Results of Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue. Revenue increased $504,000 or 2.7%, to $19,207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $18,703,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Fitness Management
Our Fitness Management segment declined 5.4%, or $560,000, which included a decline in staffing services of $504,000, or 5.2%, and a decline in program services of $56,000, or 9.0%. This revenue decline is primarily due to contract terminations we experienced in 2008 and 2009 related to customer reaction to the recessionary business climate.
If the economic recession continues for the remainder of 2009, it is possible we could continue to experience a higher level of staffing services revenue loss in our Fitness Management segment. Our most at risk contracts moving into 2009 include those in the automotive industry, although we believe the current recession may have an adverse impact on many industries, which could affect our other customers and lead to further revenue loss from contract termination or service reduction. With respect to the automotive industry, we have lost approximately $1.7 million in revenue over the past twelve to eighteen months. During 2009, we expect to realize approximately $2.5 million in revenue from our automotive contracts, and if their financial difficulties continue, we may see similar revenue losses during 2009.
It is also possible we could experience further declines in Fitness Management program service revenue during 2009. Program service revenue is derived from fees we charge to members of our managed fitness centers for services such as personal training, massage therapy, weight loss programs and special fitness classes. The revenue decline we experienced in the first quarter of 2009 is attributed to the effects of the recessionary economy, employment reductions and our members decreasing their spending on discretionary services. We believe this trend will continue during 2009.

Because we are the largest provider of fitness management services in the United States, we believe the number of opportunities to bid on new business during 2009 should be consistent with past years. In order to increase our chances of winning new business in 2009 and reverse the historical decline of our fitness management revenue, we also believe that we will need to lower our pricing to be competitive in this market, which may result in lower profitability. Health Management
Our Health Management segment contributed total revenue growth of 12.7%, or $1,064,000, which includes growth from staffing services of $246,000, or 5.7%, and growth from program services of $818,000, or 20.0%. Overall, the growth in staffing revenue is attributable to new customers and the expansion of sales to existing customers. The increase in program services, compared to last year, was primarily driven by a $0.6 million increase in health coaching and advising services, a $0.1 million increase in biometric screening services and a $0.1 million increase related to eHealth platform participation.
For 2009, we anticipate that the economic recession may have a negative impact on revenue from existing customers. It is possible that many of our health management customers may reduce the scope of their programs during 2009 as a measure to conserve cash and improve profitability. Our health management revenue may also be negatively affected by lower participation rates at some customers due to employee layoffs. At the same time, the recessionary economy has also lengthened the sales cycle for new opportunities. The combination of these events, if they materialize, may challenge our ability to increase 2009 revenue on a basis consistent with past growth. 2009 Customer Commitments and Cancellations For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received a total of four health management commitments and one fitness management commitment. This commitment activity for 2009 may realize annualized revenue of $1.6 million, to be partially offset by a potential annualized revenue loss of $0.5 million from fitness and health management contract cancellations. These cancellations reflect the continuing weakness in the economy and the challenges companies expect to face during 2009.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $949,000, or 17.8%, to $6,291,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $5,342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Total gross margin increased to 32.8%, from 28.6% for the same period last year, which is primarily due to Health Management revenue representing a larger percentage of our total revenue and improved margins for both Health Management and Fitness Management staffing services and Health Management program services.
Fitness Management
Fitness Management gross profit increased $10,000, which includes an increase of $24,000 from staffing services and a decline of $14,000 from program services. Gross margin for our Fitness Management segment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 24.2%, from 22.8% for the same period of 2008. This result is primarily due to a gross margin increase in staffing services, which increased from 21.8% for the same period last year, to 23.3%, and a gross margin increase in program services, which increased from 38.2% for the same period last year, to 39.6%. The margin increase for staffing services is primarily due to the retention of higher margin customers and lower costs for employee paid time off, medical benefits and workers compensation costs. The margin increase for program services is primarily due to the mix of programs delivered during the quarter as compared to the same period last year.

