ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
GENERAL
Ultrafit Centers, Inc., (formerly D.S.S., Inc.), a Colorado corporation was formed May, 1987 (the "Company" or "Ultrafit") to primarily engage in the sale and distribution of dental, medical, pharmaceutical and related supplies and equipment. Prior to October 27, 1995 nor in any of its previous fiscal years, the Company did not have meaningful business operations. On October 27, 1995, the Company exchanged 6,600,000 shares of its Common Shares for 100% of Ultrafit Centers, Inc., a Texas Corporation; thereafter, the Company's name was changed from D.S.S., Inc. to Ultrafit Centers, Inc.
Ultrafit is a management company that manages and develops the Ultrafit Preventive Medicine Centers concept through the operation of individual Ultrafit Preventive Medicine Centers (the "Ultrafit Center(s)") and Nutritional Biosciences, Inc. ("Nutritional Biosciences"), the Company's sole provider of certain dietary supplements. An Ultrafit Center represents an alternative model for health care which takes a preventive approach versus repair approach to medicine through combining a physician-staffed medical clinic with a state-of-the-art fitness and nutrition center. The Ultrafit program is designed to recognize most patients have never exercised before and a majority have one or more pre-existing illnesses such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. Therefore, at the outset, a customized patient program is developed with appropriate exercise and diet regimen suited to the particular patient's abilities. Each customized patient program is developed based on a medical evaluation performed by an on-site physician. The Company has developed a proprietary specific step-by-step enrollment process.
The Company currently operates six (6) Ultrafit Centers in the State of Texas. As of March 1, 1996, these six (6) Centers had a combined membership of approximately 10,000 patients. On December 1, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to commence operations in an Ultrafit Preventive Medicine Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
In June 1995, the Company opened a new Ultrafit Center pursuant to a joint venture agreement with Davlin Corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company retains a 49% ownership interest in the center. The Company is also entitled to franchise royalties of 7% of gross revenues.
The Company also operates Nutritional Biosciences, Ultrafit's sole provider of certain dietary supplements. Nutritional Biosciences was formed on January 30, 1986, primarily as a wholesaler of vitamins and dietary supplements. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 1995, Nutritional Biosciences derived approximately sixty-six percent (66%) of its revenues from supplying Ultrafit Centers with certain dietary supplements.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ULTRAFIT STATE
The Ultrafit concept and system of preventive medicine was developed by Dr. Joseph E. Davis, founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Medical Officer of the Company. During his tenure at the Heart and Lung Institute at Bethesda, Maryland, Dr. Davis developed a keen interest in nutritional biochemistry. The goal of Dr. Davis' work was to develop a dietary and exercise program designed to form a preventive versus repair approach to health care. Dr. Davis coined the term "Ultrafit State" to characterize his approach to preventive healthcare.
In 1978, Dr. Davis opened a private practice in Nacogdoches, Texas and began to apply his concepts in his work of rehabilitating cardiac and orthopedic patients. In 1990, Dr. Davis published a book entitled "ULTRAFIT" describing his program. Subsequently, Dr. Davis relocated to Edinburgh, Texas and with John Russell, an executive of a health club group, established the first Ultrafit Center.
AN ULTRAFIT PREVENTIVE MEDICINE FACILITY
The Company delivers its products and services to consumers through the management operation of Ultrafit Centers. Members of each Ultrafit Center pay an initial fee and small monthly charge to have created a customized program incorporating matters relating to physical health, exercise and diet under the direction of a staff physician and a team of exercise and nutrition personnel. Each center houses facilities for patient use of various exercise equipment including stationary bikes, weights, treadmills and other exercise equipment necessary for the Ultrafit program.
