PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The terms “ILTS,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to International Lottery & Totalizator Systems, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified.

Organizational History

ILTS is a leading supplier of computerized wagering systems for the online lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries.  In addition, in recent years, our company has developed a fully integrated, certified end-to-end optical scan voting system consisting of the InkaVote Plus Precinct Ballot Counter (“PBC”) and full-featured Election Management Software that provides precinct tabulation, ballot review and audio voting capability in an integrated compact solution.  We have initiated a strategic alliance with Election Systems & Software, Inc. (“ES&S”) to grant ES&S an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, sell and sublicense our intellectual property relating to the PBC and PBC software to ES&S’s end customers.

Our company was founded in 1978 and completed an initial public offering in 1981.  Our operations and corporate headquarters are located in Vista, California.

Business Overview

Lottery and Pari-Mutuel Business

We design, manufacture, sell, manage, support, and service computerized wagering systems and terminals for the online lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries worldwide.  Although we are not presently doing so, we have also successfully demonstrated the capability to provide full facilities management services to customer organizations authorized to conduct online lotteries.

Our wagering systems include the following components:

 
·
A central computer installation that is comprised of computer hardware and a commercially available operating system used in conjunction with our proprietary DataTrak application software;
 
·
The Datamark and Intelimark families of point-of-sale terminals; and
 
·
The communication network to interface the terminals to the central computer installation.

System features include real-time, secure processing of data received from multiple locations, hardware redundancy and complete communications redundancy in order to provide the highest level of fault tolerant operation.

The DataTrak online gaming system controls the overall lottery operation.  Although to date it has been sold only in conjunction with our terminals, DataTrak can also be sold as a stand-alone system that will interface to third-party terminals.  Likewise, the terminals can be, and have been, sold separately to interface to a third-party lottery/tote central system.

The point-of-sale, proprietary components of our systems are the Datamark and Intelimark families of ticketing terminals. These terminals are compact, reliable, microprocessor-based units, which scan marksense slips or interpret operator-input data in order to produce a ticket receipt to be retained by the customer. Our newest terminal models use the latest touch screen and scanner technology.  

4

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

We sell the terminals separately or as part of a turnkey wagering application system, or we will modify a terminal's features or configurations and central system software to meet specific customer requirements.

Using commercially available hardware and software, we design the communication network to interface the DataTrak central system with the wagering terminals to best fit each customer’s specific application.

Our technology can be modified for use in secure transaction-processing applications outside the gaming industry.  Previously, we provided a toll-road ticketing system utilizing automated ticket printers and readers.

Voting Business

In recent years, we have devoted significant resources to developing a certified end-to-end optical scan voting system consisting of the InkaVote Plus Precinct Ballot Counter (“PBC”) and full-featured Election Management Software that provides precinct tabulation, ballot review and audio voting capability in a single compact unit.  These efforts leverage the Company’s extensive experience to develop highly secure, mission-critical solutions that meet all of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (“HAVA”) and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) requirements at a much lower cost than direct-recording electronic or touch screen systems.  In addition, the Company’s voting system offers the following features:
 
·
High level of security and vote encryption to ensure integrity and voter privacy;
·
Electronic and paper audit trails that offer added security and redundancy for recounts;
·
Minimal training for poll workers to set-up and operate;
·
Minimal voter re-education; and
·
Capability to tally results in real time.

Products and Services

Wagering Application Software

The principal component of our wagering system is the DataTrak central system software.  DataTrak controls the operation of the entire system.  It performs the following functions:

 
·
Maintains communication with each point-of-sale terminal;
 
·
Ensures complete security;
 
·
Logs all activity and wagers;
 
·
Populates a commercially available database in real time with high level security;
 
·
Identifies the set of winning tickets using the lottery game draw results;
 
·
Calculates prize pool amounts;
 
·
Allows the use of other third party software products to analyze and compile management data; and
 
·
Provides mission critical fault tolerance.

Development of this software has been an evolutionary process.  We continually incorporate new and improved technologies as they become available in the marketplace.  This allows us to take advantage of the latest technology trends to enhance existing features of our system, and also to provide new distribution channels and operational features so that our customers can reach new or expanding markets.  Since our software architecture is non-proprietary, customers can also utilize third party reporting and analysis software tools of their choice to interface with it.

5

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

The DataTrak system uses client-server architecture.  This gives customers the advantage of configuring the system economically to meet current requirements, and the ability to expand or contract the system as their operation requires.

In recent years, we have expanded the capability of the DataTrak system to address newly emerging sales channels of our customers.  These alternative sales channels have come about through the emergence of the internet and mobile applications.  The expanded capability is included in our product offering called “DataTrak Anywhere.”  This product allows the use of any or all of the following: Interactive Voice Recognition (“IVR”), Short Messaging Services (“SMS”), and the internet to interface to the DataTrak system.  These methods can be used to place wagers in a number of ways, depending on the availability of each method in a specific locale through:

 
·
An account with the lottery;
 
·
Prepaid card; or
 
·
Post-paid billing.

 Terminals

We have supplied in excess of 50,000 terminal products to the wagering industry since our first unit was sold in 1980. Currently, we have two families of full feature terminals in production: the Datamark and the Intelimark, both of which are:

 
·
Based on PC architecture and utilize commercially available software operating systems;
 
·
Small, lightweight, and highly reliable; and
 
·
Programmed using standard software languages.

Datamark

We have developed many models of Datamark terminals throughout our company’s history.  The current version is the Datamark XClaim terminal, introduced as a low-cost terminal.  Its optical mark reader and thermal printer require little or no adjustments or maintenance.  It is economically priced and extremely easy to use with features that increase operator efficiency and reduce transaction time.  The XClaim can be programmed to meet the specific operating requirements of each individual customer.  A keyboard is provided for operator input and a LCD displays the wagering details.

Intelimark

There are two terminals in the Intelimark family:

 
·
The Intelimark was introduced in 1999 and incorporates commercially available hardware and software from strategic partners.  The Intelimark was designed in concert with Seiko-Epson Corporation, one of the leading providers of point-of-sale terminals in the world.  The Intelimark incorporates a proprietary optical mark reader, and has the option of using a full-color touch screen or traditional keyboard to enter data.

 
·
The Intelimark FLX is a modular touch screen lottery terminal, packaged to offer maximum flexibility for retailer convenience. All components that make up the complete terminal are freestanding modules that can be arranged to meet the unique physical requirements of each retailer location.  Driven by the market demand for enhanced ticket reading capability, the Intelimark FLX is equipped with a high-speed contact image scanner that will accept up to A4 size slips and is capable of character recognition and signature capture.  Its modular design, open architecture and PC-based technology provide a flexible platform that can quickly and economically respond to the dynamic needs of both players and retailers.

