NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
     As of June 30, 2011, Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “TSI Holdings”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Town Sports International, LLC (“TSI, LLC”), operated 158 fitness clubs (“clubs”) comprised of 106 clubs in the New York metropolitan market under the “New York Sports Clubs” brand name, 25 clubs in the Boston market under the “Boston Sports Clubs” brand name, 18 clubs (two of which are partly-owned) in the Washington, D.C. market under the “Washington Sports Clubs” brand name, six clubs in the Philadelphia market under the “Philadelphia Sports Clubs” brand name and three clubs in Switzerland. The Company’s operating segments are New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Philadelphia Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Swiss Sports Clubs. The Company has determined that our operating segments have similar economic characteristics and meet the criteria which permit them to be aggregated into one reportable segment.
     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The year-end condensed balance sheet data included within this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures that are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods set forth herein. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The guidance, which became effective and was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2011, applies to all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after the effective date, and does not require retroactive application. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results as of or for the three or six months ended June 30, 2011.
     In June 2011, the FASB amended its authoritative guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amendment, an entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment, therefore, eliminates the currently available option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The Company will adopt this amended guidance for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance will not have any other effect on the Company’s financial statements.

2011 Senior Credit Facility
     On May 11, 2011, TSI, LLC entered into a $350,000 senior secured credit facility (“2011 Senior Credit Facility”). The 2011 Senior Credit Facility consists of a $300,000 term loan facility (“2011 Term Loan Facility”), and a $50,000 revolving loan facility (“2011 Revolving Loan Facility”). The 2011 Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount (“OID”) of 1.0% or $3,000. The proceeds were used to pay off amounts outstanding under the 2007 Senior Credit Facility, to pay the redemption price for all of the Company’s outstanding 11% senior discount notes due in 2014 (the “Senior Discount Notes”), and to pay related fees and expenses. None of the revolving facility was drawn upon as of the closing date, but loans under the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility may be drawn from time to time pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The 2011 Term Loan Facility matures on May 11, 2018, and the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility matures on May 11, 2016. The borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed and secured by assets and pledges of capital stock by TSI, LLC and the wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of TSI, LLC.
     The $3,000 OID is recorded as a contra-liability to Long-Term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011, and is being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The unamortized balance of the OID as of June 30, 2011 is $2,948.
     As of June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding 2011 Revolving Loan Facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit issued totaled $9,531. The unutilized portion of the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility as of June 30, 2011 was $40,469.
     Borrowings under the 2011 Term Loan Facility, at TSI, LLC’s option, bear interest at either the administrative agent’s base rate plus 4.5% or its Eurodollar rate plus 5.5%, each as defined in the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The Eurodollar Rate has a floor of 1.50% and the base rate a floor of 2.50% with respect to the outstanding Term Loans. As of June 30, 2011, the interest rate was 7.0%. TSI, LLC is required to pay 0.25% of principal, or $750 per quarter and repaid principal of $750 on June 30, 2011 accordingly. If, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of TSI Holdings (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011), the secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.75:1.00, TSI, LLC is required to pay $3,750, or 1.25% of principal. As of June 30, 2011, TSI, LLC had a senior secured leverage ratio of 3.39:1.00 and TSI, LLC will be required to make a principal payment of $3,750 on September 30, 2011.
     The terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility provide for financial covenants which require TSI, LLC to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio, as defined, of no greater than 5.25:1.00 as of June 30, 2011, with step-downs of 0.25 in each of the next three quarters arriving at an ultimate senior secured leverage ratio requirement of 4.50:1.00 or less effective March 31, 2012 and thereafter; an interest expense coverage ratio of no less than 2.00:1.00; and a covenant that limits capital expenditures to $40,000 for the four quarters ending in any quarter during which the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00:1.00 and to $50,000 for the four quarters ending in any quarter during which the ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.50:1.00. This covenant does not limit capital expenditures if the ratio is less than or equal to 2.50:1.00. TSI, LLC was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011 with a senior secured leverage ratio of 3.39:1:00 and an interest coverage ratio of 3.69:1.00.
     TSI, LLC may prepay the 2011 Term Loan Facility and 2011 Revolving Loan Facility without premium or penalty in accordance with the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, except that a prepayment premium of 2.0% is payable prior to May 11, 2012 and a prepayment premium of 1.0% is payable from May 11, 2012 to May 11, 2013. Mandatory prepayments are required in certain circumstances relating to cash flow in excess of certain expenditures, asset sales, insurance recovery and incurrence of certain other debt. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility contains provisions that require excess cash flow payments, as defined, to be applied against outstanding 2011 Term Loan Facility balances. The applicable excess cash flow repayment percentage is applied to the excess cash flow when determining the excess cash flow payment. Earnings, changes in working capital and capital expenditure levels all impact the determination of any excess cash flows. The applicable excess cash flow repayment

percentage is 75% when the senior secured leverage ratio, as defined, exceeds 3.00:1.00; 50% when the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.50:1.00 but less than 3.00:1.00; 25% when the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.00:1.00 but less than 2.50:1.00 and 0% when the senior secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.00:1.00. As of June 30, 2011, the 2011 Term Loan Facility has a balance of $296,302, net of the unamortized OID.
     Debt issuance costs related to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were $8,065, of which, $7,288 is being amortized as interest expense, and are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unamortized loan costs of $1,550 related to the 2007 Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Discount Notes and $777 of costs related to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were written off in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and are included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

