Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

1.  Nature of Operations

 

Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in February 1990. Except where otherwise noted, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as “Company,” refer to Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. We are a developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in markets throughout the United States. As of January 26, 2014, our wholly owned subsidiaries owned or operated sixteen casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Black Hawk, Colorado; Pompano Beach, Florida; Bettendorf, Davenport, Marquette and Waterloo, Iowa; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula, Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Boonville, Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville and Kansas City, Missouri; and Nemacolin, Pennsylvania.

 

2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. In managements’ opinion, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 28, 2013 as filed with the SEC and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or our website at www.islecorp.com.

 

Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in April. Periodically, this system necessitates a 53-week year.  Fiscal 2014 and 2013 are both 52-week years, which commenced on April 29, 2013 and April 30, 2012, respectively.

 

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. We view each property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment.

 

We evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Other than the sale of our Davenport, Iowa casino operations as disclosed in Note 3 and the reversal of the litigation accrual as disclosed in Note 11, no material subsequent events have occurred that required recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

 

On December 4, 2013, we entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and for the assumption of certain liabilities related to our casino located in Davenport, Iowa, (“Davenport”) for approximately $51,000, net of cash on hand of $2,150, and subject to working capital and certain other customary purchase price adjustments. As a result, certain balance sheet items related to Davenport have been classified as held for sale, and the results of operations for all periods are presented as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on February 3, 2014 and the net cash proceeds were utilized to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility.

 

In addition to Davenport, in fiscal 2013, our discontinued operations include the results of our Biloxi, Mississippi casino which was sold in November 2012. The results of our discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility—Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended and restated (“Credit Facility”), matures April 19, 2018 and consists of a $300,000 revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of our assets and is guaranteed by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries. In July 2013, we entered into an agreement amending our Credit Facility to, among other things, modify our maximum allowed leverage and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants.  As a result, we capitalized new deferred financing costs of $673 during the nine months ended January 26, 2014.

 

Our net revolving line of credit availability at January 26, 2014, as limited by our borrowings, was approximately $120,000, after consideration of approximately $35,100 in outstanding letters of credit. We have an annual commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.55% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average effective interest rates of the Credit Facility for the nine months ended January 26, 2014 was 4.05%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants, as well as certain financial covenants including maintenance of a total leverage ratio, senior secured leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also restricts our ability to make certain investments or distributions. We were in compliance with the covenants as of January 26, 2014.

 

5.875% Senior Notes—In March 2013, we issued $350,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (“5.875% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay term loans under our Credit Facility. The 5.875% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness. The 5.875% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes.

 

7.75% Senior Notes—In March 2011, we issued $300,000 of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 at a price of 99.264% (“7.75% Senior Notes”).  The 7.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness. The 7.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2015, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes.

 

8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes — In August 2012, we issued $350,000 of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (“8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes”).  The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness. The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after June 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes.

The 5.875% Senior Notes, 7.75% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 10. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.

 

The indentures governing the 5.875% Senior Notes, 7.75% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes limit, among other things, our ability and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to borrow money, make restricted payments, use assets as security in other transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends, or repurchase stock. The indentures also limit our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.

Our basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, stock options representing 753,860 shares, which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for the diluted loss per share.  For the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, restricted stock units of 1,332,740, have been excluded from the calculation as the market performance condition related to those restricted stock units has not been achieved.

 

Due to the loss from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2013, stock options representing 18,041 and 22,206 shares, which are potentially dilutive, and 1,009,160 and 1,009,160 shares, which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted loss per share for the respective periods.  For the three and nine months ended January 27, 2013, restricted stock units of 1,714,286

were excluded from the calculation as the market performance condition related to those restricted stock units had not been achieved.

 

6.  Stock Based Compensation

 

Under our Amended and Restated 2009 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan we have issued restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options.

