Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006, the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, we or the Company) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2006 and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 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 the Companys 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income per share available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006:

The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of its $275,000, 0.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2024 (the Convertible Debentures), which the Company sold in December 2004, is approximately 9,450. The Convertible Debentures provide for net share settlement upon exercise and the Company has purchased a bond hedge to mitigate the potential dilution from conversion. Such shares were excluded from the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 calculation, as they were anti-dilutive.

(2) Acquisitions
On March 22, 2006, the Company acquired the online lottery assets of Swedish firm EssNet AB (EssNet) which specializes in online lottery systems and terminals to run online lotteries, sports betting, instant tickets and mobile games on a national level. EssNets lottery customers include seven states in Germany, the national lotteries of Hungary and Norway, Golden Casket and Tattersalls Lottery in Australia, and other national lotteries. The Company expects that its acquisition of EssNet will enable it to further expand into the European lottery market. The purchase price was approximately $60 million in cash. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The operating results of EssNet are included in the Lottery Systems segment and have been included in the Companys statements of operations since the date of acquisition. The majority of the preliminary estimate of goodwill of approximately $75 million from the acquisition of EssNet is deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, other assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction, such as certain intangible assets, property and equipment, current assets and liabilities were included in the preliminary purchase price allocation. The acquisition of EssNet was not material to the Companys operations.
In conjunction with the purchase of EssNet, the Company has a plan to close certain operating locations as part of the integration of EssNet. The Company has recorded approximately $34 million in liabilities, primarily related to involuntary employee terminations, termination of leases and termination of service contracts that will result from the integration.
(3) Operating Segment and Geographic Information
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS No. 131), defines operating segments to be those components of a business for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by management in making operating decisions and in assessing performance. SFAS No. 131 further requires that segment information be presented consistently with the basis and manner in which management internally disaggregates financial information for the purposes of assisting in making internal operating decisions.
In late 2005, we determined that our previously reported segments consisting of Lottery, Pari-mutuel, Venue Management and Telecommunications Products no longer reflected the way we manage the business. Beginning this quarter, we are reporting our business in three segments Printed Products, Lottery Systems and Diversified Gaming. The Printed Products segment includes the instant lottery ticket business and the pre-paid phone card business (formerly the Telecommunications Product Group). The Lottery Systems segment includes our online lottery business. The Diversified Gaming segment includes the racing systems business (formerly the Pari-mutuel Group) and the off-track wagering business (formerly the Venue Management Group). All prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the new structure.
The Printed Products Group provides instant ticket and related services that includes ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. It also provides lotteries with over 80 licensed brand products. Its printed products include prepaid phone cards for cellular phone service providers. The Lottery Systems Group offers online, instant and video lottery products and online and instant ticket validation systems. Its business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance for these products. The Diversified Gaming Group provides computerized wagering systems and services such as race simulcasting and communications services and telephone and internet account wagering to the pari-mutuel wagering industry. It owns and operates licensed pari-mutuel wagering facilities in Connecticut, Maine and the Netherlands.

(4) Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 of 30% was determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which was less than the United States statutory rate due to lower tax rates applicable to our operations outside the United States and the tax benefit of the 2004 debt restructuring. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately 30%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to benefits from the tax restructuring plan implemented in 2004.

(8) Long-Term Debt
On March 31, 2006, the Company amended (the Amendment) its existing credit agreement dated as of December 23, 2004, as amended (the 2004 Credit Agreement) to provide for an additional $100 million senior secured term loan (the Term Loan C), to increase our existing revolving credit facility by $50 million, and to make certain other changes to the 2004 Credit Agreement (the 2004 Credit Agreement and the Amendment are collectively referred to as the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). This Amendment became effective on April 3, 2006. The proceeds from the Term Loan C were used to finance the acquisition of The Global Draw, Limited, a supplier of fixed odds betting terminals and systems and interactive betting systems, and certain related companies. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan C will vary, depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio, from 75 basis points to 150 basis points above LIBOR for eurocurrency loans and from zero basis points to 50 basis points above the higher of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, for base rate loans. We paid a commitment fee with respect to the Term Loan C commitment from the effective date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement until the date of funding or termination of such commitment at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the Term Loan C commitment. The Company paid $0.4 million to certain financial institutions for the Amendment plus legal fees. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will terminate on December 23, 2009.
