Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. Updates 2007 Guidance and Projects 2008 Outlook with Future Expansion Plans

HOUSTON -(February 13, 2007)- Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ:RICK], issued new guidance to investors today based on anticipated revenues and earnings from the prospective purchase of a gentlemen's club in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.
 
The company said during a conference call that it anticipates the new club will generate annual revenues in excess of $4 million and about $800,000 in after tax net earnings in the first full year after the closing of the acquisition. Based on an expected closing by the end of April, the DFW acquisition could add $0.06 per share during the second half of fiscal 2007.  At the end of December 2006, prior to making this acquisition, the company had projected EPS of $0.48.
 
In 2008, Rick's Cabaret expects that business from its current clubs will continue to improve. Strong upside is anticipated from the club in New York as well as from the newly opened or re-launched clubs that are in their ramp-up phase. In addition, the company’s goal is to acquire clubs doing an additional $15 million in annual revenues. Rick's Cabaret has already identified several potential acquisitions, although there is no guarantee that these specific acquisitions will be consummated. The company believes that it will pay 3-6x earnings for these acquisitions.
 
Based on these assumptions, Rick's Cabaret believes that revenues in the year ending September 2008 will be $48-$50 million, net income will be $6 million, and fully taxed EPS will be approximately $0.85.
 
Mr. Langan said factors that could impact earnings include the company's ability to locate potential targets to acquire, complete its planned acquisitions and other new acquisitions, obtain satisfactory financing on acceptable terms and conditions and grow revenues at existing clubs.  The company has signed a letter of intent to acquire the club in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, but has not yet revealed the name or location of the establishment.
 
The company's estimates are based on management's budgets and estimates for the 13 clubs it currently owns or operates and the acquisition of the Dallas-Ft. Worth club during 2007.  The estimates for 2008 are based on management's budgets and estimates for the 2007 clubs and acquisition plans for additional club purchases in 2007 and 2008.
 
The company anticipates normal debt service for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, and anticipates the sale of common stock during the year ended September 30, 2007 as part of its financing plan.  If any changes in these activities were to occur during the periods in question, the results of the company's operations would be affected and the company would amend the guidance estimates.
