1.       ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
         -------------------------------------

Physical Spa & Fitness Inc. ("the Company") a Delaware Corporation, acquired
Physical Beauty & Fitness Holdings Limited ("Physical Holdings") and Physical
Holdings' subsidiaries in October of 1996, issuing 8,000,000 shares (80% of the
Company's outstanding shares) to the shareholder of Physical Holdings ("the
Shareholder"). Physical Holdings and its subsidiaries operate fitness and beauty
centres in Hong Kong and the Peoples Republic of China ("PRC") and other related
businesses.

Physical Holdings was incorporated on March 8, 1996 under the laws of the
British Virgin Islands ("BVI") with a capital of one common share being held by
the Shareholder.

As part of the above transaction, certain shareholders of the Company also
transferred 990,000 common shares to Goodchild Investments Limited
("Goodchild"). Accordingly, the Shareholder and Goodchild became the major
shareholders of the Company. In February, 1998, Goodchild sold all its common
shares of the Company in a private transaction to a Japanese institutional
investor.

On November 27, 1996, the Company changed its name to Physical Spa & Fitness,
Inc.

The transfer of the Shareholder's interests in Physical Holdings and the
Operating Subsidiaries was a reorganization of companies under common control
and has been accounted for effectively as a pooling of interests, and the
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented as if the
Operating Subsidiaries had been owned by the Company since their date of
incorporation or acquisition by the Shareholder whichever is later.

The details of Physical Holdings and the Operating Subsidiaries and their
principal activities as of the date of this report are summarized below:

equity interest of Regent owned by a minority shareholder was acquired by the
Shareholder. All the shares owned by Physical HK and the Shareholder were then

equity interest to 92.5% by acquiring additional shares owned by a minority
shareholder.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America .
This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory financial
statements of the BVI and Hong Kong Operating Subsidiaries and the PRC joint
ventures, which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in Hong Kong and the accounting principles and the relevant financial
regulations applicable to enterprises with foreign investments as established by
the Ministry of Finance of China respectively.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         ------------------------------------------

a.       Basis of Consolidation
         ----------------------

         The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
         of the Company, its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and
         joint ventures. All material intercompany balances and transactions
         have been eliminated on consolidation.

b.       Revenue & Deferred Income
         -------------------------

         Revenue represents membership fees and service income in connection
         with the provision of physical fitness and beauty treatment services
         and other related income, net of the related sales tax, if any. Annual
         membership fees and service income and other related income are
         recognized when services are rendered. During 1996, the Company changed
         its membership policy so that the annual membership fee was replaced by
         a non-refundable membership admission fee and monthly dues. The
         admission fee is recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the
         estimated membership term whereas the monthly dues are recognized as
         revenue on a monthly basis.

         Deferred income represents membership fees, admission fees and service
         fees billed but for which the related services, or portion of the
         services, have not yet been rendered.

c.       Property, Plant and Equipment
         -----------------------------
         Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
         depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed
         using the straight line method over the assets' estimated useful lives.
         The estimated useful lives are as follows:

              Leasehold land held under long-term lease      Over the lease term
              Buildings                                           20 to 50 years
              Leasehold improvements                         Over the lease term
              Machinery and equipment                              5 to 10 years
              Furniture and fixtures                                     5 years
              Computers                                             4 to 5 years
              Motor vehicles                                        4 to 5 years

         The Group recognizes an impairment loss on a fixed asset when evidence,
         such as the sum of expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without
         interest charges), indicates that future operations will not produce
         sufficient revenue to cover the related future costs, including
         depreciation, and when the carrying amount of asset cannot be realized
         through sale. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair
         value of the assets.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Cont'd)
         ------------------------------------------

d.       Taxation: Income Taxes
         ----------------------

         No provision for withholding or U.S. federal income taxes or tax
         benefits on the undistributed earnings and/or losses of the Company and
         its Operating Subsidiaries has been provided as the earnings of the
         Operating Subsidiaries, in the opinion of the management, will be
         reinvested indefinitely.

         Provision for income and other related taxes have been provided in
         accordance with the tax rates and laws in effect in the various
         countries of operations.

         The Group provides for deferred income taxes using the liability
         method, by which deferred income taxes are recognized for all
         significant temporary differences between the tax and financial
         statement bases of assets and liabilities. The tax consequences of
         those differences are classified as current or non-current based upon
         the classification of the related assets or liabilities in the
         financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion
         of deferred tax assets that is not currently realizable, since the
         realization of these benefits depends upon the ability of the relevant
         entity to generate income in future years.

e.       Foreign Currency Translation
         ----------------------------

         The Company and its subsidiaries maintain their accounting books and
         records in Hong Kong Dollars HK$, except for the PRC Joint Ventures
         which maintain their accounting books and records in Renminbi. Foreign
         currency transactions during the year are translated in HK$ at rates of
         exchange prevailing at the time of the transactions. Monetary assets
         and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end are
         translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet
         date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates
         of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liabilty ws acquired.
         Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of
         income.

