Note 7.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company records $7,500 a month for services rendered by Metropolitan on behalf of the Company. The Company incurred management fees of $67,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Mr. Gans is the sole owner of Metropolitan.

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 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, Robert Gans, Mark S. Yackow and Howard Rosenbluth. Pending Court approval on May 12, 2023, a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice was signed discontinuing all claims against Club Azure LLC.

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. They agreed to pay the arrears and then cease using the Scores brand by March 31, 2023. On April 11, 2023, the Company agreed to terminate the licensing agreement and settle this matter for $45,000, which was paid on May 23, 2023.

In an action entitled Jane Doe v. Scores Holding Company, Inc., Scores Licensing Corp., Tampa Food and Hospitality Corp., d/b/a Scores Tampa, et al, filed in the Circuit Court of the 13^th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough County, in the State of Florida, the Plaintiff states causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, battery, unjust enrichment, and sexual abuse of a minor stemming from allegations that she was a victim of sex trafficking through the Scores adult entertainment club located in Tampa, Florida (“Scores Tampa”). A motion to dismiss for, inter alia, lack of personal jurisdiction was denied. The undersigned was then substituted in as counsel in July of 2020 for the Company and its’ subsidiary, SLC. After completing discovery, the parties participated in a court ordered mediation and non-binding arbitration. Because the parties were not able to settle this matter, they participated in an arbitration hearing wherein both the Company and SLC argued that the case should not continue against them because the Company, as simply the owner of the “Scores” brand and trademarks, did not own, operate or otherwise control Scores Tampa or employ, manage, or otherwise control Plaintiff’s employment. The arbitrator found in favor of the Company and its’ subsidiary SLC; but, because the arbitration was non-binding, the case was set for trial. On the eve of trial, Plaintiff’s counsel sought and received permission from the Court to amend Plaintiff’s Complaint. They also indicated that they were not continuing their claims against the Company or SLC. Plaintiff then filed an Amended Complaint on July 19, 2023 that did not include the Company or SLC as defendants. As such, this legal proceeding is no longer pending against the Company or SLC.

Finally, in an action entitled Jessica Hall v. Scores Holding Company, Inc., et al, filed in Federal Court, Southern District of New York, the Plaintiff claims that, while she worked at an adult entertainment establishment located in New York, New Yor, 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 granted permission to file and serve an Amended Complaint. 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. Towards that end, a motion for summary judgment was fully submitted on behalf of the Company on June 24, 2022. Unfortunately, the Court denied the Company’s motion because Plaintiff had not been given the opportunity to depose any witnesses. All depositions have since been taken. On July 21, 2023 a settlement in principle was reached and an 86 day extension of time was granted by the court to file a dismissal order by 10/10/23 indicating SCRH and Harvey would each pay Jessica B Hall $6,000. On October 2, 2023 a settlement agreement was signed which was paid on October 5, 2023.

On January 21, 2022 the Company and “Scores Chicago” entered into a Settlement Agreement and Amendment to the Licensing Agreement agreeing to a one-time payment to settle arrears resulting from the Covid 19 pandemic and to change the monthly licensing fee to a flat rate. All other terms of the original agreement were to remain in effect.

On March 23, 2022 the Company and “Scores Las Vegas” entered into a First Amendment to the Scores Trademark Sublicense Agreement agreeing to a one-time payment to settle arrears resulting from the Covid 19 pandemic and to make a one-time payment for granting it an exclusive, non-transferable license for the use of certain Scores trademarks in its night club/restaurant for a period of twenty-five years. All other terms of the original agreement were to remain in effect.

On September 23, 2022, the Company and “Scores Sports Bar” entered into a First Amendment to Scores Sports Bar Service/Trademark License Agreement. Because of the impact the Covid 19 Pandemic had on the economy and the hospitality industry, certain benchmarks in the original licensing agreement became difficult to accomplish. Essentially the amendment extended the term of the original agreement, established a new timeframe for licensing fee payments and reduced the minimum number of new establishments to be opened to a more realistic amount given the economic effects of Covid 19.

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.
