PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Scores Holding Company, Inc. (“Scores,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Utah on September 21, 1981 under the name Internet Energy, Inc. Since 2003, we have been in the business of licensing the “Scores” trademarks and other intellectual property to gentlemen’s nightclubs with adult entertainment in the United States. These clubs feature topless female entertainers together with opportunities for watching sporting events and corporate and private parties. There are five such clubs currently operating under the Scores name, in New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Tampa and New Orleans.

Our trademarks and copyrights surrounding the Scores trade name are critical to the success and potential growth of our business. Our trademarks are held by our wholly owned subsidiary, Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”).

History and Development of our Business

On March 31, 2003, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master License Agreement (the “MLA”) by and between us and our former affiliate, Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("EMS"), an entity owned by two of our former directors and employees, we granted EMS an exclusive, worldwide renewable 20 year license in our property to sublicense the Scores trade name to nightclubs (the “Licensing Rights”). Under the MLA, EMS was required to pay us 100% of the royalties EMS received from the formerly affiliated clubs (defined below) and 50% of the royalties received from non-affiliated clubs (the “Royalty Rights”). These clubs had license agreements with EMS pursuant to which they typically paid EMS approximately 4.99% of their gross revenues from operations, including the sale of merchandise. We depended on these royalties to operate our business and as our principal source of revenue.

On January 27, 2009, (as further discussed below), we terminated the MLA with EMS and EMS transferred to us all of the Licensing Rights and Royalty Rights. Since termination of the MLA, our property is licensed directly by us to the three remaining clubs that previously had been sublicensing our property from EMS, and, thus, as of January 27, 2009, we are receiving 100% of the royalty payments made by these clubs rather than the 50% we were entitled to under the MLA.

Until January 27, 2009, we were under common control with two previously existing nightclubs in New York, New York (“Scores East” and “Scores West”) which were owned, respectively, by 333 East 60^th Street, Inc. (“333”), and Go West Entertainment, Inc. (“Go West”). EMS is also owned by 333. Through EMS, we had sublicense agreements with each of Scores East and Scores West pursuant to which they were entitled to use the Scores intellectual property. (Throughout this report, we refer to Scores East and Scores West as our “formerly affiliated clubs.” All other clubs with the exception of our newly opened club in New York, Scores New York (see discussion below), are referred to as non-affiliated clubs or as licensees (or sublicensees, as applicable), a term that may include the formerly affiliated clubs when the context requires.)

On January 27, 2009, Mitchell’s East LLC, wholly owned by Robert M. Gans, acquired a majority interest in our outstanding capital stock.  Mr. Gans is the majority owner of I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”).  IMO has a licensing agreement with us and has commenced operations in New York, New York under the club name Scores New York. (Throughout this report, we refer to Scores New York as our “affiliated club”).

Change in our Ownership

On January 27, 2009, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”), Mitchell’s East LLC (“Buyer”), a New York limited liability company wholly owned by Robert M. Gans, purchased an aggregate of 88,900,230 shares (the “Owned Shares”) of our common stock beneficially owned by Richard Goldring and Elliot Osher (collectively the “Share Sellers”), as well as any rights Harvey Osher (the Share Sellers and Harvey Osher, together, the “Sellers”) may have in 13,886,059 shares of our common stock (the “Decedent Owned Shares”) currently held of record by the estate of William Osher, deceased, and any rights the Sellers may have in an additional 2,400,001 shares of our common stock (the “Expectancy Shares”).  Under the terms of the SPA, Harvey Osher is to deliver to the Buyer the Decedent Owned Shares that he may receive and the Sellers are to deliver to the Buyer any shares of the Company underlying the Expectancy Shares that any such Seller may receive.  Additionally, pursuant to the SPA, each of the Sellers granted to Buyer an irrevocable proxy enabling Buyer to act as his proxy with respect to any shares underlying the Decedent Owned Shares and the Expectancy Shares, as applicable.

The Owned Shares represent approximately fifty four percent (54%) of our outstanding capital stock and the Owned Shares together with the Decedent Owned Shares represent approximately sixty two percent (62%) of our outstanding capital stock.

Changes in our Management

On August 6, 2010, we appointed Robert M. Gans as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our Board of Directors. Robert Gans and Martin Gans, one of our existing Board members, are brothers. Also on August 6, 2010, we appointed Howard Rosenbluth as our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Rosenbluth is also a director.

