6. ACQUISITIONS
Ocean Downs
On July 16, 2018, the Company announced its entry into the Liquidation Agreement for the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. As part of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, SHRI has agreed to grant the Company and its affiliates exclusive rights to operate online real-money sports betting and real-money iGaming on behalf of SHRI in New York and Colorado for a period of fifteen years from the date of the Liquidation Agreement, should such states permit SHRI to engage in sports betting and iGaming, subject to payment of commercially reasonable royalties to SHRI.
On August 31, 2018, the Company completed the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, which resulted in the Company owning 100% of the equity interests of Ocean Downs, and therefore consolidated Ocean Downs as of the acquisition date. Upon the closing of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, the Company no longer has an equity interest or management involvement in Saratoga New York or Saratoga Colorado. Prior to the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, the Company held an effective 62.5% ownership interest in Ocean Downs, and a 25% ownership interest in Saratoga New York and Saratoga Colorado, all of which were accounted for under the equity method. The consideration transferred to SCH to acquire the remaining interest in Ocean Downs were the Company's equity investments in Saratoga New York and Saratoga Colorado, which had a fair value of $47.8 million at the acquisition date. Under the acquisition method, the fair values of the consideration transferred and the Company's equity method investment in Ocean Downs, which had a fair value of $80.5 million at the acquisition date, were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. The Company's carrying values in these equity method investments were significantly less than their fair values, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $54.9 million, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value of the Company's equity method investments in Ocean Downs, Saratoga New York, and Saratoga Colorado were determined under the market and income valuation approaches using inputs primarily related to discounted projected cash flows and price multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.
The fair values of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction were based upon preliminary valuations. Estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period up to one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the preliminary valuations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of amounts for income taxes and the final amount of residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $13.1 million, at the date of the acquisition.

Current assets and current liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they are short term in nature and represented management's estimated fair value of the respective items at August 31, 2018. The debt of $54.7 million assumed by the Company was valued at its outstanding principal balance which approximated fair value at August 31, 2018. The Company subsequently paid off the debt in full on September 4, 2018.
The property and equipment acquired primarily relates to land, buildings, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The fair values of the property and equipment were primarily determined using the cost replacement method which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets.
The fair value of the Ocean Downs gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the overall business enterprise based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a casino in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows are a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue and operating expenses and start-up costs of Ocean Downs were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights. The renewal of the gaming rights in Maryland is subject to various legal requirements. However, the Company's historical experience has not indicated, nor does the Company expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew its gaming rights in Maryland.
The tradename intangible asset was valued using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible asset by discounting the fair value of the hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the asset. The tradename was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company’s intention to keep the Ocean Downs name for an indefinite period of time.
Goodwill of $20.2 million was recognized due to the expected contribution of Ocean Downs to the Company's overall business strategy. The goodwill was assigned to the Casino segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability and income tax expense of $12.6 million. The deferred tax liability represents the excess of the financial reporting amounts of the net assets of Ocean Downs over their respective basis under U.S., state, and local tax law expected to be applied to taxable income in the periods such differences are expected to be realized.
For the period from the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction on September 1 through September 30, 2018, net revenue was $8.1 million, and net income was not material for the period.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the Company's acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Ocean Downs occurred as of January 1, 2017 and excludes the gain recognized from the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results of operations that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2017.

Presque Isle and Nemacolin
On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into two separate definitive asset purchase agreements with Eldorado Resorts, Inc. ("ERI") to acquire substantially all of the assets and properties used in connection with the operation of Presque Isle Downs & Casino in Erie, Pennsylvania (the "Presque Isle Transaction"), and Lady Luck Casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi (the "Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction") for total aggregate consideration of approximately $229.5 million, to be paid in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments.
On July 6, 2018, the Company and ERI mutually agreed to terminate the asset purchase agreement with respect to the Lady Luck Vicksburg Transaction (the "Termination Agreement"). Concurrently with the entry into the Termination Agreement, the Company and ERI also entered into an amendment to the previously announced asset purchase agreement relating to the Presque Isle Transaction (the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and ERI agreed to, among other things, cooperate in good faith, subject to certain conditions, to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Company, for cash consideration of $100,000, will assume the rights and obligations of an affiliate of ERI to operate the Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin in Farmington, Pennsylvania (the "Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction"). The Presque Isle Transaction reflects a stand-alone purchase price of $178.9 million. Closing of the Presque Isle Transaction was also conditioned on the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to the Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction, which occurred on August 10, 2018 (the "Lady Luck Nemacolin Agreement"). Subject to receipt of Pennsylvania regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, the Presque Isle Transaction and the Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction are expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.
Upon the execution of the Lady Luck Nemacolin Agreement and pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company paid ERI a termination fee of $5.0 million, which is included in "Transaction expense, net" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
