NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and include all adjustments necessary to fairly present our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for each period presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2003. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation used in the current period.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Game Technology and all majority owned or controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities of which we are the primary beneficiary. All appropriate inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We account for investments in 50% or less owned joint ventures using the equity method.

Our fiscal year is reported on a 52/53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to September 30 in each year. Similarly, our quarters end on the Saturday nearest to the last day of the quarter end month. For simplicity of presentation, all financial statement periods in this report are presented as ending on the calendar month end. The results of operations for fiscal 2004 will contain 53 weeks versus 52 weeks in fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 contained 40 weeks versus 39 weeks for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. The results of operations for the third quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 both contained 13 weeks.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FIN 46

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, establishes standards for determining under what circumstances VIEs should be consolidated with their primary beneficiary, and requires disclosures about significant unconsolidated VIEs. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to VIEs created after December 31, 2003 and to older entities as of the end of the first period that ends after March 15, 2004. Certain disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after December 31, 2003.

In both Iowa and New Jersey, IGT licenses wide-area progressive (WAP) systems to the trusts and casino members (trustees) that are responsible for the funding of the progressive jackpots. In Iowa, all linked WAP systems are operated under a single trust, administered by IGT, and IGT receives a fee equal to the net profit of the trust. In New Jersey, each WAP system is operated under an individual trust, administered by representatives of the casino members, and IGT receives a flat fee per machine per day.

Prior to the consolidation of the progressive systems trusts’ statements of income beginning with our quarter ending June 30, 2004 under the requirements of FIN 46, we recognized revenues from the trusts per the contractual arrangements between IGT and the trusts. In accordance with SEC guidance SAB 101, we recognized revenues when earned and collectibility from the trusts was reasonably assured.

The trusts collect contribution fees from participating casinos members based on a percentage of coin-in generated by the gaming machines. The contribution fees collected by the trusts fund all jackpots liabilities (both won and not yet won) first. When the trusts’ historical activities in volume of coin-in and frequency of jackpots indicate that the remaining contribution fees are not sufficient to fund IGT’s fees, the trusts may defer payment of IGT’s fees. Accordingly, we would refrain from recognizing revenue until such time as the trusts’ cash flows indicated that collectibility was reasonably assured.

IGT, as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate these trust VIEs. The initial consolidation of the trusts’ balance sheets at March 31, 2004 added $185.2 million in total assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of jackpot liabilities and related assets. Beginning with our third quarter ended June 30, 2004, we additionally consolidated $11.2 million in quarterly revenues and $11.3 million in related expenses of the trusts, as well as $187.8 million in total assets and liabilities. The consolidation of the trust VIEs had no material impact to our financial condition or results of operations.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

On October 1, 1996, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which established a fair value based method of accounting for stock compensation plans with employees and others. As permitted by SFAS 123, we continue to account for stock- based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which determines the compensation cost of stock options issued for non-variable plans like ours as the difference between the quoted market value at the measurement date and the amount, if any, required to be paid by employees. Our stock-based compensation plans are predominantly plans where the option price is equal to or greater than the price the stock would be in an offer to all shareholders and therefore, no compensation cost is recorded. Compensation cost is incurred, however, when the terms of an outstanding option are modified or converted in an acquisition.

The following pro forma net income and earnings per share (EPS) reflects the difference between stock compensation costs charged to operations under the APB 25 intrinsic value method and pro forma stock compensation costs that would have been recorded if the SFAS 123 fair value method had been applied to all awards granted, modified, or settled since the beginning of fiscal 1996. The Black-Scholes option pricing model used in this valuation was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. IGT’s employee stock-based compensation has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the fair value estimate.

5. Acquisitions, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

Acquisitions

Acres

On October 27, 2003, IGT completed the acquisition of Acres Gaming (Acres), which specializes in the development of gaming systems technology designed to assist casino operators in increasing patron loyalty. This business combination will provide us the ability to work more closely with the Acres gaming systems technology to develop more integrated gaming systems products, as well as increase our competitive marketing capacity.

