INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2004
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
RESULTS
The results for the Reflex Group PLC for the six months ended 30 June 2004 (and
comparatives) show a loss attributable to shareholders of #406,501. This
compares with a loss of #359,000 for the corresponding period ended 30 June
2003. Net operating cash receipts for the 6 months ended 30 June 2004 is #295k
compared to decrease in cash of #48k for the corresponding period.
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 2004 was #1,479,887 which is #109,113 lower
than the turnover for the first six months of 2003, reflecting the less
aggressive accounting policy towards income recognition. The deferred income
adjustment for the six months has reduced the declared turnover by #526,674. A
comparison of takings before deferred income shows that turnover is up #357,000
for the 6 months ended 30 June 2004.
The loss for the six-month period represents a loss of 0.26 pence per ordinary
share compared to a loss of 0.28 pence per ordinary share for the six month
period ending 30 June 2003.
Consolidated net assets as at 30 June 2004 amounted to #411,500 with cash at
bank of #312,827.
CHANGE OF NAME AND BOARD CHANGES
Your Board feels that this is an appropriate juncture to change the name of the
Company to better reflect its activities, and so it is proposed to put a
resolution to the shareholders at an EGM to rename the Company 'Healthy Living
Centres PLC'. The notice of the EGM, to be held at the Shelbourne Hotel, St.
Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland at 10.00 am on 27 October 2004 is enclosed
with this document.
At the same time I feel it is a suitable time to hand over the Chairmanship to
Luke Johnson. He has served as a non-executive director for a number of years,
has a substantial stake in the Company, and has significant experience of retail
and leisure businesses. This change will take place immediately following the
EGM on 27 October 2004.
Joe Walsh will step down from his non-executive directorship, and it is proposed
that Mark Farrer-Brown join the Board in a non-Executive capacity. Mr
Farrer-Brown is a chartered accountant and experienced venture capitalist and
has considerable knowledge of the fitness and health sectors. Again it is
proposed he is appointed immediately following the EGM.
OUTLOOK
The market place continues to experience difficult trading conditions, however
there is an increase in new members and renewals compared to the corresponding
period in 2003, thus improving the outlook for the business. The group is
re-considering its opening program as cashflow is being generated. Franchisees
are being sought and found and the slimming/cosmetic centres are currently being
trialled in a number of centres.

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 2003.
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 2003 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
financial information for the year to 31 December 2003 has been extracted
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 155,261,271 ordinary shares of Euro0.06 each.
5. Additional Information. These results were announced to AIM and will be
posted on 28 September 2004 to all shareholders on the register at 28
September 2004. Copies of this interim report are available from the
company's registered office at 19 Elgin Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