Nightclubs Currently Licensing our Scores Brand

In 2003, EMS licensed the use of the "Scores Chicago" name to Stone Park Entertainment, Inc. for its club in Chicago, Illinois. Royalties payable to EMS under this license are the greater of $2,500 per week or 4.99% of the the Chicago club’s gross revenues (less $25,000 per week) earned at that location. The Chicago club accounted for 18% and 21% of our total royalty revenues during 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In 2004, EMS licensed the use of "Scores Baltimore" to Club 2000 Eastern Avenue, Inc. for its nightclub in Baltimore, Maryland. Royalties payable to EMS under this license are the greater of $1,000 per week or 4.99% of gross revenues. The Baltimore club accounted for 23% and 26% of our total royalty revenues in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In April 2007, EMS licensed the use of the Scores brand name to Silver Bourbon, Inc. for a night club in New Orleans, Louisiana “Score New Orleans”. Royalties payable under this license are capped at the greater of $4,000 per month or 4.99% of gross revenues. The New Orleans club accounted for 9% and 12% of our total royalty revenues during each of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Assignment Agreement between us and EMS dated January 27, 2009, terminated the MLA and, since that date, we have retained 100% of the royalty payments received from each of these three clubs. This percentage includes the 50% which was previously retained by EMS under the MLA.

On January 27, 2009, we entered into a licensing agreement with IMO for the use of the Scores brand name “Scores New York.” IMO is owned in the majority by Robert M. Gans who is also our majority shareholder. The address where IMO’s new club is located is the same address as that of the former Scores West nightclub, 533-535 West 27th Street, New York, NY (the “West 27^th Street Building”). Royalties payable to us under this license agreement have been set at 3% of gross revenues of Scores New York. Scores New York commenced operations in May 2009 and has accounted for 29% of our total royalty revenue during 2011 and 30% of our total royalty revenue during 2010. The West 27^th Street Building is owned by Westside Realty of New York (“WSR”). Robert M. Gans is the majority owner of WSR.

On September 30, 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement with Tampa Food & Entertainment, Inc.  Upon signing the contract, we received a non-refundable fee.  For the next twelve months we will receive a flat fee of per month with an advance payment to be made at the signing of the contract.  After the first twelve months, royalties payable to us under this license will be capped at the greater of a certain dollar amount per month or a percentage of net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded $72,000 in revenue from this club while for the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded $43,000 in revenue from this club.

Scoreslive.com

On January 24, 2006, we entered into a licensing agreement with AYA International, Inc. (“AYA”) granting AYA the right to use our trademarks in connection with its online video chat website, “Scoreslive.com.” EMS was not a party to this license agreement. Our agreement with AYA provides for royalty payments to be made directly to us at the rate of 4.99% of weekly gross revenues from all revenue sources within the AYA website. The license continues for as long as the website is operational. Scoreslive.com piloted in January 2007. Because the Scoreslive.com website is still in the development stage, it has accounted for none of our total royalty revenues from inception through December 31, 2011. On December 21, 2009, AYA transferred all of its rights in Scoreslive.com and in its licensing agreement with us to Swan Media Group, Inc. (“SMG”), a newly formed New York corporation whose majority owner is Robert M. Gans.

Burhill LLC

On August 5, 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Burhill LLC (the “Licensee”) pursuant to which the Licensee will license the Scores trademarks and create, distribute, advertise and promote programming content in all forms of media using the Scores trademarks and conducting business under the name “Scores.”  The Licensee has agreed to pay us a non-refundable royalty equal to five percent (5%) of the revenues of the Licensee earned in connection with the Licensee’s use of the Scores trademarks, net of actual local sales taxes paid and including any and all licensing fees charged to third parties for the use of the programming content owned and/or distributed by the Licensee.  The Licensee is wholly owned by Robert M. Gans, our President and Chief Executive Officer and owner of Mitchell’s East LLC, our majority stockholder. This arrangement with Burhill LLC was terminated in July 2011.

Competition

The adult nightclub entertainment business is highly competitive with respect to price, service, location and professionalism of its entertainment. Sublicensed clubs will compete with many locally-owned adult nightclubs. It is our belief, however, that only a few of these nightclubs have names that enjoy recognition and status equal to the Scores brand. For example, there are approximately twenty five (25) adult entertainment cabaret night clubs within the five boroughs of New York City; approximately six upscale located in the borough of Manhattan. We believe only three (Ricks Cabaret, Hustler and Penthouse) provide the most competitive adult entertainment experience to that of our brand and our New York affiliate. Other localities where our “Scores” brand is licensed have similar competitive environments. Penthouse is a related party competitor due to the common control and ownership by our President and Chief Executive Officer.

We believe the combination of our name recognition and our distinctive entertainment environment allows our licensees to effectively compete within the industry, although we cannot assure anyone that this will prove to be the case. The success of our licensees depends upon their ability to retain quality entertainers, employees and to provide customer service to their customers. The inability to sustain quality entertainers, employees and customer service could have a material or adverse impact on the ability of our licensees to compete within the industry.

