                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- - - - ---------------------------------------------------


Basis of Presentation and Principle of Consolidation
- - - - ----------------------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Craig Corporation
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company").  In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary for a fair
presentation of its financial position as of December 31, 1994 and September 30,
1994, the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and
1993, and its cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
The results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 1994 and
1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected
for the entire year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes required to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The financial information provided herein,
including the information under the heading, "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," is written with the
presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read, or
have access to, the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which contains the
latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations as of September 30, 1994 and for the year then ended.

Investments in affiliates in which the Company holds a 20 to 50 percent
ownership interest are accounted for using the equity method (Notes 2 and 3).

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Current Marketable Securities
- - - - -----------------------------

Current marketable equity securities are carried at the lower of their aggregate
cost or market value.

Earnings Per Share
- - - - ------------------

Earnings per share is based on 6,024,970 and 6,336,374, the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Common stock equivalents (stock
options) have been excluded from the computations because the effect on such
computation was not significant or was anti-dilutive in the periods reported.

Stater
- - - - ------

Investments in affiliates include the Company's 50% interest (48% voting
interest) in Stater Bros. Holdings Inc. ("SBH" and collectively with its
operating subsidiaries, "Stater").  The remaining 50% interest (52% voting
interest) in Stater is owned by La Cadena Investments ("La Cadena"), a general
partnership consisting of key management executives of Stater.

In 1994, the Company received $14.65 million from SBH pursuant to an agreement
which pertains to an option granted by the Company to Stater, which in turn
provides the means by which the Company's continuing 50% economic interest in
Stater may, in the future, be acquired by Stater, at Stater's option.  The
$14.65 million received is included in the balance sheet as a deferred credit
under the caption "Option to sell investment in affiliate.  The option exercise
price at March 8, 1994 amounted to $60 million, which adjusts upwards at an
annual rate of approximately 8.833%.  The option has an initial term of two
years, but may be extended for ten additional years if Stater converts the
Company's common stock interest in SBH to preferred stock prior to March 8,
1996.  The reciprocal option rights held by the Company and La Cadena
Investments under the existing Shareholder Agreement are suspended for the life
of the option.  The preferred stock, if issued prior to the end of two years,
will have a liquidation preference of approximately $69.4 million and a
cumulative dividend preference beginning at 10.5%, increasing to 12% after 78
months, and further increasing every twelve months thereafter by an additional
1%, to a terminal cumulative dividend rate of 15%.  In the event dividends on
the preferred stock for two or more quarterly dividend periods remain unpaid by
SBH, the Company will have the right to elect a majority of the Board of
Directors.  The Company has the right to have the preferred stock redeemed at
any time following the fifteenth anniversary of the granting of the option.

Effective March 8, 1994, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
SBH pursuant to which the Company has agreed, among other things, to render
consulting services for a five year period, for an annual fee of $1.5 million,
payable quarterly.  Included in service income and other current assets as of
and for the three months ended is $375,000 earned and subsequently paid pursuant
to this agreement.

</TABLE> 

CHC, whose common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange, was, prior to
the restructuring of Fidelity Federal Bank, ("Fidelity"), a savings association
holding company. In a restructuring in August 1994, CHC's equity interest in
Fidelity was reduced to approximately 16%. Currently, CHC's assets consist
principally of its ongoing interest in Fidelity, real estate and cash. At
December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994, the Company owned 667,012 (10%) and
592,712 (9%) shares of the outstanding CHC Common Stock.

The Company's investments in CHC (common and preferred stock) is classified as
noncurrent, since it is not the Company's present intention to dispose of the
investments during the next fiscal year.  The closing price per share of CHC's
common stock on the American Stock Exchange was $2.50 at December 31, 1994.

In October 1994, the Company increased the Company's common stock ownership to
slightly more than 10% through the purchase of 74,200 shares from CHC for
approximately $286,000. In addition, in November 1994 the Company agreed to
acquire in satisfaction of $5.25 million of a $6.2 million outstanding
indebtedness of Citadel to the Company, 1,329,114 shares of a newly issued CHC
3% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The preferred shares represent
approximately 16.6% of the voting power of CHC and together with the common
shares owned by the Company represent approximately 24.9% of the voting power of
CHC as of December 31, 1994. In November 1994, a CHC shareholder filed an action
against the Company, CHC and the directors of the CHC (two of the directors are
also directors of the Company) regarding the issuance of these shares (note 6).

