Description of the Business [Abstract]

International Lottery & Totalizator Systems, Inc. (“ILTS” or the “Company,” together with its subsidiary,) designs, manufactures, sells, manages, supports and services computerized wagering systems and terminals for the global 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 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, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Unisyn Voting Solutions, Inc. (“Unisyn”), has devoted significant resources to developing federally certified end-to-end optical scan voting systems and a full-featured Election Management Software that provides precinct tabulation, ballot review and audio voting capability. In addition to the InkaVote Plus Precinct Ballot Counter (“PBC”) system certified to the National Association of State Election Directors (“NASED”) 2002 Voting System Standards (“VSS”), the Company recently received the 2005 Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (“VVSG”) certification from the United States Election Assistance Commissions (“EAC”) for its OpenElect® digital optical scan election system – a digital scan voting system built with Java on a streamlined and hardened Linux platform. As part of a jurisdiction's procurement process, the Company will provide the OpenElect® products' source code for independent review.

These efforts leverage the Company's extensive experience to develop highly secure, mission-critical solutions that meet the NASED 2002 VSS and the EAC 2005 VVSG standards. In addition, the Company's voting systems offer 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 required for poll workers to set-up and operate; and

·	Minimal voter re-education required.

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