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
September  30,  1997.  Certain  statements  in  the  following  MD&A are forward
looking  statements.  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.  Such risks and uncertainties
are  set  forth  below  and  under  "Special  Note  Regarding  Forward  Looking
Information".

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.  In February 1996, the
Company  formed  RCI Entertainment (Louisiana) Inc., a Louisiana corporation for
the  purpose  of  administering, operating, managing and leasing its location in
New  Orleans,  Louisiana.  The Company opened its new facility in New Orleans in
January,  1997.  In  addition,  the  Company  formed  RCI  Entertainment (Texas)
Inc.  in  June 1996, for the purpose of acquiring 1.13 acres of land in Houston,
Texas.  The  Company  sold  the  Land  in  November, 1997.  In January, 1997 the
Company  formed RCI Entertainment (Minnesota) Inc. for the purpose of acquiring,
renovating  operating  and  managing its new facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The  Company opened its new facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 5, 1998.
The  Company's  fiscal  year  end  is  September  30.

Revenues  are  derived  from the sale of liquor, beer, wine and food, as well as
from  dancer  performances,  cover  charges  and  other  income.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Three  Months  Ended  June  30, 1998 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997.   For  the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company had consolidated total
- -----
revenues  of  $2,097,954, an increase of $421,988 from fiscal 1997 third quarter
revenues  of  $1,675,966.  The  Company's new location in Minneapolis, Minnesota
opened  in  March,  1998  and  the increase in revenues arose primarily from the
sales  for  the  new  location.  The  Company  continues  to  study  potential
acquisition  candidates  which  would  contribute  to overall revenue growth and
profitability.

<PAGE>
Cost  of  goods  sold  were  13.4%  and 18.5% of sales for the third quarters of
fiscal  1998  and 1997, respectively.  The decrease in cost of goods sold arises
from continuing efforts by management to control cost of goods sold. The Company
continues  to  aggressively  decrease  costs  throughout all of its locations by
improving  menu  offerings,  reducing food inventory stocks and spoilage, and by
modifying  buying  procedures.

Payroll and related costs increased by $277,017 from the third quarter of fiscal
1997.The  increase  arose  primarily  from  the  increased  personnel  costs
attributable  to  the  opening  of  the  Minneapolis  location.

Other  selling,  general  and  administrative expenses increased 37% or $304,138
from  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1997 to the third quarter of fiscal 1998.
Advertising  and  promotion increased $21,233 due to the expenses of advertising
the  new  Minneapolis  location.  Pre-opening  expenses of $17,634 were expensed
during  the  quarter,  relating  to  the  opening  of  the Minneapolis location.
Depreciation  and  Amortization  increased  $65,845  due  to the increased costs
arising from the opening of the Minneapolis location. Interest expense increased
as a result of the payment of financing costs relating to the acquisition of the
Minneapolis location.  Net loss  for the third quarter of 1998 was ($108,744) or
a loss of ($.03) per share compared with net income of $66,003 or $.02 per share
in  the  third  quarter  of  1997.  The  Company  recorded  depreciation  and
amortization  expense  of  $146,035  during  the  quarter.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998 compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For  the  nine  months  ended  June 30, 1998, the Company had consolidated total
revenues  of  $5,774,362,  an  increase  of  $1,055,139  from  net  revenues  of
$4,719,223  for  the  nine  months  ended  June  30,  1997.

Cost  of  goods  sold  was 13.9% and 19.1% of sales for the first nine months of
fiscal  1998  and 1997, respectively.  (See management discussion above relating
to  this  item.)

Payroll  and  related  costs  increased  $ 216,685 from the first nine months of
fiscal  1997  due  to  the  addition  of  Minneapolis  personnel.

Other  selling,  general  and  administrative expenses increased 15% or $434,148
from  the first nine months of fiscal 1997.  The increase was due to significant
increases  in  taxes  and  permits as a result of increased sales.  In addition,
depreciation  and  amortization  increased  during  the  nine  month  period.

Net  loss  for  the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was ($273,427) compared to a
net  loss  of  ($607,961)  for  the  nine  month  period  ended  June  30, 1997.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

At  June  30,  1998  the  Company  had  a  working capital deficit of ($756,637)
compared  to  working  capital  deficit  of  ($486,545) at June 30, 1997. 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,

<PAGE>
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 down turns.  The Company considers the primary indicators
of financial status to be the long-term trend and mix of sales revenues, overall
cash  flow  and  profitability  from operations and the level of long-term debt.

During  the  nine  months  ended June 30, 1998 the Company provided $90,623 cash
from  operations  as  opposed  to ($213,516) cash used during the same period in
fiscal 1997. An amortization and depreciation expense recorded during the period
ended June 30, 1998  was  $310,219.  Management  believes  that  the decrease in
cash used in operations  is  a  positive  trend  indicating  the impact which an
additional locations  can  have  on  overall  overhead  coverage  and  operating
results. The Company experienced a loss from operations of ($17,267) during this
fiscal  quarter  compared  to  an  operating  profit of $111,895 during the same
period  in  the  previous  year. Management attributes the loss to the effect of
start-up  operations in the Company's new location in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as
well  as  to  the  effect  of  the  significantly  increased  depreciation  and
amortization  attributed to the new location.  In addition, there was a decrease
in sales in Houston, Texas resulting from the implementation of the new sexually
oriented  business  ordinance  in April and June 1998.  Management believes that
the  effects  of  the  implementation  of this ordinance will diminish in future
months.

The  Company  continually  reviews  potential  acquisition  candidates  for
suitability.  The  Company  continues to plan for the opening of a cabaret style
dinner  theater  on the second floor of the New Orleans club.  Completion of the
second  floor  facility  is  currently  contingent upon the obtaining additional
construction  cost  financing.

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.  While
management  continues  to believe that the overall trend remains consistent, the
Company  has  experienced  decreased  sales  in  the Houston location during the
October  through  June  period.  Management  attributes  these  decreases to the
current  level  of  competition  and to the public perception of a newly enacted
city  ordinance  affecting  sexually-oriented  businesses  which  is  undergoing
judicial  review.

SPECIAL  NOTE  REGARDING  FORWARD  LOOKING  INFORMATION

The  Company  is  including  the  following  cautionary  statement  in  this
Quarterly  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.  Certain  statements  contained  herein  are  forward-looking  statements
and,  accordingly,  involve  risks  and  uncertainties  which could cause actual
results  or  outcomes  to  differ  materially  from  those  expressed  in  the

<PAGE>
forward-looking  statements.  The  Company's  expectations,  beliefs  and
projections  are expressed in good faith and are  believed  by  the  Company  to
have  a  reasonable  basis,  including  without  limitations,  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  management's  expectations,  beliefs  or  projections  will
result,  or  be  achieved,  or  be  accomplished.

In  addition  to  other  factors  and  matters  discussed  elsewhere herein, the
following  are  important  factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause
material  adverse  affects  on  the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.  Important  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results  to  differ
materially  from those indicated include risks and uncertainties relating to the
impact  and  implementation  of  the sexually oriented business ordinance in the
City  of  Houston,  the recent opening of the club in Minneapolis, Minnesota and
the  availability  of  acceptable financing to fund corporate expansion efforts.
