Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation (the “Company”) and the subsidiaries that it controls. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is a commercial operator of 384 fitness centers at March 31, 2006 concentrated in 29 states and Canada. Additionally, as of March 31, 2006, 29 clubs were operated pursuant to franchise and joint venture agreements in the United States, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The Company operates in one industry segment, and all significant revenues arise from the commercial operation of fitness centers, primarily in major metropolitan markets in the United States and Canada. Unless otherwise specified in the text, references to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC on June 27, 2006.

All adjustments have been recorded which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at March 31, 2006, its consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, its consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and its consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Actual results could vary from such estimates. Prior period amounts related to discontinued operations reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”).

Seasonal factors

The Company’s operations are subject to seasonal factors and, therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

Market risk

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the fixed interest commitment on $200,000 of outstanding principal on the Company’s 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) was swapped for a variable rate commitment based on the LIBOR rate plus 6.01%.

Note 2 Restatement of 2005 Quarterly Information

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company identified errors in its previously reported 2005 quarterly results with respect to revenue items relating to certain membership offers, amortization of deferred finance costs, depreciation expense and certain insurance liability expense. See Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included herein reflect the restated items.

(Unaudited)

Note 3 Commitments and Contingencies

Operating leases: The Company leases various fitness center facilities, office facilities, and equipment under operating leases expiring in periods ranging from one to 25 years, excluding optional renewal periods. Certain leases contain contingent rental provisions generally related to cost-of-living criteria or revenues of the respective fitness centers.

Litigation:

Putative Securities Class Actions

Between May and July 2004, ten putative securities class actions, now consolidated and designated In re Bally Total Fitness Securities Litigation were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company and certain of its former and current officers and directors. Each of these substantially similar lawsuits alleged that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as well as the associated Rule 10b-5, in connection with the Company’s proposed restatement.

On March 15, 2005, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and on May 23, 2005 the Court appointed lead plaintiff’s counsel. By stipulation of the parties, the consolidated lawsuit was stayed pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements in November 2005. On December 30, 2005, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint, asserting claims on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased Bally stock between August 3, 1999 and April 28, 2004. The various defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint on February 24, 2006, which motions are currently pending. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these actions.

Stockholder Derivative Lawsuits in Illinois State Court

On June 8, 2004, two stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by two Bally stockholders, David Schacter and James Berra, purportedly on behalf of the Company against Paul Toback, James McAnally and John Rogers, Jr., who are current directors and/or officers, and Lee Hillman, John Dwyer, J. Kenneth Looloian, Stephen Swid, George Aronoff, Martin Franklin and Liza Walsh, who are now former officers and/or directors. These lawsuits allege claims for breaches of fiduciary duty against those individuals in connection with the Company’s restatement regarding the timing of recognition of prepaid dues. The two actions were consolidated on January 12, 2005. By stipulation of the parties, the consolidated lawsuit was stayed pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements in November 2005. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on February 27, 2006. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on May 20, 2006, directed solely to the issue of whether plaintiffs have adequately alleged demand futility as required by applicable Delaware law in order to establish standing to sue derivatively. That motion is currently pending. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of these actions.

Stockholder Derivative Lawsuits in Illinois Federal Court

On April 5, 2005, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, purportedly on behalf of the Company against certain current and former officers and directors of the Company by another of the Company’s stockholders, Albert Said. This lawsuit asserts claims for breaches of fiduciary duty in failing to supervise properly its financial and corporate affairs and accounting practices. Plaintiff also requests restitution and disgorgement of bonuses and trading proceeds under Delaware law and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. By stipulation of the parties, the lawsuit was stayed pending restatement of the Company’s financial statements in November 2005. An amended consolidated complaint was filed on February 27, 2006. Bally filed a motion to dismiss on May 30, 2006, directed solely to the issues of whether the court has subject matter jurisdiction and whether plaintiffs have

(Unaudited)

adequately alleged demand futility as required by applicable Delaware law in order to establish standing to sue derivatively. That motion is currently pending. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

Lawsuit in Oregon

On September 17, 2004, a lawsuit captioned Jack Garrison and Deane Garrison v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, Lee S. Hillman and John W. Dwyer, CV 04 1331, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated certain provisions of the Oregon Securities Act, breached the contract of sale, and committed common-law fraud in connection with the acquisition of the plaintiffs’ business in exchange for shares of Bally stock.

On April 7, 2005, all defendants joined in a motion to dismiss two of the four counts of plaintiffs’ complaint, including plaintiffs’ claims of breach of contract and fraud. On November 28, 2005, the District Court granted the motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for breach of contract and fraud against all parties. Motions for summary judgment were filed on April 21, 2006 and are currently pending. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

Lawsuit in Massachusetts

On March 11, 2005, plaintiffs filed a complaint in the matter of Fit Tech Inc., et al. v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation, et al., Case No. 05-CV-10471 MEL, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. This action is related to an earlier action brought in 2003 by the same plaintiffs in the same court alleging breach of contract and violation of certain earn-out provisions of an agreement whereby the Company acquired certain fitness centers from plaintiffs in return for shares of Bally stock. The 2005 complaint asserted new claims against the Company for violation of state and federal securities laws on the basis of allegations that misrepresentations in Bally’s financial statements resulted in Bally’s stock price to be artificially inflated at the time of the Fit-Tech transaction. Plaintiffs also asserted additional claims for breach of contract and common law claims. Certain employment disputes between the parties to this litigation are also subject to arbitration in Chicago.

Plaintiffs’ claims are brought against the Company and its current Chairman and CEO Paul Toback, as well as former Chairman and CEO Lee Hillman and former CFO John Dwyer. Plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed all claims under the federal securities laws, leaving breach of contract, common law and state securities claims pending. On April 4, 2006, the Court granted motions to dismiss all claims against defendants Hillman and Dwyer for lack of jurisdiction. Under the current schedule, motions to dismiss on other grounds are to be filed on July 19, 2006. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this action.

Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation

In April 2004, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC commenced an investigation in connection with the Company’s restatement. The Company continues to fully cooperate in the ongoing SEC investigation. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this investigation.

Department of Justice Investigation

In February 2005, the United States Justice Department commenced a criminal investigation in connection with the Company’s restatement. The investigation is being conducted by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois. The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation. It is not yet possible to determine the ultimate outcome of this investigation.

