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.

       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. 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 reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the
       financial statements to conform to the April 30, 1997 presentation.



2.     LOSS PER SHARE:

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


3.     INCOME TAXES:

       No tax benefit has been recorded as it is not expected to be realized by
       the Company.



4.     SHORT-TERM FINANCING AGREEMENT:

       During February 1997, the Company obtained a note agreement for a maximum
       borrowing of $700,000 to finance the installation of simulcasting
       equipment. Interest is calculated at the prime rate (8.5% at April 30,
       1997) and is due monthly. The outstanding principal balance and any
       unpaid interest is due on July 1, 1997. The note is collateralized by all
       equipment, machinery, and furniture and fixtures identified in the terms
       of the note agreement. As of April 30, 1997, the outstanding principal
       balance was $538,500.


5.     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
       Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 date presented after the effective date.

       The Company will adopt FAS 128 effective with its 1998 year end. The
       adoption of FAS 128 on the Company's earnings per share will have no
       impact.


                                                                               6

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
SCIOTO DOWNS, INC.

   THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD
                              ENDED APRIL 30, 1996

The net loss from operations before tax benefit was $467,682 which decreased
$118,261 from the three months ended April 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily
due to the additional revenue derived from the Beulah Park agreement for sharing
simulcasting revenue of $162,310. Total operating revenues increased by $135,774
over the three month period ended April 30, 1996, primarily due to the revenue
derived from the Beulah Park agreement. Total operating expenses increased
$13,857 due to increases in salaries of $14,143 and depreciation of $19,466
offset by a decrease of $19,752 in other operating and general expenses.
Interest expense increased by $3,656 due to new borrowings on the simulcasting
equipment construction line.

     SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
                              ENDED APRIL 30, 1996

The net loss from operations before tax benefit was $1,005,577 which decreased
$113,683 from the six months ended April 30, 1996. The decrease is attributable
to the Beulah Park agreement for sharing simulcasting revenue of $229,428. Total
operating revenues increased by $201,808 due to the revenue derived from the
Beulah Park agreement in 1997. Total operating expenses increased $81,556 due
primarily to increases in salaries of $11,359, depreciation of $26,136 and other
operating and general expenses of $44,061. Interest expense increased by $6,569
due to new borrowings on the simulcasting equipment construction line.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The simulcasting equipment installation project was completed on May 1, 1997 at
a total cost of $595,875. The Company financed the project with a combination of
internal funds of $57,375 and $538,500 from a short-term financing agreement
with its principal financial institution. The terms of the loan are similar to a
line of credit agreement, with the available credit line set at $700,000 and an
interest rate set at the prime rate. The Company intends to convert the
short-term obligation into long-term debt in the third quarter of 1997. Cash
provided by operating activities was $150,939 for the six months ended April 30,
1997 as compared to a use of cash of $775,002 for the six months ended April 30,
1996. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily a
result of $459,400 in funds received from the simulcasting purse fund, $384,174
for changes in the timing of disbursements for accounts payable and noncash
deferred income tax decreases of $347,000, offset by an increase in the net loss
of $233,317 and changes in other operating activities of $31,316.


                                                                               7
