PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company") conducts pari-mutuel
wagering on live and simulcast Thoroughbred and Standardbred horse races and
conducts related business operations in Kentucky and Indiana. The Company was
organized as a Kentucky corporation in 1937. The Company is best known for the
Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks horse races which are run on the first weekend
in May of each year. Because the business of the Company is seasonal, the number
of persons employed will vary throughout the year. Approximately 500 individuals
are employed on a permanent year-round basis. During the live race meetings, as
many as 2,500 persons are employed.
A. KENTUCKY OPERATIONS
In Kentucky, the Company conducts Thoroughbred horse races,
accepts pari-mutuel wagering on such races and conducts related business
operations in Louisville at Churchill Downs, its racetrack facility located at
700 Central Avenue ("Churchill Downs") and at the Churchill Downs Sports
Spectrum, its off-site wagering facility located at 4520 Poplar Level Road
("Sports Spectrum"), both in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Company conducts Spring (late April to early July) and Fall
(late October to late November) live race meetings at its racetrack facility.
The Company conducted live racing on 74 days during the year ended December 31,
1995. For 1996, the Company has received a license to conduct live racing for a
total of 78 racing days on approximately the same dates as the prior year's
Spring and Fall race meetings.
Licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred race meetings and to
participate in simulcasting (discussed below) are approved annually by the
Kentucky Racing Commission ("KRC") based upon applications submitted by the
racetracks in Kentucky, including the Company. Although to some extent the
Company competes with other racetracks in Kentucky for the award of racing
dates, the KRC is required by state law to consider and seek to preserve each
track's usual and customary live racing dates. Generally, there is no
substantial change from year to year in the racing dates awarded to each track.
A substantial change in the allocation of live racing days could impact the
Company's operations and earnings.
Since November 1988, the Company has participated in intertrack
simulcasting in Kentucky. Intertrack simulcasting occurs when a racetrack
located in Kentucky, which is conducting a live race meeting (the "host track"),
arranges for the telecast of audio and visual signals of its live races
("simulcast") at another racetrack located in Kentucky (the "receiving track")
for the purpose of accepting pari-mutuel wagers on these races from patrons at
the receiving track. Churchill Downs currently participates in intertrack
simulcasting as both a receiving track (sometimes referred to below as
"intertrack receiving") and a host track (sometimes referred to below as
"intertrack host"). Starting in fiscal year 1991, Churchill Downs has conducted
intertrack simulcasting in Kentucky as a host track for all of its live racing
days except Kentucky Derby Day. In 1995, for the first time Churchill Downs
offered the simulcast of its races on Kentucky Derby Day. During the year ended
December 31, 1995, Churchill Downs conducted intertrack simulcasting as a
2
receiving track in Kentucky for a total of 209 days. In 1996, Churchill Downs
has been licensed as a receiving track for any and all possible dates from
January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996.
The Company participates in interstate simulcasting whereby
Churchill Downs sends the simulcast of its live races to other tracks and
off-track betting facilities located in other states and in foreign countries
for the purpose of accepting pari-mutuel wagers on these races from patrons
located at those facilities. Churchill Downs plans to increase the interstate
and international exportation of its live race signal in fiscal year 1996.
Churchill Downs also receives interstate simulcasts of races run
outside of the state and accepts pari-mutuel wagers on such races (referred to
as "whole card simulcasting"). In July 1994, Kentucky authorized licensed
racetracks and satellite facilities located in Kentucky to conduct whole card
simulcasting. Whole card simulcasting has created a major new wagering
opportunity for patrons at Churchill Downs and the Sports Spectrum. The Sports
Spectrum, which previously could only display one or perhaps two horse race
programs run at other tracks in the state (with limited exceptions), now
operates year around showing multiple quality racing programs from around the
nation. Whole card simulcasting enables Churchill Downs to better utilize the
Sports Spectrum asset. It also helps Churchill Downs access new markets for
exporting the simulcast of Churchill Downs' live race product as Churchill Downs
now is able to reciprocate by importing out of state simulcast signals.
As a result of changes made to Kentucky law in 1992, the Company
and three other Kentucky Thoroughbred racetracks have formed Kentucky Off-Track
Betting, Inc. ("KOTB"). The Company is a 25% shareholder in KOTB. KOTB's purpose
is to own and operate facilities for the simulcasting of races and the
acceptance of wagers on such races at locations other than a racetrack
("simulcast facilities"). A simulcast facility may be located no closer than 75
miles from an existing racetrack without the track's consent and in no event
closer than 50 miles to an existing track. Each simulcast facility must first be
approved by the KRC. Once approved, the simulcast facility may then be
established unless the local government where the facility is to be located
votes to disapprove its establishment. KOTB currently owns and operates
simulcast facilities in Corbin, Maysville and Jamestown, Kentucky, all of which
were opened in 1993, and a simulcast facility in Pineville, Kentucky which
opened in September, 1995.
The Company anticipates that simulcast facilities developed by
KOTB will provide additional markets for the simulcast of the Company's live
races. By statute, of the amount retained by KOTB on wagers (net of taxes)
placed at a simulcast facility on the Company's races, 30% is paid to the
Company, 30% is set aside for the Company's horsemen, 6% is retained by KOTB to
cover its operating expenses and 34% is paid to a Breeders Award Fund
administered by the KRC. Any KOTB expenses not covered by its 6% are funded by
the Company during the period of time KOTB takes the Company's races. In
addition, the Company may also receive dividends from KOTB. KOTB is not expected
to have a significant impact on operations.
