Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
The press release of Alliance Gaming Corporation (the “Company”) dated November 3, 2005, regarding certain unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On November 2, 2005 the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that the previously issued audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 and the related auditors report thereon, and the unaudited quarterly financial information previously reported for the year ended June 30, 2004 and for the quarters in the nine month period ended March 31, 2005, should no longer be relied upon and will require restatement. The Board of Directors reached this conclusion after consultations with the Company’s management and its consultants including Navigant Consulting, Inc.
The restatement is required primarily as a result of a reevaluation of the application of the Company’s revenue recognition policies, the implementation of certain software accounting literature to the accounting for its game sales, a correction in its accounting for certain software license revenue in its systems business and a restated tax rate. The restatement primarily will have the effect of deferring revenue and earnings to later periods than previously reported.
The Audit Committee of the Company has discussed the matters set forth above with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
