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 period ended August 1, 2010 (the “Report”), within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense, primarily due to the efforts required to complete its assessment of an expected non-cash impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets relating to its bingo reporting unit and an expected non-cash impairment of intangible assets relating to both its bingo and VLT/Slot reporting units.  The Company requires additional time to file the Report to appropriately review 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”).  The Company will not complete the required analysis to determine the amount of the goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible asset impairment charges prior to the prescribed filing date.  The Company hopes to complete the analysis, record the goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible asset impairment charges within the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010 and file its Form 10-Q no later than September 20, 2010, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

 Yes
 No
   
 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
 Yes
  No
 
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made:
 
Attachment to Form 12b-25
 
Explanation for Part IV, Item 3.
 
The Company performs an annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment test in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, measured as of the last day of the third quarter of each fiscal year. However, given the recent decrease in the Company’s market capitalization, continued delay in product introductions, and current liquidity constraints, the Company has determined that the presence of these impairment indicators necessitates accelerating the testing of its bingo reporting unit for goodwill impairment and the testing of intangible and long-lived assets for both bingo and VLT/Slot, during the third quarter of its fiscal year.
 
In connection with the Company's interim goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible asset impairment analysis under ASC 350 and ASC 360, the Company has determined that it will likely be required to record a significant impairment charge to goodwill within its bingo reporting unit, an impairment to long-lived assets within it bingo reporting unit, and an impairment charge to intangible assets within its bingo and VLT/Slot reporting units, in the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010.  Due to the complexity of the required ASC 350 and ASC 360 calculations to determine these charges, the Company is still in the process of finalizing the appropriate estimated charges to be recorded.
 
As a result of the impact of the expected goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible asset impairment charges and the continuing impact of the current economic environment on the gaming industry and the Company's results, the Company anticipates a significant decrease in net revenues and a significant operating loss for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, which will be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations to be included in its Form 10-Q.  A reasonable quantitative estimate of the operating loss cannot be made at this time as the Company’s financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2010 are not yet finalized as stated in Part III above due to the fact that the Company is still in the process of determining the final estimated interim goodwill, long-lived asset, and intangible asset impairment charges to be recorded in the third quarter of 2010.
 
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,” “hope,” “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 including, in particular, the Company’s ability to finalize its assessment of its interim goodwill impairment analysis by the extended filing deadline.  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.
