ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ending September 30,
1995.
GENERAL
The Company was formed in December 1994 to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock of Trumps, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Trumps") formed in 1982.
Since 1983, Trumps has operated Rick's Cabaret, a premier adult nightclub
offering topless entertainment in Houston, Texas. In 1995, the Company
acquired Tantra, a non-sexually oriented discotheque and billiard club also
located in Houston, Texas from Robert L. Watters, the principal shareholder.
Tantra became operational during the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The
Company's fiscal year end is September 30.
Revenues are derived from the sale of liquor, beer, wine and food, which
comprises approximately 60% of total revenues, and charges to the entertainers
and cover charges which comprise approximately 38% of total revenues for the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 revenues. For the second quarter of fiscal
1995, these percentages were 56% and 36%, respectively. The remaining revenues
are derived from the sale of memberships, merchandise, and miscellaneous other
revenue sources. Membership sales are for access to Rick's VIP Room, and range
in price from $550 to $1,200 for a lifetime membership. Additional benefits
include waiver of cover charges, 10% to 15% discount on drink prices,
complimentary drink tickets and miscellaneous other benefits depending on the
type of membership purchased. Membership sales were $9,550 and $14,850 , which
represented sales of 12 and 18 memberships, respectively, for the second
quarter of fiscal years 1996 and 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
1995. For the quarter ending March 31, 1996, the Company had consolidated
total revenues of $1,200,883, a decrease of $94,610 from fiscal 1995 second
quarter revenues of $1,295,493. Single location revenues for Rick's Cabaret
declined 10% from the second quarter of fiscal 1995 or approximately $110,000.
The decline at Rick's Cabaret is offset by Tantra revenues of $170,000 during
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and $155,000 during its first quarter of
operations in fiscal 1995. The overall decline in revenues for Rick's Cabaret
is largely attributable to the increased level of competition in the Houston,
Texas area. Management intends to offset this revenue decline with the opening
of an additional location in New Orleans, Louisiana during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. Currently management is also studying potential acquisitions
which would additionally serve to offset the current revenue declines.

<PAGE> 8
Cost of goods sold were 31% and 27% of sales of alcoholic beverages and food
for the second quarters of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. This is an
improvement from 37% which was experienced during the first quarter of fiscal
1996. Higher costs at that time were caused from renovations to the kitchen
area at Rick's Cabaret during the months of November and December, 1995 causing
the Company to use outside sources for catering lunch and dinner meals which
resulted in a limited menu offerings at higher costs. Additionally, in order
to capitalize on the media attention given the Company over the successful
completion of the public offering, the Company had several promotional events
where drinks were discounted, which resulted in decreased margin the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.
Salaries and wages increased 18% or $65,994 from the second quarter of fiscal
1995 due to the addition of management personnel and staff in the kitchen and
administrative areas of the Company. Management staffing is currently
increased in order to have adequately trained personnel to assist with the
planning, and pre-opening activities of the New Orleans location and other
potential locations which are currently being studied.
Other general and administrative expenses increased 8% or $53,735 from the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 to the second quarter of fiscal 1996. Charge
card fees decreased $9,869 largely due to increased cash sales during the
second quarter of fiscal 1996. Advertising and promotion increased by $54,536
as the Company continued an outdoor advertising campaign in order to capitalize
on the extensive media attention the Company attracted as a result of the
public offering completion. Management believes the positive effects of
advertising for the Company are often deferred for a period of several months.
During fiscal year 1995, the Company engaged an advertising and public relations
firm to assist with the placement of advertising. Other costs increased during
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 as a result of increased travel and lodging
costs incurred by staff involved with the opening of the New Orleans location
and the review of other potential acquisitions.
Interest income increased to $51,595 during the second quarter of fiscal 1996
as a result of investing the proceeds of the Company's public offering.
Interest expense was reduced to $4,443 from $6,596 during the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 due to a reduction in the average amount of bank and lease
financing debt outstanding during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.
The Company experienced a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 of
($91,180) compared to net income of $59,410 for the second quarter of fiscal
1995. Management anticipates that the Company may also experience losses for
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996 until revenue growth from
acquisitions and the opening of new locations is realized.
Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 compared to the Six Months Ended March 31,
1995. For the six months March 31, 1996, the Company had consolidated net
revenues of $2,369,009, an increase of $84,487 from the net revenues of
$2,284,522 for the six months ended March 31, 1995. Single location revenues
of Rick's Cabaret declined 7% as compared to the first six months of fiscal
1995
8
<PAGE> 9
or approximately $134,000. The decline at Rick's Cabaret is offset by Tantra
revenues of $373,581 during the six months ended March 31, 1996.
Cost of goods sold were 33% and 26% of sales of alcoholic beverages and food
for the first six months of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Renovations to
the kitchen area at Rick's Cabaret during the months of November and December,
1995 required the Company to use outside sources for catering lunch and dinner
meals which resulted in limited menu offerings at higher costs.
