ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Health Fitness Corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), provides fitness and wellness management services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities located in the United States and Canada. Additionally, the Company provides injury prevention programs and on-site physical therapy services. The Company's executive offices are located at 3500 W. 80th Street, Suite 130, Bloomington, Minnesota 55431, and its telephone number is (952) 831-6830.
Effective on January 1, 2001, the Company sold its International Fitness Club Network (IFCN) line of business, which organized and maintained a network of commercial fitness and health clubs and marketed memberships in such clubs to employees and insurance companies. IFCN accounted for approximately $656,000 in revenues and $612,000 in direct costs during 2000. The assets and liabilities of $332,000 and $85,000 of IFCN, remained on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000.
FITNESS AND WELLNESS MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
FITNESS CENTER MANAGEMENT. The Company has been providing results-oriented fitness center management and consulting services since 1975. The Company currently is under contract to manage 160 corporate and 11 hospital, community or university based fitness centers located across the United States and Canada.
Major corporations and hospitals invest in fitness centers and in wellness for several reasons. First, there is a body of research that indicates that healthier employees are more productive, experience reduced levels of stress and are absent from work less often due to sickness. Additionally, wellness benefits, and fitness benefits in particular, are considered high priorities as potential employees evaluate job opportunities with a given employer. Hospitals invest in fitness centers to create a new revenue source that is not subject to insurance or government reimbursements and to address community health inniatives. The Company's sales staff markets to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities primarily through telemarketing and direct mail initiatives.
The Company provides a full range of development, management and marketing services for corporate and hospital-owned fitness centers. For the development of new fitness centers, the Company provides a wide selection of consulting services, including demographic analysis, space planning, interior design, floor plan design, selection and sourcing of fitness equipment and fitness programming design. Once a fitness center is established, the Company generally manages all aspects of fitness center operation, including fitness staff selection, development and implementation of programs, as well as general fitness and facility management supported by well-defined quality assurance guidelines.
Over the past year, the Company has invested considerable time and resources developing a full menu of fee-for-service programs and services to better meet the fitness and health needs of its individual customers. These programs and services include:
HFC ASSESSMENT SERVICES. A full range of tools to assess the health and well-being of selected individuals, including health risk assessments, screenings, data management and education. General wellness or specific assessments provide measurable results and a pathway for effective intervention.
HFC WELLNESS PROGRAMS. A comprehensive menu of lifestyle programs addressing the specific issues facing a company's workforce, including nutrition, weight loss, smoking cessation, stress management, back care and educational seminars.
HFC FITNESS PROGRAMS. Customized exercise-based programs to meet individual, group and company needs, including personal training, back care and specialty group exercise classes.
HFC TREATMENT SERVICES. On-site services designed to provide an effective model to prevent, manage and treat musculo-skeletal disorders in the work environment. Services include needs analysis and regulatory compliance consulting, ergonomic injury prevention and discomfort management. Currently, the Company provides preventative and rehabilitative physical therapy and occupational health services at 11 corporate sites in California and Kentucky.
In 1999, the Company:
1) sold or closed all units of its physical therapy clinic business segment; 2) sold its ProSource fitness equipment business segment; 3) sold its Isernhagen rehabilitative products and services line of business; and 4) sold The Preferred Companies (PTPA) managed care network line of business.
The physical therapy clinics business segment, and the ProSource fitness equipment business segment were classified as discontinued operations. Revenues and direct expenses of $1,411,000 and $1,305,000, from the divested lines of business were included in ongoing operations in the Company's December 31, 1999 financial statements. While certain assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations remained on the balance sheet at December 31, 2000, no new revenues or expenses were received or incurred from any of these sold or closed business segments.
On April 8, 1999, the Company retained The Manchester Companies, Inc., a Minneapolis-based multi-disciplinary professional services firm ("Manchester), which provides investment banking, finance, turnaround and management advisory services to small and middle market companies. Manchester has provided the Company with senior management services, assisted with the sale of various business segments and lines of business, and assisted with the design and execution of the Company's re-engineering effort. Effective January 31, 2001, the Company ceased using Manchester's services for its re-engineering efforts due to the hiring of a permanent management team.
