The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The Company consolidates certain entities if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined in FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN46R, or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. Base rent escalation on leases that are dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. Straight-line rent receivable is included in accounts receivable and was $18.7 million and $16.4 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, most of the Company’s tenants are subject to additional rents if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents are recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the lease agreements. Percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.9 million were recognized during

the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no obligation to provide services to such former tenants. Termination fees of $4.1 million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Concentrations of Risk
American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) is the lessee of a substantial portion (52%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company (including joint venture properties) at June 30, 2007 as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to a number of AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s rental revenues (approximately $47.5 million, or 54%, and $46.7 million, or 55%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively) result from the rental payments by AMC under the leases, or its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE), as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE has publicly held debt and accordingly, its consolidated financial information is publicly available.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately $16.6 million, or 15%, and $15.8 million, or 16%, of total revenue was derived from the Company’s four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately $21.9 million, or 20%, and $19.7 million, or 20%, of our total revenue was derived from the Company’s four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada combined with the mortgage financing interest related to the Company’s mortgage note receivable held in Canada and initially funded on June 1, 2005. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the Canadian entertainment retail centers, third party debt and mortgage note receivable represent approximately $187.3 million or 19% and $164.0 million or 19% of the Company’s net assets as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is issued to employees of the Company pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, and to Trustees for their service to the Company. Prior to May 9, 2007, all common shares and options to purchase common shares were issued under the 1997 Share Incentive Plan. The 2007 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 9, 2007 annual meeting and this plan replaces the 1997 Share Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all common shares and options to purchase common shares granted on or after May 9, 2007 are issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Company accounts for share based compensation under the Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R “Share-Based Payment.” Share based compensation expense consists of share option expense, amortization of restricted share grants and shares issued to trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share based compensation is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, and totaled $1.6 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Share Options
Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to trustees for their service to the Company. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and vest either immediately or up to a period of 5 years. Share option expense for all options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for those unvested options held by a retired executive which were fully expensed as of June 30, 2006.

The expense related to share options included in the determination of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $216 thousand and $671 thousand (including $522 thousand in expense recognized related to unvested share options held by a retired executive at the time of his retirement), respectively. The following assumptions were used in applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the grant dates: risk-free interest rate of 4.8% and 4.8% to 5.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, dividend yield of 5.2% to 5.4% and 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company’s common shares of 19.5% to 19.8% and 21.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, no expected forfeitures and an expected life of eight years.
Restricted Shares Issued to Employees
The Company grants restricted shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the restricted shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the restricted share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (usually three to five years), except for those unvested shares held by a retired executive which were fully expensed as of June 30, 2006.
Total expense recognized related to all restricted shares was $1.3 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The expense of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes $852 thousand in expense related to unvested shares held by a retired executive at the time of his retirement, and $1.7 million in expense related to unvested shares from prior years related to the Annual Incentive Program.
Shares Issued to Trustees
The Company issues shares to Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to Trustees was $113 thousand and $80 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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

6. City Center at White Plains Transaction
On May 8, 2007, the Company acquired Class A shares in both LC White Plains Retail LLC and LC White Plains Recreation LLC in exchange for $10.5 million of which $10.2 million was paid at closing. These two entities (together “the White Plains LLCs”) own City Center at White Plains, a 390 thousand square foot entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York that is anchored by a 15 screen megaplex theatre operated by National Amusements. The Class A shares have an initial capital account balance of $10.5 million, a 66.67% voting interest and a 10% preferred return, as further described below.
Cappelli Group, LLC holds the Class B shares in the White Plains LLCs. The Class B shares have an initial capital account balance of $25 million and a 9% preferred return as further described below. City Center Group LLC holds the Class C and Class D shares in the White Plains LLCs. The Class C and Class D shares each have an initial capital account balance of $5 million, the Class C shares have a 33.33% voting interest and preferred returns for each of these classes are further described below.
As detailed in the operating agreements of the White Plains LLCs, cash flow is distributed as follows: first to the Company to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class A shares, or $1.05 million, second to Cappelli Group to allow for a preferred return of 9% on the original capital account of its Class B shares, or $2.25 million, third to City Center Group LLC to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class C shares, or $0.5 million, fourth to City Center Group LLC to allow for a preferred return of 10% on the original capital account of its Class D shares, or $0.5 million. The operating agreements provide several other priorities of cash flow related to return on and return of subsequent capital contributions that rank below the above four preferred returns. The final priority calls for the remaining cash flow to be distributed 66.67% to the Company’s Class A shares and 33.33% to City Center Group LLC’s Class C shares. If the cash flow of the White Plains LLCs is not sufficient to pay any of the preferred returns described above, the preferred returns remain undistributed, but are due upon a liquidation or refinancing event. Upon liquidation or refinancing, after all undistributed preferred returns and

