NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of GameTech International, Inc. and subsidiaries (individually and collectively the “Company”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information.  Accordingly, certain information normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed and/or omitted.  For further information, please refer to the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the related notes included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010, previously filed with the SEC, from which the balance sheet information as of that date is derived.

Management has evaluated the consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  The results for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

For reporting purposes, certain general and administrative expenses are reported as “corporate expenses” (Note 14) and are no longer allocated to the segments.  Other income (expense) items and income taxes (benefit) are also not allocated to the business segments.  In addition, certain minor reclassifications have also been made to the fiscal 2010 interim amounts to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on loss from operations and net loss.

2.      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASURES

For the Company’s cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short duration of these financial instruments.  Assets held for sale consist of real estate and are measured at estimated fair value and no longer subject to depreciation (Note 5).
 
3.      CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company’s offshore foreign bank balances of $51 thousand as of July 31, 2011 are not covered by federal deposit insurance (FDIC), but domestic interest bearing accounts are insured for $250 thousand per taxpayer and domestic non-interest bearing accounts are insured without limit.  On July 31, 2011, the Company’s domestic interest bearing deposits exceeded the FDIC insurance limits by approximately $0.6 million.

No one customer made up more than 10.0% of our overall revenue for the 13-week periods ended July 31, 2011 and August 1, 2010.  One customer made up 14.8% of our overall revenue for the 39-week period ended July 31, 2011 primarily due to the substantial completion of the first phase of our 2008 Purchase, Sale and Software Development Agreement with Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC, a VLT customer.  No single customer made up more than 10.0% of our overall revenue for the 39-week period ended August 1, 2010.

The Company conducts a substantial amount of business through distributor relationships.  As part of these relationships, many of our distributors also act as collection agents.  As of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, there was one non-agent distributor that represented 46.1% and 44.6%, respectively, of the consolidated accounts receivable balances.  The Company’s allowance for doubtful collection as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 for this non-agent distributor was approximately 65.8% and 82.1%, respectively.  The reduction in our allowance for doubtful accounts and our accounts receivable is a result of the recovery of certain inventory.

5.      ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
During fiscal 2010, the Company listed the real property housing its corporate headquarters and warehouse space in Reno, Nevada for sale.  Accordingly, the real estate was reclassified “as held for sale” and written down to its then estimated fair value, which originally resulted in an impairment loss of $2.9 million based primarily on listing information (Level 2 inputs).  During the quarter ended January 30, 2011, an additional impairment loss of $0.4 million was recorded.  During the quarter ended July 31, 2011, management made an additional write down of $1.4 million, recorded as an impairment loss based on current market conditions and resultant valuation metrics.  On December 28, 2011, the Company sold the real property housing its corporate headquarters and warehouse space for a purchase price of $6.125 million.  Net proceeds from the sale of the property were used to reduce the outstanding principal balance under our loan agreement.  For additional information on the sale of our headquarters, see Note 17.

6.      BINGO EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT

Bingo equipment includes portable and fixed-based player terminals, file servers, caller units, point-of-sale units, and other support equipment.  The Company accelerates depreciation (effectively providing reserves) for equipment that the Company does not expect to use based on demand forecasts.

7.      IMPAIRMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The Company reviews long-lived assets (consisting of bingo equipment, furniture, other equipment, and finite life intangibles) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Similarly, when circumstances indicate that goodwill associated with the Company’s bingo business and/or other indefinite life intangibles might not be recoverable, an impairment analysis is also performed.  Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  The Company performs an annual impairment analysis in the third quarter of every year.  The 2011, testing based on current market conditions and resultant valuation metrics, resulted in no additional impairment.

8.      INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACT

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its interest rate exposure on its credit facility whereby the Company agreed to pay the counterparty a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty agreeing to pay us a variable rate payment that approximates our variable rate payment obligation on the Credit Facility (Note 13).  The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of interest rate swaps could increase or decrease the effective interest rate under our credit facility.  Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk, and exposures to loss in the related amounts.  The estimated market value of interest rate swaps is determined using pricing models that consider the time value of money, volatility, and the current market and contractual prices of the underlying financial instrument.  Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  The change in value of interest rate swaps, including the accrual of periodic amounts of interest to be paid/received on swaps, is reported as interest expense.  The interest rate swap agreement continues to remain in place following the Company’s entry into the Credit Facility on June 15, 2011.  The effective interest rate after entering into the First Amendment on December 22, 2011 remained unchanged, at 9.79%.

