock, constituting approximately 25.5% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Weare advised, based upon public filings made by one or more of Ellen Cotter, Margaret Cotter and James J. Cotter, Jr. (the “Cotter Filings”)that the Class B Stock currently held of record by the Cotter Estate will eventually pour over into the Cotter Trust. We are further advisedfrom the Cotter Filings that the Cotter Trust also provides for the establishment of a voting trust (the “Cotter Voting Trust”) which willeventually hold the Class B Stock currently held by the Cotter Estate and the Cotter Trust. At the present time, however, such Class BStock is held of record by the Cotter Trust and the Cotter Estate, respectively.On December 22, 2014, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, (the “Nevada District Court”) appointed Ellen Cotter and MargaretCotter as co-executors of the Cotter Estate. On March 23, 2018, the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles (the“California Superior Court”), issued its judgement in the case captioned In re James J. Cotter Living Trust dated August 1, 2000 (Case No.BP159755) (the “Trust Case”), to the effect that Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter are the Co-Trustees of the Cotter Trust and that MargaretCotter is the sole Trustee of the Voting Trust. As the appeal period for that judgment has expired, the California Superior Court’sdetermination in this regard is now final and not subject to review. Accordingly, in the view of the Company, Ellen Cotter and MargaretCotter have voting control over the shares held by the Cotter Trust and the Cotter Estate, collectively representing 66.9% of our Company’sClass B Stock. Taking into account Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter’s personal holdings of voting stock, Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotterhave the power to vote 71.9% of our Company’s voting stock. We understand from public filings made by Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter and public filings made by James J. Cotter, that James J.Cotter, Jr. is the first alternate trustee of the Voting Trust, in the event that Margaret Cotter is unable or unwilling to serve as trustee.While our Company is not a party to the Trust Case, our Company has appeared to protect (a) the business plan adopted by our Board ofDirectors and its determination that stockholder interests are best achieved by continuing with that business plan rather than selling theCompany at this time and (b) in the event that the California Court were to disregard the advice of our Board and order that a controllinginterest in our Company be marketed or sold, that the interests of our Company and stockholders generally are protected. Our Company’sparticipation in the Trust Case since August 2017 has been overseen by a Special Independent Committee of the Board of Directorscurrently comprised of directors Doug McEachern and Judy Codding.On February 8, 2017, James Cotter, Jr. filed in the Trust Case an Ex Parte Petition for Appointment of a trustee ad litem and of a guardian adlitem for the benefit of Cotter, Sr.’s, minor grandchildren (two of whom are the children of Margaret Cotter and three of whom are thechildren of James Cotter, Jr., and who are referred to herein as the “Cotter Grandchildren”). Mr. Cotter, Jr., sought the appointment of atrustee ad litem, to evaluate the non-binding indication of interest sent by Patton Vision, LLC (“Patton Vision”), to the Trustees of theCotter Trust to acquire the RDI shares held by the Cotter Trust at $18.50 per share (referred to in Mr. Cotter, Jr’s pleadings as the “Offer”)and to take reasonable steps to act on the Offer in the trustee’s sole discretion. Specifically, Mr. Cotter Jr. sought an order “granting thetrustee ad litem with full power, authority, and protections under the Cotter Trust and California trust law, as any other named trustee wouldhave, to evaluate the Offer, conduct due diligence, negotiate with Patton Vision or any other potential offerors, and take all actionsnecessary or appropriate to consummate the sale of the Cotter Trust’s RDI shares, including but not limited to:a.communicate solely with Patton Vision regarding their Offer to purchase the Cotter Trust’s RDI shares;b.receive solely and exclusively all offers for the purchase of the Cotter Trust’s RDI shares;c.enter into purchase and sale agreements with respect to the Cotter Trust’s RDI shares;- 31 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Cotter, Jr., net proceeds of the saleof the Cotter Trust’s RDI shares to be invested, managed and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Cotter Trust;g.hire investment advisors, tax advisors, accountants, attorneys, or any other advisors the trustee ad litem deems necessary andreasonable, in his or her sole discretion, to carry out his powers; and,h.temporarily suspending James J. Cotter, Jr., Margaret and Ellen’s powers with respect to all of the foregoing matters until furtherorder of this Court.” Notwithstanding its determination that Mr. Cotter, Jr. was not a trustee of either the Cotter Trust or the Voting Trust, on February 14, 2018,the California Superior Court issued its “Statement of Decision” to appoint a temporary trustee ad litem (the “TTAL”) “with the narrow andspecific authority to obtain offers to purchase the RDI stock in the voting trust, but not to exercise any other powers without court approval,specifically the sale of the company or any other powers possessed by the trustees.” The California Superior Court’s order based on thatStatement of Decision was entered on March 23, 2018. That order was appealed by Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter to the CaliforniaCourt of Appeals for the Second District (the “California Court of Appeals”), and on April 2, 2018, the California Court of Appeals enteredits order to show cause and a stay (the “Order to Show Cause and Stay”) as to why the court below “should not be compelled to vacate yourorder of March 23, 2018 directing that trustee ad litem be appointed to obtain offers to purchase the voting-stock trust’s interest in ReadingInternational, Inc., and issue a new and different order denying the ex parte petition seeking a trustee ad litem. . . . All trial courtproceedings are stayed pending disposition of this proceeding or further order of this court.” Briefs have been submitted by all parties, anda hearing is set for April 5, 2019. Accordingly, no temporary trustee ad litem has been appointed and no solicitation of offers is ongoing. In so far as we are aware, based upon public filings and our internal records, at the present time the Voting Trust does not own any shares ofRDI stock. The shares which are anticipated to flow into the Voting Trust are, insofar as our Company is aware, currently owned by theCotter Estate and the Cotter Trust.We continue to believe that, whether or not a final determination is made to sell the voting shares, the appointment of a TTAL would poserisks to our Company and our stockholders for a variety of reasons, including the resultant potential for: (i) distraction of management andkey employees from focusing on the conduct of our business, including the implementation of our three year business strategy, (ii)incurrence of additional general and administrative costs due to the need to implement employee retention programs and to incur legalexpenses of the type and at levels not typically required in the ordinary conduct of our Company’s business, (iii) interference withcontractual relationships, negotiations and potential negotiations with third parties important to our Company’s business, including,without limitation, current and future lenders, tenants, landlords, suppliers and co-developers, (iv) increased difficulty in hiring andretaining high quality employees, and (v) exposure of our Company to potential litigation claims of the type which often accompany anyextraordinary corporate transactions together with the expense, distraction and time loss that typically results from any such litigation. Ifthe California Superior Court’s order is not reversed by the California Court of Appeals and if a decision to sell a controlling interest ismade by the California Superior Court, then there would be the additional risk that control might be sold to an unqualified purchaser whomight exploit such control position in a manner not consistent with the best interests of our Company or stockholders generally.Since May 2016, Patton Vision has sent various non-binding indications of interest to us to purchase all of our Company’s outstandingshares. In each case our Board of Directors has determined that our Company and our stockholders would be best served by our continuedindependence and by our pursuit of our business strategy. We were informed that on January 23, 2017, Patton Vision separately sent asimilar indication of interest to the co-trustees of the Cotter Trust to purchase the Cotter Trust’s shares and to the Co-Executors of the CotterEstate to purchase the Cotter Estate’s shares. We have been advised by Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter that, acting in their capacities asthe Co-Executors of the Cotter Estate and as the Co-Trustees of the Cotter Trust and by Margaret Cotter, acting in her capacity as theTrustee of the to-be-formed Voting Trust, that they do not have any current plans to sell voting control of our Company.Most recently, on November 6, 2018, we received a non-binding indication of interest from Patton Vision dated November 5, 2018, statingan indicated purchase price of $444.0 million, allocated $17.22 per share for our Class A Common Stock and $37.38 per share for our ClassB Common Stock. In a further letter dated January 17, 2019, Patton Vision clarified that “the value per Class A and Class B shares reflected[in the November 5, 2018 non-binding indication of interest] were exemplary and intended to reflect that the proposal represented asubstantial equity value premium across Reading classes of common stock” and extended the term of its non-binding indication of interestto March 29, 2019. On March 14, 2019, our Board of Directors, following consideration and adoption of our three year business strategy,once again confirmed its determination that our Company and our stockholders would be best served by our continued independence andby our pursuit of our business strategy. Our Board of Directors instructed our management to inform Patton Vision once again that ourBoard had no present interest in engaging in discussions regarding our possible sale.The California Superior Court, in the Trust Case, has jurisdiction over a potentially controlling block of our voting power. The CotterTrust, which as described in more detail above, currently owns 41.4% of our Class B Stock, and, at such time as the Cotter Estate is- 32 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.probated, may receive up to an additional 25.5% of our Class B Stock, should the California Superior Court order the sale of the Trusts’Class B Stock and such sale be completed, then there may be a change of control of our Company (depending on, among other things, whothe ultimate purchaser(s) of such shares might be, the number of shares of Voting Stock distributed by the Cotter Estate to the Cotter Trust,and whether the California Superior Court orders a sale of all or only some portion to the Class B Stock held by the Cotter Trust). Wecannot predict what reactions, including appeals or other steps, might be taken by Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter in their respectivecapacities as Trustees under the Cotter Trust, or in other capacities (for example, as Co-Executors of the Cotter Estate or as stockholdersacting in their own right), should the California Superior Court make such an order. We do note, however, that Ellen Cotter and MargaretCotter have publicly stated that, if there is to be a sale of controlling shares, they intend to be the purchaser of such shares. We also cannotpredict what action our Board of Directors would take in response, if any. However, our Board of Directors has an obligation to act in thebest interest of our Company, and in the event the California Superior Court were to order a sale of the Class B Stock held by the CotterTrust, our Board of Directors would be obligated to consider the interests of the Company and to act accordingly. In addition, James J. Cotter, Jr., has filed a derivative action (discussed in greater detail below) against Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter andcertain of our Directors, alleging a variety of misconduct on their part and, among other things, seeking the reinstatement of James J. Cotter,Jr. as president and chief executive officer of our Company, and challenging the voting by Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter of the sharesheld by the Cotter Estate. The Nevada District Court has now dismissed on summary judgment all of Mr. Cotter, Jr.’s claims in that action,including his claims relating to the handling of the Patton Vision non-binding indications of interest. The Nevada District Court has alsoentered a cost order against Mr. Cotter, Jr., in the amount of $1.55 million. However, Mr. Cotter, Jr., has appealed those decisions so theycontinue as an overhang over our Company. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies—Cotter Jr. Related Litigation Matters (including legal costs coverage). The Nevada derivative litigation and related matters has for multiple years, required the time and attention of Ellen Cotter, Margaret Cotter,our directors and members of our management team and could, in the future, potentially further distract the time and attention of these keypersons from the business and operations of our Company.Furthermore, the uncertainty as to the future management and control of our Company could potentially adversely impact, among otherthings (i) our ability to develop and maintain favorable business relationships, (ii) our ability to attract and retain talented and experienceddirectors, executives and employees, (iii) the compensation and other terms needed to attract and retain such individuals (including,without limitation, the potential need for retentions agreements and other incentive arrangements typically put into place when control of apublic company is uncertain), (iv) our ability to borrow money on favorable long-term terms, and (v) our ability to pursue and completelong-term business objectives.The interests of our controlling stockholder may conflict with your interests. As of December 31, 2018, the Cotter Estate and the CotterTrust beneficially own 66.9% of our outstanding Class B Stock. At the present time, according to the books of the Company, Ellen Cotterand Margaret Cotter vote (including their direct holdings of 50,000 shares and 35,100 shares respectively of the Class B Stock), Class BStock representing 71.9% of our outstanding Class B Stock. Our Class A Stock is non-voting, while our Class B Stock represents all of thevoting power of our Company. For as long as the Cotter Estate, the Cotter Trust and/or the Cotter Voting Trust (referred to hereincollectively as the “Cotter Entities”) continue to own shares of Class B Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of ourcommon stock, the Cotter Entities will be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors and determine the outcome of allmatters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including matters involving mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition ordisposition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities andthe payment of dividends on common stock. The Cotter Entities will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control, and couldtake other actions that might be desirable to the Cotter Entities but not to other stockholders. To the extent that the Cotter Entities holdmore than 2/3rds of our outstanding Class B Stock, the Cotter Entities will have the power at any time, with or without cause, to remove anyone or more Directors (up to and including the entire board of directors) by written consent taken without a meeting of the stockholders. In addition, the Cotter Estate or the Cotter Trust and/or their respective affiliates have controlling interests in companies in related andunrelated industries. In the future, we may participate in transactions with these companies (see Note 19 – Related Parties).While controlling stockholders may owe certain fiduciary duties to our Company and/or minority stockholders, these duties arelimited. No assurances can be given that the Cotter Entities will not take action that, while beneficial to them and legally enforceable,would not necessarily be in the best interests of our Company and/or our stockholders generally.We are a “Controlled Company” under applicable NASDAQ Regulations. As permitted by those Regulations, our Board has elected toopt-out of certain corporate governance rules applicable to non-controlled companies. Generally speaking, the NASDAQ requires listedcompanies to meet certain minimum corporate governance provisions. However, a “Controlled Company”, such as we, may elect not to begoverned by certain of these provisions. Our Board of Directors has elected to exempt our Company from requirements that (i) at least amajority of our Directors be independent, and (ii) nominees to our Board of Directors be nominated by a committee comprised entirely ofindependent Directors or by a majority of our Company’s independent Directors.

