PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Entertainment Properties Trust (“we,” “us,” “our,” “EPR” or the “Company”) was formed on August 22, 1997 as a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and an initial public offering of our common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) was completed on November 18, 1997. Since that time, the Company has grown into a leading specialty REIT with an investment portfolio that includes megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers (centers typically anchored by an entertainment component such as a megaplex theatre and containing other entertainment-related or retail properties), public charter schools and other destination recreational and specialty properties. The underwriting of our investments is centered on key industry and property cash flow criteria. As further explained under “Growth Strategies” below, our investments are also guided by a focus on inflection opportunities that are associated with or support enduring uses, excellent executions, attractive economics and an advantageous market position.
We are a self-administered REIT. As of December 31, 2011, we had total assets of approximately $3.1 billion (before accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.3 billion). Our investments are generally structured as long-term triple-net leases that require the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of the property, or as long-term mortgages with economics similar to our triple-net lease structure.
As of December 31, 2011, our real estate portfolio was comprised of approximately $2.6 billion in assets (before accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.3 billion) and consisted of interests in:
• | 112 megaplex theatre properties (including two joint venture properties) located in 33 states and Ontario, Canada; |
• | eight entertainment retail centers located in Westminster, Colorado; New Rochelle, New York; Burbank, California; Suffolk, Virginia; and Ontario, Canada; |
• | 33 public charter school properties located in ten states and the District of Columbia; |
• | other specialty properties, including eight wineries and five vineyards located in California and Washington and a metropolitan ski property located in Ohio; |
• | land parcels leased to restaurant and retail operators adjacent to several of our theatre properties; |
• | approximately $22.8 million in construction in progress for real estate development; and |
• | approximately $184.5 million in undeveloped land inventory. |
As of December 31, 2011, our real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of approximately 8.8 million square feet and was 99% occupied and our remaining real estate portfolio consisted of 4.4 million square feet and was 96% occupied. The combined real estate portfolio consisted of 13.2 million square feet and was 98% occupied. Our theatre properties are leased to 13 different leading theatre operators in 33 states and Ontario, Canada. For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by AMC.
As of December 31, 2011, we had invested approximately $233.6 million, net of initial direct costs of $1.8 million, in 27 public charter school properties leased under a master lease to Imagine Schools, Inc. (“Imagine”). We own the fee interest in these properties; however, due to the terms of this lease it is accounted for as a direct financing lease. In addition, we own six public charter school properties leased to four other operators. Our public charter school properties are located in ten states and the District of Columbia.
As of December 31, 2011, we had the following mortgage notes receivable with an outstanding balance of approximately $325.1 million (including accrued interest):
• | $178.4 million in mortgage financing secured by a water-park anchored entertainment village in Kansas City, Kansas as well as two other water-parks in Texas ; and |
• | $145.4 million in mortgage financing for ten metropolitan ski properties and development land located in New Hampshire, Vermont, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. |
5
• | $1.3 million in mortgage financing related to the development a public charter school. |
Also, as of December 31, 2011, we had five other notes receivable with an outstanding balance of $5.1 million (including accrued interest) net of a provision for an aggregate loan loss of $8.2 million.
Our total investments were approximately $3.0 billion at December 31, 2011. Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined herein as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties and rental properties held for sale (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), net, investment in a direct financing lease, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets (before accumulated amortization) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net. Below is a reconciliation of the carrying value of total investments to the constituent items in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 (in thousands):
Rental properties, net of accumulated depreciation | $ | 1,819,176 | |
Rental properties held for sale, net of accumulated depreciation | 4,696 | ||
Add back accumulated depreciation on rental properties | 335,116 | ||
Add back accumulated depreciation on rental properties held for sale | 319 | ||
Land held for development | 184,457 | ||
Property under development | 22,761 | ||
Mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable, net | 325,097 | ||
Investment in a direct financing lease, net | 233,619 | ||
Investment in joint ventures | 25,053 | ||
Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization | 4,485 | ||
Add back accumulated amortization on intangible assets | 9,551 | ||
Notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net | 5,015 | ||
Total investments | $ | 2,969,345 |
Management believes that total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories the Company’s funds have been invested. Of our total investments of $3.0 billion at December 31, 2011, $2.0 billion or 68% related to megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and other retail parcels, $286.2 million or 10% related to public charter schools and $667.5 million or 22% related to other destination recreational and specialty properties. Furthermore, of the $667.5 million related to other destination recreational and specialty properties, $158.4 million related to metropolitan ski areas, $178.4 million related to the water-park anchored entertainment village development in Kansas and two Texas water-parks, $180.0 million related to the land held for development in Sullivan County, New York and $150.7 million related to vineyards and wineries. At December 31, 2011, affiliates of Imagine are the lessees of 82% of our public charter school properties. Similarly, Peak Resorts, Inc. (“Peak”) is the lessee of our metropolitan ski area in Ohio and is the mortgagor on five notes receivable secured by ten metropolitan ski areas and related development land.
As further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the year ended December 31, 2011, $42.3 million, or approximately 14% of our total revenue was derived from our four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail centers and third party debt represent approximately $144.6 million or 10% of the Company’s equity as of December 31, 2011.
We aggregate the financial information of all our investments into one reportable segment because our investments have similar economic characteristics and because we do not internally report and during 2011 we were not internally organized by investment or transaction type.
We believe destination entertainment, entertainment-related, public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other recreational and specialty properties are highly enduring sectors of the real estate industry and that, as a result of our
6
focus on properties in these sectors, industry knowledge and the industry relationships of our management, we have a competitive advantage in providing capital to operators of these types of properties. We believe this focused niche approach offers the potential for higher growth and better yields.
During the past two years, we have taken significant steps to implement our strategy of migrating to an unsecured debt structure and maintaining significant liquidity. In 2010, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured notes and entered into a new $320.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. During 2011 and early 2012, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility to an increased capacity of $400 million at a significantly lower interest rate spread and entered into a new $240 million term loan. Having enhanced our liquidity position, strengthened our balance sheet and obtained access to the unsecured debt markets, we believe we are better positioned to aggressively pursue potential investments, acquisitions and financing transaction opportunities that may become available to us from time to time.
We believe our management’s knowledge and industry relationships have facilitated favorable opportunities for us to acquire, finance and lease properties. Historically, our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms, and managing our real estate portfolio as we have continued to grow. We are particularly focused on property categories which allow us to use our experience to mitigate some of the risks inherent in the current economic environment. We cannot provide any assurance that any such potential investment or acquisition opportunities will arise in the near future, or that we will actively pursue any such opportunities.
Megaplex Theatres
A significant portion of our assets consist of megaplex theatres. Megaplex theatres typically are multi-screen with stadium-style seating (seating with elevation between rows to provide unobstructed viewing) and are equipped with amenities that significantly enhance the audio and visual experience of the patron. We believe the development of new generation megaplex theatres, including the introduction of new digital cinema and 3-D technology, has accelerated the obsolescence of many of the previous generation of multiplex theatres by setting new standards for moviegoers, who, in our experience, have demonstrated their preference for the more attractive surroundings, wider variety of films, enhanced quality of visual presentation and superior customer service typical of megaplex theatres.
We expect the development of megaplex theatres to continue in the United States and abroad over the long-term. With the development of the stadium style megaplex theatre as the preeminent format for cinema exhibition, the older generation of smaller sloped theatres has generally experienced a significant downturn in attendance and performance. As a result of the significant capital commitment involved in building megaplex theatres and the experience and industry relationships of our management, we believe we will continue to have opportunities to provide capital to exhibition businesses for development of new megaplex theatres.
The success of several of our larger 24 and 30 screen properties has resulted in other exhibitors building properties that have reduced the 20 to 25 mile customer drawing range that these properties previously enjoyed. As a result of these competitive pressures, we may, at the expiration of the primary term of a lease, reduce the number of screens at a property to better reflect the existing market demands. Any such screen reduction will create an opportunity to reclaim a portion of the former theatre for conversion to another use, while retaining the majority of the building for a newly re-configured theatre. In addition to positioning expiring theatre assets for continued success, the redevelopment of these assets creates an opportunity to diversify the Company's tenant base.
Additionally, many theatre operators are expanding their food and beverage offerings, including the introduction of varying in-theatre dining options with alcohol availability. The introduction of these enhanced food and beverage offerings, along with the technological improvements of digital projection, large-format and 3-D presentation, should continue to drive future growth and create opportunities to deploy capital both in the US and abroad.
Entertainment Retail Centers
We continue to seek opportunities for the development of additional restaurant, retail and other entertainment venues around our existing portfolio. The opportunity to capitalize on the traffic generation of our market-dominant theatres to create entertainment retail centers (“ERC’s”) not only strengthens the execution of the megaplex theatre but adds
7
diversity to our tenant and asset base. We have and will continue to evaluate our existing portfolio for additional development of retail and entertainment density, and we will also continue to evaluate the purchase or financing of existing ERC’s that have demonstrated strong financial performance and meet our quality standards. The leasing and property management requirements of our ERC’s are generally met through the use of third-party professional service providers.
Although we are primarily a long-term investor, we may also sell assets if we believe that it is in the best interest of our shareholders. During 2011, we sold our Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center and related signage business in downtown Toronto for gross sale proceeds of approximately $226 million Canadian and recorded a net gain of $18.3 million U.S.
Public Charter Schools
Public charter schools are tuition-free, independent schools that are publicly funded by local, state and federal tax dollars based on enrollment. Like district public schools, public charter schools are required to meet both state and federal academic standards. Driven by the need to improve the quality of public education and provide more school choice in America, public charter schools are one of the fastest growing segments of the multi-billion dollar educational facilities sector, and a critical need exists for the financing of new and refurbished educational facilities. To meet this need, we have established relationships with public charter school operators and developers across the country and expect to continue to develop our leadership position in providing real estate financing in this area.
Public charter schools are operated pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities and are dependent upon funding from such sources. Due to revenue shortfalls and other factors, these authorities have pressure to reduce their spending budgets and, as a result, educational funding has been reduced in some cases and may continue to be reduced in the future. This can impact our tenants' operations and potentially their ability to pay our scheduled rent. However, these reductions differ state by state and have historically been more significant at the post-secondary education level than at the K-12 level that our tenants' serve. Furthermore, while there can be no assurance as to the level of these cuts, we analyze each state's fiscal situation and commitment to the charter school movement before providing financing in a new state, and also factor in anticipated reductions (as applicable) in the states in which we do decide to do business.
Metropolitan Ski Areas
Our daily attendance ski park model provides a sustainable advantage for the value conscious consumer, providing outdoor entertainment during the winter. All of the high-quality ski and snowboarding areas that serve as collateral for our mortgage notes in this area as well as our one owned property offer snowmaking capabilities and provide a variety of terrains and vertical drop options. The primary appeal of our ski parks lies in the convenient, low cost and reliable experience consumers can expect. Skiers and snowboarders are passionate about their sport and they invest in equipment to enjoy it. However, not every enthusiast has the time or money to travel to and stay at expensive mountain locations. Given that all of our ski parks are located near major metropolitan areas, they offer skiing and snowboarding as an everyday experience, not simply as a once-a-season vacation. Furthermore, advanced snowmaking capabilities increase the reliability of the experience versus other ski areas that do not have such capabilities. We expect to continue to pursue opportunities in this area.
Vineyards and Wineries
The wine industry was adversely affected by the recent economic downturn which affected several of our tenants' ability to perform under their leases. As a result, we have taken back certain properties due to non-performance under the related leases, and have granted concessions to other tenants in the form of rent abatement or rent deferral. During the second quarter of 2011, we engaged outside brokers to list all of our vineyard and winery properties for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all these assets within two years. During 2011, we completed the sale of three vineyard and winery investments.
8
Other Recreational and Specialty Properties
The venue replacement cycle in theatrical exhibition and public charter schools each represent what we consider to be an inflection opportunity, a demand for new capital stimulated by a need to upgrade to new technologies and delivery formats. We expect other destination retail, recreational and specialty properties to undergo similar transformations stimulated by growth, renewal and/or restructuring. We have begun and expect to continue to pursue opportunities to provide capital for such new generations of attractive and successful properties in selected niche markets.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our long-term primary business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and dividends per share (See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Funds From Operations” for a discussion of FFO). Our prevailing strategy is to focus on long-term investments in a limited number of categories in which we maintain a depth of knowledge and relationships, and which we believe offer sustained performance throughout all economic cycles. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to execute the Growth Strategies, Operating Strategies and Capitalization Strategies described below.
Growth Strategies
As a part of our growth strategy, we will consider acquiring or developing additional megaplex theatre properties, public charter schools and metropolitan ski areas, and acquiring or developing other single-tenant entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational or specialty properties. We will also consider acquiring or developing additional ERC’s. We may also pursue opportunities to provide mortgage financing for these same property types in certain situations where this structure is more advantageous than owning the underlying real estate.
Our investing strategy centers on five guiding principles which we call our Five Star Investment Strategy:
Inflection Opportunity
We look for a new generation of facilities emerging as a result of age, technology, or change in the lifestyle of consumers which create development, renewal or restructuring opportunities requiring significant capital.
Enduring Value
We look for real estate that supports activities that are commercially successful and have a reasonable basis for continued and sustainable customer demand in the future. Further, we seek circumstances where the magnitude of change in the new generation of facilities adds substantially to the customer experience.
Excellent Execution
We seek attractive locations and best-of-class executions that create market-dominant properties which we believe create a competitive advantage and enhance sustainable customer demand within the category despite a potential change in tenant. We minimize the potential for turnover by seeking tenants with a reliable track record of customer service and satisfaction.
Attractive Economics
We seek investments that provide accretive returns initially and increasing returns over time with rent escalators and percentage rent features that allow participation in the financial performance of the property. Further, we are interested in investments that provide a depth of opportunity to invest sufficient capital to be meaningful to our total financial results and also provide diversity by market, geography or tenant operator.
Advantageous Position
In combination with the preceding principles, when investing we look for a competitive advantage such as unique knowledge of the category, access to industry information, a preferred tenant relationship or other relationships that provide access to sites and development projects.

