ITEM 1. BUSINESS


OVERVIEW

Health Fitness Corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), provides fitness and wellness management services and products to
major corporations, hospitals, communities and universities primarily located in
the United States and Canada. Additionally, the Company provides health related
programming, and on-site physical therapy services. The Company's executive
offices are located at 3500 W. 80th Street, Suite 130, Bloomington, Minnesota
55431 and its telephone number is (952) 831-6830.

Effective on January 1, 2001, the Company sold its International Fitness Club
Network (IFCN) line of business, which organized and maintained a network of
commercial fitness and health clubs and marketed memberships in such clubs to
employees and insurance companies. The IFCN line of business accounted for
approximately $656,000 in revenues and $ 612,000 in direct costs during 2000.
The assets and liabilities of the IFCN line of business remained on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000.

FITNESS AND WELLNESS SERVICES AND PRODUCTS

Fitness Center Management. The Company currently is under contract to manage 140
corporate and 12 hospital, community or university based fitness centers located
nationwide. Major corporations and hospitals invest in fitness centers and in
wellness for several reasons. First, there is a body of research that indicates
that healthier employees are more productive, both in increased output and in
reduced stress and sick leave. Additionally, wellness benefits, and fitness
benefits in particular, are considered high priorities as potential employees
evaluate job prospects with a given employer. Hospitals invest in fitness
centers to create a new revenue source that is not subject to insurance or
government reimbursements and to address community health initiatives. The
Company's sales staff markets to corporations, hospitals, communities and
universities primarily through direct mail, telephone follow-ups and on-site
presentations to secure additional consulting and management contracts for the
Company.

The Company provides a full range of development, management and marketing
services for corporate and hospital-owned fitness centers. The Company generally
manages all aspects of fitness center development, including fitness center
design and equipment selection and acquisition. All start-up costs, including
costs related to leasing and improving the site and acquiring the equipment, are
generally borne by the client. The Company also provides consulting services,
for which it receives a fee, for design services provided to a client prior to
the decision to establish a fitness center. Once a fitness center is
established, the Company generally manages all aspects of fitness center
operation, other than leasing of real estate and equipment, and provides
staffing services and exercise programs and instruction.

On-Site Physical Therapy. The Company provides "on-site" preventive and
rehabilitative physical therapy services at 13 corporate fitness centers in
California, Georgia and Kentucky.

In 1999 the Company 1) sold or closed all units of its physical therapy clinic
business segment; 2) sold its ProSource fitness equipment business segment; 3)
sold its Isernhagen rehabilitative products and services line of business; and
4) sold The Preferred Companies (PTPA) managed care network line of business.
The physical therapy clinics business segment, and the ProSource fitness
equipment business segment were classified as discontinued operations. Revenues
and direct expenses of $1,411,000 and $1,305,000, from the divested lines of
business were included in ongoing operations in the Company's December 31, 1999
financial statements. While certain assets and liabilities related to the
discontinued operations

2
3

remained on the balance sheet at December 31, 2000, no new revenues or expenses
are being generated from any of these sold or closed business segments.

On April 8, 1999, the Company retained The Manchester Companies, Inc., a
Minneapolis-based multi-disciplinary professional services firm ("Manchester)
which provides investment banking, finance, turnaround and management advisory
services to small and middle market companies. Manchester has provided senior
management services, assisted with the sale of various business segments and
lines of business and assisted with the design and execution of the Company's
re-engineering effort. Currently, while the Company no longer retains Manchester
for the full scope of services mentioned previously, the Company has retained
Manchester to assist with certain aspects of the Company's business strategies.

