NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

References in this document to “the Company,” “DVD,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dover Motorsports, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2005. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005 due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s business.

 

NOTE 2 - Business Operations

 

Dover Motorsports, Inc. is a leading marketer and promoter of motorsports entertainment in the United States. Its motorsports subsidiaries operate five motorsports tracks (four permanent facilities and one temporary circuit) in four states and are scheduled to promote 16 major events during 2005 under the auspices of four of the premier sanctioning bodies in motorsports - the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”), the Indy Racing League (“IRL”), the National Hot Rod Association (“NHRA”) and the Champ Car World Series (“CCWS”). The Company owns and operates Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware; Nashville Superspeedway near Nashville, Tennessee; Gateway International Raceway near St. Louis, Missouri; and Memphis Motorsports Park in Memphis, Tennessee. The Company also organizes and promotes the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in California.

 

NOTE 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of consolidation and presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DVD and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Property and equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method. Accumulated depreciation was $58,418,000 and $56,606,000 as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition—The Company classifies its revenues as admissions, event-related revenue, broadcasting revenue and other revenue. “Admissions” includes ticket sales for all Company events. “Event-related” revenue includes amounts received from sponsorship fees; luxury suite rentals; hospitality tent rentals and catering; concessions and souvenir sales and vendor commissions for the right to sell concessions and souvenirs at our facilities; sales of programs; track rentals and other event-related revenues. “Broadcasting” revenue includes rights fees obtained for television and radio broadcasts of events held at the Company’s speedways and ancillary rights fees. “Other” revenue includes revenues from the Company’s grandstand rental business and other miscellaneous revenues.

 

Revenues pertaining to specific events are deferred until the event is held. Concession revenue from concession stand sales and sales of souvenirs are recorded at the time of sale. Revenues and related expenses from barter transactions in which the Company receives advertising or other goods or services in exchange for

 

5


sponsorships of motorsports events are recorded at fair value in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-17, Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions. Barter transactions accounted for $99,000 of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. There were no barter transactions recorded as revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

We derive a substantial portion of our motorsports revenues from admissions and event-related revenue attributable to six NASCAR-sanctioned events at Dover, Delaware which are currently held in June and September.

 

Under the terms of the Company’s sanction agreements, NASCAR retains 10% of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series or NASCAR Busch Series event as a component of its sanction fees and remits the remaining 90% to the event promoter, which the Company records as revenue. The event promoter is required to pay 25% of the gross broadcast rights fees to the event as part of the awards to the competitors, which the Company records as operating expenses.

 

Expense recognition—Certain direct expenses pertaining to specific events, including prize and point fund monies and sanction fees paid to various sanctioning bodies, including NASCAR, advertising and other expenses associated with the promotion of our racing events are deferred until the event is held, at which point they are expensed.

 

The cost of non-event related advertising, promotion and marketing programs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising expenses were $258,000 and $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Earnings per share—Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,

     2005

   2004

Basic EPS

   40,078,000    39,994,000

Effect of dilutive securities

   —      —  
    
  

Diluted EPS

   40,078,000    39,994,000
    
  

 

Dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock awards.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 1,179,801 and 1,429,560 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company had a net loss and all outstanding options would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, as a result of the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005, 224,000 shares of unvested restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as they would also have been anti-dilutive. There were no outstanding unvested restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

Accounting for stock-based compensationThe Company has a stock incentive plan which provides for the grant of stock options and/or restricted stock to officers and key employees. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. Statement No. 123 defines a fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans; however, it allows the continued use of the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method and based on this method, did not record any stock-based compensation expense related to its stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company’s restricted stock vests based on continued employment with the Company. Restricted stock awards result in compensation expense as discussed in NOTE 6 – Stockholders’ Equity.
