12. Loan Agreements


Lakes has a two-year interest-only $8.0 million revolving line of credit loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Centennial Bank that expires in October 2014. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by primarily all of Lakes’ interest in the real property it owns in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, bear interest at 8.95%. Lakes’ Chief Executive Officer, Lyle Berman, personally guaranteed the Loan Agreement on behalf of Lakes. As of September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the Loan Agreement.


In December 2012, Lakes closed on a $17.5 million financing facility with Centennial Bank (the “Facility”). The Facility is being used to finance a portion of the renovation and new event and conference center construction costs of Rocky Gap. Lakes was required to invest $17.5 million in the Rocky Gap project prior to drawing on the Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at 10.5%. The Facility is collateralized by the leasehold estate and the furniture, fixtures and equipment of Rocky Gap. In addition, Lakes guaranteed repayment of the loan and granted a second mortgage on its real property located in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Repayment of the loan will be interest-only for the first year, with payments of principal and interest amortized and paid over the subsequent seven years. As of September 29, 2013, $13.4 million had been drawn and was outstanding under the Facility. As of December 30, 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility.


Effective November 1, 2013, Lakes amended the Facility with Centennial Bank to reduce the interest rate from 10.5% to 5.5%. Monthly payments of principal and interest will begin on December 1, 2013 and continue for 84 months. Although Lakes does not currently plan to make further draws on the Facility, Lakes has the ability to draw the remaining $4.1 million on the Facility through December 31, 2018. Lakes is currently evaluating the impact that the amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.
