                    SANTA ANITA REALTY ENTERPRISES, INC. AND
                 SANTA ANITA OPERATING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - INTERIM PERIOD ACCOUNTING POLICY

       Operating Company records operating  revenues associated with
thoroughbred horse racing at Santa Anita Racetrack on a daily basis, except for
season admissions which are recorded ratably over the racing season. Costs and
expenses associated with thoroughbred horse racing revenues are charged against
income in those interim periods in which the thoroughbred horse racing revenues
are recognized.  Other costs and expenses are recognized as they actually occur
throughout the year.  The rental fee paid by Operating Company to Realty is
recognized by both Realty and Operating Company as it is earned.  Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

       In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring
items) considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been included.

NOTE 2 - DISPOSITION OF NON-CORE REAL ESTATE ASSETS

       Effective January 1, 1996, Realty adopted Financial Accounting Standard
("FAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".  FAS No. 121 requires that impairment
losses be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows to be
generated by these assets are less than their carrying amount.  FAS No. 121 also
requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of
their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

       During 1995, Realty adopted a plan to dispose of its non-core real estate
assets and, accordingly, reduced the book value of these assets to their
estimated realizable values, resulting in a nonrecurring charge of $38,500,000.
In accordance with FAS No.121, no depreciation was recorded in the six months
ended June 30, 1996, relating to the non-core real estate assets. The six months
ended June 30, 1996 includes income of $745,000 relating to the non-core real
estate assets.

       On June 3, 1996, Realty completed the sale of the three neighborhood
shopping centers located in Phoenix, Arizona, for $8,103,000, net of commissions
and fees.  No gain or loss was recorded on the sale.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN PACIFIC GULF PROPERTIES INC.

       As of December 31, 1995, Realty owned 784,419 shares of Pacific Gulf
Properties Inc.  ("Pacific") common stock and, effective January 1, 1996,
accounted for its investment under the cost method of accounting.  Previously,
Realty accounted for its investment under the equity method of accounting.
Realty changed its method of accounting since it determined it did not have the
ability to exercise significant influence.

       On May 30, 1996, Realty sold its shares of Pacific common stock pursuant
to the terms of an underwritten, registered public offering, at a gross selling
price of $16.375 per share.  No gain or loss was recorded on the transaction.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

       Realty's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures include investments
in the following commercial real estate ventures at June 30, 1996:

<TABLE>

                    NAME                  OWNERSHIP       PROJECT

                    Anita Associates             50%   Regional mall
                    H-T Associates               50%   Regional mall
                    Joppa Associates         33-1/3%   Retail
</TABLE>

          Realty owns a 50% interest in H-T Associates, whose only asset is a
65% ownership interest in a regional mall, effectively giving Realty a 32.5%
ownership interest.

          During the 1995 fourth quarter, Realty reevaluated its consolidation
policy with respect to 50% owned joint ventures that had been previously
consolidated.  Realty determined that it did not have sufficient involvement in
these joint ventures to warrant consolidation and reported these joint ventures
on the equity method at December 31, 1995.  All prior period financial
statements and disclosures have been restated to conform to this presentation.
The restatement had no effect on reported net income for the six  months ended
June 30, 1995 or shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1995, but did have the
effect of reducing Realty's  assets and liabilities by $59,649,000 at June 30,
1995, and of reducing  Realty's revenues and  expenses by $5,781,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

          Combined condensed financial statement information for unconsolidated
joint ventures as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, is as follows (unaudited except for financial
statement information as of December 31, 1995):

NOTE 5 - SANTA ANITA ENTERTAINMENT CENTER

    In April 1996, Realty withdrew its Specific Plan for the development of an
Entertainment Center on underutilized land at the Santa Anita Racetrack, due to
the unfavorable conditions that were likely to be imposed on the Specific Plan
by the City of Arcadia.  Realty is continuing to evaluate alternative
initiatives with respect to development of the property.  At June 30, 1996,
"Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets" in the Realty Balance Sheet includes
$5,175,000 of Entertainment Center development costs associated with
entitlement, planning and leasing activities.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

SANTA ANITA REALTY ENTERPRISES, INC.

    The following narrative discusses Realty's results of operations for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, together with
liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 1996.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH SECOND 
       QUARTER 1995

    Realty's revenues are derived principally from the rental of real property.
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $4,240,000,
compared with $4,795,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of
11.6%.  The lower 1996 revenues were due primarily to a decrease in Santa Anita
Racetrack rental revenues and a decrease in rental revenues from the other real
estate investments.

    The most significant source of rental revenue is the lease of Santa Anita
Racetrack.  Racetrack rental revenues for 1996 were $1,992,000, a decrease of
16.1% from revenues of $2,374,000 in 1995.  The decrease in rental revenues was
due to the decrease in total wagering resulting from fewer race days.

