5. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding. Fully diluted net income per share is
not presented as it does not differ materially from primary net income per
share.
6. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes were computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be
applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and
evaluation by management.
7. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 13, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
2,105,263 shares of its common stock to Millennium Entertainment Partners, L.P.,
("MEP"). MEP currently owns a 9.9% Partnership interest in the Reebok-Sports
Club/NY Partnership. The Company will receive $5.0 million cash, MEP's 9.9%
Partnership interest, a $2.5 million note due from the Partnership and MEP's
rights to certain accrued management fees due from the Partnership in exchange
for the newly issued shares. The Company also announced it signed a letter of
intent to jointly develop Sports Clubs in Washington D.C. and San Francisco,
California on properties currently under development by an affiliate of MEP.
Consummation of the agreements is expected in May 1997, but is subject to
certain conditions including the negotiation of leases for the Washington D.C.
and San Francisco, California Sports Clubs.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128), in February 1997 which is effective for
both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company will
adopt FAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. FAS 128 requires the presentation
of "Basic" earnings per share which represents income available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. A dual presentation of "Diluted" earnings per share will also be
required. The Diluted presentation is similar to the current presentation of
fully diluted earnings per share. FAS 128 requires restatement of all
prior-period earnings per share data presented. Management believes the adoption
of FAS 128 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q. The Company's consolidated financial statements reflect the
operations of The Sports Clubs, The Spectrum Clubs and HealthFitness
Organization of America, Inc. ("HFA"). The Reebok-Sports Club/NY was accounted
for under the equity method of accounting until December 30, 1996, at which time
the Company acquired a majority ownership position and the operations of
Reebok-Sports Club/NY were consolidated with and into the Company. The Spectrum
Club/Manhattan Beach is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The comparability of the Company's operating results, financial condition
and capital requirements is impacted by the transaction described above and the
number of clubs which the Company operates. Seasonal factors have not had a
significant effect on the Company's operating results.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 to Three Months Ended March 31,
1996
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997, were $14.1 million,
compared to $9.3 million in 1996, an increase of $4.8 million or 51.0%. The
increase resulted primarily from revenue from Reebok Sports Club/NY, which was
consolidated into the Company's revenues following the acquisition of a
controlling interest in the Club on December 30, 1996. Revenue growth from HFA
also contributed to the overall increase.
Direct operating expenses increased to $10.1 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1997, versus $5.9 million in 1996. The increase resulted
primarily from the addition of operating expenses at Reebok Sports Club/NY.
Direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 71.5% in 1997
compared to 63.8% in 1996 due to lower margins at Reebok Sports Club/NY. Newer
Clubs historically operate at lower margins until the membership base reaches a
mature level.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997, versus $1.5 million in 1996. The Company's
general and administrative costs increased by $63,000 in 1997 with the remaining
increase due to the consolidation of direct selling expenses incurred at Reebok
Sports Club/NY. These costs decreased as a percentage of revenue from 15.6% in
1996 to 11.1% in 1997. The Company was managing Reebok Sports Club/NY in 1996
and therefore, the revenue growth which resulted from consolidating this Club
was not accompanied by an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $912,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 1997, versus $616,000 in 1996. The increase is due primarily to
the addition of depreciation and amortization at Reebok Sports Club/NY. Interest
expense was $801,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, versus $657,000
in 1996. Interest expense of $150,000 at Reebok Sports Club/NY was responsible
for this increase.
9
<PAGE> 10
Equity interest in net income of unconsolidated subsidiary was $175,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 1997 versus $91,000 in 1996. The 1996 and 1997
amounts are associated with the Spectrum Club/Manhattan Beach's operations and
the increase reflects the Company's share of the improved profitability at that
Club.
