EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 11, 2009 (the “Original Quarterly Report”). The Company has determined that its accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests was incorrect as we did not separately disclose the accreted value on the condensed consolidated statements of income as a deduction from net income to determine net income available to Landry’s common stockholders for the purpose of calculating earnings per share. This amendment revises the following:

Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements

Part I — Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Except as described above, no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures presented in the Original Quarterly Report. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Quarterly Report, or modify or update those disclosures, including the exhibits to the Original Annual Report, affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Quarterly Report, including any amendments to those filings.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and changes therein for the periods presented have been included.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of 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 are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends” and other similar expressions. Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainty, including, without limitation, our ability to continue our expansion strategy, our ability to make projected capital expenditures, as well as general market conditions, competition, and pricing.

This report includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should” or “will” or other comparable words or the negative of these words. When you consider our forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors we describe and other cautionary statements we make in this offering circular. Our forward-looking statements are only predictions based on expectations that we believe are reasonable. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of known risks and uncertainties set forth below and elsewhere in this offering circular. These factors include or relate to the following:

 

   

our ability to implement our business strategy;

 

   

our ability to expand and grow our business and operations;

 

   

the outcome of legal proceedings that have been, or may be, initiated against us related to the proposed merger with an affiliate in 2008 and its termination;

 

   

the impact of future commodity prices;

 

   

the availability of food products, materials and employees;

 

   

consumer perceptions of food safety;

 

   

changes in local, regional and national economic conditions;

 

   

the effects of local and national economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general and our businesses in particular;

 

   

the effectiveness of our marketing efforts;

 

   

changing demographics surrounding our restaurants, hotels and casinos;

 

   

the effect of changes in tax laws;

 

   

actions of regulatory, legislative, executive or judicial decisions at the federal, state or local level with regard to our business and the impact of any such actions;

 

   

our ability to maintain regulatory approvals for our existing businesses and our ability to receive regulatory approval for our new businesses;

 

   

our expectations of the continued availability and cost of capital resources;

 

   

our ability to obtain long-term financing and the cost of such financing, if available;

 

   

the seasonality and cyclical nature of our business;

 

   

weather and acts of God;

 

   

the ability to maintain existing management;

Table of Contents
   

the impact of potential acquisitions of other restaurants, gaming operations and lines of businesses in other sectors of the hospitality and entertainment industries;

 

   

the impact of potential divestitures of restaurants, restaurant concepts and other operations or lines of business;

 

   

food, labor, fuel and utilities costs; and

 

   

the other factors discussed under “Risk Factors,” included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. To the extent these risks, uncertainties and assumptions give rise to events that vary from our expectations, the forward-looking events discussed herein may not occur. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Some of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein. We assume no obligation to modify or revise any forward looking statements to reflect any subsequent events or circumstances arising after the date that the statement was made.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS, RESTATEMENT AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We are a national, diversified restaurant, hospitality and entertainment company principally engaged in the ownership and operation of full service, casual dining restaurants, primarily under the names Landry’s Seafood House, Charley’s Crab, The Chart House, Saltgrass Steak House and Rainforest Cafe. In addition, we own and operate domestically and license internationally rainforest themed restaurants under the trade name Rainforest Cafe, and we own and operate the Golden Nugget Hotels and Casinos in downtown Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada and the Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah, Texas.

Discontinued Operations

During 2006, as part of a strategic review of our operations, we initiated a plan to divest certain restaurants, including 136 Joe’s Crab Shack units (Note 3). Subsequently, several additional locations were added to our disposal plan. The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the disposal plan have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statements of income, balance sheets and segment information for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Landry’s Restaurants, Inc., a Delaware holding company, and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries and partnerships. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. The financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and accruals, which we consider necessary for fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. This information is contained in our December 31, 2008, consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

Restaurant and hospitality revenues are recognized when the goods and services are delivered. Casino revenues are the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs (“casino front money”) and for chips in the customers possession (“outstanding chip liability”). Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives as well as accruals for the cost of points earned in point-loyalty programs. The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to hotel-casino guests without charge is deducted from revenue as promotional allowances. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are deferred and recognized as revenue when redeemed by the holder.

