RENO, Nev., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GameTech International, Inc. (NASDAQ:GMTC), a leading designer, developer and marketer of electronic bingo and gaming equipment, systems, and video lottery terminals, today announced a revision of its results of operations for fiscal fourth quarter 2007 and fiscal year 2007 that were previously announced in its press release dated January 14, 2008. The revision results in a decrease of $665,000 in revenue and a decrease of $337,000 in net income in fiscal fourth quarter 2007 and fiscal year 2007 from the results previously reported. The revision was a result of a closer review by management and the company's independent auditors of the proper accounting treatment for two invoices related to a single non-standard arrangement involving multiple delivery elements with a customer in our Summit Gaming division. This revenue and related net income will be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. As revised, net income totaled $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, or $0.10 per fully diluted share, which is up from $1.0 million and $0.08 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Net income for fiscal year 2007 reached $4.7 million, or $0.36 per fully diluted share, compared with $4.4 million or $0.34 per fully diluted share for fiscal 2006.

Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), GameTech believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of GameTech's past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor because EBITDA is used by virtually all companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining GameTech's operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, follows: Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net Income to EBITDA: (dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended October 31, October 31, 2007 2006 2007 2006 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Unaudited) Net income $1,313 $1,036 $4,671 $4,383 Add back: Amortization and depreciation 2,859 2,619 11,544 10,317 Net interest expense 826 (130) 1,617 (372) Provision for income taxes 701 804 2,667 2,961 EBITDA $5,699 $4,329 $20,499 $17,289 DATASOURCE: GameTech International, Inc.
