DIAMONDHEAD CASINO CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Business

Diamondhead Casino Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) own a total of approximately 404.5 acres of unimproved land inowns, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mississippi Gaming Corporation, an approximate 400-acre undeveloped property located at 7051 Interstate 10, Diamondhead, Mississippi 39525 (hereafter “the Diamondhead Property” or “the Property”). The Company’s intent was and is to construct a casino resort and other amenities on which the Company plans,Property unilaterally or in conjunction with one or more partners,joint venture partners. However, the Company has been unable, to constructdate, to obtain financing to move the project forward and/or enter into a casino resortjoint venture partnership. There can be no assurance that the substantial funds required for the design and hotelconstruction of the project can be obtained or that such funds can be obtained on acceptable terms. In addition, the Company has been unable to obtain financing to sustain the Company. Due to its lack of financial resources and associated amenities.certain lawsuits filed by creditors against the Company, the Company was forced to explore other alternatives, including a sale of part or all of the Property. The Company’s preference is to sell only part of the Property inasmuch as this would appear to be in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to sell only part of the Property. The Company intends to continue to pursue a joint venture partnership and/or other financing while seeking a viable purchaser for part or all of the Property. Finally, there can be no assurance that if the requisite financing for the project were obtained and the project were constructed, that the project would be successful.

Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses over the past several years, has no operations, and generates no operating revenues. Duringrevenues, and as reflected in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Companyaccompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, incurred a net lossesloss applicable to common shareholders, exclusivestockholders of recording$909,898 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of change in fair value$44,303,968 as of derivatives,June 30, 2022. Due to its lack of $1,041,637.financial resources, the Company has been forced to explore other alternatives, including a sale of part or all of the Property.

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. Theproperty. That development of the Diamondhead Property is dependent onupon the Company obtaining the necessary capital, through either 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, in order to raise capital to continue to pay on-going costs and expenses, the Company has borrowed funds, through Private Placements of convertible instruments andas well as through other means,secured notes which are more fully described in Notes 5 6, 7 and 8through 9 to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is past duein default with respect to payment of significantboth principal and interest onunder the terms of most of these instruments. The Company is also in arrears with respect to payment of franchise taxes due to the State of Delaware for the years 2015 and 2016. In addition, the Company has also been unable to pay various routine operating expenses. At Septemberat June 30, 2017,2022, the Company had current liabilities totaling $9,069,246$11,418,778 of accounts payable and only $1,291accrued expenses and $81,454 in cash on hand.

The above conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diamondhead Casino Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Land Held for Development

Land held for development is carried at cost. Costs directly related to site development, such as licensing, permitting, engineering, and other costs, are capitalized.

Land development costs, which have been capitalized, consist of the following at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016:2021:

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Input other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable input that reflectsmanagement’s own assumptions.

The table listed below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending net balances for the derivative liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Sensitivity Analysis to ChangesFinancial instruments included in Level 3 Assumptions

Significant inputs include the dates when required conditions are expected to be met under the conversion terms of the debentures, the underlying market cap due to borrowings and losses and discount for lack of marketability. In addition, use of different ranges of bond discount rates and changes in historical volatility rates would also result in a higher or lower fair value.

Currentcurrent assets and current liabilities are financial instruments and management believes that theirreported at carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of theirvalue in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, which approximate fair valuesvalue due to their short term nature.

The convertible debentures and derivative liability approximate fair value based on Level 3 inputs, as furthermeasurement of the derivative indemnification liability discussed in Note 7.8 below was computed using Level 1 inputs. There was 0 derivative indemnification liability at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.


Inasmuch as the Company repurchased the indemnification, there will be no further liability relating to the indemnification.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of longlivedlong-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows projected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets determined by appraisal, discounted cash flow projections, or other means. NoNaN impairment existed at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus other potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per shares since their effect would be antidilutive. Common shares outstanding consist of issued shares, including allocated and committed shares held by the ESOP trust, less shares held in treasury. Common shares outstanding excludes the 860,000 shares subject to be issued in connection with notes payables (see note 9) and 35,000 shares subject to be issued to Mr. Harrison (see note 10). The dilutive securities below do not include 5,055,555 potentially convertible Debentures since the requirements for possible conversion have not yet been met and may never be met.

The table below summarizes the components of potential dilutive securities at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815, and Leases (Topic 841). This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. This pronouncement was amended under ASU 2019-10 to allow an extension on the adoption date to entities that qualify as a small reporting company. The Company has elected this extension and the effective date for the Company to adopt this standard will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard, but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

No other recent accounting pronouncements were issued by FASB that are believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Thus, the Second Tranche Debentures can be converted into a total of 1,888,889 shares of common stock. The Escrow Agent refunded $300,000 to those investors who did not consent to Amendment II.

