Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

As previously reported, Scientific Games Corporation (“we”, “our”, or “the Company”) 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 the first quarter of 2006, we reported 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 pari-mutuel wagering systems business (formerly the Pari-mutuel Group) and the off-track wagering business (formerly the Venue Management Group).  Such changes in segment reporting were described and reflected in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

 

The purpose of this filing is to present certain information included in Items 7 and 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 on a basis consistent with our current presentation of segment data.  Such information is presented as of December 31, 2005 and has not been updated to reflect any developments since the date of such Annual Report.
