THE SPORTS CLUB COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005
1. Basis of Presentation
A review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein was not completed by the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm prior to the deadline for filing this Form
10-Q, as required by Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Companys December 31, 2004, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File Number 1-13290). Certain information and
footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to SEC rules and regulations for interim financial statements. The Company believes that
the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
information reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods set forth
herein. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 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 the disposal transactions. On February
8, 2005, the Company entered into a formal letter of intent to sell six of its nine sports and
fitness Clubs (see Note. 5). The proceeds of $65.0 million from the proposed sale are required to
be used to repay a portion of the $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes. Accordingly the Company
has allocated to discontinued operations 65.0% of the interest associated with the Senior Secured
Notes. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, the amount of
interest allocated to discontinued operations was $2,011,000 and $4,023,000, respectively.
2. Reclassification
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
governs the Companys accounting for lease transactions. During the first quarter of 2005, the
Company determined that it was not properly accounting for leasehold improvements that were funded
by landlord allowances. SFAS No. 13 requires that such improvements be recognized as assets and
amortized over the term of the lease and that the landlord allowance incentive should be recorded
as deferred rent and recognized, also over the term of the lease, as a reduction of rent expense.
Previously the Company netted the deferred rent against the leasehold improvements. The 2004
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.
4
The Company has reclassified its June 30, 2004 balance sheet to record $67.4 million of
landlord allowance incentives as additional leasehold improvements, record an additional $7.9
million of accumulated amortization related to those leasehold improvement additions and record
deferred lease obligations of $59.5 million. At June 30, 2004, $59.0 million of the additional net
leasehold improvements and additional deferred lease obligations relate to assets and liabilities
now held for sale and, accordingly, are reported in those captions on the reclassified June 30,
2004 balance sheet.
The consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2004, have also been reclassified to increase depreciation and amortization expense by $598,000 and
$1,195,000, respectively, and to decrease rent expense by the same amount for each period. In the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, $580,000 and $1,160,000, respectively, of the
change in depreciation expense and rent expense relates to discontinued operations and therefore is
reported in those captions. There has been no change to net income (loss) as a result of this
reclassification.
Certain reclassifications have also been made to the 2004 consolidated financial statements to
reflect various assets and liabilities now held for sale and to report the results of operations
associated with those assets as discontinued operations (See Note 5). The consolidated statements
of operations have also been reformatted to breakout product and services revenues and expenses.
The Company has also restated its June 30, 2004 operating statement to more properly account
for initiation fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized a portion
of its membership initiation fees as private training revenue since members were granted the
opportunity to utilize private training at no charge. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company
determined it was more appropriate to record this revenue as initiation fees and amortize it over
the estimated membership life. Accordingly, the operating statements for the periods ended June
30, 2004 have been restated.
A reclassified consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2004, reflecting the above reclassifications is presented below. The amounts are in
thousands, except per share amounts:

3. Accounting for 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 and income per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS
No. 123), had been applied. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost for
employees, officers and non-employee directors, has been recognized, as the fair value of the
Companys stock was equal to the exercise price of the options at the date of grant. Had
compensation cost for the Companys plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the
Companys net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and income (loss) per share would
have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:

