PART I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
A. | INTRODUCTION |
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the Company) is a racing company that conducts pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing and simulcast signals of races. Additionally, we offer racing services through our other business interests. We were organized as a Kentucky corporation in 1928. Our principal executive offices are located at 700 Central Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky, 40208.
We own and operate our flagship operation, Churchill Downs racetrack, in Louisville, Kentucky (Churchill Downs). Churchill Downs has conducted Thoroughbred racing continuously since 1875 and is internationally known as the home of the Kentucky Derby. The Churchill Downs operation also encompasses an off-track betting facility (OTB). In addition, the management of Churchill Downs oversees Ellis Park Race Course, Inc. (Ellis Park), which operates a Thoroughbred track in Henderson, Kentucky.
Churchill Downs Management Company (CDMC), a wholly owned subsidiary, manages all of our racing operations including: Churchill Downs; Arlington Park, a pari-mutuel horse racing operation in Arlington Heights along with five OTBs in Illinois; Calder Race Course, a Thoroughbred racing operation in Miami, Florida; and Hollywood Park, a Thoroughbred racing operation in Inglewood, California. Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park were acquired in April 1999 and September 1999, respectively. Arlington Park merged with the Company in September 2000.
Additionally, CDMC manages Hoosier Park at Anderson in Anderson, Indiana (Hoosier Park). Hoosier Park conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing, and operates three OTBs in Indiana. Hoosier Park is owned by Hoosier Park, L.P. (HPLP), an Indiana limited partnership. Anderson Park, Inc. (Anderson), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDMC, is the sole general partner of HPLP. On December 3, 2001 we sold a 15% interest in HPLP to Centaur Racing, LLC (Centaur) for a purchase price of $4.5 million,which included an assignment to Centaur of an additional $3.6 million of the loan owed to the Company by HPLP. Anderson retains a 62% interest in HPLP and CDMC will continue to manage its day-to-day operations. Centaur now owns 38% of HPLP and, through a Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement, has options to purchase additional partnership interests from us.
We formed Churchill Downs Investment Company (CDIC), a wholly owned subsidiary, to oversee other industry related investments. CDIC owns a 60% ownership interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC (CBT), a privately held company that provides television production and computer graphic software to the racing industry. CBTs proprietary software displays odds, statistical data and other racing information on television in real-time for customers at racetracks and OTBs.
2 | ||
During January 2002, we sold our 35% interest in EquiSource, LLC, a procurement business that assists in the group purchasing of supplies and services for the equine industry, to the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, Inc. CDIC also holds a 30% interest in NASRIN Services, LLC (NASRIN), a telecommunications service provider for the pari-mutuel and simulcasting industries and a 24% interest in Kentucky Downs, LLC (Kentucky Downs), a Franklin, Kentucky, racetrack that conducts a limited Thoroughbred race meet with seven live racing days in September, as well as year-round simulcasting. Our investments in CBT, EquiSource, NASRIN and Kentucky Downs are and were not material to the Companys financial position or results of operations.
B. | LIVE RACING OPERATIONS |
We conduct live horse racing at Churchill Downs, Hollywood Park, Calder Race Course, Arlington Park, Hoosier Park and Ellis Park, which produces revenues through pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and OTBs, simulcast fees, admissions and concessions revenue.
The Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks, both held at Churchill Downs, continue to be our premier racing events. The Kentucky Derby offers a minimum $1.0 million in purse money, and the Kentucky Oaks offers a minimum $0.5 million in purse money. In addition, Churchill Downs offers a $0.8 million purse for the Stephen Foster Handicap. Calder Race Course is home to The Festival of the Sun, Floridas richest day in Thoroughbred racing, offering approximately $1.7 million in total purse money. Hollywood Park is home to the Hollywood Gold Cup, which offers $0.8 million in purse money. Hollywood Parks Autumn Meet is highlighted by the annual $2.9 million Autumn Turf Festival, comprised of thirteen turf races. The Arlington Million, which is run during the International Festival of Racing at Arlington Park, with a purse of $1.0 million, is one of three North American stops for the Emirates World Series Racing Championship. Other significant racing events are the Indiana Derby for Thoroughbreds and the Dan Patch Invitational for Standardbreds held at Hoosier Park, as well as the Gardenia Stakes for older fillies and mares held at Ellis Park.
Arlington Park will host the Breeders Cup Championship (Breeders Cup) in 2002. Churchill Downs hosted the Breeders Cup in 2000, 1998, 1994, 1991 and 1988 and Hollywood Park also hosted the Breeders Cup in 1997, 1987 and 1984. Breeders Cup Limited, a tax-exempt organization chartered to promote Thoroughbred racing and breeding, sponsors Breeders Cup races which feature $13.0 million in purses. These races are held annually for the purpose of determining Thoroughbred champions in eight different events. Racetracks across North America compete for the privilege of hosting the prestigious Breeders Cup races each year.
Churchill DownsThe Churchill Downs racetrack site and improvements are located in Louisville, Kentucky (Churchill facility). The Churchill facility consists of approximately 147 acres of land with a one-mile dirt track, a seven-eighths (7/8) mile turf track, permanent grandstands and a stabling area. The facility includes clubhouse and grandstand seating for approximately 48,500 persons, a state-of-the-art simulcast wagering facility designed to accommodate 450 persons, a general admission area, and food and beverage facilities ranging from
3 | ||
fast food to full-service restaurants. The site also has a saddling paddock, infield accommodations for groups and special events, parking areas for the public, and our racetrack and corporate office facilities. The backside stable area has barns sufficient to accommodate approximately 1,400 horses, a 114-room dormitory and other facilities for backstretch personnel.
To supplement the facilities at Churchill Downs, we provide additional stabling facilities sufficient to accommodate 500 horses and a three-quarter (3/4) mile dirt track, which is used for training Thoroughbreds, at the OTB known as Trackside (formerly the Louisville Sports Spectrum). The facilities provide a year-round base of operation for many horsemen and enable us to attract new horsemen to race at Churchill Downs.
We continue to make numerous capital improvements to the Churchill facility in order to better serve our horsemen and patrons, including a $27 million renovation plan to restore and modernize key areas at the Churchill facility and to construct up to 66 luxury suites. The project began in January 2002.
Hollywood ParkHollywood Park and the Hollywood Park Casino site and improvements are located in Inglewood, California (Hollywood Park facility). The Hollywood Park facility consists of approximately 240 acres of land upon which the racetrack and casino are located with a one and one-eighth (1 1/8) mile dirt track, a one-mile turf track, permanent grandstands and a stabling area. The facility includes clubhouse and grandstand seating for 16,675 persons, a general admission area, a saddling paddock area and food and beverage facilities ranging from fast food to full-service restaurants. The stabling area consists of stalls to accommodate approximately 2,000 horses, tack rooms, feed rooms, a federally approved quarantine facility, a half-mile training track, and a not-for-profit Equine Teaching Hospital and Research Center operated under the direction of the Southern California Equine Foundation. The Hollywood Park facility also features parking areas for the public and office facilities.
The Hollywood Park Casino is a state-of-the-art facility that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The casino features more than 150 gaming tables offering a variety of California approved casino games. Under California gaming law, the casino is a card club. Thus, it is not authorized to operate slot machines or electronic gaming devices but instead rents tables to casino patrons for a seat fee charged on a per hand basis. The casino also offers facilities for simulcast wagering. We lease the facility to, Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc., formerly Hollywood Park, Inc., under a 10-year lease for an annual rent of $3.0 million. The lease includes a 10-year renewal option and is subject to an adjustment to the rent at the time the option is exercised.
Calder Race CourseThe Calder Race Course racetrack and improvements are located in Miami, Florida (Calder Race Course facility). The Calder Race Course facility is adjacent to Pro Player Stadium, home of the Florida Marlins and Miami Dolphins. The Calder Race Course facility consists of approximately 220 acres of land with a one-mile dirt track, a seven-eighths (7/8) mile turf track, a training area with a five-eighths (5/8) mile training track, permanent grandstands and a stabling area. The facility includes clubhouse and grandstand seating for approximately 15,000 persons, a general admission area, and food and beverage facilities ranging from fast food to full-service restaurants. The stable area consists of
4 | ||
a receiving barn, feed rooms, tack rooms, detention barns and living quarters and can accommodate approximately 1,800 horses. The Calder Race Course facility also features a saddling paddock, parking areas for the public and office facilities.
Arlington ParkArlington Park was constructed in 1927 and reopened its doors in 1989 after a devastating fire engulfed the clubhouse four years earlier. The updated racecourse sits on 325 acres, has a one and one-eighths (1 1/8) mile dirt track, a one-mile turf course and a five-eighths (5/8) mile training track. The facility includes permanent clubhouse, grandstand and suite seating for 6,045 persons, and food and beverage facilities ranging from fast food to full-service restaurants. During 2001, Arlington Park completed construction of 3 new barns on the backstretch stable area, a $3.0 million project, increasing the number of barns to 34 to accommodate approximately 2,200 horses. The Arlington Park facility also features a saddling paddock, parking areas for the public and office facilities.
Ellis ParkThe Ellis Park racetrack and improvements, located in Henderson, Kentucky (Ellis Park facility), consist of approximately 250 acres of land just north of the Ohio River with a one and one-eighths (1 1/8) mile dirt track, a one-mile turf course, permanent grandstands and a stabling area for 1,140 horses. The facility includes clubhouse and grandstand seating for 8,000 people, a general admission area, and food and beverage facilities ranging from fast food to full-service restaurants. The Ellis Park facility also features a saddling paddock, parking areas for the public and office facilities.
Hoosier ParkHoosier Park is located in Anderson, Indiana, about 40 miles northeast of downtown Indianapolis (Hoosier Park facility). Hoosier Park leases the land under a long-term lease with the city of Anderson and owns all of the improvements on the site. The Hoosier Park facility consists of approximately 110 acres of leased land with a seven-eighths (7/8) mile dirt track, permanent grandstands and a stabling area. The facility includes seating for approximately 2,400 persons, a general admission area, and food and beverage facilities ranging from fast food to a full-service restaurant. The site also has a saddling paddock, parking areas for the public and office facilities. The stable area has barns sufficient to accommodate 980 horses and other facilities for backstretch personnel.
C. | SIMULCAST OPERATIONS |
We generate a significant portion of our revenues by transmitting signals of races from our racetracks to other facilities (export), and receiving signals from other tracks (import). Revenues are earned through pari-mutuel wagering on signals that we both import and export.
Churchill Downs, Arlington Park and Calder Race Course conduct simulcast wagering only during live race meets, while Hollywood Park, Hoosier Park and Ellis Park offer year-round
5 | ||
simulcast wagering. Our OTB in Kentucky primarily conducts simulcast wagering only when Churchill Downs is not operating a live race meet. The OTBs located in Indiana, Illinois and the Kentucky Off-Track Betting facilities conduct simulcast wagering year-round.
The Churchill Downs Simulcast Network (CDSN), the product content provider of the Company, will present 670 racing programs from our six racetracks to wagering outlets worldwide during 2002. The role of CDSN is to drive simulcast growth by marketing a superior simulcast product.
Off Track Betting FacilitiesDuring 2001 we renamed our nine OTBs Trackside to create a common identity for our OTB operations.
The Kentucky OTB is located in Louisville, Kentucky, about seven miles from the Churchill facility. This 100,000-square-foot property, on approximately 88 acres of land, is a Thoroughbred training and stabling annex which has state-of-the-art audio visual capabilities for pari-mutuel wagering. The OTB provides audio and visual technology, seating for approximately 3,000 persons, parking, offices and related facilities for simulcasting races.