Competition among online adult entertainment providers is intense in respect to both content and subscribers’ capital. SMG’s competition for its Scoreslive.com internet site varies in both the type and quality of offerings, but consists primarily of other premium pay services. The availability of, and price pressure from, more explicit content on the Internet, frequently offered for free, also presents a significant competitive challenge to SMG. The Internet is highly competitive, and Scoreslive.com will compete for visitors, subscribers, shoppers and advertisers. We believe that the primary competitive factors affecting SMG’s Internet operations include brand recognition, the quality of content and products, pricing, ease of use and sales and marketing efforts. We believe that SMG and Scoreslive.com have the advantage of leveraging the power of our Scores brand across multiple media platforms.

Employees

At the present time, we have two (2) employees, who are not covered by any collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relationship with our current employees is satisfactory.

Government Regulation

Our licensees are subject to a variety of governmental regulations depending upon the laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The most significant governmental regulations are described below.

Liquor Licenses

Our licensees are subject to state and local licensing regulation of the sale of alcoholic beverages. We expect licensees to obtain and maintain appropriate licenses allowing them to sell liquor, beer and wine. Obtaining a liquor license may be a time consuming procedure. In New York, for example, a licensee must make an application to the New York State Liquor Authority (the “NYSLA”) for a liquor license regarding its proposed nightclub. The NYSLA has the authority, in its discretion, to issue or deny such a license request. The NYSLA typically requires local community board approval in connection with such grants. Approval is usually granted or denied within 90-120 days from the initial application date, but can take longer in certain circumstances. Other jurisdictions have their own procedures.

We cannot offer any assurance that our licensees will obtain liquor licenses or that, once obtained, they will maintain their liquor licenses or be able to assign or transfer them if necessary. A license to sell alcoholic beverages in many cases requires annual renewal and may be revoked or suspended for cause, including any regulatory violation by the nightclub operating the license or its employees. Royalties for our business could decrease, if one or more of our licensees fails to maintain its liquor license.

"Cabaret" Licenses

Although not a requirement, our licensees typically request a cabaret license in connection with the operation of their nightclubs. Cabaret licenses are not a requirement in all states; however, some states mandate that such licenses be obtained prior to the operation of an adult nightclub. For example, one of our formerly affiliated licensees was granted a cabaret license for a nightclub by the City of New York’s’ Department of Consumer Affairs (the "DCA"). We believe our licensees comply with all regulatory laws regarding cabaret or an adult entertainment license; however, there is no assurance that any of their licenses will remain effective or that they could be assigned or transferred if necessary. If one or more of our licensees failed to maintain a required license, this could have a material or adverse effect on our cash flow and profitability.

Zoning Restrictions

Adult entertainment establishments must comply with local zoning restrictions which can be stringent. For example, zoning regulations in the City of New York mandate that an adult entertainment business operates in an area zoned as residential, or in areas that are commercially zoned, and devotes more than either 40% or more of its space available to customers or 10,000 square feet for adult entertainment activities. Although we expect our licensees to operate within "zoned" areas, we cannot make any assurances that local zoning regulations will remain constant, or that if changed, our licensees will be able to continue operations under our Scores brand name trademark. If zoning regulations were to restrict the operations of one or more of our licensees, this could have a material or adverse effect on our cash flow and profitability.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide disclosure under this Item 1A.

ITEM 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of July 1, 2008, WSR, the owner of the West 27^th Street Building, became the new lessor of our 700 square feet office occupancy at that location. On April 1, 2009, the monthly rent, which includes overhead cost, was reduced from $5,000 to $2,500.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 22, 2010, Russell Whelchel, and on March 16, 2011, Charles Braden, who performed work as hair and makeup stylists at the Scores New York nightclub located at 536 West 28^th Street, New York, NY, each filed a civil lawsuit against us in the S.D.N.Y. seeking to recover under federal and New York labor laws minimum wages, unlawful deductions, misappropriated gratuities and other wages, with interest, for the period of their “employment” with Scores New York. Joseph Bovine filed a similar action against us in November 2011. Although we disputed that we were an employer of the plaintiffs and denied all allegations, we settled these matters pursuant to a settlement and release agreement dated February 21, 2012. These matters were settled out of court.

In mid-March 2010, we were named by Nichole Hughes in a complaint filed with the SCNY. Ms. Hughes is suing us for an unspecified amount of damages in connection with an alleged unauthorized use of her image in our advertising materials. On June 20, 2010, we filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss the complaint, which was denied on December 17, 2010. We then filed an answer and affirmative defenses and a third party complaint against IMO, owner and operator of the club where Ms. Hughes was employed. Plaintiff’s counsel has moved to be relieved and, once that motion is settled, we expect to file for summary judgment. We will vigorously defend ourselves in this litigation and do not expect that the outcome will be material.