    Rental revenues from other real estate investments in 1996 were $1,971,000,
a decrease of 7.2% from revenues of $2,125,000 in 1995.  The decrease in 1996
was due primarily to the sale of the three neighborhood shopping centers located
in Phoenix, Arizona, effective June 3, 1996.

    Costs and expenses for 1996 were $2,915,000, a decrease of 22.5% from costs
and expenses of $3,763,000 in 1995 (excluding the costs of an equity offering
which was withdrawn).  The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in
depreciation and amortization expense of $550,000 and interest and other expense
of $362,000.

    The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to no
depreciation expense being taken in 1996 on the assets held for sale, which
treatment is in accordance with FAS No. 121.  The decrease in interest and other
expense is due to payoff of the mortgage loan on the Santa Anita office building
in November 1995, payoff of the mortgage loans on the three Phoenix shopping
centers, effective June 3, 1996, and pay down of borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement in May 1996, utilizing proceeds from the sale of Pacific common
stock.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH 
       SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

    Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $13,562,000,
compared with $13,861,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of
2.2%.  The lower 1996 revenues were due primarily to a decrease in Santa Anita
Racetrack rental revenues and a decrease in rental revenues from the real estate
investments.

    Racetrack rental revenues for 1996 were $8,707,000, a decrease of 1.6% from
revenues of $8,852,000 in 1995.  The decrease in rental revenues was due to the
decrease in on-track and California satellite wagering partially offset by the
increase in out-of-state wagering.

    Rental revenues from other real estate investments in 1996 were $3,987,000,
a decrease of 6.3% from revenues of $4,255,000 in 1995.  The decrease in 1996
was due primarily to the sale of the three neighborhood shopping centers located
in Phoenix, Arizona, effective June 3, 1996.

    Costs and expenses for 1996 were $6,514,000, a decrease of 19.0% from costs
and expenses of $8,038,000 in 1995 (excluding the costs of an equity offering
which was withdrawn).  The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in
depreciation and amortization expense of $1,019,000 and interest and other
expense of $538,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH 
       SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 (CONTINUED)

    The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was due to no
depreciation expense being taken in 1996 on the assets held for sale, which
treatment is in accordance with FAS No.121.  The decrease in interest expense is
due to payoff of the mortgage loan on the Santa Anita office building in
November 1995, payoff of the mortgage loans on the three Phoenix shopping
centers, effective June 3, 1996, and pay down of borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement in May 1996, utilizing proceeds from the sale of Pacific common
stock.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Realty has funds available from a combination of short- and long-term
sources.  Short-term sources included cash of $125,000 at June 30, 1996.

    The decrease in cash for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $42,000,
compared with an increase of cash of $2,580,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1995.  The comparative decrease in cash of $2,622,000 was attributable to an
increase of $219,000 in cash provided by operating activities and an increase of
$22,083,000 in cash provided by investing activities, partially offset by an
increase of $24,924,000 in cash used in financing activities.

    The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $219,000 was due
primarily to equity offering costs of $700,000 in 1995 and to a decrease in
other assets, primarily accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, of $28,000 in
1996 compared with a decrease in other assets, primarily accounts receivable and
prepaid expenses, of $440,000 in 1995.  These increases in cash provided were
partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities, primarily accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, of $632,000 in 1996, compared with an increase in other
liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued liabilities, of $246,000 in
1995.

    The increase in cash provided by investing activities of $22,083,000 in 1996
was due primarily to cash received on the sale of Pacific common stock of
$12,139,000 and on the sale of the Phoenix properties of $8,103,000, to a
decrease of $1,366,000 in additions to certain other assets, primarily the
purchase of the option on the Bell casino in 1995, partially offset by an
increase in expenditures associated with development of the Santa Anita
Entertainment Center, and to a decrease of $1,097,000 in investments in and
advances to unconsolidated joint ventures.  These increases in cash provided
were partially offset by dividends of $612,000 received from Pacific in 1995.

    The increase in cash used in financing activities of $24,924,000 in 1996 was
due primarily to repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit agreement of
$18,650,000 in 1996, compared with additional borrowings under the revolving
credit agreement of $4,300,000 in 1995, and to an increase in repayment of
mortgage loans payables of $5,801,000.  These increases in cash used were
partially offset by an increase in intercompany payables of $2,580,000 in 1996,
compared with a decrease of $1,310,000 in 1995.