COMPETITION

Within the business-to-business fitness center management industry, there are
relatively few national competitors. However, virtually all markets are home to
regional providers that manage anywhere from one or two sites to several sites
across state lines. With its national presence and over 20 years of history,
management believes that the Company is well positioned to compete in this
industry.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

During 1999, the Company sold most of its proprietary rights related to its
Isernhagen line of business. The Company does not believe they have any
significant remaining proprietary rights.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Although the Company is subject to substantially less governmental regulation
since it has sold its physical therapy clinics, it is possible that government
regulation will have an impact on the Company's operations. Management of the
Company believes that there currently is no significant government regulation
which materially limits the Company's ability to provide management and
consulting services to its corporate and hospital-based clients.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2000, the Company had 473 full-time and 1,004 part-time
employees engaged in the Company's operations. The Company's part-time employees
are primarily engaged in the staffing of the fitness centers that the Company
operates for its clients. The Company currently does not have a collective
bargaining relationship with its employees and management believes its
relationship with employees is good.

INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS

A majority of the Company's management contracts with its fitness center clients
include a provision that obligates the Company to indemnify and hold harmless
its fitness center clients and their employees, officers and directors from any
and all claims, actions and/or suits (including attorneys' fees) arising
directly or indirectly from any act or omission of the Company or its employees,
officers or directors in connection with the operation of the Company's
business. A majority of these management contracts also include a provision that
obligates the clients to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against all
liabilities arising out of the acts or omissions of the clients, their employees
and agents. The Company can make no assurance that any such claims by its
fitness center clients, or their employees, officers or directors, will not be
made in the course of operating the Company's business.

INSURANCE



3
4

The Company maintains general premises liability insurance of $6,000,000 per
occurrence and $6,000,000 in the aggregate per location for each of its fitness
centers and its executive offices. While the Company believes its insurance
policies to be sufficient in amount and coverage for its current operations,
there can be no assurance that coverage will continue to be available in
adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost, and there can be no assurance that the
insurance proceeds, if any, will cover the full extent of loss resulting from
any claims.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company leases approximately 10,000 square feet of commercial office space
at 3500 W. 80th Street, Bloomington, Minnesota 55431, under leases expiring
July, 2001 and July, 2002. The Company's monthly base rental expense for this
office space is approximately $10,581, plus taxes, insurance and other related
operating costs. The Company believes that its facilities are adequate for its
foreseeable needs. The Company's discontinued operations includes a lease that
expires in October, 2002 with a monthly base rent of approximately $4,005.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In April 2000, HealthSouth Corporation filed a lawsuit against the Company and
two former employees in U.S. District Court in Minnesota arising out of
HealthSouth's purchase of several rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics
from the Company in May 1999. HealthSouth claims that the two former employees
improperly diverted business away from the purchased clinics. HealthSouth seeks
damages in excess of $1,000,000 as a refund of a portion of the purchase price
paid by it for the clinics. The Company believes that HealthSouth's claims are
without merit and intends to vigorously defend the claims and to assert any
counterclaims that may be appropriate.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company did not submit any matters to a vote of security holders during the
quarter ended December 31, 2000.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

In April 1999, the Company was de-listed from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (TM).
Since that time, trading in the Company's common stock has been conducted in the
over-the-counter markets (often referred to as "pink sheets") or on the OTC
Bulletin Board.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of low and
high sale prices for the Company's common stock.

At March 21, 2001, the published high and low sale prices for the Company's
common stock were $0.6562 and $0.5469 per share respectively. At March 21, 2001,
there were issued and outstanding 12,165,250 shares of common stock of the
Company held by 413 shareholders of record. Record ownership includes ownership
by nominees who may hold for multiple owners.

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock
and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable
future. The Company presently expects to retain any earnings to finance the
development and expansion of its business. The payment of dividends, if any, is
subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the
Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant
factors. The Company's current credit facility prohibits the payment of
dividends.

