Summarized Quarterly Data (Unaudited)
On March 12, 2019, the Company's management concluded that its previously filed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 (“Restated Quarters”) should no longer be relied upon. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reviewed certain technical accounting guidance during its year-end review process related to the accounting for stock granted and an associated guaranty obligation with MHHA in February 2018. Based on this review, the Company concluded that the previously recorded accounting treatment recorded in the first quarter of 2018 was not appropriate. As a result, the Company determined that the previously issued quarterly financial statements for the quarterly periods ending March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2018 should be restated to properly reflect the accounting for this transaction for these periods. On November 1, 2014, MRMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Empire and the MHHA entered into an agreement that governs the conduct of MRMI and MHHA relating to horseracing purse payments, the simulcasting of horse races and certain other payments (the "2014 MHHA Agreement"). Pursuant to the 2014 MHHA Agreement and that certain Securities Acquisition Agreement, dated March 3, 2014, between Empire and MHHA (the “MHHA SAA”), on March 16, 2018, Empire issued to MHHA 200,000 shares of common stock (the "MHHA Shares"), and on March 15, 2018, Empire issued to MHHA a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at $81.50 per share (the “MHHA Warrants”). The funds generated from the sale of the MHHA Shares or the sale of any shares acquired by MHHA upon the exercise of the MHHA Warrants will be deposited into a purse account for the benefit of MHHA and its members. If, on February 8, 2025, the value of any MHHA Shares previously sold by MHHA and the fair market value of any MHHA Shares not sold by MHHA by February 8, 2025 is less than $5.5 million, then the Company agreed to deposit into the special purse account an amount equal to the difference between $5.5 million and the value of the shares of common stock sold by MHHA and not sold by MHHA. Upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in the 2014 MHHA Agreement and the MHHA SPA, the Company issued the MHHA Shares and the MHHA Warrants on March 16, 2018 and March 15, 2018, respectively. On the date of issuance, the Company determined that the MHHA Shares had a fair value of $4.7 million, which had been recorded as a long-term asset, net of $1.4 million which was previously expensed through March 2018. In preparing its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, the Audit Committee and management of the Company determined that based on further review of applicable technical accounting literature, the value of the MHHA Shares should be recognized as an expense upon issuance and the associated fair value of the guaranty liability of $5.5 million should be recognized as a liability-classified guaranty. The restatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the Restated Quarters is set forth below in the tabular presentation. The effect of the restatement to relevant financial line items included on the previously issued unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018 was as follows:
