             Crystal Park Hotel and Casino Development Company, LLC
                         Notes to Financial Statements


NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial information included herein has been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The information provided in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited, and in the opinion of management
reflects all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary to present a
fair statement of the financial results for the interim period.

GENERAL  Crystal Park Hotel and Casino Development Company, LLC ("Crystal Park
LLC") was formed on July 18, 1996, by Hollywood Park, Inc. ("Hollywood Park"),
through its wholly owned subsidiary HP/Compton, Inc. ("HP/Compton"), Redwood
Gaming, LLC ("Redwood") and First Park Investments, LLC ("First Park") for the
purpose of constructing, owning and leasing the Crystal Park Hotel and Casino
(the "Crystal Park Casino").  HP/Compton, Redwood and First Park have an 89.8%,
6.8% and 3.4% membership interest, respectively, in Crystal Park LLC.

Under California law, a publicly traded company, such as Hollywood Park, cannot
operate a card club casino (other than on the same premises as a race track);
therefore, Crystal Park LLC executed a 60 month lease, which was amended twice
(the "Lease"), with Compton Entertainment, Inc. ("CEI") (an unaffiliated third
party operator) for the Crystal Park Casino.  (See Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.)

ESTIMATES  Financial statements prepared according to generally accepted
accounting principles require the use of management estimates, including
estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of real estate and leasehold
interests held for investment.  These estimates are subject to a variety of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated by management.

ORGANIZATION COSTS  Organization costs were capitalized and are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the initial five year term of the Lease.

NOTE 2 -- REAL ESTATE AND LEASEHOLD INTERESTS HELD FOR INVESTMENT

On August 2, 1995, Hollywood Park paid approximately $2,006,000 to the City of
Compton to purchase the convention center and surrounding parking at the Crystal
Park site, and entered into a 50 year lease with the City of Compton for the
hotel, additional parking and expansion parcels at the Crystal Park site.  The
cost of the initial improvements to the Crystal Park Casino are credited against
the annual base rent due from Crystal Park LLC to the City of Compton.  The
annual lease rent payments start at $600,000 and increase every fifth year until
year 46, when they stabilize at $2,850,000. No cash rent payments are expected
to be made until after the nineteenth year of the lease, or 2014. Crystal Park
LLC has the option to either (i) purchase all of the leasehold parcels at an
amount based on a formula defined in the lease agreement, or (ii) purchase only
the hotel and parking leasehold parcels at a fixed price.  Management expects
that in the normal course of business, and after the rent credits are fully
utilized, it is probable that it will exercise the option to purchase the hotel
and parking leasehold parcels only.  If the option is exercised after the rent
credits are fully utilized, the future minimum lease payments for the remaining
lease term total approximately $3,350,000.  The present value of the future
minimum lease payments, after a reduction of $2,700,000 for imputed interest
based on Crystal Park LLC's incremental borrowing rate, approximates $650,000.
The rent payment credits were considered in determining the future minimum lease
payments.

                                       4

NOTE 3 -- OTHER ASSETS

Other assets consist of payments made by Hollywood Park (and subsequently
contributed by Hollywood Park to Crystal Park LLC) to CEI as required under the
Amended and Restated Agreement Respecting Pyramid Casino (subsequently changed
to Crystal Park Hotel and Casino).  Payments totaling approximately $5,000,000
were made to CEI to acquire its real property rights to the Crystal Park site,
the initial construction plans, and rights to the gaming license that CEI held
with the City of Compton.

These payments made to CEI have been capitalized and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 40 years.