Currently, we operate in two business segments:·Cinema exhibition, through our 59, including one managed only cinema multiplex cinemas; and,·Real estate, including real estate development and the rental of retail, commercial and live theater assets.We believe that these two business segments can complement one another, as we can use the comparatively consistent cash flows generatedby our cinema operations to fund the front-end cash demands of our real estate development business.We operate our worldwide cinema exhibition businesses under various brands:·in the U.S., under the following brands: Reading Cinemas, Angelika Film Centers, Consolidated Theatres, and City Cinemas;·in Australia, under the Reading Cinemas brand; and,·in New Zealand, under the Reading Cinemas and Rialto brands.Our Business Strategy: Applying a Synergistic ApproachWe believe the cinema business to be one that will likely continue to generate fairly consistent cash flows in the years ahead, even in arecessionary or inflationary environment. This is based on our belief that people will continue to spend a reasonable portion of theirentertainment dollars 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. We believe the cinema exhibition business to be a mature business withmost markets either adequately screened or over-screened and we see growth in our cinema business coming principally from (i) theenhancement of our existing cinemas (for example, by the addition of luxury recliner seating and expanding our food and beverageprogram), (ii) the development in select markets of specialty cinemas and where applicable, new cinemas in underserved markets, and (iii)the opportunistic acquisition of already existing cinemas. From time-to-time, we might invest in the securities of other companies, where webelieve the business or assets of those companies to be attractive or to offer synergies to our- 47 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.existing entertainment and real estate businesses. We continue to focus on the development and redevelopment of our existing assets(particularly our real estate assets in (i) New York, (ii) Brisbane and Sydney in Australia, and (iii) Wellington, New Zealand, and ourAngelika Film Center chain), as well as to continue to be opportunistic in identifying and endeavoring to acquire undervalued assets,particularly assets with proven cash flow and that we believe to be resistant to recessionary trends.We see ourselves principally as a geographically diversified real estate and cinema exhibition company and intend to add to stockholdervalue by building the value of our portfolio of tangible assets, including both entertainment and other types of land and “brick and mortar”assets. We endeavor to maintain a reasonable asset allocation between our domestic and international assets and operations, and betweenour cash-generating cinema operations and our cash-consuming real estate investment and development activities. We believe that, byblending the cash generating capabilities of a cinema operation with the investment and development opportunities of our real estateoperations, our business strategy is unique among public companies.Industry OutlookCinema ExhibitionAlong with most of our industry, we have completed the conversion of all of our U.S., Australia, and New Zealand cinema operations todigital exhibition. We believe that a substantial part of this cost of conversion has been or will be recovered by the receipt of “virtual printfees” paid by film distributors for the use of such digital projection equipment.The “in-home” entertainment industry has experienced significant leaps in recent periods in both the quality and affordability of in-homeentertainment systems and in the accessibility to and quality of entertainment programming through alternative film distribution channels,such as network, cable, satellite, internet distribution channels, and Blu-ray/DVD. The success of these alternative distribution channelsputs additional pressure on film distributors to reduce and/or eliminate the length of time between theatrical and secondary release dates.These are issues common to both our U.S. and international cinema operations.Certain new entrants to the cinema exhibition market, as well as certain of our historic competitors, have begun to develop new, and toreposition existing, cinemas that offer a broader selection of premium seating and food and beverage choices. These include, in some cases,food service to the seat and the offering of alcoholic beverages. For some years, we have offered premium seating, café food selections andalcoholic beverages in certain cinemas. Based on our experience, we believe that we can compete effectively with this emergingcompetition. We are currently reviewing the potential for further expanding our offerings at a variety of our cinemas.Below is a summary discussion of the competitive aspects of our two cinema exhibition markets:·North America: We face strong competition in North America as distributors may find it more commercially appealing to dealwith major exhibitors, rather than to deal with independents such as us. This competitive disadvantage has increased significantlyin recent periods, with the development of mega-circuits such as Cinemark, Regal and AMC, who are able to offer distributorsaccess to screens on a truly nationwide basis, or, on the other hand, to limit access if their desires with respect to film supply are notsatisfied. AMC in 2017 completed its acquisition of the 4th largest exhibitor in the U.S., Carmike Cinemas, making it the largest circuit inthe U.S. and when considered with its parent (Dalian Wanda), the largest exhibitor in the world. Just recently, Cineworld, a majorEuropean cinema circuit operator, has acquired Regal. The restructuring and consolidation undertaken in the industry isdecreasing the number of exhibitors in the market, and the emergence of increasingly attractive “in-home” and mobileentertainment alternatives and the continued growth of in-home and mobile viewing options is resulting in pressure for shortenedrelease windows. ·Australia / New Zealand: The film exhibition industry in Australia and New Zealand is highly concentrated in that Village,Event, and Hoyts (the “Major Exhibitors”) control approximately 78% of the cinema box office in Australia, while Event andHoyts control approximately 52% of New Zealand’s cinema box office. The industry is also somewhat vertically integrated in thatone of the Major Exhibitors, Roadshow Film Distributors (part of Village), also serves as a distributor of film in Australia and NewZealand for Warner Bros. Films produced or distributed by the majority of the local international independent producers are alsodistributed by Roadshow. Typically, the Major Exhibitors own the newer multiplex and megaplex cinemas, while the independentexhibitors typically have older and smaller cinemas. In addition, the Major Exhibitors have in recent periods built a number ofnew multiplexes as joint venture partners or under shared facility arrangements, and have historically not engaged in head-to-headcompetition. - 48 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Real EstateA summary discussion of the competitive aspects of the markets where we own real estate properties is as follows:·North America: We believe that U.S. retail real estate owners will continue to reuse the space vacated by anchor retailers to offer avariety of entertainment options and ultimately enhance the customer experience. Online marketplaces will offer a platform tobrands, designers, and artists to find physical retail space for a short duration. This will likely spur a broader subleasingphenomenon. Subleasing will likely be bigger than leasing, however physical stores will remain, although their form andfunctionality will continue to evolve. Credit availability may be a concern going forward, due to, among other things, thecontinued low CMBS issuances and banks tightening the lending standards across all commercial real estate loan categories dueto increased federal scrutiny.Demand for office space is likely to reduce as corporations adapt to employees’ “live, work, and play” behavior and leveragetechnology to automate tasks. The leasing of large office spaces and sub-leasing them on demand for a wide variety of short-termrentals, ranging from day offices, hourly use of office space or meeting rooms, to virtual offices and other uses, will be a continuinggrowth trend. In essence, office space demand will tilt in favor of open, flexible, co-sharing spaces and the per-employee officespace requirement is likely to shrink. As there will be a higher demand for dynamically configurable spaces.Our U.S. business plan is aligned with these real estate trends – to expand our U.S. cinema offering, offer premium retail locationsand versatile office product.·Australia and New Zealand: Over the past few years, there has been a noted stabilization in real estate market activity resulting insome increases to commercial and retail property values in Australia and to a lesser extent in New Zealand. Both countries haverelatively stable economies with varying degrees of economic growth that are mostly influenced by global trends. Also, we havenoted that our Australian and New Zealand developed properties have had consistent growth in rentals and values, and we have anumber of projects commencing in the near to medium term. Once developed, we remain optimistic that our Australian and NewZealand holdings will continue to provide value and cash flows to our operations.RECENT DEVELOPMENTSRecent developments in our two business segments are discussed below:Cinema ExhibitionOur cinema revenue consists primarily of admissions, F&B, advertising and theater rentals. Cinema operating expense consists of the costsdirectly attributable to the operation of the cinemas, including film rent expense, operating costs, and occupancy costs. Cinema revenueand expense fluctuate with the availability of quality first run films and the numbers of weeks such first run films stay in the market. For abreakdown of our current cinema assets that we own and/or manage, please see Part I, Item 1 – Our Business of this 2018 Form 10-K.While our capital projects in recent years have been focused on growing our real estate segment, we have also maintained our focus onimproving and enhancing in our cinema exhibition portfolio, as discussed below:Cinema Additions and Enhancements Here are the additions to our cinema portfolio in 2017 and 2018:·Opened a new state-of-the-art eight-screen in Newmarket, Brisbane, Australia On December 14, 2017, at the completion of ourexpansion of our Newmarket Village, Brisbane shopping center, we opened an eight screen Reading Cinemas offering one TITANLUXE with DOLBY ATMOS sound and recliner seating, and three Gold Lounge auditoriums featuring recliner seating, as well asoffering an expanded F&B menu.·Opened our first dine-in concept, “Spotlight” in the United States: On March 30, 2018 we finished the conversion of one wing(six auditoriums) at our Reading Cinema in Murrieta, California (Cal Oaks) to our dine-in concept brand, “Spotlight·U.S. Refurbishments In 2017 and 2018, we continued to invest in the refurbishment and enhancements of our existing cinemas, ascontemplated by our strategic plan. During this period, seven locations had significant refurbishment work performed: our CalOaks, Valley Plaza and Grossmont locations in California; our Ward, Pearlridge and Mililani locations in Hawaii; and ourManville location in New Jersey. During this period, we converted (or are in the process of conversion), 63 of our 245 U.S.auditoriums to luxury recliner seating.·AU and NZ Refurbishments In 2017 and 2018, we improved eight theaters: Belmont, Rouse Hill, Courtenay Central, Napier,Charlestown, Elizabeth, Auburn and Rotorua.- 49 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

We have invested both in (i) upgrading of our existing cinemas and (ii)developing new cinemas, in each case to provide our customers with premium offerings, including state-of-the-art presentation and sound,luxury seating and enhanced food and beverage amenities (such as lounges and bar service). As of December 31, 2018, the upgrades to ourtheater circuits’ film exhibition technology and amenities are as summarized in the following table: LocationCount ScreenCountScreen Format Digital (all cinemas in our theatre circuit) 59 478IMAX 1 1Titan LUXE and TITAN XC 18 20Dine-in Service Gold Lounge(1) 10 25Premium(2) 11 21Spotlight 1 6Upgraded Food & Beverage menu (for U.S. operations)(3) 14 n/aPremium Seating (recliner seating features) 21 136Liquor Licenses Obtained(4) 25 n/a(1)Gold Lounge: This is our "First Class Full Dine-in Service" in our Australian and New Zealand cinemas, which includes upgraded F&B menu (withalcoholic beverages), luxury recliner seating features (intimate 30-40 seat cinemas) and waiter service.(2)Premium Service: This is our "Business Class Dine-in Service" in our Australian and New Zealand cinemas, which includes upgraded F&B menu (withalcoholic beverages) and may include luxury recliner seating features (less intimate 80-seat cinemas), but no waiter service.(3)Upgraded Food & Beverage Menu: Contrary to our offerings in Australia and New Zealand, our upgraded F&B offerings in the U.S. cinemas areavailable in a common counter in each of our cinema locations rather than a dine-in service at each screen room. We have worked with renownedformer Food Network executives and chefs to curate a menu of locally inspired and freshly prepared items.(4)Liquor Licenses: Licenses are applicable at each cinema location, rather than each theatre auditorium. For accounting purposes, we capitalize the cost ofpurchasing or obtaining for liquor licenses meeting certain thresholds as an intangible asset due to long-term economic benefits derived on future salesof alcoholic beverages. As of December 31, 2018, we have five pending applications for additional liquor licenses in the U.S.During January 2019, we acquired a proven four-screen cinema in Tasmania.Plans for 2019 and Our Cinema PipelineWe currently plan to upgrade or begin the upgrade of various cinemas in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand in 2019. We have entered into lease agreements for four new cinemas in Australia (25 screens), which we anticipate will come on line in 2019 -2021. Our focus with respect to new cinemas featuring state-of-the-art projection and sound, luxury recliner seating, enhanced F&B (typicallyincluding alcohol service) and typically at least one major TITAN type presentation screen. Our focus is on providing best in class servicesand amenities that will differentiate us from in-home and mobile viewing options. We believe that a night at the movies should be aspecial and premium experience and, indeed, that it must be in order to compete with the variety of options being offered to consumersthrough other platforms.During 2019, we will also be focusing on the rollout and enhancement of our proprietary on-line ticketing capabilities and social mediainterfaces. These are intended to enhance the convenience of our offering and to promote customer affinity with the experience andproduct that we are offering. Real EstateAs of December 31, 2018, our operating properties consisted of the following:·our Newmarket, Queensland ETC, our Belmont, Western Australia ETC, our Auburn, New South Wales ETC, our Townsville,Queensland ETC and our Wellington, New Zealand ETC;·two (2) single-auditorium live theaters in Manhattan (Minetta Lane and Orpheum) and a four-auditorium live theater complex(including the accompanying ancillary retail and commercial tenants) in Chicago (The Royal George); and,·the ancillary retail and commercial tenants at some of our non-ETC cinema properties.At the beginning of January 2016, we ceased our live theatre business at our Union Square property in New York, terminated all tenantleases and prepared the property for redevelopment.

In addition, we have various parcels of unimproved real estate held for development in Australia and New Zealand and certain unimprovedland in the United States including properties used in our legacy activities. We also own an 8,300 square foot commercial building inMelbourne, which serves as our administrative headquarters for Australia and New Zealand, approximately 37% which is leased to anunrelated third party. During 2016, we bought a 24,000 square foot office building in Culver City, California to serve as our CorporateHeadquarters in Los Angeles (refer to “Strategic Acquisitions” section below for more details).Our key real estate transactions over the 2016-2018 period are as follows:Strategic Acquisitions·Purchase of Infill Property in Auburn, Australia – On June 29, 2018, we purchased a property for $3.5 million (AU$ 4.5 million)in Auburn (Sydney area), Australia.

On December 14, 2017, we received the final payment for Burwood of $28.1 million(AU$36.6 million), on June 19, 2017 we received $16.6 million (AU$21.8 million) as a partial payment and on May 23, 2014 wereceived $5.9 million (AU$6.5 million) as the initial deposit.Value-creating OpportunitiesWe are engaged in several real estate development projects to take our properties to their highest and best use. The most notable of thesevalue-creating projects are as follows:·Redevelopment of 44 Union Square Property in New York, USA. We secured construction financing for our Union Square propertyin December 2016 and entered into a guaranteed maximum price construction management agreement with an affiliate of CNY.We anticipate that the project will be ready for tenant fit-out activities in the second quarter of 2019. Retail and office leasinginterest to date has been strong and, while no assurances can be given, we are currently in exclusive negotiations with respect tolong-term leases covering approximately 90% of the net rentable area of the building. This redevelopment will add approximately23,000 square footage of rentable space to the current square footage of the building for an approximate total of 73,322 square feetof rentable space, inclusive of anticipated BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) adjustments and subject to leasenegotiations and the final tenant mix.·Expansion Project for our Newmarket Shopping Center located in an affluent suburb of Brisbane, Australia. In December 2017we opened our eight-screen Reading Cinema, 10,150 square feet of additional retail space and 124 parking spaces. As ofDecember 31, 2018, this center was approximately 98% leased.·Master-planning for our Courtenay Central ETC in Wellington, New Zealand. Located in the heart of Wellington – NewZealand’s capital city – this center is comprised of 161,071 square feet of land situated proximate to the Te Papa TongarewaMuseum (attracting over 1.5 million visitors annually), across the street from the site of Wellington’s newly announcedconvention center (estimated to open its doors in 2022) and at a major public transit hub. Damage from the 2016 earthquakenecessitated demolition of our nine-story parking garage at the site, and unrelated seismic issues have caused us to close portionsof the existing cinema and retail structure while we reevaluate the center for redevelopment as an entertainment themed urbancenter with a major food and grocery component. Wellington continues to be rated as one of the top cities in the world in which tolive, and we continue to believe that the Courtenay Central site is located in one of the most vibrant and growing commercial andentertainment sections of Wellington.In April, 2017, our Insurer completed the examination of our insurance claim with respect to the parking building and shoppingcenter earthquake damage and related business interruption. We received a final settlement of US $20.0 million in May 2017,reaching the policy maximum of US$25.0 million for the loss event. As a result, we recorded a gain of $9.2 million(NZ$12.7 million) representing excess insurance recoveries over the recorded property value during the second quarter endedJune 30, 2017. This amount is recorded net of demolition costs incurred and an allocation to lost profits, covered within the sameinsurance policy. This gain was a non-recurring item for the year 2018. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a gain on business interruption recoveries of $1.5 million (NZ$2.1 million),presented as part of the relevant segment revenue lines in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for that quarter. While theearthquake has opened up possibilities to reconfigure our Courtenay Central property, the gains recorded during the quarter endedJune 30, 2017 do not compensate for the lost time value of the delay of our development plan. This gain was a non-recurring itemfor the year 2018.- 52 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Underthe terms of the agreement, Reading and 260-264 LLC worked together on a comprehensive mixed-use plan to co-develop theproperties located on 3rd Avenue, between 59th Street and 60th Streets, in New York City. The parties completed an initialfeasibility study, analyzing various retail, entertainment and residential uses for the site and during 2018 continued to work on theterms of a final agreement for the development of the combined property. We do not presently believe that we will be able to cometo agreement with our neighbors for a joint development of our properties and, have, accordingly, begun developing plans for anapproximately 96,000 square foot mixed use stand-alone development. Our Cinemas 1,2,3, property is located on Third Avenue inNew York City, between 59th and 60th Streets across from Bloomingdales.·Manukau Land Rezoning – In August 2016, the Auckland City Council up-zoned 64.0 acres of our property in Manukau fromagricultural to light industrial use. The remaining 6.4 acres were already zoned for heavy industrial use. Our zoning enhancementgoal has been achieved, in 2018, we worked with adjoining landholders to jointly advance necessary infrastructure improvementissues. We estimate that our property will support approximately 1.6 million square feet of improvements. We see this property asa future value realization opportunity for us. This tract is adjacent to the Auckland Airport, which is currently undergoing a majorimprovement and expansion project.Corporate Matters·$25-million Stock Repurchase Program. The prior repurchase program was completed at the end of 2016. The new repurchaseprogram approved on March 2, 2017, and extended on March 14, 2019, allows Reading to repurchase its Class A Stock from timeto time in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission on the open market, in block trades andin privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. The new authorization continues throughMarch 2, 2020. Our Financing Strategy Our treasury management is focused on concerted cash management using cash balances to reduce debt. We have used cash generatedfrom operations and other excess cash, to the extent not needed for any capital expenditures, to pay down our loans and credit facilitiesproviding us some flexibility on our available loan facilities for future use and thereby, reducing interest charges. On a periodic basis,we review the maturities of our borrowing arrangements and negotiate for renewals and extensions where necessary in the currentcircumstances.In March 2019, we amended our Revolving Corporate Markets Loan Facility with National Australia Bank (“NAB) from a facilitycomprised of (i) a AU$66.5 million loan facility with an interest rate of 0.95% above the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (“BBSY) and amaturity date of June 30, 2019 and (ii) a bank guarantee of AUD$5.0 million at a rate of 1.90% per annum into a (i) AU$120.0 millionCorporate Loan facility at a rate of 0.85% - 1.3% above BBSY, depending on certain ratios, with a due date of December 31, 2023, ofwhich AU$80.0 million is revolving and AU$40.0 million is core and (ii) a Bank Guarantee Facility of AU$5.0 million at a rate of1.85% per annum. Such modifications of this particular term loan were not considered to be substantial under US GAAP. On December 20, 2018, we then restructured our Westpac Corporate Credit Facilities. The maturity of the 1st tranche (general/non-construction credit line) was extended to December 31, 2023, with the available facility being reduced from NZ$35.0 million toNZ$32.0 million. The facility bears an interest rate of 1.75% above the Bank Bill Bid Rate on the loan balance and a 1.1% line ofcredit charge on the full amount of the facility. The 2nd tranche (construction line) with a facility of NZ$18.0 million matured onDecember 31, 2018, and was not renewed. On March 5, 2019, we extended our current Bank of America credit facilities until May 1, 2020 (the $55 million credit line). Weanticipate refinancing this credit line during the second quarter of 2019.For a complete list and further details of our value creation projects, see Part I, Item 2 – Properties under the heading “Investment andDevelopment Property”. - 53 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