On December 27, 2004, the Company received a stockholder demand that it bring actions or seek other remedies against parties potentially responsible for the Company’s accounting errors. The Board appointed a Special Demand Evaluation Committee consisting of three independent directors to evaluate that request. On June 21, 2005, the Company received a second, substantially similar, stockholder demand, which the Special Demand Evaluation Committee also evaluated along with the other stockholder demand. The Special Demand Evaluation Committee retained independent counsel, Sidley & Austin LLP, to assist it in evaluating the demands.

On March 10, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors accepted the recommendation of its Special Demand Evaluation Committee that no further action be taken at this time against any current or former officers or directors of the Company regarding the matters raised in the two shareholder demand letters. The Committee’s recommendation, based on the report of its independent counsel and adopted by the Board of Directors, was based on consideration of a variety of factors, including (i) the nature and strength of the Company’s potential claims; (ii) defenses available to the officers and directors; (iii) potential damages and resources available to satisfy any damages award; (iv) the Company’s indemnification and advancement obligations under its charter, bylaws, and individual agreements; (v) potential expenses to the Company and potential counterclaims arising from the pursuit of potential civil claims; and (vi) business disruption and employee morale issues.

Insurance Lawsuits

On November 10, 2005, two of the Company’s excess directors and officers liability insurance providers filed a complaint captioned Travelers Indemnity Company and ACE American Insurance Company v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation; Holiday Universal, Inc, n/k/a Bally Total Fitness of the Mid-Atlantic, Inc; George N. Aronoff; Paul Toback; John W. Dwyer; Lee S. Hillman; Stephen C. Swid; James McAnally; J. Kenneth Looloian; Liza M. Walsh; Annie P. Lewis, as Executor of the Estate of Aubrey C. Lewis, Deceased; Theodore Noncek; Geoff Scheitlin; John H. Wildman; John W. Rogers, Jr.; and Martin E. Franklin, Case No. 05C 6441, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint alleged that financial information included in the Company’s applications for directors and officers liability insurance in the 2002-2004 policy years was materially false and misleading. Plaintiff requests the Court to declare two of the Company’s excess policies for the year 2002-2003 void, voidable and/or subject to rescission, and to declare that the exclusions and/or conditions of a separate excess policy for the year 2003-2004 bar coverage with respect to certain of the Company’s claims. Firemans Fund, another excess carrier, was allowed to join in the case on January 4, 2006. Defendants filed motions to dismiss or stay the proceedings on February 10, 2006, which motions are currently pending. On April 6, 2006, an additional excess directors and officers liability insurance provider filed a complaint captioned RLI Insurance Company v. Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation; Holiday Universal, Inc.; George N. Aronoff; Paul Toback; John H. Dwyer; Lee S. Hillman; Stephen C. Swid; James McAnally; J. Kenneth Looloian; Liza M. Walsh; Annie P. Lewis, as Executor of the Estate of Aubrey C. Lewis, Deceased; Theodore Noncek; Geoff Scheitlin; John H. Wildman; John W. Rogers, Jr.; and Martin E. Franklin, Case No. 06CH06892 in the circuit court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department Chancery Division. The complaint alleged that financial information included in the Company’s applications for directors and officers liability insurance in the 2002-2003 policy year was materially false and misleading. Plaintiff requests the Court to declare the Company’s excess policy for the year 2002-2003 void, voidable and/or subject to rescission. The Company and the individual defendants have not yet responded to the complaint.

Other:

The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business, including claims arising from accidents at its fitness centers. In the opinion of management, the Company is adequately insured against such claims and lawsuits, and any ultimate liability arising out of such claims and lawsuits should not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. In addition, from time to time, customer complaints are investigated by various

(Unaudited)

governmental bodies. In the opinion of management, none of these other complaints or investigations currently pending should have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the Company is, and has been in the past, named as defendant in a number of purported class action lawsuits based on alleged violations of state and local consumer protection laws and regulations governing the sale, financing and collection of membership fees. To date the Company has successfully defended or settled such lawsuits without a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company cannot assure you that it will be able to successfully defend or settle all pending or future purported class action claims, and its failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. See Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors.

Note 4 Debt

At March 31, 2006, the Company had $25,000 in borrowings and $14,114 of letters of credit outstanding under its $100,000 revolving credit facility. The amount available under the revolving credit facility is reduced by any outstanding letters of credit, which are limited to $30,000. At March 31, 2006, the average rate on borrowings under the revolving credit and term loan facility was 9.11%. On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver with the lenders under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 14, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) that modified the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense,” modified permitted dispositions, clarified the definition of “Banking Day,” extended the time for delivering the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until July 10, 2006, extended the time for delivering the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 until September 11, 2006, with an option to elect to extend until October 11, 2006, permitted payment of the consent fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Company’s 10 1/2% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Senior Notes”) and excluded fees and expenses incurred in connection with the consent solicitation from the computation of financial covenants. As of March 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The Company did not comply with its covenant obligations under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes to file its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2006 with the SEC by the required filing dates.

The Company’s unrestricted Canadian subsidiary was not in compliance with its credit agreement at March 31, 2006. As a result, the outstanding amount of $1,028 has been classified as current.

On March 31, 2006, the Company was not in compliance with two credit agreements with the same lender. These agreements represented debt of restricted subsidiaries in the amount of $3,147 and debt of an unrestricted subsidiary in the amount of $1,703. On April 13, 2006, these agreements were amended and the Company was in compliance. As the Company was in compliance as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2006, no additional amounts have been classified as current.

The Company is in the process of implementing new accounting processes and technologies designed to shorten the time required to prepare and file its financial statements. In addition, as described in Note 12, Subsequent Events, while the Company has secured additional time to file its second quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, and to file its third quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a cross-default under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make such filings within the extended time periods. Failure to do so will lead to further defaults under the indentures and the Credit Agreement and could require the Company to seek additional consents from its bondholders and lenders.

Note 6 Income (loss) per Common Share

Income (loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share.” Basic income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method.

Note 7 Income Taxes

At March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $710,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $5,896 of Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards. The AMT credits can be carried forward indefinitely, while the tax loss carryforwards expire beginning in 2011 and fully expire in 2026. In addition, the Company has substantial state tax loss carryforwards that began to expire in 2006 and fully expire in 2026. On September 28, 2005, the Company underwent an ownership change for purposes of IRC Section 382. Due to the ownership change that occurred, the utilization of the Company’s federal tax loss carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382, which will significantly limit their use. The amount of the limitation may, under certain circumstances, be increased by built-in gains held by the Company at the time of the change that are recognized in the five-year period after the ownership change.

