10. Debt


Loan Agreement


Lakes had a two-year interest-only $8.0 million revolving line of credit loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Centennial Bank that expired on October, 28 2014. The Loan Agreement was collateralized by primarily all of Lakes’ interest in the real property it owns in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Lakes’ Chief Executive Officer, Lyle Berman, personally guaranteed the Loan Agreement on behalf of Lakes. The Loan Agreement allowed for an interest rate of 8.95% on any amounts borrowed. No amounts were ever borrowed under the Loan Agreement and as such, as of September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, no amounts were outstanding under the Loan Agreement.


Financing Facility


In December 2012, Lakes closed on a $17.5 million financing facility with Centennial Bank (the “Financing Facility”) to finance a portion of Rocky Gap project costs. Approximately $13.4 million was drawn on the Financing Facility. Lakes was required to invest $17.5 million in the Rocky Gap project prior to drawing on the Financing Facility. The Financing 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. Effective November 1, 2013, Lakes amended the Financing Facility with Centennial Bank to reduce the interest rate from 10.5% to 5.5%. Monthly payments of principal and interest began on December 1, 2013 and continue for 84 months. Although Lakes does not currently plan to make further draws on the Financing Facility, Lakes has the ability to draw the remaining $4.1 million on the Financing Facility through December 31, 2018. As of September 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013, $12.1 million and $13.3 million of principal was outstanding under the Financing Facility, respectively.


As a result of the amendment of the Financing Facility with Centennial Bank effective November 1, 2013, Lakes recorded a $1.7 million gain on modification of debt during the fourth quarter of 2013. This amount included $2.0 million recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the Financing Facility, which is being accreted to interest expense over the term of the Financing Facility using the effective interest method, and $0.3 million of original debt issuance costs expensed at the time of the amendment. Accretion of the discount to interest expense was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2014.
