ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Description of Business

Entertainment Properties Trust (the Company) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT) organized on August 29, 1997. The Company develops, owns, leases and finances megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers (centers generally anchored by an entertainment component such as a megaplex theatre and containing other entertainment-related or retail properties), public charter schools and destination recreational and specialty properties. The Company’s properties are located in the United States and Canada.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

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.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 1, 2011.

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 are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease agreements. Percentage rents of $439 thousand and $700 thousand were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no obligation to provide services to such former tenants. No termination fees were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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 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.

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.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company makes quarterly estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other revenue or income. The Company 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, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition administrative and damage claims. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s net income.

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.

Concentrations of Risk

American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (37%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company (including joint venture properties) at March 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 $26.3 million or 36% and $26.6 million or 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion and

total stockholders’ equity of $761 million and $1.0 billion at April 1, 2010 and April 2, 2009, respectively. AMCE had net earnings of $69.8 million for the fifty-two weeks ended April 1, 2010 and a net loss of $81.2 million for the fifty-two weeks ended April 2, 2009. In addition, AMCE had net earnings of $36.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 30, 2010. AMCE has publicly held debt and the foregoing financial information was reported in its consolidated financial information which is publicly available.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, approximately $10.7 million or 14%, and $10.1 million or 14%, respectively, of total revenue was derived from the Company’s four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada. 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 5, 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 $151.1 million or 9% of the Company’s net assets as of March 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.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation to employees of the Company is determined pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. Share-based compensation to non-employee trustees of the Company is determined pursuant to the director compensation program. Prior to May 9, 2007, all common shares and options to purchase common shares (share options) were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan. The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 9, 2007 annual meeting and this plan replaced the 1997 Share Incentive Plan.

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 $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $190 thousand and $166 thousand, respectively. The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates: risk-free interest rate of 2.7% to 3.1% and 3.1% for the three months ended March 31,

2011 and 2010, respectively, dividend yield of 6.4% and 6.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 39.8% and 39.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 shares issued to employees was $1.1 million and $900 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees

The Company issues 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 $118 thousand and $98 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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.

4. Impairment Charge

The Company expects to enter into an agreement in the second quarter of 2011 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.

5. Investments and Dispositions

On January 13, 2011, the Company entered into a modification agreement with its vineyard and winery tenant at four properties, Ascentia Wine Estates. The modification agreement provides for, among other things, the sale of the real property and the operations of one winery to a third-party buyer and the payment of $2.0 million in rent related to the fourth quarter of 2010. The agreement also provides for the termination of the lease on another winery and vineyard, which previously had annual rent of approximately $5.5 million. The Company took possession of the property during the first quarter of 2011. Additionally, the leases on two other wineries and one other vineyard were amended to provide for a reduction in rent of $1.5 million to approximately $3.5 million annually. Management of the Company has assessed the carrying value of these properties for impairment and no provision for impairment was considered necessary based on this analysis.

On January 31, 2011, the Company funded $2.1 million in development costs for expansion of one of its 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.

On March 3, 2011, the Company 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. As a part of this transaction, the Company assumed a mortgage note payable on one of the four theatres with an outstanding balance of $3.8 million and a fair value of $4.1 million at the acquisition date. See Note 9 for further discussion of this mortgage note payable.

On March 22, 2011, the Company purchased one public charter school property from a third-party for a total investment of $4.3 million. The property is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is leased to the Charter Schools Development Corporation. As a part of this transaction, the Company has agreed to finance an additional $2.3 million in redevelopment costs for this property. See Note 16 for further discussion.

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 three months ended March 31, 2011. As a result, the Company’s March 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet includes $18.0 million CAD of assets and $16.5 million CAD of liabilities related to Toronto Dundas Square; however, the Company has no significant continuing involvement with the ownership or operation of the project after March 29, 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., 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 15 for further details.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company advanced $1.5 million under its secured mortgage loan agreements with SVV I, LLC and an affiliate of SVV I, LLC (together SVVI) to provide for additional improvements made to the Kansas City, Kansas and Texas water-parks. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at March 31, 2011 was $170.5 million.

6. Investment in a Direct Financing Lease

This amount has been fully reserved at March 31, 2011. Rent deferral payments are due on or before June 9, 2012 and bear interest at 8.7%.

8. Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a 31.8% and 23.9% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. The Company accounts for its investment in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.

On May 1, 2010, the Company contributed an additional $14.9 million in equity to Atlantic-EPR I to pay off the Partnership’s long-term debt at its maturity. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the Company is entitled to earn a priority return of 15% on its additional contribution.

