NOTE  2  -  ACQUISITION  OR  DISPOSITION  OF  ASSETS (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

On  December  31, 1997, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with
the  stockholders  of XTC Cabaret, Inc. (the "XTC Agreement") which provided for

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
Houston,  Texas  and  has  an option to purchase the real estate in Austin.  The
Company  intends  to  continue operating XTC as an adult entertainment business.

Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  XTC  Agreement,  the  Company  paid  the  XTC
Stockholders  an  aggregate  of  525,000  shares  of common stock of the Company
valued  at  $1.00  per  share.  The XTC Agreement was the result of negotiations
between  the  Company and the XTC Stockholders and was based on numerous factors
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.

NOTE  5  -  SUBSEQUENT  EVENT
- -----------------------------

On  May  5,  1998,  a  fire  damaged  the  adult entertainment facility known as
Broadstreets  Cabaret.  The  Company  anticipates  that Broadstreets will remain
closed for at least 60 to 90 days during which time the Company plans to remodel
the  club.  The Company believes this event will result in a material decline in
revenues  during  the  closure  of  Broadstreets  and  until  it  reopens  and
re-establishes  the  business.  The  Company  believes  that  it  has  adequate
insurance  to  cover  this  property  damage.

ITEM2.    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 on topless cabaret in Houston,
Texas  and  one 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  operations.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Total  Operating  Revenues was $1,257,461 for the second quarter ended March 31,
1998  compared to $0 in the second quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in
revenues  is  a  result of the on-going operation of several adult entertainment
establishments.

Cost  of  goods  sold  was  $136,016 for the second quarter ended March 31, 1998
compared  to $0 in the second quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in cost
of  goods  sold  is  a  result  of  the  on-going  operation  of  several  adult
entertainment  establishments.

General  and  administrative cost were $954,874 for the second quarter of fiscal
1998  compared  to $115 for the same fiscal period in 1997.  The increase is due
to  the  ongoing  operation  of  several  adult  entertainment  establishments.

Interest  expense  during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to $39,653
versus  $0  for  the  same  period  in  1997.  This  increase is a result of the
acquisition  and  financing of several pieced of real estate associated with the
companies  business  operations.

Net  Income after Provision for Income Tax for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
was $101,962 compared to losses of ($115) for the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

Six Months Ended March 31, 1998 compared to the Six Months Ended March 31, 1997.
For  the  six  months  ended  March 31, 1998, the Company had consolidated total
operating revenues of $1,257,461 compared to $147 for the six months ended March
31,  1997.

Cost of Goods Sold were $136,016  for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and $0
for  the  six  months  ended  March  31,  1997.

General  and Administrative cost were $1,005,254  for the six months ended March
31,  1998  and  $1,112  for  the  six  months  ended  March  31,  1997.

Interest  Expenses  were  $39,653 for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and $0
for  the  six  months  ended  March  31,  1997.

Net  Income  after Provision for Income Taxes for the six months ended March 31,
1998  was  $51,582. The Company had a net loss of $965  for the six months ended
March  31,  1997.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998 the Company has a working capital deficit of $666,439 compared
to  working  capital  deficit  of  $29,959  at  March 31, 1997.  The decrease in
working  capital is due primarily of 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 provided by operation activities in the first six months of the fiscal
1998  was  $117,992  compared  to  net  cash used of $965 for the same period in
fiscal  1997.   The improvement in cash provided by operating activities was due
primarily  to  income  from  operations.

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  was $629,718 which resulted from the
acquisition  of  property  and  equipment  in  December  1997.  Cash provided by
financing  activities  was  $553,581  due primarily to proceeds from issuance of
common  stock  and  from  notes  payable.

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,
services 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.

ANTICPATED  DECREASE  IN  REVENUES

On  May  5,  1998,  a  fire  damaged  the  adult entertainment facility known as
Broadstreets  Cabaret.  The  Company  anticipates  that Broadstreets will remain
closed  for a least 60 to 90 days during which time the Company plans to remodel
the  club.  Eventhough  there should be adequate insurance to cover the property
damage,  the  Company  believes  this event will result in a material decline in
revenues during the closure of Broadstreets and until it opens and reestablishes
the  business.  The  Company,  however,  acquired  and  opened a new club in New
Orleans  during  the  second  quarter of 1998. The revenue from this new club is
anticipated  to  reduce part of the loss of revenues suffered due to the fire at
Broadstreets.

SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD  LOOKING  INFORMATION

The  Management  Discussion  and  Analysis  contains various "forwarding looking
statements"  which  represents  the Company's expectations or 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  risks  and  uncertainties  relating  to  the continuation of operations
and/or  the  anticipated  increase  in  future  revenues.

Item  5.          OTHER  EVENTS

     Bourbon  Street,  which  is  New  Orleans,  Louisiana's  world  famous
entertainment  center  and  tourist  destination,  is  the  location  of  Taurus
Entertainment  Companies,  Inc.'s  (the  "Company")  newest  topless  adult
entertainment  cabaret  which  is  located  at  735 Bourbon Street (the "Bourbon
Street Location").  In February, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement  with  the  sole  stockholder  of  Lucky's  of  Bourbon  Street,  Inc.
("Lucky's")  to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Lucky's.  Lucky's
was  and  is the lessee for the Bourbon Street Location.  The Company opened the
Bourbon  Street  Location  for  business  in  April,  1998.  The Company has the
necessary  permits  to  serve  alcoholic  beverages  and  provide  topless adult
entertainment.  The  Company's  lease  for  the Bourbon Street Location provides
that  the  Company  has  an  option to acquire the Bourbon Street Location under
certain  conditions.

     On  May  5,  1998,  a fire damaged one of the Company's adult entertainment
facilities  known  as  Broadstreets  Cabaret  ("Broadstreets")  located near the
George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas.  While it is unknown how
long remodeling will take, the Company anticipates that Broadstreets will remain
closed  for  at  least approximately 60 to 90 days during which time the Company
plans  to  remodel  Broadstreets.  The  Company  believes  that  it has adequate
insurance  to cover any property damage.  However, the Company does not maintain
business  interruption  insurance.  Thus, the Company anticipates a reduction in
company-wide  revenues  due  to  the  loss of revenue from Broadstreets while it
undergoes  remodeling. The Company believes this event will result in a material
decline  in  revenues during the closure of  Broadstreets and until Broadstreets
reopens  and  re-establishes  its  business.
