Pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated February 14, 2014, Diamondhead Casino Corporation (the “Company”) offered up to $3,000,000 of Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures (collectively, the “Debentures”) to accredited or institutional investors. The Offering was conducted contingent on the deposit into Escrow of the purchase price for all of the Debentures offered in the principal amount of $3,000,000.  The Debentures were offered in three tranches as follows:
 
Tranche 1:    The Company offered $1,000,000 of First Tranche Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “First Tranche Debentures”), subject   to certain conditions. The First Tranche Debentures are convertible, at a Conversion Price of $.30 per share (the “First Tranche Debenture Conversion Price”), into an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”). The minimum principal amount of First Tranche Debentures that could be purchased was $50,000.
 
A First Closing could occur and the First Tranche Debentures would be issued when and if subscriptions in the principal amount of $3,000,000 for all Debentures offered had been received in Escrow and accepted by the Company (the “First Closing”). On March 31, 2014, subscriptions in the amount of $3,000,000 were received in Escrow and accepted by the Company. Thus, the First Closing occurred on that date.  The Escrow Agent released $1,000,000 to the Company and the Company issued First Tranche Debentures in the aggregate principle amount of $1,000,000. The First Tranche Debentures will bear interest at 4% per annum after 180 days and will be secured by a lien on the Company’s Mississippi property.
 
The First Tranche Debentures will be converted to 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock when and if: 1) the Second Closing Obligations (as defined below) have been met; and 2) the average closing price of the Common Stock on the principal trading market for the Company’s Common Stock is 150% or more of the First Tranche Debenture Conversion Price for the thirty consecutive business days immediately prior to such conversion date. The First Tranche Debentures will be converted into Common Stock without any required action on the part of the Debenture Holders and the lien securing the First Tranche Debentures will be released upon conversion.

Diamondhead Casino Corporation
1013 Princess Street
Alexandria, Virginia 22314
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
1.       Subscription.   The undersigned (the “ Purchaser ”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from Diamondhead Casino Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), subject to the terms and conditions described herein and in the confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company dated February 14, 2014, as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including all attachments, schedules and exhibits thereto (the “ Memorandum ”), the number of securities subscribed for on the signature page hereof.
 
The Company is offering up to three million dollars ($3,000,000) of securities consisting of the following:
 
(a) an aggregate in principal of $1,000,000 of First Tranche Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures (the “ First Tranche Debentures ”), convertible into an aggregate of 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”);
 
(b) an aggregate in principal of $1,000,000 of Second Tranche Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of 2,222,222 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “ Second Tranche Debentures ”); and
 
(c) an aggregate in principal of $1,000,000 of Third Tranche Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of either 1,818,182 shares of Common Stock or 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company, depending upon certain conditions described in the Memorandum (the “ Third Tranche Debentures ”).
 
The First Tranche Debentures, Second Tranche Debentures and Third Tranche Debentures are referred to herein as the “ Offered Securities ”. The terms of the Offering are more completely described in the Memorandum and such terms are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
 
2. Minimum Purchase .  The minimum principal amount of First Tranche Debentures that may be purchased is $50,000. A Purchaser wishing to purchase the First Tranche Debentures must also subscribe for and purchase the Second Tranche Debentures in an amount equal to that amount tendered for the First Tranche Debentures and must also subscribe for and purchase the Third Tranche Debentures in an amount equal to that amount tendered for the First Tranche Debentures. Thus, the total minimum purchase required for all three Debentures is $150,000.

3 . Payment.   The Purchaser encloses herewith a check made payable to, or will immediately make a wire transfer payment to, “CST&T AAF Diamondhead Escrow Account” for the full amount of the purchase price of the Offered Securities being subscribed for. Wire transfer instructions are set forth on the instruction page accompanying this Subscription Agreement. Such funds will be held in Escrow for the Purchaser’s benefit, and will be returned promptly, without interest or offset if the Purchaser’s subscription is not accepted by the Company or the Offering is terminated by the Termination Date (as defined below).
 
4.       Deposit of Funds.   All payments made shall be deposited with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “ Escrow Agent ”). The Escrow Agent will release the first $1,000,000 held in Escrow to the Company when subscriptions in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 have been deposited in Escrow and accepted by the Company. If subscriptions in the aggregate amount of $3,000,000 have not been deposited in Escrow on or before March 1, 2014, unless this date has been extended, with or without notice to the Investors, by the Company, for up to two additional 30-day periods (the “ Termination Date ”), the Escrow Agent will return any and all subscriptions held by it without interest or deduction of any sort. In the event a closing with respect to the Second Tranche Debentures (the “ Second Closing ”) has not occurred on or before December 31, 2014, the Escrow Agent will return all subscriptions then held in the Escrow Account ($2,000,000) to the Iinvestors, without interest or deduction of any sort. In the event the Second Closing has occurred, but a closing with respect to the Third Tranche Debentures has not occurred on or before December 31, 2014, the Escrow Agent will return all subscriptions then held in Escrow ($1,000,000) to the Investors, without interest or deduction of any sort. If the Company rejects a subscription, either in whole or in part (which decision is in its sole discretion), the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof will be returned promptly to such Purchaser without interest accrued thereon.
 
5.             Acceptance of Subscription.   The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Offered Securities, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this subscription. The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. The Company shall not be bound by any representation made to a Subscriber that a subscription has been accepted, whether made orally or in writing, by anyone other than the Company.
 