Accounts receivable is comprised primarily of amounts due from our credit card processor, receivables from national storage and distribution companies and, casino and hotel receivables. The receivables from national storage and distribution companies arise when certain of our inventory items are conveyed to these companies at cost (including freight and holding charges but without any general overhead costs). These conveyance transactions do not impact the consolidated statements of income as there is no revenue or expense recognized in the financial statements since they are without economic substance other than drayage. We reacquire these items, although not obligated to, when subsequently delivered to our restaurants at cost plus the distribution company’s contractual mark-up. Accounts receivable are reduced to reflect estimated realizable values by an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection experience and specific review of individual accounts. Receivables are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible.

We account for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. Our properties are reviewed for impairment on a property by property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. The recoverability of properties that are to be held and used is measured by comparison of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset to the carrying amount of the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Properties to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, reduced for estimated disposal costs, and are included in assets related to discontinued operations.

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

hierarchy for fair value measurements, such that Level 1 measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market, Level 2 measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market which have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets, and Level 3 measurements include those that are unobservable and of a highly subjective measure.

Our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, consist of interest rate swaps (Note 5), for which the lowest level of input significant to their fair value measurement is Level 2. As of March 31, 2009, the fair value of the interest rate swap liabilities totaled $83.6 million, of which $64.4 million are designated and qualify as hedges and the remaining $19.2 million do not qualify as hedges. These amounts, net of taxes, are recorded as other long term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within our Balance Sheet and Statement of Income to conform to the current year presentation. The statements of cash flows have been changed to begin with net income. This change had no impact on cash provided by operating activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R), which expands the use of the acquisition method of accounting used in business combinations to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses or assets. This statement replaces SFAS No. 141 by requiring measurement at the acquisition date of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest. Additionally, SFAS 141R requires that acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, be recognized as expense separately from the acquisition. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first fiscal period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this guidance will affect our consolidated financial statements only to the extent we complete business combinations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 applies to the accounting for non-controlling interests (previously referred to as minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009 and have retro-actively adjusted the presentation of our financial statements to reflect the effect of our non-controlling interests in a single restaurant operation.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009 and have included the required expanded disclosures within this report.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 removed the requirement of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142), for an entity to consider, when determining the useful life of an acquired intangible asset, whether the intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material modification to the existing terms and conditions associated with the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 replaces the previous useful life assessment criteria with a requirement that an entity considers its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. If the entity has no relevant experience, it would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal. FSP FAS 142-3 is being applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. It establishes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not the auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not believe that implementation of SFAS 162 will have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. In accordance with the FSP, unvested equity-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered to participate with common shareholders in undistributed earnings. As a result, the awards are required to be included in the calculation of basic earnings per common share pursuant to the “two-class” method. Our participating securities are composed of unvested restricted stock. These participating securities, prior to application of the FSP, were excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of basic earnings per common share. We applied the provisions of the FSP beginning on January 1, 2009, and have calculated and presented basic earnings per common share on this basis for all periods presented. The impact of the inclusion of participating securities in the calculation of basic earnings per common share for prior periods was not material.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“SFAS No. 107”), and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting (“APB No. 28”). This pronouncement is effective for our reporting periods beginning with our June 30, 2009 interim financial statements. The amendments expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 and APB No. 28 about how an entity reports on fair value to be included in the summarized, interim financial statements. We do not anticipate that this FASB Staff Position will impact our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations, and we will include the required disclosures beginning with our June 30, 2009 interim financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which provides guidance for measuring and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in interim and annual financial statements. As we currently do not own any debt or equity securities, this Staff Position is not expected to impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Should we own any such securities in the future, the provisions of this Staff Position will be applied.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FSP FAS 157-4, which will become effective for the interim and annual reporting beginning in the second quarter 2009, provides additional guidance related to the estimation of fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, the identification of transactions that are not orderly, and the use of judgment in evaluating the relevance of inputs such as transaction prices. We do not anticipate the implementation of this new accounting standard will significantly change our valuation or disclosure of financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities under the scope of FAS 157.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination (FSP FAS 141(R)-1). FSP FAS 141(R)-1, which became effective for business combinations having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009, requires an asset or liability arising from a contingency in a business combination to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If it cannot, the asset or liability must be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of the Loss. The implementation of this guidance will affect our consolidated financial statements only to the extent we complete business combinations.

