price of $1,000,000  pursuant to the Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

     Mr.  Licklider  was  granted  a stock  option on May 20,  2001 to  purchase
115,000  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer,  all of which will be exercisable
within sixty days.



                                       5



Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     The following information amends and supplements Item 4.

     Pursuant to that certain Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement entered into as
of September 6, 2002, by and among the Issuer,  the Filing Persons and the other
investors named therein (the "Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement"), the
Filing  Persons  purchased  2,000  shares of the Issuer's  Series C  Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred"),  from the
Issuer on September 6, 2002 for an aggregate  purchase  price of  $2,000,000.00.
Each shares of the Series C Preferred is convertible at the option of its holder
at any time into one share of Common Stock at a conversion  price of $2.8871 per
share (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances).

     On February 19, 2004,  the Filing  Persons  agreed to make an investment in
the Issuer in accordance  with the terms set forth in a  non-binding  Term Sheet
(the "New Term Sheet") agreed to with Millennium  Entertainment Partners,  L.P.,
or affiliate(s)  ("Millennium")  and Kayne Anderson  Capital  Advisors,  L.P. or
affiliate(s) ("Kayne").  Millennium and Kayne are referred to herein as the "13D
Parties."  The Filing  Persons and the 13D Parties are referred to herein as the
"New Term Sheet Parties." Millennium and Kayne are significant beneficial owners
of the  Issuer's  Common  Stock and have filed either a Schedule 13D or Schedule
13G pursuant to the Act. The New Term Sheet set forth a non-binding plan for the
New Term Sheet Parties to  consummate a  transaction  whereby the New Term Sheet
Parties  would  purchase an aggregate of 65,000  shares of Series D  Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred") of the Issuer at $100 per share.

     On March 12,  2004,  the Filing  Persons  purchased  an aggregate of 10,000
shares of the Series D Preferred,  convertible  into 500,000  shares of Issuer's
Common Stock,  for an aggregate  purchase  price of $1,000,000 and affiliates of
the 13D  Parties  purchased  an  aggregate  of  55,000  shares  of the  Series D
Preferred for an aggregate  purchase price of $5,500,000,  in each case pursuant
to the terms of a Stock Purchase  Agreement,  dated March 10, 2004, by and among
the Issuer, the Filing Persons and affiliates of the 13D Parties.  Each share of
the Series D Preferred  is  convertible  at the option of its holder at any time
into one share of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share (subject
to adjustment under certain circumstances). The shares of Series D Preferred are
also  subject  to  mandatory   conversion   into  Common  Stock  under   certain
circumstances.

     The Series D Preferred  entitles  each holder  thereof to one vote for each
share of Common  Stock into which such Series D  Preferred  is  convertible  and
dividends at an annual rate of $9.00 per share. Dividends are cumulative, do not
accrue interest and, at the Issuer's option, may be paid in additional shares of
the Series D Preferred.

     With respect to dividend  rights and rights in the event of  liquidation or
dissolution  of the Issuer,  the Series D preferred  ranks  senior to the Common
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock. The Issuer
is prohibited from issuing any capital stock that ranks senior to, or pari passu
with,  the Series D Preferred  without the consent of the holders of eighty-five
percent (85%) of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred.

     Upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer,  holders of the Series D
Preferred  are  entitled  to  receive,  prior to any  distribution  to any other
stockholder,  a  liquidation  amount  equal to  $100.00  per share  (subject  to
adjustment  under certain  circumstances),  together with all accrued and unpaid
dividends with respect to such shares.

                                       6


     In connection with the purchase of the Series D Preferred,  the Issuer, the
Filing  Persons and  affiliates  of the 13D Parties  entered  into that  certain
Investors'  Rights  Agreement,  dated  as of  March  10,  2004  (the  "Series  D
Investors" Rights Agreement"),  which agreement governs, among other things, the
rights of the  purchasers  of the  Series D  Preferred  to cause  the  Issuer to
register  under the  Securities  Act the shares of Common Stock into which their
Series D Preferred is convertible. The Series D Investors' Rights Agreement also
affords the Filing Persons and the 13D Parties  (together with their  respective
affiliates) certain consent rights with respect to the operation of the Issuer's
business.  The Filing Persons and Kayne (together with its affiliates) will each
have the right to  designate  one  director  to serve on the  Issuer's  board of
directors.  Millennium  (together  with its  affiliates)  will have the right to
designate two directors (one of which must be an independent  director) to serve
on the  Issuer's  board of  directors.  The Filing  Persons  and the 13D Parties
(together  with their  respective  affiliates)  have  agreed to take all actions
necessary  to elect such  designee  to the board of  directors  of  Issuer.  The
consent rights and director designation rights described above will terminate if
certain specified Common Stock ownership thresholds are not satisfied.

     As a  result  of  certain  of the  provisions  set  forth  in the  Series D
Investors' Rights  Agreement,  the Filing Persons have formed a "group" with the
13D  Parties  for  purposes  of  Section  13(d)  of the Act and  the  rules  and
regulations promulgated thereunder.  Accordingly, each of the Filing Persons may
be deemed to be the beneficial  owner of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
beneficially  owned by the 13D Parties as reported on their respective  Schedule
13D or Schedule 13G.

     Except  as set forth in this Item 4, the  Filing  Persons  have no plans or
proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions  specified
in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a) As of the date of this  Amendment  No. 4 to  Schedule  13D,  the Filing
Persons  beneficially  own  3,282,593  shares (which number does not include the
shares of Common Stock beneficially  owned by the 13D Parties,  which shares the
Filing Persons  expressly  disclaim  beneficial  ownership of), or 16.64% of the
Common Stock.

     (b)  3,167,593  shares of the Common  Stock of The Sports Club  Company are
held  in the  name  of the  Living  Trust.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Licklider  serve  as
co-trustees of the Living Trust and thus have equal authority to vote or dispose
of shares. The Filing Persons therefore have shared voting and dispositive power
over all shares held by the Living  Trust.  115,000  shares are subject to stock
options granted to Mr. Licklider.

     (c) See Item 3.

     (d) Not applicable.

     (e) Not applicable.

     The following information further amends and supplements Item 5:

     The  stockholdings  of the Filing Persons have been adjusted to reflect the
purchase of the Series D Preferred by the Filing  Persons and the  adjustment in
the present conversion rate of the Series C Preferred from $3.00 to $2.8871.

                                       7



Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
     Securities of the Issuer

     The following information amends and restates Item 6.

     On June 12, 2003,  the Issuer  replaced its credit  facility  with Comerica
Bank - California  with a new $20.0  million  promissory  note payable to Orange
County's Credit Union. The note is guaranteed by Rex A. Licklider and D. Michael
Talla.  Pursuant  to an  Indemnification  and  Guaranty  Agreement  dated  as of
December 1, 2003, by and among the Issuer,  Irvine  Sports Club,  Inc. (a wholly
owned subsidiary of Issuer),  Rex A. Licklider and D. Michael Talla with respect
to  the  note,  the  Issuer  agreed  to  pay  Messrs.  Licklider  and  Talla  in
consideration  of their  provision of such guaranty a fee equal to three percent
(3%) of their pro rata portion of the average  outstanding  principal balance of
the loan for  each  defined  three-month  period.  Such  fees may be paid by the
Issuer in cash or Common Stock. As previously reported,  the Filing Persons have
received  28,509  shares of Common  Stock in  payment  of the  guaranty  fee due
September  31,  2003.  Additional  shares of  Common  Stock may be issued to the