9.      LACK OF LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily through cash from operations and debt financing activities.  However, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since the quarter ended April 30, 2008 and was in default under its loan agreement until its entry into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with its lenders on June 15, 2011 ("the Credit Facility").  For additional information on the Credit Facility, see Note 13.

Cash balances may decrease as the Company continues to use existing cash and cash from operations to fund its ongoing operations, capital expenditures and debt obligations.  Unless the Company is able to generate increased cash from existing operations and/or raise additional capital, management does not believe that existing cash from operations and cash balances will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months.   Management is currently exploring what, if any, strategic alternatives are available to the Company in order to meet its operating and capital needs for the next 12 months, including business combinations, strategic partnerships and the sale of Company assets.  If the Company is unsuccessful in these efforts, the Company will not be able to satisfy its debt obligations, invest the resources necessary to obtain regulatory approvals in new markets, continue the development and deployment of current and new products, and/or respond to competitive market pressures and requirements.  Our failure to generate additional cash through operations and strategic alternatives would adversely affect our business and, ultimately, lead to the financial and operating failure of the Company.

10.   NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share (EPS) is computed by dividing reported net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding at the end of each period.  Diluted EPS in profitable years is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and other common stock equivalents outstanding during each period.  Diluted common shares are determined using the treasury stock method, which treats the proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options as if used to reacquire stock at market value.  There are no adjustments to arrive at net loss applicable to common shareholders (the numerator of the EPS calculation).  The following reflects the adjustments to the denominator assuming profitable years and the related number of anti-dilutive shares:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding
    11,839       11,736       11,826       11,736  
Incremental shares from the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options
    16       2       135       331  
Dilutive weighted shares
    11,855       11,738       11,961       12,067  
                                 
Weighted average number of anti-dilutive shares outstanding
    1,244       819       1,186       597  
 
In all periods included above, the effect of incremental shares related to dilutive stock options is anti-dilutive due to net losses in such periods.

11.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and potential claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. Management is unable to estimate a range of potential loss, if any, associated with these matters.  Management does not believe, based in part on the advice of counsel, that any of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition.  Accordingly, a non-material provision for loss has been recorded.

12.   INCOME TAXES

The actual effective tax rate of pre-tax loss for the 39-week periods ended July 31, 2011 and August 1, 2010 is 2.8% and 117.3% of pre-tax loss, and is different from the expected federal rate of a negative 34% due to foreign tax reporting, the effects of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and permanent differences between financial and income tax reporting.

For the quarter ended July 31, 2011, the Company had a 100% valuation allowance ($16.3 million) against deferred tax assets, which were associated with federal and state net operating loss carry forwards, foreign tax credits, reserves, amortization of intangibles and deferred revenue.  Significant management judgment is required in establishing a valuation allowance for the Company’s net deferred tax assets.  In doing so, the Company considers available positive and negative evidence giving weight to recent cumulative losses, the ability to carry back losses to offset prior taxable income and verifiable forecasts of prospective financial results and taxable income, including the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.  Management’s decision to provide a 100% valuation allowance for the Company’s deferred tax assets was due to: (1) continuing operating losses for the VLT business unit; (2) year-over-year market declines in certain VLT jurisdictions; (3) continued reductions in Bingo revenue; and (4) uncertainty about the Company’s ability to fund the capital needs for future growth in new jurisdictions.  The 100% valuation allowance will continue until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal.

The Company files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to United States federal, income tax examinations for years before 2006, and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign tax examinations for years before 2005.

As a result of the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 the IRS has proposed certain adjustments to the depreciable life used in calculating federal tax depreciation on the Company’s leased electronic bingo systems.  The Company has accrued tax, interest and penalties totaling $1.3 million and filed a petition with the IRS Tax Court challenging the IRS proposal.  The tax court has subsequently remanded the appeal back to the IRS appeals office.  If the IRS prevails, any required payment would be offset by the additional depreciation benefits on amended returns for subsequent years resulting in a cashless settlement, except for possible interest and penalties, if any.

