PART III - NARRATIVE
  
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period:
  
GameTech International, Inc. (the "Company") is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the thirteen week period ended July 31, 2011 (the “Report”), within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense, due to the efforts required to complete an annual interim review of the valuation of its goodwill, long-lived assets, and intangible assets pursuant to ASC 350 – “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” and ASC 360 – “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”).  While the Company is not expected to record a significant impairment charge to its goodwill, long-lived assets, or intangible assets within the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011, the Company requires additional time to file the Report in order to appropriately complete its assessment and review of the valuation of its goodwill, long-lived assets, and intangible assets.  The Company hopes to complete this analysis and file the Report no later than September 19, 2010, as prescribed by Rule 12b-25.

Attachment to Form 12b-25
 
Explanation for Part IV, Item 3.
 
For the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011, we expect to report net revenue of $6.2 million, an approximate $1.2 million decrease in net revenue as compared to the prior year period.  Net revenue in our bingo segment for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 is expected to decrease by approximately $1.1 million, or 16%, to approximately $5.8 million, compared to the prior year period.  VLT/slot revenue is expected to decrease by $67 thousand, or 14%, to approximately $400 thousand.  The anticipated decrease in net bingo revenue is primarily due to hall closures from adverse economic conditions, and competitive pressures.  The anticipated decrease in VLT/slot net revenue is primarily due to a reduction in software and new equipment sales in Montana.
 
Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization is expected to decrease by approximately $32 thousand, quarter over quarter, with bingo cost of revenue expected to decrease approximately $183 thousand, or 11%, and VLT/slot cost of revenue expected to increase approximately $151 thousand, or 48%.  The anticipated decrease in bingo cost of revenue is primarily due to lower contract labor at bingo halls in Florida and Louisiana.  The expected increase in VLT/slot cost of revenue is due to an increase in VLT costs of equipment and parts sold.
 
Gross profit for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011 is expected to decrease approximately $1.1 million to $3.4 million, as compared to the prior year period.  Bingo gross profit is expected to decrease approximately $901 thousand, or 21%, with VLT/slot gross profit expected to decrease approximately $227 thousand, or 168%, period over period.
 
Operating expenses for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011 are expected to decrease by approximately $2.7 million to $5.8 million as compared to the prior year period results.
 
The Company expects to report a net loss for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011 of approximately $3.1 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $3.9 million for the prior year period.
 
This Form 12b-25 includes forwarding-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the Company and the financial results it expects to report that are not historical facts and are indicated by words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” other formulations of those terms and similar terms.  Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs, which are subject to change, and involve certain risks and uncertainties.  These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward looking statement.