Based on the Company’s past performance and the expiration dates of its carryforwards, the ultimate realization of all of the Company’s deferred tax assets cannot be assured. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company will continue to review and evaluate the valuation allowance.

Note 8 Stock-based Compensation

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No.123R”). SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”) and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R primarily focuses on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions and requires entities to recognize compensation expense from all share-based payment transactions in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123R establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for all share-based payment transactions with employees.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this method, the Company must record compensation expense for all awards granted after the adoption date and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the adoption date, under the fair value method. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Total stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 was $1,090 which is comprised of $561 related to stock options, $430 related to restricted shares and $99 related to estimated income tax obligations which are liability classified.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25, and recognized no compensation costs for its stock plans other than for its restricted stock awards. Specifically, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R resulted in the recording of compensation expense for employee stock options. The following table shows what selected reported items would have been for the three months ended March 31, 2006 under APB 25:


Loss from continuing operations before income taxes	$	(4,071	)
Loss from continuing operations		(4,272	)
Net income		33,231
Cash flow from operating activities		10,577
Cash flow from financing activities		(47,998	)
Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share
Loss from continuing operations	$	(0.11	)
Income from discontinued operations		1.00

Net income(1)	$	0.88


(1)		Per share amounts do not sum due to rounding differences.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for the three months ended March 31, 2005:


Net income, as reported	$	4,615
Plus: stock-based compensation expense included in net income		131
Less: stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method		(701	)

Pro forma net income	$	4,045


Basic and diluted income per common share
As reported	$	0.14
Pro forma		0.12

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In January 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1996 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). The Directors’ Plan provided for the grant of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors of the Company. Options under the Directors’ Plan were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Option grants under the Directors’ Plan become exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing one year from the date of grant and have a 10-year term. The Directors’ Plan expired as of January 3, 2006. As such, stock options may no longer be granted under the Directors’ Plan.

Also in January 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provided for the grant of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options and compensatory restricted stock awards (collectively “Awards”) to officers and key employees of the Company. Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, non-qualified stock options were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Incentive stock options could not be granted at less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Option grants become exercisable

(Unaudited)

generally in three equal annual installments commencing one year from the date of grant. Option grants in 2005, 2004 and 2003 have 10-year terms. The Incentive Plan expired as of January 3, 2006. As such, awards may no longer be granted under the Incentive Plan.

On March 8, 2005, the Company adopted the Inducement Award Equity Incentive Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) as a means of providing equity compensation in order to induce individuals to become employed by the Company. The Inducement Plan provides for the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the form of stock options and restricted shares, subject to various restrictions. Pursuant to the Inducement Plan, non-qualified stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Inducement stock options must be granted at not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Options are granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Option grants become exercisable generally in three equal annual installments commencing one year from the date of grant and have 10-year terms. As of March 31, 2006, 54,500 shares remain available for issuance under the Inducement Plan (42,500 at May 31, 2006).

Certain employment arrangements contain provisions that provide for the payment to the participant of amounts which represent estimated income tax obligations related to the vesting of awards. The amounts related to the estimated income tax obligations are liability classified awards.

Stock Options

A summary of stock based compensation activity within the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is as follows:


						Weighted

Exercisable at March 31, 2006		2,747,641		$	17.00		5.3	$	3,498

Other information pertaining to option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:


	For the Three Months ended

	2006		2005
Weighted average grant-date fair value of stock options granted	$	4.60	$	1.74
Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	134	$	—

The Company received $151 of cash from stock options exercised during the first quarter of 2006. At March 31, 2006, there was approximately $2,500 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. This cost will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2006			2005
Expected option life in years		6			6
Risk-free interest rate		4.7	%		4.2	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected volatility		52	%		52	%

For the first quarter of 2006, the expected life of each award granted was calculated using historical experience. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility levels of Bally Total Fitness Holding Corporation common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury strip rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term. Expected dividend yield is based on historical dividend payments.

Restricted Stock

The Company also grants restricted stock awards to certain employees. Restricted stock awards are valued at the closing market value of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the grant, and the total value of the award is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting period of the employees receiving the grants. The Company did not grant restricted stock awards during the first quarter of 2006.

Outstanding at March 31, 2006		834,500		$	6.92

As of March 31, 2006, the total amount of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards and estimated income tax obligations was approximately $5,292, and $1,159, respectively. Both amounts are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of approximately 4 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 was $20 and $0, respectively.

Note 9 Guarantees

In connection with the Company’s January 2006 sale of its “Crunch Fitness” brand along with certain additional health clubs located in San Francisco, California, the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries remain liable for the obligations (including rent) on certain leases transferred to the purchaser in the amount of $90,228 and may remain liable for the obligations on three additional leases that have not yet transferred to purchaser in an additional amount of $8,487.

The amount of foregoing liabilities will reduce over time as obligations are paid by the purchaser under these leases. However, certain of the leases possess renewal options which, if exercised by purchaser, will again increase the amount of liability of the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries under such lease existing as of the date of such exercise by purchaser but for no more than the obligations for a 5 year period under any such lease.

The Company’s exposure for these retained liabilities is mitigated by two letters of credit naming the Company as beneficiary, aggregating $3,228 and having a term equal to the longer of three years or the time the purchaser has a Debt to EBITDA Ratio of less than 3 to 1.

The Company has recorded a liability on its balance sheet for the estimated fair value of these retained liabilities equal to $600 based upon an analysis prepared by an independent third party valuation company.

Note 10 Insurance Proceeds

Costs incurred as a result of the Audit Committee investigation, costs of cooperating with the various government agencies investigating accounting-related matters, attorneys’ and other professional fees advanced by the Company to various current and former Company officers, directors and employees, as provided in the Company’s by-laws, subject to the undertaking of the recipients to repay the advanced fees should it ultimately be determined by a court of law that they were not entitled to be indemnified, and related class action litigation are reflected in “General and Administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company received payments of $1,623 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 for reimbursement of costs incurred in prior periods pursuant to the Company’s Director and Officer insurance policies.

Note 11 Discontinued Operations

On January 20, 2006, pursuant to a sale agreement, the Company completed the sale of twenty-five health clubs operated primarily under the “Crunch Fitness” brand, along with certain additional health clubs operating under the “Gorilla Sports” and “Pinnacle Fitness” brands located in San Francisco, California. The transaction resulted from an offering and competitive bidding process run by the Company’s independent investment banking firm. The Company received $45,000 in gross proceeds and recorded a net gain of $38,375. As a result of this transaction, the Company has presented the operating results of Crunch as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

Note 12 Subsequent Events

Credit Agreement Amendment and Noteholder Consent Solicitation

On March 14, 2006, the Company announced that it would not meet the March 16, 2006 deadline for filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 with the SEC. Although the delay in filing resulted in defaults of the financial reporting covenants under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes, it did not constitute an event of default without delivery of a notice of default and expiration of a 30-day cure period. A cross default under the Credit Agreement occurs 10 days after receipt of such notice. Additionally, a default would also occur under the Credit Agreement if the Company did not deliver audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to the lenders by March 31, 2006.

