Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1— Basis of Presentation and Organization

The consolidated financial statements of OCM HoldCo, LLC (“OCM”), a Delaware limited liability company, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, include the accounts of OCM and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) applicable to interim financial information.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made (consisting of normal recurring adjustments).  Results of operations for the current interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

All of OCM’s issued and outstanding Class A Units are held by OCM VoteCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VoteCo”), and all of OCM’s issued and outstanding non-voting Class B Units are held by OCM InvestCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“InvestCo”).  The rights of the Class A Units and Class B Units are substantially identical with the exception that the Class B Units are not entitled to any management or voting rights with respect to the Company, except as provided by applicable law.  Neither class has dividend or liquidation preferences, atypical participation rights, or preferred, convertible, or redeemable features.  In general, any sale, assignment or transfer of such units is subject to the prior approval of the gaming regulators of Nevada and Pennsylvania.  VoteCo is responsible for the operations of the Company, including the appointment and removal of managers.  VoteCo has a de minimus economic interest in the Company, less than 0.00015%, and its total equity contributions are limited to $100.

Cannery Casino Resorts, LLC (“CCR”) is an unconsolidated investee of OCM.  In connection with the execution and delivery of the Series B Preferred Purchase Agreement and the transactions related thereto, CCR issued, effective as of March 12, 2009, an aggregate of 71,614 Series B Preferred Units of CCR (the “Series B Units”) to Crown CCR Group Investments One, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Crown One”), and Crown CCR Group Investments Two, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Crown Two”), which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Crown Limited, an Australian company (“Crown Parent” and collectively with Crown One and Crown Two, the “Crown Parties”).  In accordance with the terms and provisions of CCR’s Revised Operating Agreement, the Series B Units are convertible on a one-to-one basis (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events) into Series A2 Preferred Units of CCR (the “Series A2 Units”) at the election of the holder upon the attainment of all requisite regulatory approvals under applicable gaming laws.  Both the Series B Units and the Series A2 Units are non-voting securities, except that so long as the aggregate percentage interests of the holders of the Series A2 Units is greater than or equal to 20%, such holders are entitled to appoint a non-voting representative to CCR’s management committee.  On March 8, 2011, Crown One and Crown Two notified CCR of their attainment of all requisite gaming approvals and of their election to convert their Series B Units into Series A2 Units.  Accordingly, the Series B Units held by Crown One and Crown Two were converted to Series A2 Units effective as of such date.  The Company indirectly holds 92,690 Series A1 Preferred Units of CCR (“Series A1 Units” and collectively with the Series A2 Units, the “Series A Units”), which, after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Units, represent a 31.71% interest in the aggregate Series A Units of CCR.

On May 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement for the sale of its 33-1/3% indirect equity interest in NP Land, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“NP Land”) for $8 million in cash.  The equity interest was sold to the owner of the remaining 66-2/3% equity interest in NP Land.  This transaction closed on May 19, 2011.

On January 5, 2006, OCM entered into an Option to Purchase CCR Units of OCM AcquisitionCo, LLC (“Option Agreement”) with its subsidiary OCM Blocker, LLC (Blocker”), to purchase all of Blocker’s outstanding Class A Units and Class B Units (collectively, the “CCR Units”) in OCM AcquisitionCo, LLC (“AcquisitionCo”), along with any other equity interests in AcquisitionCo that Blocker may have owned at the time of exercise.  OCM paid approximately $15.2 million as consideration for the execution and delivery of the Option Agreement.  The Option Agreement expired on January 5, 2012 unexercised.  As a result of the expiration, OCM recognized an expense for the $15.2 million, and Blocker recognized a gain for the same amount as of March 31, 2012.  The transaction eliminated during consolidation.

Table of Contents

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 30, 2012, from which the balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011 was derived.

