                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

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  owned   subsidiaries,   (collectively   the   "Company").   All
         significant   intercompany   transactions   and   balances   have  been
         eliminated.  Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to
         conform to current year presentation.

         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, 2000 and
         the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended
         June 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations  experienced  for the
         six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of
         the results to be  experienced  for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
         2000.

         The statements and related notes herein 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, 1999  annual  financial
         statements.

account,  which was refundable  if certain  conditions were not met. The Company
received approval for a gaming license from the Mississippi Gaming Commission on
April 20, 2000. On June 14, 2000 the Company entered into a financing commitment
letter  agreement  with  Lehman  Brothers  and CIBC World  Markets,  Corp.,  the

         In connection  with the  refinancing  described in Note 11, the Company
became a full  guarantor of  indebtedness  of the Joint Venture in the amount of
$11.5 million.

8.       Trackpower, Inc. and eBet Limited

     In July 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with  Trackpower,  Inc.
(OTC BB: TPWR) ("Trackpower") to serve as the exclusive pari-mutuel wagering hub
operator  for  Trackpower.   Trackpower, up  until  August  1,  2000,   provided
direct-to-home digital satellite transmissions of horse racing to its subscriber
base.  The initial  term of the  contract  is for five years with an  additional
five-year option available.  The Company pays Trackpower a commission on all new
revenues earned from their subscriber base. As an additional  incentive to enter
into the contract, the Company received warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of
common stock of Trackpower  at prices  ranging from $1.58 per share to $2.58 per
share.  The warrants vest at 20% per year and expire on April 30, 2004. The fair
market value of the warrants issued will be amortized over the vesting period of
one  year  from  the  anniversary  date of the  agreement.  As a  result  of the
transition of  operations in 1999,  the amount to be amortized as a reduction of
commissions earned in 2000 by Trackpower was not material.

     In March 2000, the Company  entered into a letter of intent with Trackpower
and eBet Limited ("eBet") which, if a definitive  agreement was executed,  would
have replaced and restated the above described agreement between the Company and
Trackpower.  On June 27, 2000,  the March 2000 letter of intent was  terminated.
The  Company  will  continue  to work  under  existing  license  agreements  and
contracts entered into with Trackpower prior to March 2000.

9.       Minority Interest Purchase

         On March 15, 2000,  the Company  purchased  from the BDC Group ("BDC"),
its joint venture  partner in West Virginia,  BDC's 11% interest in PNGI Charles
Town Gaming  Limited  Liability  Company,  which owns and operates  Charles Town
Races for $6.0 million in cash.  The  investment is recorded net of the minority
interest  tax  liability  of $155,000 or $5.845  million.  The Company is in the
process of  determining  the  allocation  of the  purchase  price to the various
property,  plant and equipment  accounts.  The  allocation  will be based on the
results of a recently  completed  appraisal on the property.  As a result of the
purchase, PNGI Charles Town Gaming Limited Liability Company is now a 100%-owned
subsidiary of the Company.

10.      Financing Agreement

     On June 14, 2000, the Company  entered into a financing  commitment  letter
with Lehman  Brothers,  Inc. and CIBC World  Markets,  Corp.  for a $350 million
credit  facility with bank and  institutional  lenders.  On August 8, 2000,  the
Company completed the credit agreement with Lehman Brothers, Inc. and CIBC World
Markets,  Corp.  as  co-arrangers,  among  others.  The  proceeds  of the credit
facility  were used to finance the $195  million  Mississippi  Acquisitions,  to
refinance the Company's  existing  debts with First Union National Bank and Bank
of America,  to purchase  the  outstanding  10 5/8% Senior Notes and for working
capital  purposes.  The credit  facility  provides  for a $75 million  revolving
credit  facility  maturing on August 8, 2005, a $75 million  Tranche A term loan
maturing on August 8, 2005 and a $200  million  Tranche B term loan  maturing on
August 8, 2006.

