- ----------------------------------------------------------------

The  lessee  of  the  Enigma Location is Atcomm Services, Inc. ("Atcomm"), which
operates Broadstreets Cabaret.  The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Broadstreets  Cabaret,  Inc.  ("Broadstreets"),  entered  into an Asset Purchase
Agreement  with  Atcomm  which  provided  for  the acquisition by the Company of
substantially  all of the assets of Atcomm (the "Atcomm Agreement").  The assets
acquired  by Broadstreets consisted of: (i) all right, title, interest and claim
to  the  permit  to operate a sexually oriented business at the Enigma Location;
(ii) all inventory located at the Enigma Location; (iii) Atcomm's lease interest
as lessee for the Enigma Location; and (iv) all right, title and interest in and
to  any  and  all  trademarks, trade names, trade dress, service marks, slogans,
logos,  corporate or partnership names (and any existing or possible combination
or  derivation  of any or all of the same) and general intangibles.  The Company
intends  to  continue  to  operate  the  adult  nightclub  at  this  location.

Pursuant  to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Atcomm, Broadstreets
agreed  to  pay,  as  consideration, $225,000 to Atcomm, payable pursuant to the
terms of a four year unsecured promissory note of Broadstreets, payable monthly,
in  arrears and bearing interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum.  The
Atcomm  Agreement  was the result of negotiations between the Company and Atcomm
and  was based on numerous factors including the Company's estimate of the value
of  the  sexually  oriented business permit owned by Atcomm, current revenues of
Atcomm  and the leasehold rights held by Atcomm.  Atcomm was owned by the son of
Stephen  E. Fischer, a director of the Company.  Mr. Fischer abstained on voting
on  this  transaction.

On  December  31,  1997, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with the
members  of  Citation Land, L.L.C. (the "Citation Agreement") which provided for

Houston,  Texas  at which another company, XTC Cabaret, Inc. ("XTC") operates an
adult  entertainment  business  (the  "XTC  Location").  As discussed below, the
Company  has  acquired all of the stock of XTC and intends to continue operating
an  adult  entertainment  business  at  the  XTC  Location.  Citation  also owns
approximately 350 acres of ranch land in Brazoria County, Texas, 50 acres of raw
land  in Wise County, Texas, and owns options to purchase real estate in Austin,
Texas  and San Antonio, Texas, at which the Company contemplates operating adult
entertainment  businesses.

Citation  Stockholders  an  aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the
Company which the Company valued at $1.00 per share.  The Citation Agreement was
the  result  of negotiations between the Company and the members of Citation and
was  based  on numerous factors including the Company's estimate of the value of
the  assets  of  Citation  which  the Company estimated, based upon the existing
lease,  the  estimated  value  of  the  real  estate  and  the  options,  to  be
approximately  $2,500,000.  Eric  Langan,  Chairman  of the Board of the Company

Inc. ("XTC").  XTC operates three adult entertainment businesses, two in Houston
and one in Austin.  Citation is the landlord of one of XTC's adult nightclubs in

Stockholders  an  aggregate  of  525,000  shares  of common stock of the Company

including  the  Company's  estimate  of the value of the assets of XTC which the
Company  estimated,  based  upon current operations and future revenues from its
three  existing  adult  nightclubs  to  be  approximately $525,000. Eric Langan,
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  the  Company  and  Mitchell White, director of the
Company,  are  the sole stockholders of XTC.  Messrs. Langan and White abstained
on  voting  on  this  transaction.

NOTE  4  -  GOING  CONCERN
- --------------------------

These  financial  statements  have  been  prepared on the "going concern" basis,
which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge
its  liabilities  in  the  normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The  Company's  continuation  as  a  "going  concern"  is  dependent  on  the
establishment  of profitable operations, and upon either the continued financial
support  of  its  principal  shareholders  or upon the ability of the Company to
raise  additional  capital.  Management  is  pursuing various options to attract
capital,  including infusions of cash and mergers.  The outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted at this time.  These financial statements do not include any
adjustments  to  the  amounts  and classification of assets and liabilities that
might  be  necessary  should  the  Company  be  unable  to continue in business.

<PAGE>
     ITEM  2.  MANAGEMENT  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
               RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

In  December  1997  the  Company  entered  into the Adult Entertainment Industry
through the acquisition of two nude cabarets and one topless cabaret in Houston,
Texas  and  one nude cabaret in Austin, Texas.  Prior to this period the Company
had  divested  all  of  its assets and was effectively a "shell company" with no
existing  operation.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Total  operating  revenues  was $0 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1997
compared  to  $147  in  the  first  quarter  ended  December  31,  1996.

Cost of goods sold was $0 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1997 compared
with  $0  for  the  first  quarter  ended  December  31,  1996.

General  and  administrative  costs were $50,380 for the first quarter of fiscal
1998  compared  to  $0  for the same period in 1997.  The increase is due to the
acquisition  of several Adult Entertainment establishments, the costs associated
with  the  annual  shareholders  meeting  and  the  reverse  stock  split.

Net  Losses  for  the  first  quarter  of fiscal 1998 were ($50,380) compared to
losses  of  ($850)  for  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1997.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

At  December  31,  1997  the  Company  has  working  capital deficit of $407,244
compared  to  working  capital  deficit  of  $29,844  at December 31, 1996.  The
decrease  in working capital is due primarily to the Company's investment in the
acquisition  of  property  and  equipment.

In  the  opinion  of the management, working capital is not a true indication of
the status of the Company, due to the short cycle of liquidity, which results in
the realization of cash within no more than five (5) days after culmination of a
transaction.

Net  cash  used in operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 1998
was  $84,427 compared to net cash used of $0 for the same period in fiscal 1997.
The  increase  in  the  usage  of  cash provided by operating activities was due
primarily  to  certain  general and administrative expenses that were associated
with  the  Annual  Shareholders  Meeting  and the Company's reverse stock split.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was  $0.  Cash provided by financing
activities  was  $100,000  due  primarily  to  proceeds  from issuance of common
stocks.

The  Company  has not established lines of credit other than the existing debts,
therefore,  there  can  be  no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
additional  financing  on  reasonable  terms,  if  at  all.

The  adult  entertainment  business is highly competitive with respect to price,
service  and location, as well as the professionalism of the entertainment.  The
Company's clubs in Houston compete with a number of locally-owned adult cabaret,
some  of  whose  names  enjoy  recognition  that  equals  that of the Company's.
Although the Company believes that it is well positioned to compete successfully
in  the  future, there can be no assurance that the Company's clubs will be able
to  maintain  their  high  level  of  name  recognition  and prestige within the
marketplace.

ANTICIPATED  INCREASE  IN  REVENUES

The Company further anticipates revenues to increase as a result of the purchase
of  two  nude  clubs and a topless cabaret in Houston, Texas as disclosed in the
Company's  Form 8-K dated December 31, 1997 which was filed on January 15, 1998.
The  Company  believes  it will be profitable in the second quarter of 1998 as a
result  of  an  anticipated  increase  in  revenue  and the reduction of certain
General  and  Administrative  expenses  in the first fiscal quarter of 1998 that
were  associated  with the Annual Shareholders Meeting and the Company's reverse
stock  split.

SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD  LOOKING  INFORMATION

The  management  Discussion  and  Analysis  contains  various  " forward looking
statements"  which  represent  the  Company's expectations of beliefs concerning
future  events  and  involves  a  number  of risks and uncertainties.  Important
factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from those
indicated  include  risk  and  uncertainties  relating  to  the  continuation of
operations  and/or  the  anticipated  increase  in  future  revenues.
