PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The 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
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 March 31, 2001 and the results of its
operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. The
results of operations experienced for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

The 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, 2000 annual
financial statements.

2. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and Statement
No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an
amendment of FASB 133," are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000 - fiscal year 2001 for the Company. The Company has conducted evaluations
of hedging policies and strategies for existing and anticipated future
derivative transactions. Adoption of these statements as of January 1, 2001 did
not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements other than
recognition of derivative assets and liabilities on the balance sheet with
market value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income.

3. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 for
interest was $5,604,000 and $422,000 respectively.

Cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 for
income taxes was $21,000 and $29,800 respectively.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has determined that it
currently operates in the two segments: (1) gaming and (2) racing.


9
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described
in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for the year ended December
31, 2000. The Company and the gaming industry use EBITDA as a means to evaluate
performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more
meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States) as a measure of operating
results or cash flows (as determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States) or as a measure of the Company's
limitations.

The table below presents information about reported segments:

simulcasting.

5. SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On March 12, 2001, the Company completed an offering of $200,000,000
of its 11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. Interest on the notes is
payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning September 1, 2001.
These notes will mature on March 1, 2008.

The Company may redeem all or part of the notes on or after March 1,
2005 at certain specified redemption prices. Prior to March 1, 2004, the
Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes from proceeds of certain sales of
its equity securities. The notes also are subject to redemption requirements
imposed by state and local gaming laws and regulations.

10
The notes are general unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a
senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's current and future wholly
owned domestic subsidiaries. The notes rank equally with the Company's future
senior subordinated debt and junior to its senior debt, including debt under
the Company's senior credit facility. In addition, the notes will be
effectively junior to any indebtedness of our non-U.S. or unrestricted
subsidiaries, none of which guarantee the notes.

The Company and the subsidiary guarantors have agreed to file a
registration statement or, under certain circumstances, a shelf registration
statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating
to an offer to exchange the notes and guarantees for publicly tradable notes
and guarantees having substantially identical terms. The notes are designated
for trading in the Private Offering, Resales and Trading Automatic Linkages
(PORTAL) Market.

The proceeds from these notes were used to finance the CRC acquisition
that was completed on April 27, 2001.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

CRC ACQUISITION

On April 27, 2001, the Company completed its previously announced
acquisitions of (i) CRC Holdings, Inc. ("CRC") from the shareholders of CRC
and (ii) the minority interest in Louisiana Casino Cruises, Inc.("LCCI") not
owned by CRC from Dan S. Meadows, Thomas L. Meehan and Jerry L. Bayles
(together, the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was accomplished pursuant to
the terms of Agreement and Plan of Merger among CRC Holdings, Inc., Penn
National Gaming, Inc., Casino Holdings, Inc. and certain shareholders of CRC
Holdings, Inc., dated as of July 31, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), and a
Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Penn National Gaming, Inc., Dan S.
Meadows, Thomas L. Meehan and Jerry L. Bayles, dated as of July 31, 2000.
Under the Merger Agreement, CRC merged with Casino Holdings, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). The terms of each of
the agreements were the result of arm's length negotiations among the
parties. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the Acquisition
was approximately $160 million, including the repayment of existing debt at
CRC or its subsidiaries. The purchase price of the Acquisition was funded by
the proceeds of the Company's offering of senior subordinated notes, which
was completed in March 2001.

The assets acquired pursuant to the Merger and Acquisition consist
primarily of the Casino Rouge riverboat gaming facility in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and a management contract for Casino Rama, a gaming facility located
in Orillia, Canada.

LCCI NOTES TENDER OFFER

On February 20, 2001, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to
purchase all of the LCCI 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2005 (the "LCCI Notes")
and a related consent solicitation to eliminate certain restrictive covenants
and related provisions in the indenture pursuant to which the LCCI Notes were
issued. The tender offer was completed on April 27, 2001 in conjunction with the
completion of the Acquisition. The total consideration for each $1,000 principal
amount of notes tendered was $1,146.90, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to
but not including, the payment date, which includes a consent payment of $30 per
$1,000 principal amount of notes. Payment for the notes and consent payments
were made on April 30, 2001.


