Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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 Companys properties are located in the United States
and Canada.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date
of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2008.
The Company consolidates certain entities in cases where 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 FIN 46R, or does not have effective control,
but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited
consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2008.
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 $23.0 million and $20.8 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. In addition, most of the Companys 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 $0.9 million and $1.0 million were
recognized during
10
Table of Contents
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
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. No termination fees were
recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level
yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease
inception represent managements initial estimates of fair value of the leased assets at the
expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating
residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future
real estate values. The estimated unguaranteed residual value is reviewed on an annual basis. The
Company evaluates the collectibility of its direct financing lease receivable to determine whether
it is impaired. A receivable 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 receivable 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 receivables effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying
collateral if the receivable is collateralized.
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 June 30, 2008
as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to a number of AMC megaplex
theatres. A substantial portion of the Companys rental revenues (approximately $48.9 million, or
49%, and $47.4 million, or 53%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively)
result from the rental payments by AMC under the leases, or its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc.
(AMCE), as the guarantor of AMCs obligations under the leases. AMCE had total assets of $3.8
billion and $4.1 billion, total liabilities of $2.7 billion and $2.7 billion and total
stockholders equity of $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion at April 3, 2008 and March 29, 2007,
respectively. AMCE had net earnings of $43.4 million for the fifty-three weeks ended April 3, 2008
and $134.1 million for the fifty-two weeks ended March 29, 2007. AMCE has publicly held debt and
accordingly, its consolidated financial information is publicly available.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, approximately $19.5 million, or 15%,
and $16.6 million, or 15%, of total revenue was derived from the Companys four entertainment
retail centers in Ontario, Canada. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
approximately $28.2 million, or 21%, and $21.9 million, or 20%, of our total revenue was derived
from the Companys four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada combined with the mortgage
financing interest related to the Companys mortgage note receivable held in Canada and initially
funded on June 1, 2005. The Companys wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian
entertainment retail centers, third party debt and mortgage note receivable represent approximately
$252.5 million or 21% and $233.3 million or 23% of the Companys net assets as of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively.
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 replaced the 1997 Share Incentive Plan.
11
Table of Contents
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. 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 $2.0 million and $1.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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. Share options granted to employees vest over a
period of five years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. Share options granted to Trustees vest immediately but shares
issued upon exercise cannot be sold or transferred for a period of one year from the grant date.
Share option expense for Trustees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the year of service
by the Trustees.
The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $225 thousand and $216 thousand, respectively. The following
assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates:
risk-free interest rate of 3.2% to 3.5% and 4.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, dividend yield of 6.7% and 5.2% to 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Companys common shares
of 23.2% and 19.5% to 19.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 Companys publicly traded shares.
Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees
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 (three or five years). Total expense recognized related to all nonvested shares was $1.6
million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Shares Issued to Trustees
The Company issues shares to Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. These shares vest
immediately but may not be sold for a period of one year from the grant date. 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 $173 thousand and $113 thousand for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4. Additional Investment in Mortgage Note
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company invested an
additional $5.0 million Canadian ($5.1 million U.S.) in the mortgage note receivable from
Metropolis Limited Partnership (the Partnership) related to the construction of Toronto Life
Square, a 13 level entertainment retail center in downtown Toronto. Consistent with the previous
advances on this project, this advance has a five year stated term and bears interest at 15%. The
carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2008 was $114.9 million Canadian
($112.7 million U.S.), including related accrued interest receivable of $34.6 million Canadian
($33.9 million U.S.). A bank has provided first mortgage construction financing to the Partnership
totaling approximately $112 million as of June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company has posted $7.6 million irrevocable stand-by letters of credit
related to the Toronto Life Square project. The letters of credit are expected to be cancelled or
drawn upon during the remainder of 2008 in conjunction with the completion and permanent financing
of the Toronto Life Square project. Interest accrues on these outstanding letters of credit at a
rate of 12% (15% if drawn upon).
Additionally during the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership exercised its option to
extend by six months the 25% principal payment and all accrued interest to date that was due on May
31, 2008 to November 30, 2008. The Partnership can also prepay the note (in full only, including
all accrued interest) at any time 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.

5. Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures
At June 30, 2008, the Company had a 21.0% and 21.9% investment interest in two unconsolidated real
estate joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. The Company accounts for
its investment in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.
The Company recognized income of $262 and $244 (in thousands) from its investment in the
Atlantic-EPR I joint venture during the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
Company also received distributions from Atlantic-EPR I of $297 and $276 (in thousands) during the
first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. Unaudited condensed financial information for

