The aggregate market
value of the registrants Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the
registration based on the closing price as reported on the Pink Sheet Market on
March 15, 2007 was $6,451,074.
As of January 3,
2007, 278,508,293 Shares of the Registrants Common Stock, $0.01 par value,
were outstanding.
Portions of the
Registrants Proxy Statement for its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
filed are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Form 10-K.
At the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders held on July 17, 2002 the Shareholders approved the issuance
of 20,000,000 Shares of restricted Common Stock to Herbert Lindo, the President
of the Company for having assigned to the Company the Patent that was granted
on June 10, 2003. Titled SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE ROULETTE AND
OTHER GAME PLAY USING GAME TABLE AT A CASINO. Upon Mr. Lindos
request, the Shares were not issued until January 11, 2006, as restricted
securities. (See Part III Item 12 Beneficial
Ownership (1).)
At the regular meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Company held on December 1, 2004 at which
all six (6) members of the Board of Directors were present, the Directors (with
Herbert Lindo, the Chairman and President abstaining) unanimously voted to
issue 25,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to Herbert Lindo for having
assigned in October 2003 to the Company, the Patent which is pending
titled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING FUNDS TO A TERMINAL FOR REMOTE WAGERING
(lottery terminals). Upon Mr. Lindos request, the shares were not
issued until January 11, 2006, as restricted securities (see Part III
Item 12 Beneficial Ownership (1)).
On November 27, 2006
Herbert Lindo, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer exercised a five million
(5,000,000) share option for seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) at
fifteen cents ($0.15) per share pursuant to the Companys Performance and
Equity Plan. The price per share was the
price for the Option which would have expired on the following date. Mr. Lindo does not own any other Options
pursuant to the Plan. The average market
price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) days prior to November 27, 2006
was high: $0.05, low: $0.03. As provided
in the Plan, Herbert Lindo borrowed the seven hundred fifty thousand dollars
($750,000) from the Company and pledged the five million (5,000,000) and other
shares he owns, as collateral for the loan.
The five million (5,000,000) shares have not been issued. After Herbert Lindo pays for the five million
(5,000,000) shares, the shares will be issued as restricted shares.

