ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

     Our name is Rick's Cabaret International, Inc.  We currently own and
operate seven adult nightclubs under the names "Rick's Cabaret" and "XTC" that
offer live adult entertainment, restaurant and bar operations.  Our nightclubs
are in Houston, Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.  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,
M4Mcouples.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.  M4Mcouples.com is a personals site for
gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.  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


                                        1
<PAGE>
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, 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


                                        2
<PAGE>
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 have two Rick's Cabaret and one Club Onyx
locations in Houston, Texas and one Rick's Cabaret in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
We also 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
sport bar called "Hummers".

     On February 19, 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.  Goodwill of $79,842 was recorded during fiscal year
2003 as a result of this acquisition.

     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 own 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.

     In May 2003, we opened a sports bar called "Hummers", which is located next
to Wild Horse Cabaret, in Houston, Texas.

     We sold our New Orleans nightclub in March 1999, but it continues to use
our name under a licensing agreement.  We continually explore expansion
opportunities to open or acquire more


                                        3
<PAGE>
nightclubs in strategically valuable locations in the United States.

     On June 12, 2003, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Taurus
Entertainment Companies, Inc. ("Taurus"), whereby we acquired all the assets and
liabilities of Taurus in exchange for 3,752,008 shares of Taurus 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.  The monthly
payment is $1,557.11 with first payment to begin on October 1, 2004.

     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 fifth XTC Cabaret.  As
a part of the transaction, we entered into a new five-year lease with an option
for five additional years.  The results of operations of this new venue are
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition.  The $265,000 all-cash purchase transaction generated goodwill of
$20,000 and property and equipment at $245,000.

     On September 15, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (New
York), Inc., a New York corporation ("RCI New York"), entered into a definitive
Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") with Peregrine
Enterprises, Inc., a New York corporation ("Peregrine") and its shareholders,
pursuant to which RCI New York agreed to purchase all of the shares of common
stock of Peregrine. Peregrine 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 Stock Purchase Agreement provides for closing the transaction on or
before December 1, 2004, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions,
including obtaining adequate financing, transfer of all existing licenses and
permits to RCI New York, obtaining consent of the Landlord, execution of a
Non-Disturbance Agreement, and other conditions consistent with transactions of
this type.  The closing date has been extended to January 15, 2005.

     Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the
transaction is $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"). 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 will also enter a
Stock Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement to secure the Promissory Note.

     Upon closing of the transaction, the owners of Peregrine will enter into a
five-year covenant not to compete with Peregrine, RCI New York, or the Company.
We intend to rename the cabaret club as "Rick's Cabaret" which will occupy
10,000 square feet on three levels, with an additional 4,000 square feet
available for office space.

     The terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement were the result of
extensive arm's length negotiations between the parties.

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 year 2002 and M4Mcouples.com in year 2003.  CouplesTouch.com
caters to those in the swinging lifestyle.  It is essentially a dating site for
couples.  M4Mcouples.com is a similar site catering to the gay, lesbian, and
bisexual lifestyles.  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 we compete with.

     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.

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 6 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.

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


                                        5
<PAGE>
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 five 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.

     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.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

     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
(the "TABC"), which has the authority, in its discretion, to issue the
appropriate permits.  We presently hold a Mixed Beverage Permit and a Late Hour
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 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 has 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" (the
"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 ("Business Permit") is not
subject to discretion; the Business Permit must be granted if the proposed
operation satisfies the requirements of the Ordinance. See Item 3. "Legal
Proceedings".

     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 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, 2004, we had approximately 529 employees of which 47
are in management positions, including corporate and administrative operation
and approximately 482 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 27, 2004 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 10950 Cutten Road, Houston,

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


                                        9
<PAGE>
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.

     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.

     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 sometime in mid-2006 or later.  Under the
holding  of  the  First  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, 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.  It is probable that
this suit will proceed to trial if we elect to continue our present
entertainment format.

