                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Management Committee
 Bay Meadows Operating Company, LLC
 and Bay Meadows Catering

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Bay Meadows
Operating Company, LLC and Bay Meadows Catering (collectively the "Companies")
as of November 17, 2000 (Disposition Date) and December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related combined statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the
periods from January 1, 2000 through November 17, 2000, from February 1, 1999
through December 31, 1999, from January 1, 1999 through January 31, 1999, and
for the year ended December 31, 1998.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of the Companies at
November 17, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the combined results of
their operations and their cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2000
through November 17, 2000 (Disposition Date), from February 1, 1999 through
December 31, 1999, from January 1, 1999 through January 31, 1999, and for the
year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

   For the year ended December 31, 1998, and the periods from January 1, 1999
   through January 31, 1999, February 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, and
          January 1, 2000 through November 17, 2000 (Disposition Date)

1. Business and Accounting Policies

Business

Bay Meadows Operating Company, LLC ("BMOC") is a Delaware limited liability
company. BMOC was formed on July 1, 1997 (Inception), and is engaged primarily
in operating the Bay Meadows racetrack for Thoroughbred horse racing, the
conduct of which is subject to the licensing provisions of the California Horse
Racing Board ("CHRB"). The Bay Meadows racetrack is located in San Mateo,
California. Bay Meadows Catering ("BMC") is a California corporation formed in
1965 and provides the food and beverage service to the Bay Meadows racetrack.
BMOC and BMC are referred to, collectively, as the "Companies."

For the period from January 1, 1998 through to January 31, 1999, Wyndham
International Operating Partnership ("Wyndham") and Patriot Holding LLC were 99%
and 1% members, respectively of BMOC. Also during this period, BMC was owned
100% by Wyndham.

On February 1, 1999 ("Acquisition Date"), BMOC Acquisitions XIV, LLC, a newly
formed Delaware limited liability company, purchased all membership interests in
BMOC and all of the capital stock in BMC for a purchase price of $10,671,900 of
which $2,003,900 represented net cash acquired at the Acquisition Date.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting,
accordingly, the assets and liabilities of BMOC and BMC were recorded at their
fair market value as of February 1, 1999. A complete change in accounting basis
was appropriate given the change in control of voting interests. The financial
statements for periods subsequent to February 1, 1999 present the financial
position of the Companies and its results of operations after the allocation of
the purchase price relating to the BMOC Acquisitions XIV, LLC acquisition. The
accompanying financial statements for the periods prior to and including January
31, 1999 do not include the effects of the above purchase accounting
adjustments.

On November 17, 2000, Magna Entertainment Corporation, a publicly traded
Delaware company, purchased all membership interests in BMOC and all of the
capital stock in BMC for a purchase price of $24,100,000.

                                                                               6

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. Business and Accounting Policies (continued)

In order to conduct a Thoroughbred horse racing meet and to act as a satellite
facility, BMOC needs to secure, on an annual basis, a license from the CHRB. The
issuance of this license to BMOC is essential for it to continue to conduct
Thoroughbred horse racing meets at Bay Meadows racetrack. Although BMOC has
received its license for the 2000 race meet, there is no assurance that BMOC
will continue to receive this annual license. Bay Meadows has been granted an
annual license each year since 1934.

Thoroughbred horse racing is highly regulated by state law, and the number of
days available for racing in Northern California is within the discretion of the
CHRB, but subject to a maximum number established by statute. There is no
assurance that competition for racing days will not affect the allocation of
racing days to BMOC in the future.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the
Companies and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in combination.

Operating Revenues and Costs

The Companies record operating revenues associated with Thoroughbred horse
racing (including food and beverage operations) at the Bay Meadows racetrack on
a daily basis, except for season admission tickets, which are recorded ratably
over the racing season. Costs and expenses associated with Thoroughbred horse
racing revenues are charged to operations in those periods in which the
Thoroughbred horse racing revenues are recognized. Other costs and expenses are
recognized as they actually occur throughout the year.

Income Taxes

BMOC, as a limited liability company, is treated as a partnership for income tax
purposes; therefore, BMOC does not provide for income taxes since all results of
operations flow through to its members for inclusion in their tax returns.

                                                                               7

                              Bay Meadows Catering

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


BMC provides for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards ("FAS") No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". This statement requires
an asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes.

                                                                               8

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of combined financial statement presentation, the Companies
consider all highly liquid investment instruments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Amounts Held on Deposit for Thoroughbred Horse Owners

Amounts held on deposit for Thoroughbred horse owners (and the corresponding
liability) represent purses, net of entry fees, collected by BMOC and placed on
deposit for the benefit of certain Thoroughbred owners. These amounts and a
portion of the interest earned on these amounts, both of which are not available
for BMOC's purposes, are the property of such Thoroughbred owners and are
physically segregated in accordance with an agreement between the owners and
BMOC.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Inventory

BMC inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is included in
other assets. At November 17, 2000, inventory totaled $80,000 (December 31,
1999 - $76,700; December 31, 1998 - $67,000).