return of capital accounts are paid, any remaining cash is distributed 66.67% to the Company and 33.33% to City Center Group LLC.
Additionally, the Company loaned $20 million to Cappelli Group, LLC which is secured by the Cappelli Group, LLC’s Class B shares of the White Plains LLCs. The note has a stated maturity of May 8, 2027 and bears interest at the rate of 10%. Cappelli Group, LLC is only required to make cash interest payments on the $20 million note payable to the extent that they have received cash distributions on their Class B shares of the White Plains LLCs. The White Plains LLC’s are required to pay Cappelli Group, LLC’s Class B distributions directly to the Company to the extent there is accrued interest receivable on the $20 million note.
The Cappelli Group, LLC as well as the White Plains LLCs are VIEs and the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of each of these VIEs. Accordingly, these VIEs have been consolidated into the Company’s June 30, 2007 financial statements. The $20 million note between the Company and Cappelli Group, LLC and the related interest income and expense have been eliminated. The Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include net loss related to the City Center at White Plains transaction of $89 thousand.

As of the May 8, 2007 acquisition date, the White Plains LLCs had real estate assets with a fair value of approximately $166.0 million (per a third party appraisal) which included $7.6 million of in-place leases and $0.5 million of net other assets. Amortization expense related to these in-place leases is computed using the straight-line method and was $165 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted average remaining life of these in-place leases at June 30, 2007 was 10.3 years.
The outstanding mortgage debt on the property at the date of the acquisition totaled $119.7 million and consisted of two mortgage notes payable which approximated their fair values. The mortgage note payable to Union Labor Life Insurance Company had a balance of $114.7 million at the date of the acquisition. This note bears interest at 5.6% and requires monthly principal payments of $42 thousand plus interest through October 2009, and $83 thousand plus interest from November 2009

through the maturity date, with a final principal payment due at maturity on October 7, 2010 of $113.5 million. This note can be extended for an additional two to four years at the option of the borrower upon meeting certain conditions outlined in the loan agreement. The mortgage note payable to Empire State Department Corporation (ESDC) had a balance of $5.0 million at the date of the acquisition. This note bears interest at 5.0%, requires monthly payments of interest only and provides for the conversion from construction loan to a ten year permanent loan upon completion of construction. However, as of June 30, 2007, ESDC had not yet completed such conversion.
The Company has also committed to provide a $10 million revolving line of credit to City Center Group LLC. This note bears interest at 10%, requires monthly interest payments, and matures on May 8, 2017. The note is secured by rights to the economic interest of the Class C and Class D interests in the White Plains LLCs, and is personally guaranteed by the two shareholders of City Center Group LLC. The Company had not advanced any funds against this note at June 30, 2007.

8. Investments in Mortgage Notes
On March 13, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a secured mortgage loan agreement for $93.0 million with SVV I, LLC for the development of a water-park anchored entertainment village. The Company advanced $35.9 million during March of 2007 and $47.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 under this agreement. The secured property is approximately 368 acres of development land located in Kansas City, Kansas. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2007 was $84.3 million, including related accrued interest receivable of $609 thousand. This loan is guaranteed by the Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Group (Bad-Schloss, Inc., Waterpark Management, Inc., Golden Seal Investments, Inc., Liberty Partnership, Ltd., Henry Condo I, Ltd., and Henry-Walnut, Ltd.) and has a maturity date of March 12, 2008. Monthly interest payments are made to the Company and the unpaid principal balance bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%. 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.

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 Resorts, Inc. (“Peak”). The Company advanced $48.5 million during April of 2007 under these agreements. The loans are secured by two ski resorts located in Vermont and New Hampshire. Mount Snow is approximately 2,378 acres and is located in both West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont. Mount Attitash is approximately 1,250 acres and is located in Bartlett, New Hampshire. The carrying value of these mortgage notes at June 30, 2007 was $48.5 million with no related accrued interest receivable. The loans have a maturity date of April 3, 2027 and the unpaid principal balance initially bears interest at 10%. These notes currently require Peak to fund debt service reserves annually by April 30th for the amount of the upcoming year’s debt service. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from these debt service reserves which had a balance of $3.7 million at June 30, 2007.
Additionally, on April 4, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a third secured first mortgage loan agreement for $25.0 million with Peak for the further development of Mount Snow. The loan is secured by approximately 696 acres of development land. The Company advanced the full amount of the loan during April of 2007. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2007 was $25.6 million, including related accrued interest receivable of $609 thousand. The loan has a maturity date of April 2, 2010 at which time the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest is due. The unpaid principal balance bears interest at 10%.
9. Mortgage Notes Payable
On February 21, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $11.6 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Biloxi, Mississippi. The mortgage loan bears interest at 6.06%, matures on March 1, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $75 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of $9.0 million. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
On March 23, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $11.9 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Fresno, California. The mortgage loan bears interest at 6.07%, matures on April 6, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $77 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of $9.2 million. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
On April 18, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained three non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $20.3 million. Each of these mortgages are secured by a theatre property, bear interest at a rate of 5.95% per year, and mature on May 1, 2017. These mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments totaling $130 thousand with final principal payments at maturity totaling $15.8 million. The net proceeds from these loans were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
On April 19, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company obtained two non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $34.7 million. Each of these mortgages are secured by a theatre property, bear interest at a rate of 5.73% per year, and mature on May 1, 2017.

