(1) As discussed further below in this press release, the Company
adopted United States generally accepted accounting principles
("U.S. GAAP") as its primary basis of financial reporting
commencing January 1, 2009 on a retrospective basis. In conjunction
with the adoption of U.S. GAAP, the Company also adopted the
definition of FFO prescribed in the United States effective January
1, 2009 on a retrospective basis. The results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 have been restated to
reflect the adoption of U.S. GAAP and the definition of FFO
prescribed in the United States. (2) FFO and diluted FFO per share
are measures widely used by analysts and investors in evaluating
the operating performance of real estate companies. However, FFO
does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore may
not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Please refer to "Reconciliation of Non- GAAP to GAAP Financial
Measures" below in this press release. (3) As discussed further
below in this press release, on March 5, 2009, MEC and certain of
its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the
MEC Chapter 11 filing, the Company has concluded that, under
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), it ceased to
have the ability to exert control over MEC on or about March 5,
2009. Accordingly, the Company's investment in MEC has been
deconsolidated from the Company's results beginning on March 5,
2009. The Company's results of operations for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 do not include the results of MEC and for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 include MEC's results of operations
for the period up to March 5, 2009. Transactions between the Real
Estate Business and MEC have not been eliminated in the
presentation of each segment's results of operations. However, the
effects of transactions between these two segments prior to March
5, 2009 are eliminated in the consolidated results of operations of
the Company. (4) Excludes revenues from MEC's discontinued
operations. (5) Discontinued operations represent MEC's
discontinued operations, net of certain related consolidation
adjustments. MEC's discontinued operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
include the operations of Remington Park, Thistledown, Portland
Meadows and Magna Racino(TM). In addition, MEC's discontinued
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 include
the operations of Great Lakes Downs, which was sold in July 2008.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
REAL ESTATE BUSINESS FINANCIAL RESULTS Three Months Ended June 30,
2009 Revenues were $55.2 million in the second quarter of 2009
compared to $55.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. The $0.1
million reduction in revenues is due to a $4.6 million reduction in
rental revenues, partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in
interest and other income earned from MEC. Rental revenues for the
second quarter of 2009 were $42.0 million as compared to $46.7
million in the prior year period. The decrease in rental revenues
is primarily due to foreign exchange, which had a $4.7 million
negative impact as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the foreign
currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar and the euro) in which
the Real Estate Business operates. Property vacancies and lease
replacements and renewals also had a negative impact, reducing
revenue for the quarter by $0.4 million compared to the prior year
period. These negative contributions to rental revenues were
partially offset by contractual rent adjustments, which increased
revenues by $0.5 million, primarily due to cumulative CPI-based
increases (being increases that occur every five years or once a
specified cumulative increase in CPI has occurred) and fixed
contractual rent adjustments implemented since the second quarter
of fiscal 2008. Interest and other income earned from MEC in the
second quarter of 2009 was $13.1 million as compared to $8.6
million in the prior year period. The increase in interest and
other income earned from MEC is primarily due to (i) $1.8 million
of interest and fees earned under a loan established in November
2008 (the "MEC 2008 Loan"), (ii) $1.2 million of interest and fees
earned under a debtor-in-possession loan (the "DIP Loan")
established in March 2009, (iii) a $0.9 million increase in
interest and fees earned under the bridge loan established in
September 2007 (the "2007 MEC Bridge Loan") as a result of the
increased level of borrowings and arrangement fees incurred and
(iv) $0.9 million of accretion of the fair value adjustment
recorded upon the deconsolidation of MEC (see "CHAPTER 11 FILING
AND PROCESS - Deconsolidation of MEC"). These increases in interest
and other income earned from MEC were partially offset by a $0.3
million decrease in arrangement fees recognized under the
Gulfstream Park project financing. FFO for the second quarter of
2009 was $41.5 million ($0.89 per share) compared to $37.6 million
($0.81 per share) in the prior year period, representing an
increase of 10%. This $3.9 million increase in FFO is due to
reductions of $2.0 million in general and administrative expenses,
$0.7 million in foreign exchange losses and $1.5 million in income
taxes, as well as a $0.5 million write-down of long-lived assets in
the prior year period. These increases to FFO were partially offset
by a $0.1 million reduction in revenues and a $0.7 million increase
in net interest expense. General and administrative expenses
decreased to $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 from $9.5
million in the prior year period. The decrease over the prior year
period is primarily due to a decrease in advisory and other costs,
of which $1.4 million was incurred in connection with evaluating
MID's relationship with MEC, including MID's involvement in MEC's
Chapter 11 process (see "MEC CHAPTER 11 FILING AND PROCESS") and
matters before the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") (see
"ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION HEARING"), whereas such expenses for
the prior year period include $4.3 million of advisory and other
costs related to the March 2008 reorganization proposal. This
reduction in advisory and other costs was partially offset by
increased costs related to (i) the Company's Non-Employee Director
Share-Based Compensation Plan resulting from a greater change in
the Company's share price during the second quarter of 2009 as
compared to the prior year period and (ii) increased insurance
premiums. The Real Estate Business' income tax expense for the
second quarter of 2009 was $3.2 million, representing an effective
tax rate of 9.2%, compared to income tax expense of $4.7 million
and an effective tax rate of 15.1% for the second quarter of 2008.
Excluding the $1.4 million of costs incurred in the second quarter
of 2009 in connection with evaluating MID's relationship with MEC,
including MID's involvement in MEC's Chapter 11 process and matters
before the OSC, the $4.3 million of costs associated with the March
2008 reorganization proposal incurred in the prior year period and
the related tax impact of both items, the Real Estate Business'
effective tax rate was 10.5% in the second quarter of 2009 compared
to 16.4% for the second quarter of 2008. As the jurisdictions in
which the Real Estate Business operates have different rates of
taxation, income tax expense is influenced by the proportion of
income earned in each particular country. This 5.9% reduction in
the adjusted effective tax rate is primarily due to changes in the
mix of taxable income earned in the various countries in which the
Real Estate Business operates, as well as increased interest and
other income from MEC, which is taxed in jurisdictions that have
lower rates of taxation than the Real Estate Business' overall
effective tax rate. The Real Estate Business reported net income of
$31.3 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $26.3
million in the prior year period. The $5.0 million increase in net
income is due to reductions of $2.0 million in general and
administrative expenses, $1.5 million in income tax expense, $1.2
million in depreciation and amortization (due primarily to the
impact of foreign exchange) and $0.7 million in foreign exchange
losses, as well as a $0.5 million write-down of long-lived assets
in the prior year period. These increases to net income were
partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in net interest expense
and a $0.1 million reduction in revenues. Six Months Ended June 30,
2009 Revenues were $109.0 million in the first six months of 2009
compared to $109.3 million in the first six months of 2008. The
$0.4 million reduction in revenues is due to a $10.2 million
reduction in rental revenues, partially offset by a $9.8 million
increase in interest and other income earned from MEC. Rental
revenues for the first six months of 2009 were $82.4 million as
compared to $92.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease in
rental revenues is primarily due to foreign exchange, which had a
$10.3 million negative impact as the U.S. dollar strengthened
against the foreign currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar and
the euro) in which the Real Estate Business operates. Property
vacancies and lease replacements and renewals also had a negative
impact, reducing revenue for the first six months of 2009 by $1.0
million compared to the prior year period. These negative
contributions to rental revenues were partially offset by
contractual rent adjustments, which increased revenues by $1.2
million, primarily due to cumulative CPI-based increases (being
increases that occur every five years or once a specified
cumulative increase in CPI has occurred) and fixed contractual rent
adjustments implemented since the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Interest and other income earned from MEC in the first six months
of 2009 was $26.6 million as compared to $16.8 million in the prior
year period. The increase in interest and other income earned from
MEC is primarily due to (i) $4.6 million of interest and fees
earned under the MEC 2008 Loan, (ii) a $3.6 million increase in
interest and fees earned from the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan as a result
of the increased level of borrowings and arrangement fees incurred,
(iii) a $1.3 million increase in arrangement fees recognized under
the Gulfstream Park project financing, (iv) $1.3 million of
interest and fees earned under the DIP Loan and (v) $1.2 million of
accretion of the fair value adjustment recorded upon the
deconsolidation of MEC (see "CHAPTER 11 FILING AND PROCESS -
Deconsolidation of MEC"). The increase in interest and other income
earned from MEC was partially offset by a $2.4 million reduction to
the carrying value of the MEC loan facilities at the Petition Date
(as defined below), reflecting the fact that certain of the MEC
loan facilities bear interest at a fixed rate of 10.5% per annum,
which is not considered to be reflective of the market rate of
interest that would have been used had such facilities been
established on the Petition Date. FFO for the first six months of
2009 was $76.4 million ($1.64 per share) compared to $79.5 million
($1.70 per share) in the prior year period, representing a decrease
of 4%. This $3.2 million reduction in FFO is due to a $0.4 million
reduction in revenues, increases of $5.4 million in general and
administrative expenses and $0.9 million in net interest expense,
the $0.5 million adjustment to the carrying values of the MEC loan
facilities on deconsolidation of MEC (see "CHAPTER 11 FILING AND
PROCESS - Deconsolidation of MEC") and $3.9 million of other gains
in the prior year period. These reductions to FFO were partially
offset by reductions of $0.7 million in foreign exchange losses and
$6.7 million in income tax expense, as well as a $0.5 million
write-down of long-lived assets in the prior year period. General
and administrative expenses increased to $19.4 million for the
first six months of 2009 from $14.0 million in the prior year
period. The increase over the prior year period is primarily due to
$8.4 million of advisory and other costs incurred in connection
with the November 2008 reorganization proposal and evaluating MID's
relationship with MEC, including MID's involvement in MEC's Chapter
11 process, the Stalking Horse Bid and the DIP Loan (see "MEC
CHAPTER 11 FILING AND PROCESS") and matters before the OSC (see
"ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION HEARING"), whereas expenses for the
prior year period include $4.3 million of advisory and other costs
related to the March 2008 reorganization proposal. The additional
increase in general and administrative expenses is due to increased
costs related to (i) the Company's Non-Employee Director
Share-Based Compensation Plan resulting from a greater change in
the Company's share price during the second quarter of 2009 as
compared to the prior year period and (ii) increased insurance
premiums. The Real Estate Business' income tax expense for the
first six months of 2009 was $6.4 million, representing an
effective tax rate of 10.2%, compared to income tax expense of
$13.1 million and an effective tax rate of 18.7% for the first six
months of 2008. Excluding the $8.4 million of costs incurred in the
first six months of 2009 in connection with the November 2008
reorganization proposal and evaluating MID's relationship with MEC,
including MID's involvement in MEC's Chapter 11 process and matters
before the OSC, the $4.3 million of costs associated with the March
2008 reorganization proposal incurred in the prior year period, the
$3.9 million lease termination fee received in the prior year
period and the related tax impact of these items, the Real Estate
Business' effective tax rate was 12.8% in the first six months of
2009 compared to 17.9% for the first six months of 2008. As the
jurisdictions in which the Real Estate Business operates have
different rates of taxation, income tax expense is influenced by
the proportion of income earned in each particular country. This
5.1% reduction in the adjusted effective tax rate is primarily due
to changes in the mix of taxable income earned in the various
countries in which the Real Estate Business operates, as well as
increased interest and other income from MEC, which is taxed in
jurisdictions that have lower rates of taxation than the Real
Estate Business' overall effective tax rate. The Real Estate
Business reported net income of $56.5 million for the first six
months of 2009 compared to $57.1 million in the prior year period.
The $0.6 million decrease in net income is due to increases of $5.4
million in general and administrative expenses and $0.9 million in
net interest expense, the $3.9 million of other gains in the prior
year period, the $0.5 million adjustment to the carrying values of
the MEC loan facilities on deconsolidation of MEC (see "CHAPTER 11
FILING AND PROCESS - Deconsolidation of MEC") and a $0.4 million
reduction in revenues. These reductions to net income were
partially offset by reductions of $6.7 million in income tax
expense, $2.5 million in depreciation and amortization (due
primarily to the impact of foreign exchange) and $0.7 million in
foreign exchange losses, as well as a $0.5 million write-down
recorded in the prior year period. At June 30, 2009, the Real
Estate Business had 27.3 million square feet of leaseable area,
with annualized lease payments of $170.7 million, representing a
return of 10.9% on the gross aggregate carrying value of our
income-producing portfolio. MEC CHAPTER 11 FILING AND PROCESS On
March 5, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), MEC and certain of its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court") and
were granted recognition of the Chapter 11 proceedings from the
Ontario Superior Court of Justice under section 18.6 of the
Companies\' Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada. MID, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary (the "MID Lender"), is the largest secured
creditor of MEC. At the Petition Date, the balance of MID's
existing loans to MEC, including accrued interest, was
approximately $372 million, comprised of $171 million under the
Gulfstream Park project financing, $23 million under the Remington
Park project financing, $125 million under the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan
and $53 million under the 2008 MEC Loan. At June 30, 2009,
approximately $386 million (including accrued interest subsequent
to the Petition Date) was outstanding under these loan facilities.
All of these loans are secured. In addition, the Company owned
approximately 54% of MEC's total equity, representing approximately
96% of the total votes attached to MEC's outstanding stock. There
can be no assurance given as to the treatment the MID Lender's
claims will receive in the Debtors' Chapter 11 proceedings,
although, as a general matter, secured creditors are entitled to
priority over unsecured creditors to the extent of the value of the
collateral securing such claims. Subject to the uncertainties of
MEC's Chapter 11 process, MID management believes that the MID
Lender's claims are adequately secured and therefore has no reason
to believe that the amount of the MEC loan facilities with the MID
Lender is impaired. However, on July 21, 2009, the MID Lender was
named as a defendant in an action commenced by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in connection
with MEC's Chapter 11 proceedings. The Committee's action seeks,
among other things, recharacterization as equity of the MID
Lender's claims in relation to the indebtedness previously advanced
to MEC and its subsidiaries, equitable subordination of the MID
Lender's claims against the debtors in the Chapter 11 proceedings
and the avoidance of allegedly fraudulent transfers to the MID
Lender, including fees, interest and principal repayments received
prior to the initiation of the Chapter 11 process. In addition, the
Committee has sought leave of the Court to pursue a separate action
against MID, the MID Lender and additional parties, including Mr.
Frank Stronach, that alleges, among other things, breach of
fiduciary duty owed to MEC and its creditors. Although MID and the
MID Lender believe that the Committee's claims are without merit
and intend to contest them vigorously, MID can provide no assurance
as to the ultimate outcome of the Committee's action. DIP Loan In
connection with the Debtors' Chapter 11 filing, MID (through the
MID Lender) originally agreed to provide to MEC the DIP Loan in the
amount of up to $62.5 million and with a term of six months. On
April 20, 2009, the DIP Loan was amended to, among other things,
(i) extend the maturity from September 6, 2009 to November 6, 2009
in order to allow for a longer marketing period in connection with
MEC's asset sales and (ii) reduce the principal amount available
from $62.5 million to $38.4 million, with the reduction
attributable to the fact that interest on the pre-petition loan
facilities between MEC and the MID Lender will accrue during the
Chapter 11 process rather than being paid currently in cash. At
June 30, 2009, $20.8 million was due under the DIP Loan. Subsequent
to June 30, 2009, an additional $7.0 million has been drawn under
the DIP Loan. The DIP Loan is secured by liens on substantially all
assets of MEC and its subsidiaries (subject to prior ranking
liens), as well as a pledge of capital stock of certain guarantors.
MEC Asset Sales MEC's Chapter 11 filing contemplates MEC selling
all or substantially all of its assets through an auction process
and using the proceeds from the asset sales to repay its creditors,
including the MID Lender. On the Petition Date, and subject to
Court approval, MID entered into an agreement with MEC to purchase
MEC's relevant interests associated with certain assets (the
"Stalking Horse Bid"). However, on April 20, 2009, in response to
objections raised by a number of parties in the MEC Chapter 11
process and with the intent of expediting that process, MID and MEC
terminated the Stalking Horse Bid. On May 11, 2009, the Court
approved the bid procedures for MEC's interests associated with the
following assets (the "Bid Procedures Assets"): Santa Anita Park
(including MEC's joint venture interest in the Shops at Santa
Anita); Remington Park; Lone Star Park; Thistledown; Portland
Meadows; StreuFex(TM); vacant lands located in Ocala, Florida; and
vacant lands located in Dixon, California. Initial expressions of
interest for the Bid Procedures Assets were submitted on May 27,
2009 by interested parties. On or prior to the July 31, 2009
deadline, additional expressions of interest and definitive bids
were received by MEC in relation to certain of the Bid Procedures
Assets and MEC is currently in discussions with various third
parties regarding potential stalking horse bids for several of such
assets. MID has stated that it does not intend to submit a bid for
any of the Bid Procedures Assets; provided, however, that MID
intends to preserve the value of its secured loans to MEC and will
take all available steps to prevent fire sales of the Bid
Procedures Assets. On July 31, 2009, the Court approved the
Debtors' motion for authorization to sell for 6.5 million euros the
assets of one of MEC's non- debtor Austrian subsidiaries, which
assets include Magna Racino(TM) and surrounding lands, to an entity
affiliated with Fair Enterprise Limited, a company that forms part
of an estate planning vehicle for the Stronach family, certain
members of which are trustees of the Stronach Trust, MID's
controlling shareholder. On August 4, 2009, the Debtors filed a
motion with the Court seeking authorization to sell, subject to
higher and better offers, certain real property located in Ocala,
Florida for $5.75 million to an entity related with Fair Enterprise
Limited. Pursuant to the motion, all valid liens of the MID Lender
will attach to the proceeds of the sale of the Ocala property. A
hearing on the motion is scheduled for August 26, 2009. On August
12, 2009, the Debtors filed a motion with the Court seeking
authorization to sell, subject to higher and better offers,
Remington Park for $80.25 million to a third party. Pursuant to the
motion, all valid liens of the MID Lender will attach to the
proceeds of the sale of Remington Park. A hearing on the motion has
been requested for August 26, 2009. MEC has advised the Court that
it is continuing to explore all alternatives with respect to its
remaining assets, and although the Stalking Horse Bid has been
terminated, MID is continuing to evaluate whether to bid on MEC
assets during the course of MEC's Chapter 11 sales process (subject
to the outcome of the OSC hearing described below (see "ONTARIO
SECURITIES COMMISSION HEARING")). Deconsolidation of MEC As a
result of the MEC Chapter 11 filing, the Company has concluded
that, under GAAP, it ceased to have the ability to exert control
over MEC on or about the Petition Date. Accordingly, the Company's
investment in MEC has been deconsolidated from the Company's
results beginning on the Petition Date. GAAP requires the carrying
values of any investment in, and amounts due from, a deconsolidated
subsidiary to be adjusted to their fair value at the date of
deconsolidation. In light of the significant uncertainty as to
whether MEC shareholders, including MID, will receive any recovery
following MEC's reorganization, the carrying value of MID's equity
investment in MEC was reduced to zero. Upon deconsolidation of MEC,
the Company recorded an aggregate $46.7 million reduction to the
carrying values of its investment in, and amounts due from, MEC,
which is included in the Company's consolidated statement of income
(loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Included in this
aggregate amount is a $0.5 million reduction in the carrying values
of the MEC loan facilities with the MID Lender at the Petition
Date. Although, subject to the uncertainties of MEC's Chapter 11
process, MID management believes that the MID Lender's claims are
adequately secured and therefore has no reason to believe that the
amount of the MEC loan facilities with the MID Lender is impaired,
the $0.5 million reduction in the carrying values of the MEC loan
facilities was required under GAAP, reflecting the fact that
certain of the MEC loan facilities bear interest at a fixed rate of
10.5% per annum, which is not considered to be reflective of the
market rate of interest that would have been used had such
facilities been established on the Petition Date. The Company's
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements attached below
have been arranged so as to provide detailed, discrete financial
information on the Real Estate Business and, for the period prior
to the Petition Date, MEC. The deconsolidation of MEC affects
virtually all of the Company's reported revenue, expense, asset and
liability balances, thus significantly limiting the comparability
from period to period of the Company's consolidated statements of
income (loss), consolidated statements of cash flows and
consolidated balance sheets. As a result, the remaining content of
this press release focuses solely on the operating results,
financial condition, cash flows and liquidity of the Real Estate
Business. For further details of MEC's Chapter 11 filing and the
treatment of stockholders and creditors, the DIP Loan and the
deconsolidation of MEC, please refer to notes 1(a) and 19(a)(iv) to
the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements below. ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION HEARING On August
11, 2009, MID announced that, at the request of certain MID Class A
shareholders, the OSC has called a hearing regarding MID's ability
to rely on certain exemptions from the requirements to obtain
minority shareholder approval and formal valuations under
Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions in respect of transactions with
MEC. MID believes that the application of the MID Class A
shareholders is without merit and MID will vigorously defend
against the application. The hearing will commence on September 9,
2009. ADOPTION OF UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES In April 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board
confirmed the transition from Canadian GAAP to International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for all publicly accountable
entities no later than fiscal years commencing on or after January
1, 2011. As a result, in the second half of 2008, management
undertook a detailed review of the implications of MID having to
report under IFRS and also examined the alternative available to
MID of filing its primary financial statements in Canada using U.S.
GAAP, as permitted by the Canadian Securities Administrators'
National Instrument 52- 107, "Acceptable Accounting Principles,
Auditing Standards and Reporting Currency", given that MID is a
Foreign Private Issuer in the United States. As a result of this
analysis, management recommended and the Board determined that MID
should adopt U.S. GAAP as its primary basis of financial reporting
commencing January 1, 2009 on a retrospective basis. All
comparative financial information contained in this press release
and the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements below have been revised to reflect the Company's results
as if they had been historically reported in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. The adoption of U.S. GAAP did not have a material change on
the Company's accounting policies or current debt covenants, nor
did such adoption require significant changes to the Company's
existing internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures, or information and data systems. For
further details of the differences between U.S. and Canadian GAAP
impacting the Company and a reconciliation of the Company's results
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 and financial position as at June 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008 from U.S. GAAP to Canadian GAAP, see notes 1(e) and 21 to the
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
below. In conjunction with the Company's adoption of U.S. GAAP as
its primary basis of financial reporting, the Company has adopted
the definition of FFO prescribed in the United States by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts(R) ("NAREIT")
effective January 1, 2009 on a retrospective basis. The Company
previously determined FFO using the definition prescribed in Canada
by the Real Property Association of Canada ("REALpac"). Under the
definition of FFO prescribed by NAREIT, the impact of future income
taxes and asset impairments are included in the calculation of FFO
whereas such amounts are excluded in the definition of FFO
prescribed by REALpac. The discussion in this press release is
based on the Company's results of operations as reported under U.S.
GAAP and FFO, FFO per share and diluted FFO per share for all
periods presented have been determined in accordance with the
definition prescribed by NAREIT. DIVIDENDS MID's Board of Directors
has declared a dividend of $0.15 per share on MID's Class A
Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2009. The dividend is payable on or about September
15, 2009 to shareholders of record at the close of business on
August 28, 2009. Unless indicated otherwise, MID has designated the
entire amount of all past and future taxable dividends paid since
January 1, 2006 to be an "eligible dividend" for purposes of the
Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended from time to time. Please
contact your tax advisor if you have any questions with regard to
the designation of eligible dividends. ABOUT MID MID is a real
estate operating company engaged primarily in the acquisition,
development, construction, leasing, management, and ownership of a
predominantly industrial rental portfolio leased primarily to Magna

