PART I
Item 1. Business
General
EPR Properties (“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 primarily entertainment, education and recreation 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, 2015, our total assets exceeded $4.2 billion (after accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.5 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.
Our total investments were approximately $4.6 billion at December 31, 2015. Total investments is defined herein as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), 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, 2015 (in thousands):

Rental properties, net of accumulated depreciation | $ | 3,025,199 |
Add back accumulated depreciation on rental properties | 534,303 |
Land held for development | 23,610 |
Property under development | 378,920 |
Mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable, net | 423,780 |
Investment in a direct financing lease, net | 190,880 |
Investment in joint ventures | 6,168 |
Intangible assets, gross(1) | 20,715 |
Notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net(1) | 2,228 |
Total investments | $ | 4,605,803 |

(1) Included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Other assets includes the following:
Intangible assets, gross | $ | 20,715 |
Less: accumulated amortization on intangible assets | (12,079 | )
Notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net | 2,228 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 78,993 |
Total other assets | $ | 89,857 |

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. Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not a substitute for total assets under GAAP. It is most directly comparable to the GAAP measure, “Total assets”. Furthermore, total investments may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way the Company calculates this measure. Below is a reconciliation of total investments to “Total assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 (in thousands):
1

Total investments | $ | 4,605,803 |
Cash and cash equivalents | 4,283 |
Restricted cash | 10,578 |
Deferred financing costs, net | 4,894 |
Account receivable, net | 59,101 |
Less: accumulated depreciation on rental properties | (534,303 | )
Less: accumulated amortization on intangible assets | (12,079 | )
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 78,993 |
Total assets | $ | 4,217,270 |

For financial reporting purposes, we group our investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. Our total investments of approximately $4.6 billion at December 31, 2015 consisted of interests in the following:

• | $2.5 billion or 53% related to entertainment properties, which includes megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers (centers typically anchored by an entertainment component such as a megaplex theatre or live performance venue and containing other entertainment-related or retail properties), family entertainment centers and other retail parcels;

• | $1.0 billion or 22% related to education properties, which consists of investments in public charter schools, early education centers and K-12 private schools;

• | $943.3 million or 21% related to recreation properties, which includes metro ski parks and waterparks and golf entertainment complexes; and

• | $203.4 million or 4% related to other properties, which consists primarily of $200.9 million related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York (excluding $38.7 million related to the Adelaar indoor waterpark project included in recreation).

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, 2015, $33.7 million, or approximately 8% 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 represent approximately $169.7 million or 8% of the Company’s equity as of December 31, 2015.
We believe entertainment, education and recreation are highly enduring sectors of the real estate industry and that, as a result of our focus on properties in these sectors, industry relationships and the knowledge 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.
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.
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.

Entertainment
As of December 31, 2015, our Entertainment segment consisted of investments in megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers, family entertainment centers and other retail parcels totaling approximately $2.5 billion with interests in:

• | 131 megaplex theatre properties located in 34 states and Ontario, Canada;

• | nine entertainment retail centers (which include eight additional megaplex theatre properties and one live performance venue) located in Westminster, Colorado; New Rochelle, New York; Burbank, California; Suffolk, Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Ontario, Canada;

• | seven family entertainment centers located in Illinois, Indiana and Florida;

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

• | $23.6 million in construction in progress primarily for real estate development for two megaplex theatres and redevelopment of two of our existing megaplex theatres as well as eight other retail redevelopment projects; and

• | $4.5 million in undeveloped land inventory.

As of December 31, 2015, our owned real estate portfolio of megaplex theatre properties consisted of approximately 10.0 million square feet and was 100% leased and our remaining owned entertainment real estate portfolio consisted of 1.8 million square feet and was 87% leased. The combined owned entertainment real estate portfolio consisted of 11.8 million square feet and was 98% leased. Our owned theatre properties are leased to 15 different leading theatre operators. For the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 20% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC").
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 provide a significantly enhanced audio and visual experience for the patron versus other formats. Many theater operators continue to expand their food and beverage offerings, including the introduction of in-theatre dining options and alcohol availability. In addition, as exhibitors further increase their focus on enhancing the customer experience, more spacious and comfortable seating options are being introduced in some theatres, including fully reclining seats. The introduction of these seating options has required theatre operators to make physical changes to the existing seating arrangements that can result in a significant loss of existing seats. However, favorable customer response to these changes generally has significantly increased ticket sales and food and beverage revenue at impacted locations, overcoming the loss of seats and creating a net positive for the theatre operator.
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 this and other competitive pressures, in some cases we have, at the expiration of the primary term of a lease, reduced the rental rate per square foot and/or reduced the number of screens at a property to better reflect the existing market demands. Such screen reductions may occur in the future as well but these reductions do create an opportunity to reclaim a portion of the former theatre or parking lot for conversion to another use, while retaining the majority of the building for the 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.
The theatre box office had a very strong year in 2015 with increased attendance and revenues reaching an all-time high of over $11 billion per Box Office Analyst, and we expect the development of new megaplex theatres and the conversion or partial conversion of existing theatres to enhanced amenity formats to continue in the United States and abroad over the long-term. As a result of the significant capital commitment involved in building new megaplex theatres and redeveloping existing theatres, as well as the experience and industry relationships of our management, we believe we will continue to have opportunities to provide capital to exhibition businesses in the future.
We also 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
3

theatres to create entertainment retail centers (“ERCs”) not only strengthens the execution of the megaplex theatre but adds 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 ERCs that have demonstrated strong financial performance and meet our quality standards. The leasing and property management requirements of our ERCs are generally met through the use of third-party professional service providers.
Our family entertainment center operators offer a variety of entertainment options including live performance, bowling and bocce ball as well as an observation deck on the 94th floor of the John Hancock building in downtown Chicago, Illinois. We will continue to evaluate the development, purchase or financing of family entertainment centers.
We will continue to seek opportunities for the development of, or acquisition of, other entertainment related properties that leverage our expertise in this area.
Education
As of December 31, 2015, our Education segment consisted of investments in public charter schools, early education centers and K-12 private schools totaling approximately $1.0 billion with interests in:

• | 70 public charter school properties located in 18 states and the District of Columbia;

• | 18 early education centers located in six states;

• | two K-12 private schools located in New York and Illinois and one 5-12 private school located in California; and

• | $112.8 million in construction in progress for real estate development or expansion of 11 public charter schools, 14 early education centers and one K-12 private school.

As of December 31, 2015, our owned education real estate portfolio consisted of approximately 4.2 million square feet and was 100% leased. We have 39 different operators for our owned public charter schools. For the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 6% of our total revenue was derived from rental payments by Imagine.
Public charter schools are tuition-free, independent schools that are publicly funded by local, state and federal tax dollars based on enrollment. Driven by the need to improve the quality of public education and provide more school choices in the U.S., public charter schools are one of the fastest growing segments of the multi-billion dollar educational facilities sector, and we believe 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, authorizers 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 local, state and federal tax dollars. Like public schools, public charter schools are required to meet both state and federal academic standards.
Various government bodies that provide educational funding have pressure to reduce their spending budgets and have reduced educational funding in some cases and may continue to reduce educational funding 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.
Many of our public charter school lease and mortgage agreements contain purchase or prepayment options whereby the tenant can acquire the property or prepay the mortgage loan for a premium over the total development cost at certain points during the terms of the agreements. If these schools meet certain criteria, the tenants may be able to obtain bond financing at lower rates and therefore be motivated to exercise these options. We do not anticipate that all of these options will be exercised but cannot determine at this time the amount or timing of such option exercises. In accordance with GAAP, prepayment penalties related to mortgage agreements are included in mortgage and other financing income
4

and are included in FFO as adjusted (See Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Funds From Operations” for a discussion of FFO and FFO as adjusted, which are non-GAAP measures). However, if a tenant exercises the option to purchase a property under lease, GAAP requires that a gain on sale be recognized for the amount of cash received over the carrying value of the property and gains on sale are typically excluded from FFO as adjusted. Accordingly, for consistency in presentation and with the wording and intent of the lease provisions, we treat the premium over the total development cost (i.e. the undepreciated cost) as a termination fee and include such fees in FFO as adjusted, and only the difference between the total development cost and the carrying value is treated as gain on sale and excluded from FFO as adjusted. No such termination fees related to public charter school buy-outs have been recorded through December 31, 2015, but we anticipate recording such amounts beginning in 2016.
As of December 31, 2015, the number of properties potentially impacted by option exercises, the total development cost and the total estimated amount of the prepayment penalties or lease termination fees in the first option period by year are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Year Option First Exercisable |  | Number of Education Properties |  | Total Development Cost |  | Total Estimated Termination Fees/Prepayment Penalties in First Option Period |
2016 |  | 4 |  | $ | 39,906 |  |  | $ | 7,859 |  | (1)
2017 |  | 6 |  | 65,605 |  |  | 16,134 |  |
2018 |  | 9 |  | 84,793 |  |  | 15,540 |  |
2019 |  | 11 |  | 108,722 |  |  | 18,665 |  |
2020 |  | 10 |  | 72,462 |  |  | 11,939 |  |
Thereafter |  | 7 |  | 123,232 |  |  | 18,698 |  |
(1) Subsequent to December 31, 2015, a mortgage note was prepaid on January 5, 2016. In connection with the full payoff of this note, the Company received a prepayment penalty of $3.6 million.

As with public charter schools, the Company's expansion into both early childhood education centers and private schools is supported by strong unmet demand, and we expect to increase our investment in both of these areas.
Early childhood education centers continue to see demand due to the proliferation of dual income families and the increasing emphasis on early childhood education, beyond traditional daycare. There is increased demand for curriculum-based, child-centered learning. Within this property type, larger centers with more amenities are emerging and enjoying enhanced economies of scale. We believe this property type is a logical extension of our education platform and allows us to increase our diversity and geographical reach with these assets.
Within private schools, we believe K-12 private education has significant growth potential for schools that have differentiated, high quality offerings. Many private schools in large urban and suburban areas are at capacity and have large waiting lists making admission more difficult. The demand for nonsectarian private education has increased in recent years as parents and students become more focused on the comprehensive impact of a strong school environment.
During 2015, our Education segment was our fastest growing segment and we will continue to seek opportunities for the development of, or acquisition of, other education related properties that leverage our expertise in this area.
Recreation
As of December 31, 2015, our Recreation segment consisted of investments in metro ski parks, resorts, waterparks and golf entertainment complexes totaling approximately $943.3 million with interests in:

• | 10 metro ski parks located in Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia;

5

• | five waterparks located in Kansas, Texas and Pennsylvania;

• | 19 golf entertainment complexes in nine states; and

• | $59.5 million in construction in progress for three golf entertainment complexes and the development of an indoor waterpark hotel at the Adelaar casino and resort project located in Sullivan County, New York.