Arlington Park also operates five OTBs that accept wagers on races at Arlington Park as well as on races simulcast from other locations. One OTB is located on the Arlington Park property, and two others are located in Rockford, Illinois consisting of approximately 8.6 acres, and Moline, Illinois on approximately 232.6 acres. Arlington Park also leases two OTBs, located in Waukegan, Illinois consisting of approximately 25,000 square feet and Chicago, Illinois consisting of approximately 19,700 square feet.
Hoosier Park owns and operates three OTBs providing a statewide distribution system for Hoosier Parks racing signal, and additional simulcast markets for our products. These OTBs are located in: Merrillville, located about 30 miles southeast of Chicago, which consists of approximately 27,300 square feet of space; Fort Wayne consists of approximately 15,750 square feet of space; and a third OTB is located in downtown Indianapolis where Hoosier Park leases approximately 24,800 square feet of space.
Kentucky Off-Track Betting, LLCWe are a 50% owner in Kentucky Off-Track Betting, LLC (KOTB) with two other Kentucky Thoroughbred racetracks. KOTBs purpose is to own and operate facilities for the simulcasting of races and the acceptance of wagers on such races at locations other than a racetrack. These OTBs may be located no closer than 75 miles from an existing racetrack without the racetracks consent and in no event closer than 50 miles to an existing racetrack. Each OTB must first be approved by the Kentucky Racing Commission (KRC) and the local government where the facility is to be located. KOTB currently owns or leases and operates OTBs in Corbin, Maysville, Jamestown and Pineville, Kentucky.
OTBs developed by KOTB provide additional markets for the intrastate simulcasting of and wagering on Churchill Downs and Ellis Parks live races and interstate simulcasting of and wagering on out-of-state signals. KOTB did not contribute
6 | ||
significantly to our operations in 2001 and is not anticipated to have a substantial impact on operations in the future. Our investment in KOTB is not material to the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In-Home WageringTechnological innovations have opened the distribution channels for live racing products to include in-home wagering. Television Games Network (TVG), affiliated with Gemstar-TV Guide International, Inc., offers high-quality live racing video signals in conjunction with its interactive television wagering system. We have entered into agreements to broadcast our racetrack simulcast products as part of TVGs programming content. This network is anticipated to eventually offer 24-hour-a-day programming throughout the United States that will be primarily devoted to developing new fans for racing. In jurisdictions where lawful, in-home patrons of TVG can wager on our live races as well as other race signals. As the originator of the live racing signal, we will receive a simulcast fee on in-home wagers placed on our races.
In the past, some representatives of the U.S. Justice Department have raised concerns whether interstate account wagering conducted through TVGs wagering hub would be legal under existing federal gambling laws. In addition, certain state attorneys general expressed concern over the legality of interstate account wagering. In December 2000, legislation was enacted amending the Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978 (IHA). We believe this legislation clarifies that simulcasting and account wagering conducted by the racing industry is authorized under federal law, but the full scope of the legislation is still unclear. In-home wagering related revenues are not material to our operations.
D. | OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE |
In addition to revenues generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and OTB facilities, we also generate revenues from simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy revenue, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees, lease income and other sources.
Financial information about our segments required by this Item is incorporated by reference to the information contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, included in Item 8 of this Report.
E. | LICENSES AND LIVE RACING DATES |
Kentuckys racetracks, including Churchill Downs and Ellis Park, are subject to the licensing and regulation of the KRC. Licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred race meets and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the KRC based upon applications submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky. Although to some extent Churchill Downs and Ellis Park compete with other racetracks in Kentucky for the award of racing dates, the KRC is required by state law to consider and seek to preserve each racetracks usual and customary live racing dates. Generally, there is no substantial change from year to year in the racing dates awarded to each racetrack.
7 | ||
We received approval from the KRC to conduct two live Thoroughbred racing meets at Churchill Downs from April 27 through July 7, 2002 (Spring Meet), and from October 27 through November 30, 2002 (Fall Meet), for a total of 82 days. Churchill Downs conducted live racing from April 28 through July 8, 2001, and from October 28 through November 24, 2001, for a total of 76 racing days which equaled the total of 76 racing days in 2000.
The KRC also awarded Ellis Park approval to conduct live Thoroughbred racing from July 10 through September 2, 2002, for a total of 41 live racing days. Ellis Park conducted live racing from July 11 through September 3, 2001, for a total of 41 racing days which equaled the total of 41 racing days in 2000.
In California, licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the California Horse Racing Board based upon applications submitted by California racetracks. Generally, there is no substantial change from year to year in the racing dates awarded to each racetrack. Hollywood Park has been approved to conduct two live Thoroughbred race meets from April 24 through July 21, 2002 (Spring/Summer Meet), and from November 6 through December 22, 2002 (Autumn Meet), for a total of 100 live racing days. Hollywood Park conducted the Spring/Summer Meet from April 20 through July 16, 2001, and the Autumn Meet from November 7 through December 17, 2001, for a total of 97 days combined compared to 100 days of racing during 2000.
In Florida, licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and to participate in simulcasting are approved by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering (DPW). The DPW is responsible for overseeing the network of state offices located at every pari-mutuel wagering facility, as well as issuing the permits necessary to operate a pari-mutuel wagering facility. The DPW also approves annual licenses for Thoroughbred, Standardbred and Quarter Horse races. Calder Race Course received approval from the DPW to conduct two consecutive live Thoroughbred race meets from April 26 through October 25, 2002 (Calder Meet), and from October 26, 2002 through January 2, 2003 (Tropical Meet), for a total of 182 days of live racing. In 2001, Calder Race Course conducted live racing from May 2 through November 3, 2001, and from November 4, 2001 through January 2, 2002, for a collective total of 174 days of racing which equaled the total of 174 days during the 2000 live racing season, which included 2 days of racing in January 2001.
Tax laws in Florida historically discouraged the three Miami-area racetracks in Florida from applying for licenses for race dates outside of their traditional racing season. Effective July 1, 2001, a new tax structure eliminated this deterrent. Accordingly, Calder Race Course may face direct competition from other Florida racetracks and may have the ability to increase live racing dates or lose live racing dates in the future.
In Illinois, licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and to participate in simulcasting are approved by the Illinois Racing Board. Arlington received approved to conduct live Thoroughbred racing from June 5 through October 27, 2002, for a total of 107 live racing days. Arlington Park conducted live Thoroughbred racing from June 13 through October 28, 2001, for a total of 102 live racing days compared to 103 days of live racing during 2000.
8 | ||
In Indiana, licenses to conduct live Standardbred and Thoroughbred race meets, including Quarter Horse races, and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the IHRC based upon applications submitted by Hoosier Park. Currently, Hoosier Park is the only facility in Indiana conducting pari-mutuel wagering on live Standardbred, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred racing and participating in simulcasting. The IHRC has approved Hoosier Park to conduct live Standardbred racing from April 13 through August 15, 2002, and live Thoroughbred racing from August 29 through December 1, 2002, for a total of 160 live racing dates. Hoosier Park conducted live racing from February 23 through August 22, 2001, and from September 7 through December 3, 2001, for a combined total of 193 days of racing during 2001 compared to 166 total days of racing during 2000. Management expects this reduction of live racing dates from 2001 to 2002 to have a beneficial impact on operating income. Indiana law requires us to conduct live racing for at least 120 days each year in order to simulcast races.
In May 2001, the IHRC granted a license for a second racetrack in Shelbyville, Indiana, about 32 miles from Hoosier Park. The IHRCs approval of the license was given with certain conditions, including legislative approval of alternative gaming before the track could open an OTB, and a required completion date of December 6, 2002 that could be enforced by fines and penalties. The addition of a second racetrack in Indiana could potentially impact Hoosier Parks share of the riverboat admissions revenue, create an increase in competition in the market and reduce the quality of racing. The impact of any of these factors could result in an adverse impact on long-term profitability of the facility.
The total number of days on which each racetrack conducts live racing fluctuates annually according to the calendar year. A substantial change in the allocation of live racing days at any of our six racetracks could significantly impact our operations and earnings in future years.
F. | COMPETITION |
North American bloodstock sales declined in 2001, a departure from the upward trend that began in 1995. According to The Jockey Club Fact Book, gross sales fell 22.5 percent in comparison to 2000. Bloodstock sales, particularly sales of broodmares and weanlings, were impacted by Mare Reproduction Loss Syndrome (MRLS) in spring 2001 and slowing economies in the United States and major world markets. The North American foal crop reached 36,800 in 2001, but is projected to decline in 2002 due to MRLS. The results of these declines could have an impact on the Thoroughbred population participating in live racing over the next several years.
We generally do not directly compete with other racetracks or OTBs for patrons due to geographic separation of facilities or differences in seasonal timing of meets. However, we compete with other sports, entertainment and gaming options, including riverboat, cruise ship and land-based casinos and lotteries, for patrons for both live racing and simulcasting. We attempt to attract patrons by providing high quality racing products in attractive entertainment facilities with fairly priced, appealing concession services.
We have successfully grown our live racing product and positioned ourselves to compete by strengthening our flagship operations, in anticipation of projected growth for in-home wagering simulcast markets, and geographically expanding our racing operations. We also
9 | ||
continue to seek asset utilization strategies for our racetrack facilities as a means to develop those facilities into earning assets year-round.
The development of riverboat gaming facilities began in Indiana pursuant to authorizing legislation passed by the state of Indiana in 1993. Illinois had previously authorized riverboat gaming. There are currently seven riverboat casinos operating on the Ohio River along Kentuckys border, including four in the southeastern Indiana cities of Vevay, Lawrenceburg, Rising Sun, and Florence; one in southwestern Indiana in Evansville, located one mile from Henderson, Kentucky; another is located in Harrison County, Indiana, 10 miles from Louisville, Kentucky; and one in Metropolis, Illinois.
In addition to those riverboats operating along the Ohio River, five riverboat casinos are located along the Indiana shore of Lake Michigan and four are situated in Illinois near Chicago. These riverboats have adversely impacted pari-mutuel wagering activities at our Merrillville, Indiana, OTB.
Arlington Park also faces competition from state lotteries and riverboat casino operations in northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana. There are also Indian gaming operations in Wisconsin which have drawn from the Chicago market as well. Two additional gaming operations have been proposed in Wisconsin along the Illinois border. An additional Chicago riverboat operation is pending in Rosemont, Illinois, approximately 12 miles from Arlington Park. The increased competition from these additional gaming operations serving the Chicago market could adversely affect our revenues and profits.
