ISLE OF CAPRI CASINOS, INC.

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. Our wholly owned subsidiaries own or operate fourteen casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Black Hawk, Colorado; Pompano Beach, Florida; Bettendorf, Marquette and Waterloo, Iowa; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Boonville, Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville and Kansas City, Missouri; and Nemacolin, Pennsylvania.

 

2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed 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 condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. The accompanying interim condensed 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 condensed 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 26, 2015 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 2016 and 2015 are both 52-week years, which commenced on April 27, 2015 and April 28, 2014, respectively.

 

The condensed 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.

 

3.  New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which converges the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s current standards on revenue recognition. The standard provides companies with a single model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue guidance. In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of this new standard to be effective for the standard is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted for annual periods after December 15, 2016. The standard permits companies to either apply the adoption to all periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption through a cumulative adjustment.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our financial statements and disclosures.

4. Discontinued Operations

 

On October 19, 2015, we closed our casino property in Natchez, Mississippi and completed the previously announced sale of the hotel and related certain non-gaming assets to Casino Holding Investment Partners, LLC for net cash proceeds of $11,448.  As a result, we recorded a net gain of $2,000 in discontinued operations for the six months ended October 25, 2015. The net gain consisted of a gain on the sale of the hotel and related non-gaming assets of $6,424, offset by a non-cash pretax charge of $4,424 related to the write-off of the Natchez gaming vessel and certain other assets.

 

We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”) on April 27, 2015. The disposition of our Natchez reporting unit qualifies for discontinued accounting treatment under ASU 2014-08 and as such, the operations of our Natchez property have been classified as discontinued operations and as assets held for sale for all periods presented.

 

The Company incurred $307 and $625 for capital expenditures at our Natchez property during the six months ended October 25, 2015 and October 26, 2014, respectively.

 

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”) 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 guaranteed by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries.

 

Our net revolving line of credit availability at October 25, 2015, as limited by our outstanding borrowings, was approximately $190,000, after consideration of approximately $7,000 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 six months ended October 25, 2015 was 2.67%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with 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 October 25, 2015.

 

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. On April 14, 2015, we issued an additional $150,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes at a price of 102.0%, which have the same terms and are treated as the same class as the outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes (the “April 2015 issuance”). After deducting the underwriting fees, the net proceeds of $151,500 from the April 2015 issuance were used to purchase a portion of the 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer for any and all of our outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes (the “Tender Offer”). As a result of these issuances, we capitalized deferred financing costs of $217 in the six months ended October 25, 2015 and $2,536 in fiscal 2015.

 

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”).  On April 13, 2015, we accepted for purchase $237,832 of the outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and we funded the payments utilizing the net proceeds from the 5.875% Senior Notes April 2015 issuance, additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. On April 14, 2015, we issued an irrevocable notice of redemption of the remaining $62,168 of outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 103.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the

redemption date in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes.  On May 14, 2015, we completed the redemption for approximately $65,000, utilizing additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. As a result of the completed redemption, we incurred expenses related to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing costs and the discount, redemption fees and other related costs of $2,966, recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended October 25, 2015.

 

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 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 12. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.

 

The indentures governing the 5.875% 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.

 

6.  Other Long-Term Obligations

 

Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center—We entered into agreements with the City of Bettendorf, Iowa in connection with the City’s construction of a convention center which opened in January 2009, adjacent to our hotel. Under these agreements, we lease, manage, and provide financial and operating support for the convention center. The Company was deemed, for accounting purposes only, to be the owner of the convention center during the construction period. Upon completion of the convention center we were precluded from accounting for the transaction as a sale and leaseback due to our continuing involvement. Therefore, we are accounting for the transaction using the direct financing method. Under the terms of our agreements for the convention center, we have also guaranteed certain obligations related to notes issued by the City of Bettendorf, Iowa for the construction of the convention center.

 

On May 4, 2015, we made a payment of approximately $9,400 related to the notes issued by the City per the terms of our agreement with borrowings from our Credit Facility. With this prepayment, we have fulfilled our financial obligation related to the Convention Center and have no future payments under this long-term obligation. The remaining balance of the long-term obligation will remain on our consolidated balance sheet until completion of the lease agreement, at which time the related fixed assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and the net remaining obligation over the net carrying value of the associated fixed assets would be recognized as a gain on sale of the facility.

Our basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Stock options representing 65,460 shares, which were anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015.

