DENVER -- VCG Holding Corp. (AMEX: PTT), a growing and leading consolidator and operator of adult nightclubs, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Jaguar's Gold Club in Dallas, Texas. This acquisition was not disclosed or announced prior to today as the Company changed its policy of releasing letters of intent.

The Company has purchased 100% of the stock of Manana Productions, Inc., the owner of the Jaguar's Gold Club in Dallas, Texas, for cash consideration of approximately $6.8 million. VCG will use lines of credit to fund this acquisition. The purchase includes the building, which is subject to a 25 year land lease.

The Jaguar's Gold Club is a Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) establishment, and is not subject to a liquor license or the state liquor tax. The Jaguar's Gold Club has been open for over two years and is on pace to generate annual revenues of approximately $5.0 million and pretax operating profits of around $2.0 million in 2007.

Troy Lowrie, Chairman and CEO of VCG Holding, stated, "We are excited about our 18th acquisition and our second acquisition of a club in Texas. We now own and operate Jaguar Clubs in Ft. Worth and Dallas, Texas. We purchased the club for approximately 3.5 times operating profit, or 3.3 times EBITDA. The acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings and enhances our Texas footprint. In addition, the BYOB concept is a great model that has later hours of operation and strong pretax profit margins. With roughly 3,500 adult entertainment clubs in the U.S. alone, the acquisition pipeline continues to be strong."