The joint venture agreements for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II allow the Companys 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 common shares of the Company or, at the
discretion of the Company, the cash value of those shares as defined in each of the joint venture
agreements. Atlantic gave the Company notice that effective December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 they
wanted to exchange a portion of their ownership in Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II. In January
of 2008, the Company paid Atlantic cash of $95 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership
of 0.5% for Atlantic-EPR I. In April of 2008, the Company paid Atlantic cash of $38 (in thousands)
in exchange for additional ownership of 0.2% of Atlantic EPR I. In July of 2008, the Company paid
Atlantic cash of $79 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 0.7% for
14
Table of Contents
Atlantic EPR II. These exchanges did not impact total partners equity in either Atlantic-EPR I or Atlantic-EPR
II.
As discussed in Note 12, on April 2, 2008, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
the remaining 50% ownership interest in CS Fund I and CS Fund I became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Prior to the date of this acquisition, CS Fund I was accounted for as an unconsolidated real estate
joint venture and from January 1, 2008 to April 1, 2008, the Company recognized income of $1.1
million and received distributions of $1.3 million related to this investment.
6. Mortgage Notes Payable
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.
On March 13, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that holds the Companys vineyard and
winery assets entered into a $65.0 million term loan and revolving credit facility that is
non-recourse to the Company. The credit facility is evidenced by a Credit Agreement dated as of
March 4, 2008 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% on loans secured by real property and LIBOR
plus 1.75% on loans secured by fixtures and equipment. The Credit Agreement provides for an
aggregate advance rate of 65% based on the lesser of cost or appraised value. Term loans secured
by real property may be drawn through March 14, 2010. These loans are amortized over a 25-year
period and mature on the earlier of ten years after disbursement or the end of the related real
propertys lease term. The equipment and fixture loans have a maturity date that is the earlier of
ten years or the end of the related lease term and require full principal amortization over the
term of the loan. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature whereby, subject to lender
approval, the Company may obtain additional revolving credit and term loan commitments in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million. The initial disbursement under the Credit
Agreement consisted of two term loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $9.5
million and maturity dates of December 1, 2017 and March 5, 2018. The Company simultaneously
entered into two interest rate swap agreements that fixed the interest rates at a weighted average
of 5.52% on these loans. Additionally, on March 24, 2008, the Company obtained $3.2 million of
equipment loans that mature on December 1, 2017.
The net proceeds from the above-referenced loans were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness
under the Companys unsecured revolving credit facility.
7. Derivative Instruments
On March 13, 2008, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest
rates on the outstanding term loans described in Note 6 with an initial principal balance of $9.5
million. At June 30, 2008, these agreements have outstanding notional amounts of $4.6 million and
$4.8 million, termination dates of December 1, 2017 and March 5, 2018 and fixed rates of 5.51% and
5.53%.
Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes $509 thousand and $331
thousand, respectively, of net realized losses resulting from regular monthly settlements of
foreign
currency forward contracts. Additionally, interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30,
2008 includes $560 thousand of net realized losses resulting from regular monthly settlements of
interest rate swaps.

8. Fair Value Disclosures
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing
accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value
measurements of reported balances.
SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering
market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained
from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within
Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entitys own assumptions about market
participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted
prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted
prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at
commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which
are typically based on an entitys own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market
activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs
from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within
which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment,
and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Derivative financial instruments
Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps
to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is
determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on
the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the
derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including
interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. To comply with the
provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately
reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys nonperformance risk in
the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the
effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable
credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives
fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its
derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
16
Table of Contents
likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2008, the Company
has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall
valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are
not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has
determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy.
The table below presents the Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of June 30, 2008, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those
measurements fall.

The Company does not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level
3) as of June 30, 2008.
In February 2008, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of 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. Accordingly, the Companys adoption of this standard in 2008 was limited to
financial assets and liabilities, which affects the valuation of the Companys derivative
contracts.

10. Equity Incentive Plans
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 June 30, 2008, there were 721,216 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 fiveyear period. For Trustees, share options
become exercisable upon issuance, however, the underlying shares cannot be sold within a one year
period subsequent to the grant date. The Company generally issues new common shares upon option
exercise. A summary of the Companys share option activity and related information is as follows:

