NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Description of the Business

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 industry 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILTS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unisyn Voting Solutions, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included.

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on July 7, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for that year.

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.

Deferred Revenues and Deferred Cost of Revenues

Deferred revenues of approximately $2 million as of October 31, 2011 represent prepayments for products and services which were related to the use of the OpenElect® and PBC voting systems, lottery terminals and other software and technical support services.  

Deferred cost of revenues of approximately $376,000 as of October 31, 2011 consists of costs associated with the use of the OpenElect® voting systems and other software support services for which revenues have been deferred. The Company will recognize the revenues and related cost of revenues upon its fulfillment of the prescribed criteria for revenue recognition.

Certain amounts included in the costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts as of April 30, 2011 and October 31, 2010 have been reclassified to deferred cost of revenue and deferred revenue to conform to the current period’s presentation.

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 six months ended October 31, 2011 is as follows:

Segment Information

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 “Segment Reporting” 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. FASB ASC 280 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 and develops computerized wagering systems and terminals for the lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries worldwide. Presently the voting segment generates revenues from voting systems, software licensing, product servicing and software support services.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies outlined in the Company’s annual report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.

Significant fluctuations in period-to-period contract revenue are expected in both gaming and voting industries since individual contracts are generally considerable in value, and the timing of contracts does not occur in a predictable trend. Contracts from the same customer generally may not recur or generally do not recur in the short-term. Accordingly, comparative results between quarters and fiscal years may not be indicative of trends in contract revenue.

The current domestic and global economic slowdown and tightening of the credit markets may adversely affect our business and financial condition in ways that we cannot reasonably predict. For the gaming business, due to the tightening of the credit markets, our potential and existing customers may not be able to secure financing for lottery projects which could effectively impact our revenue potential. For the voting business, various government entities and jurisdictions have experienced severe budget constraints which could compel them to delay or cancel their purchasing decisions, and hence, impact our ability to generate revenue.

Contract revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was approximately $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2010. The increase is primarily due to the increased contract activities in the voting segment compared to the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, contract revenue was $1.7 million, compared to $2.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The substantial decrease is due to limited contract activities in the fiscal 2012.

11

Spares revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was $169,000, compared to $503,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. Spares revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2011 was $283,000, compared to $663,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. Substantially lower spares revenues in 2011 were primarily due to decreased demand for spare parts from the same pool of customers. Customer demand for spare parts fluctuates from period to period.

Software support revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was $191,000, compared to $166,000 for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, software support revenue was $383,000, compared to $348,000 in the same period in 2010. The increase is due to higher fees charged to one customer, partially offset by the termination of a software support agreement with a related customer.

Product servicing and support revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2011 was $60,000, compared to $23,000 for the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, product servicing and support revenue was $156,000, compared to $102,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to service arrangements with a related customer and higher demand for onsite support services from unrelated customers.

Related party revenue of approximately $1.3 million accounted for 66% of total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $1.2 million or 61% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, related party revenue of approximately $1.5 million accounted for 59% of total revenue, compared to $2.6 million or 70% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2010.

Total gross profit	$	567	29	%	$	735	37	%	$	427	17	%	$	1,248	34	%

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 competitiveness of market conditions. Accordingly, comparative results between quarters and fiscal years may not be indicative of trends in gross profit margin.

Overall gross profit margins were at 29% for the three months ended October 31, 2011, compared to 37% for the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, overall gross profit margins were at 17%, compared to 34% in the same period in 2010. The decreases in 2011 are largely due to higher unabsorbed production overhead costs reflecting limited contract activities. In addition, lower gross profit margin on the sales of custom spare parts and onsite support services attributed to the decreases.

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)

For the three and six months ended October 31, 2011, R&D expenses were $24,000. There were no R&D expenses incurred for the three and six months ended October 31, 2010. R&D expenses for the quarter ended October 31, 2011 consist primarily of labor costs for the development of new product in the gaming segment. While we continue to enhance our products, we anticipate R&D expenses will be minimal in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2012 as we focus and dedicate our efforts on the marketing and sale of the new voting system.

