Rick's Cabaret International Reports Operating Results for its Third Quarter, Ending June 30, 2003



HOUSTON
-- (August 19, 2003) --
Rick's Cabaret International, Inc.,
which operates gentlemen's clubs and adult Internet sites, reported consolidated total revenues of $3,822,141 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to consolidated total revenues of $3,952,069 for the similar period last year. The decrease of $129,928 was primarily due to a drop in Internet-related revenues. Net income for the three months was $276,201 compared to a net income of $223,206 for the same period last year, primarily due to the sale of a subsidiary. Earnings per share were $.07 versus $.06.

In its most recent 10QSB filing to the SEC, Rick's Cabaret management said it believes "we are seeing the bottoming out of Internet revenues due to the aging of the adult Internet marketing programs for adult sites." While revenue for the Company's content membership site has continued to decline, revenues from auction sites continues to increase, and the company started charging for membership to www.couplestouch.com in February 2003. The www.couplestouch.com site serves as a dating site for couples seeking others for sexual relationships/friendships.

Revenues at the company's nightclubs division increased quarter-on-quarter from $3.378 million to $3.572 million, or nearly six percent. The company executed sales agreement for its Taurus Entertainment Companies subsidiary, recording a $327,000 gain.
