GAMETECH INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION  

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of April 30, 2008 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP  for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and interim results have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year or any other period.

The balance sheet at October 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007 and any other of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Allowance for doubtful accounts, obsolescence, impairment of goodwill, loss contingencies, provision for income taxes, and stock-based compensation are significant estimates made by us. Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period reclassifications have been made to conform to classifications in the current period.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We recognize revenue when the following criteria are met:
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement between us and our customer exists,
·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
·
The price is fixed or determinable, and
·
Collectability is reasonably assured.

We earn our revenue in a variety of ways. We offer our products for lease or sale. We also sell service and software updates for our sold equipment.

Bingo Equipment
Revenue is recognized for bingo terminals and bingo systems installed as a single element placed in bingo halls under contracts based on (1) a fixed fee per use per session; (2) a fixed weekly fee per terminal; or (3) a percentage of the revenue generated by each terminal. Revenue recognition is a key component of our results of operations, and determines the timing of certain expenses, such as commissions. We recognize revenue when all of the following factors exist: (a) evidence of an arrangement with the customer; (b) play or availability of the bingo terminals; (c) a fixed or determinable fee; and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. We exercise judgment in assessing the credit worthiness of customers to determine whether collectability is reasonably assured. Should changes in conditions cause us to determine the factors are not met for future transactions, revenue recognized for future reporting periods could be adversely affected.

Video Lottery Terminal
Our product sales revenues are generated from the sale of video lottery terminals, conversion kits, content fees, license fees, participation fees, equipment and services. Revenues are recorded in accordance with Statement of Position No 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition and are reported net of discounts, sales taxes and other taxes of a similar nature. Revenues related to contracted production are recognized as the related work is delivered. We recognize license fee revenues over the term of the associated agreement unless the fee is in exchange for products delivered or services performed that represent the culmination of a separate earnings process. Amounts received prior to completing the earnings process are deferred until revenue recognition criteria are met.

 Our sales credit terms are predominately 30 days. In certain limited circumstances, we may extend credit terms up to 160 days.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Accounts receivable are recorded when revenue is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of our receivables, net of allowances, represents our estimated net realizable value.

Bingo Equipment
We estimate the possible losses resulting from non-payment of outstanding accounts receivable arising from the lease of our bingo units. Our customer base consists primarily of entities operating in charitable, Native American, and commercial bingo halls located throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. In some jurisdictions, the billing and collection function is performed as part of a distributor relationship, and in those instances, we maintain allowances for possible losses resulting from non-payment by both the customer and distributor. We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers and distributors for credit worthiness, economic trends, changes in our customer payment terms, and historical collection experience when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. We also reserve a percentage of our accounts receivable based on aging category. In determining these percentages, we review historical write-offs of our receivables, payment trends, and other available information. While such estimates have been within our expectations and the provisions established, a change in financial condition of specific customers or in overall trends experienced may result in future adjustments of our estimates of recoverability of our receivables.

Video Lottery Terminals
We estimate the possible losses resulting from non-payment of outstanding accounts receivable arising from the sale of video lottery terminals and related equipment. Our customer base consists of casinos located in various states and Native American territories. We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers and distributors for credit worthiness, economic trends, changes in our customer payment terms, and historical collection experience when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts.

INVENTORIES  

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Our raw material is valued using the first-in, first-out method and our finished goods are valued using standard costing that approximates the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving or obsolete items. Inventories consist of the following at April 30, 2008 (in thousands):
 
 
   
April 30, 2008
 
Inventory – parts
  $ 2,465  
Inventory – equipment
    1,728  
Total Inventory
  $ 4,193  

BINGO EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND OTHER EQUIPMENT

Bingo equipment includes portable and fixed-base player terminals as well as file servers, caller units, point-of-sale units, and other support equipment. Bingo equipment, furniture, and other equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Bingo equipment
3-5 years
Office furniture and equipment
3-7 years
Leasehold improvements
10 years

We provide reserves for excess or obsolete bingo terminals on hand that we do not expect to use. The reserves are based upon several factors, including estimated forecast of bingo terminal demand for placement into halls. The estimates of future bingo terminal demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess or obsolete bingo terminals. Although we attempt to assure the accuracy of these estimated forecasts, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of bingo terminals, results of operations, and financial condition.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CAPITALIZATION

We capitalize costs related to the development of certain software products that meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 86 - Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. SFAS No. 86 provides for the capitalization of computer software that is to be used as an integral part of a product or process to be sold or leased, after technological feasibility has been established for the software and all research and development activities for the other components of the product or process have been completed. We are capitalizing qualified costs of software developed for new products or for significant enhancements to existing products. We cease capitalizing costs when the product is available for general release to our customers. We amortize the costs on a straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product beginning when the product becomes available for general release.
 