As of December 31, 2015, our owned recreation real estate portfolio was 100% leased.
Our metro ski parks are leased to or we have mortgages receivable from four different operators, the largest operator of which is Peak Resorts, Inc. ("Peak"). For the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately 3% of our total revenue related to Peak.
Our daily attendance ski park model provides a sustainable advantage for the value conscious consumer, providing outdoor entertainment during the winter. All of the ski parks that serve as collateral for our mortgage notes in this area, as well as our three owned properties, offer snowmaking capabilities and provide a variety of terrains and vertical drop options. We believe that the primary appeal of our ski parks lies in the convenient, low cost and reliable experience consumers can expect. Given that all of our ski parks are located near major metropolitan areas, they offer skiing and snowboarding without the expense, travel, or lengthy preparations of remote ski resorts. 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.
Our three waterparks located in Kansas and Texas offer innovative attractions that attract a diverse segment of customers. These waterparks serve as collateral for our mortgage notes and are operated by Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts, an industry leader. Our other two waterparks, located in Pennsylvania, are leased to the operator of Camelback Mountain Ski Resort and include an indoor waterpark hotel and an outdoor waterpark as well as an adventure park. We also have an indoor waterpark hotel in process at the Adelaar project in Sullivan County, New York. As many waterparks are growing from single-day attendance to a destination getaway, we believe indoor waterpark hotels increase the four-season appeal at many resorts. We will continue to pursue opportunities in this area.
Our golf entertainment complexes are leased to, or under mortgage with, Topgolf, which combines golf with entertainment, competition and food and beverage service. By combining an interactive entertainment and food and beverage experience with a long-lived recreational activity, we believe Topgolf provides an innovative, enjoyable and repeatable customer experience. We expect to continue to pursue opportunities related to golf entertainment complexes.
We will continue to seek opportunities for the development of, or acquisition of, other recreation related properties that leverage our expertise in this area.
Other
As of December 31, 2015, our Other segment consisted of investments totaling approximately $203.4 million with interests in:

• | $183.0 million in construction in progress for development of the casino, golf course, entertainment village and infrastructure related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York;

• | $17.9 million related to undeveloped land inventory at our Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York; and

• | $2.5 million in mortgage financing related to one sold winery property.

In December 2015, a subsidiary of Empire Resorts, Inc. ("Empire Resorts") was awarded a New York gaming license to operate the Montreign Resort Casino (the “Casino Project”), which will be located within our Adelaar project in Sullivan County, New York. The Adelaar project will initially consist of the Casino Project, an indoor waterpark hotel (the “Waterpark Project”), a redesigned golf course (the “Golf Course”) and an entertainment village, which will include retail, restaurant, shopping and entertainment (the “Entertainment Village”). Also in December 2015, we entered into 70-year ground leases (terminable by the lessee after 20 years) with subsidiaries of Empire Resorts for the three parcels
6

of land upon which the Casino Project, Golf Course and Entertainment Village are located and granted these entities a purchase option for parcels. The Company has committed to the build-to-suit development of the Waterpark Project to be leased to a waterpark operator, and the Company anticipates funding between $100.0 million to $120.0 million over the next three years. For additional information regarding this project, see Item 7 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Adelaar Casino and Resort Project in Sullivan County, New York.”
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our vision is to become the leading specialty REIT by focusing our unique knowledge and resources on select underserved real estate segments which provide the potential for outsized returns.
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, which is a non-GAAP measure). 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
Central to our growth is remaining focused on acquiring or developing properties in our primary investment segments: Entertainment, Education and Recreation. We may also pursue opportunities to provide mortgage financing for these investment segments in certain situations where this structure is more advantageous than owning the underlying real estate.
Our segment focus is consistent with our strategic organizational design which is structured around building centers of knowledge and strong operating competencies in each of our primary segments. Retention and building of this knowledge depth creates a competitive advantage allowing us to more quickly identify key market trends.
To this end, we will deliberately apply information and our ingenuity to identify properties which represent potential logical extensions within each of our segments, or potential future investment segments. As part of our strategic planning and portfolio management process we assess new opportunities against the following five key underwriting principles:
Inflection Opportunity

• | Specialty versus commodity real estate

• | New or emerging generation of real estate as a result of age, technology or change in consumer lifestyle or habits

Enduring Value

• | Underlying activity long-lived

• | Real estate that supports commercially successful activities

• | Outlook for business stable or growing

Excellent Execution

• | Best-of-class executions that create market-dominant properties

• | Sustainable customer demand within the category despite a potential change in tenancy

• | Tenants with a reliable track record of customer service and satisfaction

7

Attractive Economics

• | Initially accretive with escalating yield over time

• | Rent participation features which allow for participation in financial performance

• | Scalable depth of opportunity

• | Strong, stable rent coverage and the potential for cross default features

Advantageous Position

• | First mover advantage and/or dominant player in real estate ownership or financing

• | Preferred tenant or borrower relationship that provides access to sites and development projects

• | Data available to assess and monitor performance

Operating Strategies
Lease Risk Minimization
To avoid initial lease-up risks and produce a predictable income stream, we typically acquire or develop 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 or developed, and may continue to acquire or develop, multi-tenant properties we believe add shareholder value.
Lease Structure
We have structured our leasing arrangements to achieve a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rents 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.
Development and Redevelopment
We intend to continue developing properties and redeveloping existing 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 risks. In addition, to minimize overhead costs and to provide the greatest amount of flexibility, we generally outsource construction management to third-party firms.
We believe our build-to-suit development program is a competitive advantage. First, we believe our strong relationships with our tenants and developers drive new investment opportunities that are often exclusive to us, rather than bid broadly, and with our deep knowledge of their businesses, we believe we are a value-added partner in the underwriting of each new investment. Second, we offer financing from start to finish for a build-to-suit project such that there is no need for a tenant to seek separate construction and permanent financing, which we believe makes us a more attractive partner. Third, we are actively developing strong relationships with tenants in our select segments leading to multiple investments without strict investment portfolio allocations. Finally, multiple investments with the same tenant allows us in most cases to include cross-default provisions in our lease or financing contracts, meaning a default in an obligation to us at one location is a default under all obligations with that tenant.
8

We will also investigate opportunities to redevelop certain of our existing properties. We may redevelop properties in conjunction with a lease renewal or new tenant, or we may redevelop properties that have more earnings potential due to the redevelopment. Additionally, certain of our properties have excess land where we will proactively seek opportunities to further develop.
Tenant and Customer Relationships
We intend to continue developing and maintaining long-term working relationships with entertainment, education, recreation and other 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 entertainment, education, recreation and other 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.
Dispositions
We will consider property dispositions for reasons such as creating price awareness of a certain property type, opportunistically taking advantage of an above market offer or reducing exposure related to a certain tenant, property type or geographic area.
Capitalization Strategies
Debt and Equity Financing
Our debt to gross assets ratio (i.e. debt of the Company as a percentage of total assets plus accumulated depreciation) was 42% at December 31, 2015. 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 environment.
We rely primarily on an unsecured debt structure and expect to continue to pay off our existing secured debt. In the future, while we may obtain secured debt from time to time or assume secured debt financing obligations in acquisitions, we intend to issue primarily unsecured debt securities to satisfy our debt financing needs. We believe this strategy increases 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.
9

Payment of Regular Dividends
We began paying dividend distributions to our common shareholders on a monthly basis (as opposed to a quarterly basis) in the second quarter of 2013 and expect to continue to do so in the future. We expect to continue to pay dividend distributions to our preferred shareholders on a quarterly basis. Our Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series C preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 5.75%, our Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares (“Series E preferred shares”) have a dividend rate of 9.00% and our Series F cumulative redeemable preferred shares ("Series F preferred shares") have a dividend rate of 6.625%. Among the factors the Company’s board of trustees (“Board of Trustees”) considers in setting the common share dividend rate are the applicable REIT tax rules and regulations that apply to dividends, the Company’s results of operations, including FFO and FFO as adjusted 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, entertainment, education, recreation and other specialty properties as new properties are developed or become available for acquisition.
Employees
As of December 31, 2015, we had 49 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. The following discussion describes 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 “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks That May Impact Our Financial Condition or Performance
Global economic uncertainty and disruptions in the financial markets may impair our ability to refinance existing obligations or obtain new financing for acquisition or development of properties.
There continues to be global economic uncertainty, lower participation rates in the job market, and slow economic growth, and it is uncertain as to when and to what extent economic conditions will improve. There can be no assurances that the U.S. economy will improve or that a future recession will not occur. We rely in part on debt financing to finance
10

our investments and development. To the extent that turmoil in the financial markets returns or intensifies, it has the potential to adversely affect our ability to refinance our existing obligations as they mature or obtain new financing for acquisition or development of properties and adversely affect the value of our investments. If we are unable to refinance existing indebtedness on attractive terms at its maturity, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Uncertain economic conditions and disruptions in the financial markets could also result in a substantial decrease in the value of our investments, which could also make it more difficult to refinance existing obligations or obtain new financing.
Many of our customers, consisting of tenants and borrowers, operate in market segments that depend upon discretionary spending by consumers. Any reduction in discretionary spending by consumers within the market segments in which our customers or potential customers operate could adversely affect such customers' operations and, in turn, reduce the demand for our properties or financing solutions.
Most of our portfolio is leased to or financed with customers operating service or retail businesses on our property locations. Movie theatres, entertainment retail centers, recreation and entertainment venues, early childhood education centers, private K-12 schools, metro ski parks and waterparks represent some of the largest market investments in our portfolio; and AMC, Regal Cinemas, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. and Topgolf represented our largest customers for the year ended December 31, 2015. The success of most of these businesses depends on the willingness or ability of consumers to use their discretionary income to purchase our customers' products or services. A downturn in the economy could cause consumers to reduce their discretionary spending within the market segments in which our customers or potential customers operate, which could adversely affect such customers' operations and, in turn, reduce the demand for our properties or financing solutions.
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 shares.
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 a higher cost of capital 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 (the “Adelaar Project”), which is now the subject of ongoing litigation. We cannot predict the duration or outcome of this litigation. Prolonged litigation or an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Adelaar Project or our financial condition and results of operations.
In 2015, we entered into long-term, triple-net ground leases with subsidiaries of Empire Resorts, Inc. (“Empire Resorts” and, together with such subsidiaries, the “Empire Project Parties”) for three parcels of our land located in Sullivan County, New York, approximately 90 miles from New York City. The Empire Project Parties have agreed to develop and operate on the parcels a new resort casino (the “Montreign Resort Casino”), a redesigned golf course and an entertainment village. A prior proposed casino and resort developer from whom we acquired the Sullivan County property commenced litigation against us in 2011 regarding matters relating to our acquisition of the property and our relationship with Empire Resorts. The plaintiffs, who included the prior developer and certain of its affiliates, filed a total of three separate cases, each seeking significant monetary damages. In September 2013, a federal district court dismissed the complaint relating to some of this litigation. However, the court's dismissal of the related state claims was without prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs could further pursue such claims in state court, and the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal as well as a notice of appeal. The court denied the motion for reconsideration in November 2014, but the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in December 2014. In 2015, a state court dismissed the plaintiffs’ complaint in another case, which was affirmed on appeal. No resolution of the third case has been obtained at this time. 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 or resolving this litigation. In addition, if the outcome of the litigation is unfavorable to us, it could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The success of the Adelaar Project is largely dependent upon the successful development and operation of the Montreign Resort Casino, which requires the Empire Project Parties to comply with the terms of a gaming license, including investing or causing the investment of no less than approximately $854 million in the initial phase of the Adelaar Project. Empire Resorts has announced its intent to raise its portion of this investment through debt and equity financing. If Empire Resorts is unsuccessful in its efforts to raise such capital or the Empire Project Parties otherwise fail to satisfy the conditions of the gaming license, the Adelaar Project and Montreign Resort Casino may be indefinitely delayed or canceled, and if we are unable to identify suitable alternative uses for the property, this could lead to a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
On December 21, 2015, Montreign Operating Company, LLC (“Montreign”), a subsidiary of Empire Resorts, was awarded a license (a “Gaming Facility License”) by the New York State Gaming Commission to operate the Montreign Resort Casino, a key component of the Adelaar Project. The Gaming Facility License is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that Montreign invest, or cause to be invested, no less than $854 million in the initial phase of the Adelaar Project. In order to support its portion of this investment, consisting of the Montreign Resort Casino and the expenditures related to the development of the golf course and entertainment village that are part of the initial phase of the Adelaar Project, Empire Resorts has disclosed that it has obtained certain debt and equity financing commitments. For the debt portion of this financing, Empire Resorts has disclosed that it has obtained a commitment for a credit facility of up to a maximum of $545 million. Empire Resorts has disclosed that the credit facility is subject to various conditions precedent, including evidence of a $301 million equity investment in Empire Resorts, approximately $60 million of which Empire Resorts has disclosed that it has satisfied pursuant to a rights offering conducted in January 2015 and a credit for amounts previously invested in the project. Empire Resorts disclosed that it raised the remaining portion of its equity financing pursuant to a rights offering conducted in February 2016.
There can be no assurance that Empire Resorts will close its previously disclosed credit facility as a result of this equity financing or that Empire Resorts will obtain adequate financing for the project or otherwise comply with the financial or other conditions of the Gaming Facility License. In the event that Empire Resorts fails to obtain such financing or comply with the conditions of the Gaming Facility License, the Adelaar Project and Montreign Resort Casino may be indefinitely delayed or canceled, and there can be no assurance that a suitable alternate use for the property, whether involving gaming or otherwise, will be identified, which could result in a material adverse effect on our investment and on our financial condition and results of operations.
12

