EPR PROPERTIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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, Recreation and Education. The Company’s properties are located in the United States and Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the ~~nine~~three month period ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The Company consolidates certain entities when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE) in which it has a controlling financial interest in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the FASB ASC Topic on Consolidation (Topic 810), or does not have effective control, but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on ~~March 1, 2018.~~February 28, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, ~~2018, the Company adopted~~2019, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ~~2016-18,~~2016-02 ~~Statement~~Leases (Topic 842) became effective for the Company. The Company adopted the standard on the effective date and used the effective date as the date of ~~Cash Flows~~initial application. Accordingly, comparative periods have not been recast, and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.,

The standard offered several practical expedients for transition and certain ~~reclassifications have been made~~expedients specific to lessees or lessors. Both lessees and lessors are permitted to make an election to apply a package of practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which permitted the Company to not reassess its prior period balances to conform to current presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Under ASU No. 2016-18, transfers to or from restricted cash which have been previously shown in the Company's operating activities section of the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows are now required to be shown as part of the total change in cashconclusions about lease identification, lease classification and ~~cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows.~~initial direct costs. In addition, ~~on January 1, 2018,~~ the Company ~~adopted ASU No. 2016-15,~~ ~~Classification~~elected the expedient to not evaluate existing or expired land easements and elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all its leases where it is the lessor. In addition, the Company elected the short-term lease exception, which allows the Company to account for leases with a lease term of ~~Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.~~ 12 months or less similar to existing operating leases. The ~~ASU clarifies~~Company did not elect the ~~treatment of several cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The adoption of this ASU had no impact~~use-of-hindsight expedient. See Note 16 for information related to the Company's ~~financial position, results of operations or presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows.~~

~~On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ ~~(ASC 606) and ASC Topic 610-20,~~ ~~Other Income: Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Non-financial Assets~~ (ASC 610-20) using a modified retrospective (cumulative effect) method of adoption. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity will recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers when it satisfies performance obligations. The Company’s primary source of revenue is from lease revenue (which is excluded from the revenue standard but will be impacted upon adoption of the lease standard in 2019 discussed in Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards) and mortgage and other financing income (which is not in scope of the revenue standard). ASC 610-20 provides guidance on how entities recognize sales to non-customers including presentation of gain or loss on a net basis in the consolidated statements of income. The Company has concluded that its property sales represent transactions with non-customers. The Company had two property sale transactions that occurred in 2017 in which the Company received an aggregate of $12.3 million in mortgage notes receivable as full

consideration for the sales. The mortgage notes require interest only payments until maturity and the Company determined in 2017 that these transactions qualified as sales; however, the gain on each sale was deferred. Upon adoption of ASC 610-20 on January 1, 2018, the Company determined that these transactions did not qualify for de-recognition. Accordingly, the Company recorded an adjustment in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to reclassify these assets from mortgage notes receivable to rental properties on its consolidated balance sheet. All other sales of real estate were all cash transactions in which the purchaser obtained control of the property, therefore, there was no cumulative adjustment recognized to beginning retained earnings as a result of adopting ASC 610-20.leases.

Operating Segments

The Company has four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Recreation, Education and Other. See Note 15 for financial information related to these operating segments.

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 three to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and 10 to 20 years for site improvements. Tenant improvements, including allowances, are depreciated over the shorter of the base term of the lease or the estimated useful life and leasehold interests are depreciated over the useful life of the underlying ground lease. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that 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 it is probable the assets will be sold 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.

Real Estate Acquisitions

Upon acquisition of real estate properties, the Company evaluates the acquisition to determine if it is a business combination or an asset acquisition. ~~In January 2017,~~

If the ~~FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805):~~ ~~Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance~~acquisition is determined to ~~assist entities with evaluating whether acquisitions should~~ be ~~accounted for as business combinations or~~an asset acquisitions. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-01~~as of January 1, 2017. As a result,~~acquisition, the Company ~~expects that fewer of its real estate acquisitions will be accounted for as business combinations.~~

~~Costs incurred for asset acquisitions and development properties, including transaction costs, are capitalized. For asset acquisitions, the Company allocates~~records the purchase price and other related costs incurred to the acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building, site improvements, tenant improvements, leasehold interests and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities ~~based~~(consisting of in-place leases, above and below-market leases, tradenames, contract value and assumed financing that is determined to be above or below-market terms) on ~~recent independent appraisals~~a relative fair value basis. In addition, costs incurred for asset acquisitions including transaction costs, are capitalized.

If the acquisition is determined to be a business combination, the Company records the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building, site improvements, tenant improvements, leasehold interests and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of in-place leases, above and below-market leases, tradenames, contract value and assumed financing that is determined to be above or ~~methods similar to those used by independent appraisers and management judgment. Acquisition-related~~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 and pre-opening costs, are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income as transaction costs.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations or mortgage note receivable as applicable. Deferred financing costs of ~~$35.0~~$32.8 million and $~~32.9~~33.9 million as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, respectively, are shown as a reduction of debt. The deferred financing costs of $4.7 million and $5.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to the unsecured revolving credit facility are included in other assets.

~~Allowance for Doubtful Accounts~~Rental Revenue

~~Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts where collection is not probable.~~ The ~~Company’s accounts receivable balance is comprised~~Company leases real estate to its tenants primarily ~~of rents and~~under leases that are predominately classified as 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~~Company's leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout 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 paymentlease 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. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company's net income.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

Rents that are fixed

and determinable are recognized on a straight-line basis over the ~~non-cancellable terms~~lease term. Many of the ~~leases.~~Company's leasing arrangements include options to extend the lease, which are not included in the minimum lease terms unless it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Straight-line rental revenue is subject to an evaluation for ~~collectability,~~collectibility, and the Company records a ~~provision for losses~~direct write-off against rental revenues if ~~collectability~~collectibility of these future rents is not ~~reasonably assured.~~probable. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ the Company recognized ~~$7.0~~$2.4 million and ~~$11.4~~$1.9 million, respectively, of straight-line rental ~~revenue.~~revenue, net of write-offs of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no straight-line write-offs recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Base rent ~~escalation on leases~~escalations that include a variable component are ~~dependent~~recognized upon ~~increases~~the occurrence of the specified event as defined in the ~~Consumer Price Index (CPI) is recognized when known. For both~~Company's lease agreements.

A substantial portion of the ~~nine~~Company’s lease contracts are triple-net leases, which require the tenants to make payments to third parties for lessor costs (such as property taxes and insurance) associated with the properties. In accordance with Topic 842, the Company does not include these payments made by the lessees to third parties in rental revenue or property operating expenses. In certain situations, the Company pays these lessor costs directly to third-parties and the tenants reimburse the Company. In accordance with Topic 842, these payments are presented on a gross basis in rental revenue and property operating expense. During the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018 and 2017,~~March 31, 2019, the Company recognized ~~$11.4~~$2.2 million in tenant reimbursements related to the gross up of these reimbursed expenses which are included in rental revenue.

Certain of the Company's leases, particularly at its entertainment retail centers, require the tenants to make payments to the Company for property related expenses such as common area maintenance. The Company has elected to combine these non-lease components with the lease components in rental revenue. As such, certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 presentation to conform to the 2019 presentation to combine tenant reimbursements with rental revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $3.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements that related to the operations of its entertainment retail centers. ~~Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 presentation to conform to the 2018 presentation to combine tenant reimbursements with rental revenue.~~

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.~~agreement. Rental revenue included percentage rents of ~~$5.7~~$1.4 million and ~~$4.7~~$1.3 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its receivables on a lease by lease basis. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and ~~2017, respectively. Mortgage~~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 ~~other financing income included participating interest income~~changes in customer payment terms. The Company suspends revenue recognition when the collectibility of ~~$0.7 million for~~lease receivables or future lease payments are no longer probable and records a direct write-off of the ~~nine~~receivable to rental revenue. For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017. No participating interest~~March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.2 million in reductions to rental income ~~was recognized for~~related to the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~

~~Direct financing lease income is recognized on~~write-off of tenant receivables. Certain reclassifications have been made to the ~~effective interest method~~2018 presentation to ~~produce a level yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values at~~conform to the ~~date of lease inception represent management's initial estimates of fair value~~2019 presentation related to the Company's former presentation of the leased assets at the expiration of the lease, not to exceed original cost. Significant assumptions used in estimating residual values include estimated net cash flows over the remaining lease term and expected future real estate values. The Company evaluates on an annual basis (or more frequently, if necessary) the collectability of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property Sales

Sales of real estate properties are recognized when a contract exists ~~collectability is probable~~ and the purchaser has obtained control of the property. Gains on sales of properties are recognized in full in a partial sale of nonfinancial assets, to the extent control is not retained. Any noncontrolling interest retained by the seller would, accordingly, be measured at fair value.

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. 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.

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. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method based on the stated interest rate over the estimated life of the note. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into income over the estimated life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company evaluates the ~~collectability~~collectibility 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.

