DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND 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. 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 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.
In recent years, we have devoted significant resources to developing a certified and 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 our 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, as of April 30, 2006, at a much lower cost than direct-recording electronic or touch screen systems. In addition, our voting system offers the following features:
    High level of security and vote encryption ensure integrity and voter privacy;
 
    Electronic and paper audit trails offer added security and redundancy for recounts;
 
    Poll workers require minimal training to set-up and operate;
 
    Require 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 the 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. As of October 31, 2006, the Company had recognized product sales revenue of $185,000 in connection with the manufacturing of certain PBC system components for ES&S, all of which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, but it has deferred all revenues related to the licensing of the intellectual property.
Berjaya Lottery Management (H.K.) Ltd. (“BLM” or the “Parent”) owns 71.4% 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. 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 Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-QSB. 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 unaudited 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-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 filed with the SEC on July 26, 2006.
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 revenue 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 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.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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 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:

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
  1.   The Company has evidence that arrangements exist and the price to the buyer is fixed through signed contracts or purchase orders;
 
  2.   Shipping documents illustrate that delivery of hardware has occurred, as stipulated in the terms of the customer contract; and
 
  3.   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 October 31, 2006 or during the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, although we have had them at certain times in previous fiscal years.
Licensing Revenue
Revenue associated with the licensing of the Company’s PBC system will be 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.
As of October 31, 2006, the Company is continuing to negotiate the terms of a software support agreement with ES&S and, accordingly, the criteria requiring persuasive evidence of an arrangement has not been met.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue of $1.3 million as of October 31, 2006 consists of amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized. Of the $1.3 million, $800,000 represents all of the payments received for hardware and software license fees related to the voting segment through October 31, 2006. Such license fees, which related to the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
use of the PBC system were not recognized as of October 31, 2006 due to the fact that persuasive evidence of an arrangement with ES&S is pending finalization of a software support agreement between the Company and ES&S. The Company will recognize the revenue upon its fulfillment of the prescribed criteria for revenue recognition. The remaining $500,000 is related to the payments received for spare parts orders. Revenue will be recognized upon fulfillment of the delivery obligations.
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 obligation;
 
  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 October 31, 2006, the Company did not record an allowance.
Warranty Reserves
Estimated warranty costs are accrued as revenues are recognized. A summary of product warranty activity is as follows:
         
(Amounts in thousands)        
Balance at May 1, 2006
  $ 379  
Additional reserves
    131  
Charges incurred
    (13 )
 
     
Balance at October 31, 2006
  $ 497  
 
     
Warranty reserves are based on historical trends and are adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience. Customers do not have a right of return, except for defective products. 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 contract terms.
 
  b.   Software — The warranty phase typically represents a six-month period of time after delivery, as defined by the specific terms of the contract.
  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. We use the most recent inventory cost to determine the value of potential returns.
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 continued to provide a valuation allowance against the entire balance of its net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2006 due to uncertainty regarding its realization.
Segment Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires companies to report certain information about operating segments in their financial statements and established 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.
As a result, among other factors, of the agreement with ES&S and the potential increase in the significance of the voting product, effective May 1, 2006, the Company began to divide its operations into two operating segments: the wagering business and the voting business. The wagering 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 began to generate product sales revenue on the manufacturing of certain PBC system components for ES&S, in a one-time arrangement. It has deferred all of the license fees it has received for the intellectual property pending completion of its arrangements with ES&S.