6.             Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser .  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company as follows (it being specifically acknowledged and agreed that Henley and Company LLC, the Placement Agent with respect to the Offering (the “ Placement Agent ”), is and shall be a third party beneficiary of the following):

The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Offered Securities (including the underlying Common Stock) are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“ Regulation D ”), based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement.

(e)           Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved the Offered Securities or the underlying Common Stock, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Offered Securities, or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Memorandum.

(h)           In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than as stated in the Memorandum.

(j)           The Purchaser has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent and, in turn, to be paid to its selected dealers).
 
(k)           The Purchaser, together with its Advisers, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Securities and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
 
(l)           The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Offered Securities, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisers.
 
(m)           The Purchaser is acquiring the Offered Securities and the underlying Common Stock solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part.

(p)           The Purchaser (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Offered Securities, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the securities constituting the Offered Securities, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
 
(q)           The Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Memorandum and all documents received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the Offered Securities and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition, results of operations, business of the Company deemed relevant by the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, and all such requested information, to the extent the Company had such information in its possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisers, if any.

A-5

 

(s)           The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-registered, high risk securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investment considerations in development-stage and other companies. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Offered Securities will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.
 
(t)           The Purchaser is satisfied that the Purchaser has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or the Advisers, if any, consider material to the Purchaser’s decision to make this investment.
 
(u)           The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and should not be relied upon.
 
(v)           No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.
 
(w)           Within five (5) business days after receipt of a request from the Company or the Placement Agent, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company or the Placement Agent is subject.
 
(x)           The Purchaser’s substantive relationship with the Placement Agent or subagent through which the Purchaser is subscribing for Offered Securities predates the Placement Agent’s or such subagent’s contact with the Purchaser regarding an investment in the Offered Securities.
 
(y)           THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM OR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
 

 
A-6

 

(z)           The Purchaser acknowledges that none of the Offered Securities or the underlying Common Stock have been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. In making an investment decision investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Subscription Agreement or the Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Offered Securities and the underlying Common Stock are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. The Purchaser should be aware that it will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time.
 
(aa)            (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “ Plan ”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.
 
(bb)            The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations . The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>.

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agent should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Placement Agent may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Purchaser’s identity to OFAC. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company and the Placement Agent or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.
 
(dd)           To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure, 2   or any immediate family 3 member   or close associate 4   of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.

In addition, a “senior foreign political figure” includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.
 
3            “Immediate family” of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the figure’s parents, siblings, spouse, children and in-laws.
 
4            A “close associate” of a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the senior foreign political figure.

(ff)           The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that a Private Placement Memorandum dated January 14, 2014 (the “ Original PPM ”), which the Purchaser may have received, has been rescinded and has been replaced and superseded in its entirety by the Memorandum defined in Section 1 of this Subscription Agreement. The Purchaser and the Purchaser's advisors further understand and acknowledge that they may not rely on the Original PPM or the exhibits thereto in evaluating this Offering and whether to subscribe to this Offering.

7.             Company Representations and Warranties .  The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with the Purchaser that:
 
(a)           This Subscription Agreement and any other agreements delivered or required to be delivered together with or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively “ Transaction Documents ”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity. The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.
 
(b)           The Holder acknowledges that the Company does not, at the time of acceptance of this Subscription or as of the Issue Date of the First Tranche Debentures offered herein, have sufficient Common Stock authorized to convert the Offered Securities to Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offered Securities and this Offering. The Company intends to hold an Annual Meeting of Stockholders in accordance with applicable state and Federal law, to seek stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from fifty million to one hundred million shares or the Company will seek to obtain such approval by written consent of its stockholders pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Thereafter, the Company shall at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized, but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Offered Securities, such number of shares of Common Stock as are issuable upon the conversion of the Offered Securities at the respective Conversion Prices set forth in the Memorandum. All shares of Common Stock that are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges. The Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any Applicable Law or any requirements of any national securities exchange or over-the-counter market upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed or quoted (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).

NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
DIAMONDHEAD CASINO CORPORATION CLOSES ON FIRST $1 MILLION OF $3 MILLION CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE OFFERING AND APPOINTS  TED ARNEAULT AS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
Diamondhead, Miss., April 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Diamondhead Casino Corporation (“DHCC”), which intends to build a casino resort on its 404-acre property in Diamondhead, Mississippi, announced today that it has appointed Ted Arneault, formerly Chairman, President & CEO of MTR Gaming Group, Inc., as Chairman of the Board of the Company and President & CEO of Casino World, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and proposed developer of the Diamondhead casino site. The Company also announced today that it accepted subscriptions in Escrow in the amount of $3 million for the purchase of collateralized debentures, convertible to common stock, subject to certain events, and $1 million of that amount had been released from Escrow to the Company at the first of three intended closings. The two remaining closings are contingent upon certain events. Henley & Company, LLC acted as sole placement agent in connection with the offering.
 
The Company owns, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, approximately 404 acres of land in Diamondhead, Mississippi.  The property fronts Interstate 10 for approximately two miles and fronts the Bay of St. Louis for approximately two miles.  Approximately 18 million vehicles pass the site yearly. The property, which is located entirely within the recently-incorporated City of  Diamondhead, is already zoned for a casino.
 