PART I
ITEM 1DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Kenilworth Systems
Corporation hereinafter referred to as Kenilworth, the Company or we, was
incorporated on April 25, 1968 under the laws of the State of New
York. Kenilworth has been a publicly traded Company since August 1968
formerly on the National NASDAQ Market, presently on the OTC Pink Sheet Market
since emerging from Bankruptcy Proceedings in September 1998.
Kenilworth is now being presented as a Development Stage Company.
GENERAL
Since early in the
year 2000 we have been solely engaged in developing patents, markets and
investigating how best to obtain Governmental approvals, by engaging lobbyists
and consultants that would allow television satellite and cable subscribers
throughout the industrialized world to play and wager along from remote
locations with live, in-progress casino table games (Roulette, Craps, Baccarat
and more) from strictly regulated casinos located in the United States and
other locations around the world.
Employing the latest
encrypted satellite, cable and Internet technology and placing television
cameras in strategic locations above the casino table games, without disrupting
the normal game-monitoring activities, (a separate control room would direct
the various camera angles), and transmitting the table games over the digital
satellite, digital cable and Internet networks (in countries that permit
Internet wagering) to television sets (TVs), which become a platform for
playing along with the casino games wherever TVs are located.
Kenilworth titled
the overall project Roulabette. There are thirty-eight million
(38,000,000) satellite and seventy-three million (73,000,000) cable TV
subscribers in the United States and more than five hundred million
(500,000,000) subscribers throughout the rest of the industrialized world (The
Market). On average, households in the U.S. have three (3) TVs.
(It is important since the satellite and cable companies will charge a separate
fee for transmitting the table games). Public gathering places can
accommodate (be able to network) up to one thousand (1,000) or more TV sets
with a single satellite receiving dish, direct cable connections, or streamed
via the Internet. With wagering possible in homes, hotel rooms, resort rooms,
pubs, restaurants, race tracks and other public gathering places the Company
believes it will become a more than $500 billion net win Market within five (5) years throughout the
industrialized world (by the year ended 2012).
To best market the
casino games, the Company is selecting lotteries throughout the world to manage
and operate the distribution and cash handling (deposits to play and paying
winnings) using the lotteries existing databases for the sale of lottery
tickets, and paying winnings at regular lottery licensed terminal locations.
All forty-three
(43) lotteries in the United States are owned and operated by County and State
agencies. Since the beginning of year
2007, Texas, Illinois and Indiana are engaged in privatizing their lotteries by
selling or leasing (on long term leases) their lotteries. Maryland, Michigan, Iowa and New Jersey are
also exploring the privatization of their lotteries. This could greatly enhance
our efforts to broadcast the live casino table games to these lottery locations
and could result in having Cafés that offer terminals and TV sets to play
along. Internet Cafés that offer
wagering on various events have been a huge success in the Asian Market. With
Internet wagering outlawed in the United States, our patented satellite,
one-way broadcasts offer the best possibility to establish satellite Cafés.
Throughout the
rest of the world, lotteries are owned by government agencies or non profit
charitable agencies that distribute the net earnings to benefit social and
charitable programs, or by private entities that pay a percentage of their net
win to designated government agencies.
5
These foreign
lotteries also have the same databases as lotteries in the United States,
except most lotteries throughout Europe pool their lotteries between countries,
not unlike Mega Millions and PowerBall in the United States, which makes the
distribution simpler and very cost effective for both Kenilworth and the
lotteries.
There are no
technical breakthroughs required. The equipment for the technology is
readily available. What is needed is to get through the maze of Local,
County, State and Federal regulations in each U.S. State and foreign
countries. When the first State in the United States grants the Company
permission to transmit the broadcast from one of its casinos to their residents
and to States that do not have any casinos, (the entire East coast of the
United States), the other forty-three (43) States with lotteries will join
expeditiously. The same will occur in foreign countries.
Kenilworth will
share the net win revenue with all
participating entities that provide Roulabette gaming without costs of any kind. State lotteries or their private
operators will receive a minimum of forty percent (40%) of the total net win from their respective
jurisdictions.
In States and
foreign countries that designate exclusively lottery proceeds to schools and
their teachers it is a welcome contribution. It also will help close
budget gaps.
In addition,
throughout the United States and most foreign countries there are hundreds of
facilities that simulcast live in-progress horse/dog races. At most
facilities there are several large TV screens that show the races from the
different tracks with general theater-type seating for patrons and at private
cubicles with television sets outfitted with touch screens. The cubicles
rent for additional fees. After players open an account and select pin
numbers, they can watch, in privacy, each race offered on the different tracks
on the TV and place wagers on the different races by simply changing
channels. The players may also watch sporting events, the news, the stock
market reports, and in the near future Roulabette, live, in-progress casino
table games. The simulcast centers have their own databases to manage the
cash deposit and pay winnings on the horse/dog races and will be able to manage
the casino games, on the same methods as the lotteries will manage
Roulabette. With private TVs, available in simulcast centers,
especially at night, when fewer tracks are operating.
When playing along
with live table games from a highly regulated jurisdiction, players will be
assured that the game results are exactly what they see; and, playing along
with live casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat, we believe,
will provide interaction, fun and far more excitement than playing make believe
animated (virtual) games. It is the next best thing, we believe, to actually
being at the table in the casino.
To conduct actual
live test broadcasts Kenilworth believes it will require a minimum of ten
million dollars ($10,000,000) and there are no assurances we will ever be able
to obtain any of such money. At present, the Company does not have the funds
readily available but hopes to obtain same, from investors, as soon as
Kenilworth can commence broadcasting from a casino in the United States or
other casinos throughout the world.
In prior years,
Kenilworth completed a prototype system that allowed casino patrons to play
along with live in-progress casino table games only within the confines of a casino, via closed circuit
television. Also in 1990, we developed and delivered for the TAB (Totalizator
Agency Board) a quasy government agency of the State of Victoria, Australia, a
cashless slot machine system. Both systems required debit cards and central
mainframe computers to manage the wagers. By making use of the expertise applied
in the development of the aforementioned systems we plan to develop a
second-generation system that will manage the wagers by the microprocessor
installed in TV set-top boxes or an attachment directly connected to the TV set
to receive satellite and/or Internet broadcasts. This as planned would allow a
player in an interactive manner, at a remote location (outside the casino
confines), to experience the actual play and excitement at the casino table
game and to make wagers on the various games, without having to be physically
present at the casino or casino table. There are no assurances we will be
able to successfully develop any system.
6
We also propose
for slot machine manufacturers to develop Roulabette Slot Machines.
The Roulabette Slot will offer the regular slot or video lottery games and by
the touch of a button, the live in-progress casino table games. Slot
players are offered a change of pace at the cost of a slot handle pull.
The games are transmitted to the Roulabette Slot via satellite or the Internet
(all broadcasts are encrypted to prevent unauthorized use of the broadcasts).
Where authorized,
hotels, resorts, clubs and other public gathering places will be able to offer
casino table game action in their establishments without incurring the costs to
operate a casino. There are now believed to be more than ten million
(10,000,000) slot machines played throughout the world, outside of casino
confines.
Project
Roulabette is a concept intended to be built and there can be no assurances
that it will ever be built. The Patented microprocessors to be installed
in the TV set top boxes have not been designed.
SUMMARY:
(1.)
Kenilworth continues to fine tune its patented technology dubbed
Roulabette. It now plans to outsource
the manufacturing of all the components instead as formerly manufacture some of
the equipment in its 26,000,000 square foot facility located in Melville,
NY. Roulabette would allow casino
patrons and other players to play along with live in-progress casino table
games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and more via digital satellite,
digital cable television or Internet broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from
strictly regulated casinos located in the United States and other locations
around the world, to self-sufficient computer terminals dubbed Roulabette
Slots and digital satellite, cable TV set top boxes or the Internet in
countries that permit Internet gaming. The Roulabette terminal is a proposal
intended to be built and there can be no assurances that it will ever be
built. The microprocessors to be installed in the TV set top boxes have
not been designed. We have as at July 31, 2006, no firm agreements, customers,
or proposals for any future business and there can be no assurances that we
will ever have same. Reference is also made
to each of the Risk Factors that are set forth in Item 7.
(2.)
We believe the thousand virtual casino websites via the Internet obtain sixty
percent (60%) of their annual revenue from customers in the U.S. These website have been shut down when President
Bush signed the Internet Enforcement Act of 2006.
Simulcast
broadcasts of digital satellite and digital cable transmissions around the
world must meet, and will be supervised by, the regulations by the gaming
authorities of the broadcasting casino and the jurisdiction, which receives the
broadcast. We believe the supervision will not be difficult to enforce,
because all simulcast wagering is cash only, from regulated, supervised
betting sites. There are no wire money transfers with banks and no credit
or debit cards permitted. We believe this fact should ease any opposition
from concerned citizens and anti-gambling groups, as regulation and enforcement
responsibility will be vested in each individual state (or foreign
jurisdiction).
Kenilworth was the
first to use color personal computers (PCs) to replace electromechanical slot
machines (1988). We provided the software for the first Tabaret located
at the Menzie at the Rialto in Melbourne, Australia, which opened in November
1990. This consisted of cashless, variable denomination and multiple
game, virtual PATs (Player Activated Terminals). Prior thereto
Kenilworth sponsored, with the assistance of three (3) Nevada casino operators,
legislation to permit cashless wagering in the state of Nevada. The
legislation, which is in the form of an amendment to existing casino control
statutes, permits the use of account cards (debit cards) and was signed into
law by Governor Richard H. Bryan on June 13, 1985.
Kenilworth has
been a publicly traded Company since 1968. Prior to commencing its endeavors
into its present business in 1988, it also provided security systems to Nuclear
Electric Generating Plants in the U.S. and foreign countries, as well as
time/attendance systems at a major department store chain.
7
THE STATUS WITH
PAGCOR
During January
2006, the Company reestablished negotiations with the Philippines Amusement and
Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) for permission to broadcast live, in-progress
casino table games from their casinos.
PAGCOR is the Republic
of the Philippines chartered government gaming monopoly. PAGCOR partially
owns and exclusively operates all fourteen (14) Filipino casinos, some of which
are located in exclusive resort facilities frequented by Asian patrons
(tourists).
In March 2006,
Kenilworth conducted a live, in-progress casino table game test to demonstrate
the ability to broadcast the table games, for around the world viewing, without
disrupting the normal security monitoring and protecting the privacy of players
at adjoining table games. The film clip of the test broadcast which was
made at a roulette table located in the new Hyatt Hotel and Casino, Manila, is
available for viewing on our website www.kenilworthsys.com (see Press Release:
Monday, March 6, 2006).
In April 2006,
Kenilworth offered to pay PAGCOR monthly payments, for hosting the broadcasts
when they commence, for a period of ten (10) years; US $1 million for year one
(1); US $2 million for years two (2) and three (3); US $5 million for years
four (4) through seven (7) and US $10 million for every year thereafter,
totaling US $636,000,000 over the ten (10) year period. The payments have to be
made regardless from where we broadcast. Kenilworth requires the
flexibility to broadcast from other casinos besides the Philippines.
In July 2006,
PAGCOR board of Directors approved to commence the first live, in-progress
casino table game broadcasts to emanate from the new (August 2005) Hyatt Hotel
& Casino in Manila, Philippines.
We, thus, have
acquired a broadcast site for Roulabette. Now we have to obtain
agreements for locations that will permit us to receive the broadcasts.
We are in an active search in Europe, including Eastern Europe, South America,
China, India and the Pacific Rim nations. We filed our patents in all of
these destinations. Our status with
PAGCOR since then is in serious doubt.
In 2002, the
Philippines Government permitted the establishment of two (2) Internet Cafés in
the Manila area and allowed the operators, for a fee to PAGCOR, to provide life-like
action on virtual baccarat, accept sports bets and video broadcast of actual
in-progress cock fights with wagering on the outcome. By year end 2004, the number of Cafés
operating in the Manila area increased to sixty (60) Cafés. At the end of 2006 there are now six hundred
(600) Cafés in Manila with an additional thirty four hundred (3,400) throughout
the country.
Kenilworth never
attempted to provide live in-progress real time casino table games to the Cafés
since President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
stated, at all times, that our broadcast should not expand gambling throughout
the Philippines. The Cafés now represent
a huge profit base for PAGCOR which provides the income from its overall
operation entirely for socio-civic endeavors. PAGCOR is the most profitable corporation in
the Philippines.
The phenomenal success by the Internet Cafés may not require our
broadcasts to improve PAGCORs income stream.
Kenilworth planned to broadcast to the Pacific Rim countries to maintain
the tourists trade to the Philippines resorts, all of which have casinos, and
now have to compete with Macau. We
believe PAGCOR will require our broadcasts to maintain the tourist trade.
MARKETING
STRATEGY/SALES PLAN
Our marketing
strategy consists of developing the Roulabette Slot terminal and the
Roulabette broadcasts. We estimate at this time, that we will need at least
approximately ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for promoting the Roulabette
concept. We do not have this money nor do we have any agreements or understanding
to procure this money. We may never get this money. If we do obtain this money,
it may not be sufficient. Further, should such monies be available it may not
be available on terms
8
satisfactory to
Kenilworth or it may be available on such terms that substantially dilute the
interest of existing shareholders. If we obtain this money, we will need
substantial additional funds for the proposed marketing plan and there can be
no assurances that such funds will ever be available to allow Kenilworth to engage
in business on a profitable basis.
At the present
time, we do not engage technically oriented employees who will be able to
assist in the development of Roulabette (we have available three [3] former
technical Kenilworth employees that have indicated to rejoin Kenilworth at the
appropriate time). It will be necessary for us to obtain additional personnel
qualified and with the expertise to develop Roulabette. We would require
additional employees and several more consultants and there can be no assurances
of our being able to obtain any necessary personnel. There can be no assurances
of the availability of any such employees and consultants.
The Company will
outsource the development of Roulabette and the microprocessors for the TV set
top boxes.
In the United
States, Kenilworth must refrain from using the Worldwide Web (WWW) Internet to
manage wagers from individuals outside of the casino confines. It is against
the law. In Roulabette, the play-along broadcast emanates from casinos that
are regulated by strict and comprehensive rules and state and jurisdiction
regulations, enforced by gaming control regulators and everybody plays along
with the same live table game. There is a world of difference between playing
in a virtual make believe casino compared with an actual casino.
For the reasons
stated, Kenilworth will ask state lotteries, Off-Track Betting (OTB)
corporations, pari-mutuel race tracks, and other state and federal regulated
agencies to manage the wagers from individuals playing along on their PCs and
their television sets using interactive TV set top boxes that convert regular
television sets into minicomputers within their state or jurisdiction. There
can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain any arrangement with any of
these entities or that they would be on suitable terms.
The individuals
would have to pre-deposit funds into an account with the wager management
company and then place wagers with their credit balance. The wagers and running
balances will be transmitted to the Roulabette players PC and/or television
sets with telephone lines not crossing any state lines, similar in principle to
telephone accounts wagering offered by the New York State Off-Track Betting
Corporation and the state of Nevada casino sports book and recently with remote
purchase of lottery tickets in many states within the United States.
After we obtain
permission to play Roulabette, of which there can be no assurances, in a
given state and engages a wager management organization in order to promote
digital satellite and interactive television to the states residents,
Kenilworth would install the eighteen (18) inch dish antenna and converter box
required to receive digital TV programming and interactive TV at its own cost,
if the subscriber opens a Roulabette wagering account for two hundred dollars
($200). In addition, Kenilworth would pay the monthly subscription fees to view
all digital TV programming offered and the Internet service provider (ISP)
subscription fee if the customer wagers at least one hundred twenty dollars
($120) each month win, lose, or draw makes no difference. In the U.S. the contracts would be financed
by the satellite carrier such as EchoStar and DirecTV.
In states with
approved lottery and/or other gambling legislation, we plan to introduce
Roulabette Slot terminals to hotels, clubs (similar to card clubs in
California) and resorts, to provide upscale gathering places for tourists and
local residents. Charitable organizations that are permitted to conduct Nevada
Nights and Bingo games may wish to offer Roulabette gaming on a more
permanent basis. To receive the broadcast signal, all that would be required is
an eighteen (18) inch dish TV antenna and distribution equipment. The
Roulabette terminals are intended to be self-sufficient and accept dollar
bills (or script, to control the amount an individual is allowed to wager in
one day or other time period). We plan to lease all the equipment necessary to
participants for a share of the profits.
To gain approval
for our Roulabette-style gambling in jurisdictions that have not approved any
gambling legislation, Kenilworth proposes to engage lobbyists to introduce,
promote, and obtain legislative approval to permit Roulabette-style gambling.
Our strategy is to find depressed resort areas and have the
9
resort/hotel
operators convince their local politicians of the benefits to their business
and the local economies and request them to promote legislative approval,
either state-wide or limited to their areas. Riverboat gambling started to
rehabilitate decaying waterfronts. Roulabette can do the same in depressed
economic areas. No assurances can be given that we can obtain any such
approvals.
When the live
casino TV broadcasts are beamed for global viewing, Kenilworth will seek out
similar organizations, as proposed for the United States and betting shops and
slot route operators that can provide the servicing of individual accounts and
placement of Roulabette terminals in hotels, clubs, pubs, racetracks, etc. In
all instances, we plan to offer only profit sharing arrangements to
franchisees, which will require leasing all the equipment necessary to the
franchisee, to discourage competition.
In overseas
installations, wherever permitted, Kenilworth will make use of the WWW Internet
only to manage the wagers, and only in jurisdictions that permit the data
collection of the gambler, not for the live broadcast.
In the event a
substantial amount is won by a player, Kenilworth will make the payment to the
winner, via money wire transfer, to the establishment which managed the wager,
within twenty-four (24) hours. Kenilworth will establish a worldwide cage
for winning payments; or, a guarantee payment by a well-recognized
international bank.
COMPETITION
Many segments of
the gaming industry are characterized by intense competition, with a large
number of companies offering the same type of wagering products and services.
None of these companies, at present, are believed to offer the same or similar
equipment or systems as intended by Roulabette. The most likely competition
will come from slot machine manufacturers who could relatively quickly adapt
slot machines to play along with live casino table games. We believe there are
three (3) major slot machine manufacturers in the world, all of which have
vastly greater capital resources and substantially more personnel than the
Company and may have under development systems that directly compete with
Roulabette.
Our present plans
are to broadcast the live casino table games from companies that own casinos
throughout the industrialized world. Other casino owners may start their own
broadcasts and have their own terminals manufactured that compete with
Kenilworth after Kenilworth has done all its pioneering for play-along
wagering.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS
AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our most important
assets are Patents we have acquired and Roulabette related trademarks and
service marks. The Patent granted on June 10, 2003 titled SYSTEM
AND METHOD FOR REMOTE ROULABETTE AND OTHER GAME PLAY USING GAME TABLE AT A
CASINO and Patent Application filed October 15, 2003, entitled METHOD
AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPLYING FUNDS TO A TERMINAL FOR REMOTE WAGERING, MULTI-USE
GAMING MACHINE trademarks ROULABETTE, as in pre-marked cards similar to
lottery cards to select number in each game, used with terminals ROULABETTE
SWIPE CARD to activate set-top boxes to play Roulabette and PLAY ALONG WITH
ROULABETTE, LIVE and MULTI-USE GAMING MACHINE.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS
Kenilworth has no
licenses from any casino regulating authorities and may not require any casino licenses
at the present time and may never become able to obtain any licenses that may
be required in the future. Each state has its own regulations, and in states
where Kenilworth does business, Kenilworth will have to comply with these
regulations and there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so or
obtain the necessary license in an applicable jurisdiction. The following
discussion is not necessarily complete, or current regarding laws and
regulations that may be applicable to us. Any present laws are also
subject to future change, amendment or cancellation.
10
Federal
The Federal
Gambling Devices Act of 1962 (the Federal Act) makes it unlawful for a person
to manufacture, deliver, or receive gaming machines, gaming machine type
devices and components thereof across interstate lines unless that person has
first registered with the Attorney General of the United States.
In addition,
various record keeping and equipment identification requirements are imposed by
the Federal Act. Violations of the Federal Act may result in seizure or
forfeiture of equipment, as well as other penalties.
Other
Regulations
The manufacture,
distribution, sale, and use of slot machines are controlled by state and
federal law, which may also apply to our Roulabette gaming terminals. Certain
foreign countries permit the importation, sale, or operation of slot machines.
Where importation is permitted, some countries prohibit or restrict the payout
feature of the traditional slot machine or limit the operation of slot machines
to a controlled number of casinos or casino-like locations. Certain of these
jurisdictions also require the licensing of gaming devices. Our Roulabette
terminals may be considered similar to slot machines and may have to meet these
regulations.