 
- 7 -



 


 

The achievement of technological feasibility and the estimate of the product’s economic life require judgment. Any changes in key assumptions, market conditions, or other circumstances could result in an impairment of the capitalized asset and a charge to our operating results.

GOODWILL

We are required to perform an annual goodwill impairment review, and depending upon the results, the recorded goodwill may be written down and charged to income from operations when its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value. Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, such as a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, or a loss of key personnel.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We have adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles, other than goodwill, used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount.

LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings (see Note 7 Legal Proceedings). Periodically, we review the status of each matter and assess the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated.

Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise these estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We generally grant stock options to our employees for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares on the date of the grant.

We have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) SFAS No. 123(R), Share Based Payment. This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123(R) addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employer stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123(R), share-based payment awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the award’s grant date. Stock options exercised in future periods will result in an adjustment within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows depicting increase in net cash provided by financing activities related to the cash received and an incremental tax benefits. In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2005, our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the vesting of all unvested stock options awarded under the 1997 Incentive Stock Plan. As a result, all options outstanding at October 31, 2005 were fully vested and no compensation cost for such options will be recognized in any future periods.

For the three-month period ended April 30, 2008, we recognized a credit to compensation costs of $43,014 and a related tax expense of $15,700 for a net credit of $27,314. For the six months then ended, we recognized a compensation expense of $8,283 and a related tax benefit of $3,023 for a net cost of $5,260. For the three and six-month periods ended April 30, 2008 there was no effect to either the basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of recognizing the share-based compensation expense, net of tax. The credit to compensation are due to changes in the expected forfeiture rates used in our calculations.

For the three and six-month period ended April 30, 2007, we recognized credits to compensation costs of $487,909 and $212,787, and a related tax expense of $183,942 and $80,221, for a net credit of $303,967 and $132,556, respectively. For the three and six-month period ended April 30, 2007 basic and diluted earnings per share were increased by $0.02 and $0.01 per share, respectively. The credits to compensation are due to changes in the expected forfeiture rates used in our calculations.


As of April 30, 2008, the total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees under our stock option plans but not yet recognized was $259,198. The cost of each award will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its term, which range from two to four years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.

No options were granted during the three and six months ended April 30, 2008.  For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, we granted 100,000 options and there were no restricted stock grants.

 
- 8 -



 

During the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, we granted 35,000 restricted shares to various employees that vest over a three-year period. The shares were valued at market on the grant date. The awards will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the grants. We recognized expense for the three and six months of $12,253 and a related tax benefit of $4,472 for a net cost of $7,781. As of April 30, 2008 the compensation related to unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under our stock option plan but not yet recognized was $199,227. The cost will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures.

On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position No. SFAS 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. We have elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in this FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative transition method includes a simplified method to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation, which is available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Under SFAS No. 123(R) stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized over the stated vesting period. We continue to utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock-based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the use of accounting judgment and financial estimates. The expected life of the options used in this calculation is the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding, and is determined by the simplified method outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 which states, “The midpoint of the average vesting period and contractual life is an acceptable expected life assumption.” Expected stock volatility is based on the historic volatility of the stock for a period equal to the length of time we have been public. Expected option exercises, the period of time the options are held, forfeitures, employee terminations and other criteria are based on previous experiences. The risk-free rates for periods within the contractual life of the options are based on United States Treasury Note rates in effect at the time of the grant for the period equal to the expected life. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to elect to measure eligible financial instruments, commitments and certain arrangements at fair value at specified election dates, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are assessing the potential impact of SFAS 159 on our financial position, results of operation, and cash flow.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. We will be required to adopt SFAS No.141(R) and SFAS No. 160 on or after December 15, 2008.  We have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008 the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable better understanding the effects on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The effective date is for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We have not year determined the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) to permit entities, under certain circumstances to continue to use the “simplified” method, in developing estimates of expected term of “plain-vanilla” share options in accordance with Statement No. 123R Share-Based Payment. SAB110 amended SAB 107 to permit the use of the “simplified” method beyond December 31, 2007. Our adoption of SAB 110 did not result in a material impact on our financial statements.
 
3. INVESTMENTS

Investments at April 30, 2008 consisted of $3.9 million of principal invested in Auction Rate Securities (ARS) and $0.5 million in short-term investments. The ARS held by us are private placement securities with long-term nominal maturities for which the interest rates are reset through a Dutch auction each month. The monthly auctions historically have provided a liquid market for these securities. Our investments in ARS represent interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of residential and commercial mortgages or credit cards, insurance securitizations and other structured credits, including corporate bonds. Some of the underlying collateral for the ARS held by us consists of sub-prime mortgages.

