             CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation
---------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, revenues and operating
results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the revenues and operating
results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the
corresponding period of the previous year. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect a disproportionate share of annual net
earnings as the Company normally earns a substantial portion of its net earnings
in the first and second quarters of each year.

Stock-based compensation
------------------------

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("Statement 123") which provides companies an alternative to
accounting for stock-based compensation as prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25
(APB 25). Statement 123 encourages, but does not require companies to recognize
expense for stock-based awards based on their fair value at date of grant.
Statement 123 allows companies to continue to follow existing accounting rules
(intrinsic value method under APB 25) provided that pro-forma disclosures are
made of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the new fair
value method been used. The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure
requirements of Statement 123 but will continue to account for stock-based
compensation under APB 25.

                                                                               7

2. Business Acquisition

On February 29, 2000 the Company acquired the assets and assumed approximately
$9.3 million of liabilities of Great Lakes Downs, Inc. racetrack in Muskegon,
Michigan for a purchase price of $1.8 million. The purchase price was paid by
issuance of 267,416 shares of Class A Subordinate Voting Stock.

The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities as follows
(in thousands):

Non-cash working capital                                      $ (3,370)
Real estate properties and fixed assets                         10,088
Other assets                                                     1,340
Debt                                                            (6,280)
                                                              --------
Net assets acquired and total
  purchase price, net of cash acquired                        $  1,770
                                                              ========

3. Debt

In March 2000 the Company completed the renegotiation of two credit facilities -
a new $63 million three year term loan facility and the renewal of the $10
million revolving line of credit. Both credit facilities bear interest at rates
ranging between Prime and LIBOR plus 2.2% per annum. At June 30, 2000, the
Company had no borrowings outstanding on these two facilities.

4. Capital Stock

Changes in Class A Subordinate Voting Stock, Class B Stock and Exchangeable
Shares for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are shown in the following table

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan the
Company has granted non-qualifying options to certain directors and incentive
stock options to certain senior executives to purchase shares of the Company's
Class A Subordinate Voting Stock at a price no less than the fair market value
of the Class A Subordinate Voting Stock at the date of grant. The non-qualifying

                                                                               8

options vest over a four-year period. The incentive stock options vest based on
terms approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

At June 30, 2000, there were 1,140,000 options outstanding that were all granted
during 2000. None of the stock options granted in 2000 were exercised or
canceled during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. The exercise price of
the stock options outstanding at June 30, 2000 ranged from $4.875 to $6.90 with
a weighted average exercise price of $6.65.

There were 250,000 options exercisable at June 30, 2000 with an exercise price
of $6.90.

The Company has adopted the disclosure requirement provision of SFAS No. 123 in
accounting for stock based compensation issued to employees. The fair value of
the Company's options was estimated utilizing prescribed valuation models and
assumptions as of each grant date. Based on the results of such estimates,
management determined that there was no material effect on net income or
earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.

5. Earnings Per Share

6. Segment Information

In July 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS
131"), which establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments. This statement is effective for
financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company
has adopted this standard.

The Company's reportable segments reflect the Company's significant operating
activities that are evaluated separately by management. The company has two
reportable segments: racetrack operations and real estate operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
"Principles of Consolidation" in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

The following summary presents key information by operating segment (in
thousands):

7. Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended June 30, 2000, certain real estate properties were
sold to wholly owned subsidiaries of Magna International Inc ("Magna"). Proceeds
of $8.0 million were received on the sale of these properties. Due to the
related party nature of the transactions, the gain on sale, net of taxes, was
recorded as a contribution to equity.

8. Commitments and contingencies

One of the Company's subsidiaries has been named as a defendant in a class
action brought in a United States District Court by Gutwillig et al. The
plaintiffs in this action claim unspecified compensatory and punitive damages,
for resolution and disgorgement of profits, all in relation to forced labor
performed by the plaintiffs for such subsidiary and certain other Austrian and
German corporate defendants at their facilities in Europe during World War II.
As a result of the Reorganization, the Company acquired shares of such
subsidiary. Under Austrian law, such subsidiary would be jointly and severally
liable for the damages awarded in respect of this class action claim. An
Austrian subsidiary of Magna has agreed to indemnify such subsidiary for any
damages or expenses associated with this claim.