4. Liquidity/Going Concern
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 (both continuing and discontinuing
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 Company is required to repay its $100.0 million Senior Secured
Notes (See Note 7). 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 Companys
debt obligations raise doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
8
The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to satisfy the interest and
principal obligation of its Senior Secured Notes. The Companys March 15, 2005 and September 15,
2005 interest payments were made using cash balances on hand. In order to satisfy the $105.6
million principal and interest payment due on March 15, 2006, the Company will be required to
either issue new equity securities, refinance all or a portion of the Senior Secured Notes, or sell
certain assets.
In order to generate funds for the March 2006 payment, the Company entered into a letter of
intent on February 8, 2005 to sell six of its nine sports and fitness Clubs for $65.0 million. The
Company continues to negotiate this transaction and believes that it is probable that the
transaction will be completed, however, no assurance can be given that the transaction will be
completed. Proceeds from this transaction would be used to reduce the Senior Secured Notes. In
addition, the Company is also seeking to refinance its West Los Angeles property to generate funds
to retire the remainder of the Senior Secured Notes.
In addition, the Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to
increase membership levels at its most recently opened Clubs. Six Clubs were opened between 2000
and 2003. 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 current membership fees and other ancillary revenues.
Increasing membership levels at these six most recently opened Clubs is the key to producing
operating profits and positive cash flows from operating activities. The Company is constantly
generating programs to market the Clubs to potential new members as well as striving to reduce its
membership attrition rates.
If the Company is unable to sell certain of its assets and/or refinance the West Los Angeles
property it would be required to issue additional equity securities. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to sell assets or raise capital by offering additional equity
securities. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
5. 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 complexes to an affiliate of Millennium for $65.0 million. Millennium
is the Companys largest stockholder and is the landlord at four of these Clubs. The Clubs to be
sold include three facilities located in New York City, and single Clubs in Boston, Massachusetts,
Washington D.C. and San Francisco, California. In addition, the management agreement for the Club
in Miami, Florida will be assigned to Millennium. Based on the following (i) the Company has $100
million of term loans which are due in March 2006, (ii) Millennium is the landlord at four of the
Clubs which are part of this transaction and they are the owner of the Club in Miami and therefore
have an interest in these Clubs and (iii) Millennium has representation of the Board of Directors
and have access to the financial information relating to these Clubs, the Company concluded that,
as of December 31, 2004, the sale was probable and is expected to occur prior to December 31, 2005.
On February 8, 2005, the Company entered into a formal letter of intent with Millennium.
Accordingly, the Company reported the assets of the Clubs as held for sale, the
9
liabilities as liabilities relating to assets held for sale and operations of the Clubs as
discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144.
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 Cub/LA Clubs in Los Angeles and Orange County. The Company recorded a provision of $527,000
for the loss on the sale of these SportsMed assets in the third quarter of 2004.
The operating results of the six Clubs to be sold and SportsMed facilities have been
classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements 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 11⅜% 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 Companys 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 June 30,
2005, restrict the Companys 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 Companys
ability to: (i) enter into transactions with affiliates, (ii) create liens on or
sell certain assets, and (iii) enter into mergers and consolidations. The
Senior Secured Notes may be repaid at any time at par. |
The Company has classified $65.0 million of the Senior Secured Notes as a
current liability as of December 31, 2004 because the Company expects to complete
a transaction to sell six of its Clubs for $65.0 million (See Note 5) before
December 31, 2005 and the Indenture requires that the proceeds from that
transaction retire a portion of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes. If for any
reason the Company were to be in default under any covenants or requirements of
the Indenture, the remaining $35.0 million would need to be reclassified from
long-term debt to current debt.
If the Company undergoes a change in control, as defined in the Indenture,
it must give holders of the Senior Secured Notes the opportunity to sell their
Senior Secured Notes to the Company at 101% of their face amount, plus interest.
At December 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the Senior Secured Notes was
$94.0 million.
The Company did not file its 2004 annual report on Form 10-K or its March
31, 2005 and June 30, 2005 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on a timely basis and therefore violated one of the
provisions of the Indenture Agreement. The trustee for the bondholders granted a
waiver of this provision to the Company and extended the allowable filing date to
September 30, 2005 in exchange for a $250,000 consent fee.

(b) On June 12, 2003, the Company obtained mortgage 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., the Companys
wholly owned subsidiary that owns The Sports Club/LA Orange County; and is
guaranteed by the Companys Chairman and its Chief Executive Officer. 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 June 30, 2005, the Company has
maintained the minimum operating income. The note may be prepaid at any time
without penalty or premium and requires a final principal payment of $18.3
million on July 1, 2008. |
|
|
|
(c) The equipment financing loans are secured by furniture, fixtures and
equipment. The amounts are generally repayable in monthly payments over four or
five years with effective interest rates between 7.12% and 13.1%. |
8. Non-recurring Items
The non-recurring charge of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 represents
various costs, primarily legal fees and investment banking fees, related to an equity raising
transaction that was initiated in April 2003 but abandoned in February 2004.
9. Income Tax Provision
The income tax provision recorded for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2004 and 2005, are accruals for state and city income taxes related to pre-tax profits at Reebok
Sports Club/NY.

12. Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 18, 2002, the Company completed a $10.5 million private placement of a newly created

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

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,

the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, an amount equal to $1,000 for each share of Series B
Preferred then outstanding.

costs of $393,000, and issued 65,000 shares of $.01 par value Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
(Series D Convertible Preferred), at a price of $100 per share. The Series D Convertible
Preferred was purchased by three of the Companys principal shareholders. 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 Convertible Preferred, Common Stock or any other class of equity
security that is junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred. Dividends are payable when and as
declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are cumulative, but do not accrue interest and

shares of Common Stock at the rate of $2.00 per share. At June 30, 2005, the Series D Preferred,
including accrued dividends of $762,000, was convertible into 3,631,000 shares of Common Stock.
Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred shall automatically be converted into shares of Common
Stock upon the consummation of a qualified public offering of Common Stock 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 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 for Common Stock) at a price per share less than
$2.00. Commencing on the sixth anniversary of the issuance of the Series D Convertible Preferred,
the Company at its option may redeem the Series D Convertible 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 Convertible 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 Convertible Preferred, an amount equal to $100 for each share of Series D Convertible
Preferred then outstanding, plus any earned and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series D
Convertible Preferred are afforded protective rights that among other things restrict the Companys
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 Companys 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
Companys Board of Directors.
The carrying value of the Series D Convertible Preferred is periodically adjusted for any

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 Preferred Stock (Series E Preferred) at a price of $100
per share. The Series E Preferred was purchased by three of the
Companys principal shareholders consisting of Kayne Anderson
Capital Advisors, Rex Licklider and D. Michael Talla.
Dividends accrue at an annual rate of $11.375 per share. Dividends are cumulative, do not accrue
interest and, at the Companys option, may be paid in additional shares of Series E Preferred. The
Series E Preferred is not convertible into shares of the Companys Common Stock and, except as
required by law, does not entitle the holder(s) to vote on matters brought before the Companys
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
$100.00 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.
Dividends are accrued on the Series E Preferred with any unpaid dividends included in accrued
liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
16. 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, whether insured or not, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 condensed 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 the operator of ten sports and fitness Clubs located in major metropolitan markets
across the United States, including one Club operated under a management agreement. Our Clubs are
spacious, modern facilities that typically include spas, restaurants, fitness centers, swimming
pools and basketball courts. Our Clubs, which are usually named The Sports Club/LA, are recognized
as among the finest sports and fitness facilities in the United States. In 1999, we decided to
focus our efforts on the national development of The Sports Club/LA brand. At that time, we sold
all of our smaller sized Clubs. We also issued $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes due in March
2006. The proceeds from these transactions were primarily utilized to develop five additional new
Clubs in New York City, Washington D.C., Boston and San Francisco. We have since opened The Sports
Club/LA in Beverly Hills and in Miami.
Most of our 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 while the other six are considered to be recently opened.
Five of these Clubs were opened between 2000 and 2001 while The Sports Club/LA Beverly Hills was
opened in October 2003. 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. Since 2000, we have invested significant amounts of cash in the construction and
operation of these new Clubs. Our operating performances and our liquidity have been negatively
impacted due to the start up nature of these Clubs and the initial construction cost.
In February 2005, we entered into a letter of intent to sell six of our nine sports and
fitness complexes for $65.0 million. The Clubs to be sold include our three New York facilities
and single Clubs in Boston, Washington D.C. and San Francisco. In addition, the management
agreement for the Club in Miami will be terminated. Following the sale, we will continue to own
and operate our three Southern California Clubs. The operating results from the six Clubs to be
sold and the fees and costs associated with the Miami management
18
agreement have been classified as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying financial
statements and in other parts of this Form 10-Q.
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. 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 a period of
three years, which represents the average life of a membership based upon historical data for all
Clubs. 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 represent
37.6% 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 Clubs 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
of 24.05% is well below the normal 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 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
19
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 individual Club based on each individuals Clubs respective average membership life.
Such average lives range from two and a half years to five years. 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.
Lease
Accounting. We record 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 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.
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
or a group of Clubs located in the same geographical area. 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, 2004 or June 30, 2005.
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. In January 2002, we
adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and as a result have ceased to amortize
goodwill. Instead, we were required to perform a transitional impairment review of our goodwill as
of January 1, 2002. We performed the transitional impairment test and determined that goodwill was
impaired as of January 1, 2002 by $5,134,000. We are also required to evaluate goodwill on an
annual basis or when events require us to reevaluate our goodwill. We performed the analysis, as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 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.