Additionally, several Native American tribes in Florida have expressed interest in opening casinos in southern Florida, which could compete with Calder Race Course. Construction of a casino operated by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, located approximately 10 miles from Calder Race Course, began in January 2001 and the casino is expected to be open during 2002. Also, the state of Michigan has approved a proposal by the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indian Tribe to develop a casino in New Buffalo, Michigan, which is approximately 45 miles from our Merrillville facility. The development of these casinos may negatively impact pari-mutuel activities at our nearby facilities.
The potential integration of alternative gaming products at our racetrack facilities is one of our four core business strategies developed to position us to compete in this changing environment. We have successfully grown our live racing product by implementing our other core business strategies by strengthening our flagship operations, increasing our share of the interstate simulcast market and geographically expanding our racing operations in Kentucky, California, Florida, Illinois and Indiana. Alternative gaming in the form of electronic gaming devices may enable us to more effectively compete with riverboat casinos and provide new revenue for purse money and capital investment.
G. | LEGISLATIVE CHANGES |
On February 26, 2002, a bill was filed in the Kentucky House of Representatives, which seeks to allow Kentuckys eight existing racetracks to operate electronic gaming devices
10 | ||
at racing facilities. These machines, which would be regulated by a newly created Kentucky Gaming Commission, would provide substantial new revenue for purses and capital improvements at Churchill Downs and Ellis Park. At this time, it is unclear whether this bill or a version of this bill will be enacted.
In 1999, the state of Illinois enacted legislation that provides for pari-mutuel tax relief and related tax credits for Illinois racetracks, as well as legislation providing for subsidies to Illinois horse racing tracks from revenues generated by the relocation of a license to operate a riverboat casino gaming facility. Arlingtons share of subsidies from the proposed Rosemont casino under the 1999 legislation would range from $4.6 million to $8.0 million annually, based on publicly available sources. In the event Arlington Park receives such subsidies, additional shares of common stock would be issued to Duchossois Industries, Inc., to a maximum of 1.25 million shares. In January 2001, the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) denied a license application of Emerald Casino, Inc. to operate the Rosemont casino. The group has the option to appeal the decision. The IGB may also award the license to other applicants in the future.
Additonal information regarding how our facilities could be impacted by legislative changes are included in Item7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-K.
H. | ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS |
The septic system at our Ellis Park facility must be replaced with a hook-up to city sewers. The cost of the hook-up is estimated by the City of Henderson, Kentucky to be $1.2 million. Ellis Park will seek partial reimbursement from the state of Kentucky. The project is expected to be completed in 2002.
In 1992, we acquired certain assets of Louisville Downs Incorporated for $5.0 million including the site of the Louisville OTB. In conjunction with this purchase, we withheld $1.0 million from the amount due to the sellers to offset certain costs related to the remediation of environmental contamination associated with underground storage tanks at the site. All of the $1.0 million hold back had been utilized as of December 31, 2001 and additional costs of remediation have not yet been conclusively determined. The sellers had previously received a reimbursement from the Commonwealth of Kentucky of $1.0 million for remediation costs, and that amount is now being held in an escrow account to pay further costs of remediation. Approximately $1.2 million, including interest on the escrow principal, remains in the account. The seller has submitted a Corrective Action Plan to the state and has reported to the state that all wells, with the exception of one, are below action. Well-testing continues and the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet will consider the course of action to take. In addition to the hold back, we have obtained an indemnity to cover the full cost of remediation from the prior owner of the property. We do not believe the cost of further investigation and remediation will exceed the amount of funds in the escrow.
It is not anticipated that we will have any material liability as a result of compliance with environmental laws with respect to any of our properties. Compliance with environmental laws
11 | ||
has not materially affected the ability to develop and operate our properties and we are not otherwise subject to any material compliance costs in connection with federal or state environmental laws.
I. | SERVICE MARKS |
We hold numerous state and federal service mark registrations on specific names and designs in various categories including entertainment business, apparel, paper goods, printed matter and housewares and glass.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Information set forth in this discussion and analysis contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ( the "Act") provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are made pursuant to the Act. These statements represent our judgment concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual operating results and financial condition to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "predict," "project," "should," "will," and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include: the effect of global economic conditions; the effect (including possible increases in the cost of doing business) resulting from future war and terrorist activities or political uncertainties; the impact of increasing insurance costs; the financial performance of our racing operations; the impact of gaming competition (including lotteries and riverboat, cruise ship and land-based casinos) and other sports and entertainment options in those markets in which we operate; a substantial change in law or regulations affecting our pari-mutuel activities; a substantial change in allocation of live racing days; litigation surrounding the Rosemont, Illinois, riverboat casino; changes in Illinois law that impact revenues of racing operations in Illinois; a decrease in riverboat admissions subsidy revenue from our Indiana operations; the impact of an additional racetrack near our Indiana operations; our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's top horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market; the impact of interest rate fluctuations; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; the economic environment; our ability to adequately integrate acquired businesses; market reaction to our expansion projects; the loss of our totalisator companies or their inability to keep their technology current; our accountability for environmental contamination; the loss of key personnel and the volatility of our stock price.
You should read this discussion together with the financial statements and other financial information included in the report. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
General Information About Our Business
We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing and simulcast signals of races. Additionally, we offer racing services through our other interests.
15 | ||
We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, which has conducted Thoroughbred racing since 1875 and is internationally known as the home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate Hollywood Park, a Thoroughbred racing operation in Inglewood, California, Arlington Park, a pari-mutuel horse racing operation in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Calder Race Course, a Thoroughbred racing operation in Miami, Florida, and Ellis Park, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Henderson, Kentucky. Additionally, we are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, which conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing. We conduct simulcast wagering on horse racing at nine simulcast wagering facilities in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, as well as at our six racetracks.
Because of the seasonal nature of our business and recent acquisitions and merger activity, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are likely not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. We normally earn a substantial portion of our net earnings in the second and third quarters of each year during which all our operations are open for some or all of this period and the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks are run. Information regarding racing dates at our facilities for 2001 and 2002 is included in Item 1E, Licenses and Live Racing Dates of this Form 10-K.
Our revenues are generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and off-track betting facilities, plus simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy revenue, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees, lease income and other sources.
In pari-mutuel wagering, all wagers are placed in a common pool. The pari-mutuel operator retains as revenue a pre-determined percentage of the total amount wagered, and the balance is distributed to the winning patrons. The percentages retained on live racing at our various locations range from 14.78% to 20.8%. In general, the commissions earned from simulcasting are contractually determined and range from 2.83% to 3.71%. All commissions earned from pari-mutuel wagering are shared with horsemen based on local contracts and average approximately 50%.
To compensate for the adverse impact of riverboat competition, the horse industry in Indiana presently receives $0.65 per $3 admission to riverboats in the state. During 2001, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission ("IHRC") required 70% of any revenue received from the subsidy to be used for purse expenses, breed development and reimbursement of approved marketing costs. The balance, with a ceiling of $6.8 million, was received by Hoosier Park.
At the start of 2002, the IHRC lifted the $6.8 million ceiling and now requires an allocation of 60% of any subsidy revenue to purse expenses and breed development. The remaining 40% will be split evenly between operating racetracks in Indiana, as long as the racetracks have at least 120 days of approved Standardbred and Thoroughbred live racing during the year.
In 2001, the IHRC approved an application for a second racetrack, scheduled to open in December of 2002. To the extent that the second racetrack runs both breeds and the required minimum number of days in 2003, Hoosier Park's share of the subsidy would be reduced. Under this scenario, it is likely Hoosier Park would re-evaluate the racing schedule for the future.
16 | ||
Legislation allowing pari-mutuel pull-tabs at approved racetracks and two Marion County OTBs - which also eliminates the requirement that riverboat casinos cruise while gaming is conducted - failed to move out of Conference Committee on the final day of the regular session of the Indiana General Assembly. However, the legislation could be introduced again later this year if lawmakers meet in a special session to deal with the states budget deficit. While this legislation would help Hoosier Park in competing with increased riverboat competition, it could have an adverse impact on our Kentucky operations if passed.
In Kentucky, two pieces of legislation significant to our operations were passed in the 2000 session of the Kentucky General Assembly. First, an excise tax credit for racetracks was included in the 2000-2002 Kentucky state budget. The measure results in an ultimate credit of nearly $1.4 million in new revenue, of which $0.6 million was received in 2001, and is earmarked for horsemen's incentives and necessary capital improvements at Churchill Downs over the next year. We are seeking to preserve the excise tax credit in the 2002-2004 Kentucky State Budget.
The Kentucky General Assembly also enacted legislation that eliminates the excise tax on Breeders' Cup Championship Day wagering at any Kentucky track that hosts the event. This legislation is aimed at attracting the Breeders' Cup to Kentucky, and Churchill Downs, on a more frequent basis. On-track wagering for the 2000 Breeders' Cup Day at Churchill Downs totaled $13.6 million and generated excise taxes of approximately $475,000. This tax exemption went into effect on January 1, 2001, and therefore did not apply to the 2000 Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs. The exemption will continue if the Breeders' Cup returns to Kentucky within three years of the previously held event.
Our business can be impacted positively and negatively by such legislative changes
and competition. Significant negative changes resulting from these activities
could result in a significant impairment of our property and equipment and/or our goodwill and
intangible assets in accordance with generallly accepted accounting standards described above.
For the
insurance renewal effective March 1, 2002, we assumed more risk than in the prior
year, as a result of higher retentions, higher maximum losses for stop-loss
insurance, etc., for certain coverage. In addition, property coverage for acts of terrorism has been
limited. Based on our historical loss experience, management does not
anticipate that this increased risk assumption will materially impact our results
of operations.
Additional information regarding how our facilities could be impacted by competition and legislative changes are included in Item 1F and 1G, respectively, in this Form 10-K.

