PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Entertainment Properties Trust (“we,” “us,” “EPR” or the “Company”) was formed on August 22, 1997 as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and an initial public offering of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) was completed on November 18, 1997. EPR develops, owns, leases and finances properties for consumer preferred high-quality businesses. As further explained under “Growth Strategies” below, our investments are guided by a focus on inflection opportunities that offer enduring values, excellent executions, attractive economics and an advantageous market position.
We are a self-administered REIT. As of December 31, 2007, our real estate portfolio was comprised of approximately $1.9 billion in assets (before accumulated depreciation) and includes 79 megaplex theatre properties (including four joint venture properties) located in 26 states and Ontario, Canada, one additional theatre property under development, eight entertainment retail centers (including two joint venture properties) located in Westminster, Colorado, New Rochelle, New York, White Plains, New York, Burbank, California and Ontario, Canada, one additional entertainment retail center under development and land parcels leased to restaurant and retail operators or available for development adjacent to several of our theatre properties. We also own a metropolitan ski area located in Bellefontaine, Ohio, six wineries and six vineyards located in California and a 50% interest in a joint venture which owns 12 public charter schools located in seven states and the District of Columbia.
As of December 31, 2007, our real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of 6.6 million square feet and was 100% occupied, and our remaining real estate portfolio consisted of 2.5 million square feet and was 98% occupied. The combined real estate portfolio consisted of 9.1 million square feet and was 99% occupied. Our theatre properties are leased to ten different leading theatre operators. At December 31, 2007, approximately 51% of our megaplex theatre properties were leased to American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”), a subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMCE”).
As further described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2007, our real estate mortgage loan portfolio consisted of eight notes receivable with a carrying value of $325.4 million, including related accrued interest. The largest individual loan is denominated in Canadian dollars and had a carrying value of US $103.7 million at December 31, 2007, including accrued interest receivable. This mortgage note bears interest at 15%, and has been provided to a partnership for the purpose of developing a 13 level entertainment retail center in downtown Toronto in Ontario, Canada. It is anticipated that the development of this center will be completed in 2008 at a total cost of approximately $315 million Canadian, and will contain approximately 360,000 square feet of net rentable area (excluding signage). We also have an option to purchase a 50% equity interest in this project. Our real estate mortgage loan portfolio at December 31, 2007 also includes a note receivable for the development of a water-park anchored entertainment village located in Kansas with a carrying value of $95.7 million, including accrued interest, and five notes receivable with a combined total carrying value of $122.5 million, including accrued interest, secured by ten metropolitan ski areas and related development land covering approximately 6,063 acres located in New Hampshire, Vermont, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Our total investments were $2.3 billion at December 31, 2007. Total investments as defined herein include the sum of the carrying values of rental properties (before accumulated depreciation), property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), investment in joint ventures, intangible assets (before accumulated amortization), notes receivable and less minority interests. Below is a reconciliation of the carrying value of total investments to the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

Total investments
  $ 2,252,450  
 
     
Of our total investments of $2.3 billion at December 31, 2007, $1.9 billion or 85% related to megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and other retail parcels, and $344.9 million or 15% related to recreational and specialty properties. Furthermore, of the $344.9 million related to recreational and specialty properties, $135.1 million related to metropolitan ski areas, $67.1 million related to vineyards and wineries, $95.7 million related to the water-park anchored entertainment village, $43.5 million related to public charter schools and $3.5 million related to an amphitheatre.
As further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the year ended December 31, 2007, $48.5 million, or approximately 21% of our total revenue was derived from our four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada and the mortgage note receivable secured by property in Canada described above. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail centers, third party debt and mortgage note receivable represent approximately $233.3 million or 23% of the Company’s net assets as of December 31, 2007.
We aggregate the financial information of all our investments into one reportable segment because our investments have similar economic characteristics and because we do not internally report and we are not internally organized by investment or transaction type. For a discussion of material property acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2007, see Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments.”
We believe destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational and specialty properties are important sectors of the real estate industry and that, as a result of our focus on properties in these sectors and the industry relationships of our management, we have a competitive advantage in providing capital to operators of these types of properties. Our principal business objective is

5


Table of Contents

to be the nation’s leading destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreation and specialty real estate company by continuing to develop, acquire or finance high-quality properties. Our investments are generally structured as long-term triple-net leases that require the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of the property, or as long-term mortgages with economics similar to our triple-net lease structure.
Megaplex Theatres
A significant portion of our assets consist of megaplex theatres. Megaplex theatres typically have at least 10 screens with stadium-style seating (seating with elevation between rows to provide unobstructed viewing) and are equipped with amenities that significantly enhance the audio and visual experience of the patron. We believe the development of new generation megaplex theatres, including the introduction of digital cinema, has accelerated the obsolescence of many of the previous generation of multiplex movie theatres by setting new standards for moviegoers, who, in our experience, have demonstrated their preference for the more attractive surroundings, wider variety of films, enhanced quality of visual presentation and superior customer service typical of megaplex theatres.
We expect the development of megaplex theatres to continue in the United States and abroad for the foreseeable future. With the development of the stadium style megaplex theatre as the preeminent format for cinema exhibition, the older generation of smaller flat-floor theatres has generally experienced a significant downturn in attendance and performance. As a result of the significant capital commitment involved in building megaplex theatres and the experience and industry relationships of our management, we believe we will continue to have opportunities to provide capital to businesses that seek to develop and operate these properties, but would prefer to lease rather than own the properties. We believe our ability to finance these properties will enable us to continue to grow our asset base (See Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of capital requirements necessary for the Company’s continued growth).
Entertainment Retail Centers
We continue to seek opportunities for the development of additional restaurant, retail and other entertainment venues around our existing portfolio and our properties under development. The opportunity to capitalize on the traffic generation of our market-dominant theatres to create entertainment retail centers (“ERC’s”) not only strengthens the execution of the megaplex movie theatre but adds diversity to our tenant and asset base. We have and will continue to evaluate our existing portfolio and construction projects for additional development of retail and entertainment density, and we will also continue to evaluate the purchase or financing of existing ERC’s that have demonstrated strong financial performance and meet our quality standards. The leasing and property management requirements of our ERC’s are generally met through the use of third-party professional service providers.
Recreational and Specialty Properties
The venue replacement cycle in theatrical exhibition represents what we consider an inflection opportunity, a demand for new capital stimulated by a need to upgrade to new technologies and related amenities. We expect other destination retail, recreational and specialty properties to undergo similar transformations stimulated by growth, renewal and/or restructuring. We have begun and expect to continue to pursue acquiring, developing and financing new generations of

6


Table of Contents

attractive and successful properties in selected niche markets. We believe our ability to invest in these properties will enable us to continue to grow and diversify our asset base.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objective is to continue to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing Funds From Operations (“FFO”) per Share (See Item 7 — “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Funds From Operations” for a discussion of FFO), through the acquisition, development and financing of high-quality properties. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to execute the Growth Strategies, Operating Strategies and Capitalization Strategies described below:
Growth Strategies
As a part of our growth strategy, we will consider developing or acquiring additional megaplex theatre properties, and developing or acquiring single-tenant entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational or specialty properties. We will also consider developing or acquiring additional ERC’s. We may also pursue opportunities to provide mortgage financing for these same property types in certain situations where this structure is more advantageous than owning the underlying real estate.
Our investing strategy centers on certain guiding principles:
Inflection Opportunity
We look for a new generation of facilities emerging as a result of age, technology, or change in the lifestyle of consumers which create development, renewal or restructuring opportunities requiring significant capital.
Enduring Value
We look for real estate that supports activities that are commercially successful and have a reasonable basis for continued and sustainable customer demand in the future. Further, we seek circumstances where the magnitude of change in the new generation of facilities adds substantially to the customer experience.
Excellent Execution
We seek attractive locations and best-of-class executions that create market-dominant properties which we believe create a competitive advantage and enhance sustainable customer demand within the category despite a potential change in tenant. We minimize the potential for turnover by seeking quality tenants with a reliable track record of customer service and satisfaction.
Attractive Economics
We seek investments that provide accretive returns initially and increasing returns over time with rent escalators and percentage rent features that allow participation in the financial performance of the property. Further, we are interested in investments that provide a depth of opportunity to invest sufficient capital to be meaningful to our total financial results and also provide a diversity by market, geography or tenant operator.
Advantageous Position
In combination with the preceding principles, when investing we look for a competitive advantage such as unique knowledge of the category, access to industry information, a preferred tenant relationship, or other relationships that provide access to sites and development projects.

Operating Strategies
Lease Risk Minimization
To avoid initial lease-up risks and produce a predictable income stream, we typically acquire single-tenant properties that are leased under long-term leases. We believe our willingness to make long-term investments in properties offers our tenants financial flexibility and allows tenants to allocate capital to their core businesses. Although we will continue to emphasize single-tenant properties, we have acquired and may continue to acquire multi-tenant properties we believe add value to our shareholders.
Lease Structure
We have structured our property acquisitions and leasing arrangements to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals paid by our tenants. We typically structure leases on a triple-net basis under which the tenants bear the principal portion of the financial and operational responsibility for the properties. During each lease term and any renewal periods, the leases typically provide for periodic increases in rent and/or percentage rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level. In our multi-tenant property leases and some of our theatre leases, we generally require the tenant to pay a common area maintenance (“CAM”) charge to defray its pro rata share of insurance, taxes and maintenance costs.
Mortgage Structure
We have structured our mortgages to achieve economics similar to our triple-net lease structure with a positive spread between our cost of capital and the interest paid by our tenants. During each mortgage term and any renewal periods, the notes typically provide for periodic increases in interest and/or percentage rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level.
Tenant and Customer Relationships
We intend to continue developing and maintaining long-term working relationships with theatre, restaurant, retail, entertainment, recreation and specialty business operators and developers by providing capital for multiple properties on an international, national or regional basis, thereby creating efficiency and value for both the operators and the Company.
Portfolio Diversification
We will endeavor to further diversify our asset base by property type, geographic location and tenant or customer. In pursuing this diversification strategy, we will target theatre, restaurant, retail, recreation and specialty business operators that we view as leaders in their market segments and have the ability to compete effectively and perform under their agreements with the Company.
Development
We intend to continue developing properties that meet our guiding principles. We generally do not begin development of a single tenant property without a signed lease providing for rental payments during the development period that are commensurate with our level of capital investment. In the case of a multi-tenant development, we generally require a significant amount of the development to be pre-leased prior to construction to minimize lease-up risk. In addition, to minimize overhead costs and to provide the greatest amount of flexibility, we generally outsource construction management to third party firms.

