The Company's current priority is the development of a casino resort on its Property located in Diamondhead, Mississippi. The Company's management, financial resources and assets will be devoted towards the development of this Property. There can be no assurance that the property can be developed or, that if developed, that the project will be successful.





Liquidity

The Company has incurred continued losses over the years and certain conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has had no operations since it ended its gambling cruise ship operations in 2000. Since that time, the Company has concentrated its efforts on the development of its Diamondhead, Mississippi Property. The development of the Diamondhead Property is dependent on obtaining the necessary capital, through equity and/or debt financing, unilaterally, or in conjunction with one or more partners, to master plan, design, obtain permits for, construct, staff, open, and operate a casino resort. In the past, the Company has been able to sustain itself through various short term borrowings, however, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $81,454, while accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $11,418,778 and the Company had an accumulated deficit of $44,303,968. In addition, the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $909,898 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Therefore, in order to sustain itself, it is imperative that the Company secure a source of funds to provide further working capital.

Management of the Company believes it will be difficult to secure suitable financing that would allow it to continue to pursue ultimate development of the Property. Therefore, on March 25, 2019, Mississippi Gaming Corporation entered into a brokerage agreement with an unrelated third party to seek a buyer for all or part of the Property or, alternatively, to seek a joint venture partner for the project. The brokerage agreement has expired, but the Company continues to work with the broker on the same terms that applied under the contract.

The above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and its ability to generate cash to meet its cash requirements for the following twelve months as of the date of this Form 10-Q.





COVID-19

The Company had no casino or other operations in 2020 and 2021 when COVID-19 surfaced. Therefore, the Company did not experience the adverse consequences that other casino companies experienced from COVID-19 based on their cessation of casino-related operations. However, as a result of COVID, the Company's sole employee, its President, was unable to travel domestically or internationally to meet with potential investors or potential joint venture partners or to meet with outside, independent contractors. The extent to which COVID-19 may have affected the market for financing new construction in the hospitality, hotel and casino industries given the impact of COVID-19 on this segment of the economy is unknown. The Company did not incur any extraordinary expenses as a result of COVID-19, nor did it obtain any loans under the CARES Act.

Financial Results and Analysis

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net losses applicable to common stockholders of $909,898 and $904,044, respectively. The increase in the loss, which totaled $20,958, is primarily due to increased administrative and general expenses in 2022.

Administrative and general expenses incurred totaled $368,179 and $337,770 for the six months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The table below depicts the major categories comprising these expenses:





                                            June 30,      June 30,
                                              2022          2021
Payroll and Related Taxes                   $ 150,000     $ 150,000
Director Fees                                  45,000        45,000
Professional Services                          56,121        47,855
Rents and Insurances                           42,205        41,307

Total General and Administrative Expenses $ 368,179 $ 337,770






Other Income and Expense

Interest expense incurred totaled $456,645 and $409,525 for the six months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an increase of $47,120. The increase in 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of accrued interest on unpaid wages which continues to accrue yearly, and the impact from new borrowings and amortization of debt discount during the last two quarters of 2021 and the first two quarters of 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $71,750 loss pertaining to the change in fair value of the stock issuance liability.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





Management Agreement

On June 19, 1993, two subsidiaries of the Company, Casino World Inc. and Mississippi Gaming Corporation, entered into a Management Agreement with Casinos Austria Maritime Corporation (CAMC). Subject to certain conditions, under the Management Agreement, CAMC would operate, on an exclusive basis, all of the Company's proposed dockside gaming casinos in the State of Mississippi, including any operation fifty percent (50%) or more of which is owned by the Company or its affiliates. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, the Agreement terminates five years from the first day of actual Mississippi gaming operations and provides for the payment of an annual operational term management fee of 1.2% of all gross gaming revenues between zero and $100,000,000; plus 0.75% of gross gaming revenue between $100,000,000 and $140,000,000; plus 0.5% of gross gaming revenue above $140,000,000; plus two percent of the net gaming revenue between zero and $25,000,000; plus three percent of the net gaming revenue above twenty-five million dollars $25,000,000. The Company believes this Agreement is no longer in effect. However, there can be no assurance that CAMC will not attempt to maintain otherwise which would lead to litigation.

Related Party

In July 2017, the Chairman of the Board paid $67,628 for all property taxes due, together with all interest due thereon, to Hancock County, Mississippi for an approximate 400-acre tract of land ("the Diamondhead Property"), owned by Mississippi Gaming Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In 2018, the Chairman advanced additional funds totaling $205,250 to the Company. In 2019, the Chairman advanced additional funds totaling $125,396 to the Company. In 2020, the Chairman advanced additional funds totaling $69,679 to the Company. The conditions of the notes under which the Chairman agreed to make the foregoing payments and advances are discussed in full detail in Note 8 of the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Of particular note to these conditions is that the Company agreed to indemnify the Chairman for losses, if any, sustained on the sale of certain common stock sold in an unrelated company to pay the property taxes due on the Diamondhead, Mississippi Property and to lend additional funds to the Company. On February 4, 2022, the Board of Directors entered into an agreement with the Chairman to issue 35,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Chairman to repurchase the indemnification. This repurchase eliminates any risk to the Company arising from the indemnification which could have been material. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $11,480 for the fair value of these shares, which have not yet been issued as of the issuance date of the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

There are no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that are material to our stockholders.
