3.ACQUISITIONS

Apex Acquisition

On October 1, 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, Century Casino St. Albert Inc., acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Casino St. Albert Inc. (“CSAI”), Action ATM Inc. (“AAI”) and MVP Sports Bar Ltd. (“MVP”), collectively operating the Apex Casino in St. Albert, Edmonton, Canada as well as acquiring the related land and real property held by Game Plan Developments Ltd. (the “Apex Acquisition”). The Company merged CSAI, AAI and MVP with Century Casino St. Albert Inc., the surviving company, and renamed the casino Century Casino St. Albert. CSA is a 34,500 square foot casino facility located on approximately six acres of land that includes 381 slot machines, 7 live table games, 12 video lottery terminals, a restaurant, a bar, a lounge and a banquet facility that can accommodate up to 175 guests.

The Company paid for the acquisition using additional financing from the second amended and restated credit agreement with the Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) (see Note 7). The total consideration of CAD 31.9 million ($24.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on October 1, 2016) (the “Purchase Price”) for the Apex Acquisition consisted of the following:

CAD 27.7 million ($21.1 million), which was paid at closing on October 1, 2016.

CAD 2.0 million ($1.5 million) in excess working capital paid as part of the Purchase Price pursuant to the purchase agreement, which was paid in February 2017.

The remaining CAD 2.2 million ($1.7 million) of the Purchase Price remains subject to certain holdbacks for indemnities that are set forth in the purchase agreement. The holdbacks will be held in an escrow account until the expiration of the agreed upon timelines.

As of October 1, 2016, the Company began consolidating Century Casino St. Albert Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary. CSA contributed $2.1 million in net operating revenue and $0.3 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and $4.1 million in net operating revenue and $0.3 million in net earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination. Accordingly, CSA’s assets of $22.4 million (including $3.1 million in cash) and liabilities of $1.7 million were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at October 1, 2016. Goodwill of $3.6 million is attributable to the business expansion opportunity for the Company. The acquisition leverages the Company’s management specialties and expertise in the gaming industry, expands the Company’s casino offerings in the Edmonton market and creates operational synergies. Goodwill is not a tax deductible item for the Company.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (excluding cash received) was determined to be $21.2 million as of the acquisition date. The fair value was determined using the following methods, which the Company believes provide the most appropriate indicators of fair value:

multi-period excess earnings method;

cost method;

capitalized cash flow method;

discounted cash flow method; and

direct market value approach.

Details of the purchase in the table below are based on estimated fair values of assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2016. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition have been recorded at their preliminary fair values. Certain estimated values for the acquisition are not yet finalized pending the final purchase price allocations, and as a result, the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price within one year of the acquisition.