The Company did not meet the closing obligations for the Third Tranche Debentures as of June 30, 2015, as was required pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement, as amended. Therefore, the remaining $850,000 being held in escrow for the purchase of the Third Tranche Debentures was returned to the investors in July 2015.

For purposes of determining the proper accounting treatment and valuation of the instruments, the Company applied the provisions set forth in ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value in Financial Instruments" and ASC Topic 815, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Since the Notes issued have derivative features, the embedded derivatives should be bundled and valued as a single, compound embedded derivative, bifurcated from the debt host and treated as a liability. In addition, the valuation is required to be conducted for each reporting period the instrument is in existence.

The Company's stock was not trading from approximately September 4, 2014, when its stock registration was revoked, through approximately October 26, 2015, when its' stock begandefault with respect to trade again. The Company engaged an independent valuation expert to determineinterest payments due under the fair value of its shares of common stock for each quarter beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2014. For periods from September 30, 2014 through September 30, 2015, the fair value of the common stock was estimated by adjusting the most recent market price by changes in the underlying market cap due to changes in the value of net assets and applying a discount for lack of marketability inasmuch as the stock was not trading. After the stock began to trade again on or about October 26, 2015, the closing price of the stock was used in the valuation beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015 through this most recent valuation at September 30, 2017. Monte Carlo models were developed to value the derivative liability within the Notes using a historical volatility rate, based on comparable companies, of 132% at September 30, 2017 and 179% at December 31, 2016, and using discount bond rates based on the expected remaining term of each instrument ranging from 6.35% to 6.78% at September 30, 2017 and 5.26% at December 31, 2016. In addition, the September 30, 2017 valuation included that the conversion requirements for Tranche I Debentures, exclusive of price, were met as of September 30, 2017 and continue to be met at September 30, 2017, while conversion requirements for Tranche II Debentures were expected to be met by October 24, 2017.

The estimated fair value for the derivative liability relating to each Debenture at the balance sheet dates is as follows:

$ 2,030,289   

At the initial valuation date of each Tranche, a portion of the derivative liability was allocated to the Convertible Debentures as debt discount, with the remainder being recorded as other income/expense. At March 31, 2014, the initial valuation of the First Tranche Debentures, $1,000,000, was allocated to debt discount and, at December 31, 2014, the initial valuation of the Second Tranche Debentures, $850,000, was allocated to debt discount. The debt discount is subsequently amortized to expense using an effective interest methodology. Amortization of debt discount amounted to $98,947 and $48,146 for Convertible Debentures and $3,415 and $1,659 for the non-convertible Debenture for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The interest payment on the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Debentures for the calendar year 2015,agreements in the amount of $57,233, was due March 1, 2016. The interest payment on$427,081 and as a result, the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Debentures payable are reported as current liabilities.

On August 6, 2015, an Involuntary Petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court by three promissory note holders under title 11, United States Code, requesting an order for relief under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The three creditors listed combined claims of $150,000 in principal, plus interest due on certain promissory notes. On August 28, 2015, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petition or, in the Alternative, to Convert the Case to Chapter 11 (the "Motion to Dismiss"). The Company maintained that the Petition was filed in bad faith by supporters of the dissident slate which lost the proxy contest that was decided by the stockholders on June 8, 2015 and that it was filed in retaliation for the Company's refusal, following the stockholders' vote, to place several of the losing dissident's nominees on the Board of Directors. On September 11, 15 and 17, 2015, three additional promissory note holders filed Joinders to the Involuntary Petition listing additional combined claims of $237,500 plus interest.

On January 15, 2016, the Court held an evidentiary hearing on the Company's Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petitions. The parties filed briefs in support of and in opposition to the motion.

On June 7, 2016, the Court entered an Order granting the Company's Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petitions. In its accompanying Opinion, the Court found, in part, that based on the totality of the circumstances, the Creditors' primary concern in filing the involuntary petition was to effect a change in management to benefit their investments as stockholders, which was not a proper purpose for filing an involuntary bankruptcy petition. On June 30, 2016, the Company filed a Motion for an Award of Fees and Expenses and Punitive Damages. On August 11, 2016, the Petitioning Creditors filed an Opposition to the Company's Motion for an Award of Fees and Expenses and Punitive Damages.

COVID-19

The Company had no casino or other operations in 2020 and 2021 when COVID-19 surfaced.

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”)(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.

Critical Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparationRefer to Note 3 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.statements.

