PART I

ITEM 1: BUSINESS

GENERAL

Citadel Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Citadel" and
collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the "Company") was organized in
1983 and has been engaged in recent periods primarily in the business of owning
and managing its commercial and residential properties and in the offering of
various real estate consulting services to its affiliates. During 1996, the
Company also considered certain opportunities to move into other businesses,
including the land based entertainment industry and in October 1996 invested $7
million to acquire 70,000 shares of the Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") of Reading Entertainment, Inc.
("REI" and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Reading") and the
Asset Put Option described below (the "Reading Investment Transaction"). Until
April 1994, Citadel was engaged principally in the business of serving as the
holding company for Fidelity Federal Bank, FSB ("Fidelity").

At December 31, 1996, the Company's assets had a book value of $30.3
million, consisting principally of two office buildings (located in Glendale,
California and Phoenix, Arizona), the Company's investment in Reading and cash
and cash equivalents, and long term liabilities of $10.3 million.

The Reading Investment Transaction provided the Company an opportunity to
make an initial investment in the movie exhibition industry, and the ability,
thereafter, to review the implementation by Reading of its business plan and, if
it approves of the progress made by Reading, to make a further investment in
this industry through the exercise of its Asset Put Option. The Company has the
right to require Reading to redeem the securities issued to it in the Reading
Investment Transaction after five years, or sooner if Reading fails to pay
dividends on such securities for four quarters.

As set forth in the Asset Put and Registration Rights Agreement, (the
"Asset Put Agreement"), the Asset Put Option is exercisable any time after
October 15, 1996 and until approximately April 2000. The Asset Put Option gives
the Company the right to require Reading to acquire, for shares of Reading
Common Stock, substantially all of the Company's assets and assume related
liabilities (such as mortgages) (the "Asset Put"). In exchange for up to $20
million in aggregate appraised value of such assets, Reading is obligated to
deliver to the Company that number of shares of Reading Common Stock determined
by dividing the value of Citadel's assets by $11.75 per share if the notice is
received by October 31, 1997 and thereafter $12.25 per share. If the appraised
value of the Company's assets is in excess of $20 million, Reading is obligated
pay for the excess by issuing Common Stock at the then fair market value, up to
a maximum of $30 million of assets. If the average trading price of Reading
Common Stock exceeds 130% of the then applicable exercise price for more than 60
days (the "Repricing Trigger"), then the exercise price will adjust to the fair
market of the Reading Common Stock from time to time, unless the Company
exercises the Asset Put within 120 days of receipt of notice from Reading of the
occurrence of the Repricing Trigger. The Asset Put Agreement has been filed as
Exhibit 10.52 to this Report. Any description of the rights granted by that
agreement is necessarily summary in nature and qualified by reference to the
definitive terms of the Asset Put Agreement.

Reading is currently involved in conventional multiplex cinema exhibition
in Puerto Rico through its Cine Vista Cinemas chain, in the exhibition of art
and specialty film through its interest in the Angelika Film Center (a specialty
art multiplex cinema and cafe complex located in the Soho area of New York
City), and the development of a new chain of conventional multiplex cinema and
entertainment center complexes in Australia. Reading opened its first multiplex
cinema in Australia in December 1996. In addition, Reading

1


intends to expand the Angelika Film Center concept to other U.S. cities. Reading
has executed a lease to develop an 8-plex art cinema and cafe complex as a part
of the Bayou Place development in Houston, Texas, and is currently reviewing a
number of potential locations suitable for such complexes. At December 31, 1996,
Reading owns approximately 26% of the Company's outstanding common stock.

Reading is a publicly traded company whose shares are quoted on the
NASD/NMS and listed for trading on the NASDAQ Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Set
forth as Exhibit 10.58 to this report is the Report on Form 10K filed by Reading
with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. Reading is currently
controlled by Craig Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Craig") which owns
common and preferred stock in Reading representing approximately 78% of the
voting power of that company. Craig also holds options to acquire 666,000 shares
of Citadel stock at $3.00 per share, which options are due to expire on April
11, 1997. Craig has advised the Company that it intends to exercise such
options.

On August 4, 1994, Citadel and Fidelity completed a recapitalization and
restructuring transaction (the "Restructuring"), which resulted in, among other
things, the reduction of Citadel's interest in Fidelity from 100% to
approximately 16%, the acquisition by the Company from Fidelity of certain real
estate assets, and the receipt by way of dividend from Fidelity of options to
acquire at book value certain other real estate assets. During fiscal 1995,
substantially all of the Company's remaining interest in Fidelity was sold.

Citadel currently intends, at least for the near term, to continue to
manage its real estate assets, to provide real estate consulting services to its
affiliates, to work to resolve the outstanding litigation claims against it, and
to monitor the progress of Reading in its Beyond-the-Home entertainment
business. Depending upon the success of Reading in the implementation of its
business plan, the Company may exercise its Asset Put Option or elect to hold or
dispose of its current preferred stock interest in Reading, or to convert such
preferred stock interest into Reading common stock pursuant to the exercise of
the conversion feature of such preferred stock and/or to hold or dispose of such
Reading common stock. Alternatively or additionally, the Company may seek or
consider, if offered, some further transaction or transactions with Reading
and/or Craig which would permit the Company's stockholders to further
participate, directly or indirectly, in Reading's Beyond-the-Home entertainment
business. However, no such transaction is currently under consideration by the
Company. Furthermore, in the view of the Company, the continued presence of
various litigation claims constitute an impediment to a merger or liquidation of
the Company at the present time. No assurance can be given that the currently
outstanding litigation claims against the Company will necessarily be resolved
in the near term or on terms favorable to the Company or that any one or more
transactions with respect to Craig and/or Reading will be forthcoming. The
Company may, from time to time, also consider other real estate transactions.

Real estate consulting services are currently being provided by the Company
to Reading under an arrangement pursuant to which Reading reimburses Citadel for
its costs in providing such services. The Company believes that this arrangement
is beneficial to the Company, since the Company would not otherwise have
sufficient cash flow to maintain the level of executive talent currently
available to it and since this arrangement allows its executives to monitor and
to provide input with respect to the development of Reading's land based
entertainment businesses. During fiscal 1996, Reading paid to Citadel $169,000
with respect to such consulting services. Citadel's management is currently
studying ways in which to further reduce the Company's net overhead and general
administrative expenses, however, no assurances can be given to this regard.

MANAGEMENT

Steve Wesson is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
From 1989 until he joined the Company in 1993, Mr. Wesson served as CEO of
Burton Property Trust Inc., the U.S. real estate subsidiary of The Burton Group
PLC. In this position he was responsible for the restructuring and eventual
disposal of the Company's assets in the U.S.

2


S. Craig Tompkins became the Secretary/Treasurer of Citadel in September,
1994. Mr. Tompkins is also the Vice Chairman and a director of Citadel, the
President and a director of Craig and the Vice Chairman and a director of
Reading. Prior to joining Craig and Reading in March, 1993, Mr. Tompkins was a
partner in the law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

Brett Marsh is responsible for the real estate activities of the Company.
Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Marsh was the Senior Vice President of Burton
Company Trust, Inc., the U.S. real estate subsidiary of the Burton Group PLC.
In this position, Mr. Marsh was responsible for the real estate portfolio of
that company.

The Company has one additional employee, and shares space and has
contracted for certain administrative and accounting services with Craig.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES

REAL ESTATE INTERESTS

The table below provides an overview of the real estate assets owned by the
Company at December 31, 1996.

ARBOLEDA, PHOENIX
- -----------------

This property was acquired by the Company for $6.4 million in August 1994
and is substantially leased to American Express Company, which occupies 56%
(100,252 sq. ft.) of the property.

BRAND, GLENDALE
- ---------------

This property was acquired by the Company for $7.12 million in May 1995 and
is leased 87% to Disney Enterprises, Inc. ("Disney") and 13% to Fidelity, with
Fidelity occupying the ground floor.

3


The base rental rate for the first five years of the Fidelity lease term is
$26,000 per month (including parking). With the lease providing for annual
rental increases at a rate equal to the lower of the increase in the Consumer
Price Index or 3%, the rental rate of the Fidelity lease at December 31, 1996 is
$26,600 per month. After the first five years of the lease term, the rental
rate will be adjusted to the higher of the then current market rate or $1.50 per
square foot increased by the annual rental rate increase applied during the
first five years of the lease as described in the preceding sentence. Fidelity
has the option to extend the lease of the ground floor for two consecutive five
year terms at a market rental rate.