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The contents of this press release
contain statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of
historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of applicable securities legislation, including the United
States Securities Act of 1933 and the United States Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may include, among
others, statements regarding the Company's future plans, goals,
strategies, intentions, beliefs, estimates, costs, objectives,
economic performance or expectations, or the assumptions underlying
any of the foregoing. Words such as "may", "would", "could",
"will", "likely", "expect", "anticipate", "believe", "intend",
"plan", "forecast", "project", "estimate" and similar expressions
are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance
or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of
whether or the times at or by which such future performance will be
achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available at
the time and/or management's good faith assumptions and analyses
made in light of our perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other
factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances, and are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond the Company's
control, that could cause actual events or results to differ
materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors
that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to,
the risks and uncertainties inherent in MEC's Chapter 11 process
(see note 1(a) to the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements below), including in relation to the treatment
of stockholders and creditors and the auction of MEC's assets, the
outcome of the Ontario Securities Commission hearing, and the risks
set forth in the "Risk Factors" section in MID's Annual Information
Form for 2008, filed on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com/ and attached
as Exhibit 1 to MID's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended
December 31, 2008, which investors are strongly advised to review.
The "Risk Factors" section also contains information about the
material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
the statement was made and unless otherwise required by applicable
securities laws, MID expressly disclaims any intention and
undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements contained in this MD A to reflect subsequent
information, events or circumstances or otherwise. MI Developments

