Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents, investments, and receivables. We place short-term investments in high credit quality financial institutions and in short-duration high-quality securities. With the exception of US Government and Agency securities, our short-term investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial institution, industry group or type of investment. Cash on deposit may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. Our receivables are concentrated in the following legalized gaming regions at June 30, 2009: <table style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tbody> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 0px" height="0"> <td width="236"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="56"></td> <td width="30"></td> <td width="213"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="56"></td> <td width="6"></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="236"> North America </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> 64 </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="30"> % </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="213"> International </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> 36 </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> % </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" width="236"> Nevada </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> 9 </td> <td valign="bottom" width="30"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="213"> Argentina </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> 18 </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="236"> Oklahoma </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> 8 </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="30"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="213"> Other Latin America </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> 7 </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" width="236"> Alabama </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> 8 </td> <td valign="bottom" width="30"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="213"> Other (less than 5% individually) </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> 11 </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="236"> Pennsylvania </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> 7 </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="30"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="213"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="56"> </td> <td style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #99ccff" valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" width="236"> Other (less than 5% individually) </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> 32  </td> <td valign="bottom" width="30">    </td> <td valign="bottom" width="213">    </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="56"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tbody> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 0px" height="0"> <td width="236"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="56"></td> <td width="30"></td> <td width="213"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="6"></td> <td width="56"></td> <td width="6"></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Our unfunded development financing loans totaled $30.6 million at June 30, 2009. Through June 30, 2009, IGT funded $51.4 million of $75.0 million in development financing extended to an Alabama charitable gaming property and $93.0 million of financing extended to a consortium of Argentina gaming operators comprised of $100.0 million for development and $40.0 million for gaming equipment financing. Auction Rate Securities We  held $21.6 million (par) of ARS at June 30, 2009. Our ARS lack liquidity because of failed auctions since February 2008, but we continue to receive interest payments and have no reason to believe the underlying assets are at risk of default. In November 2008, we accepted ARS put rights offered by our broker, UBS Securities LLC, entitling us to sell our ARS through appropriate UBS entities at par plus accrued interest during the exercise period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012. Upon acceptance of the put rights, we classified our ARS as “trading” and elected to carry the put at fair value under SFAS 159. We believe this election more accurately reflects the economic relationship between the put and the underlying ARS and future changes in the respective fair values will largely offset. At June 30, 2009, the ARS and put were presented in current assets as our ability to exercise the put right was within one year. The estimated fair values of our ARS and related put rights totaled $17.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2009. See Note 17. The following changes in fair value were included in other income (expense) for the periods ended June 30, 2009: ª net gain of $0.5 million ($0.7 million ARS gain and $0.2 million put loss) for the quarter ª net loss of $0.5 million ($4.2 million ARS loss and $3.7 million put gain) for the nine months </div> 9.
