To the Partners of the
Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino
Elgin, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino (the Joint Venture), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income, partners equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Joint Ventures preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Joint Ventures internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ELGIN RIVERBOAT RESORTRIVERBOAT CASINO
1. | BUSINESS |
Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino (the Joint Venture), doing business as the Grand Victoria Casino, was formed in December 1992, as a partnership under the Joint Venture Agreement between RBG, L.P. (Managing Partner) and Nevada Landing Partnership, in which each owns a 50% interest.
The Joint Venture is licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) to own and operate a riverboat casino on the Fox River in Elgin, Illinois. The original license was issued on October 6, 1994. On October 7, 2016, the IGB approved the renewal of the license for another term of four years.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include investments and interest-bearing instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. Such investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The Joint Venture maintains cash balances at a financial institution in excess of federally insured limits. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $300,000 of restricted cash related to the certificate of deposit used as collateral (refer to Note 9).
InventoriesInventories, consisting of food, beverage and gift shop items, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings |
39 years | |||
Riverboat |
20 years | |||
Leasehold improvements |
15 years | |||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment, and gaming equipment |
25 years |
Long-Lived AssetsThe Joint Venture reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The factors considered by the Joint Venture in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized by the Joint Venture during 2017, 2016, or 2015.
- 7 -
Reserve for Players ClubThe Joint Ventures players club allows customers to earn points based on the volume of slot play. Points are redeemable for cash back incentives.
The Joint Venture has accrued a liability for all points earned but not yet redeemed by active slot club members. This average cost has been determined to be 33.51% of the retail value.
Revenue RecognitionCasino revenues are recorded as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers possession. Jackpots, other than the incremental amount of progressive jackpots, are recognized at the time they are won by customers. The Joint Venture accrues the incremental amount of progressive jackpots as the progressive machine is played and the progressive jackpot amount increases, with a corresponding reduction of casino revenue. Food, beverage, admissions and other revenues are recorded as services are rendered.
Promotional AllowancesThe retail value of food, beverage, admissions and other complimentary items furnished to customers without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated costs of providing such promotional allowances have been included in casino expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, and are as follows:

|
|
|
|
|

Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and included in other operating expenses. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $7,183,307, $6,335,420, and $7,107,142, respectively.
Income TaxesThe Joint Venture is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes, since any income or losses allocated to the Members are reportable for income tax purposes by each Member. The Joint Ventures income tax returns and the amount of allocable income are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If an examination results in a change to the Joint Ventures income, the Members taxes may also change.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
- 8 -
Gaming and Admission TaxesThe gaming tax payable to the State of Illinois is based on annual graduated rates ranging from 15% to 50% of adjusted gross receipts (as defined). In addition to the gaming tax, an admission tax of $3 per person entering the casino is assessed on the Joint Venture. Taxes are payable throughout the year in accordance with the schedule below:
Adjusted Gross Receipts | Tax Rate | |||||||||
$ | | $ | 25,000,000 | 15.0 | % | |||||
25,000,001 | 50,000,000 | 22.5 | ||||||||

150,000,001 | 200,000,000 | 45.0 | ||||||||
200,000,001 | And above | 50.0 |
Gaming and admission taxes were approximately $55.47 million, $53.18 million, and $56.88 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, and are included in casino expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

10. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this guidance state that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In August 2015, FASB issued new guidance to defer the effective date of the pronouncement to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Joint Venture is currently evaluating the standard to understand the overall impact it will have on the financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The objective of the update is to improve financial reporting by increasing transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments is permitted for all entities. The Joint Venture is currently evaluating the impact that this amended guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
11. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
No events have occurred after December 31, 2017, but before February 13, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued that require consideration as adjustments to or disclosures in the financial statements.

