Scores Holding Co., Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes To Condensed 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 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 exploits the “SCORES” name and trademark for licensing options.

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

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiary. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has incurred cumulative losses (since the inception of its business) totaling $(6,389,147) and a working capital deficit of $(153,738). The Company had net income of $169,607 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to develop business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the continued licensing of its brand with its current and new operators. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company earned royalties and merchandise revenues from five licensees who are unrelated to management of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenues earned from royalties from these unrelated licensees amounted to $425,824 and there was $123,196 due and outstanding as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s related New York affiliate commenced operations in May 2009 and royalty revenue amounted to $116,985 during the nine-month 2013 period; there was $-0- due and outstanding as of September 30, 2013.

	F-4

During the nine-month 2013 and 2012 periods our Baltimore licensees accounted for 20% and 20% and our Chicago licensee accounted for 20% and 18% of our total revenues, respectively. Our New Orleans licensee accounted for 17% and 18% and our Tampa licensee accounted for 17% and 13% of our total revenues for the nine-month periods ended 2013 and 2012 respectively. Our related New York licensee accounted for 22% and 30% of our total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The Scoreslive.com licensee website went live during 2011 and began accruing royalties in the second quarter 2012.

Revenue recognition

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

Principles of consolidation

The condensed 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 Per Share

Net income per share data for both the nine-month 2013 period and the nine-month 2012 period are based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012 the outstanding stock options are not part of this basis as the exercise price exceeds the tradable value of the underlying stock. As of September 30, 2013, there are no outstanding stock options.

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

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2013-11 on “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

All other 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.

Note 3. Related-Party Transactions

Transactions with Common ownership affiliates

On January 24, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with AYA International, Inc. (“AYA”) granting AYA the right to use our trademarks in connection with its online video chat website, “Scoreslive.com.” The agreement with AYA provides for royalty payments to be made directly to the Company at the rate of 4.99% of weekly gross revenues from all revenue sources within the AYA website. On December 21, 2009, AYA transferred all of its rights in Scoreslive.com and in its licensing agreement with us to Swan Media Group, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation whose majority owner is Robert M. Gans, who is also the majority shareholder and chief executive officer of the Company.

	F-5

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 $42,130 and $144,115 remains a payable to this related party as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company also leases office space directly from Westside Realty of New York, Inc. (WSR), the owner of the West 27th Street Building. The majority owner of WSR is Robert M. Gans. Since April 1, 2009, the monthly rent has been $2,500 per month including overhead costs. The Company owed WSR $100,000 and $77,500 in unpaid rents as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a management services agreement with Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc., pursuant to which Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. provides management and other services to the Company, including the services of Robert M. Gans and Howard Rosenbluth to act as executive officers of the Company. In consideration of the services, the Company pays Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. a fee in the amount of $30,000 per year. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon ten days’ written notice. Mr. Gans is the sole owner of Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. The Company owed Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. $22,500 and $0 in unpaid management services as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

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 September 30, 2013 of $ -0-. This trademark has been registered in the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Community. The trademark has been completely 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 was amortized over ten years due to the difficult New York legal environment for which the related showcase adult club is operating. This intangible asset was fully amortized as of September 30, 2011.

Note 5. Licensees

The Company has seven license agreements which were obtained between 2003 and 2013; 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”, Tampa Food and Entertainment Inc., Norm A Properties, LLC and Swan Media Group, Inc. (formerly AYA International, Inc.).

“IMO’s” members are our majority shareholder, Robert M. Gans, and Secretary and 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 22% and 30% of our royalty revenues during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Mr. Gans is also the majority owner of Swan Media Group, Inc., which accounted for 5% and 1% of our royalty revenues during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

Note 6. Settlement/Note Receivables

On September 26, 2011, the Company, Richard Goldring and Elliot Osher (Goldring and Osher were formerly two of the Company’s principal shareholders) (collectively the “Defendants”) and Sari Diaz et al. (the “Plaintiffs”) entered into a Court approved Joint Stipulation of Settlement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) relating to a purported class action and collective action on behalf of all tipped employees filed by Plaintiffs, pursuant to which Defendants agreed to make a settlement payment of $450,000 to resolve and settle awards to Plaintiffs and related Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. Additionally, the Defendants agreed to pay the employer portion of payroll taxes on approximately $300,000 in distributions, approximately $15,600.