Operating Strategies
Lease Risk Minimization
To avoid initial lease-up risks and produce a predictable income stream, we typically acquire single-tenant properties that are leased under long-term leases. We believe our willingness to make long-term investments in properties offers our tenants financial flexibility and allows tenants to allocate capital to their core businesses. Although we will continue to emphasize single-tenant properties, we have acquired and may continue to acquire multi-tenant properties we believe add shareholder value.
Lease Structure
We have structured our property acquisitions and leasing arrangements to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals paid by our tenants. We typically structure leases on a triple-net basis under which the tenants bear the principal portion of the financial and operational responsibility for the properties. During each lease term and any renewal periods, the leases typically provide for periodic increases in rent and/or percentage rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level. In our multi-tenant property leases and some of our theatre leases, we generally require the tenant to pay a common area maintenance (“CAM”) charge to defray its pro rata share of insurance, taxes and maintenance costs.
Mortgage Structure
We have structured our mortgages to achieve economics similar to our triple-net lease structure with a positive spread between our cost of capital and the interest paid by our tenants. During each mortgage term and any renewal periods, the notes typically provide for periodic increases in interest and/or participating features based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level.
Tenant and Customer Relationships
We intend to continue developing and maintaining long-term working relationships with theatre, restaurant, retail, public charter school, metropolitan ski area and other recreation and specialty business operators and developers by providing capital for multiple properties on an international, national or regional basis, thereby creating efficiency and value for both the operators and the Company.
Portfolio Diversification
We will endeavor to further diversify our asset base by property type, geographic location and tenant or customer. In pursuing this diversification strategy, we will target theatre, restaurant, retail, public charter school, metropolitan ski area and other recreational and specialty business operators that we view as leaders in their market segments and have the ability to compete effectively and perform under their agreements with the Company.
Development
We intend to continue developing properties that meet our guiding principles. We generally do not begin development of a single tenant property without a signed lease providing for rental payments during the development period that are commensurate with our level of capital investment. In the case of a multi-tenant development, we generally require a significant amount of the development to be pre-leased prior to construction to minimize lease-up risk. In addition, to minimize overhead costs and to provide the greatest amount of flexibility, we generally outsource construction management to third party firms.
Capitalization Strategies
Debt and Equity Financing
Our debt to gross assets ratio (i.e. long-term debt of the Company as a percentage of total assets plus accumulated depreciation) was 38% at December 31, 2011. We expect to maintain a debt to gross assets ratio of between 35% and 45% going forward. While maintaining lower leverage mitigates the growth in per share results, we believe lower leverage and an emphasis on liquidity are prudent during the current economic cycle.
On October 13, 2011, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility at a significantly lower interest rate spread and increased its capacity to $400 million. The facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2015 with a one
10
year extension available at the Company's option. Additionally, on January 5, 2012, we entered into a new $240 million five year term loan facility. The loan matures on January 5, 2017 and proceeds were used primarily to pay down our revolving credit facility to zero. The unsecured revolving credit facility and the term loan are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.
Prior to 2010, we relied primarily on secured debt financings. Since then we completed out inaugural public senior unsecured note offering, our unsecured revolving credit facility and new term loan, which represent significant steps in the implementation of our strategy to migrate to an unsecured debt structure. In the future, we may from time to time seek to access the public and private credit markets on an opportunistic basis through the issuance of unsecured debt securities. We believe this strategy will increase our access to capital and permit us to more efficiently match available debt and equity financing to our ongoing capital requirements.
Our sources of equity financing consist of the issuance of common shares as well as the issuance of preferred shares (including convertible preferred shares). In addition to larger underwritten registered public offerings of both common and preferred shares, we have also offered shares pursuant to registered public offerings through the direct share purchase component of our Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (“DSP Plan”). While such offerings are generally smaller than a typical underwritten public offering, issuing common shares under the direct share purchase component of our DSP Plan allows us to access capital on a more frequent basis in a cost-effective manner. We expect to opportunistically access the equity markets in the future and, depending primarily on the size and timing of our equity capital needs, may continue to issue shares under the direct share purchase component of our DSP Plan. Furthermore, we may issue shares in connection with acquisitions in the future.
Joint Ventures
We will examine and may pursue potential additional joint venture opportunities with institutional investors or developers if the investments to which they relate meet our guiding principles discussed above. We may employ higher leverage in joint ventures.
Payment of Regular Distributions
We have paid and expect to continue to pay quarterly dividend distributions to our common and preferred shareholders. Our Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series C preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 5.75%, our Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series D preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 7.375%, and our Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series E preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 9.00%. Among the factors the Company’s board of trustees (“Board of Trustees”) considers in setting the common share distribution rate are the applicable REIT tax rules and regulations that apply to distributions, the Company’s results of operations, including FFO per share, and the Company’s Cash Available for Distribution (defined as net cash flow available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service, preferred dividends and other obligations).
Competition
We compete for real estate financing opportunities with other companies that invest in real estate, as well as traditional financial sources such as banks and insurance companies. REITs have financed and may continue to seek to finance destination entertainment, entertainment-related, public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other recreational or specialty properties as new properties are developed or become available for acquisition.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we had 27 full time employees.
Principal Executive Offices
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 909 Walnut Street, Suite 200, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; telephone (816) 472-1700.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There are many risks and uncertainties that can affect our current or future business, operating results, financial performance or share price. Here is a brief description of some of the important factors which could adversely affect our current or future business, operating results, financial condition or share price. This discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements. See “Forward Looking Statements.”
Risks That May Impact Our Financial Condition or Performance
Volatility in the financial markets may impair our ability to refinance existing obligations or obtain new financing for acquisition or development of properties.
The global financial markets recently have undergone and may continue to experience pervasive and fundamental disruptions. While the capital markets have shown signs of improvement, the sustainability of an economic recovery is uncertain and additional levels of market disruption and volatility could materially adversely impact our ability to refinance our existing obligations as they mature or obtain new financing for acquisition or development of properties.
Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and negatively impact the market price of our securities, including our common stock.
The credit ratings of our senior unsecured debt and preferred equity securities are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings and in the event that our current credit ratings deteriorate, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and it may be more difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.
An increase in interest rates could increase interest cost on new debt, and could materially adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt, sell assets and limit our acquisition and development activities.
If interest rates increase, so could our interest costs for any new debt. This increased cost could make the financing of any acquisition and development activity more costly. Rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures, or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to reposition our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
We previously made a significant investment in a planned casino and resort development, which is now the subject of ongoing litigation. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of this litigation. In the event of prolonged litigation or an unfavorable outcome, or other factors outside of the litigation, the casino project and resort development may be indefinitely delayed or canceled, which could have a material adverse effect on the casino project and resort development and/or our financial condition and results of operations.
We previously reached a settlement agreement with the developer of the planned casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York and certain related affiliates, pursuant to which we acquired certain land at the project. Entities
12
affiliated with the developer of the casino property subsequently commenced litigation against us and certain of our subsidiaries regarding matters addressed by the settlement agreement. We believe we have meritorious defenses to this litigation and intend to defend it vigorously. There can be no assurances, however, as to the duration or ultimate outcome of this litigation, nor can there be any assurances as to the costs we may incur in defending against and/or resolving this litigation. In the event of prolonged litigation or an unfavorable outcome, or simply as a result of economic conditions, the planned casino and resort development may be indefinitely delayed or canceled. There can be no assurance that such an indefinite delay or cancellation would not have a material adverse effect on our investment, which could cause us to record an impairment charge with respect to our interest in such property, and which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The failure of a bank to fund a request (or any portion of such request) by us to borrow money under one of our credit facilities could reduce our ability to make additional investments, fund our operations, service our debt and pay distributions.
We have existing credit facilities with several banking institutions. If any of these banking institutions which are a party to such credit facilities fails to fund a request (or any portion of such request) by us to borrow money under one of these existing credit facilities, our ability to make investments in our business, fund our operations and pay debt service and distributions could be reduced, each of which could result in a decline in the value of your investment.
The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay distributions, make additional investments and service our debt.
We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or “FDIC,” only insures interest-bearing accounts in amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank. We currently have cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over $250,000. The loss of our deposits may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from our tenants, who may not be able to pay.
At any time, a tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. Similarly, a general decline in the economy may result in a decline in demand for space at our commercial properties. Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space at our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because a majority of our income comes from leasing real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to our shareholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or if we are not able to maintain our levels of occupancy on favorable terms. If tenants of a property cannot pay their rent or we are not able to maintain our levels of occupancy on favorable terms, there is also a risk that the fair value of the underlying property will be considered less than its carrying value and we may have to take a charge against earnings. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and might incur substantial legal costs.
If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, that could diminish or eliminate the income we expect from that tenant's leases. If a tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, we cannot be sure that we could recover the premises from the tenant promptly or from a trustee or debtor-in-possession in a bankruptcy proceeding relating to the tenant. On the other hand, a bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to terminate its leases with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under the leases. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent would likely not be paid in full and we would also have to take a charge against earnings for any accrued straight-line rent receivable related to the leases.
Specifically, the recent economic downturn has adversely affected the wine industry, and has severely impacted the cash flow of many of our vineyard and winery properties, which has resulted and may continue to result in their failure to have sufficient funds to support operations or make payments under their leases.
13
We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers and counterparties and their failure to meet their financial obligations could adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to credit risk. There is a risk that a customer or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations when due, particularly given the current state of the economy. Customers and counterparties that owe us money may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Although we have procedures for reviewing credit exposures to specific customers and counterparties to address present credit concerns, default risk may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to detect or foresee. Some of our risk management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients or other matters that are publicly available or otherwise accessible by us. That information may not, in all cases, be accurate, complete, up-to-date or properly evaluated. In addition, concerns about, or a default by, one customer or counterparty could lead to significant liquidity problems, losses or defaults by other customers or counterparties, which in turn could adversely affect us. We may be materially and adversely affected in the event of a significant default by our customers and counterparties.
We could be adversely affected by a borrower's bankruptcy or default.
If a borrower becomes bankrupt or insolvent or defaults under its loan, that could force us to declare a default and foreclose on any available collateral. As a result, future interest income recognition related to the applicable note receivable could be significantly reduced or eliminated. There is also a risk that the fair value of the collateral, if any, will be less than the carrying value of the note and accrued interest receivable at the time of a foreclosure and we may have to take a charge against earnings. If a property serves as collateral for a note, we may experience costs and delays in recovering the property in foreclosure or finding a substitute operator for the property. If a mortgage we hold is subordinated to senior financing secured by the property, our recovery would be limited to any amount remaining after satisfaction of all amounts due to the holder of the senior financing. In addition, to protect our subordinated investment, we may desire to refinance any senior financing. However, there is no assurance that such refinancing would be available or, if it were to be available, that the terms would be attractive.
Our theatre tenants may be adversely affected by the obsolescence of any older multiplex theatres they own or by any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets.
The development of megaplex theatres has rendered many older multiplex theatres obsolete. To the extent our tenants own a substantial number of multiplexes, they have been, or may in the future be, required to take significant charges against their earnings resulting from the impairment of these assets. Megaplex theatre operators have also been and could in the future be adversely affected by any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets and the cost of financing, building and leasing megaplex theatres.
The base term of some of our original theatre leases are beginning to expire and there is no assurance that such leases will be renewed at existing lease terms or that we can lease any re-claimed space from some of our larger theatres at economically favorable terms.
The base term of some of our original theatre leases are beginning to expire. For theatres that are not performing as well as they did in the past, the tenants have and may continue to seek rent or other concessions or not renew at all. Furthermore, some tenants of our larger megaplex theatres desire to down-size the theatres they lease to respond to market trends. As a result, these tenants have and may continue to seek rent or other concessions from us, including requiring us to down-size the theatres or otherwise modify the properties in order to renew their leases. Furthermore, while any such screen reductions would likely create opportunities to reclaim a portion of the former theatres for conversion to other uses, there is no guarantee that we can re-lease such space or that such leases would be at economically favorable terms.
Operating risks in the entertainment industry may affect the ability of our tenants to perform under their leases.
The ability of our tenants to operate successfully in the entertainment industry and remain current on their lease obligations depends on a number of factors, including the availability and popularity of motion pictures, the performance of those pictures in tenants' markets, the allocation of popular pictures to tenants, the release window (represents the time that elapses from the date of a picture's theatrical release to the date it is available on other mediums) and the terms on which the pictures are licensed. Neither we nor our tenants control the operations of motion picture distributors. Megaplex theatres represent a greater capital investment, and generate higher rents, than the previous generation of multiplex theatres. For this reason, the ability of our tenants to operate profitably and perform under their leases could
14
be dependent on their ability to generate higher revenues per screen than multiplex theatres typically produce. The success of “out-of-home” entertainment venues such as megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and recreational properties also depends on general economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to spend time and money on out-of-home entertainment.
Real estate is a competitive business.
Our business operates in highly competitive environments. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rent or interest charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below the rental rates we are currently charging our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants' leases expire. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends.
A single tenant represents a substantial portion of our lease revenues.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by AMC, one of the nation's largest movie exhibition companies, under leases for megaplex theatre properties. AMCE Entertainment, Inc. (“AMCE”) has guaranteed AMC's performance under substantially all of their leases. We have diversified and expect to continue to diversify our real estate portfolio by entering into lease transactions with a number of other leading operators. Nevertheless, our revenues and our continuing ability to service our debt and pay shareholder dividends are currently substantially dependent on AMC's performance under its leases and AMCE's performance under its guarantee.
We believe AMC occupies a strong position in the industry and we intend to continue acquiring and leasing back or developing new AMC theatres. However, AMC and AMCE are susceptible to the same risks as our other tenants described herein. If for any reason AMC failed to perform under its lease obligations and AMCE did not perform under its guarantee, we could be required to reduce or suspend our shareholder distributions and may not have sufficient funds to support operations or service our debt until substitute tenants are obtained. If that happened, we cannot predict when or whether we could obtain substitute quality tenants on acceptable terms.
A single tenant leases or is the mortgagor of all our investments related to metropolitan ski areas and a single tenant leases a significant number of our public charter school properties.
Peak is the lessee of our metropolitan ski area in Ohio and is the mortgagor on five notes receivable secured by ten metropolitan ski areas and related development land. Similarly, Imagine is the lessee of a significant number of our public charter school properties. If Peak failed to perform under its lease and mortgage loan obligations, and/or Imagine failed to perform under its master lease, we may need to reduce our shareholder distributions and may not have sufficient funds to support operations or service our debt until substitute operators are obtained. If that happened, we cannot predict when or whether we could obtain quality substitute tenants or mortgagors on acceptable terms.
Public charter schools are operated pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities and are dependent upon funding from such regulatory authorities. We could be adversely affected by a public charter school's failure to comply with its charter, non-renewal of a charter upon expiration or by its reduction or loss of funding.
Our public charter school properties operate pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities, which are generally shorter than our lease terms, and most of the schools have undergone or expect to undergo compliance audits or reviews by such regulatory authorities. Such audits and reviews examine the financial as well as the academic performance of the school. Adverse audit or review findings could result in non-renewal, revocation or termination of a charter school's charter, or in some cases, a reduction in the amount of state funding, repayment of previously received state funding or other economic sanctions. Our public charter school tenants are also dependent upon funding from various state or other regulatory authorities, which are currently experiencing budgetary constraints, and any reduction or loss of such funding could adversely affect a public charter school's ability to comply with its charter and/or pay its obligations.
15
Although our public charter school tenants have not experienced a significant number of charter non-renewals, revocations or terminations to date, there can be no assurances that such tenants' charters will not be subject to these actions in the future. Imagine, an operator of public charter schools, is a lessee of a significant number of our public charter school properties. Recently, some of the public charter schools operated by Imagine that are located on our properties have been subject to compliance audits or reviews that resulted in probationary actions and, in one case, charter revocation. We are currently in the process of resolving these issues with Imagine; however there can be no assurances that any such solutions will satisfy either the respective regulatory body or the Company, and could result in the Company pursuing its remedies in the lease.
We believe that we have taken actions to mitigate, or have otherwise accounted for, some of the risks associated with our public charter school properties. For instance, Imagine is required to maintain irrevocable letters of credit to secure a portion of their annual lease payment owed to us under the master lease agreement. Subject to our approval and certain other terms and conditions, the master lease agreement also allows Imagine to repurchase from us the public charter school properties that are causing technical defaults and, in substitution for such properties, sell to us public charter school properties that would otherwise comply with the lease agreement. However, there is no guarantee that acceptable schools will be available for substitutions or that such substitutions will be completed. In addition, while governing authorities may approve substitute operators for failed public charter schools to ensure continuity for students, we cannot predict when or whether applicable governing authorities would approve such substitute operators, nor can we predict whether we could reach lease agreements with such substitute tenants on acceptable terms.
There are risks inherent in having indebtedness and the use of such indebtedness to fund acquisitions.
We currently utilize debt to fund portions of our operations and acquisitions. In a rising interest rate environment, the cost of our variable rate debt and any new variable rate debt will increase. We have used leverage to acquire properties and expect to continue to do so in the future. Although the use of leverage is common in the real estate industry, our use of debt exposes us to some risks. If a significant number of our tenants fail to make their lease payments and we don't have sufficient cash to pay principal and interest on the debt, we could default on our debt obligations. A substantial amount of our debt financing is secured by mortgages on our properties. If we fail to meet our mortgage payments, the lenders could declare a default and foreclose on those properties.
Most of our debt instruments contain balloon payments which may adversely impact our financial performance and our ability to pay distributions.
Most of our financing arrangements require us to make a lump-sum or "balloon" payment at maturity. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance such debt on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot refinance such debt on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
We must obtain new financing in order to grow.
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable net income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Other than deciding to make these distributions in our common shares, we are limited in our ability to use internal capital to acquire properties and must continually raise new capital in order to continue to grow and diversify our investment portfolio. Our ability to raise new capital depends in part on factors beyond our control, including conditions in equity and credit markets, conditions in the industries in which our tenants are engaged and the performance of real estate investment trusts generally. We continually consider and evaluate a variety of potential transactions to raise additional capital, but we cannot assure that attractive alternatives will always be available to us, nor that our share price will increase or remain at a level that will permit us to continue to raise equity capital publicly or privately.
Covenants in our debt instruments could adversely affect our financial condition and our acquisitions and development activities.
The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan facility, senior notes and other loans that we may obtain in the future contain certain cross-default provisions as well as customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt based upon the level of our ratio of total debt to
16
total assets, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and fixed charges. Our ability to borrow under both our unsecured revolving credit facility and our term loan facility is also subject to compliance with certain other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms. Additionally, our ability to satisfy current or prospective lenders' insurance requirements may be adversely affected if lenders generally insist upon greater insurance coverage against acts of terrorism than is available to us in the marketplace or on commercially reasonable terms.