COMPETITION
Within the business-to-business fitness center management industry, there are relatively few national competitors. However, virtually all markets are home to regional providers that manage anywhere from one or two sites to several sites across state lines. With its national presence and over 20 years of history, management believes that the Company is recognized as a leading provider of fitness management services and is well positioned to compete in this industry.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company does not believe it has any significant proprietary rights.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Management believes that there currently is no significant government regulation which materially limits the Company's ability to provide fitness management and consulting services to its corporate and hospital-based clients.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 2001, the Company had 463 full-time and 1,467 part-time employees engaged in operations. The Company's part-time employees are primarily engaged in the staffing of the fitness centers that the Company operates for its clients. The Company currently does not have a collective bargaining relationship with its employees and management believes its relationship with employees is good.
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS
A majority of the Company's management contracts with its fitness center clients include a provision that obligates the Company to indemnify and hold harmless its fitness center clients and their employees, officers and directors from any and all claims, actions and/or suits (including attorneys' fees) arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission of the Company or its employees, officers or directors in connection with the operation of the Company's business. A majority of these management contracts also include a provision that obligates the clients to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against all liabilities arising out of the acts or omissions of the clients, their employees and agents. The Company can make no assurance that the estimated amount of claims or that any such claims by its fitness center clients, or their employees, officers or directors, will not be made in the course of operating the Company's business.
INSURANCE
The Company maintains general premises liability insurance of $6,000,000 per occurrence and $6,000,000 in the aggregate per location for each of its fitness centers and its executive offices. While the Company believes its insurance policies to be sufficient in amount and coverage for its current operations, there can be no assurance that coverage will continue to be available in adequate amounts or at a reasonable cost, and there can be no assurance that the insurance proceeds, if any, will cover the full extent of loss resulting from any claims. The Company does not expect to incur any rate increases relative to the renewal of its liability insurance policies.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company leases approximately 7,000 square feet of commercial office space at 3500 W. 80th Street, Bloomington, Minnesota 55431, under a lease that expires July 2002. The Company's monthly base rent for this office space is approximately $7,964, plus taxes, insurance and other related operating costs. Upon expiration of this lease, it will be necessary for the Company to source other office space to accommodate anticipated corporate staff increases over the next three to five years. Management believes that an additional 1,000 square feet will be adequate to accommodate this anticipated growth.
ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In April 2000, HealthSouth Corporation filed a lawsuit against the Company and two former employees in U.S. District Court in Minnesota arising out of HealthSouth's purchase of several rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics from the Company in May 1999. HealthSouth claimed that the two former
employees improperly diverted business away from the purchased clinics. HealthSouth claimed damages in excess of $3,000,000, alleging misrepresentations and breaches of warranties in the purchase agreement.
In February 2002, the U.S District Court in Minneapolis dismissed all of HealthSouth's claims in connection with a Summary Judgment filed by the Company, and issued an order awarding HFC a judgment of $43,156 for its counter claim relating to certain accounts receivable. Final judgment has not been entered due to other procedural issues with another defendant.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Company did not submit any matters to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended December 31, 2001.
PART II
ITEM 5.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
In April 1999, the Company was de-listed from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (TM). Since that time, trading in the Company's common stock has been conducted in the over-the-counter markets (often referred to as "pink sheets") or on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of low and high sale prices for the Company's common stock.
At March 22, 2002, the published high and low sale prices for the Company's common stock were $0.49 and $0.46 per share respectively. At March 22, 2002, there were issued and outstanding 12,265,250 shares of common stock of the Company held by 389 shareholders of record. Record ownership includes ownership by nominees who may hold for multiple owners.
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The Company presently expects to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business. The payment of dividends, if any, is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, and will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other relevant factors. The Company's current credit facility prohibits the payment of dividends.
On July 2, 2001, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock to its five new outside directors as compensation for their initial election and ongoing service to the Company. The closing sale price of a share of the Company's Common Stock on that date was $.55. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for an exemption from registration for such securities. A restrictive securities legend has been placed on the certificates representing the shares.