The non-discounted initial charge to become a patient of an Ultrafit Center is $498.00. The fee covers an initial medical evaluation which includes a cardiac stress test, blood profile, resting electrocardiogram, urinalysis, complete chemistry analysis and physical. Thereafter, each patient is charged a $60.00 monthly fee for use of the Center's facilities, equipment and services. The monthly fee is collected on a pre-authorized bank draft of the patients bank account or credit card. A patient may cancel membership by providing 60 days notice or may move a membership to another Center by providing 30 days notice. Patients have reciprocity at all Ultrafit Centers.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
PATIENT ENROLLMENT
Upon acceptance and prior to the first appointment, each new patient is provided with a copy of the book entitled "Ultrafit", a health review form and the rules of the Ultrafit Center. Patients are instructed to read the book, complete the health review and refrain from foods for 12 hours before the first appointment because of the physical exam. Patients are also encouraged to wear clothing appropriate for exercise and, if desired, a change of clothes.
During this evaluation portion of the Company's enrollment process, the patient provides a blood and urine sample followed by a medical exam performed by the on-site physician. This exam typically takes approximately one-hour and includes treadmill evaluation. The first visit concludes with arrangements for the second visit.
The second visit is a review of the lab results and doctors physical examination and stress test evaluation. Using these results, the doctor can structure the patients dietary and exercise program and scrutinize same in light of any medical considerations. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe dietary supplements or regimens. The second visit concludes with arranging for the third visit.
During this phase of the enrollment process, a customized training program is developed for the patient taking into account the factors of age, physical limitation, weight and medical exam results and medical history. Within these parameters, the exercise physiologist can develop a program based on goals to lower body fat, lose inches or to develop body tone.
Patients are provided a program card and a complete demonstration of the exercise equipment by a personal trainer employed by the Ultrafit Center. The personal trainer will work with the patient for at least the next ten visits to ensure a smooth and consistent transition into the Ultrafit program. During this time, patients are taught to monitor their heart rate and technique on how to control heart rate.
Thirty to sixty days after the initial visit, each patient is measured and weighed. In some cases, the exercise program is graduated or decreased to keep pace with the patient.
DIETARY PROGRAMS
In certain cases, an individual patient program includes a dietary regimen in conjunction with a consistent exercise program. The Ultrafit program recommends one of three diets depending upon the needs and medical condition of each patient. Basically, the Ultrafit Diet plans allow different people to eat the same foods, but at different calorie levels.
THE ULTRAFIT AMINO ACID DIET provides predigested amino acid tablets and vitamin/mineral supplements for people with serious weight problems who need help with hunger control. Predigested means that the protein has been broken down to its most basic building blocks.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
THE ULTRAFIT REDUCING DIET helps people lose weight more gradually. Just as does the Ultrafit Amino Acid Diet, the Ultrafit Reducing Diet protects the patient's muscle and reduces the fat in the patient's diet and on the patient's body. This diet does not use amino acid tablets. It does require that the patient takes vitamin/mineral supplements.
THE ULTRAFIT MAINTENANCE DIET helps people of normal weight who have health problems achieve that Ultrafit State. It protects the patient's muscle as the patient reduces the fat in his/her diet and on the patient's body. This diet includes a weekly "pig-out meal."
THE BODY WARRANTY
The Company provides qualified members free limited outpatient care including:
(1) Routine Outpatient care for illness that can be appropriately treated by a general practitioner or internist during posted office hours.
(2) All lab work completed at cost plus a nominal drawing and handling fee.
(3) All medical fees will be posted.
Conditions of eligibility for the Company's free limited outpatient care state: "This Body Warranty remains in effect as long as the terms heretofore mentioned are honored and the member is in good standing; members must exercise a minimum of ten (10) times per month; members must be 14 years in age or older; and, must be current on premiums."
The Company previously obtained its supply of Amino Acid tablets offered by the Company to certain of its patients from Nutritional Biosciences. The Company acquired the assets of Nutritional Biosciences on April 3, 1995, thereby relieving dependence on an outside party for supplies of Amino Acid tablets.
COMPETITION
Management believes its competition arises primarily from health clubs and diet centers. Although the Company believes its approach to preventive medicine through providing a physician-staffed medical clinic with a state-of-the-art fitness and nutrition center allows it a competitive advantage, the majority of health clubs and diet centers have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than the Company. Moreover, there can be no assurance that competitors that more closely parallel the Company's method of operation might not enter markets in which the Company has a presence at some time in the future.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
INDUSTRY - PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
Although the Company shares the characteristics of a fitness center or gym as well as the characteristics of a diet center, management considers its industry segment is better defined as "preventive medicine."
