(1) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2002 and the consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, and
the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months then ended, have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at
March 31, 2002 and the results of its operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 and 2002 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2002 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2001 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain items in prior period's financial statements have been classified
to conform with the current year presentation.
BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002:

</Table>
(1) Convertible preferred stock paid-in-kind dividend is not included in
the calculation of diluted net income per share in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 since the preferred stock is assumed to have
been converted.
(2) Potential common shares are not included in the calculation of
dilutive net loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2001
since the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company had outstanding stock options,
warrants, Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Units, convertible
preferred stock and deferred shares, which could potentially dilute basic
earnings per share in the future. (See Notes 13 and 14 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 in the Company's
2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.)

(3) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
INTEREST RATE AGREEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS
138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities. It requires entities to record all derivative
instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded in each period in current operations or other
comprehensive income (loss), based on whether a derivative is designated as part
of a hedge transaction and the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective
portion of all hedges is recognized in operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company's credit facility, the Company is
required to maintain interest rate hedges for a notional amount of not less
than $140,000 for a period of not less than two years. In satisfaction of
this requirement, the Company entered into three interest rate swap
agreements in November 2000 which obligate the Company to pay a fixed LIBOR
rate and entitle the Company to receive a variable LIBOR rate on an aggregate
$140,000 notional amount of debt. The Company has structured these interest
rate swap agreements and intends to structure all such future agreements to
qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 133.
Accumulated other comprehensive losses resulting from the changes in fair
value of the interest rate hedge instruments were $7,249 and $5,388 at
December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively. For the three month
periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company recorded a $2,806 charge
and a $1,861 credit, respectively, to other comprehensive income (loss) for
the change in fair value of the interest rate hedge instruments.
The following presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to
comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002:

Parts and work-in-process include costs for equipment expected to be sold.
Costs incurred for equipment associated with specific wagering system service
contracts not yet placed in service are classified as construction in progress
in property and equipment.
(5) DEBT
At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $26,664 available for
borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). There
were approximately $19,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Facility and
approximately $19,336 in letters of credit were issued under the Facility at
March 31, 2002. At December 31, 2001, Scientific Games' available borrowing
capacity under the Facility was $30,960.
The Company's financing arrangements impose certain limitations on its
operations and its subsidiaries' operations, including the maintenance of
certain leverage, coverage and net worth ratios. In addition, the Company's
financing arrangements also restrict its and certain of its subsidiaries'
ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other
business activities, by, among other things, limiting their ability to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem capital stock, make certain
investments, engage in sale-lease back transactions, consummate certain asset
sales, and create certain liens and other encumbrances on their assets. In
March 2001, as a result of the financial performance of SGHC prior to its
acquisition by the Company, certain transitional and operational matters
occurring through December 31, 2000, and the timing of certain anticipated
capital expenditures and associated borrowings in 2001, management and the
Company's lenders amended certain limitations to be less restrictive. Among
other changes, the Facility was modified so that the planned step-downs in
fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios were delayed by up to nine
months through September 30, 2002. While the Company was in compliance with
these covenants at March 31, 2002 and expects to continue to remain in
compliance over the next 12 months, no assurances can be provided that it
will be able to do so or that it will be able to continue to meet the
covenant requirements beyond 12 months.
(6) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142,
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS ("SFAS 142") and in August 2001 the FASB
issued Statement No. 144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF
LONG-LIVED ASSETS ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after
June 30, 2001. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 upon issuance. SFAS 141
also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method
business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill. SFAS 142 requires, commencing January 1, 2002, that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized. Instead,
they will be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with
definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives
to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance
with SFAS 144. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired by us in our business
combinations completed before July 1, 2001 continued to be amortized through
December 31, 2001.

(UNAUDITED, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(6) GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND
LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF--(CONTINUED)
SFAS 142 requires that we evaluate our existing intangible assets and
goodwill that were acquired in a prior purchase business combination, and make
any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in
SFAS 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. We also adopted SFAS 142 and,
accordingly, are required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of
all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make
any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim
period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is
identified as having an indefinite useful life, we are required to test the
intangible asset for impairment within the first interim period. Any impairment
loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim
period.
In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS
142 and SFAS 144 require that we perform an assessment of whether there is an
indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To the extent a
reporting unit's carrying amount (as defined in SFAS 142) exceeds its fair
value, we must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In
the second step, we must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's
goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its
assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a
purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS 141, to its carrying amount,
both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is
required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the
year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our consolidated
statement of operations.
We had unamortized goodwill of approximately $195 million and unamortized
identifiable intangible assets in the amount of approximately $60 million at
December 31, 2001, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of
SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, we evaluated
our intangible assets and determined that our right to operate our Connecticut
OTBs and our trade name with net carrying amounts of approximately $11.7 million
and $30.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001, have indefinite useful
lives and, accordingly, we ceased amortization as of January 1, 2002. In
addition, as required by SFAS 142, we reclassified our employee work force
intangible asset with a net carrying value of approximately $3.2 million, net of
related deferred tax liabilities, to goodwill effective January 1, 2002.
Amortization expense of these intangible assets and goodwill was approximately
$14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. We also evaluated the
remaining useful lives of our intangible assets that will continue to be
amortized and have determined that no revision to the useful lives will be
required. We completed our initial impairment review of intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives during the first quarter of 2002 with no material
adjustments to the December 31, 2001 balances for these assets. We expect to
complete our initial impairment review of goodwill by the end of the second
quarter 2002. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting
SFAS 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate whether any transitional
impairment losses associated with our goodwill will be required to be
recognized.
SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR
THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
("SFAS 121"). However, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121
for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. SFAS 144 supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion
No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF
A SEGMENT OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING
EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS, for the disposal of a segment of a business. However,
SFAS 144 retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations
separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component
of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in
distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. SFAS 144 also amends
ARB No. 51, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, to eliminate the exception to
consolidation for a temporarily controlled subsidiary. We adopted SFAS 144
effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 for long-lived assets held
for sale had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the
first quarter of 2002 because the impairment assessment under SFAS 144 is
largely unchanged from SFAS 121. The provisions of this statement for assets
held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be applied
prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated disposal activities and
therefore, will depend on future actions initiated by management. As a result,
we cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of SFAS 144 will have on
our financial statements with respect to future disposal decisions, if any.

The aggregate intangible amortization expense for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2002 was approximately $386. The estimated intangible asset
amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2002 and for each of
the subsequent four years ending December 31, 2006 are $1,765, $1,765,
$1,480, $732 and $445, respectively.
The table below reconciles the change in the carrying amount of goodwill,
by operating segment, for the period from December 31, 2001 to March 31,
2002. The Company recorded a $3,170 increase in goodwill at January 1, 2002
in connection with the reclassification of employee work force intangible
assets of $5,283 less related deferred tax liability of $2,113 acquired prior
to July 1, 2001 that did not meet the criteria for recognition apart from
goodwill under SFAS 141.

(7) RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 19, 2002, the Company executed a letter of intent to purchase 65%
of the equity of Serigrafica Chilena S.A., or SERCHI. The purchase price
will be $3.9 million in cash payable at closing and up to an additional $4.4
million in cash or stock payable upon the achievement of certain financial
performance levels of SERCHI over the next four years. The closing of the
transaction is subject to certain conditions, including execution of
definitive agreements and completion of due diligence.
On February 26, 2002, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire
MDI Entertainment, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at
approximately $26 million. On February 28, 2002, a class action suit on
behalf of MDI's public stockholders was filed against multiple parties,
including the Company and MDI, to enjoin the proposed acquisition on the
grounds that the value of MDI's common stock is in excess of the amount
provided for in the Company's letter of intent. On May 8, 2002, the Company
and MDI announced that they had mutually and amicably terminated negotiations
with respect to that contemplated acquisition. The announcement followed
MDI's announcement that it had received a proposal from a third party to
acquire a majority interest in MDI for $3.30 per share in cash. In light of
this development, the Company believes that the lawsuit currently pending
relating to the now terminated transaction is subject to dismissal.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002
BACKGROUND
Effective April 27, 2001, we changed our corporate name from Autotote
Corporation to Scientific Games Corporation. On January 29, 2002 we transferred
the listing of our Class A common stock to the Nasdaq National Market from the
American Stock Exchange and changed our trading symbol to "SGMS."