On March 24, 2006, the Company announced that it would seek waivers of the defaults of the financial reporting covenants under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes through a consent solicitation, which was commenced on March 27, 2006. In connection with the consent solicitation, the Company entered into agreements with approximately 53% of the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to consent to the requested waivers.

On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver with the lenders under the Credit Agreement that modified the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense,” modified permitted dispositions, clarified the definition of “Banking Day,” extended the time for delivering the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until July 10, 2006, extended the time for delivering the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 until September 11, 2006, with an option to elect to extend until October 11, 2006, permitted payment of the consent fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes and excludes fees and expenses incurred in connection with the consent solicitation from the computation of financial covenants.

(Unaudited)

On April 10, 2006, the Company completed the consent solicitations to amend the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes to waive any default arising under the financial reporting covenants from a failure to timely file financial statements with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the quarter ended March 31, 2006 through July 10, 2006, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 through September 11, 2006, with an option to elect to extend through October 11, 2006.

In connection with these consents, the Company issued 1,956,195 shares of unregistered common stock and paid $769 in consent fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes, paid the lenders under the Credit Agreement $2,474 in fees and recorded $22,016 in deferred finance charges as of March 31, 2006. These deferred finance charges were reduced to $18,220 subsequent to March 31, 2006 to reflect the ultimate value of payments elected in shares after the end of the period. Additionally, on April 11, 2006, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) to sell 400,000 shares of unregistered common stock to each of Wattles Capital Management, LLC and investment funds affiliated with Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. Proceeds of $5,600 from the sales of Common Stock were used to fund: (i) the cash portion of the consent fees paid to holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes and related expenses; (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Credit Agreement amendment and waiver; and (iii) additional working capital.

On June 23, 2006, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which extends the 10 day period to 28 days after which a cross-default will occur upon receipt of any financial reporting covenant default notice under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes or Senior Notes for the third quarter of 2006. The Company paid the lenders under the Credit Agreement fees of $493 in connection with the Fourth Amendment.

The Company is in the process of implementing new accounting processes and technologies designed to shorten the time required to prepare and file its financial statements. In addition, as described above, while the Company has secured additional time to file its second quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, and to file its third quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a cross-default under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make such filings within the extended time periods. Failure to do so will lead to further defaults under the indentures and the Credit Agreement and could require the Company to seek additional consents from its bondholders and lenders.

Management Changes

On April 17, 2006, the Company announced that Carl J. Landeck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer was no longer an employee of the Company and that Ronald G. Eidell of Tatum, LLC had joined the Company as Senior Vice President, Finance, with responsibility for all accounting and finance functions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Executive Summary of Business

Bally is the largest publicly traded commercial operator of fitness centers in North America in terms of members, revenues and square footage of its facilities. As of March 31, 2006, we operated 384 fitness centers collectively serving approximately 3.6 million members. These 384 fitness centers occupied a total of 12.1 million square feet.

Our fitness centers are concentrated in major metropolitan areas in 29 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, with more than 321 fitness centers located in the top 25 metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada. As of March 31, 2006, we operated fitness centers in over 45 major metropolitan areas representing 61% of the United States population and over 16% of the Canadian population. Currently, approximately 50% of new joining members participate in a membership plan allowing multiple club access, varying from market to nationwide access to all like-branded fitness centers. Members electing multiple center access are required to make larger monthly payments than those who select a single club membership.

Concentrating our clubs in major metropolitan areas has the additional benefits of (i) providing our members access to multiple locations to facilitate achieving their fitness goals; (ii) strengthening the Bally Total Fitness^® brand awareness; (iii) leveraging national advertising; (iv) enabling the Company to develop promotional partnerships with other national or regional companies; and (v) more cost effective regional management and control by leveraging our existing operations in those markets.

Historically, Bally memberships in most markets required a two or three year commitment from the member with payments comprised of an initiation fee, interest, and monthly dues. Since late 2003, we have expanded these offers to include “month-to-month” membership options that provide greater flexibility to members. Beginning in late 2004 and through December 2005, we implemented the Build Your Own Membership (“BYOM^SM”) program, which simplifies the enrollment process and enables members to choose the membership type, amenities and pricing structure they prefer.

We have three principal sources of revenue:

1)		Our primary revenue source is membership services revenue derived from the operation of our fitness centers. Membership services revenue includes amounts paid by our members in the form of membership fees and dues payments. It also includes revenue generated from provision of personal training services.

		Currently, the majority of our members choose to purchase their membership under our multi-year value plan by paying an enrollment fee and by making monthly payments throughout the obligatory term of their membership. After the obligatory period of membership, our members enter the non-obligatory renewal period of membership and make monthly payments (“renewal payments”) to maintain membership privileges. Under sales methods in effect prior to December 2005, renewal payments were substantially discounted from the obligatory period monthly payment level. Following the nationwide implementation of our new BYOM pricing plan, in most markets renewal payments carry a smaller or no discount from the obligatory period monthly payment level. Our members may also choose to purchase a prepaid membership for periods up to three years. Members choosing our month-to-month membership payment option make month-to-month non-obligatory payments after paying an enrollment fee. Ongoing membership dues for members in renewal periods may be paid monthly or annually or may be prepaid for multiple future periods.

		Our membership services revenue is generally collected as cash on a basis that does not conform to its basis of revenue recognition, resulting in the deferral of significant amounts received early in the membership period that will be recognized in later periods. This recognition methodology is a consequence of our long history of offering membership programs with higher levels of monthly or total payments during the obligatory period of membership, generally for periods of up to three years, followed by discounted payments in the subsequent renewal phase of membership. Our revenue recognition objective

		is to recognize an even amount of membership revenue from our members throughout their entire term of membership, regardless of the payment pattern. As a result, we make estimates of membership term length on a composite group basis of all members joining in a period and set up separate amortization pools based on estimated total group membership term length averages. Estimated term lengths used to create the separate amortization term groups for revenue recognition are based on historical average membership terms experienced by our members.

