equipment. In addition to the purchase price, the Company has agreed to
guarantee a GSMC note payable to its former shareholders in the amount of $4.4
million. Sodak continues to hold notes receivable (relating to prior loans to
GSMC to finance the dockside facility and gaming equipment), lease payments
receivable and accrued interest receivable from GSMC aggregating to $22.6
million as of June 30, 1996.

Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 33.5% to
$4.1 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to net earnings of $3.1 million, or
$0.27 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's
principal revenue sources -- product sales, gaming operations, wide area
progressive systems, and financing -- all recorded increases in revenues and net
earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same quarter
in 1995. Product sales and wide area progressive systems were the primary
contributors to the increase in net earnings. The greatest rate of revenue
growth occurred in gaming operations -- a 143.7% increase propelled by the
continued expansion of Latin American gaming operations.

REVENUES

     Total revenues increased 42.1% to $34.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1995.

     PRODUCT SALES. Product sales increased 29.2% to $26.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, from $20.2 million in 1995. Total sales of gaming
machines, including specialty gaming machines and used machines, were
approximately 3,100 machines in 1996 as compared to approximately 2,250 machines
in 1995. The gaming machine placements in 1996 were primarily in the states of
Michigan and Wisconsin and in the province of Ontario, Canada.

     GAMING OPERATIONS. Gaming operations revenue increased 143.7% to $5.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $2.2 million in 1995.
This increase is primarily attributable to the growth of gaming operations in
Peru and the introduction of gaming operations in Ecuador and Brazil.
     Gaming operations revenue consisted of $1.6 million in lease revenue from
the Miss Marquette riverboat for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared
to $1.7 million in 1995 (the operating company of the Miss Marquette casino
complex, Gamblers Supply Management Company (GSMC), was purchased by the Company
on July 1, 1996 -- see page 15 for discussion); $0.4 million in revenue earned
from the Company's share of Harrah's Entertainment, Inc.'s (Harrah's) management
fee in connection with Harrah's Phoenix Ak-Chin casino and entertainment complex
in each of the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (Harrah's owns
approximately 14.1% of the Company's outstanding shares at June 30, 1996); and
$3.4 million in revenue from international gaming operations in 1996 compared to
$0.1 million in 1995.

     The Company believes that gaming operations revenue will increase as a
result of the acquisition of GSMC (see page 15 for discussion) and as current
operations mature and additional operations and strategic


                                       9
<PAGE>
 
markets are developed. However, there can be no assurance that such revenues
will be realized due primarily to gaming's dependence on its legal status and
public acceptance in certain jurisdictions.

     WIDE AREA PROGRESSIVE SYSTEMS.  Wide area progressive revenues increased
131.6% to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $0.8
million in 1995. Wide area progressive systems revenues are derived from the
operation of multi-link systems available to Native American casinos nationwide
in jurisdictions permitting such systems. The increase in revenues is a result
of the expansion of systems. At August 1, 1996, the Company was providing a
total of seven wide area progressive systems which were operating in 10 states:
Arizona (which permits the operation of intrastate wide area progressive systems
in lieu of interstate systems), Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

     The Quartermania and Megabucks interstate systems were first introduced to
Native American casinos in August 1994; the Nickelmania interstate system was
introduced in November 1995; the Arizona intrastate Quartermania and Megabucks
systems were introduced in December 1995; and the Dollars Deluxe interstate
system was introduced in June 1996. The Company also operates a system available
to non-Native American casinos located in Deadwood, South Dakota. Based on
current market trends, the Company believes that the wide area progressive
revenues could increase through the placement of additional machines on existing
systems as well as the introduction of new systems.

     FINANCING INCOME.  Financing income on notes receivable and other financing
arrangements increased 15.9% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996, compared to $1.2 million in 1995. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in financing arrangements entered into.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Total costs and expenses increased 44.5% to $28.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $19.6 million for the same three month
period in 1995.

     PRODUCT SALES. The cost of product sales increased 31.4% to $20.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $15.5 million in 1995. This
increase was attributable to the increased sales volume of gaming machines. As a
percentage of product sales revenue, the cost of products increased to 78.2% in
1996, from 76.8% in 1995. The lower gross margin is due primarily to an increase
in the percentage of sales qualifying for discounts.

     GAMING OPERATIONS. Gaming operations direct costs increased $2.9 million to
$3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.1 million
in 1995. This increase is attributed to the expansion of gaming operations in
Peru and the introduction of gaming operations in Ecuador and Brazil.

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 17.8% to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996, from $3.8 million in 1995. This increase resulted primarily from increases
in compensation and related employee costs and benefits, depreciation, travel
and other expenses associated with the development of new markets, including
gaming operations in the United States, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and other
countries, primarily in Latin America. These expenses are consistent with the
Company's growth philosophy and ongoing strategy to establish gaming operations
and other recurring revenue sources and to successfully pursue opportunities in
potential new gaming jurisdictions. As a percentage of total revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.0% in 1996 compared to 15.7%
in 1995.