Fair Value Measurements

19

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The standard discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The standard utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Input other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable input that reflectsmanagement’s own assumptions.


24


The table listed below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending net balances for the derivative liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Derivative Liability

$1,269,598

$2,030,289

Sensitivity Analysis to Changes in Level 3 Assumptions

Significant inputs include the dates when required conditions are expected to be met under the conversion terms of the debentures, the underlying market cap due to borrowings and losses and discount for lack of marketability. In addition, use of different ranges of bond discount rates and changes in historical volatility rates would also result in a higher or lower fair value.

Current assets and current liabilities are financial instruments and management believes that their carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The convertible debentures and derivative liability approximate fair value based on Level 3 inputs.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of longlived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows projected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of such assets determined by appraisal, discounted cash flow projections, or other means. No impairment existed at September 30, 2017.

The Company currentlyAs a smaller reporting company, information under this item is not subjectrequired to any trading or non-trading market risk-sensitive instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of ourChief Executive Officer, who also serves as Chief Financial Officer,carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2022. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s Rules and Forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the results of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of SeptemberDecember 31, 2021.

The management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with existing policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that material weaknesses over financial reporting existed as of June 30, 2017.2022. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1.We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions.
2.

We have not been timely in our financial reporting functions. Management has not developed and effectively communicated its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices with regards to complex debt and equity transactions.

3.The loan and lien details are not reviewed by the board of directors.

The Company has designed and instituted policies and procedures to eliminate and/or mitigate the foregoing.

As a result of the material weaknesses identified above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2022. The Company has initiated policies and procedures to address the above weakness. While segregation of duties is very difficult in a small company, the Company intends to file timely reports and utilize third-party consultants to ensure effective financial reporting and disclosures are met.

To address the material weaknesses identified, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 that are expected to materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CASE DISMISSED/ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES AWARDED TO THE COMPANY

In re Diamondhead Casino Corporation (United States Bankruptcy Court)(District of Delaware)(Case No. 15-11647-LSS)

On August 6, 2015, an Involuntary Petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court by three promissory note holders under title 11, United States Code, requesting an order for relief under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The three creditors listed combined claims of $150,000 in principal, plus interest due on certain promissory notes. On August 28, 2015, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petition or, in the Alternative, to Convert the Case to Chapter 11 (the "Motion to Dismiss"). The Company maintained that the Petition was filed in bad faith by supporters of the dissident slate which lost the proxy contest that was decided by the stockholders on June 8, 2015 and that it was filed in retaliation for the Company's refusal, following the stockholders' vote, to place several of the losing dissident's nominees on the Board of Directors. On September 11, 15 and 17, 2015, three additional promissory note holders filed Joinders to the Involuntary Petition listing additional combined claims of $237,500 plus interest. The Company does not recognize one of the joining petitioners as a bona fide creditor of the Company.  On September 17, 2015, the six Petitioners, who were represented by the same attorneys, filed an Objection to the Company's Motion to Dismiss. On September 18, 2015, the six Petitioners filed an Emergency Motion for Entry of an Order Directing the Appointment of (I) an Interim Chapter 7 Trustee, or (II) alternatively, a Chapter 11 Trustee Should the Involuntary Case be converted (the "Emergency Motion").  The Court held an evidentiary hearing on the Emergency Motion in October 2015. On November 13, 2015, the Court denied the Petitioners' Emergency Motion as it related to the request for an interim Chapter 7 trustee. On January 15, 2016, the Court held an evidentiary hearing on the Company's Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petitions. The parties filed briefs in support of and in opposition to the motion.

On June 7, 2016, the Court entered an Order granting the Company's Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petitions. In its accompanying Opinion, the Court found, in part, that based on the totality of the circumstances, the Creditors' primary concern in filing the involuntary petition was to effect a change in management to benefit their investments as stockholders, which was not a proper purpose for filing an involuntary bankruptcy petition. On June 30, 2016, the Company filed a Motion for an Award of Fees and Expenses and Punitive Damages. On August 11, 2016, the Petitioning Creditors filed an Opposition to the Company's Motion for an Award of Fees and Expenses and Punitive Damages. On August 31, 2016, the Court entered an Order awarding judgment to the Company for attorneys’ fees and expenses against the Petitioners, jointly and severally, in the amount of $54,886. On September 1, 2016, the Court filed an Amended Order in which it further stated that the amounts awarded were not subject to any setoff against amounts owed by the Company to the Petitioners. The Company has filed a collection action against the Petitioners to collect the attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in defending this action. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company collected $20,000 from one petitioner in connection with the collection action.
