                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1)   Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1995 and the consolidated
statements of operations for the three and six month period ended April 30, 1995
and 1994, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months then
ended have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at April 30, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's October 31, 1994 Annual Report on form 10-K. The results of
operations for the period ended April 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full year.

2)   Restatement

     The Company has restated its interim financial results for the first,
second and third quarters of fiscal 1994. The restatement relates principally
to: (i) inclusion in wagering equipment operating expenses in the third quarter
of $5.9 million out of a total of $7.5 million non-tax deductible payment in
1994 made to former Tele Control Group stockholders pursuant to contingent
payment provisions in the Tele Control Group acquisition agreement as a result
of the award of certain lottery contracts to the Tele Control Group in the third
quarter, (ii) an annualized increase of $5.3 million in amortization and
depreciation as a result of the final review of the allocation of purchase price
and the useful life of goodwill and certain other assets, recorded in connection
with the 1993 acquisitions of the Tele Control Group, the ETAG Group, Autotote
Lottery and the right to operate the Connecticut OTB (the "1993 Acquisitions");
(iii) $3.3 million in corrections consisting of inventory, equipment and
contract adjustments resulting in charges to the financial statements delivered
by the sellers in connection with the Company's acquisition on July 20, 1994 of
Marvin H. Sugarman Productions, Inc., and Racing Technology, Inc., for periods
prior to the acquisition; and other factors.

3)   Acquisitions

     In January 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
the Simulcast Division of LDDS Corporation (formerly IDB Communications Group
Inc.) ("IDB") and the rights and obligations under leases relating to eight C-
band satellite transponders for a purchase price of $13.7 million in cash. The
acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based
on


                                       7
<PAGE>
 
3)   Acquisitions (contd.)

preliminary estimates of fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess of
the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was
$2.6 million and has been recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized over 5
years.
     In November 1994, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of the
holding company of SEPMO S.A., ("SEPMO"), a French supplier of wagering systems
and services to the French off-track betting network and other customers for
$2.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of fair values
at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated
fair values of the net assets acquired was $1.3 million and has been recorded as
goodwill, which will be amortized over 5 years.

     The operating results of these acquisition are included in the Company's
consolidated results of operations from the date of the acquisitions.

5)   Debt

     The Company has classified $125.4 million of its senior bank credit
facility as a current liability as of April 30, 1995, since the Company was in
violation of certain financial covenants as of that date. The Company received a
waiver from its bank group, effective May 26, 1995, which waives these covenant
violations through July 14, 1995. The Company is engaged in active discussions
with its bank group to address ongoing compliance with the senior bank credit
facility and to address future financing needs and alternatives.

6)   Litigation

     As stated in the 10-K, the Company and certain of its officers and
directors have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits commenced in
February 1995 as class actions in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware. The putative classes consist of


                                       8
<PAGE>
 
6)   Litigation (contd.)

purchasers of Class A Common Stock and put and call options between March 1994
and January 1995. The complaints allege that the Company and certain of its
officers and directors violated the federal securities laws and seek remedies of
unspecified monetary damages and awards of fees and expenses. All parties to the
actions have agreed to consolidate the litigations in the United states District
Court in the District of Delaware by jointly submitting a proposed Pre-Trial
Order for consolidation. The likelihood of success and the ultimate outcome of
the consolidated litigation cannot be evaluated before the Consolidated
Complaint is filed, and no provisions for liability, if any, that may result
from the consolidated litigation has been recognized in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

7)   Subsequent Events

     On June 8, 1995 the Company announced that it had exercised its right to
withdraw from a preliminary agreement dated December 30, 1994 with Elettronica
S.p.A. and Elettronica Ingegneria Sistemi S.p.A. (EIS) of Rome, Italy to acquire
an 87.8% interest in certain gaming and information technology assets of EIS.
EIS has been a distributor of Autotote Systems, terminals and related equipment
in Italy and other countries for over 15 years. The Company expects this
business relationship to continue.

     The Company entered into an agreement, effective May 26,1995, whereby the
Company's bank group has agreed to waive compliance with certain financial
covenants through July 14, 1995. As a result, the Company is currently in full
compliance with all applicable covenants.

     The Company is in the process of critically evaluating its business
strategies, including manufacturing operations, marketing and product
development programs, geographic reach, and product lines. The Company
preliminary anticipates that its business will be significantly restructured and
streamlined, and that support for certain of its products, systems and
operations will be rationalized. As a result, the Company also anticipates that
there will be a reduction of its employee work force worldwide, closure of
facilities, and a related write-down in the carrying value of various assets. On
a preliminary basis, a total loss provision for the implementation of these
actions and various asset write downs could amount to between $17 million and
$23 million in the Company's third quarter 1995 results. This estimated loss
includes up to $3.3 million relating to contracts to sell video gaming machines
for operations in Mexico.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

     The following discussion addresses the financial condition of the Company
as of April 30, 1995 and the results of operations for the three and six months
period ended April 30, 1995, compared to the same periods last year. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis section (pages 22 - 32) for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Restatement

