EXPLANATORY NOTE

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”), the terms “we”, “our”, the “Company” and “Penn” refer to Penn National Gaming, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 22, 2015, the Company is restating its unaudited financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company originally concluded that its Master Lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) should be accounted for as an operating lease under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This accounting treatment was applied in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were accompanied by unqualified opinions of Ernst & Young, LLP (“EY”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Upon the Company’s recent reconsideration of that accounting treatment, the Company re-examined this accounting and the relevant accounting literature. The restatement primarily results from the Company’s accounting for its November 1, 2013 spin-off of real estate assets to GLPI and entrance into the Master Lease, which was previously recognized as a sale-leaseback. As explained in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this report, the Company did not meet all of the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, “Leases”, and therefore the transaction should be accounted for as a failed spin-off-leaseback which resulted in the transaction being recorded as a financing obligation rather than a distribution of assets followed by an operating lease. As a result, the Company is precluded from derecognizing the real estate assets and is instead required to recognize a financing obligation. The restated condensed consolidated balance sheets therefore include an adjustment to property and equipment, net for the carrying value of the real property leased from GLPI of $2.02 billion and $2.04 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and additional liabilities of $3.60 billion and $3.61 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, representing the present value of the future minimum lease payments due to GLPI under the Master Lease and the funded construction of certain leased real estate assets in development at the date of the spin-off. Consequently, the restated condensed consolidated statements of operations no longer report rent expense for the obligations under the Master Lease, but rather include interest expense associated with the financing obligation and depreciation expense related to the real estate assets, along with the periodic reduction of the financing obligation reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease payment amounts previously recorded as rent expense were $108.8 million and $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increases to interest expense and depreciation expense as a result of this restatement are $96.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and $93.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Additionally, this change in accounting treatment resulted in adjustments to the carrying amounts of the Company’s reporting units as well as differences in the allocation of the Company’s GLPI financing obligation to the impacted reporting units, which changed each reporting unit’s fair value. This resulted in a net decrease to the Company’s previously recognized impairment charges related to goodwill and indefinite-lived gaming licenses for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company has also included in the restated condensed consolidated financial statements corrections of additional errors related to the accounting classification for payments made to relocate certain gaming operations in Ohio which opened in 2014, classification of an operating lease to a capital lease which resulted in an increase of $6.5 million and $7.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 to net property and equipment and an increase to long term debt of $24.9 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as well as certain other miscellaneous items described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. Finally, the Company concluded that as a result of the failed spin-off-leaseback accounting treatment which resulted in a significant increase to our net deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance should be recorded on our net deferred tax assets given the significant negative evidence associated with being in a three year cumulative pre-tax loss position and the insufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence to support the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 6, 2015 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to reflect the restatement of (i) the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and (ii) the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the notes related thereto. For a more detailed description of these restatements see Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q/A.

Notably, the adjustments in the Restatement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s leverage ratios under its senior credit facility and other debt instruments (as the terms of those obligations require the Master Lease to be treated as an operating lease regardless of the treatment required under GAAP) had no, and will have no future impact on the following indicators of the Company’s performance:

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized an increase to the financing obligation and real property assets of $25.6 million related to real estate construction costs that were funded by Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. for the Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course facilities. In conjunction with exercising its option to purchase Plainridge Racecourse in March 2014, the Company increased its acquired assets, other current liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities by $60.5 million, $42.0 million, and $18.5 million, respectively. The fixed portion of the purchase price was paid on April 11, 2014 in cash.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) and together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a diversified, multi-jurisdictional owner and manager of gaming and pari-mutuel properties. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned, managed, or had ownership interests in twenty-six facilities in the following seventeen jurisdictions: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia and Ontario, Canada.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penn and its subsidiaries. Investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, that do not meet the consolidation criteria of the authoritative guidance for voting interest, controlling interest or variable interest entities (“VIE”), are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 should be read in conjunction with these condensed consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2014 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

2. Restatement

The restatement of the Company’s financial statements primarily results from the Company’s accounting for its November 1, 2013 distribution of real estate assets to Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (GLPI) under the Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease”), which was previously recognized as a sale-leaseback. Upon further consideration, the Company did not meet all of the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, “Leases”, and therefore the transaction should be accounted for as a financing obligation rather than a distribution of assets followed by an operating lease. Specifically, the lease contains provisions that would indicate that the Company has prohibited forms of continuing involvement in the leased property such that sale-leaseback accounting would not be permitted. As a result, the Company is precluded from derecognizing the real estate assets and is instead required to recognize a financing obligation for the minimum lease payments due under the Master Lease. The restated condensed consolidated balance sheets therefore include an adjustment to property and equipment, net for the carrying value of the real property of $2.02 billion and $2.04 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and additional liabilities of $3.60 billion and $3.61 billion at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, representing the present value of the future minimum lease payments due to GLPI under the Master Lease and the funded construction of certain leased real assets in development at the date of the Spin-Off. Consequently, the condensed restated consolidated statements of operations no longer report rent expense for the obligations under the Master Lease, but rather include interest expense associated with the financing obligation and depreciation expense related to the real estate assets. The lease payment amounts previously recorded as rent expense were $108.8 million and $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increases to interest expense and depreciation expense as a result of the correction of the accounting for the Master Lease are $96.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and $93.1 million and $22.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

This change in accounting treatment also resulted in adjustments to the carrying values of the Company’s reporting units as well as differences in the allocation of the GLPI rental obligation to the impacted reporting units, which altered each reporting unit’s fair value.

As part of its restatement, the Company also identified certain other errors affecting the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

· The Company had originally recorded goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $312.5 million and $745.9 million at October 1, 2013, the date of its annual impairment test, and November 1, 2013 (the Spin-Off date), respectively, and impairment charges of $316.5 million at October 1, 2014. The Company corrected certain errors in its goodwill and indefinite-lived gaming license intangible asset impairment analyses which incorporated the adjustments to the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units mentioned above as well as the impact of its deferred tax valuation allowance. This resulted in a decrease to the Company’s previously recognized impairment charges of $161.2 million and $334.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which along with the relocation fee accounting error described below, resulted in a significant increase to the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

· During 2014, the Company incurred an aggregate liability of $150 million to the State of Ohio in return for the right to locate its racing operations from Toledo, Ohio to Dayton, Ohio (Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway) and from Grove City, Ohio to Austintown, Ohio (Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley). The Company originally accounted for these amounts as a cost of the real estate and was therefore including them in property and equipment, net and was amortizing them over the fifteen year base lease term of the Master Lease. The Company has now concluded that these costs should have been recognized as an additional cost incurred for obtaining the gaming licenses for these two properties and capitalized as other intangible assets that are not amortized, but are considered for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. This resulted in a decrease to depreciation expense of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

· The Company corrected the classification of a corporate airplane lease that had previously been accounted for as an operating lease but upon review should have been accounted for as a capital lease. This resulted in an increase to net property and equipment of $6.5 million and $7.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, as well as an increase to long term debt of $24.9 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. It also resulted in an increase to interest expense, with an offsetting decrease to general and administrative costs of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 as well as an increase to depreciation expense of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

· The Company concluded that as a result of the failed spin-off-leaseback accounting treatment which resulted in a significant increase to our deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance should be recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets given the significant negative evidence associated with being in a three year cumulative pre-tax loss position and the insufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence to support the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets. This resulted in an increase to the Company’s income tax provision of $5.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

· The Company concluded that the Carlino exchange transaction should have been accounted for as a treasury stock transaction that is measured using the fair value of the exchanged instruments. See Note 3 in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for additional information.

