NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 AND 1998
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial 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 report on Form 10-K. Reference should be made to
         the Company's 1998 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, 1999 presentation.

2.       NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

         The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standard No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, during the quarter
         ended January 31, 1999. There was no effect on the financial statements
         of adopting this standard as of and for the three months and six months
         ended April 30, 1999.

3.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the
         statutory rate due to the application of surtax exemptions. The Company
         recognizes the tax benefit of losses incurred in interim periods
         outside the racing season, in anticipation of third and fourth quarter
         income. The Company recognizes allowances against deferred tax assets
         when it is more likely than not the assets will not be realized.

4.       DEBT REFINANCING

         In April 1999, the Company refinanced and consolidated its term debt on
         the clubhouse enclosure and simulcasting equipment with a financial
         institution. The revised term loan agreement calls for a
         fourteen-and-one-half-year amortization of the principal of $3,103,000
         at a fixed rate of 7.79%. Principal and interest is payable monthly in
         the amount of $30,026. The term loan is collateralized by a first
         mortgage on the Company's real property facilities, as well as other
         personal property, and an assignment of the rents from the Company'
         lease arrangements.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONT.

         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 1999 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 uses this period
                  to perform routine repairs and maintenance and facility
                  improvements. During the first and second quarters of 1999,
                  the Company continued to service the debt on the Clubhouse and
                  the simulcasting equipment with funds generated during the
                  1998 racing season.

                  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 MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
                  ENDED APRIL 30, 1998

                  The net loss from operations before income tax benefit was
                  $678,093 which increased $16,348 from the three months ended
                  April 30, 1998. Salaries and wages increased $12,481, or
                  10.4%, due mainly to two additional employees and general
                  salary increases ranging from 3% to 7%. Other operating and
                  general expenses increased $44,335 due mainly to increased
                  repairs and maintenance on the grounds and buildings of
                  $6,206, increased utilities of $20,472, and increases in other
                  supplies of $14,689. Interest expense decreased $29,669 due to
                  lower principal amounts outstanding and refinancing and
                  consolidation of the Company's term debt at a lower interest
                  rate during the three months ended April 30, 1999. The
                  interest rate decreased from 8.15% and 8.17% to 7.79% in April
                  1999. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $101,000
                  for the three months ended April 30, 1999 as the Company
                  projects it will record net income for the year ended October
                  31, 1999. A benefit of $196,000 was recorded for the three
                  months ended April 30, 1998.

                  SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS
                  ENDED APRIL 30, 1998

                  The net loss from operations before income tax benefit was
                  $1,269,091 which increased $28,180 from the six months ended
                  April 30, 1998. The increase is due mainly to increases in
                  salaries and wages of $26,732 and other operating and general
                  expenses of $57,442. Salaries and wages increased due mainly
                  to two additional employees and general salary increases
                  ranging from 3% to 7%. Other operating and general expense
                  increased due mainly to increased repairs and maintenance on
                  the grounds and buildings of $34,075 and increased utilities
                  of $5,321. Interest expense decreased $33,039 due to lower
                  principal amounts outstanding and refinancing and
                  consolidation of the Company's term debt at a lower interest
                  rate. The interest rate decreased from 8.15% and 8.17% to
                  7.79% in April 1999. The Company recorded an income tax
                  benefit of $190,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1999 as
                  the Company projects it will record net income for the year
                  ended October 31, 1999. A benefit of $367,000 was recorded for
                  the six months ended April 30, 1998.

                  YEAR 2000

                  The Year 2000 problem exists because many computer programs
                  use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Accordingly,
                  such computer programs do not distinguish a year that begins
                  with "20" from a year that begins with "19". If not corrected,
                  these computer programs could fail or create erroneous
                  results.

                  The Company is in the process of developing and implementing a
                  plan for the identification and remediation of Year 2000
                  issues that could affect its business. The identification and
                  remediation plan has five categories: (1) mission critical
                  software, (2) other software, (3) information technology
                  hardware, (4) non-information technology systems, and (5)
                  third party related issues.

                  Mission Critical Software: The Company has identified five
                  mission critical software systems: horseman purse systems,
                  stock transfer systems, general ledger, bank services, and
                  accounts payable systems. In the first quarter of fiscal year
                  1999, the Company purchased the Accpac for Windows Corporate
                  Series Accounting System. The Accpac Corporate Series, which
                  includes the general ledger, bank services, and accounts
                  payable systems, is represented as Year 2000 compliant. The
                  horseman purse and stock transfer systems have been updated
                  and AccLink, Ltd., has represented these systems are Year 2000
                  compliant. As of May 1, 1999, the Accpac System has been
                  installed and is fully functional. The initial training for
                  the system has been completed. Cross training among the
                  accounting staff will be completed during the third quarter of
                  fiscal year 1999.

                  Other Software: The Company maintains and periodically updates
                  all other software utilized by it, such as word processing and
                  spreadsheet management. Along with the purchase of the Accpac
                  software, Year 2000 compliant word processing and spreadsheet
                  software was purchased in the first quarter of fiscal year
                  1999. Installation of Year 2000 compliant software has been
                  completed and is now operational.

                  Information Technology Hardware: The Company purchased from
                  ADC Information Technology Services, a Gateway ALR 7200 NT
                  network fileserver in December 1998. Five Pentium II--266
                  Windows personal computers were also purchased in December
                  1998. Installation is now complete and the staff is fully
                  trained on its use. Cross training among the staff is
                  currently under way. The NT 4.0 Network System is represented
                  as being Year 2000 compliant.

                  Non-Information Technology Systems: The Company has begun an
                  inventory of all non-information technology systems that may
                  have a material impact on the Company's ability to conduct
                  business in a usual manner. The General Manager of the Company
                  was informed of the need of this requirement, as was the Board
                  of Directors. The Company is performing internal testing and
                  is gathering third party representations as to the system's
                  Year 2000 compliance. This process and required corrections
                  are to be completed by October 31, 1999.

                  Third Party Related Issues: The Company has identified those
                  vendors whose services have a material impact on the Company's
                  ability to conduct normal business operations. The Company's
                  largest and most necessary vendor, American Totalisator, has
                  been contacted and has responded that its systems are Year
                  2000 compliant. Other vendors' compliance certifications have
                  been received as well. The Company will continue to request
                  for confirmation from other major vendors.

                  Costs to Address the Year 2000 Issue: The Company has
                  committed to spend approximately $65,000 on its Year 2000
                  compliance through fiscal year 1999. The Company does not
                  anticipate spending additional amounts after 1999 but will
                  make necessary expenditures as required.