On September 5, 2008, Ruth Fowler, a former cocktail waitress at Scores West, filed a civil lawsuit against us in the S.D.N.Y. The plaintiff is seeking to recover damages for alleged illegal deductions take from her salary and monies due her and for sexual harassment under the New York City and New York State Human Rights Laws. On May 7, 2009, we filed a motion to dismiss the action against us but that motion was denied by the S.D.N.Y. with possible leave to renew the motion at a future date after the completion of discovery proceedings. In the meanwhile, counsel for plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 26, 2010 to add as additional parties to the action Go West and EMS. On March 1, 2010, we filed affirmative defenses and an amended response asserting cross-claims for judgment against both Go West and EMS. On September 13, 2010, the SDNY denied plaintiff’s application for further discovery and on October 18, 2010, we filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted in July 2011.

In early March 2008, we received notice that DIF&B, owner of the Las Vegas club, would be canceling its sublicense with EMS effective on or before May 6, 2008. We were notified that DIF&B would be making final royalty payments to EMS totaling $60,000 at the rate of $10,000 per week starting the first week of March 2008. The Las Vegas club ceased operating and, as of December 31, 2008, EMS had received only one such $10,000 payment from DIF&B. EMS commenced an action against DIF&B and filed a complaint and affidavit of service with the SCNY, on July 23, 2008. DIF&B was required to file an answer by August 23, 2008, but did not do so. As a result, EMS filed an application for a default judgment and the SCNY appointed a referee to determine damages. The referee determined that damages in the amount of $216,000, with interest, should be paid to EMS and a default judgment totaling $230,557 was entered by the Clerk of the SCNY. We will attempt to collect on this judgment. We will be entitled to all monies so collected, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement with EMS and 333.

On December 11, 2007, Francis Vargas, a former cocktail waitress at Scores West located in New York, NY, filed a civil lawsuit against us and Go West in the SCNY, alleging violations of the New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York City Administrative Code, based upon allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The lawsuit further alleges that at all material times both we and Go West were employers of Ms. Vargas, the plaintiff. The law suit seeks unspecified compensatory damages for plaintiff’s alleged loss of past and future earnings and benefits, emotional distress, humiliation and loss of reputation. We dispute that we were an employer of the plaintiff and categorically deny all allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. We filed our verified answer in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on February 12, 2008 to contest and defend against these accusations and we are currently engaged in discovery. On April 18, 2008, co-defendant Go West filed for bankruptcy and the case was stayed. On July 23, 2009, the bankruptcy petition was dismissed and, as a result, the automatic stay was lifted. We subsequently filed an amended response asserting cross-claims for judgment against both Go West and EMS. We then filed a motion for summary judgment which was denied and we have now filed a notice of appeal. We will vigorously defend ourselves in this litigation and do not expect that the outcome will be material.

On March 30, 2007, we, along with several of our affiliates, were named in a suit in connection with an alleged assault by an employee of an affiliate and one of our stockholders and former officer and director. We have answered a third amended complaint and completed discovery. This matter was settled for $8,500 on February 28, 2012 in Kings County Supreme Court.

On March 31, 2006, Richard K. Goldring, our former president, chief executive officer and principal shareholder pled guilty to one count of offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree pursuant to a plea agreement with the District Attorney of the County of New York (the "DA"). In the event that within one year of the date of the entry of the guilty plea, Mr. Goldring resigns from all "control management positions" that he holds in publicly traded companies, including ours, and divests himself of all "control ownership positions" in publicly traded companies, including ours, and satisfies certain other conditions, the DA will recommend a sentence of probation. In this context, a “control management position” is a role, official or unofficial, by which he substantially directs the decisions of a company, and a “control ownership position” is a position in which he controls, directly or indirectly more than 9% of the voting stock or other securities of a company, or stock or securities that have the capability of being converted into voting stock or other securities of a company. The plea agreement resolved the DA's investigation against Mr. Goldring and us. No charges were brought against us.

To comply with the plea agreement between Richard Goldring and the District Attorney of the County of New York, on September 4, 2008, Mr. Goldring transferred his 76,080,958 shares of our common stock (the “Goldring Shares”) to Ira Altchek as trustee (the “Trustee”). According to the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement by and between Mr. Goldring and the Trustee dated September 4, 2008, the Trustee had the right to exercise all rights and powers of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Goldring Shares, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive right to vote the Goldring Shares, while Mr. Goldring maintained the right to sell the Goldring Shares at any time. The Goldring Shares represented approximately forty six percent (46%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Company as of the December 31, 2008. On January 27, 2009, Mr. Goldring sold all of the Goldring Shares in a private transaction with Buyer, as further discussed above.

