9.  Land


Lakes owns parcels of undeveloped land related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Jamul Indian Village (the “Jamul Tribe”) near San Diego, California. During the third quarter of 2012, Lakes entered into a ten-year option agreement (“Original Option Agreement”) with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn National”) that granted Penn National the right to purchase this land for $7.0 million, increasing 1% each year, but Penn National had no obligation to purchase the land. The Original Option Agreement was amended on May 15, 2014 to reduce the purchase price of the land to $5.5 million but requires Penn National to purchase the land within ten days after the Jamul Tribe opens a casino on its reservation. Annual option payments of less than $0.1 million are required to be made by Penn National to Lakes. As of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, this land is carried at approximately $1.0 million on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Lakes also owns undeveloped land in Oklahoma related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma. During the second quarter of 2014, Lakes engaged a broker to sell this land which was previously held for development. As a result, during the second quarter of 2014, Lakes reclassified the land as held for sale, which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2014 and is carried at approximately $0.2 million, which is its estimated fair value less expected cost to sell. As of December 29, 2013, the land was classified as held for development and was carried at approximately $0.2 million on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.


The Company performs an impairment analysis on the land it owns at least quarterly and determined that no impairment had occurred as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013.