The joint venture agreements for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II allow the Company’s partner, Atlantic of Hamburg, Germany (“Atlantic”), to exchange up to a maximum of 10% of its ownership interest per year in each of the joint ventures for common shares of the Company or, at the Company’s discretion, the cash value of those shares as defined in each of the joint venture agreements. During 2010, the Company paid Atlantic cash of $627 and $186 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 2.9% and 1.6% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively. During 2011, the Company has paid Atlantic cash of $466 and $30 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 2.0% and 0.2% 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had invested $4.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in unconsolidated joint ventures for three theatre projects located in China. The Company recognized income of $4 (in thousands) from its investment in these joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2011. No income or loss was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

9. Long-Term Debt

On February 7, 2011, the Company paid in full the eight term loans outstanding under its 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, the Company 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%. Based on this input, the Company determined that its valuation of this note was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During March 2011, the Company exercised a portion of the accordion feature on its unsecured revolving credit facility. As a result of this exercise, the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility capacity has been expanded from $320 million to $382.5 million.

10. 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

As of March 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of the VIEs’ assets that were consolidated totaled $22.3 million. Those assets are owned by the VIEs, not the Company. A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of a VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s debts. In addition, the assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt, if any.

The Company’s consolidated VIEs consist of a 50% interest in Suffolk Retail LLC, which owns an entertainment retail center in Suffolk, Virginia as well as two other 50% joint ventures to explore certain investment opportunities.

Unaudited financial information including the carrying amounts and classification of these VIEs’ significant assets and liabilities are as follows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011(in thousands):


Rental properties, net	$	16,187
Property under development		5,119
Other assets		956
Total assets		22,292
Total liabilities		74
Noncontrolling interests		4
Total revenue		312
Net income		151

Unconsolidated VIE

At March 31, 2011, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $170.5 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to a total of $178.1 million, which is the amount committed by the Company per the mortgage note agreements.

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.

11. 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 used 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 remaining interest rate swap agreements were terminated 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 three months ended March 31, 2011, as the forecasted future transactions were no longer probable.

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 March 31, 2011, the Company’s cross-currency swaps had a fixed 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.

Additionally, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward agreements to hedge the currency fluctuations related to the cash flows of these properties. These foreign currency forwards settle at the end of each month from April to December 2011 and lock in an exchange rate of $0.99 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, is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives has been recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

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 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 the three months ended March 31, 2011. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

See Note 12 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 three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

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 March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $6.6 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 $6.8 million.

12. 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 March 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 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 March 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 March 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of $306.9 million in fixed rate mortgage

notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.29%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.00% to 10.30%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using an estimated weighted average market rate of 9.93%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $279.0 million at March 31, 2011.

Investment in a direct financing lease, net:

The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease as of March 31, 2011 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At March 31, 2011, the Company had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of $229.8 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 March 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.

Accounts receivable, net:

The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate the fair market value at March 31, 2011.

Notes and related accrued interest receivable, net:

The fair value of the Company’s notes and related accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2011 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of $5.1 million in fixed rate notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest and net of loan loss reserve, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.38%. The fixed rate notes bear interest at rates of 6.00% to 15.00%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate notes receivable using an estimated market rate of 9.41%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate notes receivable to be approximately $4.9 million at March 31, 2011.

Derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments are carried at their fair market value.

Debt instruments:

The fair value of the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2011 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of $97.6 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 2.93%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximates the fair market value at March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of $943.7 million in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 6.54%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using an estimated market rate of 5.55%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $968.1 million at March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a capital lease obligation with a carrying value of $9.2 million. The carrying value of the capital lease obligation approximates the fair market value at March 31, 2011.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:

The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short term maturities of these amounts.

Common and preferred dividends payable:

The carrying values of common and preferred dividends payable approximate fair value due to the short term maturities of these amounts.

14. Equity Incentive Plans

All grants of common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan prior to May 9, 2007, and under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan on and after May 9, 2007. Under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 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 March 31, 2011, there were 693,235 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. 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:

16. Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had three theatre development projects and two retail development projects under construction for which it has agreed to finance the development costs. At March 31, 2011, the Company has commitments to fund approximately $18.3 million of additional improvements which are expected to be funded in 2011. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreements, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates.

As further discussed in Note 5, the Company acquired one charter school property and has agreed to finance redevelopment costs. At March 31, 2011, the Company has commitments to fund approximately $2.3 million of additional improvements for this property which are expected to be funded in 2011. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operator at pre-determined rates.

The Company has provided a guarantee of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds related to four theatres in Louisiana for which the Company earns a fee at an annual rate of 1.75% over the 30 year term of the bond. The Company has 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 March 31, 2011 related to this guarantee. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to this guarantee because payment by the Company is not probable.