11. Concurrent Issuance of Series E Preferred Shares and Common Shares
On April 2, 2008, the Company issued 3,450,000 shares (including the exercise of the over-allotment
option of 450,000 shares) of 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (Series E
preferred shares) in a registered public offering at a purchase price of $25.00 per share resulting
in net proceeds of approximately $83.4 million, after underwriting discounts and expenses. The
Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series E preferred shares from the date of original
issuance in the amount of $2.25 per share each year, which is equivalent to 9.0% of the $25
liquidation preference per share. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series E
preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Companys REIT status. The Series
E preferred shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory
redemption. The Series E preferred shares are convertible, at the holders option, into the
Companys common shares at an initial conversion rate of 0.4512 common shares per Series E
preferred share, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $55.41 per common share.
This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events including if
the Companys common share dividend exceeds a certain quarterly threshold which will initially be
set at $0.84 per common share.
Also, on April 2, 2008, the Company issued pursuant to a registered public offering of 2,415,000
common shares (including the exercise of the over-allotment option of 315,000 shares) at a purchase
price of $48.18 per share. Total net proceeds to the Company after underwriting discounts and
expenses were approximately $111.2 million.
The proceeds from both of the above public offerings were used to pay down the Companys unsecured
revolving credit facility, to fund the CS Fund I purchase described in Note 12 and remaining net
proceeds were invested in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities
which are consistent with the qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
12. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions
On April 2, 2008, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the remaining 50.0%
ownership interest in CS Fund I for a total purchase price of approximately $39.5 million from its
partner, JERIT Fund I Member. Upon completion of this transaction, CS Fund I became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The member purchase agreement provides that the Company shall pay JERIT
Fund I Member a monthly asset management fee of 1.875% of the monthly rent for the six month period
following the closing. The membership purchase agreement also contains an option pursuant to which
JERIT Fund I Member may re-acquire its 50% interest in CS Fund I within six months after the
acquisition of such interest by the Company. At the time of the acquisition, CS Fund I owned 12
public charter school properties located in Nevada, Arizona, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, Michigan,
Florida and Washington D.C. These schools are leased under a long-term triple net master lease
which has been classified as a direct financing lease as described in Note 13.
On June 9, 2008, the Company acquired, through VinREIT, LLC (VinREIT), four wineries and two
vineyards and simultaneously leased these properties to Eight Estates Fine Wines, LLC (DBA Ascentia
Wine Estates). The acquisition price for these properties was approximately $116.5 million
and the properties are leased under long-term triple-net leases. The properties total 936 acres
including 565 acres of vineyards. Three wineries and two vineyards are located in California with
an additional winery located in Washington.
The Company owns 96% of the membership interests of VinREIT and accordingly, the financial
21
Table of Contents
statements of VinREIT have been consolidated into the Companys financial statements. The
Companys partner in VinREIT is Global Wine Partners (U.S.), LLC (GWP). GWP provides certain
consulting services to VinREIT in connection with the acquisition, development, administration and
marketing of vineyard properties and wineries. GWP is entitled to receive a 1% origination fee on
winery and vineyard investments and 4% of the annual cash flow of VinREIT after a charge for debt
service. GWP may receive additional amounts upon certain events and after certain hurdle rates of
return are achieved by the Company. Accordingly, the Company paid $92 thousand in origination fees
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and minority interest expense related to VinREIT was $82
thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing GWPs portion of the annual cash
flow.
In 2008, Donald Brain, the brother of the Companys Chief Executive Officer, acquired a 33.33%
interest in GWP. The Companys Board of Trustees was informed of Donald Brains acquisition of
such interest, and affirmed VinREITs business relationship with GWP. There was no modification to
the operating agreement of VinREIT, and future amendments or modifications to the operating
agreement or relationship with GWP will require the Board of Trustees approval.
On June 17, 2008, the Company acquired, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, 11 public charter school
properties from Imagine Schools, Inc. Additionally, the Company funded expansions at two of the
public charter school properties previously acquired. The acquisition price for the properties was
approximately $82.3 million and the properties are leased under a long-term triple-net master
lease. The transaction was executed as part of a $200 million option agreement with Imagine
Schools, and leaves approximately $40 million available for acquisitions prior to December 2009.
The 11 new properties are located in Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina and the
two expansions are located in Arizona and Nevada. The master lease is classified as a direct
financing lease as described in Note 13.
13. Investment in a Direct Financing Lease
As discussed in Note 12, investment in a direct financing lease relates to the Companys master
lease of 23 public charter school properties. Investment in a direct financing lease, net
represents estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets and net unpaid rentals, less
related deferred income. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of investment in a
direct financing lease, net as of June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

15. Other Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had one theatre development project in Glendora, California 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 June 30, 2008, the Company has invested $5.6 million in this project, and has
commitments to fund approximately $7.6 million of additional improvements. Development costs are
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
23
Table of Contents
construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the theatre to the operator at pre-determined rates.
Additionally as of June 30, 2008, the Company had one winemaking and storage facility project under
development for which it has agreed to finance the development costs. Through June 30, 2008, the
Company has invested approximately $2.7 million in this project for the purchase of land in Sonoma
County, California, and has commitments to fund approximately $5.8 million of additional
improvements. Development costs are 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 facility to the operator at pre-determined rates.
The Company held a 50% ownership interest in Suffolk Retail LLC (Suffolk) which is developing
additional retail square footage adjacent to one of the Companys megaplex theatres in Suffolk,
Virginia. The Companys 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 $1.0 million has been
paid through June 30, 2008.
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, Guarantors 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
approximately $4.0 million as a deferred asset included in accounts receivable and approximately
$4.0 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 which represents managements 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
June 30, 2008, the Company had three mortgage notes receivable with unfunded commitments totaling
approximately $80.3 million. If such commitments are funded in the future, interest will be
charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
16. Subsequent Events
On July 11, 2008, the Company paid in full its mortgage note payable which had an outstanding
balance of principal and interest totaling $90.6 million. This mortgage note payable was secured
by eight theatre properties and required monthly principal and interest payments of $689 thousand.
The maturity date of the mortgage note payable was July 11, 2028. The mortgage agreement contained
a hyper-amortization feature, in which the principal payment schedule was rapidly accelerated,
and the Companys principal and interest payments were substantially increased, if the balance was
not paid in full on the anticipated prepayment date of July 11, 2008.