NOTE 2—Selected condensed consolidated operating information for unconsolidated investees

Selected unaudited condensed consolidated operating information for Cannery Casino Resorts, LLC, and Subsidiaries follows:

On March 8, 2011, Crown One and Crown Two notified CCR of their attainment of all requisite gaming approvals and of their election to convert their Series B Units into Series A2 Units.  Accordingly, the Series B Units held by Crown One and Crown Two were converted to Series A2 Units effective as of such date.  The Company indirectly holds 92,690 Series A1 Units of CCR, which, after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Units, accounted for 31.71% of the aggregate Series A Units of CCR (as compared to 42% prior to such conversion).

On May 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement for the sale of its 33-1/3% indirect equity interest in NP Land for $8 million in cash.  The equity interest was sold to the owner of the remaining 66-2/3% equity interest in NP Land.  The transaction closed on May 19, 2011. At the time of the sale, the Company had an investment of approximately $7.2 million in NP Land and recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $0.8 million.

NOTE 3—Income taxes

OCM is a limited liability company and, accordingly, is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes with the tax effect of its activities recognized in the income tax returns of its members.

OCM owns over 99.99% of the equity interest in Blocker, which has elected to be taxed as a corporation and which, in turn, owns 100% of AcquisitionCo and OCM LandCo, LLC.  The Blocker subsidiaries own the investment in CCR, a Nevada limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, equity in the earnings of CCR are generally taxable to Blocker along with other tax attributes (permanent differences) and business tax credits. The principal exception to this generalization is earnings from the corporate, taxpaying subsidiaries of CCR that own and operate The Meadows, a racetrack and casino in Pennsylvania.

Management believes it is likely that the undistributed earnings from these tax-paying subsidiaries of CCR will eventually be realized at a gain through the disposition of the Company’s investment in CCR.  Blocker incurs interest expense on intercompany indebtedness that is deducted for income tax purposes but is eliminated (a permanent difference), along with the related debt, in this consolidation.  OCM also incurs certain other costs, primarily associated with being a reporting company, including professional and other fees, which, for tax reporting purposes, flow through to its members.  Because of these circumstances, the Company’s estimated effective tax rate, for the periods presented, differs significantly from the federal statutory rate of 35%.

Management also believes that a valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets is not necessary because of the Company’s general business plan of eventually, following the likely economic recovery (Note 5), selling its appreciated investment in unconsolidated investees before its net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2021 and, thus, realizing the related deferred tax assets.

Management has made an analysis of its state and federal tax returns that remain subject to examination by major authorities (consisting of tax years 2008 through 2010) and concluded that the Company has no recordable liability as a result of certain uncertain tax positions taken.  The Company is generally subject to audit for tax years 2008 and forward.

Table of Contents

On June 23, 2011, the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) proposed adjustments for certain deductions on certain CCR subsidiary corporate income tax returns for tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009.  The deductions primarily relate to a loss attributable to the dismantling of the temporary casino facility.  The IRS has taken a position that this loss deduction should be disallowed.  However, CCR management intends to vigorously defend its position and maintains that the position taken was proper and supported by applicable laws and regulations and, therefore, has recorded no liability for uncertain tax positions taken.  The net effect of an adjustment, should the IRS prevail, would be a reduction of the net operating loss carry forward for the CCR subsidiary in future years.

NOTE 4—Related party loans

On July 15, 2010, the Company borrowed $750,000 from certain affiliates of the Company in order to cover existing and future expenses of the Company anticipated to arise during the next two years. Interest will be accrued at the prime rate plus 2% on the outstanding principal amount, and unpaid interest will be compounded monthly.  The notes evidencing this loan are due and payable on demand.  The Company has accrued interest of $70,476 and $59,859 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 5—Contingencies

The United States recently experienced a recession accompanied by, among other things, weakness in the commercial and investment banking systems resulting in reduced credit and capital financing availability, and highly curtailed gaming, other recreational, construction and real estate market activities and general discretionary consumer spending. Although capital market activity and liquidity have improved of late, the recovery from this recession period is fragile and there can be no assurance that our business, which has been severely affected by the downturn, will fully recover to pre-recession levels.

