Explanatory Note

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 3, 2011, as Exhibit 10.29 to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed on March 29, 2011, in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 4, 2011 and in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 6, 2011, during 2011, Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), acquired the following businesses (collectively, the “Companies”):

 

•

On January 18, 2011, the Company exercised an option agreement and acquired a parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Nautica Phase 2” for $1.25 million from Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership (the “limited partnership”) located in what we call the Nautica Properties area in Cleveland, Ohio. The business was operated as a division of the limited partnership. The general partner owned 1% and the limited partners owned 99% of the limited partnership. Jeffrey P. Jacobs, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), owned 58% of the general partner interests and controlled the partnership. Third parties owned the remaining 42% of the general partner interests and the 99% limited partnership interest.

 

•

On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into and closed a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement and thereby acquired 100% of the membership interests in Cash Magic Springhill, LLC (“Springhill”), and Cash Magic Vivian, LLC (“Vivian”), Louisiana limited liability companies for approximately $5.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in cash. The Company funded the purchase price with corporate funds and borrowings under its bank revolving credit line.

 

•

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into and closed a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement and thereby acquired 100% of the membership interests in Jalou Forest Gold, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“Forest Gold”) for approximately $3 million in cash. The Company funded the purchase price with corporate funds and borrowings under its bank revolving credit line.

 

•

On October 3, 2011, the Company exercised its option and entered into and closed a Purchase Agreement with Sycamore & Main, Inc. to acquire its Nautica Properties based parking lot business and related assets for $1.1 million in cash. The Company funded the purchase price with corporate funds and borrowings under its bank revolving credit line. Sycamore & Main, Inc. was 80% owned by the Company’s CEO and 20% owned by third parties.

Springhill, Vivian and Forest Gold each own and operate a video poker truck plaza in Louisiana. The Company owns and operates 18 other similar facilities in Louisiana and has a share in revenue of a 19^th location. Springhill, Vivian and Forest Gold were acquired from Gameco Holdings, Inc. (“Gameco”), an affiliate of the Company. Gameco is owned and controlled by Jeffrey P. Jacobs who, directly and indirectly through family trusts, also controls the Company. Jeffrey P. Jacobs is the sole director and CEO of the Company.

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2011 to include the combined historical financial statements of the Companies and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.

ITEM 9.01 (a)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Partners, Members and Shareholders of

Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership, Cash Magic Springhill, LLC, Cash Magic Vivian, LLC, Jalou Forest Gold, LLC, and Sycamore & Main, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Nautica Phase 2 (a division of Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership), Cash Magic Springhill, LLC, Cash Magic Vivian, LLC, Jalou Forest Gold, LLC and Sycamore & Main, Inc. (collectively, the “Companies”), all of which are under common control and common management, as of December 31, 2010, and the related combined statements of operations, equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companies’ internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Companies as of December 31, 2010, and the Companies’ combined results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As disclosed in Note 1, the Nautica Phase 2 financial information combined in the accompanying financial statements has been prepared from the separate records maintained by Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership and may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if Nautica Phase 2 had been operated as an unaffiliated entity. Portions of certain expenses and balance sheet items represent charges and allocations made from home-office items applicable to Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership as a whole or transactions with other businesses owned by Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

1.	NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. (“JEI”) was formed on April 17, 2001 to become a geographically diversified gaming and pari-mutuel wagering company with properties in Colorado, Nevada, Louisiana, and Virginia. JEI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jacobs Investments, Inc. (“JII”) and a Qualified Subchapter S-Corporation Subsidiary under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Jeffrey P. Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and his family trusts own 100% of JII’s outstanding common stock. These persons and their affiliates are referred to herein as “Jacobs.”

Gameco Holdings, Inc. (“Gameco”), another wholly owned subsidiary of JII, is an owner and operator of truck plaza video gaming facilities in Louisiana, which are collectively referred to as “truck stops” or “truck plazas.” Each truck stop facility consists of a restaurant, a convenience store with fuel pumps and a video poker casino. Jalou Amite, LLC (“Amite”) was formed on June 13, 2006 and on July 12, 2006, acquired its truck stop operations from an unaffiliated party. Jalou Forest Gold, LLC (“Forest Gold”) was formed on June 13, 2006 and on July 12, 2006, acquired its truck stop operations from an unaffiliated party. Cash Magic Springhill, LLC (“Springhill”) was formed on August 29, 2006 and on November 8, 2006, acquired its truck stop operations from an unaffiliated party. Cash Magic Vivian, LLC (“Vivian”) was formed on August 29, 2006 and on November 8, 2006, acquired its truck stop operations from an unaffiliated party. Amite is wholly owned by Gameco. Forest Gold, Springhill and Vivian were all previously wholly owned by Gameco and acquired by JEI during 2011. See below.