     At the Company's  option,  the revolving  credit facility and the Tranche A
term loan may bear  interest  at (1) the  highest  of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the
federal funds effective rate or the rate that the bank group announces from time
to time as its prime lending rate plus an  applicable  margin of up to 2.25% or,
(2) a rate tied to a eurodollar  rate plus an applicable  margin up to 3.25%. At
the  Company's  option,  the  Tranche B term loan may bear  interest  at (1) the
highest of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds  effective  rate or the rate
that the bank group  announces  from time to time as its prime lending rate plus
an  applicable  margin of up to 3.25% or, (2) a rate tied to a  eurodollar  rate
plus an applicable  margin up to 4.00%. The credit facility provides for certain
covenants,  including  those of a  financial  nature.  Substantially  all of the
Company's  assets are  pledged as  collateral  under the Credit  Agreement.  The
outstanding  amount  under this  credit  facility  as of August 8, 2000 was $312
million. A form 8-K will be filed with further information regarding this Credit
Facility.

     On June 29, 2000 the Company  commenced a cash tender offer to purchase all
of its outstanding $69 million 10 5/8% Senior Notes due 2004 (the "Notes") and a
related consent  solicitation  to eliminate  certain  restrictive  covenants and
related provisions in the indenture pursuant to which the notes were issued. The
total   consideration   payable   pursuant  to  the  tender  offer  and  consent
solicitation to holders who tender Notes (and thereby deliver consents) prior to
5:00pm,  New York City time,  on the  Consent  Date (as  defined  below) will be
calculated  using a fixed  spread of 75 basis  points over the bid side yield of
the reference  U.S.  Treasury  security on the second  business day  immediately
                                       20
<PAGE>

preceding the expiration date. The total consideration includes a consent fee of
$30 per Note. If a holder's  Notes are not properly  tendered prior to 5:00p.m.,
New York City time, on the Consent Date, the holder will not receive the consent
payment,  even though the Notes are subsequently tendered by the expiration date
of  the  tender  offer.  Under  the  terms  of  the  tender  offer  and  consent
solicitation, holders may not deliver consents without also tendering Notes. The
Consent  Date is the  later of July 17,  2000 or the date on which  the  Company
receives  consents  from  holders  of a  majority  in  principal  amount  of the
outstanding  Notes.  The tender offer was  scheduled to expire at 5:00p.m.,  New
York City time,  on August 1, 2000  unless  extended.  The tender  offer and the
consent  solicitation  are subject to the terms and  conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and the related Consent and
Letter of  Transmittal  that are being sent to all holders of Notes.  Subject to
the terms and  conditions  of the tender  offer and  consent  solicitation,  the
Company will make all payments promptly after the acceptance date.

         On July 18,  2000,  the Company  announced  that holders of more than a
majority of the  Company's  outstanding  Notes had tendered  Notes and delivered
consents in connection with the Company's tender offer and consent  solicitation
announced on June 29, 2000.  Accordingly,  the Company and the trustee under the
Indenture  relating to the Notes have  executed  and  delivered  a  supplemental
indenture containing the amendments described in the Company's Offer to Purchase
and Consent  Solicitation  Statement  dated as of June 29, 2000.  The amendments
will not  become  operative  unless  the  Notes are  accepted  for  purchase  in
accordance  with  the  terms  of the  tender  offer.  If the  amendments  become
operative, holders of all untendered Notes will be bound thereby.

         On July 28, 2000 the Company  announced  that it was  extending,  until
5:00pm on August 8, 2000, the expiration date of the Company's  tender offer for
its Notes,  as a result,  the pricing of the tender was extended until 2:00pm on
August 4, 2000. The tender offer had previously  been scheduled to expire August
1, 2000. The expiration was extended to accommodate the execution and funding of
a new credit  agreement  with a group of lenders as described  in the  Company's
Offer to Purchase and Consent  Solicitation  Statement  dated June 29, 2000 (the
"Statement"). The tender offer was completed on August 8, 2000.