Consistent with our investment policy guidelines, the ARS investments held by us all had AAA/Aaa credit ratings at the time of purchase. With the liquidity issues experienced in global credit and capital markets, the ARS held by us at April 30, 2008 have experienced multiple failed auctions as the amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders. In addition, in the first quarter of 2008, investments in ARS held by us were downgraded and others were placed on credit watch. All of these securities retained at least an Aa3 rating as of April 30, 2008.

The estimated market value of our ARS holdings at April 30, 2008 was $2.9 million, which reflects an approximate adjustment of $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, respectively, to the principal value of $3.9 million.

 
- 9 -



 

Although the ARS continue to pay interest according to their stated terms, based on the fair value of the investments and an analysis of other-than-temporary impairment factors we have recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, respectively, reflecting the portion of ARS holdings that we have concluded have an other-than-temporary decline in value.


ARS were classified in prior periods as current assets under marketable securities. Given the failed auctions, our ARS are illiquid until there is a successful auction for them. Accordingly, the entire amount of such remaining ARS has been reclassified from short-term investments to non-current investments.

4. ACQUISITION

  On March 28, 2007, we acquired essentially all of the assets of Summit Amusement & Distributing, Ltd. (Summit) for $41.7 million in cash. Summit is a leading developer and manufacturer of entertainment driven gaming devices, including primarily video lottery terminal equipment and related software, headquartered in Billings, Montana.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to Summit’s tangible and intangible assets based on their fair values as of the date of the closing of the acquisition. We are in disagreement with the seller regarding approximately $1.0 million of the purchase price regarding the total working capital at the date of closing of the acquisition, and are working with the seller to settle this matter through arbitration. The purchase price may change based on the outcome of that arbitration. The purchase price, including the disputed working capital, has been allocated described below.
 
The total purchase price is as follows (in thousands):
 
Cash paid for Summit  
  $ 39,745  
Direct transaction costs  
    1,954  
Total preliminary purchase price  
  $ 41,699

Unaudited pro forma results of operations, assuming the acquisition of Summit had been completed at the beginning of each period are summarized below. The results reflect adjustments to amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense. The interest rates used in determining the pro forma adjustments are related to the credit facility and approximate a blended average rate of 9.54% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008. The pro forma adjustment for the income tax expense is based on our effective rate of 40%. The pro forma earnings per share are based on our shares outstanding, as no shares were issued for the acquisition.

6. TREASURY STOCK

On September 4, 2007 the Board of Directors authorized expending up to $5.0 million in a share repurchase program. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 we advanced $500,000 to a member of our Board of Directors to repurchase stock on our behalf and accounted for this as a related party receivable for financial statement reporting purposes. During the quarter ended January 31, 2008 the director settled the receivable with repurchased common stock. As of April 30, 2008 we had acquired a total of 519,299 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $3.4 million (including the shares received from the related party) pursuant to our repurchase program.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 22, 2001, we filed GameTech International, Inc. v. Trend Gaming Systems, LLC, CIV 01-0540 PHX LOA, a claim in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, seeking a declaratory judgment that we are not in material breach of our November 1, 1999 Distribution Agreement with Trend Gaming Systems, LLC (“Trend”), and seeking damages for past due payments and wrongful withholdings by Trend.  Trend counterclaimed, alleging that its payments were in compliance with its contractual obligations.  Trend also contended that we were in breach of certain of our contractual obligations to Trend, including that we had wrongfully terminated Trend.  On December 16, 2002, the court entered at our request an order enjoining Trend from using approximately $540,000 in funds it had collected on our behalf, pending a trial on our ownership interest in those funds.  The money was placed in two bank accounts/constructive trusts, subject to the court’s control.  The sums in those accounts now total approximately $644,000.  In addition, collections of accounts receivable by Trend, if any, are also being placed in that account, pending the resolution of the case.  We have posted a $450,000 deposit with the court as a bond, which is presented as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The accounts receivable from Trend were fully reserved.  During the quarter ended April 30, 2008, we wrote off all receivables and related reserves. Trial in this matter commenced October 4, 2004.  On November 1, 2004, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Trend against us in the amount of $3.5 million in compensatory damages.  The jury also awarded us $735,000 in compensatory damages against Trend for funds Trend collected on our behalf but failed to remit to us.  The court denied all of our post-trial motions, except that it maintained the injunction imposing a constructive trust, pending resolution of the issues on appeal.  The court setoff the jury awards and entered an amended judgment for Trend on March 12, 2005, in the amount of $2.8 million, plus interest on that sum at the rate of 3.31% per annum beginning March 30, 2005.

We appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on April 8, 2005.  We posted a supersedeas bond on April 8, 2005, in the court-appointed amount of $3.4 million, which bond stayed any action by Trend to collect on the judgment, pending appeal.  Trend initially sought an award of $810,000 in legal fees and $26,000 in expenses and costs.  In an amended request, Trend sought an award of $1.4 million in legal fees and $61,000 in expenses and costs.  The court awarded Trend $909,000 in legal fees, expenses and costs plus interest of 3.77% per annum beginning August 5, 2005.  We appealed the fee award to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on August 5, 2005.  We posted an additional supersedeas bond with the court on August 18, 2005 in the amount of $1.1 million, thereby staying any action by Trend to collect the fees, pending appeal.  Any cash used in the collateralization of the bonds was accounted for as restricted short-term investments on our consolidated balance sheets.  On April 19, 2007 a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments for the appeal.

On May 16, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its ruling in our favor upholding each of the items we appealed, reversing the trial court’s rulings and remanding the matter back to the trial court for a new trial. Currently, there is no set date as to when the matter will be returned to the control of the lower court. Additionally, as a result of this decision, the supersedeas bonds we posted prior to filing the appeal were released by the lower court as of August 18, 2007. Upon receipt of the released supersedeas bonds from the court we terminated the supporting insurance polices and had the letters of credit released giving us access to the certificates of deposit which had served as the cash security for the supersedeas bonds.

 For the year ended October 31, 2004, we recorded an estimated loss contingency in the Trend litigation of $2.8 million, which was estimated based on the amounts of the judgment described above.  We recorded an additional loss contingency of $0.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 to account for the increased total award to Trend for legal fees and expenses and costs.  In addition we have recorded a loss of $313,000 through October 31, 2007 for the interest accrued on the Trend judgment. With the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruling upholding each of the items we appealed, reversing the trial court’s rulings and remanding the matter back to the trial court for a new trial, we believe there is no further justification at this time for continuing to accrue loss contingencies.

On March 2, 2004, a jury rendered a verdict in our favor and against Trend Gaming, LLC, a Kentucky LLC (“Trend Gaming”) (involving a prior distribution agreement in Virginia) awarding compensatory and punitive damages in the total amount of approximately $1.5 million.  The jury also returned a verdict against Steven W. and Rhonda Hieronymus awarding compensatory and punitive damages of $1.0 million.  The court reduced compensatory damages against Trend Gaming to $1.1 million.  The court affirmed $150,000 in punitive damages against Trend Gaming and awarded us fees and costs of suit against Trend Gaming in the amount of $650,000.  Compensatory damages against Mr. and Mrs. Hieronymus have been reduced to $762,000 but the punitive damage award against them in the amount of $150,000 remains unchanged.  Of the total compensatory damages of $1.1 million awarded to us, $762,000 represents compensation for lost profits.  We can only collect such damages from one of the defendants to avoid a double recovery.  Defendants appealed the judgment against them.  On March 5, 2007, the Appellate Court entered its ruling affirming the judgment of the lower court in our favor.  Defendants did not post a supersedeas bond, and we are therefore not precluded from pursuing collection on the judgment during the appeal.  We have not recorded an estimated gain contingency, as we can give no assurances whether we will be able to collect any award from the defendants.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.  We do not believe that any of those proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

On March 28, 2007, we entered into a credit facility, which consists of a term note for $30.0 million and a revolving line of credit in the amount of $10.0 million relating to the acquisition of Summit. The term note allows for an interest rate based on the prime rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR at plus 4.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 9.75%. As of April 30, 2008 the interest rate was 9.75% and the balance of the term note was $19.8 million. Interest payments are due monthly and beginning January 1, 2008, principal payments of $1.1 million are due quarterly with the remainder of $11.3 million due March 28, 2012. The revolving line of credit allows for an interest rate based on the prime rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.5%, with a minimum annual rate of 8.50%. As of April 30, 2008 the interest rate was 8.50% and the outstanding balance of the revolver was $7.4 million. The revolving line of credit requires monthly payments of interest only and the outstanding balance is due on March 28, 2012. We can give no assurance that the revolving credit facility will be renewed. Our obligations under the agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.

The credit facility provides for a prepayment premium of 1% in the first year and 0.5% in the second year under specified circumstances. The credit facility provides for mandatory prepayments under specified circumstances, including a requirement to prepay an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined, if the ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA less Capital Expenditures, as defined, is greater than or equal to 2 to 1.

