Reading International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Reading International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RDI” and collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries and corporate predecessors, the “Company,” “Reading” and “we,” “us,” or “our”), was founded in 1983 as a Delaware corporation and reincorporated in 1999 in Nevada.  Our businesses consist primarily of:

·

the development, ownership, and operation of multiplex cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; and

·

the development, ownership, and operation of retail and commercial real estate in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

            The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting.  As such, certain information and disclosures typically required by US GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  The financial information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013 (the “June Report”) should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (our “2012 Annual Report”) which contains the latest audited financial statements and related notes.  The periods presented in this document are the three (“2013 Quarter”) and six (“2013 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2013 and the three (“2012 Quarter”) and six (“2012 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2012.

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

Expiring Debt and Liquidity Requirements

Expiring Long-Term Debt

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

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

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

Liberty Theatre Term Loans

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

Tax Settlement Liability

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

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

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

Deferred Leasing Costs

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

Deferred Financing Costs

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

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2013

No new pronouncements were adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncements

No new pronouncements were made pertaining to our Company’s accounting during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Note 2 – Equity and Stock Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we issued 217,890 and 155,925, respectively, of Class A Nonvoting shares to an executive employee associated with the vesting of his prior years’ stock grants.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we accrued $188,000 and $376,000, respectively, in compensation expense associated with the vesting of executive employee stock grants. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we accrued $238,000 and $476,000, respectively, in compensation expense associated with the vesting of executive employee stock grants.

Employee/Director Stock Option Plan

We have a long-term incentive stock option plan that provides for the grant to eligible employees, directors, and consultants of incentive or nonstatutory options to purchase shares of our Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock.  Currently we issue options under our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. 

When the Company’s tax deduction from an option exercise exceeds the compensation cost resulting from the option, a tax benefit is created.  FASB ASC 718-20 relating to Stock-Based Compensation (“FASB ASC 718-20”), requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows because there were no recognized tax benefits from stock option exercises during these periods.

FASB ASC 718-20 requires companies to estimate forfeitures.  Based on our historical experience and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we do not currently estimate any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.

In accordance with FASB ASC 718-20, we estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options.  As we intend to retain all earnings, we exclude the dividend yield from the calculation.  We expense the estimated grant date fair values of options issued on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

For the 50,000 and 40,000 options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, we estimated the fair value of these options at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Based on the above calculation and prior years’ assumptions, and, in accordance with the FASB ASC 718-20, we recorded compensation expense for the total estimated grant date fair value of $77,000 and $130,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $89,000 and $169,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  At June 30, 2013, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted was $241,000, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 2.16 years.  50,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 having an intrinsic value of $99,500 for which we received $200,500

of cash and 95,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2012 having an intrinsic value of $136,000 for which we received $308,000 of cash.    Additionally, 75,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 having an intrinsic value of $124,000 for which we did not receive any cash but the employee elected to exchange 53,136 personally owned shares of the company at a market price of $5.66 per share for the 75,000 shares based on an exercise price of $4.01 for the related options.  The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding, vested and expected to vest, at June 30, 2013 was $372,000 of which 92.8% are currently exercisable.

Pursuant to both our 1999 Stock Option Plan and our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, all stock options expire within ten years of their grant date.  The aggregate total number of shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock authorized for issuance under our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan is 1,250,000.  At the discretion of our Compensation and Stock Options Committee, the vesting period of stock options is usually between zero and four years. 

            We had the following stock options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Note 3 – Business Segments

            We organize our operations into two reportable business segments within the meaning of FASB ASC 280-10 - Segment Reporting.  Our reportable segments are (1) cinema exhibition and (2) real estate.  The cinema exhibition segment is engaged in the development, ownership, and operation of multiplex cinemas.  The real estate segment is engaged in the development, ownership, and operation of commercial properties.  Incident to our real estate operations we have acquired, and continue to hold, raw land in urban and suburban centers in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

            The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our principal business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Operating expense includes costs associated with the day-to-day operations of the cinemas and the management of rental properties including our live theater assets (dollars in thousands):