</TABLE>


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 2004, 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 $2.54 per
share and expire in September 2009.

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, 2004, 908,000 stock options are presently outstanding under the
1999 Plan, none of which have been exercised.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we had no sales of
unregistered shares of our

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 annual report.

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 Form 10-KSB 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 Form 10-KSB, 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.

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, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. We also own and operate a sport
     bar called the "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 three adult Internet membership Web sites at
          www.couplestouch.com, www.M4Mcouples.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 service. 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.

     We performed our annual evaluation on goodwill impairment as of September
30, 2004.  No impairment losses were identified as a result of this evaluation.

     Beginning in fiscal 2002 and continuing through fiscal 2004, 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.

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 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.  Notes receivable are included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  We recognize 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, 2004 and 2003.

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.


                                       15
<PAGE>
Marketable Securities

     Marketable  securities  at  September  30,  2004 and 2003 consist of common
stock.  As  of  September 30, 2004 and 2003, 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

     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 seven 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

     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.  We adopted
SFAS  effective  October  1,  2001.

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 composed 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


                                       16
<PAGE>
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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AS COMPARED
TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

     For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, we had consolidated total
revenues of $15,959,684, compared to consolidated total revenues of $15,059,569
for the year ended September 30, 2003.  This was an increase of $900,115 or
5.97%.  While we had an increase in total revenues in our existing and new
nightclub operations of $1,156,950, the decrease in total revenues resulted from
our Internet businesses was $256,835.  Revenues from nightclub operations for
same-location same-period increased by 5.88%, while revenues of Internet
businesses for same-sites same-period decreased by 24.38%.  The overall increase
was primarily due to the increase in revenues of our existing and new club
operations.

     Our net income before minority interest for the year ended September 30,
2004 was $780,029 compared to $403,936 for the year ended September 30, 2003.
The increase in net income was primarily due to the increase of income from
operations.  Our net income from operations for nightclub operations was
$2,542,482 for the year ended September 30, 2004 compared with $1,934,150 for
the year ended September 30, 2003.  Our net income from operations for our
Internet businesses was $88,958 for the year ended September 30, 2004 compared
with $36,421 for the year ended September 30, 2003.  Our net income for our
nightclub operations for the same-location-same-period increased by 35.48%.  Our
net income for our Internet operations for the same-web-site-same-period
increased by 144.25%.

     Our cost of goods sold for the year ended September 30, 2004 was 12.42% of
total revenues compared to 14.58 % of related revenues for the year ended
September 30, 2003.  The decrease was due primarily to decrease in costs of our
Internet activities and an addition of XTC club, which has low cost of goods
sold.  Our cost of goods sold for the nightclub operations for the year ended
September 30, 2004 was 12.55% of our total revenues from club operations
compared to 14.40% for the year ended September 30, 2003.  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, 2004 was
8.77% compared to 17.41% of related revenues for the year ended September 30,
2003.  We have implemented measures to reduce expenses in our Internet
operations.

     Our payroll and related costs for the year ended September 30, 2004 were
$5,491,401 compared to $5,393,708 for the year ended September 30, 2003.  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
1.14%.  Our payroll for same-site-same-period Internet operations increased by
6.53%. 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, 2004 were $7,419,507 compared to $7,112,974 for the year ended September 30,
2003. The increase was primarily due to the increase in taxes & permit, rent,
insurance, utilities, and advertising &


                                       17
<PAGE>
marketing expenses from opening new locations.  Other selling, general and
administrative expenses for same-location-same-period for the nightclub
operations increased by 5.32%, while the same expenses for same-site same-period
for Internet operations decreased by 37.27%.