There are no other material legal proceedings pending to which we or any of our property are subject, nor to our knowledge are any such proceedings threatened.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not applicable 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations:

For the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 period”) compared to the year ended December 21, 2010 (the “2010 period”).

Revenues:

Revenues increased to $629,251 for the 2011 period from $514,155 for the 2010 period. This increase was primarily due to the following factors; In September 2010, our newly established Tampa club commenced operations and revenues from this club amounted to $72,000 during the 2011 period and $43,000 during the 2010 period. Our operations are dependent upon royalties from our New York affiliated club which, in 2011, represented 29% of our total revenue. We license our brand to innovative and experienced operators who help sustain our brand by providing quality service to customers. We believe the combination of the club services provided by our existing operators and the opening of our newly established Tampa club contributed to the increase in the 2011 and 2010 period revenues from our Chicago, Baltimore and New Orleans licensees. Revenues increased 5% to $112,168 in the 2011 period from $106,987 in the 2010 period for the Chicago club, 6% to $142,214 in the 2011 period from $133,751 in the 2010 period for the Baltimore club and 100% to $120,000 in the 2011 period from $60,000 in the 2010 period for the New Orleans club.

We recognize revenues as they are earned, not as they are collected.

Bad Debt Expense

As of December 31, 2011, our New Orleans licensees owed us $54,000 in accrued and unpaid royalties. During the 2011 period, management agreed to continue to reserve $14,000 owed by our New Orleans licensee.

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses for the 2011 period and the 2010 period were $889,248 and $1,165,503 respectively. These expenses were directly related to the maintenance of the corporate entity and regulatory filing of periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). To comply with the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley, we expect these regulatory costs to increase in future years. Virtually all or 24% of the decrease in operating expenses can be attributed to legal fees which decreased $141,803, largely attributed to the class action lawsuit initiated under the prior management of the Company (S.Diaz, et al. v. Scores Holding Company Inc.) and the recovery of $440,000 from prior ownership during the settlement of this case. Our business development and other executive administrative costs changed modestly during the 2011 period from the 2010 period, but is expected to increase in future periods due to expansion of our brand into emerging markets. Our current year amortization of the intangible assets of $88,725 will decrease next year to $ -0- as next year is the final year of such asset being amortized.

Provision for Income Taxes:

The provision for state income taxes relates primarily to average assets and capital which were not impacted by net operating losses.

Net Income (Loss) (per share):

Our net income for the 2011 year end was $183,627 or $.001 per share versus a net loss of $(651,348) or $(.004) per share for the 2010 year end. During the 2011 period, our $115,096 increase in revenues was offset by costs primarily by the settlement of the S.Diaz, et al. v. Scores Holding Company Inc. and ongoing legal costs aggregating to $387,306 and secondarily related to business development, regulatory report preparation and filing, salaries, legal, amortization and taxes, which approximated to $471,942. This material change from the 2010 period to the 2011 period is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the common shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2011, we had $8,930 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $23,748 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010.

On February 28, 2007, our then President, Chief Executive Officer, Director and majority stockholder, Richard Goldring resigned from each of his positions, and terminated his employment with us. Under the terms of his employment agreement dated March 31, 2003, we were obligated to pay Mr. Goldring a $1 million termination fee (the “Termination Fee”). Because of our lack of cash and other business related reasons, we did not pay Mr. Goldring the Termination Fee. On May 10, 2009 Mr. Goldring assigned his right, title and interest in and to the Termination Fee to Robert M. Gans. As further discussed below, we do not expect Mr. Gans to require from us payment of the Termination Fee.

We have incurred losses since the inception of our business. Since our inception, we have been dependent on funding from private lenders and investors to conduct operations. As of December 31, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,597,844). As of December 31, 2011, we had total current assets of $254,259 and total current liabilities of $628,511 or negative working capital of $(374,252). As of December 31, 2010, we had total current assets of $117,821 and total current liabilities of $824,714 or negative working capital of $(706,893). The increase in the amount of negative working capital has been primarily attributable to the increase in our related party activity and additional litigation related to our settlement case. During the 2011 period, the Company decreased its cash position due to additional litigation which was offset due to our increase in royalty revenue.

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity to fund our operations. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to meet our working needs and to continue to execute our business plan, build our operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or debt securities, or borrow funds from private or institutional lenders. Because of recent problems in the credit markets, steep stock market declines, financial institution failures and government bail-outs, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding as necessary, we may have to suspend our operations temporarily or cease operations entirely.

