forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such statements

and its subsequent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and other reports and filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
General
- -------
The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in February each year and
fiscal 2001 ends on February 24, 2001.
The Company has derived substantially all of its revenues from the rendering of
services and the sale or supply of computerized online lottery systems and
components to government-authorized lotteries. Service revenues have been
derived primarily from lottery service contracts. These contracts are typically
at least five years in duration, and are generally based upon a percentage of a
lottery's gross online lottery sales. These percentages vary depending on the
size of the lottery and the scope of services provided to the lottery. Product
sale revenues have been derived primarily from the installation of new online
lottery systems, installation of new software and sales of lottery terminals and
equipment in connection with the expansion of existing lottery systems. The size
and timing of these transactions have resulted in variability in product sale
revenues from period to period. The Company currently anticipates that product
sales during fiscal 2001 will be in a range of $175.0 million to $190.0 million,
which reflects the delays announced on July 6, 2000 of sales to certain
customers in Europe and Asia.
The Company has taken steps to broaden its offerings of high-volume transaction
processing services outside of its core business of providing online lottery
services. For example, the Company's Dreamport subsidiary ("Dreamport")
provides gaming technology and a comprehensive array of management, development
and strategic services to the gaming and entertainment markets. The Company's
Europrint subsidiary is among the world's largest providers of media promotional
games and the Company's IGI subsidiary has pioneered the development of
interactive, televised lottery games. Also, the Company's UWin! subsidiary
provides secure Internet gaming solutions for government-authorized wagering,
where permitted.
The Company's business is highly regulated, and the competition to secure new
government contracts is often intense. Awards of contracts to the Company are,
from time to time, challenged by competitors. Further, there have been and may
continue to be investigations of various types, including grand jury
investigations, conducted by governmental authorities into possible
improprieties and wrongdoing in connection with efforts to obtain and/or the
awarding of lottery contracts and related matters. In light of the fact that
such investigations frequently are conducted in secret, the Company would not
necessarily know of the existence of an investigation which might involve the
Company. Because the Company's reputation for integrity is an important factor
in its business dealings with lottery and other government agencies, if
government authorities were to make an allegation of, or if there were to be a
finding of, improper conduct on the part of or attributable to the Company in
any matter, such an allegation or finding could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, including its ability to retain existing contracts
and to obtain new or renewal contracts. In addition, continuing adverse
publicity resulting from these investigations and
-10-
11
related matters could have such a material adverse effect. See "Legal
Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 herein; Part I, Item 1 - "Certain Factors That
May Affect Future Performance - Maintenance of Business Relationships and
Certain Legal Matters" and Part I, Item 3 - "Legal Proceedings" in the Company's
fiscal 2000 annual report on Form 10-K; and Note G to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's fiscal 2000 annual report on Form 10-K for further
information concerning these matters and other contingencies.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $242.0 million, representing
a $3.3 million, or 1.4%, increase over revenues of $238.7 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000.
Service revenues, including lottery and other services, in the fiscal 2001 first
quarter were $222.6 million, representing an $11.4 million, or 5.4%, increase
over service revenues of $211.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
This increase reflects an 11.1% growth in international lottery service revenues
and a 2.2% increase in domestic lottery service revenues.
Lottery sales by the Company's international customers increased 12.5% in the
fiscal 2001 first quarter compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2000
primarily driven by growth in Brazil and the launch of the National Lottery in
South Africa. This increase was partially offset by the impact of the reduction
in the dollar value of foreign currencies, resulting in an 11.1% increase in the
Company's international lottery service revenues.
In the fiscal 2001 first quarter, lottery sales by the Company's domestic
customers increased almost 8% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
driven by higher jackpot activity and continued improvements in Texas. This
increase, partially offset by a contractual rate reduction in Texas and the loss
of two contracts, resulted in a 2.2% increase in the Company's domestic service
revenues.
As reported in the July 6, 2000 press releases, the Rhode Island State
Legislature passed their state budget on June 23, 2000, which included
reductions in the fees paid to vendors and suppliers to the state's two video
lottery operations at Lincoln Park and Newport Jai-Alai, including Dreamport.
The Rhode Island Legislature's decision to reduce Dreamport's compensation took
effect July 1, 2000. The reduction's impact on the Company's service revenues
is expected to be $3.0 to $3.5 million for the remainder of fiscal 2001.
Additionally, the scheduled start-up date for Colombia's National Lottery has
been postponed due to several unforeseen political, legal, and administrative
delays and while management believes these issues will be resolved, the system
start-up delay is expected to be at least four weeks. The delay's impact on
service revenues is expected to be $2.0 to $3.0 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2001.
