<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Under the CSP model, we perform all of the comprehensive services necessary to operate the associated lottery&#8217;s integrated instant product programs other than executing on retail sales.&#160;These services are provided on a continuous daily basis, at ongoing and unspecified levels, resulting in an ecosystem that we manage on behalf of the customer. The amount and level of services that are provided each day may be different from day to day, but the nature of the services provided is consistent over the life of the arrangement. Accordingly, CSP arrangements are marketed and sold as an integrated turn-key solution, and that is the expectation of a customer entering into these arrangements. The customer is procuring this integrated turn-key solution as opposed to separately procuring (1) instant tickets and (2) separate ecosystem services. When a customer desires only instant tickets, we offer such under POS and PPU arrangements. When customers desire a full, integrated turn-key solution, we make CSP arrangements available to them that provide the end-to-end operation of their entire instant ticket ecosystem, with the objective of maximizing the revenues and profits of both the Company and the resultant lottery's program. When instant tickets and ecosystem services are provided together in CSP arrangements, they modify each other and the combined benefit is greater than the sum of those promised goods and services. Therefore, we concluded that our promise in a CSP arrangement is that of an integrated end-to-end solution which necessarily must contain all of the services identified below.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The following are the services provided in these arrangements:</div>

Each of these game features ultimately impacts the game results and accordingly our revenues. The instant games tickets are printed at our central location and are shipped to our warehouse. We do not have a specified number of tickets to be printed; rather, the timing, type and amount of tickets to be printed is determined by us based on the &#8220;feedback loop&#8221; described below.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">We evaluated TRG #16, which discusses four types of stand-ready obligations. We considered CSP arrangements were most akin to a &#8220;Type D&#8221; arrangement as we make an unspecified quantity of goods or services available to the customer continuously. We understand that in TRG #16, the Boards intended that a series could consist of distinct time increments depending on the nature of the promise, with no bias as to whether this was an input or output measure. Further, we evaluated TRG #39 (in particular paragraphs 14 &#8211; 16) and concluded that the promise in CSP arrangements was consistent with this guidance.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">For all the core components of services provided under CSP arrangements described above, while our underlying activities will vary both within a day and day-to-day, we are providing a daily service that is distinct and substantially the same. We determined that each increment of the promised service of operating integrated instant games programs, is distinct in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-19 as the customer can benefit from each increment of services on its own and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another and no day of service significantly affects our ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the lotteries of another day of service. We believe that our conclusion that each day of service is distinct is based on the nature of services provided under the CSP arrangements and is analogous to the example 12A in paragraphs 157C-157D of ASC 606-10-55.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">For each CSP arrangement, we assessed the above-described promised services to identify if the services are distinct performance obligations. In performing this assessment, we considered whether the services were capable of being distinct per ASC 606-10-25-19(a) and/or were distinct within the context of the contract per ASC 606-10-25-19(b). In this evaluation, we focused on the intent, expectations and reasons customers enter into CSP arrangements and the overall nature of the arrangements and interrelationship of the services provided. We felt this evaluation was largely conclusive; however, we also considered the enumerated factors in ASC 606-10-25-21, which further supported the conclusion that none of the services was distinct within the context of the contract.</div>

<div><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><u>Consideration of ASC 606-10-25-19(a)</u></div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">We determined that the Design and manufacturing of instant games tickets was capable of being distinct and further determined that warehousing, inventory management and distribution functions were also capable of being distinct, because we and others in the industry provide such services on a stand-alone basis. We concluded the other services provided: (1) Instant games planning, monitoring and management systems functions and (2) Marketing and game support functions were not capable of being distinct.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><u>Consideration of ASC 606-10-25-19(b)</u></div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">We further considered whether the two services capable of being distinct were distinct within the context of the contract. As noted above, we first evaluated the nature of the services in context of the arrangements, how these arrangements are marketed and the resultant customer expectations. Next, we considered the specific factors in ASC 606-10-25-21, noting that each of the factors was met due to the high degree of integration or interrelation of each of the promises on the other. In particular, we weighed the fact that each promise not only depends on the others, but each also modifies the others. When we manage the entire ecosystem there is a &#8220;feedback loop&#8221; that takes place where all aspects of the ecosystem affect the timing and amount of additional services. For example, when tickets are sold by a retailer, we gather the data and analyze it to inform the design and manufacturing services resulting in instant ticket production. This &#8220;feedback loop&#8221; informs our planning of the types of games that are selling and the features in those games &#8211; thus impacting and modifying the instant ticket design and manufacture. In addition, monitoring this ecosystem can result in moving inventory from retailer to retailer or alternatively in some cases removing the inventory altogether and destroying such inventory, thereby modifying the tickets already produced. We believe that these are examples of the design and manufacturing promise being modified by the ecosystem services and vice-versa.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Accordingly, we concluded that none of the promises in CSP arrangements are distinct within the context of such arrangements, but rather function as significant inputs into a highly integrated &#8220;ecosystem&#8221; of services resulting in a combined output &#8211; the operation of an integrated instant product program on behalf of the state lottery customers.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Our performance obligation under CSP arrangements is a stand-ready obligation to provide a single continuous service to operate and manage integrated instant product operations, and does not specify the amount of services. Due to the inherent nature of these arrangements, we determined that the state lotteries simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided in these arrangements. Based on those considerations and ASC 606-10-25-27, we determined that the identified performance obligation is satisfied over time. Because instant tickets are activated daily and represent the direct benefit obtained by our customers in these arrangements, we concluded that instant ticket activation is the most appropriate measure of progress towards satisfying our performance obligation.</div>