         On consolidation, the financial statements of the PRC Joint Ventures
         are translated into HK$ using the closing rate method, whereby the
         balance sheet items are translated into HK$ using the unified exchange
         rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The share capital and
         retained earnings are translated at historical unified exchange rates
         prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expense
         items are translated at the average unified exchange rates for the
         years. The resultant translation differences are recorded in the
         consolidated balance sheets as cumulative translation adjustments which
         are included as a separate account in shareholders' equity in the
         accompanying balance sheets.

3.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  (Cont'd)
         ------------------------------------------

f.       Finance Leases
         --------------
         Leases that substantially transfer to the Group all the rewards and
         risks of ownership of assets, other than legal title, are accounted for
         as finance leases.

         Fixed assets held under finance leases are initially recorded at the
         present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the
         leases, with equivalent liabilities categorized as appropriate under
         current or non-current liabilities.

         Finance charges, which represent the difference between the minimum
         lease payments at the inception of the leases and the fair value of the
         assets acquired, are allocated to accounting periods over the period of
         the relevant leases so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge
         on the outstanding balances.

g.       Operating Leases
         ----------------

         Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of
         assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases.
         Rental payments under operating leases are expensed as incurred.

h.       Related companies
         -----------------

         A related company is a company in which one or more of the directors or
         shareholders of the Company have direct or indirect beneficial
         interests.

i.       Deferred liabilities
         --------------------

         Deferred liabilities represent the benefit arose from the operating
         leases. The deferred liabilities are amortized within the lease term,
         and the amortization is recorded in the statement of income.


4.       SHORT-TERM BANK LOANS
         ---------------------
The short-term bank loans are secured and repayable within one year.


5.       LONG-TERM BANK LOANS
         --------------------

As of June 30, 1999, the Group had various banking facilities available from
financial institutions. These facilities were secured by:

(i)    leasehold property in Hong Kong owned by Evergrowth;

(ii)   leasehold property in Hong Kong owned by relatives of the Principal
       Shareholders;

(iii) leasehold property in Hong Kong owned by a related company; and

(iv)   personal guarantees from the Principal Shareholders and their relatives.

<PAGE>


6.       PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
         --------------------------

Hong Kong profits tax was provided at 16% on the assessable profits of Hong Kong
subsidiaries.

Enterprise income tax was provided at 33% on the assessable income of the
Shanghai and Dalian JVs in accordance with the relevant tax regulations of the
PRC.

The other BVI and Hong Kong Operating Subsidiaries, except Physical HK, did not
provide for any income taxes during the years as they did not have any
assessable income.

The tax impact of temporary differences between financial and taxable income
that give rise to deferred tax (assets) liabilities are related to the
accelerated depreciation allowances on fixed assets in Hong Kong.

7.       DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT
         ----------------------

In the opinion of management, any undistributed earnings of Physical Holdings
and the Operating Subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely.


8.       STOCK OPTION PLAN
         -----------------

The Company has a Stock Option Plan which was adopted by the Company's
stockholders and its Board of Directors on April 23, 1997. Under the Plan, the
Company may issue incentive stock options, non-qualified options, restricted
stock grants, and stock appreciation rights to selected directors, officers,
advisors and employees of the Company. A total of 500,000 shares of Common Stock
of the Company are reserved for issuance under the Plan. Stock options may be
granted as non-qualified or incentive options. Incentive stock options may not
be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the stock as of the
date of grant while non-qualified stock options may not be granted at a price
less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant. The
plan will be administered by an Option Committee which is to be composed of two
or more disinterested directors of the Board of Directors. The option can be
exercised during a period of time fixed by the Committee except that no may be
exercised more than ten years after the date of grant of three years after death
or disability , whichever is later. As of the date of this report, no stock
options have been granted by the Company.

Overview of Company's Business:

         The Company, through its predecessor companies and its subsidiaries,
has been an established commercial operator of fitness and spa centers in Hong
Kong and China since 1986. The Company currently operates eleven facilities:
eight in Hong Kong and three in China. Management believes that the Company is
one of the top providers of fitness facilities and spa and beauty treatment
services in Hong Kong and China, with approximately 55,000 members. The Company
offers to its customers, at each location, access to a wide range of U.S.-
styled fitness and spa services.

