Churchill Downs Incorporated (the Company) recently determined that purse overpayments were improperly recorded as assets. Purse overpayments are created when, at the end of a race meeting, the purses paid to horsemen exceed the purses payable as a result of pari-mutuel operations during the race meeting. Contractual arrangements between the Company and the horsemens organizations at the Companys various racetracks, which generally expire at the end of a race meeting, provide that if a purse overpayment exists at the end of a race meeting, such overpayment may be recovered through reductions of purses otherwise paid in the subsequent race meeting(s) if a subsequent contract is entered into with the horsemens organization. The Company has historically recorded these purse overpayments as receivables, subject to any necessary valuation allowances. The Company has now determined that these overpayments do not constitute receivables and do not meet the definition of an asset under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, thus any purse overpayment that exists at the end of a race meeting should be expensed. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Form 10-Q/A to restate its consolidated financial statements for the effect of this error. This restatement serves to delay the recognition of the recovery until the period in which it actually occurs. Additionally, amounts recorded as revenues for Illinois purse recapture subsidies have been reclassified to operating expenses to offset purse expense.
The Items of the Companys Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 which are amended and restated are as follows: Part I Financial Information, Item 1 Financial Statements; Part I Financial Information, Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and Part I Financial Information, Item 4 Controls and Procedures.
The remaining Items contained within this Form 10-Q/A consist of all other Items originally contained in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 in the form filed on August 8, 2004. This Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q, nor modify or update those disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the effects of the restatement.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (Unaudited)
($ in thousands, except per share data)
1. Restatements of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Churchill Downs Incorporated (the Company) recently determined that purse overpayments were improperly recorded as assets. Purse overpayments are created when, at the end of a race meeting, the purses paid to horsemen exceed the purses payable as a result of pari-mutuel operations during the race meeting. Contractual arrangements between the Company and the horsemens organizations at the Companys various racetracks, which generally expire at the end of a race meeting, provide that if a purse overpayment exists at the end of a race meeting, such overpayment may be recovered through reductions of purses otherwise paid in the subsequent race meeting(s) if a subsequent contract is entered into with the horsemens organization. The Company has historically recorded these purse overpayments as receivables, subject to any necessary valuation allowances. The Company has now determined that these overpayments do not constitute receivables and do not meet the definition of an asset under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, thus any purse overpayment that exists at the end of a race meeting should be expensed. Accordingly, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the effect of this error. This restatement serves to delay the recognition of the recovery until the period in which it actually occurs. Additionally, amounts recorded as revenues for Illinois purse recapture subsidies have been reclassified to operating expenses to offset purse expense.
(2) During 2004 the Company also determined that it was classifying simulcast host fees incurred inconsistently. The Company imports simulcast horse racing from other racetracks and pays a fee for the signal (simulcast host fees incurred). The Companys accounting policy is to record the simulcast host fees incurred as an expense. However, at certain of the Companys racetracks, simulcast host fees incurred were incorrectly netted against revenue. The 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements have been restated to reclassify simulcast host fees incurred that were netted against revenue to operating expense. There is no change in net earnings or earnings per share as a result of this restatement. Additionally, various immaterial amounts were reclassified, at certain of the Companys racetracks, to conform to the current period presentation.
The effect of the restatements are as follows:

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those normally made in Churchill Downs Incorporateds (the Company) annual report on Form 10-K. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q/A may wish to refer to the Companys Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A, for the period ended December 31, 2003 for further information. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the registrants customary accounting practices and have not been audited.
Certain prior-period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this information have been made and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Our revenues and earnings are significantly influenced by our racing calendar. Therefore, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are generally not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. We historically have very few live racing days during the first quarter, with a majority of our live racing occurring in the second, third and fourth quarters, including the running of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks in the second quarter.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from commissions or pari-mutuel wagering at the Companys racetracks and OTBs (net of state pari-mutuel taxes), plus simulcast host fees and source market fees generated from contracts with in-home wagering providers in the period in which performance occurred. The Company also earns pari-mutuel related streams of revenues from sources that are not related to the handle wagered at the Companys facilities. These other revenues are primarily derived from statutory racing regulations in some of the states where the Companys facilities are located and are recognized when performance has occurred. Additional non-wagering revenues are primarily generated from Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy, admissions, concessions, sponsorship, licensing rights and broadcast fees, lease income and other sources. These non-wagering revenues are recognized in the period in which the performance has occurred.