     Contemporaneously with entry into the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, TSI, LLC repaid the outstanding principal amount of the 2007 Term Loan Facility of $164,001. The 2007 Term Loan Facility was set to expire on the earlier of February 27, 2014, or August 1, 2013, if the Senior Discount Notes were still outstanding. There were no outstanding amounts under the 2007 Revolving Loan Facility as of this date. The 2007 Term Loan Facility was redeemed for face value plus accrued and unpaid interest of $447 and fees related to the letters of credit of $27. The total cash paid in connection with the redemption was $164,475 as of May 11, 2011 with no early repayment penalty. The Company determined that the 2011 Senior Credit Facility was not substantially different than the 2007 Senior Credit Facility for certain lenders based on the less than 10% difference in cash flows of the respective debt instruments. A portion of the transaction was therefore accounted for as a modification of the 2007 Senior Credit Facility and a portion was accounted for as an extinguishment. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded refinancing charges of approximately $634, representing the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt costs related to the 2007 Senior Credit Facility, which is included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Redemption of Senior Discount Notes
     A portion of the proceeds from the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were also used to pay the remaining principal amount on the Senior Discount Notes of $138,450 plus a call premium of 1.833% of the principal amount thereof totaling approximately $2,538 and accrued interest of $5,457. The accrued interest included interest through May 11, 2011 of $4,188, plus 30 days of additional interest of $1,269, representing the interest charge during the 30 day notification period. The Company determined that the 2011 Senior Credit Facility was substantially different than the Senior Discount Notes. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $916 related to the redemption of the Senior Discount Notes, which is included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Fair Market Value
     Based on quoted market prices, the 2011 Senior Credit Facility had a fair value of approximately $300,000 at June 30, 2011. The Senior Discount Notes and the 2007 Term Loan Facility had a fair value of approximately $137,066 and $168,270, respectively at December 31, 2010.
4. Concentration of Credit Risk
     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Although the Company deposits its cash with more than one financial institution, as of June 30, 2011, $15,138 of the cash balance of $34,512 was held at one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalent accounts to date and the Company believes that, based on the credit ratings of the aforementioned institutions, it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash at this time.
5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the denominator is increased for the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not include stock options to purchase 678,412 shares of the Company’s common stock in the calculations of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of those options were greater than the average market price and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
     For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there was no effect of dilutive stock options and restricted common stock on the calculation of diluted loss per share as the Company reported a net loss for these periods.
6. Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2006 Plan”), authorizes the Company to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to employees, non-employee directors and consultants pursuant to awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, in payment of performance shares or other stock-based awards. An amendment to the 2006 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan by 500,000 shares to 3,000,000 shares was unanimously adopted by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2011, and approved by stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 12, 2011. Under the 2006 Plan, stock options must be granted at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted, generally are not subject to re-pricing, and will not be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant. Options granted under the 2006 Plan generally qualify as “non-qualified stock options” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Certain options granted under the Company’s 2004 Common Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2004 Plan”), generally qualify as “incentive stock options” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code; the exercise price of a stock option granted under this plan may not be less than the fair market value of Common Stock on the option grant date.
     At June 30, 2011, the Company had 103,320 stock options outstanding under the 2004 Plan and 2,029,199 shares of restricted stock and stock options outstanding under the 2006 Plan.
Option Grants
     Options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to employees of the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors were as follows:
                                                         
                                                    Expected

and $347 and $694 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
     As of June 30, 2011, a total of $1,258 in unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
     On March 1, 2011, the Company issued 64,000 shares of restricted stock to employees. The fair value per share was $4.57, the closing stock price on the date of grant. These shares will vest 25% per year over four years on the anniversary date of the grant and expire on March 1, 2021. There was no restricted stock awarded during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     The total compensation expense, classified within Payroll and related on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, related to restricted stock granted was $22 and $36 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $9 and $18 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
     As of June 30, 2011, a total of $247 in unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years.
Stock Grants
     In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued shares of common stock to members of the Company’s Board of Directors as payment of their annual and quarterly retention. The total fair value of the shares issued was expensed upon the grant dates. Total shares issued were:
                         
            Price Per     Grant Date

7. Fixed Asset Impairment and Club Closures
     Fixed assets are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that related carrying amounts may not be recoverable from undiscounted cash flows in accordance with FASB released guidance. The Company’s long-lived assets and liabilities are grouped at the individual club level which is the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flow. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to the assets are less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value is recognized. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company tested 11 underperforming clubs and no impairments were found. The 11 clubs had an aggregate of $18,918 of net leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures remaining as of June 30, 2011. In the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a total of $2,865 of impairment charges at two clubs. The impairment charges are included as a separate line in operating income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
     The fair values of fixed assets evaluated for impairment were calculated using Level 3 inputs using discounted cash flows, which are based on internal budgets and forecasts through the end of each respective lease. The most significant assumptions in those budgets and forecasts relate to estimated membership and ancillary revenue, attrition rates, and maintenance capital expenditures, which are estimated at approximately 3% of total revenues.
8. Goodwill and Other Intangibles
     Goodwill has been allocated to reporting units that closely reflect the regions served by our four trade names: New York Sports Clubs (“NYSC”), Boston Sports Clubs (“BSC”), Washington Sports Clubs (“WSC”) and Philadelphia Sports Clubs (“PSC”), with certain more remote clubs that do not benefit from a regional cluster being considered single reporting units (“Outlier Clubs”) and our three clubs located in Switzerland being considered a single reporting unit (“SSC”). The Company has one Outlier Club with goodwill. As of June 30, 2011, the BSC, WSC and PSC regions do not have goodwill balances.

Table of Contents

     As of February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company performed its annual impairment test. The February 28, 2011 and 2010 impairment tests supported the recorded goodwill balances and as such no impairment of goodwill was required. The valuation of reporting units requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows and discount rates.
     The Company’s next annual impairment test will be performed as of February 29, 2012 or earlier, if any such change constitutes a triggering event outside the quarter when the annual goodwill impairment test is performed. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result. There were no triggering events in the three months ended June 30, 2011. As of February 28, 2011, the estimated fair value of NYSC was 49% greater than book value and the estimated fair value of SSC was 79% greater than book value.

9. Income Taxes
     The Company determined its income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011 by estimating its 2011 effective annual tax rate. This is a change from how the Company determined its income tax provision/(benefit) in each of the quarterly reporting periods in 2010. In each of the quarterly reporting periods, the Company could not reliably estimate its 2010 effective annual tax rate because small changes in annual estimated income before provision for corporate income taxes (pre-tax results) could have had a significant impact on our annual estimated effective tax rate. Accordingly, in 2010 the Company calculated its effective tax rate based on pre-tax results through the six months ended June 30, 2010. The 2010 annual effective tax rate as of the year ended December 31, 2010 was (33)%.
     The Company recorded a provision for corporate income taxes of $601 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $2,466 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was 35% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to (61)% in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s provision includes a