The Company often carries cash on deposit with financial institutions substantially in excess of federally-insured limits, and the risk of losses related to such concentrations has been increasing as a result of recent economic developments and uncertainties discussed in the foregoing paragraph.  The extent of any loss that might be incurred as a result of uninsured deposits in the event of a future failure of a bank or other financial institutions, if any, is not subject to estimation at this time.

NOTE 6—Financial Instruments

Except for cash, the fair value of which equals its carrying value, the only significant financial instrument the Company has is its investment in an unconsolidated investee accounted for on the equity method for which fair value disclosure is not required.

Item 2.           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following management discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

The Company’s activities consist solely of holding substantial, noncontrolling equity interests in gaming enterprises and related assets.

Background

Overview

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were formed on July 22, 2005, at the direction of affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Oaktree”), for the purpose of participating in various activities relating to the gaming industry.

All of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A Units are held by OCM VoteCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“VoteCo”), and all of the Company’s issued and outstanding non-voting Class B Units are held by OCM InvestCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“InvestCo”).  VoteCo and InvestCo are affiliates of Oaktree.  VoteCo is responsible for the operations of the Company, including the appointment and removal of managers.  VoteCo has a de minimus economic interest in the Company, less than 0.00015%, and its total equity contributions are limited to $100.

In 2006, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, OCM AcquisitionCo, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“AcquisitionCo”), acquired a 42% equity interest in Cannery Casino Resorts, LLC (“CCR”), and a 33-1/3% equity interest in NP Land, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“NP Land”).  The Company subsequently sold its 33-1/3% equity interest in NP Land in a transaction that closed on May 19, 2011 (see Recent Developments below).  On March 8, 2011, the equity interest in CCR was reduced to 31.71% upon the conversion of CCR Series B Units held by the Crown Parties (see Recent Developments below).  The Company’s current business consists primarily of its ownership of these equity interests.  CCR, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns and operates the Cannery Hotel and Casino (“The Cannery”), located in North Las Vegas, Nevada, the Eastside Cannery Casino and Hotel (the “Eastside Cannery”), located in Las Vegas, Nevada, and operated the Rampart Casino (the “Rampart”), located in the Summerlin area of northwest Las Vegas.  CCR, through a subsidiary, operated the Rampart under a 10-year sublease agreement with Hotspur Casinos Nevada, Inc. (“Hotspur”), which owns the hotel and resort facilities in which the casino is housed.  This sublease expired on March 31, 2012.  Hotspur took over management of the casino on April 1, 2012.  In addition, CCR, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, PA Meadows, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PA Meadows”), owns and operates a racetrack and a casino at The Meadows, an operating harness racetrack located in North Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

On May 18, 2007, CCR consummated an $860 million refinancing consisting of a $110 million five-year first lien revolving credit facility, a $350 million six-year first lien term loan, a $285 million six-year delay draw first lien term loan, and a $115 million seven-year second lien term loan (collectively, the “Credit Agreements”).  Portions of the proceeds were used to retire then-existing debt, and to partially fund the completion of the Eastside Cannery and the permanent casino facility at The Meadows.  The Eastside Cannery (which replaced a former casino) opened on August 28, 2008, and the 350,000 square-foot permanent casino at The Meadows opened on April 15, 2009.

The primary asset of NP Land is approximately 22 acres of land (the current site of the Eastside Cannery), which land is currently leased to a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCR.

On December 11, 2007, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the “Original Purchase Agreement”) by and among (i) Crown Limited, an Australian company (“Crown”), (ii) Crown CCR Group Investments One, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Crown (“Crown One”), and Crown CCR Group Investments Two, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Crown (“Crown Two” and collectively with Crown and Crown One, the “Crown Parties”), (iii) Millennium Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Millennium,” and together with the Company, the “Original Equityholders”), (iv) the Company, and (v) CCR (collectively, CCR with Millennium and the Company, the “Seller Parties”), pursuant to which Crown One and Crown Two (collectively, the “Purchasers”) were to purchase, directly or indirectly, all of the membership units of CCR from the Original Equityholders.

