                                      -1-


2.   PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming
that the acquisition described below had been completed as of January 1, 2001
for the pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income
and as of April 4, 2001 for the pro forma consolidated balance sheet. The pro
forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the following items:

(a)  Ladbroke

On April 5, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Ladbroke Racing
Pennsylvania Inc. and Sport Broadcasting, Inc. (collectively "Ladbroke Racing
Pennsylvania and Subsidiaries" or "Ladbroke") for a total purchase price,
including cash acquired of $7.0 million and transaction costs of $54.5 million.
The total purchase price was satisfied by cash payments of $28 million, the
issuance of two promissory notes totalling $13,250,000 which bear interest at 6%
with the first note in the amount of $6,625,000 maturing on the first
anniversary of the closing date and the second note in the amount of $6,625,000
maturing on the second anniversary of the closing date and by issuance of
3,178,297 shares of Class A Subordinate Voting Stock. The Ladbroke companies
include account wagering operations, The Meadows harness track, four off-track
betting facilities and an 18.3% interest in The Racing Network. Since the
submission of our 8-K/A on June 19, 2001, the Company has determined that the
excess of purchase price over net assets on the Ladbroke acquisition should be
allocated to racing licenses rather than goodwill as previously identified. In
this submission, the excess has been reflected as racing licenses and
accordingly a deferred tax liability has been established relating to this
asset.

     (i)    The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
            income for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 includes the
            results of Ladbroke for the period from January 1, 2001 to April 4,
            2001.

     (ii)   The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2001
            includes the financial position of Ladbroke as at April 4, 2001.

     (iii)  The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2001
            includes an adjustment to record the application of purchase
            accounting to the March 31, 2001 consolidated balance sheet. The
            impact of applying purchase accounting is to increase other assets
            (comprised of racing licences) by $54,910,000, share capital by
            $13,250,000, long term debt by $13,250,000, other accrued
            liabilities by $123,000, future income taxes by $27,067,000, fixed
            assets by $2,614,000 and decrease cash by $28,009,000. The
            contributed surplus and accumulated retained earnings of $11,782,000
            and $12,393,000, respectively, are eliminated.

     (iv)   The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
            income for the period ended March 31, 2001 include adjustments that
            arise as a result of the Ladbroke acquisition and the application of
            purchase accounting. The adjustments to the results of operations of
            Ladbroke included in the pro forma consolidated statement of
            operations and comprehensive income for the period ended March 31,
            2001 are:

            -  The Ladbroke statement of operations present gross wagering
               revenues net of pari-mutuel taxes. For the three month period
               ended March 31, 2001, these taxes were $1,683,000. An adjustment
               has been made to increase both gross wagering revenues and
               purses, awards and other expenses by $1,683,000.

            -  Additional amortization expense of $769,000 as a result of the
               increase in other assets, based on the purchase price allocation,
               and accounting policy to amortize the other assets over a 20 year
               period.

            -  The State of Pennsylvania has granted the Company a reduction in
               pari-mutuel taxes of 0.5% for a period of three years. This
               reduction has been calculated based on handle for the three month
               period ended March 31, 2001 of $76,295,000. As such, the tax
               reduction would decrease purses, awards and other expenses by
               $381,000.

                                      -2-


            -  On acquisition, the Company issued promissory notes of
               $13,250,000 which bear interest at 6% per annum. Accordingly,
               there would be an increase in interest expense by $199,000.

            -  On acquisition, the Company paid cash of approximately $28
               million. Accordingly there would be decreased interest income
               earned in the period as a result of these funds being disbursed
               at the beginning of the period of approximately $350,000.

            -  Ladbroke had previously amortized buildings over a 25 year
               period. The Company's accounting policy is to amortize these
               assets over a 40 year period. Accordingly, depreciation and
               amortization expense has been reduced by $38,000 to reflect the
               longer depreciation period.

            -  A decrease in income tax expense of $52,000 is required as a
               result of the above noted adjustments, effected at a combined
               federal and state tax rate of 40%.

            -  A decrease in deferred income tax expense of $308,000 as a result
               of the reversal of deferred income taxes on the amortization of
               the other assets (racing licences).

     (v)    To maintain consistency of presentation with the Company, $406,000
            of deferred revenue, which relates to grants received to assist in
            the acquisition of fixed assets, has been reclassified against the
            respective fixed assets.

(b)  Sport Broadcasting, Inc.

     (i)    The pro forma statement of operations and comprehensive income for
            the three month period ended March 31, 2001 includes the results of
            SBI for the same period.

     (ii)   The pro forma balance sheet as at March 31, 2001 includes the
            financial position of SBI as at the same date.

     (iii)  The pro forma statement of operations and comprehensive income
            includes an adjustment to reduce the loss in SBI to only the
            contributions made to SBI in the first quarter of 2001.
            Contributions during the period were $531,000. Accordingly, the
            adjustment required is to increase pre-development and other costs
            by $101,000.

     (iv)   The pro forma balance sheet as at March 31, 2001 includes an
            adjustment to eliminate SBI's other assets, contributed surplus and
            the accumulated deficit of $898,000, $5,053,000 and $4,155,000,
            respectively. This adjustment is required as a result of the
            valuation of the SBI investment at nil in the purchase accounting to
            reflect the estimated fair market value of this investment.