Financial Statements (All amounts in U.S. dollars and all tabular

six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited) 1.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MI Developments Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "MID" or
the "Company"). MID is a real estate operating company engaged
primarily in the acquisition, development, construction, leasing,
management and ownership of a predominantly industrial rental
portfolio leased primarily to Magna International Inc. and its
automotive operating units ("Magna") in North America and Europe.
MID also acquires land that it intends to develop for mixed-use and
residential projects. (a) Magna Entertainment Corp. The Company
also holds a majority equity interest in Magna Entertainment Corp.
("MEC"), an owner and operator of horse racetracks and a supplier
of live horseracing content to the inter- track, off-track and
account wagering markets. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
the Company owned approximately 54% of MEC's total equity,
representing approximately 96% of the total votes attached to MEC's
outstanding stock. Chapter 11 Filing and Process On March 5, 2009
(the "Petition Date"), MEC and certain of its subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Court") and were granted
recognition of the Chapter 11 proceedings from the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice under section 18.6 of the Companies' Creditors
Arrangement Act in Canada. At the Petition Date, MEC owed $371.7
million to a wholly-owned subsidiary of MID (the "MID Lender")
under various loan facilities (note 19(a)). MEC filed for Chapter
11 protection in order to implement a comprehensive financial
restructuring and conduct an orderly sales process for its assets
(see note 2 for further details of the MEC asset sales process).
Under Chapter 11, the Debtors are operating as
"debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Court and in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
and orders of the Court. In general, the Debtors are authorized
under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but
may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of
business without the prior approval of the Court. The filing of the
Chapter 11 petitions constituted an event of default under certain
of MEC's debt obligations, including those with the MID Lender, and
those debt obligations became automatically and immediately due and
payable. However, subject to certain exceptions under the
Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors' Chapter 11 filing automatically
enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or
administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or
their property to recover on, collect or secure a claim arising
prior to the Petition Date. The Company has not guaranteed any of
MEC's debt obligations or other commitments. Under the priority
scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree
to different treatment, allowed pre-petition claims and allowed
post-petition expenses must be satisfied in full before
stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution or retain any
property in a Chapter 11 proceeding. MEC's Class A Subordinate
Voting Stock ("MEC Class A Stock") was delisted from the Toronto
Stock Exchange effective at the close of market on April 1, 2009
and from the Nasdaq Stock Market effective at the opening of
business on April 6, 2009. The ultimate recovery to MID, as a
stockholder of MEC, if any, in the Debtors' Chapter 11 proceedings
will likely not be determined until the proceedings are
substantially complete. In this regard, however, such proceedings
are likely to result in MID not receiving any value for its
existing MEC stock and in the cancellation of such stock.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given as to the treatment the MID
Lender's claims will receive in the Debtors' Chapter 11
proceedings, although, as a general matter, secured creditors are
entitled to priority over unsecured creditors to the extent of the
value of the collateral securing such claims. Subject to the
uncertainties of MEC's Chapter 11 process, MID management believes
that the MID Lender's claims are adequately secured and therefore
has no reason to believe that the amount of the MEC loan facilities
with the MID Lender is impaired. However, on July 21, 2009, the MID
Lender was named as a defendant in an action commenced by the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in
connection with the MEC Chapter 11 proceedings. The Committee's
action seeks, among other things, recharacterization as equity of
the MID Lender's claims in relation to the indebtedness previously
advanced to MEC and its subsidiaries, equitable subordination of
the MID Lender's claims against the debtors in the Chapter 11
proceedings and the avoidance of allegedly fraudulent transfers to
the MID Lender, including fees, interest and principal repayments
received prior to the initiation of the Chapter 11 process. In
addition, the Committee has sought leave of the Court to pursue a
separate action against MID, the MID Lender and additional parties,
including Mr. Frank Stronach, that alleges, among other things,
breach of fiduciary duty owed to MEC and its creditors. Although
MID and the MID Lender believe that the Committee's claims are
without merit and intend to contest them vigorously, MID can
provide no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the Committee's
action. DIP Loan In connection with the Debtors' Chapter 11 filing,
MID (through the MID Lender) is providing to MEC a secured
debtor-in-possession financing facility (the "DIP Loan") of up to
$38.4 million (see note 19(a)(iv) for further details of the DIP
Loan). Deconsolidation of MEC As a result of the MEC Chapter 11
filing, the Company has concluded that, under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), it ceased to have the ability to
exert control over MEC on or about the Petition Date. Accordingly,
the Company's investment in MEC has been deconsolidated from the
Company's results beginning on the Petition Date. GAAP requires the
carrying values of any investment in, and amounts due from, a
deconsolidated subsidiary to be adjusted to their fair value at the
date of deconsolidation. In light of the significant uncertainty as
to whether MEC shareholders, including MID, will receive any
recovery following MEC's reorganization, the carrying value of
MID's equity investment in MEC has been reduced to zero. Although,
subject to the uncertainties of MEC's Chapter 11 process, MID
management believes that the MID Lender's claims are adequately
secured and therefore has no reason to believe that the amount of
the MEC loan facilities with the MID Lender is impaired, a
reduction in the carrying values of the MEC loan facilities (note
19(a)) at the Petition Date was required under GAAP, reflecting the
fact that certain of the MEC loan facilities bear interest at a
fixed rate of 10.5% per annum, which is not considered to be
reflective of the market rate of interest that would have been used
had such facilities been established on the Petition Date. The fair
value of the loans receivable from MEC was determined at the
Petition Date based on the estimated future cash flows of the loans
receivable from MEC being discounted to the Petition Date using a
discount rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus 12.0%. The discount rate is equal to the interest rate charged
on the DIP Loan that was implemented as of the Petition Date, and
therefore is considered to approximate a reasonable market interest
rate for the MEC loan facilities for this purpose. Accordingly,
upon deconsolidation of MEC, the Real Estate Business reduced its
carrying values of the MEC loan facilities by $0.5 million (net of
derecognizing $1.9 million of unamortized deferred arrangement fees
at the Petition Date). As a result, the adjusted aggregate carrying
value of the MEC loan facilities at the Petition Date was $2.4
million less than the aggregate face value of the MEC loan
facilities. The adjusted carrying values will accrete up to the
face value of the MEC loan facilities over the estimated period of
time before the loans will be repaid, with such accretion being
recognized in "interest and other income from MEC" on the Company's
consolidated statement of income (loss). Prior to the Petition
Date, MEC's results are consolidated with the Company's results,
with outside ownership accounted for as a noncontrolling interest.
As of the Petition Date, the Company's consolidated balance sheet
included MEC's net assets of $84.3 million. As of the Petition
Date, the Company's total equity also included accumulated other
comprehensive income of $19.8 million and a noncontrolling interest
of $18.3 million related to MEC. Upon deconsolidation of MEC, the
Company recorded a $46.7 million reduction to the carrying values
of its investment in, and amounts due from, MEC, which is computed
as follows: Reversal of MEC's net assets $ (84,345)

income (note 14) 19,850 Reclassification to income of the
noncontrolling interest in MEC (note 15) 18,322

