NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
($ in thousands)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements incorporated by reference in
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998.

On June 12, 1998, a three-for-one reverse stock split was effected, as approved
by the Registrant's Shareholders at the Annual Meeting on June 1, 1998. All
share and per share data presented in the accompanying financial statements and
footnotes to the number of shares and earnings per share have been presented to
reflect the result of the three-for-one reverse stock split.

The Registrant's consolidated financial statements were prepared on a continuing
operations basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement
of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Registrant
is largely dependent upon significant contracts for its revenue which typically
include a deposit upon contract signing and up to three months lead-time before
delivery of hardware begins. The Registrant has incurred significant net losses
for the last three years. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, revenues
were $3,145 and the Registrant incurred a net loss of $1,682.

At June 30, 1999, the Registrant had working capital of $442. Management
recognizes that the Registrant must recover its investment in existing contracts
and generate additional contract sales to maintain its current level of
operations. Additionally, management is currently seeking additional sources of
funding through debt or equity financing and consideration of other business
transactions.

Historically, approximately $1.6 million of the Registrant's annual revenues or
70% of Registrant's annual service revenues have been derived from a terminal
maintenance agreement with an Australian lottery customer. In October 1998, the
Australian lottery customer, as a result of a competitive bid, awarded this
contract to a competitor of the Registrant. This maintenance agreement expires
in January 2000 although the customer has the option to extend the agreement for
an additional six months.

Management anticipates that it will be successful in recovering its investment
in existing contracts and obtaining sufficient contracts to enable the
Registrant to continue normal operations; however, no assurances can be given
that the Registrant will be successful in realizing sufficient new contract
revenues or obtaining additional financing. If the Registrant is unable to
recover its investment in existing contracts, obtain sufficient new contract
revenue or financing, management will be required to reduce the Registrant's
operations.

Berjaya, the Registrant's largest shareholder, has agreed to provide a line of
credit up to $4.0 million to meet the Registrant's cash needs for operations
through at least June 30, 2000. The Registrant's ability to continue its
on-going operations on a long-term basis is dependent upon its ability to
recover its investment in existing contracts, obtain additional financing,
secure additional new contracts, and ultimately achieve a sustainable level of
profit from operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS ($ in thousands)

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements in this filing which are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements that 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 the absence of significant
contract backlog, the 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 the
Registrant's products are marketed, fluctuations in quarter-by-quarter operating
results and other factors described in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased 50%, or $1,171,
versus the second quarter of fiscal 1998. This was due to the lack of terminal
shipments and new contracts signed in the second quarter of 1999 compared to
1998. Service revenues increased 4%, or $22, over the quarter ended June 30,
1998. This improvement was the result of a price increase on the Australian
terminal maintenance agreement and a more favorable exchange rate partially
offset by fewer customer support projects than in 1998.

The gross profit on second quarter product sales was 30% in 1999, compared with
54% in 1998. The decreased gross profit percentage was a result of lower
contract revenues in 1999 and reduced manufacturing efficiencies due to lower
production volume compared to 1998. The gross profit on second quarter service
revenues was 38% in 1999 compared to 23% in 1998. The increase in services gross
profit was due to a higher billing rate for a service support agreement and the
price increase described above.

Engineering, research and development expenses in the second quarter of 1999
decreased 13% to $397 from $459 in the second quarter of 1998. The reduction was
the result of efforts being directed to specific customer projects and reduced
staffing. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 42%, or
$726, for the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998.
This decrease was the result of a lower level of staffing.

Product sales in the first six months of fiscal 1999 decreased 46%, or $1,662,
from the same period in 1998. This was the result of fewer contracts and
shipments in 1999 as compared to 1998. Service revenues increased 6%, or $64, to
$1,157 from $1,093 which was primarily the result of the price increase on the
Australian maintenance agreement as described above.

The gross profit on product sales was 21% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to 39% in 1998. The decrease in the 1999 gross profit percentage was
due to the low volume of contracts to absorb the fixed manufacturing costs
compared to 1998 where sales of earlier model terminals which had been fully
reserved reduced production related expenses. The gross profit on services was
35% in 1999 compared to 25% for the same six-month period in 1998. The increase
in services gross profit resulted from the price increases mentioned above.

