             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               February 28, 1997

1.   The interim condensed data is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.  The condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by
the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company's
financial statements filed as part of the Company's November 30, 1996 Form 10-
KSB, as amended. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such
annual report.

2.   The earnings per share calculations are based on the treasury stock method.
Common stock equivalents have not been included for the three months ended
February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996 as they would be anti-dilutive. Pursuant
to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, common
stock issued for consideration below the offering price of $10.00 per share and
stock options and warrants issued with exercise prices below the offering price
during the twelve month period preceding the filing of the Company's initial
public offering, have been included in the calculation of common shares, using
the treasury stock method, as if they were outstanding for all periods
presented. The effect of the Series A Convertible Preferred stock issued at
consideration below the initial public offering price was to increase the
weighted average shares outstanding for the three month period ended February
29, 1996 by 68,750 shares. The Series A Convertible Preferred stock was 
converted to common stock on June 28, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

DEFINITIONS   There are numerous acronyms used in the motorsports industry and
otherwise, several of which are used herein.  For the facility of the reader,
acronyms used herein are defined below:

ARCA -  Automobile Racing Club of America

CART - Championship Auto Racing Teams, Inc.

NASCAR - The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc.

NHRA - The National Hot Rod Association

SWIDA -  Southwestern Illinois Development Authority

USAC - United States Auto Club


OVERVIEW

The Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Inc. ("Company") is the developer,
owner and operator of the Grand Prix of Long Beach ("Grand Prix"), a three
day, temporary circuit motorsports event that has been run each spring on the
streets of the City of Long Beach, California since 1975.  The Grand Prix
features an Indy car race and a variety of other road races and supporting
attractions.  Additionally, the Company owns two permanent racing facilities,
Gateway International Raceway ("Gateway"), in Madison, Illinois, and Memphis
Motorsports Park ("Memphis"), in Millington, Tennessee.  Major events scheduled
to be held at Gateway include the Motorola 300, a CART sanctioned Indy car event
on May 22-24, 1997, the NHRA Sears Craftsman Nationals drag event on June 26-29,
1997, and the NASCAR Busch Series, Grand National Division stock car event on
July 24-26, 1997.  Memphis will host an ARCA Super Car and USAC Silver Crown
event on September 12-14, 1997 and the NHRA Pennzoil Nationals Presented by
AutoZone on October 2-5, 1997.

Revenues are generated from admission ticket sales, corporate sponsorships and
hospitality services (including rental of corporate suites, tents and chalets),
broadcast production services, merchandise sales, concessions and other related
event revenues. Since 1993, more than 80% of the Company's annual revenues have
been generated from operation of the Grand Prix.  It is anticipated that
commencing with the 1997 racing season, the Company's reliance on the Grand Prix
for the majority of its revenue will decrease.

                                      -8-

Since April 1996, the Company has been redeveloping Gateway to make it a major
regional multipurpose facility.  Projected expenditures for this redevelopment
have been accelerated because the Company was able to acquire more major event
sanctions for 1997 than anticipated.  The Company anticipates that total
expenditures related to the redevelopment of this facility will be approximately
$26,100,000 (not including approximately $1,500,000 to establish and equip the
Gateway Law Enforcement Driving School and approximately $500,000 in
miscellaneous improvements, both of which are anticipated to use proceeds from
the initial public stock offering).

In order to finance the redevelopment of Gateway, the Company entered into a
loan agreement with SWIDA, which agreed to fund a loan ("the SWIDA Loan") by
issuing  bonds (the "Bonds") in a Municipal Bond Offering in the aggregate
principal amount of $21,500,000. The Company issued a 20-year $21,500,000
promissory note to SWIDA which bears interest at an effective rate of
approximately 9.1% per annum.  Interest is paid semi-annually, beginning
February 1997, with interest-only payments through August 1999.  Principal
payments will begin in February 2000.  All proceeds from the SWIDA Loan are
required to be dedicated to the redevelopment of Gateway and debt service
obligations with respect to the SWIDA Loan.  As required by the financing
arrangement, the Company established a $2,550,000 interest reserve fund (from
the proceeds of the SWIDA Loan) to fund interest payments through August 1999.
In addition, the Company established a $2,400,000 debt service reserve fund from
the net proceeds of a $2,500,000 private placement of Series A Convertible
Preferred stock. Additionally, the Company is required to impose a 5% ticket
surcharge on all nationally sanctioned motorsports events at Gateway to
establish an additional debt service reserve fund for the Bonds.  Once
$2,000,000 has been accumulated in this fund, excess funds then accumulating
will be used to redeem Bonds annually commencing February 1, 2002.

On June 28, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Memphis Motorsports Park for $5,000,000.  In connection with the acquisition,
the Company paid certain indebtedness of the seller totaling $2,500,000 with
proceeds from its initial public stock offering, and issued 250,000 shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred stock ("Series B") valued at $2,500,000, with an
annual dividend rate of 4.185%.  Series B is convertible into shares of common
stock on a share for share basis.  Series B cannot be converted into common
stock prior to June 1997, and if Series B is not converted by December 31, 1998,
the Company, during the month of January 1999, will be obligated to redeem all
of the then outstanding shares of Series B for nominal consideration and assume
certain specified liabilities of the seller of Memphis Motorsports Park existing
at the time of the closing of the acquisition not to exceed $1,500,000.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Revenues.  The Company's revenues are classified as Major event and Other
operating revenues.  Major event revenues are derived from nationally sanctioned
events at the Grand Prix, Memphis and Gateway, including Admissions from ticket
sales, Sponsorships and Ancillary, containing hospitality services, broadcast
services, merchandising, lifestyle/auto expo and concessions.  The Company
generates Other operating revenues from promotion, marketing and public
relations consulting services and rentals of grandstands, structures and related
equipment services.  There were no major events scheduled during the three
months ended February 28, 1997 or February 29, 1996.  Since the Company
recognizes revenues associated with Major events in the fiscal quarter in which
the event takes place, there were no major event revenues in the three months
ended February 28, 1997 or February 29, 1996.

