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. 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, 1997 and the results of its operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations experienced for the six month period ending June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be experienced for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. The financial 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, 1996 annual financial statements. 2.

Commitments At June 30, 1997, the Company was contingently obligated under letters of credit with face amounts aggregating $1,803,700. The $1,803,700 consisted of $1,703,700 relating to the horsemen's account balances and $100,000 for Pennsylvania pari-mutuel taxes. On June 20, 1997, the Company acquired options to purchase approximately 100 acres of land in Memphis, Tennessee for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 million. The Company paid $11,000 to acquire the options and has the right to extend the options from month to month until June 20, 1998 upon the payment of $11,000 per month. The Company is preparing an application to the Tennessee State Racing Commission for the proposed development of a harness race track and off-track wagering facility at the site. On June 25, 1997, the Company entered into a five-year technology agreement with GTECH Corporation for the installation and operation of the VLT system at the Charles Town facility. The agreement provides for annual payments equal to the facility's net win multiplied by a percentage which decreases as the net win per day per machine at the facility increases. (12) PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 for interest was $2,051,000 and $30,000, respectively. Cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 for income taxes was $629,000 and $1,616,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reclassified approximately $1.9 million of prepaid acquisition costs to excess of cost over fair market value of net assets acquired. 5. Common Stock In February 1997, the Company completed a secondary public offering of 1,725,000 shares of its common stock. The net proceeds of $23 million were used to repay $19 million of term loans outstanding under the $75 million credit facility and to finance a portion of the cost of the refurbishment of the Charles Town Races facility. In connection with such debt repayment, the Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $383,000 after taxes, consisting primarily of the write-off of deferred finance costs. 6. Acquisitions On January 15, 1997, an 89% - owned Company subsidiary acquired substantially all of the assets of Charles Town Races for approximately $16 million plus acquisition-related fees and expenses of approximately $1.9 million. On March 26, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase property for its proposed Carbondale, Pennsylvania OTW facility. The agreement provides for a purchase price of $200,000 and is subject to numerous contingencies, including approval by the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing Commission. On June 5, 1997, the Company's application was approved by the Racing Commission, the Company expects to have the facility constructed and operational in the fourth quarter of 1997. (13) PENN NATIONAL GAMING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 7. Subsequent Items On July 8, 1997, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the Hazleton OTW facility. The lease is for 13,000 square feet at the Laurel Mall in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The initial term of the lease is for ten years with two additional five-year renewal options available. The agreement is subject to numerous contingencies, including approval by the Pennsylvania State Harness Racing Commission. On July 10, 1997, the Company submitted its application for such approval. If approved by the Racing Commission, the Company expects to have the facility constructed and operational in the fourth quarter of 1997. (14) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to three months ended June 30, 1996 Total revenue increased by approximately $13.5 million or 84.4% from $16.1 million to $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 1996, accounted for $10.1 million of the increase. Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January of 1997 and began racing operations on April 30, 1997, accounted for $2.9 million of the increase. In addition, revenues at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilities increased by $547,000. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $2.5 million in revenues at the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport, offset by a decrease of $2.0 million at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the other OTW facilities. Management believes that the decrease in revenues at the Penn National OTW facilities was primarily due to the opening of a competitor's OTW facility and the opening of the Company's Lancaster OTW facility. Total operating expenses increased by approximately $12.3 million or 93.2% from $13.2 million to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs and Charles Town Races accounted for $8.3 million and $3.0 million of this increase, respectively. Penn National Race Course and its OTW facility operations accounted for $1.0 million of the total operating expense increase. This increase was primarily due to $1.9 million in operating expenses for the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport offset by a decrease in purses, pari-mutuel taxes, simulcast expenses, and direct salaries, payroll taxes, and employees benefits at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the other OTW facilities due to decreased revenues. Income from operations increased by approximately $1.3 million or 45.2% from $2.8 million to $4.1 million due to the factors described above. Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 consisted of approximately $775,000 in interest expense (primarily due to the financing of the Pocono Downs acquisition) compared to $24,000 in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Income tax expense increased from $1.2 million to $1.4 million due to the increase in income for the period. Net income increased by approximately $300,000 or 16.7% from $1.7 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996 based on the factors described above. (15) Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to six months ended June 30, 1996 Total revenue increased by approximately $21.8 million or 71.2% from $30.6 million to $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 1996, accounted for $17.3 million of the increase. Charles Town Races, which was purchased in January of 1997 and began racing operations on April 30, 1997, accounted for $2.9 million of the increase. In addition, revenues at Penn National Race Course and its OTW facilties increased by $1.6 million. This increase was primarily due to the receipt of $4.7 million in revenues at the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport, offset by a decrease of $3.1 million at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the other OTW facilities. Management believes that the decrease at the Penn National OTW facilities was primarily due to the opening of a competitor's OTW facility and the opening of the Company's Lancaster OTW facility. Total operating expenses increased by approximately $18.9 million or 73.4% from $25.7 million to $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. Pocono Downs and Charles Town Races accounted for $13.8 million and $3.0 million of this increase respectively. Penn National Race Course and its OTW facility operations accounted for $2.1 million of the total operating expense increase. This increase was primarily due to $3.4 million in operating expenses for the Company's new OTW facilities in Lancaster and Williamsport offset by a decrease in purses, pari-mutuel taxes, simulcast expenses, and direct salaries, payroll taxes, and employees benefits at the thoroughbred track in Grantville and the other OTW facilities due to decreased revenues. Income from operations increased by approximately $2.9 million or 59.9% from $4.9 million to $7.8 million due to the factors described above. Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 consisted of approximately $1.7 million in interest expense (primarily due to the financing of the Pocono Downs acquisition) compared to $38,000 in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Income tax expense increased from $2.0 million to $2.6 million due to the increase in income for the period. The extraordinary item consisted of a loss on the early extinguishment of debt in the amount of $383,000 net of income taxes. This resulted from the Company's receiving approximately $23 million as proceeds from the February 1997 equity offering and using approximately $19 million to reduce long-term debt. (16) Net income increased by approximately $351,000 or 11.8% from $3.0 million to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 based on the factors described above. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been cash flow from operations and borrowings from banks. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's cash position decreased by approximately $800,000 due primarily to the renovation project at Charles Town Races. Net cash provided from operating activities totaled approximately $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net income and non-cash expenses provided $5.6 million and $1.3 million came from the repayment of the Charles Town Races loan receivable in January 1997. The balance of $3.1 million was generated by other changes in working capital. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled approximately $31.6 million. Acquisition costs for the purchase of Charles Town Races totaled $16.0 million and construction in progress and equipment for the Charles Town facility totaled approximately $13.0 million. Capital expenditures for the completion of the Williamsport OTW facility was $700,000. The balance of $1.9 million represents other necessary ongoing capital expenditures. Cash flows from financing activities totaled approximately $20.9 million of which was generated from the secondary equity offering in February 1997 and the exercise of options that resulted in the issuance of 1,756 shares of common stock. The Company also received $16.5 million in proceeds from long-term debt to use as payment for the Charles Town acquisition on January 15, 1997. The Company used $19.0 million of the proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its bank debt. The remaining amount of the proceeds of approximately $4.0 million was used for the refurbishment of the Charles Town facility. During the balance of 1997, the Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $4.0 million, exclusive of the cost of refurbishing the Charles Town Facility (described below), to construct two additional OTW facilities and approximately $500,000 for other capital expenditures and improvements to existing facilities for Penn National Race Course and Pocono Downs. Under the Company Credit Facility, the Company is permitted to make capital expenditures (not including the refurbishment of the Charles Town Facility or the cost of gaming machines to be installed there) of $12.0 million in 1997, $4.0 million in 1998 and $2.0 million in 1999 and in each year thereafter. The Company anticipates expending approximately $18.5 million on the refurbishment of the Charles Town Facility (excluding the cost of gaming machines), of (17) which $13.0 million had already been expended through June 30, 1997. On July 15, 1997, the Company borrowed an additional $3.5 million under the Company Credit Facility for Charles Town refurbishment costs. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds of the equity offering, together with the cash generated from operations and borrowings under its Credit Facility, will be sufficient to finance its current operations and planned capital expenditure requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not be required to seek 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. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, existing shareholders may experience dilution. (18) PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
