1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Century Casinos, Inc. (“CCI” or the “Company”) is an international casino entertainment company. As of September 30, 2014, the Company owned casino operations in North America, managed cruise ship-based casinos on international and Alaskan waters, held a majority ownership interest in nine casinos throughout Poland, had a management contract to manage the casino in the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa and was developing a Racing Entertainment Center (“REC”) in Canada.

 

As of September 30, 2014 the Company owned, operated and managed the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America:

 

 

-  

The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;

-  

The Century Casino Calgary, Alberta, Canada;

-

The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado; and

-

The Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado.

 

In March 2007, the Company’s subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH (“CCE”) acquired 33.3% of the outstanding shares issued by Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”) and the Company accounted for the investment under the equity method. In April 2013, CCE acquired from LOT Polish Airlines an additional 33.3% ownership interest in CPL. As of the date of acquisition, the Company began consolidating its 66.6% ownership of CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports Company (“Polish Airports”) owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL. The Company accounts for and reports the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. See Note 3 for additional information related to CPL.

 

The Company operates 16 ship-based casinos onboard the ships of the following five cruise lines: Oceania Cruises, TUI Cruises, Windstar Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Nova Star Cruises Ltd.  

In May 2014, Windstar Cruises launched the Star Pride, the first of three newly acquired all suite cruise ships. The Company operates the ship-based casino onboard this 212 passenger ship. Windstar Cruises is planning to begin operations on the other two vessels during the second quarter of 2015, and we expect to operate the ship-based casinos onboard each ship.

 

In February 2014, the Company signed an exclusive agreement with Nova Star Cruises Ltd. to operate a ship-based casino onboard the Nova Star, a round trip cruise ferry service connecting Portland, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The ferry began operations on May 15, 2014 and operates on a seasonal basis from May to November. In September 2014, Nova Star Cruises Ltd. announced that it was shortening its 2014 sailing season with the final round trip ending on October 14, 2014.

 

In June 2014, TUI Cruises launched the Mein Schiff 3 and the Company currently operates the ship-based casino onboard this ship.

 

In December 2010, the Company entered into a long-term management agreement to direct the operation of the casino at the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa. The Company receives a management fee consisting of a fixed fee plus a percentage of the casino’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

 

On November 30, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary CCE signed credit and management agreements with United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. dba Century Downs Racetrack and Casino ("CDR") in connection with the development and operation of a REC in Balzac, north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which the Company will operate as Century Downs Racetrack and Casino. On November 29, 2013, CCE and CDR amended the credit agreement. Under the amended credit agreement, CCE owns 15% of CDR, controls the CDR board of directors, manages the development of the REC project and has the right to convert CAD 11 million that the Company plans to loan to CDR into an additional 60% ownership interest in CDR. The Company began consolidating CDR as a minority owned subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest on November 29, 2013. Unaffiliated shareholders own the remaining 85% of CDR, and the Company accounts for and reports the 85% CDR ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. See Note 3 for additional information related to CDR.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD” or “$”).  Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods.  The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies.  These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”).  Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur. 

 

The exchange rates to the U.S. dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”).  The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to provide guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists.  ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company has assessed and implemented the new standard as of January 1, 2014. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014‑09”).  The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  ASU 2014‑09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014‑09, but does not expect the standard to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company assessed the new standard as of September 30, 2014. Management does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.ACQUISITIONS

 

Casinos Poland

On April 8, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary CCE acquired from LOT Polish Airlines an additional 33.3% ownership interest in CPL for cash consideration of $6.8 million. The acquisition of CPL furthers the Company’s strategy to grow and develop mid-size casinos. CPL is the owner and operator of nine casinos throughout Poland with a total of 471 slot machines and 73 gaming tables. The Company paid for the purchase through borrowings under its credit agreement (“BMO Credit Agreement”) with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) (Note 6). There was no contingent consideration related to the transaction.

