NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Physical Spa & Fitness Inc. ("the Company") and the
subsidiaries that it controls. The Company, through its subsidiaries,
operates fitness and spa/beauty centers in Hong Kong and China. Unless
otherwise specified in the text, references to the Company include the
Company and its subsidiaries. These 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, 2001.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
2. PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group has a negative working capital of HK$71,015 and HK$142,484 as
of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002. Besides, the Group has a
net income of HK$11,583 and a net loss of HK$13,873 for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2002. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Continuation of the group as a going concern is dependent upon
attaining profitable operations in the future, exercising tight cost
and cash flow controls measures, and seeking additional banking
facilities. In addition, the Principal Stockholder has undertaken to
make available adequate funds to the Group as and when required to
maintain the Group as a going concern. As a result, the financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with the principles
applicable to a going concern.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on Issue 01-9, "Accounting
for consideration given by a vendor to a customer or a reseller of the
vendor's products". The issue provides guidance on accounting for
certain payments made by a vendor of goods and services to a customer.
Under certain conditions, amount paid to customers are required to be
shown as a reduction in the corresponding revenues recorded from those
customers, rather than be shown as expenses in the income statement.
EITF 01-9 is generally effective for fiscal years or interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2001. Since January 1, 2002, the
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
EITF 01-9. Upon adoption by the Group since January 1, 2002, sales
rebates incurred were accounted for as a reduction in the corresponding
revenues instead of being included in other selling and administrative
expenses. In addition, the sales rebates incurred have been deferred in
synchronization with the deferral of revenue in accordance with the
Group's accounting policy. As a result, deferred income for the current
quarter have been increased by HK$2,213 while expenses have been
reduced by HK$1,030 and revenues have been increased by HK$2,323. In
addition, revenues and deferred income have been increased by HK$5,276
and HK$4,637 respectively while expenses have been reduced by HK$9,595
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.
Had the change in accounting for the deferral of sales rebates been
effective for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001,
revenues, expenses and deferred income would have been reduced by
HK$966, HK$2,506 and HK$1,540 respectively. In addition, revenues,
expenses and deferred income for the six-month period ended September
30, 2001 would have been reduced by HK$1,234, HK$4,581 and HK$3,347
respectively.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145: "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
Technical Corrections". This statement made revisions to the accounting
for gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt, rescinded
Statement No. 44, and required certain lease modifications that have
economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted
for in the same manner as sale- leaseback transactions. At this time,
the management believe that the adoption of this statement will not
have a material effect on the Group's consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 requires
that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal
activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This standard
nullifies the guidance of EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition
for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". Under
EITF Issue No. 94-3, an entity recognized a liability for an exit cost
on the date that the entity committed itself to an exit plan. Under
SFAS No. 146, the FASB concluded that an entity's commitment to an exit
plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties
that meets the definition of a liability. SFAS No. 146 also establishes
that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the
liability. SFAS No. 146 will be effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does
not expect that this standard will have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.

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 sixteen facilities:
twelve in Hong Kong and four in China (including one in Macau). 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
80,000 customers. 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 pre-split (6,000,000 post-split) 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's revenues are derived from its two main lines of business
of fitness and spa services in the following principal ways: admission fees and
monthly subscription fees from the fitness customers, and the sale of beauty
treatments and skin care products to the beauty patrons.
In respect to fitness services, customers are invited to purchase a
standard fitness card at a fee currently set at HK$600(US$77) for one person.
Each customer will also be charged a monthly due of HK$299 (US$38) for the
usage of the fitness centers. In order to fully utilize the facilities, the
Company grants a special offer of admission fees at HK$200 (US$26) to off-peak
customers.
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$280 (US$36) to HK$13,000 (US$1,670).
The following table sets forth selected income data as a percentage of
total operating revenue for the periods indicated.

