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-K for the year ended October 30, 2011 (the “Report”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense.  The delay is primarily a result of management devoting a substantial amount of its time and effort  (1) to finalize an amendment to its existing credit facility with U.S. Bank, N.A. and Bank of West (the “Lenders”), (2) to complete the sale of its corporate headquarters, and (3) to complete and file its Form 10-Q for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2011.  As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Waiver of Defaults with the Lenders on December 22, 2011and closed to sale of its corporate headquarters to Kassbohrer All Terrain Vehicles, Inc., on December 28, 2011.  The Company intends to file the Report no later than February 14, 2012, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

Explanation for Part IV, Item 3.
 
For the fiscal year ended October 30, 2011, we expect to report an approximate decrease of $4.3 million, or 12.2%, in net revenue as compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.  Net revenue in our bingo segment for fiscal 2011 is expected to decrease by approximately $5.9 million, or 19.6%, to approximately $24.2 million, compared to fiscal 2010.  VLT revenue is expected to increase by $1.6 million, or 31.1%, to approximately $6.7 million.  The anticipated decrease in net bingo revenue is primarily due to pricing pressures and bingo hall closures from adverse economic conditions and loss of customers to competitors.  The anticipated increase in VLT net revenue is primarily due to increased sales of new equipment in Montana, relating to the completion of the first phase of our 2008 Purchase, Sale, and Software Development Agreement with Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC.
 
Cost of revenue is expected to decrease by approximately $1.3 million year over year, with bingo cost of revenue expected to decrease approximately $2 million, or 16.8%, and VLT/slot cost of revenue expected to increase approximately $717 thousand, or 16.5%.  The anticipated decrease in bingo cost of revenue is primarily due to a decrease in current depreciation expense ($1.2 million) as our Traveler and Tracker units became fully depreciated, staff reductions ($0.7 million) to align our costs to lower business levels and a reduction in contracted labor ($0.3 million), offset in part by increased amortization ($0.1 million) related to the acquired license rights for the Explorer unit.  The anticipated increase in VLT cost of revenue is directly related to the increase in VLT cost of equipment and parts ($1.9 million) related to the completion of the first phase of our agreement with Rocky Mountain Industries, LLC, offset by decreases in write offs of obsolete equipment and parts ($1.4 million) compared to fiscal 2010.
 
Gross profit for the year ended October 30, 2011 is expected to decrease approximately $3.0 million, or 16%, to $16.0 million, as compared to the fiscal 2010.  Bingo gross profit is expected to decrease approximately $3.9 million, or 21.4%, with VLT gross profit expected to increase approximately $870 thousand, or 115.5%, year over year.
 
Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 30, 2011 are expected to decrease by approximately $8.1 million, or 28.3%, to $20.6 million as compared to fiscal 2010.  The expected decrease is primarily the result of a $3.3 million decrease in bad debt allowance for the VLT segment, decreases in employee costs from staffing reductions and reduced legal fees offset in part by increased costs associated with ongoing debt compliance and restructuring efforts. The decrease in operating expenses is also attributed to an expected write down of $1.9 million of the real property housing the Company’s headquarters and warehouse space in Reno, Nevada for 2011 as compared to a write down of these assets of $2.9 million in 2010.
 
The Company expects to report a net loss for the year ended October 30, 2011 of approximately $6.4 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $20.4 million for the prior year.
 
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.