On March 19, 2001, the Company issued options to acquire an aggregate of 15,000 shares to a former board member as consideration for professional services.

ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Health Fitness Corporation provides fitness and wellness management services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities located in the United States and Canada. Fitness center based services include the development, marketing, and management of corporate, hospital, and community-based fitness centers, health related programming, and on-site physical therapy and occupational health services. While consumers of these services are typically corporate employees and individuals interested in a healthy lifestyle, revenues are generated almost exclusively through business to business, contractual relationships.
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company sold IFCN, which maintained and sold memberships in a network of independently-owned and operated commercial fitness and health clubs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
REVENUE
Revenues decreased $281,000 or 1.1% to $25,910,000 for 2001, from $26,191,000 for 2000. This decrease is primarily attributed to a $656,000 loss of revenue related to the sale of IFCN in January 2001. In July 2001, the Company lost a significant corporate contract that decreased revenue approximately $441,000 from 2000. The Company also experienced a $154,000 decrease in nonrecurring revenue
between periods, which includes payments received for consulting services, fitness equipment purchases, performance bonuses and contract buyouts. By the end of 2001, the Company was able to offset these revenue decreases with new, recurring management revenues of approximately $970,000.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit decreased $581,000 or 9.1% to $5,805,000 for 2001, from $6,386,000 for 2000. Also, gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 22.4% for 2001 from 24.4% for 2000. These decreases are due to the following reasons:
1. Approximately $223,000 of gross profit was lost as a result of the sale of IFCN. Since IFCN had a higher ratio of gross profit to revenue than the Company's other lines of business for 2000 (34% compared to 24%), the effect of this sale caused a .3 percentage points decrease between periods. This loss of gross profit, however, was replaced by a gain on sale of approximately $229,000, which has been recorded as Other Income (Expense) in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
2. The $154,000 decrease in nonrecurring revenue discussed previously also contributed to the decrease in gross profit as no direct expenses were incurred to produce this revenue. This revenue decrease caused the ratio of gross profit to revenue to decrease approximately .4 percentage points between periods.
3. In the Company's corporate fitness line of business, approximately $106,000 of additional unreimburseable staff compensation and benefit costs was incurred during 2001 on fixed fee management contracts. This caused a comparative decrease in the ratio of gross profit to revenue of approximately .4 percentage points.
4. In the Company's hospital/community fitness line of business, a net gross profit decrease of approximately $110,000 occurred between 2001 and 2000 as additional fitness staff were added to new contracts during 2001 while management fees stayed fixed. These staff increases caused the ratio of gross profit to revenue to decrease approximately .5 percentage points between years.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME
Operating expenses decreased $295,000 to $4,443,000 for 2001, from $4,738,000 for 2000. Operating expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 17.1% for 2001 from 18.1% for 2000. Salaries for 2001 increased $277,000 to $2,117,000 from $1,840,000 for 2000. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of new executive management staff subsequent to the completion of the Company's turnaround efforts, as well as non-cash stock-based compensation charges incurred with the issuance of stock to five new members of the board of directors in accordance with the Company's director compensation plan. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $192,000 to $2,326,000 for 2001 from $2,518,000 for 2000. This decrease is primarily attributed to lower selling expenses, and a continued focus on eliminating unnecessary operating expenses. Re-engineering expenses did not occur during 2001 as the Company had completed its turnaround process by the end of 2000.
Operating income decreased $286,000 to $1,362,000 for 2001, from $1,648,000 for 2000. This decrease is the net result of the changes in gross profit and operating expenses discussed previously.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $218,000 to $464,000 for 2001, from $682,000 for 2000. This decrease is due to lower average borrowings, lower interest rates and fees.
