Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

1.  Nature of Operations

 

Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in February 1990. Except where otherwise noted, the words “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as “Company,” refer to Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. We are a developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in markets throughout the United States. Our wholly owned subsidiaries own and operate fourteen casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Black Hawk, Colorado; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula, Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Kansas City, Boonville and Caruthersville, Missouri; Bettendorf, Davenport, Marquette and Waterloo, Iowa; and Pompano Beach, Florida.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we opened our new gaming facility in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on October 30, 2012 and completed the sale of our Biloxi, Mississippi casino on November 29, 2012.

 

2.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In managements’ opinion, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2012 as filed with the SEC and all of our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC after such date and through the date of this report, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or our website at www.islecorp.com.

 

Our fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in April. Periodically, this system necessitates a 53-week year.  Fiscal 2013 is a 52-week year which commenced on April 30, 2012 and fiscal 2012 was a 53-week year, which commenced on April 25, 2011, with the fourth quarter having 14 weeks.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. We view each property as an operating segment and all such operating segments have been aggregated into one reporting segment.

 

We evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Other than the sale of our Biloxi casino operations (See Note 3) and the Credit Facility Amendement (See Note 5), no material subsequent events have occurred that required recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Discontinued Operations

 

During fiscal 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Biloxi, Mississippi casino operations for $45,000 subject to certain working capital adjustments and regulatory approvals.  During the three months ended October 28, 2012, we recorded a $1,500 valuation allowance reflecting a credit against the purchase price to satisfy our obligation to repair the property after Hurricane Isaac, as required by the purchase agreement. The

balance sheet items related to Biloxi have been classified as held for sale and the results of operations are presented as discontinued operations. This transaction was completed on November 29, 2012.

 

The results of our discontinued operations are summarized as follows:

Credit Facility - Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended (“Credit Facility”), consists of a $300,000 revolving line of credit and a $500,000 term loan.  The Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of our assets and guaranteed by all of our significant subsidiaries.

 

Our net line of credit availability at October 28, 2012, as limited by our maximum senior secured leverage covenant, was approximately $199,000, after consideration of $27,000 in outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit. We pay a commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.625% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The weighted average effective interest rate of the Credit Facility for the six months ended October 28, 2012 was 5.11%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a senior secured leverage ratio, a total leverage ratio and

 

9



 

minimum interest coverage ratio.  The Credit Facility also restricts our ability to make certain investments or distributions.  We were in compliance with all covenants as of October 28, 2012.

 

In November 2012, we amended certain provisions of the Credit Facility to; 1) give us more flexibility to incur additional indebtedness, in certain circumstances, 2) increase our flexibility to incur asset sales, 3) modify our maximum allowed leverage covenant and 4) allow for the annualization of EBITDA during the first year of operations on new build projects.

 

7.75% Senior Notes — In March 2011, we issued $300,000 of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 at a price of 99.264% (“7.75% Senior Notes”).  The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay term loans under our Credit Facility.  The 7.75% Senior Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 13.  All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.  The 7.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness.  The 7.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2015, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

 

The indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes limits, among other things, our ability and our restricted subsidiaries ability to borrow money, make restricted payments, use assets as security in other transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends, or repurchase stock. The indenture also limits our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.

 

8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes — On August 7, 2012, we completed the issuance and sale of $350,000 of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “New Subordinated Notes”) in a private offering. We received net proceeds of $343,000 for this issuance after deducting underwriting fees. The New Subordinated Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each our subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facility. These New Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations, rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness and are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after June 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the New Subordinated Notes. As required by the terms of a registration rights agreement related to the New Subordinated Notes, we filed a registration statement for an exchange offer of these New Subordinated Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2012, which was declared effective on October 3, 2012.

 

We repurchased and retired all of our $357,275, 7% Senior Subordinated Notes with proceeds from the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes and cash on hand.

 

Following completion of the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes and the retirement of the 7% Subordinated Notes due 2014, the maturities of our Credit Facility are extended to March 25, 2016 and March 25, 2017 for the revolving line of credit and term loans, respectively, based upon the Credit Facility.

