NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)
(1) Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2002 and the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months then ended, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2002 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain items in prior period's financial statements have been classified to conform with the current year presentation. The consolidated statements of operations reflect the reclassification of "amortization of service contract software" as a component of operating expenses, which amounts had been included in depreciation and amortization in previous filings.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002:

(3) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Interest Rate Agreements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS 138, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires entities to record all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in
8
each period in current operations or other comprehensive income (loss), based on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Company's credit facility, the Company is required to maintain interest rate hedges for a notional amount of not less than $140,000 for a period of not less than two years. In satisfaction of this requirement, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements in November 2000 which obligate the Company to pay a fixed LIBOR rate and entitle the Company to receive a variable LIBOR rate on an aggregate $140,000 notional amount of debt. The Company has structured these interest rate swap agreements and intends to structure all such future agreements to qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 133. Accumulated other comprehensive losses resulting from the changes in fair value of the interest rate hedge instruments were $7,249 and $5,388 at December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2002, the Company recorded a $2,806 charge and a $1,861 credit, respectively, to other comprehensive income (loss) for the change in fair value of the interest rate hedge instruments.
The following presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002:

(5) Debt
At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $26,664 available for borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). There were approximately $19,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Facility and approximately $19,336 in letters of credit were issued under the Facility at March 31, 2002. At December 31, 2001, Scientific Games' available borrowing capacity under the Facility was $30,960.
(6) Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, ("SFAS 141") and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142") and in August 2001 the FASB issued Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or completed after June 30, 2001. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 upon issuance. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires, commencing January 1, 2002, that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized. Instead, they will be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired by us in our business combinations completed before July 1, 2001 continued to be amortized through December 31, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires that we evaluate our existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a prior purchase business combination, and make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. We also adopted SFAS 142 and, accordingly, are required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first interim period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, we are required to test the intangible asset for impairment within the first interim period. Any impairment loss will be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period.
In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 require that we perform an assessment of whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount (as defined in SFAS 142) exceeds its fair value, we must perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, we must compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS 141, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. This second step is required to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of adoption. Any transitional impairment loss will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our consolidated statement of operations.
10
We had unamortized goodwill of approximately $195,255 and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of approximately $60,154 at December 31, 2001, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, we evaluated our intangible assets and determined that our right to operate our Connecticut OTBs and our trade name with net carrying amounts of approximately $11,681 and $30,093, respectively, at December 31, 2001, have indefinite useful lives and, accordingly, we ceased amortization as of January 1, 2002. In addition, as required by SFAS 142, we reclassified our employee work force intangible asset with a net carrying value of approximately $3,170, net of related deferred tax liabilities, to goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Amortization expense of these intangible assets and goodwill was approximately $15,909 for the year ended December 31, 2001. We also evaluated the remaining useful lives of our intangible assets that will continue to be amortized and have determined that no revision to the useful lives will be required. We completed our initial impairment review of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives during the first quarter of 2002 with no material adjustments to the December 31, 2001 balances for these assets. We expect to complete our initial impairment review of goodwill by the end of the second quarter 2002. Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting SFAS 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate whether any transitional impairment losses associated with our goodwill will be required to be recognized.
SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121"). However, SFAS 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business. However, SFAS 144 retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. SFAS 144 also amends ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a temporarily controlled subsidiary. We adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 for long-lived assets held for sale had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2002 because the impairment assessment under SFAS 144 is largely unchanged from SFAS 121. The provisions of this statement for assets held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated disposal activities and therefore, will depend on future actions initiated by management. As a result, we cannot determine the potential effects that adoption of SFAS 144 will have on our financial statements with respect to future disposal decisions, if any.

(7) Recent Developments
On March 19, 2002, we executed a letter of intent to purchase 65% of the equity of Serigrafica Chilena S.A., or SERCHI. The purchase price will be $3.9 million in cash payable at closing and up to $4.4 million in cash or stock payable upon the achievement of certain financial performance levels of SERCHI over the next four years. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including execution of definitive agreements and completion of due diligence.
On February 26, 2002, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire MDI Entertainment, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $26,000. On February 28, 2002, a class action suit on behalf of MDI's public stockholders was filed against multiple parties, including the Company and MDI, to enjoin the proposed acquisition on the grounds that the value of MDI's common stock is in excess of the amount provided for in the Company's letter of intent. On May 8, 2002, the Company and MDI announced that they had mutually and amicably terminated negotiations with respect to that contemplated acquisition. The announcement followed MDI's announcement that it had received a proposal from a third party to acquire a majority interest in MDI for $3.30 per share in cash. In light of this development, the Company believes that the lawsuit currently pending relating to the now terminated transaction is subject to dismissal.
