EXPLANATORY NOTE

        This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A filed by Scientific Games Corporation (the "Company") amends the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003.

        Subsequent to the filing of such Quarterly Report, it was determined that a portion of the deferred tax asset, in the form of a net operating loss carryforward, recognized by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2002 should have been recognized at the time of the Company's acquisition of Scientific Games Holdings Corp. ("SGHC") on September 6, 2000 as a reduction to the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of SGHC. Accordingly, the Company has amended and restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2000, the two-month period ended December 31, 2000, each of the quarterly periods in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to give effect to such amendments and restatements by amending and restating the following sections of the Company's Quarterly Report: (i) Financial Statements (including the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) (Part I, Item 1); and (ii) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Part I, Item 2). For convenience, Parts I and II of the Company's Quarterly Report are included in their entirety in this Form 10-Q/A, although the items therein are not amended except as specifically indicated in this explanatory note. In addition to the foregoing amendments, (x) Item 6 of Part II (Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K) is being amended to include currently dated certifications of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and (y) the Quarterly Report is also being amended to include currently dated certifications of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and to reflect such certifications in Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Part I, Item 4). No other information in the Company's Quarterly Report is being amended by this Form 10-Q/A.

        The Company has not updated the information in this Form 10-Q/A to speak as of a date after the filing of the Company's Quarterly Report, and this Form 10-Q/A does not amend or update the information in such Quarterly Report in any way other than to give effect to the amendments and restatements described above, to the extent specified.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)

(1)   Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements

        Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003, it was determined that a portion of the deferred tax asset, in the form of a net operating loss carryforward ("NOL"), recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002, should have been recognized at the time of the acquisition of Scientific Games Holdings Corp. ("SGHC") on September 6, 2000 as a reduction to the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of SGHC. As a result: (i) deferred tax assets recognized at the date of the acquisition of SGHC have been increased with a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of SGHC goodwill; (ii) goodwill amortization has been reduced for the periods from the date of acquisition of SGHC through December 31, 2001; and (iii) deferred income tax assets recognized during the period from the date of the acquisition of SGHC through December 31, 2002 have been adjusted to reflect the amount considered more likely than not realizable based on the reversing effect of taxable or deductible temporary differences and the Company's NOL carryforward. In addition, the Company's restated income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 reflects a charge of $9,790 related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"), which caused the Company to reduce the recorded amount of its NOL to reflect the reduction in the amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of certain indefinite lived intangible assets. The restatements did not impact the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities or net cash provided by or used in financing activities in any of the restated periods, although it did impact certain non-cash components of cash flows from operating activities.

        Accordingly, the Company amended and has restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2000, the two-month period ended December 31, 2000, each of the quarterly periods in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003. Conforming changes reflecting these revisions have been made in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)   Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

        The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months then ended, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2003 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003 have been made.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

        The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted income available to common stockholders per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003:

 
  Three Months Ended March 31,
 
  Restated
2002

  2003
Income (numerator)          
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders (basic)   $ (4,812 ) 9,474
Add back preferred stock paid-in-kind dividend(1)       1,847
   
 
Income (loss) before preferred dividend available to common stockholders (diluted)   $ (4,812 ) 11,321
   
 
Shares (denominator)          
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding     42,067   59,450
Effect of dilutive securities-stock options, warrants, convertible preferred shares and deferred shares       28,482
   
 
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding     42,067   87,932
   
 

Basic and diluted per share amounts

 

 

 

 

 
Basic net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders   $ (0.11 ) 0.16
   
 
Diluted net income (loss) per share available to common stockholders   $ (0.11 ) 0.13
   
 

(1)
Convertible preferred stock paid-in-kind dividend is not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share in the three months ended March 31, 2003 since the preferred stock is assumed to have been converted.

        At March 31, 2002 and 2003, the Company had outstanding stock options, warrants, Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. (See Notes 14 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.)