Mortgage and Other Financing Income

Certain of the Company's borrowers are subject to additional interest based on certain thresholds defined in the mortgage agreements (participating interest). Participating interest income is recognized at the time when specific triggering events occur as provided by the mortgage agreement. There was no participating interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, mortgage and other financing income included $0.9 million in prepayment fees related to a mortgage note that was paid fully in advance of its maturity date. There were no prepayment fees recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

As described above, the Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 and elected to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease classification. Accordingly, the Company's leases that were classified as investment in direct financing leases retained this classification. Direct financing lease income is included in mortgage and other financing income and 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 collectibility of its direct financing lease receivable and unguaranteed residual value to determine whether they are impaired. A direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a direct financing lease receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the direct financing lease receivable's effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, if such receivable is collateralized.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation to employees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Annual Incentive Program and Long-Term Incentive Plan and share-based compensation to non-employee Trustees of the Company is granted pursuant to the Company's Trustee compensation program. Prior to May 12, 2016, share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee Trustees was issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders at the May 11, 2016 annual shareholder meeting and this plan replaced

the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Accordingly, all share-based compensation granted on or after May 12, 2016 has been issued under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense consists of share option expense and amortization of nonvested share grants issued to employees, and amortization of share units issued to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers. Share-based compensation included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled ~~$11.3~~$3.3 million and ~~$10.6~~$3.8 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

Share Options

Share options are granted to employees pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The fair value of share options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share options granted to employees vest over a period of four years and share option expense for these options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense recognized related to share options and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was ~~$213~~$2 thousand and ~~$528~~$73 thousand for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

Nonvested Shares Issued to Employees

The Company grants nonvested shares to employees pursuant to both the Annual Incentive Program and the Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company amortizes the expense related to the nonvested shares awarded to employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the premium awarded under the nonvested share alternative of the Annual Incentive Program on a straight-line basis over the future vesting period (three or four years). Expense recognized related to nonvested shares and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was ~~$10.2~~$2.9 million and ~~$9.1~~$3.4 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

Restricted Share Units Issued to Non-Employee Trustees

The Company issues restricted share units to non-employee Trustees for payment of their annual retainers under the Company's Trustee compensation program. The fair value of the share units granted was based on the share price at the date of grant. The share units vest upon the earlier of the day preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders or a change of control. The settlement date for the shares is selected by the non-employee Trustee, and ranges from one year from the grant date to upon termination of service. This expense is amortized by the Company on a straight-line basis over the year of service by the non-employee Trustees. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees was ~~$931~~$409 thousand and ~~$936~~$337 thousand for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

Derivative Instruments

~~In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):~~ ~~Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~. The update amended existing guidance in order to better align a company's financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. It requires the Company to disclose the effect of its hedging activities on its consolidated statements of income and eliminated the periodic measurement and recognition of hedging ineffectiveness. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application of the guidance permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-12~~as of October 1, 2017. Early adoption had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.~~

The Company has entered into 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. 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. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. For its net investment hedges, the Company has elected to ~~assesses~~assess hedge effectiveness using a method based on changes in spot exchange rates and record the changes in the fair value amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness into earnings on a systematic

and rational basis. 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.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases~~, which amends existing accounting standards for lease accounting and is intended to improve financial reporting related to lease transactions. The ASU will require lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on certain criteria and to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. The standard eliminates current real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions and will require new disclosures within the notes accompanying the consolidated financial statements.

Although the Company is primarily a lessor, ASU No. 2016-02 will impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures as it has certain operating land leases and other arrangements for which it is the lessee and will be required to recognize these arrangements on the consolidated financial statements. For the land lease arrangements, the Company is also, in substantially all cases, in a sub-lessor position and passes the obligation to pay the monthly land lease payments on to its sublessees. The Company has completed its initial inventory and evaluation of the land leases and other arrangements and expects that it will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company is in the process of preparing the initial estimates of the amount of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Based on the current contracts under which the Company is a lessee, it is estimated that its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to be recognized upon adoption will be less than 4% of total assets. However, the ultimate impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-02 will depend on the Company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

A substantial portion of the Company’s lease contracts (under which it is lessor) are triple-net leases, which require the tenants to make payments to third parties for operating expenses such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs associated with the properties. The Company currently does not include these payments made by the lessee to third parties in rental revenue or property operating expenses. Because of applying the guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, the Company may be required to show certain payments made by its tenants on a gross basis in its consolidated statements of income. Although no impact to net income or cash flows is expected as a result of a gross presentation, it may have the impact of increasing both reported revenues and property operating expenses. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this potential presentation.

The ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on its effective date. The standard offers several practical expedients for transition and certain expedients specific to lessees or lessors. Both lessees and lessors are permitted to make an election to apply a package of practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. The Company has concluded it will apply the package of practical expedients and certain other transition expedients, including the expedient to not evaluate existing or expired land easements. For transition, the Company intends to recognize all effects of transition in the beginning of the adoption reporting period on January 1, 2019.

The Company will continue its implementation work in 2018 including enhancements to the Company’s internal control framework, accounting systems and related documentation surrounding its lease accounting processes and the preparation of any additional disclosures that will be required.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ASU changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses are recorded. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the ~~collectability~~collectibility of financial assets and eliminates the incurred losses methodology under current U.S. GAAP. In addition, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which also amends ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ASU states that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. ASU No. 2016-13 isand ASU No. 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ~~the ASU~~these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. ~~Impairment Charges~~

In July 2018, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with Children’s Learning Adventure USA (CLA) related to 21 open schools which replaced the prior lease arrangements. The lease agreement provided for a one-month term for rent of $1.0 million that expired on August 31, 2018. The Company agreed to extend this lease for the months of September and October 2018 and the monthly rent of $1.0 million along with reimbursement for property taxes of approximately $170 thousand was paid by CLA for each of these months. If the new month-to-month lease is not further extended, CLA will be required to expeditiously vacate these properties, in which case the Company intends to lease some or all of the 21 schools to other operators. The Company had $248.4 million classified in rental properties, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 for these 21 schools and determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flow exceed the carrying values of these properties. In addition, CLA also relinquished control of four of the Company’s properties that were still under development as the Company no longer intends to develop these properties for CLA. As a result, the Company revised its estimated undiscounted cash flows for these four properties, considering shorter expected holding periods, and determined that those estimated cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying values of these four properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined the estimated fair value of these properties using Level 3 inputs, including independent appraisals of these properties, and reduced the carrying value of these assets to $9.8 million, recording an impairment charge of $16.5 million. The charge was primarily related to the cost of improvements specific to the development of CLA’s prototype.

(Imagine). As described in Note 2, the Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 and elected to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease classification, therefore these lease arrangements continue to be classified as direct financing leases. Investment in direct financing leases, net represents estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets and net unpaid rentals, less related deferred income. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of investment in direct financing leases, net as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018 (in thousands):

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.6 million, which included an allowance for lease loss of $7.3 million and a charge of $2.3 million related to estimated unguaranteed residual value. The Company determined that no additional allowance for losses was necessary at September 30, 2018.

Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company performed its annual review of the estimated unguaranteed residual value on its other properties leased to Imagine and determined that the residual value on one of these properties was impaired. As such, the Company recorded an impairment charge of the unguaranteed residual value of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2017.

~~During the nine months ended September 30,~~ 2018, the Company completed the sale of four public charter school properties leased to Imagine, located in Arizona, Ohio and Washington D.C. for net proceeds of $43.4 million. Accordingly, the Company reduced its investment in direct financing leases, net, by $37.9 million, which included $31.6 million in original acquisition costs. A gain of $5.5 million was recognized during the ~~nine months~~year ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2018.

7. Issuance of Common Shares

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,059,656 common shares under the direct share purchase component of its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (DSPP) for net proceeds of $78.6 million.

8. ~~Debt and Capital Markets~~Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

~~On January 2,~~As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a 65% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures related to two recreation anchored lodging properties located in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. The Company's partner, Gencom and its affiliates, own the remaining 35% interest in the joint venture. There are two separate joint ventures, one that holds the investment in the real estate of the recreation anchored lodging properties and the other that holds lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement with an eligible independent contractor. The Company's investment in the operating entity is held in a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS). The Company accounts for its investment in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had invested $30.3 million and $29.5 million, respectively, in these joint ventures.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's investments in these joint ventures were considered to be variable interests and the underlying entities are VIEs. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as the Company does not individually have the power to direct the activities that are most important to the joint ventures and accordingly these investments are not consolidated. See Note 9 for further discussion on these VIEs.

The joint venture that holds the real property partially financed the purchase of the lodging properties with a short-term secured mortgage loan of $60.0 million with a maturity date of June 21, 2019. On March 28, 2019, the joint venture prepaid in full this mortgage loan and entered into a new secured mortgage ~~note payable totaling $11.7 million~~loan due April 1, 2022 with an ~~annual interest rate~~initial balance of ~~6.19%, which was secured by~~$61.2 million and a maximum availability of $85.0 million.