		Membership services revenue related to members who maintain their membership for periods beyond the obligatory term of membership is deferred as collected and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of total membership. Our historical evaluation of members has resulted in a determination that approximately 37% of originated monthly payment revenue from our members is subject to deferral to be recognized over their entire term of membership. As a result, we defer all collections received from members in this group, and recognize as membership service revenue these amounts based on five amortization pools with amortization periods of 39 months to 245 months, representing composite average membership terms of membership of between 37 months and 360 months. Membership services revenues that have been prepaid in their entirety for the obligatory period of membership are recognized in a similar manner, except that the estimate of the group expected to remain a member for only the obligatory period of membership is amortized over the length of the contract, which is generally 36 months, but varies by state. Based on the historical attrition patterns of members who pay their membership in full upon origination, approximately 57% of such membership revenue relates to members who maintain their membership beyond the obligatory three-year period of membership, which is amortized using the same five amortization pools as described for monthly collections.

		We evaluate the actual attrition patterns of all of our deferred revenue pools on a quarterly basis and make adjustments from our historical experience to take into account actual attrition by origination month groups. As we determine that our new estimated attrition is different than the initial estimate based on historical patterns, we recognize as a change in accounting estimate a charge or credit to membership services revenue in the period of evaluation to cumulatively adjust past recognition and ending deferred revenue. Under our deferred revenue methodology, an increase in membership attrition rates will result in an increase in revenue in the period of adjustment as it is determined that amounts previously deferred to future periods of membership no longer need to be deferred. Alternatively, a decrease in membership attrition rates can reduce membership services revenue as it is determined that amounts previously considered earned are required to be deferred for recognition in future periods.

		Personal training and other services are provided at most of the Company’s fitness centers. Personal training services contracts are either paid-in-full at the point of origination, or are financed and collected generally over three months after an initial payment. Collections related to paid-in-full personal training services contracts are deferred and recognized as personal training services are rendered. Revenue related to personal training services contracts that have been financed is recognized at the later of cash receipt or the rendering of personal training services.

		Membership services revenue comprised approximately 94% and 93% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Membership services revenue is recognized at the later of when membership services fees are collected or earned. Membership services fees collected but not yet earned are included as a deferred revenue liability on the balance sheet.

2)		We generate revenue from the sales of products at our in-fitness center retail stores including Bally-branded and third-party nutritional products, juice bar nutritional drinks and fitness-related convenience products such as clothing. Revenue from product sales represented approximately 5% of total revenue for each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

3)		The balance of our revenue (approximately 1% and 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively), primarily consists of franchising revenue, guest fees and specialty fitness programs. We also generate revenue through granting concessions in our facilities to operators offering wellness-related services such as physical therapy and from sales of Bally-branded products by third-parties. Revenue from sales of in-club advertising and sponsorships is also included in this category, which we refer to as miscellaneous revenue.

Our operating costs and expenses are comprised of the following:

Membership services expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, payroll taxes, benefits, rent, real estate taxes and other occupancy costs, utilities, repairs and maintenance and supplies to operate our fitness centers and provide personal training. Also included are the costs to operate member processing and collection centers, which provide contract processing, member relations, billing and collection services.

2)		Retail products expenses consist primarily of the cost of products sold as well as the payroll and related costs of dedicated retail associates.

3)		Advertising expenses consist of our marketing department, media and production and advertising costs to support fitness center membership growth as well as the growth of our brand.

4)		General and administrative expenses include costs relating to our centralized support functions, such as information technology, accounting, treasury, human resources, procurement, real estate and development and senior management. General and administrative also includes professional services costs such as legal, consulting and auditing as well as expenses related to various accounting investigations.

5)		Depreciation and amortization expenses represent primarily the depreciation on our fitness centers, including amortization of leasehold improvements. Owned buildings and related improvements are depreciated over 5 to 35 years and leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the remaining noncancelable lease terms. In addition, equipment and furnishings are depreciated over 5 to 10 years.

We evaluate the results of our fitness centers on a two-tiered segment basis (comparable and noncomparable) depending on how long the fitness centers have been open at the measurement date. We include a fitness center in comparable fitness center revenues beginning on the first day of the 13^th full calendar month of the fitness center’s operation, prior to which time we refer to the fitness center as an a non-comparable fitness center and, therefore, an element of noncomparable revenue.

We measure performance using key operating statistics such as profitability per club, per area and per region. We also evaluate average revenue per member and fitness center operating expenses, with an emphasis on payroll and occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. We use fitness center cash contribution and cash revenue to evaluate overall performance and profitability on an individual fitness center basis. In addition, we focus on several membership statistics on a fitness center-level and system-wide basis. These metrics include new membership sales, growth of fitness center membership base and growth of system-wide members, fitness center number of workouts per month, fitness center membership sales mix among various membership types and member retention.

Our primary sources of cash are enrollment fees, paid-in-full and monthly membership fees and dues payments made by our members and sales of products and services, primarily personal training. Because enrollment fees, membership fees and monthly membership dues are recognized over the later of when such payments are collected or earned, cash received from membership fees and monthly membership dues will often be received before such payments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Our primary capital expenditures relate to the construction of new fitness centers and upgrading and expanding our existing fitness centers. The construction and equipment costs for a new fitness center approximates $3.5 million, on average, which varies based on the costs of construction labor, as well on the planned service offerings and size and configuration of the facility and on the market.

Most of our operating costs are relatively fixed, but compensation costs, including sales compensation costs, are variable based on membership origination and personal training sales trends. Because of the large pool of relatively fixed operating costs and the minimal incremental cost of carrying additional members, increased membership origination and better membership retention lead ultimately to increased profitability. Accordingly, we are focusing on member acquisition and member retention as key objectives.

We believe we are well positioned to benefit from continued growth in club membership, which, according to the IHRSA’s Industry Data Survey of the Health and Fitness Club Industry, increased 4.8% in 2004. Increased competition, however, including competition from very small fitness centers (less than 3,000 square feet), will require us to continue to reinvest in our facilities to remain competitive. Furthermore, price discounting by competitors, particularly in more competitive markets, may negatively impact our membership growth and/or our average revenue per member. Our principal strategies are to improve member origination and retention by enhancing customer service, promoting and improving our products and services and improving operating efficiencies. We believe the BYOM program provides a unique opportunity to combine a customized membership offering with this expanded service philosophy.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and include accounting policies we believe are appropriate to report accurately and fairly our operating results and financial position. We apply those accounting principles and policies in

a consistent manner from period to period. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions at a specific point in time that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily obtainable from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies and estimates that can have a significant impact on the operating results, financial position and footnote disclosures of the Company are described in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) Average monthly membership revenue recognized per member represents membership revenue recognized for the period divided by three, divided by the average number of members for the period. The average number of members for the period is derived by dividing the sum of the total members outstanding at the beginning and end of each quarter by two.