Under the terms of the agreement, IGT paid $11.50 in cash for each outstanding share of Acres common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $134.0 million. Under the guidance of SFAS 141, Business Combinations, we have substantially completed our evaluation of the purchase price allocation to total assets and liabilities. See Note 8 for the purchase price allocation to identifiable intangibles and goodwill. We have not provided pro forma financial information including Acres prior to the acquisition, as it was not material to our consolidated results. The following table summarizes the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Divestitures and Discontinued Operations

During fiscal 2003, we divested certain non-core businesses acquired with Anchor Gaming (Anchor) on December 30, 2001, including our slot route operations in Nevada, two casinos in Colorado and our pari-mutuel systems operations, United Tote. The sale of our online lottery system operations, IGT OnLine Entertainment Systems, Inc., and the lottery systems business of VLC, Inc., collectively referred to as OnLine Entertainment Systems (OES), was completed in November 2003. Cash proceeds, including the final working capital adjustment, totaled $151.5 million, resulting in a gain of $56.8 million, net of tax. These operations were reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

7

The results of our discontinued operations were comprised of:

Assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations were comprised of:

Additionally, as a result of integrating certain VLC, Inc. operations acquired with Anchor into our Reno, Nevada facility in June 2003, we reclassified $4.5 million related to the Bozeman, Montana building to other assets held for sale. Based on market factors and pending purchase offers, we recognized estimated losses of $0.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2004, and $0.2 million in fiscal 2003, reducing the property value to $3.8 million. The final sale closed on April 7, 2004.

6. Notes and Contracts Receivable

Allowances for doubtful notes and contracts:

7. Concentrations of Credit Risk

The financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash or equivalents and receivables. We maintain cash balances at several financial institutions in amounts which may at times be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Our receivables are concentrated in specific legalized gaming regions. The table below shows the composition of our accounts, contracts, and notes receivable at June 30, 2004.

8. Intangibles and Goodwill

The tables below include our Acres purchase price allocation to identifiable intangibles and goodwill. In-process research and development (R&D) was charged to R&D expense immediately subsequent to acquisition because no future alternative use existed. The Acres goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Other patent additions included purchased patents and capitalized legal costs for patent applications.

Intangible Additions

Intangible Balances

Amortization of Intangibles

Our aggregate amortization expense totaled $9.2 million in the current quarter compared to $5.9 million in the prior year quarter and $26.9 million in the nine months just ended compared to $19.1 million in the prior year period. The following is our estimated annual amortization expense for the current and succeeding fiscal years:

Goodwill Changes and Balances by Segment

9. Notes Payable

We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in all debt agreements at June 30, 2004.

Senior Credit Facility

IGT entered into a new $1.5 billion senior credit facility (credit facility) with a syndicate of banks on July 1, 2004, replacing the previous credit facility of $260.0 million. The credit facility is structured in two components both with five year maturities:

The interest rates applicable to the credit facility are based on our public credit ratings and debt to capitalization ratio. Initially these rates were set at LIBOR plus 60.0 basis points (bps) for both the revolver and the term loan. A facility fee of 15.0 bps applies to the entire credit facility.

Financial covenants for the credit facility include a maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) of 4:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined in the agreement) of 3:1. The credit facility agreement also includes certain restrictions on our ability to incur new indebtedness, issue guarantees, or make acquisitions.

If IGT is not in compliance with the required covenant ratios, an event of default would occur, which if not cured, could cause the entire outstanding borrowings under the credit facility to become immediately due and payable, as well as trigger cross default provisions to other debt issues.

10

Foreign Credit Facilities

Our available foreign credit facilities totaled $24.0 million at June 30, 2004 and expire at various times through July 2005.

Senior Notes

On July 16, 2004, we redeemed all of the remaining $569.6 million principal outstanding 2009 senior notes, using available cash and the proceeds of the new $200.0 million term loan. The portion of the senior notes not refinanced with the new term loan totaled $366.3 million, net of discount, and was classified as current maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2004. Including the cancellation of corresponding interest rate swaps, we will recognize a loss of approximately $121.0 million or $76.9 million, net of tax, on this early debt retirement in our fourth quarter ending September 30, 2004.

In February 2004, we recognized a loss of $6.9 million or $4.3 million, net of tax, related to the early redemption of our $400.0 million senior notes due May 2004. Losses on early redemptions of debt were included in other expense.

Senior Convertible Debentures

The market price condition for convertibility of our debentures was met during the conversion periods ended January 20, April 20, and July 20, 2004. As a result, the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per share applies to our second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004. We will include the dilutive effect of outstanding debentures for all future periods that the conversion requirements are met. See Note 10.