(b) Consolidated Financial Statements The unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S.
dollars following GAAP in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") as
further discussed in note 1(e) and the accounting policies as set
out in notes 1 and 25 to the annual consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. The unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all
respects to the requirements of GAAP for annual financial
statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2008. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are of a normal recurring nature except as disclosed in note 1(a),
necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and
2008. (c) Segmented Information The Company's reportable segments
reflect how the Company is organized and managed by senior
management. Prior to the Petition Date (note 1(a)), the Company's
operations have been segmented in the Company's internal financial
reports between wholly-owned operations ("Real Estate Business")
and publicly- traded operations ("Magna Entertainment Corp."). This
segregation of operations between wholly-owned and publicly-traded
operations recognized the fact that, in the case of the Real Estate
Business, the Company's Board of Directors and executive management
have direct responsibility for the key operating, financing and
resource allocation decisions, whereas, in the case of MEC, such
responsibility resides with MEC's separate Board of Directors and
executive management. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Company
manages and evaluates its operations as a single "Real Estate
Business" reporting segment, rather than multiple reporting
segments, for internal purposes and for internal decision making.
At June 30, 2009, the Real Estate Business owns income-producing
real estate assets in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Austria,
Germany, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Spain and Poland.
Substantially all of these real estate assets are leased to Magna's
automotive operating units. The Real Estate Business also owns
certain properties that are being held for future development or
sale. Financial data and related measurements for the periods prior
to the Petition Date are presented on the consolidated statements
of income (loss), consolidated statements of cash flows, and
consolidated balance sheets in two categories, "Real Estate
Business" and "Magna Entertainment Corp.", which correspond to the
Company's reporting segments prior to the Petition Date.
Transactions and balances between the "Real Estate Business" and
"Magna Entertainment Corp." segments have not been eliminated in
the presentation of each segment's financial data and related
measurements. However, the effects of transactions between these
two segments, which are further described in note 19(a), are
eliminated in the consolidated results of operations and financial
position of the Company for periods prior to the Petition Date. (d)
Seasonality MEC's racing business is seasonal in nature and racing
revenues and operating results for any period will not be
indicative of the racing revenues and operating results for any
year. MEC's racing operations have historically operated at a loss
in the second half of the year, with the third quarter typically
generating the largest operating loss. This seasonality has
resulted in large quarterly fluctuations in MEC's revenues and
operating results included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements prior to the Petition Date (note 1(a)). (e) Accounting
Changes Adoption of United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles In April 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board
confirmed the transition from GAAP in Canada ("Canadian GAAP") to
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for all
publicly accountable entities no later than fiscal years commencing
on or after January 1, 2011. As a result, during the third and
fourth quarters of 2008, management undertook a detailed review of
the implications of MID having to report under IFRS and also
examined the alternative available to MID of filing its primary
financial statements in Canada using U.S. GAAP, as permitted by the
Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 52-107,
"Acceptable Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Reporting
Currency", given that MID is a Foreign Private Issuer in the United
States. In carrying out this evaluation, management considered many
factors, including, but not limited to, (i) the changes in
accounting policies that would be required and the resulting impact
on the Company's reported results and key performance indicators,
(ii) the reporting standards expected to be used by many of the
Company's industry comparables, (iii) the financial reporting needs
of the Company's market participants, including shareholders,
lenders, rating agencies and market analysts, and (iv) the current
reporting standards in use by, and local reporting needs of, MID's
material foreign subsidiaries. As a result of this analysis,
management recommended and the Board determined that MID should
adopt U.S. GAAP as its primary basis of financial reporting
commencing January 1, 2009 on a retrospective basis. All
comparative financial information contained in the unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements has been revised to
reflect the Company's results as if they had been historically
reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see note 21 for a
reconciliation to Canadian GAAP). For details of the cumulative
impact of adopting U.S. GAAP on the Company's consolidated
financial position at January 1, 2008, refer to note 25 to the
Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2008. For details of the cumulative impact of
adopting U.S. GAAP on the Company's consolidated financial position
at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and on the Company's
consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, refer to note 21 to
these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Business
Combinations In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards # 141(R), "Applying the Acquisition Method" ("SFAS
141(R)"), which modifies the accounting for business combinations
occurring in fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2008. The
most significant changes under SFAS 141(R) are as follows: - Upon
initially obtaining control, an acquirer will recognize 100% of the
fair values of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed
liabilities, with only limited exceptions, even if the acquirer has
not acquired 100% of its target. - Contingent consideration
arrangements will be fair valued at the acquisition date and
included on that basis in the purchase price consideration. -
Transaction costs are not an element of fair value of the target,
so they are not considered part of the fair value of an acquirer's
interest. Instead, transaction costs will be expensed as incurred.
- Pre-acquisition contingencies, such as environmental or legal
issues, meeting a "more likely than not" threshold will have to be
accounted for in purchase accounting at fair value. - In order to
accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting, the
requirements in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #
146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities", would have to be met at the acquisition date. -
Acquired research and development value will be capitalized as an
indefinite-lived intangible asset, subjected to impairment
accounting throughout the associated development stage and then
subject to amortization and impairment accounting after development
is completed. Costs incurred to continue these research and
development efforts after acquisition will be expensed. The
adoption by the Company of SFAS 141(R) effective January 1, 2009
did not have any impact on the Company's unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling Interests In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards # 160, "Noncontrolling Interests" ("SFAS 160"), which is
effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2008 and
clarifies the classification of noncontrolling interests
(previously referred to as "minority interests") in consolidated
balance sheets and the accounting for and reporting of transactions
between the reporting entity and holders of such noncontrolling
interests. The most significant changes under the new rules are as
follows: - Noncontrolling interests are to be reported as an
element of consolidated equity. - Net income and comprehensive
income will encompass the total of such amounts of all consolidated
subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of
the consolidated statements of income (loss) and statements of
comprehensive income (loss) of the attribution of such amounts
between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. - Increases
and decreases in the noncontrolling ownership interest amount will
be accounted for as equity transactions rather than those
differences being accounted for using step acquisition and sale
accounting, respectively. If an issuance of noncontrolling
interests causes the controlling interest to lose control and
deconsolidate a subsidiary, that transaction will be accounted for
using full gain or loss recognition. In accordance with the
transition rules of SFAS 160, the Company has adopted SFAS 160
effective January 1, 2009 on a prospective basis, except that the
presentation and disclosure requirements are to be applied
retrospectively for all periods presented. As a result of the
adoption, the Company has reported its noncontrolling interest in
MEC as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and
the net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest
in MEC has been separately identified in the statements of income
(loss). Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In March
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #
161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement # 133" ("SFAS 161").
SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an
entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 does
not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial
adoption. The Company has adopted SFAS 161 effective January 1,
2009 on a prospective basis. Disclosures regarding the Company's
use of, and accounting for, derivative financial instruments were
previously made in notes 1 and 21 to the annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and do
not differ materially at June 30, 2009, except for the disclosures
required by SFAS 161 in note 18 to these unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements. Other than these incremental
disclosures, the adoption of SFAS 161 did not have any impact on
the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Useful Life of Intangible Assets In April 2008, the FASB issued
Staff Position FAS 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets" ("FSP FAS 142-3"), which amends the factors that
must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost
of a recognized intangible asset under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards # 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142"). FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to consider its own
assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the
arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, in an
attempt to improve the consistency between the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the asset's fair value under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards # 141, "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141"). In current practice, the useful life is
often shorter under SFAS 142 than under SFAS 141, as SFAS 142
previously specified that renewals should be considered only if
they can be achieved without incurring substantial cost or
materiality modifying the arrangement. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires
several incremental disclosures for renewable intangible assets.
FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. The guidance for
determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must
be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the
effective date. Accordingly, adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 did not have
any impact on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements. Subsequent Events In May 2009, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards # 165,
"Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"), which establishes general
accounting standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the
financial statements are issued or available to be issued. SFAS 165
is effective for annual and interim periods ending after June 15,
2009 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through the issuance of the unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements on August 13, 2009. 2. MEC ASSET
SALES MEC's Chapter 11 filing (note 1(a)) contemplates MEC selling
all or substantially all of its assets through an auction process.
On the Petition Date, MID entered into an agreement with MEC,
subject to Court approval, to purchase MEC's relevant interests
associated with certain specified assets (the "Stalking Horse
Bid"). However, on April 20, 2009, in response to objections raised
by a number of parties in the MEC Chapter 11 process and with the
intent of expediting that process, MID and MEC terminated the
Stalking Horse Bid. On May 11, 2009, the Court approved the bid
procedures for MEC's interests associated with the following assets
(the "Bid Procedures Assets"): Santa Anita Park (including MEC's
joint venture interest in the Shops at Santa Anita); Remington
Park; Lone Star Park; Thistledown; Portland Meadows; StreuFex(TM);
vacant lands located in Ocala, Florida; and vacant lands located in
Dixon, California. Initial expressions of interest for the Bid
Procedures Assets were submitted on May 27, 2009 by interested
parties. On or prior to the July 31, 2009 deadline, additional
expressions of interest and definitive bids were received by MEC in
relation to certain of the Bid Procedures Assets and MEC is
currently in discussions with various third parties regarding
potential stalking horse bids for several of such assets. MID has
stated that it does not intend to submit a bid for any of the Bid
Procedures Assets; provided, however, that MID intends to preserve
the value of its secured loans to MEC and will take all available
steps to prevent fire sales of the Bid Procedures Assets. On July
31, 2009, the Court approved the Debtors' motion for authorization
to sell for 6.5 million euros the assets of one of MEC's non-debtor
Austrian subsidiaries, which assets include Magna Racino(TM) and
surrounding lands, to an entity affiliated with Fair Enterprise
Limited, a company that forms part of an estate planning vehicle
for the Stronach family, certain members of which are trustees of
the Stronach Trust, MID's controlling shareholder. On August 4,
2009, the Debtors filed a motion with the Court seeking
authorization to sell, subject to higher and better offers, certain
real property located in Ocala, Florida for $5.75 million to an
entity related with Fair Enterprise Limited. Pursuant to the
motion, all valid liens of the MID Lender will attach to the
proceeds of the sale of the Ocala property. A hearing on the motion
is scheduled for August 26, 2009. On August 12, 2009, the Debtors
filed a motion with the Court seeking authorization to sell,
subject to higher and better offers, Remington Park for $80.25
million to a third party. Pursuant to the motion, all valid liens
of the MID Lender will attach to the proceeds of the sale of
Remington Park. A hearing on the motion has been requested for
August 26, 2009. MEC has advised the Court that it is continuing to
explore all alternatives with respect to its remaining assets, and
although the Stalking Horse Bid has been terminated, MID is
continuing to evaluate whether to bid on MEC assets during the
course of MEC's Chapter 11 sales process, subject to the outcome of
the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") hearing as discussed
in note 19(e). 3. TERMINATION OF NOVEMBER 2008 REORGANIZATION
PROPOSAL On November 26, 2008, MID announced that its Special
Committee of independent directors had recommended, and MID's Board
of Directors (the "Board") had approved, holding a vote of MID
shareholders on a reorganization proposal developed by MID
management (the "November 2008 Reorganization Proposal"). The
principal components of the November 2008 Reorganization Proposal
are set out in MID's press release dated November 26, 2008, which
can be found on the Company's website at
http://www.midevelopments.com/ and on SEDAR at
http://www.sedar.com/. As a result of, among other things, current
global economic conditions, the continued disruptions in the
financial markets and ongoing uncertainty in the automotive
industry, MID determined that it was unlikely that it would be able
to arrange the new debt financing associated with the November 2008
Reorganization Proposal, nor would it be prudent to raise the new
debt until such time as the ongoing uncertainty in the automotive
industry has been resolved. As a result, on February 18, 2009, MID
announced that it was not proceeding with the November 2008
Reorganization Proposal. During the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2009, MID incurred $1.4 million and $8.4
million, respectively, of advisory and other costs in connection
with the November 2008 Reorganization Proposal and MID's
involvement in MEC's Chapter 11 process (including the Stalking
Horse Bid (note 2) and the DIP Loan (note 19(a)), which costs are
included in the Real Estate Business' "general and administrative"
expenses on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated statements
of income (loss). 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On September 12, 2007,
MEC's Board of Directors approved a debt elimination plan (the "MEC
Debt Elimination Plan") to generate funds from, among other things,
the sale of Great Lakes Downs in Michigan, Thistledown in Ohio,
Remington Park in Oklahoma City and MEC's interest in Portland
Meadows in Oregon. In September 2007, MEC engaged a U.S. investment
bank to assist in soliciting potential purchasers and managing the
sale process for certain of these assets. In October 2007, the U.S.
investment bank began marketing Thistledown and Remington Park for
sale and initiated an active program to locate potential buyers.
However, MEC subsequently took over the sales process from the U.S.
investment bank and was in discussions with potential buyers of
these assets prior to the Petition Date. In November 2007, MEC
initiated a program to locate a buyer for Portland Meadows and was
marketing for sale its interest in this property prior to the
Petition Date. In March 2008, MEC committed to a plan to sell Magna
Racino(TM). MEC had initiated a program to locate potential buyers
and, prior to the Petition Date, was marketing the assets for sale
through a real estate agent. For additional details on the sales
process for Magna Racino(TM), see note 2. On July 16, 2008, MEC
completed the sale of Great Lakes Downs in Michigan for cash
consideration of $5.0 million. MEC's results of operations related
to discontinued operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and MEC's assets and
liabilities related to discontinued operations as at June 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, are shown in the following tables: Three

