Management has referred us to the following excerpt from the 10-Q Report:

A new Minister of Tourism, His Excellency Ahmed Al-Mahrizi, was appointed on March 1, 2012. In mid-May Omagine LLC received a letter from His Excellency Ahmed Al-Mahrizi (the “Minister’s Letter”) requesting Omagine LLC to provide certain information to MOT. The Minister’s Letter, which requested documentation on four items, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5.

Representatives of the shareholders of Omagine LLC (the Company, Royal Court Affairs, and Consolidated Contractors) met on July 1, 2012 for several hours with His Excellency Ahmed Al-Mahrizi and a lawyer for MOT.

Having been recently appointed in March 2012, the Minister, reasonably enough, was not completely familiar with the concept and scope of the Omagine Project and requested that we update him on the project. The Omagine LLC shareholders described the project in detail and showed His Excellency a video presentation of the project, several drawings, sketches, architectural renderings, site plans and the overall conceptual master plan. A detailed discussion of the genesis and background of the project including the history of our prior negotiations with the MOT then ensued. The Minister was quite pleased with the description and discussion as he was unaware of many of the details until our meeting.

We then presented to His Excellency our written response to the Minister’s Letter along with attachments containing the requested information – including, among other things, six “comfort letters” in support of the Omagine Project from some of the largest banks in the Mena Region – including three banks in Oman. A detailed, open, frank and friendly discussion was then held regarding the Minister’s Letter, our response thereto and the Development Agreement. The Minister was especially pleased to learn that certain matters about which he had concerns as well as all of the matters detailed in the Minister’s Letter were already covered and agreed in the Final DA.

The MOT lawyer in attendance mentioned that we (Omagine) had not yet responded to a list of Ministry of Legal Affairs (“MOLA”) comments sent to us by MOT in early 2011. This was incorrect since, as previously disclosed, we had delivered our response to such MOLA comments by Federal Express to MOT on March 14, 2011. We explained to the Minister and the MOT lawyer that our response to such MOLA comments was indeed delivered to MOT and that such MOLA comments and our responses thereto were subsequently approved by MOT and incorporated into the agreed DA. The Minister was pleased to learn this and asked that we send a copy of our response to the MOLA comments along with a copy of the agreed DA to Her Excellency Maitha Al Mahrouqi, the Under-Secretary of Tourism, to whom he has specifically assigned responsibility for the Omagine Project.

The meeting concluded with the Minister confirming that he is in agreement with and enthusiastic about the development of the Omagine Project. He also stated that he was entirely satisfied with our project presentation, that he agreed it will be a wonderful project for Oman, that he was completely satisfied with our response to his May 9th Minister’s Letter and that he is agreeable to sign the DA as soon as possible.

His Excellency Al Mehrzi stated: "Her Excellency Maitha is on leave for the next 2 weeks but on her return, please get the paperwork organized with her and I am ready to sign the DA during Ramadan".

All of the Omagine attendees at the meeting unanimously agreed that the meeting results were excellent and all agreed that His Excellency Ahmad Al Mehrzi is very clearly a talented, intelligent, direct, and very personable man who wants to get things done.

In a prior communication during June, Her Excellency Maitha Al Mahrouqi indicated to us that she would return to work on July 26, 2012. A copy of our March 14, 2011 response to the MOLA comments was sent to Her Excellency Maitha’s office on July 7, 2012 along with a request for a meeting to discuss the Final DA. We expect to hear from Her Excellency toward the end of July regarding the date for such meeting.

The Holy Month of Ramadan extends from approximately July 20 to August 20 and is immediately followed by the EID holiday celebration (which in Oman is expected to extend through August 31). Her Excellency Maitha returns on July 26. It is management’s expectation that while we may sign the DA in August, given the occurrence of Ramadan and the EID holiday, the DA signing could be postponed into September or even October 2012. Management is optimistic that the Government will soon memorialize its agreement to the Final DA in a signed written document.

Notwithstanding the foregoing however, we nevertheless caution investors that we are unable at this time to give any assurances whatsoever that the DA will actually be concluded or signed by the parties until the parties actually sign the DA. Indeed, past experience indicates that caution should be exercised in making any such assumptions until the DA is actually signed by the parties.

Regards,

AGORACOM