We will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of or investments in businesses, products and technologies that are complimentary to ours. These may require the use of cash, which would also require us to seek financing. We may sell equity or debt securities or seek credit facilities to fund acquisition-related or other business costs. Sales of equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our adult entertainment licensing business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure on contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are limited to those described below. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues for the 2011 period and the 2010 period were derived predominately from royalties. We apply judgment to ensure that the criteria for recognizing revenues are consistently applied and achieved for all recognized sales transactions.

Accounting for Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements we are required to estimate our income taxes. Professional judgment is required by management in estimating a provision for our deferred tax asset. Because the Company consistently incurred net losses in prior years, a valuation for the full deferred tax asset was recorded based on carry forwards of such net operating losses. This was due to the Company not demonstrating any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods we may need to adjust such valuation recorded.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management of Scores Holding Company, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of Robert M. Gans, our chief executive officer, and Howard Rosenbluth, our chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not sufficiently effective to ensure that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our acting chief executive officer and chief financial officer and secretary, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In particular, we concluded that internal control weaknesses in our accounting policies and procedures relating to our segregation of duties were material weaknesses.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework and the Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies both issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management has identified the following material weaknesses.

Based on this evaluation and the material weaknesses identified, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011 our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b) Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has identified what it believes are deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The deficiencies in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures resulted in failures to timely file periodic reports within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

The deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures included (i) lack of segregation of duties and (ii) lack of sufficient resources to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

The Company intends to take corrective action to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company pursuant to the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

PART III

ITEM 10. Directors, Executive Officers and CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

Executive Officers and Directors

The following table sets forth certain information, as of October 17, 2012, with respect to our directors and executive officers.

Directors serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders; until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified, or until their prior resignation or removal. Officers serve for such terms as determined by our Board of Directors. Each officer holds office until such officer’s successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until such officer’s earlier resignation or removal.

The following is a brief account of the business experience during the past five years or more of our directors and executive officer.

Robert M. Gans: For the past forty two years Robert M. Gans has owned and operated companies in the building materials business, as well as gentlemens' clubs, restaurants, and several commercial and residential real estate properties.  Mr. Gans has either been the President, Managing Member, or sole owner of all of the companies in which he has been involved. None of the companies was or is a public company. 

Martin Gans: Martin Gans has been retired since 2002.  Prior to his retirement, Mr. Gans held managerial positions with The Nassau County Board of Elections, from 1994 to 2002, and with the Metropolitan New York hospitals, from 1990 to 1994.  Mr. Gans has a MBA in Health Care Administration from George Washington University and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Hunter College. Mr. Gans served in the United States Army where he reached the rank of SP4.

Robert Gans and Martin Gans are brothers.

Howard Rosenbluth: Over the past five years, Mr. Rosenbluth has been an executive officer overseeing the financial operations for Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc., and The Executive Club LLC, a company operating in the Gentlemen’s' club industry.   Mr. Rosenbluth received an MBA in Finance in 1975 from the University of Connecticut and has owned a consulting firm, a manufacturing company and a restaurant and has worked in public accounting and consulting for more than 35 years.

Board of Directors

None of our directors receives any remuneration for acting as such. Directors may, however, be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees. No such committees have been established to date. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. Similarly, we do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. We have not implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board nominees to us, but expect to do so in the future.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership on Form 3, reports of changes in ownership on Form 4 and annual reports concerning their ownership on Form 5. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

To the best of our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, none of our directors failed to file a required report on Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5.

Director Independence

We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

Code of Ethics

Due to the scope of our current operations, as of December 31, 2011, we have not adopted a code of ethics for financial executives, which include our principal executive officer, Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions. Our decision to not adopt such a code of ethics results from our having only a limited number of officers and directors operating as management. We believe that as a result of the limited interaction which occurs having such a small management structure eliminates the current need for such a code. 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

The following table sets forth information concerning the total compensation paid or accrued by us during the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 to (i) all individuals that served as our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer or acted in similar capacities for us at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and (ii) all individuals that served as executive officers of ours at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that received annual compensation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 in excess of $100,000.

Summary Compensation Table

We have not issued any stock options or maintained any stock option or other incentive plans other than our 2010 Plan. (See “Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters – Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans” above.) We have no other plans in place and have never maintained any plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans.

Similarly, we have no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, that provide for payments to the named executive officers or any other persons following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of us or a change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

Compensation of Directors

None of our directors receives any compensation for serving as such, for serving on committees of the Board of Directors or for special assignments. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 there were no other arrangements between us and our directors that resulted in our making payments to any of our directors for any services provided to us by them as directors.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock known by us as of October 17, 2012 by

The percentages in the table have been calculated on the basis of treating as outstanding for a particular person, all shares of our common stock outstanding on such date and all shares of our common stock issuable to such holder in the event of exercise of outstanding options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges owned by such person at said date which are exercisable within 60 days of such date. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. The addresses for our executive officers and directors are c/o Scores Holding Company, Inc., 533-535 West 27^th Street, New York, NY 10001.