This wasprimarily driven by higher admissions in all three of our geographies, resulting in higher box office and F&B revenue. These increases wereoffset by the weakened AU and NZ dollars compared to the US dollar. Additionally, the increase in cinema revenue for 2018 was due to theindustry-wide box office soft year for product in 2017 and the closure of some of our cinemas and auditoriums for renovation in 2017.Comparing the current and prior year, the Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar decreased against the U.S. dollar by 2.5% and 2.5% (onaverage rates), respectively. For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Cinema segment revenues increased 5%, or $3.7 million, to $71.1 million compared to the samequarter in 2017. This increase is primarily due to U.S. Circuit including the positive results from Cal Oaks, Manville, and Ward which allhad improved revenue results over the same quarter in the previous year.Our Cinemas in Australia and New Zealand also enjoyed increased revenues in local currency, offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollarduring the same two periods.The table below is the revenue breakdown by country for each year:(Dollars in thousands)2018% ofRevenue2017% ofRevenue2018 vs. 2017Favorable/(Unfavorable)United States$162,251 55 %$139,078 53 %17 %Australia101,996 35 %96,606 37 %6 %New Zealand29,930 10 %27,780 10 %8 %Total Segment Revenues$294,177 100 %$263,464 100 %12 %·In the United States, revenues increased by 17%, or $23.2 million, primarily driven by a 9% increase in attendance, an 8% increasein average ticket price (ATP), and an increase of 5% in spend per patron (SPP). ·Australia’s cinema revenue, stated in U.S. dollars, increased by 6%, or $5.4 million, primarily due to a 4% increase in ATP, a 3%increase in attendance, as well as a slight favorable increase in SPP. Additionally, the Newmarket ETC was fully operational forthe entire year of 2018 which contributed to the overall positive results. ·In New Zealand, cinema revenue increased by 8%, or $2.2 million, mainly due to an 11% increase in attendance, coupled with a2% increase in ATP and SPP. Cost of services and products (excluding depreciation and amortization)Cost of services and products for 2018 increased by 9%, or $19.8 million, to $234.8 million mainly attributable to higher film rent andadvertising costs in the U.S. due to higher box office revenue and higher concession costs due to increased concession sales. Increases weredriven by operations in Australia at our Newmarket Cinema location related to costs associated with the full year of operations.For the quarter ended December 31, 2018 costs of services remained relatively flat compared to December 31, 2017.

Depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenseDepreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses for 2018 increased by 23%, or $1.5 million, to $7.9 million, compared tothe same period in 2017, primarily driven by capital improvements at the Newmarket ETC and Auburn ETC locations.For the quarter ended December 31, 2018 depreciation, amortization, and general and administrative expenses increased by 12%, or$207,000 primarily related to a full quarter of depreciation expense for Newmarket in 2018 compared to 15 days of depreciation forNewmarket during the same quarter 2017.NON-SEGMENT RESULTS – 2018 vs. 2017Gain on sale of assetsNet gain on sale of assets for 2018 decreased by $9.4 million, primarily due to the gain on sale realized in 2017 on the settlement of theBurwood land of $9.3 million (AU$12.4 million) not being repeated in 2018.General and administrative expenseNon-segment general and administrative expense for 2018 increased by $1.3 million or 7%, to $21.3 million. This primarily relates tohigher payroll and bonus related expenses (attributable to reversal in 2017 for prior year incentive compensation accruals not deemednecessary), offset by a reduction in professional services and legal fees of $209,000. For more information about the legal expense, please refer to Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated FinancialStatements included herein in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) on this report.Income tax expenseOn December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act significantly changed theU.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, imposed a one-time mandatory repatriation taxon deferred earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and changed how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax.As the result of the Tax Act and under the guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, werecorded a provisional tax expense of approximately $13.0 million for the impact of the Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2017. During thefourth quarter of 2018, upon finalizing the analysis of the impact from the Tax Act, we recorded a tax benefit of $2.3 million as anadjustment to the provisional estimate, for a net tax impact of $10.7 million. The $2.3 million is comprised of an adjustment of $1.2million to the impact of the one-time mandatory repatriation tax on previously undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and $1.1million from the re-measurement of federal net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate.Income tax expense decreased by $40,000, or 1%, compared to 2017, mainly due to benefits recognized in 2017 as the result of thedissolution of a non-operating overseas subsidiary, partially offset by the provisional unfavorable effect of the Tax Act.

The higher revenues of our Australia cinemas and favorable foreign currency movements of our foreign operations helped tooffset lower revenues in the U.S. Refer below for further explanations.For the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016, Cinema Exhibition operating income decreased by 18%, or $1.6million primarily resulting from four of our stronger cinemas either being closed, or partially closed, for significant renovations, whichincluded the installation of recliner seats and conversion to TITAN LUXE during the fourth quarter.- 64 -Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

F&B revenueswere also up in both the United States and New Zealand driven by increased spend per patron due to our expanded F&B offering. Theseincreases were further enhanced as a result of the appreciation of the AU and NZ dollars compared to the US dollar. These items werepartially offset by lower admits in the U.S. due in part to industry-wide box office softening in 2017 and the cinema closure resulting fromour cinema renovation program. Comparing the current and prior year, the Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar increased against theU.S. dollar by 3.1% and 2.0% (on average rates), respectively. Shown below is the revenue breakdown by country:(Dollars in thousands) 2017 % ofRevenue 2016 % ofRevenue 2017 vs. 2016Favorable/(Unfavorable)United States $139,078 53 % $139,820 54 % (1)%Australia 96,606 37 % 89,053 35 % 8 %New Zealand 27,780 10 % 28,049 11 % (1)%Total Segment Revenues $263,464 100 % $256,922 100 % 3 %·In the United States, 2017 revenues decreased by 1%, or $742,000, primarily driven by lower attendance partially due to thetemporary closure of certain sites for renovations along with lower industry-wide box office attendance. This was partially offsetby, improved average ticket prices, improved F&B revenues and increased web sale revenues. ·Australia’s cinema revenue, stated in U.S. dollars, increased by 8%, or $7.6 million, primarily due to increase in attendance, as wellas a favorable foreign exchange movements, offset by a reduction in average ticket prices. ·In New Zealand, cinema revenue decreased by 1%, or $269,000, mainly due to the closure of our Courtenay Central ETC for aportion of the period.Cinema Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 increased by 5%, or $3.1 million, to $67.4 million compared to the same quarterended December 31, 2016, despite the fact that some Pearlridge auditoriums were closed during the quarter, generating a decrease inrevenue $1.5 million, Australia generated a 16% increase in revenue and New Zealand generated a 20% increase in revenue.Cost of services and products (excluding depreciation and amortization)Cost of services and products for 2017 increased by 4%, or $9.1 million, to $215.0 million mainly attributable to higher film rent andadvertising costs in Australia due to higher box office revenue, higher concession costs due to increased concession sales, additionaloperating costs amounting to $3.3 million associated with Olino, including an additional $1.8 million in occupancy cost compared to2016. Further movements were driven by an increase in occupancy expenses of $765,000 as a result of increases in rents associated with theexercise of certain lease options, increased staff costs due to minimum wage increases and a move towards enhanced food & beverageofferings, and costs associated with the opening of our new Newmarket cinema in Brisbane, Australia. In addition, the impact of thestrengthening Australian and New Zealand dollars relative to the U.S. dollar further contributed to the cost increase. These were partiallyoffset by lower film rent and advertising costs in the United States and New Zealand due to lower box office revenue.Certain costs incurred in quarters one to three of 2017 have, in quarter four, crystallized as rent liabilities to be paid, and as such have beenreclassified from ‘other operating expenses’ to ‘occupancy costs’. These costs have no material impact on our financial results for theperiods concerned.Cost of services and products as a percentage of gross revenue increased in 2017 to 82% from 80% in 2016.Cost of services and products for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased by 9%,or $4.4 million, to $55.9 million. The increase is primarily due to higher occupancy costs in the U.S. coupled with higher film rents andadvertising in Australia and New Zealand.Cost of services and products as a percentage of gross revenue increased in for the fourth quarter 2017 to 83% from 80% in 2016.Depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenseDepreciation, amortization, general and administrative expense for 2017 remained relatively unchanged compared to 2016. The increase indepreciation resulting from improvements in several of our cinema facilities was offset by savings in general and administrative expenses.- 65 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

This was offset by an increase in general and administrative costs. Please refer below for further explanation.For the quarter ended December 31, 2017 real estate operating income increased 99% to $2.5 million compared to the same period in2016. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recognized STOMP arbitration award settlement for approximately $700,000 for proceeds receivedin the first quarter in 2018. Additionally, for the fourth quarter 2017, the receipt of property rental for a full quarter at Courtenay were notreceived in 2016 due to the Wellington earthquake.- 67 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.RevenueReal estate revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 increased by 13% or $2.7 million, mainly driven by fees recovered of$1.8 million in relation to the STOMP arbitration award settlement, increased rental income as part of the expansion of our Newmarket sitein Brisbane Australia, as well as additional rental income from the Newmarket office building purchased in November 2016, the recognitionof business interruption insurance on our Courtenay Central property and parking structure, as well as the impact of the favorable foreignexchange rates on our Australia and New Zealand operations. This was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from our CourtenayCentral ETC due to damage suffered in the Wellington earthquake and result in closure of the center, and a reduction in revenue from ourlive theatre operations.