The credit facility contains numerous affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on liens, limitations on indebtedness, prohibitions on fundamental changes, restrictions on investments, prohibition of dividends or redemptions and limitations on capital expenditures. We must maintain Qualified Cash, as defined, of at least $6.0 million. The credit facility also contains specified financial covenants, including a leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and a specific level of trailing twelve-month earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (TTM EBITDA). Upon an event of default, the lenders under the credit facility can accelerate all obligations under the agreement and terminate the revolving credit commitment. As of April 30, 2008 we were out of compliance with the TTM EBITDA Covenant. On June 5, 2008 we entered into Amendment Number Four to Financing Agreement that amends the TTM EBITDA, and we are in compliance with all our covenants as of that date.

On March 28, 2007, we terminated our prior revolving line-of-credit as part of the requirements of our new credit facility.

9. INCOME TAXES  

We recorded our income tax provision at an effective rate of 36.5% for the six months ended April 30, 2008, compared with 35.8% for the six months ended April 30, 2007. The actual effective tax rate is different from the expected federal rate of 34%, reflecting certain permanent differences between financial accounting and tax accounting, and state and foreign tax provisions.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which creates a single model to address uncertainty in income tax positions and prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and accordingly, we adopted FIN 48 beginning on November 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no material amounts were recognized during the three and six months ended April 30, 2008.

We file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for years before 2003 and are no longer subject to state and local, or foreign income tax examinations for years before 2002. 

10. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION  

 During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007, management reviewed our operating segments in accordance with SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. As a result of our acquisition of Summit in March 2007, management determined that a new operating segment was appropriate. The segment discussion outline below represents the adjusted segment structure as determined by management in accordance with SFAS 131.

Management has identified two operating segments. Each operating segment is considered a reporting segment which is described as follows: the design, development, and marketing of interactive electronic bingo systems consisting of portable and fixed-based systems and the manufacturing and sale of video lottery terminals.

The accounting policies of the reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate the performance of these segments based on many factors including sales, sales trends, margins, and operating performance.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 31, 2008, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with RKD Holdings, L.L.C. to purchase real property. The purchase price is $7.2 million, subject to adjustment for repairs or credits found during the due diligence period. Improvements will cost an additional $3.4 million. This building will become our main facility. We plan to finance the acquisition with a term note. The transaction is subject to a number of customary closing conditions. Under certain circumstances incuding our failure to obtain required financing, if the transaction fails to close, we would lose a non-refundable deposit of $0.2 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third fiscal quarter of 2008.

On May 27, 2008 we entered into the First Amendment to the purchase and sale agreement with RKD Holdings, L.L.C. allowing for the expected close in the fourth quarter of 2008.


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 condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 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 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. Such factors include those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2007 and in this report. 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 design, develop, and market several bingo systems and video lottery terminals (“VLT’s”). We entered into the VLT business in March 2007, with our acquisition of Summit Amusement and Distributing Ltd. (“Summit”) for $41.7 million in cash. For the three months ended April 30, 2008, video lottery terminal sales accounted for 20%, portable bingo systems accounted for 65%, and fixed-based bingo units accounted for 15% of our revenue. For the six months ended April 30, 2008, VLT’s sales accounted for 24%, portable bingo systems accounted for 61% and fixed-base bingo units accounted for 15% of our revenue.  As of April 30, 2008, we had bingo systems in service in 38 states and in seven non-domestic countries and VLTl sales in four states, one US territory, and various Native American locations. We are also developing and marketing server based wireless gaming systems on which users can play a range of games including bingo, video poker, keno and other slot machine games. We installed our first system in the second fiscal quarter of 2008.

We generate revenue by placing electronic bingo systems in bingo halls under contracts based on (1) a fixed fee per use per session; (2) a fixed weekly fee per terminal; or (3) a percentage of the revenue generated by each terminal. Revenue growth for our bingo systems is affected by player acceptance of electronic bingo as an addition or an alternative to paper bingo, our ability to expand operations into new markets and our ability to increase our market share. Fixed-base bingo terminals generate greater revenue per terminal than portable bingo terminals, but also require a greater initial capital investment.

We typically install our electronic bingo systems at no charge to our customers, and we capitalize the costs. We record depreciation of bingo equipment over either a three or five-year estimated useful life using the straight-line method of depreciation.

Our VLT business generates revenue from sales of video lottery terminals (new and used), software conversions kits, content fees, license fees, participation fees, parts/equipment and service. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, 86.1% and 71.4%, respectively, of our VLT business sales were derived from the sales of new and used equipment, conversion kits and parts/equipment. In some instances, we may recognize recurring participation revenue in lieu of one-time machine sales. Revenue growth is driven by increasing market share in existing markets and expanding product placement into new markets.

