Health Fitness Announces Third Quarter Results

    MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Fitness Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) today reported a net loss for the third quarter
ended September 30, 1999 of $(941,000), or $(0.08) per share, compared to
$(1,653,000), or $(0.14) per share, for the same period a year ago.  The 1999
net loss included $(333,000) of re-engineering costs and a loss of $(360,000)
primarily related to the previously announced sale of the Isernhagen and PTPA
divisions.  The 1998 net loss included a $(1,393,000) loss from discontinued
operations.
    Revenues for the third quarter were $6,467,000 compared to $6,713,000 for
the same period last year.  The decline was largely due to lower sales from
the Isernhagen division and the subsequent disposition of the PTPA and
Isernhagen divisions, which occurred on August 31.  Revenues from the
company's core business of fitness center management did not decline.
    Gross margin declined slightly to 23.0% in the third quarter of 1999,
compared to 23.9% during the same period last year.  The decline was largely
attributable to lower margin sales from the Isernhagen division during the two
months that this division was included in the quarter.
    Operating loss during the quarter was ($272,000) compared to an operating
loss of ($132,000) in the third quarter of 1998.  The operating loss was
directly related to re-engineering costs of $(333,000) incurred during the
quarter which included consulting and non-compete fees related to the
company's re-engineering actions.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the company reported a net
loss of $(2,680,000), or $(0.22) per share, compared to a net loss of
($2,208,000), or ($0.21) per share, in the first nine months of 1998.
Revenues for the nine-month period increased $640,000, or 3.3%, to $19,765,000
compared to $19,125,000 reported for the first nine months of 1998.  The
revenue increase was partially offset by a decline in revenues from the
company's consulting and Isernhagen divisions.
    Operating income for the first nine months of 1999 declined to $99,000
from $680,000 during the same period in 1998 due to re-engineering costs of
$605,000 and decreased revenues from the company's consulting and Isernhagen
divisions.  Re-engineering costs included consulting and non-compete fees.
    Charles J.B. Mitchell, Jr., acting chief executive officer, said, "Health
Fitness has made progress in its efforts to strengthen its financial position
by reducing its line of credit by approximately $3.8 million since the
beginning of the year and consolidating its assets to focus on its core
business of managing corporate and hospital fitness centers.  During the third
quarter, the company completed the sales of its remaining non-strategic
physical therapy and equipment divisions.  It also initiated its strategy to
pursue strategic options for the company, which include a merger, partnership,
or sale of the company, in order to strengthen its presence in the corporate
fitness market."
    Health Fitness Corporation of Minneapolis, Minn. manages corporate fitness
centers and hospital-based fitness centers throughout the United States and
provides a wide range of additional preventive health care services to
corporations.