Unconsolidated VIE

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company's recorded investment in two mortgage notes which are unconsolidated VIEs totaled ~~$180.5~~$190.7 million. The Company's maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs is limited to the Company's outstanding mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable of ~~$180.5~~$190.7 million. These mortgage notes are secured by three recreation properties and one public charter school.

In addition, at March 31, 2019, the Company had $30.3 million of recorded investments in unconsolidated VIEs through joint ventures that own two recreation anchored lodging properties. The Company accounts for these investments in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company's maximum exposure to loss at March 31, 2019, is its investment in the joint ventures of $30.3 million as well as the Company's guarantee of its pro-rata share of the estimated costs to complete renovations of approximately $14.6 million. See Note 8 for further discussion related to the Company's unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.

While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance is not held by the Company.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign currency transactions and interest rates on its LIBOR based borrowings. The Company manages 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 these objectives, 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 or payment of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty which results in the Company recording net interest expense that is fixed over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had two interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 2.64% on $300.0 million of borrowings under ~~the~~its unsecured term loan facility from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019. Additionally, as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had three ~~additional~~ interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 3.15% on an additional $50.0 million of borrowings under ~~the~~its unsecured term loan facility from November 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019 and on $350.0 million of borrowings under ~~the~~its unsecured term loan facility from April 6, 2019 to February 7, 2022. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate at 3.35% on the remaining $50.0 million of borrowings under its unsecured term loan facility from April 5, 2019 to February 7, 2022.

The change 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 within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

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 ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending ~~September 30, 2019, $2.8~~March 31, 2020, $1.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI to a reduction of interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, USD, on CAD denominated cash flow from its four Canadian properties. The Company uses ~~cross currency~~cross-currency swaps ~~and foreign currency forwards~~ to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate on ~~its Canadian~~cash inflows associated with these 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 ~~used~~utilized to translate revenues and expenses of these properties.

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had a USD-CAD cross-currency swap with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $79.5 million USD. The net effect of this swap is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.26 CAD per USD on approximately $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows through June 2020.

~~On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into two cross-currency swap agreements designated as net investment hedges that are described below.~~

The change 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 within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. As of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending ~~September 30, 2019, $0.3~~March 31, 2020, $0.6 million of gains will be reclassified from AOCI to other income.

Net Investment Hedges

~~As discussed above, the~~The Company is exposed to fluctuations in ~~foreign~~the USD-CAD exchange ~~rates~~rate on its ~~four Canadian properties.~~net investments in Canada. As such, the Company uses either currency forward agreements or cross-currency swaps to ~~hedge~~manage its exposure to changes in foreign exchange ~~rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the USD-CAD exchange rate for delivery~~rates on certain of ~~a specified amount~~its foreign net investments.

As of foreign currency on a specified date. The currency forward agreements are typically cash settled in USD for their fair value at or close to their settlement date. In order to hedge the net investment in four of the Canadian properties, on June 29, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company ~~entered into~~had two fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps with a total notional value of $200.0 million CAD. These instruments became effective on July 1, 2018, mature on July 1, 2023 and are designated as net investment hedges ~~that became effective July 1, 2018 with a total fixed notional value~~on its Canadian net investments. The net effect of ~~$200.0 million CAD and $151.6 million USD with a maturity date of July 1, 2023. Included in~~ this ~~net investment~~ hedge ~~the Company locked~~is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.32 CAD per USD on ~~approximately~~$200.0 million CAD of the Company's foreign net investments. The cross-currency swaps also have a monthly settlement feature locked in at an exchange rate of $1.32 CAD per USD on $4.5 million of ~~additional~~CAD annual ~~CAD denominated~~ cash flows, on the ~~properties through July 1, 2023.~~

~~On June 29, 2018,~~net effect of which is an excluded component from the Company de-designated two CAD to USD currency forward agreements in conjunction with entering into new agreements, described above, effectively terminating the currency forward agreements. These contracts were previously designated as net investment hedges. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company received $30.8 millioneffectiveness testing of cash in connection with the settlement of the CAD to USD currency forward agreements. The corresponding change in value of the forward contracts for the period from inception through de-designation of $30.8 million is reported 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.this hedge.

For qualifying foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company's accounting policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components are presented in other income.

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 for two of the agreements and $50.0 million for three of the agreements 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 ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any provisions in these agreements.

11. Fair Value Disclosures

The Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurement 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 Measurement 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 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 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 ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation

of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017~~2018 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

As discussed further in Note 4, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges totaling $16.5 million related to land held for development and property under development. Management estimated the fair values of these investments taking into account various factors including the independent appraisals, the shortened hold period and current market conditions. The Company determined, based on inputs, that its valuation of land held for development and property under development classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as many of the assumptions are not observable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017:~~2018:

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.

The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.00% to 11.43%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using

rates of 7.50% to ~~11.50%~~10.00%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately ~~$602.6~~$555.2 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of ~~9.41%~~8.70% at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019.

At December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had a carrying value of $~~970.7~~517.5 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately ~~8.42%~~8.67%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.00% to ~~11.31%~~11.43%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of ~~7.00%~~7.50% to ~~11.50%~~10.00%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be $~~992.6~~544.6 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of ~~8.79%~~8.68% at December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

At ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company had an investment in direct financing leases with a carrying value of ~~$20.5~~$20.6 million and ~~$57.9 million, respectively, and with~~ a weighted average effective interest rate of 12.04% ~~and 11.98% at September 30, 2018~~. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017, respectively. At September 30,~~ 2018, the investment in direct financing leases ~~bear~~bears interest at effective rates of 11.93% ~~to 12.38% and at December 31, 2017, effective rates were 11.90%~~ to 12.38%. The carrying value of the investment in direct financing leases approximated the fair value at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

Derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments are carried at their fair value.

Debt instruments:

The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, the Company had a carrying value of ~~$425.0~~$513.6 million in variable rate

debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately ~~2.74%~~2.94%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair value at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019.

Early Childhood Education Tenant

During 2017, cash flow of Children's Learning Adventure USA (CLA or CLA Parent) was negatively impacted by challenges brought on by its rapid expansion and related ramp up to stabilization and by adverse weather conditions in Texas during the third quarter of 2017. As a result, CLA initiated negotiations with the Company and other landlords regarding a potential restructuring. However, CLA did not secure the investments necessary to accomplish the restructuring. As a result, the Company sent CLA notices of lease termination on October 12, 2017 for the following CLA properties: (i) Broomfield, Colorado, (ii) Ashburn, Virginia, (iii) West Chester, Ohio, (iv) Chanhassen, Minnesota, (v) Ellisville, Missouri, (vi) Farm Road-Las Vegas, Nevada, (vii) Fishers, Indiana, (viii) Tredyffrin, Pennsylvania, and (ix) Westerville, Ohio.

On December 18, 2017, ten subsidiaries of CLA Parent (CLA Debtors) filed separate voluntary petitions for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court (Court) for the District of Arizona (Jointly Administered under Case No. 2:17-bk-14851-BMW)~~. The CLA Debtors consist~~, covering substantially all of CLA Properties SPE, LLC, CLA Maple Grove, LLC, CLA Carmel, LLC, CLA West Chester, LLC, CLA One Loudoun, LLC, LLC, CLA Fishers, LLC, CLA Chanhassen, LLC, CLA Ellisville, LLC, CLA Farm, LLC, and CLA Westerville, LLC.the Company's properties leased to CLA. CLA Parent has not filed a petition for bankruptcy. The CLA Debtors include each of the Company's direct or indirect tenants on 24 out of the Company's 25 CLA properties, including 21 operating properties, two partially completed properties and one unimproved land parcel. The only CLA tenant unaffected by the bankruptcy is CLA King of Prussia, LLC, which is the CLA tenant entity for an unimproved land parcel located in Tredyffrin, Pennsylvania. It is the Company's understanding that the CLA Debtors filed bankruptcy petitions to stay the termination of the remaining CLA leases and delay the eviction process.