13.   NOTES PAYABLE

In 2010, as a result of several defaults under our prior loan agreement, the outstanding principal balance was re-classified from long-term to current at May 2, 2010.  On June 15, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with its lenders to extend the maturity of the facility to June 30, 2012 (the “Credit Facility”).  With execution of the Credit Facility, the Company regained compliance with its borrowings.  For a description of our prior loan agreement, see Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.

The Credit Facility provides that as long as the Company remains in compliance with its terms as of June 30, 2012, the term of the facility will extend from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013.  Substantially all of the assets of the Company collateralize the Company’s borrowings.  As of July 31, 2011, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was approximately $24.0 million.  The remaining balance under the revolver portion of the facility was paid in full upon execution of the Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility does not impose any obligation on the part of our lenders to provide additional financing to the Company.

The Credit Facility restates the terms for repayment by the Company of the outstanding balances under the old Credit Facility.  Under the terms of this agreement, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal in the amount of $0.2 million from August 2011 through June 2012, and if extended through October 2012, increasing to $0.3 million from November 2012 until the facility matures on June 30, 2013, at which time the remaining principal balance becomes due.

All outstanding balances under the Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate, which is equal to an applicable margin plus the daily Eurocurrency rate or an alternative base rate (as provided for in the agreement).  The current applicable margin is 5.80%, and increases to 7.50% (February 2012 through April 2012), 8.50% (May 2012 through October 2012) and 9.50% (November 2012 through June 30, 2013).  In addition to the applicable margin, a daily Eurocurrency base rate is applied which is the one month LIBOR rate.   The LIBOR rate at July 31, 2011 was 0.19%.  Upon an event of default, the interest rate under the facility will increase by 3%.  The Company’s interest rate swap agreement continues to remain in place following the Company’s entry into the new loan agreement.  As of July 31, 2011, the interest rate on the Credit Facility after giving effect to the interest rate swap was 9.79%.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to apply 75% of its excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement) as of the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the quarter ending July 31, 2011 towards the satisfaction of its obligations under the facility.  Additionally, the Company is required to apply 100% of the proceeds from certain transactions and other sources to the prepayment of its obligations under the facility, including the net cash proceeds from any sale of assets (other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business), financings, excess insurance proceeds from casualty events, condemnation awards, the receipt of specific assets, and other events as specified in the agreement.  In addition, the agreement prohibits capital expenditures for any use other than purchases of equipment for leasing to customers in the ordinary course of business, and limits the amount of capital expenditures that may be made by the Company to $5.0 million and $3.5 million for fiscal years 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company is required to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants.  The financial covenants include requirements that the Company maintain minimum quarterly profitability (as defined in the agreement), quarterly consolidated EBITDA, and cash flow leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, which are measured monthly beginning July 4, 2011.  Additionally, the Company is required to maintain at least $0.75 million in liquidity at all times.

The non-financial covenants include restrictions on asset divestitures, liens, transactions with related parties, limitations on additional indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions and consolidations, cash dividends, issuance and redemptions of stock, investments, sale leaseback transactions, operations outside of the submitted strategic plan, a change of control, as well as a requirement to continue to retain a consultant that is acceptable to both the lenders and the Company.

In consideration for its entry into the Credit Facility, the Company was required to pay a closing fee in the amount of approximately $0.7 million, half of which was due at closing.  The remaining half was due December 31, 2011. The agreement also required a payment of $1.0 million at closing, which was first applied to the portion of the closing fee due at closing and second to the outstanding principal balance of the term loan.  In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, $1.0 million of the remaining $2.8 million relating to certain tax refunds received by the Company and held by U.S. Bank in a control account was applied to the payment due at closing, with the remaining $1.8 million released to the Company for certain capital expenditures permitted by the Credit Facility (and therefore classified as non-current restricted cash as of the May 1, 2011 balance sheet date.)  Following the closing of the Credit Facility and payment of the required payments on June 15, 2011, the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility was $23.9 million.  As of September 4, 2011, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Facility with U. S. Bank N.A. and Bank of the West (collectively “Lenders”).  The noncompliance of those covenants was subsequently waived with the execution of a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Waiver of Defaults with the Lenders (the “First Amendment”) on December 22, 2011.

The First Amendment, among other things: (i) modified certain financial covenants set forth in the Credit Facility; (ii) incorporates the Lender’s consent to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters (which occurred on December 28, 2011); (iii) requires the Company to maintain at least $350 thousand in liquidity through January 31, 2012 and at least $500 thousand in liquidity at all times thereafter; and (iv) waived any and all prior events of default.

