ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED
1 February 1997
REGISTERED NUMBER:
2822203
<PAGE>
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE ACCOUNTS
Camelot Group plc has a financial year end of 31 March and prepares its annual
report and accounts for that period to comply with the Companies Act 1985. These
accounts have been prepared specifically to enable GTECH Corporation, an
ultimate shareholder in the company, to prepare its own consolidated financial
statements and do not represent the results of the company for its own financial
year or the company's statutory financial statements. In preparing these
accounts, the directors are required to:
(1) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
(2) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
(3) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject
to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
(4) prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the group will continue in business.
The directors are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
group and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies
Act 1985. They are also responsible for taking reasonable steps to safeguard the
assets of the group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The directors confirm that they have complied with these requirements, and,
having a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, have adopted the
going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND
The establishment of the UK National Lottery was enabled by the passing of The
National Lottery etc. Act 1993. A regulator, the Director General of The
National Lottery, was appointed under the Act and invited applications for a
licence to run The National Lottery (the section 5 licence) and for licences to
promote lottery games as part of The National Lottery (section 6 licences).
Following a highly competitive tendering process, Camelot was informed of its
success on 25 May 1994 and the section 5 licence was formally awarded on 29 July
1994. Camelot has also been awarded a section 6 licence for the on-line National
Lottery game and a number of section 6 licences for the Instant games. The
section 5 licence expires on 30 September 2001 and the section 6 licences are of
varying lengths depending on the games.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Camelot Group plc
We have audited the financial statements and financial schedules of Camelot
Group plc on pages 3 to 19 which are expressed in pounds sterling. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United Kingdom and the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Camelot Group plc at
1 February 1997 and 3 February 1996 and the results of its operations, total
recognised gains and losses and cash flows for the years ended 1 February 1997
and 3 February 1996 and the ten months ended 4 February 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of accounting
The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and in
accordance with all applicable UK accounting standards. These accounts have
been prepared solely for the purpose of providing results for the period to
1 February 1997 for GTECH UK Limited, one of the five shareholders.
b. Group accounts
The accounts presented are for Camelot Group plc only. Camelot Group plc has
two 100% equity owned subsidiaries. These have not been consolidated as they
are dormant and are not material for the purposes of giving a true and fair
view.
c. Turnover
On-line turnover comprises of lottery ticket sales with adjustments being
made for on-line Multidraw and subscriptions tickets. Turnover for the period
ended 4 February 1995 relates to the period 1 April 1994 to 4 February 1995
and includes the first 12 on-line draws which started on 14 November 1995.
Turnover for the periods ended 1 February 1997 and 3 February 1996 include
sales for 52 draws. Instant ticket sales are recognised once the pack of
tickets is settled. A pack becomes settled on the earlier of 15 days after
the first ticket is sold or when 60% of the prizes are validated.
d. Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the period. Deferred
taxation is accounted for in respect of timing differences between profit as
computed for taxation purposes and profit as stated in the accounts. All
deferred tax liabilities are fully provided.
Advanced corporation taxation on dividends paid, which is expected to be
recovered, is included within debtors.
e. Value added tax
All costs include the attributable value added tax to the extent that it is
not recoverable.
f. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. The group's policy is to
write off the cost of assets evenly over the shorter of the estimated useful
life of the asset or the remaining Section 5 licence period. The principal
rates of depreciation used are as follows:
Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease period and the
remaining licence period.
Computer hardware 25%
Fixtures and fittings 20%
Terminals and network installation The shorter of seven years and the
remaining licence period.
Permanent point of sale equipment 50%
Other plant and equipment 20% - 50%
<PAGE>
g. Leasing
Operating lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss account as
incurred. Tangible fixed assets acquired under finance leases are included in
the balance sheet at their equivalent capital value and are depreciated over
their useful lives. The corresponding liabilities are recorded as a creditor
and the interest element of the finance lease rentals is charged to the
profit and loss account.
h. Stocks
Stocks consist of instant tickets, terminal rolls and playslips. They are
valued at cost using the first-in first-out method or at net realisable
value, whichever is the lower.
i. Pensions
The group operates a defined contribution scheme. The cost of the
contributions is charged to the profit and loss account in the period in
respect of which they relate.
j. Cash and liquid reserves
Cash comprises cash in hand and overnight deposits. Liquid resources comprise
deposits repayable within three months.
k. Escrow account
The escrow account is a fund held for the sole benefit of the National
Lottery Distribution Fund. Amounts payable to the escrow account are
allocated to the profit and loss account evenly over the period of the
licence, commencing from the first day of ticket sales.
l. Advertising and marketing costs
Advertising and marketing costs are charged to the profit and loss account
when they are incurred.

