AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 7. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of alcoholic beverages, food and merchandise, and services at the point-of-sale upon receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge. This includes daily, annual and lifetime VIP memberships. Under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, membership revenue should be deferred and recognized over the estimated membership usage period. Management estimates that the weighted average useful lives for memberships are 12 and 24 months for annual and lifetime memberships, respectively. The Company does not track membership usage by type of membership, however it believes these lives are appropriate and conservative, based on management's knowledge of its client base and membership usage at the clubs. If the Company had deferred membership revenue and recognized it based on the lives above, the impact on revenue and net income (loss) recognized would have been an increase of approximately $1,721 and $13,675 for the three months and an increase of $3,591 and $37,424 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This would have also resulted in a deferred revenue balance of approximately $345 and $22,126 as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management does not believe the impact of this difference in accounting treatment is material to the Company's annual and quarterly financial statements. However, the Company began to record revenues in such manner effective January 1, 2004, and hence as of June 30, 2005 deferred revenues of $21,994 have been recorded related to such memberships. The Company recognizes Internet revenue from monthly subscriptions to its online entertainment sites when notification of a new subscription is received from the third party hosting company or from the credit card company, usually two to three days after the transaction has occurred. The Company recognizes Internet auction revenue when payment is received from the credit card company as revenues are not deemed estimable nor collection deemed probable prior to that point. 8. LONG-TERM DEBT On November 15 and 17, 2004, the Company borrowed $590,000 and $1,042,000, respectively, from a financial institution at an annual interest rate of 10% over a 10 year term. The monthly payments of principal and interest are $5,694 and $10,056, respectively. The note is secured by the Company's properties located at 2023 Sable Lane, San Antonio and at 410 N. Sam Houston PKWY E., Houston, Texas. On November 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $900,000 from an unrelated individual at an 11% annual interest rate over a 10 year term.

On December 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,270,000 from a financial institution at an annual interest rate of 10% over a 10 year term. The monthly payment of principal and interest is $12,256.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 8.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS On January 18, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of Peregrine Enterprises, Inc., which operated the Paradise Club in Midtown Manhattan, New York (50 West 33rd Street). The total consideration was for $7.775 million for the assets and stock of the former Paradise Club, which had operated on the site for more than a decade. The transaction consisted of $2.5 million in cash and $5.125 million in a promissory note bearing simple interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum with a balloon payment at end of five years, part of which is convertible to restricted shares of Rick's Cabaret common stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share, and transaction costs of $150,000. The results of operations of the club are included in our consolidated statement of operations from January 18, 2005. The following information summarizes the initial allocation of fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date based on a preliminary valuation. Subsequent adjustments may be recorded upon the completion of the valuation and the final determination of the purchase price allocation.

In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $291,987. The club's business was accounted for as discontinued operations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and therefore, the club's results of operations and cash flows have been removed from the Company's consolidated results of continuing operations and cash flows for all periods presented in this document and such assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2004 have been netted in one line item on the balance sheet. On June 10, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of a 30,000 square foot nightclub in Charlotte, North Carolina, which was previously known as 'The Manhattan Club' (5300 Old Pineville Road). The venue has been renamed Rick's Cabaret. The purchase price was $1,000,000 through the issuance of 180,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $675,000 and a seven-year promissory note of $325,000, bearing interest at a rate of 7%. The note is secured by liens upon the assets of and hereafter acquired assets of RCI Entertainment (North Carolina), Inc. The results of operations of the club are included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations from February 1, 2005, when we assumed risk of loss for the club's operation under our management. The following information summarizes the initial allocation of fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date based on a preliminary valuation. Subsequent adjustments may be recorded upon the completion of the valuation and the final determination of the purchase price allocation. 9 RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 12, 2005, the Company organized RCI Dating Services, Inc. ("RCI Dating"), which operates as an addition to the Company's internet operations, to acquire CouplesClick.net from ClickMatch LLC ("ClickMatch"). The Company transferred its ownership in CouplesTouch.com to RCI Dating and as a result of the transaction the Company obtained an 85% interest in RCI Dating with the other 15% owned by ClickMatch. On July 20, 2005, the Company issued 40,000 stock options to its Board of Directors. On July 22, 2005, the Company entered into a secured convertible debenture with one of its shareholders for a principal sum of $660,000, which includes the loan on June 17, 2005, in the amount of $160,000. The term is for three years and interest rate is at 12% per annum. The debenture matures on August 1, 2008. The Company also issued 50,000 warrants at $3.00 per share in relation to this debenture. The debenture is secured by Company's ownership in Citation Land, LLC and RCI Holdings, Inc., both are wholly owned subsidiaries. In July 2005, the Company received additional borrowing in the amount of $100,000 from the same unrelated individual who advanced $100,000 in June 2005, and with whom the Company had two existing notes.