Note 4 – Operations in Foreign Currency

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

Note 5 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

            Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Reading International, Inc. common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Reading International, Inc. common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been issued.  Stock options and non-vested stock awards give rise to potentially dilutive common shares.  In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10 - Earnings Per Share, these shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method.  The following is a calculation of earnings (loss) per share (dollars in thousands, except share data):

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

            In accordance with FASB ASC 350-20-35, Goodwill - Subsequent Measurement and Impairment, we perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of our goodwill and other intangible assets on a reporting unit basis, or earlier if changes in circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired.  No such circumstances existed during the 2013 Quarter.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had goodwill consisting of the following (dollars in thousands):

Pursuant to FASB ASC 740-10 – Income Taxes (“ FASB ASC 740-10”), a provision should be made for the tax effect of earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are not permanently invested outside the United States.  Our intent is that earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently invested outside the United States.  Current earnings were available for distribution in the Reading Australia and Reading New Zealand consolidated group of subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013.  We have provided $0.4 million in withholding tax expense in relation to those earnings. We believe the U.S. tax impact of a dividend from

17

 


 

our Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries, net of loss carry forward and potential foreign tax credits, would not have a material effect on the tax provision as of June 30, 2013.

Deferred income taxes reflect the “temporary differences” between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, adjusted by the relevant tax rate.  In accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, we record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized.  In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance.  FASB ASC 740-10 presumes that a valuation allowance is required when there is substantial negative evidence about realization of deferred tax assets, such as a pattern of losses in recent years, coupled with facts that suggest such losses may continue. 

In the period ended June 30, 2011, the Company determined that substantial negative evidence regarding the realizable nature of deferred tax assets continues to exist in the U.S., New Zealand, and Puerto Rico subsidiaries, arising from ongoing pre-tax financial losses.  Accordingly, the Company continues to record a full valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets available in these subsidiaries.  After consideration of a number of factors for the Reading Australia group, including its recent history of pretax financial income, its expected future earnings, the increase in market value of its real estate assets, which would cause taxable gain if sold, and having executed in June 2011 a credit facility of over $100.0 million to resolve potential liquidity issues, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets in Reading Australia will be realized.  Accordingly, during 2011, Reading Australia reversed $13.8 million of the valuation allowance previously recorded against its net deferred tax, which mainly reflects the loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in Australia.

We have accrued $22.2 million in income tax liabilities as of June 30, 2013, of which $13.4 million has been classified as income taxes payable under current liabilities and $8.8 million have been classified as non-current tax liabilities.  As part of current tax liabilities, we have accrued $3.5 million in connection with the negotiated Tax Court judgment, dated January 6, 2011, implementing our agreement with the IRS as to the final disposition of the 1996 tax litigation matter.  We believe that the $22.2 million represents an adequate provision for our income tax exposures, including income tax contingencies related to foreign withholding taxes.

            In accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25 – Income Taxes - Uncertain Tax Positions (“FASB ASC 740-10-25”), we record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense.

The following table is a summary of the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for the periods ending June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

            For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a change of approximately $0.1 million to our gross unrecognized tax benefits.  The net tax balance is approximately $2.3 million, of which $1.2 million would impact the effective rate if recognized.

            It is difficult to predict the timing and resolution of uncertain tax positions.  Based upon the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and judgments about future events, we estimate that within the next 12 months the reserve for uncertain tax positions will increase within a range of $0.9 million to $1.8 million.  The reasons for such changes include but are not limited to tax positions expected to be taken during the next twelve months, reevaluation of current uncertain tax positions, expiring statutes of limitations, and interest related to the ”Tax Audit/Litigation” settlement which occurred January 6, 2011.

            Our company and subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, income tax in various U.S. states, and income tax in Australia, New Zealand, and Puerto Rico. Generally, changes to our federal and most state income tax returns for the calendar year 2008 and earlier are barred by statutes of limitations.  Our income tax returns of Australia filed since inception in 1995 are generally open for examination because of operating losses.  The income tax returns filed in New Zealand and Puerto Rico for calendar year 2009 and afterward generally remain open for examination as of June 30, 2013.

