INTRODUCTION

Our name is Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. We currently own and operate a
total of nine adult nightclubs that offer live adult entertainment, restaurant
and bar operations. Four of our clubs operate under the name "Rick's Cabaret"
and four of the clubs operate under the name "XTC". Our nightclubs are in
Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Minneapolis,
Minnesota; and New York, New York. In June 2004, we converted our original
Rick's Cabaret nightclub in Houston's Galleria District into "Club Onyx", an
upscale venue that welcomes all customers but cater especially to urban
professionals, businessmen and professional athletes. We also own and operate a
sports bar under the name of "Hummers" in Houston and own or operate premiere
adult entertainment Internet websites.

Our online entertainment sites are xxxPassword.com, CouplesTouch.com, and
NaughtyBids.com. The site xxxPassword.com features adult content licensed
through Voice Media, Inc. CouplesTouch.com is a personals site for those in the
swinging lifestyle. Naughtybids.com is our online adult auction site. It
contains consumer-initiated auctions for items such as adult videos, apparel,
photo sets, adult paraphernalia and other erotica. There are typically
approximately 10,000 active auctions at this site at any given time. We charge
the seller a fee for each successful auction. All of our sites use proprietary
software platforms written by us to deliver the best experience to the user
without being constrained by off-the-shelf software solutions.

Our website address is www.Ricks.com. We make available free of charge our

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES--NIGHTCLUBS

Prior to the opening of the first Rick's Cabaret in 1983 in Houston, Texas, the
topless nightclub business was characterized by small establishments generally
managed by their owner. Operating policies of these establishments were often
lax, the sites were generally dimly lit, standards for performers' personal
appearance and personality were not maintained and it was customary for
performers to alternate between dancing and waiting tables. The quantity and
quality of bar service was low and food was not frequently offered. Music was
usually "hard" rock and roll, played at a loud level by a disc jockey. Usually,
only cash was accepted. Many businessmen felt uncomfortable in such
environments. Recognizing a void in the market for a first-class adult
nightclub, we designed Rick's Cabaret to target the more affluent customer by
providing a unique quality entertainment environment. The following summarizes
our areas of operation that distinguish us:

Female Entertainment. Our policy is to maintain high standards for both
---------------------
personal appearance and personality for the topless entertainers and
waitresses. Of equal importance is a performer's ability to present herself
attractively and to talk with customers. We prefer that

the performers we hire be experienced dancers. We make a determination as
to whether a particular applicant is suitable based on such factors of
appearance, attitude, dress, communication skills and demeanor. At all
clubs, except for our Minnesota location, the entertainers are independent
contractors. We do not schedule their work hours.

Management. We often recruit staff from inside the topless industry, as
----------
well as from large restaurant and club chains, in the belief that
management with experience in the sector adds to our ability to grow and
attract quality entertainers. Management with experience is able to train
new recruits from outside the industry.

Compliance Policies/Employees. We have a policy of ensuring that our
------------------------------
business is carried on in conformity with local, state and federal laws. In
particular, we have a "no tolerance" policy as to illegal drug use in or
around the premises. Posters placed throughout the nightclubs reinforce
this policy, as do periodic unannounced searches of the entertainers'
lockers. Entertainers and waitresses who arrive for work are not allowed to
leave the premises without the permission of management. If an entertainer
does leave the premises, she is not allowed to return to work until the
next day. We continually monitor the behavior of entertainers, waitresses
and customers to ensure that proper standards of behavior are observed.

Compliance Policies/Credit Cards. We review all credit card charges made
----------------------------------
by our customers. We have in place a formal policy requiring that all
credit card charges must be approved, in writing, by management before any
charges are accepted. Management is trained to review credit card charges
to ensure that the only charges approved for payment are for food, drink
and entertainment.

Food and Drink. We believe that a key to the success of our branded adult
---------------
nightclubs is a quality, first-class bar and restaurant operation to
compliment our adult entertainment. We employ service managers who recruit
and train professional waitstaff and ensure that each customer receives
prompt and courteous service. We employ chefs with restaurant experience.
Our bar managers order inventory and schedule bar staff. We believe that
the operation of a first class restaurant is a necessary component to the
operation of a premiere adult cabaret, as is the provision of premium wine,
liquor and beer in order to ensure that the customer perceives and obtains
good value. Our restaurant operations provide business lunch buffets and
full lunch and dinner menu service with hot and cold appetizers, salads,
seafood, steak, and lobster. An extensive selection of quality wines is
available.

Controls. Operational and accounting controls are essential to the
--------
successful operation of a cash intensive nightclub and bar business. We
have designed and implemented internal procedures and controls designed to
ensure the integrity of our operational and accounting records. Wherever
practicable, we separate management personnel from all cash handling so
that management is isolated from and does not handle any cash. We use a
combination of accounting and physical inventory control mechanisms to
maintain a high level of integrity in our accounting practices. Information
technology plays a significant role in capturing and analyzing a variety of
information to provide management with the information necessary to
efficiently manage and control the nightclub. Deposits of cash and credit
card receipts are reconciled each day to a daily income report. In
addition, we review on a daily basis (i) cash and credit card summaries
which tie together all cash and credit card transactions occurring at the
front door, the bars in the club and the cashier station, (ii) a summary of
the daily bartenders' check-out reports, and (iii) a daily cash
requirements analysis which reconciles

the previous day's cash on hand to the requirements for the next day's
operations. These daily computer reports alert management of any variances
from expected financial results based on historical norms. We conduct a
monthly independent overview of our financial condition and operating
results.

Atmosphere. We maintain a high design standard in our facilities and
----------
decor. The furniture and furnishings in the nightclubs are designed to
create the feeling of an upscale restaurant. The sound system is designed
to provide quality sound at levels where conversations can still take
place. The environment is carefully monitored for music selection,
entertainer and waitress appearance and all aspects of customer service on
a continuous basis.

VIP Room. In keeping with our emphasis on serving the upper-end of the
---------
businessmen's market, some of our nightclubs include a VIP room, which is
open to individuals who purchase memberships. A VIP room provides a higher
level of service and luxury.

Advertising and Promotion. Our consumer marketing strategy is to position
--------------------------
Rick's Cabarets as premiere entertainment facilities that provide
exceptional topless entertainment in a fun, yet discreet, environment. We
use a variety of highly targeted methods to reach our customers: hotel
publications, local radio, cable television, newspapers, billboards,
taxi-cab reader boards, and the Internet, as well as a variety of
promotional campaigns. These campaigns ensure that the Rick's Cabaret name
is kept before the public.

Rick's Cabaret has received a significant amount of media exposure over the
years in national magazines such as Playboy, Penthouse, Glamour Magazine,
The Ladies Home Journal, Time Magazine, and Texas Monthly Magazine.
Segments about Rick's have aired on national and local television programs
such as "Extra" and "Inside Edition", and we have provided entertainers for
Pay-Per-View features as well. Business stories about Rick's Cabaret have
appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Houston Business
Journal, and numerous other regional publications.

NIGHTCLUB LOCATIONS

We currently operate clubs under the name "Rick's Cabaret" in Houston, Texas,
Minneapolis, Minnesota; Charlotte, North Carolina, and New York, New York. We
also operate a nightclub in Houston's Galleria District as "Club Onyx", an
upscale venue that welcomes all customers but caters especially to urban
professionals, businessmen and professional athletes. Additionally, we own four
nightclubs in San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, Texas that operate under the
name XTC. We also own a controlling interest in and operate a sports bar called
"Hummers". We sold our New Orleans nightclub in March 1999, but it continues to
use the name "Rick's Cabaret" under a licensing agreement. In early 2003, we
acquired 51% control of the Wild Horse Cabaret adult nightclub near Hobby
Airport, Houston, Texas and operate it as part of our popular XTC Cabaret group.
In May 2003, we opened a sports bar called "Hummers", which is located next to
Wild Horse Cabaret, in Houston, Texas.

RECENT NIGHTCLUB TRANSACTIONS

1. On March 3, 2004, we acquired the assets and business of a 7,000 square
foot gentlemen's club in North Houston, which became our fourth XTC
Cabaret. As a part of the transaction, we entered into a new five-year
lease with an option for five additional years. The $265,000 all-cash
purchase transaction generated goodwill of $20,000 and property and
equipment at

$245,000.

The results of operations of this new venue are included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition.