10. Earnings Per Share

The reconciliation of diluted EPS below reflects the if-converted method of accounting for our convertible debentures since first meeting the conversion criteria in the second quarter of 2004.

Since the end of the current period through August 11, 2004, we repurchased 3.0 million additional common shares or approximately 1% of outstanding shares. There were no other transactions in the same period that would have materially changed the number of basic or diluted shares outstanding.

11

11. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes is based on estimated effective annual income tax rates. The provision differs from income taxes currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial statement purposes than for tax return purposes.

Our current quarter results included a $10.3 million reduction to the provision for income taxes due to the utilization of prior year foreign income tax credits resulting from changes to the geographic mix of estimated annual taxable income. We now consider the utilization of foreign tax credits probable and have included foreign income tax credits in our effective tax rate calculation. Excluding the $10.3 million reduction, we have adjusted our annual tax rate on continuing operations to 36.5% from 37.0%. The tax rate on discontinued operations remained unchanged at 37.5%.

12. Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income (loss) presented below included currency translation adjustments and net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

IGT has been named in and has brought lawsuits in the normal course of business. We do not expect the outcome of these suits, including the lawsuits described below, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of future operations.

Miller

In June 2003, a class action lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada District Court against Acres and its directors, entitled Paul Miller v. Acres Gaming Incorporated, et al., (Case No. 470016). The complaint alleged that Acres directors breached their fiduciary duties to their stockholders in connection with the approval of the merger transaction between Acres and IGT and sought to enjoin and/or void the merger agreement among other forms of relief. On September 19, 2003, the Court denied plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent Acres stockholders from voting on the merger. On September 24, 2003, plaintiff petitioned the Nevada Supreme Court to vacate the denial of the TRO and to enjoin Acres from holding its stockholder vote on the merger. The Nevada Supreme Court denied the petition on September 25, 2003. The plaintiff’s action also seeks damages. On December 23, 2003, defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s second amended complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. On April 29, 2004, the Court issued a ruling denying defendant’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. We believe that the plaintiff’s claims for damages are without merit.

Poulos

Along with a number of other public gaming corporations, IGT is a defendant in three class action lawsuits: one filed in the US District Court of Nevada, entitled Larry Schreier v. Caesars World, Inc., et al, and two filed in the US District Court of Florida, entitled Poulos v. Caesars World, Inc., et al. and Ahern v. Caesars World, Inc., et al., which have been consolidated into a single action. The Court granted the defendants’ motion to transfer venue of the consolidated action to Las Vegas. The actions allege that the defendants have engaged in fraudulent and misleading conduct by inducing people to play video poker machines and electronic slot machines, based on false beliefs concerning how the machines operate and the extent to which there is an opportunity to win on a given play. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants’ acts constitute violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and also give rise to claims for common law fraud and unjust enrichment, and seeks compensatory, special, incidental and punitive damages of several billion dollars. In December 1997, the Court denied the motions that would have dismissed the Consolidated Amended Complaint or that would have stayed the action pending Nevada gaming regulatory action. The defendants filed their consolidated answer to the Consolidated Amended Complaint in February 1998. In

12

March 2002, the Court directed that certain merits discovery could proceed. In June 2002, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. An appeal of that denial was filed timely with the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. All briefings were completed and oral arguments were heard in January 2004. On August 10, 2004, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (CCA) upheld U.S. District Court Judge Roger Hunt in his denial of class certification. The class plaintiffs may attempt to get the Ninth CCA to reconsider the matter en banc or file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court.

Nevada Sales/Use Tax Matter

In February 2003, an IGT employee, presently on administrative leave, filed a sealed complaint under Nevada’s False Claims Act (State of Nevada ex rel. James McAndrews v. International Game Technology, Anchor Coin and Spin for Cash Wide Area Progressive, CV03 — 01329, 2d Jud. Dist. Court of Nevada) alleging that IGT failed to pay requisite Nevada sales/use taxes on certain Wheel of Fortune® games placed in Nevada since 1997 and in connection with royalties received under intellectual property licensing agreements related to the placement of Action Gaming games in Nevada since 1997. The Attorney General and IGT both filed motions to dismiss the complaint in January 2004, and the Court unsealed the action in February 2004. The Court denied both motions to dismiss the complaint on July 1, 2004.

