ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Organization and Background

Mills Music Trust (the “Trust”) was created by a Declaration of Trust dated December 3, 1964 (the “Declaration of Trust”), for the purpose of acquiring from Mills Music, Inc. (“Old Mills”), the rights to receive payment of a deferred contingent purchase price obligation (the “Contingent Portion”) payable to Old Mills. The obligation to pay the Contingent Portion arose as the result of the sale by Old Mills of its music and lyric copyright catalogue (the “Catalogue”) to a newly formed company pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated December 5, 1964 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The Contingent Portion amounts are currently payable by EMI Mills Music Inc. (“EMI”), the current owner and administrative entity for the copyrighted materials. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, payment of the Contingent Portion to the Trust continues until the end of the year in which the last copyright in the Catalogue expires and cannot be renewed.

HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. is the Corporate Trustee of the Trust (the “Corporate Trustee”) and Lee Eastman and Michael E. Reiss are the Individual Trustees of the Trust (the “Individual Trustees” and together with the Corporate Trustee, the “Trustees”).

Proceeds from Contingent Portion Payments

The Trust receives quarterly payments of the Contingent Portion from EMI and distributes the amounts it receives to the registered owners of Trust Certificates (the “Unit Holders”) representing interests in the Trust (the “Trust Units”), after payment of, or withholdings in connection with, expenses and liabilities of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides that these are the Trust’s sole responsibilities and that the Trust is prohibited from engaging in any business activities.

Payments that EMI makes of the Contingent Portion to the Trust are based on royalty income which the Catalogue generates and EMI collects. The Trust does not own the Catalogue or any copyrights or other intellectual property rights and is not responsible for collecting royalties in connection with the Catalogue. As the current owner and administrator of the Catalogue, EMI is obligated under the Asset Purchase Agreement to use its best efforts to collect all royalties, domestic and foreign, in connection with the Catalogue and to remit a portion of its royalty income to the Trust as its Contingent Portion payment obligation, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Calculation of the Contingent Portion

The amount of each payment of the Contingent Portion is based on a formula set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. For information regarding the calculation of the Contingent Portion and a related dispute between EMI and the Trust see “Calculation of Contingent Portion” under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Cash Distributions to Unit Holders

The Declaration of Trust provides for the distribution to the Unit Holders of all funds the Trust receives after payment of, or withholdings in connection with, expenses and liabilities of the Trust.

The Copyright Catalogue

The Catalogue is estimated to be composed of over 25,000 music titles (the “Copyrighted Songs”), of which approximately 1,600 produced royalty income in recent years. Based on information which EMI provided to the Trust, most of the royalty income generated by the Catalogue during recent years has been produced by a relatively small number of the Copyrighted Songs with copyrights established prior to 1964.

EMI has provided the Trust with a listing (the “2013 Listing”) of the top 50 earning songs in the Catalogue during the 2013 calendar year (the “Top 50 Songs”). The 2013 Listing is set forth below in the form provided to the Trust by EMI. The totals contained in the right most column of the 2013 Listing represent total royalty payments received by EMI for the Top 50 Songs, before deductions are made in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement to determine the Contingent Portion amounts owed to the Trust. The 2013 Listing also contains the following additional information for each song title: the writer(s), the original copyright date and copyright renewal date and the date on which each copyright enters the public domain in the United States.

There can be no assurance that the 2013 Listing is indicative of the future performance of the Copyrighted Songs or that EMI will be able to retain its rights to the Copyrighted Songs during their full term of copyright protection. As of the date of this report, the Trust has not undertaken an audit to confirm the accuracy of the information contained in the 2013 Listing, and there can be no assurance by the Trust that the information EMI provided in the 2013 Listing is correct.

Accounting Policies

Payments from EMI to the Trust of the Contingent Portion are typically made in March, June, September and December for the prior calendar quarter.

The Trust’s financial statements reflect only cash transactions and do not include transactions that would be recorded in financial statements presented on the accrual basis of accounting, as contemplated by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Trust does not prepare a balance sheet or a statement of cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The Copyright Catalogue

The Catalogue is estimated to be composed of over 25,000 music titles, of which approximately 1,600 produced royalty income in recent years. The Trust derives its receipts from EMI principally from copyrights established prior to 1964 in the Unites States. The receipts fluctuate based on consumer interest in the nostalgia appeal of older songs and the overall popularity of the songs contained in the Catalogue. The Catalogue also generates royalty income in Canada and other foreign countries in which copyright is claimed.

