PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in Delaware in 1994 to consolidate the ownership
of several sports and fitness clubs. We currently own and operate four Clubs
under "The Sports Club/LA" name in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Orange County and
at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Our Clubs offer a wide range of fitness
and recreation options and amenities, and are marketed to affluent, health
conscious individuals who desire a service-oriented, state-of-the-art club. Our
Clubs are widely recognized as being among the finest sports and fitness clubs
in the country.
Our Clubs (hereinafter referred to as "Clubs" or The Sports Club/LA)
are conveniently located and are spacious, modern facilities that typically
include spas, restaurants, fitness centers, swimming pools and basketball
courts. The Sports Club/LA sites are designed as "urban country clubs," and our
three large Clubs range in size from 90,000 to 140,000 square feet. The Sports
Club/LA - Beverly Hills is approximately 40,000 square feet. Initiation fees and
monthly membership dues at The Sports Club/LA are higher than those charged by
most other sports and fitness clubs. Income from ancillary services and
products, including private training, food and beverage and spa services, also
constitutes a significant portion of our revenues. Our subsidiary, The SportsMed
Company ("SportsMed"), operates physical therapy facilities in our Clubs in Los
Angeles and Orange County.
According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association
("IHRSA"), the industry's leading trade organization, it is estimated that 41.3
million Americans were members of more than 23,000 sports and fitness clubs at
December 31, 2004. Revenues generated by the United States sports and fitness
club industry increased at a compound annual rate of 7.7% from $7.8 billion in
1995 to $14.8 billion in 2004. The industry has benefited from the general
public's increasing awareness of the importance of physical exercise. Among
other groups, we target members age 35 and older who, according to IHRSA,
represent 54% of all memberships and are the fastest growing segment of the
industry.
Recent Events
Sale of Assets and Debt Restructuring
On January 13, 2006, we completed the sale of five of our nine sports
and fitness Clubs to an affiliate of Millennium Entertainment Partners
(collectively with its affiliates "Millennium") for $80.0 million pursuant to
the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 28, 2005 as amended by a
First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2006.
Millennium is our largest stockholder and was the landlord at four of these
Clubs. Concurrent with the sale, we completed a $60.0 million financing of The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles property. Proceeds from these transactions were
used to retire our $100.0 million Senior Secured Notes that were due to mature
in March 2006.
The Clubs we sold to Millennium include our interest in Reebok Sports
Club/NY, and The Sports Club/LA in Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco and
the Upper East Side in New York. Our management agreement covering the Club in
Miami was also terminated. We received $50.0 million in cash upon closing the
sale (before transaction related costs) and received two Notes from Millennium.
The first note of $22.2 million was due and collected by us on January 31, 2006.
The second Note of $7.8 million is due in 2013 and is secured by a pledge of the
Series C and Series D Preferred Stock owned by Millennium. Following the sale,
we continue to own and operate four Clubs: The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, The
Sports Club/LA - Beverly Hills, The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The
Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center.
The financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles was provided by Bank
of America, N.A. The mortgage note, which matures in January 2016, is secured by
all the real estate and other assets at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, bears
interest at 6.48% per annum and requires monthly payments of
2
$404,375 which amortizes the loan over a twenty-five year period. Rex Licklider,
our Chief Executive Officer and D. Michael Talla, our chairman of the Board,
executed limited guarantees under which the lender has recourse to Messrs.
Licklider and Talla in certain circumstances. The Company, Millennium and Kayne
Anderson, one of our principal shareholders have agreed to indemnify Messrs.
Licklider and Talla under certain circumstances for losses under their
guarantee.
The Sports Club/LA
The Sports Club/LA ranges in size from 40,000 to 140,000 square feet
and typically includes the following features:
o large, fully equipped gyms with state-of-the-art fitness equipment,
including weight training, cardio- vascular equipment, flexibility
centers and functional performance areas,
o basketball, volleyball, racquetball, squash, tennis and paddle tennis
courts,
o group exercise studios featuring classes throughout the day and
evening, seven days a week, including aerobics, yoga, dance, muscle
conditioning, boxing, martial arts, bootcamps, pilates and bodymind,
o group cycling studios,
o boxing studios,
o swimming pools, sundecks, golf practice nets and running tracks,
o destination city spa offering massage, facials and full body
treatments,
o men's and women's locker rooms featuring wood lockers,
o steam rooms, saunas and Jacuzzis,
o restaurants, sports bars, private dining/conference rooms and media
centers,
o valet parking, pro shops, hair salons and childcare services,
o sports medicine and physical therapy facilities,
o personal trainers to develop and supervise members' exercise routines,
o registered dietitians for nutritional consultations,
o FitLab assessment centers,
o interactive children's classes, as well as supervised age-specific
junior recreation rooms and junior programs such as gymnastics,
martial arts and dance,
o instruction in racquet sports, golf, swimming, boxing and martial
arts,
o full-time activities directors responsible for social and media events
for members, including organizing trips, lectures and charity events,
o sports instructors who present sports tournaments, leagues and
classes, and
o wellness protocols such as exercise regimens designed for specific
groups of members.
3
We currently have four Sports Clubs in operation. The original Sports
Club/LA opened in 1987 in West Los Angeles, California, near the affluent
communities of Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Westwood and
Century City. We opened The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills in October 2003. This
40,000 square foot Club is located in the heart of Beverly Hill's retail and
commercial district. The Sports Club/LA - Orange County opened in 1990 in
Irvine, California near Newport Beach.
We operate one Club in New York City. The Sports Club/LA - New York at
Rockefeller Center was opened in February 2000. This Club was designed to
service the executive business community in midtown Manhattan.
The SportsMed Company, Inc.
Our SportsMed subsidiary operates physical therapy facilities within
The Sports Club/LA in Los Angeles and Orange County. The clinics are staffed by
exercise physiologists, physical therapists and registered dietitians who
provide services to members and others. We believe that SportsMed provides
valuable services, which are complementary to the other services provided by the
Clubs.
Development of New Clubs
Club Developments. In October 2003, we opened The Sports Club/LA -
Beverly Hills. This 40,000 square foot Club is located in the heart of the
Beverly Hills retail and commercial district. This Club may serve as the
prototype for smaller size Clubs to be built in locations near existing Sports
Club/LA sites.
Performance of Newly Developed Clubs. Based on our experience, a newly
developed Club tends to achieve significant increases in revenues until a mature
membership level is reached. In the past, recently opened Clubs that have not
yet achieved mature membership levels have operated at a negative cash flow or
only a slight positive cash flow during the first two years of operation as a
result of fixed expenses that, together with variable operating expenses,
approximate or exceed membership fees and other revenues. The Sports Club/LA -
Beverly Hills has been open since October 2003 and is approaching its optimum
membership level. The Club started generating positive cash flows after its
first year of operation and has steadily increased its cash flow as the
membership levels have increased.
Future New Club Developments
Our Clubs are spacious modern facilities that include a wide range of
amenities. Accordingly, we spend significant amounts to construct a new
facility. Our current debt levels make it difficult for us to secure the
financing to develop additional new sites. Therefore we would expect any new
Clubs to be structured as joint ventures, partnership agreements or management
arrangements. We are currently pursuing several potential new Club developments
that would structured in that manner. This structure allows us to expand our
brand and receive an immediate earnings stream and cash flow, with the potential
for additional profits, without making the significant capital investment
required to develop a club without a partner.
Sales and Marketing
Strategy. The Sports Club/LA is marketed as an "urban country club"
offering personalized attention and multiple amenities and services. We believe
that the facilities and services provided and the image of The Sports Club/LA as
the leader in the sports and fitness industry justifies charging a premium. Our
members include professionals, sports and entertainment personalities and
business people. The Sports Club/LA emphasizes personalized service and
instruction and the creation of an "urban country club" atmosphere in which
members can relax and socialize. Our marketing efforts at The Sports Club/LA
emphasize retaining existing members, replacing members who leave with new
members and increasing ancillary revenues from services such as private training
and spa services.
4
Referrals, Endorsements and Advertising. Word-of-mouth referrals and
endorsements by existing members are The Sports Club/LA's most important source
of new members. In addition, The Sports Club/LA utilizes targeted marketing
programs, which include advertisements, promotions, public relations and
community events. The principal marketing media for the Clubs are direct mail
and print advertisements. Special events and special membership programs
supplement the print advertisements. The Sports Club/LA hosts corporate parties
and charity benefits and often donates free or discounted memberships to
charitable organizations. We also conduct periodic membership drives whereby
referring members are entitled to receive special gifts and other incentives. We
believe that we will be able to continue to utilize these marketing strategies.
Targeted Members. The largest segment of the membership base for The
Sports Club/LA consists of health-conscious individuals. We target four other
groups in order to expand membership: corporate members, medical referrals,
families, and seniors. Each of these groups requires specialized
exercise/fitness programs and we have developed specific programs to attract
members of these groups.
Corporate Programs. We believe the corporate market is a significant
source of new members, due to the proximity of The Sports Club/LA to business
centers. Our members use the Clubs to conduct business and to develop and
maintain business contacts. We employ several Corporate Membership Directors
whose principal responsibilities are to solicit corporate memberships from
businesses operating in the vicinity of the Clubs. The Sports Club/LA offers
corporate group-discounted initiation fees depending upon the number of new
members involved. We believe that corporations are favorably disposed to The
Sports Club/LA because of the positive impact regular exercise and overall
fitness can have on employee absenteeism, morale and productivity.
Medical Referrals. We target members from the medical referral market
through our SportsMed subsidiary by offering specific rehabilitation and
exercise protocols to complement other forms of physical therapy recommended by
a physician or medical group. We also offer a "next-step" program for SportsMed
patients who complete their physical therapy programs and are looking for an
option to complete their rehabilitation by becoming members of The Sports
Club/LA.
Family Programs. We believe that the family market has considerable
potential, as younger members grow older, marry and have children and seek
recreational activities in which the entire family can participate. To attract
the family market, we have implemented Fun-N-Fit programs that offer programs to
children between the ages of 6 months and 15 years and involve youth sports
camps and clinics, fitness programs, art classes and birthday parties. The
Sports Club/LA's weight-training, basketball and swimming pool facilities are
made available to children and their parents during Family Day, and
specially-designed movement classes utilizing a variety of fitness equipment are
offered to younger children. The Sports Club/LA provides individualized sports
instruction and offers multiple fitness activities such as gymnastics, martial
arts and dance that are age appropriate.
Senior Programs. We anticipate that as the current core membership
group ages, we will meet the changing fitness needs of seniors and attract
additional members from the senior population. We maintain training and exercise
protocol manuals for the senior market (that we generally define as members who
are over 60 years old) that include a description of exercise and fitness
programs specifically designed for seniors. These manuals also contain
discussions of the biological, psychological and medical aspects of aging and
the benefits of regular exercise. We believe this market will expand as the
"baby boomers" mature.
Employee Training
We believe that a key component of our operating strategy is a
well-trained and knowledgeable staff. We have comprehensive training programs to
enhance the effectiveness of our personnel. All newly hired employees are
required to attend an orientation seminar that is led by members of our
management staff and a personnel instructor. Topics include our history and
philosophy, The Sports Club/LA policies and procedures, member service,
interaction skills and product knowledge. These orientation seminars are held
weekly.
5
To aid in the development and continuing education of our management
staff, we offer a workshop entitled "Introduction to Management" for newly hired
management personnel and other employees demonstrating management skills. The
workshop is intended to educate managers in the areas of instilling our Company
philosophy, policies and procedures, safety, workers' compensation, managing
people, communication, group problem solving, training, coaching, motivation,
feedback, recognition, counseling, evaluations, as well as time and stress
management. Topics are added periodically to reflect new management techniques
or operating issues. These seminars, generally consisting of three eight-hour
sessions, are held six times a year or as needed for new employees.
Additionally, our management personnel are required to participate in our
Manager on Duty Program and other management and sales seminars to maintain and
develop their skills.
We provide additional seminars specifically designed for targeted
employee groups. Seminars providing specialized instruction for program
directors, private trainers, group exercise instructors and sales/marketing
personnel are offered at various times during the year, for which attendance on
the part of newly hired personnel is mandatory. We place particular emphasis on
our sales/marketing training seminars that are given once every two months by a
personnel instructor. In these seminars, all new membership directors complete
20 hours of participation and all other membership directors are expected to
complete four hours of participation every two months. Our fitness instructors
are trained to assist in the sales function and to implement fitness testing and
individually tailored exercise programs. Most instructors are college-educated
and all trainers are required to be certified by the National Academy of Sports
Medicine. Our group exercise instructors hold nationally recognized
certifications and must have at least one year of teaching experience before
they are permitted to teach at The Sports Club/LA. They are also required to
participate in ongoing training and periodic re-evaluation.
In addition, all line staff can voluntarily participate in quarterly
workshops that are offered through our human resources department. Workshop
topics include conflict resolution, communication and member service; topics
vary depending on the Club's current training needs.
Membership Programs
Membership at The Sports Club/LA requires an initiation fee plus
monthly membership dues. Initiation fees are required to be paid upfront or
during the member's first year. Members are currently required to pay their dues
on a monthly basis by electronic funds transfer, by which each member is
automatically debited each month for dues either through a checking account or
credit card.
The Sports Club/LA offers three types of memberships: executive, health
and racquet sports. The Sports Club/LA's initiation fees and monthly membership
dues vary depending on the location of the Club and the type of membership. The
Sports Clubs' market rate for initiation fees range from $500 to $2,500 and
monthly membership dues range from $125 to $300. Corporate, bicoastal and
spousal memberships are also available. We offer the following membership
options:
Executive Membership. Executive membership offers the greatest number
of amenities and services, including unlimited use of all facilities, racquet
sports privileges, personal locker assignments within an executive locker room,
laundry service, free valet parking and charge privileges for dining and other
Club services. Executive membership entitles a member to use all The Sports
Club/LA locations.
Health Membership. Health membership is the basic membership offering
unlimited use of the facility excluding those privileges associated with a
racquet membership; courts are available to holders of health memberships for an
additional fee. We also offer a bi-coastal membership that entitles a member to
use all The Sports Club/LA locations throughout the country and an Access West
membership that allows a member the ability to use all of our Clubs located on
the west coast.
Racquet Sports Membership. Racquet sports memberships are currently
offered at The Sports Club/LA - Orange County. In addition to use of the Club's
facilities, this membership includes unlimited use of racquetball, squash and
paddle tennis.
6
Competition
Although the sports and fitness industry is still fragmented, the
industry has experienced significant consolidation in recent years and certain
of our competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial and
operating resources than we do. In addition, a number of individual and regional
operators compete with us in our existing markets. Many of these sports and
fitness clubs attract the same types of members we target. We also compete with
recreational facilities established by governments and businesses, the YMCA and
YWCA, country clubs and weight-reducing salons, as well as products and services
that can be used in the home. As the general public becomes increasingly aware
of the benefits of regular exercise, we expect that additional sports and
fitness businesses will emerge. We believe that there will continue to exist a
market for The Sports Club/LA and that our operating experience, our highly
visible image, the professionalism of our staff and our state-of-the-art
equipment and exercise facilities afford us an advantage over our competitors.
However, we may be unable to maintain our membership fees or membership levels
in areas where another sports and fitness club offers competitive facilities and
services at a lower cost.
Trademarks and Trade Names
We have registered our "flying lady" logo as a stand-alone design and
in combination with The Sports Club/LA name under federal trademark laws.
Internationally, we have registered The Sports Club/LA name and logo in Japan
and throughout Europe under a joint "European Community" trademark.
We have also obtained federal protection for our food and nutritional
products that are marketed under the trade names of Private Trainer System and
PTS.
Additionally, we have received trademark approval for several of our
fitness programs, including BodyArt, REV and others. We have obtained full
protection under Federal trademark laws for our SportsMed subsidiary name,
Splash, the name of our spas, and For Kids Only, our childcare and children's
fitness program, as each such name is used in conjunction with its stylized
design. We believe our trademarks and other proprietary rights are significant
elements in our marketing and branding strategies and we aggressively protect
all such rights.
Government Regulation
Our operations and business practices are subject to regulation at the
federal, state and, in some cases, local levels. State and local consumer
protection laws and regulations govern our advertising, sales and other trade
practices.
Statutes and regulations affecting the fitness industry have been
enacted or proposed in both California and New York. Typically, these statutes
and regulations prescribe certain forms and provisions of membership contracts,
limit the amount of prepaid revenues we can collect, afford members the right to
cancel the contract within a specified time period after signing, require an
escrow of funds received from pre-opening sales or the posting of a bond or
proof of financial responsibility and may impose numerous limitations on the
terms of membership contracts. In addition, we are subject to numerous other
types of federal and state regulations governing the sale of memberships. These
laws and regulations are subject to varying interpretations by a number of state
and federal enforcement agencies and courts. We maintain internal review
procedures in order to comply with these requirements and believe that our
activities are in substantial compliance with all applicable statutes, rules and
decisions.
Under so-called state "cooling-off" statutes, a member has the right to
cancel his or her membership for a period of three to ten days (depending on the
applicable state law) and, in such event, is entitled to a refund of any down
payment. In addition, our membership contracts provide that a member may cancel
his or her membership at any time upon death, disability or relocation beyond a
certain distance from our nearest Club. The specific procedures for cancellation
in these circumstances vary due to differing state laws. In each instance, the
canceling member is entitled to a refund of prepaid amounts only.
7
Furthermore, where permitted by law, a cancellation fee is due to us upon
cancellation and we may offset such amount against any refunds owed.
Employees
At December 31, 2005, prior to the Millennium transaction, we had 2,619
employees, most of whom were employed on a part-time basis. At March 31, 2006,
we had 1,148 employees, most of whom are employed on a part-time basis in Club
operating activities such as group exercise, private training and food and
beverage services. At March 31, 2006, we employed 397 full-time employees, 327
of whom were involved in The Sports Club/LA operations such as sales,
management, private training, food and beverage or support staff, 25 of whom
work for our SportsMed subsidiary and 45 of whom were in general and
administrative functions. We are not a party to any collective bargaining
agreement with our employees. Although we experience high turnover of
non-management personnel, we have never experienced any labor shortages nor had
any difficulty in obtaining adequate replacements for departing employees. We
consider our relations with our employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our future success is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain members.
Our profitability is dependent on our ability to attract and maintain
membership levels at our Clubs, and there can be no assurance that we will be
successful in these efforts, or that the membership levels at one or more of our
Clubs will not decline. There are numerous factors that could lead to a decline
in membership levels or that could prevent us from increasing our membership at
newer Clubs, including the public image of the Clubs, the ability of the Clubs
to deliver quality service at a competitive cost, the presence of direct and
indirect competition in the areas in which the Clubs are located, the public's
interest in Clubs and general economic conditions. In addition, from time to
time we may close a Club and attempt to move members of such Club to a different
Club or may have to temporarily relocate members if a Club is closed for
remodeling or due to fire, earthquake or other casualty. In such cases, our
inability to successfully transfer and retain members will lead to an overall
membership decline. Additionally, conditions in the markets in which we operate
may limit our ability to maintain or increase membership pricing without a
material loss in membership. As a result of these factors, there can be no
assurance that the Clubs' membership levels will be adequate to maintain or
permit the expansion of their operations.
The sports and fitness industry is highly competitive and some of our
competitors may have advantages over us.
The sports and fitness industry is highly competitive. Despite recent
consolidation activities, the industry remains highly fragmented. Some of our
competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial and operating
resources than we do. In addition, a number of individual and regional operators
compete with us throughout our existing markets. These competitors compete with
us both for members and for employees. We also compete with recreational
facilities established by governments and businesses, the YMCA and YWCA, country
clubs and weight-reducing salons, as well as products and services that can be
used in the home. Other entertainment and retail businesses also compete with us
for the discretionary income of our target market. We believe that additional
sports and fitness competitors will emerge in the future some of which may be
larger and have greater financial and operating resources than us. There can be
no assurance that such competition will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
8
We must hire and retain qualified personnel.
We are dependent upon the available labor pool of semi and unskilled
employees. We are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs
such matters as a minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions. A
shortage in the labor pool or other general inflationary pressures or changes in
applicable laws and regulations could require us to enhance our wage and
benefits packages. There can be no assurance that labor costs will not increase.
Any increase in such costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
If our key management leaves the Company, it could have an adverse effect on us.
We are dependent upon the efforts and skills of our executive officers,
who have substantial experience in the sports and fitness club industry. The
loss of one or more of such officers could have a material adverse impact on our
operations. In addition, the development and expansion of the Company's business
will require additional experienced management and operations personnel. No
assurance can be given that we will be able to hire or retain such employees.
We have significant debt levels that would adversely affect our financial
health.
After the sale of five of our sports and fitness Clubs in January 2006,
we continue to have approximately $80.0 million of long-term debt that is
secured by our real estate in Los Angeles and Orange County, California. Our
debt levels could contribute to any of the following:
o A substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will be needed
to pay our prinicipal and interest obligations, leaving less cash for
capital expansion or to return to shareholders.
o A decrease in our cash flows from operations could make it more
difficult for us to meet our debt service requirements or force us to
sell assets or raise additional equity.
o Our debt levels may make it more difficult to secure additional
long-term debt if we elected to finance any future expansions with
debt.
o Our loan agreements contain provisions that we must comply with or we
could be declared in default of the agreements.
o We may be more highly leveraged than some of our competitors which
could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
o Our two loans have maturity dates in 2008 and 2016 at which time we
will be required to refinance a significant portion of the current
debt amount. If we are unable to do so, it could have a material
adverse effect on our financial position.
If we develop new Clubs their success is dependent on our ability to locate
suitable sites, meet construction schedules and budgets and negotiate
favorable leases or management agreements.
We are currently pursuing several potential new Club sites. Due to our
current debt levels and the significant amount of capital required to construct
a new facility, we expect any new Clubs would be structured as joint ventures,
partnership agreements or management agreements. Our ability to successfully
develop new Clubs is dependent upon the following:
o Our ability to find development partners,
o Our ability to locate suitable sites for development,
o Our ability to finance any capital we would be required to invest,
9
o Our ability to attract members to a newly developed Club, which will
depend upon how receptive potential members are to our brand, policies
and pricing,
o Our ability to negotiate satisafactory leases and other contracts, and
o Our ability to meet construction schedules and budgets.
Expanding via partnership, joint ventures or management agreements present
certain inherent risks.
We have expressed our interest in pursuing partnership, joint ventures
and management agreements to expand in the future. Partnership, joint ventures
and management agreements may under certain circumstances, present certain risks
to us including the possibility that our partners or co-venturers might become
bankrupt and that such partners or co-venturers might have economic or other
business interests or objectives that are inconsistent with our interests or
objectives. Such partners or co-venturers may also be in a position to take
actions contrary to our interests and objectives and cause delays or impasses
which may prevent us from implementing business decisions with respect to the
partnerships and joint ventures. These risks are heightened in Clubs where
partners or owners may, under certain circumstances, have the right to assert
control over the day-to-day operations of the Clubs. There can be no assurance
that the foregoing factors will not have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition.
Our Asset Purchase Agreement with Millennium prevents us from operating in
certain markets.
Until January 2011, we agreed not to own, manage or operate any sports
and fitness facilities other than The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller
Center in any of Millennium's territories. Those territories include all of the
United States located East of the Mississippi River and several counties located
in the San Francisco area. Therefore, without a waiver of that condition by
Millennium we will be unable to consider any expansion opportunities in these
geographical areas.
We are subject to various regulatory requirements that we can not control.
Our operations and business practices are subject to regulation at
federal, state and, in some cases, local levels. General rules and regulations
of the Federal Trade Commission, and of state and local consumer protection
agencies, and state statutes apply to our advertising, sales and other trade
practices, including the sale of memberships and the financing and collection of
membership fees. Although we are not aware of any proposed material changes in
any such statutes, rules or regulations, any changes could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our voting control is concentrated in a small shareholder base.
Our principal shareholders, officers, directors and their affiliates
beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 73.1% of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock and 81.4% of the voting stock after consideration of
the voting rights of our Preferred Stock. As a result, such persons, acting
together, have control over all matters requiring shareholder approval.
We have engaged in numerous related party transactions and such transactions
present possible conflicts of interest.
Over the last few years the Company has entered into several related
party transactions. (These transactions are disclosed in Item 13 of this Form
10-K). All such transactions were approved by our independent Board of Directors
who believed they were in our best interest. Transactions of this nature present
the possibility of a conflict of interest whereby the other party may advance
its economic or business interests or objectives which may conflict with or be
contrary to our best interest. Any such conflit could have a material adverse
effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
10
Our Common Stock is very thinly traded.
A relatively small amount of our Common Stock is not owned by our four
major stockholders. As a result, there is very limited daily trading in our
Common Stock. This may make it difficult for a current stockholder to dispose of
the stock they currently own or for a new stockholder to acquire shares of
Common Stock. Also, the market price of our Common Stock could be subject to
significant fluctuations that are unrelated to our operating performance or
financial condition.
Our Preferred Stockholders have rights that are senior to our Common
Stockholders.
We currently have outstanding $24.0 million of Preferred Stock, some of
which is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder.
At December 31, 2005, dividends of $6.4 million have accrued on such stock and
are payable to the stockholders. The Preferred Stockholders have rights that are
senior to our Common Stockholders and are entitled to convert their Preferred
Shares into Common Stock or redeem their Preferred Stock and receive all
accumulated dividends prior to any distribution to our Common Stockholders.
Our Clubs are concentrated in two geographic areas and therefore are subject
to factors that impact the local economics, including natural or man made
disasters.
We currently operate three Clubs in Southern California and one in New
York City and thus our operating results are susceptible to events in those
areas, including disasters such as earthquakes or acts of terrorism. All of the
Clubs maintain comprehensive casualty, liability and business interruption
insurance and all Clubs located in California maintain earthquake insurance. We
believe our insurance coverage is in accordance with industry standards. There
are, however, certain types of losses which may be either uninsurable or not
economically insurable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any
insurance proceeds will adequately compensate us for all economic consequences
of any loss. Should an uninsured loss occur, we could lose both our invested
capital in a particular Club or Clubs and the anticipated profits from such Club
or Clubs. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
We could be subject to claims related to health or safety risks at our Clubs.
Use of our Clubs poses some potential health risks to members or guests
through exertion and use of our services and facilities including exercise
equipment. There can be no assurance that a claim against us for death or an
injury suffered by members or their guests while exercising at a Club will not
be asserted or that we would be able to successfully defend any claim that might
be asserted. We currently maintain general liability coverage; however, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain such liability insurance on
acceptable terms in the future or that such insurance will provide adequate
coverage against potential claims.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We own the real estate at The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles (subject to a minority interest held by our
Chairman D. Michael Talla). All other premises on which the Clubs are located
are leased. Our owned real property is pledged to secure a $60 million mortgage
note due in 2016 and our $19.3 million mortgage note due in 2008.
The following table provides certain information concerning our Clubs:

(2) D. Michael Talla, our Chairman, has the right to 49.9% of the first
$300,000 of annual operating income from the partnership, which owns The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles.
We remain obligated under lease agreements for four of our former
Spectrum Club locations. We have subleased each of these properties to the buyer
of these Clubs under sublease agreements that provide for all operating costs of
these facilities to be assumed by the new owners.
All of the Clubs maintain comprehensive casualty, liability, terrorism
and business interruption insurance. Clubs located in California maintain a
blanket $35.0 million earthquake insurance policy. We believe that our insurance
coverage is in accordance with or above industry standards. There are, however,
certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically
insurable, and insurance proceeds may not adequately compensate us for all
economic consequences of any loss. Should a loss occur, we could lose both our
invested capital and our anticipated profits from the affected Clubs. Any such
event could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to our
business, including claims arising from accidents. However, in the opinion of
management, we are adequately insured against such claims and lawsuits involving
personal injuries, and any ultimate liability arising out of any such
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
cash flow or results of operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED MATTERS
Our Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board
maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
under the symbol "SCYL." Until October 27, 2005, our Common Stock was traded on
the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") under the symbol "SCY". Trading in our
Common Stock is sporadic and there is no established public trading market for
the common stock. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sale
prices for the Common Stock for the periods indicated, as reported by the AMEX
or NASD.