We rely on debt financing, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan facility and debt secured by individual properties, to finance our acquisition and development activities and for working capital. If we are unable to obtain financing from these or other sources, or to refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected.
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies and this may create risks.
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies when we believe that an acquisition or development is consistent with our business strategies. We may not, however, succeed in consummating desired acquisitions or in completing developments on time. In addition, we may face competition in pursuing acquisition or development opportunities that could increase our costs. Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert management's attention. Acquisitions or developments in new markets or industries where we do not have the same level of market knowledge may expose us to unanticipated risks in those markets and industries to which we are unable to effectively respond and, as a result, our performance in those new markets and industries and overall may be worse than anticipated. In addition, there is no assurance that planned third party financing related to acquisition and development opportunities will be provided on a timely basis or at all, thus increasing the risk that such opportunities are delayed or fail to be completed as originally contemplated. We may also abandon acquisition or development opportunities that we have begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already incurred and have devoted management time to a matter not consummated. Furthermore, our acquisitions of new properties or companies will expose us to the liabilities of those properties or companies, some of which we may not be aware at the time of acquisition. In addition, development of our existing properties presents similar risks.
Our real estate investments are concentrated in entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties and a significant portion of those investments are in megaplex theatre properties, making us more vulnerable economically than if our investments were more diversified.
We acquire, develop or finance entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties. A significant portion of our investments are in megaplex theatre properties. Although we are subject to the general risks inherent in concentrating investments in real estate, the risks resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result of investing primarily in entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties. These risks are further heightened by the fact that a significant portion of our investments are in megaplex theatre properties. Although a downturn in the real estate industry could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties, a downturn in the entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational industries could compound this adverse effect. These adverse effects could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments to a greater degree outside of entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties or, more particularly, outside of megaplex theatre properties.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for payment of dividends to our shareholders.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will be taxed as a corporation. We are organized and believe we qualify as a REIT, and intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we have always qualified and will remain qualified in the future. This is because qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and depends on facts and circumstances not entirely within our control. In addition, future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the tax laws, the application of the tax laws to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of that qualification.
17
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year (including any prior taxable year for which the statute of limitations remains open) we would face tax consequences that could substantially reduce the funds available for the service of our debt and payment of dividends:
• | We would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates; |
• | We could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes; |
• | Unless we are entitled to relief under statutory provisions, we could not elect to be treated as a REIT for four taxable years following the year in which we were disqualified; and |
• | We could be subject to tax penalties and interest. |
In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to pay dividends. As a result of these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect the market price for our shares.
We will depend on dividends and distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries to service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders. The creditors of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us.
Substantially all of our assets are held through our subsidiaries. We depend on these subsidiaries for substantially all of our cash flow. The creditors of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary's obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to us. Thus, our ability to service our debt obligations and make distributions to holders of our common and preferred shares depends on our subsidiaries' ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to us. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligations, other than guaranties of our debt, to make funds available to us.
Our development financing arrangements expose us to funding and purchase risks.
Our ability to meet our construction financing obligations which we have undertaken or may enter into in the future depends on our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the required amounts. There is no assurance we can obtain this financing or that the financing rates available will ensure a spread between our cost of capital and the rent or interest payable to us under the related leases or mortgage notes receivable. As a result, we could fail to meet our construction financing obligations which, in turn, could result in failed projects and related foreclosures and penalties, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and business.
We have a limited number of employees and loss of personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares.
We had 27 full-time employees as of December 31, 2011 and, therefore, the impact we may feel from the loss of an employee may be greater than the impact such a loss would have on a larger organization. We are dependent on the efforts of the following individuals: David M. Brain, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Gregory K. Silvers, our Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary; Mark A. Peterson, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Morgan G. Earnest, our Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer and Michael L. Hirons, our Vice President - Finance. While we believe that we could find replacements for our personnel, the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares.
Risks That Apply to our Real Estate Business
Real estate income and the value of real estate investments fluctuate due to various factors.
The value of real estate fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may also limit our revenues and available cash.
The factors that affect the value of our real estate include, among other things:
• | international, national, regional and local economic conditions; |
• | consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the United States or Canada; |
• | our ability to secure adequate insurance; |
18
• | local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area; |
• | competition from other available space; |
• | whether tenants and users such as customers of our tenants consider a property attractive; |
• | the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults; |
• | whether we are able to pass some or all of any increased operating costs through to tenants; |
• | how well we manage our properties; |
• | fluctuations in interest rates; |
• | changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; |
• | changes in market rental rates; |
• | the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals; |
• | changes in taxation or zoning laws; |
• | government regulation; |
• | our failure to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; |
• | availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all; |
• | potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations; and |
• | general competitive factors. |
The rents and interest we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of these factors. If our revenues decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available to pay our indebtedness and distribute to our shareholders. In addition, some of our unreimbursed costs of owning real estate may not decline when the related rents decline.
There are risks associated with owning and leasing real estate.
Although our lease terms obligate the tenants to bear substantially all of the costs of operating the properties, investing in real estate involves a number of risks, including:
• | the risk that tenants will not perform under their leases, reducing our income from the leases or requiring us to assume the cost of performing obligations (such as taxes, insurance and maintenance) that are the tenant's responsibility under the lease; |
• | the risk that changes in economic conditions or real estate markets may adversely affect the value of our properties; |
• | the risk that local conditions could adversely affect the value of our properties; |
• | we may not always be able to lease properties at favorable rates or certain tenants may require significant capital expenditures by us to conform existing properties to their requirements; |
• | we may not always be able to sell a property when we desire to do so at a favorable price; and |
• | changes in tax, zoning or other laws could make properties less attractive or less profitable. |
If a tenant fails to perform on its lease covenants, that would not excuse us from meeting any debt obligation secured by the property and could require us to fund reserves in favor of our lenders, thereby reducing funds available for payment of dividends. We cannot be assured that tenants will elect to renew their leases when the terms expire. If a tenant does not renew its lease or if a tenant defaults on its lease obligations, there is no assurance we could obtain a substitute tenant on acceptable terms. If we cannot obtain another quality tenant, we may be required to modify the property for a different use, which may involve a significant capital expenditure and a delay in re-leasing the property.
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.
Our leases require the tenants to carry comprehensive liability, casualty, workers' compensation, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on our properties. We believe the required coverage is of the type, and amount, customarily obtained by an owner of similar properties. We believe all of our properties are adequately insured. However, there are some types of losses, such as catastrophic acts of nature, acts of war or riots, for which we or our tenants cannot obtain insurance at an acceptable cost. If there is an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insurance limits, we could lose both the revenues generated by the affected property and the capital we have invested in the property. We would, however, remain obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Since September 11, 2001, the cost of insurance protection against terrorist acts has risen dramatically. There can be no assurance our tenants will be able to obtain terrorism insurance coverage, or that any coverage they do obtain will adequately protect our
19
properties against loss from terrorist attack.
Joint ventures may limit flexibility with jointly owned investments.
We may continue to acquire or develop properties in joint ventures with third parties when those transactions appear desirable. We would not own the entire interest in any property acquired by a joint venture. Major decisions regarding a joint venture property may require the consent of our partner. If we have a dispute with a joint venture partner, we may feel it necessary or become obligated to acquire the partner's interest in the venture. However, we cannot ensure that the price we would have to pay or the timing of the acquisition would be favorable to us. If we own less than a 50% interest in any joint venture, or if the venture is jointly controlled, the assets and financial results of the joint venture may not be reportable by us on a consolidated basis. To the extent we have commitments to, or on behalf of, or are dependent on, any such “off-balance sheet” arrangements, or if those arrangements or their properties or leases are subject to material contingencies, our liquidity, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected by those commitments or off-balance sheet arrangements.
Our multi-tenant properties expose us to additional risks.
Our entertainment retail centers in Westminster, Colorado, New Rochelle, New York, Burbank, California, Suffolk, Virginia and Ontario, Canada, and similar properties we may seek to acquire or develop in the future, involve risks not typically encountered in the purchase and lease-back of real estate properties which are operated by a single tenant. The ownership or development of multi-tenant retail centers could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of suitable tenants may not be found to enable the centers to operate profitably and provide a return to us. This risk may be compounded by the failure of existing tenants to satisfy their obligations due to various factors, including the current economic crisis. These risks, in turn, could cause a material adverse impact to our results of operations and business.
Retail centers are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuations in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating results. Multi-tenant retail centers also expose us to the risk of potential “CAM slippage,” which may occur when the actual cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance at the property exceeds the CAM fees paid by tenants.
Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws could result in substantial costs.
Our theatres must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA requires that public accommodations reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations be made to commercial facilities to conform to accessibility guidelines. Failure to comply with the ADA can result in injunctions, fines, damage awards to private parties and additional capital expenditures to remedy noncompliance. Our leases require the tenants to comply with the ADA.
Our properties are also subject to various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will involve significant unanticipated expenditures. Although these expenditures would be the responsibility of our tenants, if tenants fail to perform these obligations, we may be required to do so.
Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, we may be required to investigate and clean up any release of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our properties, regardless of our knowledge or actual responsibility, simply because of our current or past ownership of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders. This is because:
• | as owner we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination; |
• | the law may impose clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination; |
• | even if more than one person is responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs; and |
• | governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs. |
20
These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. The presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or lease an affected property. In addition, some environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Most of our loan agreements require the Company or a subsidiary to indemnify the lender against environmental liabilities. Our leases require the tenants to operate the properties in compliance with environmental laws and to indemnify us against environmental liability arising from the operation of the properties. We believe all of our properties are in material compliance with environmental laws. However, we could be subject to strict liability under environmental laws because we own the properties. There is also a risk that tenants may not satisfy their environmental compliance and indemnification obligations under the leases. Any of these events could substantially increase our cost of operations, require us to fund environmental indemnities in favor of our lenders, limit the amount we could borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan facility and reduce our ability to service our debt and make distributions to shareholders.
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid.
We may desire to sell a property in the future because of changes in market conditions, poor tenant performance or default of any mortgage we hold, or to avail ourselves of other opportunities. We may also be required to sell a property in the future to meet debt obligations or avoid a default. Specialty real estate projects such as megaplex theatres cannot always be sold quickly, and we cannot assure you that we could always obtain a favorable price. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell our properties. We may be required to invest in the restoration or modification of a property before we can sell it. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our shareholders.
There are risks in owning assets outside the United States.
Our properties in Canada are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations. The rentals under our Canadian leases and the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing are payable or collectible (as applicable) in Canadian dollars, which could expose us to losses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates to the extent we have not hedged our position. Canadian real estate and tax laws are complex and subject to change, and we cannot assure you we will always be in compliance with those laws or that compliance will not expose us to additional expense. We may also be subject to fluctuations in Canadian real estate values or markets or the Canadian economy as a whole, which may adversely affect our Canadian investments.
Additionally, we have made initial investments in projects located in China and may enter other international markets, which may have similar risks as described above as well as unique risks associated with a specific country.
There are risks in owning or financing properties for which the tenant's, mortgagor's or our operations may be impacted by weather conditions and climate change.
We have acquired and financed metropolitan ski areas as well as vineyards and wineries, and may continue to do so in the future. The operators of these properties, our tenants or mortgagors, are dependent upon the operations of the properties to pay their rents and service their loans. The ski area operator's ability to attract visitors is influenced by weather conditions and climate change in general, each of which may impact the amount of snowfall during the ski season. Adverse weather conditions may discourage visitors from participating in outdoor activities. In addition, unseasonably warm weather may result in inadequate natural snowfall, which increases the cost of snowmaking, and could render snowmaking wholly or partially ineffective in maintaining quality skiing conditions. Excessive natural snowfall may materially increase the costs incurred for grooming trails and may also make it difficult for visitors to obtain access to the ski resorts. Prolonged periods of adverse weather conditions, or the occurrence of such conditions during peak visitation periods, could have a material adverse effect on the operator's financial results and could impair the ability of the operator to make rental payments or service our loans.
The ability to grow quality wine grapes and a sufficient quantity of wine grapes is influenced by weather conditions and climate change. Droughts, freezes and other weather conditions or phenomena, such as “El Nino,” may adversely affect the timing, quality or quantity of wine grape harvests, and this can have a material adverse effect on the operating results of our vineyard and winery operators, as well as the operations of those properties we operate. In addition to
21
reduced cash flow from the properties we operate, the ability of our tenants to make rental payments or service our loans could also be impaired.
Vineyards and wineries are subject to a number of risks associated with the agricultural industry.
Winemaking and wine grape growing are subject to a variety of agricultural risks. In addition to weather, various diseases, pests, fungi and viruses can affect the quality and quantity of wine grapes and negatively impact the profitability of our tenants. Furthermore, wine grape growing requires adequate water supplies. The water needs of our properties are generally supplied through wells and reservoirs located on the properties. Although we believe that there are adequate water supplies to meet the needs of all of our properties, a substantial reduction in water supplies could result in material losses of wine crops and vines. If our tenants or the properties which we operate suffer a downturn due to any of the factors described above, these tenants may be unable to make their lease or loan payments and cash flow from the properties which we operate may be reduced, both of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and that of our tenants and clients and personally identifiable information of our employees, in our facility and on our network. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our network and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence, which could adversely affect our business.
Risks That May Affect the Market Price of our Shares
We cannot assure you we will continue paying cash dividends at current rates.
Our dividend policy is determined by our Board of Trustees. Our ability to continue paying dividends on our common shares, to pay dividends on our preferred shares at their stated rates or to increase our common share dividend rate will depend on a number of factors, including our liquidity, our financial condition and results of future operations, the performance of lease and mortgage terms by our tenants and customers, our ability to acquire, finance and lease additional properties at attractive rates, and provisions in our loan covenants. If we do not maintain or increase our common share dividend rate, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and possibly our preferred shares. Furthermore, if the Board of Trustees decides to pay dividends on our common shares partially or substantially all in common shares, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and possibly our preferred shares.
Market interest rates may have an effect on the value of our shares.
One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell our common shares or preferred shares is our dividend rate as a percentage of our share price, relative to market interest rates. If market interest rates increase, prospective investors may desire a higher dividend on our common shares or seek securities paying higher dividends or interest.
Market prices for our shares may be affected by perceptions about the financial health or share value of our tenants and mortgagors or the performance of REIT stocks generally.
To the extent any of our tenants or customers, or their competition, report losses or slower earnings growth, take charges against earnings or enter bankruptcy proceedings, the market price for our shares could be adversely affected. The market price for our shares could also be affected by any weakness in the performance of REIT stocks generally or weakness in any of the sectors in which our tenants and customers operate.
Limits on changes in control may discourage takeover attempts which may be beneficial to our shareholders.
There are a number of provisions in our Declaration of Trust, Bylaws, Maryland law and agreements we have with others which could make it more difficult for a party to make a tender offer for our shares or complete a takeover of the Company which is not approved by our Board of Trustees. These include:
22
• | a staggered Board of Trustees that can be increased in number without shareholder approval; |
• | a limit on beneficial ownership of our shares, which acts as a defense against a hostile takeover or acquisition of a significant or controlling interest, in addition to preserving our REIT status; |
• | the ability of the Board of Trustees to issue preferred or common shares, to reclassify preferred or common shares, and to increase the amount of our authorized preferred or common shares, without shareholder approval; |
• | limits on the ability of shareholders to remove trustees without cause; |
• | requirements for advance notice of shareholder proposals at shareholder meetings; |
• | provisions of Maryland law restricting business combinations and control share acquisitions not approved by the Board of Trustees; |
• | provisions of Maryland law protecting corporations (and by extension REITs) against unsolicited takeovers by limiting the duties of the trustees in unsolicited takeover situations; |
• | provisions in Maryland law providing that the trustees are not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny than that applied to any other director under Maryland law in transactions relating to the acquisition or potential acquisition of control; |
• | provisions of Maryland law creating a statutory presumption that an act of the trustees satisfies the applicable standards of conduct for trustees under Maryland law |
• | provisions in loan or joint venture agreements putting the Company in default upon a change in control; and |
• | provisions of employment agreements with our officers calling for share purchase loan forgiveness (under certain conditions), severance compensation and vesting of equity compensation upon a change in control. |
Any or all of these provisions could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if the change was in our shareholders' interest or offered a greater return to our shareholders.
We may change our policies without obtaining the approval of our shareholders.
Our operating and financial policies, including our policies with respect to acquiring or financing real estate or other companies, growth, operations, indebtedness, capitalization and dividends, are exclusively determined by our Board of Trustees. Accordingly, our shareholders do not control these policies.
Dilution could affect the value of our shares.
Our future growth will depend in part on our ability to raise additional capital. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, the interests of holders of our common shares could be diluted. Likewise, our Board of Trustees is authorized to cause us to issue preferred shares in one or more series, the holders of which would be entitled to dividends and voting and other rights as our Board of Trustees determines, and which could be senior to or convertible into our common shares. Accordingly, an issuance by us of preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares. As of December 31, 2011, our Series C preferred shares are convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3574 common shares per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $69.95 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events). Additionally, as of December 31, 2011, our Series E preferred shares are convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.4512 common shares per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $55.41 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events). Depending upon the number of Series C and Series E preferred shares being converted at one time, a conversion of Series C and Series E preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have an impact on the value of our shares.
The functional currency for our Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. As a result, our future operating results could be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars, which in turn could affect our share price. We have attempted to mitigate our exposure to Canadian currency exchange risk by having both our Canadian lease rentals and the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing payable in the same currency. We have also entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge in part our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency derivatives are subject to future risk of loss. We do not engage in purchasing foreign exchange
23
contracts for speculative purposes.
Additionally, we have made investments in China and may enter other international markets which pose similar currency fluctuation risks as described above.
Tax reform could adversely affect the value of our shares.
There have been a number of proposals in Congress for major revision of the federal income tax laws, including proposals to adopt a flat tax or replace the income tax system with a national sales tax or value-added tax. Any of these proposals, if enacted, could change the federal income tax laws applicable to REITS, subject us to federal tax or reduce or eliminate the current deduction for dividends paid to our shareholders, any of which could negatively affect the market for our shares.