11


Table of Contents

discrete benefit of $2,096 for the $4,865 loss on extinguishment of debt and $549 of discrete charges in the three months ended June 30, 2011 that primarily relate to the adjustment of estimated jurisdictional tax rates in effect in 2011. The expected benefits from the Company’s Captive Insurance arrangement adjusted the Company’s effective tax rate on the Company’s pre-tax income in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 45% to 35% and changed the Company’s effective tax rate on the pre-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from (44)% to (61)%.
     As of June 30, 2011, $751 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate in 2011. Such amount could be realized by the Company since the income tax returns may no longer be subject to audit during 2011.
     The Company recognizes both interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in income tax expense, if deemed applicable. As of June 30, 2011, the amount accrued for interest was $223.
     The Company files Federal income tax returns, a foreign jurisdiction return and multiple state and local jurisdiction tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examined the Company’s 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Federal income tax returns and concluded those audits with no findings. The Company is no longer subject to examinations of its Federal income tax returns by the IRS for the years 2009 and prior. The following state and local jurisdictions are currently examining the Company’s respective returns for the years indicated: New York State (2006, 2007), New York City (2006, 2007, 2008), and Connecticut (2007, 2008). The Company has not been notified of any findings regarding any of these examinations.
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company has net deferred tax assets of $40,863. Quarterly, the Company assesses the weight of all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether the net deferred tax asset is realizable. In 2010 the Company incurred a slight loss, but returned to profitability in Q1 2011 and in Q2 2011 when excluding discrete events. The Company has historically been a taxpayer and expects that it will be in a three year cumulative income position, excluding non-recurring items, as of December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company, based on recent trends, projects improved performance and future income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the periods when the temporary tax deductible differences reverse. The Company has Federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards which the Company believes will be realized within the available carry-forward period, except for a small operating loss carry-forward in Rhode Island due to the short carry-forward period in that state. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. If actual results do not meet the Company’s forecasts and the Company incurs lower than expected income or losses in 2011, then a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required in the future. In addition, with exception of the deductions related to the Company’s captive insurance for state taxes, state taxable income has been and is projected to be the same as Federal. Because the Company expects the captive insurance company to be discontinued in 2012, the assessment of the realizability of the state deferred tax assets is consistent with the Federal tax analysis above. The state net deferred tax asset balance as of June 20, 2011 is $21,066.
     In connection with the redemption of the Senior Discount Notes in May 2011, the Company will realize a $63,063 accreted interest deduction on its 2011 Federal tax return. The Company believes that this benefit, in conjunction with the additional 100% bonus depreciation deduction available in 2011 and 2012 and the existing NOL carry-forward from 2010, will result in no cash taxes paid to the Federal government until 2013.
10. Contingencies
     On or about March 1, 2005, in an action styled Sarah Cruz, et al v. Town Sports International, d/b/a New York Sports Club , plaintiffs commenced a purported class action against TSI, LLC in the Supreme Court, New York County, seeking unpaid wages and alleging that TSI, LLC violated various overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law with respect to the payment of wages to certain trainers and assistant fitness managers. On or about June 18, 2007, the same plaintiffs commenced a second purported class action against TSI, LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking unpaid wages and alleging that TSI, LLC violated various wage payment and overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law with respect to the payment of wages to all New York purported hourly employees. On September 17, 2010, TSI, LLC made motions to dismiss the class action allegations of both lawsuits for plaintiffs’ failure to timely file motions to certify the class actions. Oral argument on the motions occurred on November 10, 2010. A decision is still pending. While it is not possible to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or a range of loss in the case of an unfavorable outcome to TSI, LLC at this time, in the event of such an outcome, the Company intends to contest these cases vigorously. Depending upon the ultimate outcome, these matters may have a material adverse effect on TSI, LLC’s and the Company’s consolidated results of operations, or cash flows.
     On September 22, 2009, in an action styled Town Sports International, LLC v. Ajilon Solutions, a division of Ajilon

12


Table of Contents

Professional Staffing LLC (Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, 602911-09), TSI, LLC brought an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Ajilon for breach of contract, conversion and replevin, seeking, among other things, money damages against Ajilon for breaching its agreement to design and deliver to TSI, LLC a new sports club enterprise management system known as GIMS, including failing to provide copies of the computer source code written for GIMS, related documentation, properly identified requirements documents and other property owned and licensed by TSI, LLC. Subsequently, on October 14, 2009, Ajilon brought a counterclaim against TSI, LLC alleging breach of contract, alleging, among other things, failure to pay outstanding invoices in the amount of $2,900. On March 3, 2011, Ajilon amended its counterclaims to include claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. On March 7, 2011, TSI amended its complaint against Ajilon to add new allegations and claims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the “additional claims”). On March 28, 2011, Ajilon moved to dismiss the additional claims; TSI prepared its opposition and the motion is still pending. Subsequently, Ajilon amended its complaint to include a claim for unspecified additional damages for work allegedly performed by one of its subcontractors. Other than the pending dismissal motion, the litigation is currently in the discovery phase. We believe at this time the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable. TSI, LLC intends to prosecute vigorously its claims against Ajilon and defend against Ajilon’s counterclaims.
     On February 7, 2007, in an action styled White Plains Plaza Realty, LLC v. TSI, LLC et al ., the landlord of one of TSI, LLC’s former health and fitness clubs filed a lawsuit in state court against it and two of its health club subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of lease in connection with the decision to close the club located in a building owned by the plaintiff and leased to a subsidiary of TSI, LLC, and take additional space in the nearby facility leased by another subsidiary of TSI, LLC. The trial court granted the landlord damages against its tenant in the amount of approximately $700, including interest and costs (“Initial Award”). TSI, LLC was held to be jointly liable with the tenant for the amount of approximately $488, under a limited guarantee of the tenant’s lease obligations. The landlord subsequently appealed the trial court’s award of damages, and on December 21, 2010, the appellate court reversed, in part, the trial court’s decision and ordered the case remanded to the trial court for an assessment of additional damages, of approximately $750 plus interest and costs (the “Additional Award”). On February 7, 2011, the landlord moved for re-argument of the appellate court’s decision, seeking additional damages plus attorneys’ fees. On April 8, 2011, the appellate court denied the landlord’s motion. The Additional Award has not yet been entered as a judgment. TSI, LLC does not believe it is probable that TSI, LLC or any of its subsidiaries will be held liable to pay for any amount of the Additional Award. Separately, TSI, LLC is party to an agreement with a third-party developer, which by its terms provides indemnification for the full amount of any liability of any nature arising out of the lease described above, including attorneys’ fees incurred to enforce the indemnity. In connection with the Initial Award (and in furtherance of the indemnification agreement), TSI, LLC and the developer have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the developer has agreed to pay the amount of the Initial Award in installments over time. The indemnification agreement will cover the Additional Award as and if entered by the court.
     In addition to the litigation discussed above, we are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of business, including personal injury and employee relations claims. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. The results of these other lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty.
11. Subsequent Event
     As stated in Note 3 — Long-term debt, our outstanding long-term debt as of June 30, 2011, is attributable to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, which contains variable interest rates. On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement which effectively converted one-half, or $150,000, of our variable-rate debt based on one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.983%, or a total fixed rate of 7.483%, on this $150,000 when including the applicable 5.50% margin. These swaps mature on July 13, 2014. As permitted by FASB Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we have designated this swap as a cash flow hedge, the effects of which will be reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011. The objective of this hedge is to manage the variability of cash flows in the interest payments related to the portion of the variable-rate debt designated as being hedged.

