                   REFLEX GROUP PLC ("Reflex" or the "Group")

             PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED
                                31 DECEMBER 2003


CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


Results

The results for the Reflex Group PLC ("Reflex") for the year ended 31 December
2003 show a loss attributable to shareholders of #840,000. This compares with a
loss of #398,000 for the corresponding year ended 31 December 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 year of 2003 was #2,946,000 which is #937,000 less than the
turnover for the year of 2002, reflecting the difficult trading conditions
across the sector.

The loss for the year represents a loss of 0.64 pence per ordinary share
compared to a loss of 0.31 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31
December 2002.

Consolidated net assets as at 31 December 2003 amounted to #818,000 with cash at
bank of #91,000.


Events during the year

The business experienced a difficult year and consequently no new outlets were
opened.

During the year the Group's Finance Director Ian Salkeld resigned from the
company and we thank him for all his assistance. We are pleased to announce
Chris Marsh as the new Finance Director of the Group.


Outlook

The market place continues to be tough but turnover is showing a gradual
improvement. Every outlet has recently completed a cost reduction program and
currently the business is generating positive cashflow. The opening of further
centres is still on hold. Other opportunities have been investigated. A joint
venture is in place with National Slimming centres to put slimming outlets into
some of the centres. Two franchises have been put in place in 2004.
