SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 June 30, 2003 and the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six months then ended, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2003 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 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 Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

        The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003:

 
  Three Months Ended
June 30,

  Six Months Ended
June 30,

 
  2002
  2003
  2002
  2003
Income (numerator)                  
Net income available to common stockholders (basic)   $ 6,271   10,675   1,459   20,149
Add back preferred stock paid-in-kind dividend     1,851   1,895   3,654   3,742
   
 
 
 
Income before preferred dividend available to common stockholders (diluted)   $ 8,122   12,570   5,113   23,891
   
 
 
 
Shares (denominator)                  
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding     43,048   59,868   42,546   59,660
Effect of dilutive securities-stock options, warrants, convertible preferred shares and deferred shares     28,935   29,360   6,865   28,726
   
 
 
 
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding     71,983   89,228   49,411   88,386
   
 
 
 
Basic and diluted per share amounts                  
Basic net income per share available to common stockholders   $ 0.15   0.18   0.03   0.34
   
 
 
 
Diluted net income per share available to common stockholders   $ 0.11   0.14   0.03   0.27
   
 
 
 

        At June 30, 2002 and 2003, the Company had outstanding stock options, warrants, Performance Accelerated Restricted Stock Units and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which could potentially

7



dilute basic earnings per share in the future. Potential common shares are not included in the calculation of dilutive net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2002 since inclusion would be anti-dilutive. (See Notes 14 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.)

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no stock compensation expense has been recognized for a substantial majority of its stock-based compensation plans. Had the Company elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148, such costs would have been recognized ratably over the vesting period of the underlying instruments and the Company's net income and net income per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

 
  Three Months Ended
June 30,

  Six Months Ended
June 30,

 
 
  2002
  2003
  2002
  2003
 
Net income available to common stockholders as reported   $ 6,271   10,675   1,459   20,149  
Add: Stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income, net of related tax effects            
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects     (658 ) (999 ) (1,315 ) (1,882 )
   
 
 
 
 
Pro forma net income available to common stockholders   $ 5,613   9,676   144   18,267  
   
 
 
 
 
Net income available to common stockholders per basic share:                    
  As reported   $ 0.15   0.18   0.03   0.34  
   
 
 
 
 
  Pro forma   $ 0.13   0.16     0.31  
   
 
 
 
 
Net income available to common stockholders per diluted share:                    
  As reported   $ 0.11   0.14   0.03   0.27  
   
 
 
 
 
  Pro forma   $ 0.11   0.13     0.26  
   
 
 
 
 

(2)   Acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc.

        On January 17, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of MDI Entertainment, Inc. ("MDI") through (i) a tender offer at $1.60 per share, in cash, (ii) the purchase of shares from MDI's President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a separate stock purchase agreement and (iii) a merger agreement, whereby the remaining eight percent of MDI common shares was converted into the right to receive $1.60 per share in cash. With the purchase of MDI, the Company significantly expanded its offerings of licensed branded products and prize fulfillment and related services. MDI focuses on helping lotteries attract players to new kinds of tickets and second chance games that allow players to win merchandise, such as Harley Davidson motorcycles and trips and prizes such as tickets to NBA playoff games. The Company's portfolio of licensed brands now includes Mandalay Bay, NBA, Harley Davidson, Wheel of Fortune, and many others. The Company expects that its acquisition of MDI will enable it to further expand the use of branded games and prize fulfillment services to continue to help its customers generate revenues to meet the needs of their beneficiaries. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting and the acquired assets and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price totaled approximately $22,958, including fees and expenses. The excess of the purchase price over

8



the fair value of the net assets acquired is currently estimated to be approximately $26,933 and has been recorded as goodwill. This estimate is subject to revisions until the valuations of MDI's assets and liabilities are completed. The operating results of MDI have been included in the Company's consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of MDI been included as if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2003, the Company's pro forma operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 would not have been materially different from the actual reported results.

(3)   Business Segments

        The following tables represent revenues, profits, depreciation, amortization, and capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, and assets at June 30, 2002 and 2003, by business segment. Corporate expenses, interest expense and other (income) deductions are not allocated to business segments.