Restatement

We have determined that our previous accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests was incorrect, as we did not separately disclose the accreted value on the condensed consolidated statements of income as a deduction from net income to determine net income available to Landry’s common stockholders for the purpose of calculating earnings per share. This restatement has no effect on the Company’s cash flows or financial position and required no entry to the Company’s internal accounting records. This information has been restated as follows:

2. HURRICANE IKE

On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike struck the Gulf Coast of the United States, causing considerable damage to the cities of Galveston, Kemah and Houston, Texas and surrounding areas. Several of our restaurants in Galveston and Kemah sustained significant damage, as did the amusement rides, the boardwalk itself and some infrastructure at the Kemah Boardwalk. The Kemah and Galveston properties had been a significant driver of our overall performance in 2008. All Houston, Galveston and Kemah restaurants have reopened. The difference between impairments of book value arising from Hurricane Ike damage and the associated insurance proceeds resulted in the recognition of a $3.5 million gain in the first quarter of 2009.

We also maintain business interruption insurance coverage and have recorded approximately $0.2 million in recoveries during the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to lost profits at our affected locations in Galveston and the Kemah Boardwalk. This amount was recorded as revenue in our consolidated financial statements.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

During the third quarter of 2006, as part of a strategic review of our operations, we initiated a plan to divest certain restaurants including 136 Joe’s Crab Shack (“Joe’s”) units. Subsequently, several additional locations were added to our disposal plan. The results of operations for all stores included in our disposal plan have been classified as discontinued operations in our statements of income, balance sheets and segment information for all periods presented.

On November 17, 2006, we completed the sale of 120 Joe’s restaurants to an unaffiliated entity for approximately $192.0 million, including the assumption of certain working capital liabilities to be finalized in 2009. In connection with the sale, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges and a loss on disposal totaling $49.2 million.

We expect to sell the land and improvements belonging to the remaining restaurants in the disposal plan, or abandon those locations, during the next twelve months.

No impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

5. DEBT

During 2008, we obtained a financing commitment which included up to $250.0 million in term loans.

On December 19, 2008, we entered into an $81.0 million interim senior secured credit facility to fund a portion of the commitment. The interim senior secured credit facility provided for a $31.0 million senior secured term loan facility and a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to refinance the remaining outstanding indebtedness under our previously issued and outstanding senior credit facility and to pay related transaction fees and expenses.

We subsequently funded an additional $135.0 million under the commitment by entering into a $215.6 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2009 (the Credit Agreement) which included the interim senior secured credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $165.6 million, which includes the $31 million term loan and the revolving credit line of $50.0 million that was previously funded. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a first lien position on substantially all of our assets and the Guarantors.

On February 13, 2009, we completed the offering of $295.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 14.0% senior secured notes due 2011 (the Notes). The gross proceeds from the offering and sale of the Notes were $260.0 million. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis as to principal, premium, if any, and interest by all of our current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries (each individually a Guarantor and collectively, the Guarantors) and are secured by a second lien position on substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ assets. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 13, 2009 (Indenture), among us, the Guarantors and Deutsche Bank Trust Company America, as Trustee and as Collateral Agent.

The Notes will mature on August 15, 2011. Interest on the Notes will accrue from February 13, 2009, at a fixed interest rate of 14.0% to be paid twice a year, on each February 15th and August 15th, beginning August 15, 2009. We may redeem the Notes any time at par, plus accrued interest. We are required to offer to purchase the Notes at 101% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest, if we experience a change in control as defined in the Indenture.

The Indenture under which the Notes have been issued contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant as well as restrictions that limit our ability and the ability of the Guarantors to, among other things: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock; make capital expenditures or certain types of investments; sell assets or merge with other companies.

We and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of February 13, 2009 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Jefferies & Company, Inc. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we and the Guarantors have agreed to use our best efforts to file and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to

Table of Contents

LANDRY’S RESTAURANTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

exchange the Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), having substantially identical terms as the Notes (except that additional interest provisions and transfer restrictions pertaining to the Notes will be deleted). If we fail to cause the registration statement relating to the exchange offer to become effective within the time periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay additional interest on the Notes until the registration statement is declared effective.