The Company's founder developed the Ultrafit series of programs in the course of providing services as a practicing physician. As such, while an Ultrafit Center offers all the amenities standard to other fitness centers such as exercise equipment, weight machines, etc., the Company's use of an on-site physician, exercise physiologist and nutrition expert substantially differentiate it from either health clubs or diet centers. The Company defines preventive medicine in the same manner as the Centers for Disease Control, i.e. "preventive" medicine are programs able to "reduce the incidence, prevalence and burden of disease and injury and enhance health by improving physical social and mental well-being."
Management believes there is a general growing trend of acceptance for a preventive approach to medicine versus a repair approach. According to a survey by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 81 percent of private work-sites with at least 50 employees offered some type of health promotion activities in 1992, compared with 66 percent in 1985. An October 1993 William M. Mercer Inc. survey showed the main motivation for establishing such programs was to reduce health care costs (83 percent). Others cited employee interest (36 percent) and absenteeism/productivity issues (17 percent). Fourteen percent mentioned other reasons, the most common being a concern for employee welfare.
Among the published studies which management believes demonstrate growth in the popularity of a preventive approach to medicine include Johnson & Johnson's Live For Life program showed cost savings of about $180 a year for each employee. Stanford University School of Medicine's Healthtrac program showed a reduction of $300 in medical claims for each $30 spent on guiding individuals into healthier lifestyles. Stratus Computer Inc. of Marlborough, Mass., is saving about $50,000 a year on medication and diabetic treatment for its employees who completed the HealthMatters program during 1992 and 1993.
MARKETING
The Company intends to market and develop its locations through franchising and jointly-owned Ultrafit Centers. The rationale for franchising the Ultrafit is based, in part, upon management's belief that new Centers can best be developed if owned by physicians practicing preventive medicine. Additionally, Company-owned locations require significant capital and management estimates that expansion would be restricted to the availability of capital.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
The Company has not conducted any marketing studies which would indicate a demand or lack of demand for its approach to preventive medicine or its approach to marketing through offering for sale jointly-owned or franchised Ultrafit Centers. Accordingly, the Company is relying solely on the opinion of management that a need exists in the marketplace for preventive medicine in general and for the Ultrafit approach to preventive medicine in particular. As such, there can be no assurance that any market exists or, if a market exists, that it would be receptive to preventive medicine as delivered according to the Ultrafit approach.
FRANCHISING AND JOINTLY-OWNED ULTRAFIT CENTERS.
The Company intends to develop the Ultrafit concept, in part, through obtaining qualified franchisees, which franchisees may include, as equity participants, physicians practicing preventive medicine. The Company is also seeking to extend and develop its Ultrafit concept through joint venture or joint development agreements.
Under the jointly-owned approach, the Company licenses its system for center operation, together with its name and other materials. The Company retains 40% to 50% ownership of each center and the purchaser provides funding to establish a particular center. The Company envisions it will market the jointly-owned approach exclusively to physicians who practice a preventive form of medicine and agree to act as or provide for a full-time, on-site physician.
DEVELOPMENT OF JOINTLY-OWNED ULTRAFIT CENTERS
The Company intends to market the jointly-owned approach exclusively to physicians who practice a preventive form of medicine and agree to act as or provide for a full-time, on-site physician.
SALES OF FRANCHISE ULTRAFIT CENTERS
On September 21, 1994, the Company entered its first franchise agreement with Princeton Medical Group ("PMG") for the San Antonio, Texas, area. Said area contains two existing Ultrafit Centers which PMG continues to operate. The Company intends to offer franchises to qualified individuals, primarily physicians. Franchises will be awarded for an initial fee of $50,000 and a monthly royalty of between seven percent (7%) and nine percent (9%) of gross sales.