Under the terms of the First Amendment, the net cash proceeds from the sale of the corporate headquarters were applied: (i) to pay an amendment fee equal to $214 thousand, representing one percent (1.00%) of the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility as of December 22, 2011; (ii) to pay all fees and interest due and payable under the Credit Facility as of the sale date (including all current interest, all deferred interest accruing from June 15, 2011 through the sale date, and the remaining portion of a closing fee, in the amount of $368 thousand, incurred in connection with the closing of the Credit Facility in June 2011); and (iii) to pay down the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility.

The First Amendment also modifies certain covenants contained in the Credit Facility, and (i) requires the Company to apply 75% of its excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Facility) as of the end of each fiscal quarter towards the satisfaction of its obligations under the Credit Facility; (ii) to the extent liquidity exceeds $1.5 million at any time, requires the Company to apply such excess towards the satisfaction of its obligations under the Credit Facility; and (iii) prohibits capital expenditures for any use other than purchases of equipment for leasing to customers in the ordinary course of business, and limits the amount of capital expenditures that may be made by the Company.

As of December 22, 2011, after giving effect to an unscheduled principal payment of $1.5 million on December 9, 2011, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was approximately $21.4 million.  Following the application of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the corporate headquarters, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility as of December 28, 2011 was approximately $16.6 million.  The Company expects that it will be required to make payments of $8.7 million in the twelve-month period ending July 29, 2012 (inclusive of approximately $0.6 million through the end of the current fiscal year ended October 30, 2011) to remain compliant with all of the Credit Facility covenants.  If all of the covenants and payments have been met, the maturity date of the Credit Facility will be extended to June 30, 2013.  If that occurs, for the remaining period, (July 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013) the Company will be required to pay approximately $3.0 million with a remaining payment of $12.2 million.

The outstanding balance under the Credit Facility continues to bear interest at a base rate equal to an applicable margin plus the daily Eurocurrency rate or an alternative base rate (as provided for in the Credit Facility).  The current applicable margin is 5.80%, and increases to 7.50% (February 2012 through April 2012), 8.50% (May 2012 through October 2012) and 9.50% (November 2012 through June 30, 2013).  However, the Company’s interest rate swap agreement continues to remain in place following its entry into the Credit Facility and the First Amendment.  As of December 22, 2011, the interest rate on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreement, was 9.79%.

14.   BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Management has identified two operating segments.  Each operating segment is considered a reporting segment, which is described as follows:  Our Bingo segment is involved in the design, development, marketing, and leasing of interactive electronic bingo systems consisting of portable and fixed-based systems.  Our VLT segment is involved in the design, development, manufacturing, and sale of gaming equipment consisting of video lottery terminals and other video gaming devices and the design, development and licensing of gaming content and software.
 
The Company records identifiable assets and costs for the Bingo and VLT segments within the respective segment.  General overhead costs of the Company are not allocated to the segments and are instead reflected as “Corporate” (see “Results of Operations”).  Corporate assets consist primarily of assets held for sale and restricted cash.  Measurement of segment profit and loss as reviewed by the chief operating decision-makers do not include items classified as other income (expense) or income taxes and therefore, these items are not allocated to the segments.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the 52 weeks ended October 31, 2010, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This document includes various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Statements containing expressions such as “believes,” “anticipates,” or “expects,” used in our press releases and periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Although we believe our expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurances that actual results will not differ materially from expected results. We caution that these and similar statements included in this report are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

OVERVIEW

We are a domestic and international gaming technology company dedicated to the development and manufacturing of gaming entertainment products and systems. We hold a significant position in the North American bingo market with our interactive electronic bingo systems, portable and fixed-based gaming units, and complete hall management modules (our Bingo Segment).  We also hold a significant position in select North American VLT markets, primarily Montana, Louisiana, and South Dakota, where we offer video lottery terminals and related gaming equipment and software (our VLT Segment).  Historically, we have generated over 90% of our revenues domestically.  For the 13-week periods ended July 31, 2011 and August 1, 2010, approximately 93.5% and 93.7% of our revenues came from our Bingo Segment.