On January 8, 2018, the Company filed with the Court (i) motions seeking rent for the post-petition period beginning on December 18, 2017, and (ii) motions seeking relief from the automatic stay seeking the right to terminate the remaining leases and evict the CLA Debtors from the properties. On March 14, 2018, CLA Parent, the CLA ~~Parties~~Debtors and certain other CLA subsidiaries (CLA Parties) and the Company entered into a Stipulation providing that (a) the CLA Parties would pay ~~monthly~~ rent for the months of March ~~April, May, June and~~through July ~~in the amounts~~for an aggregate total of ~~$750 thousand, $750 thousand, $750 thousand, $1.0~~$4.3 million, ~~and $1.0 million, respectively,~~ (b) resolution of restructuring of the leases between the Company and the CLA Parties would be concluded no later than July 31, 2018 (the Forbearance Period), (c) relief from stay would be granted with respect to the Company’s properties as needed to implement the Stipulation, (d) the parties would not commence or prosecute litigation against any other party during the Forbearance Period, and (e) the deadline for any motion by the CLA Debtors to assume or reject the leases under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code would be extended to July 31, 2018. On May 7, 2018, the Court entered an order approving the Stipulation. The CLA Parties made all of the rent payments required by the Stipulation.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with CLA Parent related to the 21 operating properties which replaced the prior lease ~~arrangements.~~arrangements and continued on a month-to-month basis. The lease agreement provided for ~~a one-month term for rent of $1.0 million that expired on August 31, 2018. The Company agreed to extend this lease for the months of September and October and the~~ monthly rent of $1.0 million plus approximately $170 thousand for ~~pro rata~~pro-rata property ~~taxes has been paid for each of these months.~~taxes. The ~~Company may agree to further extend this lease, in its sole discretion, if the Company believes~~ CLA is making adequate progress towards a satisfactory restructuring. If the new lease is not extended, CLA will be required to expeditiously vacate these properties, in which case the Company intends to lease some or all of the 21 schools to other operators. CLA alsoParties relinquished control of ~~the~~ four properties that were still under development as the Company no longer ~~intends~~intended to develop these properties. Two of these properties were sold in February 2019.

In February 2019, the CLA Parties and the Company entered into agreements (collectively, the PSA) providing for the purchase and sale of certain assets associated with the businesses located at the 21 operating CLA properties whereby the Company could nominate a third party operator to take an assignment and transfer of such assets from the CLA Parties and receive certain beneficial rights under various related ancillary agreements. Consideration provided by the Company for the asset transfers would include the release of past due rent obligations, previously fully reserved by the Company, and additional consideration of approximately $15.0 million which includes approximately $3.5 million for equipment used in the operations of the Company's schools. The CLA Parties agreed to surrender possession of any of those properties that have not been transferred to a replacement operator prior to March 31, 2020 and agreed to continue leasing and operating each of the 21 properties for an aggregate of approximately $1.0 million per month of minimum rent until the transfer of each property to the Company’s replacement tenant or surrender of the property.

Additionally, in February 2019, the Company entered into leases of all 21 operating CLA properties with Crème de la Crème (Crème), a national early childhood education operator. These leases are contingent upon the Company delivering possession of the properties and include different financial terms based on whether or not the CLA Parties deliver Crème the assets associated with the in-place operations of the school. The leases have 20-year terms that commence upon Crème beginning operations of the schools. Additionally, Crème and the Company each have early termination rights based on school level economic performance.

On February 27, 2019, CLA filed a motion with the Court seeking authorization of the sale of assets as required by the PSA. A condition to the parties’ obligations under the PSA was the Court’s approval of the motion. The Court held a hearing regarding such approval on April 10, 2019. At the hearing, the Court did not rule on the motion based upon objections from another landlord of CLA. To mitigate the risk that CLA Parent would file for bankruptcy protection and delay our transfer of the properties to Crème, the Company terminated the PSA on April 11, 2019. However, the lease of the properties to CLA Parent was not terminated and is expected to continue while each property is operated by it.

The Company has informed CLA Parent and the other landlord that it is willing to consider an overall agreement regarding the transfer of properties to Crème if those parties can agree to cooperate. The Company understands that CLA Parent and the other landlord have not resolved those issues. However, the Company and CLA Parent have discussed a process that would provide for the continuation of the lease to CLA Parent and the transfer of the properties one at a time to Crème as it receives the necessary licenses and permits for each property. The terms for such transfers would be similar to those contained in the PSA, except that the CLA Debtors would not be involved. The Company has determined that the exclusion of any assets held by the CLA Debtors would not be material to the transfer of the operations of the properties to Crème.

CLA Parent continues to ~~negotiate~~cooperate with ~~third parties regarding~~Crème by providing access to facilities, staff and information. With this assistance, Crème has made substantial progress with its license applications and preparations to begin operating these schools later in 2019. This process must be undertaken on a ~~restructuring that would permit CLA~~state-by-state basis and is expected to ~~continue operation~~be substantially complete before the end of ~~the CLA properties. In addition, the Company is actively pursuing other alternatives for these properties, including replacement tenants and operators.~~2019. There can be no ~~assurances~~assurance that Crème will timely obtain necessary licenses and permits, and therefore there can be no assurance as to the ~~ultimate~~ outcome of the contemplated transaction or whether some or all of the properties will be transferred to Crème with in-place operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that CLA Parent will continue to cooperate with Crème and provide access to personnel and information needed to acquire the operations of the properties. If the Company is unable to transfer the properties to Crème with in-place operations, the Company intends to take possession of the properties and transfer them without operations. If some or all of the schools are not transferred to Crème with in-place operations, there will be a delay in re-opening such ~~actions or the Company's pursuit of its legal remedies with respect to the CLA properties.~~schools and a corresponding reduction in near term rents from Crème.

16. Operating Leases

The Company’s rental properties are leased under operating leases with remaining terms ranging from one to 31 years. As described in Note 2, the Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 and elected to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease classification. Accordingly, these lease arrangements continue to be classified as operating leases.

The following table summarizes the future minimum rentals on the Company's lessor and sub-lessor arrangements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

In addition to its lessor arrangements on its rental properties, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was lessee in 57 operating ground leases as well as lessee in an operating lease of its executive office. The Company's tenants, who are generally sub-tenants under these ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. In the event the tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent, the Company would be primarily responsible for the payment, assuming the Company does not sell or re-tenant the property. As of March 31, 2019, the ground lease arrangements have remaining terms ranging from two to 47 years. Most of these leases include one or more options to renew. The Company assesses these options using a threshold of reasonably certain, which also includes an assessment of the term of the Company's tenants' leases. For leases where renewal is reasonably certain, those option periods are included within the lease term and also the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset and liability. The ground lease arrangements do not contain any residual value guarantees or any material restrictions. As of March 31, 2019, the Company does not have any leases that have not commenced but that create significant rights and obligations.

The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate adjusted for related collateral based on the information available at adoption or the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The following table summarizes the future minimum lease payments under the ground lease obligations and the office lease at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, excluding contingent rent due under leases where the ground lease payment, or a portion thereof, is based on the level of the tenant's sales (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of EPR Properties (the “Company”, “EPR”, “we” or “us”). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,~~ 2018 filed with the SEC on ~~May 9, 2018.~~February 28, 2019.

Overview

Business

Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing Funds From Operations ("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, recreation and education 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. We also own certain recreation anchored lodging assets structured using traditional REIT lodging structures.

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 Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,~~ 2018 filed with the SEC on ~~May 9, 2018.~~February 28, 2019.

We group our investments into four reportable operating segments: Entertainment, Recreation, Education and Other. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, our total assets were approximately ~~$6.1~~$6.4 billion (after accumulated depreciation of approximately ~~$0.8~~$0.9 billion) which included investments in each of our four operating segments with properties located in 4342 states ~~the District of Columbia~~ and Ontario, Canada.

Our Entertainment segment included investments in ~~151~~157 megaplex theatre properties, seven entertainment retail centers (which include seven additional megaplex theatre properties) and 11 family entertainment centers. Our portfolio of owned entertainment properties consisted of ~~13.2~~13.7 million square feet and was 99% leased, including megaplex theatres that were 100% leased.

Our Recreation segment included investments in 12 ski areas, 2120 attractions, 3234 golf entertainment complexes and ~~ten~~13 other recreation facilities. Our portfolio of owned recreation properties was 100% leased.

Our Education segment included investments in 6356 public charter school properties, 69 early education centers and 1415 private schools. Our portfolio of owned education properties consisted of ~~4.7~~4.6 million square feet and was 98% leased.

Our Other segment consisted primarily of land under ground lease, property under development and land held for development related to the Resorts World Catskills ~~casino and resort~~ project in Sullivan County, New York.

The combined owned portfolio consisted of ~~21.2~~22.4 million square feet and was 99% leased. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had a total of approximately ~~$289.2~~$315.2 million invested in property under development.

Our total investments (a non-GAAP financial measure) were approximately ~~$6.7~~$7.0 billion at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. We define total investments as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties and rental properties held for sale (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), investment in direct financing leases, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets, gross (before accumulated amortization and included in other assets) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable (included in other assets). Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for the calculation of total investments and reconciliation of total investments to "Total assets" in the consolidated balance sheet at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

Of our total investments of ~~$6.7~~$7.0 billion at ~~September 30, 2018, $3.0~~March 31, 2019, $3.1 billion or 44% related to our Entertainment segment, ~~$2.1~~$2.3 billion or ~~32%~~33% related to our Recreation segment, $1.4 billion or ~~21%~~20% related to our Education segment and ~~$179.3~~$194.9 million or 3% related to our Other segment.