18 | ||
Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $64.0 million (18%) from $363.0 million in 2000 to $427.0 million in 2001. Arlington Park revenues increased $68.1 million due to the timing of the September 8, 2000 merger. Churchill Downs racetrack, Hoosier Park and Calder Race Course had increases in revenues primarily due to increased handle during 2001. Increases were offset by a decrease in revenues at Hollywood Park primarily due to a decrease in attendance and handle as a result of the impact of the energy-related problems on the West Coast and the overall economic slowdown. Other investment revenues decreased as a result of the Arlington Park management contract that was in effect during the third quarter of 2000 prior to the closing of the Arlington Park merger.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $58.2 million (20%) from $287.4 million in 2000 to $345.6 million in 2001 primarily as a result of Arlington Park's increase in operating expenses of $55.1 million due to the timing of the merger. Hollywood Park had a decrease in operating expenses consistent with the decrease in pari-mutuel revenues described above.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $5.8 million (8%) from $75.6 million in 2000 to $81.4 million in 2001. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the merger with Arlington Park offset by a decrease in Hollywood Parks gross profit as a result of the overall decreases in revenues described above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $3.0 million (10%) from $29.1 million in 2000 to $32.1 million in 2001 as a result of the 2000 merger with Arlington Park.
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense decreased $2.2 million from $14.8 million in 2000 to $12.6 million in 2001 primarily due to the use of available cash to pay down our line of credit, as well as a reduction in interest rates on the revolving loan facility resulting from the improvement in our leverage ratios and an overall decrease in LIBOR interest rates.
Income Tax Provision
The increase in our income tax provision of $1.7 million for 2001 compared to 2000 is the result of an increase in pre-tax earnings offset by a decline in our effective income tax rate from 41.2% in 2000 to 40.7% in 2001 primarily as a result of the reduced impact of non-deductible expenses.
19 | ||
Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1999
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $104.6 million (40%) from $258.4 million in 1999 to $363.0 million in 2000. Churchill Downs racetrack revenues increased $7.1 million due primarily to $4.4 million of increased pari-mutuel wagering as a result of having an additional week of live racing, which was transferred from Ellis Park. In addition, Churchill Downs racetrack had increases in admissions and seat revenue as a result of record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Arlington Park contributed $14.8 million to 2000 net revenues. Hollywood Park revenues increased $75.1 million to $105.6 million in 2000 from $30.5 million in 1999 and Calder Race Course revenues increased $5.1 million to $77.5 million in 2000 from $72.4 million in 1999 due to the timing of the 1999 acquisitions. The Arlington Park merger was completed in the third quarter of 2000, Hollywood Park was acquired in the third quarter of 1999 and Calder Race Course was acquired in the second quarter of 1999. The remaining increase recorded in other investments represents the amounts earned from the Arlington Park management contract that was in effect during the third quarter of 2000 prior to the closing of the Arlington Park merger.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $80.0 million (39%) from $207.4 million in 1999 to $287.4 million in 2000 primarily as a result of $13.1 million of operating expenses of Arlington Park, incurred subsequent to the merger, and increases in Hollywood Park and Calder Race Course operating expenses of $60.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, due to the timing of the acquisitions.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $24.6 million (48%) from $51.0 million in 1999 to $75.6 million in 2000. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisition of Hollywood Park, the merger with Arlington Park and the increase in gross profit for Churchill Downs racetrack due to an increase in the number of live race days and record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. The Arlington Park management fee also contributed to the increased gross profit for 2000.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased by $10.5 million (57%) from $18.6 million in 1999 to $29.1 million in 2000. SG&A expenses at Churchill Downs corporate increased $3.3 million due primarily to increased corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The 1999 acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park resulted in increases of $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. In addition, Arlington Park had expenses of $2.8 million during 2000.
20 | ||
Other Income and Expense
Interest expense increased $7.0 million from $7.8 million in 1999 to $14.8 million in 2000 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park during 1999 resulting in a full year of interest expense on the borrowings during 2000. We received $2.5 million as a result of Centaur Racing, LLC's performance under an agreement to sell an additional 26% interest in Hoosier Park. These funds were subsequently expensed to set up Churchill Downs Foundation, Inc., a non-profit private charitable foundation pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for the purpose of funding future contributions to qualifying charitable, civic and community causes in locations where we do business.
Income Tax Provision
The Company's effective income tax rate declined from 42.1% in 1999 to 41.2% in 2000 primarily as a result of the reduced impact of non-deductible expenses.
Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2000
Accounts payable increased $6.7 million as a result of increases in purses payable and amounts due to horsemen, and horsemen's bank account balances not yet withdrawn, at Hoosier Park and Calder Race Course and the timing of payments for Hollywood Park's fall meet payables.
The long-term debt decrease of $22.9 million was the result of the use of current cash flows to reduce borrowings under our bank line of credit during 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The $3.0 million decrease in working capital between December 31, 2001 and 2000 is due primarily to the improved collection of accounts receivable in 2001. We generally operate with negative working capital, as cash generated daily by our operations is used to reduce our long-term revolving credit borrowings. During periods when we are conducting little or no live racing, funds from the line of credit facility are used for working capital needs. Management believes cash flows from operations and currently available borrowings will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the year.
Cash flows provided by operations were $48.3 million, $27.2 million and $39.7 million for years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net increase in cash provided by operations in 2001 as compared to 2000 was primarily a result of the timing of payments of purses payable, horsemen's cash balances and invoicing for special events and the impact of Arlington Park operations for a full year. The net decrease in cash provided by operations in 2000 compared to 1999 was primarily a result of the separate classification of restricted cash off-set by the impact of Arlington Park operations for a partial year.
21 | ||
Cash flows used in investing activities were $10.1 million, $17.5 million and $240.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. We used $14.6 million during 2001 for capital spending at our facilities compared to $22.4 million in 2000, including $3.0 million for completion of the expansion of Churchill Downs' main entrance and corporate offices during 2000. Capital expenditures were $12.1 million in 1999. We are planning capital expenditures, including the first phase of our Master Plan for the renovation of the Churchill Downs racetrack, of approximately $20.0 million for 2002. Cash used for 1999 business acquisitions consisted of $142.5 million for the acquisition of Hollywood Park during the third quarter, $82.4 million net of cash acquired for the acquisition of Calder Race Course during the second quarter and $2.9 million net of cash acquired for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first quarter.
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities were $(33.3) million, $(28.0) million and $223.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Cash flows from operations were used to reduce borrowings on our line of credit in 2001 and 2000. Cash provided by financing activities in 1999 were used to finance the aforementioned acquisitions.
We have a $250 million line of credit under a revolving loan facility, of which $124.7 million was outstanding at December 31, 2001. The credit facility contains financial covenant requirements, including specified fixed charge, minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios and minimum levels of net worth. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets and matures in 2004. This credit facility is intended to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for future acquisitions.
Our principal commitments at December 31, 2001 to make future payments consisted of repayments of borrowings under our revolving loan facility, capital lease obligations and obligations under operating lease agreements. Our contractual obligations at December 31, 2001 are summarized as follows ($ in thousands):
Contractual Obligation | Less than | 1-3 | 4-5 | After 5 | |||||||
1 year | years | years | years | Total | |||||||
Long-term debt | $430 | $132,182 | $589 | - | $133,201 | ||||||
Capital Lease Obligations | $131 | $16 | - | - | $147 | ||||||
Operating Leases | $2,007 | $4,298 | $1,365 | $743 | $8,413 |
We have also entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $35.0 million, $30.0 million and $35.0 million, which mature in May 2002, November 2002 and March 2003, respectively. The carrying amounts of the interest rate swaps are a payable of approximately $3.8 million at December 31, 2001. Information regarding interest rates on the swap agreements is included in Item 7A of this Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142),
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which establishes the
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets following their recognition.
FAS 142 applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets whether acquired
singly, as part of a group, or in a business combination. FAS 142 provides that
goodwill and other intangible assets believed to have indefinite lives should
not be amortized but should be tested for impairment annually using a fair-value
based approach. In addition, FAS 142 provides that other intangible assets other
than goodwill should be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of. FAS 142 is effective for the Company beginning
on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to perform a
transitional impairment test under FAS 142 for all goodwill recorded as of
January 1, 2002. Any impairment loss recorded as a result of completing the
transitional impairment test will be treated as a change in accounting
principle. While testing is not yet complete, management does not expect any
loss as a result of the impairment tests. The impact of the adoption of FAS 142 on
the Companys results
of operations for all periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002 will be to
eliminate amortization of goodwill. Management of the Company estimates a
reduction of $1.4 million in amortization expense for 2002 related to the
adoption of FAS 142.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). This statement also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The objectives of FAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of FAS 121 and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in FAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Management anticipates that the adoption of FAS 144 will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
At December 31, 2001, we had $124.7 million of debt outstanding under our revolving loan facility, which bears interest at LIBOR based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in the LIBOR rate. Assuming the outstanding balance on the revolving loan facility remains constant, a one-percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would reduce annual pre-tax earnings, recorded fair value and cash flows by $1.2 million. | |
In order to mitigate a portion of the market risk associated with our variable rate debt, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. Under terms of these separate contracts we receive a LIBOR based variable interest rate and pay a fixed interest rate of 7.015% and 7.30% on notional amounts of $35.0 million each which mature in March 2003 and May 2002, respectively. We have also entered into a contract in which we pay a fixed interest rate of 6.40% on a notional amount of $30.0 million which matures in November 2002. Assuming the December 31, 2001, notional amounts under the interest rate swap contracts remain constant, a one-percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would increase annual pre-tax earnings, recorded fair value and cash flows by $1.0 million. |