MEC announced its intention to sell real estate properties located
in Dixon, California and Ocala, Florida. Prior to the Petition
Date, MEC was marketing these properties for sale and had listed
them with real estate brokers. For additional details on the sales
process for the Ocala property, see note 2. (b) In March 2008, MEC
committed to a plan to sell excess real estate in Oberwaltersdorf,
Austria. On March 5, 2009, MEC announced that one of its
subsidiaries in Austria had entered into an agreement to sell to a
subsidiary of Magna approximately 100 acres of real estate,
including the excess real estate in Oberwaltersdorf, Austria, for a
purchase price of approximately 4.6 million euros ($6.0 million).
The transaction was completed on April 28, 2009. MEC's assets
classified as held for sale and corresponding liabilities are shown

long-lived assets are identified as held for sale, the carrying
value is reduced, if necessary, to the estimated net realizable
value. Net realizable value is evaluated at each interim reporting
period based on discounted net future cash flows of the assets and,
if appropriate, appraisals and/or estimated net sales proceeds from
pending offers. Write-downs relating to MEC's long-lived assets
have been recognized as follows: Three Months Six Months Ended June

(i) As a result of significant weakness in the Northern California
real estate market and the U.S. financial market, MEC recorded an
impairment charge of $5.0 million related to the Dixon, California
real estate property in the six months ended June 30, 2008, which
represented the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the
estimated net realizable value at such time. (ii) As a result of
the classification of Magna Racino(TM) as discontinued operations
in the six months ended June 30, 2008, MEC recorded an impairment
charge, included in discontinued operations, of $29.2 million,
which represented the excess of the carrying value of the assets
over the estimated net realizable value at such time. (iii) In June
2003, the Oregon Racing Commission (the "ORC") adopted regulations
that permitted wagering through instant racing terminals as a form
of pari-mutuel wagering at Portland Meadows (the "Instant Racing
Rules"). In September 2006, the ORC granted a request by Portland
Meadows to offer instant racing under its 2006- 2007 race meet
licence. In June 2007, the ORC, acting under the advice of the
Oregon Attorney General, temporarily suspended and began
proceedings to repeal the Instant Racing Rules. In September 2007,
the ORC denied a request by Portland Meadows to offer instant
racing under its 2007-2008 race meet licence. In response to this
denial, MEC requested the holding of a contested case hearing,
which took place in January 2008. On February 27, 2008, the Office
of Administrative Hearings released a proposed order in MEC's
favour, approving instant racing as a legal form of wager at
Portland Meadows. However, on April 25, 2008, the ORC issued an
order rejecting that recommendation. Based primarily on the ORC's
order to reject the Office of Administrative Hearings'
recommendation, MEC recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million,
included in discontinued operations, in the six months ended June
30, 2008 related to the instant racing terminals and build-out of
the instant racing facility. 7. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Diluted
earnings (loss) per share for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are computed as follows: Three Months

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 excludes the
effect of the potential exercise of 486,544 (2008 - 506,544) and
494,544 (2008 - 516,544) options, respectively, to acquire Class A
Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company because the effect would
be anti-dilutive. 8. REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES (restated - note 1(e))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Real Estate
Business acquired certain lands included in "development
properties" from MEC. Prior to the Petition Date (note (1(a)), the
Real Estate Business had recorded the cost of these lands at the
exchange amount of the consideration paid (including transaction
costs) and the excess of such exchange amount over MEC's carrying
values of such properties was eliminated in determining the
consolidated carrying values of such properties. Subsequent to the
Petition Date, such excess amount of $50.5 million has been netted
against the Real Estate Business' carrying values of such
properties. The remaining portion of the amount eliminated at
December 31, 2008 related to interest incurred by MEC on project
financing facilities with the MID Lender (note 19(a)) that had been
capitalized to MEC's real estate properties. (ii) During the
three-month period ended June 30, 2008, one of the Real Estate
Business' properties consisting of land and a vacant building was
written down by $0.5 million, from $1.0 million to $0.5 million, to
reflect its estimated net realizable value as a result of the Real
Estate Business reclassifying the property from "revenue- producing
properties" to "properties held for sale". Subsequent to the
balance sheet date, on July 14, 2009, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell this property for cash consideration of $0.8
million, subject to the completion of due diligence by the
purchaser and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The
transaction is expected to close by the end of August 2009.

------------------------- (1) MEC's net assets were deconsolidated
from the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of the Petition
Date (note 1(a)). 10. BANK INDEBTEDNESS The Real Estate Business
has an unsecured senior revolving credit facility in the amount of
$50.0 million that is available by way of U.S. or Canadian dollar
loans or letters of credit (the "MID Credit Facility"). In January
2009, the maturity date of the MID Credit Facility was extended
from January 21, 2009 to December 18, 2009, unless further extended
with the consent of both parties. Interest on drawn amounts is
calculated based on an applicable margin determined by the Real
Estate Business' ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest,
income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. The Real Estate
Business is subject to the lowest applicable margin available, with
drawn amounts incurring interest at LIBOR or bankers' acceptance
rates, in each case plus 2.75%, or the U.S. base or Canadian prime
rate, in each case plus 1.75%. At June 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, the Real Estate Business had no borrowings under the MID
Credit Facility, but had issued letters of credit totalling $0.2
million. 11. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accounts

(i) The Company incurs unrealized foreign currency translation
gains and losses related to its self-sustaining operations having
functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. During the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company
reported currency translation gains due to a strengthening against
the U.S. dollar of the currencies (primarily the Canadian dollar
and the euro) in which the Company operates. During the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported
currency translation gains. Gains in the three-month period ended
June 30, 2008 were due primarily to the strengthening of the
Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. Gains experienced in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2008 were due primarily to the
appreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar, partially offset
by unrealized foreign currency translation losses related to the
reporting of the Company's Canadian operations due to the weakening
of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar during that period.

(i) In January 2009, MEC received notice from an institutional
shareholder holding more than 10% of MEC's outstanding shares that
such institution had completed various transactions involving MEC
Class A Stock which were determined to be in violation of Section
16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"). In efforts
to regain compliance with Section 16 of the Act, the institution
was required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of the institution's holdings in, and transactions
involving, MEC Class A Stock and determined that, based on
transactions completed in 2003 and 2004, a disgorgement payment of
$0.4 million, representing "short-swing profits" realized by the
institution, was required to be made to MEC. The Company accounted
for the cash receipt as an increase to the noncontrolling interest
in MEC. 16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (a) On August 29, 2003, the
Board approved the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "MID Plan"),
which allows for the grant of stock options or stock appreciation
rights to directors, officers, employees and consultants.
Amendments to the MID Plan were approved by the Company's
shareholders at the May 11, 2007 Annual and Special Meeting, and
became effective on June 6, 2007. At June 30, 2009, a maximum of
2.61 million MID Class A Subordinate Voting Shares are available to
be issued under the MID Plan. MID has granted stock options to
certain directors and officers to purchase MID Class A Subordinate
Voting Shares. Such options have generally been granted with 1/5th
of the options vesting on the date of grant and the remaining
options vesting over a period of four years at a rate of 1/5th on
each anniversary of the date of grant. Options expire on the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant, subject to earlier cancellation
in the events specified in the stock option agreement entered into
by MID with each recipient of options. A reconciliation of the
changes in stock options outstanding is presented below: 2009 2008

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
The Black- Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of freely traded options, which are fully
transferable and have no vesting restrictions. In addition, this
model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including
expected dividend yields, future stock price volatility and
expected time until exercise. Although the assumptions used reflect
management's best estimates, they involve inherent uncertainties
based on market conditions outside of the Company's control.
Because the Company's outstanding stock options have
characteristics that are significantly different from those of
traded options, and because changes in any of the assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion,
the existing model does not necessarily provide the only measure of
the fair value of the Company's stock options. Effective November
3, 2003, MID established a Non-Employee Director Share-Based
Compensation Plan (the "DSP"), which provides for a deferral of up
to 100% of each outside director's total annual remuneration from
the Company, at specified levels elected by each director, until
such director ceases to be a director of the Company. The amounts
deferred are reflected by notional deferred share units ("DSUs")
whose value reflects the market price of the Company's Class A
Subordinate Voting Shares at the time that the particular
payment(s) to the director is determined. The value of a DSU will
appreciate or depreciate with changes in the market price of the
Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. The DSP also takes into account
any dividends paid on the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.
Effective January 1, 2005, all directors were required to receive
at least 50% of their Board and Committee compensation fees
(excluding Special Committee fees, effective January 1, 2006) in
DSUs. On January 1, 2008, the DSP was amended such that this 50%
minimum requirement is only applicable to Board retainer fees.
Under the DSP, when a director leaves the Board, the director
receives a cash payment at an elected date equal to the value of
the accrued DSUs at such date. There is no option under the DSP for
directors to receive Class A Subordinate Voting Shares in exchange
for DSUs. A reconciliation of the changes in DSUs outstanding is
presented below: 2009 2008

During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009,
the Real Estate Business recognized stock-based compensation
expense of $0.4 million (2008 - $0.1 million) and $0.5 million
(2008 - $0.3 million), respectively, which includes an expense of
$0.4 million (2008 - recovery of $9 thousand) and $0.5 million
(2008 - expense of $24 thousand), respectively, pertaining to DSUs.
(b) During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, MEC
issued 21,687 shares of MEC Class A Stock to MEC's directors in
payment of services rendered. As a result, the Company recognized a
dilution loss of $0.4 million in the three-month period (included
in "other losses") and six-month period (included in "other gains,
net") ended June 30, 2008. 17. DETAILS OF CASH FROM OPERATING