Capitalization Strategies
Debt and Equity Financing
We fund the acquisition of properties and mortgage notes receivable with a combination of debt, preferred equity and common equity. We expect to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio (i.e., long-term debt of the Company as a percentage of shareholders’ equity plus total liabilities) of between 50% and 55%. However, the timing and size of our equity offerings may cause us to temporarily operate outside of this range.
See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments” for debt and equity transactions during 2007.
Joint Ventures
We will examine and may pursue potential additional joint venture opportunities with institutional investors or developers if the investments to which they relate meet our guiding principles discussed above. We may employ higher leverage in joint ventures.
Payment of Regular Distributions
We have paid and expect to continue to pay quarterly dividend distributions to our common and preferred shareholders. Our Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series B preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 7.75%, our Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series C preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 5.75%, and our Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series D preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 7.375%. Among the factors the Company’s board of trustees (“Board of Trustees”) considers in setting the common share distribution rate are the applicable REIT tax rules and regulations that apply to distributions, the Company’s results of operations, including FFO per share, and the Company’s Cash Available for Distribution (defined as net cash flow available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service, and other obligations). We expect to periodically increase distributions on our common shares as FFO and Cash Available for Distribution increase and as other considerations and factors warrant.
As described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on May 29, 2007, we completed the redemption of all 2.3 million of our outstanding 9.50% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series A preferred shares”).
Competition
We compete for real estate financing opportunities with other companies that invest in real estate, as well as traditional financial sources such as banks and insurance companies. REITs have financed and may continue to seek to finance destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational or specialty properties as new properties are developed or become available for acquisition.
Employees
As of December 31, 2007, we had 16 full time employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are many risks and uncertainties that can affect our current or future business, operating results, financial performance or share price. Here is a brief description of some of the important factors which could adversely affect our current or future business, operating results, financial condition or share price. This discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements. See “Forward Looking Statements.”
Risks That May Impact Our Financial Condition or Performance
We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from our tenants, who may not be able to pay
Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space at our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because a substantial majority of our income comes from leasing real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to our shareholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or if we are not able to maintain our levels of occupancy on favorable terms. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and might incur substantial legal costs.
If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, that could diminish or eliminate the income we expect from that tenant’s leases. We may not be able to evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. On the other hand, a bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to terminate its leases with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under the leases. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent would likely not be paid in full and we would also have to take a charge against earnings for any accrued straight-line rent receivable related to the leases.
We could be adversely affected by a mortgagor’s bankruptcy or default
If a mortgagor becomes bankrupt or insolvent or defaults under its mortgage, that could force us to declare a default and foreclose on the underlying property. There is a risk that the fair value of

10


Table of Contents

the property will be less than the carrying value of the note and accrued interest receivable at the time of the foreclosure and we may have to take a charge against earnings. We may experience costs and delays in recovering a property in foreclosure or finding a substitute operator for the property. If the mortgage we hold is subordinated to senior financing secured by the property, our recovery would be limited to any amount remaining after satisfaction of all amounts due to the holder of the senior financing. We have agreed to subordinate our Canadian mortgage financing to bank construction financing obtained by the borrower.
Our theatre tenants may be adversely affected by the obsolescence of any older multiplex theatres they own or by any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets
The development of megaplex movie theatres has rendered many older multiplex theatres obsolete. To the extent our tenants own a substantial number of multiplexes, they have been, or may in the future be, required to take significant charges against their earnings resulting from the impairment of these assets. Megaplex theatre operators have also been and could in the future be adversely affected by any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets and the cost of financing, building and leasing megaplex theatres.
Operating risks in the entertainment industry may affect the ability of our tenants to perform under their leases
The ability of our tenants to operate successfully in the entertainment industry and remain current on their lease obligations depends on a number of factors, including the availability and popularity of motion pictures, the performance of those pictures in tenants’ markets, the allocation of popular pictures to tenants and the terms on which the pictures are licensed. Neither we nor our tenants control the operations of motion picture distributors. Megaplex theatres represent a greater capital investment, and generate higher rents, than the previous generation of multiplex theatres. For this reason, the ability of our tenants to operate profitably and perform under their leases could be dependent on their ability to generate higher revenues per screen than multiplex theatres typically produce. The success of “out-of-home” entertainment venues such as megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and recreational properties also depends on general economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to spend time and money on out-of-home entertainment.
Real estate is a competitive business 
Our business operates in highly competitive environments. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rent or interest charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
A single tenant represents a substantial portion of our lease revenues
Approximately 51% of our megaplex theatre properties are leased to AMC, one of the nation’s largest movie exhibition companies. AMCE has guaranteed AMC’s performance under substantially all of their leases. We have diversified and expect to continue to diversify our real estate portfolio by entering into lease transactions with a number of other leading operators. Nevertheless, our revenues and our continuing ability to pay shareholder dividends are currently substantially dependent on AMC’s performance under its leases and AMCE’s performance under its guarantee.

11


Table of Contents

We believe AMC occupies a strong position in the industry and we intend to continue acquiring and leasing back or developing new AMC theatres. However, if for any reason AMC failed to perform under its lease obligations and AMCE did not perform under its guarantee, we could be required to reduce or suspend our shareholder dividends and may not have sufficient funds to support operations until substitute tenants are obtained. If that happened, we cannot predict when or whether we could obtain substitute quality tenants on acceptable terms.
A single tenant leases or is the mortgagor of all our investments related to metropolitan ski areas
Peak Resorts, Inc. (“Peak”) is the lessee of our metropolitan ski area in Bellefontaine, Ohio and is the mortgagor on five notes receivable secured by ten metropolitan ski areas and related development land. If Peak failed to perform under its lease and mortgage loan obligations, we may need to reduce our shareholder dividends and may not have sufficient funds to support operations until substitute operators are obtained. If that happened, we cannot predict when or whether we could obtain quality substitute tenants or mortgagors on acceptable terms.
There are risks inherent in having indebtedness and the use of such indebtedness to fund acquisitions
We currently utilize debt to fund portions of our operations and acquisitions. In a rising interest rate environment, the cost of our variable rate debt and any new debt or other market rate security or instrument may increase. We have used leverage to acquire properties and expect to continue to do so in the future. Although the use of leverage is common in the real estate industry, our use of debt to acquire properties does expose us to some risks. If a significant number of our tenants fail to make their lease payments and we don’t have sufficient cash to pay principal and interest on the debt, we could default on our debt obligations. A substantial amount of our debt financing is secured by mortgages on our properties. If we fail to meet our mortgage payments, the lenders could declare a default and foreclose on those properties. In addition, if the tenants of properties in the borrowing bases of our unsecured revolving credit facility or term loan default on their lease or mortgage obligations, or if the properties otherwise fail to qualify for inclusion in the borrowing bases, that could limit the amounts we are able to borrow under the credit facility and the term loan.
A portion of our secured debt has a “hyper-amortization” provision which may require us to refinance the debt or sell the properties securing the debt prior to maturity
As of December 31, 2007, we had $91.1 million outstanding under a single secured mortgage loan agreement that contains a “hyper-amortization” feature, in which the principal payment schedule is rapidly accelerated, and our principal payments are substantially increased, if we fail to pay the balance on the anticipated prepayment date of July 11, 2008. We undertook this debt on the assumption that we will be able to refinance the debt prior to these hyper-amortization payments becoming due. If we cannot obtain acceptable refinancing at the appropriate time, the hyper-amortization payments will require substantially all of the revenues from those properties securing the debt to be applied to the debt repayment, which could reduce our common share dividend rate and could adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.
We have grown rapidly through acquisitions and other investments.  We may not be able to maintain this rapid growth and our failure to do so could adversely affect our stock price
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years.  We may not be able to maintain a similar rate of growth in the future or manage our growth effectively.  Our failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

Table of Contents

We must obtain new financing in order to grow
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable net income to shareholders in the form of dividends. This means we are limited in our ability to use internal capital to acquire properties and must continually raise new capital in order to continue to grow and diversify our investment portfolio. Our ability to raise new capital depends in part on factors beyond our control, including conditions in equity and credit markets, conditions in the industries in which our tenants are engaged and the performance of real estate investment trusts generally. We continually consider and evaluate a variety of potential transactions to raise additional capital, but we cannot assure that attractive alternatives will always be available to us, nor that our share price will increase or remain at a level that will permit us to continue to raise equity capital publicly or privately.
Covenants in our debt instruments could adversely affect our financial condition and our acquisitions and development activities
The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our unsecured revolving credit facility, our term loan and other loans that we may obtain in the future contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt based upon the level of our ratio of total debt to total assets, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, and fixed charges, and that require us to maintain a certain level of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our ability to borrow under our credit facilities and our term loan is also subject to compliance with certain other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms. Additionally, our ability to satisfy current or prospective lenders’ insurance requirements may be adversely affected if lenders generally insist upon greater insurance coverage against acts of terrorism than is available to us in the marketplace or on commercially reasonable terms.   We rely on debt financing, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our term loan and debt secured by individual properties, to finance our acquisition and development activities and for working capital. If we are unable to obtain debt financing from these or other sources, or to refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. If we breach covenants in our debt agreements, the lenders can declare a default and, if the debt is secured, can take possession of the property securing the defaulted loan.
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies and this may create risks
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies when we believe that an acquisition or development is consistent with our business strategies.  We may not, however, succeed in consummating desired acquisitions or in completing developments on time. In addition, we may face competition in pursuing acquisition or development opportunities that could increase our costs.  Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert management’s attention. Acquisitions or developments in new markets or industries where we do not have the same level of market knowledge may expose us to unanticipated risks in those markets and industries to which we are unable to effectively respond and, as a result, our performance in those new markets and industries and overall may be

13


Table of Contents

worse than anticipated. We may also abandon acquisition or development opportunities that we have begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already incurred and have devoted management time to a matter not consummated. Furthermore, our acquisitions of new properties or companies will expose us to the liabilities of those properties or companies, some of which we may not be aware at the time of acquisition. In addition, development of our existing properties presents similar risks.
Our real estate investments are concentrated in entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties and a significant portion of those investments are in megaplex theatre properties, making us more vulnerable economically than if our investments were more diversified
We acquire, develop or finance entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties. A significant portion of our investments are in megaplex theatre properties. Although we are subject to the general risks inherent in concentrating investments in real estate, the risks resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of investing primarily in entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties. These risks are further heightened by the fact that a significant portion of our investments are in megaplex theatre properties. Although a downturn in the real estate industry could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties, a downturn in the entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational industries could compound this adverse affect. These adverse effects could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments to a greater degree outside of entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties or, more particularly, outside of megaplex theater properties.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for payment of dividends to our shareholders
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will be taxed as a corporation. We are organized and believe we qualify as a REIT, and intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we cannot assure you that we will remain qualified in the future. This is because qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code on which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and depends on facts and circumstances not entirely within our control. In addition, future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the tax laws, the application of the tax laws to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of that qualification.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT we will face tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for payment of dividends:
    We would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates
 
    We could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes
 
    Unless we are entitled to relief under statutory provisions, we could not elect to be treated as a REIT for four taxable years following the year in which we were disqualified
 
    We could be subject to tax penalties and interest

14


Table of Contents

In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to pay dividends. As a result of these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect the market price for our shares.
We depend on dividends and distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries. The creditors of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us
Substantially all of our assets are held through our subsidiaries.  We depend on these subsidiaries for substantially all of our cash flow.  The creditors of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary’s obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to its equity holders.  Thus, our ability to make distributions to holders of our common and preferred shares depends on our subsidiaries’ ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to us. 
Our development financing arrangements expose us to funding and purchase risks
Our ability to meet our construction financing obligations which we have undertaken or may enter into in the future depends on our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the required amounts. There is no assurance we can obtain this financing or that the financing rates available will ensure a spread between our cost of capital and the rent or interest payable to us under the related leases or mortgage notes receivable (See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity Requirements”).
We have a limited number of employees and loss of personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares
We had 16 full-time employees as of December 31, 2007 and, therefore, the impact we may feel from the loss of an employee may be greater than the impact such a loss would have on a larger organization. We are dependent on the efforts of the following individuals: David M. Brain, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Gregory K. Silvers, our Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary; Mark A. Peterson, our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Michael L. Hirons, our Vice President — Finance. While we believe that we could find replacements for our personnel, the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares.
Risks That Apply to our Real Estate Business
Real estate income and the value of real estate investments fluctuate due to various factors
The value of real estate fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may also limit our revenues and available cash.
 