Summary of revenue recognition method

The Company’s strategy is to grow the number of members by continued new member acquisition and improve retention. The Company also intends to grow its product and services revenue, as well as personal training.

The Company’s sources of membership revenue include health club memberships and personal training services. As a general principle, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred and services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company relies upon a signed contract between the Company and the customer as the persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. Delivery of health club services extends throughout the term of membership. Delivery of personal training services occurs when individual personal training sessions have been rendered.

The Company receives membership fees and monthly dues from its members. Membership fees, which customers often finance, become customer obligations upon contract execution and after a “cooling off” period of three to fifteen calendar days depending on jurisdiction, while monthly dues become customer obligations on a month-to-month basis as services are provided. Membership fees and monthly dues are recognized at the later of when collected or earned.

Membership fees and monthly dues collected but not earned are included in deferred revenue. The majority of members commit to a membership term of between 12 and 36 months. The majority of these contracts are 36 month contracts. Contracts generally include a member’s right to renew the membership at a discount compared to the payments made during the initial membership term.

Additional members may be added to the primary joining members’ contract. These additional members may be added as obligatory members that commit to the same membership term as the primary member, or nonobligatory members that can discontinue their membership at any time.

Membership revenue is earned on a straight-line basis over the longer of the contractual term or the estimated membership term. Membership life is estimated at time of contract execution based on historical trends of actual attrition, and these estimates are updated quarterly to reflect actual membership retention. The Company’s estimates of membership life were up to 360 months during 2005 and 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the weighted average membership life for members that commit to a membership term of between 12 and 36 months is 39 months. Members with these terms that finance their initial membership fee have a weighted average membership life of 37 months, while those members that pay their membership fee in full at point of sale have a weighted average membership life of 56 months. Because of the discount in monthly payments made during the renewal term when compared to payments made in the initial contractual term, the estimate of membership term impacts the amount of revenue deferred in the obligatory period.

Cash collected for membership revenue is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over periods based on expected member attrition and cash collection patterns using historical trends, with the vast majority of membership revenue being recognized over six years or less. As a result, membership revenue recognized in the current period is largely attributable to the amortization of previously deferred cash receipts from prior periods. Decreasing attrition will result in more cash collected, but will also result in an increase in the amortization period. Increasing attrition, on the other hand, would decrease cash collected but accelerate the recognition of deferred revenue. We monitor actual retention and cash collection patterns and record any adjustments necessary to reflect the impact of changes in such patterns on a quarterly basis. Revenue recognized during a period reflects cash collected during prior periods and, to a lesser extent, cash collected in the current period. As a result, management considers both the cash collected for membership services as well as the revenue recognized in evaluating the Company’s results of operations.

Members in the non-obligatory renewal period of membership can cancel their membership prior to their monthly or annual due date. Membership revenue from members in renewal includes monthly dues paid to maintain their membership, as well as amounts paid during the obligatory period that have been deferred as described above, to be recognized over the estimated term of membership, including renewal periods.

Month-to-month members may cancel their membership prior to their monthly due date. Membership revenue for these members is earned on a straight-line basis over the estimated member life. Member life is currently estimated at between 4 and 41 months, with an average of 15 months, for month-to-month members. Management believes that month-to-month memberships have become more appealing to those consumers who are willing to pay more, and do not want to be locked into a long-term obligation.

Personal training services are generally provided shortly after payment is received by the Company, which results in a relatively low and constant deferred revenue liability balance. As a result, personal training revenues recognized are relatively consistent with the level of cash received.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

Our operations are subject to seasonal factors and, therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. All previously reported amounts from the statement of operations and balance sheet have been reclassified in accordance with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 144.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $255.2 million compared to $253.8 million in 2005, an increase of $1.4 million (1%). The increase in total revenue resulted from the following:

	•		Membership revenue recognized increased to $208.8 million from $207.1 million in 2005, an increase of $1.7 million (1%) from the prior year period. In the current year, a 1% decrease in average number of members to 3.598 million members and a decrease in the number of health clubs was offset by an increase in the average monthly membership revenue per member to $19.34 from $18.99.

	•		Cash collections of membership revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $200.6 million, a decrease of $6.4 million (3%) from 2005. This decrease is the result of a decrease in advance payments of dues and membership fees and a decrease in cash received from initial term monthly payments as more members select value plan and month-to-month memberships.

	•		Personal training revenue increased to $30.9 million from $29.1 million in 2005, an increase of $1.8 million (6%), primarily reflecting the Company’s emphasis on growth in personal training services and expansion of new programs such as small group training.

	•		Retail products revenue decreased to $11.9 million from $13.3 million in 2005, a decrease of $1.4 million (11%), due primarily to the conversion of lower performing full size in-club retail stores to a more efficient, but lower sales model integrated with the front desk operation.

	•		Miscellaneous revenue decreased to $3.6 million from $4.3 million in 2005, primarily due to lower revenue from income producing strategic partnerships and franchising fees.

Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $236.9 million compared to $230.7 million during 2005, an increase of $6.2 million (3%). This increase resulted from the following:

	•		Membership services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $3.5 million (2%) from 2005, reflecting increases in occupancy and insurance costs offset by a reduction in personnel costs as a result of the Company’s cost reduction initiatives. In addition, in March 2006, the Company sold an under performing health club in Canada for a gain of approximately $0.9 million.

	•		Retail products expenses, which included labor costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased $1.8 million (14%) from 2005, primarily as a result of the conversion of some stores to an integrated model and a decrease in retail sales in the Company’s fitness centers.

	•		Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $1.8 million (11%) from 2005, primarily from a planned increase in media spending and the impact of deferred production costs from the fourth quarter of 2005.

	•		Information technology expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased $0.2 million (4%) from 2005 primarily as a result of reduced use of outside consultants partially offset by increased internal salaries.

	•		Other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $3.6 million (28%) from 2005, primarily as a result of costs incurred in connection with the proxy solicitation, restructuring and ongoing investigations and litigation related to the restatement of the Company’s financial statements and an increase in insurance, Directors’ fees and audit costs.

	•		Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased $0.7 million from 2005, reflecting a reduction in capital expenditures in prior periods.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 decreased $4.8 million to $18.3 million as compared to the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to increases in membership services and other general and administrative expenses as described above, partially offset by an increase in membership revenue.