Item 2. Managements 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements
included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 managements 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 Item 1A, Risk Factors
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on
February 26, 2008, and, to the extent applicable, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Our principal business objective is to be the nations leading destination entertainment,
entertainment-related, recreation and specialty real estate company by continuing to develop,
acquire or finance high-quality properties. As of June 30, 2008, our total assets exceeded
$2.4 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 29 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. As of
June 30, 2008, we had invested approximately $29.8 million in development land and construction in
progress for real-estate development and approximately $356.8 million (including accrued interest)
in mortgage financing for entertainment, recreational and specialty properties.
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 typically
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 Board of 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 revolving credit facilities, term loan facilities and 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 June 30, 2008,
we have also entered into four joint ventures formed to own and lease single properties and have
provided mortgage note financing as
25
Table of Contents
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 the remainder of
2008.
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 in cases where 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 (FIN 46R). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which we are not
the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN 46R, 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.
Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level
yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease
inception represent managements initial estimates of fair value of the leased assets at the
expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating
residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future
real estate values. The estimated unguaranteed residual value is reviewed on an annual basis. The
Company evaluates the collectibility of its direct financing lease receivable to determine whether
it is impaired. A receivable 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 receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is
calculated by comparing the recorded
26
Table of Contents
investment to the value determined by discounting the expected
future cash flows at the receivables effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying
collateral if the receivable is collateralized.
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:
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 the first six months of 2008. 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 the
first six months of 2008.
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.
27
Table of Contents
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
loans 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 January 11, 2008, we 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.
On March 13, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary that holds our vineyard and winery assets entered into
a $65.0 million term loan and revolving credit facility. The credit facility is evidenced by a
Credit Agreement dated as of March 4, 2008 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.5% on loans secured
by real property and LIBOR plus 1.75% on loans secured by fixtures and equipment. The Credit
Agreement provides for an aggregate advance rate of 65% based on the lesser of cost or appraised
value. Term loans secured by real property may be drawn through March 14, 2010. These loans are
amortized over a 25-year period and mature on the earlier of ten years after disbursement or the
maturity of the related real property lease. The equipment and fixture loans have a maturity date
that is the earlier of ten years or the maturity of the related lease and require full principal
amortization over the term of the loan. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature
whereby, subject to lender approval, we may obtain additional revolving credit and term loan
commitments in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million. The initial disbursement
under the Credit Agreement consisted of two
term loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $9.5 million and maturity dates of
December 1, 2017 and March 5, 2018. We simultaneously entered into two interest rate swap
agreements that fixed the interest rates at a weighted average of 5.52% on these loans.
Additionally, on March 24, 2008, we obtained $3.2 million of equipment loans that mature on
December 1, 2017.
The net proceeds from the above loans were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness under our
unsecured revolving credit facility.
Additionally, on July 11, 2008, we paid in full our mortgage note payable which had an outstanding
balance of principal and interest totaling $90.6 million. This mortgage note payable was secured
by
28
Table of Contents
eight theatre properties and required monthly principal and interest payments of $689 thousand.
The maturity date of the mortgage note payable was July 11, 2028. The mortgage agreement contained
a hyper-amortization feature, in which the principal payment schedule was rapidly accelerated,
and our principal and interest payments were substantially increased, if the balance was not paid
in full on the anticipated prepayment date of July 11, 2008.
Issuance of Series E Preferred Shares and Common Shares
On April 2, 2008, we issued 3,450,000 (including exercise of over-allotment option of 450,000
shares) 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (Series E preferred shares) at
$25.00 per share in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $83.4 million,
after underwriting discounts and expenses. We will pay cumulative dividends on the Series E
preferred shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $2.25 per share each year,
which is equivalent to 9.0% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. We do not have the right
to redeem the Series E preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve our REIT
status. The Series E preferred shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any
sinking fund or mandatory redemption. The Series E preferred shares are convertible, at the
holders option, into our common shares at an initial conversion rate of 0.4512 common shares per
Series E preferred share, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $55.41 per common
share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events
including if our common share dividend exceeds a certain quarterly threshold which will initially
be set at $0.84 per common share.
Additionally, on April 2, 2008, we issued 2,415,000 common shares (including exercise of
over-allotment option of 315,000 shares) at $48.18 per share in a registered public offering.
Total net proceeds after underwriting discounts and expenses were approximately $111.2 million.
The proceeds from both of the above offerings were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit
facility, to fund the CS Fund I membership interest purchase (as described in Note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and the remaining net
proceeds were invested in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities
which are consistent with our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan
On June 26, 2008, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No.
333-151978) covering our revised Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (the
Plan). The Plan supersedes and replaces our prior dividend reinvestment and direct share