3
The Company believes that intertrack and interstate simulcasting
(both sending and receiving) will continue to be a revenue growth area for
Churchill Downs in 1996.
In November 1992, the Company opened the Sports Spectrum. The
facility was a Standardbred racetrack before the Company acquired it in January
of 1992 and converted it for use as a simulcast and pari-mutuel wagering
facility. This property was subject to contamination as a result of the prior
existence of underground and above ground storage tanks on the site. A
remediation plan for the property has been submitted to the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. A Risk Assessment Report has been filed with the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and the Company is waiting for a determination by the Commonwealth of
Kentucky as to whether additional remediation is required. One million dollars
in funds for the remediation had been set aside by the sellers of the property
to defray the cost of the remediation. Substantially all of the $1,000,000 hold
back has been utilized as of December 31, 1995. The remediation has also been
approved to receive funds up to $995,000, from the Kentucky Petroleum Storage
Tank Environmental Assurance Fund (the "Fund"). In addition, the Company may
offset any additional costs against additional amounts payable to the sellers
for the acquisition of the property. It is not anticipated that the Company will
have any liability as a result of compliance with environmental laws with
respect to the property.
The Company has renovated the racetrack portion of the Louisville
Sports Spectrum facility for use as a Thoroughbred stabling and training area
for 500 horses. The Company does not intend to conduct live horse races at the
facility at this time. While the Company still has the option to conduct
intertrack and interstate simulcasting at its main facility located on Central
Avenue, the Company plans to conduct most intertrack and interstate simulcasting
at the Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum. The Company began using the simulcasting
facility as the site of a Thoroughbred "horses in training" sale in 1995.
B. INDIANA OPERATIONS
In Indiana, the Company conducts both Thoroughbred and
Standardbred horse races, accepts pari-mutuel wagering on such races and
conducts related business operations at Hoosier Park, a racetrack facility
located at 4500 Dan Patch Circle in Anderson, Indiana ("Hoosier Park"). Hoosier
Park is owned by Hoosier Park, L.P. ("HPLP"), an Indiana limited partnership
formed in 1994. The Company owns an 87% interest in HPLP through Anderson Park,
Inc. ("Anderson"). Anderson is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Churchill Downs
Management Company ("CDMC"). CDMC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The remaining 13% is held by an unrelated third party, Pegasus Group, Inc.
("Pegasus"). Anderson is HPLP's sole general partner. CDMC has entered into a
management agreement with HPLP pursuant to which CDMC has operational control of
the day-to-day affairs of Hoosier Park and its related simulcast operations. The
Company, through CDMC, has loaned, and committed to advance, up to $28.7 million
in loans and capital contributions to HPLP for the development of the racetrack
and related satellite wagering facilities.
4
Hoosier Park conducts both live Thoroughbred and Standardbred
race meetings. The Company commenced live Standardbred racing in Indiana on
September 1, 1994 and conducted live racing on 54 days during the year ended
December 31, 1994. For 1995, the Company conducted live racing for a total of
146 racing days, including 104 days of live Standardbred racing and 42 days of
live Thoroughbred racing. In 1996, the Company has received a license to conduct
133 days of live racing including 80 days of Standardbred racing and 53 days of
Thoroughbred racing.
In 1994, HPLP was also licensed to construct and operate four
satellite wagering facilities located in Merrillville, Indiana, Ft. Wayne,
Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Jeffersonville, Indiana. Three of these
facilities opened in 1995: Merrillville on January 25, 1995, Ft. Wayne on April
26, 1995, and Indianapolis on October 25, 1995. The license for the
Jeffersonville, Indiana facility was surrendered in July, 1995 because ownership
of the tentative site was in question and resolution was not expected in the
near future. The Company is continuing to evaluate sites for the location of the
fourth satellite wagering facility.
The State of Indiana has recently enacted legislation which
requires a county fiscal body to adopt an ordinance permitting satellite
wagering facilities before such a facility can be located in that county. The
county fiscal body may require in the ordinance that the voters of the county
must approve the operation of a satellite wagering facility in that county. This
new legislation may affect the Company's ability to locate a facility in certain
counties.
In Indiana, the Company engages in whole card simulcasting at the
Company's racetrack in Anderson, Indiana. At its simulcast wagering facilities,
the Company offers pari-mutuel wagering on races simulcast from Hoosier Park and
whole card simulcasting. Indiana law provides that so long as Hoosier Park
conducts live racing for a total of not less than 120 days per year, whole card
simulcasting can be conducted year round at Hoosier Park and each of the
simulcasting facilities.
Licenses to conduct live Standardbred and Thoroughbred race
meetings and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the Indiana
Horse Racing Commission ("IHRC") based upon applications submitted by the
Company. Currently, the Company is the only facility in Indiana conducting live
Standardbred or Thoroughbred race meetings and participating in simulcasting.
During 1995, Sagamore Park, LLC ("Sagamore") was licensed to construct a
racetrack in Shelbyville, Indiana but that license was suspended on January 22,
1995 and Sagamore surrendered the license to the IHRC on May 8, 1995 because of
Sagamore's failure to commence construction of its racetrack's facility and
otherwise provide the Commission with certain financing information.
Hoosier Park also participates in interstate simulcasting whereby
Hoosier Park sends the simulcast of its live races to other tracks and off-track
betting facilities located in other states for the purpose of accepting
pari-mutuel wagers on these races from patrons located at those facilities.