11.       Subsequent Events

         On  July  31,  2000,  the  Company  announced  that it  entered  into a
definitive  agreement to acquire CRC Holdings,  Inc. ("CRC") which does business
as  Carnival  Resorts  and  Casinos  for $95.8  million  and the  assumption  of
approximately  $32  million  in net  debt  (the  "CRC  Acquisition").  CRC is an
experienced  operator of gaming facilities and the owner of approximately 59% of
Louisiana Casino Cruises, Inc. ("LCCI").  The Company also announced that it had
entered into a definitive  agreement with the minority owners of LCCI to acquire
their  approximately  41%  stake  for  $32.5  million.  Under  the  terms of the
agreement,  CRC  will  divest  all of its  non-gaming  related  assets  prior to
closing.  The  acquisitions  are  expected to be  accretive  to Penn  National's
results in the first year of  operations  after  closing.  In the twelve  months
ended  February  29,  2000 CRC's  gaming  business,  including  LCCI,  generated
approximately $30.6 million in EBITDA.
                                       21
<PAGE>

         LCCI owns and operates the Casino Rouge, a riverboat gaming facility on
the east bank of the  Mississippi  River in Baton Rouge,  Louisiana.  The Casino
Rouge features a four-story,  47,000 square foot riverboat casino  replicating a
19th century Mississippi River paddlewheel steamboat, a two-story, 58,000 square
foot dockside embarkation facility and parking for 1,650 cars. The riverboat has
a capacity of 1,800 patrons and emphasizes  spaciousness and excitement with its
generous  aisle space,  15-foot  ceilings,  a large central atrium and specially
designed  lighting.  The Casino Rouge offers  28,000 square feet of gaming space
spread  over three  decks  with 974  gaming  machines  and 42 table  games.  The
dockside  embarkation  facility offers a panoramic view of the Mississippi River
and a variety of amenities  including a 268-seat  buffet,  bar and lounge areas,
meeting and planning space and a gift shop. The Casino Rouge cruises eight times
a day.  Located on a 23-acre  site,  five acres of which are owned by LCCI,  the
Casino  Rouge  is  within  approximately  one  mile  of both  Interstate  10 and
Interstate  110.  For the year ended  November  30, 1999 the Casino  Rouge had a
61.9% share of the Baton Rouge gaming market casino revenues, as reported by the
Louisiana State Police, a regulatory body governing the market.

         CRC also has a  management  contract for Casino Rama which is in effect
until  2011.  Casino  Rama is located  approximately  80 miles north of Toronto,
Canada,  in Orillia,  Canada on the Chippewas of  Mnjikaning  First Nation land.
Casino  Rama,  with 75,000  square  feet of gaming  space,  features  2,300 slot
machines and 110 table games as well as a buffet, two restaurants,  a nightclub,
a retail  center and a 3,000 seat outdoor  theater.  The Casino Rama facility is
currently undergoing a U.S. $160 million expansion.

         Since  opening  in  1996,   Casino  Rama  has  built  its  revenues  to
approximately U.S. $354 million in 1999. Casino Rama's daily win per position at
U.S. $320 in 1999 ranks among the highest of casinos in the U.S. and Canada. The
transaction,  expected  to  close  in the  first  half of 2001,  is  subject  to
regulatory  and other  approvals in both  Louisiana and Canada,  financing,  the
expiration  of  the  applicable   Hart-Scott-Rodino  waiting  period  and  other
customary closing conditions.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The percentage of the Company's  revenue derived from gaming operations
has  increased  over the last few years as a result of the gaming  operations at
the Charles Town Entertainment Complex. The Company expects that the Mississippi
Acquisitions  and the  continued  expansion  of the Charles  Town  Entertainment
Complex will cause this trend to continue.  In the future the Company expects to
alter the presentation of certain of its financial information to better capture
this trend.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared To Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Revenues  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000  increased  by
approximately $17.0 million or 37.5% to $62.4 million from $45.4 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1999.  At Charles  Town,  the increase in revenues
($14.7  million) is  attributed  to the  operation of an average of 1,406 gaming
machines  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  2000  compared  to 915  gaming
machines for the three months  ended June 30, 1999.  Operating  expenses for the
three months  ended June 30, 2000  increased  by  approximately  11.3 million or
28.8% to $50.7  million  from $39.4  million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. Income from operations increased by $5.7 million or 94.7% to $11.7 million
for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 from $6.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 consisted of approximately $2.0 million and $1.8 million,  respectively, of
net interest  primarily due to the 10.625% Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit
Facility.  Taxes on income  increased  by $1.8  million to $3.4  million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $1.6  million for the three months ended
June 30,  1999.  Net income  increased  by $3.7  million to $6.2 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2000 from $2.5  million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.

