Note 1. Organization

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Scores Holding Company, Inc. (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.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”), its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts, as well as those of its wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the reported results.The Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

COVID-19

As a result of the COVID-19 virus, during the first quarter of 2020 and ongoing, state and local governments have required all but certain essential businesses to close, including all nine clubs operating under the Scores name. The duration and ultimate extent of the closures of these clubs cannot be predicted at this time, however the impact on such clubs' revenue could be material and result in a significant decline in our royalty revenues.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has cumulative losses totaling $(6,931,224) and negative working capital of $147,140. 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 within one year after the date the financials are issued. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, revenue from the initiation fees are recognizable when at a point in time (first month of the contract) and royalty revenues are recognized over time for those contracts with probable collections.

The Company's license fee revenue is generated from royalties earned through intellectual property licensing agreements which permit the licensee to use the recognition and status of the Scores brand in order to promote their businesses. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized throughout the life of the executed licensing agreement. The Company measures revenue based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Furthermore, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over the service to its customer.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation. The Company's customers typically receive the benefit of its services as they are performed. Substantially all customer contracts provide that the Company is compensated for services performed to date. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of the Company's products and services from which it generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each:

i. Licensing Revenue

Licensing fees represent the fees the Company receives from the licensing of the Company's Scores trademark. 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. The licensing rights are transferred to the Company's customers over time, and the Company recognizes licensing revenue over time because the customer will simultaneously receive and consume the benefit from the license as the performance occurs.

ii. Stand-Ready for Consulting and Club Set-up Services

The Company offers an initial set-up and consultation to new clubs in order to aid in the opening and operation. The services are provided within the first month of any licensing agreements, and sometimes are not requested by the licensee and therefore never provided.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company earns royalty revenues from ten licensees.

With regards to June 30, 2020, concentrations of sales from four licensees range from 11% to 41%, totaling 99%. There are receivables from two licensee totaling 100%. There are no sales from licensees that are considered related parties. There are no receivables from these licensees that are considered related parties.

With regards to June 30, 2019, concentrations of sales from five licensees range from 11% to 23%, totaling 78%. There are receivables from three licensees ranging from 14% to 64%, totaling 96%. There are no sales from licensees that are considered related parties. There are no receivables from these licensees that are considered related parties.

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.

SCORES HOLDING CO., Inc and Subsidiary

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the uninsured balance amounted to $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

Income 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. As of June 30, 2020, there are no outstanding stock equivalents. . Accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is the same for purposes of computing both basic and diluted net income per share for such years.

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 identical 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 or quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update

Leases

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. ASU 2019-01 aligns the guidance for fair value of the underlying asset by lessors with existing guidance in Topic 842. The ASU requires that the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement is its cost reflecting in volume or trade discounts that may apply. However, if there has been a significant lapse of time between the date the asset was acquired and the lease commencement date, the definition of fair value as outlined in Topic 820 should be applied. In addition, the ASU exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain interim disclosures in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We have evaluated the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and there is no effect.

Credit loss

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendment to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19 (collectively, Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 Lawsuit asserted 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; as well as various common law torts, namely defamation, negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. The Lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The Lawsuit also sought an injunction permanently enjoining the use of the individuals’ images to promote, via any medium, any of the clubs. On April 20, 2017, as a result of the claims asserted in the Lawsuit, the Company filed a third-party complaint (the “Third-Party Complaint”) against certain licensees, namely CG Consulting, LLC; Anthony Quaranta; High Five Management Group, Inc.; Club 2000 Eastern Avenue, Inc.; SCMD, LLC; David Baucom; Manhattan Fashion L.L.C.; Stone Park Entertainment, Inc.; Silver Bourbon, Inc.; Tampa Food & Entertainment, Inc.; Fuun House Productions, L.L.C.; Norm A Properties, LLC; Southeast Show Clubs, LLC; Michael Tomkovich; Palm Spring Grill LLC; Houston KP LLC; and Star Light Events LLC (collectively, “Third-Party Defendants”) asserting causes of action for breach of contract, breach of warranty, contractual indemnification, common law indemnification, contribution and breach of contract for failure to procure insurance. The Company maintained in the Third-Party Complaint, among other things, that pursuant to the Third-Party Defendants’ respective license agreements, each of the Third-Party Defendants are expressly obligated to indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless in connection with the conduct giving rise to the claims asserted by Plaintiffs in the Lawsuit. Third-Party Defendants Club 2000 Eastern Avenue, Inc., Fuun House Productions, L.L.C., and Norm A Properties, LLC (collectively the “Defaulting Third-Party Defendants”) failed to respond to the Third-Party Complaint.