A number of factors create uncertainties with respect to the Catalogue’s ability to continue to generate royalty income on a continuing, long-term basis. These factors include: (i) the effect that foreign and domestic copyright laws and any changes therein have or will have on renewal rights (e.g., vesting of renewal term rights), (ii) the length of the term of copyright protection under foreign and domestic copyright laws, (iii) reversionary rights that may effect whether EMI is able to retain its rights to the Copyrighted Songs during certain renewal terms (e.g., statutory termination of transfers or “copyright recapture”), and (iv) ongoing disputes between EMI and the Trust regarding the payment and calculation of the Contingent Portion.

The Trust does not own the Catalogue or any copyrights or other intellectual property rights and is not responsible for collecting royalties in connection with the Catalogue. As the current owner and administrator of the Catalogue, EMI is obligated under the Asset Purchase Agreement to use its best efforts to collect all royalties, domestic and foreign, in connection with the Catalogue and to remit a portion of its royalty income to the Trust as its Contingent Portion payment obligation in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Trust’s income is dependent, in part, on EMI’s ability to maintain its rights in the Copyrighted Songs through copyright protection. As the copyrights for the Copyrighted Songs expire, less royalty income will be generated and the size of each payment of the Contingent Portion will be reduced accordingly.

Based on the 2013 Listing, the Top 50 Songs obtained copyright registration under the United States Copyright Act of 1909 (the “1909 Act”) between 1922 and 1962. For copyrighted works subject to the 1909 Act, copyright law generally provides for a possible 95 years of copyright protection, subject to certain factors, including the initial registration date of each copyright and compliance with certain statutory provisions including notice and renewal. The Copyright expiration dates for the Top 50 Songs range between 1997 and 2057, as set forth in the 2013 Listing.

The Copyrighted Songs are subject to statutory rights of termination of transfers, which may impact whether EMI is able to retain its ownership of the Copyrighted Songs during their term of copyright protection. For copyrights governed by the 1909 Act, this termination right vests at the end of two different renewal terms, which vary for each Copyrighted Song.

As the owner of the Catalogue, EMI (and not the Trust) is responsible for administrating the Catalogue and seeking renewals of the Copyrighted Songs. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that EMI is obligated to use its best efforts to secure renewals.

Contingent Portion Payments

The Trust distributes the amounts it receives in Contingent Portion payments from EMI to the Unit Holders after payment of, or withholdings in connection with, expenses and liabilities of the Trust. EMI ordinarily distributes payments of the Contingent Portion to the Trust approximately two to three months after a quarter ends. The amount of each payment of the Contingent Portion is based on a formula provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Prior to the First Quarter of 2010

Prior to the first quarter of 2010, the Contingent Portion was calculated as an amount ranging from 65% to 75% of gross royalty income from EMI’s exploitation of the Catalogue for each quarterly period, less royalty expenses. In addition, the Contingent Portion was guaranteed to be at least a minimum of $167,500 per quarter (the “Minimum Payment Obligation”).

Beginning with the First Quarter of 2010

Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides for certain changes with respect to the calculation of the Contingent Portion. Both EMI and the Trust agree that one such change is that the Minimum Payment Obligation is no longer in effect. The Trust is also of the view that the Contingent Portion payable to the Trust changed to a fixed 75% of gross royalty income from EMI’s exploitation of the Catalogue for each quarterly period, less royalty related expenses (the “New Calculation Method”). However, EMI disputes the applicability of the New Calculation Method (the “Calculation Method Dispute”).

As a result of EMI not applying the New Calculation Method, EMI’s payments of the Contingent Portion for the quarters ended June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012 December 31, 2012, March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013 were deficient, in the Trust’s view, by $77,096, $13,398, $12,763, $12,996, $69,364 and $14,161, respectively. The total amount of the deficiency, in the Trust’s view, is $199,778 (the “2012 and 2013 Underpayments”).

As of the date hereof, the Trust has not received the 2012 and 2013 Underpayments. The Trust can offer no assurance that it will be able to recover the 2012 and 2013 Underpayments from EMI or that it will resolve the Calculation Method Dispute with EMI with respect to future payments of the Contingent Portion.

Settlement with EMI as to Certain Matters

The 2007 Dispute

In 2007 a dispute arose between EMI and the Trust regarding $259,500 in deductions taken by EMI against its payments to the Trust of the Contingent Portion (the “2007 Dispute”). EMI claimed the deductions were made in connection with certain expenses it incurred in years prior to 2007.

