Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Securities

      On September 15, 2004, RCG Companies Incorporated (the "Company")
announced that, effective as of September 13, 2004, the Company entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional and accredited investors
(collectively the "Investors"). Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company is to initially issue the following securities to the
Investors in consideration for the Investors making payment to the Company in
the aggregate amount of $4,300,000: (i) 4,300 shares of Series A 6% Convertible
Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share, which shares are
initially convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed
price of $0.94 per share, subject to adjustment ("Set Price") and that are,
subject to certain conditions, subject to forced conversion by the Company at
any time the common shares of the Company have a volume weighted average price
("VWAP") which exceeds 200% of the Set Price for the preceding 10 trading days,
(ii) Warrants to purchase approximately 1,143,617 shares of common stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $1.20 per share, exercisable commencing 6 months
after the closing date until the date that is 3 years after such date, with
anti-dilution provisions subject to a $1 floor, and that are, subject to certain
conditions, callable by the Company at any time the common shares of the Company
have a VWAP which exceeds 200% of the exercise price for the preceding 20
trading days, and (iii) Additional Investment Rights to purchase approximately
3,430,851 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.03
per share, exercisable commencing 6 months after the closing date until the
earlier of (a) the later of the date that is 6 months after the effective date
of the registration statement covering the shares and the date that is 1 year
after the closing date, and (b) September 13, 2006, with standard anti-dilution,
and that are, subject to certain conditions, callable by the Company at any time
the common shares of the Company have a VWAP greater than or equal to 160% of
the exercise price for the preceding 20 trading days.

      The Securities Purchase Agreement provides the Investors with certain
rights to participate in future financings of the Company, and contains negative
covenants limiting the rights of the Company to engage in certain types of
future financings.

      The Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of
the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate") prohibits the
issuance by the Company, upon conversion of the Series A 6% Convertible
Preferred Stock or payment of dividends in shares of common stock, of shares of
common stock of the Company exceeding 19.9% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of the Company, unless and until the Company has received
shareholder approval. The Certificate prohibits any holder from exercising any
conversion rights that would result in the holder owning in excess of 4.99% of
the common stock of the Company then outstanding.



      The Company has agreed to file a registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
registering for resale 130% of all shares of common stock of the Company
underlying the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the
Additional Investment Rights, and shares issuable as dividends for 3 years.

      The transaction was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on August
25, 2004, and closed on September 14, 2004. The shares of Series A 6%
Convertible Preferred Stock, the Warrants, and the Additional Investment Rights,
the shares of common stock underlying such securities, and shares issuable as
dividends will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