          The Company was incorporated on September 21, 1988 in the state of
Delaware under the name of "Foreclosed Realty Exchange, Inc", a development
stage company seeking acquisitions with no material assets or liabilities. Prior
to acquisition of Physical Beauty & Fitness Holdings Limited, a British Virgin
Islands corporation ("Physical Limited"), the Company had no revenue producing
operations, but planned to enter into joint ventures and/or acquisitions
originally in the area of real estate, to expand its operations. In October,
1996, the Company closed a transaction with Ngai Keung Luk (Serleo), a 100%
shareholder of Physical Limited, whereby the Company entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Ngai Keung Luk (Serleo), pursuant to which the Company
issued 8,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to Ngai Keung Luk (Serleo) in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Physical Limited (the "Closing").
At the Closing, the then current management of the Company resigned and was
replaced by the current management of the Company.


        The Company derives its revenues from two main lines of business:
fitness and spa services.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The Company's revenues are derived from its two main lines of business
of fitness and spa services in three principal ways: sale of memberships to
fitness facilities, monthly membership fees and the sale of beauty treatments .
The sale of beauty products and exercise clothing also contributes an
insignificant amount to the total revenues. In respect to fitness services,
customers are invited to join as a member at a fee currently set at
HK$1,000(US$129) for one person. A monthly subscription fee of HK$299 (US$39) is
charged to each customer for the usage of the fitness center and spa area.

        In respect to beauty treatments, the customers may purchase single
treatments, or in packages of ten or more treatments, with quantity discounts
available. There is a wide range of beauty treatments available at prices
ranging from HK$200 (US$26) to HK$3,000 (US$387).

        The following table sets forth selected income data as a percentage of
total operating revenue for the periods indicated.

representing the same level of the first six months of 1998.

(US$2,314,000) for Fiscal Year 1998 and the six-month period ended June 30,

         In November 1997, the Company entered into a banking facility
arrangement with Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited. The Company replaced a term
loan of HK$1,000,000 (US$129,000) with a new loan of the same amount repayable
by sixty (60) equal monthly installment payments commencing November, 1997. The
Company also obtained a new term loan in the amount of HK$2,500,000(US$322,000)
repayable in one lump sum on November 3, 1999. The loans are collectively
secured by leasehold property in Hong Kong owned by relatives of Mr. Luk. No
consideration has been paid by the Company for such security.

         In March 1999, the Company obtained a new loan from Shanghai Commercial
Bank Limited in the amount of HK$2,800,000 (US$361,000) for securing a bank
guarantee on the rental deposit in favor of the landlord of the new premises in
Hong Kong. The loan is halfly repayable by twelve (12) equal monthly
installments and halfly repayable in one lump sum on May 24, 2000. The loan is
secured by a fixed deposit in the amount of HK$2,800,000 (US$361,000) pledged by
the Company.

         In March, 1997 the Company entered into a capital lease agreement with
the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited for the purchase of
exercise equipment in the amount of HK$7,432,320 (US$958,000)for the centers in
Hong Kong. The lease is repayable in sixty (60) monthly installments, commencing
April, 1997. In May, 1997 the Company entered into a capital lease agreement
with East Asia Finance Company, Limited for the purchase of exercise equipment
in the amount of HK$7,742,000 (US$998,000) for the Hong Kong centers. The lease
is repayable in thirty (30) monthly installments, commencing May, 1997.

         The Company has revolving lines of credit with three banks - The
Kwangtung Provincial Bank, Dao Heng Bank, and Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company has utilized HK$4,585,000 (US$591,000) of these
lines of credit. The Company draws down from the lines of credit primarily for
general working capital purposes. The lines of credit contain covenants
requiring the maintenance of minimum net worth.

         Consistent with the general practice of the fitness and spa industry,
the Company receives prepaid memberships to fitness facilities, which are
non-refundable, and spa treatment dues from its customers. This practice creates
working capital that the Company generally utilizes for working capital
purposes. However, the unused portion of the pre-paid membership and spa
treatment dues is characterized as deferred income, a current liability, for
accounting purposes.

         The Company's trade receivable balance at June 30, 1999, was
HK$7,430,000 (US$957,000). The Company has never experienced any significant
problems with collection of accounts receivable from its customers.

         Capital expenditure for fiscal year 1998, and the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999, were HK$38,416,000 (US$4,951,000) and HK$18,094,000
(US$2,332,000) respectively. The Company believes that cash flow generated from
its operations and its existing credit facilities should be sufficient to
satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next 12 months.

         YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

         The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. Computer
programs that have sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage
in similar normal business activities.

         The Company underwent a system redevelopment project to improve the
efficiency of the system with respect to changing its computer programs to
properly identify a year in the year field. The new system which is year 2000
compliant was implemented by July 1, 1999.
