Dear Shareholder, 

The 2011 year was one of material advancement that built upon the 
major milestones of progress I chronicled for you in 2010. Progress was 
made on key initiatives and the results were clear in positive shareholder 
returns.  

2011 DIVIDEND INCREASE 

The clearest and strongest sign of progress and improved shareholder 
results was our increased common share dividend.  After two years of 
common dividends paid at the same level we increased it markedly. We 
raised our common dividend by 8%, from $2.60 to $2.80 a share. 

This was made possible by: 

  Continued outstanding portfolio performance 

  Portfolio expansion in 2010 and continued growth in 2011 

  Capital cost improvements enabled by our 2010 investment 

grade ratings 

DIVIDEND SUPPORT 

Portfolio Performance 

To go nearly a decade and a half without ever missing a month of rent 
in our primary area of investments, theatres, with over 100 locations, 
has been described by many as remarkable.  

During 2011 we were engaged in re-leasing and reopening the only 
theatre property non-renewal we have ever had.  The result reinforced 
the picture of a great collection of assets.  The former Grand 24 in 
Dallas, Texas was nearly immediately re-leased to Southern Theatres 
and Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar & Grill to operate as a 14 screen 
megaplex and co-located country & western performance venue and 
eatery.  This was a great demonstration of the strength of our theatre 
locations. 

 
 
Our portfolio of Charter Public Schools set new enrollment records for 
the 2011/2012 school year. 

Our portfolio of 11 ski properties completed their 2010/2011 year with 
record attendance and revenues. 

Our waterpark investments likewise set new records in attendance and 
revenues resulting in a payment of bonus rent under our percentage rent 
agreement. 

We experienced very strong performance throughout our property 
investment portfolio. 

Portfolio Expansion 

During the prior year, 2010, we were able to grow the portfolio by over 
$300 million and continued that progress with nearly $150 million in 
quality additions in 2011.  These investments at yields in excess of our 
cost of capital raised cash flow per share results. 

Capital Cost Improvements 

In mid-2010 we sought and received investment grade ratings based on 
the strong long-term performance of our portfolio and the low risk nature 
of our capital structure.  Since that time we have continued to improve 
our capital structure and reduce its cost. 

Early in 2011 we refinanced our bank syndicated short term line of 
credit for the first time since being rated by the credit agencies.  
Notably, we were able to expand it by about 20%, extend its duration 
by about 40%, and significantly lower its cost by about 40%; a very 
good result. 

Likewise in late 2011 we were able to secure a new bank syndicated 
term credit facility.  Negotiated in 2011 but closed just after the 2012 
New Year, we achieved the lowest cost of borrowing in our history.  
We added a 5 year $240 million credit facility that is fixed for the first 
4 years at a rate of 2.7%. 

We have been able to reduce our cost of borrowing and as we convert 
from amortizing secured debt to non-amortizing unsecured debt we 
have been able to increase cash flows available to support increased 
dividend levels. 

OTHER NOTABLE ITEMS 

During the year EPR executed its largest asset sale in its history.  We 
sold the retail and office mixed use project in downtown Toronto, 
Canada known as Dundas Square.  The development was anchored by 
a 24 screen AMC megaplex and was largely an entertainment focused 
retail center.  EPR originally invested in the development as a mezzanine 
lender but took control of the project during the 2009 financial crisis to 
preserve our investment.  Advised by many to walk away at great loss 
due to uncertainties, we persevered and were rewarded.  We not only 
recovered our investment but gained a profit as well. 

This sale early in the year created a strong liquidity position for the 
Company but the required time to redeploy that capital into new 
investments was one of the few things that created a downward drag on 
per share earnings. 

We made progress during the year selling down about 15% of our 
investment position in vineyards and wineries that performed poorly in 
the massive economic downturn of 2008 and 2009 and were deemed 
non-strategic for the future of the Company.  Again without the 
exaggerated haste advised by many we have exercised patience and 
realized a two-thirds recovery of our investments.   

We also made progress through the year on a path toward 
reinvigorating our land investment in the New York Catskill Mountains at 
the site of the well-known former Concord resort.  Originally one of a 
number of lenders, we took control of this asset following the 2009 
financial crisis again to secure our investment much as the project in 
Toronto described above.  We have been able to secure the 
participation of the incumbent gaming operator in the area to take 
advantage of the favorable gaming operations entitlement awarded the 

property.  We now look toward a future significant contribution from this 
dormant asset. 

TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN 

The combination of all the preceding with capital markets, that were 
more stable but still somewhat jittery from the memory of the economic 
collapse of ‘08/’09 and the looming sovereign debt problems in the 
European Union, produced a strong overall economic result for the EPR 
shareholder.  The total shareholder return performance in 2011 was 
over 17% based on average daily closing prices and our substantial 
dividend of $2.80 per share. 

OUTLOOK 

The very good news is that the outlook for 2012 has already been 
reinforced as quite positive with another significant common dividend 
increase.  We have already announced our 2011 dividend level of 
$2.80 per share will be increased in 2012 by 7% to $3.00 per share. 

Our regular progress is chronicled in events but is really enabled by our 
consistent and disciplined adherence to our expressed key principles. 

We remain specialized investors in niche classes of assets that 
reflect high growth opportunities along with stable and attractive 
returns. 

We remain focused on a limited number of categories in which 
we maintain a depth of knowledge and relationships. 

We remain dynamic, expanding our portfolio in our proven 
investment categories with an eye for new ones that fit our 
stringent requirements. 

We remain disciplined in our adherence to rigorous underwriting 
centered on key industry and property level cash flow criteria. 

We remain proven, yielding results superior to relevant indexes 
and in our dedication to a substantial cash dividend. 

Once again I want for all of us at EPR to express gratitude for the 
opportunity to serve you.  We expect to maintain dedicated to the 
principles expressed and produce results to enjoy and in which we can 
take pride.

General

PART I

Entertainment Properties Trust (“we,” “us,” “our,” “EPR” or the “Company”) was formed on August 22, 1997 as a 
Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and an initial public offering of our common shares of beneficial interest 
(“common shares”) was completed on November 18, 1997. Since that time, the Company has grown into a leading 
specialty  REIT  with  an  investment  portfolio  that  includes  megaplex  theatres,  entertainment  retail  centers  (centers 
typically anchored by an entertainment component such as a megaplex theatre and containing other entertainment-
related  or  retail  properties),  public  charter  schools  and  other  destination  recreational  and  specialty  properties. The 
underwriting of our investments is centered on key industry and property cash flow criteria. As further explained under 
“Growth Strategies” below, our investments are also guided by a focus on inflection opportunities that are associated 
with or support enduring uses, excellent executions, attractive economics and an advantageous market position.

We are a self-administered REIT. As of December 31, 2011, we had total assets of approximately $3.1 billion (before 
accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.3 billion). Our investments are generally structured as long-term triple-
net leases that require the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of 
the property, or as long-term mortgages with economics similar to our triple-net lease structure.

As  of  December 31,  2011, our  real  estate  portfolio  was  comprised  of  approximately  $2.6  billion  in  assets  (before 
accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.3 billion) and consisted of interests in:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

112 megaplex theatre properties (including two joint venture properties) located in 33 states and Ontario, 
Canada;

eight  entertainment  retail  centers  located  in  Westminster,  Colorado;  New  Rochelle,  New York; Burbank, 
California; Suffolk, Virginia; and Ontario, Canada;

33 public charter school properties located in ten states and the District of Columbia;

other specialty properties, including eight wineries and five vineyards located in California and Washington 
and a metropolitan ski property located in Ohio;

land parcels leased to restaurant and retail operators adjacent to several of our theatre properties;

approximately $22.8 million in construction in progress for real estate development; and

approximately $184.5 million in undeveloped land inventory.

As of December 31, 2011, our real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of approximately 8.8 million 
square feet and was 99% occupied and our remaining real estate portfolio consisted of 4.4 million square feet and was 
96% occupied. The combined real estate portfolio consisted of 13.2 million square feet and was 98% occupied. Our 
theatre properties are leased to 13 different leading theatre operators in 33 states and Ontario, Canada. For the year 
ended December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by AMC.

As of December 31, 2011, we had invested approximately $233.6 million, net of initial direct costs of $1.8 million, in 
27 public charter school properties leased under a master lease to Imagine Schools, Inc. (“Imagine”). We own the fee 
interest in these properties; however, due to the terms of this lease it is accounted for as a direct financing lease.  In 
addition, we own six public charter school properties leased to four other operators.  Our public charter school properties 
are located in ten states and the District of Columbia.

As of December 31, 2011, we had the following mortgage notes receivable with an outstanding balance of approximately 
$325.1 million (including accrued interest):

• 

• 

$178.4 million in mortgage financing secured by a water-park anchored entertainment village in Kansas City, 
Kansas as well as two other water-parks in Texas ; and

$145.4 million in mortgage financing for ten metropolitan ski properties and development land located in New 
Hampshire, Vermont, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

5

• 

$1.3 million in mortgage financing related to the development a public charter school.

Also, as of December 31, 2011, we had five other notes receivable with an outstanding balance of $5.1 million (including 
accrued interest) net of a provision for an aggregate loan loss of $8.2 million.

Our total investments were approximately $3.0 billion at December 31, 2011. Total investments is a non-GAAP financial 
measure defined herein as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties and rental properties held for sale (before 
accumulated  depreciation),  land  held  for  development,  property  under  development,  mortgage  notes  receivable 
(including  related  accrued  interest  receivable),  net,  investment  in  a  direct  financing  lease,  net,  investment  in  joint 
ventures,  intangible  assets  (before  accumulated  amortization)  and  notes  receivable  and  related  accrued  interest 
receivable, net. Below is a reconciliation of the carrying value of total investments to the constituent items in the 
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

Management believes that total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across 
which asset categories the Company’s funds have been invested.  Of our total investments of  $3.0 billion at December 31, 
2011, $2.0 billion or 68% related to megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and other retail parcels, $286.2 
million or 10% related to public charter schools and $667.5 million or 22% related to other destination recreational 
and  specialty  properties.  Furthermore,  of  the  $667.5  million  related  to  other  destination  recreational  and  specialty 
properties,  $158.4  million  related  to  metropolitan  ski  areas,  $178.4  million  related  to  the  water-park  anchored 
entertainment village development in Kansas and two Texas water-parks, $180.0 million related to the land held for 
development in Sullivan County, New York and $150.7 million related to vineyards and wineries. At December 31, 
2011, affiliates of Imagine are the lessees of  82% of our public charter school properties. Similarly, Peak Resorts, Inc. 
(“Peak”) is the lessee of our metropolitan ski area in Ohio and is the mortgagor on five notes receivable secured by ten 
metropolitan ski areas and related development land.

As further described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 
during the year ended December 31, 2011, $42.3 million, or approximately 14% of our total revenue was derived from 
our  four  entertainment  retail  centers  in  Ontario,  Canada. The Company’s wholly-owned  subsidiaries  that  hold  the 
Canadian  entertainment  retail  centers  and  third  party  debt  represent  approximately  $144.6  million  or  10%  of  the 
Company’s equity as of December 31, 2011.

We aggregate the financial information of all our investments into one reportable segment because our investments 
have similar economic characteristics and because we do not internally report and during 2011 we were not internally 
organized by investment or transaction type.

We believe destination entertainment, entertainment-related, public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other 
recreational and specialty properties are highly enduring sectors of the real estate industry and that, as a result of our 

6

focus on properties in these sectors, industry knowledge and the industry relationships of our management, we have a 
competitive advantage in providing capital to operators of these types of properties. We believe this focused niche 
approach offers the potential for higher growth and better yields.

During the past two years, we have taken significant steps to implement our strategy of migrating to an unsecured debt 
structure and maintaining significant liquidity.  In 2010, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured notes and entered into 
a new $320.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. During 2011 and early 2012, we amended our unsecured 
revolving credit facility to an increased capacity of $400 million at a significantly lower interest rate spread and entered 
into a new $240 million term loan.  Having enhanced our liquidity position, strengthened our balance sheet and obtained 
access to the unsecured debt markets, we believe we are better positioned to aggressively pursue potential investments, 
acquisitions and financing transaction opportunities that may become available to us from time to time.

We believe our management’s knowledge and industry relationships have facilitated favorable opportunities for us to 
acquire,  finance  and  lease  properties.  Historically,  our  primary  challenges  have  been  locating  suitable  properties, 
negotiating favorable lease or financing terms, and managing our real estate portfolio as we have continued to grow. 
We are particularly focused on property categories which allow us to use our experience to mitigate some of the risks 
inherent in the current economic environment. We cannot provide any assurance that any such potential investment or 
acquisition opportunities will arise in the near future, or that we will actively pursue any such opportunities.

Megaplex Theatres

A significant portion of our assets consist of megaplex theatres.  Megaplex theatres typically are multi-screen with 
stadium-style seating (seating with elevation between rows to provide unobstructed viewing) and are equipped with 
amenities that significantly enhance the audio and visual experience of the patron. We believe the development of new 
generation megaplex theatres, including the introduction of new digital cinema and 3-D technology, has accelerated 
the obsolescence of many of the previous generation of multiplex theatres by setting new standards for moviegoers, 
who, in our experience, have demonstrated their preference for the more attractive surroundings, wider variety of films, 
enhanced quality of visual presentation and superior customer service typical of megaplex theatres.

We expect the development of megaplex theatres to continue in the United States and abroad over the long-term. With 
the  development  of  the  stadium  style  megaplex  theatre  as  the  preeminent  format  for  cinema  exhibition,  the  older 
generation of smaller sloped theatres has generally experienced a significant downturn in attendance and performance. 
As a result of the significant capital commitment involved in building megaplex theatres and the experience and industry 
relationships of our management, we believe we will continue to have opportunities to provide capital to exhibition 
businesses for development of new megaplex theatres.

The success of several of our larger 24 and 30 screen properties has resulted in other exhibitors building properties that 
have reduced the 20 to 25 mile customer drawing range that these properties previously enjoyed. As a result of these 
competitive pressures, we may, at the expiration of the primary term of a lease, reduce the number of screens at a 
property to better reflect the existing market demands. Any such screen reduction will create an opportunity to reclaim 
a portion of the former theatre for conversion to another use, while retaining the majority of the building for a newly 
re-configured theatre. In addition to positioning expiring theatre assets for continued success, the redevelopment of 
these assets creates an opportunity to diversify the Company's tenant base.

Additionally, many theatre operators are expanding their food and beverage offerings, including the introduction of 
varying in-theatre dining options with alcohol availability.  The introduction of these enhanced food and beverage 
offerings, along with the technological improvements of digital projection, large-format and 3-D presentation, should 
continue to drive future growth and create opportunities to deploy capital both in the US and abroad. 

Entertainment Retail Centers

We continue to seek opportunities for the development of additional restaurant, retail and other entertainment venues 
around our existing portfolio. The opportunity to capitalize on the traffic generation of our market-dominant theatres 
to create entertainment retail centers (“ERC’s”) not only strengthens the execution of the megaplex theatre but adds 

7

diversity  to  our  tenant  and  asset  base. We have  and  will  continue  to  evaluate  our  existing  portfolio  for  additional 
development of retail and entertainment density, and we will also continue to evaluate the purchase or financing of 
existing ERC’s that have demonstrated strong financial performance and meet our quality standards. The leasing and 
property management requirements of our ERC’s are generally met through the use of third-party professional service 
providers.

Although we are primarily a long-term investor, we may also sell assets if we believe that it is in the best interest of 
our shareholders.  During 2011, we sold our Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center and related signage 
business in downtown Toronto for gross sale proceeds of approximately $226 million Canadian and recorded a net gain 
of $18.3 million U.S. 

Public Charter Schools

Public charter schools are tuition-free, independent schools that are publicly funded by local, state and federal tax 
dollars based on enrollment.  Like district public schools, public charter schools are required to meet both state and 
federal academic standards.  Driven by the need to improve the quality of public education and provide more school 
choice in America, public charter schools are one of the fastest growing segments of the multi-billion dollar educational 
facilities sector, and a critical need exists for the financing of new and refurbished educational facilities. To meet this 
need, we have established relationships with public charter school operators and developers across the country and 
expect to continue to develop our leadership position in providing real estate financing in this area.

Public charter schools are operated pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities and are 
dependent upon funding from such sources.  Due to revenue shortfalls and other factors, these authorities have pressure 
to reduce their spending budgets and, as a result, educational funding has been reduced in some cases and may continue 
to be reduced in the future. This can impact our tenants' operations and potentially their ability to pay our scheduled 
rent. However, these reductions differ state by state and have historically been more significant at the post-secondary 
education level than at the K-12 level that our tenants' serve. Furthermore, while there can be no assurance as to the 
level of these cuts, we analyze each state's fiscal situation and commitment to the charter school movement before 
providing financing in a new state, and also factor in anticipated reductions (as applicable) in the states in which we 
do decide to do business.

Metropolitan Ski Areas

Our daily attendance ski park model provides a sustainable advantage for the value conscious consumer, providing 
outdoor entertainment during the winter. All of the high-quality ski and snowboarding areas that serve as collateral for 
our mortgage notes in this area as well as our one owned property offer snowmaking capabilities and provide a variety 
of terrains and vertical drop options. The primary appeal of our ski parks lies in the convenient, low cost and reliable 
experience consumers can expect. Skiers and snowboarders are passionate about their sport and they invest in equipment 
to enjoy it. However, not every enthusiast has the time or money to travel to and stay at expensive mountain locations. 
Given that all of our ski parks are located near major metropolitan areas, they offer skiing and snowboarding as an 
everyday experience, not simply as a once-a-season vacation. Furthermore, advanced snowmaking capabilities increase 
the reliability of the experience versus other ski areas that do not have such capabilities.  We expect to continue to 
pursue opportunities in this area.

Vineyards and Wineries

The wine industry was adversely affected by the recent economic downturn which affected several of our tenants' ability 
to perform under their leases.  As a result, we have taken back certain properties due to non-performance under the 
related leases, and have granted concessions to other tenants in the form of rent abatement or rent deferral. During the 
second quarter of 2011, we engaged outside brokers to list all of our vineyard and winery properties for sale or lease 
with the primary focus on selling all these assets within two years.  During 2011, we completed the sale of three vineyard 
and winery investments.  

8

Other Recreational and Specialty Properties

The venue replacement cycle in theatrical exhibition and public charter schools each represent what we consider to be 
an inflection opportunity, a demand for new capital stimulated by a need to upgrade to new technologies and delivery 
formats. We expect other destination retail, recreational and specialty properties to undergo similar transformations 
stimulated by growth, renewal and/or restructuring. We have begun and expect to continue to pursue opportunities to 
provide capital for such new generations of attractive and successful properties in selected niche markets.

Business Objectives and Strategies

Our long-term primary business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing 
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and dividends per share (See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Funds From Operations” for a discussion of FFO). Our prevailing 
strategy  is  to  focus  on  long-term  investments  in  a  limited  number  of  categories  in  which  we  maintain  a  depth  of 
knowledge and relationships, and which we believe offer sustained performance throughout all economic cycles. We 
intend to achieve this objective by continuing to execute the Growth Strategies, Operating Strategies and Capitalization 
Strategies described below.