Effective April 3, 2006, the Company had approximately $177,123 available for borrowing under the Companys revolving credit facility and $100,000 available under the new Term Loan C, both of which are under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. There were $66,000 of borrowings and $56,877 in letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the Companys available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was $219,699.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Companys ability, and the ability of certain of the Companys subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants that are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:
A maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75, which will be reduced according to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 3.50. Consolidated Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Companys indebtedness determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.
A minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 until December 2009. Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for the Companys four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) EBITDA to (y) the sum of (i) total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense, (ii) scheduled payments of principal on indebtedness, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) all income taxes paid in cash. In certain cases, we have a limited ability to reduce the amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges used in the calculation.
A maximum Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio of 2.00, which will be reduced according to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 1.75. Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Companys indebtedness, the 2004 Notes and the Convertible Debentures determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.
A minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.50 until December 2009. Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for the Companys four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) EBITDA to (y) the total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense.
12
For purposes of the foregoing limitations, Consolidated EBITDA means the sum of (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense with respect to all outstanding indebtedness, (iii) provisions for taxes based on income, (iv) total
13
depreciation expense, (v) total amortization expense and (vi) certain adjustments, in each case for the period being measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.
The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 2006.

(10) Pension Plans
The Company has two funded defined benefit pension plans. It has a defined benefit plan for its U.S. based union employees. Retirement benefits under this plan are based upon the number of years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years for the majority of the employees. It also has a defined benefit plan for U.K. based employees. Retirement benefits under the U.K. plan are based on an employees average compensation over the two years preceding retirement. The Companys policy is to fund the minimum contribution permissible by the respective tax authorities. The Company estimates that the amount to be funded in year 2006 will approximate $2,500.
The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all U.S. based employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Company contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors. The Company has a 401(k) plan for all union employees which does not provide for Company contributions.
The following table sets forth the combined amount of net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2006:

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, that it expected to contribute approximately $2,500 to its defined benefit pension plans in 2006. As of March 31, 2006, approximately $500 and $10 of contributions to the U.K. Plan and U.S. Plan, respectively, have been made. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $1,990 of contributions to its defined benefit pension plans, in 2006, for a total of $2,500.
(11) Stockholders Equity
At March 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 2,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized for issuance, including 229 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 1 authorized share of Series B Preferred Stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.
(12) Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted, using the modified prospective application, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and shares purchased under an employee stock purchase plan (if certain parameters are not met), to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values and did not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123), as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. SFAS 123(R) did not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to Statement of Position (SOP) 93-6, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Under the modified prospective method our prior interim period and prior fiscal year financial statements will not reflect any restated amounts for the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Upon our adoption of SFAS 123(R), we began recording compensation cost related to the continued vesting of all stock options that remained unvested as of January 1, 2006, as well as for all stock options granted, modified or cancelled after our adoption date. The compensation cost to be recorded is based on the fair value at the grant date. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have an effect on our recognition of compensation expense relating to the vesting of restricted stock grants.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), cash flows resulting from the tax benefit related to equity-based compensation was presented in our operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-15, Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option, (EITF 00-15). SFAS 123(R) superseded EITF 00-15, amended SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and requires tax benefits relating to excess equity-based compensation deductions to be prospectively presented in our statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.
The effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) on our income from operations, income before income taxes, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, net cash provided by financing activities, and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006, is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Prior to our adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for equity-based compensation under the provisions and related interpretations of Accounting Principles Board (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Accordingly, we were not required to record compensation expense when stock options were granted to our employees as long as the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of the stock at the grant date. Also, we were not required to record compensation expense when we issued common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan as long as the purchase price was not less than 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. In October 1995, FASB issued SFAS 123, which allowed us to continue to follow the guidelines of APB 25, but required pro-forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if we had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure an Amendment of FASB 123, which provided alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for equity-based employee compensation. We continued to account for equity-based compensation under the provisions of APB 25 using the intrinsic value method.