 

As a result of the above transactions, we incurred expenses related to the write-off of deferred financing costs, issuance costs and other related fees of approximately $2,500, including $1,000 in non-cash charges, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

In November 2012, pursuant to the exchange offer declared effective on October 3, 2012, we exchanged all of the unregistered New Subordinated Notes for new New Subordinated Notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Our basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Stock options representing 1,009,160 shares, which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted income per share for both the three and six months ended October 28, 2012.  Due to the loss from continuing operations for the three months ended October 28, 2012, stock options representing 30,236 shares, which are potentially dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for the diluted loss pershare for that period. Due to the loss from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011, stock options representing 22,045 and 38,074 shares, which are potentially dilutive, and 1,169,710 and 1,069,710 shares, which are anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted loss per share for that period.

 

7.  Stock Based Compensation

 

Under our Amended and Restated 2009 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan we have issued restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options.

 

Restricted Stock Units—During the six months ended October 28, 2012, we granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) containing market performance conditions which will determine the ultimate amount of RSUs, if any, to be awarded up to 1,585,713 shares.  Any RSUs earned will vest 50% three years from the grant date and 50% four years from the grant date.  The fair value of these RSUs is determined utilizing a lattice pricing model which

 

11



 

considers a range of assumptions including volatility and risk-free interest rates.  The aggregate compensation cost related to these RSUs is $4,669 to be recognized over the vesting periods. As of October 28, 2012, our unrecognized compensation cost for these RSUs is $4,326.

 

Restricted Stock —During the six months ended October 28, 2012, we issued 330,634 shares of restricted stock with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $6.03 to employees and 176,078 shares of restricted stock with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $6.53 to directors.  Restricted stock awarded to employees under annual long-term incentive grants primarily vests one-third on each anniversary of the grant date and for directors vests one-half on the grant date and one-half on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock for employees is 5%. No forfeiture rate is estimated for directors. As of October 28, 2012, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock is $3,251 with a remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.4 years.

 

Stock Options - We have issued incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options which have a maximum term of 10 years and are, generally, vested and exercisable in yearly installments of 20% commencing one year after the date of grant. We currently estimate our aggregate forfeiture rates at 11%. As of October 28, 2012, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options was $128 with a weighted average vesting period of 0.7 years.

 

8.  Interest Rate Derivatives

 

We have entered into various interest rate derivative agreements in order to manage market risk on variable rate term loans outstanding. We have an interest rate swap agreement with an aggregate notional value of $50,000 with a maturity date in September 2013. As of October 28, 2012, all of our interest rate cap contracts have matured.

 

The fair values of derivatives included in our consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

The interest rate cap agreements met the criteria for hedge accounting for cash flow hedges. As a result, there was no impact on our consolidated statement of operations from changes in fair value of the interest rate cap agreements. The loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for our interest rate cap agreements is recorded net of deferred income tax benefits of an immaterial amount and $8 as of October 28, 2012 and April 29, 2012, respectively. The change in unrealized loss on our derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting was an immaterial amount for the three and six months ended October 28, 2012.  The change in unrealized loss on our derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting was an immaterial amount and $26 for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011, respectively.

 

Our interest rate swaps no longer meet the criteria for hedge effectiveness, and therefore changes in the fair value of the swaps subsequent to the date of ineffectiveness in February 2010, are recorded in derivative income in the consolidated statement of operations. The cumulative loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) through the date of ineffectiveness is being amortized into derivative expense over the remaining term of the individual interest rate swap agreements or when the underlying transaction is no longer expected to occur. As of October 28, 2012, the weighted average fixed LIBOR interest rate of our interest rate swap agreement was 3.995%.

 

The loss recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded net of deferred income tax benefits of $327 and $506, as of October 28, 2012 and April 29, 2012, respectively.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and notes receivable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

Marketable securities are based upon Level 1 inputs obtained from quoted prices available in active markets and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold these marketable securities.

 

The fair value of our long-term debt or other long-term obligations is estimated based on the quoted market price of the underlying debt issue (Level 1) or, when a quoted market price is not available, the discounted cash flow of future payments utilizing current rates available to us for debt of similar remaining maturities (Level 3). Debt obligations with a short remaining maturity are valued at the carrying amount.

11.  Income Taxes

 

Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 28, 2012 were 21.4% and 25.1%, respectively, of pretax income. Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three and six months ended October 23, 2011 were 37.7% and 37.8%, respectively, of pretax income. Our income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations and our effective rate are based on statutory rates applied to our income adjusted for permanent differences and to account for changes in valuation allowances.  Our actual effective rate will fluctuate based upon the amount of our pretax book income, permanent differences and other items, including fluctuations in valuation allowances, used in the calculation of our income tax benefit.

