PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

We are a leading promoter of motorsports entertainment activities in the United States. The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise; furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. We currently own and/or operate eleven of the nation's major motorsports facilities:

• Daytona International Speedway in Florida;
• Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama;
• Michigan International Speedway in Michigan;
• Richmond International Raceway in Virginia;
• California Speedway in California;
• Kansas Speedway in Kansas;
• Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona;
• Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida;
• Martinsville Speedway in Virginia;
• Darlington Raceway in South Carolina; and
• Watkins Glen International in New York.

In addition, Raceway Associates, LLC ("Raceway Associates"), in which we hold a 37.5% indirect equity interest, owns and operates two nationally recognized major motorsports facilities in Illinois:

• Chicagoland Speedway; and
• Route 66 Raceway.

In 2004, these motorsports facilities promoted well over 100 stock car, open wheel, sports car, truck, motorcycle and other racing events, including:

• 20 National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ("NASCAR") NEXTEL Cup Series events;
• 14 NASCAR Busch Series events;
• nine NASCAR Craftsman Trucks Series events;
• seven Indy Racing League ("IRL") IndyCar Series events;
• two National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA") POWERade drag racing events;
• the premier sports car endurance event in the United States (the Rolex 24 at Daytona sanctioned by the Grand American Road Racing Association ("Grand American")); and
• a number of prestigious motorcycle races.

Our business consists principally of racing events at these major motorsports facilities, which, in total, currently have more than one million grandstand seats. We generate revenue primarily from admissions, television, radio and ancillary rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including luxury suites, chalets and the hospitality portion of club seating), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of our trademarks and track rentals, as well as from catering, merchandise and food concession services at all of our wholly-owned motorsports facilities. We also own and operate the Motor Racing Network, Inc. radio network, or MRN Radio, the nation's largest independent motorsports radio network in terms of event programming, and DAYTONA USA-The Ultimate Motorsports Attraction, a motorsports-themed entertainment complex and the Official Attraction of NASCAR.

We have grown significantly in recent years through both internal and external initiatives. From fiscal 2000 through fiscal 2004, our revenues increased from approximately $418.4 million to $647.8 million, a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 11.6%. In particular, our motorsports related income increased from 39.3% of our total revenues in fiscal 2000 to 51.7% in fiscal 2004, a CAGR of 19.5%. We remain focused on several growth opportunities, including maximizing our media income and exposure and developing long-term marketing partnerships. These initiatives have broadened our financial stability through more predictable and recurring revenues and cash flows and should enable us to maintain our leadership position in the motorsports entertainment industry.

INCORPORATION

We were incorporated in 1953 under the laws of the State of Florida under the name "Bill France Racing, Inc." and changed our name to "Daytona International Speedway Corporation" in 1957. With the groundbreaking for Talladega Superspeedway in 1968, we changed our name to "International Speedway Corporation." Our principal executive offices are located at 1801 West International Speedway Boulevard, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114, and our telephone number is (386) 254-2700. We maintain a website at http://www.iscmotorsports.com. The information on our website is not part of this report.

OPERATIONS

The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. Our motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at our facilities, which include providing catering, merchandise and food concessions at all of our motorsports facilities that host NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series events. Our other operations include the DAYTONA USA motorsports entertainment complex, MRN Radio, our 37.5% equity investment in Raceway Associates and certain other activities. We derived approximately 84.9% of our 2004 revenues from NASCAR-sanctioned racing events at our wholly-owned facilities.

In addition to events sanctioned by NASCAR in fiscal 2004 we promoted other stock car, open wheel, sports car, motorcycle and go-kart racing events sanctioned by the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association ("AHRMA"), the American Motorcyclist Association ("AMA"), the Automobile Racing Club of America ("ARCA"), the Clear Channel - Championship Cup Series ("CCS"), the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile ("FIA"), the Federation Internationale Motocycliste ("FIM"), Grand American, Historic Sportscar Racing ("HSR"), the International Race of Champions ("IROC"), IPOWERacing, IRL, the National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA"), the Sports Car Club of America ("SCCA"), the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association ("SVRA"), the United States Auto Club ("USAC") and the World Karting Association ("WKA").

Americrown

We conduct, either through operations of the particular facility or through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries operating under the name "Americrown," souvenir merchandising operations, and food and beverage concession operations for customers at all of our motorsports facilities. In addition, we conduct catering services to customers both in suites and chalets at substantially all of our motorsports facilities. Americrown also produces and markets motorsports-related merchandise such as apparel, souvenirs and collectibles to retail customers, through internet and catalog sales, and directly to dealers.

DAYTONA USA

DAYTONA USA - The Ultimate Motorsports Attraction, our motorsports-themed entertainment complex, is located adjacent to the Daytona International Speedway and is open 364 days a year, everyday except Christmas.

DAYTONA USA includes (i) the Velocitorium, which covers approximately 60,000 square feet, stands nearly four stories high and contains numerous highly interactive motorsports exhibits (including the Acceleration Alley racing simulator, the Daytona Dream Laps motion ride film, Sixteen Second Pit Stop Challenge and the Toyota Tundra driving simulator), many of which are sponsored by leading consumer brands; (ii) the 258 seat Pepsi IMAX Theater featuring the Daytona 500 Movie; (iii) DAYTONA USA's Gatorade Victory Lane where the winning car of the current Daytona 500 winner is displayed; (iv) DAYTONA USA's Speedway Tours, a semi-automated tram tour of Daytona International Speedway's garage area, pit road, Gatorade Victory Lane and high-banked track; (v) the Richard Petty Driving and Riding Experience at Daytona; and (iv) for groups of 15 or more, the VIP Tour, which includes a tour of the NEXTEL Tower.

Adjoining DAYTONA USA are (i) the Daytona Beach Area Convention and Visitors Official Welcome Center; (ii) the Daytona International Speedway ticket office; (iii) Daytona SpeedPlay, a high-tech arcade using state of the art video technology; (iv) the Pit Shop, which sells DAYTONA USA, Daytona International Speedway, NASCAR and race teams' clothing, books, collectibles and other officially licensed merchandise; and (v) the Fourth Turn Grill concessions facility.

We believe that DAYTONA USA and these adjoining facilities appeal to individual tourists, tour groups, conventions and corporate sponsors, thereby (i) increasing the use of our Daytona facility, (ii) expanding our concessions and souvenir sales and (iii) providing greater visibility for our business and motorsports generally, which increases spectator interest.

MRN Radio

One of our subsidiaries, Motor Racing Network, Inc., does business under the name "MRN Radio," but is not a radio station. Rather, it creates motorsports-related programming content carried on radio stations around the country, including a national satellite radio service. MRN Radio produces and syndicates to radio stations live coverage of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, NASCAR Busch and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series races and certain other races conducted at our tracks, as well as some races conducted at tracks we do not own. Each track presently has the ability to separately contract for the rights to radio broadcasts of events held at its facilities. In addition, MRN Radio provides production services for NEXTEL Vision, the trackside large screen video display units, at all NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekends except at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is a track we do not own. MRN Radio also produces and syndicates daily and week ly NASCAR racing-themed programs. MRN Radio derives revenue from the sale of national advertising contained in its syndicated programming, the sale of advertising and audio and video production services for NEXTEL Vision, as well as from rights fees paid by radio stations that broadcast the programming.

Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway

We indirectly own 37.5% of Raceway Associates. Raceway Associates owns Chicagoland Speedway ("Chicagoland") and Route 66 Raceway. Route 66 Raceway hosts events including NHRA POWERade drag racing series events, dirt oval racing and concerts and has grandstands that seat approximately 30,000 spectators. Chicagoland is a 1.5-mile moderately banked, asphalt, oval track. The facility has grandstands, which seat approximately 75,000 spectators, and 24 luxury suites containing approximately 1,000 additional seats. Chicagoland promotes a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, NASCAR Busch Series, IRL IndyCar Series and Automobile Racing Club of America RE/MAX Series event.

Other Activities

From time to time, we use our track facilities for testing for teams, driving schools, riding experiences, car shows, auto fairs, concerts and settings for television commercials, print advertisements and motion pictures. We also rent "show cars" for promotional events. We operate Talladega Municipal Airport, which is located adjacent to Talladega. We rent certain warehouse and office space in Daytona Beach, Florida to third parties. We own property in Daytona Beach, Florida, upon which we conduct agricultural operations. Our Richmond facility includes a fairgrounds complex, which operates various non-motorsports related events. We recently invested in a company that is developing products to be marketed as secure radio frequency identification (RFID) cashless payment, access control and age verification systems.

COMPETITION

Racing events compete with other sports such as professional football, basketball, hockey and baseball, as well as other recreational events and activities. Our events also compete with other racing events sanctioned by various racing bodies such as NASCAR, IRL, CCS, USAC, SCCA, Grand American, ARCA and others, many of which are often held on the same dates at separate tracks. We believe that the type and caliber of promoted racing events, facility location, sight lines, pricing, variety of motorsports themed amusement options and level of customer conveniences and amenities are the principal factors that distinguish competing motorsports facilities.

EMPLOYEES

As of November 30, 2004, we had over 1,000 full-time employees. We also engage a significant number of temporary personnel to assist during periods of peak attendance at our events, some of whom are volunteers. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that we enjoy a good relationship with our employees.

Our SEC filings are available to the public over the internet at the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Our corporate headquarters and other offices and facilities are located in a portion of these facilities.  In addition, we own property in Daytona Beach, Florida, upon which we conduct agricultural operations.  We also own concession facilities in Talladega. We lease real estate and office space in Talladega, and the property and premises at the Talladega Municipal Airport.

