Core Health & Fitness Trading Limited continues to achieve success in turning its business operations around |
despite a 7.1% drop in turnover in 2018. This was attributable to certain key accounts not buying the volumes |
expected and investing in our products outside the EMEA region. Despite the drop in turnover there was |
positive news with the dealer volumes in the UK, opportunities in Europe and Middle East. |
We have benefited further from investment in people in key roles and continue to build upon this to grow the |
business in 2018 and beyond. As a business we continually seek to develop & evolve our relationships with |
our Customers & Distributors, becoming true business partners. 2019 is expected to be an exciting year with |
several new commercial & consumer models coming on track. |
In 2018 our Global; corporate theme is "Delighting the Customer, both internally & externally, cross |
functionally". This continues into 2019. The Seven Core values play to win, keep score, own it, change it up, |
all in, find a way and speak up continue to guide and inform our relationships. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
In 2018 we continued to enhance customer experience, and ongoing promotion of our brands reflects a |
company that is easy to do business with. We continue to work hard on our objective of delivering "best in |
class" service levels. Our success of this has been measured by continued monitoring of our time to service |
which is current at 1.39 days in line with 2017. This has been enhanced by the introduction of a new customer |
portal in 2018 - Core Connect. |
We continue to review our channel performance to ensure we match return and investment. |
2018 saw the first of the Customer Scorecard review meetings. These quarterly meetings, using agreed, |
metrics have provided strong platforms for informed debate and future planning. Metrics include percentage |
of on time & complete shipments to the customer and average order lead times. |
POSITION OF THE COMPANY AT THE YEAR END |
Core Health & Fitness has successfully built a solid foundation from which to take the business forward. We |
will continue to be a company that will bring innovation in products to market together with strong business |
solutions to support the business success of our customers. We continued to be an innovative player within |
the fitness equipment market. These objectives will be supported by our continual focus to build strong, |
strategic and beneficial relationships within the EMEA fitness sector operators. |
CORE HEALTH & FITNESS TRADING LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03945058) |
STRATEGIC REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The key risks and uncertainties surrounding the company at the end of 2018, moving into 2019 can be |
identified as follows: |
Brexit: |
The business imports all its product requirements for the EMEA region into Holland from factories both in |
China & the US; consequently, the Directors see the key unmitigated risk currently as the importation of |
product into the UK Market. Active dialogue with the company's advisors has been the main source of this |
risk's mitigation. |
Competition & Price Sensitivity: |
The size of the UK fitness market is growing, and we see growth in planned investment by the fitness industry |
through 2019. However, the market continues to see a consolidation of purchasing power. Our Key Account |
business continues to develop as we develop existing relationships and our success in this market puts us in |
a stronger position to develop our market positioning through 2019. The business also continues to leverage |
US customer expansion into the region. |
Across EMEA, we operate through a network of distributors. Whilst there are specific areas and countries |
where the fitness industry is expanding, there are of course also challenges around some economic and |
political environments across the region. The restructure of our distribution network, together with a vastly |
improved product portfolio positions us well to drive the business forward. |
Legislation: |
Currently, In the UK and the EU, products must be manufactured and comply with all current EU Standards. |
Likewise, our employee contracts are also governed by EU legislation. |
The business is actively watching the process of Brexit and will proactively adapt in both areas, as required, to |
support our existing and future customer bases in EMEA. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
CORE HEALTH & FITNESS TRADING LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03945058) |
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2018. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of supply and maintenance of fitness |
equipment. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2018. |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
The directors look forward to increasing growth in the coming years and an increase in profitability. |
DIRECTORS |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The company's principal financial instruments comprise bank balances, trade creditors, trade debtors, and |
loans to the company. The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the company's operations |
and to finance the company's operations. |
Due to the nature of the financial instruments used by the company there is no exposure to price risk. The |
company's approach to managing other risks applicable to the financial instruments concerned is shown |
below. |
In respect of bank balances the liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a balance between the continuity of |
funding and the flexibility through the use of overdrafts at floating rates of interest. The company makes use |
of money market facilities where funds are available. |
The company manages the liquidity risk by ensuring that there are sufficient funds to meet the payments. The |
director is aware of the company's required finance and has determined that these will only be repaid, in |
whole or in part, when finance is available. |
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cash flow risk by policies concerning the credit offered to |
customers and the regular monitoring of amounts outstanding for both time and credit limits. |
The liquidity risk of trade creditors is managed by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to meet amounts |
due. |