Hoosier Park plans to increase the interstate exportation of its live race
signal in fiscal year 1996.
The Company believes that simulcasting (both sending and
receiving) will continue to be a revenue growth area for Hoosier Park in 1996.
5
In January 1995, Hoosier Park opened the "Churchill Downs Sports
Spectrum at Merrillville", in Merrillville, Indiana. The 27,300 square foot
facility is designed exclusively for the simulcast of horse races and the
conducting of pari-mutuel wagering. The Merrillville, Indiana facility is also
subject to contamination related to prior business operations adjacent to the
property. The contamination on the property is being remediated under the State
of Indiana's voluntary remediation program. The State of Indiana approved the
remediation plan in May of 1995 and it is anticipated that remediation will be
completed during 1996. The Company has obtained an indemnity concerning the cost
of remediation from the prior owner of the property. The cost of remediation
could be up to $50,000. Except as discussed herein and with respect to the
Sports Spectrum, compliance with environmental laws has not affected the ability
to develop and operate the Company's properties and the Company is not otherwise
subject to any material compliance costs in connection with federal or state
environmental laws.
On December 20, 1995, Anderson, HPLP and Pegasus entered into a
Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement with Conseco HPLP, L.L.C. ("Conseco")
for the sale of 10% of the Company's partnership interest in HPLP to Conseco.
The purchase price for the 10% partnership interest will be $218,000 and the
acquisition of a 10% interest in the debt owed by HPLP to CDMC at face value of
debt at the date of the closing (approximately $2,530,000). The purchase is
subject to the approval of the Indiana Horse Racing Commission. Following the
purchase, Conseco and Pegasus will be limited partners of HPLP and Anderson will
continue to be the sole general partner of HPLP. Thereafter through December 31,
1998, Conseco will have an option to purchase from Anderson an additional 47%
partnership interest in HPLP. The purchase price of the additional partnership
interest will be $22,156,000 of which approximately $6,222,000 will be allocated
to the purchase of the partnership interest and approximately $15,934,000 will
be allocated to the acquisition of debt owed by HPLP to CDMC. This purchase is
also subject to the approval of the IHRC. Following this purchase, Conseco will
be the sole general partner of HPLP and Anderson and Pegasus will be limited
partners of HPLP. CDMC will have a long-term management agreement with HPLP
pursuant to which CDMC has operational control of the day-to-day affairs of
Hoosier Park and its related simulcast facilities.
C. SOURCES OF INCOME
The Company's principal sources of income are as follows:
commissions from on-track pari-mutuel wagers, commissions from intertrack
simulcasting and interstate simulcasting received by the Company, fees from
interstate simulcasting sent by the Company to other states, admissions and
seating, concession commissions (primarily for sale of food and beverages), and
license, rights, broadcast and sponsorship fees.
6
The Company's primary source of income is pari-mutuel wagering.
The Company retains the following amounts on specific revenue streams as a
percentage of handle:
KENTUCKY INDIANA
On-track pari-mutuel wagers 15% 19%
Intertrack host 9% --
Interstate/simulcast host 5% 3%
Intertrack/simulcast receiving 7% 18%
The Company's next major source of income is admission and
seating revenue, which was 13% of total revenue for the year ended December 31,
1995. Average daily on-track attendance at Churchill Downs has declined since
1989; however, during the same period increases in intertrack and interstate
simulcast revenues in Kentucky have substantially offset the related decline in
admission and seating revenue. In addition, declines in daily average attendance
do not impact upon Churchill Downs' admission and seating revenue
proportionately since Churchill Downs receives approximately 50% of its
admission and seating revenue from the Kentucky Derby weekend.
The Company holds federal servicemark registrations on the names
"Kentucky Derby", "Churchill Downs", "Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum",
"Kentucky Oaks" and the twin spires design in various categories including
entertainment business, apparel, paper goods, printed matter and housewares and
glass. The Company licenses the use of the servicemarks and derives revenue from
such license agreements; during the year ended December 31, 1995, gross revenue
derived from such licensing was less than 2% of total revenues. Hoosier Park has
applied for federal servicemark registration of the name "Indiana Derby".
The Company hosted its first Thoroughbred sale on May 3, 1995.
The sale did not contribute significantly to operations. The second sale,
scheduled during Derby week, in 1996 is not expected to contribute significantly
to operations. It is not anticipated that the Thoroughbred sale will become a
revenue growth area for the Company.
7
D. OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS
From 1986 through 1995, the Thoroughbred industry as a whole has
seen depressed prices for the sale of Thoroughbreds at all stages of their
career. Although prices continue to be significantly below peak prices of the
mid-eighties, 1993-1995 sales have shown improvement. There have also been
numerous bankruptcies or other financial failures of Thoroughbred farms since
the mid-eighties. As a result, the number of Thoroughbred foals born has
decreased each year until 1995 which showed a 1.4% increase. The long term trend
has lead to an industry wide decline in the number of Thoroughbreds available to
run in races. Racetracks may be competing for horses to participate in live
racing and some racetracks now offering live racing may be forced to curtail or
eliminate live events and rely more heavily or exclusively on simulcast
receiving for revenue. The Company believes that because of the significant
Thoroughbred industry infrastructure in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the
Company's live racing product will not be as heavily impacted by the decline in
Thoroughbreds. Moreover, the Company is well positioned to provide live racing
product to the emerging simulcast market in other states and internationally.