10. Amendment of Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On April 18, 2007, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment allows additional assets, subject to certain limitations, to be included in the Company’s borrowing base, and provides a more favorable valuation of the Company’s megaplex theatres and entertainment related retail assets in the calculation of the borrowing base and the leverage ratio. Additionally, the amendment relaxes the covenants that limit the Company’s investment in certain types of assets, raises its capacity to issue letters of credit and provides the Company with the flexibility to incur other unsecured recourse indebtedness, subject to certain limitations, beyond the unsecured revolving credit facility. The size, term and pricing of the unsecured revolving credit facility were not impacted by the amendment.
11. Property Acquisitions and Disposition
On April 30, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased a 35 acre vineyard and winery facility in Hopland, California, and simultaneously leased this property to Rb Wine Associates, LLC. The initial acquisition price for the property was approximately $5.5 million and it is leased under a long-term triple-net lease. The Company has committed to fund additional investments in this winery and expects the total size of this investment to be approximately $12.5 million when complete.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed development of a megaplex theatre property located in Panama City, Florida. The Grand 16 Theatre at Pier Park is operated by Southern Theatres and was completed for a total development cost (including land and building) of approximately $17.6 million. This theatre is leased under a long-term triple-net lease.
Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company sold a parcel that included two leased properties adjacent to the Company’s megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida and the related development rights to a developer group for $7.7 million. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $3.2 million and recognized development fees of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007. For further detail on this disposition, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
12. Issuance of Series D Preferred Shares
On May 25, 2007, the Company issued 4.6 million 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Series D Preferred Shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million, after expenses. The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears, and are first payable on July 16, 2007 with a pro-rated quarterly payment of $0.1844 per share. The Company may not redeem the Series D Preferred Shares before May 25, 2012, except in limited circumstances to preserve the Company’s REIT status. On or after May 25, 2012, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series D Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the date of redemption. The Series D Preferred Shares generally have no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of the Company’s other securities. Owners of the Series

Table of Contents

D Preferred Shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. The net proceeds from this offering were used to redeem the Company’s 9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
13. Redemption of Series A Preferred Shares
On May 29, 2007, the Company completed the redemption of all 2.3 million outstanding 9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.39 per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of $0.59375 prorated through the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, the Company recognized both a non-cash charge representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 2002 and also other redemption related expenses. The aggregate reduction to net income available to common shareholders was approximately $2.1 million ($0.08 per fully diluted common share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
14. Derivative Instruments
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a cross currency swap with a notional value of $76.0 million Canadian dollars (CAD) and $71.5 million U.S. The swap calls for monthly exchanges from January 2008 through February 2014 with the Company paying CAD based on an annual rate of 17.16% of the notional amount and receiving U.S. dollars based on an annual rate of 17.4% of the notional amount. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. The Company had previously entered into forward contracts with monthly settlement dates ranging from July 2007 through December 2007. These contracts have a notional value of $6.5 million CAD and an average exchange rate of 1.15 CAD per U.S. dollar. The Company designated both the cross currency swap and the forward contracts as cash flow hedges.
Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a forward contract with a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. The Company designated this forward contract as a net investment hedge.

16. Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108)
In September 2006, the SEC released SAB 108. SAB 108 permitted the Company to adjust for the cumulative effect of errors relating to prior years previously considered to be immaterial by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. SAB 108 also required the adjustment of any prior quarterly financial statements within the fiscal year of adoption for the effects of such errors on the quarters when the information is next presented. Such adjustments did not require previously filed reports with the SEC to be amended.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SAB 108. In accordance with SAB 108, the Company increased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2006, and its rental revenue and net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 for the recognition of straight-line rental revenues and net receivables as further described below. SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” requires rental income that is fixed and determinable to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the lease. Certain leases executed or acquired between 1998 and 2003 contain rental income provisions that are fixed and determinable yet straight line revenue recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 13 was not applied. Accordingly, the implementation of SAB 108 corrects the revenue recognition related to such leases. The impact of this adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 is summarized below (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

17. Other Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had three theatre development projects under construction for which it has agreed to finance the development costs. These theatres are expected to have a total of 44 screens and their development costs (including land) are expected to be approximately $35.3 million. Through June 30, 2007, the Company has invested $9.9 million in these projects (including land), and has commitments to fund approximately $25.4 million of additional improvements. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, the Company can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the theatres to the operators at pre-determined rates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants and other matters, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Forward Looking Statements.” Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007.
Overview
Our principal business objective is to be the nation’s leading destination entertainment, entertainment-related, recreation and specialty real estate company by continuing to develop, acquire or finance high-quality properties. As of June 30, 2007, we had invested approximately $1.8 billion (before accumulated depreciation) in 77 megaplex theatre properties and various restaurant, retail, entertainment, destination recreational and specialty properties located in 25 states and Ontario, Canada. As of June 30, 2007, we had invested approximately $24.9 million in development land and construction in progress for real-estate development. Also, as of June 30, 2007, we had invested approximately US $253.1 million (including accrued interest) in mortgage financing for entertainment, recreation and specialty properties.
Substantially all of our single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple-net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of a property, including, but not limited to, all real estate taxes, assessments and other governmental charges, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance. A majority of our revenues are derived from rents received or accrued under long-term, triple-net leases. Tenants at our multi-tenant properties are required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro rata portion of these costs.
We incur general and administrative expenses including compensation expense for our executive officers and other employees, professional fees and various expenses incurred in the process of identifying, evaluating, acquiring and financing additional properties and mortgage notes. We are self-administered and managed by our trustees and executive officers. Our primary non-cash expense is the depreciation of our properties. We depreciate buildings and improvements on our properties over a five-year to 40-year period for tax purposes and financial reporting purposes.
Our property acquisitions and development financing commitments are financed by cash from operations, borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, long-term mortgage debt and the sale of equity securities. It has been our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals paid by our tenants. We have primarily acquired or developed new properties that are pre-leased to a single tenant or multi-tenant properties that have a high occupancy rate. We do not typically develop or acquire properties on a speculative basis or that are not significantly pre-leased. As of June 30, 2007, we have also entered into four joint ventures formed to own and lease single properties, and have provided mortgage note financing as described above. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents

Our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease and financing terms, and managing our portfolio as we have continued to grow. Because of our emphasis on the entertainment and entertainment-related sector of the real estate industry and the knowledge and industry relationships of our management, we have enjoyed favorable opportunities to acquire, finance and lease properties. We believe those opportunities will continue during the remainder of 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to consolidation, revenue recognition, depreciable lives of the real estate, the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions and estimating reserves for uncollectible receivables. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation
We consolidate certain entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE), as defined in FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FIN46R). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which we are not the primary beneficiary as defined in FIN46R, or do not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.
Revenue Recognition
Rents that are fixed and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum terms of the leases. Base rent escalation in other leases is dependent upon increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and accordingly, management does not include any future base rent escalation amounts on these leases in current revenue. Most of our leases provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant. These percentage rents are recognized once the required sales level is achieved. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.
Real Estate Useful Lives
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for the purpose of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, as follows:
     
Buildings
  40 years
Tenant improvements
  Base term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
  3 to 25 years

Table of Contents

Impairment of Real Estate Values
We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our rental properties. These estimates of impairment may have a direct impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We assess the carrying value of our rental properties whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may not be recoverable. Certain factors that may occur and indicate that impairments may exist include, but are not limited to: underperformance relative to projected future operating results, tenant difficulties and significant adverse industry or market economic trends. No such indicators existed during the first six months of 2007. If an indicator of possible impairment exists, a property is evaluated for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the property to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the property. If the carrying amount of a property exceeds its estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property. Management estimates fair value of our rental properties based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company. Management did not record any impairment charges for the first six months of 2007.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Upon acquisitions of real estate properties, we make subjective estimates of the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above and below market leases, in-place leases, tenant relationships and assumed financing that is determined to be above or below market terms) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.141, Business Combinations. We utilize methods similar to those used by independent appraisers in making these estimates. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management makes quarterly estimates of the collectibility of its accounts and notes receivable related to base rents, tenant escalations (straight-line rents) and reimbursements, interest income, note principal and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes trends in accounts and notes 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 Related Accrued Interest Receivable
Mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable consists solely of loans that we originated and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower and we defer certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortize them over the term of the related loan. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal for each loan to determine whether it is impaired. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is