Results of Operations
Several reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 as discussed in Note 2 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements. The following discussion that compares our results of
operations of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 to June 30, 204 is after
consideration of such reclassifications .
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004.
Our total revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was
$12.1 million, compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $1.2 million
or 9.6%. Revenue increased by $725,000 as a result of membership growth at The Sports
Club/LA-Beverly Hills, which opened on October 7, 2003. Revenue increased by $540,000 at The
Sports Club/LA-Los Angeles and The Sports Club/LA-Orange County as a result of dues increases and
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 $111,000 at our
two SportsMed locations primarily due to decreased patient visits.
Our club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by $191,000 (2.5%) to
$7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, versus $7.5 million for the same period in
2004. Club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by approximately $149,000,
as a result of the increases in variable costs (mostly payroll and payroll related) 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 $95,000 at The Sports Club/LA-Los
Angeles and The Sports Club/LA-Orange County primarily due to increased payroll and payroll related
costs. There was a decrease in cost of products and services of approximately $53,000 at our two
SportsMed facilities.
Our selling and marketing expenses were $247,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005,
versus $350,000 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $103,000 or 29.4%. Selling and
marketing expenses were down at each of our Clubs and in almost every category of expense. We
expect our selling and marketing expenses to be about flat for the year and this quarterly variance
is due to the timing of our direct mail and promotional campaigns.
General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2005, versus $2.1 million for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $151,000 or 7.0%. Payroll and
payroll-related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005, decreased by $120,000, primarily
due to headcount decreases. Outside service fees increased by approximately $118,000 primarily due
to costs incurred as a result of the retention of an investment bank to assist us in evaluating
alternatives to restructure our debt. Rent decreased by $30,000 primarily due to lower rent
negotiated at the west coast corporate office. Other miscellaneous general administrative expenses
decreased by $119,000 mostly as a result of cost cutting measures taken by management to reduce our
general and administrative expenses.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2005, versus $1.1 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $206,000 or 19.2%.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $36,000, 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 increased by $170,000 at the corporate
office facility as a result of the decision to consolidate this leased
21
office space into other facilities. We decreased the amortization period for the corporate office
facility to terminate on the projected move date of December 31, 2005.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $2.0 million of interest
expense to discontinued operations. Our remaining net interest expense was flat at $1.6 million
for both the three months ended June 30, 2005 and three months ended June 30, 2004. A minor
decrease in equipment financing interest costs of $10,000 resulting from the pay down of these
balances accounts for the small net change.
We did not record any federal or state deferred tax benefit related to our consolidated
pre-tax losses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Our income (loss) from discontinued operations was $394,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2005, versus a loss of 2.8 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $3.2 million.
Our income (loss) from discontinued operations increased by $2.5 million because in 2005 we
discontinued depreciation on assets held for sale. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, requires that depreciation
cease on assets once they are classified as held for sale. Income (loss) from discontinued
operations increased by approximately $600,000, as the result of a 2.3% increase in membership and
to increases in dues and ancillary services rates. Our income (loss) from discontinued operations
increased by $103,000 as a result of a decrease in the minority interest expense at The Reebok
Sport Club/NY during the three months ended June 30, 2005 versus the same period in 2004.
After the income (loss) from discontinued operations and dividends on preferred stock of
$495,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and three months ended June 30, 2004, our
consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $948,000, or $0.05 per basic and
diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2005, versus a loss of $5.2 million, or $0.28 per
basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004.
Our total revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was $23.7
million, compared to $21.6 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $2.1 million or
9.8%. Revenue increased by $1.5 million as a result of membership growth at The Sports
Club/LA-Beverly Hills, which opened on October 7, 2003. Revenue increased by $813,000 at The
Sports Club/LA-Los Angeles and The Sports Club/LA-Orange County as a result of dues increases and
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 $241,000 at our
two SportsMed locations primarily due to decreased patient visits.
Our club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by $547,000 (3.7%) to
$15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, versus $14.8 million for the same period in
2004. Club operating costs and cost of products and services increased by approximately $418,000,
as a result of the increases in variable costs (mostly payroll and payroll related) 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 $200,000 at The Sports Club/LA-Los
Angeles and The Sports Club/LA-Orange County primarily due to increased payroll and payroll related
costs. There was a decrease in cost of products and services of approximately $71,000 at our two
SportsMed facilities.
22
Our selling and marketing expenses were $665,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