The offering of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds to finance the cost of construction of common infrastructure at the Adelaar Project may not be successful or we could overrun budgeted costs for such infrastructure construction.
We are responsible for the construction of the Adelaar Project common infrastructure, which is expected to be financed primarily through the issuance of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds. The debt service of these bonds is expected to be paid primarily through special assessments levied against the property held by the benefited users. There can be no assurance that the offering of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds will be successfully executed. If the bonds are not issued, we will not receive the proceeds of the bond offering as reimbursement of our expenditures and those amounts will be treated as an additional investment in the Adelaar Project (subject to a portion of those costs being proportionately reimbursed by our tenants) in which case our return on invested capital would be less than currently expected. In addition, there can be no assurance that the cost of construction of common infrastructure for the Adelaar Project will not exceed our budgeted amounts of approximately $90.0 million, subject to budget adjustments and related approvals. If so, such excess may not be included in the tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds and, to the extent they exceed certain negotiated caps, may not be proportionately recovered from our tenants.
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 our tenants 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 significant delays and 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.
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. 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
13

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.
The base term of some of our theatre leases are expiring 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 theatre leases are expiring. 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. There can be no assurances that motion picture distributors will continue to rely on theatres as the primary means of distributing first-run films, and motion picture distributors may in the future consider alternative film delivery methods. 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.
In addition, some of our theatre tenants have disclosed that they are subject to pending anti-trust investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and several states regarding such tenants' alleged anticompetitive practices, including seeking agreements with motion picture distributors for exclusive rights to releases in certain markets. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of such investigations or whether such investigations will materially adversely affect such tenants' operations and, in turn, their ability to perform under their leases.
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, 2015, approximately 20% 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
14

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 dividends 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.
Public charter schools are operated pursuant to charters granted by various state or other regulatory authorities and are dependent upon compliance with the terms of such charters in order to obtain funding from local, state and federal governments. 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 or revocation of a public 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 local, state and federal governments, 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.
Imagine, an operator of public charter schools, is a lessee of a substantial number of our public charter school properties. In the past, some of the Company's public charter school properties operated by Imagine have been subject to compliance audits or reviews that resulted in probationary actions and, in some cases, charter revocation. As of December 31, 2015, six of the Company's public charter school properties operated by Imagine have had their charters revoked. 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 under the lease.
Our master lease agreement with Imagine provides certain contractual protections designed to mitigate risk, such as risk arising from the revocation of a charter of one or more Imagine schools. 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. Imagine may, in substitution for such properties, sell to us public charter school properties that would otherwise comply with the lease agreement. Through December 31, 2015, Imagine has exercised this right with respect to six properties that suffered a charter revocation and such repurchases and substitutions have been completed. In addition, two schools of the six schools that have charters revoked at December 31, 2015, have been sub-leased by Imagine. However, with respect to other schools without charters for which Imagine is still paying rent, there is no guarantee that acceptable schools will be available for substitutions or that such substitutions or repurchases 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. If Imagine or any other operator is unable to provide adequate substitute collateral under its lease with us, and/or is unable to pay its obligations, we may be required to record an impairment loss or sell schools for less than their net book value.
We are subject to risks relating to provisions included in some of our leases or financing arrangements with charter school operators pursuant to which such operators have the option to purchase leased charter school properties or prepay notes relating to financed charter school properties.
Some of our leases or financing arrangements with charter school operators include provisions pursuant to which tenant operators may purchase leased charter school properties and mortgagor operators may prepay notes relating to financed
15

charter school properties, in each case, subject to option exercise payments or prepayment penalties. Some of these tenant or mortgagor operators may be able to obtain alternative financing on more economically favorable terms, in which case, such operators may choose to exercise their purchase option or prepayment right. If such operators exercise their purchase options or prepayment rights, we cannot provide any assurances that we would be able to redeploy the capital associated with these properties in other investments or that such investments would provide comparable returns, which could reduce our earnings going forward.
There are risks inherent in having indebtedness and the use of such indebtedness to fund acquisitions.
We currently use debt to fund portions of our operations and acquisitions. In a rising interest rate environment, the cost of our existing variable rate debt and any new 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 dividends.
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 pay dividends 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 dividends 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.
Some of our properties are subject to mortgages that 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 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, issuances of debt securities 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.

Our real estate investments are concentrated in entertainment, education and recreation 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, education and recreation 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, education and recreation 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, education and recreation 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, education and recreation 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.
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 distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries to service our debt and pay dividends to our shareholders. The creditors of these subsidiaries, and our direct creditors, are entitled to amounts payable to them before we pay any dividends to our shareholders.
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. In addition, our creditors, whether secured or unsecured, are entitled to amounts payable to them before we may pay any dividends to our shareholders. Thus, our ability to service our debt obligations and pay dividends to holders of our common and preferred shares depends on our subsidiaries' ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to pay distributions to us and our ability to satisfy our obligations to our direct creditors. Our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligations, other than guaranties of our debt, to make funds available to us.
17

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 shares.
We had 49 full-time employees as of December 31, 2015 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: Gregory K. Silvers, our President and Chief Executive Officer; Mark A. Peterson, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Morgan G. Earnest, our Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer; Craig L. Evans, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; Thomas B. Wright, III, our Senior Vice President - Human Resources and Administration; Michael L. Hirons, our Senior Vice President - Strategy & Asset Management and Tonya L. Mater; our Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. 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 shares.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer. Our service providers and our tenants and their business partners are exposed to similar risks.
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. Our service providers and our tenants and their business partners are exposed to similar risks and the occurrence of a security breach or other disruption with respect to their information technology and infrastructure could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and business.
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 rents and interest we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of the factors that affect the value of our real estate. 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.
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;

• | the threat of domestic terrorism or pandemic outbreaks, which could cause customers of our tenants to avoid public places where large crowds are in attendance, such as megaplex theatres or recreational properties operated by our tenants;

18

• | our ability to secure adequate insurance;

• | natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, which could exceed the aggregate limits of insurance coverage;

• | local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;

• | competition from other available space;

• | whether tenants and users such as customers of our tenants consider a property attractive;

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

• | whether we are able to pass some or all of any increased operating costs through to tenants;

• | how well we manage our properties;

• | fluctuations in interest rates;

• | changes in real estate taxes and other expenses;

• | changes in market rental rates;

• | the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals;

• | changes in taxation or zoning laws;

• | government regulation;

• | 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;

• | 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.

19

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 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, Charlotte, North Carolina 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.
Most of our properties 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.
20

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 pay dividends 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.

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 pay dividends 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 pay dividends 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 are payable 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
21

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 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 metro ski parks 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 and attracting visitors. 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.
We face risks associated with the development, redevelopment and expansion of properties and the acquisition of other real estate related companies.
We may develop, redevelop or expand new or existing properties or acquire other real estate related companies, and these activities are subject to various risks. We may not be successful in pursuing such development or acquisition opportunities. In addition, newly developed or redeveloped/expanded properties or newly acquired companies may not perform as well as expected. We are subject to other risks in connection with any such development or acquisition activities, including the following:

• | we may not succeed in in completing developments or consummating desired acquisitions on time;

• | we may face competition in pursuing development or acquisition opportunities, which could increase our costs;

• | we may face difficulties in integrating acquisitions, which may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert management's attention;

• | we may undertake developments or acquisitions in new markets or industries where we do not have the same level of market knowledge, which may expose us to unanticipated risks in those markets and industries to which we are unable to effectively respond, such as an inability to attract qualified personnel with knowledge of such markets and industries;

• | we may incur construction costs in connection with developments, which may be higher than projected, potentially making the project unfeasible or unprofitable;

• | we may be unable to obtain zoning, occupancy or other governmental approvals;

• | we may experience delays in receiving rental payments for developments that are not completed on time;

• | our developments or acquisitions may not be profitable;

• | we may need the consent of third parties such as anchor tenants, mortgage lenders and joint venture partners, and those consents may be withheld;

• | we may issue shares in connection with acquisitions resulting in dilution to our existing shareholders; and

22

• | we may assume debt or other liabilities in connection with acquisitions.

In addition, there is no assurance that planned third-party financing related to development and acquisition 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 development or acquisition opportunities that we have begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already incurred and have devoted management time to a matter not consummated. In some cases, we may agree to lease or other financing terms for a development project in advance of completing and funding the project, in which case we are exposed to the risk of an increase in our cost of capital during the interim period leading up to the funding, which can reduce, eliminate or result in a negative spread between our cost of capital and the payments we expect to receive from the project. 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. If a development or acquisition is unsuccessful, either because it is not meeting our expectations or was not completed according to our plans, we could lose our investment in the development or acquisition.
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 rate 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:

• | 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;

23

• | 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 and other compensation arrangements with our employees calling for severance compensation and vesting of equity compensation upon termination of employment upon a change in control or certain events of the officers' termination of service.

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, 2015, our Series C preferred shares are convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3758 common shares per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $66.52 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events). Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, our Series E preferred shares are convertible, at each of the holder's option, into our common shares at a conversion rate of 0.4573 common shares per $25.00 liquidation preference, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $54.67 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events). Under certain circumstances in connection with a change in control of our Company, holders of our Series F preferred shares may elect to convert some or all of their Series F preferred shares into a number of our common shares per Series F preferred share equal to the lesser of (a) the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the market value of our common shares or (b) 1.1008 shares. Depending upon the number of Series C, Series E and Series F preferred shares being converted at one time, a conversion of Series C, Series E and Series F preferred shares could be dilutive to or otherwise adversely affect the interests of holders of our common shares. In addition, we may issue a significant amount of equity securities in connection with acquisitions or investments with or without seeking shareholder approval, which could result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
24

Future offerings of debt or equity securities, which may rank senior to our common shares, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
If we decide to issue debt securities in the future, which would rank senior to our common shares, it is likely that they will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any equity securities or convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common shares and may result in dilution to owners of our common shares. We and, indirectly, our shareholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our common shares will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common shares and diluting the value of their shareholdings in us.
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 entering 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 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.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the market price of our shares.
At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be changed, possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, 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. We cannot predict if or when any new U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective or whether any such law, regulation or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our shareholders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation. Furthermore, any proposals seeking broader reform of U.S. federal income tax laws, 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.