(4)   Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense was $7,058 and $13,402 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Due to the recognition of the income tax asset from the net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") in the fourth quarter of 2002 the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 is approximately 36%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to foreign and state income taxes.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, income tax expense totaled $1,196 and $12,541, respectively. This expense primarily reflects foreign and state income taxes, and a $9,790 charge in the first quarter of 2002 related to the adoption of SFAS 142, which caused us to reduce the recorded amount of our NOL from $18,520 and $8,730 to reflect the reduced amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of the tradename and employee workforce intangible assets. No current tax benefit was

11


recognized on domestic operating losses in either period in 2002 in excess of the amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period.

(5)   Comprehensive Income

        Parts and work-in-process include costs for equipment expected to be sold. Costs incurred for equipment associated with specific wagering system service contracts not yet placed in service are classified as construction in progress in property and equipment.

(7)   Debt

        At June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $26,918 available for borrowing under the Company's revolving credit facility, which was entered into on December 19, 2002 as part of the Company's new senior secured credit facility (the "2002 Facility"). There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit feature of the 2002 Facility, but approximately $23,082 in letters of credit was issued under the 2002 Facility at June 30, 2003. At December 31, 2002, the Company's available borrowing capacity under the 2002 Facility was $28,171. As of June 30, 2003, there was $288,550 outstanding under the Term B Loan under the 2002 Facility, and $65,584 of the Company's 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") were outstanding.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR
THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

Background

        The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of June 30, 2003 and the results of our operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same periods 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, 2002, included in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.

        We operate in four business segments: Lottery Group, Pari-mutuel Group, Venue Management Group and Telecommunications Products Group.

        Our Lottery Group provides instant tickets and related services and lottery systems. Instant ticket and related services 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. In addition, this division includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers. 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 services for sports betting and credit card processing systems.

        In January 2003, we significantly expanded our offerings of licensed branded lottery products and prize fulfillment and related services with the acquisition of MDI. MDI focuses on helping lotteries attract players to new kinds of tickets and second chance games that allow players to win merchandise, such as Harley Davidson motorcycles and trips and prizes such as tickets to NBA playoff games. Our portfolio of licensed brands now includes Mandalay Bay, NBA, Harley Davidson and Wheel of Fortune, plus many others. We expect that our acquisition of MDI will enable us to further expand the use of branded games and prize fulfillment services to continue to help our customers generate additional revenues.

        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 and lottery 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 and lottery

21



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 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.

Results of Operations: See Note 3—Business Segments

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

Revenue Analysis

        For the three months ended June 30, 2003, revenues of $128.8 million improved $14.6 million or 13% overall as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a $13.4 million or 14% increase in service revenue and a $1.2 million or 7% increase in sales revenue.

        The increase in service revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to a $13.1 million or 22% increase in revenues in the Lottery Group as compared to the prior year quarter, of which $5.6 million is the increase in licensed branded lottery products and prize fulfillment and related services, primarily attributable to the addition of MDI beginning January 10, 2003, $3.7 million improvement in revenues related to the Company's cooperative services programs and European lottery operations, and a $3.6 million improvement in lottery ticket sales, primarily in the US and Latin America. Pari-mutuel Group service revenues were down slightly compared to the previous year primarily due to lower wagering caused by concerns over the war in Iraq, a slowing economy and a horsemen's strike in Chicago. Venue Management Group service revenues increased approximately $0.5 million or 3% compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to increased Handle (dollars wagered) in its raceview centers and more favorable exchange rates in The Netherlands.

        The $1.2 million increase in sales revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to the $2.4 million or 24% improvement in revenues in the Telecommunications Products Group as compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to increased sales volume and the impact of favorable exchange rates, partially offset by lower pari-mutuel and lottery systems and equipment sales.

