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.

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 impact of increasing insurance costs; 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; 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 racetrack near our Indiana 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; the impact of interest rate fluctuations; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; the economic environment; our ability to adequately integrate acquired businesses; market reaction to our expansion projects; 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.You should read this discussion with the financial statements included in this report and the Companys Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001, for further information.OverviewWe 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 own and 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 Thoroughbred racing operation in Henderson, Kentucky (collectively referred to as Kentucky Operations). We also own and operate
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATEDITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
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 nine simulcast wagering facilities in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, as well as at our six racetracks.Our revenues and earnings are significantly influenced by our racing calendar. Therefore, 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. 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.Our revenues are generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at our racetracks and off-track betting facilities, plus simulcast fees, Indiana riverboat admissions subsidy revenue, admissions, concessions revenue, sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees, lease income and other sources.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pari-mutuel wagering information, including intercompany transactions, for our six live racing facilities including on-site simulcast facilities and nine separate off-track betting facilities ("OTBs"), which are included in their respective racetracks, during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is as follows ($ in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Net Revenues
Net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $8.6 million from $195.0 million in 2001 to $203.6 million in 2002. Calder Race Course revenues increased $9.3 million as a result of an expanded live race meet during 2002 resulting in 20 additional days through June 30, 2002. Kentucky Operations revenues increased $1.7 million primarily due to record wagering for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. Hollywood Park revenues decreased $3.9 million primarily due to a decrease of four live racing days in 2002 compared to 2001. CDSN revenues increased $4.8 million primarily due to increases in overall export simulcasting activity as well as the additional 20 days of racing at Calder and record wagering on the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days.Operating ExpensesOperating expenses increased $8.3 million from $154.1 million in 2001 to $162.4 million in 2002 primarily due to several factors, including increases in 2002 business insurance expenses at all of our racetracks. Calder Race Course also had increases in operating expenses from the 20 additional race days and Hollywood Parks expenses decreased due to the decrease of four live race days discussed above. Kentucky Operations also experienced additional costs related to the incremental Kentucky Derby security measures in May 2002. Increases were offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $0.7 million related to the adoption of the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142 adopted January 1, 2002.Gross ProfitGross profit increased $0.3 million from $40.9 million in 2001 to $41.2 million in 2002. Although there was revenue growth during 2002 as a result of increased live racing days at Calder Race Course, record wagering results on Kentucky Derby and Oaks days and an increase for CDSN, these increases were offset by an increase in business insurance expenses, and other operating expenses, as discussed above.Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSelling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $1.5 million from $15.8 million in 2001 to $17.3 million in 2002 primarily due to costs incurred by our Kentucky Operations related to the legislative gaming initiatives in 2002 and costs incurred by Arlington Park related to the Illinois riverboat legislation.
Other Income and ExpenseInterest expense decreased $2.0 million from $7.0 million in 2001 to $5.0 million in 2002 primarily due to the use of available cash to pay down our line of credit, as well as a reduction in the interest rate spread charged within the revolving loan facility and an overall decrease in LIBOR interest rates.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
Net revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $9.4 million from $163.3 million in 2001 to $172.6 million in 2002. Calder Race Course revenues increased $9.3 million resulting from an additional 20 days of live racing due to the racing calendar starting earlier in the year. Kentucky Operation revenues also increased as a result of record wagering for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in pari-mutuel revenues at Hollywood Park as a result of a decrease of four live racing days during the quarter compared to prior year. Hollywood Park also had decreases in concessions revenue as a result of outsourcing its food service. CDSN had an increase of $4.4 million primarily due to overall increases in export simulcasting activity as well as the additional 20 days of racing at Calder and record wagering on the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby days.Operating ExpensesOperating expenses increased $7.9 million from $114.8 million in 2001 to $122.7 million in 2002 primarily due to increased expenses at Calder Race Course related to the increase of 20 days of live racing during the quarter. Additional increases during 2002 were due to increases in business insurance expenses. Kentucky Operations also experienced additional costs related to the incremental Kentucky Derby security measures in May 2002. Hollywood Park operating expenses decreased for the quarter consistent with the decreases in revenue as a result of the four fewer live racing days and outsourcing its food service. Increases were also offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $0.3 million related to the adoption of the FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142) adopted January 1, 2002.Gross ProfitGross profit increased $1.5 million from $48.5 million in 2001 to $49.9 million in 2002 due to increased revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as a result of increased live racing days at Calder Race Course, record wagering results on Kentucky Derby and Oaks days and an increase in revenue for CDSN. These increases were offset by an increase in business insurance expenses, and other operating expenses, as discussed.
