                           HEALTH FITNESS CORPORATION
                   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, 2003. 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
months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the year ended December 31, 2004.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business - Health Fitness Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") provide 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, community and
university-based fitness centers, injury prevention and work-injury management
consulting, and on-site physical therapy. Programs include wellness and health
programs for individual customers, including health risk assessments, nutrition
and weight loss programs, smoking cessation, massage therapy, back care and
ergonomic injury prevention.

Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash - The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions,
and at times, such balances exceed insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any
significant credit risk on cash.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable - Trade and other accounts receivable
represent amounts due from companies and individuals for services and products.
The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business, but
generally does not require collateral or any other security to support amounts
due. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers. The Company
determines its allowance for discounts and doubtful accounts by considering a
number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are
past due, the Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to
pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and
the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they
become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivable are
credited to the allowance. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade
receivables are limited due to the large number of customers and their
geographic dispersion.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation
and amortization are computed using both straight-line for book purposes and
accelerated methods for tax purposes over the useful lives of the assets.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related
costs over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The carrying
value of goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual
basis or when factors indicating impairment are present. Projected discounted
cash flows are used in assessing these assets.

                                       5



Intangible Assets - The Company's intangible assets include customer contracts,
trademark, and deferred financing costs and are amortized on a straight-line
basis. Customer contracts represent the fair value assigned to acquired
management contracts and are amortized over the remaining life of the contracts,
approximately 25-35 months. Trademark represents the value assigned to an
acquired trademark and is amortized over a period of five years. Deferred
financing costs are amortized over the term of the related credit agreement.

Cash Held In Escrow - Cash held in escrow represents the funds remaining after
payment of the purchase price for the Company's acquisition (see Note 3). Such
funds will remain in escrow until all parties subject to the escrow agreement
agree that all conditions related to the acquisition have been satisfied. At
that time, any funds remaining in escrow will be used to pay down the Company's
long-term obligations.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized at the time the service is provided
to the customer. For annual contracts, monthly amounts are recognized ratably
over the term of the contract. Certain services provided to the customer may
vary on a periodic basis and are invoiced to the customer in arrears. The
revenues relating to theses services are estimated in the month that the service
is performed.

Amounts received from customers in advance of providing the services of the
contract are treated as deferred revenue and recognized when the services are
provided.

The Company has contracts with third-parties to provide ancillary services in
connection with their fitness and wellness management services and programs.
Under such arrangements the third-parties invoice and receive payments from the
Company based on transactions with the ultimate customer. The Company does not
recognize revenues related to such transactions as the ultimate customer assumes
the risk and rewards of the contract and the amounts billed to the customer are
either at cost or with a fixed markup.

Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive income represents net earnings adjusted for
foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income is disclosed in
the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.

Net Earnings Per Common Share - Basic net earnings per common share is computed
by dividing net earnings by the number of weighted average common shares
outstanding. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
earnings plus dividends to preferred shareholders by the number of weighted
average common shares outstanding, and common share equivalents relating to
stock options and stock warrants, when dilutive.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments - Due to their short-term nature, the
carrying value of the Company's current financial assets and liabilities
approximates their fair values. The fair value of long-term obligations, if
recalculated based on current interest rates, would not significantly differ
from the recorded amounts.

Use of Estimates - Preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

                                       6



NOTE 3. PURCHASE OF ASSETS

On December 8, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), the Company purchased the business
assets of the Health & Fitness Services Business of Johnson & Johnson Health
Care Systems Inc. ("JJHCS"). Assets acquired by the Company consist primarily of
client contracts, proprietary wellness, lifestyle and health promotion programs,
software, and other health and wellness services. As part of the transaction,
the Company entered into a multi-year management contract with another
subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson whereby the Company will manage more than 50
Johnson & Johnson affiliate fitness center sites. The Company also entered into
a one-year agreement to use 660 square feet of office space of JJHCS for a fee
of $1,500 per month.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The fair market value of the assets acquired resulted in the following purchase
price allocation:


                                                   
Cash price paid for assets                            $4,927,500
Acquisition costs incurred                               833,019
                                                      ----------
      Total purchase price                            $5,760,519
                                                      ==========

Property and equipment                                    34,000
Customer contracts                                     1,730,000
Trademark                                                350,000
Excess of cost over assets acquired                    3,606,519
                                                      ----------
                                                      $5,760,519
                                                      ==========


During the three months ended March 31, 2004, an additional $142,111 was paid to
JJHCS for two contract assignments. The Company also incurred an additional
$47,595 of acquisition related costs. These payments were recorded entirely to
goodwill.