The Company generally does not directly compete with other
racetracks or simulcast facilities for patrons due to geographic separation of
such facilities. However, the Company competes with other entertainment options
for patrons for both live racing and simulcasting. The Company competes with
other sports and other entertainment and wagering options available to consumers
including riverboat gambling and lotteries. The Company attempts to attract
patrons by providing the highest quality racing products in attractive
entertainment facilities with well-priced, appealing concession services. The
Company is the premier racetrack in Kentucky for both live racing and
simulcasting, based upon total handle and attendance, and the only facility in
Indiana providing live and simulcast racing.
The development of riverboat gaming facilities began along the
Ohio River in Indiana pursuant to authorizing legislation passed by the State of
Indiana in 1993. Such legislation provided for local communities to vote to
approve or disapprove the operation of riverboat gaming operations in their
community. In November 1995, Floyd and Clark Counties of Indiana, which are
adjacent to Louisville, Kentucky, voted to reject such operations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company intends to review potential
opportunities for an investment in a riverboat casino. Communities in other
sections of Indiana adjacent to northern and western Kentucky and near
Louisville, Kentucky have authorized riverboat casino operations. Applications
for the conduct of such operations are currently pending before the Indiana
Gaming Commission. One license has been issued in Evansville, Indiana to Aztar,
Inc. ("Aztar"). Aztar began operations in December of 1995. It is anticipated
that riverboat casino operations will commence elsewhere on the Ohio River
during the second quarter of 1996. A portion of admission taxes assessed by the
state on riverboat gaming is paid to pari-mutuel tracks.
8
Indiana law allows up to five licensed riverboat casinos on the
Ohio River and one on Patoka Lake which is approximately 40 miles from
Louisville. In addition, licenses to conduct similar operations on Lake Michigan
near the Company's Merrillville, Indiana satellite wagering facility have been
granted by the Indiana Gaming Commission. Indiana law allows up to five
riverboat casino licenses to be issued on Lake Michigan. The Potawatomi Indian
Tribe has also expressed an interest in establishing a land based casino
operation in southwestern Michigan and northeastern Indiana, also near the
Company's Merrillville satellite wagering facility. The Company anticipates that
the commencement of such operations will have a negative impact upon the
Company's wagering activities, although the extent of the impact is unknown at
this time due in part, to the uncertain geographic distances between the
Company's operations and the number of potential casino sites.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company owns its racetrack site and improvements located at
or adjacent to 700 Central Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky (the "racetrack
facility"). The racetrack facility consists of approximately 157 acres of land
with a one-mile oval dirt track, a seven eighths (7/8) mile turf track and
sprinklered, permanent grandstands (including food and beverage facilities). The
racetrack facility seats approximately 48,500 persons. The site also has parking
facilities for the public, office facilities, sprinklered barns and stables
sufficient to accommodate approximately 1,400 horses and other facilities for
backstretch personnel.
The Company has made numerous capital improvements to the
racetrack facility in the past ten years in order to better meet the needs of
its horsemen and patrons. The dirt and turf tracks provide an excellent venue
for live Thoroughbred racing. The Company's ability to provide stabling
facilities and a training track for horses at the racetrack facility is limited,
but additional facilities have been developed, as discussed below. The Company's
physical plant, including grandstands, restaurant facilities, parking, etc., is
fully utilized only on the weekend on which the Company conducts the running of
the Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby races or when it hosts the Breeders' Cup
Championship Day races ("Breeders' Cup Day").
The Company also owns the real property and improvements known as
the Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum. This property, acquired in 1992, is
approximately 7 miles from the Company's racetrack facility. Located on
approximately 90 acres of land, Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum is a former
Standardbred racetrack. The grandstand/clubhouse has been renovated and
converted for use as a simulcast and pari-mutuel wagering facility. The facility
seats approximately 3,000 persons and includes parking, offices and related
facilities. The property also includes a three quarters (3/4) mile dirt track
which is used for training Thoroughbreds. Also located at the property is a
stabling area for horses. As part of the renovation of the facility, the Company
demolished existing barns and constructed enough new barns to accommodate
approximately 500 horses. The barns and training track provide additional stalls
and training facilities for the Company.
The Kentucky Derby Museum is operated on property adjacent to the
Company's racetrack facility. The Museum is owned and operated by the Kentucky
Derby Museum Corporation, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
9
Through its subsidiary, HPLP, the Company owns and operates a
racetrack site and improvements in Anderson, Indiana. The racetrack facility
consists of approximately 105 acres of leased land with a 7/8th mile oval dirt
track and sprinklered, permanent grandstands. This racetrack facility seats
approximately 2,400 persons. The site also has parking facilities for the
public, office facilities, barns and stables sufficient to accommodate 780
horses and other facilities for back stretch personnel. During 1995, Hoosier
Park made $3.1 million in improvements to stabling, paddock, dormitory and other
facilities to accommodate Thoroughbred racing dates in the last half of 1995.
Hoosier Park also owns satellite wagering facilities in
Merrillville, Indiana, Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Indianapolis, Indiana. The
Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum at Merrillville consists of approximately 27,300
square feet of space. The Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum at Ft. Wayne consists
of approximately 15,750 square feet of space. Hoosier Park also leases
approximately 17,800 square feet of space in the Claypool Courts Building in
Indianapolis where it operates the Churchill Downs Sports Spectrum at
Indianapolis. The Merrillville facility opened in January, 1995, the Ft. Wayne
facility opened in April, 1995 and the Indianapolis location opened in October,
1995.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company, to which
it is a party or of which any of its property is the subject and no such
proceedings are known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This discussion and analysis contains both historical and forward
looking information. The forward looking statements are made pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward looking statements may be significantly impacted by certain risks and
uncertainties described here in, and in the Company's annual report on form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.