NOTE 4 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On August 6, 1997, Hollywood Park and Hollywood Park Operating Company (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hollywood Park), as co-obligors, issued $125,000,000 of
Series A 9.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Notes").  The Notes are
fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by all of Hollywood Park's material subsidiaries, including
Crystal Park Hotel and Casino Development Company, LLC.  This Quarterly Report
is being filed pursuant to the Indenture governing the Notes as a guarantor
which is not wholly owned by the issuers of the Notes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS
- -------------

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters addressed in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such
forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by
the Crystal Park LLC's management, including and without limitation the failure
of Crystal Park LLC to find a suitable operator/lessee and execute a lease with
such operator/lessee, the failure of the new operator/lessee to obtain and
retain all required gaming approvals, and the failure of the operator/lessee to
generate sufficient cash flow to meet the rent requirements of the lease.  The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides certain
"safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking
statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the
Act.  For more information on the potential factors which could affect Crystal
Park LLC's financial results, please review Hollywood Park's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including Hollywood Park's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and other filings including Hollywood Park's Statement on
Form S-4 filed October 30, 1997.

GENERAL  On October 11, 1997, the California Attorney General revoked CEI's
conditional gaming registration, and the City of Compton revoked CEI's city
gaming license.  Crystal Park LLC believes that CEI is attempting to have its
California conditional gaming registration and city gaming license reinstated.

On November 4, 1997, Crystal Park LLC obtained a judgment in an action for
unlawful detainer against CEI, due to CEI's failure to pay a portion of the June
1997 rent and to make required additional rent payments.  In addition to the
judgment for possession and for damages of approximately $150,000, Crystal Park
LLC has a claim against CEI for additional damages relating to subsequent unpaid
rent and additional unpaid amounts.

Crystal Park LLC is presently negotiating a new lease with California Casino
Management, Inc. ("CCM"), a California corporation, owned by Mr. Leo Chu, which
would take effect in the event that CEI is unable to continue as operator/lessee
of the Crystal Park Casino. Mr. Chu presently has a gaming registration
application pending with the California Attorney General to operate the Crystal
Park Casino, and will also require a gaming license from the City of Compton.
Mr. Chu currently holds a California gaming registration to operate a small card
club in Northern California. It is anticipated that CCM would assume operations
of the Crystal Park Casino no later than January 1, 1998; however, there can be
no assurance that CCM will 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
receive the necessary gaming approvals to operate the Crystal Park Casino or
that Crystal Park LLC will be able to locate an alternate operator/lessee who
will be granted the required gaming approvals.

In the event that CCM assumes operations of the Crystal Park Casino, HP/Compton
may purchase First Park's 3.4% membership interest in Crystal Park LLC in order
to provide Mr. Chu with additional working capital with which to operate the
Crystal Park Casino.  The purchase price is expected to be the initial amount
invested by First Park in Crystal Park LLC, $1,000,000; however, there can be no
assurance that the parties would be able to agree upon the price and other terms
of such a purchase.

                             Results of Operations
                                        
                 Three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
                 ----------------------------------------------
                                        
Crystal Park opened for business on October 25, 1996; therefore, there are no
results of operations of Crystal Park LLC for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  Rent due, from CEI, under the Lease was fixed at $200,000
per month for the period January 1997 through April 1997, and increased to
$350,000 as of May 1997.  Crystal Park LLC recorded lease rental/occupancy
revenues through August 31, 1997, only, no revenues were recorded for the month
of September 1997, though Crystal Park LLC does have a $200,000 prepaid rent
deposit from CEI, which was received on October 25, 1996.  As of September 30,
1997, CEI owed Crystal Park LLC, $600,000, of which $200,000 was covered by the
CEI rent deposit, and of which $350,000 was fully reserved with a valuation
allowance and, therefore, was not reflected as revenue in the operating results
for the periods ended September 30, 1997.  Administrative expenses were
primarily related to legal and audit fees.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                                        
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,355,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, due to cash rent payments received from CEI.  Payments were
made for additional gaming assets and to the members of Crystal Park LLC as
required under the Operating Agreement for Crystal Park Hotel and Casino
Development Company, LLC.  The management of Crystal Park LLC believes that cash
and cash equivalents as of September 30, 1997, will be sufficient to meet
Crystal Park LLC's anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and
in any event, for at least the next twelve months.