Basis of Presentation | |
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the Company) conducts pari-mutuel wagering on live race meetings for Thoroughbred horses and participates in intrastate and interstate simulcast wagering at its racetracks in Kentucky, California, Florida and Illinois. In addition, the Company, through its Indiana subsidiary Hoosier Park L.P. (Hoosier Park), conducts pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse races and participates in interstate simulcast wagering. The Companys Kentucky, California, Florida, Illinois and Indiana operations are subject to regulation by the racing commissions of the respective states. | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Churchill Downs California Company d/b/a Hollywood Park (Hollywood Park), Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. which hold licenses to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course (Calder Race Course), Arlington Park Racecourse, LLC and Arlington Management Services, LLC (Arlington Park), Ellis Park Race Course, Inc. (Ellis Park), Churchill Downs Management Company (CDMC), Churchill Downs Investment Company (CDIC) and Anderson Park Inc. (Anderson), and its majority-owned subsidiary, Hoosier Park, and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC (CBT). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys significant estimates include the valuation of carrying value and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and determination of expense related to self-insurance reserves. | |
A Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Followed Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has, from time to time, cash in the bank in excess of federally insured limits. | |

|
1. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) |
Plant and Equipment | |
Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: 10 to 40 years for grandstands and buildings, 3 to 18 years for equipment, 5 to 10 years for furniture and fixtures and 10 to 20 years for tracks and other improvements. | |
Intangible Assets | |
Amortization of the Indiana racing license and the Arlington Park trademarks are provided over 40 years using the straight-line method. Loan origination costs on the Companys line of credit are being amortized under the effective interest method over 60 months, the term of the loan. The intangible asset relating to the Illinois Horse Race Equity fund is not being amortized, as revenues relating to the intangible are not yet being recognized. | |
Long-lived Assets | |
In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of tangible or intangible long-lived assets or groups of assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the assets would be compared to the assets carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required. | |
Interest Rate Swaps | |
The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt. The fair value of the swaps is recorded on the balance sheet as an asset or liability with the offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income net of income taxes. Any changes in the market value of the swaps is adjusted to the asset or liability account and recorded net of the income taxes in other comprehensive income. | |
Deferred Revenue | |
Deferred revenue includes primarily advance sales related to the Kentucky Derby and Oaks races in Kentucky and other advanced billings on racing events. Revenues from these advance billings is recognized when the related event occurs. |