    In January 1996, Realty's revolving credit agreement with a commercial bank
was extended to June 30, 1996 and available borrowings were reduced to
$20,000,000.  In June 1996, the revolving credit agreement was further extended
to February 1, 1997.  At June 30, 1996, Realty had borrowed $2,300,000 under
this facility.  Borrowings bear interest, at Realty's option, at the prime rate,
at LIBOR plus 1%, or at the six-month certificate of deposit rate plus 1%.
Effective July 1, 1996, the interest rate spread on LIBOR and certificate of
deposit based borrowings was increased to 1 1/4%.  Realty's Racetrack rental
revenues have been pledged as collateral under the credit agreement.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

    The revolving credit agreement contains a restriction on the payment of
dividends, in any twelve-months period, to the greater of $.80 per share or the
minimum amount necessary to maintain Realty's status as a real estate investment
trust or to avoid the imposition of federal income tax or excise tax.  Realty's
current dividend policy is in compliance with this dividend restriction.
Additionally, at June 30, 1996, Realty was in compliance with the other
financial ratio and maintenance restrictions.

SANTA ANITA OPERATING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

    The following narrative discusses Operating Company's results of operations
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, together
with liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 1996.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH SECOND 
       QUARTER 1995

    Operating Company derives its revenues from thoroughbred horse racing
activities.  Horse racing revenues in the second quarter of 1996 were
$13,891,000, down 9.4% from $15,333,000 in 1995, primarily due to a decrease in
the number of race days, on-track attendance and total wagering.

    In the second quarter of 1996, live thoroughbred horse racing at Santa Anita
Racetrack totaled 16 days compared with 19 days in the same period last year.
Total and average daily on-track attendance at the live racing events in the
second quarter of 1996 were down 15.9% and .1% from the comparable year ago
period.  Total wagering in the second quarter of 1996 was down 8.0% while
average daily wagering was up 9.2% compared with the same period last year.  The
major components of the wagering mix changed in the second quarter of 1996
compared with the same period last year as follows:  total and average daily on-
track wagering decreased 18.2% and 2.8%; total and average daily wagering at
Southern California satellite locations decreased 19.6% and 4.5%; total and
average daily wagering at out-of-state locations increased 30.5% and 54.9%; and
total wagering at Northern California locations decreased 15.6% while average
daily wagering increased .2%

    Also, in the second quarter ended June 30, Santa Anita Racetrack operated 51
days in 1996 and 48 days in 1995 as a satellite wagering facility for Hollywood
Park.  Total attendance as a satellite wagering facility was up 2.1% while
average daily attendance was down 3.9% compared with the year ago period.  Total
wagering was up 2.9% while average daily wagering was down 3.2% for the second
quarter of 1996 compared with the same period last year.

    Management anticipates that the movement from on-track attendance and
wagering to off-site is likely to continue.  The growth rate in off-site
wagering is dependent primarily upon such factors as Operating Company's ability
to access new markets and the removal of various legal barriers which inhibit
entry into such markets.

    Horse racing operating costs in the second quarter of 1996 were $10,309,000
(or 74.2% of horse racing revenues) compared with $10,769,000 (or 70.2% of horse
racing revenues) in the same period last year.  The operating margin decline in
the second quarter of 1996 compared with the same period last year was primarily
due to a refinement of Operating Company's method of determining annual fixed
costs and charging those costs and expenses against income when thoroughbred
horse racing revenues are recognized.

    Depreciation expense in the second quarter of 1996 was $616,000, or $63,000
lower than the $553,000 in the comparable period last year.  General and
administrative expenses were $1,028,000 in the second quarter of 1996, a
decrease of 28.5% from the $1,439,000 in the comparable period last year due to
lower shareholder related expenses and administrative salaries.  Interest
expense decreased to $69,000 in the second quarter of 1996 from $87,000 in the
second quarter of 1995.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH SECOND 
       QUARTER 1995 (CONTINUED)

    Rental expense to Realty was $1,992,000 in the second quarter of 1996
compared with $2,374,000 in the same period last year.  The decrease in rental
expense of 16.1% was due to the decrease in total wagering resulting from fewer
race days.  Under the lease terms between LATC and Realty, LATC pays to Realty
1.5% of the on-track wagering on live races at Santa Anita Racetrack and 26.5%
of its wagering commissions from all satellite wagering.

    Due to the revenue and expense items previously discussed, Operating Company
reported net income in the second quarter of 1996 of $79,000 or $.01 per share,
compared with net income of $350,000 or $.03 per share for the same period in
1995.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH 
       SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

    Horse racing revenues in the first six months of 1996 were $51,972,000, down
 .4% from $52,174,000 in 1995, primarily due to fewer live race days and lower
on-track attendance and wagering.

