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, 2003.
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2004.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 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$186,469 and HK$194,107
as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004. Besides, the Group has
incurred losses of HK$44,968 in the year ended December 31,2003 and
HK$9,275 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. 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 obtaining 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. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no new accounting pronouncements for which adoption is
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.

6. DUE FROM A RELATED COMPANY
The amount due from Williluck International Limited is unsecured, interest-free
and has no fixed repayment terms. The connected directors are Mr. Luk Ngai Keung
and Ms. Ho Yuk Wah.
7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company imported beauty products from suppliers in Hong Kong into the PRC
for beauty treatment and sales to its customers. Under the prevailing PRC rules
and regulations governing imports into the PRC, the Company is required to make
import declarations and to pay various taxes including, inter alia, customs
duty, consumption tax and value-added tax, on such imports. The Company faced
further penalty, additional to the original amount of taxes payable, ranging
from 50% to 500% of of the original amount of taxes payable, had the Company
been found in breach of any of such rules and regulations.
As of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, the Company is potentially liable to
make good in aggregate an amount of HK$12,388, of which an amount of HK$6,728
has been provided for in both balance sheet dates as Taxes Other Than Income and
as Other Receivables in the liabilities and assets respectively. No further
provision has been made for the difference and any potential amount of penalty
which might be imposed. In this respect, the directors are of the opinion that
the probability that such potential liabilities will be crystallized would be
remote.

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 seventeen facilities:
thirteen in Hong Kong and four in China (including one in Macau). In addition,
the Company is appointed by an outside investor to manage a fitness and spa
center in Hang Zhou, 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 100,000 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.
-7-
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 services, the customers may purchase single
treatment, 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$400 (US$51) to HK$15,000 (US$1,923).
The following table sets forth selected income data as a percentage of
total operating revenue for the periods indicated.

OPERATING REVENUES. The Company's operating revenues increased
7% to HK$113,551,000 (US$14,558,000) in the first quarter of 2004 as compared
to HK$105,765,000 (US$13,560,000) of the same period last year.
Operating revenues derived by the Company's fitness services decreased
3% to HK$61,212,000 (US$7,848,000) compared to HK$62,893,000 (US$8,063,000) of
last year. Fitness revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 54% in the
first quarter of 2004 as compared to 59% in the first quarter of 2003.
Operating revenues from the Company's beauty treatment business totaled
HK$52,250,000 (US$6,699,000) compared to HK$42,872,000 (US$5,496,000) of last
year, representing an increase of 22%. Beauty treatment revenues as a percentage
of total revenues increased from 41% to 46% in the first quarter of 2004 as

OPERATING EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses for the first
quarter of 2004 totaled HK$121,955,000 (US$15,635,000) compared to
HK$113,449,000 (US$14,545,000) in 2003, representing an increase of 7%. Total
operating expenses, after taking into account all corporate expenses, were 107%
of total operating revenue in the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.The
increase was mainly due to additional expenses incurred by the Citylink, Shatin
center which has not yet commenced operation in the corresponding period of last
year.
TOTAL NON-OPERATING EXPENSES. Total non-operating expenses for the
first quarter of 2004 totaled HK$1,071,000 (US$138,000) compared to HK$1,492,000
(US$191,000) in 2003. This represents a decrease of 28% mainly due to lower
interest expenses.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. No provision for income taxes was made for
the first quarter of 2004 as a result of losses incurred.
NET LOSS. The Company has suffered a net loss of HK$9,275,000
(US$1,189,000) for the first quarter of 2004, compared to a net loss of
HK$9,662,000 (US$1,239,000) for 2003, representing a decrease of 4%. Management
believes that the bottom line will improve in the next quarter when the deferred
income is gradually recognized. There is an increase of HK$29,362,000
(US$3,764,000) in the provision of deferred income for the first quarter of
2004.

(US$814,000) and HK$11,022,000 (US$1,413,000) for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Company's operating activities are
historically financed by cash flows from operations. Net cash used in investing
activities were HK$5,737,000 (US$736,000) and HK$12,315,000 (US$1,579,000) for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 respectively, primarily as
a result of expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Net cash (used in)
provided by financing activities, which mainly include proceeds from bank loans,
net interest and repayment, were HK$(265,000) (US$(34,000)) and HK$1,578,000
(US$202,000) in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2004,
respectively.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, 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 5.57% to 6.65% per annum. The
total balance outstanding as of March 31, 2004 on such loans was HK$9,092,000
(US$1,165,000). The last repayment on the loans is due in 2007. 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, Physical
Health Centre (E House) Limited, and Physical Health center (TST) Limited) and
personal guarantees from Mr. Luk, respectively.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company
purchased marketable securities of HK$990,000 (US$127,000). The Company have no
other material purchases of investments during the period under review.
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 March 31, 2004, was
HK$9,731,000 (US$1,248,000). These trade receivables are mainly amounts due from
major credible banks and the history of credit loss from these banks are none.
Capital expenditure for Fiscal Year 2003, and the three-month period
ended March 31, 2004, were HK$46,159,000 (US$5,918,000) and HK$1,822,000
(US$234,000) respectively.
And as mentioned in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has
negative working capital and net loss. The Principal Stockholder has undertaken
to make available adequate funds to the Company as and when required to maintain
the Company as a going concern. In this connection, the Principal Stockholder
agrees to inject funds and realize his net worth assets to support the Company
as and when required. Accordingly, 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Besides the accounting policies as described in note 3 to the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, the management considers that
the Group has not adopted any other critical accounting policies.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The operations of the Company are located in Hong Kong and the PRC and most of
the operating revenues are earned in these two areas. Therefore the Company is
not exposed to risks relating to fluctuating currencies or exchange rates.
Besides, the Company has not purchased options or entered into swaps or forward
or futures contracts. The primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate
risk on borrowings that the Company may have under some future credit facility.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with participation of the Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on
the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have
concluded that disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their
knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Subsequent to the date of

controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls,