The JEI and Gameco video gaming operations are regulated by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (the “LGCB”). The Louisiana State Police’s Video Gaming Division (the “Division”) serves under the jurisdiction of the LGCB. The Division’s primary functions are to conduct investigations of applicants and submit application findings to the LGCB for licensing determination, enforce all applicable video gaming regulations and monitor licensees and gaming devices statewide.

For the Louisiana truck stop video gaming enterprises, the number of allowed video gaming devices is determined by the level of fuel sales based on gallons sold. Based on the level of fuel sales, gaming enterprises can operate up to a maximum of 50 gaming devices per property. The level of fuel sales as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, allowed JEI and Gameco to operate a total of 50 devices at each of the truck stop locations included in these combined financial statements. Should fuel sales decline and the number of gaming devices be reduced, revenues and income could decrease at the truck stop locations.

---

Truck Plaza Acquisitions

On January 31, 2011, JEI acquired Springhill and Vivian from Gameco for $5,462 and $4,913, respectively. On March 31, 2011, JEI acquired Forest Gold from Gameco for $3,025. The acquisitions of these truck stops were accounted for by JEI as combinations of entities under common control.

Nautica Properties Acquisitions

During July 2006, JEI acquired from various affiliated parties options to lease and options to purchase six businesses and their related assets, including various parcels of land, buildings and related improvements, on the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. These businesses and their related assets are referred to as the “Nautica Properties.”

On January 18, 2011, JEI exercised one of these option agreements and acquired a Nautica Properties based parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Nautica Phase 2” for $1,250 from Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership (the “limited partnership”). The business was operated as a division of the limited partnership. The general partner owned 1% and the limited partners owned 99% of the limited partnership. JEI’s CEO owned 58% of the general partner interests and controlled the partnership. Third parties owned the remaining 42% of the general partner interests and the 99% limited partnership interest. Therefore, upon the acquisition by JEI, the portion of Nautica Phase 2 acquired from JEI’s CEO has been recorded by JEI at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and the portion of Nautica Phase 2 acquired from third parties has been recorded by JEI at fair value using the acquisition method of accounting in the accompanying financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In order to determine the portions of the limited partnership financial statements related to Nautica Phase 2 acquired by JEI, it was necessary for management to make certain assignments and apportionments. Wherever possible, account balances and specific amounts that directly related to the Nautica Phase 2 operations were assigned directly to Nautica Phase 2, as appropriate. When no direct assignment was feasible, account balances were apportioned using a variety of factors based on management’s understanding of the account balance being apportioned. The historical land cost and improvements were apportioned based on square footage of the land acquired by JEI. Notes payable apportioned to Nautica Phase 2 were based on the initial capital requirements of the various businesses operated by the limited partnership. Principal and interest payments were based on the apportioned amounts of notes payable. See Note 4 below.

On October 3, 2011, JEI exercised another one of these option agreements and acquired an additional Nautica Properties based parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Sycamore & Main” for $1,100. Our CEO owned 80% and third parties owned the remaining 20% of the business. Therefore, the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from our CEO will be recorded by JEI at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from third parties will be recorded by JEI at fair value at the acquisition date using the acquisition method of accounting.

---

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Nautica Phase 2, Springhill, Vivian, Forest Gold, and Sycamore & Main, each of which qualify as an entity under common control and common management both before and after their acquisition by JEI. Collectively, these entities will be referred to herein as the “Companies.” These combined financial statements have been prepared as required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Combination—The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the Companies for the full duration of each period presented due to the common control and common management before and after the acquisition dates noted above. The accompanying combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 reflects the net assets of Nautica Phase 2 acquired from noncontrolling interest holders at their estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The estimated fair value of these net assets was not materially different than the historical value as of December 31, 2010. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Companies have evaluated subsequent events through December 19, 2011, which represents the date the financial statements were issued.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Companies consider all demand deposits and time deposits with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash—Forest Gold is required to maintain certain compensating cash balances on deposit for utilities. These cash balances are reported as restricted cash in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable balances primarily consist of receivables from convenience store fuel sales on account. Generally, receivables are collected within two months and the Companies have had minimal bad debt losses. The Companies routinely assess the recoverability of all material receivables to determine their collectability.