    In the first six months of 1996, live thoroughbred horse racing at Santa
Anita Racetrack totaled 82 days compared with 83 days in the same period last
year.  Total average daily on-track attendance at the live racing events in the
first six months of 1996 were down 5.5% and 4.3% from the comparable year ago
period.  Total and average daily wagering in the first six months of 1996 were
up 4.6% and 5.8% compared with the same period last year.  The major components
of the wagering mix changed in the first six months of 1996 compared with the
same period last year as follows:  total and average daily on-track wagering
decreased 4.4% and 3.3%; total and average daily wagering at Southern California
satellite locations decreased 4.5% and 3.3%;  total and average daily wagering
at out-of-state locations increased 35.4% and 37.1%; and total and average
wagering at Northern California locations decreased 5.4% and 4.2%.

    Also, in the first six months of the year, Santa Anita Racetrack operated 51
days in 1996 and 48 days in 1995 as a satellite wagering facility for Hollywood
Park.  Total attendance as a satellite wagering facility was up 2.1% while
average daily attendance was down 3.9% compared with the year ago period.  Total
wagering was up 2.9% while average daily wagering was down 3.2% for the second
quarter of 1996 compared with the same period last year.

    Management anticipates that the movement from on-track attendance and
wagering to off-site is likely to continue.  The growth rate in off-site
wagering is dependent primarily upon such factors as Operating Company's ability
to access new markets and the removal of various legal barriers which inhibit
entry into such markets.

    Horse racing operating costs in the first six months of 1996 were
$35,199,000 (or 67.7% of horse racing revenues) compared with $34,433,000 (or
66.0% of horse racing revenues) in the same period last year.  The operating
margin decline in the first six months of 1996 compared with the same period
last year was primarily due to a refinement of Operating Company's method of
determining annual fixed costs and charging those costs and expenses against
income when thoroughbred horse racing revenues are recognized.

    Depreciation expense in the first six months of 1996 was $2,373,000, or
$282,000 lower than the $2,655,000 in the comparable period last year.  The 1995
depreciation expense includes an accelerated depreciation charge of $432,000 on
the Santa Anita Racetrack turf course, which was replaced in April 1995.
General and administrative expenses were $3,502,000 in the first six months of
1996, a decrease of 15.4% from the $4,139,000 in the comparable period last
year due to lower shareholder related expenses and administrative salaries.
Interest expense decreased to $142,000 in the first six months of 1996 from
$178,000 in the first six months of 1995.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED WITH 
       SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 (CONTINUED)

    Rental expense to Realty was $8,707,000 in the first six months of 1996
compared with $8,852,000 in the same period last year.  The decrease in rental
expense of 1.6% was due to the decrease in on-track and California satellite
wagering partially offset by the increase in out-of-state wagering.  Under the
lease terms between LATC and Realty, LATC pays to Realty 1.5% of the on-track
wagering on live races at Santa  Anita Racetrack and 26.5% of its wagering
commissions from all satellite wagering.

    Due to the revenue and expense items previously discussed, Operating Company
reported net income in the first six months of 1996 of $2,437,000 or $.22 per
share, compared with net income of $2,318,000 or $.21 per share for the same
period in 1995.

    SEASONALITY

    Operating Company's operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Operating Company recognizes the majority of its revenues in the first quarter
due to live racing activity at Santa Anita.  Therefore, the results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full year.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1996, Operating Company's sources of liquidity included cash and
short-term investments of $9,536,000, together with a verbal commitment from
Realty to provide up to $10,000,000 in short-term borrowings.  In addition,
Realty has guaranteed an Operating Company capital lease of $1,311,000.
Operating Company's ability to utilize Realty's line of credit is dependent upon
Realty's liquidity and capital resources.  (See Item 2. "Managements' Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Santa Anita
Realty Enterprises, Inc. - Liquidity and Capital Resources").  For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, short-term investments earned interest income of
$340,000.

    The cash balances and related interest income from short-term investments
reflect seasonal variations associated with the Santa Anita meet.  During the
meet, large cash balances and short-term investments are maintained by LATC,
including amounts to be disbursed for payment of license fees payable to the
state, purses payable to horse owners and un-cashed winning pari-mutuel tickets
payable to the public.

    Operating Company generated $1,551,000 less cash from operations in the
first six months of 1996 compared with the same period last year.  Net cash used
by operating activities was $302,000 in 1996 compared with $1,580,000 in 1995.
The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily due to the accrual
of liabilities partially offset by the payment of California Franchise Taxes.

    Net cash used in investment activities was $868,000 in the first six months
of 1996 compared with $1,965,000 in the same period last year.  The $1,097,000
decrease in cash used in investment activities was attributable to a lower level
of capital improvements at Santa Anita Racetrack in 1996.

    Net cash used in financing activities was $3,004,000 in the first six months
of 1996 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $922,000 in
the same period last year.  In the first six months of 1996, Operating Company
prepaid their rental payments due to Realty.

meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of

                         Stock and Stock Certificates

     Section 6.1.  Right to Certificate.  Every holder of stock in the
                   --------------------                               
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by or in the name of
the Corporation, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or a
Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares
owned by him in the Corporation.

