We do not use any public figure to promote our Franchises, but may do so in the future.
The FTC's Franchise Rule permits a franchisor to provide information about the actual or
potential financial performance of its franchised and/or franchisor-owned outlets, if there is a
reasonable basis for the information, and if the information is included in the disclosure
document. Financial performance information that differs from that included in Item 19 may be
given only if: (1) a franchisor provides the actual records of an existing outlet you are
considering buying; or (2) a franchisor supplements the information provided in this Item 19, for
example, by providing information about possible performance at a particular location or under
particular circumstances.
Both of the OoveredStudios face competitionin their markets tromhealth clubs and
similar operations Both o t t h e Covered Studios operate in higbincome areas within large
metropolitan OMAs, which is where we expect the first new OYOLEBAR Studios will operate
The following charts reflect tbe Oross Revenue, certain expenses, and EBITDA (defined
below) forthe Covered Studios during the 20t4calendar year:
Expenses •• ir^j.

Merchant Services $17,040 $1,420 2.14%

1. We calculated the figures in the tables above using information that the Covered
Studio owners provided. Prospective franchisees and sellers of franchises should be advised
that no certified public accountant has audited these figures or expressed his or her opinion
concerning their contents or form, nor have we sought to independently verify their accuracy.
Upon your reasonable request, we will provide written substantiation for this financial
performance representation.
3. "Merchant Services" includes the processing and bank fees that the Covered
Studios pay for processing credit and debit card payments.
The Payroll figures do not include any amounts paid to the owners of the Covered
Studios who act as managers for the Covered Studios. Because the Covered Studios do not
operate with managers other than the owners, the Payroll and other cost figures for the Covered
Studios do not reflect any costs for management employees. Though you may serve as both
Operating Principal and Key Manager and are not required to hire additional managers, we
anticipate that many of our franchisees will hire managers to assist in the operation of Studios,
which will result in additional payroll expenses.
5. "Rent" retiects the amounts paid tor rent, common area maintenance charges,
andotheramounts paid tothe iandiordsunder the Covered Studio'siease. SothCovered
Studios operate under leases with unattiiiatediandiords The Rent figure for the Weiiesiey
Studio includes property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance charges, because
those costs are included in the rent under the iease. Rowever,the rent in the RoyaiCak iease
does not include property taxes, insurance, or common area maintenance charges^ so the Rent
and other costs figures for the RoyaiCak Studio do not reflect any ot these costs. Lease costs
can vary widely depending on the size and location otthe premises.
6 "Marketing" includes amounts paid tor local advertising and marketing tor the
Covered Studio, including local advertising and marketing, content marketing, someprinted
materials and social media services. Tbis figure does not include costs tor website
maintenance. You mustimplementagrand opening advertising program of at least $30,000,
pay the Marketing Fee (it we implement it) of 2% ofyour Cross Revenues, and comply with the
Marketing Spending Reguirement and your other advertising and marketing obligations under
the Franchise Agreement, which require expenditures ot at least $t3,000 in your first year ot
operation and at least $t2,000 in subsequent years. The Covered Studios operated under the
Co Cycle and Spynergy names andincurred expenses when they opened to promote those
brands in their markets RecausetheCYCLERAR brand isanewbrand,you might need to
spend more than the minimum amount that the Franchise Agreement requires to promote the
brand in the market.
9. "Rike Lease" covers the monthly payments tbat the Wellesley Studio pays to the
equipment lessor The Royal Cak Studio does not report any Sike Lease expenses because
that studio bought, rather than leased, the bikes We strongly recommend that you lease your
bikes. If you purchase, rather than lease, the bikes, you will pay these costs up front and might
finance these costs.
tO "Equipment" covers the expenses for repairing and replacing the fitness
equipment at the Covered Studio, including costs tor bike repair and maintenance when the
warranty period has lapsed. These amountstend tofluctuatedepending on tbe age and
condition of the equipment. This does not include any costs to acquire the initial equipment
package or any ongoing finance costs relating to purchased equipment. The Royal Cak Studio
does not report any Equipment expenses because that studio opened in April 20t0and did not
need to replace any equipment in the measured period.
For these and otber reasons, we do not represent tbat you can expect to achieve these
levels ot Gross Revenues, costs or ERITOA. Your results will depend on many factors^ some ot
which include your (and your e m p l o y e e s experience, competition, overall economic conditions^
your skill in managingabusiness,and bow hard you are willing to work
Some outlets ha^e sold tbis amount. Your individual results may differ There is no
a^urance tbat you^ll sell as much.

L E A S E RIDER
W H E R E A S , Franchisee and Landlord propose to enter into the lease to which this Rider
is attached (the "Lease"), pursuant to which Franchisee will occupy premises located at
(the "Premises") for the purpose of constructing and operating the Studio in accordance with
the Franchise Agreement; and
During the term of the Franchise Agreement, Franchisee will be permitted to use the
Premises for the operation of the Studio and for no other purpose.
Subject to applicable zoning laws and deed restrictions and to prevailing community
standards of decency, Landlord consents to Franchisee's installation and use of such
trademarks, service marks, signs, decor items, color schemes, and related components of the
CycleBar system as Company may from time to time prescribe for the Studio.
Landlord agrees to furnish Company with copies of all letters and notices it sends to
Franchisee pertaining to the Lease and the Premises, at the same time it sends such letters and
notices to Franchisee.
Company will have the right, without being guilty of trespass or any other crime or tort, to
enter the Premises at any time or from time to time (i) to make any modification or alteration it
considers necessary to protect the CycleBar system and marks, (ii) to cure any default under
the Franchise Agreement or under the Lease, or (iii) to remove the distinctive elements of the
CycleBar trade dress upon the Franchise Agreement's expiration or termination. Neither
Company nor Landlord will be responsible to Franchisee for any damages Franchisee might
sustain as a result of action Company takes in accordance with this provision. Company will
repair or reimburse Landlord for the cost of any damage to the Premises' walls, floor or ceiling
that result from Company's removal of trade dress items and other property from the Premises.
If Franchisee assigns the Lease to Company or its designee in accordance with the
preceding paragraph, the assignee must assume all obligations of Franchisee under the Lease
from and after the date of assignment, but will have no obligation to pay any delinquent rent or
to cure any other default under the Lease that occurred or existed prior to the date of the
assignment.
Franchisee may not assign the Lease or sublet the Premises without Company's prior
written consent, and Landlord will not consent to an assignment or subletting by Franchisee
without first verifying that Company has given its written consent to Franchisee's proposed
assignment or subletting.
Landlord and Franchisee will not amend or modify the Lease in any manner that could
materially affect any of the provisions or requirements of this Lease Rider without Company's
prior written consent.
The provisions of this Lease Rider will supersede and control any conflicting provisions
of the Lease.
Landlord acknowledges that Company is not a party to the Lease and will have no
liability or responsibility under the Lease unless and until the Lease is assigned to, and
assumed by, Company.
IN WITNESS W H E R E O F , the parties have executed this Lease Rider of the date first

A n audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the finandal statement.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment ofthe risks of material misstatement ofthe