This is primary due to a 29% increase in the New Zealand circuit, offset by reduced real estate revenues in the U.S. circuit due toredevelopment expansion projects of several of our properties. Cost of services and products (excluding depreciation and amortization)Operating expense for 2017 increased by 4%, or $394,000, as a result of a number of pre-opening costs associated with our recentlydeveloped Newmarket Village site. This was partially offset by a reduction in costs relating to our live theaters and Courtenay Centralduring the period it was closed. Depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenseDepreciation, amortization, general and administrative expense for 2017 increased by 29%, or $1.5 million, primarily driven by theincreased salary costs due to staff expansion as we continue to develop our Real Estate capacity, including costs that had previously beenincurred by our Cinema segment, as well as an increase in depreciation expense due to recent acquisitions and property enhancements. Thishas been partially offset by the reduction in doubtful debt expense.Depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to the same periodincreased $331,000 primarily due to increased general and administrative expenses in the U.S.NON-SEGMENT RESULTS – 2017 vs. 2016Gain on sale of assetsNet gain on sale of assets for 2017 increased by $9.0 million, primarily due to the gain on sale realized in 2017 on the settlement of theBurwood land of $9.3 million (AU$12.4 million), compared to the gain from the final closing of the second sale agreement of the Taupoproperty in New Zealand in the amount of $393,000 (NZ$585,000) realized in Q1, 2016.General and administrative expenseNon-segment general and administrative expense for 2017 decreased by $1.8 million or 8%, to $19.9 million. This primarily relates to areduction in professional services mainly relating to non-recurring one-off items incurred in 2016 including additional expenses incurred inconnection with the 2015 year-end audit ($960,000) and expenses incurred in connection with the change in status of certain executives($400,000) as well as 2017 savings in legal fees, and reduced occupancy costs due to the purchase of our new company headquarters. Thesewere offset by additional costs incurred in our Australian and New Zealand corporate offices due to additional staff costs and the effects offoreign exchange movements. Higher legal expenses in 2016 mainly relate to the defense of the derivative litigation, the arbitration of certain claims related to thetermination of James J. Cotter, Jr. as our President and Chief Executive Officer and on a more limited basis, for the work undergone toimprove corporate governance matters. While the legal costs incurred by the Company were undoubtedly high, we believe that themajority of these costs were forced upon the Company as it became necessary to vigorously defend the Company’s position in thederivative litigation and to resolve Mr. Cotter, Jr.’s claims relating to his termination. As such, these costs should be treated as non-recurring in nature.For more information about the legal expense, please refer to Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated FinancialStatements included herein in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) on this report.- 68 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Our parking structure at Courtenay Central in Wellington, NewZealand was significantly damaged by the earthquake on November 14, 2016 and was subsequently demolished for safety reasons. Wefiled an insurance claim to recover the impairment loss on the parking structure and the ancillary demolition costs. Refer to Note 20 –Insurance Recoveries on Impairment and Related Losses due to Earthquake for further details.Income tax expenseIncome tax expense decreased by $758,000 or 18%, compared to 2016, mainly due to benefits recognized as the result of the dissolution ofa non-operating overseas subsidiary, partially offset by an increase in pre-tax income and the provisional unfavorable effect of the TaxAct. Please refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II of this Annual Report for further information.Interest expense, netInterest expense (net of interest income) decreased by $588,000, or 9%, compared to 2016, mainly due to a reduction in the average balanceoutstanding. This was achieved due to the receipt of the insurance proceeds from the Courtenay Central parking structure of $20.0 millionin May 2017, allowing us to fully pay down our Westpac loan in New Zealand. Interest income also includes the $115,000 of interestlevied on the STOMP arbitration award settlement. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESOur cinema exhibition business plan is to enhance our current cinemas where it is financially reasonable to do so; develop our specialtycinemas in select markets; expand our food and beverage offering, and continue on an opportunistic basis, to identify, develop, and acquirecinema properties that allow us to leverage our cinema expertise over a larger operating base. Our real estate business is to complete the redevelopment of our Union Square property; to reassess and master-plan the Cinemas 1,2,3property for redevelopment as a stand-alone 96,000 square foot mixed use property and in the interim to continue to use it as a cinema; tocontinue the build-out of our Newmarket Village and Auburn ETCs and the master planning of the expansion of our Townsville ETC inAustralia; to master plan and consider the redevelopment of our Courtenay Central site in New Zealand into an urban entertainment centerwith a focus on cinema exhibition, food and beverage, and grocery store uses; and in Manukau, New Zealand, to develop in concert withother major land owners, of plans for the development of the infrastructure needed to support the construction of income-producingimprovements; and to continue to be sensitive to opportunities to convert our entertainment assets to higher and better uses, or, whereappropriate, to dispose of such assets. We will also continue to explore potential synergistic acquisitions that may not readily fall intoeither our cinema or real estate segment.The success of our Company is dependent on our ability to execute these business plans effectively through our available resources (bothcash and available borrowing facilities) while still timely addressing our liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk relating to our ability tomeet our financial obligations when they come due. At the present, our financial obligations arise mainly from capital expenditure needs, working capital requirements, and debt servicing requirements. We manage the liquidity risk by ensuring our ability to generate sufficientcash flows from operating activities and to obtain adequate, reasonable financing or extension of maturity dates under reasonablearrangements, and/or to convert non-performing or non-strategic assets into cash. - 69 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The New Zealand construction loan expired December 31, 2018.(2)Certain 2015 balances included the restatement impact as a result of a change in accounting principle (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies – Accounting Changes). For 2014, no changes made, except for the Stockholders’ Equity balance as of 12/31/2014, as we were not required topresent the restatement numbers as of December 31, 2014 for the Balance Sheet. Certain 2017 and 2016 balances included the restatement impact as aresult of a prior period financial statement correction of immaterial errors (see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Prior PeriodFinancial Statement Correction of Immaterial Errors).(3)Typically our working capital (deficit) is negative as we receive revenue from our cinema business ahead of the time that we have to pay our associatedliabilities. We use the money we receive to pay down our borrowings in the first instance.On March 2, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $25.0 million of Reading’s Class AStock. The Board on March 14, 2019, extended that program to March 2, 2021. There is currently $16.2 million of capacity remaining inthat authorization. We manage our cash, investments and capital structure so we are able to meet the short-term and long-term obligations of our business,while maintaining financial flexibility and liquidity. We forecast, analyze and monitor our cash flows to enable investment and financingwithin the overall constraints of our financial strategy. In recent years, our treasury management has been focused on more aggressive cashmanagement using cash balances to reduce debt. In earlier years, we maintained significant cash balances in our bank accounts. We haveused cash generated from operations and other excess cash, to the extent not needed for any capital expenditures, to pay down our loansand credit facilities providing us some flexibility on our available loan facilities for future use and thereby, reducing interest charges.Refer to Note 10 – Borrowings in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our various borrowing arrangements.At December 31, 2018, our consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.1 million. Of this amount, $7.6 million, $3.5 million and$2.0 million were held by our U.S., Australian and New Zealand operations, respectively. Our current intention is to reinvest indefinitelyAustralian earnings but do not have the same plan for New Zealand earnings. If the Australian earnings were used to fund U.S. operations,they could be subject to additional state income taxes upon repatriation.We have historically funded our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and investments in individual properties primarily froma combination of internally generated cash flows and debt. As noted in the preceding table, we have $55.6 million unused capacity ofavailable corporate credit facilities at December 31, 2018. In addition, we have $30.3 million unused capacity for Union Squaredevelopment uses and construction funding. - 70 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Investing activities2018: In 2018, the $64.9 million used in investing activities was mainly related to $63.5 million in capital expenditures, primarily forexpenditures in the U.S. for $45.9 million (Comprised mainly of Union Square, Mililani, Manville, and Digital Projector purchase) and$15.9 million in Australia (Comprised mainly of Newmarket, Auburn, Elizabeth and Charlestown). 2017: In 2017, the $6.8 million of cash used in investing activities was mainly related to the $65.9 million capital expenditures, whichincludes the redevelopment and expansion of our Newmarket Village ETC in Brisbane, Australia, the on-going development of our UnionSquare project, and as well as the upgrade of a number of our existing cinemas. We also used $3.7 million towards the demolition of theCourtenay Central car parking structure in Wellington, New Zealand. These are offset by the $44.7 million received from the sale of ourBurwood property as well as the $18.4 million final insurance settlement on our Courtenay Central parking structure.Financing activities2018: The cash provided by financing activities of $33.2 million in 2018 was primarily related to loan proceeds of $36.5 million; offset byrepurchase of stock of $2.3 million as part of the 2017 $25.0 million stock buyback program.2017: The $22.0 million of cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the $15.4 million in loan repayments (net of$91.0 million new loan advances), and $6.5 million used as part of the 2017 $25.0 million stock buyback program.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Where we are the plaintiffs, we expense all legal fees on an on-going basis and make no provision for any potential settlement amountsuntil received. In Australia, the prevailing party is usually entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees, which recoveries typically work out to beapproximately 60% of the amounts actually spent where first-class legal counsel is engaged at customary rates. Where we are a plaintiff, wehave likewise made no provision for the liability for the defendant’s attorneys' fees in the event we are determined not to be the prevailingparty.Where we are the defendants, we accrue for probable damages that insurance may not cover as they become known and can be reasonablyestimated. In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely to have a material adverseeffect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. It is possible, however, that future results of the operations forany particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings. Please refer to Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein in Part II, Item 8(Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) on this report for more information.Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsOther than the operating lease arrangements detailed in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated FinancialStatements included herein in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) on this report, there are no off-balance sheetarrangements or obligations (including contingent obligations) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effecton our financial condition, changes in the financial condition, revenue or expense, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures orcapital resources.FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTCurrency and interest rate riskOur Company’s objective in managing exposure to foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations is to reduce volatility of earnings andcash flows in order to allow management to focus on core business issues and challenges.We currently manage our currency exposure by creating, whenever possible, natural hedges in Australia and New Zealand. This involveslocal country sourcing of goods and services, as well as borrowing in local currencies to match revenues and expenses. Since we intend toconduct business on a self-funding basis (except for funds used to pay an appropriate share of our U.S. corporate overhead), we do notbelieve the currency fluctuations present a material risk to the Company. As such, we do not use derivative financial instruments to hedgeagainst the risk of foreign currency exposure. Our exposure to interest rate risk arises out of our long-term floating-rate borrowings. To manage the risk, we utilize interest rate derivativecontracts to convert certain floating-rate borrowings into fixed-rate borrowings. It is our Company’s policy to enter into interest ratederivative transactions only to the extent considered necessary to meet its objectives as stated above. Our Company does not enter intothese transactions or any other hedging transactions for speculative purposes.InflationWe continually monitor inflation and the effects of changing prices. Inflation increases the cost of goods and services used. Competitiveconditions in many of our markets restrict our ability to recover fully the higher costs of acquired goods and services through priceincreases. We attempt to mitigate the impact of inflation by implementing continuous process improvement solutions to enhanceproductivity and efficiency and, as a result, lower costs and operating expenses. In our opinion, we have managed the effects of inflationappropriately, and, as a result, it has not had a material impact on our operations and the resulting financial position or liquidity.- 72 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATESWe believe that the application of the following accounting policies requires significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of ourConsolidated Financial Statements and hence, are critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results:Impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assetsWe review long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangibles, for impairment as part of our annual budgeting process, at the beginningof the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fullyrecoverable. (i)Impairment of Long-lived Assets (other than Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives) – we evaluate our long-livedassets and finite-lived intangible assets using historical and projected data of cash flows as our primary indicator of potentialimpairment and we take into consideration the seasonality of our business. If the sum of the estimated, undiscounted future cashflows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value ofthe asset exceeds its estimated fair value based on an appraisal or a discounted cash flow calculation. For certain non-incomeproducing properties or for those assets with no consistent historical or projected cash flows, we obtain appraisals or otherevidence to evaluate whether there are impairment indicators for these assets.Besides the write-down of the carrying amount of our parking structure adjacent to our Courtenay Central ETC in Wellington, NewZealand due to earthquake damage during the 4th quarter of 2016, no other impairment losses were recorded for long-lived andfinite-lived intangible assets for the three years ended December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 20 – Insurance Recoveries on Impairmentand Related Losses due to Earthquake for further details.(ii)Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives – goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives arenot amortized, but instead, tested for impairment at least annually on a reporting unit basis. The impairment evaluation is basedon the present value of estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit plus the expected terminal value. There are significantassumptions and estimates used in determining the future cash flows and terminal value. The most significant assumptions includeour cost of debt and cost of equity assumptions that comprise the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit.Accordingly, actual results could vary materially from such estimates. No impairment losses were recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three years ended December 31,2018.Business CombinationIn recent years, our business acquisition efforts have been focused on our real estate segment. For real estate acquisitions meeting thedefinition of a “business” in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recordedat their fair values as of the acquisition date. To accomplish this, we typically obtain third party valuations to allocate the purchase price tothe assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including both tangible and intangible components. The determination of the fair values of theacquisition components and its related determination of the estimated lives of depreciable tangible assets and amortizing intangibleassets/liabilities require significant judgment and several considerations, as described in more detail in the section “Business AcquisitionValuation and Purchase Price Allocation” in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated FinancialStatements.Recognition of Gift Card Breakage IncomeGenerally, our revenue recognition is not assessed as an area requiring significant judgment or estimation. Revenues from ticket and foodand beverage sales are recognized when the service is provided – that is when the show has commenced, or the food provided. Transactionfees from online sales are recorded at the time of the online transaction. In regards our real estate business, we execute lease contracts forexisting tenancies, but revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Prior to 2014, we recognized revenue for our gift cards and gift certificates issued in the U.S., which do not expire and have no dormancyfees, only when they were redeemed. At the end of fourth quarter of 2016, we determined that we have sufficient historical information torecognize breakage income on them. Based on our review of our own historical redemption patterns using company-wide data accumulatedover many years, we considered it preferable to estimate a certain percentage of our gift card and gift certificate sales to be recorded asbreakage income as it better reflects of our historical redemption patterns and our earnings process. Subsequent to this, on January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers usingthe modified retrospective method. This adoption changed our revenue recognition policies for gift card breakage revenue to conform tothe requirements of the new accounting standard. This adoption is described in detail in the section Note 2 – Summary of SignificantAccounting Policies – Accounting Changes.- 73 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Tax valuation allowance and deferred taxes We record our estimated future tax benefits and liabilities arising from the temporarydifferences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well asoperating loss carry-forwards. We estimate the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessaryallowances as required. As of December 31, 2018, we had recorded approximately $32.9 million of deferred tax assets (net of $1.6 milliondeferred tax liabilities) related to the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in theaccompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards. These deferred tax assetswere offset by a valuation allowance of $6.7 million resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $26.2 million. The recoverability of deferred taxassets is dependent upon our ability to generate future taxable income.ContingenciesFor loss contingencies, we record any loss contingencies when there is a “probable” likelihood that the liability had been incurred and theamount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. For other contingencies, (i)for recoveries through an insurance claim, we record a recoverable asset (not to exceed the amount of the total losses incurred) onlywhen the collectability of such claim is considered probable. To evaluate the probable collectability of an insurance claim, weconsider communications with our insurance company.(ii)for gain contingencies resulting from legal settlements, we record those settlements in our consolidated statements of operationswhen cash or other forms of payments are received.In regards to our significant contingencies during 2018:Legal contingenciesFrom time-to-time, we are involved with claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of our business that may include contractualobligations, insurance claims, tax claims, employment matters, and anti-trust issues, among other matters. We provide accruals for mattersthat have probable likelihood of occurrence and can be properly estimated as to their expected negative outcome. We do not recordexpected gains until the proceeds (either in cash or other forms of payments) are received by us. Please refer to Note 12 – Commitments andContingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data)on this report for more information on legal matters.For a summary of our significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting estimates discussed above, see Note 2 to theConsolidated Financial Statements included herein in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) on this report. Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market RiskThe Securities and Exchange Commission requires that registrants include information about potential effects of changes in currencyexchange and interest rates in their Form 10-K filings. Several alternatives, all with some limitations, have been offered. The followingdiscussion is based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. Thisanalysis is constrained by several factors, including the following:·it is based on a single point in time; and,·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 December 31, 2018, approximately 36% and 14% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (ReadingAustralia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand), respectively, including approximately $5.5 million in cash and cashequivalents. At December 31, 2017, approximately 40% and 15% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian and NewZealand dollars, respectively, including approximately $4.5 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, we haveprocured in local currencies a majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand. Despite this natural hedge, recent movements inforeign currencies have had an effect on our current earnings. Although foreign currency has had an effect on our current earnings, theeffect of the translation adjustment on our assets and liabilities noted in our other comprehensive income was an decrease of $14.9 millionfor the year ended December 31, 2018. As we continue to progress our acquisition and development activities in Australia and NewZealand, that the foreign currency effect on our earnings may be significant in the future.- 74 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Historically, our policy has been to borrow in local currencies to finance the development and construction of our long-term assets in theU.S., Australia and New Zealand whenever possible. As a result, the borrowings in local currencies have provided somewhat of a naturalhedge against the foreign currency exchange exposure. Even so, and as a result of our issuance of fully subordinated Trust PreferredSecurities in 2007, and their subsequent partial repayment, approximately 63% and 73% of our Australian and New Zealand assets,respectively, remain subject to such exposure, unless we elect to hedge our foreign currency exchange between the U.S. and Australian andNew Zealand dollars. If the foreign currency rates were to fluctuate by 10%, the resulting change in Australian and New Zealand assetswould result in an increase or decrease of $9.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and the change in our net income for the year wouldbe $1.4 million and $43,000, respectively. Presently, we have no plan to hedge such exposure.With changes in the tax landscape caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, we may reconsider our strategy for financing operationsand redevelopment projects in the three countries we are invested in, which may include increased borrowings from banks in higher-taxcountries, and dividends to the U.S. from foreign subsidiaries, being mindful of withholding taxes on interest, and thin capitalizationlimitations on interest deduction in Australia and New Zealand.We record unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses that could materially affect our financial position. We have accumulatedunrealized foreign currency translation gains of approximately $8.7 million and $23.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,respectively.Historically, we maintained most of our cash and cash equivalent balances in short-term money market instruments with original maturitiesof six months or less. Some of our money market investments may decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to the short-term nature ofsuch investments, a change of 1% in short-term interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition.We have a combination of fixed and variable interest rate loans. In connection with our variable interest rate loans, a change ofapproximately 1% in short-term interest rates would have resulted in approximately $1.4 million increase or decrease in our 2018 interestexpense. - 75 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Our businesses consist primarily of:·the operation, development and ownership of multiplex cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; and,·the development, ownership, operation and/or rental of retail, commercial and live venue real estate assets in Australia, NewZealand, and the United States.Business SegmentsOur business is comprised of two operating segments, as follows: (i) cinema exhibition and (ii) real estate. Each of these segments hasdiscrete and separate financial information and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by our Chief Executive Officer, the chiefoperating decision-maker of the Company. As part of our real estate segment, we have acquired, and continue to hold, raw land in urbanand suburban centers in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our business segments.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which areRDGE, CRG, and CDL. We have also consolidated the following entities that are not wholly-owned for which we have control:·Australia Country Cinemas Pty, Limited, a company in which we own a 75% interest and whose only assets are our leaseholdcinemas in Townsville and Dubbo, Australia;·Sutton Hill Properties, LLC (“SHP”), a company based in New York in which we own a 75% interest and whose only asset is the feeinterest in the Cinemas 1,2,3; and,·Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC in which we own a 50% controlling membership interest and whose only asset is a 202-acreland parcel in Coachella, California.Our investment interests in certain joint venture arrangements, for which we own between 20% to 50% and for which we have no controlover the operations, are accounted for as unconsolidated joint ventures, and hence, recorded in the consolidated financial statements underthe equity method. These investment interests include our:·33.3% undivided interest in the unincorporated joint venture that owns the Mt. Gravatt cinema in a suburb of Brisbane, Australia;·50% undivided interest in the unincorporated joint venture that owns Rialto Cinemas.- 93 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. We consider that we have control over our partially-owned subsidiaries and joint venture interests (collectively “investee”) when theseconditions exist:(i)we own a majority of the voting rights or interests of the investee (typically above 50%), or(ii)in the case when we own less than the majority voting rights or interests, we have the power over the investee when the votingrights or interests are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not our voting rights in the investee are sufficient togive it power, including:(i)the size of our voting rights and interests relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other vote holders;(ii)potential voting rights and interests held by us;(iii)rights and interests arising from other contractual arrangements; and,(iv)any additional other relevant facts.All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.Use of EstimatesThe preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Hence, actual results may differ from thoseestimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to:(i)projections we make regarding the recoverability and impairment of our assets (including goodwill and intangibles);(ii)valuations of our derivative instruments;(iii)allocation of insurance proceeds to various recoverable components;(iv)recoverability of our deferred tax; and,(v)estimation of gift card and gift certificate breakage where we have concluded that the likelihood of redemption is remote. Revenue Recognition (i)Cinema Exhibition Segment (all net of related taxes):·Sales of Cinema ticket (excluding bulk and advanced ticket sales) and food and beverage (“F&B”) sales – recognized when soldand collected, either in cash or credit card at our theatre locations and through our online selling channels; ·Sales of Bulk and Advanced Cinema Ticket Sales – deferred and recognized as revenue when the promised performance or moviethat the ticket has been purchased for is shown;·Gift Cards and Gift Certificate Sales – deferred and recognized as revenue when redeemed, except for the breakage portion, asdescribed below;·Breakage Income – recognized for unredeemed cards and certificates using the proportional method, whereby breakage revenue isrecognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer when the Company expects that it is probable that asignificant revenue reversal would not occur for any estimated breakage amounts. This is based on a breakage ‘experience rate’which is determined by historical redemption data;·Loyalty Income - a component of revenue from members of our loyalty programs relating to the earning of loyalty rewards isdeferred until such a time as members redeem rewards, or until we believe the likelihood of redemption by the member is remote.Deferral is based on the progress made toward the next reward, the fair value of that reward, and the likelihood of redemption,determined by historical redemption data, and;·Advertising Revenues – recognized based on contractual arrangements or relevant admissions information, as appropriate, whenthe related performance obligation is satisfied.(ii)Real Estate Segment: ·Property Rentals –we contractually retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of our real estate properties andtherefore, we account for our tenant leases as operating leases. Accordingly, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basisover the lease term; and, ·Live Theatre License Fees – we have real property interest in and license theatre space to third parties for the presentation oftheatrical productions. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the license agreement, and is typically recorded on a weeklybasis after the performance of a show has occurred.- 94 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Cash and Cash EquivalentsWe consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents forwhich cost approximates fair value.ReceivablesOur receivables balance is composed primarily of credit card receivables, representing the purchase price of tickets, food & beverage items,or coupon books sold at our various businesses. Sales charged on customer credit cards are collected when the credit card transactions areprocessed. The remaining receivables balance is primarily made up of the sales tax refund receivable from our Australian taxing authoritiesand the management fee receivable from the managed cinemas and property damage insurance recovery proceeds. We have no history ofsignificant bad debt losses and we have established an allowance for accounts that we deem uncollectible.InventoryInventory is composed of food and beverage items in our theater operations and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) ornet realizable value.Restricted CashRestricted cash includes those cash accounts for which the use of funds is restricted by any contract or bank covenant. At December 31,2018 and 2017, our restricted cash balance, included as part of prepaid and other current assets, was $1.3 million and $17,000,respectively. Derivative Financial InstrumentsFrom time-to-time, we purchase interest rate derivative instruments to hedge the interest rate risk that results from the variability of ourfloating-rate borrowings. Our use of derivative transactions is intended to reduce long-term fluctuations in cash flows caused by marketmovements. Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value through interest expense in theConsolidated Statement of Operations or, in the case of accounting hedges, in Other Comprehensive Income and then reclassified intointerest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The cash flows from interest rate derivatives areclassified as cashflows provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Cashflow Statement, as are the hedged transactions. As ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017 we have unfavorable derivative positions designated as accounting hedges of $186,000 and $nil,respectively.Operating Properties, netOur Operating Properties consist of land, buildings and improvements, leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment, which we use toderive operating income associated with our two business segments, cinema exhibition and real estate. Buildings and improvements,leasehold improvements, fixtures and equipment are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value and depreciated over theuseful lives of the related assets. Land is not depreciated. Expenditures relating to renovations, betterments or improvements to existingassets are capitalized if it improves or extends the lives of the respective assets and/or provides long-term future net cash inflows, includingthe potential for cost savings.Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimateduseful lives are generally as follows: Building and improvements15 – 60 yearsLeasehold improvementsShorter of the lease term or useful life of the improvementTheater equipment7 yearsFurniture and fixtures3 – 10 yearsInvestment and Development Properties, netInvestment and Development Properties consist of land, buildings and improvements under development, and their associated capitalizedinterest and other development costs that we are either holding for development, currently developing, or holding for investmentappreciation purposes. These properties are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. Within this category are buildingand improvement costs directly associated with the development of potential cinemas (whether for sale or lease), the development ofentertainment-themed centers (“ETCs”), or other improvements to real property. As incurred, we expense start-up costs (such as pre-openingcinema advertising and training expense) and other costs not directly related to the acquisition and development of long-term assets. Wecease cost capitalization (including interest) on a development property when the property is complete and ready for its intended use, or ifactivities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use have been substantially- 95 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. curtailed. However, we do not suspend cost capitalization for brief interruptions and interruptions that are externally imposed, such asmandates from governmental authorities. Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsWe review long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangibles, for impairment as part of our annual budgeting process, at the beginningof the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be fullyrecoverable. We review internal management reports on a monthly basis as well as monitor current and potential future competition in film markets forindications of potential impairment. (i)Impairment of Long-lived Assets (other than Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives) – we evaluate our long-livedassets and finite-lived intangible assets using historical and projected data of cash flows as our primary indicator of potentialimpairment and we take into consideration the seasonality of our business. If the sum of the estimated, undiscounted future cashflows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, then an impairment is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value ofthe asset exceeds its estimated fair value based on an appraisal or a discounted cash flow calculation. For certain non-incomeproducing properties or for those assets with no consistent historical or projected cash flows, we obtain appraisals or otherevidence to evaluate whether there are impairment indicators for these assets.No impairment losses were recorded for long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets for the three years ended December 31, 2018,based on historical information and projected cash flow. We recorded a write-down of the carrying amount of our parking structureadjacent to our Courtenay Central ETC in Wellington, New Zealand due to earthquake damage during the Fourth Quarter of 2016,which was subsequently fully recovered through the final insurance settlement in May 2017. Refer to Note 20 – InsuranceRecoveries on Impairment and Related Losses due to Earthquake for further details.(ii)Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with indefinite lives – goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives arenot amortized, but instead, tested for impairment at least annually on a reporting unit basis. The impairment evaluation is basedon the present value of estimated future cash flows of the segment plus the expected terminal value. There are significantassumptions and estimates used in determining the future cash flows and terminal value. The most significant assumptions includeour cost of debt and cost of equity assumptions that comprise the weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit.Accordingly, actual results could vary materially from such estimates. No impairment losses were recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three years ended December 31,2018.Variable Interest Entity The Company enters into relationships or investments with other entities that may be a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A VIE isconsolidated in the financial statements if the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economicperformance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially besignificant to the VIE.Reading International Trust I is a VIE. It is not consolidated in our financial statements because we are not the primary beneficiary. Wecarry our investment in the Reading International Trust I, recorded under “Other Assets”, using the equity method of accounting becausewe have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) over operating and financial policies of the entity. We eliminatetransactions with an equity method entity to the extent of our ownership in such an entity. Accordingly, our share of net income/(loss) ofthis equity method entity is included in consolidated net income/(loss). We have no implicit or explicit obligation to further fund ourinvestment in Reading International Trust I.Property Held for SaleWhen a property is classified as held for sale, we present the respective assets and liabilities related to the property held for sale separatelyon the balance sheet and cease to record depreciation and amortization expense. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of theircarrying value or their estimated fair value less the estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2016, we classified our landholding inBurwood, Australia as land held for sale as a result of a sale transaction on May 12, 2014, this transaction closed during December2017.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. Deferred Leasing/Financing CostsDirect costs incurred in connection with obtaining tenants and or financing are amortized over the respective term of the loan utilizing theeffective interest method, or straight-line method if the result is not materially different. In addition, interest on loans with increasinginterest rates and scheduled principal pre-payments are also recognized on the effective interest method. Net deferred financing costs arepresented as a reduction in the associated debt account (see Note 10 – Borrowings) in line with our adoption of ASU 2015-03, whichbecame effective since January 1, 2016.Film Rental CostsFilm rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and estimates of the final settlement to the film licensors.Advertising ExpenseWe expense our advertising as incurred. The amount of our advertising expense was $2.4 million, $2.3 million, and $2.3 million 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.Operating LeasesA majority of our cinema operations are conducted in premises under non-cancellable lease arrangements with initial base terms generallyranging between 5 to 15 years, with certain leases containing renewal options to extend the lease term to an additional term of up to 20years. We evaluated the classification of our leases and concluded all of these arrangements as operating leases. Lease expense is recordedon a straight-line basis over the initial base terms, taking into effect any rate change clauses. Any subsequent increases or decreases inrental payments that result from factors not anticipated during lease inception or factors that are based on meeting future targets, other thanindexation factors, represent contingent rentals and are fully accruable at the period the trigger event occurs.Share-based CompensationThe determination of the compensation cost for our share-based awards (primarily in the form of stock options or restricted stock units) ismade at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award, and such cost is recognized over the grantee’s requisite service period(which typically equates to our vesting term). Previously recognized compensation cost shall be reversed for any forfeited award to theextent unvested at the time of forfeiture. Refer to Note 14 – Share-based Compensation and Repurchase Plans for further details.Treasury SharesIn recent years, we repurchased our own Class A common shares as part of a publicly announced stock repurchase plan with no currentintent for retiring those reacquired shares. We account for these repurchases using the cost method and present these as a separate linewithin the Stockholders’ Equity section in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 14 – Share-based Compensation andRepurchase Plans for further details of our stock buyback plan.Insurance Recoveries and Other Contingency Matters(i)Loss contingencies – we record any loss contingencies if there is a “probable” likelihood that the liability had been incurred, andthe amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. (ii)Gain contingencies:·Insurance recoveries – in the event we incur a loss attributable to an impairment of an asset or incurrence of a liability that isrecoverable, in whole or in part, through an insurance claim, we record an insurance recoverable (not to exceed the amount of thetotal losses incurred) only when the collectability of such claim is probable. To evaluate the probable collectability of aninsurance claim, we consider communications with third parties (such as with our insurance company), in addition to advice fromlegal counsel.·Others – other gain contingencies typically result from legal settlements and we record those settlements in income when cash orother forms of payments are received.Legal costs relating to our litigation matters, whether we are the plaintiff or the defendant, are recorded when incurred. For the years endedDecember 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, we recorded gains/(losses) relating to litigation settlement of $nil, $1.8 million, and $415,000,respectively.- 97 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Translation PolicyThe financial statements and transactions of our Australian and New Zealand cinema and real estate operations are recorded in theirfunctional currencies, namely Australian and New Zealand dollars, respectively, and are then translated into U.S. dollars. Assets andliabilities of these operations are denominated in their functional currencies and are then translated at exchange rates in effect at thebalance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments arereported in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” a component of Stockholders’ Equity.The carrying values of our Australian and New Zealand assets fluctuate due to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and theAustralian and New Zealand dollars. Presented in the table below are the currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand as of andfor the three years ended December 31, 2018: As of andfor the year endedDecember 31, 2018 As of andfor the year endedDecember 31, 2017 As of andfor the year endedDecember 31, 2016Spot Rate Australian Dollar 0.7046 0.7815 0.7230New Zealand Dollar 0.6711 0.7100 0.6958Average Rate Australian Dollar 0.7479 0.7670 0.7440New Zealand Dollar 0.6930 0.7111 0.6973Income TaxesWe account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilitiesare recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts ofexisting assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expectedto apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, and are classified asnoncurrent on the balance sheets in accordance with current US GAAP. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reducedeferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense (benefit) is the tax payable (refundable) for the period and thechange during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The effect of a change in tax rates or law on deferred tax assets and liabilitiesis recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating ourability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negativeevidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recentfinancial operations.A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained uponexamination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluationof new information not previously available. We record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expenseand in income tax related balance sheet accounts. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may resultin a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases ordecreases to income tax expense in the period in which it is determined a change in recognition or measurement is appropriate.The Tax Act creates a new requirement for U.S. corporations to include in U.S. taxable income certain earnings of their foreign subsidiaries,effective beginning tax year 2018. The Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) framework introduces a new tax on foreign earningsof U.S. based consolidated groups. We record taxes related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. Earnings Per ShareThe Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable tothe Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is based upon the weightedaverage number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year, which is calculated using the treasury-stockmethod for equity-based awards. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in periods for which theyhave an anti-dilutive effect. Stock options for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period are anti-dilutiveand, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.- 98 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Business Acquisition Valuation and Purchase Price AllocationIn recent years, our business acquisition efforts have been focused on our real estate segment. For real estate acquisitions meeting thedefinition of a “business” in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recordedat their fair values as of the acquisition date. To accomplish this, we typically obtain third party valuations to allocate the purchase price tothe assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including both tangible and intangible components. The determination of the fair values of theacquisition components and its related determination of the estimated lives of depreciable tangible assets and amortizing intangibleassets/liabilities require significant judgment and several considerations, described as follows:(i)Tangible assets – we allocate the purchase price to the tangible assets of an acquired property (which typically includes land,building and site/tenant improvements) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets assuming the building wasvacant. Estimates of fair value for land are based on factors such as comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographicarea adjusted for unique characteristics. Estimates of fair values of buildings and site/tenant improvements are based on presentvalues determined based upon the application of hypothetical leases with market rates and terms. Building and site improvementsare depreciated over their remaining economic lives, while tenant improvements are depreciated over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.(ii)Intangible assets and liabilities – the valuation of the intangible assets and liabilities in a typical real estate acquisition isdescribed below:·Above-market and below-market leases – we record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired propertiesbased on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differencebetween (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market leaserates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Weamortize any capitalized above-market lease values (an intangible asset) and capitalized below-market lease values (an intangibleliability) over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.·Benefit of avoided costs due to existing tenancies – this typically includes (i) in-place leases (the value of avoided lease-up costs)and (ii) leasing commissions and legal/marketing costs avoided with the leases in place. We measure the fair values of the in-placeleases based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii)the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered in the fair value determination include an estimate of carrying costs duringhypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. We alsoconsider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasingactivities in estimating the fair value of the intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management includes realestate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-upperiods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal, and other relatedexpenses to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.We amortize the value of in-place leases and unamortized leasing origination costs to expense over the remaining term of therespective leases. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease values and leasing originationcosts will be charged to expense.These assessments have a direct impact on revenue and net income, particularly on the depreciable base of the allocated assets which willimpact the timing of expense allocation. In accordance with our adoption of ASU 2015-16, we record the changes in depreciation andamortization in the period we finalized our purchase price allocation.Accounting Changes Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting PronouncementsAdopted:On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modifiedretrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the openingbalance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accountingstandards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our net income and cashflows from operations on an ongoing basis.Our cinema and food and beverage revenue continues to be recognized upon sale and completion of the provision of the movie orperformance, or delivery of food and beverage items. Where necessary, revenue is deferred until these obligations are discharged. Propertyrentals continue to be recognized on a straight line basis, and live theatre license fees continue to be based on a percentage of weekly ticketsales. Under the new standard, rewards owed to and points accrued by members of our customer loyalty programs are held as deferredrevenue.