As of April 30, 2006, we had 65 stockholders of record many of whom are
banks and brokers beneficially holding shares for other individuals and
entities. The closing price of our Common Stock as reported by NASD on March 31,
2006 was $1.09.
On September 13, 2004, AMEX notified us that we had not met certain
financial requirements of the AMEX continued listing standards as set forth in
Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide. We
were afforded an opportunity to respond and on October 21, 2004, submitted a
plan to comply with the AMEX listing standards. On November 29, 2004, AMEX
approved our plan and granted us an extension of time to regain compliance with
the continued listing standards. On April 20, 2005, AMEX notified us that we had
not met certain of the AMEX continued listing standards, specifically sections
134 and 1101, due to our failure to timely file our annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Our failure to timely file our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 also
triggered an additional deficiency under Sections 1003(d), 134 and 1101.
On June 13, 2005, due to our stockholders' deficit, operating losses
and continued inability to file our financial reports, AMEX notified us of its
determination to prohibit the continued listing of our Common Stock on AMEX and
to initiate delisting proceedings. We requested a hearing before the Listing
Qualifications Panel of the AMEX Committee on Securities (the "Panel") to appeal
the AMEX determination and on August 8, 2005, we appeared before the Panel to
present our case. Based on the written and oral presentations made at the
hearing, the Panel deferred its decision on the delisting of our Common Stock to
September 30, 2005.
We were able to file our financial statements by the September 30, 2005
deadline, however the AMEX staff submitted materials to the Panel concluding
that upon review of our financial statements contained in our filings made on
September 30, 2005, we remained out of compliance with the financial
requirements of the continued listing standards and had not demonstrated the
ability to become compliant with the continued listing standards. Based on the
foregoing, the AMEX staff recommended that the Panel move immediately to delete
our Common Stock from the AMEX. By letter dated October 19, 2005, the Panel
13
unanimously affirmed the AMEX staff's determination to delist our Common Stock.
As a result, our Common Stock was deleted from the AMEX on October 27, 2005 and
we began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by NASD on the following
day.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock and do
not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to redeem our
Series E Preferred Stock after the May 31, 2006 redemption date and pay any
accrued dividends at that point. At that time, we may also pay dividends on our
Series D, C and B Preferred Stock issues.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our historical results of operations and
our liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our
estimates and judgments that are based on historical experience and other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are currently the operator of four sports and fitness Clubs located
in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan markets. Our Clubs are spacious,
modern facilities that typically include spas, restaurants, fitness centers,
swimming pools and basketball courts. Our Clubs, which are named The Sports
Club/LA, are recognized as among the finest sports and fitness facilities in the
United States.
Three of our four Clubs range in size from 90,000 to 140,000 square
feet. Due to the size of these facilities and the additional amenities included
in our Clubs, we spend significant amounts to construct a new facility. We
compare the results of our Clubs based upon how long the Clubs have been open at
the most recent measurement period. We categorize Clubs as either mature or
recently opened. Mature Clubs are those Clubs at which we believe the membership
levels have reached a stable level and based upon the amount of new membership
sales and attrition, or the size of the Club, we do not believe a significant
additional growth in the membership level will occur. Clubs are considered to be
recently opened while the membership level is increasing. Three of the Clubs
that we own are considered to be mature. The Sports Club/LA - Beverly Hills was
opened in October 2003 and is now nearing its optimum membership level. Newly
developed Clubs tend to achieve significant increases in revenues until a mature
membership level is reached. Recently opened Clubs that have not yet achieved
mature membership levels have operated at a loss or only a slight profit as a
result of fixed expenses that, together with variable operating expenses,
approximate or exceed membership fees and other revenues.
In 1999, we decided to expand The Sports Club/LA brand on a national
scale. We issued $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes that were scheduled to
mature in March 2006 and used the proceeds to construct six new Clubs between
2000 and 2004. We invested significant amounts of cash in the construction and
operation of these new Clubs. Our operating performance and our liquidity were
negatively impacted due to the initial construction cost and start up costs and
the delay or failure of the Clubs to generate positive cash flows.
During 2005, the operations of these new Clubs increased to the level
where our operating cash flows were sufficient to cover our debt service and
capital expenditure obligations. However, we were faced with the maturity of the
$100.0 million of debt in March 2006. We therefore decided to sell some of our
Clubs and seek new financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles property. On
January 13, 2006, we completed the sale of five of our nine sports and fitness
Clubs for $80.0 million. Concurrent with the sale, we completed a $60.0 million
financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles. Proceeds from these transactions
were used to retire the $100.0 million Senior Secured Notes. Following the sale,
we continue to own and operate four Clubs: The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, The
Sports Club/LA - Beverly Hills, The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The
Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center. The operating results from the
five Clubs we sold and the fees and costs associated with the Miami management
agreement that has been terminated have been classified as Discontinued
Operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and in the
other parts of this Form 10-K.
We measure performance using key operating statistics such as
initiation fees, monthly dues and ancillary revenues per member. We closely
focus on new membership sales and the level of membership attrition at each
Club. We also closely evaluate our expenses with an emphasis on controlling
payroll costs.
18
We use Club operating income, before depreciation expenses and rent expense as a
means to evaluate the overall performance of an individual Club.
We have two primary sources of revenues. First, our largest source of
revenue is from membership dues and initiation fees. We recognize revenue from
dues in the month it is earned. Initiation fees are deferred and recognized as
revenue on a straight-line basis over the membership lives of each Club based on
each individual Club's respective average membership life. Secondly, we generate
ancillary revenue from our membership within each Club. The largest of these
revenues comes from individual private training. We also generate revenues from
our spas, restaurants, childcare, sports programs and guest fees. Our total
ancillary revenues for our continuing operations, represent 35.1% of total Club
revenue and we believe that percentage is among the highest in the industry. We
believe that membership levels are the primary indicator of a Club's ability to
generate revenue. Therefore, we are consistently generating programs to market
the Clubs to potential new members as well as striving to reduce our membership
attrition rates. We believe our current attrition rate at the Clubs we still own
of 26.8% is well below the norm in the industry.
Our direct expenses include costs to operate our Clubs. These consist
primarily of payroll and employee benefits, rent and other occupancy related
costs, supplies, repairs, costs of products sold and various other operating
costs. A significant amount of these costs are fixed in nature.
General and administrative expenses include costs related to our
centralized support functions such as accounting, information technology,
development and our executive management. Costs associated with being a publicly
owned company are also included in this category. Selling expenses include our
advertising, marketing department and promotional costs associated with the
generation of new memberships.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. We base these estimates and assumptions upon
historical experience and existing known circumstances. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Specifically, we must make estimates in the
following areas:
Revenue Recognition. We receive initiation fees and monthly membership
dues from our members. Substantially all of our members join on a month-to-month
basis and can therefore cancel their membership at any time. The transaction in
which we receive initiation fees may include free private training sessions.
Under Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangement with Multiple
Elements, we determined that the initiation fees and private training sessions
did not represent separate units of accounting. Accordingly, initiation fees and
related direct expenses, primarily sales commissions, are deferred and
recognized, on a straight line basis, over the average membership life.
Effective in the second quarter of 2005, we started amortizing initiation fees
over the membership lives of each Club based on each individual Club's
respective average membership life. Dues that are received in advance are
recognized on a pro-rata basis over the periods in which services are to be
provided. In addition, payments of last months' dues are deferred. Revenues for
services including private training, spa treatments and physical therapy
sessions are recorded when such services are performed. Amounts received in
advance are recorded as deferred revenues. Revenues from our SportsMed
subsidiary are recognized based upon the estimated amount to be collected.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. We provide a reserve against our
receivables for estimated losses that may result from our members' inability to
pay. We determine the amount of the reserve by analyzing known uncollectible
accounts, economic conditions and historical losses and our members'
creditworthiness. The likelihood of a material loss from this area is minimal
due to our limited exposure to credit risk.
19
Lease Accounting. We record rent expense on facilities under operating
leases. The aggregate rental obligation is expensed on a straight line basis
over the lease term, commencing with the date when we take possession of the
property. If the lease imposes a significant economic penalty not to renew an
option period, we use the initial period plus the option period as the lease
term. Rent incurred before the facility is ready for use is capitalized as
leasehold improvements. Effective December 15, 2005, the Company adopted FASB
Staff Position 13-1 Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred During a Construction
Period, which requires rental costs incurred during construction be expensed.
Impairment of long-lived assets. The carrying value of our long-lived
assets is reviewed annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. We consider a history
of consistent and significant operating losses to be our primary indicator of
potential impairment. Assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the
lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows, which is generally at
an individual Club. Through 2005, we evaluated our three New York City Clubs as
a group since they were located in the same geographical area, were operated and
evaluated as a group and memberships allowed the members to use any of the New
York Clubs. Operating the Clubs as a group allowed us to compete more
effectively with the local competition which also have multiple locations. Due
to the sale of two New York Clubs, we now evaluate the remaining long-lived
asset in New York on a stand alone basis. The determination of whether an
impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash
flows directly related to that Club or group of Clubs compared to the carrying
value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of impairment
recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and
recording a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value. There was
no impairment of long-lived assets at December 31, 2003 or 2004. At December 31,
2005, the evaluation of The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center
resulted in an impairment charge of $18.6 million
Valuation of goodwill. We recorded goodwill in connection with our
acquisitions of The Sports Club/LA in Los Angeles and Orange County, Reebok
Sports Club/NY and SportsMed. We are required to evaluate goodwill on an annual
basis or when certain events require us to reevaluate our goodwill. We performed
the analysis, as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and determined that our
remaining goodwill was not impaired.
Valuation of deferred income taxes. Valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The likelihood of material change in our expected realization of these assets
depends on future taxable income, our ability to deduct tax loss carry forwards
against future taxable income, the effectiveness of our tax planning and
strategies among the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate and any
significant changes in the tax laws.
Interest expense. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue No. 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,
interest was allocated to discontinued operations based on the interest on debt
that will be required to be repaid as a result of disposal transactions. On
January 13, 2006, we completed the sale of five of our nine sports and fitness
Clubs (see Footnote No. 5 to our consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this 10-K). The proceeds of $80.0 million from the sale were
required to be used to repay a portion of our $100.0 million of Senior Secured
Notes (see Footnote No. 7 to our consolidated financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this 10-K). Accordingly we have allocated to discontinued
operations 80.0% of the interest expense associated with the Senior Secured
Notes. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the amount of
interest expense allocated to discontinued operations was $9.9 million for each
year.
Results of Operations
Several reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statement
of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, primarily due to
our decision to retain The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center, as
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for Impairment
and Disposal of
20
Long-Lived Assets. The following discussion that compares our results of
operations for various periods is after consideration of such reclassifications.
Fiscal 2005 compared to Fiscal 2004
Our total revenue from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2005, was $56.2 million, compared to $52.1 million for the same
period in 2004, an increase of $4.1 million or 7.8%. Revenue increased by $2.6
million as a result of membership growth at The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills,
which opened on October 7, 2003. Revenue increased by $1.7 million at The Sports
Club/LA - Los Angeles, The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The Sports
Club/LA-Rockefeller Center as a result of dues increases, higher ancillary
revenues and to the reopening of the Spa at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles
which was closed for remodeling during part of 2004. There was a decrease in
revenue of approximately $233,000 at our two SportsMed locations primarily due
to decreased patient visits.
Our club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by
$763,000, or 1.9% to $41.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, versus
$40.8 million for the same period in 2004. Club operating costs and cost of
products and services increased by approximately $630,000, as a result of the
increases in variable costs (mostly payroll, payroll related and utilities)
associated with the increase in membership and revenues at The Sports
Club/LA-Beverly Hills. Club operating costs and cost of products and services
increased by approximately $471,000 at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles , The
Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller
Center primarily due to increased payroll and payroll related costs. There was a
decrease in cost of products and services of approximately $338,000 at our two
SportsMed facilities due to a decrease in the number of patient visits.
Our selling and marketing expenses were $1.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, versus $2.0 million for the same period in 2004, a decrease
of $189,000 or 9.5%. Selling and marketing expenses were down at each of our
Clubs and in almost every category of expense due to expense control measures we
undertook.
Our general and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, versus $8.1 million for the same period in 2004, a
decrease of $69,000. Payroll and payroll related expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2005, decreased by approximately $891,000, primarily due to
headcount decreases. Outside service fees increased by approximately $347,000
primarily due to costs incurred to retain an investment bank to assist us in
evaluating alternatives to restructure our debt. Rent decreased by $89,000 due
to lower rent costs at the corporate office. Legal fees increased by
approximately $535,000 primarily due to recording a $600,000 reimbursement of
certain legal costs incurred and expensed in prior years related to litigation
at one of our Clubs. Accounting fees increased by approximately $100,000 as a
result of increased audit fees necessary to complete our December 31, 2004 audit
and first two quarterly reviews in 2005. Other miscellaneous general
administrative expenses decreased by approximately $71,000 as a result of cost
cutting measures taken by management to reduce our general and administrative
expenses.
Pre-opening expenses of $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004
consisted of expenses related to The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills, which opened
on October 7, 2003.
We incurred an impairment charge during the year ended December 31,
2005, of $18.6 million. This impairment charge consisted of the write down of
fixed assets at The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center. The future
estimated cash flows from this Club were not adequate to recover the net book
value of its fixed assets. As a result, we were required to write down the fixed
assets to their estimated fair value.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $5.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, versus $7.0 million for the same period in 2004, a
decrease of $2.0 million or 28.5%. Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased by $88,000, primarily due to capital additions made at The Sports
Club/LA - Los Angeles , The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The Sports
Club/LA-Beverly Hills during 2004 and 2005. Depreciation and amortization
expenses increased by $610,000 at the corporate
21
office facility as a result of the decision to consolidate this leased office
space into other facilities. We decreased the amortization period of the
corporate office fixed assets from their original estimated useful lives to the
projected move date of December 31, 2005. Depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased by $38,000 as a result of the sale of three SportsMed locations in
2004. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $2.7 million due to
the classification of The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center to
"Held For Sale" status in December 2004. Once an asset is classified as "Held
For Sale" we cease recognizing depreciation expense with respect to the asset.
At the end of 2005 we decided not to sell The Sports Club/LA - New York at
Rockefeller Center and removed the assets from the "Held For Sale"
classification and adjusted the depreciable fixed assets to their estimated fair
values.
We recorded a non-recurring charge of $1.1 million during the year
ended December 31, 2004. This charge is comprised of various costs, primarily
legal fees and investment banking fees, related to a proposed restructuring
transaction that was initiated in April 2003 and abandoned in February 2004.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $9.9
million of interest expense related to our Senior Secured Notes, to discontinued
operations. The remaining net interest expense decreased by $169,000 to $4.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2005, from $4.7 million for the same
period in 2004. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily the result of
increased interest income earned on larger invested cash balances and to the
pay-down of equipment financing loans and other debt.
We did not record any federal or state deferred tax benefit related to
our consolidated pre-tax losses from continuing operations for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004.
Our income from discontinued operations was $1.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2005, versus a loss of $8.3 million for the same period in
2004, an increase of $9.7 million. Our income from discontinued operations
increased by $8.1 million because we discontinued recording depreciation expense
on assets held for sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived
Assets.. Our income from discontinued operations increased by approximately $1.5
million as a result of an increase in membership and to increases in dues and
ancillary services rates. Our income from discontinued operations increased by
$527,000 due to a loss on the sale of three stand-alone SportsMed facilities
that occurred in the third quarter of 2004. Our income from discontinued
operations decreased by $396,000 as a result of an increase in the minority
interest expense at Reebok Sports Club/NY during the year ended December 31,
2005 versus the same period in 2004.
After the income (loss) from discontinued operations and dividends on
preferred stock of $2.2 million in 2005 and $1.9 million in 2004, our
consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $24.5 million, or
$1.27 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005, versus a
loss of $22.6 million, or $1.21 per basic and diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
Our results in 2005 are not indicative of our future results, primarily
due to the Millennium transaction described in "Recent Developments."
Fiscal 2004 compared to Fiscal 2003
Our total revenue from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2004, was $52.1 million, compared to $45.7 million for the same
period in 2003, an increase of $6.4 million or 14.2%. Revenue increased by $6.5
million as a result of the opening of The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills on
October 7, 2003. Revenues at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles , The Sports
Club/LA - Orange County, The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center and
our remaining SportsMed facilities, decreased approximately $100,000 from the
prior year.
Our club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by
$7.6 million (23.1%) to $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
versus $33.2 million for the same period in 2003. Club operating costs and cost
of products and services increased by $6.7 million as a result of the opening
22
of The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills on October 7, 2003. Club operating costs and
cost of products and services increased by approximately $900,000 at The Sports
Club/LA - Los Angeles , The Sports Club/LA - Orange County, The Sports Club/LA -
New York at Rockefeller Center and our remaining SportsMed facilities primarily
due to increased payroll and payroll related costs at The Sports Club/LA Clubs
and to an increase in our reserve for bad debts of $200,000 related to our
remaining SportsMed facilities.
Our selling and marketing expenses were $2.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, versus $1.8 million for the same period in 2003, an increase
of $216,000 or 12.2%. Selling and marketing expenses increased by $450,000 as a
result of the opening of The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills on October 7, 2003 and
decreased by $234,000 at The Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center.
General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004, versus $7.5 million for the same period in 2003, an
increase of $631,000. Payroll and payroll-related expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2004 increased by $570,000, primarily due to normal compensation
and headcount increases. Legal fees decreased by approximately $400,000,
primarily due to the reimbursement of certain legal costs recognized in 2003
related to litigation at one of our Clubs. Outside service fees increased by
$533,000, primarily due to costs incurred to retain an investment bank to assist
us in evaluating alternatives to restructure our debt and due to costs incurred
for an advisor regarding certain potential real estate transactions. There were
other minor increases and decreases in other general and administrative expenses
resulting in a decrease of $72,000.
Pre-opening expenses of $46,000 and $2.3 million for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, consisted of expenses related to The
Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills, which opened on October 7, 2003.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $7.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, versus $6.4 million for the same period in 2003,
an increase of $674,000 or 10.6%. Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased by $561,000 as a result of the opening of The Sports Club/LA-Beverly
Hills on October 7, 2003 and by $113,000 primarily due to capital additions made
at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles , The Sports Club/LA - Orange County and The
Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center during 2003 and 2004.
We recorded an operating expense of $1.1 million during the year ended
December 31, 2004 comprised of various costs, primarily legal fees and
investment banking fees, related to a proposed equity transaction that was
initiated in April 2003 and abandoned in February 2004.
In the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 we allocated $9.9 million
of interest expense to discontinued operations. Our net remaining interest
expense increased by $1.1 million (28.9%) to $4.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, versus $3.7 million for the same period in 2003. Net interest
expense increased by $708,000 as a result of interest incurred on a $20.0
million five-year mortgage loan, which funded on June 12, 2003. Net interest
expense increased by $432,000 due to the termination of the capitalization of
interest on our construction costs for The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills in 2003
when the Club was ready for use. Net interest expense decreased by $76,000
primarily as a result of capital lease payoffs at The Sports Club/LA - New York
at Rockefeller Center.
We did not record any federal or state deferred tax benefit related to
our consolidated loss from continuing operations for the years ended December
31, 2004 and 2003.
Our loss from discontinued operations was $8.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004, versus $9.1 million for the same period in 2003, a
decrease of $280,000 or 3.1%. Our net loss decreased primarily as a result of a
5.6% increase in membership at our Clubs held for sale during the year ended
December 31, 2004 and to annual rate increases for monthly dues and other
ancillary services. In 2004, we also sold three SportsMed facilities that we
classified as discontinued operations. We recorded a loss on the disposal of
these three SportsMed facilities of $527,000 during September 2004.
23
After the loss from discontinued operations and dividends on preferred
stock of $1.9 million in 2004 and $1.4 million in 2003, our consolidated net
loss attributable to common stockholders was $22.6 million, or $1.21 per basic
and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2004, versus a loss of $19.8
million, or $1.08 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31,
2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
In 1999, we decided to expand The Sports Club/LA brand on a national
scale. We issued $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes that were scheduled to
mature in March 2006 and used the proceeds to construct six new Clubs between
2000 and 2004. We invested significant amounts of cash in the construction and
operations of these new Clubs. As typically happens when a new Club is open,
these Clubs operated at minimal or negative cash flows during their early stages
of operation as their membership levels were increasing. Because of this, we did
not have cash on hand to meet our interest obligations under the Senior Secured
Notes and therefore, between March 2002 and September 2004, we raised $24.0
million through four separate Preferred Stock issuances. During 2005, the
operations of these new Clubs increased to the level where our operating cash
flows were sufficient to cover our debt service and capital expenditure
requirements. However, we were faced with the maturity of the $100.0 million of
debt in March 2006. We therefore decided to sell some of our Clubs and seek new
financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles property. On January 13, 2006, we
completed the sale of five of our nine sports and fitness Clubs for $80.0
million. Concurrent with the sale, we completed a $60.0 million financing of The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles. Proceeds from these transactions were used to
retire the $100.0 million Senior Secured Notes.
Following the sale, we continue to own and operate four Clubs. We
believe our remaining consolidated operations will generate sufficient cash
flows to cover our operating costs and debt service obligation for the current
year. As of January 31, 2006, we have over $30.0 million of cash on hand to fund
our operations going forward.
We plan on spending more than the normal amount on capital expenditures
at three of our Clubs during 2006. Normally, we would expect to spend between
3-4% of revenues on capital expenditures. This would approximate $2.0 million
per year. In 2006, we plan on replacing much of our cardio vascular and weight
training equipment, carpeting, audio visual equipment and lockers at these three
Clubs as well as making other significant capital expenditures. Therefore, we
have budgeted $7.6 million for capital expenditures in 2006.
We also intend to retire our Series E Preferred Stock after May 31,
2006 when it can be redeemed. We expect to use $2.4 million of cash to redeem
the stock and accrued dividends. At that time we may also pay all accrued
dividends on the Series B, C and D Preferred Stock as well as retire the Series
C and D Preferred Stock owned by Millennium. This would result in the retirement
of an additional $13.4 million of Preferred Stock and accrued dividends. We
would only be required to use $5.3 million of cash to make these redemptions
since the amounts due to Millennium will be offset against a Note receivable we
currently have from them. Our Board of Directors has not yet approved these
transactions.
Substantial funds are required to develop additional new Clubs. Our
current debt levels make it difficult for us to secure the financing to develop
additional new sites. Therefore we would expect any new Clubs to be structured
as joint ventures, partnership agreements or management arrangements. We are
currently pursuing several potential new Club developments that would be
structured in that manner. This structure would allow us to expand our brand and
receive an immediate earnings stream and cash flow, with the potential for
additional profits, without making the significant capital investment required
to develop a club without a partner.
24
Operating Activities
At December 31, 2005, our cash balance was $10.3 million. In January
2006, we completed the sale of five Clubs, financed The Sports Club/LA - Los
Angeles and retired our $100.0 million Senior Secured Notes leaving us with over
$30.0 million of cash as of January 31, 2006. During 2005, we generated cash
flows from operating activities, from continuing operations, of $4.8 million. We
believe we will continue to generate positive cash flows in the future.
During 2005, we used $669,000 of cash flow to support our discontinued
operations.
Investing Activities
Investing activities consist of new Club development and expenditures
to maintain and update our existing Clubs. Our Clubs are upscale and capital
improvements are regularly needed to retain the upscale nature and presentation
of the Clubs. A deterioration of the quality of the Clubs can lead to reduction
in membership levels and lower revenues. In 2005, capital expenditures to
maintain and update our Clubs, were $2.2 million for continuing operations and
$880,000 for discontinued operations. We normally estimate that expenditures of
between 3% and 4% of revenues, depending on the age of the Club, will be
necessary to maintain the quality of the Clubs to our satisfaction. However, in
2006 we plan on spending approximately $7.6 million in capital expenditures at
our four Clubs. We plan to replace most cardio vascular and weight training
equipment, carpeting, audio visual equipment and lockers at our three
established Clubs and upgrade our management information systems and enhance our
disaster recovery capabilities.
We currently have no definitive plans for new Club developments that
would require our own capital. However, we are in preliminary discussion with
several parties about the possibility of developing new Clubs under management
agreements.
Financing Activities
On April 1, 1999, we issued in a private placement $100.0 million of 11
3/8% Senior Secured Notes due in March 2006, with interest due semi-annually.
The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture
agreement dated April 1, 1999 (the "Indenture"). The Senior Secured Notes were
secured by substantially all of our assets, other than certain excluded assets.
The Senior Secured Notes were repaid in January 2006 with the proceeds from the
sale of five of our Clubs and the financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles.
On June 12, 2003, we obtained financing in the form of a secured
five-year promissory loan in the amount of $20.0 million. The loan is evidenced
by a promissory note that bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.25%;
requires monthly principal and interest payments of $144,561; is secured by the
common stock and all the assets of Irvine Sports Club, Inc., our wholly owned
subsidiary that owns The Sports Club/LA - Orange County; and is guaranteed by
two of our major stockholders. The note may be prepaid at any time without
penalty and requires a final payment of $18.3 million on July 1, 2008.
In March 2004, three of our principal shareholders purchased $6.5
million of a newly created class of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in a
private placement offering. The proceeds were used to pay the March 15, 2004
interest payment on our Senior Secured Notes and to provide additional working
capital. In September 2004, three of our principal shareholders purchased $2.0
million of a newly created class of Series E Preferred Stock in another private
placement offering. The proceeds were used to pay the September 15, 2004
interest payment on our Senior Secured Notes. The Series E Preferred Stock may
be redeemed at any time after May 31, 2006.
In January 2006, we secured a $60.0 million mortgage note at The Sports
Club/LA - Los Angeles. The note, which matures in January 2016, is secured by
all the real estate and other assets at The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, bears
interest at 6.48% per annum and requires monthly payments of $404,375 which
amortizes the loan over a twenty-five year period. Two of our shareholders
executed limited
25
guarantees under which the lender has recourse to them in certain circumstances.
We have agreed to indemnify these shareholders under certain circumstances for
losses under this guarantee. In exchange for the guarantee, we agreed to pay
each guarantor a fee equal to .75% per annum of the average outstanding
principal balance of the loan. At our discretion, such fees may be paid in
Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof.