 

Restricted Stock Units—During fiscal 2013, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) containing market performance conditions which will determine the ultimate amount of RSUs, if any, to be awarded up to 1,714,286 shares.  Any RSUs earned will vest 50% on April 26, 2015 and 50% on April 26, 2016.  The fair value of these RSUs was determined utilizing a lattice pricing model which considers a range of assumptions including volatility and risk-free interest rates.  The aggregate compensation cost related to these RSUs is $4,932 to be recognized over the vesting periods. As of January 26, 2014, our unrecognized compensation cost for these RSUs is $2,635.

 

Restricted Stock —During the three months ended January 26, 2014, we issued 39,789 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.66 to employees.  During the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we issued 127,883 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $7.78 to employees and 148,360 shares of restricted stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $7.62 to directors.  Restricted stock awarded to employees under annual long-term incentive grants primarily vests one-third on each anniversary of the grant date and for directors vests one-half on the grant date and one-half on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our aggregate estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock for employees and directors is 9% and 0%, respectively. As of January 26, 2014, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock is $1,683 with a remaining weighted average vesting period of 0.98 years.

 

7.  Fair Value

 

Our interest rate swap derivative agreement matured in September 2013.  The fair value of our interest swap contract was previously recorded using Level 3 inputs at the present value of all expected future cash flows based on the LIBOR-based swap yield curve as of the date of the valuation.

 

The following table presents the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, due to their short-term maturities.

 

Marketable securities include investments of $9,046 and $9,433, as of January 26, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively, based upon Level 1 inputs obtained from quoted prices available in active markets and investments of $16,431 and $16,087, as of January 26, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively, based upon Level 2 inputs obtained from quoted prices of identical assets in inactive markets or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs during the nine months ended January 26, 2014.

 

Restricted cash and investments include restricted cash and investments of $4,470 and $3,979, as of January 26, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively, based upon Level 1 inputs obtained from quoted prices available in active markets and investments of $5,326 and $7,438, as of January 26, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively, based upon Level 2 inputs obtained from quoted prices of identical assets in inactive markets or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs during the nine months ended January 26, 2014.

 

The fair value of our long-term debt or other long-term obligations is estimated based on the quoted market price of the underlying debt issue (Level 1) or, when a quoted market price is not available, the discounted cash flow of future payments utilizing current rates available to us for debt of similar remaining maturities (Level 3). Debt obligations with a short remaining maturity have a carrying amount that approximates fair value.

Our income tax benefit consists of 1) changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles, 2) changes in the valuation allowance placed upon our federal and state deferred tax assets including net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits, 3) expense for state jurisdictions where taxable income is generated without net operating loss carry forwards available, and 4) expense for unrecognized tax positions.

 

The assets and liabilities of Davenport were classified as held for sale as of January 26, 2014.  Davenport’s goodwill, previously treated as indefinite lived, now has a finite life.  The expected utilization of the deferred tax liability associated with this goodwill has resulted in the reversal of $11,993 of valuation allowances previously recognized in prior years.

 

Subsequent Event - At January 26, 2014, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $8,059 that related to positions taken on Mississippi income tax returns for the fiscal years ending April 2002 through April 2008. Included in this amount is principle of $4,072 and interest of $3,987.  The Mississippi Department of Revenues has challenged these positions, and the Supreme Court of Mississippi ruled in our favor on February 13, 2014.  The Mississippi Department of Revenue has the opportunity to request a rehearing with the Supreme Court of Mississippi.

 

9.  Supplemental Disclosures

 

Cash Flow — For the nine months ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, we made net cash interest payments of $61,139 and $57,239, respectively. Additionally, we received net income tax refunds of $93 and made net income tax payments of $3,073 during the nine months ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, the accrued purchases of property and equipment in accounts payable decreased by $6,661 and $4,353, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended January 26, 2014 and January 27, 2013, we capitalized interest of $184 and $2,330, respectively.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings— We and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverboat Corporation of Mississippi - Vicksburg, were defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Adams County, Mississippi by Silver Land, Inc., alleging breach of contract in connection with our 2006 sale of casino operations in Vicksburg, Mississippi.  The court originally ruled in favor of Silver Land and awarded damages of $1,979, which we accrued.  We appealed the decision and in June 2013 the court of appeals reversed the trial court and ruled in our favor.  Silver Land filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in November 2013 requesting review by the Mississippi Supreme Court. On February 20, 2014, the Mississippi Supreme Court denied Silver Land’s request, which effectively disposes of this matter in its entirety.  As a result, during the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, we reversed a litigation accrual of $2,223, of which $1,979 was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and $244 was recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