During fiscal 2011, there was a change in management of the Company.  On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Kevin Y. Painter, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, to advise the Company in its operations and provide guidance and assistance with contract manufacturers and suppliers.  On May 11, 2011, Mr. Painter was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors.  On June 21, 2011 the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Painter to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. On March 1, 2011 Andrew E. Robinson was promoted to Chief Financial Officer from Vice President of Operations.

We generate bingo revenue by placing electronic bingo systems in bingo halls under contracts based on (1) a fixed fee per unit; (2) a fixed weekly fee per terminal; or (3) a percentage of the revenue generated by each terminal. The degree of player acceptance of electronic bingo as an addition or an alternative to paper bingo affects the revenue growth of our Bingo segment.  Additionally, our revenue growth is dependent on our ability to expand operations into new markets and our ability to increase our market share in our current markets. Fixed-base bingo terminals generate greater revenue per terminal than portable bingo terminals, but also require a greater initial capital investment.  For the 13 week period ended July 31, 2011, approximately 77.1% of our bingo revenues were generated from our portable bingo systems as opposed to fixed-based bingo units, compared to 78.4% in the comparable prior year period.

Our VLT business generates revenue from the sale of new and used video lottery terminals (VLT’s) and related gaming equipment, software conversion kits, content fees, license fees, parts, and services. For the 13 week periods ended July 31, 2011 and August 1, 2010, we generated approximately 87.3% and 85.1%, respectively, of our VLT business sales from the sale of new and used equipment, conversion kits, and parts.  Increasing market share, replacement of outdated equipment in existing markets and expanding product placement into new markets drive revenue growth.

Cost of revenues includes expenses associated with technical and operational support of the bingo systems in bingo halls, depreciation and amortization of bingo terminals, cost of sales related to equipment sold, and repair/refurbishment/disposal costs of bingo terminals and related support equipment.  General and administrative costs (G&A) consist of expenses associated with management of the Company and the related support; including finance and accounting, legal, compliance, information systems, human resources, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, and amortization of intangible assets.  Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of commissions and co-op marketing funds paid to distributors for promoting and supporting our products, and compensation paid to our internal sales force to manage existing customers, to generate new customers, and sell additional and upgraded equipment.  Research and development costs consist of Company-sponsored activities to provide customers with new or enhanced games or game themes or software operating systems or modules for our VLT related gaming equipment and bingo terminals.

For the 13-week period ended July 31, 2011, we incurred a pre-tax net loss of $3.1 million or $0.27 per share.  The pre-tax loss of $3.1 million represents a $1.4 million improvement over the comparable prior year period.  G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2011 decreased from the prior period due to lower salaries and wages from staffing reductions realized in response to current business levels, reductions in bad debt expense and lower legal fees, offset in part by increased costs related to restructuring our long-term debt.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased for the third quarter of 2011 compared to prior year period due to reduced distributor commissions and lower salaries and wages from staffing reductions.  Research and development expenses decreased for the third quarter of 2011 compared to prior year period due to lower project costs as certain projects deemed unfeasible were discontinued and lower salaries and wages from staffing reductions.  Impairments of assets held for sale of $1.4 million and $1.9 million were recorded for the quarter and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011, respectively.  During the prior year period, we recorded a gain of $1.4 million related to a recovery of the purchase price of Summit Amusement and Distributing, Ltd. with no comparable transaction in current year period.

For the status of the Company’s borrowing arrangements, see Note 13 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Segments