Introduction
     In this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, references to “TSI Holdings,” “Town Sports,” “TSI,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and similar references refer to Town Sports International Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and references to “TSI, LLC” refer to Town Sports International, LLC, our wholly-owned operating subsidiary.
     Based on the number of clubs, we are one of the leading owners and operators of fitness clubs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and one of the largest fitness club owners and operators in the United States. As of June 30, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiaries, operated 158 fitness clubs. These clubs collectively served approximately 517,000 members, including 31,000 members under our new restricted student and teacher memberships as of June 30, 2011. We are the largest fitness club owner and operator in Manhattan with 37 locations (more than twice as many as our nearest competitor) and owned and operated a total of 106 clubs under the “New York Sports Clubs” brand name within a 120-mile radius of New York City as of June 30, 2011. We owned and operated 25 clubs in the Boston region under our “Boston Sports Clubs” brand name, 18 clubs (two of which are partly-owned) in the Washington, D.C. region under our “Washington Sports Clubs” brand name and six clubs in the Philadelphia region under our “Philadelphia Sports Clubs” brand name as of June 30, 2011. In addition, we owned and operated three clubs in Switzerland as of June 30, 2011. We employ localized brand names for our clubs to create an image and atmosphere consistent with the local community and to foster recognition as a local network of quality fitness clubs rather than a national chain.
     We develop clusters of clubs to serve densely populated major metropolitan regions and we service such populations by clustering clubs near the highest concentrations of our target customers’ areas of both employment and residence. Our clubs are located for maximum convenience to our members in urban or suburban areas, close to transportation hubs or office or retail centers. The majority of our members is between the ages of 21 and 60 and has an annual income of between $50,000 and $150,000. We believe that this “mid-value” segment of the market is not only the broadest but also the segment with the greatest growth opportunities. Our goal is to be the most recognized health club network in each of the four major metropolitan regions that we serve. We believe that our strategy of clustering clubs provides significant benefits to our members and allows us to achieve strategic operating advantages. In each of our markets, we have developed clusters by initially opening or acquiring clubs located in the more central urban markets of the region and then branching out from these urban centers to suburbs and neighboring communities.
Revenue and operating expenses
     We have two principal sources of revenue:
    Membership revenue: Our largest sources of revenue are dues and joining fees paid by our members. These dues and fees comprised 78.7% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We recognize revenue from membership dues in the month when the services are rendered. Approximately 96% of our members pay their monthly dues by Electronic Funds Transfer, or EFT, while the balance is paid annually in advance. We recognize revenue from joining fees over the expected average life of the membership.
    Ancillary club revenue: For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we generated 13.8% of our revenue from personal training and 6.5% of our revenue from other ancillary programs and services consisting of programming for children, group fitness training and other member activities, as well as sales of miscellaneous sports products.
     In addition, we receive revenue (approximately 1.0% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011) from the rental of space in our facilities to operators who offer wellness-related offerings, such as physical therapy and juice bars. In addition, we sell in-club advertising and sponsorships and generate management fees from certain club facilities that we do not wholly own. We refer to this revenue as Fees and Other revenue.
     Our performance is dependent on our ability to continually attract and retain members at our clubs. We experience attrition at our clubs and must attract new members to maintain our membership and revenue levels. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, our monthly average attrition rate was 3.2% compared to 3.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     Our operating and selling expenses are comprised of both fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs include club and supervisory and other salary and related expenses, occupancy costs, including most elements of rent, utilities, housekeeping and

contracted maintenance expenses, as well as depreciation. Variable costs are primarily related to payroll associated with ancillary club revenue, membership sales compensation, advertising, certain facility maintenance, and club supplies.
     General and administrative expenses include costs relating to our centralized support functions, such as accounting, insurance, information and communication systems, purchasing, member relations, legal and consulting fees and real estate development expenses. Payroll and related expenses are included in a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and are not included in general and administrative expenses.
     As clubs mature and increase their membership base, fixed costs are typically spread over an increasing revenue base and operating margins tend to improve. Conversely, when our membership base declines, our operating margins are negatively impacted. As of June 30, 2011, all of our clubs have been open over 24 months. Increases in our membership base have increased our operating margins in 2011 compared to 2010.
     As of June 30, 2011, 156 of the existing fitness clubs were wholly-owned by us and our condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of all such clubs. Two clubs in Washington, D.C. were partly-owned and operated by us, with our profit sharing percentages approximating 20% (after priority distributions) and 45%, respectively, and are treated as unconsolidated affiliates for which we apply the equity method of accounting. In addition, we provide management services at four fitness clubs located in colleges and universities in which we have no equity interest.
Restricted Memberships
     As part of our efforts to drive member sales, in April 2010 we began offering a new, favorably-priced, restricted-use month-to-month membership available to students and in April 2011, we also began offering this restricted membership to teachers, which is expected to run through the end of the summer. In years prior to 2010, we offered a three-month summer membership targeted at students generally priced at $199.00 for the entire summer. The new membership is a month-to-month membership with dues ranging from $20.00 to $29.00 per month with $138.00 in joining fees at the time of enrollment. As of June 30, 2011, we had approximately 31,000 restricted student/teacher members.

Comparable Club Revenue
     We define comparable club revenue as revenue at those clubs that were operated by us for over 12 months and comparable club revenue increases and decreases as revenue for the 13th month and thereafter as applicable as compared to the same period of the prior year.
     Key determinants of the comparable club revenue increases (decreases) shown in the table below are new memberships, member retention rates, pricing and ancillary revenue.

     Joining fees collected in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $3.5 million compared to $2.2 million in the same period in 2010. However, since joining fees revenue is recognized over the estimated average membership life, joining fee revenue decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to the decline in joining fees collected in 2009 and early 2010 relative to fees collected in prior periods.
     Personal training revenue increased 7.2% primarily due to increased member interest and perceived improvements in consumer confidence levels.

     Other ancillary club revenue improved 22.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year due to management focus and increased interest in our small group training programs.
     Comparable club revenue increased 1.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Increases in membership levels accounted for 2.5% and increases in ancillary club revenue accounted for 1.5%. These increases were offset by decreases in the pricing of club memberships of 2.5%

     Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were slightly impacted by a 1.7% decrease in the total months of club operation from 477 to 469, the effects of which are included in the additional descriptions of changes in operating expenses below.
          Payroll and related. This change was primarily impacted by the following:
    Payroll related to our membership consultants decreased $1.5 million. The amount of membership consultant commissions deferred over the prior two years had been declining with our decline in joining fees collected. We limit the amount of payroll costs that we defer to the amount of joining fees collected. This resulted in a decrease in membership consultant commissions expensed in the three months ended June 30, 2011 relating to deferrals established in prior periods. Also contributing to this decrease was an increase in the amount of payroll costs deferred in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 as joining fees collected increased.
 
