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 and six months ended January 31, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July
31, 1997.
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: Six Months Ended January 31, 1997 vs. Six
Months Ended January 31, 1996
Revenues increased by $31,178,000 to $44,414,000 primarily as a
result of the introduction of video lottery (slot) machines which were
in operation for the entire first six months of fiscal 1997 compared
with 34 days of operations in the first six months of fiscal 1996.
Motorsports revenues increased $942,000 or 11.1%. Approximately
$441,000 of the total motorsports revenue increase resulted from
increased attendance and $291,000 from increased ticket prices. The
remainder of the motorsports revenue increase of $210,000 related to
sponsorship, concession, broadcast and other ancillary revenues.
Harness horse racing revenues increased by $908,000 as a result of 183
days of simulcast operations in the first six months of fiscal 1997
compared with 59 days in the first six months of 1996 and from revenues
associated with exporting live harness horse races on 43 days in fiscal
1997 compared with none in fiscal 1996.
Operating expenses increased by $23,228,000 of which $20,803,000
was due to the introduction of video lottery (slot) machine operations.
Amounts retained by the State of Delaware, fees to the manager who
operates the video lottery (slot) machine operations, 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

fiscal 1997 and $1,495,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1996.

racing purses were $4,003,000 in the first six months of 1997 and
$485,000 in the first six months of 1996. Wages and benefits of
recently hired employees for the video lottery (slot) machine operation
were $2,402,000. Advertising, promotional and customer complimentary
costs of $1,675,000 and costs associated with casino food and beverage

benefits of recently hired people increased by $411,000, simulcast
costs increased by $521,000 and advertising expenses increased by
$130,000. All of the increases were related to the additional
simulcast days in the first six months of fiscal 1997.

a $245,000 increase in purse obligation expenses and related sanction
fees and a $72,000 increase in advertising expenses.
Depreciation increased by $347,000 or 54.0% primarily as a result
of capital expenditures related to the Company's video lottery casino
and motorsports facilities expansion.

The Company's effective income tax rates for the first six months
of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996 were 41.4% and 42.1%, respectively.

(slot) machine operations that were in operation for the entire first
six months of fiscal 1997 compared with 34 days of operations in the
first six months of fiscal 1996, and also due to higher attendance and
event-related revenues at the Company's NASCAR sanctioned events in
September 1996 compared with September 1995.
Results of Operations: Quarter Ended January 31, 1997 vs. Quarter
Ended January 31, 1996
Revenues increased by $13,519,000 to $18,210,000 primarily as a

races on 43 days in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with

due to the introduction of video lottery (slot) machine operations.
Amounts retained by the State of Delaware, fees to the manager who

benefits increased by $182,000, simulcast costs increased by $255,000,
and advertising expenses increased by $105,000.

of capital expenditures related to the Company's video lottery casino
and motorsports facilities expansion.
FORM 10-Q Page 8 of 9
General and administrative costs increased by $130,000 to $656,000
from $526,000 primarily as a result of increased wages and benefits
related to the video lottery operations.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 was 40.8%.
Net earnings increased by $1,807,000 due to the video lottery
(slot) machine operations that were in operation for the entire second
quarter of fiscal 1997 compared with 34 days of operations in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows from operations for the six months ended January 31,
1997 and 1996 were $3,055,000 and $1,016,000, respectively. The reason
for the increase in cash flows was primarily the increased net
earnings, offset by the timing of certain income tax and other
payments.
Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 1997 were
$8,032,000 and related primarily to the expansion of the video lottery
(slot) facility and the addition of motorsports grandstand seating.
On January 29, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared
a quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $.08 per share. The
dividend will be payable on March 10, 1997 to shareholders of record at
the close of business on February 10, 1997.
The Company has a $20,000,000 committed revolving line of credit
from PNC Bank to provide seasonal funding needs and to finance capital
improvements. There were no amounts outstanding under the credit
facility at January 31, 1997.
On October 3, 1996, the Company issued 1,075,000 shares of common
stock at $17.00 per share. The Company used $3,500,000 of the proceeds
to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility and has financed
capital expenditures through January 31, 1997 with the proceeds.
Management expects to use the remaining proceeds from the initial
public offering for additional capital expenditures and general
corporate purposes.
Management believes that the net proceeds of the public offering
together with cash flows from operations and funds available under its
bank credit facility will satisfy the Company's cash requirements for
fiscal 1997.