On March 12, 2009, the Seller Parties and the Crown Parties entered into a Termination and Settlement Agreement (the “Termination and Settlement Agreement”), whereby the parties agreed to (a) terminate the Original Purchase Agreement, and (b) settle and release claims among the parties to the Original Purchase Agreement relating to the Original Purchase Agreement, and in connection therewith, Crown One and Crown Two, collectively, paid the Original Equityholders a cash payment of $50 million, of which the Company received $21 million.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Termination and Settlement Agreement and in accordance with the terms thereof, the Crown Parties, the Original Equityholders and CCR entered into a Preferred Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Purchase Agreement”).  On April 24, 2009, CCR sold to the Purchasers 71,614 Series B Preferred Units of CCR (the “Series B Units”) for an aggregate purchase price of $320 million in cash (the “Preferred Purchase Price”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Preferred Purchase Agreement.  Of the Preferred Purchase Price, $20 million represents reimbursement of certain project costs incurred by CCR related to various project costs at The Meadows.  The Series B Units have no coupon and are not subject to mandatory redemption.  The “Option Agreement,” as described below, was not affected.  See Recent Developments below.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Termination and Settlement Agreement and in accordance with the terms thereof, the Crown Parties, the Original Equityholders and CCR entered into an Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”), which grants the Crown Parties, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Agreement, the option to complete the purchase of all of the direct and indirect interests of the Original Equityholders in CCR on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Original Purchase Agreement.  The exercise period under the Option Agreement expired in accordance with its terms in March 2011.

In May 2009, CCR distributed $26.21 million of the Preferred Purchase Price to the Company, and concurrent with such distribution, the Company, through AcquisitionCo, made a $5.21 million equity investment in CCR for the purpose of maintaining CCR’s compliance with its debt covenants.  The additional equity contribution by AcquisitionCo was funded by an equity contribution from OCM Blocker, LLC, which in turn was funded by a loan from the Company.

Table of Contents

On March 3, 2010, CCR sold: (i) 18,375 Series C Preferred Units to Crown One and Crown Two, collectively; (ii) 10,000 Series C Preferred Units to Millennium; and (iii) 46,625 Series C Preferred Units to AcquisitionCo.  The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series C Preferred Units are set forth in the Revised Operating Agreement.

On March 3, 2010, CCR entered into Amendment No. 1 to the First Lien Credit Agreement, by and among CCR, Washington Trotting Association, Inc. (a subsidiary of CCR), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “First Lien Amendment”).  Pursuant to the First Lien Amendment, among other matters, (i) the interest rate margins applicable to term loans and revolving loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement have been fixed at 4.25% for Eurodollar rate loans and 3.25% for base rate loans, in lieu of a range dependent upon the borrowers’ consolidated leverage ratio; (ii) the maximum amount of revolving loans has been permanently reduced from $110 million to $70 million; (iii) the consolidated leverage ratio that the borrowers are required to maintain as of each quarter end date through the remaining term of the First Lien Credit Agreement has been adjusted; and (iv) the borrowers will be permitted to transfer a portion of Pennsylvania real property where The Meadows Racetrack and Casino is located, which is mortgaged under the First Lien Credit Agreement, for construction of a hotel.  In addition to these matters, other covenants and provisions of the First Lien Credit Agreement that are affected by the First Lien Amendment include covenants requiring maintenance of minimum consolidated EBITDA, compliance with cash management procedures and application of the proceeds of certain transactions, including the issuance of securities, to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The First Lien Credit Agreement was further amended by the First Lien Amendment No. 2 on February 7, 2012. Among other matters, the First Lien Amendment No. 2 extended the maturity date for revolving loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement from May 18, 2012 to February 18, 2013.

