(Unaudited)
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN (Continued)
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.

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
Revenues increased $653,419 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1997
compared to $ 0 in the first quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
revenues is a result of the acquisition of several Adult Entertainment
establishments during the first quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Cost of goods sold was 43,903 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1997
compared with $0 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
revenues is a result of the acquisition of several Adult Entertainment
establishments during the first quarter ended December 31, 1997.
General and administrative costs were $593,960 for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to $997 for the same fiscal 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.
Interest expense during the first quarter increased to $18,823 versus $0 for
the same period in 1996. This increase is a result of the acquisition and
financing of several pieces of real estate associated with the companies
business operations.
Net Losses for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were ($2,457) compared to
losses of ($850) for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN REVENUES
The Company further anticipates revenues to increase as a result of the
purchase of 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 REQUARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
