Scores Holding Co., Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Basis for presentation

 

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

 

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

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2012.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred cumulative losses totaling $(6,594,938), a working capital deficit of $(370,851) and net operating loss of $2,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  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 and to take on operations in larger cities with greater demand for our product through acquisitions.   There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.   If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.

 

 

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company earned royalties and merchandise revenues from four licensees who are unrelated to management of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, revenues earned from royalties from these unrelated licensees amounted to $107,173 and there was $87,687 due and outstanding as of March 31, 2012.  The Company’s related New York affiliate commenced operations in May 2009 and revenue amounted to $52,116 during the three month 2012 period; there was $-0- due and outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

 

During the three month 2012 and 2011 periods our Baltimore licensees accounted for 21% and 26% and our Chicago licensee accounted for 16% and 17% of our total revenues, respectively.   Our New Orleans licensee accounted for 19% and 11% and our Tampa licensee accounted for 11% and 14% of our total revenues for the three month periods ended 2012 and 2011 respectively.  Our related New York licensee accounted for 33% and 31% of our total revenues for the three month periods ended 2012 and 2011 respectively. The Company’s Swan Media Group, Inc., Scoreslive.com licensee website went live during 2011 and is presently operating in beta mode; it has accounted for -0- amount of our total royalty revenues to date.

 

Revenue recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share data for both the 2012 period and the 2011 period are based on net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.  Outstanding stock options are not part of this basis as they are anti-dilutive.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Note 3. Related-Party Transactions

 

Transactions with Common ownership affiliates

 

On January 27, 2009, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with its affiliate through common ownership I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”) for the use of the Scores brand name “Scores New York”.  Robert M. Gans is the majority owner of IMO and is also the Company’s majority shareholder.  IMO paid for various years of administrative costs related to accounting, business development, insurance and legal services for the Company, which a portion thereof in the amount of $236,866 remains a payable to this related party as of March 31, 2012.  The Company also leases office space directly from Westside Realty of New York, Inc. (WSR), the owner of the West 27^th Street Building.  The majority owner of WSR is Robert M. Gans.  Between January 1, and March 31, 2009, the monthly rent including overhead was $5,000, since April 1, 2009, the monthly rent was reduced to $2,500 per month.  The Company owed WSR $55,000 in unpaid rents as of March 31, 2012.

 

 

Note 4.   Intangible Assets

 

Trademark

 

In connection with the acquisition of SLC, the Company acquired the trademark to the name “SCORES”. This trademark had a net recorded value at March 31, 2012 of $ -0-. This trademark has been registered in the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Community. The trademark is being amortized by straight line methods over an estimated useful life of ten years. The Company’s trademark having an infinite useful life by its definition is being amortized over ten years due to the difficult New York legal environment for which the related showcase adult club is operating.  The Company recorded $ -0- and $30,576 of amortization expense, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

  

Note 5. Licensees

 

The Company has five license agreements which were obtained between 2003 and 2010; Stone Park Entertainment Group, Inc. known as “Scores Chicago”, Club 2000 Eastern Avenue Inc. known as “Scores Baltimore”, Silver Bourbon, Inc., I.M Operating LLC known as “IMO” and Tampa Food and Entertainment Inc.

 

“IMO’s” members are our majority shareholder, Robert M. Gans, and Secretary and Board of Director, Howard Rosenbluth hence making “IMO” a related party. The building occupied by IMO is owned by Westside Realty of New York Inc., of which the majority owner is Robert M. Gans. The club accounted for 33% and 32% of our royalty revenues during the first three months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the 2012 three month period, the Company recorded $53,024 of deferred revenue related to “IMO” royalties and collected at March 31, 2012.

 

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $7,500 and $7,500 respectively.

 

The Company currently leases office space from the Westside Realty of New York which is owned and operated by Robert Gans our majority shareholder, for $2,500 a month.

