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

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

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

   On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired, through its interest in three
general partnerships (the "Partnerships"), a 40% interest in approximately 1,580
acres of agricultural land and related improvements, located in Kern County,
California, commonly known as the Big 4 Ranch (the "Property").  The other two
partners in the Partnerships are Visalia LLC ("Visalia," a limited liability
company controlled by Mr. James J. Cotter, the Chairman of the Board of the
Company, and owned by Mr. Cotter and certain members of his family), which has a
20% interest and Big 4 Ranch, Inc., a publicly held corporation, which has the
remaining 40% interest.  Immediately prior to the Acquisition, the Company
capitalized Big 4 Ranch, Inc. with a cash capital contribution of $1,200,000 and
then distributed 100% of the share of Big 4 Ranch, Inc., to the shareholders of
record of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on December 23,
1997, as a spin-off dividend.  The Company accounts for its 40% investment in
the Partnership utilizing the equity method of accounting.

     In October 1996, the Company contributed cash in the amount of $7,000,000
to Reading Entertainment, Inc. ("REI" and collectively with its consolidated
affiliates, "Reading") in exchange for 70,000 shares of Reading Series A Voting
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "REI 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"). The Company
accounts for its investment in Reading at cost.

     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 June 30, 1998
and December 31, 1997 and the results of operations and its cash flows for the
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.  The results of operations for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 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 the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended.

lease approximately 56% of the available Phoenix, Arizona property. The
amendment provided for a five year extension of the existing lease to February
2004 at escalating rents beginning in March 1999. At the time of the lease
amendment, the Company paid a commission of approximately $431,000, which amount
has been capitalized as of June 30, 1998 in the Balance Sheet as "Capitalized

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN SHAREHOLDER AFFILIATE
- --------------------------------------------

     At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company owned 70,000 shares of
REI Preferred Stock and the Asset Put Option. The REI Preferred Stock has (i) a
liquidation preference of $100 per share or $7,000,000 ("Stated Value"), (ii)
bears a cumulative dividend of 6.5%, payable quarterly, and (iii) is convertible
into shares of REI Common Stock at a conversion price of $11.50 per share. The
closing price of REI stock on June 30, 1998 was approximately $12.75 per share.
REI, 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), or in the event of change of control of REI to require REI to
repurchase the REI Series A Preferred Stock for its aggregate Stated Value plus
accumulated dividends. In addition, if REI fails to pay dividends for four
quarters, the Company has the option to require REI to repurchase such shares at
their aggregate liquidation value plus accumulated dividends.

    The Asset Put Option is exercisable any time 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
$20,000,000 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 $12.25 per share.  If the appraised value of the Company's
assets is in excess of $20,000,000, Reading is obligated to pay for the excess
by issuing Common Stock at the then fair market value up to a maximum of
$30,000,000 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 Company accounts for its investment in REI at cost.  Included in the
Statements of Operations for both the three months and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 is "Dividends from Investment in Reading" of
approximately $114,000 and $228,000, respectively.

     As of June 30, 1998, the Company and Craig Corporation ("Craig"), a

NOTE 4 -  EQUITY INVESTMENT AND NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM AGRICULTURAL PARTNERSHIPS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       As described in Note 1, the Company acquired a 40% equity interest in the
Agricultural Partnerships.  Also, on December 31, 1997, the Agricultural
Partnerships acquired the Big 4 Properties. The assets acquired included (i)
approximately 560 acres of Navel oranges, 205 acres of Valencia oranges, 145
acres of lemons, 32 acres of mineolas and 600 acres of open land currently
leased on a short term basis to a third party for the cultivation of annual
crops (the "Open Land"), (ii) irrigation systems, (iii) water rights, (iv) frost
prevention systems and (v) the fruit currently on the trees and slated for
harvest in 1998. The Big 4 Properties were acquired by the Partnerships (the
"Ranch Acquisition") from Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential")
on an arms length basis for a purchase price of $6,750,000, plus reimbursement
of certain cultural costs approximating $831,000.


