S&P Equity Research downgrades Bally Total Fitness (NYSE: BFT) from Hold to Sell.

S&P analyst, E. Kolb, says, "BFT announces a delay in filing its '06 10-K, and says it may have to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if it is unable to restructure its debt. As of 4/16/07, BFT had about $45 million in cash and $827 million of outstanding debt. As of 9/30/06, there was a shareholder deficit of $1.4 billion, partly on deferred revenue liabilities totaling $831M. BFT expects to report a net loss for '06, with membership revenue down 3%. Based on our view of weak finances and heightened risk, we are lowering our 12-month target price to $0.50, from $3."