Engineering, research and development expenses for the first six months of 1999
decreased $371, or 37%, to $627 as compared to $998 for the same period in 1998.
Costs were reduced from 1998 due to staff reductions and efforts directed toward
specific customer projects. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased
by $876, or 29%, for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the
same period in 1998. This decrease resulted from the lower level of staffing in
1999. Other income and expense, net, increased $73, or 42%. The increase
primarily related to the recovery of costs associated with the Arizona Lottery
bid effort.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Registrant consumed approximately
$515 of cash, although the loss in the quarter was $558. The loss was
essentially funded out of working capital. The Registrant's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six months
ended June 30, 1999 have been prepared on a continuing operations basis which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. At June 30, 1999, the Registrant
had working capital of $442. Management recognizes that the Registrant must
generate additional contract sales to maintain its current level of operations.

Additionally, management is currently seeking additional sources of funding
through debt or equity financing and consideration of other business
transactions. Management anticipates that it will be successful in obtaining
sufficient contracts to enable the Registrant to continue normal operations;
however, no assurances can be given that the Registrant will be successful in
realizing sufficient contract revenue or obtaining additional funding. If the
Registrant is unable to obtain sufficient contract revenue or funding,
management will be required to reduce the Registrant's operations.

The Registrant's largest shareholder, Berjaya, has agreed to provide financial
support if and when necessary to ensure that the Registrant's operations
continue through at least June 30, 2000. The Registrant's ability to continue
its on-going operations on a long-term basis is dependent upon its ability to
recover its investment in existing contracts, obtain additional financing,
secure additional new contracts and ultimately achieve a sustainable level of
profit from operations.

As of June 30, 1999 there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Registrant intends to strategically pursue long-term service contracts as a
source of revenue. Service contracts pose capital investment risks for the
Registrant that do not exist in its product sale business. Service contracts
require up-front investments of capital which is repaid only after a system
becomes operational, based upon a percentage of the customer's gross receipts
from the system. The Registrant, therefore, bears the risk that scheduling
delays may occur, a system may not become operational or that the customer's
gross receipts from the system may be less than projected. If the Registrant
enters into a long-term service contract, the Registrant must seek the funds
necessary to implement the project from Berjaya or other sources.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE FLUCTUATION

The Registrant's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Historically, a majority
of the Registrant's sales have been denominated in U.S. dollars, with the
balance denominated in foreign currencies. These foreign currency sales have
been effected principally by the Registrant's international subsidiaries.
Changes from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between
various foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar have had, and will in the future
continue to have, an impact on revenues and expenses reported by the Registrant,
and such effect may be material in any individual reporting period. As the
contracts are predominantly denominated in the functional currency of the
subsidiary performing under the contract, the Registrant has historically
incurred immaterial amounts of transaction gains or losses.

ASIA

A significant portion of the Registrant's revenues are derived from customers
located in Asia. In the last 24 months the currencies of the Asian countries in
which the Registrant's customers are located have declined significantly against
the U.S. dollar. Although the Registrant generally has been paid in U.S.
dollars, this decline has effectively increased the cost of the Registrant's
products to its customers. The Registrant does not believe that its on-going
business has been negatively impacted by the Asian currency exchange situation,
however, one current customer has asked, and the Registrant has agreed, to delay
to a later undefined date the scheduled delivery of terminals which will result
in the delay of ILTS revenues and cash receipts of approximately $1 million.

YEAR 2000

Management has initiated an enterprise-wide program to prepare the Registrant's
computer systems and applications for the Year 2000. The Registrant expects to
incur internal staff costs as well as other expenses related to infrastructure
and facilities enhancements necessary to prepare the systems for the Year 2000.
The Registrant has evaluated the effort required and believes that the related
costs will be immaterial and will be expensed as incurred. In addition, the
Registrant has reviewed the software systems and hardware it has previously sold
and determined they are Year 2000 compliant.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Walters v ILTS - On November 3, 1995, Mr. James T. Walters, the former chairman
and president of the Registrant, who retired in 1994, filed a defamation and
invasion of privacy action in the San Diego County Superior Court against the
Registrant, its former president, Frederick A. Brunn and other parties, relating
to statements in a magazine article. The other parties previously settled with
Mr. Walters. Mr. Walters sought general and special damages of $9 million and
punitive damages. On November 20, 1998, the California Court of Appeal (Fourth
District) substantially reversed the summary judgement of the superior court
awarded the Registrant on November 1, 1996, and the appellate court returned the
case to the superior court for trial on the defamation claim. The Registrant
filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court, which affirmed
the appellate court decision. Trial has been set to begin January 14, 2000.
Settlement negotiations have begun.