NOTE 4. FINANCING

On August 22, 2003, the Company entered into a $7,500,000 Credit Agreement with
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") to provide the Company with acquisition
financing and general working capital (the "Wells Loan"). The initial draw on
the Wells Loan totaled $1,255,204, which was used to refinance the revolving
line of credit ("Merrill Lynch Loan") the Company previously maintained with
Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch"). The Company
repaid all amounts owed to Merrill Lynch and canceled the line of credit, which
accrued interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.35% (effective rate of 3.77%
at December 31, 2002). On August 25, 2003, the Company made a draw of $2,250,000
on the Wells Loan, the proceeds of which were placed into escrow to fund a
portion of the JJHCS asset purchase.

Working capital advances from the Wells Loan are based upon a percentage of the
Company's eligible accounts receivable, less any amounts previously drawn. At
the option of the Company, the Wells Loan bears interest at prime or the
one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75% based upon the Company's Senior
Leverage Ratio (effective rate of 4% at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003).
The availability of the Wells Loan will decrease $250,000 on the last day of
each calendar quarter, beginning September 30, 2003, and will expire on June 30,
2007. Availability of the Wells Loan totaled $6,750,000 and $7,000,000 at March
31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Borrowings under the Wells Loan are
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company is
required to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including a senior
cash flow leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and current ratio. At March 31,
2004, the Company had $4,624,138 outstanding under the Wells Loan. Beginning on
January 31, 2004 and continuing throughout the remainder of the period ending
March 31, 2004, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
relating to the

                                       7



Wells Loan. On May 14, 2004, Wells Fargo agreed to waive the noncompliance and
amend the loan covenants, effective as of January 31, 2004. The Company believes
that the new loan covenants are more appropriate after taking into consideration
the Company's actual financial position following the acquisition of the
business assets of JJHCS. Wells Fargo was made aware of the noncompliance
shortly after January 31, 2004 and agreed to continue making capital advances
available to the Company throughout the period as new loan covenants were
negotiated. Therefore, the noncompliance had no impact on the Company's
liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

On August 25, 2003, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 Securities Purchase
Agreement with Bayview Capital Partners LP ("Bayview") to provide the Company
with acquisition financing and general working capital (the "Bayview
Investment"). The Bayview Investment was initially structured as a bridge note
(the "Bridge Note"), the proceeds of which were placed into escrow to fund a
portion of the JJHCS asset purchase.

On December 8, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), the $3,000,000 Bridge Note issued to
Bayview was converted into a $2,000,000 term note (the "Term Note"), $1,000,000
in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 0.01 par value (the "Preferred Stock")
and a warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant") per the
terms set forth in the August 25, 2003 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Term
Note bears interest at 12% per year, payable monthly, and will mature on the
fifth anniversary of the Effective Date. The Term Note may be prepaid, in whole
or in part, at any time, provided that the prepayment is accompanied by a
premium ranging from 5% in year 1 to 1% in year 5. The Bayview Investment is
secured by a subordinated security interest in substantially all of the
Company's assets. The Bayview Investment contained identical financial covenants
to those in the Wells Loan described above, and on May 14, 2004 Bayview agreed
to join with Wells Fargo in waiving this noncompliance and amending the
covenants. The noncompliance with these financial covenants had no impact on the
Company's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations, and the Company
believes the amended covenants are more appropriate after taking into
consideration the Company's actual financial position following the acquisition
of the business assets of JJHCS.

The Preferred Stock was issued to Bayview at a price of $1.00 per share,
resulting in 1,000,000 shares issued on the Effective Date. The Preferred Stock
has a stated dividend rate of 6% per year, computed on a simple interest basis,
paid in kind in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock using a price
of $1.00 per share ("PIK Dividends"). At the option of the holder, the Preferred
Stock, including any PIK Dividends, may be converted, at any time and from time
to time, into common stock of the Company at a price of $0.50 per share. In
addition, Bayview may require redemption of the Preferred Stock and PIK
Dividends upon a change of control or default (including default under the Term
Note).

The Warrant issued to Bayview on the Effective Date represents the right to
purchase 1,210,320 shares of common stock, which represented 8% of the Company's
outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis at the Effective Date,
excluding the common stock issuable to Bayview upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock. The Warrant is exercisable at any time for a period of 10 years at an
exercise price equal to $0.50 per share, and the shares obtainable upon exercise
of the Warrant may be put to the Company at fair market value (net of the
exercise price) upon a change of control or default.