GAIN ON SALE OF SUBSIDIARY
The gain on sale of subsidiary represents the net proceeds realized upon the sale of IFCN.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) increased $39,000 to an expense of $27,000 for 2001, from income of $12,000 for 2000. The expense for 2001 relates primarily to the write-off of fitness equipment that had been acquired by the Company in connection with the prior management of certain fitness centers.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes decreased $754,000 to a benefit of $706,000 for 2001, from an expense of $48,000 for 2000. The Company has been consistently profitable on a quarterly basis over the past two years, and it is expected to continue this trend. Therefore, the Company has reduced its deferred tax valuation allowance. This change in estimate resulted in a 2001 income tax benefit of $777,000. The Company will continue to evaluate its results of operations and estimated future earnings on an ongoing basis to determine if the remaining deferred tax valuation allowance can be reduced.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
There were no operating losses associated with discontinued operations in 2001.
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUE
For 2000, total revenues from continuing operations of $26,191,000 remained constant with revenues of $26,195,000 in 1999. Revenues decreased due to the sale of the Isernhagen and PTPA product lines in the third quarter of 1999 but were offset by increases in the corporate, hospital and community fitness center lines of business.
GROSS PROFIT
For 2000, gross profit increased $342,000 to $6,386,000 or 24.4% from $6,044,000 or 23.1% in 1999. Increases in gross profit in the corporate fitness center, IFCN and consulting lines of business were partially offset by the decrease in gross profit due to the sale of the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business in 1999. The increase in gross profit at the corporate fitness center line of business was due to the elimination of lower margin management contracts. The increase in gross margin at IFCN and the consulting lines of business was entirely due to reductions in the cost of revenue for 2000 as compared to 1999.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)
Operating expenses decreased $1,278,000 to $4,738,000 for 2000, and was 18.1% of sales as compared to $6,016,000 or 23.0% of sales in 1999. Operating income for 2000 increased $1,621,000, from $28,000 in 1999, to $1,649,000 for 2000. Salaries and benefits for 2000 decreased $214,000 to $1,840,000 due to staffing reductions. Selling, general and administrative costs for 2000 decreased by $696,000 to $2,518,000, or 9.6% of sales as compared to $3,214,000 or 12.3% of sales in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to the achievement of targeted expense reductions, the reduction of bad debt expenses, the elimination of amortization relating to the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business which were sold in 1999, and software replacement expenses recorded in 1999. Re-engineering expenses for 2000 decreased $368,000 to $380,000 from $748,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease is due to the lack of noncompete expenses that were recorded in 1999 and a decrease in re-engineering related contract services, partially offset by due diligence expenses associated with a terminated merger.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for 2000, which includes amortization of financing costs, was $682,000 or 2.6% as compared to $1,090,000 or 4.1% in 1999. The decrease is due to lower average borrowings, lower interest rates and fees, and lower financing costs.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Other income (expense) decreased $266,000 to income of $12,000, for 2000, from an expense of $254,000 in 1999, primarily due to a $356,000 loss associated with the divestiture of the PTPA and Isernhagen lines of business in 1999.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's effective tax rate. Income tax expense represents minimum state income taxes as well as federal taxes due because of alternative minimum tax calculations. Current income tax expense for 2000 was offset by utilization of net operating losses. Income tax benefits in 1999 were offset by a valuation allowance.
INCOME (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
As a result of the above, the Company's income from continuing operations increased $2,332,000 to $930,000 for 2000 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1,402,000 in 1999.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
There were no operating losses associated with discontinued operations in 2000.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management believes the Company has not adopted any critical accounting policies that, if changed, would result in a material change in financial estimates, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. Refer to a description of the Company's significant accounting policies contained within the footnotes to the Company's audited financial statements contained herein.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital increased significantly to $381,000 in 2001 from a deficit of $2,392,000 in 2000, largely due to the decrease in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance and reduction of notes payable and other current liabilities.