On March 8, 2011, Crown One and Crown Two notified CCR of their attainment of all requisite gaming approvals and of their election to convert their Series B Units into Series A2 Units.  Accordingly, the Series B Units held by Crown One and Crown Two were converted to Series A2 Units effective as of such date.  The Company indirectly holds 92,690 Series A1 Units of CCR (“Series A1 Units” and collectively with the Series A2 Units, the “Series A Units”), which, after giving effect to the conversion of the Series B Units, represent a 31.71% interest in the aggregate Series A Units of CCR.

On May 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement for the sale of its 33-1/3% equity interest in NP Land for $8 million in cash.  The equity interest was sold to the owner of the remaining 66-2/3% equity interest in NP Land.  The transaction closed on May 19, 2011.

Recent Developments

On January 5, 2006, OCM entered into an Option to Purchase CCR Units of OCM AcquisitionCo, LLC (“Option Agreement”) with its subsidiary OCM Blocker, LLC (Blocker”), to purchase all of Blocker’s outstanding Class A Units and Class B Units (collectively, the “CCR Units”) in OCM AcquisitionCo, LLC (“AcquisitionCo”), along with any other equity interests in AcquisitionCo that Blocker may have owned at the time of exercise.  OCM paid approximately $15.2 million as consideration for the execution and delivery of the Option Agreement.  The Option Agreement expired on January 5, 2012 unexercised.  As a result of the expiration, OCM recognized an expense for the $15.2 million, and Blocker recognized a gain for the same amount as of March 31, 2012.  The transaction eliminated during consolidation.

Operations Analysis

Results of Operations

Material variables and factors affecting the Company’s income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, are as follows:

·                  CCR’s net revenue increased approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period for the prior year, due to the operational highlights for CCR discussed below.  This increase resulted in a $0.6 million decrease in equity in loss of unconsolidated investees.

Material tax attributes of the Company’s unconsolidated investees, primarily CCR, flow to the Company through OCM Blocker, LLC, an entity in which the Company owns 99.99% of the equity interest, are either nonrecurring or vary significantly.  Further, significant income of CCR is taxable to corporate subsidiaries of CCR.  Management believes that the undistributed earnings from CCR’s tax-paying subsidiaries will be realized at a gain through an eventual sale of the Company’s investment in CCR.  (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details.)

Table of Contents

During 2012, the Company’s operations are related to its investment in CCR.  During 2011, the Company’s operations are primarily related to its investments in CCR and, to a much lesser extent, NP Land, which was sold on May 19, 2011.  The United States recently experienced a recession accompanied by, among other things, weakness in the commercial and investment banking systems resulting in reduced credit and capital financing availability, and highly curtailed gaming, other recreational, construction and real estate market activities and general discretionary consumer spending. Although capital market activity and liquidity have improved of late, the recovery from this recession period is fragile and there can be no assurance that our business, which has been severely affected by the downturn, will fully recover to pre-recession levels.

Operational highlights for CCR for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

·                  Revenues (net) increased 2.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due primarily to increased slot and pari-mutuel revenues at The Meadows. The gains in net revenues at The Meadows are attributed to the mild winter in the Northeast region. Additionally, other income from consulting fees received contributed approximately $1.5 million in revenue for three months ended March 31, 2012.  On April 1, 2011 CCR entered into a consulting agreement with the Jackson Rancheria of Mewuk Indians of California. Pursuant to the agreement, CCR receives a monthly consulting fee and an annual incentive fee that is calculated on a percentage of incremental increase of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (as defined in the agreement). Collectively, revenues (net) for Nevada operations remained relatively unchanged as compared to the same period last year.

·                  Income from operations increased 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due primarily to increased net revenues (as previously discussed). The gains in net revenues were partially offset by a onetime charge of $1.6 million and increased depreciation expense at the Rampart Casino. The onetime charge is related to certain assets and liabilities of Rampart Casino that were assumed by Rampart’s landlord due to the termination of the casino operating lease on March 31, 2012. The increase in depreciation expense was due to certain property and equipment becoming fully depreciated upon termination of the casino operating lease.

