Risks Related to Our Business We depend on Mountaineer and Presque Isle Downs for the majority of our revenues, and, therefore, any risks faced by those operations could have a material impact on our results of operations. We depend on agreements with our horsemen and parimutuel clerks to operate our business. We are required to schedule a minimum number of live racing days in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Our gaming operations are dependent on our linkage of slot machines to state central systems. We may face disruption in developing and integrating our Pennsylvania, and Minnesota operations and other facilities we may expand or acquire, including financing, construction and other development risk. We may elect to increase our capital investment and/or financial risk in Minnesota. Some of our intellectual property is not protected by federally registered trademarks; we rely on common law rights. We are subject to extensive regulation by gaming and racing authorities. We face significant competition from other gaming and racing facilities, and increased competition could have a material adverse effect on us. We depend on our key personnel. Our business may be materially and adversely affected by recession or economic downturn; the seasonal nature of our business could also materially and adversely affect our cash flow. We are subject to environmental laws and potential exposure to environmental liabilities. The concentration and evolution of the slot machine manufacturing industry could impose additional costs on us. Risks Related to Our Capital Structure Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health. The availability and cost of financing could have a material adverse effect on our business. To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash, which depends on many factors beyond our control.