Office Location
Our executive office is located in Kansas City, Missouri and is leased from a third-party landlord. The office occupies approximately 39 thousand square feet with projected 2016 annual rent of approximately $594 thousand. The lease is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026, with two separate 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 minimum rentals of approximately $364.8 million (not including periodic rent escalations, percentage rent or straight-line rent). Our entertainment portfolio has an average remaining base term life of approximately nine years, our education portfolio has an average remaining base term life of approximately 18 years and our recreation portfolio has an average remaining base term life of approximately 19 years. These leases may be extended for predetermined extension terms at the option of the tenant. Our 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.
Property Acquisitions and Developments in 2015
Our property acquisitions and developments in 2015 consisted primarily of spending in each of our primary segments of Entertainment, Education and Recreation. The percentage of total investment spending related to build-to-suit projects, including investment spending for mortgage notes, increased to approximately 81% in 2015 from approximately 73% in 2014, and we expect this trend toward more build-to-suit projects to continue in 2016. Many of our build-to-suit opportunities come to us from our existing strong relationships with property operators and developers.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On June 7, 2011, affiliates of Louis Cappelli, 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 two subsidiaries of the Company seeking (i) a declaratory judgment concerning the Company's obligations under a previously disclosed settlement agreement involving these entities, (ii) an order that the Company execute the golf course lease and the “Racino Parcel” lease subject to the settlement agreement, and (iii) an extension of the restrictive covenant against ownership or operation of a casino on the Adelaar resort property under the settlement agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant”), which covenant was set to expire on December 31, 2011. The Company filed counterclaims seeking related relief. The Cappelli Group subsequently obtained leave to discontinue its claims, but the counterclaims remained pending. On June 30, 2014, the Court (i) denied the Cappelli Group’s motion to dismiss the counterclaims, (ii) granted the Company's motion for summary judgment finding that the Cappelli Group missed the December 31, 2011 deadline to fully execute a master credit agreement which was a condition to the Company’s obligation to continue its joint development activities with the Cappelli Group under the settlement agreement, (iii) granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment finding that the Restrictive Covenant had expired, and (iv) granted the Company’s motion for declaratory relief declaring the Company as master developer of the Adelaar resort property. The Cappelli Group perfected its appeal of the summary judgment decision in the Appellate Division, Third Department on December 30, 2014. On July 30, 2015, the Appellate Division, Third Department affirmed the lower court’s decision granting summary judgment in favor of the Company. On August 27, 2015, the Cappelli Group filed a motion in the Appellate Division for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. On November 23, 2015, the Cappelli Group’s motion for leave to appeal the summary judgment decision was denied. As a result, this case is now closed.
On October 20, 2011, the Cappelli Group also filed suit against the Company and two affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester, asserting a claim for breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith, and seeking damages of at least $800 million, based on the same allegations as in the action the Cappelli Group filed in Sullivan County Supreme Court. The Company has moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Westchester County based on the Sullivan County Supreme Court’s June 30, 2014 decision (which has now been affirmed). On January 26, 2016, the Supreme Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss but ordered the Cappelli Group to amend its pleading and remove all claims and allegations previously determined by the Third Department (discussed above). On February 18, 2016, the Cappelli Group revised their amended complaint, which the Company believes remains deficient.

On September 18, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) dismissed the complaint filed by Concord Associates L.P. and six other companies affiliated with Mr. Cappelli against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively, “Empire”), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively, “Genting”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort destination in Sullivan County, New York. The plaintiffs are seeking $500 million in damages (trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. The District Court dismissed plaintiffs’ federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. On October 2, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, and soon after filed a Notice of Appeal. The District Court denied the motion for reconsideration in an Opinion and Order dated November 3, 2014, and the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the Second Circuit on or about December 17, 2014. Oral arguments by the parties regarding the appeal were presented on April 29, 2015.
The Company has not determined that losses related to these matters are probable. Because of the favorable rulings described above, and the pending or potential appeals, together with the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation generally, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to these matters. The Company’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause the Company to change those estimates and assumptions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli Group and its affiliates, for which the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the claims and related litigation.

We declared dividends to common shareholders aggregating $3.63 and $3.42 per common share in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
While we intend to continue paying regular 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. We began paying dividends to our common shareholders on a monthly rather than quarterly basis beginning in May 2013 and expect to continue to pay such dividends monthly. We expect to continue to pay dividends to our preferred shareholders on a quarterly basis. 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 E preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 9.00% and our Series F preferred shares have a fixed dividend rate of 6.625%.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not sell any unregistered equity securities.
On February 23, 2016, there were approximately 893 holders of record of our outstanding common shares.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and in Item 1A - “Risk Factors.”
Overview
Business
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. Our investment portfolio includes ownership of and long-term mortgages on entertainment, education and recreation properties. Substantially all of our owned single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple-net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of the property. Tenants at our owned multi-tenant properties are typically required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro-rata portion of these costs.
It has been our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals or interest 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 have also entered into certain joint ventures and we have provided mortgage note financing. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future.
Historically, our primary challenges have been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms (on new or existing properties), 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. Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this report.
As of December 31, 2015, our total assets were approximately $4.2 billion (after accumulated depreciation of approximately $0.5 billion) which included investments in each of our four operating segments with properties located in 37 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada.

• | Our Entertainment segment included investments in 131 megaplex theatre properties, nine entertainment retail centers (which include eight additional megaplex theatre properties and one live performance venue) and seven family entertainment centers. Our portfolio of owned entertainment properties consisted of 11.8 million square feet and was 98% leased, including megaplex theatres that were 100% leased.

• | Our Education segment included investments in 70 public charter school properties, 18 early education centers and three private schools. Our portfolio of owned education properties consisted of 4.2 million square feet and was 100% leased.

• | Our Recreation segment included investments in 10 metro ski parks, five waterparks and 19 golf entertainment complexes. Our portfolio of owned recreation properties was 100% leased.

• | Our Other segment consisted primarily of the property under development and land held for development related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York.

The combined owned portfolio consisted of 18.3 million square feet and was 99% leased. As of December 31, 2015, we also had invested approximately $378.9 million in property under development.

Year ended December 31, 2015

• | Our total revenue, net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015 were favorably impacted from the capitalization of interest expense related to the Adelaar casino and resort project of $8.7 million, by the results of investment spending in 2014 and 2015 and lower financing rates.

• | Our total revenue, net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015 were unfavorably impacted by the sale of four public charter schools in April 2014 and the payoff of various mortgage notes due from Peak Resorts, Inc. ("Peak") in December 2014, as well as a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.

• | Our net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 was favorably impacted by net gains from property dispositions of $23.8 million and unfavorably impacted by retirement severance expense of $18.6 million related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer and higher transaction costs.

• | Our net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015 was favorably impacted by lower income tax expense related to our Canadian operations and was unfavorably impacted by higher general and administrative costs.

Year ended December 31, 2014

• | Our total revenue, net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014 were favorably impacted by the results of investment spending in 2013 and 2014, a $5.0 million prepayment fee, lower financing rates and lower bad debt expense.

• | Our total revenue, net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014 were unfavorably impacted by the sale of four public charter schools in April 2014 and and the payoff of various mortgage notes due from Peak in December 2014.

• | Our net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2014 was favorably impacted by a $3.4 million reversal of a liability that was established related to the acquisition of Toronto Dundas Square (now sold), as well as gains from property dispositions of $1.4 million, and was unfavorably impacted by a $3.8 million provision for loan loss.

• | Our net income available to common shareholders and FFOAA per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014 were unfavorably impacted by higher general and administrative costs, as well as higher income tax expense related to our Canadian operations.

• | Our per share results for the year ended December 31, 2014 were also unfavorably impacted by lower average leverage (measured by debt to gross assets) than in the prior year.

FFOAA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the definitions and further details on the calculations of FFOAA and certain other non-GAAP financial measures, see the section below titled "Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations As Adjusted (FFOAA) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)."

Investment Spending Overview
During 2015, our total investment spending of $632.0 million was a slight increase over our investment spending in 2014 with increases coming in our Education and Recreation segments, and offset by a decrease in our Entertainment segment.
During 2015, our investment spending in our Entertainment segment was $106.1 million compared to $170.8 million in the prior year. The prior year included an acquisition of an 11 theatre portfolio for approximately $118 million. We continued to have build-to-suit opportunities available for megaplex theatres at attractive terms with both existing and new tenants. Additionally, many megaplex theatre operators are expanding their food and beverage options and are now including in-theatre dining options, luxury seating and alcohol availability. This trend is expected to continue to provide build-to-suit opportunities for us in the future as well. In addition, we continue to diversify our tenant base in the Entertainment segment. Over the last five years, revenue from our largest tenant, American Multi-Cinema, Inc., have decreased from 36% of our total revenue to 20% of our total revenue.
During 2015, our investment spending in our Education segment was $272.9 million compared to $225.0 million in the prior year, and included build-to-suit public charter schools, early childhood education centers and private schools. We continued to establish our position as a leading owner of public charter school real estate and expect this momentum to continue into 2016. We continued to diversify our tenant base, and as of year-end, we had 39 different public charter school operators and we expect to continue to expand this number in 2016. In addition, over the last five years, revenue from Imagine Schools, Inc. have decreased from 8% of our total revenue to 5% of our total revenue. During 2015, we increased our investments in early childhood education centers and private schools and expect to continue to do so in the future. Due to demand for quality education facilities, Education was our fastest growing segment in 2015 and we expect that demand to continue.
During 2015, our investment spending in our Recreation segment was $241.2 million compared to $212.2 million in the prior year, and primarily related to golf entertainment complexes as well as the funding of the waterpark hotel at Camelback Mountain Ski Resort, additional improvements at our Kansas City, Kansas waterpark and the acquisition of one ski resort located in Wintergreen, Virginia. We plan to continue to seek attractive investments and new opportunities in this segment in 2016.
During 2015, our investment spending in our Other segment was $11.8 million and related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York. This project is further discussed below under “Recent Developments".
Capitalization Strategies
Our property acquisitions and financing commitments are financed by cash from operations, borrowings under our combined unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility, long-term mortgage debt, the sale of debt and equity securities and the periodic sale of properties. During the past several years, we have taken significant steps to implement our strategy of migrating to an unsecured debt structure and maintaining significant liquidity by issuing $1.2 billion of unsecured notes and paying off secured debt. During 2015, we amended, restated and combined our unsecured revolving credit and term loan facilities. These amendments increased the capacity of this facility to a combined $1.0 billion with a $1.0 billion accordion feature that increases the maximum borrowing amount, subject to lender approval, from $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion, as well as allowing for reductions in interest rate spread and facility fee pricing. Having enhanced our liquidity position, strengthened our balance sheet and continued our access to the unsecured debt markets, we believe we are better positioned to aggressively pursue investments, acquisitions and financing opportunities that may become available to us from time to time.
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 Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan. We may also issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions. 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to consolidation, revenue recognition, depreciable lives of the real estate, the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions, estimating reserves for uncollectible receivables and the accounting for mortgage and other notes receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
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. 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 expected 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 |  | 30 to 40 years
Tenant improvements |  | Base term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |  | 3 to 25 years

46

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, a property that is held and used by the Company 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. For assets and asset groups that are held for sale, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the property, less costs to sell, to the asset (group) carrying value. 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 acquisition of real estate properties, we determine if the acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, we account for (1) acquired vacant properties, (2) acquired single tenant properties when a new lease or leases are signed at the time of acquisition, and (3) acquired single tenant properties that have an existing long-term triple-net lease or leases (greater than 7 years) as asset acquisitions. Acquisitions of properties with shorter-term leases or properties with multiple tenants that require business related activities to manage and maintain the properties (i.e. those properties that involve a process) are treated as business combinations.
Costs incurred for asset acquisitions and development properties, including transaction costs, are capitalized. For asset acquisitions, we allocate the purchase price and other related costs incurred to the real estate assets acquired based on recent independent appraisals or methods similar to those used by independent appraisers and management judgment.
If the acquisition is determined to be a business combination, 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 addition, acquisition-related costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred.
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
47

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 March 6, 2015, we prepaid in full a mortgage note payable of $30.4 million which was secured by one entertainment retail center.
On March 16, 2015, we issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due on April 1, 2025 pursuant to an underwritten public offering. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50%. Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on October 1, 2015 until the stated maturity date of April 1, 2025. The notes were issued at 99.638% of their face value and are unsecured and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries.
On April 24, 2015, we amended, restated and combined our unsecured revolving credit and term loan facilities.
The amendments to the unsecured revolving portion of the new credit facility, among other things, (i) increase the initial amount from $535.0 million to $650.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date from July 23, 2017, to April 24, 2019 (with us having the same right as before to extend the loan for one additional year, subject to certain terms and conditions) and (iii) lower the interest rate and facility fee pricing based on a grid related to our senior unsecured credit ratings which at closing was LIBOR plus 1.25% and 0.25%, respectively.