Purse Expense
The Company recognizes purse expense from the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid out in the form of purse to the winning owners of races run at the Companys racetracks in the period in which performance occurs. The Company incurs a liability for all unpaid purse to be paid out. The Company may pay out purses in excess of statutorily required amounts resulting purse overpayments which are expensed as incurred. Recoveries of purse overpayments are recognized in the period they are realized.

2. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Had the compensation cost for our stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 Accounting for Stock-based Compensation the Companys net earnings and net earnings per common share for the six and three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 would approximate the pro forma amounts presented below:

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in this pro forma disclosure are unlikely to be representative of the effects on pro forma net earnings for future years since variables such as option grants, exercises, and stock price volatility included in the disclosures may not be indicative of future activity. We anticipate making awards in the future under stock-based compensation plans.

In April 2003, the Company refinanced its $250 million revolving credit facility to meet funding needs for working capital, capital improvements and potential acquisitions. The refinancing included a new $200.0 million revolving line of credit through a bank syndicate with a five-year term and $100.0 million in variable rate senior notes with a seven-year term. Both debt facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The interest rate on the line of credit is based upon LIBOR plus a spread of 125 to 225 basis points, determined by certain Company financial ratios. The current interest rate on the senior notes is equal to three month LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings for the $200.0 million revolving line of credit was 2.44% and 2.51% at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings for the $100.0 million senior notes was 2.71% and 2.66% at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These interest rates are partially hedged by the interest rate swap contracts entered into by the Company as described in Note 4. The senior notes require interest only payments during their term with principal due at maturity. Both debt facilities contain financial and other covenant requirements, including specific fixed charge and leverage ratios, as well as minimum levels of net worth.
4. Financial Instruments
In order to mitigate a portion of the market risk on variable rate debt, the Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. Under terms of these contracts the Company receives a three-month LIBOR-based variable interest rate and pays a fixed interest rate on notional amounts totaling $100.0 million. As a result of these contracts, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of approximately 3.68% on $100.0 million of the variable rate debt described in Note 3. The interest rate received on the contracts is determined based on LIBOR near the end of each calendar quarter, which is consistent with the variable rate determination on the underlying debt. Terms of the swaps are as follows:

(1) The two interest rate swap contracts noted above were entered into during June 2004.
The Company has designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of anticipated interest payments under its variable rate agreements. Gains and losses on these swaps that are recorded in other comprehensive earnings will be reclassified into net earnings as interest expense in the periods in which the related variable interest is paid.
Comprehensive earnings consist of the following:

Options to purchase 145 and 178 shares for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were not included in the computation of earnings per common share assuming dilution because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.
6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
There has been no change to the carrying value of the Companys net goodwill since January 1, 2002. Net goodwill at June 30, 2004 and 2003 for Kentucky Operations, Calder Race Course and CDSN was $4.8 million, $36.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

amortized, are recorded at approximately $3.9 million and $4.0 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which are net of accumulated amortization of $2.3 million and $1.9 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Illinois Horse Race Equity fund intangible represents a future right to participate in a state provided subsidy, and has not been amortized since the Arlington Park merger.