 

Due to the loss from continuing operations, stock options representing 43,945 and 44,418 shares, which are potentially dilutive, and 205,060 shares, which were anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 26, 2014. As the minimum market performance conditions related to our restricted stock units had not been achieved as of October 26, 2014, 753,860 units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended October 26, 2014.

 

8.  Stock Based Compensation

 

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

 

Restricted Stock Units—During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we granted 104,982 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees with a fair market value of $14.89 per unit on the date of grant. The RSUs will vest and be converted to stock ratably over three years commencing on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.  As of

 

10



 

October 25, 2015, our unrecognized compensation cost for these RSUs was $1,086.  Considering the population of employees receiving this award, our current estimate of forfeitures is 0%.

 

During fiscal 2013, we granted RSUs containing market performance conditions which determined the number of RSUs awarded. The market condition period ended April 26, 2015 and a gross award of 1,532,417 shares was achieved. Per the terms of the award agreement, the awards were issued net of shares necessary to pay minimum withholding taxes with 50% of the RSUs vesting on April 26, 2015 and the remainder vesting on April 26, 2016.  The fair value of these RSUs was initially determined utilizing a lattice pricing model which considered a range of assumptions including volatility and risk-free interest rates.  The aggregate compensation cost related to these RSUs was $4,637 to be recognized over the vesting periods. As of October 25, 2015, our unrecognized compensation cost remaining on the second RSU tranche vesting April 26, 2016 was $289 and an estimated 465,679 shares will be issued net of shares to pay minimum withholding taxes for the second tranche.

 

Performance Stock Units—During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees with a company performance condition which will determine the number of shares which will ultimately vest, if any, up to 251,964 shares.  Any shares earned will vest at the end of three years from the date of grant.  The probability of meeting the performance condition will be assessed on a regular basis and compensation cost will be adjusted accordingly. The aggregate compensation cost related to these PSUs, based on the target number of shares awarded, is $2,501 to be recognized over the vesting periods. As of October 25, 2015, our unrecognized compensation cost for these PSUs is $2,084, based on current probability assumptions. Considering the population of employees receiving this award, our current estimate of forfeitures is 0%.

 

Restricted Stock—During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we issued 102,922 shares of restricted stock to employees with a grant-date fair value of $20.10 and 38,431 shares of restricted stock with a weigthed-average grant date fair value of $18.21 to directors.  Restricted stock awards are made to employees and directors under annual long-term incentive grants which primarily vest one-third on each anniversary of the grant date. Our aggregate estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock for employees and directors is 10% and 0%, respectively. As of October 25, 2015, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock was $1,959 with a remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.22 years.

 

Stock Options—During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we issued 378,905 non-qualified stock options, which have a maximum term of seven years and are exercisable in yearly installments of 20% commencing one year after the grant date. The options have a per share grant date fair value of $5.764 utilizing the Black-Sholes-Merton option pricing model with the range of assumptions disclosed in the following table:

Weighted average volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of our stock price over a range of dates equal to the expected term of the grant’s options. The weighted average expected term is calculated using historical data that is representative of the option for which the fair value is to be determined. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the approximate period of time equivalent to the grant’s expected term.  Considering the population of employees receiving stock options, our current estimate of forfeitures is 0%. As of October 25, 2015, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested options was $1,685.

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 provision consists of changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles and expense in state jurisdictions without net operating loss carryforwards that are fully offset by valuation allowances.

 

As of October 25, 2015, we have a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets other than those related to the state and local deferred tax assets at our Florida and Kansas City casinos.  Despite our recent positive financial results, we believe the remaining valuation allowances continue to be necessary to offset our deferred tax assets. We continue to monitor our cumulative income position, income trends, and future projections of sustained profitability for all of our operations with deferred tax assets subject to valuation allowances.

11.  Supplemental Disclosures

The change in accrued purchases of property and equipment in accounts payable was an increase of $4,739 and $573, for the six months ended October 25, 2015 and October 26, 2014, respectively.

 

During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we capitalized interest of $212, primarily related to our land based casino construction and hotel renovations at our Bettendorf property.

13.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings— 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 resulted 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 are seeking damages of approximately $3,800. In August 2014, we filed a cross claim against the general contractor alleging breach of contract and various indemnity claims. Subsequent to October 25, 2015, all parties reached a settlement fully resolving all claims related to this matter and we capitalized additional construction costs of $1,375.

