NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

    1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

       The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
       opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the
       results for the interim periods on a basis consistent with that of prior
       periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

       The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in
       accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not
       include all the disclosures normally required by generally accepted
       accounting principles or those normally made in Scioto Downs, Inc.'s
       (the Company) annual Form 10-K filing. All adjustments that are
       necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period are
       normal and recurring. Reference should be made to the Company's 1996
       Form 10-K for additional disclosures, including a summary of the
       Company's accounting policies.

       The year-end condensed balance sheet was derived from audited financial
       statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
       accepted accounting principles.

       Certain items have been reclassified in the accompanying financial
       statements for prior periods to conform with the presentation in the
       current period.

    2. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

       Net income (loss) per share is derived by dividing net income (loss) by
       the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

    3. INCOME TAXES:

       Income taxes have been recorded at July 31, 1997 at the anticipated
       annualized effective tax rate. The Company expects to utilize net
       operating loss carryforwards to offset tax liabilities at October 31,
       1997.


                                                                               7

    4. TERM NOTE AGREEMENT:

       The Company entered into a three-year term note with its principal
       financial institution on July 1, 1997 to replace its existing note
       agreement entered into in February 1997. The existing note was obtained
       to finance the installation of simulcasting equipment. The note
       agreement calls for a three-year amortization of the principal at a
       fixed rate of 8.17%. The Company is required to make monthly payments of
       principal and interest.

       The aggregate amount of the required annual principal payments at July
       31, 1997 is as follows:

            Remainder of fiscal year 1997          $       22,714
            1998                                          152,404

    5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per
       Share (FAS 128). FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued
       for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods.
       Early adoption is not permitted and the statement requires restatement
       of all prior-period earnings per share data presented after the
       effective date.  The Company will adopt FAS 128 in the first quarter of
       fiscal year 1998.  The adoption of FAS 128 will have no impact on the
       Company's earnings per share.

       In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
       Income (FAS 130). FAS 130 is effective for financial statements issued
       for periods beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
       encouraged. The Company intends to adopt FAS 130 in fiscal year 1998.

       In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments
       of an Enterprise and Related Information (FAS 131). FAS 131 is effective
       for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15,
       1997, with earlier application encouraged. The Company intends to adopt
       FAS 131 in fiscal year 1999.

                                                                               8

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results in 1997 and
future periods may differ significantly from the prospects discussed in the
forward-looking statements.

             THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
                     THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 1996

Income from racing operations before taxes was $1,374,715, which is an increase
of $502,888, or 57.7%. The increase is due to the additional revenue derived
from full card simulcasting. Simulcasting commission and breakage was
$3,625,522 compared to live racing commission and breakage of $2,406,206, which
represents a net increase in total commissions and breakage of $1,656,106.
Additional revenue of $212,594 was derived from the exported signal of Scioto
Downs' live races to other racetracks and off-track betting parlors. Total
revenues increased $1,622,332 due primarily to the revenue derived from full
card simulcasting. Operating expenses increased $1,126,774 due to increases in
purse expense, salaries, and other operating expenses. The purse expense
increased due to the increase in pari-mutuel commissions during the three month
period as purse expense is based upon a percentage of commissions earned net of
taxes during live racing days. Wages and salaries increased by $172,198 as the
racetrack is open additional hours as a result of simulcasting. Other operating
expense increased by $499,645 due to increases in utilities, program printing,
and simulcasting expenses.

Income from racing operations before taxes was $369,138 which is an increase of
$616,571 or 249.2%. The increase is attributable to the additional revenue
derived from full card simulcasting. Simulcasting commission and breakage was
$3,625,522 compared to live racing commission and breakage of $2,406,206, which
represents a net increase in total commissions and breakage of $1,656,106.
Additional revenue of $212,594 was derived from the exported signal of Scioto
Downs' live races to other racetracks and off-track betting parlors. Total
revenues increased $1,824,140 due primarily to the revenue derived from full
card simulcasting. Operating expenses increased $1,208,330 due to increases in
purse expense, salaries, and other operating expenses. The purse expense
increased due to the increase in pari-mutuel commissions during the nine month
period as purse expense is based upon a percentage of commissions earned net of
taxes during live racing days. Wages and salaries increased by $183,557 as the
racetrack is open additional hours as a result of simulcasting. Other operating
expense increased by $543,706 due to increases in utilities, program printing,
and simulcasting expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The simulcasting equipment installation project was completed in May 1997 at a
cost of $595,875. The Company financed the project with a combination of
internal funds of $57,375 and $538,500 from a term note agreement with its
principal financial institution. The terms of the loan were agreed upon in July
1997 with a principal amount of $538,500 at an interest rate of 8.17% for three
years. Cash provided by operating activities was $246,136 for the nine months
ended July 31, 1997 as compared to cash provided by operations of $150,268 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1996. The increase of $95,868 in cash provided
by operating activities was primarily a result of increase in net income of
$403,571 and deferred income taxes of $213,000 offset by use of cash of
$401,033 from the simulcasting settlement account, which is used to settle
wagering performed at other betting facilities, offset by other changes in
operating assets and liabilities.

The racing season at Scioto Downs annually falls within the third quarter
ending in July. The majority of rental income from leasing the racing facility
to Mid-America Racing Association is earned during the fourth quarter of the
year ending in October.