     INTEREST AND FINANCING. Interest and financing costs increased 148% to $0.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $0.2 million in 1995. The
increase in financing costs is attributed to increased borrowings for 1) the
expansion of gaming operations in Latin America, 2) the increases in receivables
and contracts from the financing of product sales, and 3) the construction of a
new warehouse, assembly, systems operations and corporate headquarters facility.
The Company believes that interest and financing costs will increase during 1996
and future years as the Company continues its growth strategy.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     The cumulative effect of the above described changes resulted in a 32.3%
increase in income from operations to $6.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. As a
percentage of revenues, income from operations decreased to 18.4% in 1996, from
19.8% in 1995. This decrease in the operating margin of the Company was
primarily the result of 1) the lower gross margin on product sales due to the
increase in sales qualifying for discounts, and 2) the expansion of
international gaming operations, which are in a phase of growth and
infrastructure development.

EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

     Earnings before income taxes increased 32.7% to $6.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995. Provision for income taxes were $2.3 million in 1996, compared to
$1.8 million in 1995, representing 36.3% and 36.7% of earnings before income
taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 52.7% to $6.8
million, or $0.59 per share, compared to net earnings of $4.4 million, or $0.39
per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The Company's principal
revenue sources -- product sales, gaming operations, wide area progressive
systems, and financing -- all recorded increases in revenues and net earnings
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.
Product sales and wide area progressive systems were the primary contributors to
the increase in net earnings. The greatest rate of revenue growth occurred in
wide area progressive systems -- a 192.9% increase as a result of continued
expansion of machines to the systems.

REVENUES

     Total revenues increased 49.5% to $56.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to $37.7 million for the first six months in 1995.

     PRODUCT SALES.  Product sales increased 35.9% to $40.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, from $29.9 million in 1995.  Total sales of gaming
machines, including specialty gaming machines and used machines, were
approximately 5,050 machines in 1996, as compared to approximately 3,300
machines in 1995.  The gaming machine placements in 1996 were primarily in the
states of Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi and Wisconsin and
in the province of Ontario, Canada.

     GAMING OPERATIONS.  Gaming operations revenue increased 113.8% to $9.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $4.3 million in 1995. This
increase is primarily attributable to the growth of gaming operations in Peru
and the introduction of gaming operations in Ecuador and Brazil.

     Gaming operations revenue consisted of $3.3 million in lease revenue from
the Miss Marquette riverboat for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
$3.4 million in 1995 (the operating company of the Miss Marquette casino
complex, GSMC, was purchased by the Company on July 1, 1996 -- see page 15 for
discussion); $0.9 million in revenue earned from the Company's share of Harrah's
management fee in connection with Harrah's Phoenix Ak-Chin casino and
entertainment complex for each of the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
(Harrah's owns approximately 14.1% of the Company's outstanding shares at June
30, 1996); and $5.1 million in revenue from international gaming operations in
1996 compared to $0.1 million in 1995.

     The Company believes that gaming operations revenue will increase as a
result of the acquisition of GSMC (see page 15 for discussion) and as current
operations mature and additional operations and strategic markets are developed.
However, there can be no assurance that such revenues will be realized due
primarily to gaming's dependence on its legal status and public acceptance in
certain jurisdictions.

     WIDE AREA PROGRESSIVE SYSTEMS. Wide area progressive revenues increased
192.9% to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $1.2 million
in 1995. Wide area progressive systems revenues are derived from the operation
of multi-link systems available to Native American casinos nationwide in
jurisdictions permitting such systems. The increase in revenues is a result of
the expansion of systems. At August 1, 1996, the Company was providing a total
of seven wide area progressive systems which were operating in 10 states:
Arizona (which permits the operation of intrastate wide area progressive systems
in lieu of interstate systems), Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

     The Quartermania and Megabucks interstate systems were first introduced to
Native American casinos in August 1994; the Nickelmania interstate system was
introduced in November 1995; the Arizona intrastate Quartermania and Megabucks
systems were introduced in December 1995; and the Dollars Deluxe interstate
system was introduced in June 1996. The Company also operates a system available
to non-Native American casinos located in Deadwood, South Dakota. Based on
current market trends, the Company believes that the wide area progressive
revenues could increase through the placement of additional machines on existing
systems as well as the introduction of new systems.


     FINANCING INCOME. Financing income on notes receivable and other financing
arrangements increased 31.4% to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996, compared to $2.2 million in 1995. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in financing arrangements entered into.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     Total costs and expenses increased 48.5% to $45.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $30.7 million in 1995.