On January 5, 2017, the Court issued an Order granting in part, and denying in part, Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint. The Court dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims sounding in negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. The remaining claims were not dismissed at that time. On August 4, 2018, the Court dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants, including the Company, with prejudice, at Plaintiffs’ request following settlement with Defendants. During 2018, the Company paid $1,310,000 to Plaintiffs in connection with the settlement. Between August 4, 2018 and October 9, 2018, the Court dismissed with prejudice the Company’s claims against the Third-Party Defendants, other than the Defaulting Third-Party Defendants, at the Company’s request following settlement with those Third-Party Defendants. The total amount of money paid to the Company by the settling Third-Party Defendants, and the Company’s insurance carrier, is $505,660, paid thru September 30, 2019 and $90,000 received during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Scores has obtained Default Orders against Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. and Norm A Properties, LLC. The value of the Company’s claims against Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. and Norm A Properties, LLC are all that remain to be determined in the action. The Company became aware during the week of December 17, 2018 that Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. has filed for bankruptcy protection.

On January 3, 2017, the Company, together with its subsidiary SLC, filed an action against CJ NYC Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The parties negotiated a settlement agreement, which included a payment schedule, but then Defendant did not sign the proposed settlement agreement. The Company is attempting to collect on the default judgment, but it believes that Defendant no longer has any assets, leaving the Company unable to collect on the default judgment.

On July 25, 2017, plaintiff Dislenia Munoz, who formerly performed as an adult entertainer at Scores New York, owned in its entirety by I.M. Operating LLC, commenced a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, IMO, Robert Gans and Mark Yackow in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Plaintiff alleged that she and other similarly situated entertainers at Scores New York were misclassified as independent contractors, that they should have been classified as employees, and as a result, the Defendants violated, among other things, applicable state wage and hour laws. The Lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages, liquidated damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 22, 2018, Plaintiff (1) amended her complaint in the Lawsuit to excise her class allegations, and (2) discontinued the Lawsuit, without prejudice.

On October 8, 2018, the Company was served with a Summons and Complaint in the action entitled Luisa Santos de Oliveira v. Scores Holding Company, Inc.; Club Azure, LLC; Robert Gans; Mark S. Yackow; Howard Rosenbluth, Docket No. 1:18-cv-06769-GBD, in the United States District Court of the Southern District. Plaintiff claims that the Defendants violated the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); violated the New York Minimum Wage Act and the overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law (“NYLL”); violated the Spread of Hours Wage Order of the New York Commissioner of Labor; violated the Notice and Recordkeeping requirements of the NYLL; violated the wage statement provisions of the NYLL; recovery of equipment costs in violation of the FLSA and NYLL; and unlawful deductions from tips in violation of the NYLL. Plaintiff brought this action as a class action and seeks certification of this action as a collective action on behalf of herself and all other similarly situated employees and former employees of Defendants. The Company has submitted an Answer to Plaintiff’s claims and the case is currently in the discovery phase. The Company, along with the Co-defendants, intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims asserted against it in this lawsuit. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is remote because the Company’s records show, inter alia, that the Plaintiff never worked more than 25 hours per week. The case was assigned to a Magistrate Judge.  There was a conference on March 2, 2021 and a Scheduling Order was entered.  On March 26, 2021, a Stipulation of Discontinuance was so-ordered by the Federal Court, discontinuing all claims against the Company.

On October 10, 2018, the Company, filed an action against SCMD, LLC, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendant utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in Baltimore, Maryland and paid royalty fees to the Company up through and including July of 2017 but did not abandon its use of the Scores name and trademarks until September of 2018. In this action, the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $160,000. On December 5, 2018, the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On February 19, 2019, an Amended Complaint was filed. On March 8, 2019, Defendant’s counsel requested permission from the Court to submit a motion to dismiss the Company’s amended complaint. The Court finally granted Defendant’s request on November 6, 2019 and gave a briefing schedule. Defendant’s motion to dismiss was denied on August 14, 2020. In September of 2020, the parties settled this matter for $50,000, of which $5,000 remains due and outstanding. SCMD, LLC has since been dissolved. We are still trying to collect the remaining $5,000 that is due to the Company, but we are not confident that we will be successful given that SCMD, LLC has been dissolved.

On September 14, 2018, the Company and its subsidiary Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”), filed an action against New 4125, LLC and Mike Taraska in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendants utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in Phoenix, Arizona. In this action, the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $47,500. Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint but it was not submitted by an attorney notwithstanding the fact that corporations must be represented by counsel. A motion to vacate the Answer based on the fact that the corporate defendant is not represented by counsel is pending.