The Kansas facility includes an adjacent Travel Information Center, which it operates on behalf of the State of Kansas. The Richmond facility includes a state fairgrounds complex that operates various non-motorsports events.

Through our majority-owned subsidiary 380 Development, we purchased approximately 677 acres in the New York City borough of Staten Island that could potentially be used for the development of a proposed motorsports and retail development project we are pursuing with Related Retail Corporation (the minority member of 380 Development). Substantially all of these properties were acquired after our fiscal year ended November 30, 2004. We are currently conducting a detailed feasibility study to further analyze construction costs, the level of public incentives and environmental impacts.  Whether we ultimately construct a track or pursue alternative options for the development of this New York real estate will largely depend on the results of this study.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On April 23, 2004, pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, we completed a private placement of $300.0 million principal amount of unsecured senior notes.  Subsequently, on September 27, 2004, we completed an offer to exchange the unsecured senior notes issued in the private placement for registered senior notes with substantially identical terms.  The registered notes and the notes issued in the private placement are collectively referred to herein as the "2004 Senior Notes."  The 2004 Senior Notes are comprised of $150.0 million principal amount unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 4.2% and are due April 2009, and $150.0 million principal amount unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 5.4% and are due April 2014.  The 2004 Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on April 15 and October 15 through their maturity.  

Total gross proceeds from the sale of the 2004 Senior Notes were $300.0 million, net of discounts of approximately $431,000 and approximately $2.6 million of deferred financing fees.  The initial purchasers of the 2004 Senior Notes were Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, Banc One Capital Markets, Inc., SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.  We were advised by the initial purchasers that the 2004 Senior Notes were issued only to "qualified institutional buyers" in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  

The Company used a substantial majority of the net proceeds from the transaction to redeem its existing $225 million 7.875 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2004, including the payment of redemption premium and accrued interest.  The remainder of the proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

(2)          Reflects the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which resulted in a non-cash after-tax charge of approximately $453.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. Included in this charge is approximately $3.4 million associated with our equity investment in Raceway Associates.

 

ITEM 7.                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

General

The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise; furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. We derive revenues primarily from (i) admissions to motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities held at our facilities, (ii) revenue generated in conjunction with or as a result of motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities conducted at our facilities, and (iii) catering, concession and merchandising services during or as a result of these events and amusement activities.

"Admissions" revenue includes ticket sales for all of our racing events, activities at DAYTONA USA and other motorsports activities and amusements.

"Motorsports related income" primarily includes television, radio and ancillary rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including luxury suites, chalets and the hospitality portion of club seating), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of our trademarks and track rentals. Our revenues from corporate sponsorships are paid in accordance with negotiated contracts, with the identities of sponsors and the terms of sponsorship changing from time to time. NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series schedules. NASCAR's current broadcast contracts with NBC Sports and Turner Sports extend through 2006 and through 2008 with FOX and its FX cable network (with the final two years at NASCAR's option). Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup or NASCAR Busch series event as a component of its sanction fees and remits the remaining 90% to the event promoter. The event promoter pays 25% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event as part of awards to the competitors.

"Food, beverage and merchandise income" includes revenues from concession stands, hospitality catering, direct sales of souvenirs, programs and other merchandise and fees paid by third party vendors for the right to occupy space to sell souvenirs and concessions at our facilities.

"Direct expenses" include (i) prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees, (ii) motorsports related expenses, which include costs of competition paid to sanctioning bodies other than NASCAR, labor, advertising and other expenses associated with the promotion of our motorsports events and activities, and (iii) food, beverage and merchandise expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of goods sold.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management continually reviews its accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in the financial statements. The following is a summary of our more significant accounting estimates and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. Advance ticket sales and event-related revenues for future events are deferred until earned, which is generally once the events are conducted. The recognition of event-related expenses is matched with the recognition of event-related revenues. Revenues and related expenses from the sale of merchandise to retail customers, catalog and internet sales and direct sales to dealers are recognized at the time of sale. We believe that our revenue recognition policies follow guidance issued by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."

Accounts Receivable. We review the valuation of our accounts receivable on a monthly basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write-offs and future expectations of conditions that might impact the collectibility of accounts.

Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our consolidated balance sheets include significant amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Current accounting standards require testing these assets for impairment based on assumptions regarding our future business outlook. While we continue to review and analyze many factors that can impact our business prospects in the future, our analyses are subjective and are based on conditions existing at and trends leading up to the time the assumptions are made. Actual results could differ materially from these assumptions. Our judgments with regard to our future business prospects could impact whether or not an impairment is deemed to have occurred, as well as the timing of the recognition of such an impairment charge.

Insurance. We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks including general liability, workers' compensation, vehicle liability and employee-related health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that we retain are estimated by considering various historical trends and forward looking assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends.

Derivative Instruments. From time to time, we utilize derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to assist in managing our interest rate risk. We do not enter into any derivative instruments for trading purposes. All of our derivative instruments qualify, or have qualified, for the use of the "short-cut" method of accounting to assess hedge effectiveness in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, and are recognized in our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. The fair values of our derivative investments are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement.

Income Taxes. Our estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in our financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. Actual income taxes could vary significantly from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or changes or adjustments resulting from final review of our tax returns by taxing authorities, which could also adversely impact our cash flow.

Contingent Liabilities. Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on our view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. In the ordinary course of business we consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and other experts both within and outside our Company. We accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable. We disclose the matter but do not accrue a liability if either the likelihood of an adverse outcome is only reasonably possible or an estimate is not determinable. Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Acquisition and Divestiture

On July 13, 2004, we acquired the assets of Martinsville Speedway ("Martinsville"), and assumed the operations as well as certain liabilities of Martinsville for approximately $194.7 million, including acquisition costs. Martinsville was privately owned, with certain members of the France Family Group, which controls in excess of 60% of the combined voting interest of the Company, owning 50% of Martinsville. The acquisition was funded by $100.4 million in proceeds from the sale of the assets of North Carolina Speedway ("North Carolina") and approximately $94.3 million in cash. Martinsville's operations are included in our consolidated operations subsequent to the date of acquisition.

Located in Virginia near Greensboro and Winston-Salem, Martinsville is one of only two one-half mile tracks on the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series circuit. It seats approximately 64,000 grandstand spectators and offers premium accommodations in the facility's 25 suites. Martinsville annually conducts two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series event weekends, including one during the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup which was included in our fiscal 2004 results of operations. In addition, Martinsville hosts a NASCAR Late Model Stock Car event annually. These events strengthen our presence in the motorsports industry and afford us further expansion opportunities in terms of seat and suite additions, as well as increased fan amenities.

As required by the settlement agreement in the Ferko/Vaughn litigation ("Settlement Agreement") dated April 8, 2004, our North Carolina Speedway, Inc. subsidiary entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. ("SMI") for the sale of the tangible and intangible assets and operations of North Carolina. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, SMI's subsidiary purchased North Carolina's assets and assumed its operations for approximately $100.4 million in cash. The sale of North Carolina's assets closed on July 1, 2004 and we recorded an after-tax gain in our third quarter of fiscal 2004 of approximately $36.3 million.

For all periods presented, the results of operations of North Carolina, including the gain on sale, are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets". See "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" below regarding the classification of Nazareth Speedway ("Nazareth") as discontinued operations as well.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value to be recognized for long-lived assets, if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In May 2004, we announced our intention to request realignment of the NASCAR Busch Series and Indy Racing League IndyCar Series events, currently conducted at Nazareth, to other motorsports facilities within our portfolio and our intention to suspend indefinitely major motorsports event operations at the facility after completion of its fiscal 2004 events. We believe that we can more successfully grow these events over the long term at a facility other than Nazareth. For the 2005 event season, the aforementioned events have been realigned to our Watkins Glen facility.

The realignment of the events conducted at Nazareth and the indefinite suspension of major motorsports event operations at the facility are expected to have a significant adverse effect on Nazareth's future revenues and cash flows. As a result of these changes in Nazareth's operations, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 an analysis of Nazareth's long-lived assets and their estimated future undiscounted cash flows was completed. The projected undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of Nazareth's property and equipment. We evaluated Nazareth's long-lived assets' estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow assessment as well as comparable prices for similar property, which resulted in the identification and measurement of an impairment loss of approximately $13.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

During our fourth fiscal quarter we decided to pursue the sale of our Nazareth property. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, for all periods presented the results of operations of Nazareth, including the impairment charge recorded in fiscal 2004, are presented as discontinued operations.

Equity Investment

We acquired approximately 24.5% interest in Proximities, Inc. ("Proximities") in November 2004 through the purchase of Proximities' Series B Preferred Stock for approximately $2.0 million. Proximities is developing products which are to be marketed as secure radio frequency identification (RFID) cashless payment, access control and age verification systems. These products allow customers to purchase concessions and merchandise quickly and easily using the fast, secure payment station which is linked to a pre-authorized credit card. Proximities is a variable interest entity as determined in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." We do not consolidate the operations of Proximities as we are not the primary beneficiary. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with Proximities consists of our equity investment at November 30, 2004 of approximately $2.0 million.

