PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
GTECH Corporation ("GTECH"), a global information technology company providing
software, networks and professional services that power high-performance,
transaction processing solutions, is the world's leading operator of
highly-secure online lottery transaction processing systems. GTECH, the wholly
owned subsidiary of GTECH Holdings Corporation ("Holdings"; collectively with
its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including GTECH, the "Company") currently
operates online lottery systems for, or supplies equipment and services to, 24
of the 39 online lottery authorities in the United States, and currently
operates, provides equipment and services to, or has entered into contracts to
operate or provide equipment and services in the future to, online lottery
systems for 58 of the 105 international online lottery authorities.
The Company provides integrated online lottery solutions, services and products
to governmental lottery authorities and governmental licensees worldwide. The
Company offers its customers a full range of lottery technology services,
including the design, assembly, installation, operation, maintenance and
marketing of online lottery systems and instant ticket support systems. The
Company's lottery systems consist of numerous lottery terminals located in
retail outlets, central computer systems, systems software and game software,
and communications equipment which connects the terminals and the central
computer systems.
Historically, the majority of the Company's lottery customers in the United
States have entered into long-term service contracts pursuant to which the
Company provides, operates and maintains the customers' online lottery systems
in return for a percentage of the gross lottery sales. Many of the Company's
international lottery customers have purchased their online lottery systems,
although some, especially lottery authorities in Eastern Europe and Latin
America, have entered into long-term service contracts with the Company. In
recent years there has been, in general, an industry movement away from product
sales in favor of long-term service contracts. In fiscal 1993, approximately 70%
of the Company's lottery revenues were derived from its portfolio of long-term
online lottery service contracts with substantially all of the remainder being
derived from lottery product sales. In fiscal 2002 (which ended on February 23,
2002) approximately 82% of the Company's lottery revenues were derived from
online lottery service contracts.
In recent years, lottery authorities have recognized that by offering new games
or products, they often are able to generate significant additional revenues. An
important part of the Company's strategy is to develop new products and services
for its customers in order to increase their lottery revenues. The Company's
principal online products and services introduced in recent years consist of
Keno, instant ticket support systems and services and televised lottery programs
such as BingoVision(TM). Together with the Lotteries Commission of South
Australia, the Company first introduced Keno in 1990. Keno is an online lottery
game which features drawings as often as every five minutes and is currently
offered by 15 of the Company's
customers. The Company currently provides instant ticket support services,
products and systems in 24 domestic jurisdictions and 23 jurisdictions outside
of the United States. The Company also offers customers television lottery
games. BingoVision(TM), the Company's best known television game, is a televised
bingo-based lottery game which is played in 10 jurisdictions.
In recent years, 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, since the start of fiscal 2000,
the Company has entered into agreements which permit bill payments over its
Brazilian and Chilean lottery networks.
GTECH was founded in 1980. Holdings acquired GTECH in a leveraged buy-out in
February 1990, in which members of then-senior management of GTECH participated.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 55 Technology Way, West
Greenwich, Rhode Island 02817, and its telephone number is (401) 392-1000.

Certain statements contained in this Report are 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 include, without limitation,
statements relating to (i) the future prospects for and stability of the lottery
industry and other businesses in which the Company is engaged or expects to be
engaged, (ii) the future operating and financial performance of the Company,
(iii) the ability of the Company to retain existing business and to obtain and
retain new business, and (iv) the results and effects of legal proceedings and
investigations. Such forward looking statements reflect management's assessment
based on information currently available, but are not guarantees and are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include but are not limited to those set forth below and elsewhere
in this report and in the Company's subsequent press releases and Form 10Qs, and
other reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE PERFORMANCE
The future performance of the Company's business is subject to the factors set
forth below, as well as the other considerations described elsewhere herein.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND OTHER ACTIONS AFFECTING THE ONLINE LOTTERY INDUSTRY
COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
In the United States and in many international jurisdictions where the Company
currently operates or seeks to do business, online lotteries are not permitted
unless expressly authorized by law. The Company may not be able to implement its
growth strategy and its business could be materially adversely affected if
jurisdictions that do not currently authorize lotteries do not approve online
lotteries or if those jurisdictions that currently authorize lotteries do not
continue to permit such activities.
Once authorized, the ongoing operations of lotteries and lottery operators are
typically subject to extensive and evolving regulation. Lottery authorities
generally conduct an intensive investigation of the winning vendor and its
employees prior to and after the award of a lottery contract. Lottery
authorities with which the Company does business may require the removal of any
of the Company's employees deemed to be unsuitable and are generally empowered
to disqualify the Company from receiving a lottery contract or operating a
lottery system as a result of any such investigation. Some jurisdictions also
require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from
persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage (typically 5% or
more) of its securities. The failure of these beneficial owners to submit to
such background checks and provide required disclosure could jeopardize the
award of a lottery contract to the Company or provide grounds for termination of
an existing lottery contract. Additional restrictions are often imposed by
international jurisdictions in which the Company markets its lottery systems on
foreign corporations, such as the Company, seeking to do business there.
- 3 -
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 wrong-doing 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
may not necessarily know of the existence of an investigation which might
involve it. Because the Company's reputation for integrity is an important
factor in its business dealings with lottery and other governmental agencies, a
governmental allegation or a finding of improper conduct on the Company's part
or attributable to it in any manner could have a material adverse effect on its
business, including its ability to retain existing contracts or to obtain new or
renewal contracts. In addition, continuing adverse publicity resulting from
these investigations and related matters could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's reputation and business. See Item 3 - "Legal Proceedings" and Note
F to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," below.
Finally, sales generated by online lottery games are dependent upon decisions
made by lottery authorities with respect to the operation of these games over
which the Company has no control, such as matters relating to the marketing and
prize payout features of online lottery games. Because the Company is typically
compensated in whole or in part based on a jurisdiction's gross online lottery
sales, lower than anticipated sales due to these factors could have a material
adverse effect on its revenues.
THE COMPANY'S LOTTERY OPERATIONS ARE DEPENDENT UPON ITS CONTINUED ABILITY TO
RETAIN AND EXTEND ITS EXISTING CONTRACTS AND WIN NEW CONTRACTS.
The Company derives the majority of its revenues and cash flow from its
portfolio of long-term facilities management contracts and operating contracts,
or collectively, its online lottery service contracts. Upon the expiration of a
contract, lottery authorities may award new contracts through a competitive
procurement process. In addition, the Company's lottery contracts typically
permit a lottery authority to terminate the contract at any time for failure to
perform and for other specified reasons, and many of the Company's contracts
permit the lottery authority to terminate the contract at will with limited
notice and do not specify the compensation, if any, to which the Company would
be entitled were such termination to occur.
Over the next 12 months, the Company expects that three of the Company's
significant online lottery service contracts will be the subject of competitive
procurement procedures to select contractors to supply lottery goods and
services upon the expiration of the Company's current contracts. Among these is
the contract for Brazil's national lottery, the Company's largest contract,
which accounted for approximately 10.7% of the Company's consolidated revenues
in fiscal 2002. The Company believes that, upon the expiration of the Company's
current contract, Caixa Economica Federal, the operator of Brazil's national
lottery, is likely to attempt to handle internally some non-lottery operations
currently performed by the Company under its contract and, with regard to the
remaining lottery operations, may seek to proceed with a competitive procurement
process calculated to result in multiple vendors to administer Brazil's national
lottery, which is presently administered solely by the Company. The Company's
other large contracts that will be subject to competitive
- 4 -
procurement over the next 12 months are the Company's California and Georgia
lottery contracts.
In addition, some of the Company's lottery contracts permit the lottery
authority to acquire title to the Company's system-related equipment and
software during the term of the contract or upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the contract, in some cases without paying the Company any
compensation related to the transfer of that equipment and software to the
lottery authority.
The termination of or failure to renew or extend one or more lottery contracts,
the renewal or extension of one or more lottery contracts on materially altered
terms or the loss of the Company's assets without compensation could, depending
upon the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition, results and prospects. See Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," below.
SLOW GROWTH OR DECLINES IN SALES OF ONLINE LOTTERY GOODS AND SERVICES COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S FUTURE REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY.
In recent years, as the United States lottery industry has matured, the Company
has experienced a downward trend in sales generated by certain of its United
States lottery customers. The Company's future success will depend, in part, on
the success of the lottery industry, as a whole, in attracting and retaining
players in the face of increased competition for the consumers' entertainment
dollar, as well as the Company's own success in developing innovative products
and systems to achieve this goal. The Company's future success also will depend,
in part, on its ability to develop innovative products and services to permit it
to successfully market transaction processing goods and services outside of the
lottery industry. The Company's failure to achieve these goals could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results and
prospects. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation," below.
THE COMPANY HAS SIGNIFICANT FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURE.
The Company's consolidated financial results are significantly affected by
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange rate
exposures arise from current transactions and anticipated transactions
denominated in currencies other than United States dollars and from the
translation of foreign currency balance sheet accounts into United States dollar
balance sheet accounts. The Company is exposed to currency exchange rate
fluctuations because a significant portion of its revenues is denominated in
currencies other than the United States dollar. These exchange rate fluctuations
have in the past adversely affected the Company's operating results and may
continue to adversely affect its results of operations and the value of its
assets outside the United States. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," below.
- 5 -
THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO THE ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL INSTABILITY RISKS
OF DOING BUSINESS IN FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS.
The Company is a global business and derives a substantial portion of its
revenue from its operations outside the United States. In particular, in fiscal
2002, the Company derived approximately 51% of its revenues from its
international operations and approximately 11.5% of its revenues from its
Brazilian operations alone (including 10.7% of its revenues from the National
Lottery of Brazil, one of the Company's largest customers). In addition, a
substantial portion of the Company's assets are held outside of the United
States. It is also exposed to more general risks of international operations,
including increased governmental regulation of the online lottery industry in
the markets where the Company operates; exchange controls or other currency
restrictions; and significant political instability.
The occurrence of any of these events in the markets where the Company operates
could jeopardize or limit its ability to transact business in those markets in
the manner it expects and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition, results and prospects.
THE COMPANY HAS A CONCENTRATED CUSTOMER BASE AND THE LOSS OF ANY OF ITS LARGER
CUSTOMERS COULD HARM ITS RESULTS.
Revenue from the Company's top ten customers accounted for approximately 57.6%
of its total revenue for the fiscal year ended February 23, 2002. If the Company
were to lose any of these larger customers, or if these larger customers
experience slow lottery ticket sales and consequently reduced lottery revenue,
the Company's business, financial condition, results and prospects could suffer.
THE COMPANY'S QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY.
The Company has experienced and may continue to experience significant
fluctuations in its operating results from quarter to quarter due to such
factors as the amount and timing of product sales, the occurrence of large
jackpots in lotteries (which increase the amount wagered and the Company's
revenue) and expenses incurred in connection with lottery start-ups.
Fluctuations in the Company's operating results from quarter to quarter may
cause its operating results to be below the expectations of securities analysts
and investors.
THE COMPANY OPERATES IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.
The online lottery industry is becoming increasingly competitive in the United
States and internationally, which could adversely affect the Company's ability
to win renewals of contracts from its existing customers or to win contract
awards from other lottery authorities. In addition, awards of contracts to the
Company are, from time to time, challenged by its competitors. Increased
competition also may have a material adverse effect on the profitability of
contracts which the Company does obtain. See "Competition" below.
- 6 -
THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER ITS
LOTTERY CONTRACTS.
The Company's lottery contracts typically permit termination of the contract at
any time for failure of GTECH to perform and for other specified reasons and
generally contain demanding implementation and performance schedules. Failure to
perform under these contracts may result in substantial monetary liquidated
damages, as well as contract termination. These provisions in the Company's
lottery contracts present an ongoing potential for substantial expense.
Lottery contracts also generally require the Company to post a performance bond,
which in some cases maybe substantial, to secure the Company's performance under
such contracts. The Company paid or incurred liquidated damages with respect to
its contracts equaling 0.14% 0.47%, 0.56%, 0.35% and 0.21% of its annual
revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. If the Company
incurs substantial liquidated damages in the future, it could significantly
reduce the amount of funds that it has available for other uses in its business
and may delay or prevent it from pursuing and achieving its growth strategy,
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, results and prospects.
THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES OR TO SATISFY
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY DEMANDS OF ITS CUSTOMERS.
Most of the Company's software and hardware products are based on proprietary
technologies. If the Company fails to develop its product and service offerings
to take advantage of technological developments, it may fall behind its
competitors and its business, financial condition, results and prospects could
suffer.
EXPANSION OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY FACES OPPOSITION.
Gaming opponents continue to persist in efforts to curtail the expansion of
legalized gaming. The Company can give no assurance that this opposition will
not succeed in preventing the legalization of online gaming in jurisdictions
where these activities are presently prohibited or prohibiting or limiting the
expansion of online gaming where it is currently permitted, in either case to
the detriment of the Company's business, financial condition, results and
prospects.
- 7 -
THE COMPANY RELIES ON ITS SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND KEY EMPLOYEES.
The Company's business prospects and future success depend, in part, upon its
ability to attract and to retain qualified managerial, marketing and technical
employees. Competition for such employees is sometimes intense, and the Company
may not succeed in hiring and retaining the executives and other employees that
it needs. The Company's loss of or inability to hire key employees could have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results and
prospects.
THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADVERSE DETERMINATIONS IN PENDING LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
At present the Company is party to a securities class action lawsuit filed
against it and some of its current and former officers and directors and to
other legal proceedings which are described more fully in this report in Item 3
under "Legal Proceedings." The Company may not prevail in any of those legal
proceedings. If the Company is not successful in defending these legal
proceedings, it could incur substantial monetary judgments or penalties or
damage to its reputation, and whether or not it is successful, the proceedings
may occupy the time and attention of its senior management.
CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS SINCE THE START OF FISCAL 2002
LOTTERY CONTRACT AWARDS
Since the start of fiscal 2002 (which ended on February 23, 2002), the Company
has received a number of contract awards and extensions from lottery
authorities.
NEW ONLINE CUSTOMERS. During fiscal 2002, the Company received awards to
install online systems from two new online customers. In July 2002, Lottery
Technology Services Corporation ("LTSC"), a consortium in which the Company
owns a 44% indirect interest, entered into a contract with the Bank of Taipei
to operate the Taiwan Public Welfare Lottery under a five year license. ACER,
Inc., a leading computer manufacturer and information technology company in
Taiwan, indirectly ownes the other 56% interest in LTSC. The Company is the
major technology and service provider to LTSC, which was awarded the Taiwan
contract following a competitive procurement process in which five consortia
submitted proposals. Online sales began under the Taiwan contract in January
2002. In June 2001, the Company signed a contract with Loterie Nationale in
Luxembourg to provide online lottery and instant ticket services, including
central system hardware and software. Online sales are scheduled to begin with
respect to the Loterie Nationale contract by November 2002.
OTHER NEW ONLINE CONTRACTS AND EXTENSIONS. Since the start of fiscal 2002, the
Company also has been awarded online contracts by, or has received contract
extensions from, a number of its existing customers.
- 8 -
In May 2001, following a competitive procurement process, the Company entered
into a contract with Totalizator Sportowy Sp. z.o.o., the Polish lottery
authority, to provide online lottery and instant-ticket services through
November 2011. In October 2001, the Company signed a new nine-year lottery
operations and services contract with the Texas Lottery commission to operate
the Texas Lottery's integrated online and instant-ticket games. The award of the
Texas lottery contract followed a competitive procurement.
In November 2001,following a competitive procurement, the Company signed a new
six-year facilities management contract to provide online lottery equipment and
services for the Kansas lottery authority. Since the commencement of fiscal
2002, the lottery authorities of Louisiana, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Kentucky,
New Mexico, the Slovak Republic and, in April 2002 (after the close of fiscal
2002), Washington have extended the terms of their online contracts with the
Company. In addition, SAZKA, the Czech lottery authority, entered into an
agreement with the Company to extend the Company's online contract as part of
the resolution of certain matters which were to be the subject of an
arbitration between the parties.
During fiscal 2002, the Company also reported that Polla Chilena de Beneficencia
S.A., the Chilean lottery authority, had selected another vendor to provide
equipment and services for a new online and instant ticket lottery system at the
expiration of the Company's current contract in August 2002. The Company will
retain its financial services contracts (respecting utility bill payment
processing) in Chile despite the loss of this contract.
OTHER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Since the commencement of fiscal 2002, the Company has made several
announcements respecting products and services outside its traditional lottery
product offerings. In December 2001, the Company entered into a five-year
contract (with five one-year extension options) to supply a new video lottery
central computer system to the Rhode Island Lottery. In January 2002, the
Company announced that Western Canada Lottery Corporation had selected the
Company to negotiate a contract to supply the Province of Saskatchewan with an
upgrade to its existing video lottery central system. Finally, in February 2002,
the Company entered into an agreement with Camelot Group plc ("Camelot"), the
operator of the United Kingdom National Lottery, to develop and license to
Camelot new software applications that will allow online, interactive offerings
of lottery games directly over the Internet for players in the United Kingdom.
In addition, in March 2001, the Company reported that it had sold its 50 percent
interest in three limited liability companies which were pursuing non-lottery
gaming opportunities in Michigan, Oregon and California, respectively, to Full
House Resorts, Inc., the owner of the remaining 50 percent interest in these
companies, for a cash purchase price of $1,800,000. This sale by the Company was
made pursuant to the Company's decision, announced during fiscal 2001, that
activities and assets of Dreamport, Inc., the Company's gaming and entertainment
subsidiary, which were peripheral to the Company's core lottery business, would
be consolidated and/or divested.
- 9 -
MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENTS
Since the start of fiscal 2002, the Company has announced several significant
managerial developments. In March 2001, the Company announced the appointment
of Howard S. Cohen as Chief Executive Officer and President, and Marc A.
Crisafulli as Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. In June
2001, the Company announced that Larry R. Smith had been named as Senior Vice
President and Chief Development Officer of the Company. In addition, during
fiscal 2002, David J. Calabro was appointed Executive Vice President of Global
Operations, and Antonio Carlos Rocha was appointed Senior Vice President of
Marketing and Corporate Development.
LOTTERY INDUSTRY
Statements relating to the lottery industry contained in this report are based
on information compiled by the Company, or derived from independent public
sources which the Company believes to be reliable. No assurance can be given,
however, regarding the accuracy of such statements. In general, there is less
publicly-available information concerning the international lottery industry
than the lottery industry in the United States.
Lotteries are operated by state and foreign governmental authorities and their
licensees in over 200 jurisdictions worldwide. Governments have authorized
lotteries primarily as a means of generating non-tax revenues. In the United
States, lottery revenues are frequently designated for particular purposes, such
as education, economic development, conservation, transportation and aid to the
elderly. Many states have become increasingly dependent on their lotteries as
revenues from lottery ticket sales are often a significant source of funding for
these programs.
Although there are many types of lotteries in the world, it is possible to
categorize government authorized lotteries into two principal groups: online
lotteries and off-line lotteries. An online lottery is conducted through a
computerized lottery system in which lottery terminals are connected to a
central computer system, typically by dedicated telephone lines. An online
lottery system is generally utilized for conducting games such as lotto, sports
pools, keno and numbers, in which players make their own selections. Off-line
lotteries feature lottery games which are not computerized, including
traditional off-line lottery games and instant ticket games. Traditional
off-line lottery games, in which players purchase tickets which are manually
processed for a future drawing, generally are conducted only in international
jurisdictions. Instant ticket games, in which players scratch off a coating from
a pre-printed ticket to determine if it is a winning ticket, are conducted both
internationally and in the United States.
In general, online lotteries generate significantly greater revenues than both
traditional off-line lottery games and instant ticket games. In addition, there
are several other advantages to online lotteries as compared to traditional
off-line lotteries. Unlike traditional off-line lottery games, wagers can be
accepted and processed by an online lottery system until minutes before a
drawing, thereby significantly increasing the lottery's revenue in cases in
which a large prize has attracted substantial wagering interest. Online lottery
systems also provide greater reliability and security,
- 10 -
allow a wider variety of games to be offered and automate accounting and
administrative procedures which are otherwise manually performed.
Typically, approximately 50% of the gross revenues of an online lottery in the
United States is returned to the public in the form of prizes. Approximately 35%
is used by the state to support specific public programs or as a contribution to
the state's general funds. The remaining 15% is generally used to fund the
operations of the lottery, including the cost of advertising, sales commissions
to point-of-purchase retailers and service fees to vendors such as GTECH.
According to La Fleur's 2002 World Lottery Almanac, from 1971 through 2001,
total annual lottery ticket sales in the United States grew from approximately
$147.5 million to approximately $37.5 billion, although the Company has
witnessed, in recent years, a downward trend in sales generated by certain of
its United States lottery customers. See "General" above. Historically, most of
the growth in ticket sales has occurred in the online portion of the lottery
business which accounted for approximately 82% of total lottery ticket sales in
2001.
There are currently 39 jurisdictions operating online lotteries in the United
States. Implementation of lotteries in other jurisdictions, will depend upon
successful completion of legislative, regulatory and administrative processes.
Outside the United States, government operated or licensed lotteries, many of
which are off-line, have a long history. The international online lottery
industry has experienced significant growth. Since 1977, when there were no
online lotteries operating outside of the United States, 105 international
jurisdictions have implemented online lottery systems. A number of other
international jurisdictions, principally in Europe, Asia and Latin America, are
currently considering the implementation of online lotteries.