(8) Financial Information for Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company's 121/2% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the "Notes") and Facility issued on September 6, 2000 in connection with the acquisition of SGHC, are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries").
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for (i) Scientific Games Corporation (the "Parent Company"), which includes the activities of Scientific Games Management Corporation, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iii) the wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and the non-wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") as of December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2002 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2002. The condensed consolidating financial information has been presented to show the nature of assets held, results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries assuming the guarantee structure of the Notes was in effect at the beginning of the periods presented. Separate financial statements for Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented based on management's determination that they would not provide additional information that is material to investors.
The condensed consolidating financial information reflects the investments of the Parent Company in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. In addition, corporate interest and administrative expenses have not been allocated to the subsidiaries.

Background
Effective April 27, 2001, we changed our corporate name from Autotote Corporation to Scientific Games Corporation. On January 29, 2002 we transferred the listing of our Class A common stock to the Nasdaq National Market from the American Stock Exchange and changed our trading symbol to "SGMS."
The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of March 31, 2002 and the results of its operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, compared to the same period in the prior year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, included in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant ticket and on-line 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 product line also includes software and hardware and support service for sports betting and credit card processing systems.
Our Pari-mutuel Group is comprised of our North American and international on-track, off-track and inter-track pari-mutuel services, simulcasting and communications services, and video gaming, as well as sales of pari-mutuel systems and equipment.
Our Venue Management Group is comprised of our Connecticut off-track betting operations, and our Dutch on-track and off-track betting operations.
Our Telecommunications Products Group is comprised of our prepaid cellular phone cards business.
Our revenues are derived from two principal sources: service revenues and sales revenues. Service revenues are earned pursuant to multi-year contracts to provide instant tickets and related services and on-line lottery and pari-mutuel wagering systems and services, or are derived from wagering by customers at facilities we own or lease. Sales revenues are derived from sales of prepaid phone cards and from the sale of wagering systems, equipment, and software licenses.
The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our pari-mutuel wagering business. 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. Wagering 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 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, instant ticket and prepaid phone card sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket
19
levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions. Operating results may also vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period.

Revenue Analysis
Lottery Group revenue of $60.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 improved $3.9 million from the same period in 2001. A $4.9 million increase in service revenue is attributable to: an incremental $4.5 million growth in our on-line lottery business due to the start-up of the on-line lotteries in Maine and Iowa in July 2001 and the start-up of the South Carolina Educational Lottery in January 2002, $1.2 million growth in our instant ticket lottery business due primarily to the start-up of the South Carolina Educational Lottery in December 2001, and $1.5 million growth in our cooperative lottery services business. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease resulting from the absence of revenue from the French lottery business that was sold in the second quarter of 2001 and a $1.0 million reduction in lottery equipment sales.
Pari-mutuel Group service revenue of $19.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $0.3 million from the same period in 2001 as revenue improvements in North American racing operations, NASRIN services and simulcasting services were partially offset by lower revenues in the French operations and the effect of the lower revenues in the German racing operations due to lower simulcasting services and the unfavorable impact of Euro exchange rates on revenues. Sales revenue of $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $8.3 million from the same period in 2001 due to completion in 2001 of a system and terminals sale to our customer in Turkey and non-recurring sales of terminals in 2001 to other foreign customers.
Venue Management Group service revenue of $14.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $0.7 million lower than in the same period in 2001, primarily reflecting lower Handle related revenue in the Connecticut OTB operations following the closing of the Milford jai-alai fronton.
Telecommunications Products Group sales revenue of $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $0.7 million lower than in the same period in 2001, reflecting continued competitive price reductions which offset a 23% growth in the volume of tickets produced.
Gross Profit Analysis
Gross profit of $43.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $4.9 million from the same period in 2001. This increase included $9.0 million in improved gross margins in the service businesses that resulted primarily from the new lotteries, and higher cooperative services revenues and North American pari-mutuel revenues. These improvements were partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease in gross profit reflecting the reduced sales of equipment and systems to foreign customers and the price related margin reductions in the Telecommunications Products Group.
The Lottery Group gross profit of $25.8 million, or 43% of revenues, increased $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $17.9 million, or 32% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. Gross margin improvements were realized as a result of the additions of the Maine and Iowa on-line lotteries in July 2001 and the start-up of the South Carolina Educational lotteries in December 2001 and January 2002, growth in cooperative services revenues, and cost reductions in instant ticket printing. These margin improvements were partially offset by a reduction in margins due to lower lottery equipment sales and the sale of the French lottery business in the second quarter of 2001.