Product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $19.4 million, a decrease
of $8.1 million from the $27.5 million of product sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000. Product sale volumes in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were lower
than planned due to the timing of delivery and acceptance of certain shipments
to customers. The Company expects to record these sales during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company sold approximately 400 lottery terminals
during the first quarter of fiscal 2001, as compared to approximately 1,000
lottery terminals during the fiscal 2000 first quarter.
Gross margins on service revenues improved from 33.7% in the fiscal 2000 first
quarter to 35.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 primarily due to unusually
high domestic jackpot activity in a number of jurisdictions resulting in
increased ticket sales.
Gross margins on product sales fluctuate depending on the mix, volume and timing
of product sales contracts. Gross margins on product sales in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001 were 18.4% compared to 34.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
primarily due to the inclusion of a low-margin central system conversion in the
overall product mix. Management is currently examining the possibility of cost
over-runs and their projected amounts on projects the Company is currently
implementing in certain jurisdictions. Management expects to accrue any such
cost over-runs once the amounts become probable and estimable. Any such
accruals would have a negative impact on product sale gross margins.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $47.1 million,
representing a $4.4 million, or 10.4%, increase over operating expenses of $42.7
million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. This increase was driven by
increased efforts to enhance the Company's Internet offerings. As a percentage
of revenues, operating expenses were 19.5% and 17.9% during the first quarters
of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Other income was $.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 versus a net
expense of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, principally due to
lower net foreign exchange losses associated with the Company's global asset
protection and foreign exchange management programs.
-11-
12
The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 41% in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 to 39% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 principally due to
lower state taxes and increased research and development tax credits.
Recent Developments
- -------------------
On July 6, 2000, the Company issued press releases announcing certain changes
in its top management. Additionally, these press releases set forth certain
unfavorable developments that had recently come to light. As a result, the
Company announced that it expects lower than anticipated earnings for the
fiscal 2001 second quarter and full fiscal year, and further, that a value
assessment of the Company's operations will be conducted by the Board of
Directors over the next 45 to 60 days. The severance payments relating to the
management changes will result, and the outcome of the value assessment is
likely to result, in a special charge to earnings. These special charges will
be recorded at such time as they become probable and estimable. (Reference is
made to the two July 6, 2000 press releases attached as Exhibit 99 to this
report.)
Changes in Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------------------------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company generated $39.4 million of
cash from operations. This cash was primarily used to fund the purchase of $33.8
million of systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts.
Trade accounts receivable decreased by $8.2 million, from $115.4 million at
February 26, 2000 to $107.2 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to the lower
level of product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.
Inventories increased by $5.5 million, from $67.4 million at February 26, 2000
to $72.9 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to spending related to product
sales expected to be delivered during the remainder of fiscal 2001.
Other current assets increased by $5.4 million, from $19.3 million at February
26, 2000 to $24.7 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to the timing of
spending related to prepaid software license and maintenance fees.
The cost of systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts increased
by $19.4 million, from $1,231.8 million at February 26, 2000 to $1,251.2 million
at May 27, 2000. This increase reflects the continuing installation of new
lottery systems in Illinois and Columbia and the expansion of lottery systems in
several domestic and international locations.
Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates increased by $10.2
million, from $25.9 million at February 26, 2000 to $36.1 million at May 27,
2000, primarily due to the Company's previously announced investment in Indicii
Salus, a leading internet security company.
Other assets increased by $9.3 million, from $119.3 million at February 26, 2000
to $128.6 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to deposits on fixed assets
that will be returned to the Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 when
permanent financing is obtained.
Accounts payable decreased by $11.3 million, from $53.1 million at February 26,
2000 to $41.8 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to the timing of payments
relating to ongoing lottery system installations.
Employee compensation decreased by $10.6 million, from $30.1 million at February
26, 2000 to $19.5 million at May 27, 2000, primarily due to the payment of
fiscal 2000 management incentive compensation and employee profit sharing.
Income taxes payable (which are reported net of income tax refunds receivable)
increased by $8.2 million, from $49.4 million at February 26, 2000 to $57.6
million at May 27, 2000. This increase is primarily due to the timing of income
tax payments.
The Company's business is capital-intensive. Although it is not possible to
estimate precisely due to the nature of the business, the Company currently
anticipates that the level of capital expenditures for systems, equipment and
other assets relating to contracts required during fiscal 2001 will be in a
range of $160.0 million to $180.0 million. The principal sources of liquidity
for the Company are expected to be cash generated from operations and borrowings
under the Company's Credit Facility. As of May 27, 2000 the Company had utilized
approximately $46 million of its $400 million Credit Facility. The

Company currently expects that its cash flow from operations and available
borrowings under its Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund its anticipated
working capital and ordinary capital expenditure needs, to service its debt
obligations and to fund anticipated internal growth in the foreseeable future.