· The Company reclassified a contingent earn-out liability from long-term debt to other non-current liabilities which totaled $19.5 million and $19.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Additionally, changes in the fair value of this liability which totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, were reclassified from interest expense to general and administrative expenses.

· The Company corrected the income tax provision and related income tax balances on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the previously identified errors.

· The Company corrected certain other errors that were not individually material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q/A have been restated to reflect the adjustments described above. The following is a summary of the effect of the restatement on (i) the Company’s condensed consolidated balance

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

Gaming revenue consists mainly of slot and video lottery gaming machine revenue as well as to a lesser extent table game and poker revenue. Gaming revenue is the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs, for “ticket-in, ticket-out” coupons in the customers’ possession, and for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Progressive slot machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of coins played, are charged to revenue as the amount of the jackpots increases. Table game revenue is the aggregate of table drop adjusted for the change in aggregate table chip inventory. Table drop is the total dollar amount of the currency, coins, chips, tokens and outstanding markers (credit instruments) that are removed from the live gaming tables.

Food, beverage and other revenue, including racing revenue, is recognized as services are performed. Racing revenue includes the Company’s share of pari-mutuel wagering on live races after payment of amounts returned as winning wagers, its share of wagering from import and export simulcasting, and its share of wagering from its off-track wagering facilities.

Revenue from the management service contract for Casino Rama is based upon contracted terms and is recognized when services are performed.

Revenues are recognized net of certain sales incentives in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-50, “Revenue Recognition—Customer Payments and Incentives.” The Company records certain sales incentives and points earned in point-loyalty programs as a reduction of revenue.

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as promotional allowances. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily included in food, beverage and other expense.

The amounts included in promotional allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Rooms	$	8,336	$	8,071
Food and beverage	27,448		26,598
Other	2,104		2,262
Total promotional allowances	$	37,888	$	36,931

The estimated cost of providing such complimentary services for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015		2014
	(in thousands)
Rooms	$	936	$	872
Food and beverage	10,833		10,975
Other	832		843
Total cost of complimentary services	$	12,601	$	12,690

Gaming and Racing Taxes

The Company is subject to gaming and pari-mutuel taxes based on gross gaming revenue and pari-mutuel revenue in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company primarily recognizes gaming and pari-mutuel tax expense based on the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid to state and local jurisdictions in the states where or in which wagering occurs. In certain states in which the Company operates, gaming taxes are based on graduated rates. The Company records gaming tax expense at the Company’s estimated effective gaming tax rate for the year, considering estimated taxable gaming revenue and the applicable rates. Such estimates are adjusted each interim period. If gaming tax rates change during the year, such changes are applied

prospectively in the determination of gaming tax expense in future interim periods. Finally, the Company recognizes purse expense based on the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid out in the form of purses to the winning owners of horse races run at the Company’s racetracks in the period in which wagering occurs. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, these expenses, which are recorded primarily within gaming expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income, were $227.0 million, as compared to $216.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Company’s spin-off of real property assets and corresponding Master Lease Agreement with GLPI on November 1, 2013 did not meet all of the requirements for sale-leaseback accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840 “Leases” and therefore is accounted for as a financing obligation rather than a distribution of assets followed by an operating lease. Specifically, the Master Lease contains provisions that would indicate the Company has prohibited forms of continuing involvement in the leased assets which are not a normal leaseback. As a result of the failed spin-off-leaseback accounting, the Company calculated a financing obligation at the inception of the Master Lease based on the future minimum lease payments discounted at 9.70%. The discount rate represents the estimated incremental borrowing rate over the lease term of 35 years, which included renewal options that were reasonably assured of being exercised given the high percentage of the Company’s earnings that are derived from the Master Lease properties operations to the Company and the lack of alternative economically feasible leasing options for such real estate. The minimum lease payments are recorded as interest expense and in part as a payment of principal reducing the financing obligation. Contingent rentals are recorded as additional interest expense. The real property assets in the transaction remain on the consolidated balance sheets and continue to be depreciated over the remaining useful lives.

Payments related to the Master Lease

As of March 31, 2015, the Company financed with GLPI real property assets associated with eighteen of the Company’s gaming and related facilities used in the Company’s operations.

The rent structure under the Master Lease, which became effective November 1, 2013, includes a fixed component, a portion of which is subject to an annual escalator of up to 2% if certain rent coverage ratio thresholds are met, and a variable component that is based on the performance of the facilities, which is prospectively adjusted, subject to a floor of zero (i) every five years by an amount equal to 4% of the average change to net revenues of all facilities under the Master Lease (other than Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo) during the preceding five years, and (ii) monthly by an amount equal to 20% of the change in net revenues of Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo during the preceding month. In addition, with the openings of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway in the third quarter of 2014, these properties began paying rent subject to the terms of the Master Lease, for which the rental obligation is calculated as ten percent of the real estate construction costs paid for by GLPI related to these facilities.

The Master Lease is commonly known as a triple-net lease. Accordingly, in addition to rent, the Company is required to pay the following, among other things: (1) all facility maintenance; (2) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties; (3) taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor); and (4) all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties. At the Company’s option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four five-year renewal terms beyond the initial fifteen-year term, on the same terms and conditions.

Total payments under the Master Lease were $108.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Long-term asset related to the Jamul Tribe

On April 5, 2013, the Company announced that, subject to final National Indian Gaming Commission approval, it and the Jamul Indian Village of California (the “Jamul Tribe”) had entered into definitive agreements to jointly develop a Hollywood Casino-branded casino on the Jamul Tribe’s trust land in San Diego County, California. The definitive agreements were entered into to: (i) secure the development, management, and branding services of the Company to assist the Jamul Tribe during the pre-development and entitlement phase of the project; (ii) set forth the terms and conditions under which the Company will provide a loan or loans to the Jamul Tribe to fund certain development costs; and (iii) create an exclusive arrangement between the parties.

The Jamul Tribe is a federally recognized Indian Tribe holding a government-to-government relationship with the U.S. through the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs and possessing certain inherent powers of self-government. The Jamul Tribe is the beneficial owner of approximately six acres of reservation land located within the exterior boundaries of the State of California held by the U.S. in trust for the Jamul Tribe (the “Property”). The Jamul Tribe exercises jurisdiction over the

Table of Contents

Property pursuant to its powers of self-government and consistent with the resolutions and ordinances of the Jamul Tribe. The arrangement between the Jamul Tribe and the Company provides the Jamul Tribe with the expertise, knowledge and capacity of a proven developer and operator of gaming facilities and provides the Company with the exclusive right to administer and oversee planning, designing, development, construction management, and coordination during the development and construction of the project as well as the management of a gaming facility on the Property.