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial |
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law |
the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally |
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company |
law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and |
fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In |
preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain |
the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the |
company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They |
are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for |
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the |
Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps |
that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and |
to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
AUDITORS |
Pursuant to Section 487 of the Companies Act 2006, the auditor will be deemed to be reappointed and |
Wilkins Kennedy Audit Services will therefore continue in office. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
CORE HEALTH & FITNESS TRADING LIMITED |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of Core Health & Fitness Trading Limited (the 'company') for the |
year ended 31 December 2018 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, |
Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant |
accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable |
law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial |
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted |
Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2018 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and |
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' |
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the |
company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements |
in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in |
accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and |
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to |
report to you where: |
- | the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or |
- | the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the |
Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report |
of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent |
otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, |
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or |
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such |
material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a |
material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, |
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other |
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
CORE HEALTH & FITNESS TRADING LIMITED |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of |
the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to |
report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, the directors are |
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair |
view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial |
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to |
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going |
concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease |
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free |
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes |
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit |
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. |
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, |
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these |
financial statements. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial |
Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our |
Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of |
Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the |
company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other |
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other |
than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the |
opinions we have formed. |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
1. | GENERAL INFORMATION |
Core Health & Fitness Trading Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England |
and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the |
Company Information page. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 |
"The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies |
Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£) which is also the functional currency for the |
company. |
Going concern |
The company is receiving continued support from its parent company, who have confirmed that this |
support will continue for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these |
financial statements. Therefore the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting |
in preparing the financial statements. |
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions |
The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial |
statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and |
Republic of Ireland": |
• | the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows; |
• | the requirement of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and |
value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of good and services. |
Sale of goods |
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of |
the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the |
delivery of the goods. |
Sale of services |
Turnover from the sale of services is recognised in accordance with performance of the terms of the |
contractual agreements with the customers. |

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated |
impairment losses. |
At each reporting date, tangible assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that |
those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the |
recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the |
estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable |
amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. |
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the |
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been |
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of |
impairment is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. |
Depreciation has been computed to write off the cost of all tangible fixed assets over their useful |
expected lives using the following rates: |
Improvements to property - straight line over the life of the lease |
Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost and 20% on cost |
Computer equipment - 33% on cost and 20% on cost |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
Stocks |
Stock have been valued at the lower of cost and the estimated selling price less costs to sell. |
Taxation |
Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the |
current or past reporting periods using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by |
the reporting date. |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax |
losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will |
be recovered against future taxable profits or against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. |
Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the |
reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Foreign currencies |
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the entity's functional currency by applying |
the spot exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities |
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet |
date. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the |
risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset to the company. All other leases are classified as |
operating leases. |
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and |
are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the asset's useful lives. |
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the statement of comprehensive income on a |
straight line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised over the lease term on a |
straight line basis. |
Deferred warranty revenue |
Deferred warranty revenue relates to future revenue arising from payments received for extended |
warranty and is recognised on a straight line basis over the life of the service provided. Costs related to |
servicing the extended warranty plan are expensed as incurred. |
Debtors |
Trade and other debtors are measured at transaction price less any impairment unless the |
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction in which case the transaction is measured at the |
present value of the future receipts discounted at the prevailing market rate of interest. Loans are |
initially measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective |
interest method less any impairment. |
Creditors |
Trade and other creditors are measured at their transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a |
financing transaction in which case the transaction is measured at present value of future payments |
discounted at prevailing market rate of interest. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair |
value net of their transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the |
effective interest method. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term |
deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less. For the purpose of the consolidated |
cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined |
above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. |
Employee benefits |
Short term employee benefits, including holiday entitlement, other non-monetary benefits and |
contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which they |
are incurred. |
The company recognises an accrual for accumulated annual leave accrued by employees as a result |
of services rendered in the current period for which employees can carry forward and use within the |
next year. The accrual is measured at the salary cost of the respective employee in relation to the |
period of absence. |

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and |
assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other |
sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other |
factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to |
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision |
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both |
current and future periods. |