Market Risk Disclosures
- -----------------------
The primary market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments and
exposures is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates
and foreign currency rates. The Company's exposure to commodity price changes is
not considered material and is managed through its procurement and sales
practices. The Company did not own any marketable equity securities during the
first quarter of fiscal 2001.
Interest rates
- --------------
Interest rate market risk is estimated as the potential change in the fair value
of the Company's total debt or current earnings resulting from a hypothetical
10% adverse change in interest rates. At May 27, 2000, the estimated fair value
of the Company's fixed rate debt, as determined by an independent investment
banker, approximated $286.2 million. After taking into consideration $150.0
million of interest rate swaps in effect at May 27, 2000, a hypothetical 10%
increase in interest rates would change the estimated fair value of the
Company's fixed rate debt to $285.6 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease in
interest rates would change the estimated fair value of the Company's fixed rate
debt to $291.3 million.
A hypothetical 10% adverse or favorable change in interest rates applied to
variable rate debt would not have a material affect on current earnings.
The Company uses various techniques to adjust the risk associated with future
changes in interest rates, including entering into interest rate swaps and the
private placement of seven- and 10-year fixed rate debt.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
- -------------------------------
Foreign exchange exposures arise from current transactions and anticipated
transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional
currency and from the translation of foreign currency balance sheet accounts
into United States dollar balance sheet accounts.
The Company seeks to manage its foreign exchange risk by attempting to secure
payment from its customers in United States dollars, by sharing risk with its
customers, by utilizing foreign currency borrowings, by leading and lagging
receipts and payments and by entering into foreign currency exchange and option
contracts. In addition, a significant portion of the costs attributable to the
Company's foreign currency revenues are payable in the local currencies.
Whenever possible, the Company negotiates clauses into its contracts that allow
for price adjustments should a material change in foreign exchange rates occur.
The Company, from time to time, enters into foreign currency exchange and option
contracts to reduce the exposure associated with current transactions and
anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies. However, the Company
does not engage in currency speculation. At May 27, 2000, a hypothetical 10%
adverse change in foreign exchange rates would result in a translation loss of
$15.4 million that would be recorded in the equity section of the Company's
balance sheet.
-13-
14
At May 27, 2000, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates
would result in a net transaction loss of $2.8 million, which would be recorded
in current earnings after considering the effects of foreign exchange contracts
currently in place.
At May 27, 2000, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates
would result in a net reduction of cash flows from anticipatory transactions in
fiscal 2001 by $8.3 million after considering the effects of foreign exchange
contracts currently in place. The percentage of fiscal 2001 anticipatory cash
flows that were hedged varied throughout the first quarter of fiscal 2001, but
averaged 20%.
As of May 27, 2000, the Company had contracts for the sale of foreign currency
of approximately $79.5 million (primarily South African rand, Spanish pesetas,
and pounds sterling) and contracts for the purchase of foreign currency of
approximately $59.7 million (primarily pounds sterling).

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
In May 2000, Sazka, a.s., a lottery customer of the Company in the Czech
Republic ("Sazka"), filed a Request for Arbitration with the International
Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber of Commerce in Vienna,
Austria, seeking to arbitrate certain business and contractual issues under the
Company's online lottery contract with Sazka. Sazka seeks damages valued at
approximately US $2.6 million in connection with alleged delays in the recent
extensive expansion of the lottery sales network. Sazka also seeks a
determination that its online contract with the Company expires approximately
two years earlier than the date on which the Company maintains its contract
terminates. The Company, believing the claims made by Sazka to be without merit,
has filed a Memorandum in Reply and Counterclaim disputing such claims and
raising counterclaims for breach of contract by Sazka. The Company will continue
to vigorously defend itself and to press its counterclaims in these proceedings.
In May 2000, the National Lottery Commission, the United Kingdom lottery
regulatory authority, commenced an investigation into a lottery terminal
software malfunction in the United Kingdom in which, under certain rare
circumstances, a duplicate transaction was recorded on the Company's central
system while only one ticket was presented to the retailer. The Company first
identified this software malfunction in the United Kingdom in June 1998 and
corrected the malfunction in July 1998, but without notifying Camelot, the
operator of the United Kingdom National Lottery, as it should have done. The
Company is fully cooperating with the National Lottery Commission's
investigation. There can be no assurance, however, that the Commission's
investigation will not result in action by the Commission that could have
material adverse consequences to the Company. Among other things, it could
adversely impact the chances of Camelot to win a renewal license to operate the
United Kingdom's National Lottery commencing in October 2001. The Company has
entered into a contract with Camelot to supply lottery goods and services to
Camelot during the renewal license period in the event that Camelot is awarded
the renewal license. The National Lottery Commission is expected to announce an
award for the successor license period by August 31, 2000.
