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 2000 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. INCOME TAXES The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to the application of surtax exemptions. 3.

OTHER INFORMATION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 2001, the Company continued to service the debt on the Clubhouse and the simulcasting equipment with funds generated during the 2000 racing season and the 2001 simulcasting 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, Inc. is earned during the fourth quarter of the year, ending in October. Beginning January 1, 2001, the Company commenced year-round simulcasting. In addition, the Company terminated its simulcasting agreement with Beulah Park in September 2000. Thus, no revenue will be earned related to this agreement. THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2000 Year-round simulcasting resulted in an increase in pari-mutuel commissions and breakage, pari-mutuel taxes, purses and simulcasting. Purse expense represents payments into the simulcast purse fund. Other operating revenues include program sales, rental income and part-mutual tax abatement. Salaries and wages increased by $185,627 to $325,690 for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from $140,063 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The increase was due primarily to additional staffing needed for year-round simulcasting. Operating and general expense increased by $555,680 due mainly to increases in utilities, real estate and personal property taxes, and repairs and maintenance, as well as in advertising and tote rental due to year-round simulcasting. Operating and general expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2001 also includes a reserve of approximately $228,000 for estimated uncollectible amounts due from Mid-America Racing Association, Inc. pursuant to its lease with the Company. The income tax benefit decreased to $85,000 from $101,484 for the three months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, as a result of the decrease in net loss before taxes. The Company provides for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate. -6- 9 SCIOTO DOWNS, INC.
