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.

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 ended January
         31, 1999.

3.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the
         statutory rate due to the application of surtax exemptions.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONT.

        ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  This Management's 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 quarter 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 JANUARY 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
                  ENDED JANUARY 31, 1998

                  Salaries and wages increased by $14,251 to $134,038 for the
                  three months ended January 31, 1999 from $119,787 for the
                  three months ended January 31, 1998. The increase was due
                  primarily to the addition of an office employee and annual
                  increases for all employees. Operating expense increased by
                  $13,107 due mainly to increases in utilities and professional
                  fees, offset by a decrease in publicity expense.

                  The income tax benefit decreased to $89,000 from $171,000 for
                  the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998,
                  respectively, as a result of the reduction in the effective
                  tax rate to 15% from 29.5% based upon the anticipated income
                  for the year ending October 31, 1999.

                  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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                  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 has
                  represented it is Year 2000 compliant. The installation of the
                  Accpac software was begun in January 1999. The training for
                  Accpac also started in January 1999 and will continue through
                  April 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 this software also started in January
                  1999, with training on the software to be completed before May
                  1999, the first day of racing.

                  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 currently
                  being trained on its use. 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 will be 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.