The factors that affect the value of our real estate include, among other things:
    international, national, regional and local economic conditions;
 
    consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the United States;
 
    our ability to secure adequate insurance;
 
    local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;
 
    competition from other available space;
 
    whether tenants and users such as customers of our tenants consider a property attractive;

15


Table of Contents

    the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults;
 
    whether we are able to pass some or all of any increased operating costs through to tenants;
 
    how well we manage our properties;
 
    fluctuations in interest rates;
 
    changes in real estate taxes and other expenses;
 
    changes in market rental rates;
 
    the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals;
 
    changes in taxation or zoning laws;
 
    government regulation;
 
    our failure to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust;
 
    availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all;
 
    potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations; and general competitive factors.
The rents and interest we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of these factors. If our revenues decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available to pay our indebtedness and distribute to our shareholders. In addition, some of our unreimbursed costs of owning real estate may not decline when the related rents decline.
There are risks associated with owning and leasing real estate
Although our lease terms obligate the tenants to bear substantially all of the costs of operating the properties, investing in real estate involves a number of risks, including:
    The risk that tenants will not perform under their leases, reducing our income from the leases or requiring us to assume the cost of performing obligations (such as taxes, insurance and maintenance) that are the tenant’s responsibility under the lease
 
    The risk that changes in economic conditions or real estate markets may adversely affect the value of our properties
 
    The risk that local conditions could adversely affect the value of our properties
 
    We may not always be able to lease properties at favorable rates
 
    We may not always be able to sell a property when we desire to do so at a favorable price
 
    Changes in tax, zoning or other laws could make properties less attractive or less profitable
If a tenant fails to perform on its lease covenants, that would not excuse us from meeting any debt obligation secured by the property and could require us to fund reserves in favor of our lenders, thereby reducing funds available for payment of dividends. We cannot be assured that tenants will elect to renew their leases when the terms expire. If a tenant does not renew its lease or if a tenant defaults on its lease obligations, there is no assurance we could obtain a substitute tenant on acceptable terms. If we cannot obtain another quality tenant, we may be required to modify the property for a different use, which may involve a significant capital expenditure and a delay in re-leasing the property.
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance
Our leases require the tenants to carry comprehensive liability, casualty, workers’ compensation,

16


Table of Contents

extended coverage and rental loss insurance on our properties. We believe the required coverage is of the type, and amount, customarily obtained by an owner of similar properties. We believe all of our properties are adequately insured. However, there are some types of losses, such as catastrophic acts of nature, for which we or our tenants cannot obtain insurance at an acceptable cost. If there is an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insurance limits, we could lose both the revenues generated by the affected property and the capital we have invested in the property. We would, however, remain obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Since September 11, 2001, the cost of insurance protection against terrorist acts has risen dramatically. There can be no assurance our tenants will be able to obtain terrorism insurance coverage, or that any coverage they do obtain will adequately protect our properties against loss from terrorist attack.
Joint ventures may limit flexibility with jointly owned investments
We may continue to acquire or develop properties in joint ventures with third parties when those transactions appear desirable. We would not own the entire interest in any property acquired by a joint venture. Major decisions regarding a joint venture property may require the consent of our partner. If we have a dispute with a joint venture partner, we may feel it necessary or become obligated to acquire the partner’s interest in the venture. However, we cannot ensure that the price we would have to pay or the timing of the acquisition would be favorable to us. If we own less than a 50% interest in any joint venture, or if the venture is jointly controlled, the assets and financial results of the joint venture may not be reportable by us on a consolidated basis. To the extent we have commitments to, or on behalf of, or are dependent on, any such “off-balance sheet” arrangements, or if those arrangements or their properties or leases are subject to material contingencies, our liquidity, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected by those commitments or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Our multi-tenant properties expose us to additional risks
Our entertainment retail centers in Westminster, Colorado, New Rochelle, New York, White Plains, New York, Burbank, California and Ontario, Canada, and similar properties we may seek to acquire or develop in the future, involve risks not typically encountered in the purchase and lease-back of megaplex theatres which are operated by a single tenant. The ownership or development of multi-tenant retail centers could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of suitable tenants may not be found to enable the center to operate profitably and provide a return to us. Retail centers are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuations in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating results. Multi-tenant retail centers also expose us to the risk of potential “CAM slippage,” which may occur when CAM fees paid by tenants are exceeded by the actual cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance at the property.
Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws could result in substantial costs
Our theatres must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA requires that public accommodations reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations be made to commercial facilities to conform to accessibility guidelines. Failure to comply with the ADA can result in injunctions, fines, damage awards to private parties and additional capital expenditures to remedy noncompliance. Our leases require the tenants to comply with the ADA.
Our properties are also subject to various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will involve significant unanticipated expenditures. Although these expenditures

17


Table of Contents

would be the responsibility of our tenants, if tenants fail to perform these obligations, we may be required to do so.
Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, we may be required to investigate and clean up any release of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our properties, regardless of our knowledge or actual responsibility, simply because of our current or past ownership of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. This is so because:
    As owner we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination
 
    The law may impose clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination
 
    Even if more than one person is responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs
 
    Governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs
These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. The presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or lease an affected property. In addition, some environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Most of our loan agreements require the Company or a subsidiary to indemnify the lender against environmental liabilities. Our leases require the tenants to operate the properties in compliance with environmental laws and to indemnify us against environmental liability arising from the operation of the properties. We believe all of our properties are in material compliance with environmental laws. However, we could be subject to strict liability under environmental laws because we own the properties. There is also a risk that tenants may not satisfy their environmental compliance and indemnification obligations under the leases. Any of these events could substantially increase our cost of operations, require us to fund environmental indemnities in favor of our lenders, limit the amount we could borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan, and reduce our ability to service our debt and pay dividends to shareholders.
Real estate investments are relatively non-liquid
We may desire to sell a property in the future because of changes in market conditions, poor tenant performance or default of any mortgage we hold, or to avail ourselves of other opportunities. We may also be required to sell a property in the future to meet debt obligations or avoid a default. Specialty real estate projects such as megaplex theatres cannot always be sold quickly, and we cannot assure you that we could always obtain a favorable price. We may be required to invest in the restoration or modification of a property before we can sell it.
There are risks in owning assets outside the United States
Our properties in Canada and the property securing our Canadian mortgage financing are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations. The rentals under our Canadian leases, the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing and the payments to be received on our Canadian mortgage receivable are payable or collectible (as applicable) in Canadian dollars,

18


Table of Contents

which could expose us to losses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates to the extent we have not hedged our position. Canadian real estate and tax laws are complex and subject to change, and we cannot assure you we will always be in compliance with those laws or that compliance will not expose us to additional expense. We may also be subject to fluctuations in Canadian real estate values or markets or the Canadian economy as a whole, which may adversely affect our Canadian investments.
There are risks in owning or financing properties for which the tenant’s or mortgagor’s operations may be impacted by weather conditions
We have acquired and financed metropolitan ski areas as well as vineyards and wineries, and may continue to do so in the future. The operators of these properties, our tenants or mortgagors, are dependent upon the operations of the properties to pay their rents and service their loans.
The ski area operator’s ability to attract visitors is influenced by weather conditions and the amount of snowfall during the ski season. Adverse weather conditions may discourage visitors from participating in outdoor activities. In addition, unseasonably warm weather may result in inadequate natural snowfall, which increases the cost of snowmaking, and could render snowmaking wholly or partially ineffective in maintaining quality skiing conditions. Excessive natural snowfall may materially increase the costs incurred for grooming trails and may also make it difficult for visitors to obtain access to the ski resorts. Prolonged periods of adverse weather conditions, or the occurrence of such conditions during peak visitation periods, could have a material adverse effect on the operator’s financial results and could impair the ability of the operator to make rental payments or service our loans.
The ability to grow quality wine grapes and a sufficient quantity of wine grapes is influenced by weather conditions. Droughts, fronts and other weather conditions or phenomena, such as “El Nino,” may adversely affect the timing, quality or quantity of wine grape harvests, and this can have a material adverse effect on the operating results of our vineyard and winery operators. In these circumstances, the ability of our tenants to make rental payments or service our loans could be impaired.
Wineries and vineyards are subject to a number of risks associated with the agricultural industry
Winemaking and wine grape growing are subject to a variety of agricultural risks. In addition to weather, various diseases, pests, fungi and viruses can affect the quality and quantity of wine grapes and negatively impact the profitability of our tenants. Furthermore, wine grape growing requires adequate water supplies. The water needs of our properties are generally supplied through wells and reservoirs located on the properties. Although we believe that there are adequate water supplies to meet the needs of all of our properties, a substantial reduction in water supplies could result in material losses of wine crops and vines. If our tenants suffer a downturn in their business due to any of the factors described above, they may be unable to make their lease or loan payments, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Risks That May Affect the Market Price of our Shares
We cannot assure you we will continue paying dividends at historical rates
Our ability to continue paying dividends on our common shares at historical rates, to pay dividends on our preferred shares at their stated rates or to increase our common share dividend rate will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition and results of future operations, the performance of lease and mortgage terms by our tenants and customers, our ability

19


Table of Contents

to acquire, finance and lease additional properties at attractive rates, and provisions in our loan covenants. If we do not maintain or increase our common share dividend rate, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and possibly our preferred shares.
Market interest rates may have an effect on the value of our shares
One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell our common shares or preferred shares is our dividend rate as a percentage of our share price, relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates increase, prospective investors may desire a higher dividend on our common shares or seek securities paying higher dividends or interest.
Market prices for our shares may be affected by perceptions about the financial health or share value of our tenants and mortgagors or the performance of REIT stocks generally
To the extent any of our tenants or customers, or their competition, report losses or slower earnings growth, take charges against earnings or enter bankruptcy proceedings, the market price for our shares could be adversely affected. The market price for our shares could also be affected by any weakness in the performance of REIT stocks generally or weakness in any of the sectors in which our tenants and customers operate.
Limits on changes in control may discourage takeover attempts which may be beneficial to our shareholders
There are a number of provisions in our Declaration of Trust, Maryland law and agreements we have with others which could make it more difficult for a party to make a tender offer for our shares or complete a takeover of the Company which is not approved by our Board of Trustees. These include:
    A staggered Board of Trustees that can be increased in number without shareholder approval
 