This standard requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents should becombined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on the statement of cashflows. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material effect on our consolidated statement of cash flows.On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receiptsand Cash Payments. The standard applies to eight (8) specific cash flow classification issues, reducing the current and potential futurediversity in the presentation of certain cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material effect on our consolidatedstatement of cash flows.On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation ofNet Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This standard (i) requires that an employer disaggregate theservice cost component from the other components of net benefit cost, and (ii) specifies how to present the service cost component and theother components of net benefit cost in the income statement and (iii) allows only the service cost component of net benefit cost to beeligible for capitalization. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.- 100 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This ASU provides that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a singleidentifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the asset is not a “business”, thus reducing the number of transactions that needfurther evaluation for business combination. The adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material effect on our current consolidatedfinancial statements, and we do not expect it to be applicable to our consolidated financial statements in the near term unless we enter intoa definitive business acquisition transaction.On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to EmployeeShare-Based Payment Accounting. This new guidance, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016,provides for the simplification of several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including (i) accounting for taxbenefits in excess of compensation cost and tax deficiencies, (ii) accounting for forfeitures, and (iii) classification on the statement of cashflows. The only significant impact of the adoption of this new guidance to us is the immediate recognition of excess tax benefits (or“windfalls”) and tax deficiencies (or “shortfalls”) in the consolidated statement of operations. Previously, (i) tax windfalls were recorded inadditional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and (ii) tax shortfalls were recorded in APIC to theextent of previous windfalls and then to the consolidated statement of operations. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a materialimpact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.Further, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying theTransition to the Equity Method of Accounting. This new guidance effectively removes the retroactive application imposed in currentguidance when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree ofinfluence. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to thecurrent basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomesqualified for equity method accounting. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU2016-07 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties that are underCommon Control. This new guidance alters how a decision maker needs to consider interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) heldthrough an entity under common control and amends the previously issued ASU 2015-02. Under the new ASU, if a decision maker isrequired to evaluate whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it will need to consider only its proportionate indirect interest in the VIEheld through a common control party. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU2016-17 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.Issued:vASUs Effective 2019 and Beyond·New Lease Accounting Model (ASU 2016-02, Leases: Topic 842)In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability amongorganizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Mostprominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leasesclassified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective ofenabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We will berequired to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periodpresented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available.The standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We have not elected to early adopt thisstandard, and instead are adopting this standard on its effective date. Our implementation project is substantially complete. Inpreparation for adoption of the standard, we have implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable thepreparation of financial information. We are electing all available practical expedients, and transitioning using the modifiedretrospective approach.The standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but will not have a material impact on ourconsolidated income statements. The most significant impact will be the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities foroperating leases, while our accounting for capital leases remains substantially unchanged. Adoption of the standard will result inthe recognition of additional ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $250.0 million as of January 1,2019.- 101 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020,including interim periods within the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment testsperformed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impacton our consolidated financial statements.Prior period financial statement correction of immaterial errorsDuring the third quarter of 2018, we identified immaterial errors related to the accounting for straight line rent receivable from tenants inour real estate operations dating back to 2015. These errors resulted in an understatement of real estate revenue for certain prior periods.We assessed the materiality of these errors on our financial statements for prior periods in accordance with the SEC Staff AccountingBulletin (SAB) No. 99, Materiality, codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 250, Presentation of Financial Statements, andconcluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim periods. However, the aggregate amount of $440,000 related to theprior period immaterial errors through June 30, 2018, would have been material to the quarterly accounts within our three months toSeptember 30, 2018, Consolidated Statements of Income. Consequently, in accordance with ASC 250 (specifically SAB No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), we havecorrected these errors for all prior periods presented by revising the consolidated financial statements and other financial informationincluded herein.The following is a summary of the previously issued financial statement line items for all periods and statements included in this Form 10-Kreport.Consolidated Statements of Income: Year Ended December 31, 2017 Year Ended December 31, 2016(Dollars in thousands) As Reported Adjustment As Revised As Reported Adjustment As RevisedReal estate revenue $16,270 145 16,415 $13,551 393 13,944 Total revenue 279,734 145 279,879 270,473 393 270,866 Operating income 20,561 145 20,706 20,311 393 20,704 Income before income taxes 34,347 145 34,492 13,437 393 13,830 Income tax expense (3,337) (43) (3,380) (4,020) (118) (4,138)Net income 31,010 102 31,112 9,417 275 9,692 Net income attributable to Reading International,Inc. common shareholders 30,999 102 31,101 9,403 275 9,678 Basic earnings per share $1.35 — 1.35 $0.40 0.02 0.42 Diluted earnings per share 1.33 0.01 1.34 0.40 0.01 0.41 Consolidated Balance Sheets:Summary of Equity(Dollars in thousands)As ReportedAdjustmentAs RevisedEquity at January 1, 2016$138,951 —138,951 Net income9,403 275 9,678 Equity at December 31, 2016146,615 275 146,890 Equity at January 1, 2017146,615 275 146,890 Net income30,999 102 31,101 Equity at December 31, 2017181,241 377 181,618 - 102 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2016, we determined that we have sufficient historical informationto recognize breakage income on them. Based on our review of our own historical redemption patterns using company-wide dataaccumulated over many years, we considered it preferable to estimate and record a certain percentage of our gift card and gift certificatesales as breakage income as it better reflects of our historical redemption patterns and our earnings process. Effectively, we concluded thata portion of these sales may have a remote likelihood of redemption based on our own historical redemption patterns and thus de-recognized the liability associated with them. The adoption of ASC 606 in 2018, as described in “Recently Adopted and IssuedAccounting Pronouncements,” has superseded this change. Out-of-Period Adjustment during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017:In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, we recorded out-of-period adjustments of $544,000 to increase our occupancy cost expense in ourconsolidated statements of operations. The adjustments were made to correct our rent expense account under the straight line method ofexpense recognition. We determined that the adjustments did not have a material impact to our current or prior period consolidatedfinancial statements.Out-of-Period Adjustment during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, we recorded out-of-period adjustments of $611,000 to decrease our income tax expenses in ourconsolidated statements of operations. The adjustments, which increased deferred tax asset by $611,000, were made to correct our incometax and related deferred tax asset accounts. We determined that the adjustments did not have a material impact to our current or prior periodconsolidated financial statements.- 103 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Real Estate AcquisitionsBuilding & Landholding in Auburn, Australia (Asset Acquisition, 2018)On June 29, 2018, we purchased a property for $3.5 million (AU$4.5 million) in Auburn (Sydney area), Australia. Final settlement was madeon October 11, 2018. The property which borders our Redyard ETC in Auburn on three sides and consists of an approximately 16,830square foot building located on an estimated 20,870 square foot lot, is subject to a lease to Telstra Corporation through July 2022. Thiswill allow us time to plan for its efficient integration into our ETC. Including this acquisition, our Redyard ETC represents approximately519,992 square feet (48,309 square meters) of land, with approximately 1,620 feet (498 meters) of uninterrupted frontage to ParramattaRoad, a major Sydney arterial motorway and approximately 147,000 square feet of net rentable area.Landholding Acquisition in Townsville, Australia (Asset Acquisition, 2018)On June 13, 2018, we acquired a 163,000 square foot (15,150 square meter) parcel of land at our Cannon Park ETC, in connection with therestructuring of our relationship with the adjacent landowner. Prior to the restructuring, this parcel was commonly owned by us and theadjoining landowner. In the restructuring, the adjoining landowner conveyed to us its interest in the parcel for AU$1.