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.~~liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions, ~~estimating reserves for uncollectible~~assessing the collectibility of receivables and the impairment of mortgage and other notes ~~receivable, all of which are described as our critical accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.~~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. A summary of critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, there were no changes to critical accounting ~~policies.~~policies except as noted below.

Collectibility of Lease Receivables

Our 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. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our receivables on a lease by lease basis. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of our tenants, historical trends of the tenant and/or other debtor, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment terms. We suspend revenue recognition when the collectibility of amounts due are no longer probable and record a direct write-off of the receivable to revenue. Previously, we reduced our accounts receivable by an allowance for doubtful accounts and recorded bad debt expense included in property operating expenses when loss was probable.

Recent Developments and Capital Recycling

~~Debt Financing~~

~~On January 2, 2018, we prepaid in full a mortgage note payable totaling $11.7 million with an annual interest rate of 6.19%, which was secured by a theatre property.~~

Additionally, on February 28, 2018, we redeemed all of our outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due July 15, 2020. The notes were redeemed at a price equal to the principal amount of $250.0 million plus a premium calculated pursuant to the terms of the indenture of $28.6 million, together with accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including the redemption date of $2.3 million. In connection with the redemption, we recorded a non-cash write off of $3.3 million in deferred financing costs. The premium and non-cash write off were recognized as costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On April 16, 2018, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 15, 2028 pursuant to an underwritten public offering. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.95%. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year beginning on October 15, 2018 until the stated maturity date of April 15, 2028. The notes were issued at 98.883% of their face value and are unsecured. We used the net proceeds from the note offering of $391.8 million to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Investment Spending

Our investment spending during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 totaled ~~$355.0~~$174.6 million and included investments in each of our ~~primary~~ operating segments.

Property Dispositions

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, pursuant to tenant purchase options, we completed the sale of ~~three entertainment parcels~~two public charter schools located in ~~West Virginia~~Florida and ~~Illinois~~North Carolina for net proceeds totaling ~~$5.9~~$23.3 million. In connection with these sales, we recognized a gain on sale of ~~$0.9 million during~~$5.4 million.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018.~~

~~Pursuant to a tenant purchase option, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we completed the sale of one ~~public charter school located in California~~recreation property and four education properties for net proceeds totaling ~~$12.0~~$14.4 million and recognized a net gain on sale of ~~$1.9~~$0.9 million. ~~We also completed the sale of one early education center for net proceeds of $1.6 million. No gain or loss was recognized on this sale.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed the sale of four public charter schools, classified as investment in direct financing leases, and leased to Imagine Schools, Inc. for net proceeds of $43.4 million. Accordingly, we reduced our investment in direct financing leases, net, by $37.9 million, which included $31.6 million in original acquisition costs. A gain of $5.5 million was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Recreation Tenant Update~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Six Flags") completed their acquisition of the leasehold interest in five of our attraction properties which were previously operated by Premier Parks, LLC. As a result, Six Flags now operates six of our attraction properties representing approximately $176.2 million of net book value of assets at September 30, 2018.

As a result, we recorded the rental property at the carrying value, which approximated fair value of the mortgage note on the conversion date, and allocated this cost on a relative fair value basis. The properties are leased pursuant to a triple-net master leasedefinitive agreement with a ~~23-year remaining term.~~third party. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we extended the maturity

On March 11, 2018, we received payment in full on one mortgage note receivable of $1.5 million that was secured by land located in California. Additionally, on March 26, 2018, we received payment in full on one mortgage note receivable of $9.0 million that was secured by real estate in Washington. There were no prepayment fees received in connection with these note payoffs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received payment in full on the mortgage note receivable of $250.3 million from Och-Ziff Real Estate (OZRE) that was secured by 14 ski properties. In connection with the prepaymentdate of this note ~~we recognized prepayment fees totaling $65.9 million.~~from May 1, 2019 to June 1, 2019. The outstanding balance of these mortgage notes was $186.4 million at March 31, 2019.

On May 29, 2018, we received a partial prepayment of $8.0 million on one mortgage note receivable that is secured by the observation deck of the John Hancock Tower in Chicago, Illinois. In connection with the partial prepayment of this note, we recognized a prepayment fee of $1.4 million.

~~Cappelli Legal Settlement~~

On June 29, 2018, we entered into a settlement agreement with affiliates of Louis Cappelli (the "Cappelli Group") whereby each of the parties fully settled all disputes between and among them relating to previously disclosed litigation in which we were the defendant. The terms of the settlement agreement include, among other terms, a payment of $2.0 million to the plaintiffs, the mutual release of all parties, and the dismissal of the final pending New York state court case with prejudice. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid approximately $90 thousand in professional fees associated with the settlement. See Note 14 for further discussion related to the Cappelli Group legal settlement.

Early Childhood Education Tenant Update

~~As previously disclosed, certain subsidiaries of~~In February 2019, we entered into agreements (collectively, the "PSA") with Children's Learning Adventure USA ("~~CLA"~~CLA or "CLA Parent") ~~that are tenants~~and certain CLA subsidiaries (the "CLA Parties") providing for the purchase and sale of certain assets associated with the businesses located at the 21 operating CLA properties whereby we could nominate a third party operator to take an assignment and transfer of such assets from the CLA Parties and receive certain beneficial rights under various related ancillary agreements. Consideration provided by us for the asset transfers would include the release of past due rent obligations, previously fully reserved by us, and additional consideration of approximately $15.0 million which includes approximately $3.5 million for equipment used in the operations of our ~~leases (the "CLA Debtors") filed petitions in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 seeking the protections~~schools. The transfers of such assets are expected to close between May 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020 as closing conditions for each transfer are satisfied. The CLA Parties agreed to surrender possession of any of those properties that have not been transferred to a replacement operator prior to March 31, 2020 and agreed to continue leasing and operating each of the ~~U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On March 14, 2018,~~21 properties for an aggregate of approximately $1.0 million per month of minimum rent until the transfer of each property to our replacement tenant or surrender of the property.

Additionally, in February 2019, we ~~CLA, CLA Debtors and certain other CLA subsidiaries' operating properties owned by us (collectively, the "CLA Parties")~~ entered into new leases of all 21 operating CLA properties with Crème de la Crème ("Crème"), a national early childhood education operator. These leases are contingent upon us delivering possession of the properties and include different financial terms based on whether or not the CLA Parties deliver Crème the assets associated with the in-place operations of the school. The leases have 20-year terms that commence upon Crème beginning operations of the schools. Additionally, both us and Crème have early termination rights based on school level economic performance.

On February 27, 2019, CLA filed a ~~Stipulation~~motion with the Court seeking authorization of the sale of assets as required by the PSA. A condition to ~~Resolve Pending Motions (the "Stipulation")~~the parties’ obligations under the PSA was the Court’s approval of the motion. The Court held a hearing regarding such approval on April 10, 2019. At the hearing, the Court did not rule on the motion based upon objections from another landlord of CLA. To mitigate the risk that CLA Parent would file for bankruptcy protection and delay our transfer of the properties to Crème, we terminated the PSA on April 11, 2019. However, the lease of the properties to CLA Parent was not terminated and is expected to continue while each property is operated by it.

~~providing~~We have informed CLA Parent and the other landlord that ~~(a)~~we are willing to consider an overall agreement regarding the transfer of properties to Crème if CLA Parent and the other landlord can agree to cooperate. We understand that CLA Parent and the other landlord have not resolved those issues. However, we and CLA Parent have discussed a process that would provide for the continuation of the lease to CLA Parent and the transfer of the properties one at a time to Crème as it receives the necessary licenses and permits for each property. The terms for such transfers would be similar to those contained in the PSA, except that the CLA Parties would ~~pay monthly rent~~not be involved. We have determined that the exclusion of ~~$750 thousand for the months of March, April and May, and monthly rent of $1.0 million for the months of June and July, (b) resolution of restructuring of the leases between us and~~any assets held by the CLA Parties would not be ~~concluded~~material to the transfer of the operations of the properties to Crème.

CLA Parent continues to cooperate with Crème by providing access to facilities, staff and information. With this assistance, Crème has made substantial progress with its license applications and preparations to begin operating these schools later in 2019. This process must be undertaken on a state-by-state basis and is expected to be substantially complete before the end of 2019. There can be no ~~later than July 31, 2018 (the "Forbearance Period"), (c) relief from stay would~~assurance that Crème will timely obtain necessary licenses and permits, and therefore there can be ~~granted with respect~~no assurance as to ~~our properties as needed to implement~~ the ~~Stipulation, (d)~~outcome of the ~~parties would not commence~~contemplated transaction or prosecute litigation against any other party during the Forbearance Period, and (e) the deadline for any motion by the CLA Debtors to assume or reject the leases under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code would be extended to July 31, 2018. On May 7, 2018, the Court entered an order approving the Stipulation.