The closing price for our common shares on the NYSE on February 23, 2012 was $42.72 per share.
We declared quarterly distributions to common shareholders aggregating $2.80 and $2.60 per common share in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
While we intend to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, debt covenants and other factors the Board of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends may be affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from rental properties and mortgage notes, our operating expenses, debt service on our borrowings, the ability of tenants and customers to meet their obligations to us and any unanticipated capital expenditures. Our Series C preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 5.75%, our Series D preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 7.375% and our Series E preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 9.00%.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not sell any unregistered equity securities.
On February 23, 2012, there were approximately 615 holders of record of our outstanding common shares.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements.” Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing FFO and dividends per share. Our prevailing strategy is to focus on long-term investments in a limited number of categories in which we maintain a depth of knowledge and relationships, and which we believe offer sustained performance throughout all economic cycles. As of December 31, 2011, our total assets exceeded $2.7 billion, and included investments in 112 megaplex theatre properties (including two joint venture properties), 33 public charter school properties and various restaurant, retail, entertainment, destination recreational and specialty properties located in 34 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. As of December 31, 2011, we had invested approximately $207.2 million in development land and property under development and approximately $325.1 million in mortgage financing for entertainment, recreational and specialty properties.
As of December 31, 2011, our real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of 8.8 million square feet and was 99% occupied, and our remaining real estate portfolio consisted of 4.4 million square feet and was 96% occupied. The combined real estate portfolio consisted of 13.2 million square feet and was 98% occupied. Our theatre properties are leased to thirteen different theatre operators and our public charter schools are leased to five different public charter school operators. At December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our megaplex theatre properties were leased to AMC.
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.
Our real estate mortgage portfolio consists of eight mortgage notes totaling $325.1 million at December 31, 2011. Two of these mortgage notes, totaling $178.4 million at December 31, 2011, are secured by a water-park anchored entertainment village in Kansas City, Kansas as well as two other water-parks in Texas. The remaining mortgage notes include five mortgage notes totaling $145.4 million at December 31, 2011 related to financing provided for ski areas and one $1.3 million mortgage note related to financing for the development of a public charter school property.
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, improvements on our properties and furniture, fixtures and equipment over a 3 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 facility and term loan, long-term mortgage debt, and the sale of debt and 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 that are not
36
significantly pre-leased. We have also entered into certain joint ventures and we have provided mortgage note financing as described above. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future, subject to our ability to do so in light of the current financial and economic environment.
Historically, our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms, and managing our portfolio as we have continued to grow. We believe our management’s knowledge and industry relationships have facilitated opportunities for us to acquire, finance and lease properties.
During 2011, our investment spending of $137.9 million was lower than it has been historically. With the continued acceptance of megaplex theatres as a solid performing asset class and the continued low interest rate environment, portfolios of existing megaplex theatres in some cases sold at higher multiples of cash flow in 2011 than they may have otherwise sold in prior years. While this bodes well for the inherent value of our theatre portfolio, we elected not to pay these higher multiples for portfolios and, as a result, we were not the successful bidder in several cases. Furthermore, as in 2010, we did not have as many theatre build-to-suit opportunities as we have had historically. In 2011, this was likely in part due to the relative poor box office performance in the early part of the year versus the prior year. As box office performance improved over the latter part of 2011 and into early 2012, we are now seeing many more such build-to-suit opportunities available to us at attractive terms due to our long-term relationships with our tenants.
In 2011, we continued to establish our position as a leading owner of public charter school real estate and expect this momentum to continue into 2012. We successfully diversified our tenant base by adding four new public charter school operators and expect to continue to expand our tenant base in this area in 2012.
As further discussed below under “Recent Developments,” the recent economic downturn significantly impacted both the planned casino and resort development in Sullivan County, New York as well as the performance of our vineyard and winery tenants. While the Sullivan County project is subject to an ongoing lawsuit for which we believe we have meritorious defenses, progress is being made to activate the income producing capacity of this investment. Furthermore, progress is also being made in selling our vineyard and winery properties as we sold three such investments in 2011.
During the past two years, we have taken significant steps to implement our strategy of migrating to an unsecured debt structure and maintaining significant liquidity. In 2010, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured notes and entered into a new $320.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. During 2011 and early 2012, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility to an increased capacity of $400 million at a significantly lower interest rate spread and entered into a new $240 million term loan. Having enhanced our liquidity position, strengthened our balance sheet and obtained access to the unsecured debt markets, we believe we are better positioned to aggressively pursue potential investments, acquisitions and financing transaction opportunities that may become available to us from time to time.
Throughout the remainder of 2012, we expect to maintain our debt to total gross assets ratio between 35% and 45%. Depending on our capital needs, we will seek both debt and equity capital and will consider issuing additional shares under the direct share purchase component of our DSP Plan. While equity issuances and maintaining lower leverage mitigate the growth in per share results, we believe lower leverage and an emphasis on liquidity are prudent during the current economic environment.
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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, estimating reserves for uncollectible receivables and the accounting for mortgage and other notes receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the
37
exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation
We consolidate certain entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic on Consolidation. The Topic on Consolidation requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic requires an ongoing reassessment of and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether a company is the primary beneficiary and requires enhanced disclosures on variable interest entities. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, 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 management’s 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 or more frequently if necessary. We evaluate the collectibility of our direct financing lease receivable to determine whether it is impaired. A direct financing lease receivable 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 direct financing lease 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 direct financing lease receivable’s effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such 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 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. If an indicator of possible impairment exists,
38
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 utilizing independent appraisals and/or based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, we record 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) as well as any noncontrolling interest in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 on Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). In addition, in accordance with Topic 805, acquisition-related costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management makes quarterly estimates of the collectibility of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes trends in accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, when customers are in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition administrative and damage claims. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income.
Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans that we originated and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and we defer certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortize them over the term of the related loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. 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, we determine it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, unless we determine based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.
Recent Developments
Debt Financing
On February 7, 2011, we paid in full the eight term loans outstanding under our vineyard and winery facility totaling $86.2 million. In connection with the payment in full of the term loans, the related interest rate swaps were terminated at a cost of $4.6 million. Additionally, deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.8 million were written off as part of this loan prepayment.
On March 3, 2011, we assumed a mortgage note payable of $3.8 million in conjunction with the acquisition of a theatre property. The note matures on July 1, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $28 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of approximately $3.2 million. The note was recorded at fair value upon acquisition which was estimated to be $4.1 million. The fair value of the note was determined by discounting the future cash flows of the note using an estimated current market rate of 5.29%.
39
During March 2011, we exercised a portion of the accordion feature on our unsecured revolving credit facility. As a result of this exercise, our unsecured revolving credit facility capacity expanded from $320 million to $382.5 million. On October 13, 2011, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “facility”). The size of the facility increased from $382.5 million to $400 million. The facility includes a $100 million subline for letters of credit and contains an accordion feature in which the facility can be increased to up to $500 million subject to certain conditions, including lender consent. The facility continues to be supported by a borrowing base of assets, and is secured by a pledge of the equity of each entity that holds a borrowing base asset. The facility is priced based on a grid related to our senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at closing of LIBOR plus 1.60%. The facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2015 with a one year extension available at our option.
On June 22, 2011, we completed our offer to exchange our $250 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior notes due 2020, which were issued in a private placement (the "original notes"), for an equal principal amount of its 7.750% senior notes due 2020, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the exchange offer, $250 million aggregate principal amount, or 100%, of the original notes were validly tendered and accepted for exchange. The exchange offer was made to satisfy our obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into on June 30, 2010 in connection with the issuance of the original notes, and does not represent a new financing transaction.
On December 7, 2011, we exercised our option to purchase the underlying property in Sullivan County, New York related to our capital lease obligation for $8.9 million. A gain of $390 thousand was recognized related to the settlement of this capital lease obligation and is included in costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As further discussed below in "Subsequent Events" on January 5, 2012, we entered into a new $240 million five year term loan facility.
Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares
On August 31, 2011, we completed the redemption of all 3.2 million outstanding shares of our 7.75% Series B preferred shares. The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.32 per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of $0.484375 prorated through the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, we recognized a charge representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 2005 and other redemption related expenses. The Series B preferred share redemption costs, which reduced net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $2.8 million.
Investments
On January 31, 2011, we funded $2.1 million in development costs for expansion of one of our existing public charter school properties. This amount is included in investment in direct financing lease, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet which is further discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On March 3, 2011, we acquired four theatre properties for a total investment of $36.8 million pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction. The theatre properties are located in New Hampshire and Maine and contain an aggregate of 56 screens. The theatre properties are leased to Cinemagic pursuant to lease agreements that are structured as a triple net lease with the tenant responsible for all taxes, costs and expenses arising from the use or operation of the properties.

