     This Amendment No. 11 amends and supplements Amendment No. 10 of the
Schedule 13D, as previously amended (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), filed
by Craig Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Craig"), relating to beneficial
holdings of shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of
Reading Company, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Reading").

     ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
              ----------------------

     Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

     As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D, the Boards
of Directors of Craig and Reading on May 23, 1996 authorized and directed their
respective managements to work together to develop one or more proposals for the
consolidation of the assets of these two companies, and potentially of Citadel
Holding Corporation ("Citadel"), into a single business unit to provide Reading
with the capital funding needed to pursue its Beyond-the-Home Entertainment
business plan.

     On August 8, 1996, the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of
Citadel and the Board of Directors of Citadel, and on August 12, 1996, the
Independent Committees of the Boards of Directors of Reading and Craig and the
Boards of Directors of Reading and Craig, approved a transaction, subject in
each case to execution of definitive agreements and other conditions, pursuant
to which Citadel will contribute cash in the amount of $7.0 million and Craig
and its wholly owned subsidiary Craig Management, Inc. ("CMI") will contribute
assets, valued for purposes of this transaction at $81.0 million, to a newly
formed Delaware holding company, Reading Entertainment, Inc. ("Reading
Entertainment") in exchange for shares of Reading Entertainment's Series A and
Series B Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock (the
"Stock Transaction").  Upon consummation of the Stock Transaction, Craig, CMI
and Citadel will in the aggregate hold in excess of 80% of the voting power of
Reading Entertainment.  Craig will hold Reading Entertainment Common Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock representing approximately 77.4% of the voting power of
Reading Entertainment.  For a summary description of the terms of the Stock
Transaction, see the Letter of Intent dated August 12, 1996, among Reading,
Craig and Citadel, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Letter of Intent").

     The Stock Transaction contemplates that, immediately prior to its
consummation, a newly formed subsidiary of Reading Entertain-ment will merge
with and into Reading in a transaction in which stockholders of Reading on the
record date will be entitled to receive one share of Reading Entertainment
Common Stock for each share of Reading Class A Common Stock or Reading Common
Stock (other than shares of Common Stock as to which dissenters' rights are
perfected) held on that date (the "Reorganization Transaction").  The
Reorganization

Transaction, which among other things will result in a change of the state of
incorporation of the public company from Pennsylvania to Delaware, was also
approved by the Reading Board of Directors. The Stock Transaction and the
Reorganization Transaction are collectively referred to herein as the
"Transactions." It is contemplated that neither the Stock Transaction nor the
Reorganization Transaction will result in any taxable gain or loss to the public
stockholders of Craig, Citadel or Reading.

     The Transactions are subject to, among other things, the approval of the
stockholders of Reading.  However, Craig, which owns shares of Reading Class A
Common Stock representing approximately 52.5% of the outstanding voting shares
of Reading, has agreed to vote such shares in favor of the Transactions.
Accordingly, no approval of other Reading stockholders is required.  No vote of
the stockholders of Citadel or Craig is required to effectuate the Transactions.

     The terms of the Stock Transaction were negotiated by special committees
(the "Independent Committees") of the Boards of Citadel, Craig and Reading, each
of which was composed entirely of indepen-dent outside directors, having no
affiliation with or duties to any of the other constituent parties.  Each of
these Independent Committees was represented by counsel and by an investment
advisor of the committee's choosing.  The Independent Committees began
negotiating on or about July 18, 1996, with each ultimately making a separate
recommendation to its Board of Directors to approve the Transactions as
described in the Letter of Intent.  Prior to their decision to recommend
approval of the Stock Transaction, and prior to Board approval, the Independent
Committees and the Boards of Directors of each of Citadel, Craig and Reading
were advised by their respective investment advisors that the Stock Transaction
was fair to Citadel, Craig, and Reading, as the case may be, from a financial
point of view.

     The principal purposes of the Stock Transaction, from the point of view of
Craig, CMI and Reading, are (a) to provide Reading with additional capital
funding with which to pursue its Beyond-the-Home Entertainment business plan;
(b) to consolidate the cinema exhibition activities of Craig and Reading into a
single easily explained and well capitalized company; and (c) to provide to
Citadel a transaction pursuant to which it can make an initial investment in the
Beyond-the-Home segment of the entertainment industry, review the implementation
by Reading Entertainment of its Beyond-the-Home Entertainment business plan and,
if it approves of the progress made by Reading Entertainment, to make a further
investment in that business through the exercise of its asset put right to
exchange up to $30,000,000 of its assets for Reading Entertainment Common Stock,
as described in the Letter of Intent.

     Reading is currently involved in conventional multiplex cinema exhibition
in Puerto Rico through its Cine Vista Cinemas chain, is scheduled to close in
the immediate future the acquisition of the Angelika Film Center in New York
City (a specialty art multiplex cinema and cafe complex with 1995 gross revenues
of approximately $7.4 million), and is working with Craig, through Reading
International Cinemas LLC, to develop a new chain of multiplex cinemas in
Australia.  Reading intends to expand the Angelika Film Center concept to other
cities, and is currently reviewing a number of potential locations suitable for
such complexes.

     The principal purposes of the Reorganization Transaction are (a) to permit
Reading to reincorporate in Delaware to take advantage of what its management
believes to be a more extensive and better developed body of statutory and case
law and a body of law which, generally speaking, may be more familiar to most
investors and lenders than the law of Pennsylvania and (b) possibly to permit
Reading Entertainment to raise capital and make acquisitions without subjecting
such capital and businesses to many of the contingent liabilities of Reading's
historic railroad businesses.  Also, as a consequence of the Reorganization
Transaction, Reading's capital structure will be simplified in that Reading
Entertainment will only have one class of common stock outstanding, whereas
Reading currently has Class A Common Stock and Common Stock outstanding, and the
transfer restrictions on the Reading Class A Common Stock, which are currently
scheduled to expire January 1, 1997, will be extended with respect to Reading
Entertainment Common Stock to January 1, 2003, thereby enhancing Reading
Entertainment's ability to continue to utilize its net operating loss
carryovers.

     From the point of view of Craig, the Transactions will also (a) reduce the
potential for conflicts between Craig's interests as the largest stockholder in
Reading and its interests as a joint venturer with Reading in enterprises such
as Reading International Cinemas LLC, and (b) complete the transition of Craig
from a company primarily engaged -- prior to the restructuring of its interest
in Stater Bros. Holdings Inc. -- in the retail grocery business, to a company
primarily engaged, through its voting equity interest in Reading, in the Beyond-
the-Home Entertainment Business.

constitutes a statement of intentions only and is subject to the preparation,
execution and delivery of definitive documentation by each of Reading, Reading
Entertainment, Citadel, CAC, Craig and CMI, and, in the case of Reading, to the
approval of its stockholders and to the delivery of fairness and legal opinions
to the respective parties.

     1.2  Reading Entertainment Securities to be Issued:  Series A Voting
          ---------------------------------------------                  
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, with the following terms:

Stated Value:         $7 million, $100 per share.
- ------------

- ----------------                      

                      .  No conversion for 18 months, unless there is a public
                         disclosure or announcement of a transaction that would
                         result in a third party (other than a Craig affiliate)
                         owning 50% or more of common stock or voting rights of
                         Reading or other change in control of Reading.

                         thereafter beginning in year 5) only if Craig assumes
                         Citadel's asset put obligation described below and (ii)
                         call all other Series A preferred shares (at the
                         redemption premium specified in clause (i) above.