14.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Development Projects—We opened our Isle Casino Cape Girardeau on October 30, 2012 with an estimated cost of $135,000. To date, we have incurred cash-based capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, of approximately $108,980.

 

On August 20, 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Pennsylvania Gaming Conrol Board to award a Category 3 resort gaming license to the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort (“Nemacolin”) in Farmington, Pennsylvania.  We have an agreement with Nemacolin to complete the build-out of the casino space and provide management services of the casino. We currently estimate the project cost to be approximately $57,000 to $60,000 and we expect to open Lady Luck Nemacolin during summer 2013.  To date, we have incurred capital expenditres, including capitalized interest, of approximately $1,400.

Legal and Regulatory Proceedings—We and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverboat Corporation of Mississippi - Vicksburg, are defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Adams County, Mississippi by Silver Land, Inc., alleging breach of contract in connection with our 2006 sale of casino operations in Vicksburg, Mississippi, to a third party. In January 2011, the court ruled in favor of Silver Land and in September 2011 the court awarded damages of $1,979.  We filed a notice of appeal in November 2011. While the outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, we have accrued an estimated liability, including interest, of $2,093. We intend to continue a vigorous and appropriate appeal of this judgment.

 

We have been named as a defendant in a complaint filed in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida. The complaint alleges we sent unsolicited fax advertisements in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005 (the “TCPA”), and seeks to certify a class action.  The complaint seeks statutory damages for alleged negligent and willful violations of the TCPA, attorneys’ fees, costs and injunction relief. The TCPA provides for statutory damages of $0.5 for each violation ($1.5 for willful violations). Discovery is currently underway and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves.  This matter is subject to additional discovery and other legal proceedings and while the ultimate outcome is unknown, we have accrued $1,000 as our current estimate of the most probable outcome of this matter.

 

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Lady Luck Gaming Corporation and several joint venture partners have been defendants in the Greek Civil Courts and the Greek Administrative Courts in similar lawsuits brought by the country of Greece. The actions allege that the defendants failed to make specified payments in connection with the gaming license bid process for Patras, Greece. Although it is difficult to determine the damages being sought from the lawsuits, the action may seek damages up to that aggregate amount plus interest from the date of the action.

 

In the Civil Court lawsuit, the Civil Court of First Instance ruled in our favor and dismissed the lawsuit in 2001. Greece appealed to the Civil Appeal Court and, in 2003, the Court rejected the appeal. Greece then appealed to the Civil Supreme Court and, in 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the matter was not properly before the Civil Courts and should be before the Administrative Court.

 

In the Administrative Court lawsuit, the Administrative Court of First Instance rejected the lawsuit stating that it was not competent to hear the matter. Greece then appealed to the Administrative Appeal Court, which court rejected the appeal in 2003. Greece then appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court, which remanded the matter back to the Administrative Appeal Court for a hearing on the merits. The re-hearing took place in 2006, and in 2008 the Administrative Appeal Court rejected Greece’s appeal on procedural grounds. On December 22, 2008 and January 23, 2009, Greece appealed the ruling to the Supreme Administrative Court. A hearing was held during November 2012.  The Supreme Administrative Court requested both parties file briefs within 90 days.

 

The outcome of this matter is still in doubt and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. We intend to continue a vigorous and appropriate defense to the claims asserted in this matter. Through October 28, 2012, we have accrued an estimated liability including interest of $13,448. Our accrual is based upon management’s estimate of the original claim by the plaintiffs for lost payments.  We continue to accrue interest on the asserted claim.  We are unable to estimate a total possible loss as information as to possible additional claims, if any, have not been asserted or quantified by the plaintiffs at this time.

 

We are subject to certain federal, state and local environmental protection, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to businesses generally, and are subject to cleanup requirements at certain of our facilities as a result thereof. We have not made, and do not anticipate making material expenditures, nor do we anticipate incurring delays with respect to environmental remediation or protection. However, in part because our present and future development sites have, in some cases, been used as manufacturing facilities or other facilities that generate materials that are required to be remediated under environmental laws and regulations, there can be no guarantee that additional pre-existing conditions will not be discovered and we will not experience material liabilities or delays.

