Hollywood Casino Shreveport (“HCS”) is a general partnership registered in the state of Louisiana. The original partnership agreement was amended on September 22, 1998 to include as partners in what is now referred to as HCS the following companies: HWCC—Louisiana, Inc. (“HCL”), a Louisiana corporation wholly owned by Hollywood Casino Corporation (“HCC”); Sodak Louisiana, L.L.C. (“Sodak”), a Louisiana limited liability company; and Shreveport Paddlewheels, L.L.C. (“Paddlewheels”), a Louisiana limited liability company. The general partnership was originally formed in May 1992 for the purpose of developing and operating a riverboat casino in New Orleans, Louisiana. Originally named Queen of New Orleans at the Hilton Joint Venture (“QNOV”), the partnership was 50%-owned by Hilton New Orleans Corporation (“Hilton”) and 50%-owned by New Orleans Paddlewheels, Inc. (“NOP”). Hilton and NOP are collectively referred to herein as the “former partners.” QNOV’s riverboat operations in New Orleans commenced in February 1994 and were discontinued in October 1997.

During October 1996, QNOV received approval from state gaming authorities to relocate its license to operate to the City of Shreveport, Louisiana, approximately 180 miles east of Dallas, Texas. Subsequent to receiving approval to relocate, QNOV made the decision in 1997 not to conduct gaming operations in Shreveport. The former partners sought to transfer the license to operate in Shreveport to another interested party. Under Louisiana gaming regulations, the license to operate a riverboat gaming operation is not transferable; however, the ownership of an entity licensed to operate is transferable, subject to the approval of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (the “LGCB”). Accordingly, the acquisition by HCL, Sodak and Paddlewheels of the license to operate in Shreveport was structured as an acquisition of the interests QNOV’s former partners.

Upon admission of the new partners, HCS proceeded with entirely new plans to develop, own and operate a riverboat gaming complex to be constructed in Shreveport (the “Shreveport Casino”). The Shreveport Casino was completed and opened on December 20, 2000. Prior to opening, HCS had no operating activities other than development, financing and construction activities with respect to the Shreveport Casino. The Shreveport Casino consists of a three-level riverboat casino with approximately 1,422 slot machines, 60 table games and six poker stations and a 403-room, all suite, art deco style hotel. The project also includes approximately 45,000 square feet of restaurant and entertainment facilities developed by a third party.

It was originally anticipated that HCS would develop the Shreveport Casino with each of HCL and Sodak having a 50% interest in the development and subsequent operations. Once operations commenced, Paddlewheels was to have a residual interest in the event that the project was ever sold amounting to 10% plus any capital contributions made by Paddlewheels to HCS or otherwise credited to their account. The joint venture partner also receives an amount equal to 1% of “complex net revenues”, as defined, of the Shreveport Casino. On March 31, 1999, HCL entered into a definitive agreement with Sodak’s parent to acquire Sodak for the $2,500,000 Sodak had contributed to HCS. The revised structure of the partnership was approved by the LGCB on April 20, 1999. As a result of the acquisition, HCL obtained an effective 100% ownership interest in HCS with Paddlewheels retaining their residual interest. During July 1999, Sodak was merged into HCL.

Also during July 1999, HCL formed two new, wholly owned subsidiaries, HCS I, Inc. and HCS II, Inc., both Louisiana corporations. HCL contributed $1,000 of capital to each entity, along with 99% of its interest in HCS to HCS I, Inc. and the remaining 1% to HCS II, Inc. In addition, the HCS joint venture agreement was amended and restated on July 21, 1999, to reflect, among other things, the

admission of HCS I, Inc. and HCS II, Inc. as partners of HCS and the withdrawal of HCL as managing partner of HCS. As a result, HCS I, Inc. now has an effective 99% interest in HCS and has become its managing general partner. HCS II, Inc. now has an effective 1% interest in HCS. Paddlewheels retained their 10% residual interest in HCS and their monthly payment of 1% of “complex net revenues”.

Additionally, in July 1999, HCS formed a new, wholly owned subsidiary, Shreveport Capital Corporation (“Shreveport Capital”), a Louisiana corporation. HCS contributed $1,000 of capital to Shreveport Capital. Shreveport Capital was formed for the purpose of being a co-issuer with respect to $150,000,000 of 13% First Mortgage Notes with contingent interest (the “First Mortgage Notes”) due 2006 and the 13% Senior Secured Notes issued in June 2001. Shreveport Capital has not and is not expected to have any operating activities, acquire any assets or incur any other liabilities. Accordingly, separate financial statements of Shreveport Capital are not included herein because management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

Equity contributions from HCL and Paddlewheels provided the initial $50,000,000 of construction financing for the Shreveport Casino. During August 1999, HCS successfully completed the issuance of $150,000,000 of 13% First Mortgage Notes with contingent interest due 2006. These sources of funds, together with $30,000,000 of furniture, fixture and equipment financing, provided the initial funding for the project.

The principal executive offices of HCS and Shreveport Capital are located at 451 Clyde Fant Parkway, Shreveport, Louisiana 71101, telephone (318) 220-0711. The principal executive offices of HCL are located at Two Galleria Tower, Suite 2200, 13455 Noel Road, Dallas, Texas 75240, telephone (972) 392-7777. The website for the Shreveport Casino is www.hollywoodcasinoshreveport.com.

The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by HCS and HCL without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial positions of HCS and HCL as of September 30, 2002, the results of their operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and their cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in HCS and Shreveport Capital’s 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be provided upon request without charge from the offices of HCL as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with the Commission. Such filings are not presently available at the Shreveport Casino’s website as HCS is a partnership and has no public shareholders. The Form 10-K/A and other filings of HCC with the Securities and Exchange Commission (which are consolidated to include the financial statements of HCS and Shreveport Capital) are available at HCC’s website (“www.hollywoodcasino.com”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with the Commission.

Management anticipates that activity at the Shreveport Casino may be modestly seasonal, with stronger results expected during the first and third quarters. Consequently, the results of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be reported for the full year.

HCC (the ultimate parent of HCS, HCL and Shreveport Capital), Penn National Gaming, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Penn National”), and P Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn National, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 7, 2002, pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions thereof, HCC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn National through the merger of P Acquisition Corp. with

and into HCC. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Penn National, HCC and certain stockholders of HCC (who collectively control at least 50.3% of HCC’s outstanding shares) executed and delivered Stockholder Agreements, pursuant to which those stockholders have, among other things, covenanted to vote in favor of the adoption of and otherwise to support the Merger Agreement. Consequently, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and Stockholder Agreements, holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of HCC eligible to vote have agreed to vote in favor of the merger, assuring stockholder approval.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Hollywood Casino Shreveport and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership‘s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Hollywood Casino Shreveport and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ capital and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 19, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