2. | Acquisitions and Other Transactions |
On December 3, 2001, we sold a 15% interest in Hoosier Park to Centaur Racing, LLC
(Centaur) for a purchase price of $4.5 million,
which included an assignment of an additional $3.6 million of
a loan owed to the Company by Hoosier Park. The Company retains
a 62% interest in Hoosier Park and will continue to manage its day-to-day
operations. Centaur now owns 38% of Hoosier Park and, through a Partnership
Interest Purchase Agreement, has options to purchase additional partnership
interests. On September 8, 2000, three of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries merged with Arlington International Racecourse, Inc., Arlington Management Services, Inc. and Turf Club of Illinois, Inc. (collectively referred to as Arlington Park). The Company issued 3.15 million shares of its common stock, with a fair value of $51.3 million, to Duchossois Industries, Inc. (DII) and could issue up to an additional 1.25 million shares of common stock dependent upon the opening of the riverboat casino at Rosemont, Illinois, and the amount of subsidies received by Arlington as a result thereof. For this purpose, the purchase price was recorded based upon the fair value of shares issued to DII at the announcement of the mergers on June 23, 2000, plus approximately $2.2 million in merger-related costs. The acquired tangible and intangible assets of $87.7 million and assumed liabilities of $34.1 million of Arlington Park were recorded at their estimated fair values on the merger date. The merger was accounted for by the Company as an asset purchase and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Arlington Park have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since the date of merger. The Company also received $5.8 million in management fees related to the Arlington Park |