In July 2000, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Coast Business Credit for a $5.0 million working capital facility (the "Working Capital Facility"). Interest on the Working Capital Facility is at the prime rate plus 3.0%, with future reductions based on the achievement of certain net worth levels. The Working Capital Facility expires in July 2003. Available credit under the Working Capital Facility is based upon certain profitability and cash collection multiples. As of December 31, 2001, available credit under the Working Capital Facility was approximately $2,676,000, of which the Company had $1,442,000 outstanding. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants that measure net worth, interest coverage and debt capacity. The Company is in compliance with all of the financial covenants in effect on December 31, 2001.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities. Refer to the footnotes to the Company's audited financial statements contained herein for disclosure related to the Company's "Commitments and Contingencies."
The Company believes that sources of capital to meet future obligations will be provided by cash generated through operations and the Company's Working Capital Facility. The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on the results of its operations.
OUTLOOK AND TRENDS
The U.S. economy has been experiencing recessionary pressures, which has resulted in many large companies laying-off a significant number of employees. A few of the Company's customers have been affected by this economic downturn, which has resulted in the decrease of fitness staff at some locations, while at other locations, the Company has been faced with contract cancellations. Management believes that the effect of this economic downturn has not been material to the Company's results of operation. In fact, Management believes that major corporations will continue to make significant investments into employee fitness facilities and programs as a way to retain existing employees, as well as to recruit new employees when hiring needs increase. As one of the largest providers of corporate fitness services, the Company is poised to meet the needs of these companies.
An emerging trend within corporate fitness management relates to companies asking service providers to operate their fitness center on a cost-neutral or for-profit basis. These cost-conscious companies desire to minimize or eliminate the subsidization of their fitness centers by keeping costs within the revenues being realized from employee memberships and other sources of revenue. In connection with this form of business model, the Company would derive its management fee revenue not from its corporate client, but from the profits of the fitness center. In the case of a company that is developing a new fitness center for its employees, the application of this business model may require the Company to fund operating losses until enough memberships are sold to realize profitability. If the Company pursues this model, the Company believes it may have to fund operating losses for such centers up to twelve months before profitability is reached. Currently, the Company has not entered into any corporate relationships where this model is being implemented. However, the Company believes this model will enable it to leverage its experience managing for-profit fitness centers, and may result in higher gross margins and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage such centers profitably or to fund losses for these centers until profitability is achieved.
Lastly, the Company intends to expand its revenue opportunities by offering wellness services and programs to its existing client base, including health assessment and screening services, wellness programs and educational seminars, personal fitness programming and workplace injury assessment, prevention and treatment services. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful introducing such programs and services to its existing customers.
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Such "forward-looking" information is included in this Form 10-K, including the MD&A section, as well as in the Company's Annual Report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company).
Forward-looking statements include all statements based on future expectations and specifically include statements relating to improving margins, growth of the market for corporate, hospital, and community based fitness centers, the development of new business models and the intention to expand the Company's programs and services. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, leverage and debt service (including sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates) continued expansion of corporate, hospital, and community fitness center opportunities, and availability of sufficient working capital.
The following risks and uncertainties also should be noted:
RESTRICTIONS AND AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS IMPOSED BY SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY:
Certain of the affirmative and negative covenants imposed upon the Company by its senior secured lending facility restrict the Company's ability to incur additional senior and subordinated debt. Furthermore, upon certain events of default, such senior secured lender is entitled to demand immediate repayment of its outstanding loans. In such circumstances, the Company may not be able to access other sources of capital, on a timely basis, or on terms and conditions favorable to the Company, or at all, with sufficient speed or sufficient size to prevent the Company's senior secured lender from taking material adverse action against the Company and its collateral.
POTENTIAL DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK ARISING FROM EXERCISE AND SALE OF EXISTING CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES:
At December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate 2,600,527 shares of common stock. The exercise of such outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants and sale of stock acquired thereby may have a material adverse effect on the price of the Company's common stock. In addition, the exercise of such outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants and sale of such Company's common stock could occur at a time when the Company would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms and conditions more favorable to the Company.
MANAGEMENT OF COST-NEUTRAL OR FOR-PROFIT CENTERS:
The Company has not yet implemented its model of managing corporate centers on a cost-neutral or for-profit basis without receiving a management fee from the corporate owner of such centers. Corporate owned centers are resistant to significant membership fees and fee increases, and the Company may not be successful in sufficiently lowering costs and/or in raising service levels and associated revenues, as required to achieve this objective.