Attn: Herbert Lindo, Chairman and CEO
Re: Legal
Issues Relating to Roulabette(TM)
Dear Sir:
We are writing in
response to your request for an opinion as to the legal issues relating to the
implementation of the Roulabette(TM) concept of Kenilworth Systems Corporation
(KSC).
Roulabette(TM) is
a method and system for placing wagers on live, in-progress casino table games
such as roulette, baccarat and dice from locations remote from the actual
casino tables at which the games are taking place. The system begins at the
casino, where television cameras in strategic locations above the casino table
games follow the games being played at the casino tables, and microphones pick
up the sounds of the table play. The game play is transmitted via digital
satellite and cable transmissions to subscribers who are able to wager by using
set top boxes which receive the broadcast of the game and record wagers and results.
LEGAL ANALYSIS
In making use of
this opinion, Kenilworth Systems Corporation (KSC) should be aware that this
is a very complex area of law, involving U.S. federal gambling statutes, the
gambling statutes of the fifty states and the District of Columbia, and the
gambling statutes of all the countries of the world where you might want to
operate a Roulabette(TM) casino or offer Roulabette(TM) wagering. The gambling
laws of these jurisdictions vary widely, ranging from the absolute prohibition
of Utah, to the street-side betting shops of England, to the wide-open casinos
of Las Vegas. Further confusing matters is the fact that there is very little
statutory law specifically addressing remote gambling, and the few statutes
which do exist relate to Internet gambling, which is not the same as
Roulabette(TM). So, for the most part, we will be interpreting the provisions
of gambling statutes which were enacted before the digital technology of today
existed, and did not contemplate the possibility of playing casino games from
remote locations. Similarly, the case law
11
relative to remote
gambling is also very sparse and, once again, concerns Internet gambling, which
is different from Roulabette(TM). Finally, there are the interpretations of the
law relating to remote gambling which have been publicly pronounced by the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ), which in our opinion are clearly erroneous.
Consequently, although the opinions expressed below are our best assessment of
the situation after years of research and active involvement in numerous cases,
they are to a great extent projections of what we believe the courts would hold
if the issues were ever adjudicated. They are not shared by the DOJ, they do
not take into account laws which may be enacted in the future as the countries
of the world continue to address the issues of remote gambling, and in time
they may prove to be incorrect in one respect or another.
In the United
States, the prohibition and/or regulation of gambling is a matter of state law.
Some states, such as Nevada, permit a wide range of gambling activities
throughout the state. Other states, such as Mississippi and New Jersey, permit
a wide range of gambling activities, but only at certain geographic locations,
such as riverboats and Atlantic City casinos. Finally, other states, in fact
most states, permit only very limited gambling activities, such as thoroughbred
racing, jai alai, bingo, etc. Superimposed on this tangle of state laws and
regulations are the federal statutes, which are designed to assist the states
in combating illegal gambling operations which cross state and national
borders. So, basically, the U.S. legal regime applicable to gambling is
two-tiered. The individual states determine the forms of gambling which are
legal and illegal, and to what extent they are banned or regulated, and the
federal government assists the states in dealing with illegal gambling
activities which cross state or national borders.
Given the fact
that Roulabette(TM) would be most successful if distributed on a national or
international level, the federal issues must be addressed first to determine
whether it is legally feasible to distribute the product across state and
national borders. If there is no federal prohibition, casino locations must be
selected and the state and local laws of the jurisdiction where the casino is
located must be analyzed to determine if it is legal and feasible to broadcast
from the chosen locations. In view of the fact that casinos can be chosen from
anywhere in the world, there is little doubt that locations can be identified
from which to originate the broadcasts. It is only a matter of identifying the
best casino or casinos from a legal and business perspective. Finally, several
U.S. and foreign courts have concluded that remote gambling takes place both
where the server is located (or in this case, the casino), and where the player
is located. So, once one or more casinos are identified, another analysis will
be necessary to determine the markets where it would be legal to offer the
games being played. It is not a question of whether there are legal markets for
one or more games, but a matter of the number of markets available and the
types of games which can be offered in each market.
There are four
federal statutes which are most applicable to remote gambling.(1) They are:
(1) There
are also additional statutes, such as conspiracy (18 U.S.C.
section 371), money laundering (18 U.S.C. section 1956 and
racketeering (18 U.S.C. section 1962) statutes which could apply if
the gambling statutes are violated.
The Wire Act, which
prohibits the use of interstate or foreign communications facilities to
transmit wagering information on sporting events or contests; (2)
(2) 18
U.S.C. section 1084.
The Illegal Gambling
Businesses statute, which prohibits the operation of a gambling business in
violation of the laws of the state where it is conducted; (3)
(3) 18
U.S.C. section 1955.
The Travel Act, which
prohibits the use of interstate or foreign travel and the use of the mail or
any facility in interstate or foreign commerce (such as the Internet or digital
satellite services) to facilitate illegal activities, including illegal
gambling; (4) and
(4) 18
U.S.C. section 1952.
The Interstate
Transportation of Wagering Paraphernalia statute, which prohibits transporting
gambling-related items in interstate or foreign commerce. (5)
(5) 18
U.S.C. section 1953.
12
1. The Wire
Act
This statute
prohibits gambling businesses from using interstate or international telephone
facilities to transmit gambling-related information, and states:
Whoever
being engaged in the business of betting or wagering knowingly uses a wired
communication facility for the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce
of bets or wagers or information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on
any sporting event or contest, or for the transmission of a wire communication
which entitles the recipient to receive money or credit as a result of bets or
wagers, or for information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers, shall be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.(6)
(6) 18
U.S.C. section 1084(a).
The Wire Act has
been a formidable tool for the DOJ in the prosecution of operators of Internet
gaming sites. The DOJ merely has to establish that a bet was transmitted or
received over the Internet and it can obtain a conviction, without ever having
to address such issues as the actual location of the betting (i.e., where the
bettor is or where the bookmaker is), or the fact that the operator was
licensed by a sovereign nation to provide gambling services over the Internet.
In the Spring of
1998, when the United States Justice Department proclaimed its opinion that the
Wire Act prohibits Internet gambling, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno
announced charges against numerous off-shore Internet gambling operators,
stating:
The Internet is not an
electronic sanctuary for illegal betting. If a state outlaws soliciting
or accepting bets, you cant evade those requirements by going online. Its a
federal crime to use the Internet to conduct betting operations. And to
Internet betting operators everywhere we have a simple message; you cant hide
online and you cant hide off-shore.
This assertion
appears to be correct. Wire communication facility is broadly defined as an
instrumentality or service used or useful in the transmission of writings,
signs, pictures and sounds of all kinds by aid of wire, cable or other like
connection.(7) The courts have ruled that even with satellite transmissions,
there is still a wire connecting the gamblers computer to the Internet.(8) So,
even though Roulabette(TM) utilizes satellite transmissions, it is likely that
there will be a wire of some sort used for the transmission somewhere along the
line, most likely at the casino or at the players TV and set-top box. However,
regardless of whether a wire was used in the transmissions, the Wire Act still
would not apply for two reasons.
(7) 18 U.S.C. section
1081.
(8) World Interactive
Gaming, 1999 WL 591995, 6-8 (N.Y. S.Ct.) (Like a prohibited telephone
call from a gambling facility, the Internet is accessed by using a telephone
wire); United States v. Cohen, 260 F.3rd 68 (2nd Cir. 2001).
13
First, although
the DOJ takes the position that the Wire Act applies to all Internet gambling,
sports and non-sports alike, the courts have held otherwise. The DOJ reasons
that the word sports in the phrase sports events or contests modifies only
the word events thereby leading to a reading that the statute covers betting
on sports events and betting on [other] contests. However, the courts and
virtually all legal scholars and attorneys experienced in the field are of the
opinion that it only applies to sports betting.
The Supreme Court
has established the rules of statutory construction, and if the statutory
language is clear and unambiguous, then you look no further and follow the
language of the statute. The Wire Act makes it a crime to send or receive
wagers on sporting events and contests. Sporting events and contests are
football, baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, tennis prize fighting or
whatever, but not poker, bingo and similar games. Although a card game or a
poker tournament, may be a contest, is not as sporting contest.
If there is some
doubt as to the meaning of the statute, the courts turn to case law and the
legislative intent of Congress. There have been cases addressing the question
of whether the Wire Act applies to non-sports gambling and the case law is
consistent it does not. The most recent case dealing with the issue was In
re: MasterCard International, a civil RICO case, which hinged on the
applicability of the Wire Act to non-sports Internet gambling.(9) In deciding
the issue, the court stated that the wording of the Act, the case law and the
legislative intent all lead to the conclusion that the Wire Act only covers
sports gambling. The case was upheld on appeal by the Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals, which stated: we agree with the district courts statutory
interpretation, its reading of the relevant case law, its summary of the
relevant legislative history, and its conclusion.(10)
(9) 2001
WL 197834 (E.D.LA.).
(10) In
Re: MasterCard Intl., 313 F.3d 257, 262 5th Cir. 2002).
It should be noted
that although the DOJ loudly proclaims that the Wire Act applies to all
Internet gambling, it is apparently concerned that its interpretation may be
wrong, and has never attempted to use the statute against non-sports gambling
business in the ten years that Internet gaming has existed. In our opinion, the
Wire Act does not cover non-sports gambling, such as Roulabette(TM) that is
the law, as enacted by Congress and interpreted by the courts, the desires and
opinion of the DOJ notwithstanding.
Second, there is
an exemption to the Act, which provides that it is not illegal to transmit information
assisting in the placing of bets or wagers on a sporting event or contest from
a place where such betting is legal to another place where such betting is
legal.(11) The Roulabette(TM) broadcast would constitute information
assisting in the placing of bets or wagers within the meaning of the statute,
and it would be broadcast from a casino in a jurisdiction where such gaming
activity is legal to a jurisdiction where the actual wagering activities would
take place and where such wagering would be legal. Consequently, even if one
accepts, or accedes to, the expansive view of the U.S. Department of Justice,
with which most people do not agree, that the Wire Act is not limited to sports
betting but extends to other forms of wagering activities, Roulabette(TM) would
be exempted from the statute.

