              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1996
                             (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 March 31, 1996 and for the three 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 1995 Annual Report which is incorporated by reference.

2.       The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
         1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
         the full year.

3.       Inventories - The current inventory balance at March 31, 1996 is
         composed entirely of raw materials and work in process totaling $5,087.

4.       McKinnie & Associates, Inc. - In March 1993, the Registrant sold
         its subsidiary, McKinnie & Associates, Inc. to Shreveport Acquisition
         for cash and a note. Unrecorded gain and interest of $1,300 will be
         recognized using the cost recovery method as payments are received.

5.       Papua New Guinea Lottery - In July 1995, the Registrant sold all
         interests in its Papua New Guinea lottery operation to the principal
         shareholders of the lottery licensee for cash and a note. The
         Registrant is accounting for the sale under the cost recovery method.
         The installment payments and the minimum percentage payments are
         secured by the lottery assets and certain personal guarantees. The
         Registrant's remaining investment in the Papua New Guinea lottery at
         March 31, 1996 is approximately $182 and is included in other assets.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 revenue increased 30.9% compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1995. This increase in revenue reflected a higher volume
of contract business in 1996. Management does not believe that a similar
increase in revenues will occur in the second quarter of 1996 over the second
quarter of 1995. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased 24% in 1996
to 70% from 94% in 1995. The decrease in cost of sales percentage was primarily
due to the lack of Russian lottery project expenses and cost-saving measures.
Engineering, research and development costs increased to $320 in 1996 from $99
in 1995. The 1996 costs were primarily related to the development of software
for lottery markets. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$116 from the prior year due to lower staffing levels in 1996 which offset
higher proposal costs associated with the pursuit of new business. The deferred
gain on the sale of a subsidiary and interest income generated net income for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Registrant's working capital
decreased by $121. Cash and current receivable balances totaled approximately
$5,262 at March 31, 1996 compared to $5,492 at December 31, 1995. A substantial
amount of total current liabilities reflects a provision for the estimated value
of a number of authorized but unissued common shares of the Registrant to be
issued in accordance with the settlement of a shareholder class action
litigation. There were no bank borrowings at March 31, 1996.

As of March 31, 1996 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, which has been placed in the class
shareholders' escrow account, and a number of authorized but unissued common
shares of the Registrant, and is subject to agreement by the class shareholders
and approval by the court. The Registrant has recorded a provision for the
estimated value of the shares at date of issuance as a current liability.

         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. Since the outcome of the case is not expected
to result in any liability to the Registrant, no provision for any liability
that may result has been included in the consolidated financial statements.