Charles Town Entertainment Complex

         Revenues  increased at Charles Town by  approximately  $14.7 million or
72.8% to $34.9  million  in 2000 from  $20.2  million  in 1999.  Gaming  revenue
increased by $13.1  million or 95.2% to $26.9 million in 2000 from $13.8 million
in 1999 due to the addition of 565 new reel  spinning,  coin-out  slot  machines
since the second  quarter of last year.  The average  number of machines in play
increased  to 1,406 in 2000  from 915 in 1999 and the  average  win per  machine
increased  to $211 in 2000 from $164 in 1999.  Racing  revenue  increased by $.5
million or 9.7% to $5.2 million in 2000 from $4.7 million in 1999. The live meet
consisted of 60 race days in 2000 and 1999 and a change in the  schedule  from a
Wednesday  afternoon  race  program  to  a  Thursday  evening  race  program  to
accommodate  export  simulcasting.  Charles Town began  exporting  its live race
program  to tracks  across  the  country  on June 5, 1999 and  generated  export
simulcasting  revenues  of  $566,000  for  2000  compared  to  $61,000  in 1999.
Concession and other revenues  increased by approximately  $1.1 million or 69.2%
                                       24
<PAGE>

to $2.8 million in 2000 from $1.7  million in 1999 due to  increased  attendance
for gaming and racing and the expansion of the concession areas, dining room and
buffet  area.  Operating  expenses  increased by $9.7 million or 61.1 % to $25.5
million in 2000 from $15.8 million in 1999.  The increase was due to an increase
in direct costs  associated with additional  wagering on horse racing and gaming
machine  play,  the addition of gaming  machines and floor space (new  temporary
facility for gaming machines), export simulcast expenses and expanded concession
and  dining   capability  and  capacity.   Earnings  before   interest,   taxes,
depreciation  and amortization  (EBITDA)  increased by $5.0 million or 115.4% to
$9.4 million in 2000 from $4.4 million in 1999.

Penn National Race Course and OTW Facilities  (Penn National Race Course)

         Penn National  Race Course had an increase in revenue of  approximately
$1.8 million or 12.2% to $16.7 million in 2000 from $14.9  million in 1999.  The
increase in revenues is attributed to Penn National Race Course  running 51 live
race days in 2000 compared to 32 live race days in 1999 resulting in an increase
in live racing commissions and export simulcasting  revenue.  Expenses increased
by  approximately  $1.5  million  or 12.1% to $14.0  million  in 2000 from $12.5
million in 1999.

million in 2000 from $10.5 million in 1999.  Revenue  decreased at Allentown and
Hazleton due to loss of Penn National Race Course  customers  wagering at Pocono
Downs sites during the 1999 strike.  Expenses  increased  by  approximately  $.1
million or 1.3% to $8.0 million in 2000 from $7.9 million in 1999.

for the period  ended June 30, 2000  include  $15.1  million in  revenue,  $11.6
million in operating expenses and net income of $1.7 million.  The Company's 50%

affiliates" on the income statement.