In commenting on his appointment, Mr. Arneault stated: “I believe the Diamondhead  site remains one of the last, great gaming opportunities in the country. The site is recognized in the casino industry as one that is expected to grow the entire Gulf Coast market because of its sheer size and the numerous amenities it could support. I am looking forward to working with the State of Mississippi and the City of Diamondhead to create a destination resort that will bring economic benefits to the entire State as well as the City. This is a unique opportunity to be associated with a project that has the potential to become a major tourist attraction on the Gulf Coast and one of the premier resort locations in the casino industry.”

 
 

 

 
Ms. Vitale, who is stepping down as Chairman of the Board of the Company , stated: “Mr. Arneault’s addition to the Board and his extensive background, experience and expertise in the gaming industry will allow us to move this project forward. Mr. Arneault knows the casino industry, knows the Gulf Coast market, recognizes the potential of this project and, of utmost importance, has successfully taken casinos from the ground up before. I have every confidence in Mr. Arneault, who has a proven track record in the industry, to spearhead the development of this particular project. In addition, Mr. Arneault brings extensive, unrelated business experience, as well as his background as a CPA, to the Board. I am honored to have Mr. Arneault on our team and the Board and I look forward to working with him in the future.”

THE COMPANY
 
General
 
Diamondhead Casino Corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 15, 1988 under the name Europa   Cruises Corporation.   The Company became a publicly-held company in 1989. On or about November 22, 2002, the Company changed its name to Diamondhead Casino Corporation. The Company currently has three subsidiaries, including Mississippi Gaming Corporation (“MGC”) and Casino World, Inc. (which is expected to act as the developer and the operator of the proposed casino). The Company has no current operations and one employee. The Company's corporate office is located in Alexandria, Virginia.
 
Previous Florida Operations
 
From inception through approximately August of 2000, the Company operated gambling vessels in international waters. The vessels sailed from state ports into international waters where all gambling operations were conducted. From approximately 1994 through August of 2000, operations were conducted primarily out of ports located in Miami Beach, Florida, Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, and Madeira Beach, Florida. The Company eventually divested itself of its gambling ship-based operations to satisfy financial obligations to its vendors, lenders and taxing authorities and to focus its resources on the development of a casino resort in Diamondhead, Mississippi. The Company no longer has operations, employees and/or any facilities in Florida.
 
Proposed Mississippi Business
 
The Company owns, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MGC, approximately 404 acres of unimproved land at 7051 Interstate 10 in Diamondhead, Mississippi (the “Property”). The Property is located entirely within the City of Diamondhead and is zoned for a casino. The Company, subject to raising the necessary capital, intends to develop the Property in phases beginning with a casino resort.
 
Property Mortgages and Debt
 
There is currently no debt on the Property and there are currently no mortgages or liens on the Property. However, under the terms of this Offering, the Company is required to secure the Debentures with liens on the Property. See “Terms of the Offering—Collateral for Debentures."
 
Permits/Approvals
 
The development of the Property requires the Company to obtain permits and approvals from various federal, state, and local agencies, boards and commissions. The regulatory environment relating to these permits and approvals is uncertain and subject to constant change. There can be no assurance that all permits and approvals can be obtained, or that if obtained, that they will be renewed.

The Company will issue the Third Tranche Debentures at the Third Closing and the Escrow Agent will release $1,000,000 from the sale of the Third Tranche Debentures at the Third Closing, provided the Third Closing Obligations have been met. The Third Closing Obligations are as follows:

 
7

 

 
 
1.
The Second Closing Obligations have been met;
 
 
2.
The Company issued the Second Tranche Debentures; and
 
 
3.
The Company has filed an application for gaming site approval with the Mississippi Gaming Commission pursuant to Rule 1.4 of the Mississippi Gaming Regulations (2013 edition) (the “Application”).
 
At least 15 days prior to the date of the Third Closing, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investors, an Officers' Certificate, executed by Ms. Vitale, its President and Mr. Arneault, its Chairman-Elect (or their respective successors), certifying that the Third Closing Obligations have been met.
 
Collateral for Debentures
 
The payment obligations under the Debentures will be secured by a lien on the Property (the "Investors Lien"). The Investors Lien will be pari passu with a lien to be placed on the Property in favor of Ms. Vitale, the President of the Company, Gregory Harrison, the Vice President of the Company, and certain directors of the Company, for past due wages, compensation, and expenses owed to them in the maximum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 (the “Executives Lien”). Ms. Vitale will serve as Lien Agent for the Executives Lien.
 
Determination of Offering Price
 
We have arbitrarily determined the Conversion Prices for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures purchased pursuant to this Offering. Such prices do not necessarily bear any relationship to established evaluation criteria such as earnings, book value, or assets. Rather, such prices were derived from a subjective consideration by management of various factors including, but not limited to, our present financial position, the volatility of our stock price, and our future prospects. Due to the arbitrary nature of such prices, they may not be indicative of prices that may prevail for our Common Stock at the time of conversion or at any time in the future.
 
No Shareholder Rights Under Debentures Prior to Conversion to Common Stock
 
The Debentures do not entitle the Holders to any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures unless and until the Debentures have been converted into Common Stock and issued to the Holder.
 
