Note 1. Organization

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Scores Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) is a Utah corporation, formed in September 1981 and located in New York, NY. Originally incorporated as Adonis Energy, Inc., the Company adopted its current name in July 2002. The Company is a licensing company that utilizes the “SCORES” name and trademark for licensing options.

The condensed 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. (“SLC”).

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2016 the Company has cumulative losses totaling $(5,992,856) and negative working capital of $(3,386). The Company had a net loss of $(168,694) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. 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 its brand with its current and new operators. 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 continue 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company earns predominately royalty revenues and to a lesser extent merchandise sales from 26 licensees.

With regards to 2016, concentrations of sales from 5 licensees range from 12% to 16%, totaling 67%. There are receivables from 4 licensees ranging from 18% to 28% totaling 93%. Included in these amounts for 2016 are sales from 0 licensee considered a related party. There are receivables from the 3 licensees that are considered related parties of 23%, 25% and 27%, all which have been reserved.

With regards to 2015, concentrations of sales from 7 licensees range from 10% to 14%, totaling 82%. There are receivables from 3 licensees ranging from 15% to 25% totaling 61%. Included in these amounts for 2015 are sales from 1 licensee considered a related party representing 10% of sales. There are receivables from the 3 licensees that are considered related parties of 15%, 21% and 25%.

Revenue recognition

The Company records revenues earned as royalties under its license agreements as they are earned over the term of the license agreements. The terms of the royalties earned under these license agreements vary from a flat monthly fee to a percentage of the revenues of the licensee on a monthly basis. If a license agreement is terminated, then the remaining unearned balance of the deferred revenues are recorded as earned if applicable.

As a result of the tenuous nature of the gentlemen’s club industry in general and the resulting financial instability of several of our new licensees the company has implemented a policy of recognizing revenue for these specific entities as it is received rather than when it is earned. Once our relationship with them has been more firmly established and payments have been made regularly and on time we will report these revenues when earned.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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.

Income per Share

Net income per share data for both the six-month periods ending June 30, 2016 and 2015 are based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.  As of June 30, 2016, there are no outstanding stock equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-forprofit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) “ASU 2016 – 01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities“intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU affects public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing GAAP by requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities. Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The ASU on recognition and measurement will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU permits early adoption of the own credit provision (referenced above). Additionally, it permits early adoption of the provision that exempts private companies and not-for-profit organizations from having to disclose fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) “ASU 2016 – 10 Revenue from Contract with Customers ( Topic 606 ): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing “ .The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606.

The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update2014-09 by one year. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective or adopted have been deemed not to be relevant to us, hence are not expected to have any impact once adopted

The Company accounted for and presented the advances due from related parties as a reduction of stockholders' equity in accordance with the guidance of ASC 505-10-45. It is possible that these advances by the Company to related parties could be deemed to be in violation of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, the Company has not made a determination as of the date hereof if the advances resulted in a violation of that provision. If, however, it is determined these advances violated the prohibitions of Section 402 from making loans to executive officers or directors, the Company could be subject to investigation and/or litigation that could involve significant time and costs and may not be resolved favorably. The Company is unable to predict the extent of its ultimate liability with respect to these transactions. The costs and other effects of any future litigation, government investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings, settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and operating results.

Note 4. Intangible Assets

Trademark

In connection with the acquisition of Scores Licensing Company (“SLC”) as discussed above, the Company acquired the trademark to the name "SCORES". This trademark had a gross recorded value at December 31, 2008 of $878,318 which had been increased for the purchase from SLC for $250,000. This trademark has been registered in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and the European Community. The trademark has been completely amortized by straight line method over an estimated useful life of ten years. The Company's trademark having an infinite useful life by its definition is being amortized over ten years due to the difficult New York legal environment for which the related showcase adult club is operating. As of December 31, 2011 the cost of the trademark has been fully amortized.