A subsidiary of Magna has agreed to indemnify the Company in respect of
environmental remediation costs and expenses relating to existing conditions in
certain of the Company's Austrian real estate properties.

                                                                              11

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Information set forth in this discussion and analysis contain various "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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. The reader is cautioned that these statements represent our judgment
concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual operating results and financial condition to differ materially.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as
"may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and similar words, although
some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. Although we believe
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from our expectations include, but are not limited to: the impact of competition
from operators of other racetracks and from other forms of gaming (including
from Internet and on-line wagering); a substantial change in law or regulations
affecting our gaming activities; a substantial change in allocation of live
racing days; our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's top
horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued
ability to complete expansion projects designed to generate new revenues and
attract new patrons; our ability to sell some of our real estate when we need to
or at a price we want; the impact of inclement weather; and our ability to
integrate recent racetrack acquisitions.

Overview

We operate horse racetracks and wagering operations and media sports wagering
operations, and are currently considering developing telephone account,
interactive television and Internet-based wagering operations, as well as
leisure and retail-based real estate projects on the land surrounding some of
our racetracks. We also own a real estate portfolio that includes a gated
residential community currently under development, two golf courses and related
recreational facilities, and other real estate. We are considering a number of
options with respect to the two golf courses, including direct operation or
leasing to third party operators, as well as sale and leaseback transactions or
outright sale. We intend gradually to sell the balance of our real estate
portfolio in order to provide capital to be used in our business.

Racetrack operations

Because of the seasonal nature of our racetrack business, revenues and operating
results for any interim quarter will not be indicative of the revenues and
operating results for the year. Our live racing schedule also dictates that we
will earn a substantial portion of our net earnings in the first quarter of each
year, which is when The Santa Anita Park Meet and the annual meet at Gulfstream
Park occur. Historically our second quarter of each year has the second largest
net earnings of each year, when the larger of the two annual meets at Golden
Gate Fields occurs.

                                                                              12
<PAGE>

Real estate operations

Following the initiation of a disposition plan for the Company's excess
properties, net proceeds of $8.3 million were received during the second
quarter. In addition a further $8.0 million was received on real estate sold to
a related party. For financial statement purposes, the gain on real estate sales
from the related party are reported, net of tax, as a contribution to equity. In
total, the Company's real estate sales generated $4.3 million in excess of the
historical cost of the properties sold. Furthermore, the Company has entered
into sales agreements for properties that will provide anticipated proceeds of
approximately $20.0 million in the third and fourth quarters.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Racetrack operations

Revenues from our racetrack operations were $117.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The revenues were primarily earned from Santa Anita Park,
Gulfstream Park and Golden Gate Fields, with Santa Anita Park ending their meet
during the latter half of April and operating as an inter-track wagering site
and Golden Gate Fields running their meet through most of the second quarter. As
Santa Anita Park was the only track owned in the first half of 1999, our total
revenues from racetrack operations in the comparable 1999 period were from Santa
Anita Park and totaled $54.2 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2000, our share of total pari-mutuel wagering
revenues for our racetracks was $87.0 million and non-wagering revenues were
$30.3 million. The major components of our non-wagering revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 were admission related revenues of $13.1 million
(comprising primarily admissions, parking, and program sales) and food and
beverage sales of $9.7 million, collectively 75% of total non-wagering revenues.

Racetrack costs and expenses, before depreciation and interest, were $83.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The major component of our costs
and expenses, before depreciation and interest, was payroll costs ($43.7
million) representing approximately 53% of our total costs.

         Real estate operations

Net proceeds on sale of real estate were $8.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Total proceeds received of $16.3 million included the cost of
real estate sold to a related party of $6.1 and $1.9 million (less tax) which
was recorded as a capital contribution. Revenues from our real estate rental and
other operations were $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

                                                                              13
<PAGE>

Real estate costs and expenses were $7.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.


