NEW TR LIFESTYLE GROUP PLC
("New Trend" or "the Group" or "the Company")
Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2016
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 2016.
CHAIRMAN'S & CEO'S STATEMENT, INCLUDING FINANCIAL REVIEW
Background and summary of trading performance
Trading conditions in Singapore remained tough throughout the
year, as we expected and highlighted at the time of our interim
results in September 2016. The performance in the year was poor,
and the Group continued with its sales and marketing initiatives in
Singapore to bolster sales, whilst maintaining a tight control on
costs.
The Group has been through significant change during the year.
In June 2016, several Board changes occurred, with Robert Goddard
resigning, and Greg Collier, Bo Yee Nancy Leung and Chi Chiu Leung
appointed to the Board. This was accompanied by a change in our
Nominated Adviser, and a focus on a new strategy designed to seek
acquisitions to restore the Group to overall profitability. In
August 2016, the Group successfully raised SGD479,000 (GBP300,000)
net by way of a placing of new ordinary shares to support the new
strategy.
The Company refinanced the convertible loan notes that were due
for repayment on 31 December 2016. These were novated to New Trend
Lifestyle Pte Ltd, and will be repayable on 31 December 2018
subject to certain provisions.
Trading
Sales in the year were SGD5,512k (2015: SGD7,852k), a decline of
29.8%. The Group loss before tax from continuing operations was
SGD1,821k (2015: SGD1,150k), mainly as a result of the sharp
decline in sales, but this loss was mitigated to a degree by the
cost reductions achieved by the Board during the year.
The loss attributable to China was reduced to SGD344k (2015:
SGD407k).
Costs in the UK were reduced to SGD356k (2015: SGD515k).
Balance sheet
Net inventories decreased to SGD683k (2015: SGD864k).
The Company raised SGD479k net in August 2016, to ensure that it
had sufficient cash reserves to help implement its strategy of
identifying new acquisitions where the Company will be required to
undertake due diligence and incur travelling and other related
costs.
Cash flow
Cash in hand at the year end was SGD2,390k (2015: SGD2,854k),
and the Group continues to manage its cash within its available
resources.
CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK
In March, we reported that sales in the first two months of this
financial year were significantly down on the same period last
year, and this trend has continued for the rest of the first
quarter. The Company remains committed to developing new sales and
marketing initiatives to generate revenue, whilst tightly
controlling our costs and managing our cash. The Singapore retail
market continues to be very challenging, and these tough conditions
are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Over the last 12 months, in line with our stated strategy, the
Board has evaluated several potential acquisition targets, however,
to date, none of these have been suitable for the Company to take
forward. The Directors are escalating their efforts on sourcing a
suitable acquisition and will update shareholders with progress as
and when appropriate.
POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
There were no significant post balance sheet events.