On February 13, 2015 we, together with our subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Southeast Show Clubs, LLC and Michael Tomkovich in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. Defendants had utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with their ownership and operation of adult entertainment clubs in Jacksonville and Palm Beach, Florida and in Savannah, Georgia. In this action we sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $900,000 plus interest, damages due to defamation and tortuous interference in connection with the use of the “Scores” trademark in the amount of $500,000, issuance of a permanent injunction prohibiting defendants from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the adult entertainment clubs they operate in Jacksonville and Palm Beach, Florida and Savannah, Georgia and all websites controlled by defendants, and an accounting by defendants of all merchandise items sold by them containing the “Scores” trademark. As of April 17, 2015 the parties settled this matter. Pursuant to the settlement, defendants agreed to pay us $150,000, payable in 13 installments. The first installment of $50,000 was paid upon finalization of the settlement, with 12 subsequent monthly payments of $8,333.33 commencing on May 1, 2015. The defendants also executed consents to the entry of a permanent injunction against them prohibiting their continued use of the name and trademark “Scores” at their clubs if either or both of the defendants default in their obligations under the settlement. In connection with the settlement, the parties entered into an amendment of the July 18, 2013 License Agreement between them. The amendment, among other things, (i) removes the Palm Beach club from the license agreement, (ii) provides that the license agreement shall only apply to the Jacksonville and Savannah nightclubs, (iii) requires the licensees to pay us a fixed royalty of $5,000 per month for each club, commencing May 1, 2015, and (iv) requires that the Savannah nightclub and any related websites utilize the name “Scores Presents.” As of June 30, 2016 the defendants remain in compliance with this settlement and have fully repaid the settlement.

On February 19, 2015 we, together with our subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Norm A Properties LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. Defendant utilizes the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of and adult entertainment club in Detroit, Michigan. In this action we sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $110,000 plus interest, and the issuance of a permanent injunction prohibiting defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the Detroit club and all websites controlled by defendant. The defendant failed to appear and on August 31, 2015, the court entered a judgment in favor of the Company (which order was amended on October 17, 2015), awarding a total of $117,646.92 to the Company. In addition, the court ordered defendant to render an accounting to the Company and enjoined the defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademarks. The Company is currently seeking to enforce the judgment in Detroit, Michigan. On June 29, 2016 the court transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan for further proceedings.

On March 14, 2016 three individuals purporting to be adult entertainers who performed at Scores New York commenced a lawsuit in the SDNY on behalf of themselves and a putative collective and class. The defendants in the action, in addition to us, include IMO, Robert Gans and Mark Yackow. The lawsuit alleges violation of federal and state wage and hour laws, including, inter alia, failure to pay minimum wage, overtime, spread of hours, uniform violations, and failure to provide wage notices and statements, arising from an alleged misclassification of the plaintiffs as independent contractors. We believe these claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously contest this lawsuit.

SCORES HOLDING CO., Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

On April 3, 2016, fifty (50) individuals purporting to be professional models and/or actresses, filed a civil suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, I.M. Operating, LLC, The Executive Club, LLC, and Robert M. Gans (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging images of the plaintiffs were used without their consent for commercial purposes on websites and social media outlets to promote gentlemen’s clubs operated by the Defendants or licensees of the Defendants.  The lawsuit further alleges that the unauthorized use of these images created, among other things, the false impression that these individuals either worked at, or endorsed, one or more of such clubs.  The lawsuit asserts causes of action under Section 43 of the Lanham Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1), premised on a theory of false endorsement and/or association; New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51; New York’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act, New York General Business Law § 349; defamation; as well as various common law torts, namely negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit.  The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.  The lawsuit also seeks an injunction permanently enjoining the use of the individuals’ images to promote, via any medium, any of the clubs.  Given that this lawsuit is in its preliminary stages, it is not possible at this juncture to ascertain the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.  However, the Defendants, including the Company, intend to vigorously defend themselves against the claims asserted against them in this lawsuit.

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

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Scores Holding Company, Inc. (“Scores,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Utah on September 21, 1981 under the name Adonis Energy, Inc. We adopted our current name in July 2002. Since 2003, we have been in the business of licensing the “Scores” trademarks and other intellectual property to fine gentlemen’s nightclubs with adult entertainment in the United States.  There are twenty-one such clubs currently operating under the Scores name, in New York, New York; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Baltimore, Maryland; Chicago, Illinois; Tampa, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Savannah, Georgia; Jacksonville, Florida; Houston, Texas; Harvey, Louisiana; Gary, Indiana; Mooresville, North Carolina; Greenville, South Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Queens, New York; Denver, Colorado; Palm Springs, Florida; and Raleigh, North Carolina; Providence, Rhode Island; Buffalo, New York and Tonawanda, New York. A club in Detroit, Michigan is no longer operating and is in default and breach of contract. (See the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements - Note 9 for more information.) Clubs in Phoenix Arizona; New Haven, Connecticut; and Manitowoc, Wisconsin are not yet operating.