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

SG&A expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2011 were $689,000, compared to $598,000 in the same period in 2010. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, SG&A expenses were $1.3 million, compared to $1.2 million in 2010. The increases in SG&A expenses are primarily related to higher proposal and marketing activities and trade show expenses in the voting segment, partially offset by lower consulting fees related to the voting segment. We anticipate SG&A expenses will remain relatively constant in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2012.

Other Income

Other income in the three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 remained relatively insignificant.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our net working capital at October 31, 2011 was approximately $2.7 million.

12

Contract backlog at October 31, 2011 was approximately $6.2 million.  Of this amount, approximately $2.2 million will be derived from gaming orders received from two related customers. Of the $2.2 million amount, approximately $618,000 has been paid by our related customers as of December 14, 2011. The remaining contract backlog amount of approximately $4 million relates to voting and gaming contracts with unrelated customers. Of the $4 million amount, approximately $2.3 million has been paid by our unrelated customers as of December 14, 2011.Additional sources of cash through October 31, 2012 are expected to be derived from spares, software and technical support and licensing revenues. Uses of cash are expected to be for normal operating expenses and costs associated with contract deliverables.

While we anticipate that we will be successful in obtaining additional product or service contracts to enable us to continue normal operations through October 31, 2012, 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 October 31, 2012. 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.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

	Six Months Ended
	October 31,		October 31,		Increase
	2011		2010		(Decrease)
(Amounts in thousands)
Condensed cash flow comparative:
Operating activities	$	(1,280)	$	354	$	(1,634)
Investing activities		(65)		348		(413)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,345)	$	702	$	(2,047)

Cash Flow Analysis

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to the net cash provided by operating activities of $354,000 for the same period in 2010. The change was primarily attributable to higher inventory purchases to fulfill customer orders and related vendor deposits. In addition, we attribute the variability in the reported cash flow amounts to the net loss of $895,000 in 2011, compared to the net income of $36,000 in 2010, which resulted from the limited revenue generated. Furthermore, the change was attributable to the timing of the customer contract delivery and the related invoicing which effectively impacted the accounts receivable, deferred cost of revenue, cost and earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and an estimated earnings on the uncompleted contacts. These were partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue and an increase in accounts payable for inventory related purchases.

Net cash used in investing activities was $65,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $348,000 in 2010.  The change was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to computer and tooling equipment which amounted to $64,000 in the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to $150,000 in 2010.

There were no financing activities during the six months ended in October 31, 2011 or 2010.

Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2011, there were no credit facilities.

Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, revenues from all related party agreements for sales of products and services totaled approximately $1.3 million (66% of the total revenue) and $1.2 million (61% of the total revenue), respectively.  Related party revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 were approximately $1.5 million (59% of the total revenue) and $2.6 million (70% of the total revenue), respectively. Included in accounts receivable on October 31, 2011 was approximately $397,000 from these customers. Descriptions of the transactions with the Company's related parties in the three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 are presented below. 

Berjaya Lottery Management (H.K.) Ltd. (“BLM”)

In 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase specific inventory on behalf of BLM, the owner of 71.3% of ILTS's outstanding voting stock as of October 31, 2011.  

Over time, the Company has sold or used portions of the BLM inventory in unrelated third party transactions. The sale or use of the inventory resulted in a liability to BLM for the cost of the items utilized.

The financial activities and balances related to BLM were as follows:

•   There were no related party sales to BLM in the three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010;

•   There were no accounts receivable balances from BLM as of October 31, 2011 and April 30, 2011; and

Philippine Gaming Management Corporation

On May 3, 2011, the Company received from Philippine Gaming Management Corporation (“PGMC”), a related party and a subsidiary of BLM, an order valued at approximately $1.1 million for lottery products. Shipments of these products were completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, and the related revenue was recognized.

On August 12, 2011, the Company received from PGMC, an order valued at approximately $1.4 million for lottery products. Shipments of these products are expected to begin and be completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 “Segment Reporting” 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. FASB ASC 280 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 and develops computerized wagering systems and terminals for the lottery and pari-mutuel racing industries worldwide. Presently the voting segment generates revenues from voting systems, software licensing, product servicing and software support services.