 

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Lady Luck Gaming Corporation, and several joint venture partners were defendants in the Greek Civil Courts and the Greek Administrative Courts in similar lawsuits brought by the country of Greece. The actions alleged that the defendants failed to make specified payments in connection with the gaming license bid process for Patras, Greece. In the Civil Court lawsuit, the Civil Court of First Instance ruled in our favor and dismissed the lawsuit in 2001. The lawsuits continued through the appeals process and in October 2013, the Supreme Administrative Court rejected both lawsuits which disposed of this matter completely.  As a result, during the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we reversed a litigation accrual of $14,730, of which $7,351 was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and $7,379 was recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

 

We were named as a defendant in a complaint filed in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida. The complaint alleged we sent unsolicited fax advertisements in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 (the “TCPA”), and sought to certify a class action.  The complaint sought statutory damages for alleged negligent and willful violations of the TCPA, attorneys’ fees, costs and injunction relief. In April 2013, we entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiff and on May 22, 2013, the Court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement and finalized its approval of the settlement in October 2013. Settlement of this matter was finalized during the nine months ended January 26, 2014 and payments were within the Company’s reserves for this lawsuit.

 

In October 2012, we opened our new casino in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. A subcontractor filed a mechanics’ lien against our property resulting from a dispute between the subcontractor and our general contractor for the construction project. We demanded that the general contractor cause the lien to be bonded against or satisfied, however the general contractor refused to do so and asserted that a portion of the subcontractor’s claim results from additional work directly requested by us. In October 2013, the subcontractor filed suit against our wholly-owned subsidiary IOC-Cape Girardeau, LLC, the general contractor and two other defendants alleging various contract and equitable claims and seeking damages of approximately $4,600.  The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.  In the event that we incur any costs in connection with this matter, we do not believe that any such costs would be material, and if incurred, the settlement of construction costs would be capitalized.

 

In April 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, PPI, Inc., d/b/a Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park, was named as a defendant in a collective action matter in the U.S. District Court — Southern District of Florida.  The claim alleges tipping and tip-credit violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act for certain employees.  The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted.  We intend to continue to put forth a vigorous defense against the claim asserted in this matter.

 

We are subject to certain federal, state and local environmental protection, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to businesses generally, and are subject to cleanup requirements at certain of our facilities as a result thereof. We have not made, and do not anticipate making material expenditures, nor do we anticipate incurring delays with respect to environmental remediation or protection. However, in part because our present and future development sites have, in some cases, been used as manufacturing facilities or other facilities that generate materials that are required to be remediated under environmental laws and regulations, there can be no

 

20



 

guarantee that additional pre-existing conditions will not be discovered and we will not experience material liabilities or delays.

 

We are subject to various contingencies and litigation matters and have a number of unresolved claims. Although the ultimate liability of these contingencies, this litigation and these claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Development Projects— On February 1, 2013, we signed an agreement with Tower Investments, Inc. to manage The Provence, the resort and casino on North Broad Street, Philadelphia, proposed by Tower Entertainment, LLC (the “Tower JV”), if the project is selected by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (the “PGCB”). The Tower JV is one of five applicants for the final gaming license in Philadelphia. As part of our agreement with the Tower JV, we agreed to loan $25,000 to the Tower JV for the purpose of securing the Pennsylvania gaming license fee relating to the project. The commitment for the loan is secured by a stand by letter of credit, which can only be drawn upon if the Tower JV is awarded the license. If the Tower JV is selected, we have the option to either 1) be repaid from the proceeds of permanent financing, or 2) convert the $25,000 loan into a minority investment in the Tower JV. The PGCB indicated that they expect to announce a decision with respect to the license in April 2014.