GENERAL We presently conduct our business in two different areas of operation: 1. We own and operate upscale adult nightclubs serving primarily businessmen and professionals. Our nightclubs offer live adult entertainment, restaurant and bar operations. We own and operate eight adult nightclubs under the name "Rick's Cabaret" and "XTC" in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Charlotte, North Carolina, and New York, New York. We also own and operate a sports bar called "Hummers" and an upscale venue that caters especially to urban professionals, businessmen and professional athletes called "Club Onyx" in Houston. No sexual contact is permitted at any of our locations. On January 18, 2005, we completed the acquisition of Peregrine Enterprises, Inc., which operated the Paradise Club in Midtown Manhattan, New York (50 West 33rd Street). The results of operations of this new venue are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have been provided. The club is currently undergoing renovation with an anticipated grand-opening in September as 'Rick's Cabaret'. On March 31, 2005, we sold one of our clubs known as Rick's South. On June 10, 2005, we completed the acquisition of a 30,000 square foot nightclub in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have changed the name of the club from 'The Manhattan Club' (5300 Old Pineville Road) to 'Rick's Cabaret'. The results of operations of the club are 11 included in our consolidated statement of operations from February 1, 2005, when we assumed risk of loss for the club's operations under our management. 2. We have extensive internet activities. a) We currently own three adult Internet membership Web sites at www.couplestouch.com, www.M4Mcouples.com, and -------------------- ------------------ www.xxxpassword.com. We acquire www.xxxpassword.com site content ------------------- ------------------- from wholesalers. b) We operate an online auction site www.naughtybids.com. This site ------------------- provides our customers with the opportunity to purchase adult products and services in an auction format. We earn revenues by charging fees for each transaction conducted on the automated site. Our nightclub revenues are derived from the sale of liquor, beer, wine, food, merchandise, cover charges, membership fees, independent contractors' fees, commissions from vending and ATM machines, valet parking, and other products and services. Our internet revenues are derived from subscriptions to adult content internet websites, traffic/referral revenues, and commissions earned on the sale of products and services through Internet auction sites, and other activities. Our fiscal year end is September 30. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had consolidated total revenues of $3,729,011 compared to consolidated total revenues of $3,521,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $207,393 or 5.89%. The increase in total revenues was primarily attributable to the revenues generated by the Company's new club in Charlotte, North Carolina, and by the increase in revenues generated by the Company's existing club businesses in the amount of $206,817, a 6.23% increase from a year ago. Total revenues for same-location-same-period of club operations increased to $3,262,362 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $3,179,315 for same period ended June 30, 2004, or by 2.61%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues in the Company's club operations. The cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 11.76% of total revenues compared to 10.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was due primarily to the addition of Rick's clubs, which have a higher cost of goods sold, offset by a reduction in costs of maintaining our internet operations. The cost of goods sold for the club operations for the three 12 months ended June 30, 2005 was 12.19% compared to 10.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. We continue a program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and food service efficiency. The cost of goods sold from our internet operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 4.22% compared to 6.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The cost of goods sold for same-location-same-period of club operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 12.10%, compared to 10.23% for the same period ended June 30, 2004. Payroll and related costs for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $1,315,625 compared to $1,292,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Payroll for same-location-same-period of club operations decreased to $914,238 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $988,127 for the same period ended June 30, 2004. Management has implemented labor cost reduction initiative and currently believes that its labor and management staff levels are appropriate. Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $1,811,339 compared to $1,659,577 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was due primarily to increase in legal and professional, rent, indirect operating expenses, travel and lodging, and utilities from adding two new locations in New York, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $181,348 compared to $83,014 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was attributable to the Company's obtaining new debt to finance the purchase of a club in New York. As of June 30, 2005, the balance of long-term debt was $12,839,849 compared to $3,923,356 a year earlier. