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 or those normally made in Churchill Downs Incorporated's (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. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1999 for further information. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the registrant's 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. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business and recent acquisition activity, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a disproportionate share of annual net earnings as the Company normally earns a substantial portion of its net earnings in the second quarter of each year during which four of its five racetracks are open, and the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run. The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in May. 2. Restricted Cash Restricted cash represents refundable deposits and amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards. 3. Long-Term Debt On April 23, 1999, the Company increased its line of credit to $250 million under a revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions. The interest rate on the borrowing is based upon LIBOR plus 75 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined by certain Company financial ratios. There was $164.0 million outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2000 compared to $178.0 million outstanding at December 31, 1999 and $100.0 million outstanding at June 30, 1999. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and matures in 2004. 6 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (unaudited) ($ in thousands, except per share data) 3. Long-Term Debt (cont'd) The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions which have termination dates through March 2003. Under terms of these separate contracts, we receive a LIBOR based variable interest rate on notional amounts of $35.0 million each and pay a fixed interest rate of 5.89%, 7.015% and 7.30%, which mature in August 2000, March 2003 and May 2002, respectively. The variable interest rate received on the contracts is determined based on LIBOR on the last day of each month, which is consistent with the variable rate determination on the underlying debt. 4. Acquisitions and Other Transactions On April 21, 2000, Keeneland Association, Inc. purchased the Company's Thoroughbred training and boarding facility known as Kentucky Horse Center for a cash payment of $5 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay the Company's line of credit, and to fund operating expenses and capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2000. On September 10, 1999, the Company acquired the assets of the Hollywood Park racetrack and the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, California, including approximately 240 acres of land upon which the racetrack and casino are located, for a purchase price of $140.0 million plus approximately $2.5 million in transaction costs. The Company leases the Hollywood Park Casino facility to the seller under a 10-year lease with one 10-year renewal option. The lease provides for annual rent of $3.0 million, subject to adjustment during the renewal period. The entire purchase price of $142.5 million was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company as an asset purchase and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Hollywood Park racetrack have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price may require adjustment in the Company's future financial statements based on a final determination of the fair value of assets acquired in the acquisition. On July 20, 1999, the Company issued 2.3 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $29 per share. The total proceeds net of offering expenses were $62.1 million, and were used for the repayment of bank borrowings. On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Calder Race Course, Inc.and Tropical Park, Inc.from KE Acquisition Corp. for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net working capital adjustment of approximately $2.9 million cash and $0.6 million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. The purchase price, including additional costs, of $89.5 million was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date with the excess of $49.4 million being recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. 7 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (unaudited) ($ in thousands, except per share data) 4. Acquisitions and Other Transactions (cont'd) Following are the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the September 10, 1999 acquisition of Hollywood Park racetrack, the July 20, 1999 stock issuance and the April 23, 1999 acquisition of Calder Race Course had occurred on January 1, 1999: Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 ---------------- Net revenues $160,790 Net earnings $13,191 Earnings per common share: Basic $1.34 Diluted $1.32 Weighted average shares Basic 9,825 Diluted 9,971 This unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transactions been consummated as of January 1, 1999, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. 5. Earnings Per Share The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations:

Earnings Per Share (cont'd) Options to purchase approximately 74 and 52 shares for the periods ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 share. 6. Segment Information The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has determined that it currently operates in the following six segments: (1) Churchill Downs racetrack and the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast facility (2) Hollywood Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility (3) Calder Race Course (4) Ellis Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility (5) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility and the other three Indiana off-track betting facilities ("OTBs") and (6) Other investments, including Charlson Broadcast Technologies LLC ("CBT") and the Company's other various equity interests, which are not material. Eliminations include the elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions. As a result of a reorganization for internal reporting during 2000, the Company's segment disclosures are presented on a new basis to correspond with internal reporting for corporate revenues and expenses which, for the six and three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, are now reported separate of Churchill Downs racetrack revenues and expenses. Most of the Company's revenues are generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at the Company's racetracks and OTBs, plus simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions revenue, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees and other sources. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1999. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States), as a measure of our operating results or cash flows (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) or as a measure of our liquidity. 9 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (unaudited) ($ in thousands, except per share data) 6.

