Casino profits aside, company says it cannot meet terms of sale
MIAMI, Aug. 20 () -- Jai-alai and casino company Florida Gaming said it had filed for bankruptcy protection as terms of its sale would be impossible to meet.In a stock filing, the company said it would need to come up with $114 million when a deal to sell itself to Silver Entertainment closes. But the price of the sale, including debt,[url=http://www.ldike.com/]michael kors sale[/url], came to $115 million, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.ABC Funding holds the debt,[url=http://www.tinfoti.com]Christian Louboutin Sale[/url], an $87 million loan that was used to add casino gaming to the jai-alai fronton.That gambit is paying well, the Herald said. Casino revenues reached $19 million in the second quarter and Florida Gaming notched a $4 million operating profit -- albeit, that profit was wiped out by a one-time charge owed to ABC Funding based on the upcoming sale.On paper, Florida Gaming lost $22 million in the quarter.The way it adds up, "Miami Jai-Alai is now thriving and is a success by every measure but one: its relationship with its lender," wrote Florida Gaming executive Daniel Licciardi in a court filing.In addition to the $114 million, Florida Gaming owes lenders a $6 million penalty that covers devaluation of the company based on the number of slot machines a rival business -- the Hialeah Park racetrack -- has operating, the Herald said. |