ONLINE LOTTERY BUSINESS
ONLINE LOTTERY CONTRACTS
OVERVIEW. The Company generally conducts business under one of three types of
contractual arrangements which are described in more detail below: Facilities
Management Contracts, Operating Contracts and Product Sales Contracts. Under a
typical Facilities Management Contract, the Company installs, operates and
maintains a lottery system, while retaining ownership of the lottery system.
These contracts generally provide for service fees directly from the lottery
authority to the Company based on a percentage of online lottery ticket sales.
Under an Operating Contract, the Company generally provides the same services as
under a Facilities Management Contract, but sells the lottery system and
licenses the computer software to the lottery authority. Ongoing service fees to
the Company under an Operating Contract are usually based on a percentage of
lottery ticket sales. Under a Product Sales Contract, the Company sells,
delivers and installs a turnkey lottery system or lottery equipment and licenses
the computer software for a fixed price, and the lottery authority subsequently
operates and maintains the lottery system.
The collection of lottery monies, the selection of winners, the financial
responsibility for the payment of prizes and the qualification of retail sales
agents are usually the sole responsibility of the lottery authority in each
jurisdiction in which the Company operates a lottery. The United Kingdom's
National Lottery, Taiwan's Public Welfare Lottery and the South African National
Lottery provide important exceptions to the general rule in that in each case a
licensee operates all aspects of the respective National Lottery with the
exception of proceeds allocation.
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS. The Company's Facilities Management Contracts
generally require the Company to install, operate and maintain an online lottery
system for an initial term, which is typically at least five years, and usually
contain options permitting the lottery authority to extend the contract under
the same terms and conditions for one or more additional periods, generally
ranging from one to five years. In addition, the Company's customers
occasionally renegotiate extensions on different terms and conditions.
The Company's revenues under Facilities Management Contracts are generally based
upon a percentage of gross online lottery ticket sales. The level of lottery
ticket sales within a given jurisdiction is determined by many factors,
including population density, the types of games played and the games' design,
the number of terminals, the size and frequency of prizes, the nature of the
lottery's marketing efforts and the length of time the online lottery system has
been in operation.
Under its Facilities Management Contracts, the Company retains title to the
lottery system and typically provides its customers with the services necessary
to operate and manage the lottery system. The Company installs and commences
operations of a lottery system after being awarded a Facilities Management
Contract and, following the start-up of the lottery system, is responsible for
all aspects of the system's operations. The Company typically operates lottery
systems in each
- 12 -
jurisdiction on a stand-alone basis through the installation of two or more
dedicated central computer systems, although in a few instances several
jurisdictions have shared the same central system. In addition, the Company
employs a dedicated work force in each jurisdiction, consisting of a site
director, marketing personnel, computer and hotline operators, communications
specialists and customer service representatives who service and maintain the
system.
Under certain of the Company's Facilities Management Contracts the lottery
authority has the right to purchase the Company's lottery system during the
contract term at a predetermined price, which is calculated so that it exceeds
the Company's net book value of the system at the time the right is exercisable.
In addition, some of the Company's lottery contracts permit the lottery
authority to acquire title to the Company's system-related equipment and
software during the term of the contract or upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the contract, in some cases without paying the Company any
compensation related to the transfer of that equipment and software to the
lottery authority. The Company's role, if any, with respect to the continued
operation of a lottery system in the event of the exercise of such a purchase
option generally is not specified in such contracts and thus would be subject to
negotiation. Under many of the Company's Facilities Management Contracts, the
lottery authority also has the option to require the Company to install
additional terminals and/or add new lottery games. Such installations may
require significant expenditures by the Company. However, since the Company's
revenues under such contracts generally depend on the level of lottery ticket
sales, such expenditures have generally been recovered through the revenues
generated by the additional equipment or games and revenues from existing
equipment.
Under a number of the Company's lottery contracts, in addition to providing,
operating and maintaining the online lottery system in these jurisdictions, the
Company is providing a wide range of support services and equipment for the
lottery's instant ticket games, such as marketing, distribution and automation
of validation, inventory and accounting systems, for which it receives fees
based upon a percentage of the sales of the instant ticket games.
Revenues from Facilities Management Contracts are accounted for as service
revenues in the Company's Income Statements.
Unless otherwise indicated, the table below sets forth the lottery authorities
with which the Company had Facilities Management Contracts and fully installed,
operational lottery systems as of February 23, 2002, and as to which the Company
is the sole supplier of central computers and terminals and material services.
The table also sets forth information regarding the term of each contract and,
as of February 23, 2002, the approximate number of terminals installed in each
jurisdiction.