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method. Accordingly, no stock compensation expense has been recognized for a substantial majority of its stock-based compensation plans. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, such costs would have been recognized ratably over the vesting period of the underlying instruments and the Company's net income and net income per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

 
  Three Months Ended
March 31,

 
 
  Restated
2002

  2003
 
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders as reported   $ (4,812 ) 9,474  
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects        
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects(1)     (1,096 ) (760 )
   
 
 
Pro forma net income (loss) available to common stockholders   $ (5,908 ) 8,714  
   
 
 
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic share:            
  As reported   $ (0.11 ) 0.16  
   
 
 
  Pro forma   $ (0.14 ) 0.14  
   
 
 
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per diluted share:            
  As reported   $ (0.11 ) 0.13  
   
 
 
  Pro forma   $ (0.14 ) 0.12  
   
 
 

(1)
The amounts for the 2003 period are net of income tax benefit. No adjustments were made for income tax benefit in the 2002 period as, during such period, the Company only recognized tax benefits of prior period operating losses to the extent such losses would be offset by net taxable temporary differences expected to reverse during the carryforward period.

        The fair value of the options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the weighted average market price at date of grant ($8.53 in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and $5.39 in the three months ended March 31, 2003) and the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003; expected option life of 7.0 years for both periods presented; volatility of 74% in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 73% in the three months ended March 31, 2003; and no dividend yield in either period presented. The average fair values of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, were $6.18 and $3.80, respectively.

(3)   Acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc.

        On January 17, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc. ("MDI") through (i) a tender offer at $1.60 per share, in cash, (ii) the purchase of shares from MDI's President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a separate stock purchase agreement and (iii) a merger agreement, whereby the remaining eight percent of MDI common shares was converted into the right to receive $1.60 per share in cash. With the purchase of MDI, the Company significantly expanded its offerings of licensed branded products and prize fulfillment and related services. MDI focuses on helping lotteries attract players to new kinds of tickets and second chance games that allow players to win merchandise, such as Harley Davidson motorcycles and trips and prizes like tickets to NBA playoff games. The Company's portfolio of licensed brands now includes Mandalay Bay, NBA, Harley Davidson, Wheel of Fortune, and many others. The Company expects that its acquisition of MDI will enable it to further expand the use of branded games and prize fulfillment services to continue to help its customers generate revenues to meet the needs of their beneficiaries. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting and the acquired assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net assets acquired is currently estimated to be approximately $26,656 and has been recorded as goodwill. This estimate is subject to revisions until the valuations of MDI's assets and liabilities are completed. The operating results of MDI have been included in the Company's consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of MDI been included as if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2003, the Company's pro forma operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 would not have been materially different from the actual reported results.

(4)   Business Segments

        The following tables represent revenues, profits, depreciation, amortization, and capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, and assets at March 31, 2002 and 2003, by business segment. Corporate expenses, interest expense and other (income) deductions are not allocated to business segments.

(5)   Income Tax Expense

        Due to the recognition in the fourth quarter of 2002 of the income tax benefit from the net operating loss carryforwards, the effective income tax rate for the first three months of 2003 is approximately 36%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to foreign and state income taxes.

        Income tax expense was $11,345 in the three months ended March 31, 2002, which reflects primarily foreign and state taxes, and a $9,790 charge in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of adoption of SFAS 142, which caused the Company to reduce the recognized amount of its NOL from $18,520 to $8,730 to reflect the reduction in the amount of the net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the loss carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of the tradename and employee workforce intangible assets. No current tax benefit was recognized on the remaining value of the domestic net operating loss carryforwards in the period in excess of the amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003

Background

        On January 29, 2002, we transferred the listing of our Class A common stock to the Nasdaq National Market from the American Stock Exchange and changed our trading symbol to "SGMS."

        The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of March 31, 2003 and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in the prior year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

        We operate in four business segments: Lottery Group, Pari-mutuel Group, Venue Management Group and Telecommunications Products Group. Our Lottery Group provides instant tickets and related services and lottery systems. Instant ticket and related services includes ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. In addition, this division includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers. Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant ticket and on-line lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance services for these products. This product line also includes software and hardware and support services for sports betting and credit card processing systems.

