Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

May 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at November 30, 2012, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K for International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ISC”). In management’s opinion, the statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The objective of this Update is to set requirements for presentation for significant items reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period and for items not reclassified to net income in their entirety during the period. For public entities, the amended requirements are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. This statement only impacts disclosures of reclassification adjustments and is not material to the Company's financial statement presentation.The Company will adopt the amendments of this statement in fiscal 2014.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants. At May 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility.

In March 2012, the Company utilized additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility to redeem and retire all outstanding $87.0 million principal amount of the 5.40 percent Senior Notes, including the payment of a tender premium of approximately $9.0 million and accrued interest. The net tender premium associated with the unamortized net deferred financing costs and unamortized original issuance discount were recorded as loss on early redemption of debt totaling approximately $9.1 million.

Total interest expense from continuing operations incurred by the Company was approximately $2.9 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $6.3 million and $7.8 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Total interest capitalized for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013 was approximately $1.2 million and $0.3 million, and approximately $2.7 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013.

Financing costs of approximately $5.0 million and $4.7 million, net of accumulated amortization, have been deferred and are included in other assets at November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2013, respectively. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method, over the life of the related financing.

7. Financial Instruments

Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:


•	Level 1 — observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets


•	Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)


•	Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At May 31, 2013, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $57.6 million which are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheets. All inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 1 inputs.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. The Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. These inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 2 inputs. The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was approximately $301.2 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $276.9 million and approximately $296.5 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $276.6 million at November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company had no level 3 inputs as of May 31, 2013.

8. Capital Stock

Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a share repurchase program (“Stock Purchase Plan”) under which it is authorized to purchase up to $330.0 million of its outstanding Class A common shares. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The Stock Purchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. No

Table of Contents

shares have been or will be knowingly purchased from Company insiders or their affiliates.

Since inception of the Plan through May 31, 2013, the Company has purchased 7,063,962 shares of its Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $268.3 million. The Company did not purchase any shares of its Class A common shares during the three month period ended May 31, 2013. Transactions occur in open market purchases and pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At May 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $61.7 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.

Annual Dividends

The Company declared an annual dividend of $0.22 per share, payable on June 28, 2013, to common stockholders of record on May 31, 2013. The Company paid an annual dividend of $0.20 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

9. Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan

In May 2013, the Company awarded and issued a total of 80,514 restricted shares of the Company’s Class A common shares to certain officers and managers, under the Company’s Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The shares of restricted stock awarded in May 2013, vest at the rate of 50.0 percent on the third anniversary of the award date and the remaining 50.0 percent on the fifth anniversary of the award date. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted share awards was $32.87 per share. In accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” the Company is recognizing stock-based compensation on its restricted shares awarded on the accelerated method over the requisite service period.

10. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the changes in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from shareholder transactions. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):



	November 30, 2012		May 31, 2013
Terminated interest rate swap, net of tax benefit of $3,448 and $3,236, respectively	$	5,296	$	4,967

11. Income Taxes

As of May 31, 2013, in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company has a total liability of approximately $2.4 million for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of tax and interest. Of this amount, approximately $1.9 million represents income tax liability for uncertain tax positions related to various state income tax matters. If the accrued liability was de-recognized, approximately $1.3 million of taxes would impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate. Included in the balance sheet at May 31, 2013 are approximately $0.7 million of items of which, under existing tax laws, the ultimate deductibility is certain but for which the timing of the deduction is uncertain. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, a deduction in a subsequent period would result in a deferred tax asset. Accordingly, upon de-recognition, the tax benefits associated with the reversal of these timing differences would have no impact, except for related interest, on the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. As of May 31, 2013, the total amounts for accrued interest were approximately $0.5 million and there were no amounts related to penalties. If the accrued interest was de-recognized, approximately $0.3 million would impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to these various state matters including interest charges through May 31, 2013.

The Company's effective income tax rate of 39.3 percent for the three month period ended May 31, 2012, approximated the statutory income tax rate. Certain state adjustments, including adjustments to uncertain state tax positions, are the principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013. As a result of these items, the Company's effective income tax rate is approximately 38.4 percent for the three months ended May 31, 2013, and 37.6 percent and 38.7 percent for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

12. Related Party Disclosures and Transactions

All of the racing events that take place during the Company’s fiscal year are sanctioned by various racing organizations such as the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, the American Motorcyclist Association, the Automobile Racing Club of America, the American Sportbike Racing Association — Championship Cup Series, the Federation Internationale de L’Automobile, the Federation Internationale Motocycliste, Grand American Road Racing Association (“Grand American”), Historic Sportscar Racing, IZOD IndyCar Series, National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”), National Hot

Table of Contents

Rod Association, the Porsche Club of America, the Sports Car Club of America, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association, the United States Auto Club and the World Karting Association. NASCAR, which sanctions many of the Company’s principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls approximately 72.0 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of November 30, 2012, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company. Standard NASCAR sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Prize and point fund monies paid by the Company to NASCAR from continuing operations for disbursement to competitors, which are exclusive of NASCAR sanction fees, totaled approximately $40.4 million and $41.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $62.7 million and $64.7 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $89.6 million and $92.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $143.3 million and $149.7 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds (“2002 STAR Bonds”) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse the Company for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the speedway’s boundaries and are not the Company’s obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal and any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At May 31, 2013, the Unified Government had approximately $1.7 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support KSC’s guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

In connection with the Company’s automobile and workers’ compensation insurance coverages and certain construction contracts, the Company has standby letter of credit agreements in favor of third parties totaling approximately $4.0 million at May 31, 2013. At May 31, 2013, there were no amounts drawn on the standby letters of credit.

Current Litigation

The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation incidental to its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. In addition, on February 23, 2013, during the last lap of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona"), an on-track incident resulted in debris from a race car entering the grandstands and injuring numerous spectators. Claims have been filed as a result of this incident, however the Company is confident that it has adequate insurance to cover any losses, in excess of its $1.5 million deductible, resulting from claims surrounding this incident.

14. Segment Reporting

The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at its major motorsports entertainment facilities. The reporting units within the motorsports segment portfolio are reviewed together as the nature of the products and services, the production processes used, the type or class of customer using our products and services, and the methods used to distribute our products or provide their services are consistent in objectives and principles, and predominately uniform and centralized throughout the Company. The Company’s remaining business units, which are comprised of the radio network production and syndication of numerous racing events and programs, certain souvenir merchandising operations not associated with the promotion of motorsports events at the Company’s facilities, construction management services, leasing operations, and financing and licensing operations are included in the “All Other” segment. The Company evaluates financial performance of the business units on operating profit after allocation of corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Corporate G&A expenses are allocated to business units based on each business unit’s net revenues to total net revenues.