OSHA Matter

On July 8, 2004, two former employees filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, alleging retaliatory termination in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The former employees allege that they were terminated in retaliation for questioning whether Anchor Gaming (Anchor) and its executives failed to properly disclose information allegedly affecting the value of Anchor’s patents in connection with IGT’s acquisition of Anchor in 2001. The former employees also allege that the acquired patents are overvalued on the financial statements of IGT. Outside counsel, retained by an independent committee of the Board of Directors, reviewed the allegations and found them to be entirely without merit. In the purchase price allocation, IGT used the relief of royalty valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of the patents at $164.4 million, which is being amortized over the useful economic life. The carrying value of the patents at June 30, 2004 totaled $128.1 million, with a remaining life of approximately 12 years.

Environmental Matter

Colorado Central Station Casino (CCSC), a casino operation sold by IGT in April 2003, is located in an area that has been designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a superfund site as a result of contamination from historic mining activity in the area. The EPA is entitled to proceed against current and prior owners or operators of properties located within the site for associated remediation and response costs. CCSC is located within the drainage basin of North Clear Creek and is therefore subjected to potentially contaminated surface and ground water from upstream mining related sources. Soil and ground water samples on the site indicate that several contaminants exist in concentrations exceeding drinking water standards. No litigation has commenced, nor has a claim on assessment been asserted. Therefore, under the guidance of AICPA Statement of Position 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities, no liability has been incurred or accrued at this time.

Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risks

In the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as performance bonds, guarantees and product warranties. We do not expect any material losses to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements and we are not dependent on off-balance sheet financing arrangements to fund our operations.

Performance Bonds

Outstanding performance bonds related to our gaming operations totaled $11.1 million at June 30, 2004. We are liable to reimburse the bond issuer in the event the bonds are exercised as a result of our nonperformance.

Letters of credit issued and outstanding under our line of credit to insure payment to certain vendors and governmental agencies totaled $3.8 million at June 30, 2004.

IGT Licensor Arrangements

Our sales agreements that include software and intellectual property licensing arrangements may provide a clause whereby IGT indemnifies the third party licensee against liability and damages (including legal defense costs) arising from any claims of patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret infringement. Should such a claim occur, we could be required to make payments to the licensee for any liabilities or damages incurred. We are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under this guarantee because it depends on the occurrence of future events.

13

Product Warranties

We accrue for warranty costs based on historical trends in product failure rates and the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The majority of our products are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to one year. The following table summarizes the activities related to our product warranty liability.

Self-Insurance

We are self-insured for various levels of workers’ compensation, directors’ and officers’ liability, electronic errors and omissions liability, as well as employee medical, dental, prescription drug, and disability coverage. We purchase stop loss coverage to protect against unexpected claims. Accrued insurance claims and reserves include estimated settlements for known claims and actuarial estimates of claims incurred but not reported.

State and Federal Taxes

We are subject to sales, use, income and other tax audits and administrative proceedings in various federal, state, and local jurisdictions. While we believe we have properly reported our tax liabilities in each jurisdiction, we can give no assurance that taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that increase our tax liabilities.

14. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at the fair value of the instruments. Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use and resulting designation. We use derivative financial instruments to minimize our market risk exposure resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The primary business objective of our hedging program, as defined in our corporate risk management policy, is to minimize the impact of transaction, remeasurement, and specified economic exposures to our net income and earnings per share. The counter parties to these instruments are major commercial banks and we believe that losses related to credit risk are remote. We are not party to leveraged derivatives and do not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Hedging

We routinely use derivative financial instruments to hedge our net exposure, by currency, related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional foreign currency. These hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value that are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. These forward exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133 and resulting gains or losses are recognized in current earnings.

From time to time, we enter into sales commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Our policy is to hedge significant firm commitments denominated in foreign currency with forward exchange contracts to protect the US dollar value of the revenues. These forward exchange contracts have been designated as fair value hedges under SFAS 133 and related gains or losses are included as a component of the hedged transaction when recorded. Gains and losses related to the hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in other income or expense. Time value is excluded from effectiveness testing.

At June 30, 2004, our net foreign currency exposure of $36.4 million related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currency was hedged with $20.5 million in forward currency contracts. At September 30, 2003, our net foreign currency exposure of $39.7 million related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currency was hedged with $28.1 million in forward contracts.

