A claims manager advises HIA as to the tequired level of provision for claims reported on monthly statements. The reserve for tosses and loss-adjustment expenses has been detennined by management based upon the results of an actuarial stud> performed by GPW Actuarial Services* Inc, dated April 19, 2011 The total reserve for looses and loss-adjustment expenses are S3,243,287 and $2,280,828. at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively
While management considers the reserve for losses and loss-adjustment expenses adequate to t-over the estimated ultimate liability of HIA at the balance sheet dates, these provisions are estimates Consistent with most companies with similar insurance operations, HlA's reserve for losses and loss-adjustment expenses is ultimately based on management's reasonable expectations of future events It is reasonably pos<iib!e Uiat the expectations associated with these amounts could change in Ihc near term and ihal the effort of such changes could be matcnal to the fmancial statements

12. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accoimttng Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provider the framework for measunng fan- value That framework provides a fair value hierarchy dial prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value The hierarchy gives the highest priorit>' to unadjusted quoted priced in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 Measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 Measurements) The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are descnbed as follows
Level 1 Inputs to the valuation inethodolog>' are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or habihtics m active markets that the Plan has tlie ability to access
Level 2 Inpuls to the valuation methodology include:
• Quoted pi ices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
• Quoted prices for identical or similar a.ssets or liabilities m inactive markets,
• Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the as«;et or liability';

DECEMBER 3L 2010 AND 2009 12v Fair Value Measurements (continued)
• Inputs that are deiived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability
Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and sigmficant to the fair value measurement.
The asset's oi liability's fair value measurement level withm the fair value hierarchy is based on tlte lowest level of any input that is significant lo the fan \aiue measurement Valuallon techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs
Following IS a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value
Mutual Funds (Level I) Valued at the closing price repQittd on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.
Certiflcaies of deposit (Level 2) Valued at historical cn U which approximates fair value
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of fiiture fair values. Furthennore, while LAHBPA 1993 Inc. believes its valuation methods aie appropriate and consistent wltli other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain fmancial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the rejx>rt!ng date

In 2007, the LAHPBA 1993, lnc filed suit against the pre- ent owner of the Louisiana Downs Race Track in order to resolve a dispute concerning the use of purse monies at that race track. In 2003, tlie present owner of the race track and tJie LAHBPA 1993, Inc entered into an agreement whereby, "subject to certain contingencies being met, the owner of the race track guaranteed to fund racing purses at a certam minimum level and to assume a liability of the prior owner resulting fiom a decision of the Louisiana Supreme Court concerning the use oi video poker revenues to fund racing purses The liinding of racmg purses at the guaranteed mmimum level vvas expected to exceed the amounts otiierwise required to be used for purses at least mitjl slots at ihe race track generated additional purse revenues that when combined with other purse revenues would exceed the guaranteed mmimum funding level Subject to certain contingencies being met. the LAHBPA 1993, Inc agreed that the owner of the race track could recover amounts ftmdcd by the owner in excess of the statutonly-required purse amounts, as well as amounts funded by the prior owner in excess of the statutonly-requiied purse amounts during the two previous race meets, all from the simulcast revenue stream There is a dispute as lo whether tiie contingencies were met and, if the contingencies were not met, whether the owner is entitled to recover the alleged overpayments under some other legal theory
The amount claimed by the present owner under the alleged agreement is approxmiately Sll 000.000. The LAHBPA 1993, lnc contends ihat the agreement is null because the contingencies were never met The LAHBPA 1993^ Inc further contends that, if it is determined that the present owner is entitled to recover amounts previously over paid, such recover)' must be limited to future simulcast revenue streams as provided for in the agreement The outcome of this litigation is uncertain as of the report date. No provision has been made in the financial statements relating to this litigation
In December 2009, certam members filed a derivative action agamst II tndiMduals, consisting of the President, the Executive Director and nine Directors, to recover for alleged wrongdoing Of the n mdividuah, only one is still associated with LAHBPA 1993, Inc as an officer or director.
