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, 1999.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT AND INFORMATION
The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this 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 in this Form
10-QSB are forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects", "anticipates"
and "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. 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 limitation, 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 expectation, beliefs or projections will result, 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: the impact and implementation of the sexually oriented
business ordinance in the City of Houston, competitive factors, the timing of
the openings of other clubs, the integration of our operations and management
with our parent, Rick's Cabaret International, Inc., the availability of
acceptable financing to fund corporate expansion efforts, competitive factors,
and the dependence on key personnel. The Company has no obligation to update or
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of future
events or circumstances.
GENERAL
We currently own and operate one adult nightclub under the name "X.T.C.
Cabaret " in Austin, Texas. We own commercial income real estate and undeveloped
real estate. Our revenues are derived from cover charges, and the sale of food.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AS
COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company had consolidated total
revenues of $377,480 compared to consolidated total revenues of $471,199 for the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999, or a decrease of $93,719. The decrease in
revenues was due to the closures of Lucky's due to termination of lease.
The cost of goods sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 6.73% of
total revenues compared to 5.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The
increase was due primarily to the increase in the costs of complimentary food.
Payroll and related costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $82,809
compared to $78,904 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The increase was due
to the increase in payroll expenses in the Austin location.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 were $247,255 compared to $238,895 for the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The increase in these expenses was primarily due to the increase in
advertising and in management fees that the parent company assessed.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $34,368 compared
to $46,748 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was attributable
to the Company's policy to pay its debts down and not to incur any new debts.
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was ($12,350) compared to a
net income of $119,589 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was
primarily due to the reduction in revenues due to the closure of the Company's
New Orleans location and due to the gain on fire damages in the 1999 quarter.
For the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company had consolidated total
revenues of $752,731 compared to consolidated total revenues of $901,310 for
the fiscal six months ended March 31, 1999, or a decrease of $ 148,579. The
decrease in revenues was due to the closure Lucky's due to termination of lease.
The cost of goods sold for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was 6.84% of
total revenues compared to 5.97% for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The
increase was due to the increase in the costs of providing complimentary food.
Payroll and related costs for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were
$147,071 compared to $254,087 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The
decline was due to the closure of the Company's facility in New Orleans.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
March 31, 2000 were $467,905 compared to $481,555 for the six months ended March
31, 1999. The decrease in these expenses was due to the closures of some of the
Company's facilities.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $69,606
compared to $80,698 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was
attributable to the Company's policy to pay its debts down and not to incur new
debts.
Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $16,672 compared to
$68,031 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease was due to the
reduction in revenues due to the closure of Lucky's and due to the gain on fire
damage in the 1999 quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $67,950 compared to a
working capital of $325,862 at September 30, 1999. The decrease in working
capital was due to the additions to property & equipment and payments on note
payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended March 31,
2000 was $198,689 compared to net cash used of $374,316 for the six months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due
principally to certain non-cash gains in 1999 and to increase in accounts
payable in 2000.
Depreciation and Amortization for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were
$33,649 compared to $26,652 for the six months ended March 31, 1999.
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 receivable, 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.
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Taurus Entertainment Companies, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Taurus Entertainment
Companies, Inc. as of March 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations
for the three month and six month periods then ended and the statement of cash
flows for the three month period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of analytical procedures applied to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Taurus Entertainment Companies, Inc. as of
September 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for
the year then ended (not presented separately herein), and in our report dated
December 1, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