On April 22, 2018, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against 1715 Northside Drive, Inc., the former licensee of SCORES Atlanta. The action was settled and paid in full during the 3rd quarter 2018.

On May 4, 2018, we together with our subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against Bonkers Space Coast Inc. and Ken Fees, the former licensee of the SCORES Green Bay, for unpaid royalties in the amount of $80,000. The Defendants have not appeared and Plaintiffs have filed a motion for judgment by default. A motion for default judgement was granted and judgement was entered on November 26, 2019. The Company has found real property owned by the Defendant and we are in the process of attaching same. We filed an exemplified copy of the default judgment with the State Court in Wisconsin, to collect licensing fees. A judgment was docketed on June 12, 2020 in Manitowoc County, WI for $82,330.34. The real property is valued at approximately $97,000 but the Wisconsin Homestead Act allows the debtor to exempt as much as $75,000 of equity. There is also a prior mortgage and tax lien totaling approximately $45,000. We have therefore ceased attempts to collect on the judgment because there is no remaining equity left in the real property.

On September 5, 2019, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against Scores Alabama. A cease and desist letter was sent. The Company finally entered into a license agreement as of March 5, 2020 with Cheetah Club, LLC for a club located in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Company had been in the process of negotiating a license agreement with an adult entertainment club that started using the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with an adult entertainment club located in Huntsville, Alabama without a proper licensing agreement in place. The Company’s subsidiary, SLC, ended up entering into a license agreement in March of 2020.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in the Voronina litigation, and in August 2018, the Court entered an order dismissing the plaintiff’s claims against the Defendants with prejudice. Metropolitan, loaned the Company an aggregate of $770,000 to enable the Company to make the payments called for by the Agreement.

As previously reported, in February 2017, the Company entered into settlement agreements (each, a “Royalty Settlement Agreement”) with Star Light, Swan, IMO and Robert M. Gans. Robert M. Gans is the owner of a majority of the equity of each of aforementioned Licensees. Pursuant to the Royalty Settlement Agreements, the Company forgave the repayment of a certain portion of unpaid, past-due royalties in return for the respective Licensees’ agreements to pay the remainder (the “Royalty Settlement Amount”) of the unpaid royalties, plus interest, to the Company. The Royalty Settlement Amount for each Licensee was represented by a promissory note, and Robert M. Gans guaranteed the payment of each Licensee’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

The Licensees did not remain current with respect to their obligations under the Royalty Settlement Agreements, and the Company did not call upon Robert M. Gans to honor his guarantees. The past due amounts under the Royalty Settlement Agreements aggregated $382,259 (the “Aggregate Royalty Amount”) as of December 1, 2018. As of such date, the Company, the Licensees, Metropolitan and Robert M. Gans entered into a Settlement and Offset Agreement (the “Offset Agreement”) pursuant to which the Aggregate Royalty Amount was offset against the Voronina Amount, thereby reducing the amount owed by the Company to Metropolitan to $408,546 (the “Net Voronina Amount”). The Net Voronina Amount is payable pursuant to a promissory note (the “Voronina Note”), which bears simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, in 86 consecutive monthly installments of $5,000, and a final installment of $1,370, with the initial installment due and payable on January 1, 2022 (or the first business day thereafter). The Company may prepay the Voronina Note at any time, in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The Offset Agreement also provides for the immediate termination of the Royalty Settlement Agreements and the related promissory notes and guarantees.

On January 29, 2020, an individual referred to as Jane Doe, the Plaintiff, filed a civil suit in in the Circuit Court of the 13^th Judicial Circuit, in the State of Florida, Hillsborough County, against the Company, its subsidiary, Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”), and several other defendants.  Plaintiff’s Complaint details the somber circumstances surround the illegal actions of a non-party, who pled guilty to certain crimes against Plaintiff that were committed at a club known as Scores Tampa.  Plaintiff now seeks to hold the Company and its subsidiary, among other defendants, liable in connection with the non-party’s illegal activity by asserting causes of action for negligence, vicarious liability and unjust enrichment.  Initially, prior counsel moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint in lieu of filing Answers.  A motion to dismiss was submitted because the Court lacks personal jurisdiction under Florida’s Long-Arm Statute and Due Process Requirements because neither the Company or its subsidiary had minimum contacts with Florida; nor was their a benefited conferred upon them.  The Court wrongfully denied the motion to dismiss.  The case is in the deposition stage of discovery.  A motion for summary judgment will be submitted because neither the Company or its subsidiary were involved in the day-to-day operations of Scores Tampa, or in fact involved in the operations of Scores Tampa at all.  Other than the Company licensing the Scores trademark and other intellectual property to Scores Tampa, pursuant to a 2010 license agreement, neither the Company or its affiliate operated, conducted, engaged in, or managed Scores Tampa, making it vicariously liable for the non-party’s criminal actions.