     PRODUCT SALES. The cost of product sales increased 35.8% to $31.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $23.0 million in 1995. This
increase was attributable to the increased sales volume of gaming machines. As a
percentage of product sales revenue, the cost of products was 77.1% in 1996 and
77.2% in 1995.

     GAMING OPERATIONS. Gaming operations direct costs increased $4.4 million to
$4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.1 million in
1995. This increase is attributed to the expansion of gaming operations in Peru
and the introduction of gaming operations in Ecuador and Brazil.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 21.3% to $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
from $7.4 million in 1995. This increase resulted primarily from increases in
compensation and related employee costs and benefits, advertising and promotion,
depreciation, provision for doubtful accounts, travel and other expenses
associated with
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
the development of new markets, including gaming operations in the United
States, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and other countries, primarily in Latin America.
These expenses are consistent with the Company's growth philosophy and ongoing
strategy to establish gaming operations and other recurring revenue sources and
to successfully pursue opportunities in potential new gaming jurisdictions. As a
percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased to 15.8% in 1996 compared to 19.5% in 1995.

     INTEREST AND FINANCING. Interest and financing costs increased 278% to $1.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $0.3 million in 1995. The
increase in financing costs is attributed to increased borrowings for 1) the
expansion of gaming operations in Latin America, 2) the increases in receivables
and contracts from the financing of product sales and 3) the construction of a
new warehouse, assembly, systems operations and corporate headquarters facility.
The Company believes that interest and financing costs will increase during 1996
and future years as the Company continues its growth strategy.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     The cumulative effect of the above described changes resulted in a 54.0%
increase in income from operations to $10.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. As a
percentage of revenues, income from operations increased to 18.9% in 1996, from
18.4% in 1995. This improvement in the operating margin of the Company was
primarily attributable to the growth in revenues from wide area progressive
systems, which have lower costs than product sales due to the absence of a `cost
of goods sold' component.

EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

     Earnings before income taxes increased 52.7% to $10.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $7.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995. Provision for income taxes were $3.9 million in 1996, compared to
$2.6 million in 1995, representing 36.6% of earnings before income taxes for
both six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
WORKING CAPITAL

     Working capital increased $2.9 million to $39.8 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily a result of a $2.9
million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $6.6 million increase in
receivables, and a $1.4 million increase in inventories. The increases were
partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in accounts payable and a $0.4
million increase in income taxes payable.

                                      14

CASH FLOWS

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996 the Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased $2.9 million to $3.8 million. Cash provided by operating
activities was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Cash
provided by operating activities was primarily the result of $6.8 million in net
earnings, $0.8 million in depreciation and amortization, $13.9 million in
payments received on notes receivable relating to financed sales, a $7.7 million
increase in accounts payable, and a $0.4 million increase in income taxes
payable. These proceeds were partially offset by $14.7 million in gross profit
and inventories sold under financing arrangements, a $7.9 million increase in
receivables, and a $3.9 million increase in inventories.

     Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996
was $8.1 million, which consisted of $6.1 million used to purchase property and
equipment primarily for gaming operations in Latin America, a $2.6 million
increase in amounts due from riverboat lessee and a $1.9 million increase in
other assets, primarily for capitalized development costs in Latin America. Cash
used in investing activities was partially offset by $2.3 million of payments
received on notes receivable.

     Financing activities provided $7.5 million during the six months ended June
30, 1996 as a result of net proceeds from long-term borrowings under a revolving
credit facility. The increase in debt is primarily due to the purchase of gaming
equipment and related costs associated with the expansion of international
markets.

     In 1994, the Company invested $21.8 million (excluding approximately $5.7
million of equipment financing provided by the Company) in the Miss Marquette
riverboat casino, which the Company leased to GSMC beginning October 1, 1994 for
a period of eight years with automatic extensions of an additional 17 years.
This investment consisted of (a) $14.3 million expended by Sodak to acquire and
refurbish a riverboat, and (b) an additional $7.5 million that the Company
loaned to GSMC to fund costs incurred by GSMC to develop and construct dockside
facilities and related amenities. The lease required scheduled lease payments of
the greater of an aggregate of $25 million, or 50% of defined net income from
the related casino operations, determined annually, during the first 43 months
of the lease; and 50% of defined net income from related casino operations
thereafter, beginning in April 1998.

     GSMC was unable to meet regularly scheduled payments under the lease and
financing notes due to dockside facility construction and preopening cost
overruns. The Company allowed GSMC to fund the cost overruns with operating cash
flow.