Future Trends in Operating Results

Our success has been, and is expected to remain, dependent on maintaining good working relationships with the organizations that sanction events at our facilities, particularly with NASCAR, whose sanctioned events at our wholly-owned facilities accounted for approximately 84.9% of our revenues in fiscal 2004. In January 2003, NASCAR announced it would entertain and discuss proposals from track operators regarding potential realignment of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series dates to more geographically diverse and potentially more desirable markets where there may be greater demand, resulting in an opportunity for increased revenues to the track operators. In June 2003, we announced that NASCAR approved our proposal for realignment of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series events among certain of our facilities for the 2004 season. The net result of these realignments was that The California Speedway ("California") hosted an additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekend during the Labor Day weekend beginning in 200 4 and the schedule of events at North Carolina was reduced to one NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekend in February 2004. Further, in May 2004 we received NASCAR's approval for the realignment of additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup events in our portfolio beginning in fiscal 2005. The net results of the 2005 realignments is the addition of a second NEXTEL Cup weekend for Phoenix International Raceway ("Phoenix") beginning in 2005 and the reduction of Darlington Raceway's ("Darlington") event schedule by one NEXTEL Cup weekend. The 2004 realignments resulted in a net positive impact to our fiscal 2004 revenue and earnings and provided an opportunity to increase the sport's exposure in highly desirable markets, which we believe benefits the sport's fans, teams, sponsors and television broadcast partners as well promoters. We believe that the 2005 realignments will provide us additional net positive revenue and earnings impact as well as further enhance the other aforementioned benefits.  NAS CAR has indicated that it is open to discussion regarding additional date realignments. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on these future opportunities.

Fiscal 2001 was our first year under NASCAR's multi-year consolidated television broadcast rights agreements with NBC Sports, Turner Sports, FOX and FX. These agreements cover the domestic broadcast of NASCAR's NEXTEL Cup and Busch series racing seasons from 2001 through 2006. We expect media rights revenues, as well as variable costs tied to the percentage of broadcast rights fees required to be paid to competitors as part of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series sanction agreements, to continue to increase over the term of the current contracts based on NASCAR's announcement that the annual increase in the domestic television rights fees will range between 15% and 21% from 2001 through 2006. Television broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations received from NASCAR for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted at our wholly-owned facilities for fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $188.9 million, $140.8 million and $120.5 million, respectively.

NASCAR prize and point fund monies, as well as sanction fees ("NASCAR direct expenses"), are outlined in the sanction agreement for each event and are negotiated in advance of an event. As previously discussed, included in these NASCAR direct expenses are 25% of the gross domestic television broadcast rights fees allocated to our NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events as part of prize and point fund money. These annually negotiated contractual amounts paid to NASCAR contribute to the support and growth of the sport of NASCAR stock car racing through payments to the teams and sanction fees paid to NASCAR. As such, we do not expect these costs to decrease in the future as a percentage of admissions and motorsports related income. We anticipate any operating margin improvement to come primarily from economies of scale and controlling costs in areas such as motorsports related and general and administrative expenses.

Current and future economic conditions may impact our ability to secure revenues from corporate marketing partnerships. However, we believe that our presence in key markets and impressive portfolio of events are beneficial as we continue to pursue renewal and expansion of existing marketing partnerships and establish new corporate marketing partners. We believe that revenues from our corporate marketing partnerships will continue to grow over the long term.

An important component of our operating strategy has been our long-standing practice of focusing closely on supply and demand regarding additional capacity at our facilities. We continually evaluate the demand for our most popular racing events in order to add capacity that we believe will provide an acceptable rate of return on invested capital. Through prudent expansion, we attempt to keep demand at a higher level than supply, which stimulates ticket renewals and advance sales. Advance ticket sales result in earlier cash flow and reduce the potential negative impact of actual and forecasted inclement weather on ticket sales. While we will join with sponsors and offer promotions to generate additional ticket sales, we avoid rewarding last-minute ticket buyers by discounting tickets. We believe it is more important to encourage advance ticket sales and maintain price integrity to achieve long-term growth than to capture short-term incremental revenue. We recognize that a number of factors relating to di scretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment and other lifestyle and business conditions, can negatively impact attendance at our events. Based upon recent economic conditions, we instituted only modest increases in our weighted average ticket prices for fiscal 2005. In addition, we limited the expansion of capacity at our facilities in fiscal 2004 to approximately 1,400 additional seats at our Richmond facility that were sold on a season basis. We will add approximately 1,600 additional seats at Kansas Speedway ("Kansas") and 900 club seats along with six incremental suites at Michigan International Speedway ("Michigan") for the fiscal 2005 event season. We will continue to evaluate expansion opportunities, as well as the pricing and packaging of our tickets and other products, on an ongoing basis. Over the long term, we plan to continue to expand capacity at our speedways.

From time to time, we are a party to routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

The postponement or cancellation of one or more major motorsports events could adversely impact our future operating results. A postponement or cancellation could be caused by a number of factors, including inclement weather, a general postponement or cancellation of all major sporting events in this country (as occurred following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks), a terrorist attack at any mass gathering or fear of such an attack, conditions resulting from the war with Iraq or other acts or prospects of war.

Comparison of Fiscal 2004 to Fiscal 2003

As previously discussed, in July 2004 we sold the assets and operations of our North Carolina facility.  Further, motorsport event operations were suspended at Nazareth at the end of the 2004 season and its long-lived assets are held for sale at November 30, 2004. As a result, the results of operations for North Carolina and Nazareth are recorded as discontinued operations in all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144.  This is of particular significance in the comparison of fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2003 due to event realignment in fiscal 2004. The net result of this realignment was that California hosted an additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekend beginning in 2004 and the schedule of events at North Carolina was reduced from two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekends in fiscal 2003 to one in fiscal 2004. While the results of the 2004 event weekend realigned to California is included in our fiscal 2004 operating revenues and expenses, the fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 event results of North Carolina are recorded in discontinued operations.

Admissions revenue increased approximately $18.8 million, or 9.3%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and our purchase of Martinsville in July 2004, which resulted in the addition of a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend in our fourth fiscal quarter. Strong attendance at many of our other fiscal 2004 events, as well as an increase in the weighted average price of tickets sold for certain events, also contributed to the increase.  These increases were partially offset by admissions decreases at certain Speedweeks events supporting our sold-out Daytona 500, including the NASCAR Busch Series event which was rescheduled to the following Monday due to inclement weather.

Motorsports related income increased approximately $69.7 million, or 26.3%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. Over three-quarters of the increase was attributable to the increase in television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted during the year, the realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and the acquisition of Martinsville. Sponsorship, advertising, hospitality, camping and other event related revenues also contributed to the increase.

Food, beverage and merchandise income increased approximately $9.2 million, or 12.4%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. These increases were primarily attributable to the realignment of an additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California, our Americrown subsidiary performing services at non-ISC venues in 2004 as well as assuming certain merchandise operations that were conducted by third party vendors paying us a commission on sales in prior years and revenues from the additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend at Martinsville. Increased attendance at certain events, catering sales and sales at the gift shop adjacent to DAYTONA USA also contributed to the increases. These increases were offset by sales at the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert held at Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona") in June 2003, for which no comparable event was held in 2004, and by nonrecurring income of approximately $1.6 million recorded in the 2003 fiscal period related to our ongoing activities to audit third party vendors' sales reports for prior years.

Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased approximately $22.4 million, or 23.2%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. Over one-half of the increase was attributable to the realignment of an additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and the additional NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend at Martinsville. Increased prize and point fund monies paid by NASCAR to participants in comparable events during fiscal 2004 also contributed significantly to the increase. Over three-quarters of these increases were attributable to the increased television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted during fiscal 2004, as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements require that a specified percentage of broadcast rights fees be paid to competitors.

Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $15.1 million, or 15.4%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. The increases were primarily attributable to the realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and the acquisition of Martinsville, increased operating costs for comparable events and activities conducted during fiscal 2004, costs related to our MRN Radio subsidiary's NEXTEL Vision program (video production services for at-track large screen video displays) and certain strategic marketing initiatives. These increases were partially offset by the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert held at Daytona in June 2003 and certain expenses related to the 2003 CART Champ Car weekend at California which was postponed and later cancelled due to wildfires in the region. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related income decreased to approximately 20.3% in fiscal 2004 as compared to 20.9 % for the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to t he increased television broadcast rights fees, partially offset by the increases in operating costs for comparable events and certain strategic marketing costs.

Food, beverage and merchandise expense increased approximately $11.0 million, or 26.7%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. These increases were primarily attributable to increased sales at many of our comparable events and the gift shop adjacent to DAYTONA USA, Americrown's assumption of certain merchandise operations that were conducted by third party vendors paying us a commission on sales in prior years, the realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and the acquisition of Martinsville. Increased product and other variable costs associated with our Americrown subsidiary performing services at certain non-ISC venues in fiscal 2004 also contributed to the increase. These increases are partially offset by costs of the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert held at Daytona in June 2003. Food, beverage and merchandise expenses as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise income increased from approximately 55.7% in fiscal 2003 to approximately 62.8% in fis cal 2004. This margin decrease was primarily attributable to Americrown's assumption of certain operations that were conducted by third party vendors paying us a commission on sales in prior years, Americrown's expansion to certain non-ISC venues, which contributed a lower margin than ordinarily achieved at ISC owned facilities, and the previously discussed nonrecurring income of approximately $1.6 million related to third party vendor audits recorded in the prior year which contributed to the favorable margin during that period.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $7.9 million, or 9.6%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily attributable to a net increase in certain costs related to the growth of our core business, increases in other general expenses including Martinsville, strategic development costs and non-cash charges of approximately $1.0 million related to undepreciated assets removed in renovations at Daytona and Michigan in fiscal 2004. The increases are partially offset by the CART Champ Car sanction fee for the cancelled event at California recorded as a bad debt expense in fiscal 2003. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from approximately 15.0% in fiscal 2003 to approximately 13.9% in fiscal 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in television broadcast right fees and revenues from the realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend to California and the acquisition of Ma rtinsville, partially offset by the previously described expense increases.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $3.6 million, or 8.8%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. These increases are primarily attributable to the track reconfiguration project at Homestead-Miami Speedway ("Miami") completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the installation of SAFER (steel and foam energy reduction) walls at most of our facilities, seat and suite additions at our Richmond facility, a new pedestrian/vehicular tunnel at Phoenix and other ongoing improvements to our facilities. Our acquisition of Martinsville in July 2004 also contributed to the increase.