The amendments to the unsecured term loan portion of the new facility, among other things, (i) increase the initial amount from $285.0 million to $350.0 million, (ii) extend the maturity date from July 23, 2018, to April 24, 2020 and (iii) lower the interest rate at all senior unsecured credit rating tiers which was LIBOR plus 1.40% at closing. On July 24, 2015, we borrowed the remaining $65.0 million available on the $350.0 million term loan portion of the facility, which was used to pay down a portion of our unsecured revolving credit facility. In addition, on August 12, 2015, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 2.94% on an additional $60.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from September 8, 2015 to July 5, 2017 and on $300.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019.
In addition, there is a $1.0 billion accordion feature on the combined unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility that increases the maximum borrowing amount available under the combined facility, subject to lender approval, from $1.0 billion to $2.0 billion.
On July 31, 2015, we prepaid in full a mortgage note payable of $4.8 million which was secured by one theatre property. Additionally, on August 6, 2015, we prepaid in full six mortgage notes payable totaling $61.5 million which were secured by six theatre properties.

The above amounts include $171 thousand and $186 thousand in capitalized payroll, $18.5 million and $7.4 million in capitalized interest and $2.3 million and $1.9 million in capitalized other general and administrative direct project costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, we had $2.9 million and $7.7 million of maintenance capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Property Dispositions
On January 27, 2015, we completed the sale of a theatre located in Los Angeles, California for net proceeds of $42.7 million and recognized a gain on sale of $23.7 million. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2015, we sold a land parcel adjacent to one of our public charter school investments for net proceeds of $1.1 million and recognized a gain of $0.2 million, and two land parcels adjacent to our megaplex theatre properties for net proceeds of $2.9 million and recognized a loss of $0.1 million.
On May 21, 2015, we completed the sale of one public charter school property located in Pennsylvania and previously leased under a direct financing lease to Imagine for net proceeds of $4.7 million. There was no gain or loss recognized on this sale.
Mortgage Notes Receivable
On October 13, 2015, we received a partial pay-down of $45.0 million on two of our mortgage notes receivable related to Schlitterbahn waterparks. Per the terms of the mortgage notes receivable, half of this amount paid back advances plus accrued interest and the other half, or approximately $22.5 million, further reduced the note balance but had no impact on the interest income we were previously receiving. The proceeds from the mortgage notes receivable partial pay-down were used to further reduce the balance outstanding on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Subsequent to December 31, 2015, we received prepayment on one mortgage note receivable that was secured by a public charter school located in Washington D.C. In connection with the full payoff of this note, we received a prepayment fee of $3.6 million. Additionally, subsequent to December 31, 2015, we amended and restated our mortgage note receivable that is secured by the North Carolina Music Factory located in Charlotte, North Carolina and funded an additional $21.8 million.
Imagine Schools
As of December 31, 2015, we have 15 schools that are occupied and operated by Imagine, two schools that have been subleased by Imagine, and four schools that remain non-operational. For those remaining non-operational schools, Imagine continues to seek further opportunities for sale or sublease. Imagine remains responsible for payments on all 21 properties under the master lease and was current as of December 31, 2015. We do not anticipate any delay in future payments under the master lease, and as additional credit support, we continue to hold a $9.0 million letter of credit from Imagine and require them to maintain a $7.9 million escrow reserve.
Adelaar Casino and Resort Project in Sullivan County, New York
On December 21, 2015, a subsidiary of Empire Resorts, Inc. was awarded a license (a “Gaming Facility License”) by the New York State Gaming Commission to operate the Montreign Resort Casino (the “Casino Project”), which will be located within our Adelaar project in Sullivan County, New York, approximately 90 miles from New York City. The Gaming Facility License will be effective on the earlier of March 1, 2016, or upon payment of certain required financial commitments (the “License Award Effective Date”).
The Adelaar project will initially consist of the Casino Project, an indoor waterpark hotel (the “Waterpark Project”), a redesigned golf course (the “Golf Course”) and an entertainment village, which will include retail, restaurant, shopping and entertainment (the “Entertainment Village”). Subsidiaries of Empire Resorts, Inc. (the “Empire Project Parties”) will be responsible for the construction and development of the Casino Project, Golf Course and Entertainment Village, and have agreed to invest a minimum of $611.0 million, $15.0 million and $25.0 million in the development and construction of the Casino Project, the Golf Course and the Entertainment Village, respectively. The Casino Project will include a casino of approximately 90,000 square feet with approximately 2,150 slot machines and 102 table games, a poker room with 14 to 16 tables and a private VIP gaming area with a lounge and reception area. It will also include a hotel with approximately 332 luxury rooms. The Adelaar project also includes approximately 600 acres of developable
50

land. It is expected that the Casino Project will open by March 1, 2018 and the Golf Course, Entertainment Village and Waterpark Project are expected to begin opening by September 1, 2018 but no later than March 1, 2019.
On December 28, 2015, we entered into long-term, triple-net ground leases with the Empire Project Parties for the three parcels of land upon which the Casino Project, Golf Course and Entertainment Village are located. Pursuant to the ground leases, we will receive the following rent:
Casino Project:
•Prior to License Award Effective Date, $500 thousand per month;

• | For the 12 months following the License Award Effective Date, the expected commencement date for the lease, $667 thousand per month, which is satisfied by option payments we have previously received thorough December 31, 2015;

• | For the 18 months following the first anniversary of the License Award Effective Date, $1.0 million per month; and

• | Thereafter, minimum rent of $7.5 million per year, plus percentage rent equal to 5.0% of eligible gaming revenue (as defined in the Casino Project lease) above $150.0 million. In addition, every five years of the lease term, the minimum rent will be increased by 8.0%.

Golf Course and Entertainment Village:

• | For each ground lease, rent becomes payable upon opening, and for each we will receive annual rent of $150,000 for the first 10 years, increasing to $250,000 thereafter.

The Empire Project Parties have an option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the property subject to the ground leases for a purchase price of $175.0 million ($200.0 million after the sixth anniversary of the License Award Effective Date), less a credit of up to $25.0 million for certain previous payments made by the Empire Project Parties.
The Waterpark Project is expected to consist of a 300-room hotel, a 75,000 square foot indoor waterpark, a family entertainment center, an adventure park and a conference center. We have committed to the Empire Project Parties to cause the construction of the Waterpark Project with a minimum capital investment of $120.0 million. The Waterpark Project will be leased to the waterpark operator pursuant to a triple-net lease with an initial term of 20 years from the completion date.
We are also responsible for the construction of the Adelaar project’s common infrastructure, which is expected to be financed primarily through the issuance of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds and currently budgeted at approximately $90.0 million, subject to budget adjustments and related approvals. The debt service related to these bonds is expected to be paid primarily through special assessments levied against the property held by the benefited users.
As further described in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Adelaar casino and resort project is the subject of ongoing litigation for which we believe we have meritorious defenses.
Chief Executive Officer Retirement
On February 24, 2015, we announced that David Brain, our then President and Chief Executive Officer, was retiring from the Company. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Brain and the Company entered into a Retirement Agreement pursuant to which he agreed to retire on March 31, 2015 in consideration for certain retirement severance benefits substantially equal to those benefits that would be payable to him under his employment agreement if he were terminated without cause. As a result, we recorded retirement severance expense (including share-based compensation costs) during the year ended December 31, 2015 of $18.6 million which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2015 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Retirement severance expense includes a cash payment of $11.8 million, $5.0 million for the accelerated vesting of 113,900 nonvested shares, $1.4 million for the accelerated vesting of 101,640 share options and $0.4 million of related taxes and other expenses.

Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2015 compared to year ended December 31, 2014
Rental revenue was $330.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $286.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Rental revenue increased $44.2 million from the prior period, of which $50.7 million was related to acquisitions or build-to-suit projects completed in 2015 and 2014 and was partially offset by a net decrease of $6.5 million in rental revenue on existing and sold properties and by the impact of a weaker Canadian exchange rate. Percentage rents of $3.0 million and $2.0 million were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Straight-line rents of $12.2 million and $8.7 million were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we experienced an increase of approximately 4.8% in rental rates on approximately 431,000 square feet with respect to five lease renewals. Additionally, we have funded or have agreed to fund a weighted average of $16.47 per square foot in tenant improvements. There were no leasing commissions related to these renewals.
Tenant reimbursements totaled $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These tenant reimbursements related to the operations of our entertainment retail centers. The $1.4 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.
Other income was $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The $2.6 million increase was due to an increase of $1.7 million in income recognized upon settlement of foreign currency swap contracts as well as $1.0 million recognized in fee income during the year ended December 31, 2015.
Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $70.2 million compared to $79.7 million for the year ended year ended December 31, 2014. The $9.5 million decrease was due primarily to a $5.0 million prepayment fee we received on December 2, 2014 in conjunction with the full and partial repayment of four mortgage notes receivable and the sale of four public charter school properties in April of 2014 which were classified as a direct financing lease. This amount was partially offset by increased real estate lending activities. Additionally, we recognized participating interest income of $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Our property operating expense totaled $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers and other specialty properties. The $1.5 million decrease resulted primarily from the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate and a decrease in other non-recoverable expenses at these properties. This amount was partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $31.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase of $3.4 million is primarily due to an increase in payroll and benefits costs, as well as certain professional fees.
Retirement severance expense was $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and related to the retirement of our former President and Chief Executive Officer. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report Form 10-K for further detail. There was no retirement severance expense for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Our net interest expense decreased by $1.4 million to $79.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This decrease resulted from an increase in interest cost capitalized primarily related to the Adelaar casino and resort project which was $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2014, as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rate used
52

to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in average borrowings.
Transaction costs totaled $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase of $5.0 million was due to an increase in potential and terminated transactions.
Provision for loan loss was $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to one note receivable. There was no provision for loan loss for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $89.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $66.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The $22.9 million increase resulted primarily from asset acquisitions completed in 2015 and 2014 as well as the acceleration of depreciation on certain existing assets.
Equity in income from joint ventures was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The $0.3 million decrease resulted from a decrease in income from our joint venture projects located in China.
Gain on sale or acquisition, net was $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and related to a gain on sale of $23.7 million from a theatre located in Los Angeles, California and a gain on sale of $0.2 million from a parcel of land adjacent to one of our public charter school investments. The gain was partially offset by a loss on sale of $0.1 million from a parcel of land adjacent to one of our megaplex theatre properties. Gain on sale or acquisition, net was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to the sale of one winery, one vineyard and three parcels of land.
Gain on sale of investment in a direct financing lease was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to the sale of four public charter school properties located in Florida. There was no gain on sale of investment in a direct financing lease for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related primarily to Canadian income taxes on our Canadian trust as well as state income taxes and withholding tax for distributions related to our unconsolidated joint venture projects located in China. The $3.7 million decrease related primarily to lower income tax expense on our Canadian trust and the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.
Income from discontinued operations was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and related to post closing items related to the Toronto Dundas Square property. Income from discontinued operations was $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related primarily to the reversal of liabilities that related to the acquisition or ownership of Toronto Dundas Square.
Year ended December 31, 2014 compared to year ended December 31, 2013
Rental revenue was $286.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $248.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Rental revenue increased $38.0 million from the prior period, of which $39.6 million was related to acquisitions or build-to-suit projects completed in 2014 and 2013 and was partially offset by a net decrease of $1.6 million in rental revenue on existing properties due in part by the impact of a weaker Canadian exchange rate. Percentage rents of $2.0 million and $2.6 million were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Straight-line rents of $8.7 million and $4.8 million were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we experienced an increase of approximately 4.1% in rental rates on approximately 91,000 square feet with respect to two lease renewals. Additionally, we have funded or have agreed to fund a weighted average of $10.09 per square foot in tenant improvements. There were no leasing commissions related to these renewals.