The proposed $360 million development project will include a three-story gaming and entertainment facility of approximately 200,000 square feet featuring over 1,700 slot machines, 43 live table games, including poker, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges and a partially enclosed parking structure with over 1,800 spaces. In mid-January 2014, the Company announced the commencement of construction activities at the site and it is anticipated that the facility will open in mid-2016. The Company may, under certain circumstances, provide backstop financing to the Jamul Tribe in connection with the project and, upon opening, will manage and provide branding for the casino. The Company has a conditional loan commitment to the Jamul Tribe (that can be terminated under certain circumstances) for up to $400 million and anticipates it will fund approximately $360 million related to this development.

The Company is accounting for the development agreement and related loan commitment letter with the Jamul Tribe as a loan (note receivable) with accrued interest in accordance with ASC 310 “Receivables.” The loan represents advances made by the Company to the Jamul Tribe for the development and construction of a gaming facility for the Jamul Tribe on reservation land. As such, the Jamul Tribe will own the casino and its related assets and liabilities. San Diego Gaming Ventures, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) is a separate legal entity established to account for the loan and, upon completion of the project and subsequent commencement of gaming operations on the Property, will be the Penn entity which receives management and branding fees from the Jamul Tribe. The Company has a note receivable with the Jamul Tribe for $86.4 million and $62.0 million, which includes accrued interest of $5.0 million and $3.3 million, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Collectability of the note receivable will be derived from the revenues of the casino operations once the project is completed. Based on the Company’s current progress with this project, the Company believes collectability of the note is highly certain. However, in the event that the Company’s internal projections related to the profitability of this project and/or the timing of the opening are inaccurate, the Company may be required to record a reserve related to the collectability of this note receivable.

The Company considered whether the arrangement with the Jamul Tribe represents a variable interest that should be accounted for pursuant to the VIE Subsections of ASC 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). The Company noted that the scope and scope exceptions of ASC 810-10-15-12(e) states that a reporting entity shall not consolidate a government organization or financing entity established by a government organization (other than certain financing entities established to circumvent the provisions of the VIE Subsections of ASC 810). Based on the status of the Jamul Tribe as a government organization, the Company believes its arrangement with the Jamul Tribe is not within the scope defined by ASC 810.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”). Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the additional dilution for all potentially-dilutive securities such as stock options and unvested restricted shares.

At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had outstanding 8,624 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company determined that the preferred stock qualified as a participating security as defined in ASC 260 since these securities participate in dividends with the Company’s common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, a company is required to use the two-class method when computing EPS when a company has a security that qualifies as a “participating security.” The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. A participating security is included in the computation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method.

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 under the two-class method:

Options to purchase 1,561,562 shares and 392,289 shares were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they were antidilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant.

The fair value for stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires management to make certain assumptions. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury spot rate with a term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Expected volatility was estimated based on the historical volatility of the

Table of Contents

Company’s stock price over a period of 5.45 years, in order to match the expected life of the options at the grant date. Historically, at the grant date, there has been no expected dividend yield assumption since the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since its initial public offering in May 1994 and since the Company intends to retain all of its earnings to finance the development of its business for the foreseeable future. The weighted-average expected life was based on the contractual term of the stock option and expected employee exercise dates, which was based on the historical and expected exercise behavior of the Company’s employees. The Company granted 1,662,035 stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2.1 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and is included within the condensed consolidated statements of income under general and administrative expense.

The Company’s cash-settled phantom stock unit awards (“PSUs”), which vest over a period of three to five years, entitle employees and directors to receive cash based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. The PSUs are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period until they become vested with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period in accordance with ASC 718-30, “Compensation—Stock Compensation, Awards Classified as Liabilities.” The Company had a liability, which is included in accrued salaries and wages within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, associated with its PSUs of $7.0 million and $8.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For PSUs held by Penn employees, there was $26.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost at March 31, 2015 that will be recognized over the grants remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.30 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $4.5 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the stock price increase year-over-year for both Penn and GLPI awards held by Penn employees. Amounts paid by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 on these cash-settled awards totaled $5.2 million, as compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For the Company’s stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), the fair value of the SARs is calculated during each reporting period and estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the various inputs discussed below. The Company’s SARs, which vest over a period of four years, are accounted for as liability awards since they will be settled in cash. The Company had a liability, which is included in accrued salaries and wages within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, associated with its SARs of $9.1 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For SARs held by Penn employees, there was $8.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost at March 31, 2015 that will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.92 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized $4.6 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the stock price increase year-over-year for both Penn and GLPI awards held by Penn employees. Amounts paid by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 on these cash-settled awards totaled $1.8 million, as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The following are the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	2015		2014

Risk-free interest rate	1.54	%	1.68	%
Expected volatility	36.93	%	44.80	%

Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, as that term is defined in ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), measures and assesses the Company’s business performance based on regional operations of various properties grouped together based primarily on their geographic locations. The Company’s reportable segments are: (i) East/Midwest, (ii) West, and (iii) Southern Plains.

The East/Midwest reportable segment consists of the following properties: Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, Hollywood Casino Bangor, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, Hollywood Casino Toledo, Hollywood Casino Columbus, Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, which opened on August 28, 2014, and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, which opened on September 17, 2014. It also includes the Company’s Casino Rama management service contract and Plainridge Park Casino in Massachusetts which the Company expects to open on June 24, 2015.

Table of Contents

The West reportable segment consists of the following properties: Zia Park Casino and the M Resort, as well as the Jamul Indian Village project, which the Company anticipates completing in mid-2016.

The Southern Plains reportable segment consists of the following properties: Hollywood Casino Aurora, Hollywood Casino Joliet, Argosy Casino Alton, Argosy Casino Riverside, Hollywood Casino Tunica, Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast, Boomtown Biloxi, and Hollywood Casino St. Louis, and includes the Company’s 50% investment in Kansas Entertainment, LLC (“Kansas Entertainment”), which owns the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway.

If the Company is successful in obtaining gaming operations at these locations, they would be assigned to one of the Company’s regional executives and reported in their respective reportable segment. The Other category also includes the Company’s corporate overhead operations which does not meet the definition of an operating segment under ASC 280.

See Note 9 for further information with respect to the Company’s segments.

Other Comprehensive Income

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements. The Company presents comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.

4. New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued revised guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet. The revised guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the existing presentation of debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this revised guidance, and therefore there is no impact to the statement of income. The revised guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of this revised guidance is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. An entity should apply the revised guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the revised guidance. The Company has elected to early adopt the revised guidance and as such debt issuance costs are now presented as a direct reduction of long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for further information regarding debt issuance costs.