The Company's net income before income taxes was $941,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, versus $693,000 in 1996. The Company's estimated
income tax rate is 38% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and 41% for
1996, resulting in a net income of $583,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, versus net income of $409,000 in 1996. The lower tax rate in 1997 results
from the reduction of valuation allowances on certain deferred income tax
assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the year ended December 31, 1996, and the three months ended March
31, 1997, the Company generated $8.1 million and $2.7 million of earnings before
interest, depreciation, amortization and income taxes, respectively. At March
31, 1997, the Company had a cash balance of $3.1 million of which $302,000 is in
a special construction account for the development of a Spectrum Club in
Valencia, California and $306,000 relates to Reebok-Sports Club/NY Partnership.
The remaining $2.5 million is available for general corporate purposes. The
Company anticipates its cash balance on hand plus cash generated from operations
and the amount available under the credit facility will be adequate to fund the
Company's current operating activities, debt service, developmental capital
requirements, and recurring capital expenditures for the next twelve months.
In connection with the acquisition of The Sports Club/Irvine, MKDG
Partners agreed to pay the Company for each of the years ending December 31,
1994, 1995 and 1996, the lesser of approximately $1.0 million or the amount by
which The Sports Club/Irvine's earnings before depreciation and the Company's
administrative overhead relating to the Club for such year is less than
approximately $2.9 million. The Company has made a claim for approximately
$687,000 in 1997 relating to the 1996 shortfall.
The Company currently owns a 50.1% interest in the Reebok-Sports Club/NY
Partnership. At March 31, 1997, the Partnership owed $3.1 million under a loan
secured by equipment and owed $4.0 million to the partners in the form of notes
payable. The Partnership is also in arrears in the payment of priority
Partnership distributions for 1996 in the amount of $1.0 million. Notes payable
in the amount of $2.5 million and the $1.0 million priority distribution are
recorded as liabilities on the Company's March 31, 1997 consolidated balance
sheet. The Reebok Sports Club/NY achieved a positive cash flow in September 1995
and has improved its operations since that date. The Club is expected to
continue to improve its operating results in the future as membership levels
increase (although no assurance as to such future increases can be given). The
future cash flows of the Partnership will first be used to satisfy the principal
and interest requirements of the equipment loan in the amount of $75,000 per
month. Additional cash flows will be used to pay the past due priority
Partnership distribution and the future priority distributions of $2.1 million
in 1997 and $3.0 million per year thereafter. The remaining future cash flows
will be returned to the partners to satisfy the notes payable, accrued
management fees and certain additional priority distributions. At March 31,
1997, these amounts total $14.4 million, of which the Company is entitled to
$8.9 million. After these amounts are paid, the Company will be entitled to
50.1% of future cash distributions.
10
<PAGE> 11
On March 13, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 2,105,263
shares of its common stock to Millennium Entertainment Partners, L.P., ("MEP").
MEP currently owns a 9.9% interest in the Partnership. The Company will receive
$5.0 million cash, MEP's 9.9% Partnership interest, a $2.5 million note due from
the Partnership and MEP's right to certain accrued management fees due from the
Partnership in exchange for the newly issued shares. Once the transaction is
consummated, the Company will be entitled to substantially all of the $14.4
million currently due to the partners for notes payable, accrued management fees
and certain additional priority distributions. These amounts will be paid as
cash flow of the Partnership is available.
The Company's long-term capital needs are to provide funds for the
retirement of existing long-term debt and to secure funds for the development of
new clubs and acquisition of existing clubs. The Company intends to continue its
efforts to pursue joint venture arrangements with strategic partners as a means
of financing the development of new clubs or enter into lease agreements for
such facilities. The Company has secured a $5.0 million credit facility with a
commercial bank. The credit facility will be available to provide funds for the
development and acquisition of new clubs and for general corporate purposes.