Tenant reimbursements totaled $17.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. These tenant reimbursements related to the operations of our entertainment retail centers. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.
Other income was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily due to to option payments earned during 2013 related to the Adelaar casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York of $1.2 million and was partially offset by an increase in income recognized upon settlement of foreign currency swap contracts.
Mortgage and other financing income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $79.7 million compared to $74.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The $5.4 million increase was due to a $5.0 million prepayment fee we received on December 2, 2014 in conjunction with the full and partial repayment of four mortgage notes receivable as well as increased real estate lending activities related to our mortgage loan agreements. This was partially offset by a decrease due to the sale of four public charter school properties during 2014, which were classified as a direct financing lease. We also recognized participating interest income of $2.2 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our property operating expense totaled $24.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. These property operating expenses related to the operations of our retail centers and other specialty properties. The $1.1 million decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in bad debt expenses and other non-recoverable expenses at these properties and was also impacted by a weaker Canadian dollar exchange rate.
Our general and administrative expense totaled $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $2.0 million was primarily due to an increase in payroll related expenses including stock grant amortization.
Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $0.3 million and were related to the write off of prepaid mortgage fees in conjunction with our borrowers prepayment of four mortgage notes receivable. Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff were $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and related to the repayment of secured fixed rate mortgage debt as well as the amendments to our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $4.5 million and related to our discounted payoff of a mortgage loan secured by a theatre property located in Omaha, Nebraska. There was no gain on early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Our net interest expense increased by $0.2 million to $81.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $81.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in average borrowings and was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable as well as an increase in interest cost capitalized.
Transaction costs totaled $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $0.5 million was due to an increase in costs associated with business combinations and write offs of costs associated with terminated transactions.
Provision for loan loss was $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to one note receivable. There was no provision for loan loss for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $66.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $53.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The $12.8 million increase resulted primarily from asset acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2013 as well as the acceleration of depreciation on certain existing assets.
Gain on sale or acquisition, net was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to the sale of one winery, one vineyard and three parcels of land. Gain on sale or acquisition, net was $3.0 million for the year ended
54

December 31, 2013 and primarily related to the acquisition of the assets held in the Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II joint ventures previously held as equity interests.
Gain on sale of investment in a direct financing lease was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to the sale of four public charter school properties located in Florida. There was no gain on sale of investment in a direct financing lease for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Gain on previously held equity interest was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and was due to the fair value adjustment associated with our original ownership in the Atlantic-EPR I and Atlantic-EPR II joint ventures that was valued due to our acquisition of the remaining interest in these partnerships. There was no gain on previously held equity interest for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Income tax expense was $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related primarily to Canadian income taxes on our Canadian trust as well as state income taxes and withholding tax for distributions related to our unconsolidated joint venture projects located in China. Income tax benefit was $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and primarily resulted from the deferred tax valuation allowance reduction which was triggered by Canadian tax law changes. Changes in Canadian tax law at the end of 2013 restricted the deductibility of intercompany interest such that the Canadian trust was expected to incur and pay income taxes starting in 2014. This amount was partially offset by $0.6 million in expense recognized due to state income taxes and withholding tax for distributions related to our unconsolidated joint venture projects located in China.
Income from discontinued operations was $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related primarily to the reversal of liabilities that related to the acquisition or ownership of Toronto Dundas Square (now sold). These liabilities were reversed during the year ended December 31, 2014 as the related payments are not expected to occur. Income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and related to post closing items for the previously sold Toronto Dundas Square property as well as the operations of five winery and vineyard properties which were sold during 2013.
Gain on sale or acquisition of real estate from discontinued operations was $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and was due to the sale of five winery and vineyard properties during the year. There was no gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million at December 31, 2015. In addition, we had restricted cash of $10.6 million at December 31, 2015. Of the restricted cash at December 31, 2015, $9.3 million relates to cash held for our borrowers’ debt service reserves for mortgage notes receivable or tenants' off-season rent reserves. The remaining $1.3 million is required in connection with our debt service, payment of real estate taxes and capital improvements.
Mortgage Debt, Credit Facilities and Term Loan
As of December 31, 2015, we had total debt outstanding of $2.0 billion of which $252.4 million was fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a portion of our rental properties. The fixed rate mortgage debt had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.3% at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2015, we had outstanding $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes ranging in interest rates from 4.50% to 7.75%. All of these notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt that 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 such that they are not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt.
At December 31, 2015, we had $196.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, with $454.0 million of availability and with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points, which was 1.57% at
55

December 31, 2015. The amount that we are able to borrow on our unsecured revolving credit facility is a function of the values and advance rates, as defined by the credit agreement, assigned to the assets included in the borrowing base less outstanding letters of credit and less other liabilities.
At December 31, 2015, the unsecured term loan facility had a balance of $350.0 million with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 140 basis points, which was 1.82% at December 31, 2015, and $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt has been fixed with interest rate swaps at a blended rate of 2.71% through April 5, 2019. The loan matures on April 24, 2020.
Our combined unsecured revolving credit and term loan facility contains financial covenants that limit our levels of consolidated debt, secured debt, investment levels outside certain categories and dividend distributions, and require minimum coverage levels for fixed charges and unsecured debt service costs. Additionally, our combined unsecured revolving and term loan facility as well as our unsecured senior notes contain cross-default provisions that go into effect if we default on any of our obligations for borrowed money or credit in an amount exceeding $25.0 million ($50.0 million for the 5.25% and 4.50% unsecured senior notes), unless such default has been waived or cured within a specified period of time. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt instruments at December 31, 2015.
Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, education and recreation properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with senior unsecured notes and mortgage debt, as well as 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. We have and expect to continue to issue debt securities in public or private offerings. We have and may in the future assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions. We may also issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions. 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, and, to a lesser extent, our ability to assume debt in connection with property acquisitions.
Certain of our 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, 2015.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we issued 3,530,058 common shares under our DSPP for net proceeds of $190.3 million. Additionally, on January 21, 2016, we issued 2,250,000 common shares in a registered public offering for a total net proceeds, after the underwriting discount and offering expenses of approximately $125.0 million. The net proceeds from the public offering were used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Liquidity Requirements
Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service requirements and dividends to shareholders. We meet these requirements primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $278.5 million, $250.3 million and $234.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities was $568.5 million, $376.2 million and $336.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $292.0 million, $121.6 million and $100.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, and funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow dividends to be paid to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.
56

Liquidity requirements at December 31, 2015 consisted primarily of maturities of debt. Contractual obligations as of December 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

| Year ended December 31, |  |  |  |
Contractual Obligations | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | Thereafter |  | Total

Commitments
As of December 31, 2015, we had an aggregate of approximately $272.4 million of commitments to fund development projects including seven entertainment development projects for which we have commitments to fund approximately $24.5 million of additional improvements, 27 education development projects for which we have commitments to fund approximately $206.6 million of additional improvements and three recreation development projects for which we have commitments to fund approximately $41.3 million. Of these amounts, approximately $249.1 million is expected to be funded in 2016. 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 agreements, we can discontinue funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2015, we had a commitment to fund approximately $120.0 million to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at our casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York, of which approximately $20.0 million is expected to be funded in 2016. We are also responsible for the construction of this project's common infrastructure, which is expected to be financed primarily through the issuance of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds and currently budgeted at approximately $90.0 million, subject to budget adjustments and related approvals. Through December 31, 2015, we had funded approximately $28.8 million for common infrastructure.
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, 2015, we had five mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $54.5 million, of which $25.5 million is expected to be funded in 2016. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
We have provided guarantees of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.9 million related to two theatres in Louisiana for which we earn fees at annual rates of 2.88% to 4.00% over the 30 year terms of the bonds. We have recorded $9.7 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $9.7 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2015 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to this guarantee because payment by us is not probable.
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 dividends to shareholders.
We have $64.1 million in debt balloon payments coming due in 2016. Our sources of liquidity as of December 31, 2015 to pay the 2016 commitments described above include the amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility of approximately $454.0 million and unrestricted cash on hand of $4.3 million. Accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we expect that our sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of 2016.
57

We also believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt obligations for 2016 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, dividends 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 unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as debt and equity financing alternatives and the periodic sale of properties. The availability and terms of any such financing or sales will depend upon market and other conditions. If we borrow the maximum amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional investment financing (See Item 1A - “Risk Factors”).
Capital Structure
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 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, 2015, this ratio was 42%. Our debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at December 31, 2015 was 34%; 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 $5.9 billion by aggregating the following at December 31, 2015:

• | Common shares outstanding of 60,823,984 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of $58.45 per share, or $3.6 billion;

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

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

• | Aggregate liquidation value of our Series F redeemable preferred shares of $125.0 million; and

• | Total debt of $2.0 billion.

Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations As Adjusted (FFOAA) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
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. 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.
In addition to FFO, we present FFOAA and AFFO. FFOAA is presented by adding to FFO costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net, transaction costs (benefit), retirement severance expense, preferred share redemption costs, termination fees associated with tenants' exercises of public charter school buy-out options and provision for loan losses, and subtracting gain on early extinguishment of debt, gain (loss) on sale of land and deferred income tax benefit (expense). AFFO is presented by adding to FFOAA non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization, share-based compensation expense to management and Trustees and amortization of above market leases, net; and subtracting maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue, and the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income.
FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are widely used measures of the operating performance of real estate companies and are provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, and management provides FFO, FFOAA and AFFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and are not to be considered alternatives 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, FFOAA and AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.
The following table summarizes our FFO, FFOAA and AFFO including per share amounts for FFO and FFOAA, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited, in thousands, except per share information):

The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO per share and to FFOAA per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015. Therefore, the additional 2.0 million shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO and diluted FFOAA per share for these periods. The additional 2.0 million shares that would result from the conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of our 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted per share data for the remaining periods above because the effect is not dilutive.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The ASU does not apply to revenue recognition for lease contracts. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard which was approved in July 2015. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis The ASU focuses to minimize situations under previously existing guidance in which a reporting entity was required to consolidate another legal entity in which that reporting entity did not have: (1) the ability through contractual rights to act primarily on its own behalf; (2) ownership of the majority of the legal entity's voting rights; or (3) the exposure to a majority of the legal entity's economic benefits. The ASU affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have a material impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
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 as well as other leases provide for base and participating rent features. In addition, certain of our mortgage notes receivable similarly provide for base and participating interest. To the extent inflation causes tenant or borrower revenues at our properties to increase over baseline amounts, we would participate in those revenue increases through our right to receive annual percentage rent and/or participating interest.
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, the escalations in base rents or interest that are dependent on increases in the Consumer Price Index in our leases and mortgage notes receivable 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 16% 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 fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. As of December 31, 2015, we had $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with $196.0 million outstanding and $25.0 million in bonds, all of which bear interest at a floating rate. We also had a $350.0 million unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at a floating rate and $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt has been fixed with interest rate swaps at a blended rate of 2.71% through April 5, 2019.
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 contractual agreements or mortgages 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 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):

The fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates including current market spreads.
We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the U.S. dollar, on our four Canadian properties and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD. To mitigate our foreign currency risk in future periods on these Canadian properties, we entered into cross currency swaps with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $98.1 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 $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2018. There is no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts on these swaps. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through June 2018 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled should move in the opposite direction of the exchange rates used 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 fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $94.3 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.06 CAD per U.S dollar. Additionally, on February 28, 2014, the
62

Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $88.1 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.13 CAD per U.S. dollar. These forward contracts should hedge a significant portion of our CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through July 2018 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
EPR Properties:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EPR Properties and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2015. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the accompanying financial statement schedules listed in Item 15 (2) of this Form 10-K. 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 EPR Properties and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statements 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), EPR Properties internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 24, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of EPR Properties’ internal control over financial reporting.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs in 2015 and No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity in 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
1. Organization
Description of Business
EPR Properties (the Company) is a specialty real estate investment trust (REIT) organized on August 29, 1997 in Maryland. The Company develops, owns, leases and finances properties in select market segments primarily related to Entertainment, Education and Recreation. 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 EPR Properties 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) in which it 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. 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.
Prior to October 2015, the Company owned 96% of the membership interests of VinREIT, LLC (VinREIT). This entity was dissolved as the Company has completed the sales of its vineyard and winery properties. There was no net income attributable to noncontrolling interest related to VinREIT for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Total noncontrolling interest in VinREIT included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $377 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s consolidated statements of income include net income related to VinREIT of $0.2 million, $1.7 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company received operating distributions from VinREIT of $0.1 million, $1.3 million and $3.5 million during 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, during 2014 and 2013, respectively, the Company received distributions of $7.1 million and $45.4 million related to property sales. During 2015, there were no distributions related to property sales. During 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were no contributions related to financing activities.
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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
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 30 to 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. 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 acquisition of real estate properties, the Company determines if the acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the Company accounts for (1) acquired vacant properties, (2) acquired single tenant properties when a new lease or leases are signed at the time of acquisition, and (3) acquired single tenant properties that have an existing long-term triple-net lease or leases (greater than seven years) as asset acquisitions. Acquisitions of properties that include a process such as those with with shorter-term leases or properties with multiple tenants that require business related activities to manage and maintain the properties are treated as business combinations.
Costs incurred for asset acquisitions and development properties, including transaction costs, are capitalized. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates the purchase price and other related costs incurred to the real estate assets acquired based on recent independent appraisals or methods similar to those used by independent appraisers and management judgment.
If the acquisition is determined to be a business combination, 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 addition, acquisition-related costs in connection with business combinations are expensed as incurred. 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 expensed totaled $7.5 million, $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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 or methods similar to those used by independent appraisers 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.
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
74

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 (included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) consist of the following at December 31 (in thousands):

| 2015 |  | 2014
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $11.6 million and $12.1 million, respectively | $ | 7,273 |  |  | $ | 6,951 |
Above market lease, net of accumulated amortization of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively | 670 |  |  | 862 |
Goodwill | 693 |  |  | 693 |
Total intangible assets, net | $ | 8,636 |  |  | $ | 8,506 |

In-place leases, net at December 31, 2015 and 2014 of approximately $7.3 million and $7.0 million, respectively, relate to four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada that were purchased on March 1, 2004, three theatre properties that were purchased during 2013, 11 theatre properties that were purchased in 2014 and three theatre properties that were purchased during 2015. Above market lease, net at December 31, 2015 and 2014 relates to one theatre property that was purchased during 2013. Goodwill at December 31, 2015 and 2014 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 $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The weighted average life for these in-place leases at December 31, 2015 is 9.0 years. Amortization expense related to the above market lease is computed using the straight-line method and was $192 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and $48 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. The weighted average life for the above market lease at December 31, 2015 is 3.5 years.

Total | $ | 7,273 |  |  | $ | 670 |

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable. The Company early adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs, during 2015 and applied the guidance retrospectively. The costs unrelated to our unsecured revolving credit facility are shown as a reduction of debt of $18.3 million and $15.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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 Segments
For financial reporting purposes, the Company groups its investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Education, Recreation and Other. See Note 20 for financial information related to these operating segments.
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 $3.0 million, $2.0 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Mortgage and other financing income included participating interest income of $1.5 million, $2.2 million $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, mortgage and other financing income also included a $5.0 million prepayment fee related to mortgage notes that were paid either fully or partially in advance of their maturity dates. There were no prepayment fees included in mortgage and other financing income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2013. 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 $145 thousand, $123 thousand and $37 thousand were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
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

December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.
Discontinued Operations
The Company evaluates each sale or disposal transaction to determine if it meets the criteria to qualify as discontinued operations. A discontinued operation is a component of an entity or group of components that have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results, or an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. If the sale or disposal transaction does not meet the criteria, the operations and related gain or loss on sale is included in income from continuing operations. The Company adopted the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, during 2014 and applied the guidance prospectively.
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 $3.2 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received partial payment of $1.0 million on a note receivable that was previously impaired and accordingly the allowance for loan losses of $0.1 million was written off. The Company had one note receivable totaling $3.8 million (including $0.1 million in accrued interest) at December 31, 2014 that was impaired due to the inability of the borrower to meet its contractual obligations. Interest income of $84 thousand was recognized on this note for the year ended December 31, 2014 and related to the period before the note was impaired. Management of the Company evaluated the fair value of the underlying collateral of the note and concluded that a loan loss reserve for its full value of $3.8 million was necessary at December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company wrote off $3.8 million of this previously impaired and fully reserved note receivable.

Income Taxes
The Company operates in a manner intended to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). A REIT that 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.
The Company owns certain real estate assets which are subject to income tax in Canada. Prior to December 31, 2013, a full valuation allowance had been recorded on the net Canadian deferred tax assets as there was no assurance that the Canadian operations would generate taxable income in the future. Due to tax law changes occurring in the fourth quarter of 2013 related primarily to limitations on the deductibility of intercompany interest expense, the Company's Canadian operations generated taxable income during both the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the Company expects to continue to generate taxable income from its Canadian operations going forward. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company reassessed the need for a valuation allowance, and reversed its valuation allowance associated with the net Canadian deferred tax assets and recorded an income tax benefit of $14.8 million. At December 31, 2015, the net Canadian deferred tax assets totaled $10.9 million and the temporary differences between income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income for the Canadian operations relate primarily to depreciation and straight line rents.
The Company has certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, as permitted under the Code, through which it conducts certain business activities and are subject to federal and state income taxes on their net taxable income. One of the taxable REIT subsidiaries holds four unconsolidated joint ventures located in China. The Company records these investments using the equity method; therefore the income reported by the Company is net of income tax paid to the Chinese authorities. In addition, the company is liable for withholding taxes associated with the current and future repatriation of earnings of the China joint ventures. At December 31, 2015, the amount of this future liability was approximately $158 thousand and represented withholding taxes on 2015 earnings. Additionally, the Company paid $54 thousand in withholding taxes during the year ended December 31, 2015 that related to 2014 earnings repatriated during 2015. In addition to historical net operating loss carryovers, temporary differences between income for financial reporting purposes and taxable income for the taxable REIT subsidiaries relate primarily to timing differences from when the foreign income is recognized.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Canadian operations and the taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets totaling approximately $16.5 million and $18.7 million and deferred tax liabilities totaling approximately $3.8 million and $4.4 million. As there is no assurance that the taxable REIT subsidiaries will generate taxable income in the future beyond the reversal of temporary taxable differences, the deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s consolidated deferred tax position is summarized as follows:

| 2015 |  | 2014
Fixed assets | $ | 13,791 |  |  | $ | 15,720 |
Net operating losses | 2,249 |  |  | 2,880 |
Other | 412 |  |  | 90 |
Less Valuation allowance | (1,779 | ) |  | (2,391 | )
Total deferred tax assets | $ | 14,673 |  |  | $ | 16,299 |
Straight line receivable | $ | (2,731 | ) |  | $ | (3,594 | )
Other | (1,072 | ) |  | (850 | )
Total deferred tax liabilities | $ | (3,803 | ) |  | $ | (4,444 | )
Net deferred tax asset | $ | 10,870 |  |  | $ | 11,855 |

Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance has been established could be recognized for financial reporting purposes in future periods if the taxable REIT subsidiaries generate sufficient taxable income.
Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized current income and withholding tax expense of $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, primarily related to certain state income taxes and foreign withholding tax. The table below details the current and deferred income tax benefit (expense) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
Current state income tax expense | $ | (899 | ) |  | $ | (579 | ) |  | $ | (522 | )
Current foreign income tax | 431 |  |  | (493 | ) |  | — |
Current foreign withholding tax | (1,107 | ) |  | (1,040 | ) |  | — |
Deferred foreign withholding tax | (43 | ) |  | (320 | ) |  | (89 | )
Deferred income tax benefit (expense) | 1,136 |  |  | (1,796 | ) |  | 14,787 |
Income tax benefit (expense) | $ | (482 | ) |  | $ | (4,228 | ) |  | $ | 14,176 |

The Company's effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 0.2% and 2.3%, respectively. The differences between the income tax benefit (expense) calculated at the statutory U.S. federal income tax rates of 35% and the actual income tax benefit (expense) recorded for continuing operations is mostly attributable to the dividends paid deduction available for REITs.
Furthermore, the Company qualified as a REIT and distributed the necessary amount of taxable income such that no current U.S. federal income taxes were due for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Accordingly, no provision for current U.S. federal income taxes was recorded for any of those years. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain provisions, it will be subject to federal and state 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. Tax years 2012 through 2015 remain generally open to examination for U.S. federal income tax and state tax purposes and from 2011 through 2015 for Canadian income tax purposes.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties as general and administrative expense. In 2015, approximately $65 thousand in interest and penalties related to a state audit were recognized. In 2014, the Company did not recognize any expense related to interest and penalties. The Company did not have any accrued interest and penalties at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Concentrations of Risk
American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC) was the lessee of a substantial portion (25%) of the megaplex theatre rental properties held by the Company at December 31, 2015 as a result of a series of sale leaseback transactions pertaining to AMC megaplex theatres. A substantial portion of the Company’s total revenues (approximately $86.1 million or 20%, $87.4 million or 23% and $85.1 million or 25%, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively) results from the revenue from AMC under the leases, or from its parent, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (AMCE), as the guarantor of AMC’s obligations under the leases. AMCE is wholly owned by AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMCEH). AMCEH is a publicly held company (NYSE: AMC) and its consolidated financial information is publicly available as www.sec.gov.
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately $33.7 million or 8%, and $40.2 million or 10%, and $42.3 million or 12%, respectively, of total revenue was derived from the Company's four entertainment retail centers in Ontario, Canada. The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries that hold the four Canadian entertainment retail centers represent approximately $169.7 million or 8% and $200.4 million or 10%, respectively, of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for the operations of its Canadian properties and mortgage note (prior to pay-off) 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.
The Company's policy is to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

(1) The Company's first mortgage loan agreement with CBK Lodge, LP and CBH20, LP was secured by development land and improvements adjacent to the Company's Camelback Mountain Resort. On August 1, 2015, per the terms of the mortgage note agreement, the borrower exercised its option to convert the mortgage note agreement to a 20-year tripe net lease agreement. As a result, the Company recorded the carrying value of the investment into rental property, which approximated the fair value of the property on the conversion date. There was no gain or loss recognized on this transaction.