Had compensation cost for our equity-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, our net income and net income per share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company grants stock options to employees and directors under the Companys equity incentive plans at not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options granted over the last several years have been exercisable in four or five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Companys stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of publicly traded options. The weighted average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table:

The computation of the expected volatility is based on historical daily stock price over a term less than the expected term. A timeframe was used that provided a better representation of the current and future expected volatility. Expected life is based on annual historical employee exercise behavior of option grants with similar vesting periods and option expiration data. The risk-fee interest rate is based on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. There are no dividends to be paid.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we recognized equity-based compensation expense of approximately $3,700 related to the vesting of stock options and the related tax benefit of approximately $1,700. At March 31, 2006, the Company had 2,600 options and restricted stock units available to be granted under its equity-based compensation plans.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In 2002, the Company adopted, and its stockholders approved, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) under which a total of up to 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock may be purchased by eligible employees under offerings made by the Company each January 1 and July 1. Employees participate through payroll deductions up to a maximum of 15% of eligible compensation. The term of each offering period is six months and shares are purchased on the last day of the offering period at a discount on the stocks market value. Under an amendment to the ESPP adopted in 2005, the purchase price for offering periods beginning in 2006 will represent a 15% discount on the closing price of the stock on the last day of the offering period (rather than a 15% discount on the lower of (x) the closing price of the stock on the first day of the offering period and (y) the closing price of the stock on the last day of the offering period). No shares were issued under the ESPP during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
(13) Litigation
On March 9, 2006, we received a request for information relating to the licensing of our operation of several earth stations in our racing communications business from the enforcement bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We conducted an internal review which determined that our racing subsidiary was not in full compliance with FCC licensing requirements. We engaged special FCC counsel to assist us in ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements and responding to the FCCs inquiry. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this inquiry at this time.
On April 28, 2006, we agreed to settle the previously reported patent litigation with Oberthur Gaming Technologies Corporation (OGT). As part of the settlement, the parties dismissed litigation in Georgia federal court and Munich, Germany. In addition, on April 28, 2006 we obtained a non-exclusive, pre-paid license to the patents of OGT for a one-time payment of $1,750.
(14) Financial Information for Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The 2004 Notes, the Convertible Debentures and the 2004 Credit Agreement and the Amendment are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the Companys 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries).
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for (i) Scientific Games Corporation (the Parent Company), (ii) the 100% owned Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iii) the 100% owned foreign subsidiaries and the non-100% owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2006. 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 2004 Credit Agreement and the Amendment, the Convertible Debentures and the 2004 Notes were in effect at the beginning of the periods presented. Separate financial statements for Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented based on managements 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. Corporate interest and administrative expenses have not been allocated to the subsidiaries.
Scientific Games Management Corporation has been reclassified from the Parent Company to the Guarantor Subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

(15) Subsequent Events
On April 5, 2006, the Company acquired certain assets of The Shoreline Star Greyhound Park and Simulcast Facility (Shoreline) located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The purchase price was approximately $12,000 plus certain future contingent payments and will be financed under the Companys existing credit facility. The Company expects that the acquisition of Shoreline will allow it to maximize the potential of its Connecticut operations. Additionally, the deal eliminates existing restrictions on the Companys ability to simulcast live racing in certain portions of the state.
On April 20, 2006, the Company acquired The Global Draw Limited and certain related companies (Global Draw). Global Draw is a leading United Kingdom supplier of fixed odds betting terminals and systems, and interactive sports betting systems. The purchase price was approximately $183,000 (subject to adjustment), and it may pay an earn-out to the principal selling shareholder, as well as contingent bonuses to certain members of the management team, based on the financial performance of the business. The aggregate amount of such payments will total one-third of an amount equal to Global Draws EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2008 multiplied by a specific price multiple depending on the level of EBITDA earned. In accordance with current accounting standards, such payments made to selling shareholders will be capitalized as additional purchase price and such payments made to management will be expensed. The Company expects that the acquisition of Global Draw will strengthen its role in the worldwide sports betting and video lottery business. The acquisition will be recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The Company has financed the acquisition through a combination of borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility and $100,000 from the new term loan. Global Draw will be included in the Diversified Gaming segment beginning in the second quarter of 2006.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of March 31, 2006 and the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, 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, 2005, included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In late 2005, we determined that our previously reported segments consisting of Lottery, Pari-mutuel, Venue Management and Telecommunications Products no longer reflected the way we manage the business. Beginning this quarter, we will report our business in three segments Printed Products, Lottery Systems and Diversified Gaming. The Printed Products segment includes the instant lottery ticket business and the pre-paid phone card business (formerly the Telecommunications Product Group). The Lottery Systems segment includes our online lottery business. The Diversified Gaming segment includes the racing systems business (formerly the Pari-mutuel Group) and the off-track wagering business (formerly the Venue Management Group). The discussion below and the results of operations for our business units in this Managements Discussion and Analysis are presented under the new organizational structure. All prior period amounts have been restated to conform to the new structure.