Inventory—Inventory consists of fuel, convenience store, and restaurant items and is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives used are as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements			15–39 years
Equipment and fixtures			5–15 years

Costs of major improvements are capitalized, while costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of assets are recognized as incurred.

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. See Note 2.

---

Identifiable Intangible Assets—Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of device use rights associated with the video poker machines used at each truck stop and restriction agreements associated with the three original truck stop acquisitions from third parties. Device use rights are amortized on a straight line basis over five years and the restriction agreements are amortized on a straight line basis over ten years, representing the terms of the related agreements.

Long-Lived Assets—The Companies periodically evaluate the value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment and identifiable intangibles for potential impairment. If impairment is indicated, such impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, management determined there was no impairment of the Companies’ long-lived assets.

Revenue—Video poker revenue is the net winnings from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Video poker revenue is recognized as earned. The Companies recognize fuel, convenience store, food and beverage and parking revenue at the time of sale.

Promotional Allowances—Gross revenues include the retail amount of food and beverages provided gratuitously to customers. When computing net revenues, the retail amount of food and beverages gratuitously provided to customers is deducted from gross revenues as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of such complimentary services is charged to video poker or convenience store operations, as applicable, and was $216 (unaudited) and $204 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The estimated cost of such promotions was $274 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Income Taxes—The Companies are pass through entities for income tax purposes, and, consequently, the respective owners will report the income (loss) of these entities on their income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes that these estimates are reasonable based on past experience with the business and based on upon assumptions related to possible outcomes in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Companies have determined that the policies associated with long-lived assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, and related estimates are critical to the preparation of the combined financial statements. The Companies have a significant investment in long-lived property and equipment. The Companies estimate that the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets exceeds the current carrying value of these assets. Any adverse change to the estimate of these undiscounted cash flows could necessitate an impairment charge that would adversely affect operating results. The Companies estimate the useful lives for their assets based on historical experience, estimates of assets’ commercial lives, and the likelihood of obsolescence. Should the actual useful life of a class of assets differ from the estimated useful life, the Companies would record an impairment charge.

2.

GOODWILL

The Companies test goodwill for impairment as of September 30 each year or when circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of the Companies’ reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values. The Companies consider a variety of factors when estimating the fair values of its reporting units, including estimates about future operating results of each reporting unit, multiples of EBITDA, investment banker market analyses, and recent sales of comparable business units if such information is available. A variety of estimates and judgments about the relevance and comparability of these factors to the reporting units are made. As of September 30, 2011, we believe the carrying value of the goodwill held in our reporting units was not impaired. However, market conditions in 2010 resulted in Forest Gold not meeting financial expectations. Consequently, Forest Gold recorded an impairment charge of $836 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010. There has been no change in the carrying value of goodwill during 2011.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

 

		September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
		(Unaudited)
Balance—beginning of period		$	2,257			$	3,093
Impairment			—				(836	)
Balance—end of period		$	2,257			$	2,257

In addition, as of September 30, 2011, the Companies have reassessed the useful lives of their identifiable intangible assets without any change to the previously established amortization periods of such assets.

ITEM 9.01 (b)

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are presented to show the Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. (“JEI”) results of operations given the impact of the Sycamore & Main, Inc. acquisition described below. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been retroactively adjusted and presented in JEI’s September 30, 2011 Form 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011 and accordingly reflect the impact of the acquisitions described below, except for the acquisition of Sycamore & Main, Inc.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, are presented to show the JEI results of operations given the impact of the acquisitions described below.