To test the impairment of goodwill, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unitto its carrying amount, including the goodwill, to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. A reporting unit is generally onelevel below the operating segment. The most recent annual assessment occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Tax Act significantly changed theU.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, imposed a one-time mandatory repatriation taxon deferred earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and changed how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax. As the result of the Tax Act andunder the guidance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, we recorded a provisional taxexpense of approximately $13.0 million for the impact of the Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the fourth quarter of 2018, uponfinalizing the analysis of the impact from the Tax Act, we recorded a tax benefit of $2.3 million as an adjustment to the provisionalestimate, for a net tax impact of $10.7 million. The $2.3 million is comprised of an adjustment of $1.2 million to the impact of the one-timemandatory repatriation tax on previously undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and $1.1 million from the re-measurement offederal net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate.- 107 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

This new $20.0 million loan is collateralized by our Cinema 1,2,3 property and bears an interestrate of 3.25% per annum, with principal installments and accruing interest paid monthly. The new loan matures on September 1, 2019, witha one-time option to extend maturity date for another year. The Company presently intends to exercise that option and to extend thematurity date until September 1, 2020.Bank of America Credit FacilityOn March 3, 2016, we amended our $55.0 million credit facility with Bank of America to permit real property acquisition loans. Thisamendment reduces the applicable consolidated leverage ratio covenant by 0.25% and modifies the term of the facility based on the earlierof the eighteen months from the date of such borrowing or the maturity date of the credit agreement. Such modification was not consideredsubstantial in accordance with U.S. GAAP. On March 5, 2019, this Credit Facility was extended for six (6) months to May 1, 2020. Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”)On February 5, 2007, we issued $51.5 million in 20-year fully subordinated notes to a trust over which we have significant influence, whichin turn issued $51.5 million in securities. Of the $51.5 million, $50.0 million in TPS were issued to unrelated investors in a privateplacement and $1.5 million of common trust securities were issued by the trust to Reading called “Investment in Reading InternationalTrust I” on our balance sheets. Effective May 1, 2012, the interest rate on our Trust Preferred Securities changed from a fixed rate of 9.22%,which was in effect for five years, to a variable rate of three month LIBOR plus 4.00%, which will reset each quarter through the end of theloan unless we exercise our right to re-fix the rate at the current market rate at that time. There are no principal payments due until maturityin 2027 when the notes and the trust securities are scheduled to be paid in full. We may pay off the debt after the first five years at 100% ofthe principal amount without any penalty. The trust is essentially a pass through, and the transaction is accounted for on our books as theissuance of fully subordinated notes. The credit facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants designed to monitor ourability to service the debt. The most restrictive covenant of the facility requires that we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio at acertain level. However, on December 31, 2008, we secured a waiver of all financial covenants with respect to our TPS for a period of nineyears (through December 31, 2017), in consideration of the payment of $1.6 million, consisting of an initial payment of $1.1 million, apayment of $270,000 made in December 2011, and a payment of $270,000 in December 2014.

During the first quarter of 2009, we took advantage of the then current market illiquidity for securities such as our TPS to repurchase$22.9 million in face value of those securities through an exchange of $11.5 million worth of marketable securities purchased during theperiod for the express purpose of executing this exchange transaction with the third party holder of these TPS. During the twelve monthsended 2009, we amortized $106,000 of discount to interest income associated with the holding of these securities prior to theirextinguishment. On April 30, 2009, we extinguished $22.9 million of these TPS, which resulted in a gain on retirement of subordinateddebt (TPS) of $10.7 million net of loss on the associated write-off of deferred loan costs of $749,000 and a reduction in our Investment inReading International Trust I from $1.5 million to $838,000.During the three years ended December 31, 2018, we paid $1.4 million in 2016 and 2017 and $1.6 million in 2018 in preferred dividends tounrelated investors that are included in interest expense.

Interest payments for this loan are required every three months.Debt denominated in foreign currenciesAustralian NAB Corporate Loan FacilityOn March 15, 2019, we amended our Revolving Corporate Markets Loan Facility with National Australia Bank (“NAB) from a facilitycomprised of (i) a AU$66.5 million loan facility with an interest rate of 0.95% above the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (“BBSY) and a maturitydate of June 30, 2019 and (ii) a bank guarantee of AU$5.0 million at a rate of 1.90% per annum into a (i) AU$120.0 million Corporate Loanfacility at rates of 0.85%-1.3% above BBSY depending on certain ratios with a due date of December 31, 2023, of which AU$80.0 millionis revolving and AU$40.0 million is core and (ii) a Bank Guarantee Facility of AU$5.0 million at a rate of 1.85% per annum. Prior to this,on June 12, 2018, we had extended the maturity of these facilities from June 30, 2019, to December 31, 2019. Such modifications of thisparticular term loan were not considered to be substantial under US GAAP.New Zealand Westpac Bank Corporate Credit FacilityOn December 20, 2018, we restructured our Westpac Corporate Credit Facilities. The maturity of the 1st tranche (general/non-constructioncredit line) was extended to December 31, 2023, with the available facility being reduced from NZ$35.0 million to NZ$32.0 million. Thefacility bears an interest rate of 1.75% above the Bank Bill Bid Rate on the drawn down balance and a 1.1% line of credit charge on theentire facility. The 2nd tranche (construction line) with a facility of NZ$18.0 million was removed.

