Business Review

As a result of the worldwide outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic and the sharp decrease in international oil price, total revenue of the Group has decreased by approximately 12.0% from approximately HK$322.6 million in the first three quarters of 2019 to approximately HK$283.8 million for the first three quarters of 2020. In the first three quarters of 2020, the Group has recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$22.7 million (first three quarters of 2019: HK$4.1 million) and an EBITDA of approximately HK$40.6 million (first three quarters of 2019: HK$65.4 million).

The economic uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the low and volatile oil price environment reduced the capital and operating expenditure of oil and gas companies and resulted in a slow-down in the overall exploration and production activities, which caused delay and cancellation of tenders and orders from customers. As a result, the business of the Group, in particular revenue from well completion, has been adversely affected.

- 2 -

With the gradual recovery of the economy in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), the business of the Group is showing an initial sign of rebound. Revenue from drilling for the first three quarters of 2020 has increased by approximately 80.5% as compared with that of the first three quarters of 2019. Revenue from production enhancement for the first three quarters of 2020 has only decreased by approximately 8.5% as compared with that of the first three quarters of 2019. Revenue from consultancy services for the first three quarters of 2020 has also increased by approximately 23.3% as compared with that of the first three quarters of 2019.

OUTLOOK

With the hope of the COVID-19 vaccine being gradually introduced and applied globally, the Group is cautiously optimistic that its business will begin to recover in the near future. In addition, with the PRC's national policy to secure national energy safety and to encourage shale gas consumption for environmental protection, major national oil companies in the PRC has set up development plans to accelerate the exploration and development of shale gas fields in the PRC. As a result, the production enhancement services, drilling services and consultancy services provided by the Group will continue to have positive prospects in the next few years.