purchase plan. Pursuant to the Plan we may issue from time to time on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Plan up to 6,000,000 common shares at prices to be determined as described in the
Plan. We intend to use the proceeds from the common shares sold pursuant to the Plan for general
corporate purposes.
Investments
On February 29, 2008, we loaned $10.0 million to Louis Cappelli. Through his related interests,
Louis Cappelli is the developer and minority interest partner of our New Roc and White Plains
entertainment retail centers located in the New York metropolitan area. The note bears interest at
10% and matures on February 28, 2009. As part of this transaction, we also received an option to
purchase 50% of Louis Cappellis interests (or Louis Cappellis related interests) in three other
projects in the New York metropolitan area. These projects are expected to cost approximately
$300.0 million.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, we funded approximately $18.6 million for
development of Schlitterbahn Vacation Village, a water-park anchored entertainment village in
29
Table of Contents
Kansas City, Kansas. We have committed to fund $175.0 million on this project and have funded
$114.2 million through June 30, 2008.
On April 2, 2008, we acquired the remaining 50.0% ownership interest in CS Fund I for a total
purchase price of approximately $39.5 million from our partner, JERIT Fund I Member. Upon
completion of this transaction, CS Fund I became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
member purchase agreement provides that we shall pay JERIT Fund I Member a monthly asset management
fee of 1.875% of the monthly rent for the six month period following the closing. The membership
purchase agreement also contains an option pursuant to which JERIT Fund I Member may re-acquire its
50% interest in CS Fund I within six months after the acquisition of such interest by us. At the
time of this acquisition, CS Fund I owned 12 public charter school properties located in Nevada,
Arizona, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, Michigan, Florida and Washington D.C. These schools are leased
under a long-term triple net master lease which has been classified as a direct financing lease as
described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
On June 9, 2008, we acquired, through VinREIT, LLC (VinREIT), four wineries and two vineyards and
simultaneously leased these properties to Eight Estates Fine Wines, LLC (DBA Ascentia Wine
Estates). The acquisition price for these properties was approximately $116.5 million and the
properties are leased under long-term triple-net leases. The properties total 936 acres including
565 acres of vineyards. Three wineries and two vineyards are located in California with an
additional winery located in Washington.
We own 96% of the membership interests of VinREIT and accordingly, the financial statements of
VinREIT have been consolidated into our financial statements. Our partner in VinREIT is Global
Wine Partners (U.S.), LLC (GWP). GWP provides certain consulting services to VinREIT in connection
with the acquisition, development, administration and marketing of vineyard properties and
wineries. GWP is entitled to receive a 1% originiation fee on winery and vineyard investments and
4% of the annual cash flow of VinREIT after a charge for debt service. GWP may receive additional
amounts upon certain events and after certain hurdle rates of return are achieved by us.
Accordingly, the Company paid $92 thousand in origination fees for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and minority interest expense related to VinREIT was $82 thousand for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, representing GWPs portion of the annual cash flow.
On June 17, 2008, we acquired 11 public charter school properties from Imagine Schools, Inc.
Additionally, we funded expansions at two of the public charter school properties previously
acquired. The acquisition price for the properties was approximately $82.3 million and the
properties are leased under a long-term triple-net master lease. The transaction was executed as
part of a $200 million option agreement with Imagine Schools, and leaves approximately $40 million
available for acquisitions prior to December 2009. The 11 new properties are located in Georgia,
Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina and the two expansions are located in Arizona and
Nevada. The master
lease is classified as a direct financing lease as described in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we invested an additional $5.0 million Canadian ($5.1
million U.S.) in the mortgage note receivable from Metropolis Limited Partnership (the Partnership)
related to the construction of Toronto Life Square, a 13 level entertainment retail center in
downtown Toronto. Consistent with the previous advances on this project, this advance has a five
year stated term and bears interest at 15%. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at
June 30, 2008 was $114.9 million Canadian ($112.7 million U.S.), including related accrued interest
receivable of
30
Table of Contents
$34.6 million Canadian ($33.9 million U.S.). A bank has provided first mortgage
construction financing to the Partnership totaling approximately $112 million as of June 30, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, we have posted $7.6 million irrevocable stand-by letters of credit related to
the Toronto Life Square project. The letters of credit are expected to be cancelled or drawn upon
during the remainder of 2008 in conjunction with the completion and permanent financing of the
Toronto Life Square project. Interest accrues on these outstanding letters of credit at a rate of 12% (15%
if drawn upon).
Additionally during the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership exercised its option to
extend by six months the 25% principal payment and all accrued interest to date that was due on May
31, 2008 to November 30, 2008. The Partnership can also prepay the note (in full only, including
all accrued interest) at any time 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, we
have 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 should we elect to become an
owner.
Sale of Property
On June 23, 2008, we sold a parcel of land in Powder Springs, Georgia for $1.1 million. The land
parcel was previously leased under a ground lease. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on sale of
real estate of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For further detail on this
disposition, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
Derivative Instruments
As further discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, on March 13, 2008, we have entered into two interest rate swap agreements. These
agreements fixed the interest rates of $9.5 million in term loans funded in March of 2008 at a
weighted average of 5.52%.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007
Rental revenue was $49.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $45.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The $4.2 million increase resulted primarily
from the acquisitions and developments completed in 2007 and 2008 and base rent increases on
existing properties. Percentage rents of $0.3 million and $0.6 million were recognized during the
three months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Straight-line rents of $1.1 million were recognized
during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
$4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. These tenant reimbursements arise from the
operations of our retail centers. Of the $0.9 million increase, $0.4 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 other tenant
reimbursements, primarily driven by the expansion and leasing of the gross leasable area at our
retail centers in Ontario, Canada.