Anti-Dilution Provision
 
If during the Anti-Dilution Provision Period, as defined below, the Company issues any shares of Common Stock or other securities at a price per security that is less than the conversion price of a Debenture offered herein, then the Debenture offered herein shall have a new conversion price equal to the price per security that is less than the Conversion Price of the Debenture offered herein (the "Conversion Price as Adjusted"). The foregoing provision shall not apply to the following:
 

 
8

 

 
     The issuance of any of the Debentures in this Offering or the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any of the Debentures in this Offering;
     
 
The issuance of any shares of Common Stock if such issuance relates to an agreement, arrangement or grant to issue shares of Common Stock made by the Company prior to the Issue Date of the First Tranche Debentures in this Offering, including but not limited to, for example, previously issued convertible promissory notes, previously issued warrants, previously issued options to purchase Common Stock, or common stock vested or to be issued pursuant to a pre-existing Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
 
The Anti-Dilution Provision Period means the period beginning with the Issue Date of the First Tranche Collateralized Convertible Senior Debentures until the close of business on the Anti-Dilution Provision Period Termination Date. The “Anti-Dilution Provision Termination Date" means the earlier of (a) the date (if ever) the Company receives an “Approval to Proceed” from the Mississippi Gaming Commission to develop a casino/hotel on the Property, (b) the date on which a Debenture is converted in full, (c) the date on which a Debenture is paid in full, or (d) the Final Maturity Date of a Debenture as defined in the Debenture.
 
For example, if the Company, during the Anti-Dilution Provision Period, sells Common Stock at $.20 per share, the Conversion Price as Adjusted for the Debentures in this Offering, provided they are issued and outstanding and have not been converted to Common Stock, shall be $.20 per share, since this price is below the Conversion Price for each of the Debentures offered herein. If the Company, during the Anti-Dilution Provision Period, sells Common Stock at $.40 per share, the Conversion Price as Adjusted for the Debentures in this Offering having a Conversion Price in excess of $.40 per share would be adjusted to $.40. Thus, any issued and outstanding Second and Third Tranche Debentures, which had not yet been converted to Common Stock, would be convertible at the Conversion Price as Adjusted ($.40).
 
On the other hand, if the Company, during the Anti-Dilution Provision Period, issues Common Stock at a price of $.20 per share pursuant to the exercise of a stock option or warrant granted or issued prior to the Anti-Dilution Provision Period, then there would be no adjustment to the conversion price of any Debentures offered herein and the Conversion Price in the Debentures offered herein would not change.
 
Piggyback Registration Rights
 
The Investors will be entitled to “piggyback” registration rights on all registrations of equity securities of the Company under the Securities Act for sale to the public. The Company will bear the cost (exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such registrations.
 
The Company will notify the Investors not less than 20 calendar days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement. Each Investor who desires to have its registrable shares included in such registration statement shall advise the Company, in writing, within 10 calendar days of such notice, of the number of registrable shares it desires to register. The Company reserves the right, at any time, to withdraw or cease proceeding with any such registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other equity securities originally proposed to be registered.

Investment
 
Investors must purchase the securities offered herein, including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, for their own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for sale, nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the foregoing securities. Investors must bear the entire economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, these securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state. Therefore, Investors may not offer, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, either publicly or privately, the Debentures or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of certain states, or an exemption from such registration is available. The Company will place a legend denoting the restrictions on the Debentures and such Common Stock.
 
Commissions and Expenses of the Offering
 
No commission or other remuneration will be paid to any officer or director of the Company in connection with any sale of these securities. We have engaged Henley & Company LLC (“Henley”) as exclusive Placement Agent for this offering. For their services as Placement Agent, Henley will be paid a commission of 6% of the gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Debentures sold in this Offering. The commissions due will be paid when, as, and if proceeds of the Offering are released to the Company out of the Escrow. Henley is also entitled to reimbursement of expenses up to a maximum of $55,000 upon the First Closing and up to $10,000 for each of the Second Closing and the Third Closing (if any), up to an aggregate of $75,000. In addition, Henley will also receive warrants to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, exercisable as follows: 25,000 shares at $0.30 per share; 25,000 shares at $0.45 per share; and 25,000 shares at $0.55 or $0.75 per share (depending on the Valuation and the Conversion Price of the Third Tranche Debentures.) The 75,000 shares underlying these warrants have not been included in the computation of the number of shares offered herein. The Placement Agent will be entitled to exercise its warrants to purchase (a) 25,000 shares of Common Stock at $.30 per share upon the First Closing, (b) 25,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.45 per share upon the Second Closing (if any) and (c) 25,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.55 or $0.75 per share (depending on the Valuation) upon the Third Closing (if any).

RISK FACTORS
 
AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY IS SPECULATIVE IN NATURE, INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD NOT BE MADE BY ANY INVESTOR WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE LOSS OF HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS AND SPECULATIVE FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING, AS WELL AS OTHERS DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THE MEMORANDUM, BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENTS.
 