Derivative Instruments

As indicated in Note 17 – Derivative Instruments, for both our Australian NAB Corporate Credit Facility (“NAB Loan”) and our U.S. Bank of America Revolver (“BofA Revolver”), we have entered into interest rate swap agreements for all or part of these facilities.  The loan agreement together with the swap results in us paying a total fixed interest rate of 7.90% (5.50% swap contract rate plus a 2.40% margin under the loan) for our NAB Loan and a total fixed interest rate of 4.44% (1.44% swap contract rate plus a 3.00% margin under the loan) for our BofA Revolver instead of the above indicated 5.70% and 3.28%, respectively, which are the obligatorily disclosed loan rates.  Additionally, on June 3, 2013, we entered into a new swap agreement for our BofA Revolver which will take effect on December 31, 2014 (see Note 17 – Derivative Instruments).

AFC LLC Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interest

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we issued 217,890 and 155,925, respectively, of Class A Nonvoting shares to an executive employee associated with his prior years’ stock grants

            50,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 having an intrinsic value of $99,500 for which we received $200,500 of cash and 95,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2012 having an intrinsic value of $136,000 for which we received $308,000 of cash. Additionally, 75,000 options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2013 having an intrinsic value of $124,000 for which we did not receive any cash but the employee elected to exchange 53,136 personally owned shares of the company at a market price of $5.66 per share for the 75,000 shares based on an exercise price of $4.01 for the related options.    

 

Note 16 – Derivative Instruments

As more fully described in our 2012 Annual Report, we are exposed to interest rate changes from our outstanding floating rate borrowings.  We manage our fixed to floating rate debt mix to mitigate the impact of adverse changes in interest rates on earnings and cash flows and on the market value of our borrowings.  From time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedging contracts, which effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate over the term of interest rate swaps or fix the maximum variable rate with an interest rate cap.  For an explanation of the impact of swaps on our interest paid for the periods presented, see Note 11 – Notes Payable.

As part of our new US Minetta and Orpheum Theatres Loan, we entered into a five year LIBOR rate cap of 4.00% with a loan margin of 2.75%.  See Note 11 – Notes Payable. Additionally, on June 3, 2013, we entered into a new swap agreement for our BofA Revolver which will take effect on December 31, 2014 with a pay fixed rate of 1.15% and an expiration date of October 31, 2017.

In accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-35, Subsequent Valuation of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Instruments (“FASB ASC 815-10-35”), we marked our interest rate swap and cap instruments to

23

 


 

market on the consolidated balance sheet resulting in an decrease in interest expense of $944,000 and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and an increase of  $1.8 million and $1.5 million in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recorded as other long-term liabilities the fair market value of our interest rate swaps of $4.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively.  Additionally, at June 30, 2013, we recorded as an other long-term asset our interest rate cap of $136,000.  In accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-35, we have not designated any of our current interest rate swap or cap positions as financial reporting hedges.

Note 17 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

·

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

·

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

·

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

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

Level 1 Fair Value Measurements – are based on market quotes of our marketable securities.

Level 2 Fair Value Measurements – Interest Rate Swaps and Caps – The fair value of interest rate swap and cap instruments are estimated based on market data and quotes from counter parties to the agreements which are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements – Impaired Property – For assets measured on a non-recurring basis, such as real estate assets that are required to be recorded at fair value as a result of an impairment, our estimates of fair value are based on management’s best estimate derived from evaluating market sales data for comparable properties developed by a third party appraiser and arriving at management’s estimate of fair value based on such comparable data primarily based on properties with similar characteristics.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These included available for sale securities and interest rate derivative contracts.  Our available-for-sale securities primarily consist of investments associated with the ownership of marketable securities in New Zealand and the U.S.  Derivative instruments are related to our economic hedge of interest rates.

The fair values of the interest rate swap and cap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future cash payments and cash receipts on the pay and receive legs of the interest swap agreements that have the net effect of swapping the estimated variable rate note payment stream for a fixed rate payment stream over the period of the swap.  The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate swap agreements are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.  To comply with the provisions of FASB ASC 820-10, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our

24

 


 

derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by our counterparties and us.  However, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The nature of our interest rate swap and cap derivative instruments is described in Note 16 – Derivative Instruments. 

            We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and believe we have obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts we hold.  Additionally, there were no transfers of assets and liabilities between levels 1, 2, or 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

We measure and record the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 820-20, Fair Value of Financial Instruments (dollars in thousands):

            The fair value of notes payable to related party cannot be determined due to the related party nature of the terms of the notes payable.