 

Prior to April 8, 2013, the Company owned 33.3% of CPL and accounted for the ownership interest as an equity investment. The Company currently owns a 66.6% interest in CPL and on April 8, 2013 began consolidating CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. As a result, the Company changed its accounting for CPL from an equity method investment to a consolidated subsidiary. CPL contributed a total of $34.8 million in net operating revenue and less than $0.1 million in net earnings from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2013 and $37.1 million in net operating revenue and $0.6 million in net losses from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014. Polish Airports owns the remaining 33.3% ownership interest in CPL and the Company accounts for and reports the Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest.

 

Upon consolidation, the fair value of the Company’s initial 33.3% equity investment in CPL was determined to be $5.2 million as of the acquisition date. The $5.2 million was greater than the carrying value of the equity investment, resulting in a gain of $2.1 million, net of foreign currency translation. The Company recorded the gain in “Gain on business combination” in the 2013 consolidated statement of earnings. The fair value was determined based on the controlling interest obtained through the additional 33.3% interest acquired and on the Company’s internal valuation of CPL using the following methods, which the Company believes provide the most appropriate indicators of fair value: 

·

relief from royalty method;

·

replacement cost method;

·

direct market value approach and direct and indirect cost approach; and

·

sales comparison approach, income approach and cost approach.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a step acquisition, and accordingly, CPL's assets of $27.6 million (including $2.4 million in cash) and liabilities of $18.5 million were included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at April 8, 2013. The goodwill is attributable to the expected synergies and economies of scale of incorporating CPL with the Company.  The acquisition also combines the specialties of the Company’s management expertise in the gaming industry with the brand awareness of Casinos Poland. Goodwill is not a tax deductible item for the Company. 

 

Non-controlling interest

The Company recognized the Polish Airports’ non-controlling interest in CPL at its fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair value of the non-controlling interest by determining the value of a controlling interest in the entity. Having control over a company gives additional rights to the holder of the controlling interest as opposed to the holder of the non-controlling interest. The Company applied a 22.5% discount for lack of control to determine the value of the non-controlling interest. The discount for lack of control was estimated based on an analysis of the transactions in the casinos and gaming industry in the past five years. The resulting value of the non-controlling interest was PLN 16.5 million ($5.2 million).

Acquisition-related costs

The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million in connection with the CPL acquisition. These costs include legal, accounting and valuation fees and were recorded as general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Contingent liability

In March 2011, the Polish Internal Revenue Service (“Polish IRS”) conducted a tax audit of CPL to review the calculation and payment of personal income tax by CPL employees. There is no specific Polish law or regulation regarding how casinos should treat tips given by customers to casino employees.

 

Based on the March 2011 audit, the Polish IRS concluded that CPL should calculate, collect and remit to the Polish IRS personal income tax on tips received by CPL employees from casino customers for the periods from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011.

 

After proceedings between CPL and the Polish IRS, the Director of the Tax Chamber in Warsaw upheld the decision of the Polish IRS on November 30, 2012 for review of the period from January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011. CPL paid PLN 0.1 million (less than $0.1 million) to the Polish IRS for taxes and interest owed resulting from this decision. CPL appealed the decision to the Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw in December 2012. In September 2013, the Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw denied CPL’s appeal. CPL appealed the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court and expects a decision in 2015.

 

After further proceedings and appeals between CPL and the Polish IRS, the Director of the Tax Chamber in Warsaw also upheld the decision of the Polish IRS on December 30, 2013 for review of the periods from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009. CPL paid PLN 3.5 million ($1.2 million) to the Polish IRS for taxes and interest owed on December 31, 2013. CPL filed an appeal of this decision in January 2014 to the Voivodship Administrative Court. In September 2014, the Voivodship Administrative Court denied CPL’s appeal.  CPL plans to appeal the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court.

 

Management has evaluated the likelihood that the litigation will be unfavorable for CPL using a probability weighted cash flow analysis and recorded a liability at estimated fair value in purchase accounting. As a result, the balance of the potential liability for all open periods as of September 30, 2014 is estimated at PLN 14.8 million ($4.7 million).

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

On November 30, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary CCE signed credit and management agreements with CDR in connection with the development of a REC project in Balzac, north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which the Company will operate as Century Downs Racetrack and Casino.

