area of business, and a 14.8% increase from our Health Management area of
business," said Jerry Noyce, Health Fitness Corporation CEO and President. "For
the first six months, our revenue growth of 5.2% over the same period last year

and a 16.0% increase from our Health Management area of business. We believe the
recent realignment of our business into Fitness and Health Management Services
was the right
strategic move for us. It definitely has allowed us to more closely focus on our

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
- The decrease in Fitness Management Staffing revenue for the second
quarter and year-to-date is attributed to higher-than-normal revenue
attrition from contracts that were acquired in December 2003. Since
contract attrition can be unpredictable, the Company generally does not
view short-term changes in contract revenue to be indicative of future
results, or a trend in the business. New contracts the Company secures
may take 90 to 180 days to generate full revenue. On the other hand,
many of the Company's contracts can be terminated with a 30 day notice.
Because this timing difference can temporarily sway revenue results one
way or another, the Company generally evaluates prospective revenue
trends over a 12 to 18 month period.
- Fitness Management Program Services are fee-for-service revenues we
earn at managed fitness centers for services such as personal training,
massage therapy, weight loss programs and specialty fitness classes.
The increase in this revenue category for the second quarter and
year-to-date is attributed to higher utilization of these services by
fitness center members.
- The growth of Health Management Staffing Services revenue for the
second quarter and year-to-date is due primarily to new contracts to
manage corporate wellness programs and growth of existing programs.
- Health Management Program Services include revenue derived from
providing employee health risk assessments, biometric screening
services, health data collection and management and electronic health
education platform. The increase in this revenue category for the
second quarter and year-to-date is attributed to higher utilization of
these services by existing customers as well as new customers.
- Gross profit as a percent of revenue decreased to 25.2% for the second
quarter, from 26.2% for the same period last year. This decrease is due
primarily to contract terminations and business pricing pressures. Year
to date gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 25.4%, from
25.3% for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to
lower medical costs for
full-time employees in the first quarter, which were offset by contract
terminations and business pricing pressures in the second quarter.
- Interest expense decreased $112,019 and $234,347 for the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease is primarily due to
the repayment of our 12%, $2 million Senior Subordinated Note in
December 2004.
- Long-Term Obligations decreased $1,551,014 to $22,774 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005, from $1,573,788 for the quarter ended March 31,
2005.
