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. 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, 2023.
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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit totaling $
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 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.
Contract Liabilities arise when the company collects cash from a customer, however if steady collection is not considered probable under ASC 606, the revenue is deferred until collection becomes probable or the contract is terminated.
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 received royalty revenues from

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There are times when cash may exceed $250,000, the FDIC insured limit. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the uninsured balance amounted to $-
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 September 30, 2024, there are
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of trade receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and related party payable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
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
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
F-8
SCORES HOLDING CO., Inc and Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures about certain income statement expense captions for public business entities. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and does not expect them to have a material impact.
In 2025, the FASB also issued ASUs on internal-use software, government grants received by business entities, derivatives scope refinements and revenue scope clarification for share-based noncash consideration from a customer, interim reporting, and codification improvements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures and does not expect them to have a material impact.
All other 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.

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 13th 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
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.

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 17, 2024, there are six such clubs operating under the Scores name, in Chicago, Illinois; Tampa, Florida; 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.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 (“the 2024 three-month period”) Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 (“the 2023 three-month period”).
Revenues:
Revenues remained the same at $73,500 for the 2024 three-month period and $73,500 for the 2023 three-month period.
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 Expense
Total other expenses remained the same at $0 for the 2024 three-month period and the 2023 three-month period.
General and Administrative Expenses:
General and administrative expenses decreased slightly during the 2024 and 2023 three-month period to $44,829 from $53,749 respectively due to the decrease in accounting services, SEC filing fees and elimination of the insurance policy. Legal expenses, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses, attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $355 for 2024 and $5,122 for 2023.
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.
3
Net Income:
Our net income $28,671 or $0.000 per share for the 2024 three-month period as compared to our net income $19,751 or $0.000 per share for the 2023 three-month period. This slight increase in our net income in 2024 was due to the elimination of the insurance policy and some additional accounting services.
Net income per share data for both the 2024 three-month period and the 2023 three-month period is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 (“the 2024 nine-month period”) Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 (“the 2023 nine-month period”).
Revenues:
Revenues decreased to $220,500 for the 2024 nine-month period from $276,500 for the 2023 nine-month period. Revenues primarily decreased as we recognized previously deferred income under ASC 606 in the prior year.
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 Expense
Total other expenses decreased to $0 for the 2024 nine-month period from $(587) from the 2023 nine-month period. Total other expenses for the 2024 nine month-period included interest expense of $0, as the loan has been repaid and $587, for the 2023 nine month-period.
General and Administrative Expenses:
General and administrative expenses decreased significantly during the 2024 and 2023 nine-month period to $137,060 from $228,049, respectively due to the decrease in accounting services, SEC filing fees and elimination of the insurance policy. Legal expenses, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses, attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $9,456 for 2024 and $10,617 for 2023.
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:
Our net income $83,440 or $0.001 per share for the 2024 nine-month period as compared to our net income $47,864 or $0.000 per share for the 2023 nine-month period. This increase in our net income in 2024 was due to the elimination of the insurance policy and some additional accounting services.
Net income per share data for both the 2024 nine-month period and the 2023 nine-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 September 30, 2024, we had $75,649 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $46,624 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023.
Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2024 and 2023 nine-month period was $29,025 and $50,033, respectively. The decrease in cash is related to the payment of monies owed on the related party payable.
Financing Activities:
Net cash used in financing activities for the 2024 nine-month period was $0 and net cash used in financing activities for the 2023 nine-month period was $0.
Investing Activities:
Net cash provided by investing activities for the 2024 nine-month period was $0 and net cash used in investing activities for the 2023 nine-month period was $0.
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 September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,782,038). As of September 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $115,399 and total current liabilities of $246,634 or working capital deficit of $131,235. As of December 31, 2023, we had total current assets of $109,624 and total current liabilities of $310,799 or working capital deficit of $201,175. The decrease in the amount of working capital deficit has been primarily attributable to the payment of the related party payable.
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.

Statement of Forward-Looking Information
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking”, including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s shareholders. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of the Company. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (1) the Company’s ability to finance its future working capital.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
(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 September30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the Company’s quarter ended September 30, 2024 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 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 13th 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.
8
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.