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 our international subsidiary is translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated with the Company’s balance sheet at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
are translated at average rates during the period. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency denominated assets are 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 may impact the foreign currency translation component of the Company’s reported shareholders’ equity. Historically, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material.
Comprehensive Income (loss)
The Company accounts for comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” The components of comprehensive loss are as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended

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:

  $ 2,154  
 
     
The Company recorded an impairment charge of $422,000 during the three months ended October 31, 2006, to properly reflect the net realizable value of its spare parts inventory. This was as a result of reduced demand for our 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.
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 October 31, 2006, and the proceeds from investments sold during the three and six months then ended, approximated the related cost 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.
Short-term investments consist of investments in auction-rate preferred shares with a cost and carrying value of $2,125,000 at October 31, 2006. Although the auction-rate preferred shares have long-term maturities, their dividend rates reset every seven days through a Dutch auction process and management believes, but cannot assure, that the Company can liquidate them on a short-term basis at their original cost. Accordingly, they have been classified as current assets.
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 other markets 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 product 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 over an estimated useful life of one year. This estimate was then based on the uncertainty regarding the projection of any 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 estimated useful life of the software product to three and a half years, the amortization expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 is reduced by $167,000 compared to that of the first quarter of fiscal 2007. As of October 31, 2006, accumulated amortization of software development costs totaled $438,000.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) 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 October 31, 2006 and 2005, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 225,000 and 417,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at prices ranging from $1.00 to $4.50 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock option plan, The 2000 Equity Participation Plan (the “2000 Plan”), that was approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders, whereby options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially authorized. The number of options authorized for grant may increase on January 1 of each plan year by 3% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on that date subject to the limitation that the total number of shares of common stock subject to all options granted shall not exceed 10% of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock on that date.
Prior to May 1, 2006, the Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” and, as permitted by SFAS 123, applied the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method and no compensation expense was recognized when the exercise price of stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Options granted to non-employees were recorded at fair value in accordance with SFAS 123.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
As a result of amendments to SFAS 123, effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted 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 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. All stock options granted to employees prior to May 1, 2006 were fully vested as of October 31, 2006. In addition, the Company did not grant any stock options or warrants to employees in the three and six months ended October 31, 2006. Therefore, there was no stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options recognized under SFAS 123R during the three and six months ended October 31, 2006. In addition, there was no material difference between the Company’s historical net loss in the three and six months ended October 31, 2005 and the pro forma net loss for such period assuming compensation cost had been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for all awards granted prior to May 1, 2004 and amortized over the vesting period consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123.
STOCK OPTIONS
Descriptions of the stock option plans are included in the preceding discussion under “Stock-Based Compensation” and in Note 10 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2006.

As of October 31, 2006, the total receivable balance, all of which was past due, from one unrelated, international customer totaled $605,000 which represented 42% of total accounts receivable and 8% of total assets. The balance receivable, which is unsecured, arose primarily from sales of terminal kits shipped during the last quarter of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
During the year ended April 30, 2004, the customer agreed to make installment payments through June 20, 2005 to repay the then outstanding balance of $6.3 million. The Company received payments totaling $962,000 during the period from December 1, 2003 to April 30, 2004. In addition, the Company received payments totaling approximately $3.3 million during the period from May 1, 2004 to June 20, 2005 which was $2.0 million less than the scheduled installment payments. Furthermore, the Company received payments of $900,000 from June 21, 2005 through April 30, 2006, $525,000 from May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006 and $100,000 from November 1, 2006 through December 14, 2006 which reduced the past due balance to $1.1 million at April 30, 2006, $605,000 at October 31, 2006 and $505,000 at December 14, 2006.
Based on discussions with the customer, management of the Company believes that the customer’s reduced payments are a result primarily of temporary factors with lottery regulators in certain areas in which it operates. Management of the Company also believes, but cannot assure, that such problems will be resolved and that the missed payments will be made on an installment basis. Based on the customer’s recent payments and the customer’s commitment to make the remaining aggregate payment of $505,000 by July 31, 2007, the Company believes the outstanding amount will be collected. Nonpayment by the customer of the remaining balance could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations.
Additionally, the Company had approximately $1.9 million in kit inventory related to orders from this customer as of both October 31, 2006 and 2005 which it will not ship to the customer until it receives substantially all of the payments due. The Company has the right to sell such inventory to other customers. The model related to this inventory remains in continuous use presently in several jurisdictions and is being marketed to several additional prospective customers.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, revenues from all related party agreements for sales of products and services totaled approximately $4.5 million (93% of total revenue) and $607,000 (77% of total revenue), respectively. Related party revenues for the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 were $9.0 million (96% of total revenue) and $1.3 million (71% of total revenue), respectively. Included in accounts receivable at October 31, 2006 was $730,000 from these customers. Descriptions of the transactions with the Company’s related parties in the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented below.