15. Subsequent Event

Daytona Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

The Company has recently announced that it is redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona, the Company's 54-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for its fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry. The redevelopment of Daytona has been branded the Daytona Rising project.

As part of the Daytona Rising project, the Company has entered into a Design-Build Agreement with Barton Malow Company (“Barton Malow”), which obligates us to pay Barton Malow approximately $316.0 million for the completion of the work described in the Design-Build Agreement. The amount is a stipulated sum to be paid for the work, which may not change unless the Company requests a change in the scope of work. The Design-Build Agreement contains certain provisions and representations usual and customary for agreements of this type, including, among others, provisions regarding liquidated damages to be assessed for work that is not completed according to the agreed upon schedule, provisions regarding payment schedules, and provisions regarding bonding and liability insurance policies applicable to the work. In addition, the Design-Build Agreement contains customary provisions regarding termination, review and inspection of the work, warranties and the use of subcontractors.

The Company currently anticipates the Daytona Rising project to cost between $375.0 million to $400.0 million, excluding capitalized interest. Total expenditures incurred for the Daytona Rising project through May 31, 2013 were approximately $15.0 million. The Company expects to fund the Daytona Rising project from cash on hand, cash from its operations and may use borrowings on its credit facility for a limited period of time.

Upon review of the Design-Build agreement documents and drawings, the Company believes that there are assets with carrying values of approximately $50.0 million that may be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets may require accelerated depreciation, impairments, or losses on disposal, over the next 26 months.

PART I.	FINANCIAL INFORMATION



ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

General

The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. We derive revenues primarily from (i) admissions to motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities held at our facilities, (ii) revenue generated in conjunction with or as a result of motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities conducted at our facilities, and (iii) catering, concession and merchandising services during or as a result of these events and amusement activities.

“Admissions, net” revenue includes ticket sales for all of our racing events and other motorsports activities and amusements, net of any applicable taxes.

“Motorsports related” revenue primarily includes television and ancillary media rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including luxury suites, chalets and the hospitality portion of club seating), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of our trademarks, parking and camping revenues, and track rental fees.

“Food, beverage and merchandise” revenue includes revenues from concession stands, direct sales of souvenirs, hospitality catering, programs and other merchandise and fees paid by third party vendors for the right to occupy space to sell souvenirs and concessions at our motorsports entertainment facilities.

Direct expenses include (i) prize and point fund monies and National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing’s (“NASCAR”) sanction fees, (ii) motorsports related expenses, which include labor, advertising, costs of competition paid to sanctioning bodies other than NASCAR and other expenses associated with the promotion of all of our motorsports events and activities, and (iii) food, beverage and merchandise expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of goods sold.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While our estimates and assumptions are based on conditions existing at and trends leading up to the time the estimates and assumptions are made, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We continually review our accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in the financial statements.

The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. We consolidate all entities we control by ownership of a majority voting interest and variable interest entities for which we have the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses. Our judgment in determining if we consolidate a variable interest entity includes assessing which party, if any, has the power and benefits. Therefore, we evaluate which activities most significantly affect the variable interest entities economic performance and determine whether we, or another party, have the power to direct these activities.

We apply the equity method of accounting for our investments in joint ventures and other investees whenever we can exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee. Our consolidated net income includes our share of the net earnings or losses from these investees. Our judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investee includes considering factors such as our ownership interest, board representation and policy making decisions. We periodically evaluate these equity investments for potential impairment where a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. We eliminate all significant intercompany transactions from financial results.

Revenue Recognition. Advance ticket sales and event-related revenues for future events are deferred until earned, which is generally once the events are conducted. The recognition of event-related expenses is matched with the recognition of event-related revenues.

NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of

Table of Contents

the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event.

Our revenues from marketing partnerships are paid in accordance with negotiated contracts, with the identities of partners and the terms of sponsorship changing from time to time. Some of our marketing partnership agreements are for multiple facilities and/or events and include multiple specified elements, such as tickets, hospitality chalets, suites, display space and signage for each included event. The allocation of such marketing partnership revenues between the multiple elements, events and facilities is based on relative selling price. The sponsorship revenue allocated to an event is recognized when the event is conducted.

Revenues and related costs from the sale of merchandise to retail customers, internet sales and direct sales to dealers are recognized at the time of sale.

Business Combinations. All business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Whether net assets or common stock is acquired, fair values are determined and assigned to the purchased assets and assumed liabilities of the acquired entity. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over fair value of the net assets acquired (including recognized intangibles) is recorded as goodwill. Business combinations involving existing motorsports entertainment facilities commonly result in a significant portion of the purchase price being allocated to the fair value of the contract-based intangible asset associated with long-term relationships manifest in the sanction agreements with sanctioning bodies, such as NASCAR and Grand American Road Racing Association (“Grand American”) series. The continuity of sanction agreements with these bodies has historically enabled the facility operator to host motorsports events year after year. While individual sanction agreements may be of terms as short as one year, a significant portion of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of acquired tangible assets is commonly paid to acquire anticipated future cash flows from events promoted pursuant to these agreements which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and therefore, in accordance with ASC 805-50, “Business Combinations,” are recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill.

Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When we construct assets, we capitalize costs of the project, including, but not limited to, certain pre-acquisition costs, permitting costs, fees paid to architects and contractors, certain costs of our design and construction subsidiary, property taxes and interest.

We must make estimates and assumptions when accounting for capital expenditures. Whether an expenditure is considered an operating expense or a capital asset is a matter of judgment. When constructing or purchasing assets, we must determine whether existing assets are being replaced or otherwise impaired, which also is a matter of judgment. Our depreciation expense for financial statement purposes is highly dependent on the assumptions we make about our assets’ estimated useful lives. We determine the estimated useful lives based upon our experience with similar assets, industry, legal and regulatory factors, and our expectations of the usage of the asset. Whenever events or circumstances occur which change the estimated useful life of an asset, we account for the change prospectively.

Interest costs associated with major development and construction projects are capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Interest is typically capitalized on amounts expended using the weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings, since we typically do not borrow funds directly related to a development or construction project. We capitalize interest on a project when development or construction activities begin, and cease when such activities are substantially complete or are suspended for more than a brief period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our consolidated balance sheets include significant amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets which could be subject to impairment. As of May 31, 2013, goodwill and other intangible assets and property and equipment accounts for approximately $1.6 billion, or 81.0 percent of our total assets. We account for our goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” and for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

We follow applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets which specifies, among other things, non-amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires testing for possible impairment, either upon the occurrence of an impairment indicator or at least annually. We complete our annual testing in our fiscal fourth quarter, based on assumptions regarding our future business outlook and expected future discounted cash flows attributable to such assets (using the fair value assessment provision of applicable authoritative guidance), supported by quoted market prices or comparable transactions where available or applicable.