 

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 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.

Executive Overview

 

We are a 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.

 

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 26, 2015 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 October 25, 2015 and October 26, 2014 are as follows:

 

Long-term Debt — In May 2015, we redeemed the remaining $62 million of our 7.75% Senior Notes and incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million in the six months ended October 25, 2015.

 

Corporate Restructuring — During the six months ended October 26, 2014, we eliminated executive positions in the corporate office to maximize efficiency and streamline reporting lines, resulting in severance expense of $2.3 million.

 

22



 

Colorado Referendum Costs — During the three and six months ended October 26, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $3.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively, in support of efforts to defeat the proposed November 2014 referendum that would have expanded gaming to racetracks in certain Colorado counties.

 

Property Tax Settlement — During the three months ended October 26, 2014, we reduced property tax expense by $1.2 million as a result of the settlement of our property tax appeal at our Waterloo, Iowa property for calendar years 2011 through 2014.

 

Discontinued Operations — On October 19, 2015, we closed our casino property in Natchez, Mississippi and completed the previously announced sale of the hotel and related certain non-gaming assets to Casino Holding Investment Partners, LLC for net cash proceeds of $11.4 million.  As a result, we recorded a net gain of $2.0 million in discontinued operations for the six months ended October 25, 2015. The net gain consisted of a gain on the sale of the hotel and related non-gaming assets of $6.4 million, offset by a non-cash pretax charge of $4.4 million related to the write-off of the Natchez gaming vessel and certain other assets. As such, the operations of our Natchez property have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Casino Casino revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 0.4%, for the three months ended October 25, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015. This decrease reflects a strategic reduction in promotional allowances during the current fiscal quarter.

 

Casino revenues increased $9.4 million, or 1.9%, for the six months ended October 25, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015, primarily due to strategic marketing decisions and improved economic conditions.

 

Casino operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 2.9%, and $1.4 million, or 1.8%, for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in casino operating expenses reflects our continuing efforts to manage our casino operating expenses.

 

Gaming Taxes State and local gaming taxes increased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, and increased $3.2 million, or 2.5%, for the three and six months ended October 25 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, which is a result of changes in our overall gaming revenues and changes in the mix of gaming revenues derived from states with different gaming tax rates.

 

Rooms Rooms revenue decreased $0.4 million, or 4.9%, and $0.3 million, or 2.0%, for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to hotel renovation projects at our Bettendorf and Boonville properties resulting in rooms being out of service and reduced complementaries during the current fiscal quarter.

 

Food, Beverage, Pari-Mutuel and Other — Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other revenue decreased $2.3 million, or 6.8%, for the three months ended October 25, 2015, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2015, primarily resulting from reduced complementaries during the current fiscal quarter.

 

Promotional Allowances Promotional allowances decreased $5.6 million, or 9.7%, and $5.5 million, or 4.9%, for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015, reflecting  changes in our marketing programs.

 

Marketing and Administrative   Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $2.9 million, or 5.2%, for the three months ended October 25, 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Excluding $3.0 million of costs incurred to defeat the Colorado referendum and the $1.2 million credit related to the property tax settlement in Waterloo, marketing and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 2.0%, reflecting changes in our marketing programs as well as savings from cost reduction initiatives.

 

Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million, or 3.7%, for the six months ended October 25, 2015  as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Excluding $4.1 million of costs incurred to defeat the Colorado referendum and the $1.2 million credit related to the property tax settlement at Waterloo, marketing

and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 1.3%, reflecting changes in our marketing programs as well as savings from cost reduction initiatives.

 

Corporate and Development — During the three months ended October 25, 2015, our corporate and development expenses were $7.0 million compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended October 26, 2014. The increase primarily reflects increased stock compensation expense of $0.5 million.

 

During the six months ended October 25, 2015, our corporate and development expenses were $14.6 million compared to $15.9 million for the six months ended October 26, 2014. Excluding $2.3 million of severance incurred in the prior year from the corporate restructuring, corporate expenses increased $1.0 million, or 7.4%, primarily on increased stock compensation expense of $0.9 million.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015 increased $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, primarily due to depreciation of current capital expenditures and accelerated depreciation of our riverboat in Bettendorf.

Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $4.1 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended October 25, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is a result of a decrease in our overall debt balance as well as the benefit of refinancing our 7.75% Senior Notes.