On October 1, 1996, the Company entered into a ten year full service lease
for all of the floors, excluding the ground floor (approximately 80,000 square
feet), with Disney. The rental rate for the first five years of the lease term
beginning February 1, 1997 is approximately $148,000 per month (excluding
parking) and approximately $164,000 (excluding parking) for the remaining five-
year term. Disney has the option to renew the lease for two consecutive five
year terms. The lease provides that the Company will contribute towards tenant
improvements and common area upgrades approximately $2.3 million. In addition,
the Company anticipates incurring costs for other building upgrades,
governmental compliance, commissions and legal fees amounting to approximately
$1.2 million. Concurrently with the execution of the Disney lease, the Company
amended its then existing lease with Fidelity resulting in 1) termination of the
Fidelity lease with respect to floors four through six, resulting in a reduction
of rent payments amounting to approximately $75,000 per month after January 31,
1997, 2) termination of Fidelity's option to purchase the Glendale Building, 3)
a modification of the mortgage with Fidelity on the building to eliminate the
prepayment penalty and 4) reimbursement on February 1, 1997 by the Company to
Fidelity of rental payments in the amount of approximately $450,000 (See Note 3
to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

PARTHENIA
- ---------

The Parthenia property was sold in January 1997 for $1,210,000, which
amount, net of closing costs, approximated book value.

EXECUTIVE OFFICES
- -----------------

The Company currently shares executive office space with Craig, under an
arrangement whereby the Company and Craig allocate the costs of such office
space and certain support facilities. During fiscal 1996, the Company's share of
such office space and support facilities approximated $24,000. The Company
believes that this arrangement is beneficial to the Company in that it permits
the Company to maintain quality executive office facilities at a lesser cost
that would be the case if the Company were to maintain comparable facilities
separate and apart from Craig.

FINANCING OF REAL ESTATE INTERESTS

The Company's 1994 acquisition of the Arboleda and Parthenia properties was
100% leveraged: Financing was obtained through the combination of a conventional
mortgage loan from Fidelity on the Arboleda Property with the balance of the
Arboleda purchase price and the entire purchase price of the Parthenia Property
financed through drawdowns on an $8.2 million line of credit from Craig (the
"Craig Line of Credit").

The loan secured by the Arboleda Property has a seven-year term, amortizing
over 25 years, with an adjustable rate of interest tied to a 30 day LIBOR rate
plus 4.5% per annum, with an initial rate of 9.25% per annum. The interest rate
on this loan is currently 9.875%.

4


The Craig Line of Credit was initially committed in the amount of $8.2
million, of which $6.2 million was immediately drawn down. On November 10, 1994,
the Company retired $5.25 million of the Craig Line of Credit by issuance to
Craig of 1,329,114 shares of 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Stock"). In May of 1995, the remaining balance of $950,000 on
the Craig line of credit was paid in full and the line of credit was canceled.

With regard to the purchase of the Glendale Building, Fidelity extended a
five year loan, amortizing over twenty years, at an adjustable rate of interest
tied to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 4.5% per annum, adjustable monthly. The
interest rate on this loan is currently 9.875%.

In May, 1995, Citadel obtained a loan of $765,000 from American Savings on
the Parthenia property. The loan provided for a term of 30 years, amortizing
over 30 years, at a fixed rate of interest of 2.950 over the 11th District Cost
of Funds. This loan was repaid in full in January 1997, concurrent with the
sale of the Parthenia Property.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ROVEN LITIGATION

Citadel, Hecco Ventures I and James J. Cotter are defendants in a civil
action filed in 1990 by Alfred Roven in the United Sates District Court for the
Central District of California. The complaint alleged fraud by Citadel in a
proxy solicitation relating to Citadel's 1987 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and
breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages
in an amount alleged to exceed $40 million. The complaint grew out of and was
originally asserted as a counter claim in an action brought by Citadel against
Roven to recover alleged short swing profits (the "Section 16 Action"). Citadel
believes it has meritorious defenses to these claims and has not reserved any
amounts with respect thereto. In October 1995, Citadel, Hecco Ventures I and
James J. Cotter were granted summary judgment on all causes of action asserted
in the 1990 complaint in federal court. Roven has appealed that judgment.

In 1995, Roven filed a complaint in the California Superior Court against
Citadel, Hecco Ventures I and James J. Cotter and, in addition, S. Craig
Tompkins and certain other persons, including Citadel's outside counsel and
certain former directors of Citadel (which directors are currently directors of
Craig and/or Reading), alleging malicious prosecution in connection with the
Section 16 Action. Citadel believes that it has meritorious defenses to these
claims, and has not reserved any amounts with respect thereto. Defense of the
action has been accepted by Citadel's insurers. In August 1996, the Los Angeles
County Superior Court ordered summary judgment in favor of Citadel and all other
defendants. Roven has appealed that judgment.

FIDELITY EMPLOYEE LITIGATION

A former Fidelity employee, William Strocco, brought a wrongful termination
and defamation action against Fidelity and Citadel, which was filed in Los
Angeles County Superior Court on March 9, 1995. Citadel was named as a defendant
on the basis that Citadel allegedly conspired with and induced Fidelity to
breach its employment agreement with Strocco. In July 1996, the Superior Court
ordered summary judgment in favor of Citadel. The case was subsequently settled
by Fidelity and the plaintiff.

5


SECURITIES LITIGATION

In July 1995, Citadel was named as a defendant in a lawsuit alleging
violations of federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering
of common stock of Citadel's then wholly owned subsidiary, Fidelity, in 1994
(the "Harbor Finance Litigation"). The suit was filed by Harbor finance Partners
in an alleged class action complaint in the United States District Court -
Central District of California, and named as defendants Citadel, Fidelity,
Richard M. Greenwood (Fidelity's chief executive officer and Citadel's former
chief executive officer), J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Deloitte & Touche
LLP. The complaint which has been amended on three occasions in response to
motions to dismiss brought by Fidelity and Citadel, and which as amended, has
deleted defendants, J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Deloitte & Touche LLP,
alleged that false and misleading information was provided by the defendants in
connection with Fidelity's stock offering and the defendants knew and failed to
disclose negative information concerning Fidelity. Defendant has also alleged
that defendants should have advised it of its legal rights with respect to
withdrawal from the offering after it had executed subscription documentation.
Defense of the action has been accepted by Fidelity under the terms of the
Stockholders Agreement entered into between Citadel and Fidelity as part of the
restructuring of Citadel's interest in Fidelity, and Citadel, to date, has not
retained separate counsel with respect to this litigation and is not incurring
outside costs of defense. In August 1996, the Federal District Court for the
Central District of California dismissed with prejudice all federal claims in
the case against Citadel, Fidelity and Greenwood and dismissed all state claims
without prejudice to the ability of the plaintiff to file such claims in a new
state court action. The plaintiff has appealed this judgment. In October 1996,
the plaintiff filed a class action suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court
alleging claims substantially similar to those previously filed in federal
court, to which Citadel and the remaining defendants demurred. In March 1997,
the Superior Court sustained this demurrers without leave to amend. In light of
the Plaintiff's appeal of the Federal District Court's dismissal of its Federal
claims, the Company assumes that the Plaintiff will likewise appeal the Superior
Court's dismissal of its State claims. Citadel believes that it has meritorious
defenses to these claims, and has not reserved any amounts with respect thereto.
However, the damages claimed by the plaintiff are in an unspecified amount, and
the proceeds of the offering which is the subject of the complaint were in
excess of the net worth of the Company.

ITEM 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the year ended December 31, 1996.

HOLDERS OF RECORD

The number of holders of record of the Company's common stock at March 20,
1997 was 250.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

While Citadel has never declared a dividend on its Common Stock and has no
current plan to declare a dividend, it is Citadel's policy to review this matter
on an ongoing basis.