While we continue to review and analyze many factors that can impact our business prospects in the future (as further described in “Risk Factors”), our analysis is subjective and is based on conditions existing at, and trends leading up to, the time the estimates and assumptions are made. Different conditions or assumptions, or changes in cash flows or profitability, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the impairment evaluation and our future condition or

Table of Contents

results of operations. The adverse economic trends of the most recent recession, which impacted credit availability, consumer confidence and unemployment levels, contributed to the decrease in attendance related, as well as corporate partner, revenues for certain of our motorsports events. Despite this, we believe there has been no significant change in the long-term fundamentals of our ongoing motorsports event business. We believe our present operational and cash flow outlook further support our conclusion.

In connection with our fiscal 2012 assessment of goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment we used the methodology described above. We believe our methods used to determine fair value and evaluate possible impairment were appropriate, relevant, and represent methods customarily available and used for such purposes. Our latest annual assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 indicated there had been no impairment and the fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units, except for one reporting unit. The estimated fair value for this one reporting unit, which has goodwill of less than $20.0 million, exceeded the carrying value by less than 5 percent as determined using our internal discounted cash flow methodology. We believe the most recent comparable market transactions would support a substantially higher valuation.

In addition, our growth strategy includes investing in certain joint venture opportunities. In these equity investments we exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee, which adds an additional element of risk that can adversely impact our financial position and results of operations. The carrying value of our equity investments was $141.1 million at May 31, 2013.

Income Taxes. Tax laws require that certain items be included in our tax return at different times than when these items are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses not deductible on our tax return. However, some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense, and these temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in our financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. Actual income taxes could vary significantly from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or changes or adjustments resulting from final review of our tax returns by taxing authorities, which could also adversely impact our cash flow.

In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50.0 percent likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

Contingent Liabilities. Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on our view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. In the ordinary course of business, we consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and other experts both within and outside our Company. We accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. We disclose the matter but do not accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is reasonably possible and an estimate of loss is not determinable. Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

In February 2012, Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, opened the Hollywood-themed and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway (“Kansas”). Penn is the managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for the operations of the casino.

We have accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in our financial statements as of May 31, 2012 and 2013. Start up and related costs through opening were expensed through equity in net income from equity investments. Our 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income is approximately $1.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $1.1 million and $4.3 million for the six months ended

May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and is included in equity in net income from equity investments in our consolidated statements of operations.

Distributions from Kansas Entertainment, for the six months ended May 31, 2013, totaling $9.5 million, consists of $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on our statement of cash flows, and the remaining $4.5 million received, which was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on our statement of cash flows.

Staten Island Property

Our wholly owned indirect subsidiary, 380 Development, LLC (“380 Development”), owns 676 acres located in the New York City borough of Staten Island. We are currently in exclusive negotiations with an interested buyer for 380 Development. The timing of any closing is uncertain and we cannot assure that one will occur as a result of these exclusive negotiations.

Motorsports Authentics

We are a partner with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC, which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the name Motorsports Authentics (“MA”). MA designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports licensed merchandise. Our investment in MA was previously reduced to zero and we did not recognize any net income or loss from operations of MA during the six months ended May 31, 2012 or 2013, respectively.

Stock Purchase Plan

An important component of our capital allocation strategy is returning capital to shareholders. We have solid operating margins that generate substantial operating cash flow. Using these internally generated proceeds, we have returned a significant amount of capital to shareholders primarily through our share repurchase program.

We have a share repurchase program (“Stock Purchase Plan”) under which we are authorized to purchase up to $330.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The Stock Purchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. No shares have been or will be knowingly purchased from Company insiders or their affiliates.

Since inception of the Plan through May 31, 2013, we have purchased 7,063,962 shares of our Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $268.3 million. We did not purchase any shares of our Class A common shares during the three month period ended May 31, 2013. Transactions occur in open market purchases and pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At May 31, 2013, we had approximately $61.7 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three month period ended May 31, 2012, approximated the statutory income tax rate. Certain state tax adjustments, including adjustments to uncertain state tax positions, are the principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013. As a result of these items, our effective income tax rate is approximately 38.4 percent for the three months ended May 31, 2013, and 37.6 percent and 38.7 percent for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Future Trends in Operating Results

We compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits.

The unprecedented adverse economic trends, which significantly impacted consumer confidence and disproportionately affected different demographics of our target customers, have influenced the frequency with which guests attended our major motorsports entertainment events. Recurring uncertainty in regional economic conditions and further weakening in the economy may adversely impact attendance levels, guest spending levels, and our ability to secure corporate marketing partnerships in the future. Reductions in any of these categories can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability. Beginning in 2009 we mitigated the decline of certain revenue categories with sustainable cost containment initiatives. Beginning in 2012, we re-instituted merit pay increases to more normalized levels. Certain non-controllable costs, such as NASCAR sanction fees, have increased this year and we may continue to experience incremental increases. While we are sustaining the significant cost reductions previously implemented, we do not expect further significant cost reductions.

Admissions

Achieving event sellouts and creating excess demand are crucial to the optimal performance of our major motorsports facilities that host NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. An important component of our operating strategy has been our long-standing practice of focusing on supply and demand when evaluating ticket pricing and adjusting capacity at our facilities. By effectively managing both ticket prices and seating capacity, we have historically shown the ability to stimulate ticket renewals and advance ticket sales.

Advance ticket sales result in earlier cash flow and reduce the potential negative impact of actual, as well as forecasted, inclement weather. With any ticketing initiative, we first examine our ticket pricing structure for each segmented area within our major motorsports entertainment facilities to ensure prices are on target with market demand. When determined necessary, we adjust ticket pricing. We believe our ticket pricing is consistent with current demand, providing attractive price points for all income levels.

It is important that we maintain the integrity of our ticket pricing model by rewarding our customers who purchase tickets during the renewal period. We do not adjust pricing downward inside of the sales cycle to avoid rewarding last-minute ticket buyers by discounting tickets. Further, we closely monitor and manage the availability of promotional tickets. All of these factors could have a detrimental effect on our ticket pricing model and long-term value of our business. We believe it is more important to encourage advance ticket sales and maintain price integrity to achieve long-term growth than to capture short-term incremental revenue. We continue to implement innovative ticket pricing strategies whereby prices increase over time as well as price increases week of/day of races to capture incremental revenues.