Pari-mutuel Group gross profit of $9.1 million, or 43% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2002, decreased $1.9 million from $11.1 million, or 38% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. Of such margin reduction, $2.7 million, primarily attributable to lower systems and equipment
21
sales to foreign customers, was partially offset by $0.8 million in margin improvements on continued growth of the North American operations and the benefits from on-going cost reduction programs.
Venue Management Group gross profit of $4.6 million, or 30% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2002, increased $0.1 million from $4.5 million, or 29% of revenues, in the same period in 2001. This improvement primarily reflects the effect of the new operating agreement in The Netherlands, partially offset by Handle-related margin reductions due to the closing of a jai alai fronton in Connecticut.
The Telecommunications Products Group gross profit of $3.8 million, or 35% of revenues, in the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $1.1 million from $4.9 million, or 43% of revenues, in the same period in 2001 as a 23% increase in sales volume was offset by continued competitive price reductions.
Expense Analysis
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $14.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $0.2 million lower than in the same period in 2001 primarily as a result of the sale of the French lottery business in the second quarter of 2001.
Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $3.2 million from $13.6 million in the same period in 2001. Depreciation expense was $0.1 million higher in the three months ended March 31, 2002 than in the same period in 2001, primarily as a result of higher depreciation on new computer systems and terminals acquired in connection with the start-up of the new on-line and instant ticket lotteries. Amortization expense was $3.3 million lower in the three months ended March 31, 2002 than in the same period in 2001, primarily as a result of the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, and the July 1, 2001 reclassifications of previously estimated acquired intangible assets which were made as a result of the finalization of the SGHC purchase price allocation.
Interest expense of $11.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002 decreased $2.1 million from $13.6 million in the same period in 2001 as a result of lower average outstanding debt levels and lower average interest rates.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense was $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2002. The expense primarily reflects foreign and state taxes, partially offset by a $0.4 million reversal of deferred taxes provided in connection with the acquisition of SGHC. The income tax benefit of $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 primarily reflects a $1.1 million reversal of deferred taxes provided in connection with the acquisition of SGHC and an anticipated recovery of previously paid federal taxes, partially offset by federal alternative minimum tax, state taxes and foreign taxes. The deferred tax benefit was reduced in the three months ended March 31, 2002, reflecting the above-mentioned changes in accounting for acquired intangible assets. No current tax benefit has been recognized on domestic operating losses in either period.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital
In order to finance the acquisition of SGHC and refinance substantially all of our then existing indebtedness, we conducted a series of financings in September 2000. As a result, our capital structure changed significantly and, among other things, we are a significantly leveraged company. As a result of the acquisition and debt refinancing, we have total indebtedness including capital lease obligations outstanding of approximately $441.8 million at March 31, 2002 and had total indebtedness of $439.7 million at December 31, 2001. We have also recorded a substantial increase in 2000 in goodwill
22
and other intangible assets in connection with the SGHC acquisition and a corresponding increase in amortization expense through December 31, 2001.
Our financing arrangements impose certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries' operations, including, at March 31, 2002, the maintenance of a Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement governing our senior credit facilities, of 1.40; a Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as so defined, of 4.50; a Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, as so defined, of 2.00; and Minimum Consolidated Net Worth, as so defined, of $42.8 million. Each of these financial tests will become progressively more stringent during the term of the credit agreement. In addition, our financing arrangements also restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities, by, among other things, limiting our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem capital stock, make certain investments, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, and create certain liens and other encumbrances on our assets. In March 2001, as a result of the financial performance of SGHC prior to its acquisition by us, certain transitional and operational matters occurring through December 31, 2000, and the timing of certain anticipated capital expenditures and associated borrowings in 2001, management and our lenders amended certain limitations to be less restrictive. Among other changes, the credit facility was modified so that the planned step-downs in fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios were delayed by up to nine months through September 30, 2002. While we were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2002 and expect to continue to remain in compliance over the next 12 months, no assurances can be provided that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to continue to meet the covenant requirements beyond 12 months.
Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum lease obligations, and they have not changed materially since December 31, 2001.
Our revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2006, provides for borrowings up to $65.0 million to be used for working capital and general corporate purpose loans and for letters of credit. At March 31, 2002, we had outstanding borrowings of $19.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $19.3 million under this facility leaving us with a total availability of $26.7 million as compared to $31.0 million at December 31, 2001. Our ability to continue to borrow under the revolving credit facility will depend on remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including maintenance of specified financial covenants. Presently, we have not sought and, therefore, do not have any other financing commitments.