We generally expect changes in variable operating expenses to track the changes in net revenue (also excluding the sale of Crunch Fitness). Accordingly, expenses expected to be lower than previous levels include payroll and related costs, reflecting lower staffing levels on average than we have experienced. Overall, approximately 70% of our expenses (primarily rent, utilities, maintenance and other occupancy related costs) are fixed in nature and do not vary with member or revenue levels. The balance of our expenses are variable and we have the ability to vary both the amount and timing of such expenses. We have changed the phasing and amount of planned expenses in the past and will likely do the same in the future.

Financial Condition

Our consolidated assets of $452.1 million as of March 31, 2006 reflects a decrease of $28.0 million from December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to:

	•		a decrease in assets held for sale of $40.2 million resulting from the sale of Crunch Fitness (however, $30 million of the proceeds of the sale of such assets was used to make a repayment under the term loan of the Credit Agreement);

	•		a $3.6 million decrease in property and equipment. Capital expenditures of $11.6 million include a scheduled replacement of exercise equipment. The Company will continue a controlled capital spending program reflective of its limited capital resources;

	•		an increase in deferred financing costs of $21.1 million primarily resulting from the consent solicitation; and

	•		a decrease in prepaid expenses of $2.4 million primarily from a decrease in prepaid advertising.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes the Company’s liquidity (in millions):


					Change from
	March 31, 2006		December 31, 2005		previous year
Cash and equivalents	$	16.0	$	17.5	$	(1.5	)
Undrawn revolving credit facility		60.9		51.4		9.5

Total liquidity	$	76.9	$	68.9	$	8.0

The Company’s liquidity improved by $8.0 million during the period as a result of $10 million of the Crunch Fitness sale proceeds that were not required to be used to repay term debt pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The Company requires operating cash flows to fund its capital spending and working capital requirements. We maintain a substantial amount of debt, the terms of which require significant interest payments each year. We currently anticipate our cash flow, and availability under our $100 million revolving credit facility pursuant to our Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our expected needs for working capital and other cash requirements through the first quarter of 2007. However, our cash flows and liquidity may be negatively impacted by various items, including changes in terms or other requirements by vendors, regulatory fines penalties, settlements or adverse results in securities or other litigations, future consent payments to lenders or bondholders if required and unexpected capital requirements could negatively impact cash flows and liquidity.

The Credit Agreement will terminate if the Senior Subordinated Notes are not repaid or refinanced on or before April 15, 2007. We do not believe our cash flow and availability under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our needs in 2007 when our Senior Subordinated Notes come due. Therefore, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings. There is no assurance that funds will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If such funds are unavailable to us, we may default on our Senior Subordinated Notes, our Senior Notes, and our Credit Agreement. In addition, upon a default under our Credit Agreement, whether directly or as a result of a cross-default to other indebtedness, we will not be able to draw on the revolving credit facility and may not be able to continue to operate our business.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $5.0 million to $23.0 million as compared to the prior year, primarily due to increases in general interest rate levels and increased amortization of deferred financing costs as a result of consent fees paid to obtain waivers from bondholders and lenders of financial reporting requirements. Amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006, a $2.1 million increase over 2005.

Of our total debt outstanding of $722.6 million at March 31, 2006, approximately 51% bears interest at floating rates. This includes the effect of interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert $200 million of Senior Subordinated Notes into variable rate obligations. Our interest expense increased as a result of the rising interest rate environment and will continue to increase if interest rates continue to rise. Correspondingly, should rates decrease, we would benefit from the lower rates. Our interest expense will be favorably impacted by the $30 million reduction in our term loan from the application of the proceeds from the sale of Crunch Fitness. In March and April 2006, we paid fees to lenders and bondholders that will further increase amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Change from
	2006			2005			Previous Period
				(As restated)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	10,577		$	23,729		$	(13,152	)
Cash provided (used in) investing activities		35,787			(8,430	)		44,217
Cash used in financing activities		(47,998	)		(1,403	)		(46,595	)

Increase (decrease) in cash	$	(1,634	)	$	13,896		$	(15,530	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 represented a decrease of $13.2 million from $23.7 million in the 2005 period. Cash received from memberships decreased $6.4 million in the current year period compared to the prior year period. Increases in operating costs, principally occupancy and insurance, and higher audit and professional fees, including costs associated with the proxy solicitation in January 2006, also negatively impacted net cash provided by operating activities in the current year period. In addition, the Company continues to incur costs associated with ongoing litigation and investigations (net of insurance proceeds).

Investing Activities and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $35.8 million in the first quarter 2006 compared to $8.4 million used in 2005, as a result of gross proceeds of $45 million from the sale of Crunch Fitness offset by capital expenditures of $11.6 million which included a scheduled replacement of exercise equipment. We opened a club in Carrollton (Dallas), Texas in April 2006. Three clubs currently in development are planned for opening later in 2006 (two replace existing clubs), four are planned to open in 2007 (three replace existing clubs) and two during 2008 (both replace existing clubs). The Company expects to continue controlled capital spending and is currently planning $35 to $40 million of capital spending in 2006. These expenditures maintain our clubs at levels needed to attract and retain members.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.4 million in 2005. Net repayments under the Credit Agreement in 2006 were $43.6 million higher than in 2005 reflecting the application of the proceeds from the sale of Crunch Fitness, of which $30 million was used to repay the term loan. Debt issuance and refinancing costs increased by $2.5 million compared to prior year attributable to the fees paid for the Third Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement.

Dividend and Other Commitments

We have remaining authorization to repurchase up to 820,400 shares of our common stock on the open market from time to time. The terms of our Credit Agreement generally do not allow us to repurchase common stock or pay dividends without lender approval. We do not expect to repurchase any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate any in the future.