For many years, the Company has conducted live Spring and Fall
race meetings for Thoroughbred horses in Kentucky. The Kentucky Derby and
Kentucky Oaks, which are run on the first weekend in May of each year, continue
to be the Company's outstanding attractions. In 1995, Derby weekend accounted
for approximately 21% of total on-track pari-mutuel wagering and 25% of total
on-track attendance for the Company's Kentucky operations. For the first time in
1995, the Derby day races were simulcast to all racetracks and simulcast
facilities in the state of Kentucky. In 1988, the Company began to participate
in intertrack simulcasting as a host track for all of its live races except
those run on Kentucky Derby Day. In 1989, the Company commenced operations as a
receiving track for intertrack simulcasting. During November 1991, the Company
began interstate simulcasting for all of the live races with the receiving
locations participating in the Company's mutuel pool. In July 1994, the Company
began to participate in whole card simulcasting, whereby the Company began
importing whole race cards or programs from host tracks located outside the
state for pari-mutuel wagering purposes. Whole card simulcasting has created a
major new wagering opportunity for patrons of the Company in both Kentucky and
Indiana.
The Company hosted the 1994 Breeders' cup races in November which
generated approximately 10% of the total pari-mutuel wages accepted on track and
8% of total on-track attendance. The Company may be the host site for the
Breeders' Cup Event Day in the future.
At its meeting held on November 18, 1993, the Board of Directors
of the Company voted to change the fiscal year end of the Company from January
31 to December 31. Accordingly, in 1993 the Company's eleven month period began
on February 1, 1993 and ended on December 31, 1993.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Churchill Downs, through its subsidiary, Hoosier Park, L.P., is
majority owner and operator of Indiana's only pari-mutuel racetrack, Hoosier
Park at Anderson. Start-up costs incurred in Indiana during 1995 included
improvements to Hoosier Park in anticipation of the track's inaugural
Thoroughbred meet. In addition, Hoosier Park conducted two Harness race meets,
as well as simulcast wagering, during its first 16 months of operation. In 1995,
the Company opened off-track wagering facilities in Merrillville, Fort Wayne and
downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The license for the Jeffersonville, Indiana
facility was surrendered in July 1995 because ownership of the tentative site
was in question and resolution was not expected in the near future. The Company
is continuing to evaluate sites for the location of a fourth satellite wagering
facility.
The Company's principal sources of income are commissions from
on-track pari-mutuel wagers, commissions from intertrack and fees from
interstate simulcast wagers, admissions and seating, concession commissions
(primarily for the sale of food and beverages), and license, rights, broadcast
and sponsorship fees. The Company's primary source of income is pari-mutuel
wagering. The Company retains the following amounts on specific revenue streams
as a percentage of handle:
KENTUCKY INDIANA
On-track pari-mutuel wagers 15% 19%
Intertrack host 9% --
Interstate/simulcast host 5% 3%
Intertrack/simulcast receiving 7% 18%
The consolidated gross operating margins have declined the past
two years. A slight decline was felt in 1994 after whole card simulcasting (with
its slimmer margins) was legalized in Kentucky in July of that year, coupled
with the start-up costs associated with the opening of Hoosier Park in September
1994. Margins continued to drop in 1995 due to the full year impact of both
whole card simulcasting in Kentucky, a full year of operations at Hoosier Park
and start-up costs for the three satellite wagering facilities opened in Indiana
during 1995.
In Kentucky, licenses to conduct Thoroughbred race meetings and
to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the Kentucky Racing
Commission based upon applications submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky,
including the Company. Based on gross figures for on-track pari-mutuel wagering
and attendance, the company is the leading thoroughbred racetrack in Kentucky.
In Indiana, licenses to conduct live Standardbred and
Thoroughbred race meetings and to participate in simulcasting are approved
annually by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission based upon applications
submitted by the Company. Currently, the Company is the only facility in Indiana
licensed to conduct live Standardbred or Thoroughbred race meetings and to
participate in simulcasting.
In Kentucky, the Company conducted live racing during the period
from April 29, 1995 through July 4, 1995, and from October 29, 1995 through
November 25, 1995, for a total of 74 racing days compared to 73 racing days in
1994. In Indiana, the Company commenced live racing on September 1, 1994 and
conducted live racing 54 days during the year ended December 31, 1994. In 1995,
the Company conducted live racing for a total of 146 racing days, including 104
days of Standardbred racing from April 1, 1995 through August 20, 1995, and 42
days of Thoroughbred racing from September 1, 1995 through October 28, 1995.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION (continued)
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO 1994
Pari-mutuel revenue during the twelve months ended December 31,
1995 increased $23,674,752. The Company's subsidiary Hoosier Park generated 74
percent, or $17,321,012, of the increase in pari-mutuel revenue which when
combined with admissions, concessions, programs, and other revenue totalled
$18,783,355 in revenues. License and rights revenues were up 12% primarily due
to increased race sponsorships and souvenir licensing at Churchill Downs. This
revenue increase is due largely to the 821 operating days of whole card
simulcasting offered beginning January 1, 1995 at Hoosier Park, January 25 in
Merrillville, Indiana, April 26 in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and October 25 in
Indianapolis, Indiana. Simulcasting has been well received in Indiana with an
average daily handle of $112,966.
