                Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

Maryland Jockey Club Companies

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Maryland Jockey
Club Companies as of December 31, 2001, and the related combined statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, partners' deficit and cash flows for the year
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Maryland
Jockey Club Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Maryland Jockey Club Companies as of December 31, 2001, and the combined results
of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                         Maryland Jockey Club Companies

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                                December 31, 2001


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the
following entities collectively referred to throughout as the Maryland Jockey
Club Companies or Companies. These Companies operate the only thoroughbred
racetracks in Maryland - Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park. All companies in
the combined group are under common management and represent the operating
activities associated with thoroughbred racing and wagering in the State of
Maryland.

The Pimlico Racing Association, Inc and its wholly subsidiary, the Maryland
Jockey Club of Baltimore City, Inc., (collectively Pimlico) own the real
property and other assets comprising Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.

Laurel Racing Association, Inc. (LRAI) is the general partner of Laurel Racing
Association Limited Partnership (Laurel). Laurel consists of the general partner
and a limited partner. The general partner has exclusive and complete discretion
in the management and control of Laurel and as such, the operations of Laurel
have been consolidated within LRAI. Laurel owns the real property and other
assets comprising Laurel Park in Laurel, Maryland.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

COMBINATION

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.


                                                                             13

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Companies' financial instruments consisting of Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Due from Affiliates, Prepaid
Expenses, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, Pari-mutuel Tickets Outstanding
and Due to Affiliates approximate fair value given the short-term nature of
these financial instruments.

The Companies also have financial instruments in Notes Receivables from
Affiliates, Notes Receivable from Unaffiliated Virginia Racetrack, Short-term
Borrowings, Long-term Debt, Notes Payable to Affiliates and a Note Payable to a
Related Party with fair values that approximate carrying value.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Companies consider all highly liquid investments with maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and collateral is not
required. The Company's policy is to write off all accounts that have been
identified as uncollectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for
accounts not yet written off which may become uncollectible in future periods.
Accounts receivable primarily includes unpaid signal fees and common pool
wagering settlements.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. The provision for
depreciation has been computed using accelerated tax methods, which do not
differ materially from depreciation methods that are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Companies' major classes of property and equipment the related useful lives
are as follows:

Furniture and fixtures                                      3-7 years
Machinery and equipment                                     3-7 years
Land improvements                                            15 years
Buildings and improvements                                18-40 years


                                                                             14

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

Certain expenses incurred in obtaining long-term financing are being amortized
over a period which approximates the term of the indebtedness. Amortization is
computed using the straight-line method.

PARI-MUTUEL TICKETS OUTSTANDING

The Companies hold amounts owed for unclaimed winning tickets from recent meets.
Any amounts not claimed within one year will be remitted to the Maryland Racing
Commission in accordance with state law. Amounts related to unclaimed tickets
greater than one year old were remitted to the Maryland Racing Commission.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Companies record gross wagering revenues associated with horse racing on a
daily basis. Wagering revenues are recognized gross of purses, stakes and awards
and pari-mutuel wagering taxes. The costs to these amounts are shown as "Less
Takeouts" in the accompanying combined statement of operations.

COMPANIES' SHARE

Mutuel play reflects the results of 109 days of live racing conducted at Pimlico
Race Course and 110 days of live racing conducted at Laurel Park for the year
ended December 31, 2001.

SIGNAL FEES AND COMMON POOL WAGERING COMMISSIONS

Signal fees and common pool wagering commissions are based on an established
percentage of mutuel play. These amounts represent both signal fees paid to
non-Maryland racetracks by the Companies and common pool wagering commissions
earned on live racing conducted by the Companies.

OTHER RACING REVENUE

Other meeting revenue includes non-wagering revenue primarily related to live
racing days and simulcast only days. Revenues include admissions, parking,
program sales, concession commission, signal fees and other non-wagering
revenues.


                                                                            15

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Maryland law requires Pimlico and Laurel to withhold a specified percentage of
mutuel play for employee benefits. An amount withheld is remitted to the
Maryland Race Track Employees' Pension Fund and the Maryland Harness Track
Employees Pension Fund on behalf of their employees. The residual amount is
remitted to a plan sponsored by the State of Maryland covering state employees
working at Maryland racetracks. The Maryland Race Track Employees' Pension Fund,
a defined benefit plan, was established by the Companies and certain other
Maryland racing industry employers. Such contributions are reflected in the
accompanying combined statement of operations within pension funds. Under this
plan, the Companies are not required to fund any additional amounts beyond the
amounts withheld based upon mutuel play.

