               RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC. 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. 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.

8.   LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

The  money  received  from  this  financing  was  used  for  the acquisition and
renovation of the New York club.

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.

9.   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.

On  March  31, 2005, the Company completed the sale of one of its clubs known as
'Rick's South' to MBG Acquisition LLC for $550,000 cash.  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.

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.