DIVIDENDS ON 3% VOTING CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

On November 10, 1994, the Company issued 1,329,114 shares of 3% Cumulative
Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a stated value of
$3.95 per share, or $5,250,000, to Craig in satisfaction of certain indebtedness
owed by the Company under the Craig Line of Credit. The Preferred Stock carried
a liquidation preference equal to its stated value and bears a cumulative
(noncompounded) annual dividend equal to 3% of the stated value. Incident to the
Reading Investment Transaction, Craig transferred the Preferred Stock to
Reading, and Reading and the Company exchanged the Preferred Stock for an equal
number of shares of the Company's Series B 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock" and collectively with the
Preferred Stock, the "CHC Preferred Stock"), such Series B Preferred Stock
included certain revised terms as negotiated by the Company in the context of
the Reading Investment Transaction. In December 1996, the Company redeemed such
Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of certain

7


redemption rights in favor of the Company, as set forth in the Certificate of
Designation, for approximately $6.19 million.

During 1996, the Board of Directors declared and paid dividends on the CHC
Preferred Stock in the amount of approximately $232,000.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


Citadel Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Citadel" and
collectively with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the "Company") has been engaged
primarily in the ownership and management of commercial and residential property
since August 1994. During this time period, the Company has considered
acquisitions outside of the ownership and management of commercial and
residential properties, and as a consequence of the real estate advisory and
consulting services provided on a fee basis to its shareholder affiliate,
Reading Entertainment, Inc. ("REI" and collectively with its consolidated
subsidiaries, "Reading"), has gained familiarity with the cinema exhibition
industry and the operations and prospects of Reading.

In May 1996, the Company's shareholder affiliates, Reading and Craig
Corporation ("CC" and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Craig")
authorized their respective managements to work together to develop one or more
proposals to provide Reading with the capital funding necessary to pursue its
entertainment industry business plan. In June 1996, the Company authorized its
management to cooperate with such efforts and formed a special committee of the
Board composed of outside directors unaffiliated with Craig and/or Reading to
participate in the negotiation and review of any such potential transaction (the
"Independent Committee"). The Independent Committee retained legal counsel and
investment banking advisors to assist it in this process.

On October 15, 1996, the Company, with the approval of the Board of
Directors, consummated the transaction (the "Reading Investment Transaction")
contemplated by an exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") dated as of
September 4, 1996 by and among Citadel, Reading and Craig and certain of their
respective affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the
Company contributed cash in the amount of $7 million to Reading in exchange for
70,000 shares of Reading Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the Asset Put Option. Craig contributed
assets in exchange for 2,476,190 shares of Reading Common Stock and 550,000
shares of Reading Series B Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The
assets transferred by Craig consisted of 693,650 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock of Stater Bros. Holdings Inc., Craig's 50% membership interest in Reading
International Cinemas LLC, and 1,329,114 shares of the Company's Preferred
Stock. Upon consummation of the transaction, Craig and the Company held in the
aggregate approximately 82.4% of the voting power of Reading, with Craig's
holdings representing approximately 77.4% of the voting power of Reading and the
Company's holdings representing approximately 5% of such voting power. See
footnote 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed
information concerning the provisions of the Exchange Agreement.

In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, Reading exchanged the Preferred
Stock of the Company received from Craig for an equal number of shares of the
Company's Series B 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series
B Preferred Stock"). The terms of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock were
substantially identical to the terms of the Company's previously issued
Preferred Stock except (i) the Redemption Accrual Percentage was reduced from 9%
to 3% after October 15, 1996 and (ii) except upon a change of control of the
Company, the holders of the Series

11


B Preferred Stock would no longer have the right to convert the Series B
Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock during the one year period commencing
on the fifteenth day following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In December 1996, Reading notified
the Company of its exercise of its conversion rights. On December 20, 1996,
Citadel redeemed the Series B Preferred Stock from Reading pursuant to the
exercise of certain redemption rights set forth in the Certificate of
Designation with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. Such redemption price
amounted to approximately $6.19 million. As a consequence of the Series B
Preferred Stock redemption, Reading's ownership of Citadel decreased to reflect
its approximately 26% common stock holdings.

The Asset Put Option is exercisable any time after October 15, 1996 through
a date thirty days after Reading's Form 10-K is filed with respect to its year
ended December 31, 1999, and gives the Company the right to exchange, for shares
of Reading Common Stock, all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, as defined, together with any debt encumbering such assets (the "Asset
Put"). In exchange for up to $20 million in aggregate appraised value of the
Company's assets on the exercise of the Asset Put Option, Reading is obligated
to deliver to the Company that number of shares of Reading Common Stock
determined by dividing the value of the Company's assets by $11.75 per share, if
the notice is received by October 31, 1997, and thereafter, $12.25 per share. If
the appraised value of the Company's assets is in excess of $20 million, Reading
is obligated to pay for the excess by issuing Common Stock at the then fair
market value up to a maximum of $30 million of assets. If the average trading
price of Reading Common Stock exceeds 130% of the then applicable exchange price
for more than 60 days, then the exchange price will thereafter be the fair
market of the Reading Common Stock from time to time, unless the Company
exercises the Asset Put within 120 days of receipt of notice from Reading of the
occurrence of such average trading price over such 60 day period.

The Reading Investment Transaction provides the Company an opportunity to
make an initial investment in the Beyond-the-Home segment of the entertainment
industry, and the ability, thereafter, to review the implementation by Reading
of its business plan and, if it approves of the progress made by Reading, to
make a further investment in this industry through the exercise of its Asset Put
Option to exchange all or substantially all of its assets for Reading Common
Stock. The Company has the right to require Reading to redeem the securities
issued to it in the Reading Investment Transaction after five years or sooner if
Reading fails to pay dividends on such securities for four quarters.

Reading is a publicly traded company whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ.
Reading is currently involved in conventional multiplex cinema exhibition in
Puerto Rico through its Cine Vista Cinemas chain, in the exhibition of art and
specialty film through its interest in the Angelika Film Center (a specialty art
multiplex cinema and cafe complex located in the Soho area of New York City),
and the development of a new chain of conventional multiplex cinemas and
entertainment centers in Australia. Reading opened its first multiplex cinema in
Australia in December 1996. In addition, Reading expects to expand the Angelika
Film Center concept to other U.S. cities, has executed a lease to develop an 8-
plex art cinema and cafe complex as a part of the Bayou Place development in
Houston, Texas, and is currently reviewing a number of potential locations
suitable for such complexes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------


Due to the nature of the Company's business activities the Company's
historical and future revenues have varied significantly reflecting the results
of real estate sales and the disposition of its previously owned subsidiary,
Fidelity. In addition, rental income and earnings may vary significantly
depending upon the properties owned by the Company during the periods being
reported. Accordingly, year to year comparisons of operating results will not
be indicative of future financial results.


YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 ("FISCAL 1996) VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("FISCAL 1995")
- ---------------


The Company's net earnings for Fiscal 1996 amounted to approximately
$6,426,000 or $0.80 per share, as compared to $1,398,000 or $0.17 per share for
Fiscal 1995. Included in net earnings for Fiscal 1996 is (1) approximately
$1,493,000 from the sale of an apartment property and an undeveloped parcel of
land and (2) non-recurring income amounting to $4,000,000 resulting from the
recognition for financial statement purposes of previously deferred proceeds
from the bulk sale of loans and properties by Citadel's previously owned
subsidiary, Fidelity Federal Bank ("Fidelity"). At the time of the bulk sale in
1994 by Fidelity, Citadel agreed to indemnify Fidelity, up to $4,000,000, with
respect to certain losses that might be incurred by Fidelity in the event of a
breach by Fidelity of certain representations made to the purchaser of such
loans and properties. During 1996, Fidelity reached a settlement with the
purchaser regarding such bulk sale claims and released Citadel from the
indemnity. Included in the 1995 Fiscal Year net earnings is approximately
$1,541,000 from the sale of two rental properties.

Interest and dividend income amounted to $939,000 in Fiscal 1996 as
compared to $710,000 in Fiscal 1995. The increase between Fiscal 1996 and 1995
was due to higher investable fund balances during most of 1996. Cash balances
decreased in October 1996 as a result of the Company's $7 million investment in
Reading and again in December 1996 as a result of the Company's $6.19 million
redemption of its Series B Preferred Stock. Included in interest and dividend
income in Fiscal 1996 is dividend income of approximately $95,000 earned with
respect to the Company's Reading Series A Preferred Stock.

