Acquisitions ACQUISITIONS
Presque Isle
On January 11, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Presque Isle located in Erie, Pennsylvania from Eldorado Resorts, Inc. ("ERI") for cash consideration of $178.9 million (the "Presque Isle Transaction") and $1.6 million of working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $8.4 million, at the date of the acquisition.

(in millions)Fair Value RecognizedWeighted-Average Useful Life

Total intangible assets$71.2 
Current assets and current liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as these items are short term in nature and represent management's estimated fair value of the respective items on January 11, 2019.
The property and equipment acquired primarily relates to land, buildings, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The fair value of the land was determined using the market approach and the fair values of the remaining property and equipment were primarily determined using the cost replacement method which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets.
The fair value of the Presque Isle gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the overall business enterprise based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a casino in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, future operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights. The renewal of the gaming rights in Pennsylvania is subject to various legal requirements. However, the Company's historical experience has not indicated, nor does the Company expect any limitations regarding the Company's ability to continue to renew our gaming rights in Pennsylvania.
The trademark intangible asset was valued using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible asset by discounting the fair value of the hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the asset. The estimated future revenue, royalty rate, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation of the trademark. The trademark was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company’s intention to keep the Presque Isle name for an indefinite period of time.
Goodwill of $26.1 million was recognized due to the expected contribution of Presque Isle to the Company's overall business strategy. The goodwill was assigned to the Gaming segment and is deductible for tax purposes.
Refer to Note 8, Asset Impairment, for information regarding intangible asset impairments recognized during the first quarter of 2020 related to the Presque Isle gaming rights and trademark.
For the period from the Presque Isle Transaction on January 11, 2019 through December 31, 2019, net revenue was $138.5 million and net income was not material.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the Company's acquisition of Presque Isle occurred as of January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results of operations that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma net income giving effect to the Presque Isle Transaction was not materially different than our historical net income.

Lady Luck Nemacolin
On March 8, 2019, the Company assumed management and acquired certain assets related to the management of Lady Luck Nemacolin in Farmington, Pennsylvania, from ERI for cash consideration of $100,000 (the "Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction"). The Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction did not meet the definition of a business and therefore was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The net assets acquired in conjunction with the Lady Luck Nemacolin Transaction were not material.
Turfway Park
On October 9, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Turfway Park from Jack Entertainment LLC ("JACK") and Hard Rock International (“Hard Rock”) for total consideration of $46.0 million in cash ("Turfway Park Acquisition"). Of the $46.0 million total consideration, $36.0 million, less $0.9 million of working capital and purchase price adjustments, was accounted for as a business combination. The remaining $10.0 million was paid to Hard Rock for the assignment of the purchase and sale agreement rights and was accounted for separately from the business combination as an intangible asset and was amortized through expense in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The cash purchase price paid to JACK was $36.0 million, less $0.9 million of working capital and purchase price adjustments. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of cash acquired of $0.6 million, at the date of acquisition were as follows: property and equipment (primarily land) of $18.8 million, indefinite-lived gaming rights of $9.8 million, indefinite-lived trademark of $5.5 million, goodwill of $2.7 million, and current liabilities of $2.3 million.
Ocean Downs
On July 16, 2018, the Company announced the entry into a tax-efficient partial liquidation agreement (the "Liquidation Agreement") for the remaining 50% ownership of the Casino at Ocean Downs and Ocean Downs Racetrack located in Berlin, Maryland ("Ocean Downs") owned by Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC ("SCH") in exchange for the Company's 25% equity interest in SCH, which is the parent company of Saratoga Casino Hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York ("Saratoga New York") and Saratoga Casino Black Hawk in Black Hawk, Colorado ("Saratoga Colorado") (collectively, the "Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction"). On August 31, 2018, the Company closed the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, which resulted in the Company owning 100% of Ocean Downs and having no further equity interest or management involvement in Saratoga New York or Saratoga Colorado.
As part of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, Saratoga Harness Racing, Inc. ("SHRI") has agreed to grant the Company and our affiliates exclusive rights to operate online sports betting and iGaming on behalf of SHRI in New York and Colorado for a period of fifteen years from the date of the Liquidation Agreement, should such states permit SHRI to engage in sports betting and iGaming, subject to payment of commercially reasonable royalties to SHRI.
We consolidated Ocean Downs upon closing of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction on August 31, 2018. Prior to the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, the Company held an effective 62.5% ownership interest in Ocean Downs, and a 25% ownership interest in Saratoga New York and Saratoga Colorado, all of which were accounted for under the equity method. The consideration transferred to SCH to acquire the remaining interest in Ocean Downs was the Company's equity investments in Saratoga New York and Saratoga Colorado, which had an aggregate fair value of $47.8 million at the acquisition date. Under the acquisition method, the fair values of the consideration transferred and the Company's equity method investment in Ocean Downs, which had a fair value of $80.5 million at the acquisition date, were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. The Company's carrying values in these equity method investments were significantly less than their fair values, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $54.9 million, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. The fair values of the Company's equity method investments in Ocean Downs, Saratoga New York, and Saratoga Colorado were determined under the market and income valuation approaches using inputs primarily related to discounted projected cash flows and price multiples of publicly traded comparable companies.

Current assets and current liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values due to their short-term nature and represent management's estimated fair value of the respective items on August 31, 2018. The debt of $54.7 million assumed by the Company was valued at the Company's outstanding principal balance, which approximated fair value on August 31, 2018. The Company subsequently paid off the debt in full on September 4, 2018.
The property and equipment acquired primarily relates to land, buildings, equipment, and furniture and fixtures. The fair values of the property and equipment were primarily determined using the cost replacement method, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the assets.
The fair value of the Ocean Downs gaming rights was determined using the Greenfield method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the overall business enterprise based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a casino in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue and operating expenses and start-up costs of Ocean Downs were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights. The renewal of the gaming rights in Maryland is subject to various legal requirements. However, the Company's historical experience has not indicated, nor does the Company expect any limitations regarding the Company's ability to continue to renew the Company's gaming rights in Maryland.
The trademark intangible asset was valued using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the intangible asset by discounting the fair value of the hypothetical royalty payments a market participant would be willing to pay to enjoy the benefits of the asset. The trademark was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company’s intention to keep the Ocean Downs name for an indefinite period of time.
Goodwill of $20.4 million was recognized due to the expected contribution of Ocean Downs to the Company's overall business strategy. The goodwill was assigned to the Gaming segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability and income tax expense of $12.6 million. The deferred tax liability represents the excess of the financial reporting amounts of the net assets of Ocean Downs over their respective basis under federal, state, and local tax law expected to be applied to taxable income in the periods such differences are expected to be realized. After the closing of the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction, for the period from September 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, net revenue for Ocean Downs was $25.9 million, and net income was not material.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information for the Company has been prepared assuming the Company's acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Ocean Downs occurred as of January 1, 2018 and excludes the gain recognized from the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results of operations that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma net income giving effect to the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction was not materially different than our historical net income.