     Our interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2004 was $344,438
compared to $384,221 for the year ended September 30, 2003.  The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in debt.  We have decreased our long term debt to
$3,881,610 as of September 30, 2004 compared to debt of $4,026,335 as of
September 30, 2003.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 2004, we had working capital of $464,218 compared to
working capital of $52,305 as of September 30, 2003. Because of the large volume
of cash we handle, stringent cash controls have been implemented. At September
30, 2004, our cash and cash equivalents were $278,185 compared to $604,865 at
September 30, 2003. The decrease was due to the money that we set aside in an
escrow account in relation to our plan to purchase a club in New York. The total
amount in the escrow account is $800,000, $550,000 of which is fully refundable
to us in case the transaction is not completed.

     Our net cash provided by operating activities in the year ended September
30, 2004 was $497,941 compared to $586,326 for the year ended September 30,
2003. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to
the money that set aside in an escrow account in relation to our plan to
purchase a club in New York offset by increases in net income and accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. The total amount in the escrow account is
$800,000, with $550,000 of which is fully refundable to us in case the
transaction is not completed.

     Our depreciation for the year ended September 30, 2004 was $544,137
compared to $531,561 for the year ended September 30, 2003.

     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.

     On  November 15 and 17, 2004, the Company borrowed $590,000 and $1,042,000,
respectively, from a financial institution at annual interest rate of 10% over a
10  year  term.  The  monthly  payment  of principal and interest are $5,694 and
$10,056, respectively.  On November 30, 2004, the Company borrowed $900,000 from
an  unrelated  individual  at 11% annual interest rate over a 10 year term.  The
monthly  payment  of  principal and interest is $9,290.  The money received from
this  financing  will  be  used  for  the  acquisition  of  New  York  club.

     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.


                                       18
<PAGE>
     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 significantly 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 planned acquisition of the New York 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.

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 $85,955 at September 30,
2004  and  is  included  in  other  assets  in  our  balance  sheet.

             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., a Texas Corporation, and subsidiaries, as of September 30,
2004  and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, 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
examining,  on  a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  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, 2004 and 2003, 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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003


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.  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

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.  Actual  results  could  differ from these
estimates  and  assumptions.

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, 2004 and
2003,  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,  2003,  the  uninsured  portion  of these deposits
approximated  $95,000.  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.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Accounts  receivable  trade  is  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.  Notes receivable are included in other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  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, 2004 and
2003.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable  securities  at  September 30, 2004 and 2003 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, 2004 and 2003, 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.   The Company had realized
gains  of  approximately  $20,000  related to marketable securities for the year
ended  September 30, 2004.  Marketable securities held at September 30, 2004 and
2003  have  a  cost  basis  of  approximately $13,000 and $15,000, respectively.

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.

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  seven  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.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

GOODWILL

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, 2004.  No impairment losses were identified as a
result  of  this  evaluation.

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 an increase of approximately $47,000 and a decrease
of  approximately  $19,000  for  the  years  ended  September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.  This  would  have  also  resulted  in an increase in the deferred
revenue  balance  of  approximately $12,000 and $59,000 as of September 30, 2004
and  2003,  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 composed 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 income.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

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 and 498,000 for the years ended September
30,  2004 and 2003, respectively, have been excluded from earnings per share due
to  the  stock  options  being  anti-dilutive.

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
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,  2004,  the  Company has stock options outstanding, which are
described more fully in Note F. 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

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  is  effective at the end of the first interim period ending after March 15,
2004.  Entities  that  have  adopted  FIN  46  prior  to this effective date can
continue to apply the provision of FIN 46 until the effective date of FIN 46R or
elect  early  adoption  of  FIN 46R.  The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not
have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's consolidated financial statements.

In  March  2004,  the FASB ratified the recognition and measurement guidance and
certain disclosure requirements for impaired securities as described in Emerging
Issues  Task  Force  (EITF)  Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment  and  Its  Application  to  Certain Investments. The Company does not
believe  the  adoption  of  the  recognition  and

The  Company has established a valuation allowance to fully reserve the deferred
tax  assets  at September 30, 2004 and 2003 due to the uncertainty of the timing
and  amounts  of  future taxable income.  At September 30, 2004, the Company had
net  oerating loss carryforwards of approximately $415,000, which expire in 2011
through  2018.