Growth Strategies

As a part of our growth strategy, we will consider acquiring or developing additional megaplex theatre properties,  
public  charter  schools  and  metropolitan  ski  areas,  and  acquiring  or  developing  other  single-tenant  entertainment, 
entertainment-related, recreational or specialty properties. We will also consider acquiring or developing additional 
ERC’s. We may  also  pursue  opportunities  to  provide  mortgage  financing  for  these  same  property  types  in  certain 
situations where this structure is more advantageous than owning the underlying real estate.

Our investing strategy centers on five guiding principles which we call our Five Star Investment Strategy:

Inflection Opportunity
We look for a new generation of facilities emerging as a result of age, technology, or change in the lifestyle of consumers 
which create development, renewal or restructuring opportunities requiring significant capital.

Enduring Value
We look for real estate that supports activities that are commercially successful and have a reasonable basis for continued 
and sustainable customer demand in the future. Further, we seek circumstances where the magnitude of change in the 
new generation of facilities adds substantially to the customer experience.

Excellent Execution
We seek attractive locations and best-of-class executions that create market-dominant properties which we believe 
create a competitive advantage and enhance sustainable customer demand within the category despite a potential change 
in tenant. We minimize the potential for turnover by seeking tenants with a reliable track record of customer service 
and satisfaction.

Attractive Economics
We seek investments that provide accretive returns initially and increasing returns over time with rent escalators and 
percentage rent features that allow participation in the financial performance of the property. Further, we are interested 
in investments that provide a depth of opportunity to invest sufficient capital to be meaningful to our total financial 
results and also provide diversity by market, geography or tenant operator.

Advantageous Position
In combination with the preceding principles, when investing we look for a competitive advantage such as unique 
knowledge of the category, access to industry information, a preferred tenant relationship or other relationships that 
provide access to sites and development projects.

Operating Strategies

Lease Risk Minimization
To avoid initial lease-up risks and produce a predictable income stream, we typically acquire single-tenant properties 
that are leased under long-term leases. We believe our willingness to make long-term investments in properties offers 
our tenants financial flexibility and allows tenants to allocate capital to their core businesses. Although we will continue 
to emphasize single-tenant properties, we have acquired and may continue to acquire multi-tenant properties we believe 
add shareholder value.

Lease Structure
We have structured our property acquisitions and leasing arrangements to achieve a positive spread between our cost 
of capital and the rentals paid by our tenants. We typically structure leases on a triple-net basis under which the tenants 
bear the principal portion of the financial and operational responsibility for the properties. During each lease term and 
any renewal periods, the leases typically provide for periodic increases in rent and/or percentage rent based upon a 
percentage of the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level. In our multi-tenant property leases and some of our 
theatre leases, we generally require the tenant to pay a common area maintenance (“CAM”) charge to defray its pro 
rata share of insurance, taxes and maintenance costs.

Mortgage Structure
We have structured our mortgages to achieve economics similar to our triple-net lease structure with a positive spread 
between our cost of capital and the interest paid by our tenants. During each mortgage term and any renewal periods, 
the notes typically provide for periodic increases in interest and/or participating features based upon a percentage of 
the tenant’s gross sales over a pre-determined level.

Tenant and Customer Relationships
We intend to continue developing and maintaining long-term working relationships with theatre, restaurant, retail, 
public charter school, metropolitan ski area and other recreation and specialty business operators and developers by 
providing capital for multiple properties on an international, national or regional basis, thereby creating efficiency and 
value for both the operators and the Company.

Portfolio Diversification
We will endeavor to further diversify our asset base by property type, geographic location and tenant or customer. In 
pursuing this diversification strategy, we will target theatre, restaurant, retail, public charter school, metropolitan ski 
area and other recreational and specialty business operators that we view as leaders in their market segments and have 
the ability to compete effectively and perform under their agreements with the Company.

Development
We intend to continue developing properties that meet our guiding principles. We generally do not begin development 
of a single tenant property without a signed lease providing for rental payments during the development period that are 
commensurate with our level of capital investment. In the case of a multi-tenant development, we generally require a 
significant amount of the development to be pre-leased prior to construction to minimize lease-up risk.  In addition, to 
minimize  overhead  costs  and  to  provide  the  greatest  amount  of  flexibility,  we  generally  outsource  construction 
management to third party firms.

Capitalization Strategies

Debt and Equity Financing
Our debt to gross assets ratio (i.e. long-term debt of the Company as a percentage of total assets plus accumulated 
depreciation) was 38% at December 31, 2011.  We expect to maintain a debt to gross assets ratio of between 35% and 
45% going forward. While maintaining lower leverage mitigates the growth in per share results, we believe lower 
leverage and an emphasis on liquidity are prudent during the current economic cycle.

On October 13, 2011, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility at a significantly lower interest 
rate spread and increased its capacity to $400 million.  The facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2015 with a one 

10

year extension available at the Company's option.  Additionally, on January 5, 2012, we entered into a new $240 million 
five year term loan facility. The loan matures on January 5, 2017 and proceeds were used primarily to pay down our 
revolving credit facility to zero.  The unsecured revolving credit facility and the term loan are guaranteed by certain of 
our subsidiaries.  

Prior to 2010, we relied primarily on secured debt financings. Since then we completed out inaugural public senior 
unsecured note offering, our unsecured revolving credit facility and new term loan, which represent significant steps 
in the implementation of our strategy to migrate to an unsecured debt structure. In the future, we may from time to time 
seek to access the public and private credit markets on an opportunistic basis through the issuance of unsecured debt 
securities. We believe this strategy will increase our access to capital and permit us to more efficiently match available 
debt and equity financing to our ongoing capital requirements.

Our sources of equity financing consist of the issuance of common shares as well as the issuance of preferred shares 
(including convertible preferred shares).  In addition to larger underwritten registered public offerings of both common 
and preferred shares, we have also offered shares pursuant to registered public offerings through the direct share purchase 
component of our Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (“DSP Plan”). While such offerings are 
generally smaller than a typical underwritten public offering, issuing common shares under the direct share purchase 
component of our DSP Plan allows us to access capital on a more frequent basis in a cost-effective manner. We expect 
to opportunistically access the equity markets in the future and, depending primarily on the size and timing of our equity 
capital needs, may continue to issue shares under the direct share purchase component of our DSP Plan.  Furthermore, 
we may issue shares in connection with acquisitions in the future.  

Joint Ventures
We  will  examine  and  may  pursue  potential  additional  joint  venture  opportunities  with  institutional  investors  or 
developers if the investments to which they relate meet our guiding principles discussed above. We may employ higher 
leverage in joint ventures.

Payment of Regular Distributions
We have paid and expect to continue to pay quarterly dividend distributions to our common and preferred shareholders. 
Our Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series C preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 5.75%, our 
Series D cumulative redeemable preferred shares (“Series D preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 7.375%, and 
our Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series E preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 9.00%. 
Among  the  factors  the  Company’s board  of  trustees  (“Board  of Trustees”) considers  in  setting  the  common  share 
distribution rate are the applicable REIT tax rules and regulations that apply to distributions, the Company’s results of 
operations, including FFO per share, and the Company’s Cash Available for Distribution (defined as net cash flow 
available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service, preferred dividends and other obligations).

Competition

We compete for real estate financing opportunities with other companies that invest in real estate, as well as traditional 
financial sources such as banks and insurance companies. REITs have financed and may continue to seek to finance 
destination entertainment, entertainment-related, public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other recreational 
or specialty properties as new properties are developed or become available for acquisition.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we had 27 full time employees.

Principal Executive Offices

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 909 Walnut Street, Suite 200, Kansas City, Missouri 64106; 
telephone (816) 472-1700.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors 

There  are  many  risks  and  uncertainties  that  can  affect  our  current  or  future  business,  operating  results,  financial 
performance or share price.  Here is a brief description of some of the important factors which could adversely affect 
our current or future business, operating results, financial condition or share price.  This discussion includes a number 
of forward-looking statements.  See “Forward Looking Statements.”

Risks That May Impact Our Financial Condition or Performance

Volatility in the financial markets may impair our ability to refinance existing obligations or obtain new financing 
for acquisition or development of properties. 
The global financial markets recently have undergone and may continue to experience pervasive and fundamental 
disruptions. While the capital markets have shown signs of improvement, the sustainability of an economic recovery 
is uncertain and additional levels of market disruption and volatility could materially adversely impact our ability to 
refinance our existing obligations as they mature or obtain new financing for acquisition or development of properties. 

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on 
favorable terms, if at all, and negatively impact the market price of our securities, including our common stock. 
The credit ratings of our senior unsecured debt and preferred equity securities are based on our operating performance, 
liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their 
rating analyses of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms 
of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings 
and in the event that our current credit ratings deteriorate, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs and it may be 
more difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a 
downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences under our 
current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.

An increase in interest rates could increase interest cost on new debt, and could materially adversely impact our 
ability to refinance existing debt, sell assets and limit our acquisition and development activities. 
If interest rates increase, so could our interest costs for any new debt. This increased cost could make the financing of 
any acquisition and development activity more costly. Rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing 
debt when it matures, or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced 
indebtedness. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our 
assets, thereby limiting our ability to reposition our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other 
conditions.

We previously made a significant investment in a planned casino and resort development, which is now the subject 
of ongoing litigation. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of this litigation. In the event of prolonged litigation 
or an unfavorable outcome, or other factors outside of the litigation, the casino project and resort development may 
be indefinitely delayed or canceled, which could have a material adverse effect on the casino project and resort 
development and/or our financial condition and results of operations.
We previously reached a settlement agreement with the developer of the planned casino and resort project in Sullivan 
County, New York and certain related affiliates, pursuant to which we acquired certain land at the project. Entities 

12

affiliated with the developer of the casino property subsequently commenced litigation against us and certain of our 
subsidiaries regarding matters addressed by the settlement agreement. We believe we have meritorious defenses to this 
litigation and intend to defend it vigorously. There can be no assurances, however, as to the duration or ultimate outcome 
of this litigation, nor can there be any assurances as to the costs we may incur in defending against and/or resolving 
this  litigation.  In  the  event  of  prolonged  litigation  or  an  unfavorable  outcome,  or  simply  as  a  result  of  economic 
conditions,  the  planned  casino  and  resort  development  may  be  indefinitely  delayed  or  canceled.  There  can  be  no 
assurance that such an indefinite delay or cancellation would not have a material adverse effect on our investment, 
which could cause us to record an impairment charge with respect to our interest in such property, and which could 
result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The failure of a bank to fund a request (or any portion of such request) by us to borrow money under one of our 
credit facilities could reduce our ability to make additional investments, fund our operations, service our debt and 
pay distributions.
We have existing credit facilities with several banking institutions. If any of these banking institutions which are a party 
to such credit facilities fails to fund a request (or any portion of such request) by us to borrow money under one of 
these existing credit facilities, our ability to make investments in our business, fund our operations and pay debt service 
and distributions could be reduced, each of which could result in a decline in the value of your investment.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could reduce the amount of cash we have available to pay 
distributions, make additional investments and service our debt.
We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize 
exposure to any one of these entities.  However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or “FDIC,” only insures 
interest-bearing accounts in amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank.  We currently have cash and cash 
equivalents and restricted cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels.  If any 
of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over $250,000.  
The loss of our deposits may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from our tenants, who 
may not be able to pay.
At any time, a tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition.  Similarly, a 
general decline in the economy may result in a decline in demand for space at our commercial properties.  Our financial 
results depend significantly on leasing space at our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, 
because a majority of our income comes from leasing real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness 
and funds available for distribution to our shareholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay 
their rent or if we are not able to maintain our levels of occupancy on favorable terms.  If tenants of a property cannot 
pay their rent or we are not able to maintain our levels of occupancy on favorable terms, there is also a risk that the fair 
value of the underlying property will be considered less than its carrying value and we may have to take a charge against 
earnings.  In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without 
delays and might incur substantial legal costs.

If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, that could diminish or eliminate the income we expect from that tenant's 
leases.  If a tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, we cannot be sure that we could recover the premises from the tenant 
promptly or from a trustee or debtor-in-possession in a bankruptcy proceeding relating to the tenant.  On the other hand, 
a bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to terminate its leases with us. If that happens, our claim against the 
bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to statutory limitations that might be substantially less than the 
remaining rent owed under the leases. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent would likely not be paid in 
full and we would also have to take a charge against earnings for any accrued straight-line rent receivable related to 
the leases.  

Specifically, the recent economic downturn has adversely affected the wine industry, and has severely impacted the 
cash flow of many of our vineyard and winery properties, which has resulted and may continue to result in their failure 
to have sufficient funds to support operations or make payments under their leases.  

13

We are  exposed  to  the  credit  risk  of  our  customers  and  counterparties  and  their  failure  to  meet  their  financial 
obligations could adversely affect our business. 
Our business is subject to credit risk. There is a risk that a customer or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations 
when due, particularly given the current state of the economy.  Customers and counterparties that owe us money may 
default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons.  Although 
we have procedures for reviewing credit exposures to specific customers and counterparties to address present credit 
concerns, default risk may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to detect or foresee. Some of our risk 
management methods depend upon the evaluation of information regarding markets, clients or other matters that are 
publicly available or otherwise accessible by us. That information may not, in all cases, be accurate, complete, up-to-
date or properly evaluated.  In addition, concerns about, or a default by, one customer or counterparty could lead to 
significant liquidity problems, losses or defaults by other customers or counterparties, which in turn could adversely 
affect us.  We may be materially and adversely affected in the event of a significant default by our customers and 
counterparties.

We could be adversely affected by a borrower's bankruptcy or default.
If a borrower becomes bankrupt or insolvent or defaults under its loan, that could force us to declare a default and 
foreclose on any available collateral.  As a result, future interest income recognition related to the applicable note 
receivable could be significantly reduced or eliminated.  There is also a risk that the fair value of the collateral, if any, 
will be less than the carrying value of the note and accrued interest receivable at the time of a foreclosure and we may 
have to take a charge against earnings.  If a property serves as collateral for a note, we may experience costs and delays 
in recovering the property in foreclosure or finding a substitute operator for the property.  If a mortgage we hold is 
subordinated to senior financing secured by the property, our recovery would be limited to any amount remaining after 
satisfaction of all amounts due to the holder of the senior financing.  In addition, to protect our subordinated investment, 
we  may  desire  to  refinance  any  senior  financing.    However, there  is  no  assurance  that  such  refinancing  would  be 
available or, if it were to be available, that the terms would be attractive.

Our theatre tenants may be adversely affected by the obsolescence of any older multiplex theatres they own or by 
any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets. 
The development of megaplex theatres has rendered many older multiplex theatres obsolete. To the extent our tenants 
own a substantial number of multiplexes, they have been, or may in the future be, required to take significant charges 
against their earnings resulting from the impairment of these assets. Megaplex theatre operators have also been and 
could in the future be adversely affected by any overbuilding of megaplex theatres in their markets and the cost of 
financing, building and leasing megaplex theatres.

The base term of some of our original theatre leases are beginning to expire and there is no assurance that such 
leases will be renewed at existing lease terms or that we can lease any re-claimed space from some of our larger 
theatres at economically favorable terms.
The base term of some of our original theatre leases are beginning to expire.  For theatres that are not performing as 
well as they did in the past, the tenants have and may continue to seek rent or other concessions or not renew at all.  
Furthermore, some tenants of our larger megaplex theatres desire to down-size the theatres they lease to respond to 
market trends.  As a result, these tenants have and may continue to seek rent or other concessions from us, including 
requiring us to down-size the theatres or otherwise modify the properties in order to renew their leases.   Furthermore, 
while  any  such  screen  reductions  would  likely  create  opportunities  to  reclaim  a  portion  of  the  former  theatres  for 
conversion to other uses, there is no guarantee that we can re-lease such space or that such leases would be at economically 
favorable terms.  

Operating risks in the entertainment industry may affect the ability of our tenants to perform under their leases. 
The  ability  of  our  tenants  to  operate  successfully  in  the  entertainment  industry  and  remain  current  on  their  lease 
obligations depends on a number of factors, including the availability and popularity of motion pictures, the performance 
of those pictures in tenants' markets, the allocation of popular pictures to tenants, the release window (represents the 
time that elapses from the date of a picture's theatrical release to the date it is available on other mediums) and the terms 
on which the pictures are licensed. Neither we nor our tenants control the operations of motion picture distributors. 
Megaplex theatres represent a greater capital investment, and generate higher rents, than the previous generation of 
multiplex theatres. For this reason, the ability of our tenants to operate profitably and perform under their leases could 

14

be dependent on their ability to generate higher revenues per screen than multiplex theatres typically produce.  The 
success of “out-of-home” entertainment venues such as megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and recreational 
properties also depends on general economic conditions and the willingness of consumers to spend time and money 
on out-of-home entertainment.

Real estate is a competitive business. 
Our business operates in highly competitive environments. We compete with a large number of real estate property 
owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors 
of competition are rent or interest charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality 
of services provided. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below the rental rates we are currently charging our 
tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently 
charge in order to retain tenants when our tenants' leases expire.  Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends 
of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and 
customers,  availability  and  cost  of  capital,  construction  and  renovation  costs,  taxes,  governmental  regulations, 
legislation and population trends.    

A single tenant represents a substantial portion of our lease revenues.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by 
AMC, one of the nation's largest movie exhibition companies, under leases for megaplex theatre properties. AMCE 
Entertainment, Inc. (“AMCE”) has guaranteed AMC's performance under substantially all of their leases.  We have 
diversified and expect to continue to diversify our real estate portfolio by entering into lease transactions with a number 
of other leading operators. Nevertheless, our revenues and our continuing ability to service our debt and pay shareholder 
dividends are currently substantially dependent on AMC's performance under its leases and AMCE's performance under 
its guarantee.  

We believe AMC occupies a strong position in the industry and we intend to continue acquiring and leasing back or 
developing  new AMC theatres.  However, AMC and AMCE are  susceptible  to  the  same  risks  as  our  other  tenants 
described herein.  If for any reason AMC failed to perform under its lease obligations and AMCE did not perform under 
its guarantee, we could be required to reduce or suspend our shareholder distributions and may not have sufficient funds 
to support operations or service our debt until substitute tenants are obtained. If that happened, we cannot predict when 
or whether we could obtain substitute quality tenants on acceptable terms. 

A single tenant leases or is the mortgagor of all our investments related to metropolitan ski areas and a single tenant 
leases a significant number of our public charter school properties.
Peak is the lessee of our metropolitan ski area in Ohio and is the mortgagor on five notes receivable secured by ten 
metropolitan ski areas and related development land.  Similarly, Imagine is the lessee of a significant number of our 
public charter school properties.  If Peak failed to perform under its lease and mortgage loan obligations, and/or Imagine 
failed to perform under its master lease, we may need to reduce our shareholder distributions and may not have sufficient 
funds to support operations or service our debt until substitute operators are obtained.  If that happened, we cannot 
predict when or whether we could obtain quality substitute tenants or mortgagors on acceptable terms.