26


Table of Contents

calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateralized. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis.
Recent Developments
Debt Financing
On February 21, 2007, we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $11.6 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Biloxi, Mississippi. The mortgage loan bears interest at 6.06%, matures on March 1, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $75 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of $9.0 million. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On March 23, 2007, we obtained a non-recourse mortgage loan of $11.9 million. This mortgage is secured by a theatre property located in Fresno, California. The mortgage loan bears interest at 6.07%, matures on April 6, 2017 and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $77 thousand with a final principal payment at maturity of $9.2 million. The net proceeds from this loan were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On April 18, 2007, we obtained three non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $20.3 million. Each of these mortgages are secured by a theatre property, bear interest at an interest rate of 5.95% per year, and mature on May 1, 2017. These mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments totaling $130 thousand with final principal payments at maturity totaling $15.8 million. The net proceeds from these loans were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
On April 19, 2007, we obtained two non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $34.7 million. Each of these mortgages are secured by a theatre property, bear interest at an interest rate of 5.73% per year, and mature on May 1, 2017. These mortgages require monthly principal and interest payments totaling $218 thousand with final principal payments at maturity totaling $26.7 million. The net proceeds from these loans were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Credit Facility
On April 18, 2007 we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment allows additional assets, subject to certain limitations, to be included in our borrowing base, and provides a more favorable valuation of our megaplex theatres and entertainment related retail assets in the calculation of the borrowing base and the leverage ratio. Additionally, the amendment relaxes the covenants that limit our investment in certain types of assets, raises our capacity to issue letters of credit and provides us with the flexibility to incur other unsecured recourse indebtedness, subject to certain limitations, beyond the unsecured revolving credit facility. The size, term and pricing of the unsecured revolving credit facility were not impacted by the amendment.
Issuance of Series D Preferred Shares
On May 25, 2007, we issued 4.6 million 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Series D Preferred Shares”) in a registered public offering for net proceeds of approximately $111.1 million, after expenses. We will pay cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.844 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears, and are first payable on July 16, 2007 with a pro-rated quarterly payment of $0.1844 per share. We may not redeem the Series D Preferred Shares before May 25, 2012, except in

limited circumstances to preserve our REIT status. On or after May 25, 2012, we may, at our option, redeem the Series D Preferred Shares in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by paying $25 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the date of redemption. The Series D Preferred Shares generally have no stated maturity, will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into any of our other securities. Owners of the Series D Preferred Shares generally have no voting rights, except under certain dividend defaults. The net proceeds from this offering were used to redeem our 9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Redemption of Series A Preferred Shares
On May 29, 2007, we completed the redemption of all 2.3 million of our outstanding 9.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. The shares were redeemed at a redemption price of $25.39 per share. This price is the sum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a quarterly dividend per share of $0.59375 prorated through the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption, we recognized both a non-cash charge representing the original issuance costs that were paid in 2002 and also other redemption related expenses. The aggregate reduction to net income available to common shareholders was approximately $2.1 million ($0.08 per fully diluted common share) in the second quarter of 2007.
Investments
On March 13, 2007, we entered into a secured first mortgage loan agreement for $93.0 million with SVV I, LLC for the development of a water-park anchored entertainment village. The secured property is approximately 368 acres of development land located in Kansas City, Kansas. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2007 was $84.3 million, including related accrued interest receivable of $609 thousand. This loan is guaranteed by the Schlitterbahn New Braunfels Group (Bad-Schloss, Inc., Waterpark Management, Inc., Golden Seal Investments, Inc., Liberty Partnership, Ltd., Henry Condo I, Ltd., and Henry-Walnut, Ltd.) and has a maturity date of March 12, 2008. Monthly interest payments are made to us and the unpaid principal balance bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%.
On April 4, 2007, we entered into two secured first mortgage loan agreements totaling $73.5 million with Peak Resorts, Inc. (“Peak”). We advanced $48.5 million during April of 2007 under these agreements. The loans are secured by two ski resorts located in Vermont and New Hampshire. Mount Snow is approximately 2,378 acres and is located in both West Dover and Wilmington, Vermont. Mount Attitash is approximately 1,250 acres and is located in Bartlett, New Hampshire. The carrying value of these mortgage notes at June 30, 2007 was $48.5 million with no related accrued interest receivable. The loans have a maturity date of April 3, 2027 and the unpaid principal balance initially bears interest at 10%. These notes currently require Peak to fund debt service reserves annually by April 30th for the amount of the upcoming year’s debt service. Monthly interest payments are transferred to the Company from these debt service reserves.
Additionally, on April 4, 2007, we entered into a third secured first mortgage loan agreement for $25.0 million with Peak for further development of Mount Snow. The loan is secured by approximately 696 acres of development land. We advanced the full amount of the loan during April of 2007. The carrying value of this mortgage note receivable at June 30, 2007 was $25.6 million, including related accrued interest receivable of $609 thousand. The loan has a maturity date of April 2, 2010 at which time the unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest is due. The unpaid principal balance bears interest at 10%.