Adjusting seating capacity is another strategy to promote sellouts, create excess demand and in turn increase capacity utilization at our major motorsports facilities. Over the past few years, we have reduced capacity at our major motorsports facilities. A significant portion of the capacity reduction was a result of providing improved fan amenities such as wider seating and creating social zones. We are evaluating certain of our major motorsports facilities for further reductions in capacity. The areas within our major motorsports facilities that we are considering reducing capacity include removing seats that do not provide sufficient engagement for our customers, such as inadequate site lines. Based on experience and the evolution of modern sports facilities, demand depends in part on the fans' experience. Enhancing the live event experience for our fans is a critical strategy for our future growth. Other benefits of increasing capacity utilization may include better pricing power for our events; purchasing tickets sooner by our customers; increasing customer retention; driving attendance to our lead-in events, such as NASCAR's Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events; and a more visually compelling event for the television audience. We will continue to monitor market demand and sports entertainment best-in-class amenities, which could further impact capacity at certain of our major motorsports facilities.

The industry and its stakeholders are committed to growing the sport and have aligned with NASCAR as it initiates its five-year Industry Action Plan (“IAP”) to connect with existing fans, as well as engage Gen Y, youth and multicultural consumers in motorsports. Additional areas of focus within the IAP, supported by all stakeholders to enhance the appeal of NASCAR racing, include building product relevance, cultivating driver star power, growing social media activities and enhancing the event experience.

We are supporting the IAP on a number of fronts. Specifically, we are redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona International Speedway (“Daytona”), the Company's 54-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry (See "Daytona Rising: Reimagining an American Icon").

We are also committed to meeting and exceeding our customers expectations at our other motorsports facilities through on-going capital improvements at these facilities. We are providing our fans enhanced audio and visual experiences, comfortable and wider seating, additional concession and merchandise points-of-sale, more social zones and greater social connectivity.

Corporate Partnerships

The number of Fortune 500 companies invested in NASCAR remains higher than any other sport. Nearly one-in-four Fortune 500 companies use NASCAR as part of their marketing mix. For the second consecutive year, the number of Fortune 500 companies involved in NASCAR increased; and is an eight percent improvement over 2008.

We believe that our presence in key metropolitan statistical areas, year-round event schedule, impressive portfolio of major motorsports events and attractive fan demographics are beneficial as we continue to pursue renewal and expansion of existing corporate marketing partnerships and establish new corporate relationships.

Our corporate sales team continues to generate strong levels of interest from corporate prospects. Entering the 2013 motorsports season, we had less open entitlement inventory compared to the beginning of the 2012 motorsports season. All of our available NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series entitlements have been sold for the year.

Television Broadcast and Ancillary Media Rights

Domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights fees revenues are an important component of our revenue and earnings stream. Starting in 2007, NASCAR entered into combined eight-year agreements with FOX, ABC/ESPN, TNT and SPEED for the domestic broadcast and related rights for its three national touring series - Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck. The agreements total approximately $4.5 billion over the eight-year period from 2007 through 2014. This results in an approximate $560.0 million gross average annual rights fee for the industry, a more than 40.0 percent increase over the previous contract average of $400.0 million annually. The industry rights fees were approximately $585.0 million for fiscal 2012, and will be approximately $605.0 million for 2013 and $630.0 million for 2014.

FOX and TNT have been strong supporters of NASCAR racing since 2001, and both have played a major role in the sport's climb in popularity. We have, and expect to continue to see, ongoing broadcast innovation in their coverage of NASCAR racing events. Also notable was the return of ESPN to the sport in 2007, which it helped build throughout the 1980s and 1990s. ESPN's coverage and weekly ancillary NASCAR-related programming continue to promote the sport across its various channels.

While the media landscape continues to evolve, we believe NASCAR's position in the sports and entertainment industry remains strong. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series remains the second highest rated regular season sport on television. Fan engagement for the sport is at its highest in three years, according the Nielsen, with viewers tuning in for 46 percent of all minutes, on average, across all Sprint Cup races in 2012.

For the 2012 season, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events ranked among the top 2 sports of the weekend on television 20 out of 36 point event weekends in 2012. On average, 4.1 million households and 5.8 million viewers tuned into each NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event during the year. Also, over 70 million unique viewers tuned into a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event during the year. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is the number two sport among all key demographic groups, trailing only the NFL. In addition, the NASCAR Nationwide Series is the second-highest rated motorsports series on television and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is the third-highest rated motorsports series on cable television.

Benefiting NASCAR as well as other sports, is that sports broadcasts are the least time-shifted genre of television programming. According to Nielsen, during 2012, 99.0 percent of sporting events were consumed within the same day of airing among 18-49 year olds. Benefiting advertisers is that television viewers who recalled the ads were 10.0 percent more likely to remember the advertiser's brand during sports programs when compared to non-sports programs in 2012.

NASCAR's solid ratings as well as other factors such as the strong demand for live broadcasting and the proliferation of digital video recorders (“DVR”) -- According to Nielsen, 50.3 million of the nation's 114.2 million homes with a television have a DVR. And, CBS research indicates DVR usage has grown 6.0 percent for the 2012 television season compared with the same period in the prior season -- were contributing factors to FOX signing an eight-year extension of its broadcast rights. Industry sources value the extension at more than $2.4 billion over eight years, an approximate 36.4 percent increase over the current agreement that expires after the 2014 season. The agreement with FOX also includes TV Everywhere rights, which will allow FOX to stream the races it broadcasts to FOX Sports-affiliated websites. As a result of the FOX agreement, we believe NASCAR has a strong negotiating position for the remaining media rights inventory.

This past March, Fox announced that it is launching a 24-hour Fox Sports 1 network to compete with ESPN. Fox Sports 1 will debut in August 2013 in approximately 90.0 million TV households. Beginning in 2015, a select number of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races will be on the channel. In addition, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races; NASCAR Sprint All-Star race; all Speedweeks events leading up to the Daytona 500 including: Daytona 500 qualifying, Sprint Unlimited at Daytona (for fiscal years 2014 and, 2017 through 2022) and the Budweiser Duel, now in prime time; NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practice and qualifying sessions; NASCAR RaceDay, providing pre- and post-race coverage; NASCAR Victory Lane, a weekly wrap-up show; and Race Hub, a daily mid-day studio show with the latest from drivers, owners and garages, will be featured on Fox Sports 1.

In addition to NASCAR, Fox Sports 1 has new or renewed deals for Major League Baseball, college football and basketball, Ultimate Fighting Championship as well as other sports. Fox Sports 1 represents the latest in the long migration of marquee sports from broadcast TV to cable/satellite, who generally can support a higher investment due to subscriber fees that are not available to traditional networks.

Domestic broadcast rights fees provide significant cash flow visibility to us, race teams and NASCAR over the contract term. Television broadcast rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events conducted at our wholly owned facilities under these agreements, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $89.1 million and $92.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $142.8 million and $147.7 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Operating income generated by these media rights were approximately $65.2 million and $67.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $104.2 million and $109.2 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

We also benefit from NASCAR's ancillary rights agreements for which we receive a share of contracted revenues from various partners. Through ancillary rights sharing we receive, at times, revenues for international broadcasting, NASCAR images, specialty pay-per-view telecasts and other media content distribution. The various contracted agreements are negotiated separately by NASCAR, and vary in terms and duration.