Public charter schools are operated pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities 
and are dependent upon funding from such regulatory authorities.  We could be adversely affected by a public 
charter school's failure to comply with its charter, non-renewal of a charter upon expiration or by its reduction or 
loss of funding.  
Our public charter school properties operate pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities, 
which are generally shorter than our lease terms, and most of the schools have undergone or expect to undergo compliance 
audits or reviews by such regulatory authorities.  Such audits and reviews examine the financial as well as the academic 
performance of the school.  Adverse audit or review findings could result in non-renewal, revocation or termination of 
a charter school's charter, or in some cases, a reduction in the amount of state funding, repayment of previously received 
state funding or other economic sanctions.  Our public charter school tenants are also dependent upon funding from 
various state or other regulatory authorities, which are currently experiencing budgetary constraints, and any reduction 
or loss of such funding could adversely affect a public charter school's ability to comply with its charter and/or pay its 
obligations.  

15

Although  our  public  charter  school  tenants  have  not  experienced  a  significant  number  of  charter  non-renewals, 
revocations or terminations to date, there can be no assurances that such tenants' charters will not be subject to these 
actions in the future.  Imagine, an operator of public charter schools, is a lessee of a significant number of our public 
charter school properties.  Recently, some of the public charter schools operated by Imagine that are located on our 
properties have been subject to compliance audits or reviews that resulted in probationary actions and, in one case, 
charter revocation.  We are currently in the process of resolving these issues with Imagine; however there can be no 
assurances that any such solutions will satisfy either the respective regulatory body or the Company, and could result 
in the Company pursuing its remedies in the lease.  

We believe that we have taken actions to mitigate, or have otherwise accounted for, some of the risks associated with 
our public charter school properties.  For instance, Imagine is required to maintain irrevocable letters of credit to secure 
a portion of their annual lease payment owed to us under the master lease agreement.  Subject to our approval and 
certain other terms and conditions, the master lease agreement also allows Imagine to repurchase from us the public 
charter school properties that are causing technical defaults and, in substitution for such properties, sell to us public 
charter school properties that would otherwise comply with the lease agreement. However, there is no guarantee that 
acceptable schools will be available for substitutions or that such substitutions will be completed.  In addition, while 
governing authorities may approve substitute operators for failed public charter schools to ensure continuity for students, 
we cannot predict when or whether applicable governing authorities would approve such substitute operators, nor can 
we predict whether we could reach lease agreements with such substitute tenants on acceptable terms.

There are risks inherent in having indebtedness and the use of such indebtedness to fund acquisitions.
We currently utilize debt to fund portions of our operations and acquisitions.  In a rising interest rate environment, the 
cost of our variable rate debt and any new variable rate debt will increase.  We have used leverage to acquire properties 
and expect to continue to do so in the future.  Although the use of leverage is common in the real estate industry, our 
use of debt exposes us to some risks. If a significant number of our tenants fail to make their lease payments and we 
don't have sufficient cash to pay principal and interest on the debt, we could default on our debt obligations.  A substantial 
amount of our debt financing is secured by mortgages on our properties.  If we fail to meet our mortgage payments, 
the lenders could declare a default and foreclose on those properties.  

Most of our debt instruments contain balloon payments which may adversely impact our financial performance and 
our ability to pay distributions.
Most of our financing arrangements require us to make a lump-sum or "balloon" payment at maturity. There can be no 
assurance that we will be able to refinance such debt on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot refinance 
such debt on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or pay 
higher interest rates, either of which would have an adverse impact on our financial performance and ability to make 
distributions to our shareholders.

We must obtain new financing in order to grow.
As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable net income to shareholders in the form of dividends. 
Other than deciding to make these distributions in our common shares, we are limited in our ability to use internal 
capital to acquire properties and must continually raise new capital in order to continue to grow and diversify our 
investment portfolio. Our ability to raise new capital depends in part on factors beyond our control, including conditions 
in equity and credit markets, conditions in the industries in which our tenants are engaged and the performance of real 
estate investment trusts generally. We continually consider and evaluate a variety of potential transactions to raise 
additional capital, but we cannot assure that attractive alternatives will always be available to us, nor that our share 
price will increase or remain at a level that will permit us to continue to raise equity capital publicly or privately.

Covenants  in  our  debt  instruments  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  our  acquisitions  and 
development activities.
The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior 
consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our unsecured 
revolving credit facility, term loan facility, senior notes and other loans that we may obtain in the future contain certain 
cross-default provisions as well as customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur 
indebtedness, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt based upon the level of our ratio of total debt to 

16

total assets, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense and fixed charges.  Our 
ability to borrow under both our unsecured revolving credit facility and our term loan facility is also subject to compliance 
with certain other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable 
debt  instrument,  and  we  may  then  be  required  to  repay  such  debt  with  capital  from  other  sources.  Under  those 
circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms. Additionally, 
our ability to satisfy current or prospective lenders' insurance requirements may be adversely affected if lenders generally 
insist  upon  greater  insurance  coverage  against  acts  of  terrorism  than  is  available  to  us  in  the  marketplace  or  on 
commercially reasonable terms.

We rely on debt financing, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan facility and 
debt secured by individual properties, to finance our acquisition and development activities and for working capital. If 
we are unable to obtain financing from these or other sources, or to refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our 
financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. 

We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies and this may create risks.
We may acquire or develop properties or acquire other real estate related companies when we believe that an acquisition 
or development is consistent with our business strategies.  We may not, however, succeed in consummating desired 
acquisitions or in completing developments on time. In addition, we may face competition in pursuing acquisition or 
development opportunities that could increase our costs.  Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or 
time-consuming and could divert management's attention. Acquisitions or developments in new markets or industries 
where we do not have the same level of market knowledge may expose us to unanticipated risks in those markets and 
industries to which we are unable to effectively respond and, as a result, our performance in those new markets and 
industries and overall may be worse than anticipated.  In addition, there is no assurance that planned third party financing 
related to acquisition and development opportunities will be provided on a timely basis or at all, thus increasing the 
risk that such opportunities are delayed or fail to be completed as originally contemplated.  We may also abandon 
acquisition or development opportunities that we have begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already 
incurred  and  have  devoted  management  time  to  a  matter  not  consummated.  Furthermore,  our  acquisitions  of  new 
properties or companies will expose us to the liabilities of those properties or companies, some of which we may not 
be aware at the time of acquisition. In addition, development of our existing properties presents similar risks.

Our real estate investments are concentrated in entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties 
and  a  significant  portion  of  those  investments  are  in  megaplex  theatre  properties,  making  us  more  vulnerable 
economically than if our investments were more diversified.
We acquire, develop or finance entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational properties. A significant portion 
of  our  investments  are  in  megaplex  theatre  properties.   Although  we  are  subject  to  the  general  risks  inherent  in 
concentrating investments in real estate, the risks resulting from a lack of diversification become even greater as a result 
of  investing  primarily  in  entertainment,  entertainment-related  and  recreational  properties.    These  risks  are  further 
heightened by the fact that a significant portion of our investments are in megaplex theatre properties.  Although a 
downturn in the real estate industry could significantly adversely affect the value of our properties, a downturn in the 
entertainment, entertainment-related and recreational industries could compound this adverse effect.  These adverse 
effects could be more pronounced than if we diversified our investments to a greater degree outside of entertainment, 
entertainment-related and recreational properties or, more particularly, outside of megaplex theatre properties. 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available 
for payment of dividends to our shareholders. 
If we fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we will be taxed as a corporation. We are organized 
and believe we qualify as a REIT, and intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT.  
However, we cannot  provide any assurance that we have always qualified and will remain qualified in the future. This 
is because qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and 
depends on facts and circumstances not entirely within our control.  In addition, future legislation, new regulations, 
administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the tax laws, the application of the tax laws 
to our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of that qualification.

17

 
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year (including any prior taxable year for which the statute of 
limitations remains open) we would face tax consequences that could substantially reduce the funds available for the 
service of our debt and payment of dividends: 

•  We would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders in computing our taxable income 

and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates;

•  We could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes;
•  Unless we are entitled to relief under statutory provisions, we could not elect to be treated as a REIT for 

four taxable years following the year in which we were disqualified; and

•  We could be subject to tax penalties and interest.

In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to pay dividends.  As a result of these factors, 
our failure to qualify as a REIT could adversely affect the market price for our shares.

We will depend on dividends and distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries to service our debt and make 
distributions to our shareholders. The creditors of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the 
subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us.
Substantially all of our assets are held through our subsidiaries.  We depend on these subsidiaries for substantially all 
of our cash flow.  The creditors of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary's 
obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to us.  Thus, our ability 
to service our debt obligations and make distributions to holders of our common and preferred shares depends on our 
subsidiaries' ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to us.  Our subsidiaries 
are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligations, other than guaranties of our debt, to make funds available 
to us.

Our development financing arrangements expose us to funding and purchase risks.
Our ability to meet our construction financing obligations which we have undertaken or may enter into in the future 
depends on our ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the required amounts. There is no assurance we can obtain 
this financing or that the financing rates available will ensure a spread between our cost of capital and the rent or interest 
payable to us under the related leases or mortgage notes receivable.  As a result, we could fail to meet our construction 
financing obligations which, in turn, could result in failed projects and related foreclosures and penalties, each of which 
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and business.  

We have a limited number of employees and loss of personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the 
value of our common shares.
We had 27 full-time employees as of December 31, 2011 and, therefore, the impact we may feel from the loss of an 
employee may be greater than the impact such a loss would have on a larger organization.  We are dependent on the 
efforts of the following individuals: David M. Brain, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Gregory K. Silvers, 
our Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, General Counsel and Secretary; Mark A. Peterson, our Senior 
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Morgan G. Earnest, our Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer 
and Michael L. Hirons, our Vice President - Finance. While we believe that we could find replacements for our personnel, 
the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares.

Risks That Apply to our Real Estate Business

Real estate income and the value of real estate investments fluctuate due to various factors.
The value of real estate fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These 
conditions may also limit our revenues and available cash.

The factors that affect the value of our real estate include, among other things: 

• 
• 
• 

international, national, regional and local economic conditions;
consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the United States or Canada;
our ability to secure adequate insurance;

18

 
the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults;

local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;
competition from other available space;

• 
• 
•  whether tenants and users such as customers of our tenants consider a property attractive;
• 
•  whether we are able to pass some or all of any increased operating costs through to tenants;
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

how well we manage our properties;
fluctuations in interest rates;
changes in real estate taxes and other expenses;
changes in market rental rates;
the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals;
changes in taxation or zoning laws;
government regulation;
our failure to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes;
availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all;
potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations; and 
general competitive factors.

The rents and interest we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes 
in any of these factors. If our revenues decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available to pay our 
indebtedness and distribute to our shareholders. In addition, some of our unreimbursed costs of owning real estate may 
not decline when the related rents decline.

There are risks associated with owning and leasing real estate.
Although our lease terms obligate the tenants to bear substantially all of the costs of operating the properties, investing 
in real estate involves a number of risks, including:

• 

• 

the risk that tenants will not perform under their leases, reducing our income from the leases or requiring 
us to assume the cost of performing obligations (such as taxes, insurance and maintenance) that are the 
tenant's responsibility under the lease;
the risk that changes in economic conditions or real estate markets may adversely affect the value of our 
properties;
the risk that local conditions could adversely affect the value of our properties;

• 
•  we may not always be able to lease properties at favorable rates or certain tenants may require significant 

capital expenditures by us to conform existing properties to their requirements;

•  we may not always be able to sell a property when we desire to do so at a favorable price; and
changes in tax, zoning or other laws could make properties less attractive or less profitable.
• 

If a tenant fails to perform on its lease covenants, that would not excuse us from meeting any debt obligation secured 
by the property and could require us to fund reserves in favor of our lenders, thereby reducing funds available for 
payment of dividends. We cannot be assured that tenants will elect to renew their leases when the terms expire.  If a 
tenant does not renew its lease or if a tenant defaults on its lease obligations, there is no assurance we could obtain a 
substitute tenant on acceptable terms.  If we cannot obtain another quality tenant, we may be required to modify the 
property for a different use, which may involve a significant capital expenditure and a delay in re-leasing the property.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.
Our leases require the tenants to carry comprehensive liability, casualty, workers' compensation, extended coverage 
and rental loss insurance on our properties. We believe the required coverage is of the type, and amount, customarily 
obtained by an owner of similar properties. We believe all of our properties are adequately insured. However, there are 
some types of losses, such as catastrophic acts of nature, acts of war or riots, for which we or our tenants cannot obtain 
insurance at an acceptable cost. If there is an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insurance limits, we could lose both 
the revenues generated by the affected property and the capital we have invested in the property. We would, however, 
remain obligated to repay any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Since September 11, 
2001, the cost of insurance protection against terrorist acts has risen dramatically. There can be no assurance our tenants 
will be able to obtain terrorism insurance coverage, or that any coverage they do obtain will adequately protect our 

19

properties against loss from terrorist attack.

Joint ventures may limit flexibility with jointly owned investments.
We may continue to acquire or develop properties in joint ventures with third parties when those transactions appear 
desirable. We would not own the entire interest in any property acquired by a joint venture. Major decisions regarding 
a joint venture property may require the consent of our partner.  If we have a dispute with a joint venture partner, we 
may feel it necessary or become obligated to acquire the partner's interest in the venture.  However, we cannot ensure 
that the price we would have to pay or the timing of the acquisition would be favorable to us.  If we own less than a 
50% interest in any joint venture, or if the venture is jointly controlled, the assets and financial results of the joint 
venture may not be reportable by us on a consolidated basis. To the extent we have commitments to, or on behalf of, 
or are dependent on, any such “off-balance sheet” arrangements, or if those arrangements or their properties or leases 
are subject to material contingencies, our liquidity, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected 
by those commitments or off-balance sheet arrangements.

Our multi-tenant properties expose us to additional risks. 
Our entertainment retail centers in Westminster, Colorado, New Rochelle, New York, Burbank, California, Suffolk, 
Virginia and Ontario, Canada, and similar properties we may seek to acquire or develop in the future, involve risks not 
typically encountered in the purchase and lease-back of real estate properties which are operated by a single tenant. 
The ownership or development of multi-tenant retail centers could expose us to the risk that a sufficient number of 
suitable tenants may not be found to enable the centers to operate profitably and provide a return to us.  This risk may 
be compounded by the failure of existing tenants to satisfy their obligations due to various factors, including the current 
economic crisis.  These risks, in turn, could cause a material adverse impact to our results of operations and business.     

Retail centers are also subject to tenant turnover and fluctuations in occupancy rates, which could affect our operating 
results.  Multi-tenant retail centers also expose us to the risk of potential “CAM slippage,” which may occur when the 
actual cost of taxes, insurance and maintenance at the property exceeds the CAM fees paid by tenants. 

Failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws could result in substantial costs.
Our  theatres  must  comply  with  the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  (“ADA”).  The  ADA  requires  that  public 
accommodations reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations be 
made to commercial facilities to conform to accessibility guidelines. Failure to comply with the ADA can result in 
injunctions, fines, damage awards to private parties and additional capital expenditures to remedy noncompliance. Our 
leases require the tenants to comply with the ADA.

Our properties are also subject to various other federal, state and local regulatory requirements. We do not know whether 
existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will involve significant unanticipated 
expenditures. Although these expenditures would be the responsibility of our tenants, if tenants fail to perform these 
obligations, we may be required to do so.

Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.
Under  federal,  state and  local  environmental laws,  we  may be  required  to  investigate and  clean up  any  release  of 
hazardous  or  toxic  substances  or  petroleum  products  at  our  properties,  regardless  of  our  knowledge  or  actual 
responsibility, simply because of our current or past ownership of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems 
arise, we may have to make substantial payments, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service 
our debt and make distributions to our shareholders. This is because: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

as owner we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in 
connection with the contamination;
the law may impose clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew 
of or caused the contamination;
even if more than one person is responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability 
under environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs; and
governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages 
and costs.

20

These costs could be substantial and in extreme cases could exceed the value of the contaminated property. The presence 
of hazardous substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may adversely affect 
our ability to borrow against, sell or lease an affected property. In addition, some environmental laws create liens on 
contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Most 
of our loan agreements require the Company or a subsidiary to indemnify the lender against environmental liabilities.  
Our leases require the tenants to operate the properties in compliance with environmental laws and to indemnify us 
against environmental liability arising from the operation of the properties. We believe all of our properties are in 
material compliance with environmental laws. However, we could be subject to strict liability under environmental 
laws because we own the properties. There is also a risk that tenants may not satisfy their environmental compliance 
and indemnification obligations under the leases. Any of these events could substantially increase our cost of operations, 
require us to fund environmental indemnities in favor of our lenders, limit the amount we could borrow under our 
unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan facility and reduce our ability to service our debt and make distributions 
to shareholders.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. 
We may desire to sell a property in the future because of changes in market conditions, poor tenant performance or 
default of any mortgage we hold, or to avail ourselves of other opportunities. We may also be required to sell a property 
in the future to meet debt obligations or avoid a default. Specialty real estate projects such as megaplex theatres cannot 
always be sold quickly, and we cannot assure you that we could always obtain a favorable price.  In addition, the Internal 
Revenue Code limits our ability to sell our properties.  We may be required to invest in the restoration or modification 
of a property before we can sell it.  The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property 
portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our debt and make distributions to our 
shareholders.

There are risks in owning assets outside the United States.
Our properties in Canada are subject to the risks normally associated with international operations.  The rentals under 
our Canadian leases and the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing are payable or collectible (as applicable) 
in Canadian dollars, which could expose us to losses resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates to the extent we have 
not hedged our position.  Canadian real estate and tax laws are complex and subject to change, and we cannot assure 
you we will always be in compliance with those laws or that compliance will not expose us to additional expense.  We 
may also be subject to fluctuations in Canadian real estate values or markets or the Canadian economy as a whole, 
which may adversely affect our Canadian investments.

Additionally, we have made initial investments in projects located in China and may enter other international markets, 
which may have similar risks as described above as well as unique risks associated with a specific country.  

There are risks in owning or financing properties for which the tenant's, mortgagor's or our operations may be 
impacted by weather conditions and climate change.
We have acquired and financed metropolitan ski areas as well as vineyards and wineries, and may continue to do so in 
the future.  The operators of these properties, our tenants or mortgagors, are dependent upon the operations of the 
properties to pay their rents and service their loans.  The ski area operator's ability to attract visitors is influenced by 
weather conditions and climate change in general, each of which may impact the amount of snowfall during the ski 
season.  Adverse weather conditions may discourage visitors from participating in outdoor activities.  In addition, 
unseasonably warm weather may result in inadequate natural snowfall, which increases the cost of snowmaking, and 
could render snowmaking wholly or partially ineffective in maintaining quality skiing conditions.  Excessive natural 
snowfall may materially increase the costs incurred for grooming trails and may also make it difficult for visitors to 
obtain access to the ski resorts.  Prolonged periods of adverse weather conditions, or the occurrence of such conditions 
during peak visitation periods, could have a material adverse effect on the operator's financial results and could impair 
the ability of the operator to make rental payments or service our loans.

