Fertitta Interactive Acquisition [Table Text Block]
Fertitta Interactive
The Company's majority-owned consolidated subsidiary, Fertitta Interactive ceased operations during the fourth quarter of 2014. Fertitta Interactive previously operated online gaming in New Jersey and online poker in Nevada under the Ultimate Gaming and Ultimate Poker brands, respectively.
The Company acquired a 50.1% ownership interest in Fertitta Interactive in November 2012 for $20.7 million in cash. Frank J. Fertitta III and Lorenzo J. Fertitta, who became the controlling members of the Company in April 2012, controlled Fertitta Interactive prior to its acquisition by the Company. As a result, the acquisition was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control, and the consolidated financial statements include the financial results of Fertitta Interactive for all periods subsequent to April 30, 2012. The acquisition was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, and the excess of the purchase price over the historical cost of the net assets acquired was treated as a deemed distribution for accounting purposes.
In September 2014, Fertitta Interactive terminated its online gaming operations agreement with its partner in New Jersey due to multiple breaches by the partner. Later in the same month, the partner filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization and Fertitta Interactive ceased operating online gaming in New Jersey. As a result of these developments, management determined that the carrying amounts of Fertitta Interactive's long-lived assets were no longer recoverable, primarily due to forecasted negative cash flows. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim impairment test for all of Fertitta Interactive's long-lived assets during the third quarter of 2014 and recognized impairment charges totaling $21.5 million to write off all of the assets. The charges included $5.6 million for goodwill impairment and $15.9 million for other asset impairment, primarily representing property and equipment and an advancement fee related to its New Jersey operations. In November 2014, Fertitta Interactive ceased operating online poker in Nevada and commenced a wind-down of its operations.
The results of Fertitta Interactive have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Following is an analysis of discontinued operations (amounts in thousands):
