Treatment of the excess cash consideration paid for the acquired businesses is
accounted for as a deemed dividend in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Goodwill was not recorded since this transaction was
consummated with related parties and this treatment would have constituted a
step-up in basis. The transaction is reflected in the financial statements on
the date the transaction occurred of December 31, 1997, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- ---------------------------------
In November 1997, the Company's stockholders' approved a 1 for 300 reverse
common stock split and the number of authorized shares of common stock was
reduced from 200,000,000 to 20,000,000. Additionally, the Company authorized
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The following notes are an integral part of these unaudited financial
statements.
NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
- --------------------------
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. However, the re-opening date of
Broadstreets is projected to be mid-October, 1998.
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.
The following notes are an integral part of these unaudited financial
statements.

Companies, Inc. ("Taurus"). Rick's acquired the Shares in a private transaction

adult entertainment establishments.

Other selling, general and administrative costs increased by $850,702 for
the third quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to $115 for the same fiscal period in
1997. The Company's new location in New Orleans, Louisiana, opened in April
1998. The increase is the result of the costs related to this opening as well
as the on-going operation of several adult entertainment establishments.
Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was ($269,357) compared to
losses of ($115) for the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Interest expense during the third quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to
$41,016 versus $0 for the same period in 1997. This increase is a result of the
acquisition and financing of several pieces of real estate associated with the
companies business operations.
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
operating revenues of $1,919,887 compared to $147 for the nine months ended June
30, 1997.
Cost of goods sold was $201,040 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and
$0 for the nine months ended June 31, 1997.
Other selling, general and administrative costs were $ 1,880,908 for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998 and $1,112 for the nine months ended June 30,
1997.
Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was ($242,730). The

Interest expenses were $80,669 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and
$0 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1998, the Company has a working capital deficit of $841,230
compared to working capital deficit of $41 at June 30, 1997. The decrease in
working capital is due primarily to the Company's investment in the acquisition
of property and equipment of the new location.
In the opinion of the management, working capital is not a true indicator
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 operating activities in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 was $130,924 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 $ 800,648 which resulted from the
acquisition of property and equipment in December 1997. Cash provided by
financing activities was $ 678,227 due primarily to proceeds from issuance of
common stocks 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, service 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.
ANTICIPATED DECREASE IN REVENUES
On May 5, 1998, a fire damaged the adult entertainment facility known as
Broadstreets Cabaret. Earlier 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. Due to the delay in receiving funds from the insurance
company, the re-opening of Broadstreets is anticipated to be in mid October
1998. 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 recently closed its New Orleans club for renovation.