 

Income Tax Provision Our income tax provision from continuing operations was impacted by changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles and expense for state jurisdictions where taxable income is generated. Our tax provision was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended October 25, 2015 and October 26, 2014 and $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended October 25, 2015 and October 26, 2014, 2014, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we generated $61.4 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to generating $48.9 million during the six months ended

 

25



 

October 26, 2014. The year over year increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily the result of the increase in operating income and changes in working capital.

 

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities - During the six months ended October 25, 2015, we used $22.0 million for investing activities compared to using $17.9 million during the six months ended October 26, 2014. Significant investing activities for the six months ended October 25, 2015 included capital expenditures of $33.2 million offset by proceeds received from sales of assets held for sale of $11.4 million. Significant investing activities for the six months ended October 26, 2014 included capital expenditures of $18.7 million, offset by the change in restricted cash and investments of $0.7 million.

 

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities — During the six months ended October 25, 2015, our financing activities utilized $45.6 million primarily to redeem the remaining 7.75% Senior Notes and pay related costs.  Significant transactions are as follow:

 

·                  On May 14, 2015 we redeemed the remaining $62.2 million of our 7.75% Senior Notes at a price of 103.875%, including accrued and unpaid interest.

 

·                  Net borrowings under our Credit Facility increased $28.1 million.

 

·                  On May 4, 2015 we paid $9.4 million related to our obligation for certain bonds issued by the City of Bettendorf, Iowa

 

·                  We received $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

During the six months ended October 26, 2014, our net cash flows used in financing activities were used primarily to repay borrowings under our Credit Facility of $31.9 million.

 

Availability of Cash and Additional Capital - At October 25, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60.2 million and marketable securities of $19.6 million. As of October 25, 2015, we had $103.1 million in outstanding revolving credit borrowings under our Credit Facility and our net line of credit availability was approximately $190.0 million, as limited by our outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

 

Capital Expenditures and Development Activities— We began construction of a land-based casino at our property in Bettendorf, Iowa during May 2015. We have spent $4.4 million to date this fiscal year and estimate the total construction cost of this project to be up to $60 million with a 12 to 14 month construction period. For the project to date, we have spent $6.6 million. During August 2015, we began renovation of our hotel at our Boonville, Missouri property with a total estimated cost of $5.5 million. This renovation includes refurbishment of 140 hotel rooms, meeting and convention space and public  areas. We currently estimate completion of this project by the end of December 2015. We will fund these capital projects with cash generated by our operations and borrowing under our Credit Facility.

 

Historically, as part of our business development activities, 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.

 

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.

 

26



 

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 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates set forth in our 2015 Annual Report.

 

ITEM 3.                         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, including interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our Credit Facility.

 

ITEM 4.                         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of October 25, 2015.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of October 25, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934 and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

27



 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended October 25, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.                         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

A reference is made to the information contained in Footnote 13 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 1A.                RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 26, 2015, except for the following:

 

Our operations in certain jurisdictions depend on agreements with third parties.

 

Our operations in several jurisdictions depend on agreements with third parties. If we are unable to renew these agreements on satisfactory terms as they expire, our business may be disrupted and, in the event of disruptions in multiple jurisdictions, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, Iowa law requires that each gambling venue in Iowa must have a licensed “Qualified Sponsoring Organization,” or QSO, which is a tax-exempt non-profit organization. The QSO must donate the profits it receives from casino operations to educational, civic, public, charitable, patriotic or religious uses. Each of our three Iowa properties has an agreement with a local QSO. We have the right to renew our agreements for Bettendorf and Waterloo when they expire in 2019 and 2018, respectively, but we do not have the automatic right to renew our agreement for Marquette when it expires in 2019. In March 2015, we entered into an amendment to our agreement for Bettendorf that extended the agreement to March 2025, after which we have the right to renew for succeeding five-year periods. In October 2015, we entered into an amendment to our agreement for Marquette that extended the agreement to June 2044.

 

We have a management agreement with Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, the owner of the gaming license issued by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board allowing operation of a casino at the resort. Under the terms of this agreement, we constructed and currently operate a casino at the resort. Our management agreement is subject to a buy-out provision on or after December 31, 2021, as well as other terms and conditions which could result in termination of the management agreement. The base term of the agreement is ten years, with four, five-year renewal options. Additionally, each party to the management agreement has certain termination rights. If the management agreement is terminated, we will no longer have the right to manage our casino at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.