Table of Contents
Mortgage and other financing income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $13.1 million
compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The $5.9 million increase
relates to the increased real estate lending activities subsequent to the second quarter of 2007
and our investment in a direct financing lease as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our property operating expense totaled $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. These property operating
expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. Of the $0.8 million increase, $0.5
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 other property operating expenses primarily at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada.
Other expense totaled $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Of the $0.3 million decrease, $0.2 million is
due to less expense recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts during the
three months ended June 30, 2008. The remaining decrease of $0.1 million is due to a decrease in
expense from a family bowling center in Westminster, Colorado operated through a wholly-owned
taxable REIT subsidiary.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $1.1
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 professional fees
and franchise taxes. In addition, general and administrative expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 includes $0.4 million in costs associated with terminated transactions.
Our net interest expense increased by $1.8 million to $17.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008 from $15.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $0.7 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 an 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, direct financing lease
and mortgage notes receivable.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The $1.2 million increase
resulted primarily from our real estate acquisitions completed in 2007 and 2008.
Minority interest totaled $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and resulted
primarily from the consolidation of a VIE in which our variable interest is debt and the VIE has
sufficient equity to cover its cumulative net losses incurred subsequent to our loan transaction.
Additionally, there was $0.1 million in minority interest due to our VinREIT operations as
discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. There was no minority interest for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Loss from discontinued operations totaled $0.02 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008
compared to income from discontinued operations of $0.8 million for the three months ended June
32
Table of Contents
30, 2007. The $0.78 million decrease is due primarily to the recognition of $0.7 million in
development fees related to a parcel adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida during
the three months ended June 30, 2007. The development rights, along with two income-producing
tenancies, were sold to a developer group in June of 2007.
The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 was due to the sale of a land parcel in Powder Springs, Georgia in June of
2008. The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $3.2 million for the three
months ended
June 30, 2007 was due to the sale of a parcel that included two leased properties adjacent to our
megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida.
Preferred dividend requirements for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $7.6 million compared
to $5.2 million for the same period in 2007. The $2.4 million increase is due to the issuance of
3.5 million Series E convertible preferred shares in April of 2008 and the issuance of the Series D
preferred shares in May of 2007. This was partially offset by the redemption of 2.3 million Series
A preferred shares in May of 2007.
Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007
Rental revenue was $99.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $88.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $10.6 million increase resulted primarily from the
acquisitions and developments completed in 2007 and 2008 and base rent increases on existing
properties. Percentage rents of $0.9 million and $1.0 million were recognized during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Straight-line rents of $1.9 million and $2.1
million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
$7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. These tenant reimbursements arise from the
operations of our retail centers. Of the $3.0 million increase, $1.7 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.
Mortgage and other financing income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $23.5 million
compared to $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $12.9 million increase
relates to the increased real estate lending activities subsequent to the second quarter of 2007
and our investment in a direct financing lease as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated
financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our property operating expense totaled $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. These property operating expenses
arise from the operations of our retail centers. Of the $3.3 million increase, $1.9 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 other property
operating expenses, primarily at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase of $2.3 million is
primarily 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 restricted shares to management, as well as increases in professional fees
and franchise taxes. In addition, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June
30, 2008 includes $0.7 million in costs associated with terminated transactions.
Our net interest expense increased by $7.8 million to $34.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008 from $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Approximately $2.4 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, direct financing lease
and mortgage notes receivable.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $3.6 million increase
resulted primarily from real estate acquisitions completed in 2007 and 2008.
Equity in income from joint ventures totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $1.1 million increase
resulted from our investment in a 50% ownership interest of CS Fund I on October 30, 2007. We
acquired the remaining 50% ownership of CS Fund I on April 2, 2008 as discussed in Note 12 to the
consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Minority interests totaled $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and resulted
primarily from the consolidation of a VIE in which our variable interest is debt and the VIE has
sufficient equity to cover its cumulative net losses incurred subsequent to our loan transaction.
Additionally, there was $0.1 million in minority interest due to our VinREIT operations as
discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. There was no minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