In February 2015, the FASB issued new consolidation guidance to modify the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The main provisions of the new guidance include modifying the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, the evaluation of fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest, and the effect of fee arrangements and related parties on the primary beneficiary determination, as well as provides a scope exception for certain investment funds. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. A reporting entity may apply the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the new guidance retrospectively. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the new guidance on existing consolidation conclusions and equity method investments, but does not anticipate any change.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance, which will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers 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. To achieve the core principle, the new guidance implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This new guidance was originally to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and early adoption is prohibited. In April 2015, the FASB issued a one-year deferral of the effective date of this new guidance resulting in it now being effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. Entities can transition to the new guidance either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect

adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the impact the new revenue recognition guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Property and equipment, net increased by $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to the City of Lawrenceburg’s conveyance of a hotel and event center near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg (see Note 6 for further detail) and construction costs for the development of Plainridge Park Casino as well as normal capital maintenance expenditures, all of which were partially offset by depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Depreciation expense, for property and equipment as well as capital leases, totaled $63.4 million and $64.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively, of which $23.2 million, $22.3 million related to assets under the Master Lease, respectively. Interest capitalized in connection with major construction projects was $0.6 million, $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

6. Long-term Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The senior secured credit facility consists of a five year $500 million revolver, a five year $500 million Term Loan A facility, and a seven year $250 million Term Loan B facility. At March 31, 2015, the Company’s senior secured credit facility had a gross outstanding balance of $830.6 million, consisting of a $468.7 million Term Loan A facility, a $246.9 million Term Loan B facility, and $115.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Additionally, at March 31, 2015, the Company was contingently obligated under letters of credit issued pursuant to the senior secured credit facility with face amounts aggregating $22.7 million, resulting in $362.3 million of available borrowing capacity as of March 31, 2015 under the revolving credit facility.

Other Long Term Obligations

Other long term obligations at March 31, 2015 of $150.3 million included $135.0 million related to the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, and $15.3 million related to the repayment obligation of a hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg; all of which are more fully described below.

Ohio Relocation Fees

In June 2013, the Company finalized the terms of its memorandum of understanding with the State of Ohio, which included an agreement by the Company to pay a relocation fee in return for being able to relocate its existing racetracks in Toledo and Grove City to Dayton and Austintown, respectively. Upon opening of these two racinos in Ohio in the third quarter of 2014, the relocation fee for each new racino was recorded at the present value of the contractual obligation, which was calculated to be $75 million based on the 5% discount rate included in the agreement. The relocation fee for each facility is payable as follows: $7.5 million upon the opening of the facility and eighteen semi-annual payments of $4.8 million beginning one year from the commencement of operations. These obligations are accreted to interest expense at an effective yield of 5.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to these obligations was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Event Center

Table of Contents

obligation for the hotel and event center was assumed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in the amount of $15.3 million, which was financed through a loan with the City of Lawrenceburg Department of Redevelopment. The Company is obligated to make annual payments on the loan of approximately $1 million for twenty years beginning January 2016. This obligation is accreted to interest expense at its effective yield of 3.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Capital Leases

Capital leases are primarily comprised of a ten year corporate airplane lease that expires in August 2016, which has a ten year renewal option. The lease obligation has been recorded at the lessor’s initial cost of the plane, which totaled $24.9 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, since the agreement has broad based default provisions that could result in potential damages equal to this amount. The lease obligation was classified as a capital lease based on the provisions of ASC 840 “Leases” which requires that the remedies for events of default under the provision described in this scenario be included in the minimum lease payment calculation for purposes of lease classification and that the probability of such an event of default will occur is not relevant to this determination.

Debt Issuance Costs

As discussed in Note 4, the Company elected to early adopt accounting guidance issued in April 2015 to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. This change in accounting principle was implemented retrospectively as of March 31, 2015 and had the effect of lowering other assets and long-term debt by $23.7 million and $25.2 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Debt issuance costs that are incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the underlying indebtedness.

Covenants

The Company’s senior secured credit facility and $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes require it, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests, including fixed charge coverage, interest coverage, senior leverage and total leverage ratios. In addition, the Company’s senior secured credit facility and $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes restrict, among other things, its ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities.

At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The Company has received a waiver through March 15, 2016, from its lenders under its senior secured credit facility to file its financial statements with the SEC through the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, starting on February 8, 2016, the Company is required to pay an additional 25 basis points annually under its $300 million senior unsecured notes until the Company becomes current with its SEC filings.

7. Master Lease Financing Obligation (Restatement)

The Company’s Master Lease with GLPI is accounted for as a financing obligation. The obligation was calculated at the inception of the transaction based on the future minimum lease payments due to GLPI under the Master Lease discounted at 9.70%, which represents the estimated incremental borrowing rate over the lease term, including renewal options that were reasonably assured of being exercised and the funded construction of certain leased real estate assets in development at the date of the Spin-Off. Total payments under the Master Lease were $108.8 million and $104.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of which $96.4 million and $93.1 million, respectively, were recognized as interest expense. The interest expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes $10.7 million and $10.2 million from contingent payments associated with the monthly variable components for Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo, respectively and $0.8 million from contingent payments associated with the annual escalator during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.

(1) Includes depreciation expense associated with the real property assets under the Master Lease with GLPI. In addition, Total assets include these assets. The interest expense associated with the financing obligation is reflected in the other category. Net revenues and income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates relate to the Company’s stand-alone racing operations, namely Rosecroft Raceway, Sanford Orlando Kennel Club and the Company’s Texas and New Jersey joint ventures which do not have gaming operations.

Table of Contents

Management uses adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of its segments, including the evaluation of operating personnel and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long lived casino projects because they provide a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial non-operational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, stock compensation, debt extinguishment charges, impairment charges, insurance recoveries and deductible charges, depreciation and amortization, changes in the estimated fair value of contingent purchase price to the previous owners of Plainridge Racecourse, gain or loss on disposal of assets, and other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is also inclusive of results from discontinued operations, income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as depreciation and amortization) added back for our joint venture in Kansas Entertainment. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to operating income, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA.

10. Income Taxes

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had a net deferred tax liability balance of $56.4 million and $38.3 million, respectively, within its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and are measured at the prevailing enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences are settled or realized. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that as a result of the failed spin-off-leaseback accounting treatment which resulted in a significant increase to its deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance should be recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets given the significant negative evidence associated with being in or expecting to be in a three year cumulative pre-tax loss position and the insufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence to support the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2015, we have a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets as a result of the negative objective evidence of being in a three year cumulative loss. This resulted in an increase to the Company’s income tax provision of $5.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company calculates the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) to the full year projected pretax book income or loss excluding certain discrete items. The Company’s ETR (income taxes as a percentage of income from operations before income taxes) was 84.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to 77.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the year-over-year increase to our federal and state valuation allowance that had an unfavorable impact to our ETR.

11. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

· Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate:

Table of Contents

Cash and cash equivalents

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents.

Long-term debt

The fair value of the Company’s Term Loan A and B components of its senior secured credit facility and senior unsecured notes is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and as such is a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the remainder of the Company’s senior secured credit facility approximates its carrying value as it is revolving, variable rate debt and as such is a Level 2 measurement.

Other long term obligations at March 31, 2015, included the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course and the repayment obligation of a hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. The fair value of the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course approximates its carrying value as the discount rate of 5.0% approximates the market rate of similar debt instruments and as such is a Level 2 measurement. Finally, the fair value of the repayment obligation for the hotel and event center is estimated based on a rate consistent with comparable municipal bonds and as such is a Level 2 measurement. See Note 6 for further details regarding the Company’s other long term obligations.

