PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Bally Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests an extension of time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 (the “September 2006 Form 10-Q”).   Because the Company dedicated significant resources towards its amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, which was filed on October 31, 2006, it has been unable to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, as well as its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (collectively, the “Delinquent Reports”).   Until the Company has filed the Delinquent Reports, the Company will not be able to file its September 2006 Form 10-Q. The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to the preparation of the Delinquent Reports and the related financial statements.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

 

 

Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

 

o Yes    x 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?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

x Yes    o 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.




In its amended  Annual Report on Form 10-K  for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, filed on October 31, 2006, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of  $(2.9) million ,  or $(0.06) per diluted share, on revenues of $119.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.  The Company also anticipates reporting a net loss from continuing operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005.  Although the Company expects significant changes between its results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, until the Company has completed the preparation of the financial statements related to such periods, the Company cannot make a reasonable estimate of the changes between such periods.  However, the Company expects to report net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
