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. 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, 1999 and the results of its
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The
results of operations experienced for the six month period ended June 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999.

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, 1998
annual financial
statements.

3. Commitments

The Company submitted an application to the Tennessee State Racing
Commission (the "Tennessee Commission") in October 1997 for an initial license
for the development and operation of a harness track and Off-Track Wagering
Facilities ("OTW") at a site in the city of Memphis (the "Tennessee Development
Project"). A land use plan for the construction of a 5/8-mile harness track,
clubhouse and grandstand area was approved in October 1997 by the Land Use
Hearing Board for the City of Memphis and County of Shelby. Tennessee Downs,
Inc. ("Tennessee Downs") was determined to be financially suitable by the
Tennessee Commission and a public comment hearing before the Tennessee
Commission was held in November 1997. In December 1997, the Company received the
necessary zoning and land development approvals from the Memphis City Council.
In April 1998, the Tennessee Commission granted a license to the Company, which
would expire on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2000 or (ii) the expiration of
Tennessee Commission's term on June 30, 1998, if such term was not extended by
the Tennessee State Legislature. The Tennessee State Legislature voted against
extending the life of the Tennessee Commission, allowing the Tennessee
Commission's term to expire on June 30, 1998. The Tennessee Commission held a
meeting on May 29, 1998 at which it rejected the Company's request: (i) to grant
the Company an extended timeframe for the effectiveness of its racing license;
(ii) to operate a temporary simulcast facility. On July 28, 1998, the Company
filed for a preliminary injunction and a declaratory ruling on the legal status
of racing in Memphis. On November 23, 1998, the court ruled that the Tennessee
Racing Control Act had not been repealed and cannot be repealed by implication
by dissolving the Tennessee Commission. It is the opinion of the court that
because the Tennessee Racing Control Act is still in force, horse-racing and
pari-mutuel betting is a legal unregulated activity in Tennessee. This opinion
has been appealed by the Tennessee Attorney General and a hearing was held
before the Court of Appeals on June 21, 1999. On July 30, 1999, the Court of
Appeals in Tennessee dissolved the injunction. The court reversed the lower
court ruling on the basis of jurisdiction. Tennessee Downs intends to take a
direct appeal to the Supreme Court of the State of Tennessee so that it may
continue its efforts to develop and operate a harness track in Tennessee. Costs
incurred as of June 30, 1999 regarding the Tennessee license amounted to
$534,135 and are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

On July 14, 1998, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an OTW
facility in East Stroudsburg. The lease is for approximately 14,000 square feet
at the Eagle's Glen Shopping Plaza located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.
The initial term of the lease is for ten years with two additional five-year
renewal options available. On November 6, 1998, the Company submitted its
application for approval by the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission. The
Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission approved the application on February 23,
1999. The Company was denied building and zoning permits by the zoning office of
the Borough of East Stroudsburg and filed suit on November 13, 1998 to obtain
the permits. On May 17, 1999, the Court of Common Pleas of Monroe County granted
a peremptory judgment in favor of the Company that directed the Borough of East
Stroudsburg and its zoning officer to issue the required building and zoning
permits to construct the OTW facility. The Company expects to start construction
on the $2 million facility in August 1999 with a projected opening date in the
first quarter of 2000.

On March 23, 1999, the Company entered into a new four-year, nine-month
purse agreement with the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protection Association, which
represents the horsemen at the Company's Penn National Race Course facility in
Grantville, Pennsylvania. The agreement ended a strike by the horsemen which
began on February 16, and caused the Company to close Penn National Race Course
and its six affiliated OTWs. The initial term of the agreement ends on January
1, 2004 and automatically renews for another two year period, without change,
unless notice is given by either party at least ninety days prior to the end of
the initial term.

On April 9, 1999, the State of West Virginia passed legislation
approving the use of coin-out and reel spinning slot machines at the four
racetracks in West Virginia. The Company plans to convert certain machines at
Charles Town to coin-out as well as replace a number of lesser-performing
machines with reel spinning models. On April 27, 1999, the Company placed an
additional thirty-six (36) machines in operation for a total machine base of
935. During the remainder of 1999, the Company plans to add, subject to
regulatory approval, 565 more machines to bring the total machine base to 1,500.

On May 10, 1999, the Company commenced a consent solicitation (the
"Consent Solicitation") from the holders of its 10.625% Senior Notes due 2004,
Series B (the Notes) to amend the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes were
issued to permit the Company to make certain investments in a joint venture with
Greenwood New Jersey, Inc., that will operate Freehold Raceway in Freehold, New
Jersey and Garden State Track in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (the "Joint Venture").
The Consent Solicitation originally expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
May 19, 1999 but was extended by the Company until July 30, 1999, by which time
holders of more than a majority of the Company's had delivered consents. The
Company and the Trustee under the Indenture relating to the Notes have executed
and delivered a Supplemental Indenture containing the amendments described in

6.       Year 2000 Compliance

The "Year 2000 issue" is typically the result of software and hardware
being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
If the Company's software and hardware with date-sensitive functions are not
Year 2000 compliant, these systems may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including, among other things,
interruptions in pari-mutuel wagering or the inability to operate the Company's
video lottery machines.

