The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lakes Entertainment, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and subsidiaries (individually and collectively “Lakes” or the “Company”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed and/or omitted. For further information, please refer to the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the related notes included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 30, 2012, previously filed with the SEC, from which the balance sheet information as of that date is derived. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting of normal recurring adjustments). The results for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. | |
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Investments in unconsolidated investees, which are 20% or less owned and the Company does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating or financial decisions of the entity, are accounted for under the cost method.

2. New Accounting Standard | |
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “(ASU”) No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (“NOL”) or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This ASU requires entities to assess whether to net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset as of the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2014. Lakes does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. |

3. Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe | |
On July 17, 2013, Lakes entered into a Debt Termination Agreement (the “Debt Termination Agreement”) with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (the “Shingle Springs Tribe”) relating to amounts Lakes had previously advanced to the Shingle Springs Tribe under the development and management agreement for the Red Hawk Casino between Lakes and the Shingle Springs Tribe (the “Shingle Springs Notes”). The Debt Termination Agreement required certain conditions to be met, including a lump sum payment by the Shingle Springs Tribe to Lakes of $57.1 million (the “Debt Payment”). The Debt Payment was made on August 29, 2013 (the “Payment Date”) and constituted full and final payment of all debt owed to Lakes as of that date. As a result of the receipt of the Debt Payment, during the third quarter of 2013, Lakes recognized approximately $17.4 million in recovery of impairment on notes receivable because the Shingle Springs Notes had previously been impaired and were valued at $39.7 million (see note 7, Long-Term Assets Related to Indian Casino Projects – Notes and Interest Receivable). The face value of the Shingle Springs Notes including accrued interest was $69.7 million as of the Payment Date. The management agreement under which Lakes was managing the Red Hawk Casino also terminated on the Payment Date. | |
During the third quarter of 2013, Lakes also recognized a gain of $3.8 million on extinguishment of liabilities associated with contract acquisition costs related to the project with the Shingle Springs Tribe that were no longer owed upon the termination of the management agreement between Lakes and the Shingle Springs Tribe (see note 13, Contract Acquisition Costs Payable). | |
As of the Payment Date, $2.4 million of intangible assets related to the development and management agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe were considered fully impaired and were written down to zero resulting in Lakes recognizing an impairment charge of $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2013. See note 8, Intangible and Other Assets Related to Indian Casino Projects. |

4. Rocky Gap | |||||||||||||||||
In April 2012, a video lottery operation license (“License”) for the Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort (“Rocky Gap”) was awarded to the Company by the State of Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission. In August 2012, Lakes acquired the assets of Rocky Gap for $6.8 million and simultaneously entered into an operating lease for the underlying land (see note 19, Commitments and Contingencies). The AAA Four Diamond Award® winning resort included a hotel, convention center, spa, two restaurants and the only Jack Nicklaus signature golf course in Maryland. | |||||||||||||||||
After acquiring Rocky Gap, the Company converted the existing convention center space into a gaming facility and renamed the property Rocky Gap Casino Resort. The gaming facility opened to the public on May 22, 2013 and features 558 video lottery terminals (“VLTs”), 10 table games, three poker tables, a casino bar and a new lobby food and beverage outlet. A new event and conference center is being constructed which will be able to accommodate large groups and will feature multiple flexible use meeting rooms and is expected to be available for use in mid-November of 2013. The total initial cost of the Rocky Gap project is currently expected to be approximately $35.0 million, which includes the initial acquisition cost. | |||||||||||||||||
The operating results of Rocky Gap are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the non-Indian casino projects segment from the date of acquisition. Amortization of the License began on the date the gaming facility opened for public play and is being amortized over its 15 year term. | |||||||||||||||||

Short-term investments consist of commercial paper and corporate bonds which are classified as available-for-sale securities and are carried at current fair market value, with the resulting unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. If the carrying value of an investment is in excess of its fair market value, an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value to the fair market value is recorded if the impairment is considered other-than-temporary. There were no other-than-temporary impairments related to declines in fair market value of short-term investments during the three or nine months ended September 29, 2013. All short-term investments held as of September 29, 2013 have original maturity dates of twelve months or less and are classified as current assets.