·                  Net loss increased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due primarily to increase income tax expense as compared to the same period last year.

On June 23, 2011, the IRS proposed adjustments for certain deductions on certain CCR subsidiary corporate income tax returns for tax years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009.  The deductions primarily relate to a loss attributable to the dismantling of the temporary casino facility.  The IRS has taken a position that this loss deduction should be disallowed.  However, CCR management intends to vigorously defend its position and maintains that the position taken was proper and supported by applicable laws and regulations and, therefore, has recorded no liability for uncertain tax positions taken.  The net effect of an adjustment, should the IRS prevail, would be a reduction of the net operating loss carry forward for the CCR subsidiary in future years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The United States recently experienced a recession accompanied by, among other things, weakness in the commercial and investment banking systems resulting in reduced credit and capital financing availability, and highly curtailed gaming, other recreational, construction and real estate market activities and general discretionary consumer spending. Although capital market activity and liquidity have improved of late, the recovery from this recession period is fragile and, consequently, the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, cannot be estimated at this time but may likely be significant.

As disclosed above, the Company, from time to time, has made equity contributions to CCR in connection with CCR maintaining compliance with its debt covenants, including approximately $10.8 million in 2009, and approximately $46.6 million in 2010, in connection with AcquisitionCo’s purchase of the Series C Units.  The Company has no current investment or other financing plans, and the Company’s recurring prospective need for liquidity and capital resources is principally associated with being a reporting company.  On July 15, 2010, the Company borrowed $750,000 from certain affiliates of the Company in order to cover existing and future expenses of the Company anticipated to arise during the next two years. Interest will be accrued at the prime rate plus 2% on the outstanding principal amount, and unpaid interest will be compounded monthly.  The notes evidencing this loan are due and payable on demand.  To the extent the Company needs additional liquidity and capital resources to satisfy those needs, the Company’s members are the expected source of funding.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on its results of operations in recent years.  However, there is no assurance that inflation will not adversely affect its business in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Credit Agreements

On May 18, 2007, CCR entered into two new syndicated credit facilities totaling $860 million: a $745 million first lien facility and a $115 million second lien term loan facility (collectively, the “Credit Agreements”) (see Overview above).  Portions of the proceeds were used to retire the then existing debt, including $250 million credit facility, and to partially fund the completion of the Eastside Cannery and the permanent casino facility at The Meadows.

On March 3, 2010, CCR entered into the First Lien Amendment No. 1 which changed certain covenants and provisions of the Credit Agreement as previously described. The Credit Agreements were further amended by the First Lien Amendment No. 2 on February 7, 2012.

Although the Company’s consolidated financial statements necessarily make use of certain accounting estimates by management, at this time, we believe no matters are the subject of such estimates that are so highly uncertain or susceptible to change as to present a significant risk of a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations as more fully explained in the following paragraph. Moreover, except as discussed below, the Company does not employ any critical accounting policies that are selected from among available alternatives or require the exercise of significant management judgment to apply except for carrying its investments in unconsolidated investees on the equity method of accounting rather than the fair value option. Similarly, except for the selection of depreciable lives and depreciation methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of hedge agreements and investments, consisting of preferred auction rate securities, the accounting policies of the Company’s unconsolidated investees also do not require the exercise of significant management judgment to apply.

The realization of substantially all of the Company’s assets is dependent upon an eventual sale of its investment in the unconsolidated investees following a likely economic recovery at a price sufficient to realize the carrying value of the Company’s assets.  Further, based in part on prior transactions with the Crown Parties, management believes, despite the current economic conditions, that the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated investees exceeds the carrying value of its investment and all other assets by a substantial amount such that any risk of not realizing the carrying values and having a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation is remote.  Additionally, it is management’s opinion that the eventual sale of the Company’s appreciated investment in unconsolidated investees makes realization of its deferred tax assets more likely than not.