Rental income amounted to approximately $4,932,000 in Fiscal 1996 as
compared to $5,402,000 in Fiscal 1995. The decrease in Fiscal 1996 is
principally due to a reduction of the number of rental properties owned by the
Company between the periods. The apartment building held for sale at December
31, 1996 was sold in January 1997 for an amount, net of expenses, approximating
book value. An apartment building (the "Veselich Building") was sold in May
1996, resulting in a reduction of rental income amounting to approximately $1
million as compared to Fiscal 1995. Such decrease was partially offset by an
increase in rental income amounting to approximately $270,000 resulting, in
part, from the two-year lease renewal of approximately 58% of the Arboleda
property at increased rates and an increase in rental income amounting to
approximate ly $300,000 resulting from an entire years ownership of a six floor
commercial building located in Glendale, California (the "Glendale Building").
As of December 31, 1996 rental properties consisted of one apartment building
(held for sale) and two commercial buildings as compared to two apartment
buildings and two commercial buildings (one of which was purchased in May 1995)
as of December 31, 1995.

13


The Glendale Building was purchased in May 1995 from Fidelity. Two floors
of the Glendale Building were leased to Public Storage until April 1996 and four
floors, including the ground floor, were leased to Fidelity under a long-term
lease. In October 1996, the Company amended the office lease with Fidelity for
the Glendale Building resulting in, among other things, the termination of
Fidelity's lease of floors four through six, and concurrently with such
amendment, entered into a ten year lease with Disney Enterprises Inc. ("Disney")
for all the floors, excluding the ground floor, which continues to be leased by
Fidelity. The rental rate for the first five years of the Disney lease term
beginning February 1, 1997 is approximately $148,000 per month and approximately
$164,000 for the remaining five year term (in each case excluding parking).
Disney has the option to renew the lease for two consecutive five year periods.
The lease provides that the Company will contribute towards tenant improvements
and common area upgrades approximately $2.3 million. In addition, the Company
anticipates incurring costs for other building upgrades, governmental
compliance, commissions and legal fees prior to the commencement of lease
payments by Disney of approximately $1.2 million. The commissions, legal fees
and reimburse ment to Fidelity, totaling approximately $1,326,000 are included
in the Balance Sheet at December 31, 1996 as "Capitalized leasing costs" and are
being amortized over the term of the lease.

Real estate operating costs decreased in Fiscal 1996 to $2,481,000 as
compared to $2,660,000 in Fiscal 1995, principally as a result of the sale of
the Veselich Building. This decrease was partially offset by costs associated
with operating the Glendale Building purchased in May 1995.

Interest expense was comparable in Fiscal 1996 and 1995 and amounted to
approximately $1,317,000 in Fiscal 1996 as compared to $1,327,000 in Fiscal
1995. The comparability of such amounts reported as interest expense is a
result of the time periods mortgage loans were outstanding during each of the
two fiscal years. The Company obtained two mortgages aggregating approximately
$6.1 million in the second quarter of 1995. In May 1996, the Company upon the
sale of a rental property for approximately $8.941 million, net of expenses,
repaid a mortgage loan on said property amounting to approximately $5.7 million.
Accordingly, outstanding mortgages decreased approximately $5,882,000 between
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and in January 1997 decreased
approximately $755,000 due to an additional early repayment of a mortgage loan
upon the sale of the Parthenia property. The interest rate on the remaining
outstanding loans approximated 9.875% at December 31, 1996.

General and administrative expenses decreased to approximately $745,000 in
Fiscal 1996 as compared to $1,807,000 in Fiscal 1995. The $880,000 decrease
reflected in Fiscal 1996 is primarily attributable to (i) a $290,000 reduction
in outside legal and professional expenses, (ii) a decrease in directors fees of
approximately $250,000 in the Fiscal 1996, (iii) an $89,000 insurance
reimbursement of legal costs and (iv) the non-recurrence of approximately
$250,000 of costs incurred in Fiscal 1995 associated with a parcel of land which
was sold in Fiscal 1996. In addition, Fiscal 1996 general and administrative
expenses includes approximately $169,000 in fee income for consulting services
provided by employees of the Company to Reading as compared to $120,000 in
Fiscal 1995.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 ("FISCAL 1995) VERSUS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
("FISCAL 1994")
- ---------------

Prior to a restructuring in August 1994, Citadel was a financial services
holding company engaged in the savings bank business through Fidelity. It
conducted virtually no operations at the holding company level. In the
Restructuring, Citadel's interest in Fidelity was reduced from 100% to 16.2% and
Citadel transferred the stock of its other subsidiary, Gateway, to Fidelity
leaving Citadel with no historical operating business. As a result, effective
January 1, 1994, Citadel ceased including the results of Fidelity and Gateway on
a consolidated basis in its financial statements and began accounting for its
investment in Fidelity on the cost basis. Since the Restructuring, Citadel has
been engaged primarily in the ownership and management of commercial and
residential real property. Therefore, no meaningful comparisons can be made
between Citadel's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1995
(twelve months of real estate operations) and December 31, 1994 (5 months of
real estate operations).

In addition to the reduction of Citadel's interest in Fidelity, in the
Restructuring, (1) the Company acquired from Fidelity four real properties for a
purchase price of approximately $19.8 million (Fidelity's book value) of which
$13.9 million was financed by Fidelity on a secured basis and the balance was
financed by Craig, under a short-term line of credit; (2) the Company received,
by way of dividend from Fidelity, options to acquire at book value ($9.3
million) two office buildings used by Fidelity in its operations (the "Building
Options"); (3) the Company acquired, again by way of a dividend, Fidelity's
interest in certain outstanding litigation, and (4) Citadel agreed to indemnify
Fidelity, up to a limit of $4 million, with respect to certain representations
and warranties made by Fidelity to certain third party buyers in connection with
bulk sales made as part of the Restructuring (the "Bulk Sale Indemnity").

The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 of
$1,398,000 or $0.16 per share, including a gain of approximately $1,541,000 from
the sale of an office building in Sherman Oaks, California and a residential
property in Harbor City, California. The Company reported a net loss of $174.8
million or $26.45 per share in Fiscal 1994 comprised of (i) a $112.1 million
loss from the operations of its former subsidiary, Fidelity, through the date of
the Restructuring, (ii) writedowns of $59.9 million on the Company's investment
in Fidelity at and following the Restructuring, (iii) a $900,000 administrative
charge paid to Fidelity prior to the Restructuring, and (iv) a $1.9 million loss
from its ongoing operations.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 1995, the Company exercised the Building
Options and on March 23, 1995 purchased and immediately sold the Sherman Oaks
Building for a gain of approximately $560,000. On May 18, 1995, the Company
purchased the Glendale Building for an exercise price of approximately $7.12
million. Concurrent with the purchase, the Company entered into a ten year,
full service gross lease with Fidelity for four of the six floors of the
Glendale Building providing for a base rent, subject to annual escalations, of
approximately $1,220,000 annually. At December 31, 1995 rental properties
consisted of one apartment building and two commercial buildings as compared to
three apartment buildings and one commercial building at December 31, 1994.
Properties held for sale at December 31, 1995 was comprised of one apartment
building with a book value of $7,542,000 and an undeveloped parcel of land with
a book value of $400,000.

15


During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company sold substantially
all of its remaining interest in Fidelity and settled certain litigation, which
resulted in the Company receiving net cash proceeds of approximately $11,938,000
and the return of 666,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Fiscal 1995
net earnings includes a loss of approximately $41,000 from the sale of such
Fidelity shares calculated by comparing (i) the net cash proceeds combined with
the amount ascribed to the common stock received ($2.125 per share), to (ii)the
carrying value of such Fidelity stock included in the balance sheet as
Investment in Fidelity held for sale at December 31, 1994. The Company has
reflected the return of the Company's common stock as treasury stock in the
amount of $1,415,000.

The sale of the real properties and the sale of the Fidelity stock
attributed to the significant increase in cash and cash equivalents during
December 31, 1995. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was offset, in
part, by the purchase of the Glendale Building for approximately $7.12 million
which was funded with $1.78 million of cash and a mortgage of approximately
$5.34 million. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $4,805,000 at December 31,
1994 as compared to $16,291,000 at December 31, 1995. Accordingly, interest
income increased significantly during the third and fourth quarter of Fiscal
1995. The Company's net operating results for Fiscal 1995 include interest
income amounting to $710,000, as compared to $45,000 in Fiscal 1994.