Pending Transactions The Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Centaur, Inc. ("Centaur") to sell a 26% interest in Hoosier Park, LP ("HPLP") for a purchase price of $8.5 million. HPLP is an Indiana limited partnership that owns Hoosier Park racetrack and related OTBs. Upon closing, the Company will retain a 51% interest in HPLP and continue to manage its day-to-day operations. Centaur, which already owned a portion of HPLP prior to the agreement, will then hold a 39% minority interest in HPLP. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the Indiana Horse Racing Commission. The agreement also contains a provision under which Centaur has the right to purchase our remaining interest at any time prior to July 31, 2001. Upon failure of Centaur to exercise this provision both parties will have an opportunity to purchase the other's remaining interest on the basis of specific terms outlined in the definitive agreement. Closing is expected during the third quarter of 2000. 11 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (unaudited) ($ in thousands, except per share data) 7. Pending Transactions (cont'd) The Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Duchossois Industries Inc. ("DII"), a privately held company that owns Arlington International Racecourse, under which Arlington International Racecourse Inc., Arlington Management Services Inc. and Turf Club of Illinois Inc. will merge with the Company. Under terms of the agreement, the Company will issue 3.15 million shares of its common stock upon closing to DII. The agreement also specifies the issuance of up to an additional 1.25 million shares of the Company's stock to DII depending on certain developments and conditions over a future period. DII has entered into a stockholder's agreement that will provide for restrictions on the voting and transfer of the shares of the Company's common stock received in the merger. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Illinois Racing Board, Florida Division of Pari- Mutuel Wagering, Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Company's shareholders. Closing of the transaction is expected during September 2000. 12 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) 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 are made pursuant to the Act. These statements represent our judgment concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual operating results and financial condition to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," 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 financial performance of Arlington International Racecourse ("Arlington"); litigation surrounding the Rosemont, Illinois, riverboat casino; market reaction to our merger agreement with Arlington; changes in Illinois law that impact revenues of the racing operations in Illinois; the impact of gaming competition (including lotteries and riverboat, cruise ship and land-based casinos) and other sports and entertainment options in those markets in which we operate; a substantial change in law or regulations affecting our pari- mutuel activities; a substantial change in allocation of live racing days; a decrease in riverboat admissions revenue from our Indiana operations; the impact of an additional racetrack near our Indiana operations; our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's top horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market; the impact of interest rate fluctuations; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; our ability to adequately integrate acquired businesses; 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. Overview We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred, Standardbred and Quarter Horse horse racing and simulcast signals of races. Additionally, we offer racing services through our other interests. We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky, which has conducted Thoroughbred racing since 1875 and is internationally known as home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate Hollywood Park, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Inglewood, California ("Hollywood Park"); Calder Race Course, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Miami, Florida, which owns racing licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. ("Calder Race Course"); and Ellis Park, a Thoroughbred racetrack in Henderson, Kentucky ("Ellis Park"). We are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park at Anderson in Anderson, Indiana, which conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing ("Hoosier Park"). Hoosier Park is owned by Hoosier Park, LP ("HPLP"), an Indiana limited partnership. We have entered into a definitive agreement with Centaur, Inc. ("Centaur") to sell a 26% interest in Hoosier Park, LP for a purchase price of $8.5 million. Upon closing, we will retain a 51% interest in Hoosier Park and continue to manage its 13 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) day-to-day operations. Centaur, which already owned a portion of HPLP prior to the agreement, will then hold a 39% minority interest in HPLP. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the Indiana Horse Racing Commission ("IHRC") and various regulatory agencies, and closing is expected during the third quarter of 2000. We also conduct simulcast wagering on horse racing at our off-track betting facilities (OTBs) located in Louisville, Kentucky, and in Indianapolis, Merrillville and Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as at our racetracks. Additionally, we have entered into a definitive agreement with Duchossois Industries Inc. ("DII"), a privately held company that owns Arlington International Racecourse, under which Arlington International Racecourse Inc., Arlington Management Services Inc. and Turf Club of Illinois Inc. (collectively "Arlington") will merge with us. Under terms of the agreement, we will issue 3.15 million shares of our common stock upon closing to DII. The agreement also specifies the issuance of up to an additional 1.25 million shares of the our stock to DII depending on certain developments and conditions over a future period. DII has entered into a stockholder agreement that will provide for restrictions on the voting and transfer of the shares of the common stock received in the merger. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Illinois Racing Board, Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and our shareholders. Closing of the transaction is expected during September 2000. Because of the seasonal nature of our business and recent acquisition activity, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are likely not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. We normally earn a substantial portion of our net earnings in the second quarter of each year during which four of our five racetracks are open and the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks are run. The Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in May. Our primary source of revenue is commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and OTBs. Other sources of revenue include simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy revenue, lease income, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees. In Kentucky, two pieces of legislation significant to our operations were passed in the 2000 session of the Kentucky General Assembly. First, an excise tax credit for racetracks was included in the 2000-2002 Kentucky state budget. The measure, effective July 1, 2000, calls for the two-year phase-in of a graduated excise tax with average daily on-track handle of $1.2 million and below to be taxed at 2.5% and average daily on-track handle in excess of $1.2 million to be taxed at 3.5%. Under previous Kentucky law, tracks with average daily on-track handle of $1.2 million and above, such as Churchill Downs, were taxed at a flat rate of 3.5%. This credit of nearly $1.4 million in new revenue is earmarked for horsemen's incentives and necessary apital improvements at Churchill Downs racetrack over the next two years. Though this legislation is set to expire in 2002, we intend to lobby for a permanent 2% tax reduction in 2002. 14 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The Kentucky General Assembly also enacted legislation that eliminates the excise tax on Breeders' Cup Championship Day wagering at any Kentucky track that hosts the event. This legislation is aimed at attracting the Breeders' Cup to Kentucky, and Churchill Downs, on a more frequent basis. In 1998, Breeders' Cup Day wagering at Churchill Downs totaled $13.4 million and generated excise taxes of approximately $315,000. This tax exemption will not become effective until January 1, 2001, and therefore will not apply to the 2000 Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs. The exemption will continue if the Breeders' Cup returns to Kentucky within three years of the previously held event. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Pari-mutuel wagering information, including intercompany transactions, for our five live racing facilities and four separate OTBs, which are included in their respective racetracks, during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is as follows ($ in thousands): Churchill Hollywood Calder Race Ellis Downs Park* Course* Hoosier Park Park Live Racing 2000 handle $ 90,856 $100,240 $ 33,838 $ 4,814 - 2000 no. of days 45 46 29 61 - 1999 handle $ 93,689 $108,470 $ 35,225 $ 4,943 $ 596 1999 no. of days 47 50 29 60 2 Export simulcasting 2000 handle $354,265 $374,889 $ 86,134 $14,494 - 2000 no. of days 45 46 41 61 - 1999 handle $334,555 $417,128 $ 68,409 $ 8,622 $ 4,736 1999 no. of days 47 50 41 60 2 Import simulcasting 2000 handle $ 58,045 $120,517 - $72,013 $23,179 2000 no. of days 104 129 - 597 181 1999 handle $ 57,047 $107,337 - $69,262 $23,894 1999 no. of days 101 131 - 581 179 Totals 2000 handle $503,166 $595,646 $119,972 $91,321 $23,179 1999 handle $485,291 $632,935 $103,634 $82,827 $29,226 * Pari-mutuel wagering information is provided for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Although the summary reflects handle for the first six months of 2000 and 1999 as if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of the year, only revenues generated since the subsidiaries' acquisition dates have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings. 15 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Net Revenues Net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $55.8 million (55%) from $101.8 million in 1999 to $157.6 million in 2000. Churchill Downs racetrack revenues increased $4.1 million (7%) primarily due to $1.3 million of increased pari-mutuel wagering, and an increase in corporate sponsor event ticket prices, admissions and seat revenue and concessions revenue as a result of record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Hollywood Park contributed $50.9 million to the first six months of 2000 net revenues, and Calder Race Course revenues increased $2.0 million to $13.7 million in 2000 from $11.7 million in 1999 due to the timing of the 1999 acquisition. Hollywood Park was acquired in the third quarter of 1999 and Calder Race Course was acquired in the second quarter of 1999. Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased $45.9 million (61%) from $74.8 million in 1999 to $120.7 million in 2000 primarily as a result of Hollywood Park's 2000 operating expenses of $41.3 million, and Calder Race Course operating expenses increasing $4.5 million, primarily due to the timing of the acquisition. Gross Profit Gross profit increased $9.9 million from $27.0 million in 1999 to $36.9 million in 2000. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisition of Hollywood Park and the increase in gross profit for Churchill Downs racetrack due to record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $6.1 million (88%) from $6.9 million in 1999 to $13.0 million in 2000. SG&A expenses at Churchill Downs increased $2.1 million (50%) due primarily to increased corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The 1999 acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park resulted in increases of $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Other Income and Expense Interest expense increased $5.5 million from $2.2 million in 1999 to $7.7 million in 2000 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisition of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park. Income Tax Provision The decrease in the income tax provision of $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 is primarily a result of a decrease in pre-tax earnings. 16 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Net Revenues Net revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $47.8 million (57%) from $84.1 million in 1999 to $131.9 million in 2000. Churchill Downs racetrack revenues increased $4.2 million (7%) primarily due to $1.4 million of increased pari-mutuel wagering, and an increase in corporate sponsor event ticket prices, admissions and seat revenue and concessions revenue as a result of record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Hollywood Park contributed $45.1 million to the three months ended June 30, 2000 net revenues. Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased $34.0 million (61%) from $55.7 million in 1999 to $89.7 million in 2000. Churchill Downs racetrack operating expenses increased $1.5 million (5%) primarily due to increases in purses, consistent with increases in pari-mutuel wagering revenues. Hollywood Park incurred 2000 operating expenses of $33.9 million. Gross Profit Gross profit increased $13.8 million from $28.5 million in 1999 to $42.3 million in 2000. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the inclusion of Hollywood Park and the increase in gross profit for Churchill Downs racetrack due to record attendance on Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A expenses increased by $3.2 million (89%) from $3.6 million in 1999 to $6.8 million in 2000. SG&A expenses at Churchill Downs increased $1.2 million (52%) due primarily to increased corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The acquisition of Hollywood Park added $1.2 million. Other operations accounted for the remaining $0.8 million of the increase in SG&A expenses. Other Income and Expense Interest expense increased $2.1 million from $1.8 million in 1999 to $3.9 million in 2000 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the 1999 acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park. Income Tax Provision Our income tax provision increased by $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 primarily as a result of an increase in pre-tax earnings of $7.9 million. 17 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet June 30, 2000 to December 31, 1999 Restricted cash increased $30.4 million as a result of current period separate classification of restricted assets primarily due to the timing of Hollywood Park's live racing meet. Accounts payable increased $19.2 million at June 30, 2000 primarily due to increases in purses payable and other expenses related to simulcast wagering for Churchill Downs racetrack, Hollywood Park and Hoosier Park. Accrued expenses increased $15.0 million primarily as a result of Hollywood Park live racing accrued payables. Dividends payable decreased $4.9 million at June 30, 2000 due to the payment of dividends of $4.9 million (declared in 1999) in first quarter 2000. Income taxes payable increased by $5.6 million at June 30, 2000 representing the estimated income tax expense attributed to income generated in the six months of 2000. Deferred revenue decreased $8.5 million at June 30, 2000, primarily due to the significant amount of admission and seat revenue that was received prior to December 31, 1999 recognized as income in May 2000 for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks race days. The long-term debt decrease of $14.2 million was the result of the application of current cash flow to reduce borrowings under our bank line of credit during 2000. Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet June 30, 2000 to June 30, 1999 Restricted cash increased $30.4 million as a result of current period separate classification of restricted assets primarily due to the timing of Hollywood Park's live racing meet. Accounts receivable increased $8.4 million at June 30, 2000. The acquisition of Hollywood Park increased accounts receivable by $7.1 million. The remaining increase was primarily due to the timing of payments received for Churchill Downs racetrack's live Spring Meet. Net plant and equipment increased $142.9 million primarily as a result of the acquisition of Hollywood Park. Additional increases were due to routine capital spending at our operating units offset by depreciation expense and the sale of the Kentucky Horse Center assets during the second quarter of 2000. 18 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The accounts payable increase of $18.8 million was primarily due to the acquisition of Hollywood Park which represents $7.6 million of the increase. The additional $11.2 million increase was due to the timing of payments for horsemen-related and simulcast payables for Churchill Downs racetrack Spring Meet. Accrued expenses increased $20.3 million, primarily due to a $19.1 million increase as a result of the Hollywood Park acquisition. The long-term debt net increase of $63.4 million was due primarily to line of credit borrowings used to fund the acquisition of Hollywood Park. Common stock increased $62.7 million primarily due to $62.1 million in net proceeds received from our public offering during the third quarter of 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources The working capital deficiency was $4.9 million at June 30, 2000 and 1999 which results from the seasonality of our businesses. Cash flows provided by operations were $18.2 and $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management believes cash flows from operations and available borrowings during 2000 will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the year, including capital improvements and future acquisitions. Cash flows used in investing activities were $8.5 million and $93.