VALUE INFORMATION The Company periodically purchases foreign
exchange forward contracts to hedge specific anticipated foreign
currency transactions. At June 30, 2009, the Company had no foreign
exchange forward contracts (December 31, 2008 - foreign exchange
forward contracts to purchase 4.2 million euros and sell $5.6
million). The contracts at December 31, 2008 were entered into by a
wholly- owned subsidiary of the Real Estate Business with a U.S.
dollar functional currency to mitigate its foreign exchange
exposure under a euro denominated short-term loan payable to
another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Real Estate Business that
has the euro as its functional currency. The following tables
summarize the impact of these derivative financial instruments on
the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

19. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Mr. Frank Stronach, who
serves as the Chairman of the Company, Magna and MEC, and three
other members of his family are trustees of the Stronach Trust. The
Stronach Trust controls the Company through the right to direct the
votes attaching to 66% of the Company's Class B Shares. Magna is
controlled by M Unicar Inc. ("M Unicar"), a Canadian holding
company whose shareholders consist of the Stronach Trust and
certain members of Magna's management. M Unicar indirectly owns
Magna Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares
representing in aggregate approximately 65% of the total voting
power attaching to all Magna's shares. The Stronach Trust
indirectly owns the shares carrying the substantial majority of the
votes of M Unicar. As the Company and Magna may be considered to be
under the common control of the Stronach Trust, they are considered
to be related parties for accounting purposes. (a) Loans to MEC (i)
2007 MEC Bridge Loan On September 13, 2007, MID announced that the
MID Lender had agreed to provide MEC with a bridge loan of up to
$80.0 million (subsequently increased to $125.0 million as
discussed below) through a non-revolving facility (the "2007 MEC
Bridge Loan"). The 2007 MEC Bridge Loan is secured by certain
assets of MEC, including first ranking security over the Dixon,
Ocala and Thistledown lands, second ranking security over Golden
Gate Fields and third ranking security over Santa Anita Park. In
addition, the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan is guaranteed by certain MEC
subsidiaries and MEC has pledged the shares and all other interests
MEC has in each of the guarantor subsidiaries (or provided negative
pledges where a pledge was not possible due to regulatory
constraints or due to a pledge to an existing third-party lender).
The 2007 MEC Bridge Loan initially had a maturity date of May 31,
2008 and bore interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus
10.0% prior to December 31, 2007, at which time the interest rate
on outstanding and subsequent advances was increased to LIBOR plus
11.0%. On February 29, 2008, the interest rate on outstanding and
subsequent advances under the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan was increased by
a further 1.0% (set at 12.3% at June 30, 2009 and at 12.5% at
December 31, 2008). During the year ended December 31, 2008, the
maximum commitment under the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan was increased
from $80.0 million to $125.0 million, MEC was given the ability to
re-borrow $26.0 million that had been repaid during the year ended
December 31, 2008 from proceeds of asset sales and MEC was
permitted to use up to $3.0 million to fund costs associated with
the November 2008 gaming referendum in Maryland. In addition, the
maturity date of the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan was extended from May 31,
2008 to March 31, 2009. However, as a result of the November 2008
Reorganization Proposal not proceeding (note 3), such maturity date
was accelerated to March 20, 2009. As a result of MEC's Chapter 11
filing on March 5, 2009 (note 1(a)), the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan was
not repaid when due. Interest on the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan accrues
during MEC's Chapter 11 process rather than being paid currently in
cash. The MID Lender received an arrangement fee of $2.4 million
(3% of the commitment) at closing in 2007 and received an
additional arrangement fee of $0.8 million on February 29, 2008 (1%
of the then current commitment). In connection with the amendments
and maturity extensions during the year ended December 31, 2008,
the MID Lender received aggregate fees of $7.0 million. The MID
Lender also received a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum of the
undrawn facility. All fees, expenses and closing costs incurred by
the MID Lender in connection with the 2007 MEC Bridge Loan and the
changes thereto were paid by MEC. At June 30, 2009, $130.9 million
(December 31, 2008 - $123.5 million, net of $1.8 million of
unamortized deferred arrangement fees) due under the fully drawn
2007 MEC Bridge Loan was included in the Real Estate Business'
current portion of "loans receivable from MEC, net" on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet. MEC's current portion of
"loans payable to MID, net" on the Company's consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 2008 includes an aggregate amount of
borrowings and interest payable of $123.4 million, net of $2.0
million of unamortized deferred financing costs. (ii) MEC Project
Financings The MID Lender has made available separate project
financing facilities to Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc.
("GPRA") and Remington Park, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiaries of
MEC that own and/or operate Gulfstream Park and Remington Park,
respectively, in the amounts of $162.3 million and $34.2 million,
respectively, plus costs and capitalized interest in each case as
discussed below (together, the "MEC Project Financing Facilities").
The MEC Project Financing Facilities were established with a term
of 10 years (except as described below for the two slot machine
tranches of the Gulfstream Park project financing facility) from
the relevant completion dates for the construction projects at
Gulfstream Park and Remington Park, which occurred in February 2006
and November 2005, respectively. The Remington Park project
financing and the Gulfstream Park project financing contain
cross-guarantee, cross-default and cross-collateralization
provisions. The Remington Park project financing is secured by all
assets of the borrower (including first ranking security over the
Remington Park leasehold interest), excluding licences and permits,
and is guaranteed by the MEC subsidiaries that own Gulfstream Park
and the Palm Meadows Training Center. The security package also
includes second ranking security over the lands owned by Gulfstream
Park and second ranking security over the Palm Meadows Training
Center and the shares of the owner of the Palm Meadows Training
Center (in each case, behind security granted for the Gulfstream
Park project financing). In addition, the borrower has agreed not
to pledge any licences or permits held by it and MEC has agreed not
to pledge the shares of the borrower or the owner of Gulfstream
Park. The Gulfstream Park project financing is guaranteed by MEC's
subsidiaries that own and operate the Palm Meadows Training Center
and Remington Park and is secured principally by security over the
lands (or, in the case of Remington Park, over the leasehold
interest) forming part of the operations at Gulfstream Park, the
Palm Meadows Training Center and Remington Park and over all other
assets of Gulfstream Park, the Palm Meadows Training Center and
Remington Park, excluding licences and permits (which cannot be
subject to security under applicable legislation). In July 2006 and
December 2006, the Gulfstream Park project financing facility was
amended to increase the amount available from $115.0 million (plus
costs and capitalized interest) by adding new tranches of up to
$25.8 million (plus costs and capitalized interest) and $21.5
million (plus costs and capitalized interest), respectively. Both
tranches were established to fund MEC's design and construction of
slot machine facilities located in the existing Gulfstream Park
clubhouse building, as well as related capital expenditures and
start-up costs, including the acquisition and installation of slot
machines. The new tranches of the Gulfstream Park project financing
facility both were established with a maturity date of December 31,
2011. Interest under the December 2006 tranche was capitalized
until May 1, 2007, at which time monthly blended payments of
principal and interest became payable to the MID Lender based on a
25-year amortization period commencing on such date. The July 2006
and December 2006 amendments did not affect the fact that the
Gulfstream Park project financing facility continues to be
cross-guaranteed, cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the
Remington Park project financing facility. Amounts outstanding
under each of the MEC Project Financing Facilities bear interest at
a fixed rate of 10.5% per annum, compounded semi-annually and
require repayment in monthly blended payments of principal and
interest based on a 25-year amortization period under each of the
MEC Project Financing Facilities. Since the completion date for
Remington Park, there has also been in place a mandatory annual
cash flow sweep of not less than 75% of Remington Park's total
excess cash flow, after permitted capital expenditures and debt
service, which is used to pay capitalized interest on the Remington
Park project financing facility plus a portion of the principal
under the facility equal to the capitalized interest on the
Gulfstream Park project financing facility. For the three-month
period ended June 30, 2009, no such payments were made (2008 - $1.5
million) given the MEC Chapter 11 proceedings and for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2009, $2.0 million (2008 - $1.7 million) of
such payments were made. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, Remington Park agreed to purchase 80 Class III slot machines
from GPRA with funding from the Remington Park project financing
facility. Accordingly, $1.0 million was advanced under the existing
Remington Park project financing facility during the three months
ended March 31, 2008. In September 2007, the terms of the
Gulfstream Park project financing facility were amended such that:
(i) MEC was added as a guarantor under that facility; (ii) the
borrower and all of the guarantors agreed to use commercially
reasonable efforts to implement the MEC Debt Elimination Plan (note
4), including the sale of specific assets by the time periods
listed in the MEC Debt Elimination Plan; and (iii) the borrower
became obligated to repay at least $100.0 million under the
Gulfstream Park project financing facility on or prior to May 31,
2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the deadline for
repayment of at least $100.0 million under the Gulfstream Park
project financing facility was extended from May 31, 2008 to March
31, 2009. However, as a result of the November 2008 Reorganization
Proposal not proceeding (note 3), such maturity date was
accelerated to March 20, 2009. In connection with the amendments
and maturity extensions during the year ended December 31, 2008,
the MID Lender received aggregate fees of $3.0 million. As a result
of MEC's Chapter 11 filing on March 5, 2009 (note 1(a)), the
repayment of at least $100.0 million under the Gulfstream Park
project financing facility was not made when due. During MEC's
Chapter 11 process, monthly principal and interest payments, as
well as the quarterly excess cash flow sweeps, under the MEC
Project Financing Facilities are stayed and interest accrues rather
than being paid currently in cash. At June 30, 2009, there were
balances of $175.5 million and $23.4 million (net of $1.1 million
and $0.1 million, respectively, of carrying value adjustments upon
the deconsolidation of MEC - note 1(a)) due under the Gulfstream
Park project financing facility and the Remington Park project
financing facility, respectively. At December 31, 2008, there were
balances of $169.5 million (net of $1.5 million of unamortized
deferred arrangement fees) and $25.0 million due under the
Gulfstream Park project financing facility and the Remington Park
project financing facility, respectively. The current portion of
the MEC Project Financing Facilities included in the Real Estate
Business' "loans receivable from MEC, net" at December 31, 2008 was
$100.7 million (net of $1.5 million of unamortized deferred
arrangement fees), including the required $100.0 million repayment
discussed above. The current portion of the MEC Project Financing
Facilities, as reflected in MEC's "loans payable to MID, net" on
the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, is
$100.7 million (including $0.4 million in MEC's "discontinued
operations" (note 4)), net of unamortized deferred financing costs
of $1.5 million. The non-current portion of the MEC Project
Financing Facilities, as reflected in MEC's "loans payable to MID,
net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
2008, is $90.0 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs
of $3.8 million (including $23.6 million, net of $1.0 million of
unamortized deferred financing costs, in MEC's "discontinued
operations" (note 4)). In connection with the Gulfstream Park
project financing facility, MEC has placed into escrow (the
"Gulfstream Escrow") with the MID Lender proceeds from an asset
sale which occurred in fiscal 2005 and certain additional amounts
necessary to ensure that any remaining Gulfstream Park construction
costs (including the settlement of liens on the property) can be
funded, which escrowed amount has been and will be applied against
any such construction costs. At June 30, 2009, the amount held
under the Gulfstream Escrow was $0.5 million (December 31, 2008 -
$0.9 million). All funds in the Gulfstream Escrow are reflected as
the Real Estate Business' "restricted cash" and "due to MEC" on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets. (iii) 2008 MEC Loan On
November 26, 2008, concurrent with the announcement of the November
2008 Reorganization Proposal (note 3), MID announced that the MID
Lender had agreed to provide MEC with the 2008 MEC Loan of up to a
maximum commitment, subject to certain conditions being met, of
$125.0 million (plus costs and fees). The 2008 MEC Loan bears
interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 12.0%, is guaranteed by certain
subsidiaries of MEC and is secured by substantially all the assets
of MEC (subject to prior encumbrances). The 2008 MEC Loan has been
made available through two tranches of a non-revolving facility. -
Tranche 1 Tranche 1 in the amount of up to $50.0 million (plus
costs and fees) was made available to MEC solely to fund (i)
operations, (ii) payments of principal or interest and other costs
under the 2008 MEC Loan and under other loans provided by the MID
Lender to MEC, (iii) mandatory payments of interest in connection
with other of MEC's existing debt, (iv) maintenance capital
expenditures and (v) capital expenditures required pursuant to the
terms of certain of MEC's joint venture arrangements with third
parties. In connection with Tranche 1 of the 2008 MEC Loan, the MID
Lender charged an arrangement fee of $1.0 million (2% of the
commitment), such amount being capitalized to the outstanding
balance of Tranche 1 of the 2008 MEC Loan. The MID Lender was also
entitled to a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn
facility. All fees, expenses and closing costs incurred by the MID
Lender in connection with the 2008 MEC Loan are capitalized to the
outstanding balance of Tranche 1 of the 2008 MEC Loan. Tranche 1
had an initial maturity date of March 31, 2009 but as a result of
the November 2008 Reorganization Proposal not proceeding (note 3),
such maturity date was accelerated to March 20, 2009. As a result
of MEC's Chapter 11 filing on March 5, 2009 (note 1(a)), Tranche 1
of the 2008 MEC Loan was not repaid when due. - Tranche 2 Tranche 2
in the amount of up to $75.0 million (plus costs and fees) was to
be used by MEC solely to fund (i) up to $45.0 million (plus costs
and fees) in connection with the application by MEC's subsidiary
Laurel Park for a Maryland slots licence and related matters and
(ii) up to $30.0 million (plus costs and fees) in connection with
the construction of the temporary slots facility at Laurel Park,
following receipt of the Maryland slots licence. In addition to
being secured by substantially all the assets of MEC, Tranche 2 of
the 2008 MEC Loan was also to be guaranteed by the MJC group of
companies and secured by all of such companies' assets. In February
2009, MEC's subsidiary, Laurel Park, submitted an application for a
Maryland video lottery terminal licence (the "MEC VLT Application")