F.  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

</TABLE>

As  of  September 30, 2004, the range of exercise prices for outstanding options
was  $1.40  -  $2.56.

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.

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,  2004  and 2003, 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:

                         ----------------------

Volatility                     137%        165%
Expected lives           3.3 years   3.0 years
Expected dividend yield          -           -
Risk free rates               3.45%       3.00%

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.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


I.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In May 2002, the Company loaned $100,000 to Eric Langan, Chief Executive Officer
of  the  Company.  The 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 approximately $86,000 and $93,000
at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and is included in other assets in
the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.


J.  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN

The  Company  sponsors  a  Simple IRA plan (the "Plan"), which covers all of the
Company's  corporate  employees.  The  Plan  allows  the  corporate employees to
contribute  up  to  the maximum amount allowed by law, with the Company making a
matching  contribution  of  3%  of  the  employee's salary.  Expenses related to
matching  contributions  to  the  Plan  approximated $23,000 and $24,000 for the
years  ended  September  30,  2004  and  2003,  respectively.


K.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On February 19, 2003, the Company acquired 51% control of the Wild Horse Cabaret
adult  nightclub  near Hobby Airport, Houston, Texas and will operate it as part
of  the  Company's popular XTC Cabaret group. The purchase price was $150,000 of
which  approximately $70,000 was allocated to property and equipment and $80,000
was  allocated  to  goodwill.

In  April  2003,  the  Company  organized  RCI Ventures Inc. ("RCI Ventures") to
acquire  from  an  unrelated party Nocturnal Concepts, Inc. ("Nocturnal"), which
operates  as  an  addition  to  the  Company's  XTC  Cabaret  group. The Company
transferred  its  ownership  of  Tantric  Enterprises,  Inc.  ("Tantric") to RCI
Ventures  and  as  a  result  of  these  transactions the Company obtained a 51%
interest  in  RCI  Ventures.  RCI  Ventures  is  comprised solely of Tantric and
Nocturnal.  The  other 49% owner is an unrelated individual who previously owned
100%  of  Nocturnal. The unrelated individual brings significant club experience
to  RCI  Ventures.

The  transaction  was  accounted for as an exchange of non-monetary assets under
APB  No.  29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. The exchange was not the
culmination of an earnings process, but instead was an agreement under which the
two  stockholders  share  profits  from  the  newly  formed  RCI  Ventures  on a
prospective  basis based on respective equity ownership. As a result, no step up
in  basis  was  recorded  at the acquisition date, and the Company recognized no
gain  or  loss.

On  June  12,  2003,  the  Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with
Taurus  Entertainment  Companies,  Inc. ("Taurus"), whereby the Company acquired
all  the  assets  and  liabilities of Taurus in exchange for 3,752,008 shares of
Taurus  of  the  4,002,008  that  the  Company  owned  plus $20,000 in cash from
Bluestar  Physical Therapy, Inc. ("Bluestar"), the acquirer of the Taurus public
shell.  As the Company is publicly traded it was determined that the Company had
no  future  use  for the Taurus public shell and the Company wanted to eliminate
the

related  costs  associated  with  owning  a  separate public entity. The Company
negotiated  to  retain  250,000 shares of Taurus to participate in the potential
future  gains  from  an  investment  in  Taurus.

The  Company also executed an Indemnification and Transaction Fee Agreement (the
"Agreement")  totaling $340,000 for which the Company received $270,000, payable
$140,000  at  closing,  with  $60,000  due  on July 15, 2003, and $70,000 due on
August 15, 2003. The remaining outstanding balance of $70,000 is due in the near
term.  Management has assessed the collectibility of the outstanding balance and
believes it is fully collectible as it is collateralized by three million shares
of  Taurus  stock  held  in  escrow.