Interest income increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 126.6%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. This increase was primarily due to higher cash balances in the current year.

Interest expense decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 6.3%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003. On April 23, 2004, we closed on a private placement of $150 million 4.20 percent senior notes due 2009, and $150 million 5.40 percent senior notes due 2014 (collectively the "2004 Senior Notes"). We used a substantial majority of the net proceeds from the transaction to redeem our existing $225 million 7.875 percent senior notes issued in October 1999 and due October 15, 2004 ("1999 Senior Notes"), including the payment of redemption premium and accrued interest on May 28, 2004. We continued to incur interest of approximately $1.6 million on our previously existing 1999 Senior Notes from April 23, 2004 through May 28, 2004. In addition to the decrease in interest rate for the 2004 Senior Notes as compared to the previously outstanding 1999 Senior Notes, amortization of premiums on interest rate swaps, increases in capitalized interest and a decrease in the amount outstanding on a term loan for our Miami facility also contributed to the decrease in interest expense during fiscal 2004.

As discussed above, we used the proceeds from our 2004 Senior Notes to redeem and retire all of our outstanding 1999 Senior Notes. As a result, during fiscal 2004 we recorded approximately $5.0 million loss on early retirement of debt comprised of a redemption premium of approximately $5.3 million, associated unamortized net deferred financing costs and unamortized original issuance discount, which were partially offset by gain recognition on unamortized deferred interest rate swap terminations associated with the 1999 Senior Notes.

Equity in net income from equity investments represents our pro rata share of the current income from our 37.5% equity investment in Raceway Associates and, to a much lesser extent, our 24.5% equity investment in Proximities. Raceway Associates owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway. 

Our effective income tax rate remained relatively constant in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003, with an increase in our blended state tax rate offset by an increase in tax exempt interest income included in income from continuing operations.

As a result of the foregoing, our income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of accounting change increased from approximately $102.0 million to approximately $126.3 million, or 23.9%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003.

The operations and gain on sale of North Carolina and the operations of Nazareth are presented as discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased from approximately $105.4 million to approximately $156.3 million, or 48.2%, in fiscal 2004 as compared to fiscal 2003.

Comparison of Fiscal 2003 to Fiscal 2002

During fiscal 2003, inclement weather, and the threat of inclement weather, adversely impacted many of our major events including:

• Several events during Speedweeks 2003, including the Daytona 500;
• The March motorcycle events at Daytona, including the Daytona 200 Superbike event, which was rescheduled to the following Monday;
• The March NASCAR events at Darlington, including its NASCAR Busch Series event, which was rescheduled to the following Monday;
• The April NASCAR events at Talladega Superspeedway ("Talladega") where we believe race week sales were impacted by the threat of inclement weather;
• The August events, including the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event, at Watkins Glen International ("Watkins Glen"); and
• The November CART Champ Car and supporting events scheduled at California, which were postponed and later cancelled due to a state of emergency declared in San Bernadino County, California and surrounding counties as a result of wildfires in the region.

In addition, we believe that the economic downturn, coupled with ongoing geopolitical issues, had a significant negative impact on attendance-related revenues in fiscal 2003.

Our fiscal 2003 results, as compared to fiscal 2002, were also impacted by the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert to benefit the Dale Earnhardt Foundation, which was hosted at Daytona in June 2003. In connection with this event, Daytona made donations, received a rental fee and provided certain event support services, and our Americrown subsidiary provided certain concessions, catering and merchandising services.

Admissions revenue decreased from approximately $ 205.8 million to approximately $203.7 million, or 1.0%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the cancellation of the CART Champ Car weekend and other instances of inclement weather, as well as the impact of general economic and geopolitical conditions as described above. These decreases were partially offset by increased seating capacity at Richmond and Kansas and increased attendance at several events including the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup weekend at the newly reconfigured Homestead-Miami Speedway. Our Miami track was reconfigured prior to its 2003 NASCAR events in order to increase the track banking to a maximum of 20 degrees in the turns through an innovative variable-degree banking system, which succeeded in enhancing the quality of the racing entertainment at this facility.

Motorsports related income increased approximately $23.5 million, or 9.7%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. Substantially all of the increase was attributable to the television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted during the year. Hospitality, sponsorship, advertising, track rentals and licensing revenues also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by the cancellation of the CART Champ Car weekend at California and a decrease in the entitlement fees for the August NASCAR NEXTEL Cup event at Michigan.

Food, beverage and merchandise income increased approximately $4.6 million, or 6.6%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. Our Americrown subsidiary's assumption of food concession and catering operations at California, which were operated by a third party vendor that paid California a commission in prior years, a non-recurring $1.6 million payment related to our ongoing activities to audit third party vendors and the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert at Daytona contributed significantly to the increase during fiscal 2003. These increases were partially offset by the lower food, beverage and merchandise sales attributable to previously discussed attendance decreases.

Other income decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 16.0%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to a gain on the sale of real property in the third quarter of fiscal 2002.

Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased approximately $9.5 million, or 10.9%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. Over three-quarters of the increase was due to increased prize and point fund monies paid by NASCAR to participants in events during the periods. Over one-half of these increases were attributable to the increased television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted during fiscal 2003, as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements require that a specified percentage of broadcast rights fees be paid to competitors.

Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $3.6 million, or 3.8%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily related to increases in consumer marketing initiatives and event related costs for comparable events, including insurance, as well as expenses related to the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert at Daytona, partially offset by the cancellation of the CART Champ Car event weekend. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related income decreased from approximately 21.1% in fiscal 2002 to approximately 20.9% in fiscal 2003 primarily due to the increase in television broadcast rights fees and the cancellation of the CART Champ Car event weekend, partially offset by the previously discussed increased costs.

Food, beverage and merchandise expense increased approximately $3.6 million, or 9.7%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. Costs associated with our Americrown subsidiary's assumption of food concession and catering operations at California, which were operated by a third party vendor that paid California a commission in prior years, and expenses related to the Dale Earnhardt Tribute Concert at Daytona contributed significantly to the increase during fiscal 2003. These increases were partially offset by decreased product and other variable costs associated with previously discussed decreases in sales associated with lower attendance at certain events. Food, beverage and merchandise expenses as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise income increased from approximately 54.1% in fiscal 2002 to approximately 55.7% in fiscal 2003. This margin decrease was primarily attributable to the expenses related to the assumption of food concession and catering operations at C alifornia, holding certain retail price points constant despite increasing product costs, and the relationship of decreased sales to certain fixed costs. This decrease was partially offset by the previously discussed non-recurring income related to our ongoing activities to audit third party vendors' sales reports for prior years.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $6.1 million, or 8.0%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with certain ongoing legal proceedings, a write-off related to our claim for the return of the sanction fee paid to CART for the cancelled CART Champ Car event (as described below), and other expenses related to the expansion of our ongoing business, partially offset by decreases in certain other operating expenses and professional fees. The November CART Champ Car and supporting events scheduled at California were postponed and later cancelled due to a state of emergency declared in San Bernadino County, California and surrounding counties as a result of wildfires in the region. Subsequent to the cancellation, CART refused to return the $2.5 million Organization and Rights fee ("Sanction Fee") we paid to them in advance of the event in accordance with terms of the Official Organize r/Promoter Agreement ("Agreement") for the event. As a result, we filed a Complaint for Declaratory Relief with the U.S. District Court, Central District of California against CART, Inc. seeking declaration that the wildfires constituted a "force majeure" as described in the Agreement. Per the terms specified in the Agreement, we are due back the $2.5 million Sanction Fee paid to CART, less a mutually agreed upon amount for legitimate expenses reasonably incurred by CART in preparing for the event. While we feel we have a solid legal position regarding the return of the Sanction Fee, recent bankruptcy court proceedings involving CART have indicated that a full recovery of the amount paid, less any legitimate pre-event expenses, is highly unlikely. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from approximately 14.6% in fiscal 2002 to approximately 15.0% in fiscal 2003. The increase is primarily the result of the previously discussed legal fees and charge related to the write-off of our claim for return of the CART Champ Car event Sanction Fee, partially offset by the increase in television broadcast rights fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $2.7 million, or 7.0%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. These increases were primarily attributable to certain strategic initiatives implemented in mid fiscal 2002 and ongoing capital improvements at our facilities.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2003 we recorded a non-cash before-tax charge of approximately $2.8 million for the net book value of certain undepreciated assets removed in connection with a major track reconfiguration project at Miami. As previously discussed, the project increased the track banking to a maximum of 20 degrees in the turns through an innovative variable-degree banking system, which enhanced the quality of the racing entertainment at this facility. The reconfiguration project was completed for our fourth quarter fiscal 2003 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, NASCAR Busch and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series events.

Interest income increased by approximately $602,000, or 50.7%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. These increases were primarily due to higher cash balances in fiscal 2003.

Interest expense decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 4.5%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest expense resulting from the payoff of our revolving credit facilities in the prior year was partially offset by an increase in interest expense from our Senior Notes due to an interest rate swap agreement in place in the prior year that was terminated in August 2002.

Equity in net income from equity investments represents our pro rata share of the current income from our 37.5% equity investment in Raceway Associates. Raceway Associates owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway.

The increase in our effective income tax rate in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002, was primarily attributable to an increase in our blended state tax rate.

As a result of the foregoing, our income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of accounting change decreased from approximately $103.2 million to approximately $102.0 million, or 1.2%, in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002.