Our bingo and VLT expenses consist primarily of (a) cost of revenue, consisting of expenses associated with technical and operational support of the bingo systems within bingo halls, depreciation and amortization of bingo terminals, cost of sales related to Summit equipment sold, the repair/refurbishment/disposal of bingo terminals and related support equipment, and excess of obsolescence allowance for bingo units; (b) general and administrative, consisting of activities associated with management of our company and related support, which includes finance and accounting, legal, compliance, information systems, human resources, accounts receivable reserve, and amortization of the intangible assets associated with the Summit acquisition; (c) sales and marketing, consisting primarily of commissions paid to distributors for promoting and supporting our products and internal sales force with a focus upon generating new customers and upgrades for existing customers; and (d) research and development, consisting of company-sponsored research and development activities to provide players with new or enhanced products on which to play electronic bingo or new games themes for our video lottery terminals.

Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was $0.1 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. The decline resulted from a $0.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses due to increased accounting and legal fees, and a $0.5 million increase in research and development expenses relating to employee and project costs. The decrease was also caused by a change in our investment valuation in the amount of $0.3 million pre tax ($0.2 net of tax).  We also incurred increased interest expense of $0.7 million and increased amortization expense of $0.3 million due to the acquisition of Summit.

Net income for the six months ended April 30, 2008 was $0.4 million, compared with income of $2.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. The decline resulted from a $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses due to an increase in accounting and legal fees and, and a $1.4 million increase in research and development expenses relating to increased employee and project costs. Net income for the six months ended April 30, 2008 was also adversely affected by a $1.0 million pre-tax ($0.6 million after tax) impairment charge related to our investments in auction rate securities. During the first six months of 2008, we also incurred increased interest expense of $1.4 million and increased amortization expense of $0.6 due to the acquisition of Summit.

On September 4, 2007 the Board of Directors authorized expending up to $5.0 million in a share repurchase program.  The shares are to be acquired through open market transactions by September 3, 2008.  The actual amount and timing of dollars expended and shares repurchased will be subject to business and market conditions and applicable SEC rules. As of April 30, 2008, we had acquired a total of 519,299 shares at a cost of approximately $3.4 million pursuant to this program

On March 10, 2008, we entered into Amendment Number Three to Financing Agreement amending our credit facility agreement because our TTM EBITDA did not meet the requirements of the agreement. The Amendment Number Three to Financing Agreement:

·
Reduced the TTM EBITDA from $22 million to $20 million for the quarters ending January 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008.

    As previously reported, as of March 12, 2008, Donald Tateishi ended his relationship with us as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Tateishi’s resignation was due to personal reasons and not as a result of any disagreement with us regarding our operations, policies or practices. Our Chief Executive Officer, Jay M. Meilstrup, will act as our interim Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer while our Board of Directors conducts a search for a permanent replacement.


APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our condensed 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, bad debts, bingo terminal depreciation, goodwill impairment, obsolescence, provision for income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. 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 2007 Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our 2007 Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A.

We acquired substantially all of the assets of Summit on March 28, 2007. The net revenues and net loss from operations for Summit in the three months ended April 30, 2008 were $2.7 million and $0.5 million respectively. The net revenues and net loss from operations for Summit in the six months ended April 30, 2008 were $6.8 million and $0.4 million respectively. The following discussion of the results of operations excludes the results of Summit except as otherwise indicated.

Net Revenue

Bingo revenue for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 9.6% to $11.1 million from $12.3 million in the comparable quarter in 2007. Bingo revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2008, decreased 8.8% to $22.2 million from $24.3 million in the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in bingo revenue for the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2008 is a result of several factors. Bingo revenue decreased $1.2 million for the quarter, driven by increased regional competition and pricing pressures as well as continued migration of commercial accounts to more profitable slot machine style gaming over bingo. However, offsetting the decline in revenue was an increase of approximately $0.5 million in revenue in various key states and expansion in the United Kingdom, as well as the continued popularity and rollout of our Traveler and Tracker terminals. Including the results of Summit, our reported net revenues for the second quarter of 2008 increased $0.5 million from the second quarter of 2007.  Our Summit division’s results for the quarter were impacted by some softness in the Montana market as well as fewer than expected shipments to the Louisiana market.  With over 77% of Summit’s sales coming from the Montana and Louisiana markets, financial results for this segment may continue to be volatile from quarter to quarter until we have broadened our revenue base by expanding into new markets.

Cost of Revenue

Bingo cost of revenue decreased 12.0% to $4.6 million, or 41.1% of net revenue in the second quarter of 2008, from $5.2 million, or 42.2% of net revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2007. Bingo equipment depreciation decreased by approximately $451,000 over the comparable quarter in 2007 primarily due to Travelers becoming fully depreciated.

