Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The preceding consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Entertainment Properties Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
EPT DownREIT, Inc and EPT DownREIT II, Inc. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
LINE OF CREDIT

At June 30, 1998, the Company had borrowings of $21 million under
its revolving credit facility with additional availability under
the facility of $129 million. During the quarter management
reduced the total available credit under this facility from $200
million to $150 million. This voluntary reduction was done as a
result of, and simultaneous to, the closing of the long-term
secured credit facility described below.

LONG-TERM SECURED CREDIT FACILITY

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company, through EPT
DownREIT II, Inc., a newly formed subsidiary, closed a $105
million long-term secured credit facility for which it pledged
eight of its megaplex theatre properties as collateral.
Borrowings under the new facility are amortized over a 30-year
period with principle and interest payable monthly at a coupon
rate of 6.77% and an effective rate of 7.07% adjusted for
amortization of capitalized debt acquisition costs and the
deferred hedging loss. The properties pledged as collateral
under the facility include: Grand 24, Dallas, Texas; Mission
Valley 20, San Diego, California; Promenade 16, Los Angeles,
California; Ontario Mills 30, Los Angeles, California; Huebner
Oaks, San Antonio, Texas; Lennox 24, Columbus, Ohio; West Olive
16, St. Louis, Missouri; and Studio 30, Houston, Texas. After
ten years, all cash flows from the properties pledged as
collateral are required to be applied to the repayment of
principal under the facility.

FILINGS MADE WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company began operations concurrent with its initial public
offering on November 18, 1997. Consequently, there was no
activity from prior fiscal year periods with which to compare.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company
had net income of $4.68 million or $0.34 per share on rental
revenue of $8.62 million or $0.62 per share as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 in which the Company had net income
of $4.58 million or $0.33 per share on rental revenue of $6.29
million or $0.45 per share.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
were $6.42 million or $0.46 per share as compared to $5.87
million or $0.42 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

Increases in revenue, net income, and FFO resulted from
acquisitions during the three-month period ended June 30, 1998,
as well as acquisitions made mid-period during the previous
quarter.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had acquired all of the Initial
Properties identified in the Company's prospectus prepared in
connection with its initial public offering, as well as four of
the five Option Properties identified in the Company's
prospectus.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 the Company
acquired two properties as follows.

On April 20, 1998, the Company acquired the Mesquite 30 megaplex
theatre from AMC Entertainment Inc. (or its subsidiaries.)
Mesquite is a 30 screen theatre located in Dallas, Texas, capable
of seating approximately 6,000. The purchase price was $23.2
million. Additionally, two pad sites adjacent to the theatre
property were acquired for $1.5 million. These pad sites will be
marketed on a ground lease or build-to-suit basis to businesses
which are complimentary to the movie going experience, such as
restaurants. First year rental on this megaplex theatre will
approximate $2.4 million.

On June 30, 1998, the Company acquired the Hampton Town Center 24
megaplex theatre from AMC Entertainment Inc. (or its
subsidiaries). Hampton Town Center 24 is located in Norfolk,
Virginia. The theatre seats approximately 5,098 in 107,396
square feet. The purchase price was $28.5 million. First year
rental on this megaplex theatre will approximate $2.99 million.

The lease terms on the two properties mentioned above include a
15 year term with four 5-year options and annual rental
escalators equal to the lesser of 2% or the consumer price index.
Each lease also has a percentage rent feature that begins at a 6%
natural break subject to certain adjustments. Each lease is a
triple net lease requiring the lessee to pay all ongoing and
capital costs during the lease term including taxes and other
governmental charges, insurance, utilities, service, maintenance
and any ground lease payments.

The Company believes it will complete the acquisition of the
remaining Option Property described in its initial public
offering prospectus. The remaining megaplex theatre property
under contract is the Livonia 20 megaplex theatre located in
suburban Detroit, Michigan. The purchase price for Livonia 20 is
estimated to be approximately $27.5 million.

On June 29, 1998, the Company announced that it had signed a
definitive agreement with Real Estate Innovations, L.L.C. to
acquire its Raleigh Grand 16 megaplex theatre in Raleigh, North
Carolina for $8.375 million. In addition to the Raleigh Grand
16, the agreement includes the acquisition of three additional
megaplex theatres valued at $36.6 million. These theatres will
be operated by Consolidated Theatres.
Consolidated Theatres, based in Charlotte, North Carolina is a
regional movie exhibitor that operates six theatres with more
than 60 screens. It has more than 120 screens in development
throughout the southeast.