The operations of North Carolina and Nazareth are presented as discontinued operations, net of tax, for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 144. As previously discussed, the sale of North Carolina's assets to SMI closed on July 1, 2004 and motorsport event operations at Nazareth were suspended at the end of the 2004 season and its long-lived assets held for sale.

The cumulative effect of accounting change recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2002 consists of the non-cash after-tax charges associated with our write-off of goodwill, as well as the write-off of goodwill by Raceway Associates, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 1, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs and capital expenditures at existing facilities, as well as to pay an annual cash dividend. In addition, we have used the proceeds from offerings of our Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, borrowings under our credit facilities and state and local mechanisms to fund acquisitions and development projects. At November 30, 2004, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling approximately $276.0 million, $300.0 million principal amount of senior notes outstanding, total borrowings of $7.0 million under a term loan, and a debt service funding commitment of approximately $69.5 million principal amount related to the taxable special obligation revenue ("TIF") bonds issued by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas ("Unified Government"). We had working capital of approximately $14 9.9 million at November 30, 2004. At November 30, 2003 we had a working capital deficit of $104.8 million primarily due to the 1999 Senior Notes, which were repaid in full in May 2004 with the proceeds from issuance of the 2004 Senior Notes.

Our current liquidity is primarily generated from our ongoing motorsports operations, and we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future. In addition, we have the full amount available to draw upon under our $300.0 million revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility"), if needed. See "Future Liquidity" for additional disclosures relating to our Credit Facility and certain risks that may affect our near term operating results and liquidity.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $226.0 million for fiscal 2004, compared to approximately $194.7 million for fiscal 2003. The difference between our net income of approximately $156.3 million and the approximately $226.0 million of operating cash flow was primarily attributable to:

• deferred income taxes of approximately $52.1 million;
• depreciation and amortization of approximately $45.7 million;
• an increase in income taxes payable of approximately $18.4 million;
• the approximately $13.2 million non-cash charge related to the impairment of Nazareth's long-lived assets;
• an increase in accounts payable, deferred income and other current liabilities of approximately $12.4 million;
• an approximately $5.0 million loss on early retirement of our 1999 Senior Notes; and
• amortization of unearned compensation and financing costs of approximately $2.0 million;

These differences were partially offset by an approximately $63.9 million gain on the sale of North Carolina's assets, an increase in receivables of approximately $11.0 million, undistributed income from equity investments of approximately $2.8 million and an increase in inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets of approximately $2.6 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $233.5 million for fiscal 2004, compared to approximately $69.9 million for fiscal 2003. Our use of cash for investing activities reflects approximately $195.3 million for the acquisition of businesses, substantially consisting of the acquisition of Martinsville, approximately $135.2 million in capital expenditures and approximately $2.0 million for the purchase of our 24.5% interest in Proximities. This use of cash is partially offset by approximately $100.4 million in proceeds from the sale of North Carolina.

Net cash from financing activities was approximately $59.3 million for fiscal 2004, compared to approximately $10.1 million used in financing activities for fiscal 2003. The approximately $299.6 million in proceeds from the issuance of our 2004 Senior Notes and approximately $2.8 million in proceeds from an interest rate swap were partially offset by our use of cash for financing activities including approximately $231.9 million for the early redemption of our 1999 Senior Notes and payments of other term debt, approximately $5.3 million for the related redemption premium, approximately $2.6 million in deferred financing fees and a cash dividend paid of approximately $3.2 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled approximately $135.2 million for fiscal 2004, compared to approximately $72.6 million for fiscal 2003. Capital expenditures during fiscal 2004 related primarily to our previously announced multi-faceted infield renovation project at Daytona, acquisition of land and land improvements for expansion of parking, camping capacity and other uses, the installation of SAFER (steel and foam energy reduction) walls at several facilities, track lighting projects at California, Darlington and Phoenix, increased grandstand seating capacity at Richmond, construction of an IMAX theater at DAYTONA USA, the purchase of equipment and other assets associated with our food, beverage and merchandising operations and a variety of other improvements and renovations to our facilities.

Based on capital projects currently approved, we expect to make capital expenditures totaling approximately $110.7 million subsequent to November 30, 2004, which are expected to be completed within the next 24 months. This includes the acquisition of land and land improvements at various facilities for expansion of parking, camping capacity and other uses, improvements at Michigan including the previously discussed club seating and suite additions, the installation of and completion of track lighting projects at Miami, Phoenix, California and Darlington, the completion of our multi-faceted infield renovation project at Daytona, the purchase of equipment and other assets associated with our food, beverage and merchandising operations, increased grandstand seating capacity at Kansas, the completion of the installation of SAFER (steel and foam energy reduction) walls at several facilities, and a variety of other improvements and renovations to our facilities.

As a result of these currently approved projects and estimated additional approvals in fiscal 2005, we expect our total fiscal 2005 capital expenditures will be approximately $100 million.

We review the capital expenditure program periodically and modify it as required to meet current business needs.

Future Liquidity

On April 23, 2004, we completed an offering of $300.0 million principal amount of unsecured senior notes in a private placement. On September 27, 2004, we completed an offer to exchange the 2004 Senior Notes for registered senior notes with substantially identical terms. At November 30, 2004, outstanding 2004 Senior Notes totaled approximately $301.6 million, net of unamortized discounts and premium, which is comprised of $150.0 million principal amount unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 4.2% and are due April 2009, and $150.0 million principal amount unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 5.4% and are due April 2014. The 2004 Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments beginning October 15, 2004 through their maturity. The 2004 Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at our option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in the indenture. Our subsidiaries are guarantors of the 2004 Senior Notes.

Total gross proceeds from the sale of the 2004 Senior Notes were $300.0 million, net of discounts of approximately $431,000 and approximately $2.6 million of deferred financing fees. The deferred financing fees will be treated as additional interest expense and amortized over the life of the 2004 Senior Notes on a straight line method, which approximates the effective yield method. In March 2004, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively lock in the interest rate of approximately $150.0 million of the 4.2% Senior Notes. We terminated these interest rate swap agreements on April 23, 2004 and received approximately $2.2 million, which is being amortized over the life of the 4.2% Senior Notes.

In January 1999, the Unified Government issued approximately $71.3 million in TIF bonds in connection with the financing of construction of Kansas Speedway. At November 30, 2004 outstanding TIF bonds totaled approximately $68.2 million, net of the unamortized discount, which is comprised of a $19.8 million principal amount, 6.15% term bond due December 1, 2017 and a $49.7 million principal amount, 6.75% term bond due December 1, 2027. The TIF bonds are repaid by the Unified Government with payments made in lieu of property taxes ("Funding Commitment") by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kansas Speedway Corporation. Principal (mandatory redemption) payments per the Funding Commitment are payable by Kansas Speedway Corporation on October 1 of each year. The semi-annual interest component of the Funding Commitment is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Kansas Speedway Corporation granted a mortgage and security interest in the Kansas project for its Funding Com mitment obligation. We have agreed to guarantee Kansas Speedway Corporation's Funding Commitment until certain financial conditions have been met. In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds ("2002 STAR Bonds") totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse us for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the Kansas Speedway's boundaries and are not our obligation. Kansas Speedway Corporation has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal, any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At November 30, 2004, the Unified Government had $5.8 million in 2002 STAR Bonds outstanding. Under a keepwell agreement, we have agreed to provide financial assistance to Kansas Speedway Corporati on, if necessary, to support its guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

Our $300.0 million Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in September 2008, and accrues interest at LIBOR plus 62.5 - 150 basis points, based on our highest debt rating as determined by specified rating agencies. At November 30, 2004, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Our Miami subsidiary's $7.0 million Term Loan is guaranteed by us. The final payment under the Term Loan was paid on December 31, 2004. Our Miami subsidiary had an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixed the floating rate on the outstanding balance under the Term Loan at 5.60% plus 50-100 basis points, based on certain consolidated financial criteria. This interest rate swap expired on December 31, 2004.

We are a member of Motorsports Alliance, LLC ("Motorsports Alliance") (owned 50% by us and 50% by Indianapolis Motor Speedway LLC), which owns 75% of Raceway Associates. Raceway Associates owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway. Raceway Associates has a term loan arrangement, which requires quarterly principal and interest payments and matures November 15, 2012, and a $15 million secured revolving credit facility, which matures September 15, 2005. At November 30, 2004, Raceway Associates had approximately $38.0 million outstanding under its term loan and no borrowings outstanding under its credit facility. Under a keepwell agreement, the members of Motorsports Alliance have agreed to provide financial assistance to Raceway Associates, if necessary, on a pro rata basis to support performance under its term loan and credit facility.

At November 30, 2004, we had contractual cash obligations to repay debt and to make payments under operating agreements, leases and commercial commitments in the form of guarantees and unused lines of credit.