PRODUCT SALES CONTRACTS. The Company sells, delivers and installs online lottery
systems for a fixed price under Product Sales Contracts. The Company also sells
additional terminals and central computers to expand existing systems and/or
replace existing equipment under Product Sales Contracts.
In connection with its Product Sales Contracts, the Company generally designs
the lottery system, trains the lottery authority's personnel and provides other
services required to make and keep the system operational. The Company also
generally licenses its software to its customers for a fixed additional fee.
Historically, product sales revenues have been derived from the installation of
new online lottery systems, installation of new software and the sales of
lottery terminals and equipment in connection with the expansion of existing
lottery systems. The size and timing of these transactions at times has resulted
in variability in product sales revenues from quarter to quarter. See Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
The table below lists certain of the Company's direct and indirect customers
that since March 1, 1998 have purchased (or have agreed to purchase) from the
Company new online lottery systems, software and/or lottery terminals and

CONTRACT AWARD PROCESS
In the United States, lottery authorities generally commence the contract award
process by issuing a request for proposals inviting proposals from various
lottery vendors. The request for proposals usually indicates certain
requirements specific to the jurisdiction, such as particular games which will
be required, particular pricing mechanisms, the experience required of the
vendor and the amount of any performance bonds that must be furnished. After the
bids have been evaluated and a particular vendor's bid has been accepted, the
lottery authority and the vendor generally negotiate a contract in more detailed
terms. Once the contract has been finalized, the vendor begins to install the
lottery system.
The Company's marketing efforts for its lottery products and services frequently
involve top management in addition to the Company's professional marketing
staff. These efforts consist primarily of marketing presentations to the lottery
authorities of jurisdictions in which requests for proposals have been issued.
Marketing of the Company's lottery products and services to lottery authorities
outside of the United States is often performed in conjunction with licensees
and consultants with whom the Company contracts for representation in specific
market areas. Although generally neither a condition of their contracts with the
Company nor a condition of their contracts with lottery authorities, such
licensees and consultants often agree with the Company to provide on-site
services after installation of the online lottery system.
After the expiration of the initial or extended contract term, a lottery
authority in the United States generally may either seek to negotiate further
extensions or commence a new competitive bidding process. Internationally,
lottery authorities do not typically utilize as formal a bidding process, but
rather negotiate proposals with one or more potential vendors.
From time to time, there are challenges or other proceedings relating to the
awarding of lottery contracts.
ONLINE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
A significant portion of the Company's revenues and cash flow is derived from
its portfolio of long-term online lottery service contracts, each of which in
the ordinary course of the Company's business periodically is the subject of
competitive procurement or renegotiation. Over the next 12 months, the Company
expects several of the Company's larger contracts, as measured by annual
revenues (including the National Lottery of Brazil, California and Georgia) to
be the subject of competitive procurements to select contractors to supply
lottery goods and services
- 20 -
upon the termination or expiration of the Company's current contracts. See
"Certain Factors That May Affect Future Performance - The Company's lottery
operations are dependent upon its continued ability to retain and extend its
existing contracts and win new contracts."
The Company's lottery systems consist of lottery terminals, central computer
systems, systems and communications software and game software, and
communications equipment which connects the terminals and the central computer
systems. The systems' terminals are typically located in high-traffic retail
outlets, such as newsstands, convenience stores, food stores, tobacco shops and
liquor stores.
The Company's online lottery systems control and perform the following
functions: entry of wagers using a terminal's keyboard or a fully-integrated
optical mark recognition reader; automatic editing of each wager for correctness
by the originating terminal; encryption and transmission of the wager and
related data to the central computer installation(s); processing of each wager
by the central computers, including entry of the wager into redundant data
bases; transmission of authorization for the originating terminal to accept the
wager and print a receipt or ticket, winning ticket identification and
validation; and administrative functions, including determination of prize pools
and generation of management information reports.
The basic functions of the Company's systems, which are listed above, as well as
various optional or custom-designed functions, are performed under internal
controls designed for maximum security and minimum processing time. Security is
provided through an integrated system of techniques, procedures and controls
supported by hardware, software and human resources. Individual systems
generally have redundant capacity at multiple levels and sophisticated software
to ensure continuous service to the customer.
TERMINALS
The Company designs, manufactures and provides the point-of-sale terminals used
in its online lottery systems. The Company's model GT-101TF terminals,
introduced in 1985, and its model GT-401/OI terminals, introduced in 1989, are
installed in numerous jurisdictions. The Company's Spectra(R) terminal series
(GT-401/0M, 402/0M and 403/OM), first introduced in 1989, is distinguished by
its modular internal and external architecture.
The Company's ISYS terminal series (GT-501, 502 and 503), introduced during
fiscal 1996, is an integral, single-unit terminal which features modular
subassemblies, high performance ticket printer and playslip reader
subassemblies, an easy-to-use design, and a host of new features and
technologies.
During fiscal 1999, the Company announced the introduction of the
PlayerExpress(TM) terminal, which had its inaugural installation under the
Company's contract with the Colorado lottery authority. PlayerExpress(TM), was
designed specifically for large retail environments, such as grocery stores,
with numerous checkout lanes. The Company
- 21 -
subsequently entered into agreements with the Nebraska, Ohio, Washington,
California, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Israel, Ireland, Loto-Quebec,
The Netherlands and New Zealand lottery authorities to supply PlayerExpress(TM)
terminals.
During fiscal 1999, the Company also announced the launch of its Altura(TM)
family of terminals. Altura(TM), which represents the initial offering of the
Company's ninth generation of online lottery terminals, permits applications to
be written in the Java programming language, enabling the rapid development of
a wide variety of games that are compatible with numerous software
environments. The Company has subsequently entered into agreements with
the lottery authorities of Ohio, Portugal, Luxembourg, Beijing, Taiwan and
Spain to supply Altura(TM) terminals.
The Company is not dependent upon the use of its proprietary terminals and has
the ability to integrate into its online lottery systems qualified third party
terminals.
SOFTWARE. The Company designs and provides all applications solutions for its
lottery systems. The Company's highly sophisticated and specialized software is
designed to provide the following system characteristics: rapid processing,
storage and retrieval of transaction data in high volumes and in multiple
applications; the ability to down-line load (i.e., to reprogram the lottery
terminals from the central computer installation via the communications system
to add new games); a high degree of security and redundancy to guard against
unauthorized access and tampering and to ensure continued operations without
data loss; and a comprehensive management information and control system. The
Company's ProSys(R) software system is based on client server architecture and
provides open interfaces which allow for the integration and support of
third-party and commercial modules and applications. The Company's latest
generation software system, the GTECH Enterprise Series(TM) , is a unique,
fully-open architecture which the Company believes provides a new industry
standard for the development, integration and support of next-generation online
lottery solutions, including those which permit sales of lottery products via a
secure infrastructure over the Internet without compromising the integrity of
the games.
CENTRAL COMPUTERS. Each of the Company's lottery systems contains one or more
central computer sites to which the lottery terminals are connected. The
Company's central computer systems are manufactured by Compaq Computer
Corporation and Stratus Computer, Inc. The specifications for the configuration
of the Company's central computer installations are designed to provide
continuous availability, a high throughput rate and maximum security. Central
computer installations typically include: redundant mainframe computers,
various peripheral devices (such as magnetic storage devices, management
terminals and hard copy printers), and various safety, environmental control
and security subsystems (including a back-up power supply), which are all
manufactured by third parties, and a microcomputer-based communication and
switching subsystem. In addition, the Company supplies management information
systems that provide lottery personnel access to important financial and
operational data without compromising the security of the online system. Based
upon the Company's development of its Enterprise Series, (TM) the Company will
be able to integrate qualified third party software applications.
COMMUNICATIONS. The Company's lottery terminals are typically connected to the
central computer installations by dedicated telephone lines owned or leased by
the jurisdiction in which the system is located. Due to the varying nature of
telecommunications services available in lottery jurisdictions, the Company has
developed the capability to interface with a wide range of
- 22 -
communications technologies, including UHF Radio capability (narrow-band and
Spread Spectrum), GSAT/VSAT, Microwave, Integrated Services Digital Networking
(ISDN), Data Over Voice (DOV), fiber optic and cellular telephone. In Argentina,
Barbados, Brazil, the Spanish province of Catalunya, Chile, the Czech Republic,
Estonia, Jamaica, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, New Mexico, Poland, Puerto Rico,
Slovakia, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine, the Company utilizes
UHF Radio Data-Link Communications systems in lieu of telephone lines to provide
a data communications pathway between the lottery terminals and the central
computers. The Company also uses this technology in the United States to
supplement the existing telephone networks in Rhode Island, Texas, Washington
and the District of Columbia. The Company's GSAT satellite technology makes it
feasible to serve large market areas where telephone lines are either
unavailable, unreliable or too costly. The Company's GSAT satellite technology
currently operates in the United States in remote areas of Colorado, Nebraska,
New Mexico, Texas and Washington, and internationally in Argentina, the Czech
Republic, Brazil, Chile, Israel, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The
Company has also implemented UHF radio in conjunction with GSAT to further
enhance reliability and cost savings in remote areas.
GAMES. An important factor in maintaining and increasing public interest in
lottery games is innovation in game design. In conjunction with lottery
authorities, the Company utilizes principles of demographics, sociology,
psychology, mathematics and computer technology to design customized lottery
games which are intended to appeal to the populations served by its lottery
systems. The principal characteristics of game design include: frequency of
drawing, size of pool, cost per play and setting of appropriate odds. The
Company believes that its expertise in game design has enhanced the marketing of
its lottery systems and has contributed to increases in the revenues of some of
the Company's customers.
The Company currently has a substantial number of variations of lottery games in
its software library and several promising new games under development. The
Company believes that this game library and the "know how" and experience
accumulated by its professionals since the Company's inception make it possible
for the Company to meet the requirements of its customers for specifically
tailored games on a timely and comprehensive basis.
During fiscal 1999, the Company augmented its game design expertise by acquiring
Europrint Holdings Limited, which is among the world's largest providers of
media promotional games, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Interactive
Games International, Inc., which has pioneered the development of interactive,
televised lottery games including BingoVision(TM), SplitLevel(TM) and
DoubleChance(TM).
MARKETING. In United States jurisdictions in which the Company has been awarded
a lottery contract, the Company is frequently asked to assist the lottery
authority in the marketing of lottery games to the public. Such assistance
generally includes advice with respect to game design, and promotion and
development and distribution of terminals and advertising programs. As part of
such assistance, the Company developed "GMark," a computerized marketing
analysis system used to determine favorable locations for new lottery terminals.
The lottery authorities of California, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
- 23 -
Rhode Island, Texas and Washington currently utilize GMark systems, and many
customers contact the Market Research Group from time to time to obtain GMark
services.
WARRANTY. Because the Company retains title to the system under a Facilities
Management Contract, no warranty is typically provided on the Company's products
supplied under such contracts. The Company does repair or replace such products
as necessary to fulfill its obligations under such contracts. There is no
standard warranty on products manufactured by the Company. A typical warranty
provides that the Company will repair or replace defective products for a period
of time (usually one year) from the date a product is delivered and tested.
Product warranty expenses for the fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000 were not
material. The Company typically does not provide a warranty on products it sells
that are manufactured by third parties, but attempts to pass the manufacturer's
warranty, if any, on to the customer. With respect to computer software, the
Company typically modifies its software as necessary so that the software
conforms to the specifications of the contract with the customer.
NON-LOTTERY BUSINESS
While transaction processing services for the online lottery industry remains
the Company's core service offering, the Company has in recent years undertaken
to capitalize on the investments that it has made in secure, high-volume
transaction processing technology through development of additional
applications, such as financial or retail transaction processing. To date, the
Company's revenues from its non-lottery business have accounted for
approximately 5% of the Company's consolidated revenues.
In May 2000, the Company signed a contract with Caixa Economica Federal, the
operator of Brazil's National Lottery, to include additional financial
transaction services (including bill and tax payment, social security
contribution, credit card and traditional banking transaction services) over the
Company's dedicated network infrastructure. Under the terms of the agreement,
the Company has installed approximately 9,300 terminals, of which 4,800 process
financial transactions exclusively, with the remaining 4,500 processing
financial and lottery transactions. The Company believes that Caixa is likely to
attempt to handle internally some of these non-lottery operations upon the
expiration of the Company's current contract. The Company does not know yet what
effect, if any, a decision by the Caixa to handle such transactions internally
would ultimately have on the Company's Brazilian operations. In December 2000,
the Company signed agreements with more than 500 of its lottery retailers in
Chile to provide electronic bill payment services at lottery retail outlets
throughout Chile.
In August 2000, in connection with a comprehensive value assessment of the
Company's operations, the Company announced that Dreamport, Inc., the Company's
gaming and entertainment subsidiary, would henceforth focus on assisting
lotteries to expand their offerings in the area of video-machine gaming and
central systems. Activities and assets of Dreamport which were peripheral to
the Company's core lottery business, such as casino and slot operations, were
consolidated and/or divested and Dreamport's operations were relocated from
Florida to Rhode Island. In March 2001, the Company reported that it had
- 24 -
sold its 50% interest in three limited liability companies which were pursuing
non-lottery gaming opportunities in Michigan, Oregon and California,
respectively, to Full House Resorts, Inc., the owner of the remaining 50%
interest in these companies, for a cash purchase price of $1.8 million.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
The Company devotes substantial resources in order to enhance its present
products and systems and develop new products. In fiscal 2002, the Company spent
approximately $33.8 million on research and development, as compared to $49.3
million in fiscal 2001 and $46.1 million in fiscal 2000.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Historically, the Company generally has not sought to obtain patents on its
products, believing that its technical "know-how," trade secrets and the
creative skills of its personnel would be of substantially more importance to
the success of the Company than the benefit which patent protection ordinarily
would afford. As the Company continues to advance the development of new
technological solutions, the Company has decided to pursue comprehensive
intellectual property protection, including patents where appropriate, for these
solutions. The Company is currently pursuing protection of some of its newest
advances in technology and gaming, including GTECH Enterprise Series(TM), a
unique, fully-open, integrated solution which includes the ability to distribute
lottery games via a secure infrastructure over the Internet, without
compromising the integrity of the games.
PRODUCTION, ASSEMBLY AND COMPONENTS
The Company purchases most of the parts, components and subassemblies necessary
for its terminals and other products from outside sources and assembles them
into finished products. The Company offers central systems manufactured by
Compaq Computer Corporation and Stratus Computer, Inc. for its lottery systems.
BACKLOG
The backlog of the Company's orders for sales of its products believed by the
Company to be firm amounted to approximately $96.4 million as of February 23,
2002, as compared to a backlog of $199.9 million as of February 24, 2001.
Approximately $18.2 million, or 18.8% of the backlog at February 23, 2002, is
not expected to be filled during fiscal 2003.
COMPETITION
The online lottery business is highly competitive in the United States and
internationally. Both in the United States and internationally, price is an
increasingly important, but usually not the sole criterion for selection. Other
significant factors that influence the award of lottery contracts are:
- 25 -
the ability to optimize lottery revenues through technical capability and
applications knowledge; the quality, dependability and upgrade capability of the
system; the marketing and gaming experience, financial condition and reputation
of the vendor; and the satisfaction of other requirements and qualifications
that the lottery authority may impose.
During fiscal 2002, the Company's principal competitors in the online lottery
business (and the number of online lottery jurisdictions currently serviced or
under contract worldwide by such competitors) were as follows: Automated
Wagering International, Inc. ("AWI") (17), Scientific Games International, Inc.
("Scientific Games") (18); International Totalizator Systems, Inc. (5); and
Essnet/Alcatel (15).
During fiscal 2000, Anchor Gaming, an operator and developer of gaming machines
and casinos, and Powerhouse Technologies, Inc., the then corporate parent of
AWI, merged. During fiscal 2002, Anchor Gaming in turn merged with International
Game Technology (which designs, develops and manufactures computerized casino
gaming products), and in March 2002 (after the close of fiscal 2002),
International Game Technology announced the formation of a new business division
to focus on the public lottery market. These developments are likely to provide
AWI with enhanced financial resources with which to compete with the Company.
During fiscal 2001, Scientific Games Holdings Corporation, a leading provider of
instant ticket lottery technology as well as of online lottery systems and
services, was acquired by Autotote Corporation, and the lottery divisions of
these two companies were integrated. This merger provides the combined entity
with a broader range of product offerings than the entities had previously
offered individually.
PERSONNEL
As of April 5, 2002, the Company had approximately 4,500 full-time employees
worldwide. The Company's employees are not represented by any labor union. The
Company believes that its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate headquarters and research and development and main
production facility are located in its approximately 260,000 square foot
building on approximately 26 acres in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, which the
Company leases from West Greenwich Technology Associates, L.P. The Company is a
limited partner in, and owns 50% of, this partnership. As amended during fiscal
2002, the Company's lease term runs until January 1, 2007 and the Company has
an option to purchase the remaining 50% interest in West Greenwich Technology
Associates, L.P. on or before the termination of the lease term.
The Company owns approximately 24 acres adjoining its headquarters in West
Greenwich, Rhode Island.
- 26 -
The Company also owns an approximately 140,000 square foot manufacturing and
central storage facility in Coventry, Rhode Island.
In addition, except in New York State, where the Company owns its back-up data
center facility, and in Austin, Texas, where the Company owns an approximately
39,000 square foot facility which is used by Transactive Corporation, the
Company's benefits delivery subsidiary, the Company leases, or is supplied by
the relevant state authorities with, its data center facilities in the various
jurisdictions. The Company also leases office, depot maintenance and warehouse
space in a number of other locations.
The Company's facilities are in good condition and are adequate for its present
needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
MORIARTY INVESTIGATION
As publicly reported, in February 1999, a witness appearing before the Moriarty
Tribunal, an investigative body convened by the Irish Parliament and chaired by
Mr. Justice Moriarty to investigate the business affairs generally of the former
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, Charles Haughey, testified that in
February 1993 Guy B. Snowden, then Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had
invested pounds sterling 67,000 (approximately $100,000) of his personal funds
in a company owned by Mr. Haughey's son. Mr. Haughey had resigned as Taoiseach
in February 1992. In July 1992, the An Post Irish National Lottery Company, the
Irish lottery authority (the "Irish NLC"), issued a Request for Proposals
respecting online and instant ticket lottery goods and services, and in
September 1992 the Company, which was then the incumbent provider of lottery
goods and services to the Irish NLC under an agreement awarded to the Company in
1987, submitted a Proposal to the Irish NLC in response to the Irish NLC's
Request for Proposals. In November 1992, the Irish NLC selected the Company to
provide online and instant ticket goods and services to the Irish NLC under the
terms of the competitive procurement and, following negotiations, a definitive
agreement was entered into between the Irish NLC and the Company in March 1993.
In calendar 1999, the Moriarty Tribunal requested that the Company provide
various documents regarding the Company's business in Ireland, which the Company
has done, and the Company has been cooperating with the Moriarty Tribunal. In
addition, the Company has made its own inquiry into the facts surrounding Mr.
Snowden's investment and the extent, if any, of the Company's involvement in or
knowledge of that investment. The Company's investigation has determined that no
Company funds were used to make Mr. Snowden's investment, and there is no
information to suggest that Mr. Snowden ever sought reimbursement for the
investment from the Company. Further, there is no information to suggest that
Mr. Snowden informed anyone else at the Company of his investment at the time or
that his investment was related in any way to the renewal of the Company's
contract to supply systems and support to the Irish NLC. Mr. Snowden has advised
the Company through his counsel that (i) his investment was a strictly personal
one, (ii) the investment was made from his personal funds, (iii) he never sought
reimbursement for any portion of his investment from the
- 27 -
Company or any other entity, and (iv) his investment was not related to the
Irish NLC and was not intended to and did not influence the Irish NLC's decision
to renew the Company's contract.
No charges of wrongdoing have been brought against the Company in connection
with the Moriarty investigation, and the Company does not believe that it has
engaged in any wrongdoing in connection with this matter. However, since this
investigation is or may still be underway and, investigations of this type
customarily are conducted in whole or in part in secret, the Company lacks
sufficient information to determine with certainty its ultimate scope and
whether the government authorities will assert claims resulting from this
investigation that could implicate or reflect adversely upon the Company.
Because the Company's reputation for integrity is an important factor in its
business dealings with lottery and other governmental agencies, if a government
authority were to make an allegation, or if there were to be a finding, of
improper conduct on the part of or attributable to the Company in any matter,
including in respect of the Moriarty investigation, 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 this
investigation and related matters could have such a material adverse effect.
SHAREHOLDER CLASS ACTION SUIT
As publicly reported, in August 2000, a shareholder class action lawsuit on
behalf of all persons who purchased Company stock during the period from April
11, 2000 to July 25, 2000, was brought against the Company, the Company's former
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William Y. O'Connor, and the Company's
current Chairman, W. Bruce Turner, in the United States District Court of Rhode
Island relating to various Company announcements made between April 11, 2000 and
July 25, 2000. The complaint filed in the case, Sandra Kafenbaum, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. GTECH Holdings Corporation,
William Y. O'Connor and W. Bruce Turner, generally alleges that the defendants
violated federal securities laws (including Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) by making allegedly false and misleading statements
(including statements alleged to be overly optimistic respecting certain lottery
contract awards to the Company and respecting the Company's prospects in certain
non-lottery business lines and investments), while failing to disclose in a
timely manner certain allegedly material adverse information that it purportedly
had a duty to disclose (including an alleged inability to close certain contract
awards and as to certain alleged cost overruns). The complaint seeks to recover
monetary damages from the Company and the individual defendants. In February
2001, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which added Steven P. Nowick,
the Company's former President and Chief Operating Officer, as an individual
defendant. In addition, the amended complaint expands the purported class of
plaintiffs to include all persons who purchased common stock of the Company
during the period from July 13, 1998 through August 29, 2000. The type of relief
sought in the amended complaint is similar to that sought in the original
action. In April 2001, the Company and the other defendants moved to dismiss the
amended complaint in their lawsuit on the grounds that the allegations made in
the amended complaint are unsupported by fact and fail, in any event, to state a
cause of action under the federal securities laws. Oral argument for the
Company's motion was held on October 19,
- 28 -
2001 and the motion is pending. The Company believes that it has good
defenses to the claims made in this lawsuit. On the basis of information
presently available, the Company believes the outcome of this matter will not
materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
EIG SUIT
In February 1999, the Company was sued by a Florida corporation called EIG
Gaming International, Inc. ("EIG"), in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit of Florida. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida, where it is captioned EIG Gaming
International, Inc. v. GTECH Corporation, Case No. 99-1808-Civ-Jordan. In its
complaint EIG alleges that it entered into a Letter of Intent with the Company
pursuant to which it would assist the Company to obtain the lottery contract for
Peru in return for a percentage of the lottery's receipts. EIG further contends
that it secured the Peruvian contract for the Company but that the Company
thereupon declined to pursue it. Plaintiff claims damages exceeding $80 million.
In November 2000, the Company moved for summary judgment. That motion is
pending. Trial in the matter had been set for June 2001, but was continued by
the court while it considers the summary judgment motion. While the Company
vigorously denies plaintiff's allegations, to which it believes it has good
defenses, at the present time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or
the financial statement impact, if any, of this lawsuit.
TESEO ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION
In March 2001, GTECH filed with the International Court of Claims (the "ICC") in
Paris, France, a request for arbitration of a dispute with Teseo S.p.A.
("Teseo"), an Italian corporation. GTECH commenced this proceeding in order to
obtain payment from Teseo of $10,150,000 owed to it under an agreement effective
as of August 2, 1999 (the "Agreement") between GTECH and Teseo respecting the
sale by GTECH to Teseo of approximately 4,000 terminals, printers and related
hardware. In addition, GTECH seeks payment from Teseo of additional amounts
respecting certain terminal maintenance services performed by GTECH, certain
damages suffered by GTECH, and accrued interest on unpaid amounts. None of the
amounts which GTECH seeks to obtain have been, or are, reflected in the
Company's financial position or results of operations. Teseo requested that the
ICC reject GTECH's claims, and brought a counterclaim against GTECH in the ICC
proceeding, alleging that GTECH materially defaulted under the Agreement and
that GTECH owes Teseo at least $5,000,000 in damages by reason of such alleged
defaults. This arbitration proceeding has been suspended pending payment of
amounts requested by the ICC as an advance on costs. In March 2002, Teseo
commenced a legal proceeding against GTECH before the Italian Civil Court which
essentially restates the counterclaim brought by Teseo in the arbitration
proceeding described above, and which seeks identical relief, namely, payment by
GTECH to Teseo of damages in an amount not less than $5,000,000. An initial
hearing in this matter is scheduled to take place before the Italian Civil Court
in July 2002. While the Company believes that it has good defenses to the claims
made by Teseo in this lawsuit, and, as described above, a valid cause of action
against Teseo stemming from the dispute which is the subject of the Teseo
lawsuit, at the present time the Company is unable to predict the outcome of
this lawsuit or its financial statement impact, if any.
- 29 -
SERLOPAR SUIT
In April 2002, SERLOPAR, the lottery authority for the Brazilian state of
Parana, sued Dreamport Brasil Ltda. and GTECH Brasil Ltda., subsidiaries of the
Company (the "Defendants") in the 2nd Public Finance Court of the City of
Curitiba, State of Parana, with respect to an agreement dated July 31, 1997, as
amended (the "VLT Agreement") between SERLOPAR and the Defendants pursuant to
which the Defendants agreed to install and operate video lottery terminals
("VLTS") in Parana. SERLOPAR alleges in its suit that the Defendants installed
only 450 of the 1,000 VLTs that the Defendants were allegedly obliged to
install, and that the Defendants were overpaid, and failed to reimburse
SERLOPAR certain amounts alleged to be due to SERLOPAR, under the VLT
Agreement. SERLOPAR seeks payment from the Defendants of an amount in excess of
$25,000,000 with respect to these claims, together with unspecified amounts
alleged to be due from the Defendants with respect to general losses and
damages (including loss of revenues) and court costs and legal fees. The
Company, which believes it has good defenses to the claims made by SERLOPAR in
this lawsuit, intends to defend itself vigorously in these proceedings.
Nevertheless, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit or
its financial statement impact, if any.
For further information respecting legal proceedings, see Item 1, "Certain
Factors Affecting Future Performance - Government regulations and other actions
affecting the online lottery industry could have a negative effect on the
Company's business" and Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of this report, and Note F of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. The Company
also is subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims which management
believes, on the basis of information presently available to it, will not
materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of Holding's security holders during the