    Payroll related to club staffing, excluding membership consultants, decreased $1.7 million from staffing efficiencies realized in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
 
    Payroll related to club and overhead bonuses increased $495,000 due to exceeding our budgeted performance plan.
     As a percentage of total revenue, payroll and related expenses decreased to 38.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 41.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2010.
          Club operating. This change was primarily impacted by the following:
    Utilities expense decreased $746,000.
    Facilities repairs and maintenance decreased $524,000.
    Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in occupancy related expenses of $851,000.
     As a percentage of total revenue, club operating expenses decreased to 36.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 37.3% in three months ended June 30, 2010.
     General and administrative. In the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat.
     As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 5.4% in three months ended June 30, 2010.

     Depreciation and amortization. In the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, depreciation and amortization decreased due to the closing of three clubs subsequent to June 30, 2010. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges, decreasing the balance of fixed assets to be depreciated in the three months ended June 30, 2011.
     As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization expenses were 11.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and three months ended June 30, 2010.
     Impairment of fixed assets. In the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges totaling $2.9 million, representing $1.2 million of fixed assets at an underperforming club and $1.7 million related to the planned closure of one club prior to its lease expiration date. There were no fixed asset impairment charges recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
     For the three months ended June 30, 2011, loss on extinguishment of debt was $4.9 million. The proceeds from the 2011 Senior Credit Facility obtained on May 11, 2011 were used to repay the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2007 Senior Credit Facility of $164.0 million and the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Senior Discount Notes of $138.45 million. We incurred $2.5 million of call premium on the Senior Discount Notes together with the write-off of $2.4 million of net deferred financing costs related to the debt extinguishment. There were no such costs in the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest expense
     In the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense increased due to refinancing of our debt on May 11, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes and in connection with the retirement of these notes, we paid an additional $1.3 million of interest, representing the 30 day notification period requirement.
Provision (Benefit) for Corporate Income Taxes
     We determined our income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2011 by estimating its 2011 effective annual tax rate. This is a change from how we determined its income tax provision (benefit) in each of the quarterly reporting periods in 2010. In each of the quarterly reporting periods, we could not reliably estimate its 2010 effective annual tax rate because small changes in annual estimated income before provision for corporate income taxes (pre-tax results) could have had a significant impact on our annual estimated effective tax rate. Accordingly, in 2010 we calculated our effective tax rate based on pre-tax results in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The annual effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 was (33)%.
     We recorded a provision for corporate income taxes of $72,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate was 21% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to (63)% in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our provision includes a discrete benefit of $2.1 million for the $4.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $0.5 million of discrete charges in the three months ended June 30, 2011 that primarily relate to the adjustment of estimated jurisdictional tax rates in effect in 2011. The expected benefits from our captive insurance arrangement changed our effective tax rate on our pre-tax income in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 31% to 21% and changed our effective tax rate on the pre-tax loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from (46)% to (63)%. We expect the captive insurance company to be discontinued in 2012. In 2012, we expect our effective tax rate to approximate 43%.

      membership consultant commissions expensed in the six months ended June 30, 2011 relating to deferrals established in prior periods. Also contributing to this decrease was an increase in the amount of payroll costs deferred in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 as joining fees collected increased.
    Payroll related to club staffing, excluding membership consultants, decreased $2.9 million from staffing efficiencies realized in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to the same period in 2010.
    Payroll related to severance decreased $1.1 million related to employee reductions in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
    Payroll related to club and overhead bonuses increased $825,000 due to our year to date 2011 performance exceeding our targets.
     As a percentage of total revenue, payroll and related expenses decreased to 38.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 41.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
      Club operating. This change was primarily impacted by the following:
    Advertising expenses decreased $941,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with the same period last year due to efforts to spend more productively and adjusting the focus toward media advertising beginning in the second half of 2010.
    Utilities decreased $528,000.
    Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in occupancy related expenses of $1.7 million.
     As a percentage of total revenue, club operating expenses slightly increased to 37.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 37.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable to decreases in general liability insurance expense due to further reduction in claims activity and therefore a reduction of claims reserves and decreases in legal and related fees for various litigations. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred costs related to a leadership conference, which was not held in 2011.
     As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 6.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Depreciation and amortization. In the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, depreciation and amortization decreased due to the closing of three clubs subsequent to June 30, 2010. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges, decreasing the balance of fixed assets to be depreciated in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
     As a percentage of total revenue, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 11.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 11.5% in six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Impairment of fixed assets. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded fixed asset impairment charges totaling $3.3 million, representing $1.6 million of fixed assets at three underperforming clubs and $1.7 million related to the planned closure of one club prior to lease expiration date. There were no such charges in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Loss on extinguishment of debt
     For the six months ended June 30, 2011, loss on extinguishment of debt was $4.9 million. The proceeds from the 2011 Senior Credit Facility obtained on May 11, 2011 were used to repay the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 2007 Senior Credit Facility of $164.0 million and the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Senior Discount Notes of $138.45 million. We incurred $2.5 million of call premium on the Senior Discount Notes together with the write-off of $2.4 million of net deferred financing costs related to the debt extinguishment. There were no such costs in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense
     In the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense increased due to refinancing of our debt on May 11, 2011. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes and in connection with the retirement of these notes, we paid an additional $1.3 million of interest, representing the 30 day notification period requirement.
Provision (Benefit) for Corporate Income Taxes
          We determined its income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011 by estimating its 2011 effective annual tax rate. This is a change from how we determined its income tax provision/(benefit) in each of the quarterly reporting periods in 2010. In each of the quarterly reporting periods, we could not reliably estimate its 2010 effective annual tax rate because small changes in annual estimated income before provision for corporate income taxes (pre-tax results) could have had a significant impact on our annual estimated effective tax rate. Accordingly, in 2010 we calculated its effective tax rate based on pre-tax results in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The 2010 annual effective tax rate as of the year ended December 31, 2010 was (33)%.
          We recorded a provision for corporate income taxes of $601,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate was 35% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to (61)% in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our provision includes a discrete benefit of $2.1 million for the $4.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt and $549,000 of discrete charges in Q2 that primarily relate to the adjustment of estimated jurisdictional tax rates in effect in 2011. The expected benefits from our Captive Insurance arrangement decreased our effective tax rate on our pre-tax loss in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and increased the benefit on the pre-tax income in the six months ended June 30, 2010.
          As of June 30, 2011, we had net deferred tax assets of $40.9 million. Quarterly, we assess the weight of all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether the net deferred tax asset is realizable. In 2010, we incurred a slight loss, but returned to profitability in Q1 2011 and in Q2 2011 when excluding discrete events.. We have historically been a taxpayer and expects that it will be in a three year cumulative income position, excluding non-recurring items, as of December 31, 2011. In addition, we, based on recent trends, projects improved performance and future income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the periods when the temporary tax deductible differences reverse. We have Federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards which we believe will be realized within the available carry-forward period, except for a small operating loss carry-forward in Rhode Island due to the short carry-forward period in that state. Accordingly, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. If actual results do not meet our forecasts and we incur lower than expected income or losses in 2011, then a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets may be required in the future. In addition, with exception of the deductions related to our captive insurance for state taxes, state taxable income has been and is projected to be the same as Federal. Because we expect the captive insurance company to be discontinued in 2012, the assessment of the realizability of the state deferred tax assets is consistent with the Federal tax analysis above. We expect the captive insurance company to be discontinued in 2012. In 2012, we expect our effective tax rate to approximate 43%.
          In connection with the redemption of the Senior Discount Notes in May 2011, we will realize a $63.1 million accreted interest deduction on our 2011 Federal tax return. We believe that this benefit, in conjunction with the additional 100% bonus depreciation deduction available in 2011 and 2012 and the existing NOL carry-forward from 2010, will result in no cash taxes paid to the Federal government until 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
          Historically, we have satisfied our liquidity needs through cash generated from operations and various borrowing arrangements. Principal liquidity needs have included the acquisition and development of new clubs, debt service requirements and other capital expenditures necessary to upgrade, expand and renovate existing clubs. We believe that we can satisfy our current and longer-term debt obligations and capital expenditure requirements primarily with cash flow from operations and our borrowing arrangements for at least the next 12 months, although there can be no assurance that such actions can or will be completed.
          Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 19.0%, or $5.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase was partially related to the increase in overall