The Company, has been and is currently conducting a review of all
systems and contacting all software suppliers to determine major areas of
exposure to Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that, with minor
modifications and testing of its systems, the Year 2000 issue will not pose a
significant operations problem. The Company is using its internal resources to
reprogram or replace and test its software for Year 2000 modifications. If the
Company is unable to make the required modifications to existing software or
convert to new software in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations.

The Company has initiated formal communication with significant
suppliers and third party vendors to determine the extent to which the Company's
operations are vulnerable to those third parties failure to remediate their own
Year 2000 hardware and software issues. All of these parties state that they
intend to be Year 2000 compliant by 2000. In the event that any of the Company's
significant suppliers are unable to become Year 2000 compliant, the Company's
business or operations could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance
that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will be
compliant by the year 2000 and would not have an adverse effect on operations.

The Company does not expect the total cost associated with required
modifications to become Year 2000 compliant to be material to its financial
position.

The Company has not yet fully developed a comprehensive contingency
plan addressing situations that may result if the Company is unable to achieve
Year 2000 readiness of its critical operations. Contingency plan development is
in process and the Company expects to finalize its plan during the remainder of
1999. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop a
contingency plan that will adequately address issues that may arise in the year
2000.

7. Subsequent Events

On July 9, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with American
Digital Communications, Inc. ("TrackPower") to serve as the exclusive
pari-mutuel wagering hub operator for TrackPower. TrackPower provides
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 agreement is subject to approval by the Pennsylvania
Horse Racing Commission. In connection with the agreement 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.

On July 29, 1999, after receiving the necessary approvals from the New
Jersey Racing Commission and the consent from the holders of its 10.625% Senior
Notes due 2004, Series B, the Company completed its investment in the 50%/50%
Joint Venture, Pennwood, Inc., with Greenwood New Jersey, Inc., (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Greenwood Racing, Inc. the owner of Philadelphia Park Race Track).
18
Pursuant to the  Joint  Venture  Agreement,  the  Company  agreed  to guarantee
severally: (i) up to 50% of the obligations of the Joint Venture under its Put
Option Agreement ($17.5 million) with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage
Capital LLC ("CSFB"); (ii) up to 50% of the Joint Venture obligation for the
seven year lease at Garden State Park; (iii) up to 50% to International
Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. for the contingent purchase price notes ($10.0
million) relating to the operating, if passed by the New Jersey legislature, by
the Joint Venture of OTW's and a telephone wagering accounts in New Jersey. In
conjunction with the closing, the Company entered into a Debt Service
Maintenance Agreement with Commerce Bank, N.A. for the funding of a $23.0
million credit facility to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture Agreement
provides for a limited obligation of the Company of $11.5 million subject to
limitations provided for in the Company's 10.625% Senior Notes Indenture. A Form
8-K will be filed regarding this event.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to three months ended June 30, 1998

Total revenue increased by approximately $5.3 million or 13.3% from
$40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $45.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. Revenues decreased by $1.6 million or 9.9% at
Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities due to the strike by The
Horsemen's Benevolent Protective Association (Horsemen) that resulted in the
closure of the facilities from February 16 to March 24, 1999. Penn National Race
Course re-opened for live racing on a limited basis on April 23 and resumed a
full live racing schedule the week of June 26, 1999. For the second quarter,
Penn National Race Course ran 32 live race days in 1999 compared to 52 live race
days in 1998. Charles Town Races had increased revenues of $6.5 million or 47.5%
for the quarter. Video lottery machine revenue increased by $4.6 million due to
an increase in the average number of machines in play of 700 in 1998 compared to
915 in 1999 and an increase in the average win per machine of $141 in 1998
compared to $164 in 1999. Racing revenue increased by $1.3 million due to the
improved quality of the live race card, a stronger full-card simulcast program,
and the start of export simulcasting the Charles Town live race program to
tracks across the country beginning on June 5, 1999. Concession revenues
increased by $.6 million due to the increased attendance at the Charles Town
facility. At Pocono Downs and its OTW facilities revenues increased by $121,000
or 1.2%.

