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 1997 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.

   Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the
   financial statements to conform to the April 30, 1998 presentation.

2. LOSS PER SHARE:

   Net loss per share for both basic and diluted is derived by dividing net loss
   by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

3. INCOME TAXES:

   The Company has recorded a deferred income tax benefit at the anticipated
   effective tax rate for fiscal year 1998.


                                                                               6

ITEM 2. 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 1998 and
future periods may differ significantly from the prospects discussed in the
forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the Company experiences net
operating losses during the first two quarters of the fiscal year. In addition,
the Company used this same time to perform routine repairs and maintenance and
facility improvements. During the first and second quarters of 1998, the Company
continued to service the debt on the Clubhouse and the recently purchased
simulcasting equipment via internal funds, which affects the liquidity and cash
flow of the Company.

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

             THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
                     THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

The net loss from operations before income tax benefit was $661,745 which
increased $194,063 from the three months ended April 30, 1997. Simulcasting
revenues decreased by $101,099. The decrease is due primarily to a change in the
agreement with Beulah Park. Under the new agreement, Beulah Park pays reduced
shared revenues to Scioto Downs during the three months ended April 30, 1998.
Scioto Downs, however, will no longer pay amounts to Beulah Park during its
racing season because of the modified agreement. Other operating and general
expense increased by $82,347 due mainly to an increase in professional services
of approximately $61,000. Net interest expense increased by $22,261 which is due
to the simulcasting equipment financing. The Company recorded an income tax
benefit of $196,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1998 as the Company
projects it will record net income for the year ended October 31, 1998. The
benefit has been recorded at the anticipated effective tax rate for the fiscal
year 1998. No income tax benefit was recorded for the three months ended April
30, 1997 as the Company had historically experienced net losses. 

              SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE
                      SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

The net loss from operations before income tax benefit was $1,240,911 which
increased $235,334 from the six months ended April 30, 1997. Simulcasting
revenue decreased by $153,572. The decrease is due primarily to a change in the
agreement with Beulah Park. Under the new agreement, Beulah Park pays reduced
shared revenues to Scioto Downs during the six months ended April 30,


                                                                               7

1998. Scioto Downs, however, will no longer pay amounts to Beulah Park during
its racing season because of the modified agreement. Other operating and general
expense increased by $58,784 due mainly to an increase in professional services
of approximately $82,000, which was offset by a decrease in repairs and
maintenance expense of approximately $22,000. Net interest expense increased by
$27,730 which is due to the simulcasting equipment financing. The Company
recorded an income tax benefit of $367,000 for the six months ended April 30,
1998 as the Company projects it will record net income for the year ended
October 31, 1998. The benefit has been recorded at the anticipated effective tax
rate for fiscal year 1998. No income tax benefit was recorded for the six months
ended April 30, 1997 as the Company had historically experienced net losses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Scioto Downs, Inc.

     We have made a review of the accompanying balance sheets of Scioto Downs,
Inc. as of April 30, 1998 and 1997, the related statements of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods then ended, and the related statements of cash
flows for the six-month periods then ended. These unaudited financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