        In January 2003, we significantly expanded our offerings of licensed branded lottery products and prize fulfillment and related services with the acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc. ("MDI"). MDI focuses on helping lotteries attract players to new kinds of tickets and second chance games that allow players to win merchandise, such as Harley Davidson motorcycles and trips and prizes like tickets to NBA playoff games. Our portfolio of licensed brands now includes Mandalay Bay, NBA, Harley Davidson and Wheel of Fortune, plus many others. We expect that our acquisition of MDI will enable us to further expand the use of branded games and prize fulfillment services to continue to help our customers generate additional revenues.

        Our Pari-mutuel Group is comprised of our North American and international on-track, off-track and inter-track pari-mutuel services, simulcasting and communications services, and video gaming, as well as sales of pari-mutuel systems and equipment.

        Our Venue Management Group is comprised of our Connecticut off-track betting operations, and our Dutch on-track and off-track betting operations.

        Our Telecommunications Products Group is comprised of our prepaid cellular phone cards business.

        Our revenues are derived from two principal sources: service revenues and sales revenues. Service revenues are earned pursuant to multi-year contracts to provide instant tickets and related services and on-line lottery and pari-mutuel wagering systems and services, or are derived from wagering by customers at facilities we own or lease. Sales revenues are derived from sales of prepaid phone cards and from the sale of wagering and lottery systems, equipment, and software licenses.

        The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our pari-mutuel wagering business. As a result of inclement weather during the winter months, a number of racetracks do not operate and those that do operate often experience missed racing days. This

22



adversely affects the amounts wagered and our corresponding service revenues. Wagering and lottery equipment sales and software license revenues usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenues and operating results can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment sales and software licensing transactions. In addition, instant ticket and prepaid phone card sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions. Operating results may also vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period.

Results of Operations: See Note 4—Business Segments

Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements

        Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003, it was determined that a portion of the deferred tax asset, in the form of a NOL, recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002, should have been recognized at the time of the acquisition of SGHC on September 6, 2000 as a reduction to the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of SGHC. As a result: (i) deferred tax assets recognized at the date of the acquisition of SGHC have been increased with a corresponding reduction in the carrying value of SGHC goodwill; (ii) goodwill amortization has been reduced for the periods from the date of acquisition of SGHC through December 31, 2001; and (iii) deferred income tax assets recognized during the period from the date of the acquisition of SGHC through December 31, 2002 have been adjusted to reflect the amount considered more likely than not realizable based on the reversing effect of taxable or deductible temporary differences and our NOL. In addition, we restated income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 to reflect a charge of $9.8 million related to the adoption of SFAS 142, which caused a reduction in the recorded amount of the NOL to reflect the reduced amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of certain indefinite lived intangible assets. The restatements did not impact the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities or net cash provided by or used in financing activities in any of the restated periods, although it did impact certain non-cash components of cash flows from operating activities.

        Accordingly, we have amended and restated our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2000, the two-month period ended December 31, 2000, each of the quarterly periods in the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, and the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002. Conforming changes reflecting these revisions have been made in our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002

Revenue Analysis

        For the three months ended March 31, 2003, revenues of $123.3 million improved $16.4 million or 15% overall as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a $12.8 million or 14% increase in service revenue and a $3.6 million or 25% increase in sales revenue.

        The increase in service revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2003 is primarily attributable to a $12.9 million or 22% increase in revenues in the Lottery Group as compared to the prior year quarter, of which $6.2 million is attributable to SERCHI not being present in the first quarter of 2002 and the addition of MDI beginning January 10, 2003, and $5.3 million primarily attributable to a major promotional game with a Mexican customer and other minor increases in revenues related to the

23



Company's cooperative services programs and European lottery operations. Pari-mutuel Group service revenues were approximately $0.7 million or 4% lower than the previous year primarily due to lower Handle (dollars wagered) caused by the severe winter weather conditions in the northeast and the war with Iraq. Venue Management Group service revenues increased approximately $0.6 million or 4% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to increased commissions from the Mohegan Sun Casino as well as more favorable exchange rates in The Netherlands.

        The $3.6 million increase in sales revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2003 is primarily attributable to higher levels of systems and equipment sales in the Lottery Group and the Pari-mutuel Group. These increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million reduction in revenues in the Telecommunications Group as compared to the prior year quarter due to primarily increased price competition in the European prepaid cellular phone card market.