 

On March 22, 2010, Russell Whelchel, and on March 16, 2011, Charles Braden, who performed work as hair and makeup stylists at the Scores New York nightclub located at 536 West 28^th Street, New York, NY, each filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the S.D.N.Y. seeking to recover under federal and New York labor laws minimum wages, unlawful deductions, misappropriated gratuities and other wages, with interest, for the period of their “employment” with Scores New York. Joseph Bovine filed a similar action against the Company in November 2011. Although the Company disputed that it was an employer of the plaintiffs and denied all allegations, it settled these matters pursuant to a settlement and release agreement dated February 21, 2012. These matters were settled out of court and the Company was not required to make any payment pursuant to the terms of the settlement and release agreement.

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

On March 30, 2007, the Company, along with several of its affiliates, were named in a suit in connection with an alleged assault by an employee of an affiliate and one of the Company’s stockholders and former officer and director. This matter was settled for $8,500 on February 28, 2012 in Kings County Supreme Court. This matter was settled out of court and the Company was not required to make any payment pursuant to the terms of the settlement and release agreement.

 

 

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

 

Note 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and determined that no such events have occurred that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

  

 

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. Since 2003, we have been in the business of licensing the “Scores” trademarks and other intellectual property to fine gentlemen’s nightclubs with adult entertainment in the United States. There are five such clubs currently operating under the Scores name, in New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Tampa and New Orleans.

 

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

 

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

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011.

 

Revenues:

 

Revenues increased to $159,289 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $131,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  

 

Revenues from the New York Club amounted to $52,116 and $41,414 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.  Revenues from our Chicago nightclub increased fifteen percent (15%) to $25,590 for the three month ended March 31, 2012 compared to $22,312 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, while revenues from our Baltimore club decreased four percent (4%) to $33,582 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $34,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenues from our New Orleans club increased one-hundred percent (100%) to $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenues from our Tampa club increased zero (-0- %) percent to $18,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

General and Administrative Expenses:

 

General and administrative expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011from $163,484 to $161,878.  Costs related to administrative expenses decreased approximately by $1,606. Legal expenses attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $50,477 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $60,702 during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

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

 

Net income (Loss):

 

Our net income was $2,906 or $0.00 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a net (loss) of ($31,895) or ($0.00) per share for the three months ended March31, 2011.  The decrease in operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was a result of an increase in Royalty Revenue during the three month period.

 

Net income (loss) per share data for both the March 31, 2012 and the March 31, 2011 three month periods is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash:

 

At March 31, 2012, we had $42,353 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $8,930 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011.

 

Operating Activities:

 

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $32,928 and $28,192 respectively. The increases in cash are related to decreases in licensee receivable and increases in the deferred revenue, between the 2012 and 2011 periods.

 

Financing Activities:

 

During the March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 three month periods, our New York affiliate paid approximately $ -0- and $53,028, respectively, in cash for web development, insurance premiums and consulting services for the Company.  As of March 31, 2012, we owed $55,000 in rent to our Westside Realty affiliate and $236,886 to our New York affiliate.

 

Future Capital Requirements:

 

We have incurred losses since the inception of our business. Since our inception, we have been dependent on acquisitions and funding from private lenders and investors to conduct operations. As of March 31, 2012 we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,594,938), with total current assets of $258,100 and total current liabilities of $628,951 or negative working capital of $(370,851). As of December 31, 2011, we had total current assets of $254,259 and total current liabilities of $628,511 or negative working capital of $(374,252). 

 

We will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of or investments in businesses, products and technologies that are complimentary to ours. These may require the use of cash, which would require us to seek financing. We may sell equity or debt securities or seek credit facilities to fund acquisition-related or other business costs. Sales of equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also need to raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our adult entertainment trademark licensing business.

This information has been omitted as the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company.

 

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 Accounting Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure 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. 

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the periods covered by this report, in order to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we have taken numerous steps to address the underlying causes of the internal control deficiencies, primarily through the development and implementation of policies, improved processes and documented procedures and the hiring of additional accounting personnel with technical accounting experience. We continue to implement these controls and changes in order to address the material weakness identified in the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter 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

 

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

 

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