Executive Overview

 

We are a leading developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related dining, lodging and entertainment facilities in regional markets in the United States. We have sought and established geographic diversity to limit the risks caused by weather, regional economic difficulties, gaming tax rates and regulations of local gaming authorities. We currently operate casinos in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Pennsylvania. We also operate a harness racing track at our casino in Florida.

 

Our operating results for the periods presented have been affected, both positively and negatively, by current economic conditions and several other factors discussed in detail below. Our historical operating results may not be indicative of our future results of operations because of these factors and the changing competitive landscape in each of our markets, as well as by factors discussed elsewhere herein. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 28, 2013 and by giving consideration to the following:

 

Items Impacting Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations— Significant items impacting our income (loss) from continuing operations during the periods ended January 26, 2014, and January 27, 2013 are as follows:

 

Legal Recoveries — On February 20, 2014, we received a favorable ruling in our Silver Land legal proceedings.  As a result, during the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, we reversed a litigation accrual of $2.2 million, of which $2.0 million was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and $0.2 million was recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

 

During October 2013, we received a favorable ruling in our Greece gaming license legal proceedings.  As a result, during the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we reversed a litigation accrual of $14.7 million, of which $7.3 million was recorded as a reduction to operating expenses and $7.4 million was recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

 

22



 

Disruption — Several of our properties’ operating results have been impacted during the nine months ended January 26, 2014 by disruption as follows:

 

·                  Severe winter weather negatively impacted visitation and revenues at several of our casinos in December 2013 and January 2014.

·                  Our Black Hawk property’s attendance was negatively impacted by the severe weather and flooding in Colorado during September 2013.

·                  Our Boonville property was affected by power outages and was forced to close three times for a total of approximately 40 hours, of which two periods were over the key holidays of Father’s Day weekend and on the 4th of July.

 

During fiscal 2013, we remodeled our main hotel tower at our Lake Charles property and the casino floor at our Vicksburg property. As a result, certain areas of these properties may not have been accessible to our customers during the construction period resulting in a loss of revenues.  Construction was substantially completed during the three months ended January 27, 2013.

 

Casino Openings — We opened our Lady Luck Casino on the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania on July 1, 2013 and our Isle Casino in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on October 30, 2012.

 

Increased Competition — From time to time, new or expanded facilities by our competitors impact our results. For example, competition from a new casino in Natchez that opened at the end of December 2012 has negatively impacted our Natchez casino. Expansions by Arkansas based competitors have negatively impacted our Lula property.

 

Income Tax Benefit — During the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we reversed a valuation allowance of $12.0 million as a result of our Davenport sale and the change in the status of the indefinite lived intangible assets. Our income tax benefit from continuing operations was impacted by our estimate of annual taxable income for financial statement purposes, changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles, our percentage of permanent and other items in relation to such estimated income or loss, as well as changes in valuation allowances.  As a result, our tax benefit from continuing operations was $13.3 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, respectively.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Sale of Davenport — On December 4, 2013, we entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and for the assumption of certain liabilities related to our casino located in Davenport, Iowa, (“Davenport”) for approximately $51.0 million, net of cash on hand of $2.2 million, and subject to working capital and certain other customary purchase price adjustments. As a result, certain balance sheet items related to Davenport have been classified as held for sale, and the results of operations for all periods are presented as discontinued operations. The sale was completed on February 3, 2014 and the net cash proceeds were utilized to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility.

 

Sale of Biloxi — On November 29, 2012, we completed the sale of our Biloxi, Mississippi casino operations.  During the nine months ended January 27, 2013, we recorded a $1.5 million valuation allowance reflecting a credit against the purchase price to satisfy our obligation to repair the property after Hurricane Isaac, as required by the purchase agreement.

Casino Casino revenues decreased $0.9 million, or 0.4%, for the three months ended January 26, 2014, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. Excluding casino revenues of $7.0 million at our Nemacolin property, casino revenues decreased $7.9 million or 3.3% compared to prior year.  Casino revenues decreased at

 

24



 

our Iowa and Kansas City properties by $3.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, due to the combination of severe winter weather and market conditions in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013.  Our Cape Girardeau property decreased by $1.8 million due to inclement weather and the impact of initial heightened visitation in fiscal 2013 due to the opening of the property. In addition, our Natchez property decreased by $1.5 million as a result of market conditions. These decreases were offset by increased revenues of $3.0 million at our Pompano property which were driven by focused marketing efforts.