6

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
 
In addition to two families of full feature terminals, we offer a completely portable, battery-powered terminal called the Passport II for mobile applications. This terminal can be equipped with mobile wireless modems to enable true online selling in remote areas or temporary venues where a full-featured terminal is not practical.

Spare Parts

In addition to sales of terminals and central system software and hardware systems, we also realize ongoing revenue from the sale of spare parts for use in the repairs and maintenance of the terminal population.

Software Support Agreements

We offer software maintenance agreements which feature:

 
·
Telephone hot line and e-mail support;
 
·
Standard upgrades and patches; and
 
·
Primary technical support for third party software products purchased through ILTS.

Additionally, we offer software modifications and enhancements to satisfy specific customer requirements.

Voting System Products

The InkaVote Plus optical scan voting system is a unique application consisting of the Precinct Ballot Counter (“PBC”) and the Election Management Software (“EMS”).  It provides a quick and cost-effective path to the replacement of pre-scored card voting systems.  With minimal expense, voting jurisdictions can upgrade to a field-proven optical mark system that eliminates the vagaries and controversies of punch cards and provides a permanent physical record of voter choices.  InkaVote utilizes a newly designed vote recorder that functions exactly the same as the punch card systems.  However, it replaces the punch with the stylus, thereby, eliminating the controversies and maintaining the traditional vote experience. The completed ballot card provides a permanent physical record of voter choices, and accommodates traditional recounting procedures.

Precinct Ballot Counter

The PBC, designed to read and validate ballots, is a precinct based optical scan device which includes a color touch screen operator interface, InkaVote ballot reader and validator, and precinct report printer.  With an integrated ADA compliant voting station, special needs voters may cast their ballots independently and privately through a variety of methods, including wheelchair access, portable voter recorders and audio assistance through earphones and special keyboards.

The PBCs set up is fast and simple with minimal assembly and interface required.  Poll workers need no special knowledge to set up or operate the system.  Election officials can quickly prepare polls and train poll workers.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Election Management Software
 
The EMS, consisting of the Ballot Data Generator and the Vote Tabulator software applications that work together to perform the following functions:

 
·
Define and configure an election;
 
·
Program the InkaVote Plus PBCs;
 
·
Provide camera ready ballot pages in PDF format;
 
·
Compile and tabulate vote results; and
 
·
Generate required reports.

It provides complete control of each step of the election process from ballot layout to report generation.  It utilizes streamlined menus and prompts to provide maximum flexibility and customization while guiding the user through every step in the process.  The system has multilingual capabilities and supports numerous languages in both standard and audible ballots.  The EMS creates the election specific database from information that can be imported manually and/or from an .XML file.

Product Markets

Revenue from the sale of lottery and horse racing systems is almost exclusively derived from contracts with foreign customers.  As of April 30, 2008, our equipment has been delivered and installed in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, England, Finland, France, Hong Kong, India, Macau, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Singapore, Swaziland, Sweden, the Ukraine, and the United States.

Revenue from the licensing of intellectual property rights associated with our voting PBC system and performance of election day support services are derived from our exclusive strategic arrangement with Election Systems & Software, Inc.

Competitive Business Conditions

We compete primarily in the online lottery and horse racing industries by providing high-quality wagering systems and terminals that are reliable, secure and fast.  In addition, we believe that we offer our customers greater flexibility in design and custom options than do our competitors.  The market for online lottery system contracts is highly competitive.  In general, our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do.  Although our sales in the United States have been insignificant, we believe that our company has been a substantial factor in the international marketplace.

Our principal competition for full lottery systems are:

 
·
Lottomatica (an Italian company);
 
·
Scientific Games (a U.S. company); and
 
·
IntraLot (a Greek company).

For terminal sales only, we have numerous competitors in selected markets.  In addition to the foregoing, some of our larger competitors include:

 
·
Wincor-Nixdorf (a German company);
 
·
KEBA, GesmbH & Co. (an Austrian company);
 
·
Sagem (a French company); and
 
·
Olivetti Tecnost (an Italian company).

For the sale of horse racing systems, our main competitor is Scientific Games (a U.S. Company).

8

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

With respect to the voting industry, Premier Election Solutions is the largest competitor followed by companies such as Hart Intercivic and Sequoia.

Manufacturing Processes

We assemble terminals, repair modules, and supply spare parts from our domestic facility.  During recent years, the design of certain high-production units has been streamlined. This cost saving measure has allowed us to outsource the assembly of these units to local manufacturers while maintaining control over the materials and quality.

In some cases, we have delivered terminal kits to customers who have purchased a license to assemble the terminals at their own location. Extensive training is provided to ensure high quality manufacturing.

Materials and Suppliers

For terminal components and spare parts, we generally have multiple sources, but a limited number of items are available only from a single supplier.  Accordingly, those items could from time to time, be in short supply or on allocation due to their limited availability.

For the year ended April 30, 2008, two vendors accounted for approximately 50%, or 40% and 10% individually, of the Company’s lottery terminals component purchases.  For the year ended April 30, 2007, four vendors accounted for approximately 70% collectively, or 25%, 16%, 16% and 13% individually, of the Company’s lottery terminals component and raw material purchases.

Dependence Upon a Few Customers

Our business to date has been dependent on major contracts from a specific pool of lottery operators.  Failure to obtain new contracts from existing and new customers would have a materially adverse effect on our financial performance.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We have three U.S. patents issued on our products.  We believe that our technical expertise, trade secrets and the creative skills of our personnel are of substantially greater importance to our company’s success than the benefits of patent protection.  We typically require customers, employees, licensees, subcontractors, strategic partners, and joint venture partners who have access to proprietary information concerning our products to sign nondisclosure agreements. We rely on such agreements, other security measures, and trade-secret law to protect our proprietary information.

International Lottery & Totalizator Systems, Inc., ILTS, DataTrak and Intertote are registered trademarks of our company.  We have other products that have been trademarked, such as Intelimark, Intelimark FLX, Passport II and DataTrak Anywhere, all mentioned herein.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Regulations

The countries in which we market our products generally have regulations governing lottery or horseracing operations, and the appropriate governing body could restrict or ban operations in these countries.  Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our company.

Foreign countries often impose restrictions on corporations seeking to do business within their borders, including foreign exchange controls, and in some jurisdictions, requirements for domestic manufacturing content.  In addition, laws and legal procedures in these countries may differ from those generally existing in the United States.  Conducting business in these countries may involve additional risks in protecting our business and assets, including proprietary information.  Changes in foreign business restrictions or laws could have a significant impact on our operations.

