PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
A. Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998.
B. Business Operations
For the video lottery operations, the difference between the
amount wagered by bettors and the amount paid out to bettors is
referred to as the win. The win is included in the amount recorded in
the Company's financial statements as gaming revenue. The Delaware
State Lottery Office sweeps the winnings from the video lottery
operations, collects the State's share of the winnings and the amount
due to the vendors under contract with the State who provide the video
lottery machines and associated computer systems, collects the amount
allocable to purses for harness horse racing and remits the remainder
to the Company as its commission for acting as a Licensed Agent.
Operating expenses include the amounts collected by the State (i) for
the State's share of the winnings, (ii) for remittance to the providers
of the video lottery machines and associated computer systems, and
(iii) for harness horse racing purses.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations: Quarter Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Quarter
Ended September 30, 1996
Revenues increased by $11,595,000 to $38,821,000 primarily as a
result of expanding the casino facility and increasing the number of
video lottery (slot) machines from an average of 560 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 to 1,000 machines during the entire first
quarter of fiscal 1998. Motorsports revenues increased by $1,781,000
or 18.9%. Approximately $812,000 of the total motorsports revenue
increase resulted from increased attendance and $150,000 from increased
ticket prices. The remainder of the motorsports revenue increase of
$819,000 related to sponsorship, concession and broadcast revenues.
Operating expenses increased by $7,747,000 reflecting the higher
revenues. Amounts retained by the State of Delaware, fees to the
manager who operates the video lottery (slot) machine operation, and
the amount collected by the State of Delaware for payment to the
vendors under contract with the State who provide the video lottery
machines and associated computer systems increased by $4,533,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. Amounts allocated from the video lottery
operation for harness horse racing purses were $3,133,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 compared with $2,070,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Advertising, promotional and customer complimentary cost
increases of $581,000 were the other significant operating cost
increases.
Motorsports operating expenses increased primarily due to a
$101,000 increase in purse obligation expenses and related sanction
fees.
Depreciation increased by $171,000 or 38.3% due to capital
expenditures related to the Company's video lottery casino and
motorsports facilities expansion.
General and administrative expenses increased by $284,000 to
$1,067,000 from $783,000 in the first quarter of 1997 primarily as a
result of increased wages and benefits related to the video lottery
operations and the general expansion of the Company's business.
The Company's effective income tax rates for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 were 41.5% and 41.9%, respectively.
Net earnings increased by $2,174,000 due to the expansion of video
lottery (slot) machine operations in the second quarter of fiscal 1997
and higher attendance and related revenues at the Company's NASCAR-
sanctioned events in September 1997 as compared with September 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows from operations for the quarters ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 were $7,094,000 and $5,680,000, respectively. The
significant increase in fiscal 1998 is primarily the result of higher
net earnings.
Capital expenditures for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were
$703,000 and related primarily to expansion of and improvements to the
auto racing facility. The prior year's capital expenditures of
$4,123,000 related primarily to the expansion of the video lottery
(slot) facility. The Company expects to make capital expenditures of
approximately $12,500,000 in fiscal 1998 primarily for additional
permanent grandstand seating and other land improvements.
The Company has a $20,000,000 committed revolving line of credit
to provide seasonal funding needs and to finance capital improvements.
There were no amounts outstanding under the credit facility at
September 30, 1997.
Management believes that cash flows from operations and funds
available under its bank credit facility will satisfy the Company's
cash requirements for fiscal 1998.
