Intellectual Property: The Company's intellectual property ranges from ownership of racing content and the pari-mutuel racing event that is determined by the race outcome, to the techniques and technology used to process wagers placed on the pari-mutuel racing event. In recent years, the Company has focused on the creation of alternative pari-mutuel wagering solutions, new wager types that use existing pari-mutuel wagering solutions and exploration in the development of wagers for non-traditional pari-mutuel wagering events. Acquisition of intellectual property has and will continue to include in-house research and development and the purchasing of intellectual property. [SEC Filing 10-K 03-15-07]