The ability to grow quality wine grapes and a sufficient quantity of wine grapes is influenced by weather conditions 
and climate change.  Droughts, freezes and other weather conditions or phenomena, such as “El Nino,” may adversely 
affect the timing, quality or quantity of wine grape harvests, and this can have a material adverse effect on the operating 
results of our vineyard and winery operators, as well as the operations of those properties we operate.  In addition to 

21

reduced cash flow from the properties we operate, the ability of our tenants to make rental payments or service our 
loans could also be impaired. 

Vineyards and wineries are subject to a number of risks associated with the agricultural industry.
Winemaking and wine grape growing are subject to a variety of agricultural risks.  In addition to weather, various 
diseases, pests, fungi and viruses can affect the quality and quantity of wine grapes and negatively impact the profitability 
of our tenants.  Furthermore, wine grape growing requires adequate water supplies.  The water needs of our properties 
are  generally  supplied  through  wells  and  reservoirs  located  on  the  properties.   Although we  believe  that  there  are 
adequate water supplies to meet the needs of all of our properties, a substantial reduction in water supplies could result 
in material losses of wine crops and vines.  If our tenants or the properties which we operate suffer a downturn due to 
any of the factors described above, these tenants may be unable to make their lease or loan payments and cash flow 
from the properties which we operate may be reduced, both of which could adversely affect our results of operations 
and financial condition.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would 
cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and store sensitive data, including our proprietary business information 
and that of our tenants and clients and personally identifiable information of our employees, in our facility and on our 
network. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks 
by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise 
our network and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, 
disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, disrupt our operations, damage our 
reputation, and cause a loss of confidence, which could adversely affect our business. 

Risks That May Affect the Market Price of our Shares

We cannot assure you we will continue paying cash dividends at current rates.
Our dividend policy is determined by our Board of Trustees.  Our ability to continue paying dividends on our common 
shares, to pay dividends on our preferred shares at their stated rates or to increase our common share dividend rate will 
depend on a number of factors, including our liquidity, our financial condition and results of future operations, the 
performance of lease and mortgage terms by our tenants and customers, our ability to acquire, finance and lease additional 
properties at attractive rates, and provisions in our loan covenants.  If we do not maintain or increase our common share 
dividend rate, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and possibly our preferred 
shares.  Furthermore, if the Board of Trustees decides to pay dividends on our common shares partially or substantially 
all in common shares, that could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and possibly our 
preferred shares.   

Market interest rates may have an effect on the value of our shares.
One of the factors that investors may consider in deciding whether to buy or sell our common shares or preferred shares 
is our dividend rate as a percentage of our share price, relative to market interest rates.  If market interest rates increase, 
prospective investors may desire a higher dividend on our common shares or seek securities paying higher dividends 
or interest.

Market prices for our shares may be affected by perceptions about the financial health or share value of our tenants 
and mortgagors or the performance of REIT stocks generally.
To the extent any of our tenants or customers, or their competition, report losses or slower earnings growth, take charges 
against earnings or enter bankruptcy proceedings, the market price for our shares could be adversely affected. The 
market price for our shares could also be affected by any weakness in the performance of REIT stocks generally or 
weakness in any of the sectors in which our tenants and customers operate. 

Limits on changes in control may discourage takeover attempts which may be beneficial to our shareholders.
There are a number of provisions in our Declaration of Trust, Bylaws, Maryland law and agreements we have with 
others which could make it more difficult for a party to make a tender offer for our shares or complete a takeover of 
the Company which is not approved by our Board of Trustees. These include:

22

• 
• 

• 

• 
• 
• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

a staggered Board of Trustees that can be increased in number without shareholder approval;
a  limit  on  beneficial  ownership  of  our  shares,  which  acts  as  a  defense  against  a  hostile  takeover  or 
acquisition of a significant or controlling interest, in addition to preserving our REIT status;
the ability of the Board of Trustees to issue preferred or common shares, to reclassify preferred or common 
shares, and to increase the amount of our authorized preferred or common shares, without shareholder 
approval;
limits on the ability of shareholders to remove trustees without cause;
requirements for advance notice of shareholder proposals at shareholder meetings;
provisions of Maryland law restricting business combinations and control share acquisitions not approved 
by the Board of Trustees;
provisions  of  Maryland  law  protecting  corporations  (and  by  extension  REITs)  against  unsolicited 
takeovers by limiting the duties of the trustees in unsolicited takeover situations;
provisions in Maryland law providing that the trustees are not subject to any higher duty or greater scrutiny 
than that applied to any other director under Maryland law in transactions relating to the acquisition or 
potential acquisition of control;
provisions  of  Maryland  law  creating  a  statutory  presumption  that  an  act  of  the  trustees  satisfies  the 
applicable standards of conduct for trustees under Maryland law
provisions in loan or joint venture agreements putting the Company in default upon a change in control; 
and
provisions of employment agreements with our officers calling for share purchase loan forgiveness (under 
certain conditions), severance compensation and vesting of equity compensation upon a change in control.

Any or all of these provisions could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if the change was in 
our shareholders' interest or offered a greater return to our shareholders.

We may change our policies without obtaining the approval of our shareholders.
Our operating and financial policies, including our policies with respect to acquiring or financing real estate or other 
companies, growth, operations, indebtedness, capitalization and dividends, are exclusively determined by our Board 
of Trustees. Accordingly, our shareholders do not control these policies.

Dilution could affect the value of our shares. 
Our future growth will depend in part on our ability to raise additional capital. If we raise additional capital through 
the issuance of equity securities, the interests of holders of our common shares could be diluted. Likewise, our Board 
of Trustees is authorized to cause us to issue preferred shares in one or more series, the holders of which would be 
entitled to dividends and voting and other rights as our Board of Trustees determines, and which could be senior to or 
convertible into our common shares. Accordingly, an issuance by us of preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise 
adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares. As of December 31, 2011, our Series C preferred shares 
are convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3574 common shares 
per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $69.95 per common share 
(subject to adjustment in certain events).  Additionally, as of December 31, 2011, our Series E preferred shares are 
convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.4512 common shares per 
$25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $55.41 per common share 
(subject to adjustment in certain events). Depending upon the number of Series C and Series E preferred shares being 
converted at one time, a conversion of Series C and Series E preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely 
affect the interests of holders of our common shares. 

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have an impact on the value of our shares.
The functional currency for our Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. As a result, our future operating results 
could be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. and Canadian dollars, which in turn could affect 
our share price.  We have attempted to mitigate our exposure to Canadian currency exchange risk by having both our 
Canadian lease rentals and the debt service on our Canadian mortgage financing payable in the same currency.  We 
have also entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge in part our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.  
Foreign currency derivatives are subject to future risk of loss.  We do not engage in purchasing foreign exchange 

23

contracts for speculative purposes.

Additionally, we have made investments in China and may enter other international markets which pose similar currency 
fluctuation risks as described above.  

Tax reform could adversely affect the value of our shares.
There  have  been  a  number  of  proposals  in  Congress  for  major  revision  of  the  federal  income  tax  laws,  including 
proposals to adopt a flat tax or replace the income tax system with a national sales tax or value-added tax.  Any of these 
proposals, if enacted, could change the federal income tax laws applicable to REITS, subject us to federal tax or reduce 
or eliminate the current deduction for dividends paid to our shareholders, any of which could negatively affect the 
market for our shares.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

There are no unresolved comments from the staff of the SEC required to be disclosed herein as of the date of this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K.

Office Location

Our executive office is located in Kansas City, Missouri and is leased from a third party landlord. The office occupies 
approximately 31,831 square feet with annual rentals of approximately $390 thousand. The lease expires on September 30, 
2016 with two five year extension options available.

Tenants and Leases

Our existing leases on rental property (on a consolidated basis - excluding unconsolidated joint venture properties) provide 
for aggregate annual rentals of approximately $228 million (not including periodic rent escalations , percentage rent or 
straight-line rent). The megaplex theatre leases have an average remaining base term lease life of approximately 10 years 

30

 
and may be extended for predetermined extension terms at the option of the tenant. The theatre leases are typically triple-
net leases that require the tenant to pay substantially all expenses associated with the operation of the properties, including 
taxes, other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, service, maintenance and any ground lease payments.

The closing price for our common shares on the NYSE on February 23, 2012 was $42.72 per share.

We declared quarterly distributions to common shareholders aggregating $2.80 and $2.60 per common share in 2011 
and 2010, respectively.

While we intend to continue paying regular quarterly dividends, future dividend declarations will be at the discretion 
of the Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the 
annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, debt covenants and other factors the Board 
of Trustees deems relevant. The actual cash flow available to pay dividends may be affected by a number of factors, 
including the revenues received from rental properties and mortgage notes, our operating expenses, debt service on our 
borrowings,  the  ability  of  tenants  and  customers  to  meet  their  obligations  to  us  and  any  unanticipated  capital 
expenditures.  Our Series C preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 5.75%, our Series D preferred shares have 
a fixed dividend rate of 7.375% and our Series E preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 9.00%.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not sell any unregistered equity securities.

On February 23, 2012, there were approximately 615 holders of record of our outstanding common shares.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not purchase any unregistered equity securities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto 
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere 
in  this Annual Report  on  Form  10-K  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  including  anticipated  financial  performance, 
business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to 
customers  and  other  matters,  which  reflect  management’s  best  judgment  based  on  factors  currently  known.  See 
“Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements.” Actual results and experience could differ materially 
from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number 
of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Overview

Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing FFO and 
dividends per share. Our prevailing strategy is to focus on long-term investments in a limited number of categories in 
which  we  maintain  a  depth  of  knowledge  and  relationships,  and  which  we  believe  offer  sustained  performance 
throughout  all  economic  cycles.  As  of  December 31,  2011,  our  total  assets  exceeded  $2.7 billion,  and  included 
investments  in  112  megaplex  theatre  properties  (including  two  joint  venture  properties),  33  public  charter  school 
properties and various restaurant, retail, entertainment, destination recreational and specialty properties located in 34 
states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. As of December 31, 2011, we had invested approximately $207.2 
million in development land and property under development and approximately $325.1 million in mortgage financing 
for entertainment, recreational and specialty properties.

As of December 31, 2011, our real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of 8.8 million square feet 
and  was  99%  occupied,  and  our  remaining  real  estate  portfolio  consisted  of  4.4  million  square  feet  and  was  96% 
occupied. The combined real estate portfolio consisted of 13.2 million square feet and was 98% occupied. Our theatre 
properties are leased to thirteen different theatre operators and our public charter schools are leased to five different 
public charter school operators. At December 31, 2011, approximately 35% of our megaplex theatre properties were 
leased to AMC.  

Substantially all of our single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple-net leases, under which the 
tenants typically pay all operating expenses of a property, including, but not limited to, all real estate taxes, assessments 
and other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance.  A majority of our revenues are derived 
from rents received or accrued under long-term, triple-net leases. Tenants at our multi-tenant properties are typically 
required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro rata portion of these costs.

Our real estate mortgage portfolio consists of eight mortgage notes totaling $325.1 million at December 31, 2011. Two 
of  these  mortgage  notes,  totaling  $178.4  million  at  December 31,  2011,  are  secured  by  a  water-park  anchored 
entertainment village in Kansas City, Kansas as well as two other water-parks in Texas.  The remaining mortgage notes 
include five mortgage notes totaling $145.4 million at December 31, 2011 related to financing provided for ski areas 
and one $1.3 million mortgage note related to financing for the development of a public charter school property.

We incur general and administrative expenses including compensation expense for our executive officers and other 
employees, professional fees and various expenses incurred in the process of identifying, evaluating, acquiring and 
financing additional properties and mortgage notes. We are self-administered and managed by our Board of Trustees 
and executive officers. Our primary non-cash expense is the depreciation of our properties. We depreciate buildings, 
improvements on our properties and furniture, fixtures and equipment over a 3 to 40 year period for tax purposes and 
financial reporting purposes.

Our property acquisitions and financing commitments are financed by cash from operations, borrowings under our 
revolving credit facility and term loan, long-term mortgage debt, and the sale of debt and equity securities. It has been 
our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals 
paid by our tenants. We have primarily acquired or developed new properties that are pre-leased to a single tenant or 
multi-tenant properties that have a high occupancy rate. We do not typically develop or acquire properties that are not 

36

significantly pre-leased. We have also entered into certain joint ventures and we have provided mortgage note financing 
as described above. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable 
future, subject to our ability to do so in light of the current financial and economic environment.

Historically, our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing 
terms, and managing our portfolio as we have continued to grow. We believe our management’s knowledge and industry 
relationships have facilitated opportunities for us to acquire, finance and lease properties.

During 2011, our investment spending of $137.9 million was lower than it has been historically.   With the continued 
acceptance of megaplex theatres as a solid performing asset class and the continued low interest rate environment, 
portfolios of existing megaplex theatres in some cases sold at higher multiples of cash flow in 2011 than they may have 
otherwise sold in prior years.  While this bodes well for the inherent value of our theatre portfolio, we elected not to 
pay these higher multiples for portfolios and, as a result, we were not the successful bidder in several cases.  Furthermore, 
as in 2010, we did not have as many theatre build-to-suit opportunities as we have had historically.  In 2011, this was 
likely in part due to the relative poor box office performance in the early part of the year versus the prior year.  As box 
office performance improved over the latter part of 2011 and into early 2012, we are now seeing many more such build-
to-suit opportunities available to us at attractive terms due to our long-term relationships with our tenants.  

In 2011, we continued to establish our position as a leading owner of public charter school real estate and expect this 
momentum to continue into 2012.  We successfully diversified our tenant base by adding four new public charter school 
operators and expect to continue to expand our tenant base in this area in 2012.

As further discussed below under “Recent Developments,” the recent economic downturn significantly impacted both 
the planned casino and resort development in Sullivan County, New York as well as the performance of our vineyard 
and winery tenants.  While the Sullivan County project is subject to an ongoing lawsuit for which we believe we have 
meritorious defenses, progress is being made to activate the income producing capacity of this investment.  Furthermore, 
progress is also being made in selling our vineyard and winery properties as we sold three such investments in 2011. 

During the past two years, we have taken significant steps to implement our strategy of migrating to an unsecured debt 
structure and maintaining significant liquidity.  In 2010, we issued $250.0 million of unsecured notes and entered into 
a new $320.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. During 2011 and early 2012, we amended our unsecured 
revolving credit facility to an increased capacity of $400 million at a significantly lower interest rate spread and entered 
into a new $240 million term loan.  Having enhanced our liquidity position, strengthened our balance sheet and obtained 
access to the unsecured debt markets, we believe we are better positioned to aggressively pursue potential investments, 
acquisitions and financing transaction opportunities that may become available to us from time to time.

Throughout the remainder of 2012, we expect to maintain our debt to total gross assets ratio between 35% and 45%. 
Depending on our capital needs, we will seek both debt and equity capital and will consider issuing additional shares 
under the direct share purchase component of our DSP Plan. While equity issuances and maintaining lower leverage 
mitigate the growth in per share results, we believe lower leverage and an emphasis on liquidity are prudent during the 
current economic environment.

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A 
of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 
(“GAAP”)  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  in  certain  circumstances  that  affect  amounts 
reported  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  notes.  In  preparing  these  financial 
statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities. The 
most significant assumptions and estimates relate to consolidation, revenue recognition, depreciable lives of the real 
estate,  the  valuation  of  real  estate,  accounting  for  real  estate  acquisitions,  estimating  reserves  for  uncollectible 
receivables and the accounting for mortgage and other notes receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the 

37

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

Consolidation
We consolidate certain entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as 
defined  in  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  Topic  on 
Consolidation.  The Topic on Consolidation requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling 
financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the 
activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses 
of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could 
potentially be significant to the VIE.  This topic requires an ongoing reassessment of and eliminates the quantitative 
approach previously required for determining whether a company is the primary beneficiary and requires enhanced 
disclosures on variable interest entities.  The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which we are not the 
primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or do not have effective control, but can 
exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. 
Base rent escalation in other leases is dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) and accordingly, 
management does not include any future base rent escalation amounts on these leases in current revenue. Most of our 
leases provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. These percentage rents are 
recognized once the required sales level is achieved. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are 
canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet 
recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease inception represent management’s initial estimates 
of fair value of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used 
in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real 
estate values. The estimated unguaranteed residual value is reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently if necessary. 
We evaluate the collectibility of our direct financing lease receivable to determine whether it is impaired. A direct 
financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable 
that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing 
lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment 
to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable’s effective 
interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.

Real Estate Useful Lives
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for the purpose of determining 
the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a 
direct impact on our net income. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the useful 
lives of the assets, as follows: 

Buildings
Tenant improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment

40 years
Base term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter
3 to 25 years

Impairment of Real Estate Values
We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our rental properties. 
These estimates of impairment may have a direct impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We assess the carrying value of our rental properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable. Certain factors that may occur and indicate that impairments 
may  exist  include,  but  are  not  limited  to:  underperformance  relative  to  projected  future  operating  results,  tenant 
difficulties and significant adverse industry or market economic trends. If an indicator of possible impairment exists, 

38

  
  
  
a property is evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the property to the estimated undiscounted 
future cash flows expected to be generated by the property. If the carrying amount of a property exceeds its estimated 
future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying 
amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. Management estimates fair value of our rental properties 
utilizing independent appraisals and/or based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined by 
management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company.

Real Estate Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, we record the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, 
building, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities 
(consisting  of  above  and  below  market  leases,  in-place  leases,  tenant  relationships  and  assumed  financing  that  is 
determined to be above or below market terms) as well as any noncontrolling interest in accordance with FASB ASC 
Topic 805 on Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). In addition, in accordance with Topic 805, acquisition-related 
costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management  makes  quarterly  estimates  of  the  collectibility  of  its  accounts  receivable  related  to  base  rents,  tenant 
escalations (straight-line rents), reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes trends 
in  accounts  receivable,  historical  bad  debts,  customer  credit  worthiness,  current  economic  trends  and  changes  in 
customer  payment  terms  when  evaluating  the  adequacy  of  its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts.  In  addition,  when 
customers are in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition administrative and 
damage claims. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage  notes  and  other  notes  receivable,  including  related  accrued  interest  receivable,  consist  of  loans  that  we 
originated and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other 
notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and we defer certain loan origination 
and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortize them over the term of the related loan. Interest 
income on performing loans is accrued as earned. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal for each 
loan to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and 
events, we determine it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual 
terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment 
to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair 
value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest 
income is recognized on a cash basis, unless we determine based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should 
be on the cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. 
Interest  income  recognition  is  recommenced  if  and  when  the  impaired  loan  becomes  contractually  current  and 
performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Recent Developments

Debt Financing
On February 7, 2011, we paid in full the eight term loans outstanding under our vineyard and winery facility totaling 
$86.2 million.  In connection with the payment in full of the term loans, the related interest rate swaps were terminated 
at a cost of $4.6 million. Additionally, deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.8 million were 
written off as part of this loan prepayment.

