1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Century Casinos, Inc. (“CCI” or the “Company”) is an international casino entertainment company. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned casino operations in North America; managed cruise ship-based casinos on international waters; and owned a management contract to manage the casino in the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa. The Company also owns a 33.3% ownership interest in Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL”), the owner and operator of seven casinos in Poland. The Company continues to pursue other projects in various stages of development.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts
Dollar amounts reported in this quarterly report are in U.S. dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise indicated. Transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency, which include the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), Euro (“€”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”) are translated and recorded at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Commitments that are denominated in a foreign currency and all balance sheet accounts other than shareholders’ equity are translated and presented based on the exchange rate between such foreign currency and the U.S. dollar at the end of the reported periods. Current period transactions affecting the profit and loss of operations conducted in foreign currencies are valued at the average exchange rate between such foreign currency and the U.S. dollar for the period in which they are incurred.
The exchange rates to the U.S. dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows:

4. PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES
Hotel accommodations, bowling and food and beverage furnished without charge to customers are included in gross revenue at a value which approximates retail and are then deducted as complimentary services to arrive at net operating revenue.
The Company issues coupons for the purpose of generating future revenue. The cost of the coupons redeemed is applied against the revenue generated on the day of the redemption. In addition, members of the Company’s casinos’ player clubs earn points based on, among other things, their volume of play at the Company’s casinos. Players can accumulate points over time that they may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program. Points can be redeemed for cash and/or various amenities at the casino, such as meals, hotel stays and gift shop items. The cost of the points is offset against the revenue in the period in which the points were earned. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The expiration of unused points results in a reduction of the liability.
Promotional allowances presented in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings include the following:

5. INCOME TAXES
The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rate in effect for the year these differences are expected to be taxable or reversed. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. The recorded deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis by reviewing the Company’s internal estimates for future taxable income.
As of March 31, 2012, the Company has established a valuation allowance for its U.S. deferred tax assets of $5.1 million, a $0.9 million valuation allowance on its Calgary property and a $1.4 million valuation allowance on the Century Casinos Europe subsidiary deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future taxable income. The Company assesses the continuing need for a valuation allowance that results from uncertainty regarding its ability to realize the benefits of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets depends on generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. If the Company concludes that its prospects for the realization of its deferred tax assets are more likely than not, the Company will then reduce its valuation allowance as appropriate and credit income tax expense after considering the following factors:
·
|
The level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets would be deductible;
|
·
|
Accumulation of net income before tax utilizing a look-back period of three years, and
|
·
|
Tax planning strategies.
|
The income tax provisions are based on estimated full-year earnings for financial reporting purposes adjusted for permanent differences. The Company’s provision for income taxes from operations consists of the following:

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings per share considers only weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. The calculation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the assumed conversion of other convertible securities (using the “if converted” method) at the beginning of the year, or for the period outstanding during the year for current year issuances. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Forward-Looking Statements, Business Environment and Risk Factors
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, Century Casinos, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) may make other written and oral communications from time to time that contain such statements. Forward-looking statements include statements as to industry trends and future expectations of the Company and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts and are based on certain assumptions by management at the time such statements are made. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, among others, the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We caution the reader to carefully consider such factors. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
References in this item to “we,” “our,” or “us” are to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless the context otherwise requires. The term “CAD” refers to Canadian dollars.
Amounts presented in this Item 2 are rounded. As such, rounding differences could occur in period over period changes and percentages reported throughout this Item 2.
OVERVIEW
Since our inception in 1992, we have been primarily engaged in developing and operating gaming establishments and related lodging, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Our primary source of revenue is from the net proceeds of our gaming machines and tables, with ancillary revenue generated from the hotel, restaurant, bowling and entertainment facilities that are a part of the casinos.
We currently own, operate and manage the following casinos through wholly-owned subsidiaries:
-
|
The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;
|
-
|
The Century Casino Calgary, Alberta, Canada;
|
- |
The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado; and |
- |
The Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado. |
We also operate 12 ship-based casinos onboard four cruise lines; Oceania Cruises, TUI Cruises, Windstar Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The most recent ship-based casino addition is the Riviera, which began operations on May 3, 2012. In addition, the contract for the Insignia ship-based casino expired on April 5, 2012 and was not renewed.
The following table summarizes the cruise lines for which we have entered into agreements and the associated ships on which we currently operate ship-based casinos.

Net operating revenue at our property in Calgary increased by less than $0.1 million, or 0.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net operating revenue increased due to higher gaming revenue of $0.2 million, or 10.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gaming revenue is due to an enhanced slot floor layout, improved slot machine mix and increased table games revenue from Baccarat play for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increased gaming revenue was offset by a $0.2 million, or 13.7% decrease in bowling, food, beverage and other revenue. The decrease in bowling, food, beverage and other revenue is due to a decrease in promotional events at the showrooms resulting in lower ticket sales and a decrease in the participation of bowling leagues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. In CAD, net operating revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Total operating costs and expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in operating costs and expenses is due to lower cost of goods sold expense due to the implementation of new purchasing and inventory procedures along with lower staffing costs due to a change in the property’s management structure and labor efficiencies achieved for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. In CAD, total operating costs and expenses in Calgary decreased by $0.1 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
As a result of the foregoing, net earnings increased by $0.2 million, or 104.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

We recorded an increase of $0.1 million in earnings from our investment in CPL for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily a result of increased gaming revenue.
On July 29, 2011, our co-shareholders in CPL (LOT Polish Airlines and PPL Polish Airports) informed us of their intent to sell their shares in CPL (66.66% of the total shares) to Totalizator Sportowy Group, the state owned Polish national lottery firm. LOT Polish Airlines and PPL Polish Airports requested our consent to their respective conditional sales agreement, which is necessary for the legal effectiveness of any share transfers. We are evaluating their request.

Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 is due to lower principal balances on third party debt related to our Edmonton property (the “Edmonton Mortgage Loan”).

The effective tax rates of our foreign properties are impacted by the movement of exchange rates primarily due to loans which are denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, foreign currency gains or losses recorded in each property’s local currency do not impact our earnings reported in U.S. dollars.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
Our business is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow. We use the cash flows that we generate to maintain operations, fund reinvestment in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects, repay third party debt, and pursue additional growth via new development and acquisition opportunities. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with either cash on hand or funds provided by bank borrowings or other debt or equity financing activities.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.9 million at March 31, 2012, and we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $7.6 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $25.2 million and working capital of $6.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decline in cash is primarily due to $2.5 million in repayment of the Edmonton Mortgage Loan. In addition, we invested $0.6 million in various capital expenditure projects. These declines were offset by $0.8 million in cash provided by operating activities and a $0.1 million impact on the cash balances due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our cash flows from operations have historically been positive and sufficient to fund ordinary operations. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in earnings from operations, excluding non-cash charges. Please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and management’s discussion of the results of operations above.
Net cash used in investing activities of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of $0.3 million used to purchase slot machines and a kiosk at our two Colorado properties, $0.2 million used to construct the new poker room in Calgary and $0.1 million used in cumulative additions at our remaining properties.
Net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of $0.4 million used in building renovations and surveillance system upgrades in Calgary, $0.2 million used to replace surveillance cameras in Central City, $0.1 million used for gaming equipment additions on cruise ship-based casinos placed in service in 2010, $0.1 million used to purchase new slot machines at our Cripple Creek and Central City properties and $0.2 million used in cumulative additions at our remaining properties.
Net cash used in financing activities of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of $2.5 million in the repayment and prepayment of our Edmonton Mortgage Loan. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining balance on our Edmonton Mortgage Loan is $6.7 million. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Edmonton Mortgage Loan as of March 31, 2012.
Net cash used in financing activities of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of $2.5 million in the repayment and prepayment of our Edmonton Mortgage Loan.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
Since 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, we increased the amount available to be repurchased to $15.0 million. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The total amount remaining under the repurchase program was $14.7 million as of March 31, 2012. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.
Potential Sources of Liquidity, Short-Term Liquidity
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash flow from operations, bank borrowings, sales of existing casino operations and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities.
We expect that the primary source of cash will be from our gaming operations. In addition to the payment of operating costs, expected uses of cash within one year include capital expenditures for our existing properties, interest and principal payments on outstanding debt and potential repurchases of our outstanding common stock.
We believe that our cash at March 31, 2012 as supplemented by cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs, capital expenditures at existing properties and current debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months. We will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at each of our existing locations in light of the operating performance of the facilities at such locations. From time to time we expect to have cash needs for the development or purchase of new properties that exceed our current borrowing capacity. If necessary, we may seek to obtain term loans, mortgages or lines of credit with commercial banks or other debt or equity financings to supplement our working capital and investing requirements.
In addition, we expect our U.S. domestic cash resources will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. While we currently do not have an intent nor foresee a need to repatriate funds, if we require more capital in the U.S. than is generated by our U.S. operations either for operations, capital expenditures or significant discretionary activities such as acquisitions of businesses and share repurchases, we could elect to repatriate earnings from foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances, which could have adverse tax consequences as we have not accrued taxes for un-repatriated earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The determination of the additional deferred taxes that would be provided for undistributed earnings has not been determined because the hypothetical calculation is not practicable.
We had no significant changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial/accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Co Chief Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – As further discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, management identified a material weakness related to the absence of a process to substantiate and support tax positions taken related to our international operations and international legal entity structure. As a result of this material weakness, we identified errors in income tax expense totaling $502,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, management implemented changes to address the identified control deficiencies by taking the following actions: Management completed an assessment of its current domestic and international tax planning structure and strategy with the assistance of an outside professional tax firm. In the future, we will routinely evaluate the necessity for third party tax specialists’ advice or assistance and utilize such advice or assistance as deemed appropriate when dealing with material and complex tax accounting matters in connection with the preparation of our financial statements, including tax planning strategies. Management believes these changes have remediated the identified material weakness.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
In March 2000, our board of directors approved a discretionary program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In November 2009, our board of directors approved an increase of the amount available to be repurchased under the program to $15.0 million. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date and had approximately $14.7 million remaining as of March 31, 2012. There were no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