We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage notes payable, our unsecured notes payable, trust preferred securities, and other debt instruments by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate.  We calculated the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or LIBOR rates for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt, adding appropriate credit spreads derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions.  These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit standing, the maturity of the debt, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.

 

Note 18 - Subsequent Events

Wellington, New Zealand Parking Structure

25

 


 

            On July 21, 2013, Wellington, New Zealand experienced a strong earthquake that damaged our parking structure adjacent to our Courtenay Central shopping center.  The parking structure has been closed pending certain repairs to the structure for which the cost to repair has not yet to be quantified.  We believe our global earthquake and business interruption insurance does cover this damage subject to the relevant deductibles.

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

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

·

cinema exhibition, through our 56 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 generated by our cinema operations to fund the front-end cash demands of our real estate development business.

We manage our worldwide cinema exhibition businesses under various different brands:

·

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

·

in Australia, under the Reading brand; and

·

in New Zealand, under the Reading and Rialto brands.

Cinema Activities

            We continue to consider opportunities to expand our cinema operations, while at the same time continuing to cull those cinema assets which are underperforming or have unacceptable risk profiles on a go forward basis. 

Real Estate Activities

Although to date we have curtailed our real estate development activities, we are in the predevelopment stage on certain of our Manhattan U.S. properties and we remain opportunistic in our acquisitions of both cinema and real estate assets.  Our business plan is to begin the build-out of our existing undeveloped properties, such as our Wellington, New Zealand site, and to seek out additional, profitable real estate development opportunities while continuing to use and judiciously expand our presence in the cinema exhibition business by identifying, developing, and acquiring cinema properties when and where we believe to be appropriate.  In addition, we may sell all or portions of our properties in order to provide liquidity for other projects.  Finally, we will continue to investigate potential synergistic acquisitions that may not readily fall into either of our two currently identified segments.

 

Results of Operations

            At June 30, 2013, we owned and operated 51 cinemas with 433 screens, had interests in certain unconsolidated joint ventures and entities that own an additional 3 cinemas with 29 screens and managed 2 cinemas with 9 screens.  In real estate during the period, we (i) owned and operated four Entertainment Themed Retail Centers (“ETRCs”) that we developed in Australia and New Zealand, (ii) owned the fee interests in four developed commercial properties in Manhattan and Chicago improved with live theaters comprising seven stages and ancillary retail and commercial space, (iii) owned the fee interests underlying one of our Manhattan cinemas, (iv) held for development an additional seven parcels aggregating approximately 129 acres located principally in urbanized areas of Australia and New Zealand, and (v) owned 50% of a 202-acre property, zoned for the development of up to 843 single-

27

 


 

family residential units in the U.S.  In addition, we continue to hold various properties used in our historic railroad operations.

            The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our principal business segments for the three (“2013 Quarter”) and six (“2013 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2013 and the three (“2012 Quarter”) and six (“2012 Six Months”) months ended June 30, 2012, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Cinema revenue increased for the 2013 Quarter by $6.7 million or 11.5% compared to the same period in 2012.  The 2013 Quarter increase was primarily due to an increase in our U.S. and Australian box office admissions of 385,000, related to the quality of film product in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  This resulted in increased box office, concessions and other revenue of $5.8 million. This increase in revenue was augmented by a 33,000 increase in our New Zealand box office admissions resulting in an increase in revenue of $881,000 primarily as a result of the reopening of an earthquake damaged New Zealand multiplex in early January 2012.  Both the Australian and New Zealand results were affected by quarter over quarter changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).

 

·

Operating expense increased for the 2013 Quarter by $4.7 million or 9.6% compared to the same period in 2012.  Overall, our operating expense as a percent of gross revenue decreased from 83.4% to 82.0% primarily due to the aforementioned increase in box office admissions which decreased our labor per admit costs and from our fixed property rent costs relative to the aforementioned increase in revenue.  Additionally, not previously occurring during 2012, our 2013 quarterly operating expense was affected by a net charge of $111,000 for our digital projection lease after the effect of the virtual print fees to be received from film distributors.

