Forward-Looking Statements
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as may, will, estimate, intend, continue, believe, expect, anticipate, could, potential, opportunity, or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located in the material set forth under the heading Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations but may be found in other locations as well. These statements are based upon managements current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future results or performance. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things: competition; material adverse changes in economic and industry conditions in our markets; technological change; retention and renewal of existing contracts and entry into new contracts; availability and adequacy of cash flow to satisfy obligations and indebtedness or future needs; protection of intellectual property; security and integrity of software and systems; laws and government regulation, including those relating to gaming licenses, permits and operations; inability to identify, complete and integrate future acquisitions; seasonality; dependence on suppliers and manufacturers; factors associated with foreign operations; dependence on key personnel; failure to perform on contracts; resolution of pending or future litigation; labor matters; and stock price volatility. Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including under the heading Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation and are unaudited. When used in these notes, the terms the Company, we, us, our and our Company mean Scientific Games Corporation and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2008 and the results of our operations and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 excludes the effect of approximately 3,439 and 1,142, respectively, out-of-the-money stock options, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The aggregate number of shares that we could be obligated to issue upon conversion of the remaining $273,800 in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (the Convertible Debentures), which were sold in December 2004, is approximately 9,408. The Convertible Debentures provide for net share settlement upon conversion. In December 2004, we purchased a bond hedge to mitigate the potential dilution from conversion of the Convertible Debentures during the term of the bond hedge.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
During the first quarter of 2008, the conversion price of the Convertible Debentures exceeded the average price of our common stock. Therefore, the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 excludes the effect of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures because their effect would be anti-dilutive. During the first quarter of 2007, the average price of our common stock exceeded the conversion price of the Convertible Debentures. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 we have included approximately 684 shares related to our Convertible Debentures in our weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we did not include the offset from the bond hedge in the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding as it would be anti-dilutive. To the extent the Convertible Debentures are converted during the term of the bond hedge, the diluted share amount will decrease because the bond hedge will mitigate the dilution from conversion of the Convertible Debentures.
(2) Acquisitions
During the third quarter of 2007, we announced plans to close our instant ticket printing plant in San Antonio, Texas in conjunction with ongoing integration efforts related to our May 1, 2007 acquisition of Oberthur Gaming Technologies and related companies (OGT). We recorded approximately $8,221 in liabilities, primarily related to involuntary employee terminations, asset disposals and termination of contractual obligations.

In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating income as a segments measure of profit or loss. Operating income is before interest income, interest expense, equity in earnings of joint ventures, corporate expenses and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007).
(4) Equity Investments in Joint Ventures
We are a member of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali, a consortium consisting principally of our Company, Lottomatica S.p.A, and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists. The consortium has a signed contract with the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery. The contract commenced in 2004 and has an initial term of six years with a six year-extension option. Under our contract with the consortium, we supply instant lottery tickets, game development services, marketing support, and the instant ticket management system and systems support. We also participate in the profits or losses of the consortium as a 20% equity owner, and assist Lottomatica S.p.A in the lottery operations. We account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recorded income of $15,116 and $11,563, respectively, representing our share of the earnings of the consortium for the indicated periods.

(9) Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans
We have defined benefit pension plans for our U.S.-based union employees and U.K.-based union employees (the U.S. Plan and the U.K. Plan) and, with the acquisition of OGT, certain Canadian-based employees (the Canadian Plan). Retirement benefits under the U.S. Plan are based upon the number of years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years for the majority of the employees. Retirement benefits under the U.K. Plan are based on an employees average compensation over the two years preceding retirement. Retirement benefits under the Canadian Plan are generally based on the number of years of credited service. Our policy is to fund the minimum contribution permissible by the respective tax authorities.
The following table sets forth the combined amount of net periodic benefit cost recognized for three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

(10) Income Taxes
We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2001. We do not believe that the amount of uncertain tax positions will change by a significant amount within the next 12 months.
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 of 30.0% and 27.6%, respectively, were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to lower tax rates applicable to the increase in our earnings from operations outside the United States and the tax benefit of the 2004 debt restructuring.