The Companies sponsor a defined contribution plan for eligible nonunion
employees. The Companies match 25% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 1%
contributed by eligible employees. For the period ended December 31, 2001, the
Companies recognized $53,654 within general and administrative expense in the
accompanying combined statement of operations.

Additionally, the Companies sponsor a defined contribution plan for all eligible
union employees. The plan does not require the Companies to make contributions
to the plan; however, the Companies can voluntarily elect to make contributions.
As of December 31, 2001, the Companies have not made any contributions to this
plan.

ADVERTISING COSTS

The Companies expense most costs of advertising the first time the advertising
takes place, except for direct-response advertising, which is capitalized and
expensed when redeemed on the day of the promotion.

Direct-response advertising consists primarily of mystery vouchers that can be
redeemed on a specific racing day. Mystery vouchers are sent to customers with
an indeterminable value assigned to the voucher, which can only be determined
when used to place a bet at one of the Companies' racetracks or its affiliated
off-track betting parlors. The capitalized costs of this advertising are
expensed when redeemed.

At December 31, 2001, $316,463 of advertising was reported as prepaid expenses
and the total amount charged to advertising expense during 2001 was $3,547,283.



                                                                              16

OTHER INCOME

In 2001, the Companies received proceeds from an insurance claim related to a
fire at Pimlico Race Course on Preakness Day in 1998. The insurance proceeds
amounted to approximately $1,126,000 which covered expenses related to repairs
and unrealized revenues related to interruption in business.

INCOME TAXES

The Companies consist of both corporations and partnerships. The corporations
account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. No provision has been
recorded for income taxes at Laurel as any income or loss of this entity is
included in the tax returns of the partners.

2. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consists of the following as of December

AFFILIATED TRAINING CENTER

Laurel and Pimlico indirectly own a 50.5% and 49.5% interest, respectively, in
Southern Maryland Agricultural Association (SMAA), which owns and operates the
Bowie Race Course Training Center. Laurel and Pimlico's investment in SMAA is
accounted for under the equity method and, accordingly, is carried at cost as
adjusted for capital contributions and their proportionate share of the training
center costs. Laurel and Pimlico are responsible under the Maryland racing law
for costs of operations, maintenance and improvements to the training facility.

At December 31, 2001, the total equity investment of Laurel and Pimlico in SMAA
was $2,388,283. There is a difference between Laurel's investment in SMAA and
its share of SMAA's equity. In June 2001, the financial accounting standards
board issued Statement No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Statement
No. 142). Statement No. 142, which will be adopted by Laurel in 2002, will
require a one time adjustment to increase Laurel's investment by approximately
$314,000 to reflect its proportionate share of the underlying equity of SMAA.
This adjustment will be recorded as a cumulative effect of an accounting change
in 2002.

differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities include accrued
expense, accounts receivable, property and equipment and investments in

12. LAND LEASE AND GUARANTEE

In 2000, Laurel began leasing to a not-for-profit entity, for a nominal amount,
approximately three acres of land within Laurel Park for the development of two
dormitories. An officer of Laurel is also an officer and director of this
not-for-profit entity. The dormitories provide housing and improved quality of
life for some of Laurel's backstretch workers. As part of the lease and
dormitory financing agreement, leased land is restricted by deed for the next 50
years for the purpose of low income housing, subject to certain exceptions.

Laurel has agreed to manage the dormitories and deposit approximately $4,000 per
year through 2040 in a collateral account to enable the not-for-profit entity to
make principal payments on its indebtedness. Laurel has also guaranteed
performance by the not-for-profit entity of its non-monetary obligations,
payment of all operating deficits incurred by the project, and annual principal
payments of indebtedness of through 2039.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, Laurel made payments of principal and
interest of $28,795. Laurel is also responsible for all costs of the project not
covered by rent. The not-for-profit entity collects rent on these dormitories of
approximately $32,400 which was transferred to Laurel for payment of these
obligations and to cover other costs associated with the project.