THIS MEMORANDUM CONTAINS CERTAIN STATEMENTS RELATING TO FUTURE EVENTS OR THE FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF OUR COMPANY. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT SUCH STATEMENTS ARE ONLY PREDICTIONS, INOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND THAT ACTUAL EVENTS OR RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY. IN EVALUATING SUCH STATEMENTS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD SPECIFICALLY CONSIDER THE VARIOUS FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN THIS MEMORANDUM, INCLUDING THE MATTERS SET FORTH BELOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
 
The Company is not in compliance with its reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The Company is currently not in compliance with its reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has not filed any financial statements, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which it was required to file, since it filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011. None of the filings of the Company previously made with the SEC should be relied upon by any investor when making a decision to invest in the Debentures in this Offering. The Company does not currently have the funds to retain accountants, outside auditors, and/or outside attorneys to prepare, review and file the documents and/or financial statements which the Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). By letter dated August 19, 2013, the SEC notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the reporting requirements under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that it should file all required reports within fifteen days from the date of the letter. The SEC informed the Company that if it did not file all required reports within fifteen days, that it may be subject, without further notice, to an administrative proceeding to revoke its registration under the Exchange Act and, in addition, that if the Company's stock was trading, it also may be subject to a trading suspension by the Commission pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. To date, none of such administrative proceedings or suspensions has occurred.
 
We presently need to file our annual reports for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and seven quarterly reports in order to become current in our Exchange Act reporting requirements. If we fail to become current on our reporting requirements, we will not be able to list on an exchange or trading platform and, as a result, the market liquidity for our securities would be limited or non-existent. The proceeds of this offering will be used, in part, to pay the Company's former CFO, who has already been retained, to prepare the financial statements and delinquent reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act, and to retain and pay the Company's outside auditor, Friedman LLP, to review and/or audit the delinquent reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act.

The Company has failed to hold an Annual Meeting of Shareholders since 2007.
 
The Company has not held an annual meeting of shareholders since October 1, 2007. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this Offering to hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2014.
 
Our officers and directors have limited liability and we are required in certain instances to indemnify them for breaches of their fiduciary duties.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws limit the liability of our officers and directors and provide for indemnification by us of our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. Our articles generally provide that our officers and directors shall have no personal liability to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our shareholders’ ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require us to indemnify our officers and directors.
 
A small number of existing shareholders own a significant amount of our Common Stock, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of any shareholder vote.
 
Our executive officers and directors beneficially own a significant amount of our voting securities, before giving effect to the Offering. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” Under our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Delaware law, the vote of a majority of the shares outstanding is generally required to approve most shareholder action. As a result, these individuals will be able to significantly influence the outcome of shareholder votes for the foreseeable future, including the votes concerning the election of directors, amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or proposed mergers or other significant corporate transactions.
 
The Company is currently critically dependent on a single employee to whom it owes significant sums.
 
The Company has a single employee, its President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, acting Interim Secretary, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Deborah A. Vitale. We do not have key man insurance for this individual. The Company is substantially indebted to Ms. Vitale for accrued, but unpaid salary in excess of $1 million and for expenses in excess of $500,000. Ms. Vitale currently handles virtually all functions of the Company and is critical to its current operation at each and every level. However, inasmuch as Ms. Vitale has not been compensated for her services for a substantial period of time, there can be no assurance that she will continue to perform services for the Company and there can be no assurance that she will not resign. Should Ms. Vitale resign as President and CEO, the Company would be materially adversely affected. The Company does not currently have the funds to replace her and the ability of the Company to continue to operate would be uncertain.
 
 
 
12

 

The Company currently has four directors. These are Ms. Vitale and Messrs. Blount, Harrell, and Harrison. However, it is doubtful that any of these gentlemen would be inclined to or in a position to assume the day-to-day functions of the Company if Ms. Vitale resigned.
 
In addition, the Company's office and all of its active files are located in a furnished and fully equipped townhouse office building owned by Ms. Vitale in Alexandria, Virginia. The Company is obligated to pay base rent and certain expenses to Ms. Vitale for the use of the office, but has yet to pay any base rent, which is due and owing to Ms. Vitale. In the event Ms. Vitale decides to sell the office building or lease the office to another tenant who has the ability to pay rent, the Company would be materially adversely affected. The Company does not currently have the funds to lease replacement office space, purchase furniture and equipment for an office, or box and transfer its records and files to another location.
 
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock.
 
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and we do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be reinvested in the Company to further its business strategy.
 
The market price of the Company's Common Stock is highly volatile.
 
The market price of the Company’s common stock is highly volatile. Announcements by the Company, its competitors, the industry or other casino-related or gaming-related announcements may lead to wide swings in the market price of the Common Stock.
 
Board authority to issue Preferred Stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock, may prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the board of directors or management and could make an acquisition of the Company difficult.
 
Our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue up to an additional 674,000 shares of Preferred Stock (in addition to the authority to issue additional shares of the Company’s Series S-PIK Junior, Non-Voting, Convertible, Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock) with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting and/or other rights senior to those of our Common Stock, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event of issuance, the Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of Preferred Stock not already issued, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.

As the Company has limited funds, any litigation that involves the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business plan.
 
While the Company is not currently engaged in any litigation, the Company is always subject to risks associated with shareholder-related, government-related, contract-related, employee-related, permit-related, license-related, environmental-related, and other litigation. Any such litigation would likely be expensive and time-consuming. At present, the Company does not have any funds to litigate. Our inability to fund litigation could materially affect our ability to execute our business plan.
 
