Additional Projects and Other Developments



In September 2016, the Company was selected by Horse Racing Alberta (“HRA”) as the successful applicant to own, build and operate a horse racing facility in the Edmonton market area, which the Company is planning to operate as Century Mile Racetrack and Casino. In March 2017, the Company received approval for the Century Mile project from the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (“AGLC”). Century Mile will be a one-mile horse racetrack and a multi-level REC. The multi-level REC is expected to have 550 slot machines, restaurants, bars, delis, an off-track betting parlor and grandstand and to hold a minimum of 100 horse races per year. The project is located on Edmonton International Airport land close to the city of Leduc, south of Edmonton.  Century Mile will be approximately 30 miles from both CRA and CSA. The Company estimates this project will cost approximately CAD 60.0 million ($46.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2017). Construction of the Century Mile project began in July 2017. The Company estimates that construction of this project will take approximately 15 months and that it will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company is seeking to obtain financing for the Century Mile project.



On June 20, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Century Casinos Europe GmbH (“CCE”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among Global Gaming Ventures (Group) Limited, Saw Close Casino Ltd.

The Company will utilize the casino licenses to develop and operate a casino in Bath, England. The Company paid GBP 0.1 million ($0.1 million) at closing. Payment of the remaining purchase consideration will be made after the receipt of certain regulatory and governmental approvals and the opening of the casino. Payment of the assumed liabilities is subject to certain performance criteria being met once the casino is in operation. The Company estimates that construction of the casino will cost GBP 5.0 million ($6.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2017) and that the casino will open in the first half of 2018.



Preparation of Financial Statements



The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.



In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.



Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts



The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD” or “$”).  Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods.  The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies.  These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“EUR”), Polish zloty (“PLN”) and British pound (“GBP”).  Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur. 



The exchange rates to the U.S. dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

Correction of Prior Period Balances

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company determined that it had erroneously recognized a reduction in pari-mutuel revenue for CBS totaling $0.7 million in its condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This error also affected the Company’s income tax expense, net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), equity, cash flows and Note 12 “Segment and Geographic Information” for the six months ended June 30, 2016.



The prior period amounts within the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have been revised to reflect the correct balances as presented below.