Concentrations of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Companies to concentrations
of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Companies
place their cash in institutions, which limit the amount of credit exposure to
any one commercial issuer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to
accounts receivable are limited due to the numbers of satellite locations and
Bay Meadows group event patrons.

                                                                               9

1. Business and Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


2. Racetrack Property and Equipment

BMOC recorded racetrack property improvements at their estimated market value at
Inception; BMC equipment was recorded at cost. For the period from Inception
through January 31, 1999, additions acquired were recorded at cost. Racetrack
property improvements were amortized using the straight line method over the
lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the
improvements (see Note 4 for discussion of leasing contract). Depreciation was
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
equipment, ranging from three to seven years.

The Companies' racetrack property improvements and equipment were recorded at
their estimated fair market value at the Acquisition Date. Additions acquired
subsequent to the Acquisition Date are recorded at cost. Racetrack property
improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the 15 year
estimated useful life of the improvements. Equipment is depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, ranging from three to
seven years.

Racetrack property improvements and equipment consist of the following:




                                   November 17,   December 31,   December 31,
                                           2000           1999           1998

                              Bay Meadows Catering

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


2. Racetrack Property and Equipment (continued)

The Companies evaluates their racetrack property improvements and equipment in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of (FAS 121). FAS 121
requires that when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the assets might not be recoverable, companies should evaluate the
need for an impairment write-down. Management believes that no impairment of
long-lived assets has occurred as of November 17, 2000, since management's
estimate of undiscounted cash flows to be generated from future Thoroughbred
horse racing activities at the Bay Meadows race track are in excess of the
carrying value of the Companies' racetrack property improvements and equipment
as of November 17, 2000.


The estimation process involved in the determination of future undiscounted cash
flows is inherently uncertain since it requires estimates as to future events
and conditions. Management's future cash flow estimates assume the continuation
of Thoroughbred horse racing activities at the Bay Meadows racetrack. Should
such horse racing activities be discontinued, the fair value of the racetrack
property improvements and equipment could be impaired and the amount of the
impairment could be material.

3. Operating Lease

BMOC entered into an operating lease for two starting gates with an unrelated
third party commencing on January 22, 1998, with a term covering the 2000 racing
season, with no option to extend. The lease term specifies that BMOC leases the
gates only on live racing days, and that the lessor can remove the gates on non-
live racing days. Rent per racing day for the period ended November 17, 2000,
totaled $325 (1999 - $325; 1998 - $300). For the period January 1, 2000 to
November 17, 2000, BMOC incurred $34,450 (for the period from February 1, 1999
through December 31, 1999 - $30,450; for the period from January 1, 1999 through
January 31, 1999 - $2,700; and for the year ended December 31, 1998 - $31,000)
in starting gate lease expense, all of which was paid. Starting gate lease
expense is included in operating and maintenance services.

                                                                              11

4. Related-Party Transactions

[a] For the period from January 1, 1998 through January 31, 1999

    From time to time, Wyndham and certain of its affiliates provided working
    capital and capital improvement advances to the Companies to meet the
    operational needs in the off-season. Payables to affiliates at December 31,
    1998 represent such amounts advanced, do not bear interest, and are due on
    demand.

    BMOC leased the race track facilities, including the grandstand and race
    track, from Patriot Racetrack Land LLC ("Patriot Racetrack"), an affiliate
    of Wyndham. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, which commenced on
    July 1, 1997 and contracted to expire on June 29, 2004, Patriot Racetrack
    received the greater of (i) $1,000,000 annually or (ii) the sum of (1) a
    percentage amount calculated as follows: 1% (for the period from July 1,
    1997 through March 31, 2001) or .6% (for the period from April 1, 2001
    through June 29 2004) of the on-track racing handle at BMOC and at guest
    locations that constitute part of the Northern California Satellite Network;
    plus (2) the applicable percentage following of all racing handle at BMOC on
    live races conducted at a Northern California race track or at a California
    race track conducting harness or quarter horse races at night; the
    percentages shall be 1%, .85%, .4%, .5% and .25% for the periods July 1,
    1997 through March 31, 1999, April 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000, April 1,
    2000 through March 31, 2001, April 1, 2001 through March 31, 2001, and April
    1, 2002 though March 29, 2004, respectively.

    Rent of $500,000 was due on December 10 of each year, with the balance
    payable by April 30 of the following year. For year ended December 31, 1998,
    BMOC incurred $2,039,000 (for the month ended January 1999 - $159,000) of
    rent expense on the race track facilities, all of which was paid. At
    December 31, 1998, BMOC had a prepaid rent amount of $440,000, which is
    offset against payable to affiliates. At Acquisition Date, this lease was
    cancelled.

    BMOC also leased the land under the race track facilities from Patriot
    Racetrack, which commenced on July 1, 1997 and expired June 29, 2004. Rent
    expense of $3,188,000 associated with the land lease was incurred in 1998,
    all of which was paid.