Rental income amounted to $5,402,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared to
$2,070,000 for fiscal 1994. Rental income may vary significantly depending upon
the properties owned by the Company during the periods being reported. As
described above, the Company did not engage in the ownership and management of
commercial and residential properties until the Restructuring in August 1994.
Accordingly, Fiscal 1994 reflects rental income for only five months as compared
to twelve months in Fiscal 1995. In addition, Fiscal 1995 includes rental
income from the Company's May acquisition of the Glendale Building, somewhat
offset, by a reduction in rental income resulting from the sale of the Harbor
City residential property in the first quarter of 1995.

During Fiscal 1995, the Company made a decision to sell the Veselich
residential property and, accordingly, included this property with a carrying
value of $7,542,000 at December 31, 1995 in Properties held for sale. On March
26, 1996, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell the
Veselich property, whereby the Buyer agreed to purchase said property for
approximately $9.3 million which closed in May 1996.

Interest expense amounted to $1,327,000 in Fiscal 1995 and $649,000 in
Fiscal 1994. As described above, at the date of the Restructuring, the Company
purchased the properties from Fidelity with an acquisition price of $19.8
million with mortgage financing from Fidelity and a short-term line of credit
amounting to $6.2 million from Craig. Fiscal 1994 interest expense reflects
interest for the five month period on the indebtedness incurred at the
Restructuring and includes $266,000 paid to Craig under the terms of the Craig
line of credit.

On November 10, 1994, the Company issued 1,329,114 shares of 3% Cumulative
Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a stated value of
$3.95 per share. The sales price of the 1,329,114 shares sold was $5,250,000
which was paid through the conversion of a portion of the $6.2 million
indebtedness to Craig, resulting in a reduction in interest costs. Subsequent
to the sale of the Fidelity shares in April 1995, the Company paid in full the
remaining $950,000 loan from Craig. Included in interest expense for Fiscal
1995 is approximately $59,000 related to the loan from Craig. The reduction in
interest costs associated with the pay-off and

16


conversion of the Craig loan to Preferred shares and the assignment of the
mortgage indebtedness as part of the sale of the Harbor City property was
offset, in part, by $5.34 million of mortgage financing obtained to purchase the
Glendale Building in Fiscal 1995.

General and administrative expenses from real estate operations amounted to
$1,807,000 in Fiscal 1995 as compared to $1,785,000 in Fiscal 1994. During
Fiscal 1995, the Company incurred additional legal fees pertaining to
outstanding litigation and paid bonuses and directors fees for past services
aggregating approximately $302,500, which were authorized by the Board to the
Chairman, Vice-Chairman and President. Such employee related costs were offset
by a payment of approximately $120,000 by affiliates of Craig to the Company for
real estate consulting services provided by employees to such affiliates.

Fiscal 1994 general and administrative expenses represented only five
months of operations and included approximately $1.1 million related to a
contested proxy, solicitation, litigation defense and settlement costs. Such
legal costs included the costs of defending a lawsuit filed in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware by a stockholder, Dillon Investors L.P., in
November 1994, naming as defendants the Company, its directors and Craig. On
April 13, 1995, the Company, Craig and Dillon Investors and its affiliates (the
"Dillon Parties") entered into settlement agreements to resolve this litigation.
Under the settlement agreements, the Dillon Parties purchased from Citadel
1,295,000 shares of Class B common stock of Fidelity owned by the Company in
exchange for which the Company received from Dillon Parties $2.22 million and
666,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and all existing litigation among
the Company, Craig and the Dillon Parties was terminated, with mutual releases
executed and delivered. The Dillon Parties also agreed for a period of one year
following the closing, not to purchase or acquire any other beneficial interests
in any of the Company's securities, and not to engage in any solicitations of
consents or proxies.

The settlement terms also included an agreement by Craig with the Dillon
Parties not to exercise, prior to February 4, 1996, its right to tender any
shares of the Preferred Stock for conversion into the Company's common stock
without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In exchange for such
concession from Craig, the Company agreed to grant Craig a two year warrant to
acquire the 666,000 shares of the Company's common stock acquired from the
Dillon Parties at a price of $3.00 per share, and reimbursed Craig for certain
legal costs associated with the litigation amounting to approximately $62,000.


BUSINESS PLAN, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY
- -------------------------------------------------------------

Fiscal 1996
- -----------

Fiscal 1996 cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $9,932,000
from $16,291,000 at December 31, 1995 to $6,359,000 at December 31, 1996. Net
cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1996
amounted to $1,460,000 and net cash used in financing activities amounted to
approximately $12,305,000. The principal sources of liquid funds in Fiscal 1996
was from the sale of properties amounting to $9,361,000. The principal uses of
liquid funds in 1996 included (i) a $7 million investment in its shareholder,
Reading, (ii) a $5,883,000 repayment of mortgage loans including $5,690,000
repaid as a result of a rental property sale in May 1996, (iii) the Company's
redemption from Reading of its Series

17


B Preferred Stock in the amount of $6,190,000, (iv) improvements to rental
properties amounting to $504,000 and (v) the payment of preferred stock
dividends amounting to $232,000.

The Company expects that its sources of funds in the near term will include
(i) cash on hand and related interest income, (ii) cash flow from the operations
of its real estate properties, (iii) approximately $350,000 of proceeds from the
sale of a rental property net of a mortgage loan repayment with respect to an
apartment building sold in January 1997, (iv) consulting fee income from Reading
and (v) a quarterly preferred stock dividend from Reading amounting to
approximately $455,000 annually.

In the short-term, uses of funds are expected to include (i) funding of the
Glendale Building leasehold improvements and building upgrades required under
the terms of the Disney lease amounting to approximately $3 million, (ii)
operating expenses, (iii) payment of December 31, 1996 accrued liabilities
including approximately $870,000 of unpaid commissions and releasing costs
incurred in releasing the Glendale Building, and (iv) debt service pursuant to
the property mortgages.

Management believes that the Company's sources of funds will be sufficient
to meet its cash flow requirements for the foreseeable future. The October 1996
Reading Investment Transaction, described above, provided the Company with the
opportunity to make an initial investment in the Beyond-the-Home segment of the
entertainment industry, and the ability thereafter, to review the implementation
by Reading of its business plan and, if it approves of the progress made by
Reading, to make a further investment in this industry through the exercise of
its Asset Put Option to exchange all or substantially all of its assets for
Reading Common Stock. The Company has the right to require Reading to redeem
the securities issued to it in the Exchange Transaction after five years or
sooner if Reading fails to pay dividends on such securities for four quarters.

Fiscal 1995
- ------------

Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $11,486,000 in Fiscal 1995
to $16,291,000 at December 31, 1995. Net cash provided by investing activities
amounted to $11,165,000 including cash proceeds from the sale of its remaining
Fidelity stock and proceeds from the sale of properties amounting to $11,938,000
and $8,837,000, respectively. Fiscal 1995 proceeds from long-term mortgage
financing amounted to approximately $6,104,000. During Fiscal 1995, principal
uses of funds included the purchase and improvement of rental properties
amounting to $9,610,000 and the repayment of long-term and short-term principal
borrowings of approximately $4,764,000.

Fiscal 1994
- -----------

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $141,156,000 in Fiscal
1994, inclusive of a decrease of approximately $143,677,000, resulting from the
deconsolidation of the Company's previously owned subsidiary, Fidelity. In
August 1994, Citadel completed a restructuring in which among other things,
Citadel's ownership interest in Fidelity was reduced to 16% and the Company
formed a new subsidiary which purchased four real properties using funds of
approximately $20,055,000. Proceeds to purchase such properties was obtained
through long-term mortgage debt amounting to approximately $13,930,000 and a
$6,200,000 short-term credit line from the Company's shareholder affiliate,
Craig.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors
Citadel Holding Corporation


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Citadel Holding Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CITADEL HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citadel Holding
Corporation ("Citadel") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the
"Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

On October 15, 1996, the Company consummated the transaction (the "Exchange
Transaction") contemplated by an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement")
with its shareholder affiliates, Craig Corporation ("Craig") and Reading
Entertainment, Inc. ("Reading"). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, the Company contributed cash in the amount of $7 million to Reading
in exchange for 70,000 shares of Reading Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and an option to transfer all
or substantially all (subject to certain limitations) of its assets to Reading
for Reading Common Stock (the "Asset Put Option"). See Note 4. The Company
accounts for its investment in Reading at cost.