For the purposes of calculating the aggregate market value of the shares of
Common Stock of Holdings held by nonaffiliates, as shown on the cover page of
this report, it has been assumed that all the outstanding shares were held by
nonaffiliates except for the shares beneficially owned by: directors, officers,
and employees of and consultants to Holdings and GTECH. However, this should not
be deemed to constitute an admission that all such persons or entities are, in
fact, affiliates of Holdings, or that there are not other persons who may be
deemed to be affiliates of Holdings. Further information concerning
shareholdings of officers, directors and principal shareholders of Holdings will
be included in Holdings' definitive proxy statement relating to its scheduled
August 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be filed with the Securities and

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
The principal United States market on which Holdings' Common Stock is traded is
the New York Stock Exchange where it is traded under the symbol "GTK."
The following table sets forth on a per share basis the high and low sale prices
of Common Stock for the fiscal quarters indicated, as reported on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape.
FISCAL 2001 HIGH LOW
- ----------- ---- ---
First Quarter (February 27 - May 27, 2000) $23.00 $17.88
Second Quarter (May 28 - August 26, 2000) $23.50 $17.63
Third Quarter (August 27 - November 25, 2000) $19.25 $15.38
Fourth Quarter (November 26, 2000 - February 24, 2001) $27.75 $18.25
FISCAL 2002 HIGH LOW
- ----------- ---- ---
First Quarter (February 25 - May 26, 2001) $38.18 $25.02
Second Quarter (May 27 - August 25, 2001) $38.90 $29.60
Third Quarter (August 26 - November 24, 2001) $45.62 $29.75
Fourth Quarter (November 25, 2001 - February 23, 2002) $51.48 $41.21
The closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 9,
2002 was $56.11. As of April 9, 2002, there were approximately 790 holders of
record of the Common Stock.
Holdings has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and has no current
plan to do so. The current policy of Holdings' Board of Directors is to reinvest
earnings in the operation and expansion of the Company's business and, from time
to time, to execute repurchases of shares of Holdings Common Stock under the
Company's share repurchase programs. Further, Holdings is a holding company and
its operations are conducted through the Company and its subsidiaries.
Accordingly, the ability of Holdings to pay dividends on its Common Stock would
be dependent on the earnings and cash flow of its subsidiaries and the
availability of such cash flow to Holdings.

