The Calcutta Auction site under development will have the domain name of www.golfcalcutta.com and will be managed by ________.  This site (English Version) will be fully developed by June of this year.  The Japanese version will follow shortly thereafter.

LEGAL FACTORS

The Calcutta Auction for golf has been in existence for many years all over the world.  In the State of Nevada, Calcutta Golf Pools are not considered gambling and therefore not regulated by the Gaming Commission, unless operated by a licensed casino in which case they are regulated. Licensed Casinos will be regulated in this activity.  Many US investors have been of the incorrect belief that online gaming is illegal, or soon may be.  This is not the case.  Online gaming is legal, licensed, and welcome in many areas of the world.  Australia became the primary first-world country to legalize online gaming and Europe, Asia, and South Africa have followed.  The US has many more Internet users but the rest of the world is rapidly catching up.

In the US there has been a wait and see attitude as far as online gaming is concerned.  Technically, the Justice Department has been arguing that it is illegal under some rather broad far fetched laws concerning wire transfers and the like, but there are no laws in any state in the US stating online gaming is illegal.  US lawmakers have taken some steps, but the net result has proven futile in banning online gaming.  In July 2000 the House of Representatives defeated a bill that would limit online gaming, and the passage of future legislation in the US looks unlikely.  The New Jersey Gaming Commission has indicated that online gambling is here to stay and is looking very seriously at ways to regulate the industry rather than ignoring the fact that people are gambling online from the United States. The State of Nevada has a law before its state legislature that may legalize online gabbling in some form.

GROWTH MARKET WORLDWIDE

The Online Gaming Industry is growing extremely fast worldwide.  Sport’s gaming is growing even faster.  One-company Online Gaming Systems (Symbol: OGAM) revenues grew 7,000% in the first quarter of 2000 from a year earlier results.  So, even if there were a ban on online gaming in the US, there are companies experiencing dramatic growth on a worldwide basis.  Internet gaming has the potential to reach over $100 billion per year from the 1999 level of $1.2 billion currently projected to grow to $10 billion in 2002.  According to Jason Ader, Bear Sterns managing director and gaming analyst, E-gaming is ready to explode.  Over the past few years the number of e-gaming sites has grown to over 650 and that number is climbing daily.  Another indicator is the growth of Casino Online Publications.  Online versions of these may be found at www.casinoplayer.com, www.strictlyslots.com, and www.pokerdigest.com.

PUBLIC COMPANY OPPORTUNITIES

Other companies that trade in the US market are Global Intertainment (Symbol: GGNC), Starnet (Symbol SMNN), Dotcom Entertainment Group (Symbol DCEG) and Total Entertainment (Symbol: TTLM).  Most of these companies are trading at 50% - 90% off their highs for the year due to the “DOT COM OVERVALUTION and RETRENCHMENT” and the fear of regulation from the US Justice Department, which should not affect these stocks over the long run and offers many attractive opportunities to acquire one of these public companies.  One stock that has fallen from $40 to $0.06 is Virtual Gaming Enterprises (Symbol: VGAM) has been recently recommended as a stock with strong growth potential.  VGAM operates 18 virtual casinos.

GENERAL OPERATIONS

The database, software, and auction control center will function from a cluster of high-performance file servers located in a highly secure location with redundant backup, including alternative power. Using a cluster system, the servers will have an uptime of approximately 99.9% making them highly reliable and available even with heavy demands.  State of the art web server, database, and auction management software have been custom designed and are being utilized.  Start up costs is detailed on page 5 as well as ongoing costs and expected revenues.

The owners of the winning bids for the top four players or fields will receive payouts as follows: 

Golf Calcutta, Inc. will retain 15% of the pools as revenue and to cover operating expenses and marketing promotions.

MARKETING

The four basic methods of marketing and promoting the Calcutta are via an affiliate program with golf professionals around the world, advertising in publications (e.g.  “Gambling OnLine”, which is published from Kennesaw, GA), target e-mail opt in lists, and search engine optimization. The Golf Professional program will offer to golf pros a financial incentive based upon the amounts wagered by each pro’s member golfers, who open an account on our web site. Our initial goal is to establish 500 golf professionals with each introducing 5 accounts for a total of 2,500 auction participant’s in the early stages of our operation.

Our auctioning techniques will develop from our initial learning experiences. For example, at the onset, the ranked money winners may be auctioned as follows. The first 30 top money winners auctioned individually, the next 4 auctioned as a field (a group), the next 10 as a field followed by the next 16, 20, 24 and then the remainder of players in a final field. This produces 36 entries in the pool.

 At a total weekly pool of approximately $200,000, our revenue stream equals 15% or approximately $24,000 per tournament. The right to bid on any entry will be reserved by us, which will stabilize the auctions, so no one player or field (group) of players are unfairly auctioned at ridiculous prices relative to the field. 

STATISTICAL DATA

Arrangements have been established to download and update our statistical file each Monday with the most recent changes to the top money leaders list. The statistics and biographical data for each player will also be tracked. This procedure has been automated to eliminate errors in data entry and reduce time.

2001 PRO-FORMA PROJECTIONS

COMPETITION

Of the 650 or so gambling sites on the web, none were found to offer the “Calcutta” style of gaming so many golfers are familiar with.  Instead, a few of the sites offer pari-mutuel betting for the top 10 or so ranked players.  Most online gaming sites are focused on other sports and do not offer gaming in golf.  Also, most sites are casino sites offering many types of gaming including cards, java based games and pari-mutuel betting.  None are specific and focused on the golfing industry.

FUTURE EXPANSION

1.                  Higher revenue stream as popularity grows worldwide.

2.                  Seven (7) existing additional golf tours to be added worldwide

3.                  Addition of US Seniors’ golf tour

4.                  Other methods of wagering to be added, such as pari-mutual type