We also entered into a $215.6 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 13, 2009 (the Credit Agreement) which replaced the interim senior secured credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan of $165.6 million and a revolving credit line of $50.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a first lien position on substantially all of our assets and the Guarantors.

Interest on the Credit Agreement accrues at a base rate (which is the greater of 5.50%, the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%, or Wells Fargo’s prime rate) plus a credit spread of 5.0%, or at our option, at the Eurodollar base rate of at least 3.5% plus a credit spread of 6.0%, and matures on May 13, 2011.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit our ability and the Guarantors to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; create liens; make capital expenditures; pay dividends on or repurchase stock; make certain types of investments; sell assets or merge with other companies. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

We used the proceeds from the Notes offering, together with borrowings under the Credit Agreement to refinance our existing $395.7 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior notes due 2014 (the “9.5% Notes”) and $4.3 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% senior notes due 2014 (the “7.5% Notes” and, together with the 9.5% Notes, the “Existing Notes”). As of March 31, 2009, $0.8 million of our 7.5% Notes and $.9 million of our 9.5% Notes remained outstanding. In addition, we paid a redemption premium of approximately $4.0 million in connection with the repurchase of the Existing Notes.

In connection with the refinancing of our Existing Notes, on December 23, 2008, we commenced separate cash tender offers (each a “tender offer” and together, the “tender offers”) to purchase any and all of our outstanding 9.5% Notes and 7.5% Notes for a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof. In conjunction with the tender offers, we solicited consents of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each of the outstanding 9.5% Notes and 7.5% Notes to certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing such 9.5% Notes and 7.5% Notes to eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and to amend certain other provisions contained in the indentures and notes related thereto. We executed supplemental indentures with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, to effectuate the proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Existing Notes, which became operative upon the consummation of the Notes offering.

With respect to any Existing Notes that were not tendered, we may, at our option, either (i) pay such Existing Notes in accordance with their terms through maturity, (ii) repurchase any 9.5% Notes if the holders exercise their option to require us to do so, at 101% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, through the payment date or (iii) defease any or all of the remaining Existing Notes.

In June 2007, our wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary, Golden Nugget, Inc. (the “Golden Nugget”), completed a new $545.0 million credit facility consisting of a $330.0 million first lien term loan, a $50.0 million revolving credit facility, and a $165.0 million second lien term loan. The $330.0 million first lien term loan includes a $120.0 million delayed draw component to finance the expansion at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The revolving credit facility expires on June 30, 2013 and the first lien term loan matures on June 30, 2014. Both the first lien term loan and the revolving credit facility bear interest at Libor or the bank’s base rate, plus a financing spread of 2.0% and 0.75%, respectively, at March 31, 2009. In addition, the credit facility requires a commitment fee on the unfunded portion for both the $50.0 million revolving credit facility and the $120.0 million delayed draw component of the first lien term loan. The second lien term loan matures on December 31, 2014 and bears interest at Libor or the bank’s base rate, plus a financing spread of 3.25% and 2.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2009. The financing spreads and commitment fees for the revolving credit facility increase or decrease depending on the leverage ratio as defined in the credit facility. The first lien term loan requires one percent of the outstanding principal balance due annually to be paid in equal quarterly installments commencing on September 30, 2009, with the balance due on maturity. Principal of the second lien term loan is due at maturity. The Golden Nugget’s subsidiaries have granted liens on substantially all real property and personal property as collateral under the credit facility and are guarantors of the credit facility.

The proceeds from the $545.0 million credit facility were used to repay all of the Golden Nugget’s outstanding debt, including its 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 totaling $155.0 million, plus the outstanding balance of approximately $10.0 million on its former $43.0 million revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. In addition, the proceeds were used to pay associated tender premiums of approximately $8.8 million due to the early redemption of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued interest and related transaction fees and expenses. We expect to incur higher interest expense as a result of the increased borrowings associated with the Golden Nugget financing. In 2008, the revolver commitment was reduced to $47.0 million and the delayed draw term loan commitment was reduced to $117.5 million as a result of the failure of one of the lending banks.