versus $787,000 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $122,000 or 15.5%. Selling and
marketing expenses were down at each of our Clubs and in almost every category of expense. We
expect our selling and marketing expenses to be about flat for the year and this six-month variance
is due to the timing of our direct mail and promotional campaigns.
Our general and administrative expenses were $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2005, versus $4.1 million for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $88,000 or 2.1%. Payroll and
payroll-related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, decreased by $220,000, primarily
due to headcount decreases. Outside service fees increased by approximately $281,000 primarily due
to costs incurred as a result of the retention of an investment bank to assist us in evaluating
alternatives to restructure our debt. Rent decreased by $26,000 primarily due to lower rent
negotiated at the west coast corporate office. Other miscellaneous general administrative expenses
decreased by $123,000 mostly 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 six months ended June 30, 2004 consisted of expenses
related to The Sports Club/LA-Beverly Hills, which opened on October 7, 2003.
Our depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2005, versus $2.2 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $348,000 or 16.1%.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $60,000, 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 increased by $288,000 at the corporate
office facility as a result of the decision to consolidate this leased office space into other
facilities. We decreased the amortization period for the corporate office facility to terminate on
the projected move date of December 31, 2005.
We recorded a non-recurring charge of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we allocated $4.0 million of interest expense
to discontinued operations. Our remaining net interest expense was flat at $3.3 million for both
the six months ended June 30, 2005 and six months ended June 30, 2004. A minor decrease in
equipment financing interest costs resulting from the pay down of these balances accounted for the
decrease of $17,000 in interest expense for the period.
We did not record any federal or state deferred tax benefit related to our consolidated
pre-tax losses from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Our loss from discontinued operations was $491,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005,
versus $6.2 million for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $5.7 million. Our net loss from
discontinued operations decreased by $4.2 million because we discontinued depreciation on assets
held for sale. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, requires that depreciation cease on assets once they are
classified as held for sale. Our loss from discontinued operations decreased by approximately $1.7
million, as the result of an increase in membership and to increases in dues and ancillary services
rates. Our loss from discontinued operations increased by $228,000 as a result of an increase in
the minority interest expense at The Reebok Sport Club/NY during the six months ended June 30, 2005
versus the same period in 2004.
23
After the loss from discontinued operations and dividends on preferred stock of $988,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $876,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004,
our consolidated net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3.7 million, or $0.19 per basic
and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005, versus a loss of $11.9 million, or $0.64
per basic and diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Historically, we have satisfied our liquidity needs through various debt arrangements, sales
of Common or Preferred Stock and cash from operations. Our primary liquidity needs during the past
several years have been the development of new Clubs and the interest cost associated with our
$100.0 million Senior Secured Notes.
In order to make our March 15, 2004 interest payment on the Senior Secured Notes, we issued
$6.5 million of a newly created class of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. In order to make
our September 15, 2004 interest payment, we issued $2.0 million of a newly created class of Series
E Preferred Stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we generated cash flows from
operations and received $2,500,000 of deposits back as cash. These amounts allowed us to make our
March 15, 2005 and September 15, 2005, interest payments without raising any additional capital.
On March 15, 2006, our entire $100.0 million principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes are
due along with $5.6 million of interest. We do not have the cash to make these payments and
therefore we have decided to sell six of our Clubs for $65.0 million. We believe we will be able
to mortgage our property in West Los Angeles, California and that the proceeds from the asset sale
and financing will be sufficient for us to retire the entire $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes
prior to their maturity date. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
consummate any of these transactions. If we are unable to sell these assets or finance the West
Los Angeles property, we would be required to raise additional capital by issuing equity if the
bondholders are not be willing to extend the due date of the Senior Secured Notes. If those events
would not occur, we would probably default on the principal payment of the Senior Secured Notes and
the holders of the Senior Secured Notes could elect to foreclose on our assets.
If we complete the sale of six clubs and therefore continue to own and operate
three clubs, we will implement a plan to significantly reduce our general and administrative expenses. If we consummate the sale of the six clubs, refinance of our West Los Angeles Club as
described above and reduce general and administrative expenses, we believe that we will be able to
operate the remaining three Clubs without the infusion of additional funds, although there can be
no assurance that we would be able to do so.
Following the sale of the six Clubs, additional funds will be required to undertake any future
acquisitions or the development of additional new Clubs. We would consider entering into joint
ventures, partnership agreements or management agreements (subject to the restrictions and
limitations on such transactions in the Indenture) for the purpose of developing new Clubs, but
only if such arrangements would generate additional cash flow or further enhance The Sports Club/LA
brand name in the market place.

