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 or operate fourteen casino gaming facilities in the United States located in Black Hawk, Colorado; Pompano Beach, Florida; Bettendorf, Marquette and Waterloo, Iowa; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Lula and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Boonville, Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville and Kansas City, Missouri; and Nemacolin, Pennsylvania.

 

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 management’s 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 24, 2016 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 2017 and 2016 are both 52-week years, which commenced on April 25, 2016 and April 27, 2015, respectively.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All 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.

 

3.  New Accounting Pronouncements

 

As part of the ongoing convergence of GAAP and the International Accounting Standards Board’s current standards on revenue recognition, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides companies with a single model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. To further clarify certain aspects of the revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedient” and ASU No. 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging: Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” in May 2016, ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” in April 2016 and ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” in March 2016. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date”, deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after

 

6



 

December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted only for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest.” This update requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. The standard was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The standard requires application of the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 for all periods presented. This reclassification reduced our total assets and total liabilities as previously reported in our consolidated balance sheet for April 24, 2016 by $10.9 million. This reclassification had no effect on our retained earnings or net income previously reported.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued Update No. 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which further clarifies the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. This update allows for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements to be presented as an asset and subsequent amortization of the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2015, for interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and elected to present debt issuance costs related to our Credit Facility as an asset with subsequent amortization.

 

4.  Subsequent Event

 

On August 22, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our casino and hotel property in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for $134,500, subject to a customary purchase price adjustment, to an affiliate of Laguna Development Corporation, a Pueblo of Laguna-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The transaction is expected to be completed in late fiscal 2017 or early fiscal 2018, subject to Louisiana Gaming Board approval and other customary closing conditions.

 

The disposition of Lake Charles qualifies for discontinued operations treatment under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the operations of Lake Charles will be presented as discontinued for all periods. In addition, the consolidated balance sheets will reflect classification of assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented in future filings.

 

5.  Discontinued Operations

 

On October 19, 2015, we closed our casino property in Natchez, Mississippi and completed the previously announced sale of the hotel and certain related non-gaming assets to Casino Holding Investment Partners, LLC for net cash proceeds of $11,448.  As a result of our decision to separately sell the Natchez gaming vessel and certain other assets, we determined that the carrying value of the assets were greater than their net realizable value and recorded a non-cash pretax charge of $4,400 during the three months ended July 26, 2015. Subsequently, we recorded a net gain of $2,000 in discontinued operations for the year ended April 24, 2016. The net gain consisted of a gain on the sale of the hotel and related non-gaming assets of $6,424, offset by the non-cash pretax charge of $4,424 related to the write-off of the Natchez gaming vessel and certain other assets.

 

The Company incurred $276 for capital expenditures at our Natchez property during the three months ended July 26, 2015.

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

 

Our net revolving line of credit availability at July 24, 2016, as limited by our outstanding borrowings, was approximately $215,000, after consideration of approximately $8,300 in outstanding letters of credit. We have an annual commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.55% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average effective interest rates of the Credit Facility for the three months ended July 24, 2016 was 2.72%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a total leverage ratio, senior secured leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also restricts our ability to make certain investments or distributions. We were in compliance with the covenants as of July 24, 2016.

 

5.875% Senior Notes—In March 2013, we issued $350,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (“5.875% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay term loans under our Credit Facility. On April 14, 2015, we issued an additional $150,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes at a price of 102.0%, which have the same terms and are treated as the same class as the outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes (the “April 2015 issuance”). After deducting the underwriting fees, the net proceeds of $151,500 from the April 2015 issuance were used to purchase a portion of our previously outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to a cash tender

offer for any and all of our outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes (the “Tender Offer”). As a result of these issuances, we capitalized deferred financing costs of $230 in the three months ended July 26, 2015.

 

The 5.875% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness. The 5.875% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option as of March 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes.

 

8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes — In August 2012, we issued $350,000 of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (“8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes”).  The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness. The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes became redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option on June 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

The 5.875% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 12. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.