·

Depreciation expense decreased for the 2013 Quarter by $208,000 or 7.6% compared to the same period in 2012 due to certain of our worldwide cinema assets coming to the end of their depreciable lives.

 

·

For our statement of operations, the Australian quarterly average exchange rates decreased by 1.9% and the New Zealand quarterly average exchange rates increased by 3.8% since the 2012 Quarter, both of which had an impact on the individual components of our income statement.

 

·

Because of the above, and driven by the increased revenue, our cinema exhibition segment income increased for the 2013 Quarter by $2.2 million or 35.9% compared to the same period in 2012.

Driven by the strong 2013 Quarter, cinema revenue increased for the 2013 Six Months by $4.0 million or 3.5% compared to the same period in 2012.  The 2013 Six Months increase was primarily due to an increase in the U.S. box office admissions of 45,000, related to the quality of film product in 2013 Six Months compared to the same period in 2012 which was augmented by a 3.1% increase in the U.S. average ticket price. This increase in revenue was enhanced in part by an 82,000 increase in our New Zealand box office admissions resulting in an increase in revenue of $1.6 million primarily as a result of the reopening of an earthquake damaged New Zealand multiplex in early January 2012.  These revenue increases were offset by a decrease in our

31

 


 

Australian revenue of $783,000 primarily due to a 3.0% decrease in the average ticket price.  Both the Australian and New Zealand results were affected by changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).

 

·

Operating expense increased for the 2013 Six Months by $4.4 million or 4.5% compared to the same period in 2012.  Overall, our operating expense as a percent of gross revenue increased from 83.7% during the 2012 Six Months to 84.5% for the 2013 Six Months. A contributing factor to this increase was that our 2013 Six Months operating expense was affected by a net charge of $241,000 for our digital projection lease after the effect of the virtual print fees to be received from film distributors. This lease was not in place during 2012.

 

·

Depreciation expense decreased for the 2013 Six Months by $278,000 or 5.0% compared to the same period in 2012 due to certain of our worldwide cinema assets coming to the end of their depreciable lives.  

 

·

For our statement of operations, the Australian average exchange rates decreased by 1.8% for the 2013 Six Months while the New Zealand average exchange rates increased by 2.8% for the 2013 Six Months, compared to the 2012 Six Months, both of which had an impact on the individual components of our income statement.

 

·

Because of the above, the cinema exhibition segment income marginally decreased for the 2013 Six Months by $163,000 or 1.4% compared to the same period in 2012 principally related to the decrease in Australian cinema box office revenue.

Real estate revenue increased for the 2013 Quarter by $55,000 or 0.8% compared to the same period in 2012 primarily related to slightly higher rents and occupancy associated with our Australian retail properties in the 2013 Quarter compared to the same period in 2012.    These increases were offset in part by a decrease in live theater revenue.  Both the Australian and New Zealand results were also affected by changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).

 

·

Operating expense for the real estate segment increased for the 2013 Quarter by $148,000 or 5.7% compared to the same period in 2012This increase resulted primarily from additional costs associated with the start of development work on our Wellington, New Zealand location.  Our operating expense was also affected by changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).

 

·

For our statement of operations, the Australian quarterly average exchange rates decreased by  1.9% and the New Zealand quarterly average exchange rates increased by 3.8% since the 2012 Quarter, both of which had an impact on the individual components of our income statement.

 

·

As a result of the above, real estate segment income decreased for the 2013 Quarter by $89,000 or 2.9% compared to the same period in 2012.

Real estate revenue decreased for the 2013 Six Months by $147,000 or 1.1% compared to the same period in 2012The decrease in real estate revenue was primarily related to a $350,000 decrease in live theater revenue offset by increased revenue from our Australian and New Zealand real estate assets primarily due to higher rents in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.  Both the Australian and New Zealand results were also affected by changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).    

 

·

Operating expense for the real estate segment increased for the 2013 Six Months by $73,000 or 1.4% compared to the same period in 2012This increase resulted primarily from additional costs associated with the start of development work on our Wellington, New Zealand location.  Our operating expense was also affected by changes in the value of the Australian and New Zealand dollars compared to the U.S. dollar (see below).

