9. Land Held for Sale / Development
 
The Company owns parcels of undeveloped land related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Jamul Tribe near San Diego, California. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into a ten-year option agreement with Penn National that granted Penn National the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the land for $7.0 million, increasing 1% each year. This option agreement was amended in May 2014 to reduce the purchase price for the land to $5.5 million but require 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 the Company. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that it would likely sell the land to Penn National under the option agreement within the next twelve months. As a result, this land was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2015 and December 28, 2014, this land was carried at approximately $1.0 million on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
The Company also owned undeveloped land in Oklahoma related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma. During 2014, the Company sold this land for approximately $0.3 million and recognized a gain of approximately $0.1 million.
 
The Company performs an impairment analysis on the land it owns at least quarterly and determined that no impairment had occurred as of December 31, 2015 and December 28, 2014.