     On July 1, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of GSMC
for $1 million in cash. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The assets of GSMC consist of gaming machines, gaming
equipment and the dockside facilities, which include a 24-room hotel, parking
lots, marina, restaurant, lounge and other support facilities and related
furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition to the purchase price, the
Company has agreed to guarantee a GSMC note payable to its former shareholders
in the amount of $4.4 million. Sodak continues to hold notes receivable
(relating to prior loans to GSMC to finance the dockside facility and gaming
equipment), lease payments receivable and accrued interest receivable from GSMC
aggregating to $22.6 million as of June 30, 1996.

INDEBTEDNESS / LINES OF CREDIT

     The Company had $25.6 million of long term debt outstanding at June 30,
1996. Of that amount, $25 million is borrowed under proceeds from a $50 million
long-term revolving credit facility from a syndicate of banks. The revolving
line has two components, a $20 million tranche (Tranche A) to be used for
general corporate purposes and a $30 million tranche (Tranche B) for
acquisitions and major capital equipment expenditures. Tranche A matures in
February 1999, plus two one-year renewal options subject to bank approval, and
Tranche B matures in February 2001. The amount available under Tranche B is
reduced by $1.875 million quarterly beginning in 1997. The unused portion of the
revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee, based on a calculation
as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable based on variable rates which,
at the Company's option, are based on the prime rate, federal funds rate plus
1%, or a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. Amounts borrowed are secured
by substantially all Company assets, excluding real estate, but including a
first preferred ship mortgage on the Miss Marquette riverboat.

     The remaining $0.6 million is secured by certain transportation equipment
and carries an interest rate of 7.45%; the majority of this loan is due in
December 1998.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

     As part of an agreement with Harrah's, the Company guaranteed financing
relating to 50% of the construction cost of a Native American casino facility,
managed by Harrah's, that opened in December 1994. As of August 1, 1996, the
Company's outstanding guaranty was approximately $1.1 million. As a
consideration for the loan guaranty, the Company receives, from Harrah's, 4% of
the distributable net income of the gaming operation over the term of the
management contract.

     During 1994, the Company assisted a casino management company in acquiring
$8 million in financing from a financial institution. The Company guaranteed the
management company's debt and receives a loan guarantee fee based on a
percentage of the outstanding loan balance. As of August 1, 1996, the Company's
guaranty was approximately $4.9 million.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings
- -------------------------

     RICO Litigation. On April 26, 1994, the Company was named as a defendant in
a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court, Middle
District of Florida, by William A. Poulos and William Ahearn, respectively, each
of whom sought to assert claims on behalf of themselves and "all other similarly
situated ("the plaintiffs"). Each of the plaintiffs filed suit against Sodak and
approximately 41 other defendants (each a "defendant" and collectively "the
defendants"). These two lawsuits were ordered consolidated by the Court, and the
action has been transferred to the United States District Court, District of
Nevada, for further proceedings. Each defendant is involved in the gaming
business as either a gaming machine manufacturer, distributor, or casino
operator. The class action lawsuit arises out of alleged fraudulent marketing
and
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
operation of casino video poker machines and electronic slot machines. The
plaintiffs allege that the defendants have engaged in a course of fraudulent and
misleading conduct intended to induce people in playing their gaming machines
based on a false belief concerning how those machines actually operate as well
as the extent to which there is actually an opportunity to win on any given
play. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants' actions constitute violations
of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") and give rise
to claims of common law fraud and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs are seeking
monetary damages in excess of $1 billion and are asking that any damage awards
be trebled under applicable federal law.

     On April 15, 1996, the Nevada Federal District Court issued Orders granting
Sodak's and other's motions to dismiss and allowed plaintiffs to file amended
Complaints to properly state a claim on or before May 31, 1996. The amended
complaint was filed at the close of work of May 31, 1996. Accompanying the
amended complaint was a motion seeking leave to substitute plaintiff Brenda
McElmore in the place and stead of plaintiff Mr. Ahearn. The Company believes
the plaintiffs' lawsuit to be without merit and the Company intends to
vigorously pursue all legal defenses available to it.

     On September 26, 1995, another RICO-based class action was filed in the
United States District Court, District of Nevada, by Larry Schreier, which named
the Company as a defendant, along with the same 41 other defendants (each a
"defendant" and collectively "the defendants"). The plaintiff in this action is
a resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and purports to bring this action on behalf of
himself and "all other similarly situated" (the "plaintiffs"), namely, all
members of "casino card clubs" and players in "video poker tournaments", which
would appear to be a sub-class of plaintiffs within the two prior class actions
identified above and which are presently pending against the Company in the
District of Nevada. Except for the identification of the class which the
plaintiff seeks to represent, all substantive allegations of this action are
virtually identical to the consolidated Poulos/Ahearn actions, and, the Company
believes, is also without merit.

     This latest action is presently in its initial pleading phase, with answers
or dispositive motions yet to be filed on behalf of the Company. The Company
intends to vigorously pursue this action with all legal defenses available to
it, and to shortly file various dispositive motions on its behalf.