2. In April 2003, we organized RCI Ventures, Inc. to acquire Nocturnal
Concepts, Inc., which operates as an addition to our XTC Cabaret group,
called "XTC Galleria". As part of this transaction, we transferred our
ownership of Tantric Enterprises, Inc. (our subsidiary that operates Club
Encounters) to RCI Ventures, Inc. As a result of these transactions we
owned a 51% interest in RCI Ventures, Inc. On September 30, 2004, we sold
our shares in RCI Ventures, Inc. to unrelated third parties for $15,000
cash and a $235,000 note receivable with an annual interest rate of 6% over
five years. As a part of the transaction, the Purchaser entered into a
five-year lease for Club Encounters with an option for five additional
years. We recorded a $163,739 deferred gain related to this transaction for
the year ended September 30, 2004. The gain will be recognized upon
collection of the note receivable.

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.

3. On September 15, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (New
York), Inc., a New York corporation, entered into a definitive Stock
Purchase Agreement with Peregrine Enterprises, Inc., a New York corporation
and its shareholders, pursuant to which RCI New York agreed to purchase all
of the shares of common stock of Peregrine. Peregrine owned and operated an
adult entertainment cabaret located in midtown Manhattan. The cabaret club
is located near the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden, and is
less than 10 blocks from Times Square. We completed this transaction on
January 18, 2005.

Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the
transaction was $7,625,000, payable $2,500,000 in cash at closing and
$5,125,000 payable in a promissory note bearing simple interest at the rate
of 4.0% per annum. The Promissory Note is payable commencing 120 days after
Closing as follows: (a) the payment of $58,333.33 per month for twenty-four
(24) consecutive months; (b) the payment of $63,333.33 for twenty-four (24)
consecutive months; (c) the payment of $68,333.33 for twelve (12)
consecutive months; and (d) a lump sum payment of the remaining balance to
be paid on the sixty-first (61st) month. $2,000,000 of the principal amount
of the Promissory Note is convertible into shares of our restricted common
stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share. The parties also
entered a Stock Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement to secure the
Promissory Note.

Upon closing of the transaction, the owners of Peregrine entered into a
five-year covenant not to compete with Peregrine, RCI New York or the
Company. After an extensive renovation, we opened the club in September
2005 as "Rick's Cabaret", which occupies 10,000 square feet on three
levels, with an additional 4,000 square feet available for office space.

The results of operations of the club are included in our consolidated
statement of operations from January 18, 2005.

4. On March 31, 2005, we entered an Stock Purchase Agreement with MBG
Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company to sell all of the
issued and outstanding shares of RCI Entertainment (Houston), Inc., our
wholly owned subsidiary, which owned and operated an adult entertainment
cabaret known as Rick's Cabaret - South located at 15301 Gulf Freeway,
Houston, Texas. The Agreement provided for a sales price of $550,000, which
was paid in cash upon closing. We recorded a gain of $291,987.

5. On June 10, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (North
Carolina), Inc., a North Carolina corporation entered a Purchase Agreement
with Top Shelf, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and Tony
Hege, the holder of Top Shelf's membership interests, to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding membership interests of Top Shelf which owns a
nightclub known as "The Manhattan Club" located in Charlotte, North
Carolina. RCI North Carolina has been managing the Club under the name
"Rick's Cabaret" since February 2005.

The Purchase Agreement provides for a purchase price of $1,000,000 which is
payable with 180,000 shares of our common stock (the "Shares") valued at
$3.75 per share (the "Value of the Shares") and a seven year promissory
note (the "Note") in the amount of $325,000 bearing interest at the rate of
7% per annum. The Note is payable with an initial payment due November 1,
2005, of interest only for the period of time from the date of Closing
until October 31, 2005, plus a principal reduction payment in the amount of
$3,009.29. Thereafter, RCI North Carolina will make eighty-three (83)
successive equal monthly payments commencing December 1, 2005, of principal
and interest in the amount of $4,905.12 until paid in full. The Note is
secured by the assets of RCI North Carolina.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, on or after November 1, 2005, Hege shall
have the right, but not the obligation to have Rick's purchase from Hege
4,285 Shares per month (the "Monthly Shares"), calculated at a price per
share equal to $3.75 until Hege has received a total of $1,000,000 from the
sale of the Shares less the amount of the Note. At our election during any
given month, we may either buy the Monthly Shares or, if we elect not to
buy the Monthly Shares from Hege, then Hege shall sell the Monthly Shares
in the open market. Any deficiency between the amount which Hege receives
from the sale of the Monthly Shares and the Value of the Shares shall be
paid by us within three (3) days of the date of sale of the Monthly Shares
during that particular month. Our obligation to purchase the Monthly Shares
from Hege shall terminate and cease at such time as Hege has received a
total of $1,000,000 from the sale of the Shares, less the amount of the
Note.

The results of operations of the club are included in our consolidated
statement of operations from February 1, 2005, when we assumed risk of loss
for the club's operations under a management agreement.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES--INTERNET ADULT ENTERTAINMENT WEB SITES

In 1999, we began adult Internet Web site operations. Our xxxPassword.com
website features adult content licensed through Voice Media, Inc. We added
CouplesTouch.com in 2002 as a dating site catering to those in the swinging
lifestyle. We recently purchased CouplesClick.net, a competing site of our
CouplesTouch.com site, in order to broaden our membership throughout the United
States. As part of this transaction, we organized RCI Dating Services, Inc.,
which operates as an addition to our internet operations, to acquire
CouplesClick.net from ClickMatch, LLC. We transferred our ownership in
CouplesTouch.com to RCI Dating and, as a result of the transaction, we obtained
an 85% interest in RCI Dating, with the remaining 15% owned by ClickMatch.

Our Internet traffic is generated through the purchase of traffic from
third-party adult sites or Internet domain owners and the purchase of banner
advertisements or "key word" searches from Internet search engines. In
addition, the bulk of our traffic now comes from search engines on which we
don't pay for preferential listings. There are numerous adult entertainment
sites on the Internet that compete with our sites.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES--INTERNET ADULT AUCTION WEB SITES

Our adult auction site features erotica and other adult materials that are
purchased in a bid-ask method. We charge the seller a fee for each successful
auction. Where previously we operated six individual auctions sites, now we
have combined these into one main site, NaughtyBids.com, to maximize our brand
name recognition of this site. The site contains new and used adult oriented
consumer initiated auctions for items such as adult videos, apparel, photo sets
and adult paraphernalia. NaughtyBids has approximately 10,000 items for sale at
any given time. NaughtyBids.com offers third party webmasters an opportunity to
create residual income from web surfers through the NaughtyBids Affiliate
Program, which pays third party webmasters a percentage of every closing auction
sale in which the buyer originally came from the affiliate webmaster's site.
There are numerous auction sites on the Internet that offer adult products and
erotica.

TRANSACTION WITH VOICE MEDIA

In May 2002, we purchased 700,000 shares of our own common stock from Voice
Media, Inc. for an aggregate price of $918,700 (or $795,302 adjusted for imputed
interest) that equals approximately $1.32 per share. That purchase price was
below market value on the date of the purchase. Voice Media, Inc. presently
owns none of our shares of common stock. These shares are presently held as
treasury shares. We may cancel these shares at a later date. The control person
of Voice Media, Inc. is Ron Levi, who was a Director until June 2002. The
terms of this transaction were the result of arms-length negotiations between
Voice Media, Inc. and us. We believe the transaction was favorable to us in
view of the market value of our common stock and the payment terms, although no
appraisal or fairness opinion was done. All management contracts previously
signed relating to the management of xxxPassword.com will remain in effect.
Pursuant to the transaction, the payment schedule is as follows:
(a) The amount of $229,675 due on January 10, 2003;
(b) The amount of $229,675 due on January 10, 2004;
(c) The amount of $229,675 due on January 10, 2005; and
(d) A final payment in the amount of $229,675 due on January 10,
2006.

We are current on these payments.

TRANSACTION WITH TAURUS ENTERTAINMENT

On June 12, 2003, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Taurus
Entertainment Companies, Inc., whereby we acquired all the assets and
liabilities of Taurus in exchange for 3,752,008 shares of Taurus out of the
4,002,008 that we owned plus $20,000 in cash. We also executed an
Indemnification and Transaction Fee Agreement with Taurus for which we received
$270,000 in cash, with $140,000 payable at closing, $60,000 due on July 15, 2003
and $70,000 due on August 15, 2003. We have received the $60,000 payment and
have restructured the remaining balance originally due August 15, 2003, with a
note receivable bearing 12% annual interest over a five year term. Taurus is not
current in its payment obligation and we have initiated steps to collect the
amount owing.

