About Headliners Entertainment Group, Inc: Headliners Entertainment Group, formerly Rascals International became effective June 1, 2004. Headliners' growth strategy involves a mixture of organic growth in diversified venues, such as stand-alone restaurant/clubs, joint hotel ventures/co-locations, and high traffic, entertainment destination venues, with acquisitions. Currently, the Company plans to build-out three new clubs during 2004 (Palisades, Montclair, and Shreveport) in addition to funding the acquisition of nine night clubs. Management's plan is to use the proceeds from its equity line of credit to reduce accounts payables and to fund its building plans.

Mr. Rodriguez had this to say about the change: "The process was slow, and the doubters were loud, but the result is excellent. We knew from the outset of our negotiations that our two organizations belonged together, and the time was well spent finding just the right formula to maximize profit and potential while minimizing problems and expenses. I believe that our combined revenue for 2005 will easily reach or exceed 30 million dollars, with no reduction in the existing profitability of the clubs we are acquiring. With the addition of club complexes already in construction and with those to be added in the next year, Headliners is heading towards becoming the leader in its field."
