CHICAGO (AP) - Bally Total Fitness Holding Corp. said Wednesday it won't be able to release financial statements for 2002-2004 by a July 31 deadline and will be in technical default on some of its debt unless it can obtain an extension.
The fitness center operator said it will seek an extension until Oct. 31 to disclose the results from its public noteholders. Initial waivers, which run out this month, were granted last December after an audit committee investigation turned up numerous errors in its past accounting. Terms of the notes require disclosure of the results.
The Chicago-based company fired two midlevel executives in February and accused former chief executive Lee Hillman and former chief financial officer John Dwyer of faulty accounting practices. Both have claimed they are innocent. Federal regulators are still investigating Bally's past accounting.