COMPETITION

The adult topless club entertainment business is highly competitive with respect
to price, service and location. All of our nightclubs compete with a number of
locally owned adult clubs, some of whose names may have name recognition that
equals that of Rick's Cabaret or XTC. While there may be restrictions on the
location of a so-called "sexually oriented business", there are no barriers to
entry into the adult cabaret entertainment market. For example, there are
approximately 50 adult nightclubs located in the Houston area, all of which are
in direct competition with our Houston cabarets. In Minneapolis, Rick's Cabaret
is favorably located downtown and is a short walk from the Metrodome Stadium and
the Target Center. There are two adult nightclubs in Minneapolis in direct
competition with us. In Charlotte, there are 5 main competitors. We are
centrally located with easy access to our location from the airport and the
sports stadiums. There are approx 16 adult clubs in Manhattan of which 7 compete
with Rick's. Only one of those competitors' is located in Mid-town. Rick's
location is one block from the Empire State Building and one block from Madison
Square Garden. All the local trains have station stops with one block of Rick's
location and we are located just 9 blocks from Times Square.

The names "Rick's" and "Rick's Cabaret" and "XTC Cabaret" are proprietary. We
believe that the combination of our existing brand name recognition and the
distinctive entertainment environment that we have created will allow us to
compete effectively in the industry and within the cities where we operate.
Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete successfully, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our high level of name
recognition and prestige within the marketplace.

We are subject to various federal, state and local laws affecting our business
activities. In particular, in Texas the authority to issue a permit to sell
alcoholic beverages is governed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission,
which has the authority, in its discretion, to issue the appropriate permits. We
presently hold a Mixed Beverage Permit and a Late Hour Permit. These Permits are
subject to annual renewal, provided we have complied with all rules and
regulations governing the permits. Renewal of a permit is subject to protest,
which may be made by a law enforcement agency or by the public. In the event of
a protest, the TABC may hold a hearing at which time the views of interested
parties are expressed. The TABC has the authority after such hearing not to
issue a renewal of the protested alcoholic beverage permit. Rick's has never
been the subject of a protest hearing against the renewal of Permits. Minnesota,
North Carolina, and New York have similar laws that may limit the availability
of a permit to sell alcoholic beverages or that may provide for suspension or
revocation of a permit to sell alcoholic beverages in certain circumstances. It
is our policy, prior to expanding into any new market, to take steps to ensure
compliance with all licensing and regulatory requirements for the sale of
alcoholic beverages as well as the sale of food.

In addition to various regulatory requirements affecting the sale of alcoholic
beverages, in Houston, and in many other cities, the location of a topless
cabaret is subject to restriction by city ordinance. Topless nightclubs in
Houston, Texas are subject to "The Sexually Oriented Business Ordinance", which
contains prohibitions on the location of an adult cabaret. The prohibitions deal
generally with distance from schools, churches, and other sexually oriented
businesses and contain restrictions based on the percentage of residences within
the immediate vicinity of the sexually oriented business. The granting of a
Sexually Oriented Business Permit is not subject to discretion; the Business
Permit must be granted if the proposed operation satisfies the requirements of
the Ordinance. (See "Legal Proceedings" herein.)

In Minneapolis, we are required to be in compliance with state and city liquor
licensing laws. Our location in Minneapolis is presently zoned to enable the
operation of a topless cabaret. We were a plaintiff in civil litigation against
the defendant City of Minneapolis. On September 16, 2003, the suit was settled
mainly on the basis that the City of Minneapolis will enact a late hour's
operation ordinance and allows qualifying liquor establishments, including us at
our current location, to operate until 3:00 a.m. We believe that, in the long
run, the restoration of late hours operation on a permanent basis is preferable
to going forward with the litigation and in our best interest.

In San Antonio and Austin, Texas, we are required to be in compliance with city
or county sexually oriented business ordinances. In New York, we will be
required to be in compliance with all state and local laws governing the sale of
liquor and zoning for adult oriented businesses. We feel we are in compliance
with these laws at this time. In Charlotte we are required to be in compliance
with city or county sexually oriented business ordinances.

TRADEMARKS

Our rights to the trademarks "Rick's" and "Rick's Cabaret" are established under
common law, based upon our substantial and continuous use of these trademarks in
interstate commerce since at least as early as 1987. We have registered our
service mark, 'RICK'S AND STARS DESIGN", with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office. We have also obtained service mark registrations from the
Patent and Trademark Office for the "RICK'S CABARET" service mark. There can be
no assurance that the steps we have taken to protect our service marks will be
adequate to deter misappropriation.

EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately 443 employees, of which 64 are in
management positions, including corporate and administrative operation and
approximately 379 of which are engaged in entertainment, food and beverage
service, including bartenders, waitresses, and entertainers. None of our
employees are represented by a union and we consider our employee relations to
be good. Additionally, we have independent contractor relationships with more
than 600 entertainers, who are self-employed and perform at our locations on a
non-exclusive basis as independent contractors. Our entertainers in Minneapolis,
Minnesota act as commissioned employees.

SHARE REPURCHASES

As of December 5, 2005 we owned 908,530 treasury shares of our common stock that
we acquired in open market purchases and from investors who originally acquired
the shares from us in private transactions. At this time, we do not have any
plan to use these shares to acquire any assets.

On September 16, 2003, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to
$500,000 worth of our common stock. No shares have been purchased under this
program.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive office is located at 10959 Cutten Road, Houston, Texas
77066 which consists of a 9,000 square feet office/warehouse building. We
purchased this property in mid December 2004 for $512,739, payable with $86,279
cash at closing and $426,460 in a promissory note carrying 7% interest and a 15
year term. The monthly payment is $3,834. As of September 30, 2005, the balance
of the mortgage was $414,057. The last mortgage payment is due in 2019. We
believe that our offices are adequate for our present needs and that suitable
space will be available to accommodate our future needs.

We own two locations of Rick's Cabaret (one in Houston and one in Minneapolis),
Club Onyx, and the two locations of XTC (one in Austin and one in San Antonio).
We own the location of Encounters club in Houston, which is currently under

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESS ORDINANCE OF HOUSTON, TEXAS

In January 1997, the City Council of the City of Houston passed a comprehensive
new Ordinance regulating the location of and the conduct within Sexually
Oriented Businesses (the "Ordinance"). The Ordinance established new minimum
distances that Sexually Oriented Businesses may be located from schools,
churches, playgrounds and other sexually oriented businesses. There were no
provisions in the Ordinance exempting previously permitted sexually oriented
businesses from the effect of the new Ordinance. In 1997, we were informed that
one of our Houston locations at 3113 Bering Drive failed to meet the
requirements of the Ordinance and accordingly the renewal of our Business
License at that location was denied.

The Ordinance provided that a business which was denied a renewal of its
operating permit due to changes in distance requirements under the Ordinance
would be entitled to continue in operation for a period of time (the
"Amortization Period") if the owner were unable to recoup, by the effective date
of the Ordinance, its investment in the business that was incurred through the
date of the passage and approval of the Ordinance.

We filed a request with the City of Houston requesting an extension of time
during which operations at our north Houston facility could continue under the
Amortization Period provisions of the Ordinance since we were unable to recoup
our investment prior to the effective date of the Ordinance. An administrative
hearing was held by the City of Houston to determine the appropriate
Amortization Period to be granted to us. At the Hearing, we were granted an
amortization period that has since been reached. We have the right to appeal any
decision of the Hearing official to the district court in the State of Texas.

In May 1997, the City of Houston agreed to defer implementation of the Ordinance
until the constitutionality of the entire Ordinance was decided by court trial.
In February 1998, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division, struck down certain provisions of the Ordinance, including the
provision mandating a 1,500 foot distance between a club and schools, churches
and other sexually oriented business, leaving intact the provision of the 750
foot distance as it existed prior to the Ordinance.

The City of Houston has appealed the District Court's rulings with the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals. In the event that the City of Houston is successful in
the appeal, we could be out of compliance and such an outcome could have an
adverse impact on our future. Our nightclub in our south Houston location has a
valid permit/license that will expire in December 2005. The permits for our
north Houston location and our Bering Drive location have expired.

There are other provisions in the Houston, Texas Ordinance, such as provisions
governing the level of lighting in a sexually oriented business, the distance
between a customer and dancer while the dancer is performing in a state of
undress and provisions regarding the licensing of dancers and club managers that
were upheld by the court which may be detrimental to our business. We, in
concert with other sexually oriented businesses, are appealing these aspects of
the Ordinance.

church or school. The Court of Appeals held that a distance measurement of
1,500 feet would be upheld upon a showing by the City of Houston that its claims
that there were alternative sites available for relocating the clubs could be
substantiated. The case was remanded for trial on the issue of the alternative
sites.

There are other technical issues, which could additionally bear upon the
location of the clubs, which were not decided at the trial level during the
initial phase of the case. It is anticipated that these technical issues will
be joined in the Trial Court. The City has not sought to modify any of the
terms of the injunction against enforcement of any location provision of the
Ordinance.