In a settlement payment agreement among the Company, Goldring and Osher, the Company agreed to advance all of the Defendants’ obligations under the Settlement Agreement and to pay $64,500 of Goldring’s and Osher’s legal fees to their designated attorney. In consideration for the Company’s payment of these obligations, Goldring and Osher agreed, jointly and severally, to pay the Company $440,000 plus interest at the rate of 5% per annum on the unpaid balance of such amount, in 40 equal monthly payments of $11,965 per month. To secure his obligations under this agreement, Goldring agreed to assign to the Company a portion of his interests in a promissory note dated September 14, 2009 in the principal amount of $2,400,000 made by a third party to Goldring (the “Note”) and to grant the Company a security interest in the Note, which will remain in effect until his obligations under this settlement payment agreement are paid in full. As of September 30, 2013, the settlement receivable is $195,974.

	F-6

On December 29, 2011 the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Goldring for $30,000 plus interest at the rate of 5% per annum on the unpaid balance. To secure his obligations under this agreement, Goldring agreed to assign to the Company a portion of his interests in a promissory note dated September 14, 2009 in the principal amount of $2,400,000 made by a third party to Goldring (the “Note”) and to grant the Company a security interest in the Note, which will remain in effect until his obligations under this settlement payment agreement are paid in full. Three payments of $11,965 are due beginning March 2015. As of September 30, 2013, this promissory note balance is $32,737.

Note 7. Settlement/Note Payable

As discussed in the Note regarding the settlement receivable it should be noted that Mr. Gans (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and majority stockholder) advanced $560,151 to settle the Sari Diaz et. al. litigation and fund the $30,000 loan to Mr. Goldring. As of September 30, 2013, $298,282 is outstanding.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company records $2,500 a month as rent, overhead, and services due to Metropolitan Lumber Hardware Building Supplies, Inc. for services rendered by the management of the Company. Mr. Gans is the sole owner of Metropolitian Lumber Hardware Building Supplies, Inc.

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 June 14, 2011, Christina Maldonado, a former front door receptionist/coat checker at Scores New York, located in New York NY filed a civil lawsuit against the Company and IMO alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law, New York City Human Rights Law and the New York City Administrative Code, based on allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The lawsuit further alleges that both the Company and IMO were her employers. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for alleged loss of past and future earnings and emotional distress and humiliation. The Company disputes that that it was an employer of the plaintiff and categorically denies all allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The Company responded to the complaint and later filed an amended complaint and asserted a cross claim against IMO. The Company is vigorously defending itself in this litigation and does not expect that the outcome will be material.

In mid-March 2010, the Company was named by Nichole Hughes in a complaint filed with the SCNY. Ms. Hughes sued 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 was granted leave by the court to withdraw from representation in January 2013. Plaintiff failed to appoint new counsel or further participate in the case and the case was dismissed on May 20, 2013.

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 lawsuit 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. 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 the Company’s former affiliate, Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("EMS"), an entity owned by two of the Company’s former directors and employees. After engaging in discovery and other pre-trial activities the two sides agreed to a confidential settlement on February 22, 2013 and the case has been dismissed. The settlement does not have a material outcome on the business of the Company.

On March 14, 2013, Miki Yamada, a former bartender at the Scores New York nightclub located at 536 West 28th Street, New York, NY filed charges against the Company and IMO with the EEOC claiming violations of Title VII based upon alleged sexual harassment, discrimination based on gender and unlawful retaliation. Ms. Yamada also delivered a draft civil complaint to the Company containing similar allegations. Although the Company disputed the issues of liability and damages asserted by Ms. Yamada, the Company and the other respondents settled these matters for a payment of $90,000 to Ms. Yamada pursuant to a settlement and release agreement dated April 30, 2013. These matters were settled out of court.

On June 14, 2013, Elizabeth Shiflett, a former cocktail waitress, filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the S.D.N.Y. alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), as amended, the New York State Human Rights Law (“NYSHRL”) and the New York City Human Rights Law (“NYCHRL”) based upon allegations of sexual discrimination, creating a hostile work environment based upon plaintiff’s sex and race and unlawful retaliation against plaintiff. The lawsuit further alleges that at all material times the Company was the employer of the plaintiff. The lawsuit had been preceded by a Determination of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) on January 25, 2013 that there was reasonable cause to believe that the Company had violated Title VII as a result of the complained-of conduct. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that the practices complained of violated Title VII, the NYSHRL and the NYCHRL, an injunction enjoining the Company from engaging in future unlawful acts of discrimination, harassment and retaliation, unspecified compensatory damages for plaintiff’s alleged loss of past and future earnings, emotional distress, humiliation and loss of reputation, punitive damages as a result of the Company’s alleged disregard of plaintiff’s protected civil rights, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company disputes that it was an employer of the plaintiff and categorically denies all allegations of sexual discrimination, sexual and racial harassment and retaliation. The Company will vigorously defend itself in this litigation and does not expect that the outcome will be material.