Our convertible preferred stock requires dividend payments at a rate of 6% per annum. To date, we have satisfied the dividend requirement using additional shares of preferred stock. The terms of the convertible preferred stock provide us with the flexibility to satisfy the dividend in cash commencing on September 30, 2002, the date of the ninth quarterly dividend, subject to bank approval. We expect that we will continue to make such payments in-kind; accordingly, this obligation has not been reflected in the table above.
Our pari-mutuel wagering and on-line 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 Operating ExpensesServices in the consolidated statements of operations. Historically, the revenues we derive from our service contracts have exceeded the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations under these pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts. 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
23
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 on-line 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 obtain additional financing 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. For fiscal 2002, we anticipate that capital expenditures and software expenditures will be approximately $27 million. However, the actual level of expenditures will ultimately depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. The amount of capital expenditures in fiscal 2003 and beyond will 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. We presently have no commitments to replace our existing terminal base and our obligation to upgrade the terminals is discretionary. 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 quantities to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations. Our terminal and software license sales generally reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, the timing of these transactions could impact our short term liquidity as we acquire inventory in anticipation of fulfilling our orders and collect on the resulting receivables.
At March 31, 2002, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $31.7 million compared to $43.6 million at December 31, 2001. Our available cash and borrowing capacities fluctuate principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems contracts, repayment of our outstanding debt and changes in our working capital position. The decrease in our available cash and borrowing capacity from the levels at December 31, 2001 principally reflects the use of cash on hand to partially fund our wagering systems and other capital expenditures, to reduce accounts payable and accrued liabilities and to make a semi-annual payment of interest accrued on our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Of this amount, $7.2 million was provided from operations and $16.5 million was used as a result of changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from (i) increases in accounts receivables due to the new on-line and instant ticket lottery customers and the timing of collections as compared to year-end, (ii) decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to payments related to the new lottery accounts and obligations incurred in connection with the acquisition of SGHC, and (iii) a decrease in accrued interest as the result of the semi-annual interest payment on the 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes. In this period, we invested $6.8 million for wagering systems and capital expenditures, $5.1 million in software expenditures and other investments, and repaid $2.2 million on long-term debt. These cash expenditures were funded primarily with net cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand, $4.3 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $1.2 million proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
24
A significant portion of our cash flows from operations must be used to pay our interest expense and repay our indebtedness, which will reduce the funds that would otherwise be available to us for our operations and capital expenditures. Interest expense on our outstanding debt was approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 including approximately $0.6 million of non-cash charges. Approximately one-third of our debt is in variable rate instruments. Consequently, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a 0.125% change in the interest rates associated with our unhedged variable rate debt will result in a change of approximately $187,000 per year in our interest expense assuming no change in our outstanding borrowings. To reduce the risks associated with fluctuations in the market interest rates and in response to the requirements of our credit facility, we entered into three interest rate swap contracts for an aggregate notional amount of $140 million. These interest rate swaps obligate us to pay a fixed LIBOR rate and entitle us to receive a variable LIBOR rate on an aggregate $140 million notional amount of debt thereby creating the equivalent of fixed rate debt until May 30, 2003. We have structured these interest rate swap agreements and we intend to structure future interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge accounting pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 133. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable rate credit facility obligations are reported as a component of stockholders' equity. These amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment of the hedged credit facility obligation in the same period in which the related interest affects operations.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our lottery contracts periodically renew and we cannot assure you 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. Because of financial and economic events that have occurred this past year, such as the September 11 attack, the bond market is experiencing unusual contraction, and we cannot assure you 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, including our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on or before their maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our revolving credit facility and our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Forward-Looking Statements
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "estimate," "intend," "continue," "believe," "except" or "anticipate," or the negatives thereof, variations thereon 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 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" but may be found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management's reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we believe that the plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such plans or objectives may not be achieved.
25
Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:
Actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, and it applies to all entities. We are required to adopt SFAS 143, effective for calendar year 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 143 to have a material impact on our future consolidated operations or financial position, as we are now constituted.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS 145 rescinds Statement 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Opinion 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses because Statement 4 has been rescinded. Statement 44 was issued to establish accounting requirements for the effects of transition to the provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. Because the transition has been completed, Statement 44 is no longer necessary.