Total operating expenses increased by approximately $5.1 million or 14.8%
from $34.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $39.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. Expenses decreased by $.4 million or 3.4%
at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities due to the Horsemen's strike
that resulted in 20 fewer live race days for the second quarter in 1999 compared
to the second quarter in 1998. Charles Town Races had increased expenses of $5.2
million or 45.2% due to an increase in direct costs associated with additional
wagering on horse racing and video lottery machine play, an increase in the
number of video lottery machines and export simulcast expenses. Pocono Downs and
its OTW facilities had a $.1 million net decrease in expenses. Corporate
expenses increased by approximately $.5 million due to the consolidation of the
marketing and information technology departments at the corporate level and the
development of an OTW facility management department. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased by $.7 million due to the purchase of the video
lottery machines from GTECH in November 1998.

Income from operations increased by approximately $200,000 or 3.4% from
$5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $6.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 due to the factors described above.

Net income increased by approximately $73,000 or 2.9% from $2,467,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $2,540,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 due to the factors described above. Income tax expense
increased by approximately $206,000 or 14.4% from $1,435,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 to $1,641,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 due to the increase in income for the quarter.

19
Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to six months ended June 30, 1998

Total revenue increased by approximately $4.8 million or 6.5% from
$73.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $78.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. Revenues decreased by $8.8 million or 27.4% at
Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities due to the Horsemen's strike
that resulted in the closure of the facilities from February 16 to March 24,
1999. Penn National Race Course re-opened for live racing on a limited basis on
April 23 and resumed a full live racing schedule the week of June 26, 1999. For
the six-month period, Penn National Race Course ran 50 live race days in 1999
compared to 102 live race days in 1998. Charles Town Races had increased
revenues of $11.9 million or 48.2% for the period. Video lottery machine revenue
increased by $8.8 million due to an increase in the average number of machines
in play of 632 in 1998 to 876 in 1999 and an increase in the average win per
machine of $141 in 1998 compared to $157 in 1999. Racing revenue increased by
$2.1 million due to the improved quality of the live race card, a stronger
full-card simulcast program, and the start of export simulcasting the Charles
Town live race program to tracks across the country beginning June 5, 1999.
Concession revenues increased by $1.0 million due to the increased attendance at
the Charles Town facility. At Pocono Downs and its OTW facilities revenues
increased by $1.1 million or 6.3%. The increase resulted from a full period of
operations for the Carbondale ($1.0 million) and Hazleton OTW's ($ .7 million)
that offset the decrease in revenues at the Pocono Downs racetrack ($.6 million)
due to the close proximity of these three facilities.

Total operating expenses increased by approximately $6.4 million or
10.0% from $63.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $70.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Expenses decreased by $4.4 million or
17.4% at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities due to the closing of
the facilities from February 16 to March 24, 1999 and the loss of 52 live races
in 1999 compared to 1998. Included in the operating expenses were $1.3 million
in shutdown related expenses. Charles Town Races had increased expenses of $9.4
million or 43.2% due to an increase in direct costs associated with additional
wagering on horse racing and video lottery machine play, additional video
lottery machines and export simulcast expenses. Pocono Downs and its OTW
facilities had a $.5 million net increase in expenses due to a full period of
operations at the Carbondale and Hazleton OTW facilities that was offset by a
decrease in expenses at the Pocono Downs racetrack. Corporate expenses increased
by approximately $1.0 million due to the consolidation of the marketing and
information technology departments at the corporate level and the development of
an OTW facility management department. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $1.3 million due to the purchase of the video lottery machines from
GTECH in November 1998.

Income from operations decreased by approximately $1.7 million or 17.7%
from $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $7.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 due to the factors described above

Net income decreased by approximately $1.1 million or 30.3% from $3.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 due to the factors described above. Income tax
expense decreased by approximately $.5 million or 25.3% from $2.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999 due to the decrease in income for the period.





20
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 the issuance of equity securities.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
1999 ($9.2 million) consisted of net income and non-cash expenses ($7.3
million), an increase in purses due Horsemen ($2.6 million), an increase in
accounts payable ($.4 million) and an increase in other working capital ($1
million), offset by an increase in account receivables ($2.2 million). The
increase in accounts receivable was due to an increase in the amount due from
the West Virginia Lottery for VLT revenues and administration fee refund
($707,000), tourism grants receivable ($142,000), escrow settlement ($400,000)
other receivable at Charles Town ($251,000), and increased settlement
receivables for Pocono Downs and Charles Town ($700,000) due to live racing and
export simulcasting.

Cash flows used in investing activities ($13.8 million) consisted of a
note receivable ($11.2 million) from FR Park Racing, LP, a New Jersey limited
partnership and a part of the New Jersey Joint Venture agreement and $2.6
million in capital expenditures.

Cash flows provided by financing activities ($8.1 million) consisted of
principal payments on long-term debt ($3.3 million), borrowings under the credit
facility ($11.5 million) for the New Jersey Joint Venture and debt repayment,
proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants ($.4 million) and an
increase in financing costs ($.5 million) for amending the credit facility.