     The Ranch Acquisition was financed by prorata capital contributions of the
partners (Citadel's 40% portion amounting to approximately $1,080,000), by a
$4,050,000 purchase money loan from Prudential, and by an initial crop finance
loan by Citadel to the Agricultural Partnerships of approximately $831,000. The
loan by Citadel was advanced pursuant to a $1,200,000 Line of Credit Agreement
(the "Crop Financing") extended by the Company to the Agricultural Partnerships.
Drawdowns under the Crop Financing accrue interest at prime plus 200 basis
points, payable quarterly, and are due and payable in August 1998. Included in
the Statement of Operations as "Earnings (loss) from investment in and advance
to Agriculture Partnerships" is interest income earned pursuant to the loan of
$24,000 and $44,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively. At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Citadel had advanced
approximately $458,000 and $831,000, respectively, under the Crop Financing Line
of Credit. For financial statement purposes, the note receivable is included in
the Balance Sheet as Note Receivable from Agriculture Partnerships, inclusive of
the 40% advanced upon Citadel's behalf amounting to $183,000 and $332,000 as of
June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Crop Financing expired on
August 1, 1998 at which time $458,000 was outstanding. Citadel is finalizing the
renewal of such Crop Financing under the same terms and conditions for an
additional twelve month period.


     Prior to the spin-off, Big 4 Farming LLC ("Farming", owned 80% by the
Company and 20% by Visalia) entered into a two-year farming services agreement
(the "Farming Contract") with each of the Partnerships, pursuant to which it
provides farm operation services for an initial term of two years.  The Visalia
minority interest ownership of Farming is included in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at June 30, 1998 as "Minority Interest" in the amount of $41,000.
Visalia's portion of Farming's net earnings for the six months ended June 30,
1998 amounting to $11,000 is included in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations as "Minority Interest."

     In consideration of the services provided under the Farming Contract,
Farming is to be paid an amount equal to 100% of its costs plus a profit factor
equal to 5% of the gross agricultural receipts from the Big 4 Properties,
calculated after the costs of picking, packing and hauling.  Farming has entered
into a contract with Cecelia Packing Corporation ("Ceceila") for certain
management consulting, purchasing and bookkeeping services for an initial terms
of two years at a fee of $6,000 per month plus reimbursement of certain out-of-
pocket expenses.  Cecelia will also pack a portion of the fruit produced by the
Agricultural Partnerships.  At June 30, 1998, the net earnings of Farming were
approximately $63,000.


     The Prudential Purchase Money Loan in the amount of $4,050,000 is secured
by, among other things, a first priority mortgage lien on the property, has a
ten-year maturity and accrues interest, payable quarterly, at a fixed rate of
7.7%.  In order to defer principal payments until January 1, 2002, the

Partnerships must make capital improvements to the real property totaling
$500,000 by December 31, 2000 and an additional 200,000 by December 31, 2001.
If the required capital expenditures are not made, then the Partnerships will be
required to make a mandatory prepayment of principal on January 31, 2001 equal
to difference between $200,000 and the amount of capital improvements made
through December 31, 2000.  The purchase money mortgage also imposes a
prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (a) one-half of one percent of each
prepayment of principal and (b) a present value calculation of the anticipated
loss that the note holder will suffer as a result of such prepayment. As of June
30, 1998, the Agriculture Partnerships had made capital expenditures of 
approximately $120,000 consisting primarily of improvements to irrigation 
systems.


     Combined summarized financial information of the three Agricultural
Partnerships as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 follows:

CITADEL HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1998


NOTE 5 - TAXES ON INCOME
- ------------------------

     The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 amounted to approximately $130,000 and $45,000, respectively, representing
a provision for estimated federal alternative minimum tax and state taxes.

NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK
- ---------------------

     On April 11, 1997, Craig exercised its warrant to purchase 666,000 shares
of the Company's treasury common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share
of $1,998,000.  Such exercise was consummated pursuant to delivery by Craig of
its secured promissory note (the "Craig Secured Note") in the amount of
$1,998,000, secured by 500,000 shares of REI Common Stock owned by Craig.  The
Craig Secured Note in the amount of $1,998,000 is included in the Balance Sheet
as a contra equity account under the caption "Note Receivable from shareholders"
at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.  Interest is payable quarterly in
arrears at the prime rate computed on a 360 day-year.  Principal and accrued but
unpaid interest is due upon the earlier of April 11, 2002 and 120 days following
the Company's written demand for payment.  Interest income from the Craig
secured Note amounted to approximately $44,000 and $87,000 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and amounted to $37,000 for both the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997.  The Craig Secured Note may be prepaid, in whole or
in part, at any time by Craig without penalty or premium.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following is a comparison of the results of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 ("1998 Quarter") with the three months ended June 30,
1997 ("1997 Quarter") and a comparison of the result of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 ("1998 Six Months") with the six months ended June
30, 1997 ("1997 Six Months").  Due to the nature of the Company's business
activities, revenues and earnings have and will vary significantly reflecting
the results of real estate sales, the acquisition of the Reading Entertainment,
Inc. ("REI") Preferred Stock and the December 1997 acquisition of the
Agriculture Partnerships.  Accordingly, period to period comparisons of
operating results will not necessarily be indicative of future financial
results.

     The Company's net earnings for the 1998 Quarter amounted to $192,000 or
$0.03 per basic share as compared to the net income of $413,000 or $0.06 per
basic share for the 1997 Quarter.  Net earnings for the 1998 Six Months
approximated $563,000 or $0.08 per basic share as compared to $659,000 or $.010
per basic share for the 1997 Six Months.  The decrease in net earnings in the
1998 periods as compared to the 1997 periods is generally attributed to
increased rental, consulting and management fee income, offset by equity losses
from the Agricultural Partnerships and increased general and administrative
expenses as described below.

     Rental income amounted to $1,348,000 and $2,714,000 for the 1998 Quarter
and 1998 Six Months as compared to $1,271,000 for the 1997 Quarter and
$2,395,000 for the 1997 Six Months, respectively.  Real estate operating
expenses increased to $581,000 in the 1998 Quarter as compared to $506,000 in
the 1997 Quarter and increased to $1,100,000 in the 1998 Six Months as compared
to $1,005,000 in the 1997 Six Months reflecting slightly higher operating costs.
As of June 30, 1998 and 1997, rental properties consisted of two office
buildings located in Glendale, California and Phoenix, Arizona.  The Glendale
property is leased to Disney Enterprises, Inc., and Fidelity Federal Bank, and
American Express leases approximately 56% of the Phoenix Building.  The increase
in rental revenue of $76,000 between the 1998 Quarter and 1997 Quarter and the
increase of $319,000 between the 1998 and 1997 Six Months is generally
attributable to the increased rental rates which commenced in the 1997 period.
Accordingly, the 1998 Six Months includes the impact of such increased rental
rates for the entire period. The Disney lease commenced in February 1997 and the
increase rental from the two year extension of the American Express lease at
increased rates commenced in March 1997.  Rental income from these leases
amounted to approximately $922,000 (68%) and $943,000 (74%) for the 1998 and
1997 Quarters, respectively, and amounted to approximately $1,995,000 (74%) and
$1,631,000 (68%) for the 1998 and 1997 Six Months, respectively.  In May 1998,
the Company negotiated a five-year extension until March 2004 of the American
Express lease at escalating rental rates beginning in 1999 which lease was
previously due to expire in March 1999. In connection with the lease extension,
the Company paid a lease commission of $431,000, which amount has been
capitalized and is being amortized on the straight line method over the five-
year term of the lease.

     Consulting income from shareholder amounted to $100,000 and $200,000 in the
1998 Quarter and 1998 Six Months as compared to $78,000 and $120,000 in the 1997
Quarter and the 1997 Six Months, respectively.  The Company provides a
substantial portion of its executives time providing real estate consulting
services to Reading in connection with the development by Reading of multiplex
cinemas. The increase in the 1998 periods reflects the additional costs charged
by Citadel for such increased services.