On April 21, 2000, Keeneland Association, Inc. purchased the Companys
Thoroughbred training and boarding facility known as Kentucky Horse Center for a
cash payment of $5.0 million, which approximated its carrying value. On September 10, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the Hollywood Park and the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California, including approximately 240 acres of land upon which the racetrack and casino are located, for a purchase price of $140.0 million plus approximately $2.5 million in transaction costs. The Company leases the Hollywood Park Casino to the seller under a 10-year lease with one 10-year renewal option. The lease provides for annual rent of $3.0 million, subject to adjustment during the renewal period. The entire purchase price of $142.5 million was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as an asset purchase and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Hollywood Park have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition Corp. for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net working capital adjustment of approximately $2.9 million cash and $0.6 million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. The purchase price, including additional costs, of $89.5 million was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of $103.9 million and assumed liabilities of $14.4 million based on their fair values on the acquisition date with the excess of $49.4 million being recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. |

7. | Employee Benefit Plans |
The Company has a profit-sharing plan that covers all employees with one year or more of service and one thousand or more worked hours. The Company will match contributions made by the employee up to 3% of the employees annual compensation. The Company will also match at 50%, contributions made by the employee up to an additional 2%. The Company may also contribute a discretionary amount determined annually by the Board of Directors as well as a year end discretionary match not to exceed 4%. The Companys cash contribution to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $934, $986 and $819 respectively. | |
The Company is a member of a noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan for all members of the Pari-mutuel Clerks Union of Kentucky and several other collectively-bargained retirement plans which are administered by unions. Cash contributions are made in accordance with negotiated labor contracts. Retirement plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $1,869, $1,706 and $665, respectively. The Companys policy is to fund this expense as accrued. | |
The estimated present value of future payments under a supplemental benefit plan is charged to expense over the period of active employment of the employees covered under the plan. Supplemental benefit plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $290, $87 and $55, respectively. | |
The Company provides eligible executives and directors of the Company an opportunity to defer to a future date the receipt of base and bonus compensation for services as well as directors fees through a deferred compensation plan. The Company matching contribution on base compensation deferrals equals the matching contribution of the Companys profit-sharing plan with certain limits. The Companys cash contribution to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $47, $19 and $15 respectively. | |
8. | Long-Term Debt |
The Company has a $250 million line of credit under a revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions. The interest rate on the borrowing is based upon LIBOR plus 75 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined by certain Company financial ratios. The weighted average interest rate was 5.23% and 7.94% on the outstanding balance at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. There was $124.7 million outstanding on the line of credit at December 31, 2001 compared to $153.2 million and $178.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The credit facility contains financial covenant requirements, including specified fixed charge, minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios and minimum levels of net worth. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and matures in 2004. |

The loan requires interest at prime plus 2% (6.75% at December 31, 2001) payable monthly with principal due November 2004. The note is secured by 10% of the assets of Hoosier Park. | |
During 2001, CBT entered into a 5-year note payable, which expires in January 2007, bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.85%, and is secured by a general assignment of CBTs assets. There was $2.5 million outstanding on the note payable at December 31, 2001. The 5-year note payable replaces the short-term note payable with $2.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2000. | |

9. | Financial Instruments |
The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. Under terms of these separate contracts the Company receives a LIBOR based variable interest rate and pays a fixed interest rate of 7.015% and 7.30% on notional amounts of $35.0 million each which mature in March 2003 and May 2002, respectively. The Company has also entered into a contract in which the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 6.40% on a notional amount of $30.0 million which matures in November 2002. The variable interest rate paid on the contracts is determined based on LIBOR on the last day of each month, which is consistent with the variable rate determination on the underlying debt. |