Future estimated aggregate amortization expense on other intangible assets for each of the five fiscal years are as follows:

7. Segment Information
The Company has determined that it currently operates in the following seven segments: (1) Kentucky Operations, including Churchill Downs racetrack, Louisville Trackside and Ellis Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility; (2) Hollywood Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility; (3) Calder Race Course; (4) Arlington Park and its eight off-track betting facilities (OTBs); (5) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility and three Indiana OTBs; (6) CDSN, the simulcast product provider of the Company; and (7) other investments, including Churchill Downs Simulcast Productions and the Companys various equity interests which are not material. Eliminations include the elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions, primarily between CDSN and the racetracks.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Companys Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company uses revenues and EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as key performance measures of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. Furthermore, management believes that the use of these measures enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period, our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Because the Company uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of financial performance, the Company is required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to provide the information in this footnote concerning EBITDA. However, these measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net earnings (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) as a measure of our operating results or cash flows (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) or as a measure of our liquidity.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Information set forth in this discussion and analysis contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides certain safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A are made pursuant to the Act. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time and/or managements good faith belief with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as anticipate, believe, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, might, plan, predict, project, should, will, and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include: the effect of global economic conditions; the effect (including possible increases in the cost of doing business) resulting from future war and terrorist activities or political uncertainties; the economic environment; the impact of increasing insurance costs; the impact of interest rate fluctuations; the effect of any change in the Companys accounting policies or practices; the financial performance of our racing operations; the impact of gaming competition (including lotteries and riverboat, cruise ship and land-based casinos) and other sports and entertainment options in those markets in which we operate; the impact of live racing day competition with other Florida and California racetracks within those respective markets; costs associated with our efforts in support of alternative gaming initiatives; costs associated with our Customer Relationship Management initiatives; a substantial change in law or regulations affecting our pari-mutuel activities; a substantial change in allocation of live racing days; litigation surrounding the Rosemont, Illinois, riverboat casino; changes in Illinois law that impact revenues of racing operations in Illinois; a decrease in riverboat admissions subsidy revenue from our Indiana operations; the impact of an additional Indiana racetrack and its wagering facilities near our operations; our continued ability to effectively compete for the countrys top horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; our ability to adequately integrate acquired businesses; market reaction to our expansion projects; any business disruption associated with our facility renovations; the loss of our totalisator companies or their inability to keep their technology current; our accountability for environmental contamination; the loss of key personnel and the volatility of our stock price.
The Company restated its 2004 and 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A to correct errors relating to the accounting for purse overpayments and classification of subsidies and simulcast host fees (at certain racetracks). See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q/A for additional information. Corresponding amounts throughout this Item 2 have also been restated as appropriate.
You should read this discussion with the financial statements included in this report and the Companys Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2003, for further information. Additionally, the Company has amended the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 to restate the financial statements contained therein to correct the accounting for purse overpayments. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q/A for additional information.
We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live thoroughbred, quarter horse and standardbred horse racing and simulcast signals of races. Additionally, we offer racing services through our other interests.
We operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, which has conducted thoroughbred racing since 1875 and is internationally known as the home of the Kentucky Derby, and Ellis Park Race Course, Inc., a
17
thoroughbred racing operation in Henderson, Kentucky (collectively referred to as Kentucky Operations). We also own and operate Hollywood Park, a thoroughbred racing operation in Inglewood, California; Arlington Park, a thoroughbred racing operation in Arlington Heights, Illinois; and Calder Race Course, a thoroughbred racing operation in Miami, Florida. Additionally, we are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, which conducts thoroughbred, quarter horse and standardbred horse racing. We conduct simulcast wagering on horse racing at twelve simulcast wagering facilities in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, as well as at our six racetracks.
The Churchill Downs Simulcast Network (CDSN) provides the principal oversight of our interstate and international simulcast and wagering opportunities, as well as the marketing, sales, operations and data support efforts related to the Company-owned racing content.
Our revenues and earnings are significantly influenced by our racing calendar. Therefore, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not generally indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year, and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. We historically have very few live racing days during the first quarter of each year, with a majority of our live racing occurring in the second, third and fourth quarters, including the running of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks in the second quarter.
Our pari-mutuel revenues include commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and off-track betting facilities (net of state pari-mutuel taxes), plus simulcast host fees from other wagering sites and source market fees generated from contracts with our in-home wagering providers. In addition to the commissions earned on pari-mutuel wagering, we earn pari-mutuel related streams of revenues from sources that are not related to wagering. These other revenues are primarily derived from statutory racing regulations in some of the states where our facilities are located and can fluctuate materially year-to-year. Non-wagering revenues are primarily generated from admissions, sponsorships, licensing rights and broadcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy, concessions, lease income and other sources.