This Act provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this Report are forward-looking. We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations, plans or projections and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations, plans or projections. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are urged, however, to review the factors set forth in reports that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The forward-looking statements contained in this filing 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 quarter-by-quarter operating results and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2006.
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.

Significant fluctuations in period-to-period contract revenue are expected in the gaming industry 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 do not recur in the short-term. Accordingly, comparative results between quarters are not indicative of trends in contract revenue.
Contract revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $4.5 million, compared to $8,000 in the comparable period in 2005. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, we generated $8.5 million of contract revenue compared to $332,000 for the same period in 2005. The significant increase in contract revenue in 2006 was principally due to one contract with a related party, along with the one-time revenue associated with the manufacturing of certain PBC system components for ES&S. We have deferred all of the license fees it has received for the intellectual property pending completion of its arrangement with ES&S.
Spares revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $327,000 compared to $732,000 for the corresponding period in 2005. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, spares revenues was $786,000 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2005. Customer demand for spare parts fluctuates from period to period. Hence, the reduction in the sale of spare parts is attributable to decreased demand for spare parts. We derived spares revenue from various customers on the shipment of multiple spares orders.
Software support revenues remained consistent and relatively insignificant for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005.
Related party revenue of approximately $4.5 million accounted for 93% of total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2006, compared to $607,000 or 77% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2005. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, related party revenue of approximately $9.0 million accounted for 96% of total revenue, compared to $1.3 million or 71% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2005.

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 quarters are not indicative of trends in gross profit margin.
Overall gross profit margins were at 26% for the three months ended October 31, 2006, compared to 5% for the corresponding period in 2005. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, overall gross profit margins were 28% compared to 8% in the corresponding period in 2005. Higher gross profit margins achieved in 2006 are principally due to the increased business activities associated with contract sales offset by the amortization of capitalized software development costs and other expenses associated with the voting product. As a result of the change in estimated useful life of the software product to three and a half years, the amortization expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 is reduced by $167,000 compared to that of the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Costs of sales of products for the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 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 three months ended October 31, 2006, R&D expenses were $2,000 compared to $18,000 in 2005. R&D expenses have remained insignificant due to the completion of the research and development efforts associated with a product that applies our technology in the voting industry. For the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, R&D expenses were $4,000 and $248,000, respectively. We attribute the significant decreases to the capitalization of computer software development costs associated with the voting product. We anticipate that R&D expenses will increase in coming quarters as we focus our efforts on the development and enhancement of the products relating to lottery and related industries.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2006 were $376,000 compared to $718,000 in the same period in 2005. For the six months ended October 31, 2006, SG&A expenses were $782,000 compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2005. We attribute the significant reduction to the rationalization and streamlining of operations including reduced payroll and personnel-related costs, improved cost reduction initiatives, reduced marketing expenses and lower consulting fees.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income and expense in the three and six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 primarily consisted of interest and dividend income and foreign exchange losses. We derived interest and dividend income from short-term investments and cash balances.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our net working capital at October 31, 2006 was $3.0 million.
As of October 31, 2006, the total receivable balance, all of which was past due, from one unrelated, international customer totaled $605,000 which represented 42% of total accounts receivable and 8% of total assets. The balance receivable, which is unsecured, arose primarily from sales of terminal kits shipped during the last quarter of fiscal 2003 and the first quarter of fiscal 2004.
During the year ended April 30, 2004, the customer agreed to make installment payments through June 20, 2005 to repay the then outstanding balance of $6.3 million. The Company received payments totaling $962,000 during the period from December 1, 2003 to April 30, 2004. In addition, the Company received payments totaling approximately $3.3 million during the period from May 1, 2004 to June 20, 2005 which was $2.0 million less than the scheduled installment payments. Furthermore, the Company received payments of $900,000 from June 21, 2005 through April 30, 2006, $525,000 from May 1, 2006 through October 31, 2006 and $100,000 from November 1, 2006 through December 14, 2006 which reduced the past due balance to $1.1 million at April 30, 2006, $605,000 at October 31, 2006 and $505,000 at December 14, 2006.
Based on discussions with the customer, management of the Company believes that the customer’s reduced payments are a result primarily of temporary factors with lottery regulators in certain areas in which it operates. Management of the Company also believes, but cannot assure, that such problems will be resolved and that the missed payments will be made on an installment basis. Based on the customer’s recent payments and the customer’s commitment to make the remaining aggregate payment of $505,000 by July 31, 2007, the Company believes the outstanding amount will be collected. Nonpayment by the customer of the remaining balance could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations.
Expected net revenue at October 31, 2006 was $6.5 million. Of this amount, $1.2 million will be derived from one $10.0 million contract with a related party. In relation to this contract, $9.0 million has been received, as of October 31, 2006, as a down payment at the signing of the