Capital Expenditures

         The Company had capital  expenditures  of $5.2 million in 2000 compared
to $1.1 million in 1999. Capital expenditures at Charles Town were approximately
$3.7  million for the indoor  paddock  project that will be the new gaming floor
space for 500 machines  ($1.6  million),  174 new reel  spinning,  coin-out slot
machines ($1.3 million),  and equipment  replacement and upgrades ($.8 million).
Capital  expenditures  at Penn National and its OTW facilities ($.2 million) and
Pocono Downs and its OTW  facilities  ($.1  million)  were for normal  equipment
replacement and leasehold improvements. Pocono Downs has also spent $1.2 million
on the construction of its new OTW facility in East  Stroudsburg,  Pennsylvania.
The new OTW opened July 31, 2000.  As a result,  depreciation  and  amortization
increased $.1 million or 2.9% to $2.2 million in 2000 from $2.1 million in 1999.

Charles Town Entertainment Complex

         Revenues  increased at Charles Town by  approximately  $27.1 million or
74.0% to $63.6  million  in 2000 from  $36.5  million  in 1999.  Gaming  revenue
increased by $23.9  million or 94.6% to $49.1 million in 2000 from $25.2 million
in 1999 due to the addition of 136 new video  lottery  machines and 565 new reel
spinning,  coin-out slot machines since January of last year. The average number
of machines in play  increased to 1,435 in 2000 from 876 in 1999 and the average
win per  machine  increased  to $190 in 2000 from $157 in 1999.  Racing  revenue
increased  by $1.0 million or 12.1% to $9.6 million in 2000 from $8.6 million in
1999.  The live meet  consisted of 105 race days in 2000 and compared to 99 race
days in 1999  and a change  in the  schedule  from a  Wednesday  afternoon  race
program  to a  Thursday  evening  race  program  in 2000 to  accommodate  export
simulcasting.  Charles  Town  began  exporting  its live race  program to tracks
across the country on June 5, 1999 and generated export simulcasting revenues of
$1,031,000  for 2000 compared to $61,000 in 1999.  Concession and other revenues
increased  by  approximately  $2.2 million or 78.3% to $5.0 million in 2000 from
$2.8 million in 1999 due to increased  attendance  for gaming and racing and the
expansion  of the  concession  areas,  dining  room and buffet  area.  Operating
expenses  increased  by $18.1  million  or 61.2 % to $47.4  million in 2000 from
$29.3  million in 1999.  The  increase  was due to an increase  in direct  costs
associated with additional wagering on horse racing and gaming machine play, the
addition of gaming  machines and floor space (new temporary  facility for gaming
machines),   export  simulcast  expenses  and  expanded  concession  and  dining
capability and capacity.  Earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and
amortization  (EBITDA)  increased by $8.9 million or 123.1% to $16.2  million in
2000 from $7.3 million in 1999.

Penn National Race Course and OTW Facilities  (Penn National Race Course)

         Penn National  Race Course had an increase in revenue of  approximately
$9.7 million or 41.4% to $33.0 million in 2000 from $23.3  million in 1999.  The
increase in revenues is attributed to Penn National Race Course  running 99 live
race days in 2000 compared to 50 live race days in 1999 resulting in an increase
in live racing commissions and export simulcasting  revenue.  Penn National only
ran 50 live race days in 1999 due to the  Horsemen  action in the first  quarter
that resulted in the closure of all of the facilities  from February 16 to March
24, 1999.  Expenses  increased by  approximately  $6.7 million or 32.2% to $27.5
million in 2000 from $20.8 million in 1999.

Pocono Downs and OTW Facilities (Pocono Downs)

         Revenues  at Pocono  Downs  decreased  by $.3  million or 1.7% to $18.3
million in 2000 from $18.6 million in 1999.  Revenue  decreased at Allentown and
Hazleton due to loss of Penn National Race Course  customers  wagering at Pocono
Downs sites during the 1999 horsemen action. Expenses increased by approximately
$.6 million or 4.3% to $14.4 million in 2000 from $13.8 million in 1999.