The Company has substantial debt, which could limit operational flexibility and adversely effect its or its affiliates’ financial condition and results of operations.
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company has unsecured debt to third parties of approximately $1,962,500. The unpaid accrued interest on that debt is approximately $507,008. The debt consists of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $962,500. Under its original terms, the promissory note was due and payable on November 1, 2012 and the convertible promissory notes had due dates and became payable beginning in March 2012 and extending at various dates through June 2013. At September 30, 2013, all of such instruments remain unpaid. In addition, the Company is indebted to its officers and directors in an amount which, with interest, is approximately $2,000,000, which will be secured as of the First Closing. The foregoing does not include the additional indebtedness of the Company that could arise pursuant to any issuance of the Debentures herein. These debt obligations require the Company to use a portion of the revenues and cash flows, if any, to pay interest and principal, thereby reducing the ability to finance operations and other activities. The Company’s leveraged position exposes it to significant risks in the event of downturns in the markets in which the Company intends to operate or further downturns in the economy. The Company’s overall leverage could:
 
 
limit its ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions;
 
 
limit its ability to refinance its indebtedness on terms acceptable to the Company or at all;
 
 
limit its ability to adapt to changing market conditions;
 
 
require the Company to dedicate a significant portion of its cash flow from operations to paying the principal of and interest on its indebtedness;
 
 
limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its proposed business and unexpected expenses with respect to the development of the Property or any other asset;
 
 
place the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared with competitors that have a less significant debt burden; and
 
 
make the Company more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit its ability to withstand competitive pressures.
 
The Company may also incur substantial additional debt in the future. If the Company does, the risks described above and the other risks described in this Memorandum could intensify.

This Offering is a “reasonable efforts” offering with no firm commitment.
 
Each of the Debentures offered herein are being offered by the Company on a “reasonable efforts, all or none” basis. This means there can be no assurance that any or all of the Debentures will be sold. Because the Company can close on the sale of the Debentures, but not meet its obligations to issue the Second Tranche and/or Third Tranche Debentures, there is an increased risk to Investors, since the funds with respect to the Second Tranche and the Third Tranche may not be forthcoming and our inability to have access to and apply such proceeds may jeopardize our ability to fully or partially execute our business plan.
 
The Conversion Price of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Third Tranche Debentures is based on a valuation of a proposed casino resort that has not yet been built or fully planned.
 
The Conversion Price for the Third Tranche Debentures is either $0.55 per share for an aggregate of 1,818,182 shares of Common Stock, or $0.75 per share for an aggregate of 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock, depending on a combined appraised value of the casino project (including the value of that land upon which it is expected to be located) and the undeveloped remaining Property. Since the Company is currently in the preliminary planning stages of the development of the Property, the actual as-built casino/hotel is based on assumptions as to future events that are inherently uncertain and subjective. These assumptions will be relied upon to determine the Valuation used to determine the conversion price of the Third Tranche Debentures. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those currently planned, and the actual, final value of the casino project may be materially different from the Valuation. Although it is not possible to identify all of the factors that could impact actual results, some of the risks and uncertainties are identified in these risk factors. There could be errors of omission or of estimation, or new events or circumstances imposed on the project that require additional time or capital or result in delays or redesigns of the project. Any of these events, as well as others currently unforeseen, if manifested, would materially impact the appraised value of the casino project and the Property. There can be no assurance that the results anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected effects on the Company or its business or operations. Accordingly, the Valuation, and consequently, the Conversion Price for the Third Tranche Debentures may not be indicative of the true value of the project.
 
There is a limited market for our securities and there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the securities offered herein.
 
There is no market for the Debentures being offered herein and the market for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures is limited, volatile, sporadic and uncertain. Accordingly, purchasers of the securities offered herein will be required to bear the economic consequences of holding such securities for an indefinite period of time. Since the securities offered herein have not been registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, all such securities sold in connection with this offering will be “restricted securities.” Therefore, such securities offered hereby cannot be offered, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of except in transactions that are subsequently registered under applicable federal and state securities laws, or in transactions exempt from such registration. While there are no blanket exemptions for the resale of unregistered securities, the SEC has promulgated a uniform resale rule (“Rule 144”) that is generally applicable to the holders of restricted securities of companies whose securities are traded on a public market. Because the securities have not been registered, persons acquiring the securities in connection with this offering will be representing, by subscribing to this offering, that they are purchasing the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any subsequent distribution thereof. All certificates which evidence the Debentures and Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Debentures, will be inscribed with a printed legend which describes the applicable restrictions on transfer or resale by the owner thereof. Investors in this Offering will not be offered registration rights except for “piggy-back” registration rights in the event the Company determines to register the securities of other existing or future investors.

We have significant discretion over the use of certain of the net proceeds of the Offering.
 
The Company has stated, in only a general manner, how it intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering. See “Use of Proceeds.” The Company cannot, with any assurance, be more specific at this time. The Company will have broad discretion in the timing of the expenditures and application of proceeds received in this Offering. If the Company fails to apply the net proceeds effectively, it may not be successful in implementing its business plan. Investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate all of the economic, financial or other information upon which the Company may base its decisions to use all of the net proceeds from this Offering. As is the case with any business, it should be expected that certain expenses unforeseeable to management at this juncture will arise in the future.
 
An investment in the securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
 
An investment in the securities offered herein is speculative and there can be no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.
 
If the Company does not raise adequate capital in the future, it may be unable to continue to operate.
 
The Company has no source of revenue and is currently out of funds. Therefore, if the Company does not raise sufficient capital in this offering and in the future to pay its current and future obligations, it may be unable to continue to operate. Even assuming the Company raises the maximum proceeds pursuant to this Offering, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise adequate capital in the future to be able to operate. Moreover, the Company will require significant capital in the future for costs and expenses associated with the design, development, construction, and opening and operation of its proposed casino resort. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise these significant funds in the future.
 