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. 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.
Operating results may also vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period.
Printed Products Group
We provide instant tickets, related services and prepaid phone cards. Instant tickets 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 segment provides lotteries with over 80 licensed brand products, including NASCAR®, Mandalay Bay®, National Basketball Association®, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Hasbro®, Corvette®, World Poker Tour® and The World Series of Poker®. This segment 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.
Lottery Systems Group
We are a global marketing and technology leader in the lottery industry. We offer online, instant and video lottery products and online and instant ticket validation systems.
Our lottery systems business primarily includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance for these products. This business also includes software and hardware and support services for sports betting and operation of credit card processing systems. In the United States, we typically provide the necessary equipment, software and maintenance services pursuant to long-term contracts that typically have a minimum initial term of five years, under which we are generally paid a fee equal to a percentage of all dollars wagered on lottery tickets. Our U.S. systems contracts typically contain multiple renewal options that generally have been exercised by our customers. Internationally, we typically sell terminals and systems to lottery authorities and provide ongoing fee-based support under long-term contracts. We have contracts to operate online
27
lottery systems for 17 of the 44 U.S. jurisdictions (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) that operate online lotteries and we believe we are the second largest online lottery provider in Europe.
Diversified Gaming Group
We are a worldwide provider of computerized wagering systems to the pari-mutuel wagering industry. We provide our systems and services to horse and greyhound racetracks, OTB facilities, casinos, jai alai frontons, telephone and internet account wagering operators and other establishments where pari-mutuel wagering is permitted. In addition, we are a provider of ancillary services to the industry, such as race simulcasting and telecommunications services and telephone and internet account wagering.
We believe our systems processed more than 50% of the estimated $19 billion in pari-mutuel wagering conducted on racing in North America in 2005. In our North American pari-mutuel business, we enter into service contracts, typically with an initial term of five years, pursuant to which we are paid a percentage of all wagers processed by our wagering systems, and we receive additional fees for our ancillary services, on either a per event or a monthly subscription basis. In most international markets, we sell our pari-mutuel wagering systems and terminals to pari-mutuel operators.
We have the right to operate in perpetuity substantially all off-track pari-mutuel wagering in Connecticut (with the exception of OTB operations at two greyhound racetracks), subject to our compliance with certain licensing requirements. Our Connecticut operations consist of 11 OTB facilities, including video simulcasting at two teletheaters and four other branches, and telephone account wagering for customers in 25 states. We are also a licensed operator of one OTB location in the state of Maine and provide facilities management services to four non-company owned OTBs.
We have the right to operate all on-track and off-track pari-mutuel wagering in the Netherlands under a license granted by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture which extends through June 2008. We currently conduct operations in 28 OTB locations and four racetracks throughout the Netherlands.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2006, Global Draw will be included in the Diversified Gaming Group.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
The following analysis compares our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Overview
Revenue Analysis
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total revenue was $208.1 million compared to $184.6 million, an improvement of $23.5 million or 13% as compared to the prior quarter. Our service revenue was $177.0 million compared to $155.8 million in 2005, an increase of $21.2 million, or 14%. The increase was attributable to strong sales of instant lottery tickets as well as the addition of new Lottery Systems and Printed Products contracts, partially offset by the loss of approximately $2.5 million of revenues from the Florida online lottery contract, which ended in January 2005 and a decrease in Diversified Gaming Handle in the first quarter of 2006. Our sales revenue was $31.2 million compared to $28.8 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of $2.4 million, or 8%. This increase was primarily due to increased system sales in Europe in the first quarter of 2006 versus the first quarter of 2005.
Expense Analysis
Cost of services of $94.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $9.7 million or 11% higher than in 2005. This increase is primarily related to the addition of new Lottery Systems and Printed Products contracts. Cost of sales of $24.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $4.3 million or 21% higher than in 2005 due to higher sales revenues in Lottery Systems and Diversified Gaming.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $32.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $4.7 million or 17% higher than for 2005. This increase was primarily related to a $4.5 million non-cash charge for stock based compensation expense in 2006 associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and our restricted stock units. Excluding the non-cash charge taken for stock compensation expense, our selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2006 remained
28
flat over the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of cost cutting measures initiated in the second half of 2005, offset by $0.9 million in severance costs paid in the first quarter of 2006 in conjunction with our reduction in force.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $4.8 million or 33% from 2005, primarily due to the addition of new Lottery Systems and Printed Products contracts.