         Predevelopment and other costs

Predevelopment and other costs were $2.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000. These costs include consultants' fees associated with feasibility
studies, construction designs, market analysis, site models and alternative site
investigations, and were incurred on our racetrack sites and land sites in
Europe.

         Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $7.0 million to $10.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of depreciation related to
our acquisitions of Gulfstream Park on September 1, 1999, Thistledown and
Remington Park on November 12, 1999, Golden Gate Fields on December 10, 1999 and
Great Lakes Downs on February 29, 2000.

         Income tax provision

We recorded an income tax provision of $10.9 million on pre-tax income of $25.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to an income tax
provision of $6.9 million on pre-tax income of $15.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. Our income tax provision relates primarily to the income of
our racetrack operations which was calculated based on a consolidated tax
sharing arrangement.

Three months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Racetrack operations

Revenues from our racetrack operations were $40.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. The revenues were primarily earned from Santa Anita Park
and Golden Gate Fields, with Santa Anita Park ending their meet during the
latter half of April and operating as an inter-track wagering site and Golden
Gate Fields running their meet through most of the second quarter. As Santa
Anita Park was the only track owned in the second quarter of 1999, our total
revenues from racetrack operations in the comparable 1999 period were from Santa
Anita Park and totaled $17.7 million.

In the three months ended June 30, 2000, our share of total pari-mutuel wagering
revenues for our racetracks was $27.9 million and non-wagering revenues were
$12.4 million. The major components of our non-wagering revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 were admission related revenues of $4.9 million
(comprising primarily admissions, parking, and program sales) and food and
beverage sales of $4.8 million, collectively 78% of total non-wagering revenues.

                                                                              14
<PAGE>

Racetrack costs and expenses, before depreciation and interest, were $33.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The major component of our
costs and expenses, before depreciation and interest, was payroll costs ($19.9
million) representing approximately 60% of our total costs.


         Real estate operations

Net proceeds on sale of real estate were $8.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000. Total proceeds received of $16.3 million included the cost of
real estate sold to a related party of $6.1 and $1.9 million (less tax) which
was recorded as a capital contribution. Revenues from our real estate rental and
other operations were $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

Real estate costs and expenses were $4.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 and $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

         Predevelopment and other costs

Predevelopment and other costs were $1.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000. These costs include consultants' fees associated with feasibility
studies, construction designs, market analysis, site models and alternative site
investigations, and were incurred on our racetrack sites and land sites in
Europe.

         Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.2 million to $4.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, primarily as a result of depreciation related
to our acquisitions of Gulfstream Park on September 1, 1999, Thistledown and
Remington Park on November 12, 1999, Golden Gate Fields on December 10, 1999 and
Great Lakes Downs on February 29, 2000.

         Income tax provision

We recorded an income tax provision of $1.7 million on pre-tax income of $4.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to no tax provision on
a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Our
income tax provision relates primarily to the income of our racetrack operations
which was calculated based on a consolidated tax sharing arrangement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2000, we had cash and cash equivalents of $46.7 million and total
shareholder's equity of $558.7 million.

                                                                              15
<PAGE>

In the first quarter we successfully completed the renegotiation of two credit
facilities for two of our subsidiaries, The Santa Anita Companies, Inc. and the
Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc. These credit facilities consist of a new $63.0
million three year term loan facility and the renewal of the $10.0 million
revolving operating line of credit, both of which would bear interest at rates
ranging between the U.S. Prime Rate and LIBOR plus 2.2% per annum.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000 we incurred capital expenditures of
approximately $8.8 million. We currently anticipate capital expenditures of
approximately $52.5 million during the year ending December 31, 2000. The
capital expenditures relate to normal ongoing capital improvements to the
racetracks of approximately $11.1 million, extraordinary capital improvements of
approximately $11.0 million required to Santa Anita Park and Golden Gate Fields
related to commitments made on acquisition and $5.2 million on new racetrack
related projects. In addition, approximately $14.9 million is anticipated for
the completion of the Aurora golf course and infrastructure and holding costs of
adjacent lands, and approximately $5.3 million for infrastructure and holding
costs of other properties. Finally, $5.0 million will be expended during the
year on interactive television account wagering, Internet and broadcast
initiatives.

         Operating activities