Effective December 13, 2000, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock,
valued at $2969, without registration under the Securities Act to an employee
in connection with resolving claims under an Employment Agreement. The Company
claimed an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 by
virtue of Section 4(2) thereof. The certificate representing the shares bears a
restrictive securities legend.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Health Fitness Corporation provides fitness and wellness management services and
products to corporations, hospitals, communities, and universities primarily
located in the United States and Canada. Fitness center based services include
the development, marketing, and management of corporate, hospital, and
community-based fitness centers, health related programming, and on-site
physical therapy. While consumers of the services are typically corporate
employees and hospital customers, revenues are generated almost exclusively
through business to business, contractual relationships. Effective January 1,
2001, the Company sold its IFCN line of business, which maintained and sold
memberships in a network of independently owned and operated commercial fitness
and health clubs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUE

For 2000, total revenues from continuing operations of $26,191,000 remained
constant with revenues of $26,195,000 for 1999. Revenues decreased due to the
sale of the Isernhagen and PTPA product lines in the third quarter of 1999 but
were offset by increases in the corporate, hospital and community fitness center
lines of business.

GROSS PROFIT

For 2000, gross profit increased $342,000 to $6,386,000 or 24.4% from $6,044,000
or 23.1% for 1999. Increases in gross profit in the corporate fitness center,
IFCN and consulting lines of business were partially offset by the decrease in
gross profit due to the sale of the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business in
1999. The increase in gross margin at the corporate fitness center line of
business was due to the elimination of lower margin management contracts. The
increase in gross margin at IFCN and the consulting lines of business was
entirely due to reductions in the cost of revenue in 2000 as compared to 1999.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

Operating expenses decreased $1,278,000 to $4,738,000 for 2000, and were 18.1%
of sales as compared to $6,016,000 or 23.0% of sales in 1999. Operating income
for 2000 increased $1,621,000 to $1,649,000 as compared to $28,000 in 1999.
Salaries and benefits decreased $214,000 to $1,840,000 due to staffing
reductions. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $696,000 to
$2,518,000, or 9.6% of sales as compared to $3,214,000 or 12.3% of sales in
1999. The decrease was primarily due to the achievement of targeted expense
reductions, the reduction of bad debt expenses, the elimination of amortization
relating to the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business which were sold in 1999,
and software replacement expenses recorded in 1999. Re-engineering expenses
decreased $368,000 to $380,000 from $748,000 for the same period in 1999. The
decrease is due to the lack of noncompete expenses that were recorded in 1999
and a decrease in re-engineering related contract services, partially offset by
merger related due diligence expenses associated with the terminated Healthtrax
merger in 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for 2000, which includes amortization of financing costs, was
$682,000 or 2.6% as compared to $1,090,000 or 4.1% in 1999. The decrease is due
to lower average borrowings, lower interest rates and fees, and lower financing
costs to be amortized in 2000 as compared to 1999.


6
7


OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) decreased $266,000 to income of $12,000 from an expense
of $254,000 in 1999, primarily due to a $356,000 loss associated with the
divestiture of the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business in 1999.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes were calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's
effective tax rate. Income tax expense represents minimum state income taxes as
well as federal taxes due because of alternative minimum tax calculations.
Current income tax expense in 2000 has been offset by utilization of net
operating losses. Income tax benefits in 1999 have been offset by a valuation
allowance.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

As a result of the above, the Company's income from continuing operations
increased $2,332,000 to $930,000 in 2000 compared to a loss of $1,402,000 in
1999.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

There were no operating losses associated with discontinued operations recorded
in 2000.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
REVENUE

For 1999, total revenues from continuing operations increased $552,000 or 2.2%
to $26,195,000 as compared to revenues of $25,643,000 for 1998. The increase was
primarily due to growth in fitness center management contracts and IFCN sales.
The increase was partially offset by revenue declines from the sale of the PTPA
and Isernhagen product lines and lower emphasis on consulting sales.