In July 2018, we entered into a new lease agreement with CLA related to 21 open schools which replaced the prior lease arrangements. The lease agreement provided for a one-month term for rent of $1.0 million that expired on August 31, 2018. We agreed to extend this lease for the months of September and October 2018 and the monthly rent of $1.0 million plus approximately $170 thousand for pro rata property taxes has been paid for each of these months. If the new lease is not further extended, CLA will be required to expeditiously vacate these properties, in which case the Company intends to leasewhether some or all of the ~~21 schools~~properties will be transferred to other operators. We had $248.4 million classified in rental properties, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 for these 21 schools and determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flow exceed the carrying values of these properties.

As part of this agreement, CLA also relinquished control of four of our properties that were still under development as we no longer intend to develop these properties for CLA. As a result, we revised our estimated undiscounted cash flows for these four properties, considering shorter expected holding periods, and determined that those estimated cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying values of these properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we obtained independent appraisals of these four properties and reduced the carrying value of these assets to $9.8 million, recording an impairment charge of $16.5 million. The charge is primarily related to the cost of improvements specific to the development of CLA’s prototype.

~~CLA continues to negotiate~~Crème with ~~third parties regarding a restructuring that would permit CLA to continue operation of the CLA properties.~~in-place operations. In addition, ~~we are actively pursuing other alternatives for these properties, including replacement tenants and operators. There~~there can be no ~~assurances as~~assurance that CLA Parent will continue to cooperate with Crème and provide access to personnel and information needed to acquire the ~~ultimate outcome~~operations of ~~such actions or our pursuit of our legal remedies with respect to~~ the ~~CLA~~ properties.

~~We fully reserved approximately $7.3 million and $6.0 million in receivables from CLA at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.~~ If we ~~receive payments~~are unable to transfer the properties to Crème with in-place operations, we intend to take possession of the properties and transfer them without operations. If some or all of the schools are not transferred to Crème with in-place operations, there will be a delay in re-opening such schools and a corresponding reduction in near term rents from ~~CLA in the future, we will recognize such payments on a cash basis until a successful restructuring is completed.~~Crème.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled ~~$38.6~~$39.7 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 compared to ~~$34.7~~$37.7 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. The ~~$3.9~~$2.0 million increase resulted primarily from acquisitions and developments completed in ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2018.~~2019. This increase was partially offset by property dispositions that occurred during ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2018.~~2019.

Gain on sale of real estate was ~~$2.2~~$6.3 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2018 and~~March 31, 2019 was related to the exercise of a tenant purchase option on a public charter school property as well as the gain on sale of one entertainment parcel. Gain on sale of real estate was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and related to the exercise of a tenant purchase option on a public charter school property.

Gain on sale of investment in direct financing leases was $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and related to the sale of four public charter school properties leased to Imagine. For further detail, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no gain on sale of investment in direct financing leases for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

~~Nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017~~

Rental revenue was $410.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $360.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase resulted primarily from $51.8 million of rental revenue related to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2018 and 2017 (including our transaction with CNL Lifestyle which closed on April 6, 2017) and conversion and reclassification of certain mortgage notes, and an increase of $4.3 million in rental revenue on existing properties. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rental revenue of $1.1 million relating to CLA and a decrease of $4.9 million in rental revenue from property dispositions. Percentage rents of $5.7 million and $4.7 million were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Straight-line rents of $7.0 million and $11.4 million were recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Tenant reimbursements of $11.4 million were recognized during both the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we renewed four lease agreements on approximately 240,809 square feet and funded or agreed to fund an average of $29.07 per square foot in tenant improvements. We experienced a decrease of approximately 1.7% in rental rates and paid no leasing commissions with respect to these renewals.

Mortgage and other financing income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $121.8 million compared to $65.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $56.8 million increase was primarily due to prepayment fees received in connection with prepayments on two mortgage notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaling $67.3 million. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail. These increases were partially offset by the conversion of a mortgage note secured by 28 early education properties to leased properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, six public charter school properties reclassified from direct financing leases to operating leases in 2017, other note payoffs during 2018 and 2017, as well as the sale of four public charter school properties classified as direct financing leases.

Our property operating expenses totaled $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $18.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These property operating expenses arise from the operations of our retail centers and other specialty properties. The $3.1 million increase resulted from higher property operating expenses at our multi-tenant properties, including an increase in bad debt expense.

Our general and administrative expense totaled $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $2.9 million related primarily to an increase in payroll and benefits costs, including share based compensation, as well as an increase in professional fees and franchise taxes.

Litigation settlement expense was $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and related to the settlement of our litigation with the Cappelli Group. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail. There was no litigation settlement expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $32.0 million and primarily related to the redemption of the 7.75% Senior Notes due 2020. Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.5 million and related primarily to the amendment to our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan.

Gain on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.0 million and related to a note payoff in advance of maturity that was initially recorded at fair value upon acquisition. There was no gain on early extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our net interest expense increased by $4.1 million to $102.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $97.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase resulted from an increase in average borrowings partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate used to finance our real estate acquisitions and fund our mortgage notes receivable.

Transaction costs totaled $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $1.7 million was due to an increase in potential and terminated transactions.

Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $16.5 million and related to two partially completed early education centers and two land parcels with site improvements. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statement included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information. Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $10.2 million and related to six charter school properties included in our investment in direct financing leases. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $113.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $95.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $18.0 million increase resulted primarily from

acquisitions and developments completed in 2017 and 2018, including our transaction with CNL Lifestyle which closed on April 6, 2017. This increase was partially offset by property dispositions that occurred during 2017 and 2018.

Gain on sale of real estate was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and related to the sale of three entertainment parcels and the exercise of a tenant purchase option on a public charter school property. Gain on sale of real estate was $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and related to the sale of four entertainment properties, the exercise of five tenant purchase options on public charter school properties as well as the net gain on sales of one recreation property and ~~the sale of two additional~~four education properties.

Gain on sale of investment in direct financing leases was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and related to the sale of four public charter school properties leased to Imagine. For further detail, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There was no gain on sale of ~~investment in direct financing leases~~real estate for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018.

Income tax benefit was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to income tax expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Approximately $1.0 million of the decrease related to lower deferred taxes due to the treatment of pre-opening costs for the indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at the Resorts World Catskills project in Sullivan County, New York as well as certain expenses related to our Canadian trust. The remaining approximately $0.6 million decrease related mainly to adjustments associated with tax reform provisions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were ~~$74.2~~$11.1 million at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. In addition, we had restricted cash of ~~$22.0~~$11.2 million at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Of the restricted cash at ~~September 30, 2018, $15.3~~March 31, 2019, $8.1 million related to cash held for our borrowers’ debt service reserves for mortgage notes receivable or tenants' off-season rent reserves and ~~$6.7~~$3.1 million primarily related to escrow deposits held for potential acquisitions and redevelopments.

Mortgage Debt, Senior Notes, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, ~~and~~ Unsecured Term Loan Facility and Equity Issuances

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had total debt outstanding of $3.0 billion of which 99% was unsecured.

At ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, we had outstanding $2.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes (excluding the private placement notes discussed below) ranging in interest rates from 4.50% to 5.75%. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause the ratio of our debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt which would cause the ratio of secured debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt which would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of our total unencumbered assets such that they are not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had noan outstanding balance of $70.0 million under our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points, which was ~~3.24%~~3.49% at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the unsecured term loan facility had a balance of $400.0 million with interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 110 basis points, which was ~~3.22%~~3.58% at ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt was fixed with interest rate swaps at 2.64% from July 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019. In addition, as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we have ~~entered into~~ interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 3.15% on an additional $50.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt from November 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019 and on $350.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt from April 6, 2019 to February 7, 2022. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate at 3.35% on the remaining $50.0 million of borrowings under the unsecured term loan facility from April 5, 2019 to February 7, 2022.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had outstanding $340.0 million of senior unsecured notes that were issued in a private placement transaction. The private placement notes were issued in two tranches with $148.0 million bearing interest at 4.35% and due August 22, 2024, and $192.0 million bearing interest at 4.56% and due August 22, 2026.

Our unsecured credit facilities and the private placement notes contain financial covenants or restrictions that limit our levels of consolidated debt, secured debt, investment levels outside certain categories and dividend distributions; and require us to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth and meet certain coverage levels for fixed charges and debt service. Additionally, these debt instruments contain cross-default provisions if we default under other indebtedness exceeding certain amounts. Those cross-default thresholds vary from $25.0 million to, in the case of the note purchase agreement governing the private placement notes, $75.0 million. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt instruments at ~~September 30, 2018.~~

March 31, 2019.

Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing entertainment, recreation and education properties. These investing activities ~~are~~have generally been financed with senior unsecured notes, 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 or incur new mortgage debt on existing properties. We may also issue equity securities in connection with ~~investing activities.~~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. We may also fund investments with the proceeds from asset dispositions.