U.S.C. section 1084(b); United States v. Ross; Martin v. United States, 389
F.2d 895, 898 (5th Cir. 1968); See also e.g. United States v. Miller, 22 F.3d
1075 (11th Cir. 1994) (affirming conviction under Section 1084 for aiding and
abetting the telephonic transmission of wagering information between Georgia
and Nevada); United States v. Scavo, 593 F.2d 837 (8th Cir. 1978) (affirming
conviction of defendant who when living in Nevada provided gambling point
spread information to a Minnesota bookmaking business); United States v. Cohen,
260 F.3rd 68 (2nd Cir. 2001) (cert. denied, 2002).
2. The Illegal Gambling
Businesses Statute(12)
(12) This
statue is also knows s the Organized Crime Control Act or OCCA, because it was
included as part of that omnibus crime bill.
This statute prohibits
persons from operating an illegal gambling business, and states:
(a) Whoever conducts,
finances, manages, supervises, directs, or owns all or part of an illegal
gambling business shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
five years or both.
(b) As used in this section
illegal gambling business means a gambling business which (i) is a
violation of the law of a State or political subdivision in which it is
conducted; (ii) involves five or more persons who conduct, finance, manage,
supervise, direct, or own all or part of such
14
business;
and (iii) has been or remains in substantially continuous operation for a
period in excess of thirty days or has a gross revenue of $2,000 in any single
day.(13)
(13) 18
U.S.C. section 1955.
The statute
applies to all forms of gambling, sports and non-sports alike, and makes it a
federal offense to conduct, finance, manage, supervise, direct or own all or
part of an illegal gambling business. An illegal gambling business is defined
as a gambling business, which is a violation of the law of a State or
political subdivision in which it is conducted. The application of this
statute to Roulabette(TM) is obvious, because it applies to sports and
non-sports gambling alike, and Roulabette(TM) would be operated, managed,
financed or owned by at least five people. Despite the language appearing to
limit the statute to persons who conduct, finance, manage, etc., numerous cases
have recognized that the statute proscribes any degree of participation in an
illegal gambling business except participation as a bettor.(14) As one court
recently put it, conducts extends to those on lower echelons, but with a
function at their level necessary to the illegal gambling operation.(15)
(14) Sanabria
v. United States, 437 U.S. 54, 70-1 n.26 (1978).
(15) United
States v. OBrien, 131 F.3d 1428 (10th Cir. 1997).
However, unlike
the Wire Act, under this statute, the location of the actual activity is of
critical significance, because it must be a violation of the law of the state
or political subdivision in which it is conducted. This should not be an issue
for Roulabette(TM), because it intends to broadcast from a casino in a
jurisdiction where it would be legal. If it was not legal under the laws of the
jurisdiction where the casino is located, and the casino is in the United
States, then there would be a violation not only of state law, but of this
federal statute as well.
The statute could
also apply if the player is located in a state where the gambling would be in
violation of state law. I think there is little question that offering services
to players in a particular state would constitute doing business in that state.
So, it will be essential that the service not be offered to players located in
states where such gambling would be illegal. Otherwise there would be a
violation of this federal statute, as well as the laws of the players state.
3. The Travel Act
This statute
prohibits the use of interstate or foreign travel, and the use of the mail or
any facility in interstate or foreign commerce, to distribute the proceeds of
illegal gambling, or otherwise promote, manage or facilitate any illegal
activity, including gambling, in violation of federal or state law.(16)
(16) 18
U.S.C. section 1952.
15
Once again, the
statute will not present a problem so long as Roulabette(TM) is legal in the
state where the casino is located and the states where any U.S. players are
located.
4. The Transportation of
Wagering Paraphernalia Statute.
This statute
prohibits persons from carrying or sending gambling paraphernalia in interstate
or foreign commerce, and states:
Whoever ... knowingly
carries or sends in interstate or foreign commerce any record, paraphernalia,
ticket, certificate, bills, slip, token, paper, writing, or other device used,
or to be used, or adapted, devised, or designed for use in (a) bookmaking; or (b)
wagering pools with respect to a sporting event; or (c) in a numbers, policy,
bolita, or similar game shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not
more than 5 years or both.(17)
(17) 18
U.S.C. section 1953
A New York state
court declared that an Internet gambling web site located in Antigua violated
the law by sending records of gambling activity into the State of New York.(18)
Moreover, the court also held that the defendant Internet gambling operator
further violated the statute by sending computers to Antigua, which computers
would ultimately be used for conducting gambling business between the United
States and Antigua.(19) More on point, a California court has held that a
computer disk containing a program for recording and analyzing bets on sporting
events is gambling paraphernalia.(20) So, it is quite possible that the
Roulabette(TM) data could be deemed to be paraphernalia. However, this statute
should not apply because the data is not used, or to be used, or adapted,
devised, or designed for use in (a) bookmaking; or (b) wagering pools with
respect to a sporting event; or (c) in a numbers, policy, bolita, or similar
game. It is to be used in casino games, which are not covered by the statute.

