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.

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 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 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.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ILTS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unisyn.  All significant intercompany 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 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-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 filed with the SEC on July 6, 2012.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2012 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
 
Deferred revenues of approximately $651,000 as of October 31, 2012 represent prepayments for products and services related to the use of the OpenElect® and PBC voting systems, and other software and technical support services.  The Company will recognize the revenues upon the fulfillment of the prescribed criteria for revenue recognition.
 
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, 2012 is as follows:

Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method for financial reporting of income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Any changes in tax rates or laws are recognized in the period when such changes are enacted.  Valuation allowances have been established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when uncertainty exists regarding the realizability of the deferred tax assets.
 
The provision for income taxes was $23,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012.  The effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances and net operating loss carry forwards.  
 
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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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.  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, 2012.

Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenues are derived primarily from the sales of complete wagering systems, lottery terminals, the OpenElect® and PBC voting systems, other software and software support services.  We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable.  Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and the title and risk of loss have been transferred.  Service revenues are recognized as the services are rendered, and the related costs of services are recognized on a time and materials basis.
 
Revenue Recognition for Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
 
For multi-element arrangements that include hardware products containing software essential to the hardware product’s functionality, undelivered software elements that relate to the hardware product’s essential software, and undelivered non-software services, we allocate revenue to all deliverables based on their relative selling prices.  In such circumstances, we use a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“ESP”).  VSOE generally exists only when we sell the deliverable separately and VSOE is the price actually charged for that deliverable.  TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately.  ESPs reflect our best estimates of what the selling prices of elements would be if they were sold regularly on a standalone basis.  
 
For sales of hardware products, we provide various hardware components containing software essential to the hardware product’s functionality, and other components depending on the customers’ needs.  We allocate revenue to these deliverables using the relative selling price method.  Because we have not established VSOE or TPE for the hardware, revenue is allocated based on ESPs.  Determining ESPs requires management’s judgment.  Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the hardware and the related essential software, provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.  We also provide software support and product support services on a standalone basis from the sales of the hardware.  Amounts allocated to software support and product support services are based on VSOE using hourly or daily billing rates.  Revenue is deferred until the services are performed.  For annual software licenses, we use VSOE.  Amounts allocated to annual software licenses are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is typically one year.

We consider multiple factors depending on the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable when determining ESPs for deliverables without VSOE or TPE.  Key factors considered by the management in developing the ESPs for the hardware include the costs of manufacture and what a customer would reasonably pay based on the features being offered, trends in the market, size of the territory, and competitive prices.  If the facts and circumstances underlying the factors change, including the estimated or actual costs incurred to provide the hardware with the essential software, or should future facts and circumstances lead the management to consider additional factors, our ESP for the hardware with essential software related to future sales could change.
 
Revenue Recognition for Percentage-of-Completion Method
 
For our complete wagering and lottery 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.

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, 2012 was approximately $1.7 million, compared to $1.5 million for the corresponding period in 2011.  The increase was primarily due to the increased contract activities for the gaming and voting segments, partially offset by the absence of turnkey lottery system sales compared to the corresponding period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, contract revenue was approximately $4.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the corresponding period in 2011.  The significant increase in contract revenue was primarily due to the increased contract activities for the gaming and voting segments.

Spares revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2012 remained relatively constant at $174,000, compared to $169,000 for the same period in 2011.  Spares revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2012 was $476,000, compared to $283,000 for the corresponding period in 2011.  The increase was primarily due to higher demand for spare parts from unrelated customers in the gaming and voting segments.  Customers’ demand for spare parts fluctuates from period to period.

Licensing revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was $178,000, compared to $73,000 in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, licensing revenue was $227,000, compared to $113,000 for the corresponding period in 2011.  The higher licensing revenues were primarily due to the additional executed contracts related to the voting segment.  We derive licensing revenue from voting and lottery contracts.

Software support revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was $198,000, compared to $191,000 for the same period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, software support revenue was $399,000, compared to $383,000 in the same period in 2011.  The slight increase was primarily due to higher fees charged to customers.

Product servicing and support revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2012 was $152,000, compared to $60,000 for the corresponding period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, product servicing and support revenue was $228,000, compared to $156,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The increases were primarily due to higher demand for support services from an unrelated customer in the gaming segment, partially offset by lower demand for support services from unrelated customers in the voting segment.

Related party revenue of approximately $909,000 accounted for 38% of total revenue in the three months ended October 31, 2012, compared to $1.3 million or 66% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, related party revenue of approximately $3.1 million accounted for 54% of total revenue, compared to $1.5 million or 59% of total revenue in the corresponding period in 2011.

In general, individual contracts are significant in value and certain contracts 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 margin was 47% for the three months ended October 31, 2012, compared to 29% for the corresponding period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, overall gross profit margin was 46% compared to 17% for the corresponding period in 2011.  Significantly higher gross profit margins were primarily due to increased contract activities and lower production overhead costs, partially offset by slightly higher support service costs. 
 
Research and Development Expenses

We did not incur any research and development expenses ("R&D") for the three and six months ended October 31, 2012.  For the three and six months ended October 31, 2011, R&D expenses were $24,000.  While we continue to enhance our products, we anticipate that R&D expenses will be very minimal, if any, in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2013 as we dedicate our efforts to the marketing and sale of new voting systems.

Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2012 were $644,000, compared to $689,000 in the same period in 2011.  For the six months ended October 31, 2012, SG&A expenses were $1.2 million, compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding period in 2011.  The slight decreases in SG&A expenses were primarily related to lower expenses incurred in proposal activities for the voting segment, partially offset by higher personnel costs associated with increased headcount and higher expenses incurred in marketing activities for the voting and gaming segments.  We anticipate that SG&A expense will remain relatively constant in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2013.

Other Income
 
Other income in the three and six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 remained relatively insignificant.
 
Income Tax Provision
 
The provision for income taxes was $23,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012.  The effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances and net operating loss carry forwards.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Liquidity
 
Our net working capital as of October 31, 2012 was approximately $6.1 million.

Contract backlog as of October 31, 2012 was approximately $2.2 million.  Of this amount, approximately $863,000 will be derived from a gaming contract executed with a related customer.  The remaining contract backlog amount of approximately $1.3 million is related to the gaming and voting contracts with unrelated customers.

Additional sources of cash through October 31, 2013 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, 2013, 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, 2013.  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.

Cash Flow Analysis

Our operating cash flow primarily depends on the timing and amount of cash receipts from our customers, inventory purchases and payments for operating expenses.

Our net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $593,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012, compared to the net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.3 million for the same period in 2011.  The primary factors contributing to the variability in the reported cash flow amounts relate to the net income of approximately $1.4 million in 2012 compared to the net loss of $895,000 in 2011.  In addition, the timing of customer contract performance and the related milestone invoicing impacted the accounts receivable balance, the cost and earnings in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, and settlement of vendor invoices related to inventory purchases attributed to the variability in the reported cash flow amounts.  Furthermore, the change in inventories contributed to the variability in the reported cash flow amounts.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $75,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012, compared to the net cash used in investing activities of $65,000 in 2011.  The higher net cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended October 31, 2012 was primarily due to the redemption of a certificate of deposit, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures compared to the same period in 2011.  Higher capital expenditures in 2012 were related to the purchase of voting rental and computer equipment.

There were no financing activities during the six months ended October 31, 2012 or 2011.

Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2012, we did not have outstanding credit facilities.