The Company has certain commitments related to its mortgage note investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $35.0 million.

18. Subsequent Events

In conjunction with the sale by Ascentia Wine Estates (Ascentia) of the Gary Farrell brand and inventory assets on April 28, 2011, the company elected to sell its vineyard and winery assets to the same buyer. As a result, the Company terminated its lease on these assets with Ascentia and was paid $2.0 million in outstanding receivables and a $1.0 million lease termination fee. In addition, the Company received $6.5 million from the buyer for its vineyard and winery assets, which was equal to their net book value. This transaction was contemplated by the modification agreement between the Company and Ascentia dated January 13, 2011. See Note 5 for further description.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company closed on two public charter school transactions with HighMark School Development (Highmark) located in Arizona and Colorado with a combined commitment from the Company of $13.5 million.

Item 2. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Entertainment Properties Trust (“the Company”, “EPR”, “we” or “us”). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements” which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011, our total assets exceeded $2.7 billion, and included investments in 110 megaplex theatre properties (including two joint venture properties) and various restaurant, retail, entertainment, destination recreational and specialty properties located in 34 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. As of March 31, 2011, we had invested approximately $193.1 million in development land and property under development and approximately $306.9 million in mortgage financing for entertainment, recreational and specialty properties, including certain such properties under development.

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 seven mortgage notes totaling $306.9 million at March 31, 2011. Two of these mortgage notes, totaling $170.5 million at March 31, 2011, are secured by a water-park anchored entertainment village in Kansas City, Kansas (the first phase of which opened in July 2009 and the second phase is expected to open in 2011) as well as two other water-parks in Texas. The remaining five mortgage notes totaling $136.4 million at March 31, 2011 relate to financing provided for ski areas.

Also, as of March 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 $2.9 billion at March 31, 2011. Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined herein as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), investment in 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 March 31, 2011 (in thousands):


Rental properties, net of accumulated depreciation	$	1,867,094
Add back accumulated depreciation on rental properties		305,751
Land held for development		184,457
Property under development		8,638
Mortage notes and related accrued interest receivable, net		306,927
Investment in a direct financing lease, net		229,801
Investment in joint ventures		23,570
Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization		5,625
Add back accumlated amortization on intangible assets		9,049
Notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net		5,104


Total investments	$	2,946,016

Management believes that total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories our funds have been invested. Of our total investments of $2.9 billion at March 31, 2011, $2.0 billion or 68% related to megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and other retail parcels, $237.8 million or 8% related to public charter schools and $708.4 million or 24% related to other destination recreational and specialty properties. Furthermore, of the $708.4 million related to other destination recreational and specialty properties, $208.5 million related to vineyards and wineries, $180.0 million related to the land held for development in Sullivan County, New York, $170.5 million related to the water-park anchored entertainment village development in Kansas and two Texas water-parks and $149.4 million related to metropolitan ski areas. At March 31, 2011, affiliates of Imagine Schools, Inc.

(“Imagine”) are the lessees of 96% of our public charter school properties. In addition, 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.

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 facilities, 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 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.

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 exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including consolidation, revenue recognition, real estate useful lives, impairment of real estate values, real estate acquisitions, allowance for doubtful accounts, and mortgage and other notes receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no material changes to these policies.

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%.

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 has been expanded from $320 million to $382.5 million.

Investments

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. As a part of this transaction, we assumed a mortgage note payable on one of the four theatres with an outstanding balance of $3.8 million and a fair value of $4.1 million at the acquisition date.

On March 22, 2011, we purchased one charter school property from a third-party for a total investment of $4.3 million. The property is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is leased to Charter Schools Development Corporation. As a part of this transaction, we have agreed to finance an additional $2.3 million in redevelopment costs for this property. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements on this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we advanced $1.5 million under our secured mortgage loan agreements with SVV I, LLC and an affiliate of SVV I, LLC (together SVVI) to provide for additional improvements made to the Kansas City, Kansas and Texas water-parks. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at March 31, 2011 was $170.5 million.

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., including the impact of foreign currency and the settlement of the forward contract.

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. We completed the sale of one vineyard and winery investment in 2010 and we will continue to pursue opportunities to sell our other vineyards and wineries over time as appropriate for overall portfolio performance.