On July 15, 2019, plaintiff Jeremy Green, a former consultant to Swan Media Group, Inc (“SMG”), commenced an action in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York against Scores Holding Co., Inc., Scores Media Group LLC, Scores Digital Gaming LLC (“SDG”) and individual defendants Robert Gans and Charilaos Yioves seeking to recover from all defendants under various theories of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppels, fraudulent inducement and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.

By Order dated March 18, 2020, the Court dismissed all the causes of action except for the breach of contract claim pertaining to Greene’s consultancy agreement with SMG (First Cause of Action) and the unjust enrichment claim relating to ScoresCasino.com (Second Cause of Action). The parties have exchange documents and information relating to the remaining causes of action and depositions were held in April, July, August and November, 2021.  The parties do not expect expert disclosures will be necessary as neither side sees the need for it.

On March 4, 2022, the parties appeared before Judge Stanton for a status conference where the parties discussed a briefing schedule for summary judgment motions and the potential for trial on certain issues.

On April 17, 2021, in an action entitled Jessica Hall v. Scores Holding Company, Inc., et al, filed in Federal Court, Southern District, the Plaintiff claims that, while she worked at a gentlemen’s club located in New York, New York and commonly known as Scores NY, she was discriminated and retaliated against because of her race in violation of both Federal and State law. A motion for default judgment was denied, and Plaintiff was recently granted permission to file and serve an Amended Complaint. Accordingly on February 4, 2022 a First Amendment Complaint was filed. On March 4, 2022  an Answer to the First Amendment Complaint was filed. On March 18, 2022 the Defendants filed A First Demand for Interrogatories Upon the Defendant. We have made demands for discovery from the Plaintiff and motioned for summary judgement seeking dismissal of all claims, which is pending. The likelihood of success on the merits is negligible because the Company, as simply the owner of the “Scores” brand and trademarks, did not own, operate or otherwise control Scores NY or employ, manage, or otherwise control Plaintiff’s employment during the period October 23, 2009 until June 18, 2019.

There are no other material legal proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its property is subject, nor to the Company's 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. As of June 30, 2020, there are nine such clubs operating under the Scores name, in New York, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Tampa, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Mooresville, North Carolina; Palm Springs, Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Huntsville Alabama.

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. Effective September 1, 2017, IMO no longer owned or operated the New York Club and terminated its licensing agreement with the Company. IMO sold the New York Club to Club Azure LLC (“CA”) which was owned by Mark Yackow who is the sole owner (100%) of CA and former Chief Operating Officer of IMO. Mr. Yackow passed away on October 12, 2020. Effective September 1, 2017, the Company granted an exclusive, non-transferable license for the use of the “Scores New York” to CA for the New York Club.

Impact of COVID-19

As a result of the COVID-19 virus, during the first and second quarter of 2020, state and local governments have required all but certain essential businesses to close, including all eight clubs operating under the Scores name. The duration and ultimate extent of the closures of these clubs cannot be predicted at this time, however the impact on such clubs' revenue could be material and result in a significant decline in our royalty revenues.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 (“the 2020 three-month period”) Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 (“the 2019 three-month period”).

Revenues:

Revenues decreased to $9,000 for the 2020 three-month period from $183,549 for the 2019 three-month period. Revenues decreased due to COVID causing shutdowns.

Our licenses are structured such that we receive royalty payments representing a percentage of revenues of the licensee, or structured with a flat monthly rate.

Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expense) decreased to $(3,816) for the 2020 three-month period from $35,701 from the 2019 three-month period.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses decreased during the 2020 three-month period to $64,849 from $125,731 during the 2019 three-month period, which can be attributed to the decrease in salary and other expenses along with a decrease in legal expenses. Legal expenses, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses, attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $5,773 for the 2020 three-month period and $27,335 for the 2019 three-month period.

Net income(loss) per share data for both the 2020 three-month period and the 2019 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, 2020 (“the 2020 six-month period”) Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 (“the 2019 six-month period”).

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses decreased during the 2020 six-month period to $176,311 from $291,461 during the 2019 six-month period, which can be attributed to COVID along with the decrease in salary and other expenses along with a decrease in legal expenses. Legal expenses, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses, attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $18,917 for the 2020 six-month period and $27,355 for the 2019 six-month period.

