4. Rocky Gap


In April 2012, a video lottery operation license (“License”) for the Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort (“Rocky Gap”) was awarded to the Company by the State of Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission. In August 2012, Lakes acquired the assets of Rocky Gap for $6.8 million and simultaneously entered into an operating lease for the underlying land (see note 19, Commitments and Contingencies). The AAA Four Diamond Award® winning resort included a hotel, convention center, spa, two restaurants and the only Jack Nicklaus signature golf course in Maryland.


After acquiring Rocky Gap, the Company converted the existing convention center space into a gaming facility and renamed the property Rocky Gap Casino Resort. The gaming facility opened to the public on May 22, 2013 and features 558 video lottery terminals (“VLTs”), 10 table games, three poker tables, a casino bar and a new lobby food and beverage outlet. A new event and conference center is being constructed which will be able to accommodate large groups and will feature multiple flexible use meeting rooms and is expected to be available for use in mid-November of 2013. The total initial cost of the Rocky Gap project is currently expected to be approximately $35.0 million, which includes the initial acquisition cost.


The operating results of Rocky Gap are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the non-Indian casino projects segment from the date of acquisition. Amortization of the License began on the date the gaming facility opened for public play and is being amortized over its 15 year term.


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are presented as if the acquisition had been completed at the beginning of the period. The amounts shown for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013 are based on actual results for the period:

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on the first day of the 2012 period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be realized from the integration of the acquisition. The following adjustments have been made to the pro forma net earnings (loss) attributable to Lakes and pro forma earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the table above:


 

●

Management and service fees paid by Rocky Gap to the previous management company have been excluded as Rocky Gap would not have incurred these costs if owned by Lakes.


 

●

Ground rent expense incurred by Rocky Gap has been adjusted to reflect the terms of the lease agreement that Lakes and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (“Maryland DNR”) entered into upon the acquisition of Rocky Gap, as further discussed in note 19, Commitments and Contingencies.


 

●

Interest expense incurred by Rocky Gap has been excluded as Lakes did not assume the debt of Rocky Gap upon the acquisition of the property.
