NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information. They should be read in conjunction
with the annual financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management,
the interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of
the results for interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the year ending December 31, 2002.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 to
conform to the presentation used in 2002. Such reclassifications had no effect
on net earnings or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

NOTE 2. NOTE PAYABLE

The Company maintains a credit agreement with Coast Business Credit for a $5.0
million working capital facility which expires in July 2003. The facility bears
interest at the prime rate plus 3.0% with a minimum rate of 9.0% (effective rate
of 9.0% at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001). The Company is required to
pay minimum monthly interest equal to the effective rate times $2.5 million.
Available credit under the loan is based upon certain profitability and cash
collection multiples and was approximately $1,135,000 at September 30, 2002.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets. Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial
covenants that measure net worth, interest coverage and debt capacity. At
September 30, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with the covenant that
requires the Company to maintain a certain minimum tangible net worth. The
tangible net worth covenant requires the inclusion of the profit and loss effect
related to the recognition of deferred tax benefits, but excludes the balance
sheet effect of the deferred tax asset.

On October 31, 2002, the Company entered into an annual renewable, revolving
line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (the
"Merrill Loan") to refinance the Company's working capital facility with Coast
Business Credit. The maximum funds available on the Merrill Loan are the lesser
of i.) $2,750,000, or ii.) 80% of the Company's trade accounts receivable less
than 90 days old. The Merrill Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 2.35%
plus the One-Month LIBOR rate, or 4.09% at October 31, 2002. Borrowings under
the Merrill Loan are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The
Company is also required to comply with certain quarterly financial covenants,
including covenants related to the Company's minimum tangible net worth, total
liabilities to tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes were calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's
effective tax rate. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
include benefits realized from a $1,875,900 reduction of the Company's deferred
tax asset valuation allowance and a $30,000 federal tax refund related to the
enactment of the 2002 economic stimulus bill. These benefits are offset by
$259,200 of income tax expense, which includes the recognition of federal and
state income taxes owing on taxable income, as well as management's estimate of
minimum state and federal taxes due because of alternative minimum tax
calculations. The reduction of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation
allowance is based upon the Company's estimate of future taxable income. Based
upon the Company's current assessment of future profitability, the Company
expects to recognize its remaining deferred tax valuation allowance of $625,000
by December 31, 2002.

NOTE 4. SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

Effective January 2001, the Company sold its subsidiary, International Fitness
Club Network ("IFCN"). The subsidiary was in the business of organizing and
maintaining a network of commercial fitness and health clubs and marketing
memberships in such clubs to employers and insurance companies. The Company
received $425,000 and recorded a gain on sale of approximately $229,000.

NOTE 5. LEASE COMMITMENT

Effective November 1, 2002, the Company amended its corporate office lease.
Under the amended lease, the Company moved its corporate headquarters to a new
office in the same building complex, and extended the term of the lease through
October 31, 2007. In addition to base rental payments, the lease requires the
Company to pay its proportionate share of real estate taxes, special
assessments, and maintenance costs. Approximate minimum rent payments under this
lease are as follows:

Total minimum rent payments under the Company's current office lease was
approximately $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

NOTE 6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND LEGISLATION

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business Combinations," SFAS 142, "Goodwill and
Intangible Assets," SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and
SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business
combinations and requires intangible assets acquired in business combinations to
be recorded separately from goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not affect
the Company's consolidated financial position or statement of earnings.

SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
with indefinite lives and requires that these assets be tested for impairment
annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises using the two step
impairment test outlined in SFAS 142. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company
discontinued the amortization of goodwill.

The first step of the goodwill impairment test, which must be completed within
six months of the effective date of SFAS No. 142, will identify potential
goodwill impairment. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, which must
be completed prior to the issuance of the annual financial statements, will
measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. The Company completed
step one of the transitional goodwill impairment test, and determined that no
potential impairment exists at June 30, 2002. The Company determined that its
goodwill relates to one reporting unit for purposes of impairment testing and
elected to complete the impairment test of goodwill annually on December 31,
2002.