Gross Profit Analysis

        Gross profit of $55.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased $8.9 million or 19% as compared to the same period in 2002, reflecting an $8.6 million or 21% improvement on service revenues, and a $0.3 million or 6% improvement on sales revenues. Margin improvements related to service revenues were primarily attributable to the addition of MDI beginning January 10, 2003, increased revenues in our cooperative services programs and European lottery operations, and increased lottery ticket sales, primarily in the US and Latin America, as compared to the prior year quarter. An increase of $0.3 million or 3% in gross margin in the Pari-mutuel Group is primarily due to a new service contract customer in Poland and favorable euro exchange rates. Increased gross profit on sales were due to increased sales revenue in the Telecommunications Products Group, which contributed approximately $0.8 million or 23% in gross margin increase during the second quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to improved volumes and favorable exchange rates, partially offset by an unfavorable mix of systems and equipment sold.

22



Expense Analysis

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $19.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $3.6 million or 23% higher than in the same period in 2002, primarily due to $1.5 million of selling, general and administrative expenses of the recently acquired SERCHI and MDI businesses, $1.8 million for increased sales and marketing costs, compensation, medical costs and professional service fees, and $0.3 million in costs associated with the commencement of the integration of our totalisator and lottery systems businesses.

        Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $11.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased $0.3 million or 3% from the same period in 2002, primarily due to the acquisition of MDI and increased amortization expense on intangibles as a result of reclassifications made pursuant to the final purchase price allocation of SERCHI.

        Interest expense of $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $5.4 million from $11.6 million in the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the debt reduction program begun in 2002. (See "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital.")

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense of $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased $5.9 million from $1.2 million in the same period in 2002. Due to the recognition of the income tax asset from the net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") in the fourth quarter of 2002, the income tax provision for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 is approximately 36% compared to a tax rate of approximately 13% in the same period in 2002. We estimate that our cash tax rate for fiscal 2003 will be approximately 18%.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Revenue Analysis

        For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues of $252.1 million improved $30.8 million or 14% overall as compared to the prior year period, reflecting a $26.1 million or 14% increase in service revenue and a $4.7 million or 15% increase in sales revenue.

        The increase in service revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to a $26.0 million or 22% increase in revenues in the Lottery Group as compared to the prior year period, of which $9.8 million improvement is in licensed branded lottery products and prize fulfillment and related services, primarily attributable to the addition of MDI beginning January 10, 2003, $4.8 million improvement in revenues related to the Company's cooperative services programs and European lottery operations, and a $11.4 million improvement in lottery ticket sales, primarily in the US and Latin America. Pari-mutuel Group service revenues were approximately $1.0 million or 2% lower than the prior year period primarily due to lower Handle caused by severe winter weather conditions in the northeast, concerns over the war in Iraq, a slowing economy and a horsemen's strike in Chicago. Venue Management Group service revenues increased approximately $1.1 million or 4% compared to the prior year period due primarily to increased Handle in its raceview centers, increased commissions from the Mohegan Sun Casino, and more favorable exchange rates in The Netherlands.

        The $4.7 million increase in sales revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily attributable to higher levels of systems and equipment sales in the Lottery Group, coupled with a $1.5 million or 7% improvement in revenues in the Telecommunications Products Group as compared to the prior year period, due primarily to increased volume and the impact of favorable exchange rates in the European prepaid cellular phone card market.

23



Gross Profit Analysis

        Gross profit of $107.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $17.6 million or 20% as compared to the same period in 2002, reflecting a $16.9 million or 22% improvement on service revenues, and a $0.7 million or 6% improvement on sales revenues. Margin improvements as compared to the prior year period related to service revenues were primarily attributable to improvement in revenues related to our cooperative services programs and European lottery operations, and improvement in lottery ticket sales, primarily in the US and Latin America, and the addition of MDI beginning January 10, 2003. A decrease of $0.2 million or 1% in gross margin was caused by lower Handle-related service revenues in the Pari-mutuel Group as explained above. Increased sales revenue contributed approximately $0.7 million or 6% in gross margin increase during the six-month period of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to higher levels of lottery systems and equipment sales, coupled with a $0.2 million margin improvement in the Telecommunications Products Group as compared to the prior year period due primarily to increased volume.