Other liabilities

Other liabilities at March 31, 2015 included the contingent purchase price consideration related to the purchase of Plainridge Racecourse. The fair value of the Company’s contingent purchase price consideration related to its Plainridge Racecourse acquisition is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model and as such is a Level 3 measurement. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the fair value of this obligation and changes in its value are recorded in earnings. The amount included in general and administrative expense related to the change in fair value of this obligation was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2015
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this form 10-Q/A, the Company restated its financial statements for the interim periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. The impact of the restatement is reflected in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below.

Our Operations

We are a leading, diversified, multi-jurisdictional owner and manager of gaming and pari-mutuel properties. As of March 31, 2015, we owned, managed, or had ownership interests in twenty-six facilities in the following seventeen jurisdictions: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and Ontario, Canada. We believe that our portfolio of assets provides us the benefit of geographically diversified cash flow from operations.

In 1997, we began our transition from a pari-mutuel company to a diversified gaming company with the acquisition of the Charles Town property and the introduction of video lottery terminals in West Virginia. Since 1997, we have continued to expand our gaming operations through strategic acquisitions, greenfield projects, and property expansions. We are nearing completion of our Plainridge Park Casino, an integrated racing and slots-only gaming facility in Plainville, Massachusetts, which we expect to open on June 24, 2015, as well as the Jamul Indian Village project near San Diego, California, which we anticipate completing in mid-2016.

The vast majority of our revenue is gaming revenue, derived primarily from gaming on slot machines (which represented approximately 84% and 83% of our gaming revenue in 2014 and 2013, respectively) and to a lesser extent, table games, which is highly dependent upon the volume and spending levels of customers at our properties. Other revenues are derived from our management service fee from Casino Rama, our hotel, dining, retail, admissions, program sales, concessions and certain other ancillary activities, and our racing operations. Our racing revenue includes our share of pari-mutuel wagering on live races after payment of amounts returned as winning wagers, our share of wagering from import and export simulcasting, and our share of wagering from our off-track wagering facilities.

Key performance indicators related to gaming revenue are slot handle and table game drop (volume indicators) and “win” or “hold” percentage. Our typical property slot hold percentage is in the range of 6% to 10% of slot handle, and our typical table game win percentage is in the range of 12% to 25% of table game drop. Slot handle is the gross amount wagered for the period cited. The win or hold percentage is the net amount of gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Our slot hold percentages have consistently been in the 6% to 10% range over the past several years. Given the stability in our slot hold percentages, we have not experienced significant impacts to earnings from changes in these percentages.

For table games, customers usually purchase cash chips at the gaming tables. The cash and markers (extensions of credit granted to certain credit worthy customers) are deposited in the gaming table’s drop box. Table game win is the amount of drop that is retained and recorded as casino gaming revenue, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for unredeemed gaming chips. As we are focused on regional gaming markets, our table win percentages are fairly stable as the majority of these markets do not regularly experience high-end play, which can lead to volatility in win percentages. Therefore, changes in table game win percentages do not typically have a material impact to our earnings.

Our properties generate significant operating cash flow, since most of our revenue is cash-based from slot machines, table games, and pari-mutuel wagering. Our business is capital intensive, and we rely on cash flow from our properties to generate operating cash to pay rent to GLPI under the Master Lease, repay debt, fund capital maintenance expenditures, fund new capital projects at existing properties and provide excess cash for future development and acquisitions.

We continue to expand our gaming operations through the implementation and execution of a disciplined capital expenditure program at our existing properties, the pursuit of strategic acquisitions and the development of new gaming properties, particularly in attractive regional markets. Additional information regarding our capital projects is discussed in detail in the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures” below.

together based primarily on their geographic locations. The Company’s reportable segments are: (i) East/Midwest, (ii) West, and (iii) Southern Plains.

The West reportable segment consists of the following properties: Zia Park Casino and the M Resort, as well as the Jamul Indian Village project, which the Company anticipates completing in mid-2016.

The Southern Plains reportable segment consists of the following properties: Hollywood Casino Aurora, Hollywood Casino Joliet, Argosy Casino Alton, Argosy Casino Riverside, Hollywood Casino Tunica, Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast, Boomtown Biloxi, and Hollywood Casino St. Louis, and includes the Company’s 50% investment in Kansas Entertainment, which owns the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway. On July 30, 2014, the Company closed Argosy Casino Sioux City.

Executive Summary

Continued sluggish economic conditions and the expansion of newly constructed gaming facilities continue to impact the overall domestic gaming industry as well as our operating results. We believe that current economic conditions, including, but not limited to, a weak economic recovery, and higher taxes paid by individuals, have resulted in reduced levels of discretionary consumer spending compared to historical levels. Additionally, the expansion of newly constructed gaming facilities has substantially increased competition in many of our regional markets (including some of our larger facilities).

We operate a geographically diversified portfolio comprised largely of new and well maintained regional gaming facilities. This has allowed us to develop what we believe to be a solid base for future growth opportunities. We have also made investments in joint ventures that we believe may allow us to capitalize on additional gaming opportunities in certain states if legislation or referenda are passed that permit and/or expand gaming in these jurisdictions and we are selected as a licensee. Historically, the Company has been reliant on certain key regional gaming markets (for example, its results from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races and Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg). Over the past several years, the Company has diversified its operations via new development facilities and acquisitions and anticipates further diversifying its reliance on specific properties in connection with its current development pipeline.

Financial Highlights:

We reported net revenues and income from operations of $664.1 million and $111.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $641.1 million and $102.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding period in the prior year. The major factors affecting our results for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, were:

· The opening of Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on August 28, 2014 in our East/Midwest segment, which generated $22.5 million of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

· The opening of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course on September 17, 2014 in our East/Midwest segment, which generated $24.9 million of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

· New competition in our East/Midwest segment for Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg, namely the openings of a racino at Belterra Park in May 2014 and our own Dayton facility in late August 2014.

Table of Contents

· Increased competition in our East/Midwest segment from the Baltimore, Maryland market, which includes Maryland Live! and Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, which opened at the end of August 2014, as Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races has been impacted by their marketing efforts in response to each other.

· The closure of Argosy Casino Sioux City in our Southern Plains segment on July 30, 2014.

· Higher general and administrative expenses for corporate overhead costs of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, primarily due to increased cash-settled stock-based compensation charges mainly due to the stock price increases for Penn and GLPI common stock during 2015 compared to stock price declines in 2014.

· Net income increased by $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the variances explained above, as well as lower depreciation expense and higher interest income and income from unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by higher interest expense incurred under our financing obligation to GLPI and higher income taxes.

Segment Developments:

The following are recent developments that have had or will have an impact on us by segment:

East/Midwest

· In June 2012, we announced that we had filed applications with the Ohio Lottery Commission for Video Lottery Sales Agent Licenses for our Ohio racetracks, Raceway Park and Beulah Park, and with the Ohio State Racing Commission for permission to relocate the racetracks to Dayton and Austintown, respectively. On May 1, 2013, we received approval from the Ohio Racing Commission for our relocation plans. Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, which opened on September 17, 2014, features a one-mile thoroughbred track and approximately 860 video lottery terminals, as well as various restaurants, bars and other amenities. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, which opened on August 28, 2014, features a 5/8-mile standardbred track and approximately 980 video lottery terminals, as well as various restaurants, bars and other amenities. See the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Expenditures” below for further details.

· Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg faced increased competition, namely the openings of a racino at Belterra Park in May 2014 and our own Dayton facility in late August 2014.

· Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races faced increased competition from the Baltimore, Maryland market, which includes Maryland Live! and Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, which opened at the end of August 2014, as we have been impacted by their marketing efforts in response to each other. In addition, in December 2013, the license for Prince George’s County, Maryland was granted to MGM. The proposed $1.2 billion casino, which MGM plans to open in the second half of 2016, is anticipated to adversely impact our financial results as it will create additional competition for Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.

· On February 28, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission awarded the Company a Category Two slots-only gaming license for its planned $250 million (including licensing fees) Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, Massachusetts. On March 14, 2014, the Company broke ground on the facility, which will feature live harness racing and simulcasting, along with 1,250 gaming devices, various dining and entertainment options, structured and surface parking, and a two story clubhouse with approximately 55,000 square feet. The Company expects the facility to open on June 24, 2015.

West

· On April 5, 2013, we announced that, subject to final National Indian Gaming Commission approval, we and the Jamul Tribe had entered into definitive agreements (including management, development, branding and lending arrangements) to jointly develop a Hollywood Casino-branded casino on the Jamul Tribe’s trust land in San Diego County, California. The proposed facility is located approximately 20 miles east of downtown San Diego. The proposed $360 million development project will include a three-story gaming and entertainment facility of approximately 200,000 square feet featuring over 1,700 slot machines, 43 live table games, including poker, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges and a partially enclosed parking structure with over 1,800 spaces. In mid-January 2014, we announced the commencement of construction activities at the site and it is anticipated that the facility will open in mid-2016. We currently provide financing to the Jamul Tribe in connection with the project and, upon opening, we will manage and provide branding for the casino.

· On July 30, 2014, Argosy Casino Sioux City ceased its operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We make certain judgments and use certain estimates and assumptions when applying accounting principles in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The nature of the estimates and assumptions are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain factors or the susceptibility of such factors to change. We have identified the accounting for long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes and litigation, claims and assessments as critical accounting estimates, as they are the most important to our financial statement presentation and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and, in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition.

For further information on our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014. There has been no material change to these estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Results of Operations

The following are the most important factors and trends that contribute to our operating performance:

· The fact that most of our properties operate in mature competitive markets. As a result, we expect a majority of our future growth to come from prudent acquisitions of gaming properties (such as our November 2012 acquisition of Harrah’s St. Louis gaming and lodging facility from Caesars Entertainment), jurisdictional expansions (such as our planned June 2015 opening of a slots-only gaming facility in Massachusetts, our planned mid-2016 opening of a Hollywood Casino-branded gaming facility on the Jamul Indian Village land in trust which we will manage, the September 2014 opening of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, the August 2014 opening of Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, the October 2012 opening of Hollywood Casino Columbus, and the May 2012 opening of Hollywood Casino Toledo), expansions of gaming in existing jurisdictions (such as the introduction of table games in July 2010 at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races and Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course, and at Hollywood Casino Bangor in March 2012) and expansions/improvements of existing properties (such as a hotel at Zia Park which opened in August 2014).

· The fact that a number of states (such as New York and Massachusetts) are currently considering or implementing legislation to legalize or expand gaming. Such legislation presents both potential opportunities to establish new properties (for example, in Massachusetts, where we were awarded a slots-only gaming license on February 28, 2014, in Kansas, where we opened a casino through a joint venture in February 2012, and in Ohio, where we opened casinos in Toledo and Columbus in May 2012 and October 2012, respectively, and opened video lottery terminal facilities at two racetracks in the third quarter of 2014) and increased competitive threats to business at our existing properties (such as the introduction/expansion of commercial casinos in Kansas, Maryland, Ohio, and potentially Kentucky, Nebraska and Illinois, and the introduction of tavern licenses in several states, most significantly in Illinois).

· The actions of government bodies can affect our operations in a variety of ways. For instance, the continued pressure on governments to balance their budgets could intensify the efforts of state and local governments to raise revenues through increases in gaming taxes and/or property taxes, or via an expansion of gaming. In addition, government bodies may restrict, prevent or negatively impact operations in the jurisdictions in which we do business (such as the implementation of smoking bans).

· The continued demand for, and our emphasis on, slot wagering entertainment at our properties.

· The successful execution of our development and construction activities, as well as the risks associated with the costs, regulatory approval and the timing of these activities.

Table of Contents

· The risks related to economic conditions and the effect of such prolonged sluggish conditions on consumer spending for leisure and gaming activities, which may negatively impact our operating results and our ability to continue to access financing at favorable terms.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as the primary measure of the Company’s operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, stock compensation, debt extinguishment charges, impairment charges, insurance recoveries and deductible charges, depreciation and amortization, changes in the estimated fair value of contingent purchase price to the previous owners of Plainridge Racecourse, gain or loss on disposal of assets, and other income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is also inclusive income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as depreciation and amortization) added back for our joint venture in Kansas Entertainment. Adjusted EBITDA has economic substance because it is used by management as a performance measure to analyze the performance of our business, and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long lived casino projects because they provide a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial non operational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. We also present adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors and creditors as an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. In addition, gaming companies have historically reported adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with

Table of Contents

GAAP. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their adjusted EBITDA calculations certain corporate expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA information is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a widely used measure of performance in the gaming industry, is the principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies, and that it is considered by many to be a better indicator of the Company’s operating results than net income (loss) per GAAP. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as the primary measure of the operating performance of its segments, including the evaluation of operating personnel. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to operating income, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities, as measures of liquidity, or as any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, taxes and debt principal repayments, which are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. It should also be noted that other gaming companies that report adjusted EBITDA information may calculate adjusted EBITDA in a different manner than the Company and therefore, comparability may be limited.

A reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) per GAAP to adjusted EBITDA, as well as the Company’s income (loss) from operations per GAAP to adjusted EBITDA, is included below. Additionally, a reconciliation of each segment’s income (loss) from operations to adjusted EBITDA is also included below. On a segment level, income (loss) from operations per GAAP, rather than net income (loss) per GAAP, is reconciled to adjusted EBITDA due to, among other things, the impracticability of allocating interest expense, interest income, income taxes and certain other items to the Company’s segments on a segment by segment basis. Management believes that this presentation is more meaningful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s segments and is consistent with the reporting of other gaming companies.

The reconciliation of the Company’s income (loss) from operations per GAAP to adjusted EBITDA, as well as the Company’s net income (loss) per GAAP to adjusted EBITDA, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):

(1) Starting with the second quarter of 2014, adjusted EBITDA exclude our share of the impact of non-operating items (such as depreciation and amortization expense) from our joint venture in Kansas Entertainment. Prior periods were reclassified to conform to this new presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA for our East/Midwest segment increased by $12.0 million, or 11.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the openings of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course on September 17, 2014 and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on August 28, 2014, which together increased adjusted EBITDA by $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, and a property tax refund received in the first quarter of 2015 for $2.0 million, which were partially offset by decreased adjusted EBITDA at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races primarily due to competition discussed below, the restatement accrual adjustment of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and increased pre-opening costs for Plainridge Park Casino of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA for our Southern Plains segment decreased by $1.1 million, or 1.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to decreased adjusted EBITDA at Argosy Casino Sioux City of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, due to its closure on July 30, 2014, and decreased adjusted EBITDA at Hollywood Casino Aurora primarily due to additional competition, both of which were partially offset by cost containment measures at Boomtown Biloxi and Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast and increased earnings related to our joint venture in Kansas Entertainment primarily due to growth in its market share.