Research and Development

We are dedicated to ongoing research and development (“R&D”) to take advantage of new technologies, stay competitive in our market, and explore new markets where our core competency can be applied.

For our lottery customers, recent hardware research and development has focused on bringing to production our latest terminal product called the Intelimark FLX.  This product consists of commercially-available modules that can be configured in several ways to meet a variety of specific customer requirements.  The FLX incorporates a wide range of options, including touch screen, flat-panel technology, contact image scanning technology, and high-powered processing capability.

Lottery customers are also benefiting from our continued R&D efforts in the use of wireless terminal technologies using LAN/WAN equipment and cellular devices.  These technologies: Short Messaging Service (“SMS”), and Interactive Voice Response (“IVR”) allow bettors to place bets from any location, rather than at traditional point-of-sale agencies.  This research and development effort has allowed us to implement these technologies into our current product known as Datatrak Anywhere.

In general, we continue to examine other technologies based upon new industry developments, which will increase our customers’ market share.  For example, we have invested resources to expand specific applications to run on the Linux operating system.  These Linux based applications are targeted at products used in both wagering and voting markets.

We continue to dedicate our efforts on developing highly secure and mission-critical voting solutions that meet all of the Help America Vote Act of 2005 (“HAVA”) and American Disabilities Act (“ADA”) which allow any voters to vote, regardless of physical disabilities or language barriers.
 
For the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, R&D expenses were $456,000 and $49,000, respectively, none of which were borne by our customers.

Environment Effects

There are no significant capital expenditures required to comply with laws relating to the protection of the environment.

Employees

As of April 30, 2008, we had 36 employees employed on a full-time equivalent basis.  We have no employees that are members of labor unions.  We believe our relationship with our employees is satisfactory.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business faces risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. These factors represent risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we do not presently consider significant may also impair our business or the trading price of our securities.

If we do not execute on our strategic initiatives, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The future performance of our business will depend significantly on our ability to execute effectively and implement the strategic initiatives. These initiatives include executing our market strategy including designing products to meet market trends and ensuring that an appropriate infrastructure is in place to meet the needs of customers; continuing to reduce product costs; and further improving the efficiency of operations, including lowering operating costs and enabling higher value services.
 
Successful execution of these initiatives depends on a number of factors including:
 
·
The ability to attract and retain sufficient number of key technical employees and senior management personnel;
 
·
Retaining customers by providing satisfactory levels of support and service for our products;
 
·
Our ability to develop and introduce new products or programs, because of the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with product development, particularly in response to government regulations;
 
·
The identification and introduction of the proper mix or integration of products that will be accepted by the marketplace;
 
·
Our business may be subject to changes in laws, regulations and certification requirements with respect to our products;
 
·
Due to the political nature of our voting business, there is a risk that jurisdictions may decertify our voting products that had previously been certified; and
 
·
The ability of our products and services to differentiate us from our competitors and for us to demonstrate that these products and services result in improved products and reduced costs.

Further, our success will depend upon our ability to maintain proper internal control, enhance the performance of the existing procedures and processes to adequately support our operations, strategies and business objectives.

Changes in domestic and foreign business restrictions or laws could have a significant impact on our operations.
The countries in which we market our products generally have regulations governing lottery or horseracing operations, and the appropriate governing body could restrict or ban operations in these countries.  Any such action could have a material adverse effect on our company.  Foreign countries often impose restrictions on corporations seeking to do business within their borders, including foreign exchange controls, and in some jurisdictions, requirements for domestic manufacturing content.  In addition, laws and legal procedures in these countries may differ from those generally existing in the United States.  Conducting business in these countries may involve additional risks in protecting our business and assets, including proprietary information.  Changes in foreign business restrictions or laws could have a significant impact on our operations.




11

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

We are dependent on a few customers.
Our business to date has been dependent on major contracts from a few different customers. The loss of one or more of these customers or failure to replace completed contracts with new contracts from existing customers would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Competitive pressures we face could harm our profits and gross revenues.
We compete for business opportunities against many domestic and foreign businesses.  In many cases, our competition has greater financial resources which may affect the outcome of a bid, regardless of the products and/or services that we have the capability of providing. Also, in order to be competitive, we may propose our products and services to a point where it could translate to lower profitability for our company.

Should we fail to successfully manage our key vendors, our financial results could be burdened.
Our arrangements with key vendors may make our operations vulnerable if those third parties fail to satisfy their obligations to our company due to changes in their own operations, financial condition, or other matters outside of our control.

If we are unable to develop and introduce new and enhanced products that achieve market acceptance in a timely and cost-effective manner, our operating results and competitive position may be harmed.
Our future success will depend on our ability, in a timely and cost-effective manner, to develop and introduce new products and enhancements to our existing products. We must also achieve market acceptance for these products and enhancements. If we do not successfully develop and achieve market acceptance for new and enhanced products, our ability to maintain or increase revenues will suffer. Even if new and enhanced products are introduced to the market, we may not be able to achieve market acceptance of them in a timely manner. The loss of a key customer, a reduction in sales to any key customer or our inability to attract new significant customers could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.
In the highly competitive industries in which we operate, operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.  In the event that we are unable to secure new business, we may experience reduced liquidity or insufficient cash flows.

Interpretations and policies regarding revenue recognition could cause us to defer recognition of revenue or recognize lower revenue and profits.
Revenue associated with the licensing of our company’s voting products and services will be recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP).  As our transactions increase in complexity with the sale of multi-element products and services, negotiation of mutually acceptable terms and conditions can extend the sales cycle and, in certain situations, may require us to defer recognition of revenue on such licenses. We believe that we are in compliance with US GAAP; however these future, more complex, multi-product, multi-year license transactions may require additional accounting analysis to account for them accurately, could lead to unanticipated changes in our current revenue accounting practices and may contain terms affecting the timing of revenue recognition.

Our business transactions may be subject to foreign currency fluctuation.
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  Sales are denominated almost exclusively in U.S. dollars.  Occasionally, sales have been effected in foreign currencies.  Fluctuations in exchange rates from reporting period to reporting period between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may have an impact on revenue and expense. Such effect may be material in any individual reporting period.

12

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Insurance
The Company maintains third party insurance coverage against various liability risks and risks of property loss. While we believe these arrangements are an effective way to insure against liability and property damage risks, the potential liabilities associated with those risks or other events could exceed the coverage provided by such arrangements.

