Note 7. Short Term Notes and Interest-Bearing Advance

 

Promissory Notes

 

On June 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with an unrelated lender in exchange for proceeds in the amount of $15,000. Interest on the note was 12.5% per annum and payable March 1 of each year the note remained outstanding. Payment in full of the Note was due June 9, 2019. On July 20, 2023, the Noteholder agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to June 9, 2025 with the understanding that the note would be paid in full from the proceeds of an expected eminent domain settlement. Mississippi Gaming Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, guaranteed the Note. In addition, the President of the Company agreed to personally guarantee the Note and to personally secure the Note with an assignment of proceeds due to her under the first lien on the Diamondhead property. The interest payments due on the note since March 1, 2018 were in default. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company fully repaid the principal amount of $15,000 and settled the accrued interest due on this obligation, which amounted to $14,165.

 

Bank Credit Facility

 

Wells Fargo Bank provided an unsecured credit facility of up to $15,000 to the Company. The facility required a variable monthly payment of amounts borrowed plus interest, which was applied at 11.24% on direct charges and 24.99% on any cash advanced through the facility. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a principal balance of $0 on the facility. The lending bank has since cancelled privileges under the facility for non-payment.

 

Interest Bearing Advances

 

In 2016, the Company received cash advances totaling $47,500 from seven lenders which included $22,500 from third parties (see Note 8 for related party advances). The proceeds from the cash advances were earmarked for the payment of accounting and auditing fees and other expenses required to file the Company’s Form 10-Q. On August 25, 2016, the Company issued a Note to the foregoing lenders, which matures four years from the date of issuance and bears interest at 8% per annum, with a full year of interest accruing in any year in which the advance remains unpaid. Accrued interest due on the above notes amounted to $17,800 and $16,400 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

 

 

On February 2, 2017, the Company borrowed $25,000 from an unrelated third party. The note carries an annual interest rate of approximately 12.5% and is past due. The Company is in default and as such, the lender may increase the interest rate due by an amount of up to 3% per annum in excess of the rate then otherwise applicable. The Company does not have the funds to repay the advance. The President of the Company has agreed to personally secure the note with an assignment of proceeds due to her under the first lien on the Property. Accrued interest on this obligation amounted to $7,212 and $6,644 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

 

Of the amounts discussed above, $47,500 in short-term notes and advances are in default under the original agreed upon terms.