Interest expense of $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $0.8 million or 12% from 2005, primarily attributable to higher market rates on our floating rate debt and increased borrowing for our purchase of EssNet.
Equity in net income and losses of joint ventures reflects our share of the net income of the Italian joint venture in connection with the operation of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery. In the first quarter of 2006, our share of the Italian consortiums net income totaled $1.7 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2005. The income in the first quarter of 2006 reflects the continued growth of instant ticket sales in Italy.
Income tax expense was $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and $9.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 was 30.0% for each period.
Segment Overview
Printed Products
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total revenue for Printed Products was $107.7 million compared to $102.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $5.6 million, or 5%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, service revenue for Printed Products was $93.6 million compared to $83.5 million in the corresponding period in the prior year quarter, an increase of $10.1 million, or 12%. The increase was attributable to strong sales of instant lottery tickets, partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in licensed games as a result of the change in the mix of games in process during the first quarter of 2006.
Printed Products sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $14.1 million compared to $18.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, a decrease of $4.5 million, or 24%. The decrease was the result of a $2.2 million decline in phone card sales due to a change in product mix and $1.7 million of German instant ticket sales now being classified as service revenue because of the expansion of the services being offered in the German markets
Cost of services of $46.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $3.1 million or 7% higher than in 2005. This increase is due to higher operating costs as a result of the addition of new customers and higher revenue in the quarter and $0.4 million in severance costs paid in the first quarter of 2006 in conjunction with our reduction in force in the U.K. These increases were partially offset by lower costs because of the mix of licensed games in process during the first quarter of 2006. Cost of sales of $10.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $2.7 million or 20% lower than in 2005 due to a 24% decrease in sales revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $11.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $1.0 million or 9% higher than in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily the result of start-up costs for the German cooperative services business and increased headcount in Printed Products related to new games, such as Major League Baseball, launching in 2006.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $0.8 million or 19%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to the amortization of deferred installation costs of new Printed Products contracts.
Lottery Systems
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total revenue for Lottery Systems was $67.4 million compared to $49.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $17.7 million, or 36%. Lottery Systems service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $52.7 million compared to $39.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $12.8 million, or 32%. The increase was primarily due to a strong demand for online lottery tickets, the addition of new Lottery Systems contracts, partially offset by the loss of approximately $2.5 million of revenues on the Florida online lottery contract, which ended in January 2005.
Lottery Systems sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $14.7 million compared to $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $4.9 million, or 50%. The increase was due to higher sales of lottery systems and terminals in Europe in the first quarter of 2006.
29
Cost of services of $27.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $6.9 million or 34% higher than in 2005. This increase is due to higher operating costs as a result of the addition of new customers and higher revenue in the quarter, partially offset by reduced operating costs on the Florida online lottery contract. Cost of sales of $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $5.2 million or 83% higher than in 2005 due to a 50% increase in sales revenues in the first quarter of 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $0.7 million or 11% higher than in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This increase is primarily the result of $0.9 million in severance costs paid in the first quarter of 2006 in conjunction with our reduction in force, partially offset by cost cutting measures initiated in the second half of 2005.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $4.0 million or 63%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to the amortization of deferred installation costs of new Lottery Systems contracts.
Diversified Gaming
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, total revenue for Diversified Gaming was $33.0 million compared to $32.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1%. Diversified Gaming service revenue for the quarter ended 2006 was $30.7 million compared to $ 32.4 million from the quarter ended 2005, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 5%. The decrease in service revenues reflects lower Handle in the domestic and foreign pari-mutuel business, partially offset by the addition of the Maine OTB operation and higher non-wagering services. We believe the trend in reduced wagering will continue in the future.
The Diversified Gaming sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $ 2.3 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior fiscal quarter an increase of $1.9 million. The increase was due to increased system sales in Europe in the first quarter of 2006. Pari-mutuel system sales usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis.
Cost of services of $21.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $0.4 million or 2% lower than in 2005. This decrease is due to lower Handle and lower operating costs as a result of the integration of four European racing operations into our European racing center in Essen, Germany and , partially offset by the addition of the Maine OTB and additional costs for non-wagering services. Cost of sales of $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $1.8 million higher than in 2005 due to increased sales revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $1.5 million or 38% lower than in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to cost cutting measures initiated in the second half of 2005.
