Item 2.  Disposition of Assets.

On July 21, 2000, eLOT, Inc. (the Registrant) sold most of the assets of its
Healthcare Communications Division to Grinnell Corporation and ADT Services AG.
The consideration for the transferred assets was $5 million in cash, an
additional $1 million to be paid in 90 days subject to closing adjustments based
on the July 21, 2000 balance sheet of the business acquired, and the assumption
of certain liabilities of the business, principally customer and distributor
contracts, leases, trade payables and employee severance obligations incurred in
connection with the acquisition.


Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b)      Pro forma financial information

The sale of the Healthcare Communications Division ("Division") represents a
material event. The Division has been accounted for as a discontinued operation
in the historical consolidated financial statements of eLOT, Inc. beginning in
the fourth quarter of 1999. Accordingly, the Registrant's historical
Consolidated Statement of Operations fully reflects the disposition of the
Division for pro forma purposes for all periods presented. The pro forma impact
of this disposition on the Registrant's March 31, 2000 Consolidated Balance
Sheet can be explained as follows:

-    Cash and Cash equivalents would be increased by $6 million to reflect the
     receipt of the cash proceeds from the sale.

-    Net assets of discontinued operations would be decreased by $9.5 million
     from $17.0 million to $7.5 million to reflect the removal of the net assets
     of the Division from the Balance Sheet as a result of the sale.

-    Accumulated Deficit would be increased by $3.5 million from $22.6 million
     to $26.1 million to reflect the additional loss realized upon the sale of
     the Division.