(14) Subsequent Event
In the fourth quarter of 2007 we sold our interest in International Lotto Corp., SRL (ILC), which sale agreement was officially registered with a public notary in January 2008. In April 2008, the buyers of ILC informed us that they were voiding the sale agreement for certain specified reasons. We objected to their position and are now in arbitration in Peru with the buyers and are assessing our other legal rights and obligations.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion addresses the results of operations of Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we, us, our or the Company), for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our results may vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period. The acquisition of OGT in May 2007 affects the comparability of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our Diversified Gaming segment. As a result of inclement weather during the winter months, a number of racetracks do not operate and those that do operate often experience missed racing days. This adversely affects the amounts wagered and our corresponding service revenues. Additionally, the fourth quarter is the weakest quarter for Global Draw Limited (Global Draw) due to reduced wagering during the holiday season. Wagering and lottery equipment sales and software license revenues usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenues and operating results of our Lottery Systems Group can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment sales and software licensing transactions. In addition, Printed Products sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions.
Background
We operate primarily in three business segments: Printed Products Group, Lottery Systems Group and Diversified Gaming Group. Our revenues consist of two major components: services revenues and sales revenues.
Printed Products Group
We provide instant tickets and related services. Instant ticket and related services include ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. Additionally, this division provides lotteries with over 80 licensed brand products, including Major League Baseball®, NASCAR®, National Basketball Association, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Hasbro®, Corvette®, World Poker Tour® and Deal or No Deal. This division also includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers.
We are a worldwide manufacturer of prepaid phone cards, which entitle cellular phone users to a defined value of airtime. Prepaid phone cards offer consumers a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime, without requiring phone companies to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts.
Prepaid phone cards utilize the secure process that we employ in the production of instant lottery tickets. This helps to ensure integrity and reliability of the product, thus providing consumers in more than 50 countries with access to prepaid cellular phone service.
In the fourth quarter of 2007 we sold our interest in International Lotto Corp., SRL (ILC), which sale agreement was officially registered with a public notary in January 2008. In April 2008, the buyers of ILC informed us that they were voiding the sale agreement for certain specified reasons. We objected to their position and are now in arbitration in Peru with the buyers and are assessing our other legal rights and obligations.
Lottery Systems Group
Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of instant ticket, online and video lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance services for these products. This business also includes software and hardware and support services for sports betting and operation of credit card processing systems.
Diversified Gaming Group
Our Diversified Gaming Group provides services and systems to private and public operators in the wide area gaming markets and in the pari-mutuel wagering industry. Our product offering includes server-based gaming machines (including our Nevada dual screen terminals, which can offer Great Britain regulated Category B2 or B3 content on the same machines), video lottery terminals (VLTs), monitor games, wagering systems for the pari-mutuel racing industry, sports betting systems and services and Great Britain regulated Category C Amusement With Prize (AWP) and Skill With Prize (SWP) terminals. Business units within the Diversified Gaming Group include: Global Draw, a leading supplier of gaming terminals, systems and monitor games to licensed bookmakers, primarily in the U.K., Austria and Mexico; Scientific Games Racing LLC, a leading worldwide supplier of computerized systems for pari-mutuel wagering; Games Media Limited (Games Media), our AWP and SWP terminal supplier in the U.K. public house (or pub) market; and our pari-mutuel gaming operations in Connecticut, Maine and the Netherlands.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
The following analysis compares the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Overview
Revenue Analysis
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, total revenue was $257.0 million compared to $242.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $14.7 million or 6%. Our service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $234.0 million compared to $211.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $23.0 million, or 11%. The increase was primarily attributable to service revenues from OGT which was acquired in May 2007 ($19.5 million) and increased sales of instant lottery tickets in Italy, the U.S. and China, partially offset by the impact of the re-priced Pennsylvania cooperative services contract, which began impacting revenue during the fourth quarter 2007 ($4.7 million), decreased licensed property revenue and reduced revenue as a result of the sale of our interest in ILC, our lottery operations in Peru, in December 2007. Our sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $23.1 million compared to $31.3 million in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $8.2 million or 26%. The decrease primarily reflects decreased sales from Games Media reflecting the expected decline in sales of analog AWP terminals as a result of the roll-out of digital AWP terminals, which are being deployed under revenue participation agreements, the absence of a one-time sale of ticket checker machines in Canada during the first quarter of 2007 and a decline in phone card sales. The decrease was partially offset by increased software and hardware sales to international Lottery Systems customers.
Expense Analysis
Cost of services of $130.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $13.7 million or 12% higher than for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily related costs from OGT, which was acquired in May 2007 and increased costs associated with increased sales of instant lottery tickets, partially offset by a decline in licensed property costs and reduced costs from ILC as a result of the sale of this business in 2007. Cost of sales of $16.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $5.7 million or 25% lower than the quarter ended March 31, 2007 primarily reflecting lower sales from Games Media reflecting the expected decline in sales of analog AWP terminals as a result of the roll-out of digital AWP terminals, which are being deployed under revenue participation agreements, the absence of a one-time sale of ticket checker machines in Canada during the first quarter of 2007 and a decreased level of phone card sales. The decrease was partially offset by costs associated with increased software and hardware sales to international Lottery Systems customers.