Bingo - Historically, Bingo revenue for the third quarter is the lowest of the year.  As of July 31, 2011, we had bingo devices, games, and systems in service in 39 states, various Native American locations, the Philippines, and Canada.  We market portable, handheld and stationary, fixed-base bingo player devices; unique electronic and paper bingo games, such as Big Bad Bingo™ (“B3”™) and Crystal Ball Bingo®; other related for-fun games, such as solitaire; and bingo management systems.  Our devices display electronic bingo card images for each game and assist the players in managing and marking their bingo cards in physical bingo facilities operated in charitable, Native American, commercial, and military locations.  These devices enable players to purchase and play substantially more bingo cards compared to paper cards, typically leading to more fun and greater spend for the player and increased profits for the operator.  Our bingo management systems, such as Diamond Plus® and AllTrak 2®, provide bingo operators with important information regarding the profitability of their bingo hall(s), inventory systems, and player tracking demographics, among other modules.  We generally enter into one to three year contracts with bingo operators for the use of the bingo devices and management systems.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, deployment of the GameTech Edge Bingo System™ grew to eight states and one province in Canada.  Many of these installations also included the deployment of the exciting new Explorer™ handheld player device, which players and operators seem to prefer for its larger screen and other enhanced capabilities.  Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we upgraded our field trial version of the GameTech Edge Bingo System™ at Mohawk Bingo Palace in Hogansburg, New York.  This upgrade included the following additional management functionality modules: Inventory Management, Payout Center, Accruals and Bank Management.  At the start of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we received Gaming Laboratories, Inc (GLI) certification for this latest release of the GameTech Edge Bingo System™.  Further enhancements to the GameTech Edge Bingo System™ were released during the final quarter of fiscal 2011 and included the release of our newest hand held bingo device, the Explorer II.  The Explorer II will provide the advanced functionality of the Explorer at a substantially lower production cost, making this product available to a wider variety of customers.  Internationally, operations in the U.K. have ceased but the Company has expanded penetration in the Philippines market with the introduction of the Traveler™ along with the B3™ stand-alone systems, the GameTech Edge Bingo System™, and Crystal Ball Bingo™.
 
VLT – We also manufacture and sell video lottery terminals (VLT’s), associated gaming equipment, and related software, collectively called the “VLT business.”  We entered the VLT business on March 28, 2007 with our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Summit Amusement & Distributing, Ltd.  These machines are typically sold to route operators, bar/tavern gaming operators, and distributors.

Our product development efforts have focused on products specifically designed for several new markets as well as providing new and improved platforms and game content to our existing markets.  We continue to develop market specific products and games.  However, our ability to continue to develop these products in order to penetrate new markets and maintain and grow existing markets will largely depend on our ability to generate increased cash and/or raise additional capital as may be restricted by capital expenditure limits imposed by our Lenders.  See discussion within this Item under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Net revenues

The decrease in Bingo net revenue is due to pricing pressures and hall closures from adverse economic conditions, particularly in the charitable bingo market.  The decrease in VLT net revenues is from a reduction of software sales and new equipment sales recorded in earlier quarters in Montana.

Cost of revenues

The decrease in Bingo cost of revenue was primarily driven by lower contract labor in Florida and Louisiana at the bingo halls.  The higher VLT cost of revenues is related to the increased cost of components.

Gross profit

The decrease in Bingo revenue caused the 4.1 percentage point decrease in Bingo gross profit.  VLT gross margin decreased 51.9 percentage points from the prior year period due to the mix of sales, as current period cost of revenue was comprised of high cost new equipment and parts compared to the prior year period.

Operating expenses

General and administrative.  The increase in Bingo general and administrative operating expenses in current year was from higher bad debt.  The decrease in VLT general and administrative operating expenses in current year was due to improvements in bad debt.  Other general and administrative operating expenses that decreased were employee costs from staffing reductions, lower legal fees, offset in part by increased costs associated with on-going debt compliance and restructuring efforts.

Sales and marketing.  Bingo sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to lower distributor commissions based on lower revenues and reductions in labor costs.  The decrease in VLT sales and marketing expenses was related to reductions in labor costs and decreases in promotional expenses.

Research and development.  Bingo research and development expenses decreased as a result of reduced project costs as certain projects deemed unfeasible were discontinued.  VLT research and development expenses decreased as a result of reductions in staffing and lower project costs as certain projects deemed unfeasible were discontinued.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased as a result of the reclassification of our corporate headquarters to assets held for sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 and is no longer depreciated, rather it is periodically evaluated for possible impairment (Note 5).

Impairment loss, assets held for sale.  In the third quarter of 2010, the real estate housing the Company’s headquarters was listed as held for sale and written down to its estimated fair value.  During the quarter ended July 31, 2011, it was written down by an additional $1.4 million based on current market conditions and resultant valuation metrics.

Summit Amusement settlement.  In the third quarter of 2010 the Company recovered $1.4 million of the purchase price paid for our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Summit Amusement and Distributing, Ltd. from a dispute regarding the business’s working capital.  There was no comparable transaction in the current year.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense.  Interest expense was impacted favorably by lower debt levels, less debt amortization costs to be amortized, and by a favorable swap adjustment.

