ACQUISITION OF GOLD COAST GAMING GROUP:-
The Company has acquired Gold Coast Gaming Corp (“Gold Coast”), effective August 11, 2014, which at present owns two subsidiary companies which own and operate two land based Adult Social Gaming Arcades in South Florida. At present, with its initial two operational sites, Gold Coast is expected to generate annual net revenues of $1.6 million and Annual Gross Gaming of $4,500,000. Gold Coast will contribute to the Company’s revenues with immediate effect and will be accounted for in the Company’s Annual Results to September 30, 2014.
The Company acquired Gold Coast and its two subsidiary companies for an amount of $2,570,000, settled through the issuance of 2,570,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 each. Full details of this acquisition will filed today on the OTC Disclosure Service. The Company will not be taking any impairment charges on this acquisition as it is comprised of various fixed and tangible assets and goodwill. No liabilities are being assumed in this acquisition.
IMMEDIATE PROSPECTS FOR GOLD COAST GAMING GROUP:-
The Company’s rationale for the acquisition of Gold Coast and its strategy for Gold Coast is the expansion through the immediate term acquisitions of an additional four similar and well established gaming operations in South Florida and for cash. The Company has secured the requisite funding for these additional four immediate term acquisitions and will be issuing shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 each; in settlement of this funding.
Management expects that Gold Coast will own and operate no less than six such operations by October 31, 2014. This is expected to result in annual net revenues of $5 million and Gross Gaming of $15 million. These additional acquisitions planned by Gold Coast are expected to yield various synergistic cost savings not yet factored into these projections.
Substantially more acquisitions by Gold Coast, post October 31, 2014 are planned and it is noted that the number of these acquisitions will be limited only by the Company’s ability to raise funds outside of its own retained cash earnings, as will be required to facilitate such further acquisitions.
Gold Coast has very strong Management and the operations are well established, existing Management will continue to manage the day to day operations and will oversee and execute the planned and targeted acquisition program. Peter Voss has also joined the Board of Gold Coast. Gold Coast will employ its own Finance Director and Operations Director upon the completion of the additional four acquisitions.
THE BUSINESS OF GOLD COAST:-
Gold Coast owns and operates Amusement Adult Arcade Game Rooms located in South Florida. Gold Coast offers customers an alternative to the oversized, overpriced, Las Vegas Style Slot Machines found at a Casino.

Lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks are always complimentary. There are plenty of Promotions such as: "Match Play, Hot Seats, Wheel Spins, Deal or No Deal, Pick-a-Chip, Early Bird Specials and free BINGO". All of these promotions give our customer more chances to win.
Game rooms are classified as “Arcade Amusement Center” which means a place of business having at least 50 coin operated amusement games or machines on premises which are operated for the entertainment of the general public and tourists as a bona fide amusement facility. Amusement games or machines means games which must be able to operate by the insertion of a coin, and which by application of skill may entitle the person playing or operating the game or machine to receive points or coupons, the cost value of which does not exceed $0.75 on any game played, which may be exchanged for merchandise.
