INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
Proxies in the form enclosed with this statement are solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in Carlsbad, California, on November 6, 2003, including any adjournments or postponements thereof. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a shareholder’s right to attend the meeting and vote in person, and any holder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy will be suspended if the holder is present at the meeting and elects to vote in person.
VOTING SECURITIES
The voting securities of the Company consist of its common shares of which 12,943,000 shares are outstanding as of September 12, 2003. Only holders of common shares of record on the books of the Company at the close of business on September 12, 2003, which is the record date, will be entitled to vote at the meeting. Each such holder of common shares is entitled to one vote for each said share, and has the right to cumulate his or her votes for directors if his or her candidate’s or candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and any shareholder has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of that shareholder’s intention to cumulate his or her votes. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may or may not elect to give such notice and vote the shares they represent in such a manner.
Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the person appointed by the Company to act as Inspector of Election for the Annual Meeting. The Inspector of Election will treat shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or include “broker non-votes” as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions or “broker non-votes” do not constitute a vote “for” or “against” any matter and thus will be disregarded in the calculation of “votes cast.” Any unmarked proxies, including those submitted by brokers or nominees, will be voted in favor of the nominees of the Board of Directors, as indicated on the accompanying proxy card.
The approximate date on which this proxy statement and form of proxy are first being sent or given to shareholders is September 24, 2003.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
Report of the Compensation Committee
Members of the Compensation Committee evaluate the performance of senior management, including the president, and review and approve the base compensation and bonuses for the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee also administers the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan and employee stock option plans. The Compensation Committee periodically reports to the Board on its activities.
Compensation Philosophy.The Compensation Committee bases its decisions on the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, which relates the level of compensation to the Company’s success in meeting its annual and long-term performance goals, rewards individual achievement and seeks to attract and retain qualified executives. The Company’s executive compensation program consists of two principal components: (i) base salary and, (ii) a potential for an annual bonus under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan based upon the Company achieving a threshold level of profitability as well as individual performance. The Company positions its overall executive compensation levels at or near the median of the range of compensation levels for other companies comparable to the Company located in Southern California and which are viewed as competitors for executive talent in the overall labor market. This data is obtained from surveys conducted by external compensation consultants and trade associations. In reviewing this data, the Company takes into account how its compensation policies and overall performance compare to similar indices for comparable companies.
The Company employs a formal performance review system for all employees and executive officers, including the president and the other Named Executive Officer (as defined on page 6). This process generates information that the Compensation Committee uses in making decisions on base compensation and awards under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan. The president is responsible for preparing the reviews on all executive officers other than himself. The Compensation Committee Chairman is responsible for preparing the review on the president. All reviews are then discussed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Executive performance is measured both in terms of the performance of the Company as a whole and various individual performance factors, including the performance of divisions for which such officer had management responsibility and individual managerial accomplishments.
The Internal Revenue Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to any “covered employee” (which is defined as the president and the corporation’s other four most highly compensated officers, as of the end of a taxable year) to the extent that the compensation of any individual covered employee exceeds $1 million in any taxable year of the corporation beginning after 1993. Compensation that is payable pursuant to written binding agreements entered into before February 18, 1993 and compensation that constitutes “performance-based compensation” is excludable in applying the $1 million limit. It is the Company’s policy to qualify the compensation paid to its top executives for deductibility under the law in order to maximize the Company’s income tax deductions. Based upon the Internal Revenue Service’s regulations and projected compensation payable to the Company’s “covered employees” for the 2004 taxable year, all compensation payable by the Company in fiscal year 2004 to such covered employees should be deductible by the Company.
Base Salaries. In determining base salaries for executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviews external comparative data and also receives recommendations from management. The Compensation Committee bases its decisions on such data, as well as internal salary comparisons and individual performance evaluations. Under this system, salary increases have generally the same effect as a cost of living adjustment, although increases are not expressly tied to any cost of living indicator. Increases are awarded, however, only to those executives who are performing at or above a satisfactory level.
Executive Bonus Plan.In addition to base compensation, executives are eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan. With respect to the Executive Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee has not set performance goals for fiscal year 2004. No bonus awards are made for any year in which the Company does not meet the performance goals. The amount of the bonus pool is based on a percentage of the Company’s net after tax profits above the profitability thresholds and shall not cause the net after tax profit to
4
Table of Contents
Individual awards under the Executive Bonus Plan are determined by the size of the bonus pool and individual performance of the executive. The Compensation Committee has structured the Executive Bonus Plan so that award potential is consistent with competitive norms and potentially represents a significant percentage of the executive’s overall compensation in any given year. Awards are paid after completion of the Company’s audited financial statements for that year.
No executive bonuses were awarded or paid for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2003.
Equity Participation.The Compensation Committee believes that equity participation serves to align the interests of executive officers with shareholder value. The number of stock options granted or restricted stock awarded takes into account the recipient’s position and is intended to recognize different levels of responsibility. In determining the level of stock option grants or restricted stock awarded, the Compensation Committee also considers competitive practices. As a result, grants and awards may vary from year to year.
The foregoing report has been furnished by the Compensation Committee.