Changes in Control

Not Applicable.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

On August 6, 2010, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2010 Plan.  The 2010 Plan provides for the issuance of both non-statutory and incentive stock options and other awards to acquire up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock.  As of December 31, 2011, we had not issued any shares and there are no outstanding grants under the 2008 Plan.

item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Executive Offices

As of July 1, 2008, WSR, the owner of the West 27^th Street Building, became the new lessor of our 700 square feet office occupancy at that location. On April 1, 2009, the monthly rent, which includes overhead cost, was reduced from $5,000 to $2,500.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its directors in reference to the definition of “independent director” established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In doing so, the Board has reviewed all commercial and other relationships of each director in making its determination as to the independence of its directors. After such review, the Board has determined that none of our directors qualifies as independent under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Audit Fees.

The aggregate fees billed to us by our principal accountant for services rendered during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are set forth in the table below:

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice.

Inasmuch as we do not have an audit committee, our Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Section 10A(i) of the Exchange prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be “audit services” unless such services are pre-approved by the Board of Directors (in lieu of the audit committee) or unless the services meet certain de-minims standards.

All audit services were approved by our Board of Directors.

PART IV – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Scores Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scores Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Scores Holding Company, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Scores Holding Company, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2011. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1. Organization

Scores Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) is a Utah corporation, formed in September 1981 and is located in New York, NY. Formerly, Internet Advisory Corporation, the Company is a licensing company that exploits the “Scores” name and trademark for franchising and other licensing options.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Scores Licensing Corp.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - Going Concern

The Company has incurred cumulative losses totaling $(6,597,844) a working capital deficit of $(374,252) and a net operating income of $183,627 at December 31, 2011. Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to develop business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the continued licensing of the brand with its current and new operators and to take on operations in larger cities with greater demand for our product through acquisitions.  There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing, are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not increase its operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There are times when cash may exceed $250,000, the FDIC insured limit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair values, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company's financial instruments include licensee receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party payable.  The fair values of all financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values.

Licensee receivable and reserves

Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts had a balance of $14,000 and $14,000 for the December 31, 2011 and 2010 periods. In reviewing any delinquent royalty or note receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, financial distress and economic trends. From time to time, the Company may adjust its assumptions for anticipated changes in any of above or other factors expected to affect collectability.

Advertising Costs

The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. The advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are $0 and $31,846 respectively.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. The standard requires entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.

There were no stock options or warrants issued during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, hence we have recorded no compensation expense. If the Company were to issue equity rights for compensation, then the Company would recognize compensation expense under Topic 718 over the requisite service period using the Black-Scholes model for equity rights granted.

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenues from its license agreements on a straight line basis over the term of the license agreements. If a license agreement is terminated then the remaining unearned balance of the deferred revenues are recorded as earned if applicable. Revenue is recognized when earned, as products are completed and delivered or services are provided to customers.

Revenues earned under its royalty agreements are recorded as they are earned.

TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between 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 years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $6,280,000, which expire in the years 2018 through 2031. The related deferred tax asset of approximately $2,780,000 has been offset by a valuation allowance. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may have been limited, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382, as to the utilization of such net operating loss carryforwards due to changes in ownership of the Company over the years.

The reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the Federal income tax rate of 34% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as a result of the following:

Loss per Share

Under ASC 260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is the same for purposes of computing both basic and diluted net income per share for such years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Included in Accrued Liabilities, as of December 31, 2010, is a $450,000 estimate to settle some pending litigation discussed hereinafter, which has been settled in 2011.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company earned royalties and merchandise revenues from five licensees who are unrelated from management of the Company. During the December 31, 2011 period, revenues earned from royalties and merchandise sales from these unrelated licensees amounted to $629,251 and there was $112,561 due and outstanding as of December 31, 2011. The Company’s New York affiliate commenced operations in May 2009 and revenue amounted to $182,870 during the 2011 period. The Company’s Baltimore club had revenues increase 6% to $142,214 in the 2011 period from $133,751 in the 2010 period and Chicago revenues increased by 5% to $112,168 in the 2011 period from $106,987 in the 2010 period. In addition, revenues from the Company’s New Orleans nightclub increased 100% to $120,000 in the 2011 period from $60,000 in the 2010. The Company’s SMG, Scoreslive.com licensee website is still in the development stage since 2007, it has accounted for a minimal amount of our total royalty revenues to date. On September 30, 2010, we entered into a licensing agreement with Tampa Food & Entertainment, Inc.  Upon signing the contract, we received a non-refundable fee.  For the next twelve months we will receive a flat fee of per month with an advance payment to be made at the signing of the contract.  After the first twelve months, royalties payable to us under this license will be capped at the greater of a certain dollar amount per month or a percentage of net revenues. During the 2011 period revenues increased 67% to $72,000 from $43,000 in the 2010 period.