States v. Mendelsohn, 896 F.2d 1183 (9th Cir. 1990).
OPINION AND SUMMARY
Based on the
analysis above, in our opinion Roulabette(TM) would be entirely legal under
U.S. federal law, so long as: (1) it is legal under the laws of the state where
the casino is located if the casino is in fact located in the United States,
and (2) the service is not offered to any player in the United States in
violation of the laws of the state where the player is located.
If KSC will select
one or more casinos from which it intends to broadcast the games, we will
research the jurisdiction where each such casino is located to determine if
there are any legal impediments to Roulabette(TM). I would suggest selecting a
Native American casino operated by a tribe which is receptive to the
Roulabette(TM) concept, and located in a state which would be amenable to
amending its compact with the tribe if research indicates that an amendment is
necessary. I would also suggest selecting a casino in a foreign jurisdiction,
which might be receptive to the Roulabette(TM) concept. A casino in a smaller
country, perhaps in the Caribbean would probably be a good selection.

analysis is useful to KSC. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the
issues further, please do not hesitate to contact me on my direct line at

(b) Holders.
There were approximately seven thousand (7,000) holders of record of
Common Stock of Kenilworth as of June 30, 2006.
(c)
Dividends. Kenilworth has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock. We plan
to apply any earnings it achieves to expansion of the business and does not
expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
(d) No
underwriters were involved in the sale of the unregistered Convertible
Promissory Notes. Exemption from registration is claimed under
Section 4(2) of the SEC Act of 1933 as amended. The proceeds
from the sale of all unregistered securities have all been used for working
capital.
The Company issued
78,472,044 shares of its Restricted Common Stock since December 31,
2005. All of the shares may have the restrictions lifted pursuant to
Rule 144 and Rule 144K within one (1) or two (2) years,