On December 15, 2011, we entered into a secured first mortgage loan agreement for $1.5 million with Starshine Charter Holdings, LLC . The loan is secured by approximately three acres of land and improvements which is expected to be developed into a public charter school.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired development land in Arizona and Colorado for a total purchase price of $2.1 million. As a part of these transactions, we have agreed to financing an additional $14.8 million for construction of two public charter schools that will be leased to HighMark Development ("HighMark") under long-term triple-net leases commencing upon completion of the development.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we completed development of six public charter school properties. One property is located in Louisiana and is leased under a long-term triple-net lease to Charter Schools Development Corporation. The total development cost (including land and building) was approximately $6.7 million.

Planned Casino and Resort Development in Sullivan County, New York
On April 12, 2011, we entered into an Exclusivity Agreement with Empire Resorts, Inc. ("Empire Resorts"), whereby the parties agreed to explore the possibility of developing a casino, hotel and harness racetrack on the Concord resort property. As part of the Exclusivity Agreement, Empire Resorts acknowledged that any of the agreements or obligations imposed by the Exclusivity Agreement would be subject to the rights granted to Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates in connection with the Settlement Agreement dated June 18, 2010 (the "Cappelli Rights"). That Exclusivity Agreement was extended twice, through December 21, 2011 as the parties continued to plan and negotiate. On December 21, 2011, the parties entered into an Option to Lease Agreement (the "Option") covering approximately 190 acres of the Concord resort property. The Option runs for a period of six months, and included an option payment of $750 thousand to us by Empire Resorts. The Option may be extended by Empire Resorts for successive periods of six months through June 30, 2013 upon making additional payments of $750 thousand each. The option payments become nonrefundable if and when the parties finalize a master development agreement. The Option includes a good faith obligation for both parties to work diligently to complete a master development agreement before March 31, 2012. There can be no guarantee that a master development agreement will be finalized or that the $750 thousand payment will be earned by us. Accordingly, this item is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As set forth in the Exclusivity Agreement, the Option contains an acknowledgment and recognition of the Cappelli Rights.
As further described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, this planned casino and resort development is the subject of ongoing litigation for which we believe we have meritorious defenses.

Property Sale
On March 29, 2011, we closed on the sale of our Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center and related signage business in downtown Toronto. The gross sale proceeds were approximately $226 million Canadian (“CAD”) and the net sales proceeds, after selling costs, were $222.7 million CAD. The net proceeds from this sale, after the escrows, were converted to U.S. dollars primarily through a foreign currency forward contract that was entered into on February 3, 2011 and designated as a net investment hedge. This forward contract allowed us to sell $200 million CAD for $201.5 million U.S. We used the proceeds to pay down our revolving line of credit and recorded a net gain of $18.3 million U.S. on the sale of real estate, including the impact of foreign currency and the settlement of the forward contract. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded an additional gain on sale or acquisition of real estate of $1.2 million U.S. related to the settlement of certain reserves.
Vineyards and Wineries
The wine industry has been adversely affected by recent economic conditions which continue to affect several of our tenants' ability to perform under their leases. As a result, we have taken back certain properties due to non-performance under the related leases, and have granted concessions to other tenants in the form of rent abatement or rent deferral. During 2011, we completed the sale of three vineyard and winery investments as discussed below.
On April 28, 2011, in conjunction with the sale by Ascentia of the Gary Farrell brand and related inventory assets, we elected to sell our winery assets to the same buyer. As a result, we terminated our lease on these assets with Ascentia and were paid $2.0 million in outstanding receivables and a $1.0 million lease termination fee that is included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In addition, we received $6.5 million from the buyer for our winery assets, which was equal to the net book value of such assets. The results of operations of this property have been classified within discontinued operations.
Additionally, we entered into an agreement in the second quarter of 2011 to sell one of our vineyard and winery properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million, which is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value. While this sale agreement was not ultimately executed, we still expect this property will be sold within a year and the results of operations have been classified within discontinued operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we engaged outside brokers to list all of our vineyard and winery properties for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all of these assets within the next two years. Management estimated the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, current market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties utilizing a leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable. It was determined that the carrying value of seven of the Company's vineyard and winery properties, exceeded the estimated fair values by $34.3 million, and an impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter for this amount.
On August 16, 2011, we completed the sale of the tasting room portion of our Buena Vista winery facility in Sonoma California for $1.7 million and no gain or loss on sale was recognized.
On September 20, 2011, we completed the sale of a 60 acre vineyard and winery facility in Paso Robles, California, for $13.3 million and a gain on sale of $16 thousand was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The results of operations of the property have been classified within discontinued operations.
Subsequent Events
On January 5, 2012, we entered into a new $240 million five year term loan facility. The loan matures on January 5, 2017. The facility is priced based on a grid related to our senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at closing of LIBOR plus 175 basis points. We also entered into interest rate swaps that fix the all-in rate on this loan at 2.66% for four years. The new facility also contains an “accordion” feature allowing it to be increased by up to an additional $110 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The net proceeds from this new term loan facility were primarily utilized to reduce the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility to zero.

Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010
Rental revenue was $226.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $219.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $6.1 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions completed in 2011 and 2010 and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by a decline in rental revenue from our vineyard and winery tenants. Percentage rents of $1.6 million and $1.7 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Straight-line rents of $0.7 million and $1.0 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our entertainment retail centers. The $0.9 million increase is primarily due as an increase in tenant reimbursements at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada and in New Rochelle, New York.
Other income was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $1.3 million increase is primarily due to income from the sale of grape inventory at certain of our vineyard properties which are operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $55.9 million compared to $52.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $3.6 million increase is primarily due to our additional investments in public charter school properties classified as a direct financing lease, as well as increased real estate lending activities related to our mortgage loan agreements with SVVI and Peak Resorts. We also recognized participating interest income of $0.5 million from SVVI for the year ended December 31, 2011. No participating interest income was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Our property operating expense totaled $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers and other specialty properties. The $1.2 million decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in bad debt expense related to our vineyard and winery tenants. This decrease was partially offset by increases in property operating expenses at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada and New Rochelle, New York, and carrying costs associated with land held for development and the Dallas Grand theatre property prior to commencement of new leases at this location.
Other expense totaled $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $2.9 million increase is due to $0.6 million more loss recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward and swap contracts, $0.3 million in golf course expenses related to two golf courses on the Concord resort property, which we took ownership of on June 18, 2010 in connection with the Cappelli settlement as well as $2.0 million in cost of goods sold from grape sales and other expenses related to certain of our vineyard and winery properties which are being operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $2.0 million is primarily due to an increase in payroll related expenses, including share grant amortization, as well as professional fees.
Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net were $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, these costs related to the termination of our eight term loans outstanding under the vineyard and winery facility. In connection with the payment in full of the term loans, the related interest rate swaps were terminated at a cost of $4.6 million and deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.8 million were written off. These costs were partially offset by a gain of $0.4 million on the settlement of a capital lease obligation related to the planned casino and resort development in Sullivan County, New York. For the year ended December 31, 2010, these costs related to the termination of our previous revolving credit facility and a term loan (including related interest rate swap agreements).

Our net interest expense decreased by $0.6 million to $71.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $72.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Transaction costs totaled $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $1.2 million is due to the write off of costs associated with terminated transactions.

Equity in income from joint ventures totaled $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $0.7 million increase is due primarily to our contribution of an additional $14.9 million to Atlantic-EPR I to pay off the Partnership's long-term debt at its maturity on May 1, 2010. The $14.9 million contribution earns a preferred return of 15% per the partnership agreement.

Rental revenue was $219.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $193.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The $26.9 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010 and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by a decline in rental revenue from our vineyard and winery tenants. Percentage rents of $1.7 million and $1.4 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other income was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The bowling center was converted to a third party lease on February 1, 2010. Additionally, other income decreased due to a $0.9 million gain recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts for the year ended December 31, 2009. A loss of $0.2 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in other expense. Partially offsetting these decreases, there was an increase of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to golf course revenue recognized related to two golf courses on the Sullivan County property, which we took ownership of on June 18, 2010 in connection with the settlement with Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates.
Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $52.3 million compared to $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Our revolving credit facility is also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. We have and expect to continue to issue debt securities in public or private offerings. 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 as well as certain cross-default provisions. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2011.

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 $195.8 million, $180.4 million and $148.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities was $89.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and net cash used in investing activities was $320.3 million and $192.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash used by financing activities was $282.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and net cash provided by financing activities was $128.0 million and $15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, and funds available under our revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.
Long-term liquidity requirements at December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of maturities of long-term debt. Contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Our unconsolidated joint venture, Atlantic EPR-II, has a mortgage note payable at December 31, 2011 of $12.2 million which matures in September 2013.
Commitments
As of December 31, 2011, we had one theatre development project and one retail development project under construction for which we have agreed to finance the development costs. At December 31, 2011, we had commitments to fund approximately $5.7 million of additional improvements which are expected to be funded in 2012. Development costs are advanced by us in 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 properties to the operator at pre-determined rates.
We have agreed to finance future development costs for three of our public charter school properties. At December 31, 2011, we have commitments to fund approximately $10.8 million of additional improvements for these properties which is expected to be funded in 2012. Development costs are advanced by us in 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 properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.
We have provided a guarantee of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds related to four theatres in Louisiana for which we earn a fee at an annual rate of 1.75% over the 30 year term of the bond. We have recorded $3.2 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $3.2 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 related to this guarantee. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to this guarantee because payment by us is not probable.
48
We have certain 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 December 31, 2011, we had seven mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $28.5 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
Liquidity Analysis
In analyzing our liquidity, we generally expect that our cash provided by operating activities will meet our normal recurring operating expenses, recurring debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders.
During 2012 and 2013, we have approximately $65.3 million and $98.5 million, respectively, of consolidated debt maturities. Our cash commitments, as described above, include additional commitments under various mortgage notes receivable totaling approximately $28.5 million. Of the $28.5 million of mortgage note receivable commitments, approximately $4.9 million is expected to be funded in 2012.
Our sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2011 to pay the above 2012 commitments include the remaining amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility of approximately $177.0 million and unrestricted cash on hand of $14.6 million. In addition, the proceeds from our term loan issuance in January 2012 were used primarily to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility to zero. Accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we expect that our sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of 2012.
We also believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt obligations for 2013 and thereafter as the debt comes due, and that we will be able to fund our remaining commitments as necessary. 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, distributions to shareholders and funding existing commitments is in growing our investment portfolio through the acquisition, development and financing of additional properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our 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 revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional investment financing (See “Risk Factors”).
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2011, we had a 37.5% and 26.5% 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 commitments involving those joint ventures. On May 1, 2010, we contributed an additional $14.9 million to Atlantic-EPR I to pay off the Partnership’s long-term debt at its maturity of May 1, 2010 and this contribution earned a priority return of 15% through December 31, 2011. We recognized income of $2.4 million, $1.9 million and $565 thousand during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture. We recognized income of $383, $350 and $330 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR II joint venture during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Atlantic-EPR II joint venture has a mortgage note payable secured by a megaplex theatre. The note held by Atlantic EPR-II totals $12.2 million at December 31, 2011 and matures in September 2013. Condensed financial information for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II joint ventures is included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The partnership 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 partnership agreements. During 2009, we paid Atlantic cash of $109 and $9 (in thousands), respectively, in exchange for additional ownership of 0.7% and 0.2% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. During 2010, we paid Atlantic cash
49
of $679 and $186 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 3.1% and 1.6% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. During 2011, we paid Atlantic cash of $2.5 million and $258 thousand in exchange for additional ownership of 11.3% and 2.0% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. These exchanges did not impact total partners’ equity in either Atlantic-EPR I or Atlantic-EPR II.
In addition, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had invested $4.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in unconsolidated joint ventures for three theatre projects in 2011 and two theatre projects in 2010, located in China. We recognized income of $42 thousand and a loss of $157 thousand from our investment in these joint ventures for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No income or loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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 debt to gross assets ratio (i.e. total long-term debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation) between 35% and 45%. However, the timing and size of our equity and debt offerings may cause us to temporarily operate over this threshold. At December 31, 2011, this ratio was 38%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at December 31, 2011 was 33%; however, 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 $3.5 billion by aggregating the following at December 31, 2011:
• | Common shares outstanding of 46,726,714 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $43.71 per share, or $2.0 billion; |
• | Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C convertible preferred shares of $135.0 million; |
• | Aggregate liquidation value of our Series D preferred shares of $115.0 million; |
• | Aggregate liquidation value of our Series E convertible preferred shares of $86.3 million; and |
• | Total long-term debt of $1.2 billion. |
Our interest coverage ratio for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was 3.7 times, 3.4 times and 3.1 times, respectively. Interest coverage is calculated as the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided by interest expense, gross (as calculated in the following table). We consider the interest coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to meet its interest expense obligations and management believes it is useful to investors in this regard. 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. Amounts below include the impact of discontinued operations, which are separately classified in the consolidated statements of income included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

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 and management provides FFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales or acquisitions of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable real estate, 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. We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition. 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.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)
In addition to FFO, AFFO is presented by adding to FFO provision for loan losses, transaction costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net, share-based compensation expense to management and trustees, amortization of above market leases, net and preferred share redemption costs; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue, and the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income. AFFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, and management provides AFFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-1 (“ASU 2011-1”). ASU 2011-1 temporarily deferred the disclosures regarding troubled debt restructurings which were included in the disclosure requirements about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses which was issued in July 2010. In April 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance and clarifications to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance and the previously deferred disclosures were effective July 1, 2011 applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011. Prospective application is required for any new impairment identified as a result of this guidance. The adoption of these new disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for us in our first quarter of 2012 and is required to be applied retrospectively. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Inflation
Investments by EPR are financed with a combination of equity and debt. During inflationary periods, which are generally accompanied by rising interest rates, our ability to grow may be adversely affected because the yield on new investments may increase at a slower rate than new borrowing costs.
Substantially all of our megaplex theatre leases provide for base and participating rent features. To the extent inflation causes tenant revenues at our properties to increase over baseline amounts, we would participate in those revenue increases through our right to receive annual percentage rent.
55
Our leases and mortgage notes receivable also generally provide for escalation in base rents or interest in the event of increases in the Consumer Price Index, with generally a limit of 2% per annum, or fixed periodic increases. Alternatively, during deflationary periods, our leases and mortgage notes receivable with escalations in base rents or interest dependent on increases in the Consumer Price Index may be adversely affected.
Our leases are generally triple-net leases requiring the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the properties, thereby minimizing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. A portion of our megaplex theatre, retail and restaurant leases are non-triple-net leases. These leases represent approximately 13% of our total real estate square footage. To the extent any of those leases contain fixed expense reimbursement provisions or limitations, we may be subject to increases in costs resulting from inflation that are not fully passed through to tenants.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange 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 $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with $223.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and a $10.7 million bond, both of which bear interest at a floating rate. In addition, on January 5, 2012, we entered into a $240 million five year term loan facility which bears interest at a floating rate. As further described in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, this LIBOR based debt was converted with interest rate swaps to a fixed rate of 2.66% for four years.
We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to mortgages or contractual agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.
The fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates including current market spreads.
The following table presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates, and other terms required by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes as of December 31 (including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements described below):