 

On November 29, 2013, CCE finalized an amended credit agreement with CDR in connection with the development of the REC project. Under the amended credit agreement, CCE agreed to loan to CDR a total of CAD 24 million in two separate loans, Loan A and Loan B. Loan A would be for CAD 13 million and Loan B would be for CAD 11 million. Loan A has an interest rate of BMO prime plus 600 basis points and a term of five years, and CAD 11 million of the loan is convertible at CCE’s option into an additional ownership position in CDR of up to 60%. Loan B has an interest rate equivalent to the rate charged under the BMO Credit Agreement plus an administrative fee and a term of five years. CCE will not advance funds from Loan B to CDR until CCE has advanced all monies from Loan A. Both loans are secured by a leasehold mortgage on the REC property and a pledge of CDR’s stock by the majority of the CDR shareholders. Both loans are for the exclusive use of developing and operating the REC project. CCE intends to fund both loans with additional borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement (Note 6).   

 

Under the amended credit agreement with CDR, CCE acquired 15% of CDR, controls the CDR board of directors, manages the development and operation of the REC project and has the right to convert CAD 11 million of Loan A into an additional 60% ownership interest in CDR. Once the REC is developed and operational and for as long as CCE has not converted the CDR loan into a majority ownership position in CDR, CCE will receive 60% of CDR’s net profit before tax as a management fee. However, as a condition of licensing by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (“AGLC”), the Company anticipates converting the loan to a majority ownership interest on or before the REC is operational.

 

As of November 29, 2013, the Company began consolidating CDR as a minority owned subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest. Unaffiliated shareholders own the remaining 85% of CDR. The Company accounts for and reports the remaining 85% CDR ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. CDR contributed a total of less than $0.1 million in net operating revenue and less than $0.1 million in net losses from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2013 and $0.5 million in net operating revenue and less than $0.1 million in net losses from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014.

 

The REC project will be the only horse race track in the Calgary area and will consist of a 5.5 furlongs (0.7 miles) racetrack, a gaming floor with 550 proposed slot machines, a bar, a lounge, restaurant facilities, an off-track-betting area and an entertainment area. The AGLC has approved development of the project and a preliminary license. The AGLC will not issue a final license until the REC opens. Horse Racing Alberta, the governing authority for horseracing in Alberta, has approved the REC project and approved a license.

 

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination, and accordingly, CDR’s assets of $22.9 million (including $0.1 million in cash) and liabilities of $20.5 million were included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet at November 29, 2013. Goodwill of $0.2 million is attributable to the expected business expansion opportunity for the Company. The acquisition leverages the Company’s management specialties and expertise in the gaming industry to the horse racing industry, and the REC project, once completed, will be one of the Company’s largest scale properties. Goodwill is not a tax deductible item for the Company. 

 

Upon consolidation, the fair value of the Company’s 15% ownership interest was determined to be $0.4 million as of the acquisition date. Since the Company did not give any cash consideration for the 15% ownership interest, it recorded the $0.4 million as a gain in “Gain on business combination” in the 2013 consolidated statement of earnings. The fair value was determined based on the controlling interest obtained and on the Company’s valuation of CDR using the following methods, which the Company believes provide the most appropriate indicators of fair value: 

·

multi-period excess earnings method;

·

cost method;

·

capitalized cash flow method;

·

discounted cash flow method; and

·

direct market value approach.

 

Details of the purchase in the table below are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities as of November 29, 2013. Allocation of the purchase consideration is preliminary and subject to adjustment as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period (a period up to one year).

Non-controlling interest

The Company recognized the non-controlling interest of the non-affiliated shareholders in CDR at its fair value of $2.3 million as of November 29, 2013.

 

Acquisition-related costs

The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the CDR acquisition. These costs include legal, accounting, and valuation fees and were recorded as general and administrative expenses as of September 30, 2014.

 

Land

Prior to the Company’s acquisition, CDR purchased various plots of land on which the REC project will be constructed. CDR sold a portion of this land consisting of 71.99 acres to 1685258 Alberta Ltd (“Rosebridge”) and leased back 51.99 acres of the land. The Company began accounting for the lease using the financing method as of the date of acquisition. Under the financing method, the Company accounts for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was $17.4 million and the implicit interest rate was 10.0%.