The pro forma effect of adopting SFAS 142 on net earnings and net earnings per
share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to actual
results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 is noted on the
following page:

F-5

Amortization expense of other intangible assets totaled $33,688 and $57,900 for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, and totaled $149,486 and
$173,695 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Amortization
expense for the succeeding years is expected to be as follows:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS 145 streamlines the reporting
of debt extinguishments and requires that only gains and losses from
extinguishments meeting the criteria in Accounting Policies Opinion 30 will be
classified as extraordinary. Thus, gains and losses arising from extinguishments
that are part of a company's recurring operations will not be reported as an
extraordinary item. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002 with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company has chosen not to
early-adopt SFAS No. 145. We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have
a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and processing
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the
liability is incurred versus the date a company commits to an exit plan. In
addition, SFAS No. 146 states the liability should be initially measured at fair
value. The requirements of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We believe the adoption
of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(the "Act"), which immediately impacts Securities and Exchange Commission
registrants, public accounting firms, lawyers and securities analysts.
This legislation is the most comprehensive since the passage of the Securities
Acts of 1933 and 1934. It has far reaching effects on the standards of integrity
for corporate management, board of directors, and executive management.
Additional disclosures, certifications and procedures will be required of the
Company. We do not expect any material adverse effect on the Company as a result
of the passage of this legislation; however, the full scope of the Act has not
yet been determined. The Act provides for additional regulations and
requirements of publicly traded companies, which have yet to be issued.

Refer to management's certifications contained elsewhere in this report
regarding the Company's compliance with Sections 302 and 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL. Health Fitness Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"), provides fitness and wellness management services and programs to
corporations, hospitals, communities and universities located in the United
States and Canada. Fitness and wellness management services include the
development, marketing and management of corporate, hospital and community based
fitness centers, injury prevention and work-injury management consulting, and
on-site physical therapy. While consumers of these services are typically
corporate employees and individuals interested in a healthy lifestyle, revenues
are generated almost exclusively through business to business, contractual
relationships.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO
THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001.

REVENUE. Revenue increased $579,000 or 9.1% to $6,935,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, from $6,356,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001. Management fees and consulting revenue increased $512,000 or 8.3%
while occupational health services revenue increased $67,000 or 34.0%. These
increases are attributed to the addition of new contracts in our current lines
of business and the expansion of existing contracts.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $99,000 or 6.5% to $1,420,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, from $1,519,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. This decrease in gross profit is primarily due to higher
direct costs to manage certain contracts.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income decreased $69,000 or 21.4% to $254,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $323,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. Operating income was affected by a decrease in gross
profit, an increase in salary expense, and a decrease in selling, general, and
administrative expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001, salary expense increased
$107,000 or 18.0% and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$137,000 or 22.80%. The increase in salary expense is primarily attributed to
additions to the sales and marketing staff and increased employee benefits
costs. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses is due to
lower contract service expenses and the adoption of SFAS 142, which eliminates
the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. The
amount of amortization expense related to goodwill in the three months ended
September 30, 2001 totaled $110,000.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $7,000 to $101,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $108,000 for the same period
in 2001. This decrease is due to decreased levels of borrowing and a lower
interest rate. The Company's cost of borrowed funds decreased from an average of
9.6% for the third quarter of 2001, to 9.0% for the third quarter of 2002.

INCOME TAXES. Income taxes on a net basis decreased $642,000 to a benefit of
$627,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to an expense of
$15,000 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to a $625,000
reduction of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The reduction
of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance is based upon the
Company's estimate of future taxable income. The Company will continue to
evaluate its results of operations and estimated future taxable income to
determine when the remaining deferred tax valuation allowance of $625,000 can be
reduced.

NET EARNINGS. As a result of the above, net earnings for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 increased $594,000 to $777,000, compared to net earnings of
$183,000 for the same period in 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED
TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001.

REVENUE. Revenue increased $947,000 or 4.9% to $20,309,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, from $19,362,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001. Management fee and consulting revenue increased $736,000 or 3.9% while
occupational health services revenue increased $211,000 or 37.8% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. These
increases are attributed to the addition of new contracts in our current lines
of business and the expansion of existing contracts.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased $26,000 or 0.6% to $4,348,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, from $4,374,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This decrease in gross profit is primarily due to higher
direct costs to manage certain contracts.

OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
decreased $63,000 to $996,000, a 5.9% decrease from $1,059,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. This decrease in operating income is primarily
attributed to the decrease in gross profit, an increase in salary expense of
$449,000, offset by a decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses
of $412,000. The increase in salary expense is primarily attributed to additions
to the sales and marketing staff and increased employee benefits costs. The
decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses is due to lower
contract service expenses and the adoption of SFAS 142, which eliminates the
amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. The amount
of amortization expense related to goodwill in the nine months ended September
30, 2001 totaled $327,000.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $56,000 to $299,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $355,000 for the same period
in 2001. This decrease is due to decreased levels of borrowing and a lower
interest rate. The Company's cost of borrowed funds decreased from an average of
10.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to 9.0% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. The gain on sale of subsidiary for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 relates to the sale of the Company's IFCN subsidiary in
January 2001.

INCOME TAXES. Income taxes on a net basis decreased $1,705,000 to a benefit of
$1,647,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to an expense
of $58,000 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to a
$1,876,000 reduction of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance, a
federal income tax refund of $30,000, which are offset by $259,000 of income tax
expense. The reduction of the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance
is based upon the Company's estimate of future taxable income. The Company will
continue to evaluate its results of operations and estimated future taxable
income to determine when the remaining deferred tax valuation allowance of
$625,000 can be reduced. Based upon the Company's current assessment of future
profitability, the Company expects to recognize its remaining deferred tax
valuation allowance of $625,000 by December 31, 2002.

NET EARNINGS. As a result of the above, net earnings for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 increased $1,473,000 to $2,336,000 compared to net earnings
of $863,000 for the same period in 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains a credit agreement with Coast Business Credit for a $5.0
million working capital facility which expires in July 2003. The facility bears
interest at the prime rate plus 3.0% with a minimum rate of 9.0% (effective rate
of 9.0% at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001). Available credit under the
loan is based upon certain profitability and cash collection multiples and was
approximately $1,315,000 at September 30, 2002. Borrowings under the credit
agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
Additionally, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants that measure
net worth, interest coverage and debt capacity. At September 30, 2002, the
Company was not in compliance with the covenant that requires the Company to
maintain a certain minimum tangible net worth. The tangible net worth covenant
requires the inclusion of the profit and loss effect related to the recognition
of deferred tax benefits, but excludes the balance sheet effect of the deferred
tax asset.

4

On October 31, 2002, the Company entered into an annual renewable, revolving
line of credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. (the
"Merrill Loan") to refinance the Company's working capital facility with Coast
Business Credit. The maximum funds available on the Merrill Loan are the lesser
of i.) $2,750,000, or ii.) 80% of the Company's trade accounts receivable less
than 90 days old. The Merrill Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 2.35%
plus the One-Month LIBOR rate, or 4.09% at October 31, 2002. Borrowings under
the Merrill Loan are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The
Company is also required to comply with certain quarterly financial covenants,
including covenants related to the Company's minimum tangible net worth, total
liabilities to tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements or
transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities. Refer to the
footnotes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001 for disclosure related to the Company's "Commitments and
Contingencies."

On a short and long-term basis, the Company believes that sources of capital to
meet future obligations will be provided by cash generated through operations
and the Company's Merrill Loan. The Company does not believe that inflation has
had a significant impact on its results of its operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS 145 streamlines the reporting
of debt extinguishments and requires that only gains and losses from
extinguishments meeting the criteria in Accounting Policies Opinion 30 will be
classified as extraordinary. Thus, gains and losses arising from extinguishments
that are part of a company's recurring operations will not be reported as an
extraordinary item. SFAS 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May
15, 2002 with earlier adoption encouraged. The Company has chosen not to
early-adopt SFAS No. 145. We believe the adoption of SFAS No. 145 will not have
a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

In June 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and processing
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the
liability is incurred versus the date a company commits to an exit plan. In
addition, SFAS No. 146 states the liability should be initially measured at fair

activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We believe the adoption
of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