Gross Profit Analysis

        Gross profit of $52.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $8.8 million or 20% as compared to the same period in 2002, reflecting an $8.4 million or 21% improvement on service revenues, and a $0.4 million or 8% improvement on sales revenues. Margin improvements related to service revenues were primarily attributable to increased instant ticket sales to domestic customers, as well as the addition of MDI and the inclusion of SERCHI as compared to the prior year quarter. A decrease of $0.6 million or 6% in gross margin was caused by lower service revenues in the Pari-mutuel Group primarily due to the war with Iraq as well as the severe winter weather conditions in the northeastern United States. Increased sales revenue as discussed above contributed approximately $0.4 million or 8% in gross margin increase during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to the mix of systems and equipment sold, partially offset by the decrease in revenues in the Telecommunications Products Group.

Expense Analysis

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $18.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $4.1 million or 29% higher than in the same period in 2002, primarily due to $1.4 million from the addition of SERCHI and MDI, $0.5 million from the favorable settlement of litigation in 2002, and $1.6 million for increased sales and marketing costs, compensation, medical costs and professional service fees.

        Depreciation and amortization expense of $9.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $0.6 million or 6% from the same period in 2002, primarily due to the acquisition of MDI and increased amortization expense on intangibles as a result of reclassifications made pursuant to the final purchase price allocation of SERCHI.

        Interest expense of $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $5.2 million from $11.5 million in the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the 2002 debt reduction program (see Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital).

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense of $6.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $5.0 million from $11.3 million in the same period in 2002. Due to the recognition of the income tax benefit from the net operating loss carryforward in the fourth quarter of 2002, the income tax provision for the period ended March 31, 2003 is approximately 36%. We estimate that our cash tax rate for fiscal 2003 will be approximately 18%.

        Income tax expense was $11.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002, which reflects primarily foreign and state taxes, and a $9.8 million charge as a result of adoption of SFAS 142, which

24



caused us to reduce the recognized amount of our NOL from $18.5 million to $8.7 million to reflect the reducted amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of the tradename and employee workforce intangible assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgements, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition on percentage of completion contracts related to lottery development projects and pari-mutuel systems software development projects, capitalization of software development costs, evaluation of the recoverability of assets, the assessment of litigation and contingencies, accounting for stock-based compensation, accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and accounting for income and other taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

        In 2002, we initiated a debt reduction program. In July 2002, we completed the public offering and sale of 14.4 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at a price of $7.25 per share (the "2002 Offering") and used the net proceeds of approximately $98.4 million (after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and prior to deducting offering expenses) to redeem approximately $83.0 million of our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes. As a result of these transactions, our capital structure improved, and Standard & Poors Ratings Group and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. upgraded our credit ratings. In December 2002, we replaced our existing senior secured credit facility (the "2000 Facility"), with the 2002 Facility, which consists of a $50.0 million revolving credit facility due 2006 that can be increased to $70.0 million, and a $290.0 million Term B Loan due 2008. As a result of the 2002 debt reduction program, we expect interest expense in 2003 to total approximately $26.0 million, assuming debt levels and interest rates remain constant. Approximately 81% of our debt is in variable rate instruments. Consequently, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a 0.125% change in the interest rates associated with our unhedged variable rate debt will result in a change of approximately $0.4 million per year in our interest expense assuming no change in our outstanding borrowings.

        Our financing arrangements impose certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries' operations.

        The credit agreement governing the 2002 Facility (the "Credit Agreement") contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale leaseback transactions, consummate certain assets sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, and create certain liens and other encumbrances on new assets. Additionally, the Credit Agreement

25



governing the 2002 Facility contains the following financial covenants at March 31, 2003 that are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:

        For purposes of the foregoing limitations, Consolidated EBITDA means the sum of (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense with respect to all outstanding indebtedness, (iii) provisions for taxes based on income, (iv) total depreciation expense, (v) total amortization expense and (vi) certain adjustments, in each case for the period being measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for us and our subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. Although we were in compliance with our loan covenants at March 31, 2003 and expect to continue to remain in compliance over the next 12 months, no assurances can be provided that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to continue to meet the covenant requirements beyond 12 months.