As media rights revenues fluctuate so do the variable costs tied to the percentage of broadcast rights fees required to be paid to competitors as part of NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series sanction agreements. NASCAR prize and point fund monies, as well as sanction fees (“NASCAR direct expenses”), are outlined in the sanction agreement for each event and are negotiated in advance of an event. As previously discussed, included in these NASCAR direct expenses are amounts equal to 25.0 percent of the gross domestic television broadcast rights fees allocated to our NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events, as part of prize and point fund money (See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Revenue Recognition”). These annually negotiated contractual amounts paid to NASCAR contribute to the support and growth of the sport of NASCAR stock car racing through payments to the teams and sanction fees paid to NASCAR. As such, we do not expect these costs to materially decrease in the future as a percentage of admissions and motorsports related income.

Sanctioning Bodies

Our success has been, and is expected to remain, dependent on maintaining good working relationships with the organizations that sanction events at our facilities, particularly with NASCAR, whose sanctioned events at our wholly owned facilities accounted for approximately 90.1 percent of our revenues in fiscal 2012. NASCAR continues to entertain and discuss proposals from track operators regarding potential realignment of their portfolio of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series dates to more geographically diverse and potentially more desirable markets where there may be greater demand, resulting in an opportunity for increased revenues to the track operators. We believe that realignments have provided, and will continue to provide, incremental net positive revenue and earnings as well as further enhance the sport's exposure in highly desirable markets, which we believe benefits the sport’s fans, teams, sponsors and television broadcast partners as well as promoters.

Capital Improvements

Enhancing the live event experience for our guest is a critical strategy for our future growth. We compete for the consumers' discretionary dollar with other entertainment options such as concerts and other major sporting events not just motorsports events. We remain convinced that our focus on driving incremental earnings by improving the fan experience will in time lead to increased ticket sales with better pricing power, growth in sponsorship and hospitality sales, continued growth in broadcast media rights fees agreements, and greater potential to capture market share.

Today's consumer wants improved traffic flow, comfortable and wider seating, clean and available facilities, more points of sales, enhanced audio and visual engagement, social zones and greater connectivity. We also anticipate modest capital spending on other projects for maintenance, safety and regulatory requirements. We are confident that by delivering memorable guest experiences, along with attractive pricing and fantastic racing, we will generate increased revenues as well as bottom-line results.

While we focus on allocating our capital to generate returns in excess of our cost of capital, certain of our capital improvement investments may not provide immediate, directly traceable near term positive returns on invested capital but over the longer term will better enable us to effectively compete with other entertainment venues for consumer and corporate spending.

We recently announced that we are redeveloping the frontstretch of Daytona, the Company's 54-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry. It is vital that we continue to elevate our Daytona brand to ensure that it remains the pinnacle of motorsports facilities, which will generate further profitability and cash flow to the Company. The redevelopment of Daytona has been branded the Daytona Rising project (See "Daytona Rising: Reimagining an American Icon").

Growth Strategies

Our growth strategies also include exploring ways to grow our businesses through acquisitions and external developments that offer attractive financial returns. This has been demonstrated through our joint venture to develop and operate a Hollywood-themed and branded entertainment destination facility overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway (see “Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway”).

The Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway provided positive cash flow to us and included positive equity income in our consolidated statement of operations for fiscal 2012. We expect, based on current trends, that Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway will reach stabilization by 2015 calendar year as it gains market share in Kansas City. We expect for our 2013 fiscal year that our share of the cash flow from the casino's operations will be approximately $20.0 million dollars.

We are interested in pursuing further ancillary development at certain of our other motorsports facilities.

Postponement and/or Cancellation of Major Motorsports Events

We promote outdoor motorsports entertainment events. Weather conditions affect sales of, among other things, tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at these events. Poor weather conditions prior to an event, or even the forecast of poor weather conditions, could have a negative impact on us, particularly for walk-up ticket sales to events which are not sold out in advance, as well as renewals for the following year. If an event scheduled for one of our facilities is delayed or postponed because of weather or other reasons such as, for example, the general postponement of all major sporting events in the United States following the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks, we could incur increased expenses associated with conducting the rescheduled event, as well as possible decreased revenues from tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at the rescheduled event. If such an event is canceled, we would incur the expenses associated with preparing to conduct the event as well as losing the revenues, including any live broadcast revenues, associated with the event.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

We derive most of our income from a limited number of NASCAR-sanctioned races. As a result, our business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal based on the timing of major racing events. Future schedule changes as determined by NASCAR or other sanctioning bodies, as well as the acquisition of additional, or divestiture of existing, motorsports entertainment facilities could impact the timing of our major events in comparison to prior or future periods. Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2013, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The following financial information is presented below using other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”), and is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share below are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for certain items presented in the accompanying selected operating statement data, net of taxes.

We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful, and is used by investors to assess our core operations, which consist of the ongoing promotion of racing events at our major motorsports entertainment facilities. Such non-GAAP information identifies and separately displays and adjusts for items that are not considered to be reflective of our continuing core operations at our motorsports entertainment facilities. We believe that such non-GAAP information improves the comparability of the operating results and provides a better understanding of the performance of our core operations for the periods presented. We use this non-GAAP information to analyze the current performance and trends and make decisions regarding future ongoing operations. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or diluted earnings per share, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered independent of or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide such information to investors.

The adjustments for 2012 relate to carrying costs of our Staten Island property, settlement of litigation, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assets, loss on early redemption of debt and net gain on sale of certain assets.

The adjustments for 2013 relate to carrying costs of our Staten Island property, legal judgment, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assets and certain costs incurred associated with our Daytona Rising project.

Comparability of results for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 to the same periods in fiscal 2012 was impacted by the following:

•

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a charge relating to a legal judgment of litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations of approximately $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recognized a charge relating to a settlement of a litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations of approximately $1.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share;


•	During the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized $0.3 million and $0.7 million, or $0.01 and $0.01 per diluted share, respectively, in certain costs related to the Daytona Rising project;

•

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million, or $0.01 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively, of losses associated with asset retirements primarily attributable to the removal of assets not fully depreciated in connection with certain capital improvements. Included in these losses were approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million of cash expenditures related to demolition and/or asset relocation costs for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $5.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share of similar losses;


•	During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recognized approximately $9.1 million in expenses, or $0.12 per diluted

share, related to the redemption of the remaining $87.0 million principal 5.40 percent Senior Notes maturing in 2013;

•

For the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, we recognized approximately $3.2 million and $4.3 million of income, respectively, from equity investments associated with our Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $1.4 million and $1.1 million of income, respectively, from this equity investment, which included results of operations beginning in February 2012, net of charges related to certain start up costs through the opening; and


•	During the six month period ended May 31, 2012, we recorded approximately $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, net gain on the sale of certain assets.