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 9. Subsequent Events

Pursuant to an oral arrangement, in September 2013 we granted an exclusive, non-transferable license for the use of the “Scores Atlantic City” name to Star Light Events LLC (“Star Light”) for its gentlemen’s club in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Royalties under this license are payable at the rate of $10,000 per month, commencing in April 2014, and the license is for a term of five years, with five successive five year renewal terms. This oral arrangement was memorialized in a written license agreement between SLC and Star Light effective December 9, 2013. Pursuant to the written agreement, we also granted Star Light a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to sell certain licensed products bearing our trademarks. Starlight will purchase for the licensed products from us or our affiliates at our cost plus 25%. Robert M. Gans, our President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the majority owner of Star Light Events LLC.

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a license agreement with its subsidiary, SLC, granting SLC the exclusive right to use certain trademarks, including the “Scores” stylized trademark, in connection with certain goods and services. The grant of license also includes the right to issue sublicenses to third parties, subject to the approval of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, SLC shall pay to the Company a royalty, as determined by the Company, such as a percentage of net revenue or a flat fee, received in connection with the provision of services and/or sale of goods using the trademarks. SLC may also pay a percentage, as determined by the Company, of all royalties received by SLC under any sublicense agreements. SLC and any sublicensees are to adhere to quality standards as set by the Company, and the Company has the right to inspect all facilities and approve all promotional and marketing materials as well as any related packaging. The agreement has a one-year term with automatic one-year renewals, subject to either party’s election to terminate the agreement at least thirty days prior to such renewal. The Company also has the right to terminate the agreement, with immediate effect, upon the occurrence of certain events. The license is subject to any pre-existing license agreements as of the date of the agreement.

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. We adopted our current name in July 2002. Since 2003, we have been in the business of licensing the “Scores” trademarks and other intellectual property to fine gentlemen’s nightclubs with adult entertainment in the United States. There are six such clubs currently operating under the Scores name, in New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Chicago, Tampa and New Orleans. The Atlantic City club commenced operations in September 2013.

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 club (the “New York Club”) under the Scores name in May 2009. Throughout this report, we refer to the New York Club and the Atlantic City club as our affiliates, 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 and the Atlantic City 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 September 30, 2013 (“the 2013 three-month period”) Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 (“the 2012 three-month period”).

Revenues:

Revenues increased to $187,861 for the 2013 three-month period from $181,774 for the 2012 three-month period.

Revenues from the New York Club decreased twenty-one percent (21%) to $39,584 as compared to $50,370 for the 2013 and 2012 three-month periods, respectively. Revenues from our Chicago nightclub increased seventeen percent (17%) to $38,970 for the 2013 three-month period from $33,298 from the 2012 three-month period, while revenues from our Baltimore club decreased three percent (3%) to $35,669 for the 2013 three-month period from $36,589 for the 2012 three-month period and revenues from our New Orleans club remained the same at $30,000 for the 2013 and 2012 three-month period. Revenue from our Tampa club remained the same at $30,000 for the 2013 and 2012 three-month period. Revenue from our Scoreslive.com licensee increased seven hundred ninety-nine percent (799%) to $13,638 for the 2013 three-month period from $1,517 for the 2012 three-month period, largely as a result of increased marketing efforts.

Revenues under our license agreements vary from a flat monthly fee to a percentage of revenues on a monthly basis.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased during the 2013 three-month period to $122,768 from $112,856 during the 2012 three-month period. General and administrative expenses increased approximately by $9,912 from 2013 to 2012, which increase can largely be attributed to the hiring of a part time accountant. Legal expenses attributable to ongoing litigation amounted to $42,033 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 and $26,250 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012.

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:

Our net income was $64,420 or $0.000 per share for the 2013 three-month period compared to net income of $67,840 or $0.000 per share for the 2012 three-month period. The decrease in net income for the 2013 three-month period was a result of the cost associated with the services of a consultant during the three-month period.

Net income per share data for both the 2013 three-month period and the 2012 three-month period is based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.

Revenues increased to $542,809 for the 2013 nine-month period from $513,873 for the 2012 nine-month period.