We could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could seriously harm our business.
Although we have not been the subject of any such actions, third parties may in the future assert against us infringement claims or claims that we have violated a patent or infringed upon a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them. Third parties may in the future assert claims against our suppliers that such suppliers have violated a patent or infringed upon a copyright, trademark or other proprietary right belonging to them. If such infringement by our suppliers or us were found to exist, a party could seek an injunction preventing the use of their intellectual property.

Volatility of stock price
The company’s stock price is affected by a number of factors, including quarterly variations in financial results, the competitive landscape, general economic and market conditions, and estimates and projections by the investment community.

Fluctuating operating results may impact our liquidity
In the highly competitive industry in which we operate, operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.  We anticipate that our cash flows from operations, expected contract payments and available cash will be sufficient to enable us to meet our liquidity needs through at least April 30, 2009.  Although we are not aware of any particular trends, in the event that we are unable to secure new business, we may experience reduced liquidity or insufficient cash flows.

Credit risks
The Company’s investments in commercial paper are not insured.  In addition, the Company’s cash balances in financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limitation for coverage of $100,000.  The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining all of its cash balances with highly rated financial institutions.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

The discussion in this filing contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth or implied by forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include dependence on business from foreign customers sometimes in politically unstable regions, political and governmental decisions as to the establishment of lotteries and other wagering industries in which our products are marketed, fluctuations in period-to-period operating results, the absence of significant contract backlog, and other factors described in section 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-KSB.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. We base our estimates on historical experience, contract terms, observance of known trends in our company and the industry as a whole, and information available from other outside sources.  Estimates affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from initial estimates. The areas most sensitive to estimation are revenue recognition, warranty reserves, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the amortization period for capitalized software development costs and the deferred tax valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue by applying various relevant revenue recognition policies depending on the nature of the sale and the terms of the contract.

Complete Systems
ILTS’s complete wagering systems include the point-of-sale terminals, a central computer installation and a commercially available operating system used in conjunction with ILTS’s proprietary application software, and a communication network to interface the terminals to the central computer installation.  System features include real-time, secure processing of data received from multiple locations, hardware redundancy and complete communications redundancy in order to provide the highest level of fault tolerant operation.

A complete system is comprised of both hardware and software.  The hardware portion includes both central system servers and terminals. The software portion includes the application software for both the central system and terminals.

As directed by Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”) “Software Revenue Recognition”, we follow Statement of Position 81-1 (“SOP 81-1”) “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” in accounting for the sale of complete systems. We recognize revenue by using the percentage-of-completion method when the contracts for complete systems fulfill the following criteria:

1.
Contract performance extends over long periods of time;
2.
The software portion involves significant production, modification or customization;
 

17

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

3.
Reasonably dependable estimates can be made on the progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs; and
4.
Each element is essential to the functionality of the other elements of the contracts.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, sales and estimated gross profits are recognized as work progresses.  Progress toward completion is measured by the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs.  Revenue and gross profit may be adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs.   If the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which it becomes evident. The total estimated loss includes all costs allocable to the specific contract.

Each complete system contract is reviewed individually to determine the appropriate basis of recognizing revenue. If the contract does not fulfill the above criteria, revenues are recognized only when:

1.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of signed contracts or purchase orders;
2.
The contract or purchase order contains a fixed or determinable selling price to the buyer;
3.
Collectibility is reasonably assured through due diligence, historical payment practices or upfront payments; and
4.
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered in accordance with contract terms.

Software – only
In addition to the software portion of a complete system, we develop software for our customers in accordance with the specifications stipulated in a software supply contract. Generally, these contracts are related to additional features or modules to be added to the application software that we have previously developed for our customers.  Each software contract is reviewed individually to determine the appropriate basis of recognizing revenue.

For software contracts involving significant development efforts that extend over long periods of time and fulfill the criteria as set out in SOP 81-1, the related revenues are recognized by using the percentage-of-completion method. Other software supply contract revenues are recognized upon delivery when all the conditions specified in SOP 97-2 are met.

Hardware – only
Hardware in the form of assembled terminals, component kits or replacement parts (“spares”) may be sold separately to our customers. Revenues for the sale of hardware are recognized upon shipment in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition” only when:

1.
The Company has evidence that arrangements exist;
2.
The price to the buyer is fixed through signed contracts or purchase orders;
3.
Shipping documents illustrate that delivery of hardware has occurred, as stipulated in the terms of the customer contract; and
4.
Collectibility is reasonably assured through one or more of the following: due diligence prior to contract signing; historical payment practices; or required upfront payments.


18

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Service Revenues
 
Service revenues include software support and facility management agreements. Revenues from software support agreements are recognized, provided collectability is reasonably assured, in accordance with SOP 97-2 depending on the nature of the associated expenses:

1.
If costs are immaterial or incurred on a straight-line basis, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement;
2.
Otherwise, revenue is recognized over the period of the agreement in proportion to the amounts expected to be charged to expense for the services rendered during the period.

We did not have any facility management agreements as of or during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, although we have had them at certain times in previous fiscal years.

For the voting segment, service revenues are derived from on-site technical product support services provided to end customers.  Service revenues are recognized as the services are rendered, and the related costs of services are recognized on a time and materials basis.

Licensing Revenues

Revenues associated with the licensing of the Company’s PBC voting system is recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2.  Among other requirements for the recognition of revenue, SOP 97-2 requires all of the following criteria to be met:

1.         Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2.         Delivery has occurred;
3.         Fee is fixed or determinable; and
4.         Collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company’s revenue arrangement may include multiple deliverables consisting of intellectual property rights, services and software that is essential to the functionality of the products as a whole.  In addition to fulfilling the abovementioned four basic criteria of revenue recognition, the Company determines the timing and amount of revenue recognized using the following criteria:

1.
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis;
2.
There is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered item(s);
3.
Any undelivered item is not essential to the functionality of the delivered item(s); and
4.
Delivery of the delivered item(s) represents the culmination of the earnings process for those element(s).

If these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the last element is delivered.

Deferred Revenues
 
Deferred revenues of approximately $218,000 as of April 30, 2008 represent prepayment for software products which were related to the use of the PBC system and prepaid software support services.  The Company will recognize the revenues upon its fulfillment of the prescribed criteria for revenue recognition.


