The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2018.

£ £ £ £
Revenue 22,810,058 24,562,566 20,252,335 17,421,560

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.

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:

D L Grosz - resigned 28 December 2018
A Message - appointed 28 December 2018

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.


CORE HEALTH & FITNESS TRADING LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03945058)

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:





A Message - Director


24 April 2019

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued
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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.