Net Income (Loss):

Our net loss ($31,229) or ($0.00) per share for the 2020 six-month period as compared to our net income was $50,563 or $0.00 per share for the 2019 six-month period. This increase in our net loss was primarily due COVID.

Net income per share data for both the 2020 six-month period and the 2019 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

Going Concern:

Various conditions such as the accumulated losses, working capital deficit, significant debt, and the results of litigation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

Cash:

At June 30, 2020, we had $1,891 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $9,331 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2019.

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2020 six month period was $15,060 and net cash used by operating activities for the 2019 six-month period was $28,439. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is related to COVID.

Financing Activities:

Net cash used by financing activities for the 2020 six-month period was $22,500 and net cash provided by financing activities for the 2019 six-month period was $15,000.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we owed $15,000 and $7,500, respectively in rent to our Westside Realty affiliate. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we owed to our Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. affiliate $22,500 and $22,500 respectively for management fees and $352,581 and $345,611, respectively for a loan advanced to the Company to assist in paying litigation costs.

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, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,931,224). As of June 30, 2020, we had total current assets of $160,897 and total current liabilities of $308,037 or negative working capital of $147,140. As of December 31, 2019, we had total current assets of $70,763 and total current liabilities of $221,644 or negative working capital of $150,881. The decrease in the amount of negative working capital has been primarily attributable to the increase in cash from previous non-paying clubs, along with a decrease in liabilities.

We will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of or investments in businesses, products and technologies that are complementary 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.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)             Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer), as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure of controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020 because of the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the effectiveness and timeliness of our financial statement review process, including policies and procedures governing our financial statement close process, and control in the preparation, documentation, and review of journal entries and account reconciliations

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. 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. The control deficiencies as of June 30, 2020, and subsequent reports should be considered material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

As set forth below, management has taken or will take steps to remediate the control deficiencies identified above. Notwithstanding the control deficiencies described above, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Management's Remediation Plan

In response to the deficiencies discussed above, we plan to continue efforts already underway to improve internal control over financial reporting, which include creating formal policies and procedures governing our financial statement close process, and control in the preparation, documentation, and review of journal entries and account reconciliations.

Management and our Board of Directors will continue to monitor these remedial measures and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures. Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On April 3, 2016, 50 individuals purporting to be professional models and/or actresses collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) 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 the (“Defendants”) alleging that images of 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”). The Lawsuit further alleged 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 asserted 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; as well as various common law torts, namely defamation, negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. The Lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The Lawsuit also sought an injunction permanently enjoining the use of the individuals’ images to promote, via any medium, any of the clubs. On April 20, 2017, as a result of the claims asserted in the Lawsuit, the Company filed a third-party complaint (the “Third-Party Complaint”) against certain licensees, namely CG Consulting, LLC; Anthony Quaranta; High Five Management Group, Inc.; Club 2000 Eastern Avenue, Inc.; SCMD, LLC; David Baucom; Manhattan Fashion L.L.C.; Stone Park Entertainment, Inc.; Silver Bourbon, Inc.; Tampa Food & Entertainment, Inc.; Fuun House Productions, L.L.C.; Norm A Properties, LLC; Southeast Show Clubs, LLC; Michael Tomkovich; Palm Spring Grill LLC; Houston KP LLC; and Star Light Events LLC (collectively, “Third-Party Defendants”) asserting causes of action for breach of contract, breach of warranty, contractual indemnification, common law indemnification, contribution and breach of contract for failure to procure insurance. The Company maintained in the Third-Party Complaint, among other things, that pursuant to the Third-Party Defendants’ respective license agreements, each of the Third-Party Defendants are expressly obligated to indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless in connection with the conduct giving rise to the claims asserted by Plaintiffs in the Lawsuit. Third-Party Defendants Club 2000 Eastern Avenue, Inc., Fuun House Productions, L.L.C., and Norm A Properties, LLC (collectively the “Defaulting Third-Party Defendants”) failed to respond to the Third-Party Complaint.

On January 5, 2017, the Court issued an Order granting in part, and denying in part, Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint. The Court dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims sounding in negligence, conversion, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit. The remaining claims were not dismissed at that time. On August 4, 2018, the Court dismissed Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants, including the Company, with prejudice, at Plaintiffs’ request following settlement with Defendants. During 2018, the Company paid $1,310,000 to Plaintiffs in connection with the settlement. Between August 4, 2018 and October 9, 2018, the Court dismissed with prejudice the Company’s claims against the Third-Party Defendants, other than the Defaulting Third-Party Defendants, at the Company’s request following settlement with those Third-Party Defendants. The total amount of money paid to the Company by the settling Third-Party Defendants, and the Company’s insurance carrier, is $505,660, paid thru September 30, 2019 and $90,000 received during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Scores has obtained Default Orders against Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. and Norm A Properties, LLC. The value of the Company’s claims against Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. and Norm A Properties, LLC are all that remain to be determined in the action. The Company became aware during the week of December 17, 2018 that Fuun House Productions, L.L.C. has filed for bankruptcy protection.