Depreciation and amortization expense of $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased $0.1 million or 2%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to the increased depreciation resulting from the Quantum Data Centers.
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, 2005.

On March 31, 2006, we amended (the Amendment) our existing credit agreement dated as of December 23, 2004, as amended (the 2004 Credit Agreement) to provide for an additional $100 million senior secured term loan (the Term Loan C), to increase our existing revolving credit facility by $50 million, and to make certain other changes to the 2004 Credit Agreement (the 2004 Credit Agreement and the Amendment are collectively referred to as the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). This Amendment became effective on April 3, 2006. The proceeds from the Term Loan C were used to finance acquisition of The Global Draw, Ltd., a supplier of fixed odds betting terminals and systems and interactive betting systems, and certain related companies. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan C will vary, depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio, from 75 basis points to 150 basis points above LIBOR for eurocurrency loans and from zero basis points to 50 basis points above the higher of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, for base rate loans. We pay a commitment fee with respect to the Term Loan C commitment from the effective date of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement until the date of funding or termination of such commitment at
30
the rate of 0.25% per annum on the Term Loan C commitment. We paid $0.4 million to certain financial institutions for the Amendment plus legal fees.
Effective April 3, 2006, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consisted of a $300.0 million revolving credit facility due 2009, a $98.8 million Term Loan B due 2009, and an undrawn $100.0 million Term Loan C due 2009. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, which are described below. At March 31, 2006, approximately 26% of our debt, representing approximately $168.4 million of indebtedness, was in variable rate instruments. Consequently, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a 0.125% change in interest rates associated with our unhedged variable rate debt would result in a change of approximately $0.2 million per year in our interest expense assuming no change in our outstanding borrowings. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed by the Company from time to time until maturity. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will terminate on December 23, 2009. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to minimum dollar requirements.
Interest rates with respect to borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Term Loan B under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will vary, depending upon our consolidated leverage ratio, from 125 basis points to 200 basis points above LIBOR for eurocurrency loans and from 25 basis points to 100 basis points above the higher of (i) the prime rate of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. or (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, for base rate loans. During the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we pay our lenders a fee equal to the product of 0.50% per annum and the available portion of the revolving credit facility.
Our financing arrangements as of March 31, 2006 impose certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries operations.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Companys ability, and the ability of certain of the Companys subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. Additionally, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants that are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:
A maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75, which will be reduced according to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 3.50. Consolidated Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Companys indebtedness determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.
A minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 until December 2009. Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for the Companys four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) Consolidated EBITDA to (y) the sum of (i) total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense, (ii) scheduled payments of principal on indebtedness, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) all income taxes paid in cash. In certain cases, we have a limited ability to reduce the amount of Consolidated Fixed Charges used in the calculation.
A maximum Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio of 2.00, which will be reduced according to the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 1.75. Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Companys indebtedness, the 2004 Notes and the Convertible Debentures determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.
A minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.50 until December 2009. Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for the Companys four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) EBITDA to (y) the total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense.
For purposes of the foregoing limitations, Consolidated EBITDA means the sum of (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense with respect to all outstanding indebtedness, (iii) provisions for taxes based on income, (iv) total depreciation expense, (v) total amortization expense and (vi) certain adjustments, in each case for the period being
31
measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.
The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of March 31, 2006.
Effective April 3, 2006, we had $66.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $56.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving us with a total availability of $177.1 million as compared to $219.7 million at December 31, 2005. We also had $100.0 million available under our undrawn Term Loan C. Our ability to borrow under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will depend on our remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including the maintenance of the specified financial covenants.
In August 2005, we paid cash of $8.1 million, including a $0.5 million redemption premium, to redeem all of the remaining 12 ½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010.
Our online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel wagering 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 Expenses Cost of Services in the consolidated statements of income. Historically, the revenues we derive from our online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel wagering contracts have 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 online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel wagering 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. 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. 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 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.