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was ($10,681) compared to net income of $90,575 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily due to increase in operating expenses due to managing two new locations in New York and North Carolina and increase in interest expenses related to the acquisition of a club in New York. Net income for same-location-same-period of club operations increased to $783,755 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $548,881 for same period ended June 30, 2004, or by 42.79%. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company had consolidated total revenues of $10,504,612 compared to consolidated total revenues of $10,647,459 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, or a decrease of $142,847. The decrease in total revenues was primarily attributable to the decrease in overall revenues generated by the Company's club business in previous quarters plus a decrease of $34,887 by the Company's internet business. The Company's club operations in Houston benefited from the Super Bowl in the previous year. Total revenues for same-location-same-period of club operations decreased to $9,539,247 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $9,610,536 for same period ended June 30, 2004, or by 0.74%. The decrease in internet revenues was due to the Company's transition from programs which generate high revenues with very low margins to programs which will produce higher margins from lower revenues. The cost of goods sold for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was 12.23% of total revenues compared to 11.53% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. This increase is attributable to the addition of Rick's club, which have higher cost of goods sold, offset by reduction in costs of maintaining our internet operations. The cost of goods sold for the club operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was 12.69% and 11.66% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The cost of goods sold from our internet operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was 4.52% compared to 9.52% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The cost of 13 goods sold for same-location-same-period of club operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was 12.35%, compared to 11.61% for the same period ended June 30, 2004. Payroll and related costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 were $3,727,169 compared to $3,676,524 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was the result of additional personnel added to the Company's new club operations offset by labor cost reduction in the Company's existing club operations. Management currently believes that its labor and management staff levels are appropriate. Other general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 were $5,174,207 compared to $4,809,424 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was due primarily to an increase in legal and professional, rent, indirect operating expenses, travel and lodging, and utilities from opening new locations in New York, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $438,298 compared to $242,337 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase was attributable to the Company obtaining new debt to finance the purchase of a club in New York. As of June 30, 2005, the balance of long-term debt was $12,839,849 compared to $3,923,356 a year earlier. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $44,913 compared to $698,087 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the increase in operating expenses due to managing two new locations in New York and North Carolina and increase in interest expense related to the acquisitions of a club in New York. Net income for same-location-same-period of club operations increased to $1,973,572 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $1,899,491 for same period ended June 30, 2004, or by 3.90%. Management currently believes that the Company is in position to continue to be profitable in fiscal 2005. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At June 30, 2005, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($1,195,509) compared to working capital of $538,749 at September 30, 2004. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to increases in accrued liabilities and current portion of long term debt, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The value of available-for-sale marketable securities decreased by $91,207, primarily due to market price fluctuation. Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $944,159 compared to net cash provided of $412,715 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreases in other current assets and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company used $4,486,152 and $529,142 of cash in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. $3,744,479 of cash was provided and $86,530 of cash was used in financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 14 The Company's need for capital historically was a result of construction or acquisition of new clubs, renovation of older clubs, and investments in technology. The Company also has historically utilized capital to repurchase its common stock as part of the Company's share repurchase program. On September 16, 2003, the Company was authorized by its board of directors to repurchase up to $500,000 worth of the Company's common stock. No shares have been purchased under this plan. On November 15 and 17, 2004, the Company borrowed $590,000 and $1,042,000, respectively, from a financial institution at an annual interest rate of 10% over a 10 year term. The monthly payments of principal and interest are $5,694 and $10,056, respectively. The note is secured by the Company's properties located at 2023 Sable Lane, San Antonio and at 410 N. Sam Houston PKWY E., Houston, Texas. On November 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $900,000 from an unrelated individual at