The Royalty Audit Report Dispute

In August 2011 the Trust engaged Prager Metis International LLC (formerly Prager & Fenton LLP) (“Prager”), an accounting firm specializing in auditing royalty income, to determine if payments of the Contingent Portion by EMI to the Trust have been properly made in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement. Prager delivered its final audit report, which covers the period from January 1, 2000 to June 30, 2011, to the Trust on September 25, 2012. The Prager Report identified multiple underpayments of the Contingent Portion during the period covered by the audit (the “Royalty Audit Report Dispute”).

Summons with Notice

In connection with the disputed matters discussed above, the Trust filed a Summons with Notice on October 4, 2013 with the Supreme Court of the State of New York seeking damages of not less than $2,614,948 from EMI for breach of contract, among other claims (the “Summons with Notice”).

Settlement

On February 28, 2014, the Trust, EMI and EMI Consortium Music Publishing Inc. agreed to settle (the “Settlement”) all disputed claims (the “Settled Claims”) of the Trust and EMI for all periods of time prior to October 1, 2011 (the “Settlement Period”). Pursuant to the settlement, EMI has paid the Trust an amount of $625,000 in full and final settlement of the Settled Claims and the Trust has voluntarily discontinued the Summons with Notice without prejudice and without cost subject to the terms of the settlement.

The Settled Claims include all claims during the Settlement Period, including without limitation claims relating to the Calculation Method Dispute, the 2007 Dispute and the Royalty Audit Report Dispute arising during the Settlement Period.

The Settlement does not cover any claims for any periods of time after the Settlement Period. As such, the Trust and EMI have not agreed to settle any claims relating to the Calculation Method Dispute arising after the Settlement Period and have not agreed on the method for calculating the Contingent Portion under the Asset Purchase Agreement for future quarterly periods. As noted above, as of the date hereof, the Trust has not received the 2012 and 2013 Underpayments.

Trust Expenses and Unit Holder Distributions

Expenses

The Trust has had increased legal and other administrative expenses during 2013, due in part, to negotiations with EMI regarding the Settled Claims and a Unit Holder meeting held on August 29, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 the Trust had $160,192 of unpaid administrative expenses for services rendered to the Trust. As of April 9, 2014, the Trust had received invoices for an aggregate of $42,393 in unpaid administrative expenses for services rendered to the Trust.

Low Contingent Portion Payments

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Trust received a total of $507,830 from EMI in Contingent Portion payments.

The Contingent Portion payments the Trust received from EMI were low compared to payments the Trust received in prior years. EMI has advised the Trust that expenses were charged during certain of the distribution periods during 2013 in connection with an audit settlement relating to certain Leroy Anderson copyrights that are part of the Catalogue. The Trust can offer no assurance that the amount of future Contingent Portion payments will not continue to decrease due to expenses charged in connection with Copyrighted Songs, the expiration of copyrights as well as other factors.

2013 Distributions

Due to the increased expenses and low Contingent Portion payments during 2013, the Trustees decided to hold in reserve the full amount of the Contingent Portion payments attributable to royalties received from EMI for the first three quarterly periods of 2013 in order to pay administrative Trust expenses for services rendered to the Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Trust made cash distributions to Unit Holders in the aggregate amount of $80,240.

Recent Payments from EMI to the Trust and April 2014 Distribution

The Trust received from EMI in March 2014: (a) $625,000 in connection with the Settlement and (b) a Contingent Portion payment of $174,532, which is attributable to royalties received by EMI for the fourth quarter of 2013. On April 2, 2014, the Trust made a distribution of $636,276 (or $2.29 per Trust Unit) to the Trust’s Unit Holders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2014. For computation details regarding the distribution please refer to the quarterly distribution report, dated April 2, 2014, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2014.

Inflation

The Trust does not believe that inflation has materially affected its activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Declaration of Trust provides for the distribution to the Unit Holders of all funds the Trust receives after payment of, or withholdings in connection with, expenses and liabilities of the Trust. See the table headed “Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements” under Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for information regarding cash disbursements made to Unit Holders for the two years ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Trust’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations or liquidity that is material to investors.

The Trustees and Unit Holders

Mills Music Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of cash receipts and disbursements of Mills Music Trust for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, these financial statements were prepared on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the cash receipts and disbursements of Mills Music Trust for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

Attention is directed to Note 1 to the financial statements for information concerning the settlement with EMI covering certain disputes with respect to earned royalties.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Trust’s management, which is comprised of the Trust Officer of the Corporate Trustee and the Chief Financial Individual providing accounting services to the Trust, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Trust’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Trust’s management concluded that the design and operation of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Trust as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Trust’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and the reliability of financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment, the Trust believes that, as of December 31, 2013, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Trust’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Trust’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Trust to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.