Expense Analysis

        Selling, general and administrative expenses of $37.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $7.6 million or 25% higher than in the same period in 2002, primarily due to the $2.9 million of selling, general and administrative expenses of the recently acquired SERCHI and MDI businesses, a $3.8 million increase in sales and marketing costs, compensation, medical costs and professional service fees, a $0.5 million favorable settlement of litigation in 2002, and $0.3 million in costs associated with the commencement of the integration of our totalisator and lottery systems businesses.

        Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $22.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.0 million or 4% from the same period in 2002, primarily due to the acquisition of MDI, increased amortization expense on intangibles as a result of reclassifications made pursuant to the final purchase price allocation of SERCHI, and the amortization of deferred installation costs of new lottery contracts.

        Interest expense of $12.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased $10.6 million from $23.0 million in the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the debt reduction program begun in 2002. (See "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital.")

Income Tax Expense

        Income tax expense of $13.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $0.9 million from $12.5 million in the same period in 2002. Due to the recognition of the income tax asset from the NOL in the fourth quarter of 2002, the income tax provision for the period ended June 30, 2003 is approximately 36% compared to a state and foreign tax rate of approximately 16% in the same period in 2002. In the first quarter of 2002, we also recorded a charge of $9.8 million relating to the adoption of SFAS 142, which caused us to reduce the recorded amount of our NOL from $18.5 million to $8.7 million to reflect the reduced amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period because of the cessation of amortization of the tradename and employee workforce intangible assets. No current tax benefit was recognized on domestic operating losses as of June 30, 2002 in excess of the amount of net taxable temporary differences that are expected to reverse during the NOL carryforward period.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

24



assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition on percentage of completion contracts related to lottery development projects and pari-mutuel systems software development projects, capitalization of software development costs, evaluation of the recoverability of assets, the assessment of litigation and contingencies, accounting for stock-based compensation, accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and accounting for income and other taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

        In 2002, we initiated a debt reduction program. In July 2002, we completed the public offering and sale of 14.4 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at a price of $7.25 per share (the "2002 Offering") and used the net proceeds of approximately $98.4 million (after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and prior to deducting offering expenses) to redeem approximately $83.0 million of our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes"). As a result of these transactions, our capital structure improved, and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. upgraded our credit ratings to BB- and Ba3, respectively, where they remain today. In December 2002, we replaced our existing senior secured credit facility (the "2000 Facility"), with the 2002 Facility, which consists of a $50.0 million revolving credit facility due 2006 that can be increased to $70.0 million, and a $290.0 million Term B Loan due 2008. In May 2003, we repurchased an additional $1.5 million of our Notes. As a result of our debt reduction program, we expect interest expense in 2003 to total approximately $26.0 million, assuming debt levels and interest rates remain constant. Approximately 82% 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 $0.4 million per year in our interest expense assuming no change in our outstanding borrowings.

        Our financing arrangements impose certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries' operations.

        The credit agreement governing the 2002 Facility (the "Credit Agreement") contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our 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, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, and create certain liens and other encumbrances on new assets. Additionally, the Credit Agreement governing the 2002 Facility contains the following financial covenants at June 30, 2003 that are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:

25


        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 measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for us and our subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. Although we were in compliance with our loan covenants at June 30, 2003 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.

        The 2002 Facility provides for borrowings up to $50.0 million to be used for working capital and general corporate purpose loans and for letters of credit. At June 30, 2003, we had outstanding letters of credit of $23.1 million, but no outstanding borrowings under the 2002 Facility, leaving us with a total availability of $26.9 million as compared to $28.2 million at December 31, 2002. Our ability to continue to borrow under the 2002 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 contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum operating lease obligations.

        Our Series A 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, subject to bank approval. We expect that we will continue to make such payments in-kind.

        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 Expenses-Services 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

26



income as we extend or renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any other material short term or long-term obligations or commitments pursuant to these service contracts.

        Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and 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 2003, we anticipate that capital expenditures and software expenditures will be approximately $35.0 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 2004 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.

        At June 30, 2003, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $68.0 million compared to $63.1 million at December 31, 2002. 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. In the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash provided by operating activities of $48.9 million exceeded cash used in investing activities of $40.5 million, including $20.7 million to fund the acquisition of MDI, and net cash used to repay long-term debt. The $48.9 million amount consisted of $57.5 million that was provided by operations and $8.6 million that was used for changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from increases in accounts receivable and inventory and decreases in accrued liabilities.