 

22



 

We are subject to various contingencies and litigation matters and have a number of unresolved claims. Although the ultimate liability of these contingencies, this litigation and these claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Executive Overview

 

We are a developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related lodging and entertainment facilities in regional markets in the United States. We have intentionally sought geographic diversity to limit the risks caused by weather, regional economic difficulties and local gaming authorities and regulations. We currently operate casinos in Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado and Florida. We also operate a harness racing track at our casino in Florida.

 

Our operating results for the periods presented have been affected, both positively and negatively, by current economic conditions and several other factors discussed in detail below. Our historical operating results may not be indicative of our future results of operations because of these factors and the changing competitive landscape in each of our markets, as well as by factors discussed elsewhere herein. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2012 and by giving consideration to the following:

 

Items Impacting Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations— Significant items impacting our income (loss) from continuing operations during the fiscal quarters ended October 28, 2012, and October 23, 2011 are as follows:

 

Construction Distruption — During fiscal 2013 we have been remodeling our main hotel tower at our Lake Charles property and the casino at our Vicksburg property. As a result, certain areas of these properties may not be accessable to our customers during the construction period resulting in a loss of revenues.

 

Increased Competition — From time to time, new or expanded facilities by our competitors impact our results. For example, competition from a new casino in Kansas opened during February 2012 negatively

 

24



 

impacted our Kansas City casino and expansion by a competitor in February 2012 has negatively impacted our Pompano casino.  Expansions by Arkansas based competitors have negatively impacted our Lula property.

 

Flooding—Due to flooding along the Mississippi River, five of our properties were closed for portions of the six months ended October 23, 2011. A summary of the closure dates and subsequent reopening is as follows:

(B)  The second casino barge reopened on September 2, 2011 after flood damage was remediated.

 

Income Tax Provision(Benefit) — During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 we recorded a valuation allowance reducing our deferred tax assets, as a result of evaluating the expected net realizable value of our deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carry forwards. Our actual effective rate will fluctuate based upon the amount of our pretax book income, permanent differences and other items, including fluctuations in valuation allowances, used in the calculation of our income tax benefit.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Sale of Biloxi —During March 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our subsidiary, which owns and operates our casino and hotel operations in Biloxi for $45 million subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.  During the three months ended October 28, 2012, we recorded a $1.5 million valuation allowance reflecting a credit against the purchase price to satisfy our obligation to repair the property after Hurricane Isaac, as required by the purchase agreement. This transaction was completed on November 29, 2012.

Interest Expense Interest expense remained relatively flat for the three months ended October 28, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This change primarily reflects the write-off of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million, offset by the capitalization of interest associated with the construction of our new Cape Girardeau casino.  Interest expense decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended October 28, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease primarily reflects the capitalization of interest associated with the construction of our new Cape Girardeau casino.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - During the six months ended October 28, 2012, we generated $56.5 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to generating $33.4 million during the six months ended October 23, 2011. The year over year increase in cash flows from operating activities is primarily the result of five of our properties being closed for a portion of fiscal 2012 due to flooding.  Additionally, during the six months ended October 28, 2012, we collected insurance receivables of $7.5 million related to flooding during fiscal 2012.

 

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities - During the six months ended October 28, 2012, we used $95.0 million for investing activities compared to using $34.2 million during the six months ended October 23, 2011. Significant investing activities for the six months ended October 28, 2012 included capital expenditures of $89.5 million, of which $60.2 million related to Cape Girardeau. Significant investing activities for the six months ended October 23, 2011 included capital expenditures of $34.3 million, of which $12.4 million related to Cape Girardeau and Nemacolin.

 

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities — During the six months ended October 28, 2012, our net cash flows provided by financing activities were $19.5 million, including $38.0 million in borrowings under the revolving line of credit, debt repayments of $10.1 million and payments for deferred financing costs of $8.4 million.  During the six months ended October 23, 2011, our net cash flows used in financing activities were used primarily to repay our outstanding long-term debt of $7.8 million.

 

Availability of Cash and Additional Capital - At October 28, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $75.5 million and marketable securities of $24.3 million. As of October 28, 2012, we had $38.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit and $492.5 million in term loans outstanding under the senior secured credit facility. Our line of credit availability at October 28, 2012 was approximately $199 million as limited by our senior secured leverage ratio.

 

On August 7, 2012,  we completed the issuance and sale of $350 million of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 in a private offering. We received net proceeds of $343 million for this issuance after deducting underwriting fees. We repurchased and retired our $357.3 million 7% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 with proceeds from the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes and cash on hand.

