Description Of Business And Basis Of Presentation | 1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Century Casinos, Inc. (“CCI” or the “Company”) is an international casino entertainment company. As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned casino operations in North America, managed cruise ship-based casinos on international and Alaskan waters, held a majority ownership interest in nine casinos throughout Poland, and had a management contract to manage the casino in the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa. The Company currently owns, operates and manages the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries in North America:
- | The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;
- | The Century Casino Calgary, Alberta, Canada;
- | The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado; and
- | The Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado.
The Company operates 12 ship-based casinos onboard four cruise lines: Oceania Cruises, TUI Cruises, Windstar Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. In addition, in February 2014 the Company announced that it signed an exclusive agreement with Nova Star Cruises Ltd. to operate a ship-based casino on board the Nova Star. Nova Star Cruises Ltd. will operate a round trip cruise ferry service connecting Portland, Maine and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The ferry service is scheduled to start May 15, 2014. In May 2014, Windstar Cruises launched the Star Pride, the first of three newly acquired all suite cruise ships. We operate the ship-based casino aboard this 212 passenger ship. Windstar Cruises is planning to begin operations on the other two vessels during the second quarter of 2015, and we expect to operate the planned ship-based casinos aboard each ship. In addition, in June 2014, TUI Cruises plans to launch the Mein Schiff 3. We will operate the ship-based casino aboard this 2,506 passenger ship. In March 2007, the Company’s subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH (“CCE”) acquired 33.3% of the outstanding shares issued by Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL” or “Casinos Poland”) and the Company accounted for the investment under the equity method. In April 2013, CCE acquired from LOT Polish Airlines an additional 33.3% ownership interest in CPL. As of the date of acquisition, the Company began consolidating its 66.6% ownership of CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports Company (“Polish Airports”) owns the remaining 33.3% of CPL. The Company accounts for and reports the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. See Note 3 for additional information related to CPL. In December 2010, the Company entered into a long-term management agreement to direct the operation of the casino at the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa. The Company receives a management fee consisting of a fixed fee plus a percentage of the casino’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. On November 30, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary CCE signed credit and management agreements with United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. ("UHA") in connection with the development and operation of a Racing Entertainment Center (“REC”) in Balzac, north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which the Company will operate as Century Downs Racetrack and Casino. On November 29, 2013, CCE and UHA amended the management agreement and credit agreements. Under the amended agreements, CCE owns 15% of UHA, controls the UHA board of directors, manages the development of the REC project and has the right to convert CAD 11 million that the Company plans to loan to UHA into an additional 60% ownership interest in UHA. The Company began consolidating UHA as a minority owned subsidiary for which it has a controlling financial interest on November 29, 2013. Unaffiliated shareholders own the remaining 85% of UHA, and the Company accounts for and reports the 85% UHA ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. See Note 3 for additional information related to UHA. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