On January 3, 2017, the Company, together with its subsidiary SLC, filed an action against CJ NYC Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Defendant utilizes the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club in Woodside, New York. In this action the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $85,000 and the issuance of a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the Woodside, New York club and all websites and social media sites controlled by Defendant. The defendant failed to appear and on February 27, 2017, the Company filed a motion for judgment by default. The court heard the Company motion on April 5, 2017, and on May 25, 2017, the court granted the Company's motion for a Judgment by default, granting a permanent injunction and awarding damages in the amount of $85,000 to SLC and $14,333 in damages and $530 in costs to the Company. All signage has been removed and the Company is attempting to collect on the default judgment, but it believes that Defendant no longer has any assets, leaving the Company unable to collect on the default judgment.

On January 31, 2017, the Company, together with its subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Funn House Productions LLC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Defendant utilizes the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club in New Haven, Connecticut. In this action the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $45,000 and the issuance of a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the defendant from using the “Scores” name and trademark with respect to the New Haven, Connecticut club and all websites and social media sites controlled by Defendant. The Defendant failed to appear and on February 28, 2017, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for a Judgment by default, granting a permanent injunction and awarding damages in the amount of $60,000. The parties negotiated a settlement agreement, which included a payment schedule, but then Defendant did not sign the proposed settlement agreement. The Company is attempting to collect on the default judgment, but it believes that Defendant no longer has any assets, leaving the Company unable to collect on the default judgment.

On July 25, 2017, plaintiff Dislenia Munoz, who formerly performed as an adult entertainer at Scores New York, owned in its entirety by I.M. Operating LLC, commenced a putative class action lawsuit against the Company, IMO, Robert Gans and Mark Yackow in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Plaintiff alleged that she and other similarly situated entertainers at Scores New York were misclassified as independent contractors, that they should have been classified as employees, and as a result, the Defendants violated, among other things, applicable state wage and hour laws. The Lawsuit sought unspecified compensatory damages, liquidated damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 22, 2018, Plaintiff (1) amended her complaint in the Lawsuit to excise her class allegations, and (2) discontinued the Lawsuit, without prejudice. Plaintiff has brought her claims in the Lawsuit in another forum against the Defendants, other than the Company, which is no longer a subject of Plaintiff’s claims.

On October 8, 2018, the Company was served with a Summons and Complaint in the action entitled Luisa Santos de Oliveira v. Scores Holding Company, Inc.; Club Azure, LLC; Robert Gans; Mark S. Yackow; Howard Rosenbluth, Docket No. 1:18-cv-06769-GBD, in the United States District Court of the Southern District. Plaintiff claims that the Defendants violated the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); violated the New York Minimum Wage Act and the overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law (“NYLL”); violated the Spread of Hours Wage Order of the New York Commissioner of Labor; violated the Notice and Recordkeeping requirements of the NYLL; violated the wage statement provisions of the NYLL; recovery of equipment costs in violation of the FLSA and NYLL; and unlawful deductions from tips in violation of the NYLL. Plaintiff brought this action as a class action and seeks certification of this action as a collective action on behalf of herself and all other similarly situated employees and former employees of Defendants. The Company has submitted an Answer to Plaintiff’s claims and the case is currently in the discovery phase. The Company, along with the Co-defendants, intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims asserted against it in this lawsuit. The likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is remote because the Company’s records show, inter alia, that the Plaintiff never worked more than 25 hours per week. The case was assigned to a Magistrate Judge.  There was a conference on March 2, 2021 and a Scheduling Order was entered.  On March 26, 2021, a Stipulation of Discontinuance was so-ordered by the Federal Court, discontinuing all claims against the Company.

On October 10, 2018, the Company, filed an action against SCMD, LLC, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendant utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in Baltimore, Maryland and paid royalty fees to the Company up through and including July of 2017 but did not abandon its use of the Scores name and trademarks until September of 2018. In this action, the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $160,000. On December 5, 2018, the case was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On February 19, 2019, an Amended Complaint was filed. On March 8, 2019, Defendant’s counsel requested permission from the Court to submit a motion to dismiss the Company’s amended complaint. The Court finally granted Defendant’s request on November 6, 2019 and gave a briefing schedule. Defendant’s motion to dismiss was denied on August 14, 2020. In September of 2020, the parties settled this matter for $50,000, of which $5,000 remains due and outstanding. SCMD, LLC has since been dissolved. We are still trying to collect the remaining $5,000 that is due to the Company, but we are not confident that we will be successful given that SCMD, LLC has been dissolved.