=========== =========== =========== ========= ===========
-------------
(1) On April 1, 1999, we issued in a private placement $100.0 million of 11 3/8%
Senior Secured Notes due in March 2006 with interest due semi-annually. On
January 13, 2006, we retired the Senor Secured Notes but were required to pay
interest through February 5, 2006.
(2) On June 12, 2003, we obtained financing in the form of a secured five-year
promissory loan in the amount of $20.0 million. The loan bears interest at a
fixed interest rate of 7.25%; requires monthly principal and interest payments
of $144,561; and requires a final principal payment of $18.3 million on July 1,
2008.
(3) The equipment financing loans are secured by related furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The amounts are generally repayable in monthly payments over four or
five years.
(4) We lease certain facilities pursuant to various operating lease agreements.
Club facility leases are generally long-term and noncancelable triple-net leases
(requiring us to pay all real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses),
and, for our Clubs included in continuing operations, have an average remaining
term of 19.72 years, including renewal options which are included in the lease
term, with the earliest lease expiration date of January 31, 2013. We are also
obligated under lease agreements for six of our former Spectrum Club locations.
We have subleased each of these properties to the buyer of these Clubs under
sublease agreements which provide that all operating costs of these facilities
be assumed by the new owners. Amounts due for Spectrum Club leases are excluded
from this table. (See Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements). This table
also excludes amounts due under operating leases related to Clubs that were sold
in January 2006 and whose operations are included in discontinued operations in
our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have no continuing obligations under
these operating leases .
(5) We own a 50.1% interest in the partnership that owns The Sports Club/LA -
Los Angeles, and D. Michael Talla, our Chairman, beneficially owns the remaining
49.9%. We have the option to redeem Mr. Talla's preferred partnership interest
for $600,000, which expires on December 31, 2008. We have included the annual
preferred distribution of $149,700 to Mr. Talla in the above table for the next
three years and the redemption amount is included in 2008 (Year 3).
(6) On March 18, 2002, we issued 10,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The
stock is redeemable by the stockholders on March 18, 2009. On September 14,
2004, we issued 20,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The stock is
redeemable by the stockholders after May 31, 2006. The amount of dividends
payable on the redemption date is included in the above table.
27
Impact of Inflation
We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our results of
operations for any of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2005. We cannot provide assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse
impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Seasonality of Business
Seasonal trends have a limited impact on our operations. We typically
experience a slight increase in membership sales in the first quarter.
Additionally, we normally experience a slight decrease in our revenues during
the summer months at our New York Clubs due to lower membership attendance.
Forward Looking Statements
From time to time we make "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements include the words
"may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "believe," "expect" or "anticipate" and
other similar words. The forward-looking statements generally appear in the
material set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" but may be found in other
locations as well. Forward-looking statements may also be found in our other
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our press
releases and other public disclosures. These forward-looking statements
generally relate to our plans and objectives for future operations and are based
upon management's reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we
believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, such plans or objectives may not be
achieved. Actual results may differ from projected results due to unforeseen
developments, including developments relating to the following:
o the availability and adequacy of our cash flow and financing
facilities for our requirements, including payment of our mortgage
notes,
o our ability to attract and retain members, which depends on
competition, market acceptance of new and existing sports and fitness
clubs and services, demand for sports and fitness club services
generally and competitive pricing trends in the sports and fitness
market,
o our ability to successfully develop new sports and fitness clubs,
o disputes or other problems arising with development partners or
landlords,
o changes in economic, competitive, demographic and other conditions in
the geographic areas in which we operate, including business
interruptions resulting from earthquakes or other causes,
o competition,
o changes in personnel or compensation, and
o changes in statutes and regulations or legal proceedings and rulings.
We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation
may change in the future.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
All of our current financing bears interest at a fixed rate and is not
subject to interest rate risk. We are exposed to risk from a change in interest
rates to the extent we are required to refinance existing fixed rate
indebtedness at rates higher than those prevailing at the time the existing
indebtedness was incurred. As of December 31, 2005, we had Senior Secured Notes
totaling $100.0 million due in March 2006 bearing an interest rate of 11.375%.
Annual interest of $11.4 million was payable semi-annually in March and
September. On January 13, 2006, we repaid the Senior Secured Notes and borrowed
$60.0 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.48%. We also have a
$19.3 million loan with a fixed rate of 7.25% that matures and requires a final
principal payment of $18.3 million on July 1, 2008. A hypothetical increase in
interest rates of 1% would have increased our interest expense by approximately
$1.2 million per year.
The fair value of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2005 is
estimated as follows (in thousands):
Senior Secured Notes....................... $ 100,000
First Mortgage Note........................ 19,250

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Sports Club Company, Inc.
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Sports Club
Company, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
two years in the period then ended. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed at the index in Item 8 as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an
audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The
Sports Club Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years in the period
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the consolidated financial
statement schedule when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Sports Club Company, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
2003. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we
have also audited the financial statement schedule for the year ended December
31, 2003. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of
The Sports Club Company, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in
our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring net losses, has a
working capital deficiency and has negative cash flows from operating activities
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, effective January 1, 2002.