The investment proceeds received from Bayview were allocated based upon the
relative fair value of each instrument, which resulted in the following
allocation:


                                               
Value assigned to Preferred Stock                 $  783,904

The $432,192 difference between the $2,000,000 face value of the Term Note and
its assigned relative fair value is being amortized as interest expense over the
5-year term of the Term Note. Balances of long-term obligations are as follows:

NOTE 5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for its stock
based employee compensation plans. All options granted had an exercise price
equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant
and accordingly, no compensation cost is reflected in net earnings for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The following table illustrates the effect
on net earnings and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value
method of accounting for stock options:

financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and federal
operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment.
Income taxes are calculated based on management's estimate of the Company's
effective tax rate, which takes into consideration a federal tax rate of 34% and
a state tax rate of 6%.

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"), provide 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, community and
university-based fitness centers, injury prevention and work-injury management
consulting, and on-site physical therapy and occupational health services.
Programs include wellness and health programs for individual customers,
including health risk assessments, nutrition and weight loss programs, smoking
cessation, massage therapy, back care and ergonomic injury prevention.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2003.

REVENUE. Revenues increased $5,148,000 or 68.5% to $12,666,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2004, from $7,518,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributed to the acquisition of the
business assets of the Health & Fitness Services Business of Johnson & Johnson
Health Care Systems Inc. ("JJHCS"), which acquired business contributed revenue
of $5,113,000.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $1,433,000 or 86.6% to $3,087,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2004, from $1,654,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. This increase is primarily attributed to the acquisition of
JJHCS. In addition, the JJHCS acquisition improved gross profit as a percent of
revenue, increasing to 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared
to 22.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OPERATING INCOME. Operating expenses increased $1,199,000
to $2,392,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $1,193,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. Of this increase, $219,000 represents a
non-cash expense related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The
remaining increase of $980,000 represents the cost of salaries, benefits and
other expenses of the management team of JJHCS.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $123,000 to $134,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $11,000 for the same period
in 2003. This increase is due to debt facilities the company secured to finance
the JJHCS acquisition and to provide working capital for the combined company.
The Company's cost of borrowed funds increased to 6.6% for the first quarter of
2004 from 3.8% for the first quarter of 2003.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $27,000 to $209,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $182,000 for the same period in 2003.
The increase is primarily due to the increase in operating profit.

DIVIDENDS TO PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS. To finance the Company's acquisition of the
JJHCS, the Company sold $1,000,000 in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock") to Bayview Capital Partners LP ("Bayview"). The Preferred
Stock was issued to Bayview at a price of $1.00 per share, resulting in the
issuance of 1,000,000 shares. The Preferred Stock has a stated dividend rate of
6% per year, computed on a simple interest basis, paid in kind in the form of
additional shares of Preferred Stock using a price of $1.00 per share ("PIK
Dividends"). For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company accrued dividends
of $15,000.

NET EARNINGS. As a result of the above, net earnings for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 increased $69,000 or 25.7% to $337,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2004, compared to $268,000 for the same period in 2003.

                                       11



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's working capital increased $2,455,000 to $4,710,000 at March 31,
2004, compared to working capital of $2,255,000 at December 31, 2003. The
increase in working capital is primarily due to an increase in accounts
receivable resulting from the acquired JJHCS contracts.

On August 22, 2003, the Company entered into a $7,500,000 Credit Agreement with
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to provide the Company with acquisition financing and
general working capital (the "Wells Loan"). The initial draw on the Wells Loan
totaled $1,255,204, which was used to refinance the revolving line of credit
("Merrill Lynch Loan") the Company previously maintained with Merrill Lynch
Business Financial Services, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch"). The Company repaid all
amounts owed to Merrill Lynch, and canceled the line of credit, which accrued
interest at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.35% (effective rate of 3.77% at
December 31, 2002). On August 25, 2003, the Company made a draw of $2,250,000 on
the Wells Loan, the proceeds of which were placed into escrow to fund a portion
of the JJHCS asset purchase.