On January 27, 2009, Mitchell’s East LLC, wholly owned by Robert M. Gans, acquired a majority interest in our outstanding capital stock.  I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”), which is partially owned by Robert M. Gans who is also our majority shareholder, has signed a licensing agreement with us and commenced operations in New York of a new club (the “New York Club”) under the Scores name in May 2009.   Throughout this report, we refer to the New York Club as our affiliate, because of the common ownership by Mr. Gans. All other clubs are referred to as non-affiliated clubs or as licensees, a term that may include the New York Club when the context requires.

On August 6, 2010, we appointed Robert M. Gans as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our Board.  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.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 (“the 2016 three-month period”) Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 (“the 2015 three-month period”).

Revenues:

Revenues decreased to $245,606 for the 2016 three-month period from $392,279 for the 2015 three-month period. 

This decrease was primarily due to clubs not paying royalties. Our licenses are structured such that we receive a percentage of revenues from our licensees, the foregoing increase or decreases are a direct result of revenues at the licensee level or structured with a flat monthly rate.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased during the 2016 three-month period to $308,421 from $125,466 during the 2015 three-month period.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately by $183,155 from 2016 to 2015, which can be attributed to the increase in taxes, payroll and an accounts receivable allowance. Legal expenses attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $51,305 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 and $7,886 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes relates primarily to the greater of average assets and capital taxable income. The average assets and capital are not impacted by net operating losses.

Net Income(Loss):

Our net loss was ($63,104) or ($.000) per share for the 2016 three-month period as compared to net income of $266,950 or $.002 per share for the 2015 three-month period. The decrease in net income for the 2016 three-month period from the 2015 three-month period was in part a result of increased general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Net income per share data for both the 2016 three-month period and the 2015 three-month period is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 (“the 2016 six-month period”) Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 (“the 2015 six-month period”).

Revenues:

Revenues decreased to $484,677 for the 2016 six-month period from $614,267 for the 2015 six-month period. 

This decrease was primarily due to clubs not paying royalties. Our licenses are structured such that we receive a percentage of revenues from our licensees, the foregoing increase or decreases are a direct result of revenues at the licensee level or structured with a flat monthly rate.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased during the 2016 six-month period to $643,684 from $316,891 during the 2015 six-month period.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately by $326,793 from 2016 to 2015, which can be attributed to the increase in taxes, payroll and an accounts receivable allowance. Legal expenses attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $76,286 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and $22,291 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes relates primarily to the greater of average assets and capital taxable income. The average assets and capital are not impacted by net operating losses.

Net Income(Loss):

Our net loss was ($168,694) or ($.001) per share for the 2016 six-month period as compared to net income of $297,156 or $.002 per share for the 2015 six-month period. The decrease in net income for the 2016 six-month period from the 2015 six-month period was in part a result of increased general and administrative expenses discussed above.

Net income per share data for both the 2016 six-month period and the 2015 six-month period is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash:

At June 30, 2016, we had $8,532 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $515,994 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015.

Operating Activities:

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was ($232,462) and net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $149,138. The decrease in cash is related to the payment of accrued bonus, reserve of bad debt and a loan.

Financing Activities:

As of June 30, 2016, we owed $0 in rent to our Westside Realty affiliate and $0 to our Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. affiliate.

Future Capital Requirements:

We have incurred significant 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 June 30, 2016, we had total current assets of $187,790 and total current liabilities of $191,176 or negative working capital of $3,386. As of December 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $807,550 and total current liabilities of $387,909 or working capital of $419,641. The decrease in the amount of working capital has been primarily attributable to the increase in taxes, payroll and an accounts receivable allowance.