    A limit on beneficial ownership of our shares, which acts as a defense against a hostile takeover or acquisition of a significant or controlling interest, in addition to preserving our REIT status
 
    The ability of the Board of Trustees to issue preferred or common shares, to reclassify preferred or common shares, and to increase the amount of our authorized preferred or common shares, without shareholder approval
 
    Limits on the ability of shareholders to remove trustees without cause
 
    Requirements for advance notice of shareholder proposals at annual shareholder meetings
 
    Provisions of Maryland law restricting business combinations and control share acquisitions not approved by the Board of Trustees
 
    Provisions of Maryland law protecting corporations (and by extension REITs) against unsolicited takeovers by limiting the duties of the trustees in unsolicited takeover situations
 
    Provisions in Maryland law providing that the trustees are not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny than that applied to any other director under Maryland law in transactions relating to the acquisition or potential acquisition of control
 
    Provisions of Maryland law creating a statutory presumption that an act of the trustees satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for trustees under Maryland law
 
    Provisions in loan or joint venture agreements putting the Company in default upon a change in control

20


Table of Contents

    Provisions of employment agreements with our officers calling for share purchase loan forgiveness (under certain conditions), severance compensation and vesting of equity compensation upon a change in control
Any or all of these provisions could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if the change was in our shareholders’ interest or offered a greater return to our shareholders.
We may change our policies without obtaining the approval of our shareholders
Our operating and financial policies, including our policies with respect to acquiring or financing real estate or other companies, growth, operations, indebtedness, capitalization and dividends, are exclusively determined by our Board of Trustees. Accordingly, our shareholders do not control these policies.
Dilution could affect the value of our shares
Our future growth will depend in part on our ability to raise additional capital. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, the interests of holders of our common shares could be diluted. Likewise, our Board of Trustees is authorized to cause us to issue preferred shares in one or more series, the holders of which would be entitled to dividends and voting and other rights as our Board of Trustees determines, and which could be senior to or convertible into our common shares. Accordingly, an issuance by us of preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares. As of December 31, 2007, our Series C preferred shares are convertible, at each of the holder’s option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3523 common shares per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $70.96 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events). Depending upon the number of Series C preferred shares being converted at one time, a conversion of Series C preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have an impact on the value of our shares
The functional currency for our Canadian operations and mortgage note receivable is the Canadian dollar. As a result, our future earnings could be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars, which in turn could affect our share price. We have attempted to mitigate our exposure to Canadian currency exchange risk by having both our Canadian lease rentals and the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing payable in the same currency. We have also entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge in part our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency derivatives are subject to future risk of loss. We do not engage in purchasing foreign exchange contracts for speculative purposes.
Tax reform could adversely affect the value of our shares
There have been a number of proposals in Congress for major revision of the federal income tax laws, including proposals to adopt a flat tax or replace the income tax system with a national sales tax or value-added tax. Any of these proposals, if enacted, could change the federal income tax laws applicable to REITS, subject us to federal tax or reduce or eliminate the current deduction for dividends paid to our shareholders, any of which could negatively affect the market for our shares.

We declared quarterly distributions to common shareholders aggregating $3.04 per common share in 2007 and $2.75 per common share in 2006.
While we intend to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, debt covenants and other factors the Board of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends may be affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties and mortgage notes, our operating expenses, debt service on our borrowings, the ability of tenants and customers to meet their obligations to us and any unanticipated capital expenditures. Our Series B preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 7.75%, our Series C preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 5.75% and our Series D preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 7.375%.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company did not sell any unregistered securities.
On February 25, 2008, there were approximately 542 holders of record of our outstanding common shares.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Forward Looking Statements.” Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Our principal business objective is to be the nation’s leading destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreation and specialty real estate company by continuing to develop, acquire or finance high-quality properties. As of December 31, 2007, our total assets exceeded $2.1 billion, and included investments in 79 megaplex theatre properties (including four joint venture properties) and various restaurant, retail, entertainment, destination recreational and specialty properties located in 26 states and Ontario, Canada. As of December 31, 2007, we had invested approximately $23.0 million in development land and construction in progress for real-estate development and approximately $325.4 million (including accrued interest) in mortgage financing for entertainment and recreational properties. Also, as of December 31, 2007, we had invested approximately $39.5 million in a 50% ownership interest of a joint venture which owns 12 public charter schools.
Substantially all of our single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple-net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of a property, including, but not limited to, all real estate taxes, assessments and other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance. A majority of our revenues are derived from rents received or accrued under long-term, triple-net leases. Tenants at our multi-tenant properties are required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro rata portion of these costs.
We incur general and administrative expenses including compensation expense for our executive officers and other employees, professional fees and various expenses incurred in the process of identifying, evaluating, acquiring and financing additional properties and mortgage notes. We are self-administered and managed by our Trustees and executive officers. Our primary non-cash expense is the depreciation of our properties. We depreciate buildings and improvements on our properties over a three-year to 40-year period for tax purposes and financial reporting purposes.
Our property acquisitions and financing commitments are financed by cash from operations, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and our term loan, long-term mortgage debt and the sale of equity securities. It has been our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals paid by our tenants. We have primarily acquired or developed new properties that are pre-leased to a single tenant or multi-tenant properties that have a high occupancy rate. We do not typically develop or acquire properties on a speculative basis or that are not significantly pre-leased. As of December 31, 2007, we have also entered into four joint ventures formed to own and lease single properties and

33


Table of Contents

one joint venture formed to own and lease multiple properties, and have provided mortgage note financing as described above. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future.
Our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms, and managing our portfolio as we have continued to grow. Because of the knowledge and industry relationships of our management, we have enjoyed favorable opportunities to acquire, finance and lease properties. We believe those opportunities will continue during 2008.
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to consolidation, revenue recognition, depreciable lives of the real estate, the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions and estimating reserves for uncollectible receivables and mortgage notes receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation
We consolidate certain entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined in FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN46R). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN46R, or do not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. Base rent escalation in other leases is dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and accordingly, management does not include any future base rent escalation amounts on these leases in current revenue. Most of our leases provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. These percentage rents are recognized once the required sales level is achieved. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.
Real Estate Useful Lives
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for the purpose of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Table of Contents

     
Buildings
   40 years
Tenant improvements
  Base term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
   3 to 25 years
Impairment of Real Estate Values
We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our rental properties. These estimates of impairment may have a direct impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We assess the carrying value of our rental properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable. Certain factors that may occur and indicate that impairments may exist include, but are not limited to: underperformance relative to projected future operating results, tenant difficulties and significant adverse industry or market economic trends. No such indicators existed during 2007. If an indicator of possible impairment exists, a property is evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the property to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the property. If the carrying amount of a property exceeds its estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. Management estimates fair value of our rental properties based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company. Management did not record any impairment charges for 2007.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, we make subjective estimates of the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above and below market leases, in-place leases, tenant relationships and assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms) in accordance with SFAS No.141, Business Combinations. We utilize methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in making these estimates. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management makes quarterly estimates of the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes trends in accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, when customers are in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition administrative and damage claims. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans that we originated and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and we defer certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortize them over the term of the related loan. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal for each loan to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateralized. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Recent Developments
Debt Financing
On February 21, 2007, we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $11.6 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Credit Facility
On April 18, 2007 we amended our $235.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment allows additional assets, subject to certain limitations, to be included in our borrowing base, and provides a more favorable valuation of our megaplex theatres and entertainment related retail assets in the calculation of the borrowing base and the leverage ratio. Additionally, the amendment relaxes the covenants that limit our investment in certain types of assets, raises our capacity to issue letters of credit and provides us with the flexibility to incur other unsecured recourse indebtedness, subject to certain limitations, beyond the unsecured revolving credit facility. The size, term and pricing of the unsecured revolving credit facility were not impacted by the amendment.
Issuance of Series D Preferred Shares
On May 25, 2007, we issued 4.6 million 7.375% Series D preferred shares in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million, after expenses.

redeem the Series D preferred shares before May 25, 2012, except in limited circumstances to preserve our REIT status. On or after May 25, 2012, we may, at our option, redeem the Series D preferred shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the date of redemption. The Series D preferred shares generally have no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of our other securities. Owners of the Series D preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. The net proceeds from this offering were used to redeem our 9.50% Series A preferred shares and to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Redemption of Series A Preferred Shares
On May 29, 2007, we completed the redemption of all 2.3 million of our outstanding 9.50% Series A preferred shares. The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.39 per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of $0.59375 prorated through the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, we recognized both a non-cash charge representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 2002 and also other redemption related expenses. The aggregate reduction to net income available to common shareholders was approximately $2.1 million ($0.08 per fully diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Sale of Property
On June 7, 2007, we sold a parcel of land, including two leased properties, adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida and the related development rights to a developer group for $7.7 million. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $3.2 million and recognized development fees of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. For further detail on this disposition, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Derivative Instruments
As further discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on June 1, 2007, we entered into a cross currency swap and a new forward contract. The cross currency swap has a notional amount of $76.0 million Canadian dollars (CAD) and $71.5 million U.S. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. The new forward contract has a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar.

Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2007 compared to year ended December 31, 2006
Rental revenue was $185.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $167.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $18.6 million increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions and developments completed in 2006 and 2007 and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by the recognition of a lease termination fee of $4.0 million from our theatre in Hialeah, Florida during the year ended December 31, 2006. Percentage rents of $2.1 million and $1.6 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Straight-line rents of $4.5 million and $3.9 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our retail centers. Of the $4.0 million increase, $3.1 million is due to our May 8, 2007 acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York. The remaining increase is due to increases in tenant reimbursements, primarily driven by the expansion and leasing of the gross leasable area at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada.
Other income was $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease of $0.9 million is primarily due to a decrease in revenues from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September 2005 and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield, Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.