The advent of whole card simulcasting helped increase simulcast
receiving revenue by $2,881,470 in the state of Kentucky, with Simulcast Host
revenue increasing by $3,932,211 due largely to marketing of the Churchill Downs
live racing product to a record number of interstate simulcast outlets. Whole
card simulcasting was also largely responsible for the increase in program
revenue due to two or more programs and racing forms being sold per day.
Revenues from the Derby Expansion Area, referred to as Marquee Village, were up
19% largely due to the addition of a covered seating area near the racetrack's
first turn. The backside of the Churchill Downs racetrack facility was closed
during the first quarter of 1994 for maintenance and repair for the first time
in several years which reduced other revenue. Other revenue was higher in 1994
primarily due to hosting the Breeders' Cup Day Event.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Operating expenses increased $24,431,384 during the twelve month
period. This increase is primarily due to the live and simulcasting operations
at Hoosier Park combined with the opening of the Indiana off-track wagering
facilities. The largest single increase in meet expenses are the higher purses
which are a direct result of increased handle from whole card simulcasting in
Kentucky and Indiana. Purse expense varies directly with pari-mutuel revenues
and is calculated as a percentage of the related handle revenue and may change
from year to year pursuant to contract or statute. Whole card simulcasting and
Hoosier Park operations were also primarily responsible for increased wages,
advertising and marketing, audio, video, totalisator, program expenses and
other. Wages and contract labor increased due to additional days and hours of
operation related to whole card simulcasting at Sports Spectrum and Hoosier
Park. The simulcast host fee is the amount paid to the host track in exchange
for receiving the tracks' races. This expense is based on handle, and is
directly related to the $18 million increase in simulcasting revenue.
Depreciation and amortization increases are attributed to the
addition of the Indiana facilities of which 77%, or $921,909 of the total
expense is related to Hoosier Park. Indiana operations contributed 84%, or
$782,200 to the total increase in utilities and 70%, or $537,225 to insurance,
taxes and license fees.

$1,139,248. The increase was primarily related to increases in wages and
benefits of $506,491 and professional fees of $404,083, most of which were
related to Indiana operations. Interest expense increased by $397,245 largely
due to the borrowings necessary to fund the construction of three satellite
wagering facilities and Thoroughbred improvements in Indiana. Interest income
was lower due to less cash available for short-term investment.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO 1993
Net revenue during the year ended December 31, 1994 increased
$8,822,916. The Company's new subsidiary Hoosier Park generated 47 percent or
$3,625,944 of the increase in pari-mutuel revenue which combined with
admissions, concessions, programs, and other revenue totalled $4.9 million in
revenues. This facility opened September 1, 1994 with live Standardbred racing
for 54 days. From November 5, 1994, Hoosier Park conducted whole card
simulcasting for 45 days.
The advent of whole card simulcasting in the state of Kentucky
helped increase simulcast receiving revenue by 26%. Whole card simulcasting was
also largely responsible for the increase in program revenue due to 2 or more
programs and racing forms being sold per day, coupled with 25 additional
simulcast receiving days and higher average attendance.
Simulcast Host revenues rose 63% due to additional tracks
receiving the Churchill Downs live racing signal in 1994. The increase in
intertrack-host revenue is primarily due to the Kentucky whole card simulcasting
legislation, passed in 1994, which provided for the host track to receive a
percentage of all simulcast wagering conducted within the state of Kentucky.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Operating expenses rose $7,230,276 during the year. This increase
is primarily due to the operations of Hoosier Park and due to the higher purses
which are a direct result of increased handle from whole card simulcasting. In
Kentucky and Indiana purse expense varies directly with pari-mutuel revenues and
is calculated as a percentage of the related revenue and may change from year to
year pursuant to contract or statute. Whole card simulcasting and Hoosier Park
operations were also primarily responsible for increased wages, advertising and
marketing, audio, video and signal distribution, program expenses and other.
Wages and contract labor increased due to additional days and hours of operation
related to whole card simulcasting at Sports Spectrum and Hoosier Park.
Simulcast host fees, a new expense in 1994, is the amount paid to the host track
in exchange for receiving the tracks' races. This expense is based on handle and
is directly related to the $1.8 million increase in simulcast receiving revenue.
Totalisator expense fell by $348,277 due to a new contract with the totalisator
company. Other expense increased primarily due to expenses at Hoosier Park in
1994 and expenses related to the training center at the Sports Spectrum in
Louisville, including maintenance, manure removal and ambulance service.

Selling, general and administrative costs were essentially
unchanged on a twelve month comparable basis. Increases in wages, professional
fees and other expenses related to the opening of Hoosier Park in September,
1994 were almost entirely offset by decreased spending in the Business
Development area. Interest income decreased and interest expense increased due
to the cash requirements related to the construction and start-up operation in
Indiana.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO DECEMBER 31, 1994
The increase in cash and cash equivalents in 1995 is the result
of declining cash requirements from the Company's Indiana operations. In 1994
the Company was preparing to open satellite wagering facilities in Merrillville
and Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Racing plant and equipment increased by $7,913,762 during 1995.
The Company's Indiana operations received $6,468,000 of these additions,
primarily in the form of three satellite wagering facilities in the state and
three million dollars in improvements at Hoosier Park that were necessary for
the Thoroughbred race meet.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses have increased by
$2,913,430 mostly due to increases in purses payable related to the increase in
simulcast revenue, and due to the normal increase in operating payables related
to three additional simulcast facilities in Indiana. The increase in income
taxes payable is due to the timing of the Company's fourth quarter payments
which were made in January for 1995, versus December in 1994.