New Jersey Joint Venture

         Summarized  results of operations of the  unconsolidated  Joint Venture
for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 were $29.8  million in  revenue,  $23.5
million in operating expenses and net income of $2.8 million.  The Company's 50%
share of net income or $1.4 million is recorded as "Earnings from unconsolidated
affiliates" on the income statement.

Capital Expenditures

         The Company had capital  expenditures  of $7.3 million in 2000 compared
to $2.6 million in 1999. Capital expenditures at Charles Town were approximately
$5.1  million for the indoor  paddock  project that will be the new gaming floor
space for 500 machines  ($1.7  million),  174 new reel  spinning,  coin-out slot
machines ($1.3 million) and equipment  replacement  and upgrades ($2.3 million).
Capital  expenditures  at Penn National and its OTW facilities ($.3 million) and
Pocono Downs and its OTW  facilities  ($.2  million)  were for normal  equipment
replacement and leasehold improvements. Pocono Downs has also spent $1.5 million
on the construction of its new OTW facility in East  Stroudsburg,  Pennsylvania.
The new OTW opened July 31, 2000.  As a result,  depreciation  and  amortization
increased $.2 million or 5.4% to $4.4 million in 2000 from $4.1 million in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically,  the Company's  primary  sources of liquidity and capital
resources  have  been  cash  flow from  operations,  borrowings  from  banks and
proceeds from issuance of equity securities.

         Net cash provided from  operating  activities was $12.0 million for the
period ended June 30, 2000.  This consisted of net income and non-cash  expenses
($13.8  million),  a decrease  in prepaid  income  taxes ($1.1  million)  and an
increase in corporate  income tax liability ($2.6 million) due to an increase in
taxable  income,  a decrease in accounts  payable  and accrued  expenses  due to
completion  of  construction  for the  temporary  facility at Charles Town ($4.2
million),  an increase in prepaid expenses for the Mississippi  acquisition ($.8
million) and other expenses ($.4  million),  and other changes in certain assets
and liabilities ($.1 million).

         Cash flows used in investing  activities  for the period ended June 30,
2000 ($13.0  million)  consisted of the Company's  buyout of the 11% interest in
Charles  Town  that was  owned by other  investors  ($5.9  million),  machinery,
equipment  and  improvements  at  Charles  Town  ($2.3  million),  174 new  reel
spinning, coin-out slot machines at Charles Town ($1.3 million), construction of
the new gaming area at Charles Town ($1.6  million),  equipment  replacement and
building  improvements  at Penn  National  ($.3  million)  and Pocono Downs ($.2
million) facilities, and construction of the East Stroudsburg OTW facility ($1.5
million).

         Cash flows provided by financing activities ($5.3 million) consisted of
borrowings  under the credit  facility ($4.8 million) for Charles Town expansion
and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants ($.6 million). This
was offset by an increase in  financing  costs ($.1  million)  for  amending the
credit facility.
                                       28

         The  Company  is  subject  to  possible  liabilities  arising  from the
environmental condition at the Landfill adjacent to Pocono Downs.  Specifically,
the Company may incur  expenses in  connection  with the Landfill in the future,
which  expenses  may not be  reimbursed  by the four  municipalities,  which are
parties to the  Settlement  Agreement.  The  Company is unable to  estimate  the
amount, if any, that it may be required to expend.

         In fiscal year 2000,  the Company  anticipates  spending  approximately
$21.5 million on capital  expenditures at its racetrack and OTW facilities.  The
Company  anticipates  expending  approximately $18.2 million at the Charles Town
Entertainment  Complex for player tracking ($.7 million),  new slot machines and
conversion kits ($2.1 million),  paddock casino and interior  renovations  ($7.4
million),  machinery and equipment  ($2.0 million) and other projects  including
construction  of a structured  parking  facility,  design and planning for a new
hotel ($6.0 million).  The Company also plans to spend approximately $261,000 at
Pocono Downs,  $550,000 at Penn  National,  $400,000 at the OTW  facilities  for
building  improvements  and equipment and $2.0 million on building  improvements
and equipment for its new OTW facility in East  Stroudsburg,  Pennsylvania.  The
Company  spent  approximately  $7.3 million on these  projects  through June 30,
2000.

