New Trend Lifestyle Group Plc

("NTLG" or the "Company")

Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2018

New Trend Lifestyle Group Plc (AIM: NTLG), the Singapore-based Feng Shui products and services group, today announces its audited final results for the year ended 31 December 2018.

CHAIRMAN'S & CEO'S STATEMENT, INCLUDING FINANCIAL REVIEW

Background and summary of trading performance

The Group's trading performance showed an improvement in the year, with the sales and marketing initiatives implemented taking effect. This, together with the tight control of costs, resulted in the Group reporting a reduced loss for the year. The trading conditions in Singapore remained challenging, and the Board remain cautious about the continued improvement.

Trading

Sales in the year were SGD6,491k (2017 : SGD4,743k), an increase of 36.85%. The Group loss before tax from continuing operations showed an improvement on the prior year at SGD390k (2017 : SGD1,559k), mainly as a result of the increase in sales, but this also due to the cost reductions and tight control achieved by the Board during the year.

The Group disposed of Le Queenz Pte. Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of New Trend Lifestyle Pte. Ltd) in the period and is now focussed solely on its core activities of providing feng shui products and services.

Costs in the UK were SGD357k (2017 : SGD378k).

Balance sheet

Net inventories increased to SGD723k (2017: SGD689k).

Cash flow

Cash in hand at the year end was SGD1,216k (2017 : SGD2,119k), and the Group continues to manage its cash within its available resources.

Current trading and outlook

Unaudited revenue in the first quarter of 2019 has shown continued improvement compared to 2018, at SGD1,858k (2017 Q1 : SGD1,645k). This has been as a result of continued success with the sales and marketing initiatives. The Board continue to focus on improving sales, whilst maintaining a tight control on costs, such that trading performance continues to improve.

There has been little progress with the sourcing of a new acquisition, as the Board has been focussed on the improvement in trading performance. The Board will continue to update shareholders as and when there is any significant progress in this regard.

POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

In April 2019, New Trend Lifestyle Pte Ltd ("NTLSG") entered into a business partnership agreement with GDI Capital Corporation Pte Ltd, who subscribed for 500,000 shares in NTLSG for SGD100,000.