Table of Contents

Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $28.8 million compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $17.8 million increase relates to the increased real estate lending activities during 2007 compared to 2006.
Our property operating expense totaled $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. The increase of $4.3 million is primarily due to $3.2 million in property operating expense related to our May 8, 2007 acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York. Additionally, bad debt expense increased by $0.4 million during 2007 and the property operating expenses at our Ontario, Canada retail centers increased by $0.6 million during 2007 primarily due to increases in property taxes.
Other expense totaled $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $0.7 million increase is due primarily to $1.7 million in expense recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts during the year ended December 31, 2007. Partially offsetting this increase is a decrease in expenses from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September 2005 and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield, Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase of $0.5 million is due to increases in costs that primarily resulted from payroll and related expenses attributable to increases in base and incentive compensation, additional employees and amortization resulting from grants of nonvested shares to management, as well as increases in franchise taxes and professional fees. Partially offsetting this increase is $1.7 million in expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 related to nonvested share awards from prior years. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized expense of $1.4 million related to the retirement of one of our executives.
Costs associated with loan refinancing for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $0.7 million. These costs related to the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility and consisted of the write-off of $0.7 million of certain unamortized financing costs. No such costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2007.
Our net interest expense increased by $11.6 million to $60.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $48.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Approximately $4.4 million of the increase resulted from the acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York that had outstanding mortgage debt of $119.7 million as of the May 8, 2007 acquisition date. The remainder of the increase resulted from increases in long-term debt used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our new mortgage notes receivable.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $37.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $6.4 million increase resulted primarily from real estate acquisitions completed in 2006 and 2007.
Equity in income from joint ventures totaled $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $0.8 million increase

42


Table of Contents

resulted from the Company’s investment in a 50% ownership interest of CS Fund I on October 30, 2007.
Minority interest totaled $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 and resulted from the consolidation of a VIE in which our only variable interest is debt and the VIE has sufficient equity to cover its cumulative net losses incurred subsequent to our loan transaction. There was no such minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Income from discontinued operations totaled $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The $0.3 million increase is due to the recognition of $0.7 million in development fees in 2007 related to a parcel adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida. The development rights, along with two income-producing tenancies, were sold to a developer group in June of 2007. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2006 resulting from an insurance claim. As a result of the hurricane events of October 2005, one non triple-net retail property in Pompano Beach, Florida suffered significant damage to its roof. The insurance company reimbursed us for the replacement of the roof less our deductible in January 2006.
The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was due to the sale of a parcel that included two leased properties adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida. There was no gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Preferred dividend requirements for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $21.3 million compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2006. The $9.4 million increase is due to the issuance of 5.4 million Series C preferred shares in December of 2006 and 4.6 million Series D preferred shares in May of 2007, partially offset by the redemption of 2.3 million Series A preferred shares in May of 2007.
The Series A preferred share redemption costs of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 was due to the redemption of the Series A preferred shares on May 29, 2007 and primarily consists of a noncash charge for the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of these shares. There was no such expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 2006.
Year ended December 31, 2006 compared to year ended December 31, 2005
Rental revenue was $167.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $145.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $22.3 million increase resulted primarily from the property acquisitions and developments completed in 2005 and 2006, base rent increases on existing properties and the recognition of a lease termination fee of $4.0 million related to the termination of our lease with the previous tenant of our theatre in Hialeah, Florida. This property has been leased to a new tenant. No termination fees were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2005. Percentage rents of $1.6 million and $1.8 million were recognized during 2006 and 2005, respectively. Straight-line rents of $3.9 and $2.2 million were recognized during 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the receivable for straight-line rents was $16.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As further described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”) effective January 1, 2006. The adjustments made in conjunction with our implementation of SAB 108 resulted in

Table of Contents

an increase of approximately $1.4 million in straight-line rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 and an increase in the net receivable for straight-line rents of $9.0 million at December 31, 2006.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our retail centers. The $2.0 million increase is due to a $0.7 million increase at our retail center in Burbank, California which was acquired on March 31, 2005, and the remainder of the increase is due to increases in tenant reimbursement rates primarily at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada, which resulted in an increase in tenant reimbursements of $1.1 million.
Other income was $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease of $0.2 million is due to the following:
    An increase of $0.5 million in revenues from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September 2005 and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield, Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.
 
    A decrease of $0.1 million in revenues from our family bowling center in Westminster, Colorado which is operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
 
    Development fees of $0.6 million were received in the year ended December 31, 2005 and no development fees were received in the year ended December 31, 2006.
Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $11.0 million compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $6.1 million increase relates to the increased real estate lending activities during 2006 compared to 2005.
Our property operating expense totaled $18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. The $2.7 million increase is due to increases in property taxes, bad debt expense and other property operating expenses at certain of these properties. The property operating expenses at our Burbank, California retail center, which was acquired on March 31, 2005, increased by $1.1 million of which $0.3 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2006 in conjunction with the early termination of a property management agreement covering this center. The property operating expenses at our Ontario, Canada retail centers increased by $1.4 million primarily due to increases in property taxes. Additionally, bad debt expense increased by $0.4 million during 2006.
Other operating expense totaled $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase of $0.5 million primarily relates to expenses from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September 2005, and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase primarily resulted from share-based compensation expense, which we account for in accordance with SFAS 123R, Share Based Payment. In 2006, we changed how we account for nonvested stock bonus awards issued pursuant to our Annual Incentive Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2006,

44


Table of Contents

we expensed $1.7 million of nonvested stock awards that related to bonus awards from prior years. This adjustment was made because the employees who received the awards could have elected to receive cash instead of nonvested shares at the time in which they elected to receive their bonuses in nonvested shares. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized an expense of $1.4 million related to the retirement of one of our executives. This amount represented the fair value of the executive’s nonvested share options and nonvested shares at his retirement date of June 30, 2006. The remainder of the increase is due primarily to payroll and related expenses attributable to increases in base and incentive compensation, additional employees, certain employee benefits and grants of nonvested shares to management, as well as increases in franchise taxes and professional fees.
Costs associated with loan refinancing for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $0.7 million. These costs related to the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility and consisted of the write-off of $0.7 million of certain unamortized financing costs. No such costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Our net interest expense increased by $5.2 million to $48.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $43.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in net interest expense primarily resulted from increases in long-term debt used to finance real estate acquisitions and increases in the interest rates associated with our borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The $3.5 million increase resulted primarily from the property acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2006.
The gain on sale of land of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 was due to the sale of an acre of land that was originally purchased along with one of our megaplex theatres. There was no gain on sale of land recognized for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Preferred dividend requirements for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $11.9 million compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2005. The $0.5 million increase is due to the issuance of 3.2 million Series B preferred shares in January of 2005 and 5.4 million Series C preferred shares in December of 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $15.2 million at December 31, 2007. In addition, we had restricted cash of $12.8 million at December 31, 2007. Of the restricted cash at December 31, 2007, $4.3 million relates to cash held for our borrower’s debt service reserve for mortgage notes receivable and the balance represents deposits required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.
Mortgage Debt and Credit Facilities
As of December 31, 2007, we had total debt outstanding of $1.08 billion. As of December 31, 2007, $1.06 billion of debt outstanding was fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a substantial portion of our rental properties and mortgage notes receivable, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.0%. This $1.06 billion of fixed rate mortgage debt includes $114.0 million of LIBOR based debt that has been converted to fixed rate with two interest rate swaps as

further described below. All of our debt is described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
At December 31, 2007, we had no debt outstanding under our $235.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with interest at a floating rate. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in January of 2009 and was recently amended (described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). The amount that we are able to borrow on our unsecured revolving credit facility is a function of the values and advance rates, as defined by the credit agreement, assigned to the assets included in the borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit and less other liabilities, excluding our term loan discussed below, that are recourse obligations of the Company. As of December 31, 2007, our total availability under the unsecured revolving credit facility was $104.4 million.
On October 26, 2007, we obtained a term loan of $120 million. This loan is secured by primarily non-theatre assets and is recourse to us. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points (6.63% at December 31, 2007) and has a four year term expiring in 2011 with a one year extension available at our option. On November 26, 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 5.81% on $114.0 million of the outstanding term loan through October 26, 2012.
Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational and specialty properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with mortgage debt and the proceeds from equity offerings. Our unsecured revolving credit facility and our term loan are also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. Continued growth of our rental property and mortgage financing portfolios will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings.
Capital Structure and Coverage Ratios
We believe that our shareholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet and solid interest, fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios. We expect to maintain our leverage ratio (i.e. total-long term debt of the Company as a percentage of shareholders’ equity plus total liabilities) below 55%. However, the timing and size of our equity offerings may cause us to temporarily operate over this threshold. At December 31, 2007, our leverage ratio was 50%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at December 31, 2007 was 40%. We do not manage to a ratio based on total market capitalization due to the inherent variability that is driven by changes in the market price of our common shares. We calculate our total market capitalization of $2.7 billion by aggregating the following at December 31, 2007:
    Common shares outstanding of 28,084,609 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $47.00 per share, or $1.3 billion;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series B preferred shares of $80 million;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C preferred shares of $135 million;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series D preferred shares of $115 million; and
 
    Total long-term debt of $1.1 billion

    Our interest coverage ratio for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was 3.2 times, 3.3 times, and 3.2 times, respectively. Interest coverage is calculated as the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided by interest expense, gross (as calculated in the following table). We consider the interest coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to meet its interest expense obligations. Our calculation of the interest coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.

The interest coverage amount per the above table is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures. It is most directly comparable to the GAAP liquidity measure, “Net cash provided by operating activities,” and is not directly comparable to the GAAP liquidity measures, “Net cash used in investing activities” and “Net cash provided by financing activities.” The interest coverage amount can be reconciled to “Net cash provided by operating activities” per the consolidated statements of cash flows included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as follows (in thousands):

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was 2.4 times, 2.7 times, and 2.5 times, respectively. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that preferred share dividends are also added to the denominator. We consider the fixed charge coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to make its interest and preferred share dividend payments. Our calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that recurring principal payments are also added to the denominator.

Liquidity Requirements
Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders. We meet these requirements primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $131.6 million, $106.4 million and $95.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was $420.6 million, $162.0 million and $220.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $294.3 million, $58.6 million and $120.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, and funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.
Long-term liquidity requirements at December 31, 2007 consisted primarily of maturities of long-term debt. Contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007 are as follows (in thousands):

We have posted irrevocable stand-by letters of credit related to the Toronto Life Square project as further described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2007, these letters of credit totaled $13.2 million, of which at least $5 million is expected to be drawn upon and added to our mortgage note receivable by May 31, 2008.
We believe that we will be able to obtain financing in order to repay our debt obligations by refinancing the properties as the debt comes due. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.
Our primary use of cash after paying operating expenses, debt service and distributions to shareholders is in the acquisition, development and financing of properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as long-term debt and equity financing alternatives. The availability and terms of any such financing will depend upon market and other conditions. If we borrow the maximum amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional investment financing, which would not affect our liquidity, but would affect our ability to grow (See “Risk Factors”).
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had one theatre project under construction at December 31, 2007. The property has been pre-leased to the prospective tenant under a long-term triple-net lease. The cost of development will be paid by us in periodic draws. The related timing and amount of rental payments to be received by us from the tenant under the lease correspond to the timing and amount of funding by us of the cost of development. This theatre will have 12 screens and the total development cost will be approximately $13.2 million. Through December 31, 2007, we had not yet invested any funds in this project but have commitments to fund the $13.2 million in improvements. We plan to fund development primarily with funds generated by debt financing and/or equity offerings. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue funding construction draws.
On October 31, 2007, we entered into a guarantee agreement for $22.0 million. This guarantee is for economic development revenue bonds with a total principal amount of $22.0 million, maturing on October 31, 2037. The bonds were issued by Southern Theatres for the purpose of financing the development and construction of three megaplex theatres in Louisiana. We earn an annual fee of 1.75% on the outstanding principal amount of the bonds and the fee is paid by Southern Theatres monthly. We evaluated this guarantee in connection with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). Based on certain criteria, FIN 45 requires a guarantor to record an asset and a liability for a guarantee at inception. Accordingly, we have recorded $4.0 million as a deferred asset included in accounts receivable and $4.0 million in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.
We have certain unfunded commitments related to our mortgage note investments that we may be required to fund in the future. We are generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of our direct control. As of

