Acquisitions	5. Acquisitions In September 2013, the Company entered into an option and purchase agreement to purchase Plainridge Racecourse in Massachusetts with the sellers having no involvement in the business or operations from that date forward. The Company subsequently began to operate Plainridge Racecourse effective January 1, 2014 pursuant to a temporary operations agreement. On February 28, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission awarded the Company a Category Two slots-only gaming license, and in early March 2014, the Company exercised its option to purchase the Plainridge Racecourse. This acquisition reflects the continuing efforts of the Company to expand its gaming operations through the development of new gaming properties. The fixed portion of the purchase price was paid on April 11, 2014. The option and purchase agreement also contained contingent purchase price consideration that is calculated based on the projected earnings of the gaming operations over the first ten years of operations. Based on the option and purchase agreement, the first payment will be made 60 days after the completion of the first four full fiscal quarters of operation, and every year for ten years after the first payment. The fair value of this liability was determined to be $18.5 million based on an income approach from the Company’s internal earning projections and was discounted at a rate consistent with the risk a third party market participant would require holding the identical instrument as an asset. This liability is included in long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014. At each reporting period, the Company will assess the fair value of this obligation and changes in its value will be recorded in earnings. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in an increase in land and buildings of $57.9 million and $3.0 million of goodwill. Plainridge Park Casino is anticipated to be a $225 million (inclusive of licensing fees) fully integrated racing and gaming facility featuring live harness racing and simulcasting with 1,250 slot machines, various dining options, structured and surface parking, a 26,000 square foot grandstand, and a 13,000 square foot clubhouse. On March 14, 2014, the Company broke ground on the facility, and on March 28, 2014, paid the $25 million gaming license fee associated with the facility which was recorded in other intangible assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