(d) The Company believes that earnings before depreciation, amortization,
interest, taxes and other special and noncash charges and credits (the
latter two items comprising infrequent and unusual charges which the
Company believes are not representative of the Company's ongoing
operations such as special charges and adjustments to the carrying
values of certain investments), or EBITDA, assists in explaining trends
in the Company's operating performance, provides useful information
about the Company's ability to incur and service indebtedness and is a
commonly used measure of performance by securities analysts and
investors in the gaming industry. EBITDA should not be considered as an
alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's
performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity.
As the Company defines it, EBITDA may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures used by other companies. The components of
EBITDA for fiscal years prior to 2002 have been restated to conform to
the fiscal 2002 presentation.

General
The Company operates on a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday
in February and fiscal 2002 ended on February 23, 2002.
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 generally provide compensation to the
Company 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.
- 35 -
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 Company's gross margins on product sales fluctuate depending on the
mix, volume and timing of product sales contracts. 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
2003 will be in a range of $90 million to $110 million.
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, in May 2000 and December 2000, the Company entered into
agreements that permit bill payments over its Brazilian and Chilean networks,
respectively.
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 that 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 related matters could have
such a material adverse effect. See Note F to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, Part I, Item 1, -- "Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Performance" and Part I, Item 3 -- "Legal Proceedings" herein for further
information concerning these matters and other contingencies.
The Company is a global business and derives a substantial portion of its
revenues from operations outside of the United States. In particular, in fiscal
2002, the Company derived approximately 51% of its revenues from its
international operations and 11.5% of its revenues from its Brazilian operations
alone (including 10.7% of its revenues from the National Lottery of Brazil, one
of the Company's largest customers). In addition, a substantial portion of the
Company's assets are held outside of the United States.
- 36 -
Upcoming Significant Contract Rebids
A majority of the Company's revenues and cash flow is derived from its portfolio
of long-term online lottery service contracts, each of which in the ordinary
course of the Company's business periodically is the subject of competitive
procurement or renegotiation. Through fiscal 2003 (which ends in February 2003),
three of the Company's larger contracts, as measured by annual revenues, will be
the subject of competitive procurements to select contractors to supply lottery
goods and services upon the termination of the Company's current contracts.
Among these is the National Lottery of Brazil, one of the Company's largest
contracts, which accounted for 10.7% of the Company's consolidated revenues in
fiscal 2002. The Company believes, upon the expiration of the Company's current
contract, that Caixa Economica Federal, the operator of Brazil's National
Lottery, is likely to attempt to handle internally some non-lottery operations
currently performed by the Company under its contract and, with regard to the
remaining lottery operations, may seek to proceed with a competitive procurement
process calculated to result in multiple vendors to administer Brazil's National
Lottery, which is presently administered solely by the Company. Other large
contracts that will be subject to competitive procurement through fiscal 2003
include the California and Georgia lottery contracts. See Part I, Item 1 --
"Certain Factors That May Affect Future Performance - The Company's lottery
operations are dependent upon its continued ability to retain and extend its
existing contracts and win new contracts" and "Lottery Contract Awards and
Related Significant Developments" herein for further information concerning
these matters.
Critical Accounting Policies
Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued new advice regarding
disclosure of critical accounting policies. In response to this advice, the
Company has identified the accounting policies listed below that the Company
believes are most critical to the Company's financial condition and results of
operations, and that require management's most difficult, subjective and complex
judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties. This section
should be read in conjunction with Note A to the Consolidated Financial
Statements which includes other significant accounting policies.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes service revenues as the services are performed.
Liquidated damages (which equaled 0.14%, 0.47% and 0.56% of the Company's total
revenues in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively) are recorded as a
reduction in revenue in the period in which it is determined that they are
probable and estimable. Revenues from product sales or sales-type leases are
recognized when installation is complete and the customer accepts the product
(when acceptance is a stipulated contractual term). In those instances where the
Company is not responsible for installation, revenue is recognized when the
product is shipped. Amounts received from customers in advance of revenue
recognition are deferred as liabilities.
Generally, product sales under long-term contracts are recorded over the
contractual period under the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Under the percentage of completion method of accounting, sales and estimated
gross profit are recognized as work is completed and accepted by the customer by
utilizing the most recent estimates of cost to complete. Sales and gross profit
are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs
during the period in which the information necessary to make the adjustment
becomes available. If the current
- 37 -
contract estimate indicates a loss, provision is made for the estimated loss
when it becomes known and quantifiable. The completed contract method of
accounting is used for long-term contracts in those circumstances under which
estimated costs to complete the delivery cannot be reasonably estimated or when
the contract stipulates the entire balance due under the contract is refundable
if the product is not accepted by the customer. Under the completed contract
method of accounting, product sales are recorded when the Company has
substantially completed its obligations under the contract.
At February 23, 2002, the Company had advance payments from customers of
approximately $72.6 million, including amounts received from two customers in
Europe whose lottery systems are online and selling lottery tickets. The Company
currently expects to record product sales related to these two customers in
fiscal 2003 upon receipt of final acceptance letters.
RECEIVABLES AND INVENTORY RESERVES
The Company evaluates the collectibility of trade accounts and sales-type lease
receivables on a customer-by-customer basis and believes its reserves are
adequate; however, if economic circumstances change significantly resulting in a
major customer's inability to meet its financial obligation to the Company,
original estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be
reduced by significant amounts requiring additional reserves.
Inventories include amounts related to the Company's long-term service contracts
and product sales contracts, including product sales under long-term contracts,
and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on
management's analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. The
Company believes its reserves are adequate; however, should future sales
forecasts change, the Company's original estimates of obsolescence could
increase by a significant amount requiring additional reserves.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and other
intangible and long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances,
such as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows or material adverse changes
in the economic stability of a particular country indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's goodwill is not
considered impaired based on management's estimates of future cash flows
applying the current accounting standards. If facts and circumstances were to
indicate that the Company's long-lived assets might be impaired, the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows associated with the long-lived assets would be
compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a write-down to fair value is
necessary.