Salaries and wages increased 26% or $164,976 from the first six months of
fiscal 1995 due to the addition of Tantra ($46,716) and the addition of
management personnel and staff in anticipation of opening additional
locations.
Other general and administrative expenses increased 14% or $162,038 from the
first six months of fiscal 1995. Taxes and permits increased 9% from the first
six months of fiscal 1995 due to the acquisition and opening of Tantra. Charge
card fees decreased $30,605 largely due to increased cash sales during fiscal
1996. Rent declined due to the acquisition of a parking lot which was
previously leased and is currently used extensively with the Tantra operation.
Advertising and promotion increased by $167,633 as the Company started and
extensive outdoor and radio advertising campaign. Management believes the
positive effects of advertising for the Company are often deferred for a period
of several months. During fiscal year 1995, the Company engaged an advertising
and public relations firm to assist with the placement of advertising. Other
costs increased as result of increased travel and lodging costs incurred by
staff involved with the opening of the New Orleans location and the review of
other potential acquisitions.
Interest income increased to $92,943 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 as
a result of investing the proceeds of the Company's public offering. Interest
expense was reduced to $8,582 from $17,101 during the six months of fiscal 1996
due to a reduction in the average amount of bank and lease financing debt
outstanding.
The Company experienced a net loss for the six months ended March 31, 1996 of
($83,792) compared to net income of $95,069 for the six months of fiscal 1995.
Management anticipates that the Company may also experience losses for the
third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1996 until revenue growth from acquisitions
and the opening of new locations is realized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of $3,276,510 as a result of
the successful completion of the Company's initial public offering. Funds
available to the Company (after deducting underwriting commissions and expenses
associated with the offering) approximated $4,270,000 and will be used for
capital improvements to the original Houston location, opening two additional
locations, and for general corporate working capital purposes.
9
<PAGE> 10
In the opinion of management, working capital is not a true indicator of the
financial status of the Company due to the short cycle to liquidity, which
results in the realization of cash within no more than five (5) days after the
culmination of a transaction. In addition, trade payables and accrued
liabilities are comprised of more than $100,000 in legal fees and accrued
settlements which are paid on extended terms. These legal fees and settlements
resulted from litigation concluded in 1992 and the Company does not anticipate
incurring legal fees to this extent in the future.
SEASONALITY
The Company is significantly affected by seasonal factors. Typically, Rick's
has experienced reduced revenues from May through September. The Company has
historically experienced its strongest operating results during October through
April.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In Dallas Fontenot and Robert L. Watters v. Casa El Sol--Acapulco,
S.A. and Zu Corporation, Cause No. 91-09194 in the 125th District Court of
Harris County, Texas (the "Zu Lawsuit"), filed in 1991, Mr. Watters and a
former stockholder of the Company (the "Plaintiffs") filed suit against
another former stockholder of the Company (the "Defendant"). The suit sought
to compel the Defendant to convey to the Plaintiffs all of its ownership
interest in two entities, one of which, Zu Corporation, owns the land and
building where Rick's is located and which is leased by the Company. The
Defendant joined the Company as a party to the lawsuit, claiming that the
Company had breached its lease agreement due to the alleged late payment of
rent for one month. The case was tried in August, 1992 and judgment was
rendered in favor of the Plaintiffs and the Company. The Defendant appealed
this decision to the Texas Court of Appeals 14th Judicial District. The Court
of Appeals, in an opinion rendered in August, 1995, reversed and remanded the
case for a new trial in the District Court. Upon a re-hearing of this case,
the Court of Appeals, in an opinion rendered February 1, 1996, from which one
of three Justices dissented, reversed and rendered judgment against Mr. Watters
and the Company. The Company filed a motion for rehearing of the decision of
the Court of Appeals, which was denied on May 2, 1996.
The Company intends to file an Application for Writ of Error with the
Texas Supreme Court. Based on the reasoning of the dissenting opinion to the
decision of the Court of Appeals, counsel to the Company believes that there is
a likelihood that the Supreme Court will grant the Company's Application for
Writ of Error. Counsel has advised the Company that this appellate process is
likely to require from four to thirty months depending upon whether the Texas
Supreme Court grants the Company's Application for Writ of Error. During this
time, the Company anticipates that it will continue to operate in its present
location.
If the Company is unsuccessful in overturning the decision of the
Court of Appeals and is unable to successfully renegotiate a new lease, it will
be necessary for the Company to relocate Rick's. While the Company believes
that it could relocate Rick's to an equally desirable location, such a move
could have a material adverse impact on the Company. While the Company would
extensively advertise its new location, it is possible that some customers
would be lost to other competing clubs in the vicinity of Rick's present
location. It is likely that a change in location would result in some decline
in revenue for a period until goodwill could be established at the new
location. Other adverse effects of a change of location could include the cost
of the move and the lost revenue during any period that Rick's would be unable
to operate during such move.