50


Table of Contents

December 31, 2007, we had four mortgage notes receivable with unfunded commitments totaling approximately $99.9 million. If such commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
At December 31, 2007, we had a 20.8%, 21.2% and 50.0% investment interest in three unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I, Atlantic-EPR II and CS Fund I, respectively, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We do not anticipate any material impact on our liquidity as a result of any commitments that may arise involving those joint ventures.
We recognized income of $491, $464 and $437 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We recognized income of $301, $295 and $291 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR II joint venture during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We also recognized income of $791 (in thousands) from our investment in the CS Fund I joint venture during 2007. Condensed financial information for Atlantic-EPR I, Atlantic-EPR II and CS Fund I joint ventures is included in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The joint venture agreements for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II allow our partner, Atlantic of Hamburg, Germany (Atlantic), to exchange up to a maximum of 10% of its ownership interest per year in each of the joint ventures for our common shares or, at our discretion, the cash value of those shares as defined in each of the joint venture agreements. We received notices from Atlantic that effective September 28, 2007 and December 31, 2007 they wanted to exchange a portion of their ownership in Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II. In October of 2007, we paid Atlantic cash of $71 and $137 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of .3% and 1.2% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. In January of 2008, we paid Atlantic cash of $95 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of .5% for Atlantic-EPR I.
Funds From Operations (FFO)
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO, as defined under the revised NAREIT definition and presented by us, is net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.
The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of our Series C convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years

ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 because the effect is anti-dilutive. However, because a conversion would be dilutive to FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2007, these adjustments have been made in the calculation of diluted FFO for that year.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for

financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In November 2007, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses for that item are to be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the Company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, An Amendment of ARB 51” (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests. It requires that noncontrolling interests, sometimes referred to as minority interests, be reported as a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, it requires net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both controlling and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, even those that occurred prior to the effective date. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 160 in the first quarter of 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.
Additionally, in December 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” was revised by the FASB Statement No. 141R (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at “full fair value” as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements designed to enable the users of the financial statements to assess the effect of a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141R will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 141R in the first quarter of 2009.
Inflation
Investments by EPR are financed with a combination of equity and debt. During inflationary periods, which are generally accompanied by rising interest rates, our ability to grow may be adversely affected because the yield on new investments may increase at a slower rate than new borrowing costs.

All of our megaplex theatre leases provide for base and participating rent features. To the extent inflation causes tenant revenues at our properties to increase over baseline amounts, we would participate in those revenue increases through our right to receive annual percentage rent. Our leases and mortgage notes receivable also generally provide for escalation in base rents or interest in the event of increases in the Consumer Price Index, with generally a limit of 2% per annum, or fixed periodic increases.
Our leases are generally triple-net leases requiring the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the properties, thereby minimizing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. A portion of our retail and restaurant leases are non-triple-net leases. These retail leases represent approximately 18% of our total real estate square footage. To the extent any of those leases contain fixed expense reimbursement provisions or limitations, we may be subject to increases in costs resulting from inflation that are not fully passed through to tenants.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. We also have a $235 million unsecured revolving credit facility and a $120 million term loan that both bear interest at floating rates. The $120 million term loan includes $114.0 million of LIBOR based debt that has been converted to a fixed rate with two interest rate swaps as further described below.
We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to mortgages or contractual agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.
The following table presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates, and other terms required by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes as of December 31 (including the impact of the two interest rate swap agreements described below):

                6.9 %                       6.9 %      
On November 26, 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $114.0 million of the outstanding term loan. These agreements each have a notional amount of $57.0 million, a termination date of October 26, 2012 and a fixed rate of 5.81%.
We financed the acquisition of our four Canadian properties with non-recourse fixed rate mortgage loans from a Canadian lender in the original aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S. $97 million. The loans were made and are payable by us in Canadian dollars (CAD), and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD. We have also provided a secured mortgage construction loan totaling CAD $75.4 million. The loan and the related interest income is payable to us in CAD.

We have partially mitigated the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on our Canadian properties by matching Canadian dollar debt financing with Canadian dollar rents. To further mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on the four Canadian properties, during the second quarter of 2007, we entered into a cross currency swap with a notional value of $76.0 million CAD and $71.5 million U.S. The swap calls for monthly exchanges from January 2008 through February 2014 with us paying CAD based on an annual rate of 17.16% of the notional amount and receiving U.S. dollars based on an annual rate of 17.4% of the notional amount. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through February 2014 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.
In order to also hedge our net investment on the four Canadian properties, we entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date which coincides with the maturity of our underlying mortgage on these four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. This forward contract should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through February 2014 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of our four Canadian properties.
To further mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on the interest income from the CAD denominated mortgage receivable, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts with monthly settlement dates ranging from January 2008 through March 2008. These contracts have a notional value of $2.2 million CAD and an average exchange rate of $1.13 CAD per U.S. dollar. We have not yet hedged any of our net investment in the CAD denominated mortgage receivable or its expected CAD denominated interest income beyond March 2008 due to the mortgage note’s maturity in 2008 and our underlying option to buy a 50% interest in the borrower entity.
See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees
Entertainment Properties Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Properties Trust (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(2). These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entertainment Properties Trust as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of quantifying errors in 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

1. Organization
Description of Business
Entertainment Properties Trust (the Company) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT) organized on August 29, 1997. The Company develops, owns, leases and finances megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers (centers generally anchored by an entertainment component such as a megaplex theatre and containing other entertainment-related properties), and destination recreational and specialty properties. The Company’s properties are located in the United States and Canada.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entertainment Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned except for those subsidiaries discussed below.
As further explained in Note 6, New Roc Associates, LP (New Roc) is owned 71.4% by the Company. Minority interest expense related to New Roc was $34 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2005. There was no minority interest expense related to New Roc for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Total minority interest in New Roc included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $4.3 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company consolidates certain entities if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined in FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN46R, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
As further explained in Note 6, LC White Plains Retail LLC, LC White Plains Recreation LLC and Cappelli Group LLC (together the White Plains entities), as well as Suffolk Retail LLC (Suffolk), are VIEs in which the Company has been deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the financial statements of these VIEs have been consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. Total minority interest income related to the White Plains entities was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. There was no minority interest income or expense related to the White Plains entities for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005, and there was no minority interest income or expense related to Suffolk for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005. Total minority interest in the White Plains entities and Suffolk was $13.8 million and $3.0 thousand as of December 31, 2007, respectively. There was no minority interest in the White Plains entities or Suffolk as of December 31, 2006 or 2005.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Rental Properties
Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, for the recognition and measurement of impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used. Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.
Accounting for Acquisitions
The Company considers the fair values of both tangible and intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed when allocating the purchase price of acquisitions (plus any capitalized costs incurred during the acquisition). Tangible assets may include land, building, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Intangible assets or liabilities may include values assigned to in-place leases (including the separate values that may be assigned to above-market and below-market in-place leases), the value of customer relationships, and any assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms.
Most of the Company’s rental property acquisitions do not involve in-place leases. In such cases, the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets based on recent independent appraisals and management judgment. Because the Company typically executes these leases simultaneously with the purchase of the real estate, no value is ascribed to in-place leases in these transactions.
For rental property acquisitions involving in-place leases, the fair value of the tangible assets is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of the assets. Management determines the “as if vacant” fair value of a property using recent independent appraisals or methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. The aggregate value of intangible assets or liabilities is measured based on the difference between the stated price plus capitalized costs and the property as if vacant.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
In determining the fair value of acquired in-place leases, the Company considers many factors. On a lease-by-lease basis, management considers the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of fair market lease rates. For above market leases, management considers such differences over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms and for below market leases, management considers such differences over the remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. Management considers several factors in determining the discount rate used in the present value calculations, including the credit risks associated with the respective tenants. If debt is assumed in the acquisition, the determination of whether it is above or below market is based upon a comparison of similar financing terms for similar rental properties.
The fair value of acquired in-place leases also includes management’s estimate, on a lease-by-lease basis, of the present value of the following amounts: (i) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases (i.e. the market cost to execute the leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs); (ii) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed re-leasing period, (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (iii) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed re-leasing period; and (iv) the value associated with avoided tenant improvement costs or other inducements to secure a tenant lease. These values are amortized over the remaining initial lease term of the respective leases.
The Company also determines the value, if any, associated with customer relationships considering factors such as the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationship with the tenants, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenants and expectation of lease renewals. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized over the remaining initial lease terms plus any renewal periods.
Management of the Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets consist of the following at December 31 (in thousands):
                 
    2007     2006  
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $5.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively
  $ 15,835     $ 8,673  
Goodwill
    693       693  
 
           
Total intangible assets, net
  $ 16,528     $ 9,366  
 
           
In-place leases, net at December 31, 2007 of approximately $15.8 million, relate to four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada that were purchased on March 1, 2004, one entertainment retail center in Burbank, California that was purchased on March 31, 2005 and one entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York that was purchased on May 8, 2007.

Goodwill at December 31, 2007 and 2006 relates solely to the acquisition of New Roc that was acquired on October 27, 2003. Amortization expense related to in-place leases is computed using the straight-line method and was $1.8 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The weighted average life for these in-place leases at December 31, 2007 is 8 years.

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related long-term debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable.
Capitalized Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs that relate to property under development including interest and internal legal personnel costs.
Operating Segment
The Company aggregates the financial information of all its investments into one reportable segment because the investments all have similar economic characteristics and because the Company does not internally report and is not internally organized by investment or transaction type.
Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. Straight-line rent receivable is included in accounts receivable and was $20.8 million and $16.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, most of the Company’s tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease agreements. Percentage rents of $2.1 million, $1.6 million and $1.9 million were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no obligation to provide services to such former tenants. Termination fees of $4.1 million were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108), the Company increased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2006 by $7.7 million, and increased rental revenue and net income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2006 by $1.0 million to reflect an adjustment for the recognition of straight line rent revenues and receivables related to certain leases executed or acquired between 1998 and 2003. See Note 19 for additional information on SAB 108.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is comprised primarily of rents and operating cost recoveries due from tenants as well as accrued rental rate increases to be received over the life of the existing leases. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of the Company’s tenants, historical trends of the tenant and/or other debtor, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company estimates the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectiblity of accounts receivable prove incorrect, the Company could experience write-offs of the accounts receivable or accrued straight-line rents receivable in excess of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. The Company evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateralized. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Income Taxes
The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company intends to continue to qualify as a REIT and distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.