On April 30, 2007, we purchased a 35 acre vineyard and winery facility in Hopland, California, and simultaneously leased this property to Rb Wine Associates, LLC. The initial acquisition price for the property was approximately $5.5 million and it is leased under a long-term triple-net lease. We have committed to fund additional investments in this winery and we expect the total size of our investment to be approximately $12.5 million when complete.
On May 8, 2007, we acquired 66.67% of the voting interests in White Plains Retail, LLC and White Plains Recreational, LLC, the entities which own the 390,000 square foot entertainment retail center known as City Center at White Plains, located in White Plains, New York. The project had existing debt of $119.7 million, and we invested cash of $30.9 million to complete the transaction. For additional description of this transaction and its FIN 46R implications, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we completed development of a megaplex theatre property located in Panama City, Florida. The Grand 16 Theatre at Pier Park is operated by Southern Theatres and was completed for a total development cost (including land and building) of approximately $17.6 million. This theatre is leased under a long-term triple-net lease.
Sale of Property
On June 7, 2007, we sold a parcel of land adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida and the related development rights to a developer group for $7.7 million. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $3.2 million and recognized development fees of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007. For further detail on this disposition, see Note 11 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Derivative Instruments
As further discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q, during the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company entered into a cross currency swap and a new forward contract. The cross currency swap has a notional amount of $76.0 million Canadian dollars (CAD) and $71.5 million U.S. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.05 CAD per U.S. dollar or approximately $13 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows. The new forward contract has a notional amount of $100 million CAD and a February 2014 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to three months ended June 30, 2006
Rental revenue was $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $44.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $1.0 million increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions and developments completed in 2006 and 2007 and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by the recognition of a lease termination fee of $4.0 million from our theatre in Hialeah, Florida during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Percentage rents of $0.6 million and $0.4 million were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Straight-line rents of $1.1 million and $1.0 million were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. These tenant reimbursements arise from the operations of our retail centers. Of the $0.8 million increase, $0.7 million is due to our May 8, 2007

acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York. The remaining increase is due to increases in other tenant reimbursements, primarily driven by the expansion and leasing of the gross leasable area at our retail centers in Ontario, Canada.
Other income was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease of $0.3 million is primarily due to a decrease in revenues from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September 2005 and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield, Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.
Mortgage financing interest for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.6 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and relates to the following:
    mortgage financing for the development of an entertainment retail center in Canada with an initial funding date in June of 2005
 
    mortgage financing for a ski resort located in New Hampshire provided in March of 2006
 
    mortgage financing for the development of a megaplex theatre in Louisiana provided with an initial funding date in November of 2006
 
    mortgage financing for the development of a water-park entertainment village in Kansas with an initial funding date in March of 2007
 
    mortgage financing for two ski resorts located in Vermont and New Hampshire with initial funding dates in April of 2007
Our property operating expense totaled $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. The increase of $0.8 million is primarily due to $0.7 million in property operating expense related to our May 8, 2007 acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York.
Other expense totaled $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $0.1 million decrease is primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in expense related to a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September of 2005, and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant. This decrease was partially offset by $0.3 million in expense recognized upon settlement of foreign currency forward contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease of $2.5 million is primarily due to $1.7 million in expense during the three months ended June 30, 2006 related to unvested share awards from prior years. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized expense of $1.4 million related to the retirement of one of our executives. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in costs that primarily resulted from payroll and related expenses attributable to increases in base and incentive compensation, additional employees and amortization resulting from grants of restricted shares to management.