                                                                              26

     historical financial statements of the Company, Ladbroke and SBI, including
     the related notes thereto, previously filed with the U.S. Securities and
     Exchange Commission.

     These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States ("US GAAP").

     These pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
     indicative of the financial position or operating results that would have
     resulted had the relevant transactions taken place at the respective dates

                                                                             35




2.       PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These pro forma consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming
that the acquisitions described below had been completed as of January 1, 2001
for the pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income
and as of September 30, 2002 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 Sports Broadcasting, Inc. (collectively "Ladbroke
     Racing Pennsylvania and Subsidiaries" or "Ladbroke") for a total purchase
     price, including transaction costs, of $46.6 million, net of cash acquired
     of $7.0 million. The total purchase price was satisfied by cash payments of
     $20.1 million, the issuance of two promissory notes totaling $13,250,000
     which bear interest at 6% per annum 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 the issuance of 3,178,297 shares of Class A
     Subordinate Voting Stock. Ladbroke includes account wagering operations,
     The Meadows harness racetrack and four off-track betting facilities located
     around the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. In addition, substantially all
     the assets of Sports Broadcasting, Inc. consist of an 18.3% interest in The
     Racing Network. 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 a result, 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 year ended December 31, 2001 includes the
          results of Ladbroke for the same period.

     (ii) The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
          income for the year ended December 31, 2001 includes 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 year ended December 31,
          2001 are:

          -    The Ladbroke unaudited consolidated statement of operations
               presents 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 (racing licenses), 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
               acquisition 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
               $20,100,000, which bear interest at 6% per annum. Accordingly,
               there would be an increase in interest expense of $199,000.

          -    On acquisition, the Company paid cash of approximately
               $20,100,000. 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.


                                                                             36





          -    Ladbroke had previously depreciated buildings over a 25 year
               period. The Company's accounting policy is to depreciate 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 license).

(b)   SPORT BROADCASTING, INC. ("SBI")

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

     (ii) The pro forma consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
          income includes an adjustment to adjust the loss in SBI to only the
          contributions made to SBI in the year ended December 31, 2001.
          Contributions during the year ended December 31, 2001 were $943,000.
          Of these amounts, $531,000 were up to the date of our acquisition and
          $412,000 were subsequent to our acquisition. Contributions subsequent
          to our acquisition are included in the Company's balances. As the loss
          for the period is accounted for by the equity method of accounting, an
          adjustment to increase pre-development and other costs by $101,000 is
          required to reflect the $531,000 of contributions made.

(c)  MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB COMPANIES

     On November 27, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of a
     controlling interest in the Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park, which are
     operated under the trade name "The Maryland Jockey Club", for a total
     purchase price, including transaction costs, of $84.9 million, net of cash
     acquired of $5.3 million. The total purchase price was satisfied by cash
     payments of $66.6 million and the obligation to pay $18.3 million, which
     bears interest at the six month London Inter-bank Overnight Rate ("LIBOR"),
     upon the exercise of either the put or call option described below. Under
     the terms of the agreements, the Company acquired a 51% equity and voting
     interest in The Maryland Jockey Club of Baltimore City, Inc., the owner of
     Pimlico Race Course, a 51% voting interest and a 58% equity interest on a
     fully diluted basis in Laurel Racing Assoc., Inc., the general partner and
     manager of Laurel Racing Association Limited Partnership ("LRALP"), the
     owner of Laurel Park, and the entire limited partnership interest in LRALP.
     The Company also purchased options from the De Francis family to buy their
     remaining voting and equity interest in The Maryland Jockey Club, which
     represent all of the minority interests, at any time during the period
     starting 48 months and ending 60 months after the closing of the
     transaction. The Company has also granted the De Francis family the option
     to sell such interests to the Company at any time during the first five
     years after closing. In consideration for these options, the Company paid
     $18.4 million on closing and an additional $18.3 million, plus interest at
     the six month LIBOR, will be paid on exercise of the options. The put and
     call options are viewed, for accounting purposes, on a combined basis with
     the minority interest and accounted for as a financing of the Company's
     purchase of such minority interest. Accordingly, the Company will
     consolidate 100% of the operations of MJC from the date of acquisition.
     Pimlico Race Course, the home of the Preakness Stakes, the middle jewel in
     thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, and Laurel Park both are located in the
     Baltimore, Maryland area.