an 11% annual interest rate over a 10 year term. The monthly payment of principal and interest is $9,290. The note is secured by the Company's properties located in 3501 Andtree, Austin and at 5718 Fairdale, Houston, Texas. On December 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $1,270,000 from a financial institution at an annual interest rate of 10% over a 10 year term. The monthly payment of principal and interest is $12,256. The note is secured by the Company's property located at 3113 Bering Drive, Houston, Texas. The money received from this financing was used for the acquisition and renovation of the New York club. The Company entered into a promissory note on January 18, 2005, for $5,125,000 bearing simple interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum with a balloon payment at the end of five years, part of which is convertible to restricted shares of Rick's Cabaret common stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share. On June 10, 2005, the Company entered into a promissory note for $325,000 bearing interest at a rate of 7% per annum for a seven year term. The note is secured by liens upon the assets of and hereafter acquired assets of RCI Entertainment (North Carolina), Inc. On June 17, 2005, the Company borrowed $160,000 from a shareholder and $100,000 from an unrelated individual at an annual interest rate of 12% and 11% over 3 and 10 year term, respectively. In the opinion of management, working capital is not a true indicator of the financial status. Typically, businesses in the industry carry current liabilities in excess of current assets because the business receives substantially immediate payment for sales, with nominal receivables, while accounts payable and other current liabilities normally carry longer payment terms. Vendors and purveyors often remain flexible with payment terms providing businesses 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 of revenue growth and mix of sales revenues, overall cash flow, profitability from operations and the level of long-term debt. We have not established lines of credit or financing other than our existing debt. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms in the future, if at all, should the need arise. 15 In the event the sexually oriented business industry is required in all states to convert the entertainers who perform at our locations, from being independent contractors to employee status, we have prepared alternative plans that we believe will protect our profitability. We believe that the industry standard of treating the entertainers as independent contractors provides sufficient safe harbor protection to preclude payroll tax assessment for prior years. The sexually oriented business industry is highly competitive with respect to price, service and location, as well as the professionalism of the entertainment. Although we believe that we are well-positioned to compete successfully in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our high level of name recognition and prestige within the marketplace. SEASONALITY Our nightclub operations are affected by seasonal factors. Historically, we have experienced reduced revenues from April through September with the strongest operating results occurring during October through March. Our experience to date indicates that there does not appear to be a seasonal fluctuation in our Internet activities. GROWTH STRATEGY The Company believes that its club operations can continue to grow organically and through careful entry into markets and demographic segments with high growth potential. Upon careful market research, we may open new clubs. As is the case with the acquisition of the New York and North Carolina clubs, we may acquire existing clubs in locations that are consistent with our growth and income targets, and which appear receptive to the upscale club formula we have developed. We may form joint ventures or partnerships to reduce start-up and operating costs, with our Company contributing assets in the form of our brand name and management expertise. We may also develop new club concepts that are consistent with our management and marketing skills. We may also acquire real estate in connection with club operations, although some clubs may be on leased premises. We also expect to continue to grow our Internet profit centers and plan to focus in the future on high-margin activities that leverage our marketing skills while requiring a low level of start-up expense and ongoing operating costs. Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. -------------------------- As of the end of the period of this report, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company's periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in the 16 Company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS ----------------------------------------------------------- During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we completed the following transactions in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") as provided in Section 4(2) thereof. All certificates issued in connection with these transactions were endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. None of the transactions involved a public offering, underwriting discounts or sales commissions. We believe that each person was a "qualified" investor within the meaning of the Act and had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, which allowed them to evaluate the merits and risks of our securities. Each person was knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition. On June 10, 2005, as a part of the purchase of a club in Charlotte, North Carolina, we issued 180,000 shares of common stock to the Seller. These shares were valued at $675,000. Item 4.