 

Following completion of the issuance of our New Subordinated Notes and the retirement of the 7% Subordinated Notes due 2014, the maturities of our Credit Facility are exended to March 25, 2016 and March 25, 2017 for the revolving line of credit and term loans, respectively, based on the terms of the Credit Facility.

In November 2012, we amended certain provisions of the Credit Facility to; 1) give us more flexibility to incur additional indebtedness, in certain circumstances, 2) increase our flexibility to incur asset sales, 3) modify our maximum allowed leverage covenant and 4) allow for the annualization of EBITDA during the first year of operations on new build projects.

 

Capital Expenditures and Development Activities—As part of our business development activities, historically we have entered into agreements which have resulted in the acquisition or development of businesses or assets. These business development efforts and related agreements typically require the expenditure of cash, which may be significant. The amount and timing of our cash expenditures relating to development activities may vary based upon our evaluation of current and future development opportunities, our financial condition and the condition of the financing markets. Our development activities are subject to a variety of factors including but not limited to: obtaining permits, licenses and approvals from appropriate regulatory and other agencies, legislative changes and, in certain circumstances, negotiating acceptable leases.

 

We opened our Isle Casino Cape Girardeau casino development on October 30, 2012.   We have incurred cash-based capital expenditures of $109.0 million, including capitalized interest, through October 28, 2012.  We expect to incur the majority of the remaining capital expenditures related to this project on or before December 31, 2012, with total project costs estimated at $135 million.

 

On August 20, 2012, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to award a Category 3 resort gaming license to the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania. We have a development and management agreement with Nemacolin to build and operate a casino. We currently estimate the cost of the project to be approximately $57 million to  $60 million and expect to open Lady Luck Nemacolin during summery 2013. To date, we have incurred capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, of $1.4 million.

 

Historically, we have made significant investments in property and equipment and expect that our operations will continue to demand ongoing investments to keep our properties competitive. During the six months ended October 28, 2012, we have incurred capital expenditures at our existing properties of $20.3 million.  For the balance of the current fiscal year, we estimate additional capital expenditures at our existing properties to be approximately $80 million to $90 million, including maintenance capital, final costs in Cape Girardeau and construction costs in Nemacolin of approximately $20 million to $30 million. Currently in process are several capital projects primarily focused on refreshing our hotel room inventory as well as additional improvements to our Black Hawk and Lake Charles properties, and rebranding our of Vicksburg property to a Lady Luck. Additionally we expect to make several other improvements to our properties including additional Farmers Pick buffets and other food and beverage outlets as well as ongoing maintenance capital. The timing, completion and amount of additional capital projects will be subject to improvement of economic and local market conditions, cash flows from our continuing operations and borrowing availability under our Credit Facility.

 

Typically, we have funded our daily operations through net cash provided by operating activities and our significant capital expenditures through operating cash flow and debt financing. While we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future, there is no assurance that these sources will in fact provide adequate funding for our planned and necessary expenditures or that the level of our capital investments will be sufficient to allow us to remain competitive in our existing markets.

 

We are highly leveraged and may be unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms if our current sources of liquidity are not sufficient or if we fail to stay in compliance with the covenants of our senior secured credit facility. We will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at each of our existing locations in light of the operating performance of the facilities at such locations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Management identifies critical accounting estimates as:

 

·                  those that require the use of assumptions about matters that are inherently and highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made;

 

·                  those estimates where, had we chosen different estimates or assumptions, the resulting differences would have had a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations; and 

 

·                  those estimates that, if they were to change from period to period, likely would result in a material impact on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

 

For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates set forth in our 2012 Annual Report.

 

ITEM 3.                         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, including interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. senior secured credit facility (“Credit Facility”).

 

We have an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $50.0 million as of October 28, 2012. The swap agreement effectively converts portions of the Credit Facility variable debt to a fixed-rate basis until the swap agreement terminates, which occurs in September 2013.

 

During our fiscal quarter ended October 28, 2012, we issued $350.0 million of 8.875% Subordinated Notes and tendered our $357.3 million 7% Subordinated Notes.  These transactions increased our fixed interest rate on $350 million of our outstanding debt by 1.875%.

 

The maturities of our revolving line of credit and our variable rate term loans under our Credit Facilty have been extended to March 25, 2016 and March 25, 2017, respectively.  Minimum annual principal payments under our variable rate term loans are $5 million.
