INTERIM REPORT

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
RESULTS
The results for the Reflex Group PLC ("Reflex") for the six months ended 30 June
2003 (and comparatives) show a loss attributable to shareholders of #359,000.
This compares with a loss of #79,000 for the corresponding period ended 30 June
2002.
The Group's business continues to be the operation of the Motorcise chain of
Healthy Living Centres. The Group currently operates 32 outlets.
Turnover in the first six months of 2003 was #1,589,000 which is #486,000 less
than the turnover for the first six months of 2002, reflecting the difficult
trading conditions currently being experienced in the sector.
The loss for the six-month period represents a loss of 0.28 pence per ordinary
share compared to a loss of 0.06 pence per ordinary share for the six month
period ending 30 June 2002.
Consolidated net assets as at 30 June 2003 amounted to #1,482,000 with cash at
bank of #174,000.
I wish to thank Ian Salkeld, who is retiring from the Board as of today's date,
for all his support to the Group since he first joined the Board as a
non-executive director in February 1997.
OUTLOOK
The Group continues to experience difficult trading conditions. It has recently
completed a cost reduction program and, for the moment, has put a hold on
opening further centres. Joint venture possibilities are being assessed.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM RESULTS
1. Accounting policies. The interim results have been prepared on the same basis
and using the same accounting policies as those used in the preparation of
the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2002.
2. Currency. Following the acquisition of Fitness & Leisure Group (trading as
Motorcise) in September 2001, all Group activity has been in pounds sterling
and these unaudited accounts have been prepared in sterling. Comparative
figures for the six months to 30 June 2002 are also in sterling.
3. The Interim financial statements do not constitute statutory financial
statements within the meaning of Section 19 of the Companies Act 1986. The

from the statutory accounts for the year then ended which have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The audit report on these accounts was
unqualified.
4. Earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share is based on the
results for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares in
issue, being 130,261,771 ordinary shares of Euro0.06 each.

posted on 24 September 2003 to all shareholders on the register at 19