THE SPORTS CLUB COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005
1. Organization
The Sports Club Company, Inc. (the "Company") operates sports and
fitness Clubs ("Clubs"), primarily under the The Sports Club/LA name. The Sports
Club/LA sites are developed as "urban country clubs" offering a full range of
services including numerous fitness and recreation options, diverse facilities
and other amenities. The Sports Club/LA is marketed to affluent, health
conscious individuals who desire a premier Club.
2. Reclassification
In December 2004, the Company committed to a plan and came to an
understanding to sell six of its nine sports and fitness Clubs to an affiliate
of Millennium Entertainment Partners (collectively with its affiliates
"Millennium") for $65.0 million. Accordingly, the Company reported the operating
results of these six Clubs as discontinued operations and their assets and
liabilities as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements included
in the Company's 2004 10-K.
As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements for 2003 and
2004 previously reported the assets and liabilities of The Sports Club/LA - New
York at Rockefeller Center as held for sale and reported the operations of this
Club as part of discontinued operations. In November 2005, the Company decided
to retain ownership of this Club. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements have been revised to include the assets, liabilities and operating
results of this club as part of continuing operations in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for Impairment
and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
A reclassified consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 and a
reclassified consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2004, reflecting the above reclassification are presented below.
The amounts are in thousands, except per share amounts:
The consolidated statements of cash flows for 2003 and 2004 presented
elsewhere in this 2005 Form 10-K have also been reclassified to reflect The
Sports Club/LA - New York at Rockefeller Center as a continuing operation.

3. Liquidity/Going Concern
We previously disclosed the following in our financial statements filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2004:
"The Company has experienced recurring net losses of $22.7 million,
$18.4 million and $20.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003
and 2004, respectively. The Company has also experienced net cash flows used in
operating activities from (both continuing and discontinued operations) of $4.4
million and $3.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. During 2004, the Company experienced net cash flows from operating
activities of $1.7 million. Additionally, the Company may suffer a significant
loss during the year ending December 31, 2005. On March 15, 2006, the
F-10
Company is required to repay its $100.00 million Senior Secured Notes. In the
past, the Company has had to raise funds through the offering of equity
securities in order to make the interest payments due on its Senior Secured
Notes. The above historical and estimated future results of operations and cash
flows in relation to the Company's debt obligations raise substantial doubts
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's
continued existence is dependent upon its ability to satisfy the interest and
principal obligation of its Senior Secured Notes."
As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in
order to generate funds for the March 2006 payment, the Company sold five Clubs
in January 2006 for $80.0 million and completed a $60.0 million financing of The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles. The net proceeds from these two transactions were
used to retire the Senior Secured Notes.
As a result of these two transactions, as of January 31, 2006, the
Company has over $30 million of cash on hand to fund its operations going
forward. The Company's remaining consolidated operations are expected to
generate sufficient cash flows to cover its operating costs and debt service
obligation for at least the next twelve months. Due to these events and
management's plan of operations described above, the uncertainty as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve month
period has been eliminated.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has
a 50.1% interest in the partnership that owns The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles,
and the Company's Chairman beneficially owns the remaining 49.9%. The Company
includes The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles in its consolidated financial
statements. The partnership agreement provides that, on an annual basis, the
partners will share in the first $300,000 of the Club's net cash flow and
profits in proportion to their percentage interests. The next $35.0 million of
annual net cash flow will be distributed to the Company. All distributions of
net cash flow thereafter, if any, will be made to the partners in proportion to
their percentage interests. The Company has the option to redeem the preferred
partnership interest in the partnership held by the Company's Chairman. The
option expires on December 31, 2008. The preferred partnership interest is
carried at its redemption amount, which is $600,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2005 and has been classified as minority interest on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company receives initiation fees and monthly membership dues from
its members. Substantially all of the Company's members join on a month-to-month
basis and can therefore cancel their membership at any time. The transaction in
which the Company receives initiation fees may include free private training
sessions. Under Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangement with
Multiple Elements, the Company determined that the initiation fees and private
training sessions did not represent separate units of accounting. Accordingly,
initiation fees and related direct expenses (primarily sales commissions) are
deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis, over the average membership
life. Effective in the second quarter of 2005, the Company started amortizing
initiation fees over the membership lives of each Club based on each individual
Club's respective average membership life. Such average lives range from two and
a half to five years. For the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the
Company recognized a portion of the membership initiation fee as private
training revenues since members were granted the opportunity to utilize private
training at no charge. The amount of such revenue was not material to the 2003
consolidated financial statements. Dues that are received in advance are
recognized on a pro-rata basis over the periods in which services are to be
provided. In addition, payments of last month dues are deferred.
F-11
Revenues for services including private training, spa treatments and
physical therapy sessions are recorded when such services are performed. Amounts
received in advance of performing these services are recorded as deferred
revenues. Revenues from the Company's SportsMed subsidiary are recognized as
services are performed based upon the estimated amount to be collected by the
Company. Management fees, including reimbursed costs, are recognized as the
management services are provided.
Reimbursed Costs
The Company accounts for reimbursed costs in accordance with Emerging
Issue Task Force ("EITF") 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as an Agent. EITF 99-19 requires that revenue be reported gross with
separate display of cost of sales to arrive at gross profit, when the Company
acts as a primary obligor in the transaction, has discretion in selecting the
service provider and has credit risk as the Company receives reimbursements
after the goods or services have been purchased. Reimbursed costs relate to The
Sports Club/LA - Miami, which is a non-owned Club that the Company manages for
its owner. The Company receives a management fee for managing the Club and is
reimbursed for all costs that are advanced on the owner's behalf. Reimbursed
costs are recorded as both revenue and expense in the consolidated financial
statements. Such amounts are classified as discontinued operations since the
Company committed to the termination of the management agreement in 2004 in
connection with the commitment to sell six of its nine Clubs.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
The Company provides a reserve against its receivables for estimated
losses that may result from its members' inability to pay. The Company
determines the amount of the reserve by analyzing known uncollectible accounts,
economic conditions and historical losses and its members' creditworthiness. The
likelihood of a material loss from this area is minimal due to the Company's
limited exposure to credit risk.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2004
and 2005, cash and cash equivalents were $7.6 million and $10.3 million,
respectively.
The Company considers cash, cash equivalents and other short-term
investments that are required to be held as deposits to satisfy certain
governmental regulatory or Club deposits as restricted cash. At December 31,
2004 and 2005, the Company had $3.4 and $1.4 million, respectively, of
restricted cash.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market.
Inventories consist of retail merchandise sold at spas, nutritional products,
food and beverage products, uniforms and supplies.
Advertising Costs
Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed
as incurred. Advertising expense for continuing operations totaled approximately
$473,000, $506,000 and $342,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and
2005, respectively. Advertising expense for discontinued operations totaled
approximately $942,000, $517,000 and $391,000 for the years ended December 31,
2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively.
Loan Costs
Loan costs and the debt discount on the Senior Notes are amortized over
the terms of the related loans using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest method.
F-12
Lease Accounting
The Company records rent expense on its facilities under operating
leases. The aggregate rental obligation is expensed on a straight line basis
over the lease term, commencing with the date when the Company takes possession
of the property. If the lease imposes a significant economic penalty not to
renew an option period, the Company uses the initial period plus the option
period as the lease term. Rent incurred before the facility is ready for use has
been capitalized as leasehold improvements. Effective December 15, 2005, the
Company adopted FASB Staff Position 13-1 Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred
During a Construction Period, which requires rental costs incurred during
construction be expensed.
Interest Expense
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 87-24,
Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, interest was allocated to
discontinued operations based on the interest on debt that will be required or
was required to be repaid as a result of disposal transactions. In January 2006,
the Company completed the sale of five of its nine sports and fitness Clubs (See
Note 5). The proceeds of $80.0 million from the sale of these secured assets was
used to repay a portion of the $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes (See Note
7). Accordingly the Company has allocated to discontinued operations 80.0% of
the interest associated with the Senior Secured Notes. For the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the amount of interest allocated to
discontinued operations was $9.9 million each year.
Start-up Costs
All costs related to the development of new sports and fitness clubs,
except for real estate related costs, are expensed as incurred. Real estate
related costs, which include construction costs and rent payments prior to
opening, have been capitalized. Effective December 15, 2005, the Company adopted
FASB Staff Position 13-1 Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred During a
Construction Period, which requires rental costs incurred during construction be
expensed.
Comprehensive Loss
A Statement of Comprehensive Loss is not presented since there are no
other components of other comprehensive loss except net loss.
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortization, including assets under capital leases,
are computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, ranging from five to seven years for equipment and forty
years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term (including option
periods for which the Company will incur a penalty for non-renewal) or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. Through 2005, the Company evaluated its
long-lived assets on a club-by-club basis with the exception of its three New
York Clubs, which were evaluated on a combined basis due to the inter-related
nature of the operations of the New York Clubs. Due to the sale of two New York
Clubs in January 2006, the Company now evaluates all its long lived assets on a
Club-by-Club basis.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
F-13
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held
and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future net undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No loss
impairment was recognized during 2004 based on management's review. At December
31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $18.6 million related to
The Sports Club/LA-New York at Rockefeller Center.
Goodwill
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and certain intangibles no longer be
amortized, but instead be reviewed for impairment on at least an annual basis or
when certain events require the Company to reevaluate. Through December 31,
2001, goodwill was being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years.
The Company has goodwill recorded which is no longer being amortized due to the
adoption of SFAS No. 142. An annual test was performed as of December 31, 2005
and 2004 and the Company concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
In 2001, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that
future taxable income will be insufficient to utilize its deferred tax assets.
As a result of this determination, the Company ceased recording any further
deferred tax benefit related to its taxable losses. The Company will continue to
evaluate its projected future taxable operating income and reconsider its
current determination as appropriate.
Earnings per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings reflects the actual weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of all
dilutive options, warrants and other securities and utilizes the treasury stock
method or if converted method as appropriate. Since the Company had losses for
all periods presented, basic and diluted weighted average outstanding shares
were the same.
The securities whose conversion would result in an incremental number
of shares that would be included in determining the weighted average shares
outstanding for diluted earnings per share if their effect was not antidilutive
are as follows:
o December 31, 2005 - 1,188,333 stock options; 10,500 shares of Series B
redeemable convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into 3,636,867
shares of Common Stock at $2.8871 per share); 5,000 shares of Series C
convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into 1,731,842 shares of
Common Stock at $2.8871 per share); and 65,000 shares of Series D
convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into 3,250,000 shares of
Common Stock at $2.00 per share).
o December 31, 2004 - 1,741,833 stock options; 10,500 shares of Series B
redeemable convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into 3,636,867
shares of Common Stock at $2.8871 per share); 5,000
F-14
shares of Series C convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into
1,731,842 shares of Common Stock at $2.8871 per share); and 65,000
shares of Series D convertible Preferred Stock, (convertible into
3,250,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share).
o December 31, 2003 - 1,754,609 stock options; 10,500 shares of Series B
redeemable convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 3,500,000
shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share) and 5,000 shares of Series
C convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,666,667 shares of
Common Stock at $3.00 per share).
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has elected to account for stock options granted to
employees and directors under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, using the
intrinsic value method. Entities electing to continue using the accounting
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income
(loss) and income (loss) per share, as if the fair value based method of
accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. In accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost has been recognized as the fair value of
the Company's stock was equal to the exercise price of the options at the date
of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company's plan been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss attributable to common
stockholders and loss per share would have been increased to the pro-forma
amounts indicated below:

============ ============ ===============
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123,
Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). The revision requires all entities to
recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of
share-based payments granted to employees. SFAS 123(R) eliminates the
alternative method of accounting for employee share-based payments previously
available under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"). In April
2005, the FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS 123(R) to fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. As a result, SFAS 123(R) will be effective for
the Company beginning on January 1, 2006. Implementation of SFAS 123(R) will not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions.
F-15
These affect the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of any
contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Those estimates include the estimated
undiscounted cash flows used to determine any potential impairment of long-lived
assets and a change in such undiscounted cash flows may change the Company's
conclusion as to their impairment. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts related to cash equivalents, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable
approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturity of such instruments.
The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows of each instrument at rates currently available to the Company for similar
debt instruments of comparable maturities or by obtaining the then current fair
value from the publicly traded bond market. The fair value of long-term debt at
December 31, 2005 was estimated to be $119.3 million.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company's Series B redeemable convertible Preferred Stock is stated
at redemption value, less the unamortized discount. The discount is being
accreted as an adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable convertible
Preferred Stock through the date at which the Preferred Stock is redeemable at
the option of the holder with a charge to accumulated deficit using the
effective-interest method. Due to the inherent uncertainties regarding the
ability and ultimate timing of either the redemption or conversion of these
preferred shares, it is not practicable for management to determine their fair
value.
The Company's redeemable Series E Preferred Stock is stated at its
original stated value, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.
Segment Reporting
Management has determined that the Company has one reporting segment.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 151, Inventory
Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No.
151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current period
charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory
based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. Management does not expect the
implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary
Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle
that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value
of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception
for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a
broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. Previously, APB Opinion No. 29 required that the
accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset
or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be
based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. APB Opinion No. 29
provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for
exchanges of similar productive assets. The FASB believes that exception
required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, be
recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing
F-16
the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the FASB believes
SFAS No. 153 produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the
economics of the transactions. The SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary
asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in
fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of SFAS No.
153 shall be applied prospectively. Management does not expect the
implementation of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) will require that compensation cost
relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial
statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or
liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based
compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans,
performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase
plans. SFAS No. 123(R) replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable
a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions
with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of
continuing to apply the guidance in APB Opinion No. 25, as long as the footnotes
to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the
preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those
filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS No. 123(R) as
of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.
Management does not expect the implementation of this new standard to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No.
3. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial
statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to
determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the
change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect
effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in
nondiscretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change,
should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 also
requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for
long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting
estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective
for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this
Statement is issued. Management does not expect the implementation of this new
standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
FASB Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47") Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations was issued by the FASB in March 2005. FIN 47 provides
guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal
obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires
recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement
obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably
estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2005. Management does not expect the implementation of this
new standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In October 2005, FASB staff issued Position 13-1 Accounting for Rental
Costs Incurred During a Construction Period ("FAS 13-1"). FAS 13-1 addresses the
accounting for rental costs associated with operating leases that are incurred
during a construction period. FAS 13-1 requires that such costs be recognized as
rental expenses. The guidance provided by FAS 13-1 shall be applied to the
reporting periods ending after December 31, 2005. Retrospective application is
not required and the Company will apply the provisions prospectively. Since the
Company does not have any current Clubs under development, implementation of
this new standard will not impact the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

5. Assets Held for Sale and Sale of Assets
In December 2004, the Company committed to a plan and came to an
understanding to sell six of its nine sports and fitness Clubs to an affiliate
of Millennium Entertainment Partners (collectively with its affiliates
"Millennium") for $65.0 million. Accordingly, the Company reported the operating
results of these six Clubs as discontinued operations and their assets and
liabilities as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements included
in the Company's 2004 10-K (see Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements). In November 2005, the Company decided to retain ownership of one
Club and increase the sales price to $80.0 million. The consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K have been reclassified to
reflect the decision to retain ownership of this Club (see Note 2 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements). On January 13, 2006, the Company
completed the sale of five Clubs to Millennium for $80.0 million. Millennium is
the Company's largest stockholder and was the landlord at four of these Clubs.
The Clubs sold include the Company's interest in Reebok Sports Club/NY and The
Sports Club/LA in Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco and the Upper East Side
in New York. The Company's management agreement covering the Club in Miami was
also terminated. The Company received $50.0 million in cash upon closing the
sale (before transaction related costs) and received two Notes from Millennium.
The first Note of $22.2 million was due and was collected on January 31, 2006.
The second Note of $7.8 million is due in 2013 and is secured by a pledge of the
Series C and Series D Preferred Stock owned by Millennium. The Note is also
guaranteed by an affiliate of Millennium. The net proceeds from the sale
exceeded the carrying value of the net assets sold by approximately $25.0
million.
Concurrent with the asset sale the Company entered into several
ancillary agreements with Millennium. These agreements provide Millennium rights
to use certain Proprietary Information and Trademarks in connection with their
operations of the acquired Clubs. The Company also entered into a short-term
Transitional Services Agreement with Millennium to assist them in certain areas
to ensure an orderly transition in the operations of the Clubs. Millennium, as
the owner of these Clubs, remains responsible for general management of each
Club and the Company is not involved in the management of the sold Clubs.
In October 2004, the Company sold three SportsMed physical therapy
facilities for $600,000. The Company continues to own and operate two SportsMed
facilities that are located within The Sports Club/LA Clubs in Los Angeles and
Orange County. The 2004 statement of operations includes a loss of $527,000
recognized on the sale of these assets.
The operating results of the five Clubs and SportsMed facilities sold
have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of
operations. Summarized financial data for these locations are as follows:

=========== ============
(a) On April 1, 1999, the Company issued in a private placement $100.0 million
of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due in March 2006 (the "Senior Notes") with
interest due semi-annually. In May 1999, the Senior Notes were exchanged for
registered Series B Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior Secured Notes"). The
Senior Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets,
other than certain excluded assets. In connection with the issuance of the
Senior Secured Notes, the Company entered into an indenture dated as of April 1,
1999 (the "Indenture") that includes certain covenants, which as of December 31,
2005, restrict the Company's ability, subject to certain exceptions, to: (i)
incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or other distributions, or
repurchase capital stock or other equity interests or subordinated indebtedness;
and (iii) make certain investments. The Indenture also limits the Company's
ability to: (i) enter into transactions with affiliates, (ii) create liens on or
sell certain assets, and (iii) enter into mergers and consolidations.
On January 13, 2006, the Senior Secured Notes were repaid with the
proceeds from the Company's asset sale and financing of The Sports Club/LA - Los
Angeles real estate. The Company has classified $65.0 million of the Senior
Secured Notes as a current liability as of December 31, 2004 because the
Indenture required that the proceeds from the asset sale retire a portion of the
outstanding Senior Secured Notes and the Company anticipated it would close the
transaction before December 31, 2005 and use $65.0 million of the sales proceeds
to retire a portion of the Senior Secured Notes.
(b) The equipment financing loans are secured by furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The amounts are generally repayable in monthly payments over four or
five years.
(c) The mortgage note bears interest at a fixed interest rate of 7.25%; requires
monthly principal and interest payments of $144,561; is secured by the common
stock and all the assets of Irvine Sports Club, Inc., the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary that owns The Sports Club/LA - Orange County; and is guaranteed by
two of the Company's major shareholders. The note requires The Sports Club/LA -
Orange County to maintain a minimum operating income, as defined, or the Company
will be required to establish a payment reserve account of up to $607,000. As of
December 31, 2005, the Company has maintained the minimum operating income. The
note may be prepaid at any time without penalty and requires a final principal
payment of $18.3 million on July 1, 2008.
Future minimum annual principal payments at December 31, 2005, are as

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company leases certain facilities pursuant to various operating
lease agreements. Club facility leases are generally long-term and noncancelable
triple-net leases (requiring the Company to pay all real estate taxes, insurance
and maintenance expenses). The Company is also obligated under lease agreements
for six of its former Spectrum Club locations that were sold in 1999. The
Company has subleased each of these properties to the buyer of these Clubs under
sublease agreements which provide that all operating costs of these facilities
be assumed by the new owners. Future minimum noncancelable operating lease
payments as of December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):

Litigation
The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to
its business, including claims arising from accidents. However, in the opinion
of management, the Company is adequately insured against such claims and
lawsuits involving personal injuries, and any ultimate liability arising out of
any such proceedings will not have an material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial condition, cash flow or results of operations.
Employment Agreements
At December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any employment
agreements with any employees.

9. Preferred Stock
Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 18, 2002, the Company completed a $10.5 million private
placement of a newly created series of its Redeemable Convertible Preferred
Stock. The Company received $9.9 million in cash, after issuance costs, and
issued 10,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, $.01 par value ("Series B
Preferred"), at a price of $1,000 per share. The Company has the option to
redeem any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred at any time and the holders
may require the redemption of any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred on or
after March 18, 2009 at a price of $1,000 per share plus accrued but unpaid
dividends. Dividends accrue at the annual rate of $90.00 per share. Such
dividends are cumulative but do not accrue interest and at the Company's option,
may be paid in cash or in additional shares of Series B Preferred. The Series B
Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted into shares of Common
Stock at the rate of $2.8871 per share, as adjusted for the issuance of Series D
Preferred Stock in March 2004. At December 31, 2005, the Series B Preferred,
including accrued dividends of $3,598,000, was convertible into 4,883,100 shares
of Common Stock. The conversion price will be adjusted downward in the event the
Company issues additional shares of Common Stock at a price below $2.8871 per
share, subject to certain exceptions; and any such downward adjustment is
subject to the prior approval of the American Stock Exchange. In the event of
liquidation, the Series B Preferred holders are entitled to receive, prior and
in preference to any distribution to common shareholders and pari passu with
holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, an amount equal to $1,000 for each
share of Series B Preferred then outstanding. Since the Series B Preferred is
conditionally redeemable after the redemption date (assuming it has not been
converted into Common Stock), the Company has classified this instrument as a
component between liabilities and stockholders' equity (deficit) on the
consolidated balance sheet.
The initial carrying value of the Series B Preferred was recorded at
its sale price of $10.5 million less $592,000 of costs to issue on the date of
issuance. The carrying value of the Series B Preferred will be periodically
adjusted so that the carrying value equals the redemption value on the
redemption date. The carrying value of the Series B Preferred will also be
periodically adjusted for any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B
Preferred carrying value consisted of the following (in thousands):

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On September 6, 2002, the Company completed a $5.0 million private
placement of a newly created series of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company
received $5.0 million in cash and issued 5,000 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value ("Series C Preferred"), at a price of $1,000 per
share. Dividends accrue at an annual rate of $90.00 per share. Dividends are
payable when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are
cumulative, but do not accrue interest and at the Company's option, may be paid
in cash or additional shares of Series C Preferred. Dividends are paid pari
passu with dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, upon
conversion any earned and unpaid dividends would become payable. Accordingly,
the Company has accrued such Series C dividends. The Series C Preferred may, at
the option of the holder, be converted into shares of Common Stock at the rate
of $2.8871 per share, as adjusted for the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock
in March 2004. At December 31, 2005, the Series C Preferred, including accrued
dividends of $1,490,000, was convertible into 2,247,930 shares of Common Stock.
Upon conversion, any earned and unpaid dividends would become payable in cash or
additional shares of Series C Preferred, at the Company's option. The conversion
price will be adjusted downward in the event the Company issues additional
shares of Common Stock at a price below $2.8871 per share, subject to certain
exceptions; and any such downward adjustment is subject to the prior approval of
the American Stock Exchange. At the option of the Company the Series C Preferred
Stock may be redeemed in whole or in part by paying in cash the sum of $1,000
per share plus any earned and unpaid dividends. In the event of liquidation, the
Series C Preferred holders are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
any distribution to common shareholders, and pari passu with holders of the
Series B Preferred, an amount equal to $1,000 for each share of Series C
Preferred then outstanding, plus earned and unpaid dividends.
The carrying value of the Series C Preferred is periodically adjusted
for any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series C Preferred dividends are
accrued because they must be paid concurrently with any redemption of the Series
B Preferred. The Series C Preferred carrying value consisted of the following
(in thousands):
Total carrying value at December 31, 2002........... $ 5,140
Accrued and unpaid dividend accretion............... 450

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 12, 2004, the Company completed a $6.5 million private
placement of a newly created series of Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company
received $6.1 million in cash, net of costs, and issued 65,000 shares of $.01
par value Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred"), at a
price of $100 per share. The Series D Preferred was purchased by three of the
Company's major shareholders consisting of Rex Licklider (the Company's Chief
Executive Officer), Millennium and Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors. Dividends
accrue at an annual rate of $9.00 per share and shall be paid prior and in
preference to any dividends earned on the Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred, Common Stock or any other class of equity security that is junior to
the Series D Preferred. Dividends are payable when and as declared by the Board
of Directors. Such dividends are cumulative, but do not accrue interest and at
the Company's option, may be paid in cash or additional shares of Series D
Preferred. The Series D Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted
into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $2.00 per share. At December 31,
2005, the Series D Preferred, including accrued dividends of $1,056,000, was
convertible into 3,778,000 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Series D
Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock upon the
consummation of a qualified public stock offering of at least $50.0 million or
if the closing price of the Common Stock for a period of thirty consecutive
trading days exceeds $6.00 per share and at least 150,000 shares of Common Stock
have been traded during such applicable
F-24
thirty day period. Upon conversion, any earned and unpaid dividends would become
payable. The conversion price will be adjusted equitably in the event of any
combination, recapitalization, merger, reclassification or similar transaction
or issuance of Common Stock (or any instrument convertible into or exercisable
into Common Stock) at a price per share less than $2.00. Commencing on the sixth
anniversary of the issuance of the Series D Preferred the Company at its option
may redeem the Series D Preferred in whole or in part by paying in cash the sum
of $100 per share plus any earned and unpaid dividends. In the event of
liquidation, the Series D Preferred holders are entitled to receive, prior and
in preference to any distribution to common shareholders and holders of the
Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred, an amount equal to $100 for each
share of Series D Preferred then outstanding, plus any earned and unpaid
dividends. The holders of the Series D Preferred are afforded protective rights
that among other things restrict the Company's ability to incur debt or lease
obligations, make investments or acquisitions, sell a Club leased from
Millennium, issue any new class of equity securities, repurchase or redeem any
equity securities, hire or fire the Chief Executive Officer, enter into any new
line of business or change the primary line of business and issue options under
the Company's stock option plans. In addition, Millennium is entitled to
designate two directors (at least one of whom must be independent) and the other
two holders are each entitled to designate one director, to serve on the
Company's Board of Directors.
The carrying value of the Series D Preferred is periodically adjusted
for any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series D Preferred carrying value

Series E Redeemable Preferred Stock
On September 14, 2004, the Company completed a $2.0 million private
placement of a newly created series of Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company
received $2.0 million in cash and issued 20,000 shares of $.01 par value Series
E Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred") at a price of $100 per
share. The Series E Preferred was purchased by three of the Company's principal
shareholders consisting of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, Rex Licklider and D.
Michael Talla. Dividends are earned at an annual rate of $11.375 per share.
Dividends are cumulative, do not accrue interest and, at the Company's option,
may be paid in additional shares of Series E Preferred. The Series E Preferred
is not convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock and, except as
required by law, does not entitle the holder(s) to vote on matters brought
before the Company's stockholders. At any time after May 31, 2006, provided the
Company is legally able to do so, (i) the Company may, redeem all or part of the
Series E Preferred for cash at the redemption price of $100 per share, together
with all accrued but unpaid dividends or (ii) the holders of at least 50% of the
Series E Preferred may demand that the Company redeem all the shares of the
Series E Preferred by paying the redemption price in cash to each holder of the
Series E Preferred. Since the Series E Preferred is conditionally redeemable
after the redemption date, the Company has classified this instrument as a
component between liabilities and stockholders' equity (deficit) on the

future projections, that it is more likely than not that future taxable income
will be insufficient to utilize its deferred tax assets. As a result of this
determination, the Company does not record any deferred tax benefit related to
its taxable
F-27
losses and recorded increases in the valuation allowances of $6.6
million, $3.0 million and $9.4 million in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively to
offset the Company's net deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had federal and state net
operating loss carryforwards of $87.9 million and $56.5 million respectively,
beginning expiration in 2021 and 2005, respectively.