On September 14, 2018, the Company and its subsidiary Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”), filed an action against New 4125, LLC and Mike Taraska in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendants utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in Phoenix, Arizona. In this action, the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $47,500. Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint but it was not submitted by an attorney notwithstanding the fact that corporations must be represented by counsel. A motion to vacate the Answer based on the fact that the corporate defendant is not represented by counsel is pending.

On April 22, 2018, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against 1715 Northside Drive, Inc., the former licensee of SCORES Atlanta. The action was settled and paid in full during the 3rd quarter 2018.

On May 4, 2018, we together with our subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against Bonkers Space Coast Inc. and Ken Fees, the former licensee of the SCORES Green Bay, for unpaid royalties in the amount of $80,000. The Defendants have not appeared and Plaintiffs have filed a motion for judgment by default. A motion for default judgement was granted and judgement was entered on November 26, 2019. The Company has found real property owned by the Defendant and we are in the process of attaching same. We filed an exemplified copy of the default judgment with the State Court in Wisconsin, to collect licensing fees. A judgment was docketed on June 12, 2020 in Manitowoc County, WI for $82,330.34. The real property is valued at approximately $97,000 but the Wisconsin Homestead Act allows the debtor to exempt as much as $75,000 of equity. There is also a prior mortgage and tax lien totaling approximately $45,000. We have therefore ceased attempts to collect on the judgment because there is no remaining equity left in the real property.

On April 20, 2018, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against The Cadillac Lounge LLC and Dick Shappy, the former licensee of SCORES Rhode Island for unpaid royalty fees. The action was settled for $50,000 and has been paid in full during the 2nd quarter 2018.

On April 25, 2018, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against South East Show Clubs LLC and Michael Tomkovich, the license of SCORES Jacksonville and SCORES Savannah, for unpaid royalties in the amount of $60,000. The action was settled and has been paid in full during the 4th quarter of 2018.

On August 3, 2018, the Company and its subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Silver Bourbon, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendant utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in New Orleans, Louisiana. In this action, the Company seeks damages for breach of contract in the amount of $145,500. The parties were in the process of negotiating a settlement but then the club permanently closed after it lost its lease and was forced to close in March of 2020 due to the global pandemic. We have therefore ceased all attempts to collect this debt.

On July 13, 2018, Company and its subsidiary SLC, filed an action against Manhattan Fashions, LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. Defendant utilized the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with its ownership and operation of an adult entertainment club located in Harvey, Louisiana. In this action, the Company sought damages for breach of contract in the amount of $84,000. Defendant did not appear, and On February 6, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s motion for default judgment. The parties were in the process of negotiating a settlement agreement but then ceased all attempts to settle this matter after the club was forced to permanently close in March of 2020 due to the global pandemic. We have therefore ceased

On September 5, 2019, the Company together with its subsidiary SLC filed a civil action in Supreme Court of New York, New York County against Scores Alabama. A cease and desist letter was sent. The Company finally entered into a license agreement as of March 5, 2020 with Cheetah Club, LLC for a club located in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Company had been in the process of negotiating a license agreement with an adult entertainment club that started using the “Scores” name and trademark in connection with an adult entertainment club located in Huntsville, Alabama without a proper licensing agreement in place. The Company’s subsidiary, SLC, ended up entering into a license agreement in March of 2020.

In July 2018, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in the Voronina litigation, and in August 2018, the Court entered an order dismissing the plaintiff’s claims against the Defendants with prejudice. Metropolitan, loaned the Company an aggregate of $770,000 to enable the Company to make the payments called for by the Agreement.