Payments due under these long-term obligations are as follows as of November 30, 2004 (in thousands):

		Obligations Due by Period
	Total	Less Than One Year	2-3 Years	4-5 Years	After 5 Years
Long-term debt	$ 376,495	$ 7,505	$ 1,405	$ 151,990	$ 215,595

Total Commercial Commitments	$ 326,603	$ 4,928	$ 6,120	$ 305,705	$ 9,850

During fiscal 1999, we announced our intention to search for a site for a major motorsports facility in the New York metropolitan area. Our efforts have included the evaluation of many different locations. Most recently we identified a combination of land parcels in the New York City borough of Staten Island that could potentially be utilized for the development of a major speedway. Through our majority-owned subsidiary, 380 Development, we have closed on the purchases of approximately 677 total acres for approximately $110.0 million, substantially all of which were acquired after our fiscal year ended November 30, 2004. The aggregate of these parcels represents the largest block of undeveloped land in the five boroughs of New York City. The properties are part of a proposed motorsports and retail development project the Company is pursuing with Related Retail Corporation (the minority member of 380 Development), a retail specialist whose develo pments include the Time Warner Center in Manhattan and the Gateway Retail Center in Brooklyn. The proposed project is expected to consist of a three-quarter-mile, high-banked motorsports facility with approximately 80,000 grandstand seats and 64 luxury suites, complemented by a 50-acre retail center featuring nationally known stores offering year-round shopping opportunities. ISC currently expects the speedway portion of the development will cost between $550 and $600 million, including the aforementioned land purchases, and could open in late 2009 or 2010. While we believe a facility in New York provides significant long-term strategic value for ISC, these property acquisitions are only small steps in a long and complex process. In addition to working closely with the appropriate governmental agencies responsible for approval and permitting, we are conducting a detailed feasibility study to further analyze construction costs, determine the level of public incentives, and review environmental impacts includi ng traffic, noise, air quality and remediation required, if any. Whether we ultimately construct a track or pursue alternative options for the development of this prime New York real estate will largely depend on the results of this study. During fiscal 2004, we capitalized approximately $9.3 million in legal and other professional fees relating to due diligence and feasibility studies, as well as other costs related to our negotiations, through our majority-owned subsidiary, for the purchase of these parcels.

In light of NASCAR's publicly announced position regarding additional potential realignment of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series schedule, we also believe there are potential development opportunities in new, underserved markets across the country. As such, we have been and are exploring opportunities for public/private partnerships targeted to develop one or more motorsports facilities in new markets, including the Pacific Northwest.  We recently announced that after preliminary due diligence on a site proposed by Snohomish County and the City of Marysville, Washington, it was determined the site-specific costs of such a project were beyond what was originally anticipated. As a result, Snohomish County and Marysville withdrew their proposal, which has allowed us to resume exploration of other potential locations. While we remain optimistic in our ability to construct a motorsports facility in this region of the country, it is too early to tell if the necessary public participation will materialize or i f it will be sufficient to allow for the development of such a facility.

Our cash flow from operations consists primarily of ticket, hospitality, merchandise, catering and concession sales and contracted revenues arising from television broadcast rights and marketing partnerships. While we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future, our financial results depend significantly on a number of factors relating to consumer and corporate spending, including economic conditions affecting marketing dollars available from the motorsports industry's principal sponsors. Consumer and corporate spending could be adversely affected by economic, security and other lifestyle conditions, resulting in lower than expected future operating cash flows. General economic conditions were significantly and negatively impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the war with Iraq and could be similarly affected by any future attacks or fear of such attacks, or by conditions resulting from other acts or prospects of war. Any future attacks or wars or related threats could also increase our expenses related to insurance, security or other related matters. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") is currently performing a periodic examination of our federal income tax returns for the years ended November 30, 1999 through 2003 and is examining the tax depreciation treatment for a significant portion of our motorsports entertainment facility assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," we have accrued a deferred tax liability based on the differences between our financial reporting and tax bases of such assets in our consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2004. We believe that our application of the federal income tax regulations in question, which have been applied consistently since being adopted in 1986 and have been subjected to previous Service audits, is appropriate and we intend to vigorously defend the merits of our position, if necessary. While an adverse resolution of these matters could result in a material negative impact on cash flow, we believe that we have provided adequate reserves in our consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2004, and, as a result, do not expect that such an outcome would have a material adverse effect on results of operations.

While the items discussed above could adversely affect our financial success and future cash flow, we believe that cash flows from operations, along with existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available borrowings under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund:

• operations and approved capital projects at existing facilities for the foreseeable future;
• payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Government's debt service requirements related to the TIF bonds;
• payments related to our existing debt service commitments;
• any potential payments associated with our keepwell agreements; and
• any adjustment that may ultimately occur as a result of the examination by the Service.

We intend to pursue further development and/or acquisition opportunities (including the possible development of new motorsports facilities, such as the New York metropolitan area, the Pacific Northwest and other areas), the timing, size and success, as well as associated potential capital commitments of which, are unknown at this time. Accordingly, a material acceleration in our growth strategy could require us to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that adequate debt and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our operating costs and earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003 and as revised in December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Prior to this interpretation, two enterprises generally had been included in consolidated financial statements because one enterprise controls the other through voting interests. This interpretation defines the concept of "variable interests" and requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks among the parties involved. Our adoption of this interpretation in fiscal 2004 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004 the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment."  SFAS No. 123R sets accounting requirements for "share-based" compensation to employees and requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation. SFAS No. 123R is effective in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in our third quarter of fiscal 2005 and currently disclose the effect on net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share of the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on our financial position and results of operations, including the valuation methods and support for the assumptions that underlie the valuation of the awards.

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29."  SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Our adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. Our interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates and the LIBOR rate. In order to manage this exposure, we use a combination of debt instruments, including the use of derivatives in the form of interest rate swap agreements. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading purposes.

The objective of our asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of interest income and liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. We utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that our interest rate risk related to our cash equivalents and short-term investments is material due to the nature of the investments.

Our objective in managing our interest rate risk on our debt is to maintain a balance of fixed and variable rate debt that will lower our overall borrowing costs within reasonable risk parameters. Interest rate swaps are used from time to time to convert a portion of our debt portfolio from a variable rate to a fixed rate or from a fixed rate to a variable rate.

The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding our exposure to interest rate risk. We utilize valuation models to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value of financial instruments with exposure to market risk that assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented, primarily due to the assumption that interest rates change instantaneously. In addition, the analyses are unable to reflect the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled.

As described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, we have various debt instruments that are issued at fixed and variable rates of interest. These financial instruments, which have a fixed rate of interest, are exposed to fluctuations in fair value resulting from changes in market interest rates. The fair values of long-term debt and interest rate swaps are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. Our credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. At November 30, 2004, our debt outstanding with a variable rate of interest has an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the floating rate, therefore, a hypothetical increase in interest rates by 1% would not result in an increase in our interest expense. At November 30, 2004, the fair value of our total long-term debt as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was $383.5 million. The potential decrease in fair value resulting from a h ypothetical 10% shift in interest rates would be approximately $14.4 million at November 30, 2004.

From time to time we utilize derivative investments in the form of interest rate swaps to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. The notional amount, interest payment and maturity dates of the swaps match the terms of the debt they are intended to modify. The fair value of our interest rate swap on the Term Loan at November 30, 2004 was a liability of approximately $22,000. The Term Loan was repaid and the related interest rate swap expired on December 31, 2004.

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts on a net basis. However, we minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting counter parties to large banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines. We do not expect to incur any losses as a result of counter party default.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

International Speedway Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International Speedway Corporation and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2004. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of International Speedway Corporation and subsidiaries at November 30, 2003 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of International Speedway Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated January 28, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 in 2002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

International Speedway Corporation

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management on International Speedway Corporation's Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that International Speedway Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). International Speedway Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Report of Management on International Speedway Corporation's Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of a motorsports entertainment complex acquired during 2004, which is included in the 2004 consolidated financial statements of International Speedway Corporation and constituted $206 million of total assets and an immaterial amount of net assets as of November 30, 2004 and an immaterial amount of revenues and net income for the year then ended. Management did not assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting at this motorsports entertainment complex because of the timing of the acquisition which was completed in July 2004. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of International Speedway Corporation also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of this motorsports entertainment complex.

In our opinion, management's assessment that International Speedway Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria.  Also, in our opinion, International Speedway Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of International Speedway Corporation and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2003 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 2004, and our report dated January 28, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

                                                                                NOVEMBER 30, 2004

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: International Speedway Corporation, including its wholly‑owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"), is a leading promoter of motorsports entertainment activities in the United States. As of November 30, 2004, the Company owned and/or operated eleven of the nation's major motorsports facilities as follows:

Track Name	Location	Track Length
Daytona International Speedway	Daytona Beach, Florida	2.5 Miles
Talladega Superspeedway	Talladega, Alabama	2.6 Miles
Michigan International Speedway	Brooklyn, Michigan	2.0 Miles
Richmond International Raceway	Richmond, Virginia	0.8 Miles
California Speedway	Fontana, California	2.0 Miles
Kansas Speedway	Kansas City, Kansas	1.5 Miles
Phoenix International Raceway	Phoenix, Arizona	1.0 Mile
Homestead-Miami Speedway	Homestead, Florida	1.5 Miles
Martinsville Speedway	Martinsville, Virginia	0.5 Miles
Darlington Raceway	Darlington, South Carolina	1.3 Miles
Watkins Glen International	Watkins Glen, New York	3.4 Miles

In addition, Raceway Associates, LLC ("Raceway Associates"), in which the Company holds a 37.5% indirect equity interest, owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway, two nationally recognized major motorsports facilities in Joliet, Illinois.

In fiscal 2004, these motorsports facilities promoted well over 100 stock car, open wheel, sports car, truck, motorcycle and other racing events, including 20 National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ("NASCAR") NEXTEL Cup Series events, 14 NASCAR Busch Series events, nine NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series events, seven Indy Racing League ("IRL") IndyCar Series events, two National Hot Rod Association ("NHRA") POWERade drag racing series events, the premier sports car endurance event in the United States (the Rolex 24 at Daytona sanctioned by the Grand American Road Racing Association ("Grand American")) and a number of prestigious motorcycle events.