At September 30, 1994, the Company's 9% common stock investment in CHC was
accounted for at the lower of cost or market value.  Unrealized losses on such
securities are reflected as an investment valuation reserve in a separate
shareholders' account, except for market declines considered to be other than
temporary.  At September 30, 1994, the carrying value, as adjusted for market
declines considered to be other than temporary, of CHC common stock amounted to
$1.556 million or $2.625 per share.  As described above the Company increased

                                       10

its ownership and voting control in CHC to 24.9% through the purchase of common
stock (an additional 1% common equity ownership) and preferred stock
(representing 16.6% of the vote). Based on the increase in voting ownership in
November 1994, the investment in CHC common stock meets the criteria for using
the equity method of accounting at December 31, 1994. As a result of the
Company's previous writedowns of the CHC common stock investment below CHC book
value, considered to be other than temporary, no retroactive adjustment to the
investment, results of operations or retained earnings was required.

The Preferred stock was issued to the Company pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement and Certificate of Designation which provides, among other things,
that (i) the preferred shares carry a liquidation preference equal to their
stated value and bear a cumulative (noncompounded) annual dividend equal to 3%
of the stated value, (ii) are convertible under certain circumstances into
shares of common stock of CHC, (iii) are redeemable at the option of CHC at any
time after November 1997 and (iv) are redeemable (subject to Delaware
limitations upon distributions to shareholders) at the option of the Company in
the event of a change of control of CHC.  For financial statement purposes the
Company  carries its preferred stock investment at cost amounting to $5.25
million as of December 31, 1994.


NOTE 4 - TAXES ON INCOME
- - - - ------------------------


The Company adopted SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective October
1, 1992, without restating prior years financial statements.  There was no
cumulative effect on prior years from this change in accounting principle.

Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  At
December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1993, the deferred tax liability components
consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 5 - COMMON AND CLASS A COMMON PREFERENCE STOCK
- - - - ---------------------------------------------------

In December 1994, the Board of Directors provided authorization to the Company
to repurchase up to $3 million of the Company's outstanding Common and/or Class
A Common Preference stock.  In February 1995, the Company repurchased 58,000

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- - - - --------------------------------------

On November 7, 1994 an action was filed (as amended on November 14, 1994)
against the Company, CHC and the Directors of CHC in the Delaware Court of
Chancery.  The Plaintiff claims that the individual defendants, directors of
CHC, in the face of a purported proxy fight, breached their fiduciary duties by
causing CHC to issue shares of common stock and preferred stock to the Company
for purposes of perpetuating the individual defendants as directors of CHC.  Two
of the directors of CHC are also directors of the Company.  The Company is
alleged to knowingly have participated in the purported breaches of fiduciary
duty by the director defendants.  The complaint contains no specific claim for
monetary damages but does request rescission of the issuance of the shares.

Stater
- - - - ------

   On March 8, 1994 the Company and Stater consummated a series of restructuring
transactions.  Concurrently with the closing of the restructuring transactions,
Stater obtained $165 million in new debt, the proceeds of which were primarily
used to retire certain outstanding indebtedness together with a prepayment
premium, pay a dividend to the holders of SBH Common Stock, and to acquire an
Option from the Company to purchase the Common Stock of SBH held by the Company.
This borrowing had the effect of increasing Stater's outstanding indebtedness
from approximately $97.7 million at December 1993 to $173.9 million  at December
31, 1994.  Accordingly, Stater interest expense increased in the 1994 Quarter to
$5.073 million from $2.518 million in the 1993 Quarter.  SBH reported net income
of $1.553 for the 1994 Quarter as compared to $3.791 million for the 1993
Quarter.

   Stater sales amounted to $390.6 million for the 1994 Quarter, an increase of
2.1% when compared to $382.7 million for the 1993 Quarter.  Sales from like
stores increased .18% for the 1994 Quarter, compared to the same period in 1993.
Stater operated 111 stores at December 25, 1994 and 109 stores at December 26,
1993.  Stater's gross profits for the 1994 Quarter amounted to $86.7 million or
22.2% of sales compared to $83.2 million or 21.7% of sales in the 1993 Quarter.
The increase in gross profits was due to increased efficiencies in Stater's
warehousing and transportation departments and the introduction of higher gross
margin categories, such as prepackaged gourmet vegetables and fresh cut flowers.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million in the
1994 Quarter to $76.0 million or 19.45% of sales as compared to $72.1 million or
18.85% of sales in the 1993 Quarter.  The increase in the 1994 Quarter is
attributable to various factors, including 1) the elimination of a non-recurring
reduction in union benefits amounting to $3.8 million included in the 1993
Quarter and 2) the increase of operating expenses from two additional
supermarkets that were opened since the 1993 Quarter.

   Stater's operating cash flow (defined as operating profit plus depreciation
and amortization) was approximately $10.3 million in the 1994 Quarter as
compared to approximately $11.0 million for the 1993 Quarter.