Working capital advances from the Wells Loan are based upon a percentage of the
Company's eligible accounts receivable, less any amounts previously drawn. At
the option of the Company, the Wells Loan bears interest at prime or the
one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75% based upon the Company's Senior
Leverage Ratio (effective rate of 4% at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003).
The availability of the Wells Loan will decrease $250,000 on the last day of
each calendar quarter, beginning September 30, 2003, and will expire on June 30,
2007. Availability of the Wells Loan totaled $6,750,000 and $7,000,000 at March
31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Borrowings under the Wells Loan are
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Company is
required to comply with certain monthly financial covenants, including a senior
cash flow leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and current ratio. Beginning on
January 31, 2004 and continuing throughout the remainder of the period ending
March 31, 2004, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
relating to the Wells Loan. On May 14, 2004, Wells Fargo agreed to waive the
noncompliance and amend the loan covenants, effective as of January 31, 2004.
The Company believes that the new loan covenants are more appropriate after
taking into consideration the Company's actual financial position following the
acquisition of the business assets of JJHCS. Wells Fargo was made aware of the
noncompliance shortly after January 31, 2004 and agreed to continue making
capital advances available to the Company throughout the period as new loan
covenants were negotiated. Therefore, the noncompliance had no impact on the
Company's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

On August 25, 2003, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 Securities Purchase
Agreement with Bayview Capital Partners LP ("Bayview") to provide the Company
with acquisition financing and general working capital (the "Bayview
Investment"). The Bayview Investment was initially structured as a bridge note
(the "Bridge Note"), the proceeds of which were placed into escrow to fund a
portion of the JJHCS asset purchase.

On December 8, 2003 (the "Effective Date"), the $3,000,000 Bridge Note issued to
Bayview was converted into a $2,000,000 term note (the "Term Note"), $1,000,000
in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and a warrant to
purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant") per the terms set forth in
the August 25, 2003 Securities Purchase Agreement. The Term Note bears interest
at 12% per year, payable monthly, and will mature on the fifth anniversary of
the Effective Date. The Term Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any
time, provided that the prepayment is accompanied by a premium ranging from 5%
in year 1 to 1% in year 5. The Bayview Investment is secured by a subordinated
security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The Bayview
Investment contained identical financial covenants to those in the Wells Loan
described above, and on May 14, 2004 Bayview agreed to join with Wells Fargo in
waiving this noncompliance and amending the covenants. The noncompliance with
these financial covenants had no impact on the Company's liquidity, capital
resources or results of operations, and the Company believes the amended
covenants are more appropriate after taking into consideration the Company's
actual financial position following the acquisition of the business assets of
JJHCS.

The Preferred Stock was issued to Bayview at a price of $1.00 per share,
resulting in 1,000,000 shares issued on the Effective Date. The Preferred Stock
has a stated dividend rate of 6% per year, computed on a simple interest

                                       12



basis, paid in kind in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock using a
price of $1.00 per share ("PIK Dividends"). At the option of the holder, the
Preferred Stock, including any PIK Dividends, may be converted, at any time and
from time to time, into common stock of the Company at a price of $0.50 per
share. In addition, Bayview may require redemption of the Preferred Stock and
PIK Dividends upon a change of control or default (including default under the
Term Note).

As of March 31, 2004, 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, 2003 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 revolving line of credit. The Company does not believe that
inflation has had a significant impact on the results of its operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As indicated in our notes to the financial statements, we are not aware of any
recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a material impact on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION

HIPPA. The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") require group health plans
and health care providers who conduct certain administrative and financial
transactions electronically ("Standard Transactions") to (a) comply with a
certain data format and coding standards when conducting electronic
transactions; (b) use appropriate technologies to protect the security and
integrity of individually identifiable health information transmitted or
maintained in an electronic format; and (c) protect the privacy of patient
health information. The Company's occupational health line of business, which
accounts for approximately five percent of the Company's total revenue, and the
group health plan the Company sponsors for its employees are subject to HIPAA's
requirements. The Company expects to be in compliance with HIPPA requirements
within the timeline specified for the Company's affected business areas. The
Company's corporate, hospital, community and university based fitness center
management lines of business are not subject to the requirements of HIPAA.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future, investing
in derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other
such financial instruments. Transactions with international customers are
entered into in U.S. dollars, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges.
As a result, the exposure to market risk is not material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
(collectively, the "Certifying Officers") are responsible for establishing
and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The
Certifying Officers have concluded (based upon their evaluation of these
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report)
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are 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 the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Certifying Officers also have
indicated that there were no changes in the Company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

On August 22, 2003, the Company entered into a $7,500,000 Credit Agreement with

31, 2004 and continuing throughout the remainder of the period ending March 31,
2004, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants relating to the
Wells Loan. The Company also was not in compliance with the identical covenants
set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement with Bayview Capital Partners LP
("Bayview") pertaining to a $2,000,000 term note and $1,000,000 of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Bayview on December 8, 2003. Wells Fargo
continued to make working capital available throughout the period ending March
31, 2004, and on May 14, 2004, Wells Fargo and Bayview agreed to waive the
noncompliance and to amend the covenants. Therefore, the noncompliance has had
no impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or results of
operations.