NOTE 11 – PENSION AND OTHER LIABILITIESOther liabilities including pension are summarized as follows: December 31,(Dollars in thousands) 2018 2017Current liabilities Liability for demolition and remediation costs(1) $2,630 $2,781 Lease liability(2) 5,900 5,900 Accrued pension(3) 684 2,907 Security deposit payable 84 91 Other 7 —Other current liabilities $9,305 $11,679 Other liabilities Straight-line rent liability $16,362 $13,444 Accrued pension(3) 4,670 5,228 Lease make-good provision 5,614 5,648 Environmental reserve 1,656 1,656 Deferred Revenue - Real Estate 32 18 Acquired leases 91 186 Other 506 469 Other liabilities $28,931 $26,649 (1)Refer to Note 20 – Insurance Recoveries on Impairment and Related Losses due to Earthquake for details on the estimation of the demolition costs forour Courtenay Central parking structure. (2)Represents the lease liability of the option associated with the ground lease purchase of the Village East Cinema. See below for more information.(3)Represents the pension liability associated with the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan explained below.Lease Liability - Village East Purchase OptionOur Village East lease includes a call option pursuant to which we may purchase the cinema ground lease for $5.9 million at the end of thelease term in June 2020. Additionally, our lease has a put option pursuant to which SHC may require our Company to purchase all or aportion of SHC’s interest in the existing cinema lease and the cinema ground lease at any time between July 1, 2013 and December 4,2019. SHC’s put option may be exercised on one or more occasions in increments of not less than $100,000 each. Because our lateChairman, Chief Executive Officer, and controlling shareholder, Mr. James J. Cotter, Sr. was also the managing member of SHC, RDI andSHC are considered entities under common control. As a result, we have recorded the Village East Cinema building as a property asset of$4.7 million on our balance sheet based on the cost carry-over basis from an entity under common control with a corresponding leaseliability of $5.9 million presented under other liabilities which accreted up to the $5.9 million liability through July 1, 2013 (see Note 19 –Related Parties). As the put option has been exercisable by SHC since July 1, 2013, the lease liability has been classified as part of othercurrent liabilities.Pension Liability - Supplemental Executive Retirement PlanOn August 29, 2014, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) that was effective since March 1, 2007, was ended andreplaced with a new pension annuity. As a result of the termination of the SERP program, the accrued pension liability of $7.6 million wasreversed and replaced with a new pension annuity liability of $7.5 million. The valuation of the liability is based on the present value of$10.2 million discounted at 4.25% over a 15-year term, resulting in a monthly payment of $56,944 payable to the estate of Mr. James J.Cotter, Sr. The discount rate of 4.25% has been applied since 2014 to determine the net periodic benefit cost and plan benefit obligationand is expected to be used in future years. The discounted value of $2.7 million (which is the difference between the estimated payout of$10.2 million and the present value of $7.5 million) will be amortized and expensed based on the 15-year term. In addition, theaccumulated actuarial loss of $3.1 million recorded, as part of other comprehensive income, will also be amortized based on the 15-yearterm.As a result of the above, included in our other current and non-current liabilities are accrued pension costs of $5.4 million and $8.1 millionas of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The benefits of our pension plans are fully vested and therefore no service costs wererecognized 2018 and 2017. Our pension plans are unfunded. - 114 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Lease Make-Good ProvisionWe recognize obligations for future leasehold restoration costs relating to properties that we use mostly on our cinema operations underoperating lease arrangements. Each lease is unique to the negotiated conditions with the lessor, but in general most leases require for theremoval of cinema-related assets and improvements. There are no assets specifically restricted to settle this obligation.A reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amounts of the lease make-good provision is presented in the following table:(Dollars in thousands) As of and forthe year endedDecember 31,2018 As of and forthe year endedDecember 31,2017Lease make-good provision, at January 1 $5,648 $5,146 Liabilities incurred during the year — —Liabilities settled during the year — —Accretion expense 292 282 Effect of changes in foreign currency (326) 220 Lease make-good provision, at December 31 $5,614 $5,648 NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESInsofar as our Company is aware, there are no claims, arbitration proceedings, or litigation proceedings that constitute potentially materialcontingent liabilities of our Company.

(2)Consistent with our accounting policy for loss and gain contingencies discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and furtherdiscussed in more details below.Litigation MattersWe are currently involved in certain legal proceedings and, as required, have accrued estimates of probable and estimable losses for theresolution of these claims, including legal costs.·Where we are the plaintiffs, we accrue legal fees as incurred on an on-going basis and make no provision for any potentialsettlement amounts until received. In Australia, the prevailing party is usually entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees, whichrecoveries typically work out to be approximately 60% of the amounts actually spent where first-class legal counsel is engaged atcustomary rates. Where we are a plaintiff, we have likewise made no provision for the liability for the defendant’s attorneys' fees inthe event we are determined not to be the prevailing party.·Where we are the defendants, we accrue for probable damages that insurance may not cover as they become known and can bereasonably estimated. In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely tohave a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. It is possible, however, thatfuture results of the operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by the ultimate outcomeof the legal proceedings. From time-to-time, we are involved with claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of ourbusiness that may include contractual obligations, insurance claims, tax claims, employment matters, and anti-trust issues, amongother matters.- 116 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results. All of these matters require significant judgments based on the facts known to us. These judgments are inherently uncertain and can changesignificantly when additional facts become known. We provide accruals for matters that have probable likelihood of occurrence and can beproperly estimated as to their expected negative outcome. We do not record expected gains until the proceeds are received by us. However,we typically make no accruals for potential costs of defense, as such amounts are inherently uncertain and dependent upon the scope,extent and aggressiveness of the activities of the applicable plaintiff.Environmental and Asbestos Claims on Reading Legacy OperationsCertain of our subsidiaries were historically involved in railroad operations, coal mining, and manufacturing. Also, certain of thesesubsidiaries appear in the chain-of-title of properties that may suffer from pollution. Accordingly, certain of these subsidiaries have, fromtime-to-time, been named in and may in the future be named in various actions brought under applicable environmental laws. Also, we arein the real estate development business and may encounter from time-to-time unanticipated environmental conditions at properties that wehave acquired for development. These environmental conditions can increase the cost of such projects and adversely affect the value andpotential for profit of such projects. We do not currently believe that our exposure under applicable environmental laws is material inamount.From time-to-time, there are claims brought against us relating to the exposure of former employees of our railroad operations to asbestosand coal dust. These are generally covered by an insurance settlement reached in September 1990 with our insurance providers. However,this insurance settlement does not cover litigation by people who were not our employees and who may claim second-hand exposure toasbestos, coal dust and/or other chemicals or elements now recognized as potentially causing cancer in humans. Our known exposure tothese types of claims, asserted or probable of being asserted, is not material.Tax Audit/LitigationThe Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) examined the tax return of Craig Corporation (“CRG”) for its tax year ended June 30, 1997. CRGwas a stand-alone entity in the year of audit but is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In Tax Court, CRG and the IRS agreedto compromise the claims made by the IRS against CRG, and the court order was entered on January 6, 2011. As of December 31, 2018, theremaining federal tax obligation was $3.0 million.

Cotter, AAA Case No. 01-15-0004-2384, filed July 2015RDIAmericanArbitrationAssociationWhile our Company is the named claimant, this matter relatesessentially to Cotter, Jr.’s claims for compensation and damagesrelated to his termination as our Company’s president and chiefexecutive officer. The Arbitrator has determined that, while Cotter,Jr. had breached his obligations under his Employment Agreementwith our Company, Cotter, Jr’s failure to resign as an officerand/director of our Company was not sufficiently material to allowour Company relief from its obligations under the EmploymentAgreement to pay certain specified separation amounts, totaling$313,000 (the “Separation Payment Amount”) plus interest at therate of 10% from June 12, 2016, until the award was paid in full onMarch 6, 2019. The Arbitrator denied on substantive grounds Cotter, Jr’s claimsfor consequential damages and for damages based on various torttheories and/or upon wrongful termination claims and, denied onjurisdictional grounds, Cotter Jr’s claims that the unvested stockoptions granted to him under his Employment Agreement did notexpire upon his termination and continued to be exercisable by himso long as he continued as a director of our Company. Determining that Cotter, Jr. was the prevailing party, the Arbitratorhas awarded Cotter, Jr. $443,000 of his requested $787,769 inattorney’s fees and costs. The Arbitrator also assessed the costs ofthe arbitration against our Company and ordered a reimbursementof such costs paid to date by Cotter Jr. in the amount of $19,250. The determinations of the Arbitrator are final and binding on theparties, and not subject to appeal. The interest and any cost reimbursements awarded to Cotter, Jr.,was approximately $86,000. · Direct Case against the Companyseeking reimbursement andadvancement of attorney’s feesincurred with respect to theEmployment Agreement Arbitration: James J.

Cotter Living Trust datedAugust 1, 2000 (Case No.BP159755)Ellen Cotterand MargaretCotter, asTrusteesCalifornia SuperiorCourtThe California Superior Court has ruled that Cotter, Jr., is not atrustee of either the James J. Cotter Living Trust (the “Cotter LivingTrust”) or of the voting trust established under the Living Trust (the“Cotter Voting Trust”) to eventually hold the Class B VotingCommon Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Cotter, Sr., at the timeof his passing. The California Superior Court further determinedthat Ellen Cotter and Margaret Cotter are the sole trustees of theCotter Living Trust and that Margaret Cotter is the sole trustee ofthe Cotter Voting Trust. Accordingly, Cotter, Jr., has neitherdispositive power nor voting power over any of the Class B VotingCommon Stock currently held by the Cotter Estate or the CotterLiving Trust, or which it is anticipated will be held by the CotterVoting Trust. The time to appeal that ruling has now lapsed. At December 31, 2018, the Cotter Estate held 427,808 shares ofClass B Voting Stock, representing 25.5% of the voting power ofsuch class. The Cotter Living Trust held 696,080 shares of Class BVoting Stock at such date, representing 41.4% of the voting powerof such class. It is anticipated that, when funded, the Cotter VotingTrust will own 1,123,888 shares of Class B Voting Stock,representing 66.9% of the voting power of such class (the “CotterVoting Stock”). · Cotter Trust Litigation: Ex Partemotion seeking appointment of aTrustee Ad Litem to Solicit Offers toPurchase Cotter Voting Stock: In reJames J. Cotter Living Trust datedAugust 1, 2000 (Case No.BP159755)Cotter, Jr.California SuperiorCourtIn response to the ex parte petition of Cotter, Jr. filed on March 23,2016, the California Superior Court on March 23, 2018 directedthat an unnamed temporary trustee ad litem be appointed to solicitoffers to purchase the Cotter Voting Stock. Ellen Cotter andMargaret Cotter appealed that March 23, 2018 order of theCalifornia Superior Court with a writ application filed as Trusteesof the Cotter Living Trust, and Margaret Cotter, as Trustee of theCotter Voting Trust. In response to their writ application, theCalifornia Court of Appeals on April 12, 2018 stayed the CaliforniaSuperior Court’s order and issued its own order to show causewhy the Superior Court’s direction should not be vacated and anew and different order denying the appointment of such a trusteead litem be issued. The positions of the parties have been briefed, but no hearing datehas been set. Our Company is not a party to this matter, and noremedy or relief is sought against our Company in this matter. As the Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy covering Cotter, Jr.’s claims in the Derivative Case ($10.0 million) has beenexhausted, the financial burden of defending our Directors against these claims, as required by applicable Nevada Law, has fallen upon ourCompany. During 2018, out-of-pocket third party costs in the amount of approximately $3.5 million were incurred by our Company indefending against these claims.The STOMP Arbitration In April 2015, Liberty Theatres, LLC (“Liberty”), a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, commenced an American ArbitrationAssociation arbitration proceeding against The Stomp Company Limited Partnership (“Stomp”), the producer of the show STOMP, inresponse to Stomp’s purported termination of their license agreement with Liberty relating to such show. Later that year, the Arbitratorissued his Partial Final Award of Arbitration, providing for, among other things (i) the issuance of a permanent injunction prohibitingStomp from “transferring or taking actions to market, promote, or otherwise facilitate any transfer of, STOMP to another theatre in New YorkCity having fewer than 500 seats without Liberty’s prior written consent”, (ii) the Stomp’s Notice of Termination purportedly terminatingthe parties’ license agreement was invalid, null and void and the License Agreement remains in full force and effect, and (iii) the award toLiberty of its reasonable attorneys’ fees in an amount to be determined by the Arbitrator. In April 2016, we were awarded $2.3 million inattorney’s fees and costs and thereafter entered into a settlement agreement with the defendants providing, among other things, for thepayment of the award over time and the continued performance of STOMP at our Orpheum Theatre. - 119 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

NOTE 14 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND SHARE REPURCHASE PLANS2010 Stock Incentive PlanThe Company may grant stock options and other share-based payment awards of our Class A Stock to eligible employees, directors, andconsultants under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which originally allows for an aggregate total number of 1,250,000shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan. As of September 30, 2017, there were 302,540shares authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan and available for future grants or awards. During the Company’s 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting held on November 7, 2017, the Company's stockholders, uponrecommendation of the Board of Directors, approved an amendment to the Company's 2010 Plan to increase the number of shares ofcommon stock issuable under such plan by an additional 947,460 shares. The effect of the increase is to restore the amount of shares ofClass A Common Stock available under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan from the 302,540 shares available as of September 30, 2017, back upto its original reserve of 1,250,000 shares. There were no new grants during the 4th quarter of 2017. During 2018 option grants of 126,840were issued, and restricted stock units of 97,600 issued. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, we had 1,031,970 shares remaining forfuture issuances. Since the adoption of the 2010 Plan, the Company has granted awards primarily in the form of stock options or stock grants. In the firstquarter of 2016, the Company started to award restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to directors and certain members of management. Stockoptions are generally granted at exercise prices equal to the grant-date market prices and typically expire no later than five years from thegrant date. In contrast to a stock option where the grantee buys the Company’s share at an exercise price determined on grant date, an RSUentitles the grantee to receive one share for every RSU based on a vesting plan. At the discretion of our Compensation and Stock OptionsCommittee, the vesting period of stock options and RSUs ranges from zero to four years. At the time the options are exercised or RSUs vest,at the discretion of management, we will issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the option or RSU holder. - 120 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Stock OptionsWe estimate the grant-date fair value of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which takes into accountassumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of theoptions. We expense the estimated grant-date fair values of options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Based on our historicalexperience and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we have not hereto estimated any forfeitures of vested or unvestedoptions.The weighted average assumptions used in the option-valuation model for the years 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016Stock option exercise price $16.40 $15.94 $11.87 Risk-free interest rate 2.56% 1.66% 1.20% Expected dividend yield — — —Expected option life in years 3.75 3.75 3.75 Expected volatility 24.99% 24.95% 25.01% Weighted average fair value $3.80 $3.45 $2.49 We recorded compensation expense of $425,000, $310,000, and $284,000 for 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Termination of Previous President’s Unvested Stock OptionsMr. James Cotter, Jr. has asserted in past communications with the Company that options to acquire 50,000 shares of Class A Stock, issuedto him in connection with his retention as the President of our Company, survived his termination as President. On August 3, 2016, ourCompensation and Stock Options Committee met, reviewed the issue and determined that such 50,000 options had in fact terminated withthe termination of Mr. Cotter, Jr.’s employment as President. Accordingly, these options are not, and have not been outstanding since theeffective date of Mr. Cotter, Jr’s termination. This was recorded as a forfeiture during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Mr. Cotter, Jr.,attempted to assert his claims with respect to such shares in the arbitration related to the payment of his severance benefits. The arbitratordetermined that such claims were beyond the scope of the arbitration, and made no substantive determination with respect to Mr. Cotter,Jr’s claims.Restricted Stock UnitsWe estimate the grant-date fair values of our RSUs using the Company’s stock price at grant-date and record such fair values ascompensation expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. During 2018 and 2017, RSU awards were granted to both ourdirectors and certain members of management. These RSU awards vest 25% at the end of each year for 4 years (in the case of members ofmanagement) and vest 100% at the end of one year (in the case of directors). During the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31,2017, we recognized compensation expense of $1.0 million and $668,000 respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expenserelated to these unvested RSUs was $1.4 million as of December 31, 2018.Below is a table that shows the restricted stock units that have been issued and vested during the years ending December 31, 2018 alongwith the dollar value of these awards:Number of RSUs$ value of RSUsGrantedVestingUnvestedGrantedVestingUnvested201668,153 51,650 16,503 $815,160 $613,208 $201,952 201770,538 40,645 29,893 1,124,348 648,569 475,779 201897,600 —97,600 1,567,171 —1,567,171 Total236,291 92,295 143,996 $3,506,679 $1,261,777 $2,244,902 2017 Stock Repurchase PlanOn March 14, 2019, the Board of Directors extended our Company’s stock buy-back program for two years, through March 2, 2021.