 

Contingent Liability

In February 2013, 1369454 Alberta Ltd filed a lawsuit against CDR for previously owed money not paid by CDR.  The case was settled in April 2013, and CDR issued a promissory note to pay 1369454 Alberta Ltd. CAD 0.2 million  ($0.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2014).  

 

Financing

Prior to November 29, 2013, the Company loaned $1.4 million to CDR for deferred financing costs related to legal fees incurred for the CDR loan  and various expenditures relating to the development of the REC. As of the date of consolidation, the Company began eliminating the loan as an intercompany transaction.

 

Restricted Cash

The Company’s subsidiary CCE loaned $0.2 million to CDR in December 2013 to pay outstanding Canadian federal tax owed by CDR. The unsecured note is due and payable on December 31, 2014 and has a 4% interest rate. The note will be repaid once $0.5 million of restricted cash is released from escrow held with Rosebridge in connection with the land lease.

4.GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary.  Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values.  Our reporting units with goodwill balances as of September 30, 2014 include our Edmonton casino property, our CPL casino operations, and CDR’s REC project development activities.  We consider a variety of factors when estimating the fair value of our reporting units, including estimates about the future operating results of each reporting unit, multiples of earnings, various market analyses, and recent sales of comparable businesses, if such information is available to us.  The Company makes a variety of estimates and judgments about the relevance and comparability of these factors to the reporting units in estimating their fair values.   If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the fair value of each reporting unit is allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and whether impairment is necessary.  No impairment charges related to goodwill were recorded during 2013 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill related to the Company’s Edmonton property, CPL casino operations and CDR’s REC project development activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are as follows:

The Company has determined both trademarks have indefinite useful lives and therefore the Company does not amortize trademarks. Rather, the Company tests its trademarks for impairment annually or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The Company tests trademarks for impairment using the relief-from-royalty method. If the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company would recognize an impairment charge equal to the difference. No impairment charges related to trademarks were recorded during 2013 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Casino Licenses

 

Casinos Poland

Casinos Poland currently has nine casino licenses, each with an original term of six years. As of April 8, 2013, the Company began reporting the Polish casino licenses as finite-lived intangible assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. On June 30, 2014, the Casinos Poland management board decided to suspend operations at the Sosnowiec casino for a period of five months. During the preceding year, the board replaced staff, changed the exterior appearance of the casino, increased marketing efforts and modified the floor plan of the casino. However, the casino had not achieved profitability. Based on the decision to suspend operations, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of the Sosnowiec casino license and determined that it no longer had value. Therefore, the Company wrote down the Sosnowiec casino license to zero and charged $0.2 million to operating costs and expenses. Changes in the carrying amount of the Casinos Poland licenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are as follows:

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

CDR currently has one casino license pending final approval from the AGLC for the REC project. The AGLC has approved development of the REC project and a preliminary license. However, the AGLC will not issue a final license until the REC opens. As of November 29, 2013, the Company began reporting the CDR license as an intangible asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of the license was $2.8 million.

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. The Company records a liability based on the points earned multiplied by the redemption value, and records a corresponding reduction in casino revenue. Points can be redeemed for cash, free play and/or various amenities at the casino, such as meals, hotel stays and gift shop items. The value of the points is offset against the revenue in the period in which the points were earned. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The expiration of unused points results in a reduction of the liability. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of this liability was $1.0 and $0.9 million, respectively.

Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation.

The consolidated weighted average interest rate on all Company debt was 7.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company pays a floating interest rate on its borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement and the current interest rate is approximately 3.75%. The Company pays a weighted average interest rate of 5.60% on its borrowings under the CPL loan agreements. The weighted average interest rate on all Company debt is higher than the 3.75% interest rate of the BMO Credit Agreement and the weighted average interest of 5.60% on the CPL loan agreements due to the CDR financing obligation, on which the Company pays an implicit interest rate of 10.0%.  

