    (1) As discussed further in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Results of Operations and Financial Position under "ADOPTION OF
        UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES" included 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 nine months ended September 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
        generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore may
        not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
        Please refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
        Operations and Financial Position under "REAL ESTATE BUSINESS -
        Results of Operations - Funds From Operations" included in this press
        release.

    (3) As discussed further in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Results of Operations and Financial Position under the section
        "SIGNIFICANT MATTERS - MEC Chapter 11 Filing and Related Claims
        Against MID - Deconsolidation of MEC" included in this press release,
        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 the United States Bankruptcy
        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 (the "CCAA") in Canada. As a result of the Debtors'
        Chapter 11 filing, the Company has concluded that, under 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
        September 30, 2009 do not include the results of MEC and for the nine
        months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the
        three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008 include the operations of
        Great Lakes Downs, which was sold in July 2008.