compared to income from discontinued operations of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The $0.77 million decrease is primarily due to the recognition of $0.7 million in
development fees for the six months ended June 30, 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.
The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $0.1 million for the six months

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $12.2 million at June 30, 2008. In addition, we had restricted cash
of $15.2 million at June 30, 2008. Of the restricted cash at June 30, 2008, $8.8 million relates
to cash held for our borrowers debt service reserve for a mortgage note receivable and the balance
represents deposits required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and
capital improvements.
Mortgage Debt, Credit Facilities and Term Loan
As of June 30, 2008, we had total debt outstanding of $1.2 billion. As of June 30, 2008, $1.1
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 $1.1 billion of fixed rate mortgage debt includes $123.4 million of LIBOR
based debt that has been converted to fixed rate with interest rate swaps as further described
below.
At June 30, 2008, we had $85.0 million in 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 but can be extended for one additional year. 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 $119.1 million
term loan, that are recourse obligations of the Company. As of June 30, 2008, our total
availability under the unsecured revolving credit facility was $35.9 million. Subsequent to June
30, 2008, we simultaneously added eight theatre properties to the unsecured revolving credit
facility borrowing base and used proceeds from the unsecured revolving credit facility to pay off a
mortgage note payable. The eight theatre properties were previously used as security for the
mortgage note payable as discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. After the properties were added and the mortgage note payable was
paid in full, our total availability under the unsecured revolving credit facility increased by
approximately $16 million.
On March 13, 2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary that holds our vineyards and winery assets entered
into a $65.0 million term loan and revolving credit facility that is non-recourse to the Company.
The credit facility is evidenced by a Credit Agreement dated as of March 4, 2008 and bears interest
at LIBOR plus 1.5% on loans secured by real property and LIBOR plus 1.75% on loans secured by
fixtures and equipment. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature whereby, subject to
lender approval, the Company may obtain additional revolving credit and term loan commitments in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35.0 million. The initial disbursements under the Credit
Agreement occurred in March of 2008 and consisted of two term loans in the aggregate principal
amount of approximately $9.5 million with maturity dates of December 1, 2017 and March 5, 2018,
respectively, and we simultaneously entered into interest rate swap agreements that fixed the
interest rates on these loans at a weighted average of 5.52%.
Additionally, on March 24, 2008, the
Company obtained $3.2 million of equipment loans that mature on December 1, 2017.
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 loans 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.

Certain of our long-term debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to
financial and operating performance. At June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all restrictive
covenants.
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 June 30, 2008, our leverage ratio was 48%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of
our total market capitalization at June 30, 2008 was 39%. 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 $3.1 billion as follows
at June 30, 2008:
| Common shares outstanding of 30,637,438 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $49.44 per share, or $1.5 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; | ||
| Aggregate liquidation value of our Series E preferred shares of $86 million and | ||
| Total long-term debt of $1.2 billion |
Our interest coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 3.2 times and 3.4
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 companys 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. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) liquidity measures. The following table shows
the calculation of our interest coverage ratios (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 2.3 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 companys 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. This information should not be considered as an
alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures. The following table shows the calculation of our fixed
charge coverage ratios (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

Our debt service coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 2.4 times and

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 $63.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $57.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007. Net cash used in investing activities was $306.2 million and $237.1 million for the
six months
38
Table of Contents
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $239.9
million and $178.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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.
We have also posted $7.6 million of irrevocable stand-by letters of credit related to the Toronto
Life Square.
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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had one theatre project under construction at June 30, 2008. The property has been pre-leased to
the prospective tenant under a long-term triple-net lease and is located in Glendora, California.
The cost of development is paid by us in periodic draws. The related timing and amount of rental
payments to be received by us from tenants under the leases correspond to the timing and amount of
funding by us of the cost of development. The theatre will have a total of 12 screens and total
development costs will be approximately $13.2 million. Through June 30, 2008, we have invested
$5.6 million in this project and have commitments to fund an additional $7.6 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.
Additionally as of June 30, 2008, we had one winemaking and storage facility project under
development for which we have agreed to finance the development costs. Through June 30, 2008, we
have invested approximately $2.7 million in this project for the purchase of land in Sonoma County,
California, and have commitments to fund approximately $5.8 million of additional improvements.
Development costs are advanced by using periodic draws. If we determine that construction is not
being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue
funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the facility to the operator at pre-determined
rates.
We held a 50% ownership interest in Suffolk Retail LLC (Suffolk) which is developing additional
retail square footage adjacent to one of our megaplex theatres in Suffolk, Virginia. Our 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 $1.0 million has been paid through June 30, 2008.

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, Guarantors 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 approximately
$4.0 million as a deferred asset included in accounts receivable and approximately $4.0 million in
other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 and 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 June
30, 2008, we had three mortgage notes receivable with unfunded commitments totaling approximately
$80.3 million. If such commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates
consistent with the existing investments.
At June 30, 2008, we had a 21.0% and 21.9% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate
joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II 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 $262 and
$244 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture during the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recognized income of $163 and $153 (in thousands)
from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR II joint venture during the six months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. Condensed financial information for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II
joint ventures is included in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 common shares of the Company or, at our discretion, the cash
value of those shares as defined in each of the joint venture agreements. Atlantic gave us notice
that effective December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 they wanted to exchange a
portion of their ownership in Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II. In January of 2008, we paid
Atlantic cash of $95 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of .5% for Atlantic-EPR I.
In April of 2008, we paid Atlantic cash of $38 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership
of .2% of Atlantic EPR I. In July of 2008, we paid Atlantic cash of $79 (in thousands) in exchange
for additional ownership of .7% of Atlantic EPR I. These exchanges did not impact total partners
equity in either Atlantic-EPR I or Atlantic-EPR II.
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
40
Table of Contents
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 5.75% Series
C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would
result from the conversion of our 9.0% Series E cumulative 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
because the effect is anti-dilutive. However, because a conversion of the 5.75% Series C
cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO per share for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, these adjustments have been made in the calculation of diluted FFO per
share for these periods.
The following table summarizes our FFO, FFO per share and certain other financial information for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited, in thousands, except per share
information):