We will require additional funds to further develop our business plan and to fund our working capital needs. Based on our current operating plans, the resources of the Company are expected to be sufficient, assuming a First Closing occurs, to fund our operations into the third quarter of 2014. Assuming a First Closing, Second Closing and Third Closing occur, the resources of the Company are expected to be sufficient to fund our operations into the third quarter of 2016. We will need to raise additional funds through equity offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements.

 
16

 
 
No assurance can be given that necessary funds will be available for us to finance our development on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, such additional financings may involve substantial dilution of our stockholders or may require that we relinquish rights to certain of our assets. In addition, we may experience operational difficulties and delays due to working capital restrictions. If adequate funds are not available from operations or additional sources of financing, we may have to delay or scale back our plans.
 
The Company is a single asset entity and the success of the Company is entirely dependent on the development of this single asset.
 
The Property is the only asset of material value held by the Company. The Company is entirely dependent on the successful development of and/or sale or lease of part or all of this Property to generate future cash flow. The successful development of the Property will require substantial financial resources. The Company does not have the financial resources to develop the Property or any portion thereof, even with the maximum proceeds from this Offering. To date, the Company has not found a partner(s) with whom to develop the Property on terms that are acceptable to the Company or the substantial financing required to develop the Property unilaterally.
 
The development of the Property is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
 
The ultimate development of the Property is subject to significant risks and uncertainties which include, but are not limited to, those relating to permitting, financing, and the actions of federal, state, or local governments and agencies. In addition, the State of Mississippi could vote to prohibit gambling which would have an enormous, adverse effect on the value of the Property, the development of the Property, and any gaming operation that might be in operation at the time any such prohibition was instituted.
 
The design, construction, and on-time opening of a casino resort are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with cost overruns, contract-related contingencies, developer, contractor or subcontractor failures to perform, cost increases, availability of materials, supplies and equipment, labor shortages, strikes, walkouts and weather-related and other construction delays. The occurrence of a natural disaster could disrupt operations on the Property for extended periods of time. Any such occurrence could also alter the market for the project temporarily or permanently and have an adverse effect on the value of the Property and the business of the Company.
 
There can be no assurance that all licenses, permits and approvals required to construct, open and operate a casino can be obtained, or that if obtained, that they will be renewed .
 
The development of the Property requires the Company to obtain licenses, permits and approvals from various federal, state, and local agencies, boards and commissions. The regulatory environment relating to these licenses, permits and approvals is uncertain and subject to constant change, and can be a significant impediment to developing the Property pursuant to the Company’s business plan. There can be no assurance that all licenses, permits and approvals required to construct, open and operate a casino can be obtained, or that if obtained, that they will be renewed.

The recent incorporation of the City of Diamondhead could result in permit-related issues.
 
The Property previously fell within the jurisdiction of Hancock County, Mississippi, for zoning purposes. The City of Diamondhead incorporated in February of 2012 and the Property is now located in and is subject to the jurisdiction of the City of Diamondhead for zoning purposes. On October 15, 2012, the Mayor and City Council adopted a Zoning Ordinance in which the City of Diamondhead zoned the Property as “C-2 - Interstate Commercial/Gaming/Resort.” Thus, the zoning is currently in place for a casino. However, there can be no assurance that the recent incorporation of the City of Diamondhead will not result in a loss of the Property's current zoning, adverse zoning changes, and/or adverse permit-related issues relating to the development of the Property.
 
The gaming industry in which the Company intends to compete is subject to intense competition.
 
There is intense competition in the Mississippi market in which the Company intends to operate and in surrounding markets. The Company will compete directly with other existing gaming facilities located in Mississippi and in bordering states, including Louisiana. Furthermore, it is likely that other competitors will emerge in the future. The Company will also be competing, directly and indirectly, with gaming facilities throughout the United States and throughout the world as well as with internet gaming operators and Native American gaming operations which enjoy certain tax advantages. Many companies with which the Company will compete are substantially larger and have significantly greater resources than the Company. The Company expects this competition to increase as new gaming operators enter these markets, existing competitors expand their operations, gaming activities expand in existing jurisdictions, gaming is legalized in new jurisdictions, and internet gaming is legalized in new jurisdictions. Assuming it is successful in developing a destination casino resort, the Company will also be competing with other forms of gaming and entertainment, including but not limited to, bingo, online computer gambling, pull tab games, card parlors, sports-book operations, pari-mutuel betting, dog racing, lotteries, jai-alai, video lottery terminals, and video poker terminals.
 
The Company will be subject to significant operational risks.
 
The Company will be subject to operational risks, including but not limited to those relating to operations in general, insurance coverage problems unique to the area in which the Property is located, weather-related problems, including hurricanes and floods, and labor-related problems unique to the area. The operation will also be subject to risks relating to security, licensing and suitability findings unique to the gaming industry. The Company’s proposed operations are also subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the absence of an operating history.

 
18

 

The Company has no current revenue stream and its ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to obtain future funding.
 