Our net interest expense increased by $2.9 million to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase resulted from the acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York that had an outstanding mortgage debt of $119.7 million as of the May 8, 2007 acquisition date. The remainder of the increase resulted from increases in long-term debt used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our new mortgage notes receivable.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $1.3 million increase resulted primarily from our real estate acquisitions completed in 2006 and 2007.
Income from discontinued operations totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The $0.7 million increase is due to the recognition of $0.7 million in development fees related to a parcel adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida. The development rights, along with two income-producing tenancies, were sold to a developer group in June of 2007.
The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due to the sale of a parcel that included two leased properties adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida. There was no gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Preferred dividend requirements for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $5.2 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2006. The $2.3 million increase is due to the issuance of 5.4 million Series C preferred shares in December of 2006 and 4.6 million Series D preferred shares in May of 2007, partially offset by the redemption of 2.3 million Series A preferred shares in May of 2007.
The Series A preferred share redemption costs of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was due to the redemption of the Series A preferred shares on May 29, 2007 and primarily consists of a noncash charge for the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of these shares. There was no such expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to six months ended June 30, 2006
Rental revenue was $88.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $84.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $4.5 million increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions and developments completed in 2006 and 2007 and base rent increases on existing properties, partially offset by the recognition of a lease termination fee of $4.0 million from our theatre in Hialeah, Florida during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Percentage rents of $1.0 million and $0.9 million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Straight-line rents of $2.1 million and $1.8 million were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Our property operating expense totaled $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers. The increase of $0.6 million is primarily due to $0.7 million in property operating expense related to our May 8, 2007 acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York.
Other expense totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $0.5 million decrease is primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in expenses from a restaurant in Southfield, Michigan opened in September of 2005, and previously operated through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. The restaurant in Southfield Michigan was closed during the third quarter of 2006 and the space was leased to an unrelated restaurant tenant.

Costs associated with loan refinancing for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.7 million. These costs related to the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility and consisted of the write-off of $0.7 million of certain unamortized financing costs. No such costs were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our net interest expense increased by $2.7 million to $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase resulted from the acquisition of a 66.67% interest in the joint ventures that own an entertainment retail center in White Plains, New York that had outstanding mortgage debt of $119.7 million as of the May 8, 2007 acquisition date. The remainder of the increase resulted from increases in long-term debt used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our new mortgage notes receivable.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $2.2 million increase resulted primarily from real estate acquisitions completed in 2006 and 2007.
The gain on sale of land of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was due to the sale of an acre of land that was originally purchased along with one of our megaplex theatres. There was no such gain on sale of land recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Income from discontinued operations totaled $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The $0.4 million increase is due to the recognition of $0.7 million in development fees related to a parcel adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida. The development rights, along with two income-producing tenancies, were sold to a developer group in June of 2007. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulting from an insurance claim. As a result of the hurricane events of October 2005, one non triple-net retail property in Pompano Beach, Florida suffered significant damage to its roof. The insurance company reimbursed us for the replacement of the roof less our deductible in January 2006.
The gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was due to the sale of a parcel that included two leased properties adjacent to our megaplex theatre in Pompano, Florida.

Preferred dividend requirements for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $10.1 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2006. The $4.3 million increase is due to the issuance of 5.4 million Series C preferred shares in December of 2006 and 4.6 million Series D preferred shares in May of 2007, partially offset by the redemption of 2.3 million Series A preferred shares in May of 2007.
The Series A preferred share redemption costs of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was due to the redemption of the Series A preferred shares on May 29, 2007 and primarily consists of a noncash charge for the excess of the redemption value over the carrying value of these shares. There was no such expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $8.9 million at June 30, 2007. In addition, we had restricted cash of $11.7 million at June 30, 2007. Of the restricted cash at June 30, 2007, $3.7 million relates to cash held for our borrower’s debt service reserve for a mortgage note receivable and the balance represents deposits required in connection with debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.
Mortgage Debt and Credit Facilities
As of June 30, 2007, we had total debt outstanding of $980.1 million. As of June 30, 2007, $849.6 million of debt outstanding was fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a substantial portion of our rental properties, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.0%.
At June 30, 2007, we had $130.5 million in debt outstanding under our $235.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, with interest at a floating rate. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in January of 2009 and was recently amended (described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, entertainment-related, recreational and specialty properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with mortgage debt and the proceeds from equity offerings. Our unsecured revolving credit facility is also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. Continued growth of our rental property and mortgage financing portfolios will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings.
Capital Structure and Coverage Ratios
We believe that our shareholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet and solid interest, fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios. We expect to maintain our leverage ratio (i.e. total-long term debt of the Company as a percentage of shareholders’ equity plus total liabilities) below 55%. However, the timing and size of our equity offerings may cause us to temporarily operate over this threshold. At June 30, 2007, our leverage ratio was 50%. Our long-term debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at June 30, 2007 was 36%. We do not manage to a ratio based on total market capitalization due to the inherent variability that is driven by changes in the market price of our common shares. We calculate our total market capitalization of $2.7 billion as follows at June 30, 2007:
    Common shares outstanding of 26,666,763, multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $53.78 per share, or $1.4 billion;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series B preferred shares of $80 million;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C preferred shares of $135 million;
 
    Aggregate liquidation value of our Series D preferred shares of $115 million; and
 
    Total long-term debt of $980.1 million
Our interest coverage ratio for both the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 3.4 times. Interest coverage is calculated as the interest coverage amount (as calculated in the following table) divided by interest expense, gross (as calculated in the following table). We consider the interest

coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to meet its interest expense obligations. Our calculation of the interest coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP) liquidity measures.