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2007, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157) as it relates to the 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
42
Table of Contents
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. We have elected not to use the fair value
measurement provisions of Statement No. 159 for any additional financial assets and liabilities
that were not otherwise measured at fair value.
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.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 amends and
expands SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161
requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose their fair value and their gains and
losses in tabular format and information about credit-risk related features in derivative
agreements, counterparty credit risk and objectives and strategies for using derivative
instruments. The new statement will be applied prospectively for periods beginning after November
15, 2008. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 in the first quarter of 2009.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of
financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. SFAS 162 will be effective 60 days
after the Security and Exchange Commission approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Boards
amendments to AU Section 411. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 162 will have
an impact on its financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP
EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are
participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of
earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial
43
Table of Contents
statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier
adoption is prohibited. The Company is required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1 in the first quarter of
2009 and is currently evaluating the impact that FSP EITF 03-6-1 will have on its financial
statements.
Item 3. 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 with $85 million outstanding as of June 30, 2008, a $65
million term loan and revolving credit facility with $12.6 million outstanding as of June 30, 2008
and a $119.1 million term loan, all of which bear interest at a floating rate. As further
described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
the $12.6 million term loans include $9.4 million of LIBOR based debt that has been converted to a
fixed rate with two interest rate swaps and the $119.1 million term loan includes $114.0 million of
LIBOR based debt that has been converted to a fixed rate with two interest rate swaps.
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.
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 $80.4 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
44
Table of Contents
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.
We have not yet hedged any of our net investment in the CAD denominated mortgage receivable or its
expected CAD denominated interest income due to the mortgage notes maturity in 2008 and our
underlying option to buy a 50% interest in the borrower entity.
Item 4. 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 provide reasonable assurance 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of the
fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Other than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business, we are not presently involved in any litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any litigation
threatened against us or our properties, which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
See Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and, to
the extent applicable, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,
2008 for a detailed discussion of the risk factors affecting the Company. The information below
provides updates to the previously disclosed risk factors and should be read in conjunction with
the risk factors and information previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to the
extent applicable, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Our chief financial officer as a result of discussions
with the SEC has submitted an offer of settlement with respect to prior
employment at American Italian Pasta Company
Mark Peterson, our Chief Financial Officer, was previously employed by American Italian Pasta
Company (AIPC) where he served as Vice President-Accounting and Finance immediately prior to
joining us in 2004. AIPC has announced that it is the subject of an investigation by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Based on discussions with the staff of the SEC, on July
14, 2008 Mr. Peterson submitted an Offer of Settlement (the Offer) to the SEC with respect to his
prior employment at AIPC. The subject matter of the SECs investigation and the Offer do not
relate to Mr. Petersons service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Without admitting or
denying any charges that may be brought against him, Mr. Peterson has offered to consent to an
order to cease and desist from causing any violations of the SECs reporting requirements, and
books and records and internal accounting controls provisions, under Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A)
and (B) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 thereunder. Mr. Peterson
has also offered to pay a $25,000 civil monetary fine. The Offer does not involve any charge that
Mr. Peterson was complicit in any fraudulent scheme that may have been committed by others at AIPC.
If approved by the SEC, Mr. Petersons settlement would neither prevent nor restrict his continued
service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Although the Offer has been recommended by the SECs staff, there is no assurance that the SEC will approve the terms of the Offer. If
the SEC does not approve the Offer, it is possible that the SEC could bring an action against Mr.
Peterson which could affect his continued service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Item 5. Other information
Mark Peterson, our Chief Financial Officer, was previously employed by American Italian Pasta
Company (AIPC) where he served as Vice President-Accounting and Finance immediately prior to
joining us in 2004. AIPC has announced that it is the subject of an investigation by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on discussions with the staff of the SEC, on July 14,
2008 Mr. Peterson submitted an Offer of Settlement (the Offer) to the SEC with respect to his
prior employment at AIPC. The subject matter of the SECs investigation and the Offer do not
relate to Mr. Petersons service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Without admitting or
denying any charges that may be brought against him, Mr. Peterson has offered to consent to an
order to cease and desist from causing any violations of the SECs reporting requirements, and
books and records and internal accounting controls provisions, under Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20,
13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13 thereunder. Mr. Peterson has also offered to pay a $25,000 civil monetary
fine. The Offer does not involve any charge that Mr. Peterson was complicit in any fraudulent
scheme that may have been committed by others at AIPC. If approved by the SEC, Mr. Petersons
settlement would neither prevent nor restrict his continued service as Chief Financial Officer of
the Company. Although the Offer has been recommended by the SECs staff, there is no
assurance that the SEC will approve the terms of the Offer.
