<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On August 3, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary,
Jaguars Acquisition, Inc. (&ldquo;JAI&rdquo;), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the &ldquo;Purchase Agreement&rdquo;) with Bryan
S. Foster and 13 entities owned by him (the &ldquo;Companies&rdquo;), to acquire nine operating adult cabarets and two other licensed
location under development (collectively, the &ldquo;Foster Clubs&rdquo;). Ten of the clubs are located in Texas, including clubs
in Tye (near Abilene), Lubbock (two clubs), Odessa (two clubs), El Paso, Harlingen, Longview, Edinburg and Beaumont, and one club
is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Purchase Agreement provides for JAI and its subsidiaries to acquire certain of the Companies
and the assets of certain of the Companies, whereby all 11 of the Foster Clubs will be acquired. As consideration, JAI and its
subsidiaries will pay to Foster and the Companies an aggregate consideration of $26,000,000, including $4,000,000 cash at closing
and $22,000,000 pursuant to a secured promissory note (the &ldquo;Club Note&rdquo;). The Club Note will bear interest at the rate
of 9.5% per annum, be payable in 144 equal monthly installments and be secured by the assets purchased from the Companies.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Club Note will also provide that in
the event any regulatory or administrative authority seeks to enforce or attempts to collect any tax or obligation or liability
that may be due pursuant to the Texas Patron Tax (sometimes referred to as the &ldquo;Pole Tax&rdquo;) or related legislation,
then the then outstanding principal amount of the Club Note, as of the date the tax is enforced, will immediately be reduced by
an amount calculated by multiplying 1,200,000 by the dollar amount of the per-person tax implemented (the &ldquo;Reduction Amount&rdquo;).
The Reduction Amount cannot exceed $6,000,000. By way of example, if exactly two years after closing, a $2.00 per person tax is
implemented and enforced, the Reduction Amount would be $2,400,000 and the then principal amount of the Club Note would be reduced
$2,400,000. The Texas Patron Tax is currently enacted to be $5 per person which would equate to a $6,000,000 Reduction Amount if
enforced.</P>

ITEM 1.01
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On August 3, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary,
Jaguars Acquisition, Inc. ("JAI"), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Bryan
S. Foster and 13 entities owned by him (the "Companies"), to acquire nine operating adult cabarets and two other licensed
location under development (collectively, the "Foster Clubs"). Ten of the clubs are located in Texas, including clubs
in Tye (near Abilene), Lubbock (two clubs), Odessa (two clubs), El Paso, Harlingen, Longview, Edinburg and Beaumont, and one club
is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Purchase Agreement provides for JAI and its subsidiaries to acquire certain of the Companies
and the assets of certain of the Companies, whereby all 11 of the Foster Clubs will be acquired. As consideration, JAI and its
subsidiaries will pay to Foster and the Companies an aggregate consideration of $26,000,000, including $4,000,000 cash at closing
and $22,000,000 pursuant to a secured promissory note (the "Club Note"). The Club Note will bear interest at the rate
of 9.5% per annum, be payable in 144 equal monthly installments and be secured by the assets purchased from the Companies.
The Club Note will also provide that in
the event any regulatory or administrative authority seeks to enforce or attempts to collect any tax or obligation or liability
that may be due pursuant to the Texas Patron Tax (sometimes referred to as the "Pole Tax") or related legislation,
then the then outstanding principal amount of the Club Note, as of the date the tax is enforced, will immediately be reduced by
an amount calculated by multiplying 1,200,000 by the dollar amount of the per-person tax implemented (the "Reduction Amount").
The Reduction Amount cannot exceed $6,000,000. By way of example, if exactly two years after closing, a $2.00 per person tax is
implemented and enforced, the Reduction Amount would be $2,400,000 and the then principal amount of the Club Note would be reduced
$2,400,000. The Texas Patron Tax is currently enacted to be $5 per person which would equate to a $6,000,000 Reduction Amount if
enforced.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement,
our wholly owned subsidiary, Jaguars Holdings, Inc. ("JHI"), entered into a Commercial Contract (the "Real Estate
Agreement") with 12 entities owned by Mr. Foster (collectively, the "Real Estate Sellers"). The Real Estate Sellers
own the real estate where the Foster Clubs are located (collectively, the "Real Estate Properties"). The Real Estate
Agreement provides for JHI to acquire the Real Estate Properties from the Real Estate Sellers for aggregate consideration of $10,000,000,
including (i) $350,000 cash at closing of the Real Estate Agreement, (ii) $9,000,000 pursuant to a secured promissory note (the
"Real Estate Note"), and (iii) 12 years from the date of closing, a one time payment of $650,000. The Real Estate Note
will bear interest at the rate of 9.5% per annum, be payable in 144 equal monthly installments and be secured by the Real Estate
Properties. Both the Real Estate Note and the Club Note will have cross-default provisions.
The closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Purchase Agreement are to take place five business days after JAI and/or its subsidiaries have all necessary permits and
authorizations which are needed to conduct an adult entertainment business at the club locations. The closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Real Estate Agreement are to take place contemporaneously or as soon thereafter as possible.
At closing of the above transactions, Mr.
Foster will enter into a five-year non-competition agreement providing for him to not compete with us or our subsidiaries by owning,
participating or operating an establishment featuring adult entertainment within a radius of 50 miles of the location of any of
the adult clubs owned by our subsidiaries, excluding the adult cabaret located at 11327 Reeder Road, Dallas, Texas, 75229.