We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the US dollar, on our five Canadian properties. We financed the acquisition of four of our Canadian entertainment retail centers with a fixed rate mortgage loan from a Canadian lender in the original aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S. $97 million. The loan was made and is payable by us in CAD, and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD.
As discussed above, we have partially mitigated the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on four of our Canadian properties by matching Canadian dollar debt financing with Canadian dollar rents. To further mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on these Canadian properties, during the second quarter of 2007, we entered into a cross currency swap with a notional value of $76.0 million CAD and $71.5 million U.S. The swap calls for monthly exchanges from January 2008 through February 2014 with us paying CAD based on an annual rate of 17.16% of the notional amount and receiving U.S. dollars based on an annual rate of 17.4% of the notional amount. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through February 2014 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.
In order to also hedge our net investment on the four Canadian properties, we entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date which coincides with the maturity of our underlying mortgage on these four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. This forward contract should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through February 2014 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of our four Canadian properties.
Additionally, we have entered into foreign currency forward agreements to hedge the currency fluctuations related to the monthly cash flows of our Canadian properties. These foreign currency forwards settle at the end of each month from February to December 2012 and lock in an exchange rate of $1.00 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand monthly CAD denominated cash flows.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Entertainment Properties Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Properties Trust and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedules II and III. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entertainment Properties Trust and subsidiaries of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 or retail properties), public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other destination recreational and specialty properties. The Company’s properties are located in the United States and Canada.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entertainment Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned except for those subsidiaries discussed below.
The Company consolidates certain entities if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic on Consolidation. The Topic on Consolidation requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This topic requires an ongoing reassessment of and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining whether a company is the primary beneficiary and requires enhanced disclosures on variable interest entities. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
The Company reports its noncontrolling interests as required by the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC. Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. The ownership interests in the subsidiary that are held by owners other than the parent are noncontrolling interests. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company's equity. On the consolidated statements of income, revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity are included for both quarterly and annual financial statements, including beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. The Company does not have any redeemable noncontrolling interests under the scope of the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance of the FASB ASC.
As further explained in Note 10, the Company owns 96% of the membership interests of VinREIT, LLC (VinREIT). Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to VinREIT was $38 thousand, $86 thousand and $231 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing the noncontrolling interest’s portion of the annual cash flow. Total noncontrolling interest in VinREIT included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $269 thousand and $231 thousand at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As further described in Note 8, on June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Louis Cappelli (Mr. Cappelli) and several of his affiliates regarding the settlement of all pending litigation and a restructuring of the Company’s investments with Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates. Among other things, as a part of the settlement, the Company now owns 100% of the New Rochelle, New York entertainment retail center (New Roc), and no longer has any ownership interest in the City Center entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York (City Center.)
Prior to June 18, 2010, New Roc was owned 71.4% by the Company. There was no net income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to New Roc for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
Prior to June 18, 2010, the Company had a 66.67% voting interest in LC White Plains Retail LLC, LC White Plains Recreation LLC and Cappelli Group LLC (together the White Plains LLCs), which owned City Center. Each of these entities was formerly a VIE and the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest related to the White Plains LLCs was $1.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The operating results of this property have been reclassified into discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. See Note 22 for further details.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Rental Properties
Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.
Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated fair value.
The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate as of the end of each quarter. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year. The results of operations of these real estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported. On occasion, the Company will receive unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.
Accounting for Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, the Company records 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) as well as any noncontrolling interest in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 on Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). In addition, in accordance with Topic 805, acquisition-related costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized. Costs related to such transactions, as well as costs associated with terminated transactions, are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income as transaction costs. Transaction costs totaled $1.7 million, $7.8 million (including $7.3 million in discontinued operations) and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Most of the Company’s rental property acquisitions do not involve in-place leases. In such cases, the fair value of the tangible assets is determined based on recent independent appraisals and management judgment. Because the Company typically executes these leases simultaneously with the purchase of the real estate, no value is ascribed to in-place leases in these transactions.
68
ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
For rental property acquisitions involving in-place leases, the fair value of the tangible assets is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of the assets. Management determines the “as if vacant” fair value of a property using recent independent appraisals or methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. The aggregate value of intangible assets or liabilities is measured based on the difference between the stated price plus capitalized costs and the property as if vacant.
In determining the fair value of acquired in-place leases, the Company considers many factors. On a lease-by-lease basis, management considers the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases and management’s estimate of fair market lease rates. For above market leases, management considers such differences over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms and for below market leases, management considers such differences over the remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. Management considers several factors in determining the discount rate used in the present value calculations, including the credit risks associated with the respective tenants. If debt is assumed in the acquisition, the determination of whether it is above or below market is based upon a comparison of similar financing terms for similar rental properties at the time of the acquisition.
The fair value of acquired in-place leases also includes management’s estimate, on a lease-by-lease basis, of the present value of the following amounts: (i) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place leases (i.e. the market cost to execute the leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs); (ii) the value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the assumed re-leasing period, (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (iii) the value associated with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed re-leasing period; and (iv) the value associated with avoided tenant improvement costs or other inducements to secure a tenant lease. These values are amortized over the remaining initial lease term of the respective leases.
The Company also determines the value, if any, associated with customer relationships considering factors such as the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationship with the tenants, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenants and expectation of lease renewals. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized over the remaining initial lease terms plus any renewal periods.
Management of the Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis. Intangible assets consist of the following at December 31 (in thousands):
2011 | 2010 | ||||||
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $9.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively | $ | 3,792 | $ | 29,651 | |||
Above market leases, net of accumulated amortization of $0.2 million at December 31, 2010 | — | 5,300 | |||||
Goodwill | 693 | 693 | |||||
Total intangible assets, net | $ | 4,485 | $ | 35,644 |
In-place leases, net at December 31, 2011 of approximately $3.8 million, relate to four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada that were purchased on March 1, 2004 and one entertainment retail center in Burbank, California that was purchased on March 31, 2005. In-place leases, net at December 31, 2010 of approximately $29.7 million, relate to the above referenced properties as well as an entertainment retail center in Ontario, Canada that was purchased on March 4, 2010 and subsequently sold on March 29, 2011. Above market leases, net at December 31, 2010 also related to this sold entertainment retail center. See Note 22 for further details related to discontinued operations. Goodwill at December 31, 2011 and 2010 relates solely to the acquisition of New Roc that was acquired on October 27, 2003. Amortization expense related to in-place leases is computed using the straight-line method and was $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The weighted average life for these in-place leases at December 31, 2011 is 3.5 years. Amortization expense related to above market leases is computed using the straight-line method and was $20 thousand and $200 thousand, respectively, for the years ended

December 31, 2011 and 2010 and is included in discontinued operations. There was no amortization expense related to above market leases for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Future amortization of in-place leases, net at December 31, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):

2016 | 165 | |||
Thereafter | 16 | |||
Total | $ | 3,792 |
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related long-term debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable.
Capitalized Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs that relate to property under development including interest and a portion of internal legal personnel costs.
Operating Segment
The Company aggregates the financial information of all its investments into one reportable segment because the investments all have similar economic characteristics and because the Company does not internally report and is not internally organized by investment or transaction type.
Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents as well as participating interest for those mortgage agreements that contain similar such clauses are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease or mortgage agreements. Rental revenue included percentage rents of $1.6 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Mortgage and other financing income included participating interest income of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. No participating interest income was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no obligation to provide services to such former tenants. Termination fees of $1.1 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011 of which $1.0 million has been classified within discontinued operations. See Note 22 for further details. No termination fees were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
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 management's 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 Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently if necessary) the collectability of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease 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 direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded
70
ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s accounts receivable balance is comprised primarily of rents and operating cost recoveries due from tenants as well as accrued rental rate increases to be received over the life of the existing leases. The Company regularly evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of the Company’s tenants, historical trends of the tenant and/or other debtor, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company estimates the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectiblity of accounts receivable prove incorrect, the Company could experience write-offs of the accounts receivable or accrued straight-line rents receivable in excess of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.2 million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. An insignificant delay or shortfall in amounts of payments does not necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a cash basis, unless the Company determines based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.
Income Taxes
The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The Company intends to continue to qualify as a REIT and distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
In 2004 and 2010, the Company acquired certain real estate operations that are subject to income tax in Canada. During 2011, the Company sold one of the properties that was subject to income tax in Canada. Also, the Company has certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, as permitted under the Code, through which it conducts certain business activities. The taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal and state income taxes on their net taxable income. Temporary differences between income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income for the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries relate primarily to depreciation, amortization of deferred financing costs and straight line rents. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets totaling approximately $17.5 million and $33.8 million and deferred tax liabilities totaling approximately $4.1 million and $21.7 million. As there is no assurance that the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries will generate taxable income in the future beyond the reversal of temporary taxable differences, the deferred tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance such that there is no net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Furthermore, the Company qualified as a REIT and distributed the necessary amount of taxable income such that no federal income taxes were due for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was recorded for any of those years. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year,

it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.
The Company’s policy is to recognize estimated interest and penalties as general and administrative expense. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years (after 2008 for federal and state and after 2006 for Canada) based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter.
Concentrations of Risk
American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (35%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company (including joint venture properties) at December 31, 2011 as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to a number of AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues (approximately $105.3 million or 35%, $106.4 million or 37%, and $103.7 million or 40% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively) result from the revenue by AMC under the leases, or its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE), as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE had total assets of $3.7 billion and $3.7 billion, total liabilities of $3.4 billion and $2.9 billion and total stockholders' equity of $360 million and $761 million at March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010, respectively.

The Company acquired Toronto Dundas Square, a 13-level entertainment retail center located in downtown Toronto, consisting of 330,000 square feet of net rentable area and a signage business consisting of 25,000 square feet of digital and static signage, on March 4, 2010. As further described in Note 3, on March 29, 2011, the Company sold this entertainment retail center and accordingly, the results of operations of the property have been classified within discontinued operations. The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the four Canadian entertainment retail centers and third-party debt represent approximately $144.6 million or 10% of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 2011. The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail centers (including Toronto Dundas Square) and third-party debt represent approximately $355.2 million or 22% of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 2010.
Cash Equivalents

Share based compensation expense consists of share option expense, amortization of nonvested share grants, and shares and share units issued to non-employee 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 $5.6 million, $4.7 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Share Options
Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to non-employee 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 four to five years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share options granted to non-employee Trustees vest immediately but may not be exercised for a period of one year from the grant date. Share option expense for non-employee Trustees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees.
The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $777 thousand, $674 thousand and $679 thousand, respectively. The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates: risk-free interest rate of 2.5% to 3.1%, 2.6% to 3.1% and 2.6% to 2.8% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, dividend yield of 6.4% in 2011 and 6.5% to 6.6% in both 2010 and 2009, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 39.8%, 39.5% to 39.6% and 31.4% to 37.5% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, no expected forfeitures and an expected life of eight years. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Additionally, expected volatility is computed based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares.
Nonvested Shares 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 to five years). Total expense recognized related to all nonvested shares was $4.2 million, $3.6 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Shares Issued to Non-Employee Trustees
Prior to 2009, the Company issued shares to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. These shares vested immediately but could not be sold for a period of one year from the grant date. This expense was amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $111 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees
In 2009, the Company began issuing restricted share units to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. This expense was amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $493 thousand, $445 thousand and $260 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for the operations of its Canadian properties and mortgage note in Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities related to the Company’s Canadian properties and mortgage note are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income.

Derivative Instruments
The Company has acquired certain derivative instruments to reduce exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and variable interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps.
The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

Depreciation expense on rental properties was $45.0 million, $43.0 million and $39.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On March 29, 2011, the Company sold its Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center and related signage business in downtown Toronto. The gross sale proceeds were approximately $226 million Canadian (CAD) and the net sales proceeds, after selling costs, were $222.7 million CAD. The acquirer did not purchase any of the pre-acquisition receivables, payables or accrued liabilities and the purchase and sale agreement called for the establishment of $15.3 million CAD of escrow accounts primarily for the payment of previously accrued property taxes. This amount has been netted against the net proceeds from sale of real estate from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. The net proceeds from this sale, after the aforementioned escrows, were converted to U.S. dollars primarily through a foreign currency forward contract that was entered into on February 3, 2011 and designated as a net investment hedge. This forward contract allowed the Company to sell $200 million CAD for $201.5 million U.S. The Company used the proceeds to pay down its revolving line of credit and recorded a net gain of $18.3 million U.S. on the sale of real estate, including the impact of foreign currency and the settlement of the forward contract. The results of operations of the project have been classified within discontinued operations retroactively through the first quarter of 2010 as the project was purchased on March 4, 2010 (see Note 22 for further details). During the third and fourth quarters of 2011, approximately $13.1 million CAD was paid from reserves leaving an outstanding balance of $2.2 million CAD at December 31, 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company

4. Impairment Charges
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to sell one of its vineyard and winery properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million, which is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value. While this sale agreement was not ultimately executed, the Company still expects this property will be sold within a year and this asset has been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the results of operations have been classified within discontinued operations. See Note 22 for further details.
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company engaged outside brokers to list all of its winery and vineyard properties for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all of these assets within the next two years. Management estimated the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, current market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties utilizing a leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable. It was determined that the carrying value of seven of the Company's vineyard and winery properties exceeded the estimated fair values by $34.3 million, and an impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter for this amount. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, one of these properties was sold. Accordingly, the related results of operations including the impairment charge of $7.1 million for this property have been classified within discontinued operations. See Note 22 for further details.