In  accordance  with  the  Agreement,  the  Company  is  to indemnify Taurus for
liabilities  assumed  by the Company, which were included in the closing balance
sheet,  and  liabilities that exist or may arise in the future related to Taurus
prior  to  or  as  of  the  closing  date  of  the  transaction.  An  additional
significant  consideration  of  this agreement was to compensate the Company for
the  time and effort expended to assist in the consummation of this transaction.
The  indemnification  was  requested  by  Bluestar,  as  Bluestar  did  not have
experience with the Company's adult entertainment industry and therefore did not
believe  they  had  a  basis to determine what, if any, obligations could exist.
The  operations  of  Bluestar  are  focused  in  the  medical  industry.  The

Company  previously  consolidated Taurus' financial position, in accordance with
the consolidation method of accounting, as the Company owned greater than 50% of
Taurus'  shares  prior  to  consummating this transaction, which resulted in the
Company  properly  including  all  of  Taurus'  related  liabilities  in  its
consolidated  financial  statements.  As  of  the  date  of the transaction, the
Company  determined  that  it was not probable that there would be any claims to
indemnify  in the future.  No claims have arisen subsequent to the completion of
the  transaction.   The  gain  on  the sale of the transaction included $270,000
from  the  Agreement,  and  the  Company has recognized a $342,000 gain in total
related  to  this  transaction  for  the  year  ended  September  30,  2003.

On March 3, 2004, the Company acquired the assets and business of a 7,000 square
foot  gentlemen's  club  in  North Houston and it became the Company's fifth XTC
Cabaret.  As a part of the transaction, the Company entered into a new five-year
lease  with  an  option for five additional years.  The results of operations of
this  new  venue  are  included  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  from  the  date  of  acquisition.  The  $265,000  all-cash  purchase
transaction  generated goodwill of $20,000.  Proforma results of operations have
not  been  provided, as the amounts were not deemed material to the consolidated
financial  statements.

On  September 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
an  unrelated  third  party,  whereby  the Company sold all of its 510 shares of
common  stock  of  RCI  Ventures,  Inc.  for  $15,000  cash  and a $235,000 note
receivable  bearing  interest at a rate of 6% 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.

OFFICE  BUILDING

On  August  12,  2004,  the  Company entered into a purchase commitment to buy a
9,000  square  foot  office  building for $512,739, payable with $86,279 cash at
closing  and  the remainder with a fifteen year promissory note bearing interest
at  7%.  The Company closed this transaction in mid December 2004.

ACQUISITION  OF  NEW  YORK  CLUB

On  September 15, 2004, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, RCI Entertainment
New  York,  Inc.,  a  New  York  corporation  ("RCI  New  York"), entered into a
definitive  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Stock  Purchase  Agreement") with
Peregrine  Enterprises,  Inc.,  a  New  York  corporation  ("Peregrine") and its
shareholders,  pursuant  to  which  RCI  New  York agreed to purchase all of the
shares  of  common  stock  of  Peregrine.  Peregrine  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 Stock Purchase Agreement provides for closing the
transaction  on  or  before December 1, 2004, subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions, including obtaining adequate financing, the transfer of all existing
licenses  and  permits  to  RCI  New  York,  obtaining  consent of the Landlord,
execution  of  a Non-Disturbance Agreement, and other conditions consistent with
transactions  of  this type.  The closing has been extended to January 15, 2005.

Under  the  terms  of  the  Stock  Purchase Agreement, the purchase price of the
transaction  is $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").  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 restricted common stock at
prices  ranging  from  $4.00  to  $7.50 per share. The parties will also enter a
Stock  Pledge  Agreement  and  Security Agreement to secure the Promissory Note.

Upon  closing of the transaction, the owners of Peregrine will enter a five-year
covenant not to compete with Peregrine, RCI New York or the Company. The Company
intends  to rename the cabaret club as "Rick's Cabaret" which will occupy 10,000
square  feet on three levels, with an additional 4,000 square feet available for
office  space.