Interest Rate Management

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we entered into four interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $350.0 million, primarily to diversify a portion of our debt portfolio between fixed and variable rate instruments. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we will make payments based on a specific spread

14

over six-month LIBOR and receive payments equal to the interest rate on our fixed rate senior notes due in 2009. These interest rate swaps are fair value hedges, which qualify for the shortcut method of accounting under SFAS 133, allowing for an assumption of no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. Accordingly, we recorded the change in the fair value of the swap instruments as non-current assets or liabilities with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the related debt. These swaps were cancelled on July 9, 2004 in conjunction with the early redemption of our senior notes on July 16, 2004. See Note 9.

Convertible Debentures Yield Adjustment

The yield adjustment feature of our debentures requires contingent cash interest payments that are triggered by our stock price and is thus considered an embedded derivative under SFAS 133 requiring bifurcation. However, if an upward adjustment were anticipated to go into effect, IGT could exercise its redemption right. Therefore, an investor could be expected to attribute no economic value to the yield adjustment feature. Accordingly, we have ascribed no value and recorded no derivative asset or liability for this embedded derivative.

15. Business Segments

On a consolidated basis, we do not recognize inter-company revenues or expenses upon the transfer of gaming products between subsidiaries. IGT’s segment profit reflects income from continuing operations before tax, including an applicable allocation of operating expenses, as well as other income and expense. Depreciation and amortization reflected below includes the amounts presented separately on the income statements, plus depreciation that is classified as a component of cost of product sales and cost of gaming operations. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current management view and presentation.

IGT operates principally in the following lines of business:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COMPANY OVERVIEW

International Game Technology is a world leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and sales of computerized gaming machines and systems products in all jurisdictions where gaming is legal. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “International Game Technology,” “IGT,” “we,” “our,” or “the Company” includes International Game Technology and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries and VIEs. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2003.

In this document, italicized text with an attached superscript trademark or copyright notation indicates trademarks of IGT or its licensors. For a complete list of trademark and copyright ownership information, please visit our website at www.IGT.com.

Our continuing operations consist of two lines of business: product sales and proprietary gaming. Revenues in our product sales segment are generated from the sale of gaming machines, systems, royalty and license fees, parts, conversion kits, content fees, equipment and services. Revenues in our proprietary gaming segment are of a recurring nature based on the placement of gaming machines and equipment under various participation or flat fee arrangements.

Discontinued operations related to various Anchor operations divested subsequent to our December 2001 acquisition of Anchor. See Note 5 of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We completed our acquisition of Acres on October 27, 2003, which contributed additional systems product sales to our consolidated operating income results. Acres contributed $10.2 million in revenues and $6.5 million in gross profits to the third quarter just ended, adding a total of $40.6 million in revenues and $25.2 million in gross profits for the first nine months of fiscal 2004.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2004, we adopted FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The initial consolidation of the trusts’ balance sheets at March 31, 2004 added $185.2 million in total assets and liabilities, primarily consisting of jackpot liabilities and related assets. Beginning with our third quarter ended June 30, 2004, we additionally consolidated $11.2 million in quarterly revenues and expenses of the trusts, as well as $187.8 million in total assets and liabilities. Although these VIE consolidations had no material impact to gross profit or net income, our proprietary gaming gross margin was reduced by approximately 2%.

The market price condition for convertibility of our debentures was met during the conversion periods ended January 20, April 20, and July 20, 2004. As a result, the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per share applies to our second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2004. We will include the dilutive effect of our outstanding debentures for all future periods that the conversion requirements are met. See Note 10 of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the computation of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We anticipate fourth quarter diluted EPS will be approximately $0.01 less than it would be if the condition for convertibility was not met.

OVERALL CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

* Not meaningful

IGT achieved record financial results in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2004. Our proprietary gaming segment improved during the current quarter due to increased game placements from growth in various new markets. The product sales segment grew in the current nine months as a result of continued replacement demand across our domestic and international markets.

Significant items affecting comparability of income from continuing operations in the current quarter and nine months to the prior year periods included:

Additionally, the first nine months in our current year included one additional week due to the timing of our 52/53-week accounting year. The extra week primarily impacted proprietary gaming, resulting in increases of approximately $19.9 million to revenues, $11.1 million to gross profit and $8.0 million to operating expenses.

Operating Expenses
