Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 29, 2008, Boyd Gaming Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and other financial information. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
As previously reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the "10-K"), the Company disclosed that it decided to postpone redevelopment of Dania Jai-Alai ("Dania") due to various factors discussed in the Form 10-K, including the introduction of expanded gaming at a nearby Native American casino, legislation allowing additional casino gaming venues in Florida, and the existing Broward County pari-mutuel casinos performing below the Company's expectations for the market. In connection with its decision to postpone redevelopment, the Company tested Dania's long-lived and intangible assets for impairment and, on April 25, 2008, determined that it would record an $84.0 million pre-tax impairment charge for the first quarter 2008, principally related to the write off of Dania's entire intangible license right.
