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 3 months lead-time before
delivery of hardware begins. The Registrant has incurred significant net losses
for the last three years. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, revenues
were $1,377 and the Registrant incurred a net loss of $1,124.
At March 31, 1999, the Registrant had working capital of $926. 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. This maintenance
agreement expires in January 2000, although the customer has the option to
extend the agreement for an additional six months. In October 1998, the
Australian lottery customer, as a result of a competitive bid, awarded the
lottery contract to a competitor of the Registrant.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
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 of 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.

INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY & TOTALIZATOR SYSTEMS, INC.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Product sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased by 38% or $491,
versus the first quarter of fiscal 1998. This is primarily the result of lower
contract revenues in the 1999 first quarter compared to the 1998 first quarter.
Service revenues increased 8%, or $42 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This
increase is primarily the result of a price increase, effective January 1,1999,
on the Australian terminal maintenance agreement.
The gross profit on first quarter product sales was 9% in 1999, compared with
11% in 1998. The decrease in gross profit percentage was due to the low volume
of contracts to absorb the fixed manufacturing costs . The gross profit on first
quarter service revenues was 32% in 1999 compared to 28% in 1998. The increase
in services gross profit is a result of the price increase described above.
Engineering, research and development expenses in the first quarter of 1999
decreased 57% or $309 compared to the first quarter of 1998. The reduction is
primarily the result of reduced level of staffing and current efforts more
directed to specific customer projects rather than generic DataTrak software
development. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 12%, or
$150, for the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998. This
decrease was primarily the result of a lower level of staffing in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Registrant consumed approximately
$371 of cash, although the loss in the quarter was $1,124. The loss was
essentially funded out of working capital. The Registrant's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the three months
ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1999, the Registrant
had working capital of $926. Management recognizes that the Registrant must
generate additional contract sales to maintain its current level of operations.
The Registrant's largest shareholder, Berjaya, has agreed to provide a line of
credit of 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.
As of March 31, 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 has
filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court, which has
affirmed the appellate court decision. Trial has been set to begin January 14,
2000. Settlement negotiations have begun.