constituted in accordance with the Cadbury committee guidelines. The five
non-executive directors and their alternates nominated by the shareholder
companies do not receive any emoluments from Camelot. The emoluments of the
other non-executive directors are determined by the shareholder companies. All
emoluments are paid to the directors out of the amount retained by Camelot under
the terms of the Licence to run The National Lottery after paying all prizes,
duties and contributions to the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
The executive directors are eligible for annual bonuses if target returns to the
National Lottery Distribution Fund and profit to Camelot are met. These bonuses
are capped at 50% of annual base salary. On target performance yields 30% of
annual base salary. The first annual bonus was paid in the period to 3 February
1996 based on the results for the period from 1 June 1994 to 30 June 1995 and
this is included in these accounts. Bonuses paid in the period ended 1 February
1997 are based on the results for the year ended 30 June 1996.
<PAGE>
In order to drive the long term performance of the company and returns to the
National Lottery Distribution Fund, and in the absence of a share option scheme,
the remuneration committee has authorised a long-term incentive plan for the
executive directors and other senior executives. Bonuses payable under this plan
are based upon cumulative funds generated for the National Lottery Distribution
Fund and cumulative pre-tax profits over the period 1 June 1994 to 30 September
1997. The on target bonus payable for this scheme is 100% of annual base salary.
The maximum amount payable is 140% of annual base salary. This bonus is non
pensionable. Performance related bonuses below include part payments relating to
this scheme.

10. Trust accounts and cash
In order to protect the interests of prize winners and players, Camelot has
established trust accounts operated by an independent trustee, The Law Debenture
Trust Corporation plc. There are a number of trust accounts operated in order to
separate funds to be paid for prizes and amounts received from players in
respect of future draws from Camelot's own funds.
a. Amounts recoverable from the trust in respect of prizes - operational trust
Funds in the operational trust represent the outstanding prize liability.
Camelot is reimbursed retrospectively as prizes are paid. The balance of any
interest arising on this account (after expenses of the trust) is for the
benefit of The National Lottery Distribution Fund. The operational trust
account balance of ps81.0 million (1996: ps 67.2 million) represents the
amounts recoverable from the trust in respect of prizes paid by the company
and is shown as a current asset.
b. Trust reserve account
Camelot transferred ps5 million into a trust account at the launch of the
on-line game. During the year Camelot transferred a further ps6m into the
trust account at the launch of the Midweek on-line game. The amount (or the
relevant part) will be repayable to Camelot at the end of the section 5
licence period in accordance with the trust deed. This amount is recoverable
after more than one year.
c. Cash at bank and in hand
The split of Camelot's cash balances between Camelot accounts and trust
accounts is as follows:

---------------------------------------- ---------- ----------
Camelot bank accounts
On 12 April 1996 the Camelot bank account balance reduced by ps90.4m as a
result of the first payment to the escrow account (see note 14). In addition,
ps135.3m was paid to the National Lottery Distribution Fund on 26 July in
respect of the outstanding prize liability for the year to 31 March 1996.
Subscription trust
Amounts transferred to the subscription trust are those amounts received from
players relating to future draws, whether by subscription or by using the
multidraw facility. Camelot is reimbursed after the draw to which the funds
relate. The subscription trust balance is included in trust bank accounts in the
table above.
The trust accounts and interest received thereon are subject to first fixed and
floating charges in favour of the trustee.
Floating charges have been given in respect of certain Camelot assets to the
trustee and to Camelot's bankers, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.

prizes. At 1 February 1997 Camelot had transferred ps81.0m into the trust to
meet these liabilities (1996: ps67.1m).
The outstanding prize liability commitment represents the difference between the
target prize payout commitment and the actual payout. Any amounts not utilised
for the payment of prizes are for the benefit of the National Lottery
Distribution Fund and will be paid over to the National Lottery Distribution
Fund in July 1997.

14. Escrow account
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The licence provides for Camelot to make a payment to an escrow account such
that the total balance of this escrow account equals 2.5% of the previous
financial year's sales to date less ps40 million. The balance is held in this
account for the benefit of the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
As stated in the accounting policy note, amounts payable to the escrow account
are allocated to the profit and loss account evenly over the period of the
licence, commencing from the first day of ticket sales. In 1997 ps14.1m was
charged to the profit and loss (1996: ps14.1m, 1995: ps3.2m). The first
payment to the escrow account of ps90.4m was made on 12 April 1996. The
difference between the payment and the cumulative charge to profit has been
treated as a deferred expense and is disclosed within debtors. The payment gives
rise to a deferred tax charge (see note 5).
