ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS 

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

The majority of our revenues are dependent on PENN and its subsidiaries until we further diversify our portfolio. Any event that has a material adverse effect on PENN’s business, financial position or results of operations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

The majority of our revenue is based on the revenue derived under our master leases with subsidiaries of PENN. Because these master leases are triple-net leases, we depend on PENN to operate the properties that we own in a manner that generate revenues sufficient to allow PENN to meet its obligations to us, including payment of rent and all insurance, taxes, utilities and maintenance and repair expenses, and to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities arising in connection with its business. There can be no assurance that PENN will have sufficient assets, income or access to financing to enable it to satisfy its payment obligations to us under the master leases. The ability of PENN to fulfill its obligations depends, in part, upon the overall profitability of its gaming operations and, other than limited contractual protections afforded to us as a landlord, we have no control over PENN or its operations. The inability or unwillingness of PENN to meet its subsidiaries’ rent obligations and other obligations under the master leases may materially and adversely affect our business, financial position or results of operations, including our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

Due to our dependence on rental payments from PENN as a significant source of revenue, we may be limited in our ability to enforce our rights under the master leases. Failure by PENN to comply with the terms of its master leases or to comply with the gaming regulations to which the leased properties are subject could require us to find another lessee for such leased property. In such event, we may be unable to locate a suitable lessee at similar rental rates or at all, which would have the effect of reducing our rental revenues. Likewise, our financial position may be materially weakened if PENN failed to renew or extend any master lease as such lease expires and we are unable to lease or re-lease our properties on economically favorable terms.