7. Long-Term Assets Related to Indian Casino Projects — Notes and Interest Receivable | |||||
Notes and interest receivable included in long-term assets related to Indian casino projects as of December 30, 2012 consisted of notes and interest receivable due from the Shingle Springs Tribe pursuant to the Company’s development and management agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe for the Red Hawk Casino. Under the terms of the development and management agreement, Lakes made advances to the Shingle Springs Tribe of $74.4 million including interest accrued through the opening date of the Red Hawk Casino on December 17, 2008 and had an agreement to manage the property through December 17, 2015. | |||||
The notes and related interest receivable were considered paid in full on August 29, 2013, when the Shingle Springs Tribe paid Lakes $57.1 million pursuant to the Debt Termination Agreement. See note 3, Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe. As a result of the receipt of the Debt Payment, during the third quarter of 2013, Lakes recognized approximately $17.4 million in recovery of impairment on notes receivable because the Shingle Springs Notes had previously been impaired and were valued at $39.7 million. The face value of the Shingle Springs Notes including accrued interest was $69.7 million as of the Payment Date. The management agreement under which Lakes was managing the Red Hawk Casino also terminated on the Payment Date. | |||||
Until the Payment Date, the Company performed an impairment analysis on the notes receivable at least quarterly. At January 2, 2011, Lakes evaluated the notes receivable from the Shingle Springs Tribe for impairment and concluded that it was probable that substantial amounts due would not be repaid within the contract term and therefore determined that the notes receivable were impaired. Lakes evaluated the notes receivable from the Shingle Springs Tribe for impairment as of December 30, 2012 and concluded that the notes receivable continued to be impaired. | |||||
As part of the impairment analysis, the Company estimated the timing and amount of future repayments on the notes receivable by analyzing actual payments received on the notes receivable compared to scheduled payments required under the contractual terms of the notes receivable. The Company also considered forecasts for future periods which were based on a variety of factors including actual historical performance, changes in competition in the market the property serves, changes in the economic environment in the market the property serves, any regulatory changes, marketing initiatives and property offerings. Estimates of timing and amount of future repayments were then compared to payments required per the contractual terms of the notes receivable to estimate the remaining amounts due on the notes receivable at the end of the contract term with the Shingle Springs Tribe. Prior to entering into the Debt Termination Agreement, the contractual terms of the notes receivable required that all amounts due on the notes receivable were to be repaid during the contract term. Due to improvements in certain of the factors considered in the impairment analysis, including operational results, the estimated amounts due at the end of the contract term decreased as of December 30, 2012 compared to the estimated amounts due at the end of the contract term as of January 2, 2011. Although the estimated amounts due at the end of the contract term decreased, the estimated amounts due remained significant and as a result, the Company determined that a significant change that would cause the impairment on the notes receivable to be remeasured had not occurred as of December 30, 2012. | |||||
Information with respect to the notes and interest receivable as of December 30, 2012 is summarized in the following table (in thousands). There were no notes and interest receivable related to Indian casino projects as of September 29, 2013. | |||||

Intangible Assets | |||||
Intangible assets related to Indian casino projects consisted of costs associated with the acquisition of the development and management agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe for the Red Hawk Casino which were being amortized through the end of the management contract. In accordance with the Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe as discussed in note 3,Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe, the management agreement under which Lakes was managing the Red Hawk Casino terminated as of August 29, 2013. Therefore, Lakes will earn no fees from the management of the Red Hawk Casino subsequent to August 29, 2013. As a result, as of the Payment Date, the intangible assets related to the Shingle Springs Tribe were considered fully impaired and were written down to zero. | |||||

9. Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC | |
Lakes has a 10% ownership investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC (“Rock Ohio Ventures”), a privately-held company, that owns 80% of the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland in Cleveland, Ohio which opened to the public in May 2012, the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio which opened in March 2013, and the Thistledown Racino in North Randall, Ohio which added VLTs to its existing racetrack in April 2013. This investment is accounted for using the cost method since Lakes owns less than 20% of Rock Ohio Ventures and does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial decisions of the entity. At September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, Lakes had invested a total of $21.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively, in Rock Ohio Ventures, which is included in investment in unconsolidated investee in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |
The Company's cost method investment is evaluated, on at least a quarterly basis, for potential other-than-temporary impairment, or when an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Lakes monitors this investment for impairment by considering all information available to the Company including the economic environment of the markets served by the properties Rock Ohio Ventures owns; market conditions including existing and potential future competition; recent or expected changes in the regulatory environment; operational performance and financial results; known changes in the objectives of Rock Ohio Venture’s management; known or expected changes in ownership of Rock Ohio Ventures; and any other known significant factors relating to the business underlying the investment. | |
As part of the review of operational performance and financial results for considering if there are indications of impairment, the Company utilizes financial statements of Rock Ohio Ventures and its owned gaming properties to assess the investee’s ability to operate from a financial standpoint. The Company also analyzes Rock Ohio Ventures’ cash flows and working capital to determine if the Company’s investment in this entity has experienced an other-than-temporary impairment. As part of this process, the Company analyzes actual historical results compared to forecast and has periodic discussions with management of Rock Ohio Ventures to obtain additional information related to the Company’s investment in Rock Ohio Ventures to determine whether any events have occurred that would necessitate further analysis of the Company’s recorded investment in Rock Ohio Ventures for impairment. Based on these procedures, no events or changes in circumstances were identified that would require further analysis as to whether the Company’s investment in Rock Ohio has experienced an other-than-temporary impairment as of September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012. | |
The fair value of this cost method investment is considered impracticable to estimate. The impracticability in developing such an estimate is due primarily to insufficient information necessary to prepare a valuation model to determine fair value. | |
Lakes has the right, but not the obligation, to make additional investments up to 10% of equity required by Rock Ohio Ventures to develop the gaming properties in Ohio in return for a corresponding equity interest in those casinos (see note 19, Commitments and Contingencies). | |

10. Investment in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC | |
On May 22, 2013, Dania Entertainment Center, LLC (“DEC”) purchased the Dania Jai Alai property located in Dania Beach, Florida, from Boyd Gaming Corporation, for $65.5 million. | |
As part of a previous plan to purchase the property, during 2011 Lakes loaned $4.0 million to DEC (the “Loan”) which was written down to zero during the third quarter of 2011 when the acquisition did not close. During 2013, the Loan was exchanged for a 20% ownership interest in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC (“DEH”). DEH maintains a 25% ownership interest in DEC resulting in Lakes effectively holding a 5% ownership in DEC, which now owns and operates the Dania Jai Alai property. Lakes will have no operational responsibility of DEC or DEH and will not be required to invest any additional money in either entity. | |
The Company accounts for its investment in DEH as a cost method investment. At the time the Loan was exchanged for an equity investment in DEH, Lakes determined its value remained at zero due to the negative cash flows of the existing operations of the Dania Jai Alai property as well as uncertainty surrounding completion of the project. Therefore, no value associated with this investment is recorded in the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 29, 2013. Should Lakes receive any distributions in the form of dividends from its investment in DEH, the distributions will be recorded as income in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings as of the date of distribution. | |
The fair value of this investment was considered impracticable to estimate without incurring excessive costs relative to the materiality of the investment. |

11. Land | |
Lakes owns parcels of undeveloped land related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Jamul Indian Village (the “Jamul Tribe”) near San Diego, California. During the third quarter of 2012, Lakes entered into a ten-year option agreement with Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn National”) that grants Penn National the right to purchase this land. The purchase price for the land is $7.0 million and increases annually by 1%. Pursuant to the agreement, annual option payments of less than $0.1 million are required to be made by Penn National to Lakes. | |
Lakes also owns undeveloped land in Oklahoma related to its previous involvement in a potential casino project with the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma. | |
As of September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, these parcels of land are carried at a total of $1.1 million on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company performs an impairment analysis on the land it owns at least quarterly and determined that no impairment had occurred as of September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012. |