     (i)  The pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
          income for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended
          September 30, 2002 include the results of operations of MJC for the
          same periods.

     (ii) The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2002
          includes the financial position of MJC as at the same date.


                                                                              37





    (iii) The pro forma consolidated balance as at September 30, 2002 includes
          an adjustment to eliminate certain investments in entities that are
          accounted for on the equity basis of accounting in the MJC balance
          sheet. However, as a result of the acquisition, the Company has a
          controlling interest in these entities and is required to consolidate
          rather than equity account. Accordingly, an adjustment is required to
          reduce cash by $36,000, investments by $4,014,000, long-term debt by
          $963,000 and increase restricted cash by $2,300,000, accounts
          receivable by $209,000, prepaid expenses and other by $78,000, real
          estate properties and fixed assets by $3,931,000 and accounts payable
          and other liabilities by $3,431,000.

     (iv) The pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2002
          includes an adjustment to record the application of purchase
          accounting to the September 30, 2002 balance sheet. The impact of
          applying purchase accounting is to increase other assets (racing
          license) by $92,930,000, real estate properties and fixed assets by
          $32,903,000, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities by
          $2,800,000, long-term debt by $18,313,000, future income tax
          liabilities by $43,051,000 and decrease cash by $71,898,000. The
          capital stock of $1,000, contributed surplus of $2,554,000 and
          retained earnings of $7,674,000 are eliminated.

     (v)  The pro forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
          income for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended
          September 30, 2002 include adjustments that arise as a result of the
          acquisition of MJC and the application of purchase accounting. The
          adjustments to the results of operations of MJC included in the pro
          forma consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income
          for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended
          September 30, 2002 are:

          FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

          -    The MJC statement of operations reflects commissions earned and
               losses from affiliated off- track betting facilities, for which
               the Company has a controlling interest, on the equity basis of
               accounting. As stated above, the Company is required to
               consolidate rather than equity account for these investments and
               the adjustment required is to increase gross wagering revenue by
               $10,699,000, non-wagering revenue by $1,377,000, purses, awards
               and other by $10,699,000, operating costs by $4,656,000, general
               and administrative costs by $280,000, depreciation and
               amortization expense by $353,000 and interest expense by
               $115,000, record minority interest of $366,000 and reduce
               predevelopment and other costs by $3,661,000.

          -    On acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation to pay
               $18,312,650, upon the exercise of either the put or call option,
               which bears interest at the six month LIBOR. Accordingly, there
               would be an increase in interest expense of $269,000 for the year
               ended December 31, 2001.

          -    On acquisition, the Company paid $66,615,000 for the purchase of
               MJC. Accordingly, there would be a decrease in interest income of
               $886,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as these funds
               would have not been available to earn interest.

          -    A reduction in income tax expense of $462,000 for the year ended
               December 31, 2001 is required as a result of the above noted
               adjustments, effected at a combined federal and state tax rate of
               40%.


                                                                              38





          FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

          -    The MJC statement of operations reflects commissions earned and
               losses from affiliated off-track betting facilities, for which
               the Company has a controlling interest, on the equity basis of
               accounting. As stated above, the Company is required to
               consolidate rather than equity account for these investments and
               the adjustment required to increase gross wagering revenue by
               $8,200,000, non-wagering revenue by $1,232,000, purses, awards
               and other by $8,158,000, operating costs by $3,309,000, general
               and administrative costs by $372,000, depreciation and
               amortization expense by $246,000 and interest expense by $37,000,
               record minority interest of $221,000 and reduce predevelopment
               and other costs by $2,469,000.

          -    On acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation to pay
               $18,312,650, upon the exercise of either the put or call option,
               which bears interest at the six month LIBOR. Accordingly, there
               would be an increase in interest expense of $201,000 for the nine
               months ended September 30, 2002.

          -    On acquisition, the Company paid $66,615,000 for the purchase of
               MJC. Accordingly, there would be a decrease in interest income of
               $663,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as these
               funds would have not been available to earn interest.

          -    A reduction in income tax expense of $346,000 for the nine months
               ended September 30, 2002 is required as a result of the above
               noted adjustments, effected at a combined federal and state tax
               rate of 40%.



                                                                              39