   Stater's net income results in the 1993 Quarter includes a credit of
approximately $372,000 resulting from Stater's adoption of the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".

Reading
- - - - -------

   On August 17, 1994, Reading acquired Theater Acquisitions of Puerto Rico,
Inc. ("TAPR") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $22.7 million.
TAPR operates motion picture exhibition theaters in six leased locations with a
total of 36 screens in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico currently under the
Wometco Theaters name.

   For the 1994 Quarter, Reading incurred a net loss of approximately $289,000
(the Company's share amounting to approximately $136,000), as compared to a net
loss of $74,000 in the 1993 Quarter (the Company's share amounting to $35,000).
Cash flow (defined as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization)
increased approximately $200,000 in the 1994 Quarter as compared to the 1993
Quarter.  Cash flow approximated $125,000 in the 1994 Quarter as compared to a

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
negative cash flow of $74,000 in the 1993 Quarter.  General and administrative
expenses were consistent between the 1993 and 1994 Quarters.

   Reading's significant increase in revenue in the 1994 Quarter reflects
inclusion of the operating results of TAPR which the Reading acquired in 1994.
TAPR recorded revenues in the 1994 Quarter of $3.2 million and theater cash flow
(theater revenues less direct theater expenses before depreciation,
amortization, general administrative expense of approximately $592,000.

   At December 31, 1994, Reading has significant liquidity including $44.9
million of cash and available for sale securities.  In addition, Reading has no
debt outstanding.  Reading intends to continue to expand its theater exhibition
business.  Reading, together with the Company, is currently reviewing the
possibility of making a joint bid to acquire a major European theater exhibition
circuit, MGM Cinemas, currently held for sale by Credit Lyonnais.

Citadel
- - - - -------

   At September 30, 1994, the Company reported its common stock investment in
CHC at $2.625 per share or $1.556 million. In October 1994 the Company increased
the Company's common stock ownership in CHC to slightly more than 10% through
the purchase from CHC of 74,200 common shares for approximately $286,000. In
addition, in November 1994, the Company agreed to acquire in satisfaction of
$5.25 million of a $6.2 million outstanding indebtedness of Citadel to the
Company, 1,329,114 shares of a newly issued CHC 3% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock. The preferred shares represent approximately 16.6% of the
voting power of CHC and together with the common shares owned by the Company
represent approximately 24.9% of the voting power of CHC as of December 31,
1994. Included in other long-term investments at December 31, 1994 is the
Company's common stock investment in CHC amounting to $1.842 million.

   The preferred stock was issued to the Company pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement and Certificate of Designation which provides, among other things,
that (i) the preferred shares carry a liquidation preference equal to their
stated value and bear a cumulative (noncompounded) annual dividend equal to 3%
of the stated value, (ii) are convertible under certain circumstances into
shares of common stock of Citadel, (iii) are redeemable at the option of CHC at
any time after November 1997 and (iv) are redeemable (subject to Delaware
limitations upon distributions to shareholders) at the option of the Company in
the event of a change of control of CHC.  For financial statement purposes the
Company  carries its preferred stock investment at cost amounting to $5.25
million as of December 31, 1994.

Operating, general and administrative expenses
- - - - ----------------------------------------------

   Operating, general and administrative expenses of the Company increased from
$679,000 in the 1993 Quarter to $730,000 in the 1994 Quarter.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees and wages.

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
Interest income and expense
- - - - ---------------------------

   Interest and dividend income increased in the 1994 Quarter to $408,000 as
compared to $91,000 in the 1993 Quarter. In the 1994 Quarter interest income was
earned on the Company's cash investments in institutional money market mutual
funds as well as, for a portion of the 1994 Quarter, a $6.2 million loan
accruing interest at prime plus 3% to Citadel. As described above, the Company
agreed to acquire preferred stock in satisfaction of payment of $5.25 million of
the Company's outstanding receivable due from Citadel in November 1994.

   Interest expense was eliminated in the 1994 Quarter as a result of the
expiration  of the Company's credit agreement upon the repayment of $14 million
in debt obligations in March 1994.

Liquidity
- - - - ---------

    At December 31, 1994 the Company has significant liquidity and no debt
outstanding.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $20.5 million.
The Company is currently reviewing along with its 47% affiliate, Reading, a
number of potential opportunities to redeploy its assets into one or more
operating companies.  In addition, the Board of Directors in December 1994
provided authorization to the management of the Company to spend up to $3
million to purchase from time to time shares of the Company's Common and/or
Class A Common Preference Stock.  In connection with this authorization, the
Company repurchased 58,000 shares of Common Stock in February 1995 at a purchase
price of approximately $525,000.