GROSS PROFIT

For 1999, gross profit remained relatively constant at $6,044,000 or 23.1%.
Increases in gross profit in the corporate and hospital fitness centers and IFCN
lines of business were entirely offset by gross profit declines in consulting,
PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business. Improved margins in the corporate and
hospital fitness centers were largely due to the elimination of lower margin
fitness management contracts.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

Operating expenses decreased $352,000 to $6,016,000 for 1999, and are 23.0% of
sales as compared to $6,368,000 or 24.8% of sales for 1998. Operating income for
1999 was $28,000 as compared to a loss of $334,000 in 1998. The decrease in
operating expenses was largely due to successful expense reductions in 1999 and
lower bad debt write-offs, which generated an operating profit. While wage and
salary expenses were roughly constant between 1999 and 1998, severance payments
of approximately $142,000 was incurred for eliminated positions during 1999.
Further, the Company incurred $748,000 in re-engineering costs related to the
Company's turn around process. These costs were primarily consulting and
noncompete expenses. The operating income for 1999 without these re-engineering
costs was $776,000 as compared to a loss of $334,000 in 1998.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for 1999, which includes financing costs, was $1,090,000 as
compared to $667,000 for 1998. The increase was largely due to the allocation of
interest expense to discontinued operations in 1998, based on the ratio of net
operating assets of the discontinued operations to consolidated net assets.
While the interest rate on the Company's notes payable to its lender remained
constant at 16%, total notes payable balances declined to $2,862,000 at December
31, 1999 from $6,940,000 at December 31, 1998.



7
8

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other expenses were $254,000 in 1999 as compared to other income of $110,000 in
1998. The major component of other expense for 1999 included a loss of $356,000
associated with the divestiture of the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's
effective tax rate and represent primarily state income taxes. Income tax
benefits due to losses in 1999 and 1998 have been offset by a valuation
allowance.

LOSS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
As a result of the above, the Company's significant reduction in operating
losses was more than offset by increased interest and divestiture expenses,
resulting in an overall increase in the Company's loss from continuing
operations in 1999 to $1,402,000 as compared to a loss of $941,000 in 1998.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Operating losses from discontinued operations during the phase out period,
including projected shutdown costs and the expected net realizable loss from the
sale of the business segments of $5,274,000, were recorded as discontinued
operations during the year ended December 31, 1998. In 1999 the Company accrued
an additional loss of $1,425,000 due to actual operating losses during the phase
out period exceeding earlier estimates and changes in the estimated sales price
of the business segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital deficit decreased to ($2,392,000) in 2000 from
($3,836,000) in 1999, largely due to improved accounts receivable collections,
as well as the reduction of accounts payable and other obligations.

Until July 2000, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Abelco Finance
L.L.C. and other affiliates of Cerberus Partners, L.P. (the "Lender"). The
Company's ability to draw down on the facility was tied to the borrowing base
formula which was based upon the Company's EBITDA (defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), revenues, or collections,
whichever is less. The credit facility was secured by all of the Company's
assets, including its accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and general
intangibles and was guaranteed in part by the Company's founder and former Chief
Executive Officer. The advances under the credit facility accrued interest at a
rate equal to 7.0% in excess of Chase Manhattan's prime rate, with a minimum
rate of 15.5%. The Company was required to pay monthly interest payments on
outstanding borrowings at the prime rate plus 4.5%, with a minimum rate of
13.0%. The unpaid interest (2.5%) was added to the principal balance of the
facility, and accrued interest until paid. The credit facility was due September
2000. The credit facility was subject to various affirmative and negative
covenants customary in transactions of this type, including a requirement to
maintain certain financial ratios and limitations on the Company's ability to
incur additional indebtedness, to make acquisitions outside of certain
established parameters, or to make dividend distributions.

In July 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Coast Business
Credit for a $5.0 million working capital facility. Interest on the loan is at
the prime rate plus 3.0%, with future reductions based on the achievement of
certain net worth levels after March 31, 2001. Available credit under the credit
facility is based upon certain profitability and cash collection multiples.
Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants that measure
net worth, interest coverage and debt capacity. The initial proceeds of the loan
were used to pay off existing loans with Abelco and with the holders of certain


8
9

subordinated debentures. The facility expires in July 2003. The Company is in
compliance with all of the financial covenants in effect on December 31, 2000.

