NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
- --------------------------
These financial statements have been prepared on the "going concern" basis,
which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge
its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company's continuation as a "going concern" is dependent on the
establishment of profitable operations, and upon either the continued financial
support of its principal shareholders or upon the ability of the Company to
raise additional capital. Management is pursuing various options to attract
capital, including infusions of cash and mergers. The outcome of these matters
cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -----------------------------
On May 5, 1998, a fire damaged the adult entertainment facility known as
Broadstreets Cabaret. The Company anticipates that Broadstreets will remain
closed for at least 60 to 90 days during which time the Company plans to remodel
the club. The Company believes this event will result in a material decline in
revenues during the closure of Broadstreets and until it reopens and
re-establishes the business. The Company believes that it has adequate
insurance to cover this property damage.

for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
General and Administrative cost were $1,005,254 for the six months ended March
31, 1998 and $1,112 for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
Interest Expenses were $39,653 for the six months ended March 31, 1998 and $0
for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
Net Income after Provision for Income Taxes for the six months ended March 31,
1998 was $51,582. The Company had a net loss of $965 for the six months ended
March 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998 the Company has a working capital deficit of $666,439 compared
to working capital deficit of $29,959 at March 31, 1997. The decrease in
working capital is due primarily of the Company's investment in the acquisition
of property and equipment.
In the opinion of the management, working capital is not a true indication of
the status of the Company, due to the short cycle of liquidity, which results in
the realization of cash within no more than five (5) days after culmination of a
transaction.
Net cash provided by operation activities in the first six months of the fiscal
1998 was $117,992 compared to net cash used of $965 for the same period in
fiscal 1997. The improvement in cash provided by operating activities was due
primarily to income from operations.
Net cash used in investing activities was $629,718 which resulted from the
acquisition of property and equipment in December 1997. Cash provided by
financing activities was $553,581 due primarily to proceeds from issuance of
common stock and from notes payable.
The Company has not established lines of credit other than the existing debts,
therefore there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain
additional financing on reasonable terms, if at all.
The adult entertainment business is highly competitive with respect to price,
services and location, as well as the professionalism of the entertainment. The
Company's clubs in Houston compete with a number of locally-owned adult cabaret,
some of whose names enjoy recognition that equals that of the Company's.
Although the Company believes that it is well positioned to compete successfully
in the future, there can be no assurance that the Company's clubs will be able
to maintain their high level of name recognition and prestige within the
marketplace.
ANTICPATED DECREASE IN REVENUES
On May 5, 1998, a fire damaged the adult entertainment facility known as
Broadstreets Cabaret. The Company anticipates that Broadstreets will remain
closed for a least 60 to 90 days during which time the Company plans to remodel
the club. Eventhough there should be adequate insurance to cover the property
damage, the Company believes this event will result in a material decline in
revenues during the closure of Broadstreets and until it opens and reestablishes
the business. The Company, however, acquired and opened a new club in New
Orleans during the second quarter of 1998. The revenue from this new club is
anticipated to reduce part of the loss of revenues suffered due to the fire at
Broadstreets.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
The Management Discussion and Analysis contains various "forwarding looking
statements" which represents the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning
future events and involves a number of risks and uncertainties Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated

entertainment center and tourist destination, is the location of Taurus
Entertainment Companies, Inc.'s (the "Company") newest topless adult
entertainment cabaret which is located at 735 Bourbon Street (the "Bourbon
Street Location"). In February, 1998, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement with the sole stockholder of Lucky's of Bourbon Street, Inc.

was and is the lessee for the Bourbon Street Location. The Company opened the