For our statement of operations, the Australian average exchange rates decreased by 1.8% for the 2013 Six Months while the New Zealand average exchange rates increased 2.8% for the 2013 Six Months compared to the 2012 Six Months, both of which had an impact on the individual components of our income statement.

 

As a result of the above, real estate segment income decreased for the 2013 Six Months by $141,000 or 2.4% compared to the same period in 2012.

Corporate

Quarterly Results

Net interest expense decreased by $3.0 million for the 2013 Quarter compared to the 2012 Quarter.  The decrease in interest expense during the 2013 Quarter was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our interest rate swap liabilities in 2013 compared to an increase in these liabilities during the same period in 2012 resulting in a comparative $2.7 million decrease in interest expense from the 2012 Quarter to the 2013 Quarter.  Additionally, there was an overall decrease in our worldwide debt balances and a decrease in the interest rates on our corporate loans in the U.S. and Australia, both of which resulted in lower interest expense.

            For the 2013 Quarter, our income tax expense increased by $1.2 million compared to the 2012 Quarter primarily associated with an increase in our net income before income tax expense.

            For the 2012 Quarter, we recorded income from discontinued operations of $44,000 associated with the sale of our Indooroopilly property in November 2012.

Six Months Results

Net interest expense decreased by $4.1 million for the 2013 Six Months compared to the 2012 Six Months.  The decrease in interest expense during the 2013 Six Months was due to the same reasons noted above for the quarterly results.

            The 2013 Six Months income tax expense increased by $0.5 million compared to the 2012 Six Months due to the same reasons noted in the quarterly results.

For the 2012 Six Months, we recorded income from discontinued operations of $120,000 associated with the sale of our Indooroopilly property in November 2012.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Reading International, Inc. Common Shareholders

We recorded a net income attributable to Reading International, Inc. common shareholders of $4.1 million for the 2013 Quarter compared to a net income of $239,000 for the 2012 Quarter and a net income of $3.5 million for the 2013 Six Months compared to a net loss of $3,000 for the 2012 Six Months.  As described above, the change from a net loss to a net income from 2012 to 2013 was primarily from the aforementioned decrease in interest expense.

Acquisition

U.S. Land Parcel Acquisition

On January 10, 2012, Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC, a limited liability company owned by our Company, acquired a 202-acre property, zoned for the development of up to 843 single-family residential units, located in the U.S.  The property was acquired at a foreclosure auction for $5.5 million.  The property was acquired as a long-term investment in developable land. Half of the funds used to acquire the land were provided by Mr. James J. Cotter, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder.  Upon the approval of our Conflicts Committee, these funds were converted on January 18, 2012 into a 50% interest in Shadow View Land and Farming, LLC.  We are the managing member of this company.    

Business Plan, Capital Resources, and Liquidity

Business Plan

Our cinema exhibition business plan is to continue to identify, develop, and acquire cinema properties, where reasonably available, that allow us to leverage our cinema expertise and technology over a larger operating base. 

Our real estate business plan is to begin development of our existing land assets, to be sensitive to opportunities to convert our entertainment assets to higher and better uses, or, when appropriate, dispose of such assets.  Because we believe that current economic conditions present difficulties in obtaining the pre-construction leasing commitments necessary to justify commencement of construction, we are predominantly focusing our development efforts on improving and enhancing land entitlements and negotiating with end users for build to suit projects. 

In addition, we review opportunities to monetize our assets where such action leads to a financially acceptable outcome.  We will also continue to investigate potential synergistic acquisitions that may not readily fall into either of our two currently identified segments.  We financed a $15.5 million purchase of digital projection equipment with an operating lease for our U.S. cinema circuit during 2012.  For our Australia and New Zealand circuits, we are under contract to purchase similar digital projection equipment for approximately $8.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, with our cash on hand during the third quarter of 2013.

We base estimated interest on long-term debt on the anticipated loan balances for future periods calculated against current fixed and variable interest rates.

            We adopted FASB ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2007.  As of adoption, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $12.5 million decreasing to $2.3 million as of June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of the settlement on January 6, 2011 of the Tax Audit/Litigation matter.

