NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


       1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

       The information furnished reflects all adjustments that 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' (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 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements
       but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
       accounting principles.


       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.

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

January 31, 1997 compared to October 31, 1996


Because of the seasonal nature of the business, the Company experiences net
operating losses during the first two quarters of the fiscal year. Additionally,
the Company uses the off-season to perform repairs and maintenance, as well as
facility improvements. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company continued
to service the debt on the Clubhouse via internal funds, which affects the
liquidity and cash flow of the Company. Additionally, the cash flow has been
positively affected in the first quarter due to the arrangement with Beulah
Park, whereby the Company receives a percentage of the commissions generated at
Beulah Park.

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.


THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,
1996

The loss before income tax benefit increased by approximately $4,600. This
minimal change is due mainly to an offset of income received through an
agreement with Beulah Park to share revenues derived from full card simulcasting
of approximately $67,000 by additional operating and interest expense of
approximately $67,000 and $3,000, respectively. The increase in other operating
and general expense is attributable to an increase of approximately $7,000 in
depreciation expense, $19,000 in publicity and advertising expense, $28,000 in
legal and accounting expense, and $13,000 in other general and operating
expenses. Interest expense increased due to a rate of 8.15% compared to a rate
of 6.875% in the preceding same period as a result of the refinancing of the
debt.

                                                                               6
