Rating Action:

Moody's Upgrades Four Classes and Affirms Three Classes of An Affiliate of Entertainment Properties Trust 2003-EPR

22 Apr 2011

Approximately $110.8 Million of Structured Securities Affected

New York, April 22, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) upgraded the ratings of four classes of An Affiliate of Entertainment Properties Trust, Commercial Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2003-EPR. Moody's also affirmed three classes. Moody's rating action is as follows:

Cl. A-1, Affirmed at Aaa (sf); previously on Feb 24, 2003 Definitive Rating Assigned Aaa (sf)

Cl. A-2, Affirmed at Aaa (sf); previously on Feb 24, 2003 Definitive Rating Assigned Aaa (sf)

Cl. B, Affirmed at Aaa (sf); previously on Jun 17, 2010 Upgraded to Aaa (sf)

Cl. C, Upgraded to Aa1 (sf); previously on Jun 17, 2010 Upgraded to Aa2 (sf)

Cl. D, Upgraded to Aa2 (sf); previously on Jun 17, 2010 Upgraded to Aa3 (sf)

Cl. E, Upgraded to A1 (sf); previously on Jun 17, 2010 Upgraded to A2 (sf)

Cl. F, Upgraded to A3 (sf); previously on Jun 17, 2010 Upgraded to Baa1 (sf)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The upgrades and affirmations are based on the quality of the collateral, the credit enhancement furnished by the subordinate tranches, and the structural and legal integrity of the transaction, along with key parameters, including Moody's loan to value (LTV) ratio and Moody's stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) remaining within acceptable ranges.

Moody's analysis reflects a forward-looking view of the likely range of collateral performance over the medium term. From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change these expectations. Performance that falls outside an acceptable range of the key parameters may indicate that the collateral's credit quality is stronger or weaker than Moody's had anticipated during the current review. Even so, deviation from the expected range will not necessarily result in a rating action. There may be mitigating or offsetting factors to an improvement or decline in collateral performance, such as increased subordination levels due to amortization and loan payoffs or a decline in subordination due to realized losses.

Primary sources of assumption uncertainty are the current sluggish macroeconomic environment and varying performance in the commercial real estate property markets. However, Moody's expects to see increasing or stabilizing property values, higher transaction volumes, a slowing in the pace of loan delinquencies and greater liquidity for commercial real estate in 2011. The hotel and multifamily sectors are continuing to show signs of recovery, while recovery in the office and retail sectors will be tied to recovery of the broader economy. The availability of debt capital continues to improve with terms returning toward market norms. Moody's central global macroeconomic scenario reflects an overall sluggish recovery through 2012, amidst ongoing individual, corporate and governmental deleveraging, persistent unemployment, and government budget considerations.

The principal methodology used in this rating was "CMBS: Moody's Approach to Rating Large Loan/Single Borrower Transactions", published in July 2000.

Moody's review incorporated the use of the excel-based CMBS Large Loan Model v 8.0 which is used for both large loan and single borrower transactions. The large loan model derives credit enhancement levels based on an aggregation of adjusted loan level proceeds derived from Moody's loan level LTV ratios. Major adjustments to determining proceeds include leverage, loan structure, property type, and sponsorship. These aggregated proceeds are then further adjusted for any pooling benefits associated with loan level diversity, other concentrations and correlations. The model also incorporates a supplementary tool to allow for the testing of the credit support at various rating levels. The scenario or "blow-up" analysis tests the credit support for a rating assuming that loans in the pool default with an average loss severity that is commensurate with the rating level being tested.

Moody's ratings are determined by a committee process that considers both quantitative and qualitative factors. Therefore, the rating outcome may differ from the model output.

The rating action is a result of Moody's on-going surveillance of commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) transactions. Moody's monitors transactions on a monthly basis through two sets of quantitative tools -- MOST® (Moody's Surveillance Trends) and CMM (Commercial Mortgage Metrics) on Trepp -- and on a periodic basis through a comprehensive review. Moody's prior full review is summarized in a press release dated June 17, 2010. Please see the ratings tab on the issuer / entity page on moodys.com for the last rating action and the ratings history.

Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments related to the monitoring of this transaction in the past six months.

DEAL PERFORMANCE

As of the April 15, 2011 Payment Date, the transaction's certificate balance has decreased by approximately 29% to $110.8 million from $155.5 million at securitization due to loan amortization based on a 20-year amortization schedule. The Certificates are collateralized by a single mortgage loan. The collateral for the transaction consists of 15 stand-alone movie theaters (292 screens) located in ten different states. Five theaters (28% of base rental income), with a total of 68 screens, are located in New Orleans, LA. The borrower is Flik, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entertainment Properties Trust (EPR). EPR leases 14 of the properties directly to movie theater operators including American Multli-Cinema, Inc. (AMC -- 11 theaters; 79% of base rental income), affiliates of Consolidated Theater Holding (Consolidated -- two theaters; 16% of base rental revenue), Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. (Loews -- one theater; 6% of base rental revenue), and Muvico Entertainment LLC (Muvico - one theater; 7% of base rental income). In one of the properties, EPR leases the fee parcel to an affiliate and the affiliate in turn subleases the ground parcel and improvements to AMC. All the leases are triple net and have 15 to 20-year terms plus extension options.

Many of the theaters in the portfolio are among the top performing theaters in their respective markets. For calendar year 2010 average revenue per screen for the portfolio was $507,125, a 0.5% decline from 2009 which is consistent with the U.S./Canada market trend. Portfolio performance was more than twice the $245,500 per screen average in the U.S/Canada market, as reported by the Motion Picture Association of America. The three top performers in the portfolio were the Clearview AMC 12 in New Orleans, Louisiana ($873,833 per screen), the AMC Hoffman Town Center 22 in Alexandria, Virginia ($798,864 per screen) and the AMC Elmwood Palace 20 in Harahan, Louisiana ($729,500 per screen. The theater with the lowest performance was the Consolidated Cherrydale 16 in Greenville, South Carolina ($298,098 per screen). At securitization the portfolio average revenue per screen was $541,277, seven percent higher than in 2010.

Moody's loan to value ("LTV") ratio is 57%, compared to 61% at last review. Moody's stressed debt service coverage ("DSCR") is 2.15X, compared to 2.02X at last review.