Consistent with our policy to manage our exposure to interest rate risk and in conformity with the requirements of the first and second lien facilities, we entered into interest rate swaps for all of the first and second lien borrowings of the Golden Nugget that fix the interest rates at between 5.4% and 5.5%, plus the applicable margin. We have designated $210.0 million of the first lien interest rate swaps and all of the second lien swaps as cash flow hedging transactions as set forth in SFAS 133. These swaps mirror the terms of the underlying debt and reset using the same index and terms. At March 31, 2009 these swaps were determined to be highly effective, and no ineffective portion was recognized in income. Included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are unrealized losses, net of income taxes, totaling $41.8 million and $44.3 million, respectively, related to these hedges. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the impact of these interest rate swaps increased interest expense by $5.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The remaining interest rate swaps associated with the $120.0 million of first lien borrowings reflecting the delayed draw construction loan have not been designated as hedges and the change in fair market value is reflected as other income/expense in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, a non-cash gain of approximately $0.4 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2009, while a non-cash expense of $4.7 million associated with these swaps was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Our debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants including minimum EBITDA, fixed charge and financial leverage ratios, limitations on capital expenditures, and other restricted payments as defined in the agreements. In addition, the Golden Nugget debt agreement requires a parent contribution if the leverage ratio, as defined, falls below a predetermined level through December 31, 2009. The contribution is required to be made within 10 days of reporting the Golden Nugget quarterly results to the lenders. As a result of reduced operating results combined with additional borrowings for construction of the new tower, we expect to contribute approximately $13.0 million in cash to the Golden Nugget in May 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $20.8 million in letters of credit outstanding, and our available borrowing capacity was $51.7 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities . In accordance with the FSP, unvested equity-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered to participate with common shareholders in undistributed earnings. As a result, the awards are required to be included in the calculation of basic earnings per common share pursuant to the “two-class” method. For Landry’s, participating securities are comprised of unvested restricted stock. These participating securities, prior to application of the FSP, were excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding in the calculation of basic earnings per common share. The basic and diluted earnings per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payments. SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. We have several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, total stock-based compensation expense, which includes both stock options and restricted stock, totaled $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is not reported at the segment level as these amounts are not included in internal measurements of segment operating performance.

No restricted stock or stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

8. INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As of January 1, 2009, we had approximately $15.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including $2.3 million of interest and penalties, which represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact our effective income tax rate in future periods. There were no material changes in unrecognized benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2009. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits with respect to our uncertain tax positions could significantly increase or decrease within 12 months. However, based on the current status of examinations, it is not possible to estimate the future impact, if any, to recorded uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2009. Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2005. Substantially all material state and local income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2004. The Internal Revenue Service has substantially completed its audit of tax years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 with no material issues identified to date.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Building Commitments

As of March 31, 2009, we had future development, land purchases and construction commitments anticipated to be expended within the next twelve months of approximately $61.8 million, including construction of certain new restaurants and the construction of a hotel tower at the Golden Nugget – Las Vegas. We estimate aggregate capital expenditures for the remainder of the year to be $86.0 million, most of which relates to the tower.

In 2003, we purchased the Flagship Hotel and Pier from the City of Galveston, Texas, subject to an existing lease. Under this agreement, we have committed to spend an additional $15.0 million to transform the hotel and pier into a 19th century style inn and entertainment complex complete with rides and carnival type games. The property was significantly damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008. We are currently in litigation with the former tenant due to its failure to purchase adequate insurance and are evaluating our options concerning the property.

Other Commitments

On February 24, 2006, we acquired 80% of T-Rex Cafe, Inc. from Schussler Creative, Inc. (SCI). The agreement with SCI provides that we can acquire SCI’s 20% interest for up to $35.0 million or that SCI can put its interest to us at a calculated amount as determined in the agreement no earlier than January 2010. During the first quarter of 2009, we determined that the redemption was probable and began accreting to the expected redemption value on the expected redemption date. We are recording the estimated amount as an increase to non-controlling interests liability and a decrease to retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2009.