Selling, general and administrative expense of $49.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $10.7 million or 27% higher than for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily related to costs from OGT, which was acquired in May 2007, expense associated with the restructuring of phone card manufacturing in the U.K. ($2.8 million), increased costs from the Global Draw earn-out ($1.8 million) and increased legal, compliance and business development costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $34.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $5.4 million or 19% from the same period in 2007, primarily due to depreciation from the acquisition of OGT in May 2007, increased depreciation from Global Draw, and increased depreciation from our domestic pari-mutuel business.
Interest expense of $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $1.0 million or 8% from the same period in 2006, primarily attributable to increased borrowings, partially offset by a decline in interest rates.
Equity in earnings of joint ventures primarily reflects our share of the earnings of the Italian joint venture in connection with the operation of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery, our share of the equity of Roberts Communications Network (RCN), which provides communications services to racing and non-racing customers using both satellite and terrestrial services, and our interest in Guard Libang, which provides instant validation services to 21 provinces and certain cooperative service functions to 44 cities in China for the China Welfare Lottery. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our share of the Italian consortiums net income totaled $15.1 million compared to $11.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 reflects continued growth of instant ticket sales in Italy. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our share of the earnings of RCN was $1.0 million and our share of the earnings of Guard Libang was $0.9 million.
Income tax expense was $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 versus $9.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately 30.0% and 28.0% respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher U.S. income taxes in the first quarter of 2008.

Segment Overview
Printed Products
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, total revenue for Printed Products was $135.9 million compared to $113.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $22.0 million or 19%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, service revenue for Printed Products was $127.2 million compared to $104.6 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, an increase of $22.6 million or 22%. The increase was primarily attributable to service revenue from OGT, which was acquired in May 2007 ($19.5 million) and increased sales of instant lottery tickets in Italy, the U.S. and China, partially offset by the impact of the re-priced Pennsylvania cooperative services contract, which began impacting revenue during the fourth quarter 2007 ($4.7 million), decreased licensed property revenue and reduced revenue from ILC as a result of our disposal of the business in January 2008.
Printed Products sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $8.7 million compared to $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $0.6 million or 6%. The decrease was primarily the result of a continuing decline in phone card prices and volumes reflecting a market shift to lower priced products.
Cost of services of $70.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $15.1 million or 27% higher than from the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to costs from OGT which was acquired in May 2007 plus higher costs attributable to increased instant ticket sales, partially offset by a decline in licensed property costs and reduced costs from ILC as a result of our disposal of the business in January 2008.
Cost of sales of $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.4 million or 18% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to the decreased level of phone card sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense of $17.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $6.2 million or 54% higher than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to costs from OGT, which was acquired in May 2007, increased expense associated with the restructuring of phone card manufacturing in the U.K. ($2.8 million) and increased legal, compliance and business development costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $10.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $1.6 million or 19% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to depreciation from the acquisition of OGT in May 2007 and increased amortization on licensed property contracts and increased costs associated with our new printing press, partially offset by reduced depreciation from ILC as a result of our disposal of the business in January 2008.
Lottery Systems
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, total revenue for Lottery Systems was $62.4 million compared to $65.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $3.0 million or 5%. Lottery Systems service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $54.6 million compared to $54.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $0.3 million or 1%. The increase was primarily due to increased revenue from the Maryland and Mexico online contracts, increased revenue on the New Mexico video contract and increased revenue from international customers due to favorable exchange rate changes. The increases were mostly offset by reduced revenue from the Korea contract which expired in December 2007 and reduced revenue from the South Carolina online contract.
Lottery Systems sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $7.8 million compared to $11.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $3.2 million or 29%. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of a one-time sale of ticket checker machines in Canada during the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by increased international software and hardware sales.
Cost of services of $28.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $0.8 million or 3% lower than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs on international maintenance contracts.
Cost of sales of $5.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $0.3 million or 5% lower than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to the absence of a one-time sale of ticket checker machines in Canada during the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by costs associated with increased international software and hardware sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense of $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.3 million or 16% higher than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to increased legal, compliance and business development costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $15.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $0.9 million or 6% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to increased amortization of deferred installation costs for our Lottery Systems contract in Mexico, partially offset by reduced amortization on the South Carolina and Korea contracts.
