Item 8.01.     Other Events
This Form 8-K is being filed to update the audited consolidated financial statements and certain other items of Boyd Gaming Corporation (the "Company"), specifically and primarily related to the recasting of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and related notes thereto, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Provisional Form 10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2010, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2011. The impact on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, as included in the Provisional Form 10-K, and as retrospectively adjusted for these items, was not material, and therefore has not been recasted as a result of this update.
When we filed our Provisional Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, the initial acquisition method accounting for the effective change in control of Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa ("Borgata") was not finalized. The application of acquisition method accounting, required in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance for business combinations, initially had the following effects on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements: (i) our previously held equity interest was measured at a provisional fair value at the date control was obtained; (ii) we recognized and measured the provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities in accordance with promulgated valuation recognition and measurement provisions; and (iii) we recorded the provisional fair value of the noncontrolling interest held in trust as a separate component of our stockholders' equity.
Since the filing of the Provisional Form 10-K, we have made adjustments to the provisional fair value amounts recognized at the date of effective change in control, or March 24, 2010, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of March 24, 2010 that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. These adjustments, referred to herein as “measurement period adjustments” materially shifted the value of certain tangible and intangible assets. We have applied the measurement period adjustments retrospectively to the consolidated balance sheet reported as of December 31, 2010, as previously reported in the Provisional Form 10-K; however, the impact on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, as retrospectively adjusted to the statement as reported on the Provisional Form 10-K was not material, and was therefore not adjusted for any measurement period adjustments.
Additionally, Note 23 has been added to provide condensed consolidating financial information of the Company in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC in contemplation of complying with such Rule in anticipation of the filing of a registration statement to register our 9.125% Senior Notes and the related guarantees of such notes.
These updated historical financial statements, and other conforming changes to the Provisional Form 10-K are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and have been updated, solely to include the retrospective measurement period adjustments and new footnote disclosure. All other information provided in the Form 10-K, unless otherwise provided herein, remains unchanged and this Form 8-K does not modify or update the disclosures in the Form 10-K in any other way. The revisions to the Provisional Form 10-K, as included herein, should be read in conjunction with other information that the Company has filed with the SEC.
