2. Relates to gain from the disposal of the Vessel, which was completed in February 2020.

8 A review of the performance of the Group, to the extent necessary for a reasonable understanding of the Group's business. The review must discuss any significant factors that affected the turnover, costs, and earnings of the Group for the current financial period reported on, including (where applicable) seasonal or cyclical factors. It must also discuss any material factors that affected the cash flow, working capital, assets or liabilities of the Group during the current financial period reported on.

(a) Review of Financial Performance of the Group

Revenue decreased by S$0.6 million or 5.9%, to S$8.8 million in HY2020 from S$9.4 million in HY2019, mainly due to the decrease in revenue contribution from the Group's new building and repair segment of S$0.9 million, partially offset by the increase in revenue contribution from the Group's shipping segment of S$0.3 million.

Revenue from the Group's new building and repair segment decreased in HY2020 mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the closure of the Group's key customer's shipyard and most of the Group's foreign workers not being able to work due to the imposed movement restriction measures by the Ministry of Manpower on 21 April 2020. This was partially offset by the increase in revenue contribution from the Group's subsidiary in Malaysia as its business operations became active in HY2020.

Revenue from the Group's shipping segment increased in HY2020 mainly due to the revenue contributed by the Group's vessel, ES Aspire, as she was able to run 16 voyages in HY2020, as compared to 12 voyages in HY2019, during which she was under maintenance from January 2019 to February 2019 due to engine breakdown.

Gross profit decreased by S$0.6 million or 30.9%, to S$1.4 million in HY2020 from S$2.0 million in HY2019. Gross profit margin decreased by 5.8 percentage points to 16.0% in HY2020, from 21.8% in HY2019. The decreases in gross profit and gross profit margin were mainly due to the decrease in the Group's revenue and the Group having to continue to incur basic salary costs for its foreign workers despite the closure of the Group's key customer's shipyard, which resulted in a temporary halt of the Group's operations at the shipyard.

ES GROUP (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

(Company Registration No. 200410497Z)

(Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore)

Other operating income increased by S$2.5 million or 689.1%, to S$2.8 million in HY2020 from S$0.3 million in HY2019, mainly due to:

1. gain on disposal of the Vessel of S$1.5 million;
2. subsidy of S$0.7 million received under the Jobs Support Scheme and foreign worker levy rebate from the Singapore Government as support to employers due to the COVID-19 pandemic; and
3. net foreign exchange gain of S$0.1 million mainly due to the strengthening of USD against SGD in HY2020.

Administrative expenses remained largely stable at S$3.1 million and S$3.0 million in HY2020 and HY2019, respectively.

Other operating expenses decreased by S$0.2 million or 22.8%, to S$0.6 million in HY2020 from S$0.8 million in HY2019, mainly due to a reduction in rental cost for workers' dormitory and related expenses as a result of the Group's cost control measures.

Finance costs decreased by S$0.1 million or 50.5%, to S$0.1 million in HY2020 from S$0.2 million in HY2019. The decrease was due to repayment of bank loan, with outstanding bank loans of S$7.1 million as at 30 June 2019, as compared to S$2.2 million as at 30 June 2020.

As a result of the above, the Group recorded a net profit of S$0.4 million in HY2020, as compared to a net loss of S$1.6 million in HY2019. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company was S$0.8 million in HY2020, as compared to a net loss attributable to owners of the Company of S$1.2 million in HY2019.

(b) Review of Financial Position of the Group

The Group recorded positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of S$19.8 million as at 30 June 2020, as compared to S$21.6 million as at 31 December 2019.

Assets

Current assets

The Group's current assets decreased by S$2.8 million, to S$28.4 million as at 30 June 2020 from S$31.2 million as at 31 December 2019, mainly due to:

1. a decrease in trade receivables of S$1.6 million, which was in line with the reduction in revenue as a result of the closure of the Group's key customer's shipyard due to the COVID-19 pandemic and no work could be completed between April 2020 and June 2020; and
2. a reduction in non-current assets classified as held for sale of S$4.0 million as the sale of the Vessel was completed in February 2020.

The decrease was partially offset by:

1. an increase in cash and cash equivalents of S$2.8 million attributable mainly to the receipt of the balance 90% proceeds of S$5.0 million from the sale of the Vessel, partially offset by the full repayment of an outstanding loan of S$2.2 million granted by SPRING Singapore ("SPRING Loan") in April 2020; and
2. an increase in other receivables of S$0.3 million mainly due to prepayment of work injury compensation insurance and vessel insurance for the second half of 2020.

ES GROUP (HOLDINGS) LIMITED

(Company Registration No. 200410497Z)

(Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore)

Non-current assets

Non-current assets decreased by S$0.6 million, to S$13.6 million as at 30 June 2020 from S$14.2 million as at 31 December 2019, due to depreciation charges of property, plant and equipment in HY2020.

Liabilities

Current liabilities

Current liabilities decreased by S$1.1 million, to S$8.6 million as at 30 June 2020 from S$9.7 million as at 31 December 2019. This was mainly attributable to:

1. the repayment of bank loans of S$0.7 million;
2. a decrease in trade payables of S$0.2 million due to lower purchases of consumables; and
3. a decrease in other payables of S$0.2 million, as a result of (i) a reduction in deposit received of S$0.7 million in relation to the sale of the Vessel as the sale was completed in February 2020; and (ii) an increase in deferred income of S$0.5 million in relation to the subsidy received under the Jobs Support Scheme from the Singapore Government.

Non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities decreased by S$2.1 million, to S$2.4 million as at 30 June 2020 from S$4.5 million as at 31 December 2019, mainly due to the full repayment of the SPRING Loan.

Equity

As a result of the above, total equity of the Group decreased by S$0.2 million, to S$31.0 million as at 30 June 2020 from S$31.2 million as at 31 December 2019.

1. a decrease in other receivables of S$0.3 million;
2. a decrease in trade payables of S$0.2 million; and
3. a decrease in other payables of S$0.2 million.