On March 3, 2011, we assumed a mortgage note payable of $3.8 million in conjunction with the acquisition of a theatre 
property.  The note matures on July 1, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately 
$28 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of approximately $3.2 million.  The note was recorded at fair 
value upon acquisition which was estimated to be $4.1 million. The fair value of the note was determined by discounting 
the future cash flows of the note using an estimated current market rate of 5.29%.  

39

During March 2011, we exercised a portion of the accordion feature on our unsecured revolving credit facility.  As a 
result of this exercise, our unsecured revolving credit facility capacity expanded from $320 million to $382.5 million.  
On October 13, 2011, we amended and restated our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “facility”). The size of the 
facility increased from $382.5 million to $400 million.  The facility includes a $100 million subline for letters of credit 
and contains an accordion feature in which the facility can be increased to up to $500 million subject to certain conditions, 
including lender consent. The facility continues to be supported by a borrowing base of assets, and is secured by a 
pledge of the equity of each entity that holds a borrowing base asset. The facility is priced based on a grid related to 
our senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at closing of LIBOR plus 1.60%.  The facility has a maturity date of 
October 13, 2015 with a one year extension available at our option.

On June 22, 2011, we completed our offer to exchange our $250 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior 
notes due 2020, which were issued in a private placement (the "original notes"), for an equal principal amount of its 
7.750% senior notes due 2020, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Pursuant to 
the exchange offer, $250 million aggregate principal amount, or 100%, of the original notes were validly tendered and 
accepted for exchange. The exchange offer was made to satisfy our obligations under a registration rights agreement 
entered into on June 30, 2010 in connection with the issuance of the original notes, and does not represent a new 
financing transaction.

On December 7, 2011, we exercised our option to purchase the underlying property in Sullivan County, New York 
related to our capital lease obligation for $8.9 million.  A gain of $390 thousand was recognized related to the settlement 
of this capital lease obligation and is included in costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net in the accompanying 
consolidated statements of income in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As further discussed below in "Subsequent Events" on January 5, 2012,  we entered into a new $240 million five year 
term loan facility. 

Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares
On August 31, 2011, we completed the redemption of all 3.2 million outstanding shares of our 7.75% Series B preferred 
shares. The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.32 per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per 
share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of $0.484375 prorated through the redemption date. In 
conjunction with the redemption, we recognized a charge representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 
2005 and other redemption related expenses. The Series B preferred share redemption costs, which reduced net income 
available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2011, were $2.8 million.

Investments
On January 31, 2011, we funded $2.1 million in development costs for expansion of one of our existing public charter 
school properties.  This amount is included in investment in direct financing lease, net, in the accompanying consolidated 
balance sheet which is further discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K.

On March 3, 2011, we acquired four theatre properties for a total investment of $36.8 million pursuant to a sale-leaseback 
transaction. The theatre properties are located in New Hampshire and Maine and contain an aggregate of 56 screens.  
The theatre properties are leased to Cinemagic pursuant to lease agreements that are structured as a triple net lease with 
the tenant responsible for all taxes, costs and expenses arising from the use or operation of the properties.  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 July 29, 2011, we acquired the improvements and ground lease interest of the Pinstripes entertainment facility in 
Northbrook, Illinois for a purchase price of $7.0 million.  The 34,000 square foot facility, which has been operating for 
more than a year, features bowling, bocce, upscale food and beverage and other entertainment offerings.  The facility 
is leased to Pinstripes Northbrook on a 15-year triple-net basis, with additional options to renew, and is guaranteed by 
Pinstripes, Inc.

40

On December 15, 2011, we entered into a secured first mortgage loan agreement for $1.5 million with Starshine Charter 
Holdings, LLC .  The loan is secured by approximately three acres of land and improvements which is expected to be 
developed into a public charter school.  This note bears interest at 9.00%, requires monthly interest payments and 
matures on May 31, 2012.  The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at December 31, 2011 was $1.3 million, 
including related accrued interest receivable of $6 thousand.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired development land in Arizona and Colorado for a total purchase 
price of $2.1 million.  As a part of these transactions, we have agreed to financing an additional $14.8 million for 
construction of two public charter schools that will be leased to HighMark Development ("HighMark") under long-
term triple-net leases commencing upon completion of the development.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we completed development of six public charter school properties.  One 
property  is  located  in  Louisiana  and  is  leased  under  a  long-term  triple-net  lease  to  Charter  Schools  Development 
Corporation.  The total development cost (including land and building) was approximately $6.7 million.  Three properties 
are located in Arizona and are leased under long-term-triple-net leases to Phoenix Charter Properties, LLC, American 
Leadership Academy and HighMark, respectively, for a total development cost (including land and building) of $20.9 
million.  Finally, two properties are located in Colorado and are leased under long-term triple-net leases to HighMark 
for a total development cost (including land and building) of $12.6 million.  At September 30, 2011, the three properties 
leased  to  HighMark  totaling  approximately  $21.0  million  upon  completion  were  included  in  investment  in  direct 
financing lease, net, in the consolidated balance sheet.  Due to a subsequent lease amendment, at December 31, 2011, 
this investment has been reclassed to rental properties, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we advanced $9.4 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  at December 31, 2011 was 
$178.4 million.  

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we advanced $9.0 million under our secured mortgage loan agreement with 
Peak Resorts to provide for the purchase of land at two ski facilities that were under a third-party ground lease.  The 
carrying value of this mortgage note at December 31, 2011 was $41.2 million.    

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

As further described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, this planned 
casino and resort development is the subject of ongoing litigation for which we believe we have meritorious defenses.   

41

 
Property Sale
On March 29, 2011, we closed on the sale of our Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center and related signage 
business in downtown Toronto.  The gross sale proceeds were approximately $226 million Canadian (“CAD”) and the 
net sales proceeds, after selling costs, were $222.7 million CAD.  The net proceeds from this sale, after the escrows, 
were converted to U.S. dollars primarily through a foreign currency forward contract that was entered into on February 
3, 2011 and designated as a net investment hedge.  This forward contract allowed us to sell $200 million CAD for 
$201.5 million U.S.  We used the proceeds to pay down our revolving line of credit and recorded a net gain of $18.3 
million U.S. on the sale of real estate, including the impact of foreign currency and the settlement of the forward contract.  
During the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded an additional gain on sale or acquisition of real estate of $1.2 million 
U.S. related to the settlement of certain reserves.   

Vineyards and Wineries
The wine industry has been adversely affected by recent economic conditions which continue to affect several of our 
tenants' ability to perform under their leases.  As a result, we have taken back certain properties due to non-performance 
under the related leases, and have granted concessions to other tenants in the form of rent abatement or rent deferral. 
During 2011, we completed the sale of three vineyard and winery investments as discussed below.  

On April 28, 2011, in conjunction with the sale by Ascentia of the Gary Farrell brand and related inventory assets, we 
elected to sell our winery assets to the same buyer.  As a result, we terminated our lease on these assets with Ascentia 
and were paid $2.0 million in outstanding receivables and a $1.0 million lease termination fee that is included in income 
from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  In addition, we received $6.5 million from the buyer for our winery assets, 
which was equal to the net book value of such assets.  The results of operations of this property have been classified 
within discontinued operations.    

Additionally, we  entered  into  an  agreement  in  the  second  quarter  of  2011 to  sell  one  of  our  vineyard  and  winery 
properties.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million, which 
is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value.  While this sale agreement 
was not ultimately executed, we still expect this property will be sold within a year and the results of operations have 
been classified within discontinued operations.  

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we engaged outside brokers to list all of our vineyard and winery properties 
for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all of these assets within the next two years. Management estimated 
the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, current 
market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties utilizing a 
leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable. It was determined that the carrying value of seven of the Company's 
vineyard and winery properties, exceeded the estimated fair values by $34.3 million, and an impairment charge was 
recorded in the second quarter for this amount.

On August 16, 2011, we completed the sale of the tasting room portion of our Buena Vista winery facility in Sonoma 
California for $1.7 million and no gain or loss on sale was recognized.  

On September 20, 2011, we completed the sale of a 60 acre vineyard and winery facility in Paso Robles, California, 
for $13.3 million and a gain on sale of $16 thousand was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 
2011.  The results of operations of the property have been classified within discontinued operations.   

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

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2011 compared to year ended December 31, 2010

Rental revenue was $226.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $219.9 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2010. The $6.1 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions completed in 2011 and 2010 
and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by a decline in rental revenue from our vineyard and 
winery tenants.  Percentage rents of $1.6 million and $1.7 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 
2011 and 2010, respectively. Straight-line rents of $0.7 million and $1.0 million were recognized during the year ended 
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Tenant reimbursements totaled $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $17.1 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2010. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our entertainment retail 
centers. The $0.9 million increase is primarily due as an increase in tenant reimbursements at our retail centers in 
Ontario, Canada and in New Rochelle, New York.

Other income was $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.5 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2010.  The $1.3 million increase is primarily due to income from the sale of grape inventory at certain 
of our vineyard properties which are operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.     

Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $55.9 million compared to $52.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The $3.6 million increase is primarily due to our additional investments 
in public charter school properties classified as a direct financing lease, as well as increased real estate lending activities 
related to our mortgage loan agreements with SVVI and Peak Resorts.  We also recognized participating interest income 
of $0.5 million from SVVI for the year ended December 31, 2011.  No participating interest income was recognized 
for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Our property operating expense totaled $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $24.7 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2010.  These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers 
and other specialty properties.  The $1.2 million decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in bad debt expense related 
to our vineyard and winery tenants.  This decrease was partially offset by increases in property operating expenses at 
our retail centers in Ontario, Canada and New Rochelle, New York, and carrying costs associated with land held for 
development and the Dallas Grand theatre property prior to commencement of new leases at this location.

Other expense totaled $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2010.   The $2.9 million increase is due to $0.6 million more loss recognized upon settlement of foreign 
currency forward and swap contracts, $0.3 million in golf course expenses related to two golf courses on the Concord 
resort property, which we took ownership of on June 18, 2010 in connection with the Cappelli settlement as well as 
$2.0 million in cost of goods sold from grape sales and other expenses related to certain of our vineyard and winery 
properties which are being operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary.

Our general and administrative expense totaled $20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $18.2 
million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $2.0 million is primarily due to an increase in payroll 
related expenses, including share grant amortization, as well as professional fees.

Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net were $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 
$11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, these costs related to the 
termination of our eight term loans outstanding under the vineyard and winery facility.  In connection with the payment 
in full of the term loans, the related interest rate swaps were terminated at a cost of $4.6 million and deferred financing 
costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $1.8 million were written off.  These costs were partially offset by a gain of 
$0.4 million on the settlement of a capital lease obligation related to the planned casino and resort development in 
Sullivan County, New York.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, these costs related to the termination of our 
previous revolving credit facility and a term loan (including related interest rate swap agreements). 

43

Our net interest expense decreased by $0.6 million to $71.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $72.3 
million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  This decrease resulted primarily from decreased average borrowings 
used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable.

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

Provision for loan losses for the year ended December 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  as  further 
discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  There was no provision 
for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2011. 

Impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $27.1 million and related to certain of our vineyard 
and winery properties.  For further detail, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on

recorded as a result of the settlement with Mr. Cappelli and affiliates on June 18, 2010, as further discussed in Note 8 
to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $45.4 
million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The $2.5 million increase resulted primarily from asset acquisitions 
completed in 2011 and 2010.

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

Loss from discontinued operations including impairment charges totaled $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 
2011 and included the operations of the Toronto Dundas Square property which was sold on March 29, 2011 as well 
as the operations of the Gary Farrell winery sold on April 28, 2011 (including a $1.0 million lease termination fee), the 
Pope Valley vineyard and winery which was held for sale as of December 31, 2011 (including a $1.8 million impairment 
charge) and the EOS vineyard and winery sold on September 20, 2011 (including a $7.1 million impairment charge).

2010 and related to the prior mentioned properties, costs associated with loan refinancing as well as a parcel of land 
in Arroyo Grande, California, an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York and a ten acre vineyard and 
winery facility in Napa Valley, California, all of which were disposed of in 2010.  See Note 22 to the consolidated 
financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.    

Gain on sale or acquisition of real estate from discontinued operations of $19.5 million for the year ended December 
31, 2011 was due to the sale of Toronto Dundas Square as well as a $0.02 million gain on sale of real estate related to 
the sale of the EOS vineyard and winery on September  20, 2011.  Gain on sale or  acquisition of real estate from 
discontinued operations of $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was due to the gain on acquisition of 
Toronto Dundas Square of  $9.0 million and a gain on sale of $0.2 million from a parcel of land including one building 
in Arroyo Grande, California, which was partially offset by a loss of approximately $0.9 million related to the sale of 
a ten acre vineyard and winery facility in Napa Valley, California 

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $0.04 million and related 
to VinREIT operations.  Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.8 million for the year ended December 
31, 2010 and primarily 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.  

44

Preferred dividend requirements for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $28.1 million compared to $30.2 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The $2.1 million decrease is due to the redemption of 3.2 million Series B 
preferred shares on August 31, 2011.  

The Series B preferred share redemption costs of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 was due to the 
redemption of all of the Series B preferred shares on August 31, 2011 and consists of the original issuance costs that 
were paid in 2005 and other redemption related expenses. There was no such expense incurred during the year ended 
December 31, 2010.

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to year ended December 31, 2009

Rental revenue was $219.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $193.0 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2009. The $26.9 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions completed in 2009 and 2010 
and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by a decline in rental revenue from our vineyard and 
winery tenants. Percentage rents of $1.7 million and $1.4 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 
2010 and 2009, respectively. Straight-line rents of $1.0 million and $2.1 million were recognized during the year ended 
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Tenant reimbursements totaled $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $15.4 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2009. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our entertainment retail 
centers. The $1.7 million increase is primarily due to an increase in tenant reimbursements at our retail centers in 
Ontario, Canada as well as a the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 
2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Other income was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2.8 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2009. This decrease of $2.3 million is primarily due to a decrease in revenues from a family bowling 
center in Westminster, Colorado previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The bowling 
center was converted to a third party lease on February 1, 2010. Additionally, other income decreased due to a $0.9 
million gain recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts for the year ended December 31, 2009. 
A loss of $0.2 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2010 and is included in other expense. Partially 
offsetting these decreases, there was an increase of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to golf 
course revenue recognized related to two golf courses on the Sullivan County property, which we took ownership of 
on June 18, 2010 in connection with the settlement with Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates.

Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $52.3 million compared to $45.0 
million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The $7.3 million increase is primarily due to our January 2010 acquisition 
of five public charter school properties and expansions during the year ended December 31, 2010.  Additionally, there 
was increased real estate lending activity primarily related to our mortgage loan agreement with SVVI.

Our property operating expense totaled $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $21.9 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2009. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. 
The increase of $2.8 million resulted from increases in bad debt expense associated with our vineyard and winery 
tenants and property operating expenses at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada as well as a the impact of a stronger 
Canadian dollar exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Other expense totaled $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $2.2 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2009. The $1.1 million decrease is primarily due to less expense recognized related to a family bowling 
center  in  Westminster,  Colorado  previously  operated  through  a  wholly-owned  taxable  REIT  subsidiary  as  further 
described above.

Our general and administrative expense totaled $18.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $15.1 
million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase of $3.1 million is primarily due to an increase in payroll 
and trustee related expenses, travel expenses, insurance expense, professional fees and franchise taxes.

Our net interest expense increased by $6.8 million to $72.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $65.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase resulted from the increase in the average long-term debt 
outstanding and an increased weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our 
mortgage notes receivable.

Transaction costs totaled $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $3.3 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2009. The decrease of $2.8 million is due to a decrease is in costs associated with terminated

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $14.6 million at December 31, 2011.  In addition, we had restricted cash of $19.3 
million at December 31, 2011.  Of the restricted cash at December 31, 2011, $7.7 million relates to cash held for our 
borrowers’ debt service reserves for mortgage notes receivable, $2.1 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, Credit Facilities and Term Loan

As of December 31, 2011, we had total debt outstanding of $1.2 billion of which $670.7 million 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 that 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 December 31, 2011, we had $223.0 million in debt outstanding under our $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit 
facility, with interest at a floating rate. The facility has a term expiring October 13,  2015 with a one year extension 
available at our option. 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 December 31, 2011, our total availability under the revolving 
credit facility was $177.0 million.

Additionally, on January 5, 2012, we entered into a new $240 million five year term loan facility. The loan matures on 
January 5, 2017.  The facility is priced based on a grid related to our senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at 
closing of LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  We also entered into interest rate swaps that fix the all-in rate on this loan at 
2.66% for four years. The new facility also contains an “accordion” feature allowing it to be increased by up to an 
additional $110 million upon satisfaction of certain conditions. 

Our  principal  investing  activities  are  acquiring,  developing  and  financing  entertainment  and  entertainment-related 
properties, public charter schools, metropolitan ski areas and other destination recreational and specialty properties.  
These investing activities have generally been financed with mortgage debt and senior unsecured notes, as well as the 
proceeds from equity offerings.  Our revolving credit facility is also used to finance the acquisition or development of 
properties, and to provide mortgage financing.  We have and expect to continue to issue debt securities in public or 
private offerings.  Continued growth of our rental property and mortgage financing portfolios will depend in part on 
our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings.  

Certain of our long-term debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating 
performance  as  well  as  certain  cross-default  provisions.  We  were  in  compliance  with  all  financial  covenants  at 
December 31, 2011.

Liquidity Requirements

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service 
requirements  and  distributions  to  shareholders.  We  meet  these  requirements  primarily  through  cash  provided  by 
operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $195.8 million, $180.4 million and $148.8 million 
for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities was 
$89.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and net cash used in investing activities was $320.3 million and 
$192.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Net cash used by financing activities 
was $282.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and net cash provided by financing activities was $128.0 
million and $15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We anticipate that our cash 
on hand, cash from operations, and funds available under our revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity 
to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders 
and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.

Long-term liquidity requirements at December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of maturities of long-term debt. Contractual 
obligations as of December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

Commitments

As of December 31, 2011, we had one theatre development project and one retail development project under construction 
for which we have agreed to finance the development costs. At December 31, 2011, we had commitments to fund 
approximately $5.7 million of additional improvements which are expected to be funded in 2012. Development costs 
are advanced by us in periodic draws. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the 
terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the 
properties to the operator at pre-determined rates.

We have agreed to finance future development costs for three of our public charter school properties.  At December 
31, 2011, we have commitments to fund approximately $10.8 million of additional improvements for these properties 
which is expected to be funded in 2012.  Development costs are advanced by us in periodic draws.  If we determine 
that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue 
funding construction draws.  We have agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon 
completion of construction.

We have provided a guarantee of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds related to four theatres 
in Louisiana for which we earn a fee at an annual rate of 1.75% over the 30 year term of the bond. We have recorded 
$3.2 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $3.2 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 related to this guarantee. No amounts have been accrued as a loss 
contingency related to this guarantee because payment by us is not probable.