The appeals process as it relates to the Court's rulings in 1998 has been
exhausted. The Trial Court has entered a new scheduling order which places
trial on the remaining issues for June 2006. Under the holding of the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals, the City of Houston has the burden of proof to show
that, under the distance measurements contained in the 1997 ordinance, there are
over 2,000 alternate sites available for relocation. If the City of Houston can
meet this initial burden, then the Trial Court will consider the remaining
location issues which were not decided during the initial summary phase of the
case. In the event the City of Houston can meet its burden and the Trial Court
moves forward with the case, an appeal is anticipated. A ruling on the
remaining issues in favor of the City of Houston could have an adverse impact on
the Rick's locations in Houston, Texas.

OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

On May 2, 2003, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Texas, San Antonio division, on behalf of XTC Cabaret, and
others, as a result of the City of San Antonio having adopted a new ordinance,
which, among other things, banned nude dancing. This suit asked the Court to
declare the ordinance unconstitutional and enjoin the City from enforcing it.
Prior to a resolution of this litigation, XTC Cabaret withdrew as a party to the
lawsuit. Although a settlement was reached with the remaining parties in June
2005, it did not include nude dancing. XTC has elected to address the
constitutionality of the ordinance by appealing any conviction obtained by the
City through the state courts.

On April 7, 2004, a lawsuit was filed in the 80th Judicial District Court of
Harris County, Texas, styled Cause No. 2004-18510, Charity Renee Stevens, et al.
vs. Lazaro Ernesto Alfonso, et al. This is a wrongful death and personal injury
action against two individuals based on negligence theories and five
entertainment establishments including Rick's based on alleged "dram shop"
violations arising from a two-car collision. Plaintiffs have also sued Ford
Motor Company under a theory of products liability. Plaintiffs include the
children of the decedents, a minor passenger and the mothers of the decedents.
Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages including physical pain and
suffering, mental anguish, pecuniary loss, past and future loss of companionship
and consortium, loss of mental and intellectual function, past and future
physical impairment, reduction in earning capacity, increased education costs
and expenses including funeral and medical costs.

Management believes that we are not liable for any of the damages and that we
are covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Dram Shop Act, which render
certain compliant establishments not liable for the acts of their patrons. We
are not aware of any insurance coverage for this claim. We deny that we have any
liability for the accident and are vigorously defending the matter.

Discovery is ongoing and we have filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf
of Rick's which is currently pending.

We held our Annual Meeting of Shareholders on June 27, 2005. The results of the

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We do not currently pay any cash directors' fees, but we pay the expenses of our
directors in attending board meetings. In September 2005, we issued 10,000
options to each Director who is a member of our audit committee and 5,000
options to our other Directors. These options have a strike price of $2.80 per
share and expire in July 2010.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

While we have been successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel,
we believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability
to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We pay wages and salaries that
we believe are competitive. We also believe that equity ownership is an
important factor in our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel. We have
adopted stock option plans (the "Plans") for employees and directors. The
purpose of the Plans is to further our interests, our subsidiaries and our
stockholders by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key
employees and directors who contribute materially to our success and
profitability. The grants recognize and reward outstanding individual
performances and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest
in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and
progress. The Plans also assist us and our subsidiaries in attracting and
retaining key employees and directors. The Plans are administered by the Board
of Directors. The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select the
participants in the Plans, to establish the terms of the options granted to each
participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise
price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the common stock covered
by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or
advisable under the Plans.

In 1995 we adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan"). A total of
300,000 shares could be granted and sold under the 1995 Plan, all of which were
not exercised and have expired. We do not plan to issue any additional options
under the 1995 Plan.

In August 1999 we adopted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan") with
500,000 shares

authorized to be granted and sold under the 1999 Plan. In August 2004,
shareholders approved an Amendment to the 1999 Plan (the "Amendment") which
increased the total number of shares authorized to 1,000,000. As of September
30, 2005, 878,000 stock options are presently outstanding under the 1999 Plan,
with 70,000 of which have been exercised.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During the quarter ended September 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.

1. On July 22, 2005, we entered into a secured convertible debenture with one
of our shareholders for a principal sum of $660,000 which bears interest at
the rate of 12% per annum. The term is for three years. The debenture
matures on August 1, 2008. The principal amount of the debenture is
convertible into shares of our common stock at a rate of $3.00 per share.
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 are wholly owned subsidiaries.

2. In July 2005, we sold 200,000 shares of our common stock in a private
transaction to 13 persons at $2.00 per share for a total consideration of
$400,000.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the financial
statements included in this Form 10-KSB.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT AND INFORMATION

We are including the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-KSB to make
applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provision of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made
by us or on behalf of us. 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 prospectus 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. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are
expressed in good faith and we believe that they have a reasonable basis,
including without limitation, our examination of historical operating trends,
data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. There
can

be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs or projections will result, be
achieved, or be accomplished. In addition to other factors and matters
discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, the following are important factors that
in our view could cause material adverse affects on our financial condition and
results of operations: the risks and uncertainties related to our future
operational and financial results, the risks and uncertainties relating to our
Internet operations, competitive factors, the timing of the openings of other
clubs, the availability of acceptable financing to fund corporate expansion
efforts, our dependence on key personnel, the ability to manage operations and
the future operational strength of management, and the laws governing the
operation of adult entertainment businesses. We have no obligation to update or
revise these forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of future
events or circumstances.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below before deciding to purchase shares
of our Common Stock. If any of the events, contingencies, circumstances or
conditions described in the risks below actually occurs, our business, financial
condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. The trading price
of our Common Stock could, in turn, decline and you could lose all or part of
your investment.

Our Business Operations are Subject to Regulatory Uncertainties Which May Affect
Our Ability to Continue Operations of Existing Nightclubs, Acquire Additional
Nightclubs or Be Profitable

Adult entertainment nightclubs are subject to local, state and federal
regulations. Our business is regulated by local zoning, local and state liquor
licensing, local ordinances and state and federal time place and manner
restrictions. The adult entertainment provided by our nightclubs has elements of
speech and expression and, therefore, enjoys some protection under the First
Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, the protection is limited
to the expression, and not the conduct of an entertainer. While our nightclubs
are generally well established in their respective markets, there can be no
assurance that local, state and/or federal licensing and other regulations will
permit our nightclubs to remain in operation or profitable in the future.

We May Need Additional Financing or Our Business Expansion Plans May Be
Significantly Limited

If cash generated from our operations is insufficient to satisfy our working
capital and capital expenditure requirements, we will need to raise additional
funds through the public or private sale of our equity or debt securities. The
timing and amount of our capital requirements will depend on a number of
factors, including cash flow and cash requirements for nightclub acquisitions.
If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible
debt securities, the percentage ownership of our then-existing shareholders will
be reduced. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on
terms favorable to us, if at all. Any future equity financing, if available, may
result in dilution to existing shareholders, and debt financing, if available,
may include restrictive covenants. Any failure by us to procure timely
additional financing will have material adverse consequences on our business
operations.

There is Substantial Competition in the Nightclub Entertainment Industry Which
May Affect Our Ability to Operate Profitably or Acquire Additional Clubs

Our nightclubs face competition. Some of these competitors may have greater
financial and management resources than us. Additionally, the industry is
subject to unpredictable competitive trends and competition for general
entertainment dollars. There can be no assurance that we will be

able to remain profitable in this competitive industry.

Risk of Adult Nightclubs Operations

Historically, the adult entertainment, restaurant and bar industry has been an
extremely volatile industry. The industry tends to be extremely sensitive to
the general local economy, in that when economic conditions are prosperous,
entertainment industry revenues increase, and when economic conditions are
unfavorable, entertainment industry revenues decline. Coupled with this
economic sensitivity are the trendy personal preferences of the customers who
frequent adult cabarets. We continuously monitor trends in our customers'
tastes and entertainment preferences so that, if necessary, we can make
appropriate changes which will allow us to remain one of the premiere adult
cabarets. However, any significant decline in general corporate conditions or
uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that affect consumer spending
could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we have
historically catered to a clientele base from the upper end of the market.
Accordingly, further reductions in the amounts of entertainment expenses allowed
as deductions from income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended,
could adversely affect sales to customers dependent upon corporate expense
accounts.