In 2004, the Company acquired certain real estate operations that are subject to income tax in Canada. Also in 2004, the Company formed certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, as permitted under the Code, through which it conducts certain business activities. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal and state income taxes on their net taxable income. Temporary differences between income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income for the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries relate primarily to depreciation, amortization of deferred financing costs and straight line rents. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets totaling approximately $8.6 million and $6.1 million and deferred tax liabilities totaling approximately $3.5 million and $2.4 million. As there is no assurance that the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries will generate taxable income in the future beyond the reversal of temporary taxable differences, the deferred tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance such that there is no net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2007 and 2006. Furthermore, the Company qualified as a REIT and distributed the necessary amount of taxable income such that no federal income taxes were due for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was recorded for any of those years. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and it prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax positions, and therefore, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The Company’s policy is to recognize estimated interest and penalties as general and administrative expense. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years (after 2004 for federal and state and after 2002 for Canada) based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, may differ from that reported for income tax reporting purposes due primarily to differences in the basis of the Company’s assets and the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

Concentrations of Risk
American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (51%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company (including joint venture properties) at December 31, 2007 as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to a number of AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s rental revenues (approximately $95.6 million or 51%, $93.4 million or 56%, and $82.1 million or 57% for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively) result from the rental payments by AMC under the leases, or its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE), as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE had total assets of $4.1 billion and $4.4 billion, total liabilities of $2.7 billion and $3.2 billion and total stockholder’s equity of $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion at March 29, 2007 and March 30, 2006, respectively. AMCE had net earnings of $134.1 million for the fifty-two weeks ended March 29, 2007 and net loss of $190.9 million for the fifty-two weeks ended March 30, 2006. AMCE’s net loss from its inception date of July 16, 2004 to March 31, 2005 was $34.8 million. In addition, AMCE had net earnings of $47.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2007. AMCE has publicly held debt and accordingly, its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are publicly available.
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, approximately $35.8 million, or 15.2%, $32.8 million, or 16.7%, and $28.7 million, or 17.3%, of total revenue was derived from the Company’s four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, approximately $48.5 million, or 20.6%, $41.7 million, or 21.3%, and $32.3 million, or 19.5%, of our total revenue was derived from the Company’s four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada combined with the mortgage financing interest related to the Company’s mortgage note receivable held in Canada. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail centers, third party debt and mortgage note receivable represent approximately $233.3 million or 23% and $161.0 million or 19% of the Company’s net assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include bank demand deposits and shares of highly liquid institutional money market mutual funds for which cost approximates market value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash held for a borrower’s debt service reserve for mortgage notes receivable and also deposits required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is issued to employees of the Company pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, and to Trustees for their service to the Company. Prior to May 9, 2007, all common shares and options to purchase common shares (share options) were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan. The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 9, 2007 annual meeting and this plan replaces the 1997

Share Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all common shares and options to purchase common shares granted on or after May 9, 2007 are issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Company accounts for share based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment.” In compliance with this standard, the Company has recorded share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 related to all options for employees and trustees. Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for share options granted under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. Share based compensation expense consists of share option expense, amortization of nonvested share grants and shares issued to Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, and totaled $3.2 million, $4.9 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Share Options
Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to Trustees for their service to the Company. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and vest either immediately or up to a period of 5 years. Share option expense for all options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for those unvested options held by a retired executive which were fully expensed as of June 30, 2006.
The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $422 thousand, $829 thousand (including $522 thousand in expense recognized related to unvested share options held by a retired executive at the time of his retirement) and $145 thousand, respectively. The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards (as required in SFAS No. 123R). If the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for the year ended December 31, 2005, total share option expense would have been $221 thousand. This difference in expense had no material impact on either reported basic or reported diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates: risk-free interest rate of 4.8% , 4.8% to 5.0% and 4.0% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, dividend yield of 5.2% to 5.4%, 5.8% and 6.0 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 19.5% to 19.8%, 21.1% and 20.7% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, no expected forfeitures and an expected life of eight years. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Additionally, expected volatility is computed based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares.

Nonvested Shares
The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (usually three to five years), except for those nonvested shares held by a retired executive which were fully expensed as of June 30, 2006.
Total expense recognized related to all nonvested shares was $2.5 million, $3.9 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The expense of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes $852 thousand in expense related to nonvested shares held by a retired executive at the time of his retirement, and $1.7 million in expense related to nonvested shares from prior years related to the Annual Incentive Program.
Shares Issued to Trustees
The Company issues shares to Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to Trustees was $290 thousand, $161 thousand and $119 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for the operations of its Canadian properties and mortgage note in Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities related to the Company’s Canadian properties and mortgage note are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income.
Derivatives Instruments
The Company acquired certain derivative instruments during 2006 and 2007 to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and variable rate interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps.
The Company measures its derivative instruments at fair value and records them in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities. The effective portions of changes in fair value of cash flow hedges are reported in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency hedges that are designated and effective as net investment hedges are included in the cumulative translation component of OCI to the extent they are economically effective and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged investments are sold or otherwise disposed of.

The loan agreement provides that no principal or interest payments are due prior to May 31, 2008, at which time a 25% principal payment is due along with all accrued interest to date. The loan agreement also provides that the Partnership has an option on May 31, 2008 to either pay off the note in full including all accrued interest, without penalty, or to extend by six months the amount due on May 31, 2008 to November 30, 2008. Also on November 30, 2008, the Partnership again has the option to pay off the note in full including accrued interest, without penalty. The Partnership can also prepay the note (in full only, including all accrued interest) at any time other than May 31, 2008 or November 30, 2008 with prepayment penalties as defined in the agreement.
On the maturity date or any other date that the Partnership elects to prepay the note in full, the Company has the option to purchase a 50% equity interest in the Partnership or alternative joint venture vehicle that is established. The purchase price stipulated in the option is based on estimated fair market value of the entertainment retail center at the time of exercise, defined as the then existing stabilized net operating income capitalized at a pre-determined rate. A subscription agreement governs the terms of the cash flow sharing with the other partners should the Company elect to become an owner.
The Company received origination fees of CAD $250 thousand ($237 thousand U.S.) and CAD $400 thousand ($353 thousand U.S.) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with this mortgage note receivable and the fees are being amortized through May 31, 2008.

This loan is guaranteed by Peak Resorts, Inc. (Peak), which operates the property. Monthly interest payments are made to the Company and the unpaid principal balance currently bears interest at 9.39%. These notes currently require Peak to fund debt service reserves that must maintain a minimum balance of four months of debt service payments. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from these debt service reserves. Annually, this interest rate increases based on a formula dependent in part on increases in the CPI.
(3) During the year ended December 31, 2006, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company provided a secured construction mortgage loan of $8.0 million to Boardwalk Ventures, LLC, Grand Slidell, LLC and Esplanade Theatres, LLC for the purpose of constructing a megaplex theatre property in Louisiana.

The Company advanced $56.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2007 under these agreements. The loans are secured by two ski resorts located in Vermont and New Hampshire. Mount Snow is approximately 2,378 acres and is located in both West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont. Mount Attitash is approximately 1,250 acres and is located in Bartlett, New Hampshire. These notes currently require Peak to fund debt service reserves that must maintain a minimum balance of four months of debt service payments.

The loan is secured by seven ski resorts located in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania with a total of approximately 1,431 acres. Monthly interest payments are made by the Company and the unpaid principal initially bears interest at 9.25%. These notes currently require Peak to fund debt service reserves that must maintain a minimum balance of four months of debt service payments. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from these debt service reserves. Annually, this interest rate increases based on a formula dependent in part on increases in the CPI.
(8) On December 28, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a secured first mortgage loan agreement for $27.0 million with Prairie Creek Properties, LLC for the development of an approximately 9,000 seat amphitheatre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

The Company’s consolidated statements of income include net income related to New Roc of $1.5, $1.9 and $2.5 (in millions) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As described in Note 7, the Company also had a $10 million note receivable from LRC at December 31, 2007 and a $5 million note receivable from LRC at both December 31, 2006 and 2005.
As detailed in the limited partnership agreement, cash flow is distributed as follows: first, to the Company to allow for a preferred return of 10.142% of its original limited partnership investment, or $2.5 million per year, less a prorata share of capital expenditures; second, to LRC to allow for a preferred return of 8% of its original limited partnership investment, or $800 thousand per year, less a prorata share of capital expenditures; third, in proportion to the partners’ ownership interests for any undistributed capital expenditures; and fourth, until all current year distributions and the amount of debt service payments equals $8.9 million (the Trigger Level), cash flow shall be distributed 85% to the Company and 15% to LRC. After the Trigger Level has been reached for the applicable fiscal year, cash flow shall be distributed 60% to the Company and 40% to LRC. The Company received distributions from New Roc of $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.7 million during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
At any time after March 8, 2007, LRC has the right to exchange its interest in New Roc for common shares of the Company or the cash value of those shares, at the Company’s option, as long as the net operating income (NOI) of New Roc during the preceding 12 months exceeds $8.9 million, and certain other conditions are met. The number of common shares of the Company issuable to LRC would equal 75% of LRC’s capital in New Roc (up to 100% if New Roc’s NOI is between $8.9 million and $10.0 million), divided by the greater of the Company’s book value per share or the average closing price of the Company’s common shares.

As detailed in the operating agreements of the White Plains LLCs, cash flow is distributed as follows: first to the Company to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class A shares, or $1.05 million, second to Cappelli Group to allow for a preferred return of 9% on the original capital account of its Class B shares, or $2.25 million, third to City Center Group LLC to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class C shares, or $0.5 million, fourth to City Center Group LLC to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class D shares, or $0.5 million. The operating agreements provide several other priorities of cash flow related to return on and return of subsequent capital contributions that rank below the above four preferred returns. The final priority calls for the remaining cash flow to be distributed 66.67% to the Company’s Class A shares and 33.33% to City Center Group LLC’s Class C shares. If the cash flow of the White Plains LLCs is not sufficient to pay any of the preferred returns described above, the preferred returns remain undistributed, but are due upon a liquidation or refinancing event. Upon liquidation or refinancing, after all undistributed preferred returns and return of capital accounts are paid, any remaining cash is distributed 66.67% to the Company and 33.33% to City Center Group LLC.
Additionally, the Company loaned $20 million to Cappelli Group, LLC which is secured by the Cappelli Group, LLC’s Class B shares of the White Plains LLCs. The note has a stated maturity of May 8, 2027 and bears interest at the rate of 10%. Cappelli Group, LLC is only required to make cash interest payments on the $20 million note payable to the extent that they have received cash distributions on their Class B shares of the White Plains LLCs. The White Plains LLC’s are required to pay Cappelli Group, LLC’s Class B distributions directly to the Company to the extent there is accrued interest receivable on the $20 million note.
The Cappelli Group, LLC as well as the White Plains LLCs are VIEs and the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of each of these VIEs. As further discussed below, the financial statements of these VIEs have been consolidated into the Company’s December 31, 2007 financial statements. The $20 million note between the Company and Cappelli Group, LLC and the related interest income and expense have been eliminated. Cappelli Group’s income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007 is presented below (in thousands):
         
Equity in losses of White Plains LLCs
  $ 113  
Interest expense

Pursuant to FIN 46R, the Company consolidated Cappelli Group LLC’s net loss of $1.4 million and recognized a corresponding amount of minority interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 since the Company’s only variable interest in Cappelli Group LLC is debt and Cappelli Group LLC has sufficient equity to cover its cumulative net loss subsequent to the May 8, 2007 loan transaction with the Company. The Cappelli Group LLC’s equity, after the current year loss allocation, is $3.6 million and is reflected as minority interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007.