        The 2002 Facility provides for borrowings up to $50.0 million to be used for working capital and general corporate purpose loans and for letters of credit. At March 31, 2003, we had outstanding letters of credit of $22.2 million, but no outstanding borrowings under the 2002 Facility, leaving us with a total availability of $27.8 million as compared to $28.2 million at December 31, 2002. Our ability to continue to borrow under the 2002 Facility will depend on remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including maintenance of specified financial covenants. Presently, we have not sought and, therefore, do not have any other financing commitments.

        Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum operating lease obligations.

26



        Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock requires dividend payments at a rate of 6% per annum. To date, we have satisfied the dividend requirement using additional shares of preferred stock. The terms of the convertible preferred stock provide us with the flexibility to satisfy the dividend in cash, subject to bank approval. We expect that we will continue to make such payments in-kind.

        Our pari-mutuel wagering and on-line lottery systems service contracts require us to, among other things, maintain the central computing system and related hardware in efficient working order, provide added software functionality upon request, provide on-site computer operators, and furnish necessary supplies. Our primary expenditures associated with these services are personnel and related costs, which are expensed as incurred and are included in Operating Expenses-Services in the consolidated statements of operations. Historically, the revenues we derive from our service contracts have exceeded the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations under these pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts. We expect that we will continue to realize positive cash flow and operating income as we extend or renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any other material short term or long-term obligations or commitments pursuant to these service contracts.

        Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and on-line lottery contracts. Once awarded, these contracts generally require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically we have funded these up front costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to obtain additional financing at commercially acceptable rates to finance the initial up front costs. Once operational, long term service contracts have been accretive to our operating cash flow. For fiscal 2003, we anticipate that capital expenditures and software expenditures will be approximately $35.0 million. However, the actual level of expenditures will ultimately depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. The amount of capital expenditures in fiscal 2004 and beyond will largely depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. Furthermore, our pari-mutuel wagering network consists of approximately 26,000 wagering terminals. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have exhausted their useful lives. We presently have no commitments to replace our existing terminal base and our obligation to upgrade the terminals is discretionary. Servicing our installed terminal base requires that we maintain a supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory quantities to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations.

        At March 31, 2003, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $57.3 million compared to $63.1 million at December 31, 2002. Our available cash and borrowing capacities fluctuate principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems contracts, repayment of our outstanding debt and changes in our working capital position. The decrease in our available cash and borrowing capacity from the December 31, 2002 level principally reflects the use of net cash provided by operating activities and cash on hand to fund our $20.7 million acquisition of MDI, and to fund our wagering systems and other capital expenditures of approximately $3.4 million. These fundings were mostly offset by the $23.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Of this amount, $27.7 million was provided by operations and $4.5 million was used for changes

27



in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued interest, partially offset by the reduction of receivables.

        We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our lottery contracts periodically renew and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations through renewal of our existing contracts or through the addition of new contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with each state contract. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced any difficulty obtaining such bonds, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. While we are not aware of any reason to do so, if we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness, including our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on or before maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our revolving credit facility and our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. Among other changes, SFAS 145 rescinds Statement No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses because Statement 4 has been rescinded.

        We were required to adopt SFAS 145, effective January 1, 2003. Pursuant to SFAS 145, we will be required to reclassify the extraordinary losses we incurred in 2002 to other income/deductions in future reports.

        On March 12, 2003, the FASB added to its agenda two projects that will seek to improve the accounting and disclosures relating to stock-based compensation and pension costs. Amongst other issues, the project on stock-based compensation will address whether to require that the cost of employee stock options be treated as an expense. The FASB plans to start deliberating the key issues on this subject at future public meetings with a view to issuing an Exposure Draft later this year that could become effective in 2004. Separately, the FASB decided to add a project to its agenda that would seek to improve disclosures relating to employer pension plans. As part of this project, the FASB will address perceived deficiencies in current pension accounting by identifying ways to enhance disclosures about pension costs, plan assets, obligations and funding requirements. Until final standards are issued, we will not be able to quantify the impact, if any, that these two projects will have on our future consolidated operations or financial position.