Concord Resort transferred its interests in the Concord resort property to one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries in exchange for its release from obligations under the Concord Mortgage Note, subject to, among other terms: an option granted to Concord Resort to purchase for a two-year period the Company's subsidiary that is holding the Concord resort property for $143.0 million, plus interest accruing on such sum at the rate of 6% per annum, a right of first refusal granted to Concord Resort with respect to purchasing the Company's interest in the Concord resort property applicable for a period of two years running concurrently with the option described above, certain limitations for a period of time on the Company's ability to own or operate any casino, racino, racing or gaming facility on the Concord resort property, which is adjacent to the Concord casino property owned by an affiliate of Mr. Cappelli (the Casino Owner), and certain perpetual limitations on the ability of the Casino Owner (or its successor) to own or operate a resort facility, golf course or other operation or facility on the Concord casino property, other than the currently contemplated casino and hotel project. The Company agreed that, upon the Cappelli affiliate's execution of an agreement for the construction of the Concord casino on the Concord casino property and execution of a Master Credit Agreement (the MCA) on or before June 11, 2012, substantially in the form attached to the settlement documents, the Company would lease or sublease, as applicable, two golf courses that are associated with the Concord resort property to a Cappelli affiliate on a triple-net basis for an initial term of 10 years, plus fivefive-year extensions at fair market value rent mutually acceptable to the parties. The Company also agreed that, upon the Cappelli affiliate's execution of the MCA on or before June 11, 2012, substantially in the form attached to the settlement documents, the Company would enter into a ground lease (for $1.00 per year), with a right for the Cappelli affiliate to eventually purchase, a parcel of approximately 51 acres known as the “Racino Parcel” upon completion of construction of the harness track and relocation of a roadway. The Cappelli affiliate also has the right to ground lease the parcel (with option to purchase) for a five year period (until June 11, 2017) if the MCA is not signed, but in that case, rent would be $200,000 per year, payable in advance. In either case, the purchase option described above would be exercisable for nominal consideration ($1.00), but the lease and the option would lapse if vertical construction on the Cappelli affiliate's proposed casino had not commenced, or was not being diligently and continuously pursued to completion on June 18, 2015. Management determined the fair value of the real estate to be $180.0 million by taking into account an independent appraisal prepared as of the settlement date. The fair value of the option granted to Concord Resort of $27.8 million was recorded as noncontrolling interest and a ground lease assumed by the Company was recorded as a capital lease obligation of $9.2 million, which is equal to the fair value. This lease obligation was subsequently satisfied by the Company on December 7, 2011. See Note 12 for further details.
The Company transferred to an affiliate of Mr. Cappelli, KBC Concord LLC (KBC Concord), three promissory notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million and for which the Company had previously recorded a loan loss reserve in the aggregate of $28.0 million, in exchange for an agreement by KBC Concord to pay the Company up to $15.0 million payable from 50% of the available cash distributed to KBC Concord from its minority interest in the Concord casino project which was determined by management to have a fair value of approximately $463 thousand. The Company evaluated the $463 thousand asset related to cash flow rights in the Concord casino for impairment at December 31, 2010 and determined that it was fully impaired. An impairment charge was recorded as of December 31, 2010 for this amount.
The Company provided a commitment to acquire a $30.0 million participation (pari passu with the other lenders) from Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULLICO) in a loan to be made by ULLICO and other lenders under a proposed amended and restated master credit agreement to the Concord casino project, which was conditioned upon, among other things, receipt of a $100.0 million equity investment by a major gaming operator prior to December 31, 2010. This commitment expired on December 31, 2010.
One of Mr. Cappelli's affiliates, LC New Roc LP, transferred to the Company its partnership interest in New Roc Associates, L.P. (previously a consolidated joint venture that had a noncontrolling interest with a fair value of $2.5 million at the date of settlement), which owns New Roc, in exchange for the Company's interest in LC White Plains Retail LLC and LC White Plains Recreation, LLC (together the White Plains LLCs, each part of a previously consolidated joint venture), which own City Center, and a promissory note related to City Center, in the original principal amount of $20.0 million payable by Cappelli Group, LLC to the Company

(previously eliminated in consolidation). The deconsolidation by the Company of its ownership interest in City Center resulted in a charge of $7.4 million in conjunction with the settlement primarily related to the deficit balance in noncontrolling interest. As a result, the Company now holds a 100% interest in New Roc and has no interest in City Center. As further detailed in Note 22, the results of operations of City Center have been classified in discontinued operations.
In addition, the Company paid cash at closing of $3.7 million for the interests acquired, the acquisition of certain equipment and the payment of property obligations. The Company also incurred $1.6 million in closing costs and other expenses, including transfer taxes, and the parties mutually released and settled all claims, obligations and liabilities, including all pending litigation.

On June 7, 2011, Concord Associates, L.P., Concord Resort, LLC and Concord Kiamesha LLC (the Cappelli Group) filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Sullivan, against a subsidiary of the Company seeking a declaratory judgment on certain of the subsidiary's obligations under the settlement agreement, an order that the Company subsidiary execute the golf course lease and the “Racino Parcel” lease, and an extension of the restrictive covenant against ownership or operation of a casino on the Concord resort property, which covenant was set to expire on December 31, 2011. On October 20, 2011, the Cappelli Group amended the Sullivan County lawsuit to drop all claims except that seeking an extension of the restrictive covenant, and simultaneously filed a new suit against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries alleging breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing with respect to a casino development agreement relating to the planned casino and resort development in Sullivan County, New York.

The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli group for which it believes it has meritorious defenses.

As part of the Exclusivity Agreement, Empire Resorts acknowledged that any of the agreements or obligations imposed by the Exclusivity Agreement would be subject to the rights granted to Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates in connection with the Settlement Agreement dated June 18, 2010 (the Cappelli Rights). That Exclusivity Agreement was extended twice, through December 21, 2011, as the parties continued to plan and negotiate. On December 21, 2011, the parties entered into an Option to Lease Agreement (the Option) covering approximately 190 acres of the Concord resort property. The Option runs for a period of six months, and included an option payment of $750 thousand by Empire Resorts to the Company. The Option may be extended by Empire Resorts for successive periods of six months through June 30, 2013 upon making additional payments of $750 thousand each. The option payments become nonrefundable if and when the parties finalize a master development agreement. The Option includes a good faith obligation for both parties to work diligently to complete a master development agreement before March 31, 2012. There can be no guarantee that a master development agreement will be finalized or that the $750 thousand payment

13. Variable Interest Entities
The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s).
Consolidated VIEs
Prior to December 22, 2011, the Company's consolidated VIEs consisted of a 50% interest in Suffolk Retail, LLC, which owns an entertainment retail center in Suffolk, Virginia. As further described in Note 10, on December 22, 2011, the Company acquired all of the shares from the noncontrolling interest and this entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary and is no longer a VIE.
Additionally, prior to June 18, 2010, the Company's consolidated VIEs consisted of a 66.67% interest in the White Plains LLC's, which own City Center in White Plains, New York. As further described in Note 8, in conjunction with the Cappelli settlement, the Company no longer has interest in the White Plains LLCs.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company has invested in one 50% joint venture which is a VIE. This joint venture does not have any significant assets and liabilities at December 31, 2011 and was established to explore certain investment opportunities.
Unconsolidated VIE
At December 31, 2011, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $178.4 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage note and related accrued interest receivable of $178.4 million because there are no commitments to fund above this amount. For further discussion of this mortgage note, see Note 6.
While this entity is a VIE, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company. The Company does not have the power to direct these activities. Additionally, the Company does not have the right to receive benefits (beyond its interest payments per the note agreement) and does not have the obligation to absorb losses of SVVI, as its equity at risk is limited to the amount invested in the note.
14. Derivative Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on its LIBOR based borrowings. The Company limits this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its LIBOR based borrowings. To accomplish this objective, the Company currently uses interest rate swaps as its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company terminated three of its interest rate swap agreements in connection with the payoff of the related debt. These interest rate swaps had a combined outstanding notional amount of $118.6 million at termination and $8.7 million was reclassified into earnings as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2010, as the forecasted future transactions were no longer probable. On February 7, 2011, the Company terminated six of its interest rate swap agreements as the related loan agreements were paid in full. These interest rate swaps had a combined notional amount of $87.7 million at termination and $4.6 million was reclassified into earnings as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2011, as the forecasted future transactions were no longer probable. At December 31, 2011, the Company had no interest rate swaps outstanding.
On January 5, 2012 the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on a $240.0 million term loan that closed on the same day. These agreements have a combined outstanding notional amount of $240.0 million, a termination date of January 5, 2016 and a fixed rate of 2.66%. See Note 25 for further details.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized during the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.
Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, the U.S. dollar, on its four Canadian properties. The Company uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the CAD to U.S. dollar exchange rate on its Canadian properties. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of the Company's expected CAD denominated cash flow of the Canadian properties through February 2014 as their impact on the Company's cash flow when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.
At December 31, 2011, the Company’s cross-currency swaps had a fixed original notional value of $76.0 million CAD and $71.5 million U.S. The net effect of these swaps 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 on the properties through February 2014.
The Company entered into foreign currency forward agreements to further hedge the currency fluctuations related to the cash flows of these properties. These foreign currency forwards settled at the end of each month from April to December 2011 and locked in an exchange rate of $0.99 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand of monthly CAD denominated cash flows. Additionally, in February 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency forward agreements that settle at the end of each month from February to December 2012 and lock in an exchange rate of $1.00 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand of monthly CAD denominated cash flows.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness,
89
ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST

is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As of December 31, 2011, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending December 31, 2012, $0.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to other expense.
Net Investment Hedges
As discussed above, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its four Canadian properties. As such, the Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the CAD to U.S. dollar exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in US dollars for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. In order to hedge the net investment in four of the Canadian properties, the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100 million CAD and $96.1 million U.S. with a February 2014 settlement which coincides with the maturity of the Company’s underlying mortgage on these four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. This forward contract should hedge a significant portion of the Company’s 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 these four Canadian properties.
In addition, on February 3, 2011, in order to hedge the foreign currency exposure related to the proceeds from the March 29, 2011 sale of a Canadian property, the Company entered into a forward contract to sell $200 million CAD for $201.5 million U.S. dollars. The contract settled in conjunction with the sale of the property on March 29, 2011 and the $4.3 million loss related to the settlement was recognized with the gain on sale of the property.
For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on net investment hedges has been recognized for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.
See Note 15 for disclosure relating to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments. Below is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of changes in equity and income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its interest rate derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative obligations.
As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $2.0 million. If the Company breached any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.9 million.

15. Fair Value Disclosures
The Company’s has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance 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 entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). 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 Company’s 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
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. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s 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 also utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of December 31, 2011, 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 and therefore, has classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.
The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

As further discussed in Note 4, during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded impairment charges of $36.1 million relating to adjustments to the carrying value of several of the Company's winery and vineyard properties. The adjustment is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value. Management estimated the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, current market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties utilizing a leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable. Based on this input, the Company determined that its valuation of this investment was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
On March 3, 2011, the Company assumed a mortgage note payable of $3.8 million in conjunction with the acquisition of a theatre property. The note was recorded at fair value upon acquisition which was estimated to be $4.1 million. The fair value of the note was determined by discounting the future cash flows of the note using an estimated current market rate of 5.29%. Based on this input, the Company determined that its valuation of this note was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Management compares the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at December 31, 2011:
Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:
The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of $325.1 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.48%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.00% to 10.46%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.04%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $298.9 million at December 31, 2011.
Investment in a direct financing lease, net:
The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease as of December 31, 2011 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2011, the Company had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of 233.6 million and a weighted average effective interest rate of 12.02%. The investment in direct financing lease bears interest at effective interest rates of 11.93% to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in a direct financing lease approximates the fair market value at December 31, 2011.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash:
Due to the highly liquid nature of our short term investments, the carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate the fair market values at December 31, 2011.
Accounts receivable, net:
The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate the fair market value at December 31, 2011.

issuance in the amount of $1.4375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 5.75% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series C preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Series C preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. The Series C preferred shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. As of December 31, 2011, the Series C preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3574 common shares per Series C preferred share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $69.95 per common share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events including if the Company’s common dividend per share exceeds a quarterly threshold of $0.6875.
Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, the Company will under certain circumstances increase the conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to adjust the conversion rate upon the Series C preferred shares becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring or surviving company.
On or after January 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, cause the Series C preferred shares to be automatically converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals or exceeds 135% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C preferred shares.
Owners of the Series C preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to the owners in cash, common shares, or a combination of cash and common shares.
The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $1.4375 per Series C preferred share for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As of January 1, 2009, the Company’s nonvested share awards are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of earnings per share under the two-class method as required by the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company issues restricted share units to its non-employee trustees. The restricted share units are entitled to receive dividend payments from the date of grant and are therefore considered participating securities under the two-class method. As such, the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include the nonvested restricted share units.
18. Equity Incentive Plan
All grants of common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan prior to May 9, 2007, and under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan on and after May 9, 2007. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 1,950,000 common shares, options to purchase common shares and restricted share units, subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital events, may be granted. At December 31, 2011, there were 675,941 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 25% per year over a four-year period, however, this was typically at a rate of 20% per year over a five-year period for options granted prior to 2009. For non-employee Trustees, share options are vested upon issuance, however, the share options may not be exercised for a one year period subsequent to the grant date. The Company generally issues new common shares upon option exercise. A summary of the Company’s share option activity and related information is as follows:

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
25. Subsequent Events
On January 5, 2012, the Company entered into a new $240 million five year term loan facility. The loan matures on January 5, 2017. The facility is priced based on a grid related to the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at closing of LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The Company also entered into interest rate swaps that fix the all-in rate on this loan at 2.66% for 4 years. The new facility also contains an “accordion” feature allowing it to be increased by up to an additional $110 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The net proceeds from this new term loan facility were primarily utilized to reduce the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving credit facility to zero.

None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011. KPMG, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, errors or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Entertainment Properties Trust:
We have audited Entertainment Properties Trust’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Properties Trust as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, and our report dated February 24, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