Admissions revenue decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 4.2 percent, and $3.4 million, or 4.8 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease for the three and six month periods ending May 31, 2013 is largely attributable to decreased attendance for certain events held during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, which includes the impact of inclement weather at Talladega, as well as a lower weighted average ticket price for certain of the events. Also contributing to the decrease for the six month period ending May 31, 2013 is decreased attendance for certain events held during Speedweeks at Daytona. The 2012 Daytona 500 was postponed for a day due to inclement weather. Historically, rain delayed or postponed events due to inclement weather have a negative impact on the following year's ticket renewals for those events. As a result of the postponement in 2012, we believe the 2013 Daytona 500 renewals were negatively impacted, which contributed to a significant portion of the six month period decline.

Motorsports related revenue increased approximately $0.3 million, or 0.2 percent, and $4.1 million, or 2.0 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases for the three and six month periods are largely attributable to increases in television broadcast revenue for certain events held during the three month period and during Speedweeks at Daytona. Also contributing to the increase for the six month period was an increase in the estimated payout of fiscal 2012 ancillary rights fees. Partially offsetting the three and six month increases were lower Motor Racing Network advertising, Sprint Vision revenues, and corporate sponsorship.

Food, beverage and merchandise revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2013 was comparable to the same period in the prior year, and decreased approximately $0.9 million, or 3.6 percent, for the six month period ended May 31, 2013, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease for the six month period is primarily due higher sales in fiscal 2012 driven by an extra day of selling opportunity as a result of the aforementioned rain delayed and rescheduled Daytona 500. To a lesser extent, also contributing to the decrease was lower catering and merchandise revenues for certain other events held during Speedweeks at Daytona in fiscal 2013.

Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees increased approximately $1.3 million, or 2.6 percent, and $2.4 million, or 3.2 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases for the three and six month periods are primarily due to increases in television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events held during the periods as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements require a specific percentage of television broadcast rights fees to be paid to competitors. Higher sanction fees paid to NASCAR also contributed to the increases.

Motorsports related expenses increased approximately $0.1 million, or 0.4 percent, and $0.5 million, or 0.8 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The slight increase in the three month period is primarily attributable to expenses related to track rentals, maintenance, and to a lesser extent, the aforementioned merit pay increases. Slightly offsetting this increase were decreases in other services in the period as compared to prior year. The increases for the six month period is largely attributable to aforementioned merit pay increases and maintenance costs. Slightly offsetting this increase were decreases in advertising expenses for events held during Speedweeks at Daytona and other other services. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related revenue remained relatively consistent at approximately 21.6 percent for the three months ended May 31, 2013, and approximately 20.6 percent for the six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to 21.3 percent percent and 20.5 percent for the same respective periods in the prior year.

Food, beverage and merchandise expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 6.3 percent, and $1.1 million, or 6.1 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decreases for the three and six month periods are attributable to lower catering and merchandise sales as well as improved margin on concession sales for events held during the three month period as well as during Speedweeks at Daytona. Slightly offsetting the decrease was an increase in non-event catering. Food, beverage and merchandise expense as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise revenue decreased to approximately to 74.5 percent for the three months ended May 31, 2013, and to approximately 73.2 percent for the six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to 79.6 percent and 75.2 percent for the same respective periods in the prior year. The increase in margin for the three and six month periods are a result of streamlined menus aimed at reducing overall food costs by leveraging purchasing power.

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.5 million, or 5.4 percent, and increased $1.4 million, or

2.6 percent, and during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease for the three month period is primarily attributable to a settlement of litigation involving certain facility operations in fiscal 2012. Also contributing to the decrease were reductions in property taxes at certain facilities. Slightly offsetting the decrease were certain costs related to the Daytona Rising project and certain administrative costs, including the aforementioned merit pay increases. The increase for the six month period is primarily attributable to the loss accrual associated with the incident at Daytona (see "Legal Proceedings"), a judgment of litigation involving certain ancillary facility operations, legal expenses, certain costs related to the Daytona Rising project, and certain administrative costs including the aforementioned merit pay increases. Slightly offsetting the increases were reductions in property taxes at certain facilities and the settlement of litigation involving certain facility operations in fiscal 2012. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to approximately 14.8 percent, and increased to approximately 17.1 percent, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to 15.5 percent and 16.6 percent for the same respective periods in the prior year. The increased margin in the three month period ending May 31, 2013 is due to the aforementioned settlement of litigation involving certain facility operations in fiscal 2012. The decreased margin during the six month period is primarily due to the aforementioned loss accrual, judgment of litigation, legal expenses and certain costs related to the Daytona Rising project.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $0.5 million, or 2.6 percent, and $0.9 million, or 2.3 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases are attributable to capital expenditures for our ongoing facility enhancements and related initiatives.

Losses on retirements of long-lived assets of approximately $2.3 million in fiscal 2013 is primarily attributable to the removal of certain assets not fully depreciated in connection with the grandstand seating at Talladega Superspeedway (“Talladega”), as well as guest enhancements at our other facilities.

Interest income during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 were comparable to the same periods of the prior year.

Interest expense increased approximately $1.0 million, or 33.6 percent, and $1.5 million, or 23.7 percent, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increases for the three and six month periods are due to decreased capitalized interest as well as interest on the $100.0 million principal 3.95 percent Senior Notes issued in September 2012. Significantly offsetting the increase was the redemption of the remaining $87.0 million principal 5.40 percent Senior Notes in March 2012 as well as there being no borrowings outstanding on our $300.0 million revolving credit facility during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013.

Equity in net income from equity investments represents our 50.0 percent equity investment in Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway during the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see “Equity and Other Investments”).

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 38.4 percent and 38.7 percent for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to 39.3 percent and 37.6 percent for the same respective periods of the prior year (see “Income Taxes”).

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013, as compared to the same periods in prior year, reflected a increase of approximately $8.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and approximately $5.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures at existing facilities, and return of capital through payments of an annual cash dividend and repurchase of our shares under our Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, we have used the proceeds from offerings of our Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, borrowings under our credit facilities and state and local mechanisms to fund acquisitions and development projects. The following table sets forth, for each of the indicated periods, certain selected financial information (in thousands):



	November 30, 2012		May 31, 2013
	(Unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	78,379	$	162,577
Working capital	50,868		102,401
Total debt	276,932		276,632

At May 31, 2013, our working capital was primarily supported by our cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $162.6 million, an increase of approximately $84.2 million from November 30, 2012. Significant cash flow items during the six months ended May 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

Distributions from equity investee and affiliates, for the six months ended May 31, 2013, totaling $9.5 million, consists of $5.0 million received as a distribution from its profits, and is included in net cash provided by operating activities on our statement of cash flows, and the remaining $4.5 million received, which was recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on our statement of cash flows.