11
ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

We derive substantially all of our revenues from gaming and pari-mutuel
operations. Revenues from our gaming machines at the Charles Town Entertainment
Complex and Mississippi properties have accounted for an increasingly larger
share of our total revenues. Our pari-mutuel revenues have been derived from
wagering on our live races, wagering on import simulcasts at our racetracks and
OTWs and through telephone account wagering, and fees from wagering on export
simulcasting our races at out-of-state locations. Our other revenues have been
derived from admissions, program sales, food and beverage sales, concessions and
certain other ancillary activities.

On a prospective basis, our acquisition of the Mississippi properties
and the consummation of the CRC acquisition on April 27, 2001 will impact
further our revenue mix between gaming and pari-mutuel revenues. We expect that
in future periods gaming revenue as a percentage of our total revenues will
continue to increase as we continue to focus on our gaming operations. For the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, gaming revenue represented
approximately 53% and 76% of our total revenue, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations by property level for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized below:

12
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased 101.5% to
$106.2 million from $52.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
EBITDA rose 125.6% to $22.6 million from $10.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. Income before taxes in 2001 was $7.8 million compared to
$5.8 million in 2000.

CHARLES TOWN ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX

Revenues increased at Charles Town by approximately $12.9 million or
45.9% to $41.1 million in 2001 from $28.2 million in 2000. Gaming revenue
increased by $12.5 million, or 56.2%, to $34.9 million in 2001 from $22.3
million in 2000, primarily due to additional machines and higher win per machine
in 2001. The average number of machines in play increased to 1,640 in 2001 from
1,449 in 2000; the average win per machine increased to $234 in 2001 from $170
in 2000, primarily as a result of a higher percentage of reel spinning, coin-out
gaming machines in 2001, which tend to yield average wins higher then video
lottery machines. Racing revenue increased by $.1 million, or 2.1% to $4.8
million in 2001 from $4.7 million in 2000. The live meet consisted of 44 race
days in 2001 compared to 45 race days in 2000. Operating expenses increased by
$8.6 million, or 40.3%, to $30.1 million in 2001 from $21.5 million in 2000. The
increase was due to an increase in direct costs associated with the addition of
gaming machines and floor space (specifically, the opening of the OK Corral slot
center), and expanded concession and dining capability and capacity (the opening
of the Sundance Cafe). EBITDA attributable to Charles Town increased by $4.3
million, or 63.9%, to $11.0 million in 2001 from $6.7 million in 2000.

MISSISSIPPI CASINOS

The Casino Magic Bay St Louis and Boomtown Biloxi acquisitions were
completed on August 8, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, these
two casinos had combined revenues of $40.1 million, and EBITDA of $8.7 million.

PENN NATIONAL RACE COURSE AND ITS OTW FACILITIES

Penn National Race Course had a decrease in revenue of approximately
$1.0 million, or 6.1%, to $15.3 million in 2001 from $16.3 million in 2000.
Pari-mutuel wagering was $104.1 million in 2001 compared to $103.4 million in
2000. The increase in wagering is attributed to Penn National Race Course
running 50 live race days in 2001 compared to 48 live races days in 2000 offset
by slightly lower wagering levels per race day. The decrease in revenue is
attributed to a change in the percent of wagering between full card, common
pool, and live racing. Operating expenses decreased by approximately $.5
million, or 3.9%, to $13.0 million in 2001 from $13.5 million in 2000. EBITDA
attributable to these properties decreased by $.5 million, or 16.7%, to $2.3
million in 2001 from $2.8 million in 2000.

POCONO DOWNS AND ITS OTW FACILITIES

Revenues at Pocono Downs increased by $.7 million, or 8.9%, to $8.7
million in 2001 from $8.0 million in 2000. Pari-mutuel wagering was $38.8
million in 2001 compared to $34.8 million in 2000. Expenses increased by
approximately $.7 million, or 10.7%, to $7.1 million in 2001 from $6.4 million
in 2000. In 2001, the Company had additional revenue and expenses


13
from the operation of the East Stroudsburg OTW (opened July 2000) and the
running of its live meet (8 race days) in March. In 2000, the live meet did not
occur until April. EBITDA was approximately $1.6 million in each of 2001 and
2000.