Permits Relating to the Sale of Alcohol

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of alcoholic
beverages. In Texas, the authority to issue a permit to sell alcoholic
beverages is governed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (the "TABC"),
which has the authority, in its discretion, to issue the appropriate permits.
Rick's presently holds a Mixed Beverage Permit and a Late Hours Permit (the
"Permits"). These Permits are subject to annual renewal, provided we have
complied with all rules and regulations governing the permits. Renewal of a
permit is subject to protest, which may be made by a law enforcement agency or
by a member of the general public. In the event of a protest, the TABC may hold
a hearing at which time the views of interested parties are expressed. The TABC
has the authority after such hearing not to issue a renewal of the protested
alcoholic beverage permit. While we have never been subject to a protest
hearing against the renewal of our Permits, there can be no assurance that such
a protest could not be made in the future, nor can there be any assurance that
the Permits would be granted in the event such a protest was made. Other states
may have similar laws which may limit the availability of a permit to sell
alcoholic beverages or which may provide for suspension or revocation of a
permit to sell alcoholic beverages in certain circumstances. The temporary or
permanent suspension or revocations of either of the Permits or the inability to
obtain permits in areas of expansion would have a material adverse effect on the
revenues, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

We Must Continue to Meet The Nasdaq Small Cap Market Continued Listing
Requirements or We Risk Delisting

Our securities are currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market.
We must continue to satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements or risk
delisting which would have an adverse effect on our business. If our securities
are ever de-listed from the Nasdaq, it may trade on the over-the-counter market,
which may be a less liquid market. In such case, our shareholders' ability to
trade or obtain quotations of the market value of shares of our common stock
would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction
delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the
bid and ask prices for our securities. There is no assurance that we will be
able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

In The Future, We Will Incur Significant Increased Costs as a Result of
Operating as a Public Company, and Our Management Will Be Required to Devote
Substantial Time to New Compliance Initiatives

In the future, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), as well as new rules
subsequently implemented by the SEC, have imposed various new requirements on
public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.
Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of
time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations
will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some
activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these new
rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to
obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur
substantial costs to maintain the same or similar coverage.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we
maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure
controls and procedures. In particular, commencing in fiscal 2007, we must
perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over
financial reporting to allow management and our independent registered public
accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over
financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our
testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public
accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section
404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend
significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit
group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with
appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.
Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a
timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm
identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that
are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could
decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or
other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and
management resources.

Uninsured Risks

We maintain insurance in amounts we considers adequate for personal injury and
property damage to which the business of the Company may be subject. However,
there can be no assurance that uninsured liabilities in excess of the coverage
provided by insurance, which liabilities may be imposed pursuant to the Texas
"Dram Shop" statute or similar "Dram Shop" statutes or common law theories of
liability in other states where we operate or expand. The Texas "Dram Shop"
statute provides a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover
damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to such
person if it was apparent to the server that the individual being sold, served
or provided with an alcoholic beverage was obviously intoxicated to the extent
that he presented a clear danger to himself and others. An employer is not
liable for the actions of its employee who overserves if (i) the employer
requires its employees to attend a seller training program approved by the TABC;
(ii) the employee has actually attended such a training program; and (iii) the
employer has not directly or indirectly encouraged the employee to violate the
law. It is our policy to require that all servers of alcohol working at our
clubs be certified as servers under a training program approved by the TABC,
which certification gives statutory immunity to the sellers of alcohol from
damage caused to third parties by those who have consumed alcoholic beverages at
such establishment pursuant to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code. There can be
no assurance, however, that uninsured liabilities may not arise which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company.

Limitations on Protection of Service Marks

Our rights to the tradenames "Rick's" and "Rick's Cabaret" are established under
the common law based upon our substantial and continuous use of these trademarks
in interstate commerce since at least as early as 1987. "RICK'S AND STARS
DESIGN" and "RICK'S CABARET" logos are registered through service mark
registrations issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO").
There can be no assurance that these steps taken by the Company to protect its
Service Marks will be adequate to deter misappropriation of its protected
intellectual property rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to
protect our rights from infringement, which may be costly and time consuming.
The loss of the intellectual property rights owned or claimed by us could have a
material adverse affect on our business.

Anti-takeover Effects of Issuance of Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares constituting
any such series, and to fix the rights and preferences of the shares
constituting any series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The issuance of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors could adversely affect
the rights of the holders of Common Stock. For example, such issuance could
result in a class of securities outstanding that would have preferences with
respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over the Common Stock,
and could (upon conversion or otherwise) enjoy all of the rights appurtenant to
Common Stock. The Board's authority to issue Preferred Stock could discourage
potential takeover attempts and could delay or prevent a change in control of
the Company through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making
such attempts more difficult to achieve or more costly. There are no issued and
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; there are no agreements or understandings
for the issuance of Preferred Stock, and the Board of Directors has no present
intention to issue Preferred Stock.

We Do Not Anticipate Paying Dividends on Common Shares in the Foreseeable Future

Since our inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock and we do
not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We expect that
future earnings, if any, will be used for working capital and to finance growth.

Future Sales of Our Common Stock May Depress Our Stock Price

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of
substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or as a result of
the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could
make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of common
stock.

Our Stock Price Has Been Volatile and May Fluctuate in the Future

The trading price of our securities may fluctuate significantly. This price may
be influenced by many factors, including:

- our performance and prospects;
- the depth and liquidity of the market for our securities;
- sales by selling shareholders of shares issued or issuable in
connection with the Debenture and/or Convertible Note;
- investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
- changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts;

- general financial and other market conditions; and
- domestic economic conditions.

Public stock markets have experienced, and may experience, extreme price and
trading volume volatility. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect
the market price of our securities.

Our Management Controls a Significant Percentage of Our Current Outstanding
Common Stock and Their Interests May Conflict With Those of Our Shareholders

As of December 23, 2005, our Directors and executive officers and their
respective affiliates collectively and beneficially owned approximately 29% of
our outstanding common stock, including all warrants exercisable within 60 days.
This concentration of voting control gives our Directors and executive officers
and their respective affiliates substantial influence over any matters which
require a shareholder vote, including, without limitation, the election of
Directors, even if their interests may conflict with those of other
shareholders. It could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to
obtain control of us. This could have a material adverse effect on the market
price of our common stock or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium
over the then prevailing market prices for their shares of common stock.

We are Dependent on Key Personnel

Our future success is dependent, in a large part, on retaining the services of
Mr. Eric Langan, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Langan possesses
a unique and comprehensive knowledge of our industry. While Mr. Langan has no
present plans to leave or retire in the near future, his loss could have a
negative effect on our operating, marketing and financial performance if we are
unable to find an adequate replacement with similar knowledge and experience
within our industry. We maintain key-man life insurance with respect to Mr.
Langan. Although Mr. Langan is under an employment agreement (as described
herein), there can be no assurance that Mr. Langan will continue to be employed
by us. The loss of Mr. Langan could have a negative effect on our operating,
marketing, and financing performance.

Cumulative Voting is Not Available To Stockholders

Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is expressly denied in our
Articles of Incorporation. Accordingly, the holder or holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of our common stock may elect all of our Directors.
Management's large percentage ownership of our outstanding common stock helps
enable them to maintain their positions as such and thus control of our business
and affairs.

Our Directors and Officers Have Limited Liability and Have Rights To
Indemnification

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide, as permitted by governing
Texas law, that our Directors and officers shall not be personally liable to us
or any of our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a Director or officer, with certain exceptions. The Articles further provide
that we will indemnify our Directors and officers against expenses and
liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil litigation or
criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been
its Directors or officers unless, in such action, they are adjudged to have
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The inclusion of these provisions in the Articles may have the effect of
reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against Directors and officers,
and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit
against Directors and officers for breach of their duty of care, even though
such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our
stockholders. The Articles provide for the indemnification of our officers and
Directors, and the advancement to them of expenses in connection with any
proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent permitted by Texas law. The
Articles include related provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitee's receipt
of such benefits. These provisions cover, among other things: (i) specification
of the method of determining entitlement to indemnification and the selection of
independent counsel that will in some cases make such determination, (ii)
specification of certain time periods by which certain payments or
determinations must be made and actions must be taken, and (iii) the
establishment of certain presumptions in favor of an indemnitee.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

GENERAL

We operate in two businesses in the adult entertainment industry:

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 seven adult nightclubs
under the name "Rick's Cabaret" and "XTC" in Houston, Austin and San
Antonio, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 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.CoupleTouch.com and www.xxxpassword.com. We acquire
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.

Beginning in fiscal 2002 and continuing through fiscal 2005, we greatly reduced
our usage of

promotional pricing for membership fees for our adult entertainment web sites.
This reduced our revenues from these web sites.