Selling, General and Administrative ExpensesSG&A expenses increased by $0.9 million from $8.0 million in 2001 to $8.9 million in 2002 primarily due to costs incurred by our Kentucky Operations related to the legislative gaming initiatives in 2002 and costs incurred by Arlington Park related to Illinois riverboat legislation.Other Income and ExpenseInterest expense decreased $1.1 million in 2002 primarily due to the use of available cash to pay down our line of credit since June 30, 2001, as well as a reduction in interest rates on the revolving loan facility resulting from the improvement in our leverage ratios and an overall decrease in LIBOR interest rates.
Restricted cash increased $6.4 million due to the timing of the Hollywood Park and Hoosier Park live meets. Hollywood Park and Hoosier Parks increases of $11.4 million and $4.1 million, respectively, were offset by a decrease of $9.3 million at Calder Race Course. Management of the horsemens cash and accounts payable accounts at Calder Race Course were taken over by the Florida Horsemans Benevolent and Professional Association (FHBPA). Restricted cash represents refundable deposits and amounts due to horsemen for purses, stakes and awards.Accounts receivable balances increased by $7.3 million in 2002 primarily due to the timing of payments received related to the 2002 live meets for Arlington and Hollywood Park with increases in accounts receivable balances of $3.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively.Other current assets increased $3.9 million primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in prepaid insurance with increases at all of our racetracks and $1.5 million of prepaid expenses at Arlington Park related to the 2002 Breeders Cup Championship. Arlington Park will host the event in October 2002.Accounts payable increased $34.6 million primarily due to the increase of horsemen accounts, purses payable and other expenses related to the operation of live racing at Arlington Park, Kentucky Operations, Hollywood Park and Hoosier Park. Calder Race Course decreased $9.3 million primarily due to FHBPA taking over management of the horsemens payable account.Dividends payable decreased $6.5 million at June 30, 2002 due to the payment of dividends in the first quarter of 2002.Deferred revenue decreased $8.4 million at June 30, 2002, primarily due to the significant amount of admissions and seat revenue that was received prior to December 31, 2001 recognized as income in May 2002 for the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks race days.
Long-term debt decreased $16.1 million as the result of the application of current cash flows to reduce borrowings under our bank line of credit during 2002.
The long-term debt decrease of $26.4 million was a result of the use of current cash flows to reduce borrowings under our bank line of credit since June 30, 2001.
Cash flows provided by operations were $41.8 million and $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash provided by operations increased slightly as compared to 2001 consistent with results from operations. Management believes cash flows from operations and available borrowings during 2002 will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the year, including capital improvements.Cash flows used in investing activities were $8.8 million and $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We used $8.8 million during 2002 for capital spending at our facilities including $2.1 million for the Master Plan renovation at our Kentucky Operations. We are planning capital expenditures, including the first phase of our Master Plan renovation, of approximately $20.0 million in 2002.Cash flows used in financing activities were $22.4 million and $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, reflecting the use of cash flows from operations to repay debt. We borrowed $141.7 million and repaid $156.9 million on our line of credit and paid dividends of $6.5 million during 2002.We have a $250 million line of credit under a revolving loan facility, of which $109.6 million was outstanding at June 30, 2002. 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.
We adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as described in Note 5 to the financial statements. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on our results of operations for all periods beginning on or after January 1, 2002 is to eliminate amortization of goodwill. Amortization expense will be reduced by $1.4 million for 2002 as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142. We completed the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that opinion). This statement also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The objectives of SFAS No. 144 are to address significant issues relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121 and to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002, did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002. We do not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have any significant effect throughout 2002.In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 addresses financial accounting and reporting for gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt. This statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers," SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" and amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Management anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have an effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