Expenses.   The Company classifies its expenses as Major event expenses, Other
operating expenses, General and administrative expenses, and Depreciation.
Major event expenses principally include sanction fees, circuit construction
costs, operational direct expenses, marketing, advertising and public relations,
costs of merchandise sales, ticket sales expenses and city service fees.
Sanction agreements require race promoters to pay fees and provide services to
the relevant sanctioning body during the event. Other operating expenses include
expenses directly related to public relations consulting services, structures
and equipment rental services, broadcast services and the direct expenses of
operating Gateway and Memphis.

THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29,
1996

Major Event Revenues and Expenses.  Because none of the Company's major events
are held in the Company's first fiscal quarter and no revenues are realized
until the events take place, there are no major event revenues or expenses
realized in the three month periods ended February 28, 1997 or February 29,
1996.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Other Operating Revenues.   Other operating revenues of $403,000 for the three
months ended February 28, 1997 consist of grandstand and equipment rentals,
event electrical services, consulting services and weekly race activities at
Memphis. Other operating revenues increased $91,000 primarily from increased
grandstand and equipment rentals and the commencement of weekly racing
activities at Memphis.

Other Operating Expenses.   Other operating expenses of $223,000 for the three
months ended February 28, 1997 decreased $8,000 compared to the three months
ended February 29, 1996 due to a decrease in race consulting services partially
offset by the increased operations described above.

General and Administrative Expenses.   General and administrative expenses of
$1,212,000 for the three months ended February 28, 1997, an increase of $434,000
compared to the three months ended February 29, 1996, consist of payroll,
facilities and similar costs.  Approximately $201,000 of the increase is
attributable to operations at Memphis which was acquired in June 1996.  The
remainder of the increase is attributable to increased costs, including payroll,
in preparation for additional races at Gateway scheduled for 1997.

Depreciation.   Depreciation expense of $309,000 for the three months ended
February 28, 1997 increased $221,000 from the three months ended February 29,
1996 due to additions of property and equipment primarily at Memphis and
Gateway.

Other Income and Expense.   Interest income and expense, net increased $23,000
for the three months ended February 28, 1997 compared to the three months ended
February 29, 1996 primarily as a result of interest income earned from the
proceeds of the Company's initial public stock offering and the unused portion
of the SWIDA Loan offset by interest expense associated with the SWIDA Loan.
Interest income from the investment of proceeds from the Company's initial
public stock offering and the proceeds from the SWIDA Loan contributed $239,000
in the three months ended February 28, 1997.  Interest expense related to the
SWIDA Loan for the three months ended February 28, 1997 was $160,000, net of
interest capitalized to the redevelopment project at Gateway of $330,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For working capital during the three months ended February 28, 1997, the Company
relied on cash from the proceeds of the initial public stock offering, cash
generated from other operating revenues and on admissions revenue collected in
advance of major events.  The proceeds of the SWIDA Loan were used to fund the
redevelopment at Gateway.

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
The Company's bank borrowings consist of short and long term obligations
incurred in connection with specific capital improvements and expenditures. Long
term debt includes first and second trust deed notes, which together had an
outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,437,000 on February 28, 1997,
and the balance of the SWIDA Loan of approximately $21,460,000. Other long and
short term debt, totaling in the aggregate $93,000 on February 28, 1997,
consists of various secured and unsecured borrowings.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents as of February 28, 1997 are $11,659,000,
a net increase of $1,445,000 from November 30, 1996. Increased cash is primarily
the result of advance ticket sales for upcoming major events offset by cash used
to fund the first quarter operating deficit.

Restricted cash pursuant to the terms of the SWIDA Loan as of February 28, 1997
was $5,048,000.  Cash used by the Company from restricted and non-restricted
cash in capital improvements totaled $6,709,000 for the three months ended
February 28, 1997 for the redevelopment at Gateway.
 

OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1997

With the 1997 racing season starting with the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on
the weekend of April 11-13, 1997, the Company expects the second and third
quarters of fiscal 1997 to reflect increased operating revenues and
corresponding direct expenses.  Construction at Gateway and Memphis will
continue, with the principal redevelopment project at Gateway scheduled for
completion during the second quarter prior to the CART Indy car major event
scheduled for May 22-24, 1997.

The Company's capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including
the rate at which the Company completes the redevelopment and improvements at
Gateway and Memphis, establishes such facilities as profitable operations and
acquires other motorsports facilities. In addition, the Company will have
various ongoing needs for capital, including: (i) working capital for
operations; (ii) routine capital expenditures to maintain and expand its Long
Beach temporary circuit; and (iii) funds required to service corporate
obligations, including the $21,500,000 obligation under the SWIDA Loan.