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion
following should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by, the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(A) RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Since we exited
from bankruptcy proceedings on September 28, 1998, we have had no revenues
from operations, and therefore sustained losses from general administration
expenses amounting to $850,079 in 2006, $3,815,302 in 2005 and $1,860,296 in
2004. Kenilworth has had no revenues from operations since exiting from
Bankruptcy Proceedings in September 1998.
(B) LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Kenilworth has not
conducted any new business operations since 1991. At December 31, 2006,
2005 and 2004 we had a deficiency in working capital of $436,910, $239,745 and
$219,659 respectively. In Kenilworths present state of operation to continue a
viable business plan, Kenilworth requires little funding. We have been
dependant upon the resources of its President, who receives no compensation,
and funds received from private investors, totaling $765400 in 2006, $776,250
in 2005 and $652,000 in 2004. In addition the Company issued restricted
Common Stock for services totaling $1,829,000 for 58,116,044 shares in 2006,
$1,723,000 for 15,885,000 shares in 2005 and $855,449 for 17,072,651 shares in
2004.
Our present plans
are to continue to develop a wagering system titled Roulabette that would
allow patrons all over the industrialized world to view and wager on live
casino table games on terminals placed in hotels, resorts, bars and other
public gathering places and in homes and offices on personal computers (PCs)
or television sets connected to set top boxes for Interactive TV via digital
satellite and digital cable broadcasts emanating from strictly regulated
casinos. At present we do not have sufficient liquidity and capital
resources to develop our business or to remain in business and we may never
have such resources.
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND RISK FACTORS
The information
contained in this Form 10-K and Kenilworths other filings with the
Securities Exchange Commission contain forward- looking statements within the
meaning of section 27A of the Securities
20
Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is
subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Such information involves
important risks and uncertainties.
Forward-Looking
Statements
The Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for
forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Annual Report
on this Form 10-Kcontains statements that are forward-looking, including,
but not limited to, statements relating to our business strategy and
development activities as well as other capital spending, financing sources,
the effects of regulation (including gaming and tax regulations), expectations
concerning future operations, margins, profitability and competition. Any
statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terminology such as may, will, should, would, could, believe,
expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, plan, continue or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking
information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly
affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may
differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our lack of recent
operating history, our dependence on Herbert Lindo, our Chairman and President
who is eighty-one (81) years old and existing management, general domestic or
international economic conditions, pending or future legal proceedings, changes
in federal or state tax laws or the administration of such laws, changes in
gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in certain
jurisdictions), applications for licenses and approvals under applicable
jurisdictional laws and regulations (including gaming laws and
regulations). You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which are based only on information currently available to us. We
undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
this 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2006.
RISK
FACTORS
NO
OPERATING HISTORY
We have had no new
revenues from operations since 1991. We exited from bankruptcy proceedings in
1998 without assets and liabilities. We have had no revenues from operations
since then and we may never have any revenues from operations in the future, which may result in the termination of our business.
WE
HAVE NO WORKING CAPITAL
As of
December 31, 2006 the working capital deficiency of Kenilworth was
$436,910. This will not enable Kenilworth to achieve any of its planned
operations. There can be no assurances that Kenilworth will again have
sufficient working capital to engage in its planned operations. Although
we have been able to obtain working capital from investors that purchase
Convertible Promissory Notes and by issuing restricted Common Shares for
services rendered.
OUR
BUSINESS IS ONLY IN THE PLANNING STAGE
Kenilworths
business except for the completion of the $9,000,000 contract with the
Totalizator Agency Board of Victoria, Australia, limited progress in the
Philippines remains in the planning stage. We plan to engage in the
development, manufacturing by subcontractors, and marketing of an operation
entitled Roulabette. Roulabette would allow casino patrons and other players
to play along for remote locations with live in-progress casino table games
such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and more via digital satellite and digital
cable television broadcasts (simulcasts) emanating from strictly regulated
casinos located in the United States or via the Internet in other locations
around the world, to self-sufficient computer terminals dubbed Roulabette
and digital satellite and cable TV set top boxes. The Roulabette terminal is a
proposal intended to be built and there can be no assurances that it will ever
be built. The microprocessors to be installed in the TV set top boxes
have not been designed. We have, as at
21
December 31,
2006, no specific agreements, customers or proposals for any future business
and there can be no assurances that we will ever have same.
WE
NEED AT LEAST TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000)
In order to
commence to develop the Roulabette terminal and the Roulabette broadcasts, we
estimate at this time, that we will need at least approximately ten million
dollars ($10,000,000). We do not have this money nor do we have any agreements
or understanding to procure this money. We may never get this money. If we do
obtain this money, it may not be sufficient. Further, should such monies be
available it may not be available on terms satisfactory to Kenilworth or it may
be available on such terms that substantially dilute the interest of existing
shareholders. If we obtain this money, we will need substantial additional
funds for the proposed marketing plan and there can be no assurances that such
funds will ever be available to allow Kenilworth to engage in business on a
profitable basis.
OUR
BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL
At the present
time, we do not have any employees who will be able to develop Roulabette. It
will be necessary for us to obtain personnel qualified and with the expertise
to develop Roulabette. We believe at this time we would require additional
employees and several consultants. There can be no assurances of the
availability of any such employees and consultants. The Company expects
to outsource the development of Roulabette and the microprocessors for the TV
set top boxes. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able
to do this successfully.
WE
ARE DEPENDANT UPON OUR PRESIDENT
Kenilworth has
been dependant upon the services of its president Herbert Lindo who is
eighty-one (81) years old. Herbert Lindo has performed his services during the
past fifteen (15) years without compensation. Should Kenilworth procure working
capital, there can be no assurances that he will continue to work without
receiving compensation. There also can be no assurances of Herbert Lindos
continued availability. We believe without assurances that present
management is capable to continue our present plans in the event that Herbert
Lindo is not available.
RAPID
CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY
The technology and
Roulabette in general is subject to rapid change. Kenilworth will need to
maintain an ongoing research and development effort of which there can be no
assurances of success or availability of funds. Additionally, there can
be no assurances that the development of technologies and products by
competitors will not render the Kenilworths products or technologies
non-competitive or obsolete.
WE
ARE ENGAGED IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY
Our business is
subject to significant competition. Competition exists from larger companies
that possess substantially greater technical, financial, sales and marketing
resources that Kenilworth presently possesses. Such competition is expected to
increase. Such increased competition may have a material adverse effect on
Kenilworths ability to successfully market its products.
WE WERE
GRANTED A PATENT FOR THE VARIOUS ASPECTS OF SIMULCAST WAGERING
On June 10,
2003, the U.S. Patent for the various aspects of wagering on live in-progress
casino table games was granted by the U.S. Patent Office to Herbert Lindo, the
Inventor and which Patent was assigned by Herbert Lindo to the Company in
August 2000. We filed the Patent for approval in forty-nine (49)
countries in the industrialized world including Russia and China. There can be
no assurances that foreign patents will be issued and the challenges will not
be instituted against the validity or enforceability of our patent.
Herbert Lindo also filed two (2) Patents in the U.S. Patent Offices in
September and October 2004 which Patents have been published to use
lottery terminals to accept deposits for wagers placed with the TV set top
boxes and the use of Play Cards similar to lottery tickets, which have also
been assigned to the
22
Company by Herbert
Lindo. A Patent Application for
Multi-Use Gaming Machines invented by Herbert Lindo and Gordon Coplein, Esq.
was published on February 1, 2007 and assigned, by the inventors, to
Kenilworth.
OUR
ROULABETTE TERMINALS ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN
JURISDICTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The use of
Roulabette may be subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations both in the United States and foreign countries. There can be no
assurances that we will ever be able to obtain licenses or permits necessary to
conduct our business or that we will be able to comply with these applicable
laws and regulations.
The Roulabette
system is planned to allow casino patrons and other players to play along with
live, in-progress casino table games such as Roulette, Craps and Baccarat and
more via digital satellite television and digital cable programming emanating
from regulated casinos.
OUR
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER US AND
MAY APPROVE OR REJECT MATTERS CONTRARY TO A VOTE OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Our executive
officers and directors together with their affiliates beneficially own a
significant percentage of our outstanding common stock. These stockholders, if
acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring
approval by our stockholders including the election of directors and the
approval of mergers or similar transactions even if the stockholders disagree.
SHARES
ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO FALL
If our
stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market,
the market price of our common stock could fall. As of January 15, 2007 we
added 78,472,044 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which are eligible for
sale by our Shareholders under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended or are otherwise registered for sale.
WE
DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We are not able to
pay any dividends because we have no funds available to do so. Even if we had
funds available, we do not intend or declare to pay any dividends on our common
stock in the near future.
ITEM 8FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The financial statements,
the accompanying notes are filed as part of this Report annexed at the end of
this report. See ITEM 15.
ITEM 9CHANGES AND
DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On October 2, 2006, Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. (Demetrius)
resigned as independent registered public accountants of Kenilworth Systems
Corporation (the Company). The Companys Board of Directors accepted
the resignation of Demetrius.
The report of Demetrius on the Companys financial
statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended neither contains
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor is modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the opinion
includes an explanatory paragraph that the Company has incurred operating
losses since its inception as a development stage company for the period
beginning November 24, 1998, which raises substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. Demetrius did not issue a report
on the Companys financial statements as of December 31, 2005 or for the year
then ended.
23
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and
2005 and the period from January 1, 2006 to October 2, 2006, there were no
disagreements with Demetrius on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Demetrius, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
its report.
Effective February 5, 2007, the Company engaged KGS,
LLP as its independent certified public accountants with respect to the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. The Companys Board of Directors
approved the engagement of KGS, LLP.
ITEM 9ACONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
a.)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has
evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys
management including the Companys Chairman, Chief Executive Officer who is
also its Financial Officer. The effectiveness of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15
(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems evaluation of controls can provide
only reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within the Company have been detected. However, based on that
evaluation, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who is also the
Companys Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this Report at a reasonable assurance level.
b.)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no
change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the annual period ending December 31, 2006, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