Our fixed charge coverage ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 2.5 times and 2.8 times, respectively. The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that preferred share dividends are also added to the denominator. We consider the fixed charge coverage ratio to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a company’s ability to make its interest and preferred share dividend payments. Our calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. This information should not be considered as an alternative to any GAAP liquidity measures. The following table shows the calculation of our fixed charge coverage ratios (dollars in thousands):

Our debt service coverage ratio for both the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 2.6 times. The debt service coverage ratio is calculated in exactly the same manner as the interest coverage ratio, except that recurring principal payments are also added to the denominator.

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. Cash provided by operating activities was $57.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $55.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, and funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders and

avoidance of corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements for qualification as a REIT.
We had three theatre projects under construction at June 30, 2007. The properties have been pre-leased to the prospective tenants under long-term triple-net leases. The cost of development is paid by us in periodic draws. The related timing and amount of rental payments to be received by us from tenants under the leases correspond to the timing and amount of funding by us of the cost of development. These theatres will have a total of 44 screens and their total development costs (including land) will be approximately $35.3 million. Through June 30, 2007, we have invested $9.9 million in these projects (including land), and have commitments to fund an additional $25.4 million in improvements. We plan to fund development primarily with funds generated by debt financing and/or equity offerings. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue funding construction draws.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2007, we had a 20% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We do not anticipate any material impact on our liquidity as a result of any commitments that may arise involving those joint ventures. We recognized income of $244 and $228 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR I joint venture during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We also recognized income of $153 and $148 (in thousands) from our investment in the Atlantic-EPR II joint venture during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Condensed financial information for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II joint ventures is included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The joint venture agreements for Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II allow our partner, Atlantic of Hamburg, Germany (Atlantic), to exchange up to a maximum of 10% of its ownership interest per year in each of the joint ventures for our common shares or, at our discretion, the cash value of those shares as defined in each of the joint venture agreements.
Funds From Operations (FFO)
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO, as defined under the revised NAREIT definition and presented by us, is net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and it prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 was effective for us on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Where applicable, SFAS No. 157 simplifies and codifies related guidance within GAAP and does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses for that item are to be reported in current

38

earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the Company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. We also have a $235 million unsecured revolving credit facility that bears interest at a floating rate. This credit facility is used to acquire properties, finance our development commitments and provide mortgage financing.
We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to mortgages or contractual agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.
We have not engaged extensively in the use of derivatives to manage our interest rate and market risk due to our limited use of variable rate debt.
We financed the acquisition of our four Canadian properties with non-recourse fixed rate mortgage loans from a Canadian lender in the original aggregate principal amount of approximately U.S. $97 million. The loans were made and are payable by us in Canadian dollars (CAD), and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD. We also provided a secured mortgage construction loan totaling U.S. $50.2 million, $45.2 million of which plus the related interest income is payable to us in CAD.
We have partially mitigated the impact of foreign currency exchange risk on our Canadian properties by matching Canadian dollar debt financing with Canadian dollar rents. To further mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on the four Canadian properties, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts with monthly settlement dates ranging from July 2007 through December 2007. These contracts have a notional value of $6.5 million CAD and an average exchange rate of $1.15 CAD per U.S. dollar. Additionally, 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

39


Table of Contents

coincides with the maturity of our underlying mortgage on these four properties. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.04 CAD per U.S. dollar. This forward contract should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through February 2014 as the impact on accumulated other comprehensive income from marking the derivative to market should move in the opposite direction of the translation adjustment on the net assets of our four Canadian properties.
To further mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on the interest income from the CAD denominated mortgage receivable, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts with monthly settlement dates ranging from July 2007 through March 2008. These contracts have a notional value of $6.5 million CAD and an average exchange rate of $1.16 CAD per U.S. dollar. We have not yet hedged any of our net investment in the CAD denominated mortgage receivable or its expected CAD denominated interest income beyond March 2008 due to the mortgage note’s maturity in 2008 and our underlying option to buy a 50% interest in the borrower entity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second 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.
