Chairman's Statement

Results for the period

We are pleased to report that revenue continued to show improvement against the corresponding period last year at SGD 3,091k (1H-2018: SGD 2,543k). The trading conditions in Singapore remain challenging, however, the Board are hopeful that the improvement in sales that we have seen will continue throughout the remainder of the year.

The total comprehensive loss of for the period was SGD298k (1H-2018: SGD1,061k loss) which is a significant improvement on the prior year period. The Board continues to keep tight control of costs, continuing to make reductions, where possible, on an ongoing basis.

Cash at bank at the period end was lower than at the same date last year at SGD 187k (1H-2018: SGD659k). The Board continue to manage our cash with available resources and continue to seek cost reductions without compromising our ability to develop the business and increase revenue.

On 26 July 2019, the Company issued 50,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each to Zishange Capital Management Pte Ltd (ZSG) as part of settlement of debt owed to ZSG by New Trend Lifestyle Pte Ltd.

Update on acquisition strategy

The Board have not made any progress with the acquisition strategy as the main focus has been the continued improvement in sales performance. We continue to look for suitable, complementary businesses and will update shareholders with any progress as and when appropriate.

Outlook

The Board are very encouraged by the continued improved performance in the business against the prior year. However, we also continue to adopt a cautious view on the short-term outlook given the economic conditions in our local market. It is difficult to ascertain whether this improvement will continue, however, the Board believe that the Group's results for the current year will show an improvement over the prior year.

New Trend Lifestyle Group Plc

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

   1.   General Information 

New Trend Lifestyle Group Plc ("NTLG" or "Group") is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales with company number 8000104 and is quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange Plc.

   2.   Basis of Preparation 

This interim report, which incorporates the financial information of the Company, has been prepared using the historical cost convention, on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, using accounting policies which are consistent with those set out in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Taxes

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

Standards and Interpretations adopted with no material effect on financial statements

In the current year, the Group, for the first time, has applied IFRS 16 Leases. IFRS 16 introduces new or amended requirements with respect to lease accounting. It introduces significant changes to the lessee accounting by removing the distinction between operating and finance leases and requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the requirements for lessor accounting have remained largely unchanged. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the Group's consolidated financial statements is described below. The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the Modified retrospective approach.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have material impact on the Group.
