8. The Big Easy Gaming Vessel

On June 10, 2010, the Company purchased The Big Easy, a gaming vessel for the Gulfport Project, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,264,500, payable: (a) by issuance of a secured note payable to the seller of $2,975,000 (the Secured Note), (b) issuance of an unsecured note payable to the seller of $600,000 (Unsecured Note), fees of $414,500 and cash of $275,000. The Secured Note is collateralized by the gaming vessel and both notes are guaranteed by an officer of the Company. The Secured Note was payable on June 11, 2011 and bears interest at 14.5%, per annum, payable $35,000, per month, commencing June 11, 2010. The Unsecured Note

bears interest at 14.5%, per annum, and is payable monthly, in an amount equal to 2% of the monthly gross gaming revenue generated from operations, as defined, until June 2012 when all principal and interest are due. Since September 17, 2010, both notes have been in default and the interest rate was increased to 20%, per annum.

 

As of June 30, 2011, the due dates of both notes were extended in support of the Company’s current project in Gulfport, MS and the Trustee of the Cruise Holdings bankruptcy estate, holding the mortgage and promissory note payable has consented;  (1) to require no payments through June 30, 2012; (2) that the collection fees and accrued interest be paid on or before October 1, 2012; (3) extend the due date of the balance of the obligation for the principal and accrued interest to July 1, 2013.  As of August 16, 2013, the Company has not repaid the principal and accrued interest by the dates stipulated in the extension and, therefore, is currently in default.  As a result, the balances as of the mortgage payable, note payable and accrued interest have been reflected as current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2012.

 

In May 2011, the equity investor informed RBMS it would not move forward with the financing of the Gulfport Project unless the casino was land based.  As a result, it was decided the vessel be sold at a public auction, however, the public sale did not yield sufficient funds to eliminate the fees and mortgage debt.  The Company received $459,746 in the reduction of accounts payable from the public sale which was paid directly to vendors of the Company. June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $4,191,891 on the sale of the gaming vessel.  The Company is currently in discussions with the mortgage holder and the trustee to reach an agreement to extinguish the mortgage of $2,975,000 and note payable of $600,000 through the issuance of equity.

 

On December 20, 2012 the Company, an officer of the Company as Guarantor entered into a Settlement Agreement (Agreement) with the Trustee for the estate of the gaming vessel which set forth terms related to the consideration to be paid by the Company to the Trustee in exchange for the release of all claims against the Company and the Guarantor, including all promissory notes, penalties, fees and interest. The Agreement is subject to the order of approval by the US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida, West Palm Division and will become effective upon the first business day of RBMS’s closing on primary equity and debt financing for not less than $100,000,000 for the design, construction and opening of a casino resort in Gulfport, MS.