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 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. We may also need to raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our adult entertainment trademark licensing business.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On or about March 7, 2014, Kiana Love, a former entertainer and masseuse at The Penthouse Executive Club and Scores New York, both located in New York, NY, filed a civil lawsuit in the Uniited States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY”) against us, The Executive Club, LLC, Go West Entertainment, Inc., Scores Entertainment, Inc., Entertainment Management Services, Inc., 333 East 60th Street., Inc., I.M. Operating, LLC, Richard Goldring, Elliot Osher, Robert Gans and Mark Yackow (collectively “Defendants”), alleging, for the time during which she performed as a masseuse, violations of the state and federal wage and hour laws, including the New York Labor Law and Fair Labor Standards Act, based upon allegations of failure to pay minimum wage, uniform related expenses, and allegations of improper wage deductions and tip misappropriation as well as record keeping violations. The lawsuit further alleged that at all material times Defendants were employers of Ms. Love, the plaintiff, while she performed massage services at Scores New York as well as The Penthouse Executive Club.  The lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages for plaintiff’s alleged loss of past wages and reimbursement of allegedly unlawful deductions. Without any party admitting liability, the parties settled the referenced litigation for approximately $21,403.65. The settlement was approved by the Court on April 13, 2015 and the case has been marked closed.

On February 13, 2015 we, together with our subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Southeast Show Clubs, LLC and Michael Tomkovich in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. Defendants had utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with their ownership and operation of adult entertainment clubs in Jacksonville and Palm Beach, Florida and in Savannah, Georgia. In this action we sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $900,000 plus interest, damages due to defamation and tortious interference in connection with the use of the “Scores” trademark in the amount of $500,000, issuance of a permanent injunction prohibiting defendants from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the adult entertainment clubs they operate in Jacksonville and Palm Beach, Florida and Savannah, Georgia and all websites controlled by defendants, and an accounting by defendants of all merchandise items sold by them containing the “Scores” trademark. As of April 17, 2015 the parties settled this matter. Pursuant to the settlement, defendants agreed to pay us $150,000, payable in 13 installments. The first installment of $50,000 was paid upon finalization of the settlement, with 12 subsequent monthly payments of $8,333.33 commencing on May 1, 2015. The defendants also executed consents to the entry of a permanent injunction against them prohibiting their continued use of the name and trademark “Scores” at their clubs if either or both of the defendants default in their obligations under the settlement. In connection with the settlement, the parties entered into an amendment of the July 18, 2013 License Agreement between them. The amendment, among other things, (i) removes the Palm Beach club from the license agreement, (ii) provides that the license agreement shall only apply to the Jacksonville and Savannah nightclubs, (iii) requires the licensees to pay us a fixed royalty of $5,000 per month for each club, commencing May 1, 2015, and (iv) requires that the Savannah nightclub and any related websites utilize the name “Scores Presents.” As of June 30, 2016 the defendants remain in compliance with this settlement and have fully repaid the settlement.

On February 19, 2015 we, together with our subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Norm A Properties LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. Defendant utilizes the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of and adult entertainment club in Detroit, Michigan. In this action we sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $110,000 plus interest, and the issuance of a permanent injunction prohibiting defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the Detroit club and all websites controlled by defendant. The defendant failed to appear and on August 31, 2015, the court entered a judgment in favor of the Company (which order was amended on October 17, 2015), awarding a total of $117,646.92 to the Company. In addition, the court ordered defendant to render an accounting to the Company and enjoined the defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademarks. The Company is currently seeking to enforce the judgment in Detroit, Michigan. On June 29, 2016 the court transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan for further proceedings .

On March 14, 2016 three individuals purporting to be adult entertainers who performed at Scores New York commenced a lawsuit in the SDNY on behalf of themselves and a putative collective and class. The defendants in the action, in addition to us, include IMO, Robert Gans and Mark Yackow.

We believe these claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously contest this lawsuit.

On April 3, 2016, fifty (50) individuals purporting to be professional models and/or actresses, filed a civil suit in the SDNY against the Company, I.M. Operating, LLC, The Executive Club, LLC, and Robert M. Gans (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging images of the plaintiffs were used without their consent for commercial purposes on websites and social media outlets to promote gentlemen’s clubs operated by the Defendants or licensees of the Defendants.  The lawsuit further alleges that the unauthorized use of these images created, among other things, the false impression that these individuals either worked at, or endorsed, one or more of such clubs.  The lawsuit asserts causes of action under Section 43 of the Lanham Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1), premised on a theory of false endorsement and/or association; New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51; New York’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act, New York General Business Law § 349; defamation; as well as various common law torts, namely negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit.  The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.  The lawsuit also seeks an injunction permanently enjoining the use of the individuals’ images to promote, via any medium, any of the clubs.  Given that this lawsuit is in its preliminary stages, it is not possible at this juncture to ascertain the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.  However, the Defendants, including the Company, intend to vigorously defend themselves against the claims asserted against them in this lawsuit.