        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 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. 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, including our

27



121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, 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, including our revolving credit facility and our 121/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 requires that certain financial instruments which have characteristics of both liabilities and equity be classified as liabilities, or, in some circumstances, assets, if they fall within the scope of SFAS 150. We were required to adopt SFAS 150 for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and on July 1, 2003 for all other financial instruments. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on our consolidated operations or financial position, as we are now constituted.

        In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 149"). SFAS 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly, clarifies under what circumstances a contract meets the characteristics of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component and amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45. We are required to adopt SFAS 149 for all contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 149 to have a material impact on our consolidated operations or financial position, as we are now constituted.

        In December 2002 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which elaborates on Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (previously often referred to as special purpose entities), which have one or both of the following characteristics:

        Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. We do not believe that this statement will have an impact on our financial statements.

        In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees it has issued, and clarifies that a liability is to be recognized at the

28



inception of a guarantee for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. We complied with the disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 in our December 31, 2002 financial statements and have adopted the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions, which are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We do not believe that Interpretation No. 45 will have an impact on our financial statements.

        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. Among other changes, SFAS 145 rescinds Statement No. 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 Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses because Statement No. 4 has been rescinded. We were required to adopt SFAS 145, effective January 1, 2003. Pursuant to SFAS 145, we will be required to reclassify the extraordinary losses we incurred in 2002 to other income/deductions in future reports.

        On March 12, 2003, the FASB added to its agenda two projects that will seek to improve the accounting and disclosures relating to stock-based compensation and pension costs. Among other issues, the project on stock-based compensation will address whether to require that the cost of employee stock options be treated as an expense. The FASB plans to start deliberating the key issues on this subject at future public meetings with a view to issuing an Exposure Draft later this year that could become effective in 2004. Separately, the FASB decided to add a project to its agenda that would seek to improve disclosures relating to employer pension plans. As part of this project, the FASB will address perceived deficiencies in current pension accounting by identifying ways to enhance disclosures about pension costs, plan assets, obligations and funding requirements. Until final standards are issued, we will not be able to quantify the impact, if any, that these two projects will have on our future consolidated operations or financial position.

Recent Developments

        On July 24, 2003, we announced that we expected to revise our previously filed financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 and subsequent periods through December 31, 2002. On August 14, 2003, we amended our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarterly periods in fiscal 2002 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003. These restatements arose because it was determined that a portion of the deferred tax asset, in the form of a net operating loss carryforward, recognized in the fourth quarter of 2002, should have been recognized at the time of the Company's acquisition of Scientific Games Holdings Corp. on September 6, 2000 as a reduction to the goodwill resulting from that acquisition. These restatements are non-cash adjustments that have no effect on our previously reported revenues or EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), nor do they have any effect on revenues, EBITDA or net income for fiscal 2003 and future years.

        On June 4, 2003, we announced that our Austrian subsidiary, Scientific Games International GmbH ("Scientific Games Austria"), signed a contract with SWISSLOS to deliver an on-line gaming system that will operate the Swiss version of the popular ODDSET sports betting products. Langen, the first Oddset game, is scheduled to launch in October 2003. Software for the existing terminals will be provided by the incumbent terminal vendor, Wincor Nixdorf, which will provide its products as a subcontractor to Scientific Games Austria.


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,

29



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 2002, 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 2003, 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 are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. At June 30, 2003 approximately 18% 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 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. (See "Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital.")

        Since 2002, we have been party to derivative contracts to hedge part of our foreign currency exposure with respect to future cash receipts under our contract with the Ontario Lottery Commission. These instruments, which have a notional value of 59.7 million Canadian dollars at June 30, 2003, have been designated as cash flow hedges. For the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, we recorded debits to other comprehensive income (loss) of $3.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the change in the fair value of these foreign exchange instruments, bringing the cumulative total to a debit balance of $6.0 million.

Exchange rate     1.57   1.59           1.57    

        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, Austria, Chile and Peru. 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.

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," "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 "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.

        Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:

31


        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.


CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