We performed our annual evaluation on goodwill impairment as of September 30,
2005. No impairment losses were identified as a result of this evaluation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and assumptions are based on
historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and
assumptions may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our
estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We believe the accounting
policies below are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and
results of operations.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

Accounts receivable trade is primarily comprised of credit card charges, which
are generally converted to cash in two to five days after a purchase is made.
The Company's accounts receivable other is comprised of employee advances and
other miscellaneous receivables. The long-term portion of notes receivable are
included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The
Company recognizes interest income on notes receivable based on the terms of the
agreement and based upon management's evaluation that the notes receivable and
interest income will be collected. The Company recognizes allowances for
doubtful accounts or notes when, based on management judgment, circumstances
indicate that accounts or notes receivable will not be collected. There is no
allowance for doubtful accounts or notes receivable as of September 30, 2005 and
2004.

Inventories

Inventories include alcoholic beverages, food, and Company merchandise.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost, average cost, which approximates
actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis, or market.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities at September 30, 2005 and 2004 consist of common stock.
As of September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company's marketable securities were
classified as available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses reported as other comprehensive income within the
stockholders' equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The cost of marketable equity securities sold is determined on a specific
identification basis. The fair value of marketable equity securities is based
on quoted market prices.

Property and Equipment

improvements have estimated useful lives between five and ten years.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives are
capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred. The cost of assets sold or abandoned and the related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gains or losses are
charged or credited in the accompanying statement of income of the respective
period.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Assets, which addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets.
Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized, but reviewed on an annual basis for impairment. The Company
adopted SFAS effective October 1, 2001. The Company's annual evaluation was
performed as of September 30, 2005. No impairment losses were identified as a
result of this evaluation. All of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets
relate to the nightclub segment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized
on a straight-line basis over their estimated lives. Fully amortized assets are
written off against accumulated amortization.

Revenue Recognition

Except for VIP Memberships, we recognize revenue at the point-of-sale upon
receipt of cash, check, or credit card charge. Membership revenue is deferred
and recognized over the estimated membership usage period, which is estimated to
be 12 and 24 months for annual and lifetime memberships, respectively. We
recognize 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. We recognize Internet auction
revenue when payment is received from the credit card as revenues are not deemed
estimable nor collection deemed probable prior to that point.

Advertising and Marketing

Advertising and marketing expenses is primarily comprised of costs related to
public advertisements and giveaways, which are used for promotional purposes.
Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in
operating expenses.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is
established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it
is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.

Stock Options

At September 30, 2005, the Company has stock options outstanding. The Company
accounts for its stock options under the recognition and measurement principles
of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. The

following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

The following presents pro forma net income and per share data as if a fair
value accounting method had been used to account for stock-based compensation:

Common Stock

In January 2005, 20,000 stock options were exercised by the Company's employees
and directors for $39,625. In March 2005, the Company issued 150,000 shares of
common stock to an unrelated investor and received proceeds of $375,000, 12,000
shares of restricted common stock were issued at a value of $2.26 per share
pursuant to a consulting agreement, and 25,000 stock options were exercised by
the Company's employees for $60,025. On June 10, 2005, the Company issued
180,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the purchase of a club in Charlotte,
North Carolina. See Note N. In July 2005, we sold 200,000 shares of our common
stock in a private transaction to 13 persons at $2.00 per share for a total
consideration of $400,000. In August and September 2005, 25,000 stock options
were exercised by the Company's employees and directors for $54,113.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
interpretation 46R ("FIN 46R"), a revision to interpretation 46 ("FIN 46"),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46R clarifies some of the
provisions of FIN 46 and exempts certain entities from its requirements. FIN
46R was effective at the end of the first interim period ending after March 15,
2004. The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, which is a
revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes
APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R focuses
primarily on share-based payments for employee services, requiring these
payments to be recorded using a fair-value-based method. The use of APB 25's
intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options has been
eliminated. As a result, the fair value of stock options granted to employees in
the future will be required to be expensed. The impact on the results of
operations of the Company will be dependent on the number of options granted and
the fair value of those options. For the Company, SFAS 123R will be effective
beginning October 1, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AS COMPARED
TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, we had consolidated total revenues
of $14,824,407, compared to consolidated total revenues of $13,858,434 for the
year ended September 30, 2004. The consolidated total revenues for period ending
September 30, 2004 did not include revenues from discontinued operations in the
amount of $2,101,250. This was an increase of $965,973 or 6.97%. The increase in
total revenues was primarily due to revenues from our new nightclub operations.
Revenues from nightclub operations for same-location same-period decreased by
0.74% and for Internet businesses by 0.98%.

Our loss before minority interest for the year ended September 30, 2005 was
$368,313 compared to income of $1,129,079 for the year ended September 30, 2004.
The decrease in net income was primarily due to the loss incurred in new club
operations which amounts to $982,500. Our net income from operations for
nightclub operations was $1,723,491 for the year ended September 30, 2005
compared with $2,684,552 for the year ended September 30, 2004. Our net income
from operations for our Internet businesses was $114,500 for the year ended
September 30, 2005 compared with $88,958 for the year ended September 30, 2004.
Our income for our nightclub operations for the same-location-same-period
increased by 3.78%. Our net income for our Internet operations for the
same-web-site-same-period increased by 28.71%.

Our cost of goods sold for the year ended September 30, 2005 was 12.58% of total
revenues compared to 11.72 % of related revenues for the year ended September
30, 2004. The increase was due primarily to the addition of Rick's clubs, which
have higher cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold for the nightclub
operations for the year ended September 30, 2005 was 12.88% of our total
revenues from club operations compared to 11.86% for the year ended September
30, 2004. We continued our efforts to achieve reductions in cost of goods sold
of the club operations through improved inventory management. We are continuing
a program to improve margins from liquor and food sales and food service
efficiency. Our cost of sales from our Internet operations for the year ended
September 30, 2005 was 7.55% compared to 8.77% of related revenues for the year
ended September 30, 2004. We have implemented measures to reduce expenses in
our Internet operations.

Our payroll and related costs for the year ended September 30, 2005 were
$5,200,976 compared to $4,803,515 for the year ended September 30, 2004. The
increase was primarily due to the increase in payroll in opening new clubs. Our
payroll for our nightclub operations for same-location-same-period decreased by
4.86%. Our payroll for same-site-same-period Internet operations decreased by
1.67%. We believe that our labor and management staff levels are at appropriate
levels.

Our other general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30,
2005 were $7,458,721 compared to $6,036,401 for the year ended September 30,
2004. The increase was primarily due to the increase in taxes & permit, rent,
legal & professional, utilities, and advertising & marketing expenses from
opening new locations. Other selling, general and administrative expenses for
same-location-same-period for the nightclub operations decreased by 13.69%,
while the same expenses for same-site same-period for Internet operations
increased by 2.01%.

Our interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2005 was $699,678 compared
to $324,411 for the year ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily
due to the increase in debt in relation to the purchase and renovation of New
York club. We have increased our long term debt to $13,246,836 as of September
30, 2005 compared to debt of $3,693,560 as of September 30, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2005, we had a deficit in working capital of $2,047,725
compared to working capital of $558,797 as of September 30, 2004. Because of
the large volume of cash we handle, stringent cash controls have been
implemented. At September 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were $480,330
compared to $275,243 at September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to
the additional debt.

Our depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2005 was $573,706 compared to
$479,791 for the year ended September 30, 2004. Our amortization for the year
ended September 30, 2005 was $16,760 compared to no amortization for the period
ended September 30, 2004.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the year ended September 30, 2005
was $2,090,030 compared to $736,308 for the year ended September 30, 2004. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and decreases in prepaid
expenses and other current assets.

We used $6,307,508 of cash in investing activities for the year ended September
30, 2005 compared to $867,206 for the year ended September 30, 2004. $4,801,197
of cash was provided in financing activities for the year ended in September 30,
2005 compared to $153,749 used for the year ended September 30, 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 its common stock as
part of our share repurchase program.

On September 16, 2003, the Company was authorized by its 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 our common
stock at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share.

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 terms, respectively.

On July 22, 2005, we entered into a secured convertible debenture with one of
our 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 borrowing 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
$1,341,520.34 payable to this individual.

In our opinion, working capital is not a true indicator of our financial status.
Typically, businesses in our industry carry current liabilities in excess of
current assets because businesses in our industry receive substantially
immediate payment for sales, with nominal receivables, while inventories and
other current liabilities normally carry longer payment terms. Vendors and
purveyors often remain flexible with payment terms, providing businesses in our
industry with opportunities to adjust to short-term business down turns. We
consider the primary indicators of financial status to be the long-term trend of
revenue growth, the mix of sales revenues, overall cash flow, and profitability
from operations and the level of long-term debt.

We have not established lines of credit or financing other than the above
mentioned notes payable and 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.