 

The indentures governing the 5.875% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes limit, 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 indentures also limit our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.

 

Extinguishment of 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”).  On April 13, 2015, we accepted for purchase $237,832 of the outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and we funded the payments utilizing the net proceeds from the 5.875% Senior Notes April 2015 issuance, additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. On April 14, 2015, we issued an irrevocable notice of redemption of the remaining $62,168 of outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 103.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the redemption date in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes.  On May 14, 2015, we completed the redemption for approximately $65,000, utilizing additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. As a result of the completed redemption, we incurred expenses related to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing costs and the discount, redemption fees and other related costs of $2,966, recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended July 26, 2015.

Our basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the additional dilution from all potentially dilutive securities such as stock options and restricted stock units. Stock options with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of our common stock during the periods representing 641,782 and 94,460 shares, which were anti-dilutive, were excluded from the calculation of common shares for diluted earnings per share for the three months ended July 24, 2016 and July 26, 2015, respectively.

 

8.  Stock Based Compensation

 

Under our 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, we have issued restricted stock units, performance stock units, restricted stock and stock options.

 

Restricted Stock Units—During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we granted 145,516 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees with a fair market value of $15.16 per unit on the date of grant. The RSUs are awarded to employees under annual long-term incentive grants which will vest and be converted to stock ratably over three years commencing on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.  Our aggregate estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock units is 11.0%. As of July 24, 2016, our unrecognized compensation cost for these RSUs was $2,148.

 

During fiscal 2013, we granted RSUs containing market performance conditions which determined the number of RSUs awarded. The market condition period ended April 26, 2015 and a gross award of 1,532,417 shares was

 

10



 

achieved. Per the terms of the award agreement, the awards were issued net of shares necessary to pay minimum withholding taxes with 50% of the RSUs vesting on April 26, 2015 and the remainder vesting on April 26, 2016.  The fair value of these RSUs was initially determined utilizing a lattice pricing model which considered a range of assumptions including volatility and risk-free interest rates. On April 26, 2016, 467,073 shares, net of shares to pay minimum withholding taxes, were issued for the vested second RSU tranche.

 

Performance Stock Units—During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) to employees with a company performance condition that will determine the number of shares to ultimately vest, if any, up to 216,699 shares.  Any shares earned will vest at the end of three years from the date of grant.  The probability of meeting the performance condition will be assessed on a regular basis and compensation cost will be adjusted accordingly. Our aggregate estimate of forfeitures for performance stock units for employees is 18.3%. As of July 24, 2016, our unrecognized compensation cost for these PSUs is $3,126, based on current probability assumptions.

 

Restricted Stock—Restricted stock awards are made to employees and directors under annual long-term incentive grants which primarily vest one-third on each anniversary of the grant date. Our aggregate estimate of forfeitures for restricted stock for employees and directors is 9.9% and 0%, respectively. As of July 24, 2016, our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock was $766 with a remaining weighted average vesting period of 0.8 years.

 

Stock Options—During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we issued 310,735 non-qualified stock options, which have a maximum term of seven years and are exercisable in yearly installments of 20% commencing one year after the grant date. The options have a per share grant date fair value of $5.968 utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the range of assumptions disclosed in the following table:

Weighted average volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of our stock price over a range of dates equal to the expected term of the grant’s options. The weighted average expected term is calculated using historical data that is representative of the option for which the fair value is to be determined. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the approximate period of time equivalent to the grant’s expected term.  As of July 24, 2016, our aggregate forfeiture rate is 14.5% and our unrecognized compensation cost for unvested options was $2,298.

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 have a carrying amount that approximates fair value.

Income tax provision from continuing operations

 

$

1,046

 

$

851

 

 

Our income tax provision consists of changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles and expense in states that do not have valuation allowances.

 

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended July 24, 2016 was 9.21%.  Our effective rate is based on statutory rates applied to our pretax book income, adjusted for permanent differences and other items, including fluctuations in valuation allowances.