     Section 6.2.  Statements Setting Forth Rights.  If the Corporation shall be
                   -------------------------------                              
authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any
class, the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and rights shall
be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate which
the Corporation shall issue to represent 

                                       27
<PAGE>

Section 202 of the Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing
requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate
which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a
statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder
who so requests the designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and

                   -----------------                                        
provided, no new certificate for shares shall be issued in lieu of an old one
unless the latter is surrendered and cancelled at the same time.  The Board of
Directors may, however, in case any certificate for shares is lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed, authorize the issuance of a new certificate in lieu
thereof, upon such terms and conditions, including reasonable indemnification of
the Corporation, as the Board shall determine.

     Section 6.5.  Transfers of Stock.
                   ------------------ 

     (a)  Subject to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 6.5, upon
surrender to any transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares
of the Corporation duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of
succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the
Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel
the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

     (b)  Beginning at the time that (A) the merger of Santa Anita Consolidated,
Inc. ("Santa Anita") into Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Realty"), and (B) the payment by Realty of the dividend in kind of
the shares of the Corporation (the "Distribution") shall have both occurred
(hereinafter called the "effective time of the restriction"), and continuing
thereafter until such time as the limitation on transfer provided for in the
Pairing Agreement between Realty and the Corporation shall be terminated in the
manner therein provided:

     (i)  The shares of common stock of the Corporation shall not be
transferable, and shall not be transferred on the books of the Corporation,
unless (1) a simultaneous transfer is made by the same transferor to the same
transferee, or (2) such transferor has previously arranged with Realty for the
transfer to the transferee, of a like number of shares of common stock of Realty
and such shares are paired with one another.

                                       30

     (ii)  Except for certificates representing shares of common stock of Realty
referred to in subparagraph (vi) below, each certificate evidencing ownership of
shares of common stock of Realty (including certificates issued by Santa Anita)
issued and not cancelled prior to the effective time of the restriction shall be
deemed to evidence a like number of shares of common stock of the Corporation.

     (iii)  Except for certificates representing common stock of Realty referred
to in subparagraph (vi) below, any registered holder of a certificate evidencing
ownership of shares of common stock of Realty (including certificates issued by
Santa Anita) issued prior to the effective time of the restriction may, upon
request and presentation of said certificate to the Corporation's transfer
agent, obtain in substitution therefor a certificate or certificates registered
in such holder's name evidencing the same number of common shares of the
Corporation and a like number of shares of common stock of Realty.

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
     (iv)  A conspicuous legend shall be placed on the face of each certificate
evidencing ownership of shares of common stock of the Corporation issued after
the effective time of the restrictions, referring to the restrictions on
transfer set forth in the Corporation's By-laws.

     (v)  For purposes of this paragraph (b) only, the terms "common stock" and
"common shares" shall include preferred stock which is convertible into shares
of common stock.

     (vi)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph (b), any
stockholder whose ownership of the common stock of the Corporation at the
effective time of the restriction would be deemed, after application of the
attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (the "Code"), to result
in Realty owning, directly or indirectly, more than 9.25% of the common stock of
the Corporation will not be subject to the restrictions imposed by this
paragraph (b) to the extent that such ownership would cause Realty, directly or
indirectly, to be deemed to own, after application 

                                       32
<PAGE>
 
of the attribution rules of the Code, more than 9.25% of the total number of the
outstanding shares of the Corporation, provided that (1) a sufficient amount of
the common stock of the Corporation (or the right to receive such common stock)
which would otherwise be paired with stock of Realty is sold to third parties so
that Realty, directly or indirectly, after application of the attribution rules
of the Code, will not own in excess of 9.25% of the common stock of the
Corporation, (2) all holders of the unpaired shares enter into an agreement,
satisfactory to the Boards of Directors of Realty, the Corporation and Santa
Anita, providing that such shares not be transferable by sale or any other
means, without arranging for such shares to be paired with an equal number of
shares of Realty, unless such sale is made to the Corporation or Realty and (3)
such stockholder and any transferee of such stockholder executes a waiver of any
claims he or she may have arising out of the close business relationship between
the Corporation and Realty and claims arising out of conflicts of interest
inherent in such business relationship. The other provisions of this paragraph
(b) shall apply to all shares of the 

                                       33
<PAGE>
 
Corporation otherwise held by any stockholder unless they are specifically
exempted by this subparagraph (vi).