         The  Company  entered  into its  Credit  Facility  with  Bankers  Trust
Company,  as Agent in 1996.  This Credit  Facility  was amended and  restated on
January 29, 1999 with First Union National Bank replacing Bankers Trust Company,
as Agent. The Credit Facility, as amended,  provides for a $20 million revolving
Credit Facility,  including a $3 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit
and a $5 million term loan. Under the terms of the Credit Facility,  as amended,
the Company  borrowed an additional  $11.5 million which was used to finance its
share of the New Jersey Joint Venture (see Note 4). The outstanding amount under
this Credit  Facility as of June 30, 2000 was $12.9  million at an interest rate
of 9.16%. The credit facility was repaid on August 8, 2000.

         On December 13, 1999,  the Company  entered into a $20.0 million Senior
Secured  Multiple  Draw Term Loan with Bank of  America,  as an Agent for a bank
group.  The term loan was  payable in  quarterly  installments  of $1.3  million
principle  plus  interest.   The  loan  was  secured  by  gaming  equipment  and
improvements at the Charles Town  Entertainment  Complex.  Part of the term loan
was used to repay the $5.0 million First Union term loan and the balance will be
used  to  finance  gaming   equipment  and  improvements  at  the  Charles  Town
Entertainment  Complex.  The outstanding amount under this credit facility as of
June 30,  2000 was $ 13.9  million  at an  interest  rate of 9.15%.  The  credit
facility was repaid on August 8, 2000.

     On June 14, 2000, the Company  entered into a financing  commitment  letter
with Lehman  Brothers,  Inc. and CIBC World  Markets,  Corp.  for a $350 million
credit  facility with bank and  institutional  lenders.  On August 8, 2000,  the
Company completed the credit agreement with Lehman Brothers, Inc. and CIBC World
Markets Corp. as co-arrangers  among others. The proceeds of the credit facility
were used to finance the $195 million Mississippi acquisition,  to refinance the
Company's existing debts with First Union National Bank and Bank of America,  to
purchase the outstanding 10 5/8% Senior Notes and for working capital  purposes.
The  credit  facility  provides  for a $75  million  revolving  credit  facility
maturing on August 8, 2005, a $75 million Tranche A term loan maturing on August
8, 2005 and a $200 million Tranche B term loan maturing on August 8, 2006.
                                       29
<PAGE>

     At the Company's  option,  the revolving  credit facility and the Tranche A
term loan may bear the interest at (1) the highest of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the
federal funds effective rate or the rate that the bank group announces from time
to time as its prime lending rate plus an  applicable  margin of up to 2.25% or,
(2) a rate tied to a eurodollar  rate plus an applicable  margin up to 3.25%. At
the Company's  option,  the Tranche B term loan may bear the interest at (1) the
highest of 1/2 of 1% in excess of the federal funds  effective  rate or the rate
that the bank group  announces  from time to time as its prime lending rate plus
an applicable  margin of up to 3.25%,  or, (2) a rate tied to a eurodollar  rate
plus an applicable  margin up to 4.00%. The credit facility provides for certain
covenants,  including  those of a  financial  nature.  Substantially  all of the
Company's  assets are  pledged as  collateral  under the Credit  agreement.  The
outstanding  amount  under this  credit  facility  as of August 8, 2000 was $312
million. A form 8-K will be filed with further information regarding this Credit
Facility.

         The Company currently estimates that the cash generated from operations
and available  borrowings under the new credit  facilities will be sufficient to
finance its current operations and planned capital expenditure requirements, not
including  the CRC  Acquisition.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the
Company  will not be required to seek  additional  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.

Item 3.  Changes in Information about Market Risk

         Most of the Company's debt obligations at June 30, 2000 were fixed rate
obligations,  and management,  therefore,  does not believe that the Company has
any material risk from its debt obligations.