                                                                              12

4. Related-Party Transactions (continued)

[b] For the period from February 1, 1999 (Acquisition Date) through November 17,
    2000 (Disposal Date)

    BMOC leased the land under the racetrack facilities from PW Acquisitions IV,
    LLC an affiliate of the Companies. The lease agreement was assumed at the
    Acquisition Date and was subsequently terminated on July 7, 1999. Rent
    expense of $1,474,200 was incurred and paid from February 1, 1999 to the
    lease termination date of July 7, 1999, all of which is included in rental
    of facilities and equipment. Subsequent to July 7, 1999, BMOC has not
    incurred rent expenses for its use of the Bay Meadows racetrack.

    Due from affiliates represents reimbursements due to BMOC from Northern
    California Off-Track Wagering, Inc. ("NCOTWINC") related to vanning and
    stabling expenses and the distribution of excess revenue over expenses.

    Due to affiliates represents amounts due to NCOTWINC.

5. Satellite Wagering

On June 30, 1992, NCOTWINC was incorporated as a closely held corporation to
operate the Satellite Wagering System.  BMOC holds 25% of the outstanding shares
of NCOTWINC at a cost of $48,000 that is included in other assets. BMOC's
investment in NCOTWINC is accounted for under the cost basis of accounting.
NCOTWINC does not generate revenues, but rather receives statutory amounts based
on handle from its host shareholders for operating expenses that it incurs on
their behalf to conduct satellite wagering.  The statutory distribution from
BMOC to NCOTWINC totaled $4,989,091 for the period from January 1, 2000 to
November 17, 2000 (for the period from February 1, 1999 through December 31,
1999 - $4,469,600; for the month ended January 31, 1999 -$414,661; and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 - $3,629,000) for satellite wagering expenses.
These distributions have been offset against pari-mutuel revenues.

BMOC recorded $350,091 for the period from January 1, 2000 through November 17,
2000 (for the period from February 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 - $324,300;
for the month ended January 31, 1999 - $41,184; and for the year ended December
31, 1998 -

excess revenue generated over expenses incurred by NCOTWINC.

                                                                              14

6. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and
expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different
periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded to reflect deductible temporary
differences and operating loss and tax credit carryfowards while deferred tax
liabilities are recorded to reflect taxable temporary differences.

At November 17, 2000, BMC has a net operating loss carryforward for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $248,000, of which approximately $62,000
expires in 2012 and $186,000 expires in 2020. In addition, as of November 17,
2000, BMC has a state net operating loss carry forward of approximately $102,000
expiring in 2010. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of
$89,000 has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets related to those
carryforwards. Significant components of BMC's deferred tax asset are as
follows:

7. Pension Plans

The Companies contribute to several multi-employer defined benefit pension plans
for union employees and to the California Race Track Pension Plan for nonunion
employees.  The total expense under these plans was $700,900 for the period from
January 1, 2000 through November 17, 2000 (for the period from February 1, 1999
through December 31, 1999 - $759,900; for the month ended January 31, 1999 -
$95,000; and for the year ended December 31, 1998 - $872,000).  Pension costs
are funded currently.

Information about the accumulated plan benefits and plan net assets relative to
the participation of the Companies in the various plans has not been separately
determined.

                                                                              15

8.  Union Contracts

The following is a list of the union contracts that are scheduled to be
renegotiated during 2001:

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local #617
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local #495

Certain of the Companies' employees are members of unions. These unions provide
services for pari-mutuel wagering, building maintenance and racing officials and
comprise 2% of the Companies' total workforce during live race days. Management
expects to renew the union contracts when they become due in the normal course
of business.

9.  Commitments and Contingencies

As a result of the purchase of the Companies by Magna Entertainment Corporation,
the Companies' accounting for certain of its health and welfare benefits has
come into question. The Companies do not believe any additional commitment
exists beyond that recorded in its financial statements, and any additional
commitment, if actualized, would not have a material effect on the 2000 combined
financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, the Companies are involved as plaintiff or
defendant in various legal proceedings and are subject to regulation by various
government agencies with respect to environmental and other laws. The claims and
counterclaims in such litigation, including those for punitive damages,
individually in certain cases and in the aggregate, involve amounts which may be
material. However, it is the opinion of the Companies' management, based in part
upon the advice of legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of pending
litigation or administrative proceedings will not be material in relation to the
Companies' combined financial position and results of operations.

   The Company's accounting policies as reflected in these pro forma
   consolidated financial statements do not materially differ from Canadian GAAP
   except for:

   [a]  For purposes of reconciling to Canadian GAAP, the Company has early
        adopted the provisions of The Canadian Institute of Chartered
        Accountants Handbook Section 3461 "Employee Future Benefits" on a
        retroactive basis. Accordingly, net pension expense and accrued pension

   [b]  Under Canadian GAAP, there is no requirement to disclose comprehensive
        income (loss).