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash used for 1999 business acquisitions consisted of $82.4 million net of cash acquired for the acquisition of Calder Race Course during the second quarter and $2.9 million net of cash acquired for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first quarter. We used $13.5 million during 2000 for capital spending at our facilities including $4.9 million for the expansion of Churchill Downs' main entrance and corporate offices. Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities were $(16.8) and $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. We borrowed $15 million and repaid $29 million on our line of credit during 2000. In April 1999, our total line of credit was increased to $250 million under a revolving loan facility, of which $164 million was outstanding at June 30, 2000. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of our assets and matures in 2004. This credit facility is intended to meet working capital and other short- term requirements and to provide funding for future acquisitions. 19 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2001. Management of the Company is currently analyzing the impact of SFAS 133 but anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. On December 3, 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 summarizes some of the staff's interpretations of the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. The staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B (SAB 101B) which delays the application of the accounting and disclosure requirements to no later than the fourth quarter of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1999. Management of the Company is currently analyzing the impact of SAB 101 and plans to adopt the accounting and disclosure requirements in the fourth quarter of 2000. Management does not anticipate the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. Pending Transactions We have entered into a definitive agreement with Centaur, Inc. ("Centaur") to sell a 26% interest in Hoosier Park, LP ("HPLP") for a purchase price of $8.5 million. HPLP is an Indiana limited partnership that owns Hoosier Park racetrack and related OTBs. Upon closing, we will retain a 51% interest in HPLP and continue to manage its day-to-day operations. Centaur, which already owned a portion of HPLP prior to the agreement, will then hold a 39% minority interest in HPLP. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the IHRC. The agreement also contains a provision under which Centaur has the right to purchase our remaining interest at any time prior to July 31, 2001. If Centaur does not exercise this option, both parties will have an opportunity to purchase the other's remaining interest on the basis of specific terms outlined in the definitive agreement. Closing is expected during the third quarter of 2000. We have also entered into a definitive agreement with Duchossois Industries Inc. ("DII"), a privately held company that owns Arlington International Racecourse, under which Arlington International Racecourse Inc., Arlington Management Services Inc. and Turf Club of Illinois Inc. will merge with us. Under terms of the agreement, we will issue 3.15 million shares of our common stock upon closing to DII. The agreement also specifies the issuance of up to an additional 1.25 million shares of our stock to DII depending on certain developments and conditions over a future period. DII has entered into a stockholder's agreement that will provide for restrictions on the voting and transfer of the shares of the common stock received in the merger. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the Illinois Racing Board, Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, Department of Business and Professional Regulation and our shareholders. Closing of the transaction is expected during September 2000. 20 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk At June 30, 2000, we had $164 million of debt outstanding under our revolving loan facility, which bears interest at LIBOR based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in the LIBOR rate. Assuming the outstanding balance on the revolving loan facility remains constant, a one percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would reduce annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows by $1.6 million. In order to mitigate a portion of the market risk associated with our variable rate debt, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. Under terms of these separate contracts we receive a LIBOR based variable interest rate on notional amounts of $35.0 million each and pay a fixed interest rate of 5.89%, 7.015% and 7.30%, which mature in August 2000, March 2003 and May 2002, respectively. Assuming the June 30, 2000 notional amounts under the interest rate swap contracts remain constant, a one percentage point increase in the LIBOR rate would increase annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows by $1.1 million. Management plans to engage in further interest rate swap agreements in the future to reduce our interest rate exposure. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings Not Applicable ITEM 2.