We believe that the adult entertainment industry standard of treating
entertainers as independent contractors provides us with safe harbor protection
to preclude payroll tax assessment for prior years. We have prepared plans that
we believe will protect our profitability in the event that sexually oriented
business industry is required in all states to convert dancers who are now
independent contractors into employees.

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
indicates that there are no seasonal fluctuations in our Internet activities.

GROWTH STRATEGY

We believe that our nightclub 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 club and the North Carolina club, 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 us contributing equity 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 and/or acquire real estate in
connection with club operations, although some clubs may be in leased premises.

We also expect to continue to grow our Internet profit centers. We plan to focus
on high-margin Internet activities that leverage our marketing skills while
requiring a low level of start-up cost and

ongoing operating costs.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Langan and Travis Reese are our only directors who are also our officers.

We have an Audit Committee of independent directors whose members are Robert L.
Watters, Alan Bergstrom and Steven Jenkins. In May 2000, our Board of Directors
adopted a Charter for the Audit Committee. The Charter establishes the
independence of our Audit Committee and sets forth the scope of our Audit
Committee's duties. The purpose of our Audit Committee is to conduct continuing
oversight of our financial affairs. Our Audit Committee conducts an ongoing
review of our financial reports and other financial information prior to their
being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise provided

procedures of internal controls in the areas of: financial reporting, audits,
treasury operations, corporate finance, managerial, financial and SEC
accounting, compliance with law, and ethical conduct. Our Audit Committee is
objective, and reviews and assesses the work of our independent registered
public accounting firm.

All of our Audit Committee members are independent Directors. The Board of
Directors elects the Members of our Audit Committee annually. The Members serve
until their successors are duly elected and qualified. All Members of the audit
Committee are free from any relationship that could conflict with Member's
independent judgment. All Members are able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow
statement. At least one Member has past employment experience in finance or

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and
executive officers, and persons who own beneficially more than ten percent of
our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the

received and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we

believe that the directors, executive officers, and greater than ten percent
beneficial owners have complied with all applicable filing requirements.

Financial Officers, which was previously filed as Exhibit 14 to our Form 10-KSB

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that our business affairs will be
conducted in all respects by standards applicable to publicly held corporations
and that we will not enter into any future transactions and/or loans between us
and our officers, directors and 5% shareholders unless the terms are no less
favorable than could be obtained from independent, third parties and will be
approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors. In our
view, all of the transactions described below meet this standard.

In May 2002, we loaned $100,000 to Eric Langan who is our Chief Executive
Officer. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 11% and is
amortized over a period of ten years. The note contains a provision that in the
event Mr. Langan leaves the Company for any reason, the note immediately becomes
due and payable in full. The balance of the note was $78,512 at September 30,
2005 and is included in other assets in our balance sheet.

On July 22, 2005, we issued a Secured Convertible Debenture to Ralph McElroy, a
greater than 10% shareholder of the Company, for the principal sum of $660,000
bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, with a maturity date of August 1,
2008. Under the terms of the Debenture, we are

required to make monthly interest payments beginning September 1, 2005. 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
to require the Debenture to be repaid in thirty (30) equal monthly installments
commencing February 2006. The Holder has the option to convert all or any
portion of the principal amount of the Debenture into shares of our common stock
at a rate of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment under certain conditions.
The Debenture provides, absent shareholder approval, that the number of shares
of our common stock that may be issued by us or acquired by the Holder upon
conversion of the Debenture shall not exceed 19.99% of the total number of
issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The Debenture is secured by
certain of our assets. Additionally, we issued Mr. McElroy a Warrant to purchase
50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share until
July 22, 2008. The shares of Common Stock underlying the principal amount of the
Debenture and the Warrants have piggyback registration rights.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rick's Cabaret International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rick's Cabaret
International, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rick's Cabaret
International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

A. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. (the "Company") is a Texas corporation
incorporated in 1994. The Company currently owns and operates nightclubs that
offer live adult entertainment, restaurant, and bar operations. These nightclubs
are located in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas, as well as Minneapolis,
Minnesota, Charlotte, North Carolina, and New York, New York. The Company also
owns and operates several adult entertainment Internet websites. The Company's
corporate offices are located in Houston, Texas.

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements
follows:

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accounts are maintained and the consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2005 and
2004, the Company had no such investments. The Company maintains deposits
primarily in one financial institution, which may at times exceed amounts
covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). At September 30, 2005, the uninsured portion of these deposits
approximated $27,000. There were no uninsured deposits at September 30, 2004.
The Company has not incurred any losses related to its cash on deposit with
financial institutions.

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities at September 30, 2005 and 2004 consist of common stock.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires certain investments
be recorded at fair value or amortized cost. The appropriate classification of
the investments in marketable equity is determined at the time of purchase and
re-evaluated at each balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2005 and 2004, the
Company's marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale, which are
carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as other
comprehensive income within the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. The cost of marketable equity securities sold is
determined on a specific identification basis. The fair value of marketable
equity securities is based on quoted market prices. There has been no realized
gains related to marketable securities for the year ended September 30, 2005.
Marketable securities held at September 30, 2005 and 2004 have a cost basis of
approximately $13,000.

INVENTORIES

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for financial
reporting purposes. Buildings have estimated useful lives ranging from 31 to 40
years. Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements have estimated useful
lives between five and ten years. Expenditures for major renewals and
betterments that extend the useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for
normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost of assets
sold or abandoned and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from
the accounts and any gains or losses are charged or credited in the accompanying
statement of operations of the respective period.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 and annual 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. The Company began deferring such revenue in the quarter
ended March 31, 2004, and this amount is recorded in accrued liabilities.

If the Company had deferred membership revenue and recognized it based on the
lives above prior to January 1, 2004, the impact on revenue and net income
recognized would have been increases of approximately $3,600 and $47,000 for
the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This would have also
resulted in an increase in the deferred revenue balance of approximately $0 and
$12,000 as of September 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.

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 as revenues are
not deemed estimable nor collection deemed probable prior to that point.

ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

Advertising and marketing expenses are primarily comprised of costs related to
public advertisements and giveaways, which are used for promotional purposes.
Advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in
operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any
deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not
that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of
net income and gains (losses) on available-for-sale marketable securities and is
presented in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 provides for the calculation of basic and
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and
is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings of the Company. The impact of dilutive stock options does not change
earnings per share, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same.

Stock options of approximately 733,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004,
have been excluded from earnings per share due to the stock options being
anti-dilutive. All options were excluded for the year ended September 30, 2005
due to the Company's net loss.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of
its assets and liabilities which

F - 11

RICK'S CABARET INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this
additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when
the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial
instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively
short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short and long-term
debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of
interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

STOCK OPTIONS

At September 30, 2005, the Company has stock options outstanding, which are
described more fully in Note G. The Company accounts for its stock options under
the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
stock-based employee compensation.

The following presents pro forma net income and per share data as if a fair

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

On November 15, November 17, and December 30, 2004, the Company borrowed
$590,000, $1,042,000, and $1,270,000, 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, $10,056, and $12,256, respectively. The
notes are secured by our properties located at 2023 Sable Lane, San Antonio, 410
N. Sam Houston Pkwy. E., and 3113 Bering Drive, Houston, Texas. The money
received from this financing was used for the acquisition and renovation of the
New York club.

As a part of the purchase the North Carolina club, the Company issued 180,000
shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3.75 per share and entered into
a seven year promissory note in the amount of $325,000 bearing interest at the
rate of 7% per annum. The note is payable with an initial payment due November
1, 2005, of interest only for the period of time from the date of Closing until
October 31, 2005, plus a principal reduction payment in the amount of $3,009.
Thereafter, RCI Entertainment North Carolina, Inc., the Company's subsidiary,
will make eighty-three (83) successive equal monthly payments commencing
December 1, 2005, of principal and interest in the amount of $4,905 until paid
in full. The note is secured by the assets of RCI Entertainment North Carolina,
Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the note, on or after November 1, 2005, the
holder shall have the right, but not the obligation to have the Company purchase
from the holder 4,285 shares per month, calculated at a price per share equal to
$3.75 until the holder has received a total of $1,000,000 from the sale of the
shares less the amount of the note. At the Company's election during any given
month, the Company may either buy the monthly shares or, if the Company elects
not to buy the monthly shares from the holder, then the holder shall sell the
monthly shares in the open market. Any deficiency between the amount which the
holder receives from the sale of the monthly shares and the value of the shares
shall be paid by the Company within three (3) days of the date of sale of the
monthly shares during that particular month. The Company's obligation to
purchase the monthly shares from the holder shall terminate and cease at such
time as the holder has received a total of $1,000,000 from the sale of the
shares, less the amount of the note.