increase of 17% as compared to HK$85,111,000 (US$10,912,000) in 2001. The

center (opened in April, 2002) and the new unisex fitness centers in Tsuen Wan
(opened in April, 2002) and Kornhill (opened in June, 2002), all of which have

(US$487,000) for the third quarter of 2002, compared to a net income of

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash
generated from operations, short-term bank credit, long-term bank loans,
advances from customers relating to prepaid fitness and spa income, and leasing
arrangements with financial institutions.
Cash and cash equivalent balances for the respective periods ended
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were HK$2,308,000 (US$296,000) and
HK$4,787,000 (US$614,000), while total indebtedness at September 30, 2002 was
HK$53,901,000 (US$6,910,000) and HK$32,022,000 (US$4,105,000) at December 31,
2001.
Net cash provided by operating activities were HK$92,074,000
(US$11,804,000) and HK$83,263,000 (US$10,673,000) for Fiscal Year 2001, and the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The Company's
operating activities are historically financed by cash flows from operations.
Net cash used in investing activities were HK$70,881,000 (US$9,087,000) and
HK$101,662,000 (US$13,032,000) for Fiscal Year 2001 and the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2002, primarily as a result of expenditures for property,
plant and equipment. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities, which
mainly include proceeds from bank loans, net interest and repayment, were
HK$(18,164,000) (US$(2,328,000))and HK$15,931,000 (US$2,042,000) in Fiscal Year
2001 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, respectively.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company has
not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or
derivative commodity instruments nor held any marketable equity securities of
publicly traded companies. Accordingly, the Company believes its exposure to
market interest rate risk and price risk is not material. The Company's
long-term loans bear interest rates varying from 5.375% to 7.625% per annum. The
total balance outstanding as of September 30, 2002 on such loans was
HK$28,246,000 (US$3,621,000). The last repayment on the loans is due in 2007.
The Company also had various banking facilities available from financial
institutions amounting to approximately HK$32,158,000 (US$4,123,000). These
facilities were secured by certain leasehold property in Hong Kong owned by the
Company's subsidiary (Ever Growth Limited) and a related company, a fixed charge
over a subsidiary's machinery and equipment and a floating charge over its other
assets (Physical Health Centre (Macau) Limited), fixed deposits and securities
owned by the Company's subsidiaries (Physical Health Centre Hong Kong Limited
and Physical Health Centre (TST) Limited), and personal guarantees from Mr. Luk,
respectively.
Consistent with the general practice of the fitness and spa industry,
the Company receives prepaid monthly fees from fitness customers, which are
non-refundable, and spa treatment dues from beauty customers. This practice
creates working capital that the Company generally utilizes for working capital
purposes. However, the unused portion of the pre-paid monthly dues and spa
treatment dues is characterized as deferred income, a liability, for accounting
purposes.
The Company's trade receivable balance at September 30, 2002, was
HK$12,293,000 (US$1,576,000). The Company has never experienced any significant
problems with collection of accounts receivable from its customers.
Capital expenditure for Fiscal Year 2001, and the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2002, were HK$65,931,000 (US$8,453,000) and HK$95,973,000
(US$12,303,000) respectively. The Company also had capital expenditure
commitments of approximately HK$7,000,000 (US$897,000) as of September 30, 2002
compared with HK$31,554,000 (US$4,045,000) as of December 31, 2001, all of which
were contracted but not provided for in the financial statements. Subsequent to
the balance sheet date of September 30, 2002, the Company has not committed
significant capital expenditure. The Company believes that cash flow generated
from its operations, the tight cost and cash flow control measures and its
existing and additional credit facilities to be sought should be sufficient to
satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least
the next 12 months. In addition, the Principal Stockholder has undertaken to
make available adequate funds to the Group as and when required to maintain the
Group as a going concern.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Besides the accounting policies as described in note 3 to the financial

its critical accounting policies include accounting for the deferral of sales
rebates as mentioned in note 3 to the financial statements as included in Item 1
above.