and drew $28.5 million under Tranche 2 of the 2008 MEC Loan in
order to place the initial licence fee in escrow pending resolution
of certain issues associated with the application. Subsequently,
MEC was informed by the Maryland VLT Facility Location Commission
that the MEC VLT Application was not accepted for consideration as
it had been submitted without payment of the initial licence fee of
$28.5 million. Accordingly, MEC repaid $28.5 million to the MID
Lender under Tranche 2 of the 2008 MEC Loan. In connection with the
February 2009 advance under Tranche 2 of the 2008 MEC Loan, the MID
Lender charged an arrangement fee of $0.6 million, such amount
being capitalized to the outstanding balance of Tranche 2 of the
2008 MEC Loan. The MID Lender was also entitled to a commitment fee
equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn amount made available under
Tranche 2 of the 2008 MEC Loan. All fees, expenses and closing
costs incurred by the MID Lender in connection with Tranche 2 are
capitalized to the outstanding balance of Tranche 2 under the 2008
MEC Loan. The initial maturity date of Tranche 2 was December 31,
2011 which, as a result of the MEC VLT Application not being
accepted for consideration, was accelerated in accordance with the
terms of the loan to May 13, 2009. As a result of MEC's Chapter 11
filing on March 5, 2009 (note 1(a)), there is an automatic stay of
any action to collect, assert, or recover on the 2008 MEC Loan.
Interest and fees on the 2008 MEC Loan accrue during MEC's Chapter
11 process rather than being paid currently in cash. At June 30,
2009, $54.9 million (December 31, 2008 - $22.9 million, net of $0.8
million of unamortized deferred arrangement fees) due under the
2008 MEC Loan was included in the Real Estate Business' current
portion of "loans receivable from MEC, net" on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet. MEC's current portion of "loans payable
to MID, net" on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2008 includes borrowings of $22.8 million, net of $0.9
million of unamortized deferred financing costs. (iv) DIP Loan In
connection with the Debtors' Chapter 11 filing (note 1(a)), MID
(through the MID Lender) originally agreed to provide a six-month
secured DIP Loan to MEC in the amount of up to $62.5 million. The
DIP Loan initial tranche of up to $13.4 million was made available
to MEC on March 6, 2009 pursuant to approval of the Court and an
interim order was subsequently entered by the Court on March 13,
2009. On April 3, 2009, MEC requested an adjournment until April
20, 2009 for the Court to consider the motion for a final order
relating to the DIP Loan. The Court granted the request and
authorized an additional $2.5 million being made available to MEC
under the DIP Loan pending the April 20, 2009 hearing. On April 20,
2009, the DIP Loan was amended to, among other things, (i) extend
the maturity from September 6, 2009 to November 6, 2009 in order to
allow for a longer marketing period in connection with MEC's asset
sales and (ii) reduce the principal amount available from $62.5
million to $38.4 million, with the reduction attributable to the
fact that interest on the pre-petition loan facilities between MEC
and the MID Lender will accrue during the Chapter 11 process rather
than being paid currently in cash. The final terms of the DIP Loan
were presented to the Court on April 20, 2009 and the Court entered
a final order authorizing the DIP Loan on the amended terms on
April 22, 2009. Under the terms of the DIP Loan, MEC is required to
pay an arrangement fee of 3% under the DIP Loan (on each tranche as
it is made available) and advances bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to LIBOR plus 12.0% (set at 12.3% at June 30, 2009).
MEC is also required to pay a commitment fee equal to 1% per annum
on all undrawn amounts. The DIP Loan is secured by liens on
substantially all assets of MEC and its subsidiaries (subject to
prior ranking liens), as well as a pledge of capital stock of
certain guarantors. Under the DIP Loan, MEC may request funds to be
advanced on a monthly basis and such funds must be used in
accordance with an approved budget. The terms of the DIP Loan
contemplate that MEC will sell all or substantially all of its
assets through an auction process and use the proceeds from the
asset sales to repay its creditors, including the MID Lender. At
June 30, 2009, $20.8 million (net of $0.6 million of unamortized
deferred arrangement fees) due under the DIP Loan was included in
the current portion of "loans receivable from MEC, net" on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to quarter-end, an
additional $7.0 million has been drawn under the DIP Loan. To the
Petition Date (note 1(a)), approximately $9.4 million of external
third-party costs were incurred in association with these loan
facilities between MEC and the MID Lender. Prior to the Petition
Date, these costs are recognized as deferred financing costs at the
MEC segment level and have been amortized into interest expense (of
which a portion has been capitalized in the case of the MEC Project
Financing Facilities) over the respective term of each of the loan
facilities. Prior to the Petition Date, such costs were charged to
"general and administrative" expenses at a consolidated level in
the periods in which they were incurred. All interest and fees
charged by the Real Estate Business prior to the Petition Date
relating to the loan facilities, including any capitalization and
subsequent amortization thereof by MEC, and any adjustments to
MEC's related deferred financing costs, have been eliminated from
the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial
position. (b) Magna Lease Terminations During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Real Estate Business and Magna completed
a lease termination agreement on a property in the United Kingdom
that the Real Estate Business is seeking to redevelop for
residential purposes. The Real Estate Business paid Magna $2.0
million to terminate the lease and the termination payment has been
included in "real estate properties, net" at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Real Estate
Business and Magna also agreed to terminate the lease on a property
in Canada. In conjunction with the lease termination, Magna agreed
to pay the Company a fee of $3.9 million, which amount has been
recognized by the Real Estate Business in "other gains, net" in the
Company's unaudited interim statement of income (loss) for the six
months ended June 30, 2008. (c) MEC's Real Estate Sales to Magna On
March 5, 2009, MEC announced that one of its subsidiaries in
Austria had entered into an agreement to sell to a subsidiary of
Magna approximately 100 acres of real estate located in Austria
(note 5(b)) for a purchase price of approximately 4.6 million euros
($6.0 million). The transaction was completed on April 28, 2009. In
April 2008, MEC completed the sale to a subsidiary of Magna of 225
acres of excess real estate located in Austria for proceeds of 20.0
million euros ($31.5 million), net of transaction costs. MEC
recognized a gain in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
of 11.6 million euros ($18.2 million), net of tax, which was
recorded as a contribution of equity in contributed surplus. (d)
Sale of MEC Real Estate to Joint Venture On April 2, 2008, one of
MEC's European wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fontana Beteiligungs GmbH
("Fontana"), entered into an agreement to sell real estate with a
carrying value of 0.2 million euros ($0.3 million) located in
Oberwaltersdorf, Austria to Fontana Immobilien GmbH, an entity in
which Fontana had a 50% joint venture equity interest, for 0.8
million euros ($1.2 million). The purchase price was originally
payable in instalments according to the sale of apartment units by
the joint venture and, in any event, was due no later than April 2,
2009. On August 1, 2008, Fontana sold its 50% joint venture equity
interest in Fontana Immobilien GmbH to a related party. The sale
price included nominal cash consideration equal to Fontana's
initial capital contribution and a future profit participation in
Fontana Immobilien GmbH. Fontana and Fontana Immobilien GmbH also
agreed to amend the real estate sale agreement such that payment of
the purchase price to Fontana was accelerated to, and paid on,
August 7, 2008. (e) Ontario Securities Commission Hearing On August
11, 2009, MID announced that, at the request of certain MID Class A
shareholders, the OSC has called a hearing regarding MID's ability
to rely on certain exemptions from the requirements to obtain
minority shareholder approval and formal valuations under
Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions in respect of transactions with
MEC. MID believes that the application of the MID Class A
shareholders is without merit and MID will vigorously defend
against the application. The hearing will commence on September 9,
2009. 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (a) In the ordinary course
of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for
litigation and claims with, among others, customers, suppliers and
former employees. Management believes that adequate provisions have
been recorded in the accounts where required. Although it is not
possible to accurately estimate the extent of potential costs and
losses, if any, management believes, but can provide no assurance,
that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies would not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
(b) In addition to the letters of credit issued under the MID
Credit Facility (note 10), the Company had $2.7 million of letters
of credit issued with various financial institutions at June 30,
2009 to guarantee various development projects. These letters of
credit are secured by cash deposits of the Company. (c) At June 30,
2009, the Company's contractual commitments related to construction
and development projects outstanding amounted to approximately $1.8
million. (d) In November 2006, MEC sold its wholly-owned interest
in The Meadows, a standardbred racetrack in Pennsylvania, to PA
Meadows, LLC, a company jointly owned by William Paulos and William
Wortman, controlling shareholders of Millennium Gaming, Inc., and a
fund managed by Oaktree Capital Management, LLC. The parties also
entered into a racing services agreement whereby MEC pays $50
thousand per annum and continues to operate, for its own account,
the racing operations at The Meadows until at least July 2011. $5.6
million of the gain from the sale of The Meadows was initially
deferred and included in MEC's "other long-term liabilities"
representing the estimated net present value of the future
operating losses expected over the term of the racing services
agreement. Such amount has been recognized as a reduction of
"general and administrative" expenses in MEC's results of
operations over the term of the racing services agreement.
Effective January 1, 2008, The Meadows entered into an agreement
with the Meadows Standardbred Owners Association, which expires on
December 31, 2009, whereby the horsemen make contributions to
subsidize backside maintenance and marketing expenses at The
Meadows. As a result, the estimated operating losses expected over
the remaining term of the racing services agreement were revised,
resulting in $2.0 million of previously deferred gains being
recognized in MEC's "other gains" in the six months ended June 30,
2008. (e) On July 21, 2009, the MID Lender was named as a defendant
in an action commenced by the Committee in connection with MEC's
Chapter 11 proceeding. The Committee's action seeks, among other
things, recharacterization as equity of the MID Lender's claims in
relation to the indebtedness previously advanced to MEC and its
subsidiaries, equitable subordination of the MID Lender's claims
against the debtors in the Chapter 11 proceedings and the avoidance
of allegedly fraudulent transfers to the MID Lender, including
fees, interest and principal repayments received prior to the
initiation of the Chapter 11 process. In addition, the Committee
has sought leave of the Court to pursue a separate action against
MID, the MID Lender and additional parties, including Mr. Frank
Stronach, that alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary
duty owed to MEC and its creditors. Although MID and the MID Lender
believe that the Committee's claims are without merit and intend to
contest them vigorously, MID can provide no assurance as to the
ultimate outcome of the Committee's action. (f) On August 11, 2009,
MID announced that, at the request of certain MID Class A
shareholders, the OSC has called a hearing regarding MID's ability
to rely on certain exemptions from the requirements to obtain
minority shareholder approval and formal valuations under
Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security
Holders in Special Transactions in respect of transactions with
MEC. MID believes that the application of the MID Class A
shareholders is without merit and MID will vigorously defend
against the application. The hearing will commence on September 9,
2009. 21. CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (a)
Recently Adopted Canadian GAAP Accounting Standards (i) Goodwill
and Intangible Assets In February 2008, the Canadian Institute of
Chartered Accountants (the "CICA") issued Handbook Section 3064,
"Goodwill and Intangible Assets", amended Handbook Section 1000,
"Financial Statement Concepts", and Accounting Guideline 11,
"Enterprises in the Development Stage", and withdrew Handbook
Section 3062, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and Handbook
Section 3450, "Research and Development Costs". Handbook Section
3064 clarifies that costs may only be deferred when they relate to
an item that meets the definition of an asset. The concept of
matching revenues and expenses remains appropriate only for
allocating the cost of an asset that is consumed in generating
revenue over multiple reporting periods. Handbook Section 3064 also
provides extensive guidance on when expenditures qualify for
recognition as intangible assets. These changes are effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. The Company's
adoption of these accounting standards for Canadian GAAP purposes
on January 1, 2009 did not have any impact on the Company's
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, nor did it
create any reconciling differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP
in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of income
(loss) or statements of comprehensive income (loss). (ii) Business
Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests In January 2009, the CICA
issued Handbook Section 1582, "Business Combinations", Handbook
Section 1601, "Consolidated Financial Statements", and Handbook
Section 1602, "Non- controlling Interests" and withdrew Handbook
Section 1581, "Business Combinations", and Handbook Section 1600,
"Consolidated Financial Statements". Handbook Section 1582 applies
to a transaction in which the acquirer obtains control of one or
more businesses. The term "business" is more broadly defined than
in the existing standard. Most assets acquired and liabilities
assumed, including contingent liabilities that are considered to be
improbable, will be measured at fair value. Any interest in the
acquiree owned prior to obtaining control will be re-measured at
fair value at the acquisition date, eliminating the need for
guidance on step acquisitions. Contingent consideration
arrangements will be fair valued at the acquisition date and
included on that basis in the purchase price consideration. A
bargain purchase will result in recognition of a gain. Acquisition
costs must be expensed. Similar to the requirements of SFAS 160
(note 1(e)), under Handbook Section 1602, any noncontrolling
interest is recognized as a separate component of shareholder's
equity. Net income (loss) is calculated without deduction for the
noncontrolling interest. Rather, net income (loss) is allocated
between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Handbook
Section 1601 carries forward the requirements of Handbook Section
1600, other than those relating to noncontrolling interests. These
changes are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
January 1, 2011 but may be adopted early at the beginning of a
fiscal year. The Company's adoption of these accounting standards
for Canadian GAAP purposes on January 1, 2009 did not have any
impact on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements, nor did it create any reconciling differences between
Canadian and U.S. GAAP in the Company's consolidated balance
sheets, statements of income (loss) or statements of comprehensive
income (loss). (b) Reconciliation to Canadian GAAP The Company's
accounting policies as reflected in these unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements do not materially differ from
Canadian GAAP except as described in the following tables