Sources of capital to meet future obligations are anticipated to provided by
cash generated through operations and the Company's new revolving credit
facility. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant
impact on the results of its operations.

OUTLOOK
The year ended December 31, 2000 was highly productive for the Company in
improving financial condition and restoring profitability. These improvements
were gained through refinancing of the Company's revolving credit facility and
aggressive cost cutting measures, including the downsizing of corporate staff
and general overhead reductions.

Management believes that the Company's sale of the IFCN line of business
effective on January 1, 2001, will enable the Company to focus more effectively
on it's core business and that the foregoing expense reductions have better
positioned the Company to further develop its corporate, hospital, and community
based fitness center management. Management believes that major corporations
will continue to make significant investments into employee fitness and
wellness. As one of the largest providers of corporate fitness services, the
Company is poised to take advantage of this trend. Further, as hospitals and
other health care organizations look for opportunities to diversify their
revenue streams outside of insurance and government reimbursements, management
believes that investment in fitness centers, and therefore the Company's
hospital fitness center management services, will remain an attractive option to
those hospitals. Lastly, the Company intends to explore ways to expand its
wellness service and product offerings to its existing client base, including
information services, personal training, and wellness programming.

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements. Such "forward-looking" information is included
in this Form 10-K, including the MD&A section, as well as in the Company's
Annual Report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in
other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other
written statements made or to be made by the Company).

Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations
and specifically include statements relating to improving margins, focus on core
businesses following the sale of the IFCN line of business, growth of the market
for corporate, hospital, and community based fitness centers, and the intention
to expand the Company's products and services. Such forward-looking information
involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect
anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the
Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, leverage
and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates)
continued expansion of corporate, hospital, and community fitness center
opportunities, and availability of sufficient working capital.

The following risks and uncertainties also should be noted:

RESTRICTIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS IMPOSED BY SENIOR CREDIT
FACILITY:
Certain of the affirmative and negative covenants imposed upon the Company by
its senior secured lending facility restrict the Company's ability to incur
additional senior and subordinated debt. Furthermore, upon certain events of
default, such senior secured lender is entitled to demand immediate repayment of
its outstanding loans. In such circumstances, the Company may not be able to
access other sources of capital, on a timely basis, or on terms and conditions
favorable to the Company, or at all, with sufficient speed or sufficient size to
prevent the Company's senior secured lender from taking material adverse action
against the Company and its collateral.

9
10

POTENTIAL DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK ARISING FROM EXERCISE AND
SALE OF EXISTING CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES:
At December 31, 2000, the Company had outstanding stock options and stock
purchase warrants (not including the shares issuable under any contingent
grants, earn-out agreements or any future acquisition) to purchase an aggregate
2,586,402 shares of common stock. The exercise of such outstanding stock options
and stock purchase warrants and sale of stock acquired thereby may have a
material adverse effect on the price of the Company's common stock. In addition,
the exercise of such outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants and
sale of such Company's common stock could occur at a time when the Company would
otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms and conditions
more favorable to the Company.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing
in derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other
such financial instruments. Transactions with international customers are
entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges.
As a result, the exposure to market risk is not material.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Stockholders'
Equity, and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Health Fitness Corporation
Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Health Fitness
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Health Fitness
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited Schedule II of Health Fitness Corporation and subsidiaries
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. In our
opinion, this schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information required to be set forth therein.

HEALTH FITNESS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998
- ---------------------------------------------
1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business - Health Fitness Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries (the "Company") provides fitness and wellness
management services and products to major corporations,
hospitals, communities and universities primarily located in the
United States and Canada. Fitness and wellness management
services include the development, marketing and management of
corporate, hospital, and community based fitness centers, injury
prevention, work-injury management consulting, and on-site
physical therapy.

Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable - Trade accounts and notes
receivable represent amounts due from companies and individuals
for services and products. The notes receivable are typically due
in 60 monthly installments and have interest rates from 8.76% to
9%. The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course
of business, but generally does not require collateral or any
other security to support amounts due. Management performs
ongoing credit evaluations of customers. The Company maintains
allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have
been within management's expectations. Concentrations of credit
risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the
large number of customers and their geographic dispersion.

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue represents billings in
advance for the management of corporate and hospital-based
fitness centers and amounts received in excess of revenues
recognized to date on contracting third-party payor contracts.
Accounts receivable relating to deferred revenue were $1,074,598
and $1,060,745 at December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue, except from contracting
third-party payor contracts, is recognized at the time the
service is provided. Revenue from contracting third-party payor
contracts is recognized over the contract period.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at
cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using both
straight-line and accelerated methods over the useful lives of
the assets or the terms of capital leases.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price
and related costs over the fair value of the net assets of
businesses acquired and are amortized on a straight-line basis
over 15 or 20 years. The carrying value of goodwill and other
intangible assets is assessed periodically or when factors
indicating impairment are present. Projected undiscounted cash
flows are used in assessing these assets.

Subsequent payments of earn-out provisions associated with
acquisitions are accounted for as adjustments to goodwill and
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the
goodwill.




F-6


18

Intangible Assets -- The Company's intangible assets include
noncompete agreements, deferred financing costs, trade names and
contracts related to businesses acquired. Noncompete agreements
consist of agreements with certain individuals which cover
periods of two to seven years and prohibit the individuals from
directly or indirectly competing with the Company and are
amortized over the term of the noncompete agreement. Deferred
financing costs are amortized on a straight line method over the
term of the credit agreement. Contracts consist of agreements to
provide rehabilitative services on behalf of other health care
providers for terms of two to three years. The values assigned by
the Company to trade names and contracts are based on independent
appraisals and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
years for trademarks and 2 or 3 years for contracts.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share -- Basic income (loss) per share
is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per
share is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, contingently
issuable shares and common share equivalents relating to stock
options, stock warrants, and convertible subordinated debt when
dilutive.

Common stock options and warrants to purchase 2,103,902 shares of
common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.54 were
excluded from the 2000 diluted computation because they are
anti-dilutive.

Common stock options and warrants to purchase 2,800,219 shares of
common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.73 and
assumed conversion of convertible subordinated notes into 383,333
shares of common stock were excluded from the 1999 diluted
computation because they are anti-dilutive.

Contingently issuable shares of common stock with a value of
$500,000, common stock options and warrants to purchase 3,712,541
shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of
$2.84, were excluded from the 1998 diluted computation because
they are anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation -- The Company utilizes the intrinsic
value method of accounting for its stock based employee
compensation plans. Pro-forma information related to the fair
value based method of accounting is contained in note 7.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments -- Due to their short-term
nature, the carrying value of our current financial assets and
liabilities approximates their fair values. The fair value of our
borrowings, if recalculated based on current interest rates,
would not significantly differ from the recorded amounts.

Use of Estimates -- Preparing consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

2. SALE OF ASSETS

On September 23, 1999, the Company sold the assets of Preferred
Therapy Providers of America, a preferred provider network of
physical therapy clinics and Health Fitness Rehab, Inc. a
provider of services designed to manage and prevent work related
injuries. The Company received $1,550,000 and recorded a loss on
sale of $356,195.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 1998, the Company formally adopted a plan to dispose of
its freestanding physical therapy clinics business segment (the
PT clinics). The disposal of the PT clinics was accounted for as
a discontinued operation. In June 1999, the Company completed the
sale of the PT clinics for $3,750,000. The loss on disposition
was $1,017,700.

Information relating to the PT clinics for the years ending
December 31 is as follows:



1999 1998
------ ------


Revenues $ 2,465,700 $ 5,727,600
Interest expense 560,200 1,227,100
Net loss (2,243,500) (3,118,575)


A tax benefit has been recorded and has been offset by a
valuation allowance for each year. Interest expense has been
allocated based on the ratio of net operating assets of the PT
clinics to consolidated net assets.

