SCIOTO DOWNS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
(UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         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 1999 Form 10-K for additional disclosures, including a
         summary of the Company's accounting policies.

         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 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 July 31, 2000 presentation.

2.       INCOME TAXES

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

3.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         At July 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999, the Company had an outstanding
         receivable from its former concessionaire of $127,864. The Company is
         in dispute with the former concessionaire and has fully reserved the
         receivable as of July 31, 2000 and October 31, 1999. Under the
         agreement with the former concessionaire, the Company is obligated to
         purchase certain equipment and licenses if it terminates the agreement.

     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 2000 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 2000, the
               Company continued to service the debt on the clubhouse and the
               simulcasting equipment with funds generated during the 2000
               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 JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
               ENDED JULY 31, 1999

               Income from racing operations was $902,298, which was a decrease
               of $78,957 or 8.0%. The decrease resulted from a decrease in
               operating revenue of $242,357, offset by a decline in operating
               expenses of $163,400.

               Operating revenues decreased primarily due to an overall decline
               in commissions, breakage, admissions, and concessions of
               $377,466, an increase of $87,662 from sires stakes entry fees and
               an increase of $13,093 from the simulcasting export signal
               revenue, which is an increase in the number of racetracks
               receiving Scioto Downs' signal and paying commissions for doing
               so.

               Operating expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of purse
               expense of $369,790, offset by an increase in salaries and wages
               of $60,114, resulting from an increase in overall wages.

               The Company recorded income tax expense of $132,426 and $140,000
               for the three months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
               The expense has been recorded at the anticipated effective tax
               rates for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

               NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
               JULY 31, 1999

               Net loss from racing operations was $203,225, which was an
               increase of $24,022 or 13.4%. The increase resulted from a
               decrease in operating revenues of $242,318 and a decline in
               operating expenses of $218,296.

               Operating revenues declined due to a decrease in admissions,
               concessions, and rental income of $264,721. Net pari-mutuel
               commissions and breakage decreased by $115,509.

               Operating expenses decreased primarily due to a decline in purse
               expense of $369,790 and an increase in salaries and wages of
               $47,797 due to an increase in administrative staffing. Other
               operating and general expenses increased $216,082 due mainly to
               increases in the use of outside consultants in the implementation
               of new Year 2000 compliant software, accounting fees and other
               miscellaneous expense items. Simulcasting fees paid by the
               Company decreased by $1,197. Interest expense decreased $11,944
               due to the refinancing of the clubhouse and simulcasting
               equipment note completed in April 1999.

               The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $47,058 and $50,000
               for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
               The benefit has been recorded at the anticipated effective tax
               rates for fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively.

               LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

               Cash provided by operating activities was $384,370 for the nine
               months ended July 31, 2000 as compared to cash provided by
               operations of $420,515 for the nine months ended July 31, 1999.
               The decrease of $36,145 in cash provided by operating activities
               was a result of an increase in loss from racing operations of
               $24,476.