earnings. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, due to the timing of payments, prepaid rent decreased $5.0 million, while in the six months ended June 30, 2010 there was no cash flow effect related to prepaid rent. The effect of the change in deferred revenue and deferred membership costs increased cash $1.4 million in the aggregate compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 from the increase in joining fees collected. In addition, income tax refunds, net of cash paid for income taxes, increased $4.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Cash paid for interest increased $7.4 million, partially offsetting the cash increases. Cash paid for interest increased principally because the interest paid on our Senior Discount Notes was at the time of our May 11, 2011 debt refinancing, while in 2010, the semi-annual interest payment was not made until August.
     Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Investing activities in both six month periods consisted of expanding and remodeling existing clubs, and the purchase of new fitness equipment. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company also began construction on two clubs, which we expect to open in the second half of the year. There were no future clubs under construction in the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the year ending December 31, 2011, we estimate we will invest $29.0 million to $32.0 million in capital expenditures, which represents an increase from $22.0 million of capital expenditures in 2010. This amount includes approximately $8.0 million related to the two planned club openings in the second half of 2011, approximately $15.5 million to continue to upgrade existing clubs and $4.3 million principally related to major renovations at clubs with recent lease renewals and upgrading our in-club entertainment system network. We also expect to invest $2.0 million to $3.0 million to enhance our management information and communication systems. These expenditures will be funded by cash flow provided by operations, available cash on hand and, to the extent needed, borrowings from our revolving credit facility.
     Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities increased $27.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we made principal payments of $14.1 million on the 2007 Term Loan Facility and in the six months ended June 30, 2010, we made principal payments of $925,000 thereon. On May 11, 2011, we refinanced our long-term debt. In accordance with the refinancing, we repaid the remaining principal amounts of the 2007 Term Loan Facility of $164.0 million and the Senior Discount Notes of $138.5 million and received $297.0 million under the 2011 Term Loan Facility, net of the original issue discount of $3.0 million. In connection with the refinancing, we paid $8.1 million in debt issuance costs.
     As of June 30, 2011, we had $34.5 million of cash and cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Although we deposit our cash with more than one financial institution, as of June 30, 2011 approximately $15.1 million was held at one financial institution. We have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalent accounts to date and we do not believe that, based on the credit ratings of the aforementioned institutions, we are exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash at this time.
     As of June 30, 2011, our total consolidated debt was $296.3 million, net of an unamortized original issue discount of $2.9 million. This substantial amount of debt could have significant consequences, including:
  making it more difficult to satisfy our obligations;
 
  increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic conditions;
 
  limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of new clubs and other general corporate requirements;
 
  requiring cash flow from operations for the payment of interest on our credit facility and our Senior Discount Notes and the payment of principal pursuant to excess cash flow requirements and reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of new clubs and general corporate requirements; and
 
  limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate.
These limitations and consequences may place us at a competitive disadvantage to other less-leveraged competitors.
2011 Senior Credit Facility
     On May 11, 2011, TSI, LLC entered into the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility consists of the 2011 Term Loan Facility and the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility. The 2011 Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount (“OID”) of 1.0% or $3.0 million. The proceeds were used to pay off amounts outstanding under the 2007 Senior Credit Facility, to pay the redemption price for all of our outstanding Senior Discount Notes, and to pay related fees and