Certain of our other long-term debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating performance as well as certain cross-default provisions. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 1,059,656 common shares under the direct share purchase component of our Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan ("DSPP") for total net proceeds of $78.6 million.

Liquidity Requirements

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders. We meet these requirements primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$400.9~~$122.4 million and ~~$314.7~~$109.0 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. Net ~~cash provided by investing activities was $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and net~~ cash used by investing activities was ~~$634.9~~$127.8 million and $106.9 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and net cash used by financing activities was ~~$371.5~~$20.8 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018 and net cash provided by financing activities was $326.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. We anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from asset dispositions will provide adequate liquidity to meet our financial commitments including to fund our operations, make interest and principal payments on our debt, and allow distributions to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.

Commitments

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had an aggregate of approximately ~~$84.4~~$83.0 million of commitments to fund development projects including 11seven entertainment development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately ~~$20.1~~$23.7 million, five recreation development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately ~~$51.1~~$38.3 million and ~~four~~five education development projects for which we had commitments to fund approximately ~~$13.2~~$21.0 million, of which approximately ~~$39.7~~$69.4 million ~~is expected to be funded in 2018 and~~of the ~~remainder is~~aggregate funding commitments are expected to be funded in 2019. Development costs are advanced by us in periodic draws. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we can discontinue funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

Additionally, as of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had a commitment to fund approximately ~~$203.7~~$206.9 million, of which ~~$129.5~~$178.8 million had been funded, to complete an indoor waterpark hotel and adventure park at ~~our casino and resort~~the Resorts World Catskills project in Sullivan County, New York. This project is expected to go into service in the second quarter of 2019. We ~~are~~were also responsible for the construction of the ~~casino and resort~~Resorts World Catskills project common infrastructure. In June 2016, the Sullivan County Infrastructure Local Development Corporation issued $110.0 million of Series 2016 Revenue Bonds which ~~is expected to fund~~funded a substantial portion of such construction costs. ~~We received reimbursements of $43.4 million and $23.9 million of construction costs during~~For the ~~year~~years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and ~~2017, respectively.~~2018, we received total reimbursements of $74.2 million of construction costs. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we received an additional reimbursement of ~~$6.9~~$11.5 million. Construction of infrastructure improvements ~~is currently expected to be~~was completed in ~~the remainder of~~ 2018.

We have certain commitments related to our mortgage note investments that we may be required to fund in the future. We are generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had ~~four~~three mortgage notes receivable with commitments

totaling approximately ~~$11.7~~$2.8 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

~~We have provided~~At December 31, 2018, we had $5.3 million in other assets and $16.1 million in other liabilities related to our payment guarantees of two economic development revenue bonds. During the ~~payment~~three months ended March 31, 2019, we prepaid in full one of ~~certain~~the two economic development revenue bonds totaling ~~$24.7~~$6.2 million and the other liability of the same amount related to our obligation to stand ready to perform under the terms of the guarantee was extinguished. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we exercised our collateral assignment rights under our Guaranty Fee Agreement and assumed the remaining economic development revenue bond totaling $18.6 million with a maturity date of December 22, 2047 and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points which was 3.99% at March 31, 2019. We took ownership of and recorded the leasehold interest and improvements for the theatre in Louisiana that secures the bond at fair value which approximated $14.0 million at March 31, 2019. The other asset of $5.3 million and other liability of $9.9 million related to ~~two theatres in Louisiana for which we earn a fee at an annual rate of 4.00% over~~our obligation to stand ready to perform under the ~~30-year~~ terms of the ~~related bonds. We~~guarantee were extinguished. No gain or loss was recognized on these transactions. At March 31, 2019,we do not have ~~recorded $13.3 million as a deferred asset included in other~~any remaining guarantee assets and $13.3 million included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 related to these guarantees. No amounts have been accrued as a loss contingency related to these guarantees because payment by us is not probable.or liabilities.

In connection with construction of our development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that our obligations are satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had ~~five~~four surety bonds outstanding totaling ~~$22.5~~$50.7 million.

Liquidity Analysis

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

We have no debt payments due until 2022. Our sources of liquidity as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 to pay the ~~2018~~2019 commitments described above include the amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility of ~~$1.0 billion~~$930.0 million at ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, as well as unrestricted cash on hand of ~~$74.2~~$11.1 million. Accordingly, while there can be no assurance, we expect that our sources of cash will exceed our existing commitments over the remainder of ~~2018.~~2019.

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

Our primary use of cash after paying operating expenses, debt service, distributions to shareholders and funding existing commitments is in growing our investment portfolio through the acquisition, development and financing of additional properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, as well as debt and equity financing alternatives or proceeds from asset dispositions. 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. We may also assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions.

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 as measured primarily by our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definitions). We also seek to maintain conservative interest, fixed charge, debt service coverage and net debt to gross asset ratios.

We expect to maintain our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio between 4.6x to 5.6x. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was ~~5.3x~~5.7x as of ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 (see "Non-GAAP financial measures" for calculation). Because adjusted EBITDA as defined does not include the annualization of adjustments for projects put in service or acquired during the quarter and other items, and net debt includes the debt provided for build-to-suit projects under development that do not have any current EBITDA, we also look at a ratio adjusted for these items. The level of this additional ratio, along with the timing and size of our equity and debt offerings as well as dispositions, may cause us to temporarily operate outside our stated range for the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.6x to 5.6x.

At March 31, 2019, our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio was slightly in excess of our normal range due to a $79.3 million acquisition of four theatre properties that occurred on March 29, 2019 as well as anticipated disposition proceeds of approximately $190.0 million expected to be received in the second quarter of 2019 related to one of our mortgage notes secured by three attraction properties. It is anticipated that the June 30, 2019 net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio will revert to the normal expected range.

Our net debt (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definition) to gross assets ratio (i.e. net debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation less cash and cash equivalents) was 42% as of ~~September 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Our net debt as a percentage of our total market capitalization at ~~September 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 was ~~35%~~33%. We calculate our total market capitalization of ~~$8.4~~$9.2 billion by aggregating the following at ~~September 30, 2018:~~March 31, 2019:

Common shares outstanding of ~~74,336,986~~75,483,279 multiplied by the last reported sales price of our common shares on the NYSE of ~~$68.41~~$76.90 per share, or ~~$5.1~~$5.8 billion;

Aggregate liquidation value of our Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares of ~~$135.0~~$134.9 million;

Aggregate liquidation value of our Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares of $86.2 million;

Aggregate liquidation value of our Series G redeemable preferred shares of $150.0 million; and

Net debt of ~~$2.9~~$3.1 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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~~disposition of ~~depreciable operating properties~~real estate and impairment losses ~~of depreciable~~on 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, ~~retirement~~ severance expense, litigation settlement expense, preferred share redemption costs, termination fees associated with tenants' exercises of public charter school buy-out options, impairment of direct financing leases (allowance for lease loss portion) and provision for loan losses and subtracting gain on early extinguishment of debt, gain ~~(loss) on sale of land, gain~~ on insurance recovery 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 three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ and reconciles such measures to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (unaudited, in thousands, except per share information):

Net Debt

Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. We believe this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. Our method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

EBITDAre

NAREIT developed EBITDAre as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of REITs, independent of a company's capital structure, to provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company. Pursuant to the definition of EBITDAre by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate EBITDAre as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from ~~sales~~disposition of ~~depreciable operating properties,~~real estate, impairment losses ~~of depreciable~~on real estate, costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates.

Management provides EBITDAre herein because it believes this information is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure as it can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. EBITDAre does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and that it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDAre (defined above) excluding gain on insurance recovery, ~~retirement~~ severance expense, litigation settlement expense, impairment of direct financing lease (allowance for lease loss portion), the provision for loan losses, transaction costs and prepayment fees, and which is then multiplied by four to get an annual amount.

Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. We believe that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. Our method of calculating Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Reconciliations of debt and net income available to common shareholders (both reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands):

Total Investments

Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the sum of the carrying values of rental properties (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable (including related accrued interest receivable), investment in a direct financing leases, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets, gross (before accumulated amortization and included in other assets) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net (included in other assets). Total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories the Company's funds have been invested. Our method of calculating total investments may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of total investments to total assets (computed in accordance with GAAP) is included in the following table (unaudited, in thousands):

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the ~~consolidated financial statements~~Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on the impact of recently issued accounting standards on our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we had a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with noa $70.0 million outstanding balance and ~~$25.0~~$43.6 million in bonds, all of which bear interest at a floating rate. We also had a $400.0 million unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at a floating rate based on ~~LIBOR. As of September 30, 2018, we had two~~LIBOR but which has subsequently been fixed through interest rate swap agreements as discussed above under "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

As of March 31, 2019, we had a 65% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures related to ~~fix~~two recreation anchored lodging properties located in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. At March 31, 2019, the joint venture had an $85.0 million secured mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $61.2 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 6.00% or LIBOR plus 3.75%. On March 28, 2019, the joint venture entered into an interest rate cap agreement to limit the variable portion of the interest rate (LIBOR) on this note at ~~2.64% on $300.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt~~3.0% from ~~July 6, 2017~~March 28, 2019 to April 5, 2019. Additionally, as of September 30, 2018, we had three interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at 3.15% on $50.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt from November 6, 2017 to April 5, 2019 and on $350.0 million of this LIBOR-based debt from April 6, 2019 to February 7, 2022.1, 2023.