19

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts is based primarily upon our company’s historical bad debt experience with individual customers and any known specific issues or disputes that exist as of the balance sheet date.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated warranty costs are accrued as revenues are recognized.  Warranty reserves are based on historical trends and are adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience. Customers do not have a right to return, except for defective products. The most recent inventory cost is used to determine the value of potential warranty costs.  Estimated reserves for warranty obligations are accrued as follows:

1.
Contracts – Contract warranties are specific to the individual contracts. Estimated reserves for warranty obligations are accrued as revenue is recognized.  Hardware and software components may be warranted separately:
 
a.
Hardware – The warranty phase for terminals or terminal kits commences upon shipment and can extend from six months to 12 months depending on the specific contract terms.
 
b.
Software – The warranty phase typically represents a six to twelve-month period of time after delivery, as defined by the specific contract terms.  For the voting segment, warranty phase represents a two-year period upon acceptance of the voting units by the end customers.
2.
Spares – Terminal replacement parts are warranted to be free from defects for 90 days from the date of shipment.  Based on historical experience, warranty costs for spares have been immaterial.
3.
Other – Specific provisions have been made to cover a small number of particular replacement parts for specific customers.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
 
We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our net deferred tax assets considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future years in which temporary differences reverse.  Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and timing of future taxable income, we offset our deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation as of April 30, 2008 and 2007.

Significant fluctuations in year-to-year revenue are expected in both gaming and voting industries.  Individual contracts are generally of considerable value, and the timing of contracts or sales of spare parts does not occur in a predictable trend.  Contracts from the same customer may not recur or generally do not recur in the short-term.  Accordingly, comparative results between periods are not indicative of trends in contract revenue.

Licensing revenue for the year ended April 30, 2008 was $4.7 million.  There was no licensing revenue generated for fiscal 2007.  We derived licensing revenue from the executed voting contracts between our strategic partner, Election Systems & Software, Inc. (“ES&S”) and its end customers.

Contract revenue for the year ended April 30, 2008 was $4.8 million, compared to $9.6 million for fiscal 2007.  The significant reduction in contract revenue in 2008 was principally due to the substantial completion of one lottery contract with a related party as of April 30, 2007, offset by two lottery terminal orders from two related customers.

Spares revenue for the year ended April 30, 2008 was $3.0 million, compared to $1.3 million for fiscal 2007.  The increase in spares revenue in 2008 is due to a significant spare part order from an unrelated party. We derived spares revenue from various customers on the shipment of spares orders.  Customer demand for spare parts fluctuates from period to period.

Product servicing and support revenue of $285,000 in the year ended April 30, 2008 is principally related to the servicing of the PBCs for ES&S in a one-time arrangement and periodic election support to ES&S’ end customers with respect to the voting segment.

Software support revenue for the year ended April 30, 2008 increased by $68,000 when compared to that of fiscal 2007.  The increase is attributable to higher annual software support fees upon renewal.

Related party revenue of approximately $5.5 million accounted for 42% of total revenue in the year ended April 30, 2008, compared to $10.3 million or 93% of total revenue in fiscal 2007.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
 
 
Individual contracts are generally significant in value and are awarded in a highly competitive bidding process. The gross profit margin varies from one contract to another, depending on the size of the contract and the competitive market conditions. Accordingly, comparative results between periods are not indicative of trends in gross profit margin.

During the year ended April 30, 2008, overall gross profit was 46%, compared to 21% in fiscal 2007.  Higher gross profit margins achieved in 2008 are principally due to the licensing revenue having substantially lower cost of sales and lower production overhead costs, offset by the impairment charge of $1.1 million associated with the kit inventory.  Previously, the Company has reported that it had approximately $1.9 million in kit inventory related to previous orders from an unrelated international customer which it will not ship to the customer until it receives substantially all of the payments due and the required deposits are made.   Based on management’s assessment of the marketing opportunities and the recent nonpayment by the said customer which increased the uncertainty relating to customer’s financial ability to purchase additional kit inventory, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million during the quarter ended April 30, 2008.

Costs of sales of products for year ended April 30, 2007 reflect an impairment charge of $422,000 to properly reflect the net realizable value of our spare parts inventory.  This was attributable to the reduced demand for our terminal models currently in the field and the anticipated resulting decrease in spare parts required to service these terminals.

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

For the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, R&D expenses were $456,000 and $49,000, respectively. We attribute the significant increase to the development of new technology in the voting segment and enhancement of the existing products relating to the lottery.  We anticipate that R&D expenses will increase substantially in coming fiscal year as we focus our efforts more extensively on the development of new voting system products and enhancement of existing lottery technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses for the year ended April 30, 2008 were $1.8 million, compared to $1.6 million for fiscal 2007.  We attribute the increase to the charge to bad debt expense of $75,000, increased marketing and sales activities in both voting and lottery segments. Additionally, we incurred higher professional service fees associated with recently issued accounting requirements.  We anticipate that SG&A expense will remain relatively constant for the coming fiscal year.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Other income in the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 primarily consisted of interest and dividend income.  We derived interest and dividend income from short-term investments and cash and cash equivalent balances.

Of the $286,000 in other expense in the year ended April 30, 2007, $275,000 represents cumulative foreign currency translation loss realized upon the substantially complete dissolution of our Australian subsidiary, ILTS Australia Pty. Ltd. in April 2007.  Although the Company completely dissolved its Australian subsidiary in 2008, it will continue to service customers in that area from other location.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes of $21,000 and $89,000 during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, represent Federal and State alternative minimum taxes arising from the limitations on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity

Our net working capital at April 30, 2008 was $6.1 million.

Contract backlog at April 30, 2008 was $4.2 million.  Of this amount, approximately $3.5 million is attributable to a lottery system contract, remaining shipment relating to a lottery terminal order, and software development project.   The remaining contract backlog amount of approximately $700,000 relates to executed voting contracts.  

Additional sources of cash through April 2009 are expected to be derived from spares revenue, software support and election support service revenues.  Uses of cash are expected to be for normal operating expenses and costs associated with contract execution.

While we anticipate that we will be successful in obtaining additional product or service contracts to enable us to continue normal operations through April 30, 2009, there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire new contracts.

In the highly competitive industry in which we operate, operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.  We anticipate that our cash flows from operations, expected contract payments and available cash will be sufficient to enable us to meet our liquidity needs through at least April 30, 2009.  Although we are not aware of any particular trends, in the event that we are unable to secure new business, we may experience reduced liquidity or insufficient cash flows.