Adjusted EBITDA for Other decreased by $6.5 million, or 39.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to increased corporate overhead costs of $7.6 million primarily due to increased cash-settled stock-based compensation charges mainly due to the stock price increases for Penn and GLPI common stock during 2015 compared to stock price declines in 2014.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

In our business, revenue is driven by discretionary consumer spending, which has been impacted by a slow economic recovery that has resulted in declines in the labor force participation rate, higher taxes, and increased stock market and commodity price volatility. The expansion of newly constructed gaming facilities has also increased competition in many regional markets (including at some of our key facilities).

We have no certain mechanism for determining why consumers choose to spend more or less money at our properties from period to period and as such cannot quantify a dollar amount for each factor that impacts our customers’ spending behaviors. However, based on our experience, we can generally offer some insight into the factors that we believe were likely to account for such changes. In instances where we believe one factor may have had a significantly greater impact than the other factors, we have noted that as well. However, in all instances, such insights are based only on our reasonable judgment and professional experience, and no assurance can be given as to the accuracy of our judgments.

The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenues and then deducted as “promotional allowances.” Our promotional allowance levels are determined based on various factors such as our marketing plans, competitive factors, economic conditions, and regulations.

Gaming revenue

Gaming revenue increased by $20.7 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the variances explained below.

Gaming revenue for our East/Midwest segment increased by $34.6 million, or 11.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the openings of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course on September 17, 2014 and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on August 28, 2014, which together generated $42.9 million of gaming revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which was partially offset by decreased gaming revenue at Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg primarily due to the continued impact of competition in Ohio, namely the openings of a racino at Belterra Park in May 2014 and our own Dayton facility, and at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races primarily due to increased competition from the Baltimore Maryland market, which includes Maryland Live! and Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, which opened at the end of August 2014, as we have been impacted by their marketing efforts in response to each other.

Gaming revenue for our Southern Plains segment decreased by $14.2 million, or 6.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the closure of Argosy Casino Sioux City on July 30, 2014, which had gaming revenue of $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and decreased gaming revenue at Hollywood Casino Aurora primarily due to additional competition.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $3.8 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to higher interest expense of $3.3 million incurred under our financing obligation to GLPI due to a higher GLPI financing obligation balance as a result of the completion of the real estate construction costs for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course funded by GLPI and the accretion of the relocation fees associated with our two racinos in Ohio, both of which opened in the third quarter of 2014, for $1.7 million (See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), partially offset by higher capitalized interest and lower interest rates on the Term Loan A portion of the senior secured credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Interest income

Interest income increased by $1.4 million, or 300.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to higher interest accrued on the note receivable with the Jamul Tribe (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details).

Income from unconsolidated affiliates

Income from unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.5 million, or 60.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to increased earnings related to our joint venture in Kansas Entertainment primarily due to growth in its market share.

Other

Other increased by $1.5 million, or 89.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to increased foreign currency translation gains for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Taxes

The Company’s annual ETR can vary each interim period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings, as well as changes in forecasted earnings, the level of our tax credits and the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically and prospectively, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been and will be cash flow from operations, borrowings from banks and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $78.0 million and $43.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $34.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was comprised primarily of an increase in cash receipts from customers of $24.9 million and a decrease in cash paid to suppliers and vendors of $6.4 million. The increase in cash receipts collected from our customers for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior year was primarily due to the openings of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course on September 17, 2014 and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on August 28, 2014, partially offset by the closure of Argosy Casino Sioux City on July 30, 2014 and continued competition on our operations. The decrease in cash paid to suppliers and vendors for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior year was primarily due to the timing of cash payments for prepaids and lower accruals year-over-year. The decrease in cash paid to suppliers and vendors was partially offset by the openings of Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course on September 17, 2014 and Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway on August 28, 2014 and increased corporate overhead costs year-over-year, which were partially offset by the closure of Argosy Casino Sioux City on July 30, 2014 and decreased gaming taxes resulting from decreased taxable gaming revenue related to continued competition on our operations.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $65.3 million and $53.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was primarily due to increased capital project expenditures of $24.0 million primarily due to the development of Plainridge Park Casino, which is expected to open in June 2015, increased advances to the Jamul Tribe of $7.8 million, and cash in escrow returned in the first quarter of 2014 of $18.0 million, all of which were partially offset by our Massachusetts gaming license payment of $25.0 million in March 2014 and decreased capital maintenance expenditures of $12.2 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $16.3 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities of $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was primarily due to higher net borrowings on our long-term debt of $30.3 million, partially offset by lower proceeds from insurance financing of $13.5 million, lower proceeds from the exercise of options of $2.8 million, and increased principal payments of $1.2 million on the financing obligation with GLPI.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are accounted for as either capital project or capital maintenance (replacement) expenditures. Capital project expenditures are for fixed asset additions that expand an existing facility or create a new facility. Capital maintenance expenditures are expenditures to replace existing fixed assets with a useful life greater than one year that are obsolete, worn out or no longer cost effective to repair.

The following table summarizes our expected capital project expenditures by segment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and actual expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 (excluding licensing fees and net of reimbursements). The table below should not be utilized to predict future expected capital project expenditures subsequent to 2015.

On February 28, 2014, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission awarded the Company a Category Two slots-only gaming license, and on March 14, 2014, the Company broke ground on the development of Plainridge Park Casino in Plainville, Massachusetts. Plainridge Park Casino is anticipated to be a $250 million (which is inclusive of a $25 million increase to our previous budget that is principally the result of our decision to purchase rather than lease certain games and equipment) fully integrated racing and gaming facility featuring live harness racing and simulcasting with 1,250 gaming devices, various dining and entertainment options, structured and surface parking, and a two story clubhouse with approximately 55,000 square feet. We expect Plainridge Park Casino to open on June 24, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, total cumulative costs were $144.6 million, which includes a $25 million gaming license fee, which was paid in March 2014, and the acquisition of Plainridge Racecourse for $42.4 million, which was paid in April 2014.

Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, with a $161 million budget, inclusive of a $75 million relocation fee and $50 million license fee, opened on September 17, 2014. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, with a $165 million budget, inclusive of a $75 million relocation fee and $50 million license fee (both of which were recorded as an indefinite lived intangible assets), opened on August 28, 2014. The $75 million relocation fee for each Ohio racetrack is based on the present value of the contractual obligation, of which $7.5 million was paid upon opening, with 18 additional semi-annual payments of $4.8 million due beginning one year after opening. For the license fee for each Ohio racetrack, we paid $10 million in the second quarter of 2014 as well as $15 million upon opening and will pay the remaining license fee of $25 million on the one year anniversary of the commencement of gaming. As of March 31, 2015, Penn incurred cumulative costs of $71.7 million and $63.6 million for the Austintown facility and the Dayton facility, respectively, which includes the payments made to date for the relocation fee and license fee previously mentioned. As part of the spin-off transaction that was effective November 1, 2013, GLPI was responsible for certain real estate related construction costs for the Austintown facility and the Dayton facility, and as such, these facilities are now subject to the Master Lease.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we spent $11.9 million for capital maintenance expenditures, with $3.3 million at our East/Midwest segment, $2.3 million at our West segment, $5.3 million at our Southern Plains segment, and $1.0 million for Other. The majority of the capital maintenance expenditures were for slot machines and slot machine equipment.