Certain of our casino employees at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, Nevada are members of various unions and are covered by union-sponsored, collective bargained, multi-employer health and welfare and defined benefit pension plans. Under such plans, we recorded expenses of $3.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The plans’ sponsors have not provided sufficient information to permit us to determine its share of unfunded vested benefits, if any. However, based on available information, we do not believe that unfunded amounts attributable to our casino operations are material.

We are self-insured for most health care benefits for our non-union casino employees. The liability for claims filed and estimates of claims incurred but not reported is included in “accrued liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with certain of our discontinued operations, we remain the guarantor or assignor of a number of leased locations. In the event of future default under any of such leased locations, we may be responsible for significant damages to existing landlords which may materially affect our financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows. We estimate that lessee rental payment obligations during the remaining terms of the assignments and subleases approximate $69.7 million at March 31, 2009. We have recorded a liability of $5.7 million with respect to these obligations, where it is probable that we will make future cash payments. We believe the remaining obligations will be met by the third party.

We manage and operate the Galveston Island Convention Center in Galveston, Texas. In connection with the Galveston Island Convention Center Management Contract (“Contract”), we agreed to fund operating losses, if any, subject to certain rights of reimbursement. Under the Contract, we have the right to one-half of any profits generated by the operation of the Convention Center.

Litigation and Claims

Following Mr. Fertitta’s proposal to acquire all of our outstanding stock, two putative class action lawsuits were filed as follows:

James F. Stuart, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. et al., was filed on June 26, 2008 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Stuart”). We are named as a defendant along with our directors, among others. Stuart is a putative class action in which plaintiff alleges that the merger agreement unduly hinders obtaining the highest value for shares of our stock. Plaintiff also alleges that the merger is unfair. Plaintiff seeks to enjoin or rescind the merger, an accounting and damages along with costs and fees.

David Barfield v. Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. et al., was filed on June 27, 2008 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Barfield”). We are named in this case along with our directors, among others. Barfield is a putative class action in which plaintiff alleges that our directors aided and abetted Parent and Merger Sub, and have breached their fiduciary duties by failing to engage in a fair and reliable sales process leading up to the merger agreement. Plaintiff seeks to enjoin or rescind the transaction, an accounting and damages along with costs and fees.

Stuart and Barfield were consolidated by court order. The consolidated action is proceeding under Consolidated C.A. No. 3856-VCL; In re: Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. Shareholder Litigation. In their consolidated complaint, plaintiffs allege that our directors breached fiduciary duties to our stockholders and that the preliminary proxy statement filed on July 17, 2008 fails to disclose what plaintiffs contend are material facts. Plaintiffs also alleged that we, Parent and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breach of fiduciary duty. We believe that this action is without merit and intend to contest the above matter vigorously.

On February 5, 2009, a purported class action and derivative lawsuit entitled Louisiana Municipal Police Employee’s Retirement System on behalf of itself and all other similarly situated shareholders of Landry’s Restaurant’s, Inc. and derivatively on behalf of minimal defendant Landry’s Restaurant’s, Inc. was brought against all members of our Board of Directors, Fertitta Holdings, Inc., and Fertitta Acquisition Co. in the Court at Chancery of the State of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, a breach of a fiduciary duty by the directors for renegotiating the Merger Agreement with the Fertitta entities, allowing Mr. Fertitta to acquire shares of stock in the Company and gain majority control thereof, and terminating the Merger Agreement without requiring payment of the reverse termination fee. The suit seeks consummation of the merger buyout at $21.00 a share or damages representing the difference between $21.00 per share and the price at which class members sold their stock in the open market, or damages for allowing Mr. Fertitta to acquire control of the Company without paying a control premium, or alternately requiring payment of the reverse termination fee or damages for the devaluation of the Company’s stock. We intend to contest this matter vigorously.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2009, our management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as filed on May 11, 2009, the Company’s management concluded, based on that evaluation, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009 were effective and management reported that there was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In conjunction with the restatement described in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this document, a re-evaluation was performed as of March 31, 2009 of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this re-evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009 due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting solely related to our restatement of net income available to Company stockholders for the purpose of calculating earnings per share arising from the application of EITF D-98.