* Reflects cumulative impact of Canadian GAAP accounting to MID's
investment in MEC being adjusted to nil upon deconsolidation of MEC
at the Petition Date (note 1(a)). (i) Financial Instruments and
Long-term Debt Under Canadian GAAP, a portion of the face value of
MEC's convertible subordinated notes (the "MEC Notes") attributable
to the value of the conversion feature at inception is recorded as
part of the noncontrolling interest in MEC, rather than as a
liability. The remaining value of the MEC Notes at inception is
accreted up to their face value on an effective yield basis over
the term of the Notes, with the accretion amount being included in
MEC's net interest expense. Under U.S. GAAP, the MEC Notes are
recorded entirely as debt, resulting in lower net interest expense
than under Canadian GAAP. (ii) Depreciation and Amortization Based
on the terms of MEC's sale of The Meadows in 2006, the sale of The
Meadows' real estate properties and fixed assets is not accounted
for as a sale and leaseback, but rather using the financing method
of accounting under U.S. GAAP as MEC is deemed to have a continuing
interest in the transaction. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, such
real estate properties and fixed assets were required to remain on
the balance sheet and continue to depreciate and $7.2 million of
the sale proceeds were required to be deferred at inception and
were included in MEC's "other long-term liabilities" on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 and
2007. Under U.S. GAAP, these sale proceeds are to be recognized at
the point when the transaction subsequently qualifies for sale
recognition. Under Canadian GAAP, the disposal of such real estate
properties and fixed assets was recognized as a sale transaction.
(iii) Capitalization of Development Property Carrying Costs Under
both Canadian and U.S. GAAP, certain carrying costs incurred in
relation to real estate property held for development are permitted
to be capitalized as part of the cost of such property while being
held for development. However, FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards # 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental
Operations of Real Estate Projects", is more restrictive than CICA
Handbook Section 3061, "Property, Plant and Equipment", in relation
to the necessary criteria required to capitalize such costs. As a
result, certain carrying costs have been capitalized from time to
time under Canadian GAAP that are not permitted under U.S. GAAP.
(iv) Stock-based Compensation Canadian GAAP requires the expensing
of all stock-based compensation awards for fiscal years beginning
on or after January 1, 2004. The Company also adopted this policy
under U.S. GAAP effective January 1, 2004. However, under U.S.
GAAP, the cumulative impact on adoption of stock-based compensation
is not recognized in the consolidated financial statements as an
adjustment to opening deficit. As a result, prior to the
deconsolidation of MEC (note 1(a)), $3.2 million of MEC's
stock-based compensation expense related to periods prior to
January 1, 2004 are excluded from MID shareholders' equity under
U.S. GAAP but not under Canadian GAAP. (v) MEC Sales to Magna Under
Canadian GAAP, a gain on the sale of real estate to a related party
that owns less than 80% of the vendor's share capital, where the
exchange amount is supported by independent evidence, is considered
an income item rather than a contribution to equity as required
under U.S. GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP, where the related tax
effect of the gain on the related party transaction is offset by
the utilization of losses from activities other than the related
party transaction, the benefit from such losses is recognized as an
income item rather than as a contribution of equity. (vi)
Investment Translation Gains or Losses Under Canadian GAAP,
investment translation gains or losses are accumulated in the
"accumulated other comprehensive income" component of shareholders'
equity, and the appropriate amounts of the investment translation
gains or losses are reflected in income when there is a reduction
resulting from capital transactions in the Company's net investment
in the operations that gave rise to such exchange gains and losses.
Under U.S. GAAP, the appropriate amounts of the investment
translation gains or losses are only reflected in income when there
is a sale or partial sale of the Company's investment in these
operations or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation
of the investment. (vii) Employee Defined Benefit and
Postretirement Plans In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards # 158, "Employers' Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS
158"). SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize the funded status
(the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the
projected benefit obligations) of a defined benefit postretirement
plan as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets
with a corresponding adjustment to "accumulated other comprehensive
income", net of related tax and minority interest impact. No such
adjustment is required under Canadian GAAP. (viii) Joint Ventures
Under U.S. GAAP, MEC's investments in joint ventures are accounted
for using the equity method of accounting, resulting in MEC's
proportionate share of the net income or loss of the joint ventures
in which it has an interest being recorded in a single line,
"equity loss (income)" on the Company's consolidated statements of
income (loss). Similarly, MEC's investment in joint ventures is
included in a single line "other assets" on the Company's
consolidated balance sheets. Only cash invested by MEC into its
interests in joint ventures are reflected in the Company's
consolidated statements of cash flows. Under Canadian GAAP, MEC's
investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the
proportionate consolidation method. MEC's proportionate share of
the joint ventures in which it has an interest is added to the
consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income
(loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows on a line-by- line
basis. The following tables indicate the items in the consolidated
balance sheets that would have been affected had the consolidated
financial statements been prepared under Canadian GAAP: As at June

U.S. GAAP permits assets held for sale and assets of discontinued
operations, as well as liabilities related to such assets, to be
classified as current items on the balance sheet. Canadian GAAP
only permits such items to be classified as current items if the
sale of such items has occurred prior to the date of completion of
the financial statements. The following table indicates the impact
this difference between U.S. and Canadian GAAP had on the Company's
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 with respect to the