ELGIN RIVERBOAT RESORTRIVERBOAT CASINO
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2018 AND DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND FOR SIX-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017
1. | BUSINESS |
Elgin Riverboat ResortRiverboat Casino (the Joint Venture), doing business as the Grand Victoria Casino, was formed in December 1992, as a partnership under the Joint Venture Agreement between RBG, L.P. (Managing Partner) and Nevada Landing Partnership, in which each owns a 50% interest.
The Joint Venture is licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) to own and operate a riverboat casino on the Fox River in Elgin, Illinois. The original license was issued on October 6, 1994. On October 7, 2016, the IGB approved the renewal of the license for another term of four years.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of PresentationThe condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in our opinion include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.
Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include investments and interest-bearing instruments with an original maturity of three months or less. Such investments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The Joint Venture maintains cash balances at a financial institution in excess of federally insured limits. Included in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is $300,000 of restricted cash related to the certificate of deposit used as collateral (refer to Note 9).
InventoriesInventories, consisting of food, beverage and gift shop items, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings |
39 years | |||
Riverboat |
20 years | |||
Leasehold improvements |
15 years | |||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment, and gaming equipment |
25 years |
Long-Lived AssetsThe Joint Venture reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The factors considered by
- 6 -
the Joint Venture in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized by the Joint Venture for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
Reserve for Players ClubThe Joint Ventures players club allows customers to earn points based on the volume of slot play. Points are redeemable for cash back incentives. The Joint Venture has accrued a liability for all points earned but not yet redeemed by active slot club members.
Revenue RecognitionCasino revenues are recorded as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers possession. Jackpots, other than the incremental amount of progressive jackpots, are recognized at the time they are won by customers. The Joint Venture accrues the incremental amount of progressive jackpots as the progressive machine is played and the progressive jackpot amount increases, with a corresponding reduction of casino revenue. Food, beverage, admissions and other revenues are recorded as services are rendered.
Promotional AllowancesThe retail value of food, beverage, admissions and other complimentary items furnished to customers without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated costs of providing such promotional allowances have been included in casino expenses, and are as follows for the six-months ended June 30:
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Food and beverage |
$ | 3,619,653 | $ | 3,881,652 | ||||

|
|
|
|
|||||
$ | 5,441,418 | $ | 5,907,876 | |||||
|
|
|
|
Advertising ExpensesAdvertising expenses are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative. Advertising expenses for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $2,322,970 and $3,500,180, respectively.
Income TaxesThe Joint Venture is taxed as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes, since any income or losses allocated to the Members are reportable for income tax purposes by each Member. The Joint Ventures income tax returns and the amount of allocable income are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If an examination results in a change to the Joint Ventures income, the Members taxes may also change.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
- 7 -
Gaming and Admission TaxesThe gaming tax payable to the State of Illinois is based on annual graduated rates ranging from 15% to 50% of adjusted gross receipts (as defined). In addition to the gaming tax, an admission tax of $3 per person entering the casino is assessed on the Joint Venture. Taxes are payable throughout the year in accordance with the schedule below:
Adjusted Gross Receipts | Tax Rate | |||||||||
$ | | $ | 25,000,000 | 15.0 | % | |||||
25,000,001 | 50,000,000 | 22.5 | ||||||||
50,000,001 | 75,000,000 | 27.5 | ||||||||
75,000,001 | 100,000,000 | 32.5 | ||||||||
100,000,001 | 150,000,000 | 37.5 | ||||||||
150,000,001 | 200,000,000 | 45.0 | ||||||||
200,000,001 | And above | 50.0 |
In the state of Illinois, gaming taxes are based on graduated rates. The Joint Venture records gaming tax expense at the Joint Ventures estimated effective gaming tax rate on an annual basis, considering estimated taxable gaming revenue and the applicable rates. Such estimates are adjusted each interim period.
Gaming and admission taxes were approximately $26.01 million and $28.63 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in casino expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of income.

10. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this guidance state that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and
- 10 -
uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. In August 2015, FASB issued new guidance to defer the effective date of the pronouncement to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity should apply the amendments in this update retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this update recognized at the date of initial application. The Joint Venture is currently evaluating the standard to understand the overall impact it will have on the unaudited condensed financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The objective of the update is to improve financial reporting by increasing transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments is permitted for all entities. The Joint Venture is currently evaluating the impact that this amended guidance will have on the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures.
11. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |

Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included herein presents the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations based upon the combined audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Eldorado Resorts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (ERI or the Company), Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. (Isle) acquired on May 1, 2017 (the Isle Acquisition) and Elgin Riverboat Resort-Riverboat Casino, an Illinois general partnership (Elgin) after giving effect to the acquisitions, the sale of Presque Isle Downs and Lady Luck Nemacolin (the Dispositions), the Isle Transaction (consummated May 1, 2017) (together the Combined Transactions), and the adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
The Elgin Acquisition
On April 15, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, Illinois (the Elgin Acquisition) for $327.5 million in cash, as adjusted pursuant to a customary working capital adjustment. The transaction closed on August 7, 2018 and was funded using cash from the Companys ongoing operations and borrowings under ERIs revolving credit facility. As a result of the Elgin Acquisition, Elgin became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Grand Victoria Casino Elgin is a riverboat casino located about forty miles west of Chicago, with an approximate 29,850 square feet facility consisting of approximately 1,100 slot machines and 36 table games.
The Dispositions
On February 28, 2018, ERI entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Presque Isle Downs and Lady Luck Vicksburg, subsidiaries of the Company, to Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI). Under the terms of the agreements, CDI agreed to purchase Presque Isle Downs for cash consideration of approximately $178.9 million and Lady Luck Vicksburg for cash consideration of approximately $50.6 million, in each case subject to a customary working capital adjustment.
The definitive agreements provided that the transactions were subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other customary closing conditions, including, in the case of Presque Isle Downs, the prior closing of the sale of Lady Luck Vicksburg or the entry into an agreement to acquire another asset of the Company. On May 7, 2018, the Company and CDI each received a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Materials, often referred to as a Second Request, from the Federal Trade Commission in connection with its review of the Lady Luck Vicksburg acquisition. Following receipt of, and in consideration of the time and expense needed to reply to, the Second Request, pursuant to a termination agreement and release, dated as of July 6, 2018, by and among CDI, ERI and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI, the Company and CDI mutually agreed to terminate the asset purchase agreement with respect to the Lady Luck Vicksburg transaction.
In connection with the termination of the Lady Luck Vicksburg acquisition, CDI agreed to pay the Company a $5.0 million termination fee, subject to the parties execution of a definitive agreement to acquire and assume the Companys rights and obligations to operate Lady Luck Nemacolin. On August 13, 2018, ERI entered into an agreement pursuant to which CDI will acquire Nemacolin for cash consideration of $100,000, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. Substantially concurrent with the execution of the purchase agreement for the Nemacolin Transaction, CDI paid the Company the $5.0 million termination fee related Lady Luck Vicksburg.
The Isle Acquisition
On May 1, 2017, ERI completed the Isle Acquisition for a total purchase consideration of $1.93 billion and Isle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI.
In connection with the Isle Acquisition, the Company completed a debt financing transaction comprised of: (a) a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion with a (i) term loan facility of $1.45 billion and (ii) revolving credit facility of $300.0 million and (b) $375.0 million of 6.0% senior unsecured notes.
Basis for Historical Information
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared by management for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the results of operations, balance sheet data or other financial information of ERI would have been if the Combined Transactions had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such results will be for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based on the preliminary assumptions and
information available at the time of the preparation of this report. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Combined Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of ERI. As such, the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 do not reflect non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the Combined Transactions. The Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements also do not reflect any cost savings from potential operating efficiencies or associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies that are expected to result from the Combined Transactions nor does it include any costs associated with severance, restructuring or integration activities resulting from the Combined Transactions, as they are currently not known, and, to the extent they arise, they are expected to be non-recurring and will not have been incurred at the closing date of the Combined Transactions. However, such costs could affect the combined company following the Combined Transactions in the period the costs are incurred. Further, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of the combined company following the Combined Transactions.