SFAS 145 amends Statement 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This amendment is consistent with the FASB's goal of requiring similar accounting treatment for transactions that have similar economic effects. SFAS 145 also makes technical
26
corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances, they may change accounting practice. We are required to adopt SFAS 145, effective for calendar year 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 145 to have a material impact on our future consolidated operations or financial position, as we are now constituted.
Recent Developments
On June 5, 2002, we completed the purchase of 65% of the equity of Serigrafica Chilena S.A., or SERCHI. The purchase price was $3.9 million, paid at closing, plus up to $4.4 million in cash or stock payable upon the achievement of certain financial performance levels of SERCHI over the next four years.
On February 26, 2002, we executed a letter of intent to acquire MDI Entertainment, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $26 million. On February 28, 2002, a class action suit on behalf of MDI's public stockholders was filed against multiple parties, including us and MDI, to enjoin the proposed acquisition on the grounds that the value of MDI's common stock is in excess of the amount provided for in our letter of intent. On May 8, 2002, we and MDI announced that we had mutually and amicably terminated negotiations with respect to that contemplated acquisition. The announcement followed MDI's announcement that it had received a proposal from a third party to acquire a majority interest in MDI for $3.30 per share in cash. In light of this development, we believe that the lawsuit currently pending relating to our now terminated transaction is subject to dismissal.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our products and services are sold to a diverse group of customers throughout the world. As such, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of changes in general economic conditions, sources of supply, competition, foreign exchange rates, tax reform, litigation and regulatory developments. The diversity and breadth of our products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes in any event would materially affect our financial position. Additionally, as a result of the diversity of our customer base, we do not consider ourselves exposed to concentration of credit risks. These risks are further minimized by setting credit limits, ongoing monitoring of customer account balances, and assessment of the customers' financial strengths.
Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Inflationary pressures would be significant to our business if raw materials used for instant lottery ticket production, prepaid phone card production or terminal manufacturing are significantly affected. Available supply from the paper and electronics industries tends to fluctuate and prices may be affected by supply.
For fiscal 2001, inflation was not a significant factor in our results of operations, and we were not impacted by significant pricing changes in our costs, except for personnel related expenditures. We are unable to forecast the prices or supply of substrate, component parts or other raw materials in 2002, but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially affect our operating results.
In certain limited cases, our lottery contracts with our customers contain provisions to adjust for inflation on an annual basis, but we cannot be assured that this adjustment would cover raw material price increases or other costs of services. While we have long-term and generally satisfactory relationships with most of our suppliers, we also believe alternative sources to meet our raw material and production needs are available.
In the normal course of business, we our exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. At December 31, 2001, approximately one-third of our debt was in fixed rate instruments. We consider the fair value of all financial instruments to be not materially different from their carrying value at year-end. The following
27
table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

In November 2000, to reduce the risks associated with fluctuations in market interest rates and in response to requirements in the Facility (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K), we entered into three interest rate swap contracts for an aggregate notional amount of $140,000. The following table provides information about our derivative financial instruments. The table presents notional amounts and weighted-average swap rates by contractual maturity dates. We do not hold any market risk instruments for trading purposes.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. Assets and liabilities outside the United States are primarily located in the United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, France and Austria. Our investment in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term investments. Accordingly, we do not hedge these net investments. Translation gains and losses historically have not been material. We manage our foreign currency exchange risks on a global basis by one or more of the following: (i) securing payment from our customers in U.S. dollars, when possible, (ii) utilizing borrowings denominated in foreign currency, and (iii) entering into foreign currency exchange contracts. In addition, a significant portion of the cost attributable to our foreign operations is incurred in the local currencies. We believe that a 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates would not have a significant adverse effect on our net earnings or cash flows. We may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency exchange or other contracts to hedge the risk associated with certain firm sales commitments, anticipated revenue streams and certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Our cash and cash equivalents and investments are in high-quality securities placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits our exposure to concentration of credit risks.

No significant changes have occurred with respect to legal proceedings as disclosed in Part I, Item 3, of our 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as follows:
On February 26, 2002, the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire MDI Entertainment, Inc. in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $26,000. On February 28, 2002, a class action suit on behalf of MDI's public stockholders was filed against multiple parties, including the Company and MDI, to enjoin the proposed acquisition on the grounds that the value of MDI's common stock is in excess of the amount provided for in the Company's letter of intent. On May 8, 2002, the Company and MDI announced that they had mutually and amicably terminated negotiations with respect to that contemplated acquisition. The announcement followed MDI's announcement that it had received a proposal from a third party to acquire a majority interest in MDI for $3.30 per share in cash. In light of this development, the Company believes that the lawsuit currently pending relating to the now terminated transaction is subject to dismissal.