23


Table of Contents

expenses. None of the revolving facility was drawn as of the closing date, but loans under the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility may be drawn from time to time pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The 2011 Term Loan Facility matures on May 11, 2018, and the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility matures on May 11, 2016. The borrowings under the 2011 Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed and secured by assets and pledges of capital stock by TSI, LLC and the wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of TSI, LLC.
     The $3.0 million OID is recorded as a contra-liability to Long-Term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011, and is being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method. The unamortized balance of the OID as of June 30, 2011 is $2.9 million.
     As of June 30, 2011, there were no outstanding 2011 Revolving Loan Facility borrowings and outstanding letters of credit issued totaled $9.5 million. The unutilized portion of the 2011 Revolving Loan Facility as of June 30, 2011 was $40.5 million.
     Borrowings under the 2011 Term Loan Facility, at TSI, LLC’s option, bear interest at either the administrative agent’s base rate plus 4.5% or its Eurodollar rate plus 5.5%, each as defined in the 2011 Senior Credit Facility. The Eurodollar Rate has a floor of 1.50% and the base rate a floor of 2.50% with respect to the outstanding Term Loans. As of June 30, 2011, the interest rate was 7.0%. TSI, LLC is required to pay 0.25% of principal, or $750 per quarter and repaid principal of $750 on June 30, 2011 accordingly. If, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of TSI Holdings (commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011), the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.75:1.00, TSI, LLC is required to pay $3,750, or 1.25% of principal. As of June 30, 2011, TSI, LLC had a senior secured leverage ratio of 3.39:1.00 and TSI, LLC will be required to make a principal payment of $3,750 on September 30, 2011.
     The terms of the 2011 Senior Credit Facility provide for financial covenants which require TSI, LLC to maintain a senior secured leverage ratio, as defined, of no greater than 5.25:1.00 as of June 30, 2011, with step-downs of 0.25 in each of the next three quarters arriving at an ultimate senior secured leverage ratio requirement of 4.50:1.00 or less effective March 31, 2012 and thereafter; an interest expense coverage ratio of no less than 2.00:1.00; and a covenant that limits capital expenditures to $40,000 for the four quarters ending in any quarter during which the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00:1.00 and to $50,000 for the four quarters ending in any quarter during which the ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.50:1.00. This covenant does not limit capital expenditures if the ratio is less than or equal to 2.50:1.00. TSI, LLC was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2011 with a senior secured leverage ratio of 3.39:1:00 and an interest coverage ratio of 3.69:1.00.
          TSI, LLC may prepay the 2011 Term Loan Facility and 2011 Revolving Loan Facility without premium or penalty in accordance with the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, except that a prepayment premium of 2.0% is payable prior to May 11, 2012 and a prepayment premium of 1.0% is payable from May 11, 2012 to May 11, 2013. Mandatory prepayments are required in certain circumstances relating to cash flow in excess of certain expenditures, asset sales, insurance recovery and incurrence of certain other debt. The 2011 Senior Credit Facility contains provisions that require excess cash flow payments, as defined, to be applied against outstanding 2011 Term Loan Facility balances. The applicable excess cash flow repayment percentage is applied to the excess cash flow when determining the excess cash flow payment. Earnings, changes in working capital and capital expenditure levels all impact the determination of any excess cash flows. The applicable excess cash flow repayment percentage is 75% when the senior secured leverage ratio exceeds 3.00:1.00; 50% when the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.50:1.00 but less than 3.00:1.00; 25% when the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.00:1.00 but less than 2.50:1.00 and 0% when the senior secured leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.00:1.00. As of June 30, 2011, the 2011 Term Loan Facility has a balance of $296.3 million, net of the unamortized OID.
     Debt issuance costs related to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were $8.1 million, of which, $7.3 million is being amortized as interest expense, and are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unamortized loan costs of $1.6 million related to the 2007 Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Discount Notes and $777,000 of costs related to the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were written off in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and are included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Repayment of 2007 Senior Credit Facility
     Contemporaneously with entry into the 2011 Senior Credit Facility, TSI, LLC repaid the outstanding principal amount of the 2007 Term Loan Facility of $164.0 million. The 2007 Term Loan Facility was set to expire on the earlier of February 27, 2014, or August 1, 2013, if the Senior Discount Notes were still outstanding. There were no outstanding amounts under the 2007 Revolving Loan Facility as of this date. The 2007 Term Loan Facility was redeemed for face value plus accrued and unpaid interest of $447,000 and fees related to the letters of credit of $27,000. The total cash paid in connection with the redemption was $164.5 million as of May 11, 2011 with no early repayment penalty. We determined that the 2011 Senior

24


Table of Contents

Credit Facility was not substantially different than the 2007 Senior Credit facility for certain lenders based on the less than 10% difference in cash flows of the respective debt instruments. A portion of the transaction was therefore accounted for as a modification of the 2007 Senior Credit Facility and a portion was accounted for as an extinguishment. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded refinancing charges of approximately $634,000, representing the write-off of the remaining unamortized debt costs related to the 2007 Senior Credit Facility, which is included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Redemption of Senior Discount Notes
     A portion of the proceeds from the 2011 Senior Credit Facility were also used to pay the remaining principal amount on the Senior Discount Notes of $138.45 million plus a call premium of 1.833% of the principal amount thereof totaling approximately $2.5 million and accrued interest of $5.5 million. The accrued interest included interest through May 11, 2011 of $4.2 million, plus 30 days of additional interest of $1.3 million, representing the interest charge during the 30 day notification period. We determined that the 2011 Senior Credit Facility was substantially different than the Senior Discount Notes. In the three months ended June 30, 2011, we wrote-off unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $916,000 related to the redemption of the Senior Discount Notes, which is included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
     The aggregate long-term debt and operating lease obligations as of June 30, 2011 were as follows:
                                         
    Payments Due by Period (in thousands)

Notes:
(1)   Includes variable interest on the 2011 Term Loan Facility using the rate as of June 30, 2011 of 7.0%.
 
(2)   Operating lease obligations include base rent only. Certain leases provide for additional rent based on real estate taxes, common area maintenance and defined amounts based on the operating results of the lessee.
     The following long-term liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet are excluded from the table above: income taxes (including uncertain tax positions or benefits), insurance accruals and other accruals. We are unable to estimate the timing of payments for these items.
     In recent years, we have typically operated with a working capital deficit. We had a working capital deficit of $35.4 million at June 30, 2011, as compared with $22.9 million at December 31, 2010. Major components of our working capital deficit on the current liability side are deferred revenues, accrued expenses (including, among others, accrued construction in progress and equipment, payroll and occupancy costs) and the current portion of long-term debt. These current liabilities more than offset the main current assets, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. Payments underlying the current liability for deferred revenue might not be held as cash and cash equivalents, but may be used for the Company’s business needs, including financing and investing commitments, which contributes to the working capital deficit. The deferred revenue liability relates to dues and services paid-in-full in advance and joining fees paid at the time of enrollment and totaled $41.2 million and $35.1 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Joining fees received are deferred and amortized over the estimated average membership life of a club member. Since July 1, 2010, this estimated average membership life has been 27 months. Prepaid dues are generally realized over a period of up to twelve months, while fees for prepaid services normally are realized over a period of one to nine months. In periods when we increase the number of clubs open and consequently increase the level of payments received in advance, we anticipate that we will continue to have deferred revenue balances at levels similar to or greater than those currently maintained. By contrast, any decrease in demand for our services or reductions in joining fees collected would have the effect of reducing deferred revenue balances, which would likely require us to rely more heavily on other sources of funding. The increase in joining fees and our cash balance has increased the working capital deficit. In either case, a significant portion of the deferred revenue is not expected to constitute a liability that must be funded with cash. At the time a member joins our club, we incur enrollment costs, a portion of which are deferred over 27 months. These costs are recorded as a long-term asset and as such; do

not offset the working capital deficit. We expect to record a working capital deficit in future periods and, as in the past, will fund such deficit using cash flows from operations and borrowings under our 2011 Senior Credit Facility or other credit facilities, which resources we believe will be sufficient to cover such deficit.