Health Management
Health Management gross profit increased $939,000, which includes growth of $201,000 from staffing services and growth of $738,000 from program services. Gross margin for our Health Management segment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 41.6%, from 35.7% for the same period of 2008. This result is primarily due to a gross margin increase in staffing services, which increased from 21.9% for the same period last year, to 25.1%, and a gross margin increase in program services, which increased from 50.2% for the same period last year, to 56.9%. The gross margin increase for staffing services is primarily due to operating expense savings. The gross margin increase in program services is primarily due to increased margins on health coaching and advising services.
The anticipated negative impact of the economic recession discussed above may challenge our ability to improve gross profit and margins in 2009 on a basis consistent with past growth.
Operating Expenses and Operating Income. Operating expenses decreased $187,000, or 3.9%, to $4,592,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $4,779,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
This decrease is primarily due to general operating costs savings. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, operating expenses, as a percent of revenue, were 23.9%, compared to 25.5% for the same period last year.
Operating margin increased to 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 3.0% for the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to sales growth in our Health Management segment, cost efficiencies related to staffing services and Health Management segment program services and a lower ratio of operating expenses to revenue as discussed above. Since 2009 revenue growth may be challenged by recessionary pressures, our strategies to maximize our operating profitability will focus on closely managing operating expenses and improving business processes.
If we continue to experience profitable operations resulting in increased stockholders' equity value, and if our market price per share does not increase accordingly, it is possible this may trigger an impairment of goodwill in future periods. In addition, our earnings might not maintain or increase at the rate the market expects, or in parity with our competition, which could contribute to a decline in our share price when compared to others in our industry. As a result of these and other factors, we could experience a partial or complete goodwill impairment of one or both of our segments or our company as a whole. An impairment would have a negative impact on our profitability. Other Income and Expense. Interest expense was inconsequential during the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased $451,000 to $697,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to increased operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to the same period of 2008. Our effective tax rate was 41.0% of earnings before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 42.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Compared to our normal effective tax rate of 38.5%, our current effective tax rate is higher due primarily to the non-deductibility of compensation expense for incentive stock options.
Net Earnings Applicable to Common Shareholders. Net earnings applicable to common shareholders increased $678,000 to $1,003,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily due to sales growth in our Health Management segment, cost efficiencies related to staffing services and Health Management segment program services and a lower ratio of operating expenses to revenue as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our working capital increased $1,150,000 to $11,850,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $10,700,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase is largely attributable to our improved operating results and cash accumulation strategy given current economic conditions.
In addition to cash flows generated from operating activities, our other primary source of liquidity and working capital is provided by a $3,500,000 Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Wells Loan"). Effective with the renewal of the Wells Loan on March 24, 2009, interest will be computed using the daily three month LIBOR rate plus a markup of 2.75% (effective rate of 3.9% and 3.25% at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively). The Wells Loan matures on June 30, 2011, as amended. Working capital advances from the Wells Loan are based upon a percentage of our eligible accounts receivable, less any amounts drawn and outstanding. The facility provided maximum borrowing capacity of $3,250,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively and no debt was outstanding on those dates. There were no borrowings under the line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Although we do not anticipate borrowing from the Wells Loan in 2009, we have extended the agreement, as previously discussed, to provide an additional source of funding. All borrowings are collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants.
We believe our short and long-term capital needs will be met with cash flows generated by operations. We anticipate investment activities in 2009 will be at or below 2008 levels and will be funded through operating cash flows. Capitalized software development costs, as previously discussed, are primarily related to enhancements to our eHealth platform. These enhancements are made to improve efficiencies and/or generate additional revenues and are, thus, discretionary in nature.
We have not seen a material change in the payment activities of our customers in 2008 and do not anticipate a material change in 2009. We do, however, expect to realize approximately $2.5 million in revenue from our existing automotive contracts in 2009 and will continue to monitor their financial health as it relates to outstanding accounts receivable. On April 30, 2009, an automotive customer in our fitness management segment filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Our outstanding receivable from this customer is approximately $34,000 and is covered by our allowance for doubtful accounts should it become uncollectible. In addition, we collected receivable payments of approximately $137,000 from the customer during the 90 days before the bankruptcy filing. Such payments may constitute preferential payments recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code. We believe we have valid defenses to any potential claim for these payments and will not be required to repay the full amount. Our contract with this customer may be rejected as part of the bankruptcy proceeding. In addition, there is speculation that another automotive customer in our fitness management segment may file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 on or about June 1, 2009. Our outstanding receivable from this customer is approximately $283,000. Within the last 90 days, we have collected receivable payments of approximately $110,000 from this customer, which could be recoverable as preferential payments under the Bankruptcy Code. We believe we also have valid defenses to any potential claim for these payments. Our contract with this customer may also be rejected as part of any bankruptcy proceeding. If this customer files for bankruptcy, we may need to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts to cover our exposure related to this customer. Both of these automotive companies are expected to continue in business, but there can be no assurance that they will continue their fitness contracts with our company. Our revenue from these customers was approximately $2,909,000 and $352,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the quarter ended March 31, 2009, respectively.
INFLATION
We do not believe that inflation has significantly impacted our results of operations in any of the last three completed fiscal years.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities.

The words "potential," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "will," "plan," "anticipate," and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management. Such forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our inability to deliver the health management services demanded by major corporations and other clients, our inability to successfully cross-sell health management services to our fitness management clients, our inability to successfully obtain new business opportunities, our failure to have sufficient resources to make investments, our ability to make investments and implement strategies successfully, continued delays in obtaining new commitments and implementing services, the continued deterioration of general economic conditions, the actions of automotive customers and bankruptcy courts, and those matters identified and discussed in Item 1A of the 2008 Form 10-K under "Risk Factors."
