Cabaret International, Inc</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; TEXT-DECORATION: underline">.</font> (NASDAQ: RICK), the

Board agreed that our stock is currently undervalued and that it makes sense for
us to buy our own equity at these levels,&#8221; said <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Eric Langan</font>, President and CEO
of Rick&#8217;s Cabaret. &#8220;I have always said that when we could buy our stock at a
price that was better than investing in a new acquisition we would do so.
Meanwhile, we are continuing to look at potential acquisitions at the right
price.&#8221;</font></div>

Langan said he saw no reason other than general market conditions for the
current dip in the share price of the company&#8217;s stock, noting that revenues and
other fundamentals remain solid for the company, which operates 19 nightclubs in
seven states.</font></div>
