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 $0 and $6,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This would have also resulted in a
deferred revenue balance of approximately $0 and $6,300 as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2005
deferred revenues of approximately $14,800 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. The
money received from this financing was used for the acquisition

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
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. 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. The term is for 10 years and the interest rate
is 11% per annum. On August 15, 2005, the notes were amended and the amounts
from June and July were included in one of the notes, for a combined total of
$1,341,520 payable to this individual.
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.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this
quarterly report.
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
9
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," "believes," "anticipates," "may," 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 risks and uncertainties relating to our Internet
operations, the impact and implementation of the sexually oriented business
ordinances in the jurisdictions where our facilities operate, competitive
factors, the timing of the openings of other clubs, the availability of
acceptable financing to fund corporate expansion efforts, 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 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.
2. We have extensive internet activities.
a) We currently own two adult Internet membership Web sites at
www.couplestouch.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
10
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 DECEMBER 31, 2005 AS COMPARED
TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
For the three months ended December 31, 2005, we had consolidated total revenues
of $5,779,735 compared to consolidated total revenues of $3,332,211 for the
three months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $2,447,524 or 73.45%. The
increase in total revenues was primarily attributable to the revenues generated
by our new clubs in Charlotte, North Carolina, and New York, New York, in the
amount of $1,625,499; by the increase in revenues generated by our existing club
businesses in the amount of $798,237, a 25.39% increase; and by the increase in
internet operations in the amount of $23,788, a 12.70% increase, from a year
ago. Total revenues for same-location-same-period of club operations increased
to $3,943,217 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $3,143,147 for
same period ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to
the increase in revenues in our club operations.
The cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was 12.27%
of total revenues compared to 11.94% for the three months ended December 31,
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 months ended December 31, 2005 was 12.58% compared to 12.40% for the three
months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2005 was 4.24%
compared to 4.16% for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The cost of
goods sold for same-location-same-period of club operations for the three months
ended December 31, 2005 was 13.42%, compared to 12.41% for the same period ended
December 31, 2004.
Payroll and related costs for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were
$1,669,711 compared to $1,207,948 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.
Payroll for same-location-same-period of club operations increased to $1,000,411
for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $913,759 for the same period
ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in
entertainers payroll in our club in Minnesota. Management currently believes
that its labor and management staff levels are appropriate.
Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December
31, 2005 were $2,616,677 compared to $1,571,266 for the three months ended
December 31, 2004. The increase was due primarily to increase in rent, indirect
operating expenses, travel and lodging, and utilities from adding new locations
in New York, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $263,052
compared to $89,115 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase
was attributable to our obtaining new debt to finance the purchase and
renovation of the club in New York. As of December 31, 2005, the balance of
long-term debt was $13,105,906 compared to $7,721,861 a year earlier.
11
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $525,396 compared to
net loss of $6,485 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase
in net income was primarily due to increase in overall revenues in our existing
clubs. Net income for same-location-same- period of club operations increased
to $1,011,689 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $541,441 for
same period ended December 31, 2004, or by 86.85%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2005, we had a working capital deficit of $1,595,011 compared to
a deficit of $2,047,725 at September 30, 2005. The increase in working capital
was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and
line of credit as a result of increased cash flow from operations. The value of
available-for-sale marketable securities remained the same.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended December 31,
2005 was $427,548 compared to net cash used of $39,023 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2004. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was
primarily due to increase in net income and depreciation and amortization and a
decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities.
We used $123,050 of cash in investing activities during the three months ended
December 31, 2005 compared to $107,592 during the three months ended December
31, 2004. $223,407 of cash was used in financing activities during the three
months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $3,419,698 provided during the three
months ended December 31, 2004.
Historically, our need for capital was a result of construction or acquisition
of new clubs, renovation of older clubs, and investments in technology.
Historically, we have also utilized capital to repurchase our common stock as
part of our share repurchase program.
On September 16, 2003, we were authorized by our board of directors to
repurchase up to an additional $500,000 worth of our common stock. No shares
have been purchased under this plan.
On November 15 and 17, 2004, we 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 our properties located at 2023 Sable Lane,
San Antonio and at 410 N. Sam Houston Pkwy. E., Houston, Texas. On November 30,
2004, we borrowed $900,000 from an unrelated individual at the rate of 11% per
annum for a 10 year term. The monthly payment of principal and interest is
$9,290. The note is secured by our properties located at 3501 Andtree, Austin
and at 5718 Fairdale, Houston, Texas. On December 30, 2004, we 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 our 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.
We 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.
12
On June 10, 2005, we 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, we 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.
On July 22, 2005, we 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 the
interest rate is 12% per annum. The debenture matures on August 1, 2008. We
also issued 50,000 warrants at $3.00 per share in relation to this debenture.
The debenture is secured by our ownership in Citation Land, LLC and RCI
Holdings, Inc., both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries.
In July 2005, we received additional borrowings in the amount of $100,000 from
the same unrelated individual who advanced $100,000 in June 2005, and with whom
we had two existing notes. The term is for 10 years and the interest rate is 11%
per annum. On August 15, 2005, the notes were amended and the amounts from June
and July ($200,000) were included in one of the notes, for a combined total of
$1,341,520 payable to this individual.
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 available a $100,000 unsecured line-of-credit with a bank other than our
existing debt. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance at a
floating rate of prime plus 1.5%. This arrangement is subject to renewal in
June 2006. The amount outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 2005 was
$85,233, with the remainder available for future borrowing. However, 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.
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 management believes that we are well-positioned to
compete successfully in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to maintain its 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
We believe that our 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, our principal executive and
principal financial officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our 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 our internal controls or
in other factors, which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent
to the date we carried out its evaluation.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
-------------------
Subsequent Event. On February 6, 2005, we issued a Convertible Debenture (the
- -----------------
"Debenture") to an unrelated investment group for the principal sum of
$1,000,950 bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with a maturity date
of February 1, 2009. Under the terms of the Debenture, we are required to make
three quarterly interest payments beginning May 1, 2006. Thereafter, we are
required to make nine equal quarterly principal and interest payments. At any
time after 366 days from the date of
14
issuance of the Debenture, we have the right to redeem the Debenture in whole or
in part at any time during the term of the Debenture. At the election of the
holder, the holder has the right at any time to convert all or any portion of
the principal or interest amount of the Debenture into shares of our common
stock at a rate of $4.75 per share.
The proceeds of the Debenture will be used to payoff certain debt and increase
our working capital.