 

For the three months ended July 26, 2015, our continuing operations resulted in a tax rate of 9.13% of pretax book income.

 

As of July 24, 2016, we had a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets other than those related to the state deferred tax assets at our Florida casino.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Due to the Company’s history of losses, valuation allowances have been established except for future taxable income that will result from the reversal of taxable temporary differences, other than the indefinite lived intangibles.  Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. We continue to monitor the facts and circumstances around this assessment, including our cumulative income position and future projections of sustained profitability for all of our operations with deferred tax assets subject to valuation allowances.

 

Subsequent to July 24, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our Lake Charles property (see Note 4).  We expect that the estimated tax gain on this transaction, if closed, combined with the current year estimated income, should offset the majority of our federal net operating losses and credits, not subject to certain limitations, and all of the related valuation allowance.

 

11.  Supplemental Disclosures

 

Cash Flow — For the three months ended July 24, 2016 and July 26, 2015, we made net cash interest payments of $16,233 and $17,321, respectively. We did not make any income tax payments during the three months ended July 24, 2016 or July 26, 2015.

 

The change in accrued purchases of property and equipment in accounts payable was a decrease of $1,727 and an increase of $2,661, for the three months ended July 24, 2016 and July 26, 2015, respectively.

 

During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we capitalized interest of $232, primarily related to our land-based casino construction at our Bettendorf property, which was completed on June 24, 2016. During the three months ended July 26, 2015, we capitalized interest of $73, primarily related to hotel renovations and land-based casino construction at our Bettendorf property.

13.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

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.

 

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.

ITEM 2.                         MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains statements that we believe are, or may be considered to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report regarding the prospects of our industry or our prospects, plans, financial position or business strategy, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements may be included in various filings that we make with the SEC or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. You are advised, however, to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports to the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this report.

 

For a more complete description of the risks that may affect our business, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 24, 2016.

 

Executive Overview

 

We are a developer, owner and operator of branded gaming facilities and related dining, lodging and entertainment facilities in regional markets in the United States. We have sought and established geographic diversity to limit the risks caused by weather, regional economic difficulties, gaming tax rates and regulations of local gaming authorities. We currently operate casinos in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

 

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 24, 2016 and by giving consideration to the following:

 

Items Impacting Income from Continuing Operations—In May 2015, we redeemed the remaining $62.0 million of our 7.75% Senior Notes and incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million in the three months ended July 26, 2015.

 

Discontinued Operations — On October 19, 2015, we closed our casino property in Natchez, Mississippi and completed the previously announced sale of the hotel and certain related non-gaming assets to Casino Holding Investment Partners, LLC for net cash proceeds of $11.4 million.  As a result of our decision to separately sell the Natchez gaming vessel and certain other assets, we determined that the carrying value of the assets were greater than their net realizable value and recorded a non-cash pretax charge of $4.4 million during the three months ended July 26, 2015. Subsequently, we recorded a net gain of $2.0 million in discontinued operations during fiscal 2016. The net gain consisted of a gain on the sale of the hotel and related non-gaming assets of $6.4

 

19



 

million, offset by the non-cash pretax charge of $4.4 million. The operations of our Natchez property have been classified as discontinued for all periods presented.

 

Items Impacting Future Operations— On August 22, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our casino and hotel property in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for $134.5 million, subject to a customary purchase price adjustment, to an affiliate of Laguna Development Corporation, a Pueblo of Laguna-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The transaction is expected to be completed in late fiscal 2017 or early fiscal 2018, subject to Louisiana Gaming Board approval and other customary closing conditions.

 

The disposition of Lake Charles qualifies for discontinued operations treatment under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the operations of Lake Charles will be presented as discontinued for all periods. In addition, the consolidated balance sheets will reflect classification of assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented in future filings.

Casino Casino revenues decreased $3.8 million, or 1.5%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. Excluding Lake Charles, casino revenues decreased $0.3 million.

 

Casino operating expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 1.7%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in casino operating expenses reflects our continuing efforts to manage our casino operating expenses.