                                      -13-

     On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired, through its interest in three
general partnerships (the "Agricultural Partnerships"), a 40% interest in
approximately 1,580 acres of agricultural land and related improvements, located
in Kern County, California, commonly known as the Big 4 Ranch (the "Property").
The other two partners in the Partnerships are Visalia LLC (a limited liability
company controlled by Mr. James J. Cotter, the Chairman of the Board of the
Company, and owned by Mr. Cotter and certain members of his family), which has a
20% interest, and Big 4 Ranch, Inc., a publicly held corporation, which has the
remaining 40% interest.  The Company accounts for its 40% investment in the
Agricultural Partnerships utilizing the equity method of accounting.  As the
acquisition did not occur until December 31, 1997, there was no impact in the
results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997.

     The assets acquired included (i) approximately 560 acres of Navel oranges,
205 acres of Valencia oranges, 145 acres of lemons, 32 acres of mineolas and 600
acres of open land currently leased on a short term basis to a third party for
the cultivation of annual crops (the "Open Land"), (ii) irrigation systems,
(iii) water rights, (iv) frost prevention systems and (v) the fruit currently on
the trees and slated for harvest in 1998. The Big 4 Properties were acquired by
the Partnerships (the "Ranch Acquisition") from Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("Prudential") on an arms length basis for a purchase price of
$6,750,000, plus reimbursement of certain cultural costs approximating $831,000.


     The Ranch Acquisition was financed by prorata capital contributions of the
partners (Citadel's 40% portion amounting to approximately $1,080,000), by a
$4,050,000 purchase money loan from Prudential, and by an initial crop finance
loan by Citadel to the Agricultural Partnerships of approximately $831,000. The
loan by Citadel was advanced pursuant to a $1,200,000 Line of Credit Agreement
(the "Crop Financing") extended by the Company to the Agricultural Partnerships.
Drawdowns under the Crop Financing accrue interest at prime plus 200 basis
points, payable quarterly, and were due and payable on August 1, 1998.  The
Company is finalizing the extension of this loan with the Partnerships under the
same terms and conditions for an additional twelve month period. At June 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, Citadel had advanced approximately $458,000 and
$831,000, respectively, under the Crop Financing Line of Credit. For financial
statement purposes, the note receivable is included in the Balance Sheet as Note
Receivable from Agriculture Partnerships, inclusive of the 40% or $183,000 and
$332,000 as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, advanced upon
Citadel's behalf.


     The operations of the Agriculture Partnerships are impacted by the general
seasonal trends that are characteristic of the citrus industries.  The
Agriculture Partnerships recognizes a majority of their crop sales during the
second and to some extent the third calendar quarters following the harvest and
sale of these citrus crops.  Due to this concentrated activity, the Agriculture
Partnership expects net losses in the first and fourth calendar quarters.
Included in the Statement of Operations as "Earnings (loss) from investment in
and advances to Agriculture Partnerships" is a loss of $107,000 representing the
Company's 40% equity share of the Agriculture Partnerships operating results for
the six months ended June 30, 1998, net of $44,000 of interest income received
pursuant to loans made to the Agriculture Partnerships. The Agriculture
Partnerships reported a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 of $89,000 and $377,000, respectively, the Company's share for these
respective periods amounting to losses of approximately $36,000 and $151,000.

     The Company provides farm operation services to the Agricultural 
Partnerships for which Big 4 Farming LLC (80% owned by the Company) is paid an
amount equal to 5% of the agricultural receipts calculated after the costs of
picking, packing and hauling. Such farming management fee amounted to $97,000
and $101,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, representing 
$75,000 and $53,000 to the Company after costs and minority interests.

     Interest income (reflected in the Statement of Operations as "Interest
income" and "Interest income from shareholders") was comparable between the 1998
and 1997 periods and amounted to $99,000 in the 1998 Quarter and $116,000 in the
1997 Quarter and amounted to $194,000 in the 1998 Six Months and $210,000 in the
1997 Six Months.  Included in the Statements of Operations in each of the 

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
 
1998 and 1997 Quarters and each of the 1998 and 1997 Six Months is dividend
income, amounting to approximately $114,000 and $228,000 respectively, from the
Company's investment in REI Preferred Stock. The REI Series A Preferred Stock is
convertible at any time into shares of REI Common Stock at a conversion price of
$11.50 per share. The closing market price of REI Common Stock at June 30, 1998
was $12.75 per share. REI reported net loss applicable to common shareholders of
approximately $1,268,000 and $2,702,000 for the 1998 Quarter and 1998 Six Months
as compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of approximately
$522,000 and $173,000 in the 1997 Quarter and the 1997 Six Months, respectively.

