Impairment - Alabama

IGT machines ceased to be operated at the VictoryLand, Country Crossing and Greentrack facilities in 2010, as a result of challenges related to the legality of electronic charitable bingo in Alabama. Impairment has been recognized each year since, as the prospects of collecting our Alabama development financing declined with deteriorating market conditions and the decreasing value of associated property collateral. Fair value was determined using expected cash flows discounted at risk-based market rates. The net carrying amount of the remaining Alabama development financing note totaled $12.9 million at March 31, 2014.

Business Realignment

To address the recent challenges facing the gaming industry, in March 2014 cost-cutting measures were completed under a plan to realign our operating structure. Under this business realignment, we reduced our global workforce by 7% and recorded charges of $16.5 million, including $7.7 million for the impairment of abandoned software. The fair value of abandoned software was determined using expected cash flows discounted at risk-based market rates. No further charges related to this business realignment are expected.
