1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited
and include the accounts of Penn National Gaming, Inc., ("Penn") and its wholly
and majority owned subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company"). All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1997 and the results of its
operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results
of operations experienced for the six month period ending June 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1997.
The financial statements and related notes have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
accompanying notes should therefore be read in conjunction with the Company's
December 31, 1996 annual financial statements.

3. Commitments
At June 30, 1997, the Company was contingently obligated under
letters of credit with face amounts aggregating $1,803,700. The $1,803,700
consisted of $1,703,700 relating to the horsemen's account balances and $100,000
for Pennsylvania pari-mutuel taxes.
On June 20, 1997, the Company acquired options to purchase
approximately 100 acres of land in Memphis, Tennessee for an aggregate purchase
price of $2.7 million. The Company paid $11,000 to acquire the options and has
the right to extend the options from month to month until June 20, 1998 upon the
payment of $11,000 per month. The Company is preparing an application to the
Tennessee State Racing Commission for the proposed development of a harness race
track and off-track wagering facility at the site.
On June 25, 1997, the Company entered into a five-year technology
agreement with GTECH Corporation for the installation and operation of the VLT
system at the Charles Town facility. The agreement provides for annual payments
equal to the facility's net win multiplied by a percentage which decreases as
the net win per day per machine at the facility increases.

4. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information
Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 for
interest was $2,051,000 and $30,000, respectively.
Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 for
income taxes was $629,000 and $1,616,000, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reclassified
approximately $1.9 million of prepaid acquisition costs to excess of cost over
fair market value of net assets acquired.
5. Common Stock
In February 1997, the Company completed a secondary public
offering of 1,725,000 shares of its common stock. The net proceeds of $23
million were used to repay $19 million of term loans outstanding under the $75
million credit facility and to finance a portion of the cost of the
refurbishment of the Charles Town Races facility. In connection with such debt
repayment, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $383,000 after taxes,
consisting primarily of the write-off of deferred finance costs.
6. Acquisitions
On January 15, 1997, an 89% - owned Company subsidiary acquired
substantially all of the assets of Charles Town Races for approximately $16
million plus acquisition-related fees and expenses of approximately $1.9
million.
On March 26, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to
purchase property for its proposed Carbondale, Pennsylvania OTW facility. The
agreement provides for a purchase price of $200,000 and is subject to numerous
contingencies, including approval by the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing
Commission. On June 5, 1997, the Company's application was approved by the
Racing Commission, the Company expects to have the facility constructed and
operational in the fourth quarter of 1997.

Mall in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The initial term of the lease is for ten years
with two additional five-year renewal options available. The agreement is
subject to numerous contingencies, including approval by the Pennsylvania State
Harness Racing Commission. On July 10, 1997, the Company submitted its
application for such approval. If approved by the Racing Commission, the Company
expects to have the facility constructed and operational in the fourth quarter
of 1997.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to three months ended June 30, 1996
Total revenue increased by approximately $13.5 million or 84.4%
from $16.1 million to $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs, which was
acquired in the fourth quarter of 1996, accounted for $10.1 million of the
increase. Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January of 1997 and began
racing operations on April 30, 1997, accounted for $2.9 million of the increase.
In addition, revenues at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities
increased by $547,000. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $2.5
million in revenues at the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and
Williamsport, offset by a decrease of $2.0 million at the thoroughbred track in
Grantville and the other OTW facilities. Management believes that the decrease
in revenues at the Penn National OTW facilities was primarily due to the opening
of a competitor's OTW facility and the opening of the Company's Lancaster OTW
facility.
Total operating expenses increased by approximately $12.3 million
or 93.2% from $13.2 million to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs and
Charles Town Races accounted for $8.3 million and $3.0 million of this increase,
respectively. Penn National Race Course and its OTW facility operations
accounted for $1.0 million of the total operating expense increase. This
increase was primarily due to $1.9 million in operating expenses for the
Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport offset by a decrease
in purses, pari-mutuel taxes, simulcast expenses, and direct salaries, payroll
taxes, and employees benefits at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the
other OTW facilities due to decreased revenues.
Income from operations increased by approximately $1.3 million or
45.2% from $2.8 million to $4.1 million due to the factors described above.
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 consisted of
approximately $775,000 in interest expense (primarily due to the financing of
the Pocono Downs acquisition) compared to $24,000 in interest expense for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.
Income tax expense increased from $1.2 million to $1.4 million due
to the increase in income for the period.
Net income increased by approximately $300,000 or 16.7% from $1.7
million to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1996 based on the factors described above.
(15)
<PAGE>
Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996
Total revenue increased by approximately $21.8 million or 71.2%
from $30.6 million to $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs, which was acquired
in the fourth quarter of 1996, accounted for $17.3 million of the increase.
Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January of 1997 and began racing
operations on April 30, 1997, accounted for $2.9 million of the increase. In
addition, revenues at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilties increased
by $1.6 million. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $4.7 million
in revenues at the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport,
offset by a decrease of $3.1 million at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and
the other OTW facilities. Management believes that the decrease at the Penn
National OTW facilities was primarily due to the opening of a competitor's OTW
facility and the opening of the Company's Lancaster OTW facility.
Total operating expenses increased by approximately $18.9 million
or 73.4% from $25.7 million to $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs and Charles
Town Races accounted for $13.8 million and $3.0 million of this increase
respectively. Penn National Race Course and its OTW facility operations
accounted for $2.1 million of the total operating expense increase. This
increase was primarily due to $3.4 million in operating expenses for the
Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport offset by a decrease
in purses, pari-mutuel taxes, simulcast expenses, and direct salaries, payroll
taxes, and employees benefits at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the
other OTW facilities due to decreased revenues.
Income from operations increased by approximately $2.9 million or
59.9% from $4.9 million to $7.8 million due to the factors described above.
Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 consisted of approximately
$1.7 million in interest expense (primarily due to the financing of the Pocono
Downs acquisition) compared to $38,000 in interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.
Income tax expense increased from $2.0 million to $2.6 million due
to the increase in income for the period.
The extraordinary item consisted of a loss on the early
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $383,000 net of income taxes. This
resulted from the Company's receiving approximately $23 million as proceeds from
the February 1997 equity offering and using approximately $19 million to reduce
long-term debt.
(16)