Note 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the pro forma effects of the following transactions:
| the Elgin Acquisition; |
| the Dispositions; and |
| the Isle Acquisition. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to transactions that are (i) directly attributable to the Combined Transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The historical information of ERI (including Isle) and Elgin is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet) as of June 30, 2018 was prepared using the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheets of ERI and Elgin as of June 30, 2018, respectively, and shows the combined financial position of ERI and Elgin as if the Elgin Acquisition and the Dispositions had occurred on June 30, 2018. The Isle Acquisition is already reflected in ERIs historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. Therefore, no pro forma balance sheet adjustments are necessary to show the pro forma impact of the Isle Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the Unaudited Pro Forma Income Statements) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, give effect to the Elgin Acquisition, the Dispositions, and the Isle Acquisition as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017 and reflect pro forma adjustments that are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations. The Isle Acquisition was consummated on May 1, 2017, and as such, is already reflected in ERIs historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the period from May 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 and historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Accordingly, the effect of the Isle Acquisition for the period January 1, 2017 to April 30, 2017 is included in ERIs unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 3(l) for additional discussion).
ERIs historical financial and operating data for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 is derived from the financial data in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and from its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The historical financial and operating data for Elgin for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 is derived from the financial data in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and from its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Note that certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Elgin to align their presentation in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements. Additionally, in May 2014 (amended January 2017), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ASC Topic 606) which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and eliminates existing industry guidance, including revenue recognition guidance specific to the gaming industry. Public entities were required to adopt ASC Topic 606 effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ERI adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, and elected to apply the full retrospective adoption method. Elgin had not adopted this standard prior to the acquisition by ERI.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, with ERI treated as the accounting acquirer of the Elgin Acquisition and the Isle Acquisition, and reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities based upon a preliminary estimate of fair values, using the assumptions set forth in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Note 2CALCULATION OF ESTIMATED PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
The total estimated purchase consideration for the purpose of this pro forma financial information is $328.9 million. The purchase consideration in the acquisition was determined with reference to its acquisition date fair value.

For pro forma purposes, the fair value of consideration given and thus the estimated purchase price was determined based upon the gross purchase of $327.5 million, and estimated working capital and other adjustments of $1.4 million. The working capital adjustment is subject to finalization within 100 days of the Elgin Acquisition date pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement; however, no material adjustments are anticipated.
Preliminary Purchase Price Accounting
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Elgin are recorded at the acquisition date fair values and added to those of ERI. The pro forma adjustments on the condensed combined balance sheet are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 30, 2018 and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Elgin Acquisition. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price accounting is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.
The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Elgin, with the excess recorded as goodwill (dollars in thousands):

b) | Represents the estimated adjustment to step up Elgins property, plant and equipment (PP&E) to a fair value of approximately $59.0 million, an increase of approximately $23.8 million from the carrying value. The fair value estimate is preliminary and subject to change. |
The fair value of land was determined using the market approach, which arrives at an indication of value by comparing the site being valued to sites that have been recently acquired in arms-length transactions. The market data is then adjusted for any significant differences, to the extent known, between the identified comparable sites and the site being valued. Building and site improvements were valued using the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. With respect to personal property components of the assets, personal property assets with an active and identifiable secondary market such as riverboats, gaming equipment, computer equipment and vehicles were valued using the market approach. Other personal property assets such as furniture, fixtures, computer software, and restaurant equipment were valued using the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset.
The cost approach is an estimation of fair value developed by computing the current cost of replacing a property and subtracting any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following factors: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence. The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for the fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use. In the instance where the business enterprise value developed via the income approach was exceeded by the initial fair values of the underlying assets, an adjustment to reflect economic obsolescence was made to the tangible assets on a pro rata basis to reflect the contributory value of each individual asset to the enterprise as a whole.
Adjustments to depreciation expense for property and equipment were based on comparing the historical depreciation recorded during the periods presented to the revised depreciation. The revised depreciation was calculated by dividing, on a straight-line basis, the fair value assigned to Elgins property and equipment by the estimated remaining useful lives assigned to the assets. The following table illustrates the pro forma adjustments to depreciation expense (dollars in thousands):

