                           MAGNA ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
        NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND
                             COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
                                 JUNE 30, 2001
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income

     The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income
     for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 has been prepared from:

     (i)   the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
           income of Magna Entertainment Corp. ("the Company") for the six month
           period ended June 30, 2001;

     (ii)  the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Ladbroke Racing
           Pennsylvania and Subsidiaries ("Ladbroke") for the period from
           January 1, 2001 to April 4, 2001; and

     (iii) the unaudited statement of operations of Sport Broadcasting, Inc.
           ("SBI") for the three month period ended March 31, 2001.

This pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of
Ladbroke and SBI, presented elsewhere herein, as well as the historical
financial statements of the Company including the related notes thereto,
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income has
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States ("US GAAP").

This pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income is
not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations
that would have resulted had the relevant transactions taken place at the
respective dates referred to below.

2.   PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

This pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income has
been presented assuming that the acquisition described below had been completed
as of January 1, 2001. 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

                                      -1-


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 six month period ended June 30, 2001 includes the
          results of Ladbroke for the same period.

     (ii) The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
          income for the six month period ended June 30, 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 six month
          period ended June 30, 2001 are:

          -   The Ladbroke statement of operations present gross wagering
              revenues net of pari-mutuel taxes. For the period to our
              acquisition, 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 to the date of our
              acquistion of $76,295,000. As such, the tax reduction would
              decrease purses, awards and other expenses by $381,000.
          -   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