Forward-Looking Statements
     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding future financial results and performance, potential sales revenue, legal contingencies and tax benefits, and the existence of adverse litigation and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth under Item 1A., entitled “Risk Factors”, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and in our other reports and documents filed with the SEC. These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, including, among others, the level of market demand for our services, economic conditions affecting the Company’s business, the geographic concentration of the Company’s clubs, competitive pressure, the ability to achieve reductions in operating costs and to continue to integrate acquisitions, environmental matters, any security and privacy breaches involving customer data, the levels and terms of the Company’s indebtedness, and other specific factors discussed herein and in other SEC filings by us (including our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC). We believe that all forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions when made; however, we caution that it is impossible to predict actual results or outcomes or the effects of risks, uncertainties or other factors on anticipated results or outcomes and that, accordingly, one should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when made and we undertake no obligation to update these statements in light of subsequent events or developments. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results or outcomes discussed in any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Our debt consists of both fixed and variable rates and is therefore exposed to market risks resulting from interest rate fluctuations. We regularly evaluate our exposure to these risks and take measures to mitigate these risks on our consolidated financial results. We do not participate in speculative derivative trading.
     Subsequent to our May 11, 2011 debt refinancing, and through June 30, 2011, we had $300.0 million of outstanding principal on the 2011 Term Loan Facility. Borrowings for the 2011 Term Loan Facility are for one-month periods in the case of Eurodollar borrowings. A 100 basis point interest increase would not have affected interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as this debt contains a Eurodollar floor of 1.5%. As of June 30, 2011, we had $299.25 million outstanding on the 2011 Term Loan Facility after our first principal repayment of $750,000.
     For additional information concerning the terms of our 2011 Term Loan Facility, see Note 3 — Long Term Debt to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
          Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives however, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired controls.
          As of June 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective at that reasonable assurance level.
          Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
          On or about March 1, 2005, in an action styled Sarah Cruz, et al v. Town Sports International, d/b/a New York Sports Club , plaintiffs commenced a purported class action against TSI, LLC in the Supreme Court, New York County, seeking unpaid wages and alleging that TSI, LLC violated various overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law with respect to the payment of wages to certain trainers and assistant fitness managers. On or about June 18, 2007, the same plaintiffs commenced a second purported class action against TSI, LLC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, seeking unpaid wages and alleging that TSI, LLC violated various wage payment and overtime provisions of the New York State Labor Law with respect to the payment of wages to all New York purported hourly employees. On September 17, 2010, TSI, LLC made motions to dismiss the class action allegations of both lawsuits for plaintiffs’ failure to timely file motions to certify the class actions. Oral argument on the motions occurred on November 10, 2010. A decision is still pending. While it is not possible to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or a range of loss in the case of an unfavorable outcome to TSI, LLC at this time, in the event of such an outcome, we intend to contest these cases vigorously. Depending upon the ultimate outcome, these matters may have a material adverse effect on TSI, LLC’s and the Company’s consolidated results of operations, or cash flows.
          On September 22, 2009, in an action styled Town Sports International, LLC v. Ajilon Solutions , a division of Ajilon Professional Staffing LLC (Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, 602911-09), TSI, LLC brought an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Ajilon for breach of contract, conversion and replevin, seeking, among other things, money damages against Ajilon for breaching its agreement to design and deliver to TSI, LLC a new sports club enterprise management system known as GIMS, including failing to provide copies of the computer source code written for GIMS, related documentation, properly identified requirements documents and other property owned and licensed by TSI, LLC. Subsequently, on October 14, 2009, Ajilon brought a counterclaim against TSI, LLC alleging breach of contract, alleging, among other things, failure to pay outstanding invoices in the amount of $2.9 million. On March 3, 2011, Ajilon amended its counterclaims to include claims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. On March 7, 2011, TSI amended its complaint against Ajilon to add new allegations and claims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the “additional claims”). On March 28, 2011, Ajilon moved to dismiss the additional claims; TSI prepared its opposition and the motion is still pending. Subsequently, Ajilon amended its complaint to include a claim for unspecified additional damages for work allegedly performed by one of its subcontractors. Other than the pending dismissal motion, the litigation is currently in the discovery phase. We believe at this time the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable. TSI, LLC intends to prosecute vigorously its claims against Ajilon and defend against Ajilon’s counterclaims.
          On February 7, 2007, in an action styled White Plains Plaza Realty, LLC v. TSI, LLC et al ., the landlord of one of TSI, LLC’s former health and fitness clubs filed a lawsuit in state court against it and two of its health club subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of lease in connection with the decision to close the club located in a building owned by the plaintiff and leased to a subsidiary of TSI, LLC, and take additional space in the nearby facility leased by another subsidiary of TSI, LLC. The trial court granted the landlord damages against its tenant in the amount of approximately $700,000, including interest and costs (“Initial Award”). TSI, LLC was held to be jointly liable with the tenant for the amount of approximately $488,000, under a limited guarantee of the tenant’s lease obligations. The landlord subsequently appealed the trial court’s award of damages, and on December 21, 2010, the appellate court reversed, in part, the trial court’s decision and ordered the case remanded to the trial court for an assessment of additional damages, of approximately $750,000 plus interest and costs (the “Additional Award”). On February 7, 2011, the landlord moved for re-argument of the appellate court’s decision, seeking additional damages plus attorneys’ fees. On April 8, 2011, the appellate court denied the landlord’s motion. The Additional Award has not yet been entered as a judgment. TSI, LLC does not believe it is probable that TSI, LLC or any of its subsidiaries will be held liable to pay for any amount of the Additional Award. Separately, TSI, LLC is party to an agreement with a third-party developer, which by its terms provides indemnification for the full amount of any liability of any nature arising out of the lease described above, including attorneys’ fees incurred to enforce the indemnity. In connection with the Initial Award (and in furtherance of the indemnification agreement), TSI, LLC and the developer have entered into an agreement pursuant to which the developer has agreed to pay the amount of the Initial Award in installments over time. The indemnification agreement will cover the Additional Award as and if entered by the court.
          In addition to the litigation discussed above, we are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of business, including personal injury and employee relations claims. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. The results