The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of March 31,
2002 and the results of its operations for the three-month period ended March
31, 2002, compared to the same period in the prior year. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001,
included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We operate in four business segments: Lottery Group, Pari-mutuel Group,
Venue Management Group and Telecommunications Products Group. Our Lottery Group
provides instant tickets and related services and lottery systems. Instant
ticket and related services includes ticket design and manufacturing as well as
value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support,
inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. In addition, this
division includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell
to both lottery and non-lottery customers. Our lottery systems business includes
the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation
of both instant ticket and on-line lottery games, point-of-sale terminal
hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and
ongoing support and maintenance services for these products. This product line
also includes software and hardware and support service for sports betting and
credit card processing systems.
Our Pari-mutuel Group is comprised of our North American and international
on-track, off-track and inter-track pari-mutuel services, simulcasting and
communications services, and video gaming, as well as sales of pari-mutuel
systems and equipment.
Our Venue Management Group is comprised of our Connecticut off-track
betting operations, and our Dutch on-track and off-track betting operations.
Our Telecommunications Products Group is comprised of our prepaid cellular
phone cards business.
Our revenues are derived from two principal sources: service revenues and
sales revenues. Service revenues are earned pursuant to multi-year contracts to
provide instant tickets and related services and on-line lottery and pari-mutuel
wagering systems and services, or are derived from wagering by customers at
facilities we own or lease. Sales revenues are derived from sales of prepaid
phone cards and from the sale of wagering systems, equipment, and software
licenses.
The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise
the weakest season for our pari-mutuel wagering business. As a result of
inclement weather during the winter months, a number of racetracks do not
operate and those that do operate often experience missed racing days. This
adversely affects the amounts wagered and our corresponding service revenues.
Wagering equipment sales and software license revenues usually reflect a limited
number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis.
Consequently, revenues and operating results can vary substantially from period
to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment
sales and software licensing transactions. In addition, instant ticket and
prepaid phone card sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract
awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail
sales and general economic conditions. Operating results may also vary
significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of
business units in each period.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001
REVENUE ANALYSIS
Lottery Group revenue of $60.0 million in the three months ended March 31,
2002 improved $3.9 million from the same period in 2001. A $4.9 million increase
in service revenue is attributable to: an incremental $4.5 million growth in our
on-line lottery business due to the start-up of the on-line lotteries in Maine
and Iowa in July 2001 and the start-up of the South Carolina Educational Lottery
in January 2002, $1.2 million growth in our instant ticket lottery business due
primarily to the start-up of the South Carolina Educational Lottery in December
2001, and $1.5 million growth in our cooperative lottery services business.
These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease resulting from
the absence of the French lottery business that was sold in the second quarter
of 2001 and a $1.0 million reduction in lottery equipment sales.
Pari-mutuel Group service revenue of $19.6 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 increased $0.3 million from the same period in 2001 as
revenue improvements in the North American racing operations, NASRIN(TM)
services and simulcasting services were partially offset by lower revenues in
the French operations and the effect of the lower revenues in the German racing
operations due to lower simulcasting services and the unfavorable impact of Euro
exchange rate on revenues. Sales revenue of $1.4 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 decreased $8.3 million from same period in 2001 due to
completion in 2001 of a system and terminals sale to our customer in Turkey and
non-recurring sales of terminals in 2001 to other foreign customers.
Venue Management Group service revenue of $14.8 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 was $0.7 million lower than in the same period in 2001,
primarily reflecting lower Handle related revenue in the Connecticut OTB
operations following the closing of the Milford jai-alai fronton.
19
<Page>
Telecommunications Products Group sales revenue of $10.8 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2002 was $0.7 million lower than in the same period
in 2001, reflecting continued competitive price reductions which offset a 23%
growth in the volume of tickets produced.
GROSS PROFIT ANALYSIS
The total gross profit earned, exclusive of depreciation and amortization,
of $44.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $5.2 million
from the same period in 2001. This increase included $9.3 million in improved
gross margins in the service businesses that resulted primarily from the new
lotteries, and higher cooperative services revenues and North American
pari-mutuel revenues. These improvements were partially offset by a $4.1 million
decrease in sales margins reflecting the reduced sales of equipment and systems
to foreign customers and the price related margin reductions in the
Telecommunications Products Group.