Our liquidity is primarily generated from our ongoing motorsports operations, and we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future. In addition, as of May 31, 2013, we have approximately $296.0 million available to draw upon under our 2012 Credit Facility, if needed. See “Future Liquidity” for additional disclosures relating to our credit facility and certain risks that may affect our near term operating results and liquidity.

Allocation of capital is driven by our long-term strategic planning and initiatives that encompass our mission, vision and values. Our primary uses of capital are to maintain modest debt levels that are consistent with our current investment grade debt rating from Standard and Poor’s. We will invest in our facilities to improve the guest experience and we will make investments in strategic projects that complement our core business and provide value for our shareholders, all of which is balanced with returning capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Capital Expenditures

For the six months ended May 31, 2013, we spent approximately $21.6 million on capital expenditures for projects at our existing facilities related to grandstand seating enhancements at Talladega and Daytona; concourse improvements at Richmond International Raceway ("Richmond"); and a variety of other improvements and renovations. We spent approximately $26.1 million for the six months ended May 31, 2012, related to grandstand seating enhancements at Talladega and Watkins Glen; designing and engineering of grandstand seating enhancements and RV improvements at Daytona; RV improvements and paving at Michigan; paving at Phoenix; and a variety of other improvements and renovations.

At May 31, 2013, we have approximately $25.8 million in capital projects currently approved for our existing facilities. These projects include grandstand seating enhancements at Talladega and Daytona; grandstand concourse improvements at Richmond; and a variety of other improvements and renovations to our facilities that enable us to effectively compete with other sports venues for consumer and corporate spending.

As a result of these currently approved projects and anticipated additional approvals in fiscal 2013, we expect our total fiscal 2013 capital expenditures at our existing facilities will be close to $90.0 million depending on the timing of certain projects.

Subsequent to the quarter ended May 31, 2013, ISC's board of directors endorsed a capital allocation plan for fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2017 to not exceed $600.0 million over that period. This is consistent with our previous guidance on ISC's average annual capital expenditures range of between $100.0 million to $120.0 million for the next several years. The five-year capital expenditure plan encompasses all the capital expenditures for ISC's 13 major motorsports facilities, including the Daytona Rising project, as well as any equity commitments to undertake a proposed mixed-use entertainment destination development across from Daytona, which is still in the planning stage and subject to a number of approvals including public incentives.

Capital expenditures for projects at existing facilities, including those related to the Daytona Rising project, will be approximately $90.0 million for our 2013 fiscal year. The majority of the capital expenditures for the Daytona Rising project will occur in fiscal 2014 and 2015. We are working through the construction schedule for the Daytona Rising project, but we estimate ISC's total capex, exclusive of capitalized interest, will be approximately $215.0 million for fiscal 2014 and approximately $175.0 million for fiscal 2015. With a target completion date for Daytona Rising in January 2016, spending will then decrease significantly with an expectation of capital expenditures for projects at all of ISC's existing facilities, exclusive of capitalized interest, to be approximately $60.0 million in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017.

We review the capital expenditure program periodically and modify it as required to meet current business needs.

Future Liquidity

General

As discussed in “Future Trends in Operating Results,” we compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits.

The unprecedented adverse economic trends, which significantly impacted consumer confidence and disproportionately affected different demographics of our target customers, have influenced the frequency with which guests attended our major motorsports entertainment events. Continued uncertainty regarding regional economic conditions and further deterioration in the economy may adversely impact attendance levels, guest spending levels, and our ability to secure corporate marketing partnerships in the future. Reductions in any of these categories can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability. This may negatively impact year-over-year comparability for our revenue categories for the full year, with the exception of domestic broadcast media rights fees.

Our cash flow from operations consists primarily of ticket, hospitality, merchandise, catering and concession sales and contracted revenues arising from television broadcast rights and marketing partnerships. Despite current economic conditions, we believe that cash flows from operations, along with existing cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund:


•	operations and approved capital projects at existing facilities for the foreseeable future;


•	payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Government’s debt service requirements related to the TIF bonds;


•	payments related to our existing debt service commitments;


•	equity contributions in connection with any future expansion of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway development; and


•	our annual dividend and share repurchases under our Stock Purchase Plan.

We remain interested in pursuing acquisition and/or development opportunities that would increase shareholder value, of which the timing, size, success and associated potential capital commitments, are unknown at this time. Accordingly, a material acceleration of our growth strategy could require us to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that adequate debt and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

While we expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future, our financial results depend significantly on a number of factors. In addition to local, national, and global economic and financial market conditions, consumer and corporate spending could be adversely affected by security and other lifestyle conditions resulting in lower than expected future operating cash flows. General economic conditions were significantly and negatively impacted by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and could be similarly affected by any future attacks or fear of such attacks, or by conditions resulting from other acts or prospects of war. Any future attacks or wars or related threats could also increase our expenses related to insurance, security or other related matters. Also, our financial results could be adversely impacted by a widespread outbreak of a severe epidemiological crisis. The items discussed above could have a singular or compounded material adverse affect on our financial success and future cash flow.

Long-Term Obligations and Commitments

Our $65.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“4.63 percent Senior Notes”) bear interest at 4.63 percent and are due January 2021, require semi-annual interest payments on January 18 and July 18 through their maturity. The

4.63 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at our option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in the indenture. Certain of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the 4.63 percent Senior Notes. The 4.63 percent Senior Notes also contain various restrictive covenants. At May 31, 2013, outstanding principal on the 4.63 percent Senior Notes was approximately $65.0 million.

Our $100.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“3.95 percent Senior Notes”) bear interest at 3.95 percent and are due September 2024. The 3.95 percent Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on March 13 and September 13 through their maturity. The 3.95 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at our option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in the indenture. Certain of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the 3.95 percent Senior Notes. The 3.95 percent Senior Notes also contain various restrictive covenants. At May 31, 2013, outstanding principal on the 3.95 percent Senior Notes was approximately $100.0 million.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Chicagoland Speedway Corporation, which owns and operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway, has debt outstanding in the form of revenue bonds payable (“4.82 percent Revenue Bonds”), consisting of

Table of Contents

economic development revenue bonds issued by the City of Joliet, Illinois to finance certain land improvements. The 4.82 percent Revenue Bonds have an interest rate of 4.82 percent and a monthly payment of $29,000 principal and interest. At May 31, 2013, outstanding principal on the 4.82 percent Revenue Bonds was approximately $0.8 million.