Unconsolidated Debt

Total debt of unconsolidated joint ventures and entities was $644,000 and $703,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Our share of unconsolidated debt, based on our ownership percentage, was $215,000 and $234,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  This debt is guaranteed by one of our subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership percentage.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Currency Risk

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

36

 


 

Picture 1

 

 

            We do not engage in currency hedging activities.  Rather, to the extent possible, we operate our Australian and New Zealand operations on a self-funding basis.  Our policy in Australia and New Zealand is to match revenues and expenses, whenever possible, in local currencies.  As a result, we have procured in local currencies the majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand.  As our U.S. operations are funded in part by the operational results of Australia and New Zealand, fluctuations in these foreign currencies affect such funding.  As we continue to progress with our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, the effect of variations in currency values will likely increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

            Currently, our liquidity needs arise primarily from:

·

capital expenditure needs for our expanding digital projection implementations (see below);

·

working capital requirements; and

·

debt servicing requirements.

We have a $15.5 million operating lease which we used to finance the implementation of digital projection in our U.S. cinema circuit during 2012.  For our Australia and New Zealand circuits, we anticipate that we will purchase the digital projection equipment for approximately $8.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, with our cash on hand during the third quarter of 2013.

37

 


 

Expiring Debt and Liquidity Requirements

Expiring Long-Term Debt

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

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

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

Tax Settlement Liability

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

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

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operations was $9.5 million in the 2013 Six Months compared to $8.2 million in the 2012 Six Months.  The year-to-year increase in cash provided by operations of $1.2 million was due primarily to a $3.3 million increase in operational cash flows offset by a $2.1 million change in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the 2013 Six Months was $8.3 million compared to $13.5 million of cash used in investing activities for the 2012 Six Months, a change of $21.8 million.  The $8.3 million of cash provided by investing activities for the 2013 Six Months was primarily related to:

·

$1.7 million in cash provided from restricted cash;

·

$2.0 million of proceeds from a note receivable; and

·

$8.0 million of proceeds from time deposits;

offset by

·

$3.4  million in property enhancements to our existing properties;

            The $13.5 million of cash used in investing activities for the 2012 Six Months was primarily related to:

·

$3.2 million in property enhancements to our existing properties;

38

 


 

·

$8.0 million to purchase time deposits;

·

$1.8 million to purchase a note receivable; and

·

$5.5 million for the purchase of the Coachella land acquisition;

offset by

·

$33,000 of a change in restricted cash;

·

$1.9 million of proceeds from the sale of our Taringa properties; and

·

$3.0 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the 2013 Six Months was $11.3 million compared to $3.4 million of cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2012 resulting in a change of $7.8 million.  The $11.3 million in cash used in financing activities during the 2013 Six Months was primarily related to:

·

$22.1 million of loan repayments including a $6.4 million payoff of our former Liberty Theaters Term Loan, a $6.8 million pay off our Sutton Hill Capital Note, $3.8 million in payments on our Bank of America Revolver and Line of Credit, and $4.4 million in payments on our NAB term debt ; and

·

$2.0 million in noncontrolling interests’ distributions.

offset by

·

$12.5 million of new borrowing including $5.0 million from our Bank of America Revolver and $7.5 million from our new loan on the Orpheum and Minetta Lane Theatres net of $675,000 of borrowing costs;

·

$263,000 in noncontrolling interests’ contributions; and

·

$200,000 of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options;

The $3.4 million in cash used in financing activities during the 2012 Six Months was primarily related to:

·

$15.9 million of new borrowing including $14.6 million of loan proceeds from our new Cinemas 1, 2, 3 loan net of $445,000 of capitalized borrowing costs and $945,000 of borrowing from our Bank of America line of credit;

·

$3.3 million in noncontrolling interests’ contributions; and

·

$308,000 of proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options;

offset by

·

$22.5 million of loan repayments including $15.0 million to pay off our Cinemas 1, 2, 3 loan, $3.3 million in payments on our GE Capital Loan and $3.6 million in payments on our NAB term debt.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

39

 


 

·

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

·

tax valuation allowance and obligations; and

·

legal and environmental obligations.

We discuss these critical accounting policies in our 2012 Annual Report and advise you to refer to that discussion.

