reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         The financial projections (the "Projections") set forth below are
intended to speak only as of the date of this report and should not be construed
as representing projections of the Company's anticipated sales, revenues, costs,

disclosure or compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's published
guidelines regarding projected financial information. The Company's annual and
quarterly financial statements, and the accompanying discussion of the Company's

industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: general
economic or business conditions; the Company's limited operating history;
industry trends; changes in business strategy or development plans; availability
and terms of capital; changes in or the failure to comply with governmental
regulations; dependence on key personnel; market acceptance of the Company's
products; inability to protect the Company's intellectual property rights; the
continued growth of the gaming industry; vigorous competition in the gaming
industry; dependence on existing management; gaming regulations (including
actions affecting licensing); and other factors referenced in the Projections
and the Company's annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. As with the Projections, the Company disclaims any
obligation to disseminate or furnish any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statement contained in this report to reflect any change in the
Company's expectations with regard to the statement or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

I.       THE PROJECTIONS:  THE ASSUMPTIONS

         The description of the Company's business, including its products, such
as its shufflers and its SecureDrop(TM) product line, is contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2000,
"Item. 1 - Business."

                                       2


         The Projections do not include the purchase of certain assets and
technology consummated by the Company in March 2001. This asset acquisition is
described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2000, "Item. 1 - Business." The Company plans to use the assets and
technology so acquired to broaden the SecureDrop(TM) product line. Management
believes the addition of the acquired assets and technology could add $4 to $6
million in revenue for the year 2002.

         In addition to the foregoing, to achieve the results contained in the
Projections, it is assumed that the Company will have obtained the necessary
gaming licenses, approvals or approval waivers to sell its products in the
following jurisdictions by the date indicated:

         Indiana, April 2001
         New Jersey, May 2001
         Connecticut, June 2001
         Caribbean, August 2001
         Canada, August 2001
         Philippines, May 2001
         Puerto Rico, November 2001
         France, December 2001
         The Netherlands, May 2001
         Monte Carlo, June 2001
         Colorado, September 2001
         Peru, August 2001
         Chile, May 2001

         Acquiring a gaming license or approval can be time consuming and
costly. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to acquire the
gaming licenses, approvals or approval waivers or acquire them in a timely
manner.

         The Projections assume that when a corporation with multiple casino
properties installs SecureDrop(TM) in one property, it will realize the benefits
to SecureDrop(TM) and install SecureDrop(TM) in the remaining properties. No
assurance can be given that corporate customers will install SecureDrop(TM) in
any property or in other properties once the first installation has been
completed.

         The Projections assume that, as additional SecureDrop(TM) units are
placed, demand will increase for the product as it becomes more accepted in the
industry. No assurance can be given that the increase in demand will occur.

         As the Company is currently not profitable, no assurance can be given
that the Company will be profitable.

         REVENUES

         SecureDrop(TM) revenues are recognized when the SecureDrop(TM) buckets
and bases are installed and the customer has received the SecureDrop(TM) cart,
mule and conveyor. Rental revenue from the Company's shufflers is recognized on
a monthly basis after installation. Revenue on shuffler sales is recognized when
the shufflers are shipped.

                                       3


         SECUREDROP(TM)

         The Company has installed, through December 31, 2000, a total of 15,933
SecureDrop(TM) 2000 and 2804 SecureDrop(TM) 3000 units in 26 properties in the
United States and internationally. Domestically, the Company has contracts or
contracts pending approval with over 12 casino properties for the purchase and
installation of 18,000 units that the Company expects to ship in the first half
of 2001. The Company has several domestic customers, representing approximately
one third of the current installed base, who operate multiple properties
controlling an additional 50,000 gaming machines. Management believes it will
install between 15,000 and 20,000 SecureDrop(TM) units in the additional
machines during the third and fourth quarters of 2001. The Company has signed
contracts or contracts pending approval with 12 international casino properties
for the purchase of 4,100 units. Management expects to ship these units in the
second and third quarters of 2001. The Company has installed 2,100 units for
five international customers who operate multiple properties controlling an
additional 90,000 gaming machines. Management believes it will install 3,000
SecureDrop(TM) units into these additional machines in 2001 and 6,000
SecureDrop(TM) units in 2002.

*THE COMPANY WILL BE OFFERING INTRODUCTORY PRICING THROUGH THE 1ST QUARTER OF
2001.

         SHUFFLERS

         Through year ended December 31, 2000, the Company has installed 443
Random Ejection Shufflers(TM), 334 of which are on a rental basis and 109 of
which were sold, at 59 properties.

         The Company is currently pursuing contracts with over 30 casinos for
the installation of approximately 240 Random Ejection Shuffler(TM) units (185
rentals and 55 sales). Management expects the majority of these units to be
installed during the third and fourth quarters of 2001. The Company is also
pursuing contracts for the installation of 60 Continuous shufflers, most of
which will be installed in the third and fourth quarters of 2001.

         EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decrease
through the year, reaching 21% by fourth quarter. This decrease is attributable
to efficiency in administration as volume increases. The Company plans to
increase the sales force from 4 to 14 by the end of 2001, then to 32 by the end
of 2002.

         Research and development expenses decrease during 2001 as the
SecureDrop(TM) 5000 System is completed.

         Finance, Human Resources and MIS departments plan to increase the
number of employees from an aggregate of 4 to 6 by the end of 2001 and then to 9
by the end of 2002.

         GROSS MARGINS AND NET INCOME

         Gross margins improve throughout the year, reaching 56% by the fourth
quarter of 2001 and 66% by the end of 2002, primarily due to:

o Efficiency in manufacturing as volumes increase thus reducing manufacturing
expense; o Improved product sourcing from subcontractors in Asia; and o Higher
prices/higher margins for the SecureDrop(TM) Series 5000.

         The Company anticipates it will be profitable by the third quarter of
2001, ending the full year with approximately $600 thousand in net income. Net
income for 2002 is projected to be $12 million.

         NEW PRODUCTS LAUNCH

         Field trials and beta testing of the SecureDrop(TM) 5000 System are
planned for the second quarter of 2001. Field trials and beta testing of the
specialty shuffler are planned for the third quarter of 2001, with the first
product shipments anticipated in the first quarter of 2002.