On July 10, 1998, the Company announced it had signed a
definitive agreement with Pompano Development Partners to acquire
its Pompano 18 megaplex theatre in Pompano Beach, Florida for
approximately $16 million. The agreement also contemplates the
acquisition of six additional megaplex theatres to be developed
over the next two years with an estimated value of $120 million.
Subsequently, on August 10, 1998, the Company acquired the
Pompano 18 megaplex theatre.

Pompano 18 is leased to Muvico Theatres Inc., a regional movie
exhibitor based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Muvico operates
seven theatres with 55 screens in Florida and has 250 screens
under development throughout the southeast.

On July 22, 1998, the Company announced it has signed a
definitive agreement with Sofran Powder Springs, Limited
Partnership to acquire the Powder Springs 22-screen, 5,100 seat
megaplex theatre in suburban Atlanta, Georgia for $15.5 million.
The purchase price includes three additional land parcels
adjacent to the theatre property.

The Powder Springs 22-screen theatre will be operated by Regal
Cinemas, based in Knoxville, Tennessee. According to publicly
available information, Regal Cinemas is a national movie
exhibitor that operates over 250 theatres in 28 states with more
than 2,400 screens.

The Company continues to see significant opportunities with a
number of megaplex theatres and other entertainment related real
estate properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $17.24 million in cash and
had drawn $21 million on its revolving line of credit in
conjunction with its acquisition of the Hampton Town Center
megaplex theatre.

The Company anticipates that its cash from operations and credit
available under the Revolving Credit Facility will provide
adequate liquidity to conduct its operations, fund administrative
and operating costs, interest payments and additional planned
property acquisitions, and allow distributions to the Company's
shareholders and avoidance of corporate level federal income or
excise tax in accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements
for qualification as a REIT.

Should opportunities be presented for property acquisitions
consistent with the Company's investment objectives that would
cause the Company to exhaust its available credit under the
Revolving Credit Facility, the Company intends to consider: (i)
making certain property acquisitions utilizing additional
issuance of the Company's securities as consideration in the
transaction(s); and (ii) conducting a secondary offering of
Shares which would be designed to raise capital for current
acquisition needs and reduce borrowings under the Bank Credit
Facility, thereby replenishing the available credit for future
acquisitions.

OTHER DATA

The Company believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of
the historical consolidated operating results, funds from
operations (FFO) should be examined in conjunction with net
income as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Funds from operations is considered by management as an
appropriate measure of the performance of an equity real estate
investment trust (REIT) because it is predicated on cash flow
analysis, which management believes is more reflective of the
value of real estate companies such as the Company rather than a
measure predicated on expenditures such as depreciation. FFO is
generally defined as net income plus certain non-cash items,
primarily depreciation of real estate properties. The following
table summarizes the Company's FFO for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and the three-months ended March 31,
1998:
Six Months        Three Months   Three Months

FFO $12,286 $6,420 $5,866

Basic and diluted FFO
per share $ .89 $ .46 $ .42

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. The Company's only computer software, other
than standard office automation software is its accounting
software. The third party vendor of the Company's accounting
software has certified that the system is year 2000 compliant.

There are significant third parties on which the Company's
operations are dependent or which provide the Company with
information. There can be no assurance the systems of other
companies on which the Company relies will be year 2000 compliant
on a timely basis and thus no assurance such companies' systems
would not have an adverse effect on the Company's business or
operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.

During the period ended June 30, 1998, the Company closed a
long-term secured credit facility, at which time it settled its
hedging position that it had entered to "lock in" an attractive
rate. During the term of the hedge, market rates fell resulting
in a hedge loss of $1.4 million. This hedge loss will be
amortized over the effective life of the long-term secured credit
facility.

The Company has entered into a hedging instrument in compliance
with its revolving credit facility. This hedging instrument is
for a notional value of $20 million and protects the Company
should London interbank offer rates rise above 9.25%. The
Company has no exposure under this hedging instrument should
rates fall.