As previously reported, in February 2017, the Company entered into settlement agreements (each, a “Royalty Settlement Agreement”) with Star Light, Swan, IMO and Robert M. Gans. Robert M. Gans is the owner of a majority of the equity of each of aforementioned Licensees. Pursuant to the Royalty Settlement Agreements, the Company forgave the repayment of a certain portion of unpaid, past-due royalties in return for the respective Licensees’ agreements to pay the remainder (the “Royalty Settlement Amount”) of the unpaid royalties, plus interest, to the Company. The Royalty Settlement Amount for each Licensee was represented by a promissory note, and Robert M. Gans guaranteed the payment of each Licensee’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

The Licensees did not remain current with respect to their obligations under the Royalty Settlement Agreements, and the Company did not call upon Robert M. Gans to honor his guarantees. The past due amounts under the Royalty Settlement Agreements aggregated $382,259 (the “Aggregate Royalty Amount”) as of December 1, 2018. As of such date, the Company, the Licensees, Metropolitan and Robert M. Gans entered into a Settlement and Offset Agreement (the “Offset Agreement”) pursuant to which the Aggregate Royalty Amount was offset against the Voronina Amount, thereby reducing the amount owed by the Company to Metropolitan to $408,546 (the “Net Voronina Amount”). The Net Voronina Amount is payable pursuant to a promissory note (the “Voronina Note”), which bears simple interest at the rate of 4% per annum, in 86 consecutive monthly installments of $5,000, and a final installment of $1,370, with the initial installment due and payable on January 1, 2022 (or the first business day thereafter). The Company may prepay the Voronina Note at any time, in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The Offset Agreement also provides for the immediate termination of the Royalty Settlement Agreements and the related promissory notes and guarantees.

On January 29, 2020, an individual referred to as Jane Doe, the Plaintiff, filed a civil suit in in the Circuit Court of the 13^th Judicial Circuit, in the State of Florida, Hillsborough County, against the Company, its subsidiary, Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”), and several other defendants.  Plaintiff’s Complaint details the somber circumstances surround the illegal actions of a non-party, who pled guilty to certain crimes against Plaintiff that were committed at a club known as Scores Tampa.  Plaintiff now seeks to hold the Company and its subsidiary, among other defendants, liable in connection with the non-party’s illegal activity by asserting causes of action for negligence, vicarious liability and unjust enrichment.  Initially, prior counsel moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint in lieu of filing Answers.  A motion to dismiss was submitted because the Court lacks personal jurisdiction under Florida’s Long-Arm Statute and Due Process Requirements because neither the Company or its subsidiary had minimum contacts with Florida; nor was their a benefited conferred upon them.  The Court wrongfully denied the motion to dismiss.  The case is in the deposition stage of discovery.  A motion for summary judgment will be submitted because neither the Company or its subsidiary were involved in the day-to-day operations of Scores Tampa, or in fact involved in the operations of Scores Tampa at all.  Other than the Company licensing the Scores trademark and other intellectual property to Scores Tampa, pursuant to a 2010 license agreement, neither the Company or its affiliate operated, conducted, engaged in, or managed Scores Tampa, making it vicariously liable for the non-party’s criminal actions.

On July 15, 2019, plaintiff Jeremy Green, a former consultant to Swan Media Group, Inc (“SMG”), commenced an action in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York against Scores Holding Co., Inc., Scores Media Group LLC, Scores Digital Gaming LLC (“SDG”) and individual defendants Robert Gans and Charilaos Yioves seeking to recover from all defendants under various theories of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppels, fraudulent inducement and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing.

By Order dated March 18, 2020, the Court dismissed all the causes of action except for the breach of contract claim pertaining to Greene’s consultancy agreement with SMG (First Cause of Action) and the unjust enrichment claim relating to ScoresCasino.com (Second Cause of Action). The parties have exchange documents and information relating to the remaining causes of action and depositions were held in April, July, August and November, 2021.  The parties do not expect expert disclosures will be necessary as neither side sees the need for it.

On March 4, 2022, the parties appeared before Judge Stanton for a status conference where the parties discussed a briefing schedule for summary judgment motions and the potential for trial on certain issues.

On April 17, 2021, in an action entitled Jessica Hall v. Scores Holding Company, Inc., et al, filed in Federal Court, Southern District, the Plaintiff claims that, while she worked at a gentlemen’s club located in New York, New York and commonly known as Scores NY, she was discriminated and retaliated against because of her race in violation of both Federal and State law. A motion for default judgment was denied, and Plaintiff was recently granted permission to file and serve an Amended Complaint. Accordingly on February 4, 2022 a First Amendment Complaint was filed. On March 4, 2022  an Answer to the First Amendment Complaint was filed On March 18, 2022 the Defendants filed A First Demand for Interrogatories Upon the Defendant. We have made demands for discovery from the Plaintiff and motioned for summary judgement seeking dismissal of all claims, which is pending. The likelihood of success on the merits is negligible because the Company, as simply the owner of the “Scores” brand and trademarks, did not own, operate or otherwise control Scores NY or employ, manage, or otherwise control Plaintiff’s employment during the period October 23, 2009 until June 18, 2019.

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