ACQUISITIONS
 
Century Casino in Calgary
 
On January 13, 2010, the Company, through Century Casinos Europe ("CCE"), acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Frank Sisson's Silver Dollar Ltd. ("FSSD") and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EGC Properties Ltd. ("EGC"). FSSD and EGC collectively owned and operated the Silver Dollar Casino and related land in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In November 2010, we rebranded the casino under the name Century Casino in Calgary.
 
The total consideration for the transaction was $11.5 million, which consisted of a $10.7 million purchase price plus a net working capital adjustment of $0.8 million. CCE paid $1.0 million on the acquisition on November 6, 2009. On January 13, 2010, CCE paid the remaining $10.5 million. The purchase price was paid from cash on hand. There was no contingent consideration for the transaction.
 
The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.3 million. The majority of these costs, which include legal, accounting and valuation fees, were recorded as general and administrative expenses during the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on January 13, 2010, the date of acquisition:

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized a $1.2 million gain on the bargain purchase associated with the Century Casino in Calgary acquisition. The bargain purchase was the result of the fair market value of the assets acquired exceeding the purchase price. Pro forma results of operations for 2010 have not been presented, as the impact on consolidated financial results would not have been material.

Hotel accommodations and food and beverage furnished without charge to customers are included in gross revenue at a value which approximates retail and are then deducted as complimentary services to arrive at net operating revenue.

 

The Company issues coupons for the purpose of generating future revenue. The cost of the coupons redeemed is applied against the revenue generated on the day of the redemption. In addition, members of the Company's casinos' player clubs earn points based on, among other things, their volume of play at the Company's casinos. Players can accumulate points over time that they may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program. Points can be redeemed for cash and/or various amenities at the casino, such as meals, hotel stays and gift shop items. The cost of the points is offset against the revenue in the period in which the revenue generated the points. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The expiration of unused points results in a reduction of the liability.

6.           INCOME TAXES

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rate in effect for the year these differences are expected to be taxable or reversed. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. The recorded deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis by reviewing the Company's internal estimates for future net income.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has established a valuation allowance for its U.S. deferred tax assets of $5.5 million and a valuation allowance for its foreign deferred tax assets of $0.9 million. The Company assesses the continuing need for a valuation allowance that results from uncertainty regarding its ability to realize the benefits of the Company's deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. If the Company concludes that its prospects for the realization of its deferred tax assets are more likely than not, the Company will then reduce its valuation allowance as appropriate and credit income tax expense after considering the following factors:
 
·  
The level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets would be deductible,
·  
Accumulation of net income before tax utilizing a look-back period of three years, and
·  
Tax planning strategies.

The income tax provisions are based on estimated full-year earnings for financial reporting purposes adjusted for permanent differences. The Company's provision for income taxes from operations consists of the following:

Basic earnings (loss) per share considers only weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share give effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the assumed conversion of other convertible securities (using the "if converted" method) at the beginning of the year, or for the period outstanding during the year for current year issuances.
