Gulfport Project

 

On May 28, 2010, the Company, Rotate Black, LLC (RBL), an entity under common control with the Company, and an officer of the Company formed Rotate Black MS, LLC (RBMS), a Mississippi limited liability company, to own, develop and manage the operations of a casino resort to be located on the property adjacent to the Gulfport, MS marina.  RBMS’s initial strategy was to secure an existing gaming vessel, move the vessel to the Gulfport site, and build land assets on that site to support the gaming vessel.  Subsequently, RBMS changed its strategy to an entirely land-based casino. In August 2012, the Company entered into an Indicative Summary of Terms and Conditions with debt and equity investors related to a proposed financing for the Gulfport Casino Hotel Project to be developed by RBMS (Borrower).  The proposed financing is for up to $101,800,000 for the development, design, construction, financing, ownership, operation and maintenance of an approximately 191,000 square foot land based, four star casino, including gaming, restaurant, bar and support space and an adjacent 205-room hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi.

 

Terms of the proposed financing call for senior secured term loans up to an aggregate of $80,900,000 to be provided in one tranche on the closing date, advanced at the rate of 94% of the principal.  Full repayment is expected to be October 2017.  Interest on the outstanding balance will be equal to the sum of the LIBOR rate applicable to the interest period, subject to a floor of 2%, and the applicable margin of 10.5%.

 

The equity investors shall fund the equity contribution to RBMS prior to the closing pursuant to the terms of an equity contribution agreement to be entered into by the equity investors, RBMS, and the Collateral Agent in the aggregate amount of $20,900,000.

 

Other Projects

 

On December 14, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Rotate Black OK, LLC (OKL) and through the subsidiary, on December 12, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to provide casino management services to an Oklahoma Native American Tribe Casino for a term of ninety days at $30,000, per month, inclusive of all personnel needed to provide the consulting services. The Company plans to leverage this agreement to generate additional Native American gaming consulting agreements.

 

On December 13, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, SlotOne, Inc., to provide slot machines on a participation basis in certain casino locations where the replacement of old equipment can enhance earnings for the gaming location and Rotate Black, Inc.  To date, the Company has secured a contract for the placement of equipment in September 2013 as well as an approval of its lender to facilitate the financings of this operation as of June 30, 2012, the entity was inactive.

 

On January 11, 2011, the Company entered into a management agreement whereby a new to-be-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company would act as manager for a proposed casino and entertainment destination on the Louis Bull Indian Reserve near Edmonton, Canada.  As of July 31, 2013, the project is awaiting final approval from Alberta Liquor and Gaming, which is expected in fall 2013 (Note 10).