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share data) |
|
9. | Financial Instruments (cont'd) |
Effective January 1, 2001 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133) which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative financial instrument be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value. The statement further requires that the gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments be recorded in the income statement unless certain hedge criteria are met. Gains and losses for qualifying hedges can be deferred in accumulated other comprehensive earnings and recognized in the income statement along with the related results of the hedged item. The statement requires that the Company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of such transactions in order to qualify for such hedge accounting treatment. | |
The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of anticipated interest payments under its variable rate agreements. Gains and losses on these swaps that are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive earnings will be reclassified into net earnings as net interest expense in the periods in which the related variable interest is paid. | |
The Company recorded a cumulative-effect-type deferred net loss adjustment of $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive earnings net of related tax benefit of $0.2 million to recognize the fair value of these swaps upon adoption of FAS 133 on January 1, 2001. The Company also expects to reclassify approximately $2.3 million of the December 31, 2001 net loss net of related tax benefit of $1.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive earnings into net earnings as net interest expense over the next twelve months. | |
10. | Operating Leases |
The Company has a long-term operating lease for the land in Anderson, Indiana on which its Hoosier Park facility is located and an operating lease for the Indianapolis off-track betting facility (OTB). The Anderson lease expires in 2003, with an option to extend the lease for three additional ten year terms. The Indianapolis lease expires in 2009, with an option to extend the lease for two additional five year terms. The leases include provisions for minimum lease payments as well as contingent lease payments based on handle or revenues. | |
The Company also has a long term operating lease agreement for land in Arlington Heights, Illinois on which the backside facilities of Arlington Park are located and two operating lease agreements for Arlington Park OTBs. The Arlington lease expires in 2010 with an option to purchase, one OTB lease expires in 2006 with an option to extend the lease for an additional five years and another OTB lease expires in 2003, with an option to purchase. |

11. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans |
Employee Stock Options: | |
The Company sponsors both the "Churchill Downs Incorporated 1997 Stock Option Plan" (the "97 Plan") and the "Churchill Downs Incorporated 1993 Stock Option Plan" (the "93 Plan"), stock-based incentive compensation plans, which are described below. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for both the plans. Pro forma disclosures as if the Company adopted the cost recognition provisions of SFAS 123 are presented below. | |
The Company is authorized to issue up to 600 shares and 400 shares of common stock under the 97 Plan and 93 Plan, respectively, pursuant to "Awards" granted in the form of incentive stock options (intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) and non-qualified stock options. Awards may be granted to selected employees of the Company or any subsidiary. | |
Both the 97 Plan and the 93 Plan provide that the exercise price of any incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of any nonqualified stock option is not so limited by the plans. The Company granted stock options in 2001, 2000 and 1999. The stock options granted in those years have contractual terms of 10 years and varying vesting dates, ranging from one to three years following the date of grant. In accordance with APB 25, the Company has not recognized any compensation cost for these stock options. |

11. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans (cont'd) |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan: | |
Under the Companys Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Employee Stock Purchase Plan), the Company is authorized to sell, pursuant to short-term stock options, shares of its common stock to its full-time (or part-time for at least 20 hours per week and at least five months per year) employees at a discount from the common stocks fair market value. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan operates on the basis of recurring, consecutive one-year periods. Each period commences on August 1 and ends on the next following July 31. | |
On the first day of each 12-month period, August 1, the Company offers to each eligible employee the opportunity to purchase common stock. Employees who elect to participate for each period have a designated percentage of their compensation withheld (after-tax) and applied to the purchase of shares of common stock on the last day of the period, July 31. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows withdrawals, terminations and reductions on the amounts being deducted. The purchase price for the common stock is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on (i) the first day of the period, or (ii) the last day of the period. No employee may purchase common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan valued at more than $25 for each calendar year. | |
Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company sold 14 shares of common stock to two hundred eight employees pursuant to options granted on August 1, 2000, and exercised on July 31, 2001. Because the plan year overlaps the Companys fiscal year, the number of shares to be sold pursuant to options granted on August 1, 2001, can only be estimated because the 2001-plan year is not yet complete. The Companys estimate of options granted in 2001 under the Plan is based on the number of shares sold to employees under the Plan for the 2000 plan year, adjusted to reflect the change in the number of employees participating in the Plan in 2001. |

12. | Fair Values of Financial Instruments |
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. | |
Long-Term Debt - The carrying amounts of the Companys borrowings under its line of credit agreements and other long-term debt approximates fair value, based upon current interest rates. | |
Interest Rate Swaps - The carrying amounts of the Companys interest rate swaps are a payable of approximately $3,764, $558 and $77, at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, using current interest rates. | |
13. | Commitments and contingencies |
The septic system at the Ellis Park facility must be replaced with a hook-up to city sewers. The cost of the hook-up is estimated by the city of Henderson, Kentucky to be $1.2 million. Ellis Park will seek partial reimbursement from the state of Kentucky. The project is expected to be completed in 2002. | |
It is not anticipated that the Company will have any material liability as a result of compliance with environmental laws with respect to any of the Companys property. Except as discussed herein, compliance with environmental laws has not affected the ability to develop and operate the Companys properties and the Company is not otherwise subject to any material compliance costs in connection with federal or state environmental laws. | |
The Company is also a party to various non-environmental legal proceedings and administrative actions, all arising from the ordinary course of business. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, the Company believes any liability that may finally be determined with respect to such legal proceedings should not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although resolution in any year or quarter could be material to the consolidated results of operations for that period. |

15. | Segment Information |
The Company has determined that it currently operates in the following seven segments: (1) Churchill Downs racetrack and its OTB facility (2) Hollywood Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility (3) Calder Race Course (4) Arlington Park and its OTBs (5) Ellis Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility, (6) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility and the other three OTB facilities and (7) Other investments, including CBT and the Companys other various equity interests which are not material. Eliminations include the elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions. | |
Most of the Companys recurring revenues are generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at the Companys racetracks and OTBs, plus simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy revenue, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees, lease income and other sources. | |
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for the year ended December 31, 2001. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) as a measure of our operating results or cash flows (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) or as a measure of our liquidity. |

16. | Significant Accounting Pronouncements |
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which establishes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets following their recognition. FAS 142 applies to all goodwill and other intangible assets whether acquired singly, as part of a group, or in a business combination. FAS 142 provides that goodwill and other intangible assets believed to have indefinite lives should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment annually using a fair-value based approach. In addition, FAS 142 provides that other intangible assets other than goodwill should be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. FAS 142 is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to perform a transitional impairment test under FAS 142 for all goodwill recorded as of January 1, 2002. Any impairment loss recorded as a result of completing the transitional impairment test will be treated as a change in accounting principle. While testing is not yet complete, management does not expect any loss as a result of the impairment tests. The impact of the adoption of FAS 142 on the Companys results of operations for all periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002 will be to eliminate amortization of goodwill. Management of the Company estimates a reduction of $1.4 million in amortization expense for 2002 related to the adoption of FAS 142. |

16. | Significant Accounting Pronouncements (contd) |
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). This statement also amends Accounting Research Bullentin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The objectives of FAS 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of FAS 121 and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in FAS 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Management anticipates that the adoption of FAS 144 will not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position. |