     The Company has restated its interim financial results for the first,
second and third quarters of fiscal 1994. The restatement relates principally
to: (I) inclusion in wagering equipment operating expenses in the third quarter
of $5.9 million out of a total of $7.5 million non-tax deductible payment in
1994 made to former Tele Control Group stockholders pursuant to contingent
payment provisions in the Tele Control Group acquisition agreement as a result
of the award of certain lottery contracts to the Tele control Group in the third
quarter, (ii) an annualized increase of $5.3 million in amortization and
depreciation as a result of the final review of the allocation of purchase price
and the useful life of goodwill and certain other assets, recorded in connection
with the 1993 acquisitions of the Tele Control Group, the ETAG Group, Autotote
Lottery and the right to operate the Connecticut OTB (the "1993 Acquisitions");
(iii) $3.3 million in corrections consisting of inventory, equipment and
contract adjustments resulting in charges to the financial statements delivered
by the sellers in connection with the Company's acquisition on July 20, 1994 of
Marvin H. Sugarman Productions, Inc., and Racing Technology, Inc., for periods
prior to the acquisition; and other factors.


Second Quarter Fiscal 1995 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal 1994

     Revenue Analysis

     Revenues decreased 3% or $1.3 million to $37.1 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 from $38.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
The decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in wagering equipment and
other sales of $8.7 million, largely reflecting an $7.4 million sale in the
second quarter of 1994 of MAX 2000 terminals to Italy's TOTIP pool.  Offsetting
this decline was improvement in wagering system revenues of $7.4 million
reflecting strong performances in the Company's off-track betting franchise in
Connecticut and significant growth in simulcasting revenues as a result of the
first quarter 1995 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the
Simulcast Division of LDDS Corporation (formerly the IDB Communications Group,
Inc.) ("IDB").  Also, included in second quarter 1995 results are $2.0 million
in wagering system revenue and $1.4 million in wagering equipment and other
sales attributable to the Company's first quarter 1995 acquisition of a French
pari-mutuel concern ("SEPMO").




                                       10
<PAGE>
 
     Expense Analysis

     Total gross margin improved $0.8 million, or 6% to $15 million in the
second quarter of 1995.  Excluding a fiscal 1994 charge of $2.6 million for
inventory, equipment and contract adjustments relating to simulcasting
operations, gross margin decreased $1.8 million.  Accounting for the decrease
was a 1994 gross margin of $3.6 million relating to the sale of MAX 2000
terminals to Italy's TOTIP pool partially offset by the inclusion in 1995 second
quarter of $1.9 million attributable to SEPMO.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 86% to $9.9 million
in the second quarter of 1995 compared to $5.3 million in the second quarter of
1994.  The increase in SG&A expense included $1.2 million attributable to the
operations of SEPMO and  increased expenses for market development, legal and
other professional fees.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 45% to $8.8 million in the
second quarter of 1995 compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1994.  The increased depreciation and amortization was primarily due to fiscal
1994 capital additions for North American pari-mutuel and video gaming
operations, and the first quarter 1995 acquisitions of SEPMO and the
simulcasting assets of IDB.

     Interest expense increased $3.0 million to $4.3 million in the second
quarter of 1995 compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994,
principally reflecting increased borrowings to finance 1994 capital additions in
North American pari-mutuel and video gaming operations, acquisitions, $0.7
million in 1995 costs to procure a waiver of certain financial covenant
violations of the Company's senior bank credit facility agreement, and the
capitalization of certain 1994 interest in connection with capital projects.


Six Months Ended April 30, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended April 30, 1994

     Revenue Analysis

     Revenues increased 2% or $1.5 million to $68.2 million in fiscal 1995 from
$66.7 million in the prior year period.  Wagering system revenues increased
$15.2 million or 34% to $60.4 million, compared to $45.2 million in the prior
year period.  The wagering systems revenues increase reflected continued
improvements in the Company's North American pari-mutuel and off-track betting
businesses; significant growth in simulcasting operations, largely reflecting
the 1995 IDB acquisition; and increased revenues for the Company's European
lottery operations.  Offsetting this improvement was a decline in wagering
equipment and other sales of $13.7 million to $7.8 million, reflecting the
absence of 1994 revenues of $13.2 million relating to the sale of MAX 2000
terminals to Italy's TOTIP pool.   Included in the six month 1995 results were
$3.8 million in wagering systems revenues and $2.2 million in wagering equipment
and other sales attributable to the Company's first quarter 1995 acquisition of
a French pari-mutuel concern ("SEPMO").