Net losses of $1,657,212 incurred in 1998 subsequent to the
measurement date, estimated 1999 net losses of $903,523 and
estimated shutdown costs and loss on disposal of $2,090,922 were
included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations for
the year ending December 31, 1998. In the first quarter of 1999
the Company increased the loss $941,000 due to actual losses from
operations and the loss on sale exceeding estimates.

In November 1998, the Company formally adopted a plan to dispose
of its fitness equipment business segment (the equipment
division). The disposal of the equipment division was accounted
for as a discontinued operation. In July 1999, the Company
completed the sale of the equipment division for cash of $80,000
and two notes receivable totaling $95,000. The loss on
disposition was $536,000.

Information relating to the equipment division for the years
ending December 31 is as follows:



1999 1998
------ ------


Revenues $1,769,300 $7,293,100
Interest expense 100,000 198,400
Net income (loss) (896,900) (780,000)


A tax benefit has been recorded and has been offset by a
valuation allowance for each year. Interest expense has been
allocated based on the ratio of net operating assets of the
clinics to consolidated net assets.

Net losses of $347,442 incurred in 1998 subsequent to the
measurement date, estimated 1999 net losses of $342,390 and
estimated shutdown costs and gain on disposal of $67,577 were
included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations for
the year ending December 31, 1998. In the first quarter of 1999
the Company increased the loss $484,000 due to actual losses from
operations and the loss on sale exceeding estimates.

5. FINANCING

Note Payable -- On July 14, 2000, the Company entered into a
credit agreement (the credit agreement) that provides for maximum
borrowings of the lessor of $5.0 million or an amount as defined
in the agreement based upon levels of eligible collections or
EBITDA (Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization. Interest on outstanding borrowings is computed
at the prime rate plus 3.0% with a minimum rate of 9.0%
(effective rate of 12.5% at December 31, 2000). The Company is
required to pay minimum monthly interest equal to the effective

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases -- The Company leases office space and equipment under
operating leases. In addition to base rental payments, these
leases require the Company to pay its proportionate share of real
estate taxes, special assessments, and maintenance costs. These
leases can be renewed for additional one-year periods.

The Company also leases certain equipment under agreements which
substantially cover the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets. These agreements were capitalized at the present value of
the future minimum lease payments.

Costs incurred under operating leases are recorded as rent
expense and aggregated approximately $213,000, $245,000 and
$208,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Minimum rent payments due under operating leases are
approximately as follows:


Years ending December 31:
2001 $150,000
2002 84,000
2003 5,700


Independent Contractor -- An independent contractor, who was an
executive officer of the Company and a member of the Company's
Board of Directors, assumed the functions of its Chief Financial
Officer from July 1997 to April 1999. Expenses relating to these
services provided totaled $98,729 and $328,172 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

the age of 18 and have completed one month of service.
Participants may contribute up to 15% of their earnings, and the
Company may make certain matching contributions. The Company made
matching contributions of approximately $103,000, $105,000 and
$141,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Legal Proceedings -- The Company is involved in various claims
and lawsuits incident to the operation of its business. The
Company believes that the outcome of such claims will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operation, or cash flows.

In April 2000, HealthSouth Corporation filed a lawsuit against
the Company and two former employees in U.S. District Court in
Minnesota arising out of HealthSouth's purchase of several
rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics from the Company in
May 1999. HealthSouth claims that the two former employees
improperly diverted business away from the purchased clinics.
HealthSouth seeks damages in excess of $1,000,000 as a refund of
a portion of the purchase price paid by it for the clinics. The
Company believes that HealthSouth's claims are without merit and
intends to vigorously defend the claims and to assert any
counterclaims that may be appropriate.

number of shares than provided in the warrant without payment of