ITEM 7A.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing in derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other such financial instruments. Transactions with international customers are entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges. As a result, the exposure to market risk is not material.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business - Health Fitness Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) provide fitness and wellness management services and programs to corporations, hospitals, communities and universities located in the United States and Canada. Fitness and wellness management services include the development, marketing and management of corporate, hospital and community based fitness centers, injury prevention and work-injury management consulting, and on-site physical therapy.
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable - Trade accounts and notes receivable represent amounts due from companies and individuals for services and products. The notes receivable are typically due in 60 monthly installments and have interest rates from 8.76% to 9%. The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business, but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support amounts due. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's expectations. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers and their geographic dispersion.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods over the useful lives of the assets or the term of capital leases.
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 or 20 years. Goodwill totaling $74,000 was written off during 2001 relating to the sale of a subsidiary (see note 2).
Subsequent payments of earn-out provisions associated with acquisitions have been accounted for as adjustments to goodwill and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the goodwill.
The carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets is assessed periodically or when factors indicating impairment are present. Projected undiscounted cash flows are used in assessing these assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001, 2000 AND 1999
Intangible Assets - The Company's intangible assets include noncompete agreements, deferred financing costs, and other intangible assets. Noncompete agreements consist of agreements with certain individuals which cover periods of two to seven years and prohibit the individuals from directly or indirectly competing with the Company and are amortized over the term of the noncompete agreement. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line method over the term of the credit agreement. Other intangible assets totaling $125,000 were written off against the proceeds of the sale of a subsidiary (see note 2).
Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue represents billings in advance for the management of corporate and hospital-based fitness centers and amounts received in excess of revenues recognized to date on third-party payor contracts. Accounts receivable relating to deferred revenue were $1,123,197 and $1,074,598 at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue, except from third-party payor contracts, is recognized at the time the service is provided. Revenue from third-party payor contracts is recognized over the contract period.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share - Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, contingently issuable shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options, stock warrants, and convertible subordinated debt when dilutive.
Common stock options and warrants to purchase 1,935,527 and 2,103,902 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.25 and $2.54 were excluded from the 2001 and 2000 diluted computation because they are anti-dilutive.
Common stock options and warrants to purchase 2,800,219 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.73 and the assumed conversion of convertible subordinated notes into 383,333 shares of common stock were excluded from the 1999 diluted computation because they are anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for its stock based employee compensation plans. Pro-forma information related to the fair value based method of accounting is contained in note 7.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of the Company's current financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair values.
Use of Estimates - Preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. These pronouncements, among other things, eliminate the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations and require intangible assets acquired in business combinations to be recorded separately from goodwill. The pronouncements also eliminate the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and require negative goodwill be recognized as an extraordinary gain. Thereafter, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill. The Company has determined goodwill relates to one reporting unit for purposes of impairment testing and expects to complete a transitional fair value based impairment test of goodwill by June 30, 2002.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 retains the requirement from SFAS 121 to test a long-lived asset or asset group for impairment using a two-step impairment test whenever a triggering event occurs. SFAS 144 provides an additional triggering event, a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life would indicate the need to test that asset or asset group for impairment. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and is generally to be applied prospectively. SFAS 144 does not apply to goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, long-term customer relationships of financial institutions, financial instruments, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred tax assets, and other long-lived assets for which the accounting is prescribed in certain other FASB Statements.
The FASB also issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that result from acquisition, construction, or development and (or) normal operations of the long-lived asset. For purposes of SFAS 143, a liability for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized if the obligation meets the definition of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement 6, "Elements of Financial Statements," and if the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Consequently, an entity should recognize a liability for an asset retirement obligation if (a) the entity has a duty or responsibility to settle an asset retirement obligation, (b) the entity has little or no discretion to avoid the future transfer or use of assets, and (c) the transaction or other event obligating the entity has occurred.
The SFAS 144 and 143 should not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