The Lottery Group gross profit of $26.4 million, or 44% of revenues,
increased $8.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $18.3
million, or 33% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. Gross margin
improvements were realized as a result of the additions of the Maine and Iowa
on-line lotteries in July 2001 and the start-up of the South Carolina
Educational lotteries in December 2001 and January 2002, growth in cooperative
services revenues, and cost reductions in instant ticket printing. These margin
improvements were partially offset by a reduction in margins due to lower
lottery equipment sales and the sale of the French lottery business in the
second quarter of 2001.
Pari-mutuel Group gross profit of $9.8 million, or 46% of revenues, in the
three months ended March 31, 2002, decreased $1.9 million from $11.6 million,
or 40% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. Of such margin reduction,
$2.7 million, primarily attributable to lower systems and equipment sales to
foreign customers, was partially offset by $0.8 million margin improvements
on continued growth of the North American operations and the benefits from
on-going cost reduction programs.
Venue Management Group gross profit of $4.6 million, or 30% of revenues, in
the three months ended March 31, 2002, increased $0.1 million from $4.5 million,
or 29% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. This improvement primarily
reflects the effect of the new operating agreement in The Netherlands,
partially offset by Handle-related margin reductions due to the closing of a
jai alai fronton in Connecticut.
The Telecommunications Products Group gross profit of $3.8 million, or 35%
of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $1.1 million
from $4.9 million, or 43% of revenues, in the same period in 2001 as a 23%
increase in sales volume was offset by continued competitive price reductions.
EXPENSE ANALYSIS
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $14.4 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2002 were $0.2 million lower than in the same period in
2001 primarily as a result of the sale of the French lottery business in the
second quarter of 2001.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $10.4 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 decreased $3.2 million from $13.6 million in the same
period in 2001. Depreciation expense was $0.1 million higher in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 than in the same period in 2001, primarily as a result of
higher depreciation on new computer systems and terminals acquired in connection
with the start-up of the new on-line and instant ticket lotteries. Amortization
expense was $3.3 million lower in the three months ended March 31, 2002 than in
the same period in 2001, primarily as a result of the adoption of SFAS 141 and
SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, and the July 1, 2001 reclassifications of
previously estimated acquired intangible assets which were made as a result of
the finalization of the SGHC purchase price allocation.
Interest expense of $11.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002
decreased $2.1 million from $13.6 million in the same period in 2001 as a result
of lower average outstanding debt levels and lower average interest rates.
20
<Page>
INCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)
Income tax expense was $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31,
2002. The expense primarily reflects foreign and state taxes, partially offset
by a $0.4 million reversal of deferred taxes provided in connection with the
acquisition of SGHC. The income tax benefit of $0.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2001 primarily reflects a $1.1 million reversal of deferred
taxes provided in connection with the acquisition of SGHC and an anticipated
recovery of previously paid federal taxes, partially offset by federal
alternative minimum tax, state taxes and foreign taxes. The deferred tax benefit
was reduced in the three months ended March 31, 2002, reflecting the
above-mentioned changes in accounting for acquired intangible assets. No current
tax benefit has been recognized on domestic operating losses in either period.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL
In order to finance the September 2000 SGHC acquisition and refinance
substantially all of the then existing indebtedness of the Company, we conducted
a series of financings. As a result, our capital structure changed significantly
and, among other things, we are a significantly leveraged company. As a result
of the acquisition and debt refinancing, we have total indebtedness outstanding
of approximately $441.8 million at March 31, 2002. We also recorded a
substantial increase in goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with
the SGHC acquisition and a corresponding increase in amortization expense
through December 31, 2001.
Our financing arrangements impose certain limitations on our operations and
our subsidiaries' operations, including the maintenance of certain leverage,
coverage and net worth ratios. In addition, our financing arrangements also
restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to finance future
operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities, by, among
other things, limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends, redeem capital stock, make certain investments, engage in sale-lease
back transactions, consummate certain asset sales, and create certain liens and
other encumbrances on our assets. In March 2001, as a result of the financial
performance of SGHC prior to its acquisition by us, certain transitional and
operational matters occurring through December 31, 2000, and the timing of
certain anticipated capital expenditures and associated borrowings in 2001,
management and our lenders amended certain limitations to be less restrictive.