Debt

Credit Agreement

On October 14, 2004, we entered into a credit agreement with a group of financial institutions led by JPMorgan Chase Bank that provides for a five-year $175 million term loan in addition to the existing $100 million revolving credit facility that expires in June 2008. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all the Company’s real and personal property, including member obligations under installment contracts. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that include certain interest coverage and leverage ratios, and restrictions on use of funds; additional indebtedness; incurring liens; certain types of payments (including, without limitation, capital stock dividends and redemptions, payments on existing indebtedness and intercompany indebtedness); incurring or guaranteeing debt; capital expenditures; investments; mergers, consolidations, sales and acquisitions; transactions with subsidiaries; conduct of business; sale and leaseback transactions; incurrence of judgments; changing fiscal year; and financial reporting, all subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement will terminate on April 15, 2007 in the event that the Senior Subordinated Notes have not been refinanced on or before that date. As provided for in the Credit Agreement, all of our financial reporting to the lenders, including for the period ended March 31, 2006, will be prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. On March 30, 2006, the Company entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver to the Credit Agreement discussed below under Consent Solicitations. At March 31, 2006, there was $25.0 million borrowed and $14.1 million in letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At May 31, 2006, there was $39.5 million borrowed and $14.1 million in letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility and the outstanding balance on the term loan was $143.3 million, reflecting a $30 million mandatory repayment from the proceeds of the Crunch Fitness sale.

Consent Solicitations

On March 14, 2006, we announced that we would not meet the March 16, 2006 deadline for filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 with the SEC. Although the delay in filing resulted in defaults of the financial reporting covenants under the indentures governing our Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes, it did not constitute an event of default without delivery of a notice of default and expiration of a 30-day cure period. A cross-default under our Credit Agreement would have occurred 10 days after receipt of such notice. Additionally, a default would also have occurred under the Credit Agreement if we did not deliver audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to the lenders hereunder by March 31, 2006.

On March 24, 2006, we announced that we would seek waivers of the defaults of the financial reporting covenants under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes through a consent solicitation, which was commenced on March 27, 2006. In connection with the consent solicitation, we entered into agreements with approximately 53% of the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes to consent to the requested waivers.

On March 30, 2006, we entered into the Third Amendment and Waiver with the lenders under our Credit Agreement that modified the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense,” modified permitted dispositions, clarified the definition of “Banking Day,” extended the time for delivering the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until July 10, 2006, extended the time for delivering the unaudited financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 until September 11, 2006 with an option to elect to extend until October 11, 2006, permitted payment of the consent fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes and excluded fees and expenses incurred in connection with the consent solicitation from the computation of financial covenants.

On April 10, 2006, we completed the consent solicitations to amend the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes to waive any default arising under the financial reporting covenants from a failure to timely file financial statements with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the quarter ended March 31, 2006 through July 10, 2006, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 through September 11, 2006, with an option to elect to extend through October 11, 2006.

In connection with these consents, we issued 1,956,195 shares of unregistered common stock and paid $0.8 million in fees to the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes, paid the lenders under the Credit Agreement $2.5 million in fees and recorded $22 million in deferred finance charges as of March 31, 2006. Additionally, on April 11, 2006, the Company entered into stock purchase agreements (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) to sell 400,000 shares of unregistered common stock to each of Wattles Capital Management, LLC and investment funds affiliated with Ramius Capital Group, L.L.C. Proceeds of $5.6 million from the sales of Common Stock were used to fund: (i) the cash portion of the consent fees paid to holders to the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Notes and related expenses; (ii) fees and expenses relating to the Credit Agreement amendment and waiver; and (iii) additional working capital.

On June 23, 2006, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which extends the 10 day period to 28 days after which a cross-default will occur upon receipt of any financial reporting covenant default notice under the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes or Senior Notes for the third quarter of 2006. The Company paid the lenders under the Credit Agreement fees of $0.5 million in connection with the Fourth Amendment.

We are in the process of implementing new accounting processes and technologies designed to shorten the time required to prepare and file our financial statements. In addition, as described above, while we have secured additional time to file our second quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a default under the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, and to file our third quarter financial statements with the SEC without causing a cross-default under our Credit Agreement, we cannot assure you that we will be able to make such filings within the extended time periods. Failure to do so will lead to further defaults under the indebtedness and the Credit Agreement and could require us to seek additional consents from our bondholders and lenders.

Other Secured Debt

The Company’s unrestricted Canadian subsidiary was not in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement at March 31, 2006. As a result, the outstanding amount of $1.0 million has all been classified as current. On May 31, 2006, there was $0.8 million outstanding.

On March 31, 2006, the Company was not in compliance with two credit agreements with the same lender. These agreements represented debt of restricted subsidiaries in the amount of $3.1 million and debt of an unrestricted subsidiary in the amount of $1.7 million. On April 13, 2006, these agreements were amended and the Company was in compliance. As the Company was in compliance as of the date of filing this Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2006, no additional amounts have been classified as current.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Pursuant to the sale of Crunch Fitness, the Company remained liable on certain leases and/or lease guarantees. See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Guarantees.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 155”). This statement simplifies accounting for certain hybrid instruments currently governed by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), or SFAS No. 155, by allowing fair value remeasurement of hybrid instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement also eliminates the guidance in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” which provides such beneficial interests are not subject to SFAS No. 133. This statement amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” (“SFAS No. 140”) by eliminating the restriction on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. This statement is effective for financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the fiscal year 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Interest Rate Risk and Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in the interest rates on certain of its outstanding debt. The outstanding loan balance under its bank credit facility bears interest at variable rates based upon prevailing short-term interest rates in the United States and Europe. Based on the average outstanding balance of these variable rate obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a 100 basis point change in rates would have changed interest expense by approximately $0.5 million for the three month period.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the fixed interest commitment on $200 million of outstanding principal on the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes was swapped for a variable rate commitment based on the LIBOR rate plus 6.01% (11.15% at March 31, 2006). A 100 basis point change in the interest rate on the portion of the debt subject to the swap would have changed interest expense by approximately $0.5 million for the three month period.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company has operations in Canada, which are denominated in local currency. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to the risk of future currency exchange rate fluctuations, which are accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity until realized. Therefore, changes from reporting period to reporting period in the exchange rates between the Canadian currency and the U.S. dollar have had and will continue to have an impact on the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of stockholders’ equity reported by the Company, and such effect may be material in any individual reporting period. In addition, exchange rate fluctuation will have an impact on the U.S. dollar value realized from the settlement of intercompany transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

This Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures should be read in conjunction with Item 9A Controls and Procedures included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC on June 27, 2006.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and principal financial officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our PEO and PFO, has completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Based on our evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which included consideration of certain material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and our inability to file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the statutory time period, our management, including our PEO and PFO, concluded that as of March 31, 2006, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of the material weaknesses, in 2005 and 2006 we implemented additional analyses and procedures to ensure that the financial statements we issue are prepared in accordance with GAAP and are fairly presented in all material respects. The Company has performed the additional analyses and procedures with respect to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, we believe that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

No changes in the period ended March 31, 2006; see Item 9A-Controls and Procedures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of controls and procedures for the Company.