Net income increased by approximately $351,000 or 11.8% from $3.0
million to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 1996 based on the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity and
capital resources have been cash flow from operations and borrowings from banks.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cash position decreased
by approximately $800,000 due primarily to the renovation project at Charles
Town Races.
Net cash provided from operating activities totaled approximately
$10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net income and non-cash
expenses provided $5.6 million and $1.3 million came from the repayment of the
Charles Town Races loan receivable in January 1997. The balance of $3.1 million
was generated by other changes in working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately
$31.6 million. Acquisition costs for the purchase of Charles Town Races totaled
$16.0 million and construction in progress and equipment for the Charles Town
facility totaled approximately $13.0 million. Capital expenditures for the
completion of the Williamsport OTW facility was $700,000. The balance of $1.9
million represents other necessary ongoing capital expenditures.
Cash flows from financing activities totaled approximately $20.9
million of which was generated from the secondary equity offering in February
1997 and the exercise of options that resulted in the issuance of 1,756 shares
of common stock. The Company also received $16.5 million in proceeds from
long-term debt to use as payment for the Charles Town acquisition on January 15,
1997. The Company used $19.0 million of the proceeds from the offering to repay
a portion of its bank debt. The remaining amount of the proceeds of
approximately $4.0 million was used for the refurbishment of the Charles Town
facility.
During the balance of 1997, the Company anticipates capital
expenditures of approximately $4.0 million, exclusive of the cost of
refurbishing the Charles Town Facility (described below), to construct two
additional OTW facilities and approximately $500,000 for other capital
expenditures and improvements to existing facilities for Penn National Race
Course and Pocono Downs. Under the Company Credit Facility, the Company is
permitted to make capital expenditures (not including the refurbishment of the
Charles Town Facility or the cost of gaming machines to be installed there) of
$12.0 million in 1997, $4.0 million in 1998 and $2.0 million in 1999 and in each
year thereafter. The Company anticipates expending approximately $18.5 million
on the refurbishment of the Charles Town Facility (excluding the cost of gaming
machines), of
(17)
<PAGE>
which $13.0 million had already been expended through June 30, 1997. On July 15,
1997, the Company borrowed an additional $3.5 million under the Company Credit
Facility for Charles Town refurbishment costs.
The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds of the
equity offering, together with the cash generated from operations and borrowings
under its Credit Facility, will be sufficient to finance its current operations
and planned capital expenditure requirements. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will not be required to seek capital, in addition to
that available from the foregoing sources. The Company may, from time to time,
seek additional funding through public or private financing, including equity
financing. There can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available as
needed or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. If additional funds
are raised by issuing equity securities, existing shareholders may experience
dilution.

<PAGE>
rate of 8% per annum, in which event this Agreement shall become null and void
and of no further force or effect.

to the public or comes into the public domain otherwise than in circumstances

possession of any such components to others.

rule or regulation, or by court order; provided, however, that:
A. Prior to any such disclosure, the party shall provide
to the owner of the Confidential Information a written opinion of the
party's legal counsel supporting its conclusion that such disclosure is

disclosure or with any action taken by the party owning the Confidential
Information (entirely the cost of such owning party) to challenge the validity
of such requirement; and

determined necessary in the written opinion of the party~s outside counsel,