We have certain commitments related to our mortgage note investments that we may be required to fund in the future. 
We are generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events 
outside of our direct control. As of December 31, 2011, we had seven mortgage notes receivable with commitments 
totaling approximately $28.5 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent 
with the existing investments.

Liquidity Analysis

In analyzing our liquidity, we generally expect that our cash provided by operating activities will meet our normal 
recurring operating expenses, recurring debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders.

During 2012 and 2013, we have approximately $65.3 million and $98.5 million, respectively, of consolidated debt 
maturities. Our cash commitments, as described above, include additional commitments under various mortgage notes 
receivable  totaling  approximately  $28.5  million.  Of  the  $28.5  million  of  mortgage  note  receivable  commitments, 
approximately $4.9 million is expected to be funded in 2012.

Our sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2011 to pay the above 2012 commitments include the remaining amount 
available under our unsecured revolving credit facility of approximately $177.0 million and unrestricted cash on hand 
of $14.6 million. In addition, the proceeds from our term loan issuance in January 2012 were used primarily to pay 
down our unsecured revolving credit facility to zero.  Accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we expect that our 
sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of 2012.

We also believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt obligations for 2013 and 
thereafter as the debt comes due, and that we will be able to fund our remaining commitments as necessary. However, 
there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that terms will be acceptable or 
advantageous to us.

Our primary use of cash after paying operating expenses, debt service, distributions to shareholders and funding existing 
commitments is in growing our investment portfolio through the acquisition, development and financing of additional 
properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our revolving credit facility, as well as long-
term debt and equity financing alternatives. The availability and terms of any such financing will depend upon market 
and other conditions. If we borrow the maximum amount available under our revolving credit facility, there can be no 
assurance that we will be able to obtain additional investment financing (See “Risk Factors”).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2011, we had a 37.5% and 26.5% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, 
Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We 
do not anticipate any material impact on our liquidity as a result of commitments involving those joint ventures. On 
May 1, 2010, we contributed an additional $14.9 million to Atlantic-EPR I to pay off the Partnership’s long-term debt 
at its maturity of May 1, 2010 and this contribution earned a priority return of 15% through December 31, 2011.  We 
recognized income of $2.4 million, $1.9 million and $565 thousand during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from 
our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture. We recognized income of $383, $350 and $330 (in thousands) from 
our  investment  in  the Atlantic-EPR  II  joint  venture  during  the  years  ended  December 31,  2011,  2010  and  2009, 
respectively. The Atlantic-EPR II joint venture has a mortgage note payable secured by a megaplex theatre. The note 
held by Atlantic EPR-II totals $12.2 million at December 31, 2011 and matures in September 2013. Condensed financial 
information for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II joint ventures is included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial 
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The partnership agreements for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II allow our partner, Atlantic of Hamburg, Germany 
(“Atlantic”), to exchange up to a maximum of 10% of its ownership interest per year in each of the joint ventures for 
common shares of the Company or, at our discretion, the cash value of those shares as defined in each of the partnership 
agreements. During 2009, we paid Atlantic cash of $109 and $9 (in thousands), respectively, in exchange for additional 
ownership of 0.7% and 0.2% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively.  During 2010, we paid Atlantic cash 

49

of $679 and $186 (in thousands) in exchange for additional ownership of 3.1% and 1.6% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-
EPR II, respectively. During 2011, we paid Atlantic cash of $2.5 million and $258 thousand in exchange for additional 
ownership of 11.3% and 2.0% for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, respectively.  These exchanges did not impact 
total partners’ equity in either Atlantic-EPR I or Atlantic-EPR II.

In  addition,  as  of  December 31,  2011  and  2010,  we  had  invested  $4.2  million  and  $2.9  million,  respectively,  in 
unconsolidated joint ventures for three theatre projects in 2011 and two theatre projects in 2010, located in China. We  
recognized income of $42 thousand and a loss of $157 thousand from our investment in these joint ventures for the 
years  ended  December 31,  2011  and  2010,  respectively.  No  income  or  loss  was  recognized  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2009.

Capital Structure and Coverage Ratios

We believe that our shareholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a 
conservative debt level on our balance sheet and solid interest, fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios. We expect 
to maintain our debt to gross assets ratio (i.e. total long-term debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation) between 
35% and 45%. However, the timing and size of our equity and debt offerings may cause us to temporarily operate over 
this threshold. At December 31, 2011, this ratio was 38%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of our total market 
capitalization at December 31, 2011 was 33%; however, we do not manage to a ratio based on total market capitalization 
due to the inherent variability that is driven by changes in the market price of our common shares. We calculate our 
total market capitalization of $3.5 billion by aggregating the following at December 31, 2011:

•  Common shares outstanding of 46,726,714 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares 

on the NYSE of $43.71 per share, or $2.0 billion;

•  Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C convertible preferred shares of $135.0 million;

•  Aggregate liquidation value of our Series D preferred shares of $115.0 million;

•  Aggregate liquidation value of our Series E convertible preferred shares of $86.3 million; and

•  Total long-term debt of $1.2 billion.

Our interest coverage ratio for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was 3.7 times, 3.4 times and 3.1 
times, respectively. Interest coverage is calculated as the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) 
divided by interest expense, gross (as calculated in the following table). We consider the interest coverage ratio to be 
an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to meet its interest expense obligations and management 
believes it is useful to investors in this regard. Our calculation of the interest coverage ratio may be different from the 
calculation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be 
considered as an alternative to any U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) liquidity measures. The 
following table shows the calculation of our interest coverage ratios. Amounts below include the impact of discontinued 
operations, which are separately classified in the consolidated statements of income included in this Annual Report on

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

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was 2.6 times, 2.4 times and 
2.2 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 and management believes it is useful to investors in this regard. 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

The  National Association of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts  (“NAREIT”)  developed  FFO  as  a  relative  non-GAAP 
financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically 
has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP and management provides FFO herein because it believes 
this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of 
real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common 
shareholders and earnings per share.  Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we 
calculate FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains 
and losses from sales or acquisitions of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable real 
estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, 
joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are 
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.  We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this 
definition. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by 
GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative 
to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or 
liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons 
with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The following table summarizes our FFO, including per share amounts, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010

declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 
2011, 2010 and 2009 because the effect is anti-dilutive. 

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)

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

that not all REITs calculate AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-1 
(“ASU 2011-1”).  ASU 2011-1 temporarily deferred the disclosures regarding troubled debt restructurings which were 
included in the disclosure requirements about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit 
losses which was issued in July 2010.  In April 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance and clarifications to help 
creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, and whether a debtor is experiencing financial 
difficulties for  purposes  of  determining  whether  a  restructuring  constitutes  a  troubled  debt  restructuring. The new 
guidance and the previously deferred disclosures were effective July 1, 2011 applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011. 
Prospective application is required for any new impairment identified as a result of this guidance. The adoption of these 
new disclosure requirements did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 
requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of 
other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but 
consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income 
as part of the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 is effective for us in our first quarter of 2012 and is required 
to be applied retrospectively. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material effect on our 
consolidated financial statements. 

Inflation

Investments by EPR are financed with a combination of equity and debt. During inflationary periods, which are generally 
accompanied by rising interest rates, our ability to grow may be adversely affected because the yield on new investments 
may increase at a slower rate than new borrowing costs.

Substantially all of our megaplex theatre leases provide for base and participating rent features. To the extent inflation 
causes tenant revenues at our properties to increase over baseline amounts, we would participate in those revenue 
increases through our right to receive annual percentage rent.

55

 
 
 
Our leases and mortgage notes receivable also generally provide for escalation in base rents or interest in the event of 
increases in the Consumer Price Index, with generally a limit of  2% per annum, or fixed periodic increases. Alternatively, 
during deflationary periods, our leases and mortgage notes receivable with escalations in base rents or interest dependent 
on increases in the Consumer Price Index may be adversely affected.

Our leases are generally triple-net leases requiring the tenants to pay substantially all expenses associated with the 
operation of the properties, thereby minimizing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting 
from inflation. A portion of our megaplex theatre, retail and restaurant leases are non-triple-net leases. These leases 
represent approximately 13% of our total real estate square footage. To the extent any of those leases contain fixed 
expense reimbursement provisions or limitations, we may be subject to increases in costs resulting from inflation that 
are not fully passed through to tenants.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency 
exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments 
with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible.  We also have a $400.0 million unsecured revolving 
credit facility with $223.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and a $10.7 million bond, both of which bear 
interest at a floating rate.   In addition, on January 5, 2012, we entered into a  $240 million five year term loan facility 
which bears interest at a floating rate.  As further described in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements in this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K, this LIBOR based debt was converted with interest rate swaps to  a fixed rate of 2.66% 
for four years. 

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

The fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each 
instrument using current market rates including current market spreads.

The following table presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates, and other terms required by year 
of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes as of December 31 
(including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements described below):

We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the US dollar, on our five Canadian properties. 
We financed the acquisition of four of our Canadian entertainment retail centers with a fixed rate mortgage loan from 
a Canadian lender in the original aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S. $97 million. The loan was made 
and is payable by us in CAD, and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD.

As discussed above, we have partially mitigated the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on four of our Canadian 
properties by matching Canadian dollar debt financing with Canadian dollar rents. To further mitigate our foreign 
currency risk in future periods on these Canadian properties, during the second quarter of 2007, we entered into a cross 
currency swap with a notional value of $76.0 million CAD and $71.5 million U.S. The swap calls for monthly exchanges 
from January 2008 through February 2014 with us paying CAD based on an annual rate of 17.16% of the notional 
amount and receiving U.S. dollars based on an annual rate of 17.4% of the notional amount. There is no initial or final 
exchange of the notional amounts. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. 
dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. These foreign currency derivatives should 
hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through February 
2014 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates 
utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.

In order to also hedge our net investment on the four Canadian properties, we entered into a forward contract with a 
notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date which coincides with the maturity of our 
underlying mortgage on these four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD 
per U.S. dollar. This forward contract should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in 
these four centers through February 2014 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking 
the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of our 
four Canadian properties.  

Additionally, we have entered into foreign currency forward agreements to hedge the currency fluctuations related to 
the monthly cash flows of our Canadian properties.  These foreign currency forwards settle at the end of each month 
from February to December 2012 and lock in an exchange rate of $1.00 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 
thousand monthly CAD denominated cash flows.  

See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information 
on our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Entertainment Properties Trust:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Properties Trust and subsidiaries 
(the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in 
equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. 
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the accompanying financial 
statement  schedules  II  and  III.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  and  financial  statement  schedules  are  the 
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial 
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of Entertainment Properties Trust and subsidiaries of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when 
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material 
respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on 
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

1. Organization

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entertainment Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, all 
of which are wholly-owned except for those subsidiaries discussed below.

The Company consolidates certain entities if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity 
(VIE), as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 
on Consolidation.  The Topic on Consolidation requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling 
financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: the power to direct the 
activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses 
of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could 
potentially be significant to the VIE.  This topic requires an ongoing reassessment of and eliminates the quantitative 
approach previously required for determining whether a company is the primary beneficiary and requires enhanced 
disclosures on variable interest entities.  The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company 
is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC, or does not have effective 
control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The  Company  reports  its  noncontrolling  interests  as  required  by  the  Consolidation  Topic  of  the  FASB  ASC.  
Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a 
parent. The ownership  interests  in  the  subsidiary  that  are  held  by  owners  other  than  the  parent  are  noncontrolling 
interests. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from 
the Company's equity. On the consolidated statements of income, revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-
than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to 
the Company and noncontrolling interests. Consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity are included for 
both quarterly and annual financial statements, including beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances 
for equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. The Company does not have any redeemable noncontrolling interests 
under the scope of the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance of the FASB ASC. 

As further explained in Note 10, the Company owns 96% of the membership interests of VinREIT, LLC (VinREIT). Net 
income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to VinREIT was $38 thousand, $86 thousand and $231 thousand 
for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing the noncontrolling interest’s portion 
of the annual cash flow. Total noncontrolling interest in VinREIT included in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheets was $269 thousand and $231 thousand at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

As further described in Note 8, on June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Louis Cappelli 
(Mr. Cappelli) and several of his affiliates regarding the settlement of all pending litigation and a restructuring of the 
Company’s investments with Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates. Among other things, as a part of the settlement, the Company 
now owns 100% of the New Rochelle, New York entertainment retail center (New Roc), and no longer has any ownership 
interest in the City Center entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York (City Center.)

Prior  to  June 18,  2010,  New  Roc  was  owned  71.4%  by  the  Company.  There  was  no  net  income  attributable  to 
noncontrolling interest related to New Roc for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

Prior to June 18, 2010, the Company had a 66.67% voting interest in LC White Plains Retail LLC, LC White Plains 
Recreation LLC and Cappelli Group LLC (together the White Plains LLCs), which owned City Center. Each of these 
entities was formerly a VIE and the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling 
interest  related  to  the  White  Plains  LLCs  was  $1.9  million  and  $20.1  million,  respectively,  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2010 and 2009. The operating results of this property have been reclassified into discontinued operations 
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  See Note 
22 for further details.  

Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ 
from those estimates.

Rental Properties
Rental properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred for the acquisition and development 
of the properties are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful 
lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 40 years for buildings and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures 
and equipment. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the 
lease or the estimated useful life. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the 
period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are 
capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life.

Management reviews a property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
value of a property may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future 
cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover 
the carrying value of the property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the property 
exceeds its estimated fair value.

The Company evaluates the held-for-sale classification of its real estate as of the end of each quarter. Assets that are 
classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets are 
generally classified as held for sale once management has initiated an active program to market them for sale and has 
received a firm purchase commitment that is expected to close within one year.  The results of operations of these real 
estate properties are reflected as discontinued operations in all periods reported.  On occasion, the Company will receive 
unsolicited offers from third parties to buy individual Company properties. Under these circumstances, the Company 
will classify the properties as held for sale when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective 
buyer has funds at risk to ensure performance.

Accounting for Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, the Company records the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting 
of land, building, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and 
liabilities (consisting of above and below market leases, in-place leases, tenant relationships and assumed financing 
that is determined to be above or below market terms) as well as any noncontrolling interest in accordance with FASB 
ASC Topic 805 on Business Combinations (“Topic 805”). In addition, in accordance with Topic 805, acquisition-related 
costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized. Costs related to such 
transactions, as well as costs associated with terminated transactions, are included in the accompanying Consolidated 
Statements of Income as transaction costs. Transaction costs totaled $1.7 million, $7.8 million (including $7.3 million 
in discontinued operations) and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Most of the Company’s rental property acquisitions do not involve in-place leases. In such cases, the fair value of the 
tangible assets is determined based on recent independent appraisals and management judgment. Because the Company 
typically executes these leases simultaneously with the purchase of the real estate, no value is ascribed to in-place leases 
in these transactions.

68

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

For rental property acquisitions involving in-place leases, the fair value of the tangible assets is determined by valuing 
the  property  as  if  it  were  vacant  based  on  management’s  determination  of  the  relative  fair  values  of  the  assets. 
Management determines the “as if vacant” fair value of a property using recent independent appraisals or methods 
similar to those used by independent appraisers. The aggregate value of intangible assets or liabilities is measured based 
on the difference between the stated price plus capitalized costs and the property as if vacant.

In determining the fair value of acquired in-place leases, the Company considers many factors. On a lease-by-lease 
basis, management considers the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant 
to the leases and management’s estimate of fair market lease rates. For above market leases, management considers 
such differences over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms and for below market leases, management considers 
such differences over the remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. The capitalized above-
market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the 
respective leases. The capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the 
remaining initial lease terms plus any fixed rate renewal periods. Management considers several factors in determining 
the discount rate used in the present value calculations, including the credit risks associated with the respective tenants. 
If debt is assumed in the acquisition, the determination of whether it is above or below market is based upon a comparison 
of similar financing terms for similar rental properties at the time of the acquisition.

The fair value of acquired in-place leases also includes management’s estimate, on a lease-by-lease basis, of the present 
value of the following amounts: (i) the value associated with avoiding the cost of originating the acquired in-place 
leases (i.e. the market cost to execute the leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs); (ii) the 
value associated with lost revenue related to tenant reimbursable operating costs estimated to be incurred during the 
assumed re-leasing period, (i.e. real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses); (iii) the value associated 
with lost rental revenue from existing leases during the assumed re-leasing period; and (iv) the value associated with 
avoided tenant improvement costs or other inducements to secure a tenant lease. These values are amortized over the 
remaining initial lease term of the respective leases.

The Company also determines the value, if any, associated with customer relationships considering factors such as the 
nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationship with the tenants, growth prospects for developing 
new business with the tenants and expectation of lease renewals. The value of customer relationship intangibles is 
amortized over the remaining initial lease terms plus any renewal periods.

Management  of  the  Company  reviews  the  carrying  value  of  intangible  assets  for  impairment  on  an  annual  basis. 
Intangible assets consist of the following at December 31 (in thousands):

In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $9.6 million and $11.3
million, respectively

In-place leases, net at December 31, 2011 of approximately $3.8 million, relate to four entertainment retail centers in 
Ontario, Canada that were purchased on March 1, 2004 and one entertainment retail center in Burbank, California that 
was purchased on March 31, 2005.  In-place leases, net at December 31, 2010 of approximately $29.7 million, relate 
to the above referenced properties as well as an entertainment retail center in Ontario, Canada that was purchased on 
March 4, 2010 and subsequently sold on March 29, 2011.  Above market leases, net at December 31, 2010 also related 
to this sold entertainment retail center.  See Note 22 for further details related to discontinued operations.  Goodwill at 
December 31, 2011 and 2010 relates solely to the acquisition of New Roc that was acquired on October 27, 2003.   
Amortization expense related to in-place leases is computed using the straight-line method and was $1.3 million, $1.2 
million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The weighted average 
life for these in-place leases at December 31, 2011 is 3.5 years. Amortization expense related to above market leases 
is computed using the straight-line method and was $20 thousand and $200 thousand, respectively, for the years ended

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred  financing  costs  are  amortized  over  the  terms  of  the  related  long-term  debt  obligations  or  mortgage  note 
receivable as applicable.

Capitalized Development Costs
The Company capitalizes certain costs that relate to property under development including interest and a portion of 
internal legal personnel costs.

Operating Segment
The  Company  aggregates  the  financial  information  of  all  its  investments  into  one  reportable  segment  because  the 
investments all have similar economic characteristics and because the Company does not internally report and is not 
internally organized by investment or transaction type.

Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases.  
Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when 
known.  In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties 
exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents as well as participating 
interest  for  those  mortgage  agreements  that  contain  similar  such  clauses  are  recognized  at  the  time  when  specific 
triggering events occur as provided by the lease or mortgage agreements.  Rental revenue included percentage rents of 
$1.6  million,  $1.7  million  and  $1.4  million  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2011, 2010  and  2009,  respectively.  
Mortgage and other financing income included participating interest income of  $0.5 million for the year ended December 
31, 2011.  No participating interest income was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  Lease 
termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no obligation to provide 
services to such former tenants. Termination fees of $1.1 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 
2011 of which $1.0 million has been classified within discontinued operations.  See Note 22 for further details.  No 
termination fees were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. 