 

Casino operating expenses increased $0.7 million, or 1.9%, for the three months ended January 26, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Excluding casino operating expenses of $1.7 million at our Nemacolin properties, casino expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 2.6% commensurate with casino revenues.

 

Casino revenues increased $36.6 million, or 5.3%, for the nine months ended January 26, 2014, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2013. Excluding casino revenues of $28.2 million and $17.9 million at our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties, respectively, during the comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year, our casino revenues decreased $9.5 million, or 13.6%.  Casino revenues decreased at our Natchez, Lula and Kansas City properties by $10.7 million due to market conditions and weather and decreased at our Iowa and Boonville properties due to weather and disruptions of $5.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively.  These decreases were offset by increases at our Pompano property of $11.6 million which were driven by focused marketing efforts.

 

Casino operating expenses increased $8.6 million, or 7.8%, for the nine months ended January 26, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Excluding casino operating expenses of $8.8 million at our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties during the comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year, casino expenses decreased $0.2 million commensurate with casino revenues.

 

Gaming Taxes State and local gaming taxes decreased $0.4 million, or 0.7%, and increased $12.5 million, or 7.2%, for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase during the nine months ended January 26, 2014 was commensurate with casino revenues.

 

Rooms Rooms revenue increased $0.1 million, or 1.5%, and $0.8 million, or 3.2%, for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This is a result of the increase in Lake Charles revenue for the periods due to the completion of the hotel renovation during the three months ended January 27, 2013.  Rooms expense increased commensurate with the increase in rooms revenue.

 

Food, Beverage, Pari-Mutuel and Other — Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other revenues increased $0.8 million, or 2.6%, and $7.1 million, or 7.7%, for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increases included $0.9 million for our Nemacolin property for the three month period and $5.8 million for our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties for the comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year.

 

Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other expenses were flat for the three months ended January 27, 2014 and increased $2.3 million, or 7.9%, for the nine months ended January 27, 2014, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase during the nine month period included $2.1 million of expense at our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties for the comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year.

 

Promotional Allowances Promotional allowances increased $3.9 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended January 26, 2014, which included promotional allowances of $1.8 million at our Nemacolin property.  The Pompano property’s promotional allowances increased $1.2 million which helped contribute to their increase in casino revenues.

 

Promotional allowances increased $16.6 million, or 11.4%, for the nine months ended January 26, 2014, which included promotional allowances of $8.9 million at our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties for the

 

25



 

comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year and a $6.0 million increase at our Pompano property which helped contribute to their increase in casino revenues.

Excluding marketing and administrative expenses of $14.4 million at our Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin properties for the comparative period for which they were not open during the prior year, marketing and administrative expenses decreased $7.5 million, or 4.5%, due to changes in our marketing programs as well as savings from cost reduction initiatives.

 

Corporate and Development — During the three months ended January 26, 2014, our corporate and development expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 3.7%, from the same period in the prior fiscal year due to savings from cost reduction initiatives.

Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended January 26, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This change primarily reflects the reversal of $0.2 million in interest expense related to the Silver Land legal proceedings during the three month period and the reversal of $7.4 million in interest expense related to the Greek litigation proceedings during the nine month period.  This decrease was offset by the additional interest associated with the senior notes issued in August 2012 and March 2013, as well as the reduction of capitalized interest during fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - During the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we generated $48.5 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to generating $79.5 million during the nine months ended January 27, 2013. The year over year decrease in cash flows from operating activities is the result of business volumes and working capital changes. Additionally, the cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 includes the collection of $7.5 million of insurance receivables related to flooding during fiscal 2012.