 

Gaming Taxes State and local gaming taxes decreased $1.3 million, or 1.9%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016,  as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, which is a result of changes in our overall gaming revenues and changes in the mix of gaming revenues derived from states with different gaming tax rates. Excluding Lake Charles, gaming taxes decreased $0.4 million.

Rooms Rooms revenue remained flat at $8.1 million during the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other — Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. Excluding Lake Charles, food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other revenues decreased $0.4 million, primarily resulting from the closure of our Kansas City buffet during the quarter for renovations.  The buffet is expected to reopen by the end of our fiscal 2017 second quarter.

 

Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other expense — Food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other expense decreased $1.1 million, or 9.5%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. Excluding Lake Charles, food, beverage, pari-mutuel and other expense decreased $1.0 million, or 8.6%, due in part to the closure of the Kansas City buffet and initiatives to reduce cost of sales.

 

Promotional Allowances Promotional allowances increased $1.4 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, reflecting changes in our marketing programs.

 

Marketing and Administrative   Marketing and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 0.8%, for the three months ended July 24, 2016 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, reflecting changes in our marketing programs as well as savings from cost reduction initiatives.

 

Corporate and Development — Excluding stock compensation expense, our corporate and development expenses decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended July 24, 2016, compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of changes in the long-term incentive plan. Stock compensation expense was flat compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended July 24, 2016 was $20.0 million compared to $20.1 million for the three months ended July 26, 2015.

Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million for the three months ended July 24, 2016, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in our overall debt balance and the benefit of refinancing our 7.75% Senior Notes in May 2015.  We capitalized interest expense of $0.2 million, in the three months ended July 24, 2016, primarily related to our land-based casino construction in Bettendorf.

 

Income Tax Provision Our income tax provision from continuing operations was impacted by changes in the deferred tax liability attributable to indefinite lived intangibles and expense for state jurisdictions where taxable

income is generated. Our tax provision was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended July 24, 2016 and July 26, 2015, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we generated $23.1 million in cash flows from operating activities compared to generating $26.4 million during the three months ended July 26, 2015. The year-over-year decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily the result of the decrease in operating income.

 

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities - During the three months ended July 24, 2016, we used $30.6 million for investing activities compared to using $15.9 million during the three months ended July 26, 2015. Significant investing activities for the three months ended July 24, 2016 included capital expenditures of $30.4 million, of which $20.7 million related to construction of our land based casino in Bettendorf. Significant investing activities for the three months ended July 26, 2015 included capital expenditures of $15.8 million.

 

Cash Flows used in Financing Activities — During the three months ended July 24, 2016, our net cash flows provided by financing activities were primarily from $9.2 million in borrowings under our Credit Facility.

 

Significant transactions during the three months ended July 26, 2015 are as follow:

 

·                  On May 14, 2015, we redeemed the remaining $62.2 million of our 7.75% Senior Notes at a price of 103.875%, including accrued and unpaid interest.

 

·                  Net borrowings under our Credit Facility increased $58.7 million.

 

·                  On May 4, 2015, we paid $9.4 million related to our obligation for certain bonds issued by the City of Bettendorf, Iowa.

 

·                  We received $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

Availability of Cash and Additional Capital - At July 24, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $63.9 million and marketable securities of $19.8 million. As of July 24, 2016, we had $76.7 million in outstanding revolving credit borrowings under our Credit Facility and our net line of credit availability was approximately $215.0 million, as limited by our outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

 

Capital Expenditures and Development Activities— On June 24, 2016, we opened our new land-based casino at our property in Bettendorf. As of July 24, 2016, we have spent $42.3 million on the project, of which $20.7 million was during the three months ended July 24, 2016. We expect the final construction cost to be approximately $60 million. We will continue to fund capital projects with cash generated by our operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility.

 

Historically, as part of our business development activities, 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.

 

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. The timing, completion and amount of additional capital projects will be subject to improvement of economic and local market conditions, cash flows from our 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 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates set forth in our 2016 Annual Report.
