ITEM 2.01
COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On March 31, 2008, our subsidiary, RCI Entertainment (Austin), Inc. (“RCI”), completed the acquisition of 49% of the membership interest of Playmates Gentlemen’s Club, LLC (“Playmates”) from Behzad Bahrami (“Seller”), creating 100% ownership in RCI.  Playmates owns an adult entertainment cabaret known as “Playmates” (the “Club”) located at 8110 Springdale Road, Austin, Texas 78724 (the “Premises”).  Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, RCI paid a total purchase price of $1,401,711.30 which was paid $701,711.30 in cash and debt forgiveness at the time of closing and the issuance of 35,000 shares of our restricted common stock valued at $20.00 per share (the “Shares”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on or after one year after the closing date, the Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation to have us purchase from Seller 5,000 Shares per month (the “Monthly Shares”), calculated at a price per share equal to $20.00 (“Value of the Shares”).  Seller shall notify us during any given month of its election to “Put” the Monthly Shares to us during that particular month.  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 the Seller, then the Seller shall sell the Monthly Shares in the open market.  Any deficiency between the amount which the Seller receives from the sale of the Monthly Shares and the Value of the Shares shall be paid by us within three (3) business days of the date of sale of the Monthly Shares during that particular month.  Our obligation to purchase the Monthly Shares from the Seller shall terminate and cease at such time as the Seller has received a total of $700,000 from the sale of the Shares.

In the event the Seller elects not to “Put” the Shares to us, the Seller shall not sell more than 10,000 Shares during any 90-day period in the open market, provided that Seller complies with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with his sale of the Shares.

The terms and conditions of the transaction were the result of arms-length negotiation between the parties.  A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.  A copy of the press release related to this transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
