Note 9. Subsequent Events
 
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.
 
Pursuant to an oral arrangement, in November 2013, the Company granted a license for the use of the “Scores Atlantic City” name to Star Light Events, LLC for its gentlemen’s club in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which opened in September 2013.  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.  The Company is currently in the process of preparing a written license agreement with respect to its arrangement with Star Light Events, LLC.  Robert M. Gans, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the majority owner of Star Light Events, LLC.
 
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.
