Notes to unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and was based on the historical audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and unaudited financial statements of P2E for the ten months ended October 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of P2E to conform to the Company’s presentation.
The Purchase Agreement contemplated the acquisition by the Company of the following properties: Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent, Virginia, six historical racing entertainment venues across Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino in Waterloo, New York, and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux City, Iowa. Certain entities owned by P2E were not included in the P2E Acquisition, and have been excluded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in a column titled “P2E Excluded Entities”.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2022 gives effect to the P2E Acquisition and the interest expense on the Related Financing Transactions as if these transactions had occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented.
A consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, that includes the results of the P2E Acquisition is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum.
The acquisition method of accounting is based on authoritative guidance for business combinations and uses the fair value concepts defined in authoritative guidance. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP.
The authoritative guidance for business combinations requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If the fair value of an asset or liability that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability is recognized if it is probable that an asset existed or a liability has been incurred at the acquisition date and the amount of such asset or liability can be reasonably determined. In addition, the guidance establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the Closing Date at the then-current market price.
Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
The Transaction Adjustments include the impact of the P2E excluded entities on the Pro Forma Combined results.
The pro forma adjustments described below have been developed using currently available information and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by the Company’s management.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of the Company would have been had the P2E Acquisition and Related Financing Transactions occurred on the dates assumed, nor is the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or financial position.