Cash Flow Analysis
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $808,000 for the year ended April 30, 2008, compared to $567,000 for the fiscal 2007.  The following factors contribute significantly to the year-to-year change in operating cash flow:

 
§
Decrease of $3.8 million in deferred revenues in fiscal 2008, compared to an increase of $3.5 million in fiscal 2007;
 
§
Decrease of $477,000 in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts in fiscal 2008, compared to a decrease of $7.9 million in fiscal 2007;
 
·
Increase of $183,000 in accounts receivable in fiscal 2008, compared to a decrease of $3.0 million in fiscal 2007; and
 
·
Increase of $251,000 in inventories in fiscal 2008, compared to a decrease of $184,000 in fiscal 2007.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.0 million for the year ended April 30, 2008, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $842,000 for fiscal 2007.  Net cash provided by investing activities in the year ended April 30, 2008 resulted from the sale of short-term investments in auction rate securities and redemption of matured certificates of deposits.   Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended April 30, 2007 resulted from the purchase of short-term investments.  Capital expenditures amounted to $80,000 in the year ended April 30, 2008, compared to $191,000 in fiscal 2007.

Financing activities remained insignificant for both fiscal years 2008 and 2007.

Capital Resources

As of April 30, 2008, there were no unused credit facilities.

Foreign Currency Fluctuation

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  Sales are denominated almost exclusively in U.S. dollars.  Occasionally, sales have been effected in foreign currencies.  Fluctuations in exchange rates from reporting period to reporting period between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may have an impact on revenue and expense. Such effect may be material in any individual reporting period.

The balance sheet of the our Australian subsidiary for fiscal 2007 was translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated in the Company’s balance sheet at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses were translated at average rates during the period.  Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency denominated assets were accounted for as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.  Therefore, fluctuations from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar impacted the foreign currency translation component of the Company’s reported shareholders’ equity.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material.  As of April 30, 2008, our Australian subsidiary was completely dissolved.  We recorded $275,000 in other expense in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the recognition of its cumulative foreign currency translation loss upon substantial dissolution of the subsidiary.

Although we completely dissolved its Australian subsidiary in 2008, we will continue to service customers in that area from another location.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” ("SFAS 157").  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

The FASB and its Emerging Issues Task Force had issued certain other accounting pronouncements as of April 30, 2008 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, our management does not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during 2008 or 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of The Business

International Lottery & Totalizator Systems, Inc. (“ILTS” or, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) designs, manufactures, sells, manages, supports and services computerized wagering systems and terminals for the global online lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries.  The wagering system features include real-time, secure processing of data received from multiple locations, hardware redundancy and complete communications redundancy in order to provide the highest level of fault tolerant operation. In addition, although the Company is not presently doing so, ILTS has demonstrated capability to provide full facilities management services to customer organizations authorized to conduct online lotteries.  The Company is largely dependent upon significant contracts for its revenue, which typically include a deposit upon contract signing and up to six months lead time before delivery of hardware begins.

In recent years, the Company has devoted significant resources to developing a certified end-to-end optical scan voting system consisting of the InkaVote Plus Precinct Ballot Counter (“PBC”) and full-featured Election Management Software that provides precinct tabulation, ballot review and audio voting capability in a single compact unit.  These efforts leverage the Company’s extensive experience to develop highly secure, mission-critical solutions that meet all of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (“HAVA”) and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) requirements at a much lower cost than direct-recording electronic or touch screen systems.  In addition, the Company’s voting system offers the following features:
 
·
High level of security and vote encryption to ensure integrity and voter privacy;
·
Electronic and paper audit trails that offer added security and redundancy for recounts;
·
Minimal training for poll workers to set-up and operate;
·
Minimal voter re-education; and
·
Capability to tally results in real time.
 
In consideration of net revenue, as defined, ILTS, in accordance with the terms of a strategic arrangement, granted Election Systems & Software, Inc. (“ES&S”) an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, sell and sublicense ILTS’s intellectual property relating to the PBC and PBC software to ES&S’s end customers.  ES&S has agreed to act as ILTS’s exclusive distributor, reseller, on-going service provider and manufacturer of the PBC and PBC software.  The Company has recognized licensing revenue, manufacturing and product servicing and support revenues totaling approximately $5.3 million through April 30, 2008, of which approximately $4.8 million, $167,000, $130,000 and $185,000 was recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, third quarter of fiscal 2008, first quarter of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of fiscal 2007, respectively.  

Berjaya Lottery Management (H.K.) Ltd. (“BLM” or the “Parent”) owns 71.3% of the outstanding voting stock of ILTS.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILTS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.



32

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue by applying various relevant revenue recognition policies depending on the nature of the sale and the terms of the contract.

Complete Systems
 
ILTS's complete wagering systems include the point-of-sale terminals, a central computer installation and a commercially available operating system used in conjunction with ILTS's proprietary application software, and the communication network to interface the terminals to the central computer installation.  System features include real-time, secure processing of data received from multiple locations, hardware redundancy and complete communications redundancy in order to provide the highest level of fault tolerant operation.

A complete system is comprised of both hardware and software.  The hardware portion includes both central system servers and terminals. The software portion includes the application software for both the central system and terminals.

As directed by Statement of Position 97-2 (“SOP 97-2”) “Software Revenue Recognition,” we follow Statement of Position 81-1 (“SOP 81-1”) “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” in accounting for the sale of complete systems. We recognize revenue by using the percentage-of-completion method when the contracts for complete systems fulfill the following criteria:

1.
Contract performance extends over long periods of time;
2.
The software portion involves significant production, modification or customization;
3.
Reasonably dependable estimates can be made on the progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs; and
4.
Each element is essential to the functionality of the other elements of the contracts.

Under the percentage-of-completion method, sales and estimated gross profits are recognized as work progresses.  Progress toward completion is measured by the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs.  Revenue and gross profit may be adjusted prospectively for revisions in estimated total contract costs.   If the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recorded in the period in which they become evident. The total estimated loss includes all costs allocable to the specific contract.

Each complete system contract is reviewed individually to determine the appropriate basis of recognizing revenue. If the contract does not fulfill the above criteria, revenues are recognized only when:

1.
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of signed contracts or purchase orders;
2.
The contract or purchase order contains a fixed or determinable selling price to the buyer;
3.
Collectibility is reasonably assured through due diligence, historical payment practices or upfront payments; and
4.
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered in accordance with contract terms.

33

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

Software – only
 
In addition to the software portion of a complete system, we develop software for our customers in accordance with the specifications stipulated in a software supply contract. Generally, these contracts are related to additional features or modules to be added to the application software that we have previously developed for our customers. Each software contract is reviewed individually to determine the appropriate basis of recognizing revenue.

For software contracts involving significant development efforts that extend over long periods of time and fulfill the criteria as set out in SOP 81-1, the related revenues are recognized by using the percentage-of-completion method. Other software supply contract revenues are recognized upon delivery when all the conditions specified in SOP 97-2 are met.