thereto are to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and Notes

Special Charges
In fiscal 2001, the Company recorded special charges of $42.3 million ($25.8
million after-tax, or $0.74 per diluted share) in connection with certain
contractual obligations and a value assessment of the Company's business
operations. The major components of the special charges consisted of $14.0
million for a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 255 Company
positions worldwide, $11.5 million for contractual obligations in connection
with the departures in July 2000 of the Company's former Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer and former President and Chief Operating Officer, $8.5 million
for costs associated with the exit of certain business strategies and product
lines and $8.3 million for the termination of consulting agreements and facility
exit costs, net of gains on the disposition of Company aircraft. See Note P to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company realized pre-tax cost savings of approximately $12 to $13 million in
fiscal 2001 and approximately $36 to $38 million in fiscal 2002 from the value
assessment.
Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2002 WITH 2001
Revenues for fiscal 2002 totaled $1.0 billion, representing a $73.2 million, or
7.8%, increase over revenues of $936.5 million in fiscal 2001.
Service revenues, including lottery and other services, in fiscal 2002 were
$831.8 million, representing a $24.7 million, or 2.9%, decrease from service
revenues of $856.5 million in fiscal 2001. This decrease was primarily driven by
a $19.5 million reduction in international lottery service revenues, along with
the expiration of certain electronic benefit transfer contracts, partially
offset by higher domestic lottery service revenues.
The Company's international lottery service revenues in fiscal 2002 were $340.8
million, a $19.5 million, or 5.4% decrease, from the $360.3 million recorded in
fiscal 2001, primarily due to the combined effect of the weakening of the
Brazilian real against the United States dollar and contractual rate changes.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in sales by several of the
Company's international lottery customers and the launch of the national
lotteries in Colombia, Jamaica and Taiwan.
The Company's domestic lottery service revenues were $481.2 million in fiscal
2002, an increase of $15.8 million, or 3.4%, over the $465.4 million recorded in
the same period of fiscal 2001. This increase was primarily due to higher
same-store sales primarily in California and Georgia.
Product sales in fiscal 2002 were $177.9 million, an increase of $97.8 million
over the $80.1 million of product sales in fiscal 2001. This increase was driven
by sales of terminals and software to our customer in the United Kingdom.
Gross margins on service revenues were 29.5% in fiscal 2002 compared to 34.1% in
fiscal 2001, primarily due to the write-off of assets and reserves associated
with the economic instability in Argentina and impairment charges relating to an
under-performing international contract.
- 40 -
Gross margins on product sales in fiscal 2002 were 23.3% compared to 6.5% in the
same period last year, primarily due to the large volume of terminal sales to
the Company's customer in the United Kingdom. In addition, cost over-runs on
system installations in New South Wales, Australia and Israel adversely impacted
prior year margins.
Operating expenses in fiscal 2002 were $152.6 million, representing a $63.1
million, or 29.3%, decrease, when compared to the $215.7 million of operating
expenses incurred in fiscal 2001. This decrease was principally due to the
absence of $42.3 million of prior year special charges, and $5.2 million of
additional charges principally in connection with the implementation of a
Restricted Stock plan and $15.6 million of reductions primarily driven by the
continued execution of the value assessment initiatives implemented in fiscal
2001 and the Company's increased emphasis on improving productivity and
efficiency. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses were 15.1% and 23.0%
(18% exclusive of the prior year special and additional charges in fiscal 2001)
during fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Other income declined from $7.2 million in fiscal 2001 to $1.4 million in fiscal
2002 primarily due to the write-off in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 of the
Company's $9.3 million cost method investment in the common stock of an Internet
security developer partially offset by a $3.9 million gain on the sale of a
majority interest in the Company's subsidiary in the Czech Republic, which owns
certain lottery assets.
Interest expense in fiscal 2002 was $22.9 million, a decrease of $4.3 million,
or 15.8%, from interest expense of $27.2 million incurred during fiscal 2001.
This decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates including those
resulting from the debt restructuring described below.
The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 39% fiscal 2001 to 38% in
fiscal 2002 principally due to lower state income taxes and a reduction in
non-deductible expenses.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an extraordinary
charge of $12.5 million ($7.8 million after tax, or $0.25 per diluted share),
principally comprised of tender premiums associated with the early retirement of
$110 million of 7.75% Series A Senior Notes due 2004 and $55 million of 7.87%
Series B Senior Notes due 2007, net of gains on interest rate swaps, along with
make whole premiums associated with the refinancing of the Company's World
Headquarters facilities.
Weighted average diluted shares in fiscal 2002 declined 4.5 million shares to
30.2 million shares as a result of the Company's share repurchase program.
During fiscal 2002, the Company repurchased 7.5 million shares in the open
market. The impact on fiscal 2002 diluted earnings per share of the lower level
of weighted average shares in fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 was
approximately $0.30 per diluted share.
COMPARISON OF FISCAL 2001 WITH 2000
Revenues for fiscal 2001 were $936.5 million, representing a $74.3 million, or
7.3%, decrease from revenues of $1.0 billion in fiscal 2000.
- 41 -
Service revenues, including lottery and other services, in fiscal 2001 were
$856.5 million, representing a $3.9 million, or 0.5%, decrease from the $860.4
million of service revenues in fiscal 2000. This decrease reflects a decline in
domestic lottery service revenues, partially offset by an increase in
international lottery service revenues.
The Company's domestic lottery service revenues were $465.4 million in fiscal
2001, a decrease of 2.8% from the $478.8 million recorded in the same period of
fiscal 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the loss of online lottery
contracts in Indiana, West Virginia, Vermont and New Hampshire and the loss of
an instant ticket validation contract in New York. These decreases were
partially offset by increases in lottery sales generated by a number of the
Company's existing domestic customers, including Texas, New York and New Jersey.
The Company's international lottery service revenues increased 4.5% in fiscal
2001 to $360.3 million compared with the $344.7 million recorded in the same
period last year, primarily due to the launch of the national lotteries in South
Africa and Morocco, along with growth in sales for existing customers in Brazil,
Poland and Mexico and a contractual rate increase in Brazil. These increases
were partially offset by the impact of the reduction in the dollar value of
foreign currencies.
Product sales in fiscal 2001 were $80.1 million, a decrease of $70.3 million
from the $150.4 million of product sales in fiscal 2000. Fiscal 2000 product
sales included sales of an online lottery system to Israel, a new central system
with instant ticket capabilities to Sweden, and equipment to South Africa. The
Company sold approximately 5,600 lottery terminals in fiscal 2001, compared to
approximately 13,300 lottery terminals in fiscal 2000.
Gross margins on service revenues were 34.1% in fiscal 2001 compared to 35.5% in
fiscal 2000, primarily driven by start-up losses on the lottery system
installation in Morocco, along with additional costs incurred relating to the
delayed start-up of the Colombia lottery that launched on January 17, 2001.
Gross margins on product sales decreased from 32.2% in fiscal 2000 to 6.5% in
fiscal 2001, primarily due to cost over-runs on the lottery system conversion
the Company implemented in New South Wales, Australia, and the lower volume of
equipment sales to South Africa in fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2001 were $118.0 million,
representing a $4.3 million, or 3.5%, decrease from the $122.3 million incurred
in fiscal 2000. This decrease was primarily attributable to cost reductions
resulting from the value assessment, partially offset by non cash charges
associated with the implementation of the Company's Restricted Stock Plan in
August 2000. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses were 12.6% and 12.1% during fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Research and development expenses in fiscal 2001 were $49.3 million,
representing a $3.2 million, or 7.0%, increase over research and development
expenses of $46.1 million in fiscal 2000. This increase reflects higher spending
on the Company's central system software and interactive media offerings. As a
percentage of revenues, research and development expenses were 5.3% and 4.6%
during fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Other income of $7.2 million in fiscal 2001 was comprised principally of the
amortization of the gain on the sale of the Company's 22.5% equity interest in
Camelot Group plc ("Camelot"),
- 42 -
which the Company sold in April 1998, and which is being amortized over the
remaining period of Camelot's first operating license, due to expire in
September 2001. Other expense in fiscal 2000 of $1.3 million, was comprised of
net foreign exchange losses associated with the Company's global asset
protection and foreign exchange management programs designed to provide a degree
of protection for future cash flows, partially offset by the amortization of the
gain on the sale of Camelot. The Company recorded $0.4 million of net foreign
exchange gains in fiscal 2001, compared to $6.7 million of net foreign exchange
losses in the prior year.
Interest expense in fiscal 2001 was $27.2 million, a decrease of $1.8 million
from interest expense of $29.0 million incurred during fiscal 2000. This
decrease was primarily due to lower average debt outstanding under the Company's
revolving credit facility.
The Company's effective income tax rate decreased from 40% in fiscal 2000
to 39% in fiscal 2001, principally due to lower state income taxes and increased
research and development tax credits. The Company's effective income tax rate
was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and
certain expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes.
Weighted average shares in fiscal 2001 declined 1.7 million shares to 34.6
million shares as a result of the Company's share repurchase program. On March
19, 2001, after the end of its 2001 fiscal year, the Company repurchased 5
million shares of its common stock from Tiger Management, its then largest
shareholder, for $130.0 million.
Changes in Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During fiscal 2002, the Company generated $345.2 million of cash from
operations. This cash, together with existing cash balances was principally used
to fund the purchase of $176.5 million of systems, equipment and other assets
relating to contracts and to repurchase $219.3 million of the Company's common
stock.
Accounts receivable decreased by $18.3 million, from $118.7 million at February
24, 2001 to $100.4 million at February 23, 2002, primarily due to collections
related to product sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
Inventories decreased by $31.2 million, from $117.8 million at February 24, 2001
to $86.6 million at February 23, 2002, primarily due to shipments of inventory
related to new system installations in New York and Ohio.
Other assets decreased by $27.3 million, from $116.7 million at February 24,
2001 to $89.4 million at February 24, 2002, primarily due to the write-off of
the Company's cost method investment in the common stock of an Internet security
developer, scheduled payments received on sales type leases and reserves
associated with the Company's assets in Argentina.
Included in other assets at February 23, 2002 were investments in and advances
to unconsolidated affiliates totaling $12.5 million. The Company periodically
evaluates the net realizable value of these investments to determine if an other
than temporary decline in value exists and during fiscal 2002 recorded
impairment charges of $1 million. In the opinion of management, no other
impairment existed at February 23, 2002; however, should future events and
circumstances indicate an other than temporary decline in value has occurred
with regard to
- 43 -
one or more of these investments, a charge to expense would be recorded at that
time to reflect the adjustment in the net realizable value of the underlying
investment.
Accounts payable decreased by $5.9 million, from $49.3 million at February 24,
2001 to $43.4 million at February 23, 2002, primarily due to the timing of
payments to vendors.
Accrued expenses increased by $10.1 million, from $65.6 million at February 24,
2001 to $75.7 million at February 23, 2002, primarily due to severance and
facility closure accruals related to the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce
costs and improve efficiency.
Advance payments from customers increased by $17.2 million, from $55.4 million
at February 24, 2001 to $72.6 million at February 23, 2002, primarily due to
advances received from customers related to product sales the Company expects to
complete delivery of during fiscal 2003.
At February 23, 2002, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current
assets by $11.4 million, principally due to the $72.6 million of advance
payments from customers.
Income taxes payable, that are reported net of income tax refunds receivable,
decreased by $10.7 million, from $64.6 million at February 24, 2001 to $53.9
million at February 23, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to the tax
benefits generated from the extraordinary charge, along with tax benefits from
the exercise of stock options.
The Company's business is capital-intensive. Although it is not possible to
estimate precisely, the Company currently anticipates that net cash used for
investing activities in fiscal 2003 will be in a range of $180 million to $190
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. On June 22, 2001, the Company refinanced its credit facility with a
syndicate of nine banks led by The Bank of America. The new credit facility
provides for an unsecured revolving line of credit of $300 million and matures
in June 2006. As of February 23, 2002, there were no borrowings under the credit
facility. The Company currently expects that its cash flow from operations and
available borrowings under its credit facility will be sufficient for the
foreseeable future to fund its anticipated working capital and ordinary capital
expenditure needs, to service its debt obligations, to fund anticipated internal
growth and to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, from time to
time, under the Company's share repurchase programs.
On December 4, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase
program for up to an aggregate amount of $75 million of the Company's common
stock through February 2003 in addition to the $16 million outstanding under the
previous share repurchase program. The Board also authorized the Company to use
any proceeds received from the exercise of stock options to repurchase shares of
the Company's common stock. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company repurchased approximately 565,000 shares of common stock for $24.9
million. At February 23, 2002, there was approximately $66 million available
under the share repurchase programs. The Company plans to periodically
repurchase shares in the open market based on market conditions and corporate
considerations.

The Company has a 50% limited partnership interest in West Greenwich Technology
Associates, L.P. (the "Partnership"), which owns the Company's World
Headquarters facilities. The Company accounts for the Partnership using the
equity method. At February 23, 2002, the Partnership's assets (comprised
principally of the World Headquarters facilities) and liabilities (comprised
principally of the debt on the facilities) were $17.7 million and $26.8 million,
respectively.
In December 2001, the Partnership refinanced its outstanding debt on favorable
terms and replaced its general partners with another unrelated third party. The
Partnership incurred an expense on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $5.4
million in connection with the repayment of the existing mortgage, which was
allocated to the Company. In connection with the refinancing, the existing lease
was amended to shorten its term and reduce the current lease payments. Pursuant
to the provisions of the partnership agreement, the Company will indirectly have
the ability to acquire the property for a predetermined price at the end of the
lease term. Should the Company not proceed to do so, it could nonetheless be
obligated for up to $28.0 million. The Partnership has classified the lease as
an operating lease in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement 13, "Accounting for Leases."
Commitments and Guarantees
The Company enters into performance and other bonds related to various
contracts, which generally have terms of one year. Potential payments due under
these bonds are related to performance under the applicable contract.
During the Company's 20-year history, it has never made any payments under these
types of bonds and the Company does not currently anticipate that payments will
be required under the current bonds. The following table provides information
related to potential commitments at February 23, 2002:

The Company has guaranteed, at February 23, 2002, approximately $6.4 million, or
44%, of $14.5 million of loans made by an unrelated commercial lender to Lottery
Technology Services Corporation ("LTSC"), an entity in which the Company has a
44% equity interest. LTSC provides equipment and services, supplied by the
Company, to the Bank of Taipei, which holds the license to operate the Taiwan
Public Welfare Lottery. The loans have a maturity date of January 2007 and the
Company's guarantee expires in July 2007. See Note K to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The Company has guaranteed lease obligations of Times Squared Incorporated
("Times Squared") of $3 million. The guarantee expires in December 2013. As of
February 23, 2002, the outstanding lease obligations were $2.6 million. Times
Squared is a nonprofit corporation established for, among other things,
providing secondary and high school level educational programs. Times Squared
operates a Charter School for Engineering, Mathematics, Science and Technology
in Providence, Rhode Island that serves inner city children who aspire to
careers in the sciences and technology. See Note F to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
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
fiscal 2002.
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 February 23, 2002, after taking into
consideration $95 million of interest rate swaps, the estimated fair value of
the Company's $135 million of fixed rate Senior Notes approximated $137.0
million. A hypothetical 10% adverse or favorable change in interest rates
applied to the fixed rate Senior Notes would not have a material effect on
current earnings. An independent investment banker determined the estimated
fair value amounts.
At February 23, 2002, the estimated fair value of the Company's $175 million
principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Debentures approximated $195.9 million. At
February 23, 2002, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would increase
the estimated fair value of the Convertible Debentures to $194.4 million and a
hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would reduce the estimated fair
value of the Convertible Debentures to $197.4 million. An independent investment
banker determined the estimated fair value amounts.
A hypothetical 10% adverse or favorable change in interest rates applied to
variable rate debt would not have a material effect on current earnings.
- 46 -
The Company uses various techniques to mitigate the risk associated with future
changes in interest rates, including entering into interest rate swaps. In June
2001, the Company entered into two-interest rate swaps for an aggregate amount
of $150 million, which effectively entitled the Company to exchange fixed rate
payments for variable rate payments from the period June 6, 2001 to May 15,
2007. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, in connection with the retirement of
$55 million of the 2007 Senior Notes, the Company sold $55 million of the
interest rate swaps for $2.4 million. This amount was recorded as a reduction of
the fiscal 2002 extraordinary charge in connection with the early retirement of
$165 million of Senior Notes.
Equity price risk
At February 23, 2002, the estimated fair value of the Company's $175 million
principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Debentures approximated $195.9 million. At
February 23, 2002, a hypothetical 10% increase in the market price of the
Company's Common Stock would increase the estimated fair value of the
Convertible Debentures to $207.5 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the
market price of the Company's Common Stock would reduce the estimated fair value
of the Convertible Debentures to $185.5 million. An independent investment
banker determined the estimated fair value amounts.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Foreign exchange exposures arise from current and anticipated transactions
denominated in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (United
States dollars) 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 securing 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 February 23, 2002 and February 24,
2001, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would result
in a translation loss of $10.5 million and $14.6 million, respectively, that
would be recorded in the equity section of the Company's Consolidated Balance
Sheet.
At February 23, 2002 and February 24, 2001, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in
foreign exchange rates would result in a net transaction loss of $3.5 million
and $3.4 million, respectively, that would be recorded in current earnings after
considering the effects of foreign exchange contracts currently in place.
At February 23, 2002, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange
rates would result in a net reduction of cash flows from anticipatory
transactions in fiscal 2003 of $9.0 million. Comparatively, at February 24,
2001, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have
resulted in a net reduction of cash flow from anticipatory transactions of $21.2
million in fiscal 2002, largely as a result of anticipated cash flows from the
Company's customer in the United Kingdom. The percentage of fiscal 2002 and 2001
anticipatory cash flows that were hedged varied throughout each fiscal year,
but averaged 64% in fiscal 2002 compared to 51% in fiscal 2001.
As of February 23, 2002, the Company had contracts for the sale of foreign
currency of approximately $51.9 million (primarily Brazilian real, pounds
sterling and Euro) and the purchase of foreign currency of approximately $32.1
million (primarily pounds sterling and Mexican peso). Comparatively, at
February 24, 2001, the Company had contracts for the sale of foreign currency of
approximately $94.8 million (primarily Spanish pesetas, Australian dollars and
pounds sterling) and the purchase of foreign currency of approximately $65.5
million (primarily pounds sterling).