                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     Expense Analysis

     Total gross margin increased $2.4 million, or 10% to $27.8 million in
fiscal 1995 as compared to $25.4 million in the prior year period.  Excluding
1994  charges of $2.7 million for  inventory, equipment and contract adjustments
relating to simulcasting operations, total gross margin declined $0.3 million
reflecting the inclusion in 1994 of $5.3 million attributable to the sale of MAX
2000 terminals largely offset  by 1995 gross margin of $3.1 million attributable
to SEPMO and an increase in simulcasting gross margin of $1.3 million.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 77% to $17.6 million
in the 1995 period compared to $9.9 million in the prior year period.  The
increase in SG&A expense included $2.0 million attributable to the operations of
SEPMO and increased expenses for market development, legal and other
professional fees.

     Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 48% to $16.5 million in
the 1995 period compared to $11.2 million in the 1994 period.  The increased
depreciation and amortization was primarily due to capital additions for North
American pari-mutuel and video gaming operations, and the first quarter 1995
acquisitions of SEPMO and the simulcasting assets of IDB.

     Interest expense increased $4.6 million to $7.2 million in the 1995 period
compared to $2.6 million in fiscal 1994, principally reflecting increased
borrowings to finance capital additions in North American wagering businesses,
acquisitions, $0.7 million in 1995 costs to procure a waiver of certain
financial covenant violations of the Company's senior bank credit facility
agreement, and the capitalization of certain 1994 interest in connection with
capital projects.

     Income Taxes

     Income tax expense was $1.3 million in the 1995 period as compared to $0.1
million in the 1994 period.  Income tax expense for the 1995 period principally
reflects foreign tax expense.  No tax benefit has been recognized on domestic
operating losses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's wagering system contracts are capital intensive, requiring
substantial initial cash outlays which are recouped over time from cash flows
from the contracts. New lottery contracts would also require substantial initial
cash outlays. The amounts of the Company's future capital expenditures for
wagering systems equipment and lottery equipment will depend on the Company's
ability to enter into service contracts with new customers and renewal of
existing contracts with systems upgrades. Each new customer may require the
manufacture and assembly of a new wagering system unless the dates of operations
and requirements of a new wagering facility allow an existing system to be used
at such facility. New lottery service contracts generally will require the
manufacture and



                                       12
<PAGE>
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources  (contd.)

assembly of new systems. Under some circumstances, the Company may be required
to begin manufacture of wagering systems prior to award of a contract in a
competitive bidding situation. Expenditures related to the sale of the Company's
wagering equipment are generally funded, in part, by customer advance payments.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $9.1 million for the six
months of fiscal 1995 and was primarily attributable to improved collection of
accounts receivable and timing of certain payments, partially offset by
increases in inventories. At April 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $7.6 million as compared to $6.7 million at October 31, 1994.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $34.4 million for the six months
of 1995. With proceeds from the senior bank credit facility, the Company
acquired for $13.7 million, substantially all of the assets of IDB and the
rights and obligations under leases relating to eight C-Band satellite
transponders. The Company invested $8.2 million in capital expenditures, of
which $1.9 million represents the construction of facilities in Las Vegas and
$5.1 million represents expenditures related to its simulcasting facility
located in New Haven, Connecticut. Approximately $2.3 million was invested to
acquire the holding company of SEPMO S.A., a supplier of wagering systems
and services to the French off-track betting network and other customers.

     Net cash provided by financing activities consisted principally of
borrowings of $25.5 million from the senior bank credit facility, of which $13.5
million was used to purchase substantially all of the assets of IDB and the
rights and obligations under leases relating to eight C-Band satellite
transponders. At April 30, 1995, the unused portion of the Company's senior bank
credit facility was $7.8 million. The Company received a waiver from its bank
group, effective May 26, 1995, which waives covenant violations through July 14,
1995. The Company is engaged in active discussions with its bank group to
address ongoing compliance with the senior bank credit facility and to address
future financing alternatives.

     In fiscal 1995, the Company has bid on an upcoming lottery contract in
North America. This contract and any additional North American lottery, OTB
privatization, or start-up awards received by the Company would be capital
intensive, requiring substantial initial cash outlays. The Company believes that
additional sources of capital will be required to satisfy these potential
capital needs and its anticipated capital needs arising from current
commitments. The Company is currently exploring financing alternatives to meet
its capital requirements while simultaneously developing programs to reduce its
level of ongoing expenditures. The Company will be required to evaluate its
capital outlays and commitments in light of the availability and timing of
additional financing, which currently remains uncertain.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

 
Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

     The Company and certain of its officers and directors have been named
defendants in a number of lawsuits commenced in February 1995 as class actions
in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The putative
classes consist of purchasers of Class A Common Stock and put and call options
between March 1994 and January, 1995. The complaints allege that the Company and
certain of its officers and directors violated the federal securities laws and
seek remedies of unspecified monetary damages and awards of fees and expenses.
All parties to the actions have agreed to consolidate the litigations in the
United states District Court in the District of Delaware by jointly submitting a
proposed Pre-Trial Order for consolidation, pursuant to which a consolidated
complaint is to be filed. The likelihood of success and the ultimate outcome of
the consolidated litigation cannot be evaluated before the Consolidated
Complaint is filed.
 
Item 5.    Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder matters

also comply with such rules as may be prescribed from time to time by the
Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proposals of security holders.