At March 31, 2006, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $164.3 million compared to $258.6 million at December 31, 2005. 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 wagering contracts, borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities and changes in our working capital position. The decrease in our available cash from the December 31, 2005 level principally reflects the net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $34.2 million along with $66.0 million of additional borrowings, offset by wagering and other capital expenditures and other investing activities totaling $55.7 million and acquisition related payments of $57.6 million. The $34.1 million of net cash provided by operating activities is derived from $42.6 million of net cash provided by operations offset by $8.4 million from changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and other current assets plus a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in accrued income taxes and other current liabilities. Capital expenditures of $4.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 are less than similar expenditures totaling $6.2 million in the corresponding period in 2005. Wagering system expenditures totaled $31.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to $17.1 million in 2005. This increase is primarily due to the new lottery contracts in Mexico, Oklahoma and Maryland. Other intangible assets and software increased primarily due to licensing arrangement with Major League Baseball entered into during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Cash flow from financing activities principally reflects the borrowings under the 2004 Facility.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under the Amended and restated Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the
32
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 obtaining such bonds, 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, on or before 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, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Further, the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Debentures give holders the right to convert the Convertible Debentures when the market price of our Class A Common Stock exceeds a defined target market price. The terms of such indenture require us to pay cash for the face amount of the Convertible Debentures which have been presented for conversion, with the value of the difference between the stated conversion price and the prevailing market price payable by our issuance of additional shares of our Class A Common Stock. We cannot offer any assurance that we will have sufficient available cash to pay for the Convertible Debentures presented to us for conversion nor can we offer any assurance that we will be able to refinance all or a portion of the converted Convertible Debentures at that time.
Recent Developments
On April 5, 2006, the Company acquired certain assets of The Shoreline Star Greyhound Park & Simulcast Facility (Shoreline) located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The purchase price was approximately $12.0 million plus certain future contingent payments and will be financed under the Companys existing credit facility. The Company expects that the acquisition of Shoreline will allow it to maximize the potential of its Connecticut operations. Additionally, the deal also eliminates existing restrictions on the Companys ability to simulcast live racing in certain portions of the state.
On April 20, 2006, the Company acquired The Global Draw Limited and certain related companies (Global Draw). Global Draw is a leading United Kingdom supplier of fixed odds betting terminals and systems, and interactive sports betting systems. The purchase price was approximately $183.0 million (subject to adjustment), and it may pay an earn-out to the principal selling shareholder, as well as contingent bonuses to certain members of the management team, based on the financial performance of the business. The aggregate amount of such payments will total one-third of an amount equal to Global Draws EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2008 multiplied by a specific price multiple depending on the level of EBITDA earned. In accordance with current accounting standards, such payments made to selling shareholders will be capitalized as additional purchase price and such payments made to management will be expensed. The Company expects that the acquisition of Global Draw will strengthen its role in the worldwide sports betting and video lottery business. The acquisition will be recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The Company has financed the acquisition through a combination of borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility and $100.0 million from the new term loan. Global Draw will be included in the Diversified Gaming segment beginning in the second quarter of 2006.
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 from any single 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 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, 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 for the balance of 2006, but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially affect our operating results.
33
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 are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. At March 31, 2006, approximately 74% of our debt was in fixed rate instruments. The following 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.

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, Austria, Chile and Ireland. Our investments 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 foreign 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.
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, expect 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 Managements 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 managements 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.
Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:
34
economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our local and regional markets;
changes or developments in the laws, regulations or taxes in the gaming and lottery industries;
actions taken or omitted to be taken by third parties, including customers, suppliers, competitors, members and shareholders, as well as legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental authorities;
changes in business strategy, capital improvements, development plans, including those due to environmental remediation concerns, or changes in personnel or their compensation, including federal, state and local minimum wage requirements;
the availability and adequacy of our cash flow to satisfy our obligations, including our debt service obligations and our need for additional funds required to support capital improvements, development and acquisitions;
an inability to renew or early termination of our contracts;
an inability to engage in future acquisitions;
the loss of any license or permit, including the failure to obtain an unconditional renewal of a required gaming license on a timely basis; and
resolution of any pending or future litigation in a manner adverse to us.
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.
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 SEC.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
35
On March 9, 2006, we received a request for information relating to the licensing of our operation of several earth stations in our racing communications business from the enforcement bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We conducted an internal review which determined that our racing subsidiary was not in full compliance with FCC licensing requirements. We engaged special FCC counsel to assist us in ensuring that we are in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements and responding to the FCCs inquiry. It is not possible to predict the outcome of this inquiry at this time.
On April 28, 2006, we agreed to settle the previously reported patent litigation with Oberthur Gaming Technologies Corporation (OGT). As part of the settlement, the parties dismissed litigation in Georgia federal court and Munich, Germany. In addition, on April 28, 2006 we obtained a non-exclusive, pre-paid license to the patents of OGT for a one-time payment of $1.75 million.
