ACQUISITION OF SILVER SLIPPER CASINO
13. ACQUISITION OF SILVER SLIPPER CASINO
 
On March 30, 2012, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Silver Slipper Casino Venture LLC to acquire all of the outstanding membership interest of the entity operating the Silver Slipper in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The purchase price was approximately $69.3 million, exclusive of estimated cash, net working capital balances, fees and expenses and other adjustments as customary, as of October 1, 2012.
 
On October 1, 2012, we closed on the acquisition of all of the equity membership interests in Silver Slipper Casino Venture LLC dba Silver Slipper Casino located in Bay St. Louis, Hancock County, Mississippi. The purchase price of approximately $69.3 million, exclusive of cash and working capital in the amount $6.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, was funded by a $50.0 million first lien term loan provided by Capital One as administrative agent and the lenders identified in the First Lien Credit Agreement dated June 29, 2012 and a $20.0 million second lien term loan provided by ABC Funding, LLC as administrative agent and the lenders identified in the Second Lien Credit Agreement dated October 1, 2012, as discussed in Note 8.  The $5.0 million revolving loan under the First Lien Credit Agreement remains undrawn and available.  The First and Second Lien Credit Agreements are secured by substantially all of our assets and therefore, our wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee our obligation under the agreements.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement is subject to the lien of the First Lien Credit agreement.
 
Through December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had incurred $1.6 million and $0.0 million in Silver Slipper acquisition related expenses, respectively, which are included in project development and acquisition expense.  In conjunction with closing on the First and Second Lien Credit Agreements, we incurred $5.7 million in financing related fees, which are located on the balance sheet under loan fees.
 
The purchase price was allocated in the fourth quarter of 2012 as follows (in millions):
 
Building
  $ 42.2  
Land improvements
    0.5  
Equipment
    4.6  
Intangibles
    1.4  
Player loyalty program
    5.9  
Goodwill (excess purchase price over the assets purchased)
    14.7  
Working capital
    2.9  
    $ 72.2  
 
The goodwill is the excess purchase price over the assets purchased and is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and the synergies expected to arise due to our acquisition of the Silver Slipper.  The valuation above includes a net working capital amount of $2.9 million.
 
The following unaudited, condensed consolidated pro forma data summarizes our results of operations for the periods indicated as if the acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2011.  This unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the acquisition been completed on that date, or of future financial results.  The estimated net income attributable to the Company and the net income per share have been adjusted for Silver Slipper’s effective tax rate in the State of Mississippi.
