Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. Reports Net Income Of $1,031,727 For Third Quarter, Up 62 Percent Over 2006; Earnings Are 17 Cents vs. 13 Cents

HOUSTON-(August 14, 2007)-Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ:RICK] operator of upscale gentlemen's clubs, today reported net income of $1,031,727 for its third quarter ending June 30, 2007, an increase of 62 percent over the $635,857 reported for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net income per basic share was 17 cents, compared with 13 cents in the previous year.

Income before income taxes for same-location-same-period of nightclub operations increased 42 percent to $1,901,468 in the third quarter this year, from $1,338,462 for same period last year.

Rick's Cabaret had consolidated total revenues of $8,446,351 for the quarter, compared to consolidated total revenues of $6,251,181 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 35 percent that was primarily attributable to $1,601,224 generated by new nightclubs in San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth, Texas and an increase of $599,399 from other locations. Total revenues for same-location-same-period of club operations increased just over 10 percent. The company reported a 2.77 percent decrease in internet revenues to $191,553.

"We are very pleased with the results for our third quarter," said Eric Langan, President and CEO of the company. "Revenues from the newly acquired locations are beginning to make the contributions we had anticipated and our existing nightclubs are also growing steadily."

Interest expense for the period was $345,130 compared to $267,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to new debt to finance the purchase and renovation of the new clubs. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of long-term debt including current maturities was $14,895,002 compared to $12,316,144 a year earlier.

Cash flows from operating activities during the first three quarters were $2,652,237, a 52 percent increase compared with the $1,747,107 generated during the period in 2006.

Mr. Langan and chief financial officer Phillip Marshall will discuss the third quarter results in a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. EDT. The call is being webcast and can be accessed through the Rick’s Cabaret website (www.ricks.com).
