NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1). ORGANIZATION

Entertainment Properties Trust (the "Company") is a Maryland real estate
investment trust (REIT) organized on August 29, 1997. The Company was formed to
acquire and develop entertainment properties including megaplex theatres and
entertainment-themed retail centers.

2). SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2000.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entertainment
Properties Trust and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, EPT DownReit, Inc., EPT
DownReit II, Inc. and 3 Theatres, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ significantly from
such estimates and assumptions.

3). PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company purchased
the Consolidated Cary Crossroads 20 screen megaplex theatre for an aggregate
purchase price of $14.6 million. In addition, the Company purchased the AMC
Palm Promenade 24 screen theatre for an aggregate purchase price of $17.8
million. The Company also made tenant improvement contributions allocated to
pad site developments it owns and leases to restaurant operators. These
properties are subject to lease arrangements generally consistent with the
lease terms of the Company's other rental properties.



<PAGE>   6

4). REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURE

On May 11, 2000, the Company completed the formation of a joint venture
with Atlantic of Hamburg, Germany ("Atlantic"), whereby the Company contributed
the AMC Cantera theatre with a carrying value of $33.5 million in exchange for
cash proceeds from mortgage financing of $17.85 million and a 100% interest in
the joint venture. The Company subsequently sold to Atlantic a 10% initial
interest in exchange for $1.4 million in cash. It is expected that Atlantic
will acquire up to an additional 70% interest in the joint venture by selling
securities to German investors, with the proceeds of those sales to be
contributed to the venture and then paid to the Company in reduction of its
interest. The Company accounts for its investment in the real estate joint
venture under the equity method of accounting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company included in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated
financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, anticipated capital
expenditures, performance of leases by tenants, shareholder returns and other
matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently
known. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the
anticipated results and other expectations expressed in the Company's
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors including but not
limited to those discussed in this Item and Item I - Business, in the Company's
Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 incorporated by
reference herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals and income from a
joint ventures, were $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase was due primarily to the acquisition of three rental properties
subsequent to September 30, 1999.

General and administrative expense totaled $0.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The decrease was due primarily to reduced travel and
shareholder related expenses and reduced personnel costs related to the
Company's Los Angeles, California office which was closed in December 1999.

Net interest expense totaled $4.8 million for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to net interest expense of $3.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. The $1.5 million increase in net interest expense
resulted primarily from an increase in long-term debt incurred pertaining to
the property acquisitions made subsequent to September 30, 1999 ($0.9 million)
and the impact of higher interest rates and amendment fees on the variable rate
portion of the Company's debt ($0.6 million).

Depreciation and amortization expense was $2.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase of $0.1 million resulted from the additional
property acquisitions made subsequent to September 30, 1999.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $5.9 million or
$0.40 per diluted share as compared to $6.2 million or $0.41 per diluted share
for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The decline in net income was
primarily due to the increase in interest expense.

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

Revenues totaled $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase of $5.7 million was due to the acquisition of three rental properties
subsequent to September 30, 1999 ($4.0 million), and increases in joint venture
activity, contractual increases in base rents, a full nine months of rent for
properties purchased during the first nine months of 1999 and the impact of
properties contributed to non-consolidated joint ventures ($1.7 million).

General and administrative expense totaled $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The decrease of $0.3 million was
due primarily to reduced personnel costs related to the Company's Los Angeles,
California office which was closed in December 1999.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $7.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization resulted
from the mid-year property acquisitions made during 1999 and property
acquisitions made subsequent to September 30, 1999.

Net interest expense totaled $13.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to net interest expense of $9.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The increase of $4.0 million in interest expense
resulted from the increase in long-term debt incurred as a result of property
acquisitions made during 1999 and 2000 ($3.0 million) and increases in the
variable rate portion of the Company's debt ($1.0 million).

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $18.6 million or
$1.25 per diluted share as compared to $17.1 million or $1.19 per diluted share
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $7.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents, secured mortgage indebtedness of approximately $126 million, and
unsecured indebtedness of $118 million under the Bank Credit Facility. The $244
million aggregate principal amount of mortgage and unsecured indebtedness bears
interest at a weighted average rate of 8.12%.

On September 11, 2000 the Company amended the Bank Credit Facility to eliminate
and modify restrictive covenants on the amount of secured indebtedness that can
be obtained by the Company in exchange for reducing the size of the Facility
from $150 million to $127 million, increasing the cost of borrowings under the
Facility, and securing the Facility with a first mortgage on 13 properties. As
of September 30, 2000, the Company had drawn $118 million under the $127 million
Bank Credit Facility.

The Company anticipates that its cash from operations, credit available under
the Bank Credit Facility and funds from the Atlantic joint venture discussed
above will provide adequate liquidity to conduct its operations, fund
administrative and operating costs, interest payments, planned property
development costs, allow distributions to the Company's shareholders in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements for qualification as a REIT
and to avoid any corporate level federal income tax or excise tax.

Future acquisitions will be made pursuant to the Company's investment objectives
and policies to maximize both current income and long-term growth in income. As
acquisition opportunities are presented that would cause the Company to exhaust
its equity capital and any available credit under the Bank Credit Facility, the
Company intends to consider: (i) entering into additional joint ventures with
other investors to acquire or develop properties; (ii) issuing Company
securities in exchange for properties; and/or (iii) conducting a public offering
or direct placement of the Company's securities designed to raise capital for
acquisitions and/or reduce borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility. There can
be no assurance these objectives can be achieved. See the December 31, 1999
annual report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company's capitalization
strategies

<PAGE>   8


and capital requirements for future growth and Item 1 - Business, in
that report for a discussion of Risk Factors that may affect our ability to
raise additional capital.

Two of the Companies theatre properties are leased and operated by Edwards
Theatre Circuits, Inc., which filed for bankruptcy on August 23, 2000. The
Company has received all rent due and payable on a timely basis and expects the
leases to be affirmed by the tenant during the bankruptcy proceedings.

Recent adverse conditions in the motion picture exhibition industry (including
the effects of obsolete multiplex theatres and the costs of building megaplex
theatres on exhibitor's operating results and financial statements) and
resulting pressures on the share prices of the publicly-held theatre operators
may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing on favorable
terms in the near term. The company believes that long-term prospects for the
leading theatre operators remain positive and that the fundamentals of its
investment and leasing strategies remain sound.

The Company's liquidity requirements with respect to future acquisitions may be
reduced to the extent the Company is able to use common Shares as consideration
for such purchases. Accordingly, the Company has filed a registration statement
on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 5,000,000
Shares for issuance in exchange for the acquisition of additional properties as
such opportunities may arise. None of these Shares have been issued as of the
date of this report.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

The Company believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical
consolidated operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net
income as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements. FFO is considered
by management as an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity 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 net income, which includes non-cash
expenses, such as depreciation. FFO is generally defined as net income plus
certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation of real estate properties.

The following tables summarize the Company's FFO for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 (in thousands
except per Share data):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses
due to changes in interest rates on long-term debt. The Company seeks 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.

The Company is 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 the Company's borrowings are subject to mortgages or contractual
agreements which limit the amount of indebtedness the Company may incur.
Accordingly, if the Company is unable to raise additional equity or borrow money
due to these limitations, the Company's ability to acquire additional properties
may be limited.