Notes payable have decreased as the Company continues to retire
debt incurred with the acquisition and construction of its Indiana operations.
Outstanding mutuel tickets have increased in relation to the increase in
business due to whole card simulcasting in Kentucky and the opening of the three
additional simulcast wagering facilities in Indiana.

CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE BALANCE SHEET DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO DECEMBER 31, 1993
The decrease in cash balances and the increase in fixed assets
reflect additions for the training facility at the Sports Spectrum, construction
of the Hoosier Park racetrack facility in Anderson, Indiana and satellite
wagering facilities in Merrillville, Indiana and Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
Accounts receivable at December 31, 1994 were $1,438,984 lower
than December 31, 1993. The decrease was due to the December 1993 billing of
Turf Club and Season Box revenue for the 1994 racing meets. Such billings for
the 1995 racing meets were not billed until January 1995.
Other assets, notes payable and deferred income taxes increased
due to the racing license acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of
Anderson Park, Inc. A $1,000,000 escrow deposit with the Indiana Horse Racing
Commission ("IHRC") was made as a commitment to open the Anderson Park facility
by September 1, 1994; the deposited funds were subject to forfeiture to the
State of Indiana, in whole or in part, at the discretion of the IHRC, if the
racetrack was not opened by that date. The racetrack opened September 1, and the
refund was received by September 30, 1994.
Accounts payable at December 31, 1994 were $2,318,467 higher than
December 31, 1993 due principally to liabilities for the construction of
satellite wagering facilities in Merrillville, Indiana and Ft. Wayne, Indiana
and normal operating liabilities at the Hoosier Park racetrack facility.
Additionally, purses payable increased due to whole card simulcasting which
commenced in Kentucky July 22, 1994.
At December 31, 1994 the Company had dividends payable of
$1,891,759 related to the annual dividend payment payable on January 13, 1995
which was declared at the November 17, 1994 Board of Directors meeting.

Deficiency in working $(10,433,929) $(10,131,254) $ (776,756)
capital
Working Capital ratio .45 to 1 .35 to 1 .96 to 1
The working capital deficiency results from the nature and
seasonality of the Company's business. Cash flows from operations were
$15,402,814 for the year ended December 31, 1995, $11,399,973 for the year ended
December 31, 1994 and $8,726,596 for the eleven months ended December 31, 1993.
Management believes cash flows from operations during 1996 and funds available
under the Company's unsecured line of credit will be sufficient to fund dividend
payments and additions and improvements to the racing plant and equipment.
Cash flow from operations funded $850,000 of the Anderson Park,
Inc. stock purchase in January 1994. Similarly, cash flow from operations and,
as necessary, funds available under the unsecured line of credit were used to
fund up to $14 million for construction of the Hoosier Park racing facility in
Anderson, Indiana. During 1995, Churchill Downs also funded an additional $6.5
million to construct three satellite wagering facilities in Indiana and
improvements which allowed for Thoroughbred racing at Hoosier Park.
The Company has a $20,000,000 unsecured line-of-credit with $14.0
million available at December 31, 1995 to meet working capital and other
short-term requirements. Management believes that the Company has the ability to
obtain additional long-term financing should the need arise.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation", is effective for the Company's year ended
December 31, 1996. This statement introduces a fair-value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation, but allows companies that choose not to
adopt the new rules to continue to apply the existing accounting rules contained
in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting For Stock Issued to
Employees", provided proforma net income and earnings per share disclosures are
provided under the new method. Management does not believe this statement will
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or the
consolidated results of its operations.
During the eleven months ended December 31, 1993, the Company
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requiring a change in accounting
for income taxes. The cumulative effect of this change, $61,000, or $.01 per
share, is included in earnings for the period ended December 31, 1993. Prior
year results have not been restated.

eleven month period ended December 31, 1993 as listed in Item 14 of this Form
10-K. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Churchill Downs
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and
December 31, 1993 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and for the eleven month
period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. In addition, in our opinion, the consolidated financial statement
schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects, the
information required to be included therein for the years ended December 31,
1995, December 31, 1994, and for the eleven month period ended December 31,
1993.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes as of February 1, 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company") conducts Spring and Fall
live race meetings for Thoroughbred horses and participates in
intertrack and interstate simulcast wagering as a host track and as a
receiving track in Kentucky. In Indiana, the Company, through its
subsidiary, Hoosier Park L.P. (Hoosier Park), conducts live Thoroughbred
and Standardbred race meetings and participates in simulcast wagering.
Both its Kentucky and Indiana operations are subject to regulation by
the racing commissions of the respective states.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Churchill Downs
Management Company and Anderson Park Inc. and its majority owned
subsidiary, Hoosier Park, L.P. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
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 dates of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWS:
CASH EQUIVALENTS:
The Company considers investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has, from time to
time, had cash in bank in excess of federally insured limits.
RACING PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Racing plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided by accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets.
DEFERRED REVENUE:
Deferred revenue includes advance sales of tickets.
32
CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
RECLASSIFICATION:
Certain prior year accounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net earnings by the
weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding.
Common share equivalents included in the computation represent shares
issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options which would have a
dilutive effect on earnings. Such equivalents had no material effect on
the computation for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
IMPACT OF REPORTING PERIOD:
In 1993, the Company changed to a calendar year from a fiscal year
ending January 31. The change of fiscal year resulted in a transition
period of eleven months which began February 1, 1993 and ended December
31, 1993.