GTECH HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: GTECH Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") conducts
business through its consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates and
has, as its only asset, an investment in GTECH Corporation ("GTECH"), its wholly
owned subsidiary. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of
Holdings, GTECH, all majority and wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities
controlled by GTECH (collectively referred to herein as the "Company").
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Investments in 20% to 50% owned
affiliates, investments in corporate joint ventures and other entities that are
not controlled by GTECH are accounted for using the equity method and
investments in less than 20% owned affiliates are accounted for using the cost
method.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Industry Segment and Nature of Operations: The Company is a global information
technology company providing software, networks and professional services that
power high-performance, transaction processing solutions. The Company operates
in one reportable business segment providing online, high speed, highly secure
transaction processing systems to the worldwide lottery industry. The Company's
lottery service contracts are generally subject to a competitive procurement
process after the expiration of the contract term and any extensions thereof.
The Company's business is highly regulated, and the competition to secure new
government contracts is often intense.
Use of estimates: The preparation of these financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial
statements and accompanying notes. Some of the more significant estimates
include estimates of future cash flows associated with long-lived assets;
allocation of revenues and fair values in multiple element arrangements;
allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciable lives of assets. Management's
estimates are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time
estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic
conditions and trends, and management's assessments of the probable future
outcome of these matters. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year: The Company operates on a 52- to 53-week fiscal year ending on the
last Saturday in February. Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 were 52-week years.
Revenue Recognition: Service revenues are recognized as the services are
performed. Liquidated damages (as defined in Note F) are recorded as a reduction
in revenue in the period in which it is determined that they are probable and
estimable. Revenues from product sales or sales-type leases are recognized when
installation is complete and the customer accepts the product (when acceptance
is a stipulated contractual term). In those instances where the Company is not
responsible for installation, revenue is recognized when the product is shipped.
Amounts received from customers in advance of revenue recognition are deferred
as liabilities.
Generally, product sales under long-term contracts are recorded over the
contractual period under the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Under the percentage of completion method of accounting, sales and estimated
gross profit are recognized as work is completed and accepted by the customer by
utilizing the most recent estimates of cost to complete. Sales and gross profit
are adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs
during the period in which the information necessary to make the adjustment
becomes available. If the current contract estimate indicates a loss, provision
is made for the estimated loss when it becomes known and quantifiable. The
completed contract method of accounting is used for long-term contracts in those
circumstances under which estimated costs to complete the delivery cannot be
reasonably estimated or when the contracts stipulate the entire balance due
under the contract is refundable if the product is not accepted by the customer.
Under the completed contract method of accounting, product sales are recorded
when the Company has substantially completed its obligations under the contract.

Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for the majority of the
Company's foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation
of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance
sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for
revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the
period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income, whereas gains or losses resulting from
foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. The Company
recognized net foreign exchange gains (losses) as a component of service revenue
and other income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements as
follows:
Fiscal Year Ended

================= ================= =================
For those foreign subsidiaries operating in a highly inflationary economy or
having the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, nonmonetary assets and
liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and
liabilities are translated at current rates. Translation adjustments are
included in the determination of net income.
Research and Development: Research and development expenses are charged to
operations as incurred.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to
$7.5 million, $5.5 million and $3.0 million in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of
shares of the common stock of Holdings ("Common Stock") to employees and
nonemployee directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations. The Company has not
recognized any compensation expense for stock option grants.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivative financial
instruments principally to manage the risk of foreign currency exchange rate and
interest rate fluctuations and accounts for its derivative financial instruments
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended
("SFAS 133"), which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the
balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and
effectiveness of hedging relationships.
From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange and option
contracts to reduce the exposure associated with certain firm commitments,
variable service revenues and certain assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies. These contracts generally have maturities of 12 months or
less and are regularly renewed to provide continuing coverage throughout the
year. The Company does not engage in currency speculation.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company records certain contracts used to provide a degree of protection to
the Company against foreign exchange risk on its variable service revenues at
fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related gains or losses on
these contracts are either deferred in shareholders' equity (accumulated other
comprehensive income) or immediately recognized in earnings depending on whether
the contract qualifies for hedge accounting. The deferred gains and losses are
subsequently recognized in earnings in the period that the related items being
hedged are received and recognized in earnings. Contracts used to hedge assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses on
these contracts are immediately recognized in earnings as a component of other
income (expense) in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements.
The Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swaps agreements to
mitigate its exposure to interest rate changes. Each interest rate swap
agreement is matched with all or a portion of the principal balance and term of
a specific debt obligation. These agreements involve the exchange of fixed
interest rates for variable interest rates over the life of the agreement
without an exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are based.
The differential to be received or paid as interest rates change is accrued and
recognized as an adjustment of interest expense related to the debt. The related
amount receivable from or payable to counterparties is included as an asset or
liability in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Gains and losses on terminations of interest rate swap agreements are deferred
as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the outstanding debt and amortized as
an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt over the remaining term of
the original contract life of the terminated swap agreement. In the event of the
early extinguishment of a designated debt obligation, any realized or unrealized
gain or loss from the swap would be recognized in income concurrent with the
extinguishment gain or loss.
Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted income tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Additionally,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are separated into current and noncurrent
amounts based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers short-term, highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of
purchase to be cash equivalents. At February 23, 2002 and February 24, 2001,
approximately 78% and 75%, respectively, of the Company's cash and cash
equivalent balances were concentrated with one financial institution.
Trade Accounts Receivable: Trade accounts receivable are reflected net of
allowances for doubtful accounts and liquidated damages of $20.4 million and
$7.4 million at February 23, 2002 and February 24, 2001, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories include amounts related to the Company's long-term
service contracts and product sales contracts, including product sales under
long-term contracts, and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory
is made based on management's analysis of inventory levels and future sales
forecasts. Inventory allowances were $14.2 million and $6.7 million at February
23, 2002 and February 24, 2001, respectively. Inventory manufactured or
assembled by the Company for its long-term service contracts is transferred to
systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts upon shipment.

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Systems, Equipment and Other Assets Relating to Contracts: Systems, equipment
and other assets relating to contracts are stated on the basis of cost. The cost
less any salvage value is depreciated over the base contract term, not to exceed
10 years, using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and
accelerated methods for income tax purposes. In cases where contract extension
periods exist, any salvage value is depreciated over the extension term. In
cases where the base contract term is less than five years, the cost of contract
assets, less the salvage value, is depreciated over five years.
Capitalized Software Development Costs: Unamortized software development costs,
included in systems, equipment and other assets relating to contracts and other
assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $38.0 million and
$39.4 million at February 23, 2002 and February 24, 2001, respectively. Related
amortization expense amounted to $15.9 million, $19.3 million and $17.3 million
in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and is included in cost of services
or cost of sales in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company periodically evaluates the
recoverability of intangible and other long-lived assets whenever events or
changes in circumstances, such as declines in revenues, earnings or cash flows
or material adverse changes in the economic stability of a particular country
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If facts
and circumstances were to indicate that the Company's long-lived assets might be
impaired, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the
long-lived assets would be compared to their carrying amounts to determine if a
write-down to fair value is necessary. (See Note B).
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net
assets acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging
from seven to 40 years. As of February 23, 2002 and February 24, 2001,
accumulated amortization was $46.9 million and $40.9 million, respectively.
Goodwill is periodically reviewed for impairment by comparing the carrying
amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the businesses
acquired. If this review indicates that goodwill is not recoverable, the
carrying amount would be reduced to fair value. During fiscal 2002, the Company
did not reduce goodwill for impairment associated with any prior acquisitions.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: The components of, and changes in, other
comprehensive income are as follows:
Foreign Net Gain (loss) Unrealized
Currency on Derivative Gain (loss)

Of the ($101) million of foreign currency translation at February 23, 2002,
($85.9) million is associated with the Company's subsidiaries in Brazil. The
Company believes, upon the expiration of the Company's current contract, that
Caixa Economica Federal, the operator of Brazil's national lottery, is likely to
attempt to handle internally some non-lottery operations currently performed by
the Company under its contract and, with regard to the remaining lottery
operations, may seek to proceed with a competitive procurement process
calculated to result in multiple vendors to administer Brazil's national
lottery, which is presently administered solely by the Company. The National
Lottery of Brazil is the Company's largest contract as measured by annual
revenues and accounted for 10.7% of the Company's consolidated revenues in
fiscal 2002.
In addition, the Company's net book value of systems, equipment and other assets
relating to contracts for the National Lottery of Brazil is $28.6 million at
February 23, 2002, which is scheduled to be fully depreciated by the end of the
Company's current contract in January 2003.
New Accounting Pronouncements: On July 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141") for
all business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 requires
that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method and
further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately
from goodwill. Since June 30, 2001, there have been no business combinations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142"), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer
amortized but are reviewed annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators
arise, for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have
indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The
nonamortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets
acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible assets
acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company will apply the new accounting rules
in fiscal 2003. It is expected that the adoption of the new rule will reduce
amortization expense by approximately $5.7 million in fiscal 2003.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which supersedes or amends existing accounting literature related to the
impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The standard is required to be
adopted by the Company beginning on February 24, 2002 (the first day of fiscal
2003). At this time, the adoption of SFAS 144 is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

NOTE B - ASSET IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded asset impairment charges
of $27.2 million, $4.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, relating to
impairment of certain long-lived assets in the Lottery business segment. The
basis for the impairment charges was the Company's evaluation of the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of those
assets and their eventual disposal compared to the net book value of those
assets. The undiscounted cash flow projections performed were less than the
carrying amount indicating impairment.
Of the $27.2 million of impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2002, $15.8
million related to certain under-performing international contracts, $9.3
million related to an other than temporary decline in value of the Company's
cost method investment in the common stock of an Internet security developer,
$1.1 million related to a facility write-down and $1.0 million related to an
other than temporary decline in value of one of the Company's equity method
investments. These charges were included in costs of services, other income
(expense), selling, general and administrative expense and equity in earnings of
unconsolidated affiliates in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements,
respectively.
Of the $4.2 million of impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2001, $1.4
million related to the exit of certain product lines, $1.1 million related to an
other than temporary decline in value of one of the Company's equity method
investments, $1.0 million related to an other than temporary decline in value of
a cost method investment in the common stock of a software company and $0.8
million related to an other than temporary decline in value of the Company's
cost method investment in the common stock of an online entertainment company.
These charges were included in the special charges (credit), equity in earnings
of unconsolidated affiliates, research and development expense and other income
(expense) in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements, respectively.
The $1.0 million impairment charge recorded during fiscal 2000 was related to an
other than temporary decline in value in a cost method investment in the common
stock of a software company. The impairment charge was included in research and
development expense in the Company's Consolidated Income Statements.

On December 18, 2001, Holdings issued, in a private placement, $175 million
principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Debentures ("Debentures") due December 15,
2021 and subsequently filed a registration statement to register the Debentures
for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration
statement has not yet been declared effective. The Debentures are unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of Holdings that are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed by GTECH and certain of its subsidiaries. The Debentures accrue
interest at an initial rate of 1.75% per year, subject to reset beginning
December 15, 2006 under certain circumstances. In no event will the interest
rate be reset below 1.75% or above 2.5% per year. Interest is payable
semiannually in arrears beginning on June 15, 2002.
On or after December 15, 2006, the Company may redeem for cash, all or part of
the Debentures at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Debentures, plus accrued interest up to, but not including, the date of
redemption. Holders of the Debentures may require the Company to repurchase all
or part of their Debentures on December 15, 2004, December 15, 2006, December
15, 2011 and December 15, 2016 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Debentures, plus accrued interest. The Company may choose to pay the
purchase price in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both. In
addition, upon a change in control of the Company occurring on or before
December 15, 2021, each Debenture holder may require the Company to repurchase
all or a portion of such holder's Debentures for cash.
The Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common
Stock at an initial conversion rate of 18.1818 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
principal amount of Debentures, which is equivalent to an initial conversion
price of approximately $55.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments, in the
following circumstances: (a) if the sale price of Common Stock is more than 120%
of the conversion price (approximately $66.00 per share) for at least 20 trading
days in a 30 trading-day period prior to the date of surrender for conversion;
(b) during any period in which the credit ratings assigned to the Debentures by
Moody's or Standard & Poor's are reduced to below Ba1 or BB, respectively, or in
which the credit rating assigned to the Debentures is suspended or withdrawn by
either rating agency; (c) if the Debentures have been called for redemption; or
(d) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.
The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Debentures to repurchase,
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, $110 million of the 7.75% Series A
Senior Notes due 2004 and $55 million of the 7.87% Series B Senior Notes due
2007 (collectively, the "Senior Notes") issued by GTECH. The Senior Notes are
unsecured and are guaranteed by Holdings and certain of GTECH'S subsidiaries,
and interest on each series is payable semiannually in arrears.

there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company is
required to pay a facility fee of .225% per annum on the total revolving credit
commitment. The restrictive provisions of the Credit Facility include, among
other things, requirements relating to the maintenance of certain financial
ratios, restrictions on additional indebtedness and restrictions on the ability
of the Company to make cash distributions on its Common Stock under certain
circumstances. At February 23, 2002, under the most restrictive covenants, the
Company had $85.2 million of retained earnings available for the payment of
dividends. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and
does not plan to do so in the foreseeable future. The current policy of the
Company's Board of Directors is to reinvest earnings in the operation and
expansion of the Company and to repurchase shares of Common Stock, from time to
time, under the Company's share repurchase programs.
Up to $100 million of the Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of
letters of credit. The Company had, at February 23, 2002, $8.1 million of
letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility and $57.3

Contracts generally contain time schedules for, among other things, commencement
of system operations and the installation of terminals, as well as detailed
performance standards. The Company is typically required to furnish substantial
bonds to secure its performance under these contracts. In addition to other
possible consequences, including contract termination, failure to meet specified
deadlines or performance standards, could trigger substantial penalties in the
form of liquidated damage assessments. Many of the Company's contracts permit
the customer to terminate the contract at will and do not specify the
compensation, if any, that the Company would be entitled were such a termination
to occur. The Company paid or incurred liquidated damages with respect to its
contracts during the last three fiscal years as follows:

Legal Matters
MORIARTY INVESTIGATION
As publicly reported, in February 1999, a witness appearing before the Moriarty
Tribunal, an investigative body convened by the Irish Parliament and chaired by
Mr. Justice Moriarty to investigate the business affairs generally of the former
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, Charles Haughey, testified that in
February 1993 Guy B. Snowden, then Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had
invested pounds sterling 67,000 (approximately $100,000) of his personal funds
in a company owned by Mr. Haughey's son. Mr. Haughey had resigned as Taoiseach
in February 1992. In July 1992, the An Post Irish National Lottery Company, the
Irish lottery authority (the "Irish NLC"), issued a Request for Proposals
respecting online and instant ticket lottery goods and services, and in
September 1992 the Company, which was then the incumbent provider of lottery
goods and services to the Irish NLC under an agreement awarded to the Company in
1987, submitted a Proposal to the Irish NLC in response to the Irish NLC's
Request for Proposals. In November 1992, the Irish NLC selected the Company to
provide online and instant ticket goods and services to the Irish NLC under the
terms of the competitive procurement and, following negotiations, a definitive
agreement was entered into between the Irish NLC and the Company in March 1993.
In calendar 1999, the Moriarty Tribunal requested that the Company provide
various documents regarding the Company's business in Ireland, which the Company
has done, and the Company has been cooperating with the Moriarty Tribunal. In
addition, the Company has made its own inquiry into the facts surrounding Mr.
Snowden's investment and the extent, if any, of the Company's involvement in or
knowledge of that investment. The Company's investigation has determined that no
Company funds were used to make Mr. Snowden's investment, and there is no
information to suggest that Mr. Snowden ever sought reimbursement for the
investment from the Company. Further, there is no information to suggest that
Mr. Snowden informed anyone else at the Company of his investment at the time or
that his investment was related in any way to the renewal of the Company's
contract to supply systems and support to the Irish NLC. Mr. Snowden has advised
the Company through his counsel that (i) his investment was a strictly personal
one, (ii) the investment was made from his personal funds, (iii) he never sought
reimbursement for any portion of his investment from the Company or any other
entity, and (iv) his investment was not related to the Irish NLC and was not
intended to and did not influence the Irish NLC's decision to renew the
Company's contract.
No charges of wrongdoing have been brought against the Company in connection
with the Moriarty investigation, and the Company does not believe that it has
engaged in any wrongdoing in connection with this matter. However, since this
investigation is or may still be underway and, investigations of this type
customarily are conducted in whole or in part in secret, the Company lacks
sufficient information to determine with certainty its ultimate scope and
whether the government authorities will assert claims resulting from this
investigation that could implicate or reflect adversely upon the Company.
Because the Company's reputation for integrity is an important factor in its
business dealings with lottery and other governmental agencies, if a government
authority were to make an allegation, or if there were to be a finding, of
improper conduct on the part of or attributable to the Company in any matter,
including in respect of the Moriarty investigation, 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 this
investigation and related matters could have such a material adverse effect.

SHAREHOLDER CLASS ACTION SUIT
As publicly reported, in August 2000, a shareholder class action lawsuit on
behalf of all persons who purchased Company stock during the period from April
11, 2000 to July 25, 2000, was brought against the Company, the Company's former
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William Y. O'Connor, and the Company's
current Chairman, W. Bruce Turner, in the United States District Court of Rhode
Island relating to various Company announcements made between April 11, 2000 and
July 25, 2000. The complaint filed in the case, Sandra Kafenbaum, individually
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. GTECH Holdings Corporation,
William Y. O'Connor and W. Bruce Turner, generally alleges that the defendants
violated federal securities laws (including Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) by making allegedly false and misleading statements
(including statements alleged to be overly optimistic respecting certain lottery
contract awards to the Company and respecting the Company's prospects in certain
non-lottery business lines and investments), while failing to disclose in a
timely manner certain allegedly material adverse information that it purportedly
had a duty to disclose (including an alleged inability to close certain contract
awards and as to certain alleged cost overruns). The complaint seeks to recover
monetary damages from the Company and the individual defendants. In February
2001, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint which added Steven P. Nowick,
the Company's former President and Chief Operating Officer, as an individual
defendant. In addition, the amended complaint expands the purported class of
plaintiffs to include all persons who purchased common stock of the Company
during the period from July 13, 1998 through August 29, 2000. The type of relief
sought in the amended complaint is similar to that sought in the original
action. In April 2001, the Company and the other defendants moved to dismiss the
amended complaint in their lawsuit on the grounds that the allegations made in
the amended complaint are unsupported by fact and fail, in any event, to state a
cause of action under the federal securities laws. Oral argument for the
Company's motion was held on October 19, 2001 and the motion is pending. The
Company believes that it has good defenses to the claims made in this lawsuit.
On the basis of information presently available, the Company believes the
outcome of this matter will not materially adversely affect the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
EIG SUIT
In February 1999, the Company was sued by a Florida corporation called EIG
Gaming International, Inc. ("EIG"), in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit of Florida. The Company removed the case to the U.S. District
Court for the Southern District of Florida, where it is captioned EIG Gaming
International, Inc. v. GTECH Corporation, Case No. 99-1808-Civ-Jordan. In its
complaint EIG alleges that it entered into a Letter of Intent with the Company
pursuant to which it would assist the Company to obtain the lottery contract for
Peru in return for a percentage of the lottery's receipts. EIG further contends
that it secured the Peruvian contract for the Company but that the Company
thereupon declined to pursue it. Plaintiff claims damages exceeding $80 million.
In November 2000, the Company moved for summary judgment. That motion is
pending. Trial in the matter had been set for June 2001, but was continued by
the court while it considers the summary judgment motion. While the Company
vigorously denies plaintiff's allegations, to which it believes it has good
defenses, at the present time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or
the financial statement impact, if any, of this lawsuit.

TESEO ARBITRATION AND LITIGATION
In March 2001, GTECH filed with the International Court of Claims (the "ICC") in
Paris, France, a request for arbitration of a dispute with Teseo S.p.A.
("Teseo"), an Italian corporation. GTECH commenced this proceeding in order to
obtain payment from Teseo of $10.2 million owed to it under an agreement
effective as of August 2, 1999 (the "Agreement") between GTECH and Teseo
respecting the sale by GTECH to Teseo of approximately 4,000 terminals, printers
and related hardware. In addition, GTECH seeks payment from Teseo of additional
amounts respecting certain terminal maintenance services performed by GTECH,
certain damages suffered by GTECH, and accrued interest on unpaid amounts. None
of the amounts which GTECH seeks to obtain have been, or are, reflected in the
Company's financial position or results of operations. Teseo requested that the
ICC reject GTECH's claims, and brought a counterclaim against GTECH in the ICC
proceeding, alleging that GTECH materially defaulted under the Agreement and
that GTECH owes Teseo at least $5 million in damages by reason of such alleged
defaults. This arbitration proceeding has been suspended pending payment of
amounts requested by the ICC as an advance on costs. In March 2002, Teseo
commenced a legal proceeding against GTECH before the Italian Civil Court which
essentially restates the counterclaim brought by Teseo in the arbitration
proceeding described above, and which seeks identical relief, namely, payment by
GTECH to Teseo of damages in an amount not less than $5 million. An initial
hearing in this matter is scheduled to take place before the Italian Civil Court
in July 2002. While the Company believes that it has good defenses to the claims
made by Teseo in this lawsuit, and, as described above, a valid cause of action
against Teseo stemming from the dispute which is the subject of the Teseo
lawsuit, at the present time the Company is unable to predict the outcome of
this lawsuit or its financial statement impact, if any.
SERLOPAR SUIT
In April 2002, SERLOPAR, the lottery authority for the Brazilian state of
Parana, sued Dreamport Brasil Ltda. and GTECH Brasil Ltda., subsidiaries of the
Company (the "Defendants") in the 2nd Public Finance Court of the City of
Curitiba, State of Parana, with respect to an agreement dated July 31, 1997, as
amended (the "VLT Agreement") between SERLOPAR and the Defendants pursuant to
which the Defendants agreed to install and operate video lottery terminals
("VLTS") in Parana. SERLOPAR alleges in its suit that the Defendants installed
only 450 of the 1,000 VLTs that the Defendants were allegedly obliged to
install, and that the Defendants were overpaid, and failed to reimburse SERLOPAR
certain amounts alleged to be due to SERLOPAR, under the VLT Agreement. SERLOPAR
seeks payment from the Defendants of an amount in excess of $25 million with
respect to these claims, together with unspecified amounts alleged to be due
from the Defendants with respect to general losses and damages (including loss
of revenues) and court costs and legal fees. The Company, which believes it has
good defenses to the claims made by SERLOPAR in this lawsuit, intends to defend
itself vigorously in these proceedings. Nevertheless, the Company is unable to
predict the outcome of this lawsuit or its financial statement impact, if any.
The Company also is subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims which
management believes, on the basis of information presently available to it, will
not materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

NOTE G - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Under various stock-based compensation plans, officers and other key employees
of the Company may receive grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and performance awards and
nonemployee members of the Company's Board of Directors automatically are
granted annual stock options and may elect to receive stock in lieu of
directors' fees. The Company is authorized to grant up to 5,240,000 shares of
Common Stock under these plans and, at February 23, 2002, grants of 3,621,200
nonqualified stock options and 526,750 shares of restricted stock had been made.
The stock options granted under these plans are to purchase Common Stock at a
price not less than fair market value at the date of grant. Employee stock
options generally become exercisable ratably over a four-year period from date
of grant and expire 10 years after date of grant unless an earlier expiration
date is set at time of grant. Nonemployee director stock options are exercisable
approximately one year after date of grant and expire 10 years after date of
grant. Both employee and nonemployee directors' stock options are subject to
possible earlier exercise and termination in certain circumstances.
During fiscal 2002 and 2001, the Company awarded 139,500 and 387,250 shares,
respectively, of restricted stock to officers and certain key employees, with a
weighted average fair value at the date of grant of $31 and $19 per share,
respectively. Recipients of restricted stock do not pay any cash consideration
to the Company for the shares. The fair value of the restricted stock award is
being charged to expense over the vesting period. During fiscal 2002 and 2001,
the Company recorded noncash charges to operations of $4.3 million and $4.6
million, respectively, as compensation expense related to restricted stock.
The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations in accounting for its
stock option grants, whereby no compensation expense is deducted in determining
net income. Had compensation expense for stock option grants under the plans
been determined pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", the Company's net income would have
decreased accordingly. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the
Company's pro forma net income and pro forma weighted average fair value of
options granted, with related assumptions, are as follows:

The effects on fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 pro forma net income and earnings per

representative of the effects on reported net income for future years because of
the vesting period of the stock options and the potential for issuance of
additional stock options in future years.

employee's base pay. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company increased the
matching contribution for the United States Plan to 100% on the first 3% and 50%
on the next 2% that the employee elects to defer, up to a maximum matching
contribution of 4% of the employee's base pay. The Company, at its discretion,
may contribute additional amounts to the Plans on behalf of employees based upon
its profits for a given fiscal year. To be eligible to receive a profit sharing
contribution, an employee must be actively employed on December 31 and the last
day of the fiscal year for which the contribution is made. Participants are 100%
vested at all times in the amounts they defer and any earnings on their
contributions. Employees are fully vested in the Company's matching
contributions, profit sharing and any earnings on these contributions on the
first anniversary of their date of hire and thereafter.
Benefits under the Plans will generally be paid to participants upon retirement
or in certain other limited circumstances. In fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, the
Company recorded expense under these Plans of $7.3 million, $6.6 million and
$5.8 million, respectively.
The Company has a defined contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan that
provides additional retirement benefits to certain key employees. The Company,
at its discretion, may contribute additional amounts to this plan on behalf of
such key employees equal to the percentage of profit sharing contributions
contributed to the Plan for the calendar year multiplied by the key employees'
compensation (as defined) for such year. The Company recorded $0.3 million of
expense under this plan in each of fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000.

NOTE O - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company had minimal exposure to loss from nonperformance by the counter
parties to its forward exchange contract agreements at the end of fiscal 2002
and does not anticipate nonperformance by counter parties in the periodic
settlements of amounts due. The Company currently minimizes this potential for
risk by entering into forward exchange contracts exclusively with major,
financially sound counter parties, and by limiting exposure to any one financial
institution.
Interest Rate Swaps
In February 2000, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with an
aggregate notional amount of $150 million that provided interest rate protection
over the period February 25, 2000 to May 15, 2007. The swaps were designated as
fair value hedges and effectively entitled the Company to exchange fixed rate
payments for variable rate payments. The fair value of the swaps was recorded as
an asset and the carrying value of the underlying debt was increased by an equal
amount in accordance with SFAS 133. On February 1, 2001, the Company sold the
two interest rate swaps for $13 million and began amortizing the underlying debt
adjustment of $13 million as a reduction of interest expense over the period
February 2001 through May 2007 on an effective yield basis. In fiscal 2002, in
connection with the repurchase of $165 million of Senior Notes, $3.9 million of
this amount was recorded as a reduction of the extraordinary charge. (See Note
R).
In June 2001, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with an aggregate
notional amount of $150 million that provide interest rate protection over the
period June 6, 2001 to May 15, 2007. The fair value of the swaps was recorded as
an asset and the carrying value of the underlying debt was adjusted by an equal
amount in accordance with SFAS 133. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, in
connection with the repurchase of $55 million of Senior Notes, the Company sold
$55 million of the interest rate swaps for $2.4 million which was recorded as a
reduction of the extraordinary charge. (See Note R).

worldwide, $11.5 million for contractual obligations in connection with the
departures in July 2000 of the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive

On December 18, 2001, Holdings issued, in a private placement, $175 million
principal amount of 1.75% Convertible Debentures ("Debentures") due December 15,
2021 and subsequently filed a registration statement to register the Debentures
for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This registration
statement has not yet been declared effective. The Company used a portion of the
proceeds from the Debentures to repurchase, during the fourth quarter of fiscal