Diversified Gaming
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, total revenue for Diversified Gaming was $58.7 million compared to $63.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $4.3 million or 7%. Diversified Gaming service revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $52.1 million compared to $52.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase in service revenue primarily reflects increased revenue from Global Draw, partially offset by decreased revenue from our venue management business and lower revenue as a result of the sale of our racing and data communications businesses in February 2007.
25
The Diversified Gaming sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $6.6 million compared to $11.0 million in the same quarter in the prior year, a decrease of $4.4 million or 40%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales from Games Media reflecting the expected decline in sales of analog AWP terminals, as a result of the roll-out of digital AWP terminals, which are being deployed under revenue participation agreements.
Cost of services of $30.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $0.8 million or 3% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to reduced costs as a result of the sale of our racing and data communications businesses in February 2007, partially offset by costs associated with increased revenues from Global Draw.
Cost of sales of $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $3.9 million or 45% lower than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to reduced sales from Games Media.
Selling, general and administrative expense of $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.5 million or 28% higher than in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased costs from the Global Draw earn-out ($1.8 million), partially offset by lower legal and marketing costs and reduced costs as a result of the sale of our racing and data communications businesses in February 2007.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $3.0 million or 48% from the quarter ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to increased depreciation from Global Draw and Games Media plus increased depreciation from our domestic pari-mutuel business.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital
On March 31, 2008, we had $60.9 million available for additional borrowing or letter of credit issuance under our revolving credit facility due December 2009 (the Revolver). There were $198.5 million of borrowings and $40.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under our Revolver as of March 31, 2008.
Our credit agreement dated as of December 23, 2004, as amended and restated as of January 24, 2007 (the Credit Facility) is secured by a first priority, perfected lien on: (i) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of our Company and our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries; (ii) 100% of the capital stock of all of our direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our 100%-owned first-tier foreign subsidiaries; and (iii) all inter-company indebtedness owing among our Company and our 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility is supported by guarantees provided by all of our direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries.

Our pari-mutuel wagering and online lottery systems service contracts require us to, among other things, maintain the central computing system and related hardware in efficient working order, provide added software functionality upon request, provide on-site computer operators, and furnish necessary supplies. Our primary expenditures associated with these services are personnel and related costs, which are expensed as incurred and are included in Cost of Services in the consolidated statements of income. Historically, the revenues we derive from our pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts have generally exceeded the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations thereunder. We expect that we will continue to realize positive cash flow and operating income as we extend or renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any other material short-term or long-term obligations or commitments pursuant to these service contracts.
Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and online lottery contracts. Once awarded, these contracts generally require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically, we have funded these up-front costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to borrow at commercially acceptable rates to finance the initial up-front costs. Once operational, long-term service contracts have been accretive to our operating cash flow. The actual level of capital expenditures will ultimately largely depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. Furthermore, our pari-mutuel wagering network consists of approximately 26,000 wagering terminals. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have exhausted their useful lives. During the remainder of 2008, we expect to place approximately 84,000 ticket checking machines into operations for our new contract with the China Sports Lottery for a total cost of approximately $47 million. Servicing our installed terminal base requires that we maintain a supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as-needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations, other than in the ordinary course of business.
As of March 31, 2008, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $92.8 million compared to $150.6 million as of December 31, 2007. The amount of our available cash fluctuates principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel and fixed odds wagering contracts, borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities and changes in our working capital position.
The $2.5 million increase in our available cash from the December 31, 2007 level principally reflects the net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $38.4 million along with $47.9 million of additional net borrowings, offset by wagering and other capital expenditures and other investing activities totaling $64.0 million, acquisition related payments of $2.7 million and the effects of exchange rates. The $38.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities is derived from approximately $48.1 million of net cash provided by operations offset by approximately $9.7 million from changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from increases in inventory and other current assets, and decreases in accounts payable and prepaid expenses offset by decreases in accounts receivable. Capital expenditures were $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $2.5 million in the corresponding period in 2007. Wagering system expenditures totaled $49.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $23.5 million in the corresponding period in 2007, and consisted primarily of our lottery contracts in Connecticut and fixed odds betting terminals related to Global Draw contracts with its customers. Other intangible assets and software expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted primarily of licensed properties, lottery contracts in Connecticut and gaming contracts related to Global Draw. Cash flow from financing activities principally reflects the borrowings under the Credit Facility.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our contracts periodically renew and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations through renewal of our existing contracts or through the addition of new contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with each state contract. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced any difficulty in obtaining such bonds, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. While we are not aware of any reason to do so, if we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness, on or before maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. The evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting management in a timely fashion to all material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