New Accounting Pronouncements

All newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to either be irrelevant or immaterial to the operations and reporting disclosures of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

On January 27, 2009, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with its affiliate through common ownership I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”) for the use of the Scores brand name “Scores New York”. IMO is also owned by Robert M. Gans who is the Company’s majority shareholder.

On March 22, 2010, Russell Whelchel, and on March 16, 2011, Charles Braden, who performed work as hair and makeup stylists at the Scores New York nightclub located at 536 West 28^th Street, New York, NY, each filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the S.D.N.Y. seeking to recover under federal and New York labor laws minimum wages, unlawful deductions, misappropriated gratuities and other wages, with interest, for the period of their “employment” with Scores New York. Joseph Bovine filed a similar action against the Company in November 2011. Although the Company disputed that it was an employer of the plaintiffs and denied all allegations, it settled these matters pursuant to a settlement and release agreement dated February 21, 2012. These matters were settled out of court.

In mid-March 2010, the Company was named by Nichole Hughes in a complaint filed with the SCNY. Ms Hughes is suing the Company for an unspecified amount of damages in connection with an alleged unauthorized use of her image in the Company’s advertising materials. On June 20, 2010, the Company filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss the complaint, which was denied on December 17, 2010. The Company then filed an answer and affirmative defenses and a third party complaint against IMO, owner and operator of the club where Ms. Hughes was employed. Plaintiff’s counsel has moved to be relieved and, once that motion is settled, the Company expects to file for summary judgment. The Company will vigorously defend itself in this litigation and does not expect that the outcome will be material.

On September 5, 2008, Ruth Fowler, a former cocktail waitress at Scores West, filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The plaintiff is seeking to recover damages for alleged illegal deductions take from her salary and monies due her and for sexual harassment under the New York City and New York State Human Rights Laws. On May 7, 2009, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the action against it but that motion was denied by the Court with possible leave to renew the motion at a future date after the completion of discovery proceedings. In the meanwhile, counsel for plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 26, 2010 to add as additional parties to the action Go West and EMS. On March 1, 2010, the Company filed affirmative defenses and an amended response asserting cross-claims for judgment against both Go West and EMS. On September 13, 2010, the SDNY denied plaintiff’s application for further discovery and on October 18, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted in July 2011.

In early March 2008, the Company received notice that DIF&B, owner of the Las Vegas club, would be canceling its sublicense with EMS effective on or before May 6, 2008. The Company was notified that DIF&B would be making final royalty payments to EMS totaling $60,000 at the rate of $10,000 per week starting the first week of March 2008. The Las Vegas club ceased operating and, as of December 31, 2008, EMS had received only one such $10,000 payment from DIF&B. EMS commenced an action against DIF&B and filed a complaint and affidavit of service with the SCNY, on July 23, 2008. DIF&B was required to file an answer by August 23, 2008, but did not do so. As a result, EMS filed an application for a default judgment and the SCNY appointed a referee to determine damages. The referee determined that damages in the amount of $216,000, with interest, should be paid to EMS and a default judgment totaling $230,557 was entered by the Clerk of the SCNY. The Company will attempt to collect on this judgment. The Company will be entitled to all monies so collected, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement with EMS and 333.

On December 11, 2007, Francis Vargas, a former cocktail waitress at Scores West located in New York, NY, filed a civil lawsuit against the Company and Go West in the SCNY, alleging violations of the New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York City Administrative Code, based upon allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The lawsuit further alleges that at all material times both the Company and Go West were employers of Ms. Vargas, the plaintiff. The law suit seeks unspecified compensatory damages for plaintiff’s alleged loss of past and future earnings and benefits, emotional distress, humiliation and loss of reputation. The Company disputes that it was an employer of the plaintiff and categorically denies all allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The Company filed its verified answer in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on February 12, 2008 to contest and defend against these accusations and it is currently engaged in discovery. On April 18, 2008, co-defendant Go West filed for bankruptcy and the case was stayed. On July 23, 2009, the bankruptcy petition was dismissed and, as a result, the automatic stay was lifted. The Company subsequently filed an amended response asserting cross-claims for judgment against both Go West and EMS. The Company then filed a motion for summary judgment which was denied and has now filed a notice of appeal. The Company will vigorously defend itself in this litigation and does not expect that the outcome will be material.