NEW JERSEY JOINT VENTURE

The Company has an investment in Pennwood Racing, Inc., which
operates Freehold Raceway and Garden State Park. Revenues of the joint
venture increased by $.1 million to $15.2 million in 2001 from $15.1 million
in 2000. Net income increased by $1.0 million to $2.2 million in 2001
compared to $1.2 million in 2000 primarily due to the decrease in expenses
associated with running no live race days in 2001 compared to eight live race
days in 2000 at Garden State Park. Our 50% share of net income was $1.1
million in 2001 compared to $.6 million in 2000 and was recorded as other
income on the income statement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.5 million for the
period ended March 31, 2001. This consisted of net income and non-cash items
($12.1 million), an increase in deferred income taxes ($1.0 million), and a
decrease in current assets ($.1 million) and current liabilities ($2.5 million)
related to the normal course of business.

Cash flows from investing totaled $198.3 million for the period
ended March 31, 2001. Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment totaled
$4.0 million and included new hotel planning and design at Casino Magic ($0.4
million), new gaming equipment at Casino Magic (0.7 million) new gaming
equipment and slot system at Boomtown ($0.4 million), land and building
acquisitions at Charles Town ($0.4 million), the OK Corral slot center at
Charles Town ($.5 million), other small projects ($0.1 million) and
maintenance capital expenditures ($2.0 million). Proceeds from the issuance
of $200.0 million, in 11 1/8% senior subordinated notes ($194.3 million),
were placed in escrow until the closing of the CRC acquisition on April 27,
2001.

Cash flows from financing activities provided net cash flow of $193.5
million for the period ended March 31, 2001. Aggregate proceeds from the
issuance of notes were $200.0 million, a portion of which were used to pay
financing costs associated with the issuance ($6.2 million). Principal payments
on long-term debt under our existing credit facility, net of additional
borrowings on the revolving line of credit, were $0.3 million.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

On March 12, 2001, we completed through a private placement, the
sale of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of 11 1/8% of Senior
Subordinated Notes due March 1, 2008 the proceeds of the notes were used, in
part, to complete the acquisition of CRC Holding, Inc. and the minority
interest in Louisiana Casino Cruises, Inc. (LCCI) not owned by CRC. The
Senior Subordinated Notes rank equally with our other senior indebtedness and
junior to our senior debt, including debt under our senior secured credit
facility. The Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed by all of our current
and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. It is anticipated that we
subsequently will file a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 to effect an exchange offer of registered Senior Subordinated Notes.

OUTLOOK

Based on our current level of operations, and anticipated revenue
growth, we believe that cash generated from operations and amounts available
under our credit facility will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service
requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the foreseeable
future. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations, that our anticipated revenue growth will
be realized, or that future borrowings will be available under our credit
facility or otherwise will be available to enable us to service our
indebtedness, including the credit facility and the notes, to retire or redeem
the notes when required or to make anticipated capital expenditures. In
addition, if we consummate significant acquisitions in the future, our cash
requirements may increase significantly. We may need to refinance all or a
portion of our debt on or before maturity. Our future operating performance and
our ability to service or refinance our debt will be subject to future economic
conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are
beyond our control.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

On December 20, 2000, we entered into an interest rate swap
agreement with a financial institution in the notional amount of $100 million.
The interest rate swap agreement hedges our exposure on our outstanding floating
rate obligations, which were $308,875,000 at March 31, 2001. The purpose of the
interest rate swap is to convert a portion of our floating rate interest
obligations to obligations having a fixed rate of 5.835% plus an applicable
margin up to 4.00% per annum through December 20, 2003. The fixing of interest
rates reduces in part our exposure to the uncertainty of floating interest
rates. The differentials paid or received by us on the interest rate swap
agreement is recognized as adjustments to interest expense in the period
incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we reduced interest expense
by approximately $124,000 as a result of the interest rate swap agreement. We
are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by our counter party
to the interest rate swap agreement. We do not anticipate nonperformance by such
financial institution, and no material loss would be expected from the
nonperformance by such financial institution. Our interest rate swap agreement
expires in December 2003.