 

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities - During the nine months ended January 26, 2014, we used $37.6 million for investing activities compared to using $95.9 million during the nine months ended January 27, 2013. Significant investing activities for the nine months ended January 26, 2014 included capital expenditures of $32.9 million, of which $17.4 million related to Nemacolin, as well as an additional $7.5 million toward a Nemacolin table gaming license.  These outflows were offset by $1.7 million of cash inflows from the change in restricted cash and investments and $1.2 million in proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

 

Significant investing activities for the nine months ended January 27, 2013 included capital expenditures of $123.6 million, of which $83.1 million related to Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin as well as an additional $5.0 million toward a Nemacolin slot license. Cash generated from investing activities primarily consists of net proceeds from the sale of our casino in Biloxi, Mississippi of $33.2 million.

 

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities — During the nine months ended January 26, 2014, our net cash flows used in financing activities were primarily from repayments of $9.9 million of borrowings under our Credit Facility.  During the nine months ended January 27, 2013, our net cash flows used in financing activities were $10.2 million, including repayments of $357.3 million of our 7% senior subordinated notes, repayments of $4.1 million in other long-term debt, proceeds of $350 million from the issuance of our 8.875% senior subordinated notes, $10.0 million in net borrowings under the revolving line of credit and payments for deferred financing costs of $8.8 million.

 

Availability of Cash and Additional Capital - At January 26, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68.4 million and marketable securities of $25.5 million. As of January 26, 2014, we had $145.0 million in outstanding revolving credit borrowings under our Credit Facility and our net line of credit availability was approximately $120.0 million.

 

We completed the sale of our Rhythm City casino in Davenport, Iowa, on February 3, 2014, and received approximately $50 million in net proceeds.  We have utilized the proceeds to reduce borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Capital Expenditures and Development Activities— As part of our business development activities, historically we have entered into agreements which have resulted in the acquisition or development of businesses or assets. These business development efforts and related agreements typically require the expenditure of cash, which may be significant. The amount and timing of our cash expenditures relating to development activities may vary based upon our evaluation of current and future development opportunities, our financial condition and the condition of the financing markets. Our development activities are subject to a variety of factors including but not limited to: obtaining permits, licenses and approvals from appropriate regulatory and other agencies, legislative changes and, in certain circumstances, negotiating acceptable leases.

 

In June 2013, we completed the construction of Lady Luck Nemacolin, a new casino at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Western Pennsylvania, and our casino opened July 1, 2013. To date, we have expended $54.6 million, including licensing fees of $12.5 million.

 

On February 1, 2013, we signed an agreement with Tower Investments, Inc. to manage The Provence, the resort and casino on North Broad Street, Philadelphia, proposed by Tower Entertainment, LLC (the “Tower JV”), if the project is selected by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.  The Tower JV is one of six applicants for the final gaming license in Philadelphia. As part of our agreement with the Tower JV, we committed to loan $25 million to the Tower JV for the purpose of securing the Pennsylvania gaming license fee relating to the project.  The commitment for the loan is secured by a stand by letter of credit, which can only be drawn upon if the Tower JV is awarded the license. If the Tower JV is selected, we have the option to either 1) be repaid from the proceeds of permanent financing or 2) convert the $25 million loan into a minority investment in the Tower JV.

 

Historically, we have made significant investments in property and equipment and expect that our operations will continue to demand ongoing investments to keep our properties competitive. The timing, completion and amount of additional capital projects will be subject to improvement of economic and local market conditions, cash flows from our continuing operations and borrowing availability under our Credit Facility.

 

Typically, we have funded our daily operations through net cash provided by operating activities and our significant capital expenditures through operating cash flow and debt financing. While we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, there is no assurance that these sources will in fact provide adequate funding for our planned and necessary expenditures or that the level of our capital investments will be sufficient to allow us to remain competitive in our existing markets.

 

We are highly leveraged and may be unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms if our current sources of liquidity are not sufficient or if we fail to stay in compliance with the covenants of our Credit Facility. We will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at each of our existing locations in light of the operating performance of the facilities at such locations.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management identifies critical accounting estimates as:

 

·                  those that require the use of assumptions about matters that are inherently and highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made;

 

·                  those estimates where, had we chosen different estimates or assumptions, the resulting differences would have had a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations; and 

 

·                  those estimates that, if they were to change from period to period, likely would result in a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates set forth in our 2013 Annual Report.
