              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1995
                             (Thousands of dollars)


1.       In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, condensed
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
         present fairly the Registrant's financial position and results of
         operations at September 30, 1995 and for the three and nine months
         then ended.  The accounting policies followed by the Registrant are
         set forth in Note 1 to the Registrant's consolidated financial
         statements in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report which is
         incorporated by reference.

2.       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.

3.       Inventories - The current inventory balance at  September 30, 1995 is
         composed of raw materials and work in process totaling $8,343 and
         finished goods totaling $306.

4.       Papua New Guinea Lottery - In July 1995 the Registrant sold all
         interests in its Papua New Guinea ("PNG") lottery operations to the
         principal shareholders of the lottery licensee, The Lotto Pty. Ltd.,
         in return for $175 cash and a note of $1,525 to be paid in monthly
         installments of approximately $90 per month for a period of 17 months
         commencing in September 1995.  Additionally, the Registrant will
         receive a percentage of the annual gross lotto sales for an annual sum
         of $260, whichever is greater for a period of five years, provided
         that the additional sums shall not exceed $3,000.  The installment
         payments and the minimum percentage payments are secured by all
         lottery assets and the personal guarantees and indemnifications of all
         of the shareholders of The Lotto Pty. Ltd.  The Registrant's remaining
         investment in the PNG lottery is approximately $639 at September 30,
         1995 and is included in other current assets. The Registrant will not
         record any gain until the balance of the receivable has been
         collected.

5.       On November 6, 1995 the Registrant terminated its Russian lottery
         project after exhausting numerous financing and joint venture
         possibilities.  Accordingly, the Registrant increased a previously
         established reserve to include the write-off of its remaining
         investment in the project, a related reduction in its Russian work
         force and costs related to the unwinding of the Registrant's Russian
         lottery project.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations (Thousands of dollars)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, revenue decreased by
$1,745, or 30% as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  The
decrease reflects lower contract volume in 1995.  Cost of sales, as a
percentage of revenue was 113% (excluding a provision for unwinding the
Registrant's Russian lottery project) in 1995 compared to 1994's cost of sales
percentage of 78%.  The increase in cost of sales was primarily a result of
higher unfavorable manufacturing variances due to the low level of contract
volume, lower contract margins and after- market sales, and costs related to
the unwinding of the Registrant's Russian lottery project.

Engineering, research and development costs of  $517 in 1995 related
essentially to the development of software for the North American lottery
market, whereas the costs of $497 in 1994 were primarily attributable to the
development costs of  the DATAMARK Flipper.(TM)

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,828 from the same
period in 1994.  This increase was primarily the result of litigation costs and
costs associated with the proposed settlement of a shareholders' class action
lawsuit.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, revenue decreased by
$5,502, or 29% as compared to the same period in 1994.  This decrease reflects
lower contract volume in 1995.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue,
increased to 106% (excluding a provision for unwinding the Registrant's Russian
lottery project) for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, as
compared to 78% (excluding the $9,800 service contract write-offs and write
down) for the like period in 1994. The increase in cost of sales was primarily
a result of higher unfavorable manufacturing variances and costs related to the
Registrant's Russian lottery project, including the unwinding costs.

Engineering, research and development costs decreased $403, or 31% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the like period in 1994.
As explained above, 1995 costs were primarily attributable to the development
of software for the North American lottery market.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $2,822 from the same period
in 1994.  This increase was the result of litigation costs and costs associated
with the proposed settlement of a shareholders' class action lawsuit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Registrant's
working capital decreased $10,877 due primarily to additional investment made
in and costs related to the unwinding of the Registrant's Russian lottery
project and a provision for a settlement of shareholders' lawsuit.  Cash and
current receivables totaled $6,423 at September 30, 1995.  The Registrant
currently has a revolving line of credit which expires in August 1996.  No
borrowing against the line was outstanding at September 30, 1995.

         As of September 30, 1995, there were no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

Part II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         Shareholder Class Action Litigation - The Registrant and certain of
its officers and directors who are defendants in a shareholders' consolidated
class action litigation filed in June and July 1994, have agreed in principle
to a settlement with the law firm representing the plaintiffs. The proposed
settlement includes a cash payment and a number of authorized but unissued
common shares of the Registrant, and is subject to agreement by the
shareholders included in the class period and approval by the court.  The
Registrant has recorded a reserve for its obligations anticipated under the
proposed settlement, which includes an estimate of the value of the shares at
date of issuance as a current liability.

         ILTS v M. Kadirova - With respect to the action filed by the
Registrant against M. Kadirova and others, in the U.S. Federal District Court
in Florida and the subsequent counterclaim by Kadirova against the Registrant,
the court dismissed the actions, with prejudice, as to all parties in October
1995.

         James Walters v ILTS - On November 3, 1995, Mr. Walters, the former
chairman and president of the Registrant, who retired in 1994, filed an action
in the San Diego County Superior Court against the Registrant, its current
president, Frederick A. Brunn, a publishing company and an author alleging that
certain statements in a magazine article were slander per se by ILTS and Brunn
and libel by the  publishing company and the author, and that Mr. Walters
suffered an invasion of privacy by all defendants.  In addition, Mr. Walters
alleged that information in the Registrant's 1995 proxy statement relating to
Mr. Walters' compensation and retirement date was erroneous, resulting in two
other magazine articles publishing alleged incorrect information.  Mr. Walters
seeks general and special damages of $9 million and punitive damages. The
Registrant and Mr. Brunn deny all allegations in Mr. Walters' complaint and
will defend the litigation accordingly.