As a result of a restructuring in August 1994, described in Note 5, effective
January 1, 1994, Citadel no longer consolidates its previously wholly owned
subsidiary, Fidelity Federal Bank ("Fidelity") in its financial statements;
rather it accounts for its investment in Fidelity on the cost basis. According
ly, information for the year ended December 31, 1994 presents the Company's
results of operations for the five months subsequent to the Restructuring
separate from the results of operations of Fidelity, which have been included in
the statement of operations as "Gain (Loss) of and Writedown of Investment in
Fidelity".


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------


Cash and cash equivalents
- -------------------------

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash
equivalents at December 31, 1996 is approximately $5.75 million which is being
held in institutional money market mutual funds.

Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------

Depreciation and amortization is generally provided using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 27 to 39
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of respective leases
or the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, (CONT'D)
- -------------------------------------------------------------

Deferred Financing Costs
- ------------------------

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are amortized over the
terms of the respective loans on a straight line basis.

Capitalized Leasing Costs
- -------------------------

Commissions and other costs incurred in connection with obtaining leases are
amortized over the terms of the respective leases on a straight line basis.

Earnings (Loss) per Share Data
- ------------------------------

Earnings per share is based on 7,983,416, 8,233,174 and 6,610,280, the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and the
outstanding Warrants and stock options are common stock equivalents. For 1996
and 1995, the calculation of the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding included the effect of shares assumed to be issued on conversion of
the outstanding 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock during the
period of time such stock was outstanding and the outstanding Warrants and stock
options. The number of shares assumed converted as of the beginning of the
period being reported amounted to 2,046,784 and was calculated in accordance
with the Preferred Stock conversion terms described in Note 8. The Preferred
Stock is not included in the 1994 calculation as its effect was anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets
- --------------------------------------------------

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of
Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long Lived Assets
and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed of". Among other provisions, the
statement changed current accounting practices for the evaluation of the
impairment of long lived assets. The adoption did not have a material affect
on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

at an amount approximating book value.

In May 1996, the Company sold the apartment rental property held for sale at
December 31, 1995, for approximately $8.94 million, net of expenses. The sale
resulted in a gain of approximately $1.473 million. Concurrent with the sale,
the Company paid off the related mortgage note payable amounting to
approximately $5.7 million. In addition, in August 1996, the Company sold the
undeveloped parcel of land in Claremont for a price, net of expenses, which
resulted in a gain of approximately $20,000.

During 1995, the Company sold an apartment building for approximately $5.9
million, net of expenses. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $981,000.

On February 2, 1995, the Company exercised the Building Options described in
Note 5 to purchase the two office buildings from Fidelity. On March 23, 1995,
the Company purchased and immediately sold the Sherman Oaks Building for a gain
of approximately $560,000. On May 18, 1995, the Company purchased the Glendale
Building at an exercise price of $7.12 million. In connection with the Glendale
Building the Company obtained a $5.34 million five year mortgage from Fidelity,
which amortizes on a twenty year basis with interest payable monthly at the 30
day LIBOR rate plus 4.5%. The Company paid Fidelity a loan fee of 1% plus normal
closing costs.

NOTE 3 - RENTAL PROPERTIES AND PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE, CONT'D
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

In August 1994, the Company and Fidelity entered into a ten year, full service
gross lease for four of the six floors of an office building owned by the
Company in Glendale, California (the "Glendale Building"). The rental rate for
the first five years of the lease term was approximately $26,000 per month
(including parking) for the ground floor and approximately $75,000 per month
(including parking), for the fourth through sixth floors. On October 1, 1996,
the Company and Fidelity amended the office lease for the Glendale Building
resulting in (1) termination of the lease obligation for floors four through six
resulting in a reduction of rent payments amounting to approximately $75,000 per
month after January 31, 1997, (2) termination of Fidelity's option to purchase
the Glendale Building, (3) a modification of the mortgage with Fidelity on the
Glendale Building eliminating the prepayment penalty and (4) an obligation by
the Company to refund to Fidelity previous rents approximating $450,000 on
February 1, 1997. Concurrent with the amendment of the Fidelity lease and
mortgage, the Company entered into a ten year, full service lease for all of the
floors, excluding the ground floor (approximately 80,000 square feet), of the
Glendale Building with Disney Enterprises, Inc. ("Disney"). The rental rate for
the first five years of the Disney lease term beginning February 1, 1997 is
approximately $148,000 per month (excluding parking) and approximately $164,000
(excluding parking) for the remaining five year term. Disney has the option to
renew the lease for two consecutive five year periods. The lease provides that
the Company will contribute towards tenant improvements and common area upgrades
approximately $2.3 million. In addition, the Company anticipates incurring costs
for other building upgrades, governmental compliance, commissions and legal fees
prior to the commencement of lease payments by Disney of approximately $1.2
million. The commissions, legal fees and the $450,000 payment due Fidelity,
totaling approximately $1,326,000 are included in the Balance Sheet at December
31, 1996 as "Capitalized leasing costs" and are being amortized over the term of
the lease .


NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN SHAREHOLDER AFFILIATE
- --------------------------------------------

On October 15, 1996, the Company, with the approval of the Board of Directors,
consummated the transaction (the "Reading Investment Transaction") contemplated
by an exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") dated as of September 4,
1996 by and among the Company, Reading and Craig and certain of their respective
affiliates. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company
contributed cash in the amount of $7 million to Reading in exchange for 70,000
shares of Reading Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock") and the Asset Put Option. Craig contributed assets
in exchange for 2,476,190 shares of Reading Common Stock and 550,000 shares of
Reading Series B Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The assets
transferred by Craig consisted of 693,650 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of
Stater Bros. Holdings Inc., Craig's 50% membership interest in Reading
International Cinemas LLC, and 1,329,114 shares of the Company's Preferred
Stock. In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, Reading exchanged the
Preferred Stock

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN SHAREHOLDER AFFILIATE, CONT'D
- ----------------------------------------------------


of the Company received from Craig in the Exchange for an equal number of shares
of the Company's Series B 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). Such Series B Preferred Stock received by Reading
in the Exchange Transaction was redeemed by the Company in December 1996 (Note
8).

Upon consummation of the transaction, Craig and the Company held in the
aggregate approximately 82.4% of the voting power of Reading, with Craig's
holdings representing approximately 77.4% of the voting power of Reading and the
Company's holdings representing approximately 5% of such voting power. In
February 1997, Craig increased its ownership in Reading resulting in an increase
in its voting power of Reading to 78%. At December 31, 1996, Reading holds
1,564,973 shares or approximately 26% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
Craig also holds a warrant, which expires in April 1997, to purchase 666,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.00.

The 70,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Company has (i) a
liquidation preference of $100 per share or $7 million ("Stated Value"), (ii)
bears a cumulative dividend of 6.5%, payable quarterly and (iii) is convertible
any time after 18 months from issuance (or earlier upon a change of control of
Reading) into shares of Reading Common Stock at a conversion price of $11.50 per
share. Reading may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any
time after October 15, 2001, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to
a percentage of the Stated Value (initially 108% and decreasing 2% per annum
until the percentage equals 100%). The Company has the right for a 90-day period
beginning October 15, 2001 (provided the Company has not exercised the Asset Put
Option described below), or in the event of a change of control of Reading to
require Reading to repurchase the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for
their aggregate Stated Value plus accumulated dividends. In addition, if Reading
fails to pay dividends for four quarters, the Company has the option to require
Reading to repurchase such shares at their aggregate liquidation value plus
accumulated dividends. Included in interest and dividend income is approximately
$95,000 representing dividends earned and paid to the Company with respect to
the Company's ownership of the Reading Series A Preferred Stock.