The general nature of the Company's business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company's motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at these major motorsports facilities, which, in total, currently have more than one million grandstand seats. The Company also conducts, either through operations of the particular facility or through certain wholly-owned subsidiaries operating under the name "Americrown," souvenir merchandising operations, and food and beverage concession operations for customers at all of its motorsports facilities. In addition, the Company conducts catering services to customers both in suites and chalets at substantially all of its motorsports facilities. Americrown also produces and markets motorsports-related merchandise such as apparel, souvenirs and collectibles to retail customers, through internet and catalog sales and direct ly to dealers.

MRN Radio, the Company's proprietary radio network, produces and syndicates to radio stations the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, NASCAR Busch and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series races and certain other races conducted at the Company's tracks, as well as some races from tracks the Company does not own. In addition, MRN Radio provides production services for NEXTEL Vision, the trackside large screen video display units, at all NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series event weekends except at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which is a track not owned by the Company. MRN Radio also produces and syndicates daily and weekly NASCAR racing-themed programs.

The Company owns and operates DAYTONA USA - The Ultimate Motorsports Attraction, a motorsports-themed entertainment complex and the Official Attraction of NASCAR that includes interactive media, theaters, historical memorabilia and exhibits, tours, as well as riding and driving experiences of Daytona International Speedway.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand deposit accounts, overnight sweep accounts and highly liquid, variable rate instruments used in the Company's cash management program.

The Company maintained its cash and cash equivalents primarily with two financial institutions at November 30, 2004. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances due to the strength of the financial institutions.

RECEIVABLES: Receivables are stated at their estimated collectible amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write offs and future expectations of conditions that might impact the collectibility of accounts.

INVENTORIES: Inventories of items for resale are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first‑in, first‑out basis, or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment, including improvements to existing facilities, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings, grandstands and tracks	10-30 years
Furniture and equipment	3-8 years

The carrying values of property and equipment are evaluated for impairment based upon expected future undiscounted cash flows. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS: Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company's equity in the net income from equity investments is recorded as income with a corresponding increase in the investment. Dividends received reduce the investment. The Company recognizes the effects of transactions involving the sale or distribution by an equity investee of its common stock as capital transactions.

Equity investments consist of the Company's interests in Motorsports Alliance, LLC ("Motorsports Alliance") and Proximities, Inc ("Proximities").

Motorsports Alliance (owned 50% by the Company and 50% by Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp.), owns a 75% interest in Raceway Associates. Raceway Associates owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway.

Proximities is developing products which are to be marketed as secure radio frequency identification (RFID) cashless payment, access control and age verification systems. These products allow customers to purchase concessions and merchandise quickly and easily using the fast, secure payment station which is linked to a pre-authorized credit card. The Company acquired an approximately 24.5% interest in Proximities in November 2004 through the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock for approximately $2.0 million.  Proximities is a variable interest entity as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board "FASB" Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities."  The Company does not consolidate the operations of Proximities as it is not the primary beneficiary.  The company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Proximities consists of its equity investment at November 30, 2004 of approximately $2.0 million.

The Company's share of undistributed equity in the earnings from equity investments included in retained earnings at November 30, 2003 and 2004 was approximately $2.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: On December 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 142 the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets are evaluated annually for impairment, in its fiscal fourth quarter, based upon expected future discounted cash flows at the reporting unit level.

DEFERRED FINANCING FEES: Deferred financing fees are amortized over the term of the related debt and are included in other non-current assets.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: From time to time the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuations on certain long-term borrowings with fixed and floating interest rates. All of the Company's interest rate swap agreements qualify, or have qualified, for the use of the "short-cut" method of accounting to assess hedge effectiveness in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended and are recognized in its consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. The differential paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap, which is established as an effective hedge, is included in other comprehensive income.

INCOME TAXES: Income taxes have been provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

REVENUE RECOGNITION/DEFERRED INCOME: Admission income and all race-related revenue is earned upon completion of an event and is stated net of admission and sales taxes collected. Advance ticket sales and all race‑related revenue on future events are deferred until earned. Revenues from the sale of merchandise to retail customers, catalog and internet sales, and direct sales to dealers are recognized at the time of the sale.

Kansas Speedway Corporation ("KSC") offers Preferred Access Speedway Seating ("PASS") agreements, which give purchasers the exclusive right and obligation to purchase KSC season-ticket packages for certain sanctioned racing events annually through fiscal year 2030, under specified terms and conditions. Among the conditions, licensees are required to purchase all season-ticket packages when and as offered each year. PASS agreements automatically terminate without refund should owners not purchase any offered season tickets.

Net fees received under PASS agreements are deferred and are amortized into income over the term of the agreements which expire in fiscal 2030. Long-term deferred income under the PASS agreements total approximately $11.1 million and $10.8 million at November 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

ADVERTISING EXPENSE: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or, as in the case of race‑related advertising, upon the completion of the event. Race-related advertising included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at November 30, 2003 and 2004 was approximately $419,000 and $749,000, respectively. Advertising expense from continuing operations was approximately $10.2 million, $10.7 million and $12.1 million for the years ended November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

LOSS CONTINGENCIES: Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: The Company has a long-term incentive stock plan, which is described more fully in Note 15. The Company accounts for its long-term incentive stock plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. The Company recognizes stock-based employee compensation cost on its restricted shares awarded over their vesting periods in an amount equal to the fair market value of these shares on the date of award. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss) relating to stock options as all options granted under the plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock based employee compensation for the years ended November 30 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2002	2003	2004
Net (loss) income, as reported	$ (410,978)	$    105,448	$    156,318
Add: Stock-based employee compensation
expense included in reported net (loss)

Deduct: Stock-based employee
compensation expense determined under
fair value based method for all awards, net

Pro forma net (loss) income	$ (411,199)	$    105,226	$    156,118
(Loss) earnings per share:
Basic - as reported	$       (7.75)	$          1.99	$          2.94
Basic - pro forma	$       (7.75)	$          1.98	$          2.94
Diluted - as reported	$       (7.74)	$          1.98	$          2.94
Diluted - pro forma	$       (7.74)	$          1.98	$          2.94

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In January 2003 and as revised in December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board "FASB" issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Prior to this interpretation, two enterprises generally had been included in consolidated financial statements because one enterprise controls the other through voting interests. This interpretation defines the concept of "variable interests" and requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks among the parties involved. The Company's adoption of this interpretation in fiscal 2004 did not have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2004 the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment."  SFAS No. 123R sets accounting requirements for "share-based" compensation to employees and requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation. SFAS No. 123R is effective in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company will be required to adopt SFAS No. 123R in its third quarter of fiscal 2005 and currently discloses the effect on net (loss) income and (loss) earnings per share of the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on its financial position and results of operations, including the valuation methods and support for the assumptions that underlie the valuation of the awards.

In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 153 "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29."  SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 153 is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

COMPARABILITY: For comparability, certain 2002 and 2003 amounts have been reclassified where appropriate to conform with the presentation in 2004.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGE

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," in the first quarter of 2002. Based on an independent appraisal firm's valuation of the reporting unit level fair value using discounted cash flows, which reflect changes in certain assumptions after the date of the acquisitions, and the identification of qualifying intangibles, the Company recorded a non-cash after tax charge of $449.8 million as a cumulative effect of accounting change for the write-off of goodwill attributable to its continuing operations in the first quarter of 2002.

Raceway Associates which owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway and in which the Company holds a 37.5% indirect equity interest, also adopted SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter of 2002. During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, Raceway Associates completed the valuation of its Route 66 Raceway reporting unit using discounted cash flows, which reflect changes in certain assumptions since the date of Raceway Associates' formation, that indicated impairment of the goodwill associated with Route 66 Raceway. The Company's proportionate share of Raceway Associates' cumulative effect of accounting change related to the write-off of goodwill totaled approximately $3.4 million after-tax. In accordance with SFAS No. 3 "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements" the Company recognized this impairment in the first quarter of 2002.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 at the beginning of fiscal 2002, the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets has been presented on a consistent basis for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF BUSINESS

On July 13, 2004, the Company acquired the assets of Martinsville Speedway ("Martinsville"), and assumed the operations as well as certain liabilities of Martinsville for approximately $194.7 million, including acquisition costs. Martinsville was privately owned, with certain members of the France Family Group, which controls in excess of 60% of the combined voting interest of the Company, owning 50% of Martinsville. The acquisition was funded by $100.4 million in proceeds from the sale of the assets of North Carolina Speedway ("North Carolina") (see Note 5) and approximately $94.3 million in cash. Martinsville's operations are included in the Company's consolidated operations subsequent to the date of acquisition.

Located in Virginia near Greensboro and Winston-Salem, Martinsville is one of only two one-half mile tracks on the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series circuit. It seats approximately 64,000 grandstand spectators and offers premium accommodations in the facility's 25 suites. Martinsville annually conducts two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Craftsman Truck series event weekends, including one during the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup which is included in the Company's fiscal 2004 fourth quarter operations. In addition, Martinsville hosts a NASCAR Late Model Stock Car event annually. These events strengthen the Company's presence in the motorsports industry and afford the Company further expansion opportunities in terms of seat and suite additions, as well as increased fan amenities.

The purchase price for the Martinsville acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair market values at the acquisition date, as determined by an independent appraisal. Included in this acquisition were certain indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the NASCAR sanction agreements in place at the time of acquisition and goodwill. The intangible assets and goodwill are included in the Motorsports Event segment.  All of the goodwill attributable to the acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. As this acquisition is not considered significant, pro forma financial information is not presented. The purchase price allocation to the significant assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):

Property and equipment	$	34,278
Intangible assets		148,000
Goodwill		12,442

NOTE 5 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

As required by the settlement agreement in the Ferko/Vaughn litigation ("Settlement Agreement") (see Note 11 - Terminated Litigation) dated April 8, 2004, the Company's North Carolina Speedway, Inc. subsidiary entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. ("SMI") for the sale of the tangible and intangible assets and operations of North Carolina. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, SMI's subsidiary purchased North Carolina's assets and assumed its operations for approximately $100.4 million in cash. The sale of North Carolina's assets closed on July 1, 2004 and the Company recorded an after-tax gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2004 of approximately $36.3 million.

SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," requires impairment losses equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value to be recognized for long-lived assets, if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In May 2004, the Company announced its intention to request realignment of the NASCAR Busch Series and Indy Racing League IndyCar Series events, currently conducted at Nazareth Speedway ("Nazareth"), to other motorsports facilities within its portfolio starting in fiscal 2005 and its intention to suspend indefinitely major motorsports event operations at the facility after completion of its fiscal 2004 events. The Company believes that it can more successfully grow these events over the long term at a facility other than Nazareth. For the 2005 event season, the aforementioned events have been realigned to the Company's Watkins Glen facility.

The realignment of the events conducted at Nazareth and the indefinite suspension of major motorsports event operations at the facility are expected to have a significant adverse effect on Nazareth's future revenues and cash flows. As a result of these changes in Nazareth's operations, in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 a detailed analysis of Nazareth's long-lived assets and their estimated future undiscounted cash flows was completed. The projected undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of Nazareth's property and equipment. The Company evaluated Nazareth's long-lived assets' estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow assessment as well as comparable prices for similar property, which resulted in the identification and measurement of an impairment loss of approximately $13.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 the Company decided to pursue the sale of its Nazareth property.

The operations of North Carolina and Nazareth were included in the Motorsports Event segment. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 the results of operations of North Carolina and Nazareth, including the gain on sale of North Carolina and the impairment loss at Nazareth described above, are presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented. During the years ended November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, total revenues recognized by North Carolina and Nazareth were approximately $26.4 million, $26.9 million and $17.0 million, respectively, and pre-tax income (loss) was approximately $3.9 million, $4.9 million and ($10.0) million, respectively. North Carolina's and Nazareth's assets held for sale included in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled approximately $53.0 million and $8.3 million at November 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.  In addition, goodwill attributable to North Carolina totaled approximately $6.2 million at November 30, 2003.  Unless indicated otherwise, all disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relate to continuing operations.

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued additional subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds ("2002 STAR Bonds") totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse the Company for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the speedway's boundaries and are not the Company's obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal, any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At November 30, 2004, the Unified Government had $5.8 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support KSC's guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

In February 2002 the Company was served in a proceeding filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The case was styled Francis Ferko, and Russell Vaughn as Shareholders of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. vs. National Association of [sic] Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc., International Speedway Corporation, and Speedway Motorsports, Inc. The overall gist of the allegations contained in the complaint was that Texas Motor Speedway should have a second NASCAR Winston Cup Series date annually and that NASCAR should be required by the court to grant Texas Motor Speedway a second NASCAR Winston Cup Series date annually. The portion of the complaint that included the Company alleged that it conspired with NASCAR and members of the France Family to "refuse to offer a new Winston Cup race date to any non-ISC owned track whenever ISC has desired to host an additional Winston Cup race." The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages from the Company, which were claimed to have resulted to Speedway Motorsports from the alleged conspiracy as well as treble damages under the anti-trust laws. Through the Company's participation in court ordered mediation the terms of the Settlement Agreement were reached in April 2004. Upon the satisfaction of certain preconditions to the Settlement Agreement becoming effective it was filed with the court in May 2004. The Settlement Agreement was approved by the court on July 1, 2004. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company's North Carolina Speedway, Inc. subsidiary sold North Carolina's tangible and intangible assets and operations to a subsidiary of Speedway Motorsports for $100.4 million on July 1, 2004. The Settlement Agreement approved by the Court releases ISC and NASCAR from all claims related to the litigation. The released claims include, but are not limited to, allegations or assertions with respect to the awarding and/or sanctioning of races, the effect of the common control of NASCAR and ISC residing in the Fra nce Family Group, and the market power either individually or jointly of NASCAR and ISC.

NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup or NASCAR Busch series event as a component of its sanction fees and remits the remaining 90% to the event promoter. The event promoter pays 25% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event as part of the previously discussed prize money paid to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors. The Company's television broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations received from NASCAR for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events conducted at its wholly-owned facilities were $120.5 million, $140.8 million and $188.9 million in fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Television broadcast and ancillary rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch series events held at North Carolina and the NASCAR Busch Series event held at Nazareth and included in discontinued operations totaled approximately $12.7 million, $14.9 million and $9.3 million for the years ended November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Chapman J. Root, II, one of the Company's directors until June 15, 2003, was a control person and affiliate of the Root Company, Inc., Root Communications Group and various other entities, including the operations of various radio stations which purchase broadcasting rights to certain programs and live events produced by MRN Radio. The price paid by these radio stations for the broadcast rights are established on the same basis as the price paid by other radio stations for similar broadcasts and in similar markets. The amounts paid by these entities to MRN Radio for the broadcast rights were approximately $8,000 during fiscal 2002. There were no amounts paid by these entities to MRN Radio for the broadcast rights during fiscal 2003 prior to the end of Mr. Root's directorship.

Walter P. Czarnecki, one of the Company's directors until April 9, 2003, owns Raceway Services, which purchases tickets and hospitality suite occupancy to events at many of the Company's facilities. The price paid by Raceway Services for these items is established on the same basis as the price paid by other purchasers to the same events without regard to Mr. Czarnecki's previous status as a director. The amounts paid by Raceway Services to the Company totaled approximately $376,000 and $120,000, during fiscal 2002 and 2003 (prior to the end of Mr. Czarnecki's directorship), respectively.

Raceway Associates is owned 75% by Motorsports Alliance and 25% by the former owners of the Route 66 Raceway, LLC. Edward H. Rensi, a director of the Company, owns approximately 1.28% of Raceway Associates. The Company owns an indirect equity investment in Chicagoland Speedway through the Company's equity investment in Motorsports Alliance.  The Company pays Chicagoland Speedway a rights fee to sell programs and radio broadcasts and in fiscal 2003 and 2004 additional rights fees to sell merchandise as well as in fiscal 2004 rights fees for advertising related to the events held at the facility. Chicagoland pays the Company for the purchase of programs and for costs related to the use of the Company's jet dryers at its events. The net amounts paid by the Company were approximately $57,000, $629,000 and $621,000, during fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Pursuant to the merger agreement for the PMI acquisition, the Company originally was obligated to place up to three individuals designated by Penske Performance, Inc., on its board of directors and to include such designees as nominees recommended by the Company's Board of Directors at future elections of directors by shareholders, based upon the amount of Company stock held by Penske Performance, Inc. As the holdings of Penske Performance, Inc. have fallen to less than 2% percent of the aggregate shares of the Company's outstanding Class A and Class B Common Stock, the Company is no longer obligated to include any individuals designated by Penske Performance, Inc. as nominees for the Company's board of directors. Until April 2003 Messrs. Roger S. Penske, Gregory W. Penske and Walter P. Czarnecki were the designees of Penske Performance, Inc. serving on the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Gregory W. Penske remains on the Company's Board of Directors. Penske P erformance, Inc. is wholly-owned by Penske Corporation. Messrs. Roger S. Penske and Czarnecki were also officers and directors of Penske Performance, Inc. and other Penske Corporation affiliates. Mr. Gregory W. Penske is also an officer and director of Penske Performance, Inc. and other Penske Corporation affiliates, as well as the son of Roger S. Penske. Roger S. Penske beneficially owns a majority of the voting stock of and controls Penske Corporation and its affiliates. The Company rented Penske Corporation and its affiliates certain facilities for a driving school and sold hospitality suite occupancy and related services, merchandise and accessories to Penske Corporation, its affiliates and other related companies.  In a special promotional arrangement designed to grow demand while maintaining price integrity, the Company sold approximately 8,000 tickets for certain events at discounts greater than those afforded any other ticket purchaser to Penske Automotive Group, one of the largest automobi le retailers in Southern California, which effected distribution of those tickets.  Also, Penske Truck Leasing rented certain vehicles and sold related supplies and services to the Company. In fiscal 2002, 2003 and 2004, the aggregate amount received from Penske Corporation, its affiliates and other related companies, net of amounts paid by the Company, totaled approximately $1.2 million, $887,000 and $2.4 million, respectively, for the aforementioned goods and services.

NOTE 19 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In connection with the 2004 Senior Notes, the Company is required to provide condensed consolidating financial information for its subsidiary guarantors. All of the Company's subsidiaries have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, to each holder of 2004 Senior Notes and the trustee under the Indenture for the 2004 Senior Notes, the full and prompt performance of the Company's obligations under the indenture and the 2004 Senior Notes, including the payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the 2004 Senior Notes, on a equal and ratable basis.

The subsidiary guarantees are unsecured obligations of each subsidiary guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor and senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantor with respect to the assets securing that indebtedness.

In the absence of both default and notice, there are no restrictions imposed by the Company's Credit Facility, 2004 Senior Notes, or the guarantees on the Company's ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate financial statements for each of the guarantors, because it has deemed that such financial statements would not provide the investors with any material additional information.

Included in the tables below, are condensed consolidating balance sheets as of November 30, 2003 and 2004, and the condensed consolidating statements of operations and cash flows for the years ending November 30, 2002, 2003 and 2004, of: (a) the Parent; (b) the guarantor subsidiaries; (c) elimination entries necessary to consolidate Parent with guarantor subsidiaries; and (d) the Company on a consolidated basis (in thousands).