     (c)  If the Board of Directors shall at any time and in good faith be of
the opinion that direct or indirect ownership of shares of either common stock
or preferred stock, or both, of the Corporation has or may become concentrated
to an extent which would cause Realty to fail to qualify or be disqualified as a
real estate investment trust by virtue of Section 856(a)(5) and (6) of the Code,
or similar provisions of successor statutes, pertaining to the qualification of
Realty as a real estate investment trust, the Board of Directors shall have the
power (i) by lot or other means deemed equitable by them to call for purchase
from any stockholder of the Corporation such number of shares sufficient in the
opinion of the Board of Directors to maintain or bring the direct or indirect
ownership of shares of stock of the Corporation into conformity with the
requirements of said Section 856(a)(5) and (6) pertaining to Realty and (ii) to
refuse to register the transfer of shares of stock to any person whose
acquisition of such shares 

                                       34
<PAGE>
 
would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in Realty being unable
to conform to the requirements of said Section 856(a)(5) and (6). The purchase
price for the shares of stock purchased pursuant hereto shall be equal to the
fair market value of such shares as reflected in the closing price for such
shares on the principal stock exchange on which such shares are listed or, if
such shares are not listed, then the last bid quotation for shares of stock as
of the close of business on the date fixed by the Board of Directors for such
purchase or, if no quotation for the shares is available, as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors. From and after the date fixed for purchase by
the Board of Directors, the holder of any shares so called for purchase shall
cease to be entitled to dividends, voting rights and other benefits with respect
to such shares excepting only the right to payment of the purchase price fixed
as aforesaid. In order to further assure that ownership of the shares of stock
does not become so concentrated, any transfer of shares that would prevent
Realty from continuing to be qualified as a real estate investment trust by
virtue of the application of Section 

                                       35
<PAGE>
 
856(a)(5) and (6) of the Code shall be void ab initio and the intended
transferee of such shares shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein.
If the foregoing provision is determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any
legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the transferee of such shares
shall be deemed to have acted as agent on behalf of the Corporation in acquiring
such shares and to hold such shares on behalf of the Corporation. For purposes
of determining whether the Corporation is in compliance with Section 856(a)(5)
and (6), Section 542(a)(2) and Section 544 of the Code, or similar provisions of
successor statutes, shall be applied.

     (d)  In addition to the requirements of subparagraph (c) above, if the
Board of Directors shall at any time and in good faith be of the opinion that
direct or indirect ownership of shares of either common stock or preferred
stock, or both, of the Corporation has or may become concentrated to an extent
which would cause any rent to be paid to Realty to fail to qualify or be
disqualified as rent from real property by virtue of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the
Code, 

                                       36
<PAGE>
 
or similar provisions of successor statutes, pertaining to the qualification of
Realty as a real estate investment trust, the Board of Directors shall have the
power (i) by lot or other means deemed equitable by them to call for purchase
from any stockholder of the Corporation such number of shares sufficient in the
opinion of the Board of Directors to maintain or bring the direct or indirect
ownership of shares of stock of the Corporation into conformity with the
requirements of Section 856(d)(2)(B) pertaining to Realty and (ii) to refuse to
register the transfer of shares of stock to any person whose acquisition of such
shares would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, result in Realty being
unable to conform to the requirements of said Section 856(d)(2)(B). The purchase
price for the shares of stock purchased pursuant hereto shall be equal to the
fair market value of such shares as reflected in the closing price for such
shares on the principal stock exchange on which such shares are listed, or if
such shares are not listed, then the last bid quotation for shares of stock, as
of the close of business on the date fixed by the Board of Directors for such
purchase or, if no quotation for the 

                                       37
<PAGE>
 
shares is available, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. From
and after the date fixed for purchase by the Board of Directors, the holders of
any shares so called for purchase shall cease to be entitled to dividends,
voting rights and other benefits with respect to such shares, excepting only the
right to payment of the purchase price fixed as aforesaid. In order to further
assure that ownership of the shares of stock does not become so concentrated,
any transfer of shares that would prevent Realty from continuing to be qualified
as a real estate investment trust by virtue of the application of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code shall be void ab initio and the intended transferee of
                                       ---------
such shares shall be deemed never to have had an interest therein. If the
foregoing provision is determined to be void or invalid by virtue of any legal
decision, statute, rule or regulation, then the transferee of such shares shall
be deemed to have acted as agent on behalf of the Corporation in acquiring such
shares and to hold such shares on behalf of the Corporation. For purposes of
determining whether this Corporation is in compliance 

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
with Section 856(d)(2)(B), Section 856(d)(5) of the Code, or similar provisions
of successor statutes, shall be applied.

     (e)  The stockholders of the Corporation shall upon demand disclose to the
Board of Directors in writing such information with respect to their direct and
indirect ownership of the stock of the Corporation as the Board of Directors
deems necessary to determine whether Realty satisfies the provisions of Section
856(a)(5) and (6) and 856(d) of the Code and the regulations thereunder as the
same shall be from time to time amended, or to comply with the requirements of
any other taxing authority.

