GENERAL

     We  currently  own  and  operate  two  premiere  Internet  web  sites  at
www.DancerDorm.com  and  www.AmateurDan.com.  These  web  sites were launched in
October,  1999.  We also own and operate adult nightclubs under the name "Rick's
Cabaret"  and  "XTC" which offer live adult entertainment and restaurant and bar
operations.  We  own  and operate our Internet content production studio and web
site  operations  center,  and two adult nightclubs in Houston, Texas.   We also
own  and  operate  adult  nightclubs  in  Austin  and  San  Antonio,  Texas, and
Minneapolis,  Minnesota.  We  also  operate  another adult nightclub in Houston,
Texas  through  a  management  agreement.

     In  July, 1999,  we  opened  a nightclub  in  San Antonio.  In March, 1999,
we  sold  our  New  Orleans  location and closed the location of XTC in Houston.

     Our  revenues are derived from the sale of liquor,  beer,  wine  and  food,
cover charges and other income.  We anticipate significant revenue from Internet
operations to begin during fiscal 2000.  Our fiscal  year  end  is September 30.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,1999 AS COMPARED TO
THE  THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  DECEMBER  31,  1998.


     For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company had consolidated total
revenues  of  $2,718,175  a  decrease  of $599,794 from the fiscal quarter ended
December 31, 1998 of $3,317,969.  The decrease in revenues compared to the first
quarter  ended  December  31, 1998 was due to the sales of Company's location in
New  Orleans,  Louisiana.


                                       10
<PAGE>
     Cost of goods sold were 29.0% and 31.7% of sales of alcoholic beverages and
food for the first quarters of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The decrease
in  fiscal  2000  was  due  primarily to the continuing efforts of management to
achieve  reductions in cost of goods sold through improved inventory management.
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  were  $910,156  for the first quarter in 2000
compared  to  $1,004,943 for the same fiscal period in 1999.  The decrease was a
reflection  of  the reduction in personnel experienced by the Company as it sold
its  location in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Management currently believes that its
labor  and  management  staff  levels  are  of  appropriate  levels.

     Other  selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 8.5% from the
first  quarter of fiscal 1999 to the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  The decrease
was  due  primarily  to  reductions in rent related to Company's location in New
Orleans,  Louisiana  and  in  credit  card  fees.

     Interest  expense  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000  was $108,677.

     Net  income  for  the  first quarter of fiscal 2000 was $84,026 compared to
income  of  $283,074  for  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     At  December 31, 1999 the Company has negative working capital of $(34,389)
compared  to  positive working capital of  $15,709  at  September 30, 1999.  The
increase  in  working  capital  is  due  primarily  to  the  expenditure of cash
resources  in  building  and  opening  the  company's  newest  location in North
Houston,  which  opened  in  mid-December,  1998.

     Net  cash  provided  by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 was  $309,283 compared to $598,567 for the same period in fiscal 1999.  The
decrease  in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the sale
of  land  in  the  FY  1998  quarter,  which  provided  cash  of  $815,162.

     Net  cash  used in investing activities was $(180,846), which resulted from
additions  to  property  and  equipment.


                                       11

     The  Company's  new location in North Houston opened in December, 1998. The
Minneapolis,  Minnesota  location  opened  in  March,  1998  and the increase in
revenues  arose  primarily  from  the  sales  for these new locations as well as
increased  sales at the company s location in New Orleans.  In August, 1998, the
Company  acquired  Taurus Entertainment Companies, Inc. The Company continues to
study  potential  acquisition  candidates,  which  would  contribute  to overall
revenue  growth  and  profitability.

     Depreciation  and  Amortization  was  $166,614  for  the  quarter  ended
December  31, 1999 compared  to  $157,068 for  the  comparable  quarter  in  the
prior  fiscal  year.

     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 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  three  months  ended  December  31, 1998, the Company provided
$598,567  cash  from operations.  Amortization and depreciation expense recorded
during  the  period  ended  December 31, 1998 was $157,068.  Management believes
that  the  cash provided by operation is a positive trend indicating the impact,
which an additional location can have on overall overhead coverage and operating
results.  The  Company  continually reviews potential acquisition candidates for
suitability.

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.

Year  2000  Issues

     We have not had any Year 2000 deficiencies internally or externally.  We do
not  expect  to  have any Year 2000 deficiencies internally or externally.  If a
Year 2000 deficiency occurs internally or externally, we will shift our internal
and  external  resources  to fix the deficiency.  We do not expect any Year 2000
deficiency  to  require  an  expenditure  of  more  than  $10,000.
