Due to the nature of the CDR land lease financing obligation, there are no principal payments due until the Company exercises its option to purchase the land. Lease payments are applied to interest only, and any change in the outstanding balance of the financing obligation relates to foreign currency translation.

The consolidated weighted average interest rate on all Company debt was 7.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company pays a floating interest rate on its borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement and the current interest rate is approximately 3.75%. The Company pays a weighted average interest rate of 5.60% on its borrowings under the CPL loan agreements. The weighted average interest rate on all Company debt is higher than the 3.75% interest rate of the BMO Credit Agreement and the weighted average interest of 5.60% on the CPL loan agreements due to the CDR financing obligation, on which the Company pays an implicit interest rate of 10.0%.  

 

Credit Agreement – Bank of Montreal

In May 2012, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into the CAD 28.0 million credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal. On August 15, 2014, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into an amended and restated BMO Credit Agreement that increased the principal amount of the loan to CAD 39.1 million. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had borrowed CAD 17.5 million, of which the outstanding balance was CAD 15.5 million ($13.8 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2014) and the Company had approximately CAD 21.6 million ($19.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on September 30, 2014) available under the BMO Credit Agreement. The outstanding borrowings cannot be re-borrowed once they are repaid. The Company has used borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement primarily to repay the Company’s mortgage loan related to the Edmonton property, pay for the additional 33.3% investment in CPL (Note 3) and pay for development costs related to the REC project (Note 3). The Company can also use the loan proceeds to pursue the development or acquisition of new gaming opportunities and for general corporate purposes. Borrowings bear interest at fixed rates or at BMO’s floating rate plus a margin.  Any funds not drawn down under the BMO Credit Agreement are subject to standby fees ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% payable quarterly in arrears. The BMO Credit Agreement has a term of five years through August 2019 and is guaranteed by the Company. The shares of the Company’s subsidiaries in Edmonton and Calgary and the Company’s 15% interest in CDR are pledged as collateral for the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to the Canadian subsidiaries, in addition to covenants restricting their incurrence of additional debt. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the BMO Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2014.

 

Amortization expenses relating to deferred financing charges were $0.1 million for the period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. These costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of earnings.