During the term of a franchise agreement, a franchisee must pay the Company a continuing monthly royalty fee between seven and nine percent (7-9%) of the gross sales of the Ultrafit Center. The Company, in its sole discretion, may modify the royalty fee for a specific franchise under certain limited circumstances. Such circumstances include an evaluation of market conditions, including the degree of market penetration of the Ultrafit Centers in the area to be developed and the demographics of the area; the number of Ultrafit Centers to be developed; the time period for such development and the location of the Ultrafit Center; the financial strength and experience of the franchisee and related factors.
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS (CONT'D.)
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
In connection with its franchise operations and with respect to the provisioning of medical services through the physician employees of the particular Centers, the Company is subject to state, federal and professional medical practice requirements.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company's property is subject to a pending legal proceeding filed in 1994 in the U.S. Banruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas. Such action is an outcome of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case filed by John and Patty Russell. In such proceeding, the Bankruptcy Trustee is seeking recovery from Dr. Davis "the true value of the stock in DPJ" [Inc.], which company was acquired by Dr. Davis from John Russell in 1992. The Trustee in such action is alleging, among other matters, that the Company has liability, as a subsequent transferee of Dr. Davis, due to the fact that, as alleged by the Trustee, DPJ was purchased by Ultrafit for a price below its market value. The Company was named as a party in this litigation in December 1995.
Reference is made to Note 13 to the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1995.

As of December 31, 1995, there were 288 Shareholders of Record.
ITEM 6
ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes that it has effectively limited the amount of debt incurred in opening new Centers by utilizing internal financial and off the balance sheet financing. With these factors in mind, the Company has improved its ratio of total assets to total liabilities from 1.88 to 1 as of December 31, 1995, and 5.7 to 1 as of March 31, 1996.
Capital is derived from the operation of the Ultrafit Centers and from the sale of franchises and subsequent franchise royalties. As of March 1, 1996, the Company had six (6) Centers in operation. The fee to acquire a franchise is $50,000 with franchise royalties ranging between 7-9% of gross sales. Additionally, capital is derived from the sale of certain dietary and vitamin supplements through Nutritional Biosciences. Distribution is currently through sales at the Centers and also through advertisements in a state-wide publication.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCE OF FUNDS
Each new center requires approximately $500,000 of capital for hard assets and an additional $100,000 of short term working capital.
1. Ultrafit has a $1,000,000 line of credit with Mission State Bank of Mission, Texas, (currently not utilized).
2. Ultrafit has an on-going loan/debt relationship with NationsBank. Ultrafit has a $340,000 loan outstanding to NationsBank that is collateralized by shares of Ultrafit's stock.
3. Ultrafit's Board of Directors has authorized Warrants for a total of 700,000 shares of Ultrafit's stock for a total value of $1,400,000.
EFFECT OF INFLATION
Ultrafit is affected by inflation or deflation in the areas of labor cost (which makes up in excess of 50% of operation cost, supply cost and cost of construction). As a result, Ultrafit uses the C.P.I. guide for project increases in costs on an annual basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Typically, during the first 12 months of operation, all short term working capital is repaid. Centers are projected to be posting cash flow. At the 18-month marker, Centers are projected to be profitable.
Mature Centers (those Centers with 1,500 or more patients) produce approximately $20,000 in excess cash, and approximately $12,000 in profit each month.
Nutritional Biosciences has a 100% gross profit margin in all of its products. Currently 2/3 of these products sold by Nutritional Biosciences are sold to Ultrafit Centers. One-third of Nutritional Biosciences sales are sold directly to the consumer via the telephone and Internet sales. By January 1, 1997, Ultrafit projects that 50% of Nutritional Biosciences sales will be via the Internet and telephone sales.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
For the year ended December 31, 1995, Ultrafit reflected a loss in operations. However, management is optimistic about future financial results, due to the following factors:
o Limited use of debt and the utilization of off-the-balance-sheet financing, when possible, in opening new Centers.
o Continued strong performance by the McAllen centers.
o Change in ownership of a San Antonio franchise.
o Opening of Victoria center - expected break-even by June 1997, profit margin of $5,000 in July 1997 with continued growth of approximately 5% per month.
o Change in management of Harlingen center - expected break-even by June 1996, profit margin of $5,000 in July 1996 with continued growth of approximately 5% per month.
o Opening of the first out-of-state franchise in the Phoenix, Arizona, area. Expected opening in June 1996, with six (6) Centers expected to follow.
o Addition of two (2) corporate-owned centers and four (4) franchised centers.
o Entrance of Nutritional Biosciences into the national distribution market via the Internet. Increase in the number of Centers operating will lead to greatly increased sales ratios, while increases in retail sales will lead to a greater profit margin.