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company began development of a 57,000
square foot Spectrum Club in Valencia, California. The Company will own and
manage the Club operations in a building which will be leased from The Newhall
Land and Farming Company. Through March 31, 1997, the Company has deposited $1.9
million into a special construction escrow account of which $1.6 million has
been expended on the project. The Company anticipates that it will be able to
fund its remaining portion of this development, estimated to be approximately
$100,000, from operating cash flows. In August 1996, the Company announced plans
to develop a Sports Club in Houston, Texas. The Company's portion of development
costs for this Club is estimated to be $3.6 million and will be funded starting
in early 1998. In March 1997, the Company announced its intent to develop Sports
Clubs in Washington D.C. and San Francisco, California. These projects should
start near the end of 1997 or early 1998. The Company's portion of the
development costs for these Clubs is preliminarily estimated to be approximately
$10.0 million. Operating cash flow, the $5.0 million proceeds from the sale of
common stock to MEP, and the $5.0 million revolving credit facility will be
utilized to finance the Company's portion of these three developments. The
Company does not expect these Clubs to contribute significantly to revenues or
net income until 1999.
Other than as described above and for normal replacement of fitness
equipment and remodeling of clubs, the Company has no commitments for capital
expenditures. Equipment financing has generally been available under capital
lease arrangements. In 1996, the Company invested approximately $1.6 million in
capital expenditures other than those related to new club development. In the
three months ended March 31, 1997, capital expenditures, other than those
related to new club development, were $619,000. In 1996, the Company secured a
$500,000 lease facility to be used to finance capital expenditures. As of March
31, 1997, the Company had utilized approximately $158,000 of this facility.
While capital expenditures may fluctuate from time to time, generally the
Company expects to spend approximately 4% of revenues on facility and equipment
upgrades and replacements. Expansion of the Company's operations beyond existing
clubs will require expenditures above this level.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128), in February 1997 which is effective for
both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company will
adopt FAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. FAS 128 requires the presentation
of "Basic" earnings per share which represents income available to common
stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. A dual presentation of "Diluted" earnings per share will also be
required. The Diluted presentation is similar to the current presentation of
fully diluted earnings per share. FAS 128 requires restatement of all
prior-period earnings per share data presented. Management believes the adoption
of FAS 128 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements relating
to the future operations of the Company, including Reebok Sports Club/NY,
estimated development expenses for new clubs, the adequacy of the Company's cash
for its anticipated requirements, and other matters. These forward-looking
statements are based on a series of projections and assumptions regarding the
economy, other statements which are not historical facts, the Company's
operations and the sports and fitness industry in general. These projections and
assumptions involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking
statements. Furthermore, actual results may differ from projected results due to
unforeseen developments relating to demand for the Company's services and
competitive pricing trends in the health and fitness market; increased expenses;
the success of planned advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns; changes
in personnel or compensation; business interruptions resulting from earthquakes,
landlord disputes or other causes; general market acceptance of new and existing
clubs operated by the Company; changes in membership growth patterns; the
success of new products; and regulatory or legal proceedings and rulings which
might adversely affect the Company. Investors are also directed to consider
other risk and uncertainties discussed in all documents filed by the Company
with the SEC. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update any
forward-looking statements as a result of developments after the date hereof.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
THE SPECTRUM CLUB COMPANY, INC., a California corporation, v.
CENTURY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER, L. P. (Los Angeles Superior Court). In August
1995, Century City Spectrum ("CCS"), a subsidiary of the Company, closed the
Century City Spectrum Club. In connection with the bankruptcy of the landlord,
CCS's rights under the lease related to this Club were acquired by Century
Entertainment Center, L.P. ("Century"). On August 10, 1995, CCS filed an action
against Century alleging breach of the lease by the prior landlord. Century
filed a cross-complaint against CCS for rent due and against the Company as a
guarantor of CCS's obligations under the lease. The Cross-Complaint seeks in
excess of $800,000 through December 1995, rent thereafter, for the term of the
lease (which term expires on October 31, 2002), of approximately $39,000 per
month, attorneys fees and interest. The trial court ruled CCS's right of first
refusal cannot be asserted against Century. CCS's primary remaining defense is
based upon Century's obligation to re-lease the subject space. In addition, CCS
may appeal the trial court's ruling following trial. The Company is conducting
discussions with Century to settle this matter. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not be held liable for all amounts sought by
Century from CCS. Such liability would have a material, adverse effect upon the
Company.
