Business Summary
American Vantage Companies had been engaged in providing gaming consulting services to Table Mountain Casino & Bingo, a tribal gaming enterprise on a Federal Indian Rancheria in Friant, California (the Table Mountain Casino) until May 1999 when its contract to provide consulting services to the Table Mountain Casino was prematurely terminated by the Table Mountain Band of Indians (the Table Mountain Tribe). The Company presently intends to sell certain of its principal assets in order to provide cash resources sufficient to acquire, merge into or make an investment in an existing business or businesses. The Company is currently reviewing opportunities in order to maximize its resources.