Impairment of investments.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company wrote down the net carrying value of its auction rate securities to zero.  There was no comparable transaction in the same period for the current year.

Gain on sale of investments.  In the third quarter of 2010, the Company sold auction rate securities for a gain of $0.5 million.  There was no comparable sale in the same period for the current year.

Other, net.  Decreases in other, net are primarily related to decreases in interest income as a result of the sale of the Company’s auction rate securities in the third quarter of 2010.

Net revenues

The decrease in Bingo net revenue is due to pricing pressures and hall closures from adverse economic conditions, particularly in the charitable bingo market.  The increase in VLT net revenues is primarily due to substantial completion in fiscal year 2011 of the first phase of our 2008 Purchase, Sale and Software Development Agreement with Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC.

Cost of revenues

The decrease in Bingo cost of revenue was primarily driven by large write-offs of obsolete equipment and parts in the second quarter of the prior year, staffing reductions, and lower contract labor in Florida and Louisiana at the bingo halls.  The increase in VLT cost of revenues is directly related to the increase in VLT cost of equipment for the completion of the first phase of our agreement with Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC, which included increased costs of components.

Gross profit

Bingo gross margin was 59.9%, an improvement of 0.7 points over 59.2% in the prior year period.  Bingo gross profit declined $2.2 million due to the $4.0 million decrease in bingo sales volume.  VLT gross margin was 24.2%, an improvement of 40.4 points over (16.2%) in the prior year period.  The increased VLT revenues drove the $1.7 million increase in VLT gross profit.

Operating expenses

General and administrative. The increase in Bingo general and administrative operating expenses in current year was from higher bad debt.  The decrease in VLT general and administrative operating expenses in current year was due to improvements in bad debt.  Other general and administrative operating expenses decreased due to a reduction in salaries and wages from staffing reductions, decreased legal expenses offset by ongoing debt compliance and restructuring costs related to restructuring our long-term debt.

Sales and marketing.  Bingo sales and marketing expenses decreased due to lower distributor commissions based on lower revenues, staffing reductions, and cutbacks in promotional expenditures.  The decrease in VLT sales and marketing expenses was due to staffing reductions and cutbacks in promotional expenditures.

Research and development.  Bingo research and development expenses decreased due to reduced project costs (as certain projects deemed unfeasible were discontinued) and staffing reductions.  VLT research and development expenses for the same period decreased as a result of staffing reductions and lower project costs due to fewer projects being worked on.

Impairment loss, assets held for sale.  In the third quarter of 2010, the real estate housing the Company’s headquarters was listed as held for sale and written down to its estimated fair value.  During the quarter ended January 30, 2011, an additional impairment loss of $0.4 million was recorded.  During the quarter ended July 31, 2011, an additional write down of $1.4 million was based on current market conditions and resultant valuation metrics.

Summit Amusement settlement.  In the third quarter of 2010 the Company recovered $1.4 million of the purchase price paid for our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Summit Amusement and Distributing, Ltd. from a dispute regarding the business’s working capital.  There was no comparable transaction in the current year.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, obsolescence, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, impairment of investments, loss contingencies, provision for income taxes, and stock based compensation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgment. These critical accounting policies are discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2010 Form 10-K. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 31, 2011, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and equivalents of $2.1 million, restricted cash of $0.8 million and net accounts receivable of $2.9 million.  As of July 31, 2011, we had negative working capital of $21.2 million compared to a negative working capital of $19.8 million as of October 31, 2010; a decrease of $1.4 million.   The decrease in working capital of $1.4 million is related to operational decreases in current assets of $7.6 million and current liabilities of $6.2 million.  Of the decreases in current liabilities, $4.0 million was related to pay downs on our debt and interest rate swap.

Operating Activities:

Operating activities provided $3.9 million of cash for the 39 weeks ended July 31, 2011 compared to $2.9 million for the comparable period in 2010.  
 
 
15

 
 
Operating assets decreased including net accounts receivable ($0.5 million), taxes receivable ($2.7 million), and inventory of ($1.8 million). Decreases in net accounts receivable were due to declines in revenues, decreases in income taxes receivable resulted from receipt of our 2006 income tax refund claim and the decrease in inventory was due to the sale and shipment of product.
 
Operating liabilities decreased $2.1 million primarily as a result of a $2.2 million reduction in deferred revenues related to shipment of product under the first phase of the Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC, agreement.