Recent Developments

        On March 25, 2003, we announced that we were awarded the contract to provide an on-line AEGIS® lottery system to International Lotto Corp., S.A., a Peruvian company installing the first "Real-Time and On-Line Electronic Lottery" in the Republic of Peru. The initial term of the contract is fifteen years with an option to renew for an additional fifteen-year period. We estimate that the new contract will generate approximately $30.0 million of revenue over the initial five-year period.

28



        On February 20, 2003, the New Mexico Lottery Authority board of directors approved us as the choice for such lottery authority's instant ticket and related services contract. We anticipate that the contract will generate approximately $5.3 million of revenue over its four-year term.

        On January 17, 2003, we completed the acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc. ("MDI") through (i) a tender offer at $1.60 per share, in cash, (ii) the purchase of shares from MDI's President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a separate stock purchase agreement and (iii) a merger agreement, whereby the remaining eight percent of MDI common shares were converted into the right to receive $1.60 per share, in cash. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

        On January 9, 2003, we announced that we were awarded the contract to provide pari-mutuel services to STWK, the Poland racing organization. We anticipate that the contract will generate approximately $4.0 million of revenue over its ten-year term, plus up to an additional $3.0 million of revenue relating to a significant expansion of the racing organization's OTB network and simulcasting systems.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        Our products and services are sold to a diverse group of customers throughout the world. As such, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of changes in general economic conditions, sources of supply, competition, foreign exchange rates, tax reform, litigation and regulatory developments. The diversity and breadth of our products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes from any single event would materially affect our financial position. Additionally, as a result of the diversity of our customer base, we do not consider ourselves exposed to concentration of credit risks. These risks are further minimized by setting credit limits, ongoing monitoring of customer account balances, and assessment of the customers' financial strengths.

        Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Inflationary pressures would be significant to our business if raw materials used for instant lottery ticket production, prepaid phone card production or terminal manufacturing are significantly affected. Available supply from the paper and electronics industries tends to fluctuate and prices may be affected by supply.

        For fiscal 2002, inflation was not a significant factor in our results of operations, and we were not impacted by significant pricing changes in our costs, except for personnel related expenditures. We are unable to forecast the prices or supply of substrate, component parts or other raw materials in 2003, but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially affect our operating results.

        In certain limited cases, our lottery contracts with our customers contain provisions to adjust for inflation on an annual basis, but we cannot be assured that this adjustment would cover raw material price increases or other costs of services. While we have long-term and generally satisfactory relationships with most of our suppliers, we also believe alternative sources to meet our raw material and production needs are available.

        In the normal course of business, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. At March 31, 2003 approximately one-fifth of our debt was in fixed rate instruments. We consider the fair value of all financial instruments to be not materially different from their carrying value at year-end. The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. (See "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital.")

        Since 2002, we have been party to derivative contracts to hedge part of our foreign currency exposure with respect to future cash receipts under our contract with the Ontario Lottery Commission. These instruments, which have a notional value of 59.7 million Canadian dollars at March 31, 2003, have been designated as cash flow hedges. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, we recorded a debit to other comprehensive income (loss) of $2.5 million for the change in the fair value of these foreign exchange instruments, bringing the cumulative total to a debit balance of $2.1 million.

        The following table provides notional amounts and exchange rate information about our Canadian currency hedge derivative financial instruments. We do not hold any market risk instruments for trading purposes.

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

        Our cash and cash equivalents and investments are in high-quality securities placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits our exposure to concentration of credit risks.

Forward-Looking Statements

        Throughout this Form 10-Q/A we make "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "estimate," "intend," "continue," "believe," "expect" or "anticipate," or the negatives thereof, variations thereon or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q/A are generally located in the material set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" but may be found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management's reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we believe that the plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such plans or objectives may not be achieved.

        Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:

        Actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        As of a date within the 90 days prior to the date of this Form 10-Q/A, we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date in ensuring that all material information required to be included in this Form 10-Q/A has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

        There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the evaluation date.

Moreover, under Securities and Exchange Commission rules the Company's proxies will have discretionary voting authority with respect to any such proposal unless that proposal is submitted a reasonable time prior to the mailing of the Company's proxy statement for the 2003 annual meeting; that mailing is presently anticipated to occur on or about May 23, 2003.