contract and completion of various contract milestones. The remaining amount of approximately $1.0 million will be received upon completion of outstanding contract milestones. We expect to fulfill the contract milestones and receive payments by January 31, 2007. In addition, sources of cash through April 2007 are expected to come from at least a portion of the scheduled installment payments of $505,000 due from the single customer as discussed in the previous paragraph. Additional cash is expected to be derived from the voting segment and spares revenue. Uses of cash will be for normal operating expenses and costs associated with contract execution.
Of the foregoing $6.5 million in expected net revenue to be recognized, approximately $4.2 million will be derived from the executed voting contracts. On February 26, 2006, we announced that our strategic partner, Election Systems & Software, Inc. (“ES&S”) has signed an agreement with Jackson County, Missouri and will use technology developed by ILTS’s wholly owned subsidiary, Unisyn Solutions, Inc. In addition, on May 1, 2006, we announced that ES&S has signed a contract with Los Angeles County to supply the Precinct Ballot Counters (“PBC”) and related software and services. In consideration of a profit sharing formula, ILTS granted 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.
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, 2007, 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, 2007. 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:

Investing and Financing Activities
During the six months ended October 31, 2005, we invested $137,000 in the construction of terminals to be used in the marketing of our technology in the voting industry. In addition, we capitalized an amount of $490,000 which represented costs incurred internally to create a computer software product utilizing our technology in the voting industry.
With respect to financing activities, payment of short-term note payable reduced our cash position by $52,000.
Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2006, there were no unused credit facilities. With respect to capital expenditures, we determined that the product for which software costs were being capitalized was technologically feasible as of June 14, 2005 and amortization commenced as of January 31, 2006.
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.
We are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates, principally exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Australian dollar. Due to the insignificant level of operating activities in our foreign subsidiary, we do not consider our existing foreign currency translation exposure to be material.
The balance sheet of our international subsidiary is translated into U.S. dollars and consolidated with our balance sheet at period end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates during the period. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency denominated assets are accounted for as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. Therefore,

27


Table of Contents

fluctuations from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may impact the foreign currency translation component of our reported shareholders’ equity.
We recorded foreign currency translation losses of $2,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, we recorded foreign currency translation gain of $6,000 and $13,000, respectively. The foreign currency translation losses and gains were accounted for as increases and decreases in the other accumulated comprehensive loss component of shareholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards 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 for uncertainty in tax positions by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
FIN48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to FASB Statement No. 109. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We believe the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” 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.

ITEM 3. 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 Acting Chief Executive Officer and Acting 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 Acting Chief Executive Officer and Acting 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 October 31, 2006. Based on the foregoing, our Acting Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2006.
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 October 31, 2006 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 to 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 provisions 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 begin to comply with the attestation requirements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008.
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.