Revenues under our license agreements vary from a flat monthly fee to a percentage of revenues on a monthly basis.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses decreased during the 2013 nine-month period to $370,966 from $403,898 during the 2012 nine-month period. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately by $32,932 from 2013 to 2012, which decrease can largely be attributed to the reduction of the Company’s business development expenses. Legal expenses attributable to ongoing litigation amounted from $145,946 in the 2013 nine-month period to $116,982 in the 2012 nine-month period.

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:

Our net income was $169,607 or $0.001 per share for the 2013 nine-month period compared to a net income of $126,749 or $0.001 per share for the 2012 nine-month period. The increase in net operating income for the 2013 six-month period was a result of an increase in royalty revenue and decrease in administrative expenses during the nine-month period.

Net income per share data for both the 2013 nine-month period and the 2012 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

Cash:

At September 30, 2013, we had $66,448 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $59,139 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012.

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was $89,334 and $23,104 respectively. The increases in cash are related to decrease in deferred revenue, between the 2013 and 2012 periods.

Financing Activities:

As of September 30, 2013, we owed $100,000 in rent to our Westside Realty affiliate, $42,130 to our New York affiliate and $22,500 to our Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. 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 September 30, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,389,147), with total current assets of $345,840 and total current liabilities of $499,578 or negative working capital of $(153,738). As of December 31, 2012, we had total current assets of $270,341 and total current liabilities of $572,520 or negative working capital of $(302,179). The decrease in total current liabilities can largely be attributed to payments made on a loan owing to Mr. Gans in connection with funds advanced by Mr. Gans for the settlement of the Siri Diaz et. al. litigation referenced in Note 7 to the Company’s financial statements.

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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.

The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

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 the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and Chief Financial 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

There were no 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

On June 14, 2013, Elizabeth Shiflett, a former cocktail waitress, filed a civil lawsuit against us in the S.D.N.Y. alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”), as amended, the New York State Human Rights Law (“NYSHRL”) and the New York City Human Rights Law (“NYCHRL”) based upon allegations of sexual discrimination, creating a hostile work environment based upon plaintiff’s sex and race and unlawful retaliation against plaintiff. The lawsuit further alleges that at all material times we were the employer of the plaintiff. The lawsuit had been preceded by a Determination of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”) on January 25, 2013 that there was reasonable cause to believe that we had violated Title VII as a result of the complained-of conduct. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that the practices complained of violated Title VII, the NYSHRL and the NYCHRL, an injunction enjoining us from engaging in future unlawful acts of discrimination, harassment and retaliation, unspecified compensatory damages for plaintiff’s alleged loss of past and future earnings, emotional distress, humiliation and loss of reputation, punitive damages as a result of our alleged disregard of plaintiff’s protected civil rights, and attorneys’ fees and costs. We dispute that we were an employer of the plaintiff and categorically deny all allegations of sexual discrimination, sexual and racial harassment and retaliation. We will vigorously defend ourselves in this litigation and do not expect that the outcome will be material.

On March 14, 2013, Miki Yamada, a former bartender at the Scores New York nightclub located at 536 West 28th Street, New York, NY filed charges against us and IM Operating LLC (“IMO”) with the EEOC claiming violations of Title VII based upon alleged sexual harassment, discrimination based on gender and unlawful retaliation. Ms. Yamada also delivered a draft civil complaint to us containing similar allegations. Although we disputed the issues of liability and damages asserted by Ms. Yamada, we settled these matters for a payment of $90,000 to Ms. Yamada pursuant to a settlement and release agreement dated April 30, 2013. These matters were settled out of court.

On June 14, 2011, Christina Maldonado, a former front door receptionist/coat checker at Scores New York, located in New York NY filed a civil lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against us and IMO alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law, New York City Human Rights Law and the New York City Administrative Code, based on allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. The lawsuit further alleges that both we and IMO were her employers. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for alleged loss of past and future earnings and emotional distress and humiliation. We dispute that that we were an employer of the plaintiff and categorically deny all allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment. We responded to the complaint and later filed an amended complaint and asserted a cross claim against IMO. We are vigorously defending ourselves in this litigation and do not expect that the outcome will be material.

In mid-March 2010, we were named by Nichole Hughes in a complaint filed with the SCNY. Ms. Hughes sued 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 was granted leave by the court to withdraw from representation in January 2013. Plaintiff failed to appoint new counsel or further participate in the case and the case was dismissed on May 20, 2013.

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 lawsuit 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. 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 our former affiliate, Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("EMS"), an entity owned by two of our former directors and employees. After engaging in discovery and other pre-trial activities the two sides agreed to a confidential settlement on February 22, 2013 and the case has been dismissed. The settlement does not have a material outcome on us.