 

Credit Agreement – Bank of Montreal

In May 2012, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into the CAD 28.0 million credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal. On August 15, 2014, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into an amended and restated BMO Credit Agreement that increased the principal amount of the loan to CAD 39.1 million. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had borrowed CAD 17.5 million, of which the outstanding balance was CAD 15.5 million ($13.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2014) and the Company had approximately CAD 21.6 million ($19.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2014) available under the BMO Credit Agreement. The outstanding borrowings cannot be re-borrowed once they are repaid. The Company has used borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement primarily to repay the Company’s mortgage loan related to the Edmonton property, pay for the additional 33.3% investment in CPL (Note 3) and pay for development costs related to the REC project (Note 3). The Company can also use the loan proceeds to pursue the development or acquisition of new gaming opportunities and for general corporate purposes. Borrowings bear interest at fixed rates or at BMO’s floating rate plus a margin.  Any funds not drawn down under the BMO Credit Agreement are subject to standby fees ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% payable quarterly in arrears. The BMO Credit Agreement has a term of five years through August 2019 and is guaranteed by the Company. The shares of the Company’s subsidiaries in Edmonton and Calgary and the Company’s 15% interest in CDR are pledged as collateral for the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to the Canadian subsidiaries, in addition to covenants restricting their incurrence of additional debt. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the BMO Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2014.

 

Amortization expenses relating to deferred financing charges were $0.1 million for the period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. These costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings.

 

Casinos Poland

As of September 30, 2014, CPL had debt totaling $7.4 million. The debt includes two credit agreements, one credit facility and 12 capital lease agreements.

 

The first credit agreement is with mBank (formerly known as BRE Bank). Under this credit agreement, CPL entered into the 3 year term loan in November 2013 at an interest rate of Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate (“WIBOR”) plus 1.75%. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay the balance of the Bank Pocztowy loan related to the CPL properties, invest in slot equipment and relocate the Company’s Poznan, Poland casino. As of September 30, 2014, the amount outstanding on the term loan was $3.1 million. CPL has no further borrowing availability under the loan, and the loan matures in November 2016. The mBank credit agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to CPL, in addition to covenants restricting incurrence of additional debt by CPL. CPL was in compliance with all covenants of this mBank agreement as of September 30, 2014.

 

The second credit agreement is also with mBank. Under this credit agreement, CPL entered into the 3  year term loan on September 15, 2014 at an interest rate of WIBOR plus 1.70%. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay balances outstanding under a prior credit agreement that matured in September 2014 and to finance current operations. As of September 30, 2014, the amount outstanding on the term loan was $0.9 million. CPL has no further borrowing availability under the loan, and the loan matures in September 2017. The mBank credit agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to CPL, in addition to covenants restricting incurrence of additional debt. CPL was in compliance with all covenants of this mBank agreement as of September 30, 2014.

 

The credit facility is a short-term line of credit with BPH Bank used to finance current operations. The bank line of credit bears an interest rate of WIBOR plus 1.85%. The credit facility terminates on February 13, 2016. As of September 30, 2014, the amount outstanding was $3.2 million and CPL has approximately $0.1 million available under the facility. The BPH Bank facility contains a number of financial covenants applicable to CPL, in addition to covenants restricting incurrence of additional debt by CPL. CPL was in compliance with all covenants of the BPH Bank line of credit as of September 30, 2014.

 

CPL’s remaining debt consists of 12 capital lease agreements for various vehicles. As of September 30, 2014, the amount outstanding was $0.1 million.

 

In addition, under Polish gaming law, CPL is required to maintain PLN 4.8 million in the form of deposits or bank guarantees for payment of casino jackpots and gaming tax obligations.  mBank issued guarantees to CPL for this purpose totaling PLN 4.8 million ($1.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect as of September 30, 2014). The mBank guarantees terminate on October 31, 2019.  As of September 30, 2014, CPL maintained $0.4 million in deposits for this purpose.