At the present time, $16.2 million of thatauthorization remains available to repurchase Class A Common Stock.2014 Stock Repurchase PlanOn May 16, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management, at its discretion, to spend up to an aggregate of $10.0 millionto acquire shares of the Company’s common stock. This approved stock repurchase plan supersedes and effectively cancels the programthat was approved by the Board of Directors on May 14, 2004, which allowed management to purchase up to 350,000 shares of theCompany’s common stock. As of December 31, 2016, we have fully spent the $10.0 million budget at an average price of $11.74. - 122 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

If quoted prices in an active market are available, fair value is determined by reference to theseprices. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined by valuation models that primarily use, as inputs, market-based orindependently sourced parameters, including but not limited to interest rates, volatilities, and credit curves. Additionally, we may referenceprices for similar instruments, quoted prices or recent transactions in less active markets. We use prices and inputs that are current as of themeasurement date. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value (either recurring or non-recurring basis) are classified and disclosed inone of the following categories:·Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assetsor liabilities. This consist primarily of investments in marketable securities which are our investments associated with theownership of marketable securities in U.S. and New Zealand. These investments are valued based on observable market quotes onthe last trading date of the reporting period.·Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly,for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes our derivative financial instruments which are valuedbased on discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves from the derivativecounterparties. The credit valuation adjustments associated with our non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk areincorporated in the fair value estimates of our derivatives. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we concluded that the creditvaluation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.·Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity may require significant judgment in order todetermine the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This category includes:i.Debt – includes secured and unsecured notes payable, trust preferred securities and other debt instruments. The borrowings arevalued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate appropriate market discount rates. We calculated the marketdiscount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or LIBOR for variable-rate debt, for maturities thatcorrespond to the maturities of our debt, adding appropriate credit spreads derived from information obtained from third-partyfinancial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit rate, debt maturity, types of borrowings,and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.ii.Goodwill, Other Intangibles and Other Long-lived Assets - refer to the “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” section in Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of valuation methodology used for fair value measurements ofgoodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. Given this category represents several lines in our Consolidated BalanceSheet and since the recorded values agree to fair values, we did not include this in the subsequent tables presented.Also, our Level 1 financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Thecarrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values due to their short maturities.

Below are the rental commitments for these various leasearrangements:As Lessor – Future Rental Commitments from our TenantsReal estate revenue amounted to $15.2 million, $16.4 million, and $13.9 million, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and2016, respectively. Also, there were no material contingent rentals recognized for the three years then ended December 31, 2018.

We also lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining terms of these leases, inclusive of renewal options, range from 1 to 35years. All of our leases are accounted for as operating leases and we do not have any capital leases as of December 31, 2018.We determine the annual base rent expense of our cinemas by amortizing total minimum lease obligations on a straight-line basis over thelease terms. Certain of our cinema leases provide for both base and in addition contingent rentals based upon a specified percentage ofcinema revenue with a guaranteed minimum. Substantially all of our leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance, and othercosts applicable to the property.

Refer below for further discussions on certain keytransactions with related parties, including those with minorityinterests.Sutton Hill CapitalIn 2001, we entered into a transaction with Sutton Hill Capital, LLC (“SHC”) regarding the master leasing, with an option to purchase, ofcertain cinemas located in Manhattan including our Village East and Cinemas 1,2,3 theaters. In connection with that transaction, we alsoagreed (i) to lend certain amounts to SHC, to provide liquidity in its investment, pending our determination whether or not to exercise ouroption to purchase and (ii) to manage the 86th Street Cinema on a fee basis. SHC is a limited liability company owned in equal shares bythe Cotter Estate or the Cotter Trust and a third party.As previously reported, over the years, two of the cinemas subject to the master leasing agreement have been redeveloped and one (theCinemas 1,2,3 discussed below) has been acquired. The Village East is the only cinema that remains subject to this master lease. We paidan annual rent of $590,000 for this cinema to SHC in each of 2018, 2017 and 2016. During this same period, we received management feesfrom the 86th Street Cinema of $172,000, $141,000 and $150,000 during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016,respectively.In 2005, we acquired (i) from a third party the fee interest underlying the Cinemas 1,2,3 and (ii) from SHC its interest in the ground leaseestate underlying and the improvements constituting the Cinemas 1,2,3. The ground lease estate and the improvements acquired from SHCwere originally a part of the master lease transaction, discussed above.

SHC an option to acquire at cost a 25% interest in the special purpose entity (Sutton Hill Properties, LLC) formed to acquire these fee,leasehold and improvements interests. On June 28, 2007, SHC exercised this option, paying $3.0 million and assuming a proportionateshare of SHP’s liabilities. At the time of the option exercise and the closing of the acquisition of the 25% interest, SHP had debt of$26.9 million, including a $2.9 million, non-interest bearing intercompany loan from the Company. Since the acquisition by SHC of its25% interest, SHP has covered its operating costs and debt service through cash flow from the Cinema 1,2,3, (ii) borrowings from thirdparties, and (iii) pro-rata contributions from the members. We receive an annual management fee equal to 5% of SHP’s gross income formanaging the cinema and the property, amounting to $177,000 during 2015. This management fee was modified in 2015, as discussedbelow, retroactive to December 1, 2014.On June 29, 2010, we agreed to extend our existing lease from SHC of the Village East Cinema by 10 years, with a new termination date ofJune 30, 2020. This amendment was reviewed and approved by our Audit and Conflicts Committee. The Village East lease includes a sub-lease of the ground underlying the cinema that is subject to a longer-term ground lease between SHC and an unrelated third party thatexpires in June 2031 (the “cinema ground lease”). The extended lease provides for a call option pursuant to which Reading may purchasethe cinema ground lease for $5.9 million at the end of the lease term. Additionally, the lease has a put option pursuant to which SHC mayrequire Reading to purchase all or a portion of SHC’s interest in the existing cinema lease and the cinema ground lease at any time betweenJuly 1, 2013 and December 4, 2019. SHC’s put option may be exercised on one or more occasions in increments of not less than $100,000each. We recorded the Village East Cinema building as a property asset of $4.7 million on our balance sheet based on the cost carry-overbasis from an entity under common control with a corresponding capital lease liability of $5.9 million presented under other liabilities (seeNote 11 – Pension and Other Liabilities).In February 2015, we and SHP entered into an amendment to the management agreement dated as of June 27, 2007 between us andSHP. The amendment, which was retroactive to December 1, 2014, memorialized our undertaking to SHP with respect to $750,000 (the“Renovation Funding Amount”) of renovations to Cinemas 1,2,3 funded or to be funded by us. In consideration of our funding of therenovations, our annual management fee under the management agreement was increased commencing January 1, 2015 by an amountequivalent to 100% of any incremental positive cash flow of Cinemas 1,2,3 over the average annual positive cash flow of the Cinemas 1,2,3over the three-year period ended December 31, 2014 (not to exceed a cumulative aggregate amount equal to the Renovation FundingAmount), plus a 15% annual cash-on-cash return on the balance outstanding from time to time of the Renovation Funding Amount, payableat the time of the payment of the annual management fee (the “Improvements Fee”). Under the amended management agreement, we areentitled to retain ownership of (and any right to depreciate) any furniture, fixtures and equipment purchased by us in connection with suchrenovation and have the right (but not the obligation) to remove all such furniture, fixtures and equipment (at our own cost and expense)from the Cinemas upon the termination of the management agreement. The amendment also provides that, during the term of themanagement agreement, SHP will be responsible for the cost of repair and maintenance of the renovations. In 2018 we charged anImprovements Fee of $528,000. In 2017 and 2016, we received no Improvements Fee. This amendment was approved by SHC and by theAudit and Conflicts Committee of our Board of Directors.On August 31, 2016, we refinanced the debt of Cinemas 1, 2, 3, pursuant to a $20.0 million loan from Valley National Bank. Refer to Note10 – Borrowings for further details on this loan transaction. The proceeds from the loan were used to retire an existing $15.0 million firstmortgage loan and the above referenced $2.9 million intercompany loan, with the remainder to be used for working capital and to covercash flow shortfalls. Since the cash flow from the Cinemas 1, 2, 3 is not sufficient to service this loan, it is anticipated that the members ofSHP (our Company and SHC) will ultimately need to make periodic contributions to the capital of SHP in order to avoid dilution of theirrespective interests in SHP. In 2016, our Company and SHC funded capital calls of $506,000 and $169,000, respectively. No capitalcontributions were called or made in 2017 or 2018.The Valley National Loan has been guaranteed by our Company and an environmental indemnity has been provided by ourCompany. SHC has agreed to indemnify our Company to the extent of 25% of any loss incurred by our Company with respect to any suchguarantee and/or indemnity (a percentage reflecting SHC’s membership interest in SHP). The refinancing transaction, including theguarantee and indemnity, were review and approved by the Audit and Conflicts Committee of our Board of Directors. The Valley Nationalloan matures on September 1, 2019, however the loan includes an option to extend the maturity date to September 1, 2020, which wecurrently intend to exercise.OBI Management AgreementPursuant to a Theater Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”), our live theater operations were, until March 2016,managed by Off-Broadway Investments, LLC (“OBI Management”), which is wholly owned by Ms. Margaret Cotter who is the daughter ofthe late Mr. James J. Cotter, Sr., the sister of Ellen Cotter and James Cotter, Jr., and a member of our Board of Directors. That ManagementAgreement was terminated effective March 10, 2016 in connection with the retention by our Company of Margaret Cotter as a full timeemployee.The Theater Management Agreement generally provided for the payment of a combination of fixed and incentive fees for the managementof our four live theaters that were operating during this time. Historically, these fees have equated to approximately 21% of the net cashflow generated by these properties. The fee to be paid to OBI for 2016 was $79,000. We also reimbursed OBI for certain travel expenses,shared the cost of an administrative assistant and provided office space at our New York offices.- 127 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

OBI Management historically conducted its operations from our office facilities on a rent-free basis, and we shared the cost of oneadministrative employee of OBI Management. We reimbursed travel related expenses for OBI Management personnel with respect to travelbetween New York City and Chicago in connection with the management of the Royal George complex. Other than these expenses, OBIManagement was responsible for all of its costs and expenses related to the performance of its management functions. Live Theater Play InvestmentFrom time to time, our officers and Directors may invest in plays that lease our live theaters. The play STOMP has been playing in ourOrpheum Theatre since prior to the time we acquired the theatre in 2001. The Cotter Estate or the Cotter Trust and a third party own anapproximately 5% interest in that play, an interest that they have held since prior to our acquisition of the theater. Refer to Note 12 –Commitments and Contingencies for more information about the show STOMP.Shadow View Land and Farming LLCDuring 2012, Mr. James J. Cotter, Sr., our then Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and controlling stockholder, contributed $2.5 millioncash and $255,000 of his 2011 bonus as his 50% share of the purchase price of a land parcel in Coachella, California and to cover his 50%share of certain costs associated with that acquisition. This land is held in Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC, in which the CotterEstate or the Cotter Trust owns a 50% interest. We are the managing member of Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC (See Note 13 – Non-Controlling Interests).

NOTE 20 – INSURANCE RECOVERIES ON IMPAIRMENT AND RELATED LOSSES DUE TO EARTHQUAKEOn November 14, 2016, we filed an initial insurance claim with our Insurer with respect to earthquake damage to our parking buildingadjacent to our Courtenay Central entertainment-themed center (“ETC”) in Wellington, New Zealand and to the ETC itself. Also, we filed aseparate business interruption claim to recover lost profits as a result of the earthquake. As of December 31, 2016, we recorded a recoverableasset to the extent of our incurred losses that we deemed probable of recoverability under our insurance claim, consisting of the (i) writtendown carrying value of the damaged parking building and (ii) a significant portion of the derivative loss contingencies on demolitionactivities. We received an initial settlement from our Insurer in December 2016 amounting to $5.0 million (NZ$7.1 million). In April 2017,our insurance company concluded that our losses exceeded the earthquake coverage policy limit of $25.0 million (NZ$36.0 million) andthus paid a final settlement of US$20.0 million (NZ$28.9 million) in May 2017, taking us to the policy limit. We are currently litigating our claim against QBE Insurance (Australia) Limited (“QBE”) for an additional NZ$5.0million in recoveries with respect to earthquake damage to our car park under an insurance policy acquired for ourbenefit by the general contractor working on the seismic strengthening of our car park at the time of the earthquake. Noassurances can be given as to the outcome of that litigation. Over the course of assessing the total magnitude of earthquake damage up to the point of final insurance settlement, we determined ourincurred losses and lost profits as follows:Covered Risks Basis forAllocation(Dollars inthousands) Commentary % Allocation Allocation ofInsuranceProceeds(Dollars inthousands)Property damage NZ$44,808 Estimated replacement cost for Courtenay Central parkingbuilding, as determined by an independent construction costconsultant. 81% NZ$29,093 Demolition costs 7,276 Actual costs incurred and best estimates of remaining costs tocomplete the demolition activities of Courtenay Centralparking building 13% 4,724 Business interruption 3,415 Estimated lost profits during the closure period relating to ourvarious revenue-generating components within CourtenayCentral ETC (including our cinema and property operations) 6% 2,217 Total NZ$55,499 100% NZ$36,034 - 128 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Item 9A – Controls and ProceduresManagement’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Attestation of Registered Public Accounting FirmOur management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and our registered public accounting firm’s audit report on theeffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting are included in Part II, Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data)of this Form 10-K.Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresWe have formally adopted a policy for disclosure controls and procedures that provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controlsand procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that allinformation required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rulesand forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that informationrequired to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer'smanagement, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate toallow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, underthe supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosurecontrols and procedures. A disclosure committee consisting of the principal accounting officer, and senior officers of each significantbusiness line and other select employees assisted the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in this evaluation. Based uponour evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures wereeffective as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d – 15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report.Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the ExchangeAct) that occurred since December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controlover financial reporting. Limitations on the Effectiveness of ControlsManagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inSecurities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), including maintenance of (i) records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairlyreflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, and (ii) policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactionsare recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited States of America, (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and ourBoard of Directors and (c) we will prevent or timely detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have amaterial effect on the financial statements.Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of theinherent limitations of any system of internal control. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligenceand compliance and is subject to lapses of judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financialreporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper overriding of controls. As a result of such limitations, there is risk that materialmisstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherentlimitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce,though not eliminate, this risk. - 131 - Source: READING INTERNATIONAL INC, 10-K, March 18, 2019Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.