The Asset Put Option is exercisable any time after October 15, 1996 through a
date thirty days after Reading's Form 10-K is filed with respect to its year
ended December 31, 1999, and gives the Company the right to exchange all or
substantially all of its assets, as defined, together with any debt encumbering
such assets, for shares of Reading Common Stock (the "Asset Put"). In exchange
for up to $20 million in aggregate appraised value of the Company's assets on
the exercise of the Asset Put Option, Reading is obligated to deliver to the
Company a number of shares of Reading Common Stock determined by dividing the
value of the Company's assets by $11.75 per share if the notice is received by
October 31, 1997 and thereafter, $12.25 per share. If the appraised value of the
Company's assets is in excess of $20 million, Reading is obligated to pay for
the excess by issuing Common Stock at the then fair market value up to a maximum
of $30 million of assets. If the average trading price of Reading Common Stock
exceeds 130% of the then applicable exchange price for more than 60 days, then
the exchange price

will thereafter be the fair market of the Reading Common Stock from time to
time, unless the Company exercises the Asset Put within 120 days of receipt of
notice from Reading of the occurrence of such average trading price over such 60
day period. For financial reporting purposes the Company did not allocate any
value to the Asset Put Option, due to the Company's belief that the value is not
material and that the methods of valuing options include numerous subjective
assumptions and are not intended to value non-transferable options.

The Company has certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect
to Reading Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Series A Voting Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock or on exercise of the Asset Put. With respect to
the Reading Investment Transaction, Reading agreed to reimburse the Company for
its out of pocket costs, estimated to be approximately $265,000, up to a maximum
of $280,000.

Reading is a publicly traded company whose shares are listed on the NASDAQ.
Reading is currently involved in conventional multiplex cinema exhibition in
Puerto Rico through its Cine Vista Cinemas chain, in the exhibition of art and
specialty film through its interest in the Angelika Film Center (a specialty art
multiplex cinema and cafe complex located in the Soho area of New York City),
and the development of a new chain of conventional multiplex cinemas and
entertainment centers in Australia. Reading opened its first multiplex cinema in
Australia in December 1996. In addition, Reading expects to expand the Angelika
Film Center concept to other U.S. cities, has executed a lease to develop an 8-
plex art cinema and cafe complex as a part of the Bayou Place development in
Houston, Texas, and is currently reviewing a number of potential locations
suitable for such complexes.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN FIDELITY
- -------------------------------

On August 4, 1994, Citadel completed a restructuring in which, among other
things, Citadel's ownership interest in its previously wholly owned subsidiary,
Fidelity Federal Bank ("Fidelity"), was reduced to approximately 16% through the
issuance of 4,202,243 shares of Class A and Class C common stock of Fidelity to
new investors in a public offering.

During fiscal 1995, the Company's investment in Fidelity was reduced by (1) the

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN FIDELITY, CONT'D
------------------------------

The loss of and writedown of investment in Fidelity for the year ended December
31, 1994 consisted of the following:



(in thousands)
------------

Loss from operations of Fidelity through August 4, 1994 $112,072
Writedown of investment in Fidelity as of the date of
the Restructuring 52,811
Writedown representing other than temporary decline in
value from August 5, 1994 to December 31, 1994 7,081
--------
$171,964
========


Included in the writedown of investment in Fidelity as of the date of
Restructuring is the effect of the proceeds received from the D&O Litigation,
the writedown of uncollectible loans, and the deferral of the $4 million of
proceeds received from the Bulk Sale Asset Agreement relating to a sale of
Fidelity loans described below. The loss from operations of Fidelity through
August 4, 1994 was partially offset by an income tax benefit of $16,524,000.

In addition to the reduction of Citadel's interest in Fidelity, several other
significant events occurred in the Restructuring, including:

a. The purchase by a newly formed subsidiary of Citadel, Citadel Realty, Inc.
("CRI") of four real properties from Fidelity for a purchase price of $19.8
million (Fidelity's book value) of which $13.9 million was financed by Fidelity
on a secured basis, and the balance was financed by Craig, under a short-term
line of credit.

b. The receipt by Citadel from Fidelity by way of a dividend of (i) a one-year
transferable option (subsequently contributed to CRI) to acquire two office
building in Sherman Oaks and Glendale, California (the "Office Buildings") used
in the operations of Fidelity for an aggregate exercise price of $9.3 million,
portions of which buildings to be leased back to Fidelity upon purchase by the
Company (Note 3), and (ii) Fidelity's interest in a lawsuit filed against the
former carrier of Fidelity's directors' and officers insurance policies,
involving certain coverage and indemnity issues (the "D & O Litigation), which
resulted in Citadel collecting approximately $2.5 million.

c. The execution and delivery by Citadel and Fidelity of a Stockholders'
Agreement, under which Citadel agreed to reimburse Fidelity for certain losses
incurred by Fidelity in either curing breached representations or repurchasing
assets sold under a bulk sales agreement, subject to a $4 million aggregate
limit, in the event Fidelity were to be determined to have breached certain
representations made in connection with certain bulk sales of loans and
properties in 1994. As a significant number of material issues were unresolved
with regard to the Company's ultimate exposure with respect to the Company's
ultimate exposure with respect to the indemnity clause negotiated with Fidelity,
the Company included $4 million on its Balance Sheet at December 31, 1995 as

"Deferred proceeds from bulk sales agreement". During 1996, Fidelity reached a
settlement with the purchaser regarding the bulk sales claims and released the
Company from the indemnity given to Fidelity. Accordingly, the Company has
reflected in the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996,
a non-recurring gain related to its previous investment in Fidelity, which
resulted from the reversal of the $4 million deferral.

NOTE 8 - 3% CUMULATIVE VOTING CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
- ---------------------------------------------------------

On November 10, 1994, the Company issued 1,329,114 shares of 3% Cumulative
Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a stated value of
$3.95 per share to its shareholder affiliate, Craig Corporation ("Craig"). The
sales price of the 1,329,114 shares sold was $5,250,000 which was paid through
the conversion of existing indebtedness to Craig. The Preferred Stock carried a
liquidation preference equal to its stated value and had a cumulative
(noncompounded) annual dividend equal to 3% of the stated value. Each share of
the Preferred Stock entitled the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to
a vote of the Company's stockholders.

The Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the holder into common
stock. The conversion ratio was one share of Preferred Stock for a fraction of
a share of common, the numerator which is $3.95 per share plus any unpaid
dividends, and the denominator which is the average of the closing prices per
share of the Company's common stock, as defined ("Market Price"). If the Market
Price was below $3.00, the Company could redeem the Preferred Stock tendered for
conversion calculated as the sum of (1) $3.95 per share, (2) any unpaid
dividends, and (3) a premium at the redemption date equal to an accrual on the
Stated Value ranging from 9% per annum during the period from November 1994 to
November 1998 and thereafter reducing over time.

As described in Note 4, on October 15, 1996, the Company issued 1,329,114 shares
of Series B 3% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred
Stock") to Reading in exchange for the Series A Preferred Stock. The terms of
the Series B Preferred Stock were substantially identical to the terms of the
Series A Preferred Stock except that (i) the Redemption Accrual Percentage was
reduced from 9% to 3% after October 15, 1996 and (ii) except upon a change
of control of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would no
longer have the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Company
Common Stock during the one year period commencing on the fifteenth day
following the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996. In December 1996, Reading notified the Company of its
exercise of its

conversion rights. On December 20, 1996, Citadel redeemed the Series B
Preferred from Reading pursuant to the exercise of certain redemption rights set
forth in the Certificate of Designation with respect to the Series B Preferred
Stock. Such redemption price amounted to approximately $6.19 million. As a
consequence of the Series B Preferred Stock redemption, Reading's voting
ownership of Citadel decreased to reflect their approximately 26% common stock
holdings.

Included as a reduction of stockholders' equity for the year ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 is $232,000 and $101,500, respectively, representing dividends
declared and paid for the period from the date of the Preferred Stock issuance
in November 1994 until the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock in
December 1996.


NOTE 9 - FUTURE MINIMUM RENT
- ----------------------------

The Company has operating leases with tenants at its commercial properties that

approximately $169,000 and $120,000, respectively. Such amounts are included in
the statement of operations as a reduction of general and administrative
expenses.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- ---------------------------------------

There are several legal actions and claims against the Company. Based on advice
of legal counsel management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, which
may result from any of these lawsuits will not materially effect the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

In November 1994, a stockholder, Dillon Investors L.P. filed a lawsuit in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware naming as defendants the Company, its
directors and Craig. On April 13, 1995, the Company, Craig and Dillon Investors
and its affiliates (the "Dillon Parties") entered into settlement agreements to
resolve this litigation. Under the settlement agreements, the Dillon Parties
purchased from Citadel 1,295,000 shares of Class B common stock of Fidelity
owned by the Company in exchange for which the Company received from the Dillon
Parties $2.22 million and 666,000 shares of the Company's common stock and all
existing litigation among the Company, Craig and the Dillon Parties was
terminated. For financial statement purposes the Company reflected the return of
the Company's common stock as treasury stock in the amount of $1,415,000, or
$2.125 per share.