Notes to consolidated
financial statements
(b) On July 12, 2002 Kenilworth filed an 8-K
in which the Company reported the following event:
Herbert
Lindo, Chairman and President of Kenilworth Systems Corporation (Kenilworth)
since 1972, advised the Companys Board of Directors that on June 26, 2002
the Sheriff of Nassau County (the Sheriff) sold at a purported Public Auction
Sale (the Sale) 10,333,450 restricted common shares of Kenilworth Systems
Corporation (the Shares) that he had owned and which represented control (14%
of the outstanding shares) of Kenilworth, for one thousand dollars ($1,000) or
$0.000095 per share. The Shares were sold to Tappan Zee Capital Corp. (Tappan
Zee). On the date of the Sale the Shares had a market value of nine
hundred thirty thousand ten dollars and fifty cents ($930,010.50). The
Sheriff seized and sold the Shares on behalf of Tappan Zee, as a result of a
claim by Tappan Zee in a disputed civil suit brought in the New York Supreme
Court for $128,062. Tappan Zee was both the foreclosing party and the
purchaser. Herbert Lindo owned Real Estate at the time valued in excess
of $128,062 which the Sheriff could have seized instead of the Kenilworth
Shares.
Kenilworth
claims that the Sheriffs Auction Sale was conducted in a fraudulent manner by
(1) failing to comply with the rules and regulations set forth under
the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1933 and 1934, as amended (The Acts)
the New York State Securities Laws, and (2) by failing to properly
advertise the Sale, failing to notify any or all Kenilworth shareholders
(numbering approximately 5,500), and (3) failing to register the
Restricted Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission before conducting
the Sale or in the absence of registering the Shares, obtain a No-Action letter
from the Commission permitting the Public Sale, and (4) by making an
immediate distribution of the Restricted Shares, and (5) by concluding the
auction sale despite only one (1) bidder that appeared and bid only one
thousand dollars ($1,000) for all the shares when the market value of the
10,333,450 shares was nine hundred thirty thousand ten dollars and fifty cents
($930,010.50). He should have adjourned the auction and then advertise
the auction sale in appropriate newspapers that quoted Kenilworth Systems
Corporation shares which has traded since 1968 under the trading symbol KENS
on organized exchanges NASDAQ and OTC, and (6) by failing to file required
notices of 13 D-G as provided under the Acts. Tappan Zee and its Counsel
and the Sheriffs department were advised in court documents and correspondence
that their acts violated Federal and State Securities Laws and of the existence
of the Real Property, prior to the Sale.
By
the attorneys for Tappan Zees failure to seize the Real Property owned by
Herbert Lindo raises the question of complicity to take control of Kenilworth
instead of satisfying a disputed claim for $128,062.
Kenilworth
or Herbert Lindo, as an individual will seek in Federal or State Courts to
cancel the 10,333,450 shares, which were subject of the Sheriff Auctions Sale,
and seek triple damages under RICO on behalf of the shareholders of Kenilworth,
the damaged parties. Herbert Lindo and Kenilworth have not
29
commenced any
proceedings against the Sheriffs Office of Nassau County and Tappan Zee and
the attorneys representations Tappan Zee since we believe that the Statue for
Security Fraud does not expire until June 26, 2007 or possibly 2009.
At
the this time, the Company does not wish to spend the substantial funds
required to commence the action nor does Mr. Lindo have the time, at
present, to assist in any law suit Kenilworth may institute on behalf of its
Shareholders.
Kenilworth
will distribute the proceeds, if any, from any settlement or court award to the
Shareholders that owned Kenilworth Common Stock on or before June 26,
2002.
In
June 2003, the Madison Bank of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania returned two
million (2,000,000) of the wrong fully distributed shares by Tappan Zee for
cancellation to American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, Kenilworths Stock
Transfer Agents. Since the Madison Bank was complacent with Tappan Zee in
the fraudulent seizure and auction of the shares, neither Herbert Lindo
nor Kenilworth issued general releases to the Madison Bank, although the
subsequent Madison Bank and Kenilworth Agreement provided for the
releases. The Company was desirous of having the two million (2,000,000)
shares returned, reducing the claim against the Nassau County Sheriffs
Department and for future free distribution to Kenilworths shareholders on
record on June 26, 2002 which were not made aware by the Sheriff of the
Auction Sale.

reported on FORM 8-K:
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On
June 27, 2005 Kenilworth Systems Corporation entered into an exclusive one (1)
year Consulting Contract with Alfred J. Luciani, Esq. starting July 1,
2005. Mr. Luciani is an authority in Native American casino regulations
and MegaBingo, a linked, multi-state on-reservation bingo game offered by
Native American casinos. He will head the Companys planned project to
bring live in-progress casino table game tournaments from and between Native
American on-reservation casinos. Mr.
Luciani resigned his position in December 2005.
On July
13, 2005 the Company reported on FORM 8-K:
ITEM
4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On
June 17, 2005, Officers of the Company determined that the Company should
restate its previously issued consolidated balance sheets, statements of
operations and statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2004, December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the three month period ended
March 31, 2005, and each of the three quarters in the periods ending September
30, 2004, September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, and concluded that such
previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon. The requirement was requested by the
Securities and Exchange Commission in their comment letter dated April 17,
2003.
In
order to address comments from the staff (the Staff) of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with the Staffs review of the
Companys periodic filings, the Officers concluded that the Company should make
these necessary restatements.
The
financial statements were changed in response to the comment from the SEC to
file the Companys financials as a Development Stage Company from the period
beginning November 24, 1998 to December 31, 2004.
There
were certain transactions that were entered into in fiscal years 2001 through
2004 that were accounted for improperly. The transactions involved the beneficial
conversion features accompanying the issuance of the convertible notes, as well
as additional shares issued in connection with the convertible notes as
discounts and inducements to convert.
In
addition, there were a number of transactions involving the day to day
operations of the Company that were accounted for improperly. These
included the recognition of deferred and accrued expenses, the recording of
loans to and from the Company and the recording of the patent related costs and
other capitalized expenses.
The
Company has filed an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and will file amended Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and amended Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, and each of the
three quarters in the periods ending September 30, 2004, September 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2002 with the SEC which will include the restated financial
statements including related disclosures.
On
June 17, 2005, the Companys Officers discussed with Demetrius & Company,
L.L.C., the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, the
matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

99.1 Press Release dated April 18, 2006
ANNUAL REPORT FURTHER DELAYED
MINEOLA, N.Y., April 18, 2006
Kenilworth Systems Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: KENS)
..Kenilworth
Systems Corporation (Kenilworth) in an 8-K filing today reported that the
Companys Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2005, after
having filed an extension until April 17, 2006, will be further delayed
for approximately two (2) weeks.
Herbert Lindo, Chairman and CEO stated the delay is
caused by the extensive expenses incurred in continuing negotiations taking
place in the Philippines with a Philippine government authorized agency, the
acquisition of Lighthouse Supply and Services, Inc. in the Philippines,
all of which require Independent Auditors confirmation and the lack of
qualified staff personnel that left the Company in November 2005, which
have not as yet been replaced.
As previously reported, the Company sustained a loss
of $3,267,912 for the nine (9) month period ended September 30, 2005
which included a non-operating loss of $1,250,000. The Company expects these
losses will continue until its Roulabette® System becomes acceptable to the
worldwide Casino and Lottery Industry.
Roulabette® is the
brand name, coined by the Company, for a method and system for placing wagers
on live, in-progress casino table games broadcast to digital satellite and
digital cable subscribers, such as Roulette, Dice, Baccarat and more, at sites
remote from the actual casino table at which the game is taking place.
With the patented Roulabette® System, the actual
wagering takes place at the receiving television set managed by the
microprocessor installed in the set-top boxes (both cable and satellite) or as
an attachment to the TV set. The wagering is not managed by the casino that
broadcasts Roulabette®. It is a one-way transmission requiring only the consent
of the receiving jurisdictions. The Roulabette® casino is next door, doesnt
have the costly bricks and mortar, and can be managed to prevent the under aged
from participating and shut out the compulsive gamblers by using lotteries to
manage the cash handlings.

ITEM 5.01 OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATIONS:
Herbert Lindo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
today exercised his Incentive Stock Options granted on November 27, 2001 and
acquired five million (5,000,000) shares at the exercise price of $0.15 per
share.
Mr. Lindo borrowed the $750,000 to exercise the
Options from the Company, as provided in the Plan and pledged the shares as
security for the loan.
Mr. Lindo stated that he exercised the Option to
provide additional working capital of $750,000 for the Company, when he is able
to sell the shares in expected private transactions, most likely to obtain
substantially larger investments into the Company, at more acceptable per share
prices than the present market price of Kenilworth shares at $0.035 per share.

To the Board of Directors
of
Kenilworth Systems Corporation:
Effective February
5, 2007 the Company engaged KGS, LLP. as its independent Certified Public
Accountants to Audit the Companys financials for the years ended December 31,
2005 and 2006.
The Company has
completed the financials but the Audit is not, as yet, completed. After filing an automatic extension on March
27, 2007, we feel obligated to our shareholders to file the 2005/2006
Financials absent of the Auditors Opinion.
When the Audit is
completed, which we expect to be within thirty (30) days, the Company will file
a FORM 10K/A, explicitly pointing out any significant changes in our unaudited
financials, if any, for ease of review.
Respectfully submitted,
Herbert Lindo, Chairman and CEO
April 25, 2007
The Independent
Auditors Report will appear on this page when the Company will file the
Amended FORM 10-K/A