Among other changes, the credit facility was modified so that the planned
step-downs in fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios were delayed by
up to nine months through September 30, 2002. While we were in compliance with
these covenants at March 31, 2002 and expect to continue to remain in compliance
over the next 12 months, no assurances can be provided that we will be able to
do so or that we will be able to continue to meet the covenant requirements
beyond 12 months.
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include
obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum
operating lease obligations, and they have not changed materially since December
31, 2001.
Our revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2006, provides
for borrowings up to $65.0 million to be used for working capital and general
corporate purpose loans and for letters of credit. At March 31, 2002, we had
outstanding borrowings of $19.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of
$19.3 million under this facility leaving us with a total availability of $26.7
million as compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 2001. Our ability to
continue to borrow under the revolving credit facility will depend on remaining
in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including maintenance
of specified financial covenants. Presently, we have not sought and, therefore,
do not have any other financing commitments.
Our convertible preferred stock requires dividend payments at a rate of 6%
per annum. To date, we have satisfied the dividend requirement using additional
shares of preferred stock. The terms of the convertible preferred stock provide
us with the flexibility to satisfy the dividend in cash commencing on September
30, 2002, the date of the ninth quarterly dividend, subject to bank approval. We
expect that we will continue to make such payments in-kind.
Our pari-mutuel wagering and on-line lottery systems service contracts
require us to, among other things, maintain the central computing system and
related hardware in efficient working order, provide added software
functionality upon request, provide on-site computer operators, and furnish
necessary supplies. Our primary expenditures associated with these services are
personnel and related costs which are expensed as incurred and are included in
Operating Expenses -- Services in the consolidated statements of operations.
Historically, the revenues we derive from our service contracts have exceeded
the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations under these
pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts. We expect that we
will continue to realize positive cash flow and operating income as we extend or
renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new
contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements
in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective
methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our
customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively
impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any
other material short term or long term obligations or commitments pursuant to
these service contracts.
21
<Page>
Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and on-line lottery contracts. Once
awarded, these contracts generally require significant up-front capital
expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and
equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically we
have funded these up front costs through cash flows generated from operations,
available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability
to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our
then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to obtain additional financing
at commercially acceptable rates to finance the initial up front costs. Once
operational, long term service contracts have been accretive to our operating
cash flow. For fiscal 2002, we anticipate that capital expenditures and software
expenditures will be approximately $27 million. However, the actual level of
expenditures will ultimately depend on the extent to which we are successful in
winning new contracts. The amount of capital expenditures in fiscal 2003 and
beyond will largely depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning
new contracts. Furthermore, our pari-mutuel wagering network consists of
approximately 26,000 wagering terminals. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the
technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have
exhausted their useful lives. We presently have no commitments to replace our
existing terminal base and our obligation to upgrade the terminals is
discretionary. Servicing our installed terminal base requires that we maintain a
supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in
some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally
in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our
contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory
quantities to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as needed
basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations.
At March 31, 2002, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $31.7
million compared to $43.6 million at December 31, 2001. Our available cash and
borrowing capacities fluctuate principally based on the timing of collections
from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing
pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems contracts, repayment of our outstanding
debt and changes in our working capital position. The decrease in our available
cash and borrowing capacity from the levels at December 31, 2001 principally
reflects the use of cash on hand to partially fund our wagering systems and
other capital expenditures, to reduce accounts payable and accrued liabilities
and to make a semi-annual payment of interest accrued on our 12 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. Of this amount, $7.2 million was provided from
operations and $16.5 million was used as a result of changes in working capital.
The working capital changes occurred principally from (i) increases in accounts
receivables due to the new on-line and instant ticket lottery customers and the
timing of collections as compared to year-end, (ii) decreases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities due to payments related to the new lottery
accounts and obligations incurred in connection with the acquisition of SGHC,
and (iii) a decrease in accrued interest as the result of the semi-annual
interest payment on the 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes. In this period, we
invested $6.8 million for wagering systems and capital expenditures, $5.1
million in software expenditures and other investments, and repaid $2.2 million
on long-term debt. These cash expenditures were funded primarily with net cash
provided by operating activities, cash on hand, $4.3 million of borrowings under
our revolving credit facility and $1.2 million proceeds from the issuance of
common stock.