Greater than 70% of our annual revenues are generated by pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast racing content and in-home wagering. Live racing handle includes patron wagers made on live races at our live tracks and also wagers made on imported simulcast signals by patrons at our racetracks during our live meets. Import simulcasting handle includes wagers on imported signals at our racetracks when the respective tracks are not conducting live race meets and at our off-track betting facilities (OTBs) throughout the year. Export handle includes all patron wagers made on our live racing signals sent to other tracks, OTBs and in-home wagering. In-home wagering, or account wagering, consists of patron wagers through an advance deposit account.
Legislative and Regulatory Changes
During the first half of 2004, the Indiana Horse Racing Commission (IHRC) considered whether to prevent any Indiana betting facility from accepting wagers on thoroughbred horse races run at Kentucky racetracks, including Churchill Downs racetrack and Ellis Park, unless all Indiana betting facilities were offered the opportunity to accept wagers on such races. Pursuant to its statutory right under the Federal Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, the Kentucky Horsemens Benevolent and Protective Association withheld its consent and thereby prevented the Evansville OTB and Clarksville OTB, both owned by Indiana Downs, from accepting wagers on thoroughbred horse races run at Kentucky racetracks. To assist the IHRC in reaching a determination on the matter, the IHRC asked the Indiana Department of Gaming Research (IDGR) to estimate the impact of simulcast wagering on live horse racing in Kentucky and Indiana. The IDGR issued a report in June 2004, which concluded the racing industry in both states would lose money if none of Indianas pari-mutuel facilities received Kentuckys racing signals. As a result, at its July 1, 2004 meeting the IHRC decided not to ban Kentucky simulcast signals at Indiana racetracks. Indiana Downs has requested the IHRC to reconsider its decision.
In Florida, Yes for Local Control (formerly known as The Floridians for a Level Playing Field), a coalition of pari-mutuel facilities, including Calder Race Course, has successfully gathered the necessary petition signatures to place a question on the ballot for the November 2004 general election to allow Dade and Broward counties to hold a referendum on the installation of slot machines at existing pari-mutuel sites in those respective counties. The Florida Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of this initiative in May, 2004. The ballot question was
18
officially certified as initiative number 4 by the Florida Secretary of State on July 21, 2004. On July 23, 2004, a suit was filed against the Florida Division of Elections challenging the format of the initiative petition. Calder Race Course is committed to fund a pro-rata share of the initiative costs.
In California, Hollywood Park is part of a coalition of racetracks and card clubs behind the Gaming Revenue Act of 2004, which is slated for the November 2004 ballot. If passed, this initiative would direct the governor to re-negotiate all existing compacts with Native American tribes in California. If the tribes decline to renegotiate the existing compacts, then five racetracks, including Hollywood Park, and 11 card clubs would be allowed to operate electronic gaming devices. The California Secretary of State certified the initiative, titled Proposition 68, for the ballot on June 2, 2004. Two lawsuits filed to challenge the constitutionality of the initiative have now been dismissed. However, the initiative faces opposition from Governor Schwarzenegger and numerous Indian tribes. Gov. Schwarzenegger recently signed new state compacts with five Native American tribes estimated to provide over $1 billion to the state budget while allowing tribes to expand their slot operations.
In addition to Proposition 68 noted above, Proposition 70 also known as The Indian Gaming Fair-Share Revenue Act of 2004, will be on the November ballot. Proposition 70 would permit an unlimited expansion of Native American gaming and call for tribes to pay an 8.8% tax on gaming revenue. Proposition 70 has been endorsed by members of the California Nations Indian Gaming Association. However, the initiative also faces opposition from Governor Schwarzenegger. If both Proposition 68 and Proposition 70 pass, then the proposition with the most votes would become effective.
Also in California, legislation recently passed which is estimated to generate approximately $10 million annually from a .5% increase in the commission or take out rate on exotic wagers placed on California races. The revenue will be used to pay the cost of workers compensation insurance for backstretch workers and to provide a starter participation bonus. Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB1835 on May 14, 2004.
