ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included
in this quarterly report and in the audited consolidated Financial Statements
and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations ("MD&A") contained in the Company's 10-KSB for the year ended

Information Regarding and Factors Affecting Forward Looking Statements
The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this Report
on Form 10-QSB to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor
provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of the Company.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and
other statements which are other than statements of historical facts. Words
such as "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected. Certain statements contained in this Report on Form
10-QSB are forward-looking statements and the matters discussed in these
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in
the forward-looking statements. The Company's forward-looking statements are
expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable
basis based on management's examination of historical operating trends, data
contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties,
but there can be no assurance that any matter discussed in a forward-looking
statement will ultimately be achieved, or if achieved, will have the same impact
on the Company as discussed in the forward-looking statement. In addition to
those factors already mentioned, other factors which could effect
forward-looking statements are: the impact and implementation of the sexually
oriented business ordinance in the City of Houston; the execution of the
Company's Internet e-commerce strategy, and the availability of acceptable
financing to fund corporate expansion efforts. The Company has no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events.

General
The Company entered into the adult entertainment business in 1997. In
1998, another public company, Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. ("Rick's"),
acquired 93% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
The Company's fiscal year end is September 30. Revenues are derived from
the sale of non-alcoholic beverages, as well as from dancer performances, cover
charges and other income.
Results of Operations
The Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company had consolidated
total revenues of $ 395,820 compared to consolidated total revenues of $ 662,428
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, or a decrease of $ 266,608. The
decrease in total revenues was due to the closings of Company's locations known
as Broadstreets and XTC due to fire.
The cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 6 % of
total revenues compared to 10 % for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
decrease was due primarily to the continuing efforts of management to achieve
reductions in cost of goods sold through improved inventory management and the
saving for not having to purchase alcoholic beverages. The Company continues a
program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and food service
efficiency.
Payroll and related costs for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were $
88,241 compared to $ 322,435 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
decrease was a reflection of the reduction in personnel experienced by the
company due to the closings of the Company's two locations. Management
currently believes that its labor and management staff levels are of appropriate
levels.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 were $ 204,578 compared to $ 528,267 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was due to the decreased number of the
Company's locations.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $ 37,242
compared to
$ 41,016 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was
attributable to the reductions in the notes payable.
<PAGE>
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $ 40,206 compared
to a net loss of $ 269,357 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase was due to drastic reduction in overall costs resulting in positive
income from operations. Management currently believes that the Company is in
the position to be profitable for fiscal 1999.
The Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999
Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998
For the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company had consolidated total
revenues of $ 1,297,130 compared to consolidated total revenues of $ 1,919,887
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, or a decrease of $ 622,757. The
decrease in total revenues was due to the closings of Company's locations known
as Broadstreets and XTC due to fire.
The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was 6 % of
total revenues compared to 10 % for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase was due primarily to the continuing efforts of management to achieve
reductions in cost of goods sold through improved inventory management and the
savings realized from not having to purchase alcoholic beverages. The Company
continues a program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and food
service efficiency.
Payroll and related costs for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 were $
342,328 compared to $699,123 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The
decrease was a reflection of the reduction in personnel experienced by the
company as it closed two of its locations. Management currently believes that
its labor and management staff levels are of appropriate levels.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 were $ 686,132 compared to $ 1,181,785 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was due to decreased number of the Company's
locations,
Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was $ 117,940
compared to $80,669 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was
attributable to interest expenses arising from the increased number of Company's
owned real estate.
Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was $ 108,237 compared
to a net loss of $ 242,730 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The
increase was due to gain on fire damage.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 1999, the Company had positive working capital of $ 421,265
compared to positive working capital of $73,734 at September 30, 1998. The
increase in working capital was primarily due to positive income from
operations.
<PAGE>
Net cash used by operating activities in the nine months ended June 30,
1999 was $349,377 compared to net cash provided of $ 130,924 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 were
$ 41,251 compared to $ 85,700 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
In the opinion of management, working capital is not a true indicator of
the financial status. Typically, the Company carries current liabilities in
excess of current assets because the business receives substantially immediate
payment for sales, with nominal receivables, while inventories and other current
liabilities normally carry longer payment terms. Vendors and purveyors often
remain flexible with payment terms providing the Company with opportunities to
adjust to short term business conditions. The Company considers the primary
indicators of financial status to be the long term trend, the mix of sales
revenues, overall cash flow, profitability from operations and the level of long
term debt.
Seasonality
The Company is significantly affected by seasonal factors. Typically, the
Company has experienced reduced revenues from April through September, with the
strongest operating results occurring during October through March.