A significant portion of our cash flows from operations must be used to pay
our interest expense and repay our indebtedness, which will reduce the funds
that would otherwise be available to us for our operations and capital
expenditures. Interest expense on our outstanding debt was approximately $11.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 including approximately $0.6
million of non-cash charges. Approximately one-third of our debt is in variable
rate instruments. Consequently, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest
rates. The effect of a 0.125% change in the interest rates associated with our
unhedged variable rate debt will result in a change of approximately $187,000
per year in our interest expense assuming no change in our outstanding
borrowings. To reduce the risks associated with fluctuations in the market
interest rates and in response to the requirements of our credit facility, we
entered into three interest rate swap contracts for an aggregate notional amount
of $140 million. These interest rate swaps obligate us to pay a fixed LIBOR rate
and entitle us to receive a variable LIBOR rate on an aggregate $140 million
notional amount of debt thereby creating the equivalent of fixed rate debt until
May 30, 2003. We have structured these interest rate swap agreements and we
intend to structure future interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge
accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 133. Changes in the fair value of
interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset
the variability of cash flows associated with variable rate credit facility
obligations are reported as a component of stockholders' equity. These amounts
are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the
hedged credit facility obligation in the same period in which the related
interest affects operations.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available
borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to
meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the
foreseeable future; however, we cannot assure you that this will be the case.
While we are not aware of any particular trends, our lottery contracts
periodically renew and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in
sustaining our cash flow from operations through renewal of our existing
contracts or through the addition of new contracts. In addition, lottery
customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide
performance bonds in connection with each state contract. Because of financial
and economic events that have occurred this past year, such as the September 11
attack, the bond market is experiencing unusual contraction, and we cannot
assure you that we will continue
22
<Page>
to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at
all. While we are not aware of any reason to do so, if we need to refinance all
or part of our indebtedness, including our 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on
or before their maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of
performance bonds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new
financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our revolving
credit facility and our 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on commercially
reasonable terms or at all.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will,"
"estimate," "intend," "continue," "believe," "except" or "anticipate," or the
negatives thereof, variations thereon or similar terminology. The
forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are
generally located in the material set forth under the heading "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" but
may be found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements
generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based
upon management's reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we
believe that the plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, such plans or objectives may not be
achieved.
Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to
unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:
- the availability and adequacy of our cash flow to satisfy our
obligations, including our debt service obligations and our need for
additional funds required to support capital improvements, development
and acquisitions;
- economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our
local and regional markets;
- changes or developments in the laws, regulations or taxes in the gaming
and lottery industries;
- actions taken or omitted to be taken by third parties, including
customers, suppliers, competitors, members and shareholders, as well as
legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental authorities;
- changes in business strategy, capital improvements, development plans,
including those due to environmental remediation concerns, or changes in
personnel or their compensation, including federal, state and local
minimum wage requirements;
- an inability to renew or early termination of our contracts;
- an inability to engage in future acquisitions;
- the loss of any license or permit, including the failure to obtain an
unconditional renewal of a required gaming license on a timely basis; and
- resolution of any pending or future litigation in a manner adverse to us.
Actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We
will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change
in the future.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET
RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a
long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement
amends FASB Statement No. 19, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY OIL AND GAS
PRODUCING COMPANIES, and it applies to all entities. We are required to adopt
SFAS 143, effective for calendar year 2003. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS 143 to have a material impact on our future consolidated operations or
financial position, as we are now constituted.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, RESCISSION OF FASB
STATEMENTS NO. 4, 44 AND 64, AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 13, AND
TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 updates, clarifies and
simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 145 rescinds Statement 4,
which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of
related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now
be used to classify those gains and losses because Statement 4 has been
rescinded. Statement 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for
the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980.
Because the transition has been completed, Statement 44 is no longer
necessary.