Hardware – only
 
Hardware in the form of assembled terminals, component kits or replacement parts (“spares”) may be sold separately to our customers. Revenues for the sale of hardware are recognized upon shipment in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, Topic 13 “Revenue Recognition” only when:

1.
The Company has evidence that arrangements exist;
2.
The price to the buyer is fixed through signed contracts or purchase orders;
3.
Shipping documents illustrate that delivery of hardware has occurred, as stipulated in the terms of the customer contract; and
4.
Collectibility is reasonably assured through one or more of the following: due diligence prior to contract signing; historical payment practices; or required upfront payments.

Service Revenues

Service revenues include software support and facility management agreements. Revenues from software support agreements are recognized, provided collectibility is reasonably assured, in accordance with SOP 97-2 depending on the nature of the associated expenses:

1.
If costs are immaterial or incurred on a straight-line basis, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement;
2.
Otherwise, revenue is recognized over the period of the agreement in proportion to the amounts expected to be charged to expense for the services rendered during the period.

We did not have any facility management agreements as of April 30, 2008 or during fiscal 2008 and 2007, although we have had them at certain times in previous fiscal years.

For the voting segment, service revenues are derived from on-site technical product support services provided to end customers.  Service revenues are recognized as the services are rendered, and the related costs of services are recognized on a time and materials basis.

 Licensing Revenue

Revenues associated with the licensing of the Company’s PBC voting system are recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2.  Among other requirements for the recognition of revenue, SOP 97-2 requires all of the following criteria to be met:

1.         Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
2.         Delivery has occurred;
3.         Fee is fixed or determinable; and
4.         Collectibility is reasonably assured.

34

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

The Company’s revenue arrangement may include multiple deliverables consisting of intellectual property rights, services and software that is essential to the functionality of the products as a whole.  In addition to fulfilling the abovementioned four basic criteria of revenue recognition, the Company determines the timing and amount of revenue recognized using the following criteria:
 
1.
The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis;
2.
There is objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered item(s);
3.
Any undelivered item is not essential to the functionality of the delivered item(s); and
4.
Delivery of the delivered item(s) represents the culmination of the earnings process for those element(s).
 
If these criteria are not met, revenue is deferred until such criteria are met or until the last element is delivered.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues of approximately $218,000 as of April 30, 2008 represent prepayment for software products which were related to the use of the PBC system and prepaid software support services.  The Company will recognize the revenues upon its fulfillment of the prescribed criteria for revenue recognition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors:

1.
Length of time trade accounts receivable are past due;
2.
Our previous loss history;
3.
The customer’s current ability to pay its obligations;
4.
Known specific issues or disputes which exist as of the balance sheet date; and
5.
The condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.

Based on its evaluation as of April 30, 2008, the Company booked an allowance for doubtful accounts of $75,000.  It was determined that no allowance was required as of April 30, 2007.

Warranty Reserves

Estimated warranty costs are accrued as revenues are recognized.  Included in the warranty cost accruals are costs for basic warranties on products sold.  A summary of product warranty reserve activity for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 is as follows:

      (Amounts in thousands)
Balance at May 1, 2006
  $ 379  
Additional reserves
    62  
Charges incurred

    243  
Additional reserves
    347  
Charges incurred
    (165 )
Balance at April 30, 2008
  $ 425  

Warranty reserves are based on historical trends and are adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience. Customers do not have a right to return, except for defective products. The most recent inventory cost is used to determine the value of potential warranty costs.  Estimated reserves for warranty obligations are accrued as follows:

35

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
 
1.   Contracts - Contract warranties are specific to the individual contracts. Estimated reserves for warranty obligations are accrued as revenue is recognized.  Hardware and software components may be warranted separately:
 
a.   Hardware – The warranty phase for terminals or terminal kits commences upon shipment and can extend from six months to 12 months depending on the specific contract terms.
 
b.   Software – The warranty phase typically represents a six to twelve-month period of time after delivery, as defined by the specific contract terms.  For the voting segment, warranty phase represents a two-year period upon acceptance of the voting units by the end customers. 
 
2.   Spares – Terminal replacement parts are warranted to be free from defects for 90 days from the date of shipment.  Based on historical experience, warranty costs for spares have been immaterial.
 
3.   Other – Specific provisions have been made to cover a small number of particular replacement parts for specific customers.
 
Income Tax Uncertainties

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing a minimum probability threshold a tax position must meet to be recognized in the financial statements.  FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination.

The Company became subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of May 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method.  This requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the entire balance of its net deferred tax assets at April 30, 2008 and 2007 due to uncertainty regarding its realization.

Foreign Currency Fluctuation

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  Sales are denominated almost exclusively in U.S. dollars.  Occasionally, sales have been effected in foreign currencies.  Fluctuations in exchange rates from reporting period to reporting period between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may have an impact on revenue and expense. Such effect may be material in any individual reporting period.

The balance sheet of the Company’s Australian subsidiary for fiscal 2007 was translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated in the Company’s balance sheet at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses were translated at average rates during the period.  Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency denominated assets were accounted for as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.  Therefore, fluctuations from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar impacted the foreign currency translation component of the Company’s reported shareholders’ equity.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material.  As of April 30, 2008, the Company’s Australian subsidiary was completely dissolved.  

36

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

The Company recorded $275,000 in other expense in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the recognition of its cumulative foreign currency translation loss upon substantial dissolution of the subsidiary.

Comprehensive Income (loss)

The Company accounts for comprehensive income or loss in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or the current estimated market values.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.  The Company periodically reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based on the following factors:

·
Terminal models still currently in the field;
·
The average life of the models; and
·
The requirement for replacement parts on older models.

Inventories consisted of the following:

   
April 30,
   
April 30,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
(Amounts in thousands)
           
Raw materials and subassemblies
  $ 1,042     $ 1,831  
Work-in-process
    14       46  
Finished goods
    190       190  
    $ 1,246     $ 2,067  

Previously, the Company has reported that it had approximately $1.9 million in kit inventory related to previous orders from an unrelated international customer which it will not ship to the customer until it receives substantially all of the payments due and the required deposits are made.   
 
The model related to this inventory remains in continuous use presently in several jurisdictions and is actively being marketed to several additional prospective customers.  Based on its assessment of the  marketability of this inventory and its marketing efforts with the active prospects, the Company believes that inventory valued at approximately $800,000 remains sellable to those existing and prospective customers. Arising from this assessment and the recent nonpayment by the said customer which increased the uncertainty relating to customer’s financial ability to purchase additional kit inventory, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million during the quarter ended April 30, 2008.
 