December 31, 1993.
3. INCOME TAXES:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, as of February 1, 1993. SFAS No.
109 changes the method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred
to the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income
taxes at the end of each period are determined by using the enacted tax
rates for the years in which the taxes are expected to be paid or
recovered. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be recovered. Under the
deferred method, deferred income taxes were recognized using the tax
rates in effect when the tax was first recorded.
The adoption of SFAS No. 109 required revaluation of the Company's
deferred income tax liability to reflect the provisions of this
statement. The cumulative effect of this change as of February 1, 1993
increased net earnings for the eleven months ended December 31, 1993 by
approximately $61,000, or $.01 per share. Prior year financial
statements were not restated for this accounting change.

At December 31, 1995, the Company has operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $3,000,000 for Indiana State income tax purposes expiring
from 2009 through 2010. Based on the weight of evidence, both negative
and positive, including the lack of historical earnings in the state of
Indiana, the Company has provided a valuation allowance because it is
unable to assert that it is more likely than not to realize some portion
or all of the deferred tax asset attributable to the Indiana State
income tax net operating loss carry forwards.

7. STOCK OPTIONS:
At the June, 1994 annual meeting of stockholders, a stock option plan
for key employees was approved. Options may be granted on no more than
200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The plan provides for granting of options to buy shares of the Company's
common stock intended either to qualify as "incentive stock options"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or "nonqualified stock options"
not intended to so qualify. In accordance with the plan, options are
exercisable over a 10 year period from date of grant.
Stock option activity follows:

All incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options granted
during 1995 and 1994 were granted at the closing high bid quotation on
the business day immediately preceding the date of grant. In November
1993, nonqualified stock options were granted at $46.00, the February 1,
1993 market price. The excess of the current market value of the stock
at the date of grant over the option price has been accounted for as
deferred compensation and is being expensed over the vesting period,
three years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", is effective for the Company's year ended
December 31, 1996. This statement introduces a fair-value based method
of accounting for stock-based compensation, but allows companies that
choose not to adopt the new rules to continue to apply the existing
accounting rules contained in Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25
"Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees", provided proforma net income
and earnings per share disclosures are provided under the new method.
Management has not decided whether it will adopt FASB No. 123 to compute
compensation charges, but does not believe that the statement will have
a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
the consolidated results of its operations.
8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 107,
"Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," is a part of a
continuing process by the FASB to improve information on financial
instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the
Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for such financial
instruments as defined by the Statement:
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents approximates its fair value.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings under its line of
credit agreements and other long-term debt approximates fair value,
based upon current interest rates.
9. ACQUISITION
On January 26, 1994 the Company purchased Anderson Park, Inc. ("API")
for approximately $1,950,000. API owned an Indiana Standardbred racing
license and was in the process of constructing a racing facility in
Anderson, Indiana. Subsequently, the facility was completed and
contemporaneously with the commencement of operations on September 1,
1994, the net assets of API were contributed to a newly formed
partnership, Hoosier Park, L.P. in return for an 87% general partnership
interest.

10. CONTINGENCIES
On January 22, 1992, the company acquired certain assets of Louisville
Downs, Incorporated for $5,000,000. In conjunction with this purchase,
the Company withheld $1,000,000 from the amount due to the sellers to
offset certain costs related to the remediation of environmental
contamination associated with underground storage tanks at the site.
Substantially all of the $1,000,000 hold back has been utilized as of
December 31, 1995. The remediation has also been approved to receive
funds up to $995,000 from the Kentucky Petroleum Storage Tank
Environmental Assurance Fund (the "Fund"). In addition, the Company may
offset any additional costs against additional amounts payable to the
sellers for the acquisition of the property.
It is not anticipated that the Company will have any liability as a
result of compliance with environmental laws with respect to the
property. Compliance with environmental laws has not otherwise affected
development and operation the property and the Company is not otherwise
subject to any material compliance costs in connection with federal or
state environmental laws.
11. AGREEMENT TO SELL 10% OF HOOSIER PARK
In December 1995, the Company entered into a Partnership Interest
Purchase Agreement with Conseco HPLP, L.L.C. ("Conseco") for the sale of
10% of the Company's partnership interest in HPLP to Conseco. The
purchase price for the 10% partnership interest will be $218,000 and the
acquisition of a 10% interest in the debt owed by HPLP to CDMC at face
value of debt at the date of the closing (approximately $2,530,000). The
purchase is subject to the approval of the Indiana Horse Racing
Commission. Following the purchase, Conseco and Pegasus will be limited
partners of HPLP and Anderson will continue to be the sole general
partner of HPLP. Such a sale is not anticipated to have any material
effect on operations in 1996.
From the date of the closing through December 31, 1998, Conseco will
have an option to purchase from Anderson an additional 47% partnership
interest in HPLP. The purchase price of the additional partnership
interest will be $22,156,000 of which approximately $6,222,000 will be
allocated to the purchase of the partnership interest and approximately
$15,934,000 will be allocated to the acquisition of debt owed by HPLP to
CDMC. This purchase is also subject to the approval of the IHRC.
Following this purchase, Conseco will be the sole general partner of
HPLP, Anderson and Pegasus will be limited partners of HPLP. CDMC will
continue to have a long-term management agreement with HPLP pursuant to
which CDMC has operational control of the day-to-day affairs of Hoosier
Park and its related simulcast operations.