23
<Page>
SFAS 145 amends Statement 13 to require that certain lease modifications that
have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in
the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This amendment is consistent
with the FASB's goal of requiring similar accounting treatment for transactions
that have similar economic effects. SFAS 145 also makes technical corrections to
existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature,
in some instances, they may change accounting practice. We are required to adopt
SFAS 145, effective for calendar year 2003. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS 145 to have a material impact on our future consolidated operations or
financial position, as we are now constituted.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 19, 2002, we executed a letter of intent to purchase 65% of the
equity of Serigrafica Chilena S.A., or SERCHI. The purchase price will be $3.9
million in cash payable at closing and up to an additional $4.4 million in cash
or stock payable upon the achievement of certain financial performance levels of
SERCHI over the next four years. The closing of the transaction is subject to
certain conditions, including execution of definitive agreements and completion
of due diligence.
On February 26, 2002, we executed a letter of intent to acquire MDI
Entertainment, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $26
million. On February 28, 2002, a class action suit on behalf of MDI's public
stockholders was filed against multiple parties, including us and MDI, to enjoin
the proposed acquisition on the grounds that the value of MDI's common stock is
in excess of the amount provided for in our letter of intent. On May 8, 2002, we
and MDI announced that we had mutually and amicably terminated negotiations with
respect to that contemplated acquisition. The announcement followed MDI's
announcement that it had received a proposal from a third party to acquire a
majority interest in MDI for $3.30 per share in cash. In light of this
development, we believe that the lawsuit currently pending relating to our now
terminated transaction is subject to dismissal.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our products and services are sold to a diverse group of customers
throughout the world. As such, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
as a result of changes in general economic conditions, sources of supply,
competition, foreign exchange rates, tax reform, litigation and regulatory
developments. The diversity and breadth of our products and geographic
operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes in any event would materially
affect our financial position. Additionally, as a result of the diversity of our
customer base, we do not consider ourselves exposed to concentration of credit
risks. These risks are further minimized by setting credit limits, ongoing
monitoring of customer account balances, and assessment of the customers'
financial strengths.
Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our
operations. Inflationary pressures would be significant to our business if raw
materials used for instant lottery ticket production, prepaid phone card
production or terminal manufacturing are significantly affected. Available
supply from the paper and electronics industries tends to fluctuate and prices
may be affected by supply.
For fiscal 2001, inflation was not a significant factor in our results of
operations, and we were not impacted by significant pricing changes in our
costs, except for personnel related expenditures. We are unable to forecast the
prices or supply of substrate, component parts or other raw materials in 2002,
but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially
affect our operating results.
In certain limited cases, our lottery contracts with our customers contain
provisions to adjust for inflation on an annual basis, but we cannot be assured
that this adjustment would cover raw material price increases or other costs of
services. While we have long-term and generally satisfactory relationships with
most of our suppliers, we also believe alternative sources to meet our raw
material and production needs are available.
24
<Page>
In the normal course of business, we our exposed to fluctuations in
interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to
sustain our operations. At December 31, 2001, approximately one-third of our
debt was in fixed rate instruments. We consider the fair value of all financial
instruments to be not materially different from their carrying value at
year-end. The following table provides information about our financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected
maturity dates.

In November 2000, to reduce the risks associated with fluctuations in
market interest rates and in response to requirements in the Facility (see
Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December
31, 2001 in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K), we entered into three
interest rate swap contracts for an aggregate notional amount of $140,000.
The following table provides information about our derivative financial
instruments. The table presents notional amounts and weighted-average swap
rates by contractual maturity dates. We do not hold any market risk
instruments for trading purposes.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as
the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S.
dollars in consolidation. Assets and liabilities outside the United States are
primarily located in the United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, France and
Austria. Our investment in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other
than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term investments.
Accordingly, we do not hedge these net investments. Translation gains and losses
historically have not been material. We manage our foreign currency exchange
risks on a global basis by one or more of the following: (i) securing payment
from our customers in U.S. dollars, when possible, (ii) utilizing borrowings
denominated in foreign currency, and (iii) entering into foreign currency
exchange contracts. In addition, a significant portion of the cost attributable
to our foreign operations is incurred in the local currencies. We believe that a
10% adverse change in currency exchange rates would not have a significant
adverse effect on our net earnings or cash flows. We may, from time to time,
enter into foreign currency exchange or other contracts to hedge the risk
associated with certain firm sales commitments, anticipated revenue streams and
certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Our cash and cash equivalents and investments are in high-quality
securities placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit
ratings. This investment policy limits our exposure to concentration of credit
risks.
