Acquisitions, Disposals And Assets Held For Sale | Note 8 – Acquisitions, Disposals, and Assets Held for Sale 2013 Transactions Plano Cinema On December 31, 2013, we settled a management fee claim that we had against the owner of the Plano, Texas cinema that we had managed since 2003 for a cash receipt of $1.9 million. As part of the settlement, we acquired that entity, and through the purchase of that entity acquired the underlying cinema’s lease and the associated personal property, equipment, and trade fixtures. Because the fair value of the lease, in light of anticipated rent payments, resulted in a lease liability of $320,000 and the acquired net assets, including cash received in connection with the settlement, were valued at $1.7 million, we recorded a net gain on acquisition and settlement of $1.4 million. Property Held for Sale – Moonee Ponds O n October 15, 2013, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Moonee Ponds Pty Ltd, an affiliate of Leighton Properties Pty Ltd, for the sale of our properties located in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, Australia. The agreement calls for a sale price of AUS$23.0 million payable in full on April 16, 2015. Leighton Properties Pty Ltd. has guaranteed the purchaser’s performance. Our attorney has received from the purchaser bank guaranties and checks to the value of AUS$2.3 million representing the agreed upon 10% deposit. These amounts will be held by our attorney and released to us upon settlement on April 16, 2015. Prior to settlement, Reading retains title to the properties, is responsible for their costs (including taxes and utilities), and is entitled to receive all of their revenues (the properties are currently used as a parking lot). The properties comprise approximately 3.3 acres and are carried on our books at $11.6 million (AUS$12.4 million) at December 31, 2013 which is classified as land held for sale on our December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet. The historical operations of this property were as an non-attendant parking lot which are not material and thus not separately presented as discontinued operations. 2012 Transactions Indooroopilly - Sale On November 20, 2012, we sold our Indooroopilly property for $12.4 million (AUS$12.0 million). As its book value at the time of sale was $12.5 million (AUS$12.1 million), we recorded a loss on sale in the form of an impairment expense of $318,000 (AUS$306,000) for the year ended December 31, 2012 which included the cost to sell the property. The operational results are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The condensed statement of operations for Indooroopilly is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Taringa - Sale On February 21, 2012, we sold our three properties of approximately 1.1 acres in the Taringa area of Brisbane, Australia for $1.9 million (AUS$1.8 million). Because the net carrying amounts of these properties were greater than the total sale price, we recorded an impairment expense for these properties of $369,000 (AUS$365,000) for the year ended December 31, 2011. Coachella, California Land - 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 816 single-family residential units, located in the City of Coachella, California. 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. See Note 20 – Noncontrolling Interests. 2011 Transactions Cal Oaks Cinema - Acquisition On August 25, 2011, we purchased a 17-screen multiplex in Murrieta, California (the “CalOaks Cinema”) for $4.2 million.