     Section 6.6.  Form of Consideration.  In purchasing such shares from any
                   ---------------------                                     
shareholder in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Corporation may pay
consideration in the form of cash or, at the option of the Board of Directors,
in the form of subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation.  The principal
amount of such subordinated indebtedness shall be equal to the purchase price of
the shares (less amounts paid in cash, if any) and it shall have such 

                                       39
<PAGE>
 
other terms as may be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of
issuance.

     Section 6.7.  Record Date.  In order that the Corporation may determine the
                   -----------                                                  
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereto, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in
respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any
other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date,
which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of
such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. A
determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a
meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.

                   -----------------------                                    
to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the
owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share
or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express
or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

     Section 6.9.  Transfer Agents and Registrars.  The Board of Directors may
                   ------------------------------                             
appoint one or more corporate transfer agents and registrars.

                    ---------                                          
Corporation may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special
meeting, pursuant to law.  Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in
shares of the capital stock.

aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or
sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think
proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing
dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or
for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interest of
the Corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the
manner in which it was created.

                         Indemnification and Insurance

     Section 7.1.  Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is a party
                   ------------------------                                    
or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal represen-

                                       42
<PAGE>
 
tative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether
the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official
capacity or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee
or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware, as the same exist or may
hereafter be amended, against all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and
losses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.2
hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking 

                                       43
<PAGE>
 
indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in
this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by
the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware
General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation
of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The
Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to
employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope 

                                       44
<PAGE>
 
and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

     Section 7.2.  Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section
                   -------------------------------                           
7.1 of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days
after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at
any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has failed to meet a standard of
conduct which makes it permissible under Delaware law for the Corporation to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination 

                                       45
<PAGE>
 
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is
permissible in the circumstances because he or she has met such standard of
conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has
not met such standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant has failed to meet such standard of conduct.

     Section 7.3.  Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and
                   -------------------------                                   
the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other
right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute,
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     Section 7.4.  Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
                   ---------                                                 
expense, to protect itself and 

                                       46
<PAGE>
 
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another

further represents and warrants that as of the date of this Amendment there 
exists no Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any 
condition, act or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time 
or both would constitute any such Event of Default.

                   RESIGNATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
                   -----------------------------------------


          In consideration of the covenants undertaken and releases contained in
this Resignation and General Release Agreement (the "Agreement"), Christopher T.
Stirling ("Employee") and Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc. ("SARE"), agree
as follows:

          Employee hereby resigns, effective June 30, 1996 (which is the
expiration date of his Employment Agreement with SARE dated March 25, 1994),
from his position as President and Chief Operating Officer of SARE.  SARE shall
pay to Employee on or before June 30, 1996, his accrued but unused vacation to
June 30, 1996 which SARE and Employee agree is two weeks.  Employee shall cease
to accrue any vacation or other payments or benefits beyond June 30, 1996.
Employee shall have the option to convert and continue his health insurance
after June 30, 1996, as may be required or authorized by law under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA").  SARE shall
provide Employee with outplacement services of his choice, the cost of which
shall not exceed 15% of Employee's 1996 salary.  In addition, SARE will transfer
to Employee the personal computer, printer and peripheral computer equipment of
SARE's which is currently located in Employee's home.  By separate consulting
agreement ("Consulting Agreement"), SARE and Employee have agreed to enter into
a consulting relationship, the terms of which shall be governed solely by the
Consulting Agreement.  For each of the calendar months during which the
Consulting Agreement is in effect, SARE shall pay to SARE's insurance provider
Employee's costs for medical and dental insurance premiums pursuant to
Employee's election for coverage under COBRA.  Each of SARE and Employee agrees
and acknowledges that the payments made by SARE pursuant to the preceding
sentence are made in the good faith belief that such payments are excluded from
income for federal and/or state tax purposes and, consequently, are not taxable
income;  in the event that any taxation authority rules otherwise with respect
to the payments made by SARE, Employee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless SARE and its successors and employees from and against any taxes,
penalties and interest required to be paid by such taxation authority.  In the
event such payments are contested by any taxation authority, SARE shall
cooperate with Employee in Employee's response thereto.  Notwithstanding that
Employee's resignation is effective June 30, 1996, SARE and Employee have agreed
that Employee shall remove his personal items from SARE's offices by April 26,
1996 and shall have no further obligation to, and shall not, be present in such
offices after April 26, 1996.