The Company recorded an impairment charge of $422,000 during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 to properly reflect the net realizable value of its spare parts inventory.  This was as a result of reduced demand for the Company’s fully assembled older generation terminal models currently in the field and the anticipated resulting decrease in spare parts required to service these terminals.

Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures

Equipment, furniture and fixtures are carried at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the lease term.  In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, or when the net book value of such assets exceeds the future

37

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.

undiscounted cash flow attributed to such assets.  At April 30, 2008 and 2007, and during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, no indicators of impairment were identified.

Intangible Assets - Patent

The Company capitalizes the cost of obtaining patent rights. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the legal life of the patent or the estimated useful life of seven years, whichever is shorter.  Amortization of the patent began in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.  Amortization expense will approximate $3,774 per year.

Short-Term Investments

In accordance with SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” the Company’s short-term investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at their estimated fair value. The fair value of the investments as of April 30, 2008 and 2007, and the proceeds from investments sold during the twelve months then ended, approximated the related costs as of that date and for that period.  Accordingly, no realized or unrealized gains or losses related to the Company’s marketable securities were recognized.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
 
Short-term investments consisted of investments in certificates of deposits with maturities of greater than three months.

The short-term investments available for sale are as follows:

   
April 30,
   
April 30,
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
(Amounts in thousands)
           
Certificates of deposits
  $ 569     $ 2,100  
Auction rate securities
    -       2,575  
    $ 569     $ 4,675  

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Substantially, all research and development expenses are related to new product development and designing significant improvements.

Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs for new products or enhancements in accordance with SFAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.”  Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product are charged when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of the product. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software costs by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. Net realizable value is the excess of estimated future gross revenues over the estimated future costs of completing and disposing of the product.  If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes-off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceeds net realizable value. The Company established the technological feasibility of a computer software development product that applies its technology in the voting industry effectively as of June 14, 2005 and, accordingly, capitalized related costs of $806,000 for the year ended April 30, 2006.

The Company determined that capitalization of computer software development costs had to cease and amortization commenced at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, when the voting system became available for general release to customers. Capitalized computer software development costs are amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the software product by using whichever method results in a higher amount of annual amortization.  During the period from February 1, 2006 through July 31, 2006, the Company amortized the capitalized computer software development costs based on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of one year due to uncertainty regarding the projection of future revenue beyond one year.  During the quarter ended October 31, 2006, the Company increased the estimated useful life of the software product to three and a half years based on its projection that future revenue will be generated for a more extended period.  As a result of the change in the estimated useful life of the software product to three and a half years, the quarterly amortization expense was reduced by $167,000 compared to that of the first quarter of fiscal 2007.  During the quarter ended April 30, 2008, the Company amortized the capitalized computer software development costs ratably based on the revenue recognized in relation to the projected revenues associated with the related software.  The revenue method resulted in a higher amount of annual amortization as compared to the straight-line method.

As of April 30, 2008, accumulated amortization of software development costs totaled $770,000.  Amortization expense is estimated to be $36,000 for fiscal year ending April 30, 2009.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted to include the dilutive effects of the assumed exercise of stock options and the application of the treasury stock method.

At April 30, 2008 and 2007, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 86,000 and 119,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.84 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, stock-based compensation cost includes (1) quarterly amortization over the remaining requisite service period for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of May 1, 2006, based on the portion of the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” for which service has not been provided and (2) quarterly amortization over the requisite service period for all stock options granted subsequent to May 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.  Under the modified-prospective transition method, no restatement is necessary to stock-based compensation cost recognized in prior periods.  SFAS 123R required that the Company elect an approved method to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption of SFAS 123R within one year of its adoption.  During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, the Company elected to calculate its historical pool of windfall tax benefits using the “short-cut method” described in FASB Staff Position No. 123R-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,” which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

All stock options granted to employees prior to May 1, 2006 were fully vested at the beginning of fiscal 2007.  In addition, the Company did not grant any stock options or warrants to employees in the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007.  Therefore, there was no share-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized under SFAS 123R during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007.

Segment Information

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) requires companies to report certain information about operating segments in their consolidated financial statements and establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  SFAS 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company divides its operations into two operating segments: the gaming business and the voting business.  The gaming segment designs, manufactures and manages computerized wagering systems and terminals for the online lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries worldwide.  The voting segment, in consideration of net revenue, as defined, and in accordance with the terms of the strategic arrangement, granted ES&S an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, sell and sublicense to ES&S’s end customers ILTS’s intellectual property relating to the PBC and PBC software it designed.  The voting system business generated licensing revenue, manufacturing and product servicing and support revenue.

4. INCOME TAXES

The following is a reconciliation of the expected income tax provision or credit at the statutory federal income tax rate to the actual provision or credit:

Expiration of federal general business credit carryforwards
    -       530  
Other, net
    109       (88 )
    $ 21     $ 89  

For the year ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded Federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) of $16,000 and $88,000, respectively, due to limitations on the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards.  For the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company recorded State AMT amount of $1,000.  The amount of AMT paid is allowed as credit carryovers against regular tax in the future in the event that the regular tax exceeds alternative minimum tax expense.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the carrying amounts used for income tax purposes.  As of April 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had deferred tax assets of $20.4 million and $22.0 million, respectively, primarily attributable to its net operating loss carryforwards as further described below.  The Company has provided a valuation allowance against the entire balance of its deferred tax assets at April 30, 2008 and 2007 due to the uncertainty regarding realization.  The $1.6 million decrease in the deferred tax assets in 2008 was due primarily to the effects of the utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards, reduction of deferred revenue, and the utilization of California credit carryforwards, which were offset by the effects of increases in reserves and accruals during the year ended April 30, 2008.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) as of April 30, 2008.  Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2008.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We continue to document procedures and enhance controls in our comprehensive effort to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Under the latest extension, non-accelerated filers have to comply with the Section 404 (a) requirement of the Act for the first fiscal year ending on or after December 15, 2007.  As a non-accelerated filer with a fiscal year end of April 30, we must first provide the management’s report on internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.  In addition, as required by Section 404 (b) of the Act, as amended, the auditor’s attestation report on internal control over financial reporting will be required for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2010.

We believe that our present internal control program has been effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that our financial reporting has not been materially misstated.  Nonetheless, we will continue to review, and where necessary, enhance our internal control design and documentation, ongoing risk assessment, and management review as part of our internal control program.