Bingo cost of revenue decreased 8.4% to $9.3 million, or 41.7% of net revenue in the six months ended April 30, 2008, from $10.1 million, or 41.6% of net revenue in the same period in 2007. Bingo equipment depreciation decreased by approximately $656,000 over the comparable period in 2007, primarily due to Travelers becoming fully depreciated.

Gross Profit
 

Bingo gross profit decreased 9.0% to $12.9 million, or 58.3% of net revenue in the six months ended April 30, 2008, from $14.2 million or 58.4% of net revenue for the same period in 2007. The decrease is due to the decreased in revenue as noted above and partially offset by a decrease in the depreciation of bingo equipment.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 9.3% to $5.5 million, or 49.2% of net revenue, in the second quarter of 2008, from $5.0 million, or 40.7% of net revenue, for the comparable quarter in 2007. Operating expense increased by 5.0% to $11.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008, from $10.6 million in the comparable period in 2007. Operating expenses include general and administrative, sales and marketing, including distributor commissions, research and development, and loss contingencies.

Bingo general and administrative costs increased 11.1% to $2.0 million, or 18.1% of net revenue in the second quarter of 2008, from $1.8 million, or 14.8% of net revenue for the comparable quarter in 2007. The increase is due primarily to an increase in the accounting and legal fees. Bingo general and administrative costs increased 9.5% to $4.2 million for the six months ended April 30, 2008, from $3.8 million in the comparable period in 2007.

Bingo sales and marketing expenses remained flat at $2.5 million, or 22.9% of net revenue in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 20.7% of net revenue for the comparable quarter in 2007. Bingo sales and marketing expenses decreased to $5.0 million, or 22.3% of net revenue in the six months ended April 30, 2008 from $5.4 million or 22.34% of net revenue for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in distributor commissions as well as promotional costs; and travel expenses the decrease was partially offset by an increase in employee costs, consulting fees, and sales taxes.

Bingo research and development expenses increased 49.3% to $0.9 million or 8.2% of net revenue in the second quarter of 2008, from $0.6 million, or 5.0% of net revenue for the comparable quarter in 2007. Bingo research and development expenses increased to $2.0 million, or 8.9% of net revenue in the six months ended April 30, 2008 from $1.2 million or 5.0% of net revenue for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salary and other employee costs for additional employees and consulting, as well as an increase in project costs offset by a decrease in the depreciation of fixed assets.

No loss contingencies were recorded for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008, compared to $46,000, and $93,000, respectively for the comparable quarter and six months in 2007.


Interest Expense

Including the results of Summit, our reported interest expense of $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2008, respectively, was due almost entirely to interest paid on our debt incurred to purchase Summit. Our interest expense for the comparable periods was $0.3 million.
.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have funded our operations to date primarily through cash from operations and other capital sources. This capital is used for operations, research and development, and capital expenditures of bingo equipment and associated support equipment and software. As of April 30, 2008 and October 31, 2007, we had a working capital balance of $9.9 million and $14.0 million, respectively. As of April 30, 2008, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million and $0.5 million in short-term investments. Current liabilities include an accrued liability of $4.0 million in connection with a contingent litigation judgment.

 
The acquisition of Summit was financed primarily by a credit facility consisting of a term loan of $30.0 million and a revolving line of credit with a limit of $10.0 million. As of April 30, 2008, the interest rate on our term loan was 9.75% and on our revolving credit facility was 8.50%. We incurred interest expense of approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $0.4 million for the comparable periods in 2007. The interest expense is primarily a result of the debt incurred in March 2007 to finance the Summit acquisition.

Operating activities provided $6.8 million of cash for the six-month period ended April 30, 2008 compared with $3.8 million for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007. The $6.8 million consisted primarily of our net income of $0.4 million adjusted by $5.4 million from depreciation, amortization, obsolescence provisions, and loss on disposal of bingo terminals and related equipment provisions. $1.0 million from the loss on impairment, and $0.7 million provided by net changes in other operating assets and liabilities. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2007, the $3.8 million consisted primarily of our net income of $2.3 million adjusted by $5.6 million from depreciation, amortization, obsolescence provisions, and loss on disposal of bingo terminals and related equipment provisions and $4.1 million used by net changes in other operating assets and liabilities.

Investing activities provided approximately $1.2 million of cash for the six-month period ended April 30, 2008 compared with using approximately $3.6 million of cash for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007. The $1.2 million included $2.4 million in capital expenditures for bingo terminals and associated support equipment. In addition, $3.6 million was received from the sale of short-term investments during the period ended April 30, 2008. During the six-month period ending April 30, 2007, the $3.6 million consisted of $3.9 million in capital expenditures from bingo terminals and associated support equipment.  We used $2.4 million in the acquisition of Summit, and an additional $2.7 million was provided from the sale of short-term investments during the period ended April 30, 2007.