KENILWORTH
SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
- THE COMPANY AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Kenilworth Systems
Corporation (the Company) was incorporated in New York in April 1968 and
is currently engaged in the development and eventual by outsourcing the
manufacture the terminals that will permit individuals to play along with live
in-progress casino table games at locations outside the casino confines (remote
locations). Games will be available via TV simulcast of digital satellite
and digital cable broadcasts to individuals at homes and offices and wherever
television sets are located around the world. The Companys business
remains in continuous development stage although it completed a nine million
dollar ($9,000,000) contract with the Totalizator Agency Board (TAB), a state
government agency of Victoria, Australia, while being in voluntary bankruptcy
reorganization under Chapter 11, of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Successful execution of its business plan is dependent up such factors as: the
ability to raise substantial capital and assemble a skilled and experienced
management team, obtaining regulatory approval from gaming authorities and
other governmental bodies, customer acceptance of a new experience in casino
gaming, and technological feasibility.
These challenges
create uncertainty as to the Companys ability to operate as a going concern
and could result in the termination of its business. Management continues
to develop a wagering system that allows casino patrons and individuals outside
the casino to play and wager along with live casino table games. The first step
in the plan is to conduct testing. Unless the Company is able to obtain
sufficient funds, none of the tests and initial development work can commence.
The Company will attempt to obtain the necessary funding by offering its Common
Stock or Preferred Stock to private investors.
If initial testing
is successful, the second step is to obtain, if required, the appropriate
licenses from gaming control regulators in the various venues the Company
intends to offer its system. Upon successful testing, the Company intends to
seek financing from banking sources for the manufacture of a microprocessor
that will be installed in digital set top boxes and digital cable boxes, when
necessary. These appliances will then be able to convert an ordinary
television set into a computer terminal using the TV set as the monitor for
remote casino game play and wagering. This technology is protected by the
Companys recently issued patents (see Note 6).
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company is a going concern
and do not reflect adjustments, if any that would be necessary if the Company
were not a going concern.
NOTE 2
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of
consolidation
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Kenilworth Systems Corporation and
its wholly owned subsidiaries: Video Wagering Systems Corporation, Roulabette
Nevada Corporation, Kenilworth Systems Nevada Corporation, Kenilworth U.K.
Ltd., Kenilworth Satellite Broadcasting Corporation and Satellite Gaming
Consultants, Inc., both Delaware Corporations. None of the subsidiaries has any

Use of estimates
Management uses

with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and
expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

KENILWORTH
SYSTEMS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were cash
equivalents at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Property and
equipment
Property and
equipment are stated at cost. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from five to seven years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the assets
useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.
Impairment of
long-lived Assets
The Company
regularly reviews long-lived assets for indicators of impairment.
Managements judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are
based on performance. Future events could cause management to conclude
that impairment indicators exist and that the value of long-lived assets is
impaired. When events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable, the fair value of the asset is compared to
its carrying value. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which
the carrying value of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs
are expensed as incurred. There were no advertising costs for any period
presented.
Income taxes
Income taxes are
accounted for under the asset and liability method specified by SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax
credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Fair value of
financial instruments
Financial
instruments reported in the balance sheet consist of accounts payable and loans
payable, the carrying value of which approximated fair value at
December 31, 2006 and 2005. The fair value of the financial
instruments disclosed are not necessarily representative of the amount that
could be realized or settled nor does the fair value amount consider the tax
consequences of realization or settlement.
Stock-based
compensation
The Company has
adopted SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation which
requires it to recognize stock awards granted to employees and non-employees as
compensation expense based on the fair market value of the stock award or fair
market value of the goods or services received, whichever is more reliably
measurable.

Loss per share
Basic loss per
share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is
calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding, plus the weighted average number of net shares that would be
issued upon the exercise or conversion of dilutive securities, such as stock
options and warrants, and convertible debt. There were no dilutive
securities outstanding as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
Accordingly, diluted loss per share for 2006, 2005 and 2004 is the same as
basic loss per share.
New Authoritative
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does
not anticipate the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will
have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or
cash flows.
NOTE 3
- BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
Throughout the
1980s the Company experienced working capital shortages that resulted in the
Company filing a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States bankruptcy Code. From August 28, 1982 to June 7, 1985
the Company operated during reorganization proceedings. On June 7, 1985, a
United States Bankruptcy Judge confirmed the Companys Plan of Reorganization.
On April 27, 1988, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree in the
case. On October 27, 1988, the case was re-opened on grounds the Debtor
failed to consummate its plan of reorganization and on February 25, 1991
the case was converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. By
order of the Court dated June 19, 1991 the Chapter 7 was reconverted to a
case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. A second plan of reorganization
was approved and a second order of confirmation was entered in connection with
the Chapter 11 case on October 2, 1991. However, the Debtor was unable to
consummate its second plan of reorganization, and by order dated
November 25, 1991, the case was reconverted to a case under Chapter 7 of
the Bankruptcy Code.
From
February 1991 through September 1998, the Company was inactive. In
September 1998 a United States Bankruptcy Judge in the Eastern District of
New York approved the Final Report and Accounts submitted by the Chapter 7
Trustee of the Estate of Kenilworth and after obtaining approval from the U.S.
Trustee, Kenilworth made a one hundred percent (100%) cash distribution to the
creditors and paid in full all administrative fees and expenses. The Company
exited from Bankruptcy on September 28 1998 with no assets and no
liabilities. For the period September 29, 1998 through November 23,
1998 the Company was in the process of monitoring the payments by check to the
creditors. No other activity occurred during that period. Effective,
November 24, 1998, the Company commenced its present plans.
NOTE 4
- PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses
consist of the unamortized value of stock issued to directors for the
twelve-month service period ending September 30, 2007. The balance
will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term.

into a total of 20,356,000, 15,525,000 and 13,740,000 common shares,
respectively. The issuance of the Notes gave rise to a beneficial
conversion feature (BCF) in the amount of: none in 2006, $368,640 in 2005 and
$188,191 in 2004, reflecting the benefit of conversion prices that were below

The difference
between the U. S. federal tax rate and the Companys effective tax rate in
2004, 2003 and 2002 is due primarily to changes in the valuation allowance
related to the net deferred tax asset, offset by certain nondeductible
expenses.
The major sources of
temporary differences and their deferred tax effect are as follows:

The benefits of
net operating losses will not be recognized until management determines that
realization is more likely than not to occur. Accordingly, management has
established a valuation allowance to offset the tax benefits of net operating
losses for all periods presented. At December 31, 2006, the Company
had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $20,000,000, expiring
through 2024. Utilization of NOL carry-forwards may be limited under various
sections of the Internal Revenue Code depending on the nature of the Companys
operations.

the entire board. All employees, directors and non-employee consultants
are eligible to receive grants under the Plan. ISOs may not be granted to
any owner of 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company, unless
the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the grant date and the option term does not exceed five years.
In August 2001,
administrators of the Plan granted 5,000,000 NQSOs to Herbert Lindo, the
Companys President, and 500,000 NQSOs to Maureen Plovnick, an employee.
The options have a five-year term, an exercise price of $.15 per share and
immediate vesting. There have been no other Plan transactions since these
grants. Mr. Lindo exercised his
5,000,000 share option on November 27, 2006.
A remaining option for 500,000 shares expired. No new options have been granted.
NOTE 14
- RESTATEMENT
There were certain
transactions that were entered into in fiscal years 2001 through 2004 that were
accounted for improperly. The transactions involved the beneficial
conversion features accompanying the issuance of the convertible notes, as well
as additional shares issued in connection with the convertible notes as
discounts and inducements to convert.
In addition, there
were a number of transactions involving the day to day operations of the
Company that were accounted for improperly. These included the
recognition of deferred and accrued expenses, the recording of loans to and
from the Company and the recording of the patent related costs and other
capitalized expenses.

PRIOR CONVICTION
OF HERBERT LINDO
Herbert Lindo, the
Chairman and CEO of Kenilworth, was convicted in 1993 on three (3) counts
of having permitted three (3) banks located in the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan to sell unregistered, legended, restricted Kenilworth shares pursuant
to SEC Rule 144 prior to the bank having the then required two
(2) year holding period. The sales took place in 1987 and 1988.
Mr. Lindo was found not guilty of conspiring to sell unregistered
securities which was not met, pursuant to SEC Rule 144. The Securities and
Exchange Commission did not enter into the case. The indictments were brought
by the U.S. Attorney of the Western District of Michigan. Mr. Lindo was
sentenced to one thousand (1,000) hours of community service, fifteen (15)
months house arrest, and fined six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000).
In 1992, the
holding period for exemption pursuant to Rule 144 was reduced to one
(1) year. The changed Rule did not apply to the 1987-88 sales. No one
lost any money and Kenilworth had received fair value for the pledged
securities. The government never charged Mr. Lindo with fraud.
Mr. Lindo claimed he had no knowledge of the sales by the banks.
Because of this
conviction, Herbert Lindo is likely not to be found suitable by any Casino
Control Commission or other regulatory body to hold licenses. When the time to
apply for licensing Roulabette arrives, Mr. Lindo will resign totally
from Kenilworth and place his Kenilworth shares into a voting trust. Until that
time, Herbert Lindo believes that he is best suited to manage the post
bankruptcy reorganization and to transform Kenilworth into a viable business.