The mortgage loan agreements also contain certain participating interest and note pay-down provisions. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $1.5 million, $1.4 million and $923 thousand of participating interest income, respectively. SVV I, LLC is a VIE, but it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE.

Per the terms of the mortgage notes receivable, half of this amount pays back advances plus accrued interest and the other half, or approximately $22.5 million, further reduces the note balance but has no impact on the interest income the Company was previously receiving.

The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50%. Interest is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on October 1, 2015 until the stated maturity date of April 1, 2025. The notes were issued at 99.638% of their face value and are unsecured and guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause the ratio of the Company’s debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause the ratio of the Company’s secured debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause the Company’s debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times and (iv) the maintenance at all times of the Company's total unencumbered assets such that they are not less than 150% of the Company’s outstanding unsecured debt.
(23) The Company’s bonds payable due October 1, 2037 are secured by three theatres, which had a net book value of approximately $22.5 million at December 31, 2015, and bear interest at a variable rate which resets on a weekly basis and was 0.01% at December 31, 2015. The bonds requires monthly interest only payments with principal due at maturity.
Certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating performance as well as certain cross-default provisions. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2015.

9. Variable Interest Entities
The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s).
Consolidated VIEs
As of December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any investments in consolidated VIEs.
Unconsolidated VIE
At December 31, 2015, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $164.5 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage note of $164.5 million. 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. For further discussion of this mortgage note, see Note 5.
10. Derivative Instruments
All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets within the line items "Other assets" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" as applicable. The Company's derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement and the Company has elected not to offset its derivative position for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The Company had derivative liabilities of $5.7 million and $5.1 million recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and derivative assets of $42.2 million and $14.8 million recorded in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Had the Company elected to offset derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet, the Company would have had derivative assets of approximately $42.2 million and derivative assets of $14.8 million that would have been offset against the respective derivative liabilities of $5.7 million and liabilities of $5.1 million, resulting in a net derivative asset of $36.5 million and $9.7 million (with no derivative liability) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company has not posted or received collateral with its derivative counterparties as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. See Note 11 for disclosures relating to the fair value of the derivative instruments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
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.
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. These agreements have a combined outstanding notional amount of $240.0 million, a termination date of January 5, 2016 and provide a fixed rate on this debt of 2.51%. On September 6, 2013, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to further fix the interest rate on $240.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility at 2.38% from January 5, 2016 to July 5, 2017. On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 2.94% on an additional $60.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from September 8, 2015 to July 5, 2017 and on $300.0 million of the unsecured term loan facility from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019.
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, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. As of December 31, 2015, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending December 31, 2016, $4.6 million will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense.
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 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, 2015, the Company’s cross-currency swaps had a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $98.1 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 $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2018.
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 AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on foreign currency derivatives has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2015, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending December 31, 2016, $3.1 million will be reclassified from AOCI to other income.
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
93

EPR PROPERTIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in U.S. 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 $100.0 million CAD and $94.3 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.06 CAD per U.S. dollar. Additionally, on February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a forward contract with a fixed notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $88.1 million U.S. with a July 2018 settlement date. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.13 CAD per U.S. dollar. These forward contracts should hedge a significant portion of the Company’s CAD denominated net investment in these four centers through July 2018 as the impact on AOCI 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received $5.7 million of cash in connection with the settlement of a CAD to U.S. dollar currency forward agreement which was designated as a net investment hedge. The cash receipt has been reported as part of investing activity in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. The corresponding change in value of the forward contract for the period from inception to the settlement date of $5.7 million is reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The $5.7 million gain will remain in AOCI and will be reclassified into earnings upon a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Company’s investment in its four Canadian properties.
For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. No hedge ineffectiveness on net investment hedges has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

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 obligations for borrowed money or credit in an amount exceeding $25.0 million and such default is not waived or cured within a specified period of time, 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, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $5.7 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 $5.8 million.
11. 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). Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
95

EPR PROPERTIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The 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. In conjunction with the FASB's fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
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 use 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, 2015, 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, 2015 and 2014, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
There were no non-recurring measurements during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
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, 2015 and 2014:
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, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $423.8 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.36%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 8.50% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be $415.7 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.05% at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had a carrying value of $508.0 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.07%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 5.50% to 11.31%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 9.00% to 11.31%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $488.8 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 10.13% at December 31, 2014.
Investment in a direct financing lease, net:
The fair value of the Company’s investment in a direct financing lease as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had an investment in a direct financing lease with a carrying value of $190.9 million and $199.3 million, respectively, and weighted average effective interest rate of 12.00% and 11.99%, respectively. The investment in direct financing lease bears interest at effective interest rates of 11.74% to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in a direct financing lease approximates the fair market value at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
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, 2015 and 2014 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $571.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 1.65%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximates the fair market value at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had a carrying value of $372.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 1.57%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximates the fair market value at December 31, 2014.
As described in Note 8, at December 31, 2015 and 2014, $300.0 million and $240.0 million, respectively, of variable rate debt outstanding under the Company's unsecured term loan facility had been effectively converted to a fixed rate through April 5, 2019 by interest rate swap agreements.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had a carrying value of $1.43 billion in fixed rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 5.66%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt

using rates of 3.33% to 4.94%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.55 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 4.28% at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had a carrying value of $1.27 billion in fixed rate debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 5.94%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using rates of 2.13% to 4.56%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $1.38 billion with an estimated market rate of 3.76% at December 31, 2014.
12. Common and Preferred Shares

On September 23, 2014, the Company issued 3,680,000 common shares in a registered public offering for total net proceeds, after the underwriting discount and offering expenses, of approximately $184.2 million. The net proceeds from the public offering were used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,563,709 common shares under the direct share purchase component of its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (DSPP) for total net proceeds of $79.5 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,530,058 common shares under its DSPP for net proceeds of $190.3 million.
On January 21, 2016, the Company issued 2,250,000 common shares in a registered public offering for a total net proceeds, after the underwriting discount and offering expenses of approximately $125.0 million. The net proceeds from the public offering were used to pay down the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.
Series C Convertible Preferred Shares
The Company has outstanding 5.4 million 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares (Series C preferred shares). The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series C preferred shares from the date of original 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, 2015, the Series C preferred shares are convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at a conversion rate of 0.3758 common shares per Series C preferred share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $66.52 per common share. This conversion ratio may increase over time upon certain specified triggering events including if the Company’s common dividends per share exceeds a quarterly threshold of $0.6875.

December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
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.
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.

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.
At December 31, 2015, stock-option expense to be recognized in future periods was $1.9 million as follows (in thousands):

19. Other Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had an aggregate of approximately $272.4 million of commitments to fund development projects including seven entertainment development projects for which it has commitments to fund approximately $24.5 million of additional improvements, 27 education development projects for which it has commitments to fund approximately $206.6 million of additional improvements and three recreation development projects for which it has commitments to fund approximately $41.3 million. Development costs are advanced by the Company in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreements, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.
Additionally as of December 31, 2015, the Company had a commitment to fund approximately $120.0 million to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at its casino and resort project in Sullivan County, New York. The Company is also responsible for the construction of this project's common infrastructure, which is expected to be financed primarily through the issuance of tax-exempt public infrastructure bonds and currently budgeted at approximately $90.0 million, subject to budget adjustments and related approvals. Through December 31, 2015, the Company has funded approximately $28.8 million for common infrastructure.
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, 2015, the Company had five mortgage notes receivable with commitments totaling approximately $54.5 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest
will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.
The Company has provided guarantees of the payment of certain economic development revenue bonds totaling $22.9 million related to two theatres in Louisiana for which the Company earns a fee at an annual rate of 2.88% to 4.00% over the 30 year terms of the related bonds. The Company has recorded $9.7 million as a deferred asset included in other assets and $9.7 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to these guarantees because payment by the Company is not probable.

December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013
On June 7, 2011, affiliates of Louis Cappelli, 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 two subsidiaries of the Company seeking (i) a declaratory judgment concerning the Company's obligations under a previously disclosed settlement agreement involving these entities, (ii) an order that the Company execute the golf course lease and the “Racino Parcel” lease subject to the settlement agreement, and (iii) an extension of the restrictive covenant against ownership or operation of a casino on the Adelaar resort property under the settlement agreement (the “Restrictive Covenant”), which covenant was set to expire on December 31, 2011. The Company filed counterclaims seeking related relief. The Cappelli Group subsequently obtained leave to discontinue its claims, but the counterclaims remained pending. On June 30, 2014, the Court (i) denied the Cappelli Group’s motion to dismiss the counterclaims, (ii) granted the Company's motion for summary judgment finding that the Cappelli Group missed the December 31, 2011 deadline to fully execute a master credit agreement which was a condition to the Company’s obligation to continue its joint development activities with the Cappelli Group under the settlement agreement, (iii) granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment finding that the Restrictive Covenant had expired, and (iv) granted the Company’s motion for declaratory relief declaring the Company as master developer of the Adelaar resort property. The Cappelli Group perfected its appeal of the summary judgment decision in the Appellate Division, Third Department on December 30, 2014. On July 30, 2015, the Appellate Division, Third Department affirmed the lower court’s decision granting summary judgment in favor of the Company. On August 27, 2015, the Cappelli Group filed a motion in the Appellate Division for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals. On November 23, 2015, the Cappelli Group’s motion for leave to appeal the summary judgment decision was denied. As a result, this case is now closed.
On October 20, 2011, the Cappelli Group also filed suit against the Company and two affiliates in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester, asserting a claim for breach of contract and the implied covenant of good faith, and seeking damages of at least $800 million, based on the same allegations as in the action the Cappelli Group filed in Sullivan County Supreme Court. The Company has moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in Westchester County based on the Sullivan County Supreme Court’s June 30, 2014 decision (which has now been affirmed). On January 26, 2016, the Supreme Court denied the Company's motion to dismiss but ordered the Cappelli Group to amend its pleading and remove all claims and allegations previously determined by the Third Department (discussed above). On February 18, 2016, the Cappelli Group revised their amended complaint, which the Company believes remains deficient.
On September 18, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) dismissed the complaint filed by Concord Associates L.P. and six other companies affiliated with Mr. Cappelli against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Empire Resorts, Inc. and Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. (collectively, “Empire”), and Kien Huat Realty III Limited and Genting New York LLC (collectively, “Genting”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company had conspired with Empire to monopolize the racing and gaming market in the Catskills by entering into exclusivity and development agreements to develop a comprehensive resort destination in Sullivan County, New York. The plaintiffs are seeking $500 million in damages (trebled to $1.5 billion under antitrust law), punitive damages, and injunctive relief. The District Court dismissed plaintiffs’ federal antitrust claims against all defendants with prejudice, and dismissed the pendent state law claims against Empire and Genting without prejudice, meaning they could be further pursued in state court. On October 2, 2013, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration with the District Court, seeking permission to file a Second Amended Complaint, and soon after filed a Notice of Appeal. The District Court denied the motion for reconsideration in an Opinion and Order dated November 3, 2014, and the plaintiffs perfected their appeal in the Second Circuit on or about December 17, 2014. Oral arguments by the parties regarding the appeal were presented on April 29, 2015.
The Company has not determined that losses related to these matters are probable. Because of the favorable rulings described above, and the pending or potential appeals, together with the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation generally, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine the amount or range of reasonably possible loss with respect to these matters. The Company’s assessments are based on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management, but that may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause the Company to change those estimates and assumptions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries by the Cappelli Group and its affiliates, for which the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the claims and related litigation.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
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 (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015. 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 a report on the effectiveness of 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
EPR Properties:
We have audited EPR Properties’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). EPR Properties’ 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, EPR Properties maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of EPR Properties and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, and our report dated February 24, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issue Costs in 2015 and No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity in 2014.