On January 13, 2011, we entered into a modification agreement with our vineyard and winery tenant at four properties, Ascentia Wine Estates. The modification agreement provides for, among other things, the sale of the real property and the operations of one winery to a third-party buyer and the payment of $2.0 million in rent related to the fourth quarter of 2010. The agreement also provides for the termination of the lease on another winery and vineyard, which previously had annual rent of approximately $5.5 million. We took possession of the property during the first quarter of 2011. Additionally, the leases on two other wineries and one other vineyard were amended to provide for a reduction in rent of $1.5 million to approximately $3.5 million annually. Our management has assessed the carrying value of these properties for impairment and no provision for impairment was considered necessary based on this analysis.

In conjunction with the sale by Ascentia Wine Estates (Ascentia) of the Gary Farrell brand and inventory assets on April 28, 2011, we elected to sell our vineyard and 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. In addition, we received $6.5 million from the buyer for our vineyard and winery assets, which was equal to their net book value. This transaction was contemplated by the modification agreement between us and Ascentia dated January 13, 2011. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further description.

We expect to enter 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.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010

Rental revenue was $55.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $53.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $1.5 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions completed in 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 $0.4 million and $0.7 million were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Straight-line rents of $0.3 million and $0.2 million were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Tenant reimbursements totaled $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our retail centers. The $0.4 million increase is primarily due as an increase in tenant reimbursements at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada and in New Rochelle, New York as well as the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Mortgage and other financing income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $13.6 million compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $1.0 million increase is due to our additional investments in public charter school properties, as well as increased real estate lending activities related to our mortgage loan agreement with SVVI.

Our property operating expense totaled $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. The $0.2 million increase resulted primarily from increases in property operating expenses at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada and New Rochelle, New York and was partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense associated with our vineyard and winery tenants.

Our general and administrative expense totaled $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of $0.4 million is primarily due to an increase in payroll related expenses and professional fees.

Costs associated with loan refinancing were $6.4 million for the three months ended March 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.

Our net interest expense increased by $1.9 million to $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase resulted from an increased weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable.

Transactions costs totaled $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase of $1.0 million is due to the write off of costs associated with terminated transactions.

Provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0.7 million and related to a note receivable that was settled in connection with the settlement with Mr. Cappelli and affiliates entered on June 18, 2010. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1.8 million and related to one of our vineyard and winery properties. There was no impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2010. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $1.0 million increase resulted primarily from asset acquisitions in 2010 and 2011.

Equity in income from joint ventures total $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The $0.6 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 of May 1, 2010. The $14.9 million contribution earns a preferred return of 15% per the partnership agreement.

Income from discontinued operations totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and was due to the operations of the Toronto Dundas Square property which was sold on March 29, 2011. Loss from discontinued operations totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and related to the operations of Toronto Dundas Square (including the gain

on acquisition and transaction costs related to the acquisition of this property on March 4, 2010); a parcel of land in Arroyo Grande, California disposed of in the third quarter of 2010; and an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York and a ten acre vineyard and winery facility in Napa Valley, California, which were both disposed of in the second quarter of 2010.

Gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due to the sale of Toronto Dundas Square. There was no gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Noncontrolling interest net income totaled $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of 1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and related to the consolidation of a VIE at the entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York. Our interest in the VIE was extinguished in connection with the settlement entered into with Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates on June 18, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $15.2 million at March 31, 2011. In addition, we had restricted cash of $31.5 million at March 31, 2011. Of the restricted cash at March 31, 2011, $6.6 million relates to cash held for our borrowers’ debt service reserves for mortgage notes receivable, $16.5 million relates to escrow balances required in connection with the sale of Toronto Dundas Square and the balance represents deposits required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.

Mortgage Debt, Senior Notes, Credit Facilities and Term Loan

As of March 31, 2011, we had total debt outstanding of $1.1 billion. As of March 31, 2011, $703.0 million of debt outstanding was fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a portion of our rental properties and mortgage notes receivable, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.1%.

We have $250.0 million in senior notes due on July 15, 2020. The notes bear interest at 7.75%. Interest is payable on July 15 and January 15 of each year beginning on January 15, 2011 until the stated maturity date of July 15, 2020. The notes were issued at 98.29% of their principal amount and are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause the ratio of our debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause the ratio of secured debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of our total unencumbered assets to be not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt.

At March 31, 2011, we had $87.0 million in debt outstanding under our $382.5 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with interest at a floating rate. The facility has a term expiring December 1, 2013. The amount that we are able to borrow on our revolving credit facility is a function of the values and advance rates, as defined by the credit agreement, assigned to the assets included in the borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit and less other liabilities. As of March 31, 2011, our total availability under the revolving credit facility was $295.5 million.

Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, entertainment-related, public charter schools and other destination recreational and specialty properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with mortgage debt and the proceeds from equity offerings. Our revolving credit facility and our term loans are also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. We may also 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. At March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

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 $35.0 million and $33.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities was $157.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and net cash used in investing activities was $157.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net cash used by financing activities was $189.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and net cash provided by financing activities $121.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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.

Commitments

As of March 31, 2011, we had three theatre development projects and two retail development projects under construction for which we had agreed to finance the development costs. At March 31, 2011, we have commitments to fund approximately $18.3 million of additional improvements which are expected to be funded in 2011. 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.

We acquired one charter school property and have agreed to finance redevelopment costs. At March 31, 2011, we have commitments to fund approximately $2.3 million of additional improvements for this property which are expected to be funded in 2011. 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 property to the operator at pre-determined rates.

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 March 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.

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 its direct control. As of March 31, 2011, we had mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $35.0 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.

We have no significant consolidated debt that matures before 2012. During 2012, we have approximately $65.3 million of consolidated debt maturities. Our cash commitments, as described above, include additional commitments under various mortgage notes receivable totaling approximately $35.0 million. Of the $35.0 million of mortgage note receivable commitments, approximately $18.1 million is expected to be funded in 2011. Additionally, we expect to fund $20.6 million in 2011 for the theatre and retail developments as well as the redevelopment costs of one of our public charter school properties.

Our sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2011 to pay the above 2011 commitments include the remaining amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility of approximately $295.5 million and unrestricted cash on hand of $15.2 million. Accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we expect that our sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of 2011.

We believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt obligations for 2012 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” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2011).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2011, we had a 31.8% and 23.9% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We do not anticipate any material impact on our liquidity as a result of 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. We expect to earn a priority return of 15% on our additional contribution per the partnership agreement. We recognized income of $674 and $144 (in

thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recognized income of $96 and $89 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR II joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 $12.5 million at March 31, 2011 and matures in September 2013.

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 2011, we have paid Atlantic cash of $466 and $30 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 2.0% and 0.2% 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 March 31, 2011, we had invested $4.2 million in unconsolidated joint ventures for three theatre projects located in China. We recognized income of $4 (in thousands) from our investment in these joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2011. No income or loss was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

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 as well as the timing and size of new investments and dispositions may cause us to temporarily operate outside of this threshold. At March 31, 2011, this ratio was 34%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at March 31, 2011 was 29%; 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 $3.7 billion by aggregating the following at March 31, 2011

•

Common shares outstanding of 46,640,807 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $46.82 per share, or $2.2 billion;

•

Aggregate liquidation value of our Series B preferred shares of $80.0 million;

•

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 $1.1 billion.

Our interest coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 3.5 times and 3.2 times, respectively. Interest coverage is calculated as the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided by interest expense, gross (as calculated in the following table). We consider the interest coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to meet its interest expense obligations. Our calculation of the interest coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and

therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

The interest coverage amount per the above table is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures. It is most directly comparable to the GAAP liquidity measure, “Net cash provided by operating activities,” and is not directly comparable to the GAAP liquidity measures, “Net cash used in investing activities” and “Net cash provided by financing activities.” The interest coverage amount can be reconciled to “Net cash provided by operating activities” per the consolidated statements of cash flows included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as follows. Amounts below include the impact of discontinued operations, which are separately classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 2.5 times and 2.3 times, respectively. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that preferred share dividends are also added to the denominator. We consider the fixed charge coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to make its interest and preferred share dividend payments. Our calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures.

Our debt service coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 2.6 times and 2.4 times, respectively. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that recurring principal payments are also added to the denominator. We consider the debt service coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to make its debt service payments. Our calculation

of the debt service coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

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. FFO, as defined under the NAREIT definition and presented by us, is net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The following table summarizes our FFO, FFO per share and certain other financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (unaudited, in thousands, except per share information):

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of our 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of our 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and diluted FFO per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 because the effect is anti-dilutive.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)

In addition to FFO, AFFO is presented by adding to FFO non-cash impairment charges and provision for loan losses, transaction costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, costs associated with loan refinancing, share-based compensation expense to management and trustees and amortization of above market leases, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue, the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income and gain on acquisition. 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. AFFO 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 AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The following table summarizes our AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

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 are 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. We do not expect that the adoption of these new disclosure requirements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates 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 $382.5 million unsecured revolving credit facility with $87.0 million outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and a $10.7 million bond, both of which bear interest at a floating rate.

We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to mortgages or contractual agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the US dollar, on our four Canadian properties. We financed the acquisition of these 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 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 our 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 our 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 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 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 April to December 2011 and lock in an exchange rate of $0.99 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand monthly CAD denominated cash flows.

See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