Management believes all of the above factors will have a positive impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Board of Directors Ultrafit Centers, Inc. and Subsidiaries
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ultrafit Centers, Inc. (formerly D.S.S., Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I did not audit the 1994 financial information contained in Note 2 relating to the financial position and results of operations of acquired subsidiaries. The 1994 financial statements of the acquired subsidiaries were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to me, and my opinion, insofar as it relates to the 1994 financial information included in Note 2, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, based on my audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all materials respect, the financial position of Ultrafit Centers, Inc. (formerly D.S.S., Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations, changes in its shareholders' equity and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Ultrafit Centers, Inc. (the Company), formerly D.S.S., Inc., was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on May 27, 1987 to engage in the business of the sale and distribution of dental, medical, pharmaceutical and other related supplies and equipment. The Company was a development stage entity until October 27, 1995, at which time it acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Ultrafit Centers, Inc. (UCI), a Texas corporation. The assets of UCI included two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Prior to the acquisition of UCI, the Company had no assets and no significant operating activities other than transactions related to its formation and organization.
The acquired corporation, Ultrafit Centers, Inc. (UCI), is a management company. It was formed on February 3, 1993, to operate and expand the Ultrafit Preventive Medicine Centers concept which represents an alternative model for health care. It utilizes a preventive approach to medicine by combining a physician-staffed medical clinic providing customized patient exercise and diet programs with a state-of-the-art fitness and nutrition center. UCI plans to franchise Ultrafit Centers throughout the United States. UCI has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ultrafit Fitness Centers, Inc. (UFCI) and Nutritional Biosciences, Inc. (NBI). Both subsidiaries were acquired by UCI on April 3, 1995. As more fully explained in Note 14, subsequent to December 31, 1995 UFCI ceased being a subsidiary of the Company.
The Company issued 6,600,000 shares of common stock upon its acquisition of UCI. The shares were valued at $903,399, representing the net book value of UCI. Accordingly, no goodwill was recorded as a result of the acquisition.The goodwill reflected in these financial statements represents excess of cost over net assets acquired resulting from the acquisition by UCI of one of its subsidiaries on April 3, 1995. The acquisition of UCI by the Company was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of UCI and its subsidiaries is included in the accompanying financial statements only from the date of acquisition (October 27, 1995) through December 31, 1995. Pro forma financial information on the Company, UCI and subsidiaries is presented in Note 2.

Operations for the subsidiaries acquired during the year ended December 31, 1995 (described above and in Note 2) are included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition.
PER SHARE DATA - Per share data have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
PROVISION FOR ESTIMATED UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS - The Company records a provision for estimated uncollectible accounts for the portion of recognized revenues which it estimates may not be ultimately collected. The provision and related allowance are adjusted periodically, based upon the Company's evaluation of historical collection experience. As of the balance sheet date no allowance for bad debts on trade accounts receivable was deemed necessary.
INVENTORY - Inventory consists of books, vitamins and dietary supplements. It is stated at the lower of cost or market and is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
DEVELOPMENT COSTS - Development costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated benefit periods, ranging from 3 to 7 years. They primarily consist of direct franchise development costs. Other costs include software and video development costs.
GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by UCI, Inc., prior to its acquisition by the Company on October 27, 1995. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period, 15 years. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded amortization expense of $14,295, $3,176 of which occurred after October 27, 1995 and is included in the statement of operations.
PRE-OPENING COSTS - Pre-opening costs represent direct costs incurred in the process of readying the Company's Ultrafit Centers for operations.
