GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Overall Group Operations
Group net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 51.5m, which represents an increase in net loss of USD 19.9m compared to the Group's net loss of USD 31.6m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Overall, the Group increased revenues from the commencement of its US harvests and experienced increased costs from its ramp-up of operations and personnel levels in the US.
Revenue and Harvest Volume
The Group's revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 10.9m, which represents an increase of USD 8.4m compared to the Group's revenue of USD 2.5m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Total volume of fish harvested for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was 1,275 tons HOG, which represents a 922 ton increase in comparison to the Group's harvest volume of 353 tons for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase in both revenue and harvest volume was attributed to the ramp-up of operations following significant completion of the US Phase 1 Bluehouse.
Cost of Materials
The Group's cost of materials for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 38.4m, which represents an increase of USD 33.1m over the Group's cost of materials of USD 5.3 for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase in cost of materials recognized for the current period is attributed to the initial US batches that carried higher production costs due to underutilization of plant capacity and the initial conditions during US Phase 1 construction. Of the current period amount, USD 17.8m was attributed to cost of fish sold, USD 16.3m was attributed to the write-off of biomass incidents and excess production costs from underutilized plant capacity, and USD 4.3m was attributed to processing and shipping costs.
Fair Value Adjustment on Biological Assets
The Group's upward fair value adjustment on biological assets for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 5.0m, which represents an increase of USD 16.2m compared to the Group's downward fair value adjustment on biological assets of USD 11.2 for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to the write-off of production costs from biomass incidents and underutilized plant capacity through cost of materials.
Salary and Personnel Costs
The Group's salary and personnel costs for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 4.3m, which represents an increase of USD 1.5m compared to the Group's salary and personnel costs of USD 2.8m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to the overall increase in personnel count and key new hires.
Other Operating Expenses
The Group's other operating expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 15.6m, which represents an increase of USD 10.5m compared to the Group's operating expenses of USD 5.1m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. Of the current period amount, approximately USD 7.4m consisted of temporary rental chillers and generators attributed to a breakdown in its internal chiller plant causing temporary temperature instability. The remaining other operating expenses were primarily attributed to the overall ramp-up in US operations towards steady- state production.

Depreciation and Amortization
The Group's depreciation and amortization for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 7.5m, which represents an increase of USD 6.2m compared to the Group's depreciation and amortization of USD 1.3m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to the substantial completion and commissioning of its fish systems in the Miami Bluehouse.
Non-Operating Items
The Group's non-operating loss items for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was USD 1.6m, which represents a 6.7m decrease of the Group's non-operating loss items of USD 8.3m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The decrease was primarily attributed to the prior year USD 8.2m finance cost write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance cost upon amending the US Term Loan.
GROUP FINANCIAL POSITION
The Group's total assets as of 30 June 2021 were USD 392.1m, which represents an increase of USD 125.8m compared to the Group's total assets of USD 266.3m as of 30 June 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to significant completion of the Miami Bluehouse, proceeds of the 10 September 2020 and 3 June 2021 capital raises, and ramp-up in biological assets.
The Group's total equity as of 30 June 2021 was USD 320.6m, which represents an increase of USD 142.9m compared to the Group's total equity of USD 177.7m as of 30 June 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to proceeds of the 10 September 2020 and 3 June 2021 capital raises offset by net losses.
The Group completed capital raises on 10 September 2020 for NOK 905.5m (USD 100.4m) and on 3 June 2021 for NOK 1,016m (USD 121m). As of 30 June 2021, 91,013,551 shares were issued and outstanding.
The Group's total liabilities as of 30 June 2021 were USD 71.5m, which represents a decrease of USD 17.1m compared to the Group's total liabilities of USD 88.6m as of 30 June 2020. The decrease is primarily attributed to the USD 20m pay down against the US Term Loan.
The Group's debt to equity ratio as of 30 June 2021 was 22.3%, which represents a decrease of 27.6% from 49.9% as of 30 June 2020. The decrease was primarily attributed to the USD 20m paydown of the US Term Loan, proceeds from the 10 September 2020 and 3 June 2021 capital raises, and net losses.
On 18 April 2020, ASUS obtained a two-year loan payable to PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") under the Paycheck Protection Program (the "Program") as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act passed in March 2020 (the "PPP Loan"). On 7 September 2021, the full USD 1.2m outstanding balance of the Group's PPP Loan was forgiven under the provisions of the CARES Act and recognized as other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As of 30 June 2021, the Group's 2020 DNB Credit Facility totaled USD 200m of which USD 102m was committed and USD 98m uncommitted through an accordion facility. Of the committed amounts, USD 50m was outstanding as of 30 June 2021. Remaining undrawn committed amounts consist of a USD 16m US RCF, USD 4m DK RCF, and USD 32m committed term loan for Phase 2 capital expenditures.
GROUP CASH FLOWS
Group cash outflows from operations for the six months ended 30 June 2021 were USD 35.6m, which represents an increase of USD 17.0m compared to the Group's cash outflows from operations of USD 18.6m for the six months ended 30 June 2020. The increase in Group cash outflows from operations was primarily due to the Group's ramp-up of biomass cost of production in compared to prior periods, lower harvest volumes in comparison to production volume, high processing costs, and the breakdown of ASUS' internal chiller plant that resulted in USD 7.4m in short-term temporary rental chillers and generators through 30 June 2021.
Group cash outflows from investing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2021 were USD 20.9m, which represents a decrease of USD 8.9m compared to the Group's cash outflows from investing activities of USD 29.8m. The decrease in Group cash outflows from investment activities was primarily attributed to US Phase 1 construction of the Miami Bluehouse nearing significant completion.