The fair value of the gaming license was determined using the excess earnings or replacement cost methodology based on whether the license resides in gaming jurisdictions where competition is limited to a specified number of licensed gaming operators. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the gaming license intangible asset, which is net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. Under the states gaming legislation, the property specific license can only be acquired if a theoretical buyer were to acquire each existing facility. The existing license could not be acquired and used for a different facility. The properties estimated future cash flows were the primary assumption in the respective valuations. Cash flow estimates included net gaming revenue, gaming operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and tax expense. The replacement cost methodology is a cost approach methodology based on replacement or reproduction cost of the gaming license as an indicator of fair value.
ERI has preliminarily assigned an indefinite useful life to the gaming licenses, in accordance with its review of the applicable guidance of ASC 350. The standard required ERI to consider, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related asset or asset group, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, ERIs own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows. In that analysis, ERI determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. The renewal of a states gaming license depends on a number of factors, including payment of certain fees and taxes, providing certain information to the states gaming regulator, and meeting certain inspection requirements. However, ERIs historical experience has not indicated, nor does ERI expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew each license. No other competitive, contractual, or economic factor limits the useful lives of this asset. Accordingly, ERI has preliminarily concluded that the useful lives of this license is indefinite.
Trademarks are valued using the relief from royalty method, which presumes that without ownership of such trademarks, ERI would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name. By virtue of this asset, ERI avoids any such payments and record the related intangible value of ERIs ownership of the brand name. The primary assumptions in the valuation included revenue, pre-tax royalty rate, and tax expense. ERI has preliminarily assigned an indefinite useful life to the trademark.
Player relationships were valued using the cost approach and the incremental cash flow method under the income approach. The incremental cash flow method is used to estimate the fair value of an intangible asset based on a residual cash flow notion. This method measures the benefits (e.g., cash flows) derived from ownership of an acquired intangible asset as if it were in place, as compared to the acquirers expected cash flows as if the intangible asset were not in place (i.e., with-and-without). The residual or net cash flows of the two models is ascribable to the intangible asset.
Adjustments to amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles were based on comparing the historical amortization recorded during the periods presented to the revised amortization. The revised amortization was based on the estimated fair value amortized over the respective useful lives of the intangible assets. The following table illustrates the pro forma adjustments to amortization expense (dollars in thousands):

f) | ERI and Elgin estimate incurring approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for a total of $0.5 million in transaction related costs, as described in Note (1) as cash payout. Such costs consist primarily of legal, financial advisor, gaming license transfer fees, accounting and consulting costs, and was shown as a pro forma adjustment reducing retained earnings. These costs are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations because they are nonrecurring items that are directly related to the acquisitions. |

The pro forma adjustments on the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the elimination of assets and liabilities of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin, the net proceeds from Presque Isle Downs for $171.2 million, inclusive of fees and working capital adjustment of $7.7 million, and the net proceeds from Nemacolin for $(0.6) million, inclusive of fees and net of working capital adjustment of $1.4 million. The estimated gain from the sale of Presque Isle Downs is approximately $23.0 million and the estimated loss from the sale of Nemacolin is approximately $3.6 million, reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings. The estimated gains and loss related to dispositions has not been reflected in the pro forma consolidated statement of operations as it is considered to be nonrecurring in nature. The pro forma adjustments on the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations reflect the elimination of historical |
revenues, expenses, and other income of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and six months ended June 30, 2018. The adjustment also reflects the estimated income tax effect of the pro-forma adjustments. The tax effect of the pro-forma adjustments was calculated using the historical statutory rates in effect for the periods presented. |
j) | Column reflects pro forma adjustments related to the terminated sale of Lady Luck Vicksburg in July 2018. The pro forma adjustments on the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the reclassification of assets and liabilities of Lady Luck Vicksburg from assets held-for-sale. |

Certain reclassifications have been recorded to the historical financial statements of Elgin to provide comparability and consistency for the anticipated post-combined company presentation.
Reclassifications were made between certain balance sheet accounts to provide consistency in presentation.
Reclassifications were made among revenue components to classify certain revenue streams consistently between the companies.
Reclassifications were also made between expense line items, such as casino, gaming taxes and other costs, as well as marketing and promotions and general and administrative. Certain reclassifications were required to remain consistent with the changes made within revenue reclassifications.
As indicated in Note 1, ERI adopted ASC Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018, and elected to apply the full retrospective adoption method. Elgin had not adopted this standard prior to the acquisition by ERI. Accordingly, reclassifications and adjustments were made to reflect the adoption of ASC Topic 606 to the historical financial statements of Elgin to provide comparability and consistency for the anticipated post-combined company presentation.
The reclassifications reflect the anticipated presentation of the post-combination companys financial statements and are subject to change.
Note 5BORROWINGS
The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements reflect the amount of estimated borrowings required to complete the Elgin Acquisition. The actual amount of available cash at closing (including cash balances related to the sale of Presque Isle Downs and Nemacolin) may vary materially from preliminary estimates. The pro forma financial statements also reflect an estimate of interest rates for the borrowings based on current market conditions and rates currently available and based on facilities with similar terms and tenors. However, the actual interest incurred may vary significantly based upon, among other things, market considerations, the amount of borrowing utilized.
A sensitivity analysis on interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 has been performed to assess the effect of a change of 12.5 basis points of the hypothetical interest rate would have on the borrowings.
The following table shows the change in interest expense for the debt financing (dollars in thousands):
