Kinbasha Gaming International, Inc. (the “Company”) (PINK: KNBA), owner and operator of retail gaming centers in Japan, today announced that it has filed Form 10 with the SEC, releasing its audited financial results for the past two fiscal years – 2011 and 2010. In conjunction with Kinbasha’s filing, the company’s CEO discusses Kinbasha’s future business strategy and plans to increase its investor awareness activities going forward.

“We are pleased to have completed our audit and released our financial results for the past two fiscal years,” said Masatoshi Takahama, Chief Executive Officer. “Although we have substantial debt on our books due to the major disruptions caused by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in March, 2011, as well as declining sales in certain low density areas as a result of shifting demographic trends, we have initiated a robust business plan to return to profitability as soon as possible.”

Of Kinbasha’s 21 Pachinko parlors, 18 are located in Ibaraki Prefecture, an area that has a relatively low population density (1,260/sq. mile) when compared with Tokyo (6,576/sq. mile) and Kanagawa (9,700/sq. mile) prefectures. Kinbasha currently operates two parlors in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area – one in the city of Fuchu and another in the city of Shinjuku. These parlors generate revenue which is, on average, three times greater than that of the Ibaraki parlors, all with positive cash flow.

As part of its restructuring process Kinbasha’s management plans to obtain additional capital to build out and/or acquire additional Pachinko parlor stores within the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and begin to shift the company’s strong branding, successful operations teams and proprietary analytics technology to areas where Pachinko stores are more profitable.

Mr. Takahama continued, “As we expand our operations within strategic locations in Japan, we believe we can successfully restructure Kinbasha’s debt with our various Japanese banks. Although it may seem foreign in relation to western standards, it is part of the Japanese culture to work with borrowers on payment terms whenever possible, and although no assurances can be made, we are confident we will be able to strike attractive terms with our banks, which have all been extremely supportive to-date.”

Kinbasha’s management would like to open or acquire two additional stores each year, over a five year period, provided additional capital can be obtained. In addition to Kinbasha’s strategies in Japan, the company also has plans to initiate more investor awareness initiatives in the United States for the benefit of its shareholders and potential investors.

“As part of our goal in keeping investors informed with the latest developments at Kinbasha, we will be releasing various investor materials over the coming weeks and months, including a dedicated US investor website, fact sheets, research reports, white papers and management team videos,” concluded Mr. Takahama. “Now that our initial audit is behind us, we look forward to reporting with our fellow shareholders on a regular basis going forward.”