 

•

On January 18, 2011, JEI acquired a parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Nautica Phase 2” for $1.25 million from Nautica Phase 2 Limited Partnership (the “limited partnership”) located in what we call the Nautica Properties area in Cleveland, Ohio. The business was operated as a division of the limited partnership. The general partner owned 1% and the limited partners owned 99% of the limited partnership. Jeffrey P. Jacobs, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), owned 58% of the general partner interests and controlled the partnership. Third parties owned the remaining 42% of the general partner interests and the 99% limited partnership interest. Therefore, the portion of Nautica Phase 2 acquired from our CEO has been recorded at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and the portion of Nautica Phase 2 acquired from third parties has been recorded at fair value at the acquisition date using the acquisition method of accounting;

 

•

On January 31, 2011, JEI acquired 100% of the membership interests in two truck plaza video gaming facilities in Louisiana, Cash Magic Springhill, LLC (“Springhill”) and Cash Magic Vivian, LLC (“Vivian”), (wholly owned subsidiaries of Gameco Holdings, Inc., an entity under common control and with common management) (“Gameco”) for a purchase price of $5.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively;

 

•

On March 31, 2011, JEI acquired 100% of the membership interests in one additional truck plaza video gaming facility in Louisiana, Jalou Forest Gold, LLC (“Forest Gold”), for $3.0 million, which was also wholly owned by Gameco;

 

•

On October 3, 2011, JEI acquired 100% of an additional Nautica Properties based parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Sycamore & Main” for $1.1 million. Our CEO owned 80% and third parties owned the remaining 20% of the business. Therefore, the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from our CEO has been recorded at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from third parties has been recorded at fair value at the acquisition date using the acquisition method of accounting.

---

The acquisition method of accounting, which is applicable to the portion of Nautica Phase 2 and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from third parties, requires the aggregate purchase price to be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is based on management’s best estimate. The final allocation of the purchase price for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be determined within a reasonable time after the consummation of the transactions and will be based on a complete evaluation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the information presented herein may differ from the final purchase price allocation.

The acquisition of the portion of Nautica Phase 2 and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from our CEO and the acquisitions of the membership interests of Springhill, Vivian and Forest Gold (collectively, “truck stops” or “truck plazas”) referred to above have been accounted for as combinations of entities under common control. Therefore, the acquisitions have been recorded at each entity’s historical book value in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the JEI consolidated financial statements issued after the consummation of each acquisition have been or will be retroactively adjusted to include the operations of Nautica Phase 2, the truck plaza acquisitions and Sycamore & Main from the beginning of the earliest year presented. As such, the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 have been retroactively adjusted to include the operations of the Nautica Phase 2, Springhill, Vivian and Forest Gold businesses from January 1, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable but are subject to change. In our opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that would have been achieved had the transactions reflected therein been consummated as of the dates indicated, or of the results of operations or financial position for any future periods. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes for the periods presented.

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

During July 2006, Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. (“JEI”) acquired from various affiliated parties options to lease and options to purchase six businesses and their related assets, including various parcels of land, buildings and related improvements, on the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio. These businesses and their related assets are referred to as the Nautica Properties. On January 18, 2011, JEI acquired one of the Nautica Properties based parking lot businesses and its related assets referred to as “Nautica Phase 2” for $1,250 from a limited partnership. The general partner owned 1% and the limited partners owned 99% of the limited partnership. Jeffrey P. Jacobs, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), owned 58% of the general partner interests and controlled the partnership. Third parties owned the remaining 42% of the general partner interests and the 99% limited partnership interest. Additionally, on October 3, 2011, JEI acquired another Nautica Properties based parking lot business and its related assets referred to as “Sycamore & Main” for $1,100. Our CEO owned 80% and third parties owned the remaining 20%. Therefore, the portion of Nautica Phase 2 and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from our CEO have been recorded at the historical cost bases in the assets and liabilities transferred and the portion of Nautica Phase 2 and the portion of Sycamore & Main acquired from third parties have been recorded at fair value at the acquisition date using the acquisition method of accounting.

The acquisition method of accounting requires the aggregate purchase price to be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is based on management’s best estimate. The final allocation of the purchase price for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be determined within a reasonable time after the consummation of the transactions and will be based on a complete evaluation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the information presented herein may differ from the final purchase price allocation.

Additionally, on January 31, 2011, JEI acquired two truck plaza video gaming facilities in Louisiana, Cash Magic Springhill, LLC (“Springhill”) and Cash Magic Vivian, LLC (“Vivian”), for $5,462 and $4,913, respectively, which were previously wholly owned by Gameco Holdings, Inc.