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 the first quarter of 1999, the Company incurred approximately $1.3
million in expenses associated with the actions by the Horsemen on February 16,
1999 that resulted in the closing of Penn National Race Course and its six OTW
facilities in Reading, Chambersburg, York, Lancaster, Williamsport and
Johnstown, from February 16, 1999 through March 24, 1999.
21
During  the  remainder  of  1999  the  Company   anticipates   spending
approximately $22.0 million on capital expenditures at its racetracks and OTW
facilities. The Company plans to spend approximately $1.0 million at Pocono
Downs, Penn National Race Course and the OTW facilities for building
improvements and equipment. The Company will also spend approximately $2.0
million on leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and equipment for the
new OTW facility in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania that is scheduled to open in
the first quarter of 2000. At Charles Town, the Company has applied to the West
Virginia Lottery Commission for approval to increase the number of gaming
machines to 1,500. If approved, the Company plans to spend approximately $19.0
million on an outdoor paddock and jockey room ($1.0 million), renovations for a
new slot machine area ($4.3 million), new gaming machines ($5.7 million,
conversion of existing machines to coin drop ($2.5 million), player tracking
($1.1 million), a new central system for the West Virginia Lottery Commission
($1.4 million) and other improvements ($2.5 million). If the State of Tennessee
reinstates the Tennessee Commission and the Company's racing license or if the
racing industry is regulated under another government agency, the Company
anticipates expending an additional $9.0 million to complete the first phase of
its Tennessee Development Project.

The Company entered into its Credit Facility with Bankers Trust Company, as
Agent in 1996. This Credit Facility was amended and restated on January 28, 1999
with First Union National Bank replacing Bankers Trust Company, as Agent. The
amended Credit Facility provides for, subject to certain terms and conditions, a
$20.0 million revolving credit facility, a $5.0 million term loan due in one
year, a $3.0 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and has a four-year
term for its closing. The Credit Facility, under certain circumstances, requires
the Company to make mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions and to
comply with certain covenants, including financial ratios and maintenance tests.
In addition, the Company may make optional prepayments and commitment reductions
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit
Facility is secured by the assets of the Company and contains certain financial
ratios and maintenance tests. On June 30, 1999, the Company was in compliance
with all applicable ratios. On July 22, 1999 the Company entered into Amendment
No. 1 to the Credit Facility which increased the sublimit for the standby letter
of credit from $3.0 million to $3.5 million.

On July 29, 1999 the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit
Facility which provided for the consent of the Banks, which are a party to the
Credit Facility, to permit the Company to enter into a Debt Service Maintenance
Agreement for the benefit of Commerce Bank, N.A. The Debt Service Maintenance
Agreement supports the extension of credit to the Joint Venture by Commerce
Bank, N.A. In addition , the Company entered into a Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement with FR Park Racing, L.P. and Commerce Bank, N.A.

The Company currently estimates that the cash generated from operations
and available borrowings under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance
its current operations, planned capital expenditure requirements, and the costs
associated with first phase of the Tennessee Development Project. 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

All of the Company's debt obligations at June 30, 1999 were fixed rate
obligations, and management, therefore, does not believe that the Company has
any material risk from its debt obligations.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In December 1997, Amtote international, Inc. ("Amtote"), filed an action
against the Company and the Charles Town Joint Venture in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. In its complaint,
Amtote (i) states that the Company and the Charles Town Joint Venture allegedly
breached certain contracts with Amtote and its affiliates when it entered into a
wagering services contract with a third party (the "Third Party Wagering
Services Contract"), and not with Amtote, effective January 1, 1998, (ii) sought
preliminary and injunctive relief through a temporary restraining order seeking
to prevent Charles Town Joint Venture from (a) entering into a wagering services
contract with a party other than Amtote and (b) having a third party provide
such wagering services, (iii) seeks declaratory relief that through September
2004 and (iv) seeks unspecified compensatory damages, legal fees and costs
associated with the action and other legal and equitable relief as the Court
deems just and appropriate. On December 24, 1997, a temporary restraining order
was issued, which prescribes performance under the Third Party Wagering
Contract. On January 14, 1998, a hearing was held to rule on whether a
preliminary injunction should be issued or whether the temporary restraining
order should be lifted. On February 20, 1998, the temporary restraining order
was lifted by the court. The Company is pursuing legal remedies in order to
terminate Amtote and proceed under the Third Party Wagering Services Contract.
This matter was tried before the State Court of West Virginia on June 17, 1999
and a decision is still pending. The Company believes that its action, and any
resolution thereof, will not have any material adverse impact upon its financial
condition, results, or the operations of either the Charles Town Joint Venture
or the Company.
