Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information in Item 2.03 below regarding our entry into a Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement with Nevada State Bank and our promissory note in favor of the James R. Peters Family Trust is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 31, 2007, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Stockman’s Casino in Fallon, Nevada from the James R. Peters Family Trust for a purchase price of $26.75 million, including an adjustment based on Stockman’s financial performance over the past 12 months. Stockman’s Casino has approximately 8,400 square feet of gaming space with 274 slot machines, 4 table games and keno. There is a bar, a fine dining restaurant and a coffee shop. In addition, the facility includes a Holiday Inn Express, which has 98 guest rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, fitness center, meeting room and a business center. The acquisition was funded in part by a Reducing Revolving Loan from Nevada State Bank of $16 million and approximately $1.25 million of seller financing.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In connection with the acquisition described in Item 2.01 above, on January 31, 2007 we entered into a Reducing Revolving Loan Agreement Effective with Nevada State Bank and related promissory note, pledge agreement and guarantee by our Stockman’s subsidiary. The loan is for an initial maximum amount of $16,000,000, which amount decreases by $533,000 semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, any outstanding amounts above such reduced maximum must be repaid on such date. The loan matures on January 31, 2022 and bears interest at an initial rate equal to 7.3892% based on the five year LIBOR/Swap rate plus 2.1%. This rate adjusts annually based on the funded debt to EBITDA ratio of our Stockman’s subsidiary with adjustments based on the five year LIBOR/Swap rate occurring every five years. The loan agreement is guaranteed by our Stockman’s subsidiary and is secured by a pledge of the stock and the assets of our Stockman’s subsidiary.

The loan agreement contains customary representations, warranties and requires that our Stockman’s subsidiary maintain specified financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio, a funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum tangible net worth. In addition, the loan agreement limits the amount of distributions from and capital expenditures by our Stockman’s subsidiary. The loan agreement also provides for customary events of default including payment defaults and covenant defaults

The description of the loan is qualified by reference to the loan agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.80 and the related promissory note, which is attached as Exhibit 10.81 hereto.

In addition, we also entered into an approximately $1.25 million promissory note in favor of the seller of Stockman’s which is secured by a deed of trust, that is subordinated to the lien granted to Nevada State Bank, on the real property held by Stockman’s. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 7.44%, with monthly payments of principal and interest due over five years. The description of the note is qualified by reference to the promissory note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.82.