During the 39 weeks ended August 1, 2010, cash provided from operating activities was $2.9 million which consisted of a net loss of $19.9 million, adjusted positively by $6.7 million for depreciation, amortization, obsolescence provisions, valuation allowance for deferred taxes of $13.9 million, and impairment of real estate held for sale of $2.9 million, offset by $1.6 million in gains on sales of investments and bingo equipment.

Investing Activities:

Investing activities used approximately $2.3 million of cash during the 39 weeks ended July 31, 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2010.  The $2.3 million use of cash primarily consisted of the purchase of bingo equipment for $1.0 million, deposits of $0.9 million on purchases of bingo equipment, and purchase of intangibles of $0.3 million.  During the 39 weeks ended August 1, 2010, the $2.1 million use of cash consisted of $1.6 million of capital expenditures, and $1.8 million in acquisition of a license to manufacture and distribute a portable hand-held gaming device, offset by $1.3 million proceeds from the sale of auction rate securities.

Financing Activities:

Financing activities used $1.5 million during the 39 weeks ended July 31, 2011, which consisted of $4.7 million used to pay down a portion of the Credit Facility and $0.5 million in closing fees incurred as a result of amending our loan agreement, offset by $3.7 million provided by restricted cash and proceeds from borrowings.  The $3.5 million used during the 39 weeks ended August 1, 2010 consisted of $2.3 million used to pay long-term debt, $2.4 million of restricted cash to pay down debt, offset by proceeds from borrowings under our Revolver portion of our Credit Facility of approximately $0.9 million and borrowings under our Line of Credit facility of  $0.3 million.

As of September 4, 2011, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Facility with U. S. Bank N.A. and Bank of the West (collectively “Lenders”).  The noncompliance of those covenants was subsequently waived with the execution of the First Amendment on December 22, 2011. The First Amendment, among other things: (i) modifies certain financial covenants set forth in the Credit Facility; (ii) incorporates the Lender’s consent to the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters (which occurred on December 28, 2011); (iii) requires the Company to maintain at least $350 thousand in liquidity through January 31, 2012 and at least $500 thousand in liquidity at all times thereafter; and (iv) waives any and all prior events of default.  There were no changes to the monthly payments of principal of $0.2 million from August 2011 through June 2012 and if extended, through June 2013, increasing to $0.3 million from November 2012 until the Credit Facility matures on June 2013 ($2.8 million) at which time the remaining principal balance of $12.2 million becomes due.  The Company expects that it will be required to make payments of $8.7 million in the twelve-month period ending July 29, 2012 (inclusive of approximately $0.6 million through the end of the current fiscal year ended October 30, 2011) to remain compliant with all of the Credit Facility covenants.  If all of the covenants and payments are met, the maturity date of the Credit Facility will be extended to June 30, 2013.  If that occurs, for the remaining period, (July 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013) the Company will be required to pay approximately $3.0 million with a remaining payment of $12.2 million.

On November 2, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “ Sale Agreement”) to sell certain real property and improvements and certain other assets including approximately 4.9 acres of land, an industrial facility consisting of approximately 115,000 square feet, and certain other assets related to the property to Kassbohrer All Terrain Vehicles, Inc. (the “Buyer”) for $6.125 million.  As of December 22, 2011, after giving effect to an unscheduled principal payment of $1.5 million on December 9, 2011, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility was approximately $21.4 million.  Following the application of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the corporate headquarters, the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility as of December 28, 2011 was approximately $16.6 million.

On December 28, 2011, the Company and the Buyer closed the sale of the Property.  All of the net proceeds from the sale of the Property were used by the Company to reduce the outstanding obligations under its Credit Facility.  There are no material relationships between the Buyer and the Company, or any of its affiliates directors, officers, or their associates, other than in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company expects to lease a significant portion of the Property from the Buyer for a period of approximately sixteen months from the closing date.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2011-04) to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and IFRS.  This update is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company does not feel that this will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  There were no new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on our financial statements during the nine months ended July 31, 2011.

ITEM 4.      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure 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.

Our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c).  Based on that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continue to remain ineffective as certain financial reporting staffing deficiencies caused a material weakness in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reassigned and added personnel and continues to make significant improvements in the performance review and approval of account analysis and accelerating the periodic closing process.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