 

Century Downs Racetrack and Casino

Prior to the Company’s acquisition, CDR purchased various plots of land on which the REC project will be constructed. CDR sold a portion of this land consisting of 71.99 acres to Rosebridge and leased back 51.99 acres of the land. The Company began accounting for the lease using the financing method as of the date of acquisition. Under the financing method, the Company accounts for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. As of September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the financing obligation was $17.4 million and the implicit interest rate was 10.0%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $0.8 million on pre-tax income of $0.4 million, representing an effective income tax benefit rate of 208.5% compared to an income tax expense of $0.7 million on pre-tax income of $7.3 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 9.4% for the same period in 2013.

 

The increase in the effective tax rate compared to the same period in 2013 is primarily the result of a pre-tax loss in the United States and lower pre-tax income in Austria and Poland for the third quarter of 2014. Since the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on all of its U.S. and Austrian deferred tax assets, income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings.  In addition, the movement of exchange rates for intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars further impacts the Company’s effective income tax rate. Therefore, the Company’s overall effective income tax rate can be significantly impacted by foreign currency gains or losses.

8.EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The calculation of basic earnings per share considers only weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. The calculation of diluted earnings 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. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs:

 

·

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

·

Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.  The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. 

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 

 

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

We have applied the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to our nonrecurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.  These assets and liabilities consist of those acquired by the Company in connection with our increased ownership in CPL and CDR. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement only in certain circumstances. The following table presents information about our non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2013 (in thousands), aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those assets fall.

The Company used the following methods to estimate the fair values of the assets and liabilities in the table above:

 

Contingent liability – Level 3 fair value measurements include the measurement of the contingent liability recorded for CPL. The Company measures the fair value of the contingent liability using a probability weighted cash flow analysis. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of the liability, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

 

Noncontrolling interests - Noncontrolling interests are measured primarily by a market comparables analysis that considers key financial inputs and recent public and private transactions and other available measures.

 

Trademark – The Company measured the Casinos Poland trademark acquired from CPL by using the relief from royalty method. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of the asset, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

 

Property and equipment, net –The Company measured the fair value of property and equipment by using the direct market value approach and the direct and indirect cost approach. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of the liability, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

 

Casino licenses– The Company measured casino licenses acquired from CPL by using a replacement cost method. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs in the fair value measurements of the asset, such measurements have been classified as Level 3.

 

 

On June 30, 2014, the Casinos Poland management board decided to suspend operations at the Sosnowiec casino for a period of five months. During the preceding year, the board replaced staff, changed the exterior appearance of the casino, increased marketing efforts and modified the floor plan of the casino. However, the casino had not achieved profitability. Based on the decision to suspend operations, the Company evaluated the carrying amount of the Sosnowiec casino license and determined that it no longer had value. The Company also evaluated the carrying amount of the leasehold improvements, which are reported as property and equipment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, at the Sosnowiec casino and determined that the asset no longer had value. Therefore, the Company wrote down the Sosnowiec casino license and the Sosnowiec casino leasehold improvements to zero and charged $0.7 million to operating costs and expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

 

Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the Company’s BMO Credit Agreement approximates fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because it bears interest at the lenders’ variable rate.  The carrying value of the CPL debt approximates fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because a substantial portion of the debt is short-term with a primarily variable interest rate and CPL recently negotiated the debt with the lender. Based on prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, the estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the Company’s BMO Credit Agreement and CPL debt are designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the CDR debt approximates fair value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because the debt bears interest at a rate implicit in the CDR land lease with the third party lessor at the time of the recent CDR acquisition. Based on the unobservable inputs used in the CDR land lease, the estimated fair value of the Company’s CDR debt is designated as a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements – The estimated fair value of our other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

*The financing obligation represents the land lease with CDR. Prior to the Company’s acquisition, CDR purchased various plots of land on which the REC project will be constructed. CDR sold a portion of the land consisting of 71.99 acres to Rosebridge and leased back 51.99 acres of the land. The Company began accounting for the lease using the financing method as of the date of the CDR acquisition. Under the financing method, the Company accounts for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023.

The Company began accounting for the lease using the financing method as of the date of the CDR acquisition. Under the financing method, the Company accounts for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023.