Stock Incentive Plans
The Company's shareholders reserved 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock
under the Company's Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, which
authorized the issuance of various stock incentives to directors, officers,
employees and consultants including options, stock appreciation rights and
purchase rights. On December 31, 2001, the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan expired
(although any option granted thereunder remains exercisable in accordance with
the individual award agreement) and in May 2001, the Company's shareholders
adopted the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The 2001 Stock Incentive
Plan reserves 2.5 million shares of Common Stock, expires on December 31, 2010
and also authorizes stock appreciation rights and purchase rights.
Options allow for the purchase of Common Stock at prices determined by
the Company's Compensation Committee. Incentive stock options must be granted at
a price equal to or greater than the fair value of a share of Common Stock on
the date the option is granted. Non-statutory options must have an exercise
price equal to at least 85% of the fair value of the Company's Common Stock at
the date of grant. Options granted under the Plans may, at the election of the
Compensation Committee, become exercisable in installments. Except for options
granted to the Company's former Co-Chief Executive Officer D. Michael Talla,
which expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, all options expire on
the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

related option is canceled. At December 31, 2005, no SAR's had been granted.
Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock to be offered for direct sale
under the Plan must be at a purchase price equal to not less than 85% of the
fair value of the shares on the day preceding the date of grant. Purchase rights
are generally exercisable for a period of thirty days following the date of
grant. At December 31, 2005, no purchase rights had been granted.

In July 1994, the Company instituted its 1994 Stock Compensation Plan
(that was amended by the Company's shareholders in July 1999) for the purpose of
compensating outside directors by issuing them shares of the Company's Common
Stock as part of their directors' fees. A total of 50,000 shares were reserved
for issuance pursuant to this plan and a total of 50,000 shares have been issued
to outside directors under the plan. During the years ended December 31, 2003,
2004 and 2005, the Company issued 6,000, zero and zero shares of Common Stock as
director compensation for aggregate consideration of $12,000, zero and zero,
respectively.
401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan and is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA"). The Plan provides for the Company to make a discretionary employer
matching contribution currently equal to 33% of the first 8% of each eligible
participating employees' wages. The employer matching contribution can be made
in cash or Company stock, at the Company's discretion. Employer matching
contributions totaling $256,000, $316,000 and $336,000 were made for the Plan
years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The matches for the
Plan years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 were made in the form of Common
Stock. The match for the Plan year ended December 31, 2005 was made in cash. The
employer contribution vests pro-rata over four years. In order to participate in
the Plan, employees must have been employed by the Company for at least one year
and must have worked at least 1,000 hours during that one year period. In order
to receive an employer matching contribution the participant must be actively
employed by the Company on December 31st and must have worked a minimum of 1,000
hours for the applicable Plan year.
13. Related Party Transactions
Millennium is a significant shareholder of the Company and has jointly
developed Clubs with the Company. A representative of Millennium is on the
Company's Board of Directors. Millennium is a partner in the Reebok Sports
Club/NY partnership as well as the landlord of the building in which the Reebok
Sports Club/NY is located. The Reebok Sports Club/NY pays rent to Millennium in
the amount of $2.0 million per year and the partnership agreement provides for a
first priority annual distribution of $3.0 million to Millennium. The Company is
entitled to certain additional priority distributions and 60% of the remaining
cash flow. Millennium is entitled to 20% of such remaining cash flows.
The Company pays rent to Millennium for The Sports Club/LA - Washington
D.C., The Sports Club/LA - Boston and The Sports Club/LA - San Francisco and in
2003, 2004 and 2005 a total of $9.5 million per year was paid to Millennium for
rent on these three Clubs. All such payments are reflected as rent expense
(discontinued operations) in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations. In connection with the development of these Clubs, Millennium
provided the Company with allowances of $45.0 million. These funds were used to
complete construction of the Company's leasehold improvements. After the Company
receives a management fee equal to 6% of all revenues, an amount equal to its
capital investment in the Boston and Washington D.C. Clubs and a 11% annual
return on the capital investment and an amount equal to its operating investment
in the Club and a 10% annual return on the operating
F-30
investment, Millennium is entitled to receive a percentage of all additional
cash flows from each Club as additional rent. Millennium's percentage of the
excess cash flow, as defined, is 25% for the Washington and Boston Clubs and 60%
for the San Francisco Club. Millennium has not received any payments to date
under these provisions.
On November 24, 2003, the Company opened The Sports Club/LA - Miami as
part of the exclusive new Four Seasons Hotel and Tower in Miami, Florida. The
Company operates this 40,000 square foot Club pursuant to a management agreement
with Millennium, the developer of the project. The Company receives a fee of 6%
of gross revenues and a participation in the Club's net cash flow. For the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, management fees of $131,000, $305,000
and $367,000 were earned by the Company. The Company was also reimbursed
$2,382,000, $5,024,000 and $5,998,000 for costs it incurred related to the
operation of The Sports Club/LA - Miami for the years ended December 31, 2003,
2004 and 2005, respectively.
On January 13, 2006, the Company sold five of its nine sports and
fitness Clubs to Millennium Entertainment for $80.0 million. The Clubs sold
include the Company's interest in Reebok Sports Club/NY and The Sports Club/LA
in Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco and the Upper East Side in New York.
The Company's management agreement covering the Club in Miami was also
terminated. The Company received $50.0 million in cash upon closing the sale
(before transaction related costs of $3.0 million) and received two Notes from
Millennium. The first Note of $22.2 million was due and was collected on January
31, 2006. The Second Note of $7.8 million is due in 2013 and is secured by a
pledge of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock owned by Millennium. The
Note is also guaranteed by an affiliate of Millennium. The net proceeds from the
sale exceeded the carrying value of the net assets sold by approximately $25.0
million. Concurrent with the asset sale, the Company entered into several
ancillary agreements with Millennium. These agreements provide Millennium rights
to use certain Proprietary Information and Trademarks in connection with their
operations of the acquired Clubs. The Compnay also entered into a short-term
Transitional Services Agreement with Millennium to assist them in certain areas
to ensure an orderly transition in the operation of the Clubs. Millennium, as
the owner of these Clubs, remains responsible for general management of each
Club.
The Company has a 50.1% interest in the partnership that owns The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles, and the Company's Chairman beneficially owns the
remaining 49.9%. The Company includes The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles in its
consolidated financial statements. The partnership agreement provides that, on
an annual basis, the partners will share in the first $300,000 of the Club's net
cash flow in proportion to their percentage interests. The next $35.0 million of
annual net cash flow will be distributed to the Company. All distributions of
net cash flow thereafter, if any, will be made to the partners in proportion to
their percentage interests. The Company has the option to redeem the preferred
partnership interest in the partnership held by the Company's Chairman. The
option expires as of December 31, 2008. The preferred partnership interest is
carried at its redemption amount, which is $600,000 at December 31, 2004 and
2005 and has been classified as minority interest in the liability section on
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of May 4, 2001, the Company entered into a ten-year sublease for
space located within The Sports Club/LA - New York on the Upper East Side. The
sublease provides for two five-year renewal options and one seven-year renewal
option; an initial monthly rent of $125,000, and rental increases of 10% at the
end of each five-year period. The subtenant for this lease is Club at 60th
Street, Inc., a New York corporation owned by Mr. Talla.
In September 1999, the Company sold the property on which the Spectrum
Club - Thousand Oaks is located for a sales price of $12.0 million. The Company
entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for the property under a long-term
lease with an initial annual base rent of $1.3 million. The Thousand Oaks
property consists of the Spectrum Club - Thousand Oaks, a SportsMed facility,
unimproved office space, and a parking ramp. The Company is currently subleasing
the Spectrum Club and SportsMed spaces to other operators. Mr. Licklider owns an

thirty consecutive trading days exceeds $6.00 per share and at least 150,000

credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), Messrs. Talla and Licklider and MDP
Ventures II, LLC, an affiliate of Millennium, entered into agreements with the
Company as of July 3, 2001, pursuant to which the Company was obligated to pay a
1% annual commitment fee to each of the guarantors. In addition to the committee
fee, the Company was obligated to pay to each guarantor a usage fee equal to 2%
per annum of such guarantor's pro rata portion of any amounts advanced to the
Company by the Bank. At the Company's discretion all earned commitment fees and
usage fees under the agreements were paid in restricted shares of Common Stock
with each guarantor receiving in the aggregate 86,392 shares. In June 2003, the
Company replaced the Credit Facility and all payment obligations due the
guarantors have been met.
F-32
Upon termination of the Credit Facility, the Company entered into a new
promissory note with another financial institution. The new note was for $20.0
million (the "Loan") and is guaranteed by Messrs. Talla and Licklider. Messrs.
Talla and Licklider entered into agreements with the Company as of December 1,
2003, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly fee to each
guarantor equal to 1.5% per annum of the average outstanding principal balance

fees may be paid in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. The Company,
Millennium and Kayne Anderson have agreed to indemnify Messrs. Licklider and
Talla under certain circumstances for losses under their guarantee.
14. Concentration of Credit Risk
As of December 31, 2005, the Company markets its products principally
to customers in Southern California, New York City, Washington D.C., Boston and
San Francisco. In January 2006, the Company sold five of its Clubs (see Note 5

the Boston, Washington D.C. and San Francisco regions. Management performs
regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their
obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based upon these
evaluations. The Company's credit losses for the periods presented are
insignificant and have not exceeded managements' estimates.
15. Quarterly Summary of Information (Unaudited)

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. All internal control systems are designed based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect all
misstatements. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and
Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This evaluation included a review of the steps
management undertook in an effort to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in its Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. In
light of certain material weaknesses in our controls and procedures described
below, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of such period, these
deficiencies have caused our disclosure controls and procedures not to be
effective to enable us to record, process, summarize, and report information
required to be included in our SEC filings within the required time period, and
to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. As described below, we are taking steps to remediate the
deficiencies in our control over the financial reporting process.
In performing its audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, Stonefield Josephson, Inc.
("Stonefield") noted a matter involving our internal controls that it considered
to be a "reportable condition." A "reportable condition," which may or may not
be deemed a material weakness, involves matters relating to significant
deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that, in the
auditor's judgment, could adversely affect our ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management
in the financial statements.
The reportable condition that Stonefield considered to be a material
weakness was that the Company was unable to process its financial information
and present financial statements within a timely fashion. Stonefield's
observation was summarized in its letters dated September 30, 2005 and May 5,
2006 to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
In December 2004, the Company received a comment letter relating to the
Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004 from the staff of the SEC. One of the issues
dealt with accounting for initiation fees under the provision of Emerging Issues
Task Force ("EITF") No. 00-21. The eventual resolution of this issue contributed
to the untimely filing of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and quarterly periods ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.
The Audit Committee has authorized and directed management to devise
and implement actions to address this deficiency and to enhance the reliability
and effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting
and to provide reasonable assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures
30
allow for the accurate presentation and timely filing of our financial
statements. The Company's accounting personnel have reviewed their reporting and
certification obligations under the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of
2002, and have consulted with the Company's outside counsel with respect to
those obligations. We have assigned a high priority to both the short-term and
long-term strengthening of these controls and have identified certain additional
measures, which we believe will address the conditions identified by our
auditors as a material weakness, including the following:
o engaging an accounting or financial consulting firm (other than the
Company's independent auditor) to consult with the Company on accounting issues,
including the interpretation of new accounting rules and releases promulgated by
the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other organizations, and
the application of accounting principles to new transactions in which the
Company engages;
o reviewing the new FASB, EITF, SOP and other accounting rules and
pronouncements. The review will assess each new rule or pronouncement; whether
or not it amends or modifies an existing rule or pronouncement; its
applicability to the Company or any transactions in which the Company has
engaged, or proposes to engage; and the appropriate accounting ramifications of
the new rule or pronouncement;
o subscribing to selected professional publications that discuss new
accounting rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies, and sending
our senior accounting personnel to seminars and other presentations which focus
on new accounting and financial disclosure rules and pronouncements; and
o establishing an internal audit procedure to ensure that transactional
recording, transactional review and adherence to applicable accounting policies
and principles are observed.
Management believes that the foregoing measures will address the
condition identified as material weaknesses by Stonefield. We will continue to
monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and are
committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or
improvements, as necessary. We believe that these measures are reasonably likely
to have a material impact on both our internal controls over financial reporting
and disclosure controls and procedures in future periods.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the following changes
occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting (as those
terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its
internal controls over financial reporting:
o the Company has worked with an accounting firm (other than Company's
independent auditor) to consult with on accounting issues;
o the Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements to determine
the applicability to the Company;
o the Company has subscribed to professional publications that discuss
new accounting rules and regulations;
o members of Company's accounting management attended financial related
seminars.