Lakes has a two-year interest-only $8.0 million revolving line of credit loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Centennial Bank that expires in October 2014. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by primarily all of Lakes’ interest in the real property it owns in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement, if any, bear interest at 8.95%. Lakes’ Chief Executive Officer, Lyle Berman, personally guaranteed the Loan Agreement on behalf of Lakes. As of September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the Loan Agreement. | |
In December 2012, Lakes closed on a $17.5 million financing facility with Centennial Bank (the “Facility”). The Facility is being used to finance a portion of the renovation and new event and conference center construction costs of Rocky Gap. Lakes was required to invest $17.5 million in the Rocky Gap project prior to drawing on the Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Facility bear interest at 10.5%. The Facility is collateralized by the leasehold estate and the furniture, fixtures and equipment of Rocky Gap. In addition, Lakes guaranteed repayment of the loan and granted a second mortgage on its real property located in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Repayment of the loan will be interest-only for the first year, with payments of principal and interest amortized and paid over the subsequent seven years. As of September 29, 2013, $13.4 million had been drawn and was outstanding under the Facility. As of December 30, 2012, no amounts were outstanding under the Facility. | |
Effective November 1, 2013, Lakes amended the Facility with Centennial Bank to reduce the interest rate from 10.5% to 5.5%. Monthly payments of principal and interest will begin on December 1, 2013 and continue for 84 months. Although Lakes does not currently plan to make further draws on the Facility, Lakes has the ability to draw the remaining $4.1 million on the Facility through December 31, 2018. Lakes is currently evaluating the impact that the amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

During 2009, the Company became obligated to pay Mr. Jerry Argovitz and Mr. Kevin M. Kean each $1 million per year (prorated based on a 365 day year) during the remainder of the seven-year initial term of the Red Hawk Casino management agreement, as long as Lakes is the manager of the Red Hawk Casino. The management agreement commenced in December 2008. These obligations resulted from Mr. Argovitz’s and Mr. Kean’s elections under existing agreements with Lakes to relinquish their respective other rights related to the Red Hawk Casino project. As of December 30, 2012, the remaining carrying amount of the liability was $4.6 million, net of a $1.4 million discount. As a result of the August 2013 termination of the management agreement between Lakes and the Shingle Springs Tribe for the management of the Red Hawk Casino, Lakes is no longer obligated to make payments under the existing agreements between Lakes and Mr. Kean and Mr. Argovitz, respectively. As a result, Lakes recognized a gain of $3.8 million on extinguishment of these liabilities during the three months ended September 29, 2103. |

For all periods, basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Lakes Entertainment, Inc. by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS in profitable periods reflects the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding by dividing net earnings attributable to Lakes Entertainment, Inc. by the weighted-average of all common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive stock options of 1,467,885 and 1,614,994 for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013, respectively, and 1,528,039 and 1,527,661 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, were not used to compute diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. |

17. Income Taxes | |
There was no income tax provision for the first nine months of 2013 because the Company released valuation allowance against deferred tax assets available to offset current income. The income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.2 million and resulted from Lakes’ ability to carry back its taxable losses to a prior year and receive a refund of taxes previously paid. The Company’s effective tax rates were 0% and (227)% for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. For the nine months ended September 29, 2013, the effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets which were available to offset current income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to state taxes and discrete items recognized. | |
Lakes has recorded income taxes receivable of $2.2 million for the periods ended September 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 related to the Company’s ability to carry back 2012 taxable losses to a prior year and receive a refund of taxes previously paid. | |
Deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Management has evaluated all available evidence and has determined that negative evidence continues to outweigh positive evidence for the realization of deferred tax assets and as a result continues to provide a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. |

18. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||
Overview | ||||||||||
Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: | ||||||||||
● | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||||
● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |||||||||
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. | |||||||||
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, notes and interest receivable and other long-term assets related to Indian casino projects, cost method investments, accounts payable, contract acquisition costs payable and long-term debt. | ||||||||||
For the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and current portion of contract acquisition costs payable and long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short duration of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value based upon the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk. | ||||||||||

Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable - The significant inputs utilized in the calculation of the estimated fair value of the Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable as of December 30, 2012 included a discount rate and forecasted cash flows for the remaining duration of the management agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe. Lakes estimated the fair value of the notes and interest receivable from the Shingle Springs Tribe as of December 30, 2012, to be approximately $49.9 million using a discount rate of 12.8% and a remaining estimated term of 97 months. The discount rate utilized in the estimation of the fair value of the notes and interest receivable was indexed on the actual yield of the Shingle Springs Tribal Gaming Authority Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due on June 15, 2015. Lakes believes it was reasonable to utilize the actual yield of the Senior Notes, which were traded on the open market, as a basis in the fair value estimation of the Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable because the Shingle Springs notes receivable and the Senior Notes had similar collateral. Lakes adjusted the actual yield by 2.3% to determine the discount rate because the Shingle Springs notes receivable were subordinated to the Senior Notes. The Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable were repaid during the three months ended September 29, 2013 (see note 3, Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe). | ||||||||||
Other assets related to Indian casino projects - These assets included financial instruments related to deferred management fees and interest due from the Shingle Springs Tribe and other receivables as of December 30, 2012 (see note 8, Intangible and Other Assets Related to Indian Casino Projects). The Company estimated the fair value of these financial instruments to be $4.0 million as of December 30, 2012 using a discount rate of 19.5%. | ||||||||||
Investments in unconsolidated investees - The fair value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated investees was not estimated as of September 29, 2013 or December 30, 2012, as there were no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments, and Lakes’ management determined that it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments (see note 9, Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC and note 10, Investment in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC). | ||||||||||
Contract acquisition costs payable - The carrying amount of the liability approximates its estimated fair value of $4.6 million as of December 30, 2012. This liability was extinguished during the third quarter of 2013 (see note 13, Contract Acquisition Costs Payable). |

On May 17, 2012, Lakes received service of a breach of contract lawsuit filed in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio by Quest Media Group, LLC (“Quest”) with respect to an agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into between Lakes Ohio Development, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lakes) (“Lakes Ohio Development”) and Quest on March 9, 2010. The Agreement relates to Quest assisting Lakes Ohio Development in partnering with Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC and Penn Ventures, LLC (“Penn Ventures”) with respect to funding the proposed citizen-initiated referendum in November 2009 to amend the Ohio constitution to permit one casino each in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and Columbus, Ohio. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Lakes breached the Agreement by selling Lakes Ohio Development’s interest in the Toledo and Columbus, Ohio casino projects to Penn Ventures, failing to pay the proper fee to Quest as a result of such sale, and incorrectly calculating the costs that are to be offset against Quest’s fee. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages in excess of $25,000, punitive damages, declaratory and injunctive relief. The lawsuit names as defendants Lakes Entertainment, Inc., Lakes Ohio Development, LLC and Lyle Berman, Chairman and CEO of Lakes. Lakes removed the case to federal court and answered the pleadings. The case is still in discovery stage. Lakes believes the suit to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Miscellaneous Legal Matters | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lakes and its subsidiaries are involved in various other inquiries, administrative proceedings, and litigation relating to contracts and other matters arising in the normal course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an element of uncertainty, and although unable to estimate the minimum costs, if any, to be incurred in connection with these matters, management currently believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is remote, and is not likely to have a material adverse effect upon Lakes’ unaudited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no provision has been made with regard to these matters. |

20. Related Party Transaction | |
In March 2013, Lakes transferred to Lyle Berman, Lakes' Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, a $250,000 secured note from an unrelated third party company in exchange for a cash payment of $150,000 from Mr. Berman. The secured note was in default and related to a 2012 potential business development opportunity that Lakes decided not to pursue. The note receivable, which originated in 2012, was recorded as other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2012. The Company wrote the note receivable down to $150,000 as of December 30, 2012, resulting in the recognition of an impairment charge of $100,000 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the fourth quarter of 2012. |

21. Segment Information | |||||||||||||||||||||
Lakes’ segments reported below (in millions) are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The Rocky Gap segment includes results of operations and assets related to the Rocky Gap Casino Resort near Cumberland, Maryland. The Indian Casino Projects segment includes results of operations and assets related to the development, financing, and management of gaming-related properties for the Shingle Springs Tribe and the Jamul Tribe. The Other segment includes Lakes’ cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, Lakes corporate overhead and the investment in Rock Ohio Ventures. Costs in Other have not been allocated to the other segments because these costs are not easily allocable and to do so would not be practical. Amounts in Eliminations represent the intercompany management fee for Rocky Gap. | |||||||||||||||||||||