          Except for those obligations created by or arising out of this
Agreement or the Consulting Agreement, Employee hereby acknowledges full and

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
complete satisfaction of, and releases and discharges and covenants not to sue
SARE, its divisions, subsidiaries, parent, affiliated corporations, past and
present, and each of them, as well as their directors, officers, shareholders,
representatives, assignees, successors, agents and employees, past and present,
and each of them, (individually and collectively, "Releasees") from and with
respect to any and all claims, wages, agreements, obligations, demands and
causes of action, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or
in any way connected with his employment relationship with, or his separation or
resignation from, SARE, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any claim for severance pay, bonus or similar benefit, sick leave,
pension, retirement, vacation pay, life insurance, health or medical insurance
or any other fringe benefit, workers' compensation or disability, or any other
occurrences, acts or omissions whatever, known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Releasees
committed or omitted prior to the date of this Agreement, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claim under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act or any other
federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance, provided, however, this
release does not affect any rights Employee may have in any 401(k) plan or any
other retirement benefit accruing from Employee's employment with SARE.

          Employee acknowledges that, by reason of his position with SARE, he
has been given access to lists of customers, vendors, prices, business plans and
similar confidential or proprietary materials, or information respecting SARE's
business affairs.  Employee represents that he has held all such information
confidential and will continue to do so, and that he will not use such
information and relationships for any business (which term herein includes a
partnership, firm, corporation or any other entity) without the prior written
consent of SARE.  Employee shall return to SARE and shall not make or copy in
any form or manner lists of customers, prices, business plans and similar
confidential and proprietary materials or information.  Employee additionally
agrees to cooperate fully and to take all such additional actions as may be
necessary to retrieve such information from all files and/or computer hard
drives or floppy disks.

          This Agreement is intended to be effective as a bar to every claim,
demand and cause of action stated above.  Employee acknowledges that he may
hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which
Employee now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this
Agreement, may have materially affected the terms of this Agreement.
Nevertheless, Employee hereby expressly waives any rights and benefits conferred
by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that, "A GENERAL
   ------- ----       ----------------------                                 
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO A CLAIM WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE,
WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR."

          Employee expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this
Agreement, he is waiving any and all rights or claims that he may have arising
under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, which have
arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement.  Employee will be
provided ample time and opportunity to consider the terms of this Agreement and
to consult with an attorney if he chooses to do so.   Employee expressly
acknowledges and agrees that, in return for this Agreement, he will receive
compensation beyond that which he was already entitled to receive before
entering into this Agreement.  If Employee agrees to all the provisions of this
Agreement, he shall return the executed original of this Agreement to SARE.
Employee shall have twenty-one (21) days from the date he receives this
Agreement in which to consider and sign this Agreement.  Employee has been
informed that either Employee or SARE may revoke this Agreement in its entirety
during the seven days following execution by Employee.  Any revocation of this
Agreement must be in writing and hand delivered during the revocation period.

          Employee agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
remain confidential as between the parties and he shall not disclose them to any
other person.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee will
not respond to or in any way participate in or contribute to any public
discussion, notice or other publicity concerning, or in any way relating to,
execution of this Agreement or the events (including any negotiations) which led
to its execution.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee
specifically agrees that he shall not disclose information regarding this
Agreement to any current or former employee of Releasees.  Employee hereby
agrees that disclosure by him of any of the terms and conditions of the
Agreement in violation of the foregoing shall constitute and be treated as a
material breach of this Agreement.

          This instrument constitutes and contains the entire agreement and
understanding concerning Employee's employment, voluntary resignation from the
same and the other subject matters addressed herein between the parties, and
supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and all agreements proposed or

was employed by Company, and may in the future supply to Consultant during the
term of this Agreement certain trade secrets and confidential information.
Consultant agrees to limit his use of such material to what is necessary to
perform the services under this Agreement and to abide by any restrictions
imposed by Company on the use of such material.  Consultant shall not, directly
or indirectly, communicate, divulge, disclose, reveal, report, publish or
transfer, to any person or entity, or use to the detriment of Company or use for
the benefit of Consultant or any other person or entity, or misuse in any way,
any confidential information or trade secrets of Company, without the prior
written consent of an officer of the Company.  Consultant shall take such
precautions as shall be reasonably calculated to keep strictly confidential such
confidential information and trade secrets and to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure thereof.  Consultant further agrees that upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Consultant shall return such confidential information
and trade secrets and any copies thereof to Company.  After termination of this
Agreement, Consultant shall not utilize or divulge in any way such confidential
information and trade secrets.  Consultant's obligations under this Section 4
shall continue beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

hereunder, unless such waiver or modification is in writing, duly executed as
aforesaid.  Failure of either party to exercise or otherwise act with respect to
any of its rights hereunder in the event of a breach of any of the terms or
conditions hereof by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of such
breach, nor prevent such party from thereafter enforcing strict compliance with
any and all of the terms and conditions hereof.