Financing activities used approximately $5.1 million during the six-month period ended April 30, 2008 compared with providing $212,000 for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007. The $5.1 million included payments on long-term debt of approximately $2.2 million and the repurchase of our common stock for approximately $2.9 million. The $212,000 provided for the six-month period ended April 30, 2007 was from proceeds and tax benefits from stock option exercises.

Our credit facility agreement contains numerous restrictive covenants. These restrictions could result in a curtailment of our capital expenditures including those for bingo devices, and related equipment. In the event we were unable to raise additional capital if needed, further measures could be necessary, including the delay or reduction of our operations, research and development and other activities. Certain of such measures may require third-party consent or approvals, including the financial institution under the credit facility, certain regulatory bodies, and others, and there are no assurances such consent or approvals could be obtained. Amendment Three to the Financing Agreement limits our capital expenditures. Management does not believe that the limitation will adversely affect our ability to acquire the necessary devices and related equipment.

We believe that cash flows from operations and cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and amounts available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to support our operations, provide for budgeted capital expenditures, and meet liquidity requirements through the remainder of fiscal 2008. Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we expand our business and whether we do so internally or through acquisitions. In addition, we may pursue strategic opportunities that could require us to fund our portion of operating expenses of such ventures and may require us to advance additional amounts should any partners in such ventures be unable to meet unanticipated capital requirements or similar funding events. To the extent that the funds generated from the sources described above are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that the additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

 
Purchase Commitments

From time to time, we enter into commitments with our vendors to purchase VLT parts, bingo terminals and support equipment at fixed prices and/or guaranteed quantities. During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007, we entered into various additional agreements for component parts for VLTs, Tracker and Traveler as well as component parts for the GameTech Mini ™. As of October 31, 2007, approximately $2.9 million of these commitments were outstanding.  As of April 30, 2008, approximately $2.3 million of these commitments were outstanding. All purchases are expected to occur by the end the fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

We maintain an investment portfolio of approximately $3.9 million in investment grade corporate issues, and in investment grade auction rate securities. The values of these investments are subject to changes in interest rates. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2008 we recorded impairments of approximately $0.3 and $1.0 million, respectively, due to the devaluation of our auction rate securities. We monitor these investments for impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying value when necessary.

There have been no material changes in market risk to our investment portfolio resulting from changes in interest rates from that disclosed in our Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

On March 28, 2007, we entered into a credit facility, which consists of a term note for $30 million and a revolving line of credit in the amount of $10 million relating to the acquisition of Summit. At April 30, 2008 the balances of the term note and revolving line of credit were $19.8 and $7.4 million, respectively.

Because the interest rate on the credit facility is variable, our cash flow may be affected by increases in interest rates, in that we would be required to pay more interest in the event that interest rates increase. Assuming we had a $27.2 million balance outstanding as of April 30, 2008 and the blended average rate of interest rate was 9.41%, our monthly interest payment, if the rate stayed constant, would be approximately $213,000. If the prime rate rose to 375 basis points to 12.0%, which assumes an unusually large increase, our monthly payment would be approximately $291,000. A more likely increase of 1.0% or 2.0%, given our base rates, result in a monthly payment of approximately $236,000 or $259,000, respectively.

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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and acting Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO, who is also the acting CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the CEO, who is also the acting CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as disclosed directly below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION  

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

For a discussion of our current litigation, see Note 7 (Legal Proceedings) to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

We are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.  We do not believe that any of those proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS  

We may be adversely impacted by economic factors beyond our control and may incur additional impairment charges to our investment portfolio.

As of April 30, 2008, we had $3.9 million of principal invested in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”), representing interests in collateralized debt obligations supported by pools of residential and commercial mortgages or credit cards, insurance securitizations and other structured credits, including corporate bonds. Some of the underlying collateral for the ARS held by us consists of sub-prime mortgages. The estimated market value of our ARS holdings at April 30, 2008 was $2.9 million, which reflects a $1.0 million adjustment to the principal value of $3.9 million.

Although the ARS continue to pay interest according to their stated terms, based on valuation models used by our brokers in preparing our account statement and an analysis of other-than-temporary impairment factors, we have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million in the six-month period ended April 30, 2008, reflecting the portion of ARS holdings that we have concluded have an other-than-temporary decline in value.

The credit and capital markets could continue to deteriorate in 2008. If uncertainties in these markets continue, these markets deteriorate further or we experience any additional rating downgrades on any investments in our portfolio (including on ARS), we may incur additional impairments to our investment portfolio, which could negatively affect our financial condition, cash flow and reported earnings.