Financial Risk Management

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

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

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

In accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-35, Subsequent Valuation of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Instruments (“FASB ASC 815-10-35”), we marked our interest rate swap and cap instruments to market on the consolidated balance sheet resulting in an decrease in interest expense of $944,000 and $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and an increase of  $1.8 million and $1.5 million in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we recorded the fair market value of our interest rate swaps of $4.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively, as other long-term liabilities.  Additionally, at June 30, 2013, we recorded as an other long-term asset our interest rate cap of $136,000.  In accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-35, we have not designated any of our current interest rate swap or cap positions as financial reporting hedges.

Inflation

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

Litigation

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

40

 


 

·

contractual obligations;

·

insurance claims;

·

IRS claims;

·

employment matters;

·

environmental matters; and

·

anti-trust issues.

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

            Where we are the defendants, we accrue for probable damages, which insurance may not cover, as they become known and can be reasonably estimated.  In our opinion, any claims and litigation in which we are currently involved are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.  However, we do not give any assurance as to the ultimate outcome of such claims and litigation.  The resolution of such claims and litigation could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period.  There have been no material changes to our litigation exposure since our 2012 Annual Report.

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

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

·

With respect to our cinema operations:

o

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

o

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

o

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

o

The continued willingness of moviegoers to spend money on our concession items;

o

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

o

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

o

the extent to which we can digitalize our cinema circuit compared to our competitors; and

o

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

·

With respect to our real estate development and operation activities:

o

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

o

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

o

The risks and uncertainties associated with real estate development;

o

The availability and cost of labor and materials;

o

Competition for development sites and tenants;

o

Environmental remediation issues; and

o

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

·

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

42

 


 

o

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

o

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

o

Changes in government regulation;

o

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

o

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

o

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

o

Changes in applicable accounting policies and practices.

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

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

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

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

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

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

·

It is based on a single point in time; 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 June 30, 2013, approximately 52%  and 19% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand), respectively, including approximately $27.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2012, approximately 51% and 18% of our assets were invested in assets denominated in Australian dollars (Reading Australia) and New Zealand dollars (Reading New Zealand) including approximately $15.8 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 have procured in local currencies a majority of our expenses in Australia and New Zealand.  Due to the developing nature of our operations in Australia and New Zealand, our revenue is not yet significantly greater than our operating and interest expenses.  Despite this natural hedge, recent movements in foreign currencies have had an effect on our current earnings.  Although foreign currency has had a nominal effect on our current earnings, the effect of the translation adjustment on our assets and liabilities noted in our other comprehensive income was an increase of $19.9 million and $18.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.  As we continue to progress our acquisition and development activities in Australia and New Zealand, we cannot assure you that the foreign currency effect on our earnings will be negligible in the future.

            Historically, our policy has been to borrow in local currencies to finance the development and construction of our ETRCs in Australia and New Zealand whenever possible.  As a result, the borrowings in local currencies have provided somewhat of a natural hedge against the foreign currency exchange exposure.  Even so, and as a result of our issuance of fully subordinated notes (TPS) in 2007, and their subsequent partial repayment, approximately 63% and 48% of our Australian and New Zealand assets, respectively, remain subject to such exposure unless we elect to hedge our foreign currency exchange between the US and Australian and New Zealand dollars.  If the foreign currency rates were to fluctuate by 10% the resulting change in Australian and New Zealand assets would be $12.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and the change in our quarterly net income (loss) would be $141,000 and $10,000, respectively.  Presently, we have no plan to hedge such exposure.

            We record unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses that could materially affect our financial position.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have recorded a cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation gain of approximately $45.8 million and $64.6 million, respectively.

            Historically, we maintain most of our cash and cash equivalent balances in short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three months or less.  Due to the short-term nature of such

44

 


 

investments, a change of 1% in short-term interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial condition.

            While we have typically used fixed rate financing (secured by first mortgages) in the U.S., fixed rate financing is typically not available to corporate borrowers in Australia and New Zealand.  The majority of our Australian and New Zealand bank loans have variable rates.  The Australian facility provides for floating interest rates, but requires that not less than a certain percentage of the loan be swapped into fixed rate obligations (see Financial Risk Management above).  Taking into consideration our interest rate swaps and cap, a 1% increase or decrease in short-term interest rates would have resulted in approximately $162,000 increase or decrease in our 2013 Quarter’s interest expense.

45

 


 

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

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

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