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.

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 a cross currency swap with a fixed original notional value of $100.0 million CAD and $79.5 million U.S. The net effect of this swap was to lock in an exchange rate of $1.26 CAD per U.S. dollar on approximately $13.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows on the properties through June 2020. There was no initial or final exchange of the notional amounts on this swap. These foreign currency derivatives should hedge a significant portion of our expected CAD denominated FFO of these four Canadian properties through June 2020 as their impact on our reported FFO when settled moved 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 two fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps, ~~designated as net investment hedges effective July 1, 2018~~ with a ~~total~~ fixed notional value of $200.0 million ~~CAD and $151.6 million USD with a maturity date of~~CAD. These investments became effective on July 1, ~~2023. Included in this~~2018, mature on July 1, 2023 and are designated as net investment hedges of our Canadian net investments. The net effect of this hedge ~~we locked~~is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.32 CAD per U.S. dollar on ~~approximately~~$200.0 million CAD of our foreign net investments. The cross-currency swaps also have a monthly settlement feature locked in at an exchange rate of $1.32 CAD per USD on $4.5 million of ~~additional~~CAD annual ~~CAD denominated~~ cash flows, on the ~~properties through July 1, 2023.~~net effect of which is an excluded component from the effectiveness testing of this hedge.

On June 29, 2018, we de-designated two CAD to USD currency forward agreements in conjunction with entering into new agreements, described above, effectively terminating the currency forward agreements. These contracts were previously designated as net investment hedges. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we received $30.8 million of cash in connection with the settlement of the CAD to USD currency forward agreements. The corresponding change in value of the forward contracts for the period from inception through de-designation of $30.8 million is reported in AOCI and will be reclassified into earnings upon a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment in our four Canadian properties.

For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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

Effective January 1, ~~2018,~~2019, we adopted ASC ~~606~~842 ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customer~~ ~~and ASC 610-20~~ ~~Other Income: Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets~~Leases. Except for the enhancements to the Company's internal control over financial reporting in relation to our adoption of these standards, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to certain claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. In the opinion of management, any liability we might incur upon the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Early Childhood Education Tenant

During 2017, CLA's cash flow was negatively impacted by challenges brought on by its rapid expansion and related ramp up to stabilization and by adverse weather conditions in Texas during the third quarter of 2017. As a result, CLA initiated negotiations with the Company and other landlords regarding a potential restructuring. Although negotiations are on-going and progress has been made toward a restructuring. However, CLA did not secure the investments necessary to accomplish the restructuring. As a result, the Company sent CLA notices of lease termination on October 12, 2017 for the following CLA properties: (i) Broomfield, Colorado, (ii) Ashburn, Virginia, (iii) West Chester, Ohio, (iv) Chanhassen, Minnesota, (v) Ellisville, Missouri, (vi) Farm Road-Las Vegas, Nevada, (vii) Fishers, Indiana, (viii) Tredyffrin, Pennsylvania, and (ix) Westerville, Ohio.

On December 18, 2017, ten subsidiaries (the "CLA Debtors") of ~~CLA~~Children's Learning Adventure USA, LLC ("CLA" or "CLA Parent") filed separate voluntary petitions for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona ("Court") (Jointly Administered under Case No. 2:17-bk-14851-BMW). The CLA Debtors in those cases consist of CLA Properties SPE, LLC, CLA Maple Grove, LLC, CLA Carmel, LLC, CLA West Chester, LLC, CLA One Loudoun, LLC, LLC, CLA Fishers, LLC, CLA Chanhassen, LLC, CLA Ellisville, LLC, CLA Farm, LLC, and CLA Westerville, LLC. CLA Parent has not filed a petition for bankruptcy. The CLA Debtors include each of the Company's direct or indirect tenants on 24 out of the Company's 25 CLA properties, including 21 operating properties, two partially completed properties and one unimproved land parcel. The only CLA tenant unaffected by the bankruptcy is CLA King of Prussia, LLC, which is the CLA tenant entity for an unimproved land parcel located in Tredyffrin, Pennsylvania. This property was one of the two properties sold in February 2019 as further discussed below. It is the Company's

understanding that the CLA Debtors filed bankruptcy petitions to stay the termination of the remaining CLA leases and delay the eviction process.

On January 8, 2018, the Company filed with the Court (i) motions seeking rent for the post-petition period beginning on December 18, 2017, and (ii) motions seeking relief from the automatic stay seeking the right to terminate the remaining leases and evict the CLA Debtors from the properties. On March 14, 2018, CLA Parent, the CLA ~~Parties~~Debtors and certain other CLA subsidiaries (collectively, the "CLA Parties") and the Company entered into a Stipulation providing that (a) the CLA Parties would pay ~~monthly~~ rent for the months of March ~~April, May, June and~~through July ~~in the amounts~~2018 for an aggregate total of ~~$750 thousand, $750 thousand, $750 thousand, $1.0~~$4.3 million, ~~and $1.0 million, respectively,~~ (b) resolution of restructuring of the leases between the Company and the CLA Parties would be concluded no later than July 31, 2018 (the ~~Forbearance Period)~~"Forbearance Period"), (c) relief from stay would be granted with respect to the Company’s properties as needed to implement the Stipulation, (d) the parties would not commence or prosecute litigation against any other party during the Forbearance Period, and (e) the deadline for any motion by the CLA Debtors to assume or reject the leases under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code would be extended to July 31, 2018. On May 7, 2018, the Court entered an order approving the Stipulation. The CLA Parties made all of the rent payments required by the Stipulation.

InThe CLA Debtors did not assume the leases by July 31, 2018, and the Company entered into a new lease agreement with CLA Parent related to the 21 operating properties which replaced the prior lease ~~arrangements.~~arrangements and continued on a month-to-month basis. The lease agreement provided for a ~~one-month term for rent of $1.0 million that expired on August 31, 2018. The Company agreed to extend this lease for the months of September and October and the~~ monthly rent of $1.0 million plus approximately $170 thousand for ~~pro rata~~pro-rata property ~~taxes has been paid for each of these months.~~taxes. The ~~Company may agree to further extend this lease, in its sole discretion, if the Company believes~~ CLA is making adequate progress towards a satisfactory restructuring. If the new lease is not extended, CLA will be required to expeditiously vacate these properties, in which case the Company intends to lease some or all of the 21 schools to other operators. CLA alsoParties relinquished control of ~~the~~ four properties that were still under development as the Company no longer ~~intends~~intended to develop these properties. Two of these properties were sold in February 2019.

In February 2019, the CLA Parties and the Company entered into agreements (collectively, the "PSA") providing for the purchase and sale of certain assets associated with the businesses located at the 21 operating CLA properties whereby the Company could nominate a third party operator to take an assignment and transfer of such assets from the CLA Parties and receive certain beneficial rights under various related ancillary agreements. Consideration provided by the Company for the asset transfers would include the release of past due rent obligations, previously fully reserved by the Company, and additional consideration of approximately $15.0 million which includes approximately $3.5 million for equipment used in the operations of the Company's schools. The transfers of such assets were expected to close between May 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020 as closing conditions for each transfer are satisfied. The CLA Parties agreed to surrender possession of any of those properties that have not been transferred to a replacement operator prior to March 31, 2020 and agreed to continue leasing and operating each of the 21 properties for an aggregate of approximately $1.0 million per month of minimum rent until the transfer of each property to the Company’s replacement tenant or surrender of the property.

Additionally, in February 2019, the Company entered into new leases of all 21 operating CLA properties with Crème de la Crème ("Crème"), a national early childhood education operator. These leases are contingent upon the Company delivering possession of the properties and include different financial terms based on whether or not the CLA Parties deliver Crème the assets associated with the in-place operations of the school. The leases have 20-year terms that commence upon Crème beginning operations of the schools. Additionally, Crème and the Company each have early termination rights based on school level economic performance.

The Company has informed CLA Parent and the other landlord that it is willing to consider an overall agreement regarding the transfer of properties to Crème if CLA Parent and the other landlord can agree to cooperate. The Company understands that CLA Parent and the other landlord have not resolved those issues. However, the Company and CLA Parent have discussed a process that would provide for the continuation of the lease to CLA Parent and the transfer of the properties one at a time to Crème as it receives the necessary licenses and permits for each property. The terms for such transfers would be similar to those contained in the PSA, except that the CLA Debtors would not be involved.

The Company has determined that the exclusion of any assets held by the CLA Debtors would not be material to the transfer of the operations of the properties to Crème.
