Segment Information

The Company reports segment information based on the "management" approach.  Under this approach, operating segments are identified in substantially the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company's chief operating decision maker for purposes of evaluating performance and allocating resources.
  
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 the sales of the voting systems and hardware, software licensing, product servicing and software support services.
 
The Company's segment information is presented below (in thousands):