The term loan (“6.25 percent Term Loan”), related to our International Motorsports Center, has a 25 year term due October 2034, an interest rate of 6.25 percent, and a current monthly payment of approximately $292,000. At May 31, 2013, the outstanding principal on the 6.25 percent Term Loan was approximately $50.1 million.

In January 1999, the Unified Government, issued approximately $71.3 million in TIF bonds in connection with the financing of Kansas Speedway. At May 31, 2013, outstanding TIF bonds totaled approximately $60.7 million, net of the unamortized discount, which is comprised of a $11.6 million principal amount, 6.15 percent term bond due December 1, 2017 and a $49.7 million principal amount, 6.75 percent term bond due December 1, 2027. The TIF bonds are repaid by the Unified Government with payments made in lieu of property taxes (“Funding Commitment”) by our wholly owned subsidiary, Kansas Speedway Corporation (“KSC”). Principal (mandatory redemption) payments per the Funding Commitment are payable by KSC on October 1 of each year. The semi-annual interest component of the Funding Commitment is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. KSC granted a mortgage and security interest in the Kansas project for its Funding Commitment obligation.

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds (“2002 STAR Bonds”) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse us for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the Kansas Speedway’s boundaries and are not our obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal, any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At May 31, 2013, the Unified Government had approximately $1.7 million in 2002 STAR Bonds outstanding. Under a keepwell agreement, we have agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support its guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

The 2012 Credit Facility contains a feature that allows us to increase the credit facility from $300.0 million to a total of $500.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The 2012 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in November 2017, and accrues interest at LIBOR plus 100.0 — 162.5 basis points, depending on the better of our debt rating as determined by specified rating agencies or our leverage ratio. The 2012 Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants. At May 31, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility.

Daytona Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

We currently anticipate the Daytona Rising project to cost between $375.0 million to $400.0 million, excluding capitalized interest. Total expenditures incurred for the Daytona Rising project through May 31, 2013 were approximately $15.0 million. The Company expects to fund the Daytona Rising project from cash on hand, cash from its operations and may use borrowings on its credit facility for a limited period of time.

As part of the Daytona Rising project, we entered into a Design-Build Agreement with Barton Malow Company (“Barton Malow”), which obligates us to pay Barton Malow approximately $316.0 million for the completion of the work described in the Design-Build Agreement. The amount is a stipulated sum to be paid for the work, which may not change unless we request a change in the scope of work. The Design-Build Agreement contains certain provisions and representations usual and customary for agreements of this type, including, among others, provisions regarding liquidated damages to be assessed for work that is not completed according to the agreed upon schedule, provisions regarding payment schedules, and provisions regarding bonding and liability insurance policies applicable to the work. In addition, the Design-Build Agreement contains customary provisions regarding termination, review and inspection of the work, warranties and the use of subcontractors.

Upon review of the Design-Build agreement documents and drawings, we believe that there are assets with carrying values of approximately $50.0 million that may be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets may require accelerated depreciation, impairments, or losses on disposal, over the next 26 months.

The vision for the Daytona Rising project places an emphasis on enhancing the complete fan experience, beginning with five expanded and redesigned fan entrances, or injectors. Each injector will lead directly to a series of escalators and elevators that will transport fans to any of three different concourse levels, each featuring spacious and strategically-placed social "neighborhoods" along the nearly mile-long frontstretch.

Table of Contents

A total of 11 neighborhoods, each measuring the size of a football field, will enable fans to meet and socialize during events without ever missing any on-track action, thanks to an open-sight line design throughout each concourse and dozens of added video screens in every neighborhood. The central neighborhood, dubbed the "World Center of Racing," would celebrate the history of Daytona International Speedway and its many unforgettable moments throughout more than 50 years of racing.

Every seat in the Speedway frontstretch will be replaced with wider, more comfortable seating that will provide pristine sight lines. There will also be more restrooms and concession stands per customer throughout the facility. At the conclusion of the redevelopment, Daytona International Speedway will be comprised of approximately 101,000 permanent seats with the potential to increase permanent seating to 125,000. Despite having fewer permanent seats on completion, we estimate that admissions revenue for all events at Daytona will generate a low single digit compounded annual growth rate.

As a result of the Daytona Rising project, we currently expect within the first year, fiscal 2016, Daytona will generate incremental growth in revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for ISC, and we currently anticipate the project to be accretive to our earnings within three years of completion.

By providing our fans a better experience with increased points of sale for food, beverage & merchandise as well as an expansive platform for our marketing partners including an elevated hospitality experience, we estimate the Daytona Rising project, upon completion in 2016, will provide an immediate incremental lift in Daytona's revenues of approximately $20.0 million and EBITDA lift of approximately $15.0 million with a mid-single-digit growth rate. And we anticipate the project to be accretive to ISC's earnings within three years of completion.

We are moving forward on this project immediately so it can be completed before the start of the fiscal 2016 motorsports season.

Daytona Mixed-Use Development Project

We are exploring development of a mixed-use entertainment-oriented destination, adjacent to our 188,000 square foot office building, the International Motorsports Center, on property we own located directly across from our Daytona motorsports entertainment facility. As part of the project evaluation, we are in active discussions with potential anchor tenants.

In 2012, we received approval from the City of Daytona Beach amending the city's comprehensive plan and the previously approved planned master development agreement in order to enhance the value of our property and facilitate its future development. Approved land use entitlements for the property, which now encompasses 181 acres, allow for up to 1,420,000 square feet of retail/dining/entertainment, 2,500 seats in a movie theater, 660 hotel rooms, 1,350 units of residential, 567,000 square feet of additional office space and 500,000 square feet of commercial/industrial space.

We continue to believe that a mixed-use retail/dining/entertainment development located across from our Daytona facility will be a successful project. Development of the balance of the project is dependent on several factors, including lease arrangements, availability of project financing and overall market conditions.

Speedway Developments

In light of NASCAR's publicly announced position regarding additional potential realignment of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, we believe there are still potential development opportunities for public/private partnerships in new, underserved markets across the country that would create value for our shareholders. However, we are not currently pursuing any new speedway development opportunities.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our operating costs and earnings.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II	OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, on February 23, 2013, during the last lap of the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, an on-track incident resulted in debris from a race car entering the grandstands and injuring numerous spectators. Claims have been filed as a result of this incident, however we are confident that we have adequate insurance to cover any losses, in excess of our $1.5 million deductible, resulting from claims surrounding this incident.



ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

This report and the documents incorporated by reference may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You can identify a forward-looking statement by our use of the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “believe,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include our statements regarding the timing of future events, our anticipated future operations and our anticipated future financial position and cash requirements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether our expectations will prove correct. We previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2012 the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations.