Jamul Tribe

Advances to the Jamul Tribe, which totaled $86.4 million at March 31, 2015, is accounted for as a loan and as such is not included in the capital expenditures table presented above. The budget for this development project is $360 million. We expect the project to be completed in mid-2016 which will include the construction of a three-story gaming and entertainment facility of approximately 200,000 square feet featuring over 1,700 slot machines, 43 live table games, including poker, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges and a partially enclosed parking structure with over 1,800 spaces.

Cash generated from operations and cash available under the revolving credit facility portion of our senior secured credit facility funded our capital projects, capital maintenance expenditures and the Jamul Tribe project in 2015 to date.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Other Long Term Obligations

Other long term obligations at March 31, 2015 of $150.3 million included $135.0 million related to the relocation fees for Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course and $15.3 million related to the repayment obligation of a hotel and event center located near Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg; all of which are more fully described below.

In June 2013, the Company finalized the terms of its memorandum of understanding with the State of Ohio, which included an agreement by the Company to pay a relocation fee in return for being able to relocate its existing racetracks in Toledo and Grove City to Dayton and Austintown, respectively. Upon opening of these two racinos in Ohio in the third quarter of 2014, the relocation fee for each new racino was recorded at the present value of the contractual obligation, which was calculated to be $75 million based on the 5% discount rate included in the agreement. The relocation fee for each facility is payable as follows: $7.5 million upon the opening of the facility and eighteen semi-annual payments of $4.8 million beginning one year from the commencement of operations. This obligation is accreted to interest expense at an effective yield of 5.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The City of Lawrenceburg Department of Redevelopment recently completed construction of a hotel and event center located less than a mile away from Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg. Effective in mid January 2015, by contractual agreement, a repayment obligation for the hotel and event center was assumed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in the amount of $15.3 million, which was financed through a loan with the City of Lawrenceburg Department of Redevelopment. The Company is obligated to make annual payments on the loan of approximately $1 million for twenty years beginning January 2016. This obligation is accreted to

interest expense at its effective yield of 3.0%. The amount included in interest expense related to this obligation was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Capital Leases

Capital leases are primarily comprised of a ten year corporate airplane lease that expires in August 2016, which has a ten year renewal option. The lease obligation has been recorded at the lessor’s initial cost of the plane, of $24.9 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, since the agreement has broad based default provisions that could result in potential damages equal to this amount. The lease obligation was classified as a capital lease based on the provisions of ASC 840 “Leases” which requires that the remedies for events of default under the provision described in this scenario be included in the minimum lease payment calculation for purposes of lease classification and that the probability of such an event of default will occur is not relevant to this determination.

Financing Obligation with GLPI

As discussed in Note 3 and Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company makes significant payments to GLPI under the Master Lease. As of March 31, 2015, the Company financed with GLPI real property assets associated with eighteen of the Company’s gaming and related facilities used in the Company’s operations.

Covenants

The Company’s senior secured credit facility and $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy certain financial tests, including fixed charge coverage, interest coverage, senior leverage and total leverage ratios. In addition, the Company’s senior secured credit facility and $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes restrict, among other things, its ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, engage in mergers or consolidations, and otherwise restrict corporate activities.

At March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. The Company has received a waiver through March 15, 2016, from its lenders under its senior secured credit facility to file its financial statements with the SEC through the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, starting on February 8, 2016, the Company is required to pay an additional 25 basis points annually under its $300 million senior unsecured notes, which payment obligation will cease once the Company becomes current with its SEC filings.

Outlook

The spin-off transaction with GLPI will continue to have a material impact on our results of operations, capital structure and management. For a discussion of these impacts, see “Spin-Off of Real Estate Assets through a Real Estate Assets through a Real Estate Investment Trust” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash generated from operations and cash on hand, together with amounts available under our senior secured credit facility, will be adequate to meet our anticipated rental obligation, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable future. However, we cannot be certain that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that our anticipated earnings projections will be realized, or that future borrowings will be available under our senior secured credit facility or otherwise will be available to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior secured credit facility and the $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes, to retire or redeem the $300 million 5.875% senior unsecured notes when required or to make anticipated capital expenditures. In addition, we expect a majority of our future growth to come from acquisitions of gaming properties at reasonable valuations, greenfield projects, jurisdictional expansions and property expansion in under-penetrated markets. If we consummate significant acquisitions in the future or undertake any significant property expansions, our cash requirements may increase significantly and we may need to make additional borrowings or complete equity or debt financings to meet these requirements. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance our debt will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Capital Structure” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a discussion of the risk related to our capital structure.

We have historically maintained a capital structure comprising a mix of equity and debt financing. We vary our leverage to pursue opportunities in the marketplace and in an effort to maximize our enterprise value for our shareholders. We expect to meet our debt obligations as they come due through internally generated funds from operations and/or refinancing them through the debt or equity markets prior to their maturity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The table below provides information at March 31, 2015 about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts maturing during the period and the related weighted-average interest rates by maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged by maturity date and the weighted-average interest rates are based on implied forward LIBOR rates at March 31, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

Prior to the filing of the Original Filing, the Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2015, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2015. Subsequent to this evaluation, as described below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As disclosed in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed concurrently with this Form 10-Q/A, the Company did not maintain effective controls and procedures over the evaluation and accounting of certain complex and non-routine transactions including lease transactions. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience to challenge our application of GAAP commensurate with the nature and complexity of certain of our transactions to prevent or detect and correct material misstatements in a timely manner. In addition, we did not maintain effective controls and procedures over the calculation of impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Specifically, our review controls were not designed with a sufficient level of precision and executed by personnel with an appropriate level of experience to detect material errors in the methodologies used and in the calculation of the impairment charges that were recognized in our consolidated financial statements. As disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included within this quarterly report, these material weaknesses resulted in material misstatements in our previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and as of December 31, 2014.

Management became aware of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and took immediate actions to remediate the material weaknesses. The Company has initiated a compensating control over the proper application of GAAP to complex and non-routine transactions, which includes the involvement of a third party consultant with relevant knowledge and experience to assist the Company with the evaluation of the accounting for highly technical accounting matters. The Company currently expects to have this material weakness remediated no later than December 31, 2016, once we have obtained sufficient evidence that the newly designed and implemented controls are operating effectively.

With respect to the material weakness over the accounting for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment measurement, the Company has designed and implemented additional controls during 2015. This includes the involvement of a third party consultant to provide the Company with the appropriate level of expertise to assist in the review of the assessment at a sufficient

level of precision. The Company currently expects to have this material weakness remediated no later than December 31, 2016, once we have obtained sufficient evidence that the newly designed and implemented controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as noted in the preceding paragraphs, there were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
