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.

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 received the 2005 Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (“VVSG”) certification from the United States Election Assistance Commission (“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 provides 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;
·
Reduce the cost of ballot printing while offering operational efficiencies;
·
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.
 
On January 8, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved (i) the Company’s reincorporation from California to Delaware by means of a merger with and into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (the “Reincorporation”) and (ii) a subsequent amendment to the surviving company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a 9,245,317-for-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) on outstanding shares of common stock. On January 8, 2014, BLM, the holder of 9,245,317 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 71.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of that date, approved the Reincorporation and Reverse Stock Split by written consent. Each shareholder holding less than one full share of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split, being every shareholder of the Company other than BLM, will receive a cash payment from the Company for their fractional share interests equal to $1.33 in cash, without interest, for each share of common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reincorporation and the Reverse Stock Split will be effected on or about the date 20 calendar days following the date on which the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”) relating to the Reincorporation and Reverse Stock Split is mailed to the Company’s shareholders. The definitive Information Statement was mailed to shareholders on December 9, 2014. The transactions are expected to be consummated at the end of calendar year 2014, and the Company will thereafter promptly terminate its registration and reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