The Company incurs ongoing expenses, but has no current revenue and no revenue stream with which to pay ongoing expenses. The Company will not have any revenue stream unless the Company is able to successfully develop the Property, obtain funds prior to development of the Property, or generate cash from the sale or lease of parts or all of the Property. The Company’s inability to raise cash to pay its expenses in the future could adversely affect its ability to continue in the future. Current economic conditions in the casino industry, as well as tight credit markets in general, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain reasonable financing for the development of the Property. As of the date of this report, the Company has no source of revenue and is out of funds. In addition, when last audited for the year ended 2010, the Company’s auditors expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. It is likely that the audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31 2011, 2012 and 2013 will likewise contain going concern qualifications.
 
The Company has no land-based casino operating experience and has never designed, constructed, opened and/or operated a land-based casino and/or a hotel.
 
The Company's business plan calls for the design, construction and eventual operation of a casino/hotel on the Property. The Company previously operated four gambling ships, which sailed from ports located in Florida to international waters, where all gambling activity occurred. While many aspects of a ship-based casino operation may apply to a land-based operation, the Company has never designed, constructed, staffed, opened, and/or operated a land-based casino or a hotel, and has no track record in executing its current business plan. The Company has never designed, constructed, owned, or operated a gambling operation in the State of Mississippi. Because of our lack of a land-based casino and hotel operating history, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to implement or execute our current business plan, demonstrate that our business plan is sound and/or raise sufficient funds in the capital markets or otherwise to effectuate our long-term business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain qualified personnel with the background, expertise and experience required to implement our business plan.

The foregoing are not intended to encompass and do not encompass every risk or uncertainty associated with investment in the Company. Businesses are often subject to risks not foreseen or fully appreciated by management. The Company may be affected by some or all of the foregoing and other possible risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Investors should consult with their own financial, legal and tax advisors prior to subscribing to this Offering.

Assuming there is a Second Closing and/or a Third Closing, we expect to raise additional gross proceeds of either $1,000,000 or $2,000,000, contingent on satisfying certain conditions described elsewhere in this Memorandum. Accordingly:

The net proceeds from the sale of the Third Tranche Debentures at the Third Closing are expected to be used to pay costs and expenses required to maintain and keep the Company's SEC filings current, for general corporate purposes and working capital, and to raise funds for the construction of the Company’s casino/hotel project.
 
Even assuming the Company raised the maximum proceeds available under this Offering, inasmuch as the Company has no operations and no revenue, the Company will still be required to seek additional funding in the future. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise any additional funding in the future. See “Risk Factors.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
On August 18, 1994, the Company (f/k/a Europa Cruises Corporation) established the Europa Cruises Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”). The ESOP, which is a qualified retirement plan under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, was established primarily to invest in stock of the Company. All employees as of December 31, 1994, and subsequent new employees having completed 1,000 hours of service, are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Company also established a trust called the Europa Cruises Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust Agreement, to serve as the funding vehicle for the ESOP. Deborah A. Vitale is the sole Trustee of the Trust. As of September 30, 2013, a total of 2,215,905 shares of Common Stock had been released and allocated to participants in the ESOP. An additional 238,635 shares had been forfeited by the Trust. The participants in the ESOP are entitled to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Company's allocated shares are voted. The remaining 2,545,460 unallocated shares are voted by the Trustee. The Trustee is required to vote the unallocated ESOP shares in the best interests of the ESOP beneficiaries.
 
On August 21, 1994, the Company loaned $4,275,000 to the ESOP in exchange for a ten-year promissory note bearing interest at eight percent per annum. On August 24, 1994, the ESOP purchased 2,880,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with the proceeds of the loan. On August 25, 1994, the Company loaned an additional $3,180,000 to the ESOP in exchange for a ten year promissory note bearing interest at eight percent per annum. On August 26, 1994, the ESOP purchased an additional 2,120,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with the proceeds of the loan. The shares of Common Stock were pledged to the Company as security for the loans. The promissory notes will be repaid with the proceeds of annual contributions made by the Company to the ESOP. In April of 1995, the Company agreed to extend the maturity of the loans to twenty years. Effective for the Plan year beginning January 1, 2001, the Company amended the plan and related loans for the purpose of limiting excise tax liability for plan contributions in excess of IRS Code Section 415 limitations. To accomplish this, the Company agreed to extend the maturity of the loans to fifty years.
 
The Company's office and all of its active files are located in a furnished and fully equipped townhouse office building owned by Ms. Vitale in Alexandria, Virginia. The Company is obligated to pay base rent and certain expenses to Ms. Vitale for the use of the office, but has yet to pay any base rent whatsoever.
 
The Company has agreements with various current Officers and Directors which would give rise to payment of a fee under certain conditions as follows:
 
The Company has an agreement with Mr. Blount pursuant to which he will be paid a bonus in the event of any recovery received from litigation against BP relating to the oil spill, of 10% of any amounts received by the Company, after deduction of attorneys fees and expenses relating to the litigation.

Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not authorized.
 
Our common stock is not subject to conversion or redemption and holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the remaining assets legally available for distribution to stockholders, after payment of claims of creditors and payment of liquidation preferences on outstanding preferred stock, are distributable ratably among the holders of common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company currently has three classes of preferred stock: Series S Voting, Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “S Preferred Stock”), Series S-NR Voting, Non-Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “S-NR Preferred Stock”) and Series S-PIK Junior, Non-Voting, Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “S-PIK Jr. Preferred Stock”).

The Board of Directors may also designate the rights, preferences and privileges of each series of preferred stock, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include: (a) restricting dividends on the common stock; (b) diluting the voting power of the common stock; (c) impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; and (d) delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by stockholders.
 
Voting Stock