Direct financing lease income is recognized on the effective interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet 
recovered.  Estimated unguaranteed residual values at the date of lease inception represent management's initial estimates 
of fair value of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used 
in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real 
estate values.  The Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently if necessary) the collectability of its 
direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired.  A direct 
financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable 
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.  When a direct 
financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded 

70

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's 
effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s 
accounts receivable balance is comprised primarily of rents and operating cost recoveries due from tenants as well as 
accrued rental rate increases to be received over the life of the existing leases. The Company regularly evaluates the 
adequacy  of  its  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts. The evaluation  primarily  consists  of  reviewing  past  due  account 
balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of the Company’s tenants, historical trends of the tenant and/
or other debtor, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment terms. Additionally, with respect to 
tenants in bankruptcy, the Company estimates the expected recovery through bankruptcy claims and increases the 
allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. If the Company’s assumptions regarding the collectiblity of accounts 
receivable prove incorrect, the Company could experience write-offs of the accounts receivable or accrued straight-
line rents receivable in excess of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.2 
million and $6.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable
Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by 
the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other 
notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and the Company defers certain loan 
origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan. 
Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest 
and principal of each of its loans to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based 
on current information and events, the Company determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts 
due according to the existing contractual terms. An insignificant delay or shortfall in amounts of payments does not 
necessarily result in the loan being identified as impaired. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of 
loss, if any, is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected 
future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the Company’s interest in the underlying 
collateral, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans, interest income is recognized on a 
cash basis, unless the Company determines based on the loan to estimated fair value ratio the loan should be on the 
cost recovery method, and any cash payments received would then be reflected as a reduction of principal. Interest 
income recognition is recommenced if and when the impaired loan becomes contractually current and performance is 
demonstrated to be resumed.

Income Taxes
The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the 
Code). A REIT which distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets 
certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. The 
Company intends to continue to qualify as a REIT and distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.

In 2004 and 2010, the Company acquired certain real estate operations that are subject to income tax in Canada. During 
2011, the Company sold one of the properties that was subject to income tax in Canada.  Also, the Company has certain 
taxable REIT subsidiaries, as permitted under the Code, through which it conducts certain business activities. The 
taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal and state income taxes on their net taxable income. Temporary differences 
between income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income for the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT 
subsidiaries relate primarily to depreciation, amortization of deferred financing costs and straight line rents. As of 
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred 
tax assets totaling approximately $17.5 million and $33.8 million and deferred tax liabilities totaling approximately 
$4.1 million and $21.7 million. As there is no assurance that the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries 
will generate taxable income in the future beyond the reversal of temporary taxable differences, the deferred tax assets 
have been offset by a valuation allowance such that there is no net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2011 and 2010. 
Furthermore, the Company qualified as a REIT and distributed the necessary amount of taxable income such that no 
federal income taxes were due for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, no provision for 
federal income taxes was recorded for any of those years. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, 

71

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) 
and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation 
as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and 
excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.

The Company’s policy is to recognize estimated interest and penalties as general and administrative expense. The 
Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns and that its accruals 
for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years (after 2008 for federal and state and after 2006 for Canada) based on 
an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each 
matter.

Concentrations of Risk
American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (35%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties 
held by the Company (including joint venture properties) at December 31, 2011 as a result of a series of sale leaseback 
transactions pertaining to a number of AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues 
(approximately  $105.3  million  or  35%,  $106.4  million  or  37%,  and  $103.7  million  or  40%  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively) result from the revenue by AMC under the leases, or its parent, AMC 
Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE), as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE had total assets of $3.7 
billion and $3.7 billion, total liabilities of $3.4 billion and $2.9 billion and total stockholders' equity of $360 million 
and $761 million at March 31, 2011 and April 1, 2010, respectively.  AMCE had a net loss of $122.9 million for the 
fifty-two weeks ended March 31, 2011, 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 a net loss of $82.7 
million for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 31, 2011.  AMCE has publicly held debt and the foregoing financial 
information was reported in its consolidated financial information which is publicly available.  

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, approximately $42.3 million or 14%, and $40.8 million or 
14%, and $35.9 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 3, on March 29, 
2011, the Company sold this entertainment retail center and accordingly, the results of operations of the property have 
been classified within discontinued operations.  The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the four Canadian 
entertainment retail centers and third-party debt represent approximately $144.6 million or 10% of the Company's net 
assets as of December 31, 2011.  The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail 
centers (including Toronto Dundas Square) and third-party debt represent approximately $355.2 million or 22% of the 
Company's net assets as of December 31, 2010.   

Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include bank demand deposits and shares of highly liquid institutional money market mutual funds 
for which cost approximates market value.

Restricted Cash
Restricted  cash  represents  cash  held  for  a  borrower’s debt  service  reserve  for  mortgage  notes  receivable,  deposits 
required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements, and escrow balances 
required in connection with the sale of Toronto Dundas Square.

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 
$5.6 million, $4.7 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Share Options
Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to non-employee Trustees for 
their service to the Company. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. Share options granted to employees vest over a period of four to five years and share 
option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Share options granted 
to non-employee Trustees vest immediately but may not be exercised for a period of one year from the grant date. Share 
option expense for non-employee Trustees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-
employee Trustees.

The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the years ended December 31, 
2011, 2010 and 2009 was $777 thousand, $674 thousand and $679 thousand, respectively. The following assumptions 
were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates: risk-free interest rate of  2.5% to 
3.1%, 2.6% to 3.1% and 2.6% to 2.8% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, dividend yield of 6.4% in 2011 and 6.5% 
to 6.6% in both 2010 and 2009, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 
39.8%, 39.5% to 39.6% and 31.4% to 37.5% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, no expected forfeitures and an 
expected life of eight years. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life of the option and the risk-
free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Additionally, expected volatility 
is computed based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded shares.

Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees
The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-
Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under 
the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive 
Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (three to five years). Total expense recognized related 
to all nonvested shares was $4.2 million, $3.6 million and $3.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 
and 2009, respectively.

Shares Issued to Non-Employee Trustees
Prior to 2009, the Company issued shares to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. These shares 
vested immediately but could not be sold for a period of one year from the grant date. This expense was amortized by 
the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized 
related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $111 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees
In  2009,  the  Company  began  issuing  restricted  share  units  to  non-employee Trustees for  payment  of  their  annual 
retainers. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units 
vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement 
date for the shares is selected by the non-employee trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon 
termination of service. This expense was amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service 
by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was $493 
thousand, $445 thousand and $260 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. 

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for the operations of its Canadian properties and mortgage note in Canadian dollars. The assets 
and liabilities related to the Company’s Canadian properties and mortgage note are translated into U.S. dollars at current 
exchange rates; revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are 
recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income.

Derivative Instruments
The  Company  has  acquired  certain  derivative  instruments  to  reduce  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency 
exchange rates and variable interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment 
and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. These derivatives consist of 
foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps.

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

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Depreciation expense on rental properties was $45.0 million, $43.0 million and $39.1 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

74

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

recorded an additional gain on sale or acquisition of real estate of  $1.2 million U.S. related to the settlement of certain 
reserves.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $2.9 million CAD of assets 
and  $5.6  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.    

4. Impairment Charges

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to sell one of its vineyard and 
winery properties.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded an impairment charge of 
$1.8 million, which is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value.  While 
this sale agreement was not ultimately executed, the Company still expects this property will be sold within a year and 
this asset has been classified as held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the results of operations 
have been classified within discontinued operations.  See Note 22 for further details.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company engaged outside brokers to list all of its winery and vineyard 
properties for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all of these assets within the next two years. Management 
estimated the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, 
current market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties 
utilizing a leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable. It was determined that the carrying value of seven of the 
Company's vineyard and winery properties exceeded the estimated fair values by $34.3 million, and an impairment 
charge was recorded in the second quarter for this amount.  Subsequent to June 30, 2011, one of these properties was 
sold.  Accordingly, the related results of operations including the impairment charge of $7.1 million for this property 
have been classified within discontinued operations.  See Note 22 for further details.

(1)  On April 4, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a secured first mortgage loan agreement 
for $25.0 million with Peak Resorts, Inc. (Peak) for the further development of Mount Snow. The loan is secured by 
approximately 696 acres of development land. On April 2, 2010, the mortgage loan agreement with Peak matured. The 
Company entered into a modification agreement with Peak and per the terms of this agreement, the maturity date of 
the loan was extended to April 1, 2012 with a one year extension option subject to approval by the Company, and the 
principal was increased to $41.0 million. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at December 31, 2011 
was $33.7 million. Peak is required to fund a debt service reserve for off-season interest and lease payments (those due 
from April to December). The reserve is to be funded by equal monthly installments during the months of January, 
February and March. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from this debt service reserve. 

(2) On December 15, 2011, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a secured first mortgage loan 
agreement for $1.5 million with Starshine Charter Holdings, LLC .  The loan is secured by approximately three acres 
of land and improvements which is expected to be developed into a public charter school.  This note bears interest at 
9.00%, requires monthly interest payments and matures on May 31, 2012.  The carrying value of this mortgage note 
receivable at December 31, 2011 was $1.3 million, including related accrued interest receivable of $6 thousand.  

(3)  The Company’s mortgage loans are secured by one water-park and adjacent land in Kansas City, Kansas as well 
as two other water-parks located in New Braunfels and South Padre Island, Texas, owned and operated by the entities 
controlled by the principals of SVVI, LLC and an affiliate of SVVI, LLC (together SVVI), the borrowers under these 
agreements. The mortgage note on the property in Kansas City, Kansas and the mortgage note on the Texas properties 
have cross-default and cross-collateral provisions. Pursuant to the mortgage on the Texas properties, only a seasonal 
line of credit secured by the Texas parks totaling not more than $7.0 million at any time ranks superior to the Company’s 
collateral position. The Company advanced $9.4 million and $5.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2011 
and 2010, respectively, under these agreements. SVVI is required to fund a debt service reserve for off-season interest 
payments (those due from September to May). The reserve is to be funded by equal monthly installments during the 
months of June, July and August. The mortgage loan agreements also contain certain participating interest and note 
pay-down provisions that may increase the return on the Company’s invested capital from 7% to as high as 10%.  During 
the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $451 thousand of participating interest income.  No 
participating interest income was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. During the year 
ended December 31, 2010, the Company amended its secured mortgage loan agreements with SVVI to provide for 
additional advances of $15.0 million for additional improvements made or to be made to the Kansas City, Kansas water-
park and the New Braunfels, Texas water-park. This increases the total commitment for this mortgage to $178.5 million 
at December 31, 2011. The carrying value of these mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2011 was $178.4 million 
with no accrued interest receivable. SVV I, LLC is a VIE, but it was determined that the Company was not the primary 
beneficiary  of  this VIE. The  Company’s maximum  exposure  to  loss  associated  with  SVVI,  LLC  is  limited  to  the 
Company’s outstanding mortgage note and related accrued interest receivable.

(4)  On March 10, 2006, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company provided a secured mortgage loan of $8.0 million 
to SNH Development, Inc. The secured property is the Crotched Mountain Ski Resort located in Bennington, New 
Hampshire. The property serves the Boston and Southern New Hampshire markets and has approximately 308 acres. 
This loan is guaranteed by Peak, which operates the property. Peak is required to fund a debt service reserve for off-
season interest and lease payments (those due from April to December). The reserve is to be funded by equal monthly 
installments  during  the  months  of  January, February  and  March.  Monthly  interest  payments  are  transferred  to  the 
Company from this debt service reserve.  Annually, this interest rate increases based on a formula dependent in part on 
increases in the CPI.

(5)    On April 4,  2007,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company  entered  into  two  secured  first  mortgage  loan 
agreements totaling $73.5 million with Peak of which $62.5 million has been advanced as of December 31, 2011. The 
loans are secured by two ski resorts located in Vermont and New Hampshire. Mount Snow is approximately 2,378 acres 
and is located in both West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont. Mount Attitash is approximately 1,250 acres and is located 
in Bartlett, New Hampshire. Peak is required to fund a debt service reserve for off-season interest and lease payments 
(those due from April to December). The reserve is to be funded by equal monthly installments during the months of 
January, February and March. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from this debt service reserve. 
Annually, this interest rate increases based on a formula dependent in part on increases in the CPI. 

(6)    On  October 30,  2007,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company  entered  into  a  secured  first  mortgage  loan 
agreement for $31.0 million with Peak, which was subsequently amended to $50.0 million.  The Company advanced 
$9.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2011 under this agreement.  The loan is secured by seven ski resorts 
located in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania with a total of approximately 1,431 acres. Peak is required to fund 
a debt service reserve for off-season interest and lease payments (those due from April to December). The reserve is 
to  be  funded  by  equal  monthly  installments  during  the  months  of  January, February  and  March.  Monthly  interest 
payments are transferred to the Company from this debt service reserve.  Annually, this interest rate increases based 
on a formula dependent in part on increases in the CPI.

properties that are leased to HighMark.  At September 30, 2011, these investments totaling $21.0 million were included 
in investment in direct financing lease, net, in the consolidated balance sheet.  Due to a subsequent lease amendment

8. Cappelli Litigation and Sullivan County Planned Casino and Resort Development

On December 31, 2009, the Company commenced litigation in Kansas City, Missouri, against Mr. Cappelli and several 
of his affiliates seeking payment of amounts due under various loans to them and a declaratory judgment that no further 
investments are required to be made by the Company under any prior commitment to Mr. Cappelli or any of his affiliates. 
This litigation included claims by the Company seeking payment of amounts due under a mortgage note receivable 
(the Concord Mortgage Note) with a carrying value of $131.2 million, net of unearned interest, from Concord Resort, 
LLC (Concord Resort), an entity controlled by Mr. Cappelli, related to a planned casino and resort development in 
Sullivan County, New York, and other notes receivable. On April 9, 2010, Mr. Cappelli and certain affiliates commenced 
separate litigation in Westchester County, New York against the Company seeking declaratory relief, derivative relief 
and money damages with respect to the Sullivan County casino project and City Center.

On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Mr. Cappelli and several of his affiliates 
regarding the settlement of all pending litigation and a restructuring of the Company's investments with Mr. Cappelli 
and his affiliates. The significant terms of the agreements are as follows:

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

Concord Resort transferred its interests in the Concord resort property to one of the Company's wholly owned 
subsidiaries in exchange for its release from obligations under the Concord Mortgage Note, subject to, among 
other terms: an option granted to Concord Resort to purchase for a two-year period the Company's subsidiary 
that is holding the Concord resort property for $143.0 million, plus interest accruing on such sum at the rate 
of 6% per annum, a right of first refusal granted to Concord Resort with respect to purchasing the Company's 
interest in the Concord resort property applicable for a period of two years running concurrently with the 
option described above, certain limitations for a period of time on the Company's ability to own or operate 
any casino, racino, racing or gaming facility on the Concord resort property, which is adjacent to the Concord 
casino property owned by an affiliate of Mr. Cappelli (the Casino Owner), and certain perpetual limitations 
on the ability of the Casino Owner (or its successor) to own or operate a resort facility, golf course or other 
operation or facility on the Concord casino property, other than the currently contemplated casino and hotel 
project. The Company agreed that, upon the Cappelli affiliate's execution of an agreement for the construction 
of the Concord casino on the Concord casino property and execution of a Master Credit Agreement (the MCA) 
on or before June 11, 2012, substantially in the form attached to the settlement documents, the Company would 
lease or sublease, as applicable, two golf courses that are associated with the Concord resort property to a 
Cappelli affiliate on a triple-net basis for an initial term of 10 years, plus fivefive-year extensions at fair market 
value rent mutually acceptable to the parties. The Company also agreed that, upon the Cappelli affiliate's 
execution of the MCA on or before June 11, 2012, substantially in the form attached to the settlement documents, 
the Company would enter into a ground lease (for $1.00 per year), with a right for the Cappelli affiliate to  
eventually purchase, a parcel of approximately 51 acres known as the “Racino Parcel” upon completion of 
construction of the harness track and relocation of a roadway. The Cappelli affiliate also has the right to ground 
lease the parcel (with option to purchase) for a five year period (until June 11, 2017) if the MCA is not signed, 
but in that case, rent would be $200,000 per year, payable in advance.  In either case, the purchase option 
described above would be exercisable for nominal consideration ($1.00), but the lease and the option would 
lapse if vertical construction on the Cappelli affiliate's proposed casino had not commenced, or was not being 
diligently and continuously pursued to completion on June 18, 2015. Management determined the fair value 
of the real estate to be $180.0 million by taking into account an independent appraisal prepared as of the 
settlement date. The fair value of the option granted to Concord Resort of $27.8 million was recorded as 
noncontrolling interest and a ground lease assumed by the Company was recorded as a capital lease obligation 
of $9.2 million, which is equal to the fair value.  This lease obligation was subsequently satisfied by the 
Company on December 7, 2011.  See Note 12 for further details.  

The Company transferred to an affiliate of Mr. Cappelli, KBC Concord LLC (KBC Concord), three promissory 
notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million and for which the Company had previously recorded 
a loan loss reserve in the aggregate of $28.0 million, in exchange for an agreement by KBC Concord to pay 
the Company up to $15.0 million payable from 50% of the available cash distributed to KBC Concord from 
its minority interest in the Concord casino project which was determined by management to have a fair value 
of approximately $463 thousand.  The Company evaluated the $463 thousand asset related to cash flow rights 
in the Concord casino for impairment at December 31, 2010 and determined that it was fully impaired. An 
impairment charge was recorded as of December 31, 2010 for this amount.

The Company provided a commitment to acquire a $30.0 million participation (pari passu with the other 
lenders) from Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULLICO) in a loan to be made by ULLICO and other 
lenders under a proposed amended and restated master credit agreement to the Concord casino project, which 
was conditioned upon, among other things, receipt of a $100.0 million equity investment by a major gaming 
operator prior to December 31, 2010. This commitment expired on December 31, 2010.

One of Mr. Cappelli's affiliates, LC New Roc LP, transferred to the Company its partnership interest in New 
Roc Associates, L.P. (previously a consolidated joint venture that had a noncontrolling interest with a fair 
value of $2.5 million at the date of settlement), which owns New Roc, in exchange for the Company's interest 
in LC White Plains Retail LLC and LC White Plains Recreation, LLC (together the White Plains LLCs, each 
part of a previously consolidated joint venture), which own City Center, and a promissory note related to City 
Center, in the original principal amount of $20.0 million payable by Cappelli Group, LLC to the Company 

79

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

(previously eliminated in consolidation). The deconsolidation by the Company of its ownership interest in 
City Center resulted in a charge of $7.4 million in conjunction with the settlement primarily related to the 
deficit balance in noncontrolling interest. As a result, the Company now holds a 100% interest in New Roc 
and has no interest in City Center. As further detailed in Note 22, the results of operations of City Center have 
been classified in discontinued operations.

