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

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995

Total revenue increased by approximately $411,000 or 2.6% from $15.6
million to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
was attributable to an increase in import and export simulcasting revenues
offset by a decrease in pari-mutuel revenues on Penn National races. The
increase in export simulcasting revenues of $397,000 or 75% from $530,000 to
$926,000 resulted from the Company's races being broadcast to additional
out-of-state locations. The decrease in pari-mutuel revenues on Penn National
races was due to increased import simulcasting revenue from wagering on other
race tracks at Penn National facilities. For the quarter, Penn National
scheduled and ran 52 live race days.

Total operating expenses increased by approximately $71,000 from $13.1
million to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
in operating expenses resulted from an increase in purses, stakes and trophies,
pari-mutuel taxes, and simulcast expenses resulting from an increase in revenue
from import simulcasting.

Income from operations increased by approximately $340,000 or 13.6% from
$2.5 million to $2.8 million due to the factors described above.

Net income increased by approximately $206,000 or 13.6% from $1,519,000 to
$1,725,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Income tax expense
increased from $1,039,000 to $1,170,000 due to the increase in income for the
period.



Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995

Total revenue increased by approximately $2.1 million or 7.5% from $28.5
million to $30.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
was attributable to an increase in import and export simulcasting revenues
offset by a decrease in pari-mutuel revenues on Penn National races. The
increase in export simulcasting revenues of $774,000 or 77% from $1.0 million to
$1.8 million resulted from the Company's races being broadcast to additional
out-of-state locations. The decrease in pari-mutuel revenues on Penn National
races was due to increased import simulcasting revenue from wagering on other
race tracks at Penn National facilities. For the six month period, Penn National
was scheduled to run 113 live race days but canceled 11 days in the first
quarter due to inclement weather.

Total operating expenses increased by approximately $1.3 million from
$24.4 million to $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
increase in operating expenses resulted from an increase in purses, stakes and
trophies, pari-mutuel taxes, and simulcast expenses resulting from an increase
in revenue from import simulcasting and from six months of operating expenses
for the York OTW facility in 1996 compared to three months of expenses in 1995.


12
Income from operations  increased by approximately  $817,000 or 20.1% from
$4.1 million to $4.9 million due to the factors described above.

Net income increased by approximately $518,000 or 21.2% from $2.4 million
to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Income tax expense
increased from $1.7 million to $2.0 million due to the increase in income for
the period.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital
resources have been cash flow from operations and borrowing from banks and
related parties. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash
position increased by approximately $1.8 million from $7.5 million at December
31, 1995 to $9.3 million as a result of increased cash flow from operations.

Net cash provided from operating activities totaled approximately $2.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of which $3.6 million came from
net income and non-cash expenses.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $2.0 million
for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were primarily for improvements
and equipment at the race track and the construction of the Lancaster OTW
facility.

Cash flows from financing activities totaled approximately $1,486,000 from
the exercise of stock options and warrants and the issuance of 192,645 shares of
common stock.

The Company has a $4,200,000 credit facility with a commercial bank. The
facility provides for a working capital line of credit in the amount of
$2,500,000 at optional interest rates and a letter of credit facility for
$1,700,000. The credit facility is unsecured and contains various covenants
which include tangible net worth, debt to tangible net worth and debt coverage
ratio. At June 30, 1996, the Company was contingently obligated under the letter
of credit facility with face amounts aggregating $1,436,000. The $1,436,000
consists of $1,336,000 relating to the horsemen's account balances and $100,000
for Pennsylvania pari-mutuel taxes. All letters of credit expire December 31,
1996.

On February 26, 1996, construction began on the Lancaster OTW facility.
The construction costs totaling approximately $2.4 million were funded from the
Company's cash reserves. The Lancaster OTW facility opened July 11,1996.

On February 26, 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement
with Bryant Development Company, the holder of an option to purchase the Charles
Town Race Track in Jefferson County, West Virginia. The Company will hold an 80%
interest in the joint venture with Bryant Development holding the remainder. The
joint venture intends to purchase the track from its current owners, subject to
approval of a referendum permitting installation of video lottery terminals at
the track, for a purchase price which is currently being renegotiated. On March
29, 1996, the Company paid

13
$250,000 to extend the  purchase  option until  December  31, 1996.  The Company
intends to fund, if successful, the joint venture operations through additional
borrowing and the Company's working capital.


On May 13, 1996, the Company entered into a Mortgage Note Receivable with
the company it has entered into an agreement for the purchase of land for the
Downingtown OTW facility. The note has a principal sum of $400,000 with interest
due on the unpaid balance at a rate of 10% per annum. The note matures on the
later of the first anniversary date of the note or six months after the
termination of the land purchase agreement for the Downingtown OTW facility.

On June 4, 1996, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
with Charles Town Races, Inc. The Agreement provides for a working capital line
of credit in the amount of $1,250,000. As of June 30, 1996, Charles Town Races,
Inc. has borrowed $860,000 of the available credit.

The Company believes that the cash on hand, cash generated from
operations, and the above credit facility will be sufficient to fund its
anticipated future cash requirements.