Operating Activities
At June 30, 2005, our cash balance was $8.9 million. During 2004, we generated cash flows
from operating activities; both continuing and discontinued, of $1.7 million. We believe we will
continue to generate positive cash flows in the future. We had various deposits that secured our
performance under several contracts. In the first quarter of 2005, we received back $500,000 of
such deposits and we received $2.0 million back in the third quarter of 2005.
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. Capital expenditures to maintain and
update our Clubs, including costs to complete construction of The Sports Club/LA Beverly Hills
were $4.1 million in 2004. We estimate that expenditures of between 2% and 4% of revenues,
depending on the age of the Club, will be necessary to maintain the quality of the Clubs to our
satisfaction. We also expect to spend approximately $600,000 during the next year to upgrade our
management information systems and enhance our disaster recovery capabilities.
We currently have no other plans for new Club developments that would require our own capital.
In February 2005, we entered into a letter of intent to sell six of our nine Clubs to an
affiliate of Millennium for $65.0 million. Proceeds from this transaction would be used to retire
long-term debt. The letter of intent is nonbinding on the Company and Millennium and is subject to
the execution of a definitive agreement and the satisfaction of a number of conditions.
Accordingly, we can give no assurances that the proposed sale will be completed.
Financing Activities
On April 1, 1999, we issued in a private placement $100.0 million of 11⅜% Senior Secured
Notes (the 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 are secured by substantially all of our assets, other than
certain excluded assets. The Indenture includes certain covenants that restrict our ability 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 our ability to: (i) enter into transactions with affiliates; (ii) create
liens on or sell certain assets; and (iii) enter into mergers and consolidations. The Indenture
requires us to make an offer to retire the Senior Secured Notes if the net proceeds of any asset
sale are not reinvested in assets related to our business, unless the remaining net proceeds are
less than $10.0 million. The Indenture requires us to make semi-annual interest payments of $5.7
million on March 15th and September 15th of each year.
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 new 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
25
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.
Other than our normal operating activities and capital expenditures, our total cash
requirements for our existing operations through June 30, 2006, are estimated to be as follows
(amounts in thousands):