The settlement terms also included an agreement by Craig with the Dillon Parties
not to exercise, prior to February 4, 1996, its right to tender any shares of
the Preferred Stock for conversion into the Company's common stock without the
prior consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock. In exchange for such concession from Craig Corporation,
the Company agreed to grant Craig Corporation a two year warrant to acquire the
666,000 shares of the Company's common stock acquired from the Dillon Parties at
a price of $3.00 per share, and the Company agreed to reimburse Craig
Corporation for certain expenses associated with the litigation which amounted
to $62,000.


NOTE 11 - STOCK OPTIONS
- -----------------------

Pursuant to an employment agreement, the Company granted to the President stock
options to purchase 33,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.69 per share.
As of December 31, 1996, the 33,000 shares were exercisable. Effective October
1996, the Company adopted the Citadel 1996 Nonemployee Director Stock Option
Plan (the "1996 Stock Option Plan") which provides that each director who is not
an employee or officer of the Company will automatically be granted immediately
vested options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
that is greater or less than the fair market value, as defined, per share of
Common Stock on the date of grant by an amount equal to the amount by which
$3.00 per share is greater or less than the fair market value per share of
Common Stock on the effective date of the 1996 Stock Option Plan. At December
31, 1996, vested options to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share are outstanding.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
- ----------------------

As of December 31, 1996, the Company has for income tax purposes net operating
loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards of approximately $2.1 million
and $7.4 million, respectively. These carryforwards will expire in the years
1999 through 2004 and are subject to certain limitations. Since, in view of the
Company's recent history of operating losses, realization of such tax benefits
may be unlikely, a full valuation reserve has been provided.

The tax sharing agreement between Citadel and Fidelity was terminated prior to
the Restructuring. In connection with such termination, Citadel and Fidelity
agreed that certain amounts, estimated to be approximately $3.2 million, that
would have otherwise become payable by Citadel to Fidelity under the terms of
such agreement as a result of losses recognized by Fidelity during the second
quarter of 1994, would not be payable.

At the time of the Restructuring, Citadel and Fidelity entered into a tax
disaffiliation agreement (the "Tax Disaffiliation Agreement"). In general under
the tax disaffiliation Agreement, Fidelity is responsible for (a) all
adjustments to the tax liability of Fidelity and its subsidiaries for the
periods before the Restructuring relating to operations of Fidelity, (b) any tax
liability of Fidelity and its subsidiaries for the taxable year that begins
before and ends after the Restructuring in respect to that part of the taxable
year through the date of the Restructuring, and (c) any tax liability of
Fidelity and its subsidiaries for periods after the Restructuring. For this
purpose any liability for taxes for periods on or before the Restructuring is
measured by Fidelity's actual liability for taxes after applying tax benefits
attributable to periods prior to the closing otherwise available to Fidelity.
With certain exceptions Fidelity is entitled to any refunds relating to those
liabilities. During 1996, the Company and Fidelity reached settlement with
respect to all open tax periods prior to 1991. Subsequent tax years are
currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service.

In general Citadel is responsible for all tax liabilities of Citadel and its
subsidiaries (other than Fidelity and its subsidiaries) for all periods.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of "temporary differences"
between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
During 1996, the Company finalized and filed its tax return for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Based upon these filings the Company has made certain
adjustments to deferred tax assets previously estimated for the year ended
December 31, 1995. The components of the deferred tax liabilities and assets
are as follows:

The above unaudited quarterly financial information reflects all adjustments
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the quarterly periods presented.

Pursuant to the conversion terms of the 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible
Preferred Stock, the number of shares contingently issuable while they were
outstanding was dependent on the preceeding 60 day average market price of the
stock at the date of conversion. Earnings per share for the first, second and
third quarters of 1996 has been retroactively restated to reflect the number of
shares contingently issuable upon the conversions of the Preferred Stock to
Common Stock based upon the values calculated as of December 19, 1996.

Citadel and Steve Wesson entered into an Executive Employment Agreement,

that time, Citadel's officers and directors have entered such agreements. Under
these agreements, Citadel agrees to indemnify its officers and directors against
all expenses, liabilities and losses incurred in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
administrative or investigative, to which any such officer or director is a
party or is threatened to be made a party, in any manner, based upon, arising
from, relating to or by reason of the fact that he is, was, shall be or shall
have been an officer or director, employee, agent or fiduciary of Citadel. Each
of the current Citadel directors have entered into indemnity agreements with
Citadel. Similar agreements also exist between Citadel's subsidiaries and the
officers and directors of such subsidiaries.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

From August 4, 1994 to August 31, 1995, Citadel dissolved the Compensation
Committee and the entire Board of Directors took responsibility for the
compensation decisions. On August 31, 1995, the Compensation Committee was

accordance with Citadel's policy on executive officer compensation, Mr. Wesson
and Mr. Tompkins are not involved in the discussion of, or voting on, their
respective compensation. Mr. Tompkins receives no compensation for his services
as an executive officer, but received director's fees for his service as Vice
Chairman in the amount of $35,000 with respect to 1996.

Other than the Chairman of the Board, directors who are not officers or
employees of the Company receive, for their services as a director, an annual
retainer of $15,000 plus $1,500, if serving as Committee Chairman and $800 for
each meeting attended in person (or $300 in the case of a telephonic meeting).
The Chairman of the Board receives $45,000 annually. During 1996, Messrs.
Villasenor and Simon received $10,000 as additional fees for their participation
as members of the Independent Committee formed by the Company to review the
Reading Investment Transaction.

Additionally, pursuant to the Citadel Holding Corporation 1996 Nonemployee
Director Stock Option Plan effective October 1996 (the "1996 Stock Option
Plan"), each director of the Company who is not an employee or officer (for
purposes of the 1996 Stock Option Plan, the Chairman of the Board and the
Principal Accounting Officer of Citadel are deemed officers of the Company) of
the Company shall, upon becoming a member of the Board of Directors,
automatically be granted immediately vested option to purchase 10,000 shares of

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers,
directors and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock to
file reports to ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. The SEC rules
also require such reporting persons to furnish the Company with a copy of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms which the Company
received and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company
believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, all filing
requirements applicable to its reporting persons were complied with except Mr.
Alfred Villasenor filed one late Form 4 in December 1996 to report the sale of
900 shares of the Company's Common Stock, which transaction occurred in April

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Reading Investment Transaction

In October 1996, Citadel and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citadel
Acquisition Corp., Inc. ("CAC"), closed a transaction with Craig, REI and
Reading Company and certain affiliates thereof. Pursuant to the terms of an
Exchange Agreement, CAC contributed cash in the amount of $7 million to REI in
exchange for (i) 70,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of REI, (ii) the
granting to Citadel of an option, exercisable at any time until 30 days after
REI files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999,
to exchange all or substantially all of its assets for shares of REI Common
Stock, subject to certain contractual limitations and (iii) the granting of
certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to REI Common
Stock received on the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or on such
asset exchange. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of such Exchange Agreement,
REI issued (i) 125,098 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and 563,210 shares
of its common stock to Craig in exchange for Craig's 50% interest in a cinemas
joint venture with a Reading Company affiliate and the 1,329,114 shares of
Citadel Series A 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Citadel Series A Preferred Stock") owned by Craig and (ii)
424,902 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and 1,912,980 shares of its
common stock to a Craig affiliate in exchange for 693,650 shares of stock of
State Bros. Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, REI exchanged the
Citadel Series A Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Citadel Series
B Preferred Stock. The terms of the Citadel Series A Preferred Stock were
substantially identical to the Citadel Series B Preferred Stock except that (i)
the Redemption Accrual Percentage was reduced to 3% from and after the closing
and (ii) except on a change of control of Citadel, the holders of the Citadel
Series B Preferred Stock did not have the right to convert the Citadel Series B
Preferred Stock into Common Stock during the one-year period commencing on the
15th day following the filing of Citadel's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ending December 31, 1996.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Stock

conversion rights with respect to the Citadel Series B Preferred Stock. On
December 20, 1996, Citadel redeemed the Preferred Stock from Reading pursuant to
the exercise of its redemption rights. The redemption price amounted to $6.19
million.