(19) The Company’s mortgage note payable due July 15, 2018 is secured by one theatre property, which had a net book value of approximately $20.5 million at December 31, 2007. The note had an initial balance of $18.9 million and the monthly payments are based on a 20 year amortization schedule. The notes require monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $151 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of approximately $843 thousand.
(20) The Company’s mortgage note payable due July 11, 2028 is secured by eight theatre properties, which had a net book value of approximately $129.2 million at December 31, 2007. The note had an initial balance of $105.0 million and the monthly payments are based on a 30 year amortization schedule. The note requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $689 thousand. This mortgage agreement contains a “hyper-amortization” feature, in which the principal payment schedule is rapidly accelerated, and our principal payments are substantially increased, if we fail to pay the balance of approximately $89.9 million on the anticipated prepayment date of July 11, 2008.
(21) The Company’s bond payable due October 1, 2037 is secured by one theatre, which had a net book value of approximately $11.2 million at December 31, 2007, and bears interest at a variable rate which resets on a weekly basis and was 3.43% at December 31, 2007. The bond requires monthly interest payments with a final principal payment at maturity of approximately $10.6 million.
(22) The Company’s mortgage note payable is secured by one theatre and retail mix property, which had a net book value of approximately $90.8 million at December 31, 2007, and bears interest at 5.50%. The note requires monthly payments of interest only and provides for the conversion from construction loan to a ten year permanent loan upon completion of construction. However, as of December 31, 2007, this conversion had not yet been completed.
(23) The Company’s mortgage note payable is secured by one theatre and retail mix property, which had a net book value of approximately $156.1 million at December 31, 2007, and bears interest at 5.00%. The note requires monthly payments of interest only and provides for the conversion from construction loan to a ten year permanent loan upon completion of construction. However, as of December 31, 2007, this conversion had not yet been completed.
Certain of the Company’s long-term debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating performance. At December 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

9. Amendment of Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 18, 2007, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment allows additional assets, subject to certain limitations, to be included in the Company’s borrowing base, and provides a more favorable valuation of the Company’s megaplex theatres and entertainment related retail assets in the calculation of the borrowing base and the leverage ratio. Additionally, the amendment relaxes the covenants that limit the Company’s investment in certain types of assets, raises its capacity to issue letters of credit and provides the Company with the flexibility to incur other unsecured recourse indebtedness, subject to certain limitations, beyond the unsecured revolving credit facility. The size, term and pricing of the unsecured revolving credit facility were not impacted by the amendment.
10. Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on its LIBOR based borrowings. The Company limits this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses foreign currency forwards, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps.
In 1998, the Company entered into a forward contract in connection with a mortgage note payable

December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
due July 2028 to essentially fix the base rate of interest on a notional amount of $105 million. Because of a hyper-amortization feature on this note, as further described in Note 8, it is anticipated that this note will be paid in full prior to maturity in July, 2008, the optional prepayment date. The forward contract settled on June 29, 1998, the closing date of the long-term debt issuance, and the Company incurred a loss of $1.4 million, which is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the anticipated ten year term of the long-term debt resulting in an effective interest rate of 6.84%. The remaining unamortized amount of $91 thousand and $263 thousand is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Additionally, on November 26, 2007, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $114.0 million of the outstanding term loan. These agreements each have a notional amount of $57.0 million, a termination date of October 26, 2012 and a fixed rate of 5.81%.
On June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a cross currency swap with a notional value of $76.0 million Canadian dollars (CAD) and $71.5 million U.S. The swap calls for monthly exchanges from January 2008 through February 2014 with the Company paying CAD based on an annual rate of 17.16% of the notional amount and receiving U.S. dollars based on an annual rate of 17.4% of the notional amount. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. The Company had previously entered into forward contracts with monthly settlement dates ranging from January 2008 through March 2008. These contracts have a notional value of $2.2 million CAD and an average exchange rate of 1.13 CAD per U.S. dollar. The Company designated both the cross currency swap and the forward contracts as cash flow hedges.
Additionally, on June 1, 2007, the Company entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. The Company designated this forward contract as a net investment hedge.
At December 31, 2007, derivatives with a fair value of ($6.5) million were included in other liabilities. The unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives of ($6.5) million and $.01 million is recorded in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings as monthly payments are made and received on the foreign currency forwards, cross currency swap and interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2007, the Company estimates that during 2008 $971 thousand will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to earnings. Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 includes $1.7 million of net realized losses resulting from regular monthly settlements of foreign currency forward contracts. No such expense was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management compares the carrying value and the estimated fair value of our financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006:
Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had mortgage notes receivable with a carrying value, including related accrued interest, of $325.4 million and $76.1 million, respectively. The variable mortgage notes bear interest rates of LIBOR plus 350 basis points and the fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 9.25% to 15.00%, and their carrying value approximates fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash:
Due to the highly liquid nature of our short term investments, the carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the fair market values.
Accounts and notes receivable:
The carrying values of our accounts and notes receivable approximate the fair market value.
Derivative Instruments:
Derivative instruments are carried at their fair market value.
Debt Instruments:
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a carrying value of $130.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in variable rate debt outstanding, which management believes represents fair value. As described in Note 10, $114.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 has been converted to a fixed rate by interest rate swap agreements.
At December 31, 2007, the Company had a carrying value of $950.7 million in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 6.04%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using an estimated market rate of 5.92%, management estimates the fixed rate debt’s fair value to be approximately $954.0 million at December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had a carrying value of $650.3 million in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 6.1%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using an estimated market rate of 5.91%, management estimates the fixed rate debt’s fair value to be approximately $655.0 million at December 31, 2006.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short term maturities of these amounts.

Series C Convertible Preferred Shares
On December 22, 2006, the Company issued 5.4 million 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series C preferred shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $130.8 million, after expenses. The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series C preferred shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.4375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 5.75% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series C preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears, and began on January 15, 2007 with a pro-rated quarterly payment of $0.0359 per share. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series C preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. The Series C preferred shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. As of December 31, 2007, the Series C preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3523 common shares per Series C preferred share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $70.96 per common share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events including if the Company’s common dividend per share exceeds a quarterly threshold of $0.6875.
Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will under certain circumstances increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the Series C preferred shares becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring or surviving company.
On or after January 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, cause the Series C preferred shares to be automatically converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds 135% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C preferred shares.
Owners of the Series C preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to the owners in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares.
The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $1.4375 and $.0359 per Series C preferred share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. No cash dividends were paid on Series C preferred shares during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Series D Preferred Shares
On May 25, 2007, the Company issued 4.6 million 7.375% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series D preferred shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million, after expenses. The Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series D preferred shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series D preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears, and were first payable on July 16, 2007 with a pro-rated quarterly payment of $0.1844 per share. The Company may not redeem the Series D preferred shares before May 25, 2012, except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. On or after May 25, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series D preferred shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the date of redemption. The Series D preferred shares generally have no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of the Company’s other securities. Owners of the Series D preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. The net proceeds from this offering were used to redeem the Company’s 9.50% Series A preferred shares and to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $1.1062 per Series D preferred share for the year ended December 31, 2007. No cash dividends were paid on Series D preferred shares during the year ended December 31, 2006.

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect is antidilutive.
14. Equity Incentive Plan
All grants of common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan prior to May 9, 2007, and under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan on and after May 9, 2007. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 950,000 common shares and options to purchase common shares, subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital events, may be granted. At December 31, 2007, there were 934,240 shares available for grant under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
Share Options
Share options granted under both the 1997 Share Incentive Plan and the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of a common share at the date of grant. The options may be granted for any reasonable term, not to exceed 10 years, and for employees typically become exercisable at a rate of 20% per year over a five–year period. For Trustees, share options become exercisable upon issuance, however, the underlying shares cannot be sold within a one year period subsequent to exercise. The Company generally issues new common shares upon option exercise. A summary of the Company’s share option activity and related information is as follows:

The quarterly financial information for the periods ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2006 are different than as previously presented in the Company’s interim financial statements due to the implementation of SAB 108 as described in Note 19. Such implementation increased previously reported total revenue and net income by $343 thousand ($0.01 per share) for each of the periods then ended. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

19. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108)
In September 2006, the SEC released SAB 108. SAB 108 permits the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect of errors relating to prior years previously considered to be immaterial by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. SAB 108 also requires the adjustment of any prior quarterly financial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when the information is next presented. Such adjustments do not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SAB 108. In accordance with SAB 108, the Company increased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2006, and its rental revenue and net income for the first three quarters of 2006 for the recognition of straight-line rental revenues and net receivables as further described below. The Company considers these adjustments to be immaterial to prior years on both a qualitative and quantitative basis.
SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” requires rental income that is fixed and determinable to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the lease. Certain leases executed or acquired between 1998 and 2003 contain rental income provisions that are fixed and determinable yet straight line revenue recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 13 was not applied. Accordingly, the implementation of SAB 108 corrects the revenue recognition related to such leases. The cumulative effect of implementing SAB 108 is to increase shareholders’ equity as of January 1, 2006 by $7.7 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
20. Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had one theatre development project under construction for which it has agreed to finance the development costs. The theatre is expected to have a total of 12 screens and the development costs are expected to be approximately $13.2 million. Through December 31, 2007, the Company had not yet invested any funds in this project, but has commitments to fund the $13.2 million in improvements. Development costs will be advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, the Company can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the theatre to the operator at a pre-determined rate.
As discussed in Note 6, the Company held a 50% ownership interest in Suffolk which is developing additional retail square footage adjacent to one of the Company’s megaplex theatres in Suffolk, Virginia. The Company’s joint venture partner is the developer of the project and Suffolk has committed to pay the developer a development fee of $1.2 million of which $.7 million has been paid through December 31, 2007.
As further described in Note 4, the Company has provided a guarantee of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.0 million for which the Company earns a fee at an annual rate of 1.75% over the 30 year term of the bond. The Company evaluated this guarantee in connection with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45). Based on certain criteria, FIN 45 requires a guarantor to record an asset and a liability at inception. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $4.0 million as a deferred asset included in accounts receivable and $4.0 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 which represents management’s best estimate of the fair value of the guarantee at inception which will be realized over the term of the guarantee. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to this guarantee because payment by the Company is not probable.
The Company has certain unfunded commitments related to its mortgage note investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had four mortgage notes receivable with unfunded commitments totaling approximately $99.9 million. If such commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
21. Subsequent Events
On January 11, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $17.5 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Garland, Texas. The mortgage loan bears interest at 6.19%, matures on February 1, 2018, and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $127 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of $11.6 million.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors or fraud. Also,  projections of any evaluation of  effectiveness  to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become  inadequate  because of changes in  conditions, or that the degree of or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees
Entertainment Properties Trust:
We have audited Entertainment Properties Trust’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