On July 22, 2005, the Company entered into a secured convertible debenture with
one of its shareholders for a principal sum of $660,000. The debenture is
convertible into 220,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion
price of $3.00 per share at the option of the holder. 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 detachable warrants at $3.00 per share in
relation to this debenture. The value of the discount on notes payable was
estimated to be $106,656 at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. For the year ending September 30, 2005, the Company
recorded $5,925 interest expense. The debenture is secured by Company's
ownership in Citation Land, LLC and RCI Holdings, Inc., both are wholly owned
subsidiaries.

As a part of the purchase the New York club, the Company obtained a $5.125
million in a promissory note bearing simple interest at the rate of 4.0% per

F. INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

The Company has established a valuation allowance to fully reserve the deferred
tax assets at September 30, 2005 and 2004 due to the uncertainty of the timing
and amounts of future taxable income. At September 30, 2005, the Company had
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,149,000, which expire in
2017 through 2020.

G. STOCK OPTIONS

In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") for
employees and directors. In August 1999 the Company adopted the 1999 Stock
Option Plan (the "1999 Plan") (collectively, "the Plans"). The options granted
under the Plans may be either incentive stock options, or non-qualified options.
The Plans are administered by the Board of Directors or by a compensation
committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the exclusive
power to select individuals to receive grants, to establish the terms of the
options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be
granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of
the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all
determinations necessary or advisable under the Plans.

Following is a summary of options for the years ended September 30:

WEIGHTED WEIGHTED

Outstanding at beginning of year 908,000 $ 2.39 498,000 $ 2.35
Granted 90,000 2.80 575,000 2.46

=========== ===========
Weighted-average remaining
contractual life 2.84 years 3.12 years
=========== ===========

As of September 30, 2005, the range of exercise prices for outstanding options
was $1.40 -$2.80.

The Company has elected to follow APB No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation, requires the use of option valuation models that were not
developed for use in valuing employee stock options. See footnote B for related
disclosures.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

G. STOCK OPTIONS - CONTINUED

Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of
the Company's employee stock option equals the fair value of the underlying
stock on the date of grant. Compensation equal to the intrinsic value of
employee stock options is recorded when the exercise price of the stock option
is less than the fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Any
resulting compensation is amortized to expense over the remaining vesting
periods of the options on a straight-line basis. For the years ended September
30, 2005 and 2004, no amounts were recorded to compensation expense related to
stock options issued to employees.

Information regarding pro forma net income is required by SFAS 123, and has been
determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under
the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of these options was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model using
the following weighted average assumptions:

2005 2004
--------------------

Volatility 137% 137%
Expected lives 3 years 3.3 years
Expected dividend yield - -
Risk free rates 4.31% 3.45%

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.

H. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating leases, of
which rent expense was approximately $558,000 and $536,000 for the years ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Rent expense for the Company's operating leases, which generally have escalating
rentals over the term of the lease, is recorded using the straight line method
over the initial lease term whereby an equal amount of rent expense is
attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when
actual payments are made. Generally, this results in rent expense in excess of
cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash
payments in the later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and
actual rental payments is recorded as other long-term liability in the
consolidated balance sheets.

LEGAL MATTERS

Sexually Oriented Business Ordinance Of Houston, Texas

In January 1997, the City Council of the City of Houston passed a comprehensive
new Ordinance regulating the location of and the conduct within Sexually
Oriented Businesses (the "Ordinance"). The Ordinance established new minimum
distances that Sexually Oriented Businesses may be located from schools,
churches, playgrounds and other sexually oriented businesses. There were no
provisions in the Ordinance exempting previously permitted sexually oriented
businesses from the effect of the new Ordinance. In 1997, the Company was
informed that one of the Company's Houston locations at 3113 Bering Drive failed
to meet the requirements of the Ordinance and accordingly the renewal of the
Company's Business License at that location was denied.

The Company filed a request with the City of Houston requesting an extension of
time during which operations at the Company's north Houston facility could
continue under the Amortization Period provisions of the Ordinance since the
Company was unable to recoup its investment prior to the effective date of the
Ordinance. An administrative hearing was held by the City of Houston to
determine the appropriate Amortization Period to be granted to the Company. At
the Hearing, the Company was granted an amortization period that has since been
reached. The Company has the right to appeal any decision of the Hearing
official to the district court in the State of Texas.

In May 1997, the City of Houston agreed to defer implementation of the Ordinance
until the constitutionality of the entire Ordinance was decided by court trial.
In February 1998, the U.S.

District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, struck down
certain provisions of the Ordinance, including the provision mandating a 1,500
foot distance between a club and schools, churches and other sexually oriented
business, leaving intact the provision of the 750 foot distance as it existed
prior to the Ordinance.

The City of Houston has appealed the District Court's rulings with the Fifth
Circuit Court of Appeals. In the event that the City of Houston is successful
in the appeal, the Company could be out of compliance and such an outcome could
have an adverse impact on the Company's future. The permits for the Company's
north Houston location and Bering Drive location have expired.

There are other provisions in the Houston, Texas Ordinance, such as provisions
governing the level of lighting in a sexually oriented business, the distance
between a customer and dancer while the dancer is performing in a state of
undress and provisions regarding the licensing of dancers and club managers that
were upheld by the court which may be detrimental to the Company's business.
The Company, in concert with other sexually oriented businesses, is appealing
these aspects of the Ordinance.

In November, 2003, a three judge panel from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
published their Opinion which affirmed the Trial Court's ruling regarding
lighting levels, customer and dancer separation distances and licensing of
dancers and staff. The Court of Appeals, however, did not follow the Trial
Court's ruling regarding the distance from which a club may be located from a
church or school. The Court of Appeals held that a distance measurement of
1,500 feet would be upheld upon a showing by the City of Houston that its claims
that there were alternative sites available for relocating the clubs could be
substantiated. The case was remanded for trial on the issue of the alternative
sites.

OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

Management believes that the Company is not liable for any of the damages and
that the Company is covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Dram Shop Act,
which render certain compliant establishments not liable for the acts of their
patrons. The Company is not aware of any insurance coverage for this claim.
The Company denies that the Company has any liability for the accident and is
vigorously defending the matter.

Discovery is ongoing and the Company has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on
behalf of Rick's which is currently pending.

For all the above legal matters, no contingent reserves as liabilities have been
recorded in the accompanying balance sheets as such potential losses are not
deemed probable or estimable.

I. LINE-OF-CREDIT

The Company has available a $100,000 unsecured line-of-credit with a bank.
Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance at a floating rate of
prime plus 1.5% (8.25% at September 30, 2005). This arrangement is subject to
renewal in June 2006. The amount outstanding under this agreement at September
30, 2005 was $94,888, with the remainder available for future borrowing.

over a five year period. As a part of the transaction, Trumps, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, and Tantric, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RCI
Ventures., entered into a five year lease agreement for the property located at
5718 Fairdale, Houston, Texas. The Company has recorded a $163,739 deferred
gain related to this transaction for the year ended September 30, 2004. The
gain will be recognized upon collection of the note receivable. 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. The deferred gain

On January 18, 2005, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment
New York, Inc., a New York corporation ("RCI New York") completed the
acquisition of Peregrine Enterprises, Inc. ("Peregrine"), which operated the

owns and operates an adult entertainment cabaret located in midtown Manhattan.
The cabaret club is located near the Empire State Building and Madison Square
Garden, and is less than 10 blocks from Times Square. 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 and transaction costs of $150,000. The Promissory Note is payable
commencing 151 days after Closing as follows: (a) the payment of $58,333.33 per
month for twenty-four (24) consecutive months; (b) the payment of $63,333.33 for
twenty-four (24) consecutive months; (c) the payment of $68,333.33 for twelve
(12) consecutive months; and (d) a lump sum payment of the remaining balance to
be paid on the sixty-first (61st) month. $2,000,000 of the principal amount of
the Promissory Note is convertible into shares of restricted common stock at
prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.50 per share. The parties also entered into a
Stock Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement to secure the Promissory Note. The
results of operations of the club are included in the Company's consolidated

On March 31, 2005, the Company completed the sale of one of its clubs known as
'Rick's South' to MBG Acquisition LLC for cash $550,000. In connection with the
sale, the Company recorded a gain of $291,987. The club's business was
accounted for as a discontinued operation 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 and
such assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2004 have been included under
"Net assets of discontinued operation" in the accompanying balance sheet.

The name of the club had been changed from 'The Manhattan Club' (5300 Old
Pineville Road) to 'Rick's Cabaret'. The purchase price of the transaction 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% per annum. 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 our consolidated
statement of operations from February 1, 2005, when the Company assumed risk of
loss for the club's operations under a management agreement.