In 1999, the state of Illinois enacted legislation that provides for pari-mutuel tax relief and related tax credits for Illinois racetracks, as well as legislation providing for subsidies to Illinois horse racing tracks from revenues generated by the relocation of a license to operate a riverboat casino gaming facility. Arlington Parks share of subsidies from the relocation of the license under the 1999 legislation would range from $4.6 million to $8.0 million annually, based on publicly available sources. In the event Arlington Park receives such subsidies, additional shares of common stock would be issued to Duchossois Industries, Inc., to a maximum of 1.25 million shares, under our merger agreement with Arlington Park. In January 2001, the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) denied a license application of Emerald Casino, Inc. to relocate the license to operate the Rosemont casino. During 2002, Emerald Casino, Inc. filed for bankruptcy and was attempting to sell its license rights subject to the approval of the IGB and the bankruptcy court. In April 2004, the IGB conducted an auction of the license and awarded that license to Isle Capri Casinos, Inc., which announced plans to locate the license to operate in Rosemont, Illinois. Both the Governor of Illinois and the Attorney General of Illinois have convened investigations of the award by the IGB. The date for final approval by the bankruptcy court of the auction and issuance of the license by the IGB is not known at this time.
As anticipated, bills were filed in the 2004 session of the Illinois legislature to eliminate the statutory right of Arlington Park and the other Illinois racetracks to recapture amounts from their purse accounts. However none of those bills advanced during the session. Since 2000, the Illinois General Assembly has appropriated money to reimburse each racetracks purse account for the amounts not recaptured from horsemen through reductions in future purses. However, the appropriation was vetoed by Illinoiss governor during 2002 and the General Assembly did not make the appropriations in 2003. Illinois horsemen unsuccessfully petitioned the Illinois Racing Board (IRB) to prevent the tracks from recapturing purse amounts in any year where Illinois does not appropriate funds for reimbursement. Illinois horsemen filed a lawsuit against the IRB and the Illinois racetracks, including Arlington Park, challenging the recapture of purse account amounts and seeking reimbursement for the amounts recaptured, and the lawsuit was dismissed in favor of the Illinois racetracks during April 2004. The case was dismissed during July 2004, and plaintiffs have until August 2004 in which to file their appeal. Additionally, Illinois horsemen have filed a new lawsuit challenging the 2004 recapture amount. We have elected to continue to recapture amounts from purses due to horsemen while the litigation is pending.
19
In Kentucky, racetracks with on-track average daily handle of $1.2 million or more pay an excise tax equal to 3.5% of on-track handle while tracks with on-track average daily handle that does not meet the $1.2 million threshold pay an excise tax of 1.5% of on-track handle. To mitigate the disparity of treatment between larger tracks such as Churchill Downs and other Kentucky racetracks, we successfully pursued legislation creating an excise tax credit for racetracks as part of the 2002-2004 state budget. The measure resulted in a $12,000 credit against our excise tax liability for each day of live racing starting July 1, 2003 and ending June 30, 2004. However, average daily wagering at Churchill Downs racetrack fell below the $1.2 million threshold for the states fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which resulted in a drop in our excise tax rate from 3.5% to 1.5% for the year. As a result, the excise tax credit did not apply to Churchill Downs racetrack and a refund of tax payments has been requested of the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet.
We are currently pursuing the excise tax credit in the 2004-2006 state budget but due to revenue shortfalls in Kentucky, it is not anticipated that the excise tax credit will be included in the 2004-2006 Kentucky state budget. The Kentucky General Assembly adjourned in April 2004 without passing a budget. The future status of the excise tax credit will not be determined until a final budget is approved.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most significant estimates relate to the valuation of property and equipment, receivables, goodwill and other intangible assets, which may be significantly affected by changes in the regulatory environment in which the company operates, and to the aggregate costs for self-insured liability and workers compensation claims. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K, as amended by Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Our business can be impacted positively and negatively by legislative and regulatory changes and from alternative gaming competition. A significant negative impact from these activities could result in a significant impairment of our property and equipment and/or our goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.
For our business insurance renewals in 2003 and 2002, we assumed more risk than in the prior years, primarily through higher retentions and higher maximum losses for stop-loss insurance for certain coverages. Our March 1, 2004 business insurance renewals included substantially the same coverages and retentions as in previous years. Based on our historical loss experience, management does not anticipate that this increased risk assumption will materially impact our results of operations. Our ability to obtain insurance coverage at acceptable costs in future years under terms and conditions comparable to the current years is uncertain.
