Shares outstanding per their last 10Q 116 million shares.


EGT is up and for sure a company showing major growth. Their major project that they just finished was Nagaworld in the Cambodia. This casino in the only casino within 200 KM of the capital city of Phnom Penh. The have 669 gaming machines on prime floor space.

In April 2010, they entered into a machine participation agreement with a new partner to place approximately 60 gaming machine seats on a participation basis at its new casino in the Kampong Cham province of Cambodia (north east of Phnom Penh) near the Vietnam border.
Start this year they should be breaking ground on their dream world casino resort that they will own and operate.

With regard to their non-gaming operations, Dolphin auto component sales volumes continue to modestly strengthen driven by the improvement in the automotive parts industry in Australia for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. As a designated tier 1 and tier 2 supplier to several major manufacturers, we believe Dolphin is better positioned to gain market share and increase sales orders in the future as the Australian automotive parts industry continues to improve. In addition, we are pursuing opportunities to leverage our existing operations to also serve the military and mining industries with a goal to further strengthen and diversify this business in the future.

Per their latest 10Q

http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=7548136

Based on the solid revenue performance, particularly from our operations at NagaWorld, and our continued strict cost control efforts, we have achieved positive GAAP earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the first profitable quarter since effecting our new business model in September 2007, and have significantly improved our ability to generate and grow positive cash flow. We achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 up from approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow provided from operations amounted to approximately $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with cash used in operations of approximately $7.9 million in the same period in the prior year.

Revenues are growing very nice as well



Revenue from our gaming machine participation operations was approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, more than doubling from $1.8 million in the same period in the prior year. Gross margin for the gaming participation business improved to 45% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to negative gross margin of 64% in the same period in the prior year. Excluding non-cash items such as machine depreciation and asset write-downs, gross margin for the gaming participation business improved to 96% from 80%, respectively.

10Q notes on Dream world
"As a border casino, Dreamworld Casino will cater to players residing in the nearby major southern Vietnamese cities as well as the growing number of expatriates and tourists in the greater Phnom Penh area. We intend to leverage our marketing expertise and the Dreamworld brand from our existing operations to eventually make Dreamworld Casino a destination location for players in the area.

We continue to actively pursue casino development projects with a focus on the Indo-China region. We are currently in final stages of discussions on another significant new project. While there is no guarantee we will successfully conclude these negotiations, given our constrained capital resources, we are re-evaluating the project timeline for the Takeo Project in order to divert certain capital to this potential new project, which we believe offers greater short- and medium-term return potential. Should an adjustment to the Takeo Project development timeline be required, it would not place our gaming license or any rights to own and "

THIS IS VERY GOOD FROM THE 10Q



We presently expect that our capital expenditures for the Takeo Project and purchase of gaming machines for 2011 will be approximately $11 to $13 million. Given our current and projected future cash flow generation capability from our operations at NagaWorld, our ability to source previously-owned gaming machines at attractive prices relative to new gaming machines, and our strong relationships with gaming equipment manufacturers, we anticipate funding our capital expenditures for the Takeo Project and purchase of gaming machines for 2011 from cash on hand and expected net cash flow from operations.