     General and administrative expenses increased in the 1998 Quarter and
amounted to $569,000 as compared to $300,000 in the 1997 Quarter.  General and
administrative expenses amounted to $854,000 in the 1998 Six Months as compared
to $539,000 in the 1997 Six Months.  The increase in general and administrative
expenses is primarily a result of second quarter bonuses paid to the Chairman
and Vice Chairman amounting to $250,000 and an increase in overhead costs
associated with providing farm management services to the Agricultural
Partnerships, offset by a reduction in legal expenses.

     Interest expense remained constant in the 1998 periods as compared to the
1997 periods amounting to $246,000 in the 1998 Quarter and $249,000 in the 1997
Quarter and amounting to $495,000 in the 1998 Six Months as compared to $512,000
in the 1997 Six Months, respectively.  Two mortgage loans were outstanding for
both the 1998 and 1997 periods.  The terms of the mortgage loans provide for an
adjustable rate of interest, which rate amounted to 10.156% at June 30, 1998.

BUSINESS PLAN, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $258,000 from $4,364,000
at December 31, 1997 to $4,622,000 at June 30, 1998.  Net cash used in investing
activities amounted to $318,000 in the 1998 Six Months and includes leasehold
improvements made to rental properties amounting to $178,000 and the purchase of
farm equipment of $140,000 by Big 4 Farming, LLC, which was purchased in order
to provide services to the Agriculture Partnerships pursuant to the Farming
Contract described in Footnote 4 to the financial statements included elsewhere
herein.  Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $112,000 in the 1998
Six Months and resulted from (i) additional borrowings by the Agriculture
Partnerships of approximately $242,000, offset by $615,000 of agricultural loan
repayments, (ii) the amortization of long-term mortgage loans of $82,000 and
(iii) commissions amounting to approximately $431,000 paid at the time of the
extension of the American Express lease described above.

     Cash and cash equivalents increased in the 1997 Six Months to approximately
$449,000 to $6,805,000 at June 30, 1997.  Net cash provided by investing
activities amounted to $783,000 in the 1997 Six Months and was comprised of
approximately $1,128,000 provided from the sale of a rental property, offset by
$345,000 used to make leasehold improvements to real estate  properties.  Net
cash used in financing activities amounted to $830,000 in the 1997 Six Months
and resulted from the repayment of long-term mortgage loans, inclusive of the
mortgage on the property sold in January 1997.

     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 two real estate properties, (iii) consulting fee income from Reading,
(iv) a preferred stock dividend, payable quarterly, from REI amounting to
approximately $455,000, annually and (v) refinancing proceeds. The Company does
not expect to have cash flow from its investment in the Agriculture Partnerships
in the near future.

     In the short term, uses of funds are expected to include (i) funding of the
Glendale Building 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
leasehold and tenant improvements of approximately $2,200,000, (ii) operating
expenses, and (iii) debt service pursuant to the property mortgages. As part of
the Big 4 Ranch, Inc., spin off, the Company agreed to provide a $200,000 line
of credit to that company. To date, no loans have been requested with respect to
this commitment. In addition, the Company provided an agricultural line of
credit to the Agriculture Partnerships of $1,200,000. The line of credit expired
on August 1, 1998 and the Company is finalizing the extension of such loans
under the same terms and conditions for an additional twelve month period. As of
August 1, 1998, $458,000 was outstanding under the line of credit. Once the
extension of the line of credit is finalized, the Company expects over the terms
of the facility to receive additional requests for borrowings of up to the total
$1,200,000 credit line.

     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
acquisition of the Reading Preferred Stock and the Asset Put Option, 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