Impact of Inflation
We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our consolidated results of
operations. We cannot provide assurance that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on
our consolidated 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 ancillary revenues during the summer months at our east coast 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 Managements 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 managements 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:
|
|
|
the availability and adequacy of our cash flow and financing facilities for our
requirements, including payment of the Senior Secured Notes and mortgage note, |
26
|
|
|
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, |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully develop Clubs, |
|
|
|
|
disputes or other problems arising with our development partners or landlords, |
|
|
|
|
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, |
|
|
|
|
competition, |
|
|
|
|
changes in personnel or compensation, and |
|
|
|
|
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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are also 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 June 30, 2005, we had Senior Secured Notes totaling
$100.0 million due in March 2006. Annual interest of $11.4 million is payable semi-annually in
March and September. We also have a $19.4 million loan with a fixed interest rate of 7.25% that
matures and requires a final principal payment of $18.3 million on July 1, 2008. A change in
interest rates of 1% would impact our interest expense by approximately $1.2 million per year.
The fair value of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2005 is estimated as follows (in

ITEM 4. 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 Commissions (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 period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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.
28
In performing its audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December
31, 2003, KPMG LLP (KPMG) noted a matter involving our internal controls that it considered to be
a reportable condition, as defined under standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. In performing its audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements for
the year ended December 31, 2004, Stonefield Josephson, Inc. (Stonefield) also 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 auditors
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 KPMG considered to be a material weakness, was that the Company
does not have adequate internal controls over the application of new accounting principles or the
application of existing accounting principles to new transactions. In this regard, KPMG noted
that, during their review of our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the
Company had not properly accounted for private training revenues. In addition, in connection with
their audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, KPMG determined that
we were not properly accounting for our management arrangement with The Sports Club/LA-Miami; that
we had not properly followed Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 relating to goodwill; and that
we had not properly accounted for the accretion of dividends on our Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock. Finally, KPMG suggested that we needed to consider additional staffing in our accounting
department, and take other action (such as attending training seminars on new accounting rules and
pronouncements) to ensure that we have the expertise and resources to implement new accounting
standards and apply existing accounting standards to new transactions. KPMGs observations were
summarized in its letter dated June 16, 2004, to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
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. Stonefields observation was summarized in its letter dated September 30, 2005 to
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
In connection with the completion of the 2003 audit, the Companys accounting personnel worked
with, and considered the recommendations of, KPMG in accounting for private training revenues,
goodwill, management fees and dividend accrual on our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. They
conducted detailed validation work on these accounts to substantiate the accuracy of the financial
information and related disclosures contained in this Form 10-K. The accounting personnel reviewed
the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 to understand the methodology underlying
the accounting treatment of goodwill and continue to monitor any new developments or changes in
accounting treatment or policies for these assets to ensure that they are accurately disclosed in
our financial statements.
In
December 2004, the Company received a comment letter relating to
the Companys 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 Companys financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and quarterly periods ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.
29
The Audit Committee has authorized and directed management to devise and implement actions to
address these deficiencies and to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of the Companys
internal controls over financial reporting and to provide reasonable assurance that our disclosure
controls and procedures allow for the accurate presentation and timely filing of our financial
statements. The Companys 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
Companys outside counsel with respect to those obligations. We are now performing regular
analyses of revenues attributable to private training and management fees. In addition, our
accounting personnel have determined that if there should occur any changes in existing accounting
rules or policies, or if accounting principles are adopted, which apply to the Companys financial
accounts (particularly with respect to the manner in which private training revenues, management
fees, goodwill and dividend accrual is accounted for), such matters will be brought to the
attention of our independent auditor and, if necessary, outside counsel to ensure that all required
disclosures are accurate and complete and are made in a timely fashion. 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:
engaging an accounting or financial consulting firm (other than the Companys 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;
creating and maintaining a written log in which new FASB, EITF, SOP and other accounting
rules and pronouncements are recorded. The log will include a description of the 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. Management
intends to submit this log to the Audit Committee and its independent auditors on a quarterly
basis, as part of their respective financial statement review;
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
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 conditions identified as
material weaknesses by KPMG and 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. |
30
During the reporting period, the following changes occurred in the Companys 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:
|
|
|
the Company has worked with an accounting firm (other than Companys independent
auditor) to consult with on accounting issues; |
|
|
|
|
the Company has reviewed new accounting pronouncements to determine the applicability
to the Company; |
|
|
|
|
the Company has subscribed to professional publications that discuss new accounting
rules and regulations. |

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

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

consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