Rex A. Licklider ("Licklider"), Millennium and Kayne Anderson Capital
Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates ("Kayne") own Common Stock and various series
of voting Convertible Preferred Stock, which in the aggregate, constitute 66.3%
of the voting power of the Company. In connection with their purchase of the
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock on March 12, 2004, Licklider, Millennium
and Kayne entered into an Investors' Rights Agreement with us, which affords
each of them certain consent rights with respect to the operation of our
business. In addition, the Investors' Rights Agreement affords each of Licklider
and Kayne the right to designate one director and affords Millennium the right
to designate two directors, one of whom must be an independent director, in each
case so long as certain specified Common Stock ownership thresholds are
maintained. As a result of the provisions of the Investors' Rights Agreement,
Licklider, Millennium and Kayne as a group hold over 50% of the voting power of
the Company.
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that a public company
maintain a permanent independent audit committee. The Board has established an
Audit Committee of only non-employee directors who meet the independence,
experience, and financial expertise requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Messrs. Vasilakos (Chairman), Turner and Norris currently serve as
Audit Committee Members. Mr. Vasilakos satisfies the financial expertise
requirement. The Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight
responsibilities, and its primary obligations fall into these broad categories;
(i) monitor the integrity of our financial statements and reporting processes
and systems of internal controls relating to financial disclosure, (ii) monitor
our compliance with, and effectiveness of, our legal, regulatory and ethical
programs, (iii) appoint, monitor and appraise the independence and performance
of the outside accounting firm and (iv) provide an avenue of communication among
the independent auditor, management and our Board of Directors.
The Board has created two other permanent committees: Compensation and
Nominating and Governance. The Compensation Committee, composed of Messrs.
Turner, Vasilakos and Norris recommends compensation for key-employees, oversees
the management bonus program and administers our stock incentive plans. The
Nominating and Governance Committee, composed of Messrs. Norris, Vasilakos and
Turner, reviews our compliance with our governance policies and procedures.
In August of 2002, the Board approved certain cash compensation to be
paid to non-employee directors. Because of the declared Controlled Company
status, in April 2004 the Board modified the plan so that only independent
directors were eligible for cash compensation. This action in effect results in
Mr. Jeffries, a principal of Millennium, not receiving any cash award. Our
independent directors (currently, Messrs. Ferraro, Norris, Turner and Vasilakos)
will be paid the following compensation: (i) an annual directorship retainer of
$12,000, (ii) an annual committee chair retainer of $4,000, (iii) $1,000 for
each Board and committee meeting attended and (iv) an annual option award of
2,000 shares under our 2001 Incentive Stock Plan. All directors are entitled to
reimbursement of expenses for attending meetings.
Additionally, in September 2004, the Board reconvened a special
committee and in recognition of the added responsibilities and demands of the
work to be performed by this committee, its members will receive additional
compensation of: (i) $1,000 for each meeting of the special committee attended
in person, (ii) $500 for each telephonic meeting, and (iii) $1,000 for each day
committee members devote a material portion of their business day to the affairs
of the committee. Messrs. Turner and Vasilakos serve on this committee.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 our
directors, executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of our
Common Stock (who we refer to as "Reporting Persons") are required to report
their initial ownership and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Such Reporting Persons are also required to
furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Specific due dates
for these reports have been established and we are required to identify all
Reporting Persons who failed to timely file these reports.
34
To our knowledge, based solely on review of copies of such reports
furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required,
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, all the Reporting Persons
complied with applicable filing requirements, except:
Code of Ethics
On July 23, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a written code of
ethics that applies to our principal executive officers, principal financial
officer, principal accounting officer and other persons performing similar
functions. This code of standards fulfills the requirements recently imposed by
the Securities and Exchange Commission and covers such topics as conflict of
interest, confidentiality, compliance with legal requirements and other business
ethics subjects. Also, on July 23, 2004, the Board adopted a Code of Business
Conduct for its members. This code of conduct seeks to guide our Board members
in (i) recognizing and dealing with ethical issues, (ii) fulfilling their
fiduciary and oversight responsibilities and (iii) establishing and maintaining
mechanisms for reporting by our employees of unethical conduct. Any person may
obtain without charge copies of these codes by writing to us, Attn: Corporate
Secretary, 11151 Missouri Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025. We will promptly
disclose through appropriate filings with the SEC (i) the nature of any
amendment to these codes and (ii) the nature of any waiver, including an
implicit waiver, from a provision of our codes that is granted, the name of such
person who is granted the waiver and the date of the waiver. We presently rely
on the written policies in our Employee Handbook, as well as informal policies
and procedures, our directors' awareness of their fiduciary duties and our
employees' understanding of their responsibilities to the Company and our
shareholders to fulfill our duties as a public company. These policies may not
adequately protect us from all conflict of interest situations; therefore, it is
our intention in addition to the code of financial conduct and the code of
business conduct to also adopt: (i) corporate governance principles that will
establish oversight responsibilities for the conduct of our business and (ii) a
code of standards that will expand our current Employee Handbook and define how
all employees and directors will act in areas of professional conduct.
To demonstrate our commitment to operating fairly and ethically, we
currently require that each employee acknowledge receipt of our Employee
Handbook, which sets forth, among other things, our professional standards
requiring proper business conduct and confidentiality of proprietary
information. We have also contracted with an independent outside hotline
reporting service to provide for an anonymous avenue for the reporting of
individual's concerns relating to our financial reporting.

the beneficial owner of the shares. Mr. Norris is also deemed to
beneficially hold these shares because of his affiliation with Kayne
Anderson. Mr. Norris' ownership has therefore been reflected (1) next to

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From time to time we have entered into transactions with our officers,
directors and stockholders. We believe that each of the following transactions
have been on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from
unaffiliated third parties. All transactions between us and any of our directors
or officers are subject to the approval of the disinterested directors.
Millennium. Millennium is a partner in the Reebok-Sports Club/NY
partnership as well as the landlord of the building in which Reebok Sports
Club/NY is located. Reebok-Sports Club/NY partnership pays rent to Millennium in
the amount of $2.0 million per year, and the partnership agreement provides for
a first priority annual distribution of $3.0 million to Millennium. We are
entitled to certain additional priority distributions and 60% of the remaining
cash flow. Millennium's partnership interest entitles them to 20% of such
remaining cash flow.
In June 1997, we issued to Millennium 2,105,263 shares of our Common
Stock in exchange for $10.0 million. In December 1997, we sold 625,000 shares of
Common Stock to Millennium for $5.0 million. We also granted to Millennium
certain registration and preemptive rights regarding its shares.
We have entered into leases with Millennium relating to The Sports
Club/LA - San Francisco, The Sports Club/LA - Washington, D.C. and The Sports
Club/LA - Boston. In connection with the development of these Clubs, Millennium
provided us with allowances of $45.0 million. These funds were used to complete
construction of our leasehold improvements. After we receive a management fee
equal to 6% of all revenues, an amount equal to our capital investment in the
Boston and Washington D.C. Clubs and an 11% annual return on the capital
investment and an amount equal to our operating investment in the Clubs and a
10% annual return on the operating investment, Millennium is entitled to receive
a percentage of all additional cash flows from each Club as additional rent.
Millennium's percentage of the excess cash flow, as defined, previously was 20%
for each of these Clubs. Under the amended lease agreements, their percentage
increases to 25% for the Washington and Boston Clubs and 60% for the San
Francisco Club. Millennium has not received any payments to date under these
provisions.
On November 24, 2003, we opened The Sports Club/LA - Miami as part of
the exclusive new Four Seasons Hotel and Tower in Miami, Florida. We operate
this 40,000 square foot Club pursuant to a management agreement with Millennium,
the developer of the project. We received a fee of 6% of gross revenues until
the agreement was terminated in January 2006..
On January 13, 2006 we sold five of our nine sports and fitness Clubs
to Millennium for $80.0 million. The Clubs sold include our interest in Reebok
Sports Club/NY, and The Sports Club/LA in Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco
and the Upper East Side in New York. Upon the sale of these Clubs in January
2006, we were released from any further obligations under the Clubs' facility
leases. Our management agreement covering the Club in Miami was also terminated.
We received $50.0 million in cash upon closing the sale (before transaction
related costs of $3.0 million) and received two Notes from Millennium. The first
Note of $22.2 million was due and was collected on January 31, 2006. The second
Note of $7.8 million is due in 2013 and is secured by a pledge of the Series C
and Series D Preferred Stock owned by Millennium. The Note is also guaranteed by
an affiliate of Millennium. The net proceeds from the sale exceeded the carrying
value of the net assets sold by approximately $25.0 million. Concurrent with the
asset sale, we entered into several ancillary agreements with Millennium. These
agreements provide Millennium rights to use certain Proprietary Information and
Trademarks in connection with their operations of the acquired Clubs. We also
entered into a short-term Transitional Services Agreement with Millennium to
assist them in certain areas to ensure an orderly transition in the operations
of the Clubs. Millennium, as the owner of these Clubs, remains responsible for
general management of each Club.
Mr. Talla. We have a 50.1% interest in the partnership that owns The
Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles and Mr. Talla beneficially owns the remaining
49.9%. The partnership agreement provides that, on an annual basis, the partners
will share in the first $300,000 of the Club's net cash flow in proportion to
their
41
percentage interests. The next $35.0 million of annual net cash flow will
be distributed to us. All distributions of net cash flow thereafter, if any,
will be made to the partners in proportion to their percentage interests. The
Company has the option to redeem the preferred partnership interest in the
partnership held by Mr. Talla. The option expires as of December 31, 2008. The
preferred partnership interest is carried at its redemption amount, which is
$600,000 at December 31, 2005.
As of May 4, 2001, we entered into a ten-year sublease for space
located in the building in which The Sports Club/LA - Upper East Side is
located. The sublease provides for two five-year renewal options and one
seven-year renewal option, an initial monthly rent of $125,000, and rental
increases of 10% at the end of each five-year period. The subtenant for this
lease is Club at 60th Street, Inc., a New York corporation owned by Mr. Talla.
Upon the sale of this Club in January 2006, our rights under the sublease were
acquired by Millennium.
Messrs. Talla and Licklider. In September 1999, we sold the property on
which the Spectrum Club - Thousand Oaks is located for a sales price of $12.0
million. We entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for the property under a
long-term lease with an initial annual base rent of $1.3 million. The Thousand
Oaks property consists of the Spectrum Club - Thousand Oaks, a SportsMed
facility, unimproved office space, and a parking ramp. We are currently
subleasing the Spectrum Club and SportsMed space to other operators. Mr.
Licklider owns an approximate 4.6% interest in the purchaser of the property,
and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Talla's minor children own an approximately
5.2% interest in the purchaser of the property.
In June 2003, we entered into a new promissory note secured by The
Sports Club/LA - Orange County. The mortgage note was originally for $20.0
million (the "Loan") and is guaranteed by Messrs. Talla and Licklider. Messrs.
Talla and Licklider entered into agreements with us as of December 1, 2003,
pursuant to which we are obligated to pay a quarterly fee to each guarantor
equal to 1.5% per annum of the average outstanding principal balance of the
Loan. At our discretion, such fees may be paid in Common Stock, cash or a
combination thereof. Since January 2004, we have made all such fee payments in
shares of our Common Stock funded totally out of Treasury Shares. Each guarantor
has received in the aggregate 205,725 shares, representing payment of their pro
rated portion through the third quarter of 2004. We may issue additional shares
of Common Stock to the guarantors in lieu of cash settlement of fees owed
pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
In January 2006, we financed The Sports Club/LA - Los Angeles under a
$60.0 million loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. Messrs. Talla and
Licklider executed limited guarantees under which the lender has recourse to
them in certain circumstances. In exchange for their guarantees, we agreed to
pay a fee to each guarantor equal to .75% per annum of the average outstanding
principal balance of the loan. At our discretion, such fees may be paid in
Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. The Company, Millennium and Kayne
Anderson have agreed to indemnify Messrs. Licklider and Talla under certain
circumstances for losses under their guarantee.
Kayne Anderson. On March 18, 2002, we sold an aggregate of 10,500
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Kayne Anderson Capital
Advisors and four affiliates thereof for aggregate proceeds of $10.5 million.
The shares of Series B Preferred may, at the option of the holder, be converted
into shares of our Common Stock at a rate of $2.8871 per share; entitle each
holder to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series B
Preferred could then be converted; and provide for the payment of dividends at
an annual rate of $90.00 per share. Dividends are cumulative, do not accrue
interest and, at our discretion, may be paid in additional shares of Series B
Preferred.
Messrs. Talla and Licklider and Millennium. In consideration of
executing a guaranty in favor of Comerica-Bank - California (the "Bank") in
connection with the Bank's renewal of our $15.0 million credit facility (the
"Credit Facility"), Messrs. Talla and Licklider and MDP Ventures II, LLC, an
affiliate of Millennium, entered into agreements with us as of July 3, 2001,
pursuant to which we were obligated to pay an 1% percent annual commitment fee
to each of the guarantors. In addition to the commitment fee, we were obligated
to pay to each guarantor a usage fee equal to 2% per annum of such guarantor's
pro rata portion of any amounts advanced to us by the Bank. At our discretion
all earned commitment fees and usage fees under the agreements were paid in
restricted shares of Common Stock with each guarantor
42
receiving in the aggregate 86,392 shares. In June 2003, we replaced the Credit
Facility and, as of February 15, 2004, all payment obligations due the
guarantors have been met.
On September 6, 2002, we sold an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock to three of our major shareholders, D. Michael
Talla, Rex Licklider and MDP Ventures II, LLC, an affiliate of Millennium, for
aggregate proceeds of $5.0 million. The shares of Series C Preferred may, at the
option of the holder, be converted into shares of our Common Stock at a rate of
$2.8871 per share; entitle each holder to one vote for each share of Common
Stock into which such Series C Preferred could then be converted; and provide
for the payment of dividends at an annual rate of $90.00 per share. Dividends
are cumulative, do not accrue interest and, at our discretion, may be paid in
additional shares of Series C Preferred.
Mr. Licklider , Millennium and Kayne Anderson. On March 12, 2004, we
sold an aggregate of 65,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to
these three shareholders for aggregate proceeds of $6.5 million. The shares of
Series D Preferred may, at the option of the holders, be converted into shares
of our Common Stock at a rate of $2.00 per share; entitle each holder to one
vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred could
then be converted; and provide for the payment of dividends at an annual rate of
$9.00 per share. Dividends are cumulative, do not accrue interest and, at our
discretion, may be paid in additional shares of Series D Preferred. Each share
of Series D Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common
Stock upon the consummation of a qualified secondary stock offering of at least
$50.0 million or if the closing price of our Common Stock for a period of thirty
consecutive trading days $6.00 per share and at least 150,000 shares of Common
Stock have been traded during such applicable thirty day period. As part of the
sale of the Series D Preferred, we agreed that for so long as certain specified
Common Stock ownership is maintained, Mr. Licklider and Kayne Anderson each have
the right to designate one director and Millennium has the right to designate
two directors, one of whom must be independent. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr.
Licklider is currently serving as the designee of Mr. Licklider; Mr. Norris is
currently serving as the designee of Kayne Anderson and Messrs. Jeffries and
Ferraro (an independent board member) are currently serving as Millennium's
designees.
Messers Talla and Licklider and Kayne Anderson. On September 14, 2004,
we sold an aggregate of 20,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to three of
our major shareholders, D. Michael Talla, Rex Licklider and several affiliates
of Kayne Anderson for aggregate proceeds of $2.0 million. The shares of Series E
Preferred Stock earn dividends at the rate of $11.375 per share. Dividends are
cumulative, do not accrue interest and at our option may be paid in additional
shares of Series E Preferred Stock. At any time after May 31, 2006, provided we
are legally able to do so, (i) we may redeem all or part of the Series E
Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price of $100 per share, together with
all accrued but unpaid dividends or (ii) the holders of at least 50% of the
Series E Preferred Stock may demand us to redeem all the shares of Series E
Preferred Stock by paying the redemption price.

other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and is
detailed as to the particular service or category of services. The Audit