In addition, the Company paid cash at closing of $3.7 million for the interests acquired, the acquisition of 
certain equipment and the payment of property obligations. The Company also incurred $1.6 million in closing 
costs and other expenses, including transfer taxes, and the parties mutually released and settled all claims, 
obligations and liabilities, including all pending litigation.

A reconciliation of the gain on settlement of $4 thousand is as follows (in thousands):

Fair value of Concord resort land received
Carrying value of extinguished mortgage note receivable related to Concord resort
Fair value of option granted for purchase for Concord resort (included in non-controlling
interest)
Capital lease obligation assumed related to Concord resort
Fair value of cash flow rights in Concord casino
Fair value of New Roc non-controlling interest received
Notes receivable forgiven, net of loan loss reserves
Deconsolidation of ownership interests in City Center
Cash paid at closing for interests acquired, equipment and payment of property obligations
Settlement closing costs and other expenses, including land transfer taxes

On June 7, 2011, Concord Associates, L.P., Concord Resort, LLC and Concord Kiamesha LLC (the Cappelli Group) 
filed a complaint with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Sullivan, against a subsidiary of the 
Company seeking a declaratory judgment on certain of the subsidiary's obligations under the settlement agreement, an 
order that the Company subsidiary execute the golf course lease and the “Racino Parcel” lease, and an extension of the 
restrictive covenant against ownership or operation of a casino on the Concord resort property, which covenant was 
set to expire on December 31, 2011.  On October 20, 2011, the Cappelli Group amended the Sullivan County lawsuit 
to drop all claims except that seeking an extension of the restrictive covenant, and simultaneously filed a new suit 
against  the Company and certain of its subsidiaries alleging breach of contract and breach of the duty of good faith 
and fair dealing with respect to a casino development agreement relating to the planned casino and resort development 
in Sullivan County, New York.  Plaintiffs are seeking specific performance with respect to such agreement and money 
damages of $800 million.  The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and 
certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli group for which it believes it has meritorious defenses.

On April 12, 2011, the Company and Empire Resorts, Inc. (Empire Resorts) entered an Exclusivity Agreement, whereby 
the parties agreed to explore the possibility of developing a casino, hotel and harness racetrack on the Concord resort 
property.  As part of the Exclusivity Agreement, Empire Resorts acknowledged that any of the agreements or obligations 
imposed by the Exclusivity Agreement would be subject to the rights granted to Mr. Cappelli and his affiliates in 
connection with the Settlement Agreement dated June 18, 2010 (the Cappelli Rights).  That Exclusivity Agreement 
was extended twice, through December 21, 2011, as the parties continued to plan and negotiate.  On December 21, 
2011, the parties entered into an Option to Lease Agreement (the Option) covering approximately 190 acres of the 
Concord resort property.  The Option runs for a period of six months, and included an option payment of $750 thousand 
by Empire Resorts to the Company.  The Option may be extended by Empire Resorts for successive periods of six 
months through June 30, 2013 upon making additional payments of $750 thousand each.  The option payments become 
nonrefundable if and when the parties finalize a master development agreement.   The Option includes a good faith 
obligation for both parties to work diligently to complete a master development agreement before March 31, 2012.    
There can be no guarantee that a master development agreement will be finalized or that the $750 thousand payment

will  be  earned  by  the  Company.  Accordingly, this  item  is  included  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities  at 
December 31, 2011 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As set forth in the Exclusivity Agreement, the 
Option contains an acknowledgment and recognition of the Cappelli Rights.

13. Variable Interest Entities

The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the 
Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining 
if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the 
primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting 
rights,  involvement  in  day-to-day  capital  and  operating  decisions,  representation  on  a VIE’s executive  committee, 
existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company 
and the other partner(s).

Consolidated VIEs
Prior to December 22, 2011, the Company's consolidated VIEs consisted of a 50% interest in Suffolk Retail, LLC, 
which owns an entertainment retail center in Suffolk, Virginia.  As further described in Note 10, on December 22, 2011, 
the Company acquired all of the shares from the noncontrolling interest and this entity became a wholly-owned subsidiary 
and is no longer a VIE.  

Additionally, prior to June 18, 2010, the Company's consolidated VIEs consisted of a 66.67% interest in the White 
Plains LLC's, which own City Center in White Plains, New York.  As further described in Note 8, in conjunction with 
the Cappelli settlement, the Company no longer has interest in the White Plains LLCs.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has invested in one 50% joint venture which is a VIE.  This joint venture does 
not have any significant assets and liabilities at December 31, 2011 and was established to explore certain investment 
opportunities.  

Unconsolidated VIE
At December 31, 2011, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $178.4 million. 
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage 
note and related accrued interest receivable of $178.4 million because there are no commitments to fund above this 
amount. For further discussion of this mortgage note, see Note 6.

While this entity is a VIE, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most 
significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company. The Company does not have the 
power to direct these activities. Additionally, the Company does not have the right to receive benefits (beyond its interest 
payments per the note agreement) and does not have the obligation to absorb losses of SVVI, as its equity at risk is 
limited to the amount invested in the note.

14. Derivative Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on its LIBOR 
based borrowings. The Company limits this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures 
including the use of derivatives. The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings 
and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish 
this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its 
exposure  to  interest  rate  movements  on  its  LIBOR  based  borrowings. To accomplish  this  objective,  the  Company 
currently uses interest rate swaps as its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash 
flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making 
fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2010,  the  Company  terminated  three  of  its  interest  rate  swap  agreements  in 
connection with the payoff of the related debt.  These interest rate swaps had a combined outstanding notional amount 
of $118.6 million at termination and $8.7 million was reclassified into earnings as an expense during the year ended 
December 31, 2010, as the forecasted future transactions were no longer probable.  On February 7, 2011, the Company 
terminated six of its interest rate swap agreements as the related loan agreements were paid in full.  These interest rate 
swaps had a combined notional amount of $87.7 million at termination and $4.6 million was reclassified into earnings 
as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2011, as the forecasted future transactions were no longer probable.  
At December 31, 2011, the Company had no interest rate swaps outstanding.      

On January 5, 2012 the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on a $240.0 
million term loan that closed on the same day.  These agreements have a combined outstanding notional amount of  
$240.0 million, a termination date of January 5, 2016 and a fixed rate of  2.66%.  See Note 25 for further details.  

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow 
hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings 
in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 
and 2009, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The 
ineffective  portion  of  the  change  in  fair  value  of  the  derivatives  is  recognized  directly  in  earnings.  No  hedge 
ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was recognized during the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest 
expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. 

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, the U.S. dollar, on its four 
Canadian properties.  The Company uses cross currency swaps and foreign currency forwards to mitigate its exposure 
to fluctuations in the CAD to U.S. dollar exchange rate on its Canadian properties. These foreign currency derivatives 
should hedge a significant portion of the Company's expected CAD denominated cash flow of the Canadian properties 
through February 2014 as their impact on the Company's cash flow when settled should move in the opposite direction 
of the exchange rates utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.  

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s cross-currency swaps had a fixed original notional value of $76.0 million CAD 
and $71.5 million U.S. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on 
approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through February 2014.

The Company entered into foreign currency forward agreements to further hedge the currency fluctuations related to 
the cash flows of these properties.  These foreign currency forwards settled at the end of each month from April to 
December 2011 and locked in an exchange rate of $0.99 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand of 
monthly CAD denominated cash flows.  Additionally, in February 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency 
forward agreements that settle at the end of each month from February to December 2012 and lock in an exchange rate 
of $1.00 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $500 thousand of monthly CAD denominated cash flows.  

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated and that qualify as cash 
flow  hedges  of  foreign  exchange  risk  is  recorded  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  and  subsequently 
reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion 
of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, 

89

 
ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives has been recognized for 
the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company estimates that during 
the twelve months ending December 31, 2012, $0.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive 
income to other expense.

Net Investment Hedges
As discussed above, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its four Canadian properties. 
As such, the Company uses currency forward agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates. 
Currency forward agreements involve fixing the CAD to U.S. dollar exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount 
of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in US dollars for 
their fair value at or close to their settlement date. In order to hedge the net investment in four of the Canadian properties, 
the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100 million CAD and $96.1 million U.S. 
with a February 2014 settlement which coincides with the maturity of the Company’s underlying mortgage on these 
four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. This forward 
contract should hedge a significant portion of the Company’s CAD denominated net investment in these four centers 
through February 2014 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking the derivative to 
market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of these four Canadian 
properties.

In addition, on February 3, 2011, in order to hedge the foreign currency exposure related to the proceeds from the 
March 29, 2011 sale of a Canadian property, the Company entered into a forward contract to sell $200 million CAD 
for $201.5 million U.S. dollars.  The contract settled in conjunction with the sale of the property on March 29, 2011 
and the $4.3 million loss related to the settlement was recognized with the gain on sale of the property. 

For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value 
of  the  derivatives  are  reported  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  as  part  of  the  cumulative  translation 
adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No 
hedge ineffectiveness on net investment hedges has been recognized for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 
2009. Amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings when the hedged net 
investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

See Note 15 for disclosure relating to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments. Below is a summary of 
the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of changes in equity and income for the years ended 
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its interest rate derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if 
the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been 
accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative obligations.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements 
was $2.0 million. If the Company breached any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be 
required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.9 million.

15. Fair Value Disclosures

The  Company’s  has  certain  financial  instruments  that  are  required  to  be  measured  under  the  FASB’s  Fair  Value 
Measurements and Disclosures guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-
financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As  a  basis  for  considering  market  participant  assumptions  in  fair  value  measurements,  the  FASB’s  Fair  Value 
Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant 
assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that 
are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant 
assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). In instances where the determination of 
the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value 
hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to 
the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the 
fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps to manage its interest rate 
and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques 
including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  each  derivative.  This  analysis  reflects  the 
contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including 
interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined 
using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected 
variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) 
derived  from  observable  market  interest  rate  curves.  The  Company  incorporates  credit  valuation  adjustments  to 
appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the 
fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, 
the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, 
thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 
of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives also utilize Level 3 inputs, 
such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of 
December 31, 2011, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on 
the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant 
to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, has classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value 
reporting hierarchy.

The  table  below  presents  the  Company’s  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  as  of 
December 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified 
and by derivative type.

As further discussed in Note 4, during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded impairment charges 
of  $36.1 million relating to adjustments to the carrying value of several of the Company's winery and vineyard properties.  
The adjustment is the amount that the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated fair market value.  Management 
estimated the fair values of these properties taking into account various factors, including the shortened holding period, 
current market conditions as well as independent appraisals prepared as of June 30, 2011 for most of the properties 
utilizing a leased fee or fee simple approach as applicable.  Based on this input, the Company determined that its 
valuation of this investment was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  

On March 3, 2011, the Company assumed a mortgage note payable of $3.8 million in conjunction with the acquisition 
of a theatre property.  The note was recorded at fair value upon acquisition which was estimated to be $4.1 million. 
The fair value of the note was determined by discounting the future cash flows of the note using an estimated current 
market rate of 5.29%.  Based on this input, the Company determined that its valuation of this note was classified within 
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 December 31, 2011:

Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:
The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable is estimated by discounting 
the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a 
carrying value of $325.1 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued 
interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.48%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest 
at rates of 7.00% to 10.46%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using an 
estimated weighted average market rate of 10.04%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage 
notes receivable to be approximately $298.9 million at December 31, 2011.

Investment in a direct financing lease, net:
The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease as of December 31, 2011 is estimated by 
discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2011, the Company 
had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of 233.6 million and a weighted average 
effective interest rate of 12.02%. The investment in direct financing lease bears interest at effective interest rates 
of 11.93% to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in a direct financing lease approximates the fair market 
value at December 31, 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash:
Due to the highly liquid nature of our short term investments, the carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents 
and restricted cash approximate the fair market values at December 31, 2011.

Accounts receivable, net:
The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate the fair market value at December 31, 2011.

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

Notes and related accrued interest receivable, net:
The fair value of the Company’s notes and related accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2011 is estimated 
by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2011, the 
Company had a carrying value of $5.0 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 8.43%. 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 9.40%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate notes receivable 
to be approximately $4.8 million at December 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 December 31, 2011 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows 
of each instrument using current market rates.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had a carrying value of 
$233.6 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 1.94%.  
The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximates the fair market value at December 31, 2011.

At  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  had  a  carrying  value  of    $920.7  million  in  fixed  rate  long-term  debt 
outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 6.55%. Discounting the future cash flows 
for fixed rate debt using an estimated market rate of 5.53%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate 
debt to be approximately $950.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:
The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value at December 31, 2011 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 at December 31, 2011 
due to the short term maturities of these amounts.

Series B Preferred Shares
On January 19, 2005, the Company issued 3.2 million 7.75% Series B cumulative redeemable preferred shares ("Series 
B preferred shares") in a registered public offering. On August 31, 2011, the Company completed the redemption of 
all 3.2 million outstanding 7.75%  Series B preferred shares.  The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.32 
per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of 
$0.484375 prorated through the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, the Company recognized a charge 
representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 2005 and other redemption related expenses. The Series B 
preferred share redemption costs, which reduced net income available to common shareholders for the year ended 
December 31 2011, were $2.8 million.

Series C Convertible Preferred Shares
On  December 22,  2006,  the  Company  issued  5.4  million  5.75%  Series  C  cumulative  convertible  preferred  shares 
(“Series C preferred shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $130.8 million, after 
expenses. The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series C preferred shares from the date of original 

95

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

issuance in the amount of $1.4375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 5.75% of the $25 liquidation preference 
per share. Dividends on the Series C preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company does not have the 
right to redeem the Series C preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. 
The  Series  C  preferred  shares  have  no  stated  maturity  and  will  not  be  subject  to  any  sinking  fund  or  mandatory 
redemption. As of December 31, 2011, the Series C preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the 
Company’s common  shares  at  a  conversion  rate  of  0.3574  common  shares  per  Series  C  preferred  share,  which  is 
equivalent to a conversion price of  $69.95 per common share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon 
certain specified triggering events including if the Company’s common dividend per share exceeds a quarterly threshold 
of $0.6875.

Upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  fundamental  changes,  the  Company  will  under  certain  circumstances  increase  the 
conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to 
adjust the conversion rate upon the Series C preferred shares becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring 
or surviving company.

On or after January 15, 2012, the Company may, at its option, cause the Series C preferred shares to be automatically 
converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company 
may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals 
or exceeds 135% of the then prevailing conversion price of the Series C preferred shares.

Owners of the Series C preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. Upon 
conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to the owners in cash, common shares, or a 
combination of cash and common shares.

The Board of Trustees declared cash dividends totaling $1.4375 per Series C preferred share for each of the years ended 
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

in part from time to time, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the date 
of redemption. The Series D preferred shares generally have no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund 
or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of the Company’s other securities. Owners of the Series D 
preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults.

Series E Convertible Preferred Shares
On April 2, 2008, the Company issued 3.5 million 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series E 
preferred shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $83.4 million, after expenses. The 
Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series E preferred shares from the date of original issuance in the 
amount of $2.25 per share each year, which is equivalent to 9.00% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends 
on the Series E preferred shares are payable quarterly in arrears. The Company does not have the right to redeem the 
Series E preferred shares except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. The Series E preferred 
shares have no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. As of December 31, 
2011, the Series E preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a 
conversion rate of 0.4512 common shares per Series E preferred share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of 
$55.41  per  common  share.  This  conversion  ratio  may  increase  over  time  upon  certain  specified  triggering  events

ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

including if the Company’s common dividend per share exceeds a quarterly threshold of $0.84.

Upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  fundamental  changes,  the  Company  will  under  certain  circumstances  increase  the 
conversion rate by a number of additional common shares or, in lieu thereof, may in certain circumstances elect to 
adjust the conversion rate upon the Series E preferred shares becoming convertible into shares of the public acquiring 
or surviving company.

On or after April 20, 2013, the Company may, at its option, cause the Series E preferred shares to be automatically 
converted into that number of common shares that are issuable at the then prevailing conversion rate. The Company 
may exercise its conversion right only if, at certain times, the closing price of the Company’s common shares equals

Owners of the Series E preferred shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. Upon 
conversion, the Company may choose to deliver the conversion value to the owners in cash, common shares, or a 
combination of cash and common shares.

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s 5.75% Series C 
cumulative  convertible  preferred  shares  and  the  additional  1.6  million  common  shares  that  would  result  from  the 
conversion of the Company’s 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back 
of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 
the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 because the effect is anti-dilutive.

As of January 1, 2009, the Company’s nonvested share awards are considered participating securities and are included 
in the calculation of earnings per share under the two-class method as required by the Earnings Per Share Topic of the 
FASB ASC.  The Company issues restricted share units to its non-employee trustees. The restricted share units are 
entitled to receive dividend payments from the date of grant and are therefore considered participating securities under 
the two-class method. As such, the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share include 
the nonvested restricted share units.

18. Equity Incentive Plan

All grants of common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan 
prior to May 9, 2007, and under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan on and after May 9, 2007. Under the 2007 Equity 
Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 1,950,000 common shares, options to purchase common shares and restricted share 
units, subject to adjustment in the event of certain capital events, may be granted. At December 31, 2011, there were 
675,941 shares available for grant under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share Options
Share options granted under both the 1997 Share Incentive Plan and the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan have exercise prices 
equal to the fair market value of a common share at the date of grant. The options may be granted for any reasonable 
term, not to exceed 10 years, and for employees typically become exercisable at a rate of 25% per year over a four-
year period, however, this was typically at a rate of 20% per year over a five-year period for options granted prior to 
2009.  For non-employee Trustees, share options are vested upon issuance, however, the share options may not be 
exercised for a one year period subsequent to the grant date. The Company generally issues new common shares upon 
option exercise. A summary of the Company’s share option activity and related information is as follows:

The Company has agreed to finance future development costs for three of its public charter school properties.  At 
December 31, 2011, the Company has commitments to fund approximately $10.8 million of additional improvements 
for these properties which is expected to be funded in 2012. Development costs are advanced by 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 operators at  pre-determined rate upon completion of construction.

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 December 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 December 31, 2011, the Company had seven mortgage notes 
receivable with commitments totaling approximately $28.5 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest 
will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

25. Subsequent Events

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

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

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

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

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15
(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that 
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as 
such  term  is  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  of  the  Exchange Act.  Under  the  supervision  and  with  the 
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an 
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 
Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework, our management concluded 
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011. KPMG, LLP, the independent 
registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.

Because  of  its  inherent limitations, internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements, errors or fraud. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the 
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of or compliance with 
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Entertainment Properties Trust:

We  have  audited  Entertainment  Properties  Trust’s  (the Company)  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for 
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal 
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial 
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based 
on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining 
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and 
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit 
also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our 
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly 
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on 
the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Properties Trust as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the 
years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December 31, 2011,  and  our  report  dated  February 24,  2012  expressed  an 
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
